Heschel’s Wonder-12/20/2021
Know (or Understand)
To live without prayer is to live without God, to live without a soul. No one is able to think of Him unless he has learned how to pray to Him. For this is the way man learns to think of the true God-of the God of Israel. He first is aware of His presence long before he thinks of His essence. And to pray is to sense His presence.
