Episode 180 - The Tefilla (Prayer) Trailblazer: A Conversation with Tamar Nusbaum {OU Impact Mini-Series 2/4}

ABOUT THIS EPISODE Tamar Nusbaum had been a longtime educator and curriculum expert when she was tapped to formulate a new educational module for tefilla - Jewish prayer. She tackled this challenge deftly, founding Ani Tefilla, now functioning in a wide range of Jewish schools. Her revolutionary “Stop. Think. Feel.” approach is reshaping the face of tefilla, a notoriously challenging religious activity, for scores of young students. -------------------- ABOUT THIS PODCAST Jews You Should Know introduces the broader community to interesting and inspiring Jewish men and women making a difference in our world.
