Curated Torah sources across every topic, from classical texts to contemporary responsa.
These sources explore the role of inner intention (kavvanah) in Jewish prayer, examining whether conscious focus on the words and awareness of standing before God is required for prayer to be valid. They present a range of perspectives from the obligation of full kavvanah to the post-factum acceptance of prayer lacking intention.
