Tefilah Reexamined: Part 3 - Ramban's Alternative View of Tefilah

Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/20/24), in our NEW Machshavah Lab series for women called "Tefilah Reexamined," we began with a comprehensive review of Parts 1 and 2, then delved into the Ramban's critiques of the Rambam's stance on tefilah. After reading through the Ramban, we compared and contrasted his approach with the Rambam's, which - at this point - seem worlds apart. We concluded by reading the Rav's creative explanation of that machlokess. I say "creative" because I love the idea, but I don't think it's true to the Rambam. Next week, I hope to present an alternative understanding.
