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

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

Length: 1 hour 7 minutes
Synopsis: 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."
