Making T'filah Meaningful
Twelve Student Booklets and Guiding Lesson Plan Manual

Making T'filah Meaningful is a series of individual 8-page prayer booklets that focus attention on meaning and kavanah in prayer. Students dig deeply into the meanings of individual prayers and also explore larger questions including, "Why do we pray?" "What meaning can prayer bring to my life?" "How does prayer relate to our lives?"

Student Journal Booklets: Twelve individual booklets, one for each prayer included in the series, explore specific Jewish prayers for themes of gratitude, love, kindness, holiness, mindfulness, comfort, respect, family, and community through guided activities such as text study, prompted discussions, games, role-playing, and mindfulness exercises. Learners can explore through chevruta (partners), small groups, or individually. 

Lesson Plan Manual: A complete guide to using the booklets, including active experiences to further student exploration, background information, and ideas and accommodations for students with special needs.
