Real Davvening is about the spiritual side of Jewish prayer-- the traditional teachings about how to pray so that you have a spiritual experience; something happens. This book is for beginners as well as people who have been davvening their whole life. The key insight is to realize that davvening is a form of meditation that is not silent but verbal using textual and personal prayers to focus on the Eternal. Buxbaum explains how to enter a sacred private space and also how to connect deeply with fellow worshippers. Simple Jewish meditation techniques for davvening can lift your praying immeasurably higher until you experience the nearness of God. This book will open the gates before you to one of the most important Jewish spiritual practices: prayer.
As in his monumental work ' Jewish Spiritual Practices' Yitzhak Buxbaum provides help in deepening our connection with Hashem. He teaches how prayer can be made most meaningful. Short but very sweet.

a deceptively short book with a wealth of teaching
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is easy to read and user-friendly. The ideas presented are easily incorporated into any life-style and type of prayer. The author's approach is non-threatening, open-minded, and modern and traditional at the same time. The suggestions are specific, concrete, and well-defined, although the subject matter is highly individual and hardly ever discussed. I recommend it to anyone looking to connect to a higher power through prayer and meditation.
