Peace to the rabbi
I read the books and listen to your classes. I really connect with your philosophical and thought line.
My question is about prayer: Am I someone who accepts your opinion and understands that God does not intervene in the world and therefore the requests in prayer remain unanswered (most cases).
Can I be a public servant in prayer? When most worshippers believe differently and expect a public servant who believes like them in the power of prayer? Isn’t there a problem (plagiarism) here from my perspective?
thanks

I don’t see a problem with that. If you ask sincerely and just don’t think it will be answered, that’s perfectly fine. They think it will be answered, and God will do what is best in His eyes.
It’s true that if you don’t really ask then there’s a problem, but not just for them but for you too. You’re not fulfilling your obligation if you say the words without meaning to (actually meaning the opposite).

Thanks for the answer

I'm having trouble understanding how one can truly ask, even though I understand that God does not intervene in the world and therefore by definition will not answer my request (I am not one of the special righteous who live with special care)

I am still searching with Atzmi for a way to do this ….

I didn't understand the difficulty. You yourself wrote “most cases”. So what's the problem?
