Confession: Sometimes after eating bread I substitute
"brich rachamana malka d'alma ma'arey d'hai pita"
("blessed is the merciful one, ruler of the world, creator of this bread.")
in place of the entire birkat ha'mazon.
It doesn't feel quite right, but.... it's got to be better than saying nothing.

What could we #Jews and #Muslims do together?
A group of Jews & Muslims assembled at the Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles, and also at City Hall, and performed their prayers together publicly. The day ended with a rooftop Isha’a, the Muslim midnight prayer while the Jewish participants recited Piyyutim, liturgical poetry.
We could do such things in our own community.

Have you used "Gates of Shabbat: Shaarei Shabbat" from #CCAR and the #ReformJewish movement?
It is Reform Judaism's classic how-to guide about Shabbat observance and practices.
This book is about Shabbat -- the Jewish treasure that comes around every seven days. In the midst of our freedom, Shabbat offers roots and inspiration along with joy and hope.
Have you read the Reform movement's "Gates of Understanding: A Companion Volume to Gates of Prayer"? What are your thoughts?
Includes essays on #tefila, #Hebrew prayers, #Jewish #liturgy, holiness, #theology, & music, by leading thinkers in #ReformJudaism. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of liturgy and Reform Jewish practice.
Have you davened from Mishkan Hanefesh? This is the newest #mahzor from #ReformJudaism
In your view, how does it compare to the classic Reform prayerbook, Gates of Repentance? Or to the Conservative movement's Mahzor Lev Shalem? Or to the Modern Orthodox mahzor from Koren?
Have you davened from Mishkan Tefila? This is the newest #siddur from #ReformJudaism
In your view, wow does it compare to the classic Reform prayerbook, Gates of Prayer? To the Conservative movement's Siddur Sim Shalom, or the #ModernOrthodox Koren Sacks Siddur?
Do we wait for moments of spirituality, or do we work to infuse spirituality into our daily lives? Rabbi Reuven Hammer writes (click for quote)
Why should we pray? In Judaism one can see several schools of thought about this: The social approach; Rationalist; Mystical; and Educational. We take a look at these different points of view here
