The Power of Prayer
A time to reflect, celebrate and pay tribute to our Jewish heritage.
Prayer is the spiritual engine of our community at West Suburban Temple Har Zion. It brings joy, inspiration, and unity to our congregation. This connection to the divine strengthens us as human beings and serves to guide us in our daily decisions. By engaging in prayer, we create a spiritual connection with others that bonds us in a shared sense of purpose and belonging. It is a powerful way to express our gratitude for God’s many blessings in our lives.
