[6] If you want your prayers to be answered 💎 #Torah #shorts

How can you ensure your prayers are heard and gain protection against negative influences? While we often focus on the emotional sincerity of our prayers, there is a physical prerequisite that is essential for every person striving for spiritual growth. In this video, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner discusses the profound importance of physical cleanliness and the practice of ritual hand washing. Drawing upon the insights found in Maaseh Merkavah, Rabbi Lerner explains why even the supernal angels must undergo intense purification before praising the Creator. If spiritual beings require sanctification before approaching the Divine, it follows that we must do the same before engaging in Torah study, prayer, or reciting blessings. The discussion explores the specific circumstances under which one is required to wash their hands, including after using the restroom, getting a haircut, or touching areas of the body that are normally covered. Rabbi Lerner emphasizes that this practice is not merely a formality but a powerful tool to distance oneself from a klipah, a shell of impurity that can lead to deeper spiritual decline. By being diligent in these small acts of purity, a person receives a guarantee of protection from sin. Discover how this simple, daily habit can transform your relationship with the Holy One, blessed be He, and elevate your spiritual life. Why is physical purity necessary for prayer?
