Hilchot Tefila - Series by Rav David Brofsky
The Gemara (Berakhot 32b) teaches that tefilla requires constant reinforcement. In this course we will trace the the laws of tefilla throughout the day, beginning with the netilat yadayim of the morning, the different sections of shacharit, mincha and ma'ariv, and concluding with keri'at shema al ha-mita. We will learn about the daily tefillot from their sources in the Talmud, through the Rishonim and Acharonim, until the modern day halakhic decisors, weaving together halakhic, conceptual, philosophical and historical analysis.
