Hall of Lost Prayers
Interactive exhibition
2022
Welcome to the Hall of Lost Prayers
In this space, you can find, read, write, evoke, remember, and create personal prayers.
The prayers in the hall do not serve as a replacement or filling in for prayers in prayer books and sacred writings. The prayers in the hall are an invitation to bring holiness into the mundane (and mundane into the holy), to find the divine presence in silent objects, to play in the most serious spaces (and vice versa), to connect to wonder (the sublime)
simply and to give (significantly more) space to prayers in our lives.
Presented among others at...
Yad Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, The Convention of Traditions 2022
