The specific prayer Modeh Ani, however, is not mentioned in the Talmud or Shulchan Aruch, and first appears in the work Seder haYom by the 16th century rabbi Moshe ben Machir. [ 4 ] As this prayer does not include any of the names of God, observant Jews may recite it before washing their hands.
Some also have the custom to read all three paragraphs, along with a whole list of sections from Psalms, Vidui, and other prayers. Altogether this is known as the K'riat Shema she-al ha-mitah or Krias Shema Al Hamita ( Hebrew : קריאת שמע על המטה, Bedtime Shema).
The three prayers date to Babylonia in the 10th or 11th century CE, [17] with the Mi Shebeirach —a Hebrew prayer—being a later addition to the other two, which are in Jewish Babylonian Aramaic. [18] It is derived from a prayer for rain, sharing a logic that as God has previously done a particular thing, so he will again. [19]
The Shehecheyanu berakhah (blessing) (Hebrew: ברכת שהחיינו, "Who has given us life") is a common Jewish prayer to celebrate special occasions. It expresses gratitude to God for new and unusual experiences or possessions. [1] The blessing was recorded in the Talmud [2] over 1500 years ago.
Barechu (Hebrew: ברכו, lit. 'to bless'; may also be transliterated as bar'chu or barekhu) is a part of the Jewish prayer service, functioning as a call to prayer. [1] The wording has its origins in Psalms (134: 1-2, 135: 19-20), but the blessing was standardized later, in the Talmud. [2] [3]
Barukh she'amar (Hebrew: בָּרוּךְ שֶׁאָמַר, romanized: bāruḵ šeʾāmar, lit. 'Blessed is He who said' or other variant English spellings), is the opening blessing to pesukei dezimra, a recitation in the morning prayer in Rabbinic Judaism. As with many texts in Judaism, it takes its name from the opening words of the prayer.
