In the prayer known as Ata Chonen, writes Dr. Erica Brown, we ask that God offer us a sliver of divine insight that we may gain the clarity we need to make a day's worth of decisions and good judgments. We firm up our minds to be able to problem-solve and manage life’s complexities.
Understand Where It Comes From Prayer Vocabulary Prayer has been the foundation of Jewish ritual and practice for thousands of years, but you may still wonder how and why to say the prayers in the canon. At My Jewish Learning, we invite you to explore the deeper side of prayer. Each week we'll share a unique exploration of a particular Jewish prayer, plus offer background materials and more to enhance your understanding. In the meantime, you can explore all of MJL's prayer resources here.
