Rabbi Hanan and Barbara Balk of Cincinnati, Ohio launched the Ed and Rita Balk (z”l) YU Tefillah Platform in memory of his parents.
Beautiful tefillah and Jewish music were important elements in the spiritual lives of the Balks and their extended family with many still involved in music today.
This platform is an authentic and meaningful contribution to the Balk legacy, established on the occasion of Ed Balk’s first yahrzeit.
This new dedicated home for tefillah brings together thoughtful, inspiring content, organized by topic and series, to deepen the understanding and experience of prayer and music.
A repository of online classes, articles and recordings on Jewish prayers are available. Featured selections will rotate throughout the year, offering fresh insights and enduring wisdom.
