Why does davening sometimes feel mechanical, even when we’re saying the right words?
In this episode of Living With Emunah, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg explains why emunah must come before tefillah. Drawing on Torah sources, lived experience, and real-life stories, this shiur explores what happens when prayer is built on relationship instead of routine.
This is a conversation about foundations, about remembering Who we’re speaking to, why we’re turning to Him, and how faith transforms prayer from obligation into connection.
