Davening Divine [Hardcover]

Davening Divine [Hardcover]
A Companion To The Weekly Shabbos Davening
By: Rabbi Ephraim Epstein

Product Description
We learn how to daven early on in our spiritual journey. There’s nothing more heavenly than listening to a first-grade class reciting the Shema Yisrael. It emanates from their hearts, touches our hearts, and no doubt ascends toward G-d’s throne in Heaven.

What happens afterwards? Why is it that when that seven-year-old turns seventeen he no longer has the heartfelt sincerity he had in first grade? What about when he’s twenty-seven, thirty-seven, and forty-seven? Does he attend the early "express minyan" to get him to the train on time? Does he attend a minyan three times a day? Whatever he does, it is likely that his tefillah doesn’t touch him like the Shema Yisrael did in his early years.

Is there anything that can be done to strengthen our tefillah muscles to enhance and enrich our daily encounter with our Creator?

Absolutely! We can advance in our davening skills by doing the following:

Studying the meaning of our prayers
Understanding the order of the services
Noticing the patterns within our prayers
Finding personal inspiration through the medium of our davening
Davening Divine helps readers on their journey of enriching their davening experience with inspiring essays on the Shabbat tefillot. With insights from a wide variety of commentaries, this davening companion brings to more meaningful prayer, strengthening the desire for and the commitment to heavenly and heartfelt tefillah.
