If you do the math, we spend around two hours a day davening. In plain language, by the time someone’s reached twenty years old, that’s ten thousand hours they’ve invested in tefillah. What do we have to show for this dedication of our time? Are we davek with Hashem, baalei emunah? Unfortunately, most of us have difficulty connecting.
