THE KAVANA FOR THE SHABBOS MORNING SHACHARIS & TORAH READING

From B'yam Darkecha on the Beauty of Shabbos & the Yomim Tovim: R Yossi Michalowicz by R Yossi Michalowicz.

pp. 184 - 190: Why Shabbos morning Tefila takes so much more time. The deeper light that illuminates the Nefesh & Ruach during "Nishmas" & the beginning of the Amida respectively. Hearing the Word of Hashem as it were from Sinai during the Torah reading. We are silent during the Torah reading not merely out of respect; but because we are so excited to hear the illuminating words of Hashem.
