The System of Prayer

It takes years to develop a taste for prayer. Prayer is described in our sources as "service of the heart." Service of any sort is difficult for us, and most of us are not attuned enough to our hearts to even understand what service of the heart means. Prayer is a foundational pillar of our religious life. When our sages identified the three things upon which the world stands, one of them is prayer. Prayer is built into the Jewish day. We pray multiple times a day, and we are encouraged to pray even outside the regularly scheduled prayer services. How do we approach this very lofty but distant subject? In this very interesting podcast, recorded with my friend Dan Kullman of the Shema podcast, we explore the system of prayer, the philosophy of prayer, and address many core elements of this service of the heart.
