Tefillah
Tefillah (Prayer) is a central part of our lives.
When you call Me and come and pray to Me, I will hear you.
When you seek Me, you will find Me.
if you search for Me with all your heart.
I shall let you find Me, says God.
Jeremiah 29:12–14
When you seek Me, you will find Me.
if you search for Me with all your heart.
I shall let you find Me, says God.
Jeremiah 29:12–14

| Baruch She-a-mar | 30 | H:66 E:67 | 76–78 | 254–256 | “Blessed is He who spoke” The tefillah Baruch Sheamar is the opening prayer of the section of the shacharit service entitled Pesukei Dezimra - “verses of song.” The implication of the title, Pesukei Dezimra is that the reciting of the organized praises of Hashem should potentially launch us into a state of spiritual song. This can only occur if we dedicate time to understanding the prayers and devote enough time to saying them. We need to realize and confront the seriousness of our task. We are approaching the King Of The Universe with praises as we begin Baruch Sheamar. | ||
