Today in our JPhil class we ended up having a "Dear Abby" discussion about why our davening has not been so amazing, and ways that we can improve it. People suggested really fantastic ideas. If any other Ma'ayanoters have ideas, please send them in and we can post them on the blog!
Here are some ideas that we came up with (they were all great!)
Jennifer Herskowitz: get together with a friend and write down what you think about for each bracha of shmoneh esreh, and then exchange notes
Atara Clark: use tefllah as a way of getting through difficult times (ie-the stresses of the 11th grade workload etc.)
Rebecca Peyser: decide what you want to daven for that day, and you will find that so many parts of davening are actually perfectly matched with what you are davening for
Mrs. Sinensky: take a yellow sticky note and make a list of things that you think will help your tefillah be more meaningful. stick it in your siddur so that you can look at it throughout tefillah.
