{"product_id":"9789655241518","title":"Ohr HaShachar: Torah, Kabbalah and Consciousness in the Daily Morning Blessings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe theme of renewed life and consciousness expressed in the morning blessings is both timeless and universal. Yet inside the words of \u003ci\u003eModeh Ani\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNetilat Yadayim\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAsher Yatzar\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eElokai Neshama\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBirchot HaTorah\u003c\/i\u003e, and the 15 blessings of Birchot HaShachar are concepts whose full richness and subtlety are not captured by conventional English translations and require elucidation in order to be adequately understood. \u003ci\u003eOhr HaShachar\u003c\/i\u003e takes us on a journey through the morning blessings in search of greater clarity and depth, opening up the worlds that lie within the words. What do we mean by the word \u003ci\u003emodeh\u003c\/i\u003e? What does the term \u003ci\u003ebaruch\u003c\/i\u003e really imply? What is the elusive \u003ci\u003ekedusha\u003c\/i\u003e to which the phrase \u003ci\u003easher kideshanu\u003c\/i\u003e refers? Along the way, ideas such as \u003ci\u003etzadik v’ra lo\u003c\/i\u003e and the story of Iyov, the Creation and Garden of Eden narratives, and many more central themes within Torah and Kabbalah are examined. The result is that the words recited each morning are infused with new meaning and contemporary relevance. \u003ci\u003eOhr HaShachar\u003c\/i\u003e offers fresh insights along with traditional commentary, analysis of larger concepts as well as linguistic nuances within the text, plus dozens of visual diagrams and hundreds of notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urim Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060271759600,"sku":"9789655241518","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789655241518_p0.jpg?v=1763686109","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789655241518","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
