Did you know? (198)
The (דרכי משה (או"ח צ"ה quotes from the רוקח, the
reason we step forward 3 steps before starting
the שמונה עשרה is because we find the word ויגש
for תפלה in תנ"ך three times.
1) ויגש אברהם - בראשית יח כג
2) ויגש אליו יהודה -בראשית מד יח
3) ויגש אליהו -מלכים א יח לו
Before starting the שמונה עשרה you need
to step forward 3 steps and when concluding
the שמונה עשרה you need to step back 3 steps.
There is no need to step back 3 steps before starting the שמונה עשרה .It is done for practical reason to end up at your original spot.
When stepping backwards 3 steps at the end of שמונה עשרה , the בית יוסף או"ח קכ"ג writes that some say to also step forward 3 steps afterward.
