How much does a person really pray? What is the shoresh of the word tefillah? The shoresh of the word tefillah is petil, a candle that has a wick. That small wick where it burns, it's made up of a few strings attached together. So tefillah comes from the shoresh of the word petil, which is a few strings strung together into one piece. Says the Ari zal, when a person is when a person prays to Hashem, what is the point of davening? The point of davening is to become one with Hakadosh Baruchu, one with Hashem. Tefillah comes from the word of petil, which is one of a few strings attached together. The point of tefillah is to connect to Hashem and become one.
