Heschel’s Wonder-2/28/2022
The Primacy of Inwardness
“Prayer is not for the sake of something else. We pray in order to pray. It is the queen of all commandments. No religious act is performed in which prayer is not present. No other mitzvah (commandment; a sacred act) enters our lives as frequently, as steadily, as the majesty of prayer.”
