Selichos - a Shiur from the Kuntress Artwork

The Tefilah Podcast

My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, and this is the hub for all of my shiurim (classes) on Tefilah (Prayer) and related topics, such as Tehilim (Psalms) and Berachos (Blessings)! The shiurim I upload here are given in a variety of formats with different lengths and intended for different audiences. The common theme which unites all of these shiurim is our focus on strengthening our relationship with Hashem through Avodah she'ba'Lev (Service of the Heart). If you have any questions feel free to email me at rabbischneeweiss at gmail. Thanks for listening!

Length: 1 hour 11 minutes
Synopsis: Last night (9/9/23), at 11:30pm - roughly an hour and a half before the first night of selichos for us Ashkenazim - I gave over one of my favorite short shiur write-ups from L'Mikdach u'l'Michroz b'Mishneh Torah le'ha'Ramba (a.k.a. The Kuntress). The shiur delves into the nature of selichos and how to reap their intended benefits.

Note: because I gave this shiur so late at night, I feel that I must apologize for the lower level of clarity in the responses I gave to the questions that were asked.
