Learning about Liturgy with  R. Richard Hirsh
TUESDAYS MARCH 4, 11, & 18 ON ZOOM

1. The architecture/arrangement of (all) Jewish liturgies: Part 1 being the Creation-Revelation-Sh'ma-Redemption structure, Part 2 being the arrangement of the themes of the Amida.

2. The emergence in rabbinic literature 2,000 years ago of the roots of our liturgy. The evolution up to the earliest datable siddurim in the 8-10th centuries.  The impact of the printing press and the first mass-produced prayerbooks, and the drift into standardization.

3. The perceived problems of liturgy in the 19th -20th century and attempts to adapt.
