30 PASSES
TEFILAH - PRAYER
Gnomen 1 - Our Creator, Blessed is He and Blessed is His name forever, has no need for mankind’s prayers nor has He need for anything in all His creation, for in Him nothing
is lacking that it need be fulfilled in Him. God, Almighty is not greatened or lessened by our prayers
or by our service to Him in any way. For us is the privilege and the
benefit in serving Him and in praying to Him by day
and by night.
Gnomen 2 - We need prayer, not the Lord, our God. We need help. We need His blessing. To us, mankind, has been given the privilege to call to Him, to praise Him and to beseech of Him to answer
to our requests. We have need of His protection and His salvation
and His intervention when danger assails us. It is we who have need to
feel His closeness and His Presence. It is we who
have to gain from Him, not He from us.
Gnomen 3 - Is there a greater
privilege than that of communication with the Lord, our God, the Creator of the universe! We speak out our hearts and He hears the
prayer of every mouth, every person who calls to Him
sincerely. Before we pray and even without prayer, He knows our
needs and our desires infinitely better than we ourselves. Nevertheless, He listens to our every prayer and He answers to our heart and He does with us what is best for us. The Lord of Hosts loves our prayers to Him. He loves that we use this privilege for our
sake.
Gnomen 4 - From the beginning, EL SHADDAI desired that mankind come to merit to communicate with Him. Therefore He gave over the first language to Adam, teaching
him how to communicate verbally with the Creator of all. So eventually
each person would be able to speak out his heart to God and to
know that he is listened to. ‘What is man that Thou
remembrest him and that Thou hast crowned him slightly lower than the Lord.’ This is the Crown of Prayer, the gift of exalted communication with
the Lord, our God.
Gnomen 5 - In order to speak with
Him, He allowed that names referring to Him be used in calling to Him. From the beginning He revealed
certain names by which He could be called. For, in truth, there is no name
in which God may be contained and He, in His absolute perfection, needs no name. In communicating with mankind, however,
how might they call to Him if He revealed to them no name
in which to be called. Early mankind called Him EL and EL SHADDAI and selected persons knew other names which were
later revealed in the Torah.
Gnomen 6 - The Holy Torah
represents the Great Book of Communication between God Almighty, the Holy One of Israel and His chosen people, Israel, in merit of the promises made by EL SHADDAI to the Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And to Moses, magister
noster, was revealed the most intimate level of communication ever reached between God and man, direct spoken communication, in words that can be written down
and comprehended by all. But all Israel heard the voice of God declaring
the words of the first two commandments. The great importance of the Prophets of Israel
lies in the fact that they represented the continued dialogue between God and Israel. A high and close level of communication between God and Israel, by way of the Prophets (of which there
