The one who chooses songs of praise
B.E.
peace,
Why does God want people to pray to Him? As I understand it, you claim that there is no active providence from God in our time. I don’t completely agree with that, but still.
Anyway, what is the idea of praise and thanksgiving? And the rest of the prayer order that is not requests and supplications.
I didn’t understand your question. If God is not involved, the problem is mainly with confessions and requests, and you are asking about the rest?
The praises will be explained as you explain them. And I explained the confessions in the second book in the trilogy (this is not a confession of contemporary involvement but of creation itself).
I'm asking specifically about the rest because I don't understand the rest.
Why pray if God intervenes is very understandable to me. And the fact that you believe otherwise is not what bothers me. Or it doesn't bother me why they fixed it.
But I'm looking for an explanation why all the praises are needed, and as they say in the praise of the one who chooses the songs of Zimra?
Apparently, he could have chosen not to. I thought that maybe it's for ourselves to remember God, the Holy One, as we bless in the blessings of dawn, that we understand that we could have been non-existent and therefore, thanks to the blessings of dawn, we remember God, the Holy One, etc. But saying that about the whole prayer (verses of Zimra, etc.) sounds a bit pushy to me.
I didn't understand anything. No side comments about my method or anything, what are you asking?
Okay, the question is very simple, what is the purpose of all the parts of the prayer that are “strictly kosher” according to your opinion.
For example, the verses of the Zimra, which to me feel very long if you try to even just interpret the words in them. Or some of the blessings before and after the Kash Kadushah, the Dasdra, the Song of the Day, and the Blowing of Incense, etc.
What is the purpose of God Almighty in His world that He should be praised and chosen and so on?
Why do you think they are kosher according to my system? In my opinion, it is long and unnecessary. But the length is not an issue here.
To your question, it was not God who chose this, but the Sages who fixed the prayer. I assume that in their opinion it is important for us to praise Him as part of our service to Him (recognition of His greatness and power and our dependence on Him, and gratitude).
In fact, then, is the purpose of prayer on our subjective psychological level? To “correct” us (so that we remember God) and not Him and nothing else?
I thought about it, but the length of the prayer made me feel that this claim was somewhat unreasonable..
