10. Why *Adon Olam* Comes First
July 14, 2025
Episode Description
Adon Olam doesn’t introduce the day — it reorients it.
Before we speak, before we ask, this tefillah declares:
Hashem ruled before anything existed.
In this episode, we explore why Adon Olam is placed at the very beginning of the day — and how it offers a foundation, not just a phrase. It invites us to start from presence, not pressure.
“You’re not holding the world.
You’re stepping into one already held — by Hashem.”
