Chapter 6 - The Laws of Blessings (Part 1)

Dec 13, 2021

6:42

LINK FOR TEXT/TRANSLATION FOR CHAPTER 6Please note we are skipping Chapter 5 in this podcast as much of it, like Chapter 4, is not as practical in real life today. Chapter 5 discusses the holiness of prayers/blessings/Torah and that whenever we recite these words we must make sure there is nothing foul-smelling in the vicinity. Before the modern-bathroom (and toilet paper!) we can imagine just how common this may have been and the great lengths Jews went in hygiene in order to be able to study/pray. These laws still do have application when praying in a place with a bad smell or near a baby with a diaper, etc. The chapter also discusses how we can not pray in the presence of someone dressed immodestly.
