The Great Tefilla Conference
Makor Chaim Institutions * Jewish Renewal Center
In memory of the late Judge Nava Danon and this year also in memory of our founder Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz of blessed memory
This year’s pandemic calls for us to engage the upcoming holidays in a new way - for us to step up ourselves and be the cantors, the rabbis, the shofar blowers. We will all need to take a more empowered and direct approach this year.
We invite you to join your Israeli brothers and sisters in unique online preparatory meetings for the holidays (in Hebrew) at Makor Chaim’s Great Tefilla Conference with Israel's most famous motivational speakers: Yemima Mizrachi, Racheli Fraenkel, Rabbis Dov Singer, Yosef Zvi Rimon, Yehoshua Shapiro, Eliezer Melamed and many more. See the great schedule below.
Classes will be held via a special link to our Jewish Renewal Center’s YouTube channel on Sunday-Thursday | Sept. 6-10
In addition, the series will culminate with a grand “Hitvaadut” and musical performance on Sunday Sept. 13th , featuring Rabbi Dov Singer and Rabbi Yossi Froman with the “Kleiner Band" and special guest artist Eviatar Banai. See below for more details.
Sept. 6-13 | י"ז- כ"ד אלול
Here's a taste of the previous events
We've been doing this annually for over a decade, but this year, we need it more than ever! At previous conferences, over 700 people would gather together for an afternoon and evening, taking part in 12 rotating workshops dealing with different aspects of inner spiritual development and then coming together for the climax - a mass spiritual / musical "happening".
Just like a musician has to tune his instrument before he goes on stage, so too, we all really need to tune our hearts before Rosh HaShanah, but the pressures of everyday life just don’t let us do this. The conference affords us a safe space and opportunity to tune our hearts, to find the tools for internal spiritual development which can then express itself as meaningful prayer.
Here's the schedule of our great motivational speakers
