Tefilla: Creating Dialogue with Hashem

A Gem From Rav Reuven Leuchter's Latest--Taking on the Kiruv Establishment Mentality About Emuna.Rav Reuven Leuchter, a leading expositor of mussar and hashkafa who is teaching in one of the world's leading kiruv training programs, and engages in front-line kiruv himself, has published a small sefer (only 120 pages) in English on Tefila.Although the sefer's approach to teffila is at the same time novel and intuitive, I find that its true uniqueness lies in its ability to render a complex and often esoteric sefer like the Nefesh Hachayim into a guide for practical avodah. There are many surprises in this sefer, but the one that I feel has should have the greatest impact is how it addresses the role of emunah in Tefilah. To my great satisfaction, it plots out a definitive approach to how one builds emunah in general.Reading the book is easy. All the concepts flow together and weave a grand tapestry. The implementation is where all the work lies, but at least the book gives you all the perspective and practical tools you need to actually do the avodah she'bilev.(review by Dovid Kornreich (Dr. Jekyll)
