The Gate of Prayers - Shangar Tephilloth.

The Spanish and Portuguese minhag (custom or musical tradition) is very user-friendly for beginners, as every word is said aloud by the bangal tephillah (Master of Prayer - the Reader).

Here you can find the cycle of prayers and readings according to the music and prayer-book (siddur) used by the Portuguese communities. Download these, and start to learn. A person cannot consider themselves to be a Talmid Haham (Torah Scholar) if they are not a competent Bangal Tephillah.

The Medrash Ets Haim will (as of March 2018 / Adar 5778) be publishing its audio materials on the Medrash Est Haim Patreon page.

Occasional publication of materials to the Medrash EtsHaim Youtube Channel will continue.

If you would like to support the Medrash Ets Haim, you can subscribe to Patreon, and give a regular donation of an amount of your choosing, or give a one-off or regular donation using Paypal.
