How might I get a copy of the outline Mrs. Bitton is using? I would greatly enjoy having a copy of this if at all possible. Reply
I cannot express the thanks I have for this series. I have been trying to improve my own davening, and this series helped so much! Reply
I realy enjoy this series on the siddur. Thank you so much Mrs. Bitton. G-D Bless. Reply
I appreciated your emphasis on spiritual joy through prayer and the true purpose being to maintain a relationship with G-d. Having been raised in a Christian home, prayer was a means for parents to scold their children in public on their shortcomings, under the guise of supplication to G-d. I am finally learning to pray again, thanks to you and the other teachings on prayer on this website. Your teaching is a profound blessing and will help me teach my children to pray. Please say more about prayers with your children. I will keep listening. Reply
Excellent Teaching
I found myself laughing, crying and joyous knowing your segment on prayer touched my heart deeply!
Thank you for making the videos available in a public setting for those who want to learn.
Bless You for the excellent class

Per your discourse... ...you probably don't need another "Thank you" for providing this excellent dialogue to us, but I'm adding mine anyway! Reply

Mrs. Bitton,
Thank you so much for this series. They have meant so much to me.
They have helped me grow.
Would you consider posting the handouts? I would like, for example, to have the timeline on the Siddur.

Thank You Thank you Malky for an elaborate discussion on prayer. Indeed we were created to worship G-d and tefilah is the quintessence of our existence. It is so vital because it's through it that we forge that intimate relationship with our maker.May G-d continually bless you with wisdom and the talent to teach. Reply
why pray?
Davening or praying is using words. Yes, you can think and use your mind what you want to say to the Rebbono Shel Olam, but prayer is speaking out to Hashem. Thinking, yes Hashem knows all your thoughts, but prayer is speaking to Hashem.
This shiur is very powerful, it is the key to our survival, Tefillin is what keeps the world alive!
All the best.

Dear Mrs. Bitton,
Today I watched your online presentation on the subject of prayer. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your "virtual online" Torah discussion. I enjoy how you connected ideas. Your class feels comforting to me!
Sincerely,

Oooh, my godness. This peace and tranquility. I spent a lifetime searching for this. I wish I could join the club, but this is not too easy in Germany.
