A Rabbi told his congregation that whoever says the words of "Ana Hashem" with all his heart and soul, will have all his wishes granted. The people were excited, but came back to ask him whether it was the phrase, "Ana Hashem hoshia na – Please, Hashem, save us" or "Ana Hashem hatzlicha na - grant us success"?The rabbi smiled and said, "I was referring to "Ana Hashem ki ani avdecha – Please, Hashem, for I am Your servant!"

A short, inspiring anecdote about a rabbi teaching his congregation the true meaning and power of reciting Ana Hashem as a devoted servant of God.
