Reply To: questions about davening

It is brought down that a person who recites ashrei 3x daily with kavana is guaranteed a share in olam haba. Interrupting to answer amen is not indicative of kavana.

I learned that it is ossur to recite tehillim or other prayers when the chazzan is saying kaddish.

I am Ashkenazi.

Thanks, btguy. Gut shabbos.
