[Avodah] Benefits of Davening K'Vosikin

(from Hakhel, who were forwarding as well):
:> THE BENEFITS OF VASIKIN! The following important information is posted

It's very al-menas-leqabel-peras collecting a list of havtachos and
segulos.. There is the stretch from the Rambam onward talking about
how davening haneitz is better, or how one should daven as soon after as
possible. (Which implies kevasiqin is superior, but not actually saying
that.) But the general tenor of the list is about mystical rewards;
even the references to the gemara. I didn't think it would be your speed.

Also, Hakhel pushed my button on a pet peeve. Whomever at Hakhel
writes titles knows diqduq better than whomever sent in about the
poster. (Compare the subject line of this thread'S "K'Vosikin" with the
quoted text's "VASIKIN".)

"Vasikin" describes my grandfather a"h's minyan at the kotel. They were
all vasiqin; the youngest regular was over 80. And davening neitz is AZ,
a form of zoolatry. Wikipedia tells me they worshipped hawks in Etype
(in the form of Horus), Hawaii, Fiji and North Borneo.

The words are "kevasiqin", as a person needn't be vasiq to participate,
and haneitz, with a qamatz under the hei, hif'il -- causing to twinkle.
No "the" there to remove; omitting the "ha-" is just wrong.

Tir'u baTov!
