Praying to be able to PRAY | Living with Emunah # 378

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Hashem. You know, Purim is a big day to daven. Purim is a big day that our tefilos get answered. Purim, just like in the original story, Mashiach lo sefek v'ein lo sefek lo, the Baal Shem Tov said that just like the king said to Esther, "What's your request and I'll give it to you." So, the King of Kings, the Melech Malchei Hamlachim, asks, "What's our request?" And he gives it to us. It was true on Purim and true on Shushan Purim. So, do not neglect, don't forfeit the chance to daven from the depths of your being today. First of all, for our brothers and sisters in all of Israel, we'll get back into our text. But before I do all of that, I just want to thank you, Chava, for picking up Living with Emunah last week while I was away. Well-deserved applause. Not to mention the outstanding job she did at the Purim seudah last night and cleaning it all up single-handedly. Um I got a lot of emails from people saying how incredible last week's Living with Emunah shiur was. Some of which said Okay, a second round of applause. Some of which said, "Feel free to stay in Israel. We've uh you know." So, well, actually, because of that feedback, we're going to introduce a new feature, which I decided, why do I have to give the shiur and do the question and answer at the end? So, maybe not every week, but often, we're still negotiating, I'll give the shiur and then you and Chava will do the question and answer. So, stay tuned for this uh They say the couple that teaches Living with Emunah together stays together, so it's good for shalom bayis. Nitzacham. So, thank you. Shushan Purim.
