Some of the deepest pain a Jewish mother feels is quiet: “I don’t daven like I used to.”
Not because she doesn’t care, but because life is full. Kids. Home. Work. Mental load. A headspace that never fully settles.
In this short, powerful shiur from the Biala Rebbe’s Mevaser Tov, Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David reframe what “real davening” actually is: not only pages, not only a minyan, not only a siddur, but speaking to Hashem in the language of the heart.
Even one simple cry — “Abba… Abba…” — can shake the heavens.
We explore:
- Why the Yetzer Hara convinces women their “simple prayers” don’t count
- How Yehuda’s Vayigash elav teaches “Hashem-conscious” conversation
- The Modzitzer teaching: the ideal tefillah for our generation is like a child who can only say “Abba”
- The wild Midrash where one old woman’s simple request “outworks” an entire public fast
If you’ve ever felt guilt about not davening “properly,” this episode is a breath of truth, and a return to what tefillah always was.
