Amidah Analysis: Avos (Part 5) "Hashem" and "Baruch"

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 7 minutesSynopsis: This morning (2/21/25), in our tefilah-focused Machshavah Lab series for women, we resumed our analysis of the first berachah of the shemoneh esrei ... well, of ALL berachos! We began by reviewing what we covered last time - namely, what we mean by "Hashem" - which we reinforced with additional sources. We then learned through several sources about the word "Baruch," which we ALMOST finished, but not entirely. Next time (בג"ה), we'll begin with a review and completion of "Baruch," then move onto "Atoh." -----מקורות:גר"א - אדרת אליהו דברים א:וטור - אורח חיים ה:ארמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:סאאבודרהם - ברכות השחררבינו בחיי - כד הקמח: ברכהספר החינוך - פרשת עקב: מצוה ת"לספר העיקרים ב:כו-----The Torah content for the entire month of February has been sponsored by Y.K. with gratitude to Rabbi Schneeweiss for providing a clear and easily accessible path to personal growth via his reliably interesting and inspiring Torah content.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
