Many have the custom to recite a short prayer known as Leshem Yichud before every Mitzvah, prayer, and Torah learning.
- Some say that it is not obligatory, and, in fact, the Noda BeYehudah took serious issue with reciting Leshem Yichud.[1] Nevertheless, one who can focus more intently on what he is doing by reciting Leshem Yichud prior to the action or prayer should do so.[2]
- One should be careful not to pronounce or even spell out the Shem Havaya in the text of the Leshem Yichud.[3]
