# A bed that’s used for sleeping isn’t considered an interruption between the person davening and the wall, however because some argue on this, one try to strict not to daven in front of a bed used for sleeping if that’s possible. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 90:65 writes that a bed used to sleep on is considered established and not an interruption (based on Bet Yosef) however because some (Bach and Taz) argue that it is an interruption, one should try to avoid Davening in front of a bed used for sleeping if it’s possible. </ref> | # A bed that’s used for sleeping isn’t considered an interruption between the person davening and the wall, however because some argue on this, one try to strict not to daven in front of a bed used for sleeping if that’s possible. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 90:65 writes that a bed used to sleep on is considered established and not an interruption (based on Bet Yosef) however because some (Bach and Taz) argue that it is an interruption, one should try to avoid Davening in front of a bed used for sleeping if it’s possible. </ref> | ||

==Bowing in Shemona Esreh== | |||
# One has to bow until all the vertebrae of the spine protrude. <Ref>In Gemara Brachot 28b, Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Levi says that one should bow to the point that the vertebrae in one’s spine protrude and are visible (according to Rashi D”H SheYitpokeku). This is brought as halacha by the Rif (Brachot 24a), Rosh (Brachot 5:22), Rambam (Tefillah 5:12), Tur 113:4, and S”A 113:4. </ref> | |||
# One shouldn’t just bow one’s body but not one’s head rather one should bow one’s head also (like a reed). <Ref>S”A 113:4 </ref> | |||
# One shouldn’t bow too far to the point that one’s mouth is at the same level as the belt of one’s pants. <Ref>Bet Yosef 113:5 quotes the Hagot Ashurei, Tosfot, Smag, Smak, and Hagot Maimoniot that one shouldn’t bow too far that one’s mouth is at the same level as one’s belt. This is codified in the Tur and S”A 113:5. </ref> | |||
# Someone who is old or sick and can not bow so far should just bow his head and that’s sufficient because it’s evident that he’s wants to bow but is in pain. <Ref>In Gemara Brachot 28b, Rabbi Chanina says that it’s sufficient to bow one’s head for the bowings in Shemona Esreh. Rava limits this to someone who is in pain and would like to bow but is unable to (according to Rashi D”H DeMissar). This is brought as halacha by the Rif (Brachot 24a), Rosh (Brachot 5:22), Rambam (Tefillah 5:12), Tur 113:4, and S”A 113:4. </ref> | |||
# When one bow one should bow quickly at one time and when one stand upright one should do so slowly, one’s head first and then one’s body so that it doesn’t look like it’s a burden upon oneself. <Ref>Tur and Bet Yosef 113:5 quoting the Rav Hai Goan, codified in S”A 113:5. </ref> | |||
