9.2 Torah 9 Tehomos Yechasyumu pt 2 of 2

 4.      After discussing how one can overcome impediments (shine the light of truth through the darkness that surrounds him), we discuss how one can use the appropriate vehicle of prayer in light of the fact that he does not know which of the 12 tribes he is from, i.e. which distinct nusach of prayer he should utilize. Specifically this is achieved through binding ones tefillos to the Tzaddik HaDor (see Point 3 above discussing Yaakov Avinu as incorporating the shevatim so as to be able to direct all tefilla appropriately). We also reference ‘Moshe’ and ‘Moshiach.’ It is worthwhile to refer back to Torah 2 (and 7) when learning this Torah.’ 5.      Prayer corresponds to miracles, as one is connected to a reality that transcends ‘nature’. The essence of this relationship is in Eretz Yisroel. The antithesis of this is Mitzrayim (which incorporates the idea of exile, generally) which is incompatible with Eretz Yisorel and prayer, i.e. is stuck within the rules of nature as they are presented in this world (note: this may include science or ‘magic’ of the times).6.
