Teaching the Poetry of Prayer

Advertisement

We’ve taught our children how to pray–we’ve taught them fluency, we’ve taught them Hebrew literacy, we’ve taught them how to navigate the siddur. But Hillel Broder worries that this is not enough.

Hillel holds a PhD in English from The Graduate Center, CUNY and is currently the Principal of DRS Yeshiva HS for Boys. He has also taught at SAR High School, Yeshiva University HS for Boys, and Fordham University. Hillel is an instructional leader whose teaching practice encompasses contemplative education, prayer education, and interdisciplinary approaches to literature and poetry composition.
