Adam's Torah
This podcast is recordings from classes given by Adam Sabzevari. There are episodes on the weekly Parasha and the Jewish holidays
There is also a series on the Sefer HaMitzvot, in which we go through the list of the Mitzvot.
We will learn the Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar (“Concise Book of Commandments”), written by Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohen Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim). The book is an abbreviated reworking of the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot that only includes commandments applicable outside of Israel in the post-Temple era. ************************* Podcast Link: https://adamstorah.buzzsprout.com/
Adam's Torah
Positive #7 - To Pray to Hashem Every Day
In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #7, which is to pray to Hashem every day.
The Talmud (Ta'anit 2a) explains that prayer, or tefila, is the service of the heart.
The Rambam explains that there are three components, or building blocks, to prayer:
1) Praises
2) Requests
3) Thanks
Indeed, this is how the main prayer, or tefila, is structured.
When praying, one should clear his or her mind and concentrate on their words. Prayer is a self-reflective exercise, in which we remind ourselves what is most important to us. Furthermore, by making requests of Hashem, we are implicitly acknowledging that our blessings come from God.
