This is an AWESOME book!

The title says it all! Portraits of Prayer! The author describes what Tefillah is, and how important it actually is. He vividly describes Tefillah, and the potency of it, with amazing stories and Divrei Torah. And it's extremely well written!!
It certainly took my Tefillah to a whole new level!


I finished the first book, and already bought the second one, which continues on from where he left off. (First book is the beginning of Davening till Yishtabach, Second is Birchas Krias Shema till end of Davening).

I love this book, and I bought Volume 2 as soon as it came out last year. I have recommended it to a few people, all who enjoy it a lot. I know a few rebbeim who use it for the stories in it, even not related to the davening part.

Met the author once. He asked me to bring a copy to Rabbi Berkovits, who he apparently used to meet to learn bchavrusah at a bus stop on Meah Shearim, for seven minutes each day. (When he transferred between buses.)

Heavenwords by Rabbi Eliezer Niehaus is a similar sefer.
Full disclosure: I worked on it, but I don't get any money for copies purchased.

And did you? What did Rabbi Berkovits say about it?

And did you? What did Rabbi Berkovits say about it?

What do you think the Rav would say about it? "Of course I remember him! Wow... such a nice sefer..."

Neil Gorusch and the person who probably really wrote the book has just published "Over Ruled" - a book about how laws are abused to litigate people who really shouldn't be litigated against.
One example quoted is a fisherman who was accused of destroying evidence by throwing undersized fish overboard.

John Yates, a Florida fisherman, was accused of tossing
three purportedly undersize fish overboard, allegedly with
the intent of impeding a federal investigation into his fishing practices. He was convicted for having violated the
Sarbanes Oxley Act. Though intended to regulate the financial industry, the act broadly criminalizes the destruction
not only of records but also of “tangible objects,” including
(the government insisted) fish. The Supreme Court reversed
the conviction by a single vote. That, Justice Gorsuch notes,
was small comfort to a defendant whose livelihood had effectively been destroyed in eight years in litigation

I'm interested in reading it if I can get around to it.
