Preparation is probably the biggest factor which will make the holidays special
for some, but extraordinary for others. If you've ever been in services and
wondered - what are we doing now? - what page are we on? - what is the
significance of this section? - this class is for you! Take a bit of time to explore
the beauty and complexity of the machzor texts, liturgy, and process of our
services. This class should help you understand better without losing your place.
We hope you will join Sarina to touch up on your familiarity with the machzor,
your guide through the Holy Days.
Session 1: What Page Are We On? The Machzor Menu
Session 2: The Rosh Hashanah Service? More Fascinating than Honey Cake!
Session 3: Yom Kippur? How Many Pages till we Break the Fast?
