Standing in Silence

Synthesizing Divinity and Materiality in the Amidah

With Rabbi Ari Sollish

(Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on June 11, 2019)

At the peak of our prayers, we expect to encounter prayers about the soul, G-d, and spirituality -- temporarily abandoning all trivial and mundane matters. This lesson explores the Amidah prayer, the summit of our communion with G-d that, most surprisingly, is built around a series of requests for basic material needs. It offers deep and revolutionary insight into the relationship between G-d, spirituality, and our corporeal lives.
