When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? A conversation that not only changed the way you think about your life, but also how you choose to live it.

The Amidah prayer is a daily conversation with God that allows us to address our personal and spiritual aspirations while balancing our physical wants and spiritual needs. This volume explores the nineteen berachot of this prayer, revealing the relevance of each one to our own lives.

DMC: The Amidah will empower you to:

• Take active control of your life
• Overcome limiting beliefs about yourself
• Deal with challenges and adversity
• Find fulfillment in your relationships
• Strengthen your connection to God
• Live life with a sense of purpose and optimism

–Rabbi Yitzchak A. Breitowitz, Rav, Kehillat Ohr Somayach

“DMC: The Amidah asks and answers the very questions that trouble so many young adults.”

–Rabbi Leonard A. Matanky, PhD, Dean, Ida Crown Jewish Academy
