Every Prayer Changes Your Future | Rabbi Rakhmin Dodobayev

Hello everybody. I would like to share a story with you with Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. The whole entire land of all of Israel. Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov decided to make Aliyah, to move to Eretz Israel. With his daughter, with his son-in-law. And when they were traveling on a ship, they came to Istanbul in [music] Turkey. When they stopped in Istanbul in Turkey, happened to be they got robbed by the robbers. And when they got robbed, they were all taken as hostages and they were thrown into the forest. And Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov's son-in-law said, "Rebbe, you're the biggest magician. >> [music] >> You're the biggest Kabbalist. You could pray, you could make any prayers and uh and uh can you say something? Can you do something?" He said, "You know, I forgot everything." So, he said, "Can you say Divrei Torah?" He said, "I I forgot." And then he told his son-in-law, "Can you make a Divrei Torah yourself?" And also and also forgot. And Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov told him, "Then say the letter the alphabet. Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet, Hey, Vav." And when he said that, and he remembered it and all of a sudden the Baal Shem Tov told him, "From those letters, you're going to see a big miracle." And all of a sudden the robbers got caught. They were thrown to the forest. The police came over. They camp They got saved. And the moral of the story is that when we say the prayers, especially yesterday was Tisha B'Av, tomorrow's going to be Shabbat, and soon's going to be Tu B'Av, and then it's going to be Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, on all of those days when we say the prayers, even during the weekdays and Selichot, they're not just simple letters or simple sentences in the prayers, they have a very powerful uh holiness in each word of the Torah. In each prayers that we say, we change our mazal. We change our future. May Hashem accept our prayers from all the letters that we had prayed yesterday and we're praying on Shabbat. From reading the Torah, from reading the prayers, may Hashem accept us and may all be zocheh le'eretz Hakodesh, le'eretz Yisrael. Zechutam yagen aleinu ve'al kol amo Yisrael. Thank you very much.
