Yesod VeShoresh HaAvodah Vol. 3

Discover a Classic Work - And Watch Your Own Tefillos Soar! Of course, we daven. Of course, we say the words. But have you ever wanted to bring authentic passion and fire to your tefillos? Have you ever wanted to truly feel connected to Hashem through your mitzvos, and even through your day-to-day activities? This classic sefer will help. Published close to 250 years ago by Rav Alexander Ziskind of Horodna, Sefer Yesod VeShoresh HaAvodah outlines the kavanos, the intentions we should have before performing any mitzvah. It also brilliantly describes the intensity and kavanos we should have in our prayers, and the deeper meaning of specific tefillos. This volume includes a phrase-by-phrase translation, elucidation, detailed explanatory notes and a summary at the end of each chapter. Each feature has been carefully designed to guide the reader into understanding the sefer's many vital teachings and make the sefer accessible to all. Finally, we can bring the author's passion, fervor and holiness into our own lives, and into our own mitzvos and tefillos, profoundly deepening our connection to prayer and to our Creator.
