Does Kavanah Matter?

Hello Everyone,

For the past three weeks we have been discussing the role of kavanah/intention/awareness in the performance and fulfillment of mitzvot.

Kavanah, its presence or absence, is part of the individual’s subjective experience/ What is it? Was it there? Is my kavanah identical to your kavanah?

These questions are c=very important and today we will see how it has been addressed by some of our greatest thinkers.
