The Morning Blessings
The daily synagogue service begins with the public recitation of a group of blessings describing regular morning practices. They also include†three blessings distinguishing Jewish men from Gentiles, slaves and women. This lecture will analyze the evolution of these blessings from their private recitation in the home to their prime role as the beginning of the daily service. The opinions of the Rambam, Rashi and the Provencal rabbis will be considered
