Why does Judaism de ne prayer as “the work of the heart”? ese and more questions about prayer are explored through Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein’s ten insightful lessons that can be gleaned from the prayers of biblical men and women, such as Isaac, Jacob, Miriam, Hannah, and King Solomon. As Rabbi Eckstein writes, “Prayer is both mysterious and simple, both beyond the natural and yet the most natural act of all.” rough this study, discover what we can learn from the Jewish perspective on prayer, how we can be inspired by the rich liturgy of traditional Jewish prayers, and how we can harness the power of prayer in our own lives. RABBI YECHIEL ECKSTEIN In 1983, Rabbi Eckstein founded the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews ( e Fellowship), devoting his life to building bridges of understand- ing between Christians and Jews and developing broad support for the state WORK of Israel. He is an internationally respected Bible teacher and acknowledged as the world’s leading Jewish authority on evangelical Christians.
