I am trying to develop more facility with the standard prayers. To some extent, this is in service of becoming more observant and feeling more comfortable in shul. (I personally look at it more as seeking mastery of the Jewish tradition that is our heritage, then practicing it to whatever extent.)
I have some time in the car each day, and my (Conservative) shul has a minyan on Zoom around the time of the morning that I’m driving. I had hoped to listen in while in the car and, in doing so, pack the standard minyan prayers into my brain through repetition. But it just doesn’t work well: I’m driving through bad cell areas, I’m joining a little bit late, I don’t have the siddur in front of me, etc.
Is there an audio product or YouTube video that will help me achieve this goal? In my head it’s something like an instructional audio tape that does a few seconds of English explanation before each prayer about what it means and why it falls where it does in the sequence of the service, then chants it in Hebrew, so that you can listen to it over and over and eventually just have a high comfort level with the standard siddur. Basically a “listen to this for a half hour every day and eventually you’ll be proficient in the basic Jewish prayer service.”
