Tefillah can be a very personal experience, and the weekly specialized ‘boutique tefillah’ program offers students at RKYHS an opportunity to individualize their davening. Students were given the option, once a week, instead of attending the regular school minyan, of exploring themes and ideas about tefillah in an informal group setting. With a wide range of choices to select from, students were able to discuss their questions and struggles with tefillah and learn different perspectives from various members of the Judaic Studies faculty. Some of the close to a dozen options for tefillah groups included Tefillah Through Song, where students connect to tefillah using the power of music and the power of uniting voices in song; The Vicissitudes of Tefillah, which takes a close look at the various themes and tones embedded in tefillah; Tefillah and Halacha, which focuses on what Halacha says about the nature of tefillah and Reflective Tefillah, which uses different tefillot and stories each week to elicit discussion and reflect on how tefillot relate to students, and teaches how tefillot can help students connect to their lives and to Hashem in today’s world. Through this individualized tefillah program, each and every student will find his or her unique voice in the very special daily opportunity of connection to Hashem.
