"Unraveling the majesty of Nusach Hatefilah and fostering a deeper connection to Hashem through the music of Davening"
Nusach Hatefilah - the modes and melodies of Davening - have accompanied Tefilah for hundreds of years. But why do we sing what we sing? What do these age old melodies add to our Davening? Why do some Tefilos sound exactly the same while others are completely different? How do I lead Davening effectively? Rabbi Sieger provides the answers to those questions and more through
-engaging "informances" (informative performances) where he will exhibit and elucidate different aspects of Nusach Hatefilah
- leads by example as the Shliach Tzibbur and
- runs workshops with members of the Shul to improve their competency as Shluchei Tzibur.
Ba'al Tefilah
From the intensity of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to the joy of a family Simcha, I am eager to lead a meaningful Tefilah for you and your community for any occasion. I have led Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services for over 10 years and have led Tefilos for diverse and varied audiences from Australia to Israel and many places in between. Please contact me so we can get started creating a truly memorable and spiritual experience for your community and family.
