But honestly, if I try to not clockwatch on Rosh Hashona, I find the davening to go quite smoothly and before I know it, it’s over.
I always bring a sefer or even a jewish inspirational book (like Rabbi Krohn’s Maggid books) that I skim through by chazaras hashatz or by the long yoitzros in order to give me a “boost” insted of spacing out.
I always appreciated these thoughtful gentlemen who bring these shmeck tabaks or other smelling b’somim to shul and pass it around for e/1 to enjoy. Davening can be reeeally long, and it’s these little acts of chesed that could make it all worth it!
