Timeless Wisdom: Why Pray?

About this episode

On Today's Show: In this episode of Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager, Dennis explores the importance of prayer in Judaism. He delves into the four types of prayer, highlighting the problematic nature of petitionary prayer, where individuals pray for specific outcomes. Dennis emphasizes that Jewish prayer is meant to affect the person making the prayer, not God. He discusses the significance of praise, affirming the Jewish purpose, and gratitude, which he believes is the single greatest part of Jewish prayer. Dennis also touches on the concept of Yom Kippur and the importance of living a life that prepares one for the "bitterness of the decree."
