My Davening Experience Today
By Tzvi Webb
This morning’s davening was a delightful experience. Here’s why.
By hasgacha protis, I went to Cheder Chabad’s 7.45 AM minyan thinking I would participate in Chaim Dovid Elkind’s donning of tefillin for the first time. When I arrived, I found Rabbi Wolowik strolling around and talking Torah with a few bochurim. I noticed the boys were extremely well-behaved, and as the room began to populate, I slowly realized that the Elkinds were not there. It seems I miscalculated the date and was supposed to be there next week, not this week.
In any event, davening began, prefaced by a heartfelt reading of the HaYom Yom, and soon I realized I was ahead of the minyan. As I slowed down to synch with the minyan, I realized that the slower pace allowed for a much more meaningful davening experience than I usually have. I began to concentrate better on the words and meanings. I also realized that the entire room seemed into the idea of really davening with their hearts as well as their lips. After davening, I went to Rabbis Wolowik and Shusterman to thank them for having such a wonderful cheder and minyan.
Guess what? I got a homework assignment. I was asked to share the experience with the entire community.
I recommend this experience to all, but please make sure we use the Cheder’s geschmakkeit to enhance our Tzemach Tzedek and other minyanim as well.
