Throughout Scripture, we meet Biblical figures who prayed to the Almighty for all of their needs. Jewish tradition explains that prayer, however, is not meant to "change the mind" of the Almighty. What changes through prayer is us. By recognizing the Source of all of the blessings in our lives, we bring ourselves closer to God and elevate ourselves. This in turn brings down God's mercy upon us. Enrolling in a Biblical Hebrew course, like one offered by the the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, will deepen your understanding of the beauty of the Bible.
