How to Get Your Prayers Answered (47:25)
When we pray are we informing G-d of a problem and asking Him to fix it? Do we think he doesn’t know about it? The point of tefillah is to want what G-d wants, not to get G-d to want what we want. Rabbi David Aaron shows that the Hebrew word Tefillah comes from the root for imagine or dream. The leader of the prayers in shul is the chazzan; the root means vision

How has Judaism changed for woman in the modern era? It hasn't. This is the question that a journalist asked Miriam Lipskier as she was knee deep in Rosh Hashanah preparations.
