Reply To: Texting during davening

Firstly, I thought we were going to keep this thread about halacha, not judging people.

Secondly: To those who say I should think about the fact that I’m talking to a king: How has that worked for you? Do you really feel like you’re talking to a king? No.

You know why not? Because we’re human, and we don’t see no king.

So maybe a way to work to improve all aspects of davening is to realize I’m talking to a king. But you can’t have that surprise that how could I want to text and don’t I realize I’m talking to a king.

(P.S. My 5 year old niece learned a song in school that “When you daven your talking to a king…” My brother asked her what a king is. She said “It’s a kind of person.” So basically she is worshiping avoda zara because she thinks she davens to a kind of person called a king. But it’s ok, because I’m sure she doesn’t know what daven is either, besides that you sing fun songs.)
