In regard to “More Tachanun Please” (February 17, 2022), might I add that Tachanun, especially its physical, body-positioning aspects, follows on from our formal orchestrated requests in Shemoneh Esrei. We then leave the formalities behind and plead with reckless abandon. In fact, Shemoneh Esrei and Tachanun are all one prayer and thus one is prohibited from speaking between them (See Shulchan Aruch 131:1 and especially the Ateret Tzvi there). May all our proper prayers be answered speedily, and in our days.
