Question:
How much time should we spend on tefillah and how much on hisbodedus?
Answer:
Tefillah is our collective relationship with Hashem, whereas hisbodedus is one’s personal connection with Hashem. We need both aspects of our life. Therefore, the three tefillos we daven each day are not enough, and neither is hisbodedus enough. Through tefillah we can integrate with the collective unit of the Jewish people and through that we connect to Hashem; through hisbodedus, one brings his soul to have a personal connection with Hashem.
