Reply To: Inaccurate things we learned as kids

Mod42 that is actually something I was taught inr ecent years. We all would do a version of “Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh,” at the end of Shemonah Esrai after bowing to the right, left, and front, and no one knew why. We just did it. The three steps back and then three forward at the beginning of the davening, we were taught, was that in order to approach Hashem kivyachol, we had to first take three steps back, then go forward.
