What this page offers

One day. Two ways to draw near.

You do not need an intermediary to reach the World Creator. Prayer is Emuna, and the door has always been open. What we offer is a place at the table, and a hand on the way in.

The First

Your name, carried in prayer from Jerusalem

Leave a name, and it is brought before Hashem in the prayers of Yom Kippur, offered from Jerusalem, near the place the whole world turns toward. It joins the prayer of a community, where an individual plea becomes part of something whole. You may ask for health, peace in the home, livelihood, or whatever your heart carries.

The Second

Learn to reach Him yourself

With your name, you receive a free prayer course. What prayer truly is, and how a person stands before the World Creator and speaks in their own words. Not a technique and not a performance, but the bringing of your whole self. Four recorded lessons, drawn from the Hebrew Bible and taught from Jerusalem, yours to keep.

כִּי נָבִיא הוּא, וְיִתְפַּלֵּל בַּעַדְךָ וֶחְיֵה

"For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live."

Genesis 20:7


The way it is done

Named before Him, from the right place.

I

You leave a name

A first name, and the mother's name. In Hebrew tradition, when we ask for mercy, healing, and blessing over a living person, they are named before Hashem with their mother's name. It is the language of compassion.

II

It is carried from Jerusalem

Your name is included in the prayers of Yom Kippur, offered from Jerusalem, close to His house. Not instead of your own voice, but alongside it, held within the prayer of the community.

III

You learn the way in

The prayer course opens the same day. You do not remain someone who is prayed for. You become someone who knows how to reach the World Creator, in your own words.

Questions people ask

Before you leave a name.

Is this really free?

Yes. There is no payment and no catch. Leaving a name for prayer and receiving the course cost nothing. This teaching is not for sale.

Whose name should I leave?

Your own, or the name of someone you carry in your heart: a family member, a friend, anyone in need of mercy, health, or blessing. You leave a first name and the mother's name.

Why the mother's name?

In Hebrew tradition, when we pray for mercy and healing over a living person, they are named before Hashem with their mother's name. It is the language of compassion, drawn from the Hebrew Bible.

Do I have to be Jewish, or convert, to be included?

No. This is for every human being who wishes to draw near to the World Creator. The Noahide path is a covenant and a way of life, open to all the nations. No one converts, and no one is asked to.

What is the prayer course?

Four recorded lessons on what prayer is and how to stand before Hashem in your own words, drawn from the Hebrew Bible and taught from Jerusalem. The first lesson opens the moment you leave your details.
