ASK THE RABBI

AMEN

By RABBI DR. RAYMOND APPLE

Q. Why do we say Amen after certain prayers?

A. From one point of view, saying Amen shows that we care.

When you hear a statement of fact or opinion and are concerned enough to say Amen, you are not indifferent or apathetic.You know there are some things which are right and some which are wrong, and you have the courage to endorse the right thing even when it makes you unpopular.
