Last month’s Lunch and Learn session with Rebbetzin Chana, part of the Rosh Chodesh Society course on The Power of Prayer, focused on the Amidah — the silent devotion at the heart of Jewish prayer — and brought new depth and clarity to a prayer many recite daily.
Rebbetzin Chana guided the group through the Amidah, helping participants to not only understand its structure, but also connect with its spiritual essence. She brought the prayer to life, revealing its relevance and power in everyday life.
For those who have said the Amidah for years, this class opened a new dimension — we were reminded that every request we make in prayer is worthy and purposeful, because our deepest desires can become vessels for divine service.
Rebbetzin Chana also addressed a powerful truth: While we naturally pray for ease and smoothness in life, it is often in the moments that go off course — especially in those moments — that our connection to G-d can grow even stronger. Challenges are not setbacks; they are opportunities for spiritual elevation and a deeper bond with the Divine.
