In the first blessing of the Amidah, we remind God of our ancestors — our forefathers and foremothers. How are we blessed by being the their descendants? And why is this connection so important to Judaism? Join Student Cantor Joe Flaxman on Zoom for a deep dive into the first blessing of the Amidah, the “Avot v’Imahot.” Investigate its meaning and history, where it falls in the morning service and how different musical settings affect the way we understand it. A great intro to Shabbat liturgy and enriching for more experienced.
