Parsha with the Chief: Vayikra - Why We Pray

  • Summary

  • Why do we pray? God already knows our needs so why do we need to ask?

    In this talk, Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein explores this week’s parsha, Vayikra, through the lens of Pirkei Avot — uncovering the structure, tension, and transformative purpose of prayer.

    Prayer is not for God. It is a gift from God — for us.

    Through a deep dive into the Mishnah, the Amidah, and Jewish thought, the Chief shares why our tefillah must contain both form and spirit, structure and soul.

    He explains how prayer doesn’t aim to change God — it comes to change us. And why, even in the most modern, rational world, the yearning to connect with the Creator has never disappeared.

    Listen this powerful shiur on the inner meaning of prayer — and what it can do for your life.
