Turning Torah Into Tefillah

The Kabbalistic Connection Between Adam, Chava, and Prayer

This episode delves into the Kabbalistic teachings of Rav Nosson, exploring the concept of Adam and Chava as one entity before their separation, and how this metaphor extends to the creation and perception of existence. It discusses how speech (Malchus) is central to creation, as articulated through divine breath and words. The episode further explains the importance of transforming Torah study into prayer (tefillah), emphasizing that Adam's fundamental purpose and, by extension, the Jewish nation's purpose is to daven. It suggests that the ultimate challenge faced by Adam and humanity is to turn divine commandments into heartfelt petitions to Hashem, thus achieving a deeper connection and fulfillment of divine will.
