About this book

HaGaon Rav Joseph B. Soloveitchik states a fundamental Jewish truth: ... the very essence of prayer is the covenantal experience of being together with and talking to God and that the concrete performance such as the recitation of texts represents the technique of implementation of prayer and not prayer itself ("The Lonely Man of Faith," Tradition 7:2, Summer 1965, p. 35).
