이사야 1:11 카발라: Sha'arei Kedusha

Prayer: Our sages, of blessed memory, said about prayer,⁶⁸⁷Talmud Bavli, Brachot 6b “These are matters that ascend to the loftiest heights of the world, and yet people treat them as unimportant and insignificant.” You already are aware that prayer is greater than all the sacrificial offerings,⁶⁸⁸Midrash Tanchuma, Vayera 1:6 as it states,⁶⁸⁹Isaiah 1:11 “Why do I need your numerous sacrifices?” The continuation is, “Even if you were to increase your prayers etc.,” indicating that prayer is greater than them all. Just as the sacrificial offerings bring atonement, so likewise, prayer brings atonement for a person’s transgressions.⁶⁹⁰See Talmud Bavli, Brachot 26b In Zohar to Parshat Vayakhel it states,⁶⁹¹Zohar II 201a-b “Serving the Creator in prayer is greater and more precious than all other forms of service, including all the sacrificial offerings.”
