The Prayer of Chavakuk

TefillahTorah learning

A teaching ofChavakuk Hanavi ben Isha Hashunamisחבקוק הנביא

The Gemara teaches that were it not for the prayer of Chavakuk, two Torah scholars would have to cover themselves with a single cloak and learn Torah dressed that way. Rashi explains that this refers to poverty. His prayer was "Hashem, I heard Your report and was afraid; Hashem, revive Your work in the midst of the years."
