Synopsis: This past Friday morning (3/21/25), in our tefilah-focused Machshavah Lab series for women, we began with a review of the ideas we've learned for each phrase in the first berachah up until now. We re-learned the two explanations of "ha'E-l ha'Gadol ha'Gibor ve'ha'Nora" that we did last time, then learned one more explanation of E-l Elyon, and then began analyzing "gomel chasadim tovim." Since we ended off with some lingering questions, we'll revisit them next them, then move on to the next phrase.

This week's Torah content has been sponsored anonymously. Even I don’t know who the sponsor is, but their money is going to a good cause: purchasing the new edition of the Siddur Otzar ha’Tefilos. People have asked me what the best tefilah resource is—and hands down, it’s this siddur. The only problem is that the original printing was pretty horrendous. I’ve been waiting two decades for it to be reprinted, and it finally has! Now I just need to figure out how to get a copy. Regardless, thank you to the anonymous sponsor for your contribution!
