Lessons on each Jewish holiday fill the calendar as we proceed Rosh Hashanah and the High Holidays through Hannukah, Purim, Passover, and the festival of Shavuot. Prayer time focuses on the study and understanding of prayer and the Siddur (prayer book). They also learn wonderful songs from both the liturgy as well as songs about Jewish life and traditions.
