#Amidah

2023-02-02

Well I read through the #Amidah just following the #Hebrew. I occasionally looked at the transliteration to check I wasn’t totally wrong.

It took FOREVER so I hope HaShem is filled with patience… Do the rabbis of the Talmud ever say it’s possible to cause HaShem to fall asleep? 😅

Still, impressed with my progress. No way I could have done that a couple of months ago.

The Imahot (#Matriarchs) in rabbinic #Judaism

Many #siddurim now include the imahot. Especially in the #Amidah. This article explores the importance of the imahot in rabbinic literature. The author argues that adding the matriarchs into the liturgy is not a radical idea but is consistent with a long Jewish tradition that recognized and valued the imahot.

Wonder why non-Orthodox siddurim now have the Imahot in the Amidah? Their importance in traditional Judaism is tremendous. See Who knows four? The Imahot in rabbinic Judaism. By Alvan Kaunfer.

Why should we pray? In Judaism one can see several schools of thought about this: The social approach; Rationalist; Mystical; and Educational. We take a look at these different points of view here
