It was once asked, "Rebbe, how do you create such 'interesting' services"?
The Rebbi stroked his beard and pondered this 'deep' question.
"Teach and Learn, Pray and Turn!", the Rebbe exclaimed.
The Method
We have all spent too many hours listening to Rabbi Hanan go hanan and on an on about making becoming better people by making the world a better place.
.... and making the world a better place by being better people that through some miracle we have been changed. None of us are ordained Rabbis.
All of us have listened to the logic of how Rabbi Hanan sees the structure of the service. We make a sincere effort to follow his template while always bringing only ourselves, what is real for us in the now.
Rabbi Hanan will do us the honor of attending the services as he is able. He is not able to actively teach these days, but he still loves to sing and we will do a handful of prayers and songs that he loves.
