Are my Tefillos really worth anything?
Does Hashem really listen to me?
Powering up our Tefillos
Hear from some of the greatest thinkers and Mashpiim our generation
With regards to the first riddle I don’t accept your premise
When a woman or child goes normally to market, the husband is already miyaesh on the money, as they will buy or spend as they desire. As contrasted with this woman going to market was a business woman buying wares for resale etc., so husband is not miyaesh on it.
Al derech hatzachos, the first case is like the fellow who’s wife lost the credit card but husband never reported it. Because the ganiff was spending less than his wife!
BTW I’m surprised nobody from Chabad was invited to talk about tfilla, which is taken very seriously in chabad. Learning an hour Chassidus before davening etc. The Alta Rebbe was deliberating if he should travel to Vilna or Meserich. He decided on Mezerich, saying “in Vilna they teach how to learn, and in Mezerich they teach how to daven. “Learning I already know a bit, but davening I know nothing.” Invite rabbi YY !
Ksiva vichasima tova
Gmar Chasima Tova,
It’s all simply “Davening”. and she has very good fluency reading it in Hebrew. I am not the kind of parent who is always blaming schools for things, nor do i deny my wife and i’s role and potential impact, But it is hard to deny that her school is effectively teaching her to Daven without any Kavanah. That is what is being taught. Her class learns a new Tefillah, practices it until they are fluent, often with a song, perhaps a halfhearted attempt at translating it, and once they can rattle it off, they move on to the next Tefillah.
Its wildly confusing to me how we got to this point, where 8 year olds are reinforced in rote davening.
