The Tradition of Hebrew Prayer

Our sages spoke about the importance of praying in Hebrew. They taught that even though permission was granted to pray in other languages, it was always favored to pray in "Leshon Hakodesh" (the Holy Tongue). In numerous writings since the Biblical era, the Holy Tongue has been known as a reference to the divine spiritual language - Hebrew.

The sages taught that it is better to pray in Hebrew, even if the praying person does not understand the words. An ancient "Masoret" (tradition) teaches us that the Hebrew alphabet existed prior to the creation of the world, and that God used the twenty-two Hebrew letters as raw material for the creation.
