Judaism 2.0 – Using Technology to Enhance Worship and Build Community
Visual T’filah is a way to enhance prayer and assist worshipers in finding new or deeper meaning in prayers. It utilizes contemporary technology, including but not limited to digital projectors and screens, to display liturgy for the community intermingled with art and other visual imagery.
Visual T’filah is not just “a PowerPoint service”; it is reaching back into our history and tradition, drawing forth elements that were sacrificed when new technologies for sacred text containers were adopted and the prevailing conditions demanded change. Visual T’filah allows the reintroduction of important values of prayer such as integrating art and visual awe as well as liturgical creativity and dynamic prayer experiences.
Rabbi Daniel Medwin, MAHL (Master of Arts in Hebrew Literature), MAJE (Master of Arts in Jewish Education), is the Publishing Technology Manager, a position created for him at the CCAR (Central Conference of American Rabbis) and a pioneer in the development of Visual T’filah. He will lead our Friday night service using Visual T’filah and lead us in discussion about Visual T’filah on Saturday.
