Tefila+Initiative

Each week you will be leraning about a different part of the davening. You will be asked to write a paragraph of 8-12 sentences on the topic of the week. In each paragrahh you should answer the following questions: 1) What is the main idea of this tefila? (what is the part of tefila takling about?) 2) Explain how we see this based on the details found in that part of davening. 3) Why do you think this is part of tefila? 4) How will this help you in your own personal tefila? 5) Where did you get your information from? (web page, book, article, etc.)
