Gates of Prayer

In the Torah, the number 10 denotes completion or perfection. For example, the Ten Commandments, in essence, contains the entire Torah.

The Talmud also relates that there are 10 distinct terms for prayer. To better understand these ten terms enables us to tap into these ten diverse capacities, and to access this inner potential allows us to unleash all that prayer has to offer.

Gates of Prayer explores this entire spectrum of prayer by delving into the meaning, significance, and implications that lie at the heart of each of these ten distinct concepts in prayer.

All of Rabbi Shimshon Pincus s treasured titles are culled from the inspiring lectures and classes he delivered, but this exceptional text, Gates of Prayer, is the one volume Rabbi Pincus meticulously authored himself, poring over every word.

It represents a lifetime of learning, reflection, piety, and faith.

Beautifully translated, in accordance with the author s wishes, this magnificent volume stands ready to enrich the daily prayers of us all.
