This episode is sponsored in memory of Rabbi Eliezer Skaist, HaRav Eliezer Daniel ben HaRav Eliyahu Dovid A"H, by his family.
In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Dovid'l Weinberg—a rabbi, educator, musician, poet, and author—about the wide range of modes and levels of prayer.
Rav Dovid’l speaks with us about how prayer can be our bridge between our lonely place in the world and God’s omnipresence. In this episode we discuss:
- What is the relationship between Creation and prayer?
- How does communication between people relate to our communication with the Divine?
- If it often doesn’t seem to affect very much, why does prayer matter?
Tune in to hear a conversation about how finite humans seek to speak with an infinite God.
Interview begins at 10:24.
