About an hour before I was scheduled to give shiur tonight (5/26/22), I received the terrible news that my rebbi - Rabbi Moskowitz (Meir ben Esther Malka) - will no longer be able to continue dialysis. Because I couldn't manage to take my mind off of the imminent implications of this, I decided to do what Rabbi Moskowitz would do in such a situation: give shiur. I chose this topic for its immediate practical relevance. Please pardon any errors or deficiencies in the shiur, whether due to my hasty preparation (I threw this together around 30 minutes before shiur started) or due to my emotional state (which is evident in the first few minutes of shiur). Perhaps some people might deem it inappropriate for me to give a shiur on this topic at this time. I don't care. I am a tefilah teacher, and if there's any right time to give a shiur on this topic, that time is now. ----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפלה וברכת כהנים א:א-ד; ו:ג-דברכות פרק ט משנה גאברבנאל - במדבר טו:לאאבות פרק ה משנה כאברכוף דף ס עמוד אבכור שור שםAri Bleicher, "Tefillat Shav: The Limits of Prayer as a Means to Understanding its Transformative Nature" https://hakirah.org/Vol%2012%20Bleicher.pdfרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות ברכות י:כורמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות אבל יד:א,וספר החינוך מצוה תקיב"How to Say Tehilim for the Sick Without Violating Halacha" https://kolhaseridim.blogspot.com/2017/08/parashas-shoftim-how-to-say-tehilim-for.html----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Alex K.
