Kavanah
Kavanah or kavana (also pronounced /kaˈvonə/ by some Ashkenazi Jews) (כַּוָּנָה; in Biblical Hebrew kawwānā), plural kavanot or kavanos, (Intention or "direction of the heart") is the mindset often described as necessary for Jewish rituals (mitzvot).
Once the subject of great debate among medieval commentators, traditional Jewish sources now accept that fulfilling mitzvot without at least minimal kavanah is insufficient.
Different Jewish authorities see various levels of kavanah required for various rituals, and especially for prayer. Some prayerbooks (siddurim) list kavanot for particular prayers. Some particular kavanot are associated with particular holidays, for example Sukkot, Pesach, Shavuot, and others.
Kavanah in prayer may require understanding of the words of prayer, and not merely reciting the sounds. Some perceive this as especially difficult to achieve for many Jews today when they pray using liturgical Hebrew, which many Jews outside of Israel do not understand.
Some kavanot are particular to the tradition of Kabbalah, as a meditation, or in Hasidic Judaism. In Kabbalah, Kavanah often refers to the permutations of the divine name that aim at overcoming the separation of the forces in the Upper World.

Will You Wait For Me
by: KavanaI need to talk with you again, why did you go away?
All our time together just feels like yesterday
I never thought I'd see a single day without you
The things we take for granted, we can sometimes lose
And if I promise not to feel this pain
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
'Cos time will pass me by, maybe I'll never learn to smile
But I know I'll make it through if you wait for me
And all the tears I cry, no matter how I try
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?
Do you remember how it was when we never seemed to care?
The days went by so quickly 'cos I thought you'd always be there
And it's hard to let you go, though I know that I must try
I feel like I've been cheated 'cos we never said goodbye
And if I promise not to feel this pain
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
'Cos time will pass me by, maybe I'll never learn to smile
But I know I'll make it through if you wait for me
And all the tears I cry, no matter how I try
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?
'Cos I miss you so
And I need to know
Will you wait for me?
'Cos time will pass me by, maybe I'll never learn to smile
But I know I'll make it through if you wait for me
And all the tears I cry, no matter how I try
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?
And time will pass me by, maybe I'll never learn to smile
