Tefillah

Tefillah is a Hebrew term that means prayer and is a central practice in Jewish tradition. It encompasses both formal, communal prayers, often recited at specific times of the day, and personal, spontaneous prayers. Tefillah is a means of connecting with the divine, expressing gratitude, seeking guidance, and asking for help. The most well-known form is the Amidah, a series of blessings recited during daily prayers. Tefillah reflects a deep spiritual practice, fostering a sense of community and individual contemplation, and it plays a key role in Jewish life and culture.
