Hook: The Holy Art of Pausing
We often think of prayer as a checklist item to be conquered. Maimonides flips this on its head: he argues that prayer requires a "cleared mind." If you are frazzled, distracted, or rushing, you aren't just "imperfect"—you are missing the point. As parents, our lives are a constant storm of "things that bother and distract." The Rambam teaches us that holiness isn't found in ignoring the chaos, but in preparing our hearts to step out of it, even for a moment.
