DavenSpot
An initiative of the Lookstein Center for Jewish Education in the Diaspora - DavenSpot aims to create a platform for educators who are instigating dynamic energy to school prayer. The ultimate question here is how do we teach people to daven and how can we evaluate our progress.

Hope for Tefilla
Read this excellent post by Joe Hirsch - the best new approach to Tefilla might just be a re-approach of what we already know.

Buying Your Time with Hashem
Great call out by Rabbi

in Fifty Years campaign, who tweeted, "I challenge Kupat ha'ir to
prove that a single gadol saw, let alone approved, this horrible ad." Check it out!

Can We Change the System?
Fascinating article on eJewishPhilanthropy, "The Religion You Don't Believe in I Don't Believe in Either" by Dr. Phil Robinson in response to the Pew Study. He raises great points, especially about the nature of teaching religion vs. religious behavior (isn't it really about the pursuit of the sublime).
My question is with regard to the present institutional infrastructure - can they really change to the times?

Famous People's Prayers
I came across to diversely different celebrity davening stories.
One is actually the creation of a new prayer for B'reishit by the actor of How I Met Your Mother, Josh Randor, who published it on reformjudaism.org.
The other finding was about celebrities actually davening. Apparently Natalie Portman was star struck in shul and had a hard time concentrating. Good to know we aren't the only ones.
