Question
If one intends for all the names in prayer, he will delay the entire congregation and not start the Amidah with them. Is it preferable not to intend in such a case?
Answer
One should have intention in the blessings and strive to do so even in the rest of the prayer. Those who find it difficult may rely, in pressing circumstances, on the declaration of intent.
