Description

TheYeshiva: This text-based class, the first on a discourse by the Alter Rebbe, Lehavin Einyan Ha’Brachos, Torah Or Bereishis,was presented on Monday, 24 Cheshvan, 5784, November 25, 2024, Parshas Toldos, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY. The class explores why the sages instituted blessings during the Second Temple era. For the first millennia of Jewish history, we did not recite all the berachos/blessings. But when Hashem’s reality became a concept rather than an intuitive reality, the sages introduced blessings.
