Seems to have been a lot of that going around. But maybe if this unscripted quiet stretch had been part of the day - maybe if this were something that a lot of shuls did, giving a few moments where nothing else specific is being said - it would give people some time to come up with their own, heartfelt, honest and open prayers.<BR/><BR/>Why are we so afraid of the unscripted?LThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375040239139715087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-90091102756130721202007-09-25T00:19:00.000-04:002007-09-25T00:19:00.000-04:00sorry to stick this in but u have a highly inappro...sorry to stick this in but u have a highly inappropriate ad on ur blog.<BR/>I know it isnt ur fault but i would like to point it out to u in the hope that u may be able to do something about itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-51417254057401127352007-09-24T14:30:00.000-04:002007-09-24T14:30:00.000-04:00What a beautiful post.What a beautiful post.PsychoToddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874353280798371891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-66158297439011519292007-09-24T12:21:00.000-04:002007-09-24T12:21:00.000-04:00Beautiful!I don't thinks asking for personal or fa...Beautiful!<BR/>I don't thinks asking for personal or family is "selfish". We ask for lots and lots of self-serving stuff in prayer. Just look at Shemoneh Esrei: knowledge, health, forgiveness, parnossah, gan eiden etc. Although it's in the plural, it is still selfish. But the asking is the point: we are dependent on God and verbalizing that recognition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-61193615318695611462007-09-24T02:13:00.000-04:002007-09-24T02:13:00.000-04:00That's awesome.I remember how I used to daven for ...That's awesome.<BR/><BR/>I remember how I used to daven for an ever-expanding group - direct family, extended, friends, people in shul, etc. - after I finished Shemonei Esrei before I would say Oseh Shalom (hey, why not, I was still finished before everyone else, I had an extra 600 seconds or so). I couldn't do it this year - I had already expended too much energy on a few people, and simply could no longer concentrate, though I was supremely disappointed. It's amazing to be able to do it - Yiasher Kochacha.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-8352581043553352622007-09-23T17:52:00.000-04:002007-09-23T17:52:00.000-04:00I found that really spiritual.
