In this episode of Tefillah Today, we explore the profound opening lines of Yigdal, the poetic declaration of Jewish faith written over 700 years ago. What does it mean to 'Exalt the Living G-d'? How can finite beings connect with an infinite Creator?

Join us as we uncover the history of Yigdal, its connection to
Maimonides' Thirteen Principles, and its role as a unifying anchor for
Jewish communities through the ages plus more.

Why do our daily tefillos begin with the words of Bilaam, a non-Jewish prophet who sought to harm us? In this episode of Tefillah Today, we uncover the profound message behind Mah Tovu ohalecha Yaakov, mishkenotecha Yisrael. Through the lens of the Anshei Kneses Hagedolah and the timeless story of Bilaam, we explore how these six words serve as a daily charge for Torah-true Jews.

Discover how Mah Tovu reminds us of our kedushah, our role as a light unto the nations, and the spiritual forcefield
