Queens Jewish Link
Connecting the Queens Jewish Community Periodically, we will include segments designed to assist us as we seek to raise our tefilos to...
Gadol Adoneinu v’rav koach, lisvunaso ein mispar.
Great is our Lord and abundant in strength, His understanding is beyond calculation.
Moneh mispar la’kochavim, l’chulam sheimos yikra.
He counts the number of the stars, to all of them He assigns names.
HaRofei lishvurei leiv, u’m’chabeish l’atzvosam
He is the Healer of the broken-hearted, and the One Who binds up their wounds (or sorrows).

When it comes to tefilah, many are focused on proper timing as dictated by the Shulchan Aruch. When can we start? When must we finish? Though there is a proper time frame for each of the tefilos, if we consider the question “When is the proper time for tefilah?” the answer might surprise us. The Rambam (Hilchos B’rachos 10:26) states: “A person should always cry out [to Hashem] over future possibilities, asking for mercy.” Therefore, the answer to our question is: ALWAYS. Whenever we have a need, the ideal and epitome is to always ask Hashem for help.
