Our Rabbis Rubenstein have noticed that many Jews struggle to find meaning in the traditional Jewish prayer service. Even if they are able to say the prayers, often it is something that is done because one is supposed to with little understanding of the spiritual transformation it should lead one to achieve. On the contrary, the Jewish siddur (prayer book) leads a spiritual practitioner through a vast guided meditation which can rewire the mind and the soul. Our rabbis lead us through a magisterial tour of the siddur, and what each moment of it can offer a dedicated spiritual practitioner. Here is part #1 on the morning blessings.
