Today I am going to THE-PLACE-WHERE-MY-PRAYERS-ARE-NOT-DISTURBED. Where no Goyim takes me out of my meditation, or causes me to think in a direction that is not the same direction as where my praying takes me to. I am going to a place where everyone is davening all day long, and where constant Hebrew chanting can be heard, and where there are no other sounds, no one chanting different words, no one demanding anything of anyone else, no one deviating from the norm of the praying.
I am going to a place where the only sounds are Hebrew chanting. The only words heard are words like chesed which means lovingkindness. I am going to a place where no one disturbs my contemplation of these words, these holy words like kedosh, kedosh, kedosh, and where my body can move in sync with these words and rhythmical beat that the Cantor sings out. I am going to the place where I can wear a tefillin and a tallit, to be garbed in majesty, as I call and sing out to G-d to save me, to save us, to help us get through another day, another week and another year.
I am going to the place where I can study Torah all day without disturbances. A place where I can read and re-read, and internalize the great words of the Torah, Prophets, and Writings. A place where I can read the Psalms for the day, and feel protected from talking that is contrary to my beliefs, a place where I can feel my brain in full throttle. A quiet place like a library for Jewish scholars. I am going to a place where my meditation can last all day and where the praying does not stop except when I am getting nourished with food, and not even then, because I would be chanting my before and after dinner blessings.
I am going to a place where G-d is with me all day long and He does not cease His affections even for one moment. I am going to a place where G-d protects me from all evils, from the effects of all disturbances, where I can keep calm in case of adversity, where I can always feel G-d's love.
