Hagar and Hannah: Praying from the Depths of our Souls
Hosted By: My Jewish Learning
a special pre Rosh Hashanah Torah study with Rabbi Elliot Goldberg
Friday, September 11, 10:30 a.m. ET
Join Rabbi Elliot Goldberg for a special pre-Rosh Hashanah Torah study exploring two women whose desperate prayers echo through our High Holiday liturgy: Hagar, crying out in the wilderness as her son Ishmael nears death, and Hannah, pouring out her silent, anguished prayer for a child in the sanctuary at Shiloh.
Both women speak from the rawest edges of grief and longing — and both are heard. Their stories, drawn from the Torah and Haftarah readings of Rosh Hashanah, offer a profound lens for the prayers we ourselves bring into the new year.
By signing up, you’ll get a link to join the conversation on Friday, September 11th at 10:30 am ET / 7:30 am PT and will start receiving reminders for our weekly group Torah study sessions and our weekly event email.
