Kavvana: Directing the Heart in Jewish Prayer

By Seth C. Kadish

The issue of praying with kavvana (meaning or concentration) as opposed to the rote recitation of prayers has been central to the discussion of prayer throughout Jewish history. In this exhaustive study of the topic, Rabbi Seth Kadish gathers and analyzes the wealth of rabbinic teachings and academic studies on the topic of rote versus meaning in Jewish prayer. By gathering into one volume all of the material on this important subject, he has enabled Jews who search for solutions to the problem of rote prayer to have a comprehensive resource for answers.
