When to Stand, When to Bow

When to Stand, When to Bow: A Prayer Class from Sanctuary to Shabbat Table You know the basics. But when you walk into a synagogue, do you know when to stand, bow, or sit? What if you're called up to the Torah? Could you lead Shabbat at home without wondering what comes next? This five-week, in-person class is for anyone who wants to feel more comfortable doing Jewish.
