The focal point of this shiur is the Noam Elimelech's famous Tefila Kodem Tefila (The Prayer Before Praying). Rav Katz shares a breathtaking story recorded by the Saba Kadisha of Radoshitz: The Noam Elimelech initially intended to completely rewrite the daily Siddur (prayer book) to make it shorter and easier for struggling, working Jews to concentrate. However, he was visited by unusually tall, mysterious men—the ancient Anshei Knesses Hagedolah (Men of the Great Assembly)—who begged him not to alter their original formulation, prompting him to instead write his powerful preparatory prayer.Rav Shlomo goes line-by-line through this incredible prayer, dissecting our desperate pleas to Hashem to clear our minds, grant us Emuna (faith that Hashem believes in us), and remove the constant barriers the Yetzer Hara places in our way when we try to be holy. The shiur culminates in the beautiful concept of Aderaba—begging Hashem to help us only see the good and the inner virtues of our friends, rather than their flaws-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2y-T1Dmv1GB9IgVcxMmshQx3H-CHDASKsxpNk1MZU8k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNTFj/MWRmZmY1NjQ5Njc0/MDFiNWUwNDczZjY5/OTQ3ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
