Quote of the Day

"What does the Almighty need prayer for? Why did he tell man to pray? Not the Almighty, but man changes through prayer. G-d hearkens to prayer because there is a change in the identity of man. By praying man attains another identity. And by attaining a new identity, the verdict is not applicable anymore to him."

-HaRav Joseph Soloveitchik

    Thanks Reb Joshua, for the quotes. Is there something in oral content when man prays that would motivate G-d to affirm the new idenity. And there seems to have been an old verdict that would be over turned. Or is that a question for Moique and her law backgruond.
