Join Rabbi Weintraub and our Siddur Lev Shalem for a musical journey through our souls, history, and liturgy. Each class will have a daytime (in-person) and evening option (in-person or Zoom). Each class can be attended individually, but those who participate in 80% of classes will get a certificate of completion on Shavuot, May 23, 2026. Note: While the texts will be the same morning and evening, you are welcome to come to both, as every one of you changes the dynamic and content of the class.
