Birkoth haShaahar – Classic Shiurim

Editor’s Note: These shiurim are earlier versions of those on the page, “Birkoth haShaahar.” Listen here to review the material and to strengthen your memory and comprehension of the concepts.

If you make these brachot as many people do today, you’re missing what the Talmud had in mind.

Part One: Rav Bar Hayyim explains the purpose and meaning of each bracha.

Part Two: You can – and should – make these brachot before washing your hands. That’s clear from the Rambam and the Talmud. Should you make the brachot all at once, or as you do each action to which each bracha refers? Rav Bar Hayyim explains why some people say these brachot at shul. Should you say the blessing on the rooster even if you haven’t heard it crow?
