Overcoming Folly - Part 33
"Pray it Loud"
With Rabbi Ari Sollish
(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on September 19, 2021)
Jewish law is clear on the matter: there's no need to shout when praying to G-d. That's because G-d hears all prayers. To shout would indicate that we believe that G-d cannot hear unless we raise our voice -- which is simply not true.
But there's an exception to this rule. Once a year, we are permitted -- and even encouraged -- to raise our voice and pray it loud and proud. The typical concern goes out the window, outweighed by an overriding consideration. With all respect we say to G-d: You don't need us to shout, but we do!
In this special pre-Sukkot edition of Kabbalah & Coffee, we explore the deeper meaning of prayer and the power of raising our voice. As we see, how we say is as essential as what we say.
