Reply To: Crazy Speed At Parts Of Davening Blow My Mind

Yes, there is an inyan to make sure that you do not miss a word of pitom haktores because when they would burn the incense in the beis hamikdash, if one ingredient was missing, that person gets the death penalty (as stated in that same pitom haktores for those who say it slow enough to know)

Since we have prayer in place of karbanos,by missing a word in a sense it is similar.

This is why ashkinazic minhag is to skip it altogether only saying it on days when we have more time like shabbos and yom tov.

It is sickening that in so many places it is read at supersonic speed. Why sickening? because the whole reason in the first place that it was pushed off to shabbos was because there is less of a rush so it can be said properly. Rushing through it goes against the whole thing and can chs vshalom cause danger. Who knows if someone was in a dangerous situation and missing one word weighed down the scales in heaven…. after all it does say it can cause this.

What are you gonna do??
