iDaven
USY’s Jewish Recordings Collection
Whether you’re interested in leading a service at your next convention or need a refresher on your favourite ruach song, iDaven is here to help. USY’s Religion/Education newest project, the iDaven project features an extensive collection of Jewish recordings, including tefillot (prayers) and z’mirot (songs), put together exclusively by USYers. Each recording teaches the Hebrew words at a slow, easy-to-follow pace, making you an expert once you’re done. The database is updated regularly with new additions, so be sure to check back often. If you’re interested in contributing to iDaven, e-mail reled@usy.org.
If you are using iDaven to learn how to lead different Tefillot, use this service outline (Matbe’ah Tefillah) as a guide.
