Kitzur Yomi #15 – Blessings Require Preparation (Siman 2, Seif 9)

Welcome to Kitzur Yomi — learning the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch one seif at a time.In Episode 15 (Siman 2, Seif 9), we learn why the morning berachos are delayed until after a person takes care of his physical needs.The Kitzur teaches that when we bless Hashem, we do so with our entire being. Therefore, before reciting ברכות, a person should first relieve himself, wash his hands properly, and only then proceed with על נטילת ידים, אשר יצר, ברכות התורה, and אלוקי נשמה.This seif reminds us that Judaism values both spirituality and order. Before we speak to Hashem, we prepare ourselves with dignity and respect.Hosted by Yossi Weinberger.
