Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 5 Part 2/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What separation between the heart and the erva does the Kitzur ask of a man before he says holy words, and how does the Kitzur want a bracha said? The Kitzur then turns to knowing the bracha, the sharp words of the Sefer Chassidim against brachos said by rote, and the care owed to Hashem's name in speech, curses and writing.

Key points

• When heart and erva see each other, the Kitzur asks for a belt, snug pants or arms across a robe.
• The Sefer Chassidim, quoted in the Kitzur, brings a navi's rebuke of brachos said by habit.
