- Q. See questions above. Could a similar reminder be used for telling me to concentrate on the Amida and not divert my mind to extraneous unrelated thoughts and memories, as it often happens to me. (And I bet others would also profit from such reminder). Is that permitted?
A. The answer again would follow the opinions above We must add that placing a written or printed reminder in front of you next to your siddur may even be more effective.
