[Avodah] kavanah in tefila

[Ben Waxman]

Rav Re'em Hacohen wrote this week a short article on kavana in tefila. After going through the normal sources he has two concluding remarks:

  a.. Despite what the Rishonim wrote (about our lack of kavana today) many great gedolim did delve into the issue of kavana in tefila and its importance. Those who did this obviously held that it is possible to succeed in having kavana.
  b.. We can ask the following: in a generation where so many people delve into issues of self awareness (in prayer and in other areas), perhaps it is time to return to the din of the Gemara. If someone can pray with kavana, then perhaps he should repeat his tefila if he failed to do so (perhaps the Rema was not talking about our generation).
