Morning Reflection and Torah Reading
Ida Noyes Hall
Description: Start your day in inner contemplation, gently peppered with the inspiring words of King David’s psalms, all delicately wrapped around the Hear O Israel meditation. Continue with a course of Total Awe for the Silent Prayer. Kids program at 10:00AM.
Recommendation: Use this time for reflection and contemplation. Read whatever works for you from the prayer book, but don’t miss saying Hear O Israel with the community.
11:00 - 12:00PM
