Kavanah whilst Davening: Difference between revisions

# If one can pray a lot with Kavana or a little with Kavana, clearly it's better to pray more. However if there are extenuating circumstances and it's not possible to pray a lot with Kavana or one judges that if he prays more he'll pray without Kavana, one should pray less with Kavana rather than more without Kavana and it's considered before Hashem as if one prayed a lot with Kavana. <ref> Tur and S"A 1:4 write that it's preferable to pray a little with Kavana than to pray a lot without Kavana. Mishna Brurah 1:12 writes that clearly it's preferable to pray more with Kavana than to pray less with Kavana, however the S"A is talking about a case where such isn't possible. Halacha Brurah 1:11 concurs. </ref>

# One should not be doing anything else while reciting a beracha or a [[prayer]] even if he feels it won't mess up his kavana. <ref> Halacha Berura 5:2 </ref>
