Arizal: The secret of the twelve gates<\/bdo><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n "There are many differences between the [various] prayer rites, between the Sefardi rite, the Catalan rite, the Ashkenazi rite, and the like. Concerning this matter, my master [the Ari] of blessed memory told me that there are twelve windows in heaven corresponding to the twelve tribes, and that the prayer of each tribe ascends through its own special gate. This is the secret of the twelve gates mentioned at the end of [the book of] Yechezkel. There is no question that if were the prayers of all the tribes the same, there would be no need for twelve windows and gates, each gate having a path of its own. Rather, without a doubt it necessarily follows that because their prayers are different, each and every tribe requires its own gate. For in accordance with the source and root of the souls of that tribe, so must be its prayer rite. It is therefore fitting that each and every individual should maintain the customary liturgical rite of his forefathers. For we do not know who is from this tribe and who from that tribe. And since his forefathers practiced a certain custom, perhaps he is from that tribe for whom this custom is appropriate, and if he comes now and changes it, his prayer may not ascend [to heaven], when it is not offered in accordance with that rite."<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Rabbi Chaim Vital, Shaar ha-Kavanot, Inyan Nusach ha-Tefillah)<\/bdo><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ja que els seus avantpassats van practicar un cert costum, potser sigui que pertanyi a la tribu que segueix aquest costum, i si ara ve i decideix canviar-lo, podria ser que la seva oraci\u00f3 no
