Essence of Kavanah

"prayer without kavanah is like a body without a soul"

Kavanah is what makes tefilah.

In Hebrew, the word for prayer is tefilah

Kavanah is a feeling. It is an inner feeling that makes your tefilot real. Kavanah means that you put your whole heart and soul into each word; you try to please G-d with your prayers. Kavanah transforms the prayer from the siddur into your own personal tefilah.
