morning prayer - sodergard - 08-18-2009

Shall a prayer be the first thing we do in the morning?


RE: morning prayer - Director Michael - 08-19-2009

You may say a short prayer of thanks as soon as you wake up in the morning. But you should not mention a name of G-d in your prayers in any language until after you've first used the restroom in the morning (if needed, followed by washing your hands).

There are no set times for Noahides to say their prayers. But it's meritorious to say at least some prayers to
G-d in the morning, before going on to your daily "secular" activities.


morning prayer - Rebekah Lee-Giam Geok Leng - 08-20-2009

I wake up early dawn the first thing I said on my bed is Baruch HaShem that I alive and thank Him for my soul returning to my body. Then I recite or sing "Shema Israel"
Then I read proverb and psalm.

Went to restroom then sit near the window said my prayer and mediation.

One week about 2 to 3 days will leave house to the seaside for reflection and enjoy his creation.

Any view and advice on my daily routine please instruct me.

Shalom !

Just that after you wake up in the morning, you should use the restroom and wash your hands before saying any verses from the Hebrew Bible, and before using a name of G-d in prayer.

B''H

Sh'lom Director Schulman and Academy Rabbis,

Can BN use the Jewish "I give thanks.."- prayer upon awakening or is it preferable to say a personal prayer with a similar meaning? Thanking HaShem, blessed be He, for "returning my soul to my body" would mean that the souls of the Gentiles also undertake a kind of journey while the body is asleep similar to the Jewish souls. Is one to have this intention in mind, or rather just to thank for being alive?

Is there a particular reason for first using the restroom (after awakening), and then praying or can one just wash his/ her hands upon awakening, then pray and then maybe in an hour or more go to the place (assumed there isn't any natural need to do so earlier)?

Best regards and thank you for your time!

Either is permitted.

Either intention is OK.

The reason for first using the restroom only applies if there is a natural need, but that's usually the case after waking up in the morning. For Gentiles, washing the hands before prayer is only called for if the hands are soiled, or after using the restroom.

Hello Everyone,

Yeah.. Prayer must be the first thing that We should do as a first in the morning.
