Prayer
Question
The Rabbi wrote that prayer does not help, but we are still obligated to pray. The Talmud says, “According to whom do we pray nowadays?” and answers, “According to the one who says that a person is judged every day.” It would seem, apparently, that it is impossible to pray if prayer is not effective.
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. Prayer contains requests. Do you need that Talmudic passage there in order to ask this? Ask: why do I make requests? I have addressed and explained this here more than once. For example, here: https://mikyab.net/%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA/%D7%AA%D7%A4%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%94-16/
