JKHA middle school students studying the Shemoneh Esrei in their weekly tefilla classes are excited as their year long project of creating a “personalized Shemoneh Esrei companion” reaches completion. As they learned about the depth and meaning of each bracha, students entered translations into their siddurim. Students were able to insert the commentary of their choice in the “making it meaningful” section, while personalizing their siddur by adding their own thoughts in the “making it personal” section. The school is hopeful that the students’ in-depth study of the tefilot, together with their new siddurim that they created, will be used to continue to inspire a lifetime of dedicated prayer.
