Spiritual Accessibility: Small Changes for Transformative T’fillah

The siddur is full of simple spiritual wisdom, tools of resilience to live in the world as it is and inspiration to change the world for the better. We urgently need this wisdom, and yet the siddur remains inaccessible for many. How can we help those in the kahal (praying community) do this spiritual work in a safe and supported way? Together, we’ll explore the what, why, and how of spiritual accessibility, with a focus on the transformative potential of the transitions between prayers. These are small changes that can add depth to services (without adding a ton of time!) Together, let’s unlock these crucial tools for our people.

All programs are free of charge, and open to all.

Eliana is working towards a world of One-ness, guided and inspired by Jewish heritage. She is the founder and head T’fillahsopher at the Light Lab and the co-host of the Light Lab podcast. She is also a sought-after songwriter and performer of catchy, content-rich tunes for all ages and has put out four albums of original music, Eliana makes Jewish liturgy and prayer practice accessible and meaningful to all seekers.

Eliana received her Masters in Jewish Experiential Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary in 2016, and is based in Durham, North Carolina.
