3rd Berachah of the Amidah: Kedushas ha'Shem (Sanctity of the Name) Exploration Part 3
Show Notes

In tonight's tefilah shiur (1/11/21 at YBT) we revisited the actual text of the berachah. We reviewed what we came up with in Part 1 (since Part 2 focused on the text of the kedushah from Yeshayahu Chapter 6), looked up the remaining pesukim cited by the Abudirham in their original context, and then came up with a theory of a Main Idea for the berachah. I don't want to oversell it, but let me say for myself that it was VERY eye-opening! Completely changed the way I understand the berachah, and - I hope - the way I daven the entire shemoneh esrei. Let me know what you think! There's still some work to be done, but we definitely got the main idea.
