Thank you
This has been one of the most wonderful lessons on prayer that I have ever heard. Indeed it is revolutionary. Thank you SO much. I now want to buy a prayer book, the prayerbook that the rabbi has referred to in his talk.

Rabbi Lazer Gurkow.
I was so thankful to our Holy G-d for this wonderful teaching about prayers of the Jews.
I loved to see the bright face of Rabbi Lazer Gurkow. Actually the Glory of the God is seen obviously in his face, just like face of the holy prophet Moses began to shine at Mount Sinai.

So clear and concise
I deeply appreciate this clear and concise outline of Jewish prayer, Rabbi. I've studied the history of traditional prayers before, but your presentation is "sticking" and I know I'll be remembering it because it is simple and makes sense. Thanks so much!
