This week, Eliana, Ellen, and Josh explore the last of the petitionary prayers of the Amidah and the transitional section, “r’tzei.” Topics include our favorite sounds,  g?d (not) as vending machine, sacrifice and service, and the present (and presence) of present tense. Plus we share some favorite melodies! What does it mean to hear our prayers? Check out this week’s show notes on our new website!  Follow us on facebook and instagram @thelight.lab.
