Vaeschanan - The Prayer Within

What this episode covers

Why did Moshe pray 515 times even though Hashem already told him he would not be entering Eretz Yisrael? Why did he choose the type of prayer that was called a 'tachanun'-supplication? Why do some people have the merit for reward, while the great storehouse of 'free reward' is much larger? Why did Moshe at first not even feel the need to pray, and how did Hashem force him, as it were, to wake up and pray? What happens when a person sees that his prayer is flowing? Does this guarantee his prayer will be answered? How does one know if the prayer he is praying was inspired by Hashem? What is the true purpose of prayer? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.
