The Oruch HaShulchan (eg here) mentions how many words there are in each of the blessings of the weekday Amidah and gives a reason why that number of words is used.
For example for the blessing of T'ka bashofar he says:
ויש בה עשרים תיבות (טור ופרי עץ חיים) כנגד פסוק: "וביום שמחתכם... ותקעתם בחצוצרות...", שיש בו גם כן עשרים תיבות (טור סוף סימן קי"ז).
And there are twenty words corresponding to the possuk “and on the day of your rejoicing .. and you shall blow on the trumpets” which also has 20 words.
Why does the Oruch HaShulchan mention it? Is it somehow advisable to have this in mind when praying?
