How do Jews get ready to pray? Every morning Jews warm up with a series of blessings known as the Pesukei D'Zimra. Learn more about this special warm up prayer with Rabbi David Russo of Anshe Emet Synagogue in Chicago.
Pesukei D'Zimra, or in Verses of Song, has been recited for at least 2,000 years. Ancient rabbis even spent one hour warming up before the prayer service begins.
This warm up prayer reminds us of the importance of prayer and that we should first become present before we pour ourselves over in the presence of G-d. Without the warm up, we might not take this whole prayer things as seriously.
Pesukei D'Zimra is part of a Jewish prayer service. To learn more about the structure of a service, check this video out: bimbam.com/jewish-service
