If Tefilah is all about forging a relationship with Hashem and has to be an emotional conversation, how can one be expected to "daven" from a standardized script?

In this weeks upload, Rabbi Stark explores how for one to properly connect through Tefilah, they must feel as though they are "in crisis."

In this weeks Tefilah segment, the Masgiach discuses how Davening is a really "just" an emotional conversation with the Ribono Shel Olam.

In this weeks Tefilah upload, the Mashgiach explains how—while it might not always be so clear to us—there is no such thing as a Tefilah which goes unanswered.

Continuing with the topic of Tefilah, Rabbi Stark discusses how our Tefilos must be directed to Hashem—and Hashem alone.

In this week's FUNDAMENTALS, Rabbi Stark discusses the Rambam's 8th "ikrei emunah," that the Torah—and all that is contained within it—is "min hashamayim" (i.e. - given directly from Hashem with zero interference).

Very often, we discuss learning Torah and its significance in brining us closer to Hashem. However, Tefilah—which is not typically addressed that often—is something which we spend more time on. Thus, Rabbi Stark is discussing Tefilah and its role in our everyday life.

As we are heading into the long, dark Winter (Zman), the seasonal feeling is one of wanting to stay "in" and self reflect. There is a lesson from the feeling the season perpetuates—and Rabbi Stark is here to help us understand what that lesson is.

Sukkos is the only Jewish holiday which has an additional commandment of "simcha." In this week's schmooze, Rabbi Stark discusses this additional mitzvah and its connection with the Yom Tov of Sukkos.

During Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur davening we say that the way to have one's evil decree torn up is through "Tshuvah, Tefilah, and Tzedakah." This means that tshuvah is clearly distinguishable from tefilah and tzedakah. So what, actually, is "tshuvah" and how do we properly do it?
