Get StartedUnderstanding Adon Olam (Part 4 of 4)
How Do I Get Closer To God?
Rabbi Fohrman continues to explore Hannah’s great paradox that she demonstrates through her prayer. In order to deepen our understanding of both being close to God and being separate from Him, Rabbi Fohrman takes a look at the Adon Olam prayer, and uncovers great insights.
Hannah poured her soul out to God, understanding that He is the source, understanding that there was nothing to hide, that she could bring all of her emotions, even the not pretty ones, into prayer. That is the definition of prayer.
This Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, you are being called upon to pray. Be real, be close. The God of holiness can ask nothing more from you than that.
