The Gates of Prayer

Twelve Talks on Davvenology

By: Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

Narrated by: Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

The Gates of Prayer: Twelve Talks on Davvenology is a collection of talks given by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (better known as Reb Zalman) to a group of students in his home in Boulder, Colorado, in 2009-2010. The talks focus on "davvenology", a term coined by Schachter-Shalomi, meaning "entering deeply into a prayer relationship with God". They not only provide invaluable insight into creating a rich prayer life in a Jewish context, but also serve to illuminate the spiritual path more generally. We hope you are nourished by these intimate teachings from one of the great spiritual masters of the 21st century.
