Amidah Analysis: Avos (Part 6) Atoh

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 4 minutesSynopsis: This Friday morning (3/7/25), in our tefilah-focused Machshavah Lab series for women, we resumed our analysis of berachos. After reviewing and slightly expanding upon our explanation of what kavanah to have when we say Hashem's name, we delved into a question that tends to escape the notice of many Jews: that throughout davening and in many berachos, we switch back and forth between talking to Hashem in the 2nd person and referring to Him in the 3rd person. We developed our own answer, then examined answers from three Rishonim. I guarantee that if you learn these ideas and say your berachos with them in mind, you'll have a wild and enlightening experience.-----מקורות:רמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:סארשב"א - שו"ת חלק ה סימן נברבינ בחיי בן אר - שולחן של ארבעמחזור ויטרי - סימן פח-----The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in tribute to the Bibas family.
