Question
Hello Rabbi, When should a person have intention when pronouncing the Name of God, in the Amidah? In a blessing? When reading each verse?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
The obligation to have intention is present with every pronouncement of God's Name.
However, during the recitation of the first verse of the Shema, the intention is essential, and thus the intention when pronouncing God's Name is more stringent.
