Tefilah Today

1 - The Open Door of Tefilah

Why do we daven? What are we really doing when we pray — and what does it mean to truly stand before Hashem in tefilah?

In this opening episode, Mrs. Baila Yaniv introduces us to the mission of Tefilah Today: to explore the depths of tefilah not with vague inspiration but with clarity, imagination, and Torah. This episode opens the door to a world many of us enter daily — yet rarely pause to examine.

Through Torah sources, including Bereishit, Shemot, and the words of our Nevi’im, we learn how tefilah transforms from rote ritual into dynamic avodah — spiritual service that moves creation forward. From Adam’s first prayer for rain to Avraham’s vision under the stars, from the Mishkan to the Shechinah within — this episode invites listeners to rediscover tefilah as both personal encounter and national covenant.

🔑 Key Themes:

  • The shift from revelation to imagination
  • Dimyon as a sacred tool in Torah
  • Tefilah as activation, not just expression
  • The Mishkan as the architecture of awareness
  • From individuals to a covenantal people
  • This is not just a podcast — it’s a doorway. Step through with us.
