people say yeah I pray every day but uh I don't know I don't connect to it I don't like it well you don't like it because you're probably not praying the right way because if you had a meeting with somebody important a president a king you'd be as excited as possible and as careful as possible with every word that you say whereas in your prayers to Hashem every day three times a day we pray if you're not excited about it if you're not connecting to it there's something missing one of the things we mentioned last week in regards to amida the amida prayer that Jews pray three times a day is of critical importance but what many people don't realize is that the which is when the Kazan repeats the repetition of is not even of lesser importance or equal importance but rather it's of higher importance as there reason writes that during the reader's repetition of the amida all of the mystical rectifications all of the tiim that were accomplished during the silent amida are accomplished again but on a higher level and that's why V writes that the main form of service in our era before mashia is prayer and for this reason the evil inclination makes every effort to prevent us from concentrating on our prayer by sending us all types of distracting people distracting things but this also comes due to the fact as V says to the person's desire to want to know everything who just came in who just rung the Bell whose phone rang who's making that noise outside who's driving a motorcycle at this time of the day who's driving this people want to know everything this is why social media is so successful because people want to know everything about everybody else and forget about them needing to know about themselves
