Image via Wikipedia//A Yemenite Jew at the morning prayerIn Judaism, every word and movement is having a specific sense. The prayer is our best way to communicate with HaShem and by doing it we are not simply ennumerating words but we are (re)creating a special world of devotion through a specific conduct.
For those looking to understand and correct the prayer behavior, they should not miss this book: Gateway to Heaven. Guide to Better Praying. The books is a detailed and careful guide of what we have to do and avoid during prayers, separate on genders, time, with a devoted attention given to words and inner building of the kavanah. It reminded me a lot of a discussion I had about Halakha: it doesn't matter what do you feel about a certain situation, it is important to follow the rationality of the Halakha.
An useful book for all those looking for guidance of their praying life.
