In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Dr. Debbie Stone, an educator of young people, about how she teaches prayer.

We also speak with David’s dear friend Brad Greenbaum about the experience of prayer in serious times of need—and with Rabbi Yaakov Glasser about how he helps people who are struggling in their spiritual lives.

In this episode we discuss:

What did Debbie learn about our relationship with prayer in the process of creating a siddur for teenagers?
How can educators better accommodate for the discomfort with tefillah often felt by newcomers?
What is the role of “real estate” in prayer?

Tune in to hear a conversation about all that goes into cultivating a practice of thankfulness within our communities.

She received her Doctorate in Education from Yeshiva University’s Azrieli Graduate School.
