In this session, we explore the depth of prayer in Judaism as a profound "service of the heart" (avodah she'belav), examining its roots, purpose, and evolution. Join us as we discuss the core components of prayer, such as the Amidah and Shema, and learn about their historical significance and their role in daily Jewish life. We cover how the structured prayers reflect the Temple offerings, how women and men approach prayer obligations, and the significance of personal and communal worship. Gain insights into the traditions surrounding prayer, including the reverence for the Torah, the importance of kavanah (intention), and the balance between formalized and spontaneous prayers. Plus, we discuss practical elements like praying in the direction of Jerusalem and the use of blessings in daily life. This video offers guidance for both beginners and those familiar with Jewish prayer, providing a foundation to engage meaningfully in services at any synagogue worldwide.
