10:00 a.m. until 12:15 p.m.
Taught by David Lerner
This class will look closely at commonly sung passages from the Machzor, studying the vocabulary and grammar basics to help you fully understand these important passages.

Time permitting, we will read and discuss the haftarot, specifically the haftarah for the first day of Rosh HaShana
(from 1st Samuel) and for the morning of Yom Kippur (from Isaiah).

There is no charge for this class, and there is no need to preregister. Materials will be provided, but please bring your Machzor, if possible.
