Avodah/Devotion First Building Block (click here to learn more about the Avodah Building Block)

At the kickoff working session for the Avodah Building Block, participants in men's and women's sessions candidly discussed the challenges of staying focused with kavanah (focus/intention), during teffillah (prayer). Feedback was great from the workshop-style session, which captured from the engaged group a series of challenges they encountered during teffillah, and by doing so began to make these distractions conscious, so they could make clear choices to refocus and enhance their davening.
