Q: Why does congregational prayer often gallop at speeds we cannot keep up with?
A: The great Jewish minds of the past taught us that a person should pray as carefully as if he were counting pearls.
For most people it is difficult to keep the mind from wandering while praying, especially when the service “gallops.” Our masters teach us to proceed at a slower pace. It is better to say fewer prayers with higher devotion than more prayers with a mind fixed on getting the service over and done.
