Reply To: questions about davening and answering "amen"

Mik5: The Halachic works talk about Davening a voluntary prayer but we no longer do it as we assume we won’t have proper Kavanah. The Minchah Gedolah/Minchah Ketanah point is interesting and it is far above my place to say anything either way on that. You don’t have to pretend to Daven, you can learn from a Sefer as well (if you’re learning you can even sit down).
