  • The Difference Between Blessing (Bracha) and Prayer (Tefilah)

    The Difference Between Blessing (Bracha) and Prayer (Tefilah)

    1 The Difference between Blessing (bracha) and Prayer (tefilah) What is a Bracha? On the most basic level, a bracha is a means of recognizing the good that God has given to us. As the Talmud2 states, the entire world belongs to God, who created everything, and partaking in His creation without consent would be tantamount to stealing. When we acknowledge that our food comes from God – i.e. we say a bracha – God grants us permission to partake in the world's pleasures. This fulfills the purpose of existence: To recognize God and come close to Him. Once we have been satiated, we again bless God, expressing our appreciation for what He has given us.3 So, first and foremost, a bracha is a "please" and a "thank you" to the Creator for the sustenance and pleasure He has bestowed upon us. The Midrash4 relates that Abraham's tent was pitched in the middle of an intercity highway, and open on all four sides so that any traveler was welcome to a royal feast. Inevitably, at the end of the meal, the grateful guests would want to thank Abraham. "It's not me who you should be thanking," Abraham replied. "God provides our food and sustains us moment by moment. To Him we should give thanks!" Those who balked at the idea of thanking God were offered an alternative: Pay full price for the meal. Considering the high price for a fabulous meal in the desert, Abraham succeeded in inspiring even the skeptics to "give God a try." Source of All Blessing Yet the essence of a bracha goes beyond mere manners.

    Parshas Tazria April 5, 2019 Vol. I, Issue 18 DAVENING MAARIV EARLY Rabbi Yosef Melamed There are three daily prayers that Jews engage in, shacharis in the he says that mincha may only be recited until plag hamincha, one morning, mincha in the afternoon, and maariv at night. In this and a quarter hours before night (see footnote 1). The Gemara article, we will look at the custom in many shuls (synagogues) to concludes that the halacha does not exclusively follow either daven mincha and maariv one after the other. This often entails opinion. As such, one may choose to follow either opinion. davening maariv before halachic nightfall1. What is the halachic Rabeinu Tam explains that according to Rabbi Yehuda, the day, background to this practice? How about the custom to daven for prayer purposes, finishes at plag hamincha. As such, halachic mincha and maariv much earlier in the summer months or at an nighttime begins immediately following plag hamincha. The early Shabbos minyan? Are there any leniencies in this area that mishna is following the Chachamim’s view that halachic nighttime should preferably be avoided? begins at night. However, our custom to pray maariv during The first mishna in the Talmud (Brachos 2a) teaches that the daytime is based on the view of Rabbi Yehuda, that night begins correct time for reciting the nighttime Shema begins at the time immediately following plag hamincha and, as we have seen, one that kohanim who purified themselves from tumah (ritual may follow either opinion. Tosafos ask that this does not fully impurity) are allowed to eat teruma (whose consumption is answer the question; while following Rabbi Yehuda’s opinion can forbidden while in a state of tumah).

The recital of the tefillah is then dealt with on similar lines and its wording is discussed. Because it says: And thou shalt eat and be satisfied and bless. In this case, the debate is over which blessing to recite after consuming one of the seven species, the staple foods of ancient Israel that the rabbis considered to have a special spiritual status because of their association with the Holy Land. In Epstein, I. Chapter Eight, in which, incidental to the discussion of blessings associated with a meal, a list of disputes between Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel with regard to appropriate conduct at a meal and the halakhot of blessings is cited. Moses went and said to Israel: Is Bezalel suitable in your eyes? Give Feedback. Rambam Sefer Ahava , Hilkhot Tefilla ch. Seeing that a gonorrhoeic person who has an emission, although a ritual ablution is useless in his first condition, was yet required by the Rabbis to take one, how much more so a woman who becomes niddah during sexual intercourse, for whom in her first condition a ritual ablution was efficacious! XXII, If, as mentioned above, the halakhic portion directed us from the abstract to the concrete, the direction provided by the aggadic section is from the concrete to the abstract.

"Prayer can be electric and alive! Prayer can touch the soul, burst forth a creative celebration of the spirit and open deep wells of gratitude, longing and praise. Prayer can connect us to our Living Source and to each other, enfolding us in love and praise, wonder and gratitude, awe and thankfulness. Jewish prayer in its essence is soul dialogue and calls us into relationship within and beyond. Through the power of words and melodies both ancient and new, we venture into realms of deep emotion and find longing, sorrow ,joy, hope, wholeness, connection and peace. When guided by skilled leaders of prayer and ritual, our complacency is challenged. We break through outworn assumptions about God and ourselves, and emerge refreshed and inspired to meet the challenges OUr lives offer." (-from the DLTI brochure, by Rabbis Marcia Prager and Shawn Israel Zevit) This Siddur was created as a vehicle to explore how traditional and novel approaches to Jewish prayer can blend, so that the experience of Jewish prayer can be renewed, revitalized and deepened.
  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 118: Hallel Ha-Gadol

    Daf Ditty Pesachim 118: Hallel Ha-Gadol

    Daf Ditty Pesachim 118: Hallel Ha-Gadol Psalm 117, f. 21r in Passover Haggadah, with ritual instructions in French (Bouton Haggadah) Zürich, Braginsky Collection, B315 Expanses, expanses, Expanses divine my soul craves. Confine me not in cages, Of substance or of spirit. My soul soars the expanses of the heavens. Walls of heart and walls of deed Will not contain it. Morality, logic, custom - My soul soars above these, Above all that bears a name, 1 Above all that is exalted and ethereal. I am love-sick - I thirst, I thirst for God, As a deer for water brooks. Rav Kook, Chadarav, p. 391 They pour for him the third cup and he says grace after his meal. The fourth, and he concludes on it the Hallel and says on it the Blessing of the Song. Between these cups he may drink if he chooses, but between the third and the fourth he should not drink. Rabbi Simchah Roth writes:2 1: In the Gemara [Pesachim 117b] we are told that each of the four cups of wine during the Seder is designated for a certain mitzvah. The first is for Kiddush, the second is for the 'telling' (the 'haggadah'), the third is for Grace After Meals, and the fourth is for the Hallel. 2: In the Gemara [Pesachim 118a] a baraita is quoted: On the fourth [cup] he concludes the Hallel and recites the Great Hallel... The Great Hallel is then identified as Psalm 136, which includes the phrase 'for His kindness is everlasting' twenty-six times. (This is the view of Rabbi Tarfon, which is accepted; another view is also quoted in the baraita according to which the Great Hallel is Psalm 23.) More than one reason is offered for the inclusion of Psalm 136; the most appealing is probably that offered by Rabbi Yoĥanan: because God sits in his highest heaven and allocates food for each creature.

This prayer is said silently, by every individual during the morning, afternoon and evening prayers, and is repeated by the Chazzan publicly and collectively in the morning and afternoon. Which makes me wonder – why do we not include a public repetition at Maariv? Or, alternatively, why do we repeat this prayer during the morning and afternoon services? What is the origin for both the repetition in the morning and afternoon, and the lack of repetition in the evening? The answer can be partially found in this week’s torah portion. Immediately before Isaac meets Rebecca, we are told that “Yitzchak Yazah Lasuach Basadeh Lifnot Erev” “Isaac went out to meditate in the field before the evening.” Some of the Rabbis in their commentary ascribe this moment as the origin of the Mincha prayer. This group of Rabbis argues that the daily prayers, the morning shacharit, the afternoon mincha and the nightly maariv, originate with the forefathers: Abraham who prayed in the morning, Isaac who meditated in the afternoon and Jacob who prayed at night. There is a second group of Rabbis who argue that the origin of the prayers is rather in the sacrifices that were made in the Temple. Shacharit is representative of the morning sacrifice which could be brought until midday; Mincha is representative of the afternoon sacrifice which could be brought until evening; and Maariv is representative of the leftovers of those sacrifices which, if not consumed during the day, could be brought at night.
