Introduction To Prayer
[As promised I will start to put information about prayer on the website.
I will try and translate a few paragraphs a week. I could use an editor so when something is not clear or you see a spelling mistake or grammar error please let me know. When the introduction is finished I will remove this note]
A Man is made in the form [shadow] of G-d. Therefore it is only natural that he would want to communicate with his Creator and prayer is the natural method of communication. In the words of our Early Rabbis [Chazal] a person is called 'mivah' - someone who prays. Even King David said in Psalms 109/4, "I am prayer'. Psychologists (during W.W.W.2) concluded that at the times of distress to pray, thusly a person is called 'the creature that prays'.
Every person spurts out of his mouth and says, 'I wish….' - this comes to show how deeply rooted prayer is planted.
