Study of the siddur itself should enable us to reach a concept of genuine prayer without having to reach such a crisis. |
As I return my siddur to the seat-pocket in front of me, I reflect on the prayers, just completed. |
On Sarah Apel's fifth birthday, her grandfather Jacob presented her with an olivewood-covered siddur. |
She could not forget her father's insistence to always pray from a siddur unless there were extenuating circumstances. |
His handwritten copy is now falling pieces even though it's kept folded up in the siddur. |
Now I realize how much I am missing out by not understanding my prayers from my siddur. |
