Going and davening in shul is done at least twice a day. It is so routine that we hardly think about it and treat it as part of our regular schedule. However, with a little thought, we can imbue this whole routine into becoming an uplifting spiritual experience! When walking to shul, each step is part of the mitzva of davening with a minyan. Davening (according to some) is a positive mitzva. Entering a shul with fear, relaising that Hashem’s Shechina resides there. is a positive mitzva.
Let us take Shachris, the morning prayer, as our example. Some have the custom of accepting upon themselves the positive mitzva of loving your friend like yourself and the of judging your friend meritously as well as the negative commandment of not hating your friend in your heart. Then you don your tallis that is a positive mitzva and then put on tefillin that is two positive commandments for the arm and head tefillin. Then there is the positive mitzva of reading the shema. There is a custom of giving tzedoka, charity, into the shul tzedoka box at some point during davening. In the shema itself is an allusion to all ten commandments. Great people during the recital of the shema accept upon themselves to die for Hashem’s Sake, the positive mitzva of Kiddush Hashem. Sometimes, the kohanim duchen and bless the people that is a positive mitzva.
