Update: 2025-11-03
Description
In this enlightening episode, we explore the 12th blessing of the Amida, "V'lamalshinim al tehi tikvah," a powerful prayer that addresses the threats of informers and heretics within the Jewish community. This blessing was not part of the original 18 blessings but was added during a tumultuous period following the destruction of the Second Temple, when internal divisions and external oppression endangered the Jewish people. Crafted by the humble sage Shmuel HaKatan, this prayer emphasizes the importance of preserving Jewish identity and values in the face of challenges. The discussion delves into its historical context, spiritual significance, and how its messages of vigilance and protection remain relevant today, inviting listeners to reflect on their own connections to faith and community.
