###### Tzava'at HaRivash 32:1
[Tzava'at HaRivash 32:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/32:1)

**צריך לילך ממדריגה למדריגה בתפלה** שלא יפסיד כל כחו בתחלת התפלה רק יתחיל במתון ובאמצע התפלה ידבק בדביקות גדול אז יהי' יכול לומר אפילו במרוצה התיבות של התפלה.

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
It is important to gradually ascend from level to level in prayer,⁵³ so that all your strength is not exhausted at the beginning of your prayers. Rather, begin with moderation, and then, in the middle of your prayers, bond yourself with great adhesion to *HaShem*through the words of prayer. You will then even be able to say the words of prayer quickly, without breaking your bond.

[Tzava'at HaRivash 32:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/32:2)

אע"פ שבתחילת התפלה אינו יכול להתפלל בדביקות מ"מ יאמר התיבות בכוונה גדולה ויחזק א"ע מעט מעט עד שיעזור לו השי"ת להתפלל בדביקות גדול:

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
Even though at the beginning of prayer you cannot pray with such great adhesion to *HaShem*, nevertheless, say the words with great concentration of intention and strengthen yourself little by little, until *HaShem*, blessed is He, will assist you to pray with great adhesion to Him.
