A Practical Guide to Davening

Therefore, it is the first step we must take to approach serving Hashem." (Kuntres Toras HaChassidus, p. 8)Did you ever wonder how to make davening the amazing experience we have all heard about?The only way davening can truly enrich our lives and bring us closer to serving Hashem throughout the day is if we work on it in a planned-out, orderly fashion.
