The Gates that Women Open | The Power of Women's Prayers (5)

Description

Rav Shlomo Katz and the women of Shirat David lean into תפילת נשים (women’s prayer) and the secret of the gates that open through a woman’s heart. Building on כֹּחַ הַהַבְחָנָה (discerning what truly matters) sourced in בִּינָה יְתֵירָה (heightened inner understanding) embedded in the feminine dimension, we trace how the Matriarchs teach us to pray in a way that Heaven receives. With רִבְקָה אִמֵּנוּ (Rivka Imeinu) we revisit “לוֹ וְלֹא לָהּ” (answered to him, not to her) and the Chazal that imply: had she been צַדֶּקֶת בַּת צַדִּיק (righteous-from-righteous), her voice would have been first. With רָחֵל אִמֵּנוּ (Rachel Imeinu) we enter מְבַכָּה, the ongoing tears that Hashem cannot turn away from—“וְשָׁבוּ בָנִים לִגְבוּלָם.” With חַנָּה (Chana) we learn that the foundations of prayer come from a woman who became “וַאֲנִי תְּפִלָּה.” And in the merit of righteous women, the Exodus becomes the root of every redemption. This shiur invites our daughters, sisters, and mothers to trust their inner voice and aim tefillah at the עִקָּר (the essential), so that their tears, words, and presence open gates for all of Am Yisrael. ---------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com Join Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t
