For upper school tefilah, we had a choice of which tefilah we did for the semester. I chose to do musical tefilah. In musical tefilah, we took a part of the Amidah and make our own tune, showing some Kavana (the meaning and how you think about the prayer). We used the main part of the Amidah for our tune. I liked doing this though it was hard to do. It made me think that you don’t always have to do the original songs and tunes during Tefilah. I hope that I can try this again another time so that I can learn more.

My learning journey
I was lucky enough to be in the room when students were sharing their original tunes. It was so cool to see how creative and collaborative you and your classmates were! Maybe you’ll sing the tune for us at home.
This this the first song you ever wrote? Very cool!
