Shalom! This video is about Mora Brachot Blessings. The basic building block of Jewish Prayer is a Bracha, a blessing. I am going to just teach you a few of the central ones. The main thing you need to know and I has repeated this another videos are the first six words that are common in virtually every blessing baruch, which means blessed hata, you- masculine, Adonai, the name of God, Eluheiynu, our God, melech, king. Ha o’lam o the univers. Baruch hata Adonai, elohieynu melech ha o’lam. Now, if you are just going to enjoy something and there is no particular mitzvan vout, then you just tag out on what you are enjoying, for example if it is bread, then you say hamotzi l’che min ha aretz. That brings forth bread from the ground. If it is grape juice or wine, then it is the same six word, borei pri hagafen, the creator of the fruit of the vine. If it is an apple form the tree, then anything from a tree it is borei pri ha itz, with those first six words. If it is a vegetable from the ground, the earth, it is borei pri ha adama.
Now, if it is a big good, then it is those first six words borei menay mizonote. If it is a kind of protein and there is no bread involved, then it those first six words Siakol, Neya, Bidvarom. Beforea meal, we ritually wash our hands, now, this is a commandment. So you have to add some words. After you say baruch hata Adonai elohieynu melech ha o’lam, the commandment expression is ahser kitshanu Who sanctified us, let us share kdishanu be all means of all tough from your commandments. Ashira kitshanu beimeds valtav vitsivanu, and commanded us to do what, well to wash your hands.
IT is aoh nutila yudoin If you are converting, then it is al ha tivula. So, any mitzvah would have those words to it. For example if you are putting your tallit on, you would say those other whole expression –a sher -d'sha-nu b'mitz-vo-tav v-tzi-va-nu l'hi-ta-ta yf ba-tzi-tzit. So, those are a lot of and if you are fulfilling a mitzvah for sitting in the sokah and the hall way of sokah it is baruch hata Adonai elohieynu melech ha olam a sher . Now for candles, Friday night, it is all at holy expression of the mitzvah then you say l'had'lik to light neir, candle shel Shabbat. On a festival like Passover the first two nights and the last two night, we count the first or last two nights Shavout nights, rosh hashana, you say instead of l’had’lik nier shel Shabbat, you would say l’had’lik nier shel yum tov.
Two holidays get their own names for Yum kipur, you say l’had’lik nier shel Yum haki purim and for Hannukah it is l’had’lik nier shel Hannukah. Now, whenever you have a joyous occasion, you recite the chakhiano which are the first six words of the blessing baruch hata Adonai elohieynu melech ah o’lam, then you say, chakhiano, veky amino, mehigiano lazman hazeth. Who kept us alive and sanctify us and brought us to this very happy occasion. So, those are a lot if the basic blessings that you should know, some of them are repeated in other videos, but make sure that you know baruch hata Adonai elohieynu melech ah o’lam a sher ki-d'sha-nu b'mitz-vo-tav v-tzi-va-nu and then you really can recite any blessing, you just have to plug in what the particular blessing is.
Remember, if you benefit from something and you do not thank God, the Talmud says, it is like your spilling it. God deserves to be thanked for the goodness of our life and so, we do that for the blessings. Now, in Rosh Hashana and Yum Kipur, we hear the Shofar, the guy blowing the Shofar will say the whole thing and then say l’sh moa kh’l Shofar. To hear the sound of the Shofar when you are getting in a lead of the Torah and one of my first videos are that tells you the blessing mher.
