Serving the Upper Connecticut River Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire
Welcome to Kol Ha'Emek - The Upper Valley Jewish Community
Kol Ha'Emek ("voice of the valley") ~ We are an eclectic, welcoming, egalitarian congregation providing Jewish spiritual, educational, social and cultural opportunities for the local Jewish community.
March 26, 2026, 7pm EDT: “What Do We Mean By Prayer (Tefillah)?” Hasidic Torah Study on Zoom with Rabbi Brian Besser.
Description:
What is prayer? What difference does prayer make to ourselves, to others, to the world at large, and to God? What do we do with distracting thoughts when we’re trying to pray? Is it proper to pray for specific things? Part of ongoing monthly series: “Mekor Ha-chayim (The Wellspring of Life): Spiritual lessons on the weekly Torah portion from the early Hasidic masters.” Students and seekers of all levels and backgrounds are welcome, whether you’ve attended prior sessions or not. The material will be presented in Hebrew and English translation.
Schedule: All sessions on Zoom, 7 pm – 8:15pm
Ongoing sessions: the last Thursday evening of every month
