Which song seems least like a tefillah?
Which song resonates or "speaks" to you?

Hineni Muchan Umezuman
As we near the end of Sefirat Ha-Omer, consider the following:
** What is the purpose of stopping to say the "hineni muchan umezuman" passage before the counting of the Omer, or the "Hineni" before putting on Tallit and Tefillin?
** What is something that you do quickly without thinking much, and what is something you carefully prepare for?
** Saying these extra "kavanot" slows down the service a bit. Do you prefer tefillot that move at a quick pace or go slowly? Why?
