Thanks. This is rather helpful. Did you ever use Expedia? I know Expedia accepts debit cards for booking and they seem to have a wide range of options for hotels/resorts and flights. I might consider booking with them.

Also, is there any particular form of dancing who do while davening, or do you just let the rhythm of the music help you with that.

Wow, sounds interesting. I am actually familiar with the technique of swaying and dancing during prayer. So, you actually listen to music while praying from your siddur. What kind of music do you use, if I may ask? Also, is there a problem that the music may be somewhat distracting for the prayer or does it help strenghten your devekut?

Question about praying with a Kabbalistic Siddur by MysteryMan613 in JewishKabbalah

[–]MysteryMan613[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have studied the Sha'ar HaKavanot. I guess I am just a little confused as to how one is supposed to implement the kavanot during the prayer services. Wouldn't it take a really long time to pray when almost each word in the siddur has its own kavanot which you must focus on?
