To whom do we pray?

One of the fundamental tenets of Judaism is that the only one to whom we should make requests, praise, or give thanks is God. It is absolutely forbidden to pray to any of His creatures, whether angels, elements like fire, air, water, or earth, or creatures in general, such as mountains, the heavens, etc.

A su vez, no existe el concepto de intermediarios en el judaísmo, o sea, todo ser humano puede acceder a Di-s en forma directa. De hecho, dice el salmista (Salmo 5:4): «Escucha la voz de mi clamor, mi rey y mi Señor, porque a Ti oraré», y explican nuestros sabios (Talmud Ierushalmi Brajot 9:1): «No ores ni a Mijael, ni a Gavriel, sino ora a Mi y responderé inmediatamente».

Why should we only pray to God? R. Yosef Albo writes:

All kinds of goodness are given by God, blessed be He, and there is nothing else that can bestow absolute goodness upon a creature. This is because true goodness cannot be expected from any existence unless it possesses four qualities:

1. May the giver not change, so that His goodness does not change. The only thing that does not change is God.
2. That the giver does not need the help of others, because if he needs help, his kindness is not certain, and the only thing that exists that does not need the help of anyone is God.
3. Que el dador tenga capacidad de opuestos a la vez, porque de otra manera, el receptor no podría obtener lo que espera en todo momento, porque a veces una persona necesita una cosa, y a veces lo opuesto, y lo único que pueda opuestos es Dios, como está escrito (Ishaia 45:7): «Forma la luz y crea la oscuridad, hace la paz y crea el mal».
4. That there is nothing in the world that can prevent the giver from doing his will, and it is obvious that every creature, except God, God himself can prevent him from fulfilling his will, but there is nothing that can prevent him from doing what he desires.

Sefer HaIkrim discourse 4, chapter 17

Therefore, throughout these proposed prayers, every time we refer to God, we must keep in mind that we are referring to the Creator of everything, Almighty, Omnipresent and Eternal.
