0:<\/a>00<\/a>\u00a0Class 003 Introduction Part 03<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

00:51<\/a> Ten questions in the context of Prayer: 1) What does the word Tefilah or \u201cDavening\u201d (i.e. Prayer) mean? 2) Why when we pray we physically facing Jerusalem? 3) Why we need \u201cA Minyan\u201d (10 men)? 4) Why we pray at Shul (synagogue)? 5) Why the Jews \u201cShake and Shakel\u201d move back-and-forth when we pray? 6) Why we have to speak the words when praying, G-d can\u2019t read our thoughts? 7) Isn\u2019t prayer a contradiction to faith? 8) Isn\u2019t prayer selfies, I\u2019m asking for my needs? 9) What is the best way to pray, in Hebrew, or in your own language? 10) What the preparation for prayer?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4:29<\/a> The Baal-Shem-Tov explains the meaning of the passage \u201cAnd the Lord said to Noah \u201cEnter to the Ark\u201d (Genesis 7:1), meaning \u201cEnter into the words of prayers\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6:38<\/a> What does the word Tefilah or \u201cDavening\u201d (i.e. Prayer) means?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6:44<\/a> The root of the word \u201cDavening\u201d (to pray) one source it comes from \u201cinteraction with the divine\u201d another says it comes from the words forefathers, \u201cDa Havohem\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8:04<\/a> The root of the word Tefilah (Prayer) comes from the root word \u201cto connect\u201d. The essence of prayer is to connect. Bringing the subconscious to conscious.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

12:20<\/a> Why when we pray we physically facing Jerusalem? All prayers go through Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

13:45<\/a> Why Jerusalem is referred to in the Torah as \u201c(G-d says:) The place that I will choose\u201d?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

15:02<\/a> Why we need \u201cA Minyan\u201d (10 men)? What\u2019s the source for the ten men (\u201cA Minyan\u201d) requirement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

17:41<\/a> G-d doesn\u2019t reject the prayer of the congregation. Why it\u2019s not the same when praying alone?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

19:02<\/a> Why the congregation is called \u201cTzibur\u201d. What is the meaning of this word and how it helps us with our prayers?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

24:27<\/a> The concept of a \u201cMinyan\u201d is for ten men, the source of the \u201cMinyan\u201d. But why is it just for men? The soul of pryers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

25:48<\/a> The paradox of the \u201cSilent-prayer\u201d the \u201cAmida\u201d, is it personal or a congregational prayer? The congregation doesn\u2019t nullify the individual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

28:13<\/a> What\u2019s unique about the concept of a \u201cMinyan\u201d?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
