Avos 2:13 - Shema, Tefilah, and Bad Self-Image

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 39 minutesSynopsis: Last night (9/5/24), in our first Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women of the 2024-2025, we took up a tefilah-related Mishnah from chapter 2, since I've been in tefilah mode all summer and I wanted to share some ideas. If you're looking for an eye-opening perspective on tefilah filled with potential, be sure to listen all the way to the end of the shiur, when we learn the Meiri's interpretation. We picked up lots of other nice insights along away, from the participants in shiur and from the meforshim.-----מקורות:אבות ב:יגרמב"םרבינו יונהמאירירמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות קריאת שמע א:יארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפילה וברכת כהנים ג:א-----The Torah content for the first month of the new school year has been sponsored by the Brevique BrewLid.
