Prayer in Place of Sacrifice
Question
Hello, in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 98, Halacha 4, Maran writes that since prayer is in place of a sacrifice, it should be like it without mixing in other thoughts. I have 2 questions: 1. By "other thoughts," does Maran also mean thoughts of Torah, as they also interfere, correct? 2. Since Maran mentioned in this law that there should be a state similar to a sacrifice, does this imply that he meant only the Amidah prayer? Am I correct?
Answer
Peace and blessings
Your words are correct.
