Warning: This shiur may harm your prayer. Listen at your own risk!

Rabbi Triebitz continues with chapter 59 of Moreh Nevuchim and addresses the fundamental issue of how to pray to a G-d who cannot be described or thought about. How are we supposed to relate to the G-d of negative theology.

The answers that the Rambam gives are interesting and surprising.
