Podcasts about Baruch

In some editions of the Siddur, several words are added to the text of Baruch She'amar on Shabbat. However, these additions are incorrect. The text of Baruch She'amar – which, according to tradition, was revealed to the Ansheh Kenesset Ha'gedola (Men of the Great Assembly) on a piece of paper that fell from the heavens – contains precisely 87 words, and this is the exact text that we should recite. There are some editions of the Siddur in which additions for Shabbat appear before Baruch She'amar. One may recite these additions, though he should ensure to have in mind that they are not said as part of Baruch She'amar, but rather comprise a separate text. The custom is to stand during the recitation of Baruch She'amar. However, since standing is required only by force of custom, and not as a strict Halachic obligation, one who is ill or otherwise frail may sit. Our custom is to hold the front two Sisit of the Tallit in our hand during the recitation of Baruch She'amar. This is based on a Kabbalistic teaching mentioned in the Sha'ar Ha'kavanot (a work based on the teachings of Rav Haim Vital, 1542-1620), according to which there is a deep connection between Baruch She'amar and Sisit. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) adds that one should kiss the Sisit upon concluding Baruch She'amar, as an expression of love and affection for the Misva of Sisit. In the phrase "Ha'mehulal Be'feh Amo," there are some who say "Be'fi" instead of "Be'feh." However, this is incorrect. The proper text is "Be'feh." Significantly, the word "Be'feh" in Gematria equals 87 – the number of words in Baruch She'amar. The correct pronunciation of the final word of Baruch She'amar is "Ba'tishbahot," and not "Ba'tushbahot." One who arrives in the synagogue late, and skips Pesukeh De'zimra in order to recite the Amida together with the congregation, does not recite Baruch She'amar afterward. This Beracha is to be recited only before the Amida. (This applies also to Yishtabah, the concluding Beracha of Pesukeh De'zimra.) The first four words of Baruch She'amar are "Baruch She'amar Ve'haya Ha'olam," the first letters of which (Bet, Shin, Vav, Heh) spell the word "Be'shaveh" – "equal." This has been understood as alluding that reciting Baruch She'amar properly earns us rewards equal to the rewards granted to the angels for serving G-d. Moreover, these four words express praise to Hashem for bringing the world into existence – and so reciting this blessing properly helps us tap into G-d's creative powers. So often, we need Hashem to bring us a salvation, to "create" a solution for us. People frequently approach me asking how they can earn something that they so desperately need. One thing we can do is to recite Baruch She'amar properly, slowly, from the Siddur, and with concentration, thinking about how Hashem created the world from sheer nothingness, and in this merit we will, please G-d, be worthy of Him "creating" the solutions that we all need in our lives.

Baruch She'amar – the blessing with which we introduce the Pesukeh De'zimra section of the morning prayer service – begins with a series of phrases that open with the word "Baruch," praising G-d for various qualities. First, we praise Him for pronouncing that the world should come into existence ("Baruch She'amar Ve'haya Ha'olam"). Later, we praise Him for His compassion on the world's inhabitants ("Baruch Merahem Al Ha'beriyot"). There is, however, one phrase in this series which requires some explanation: "Baruch Gozer U'mekayem" – "Blessed is He who decrees and fulfills [the decrees]." It seems that we praise Hashem for carrying out His decrees – even when He issues harsh decrees against someone. We must ask why we give praise to Hashem for this quality. Should we rejoice over G-d's carrying out decrees of punishment? One explanation is that the word "Mekayem" in this phrase refers not to the fulfillment of the decrees, but rather to G-d's sustaining the individual. We give praise to Hashem for the fact that even when He issues a harsh decree against somebody, and brings upon him some sort of hardship or crisis, He is "Mekayem" – He holds the person by the hand, helping him get through this difficult ordeal. Whenever Hashem presents a person with a challenge, He equips him with the strength to overcome the challenge, to past the test that he now faces. We are assured that no matter what we are dealing with, Hashem is "Mekayem" – He is helping us get through it. We thus praise Hashem for mercifully helping people even when they are deserving of hardship, by holding their hand and giving them the strength, fortitude and capabilities they need to persevere.

It is customary to add on every Yom Tob a special chapter of Tehillim associated with that Yom Tob. The chapter is recited immediately after the recitation of "Yosheb Be'seter Elyon," which is one of the chapters of Tehillim added before Baruch She'amar on Shabbat and Yom Tob. This custom is mentioned by the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in Parashat Vayigash, though he notes that the custom among the Kabbalists in Yeshivat Bet-El in Jerusalem was not to add this recitation on Yom Tob. It is reported that many Kabbalists omitted this recitation because the Arizal did not instruct adding a special chapter of Tehillim on Yom Tob. In any event, the accepted custom today is to add this chapter every Yom Tob. There were some communities who recited the chapter in Tehillim (19) "La'menase'ah Mizmor Le'David" before Baruch She'amar on Hol Ha'mo'ed. This was the custom in Yeshivat Bet-El, though the Ben Ish Hai did not follow this practice in Baghdad. The accepted custom is not to add this chapter on Hol Ha'mo'ed. Some Poskim recommend to add this chapter privately on Hol Ha'mo'ed after reciting "La'menase'ah Bi'neginot" before Baruch She'amar, but this is not our community's custom.

What if the Bible you've been reading your whole life is missing critical pieces? What if ancient texts once taught by the Apostles were quietly removed, sidelined, or forgotten? Today, we're diving into a spiritual mystery that's rocked the faith of skeptics and believers alike. Our guest is Matthew McWhorter—a successful attorney, former atheist, and author of Canon Crossfire. When faced with a life-threatening health crisis, Matthew didn't turn to theology—he turned to evidence. What began as an attempt to disprove Christianity became a legal-style investigation into the historical record of Scripture. And what he found will surprise you. From Susanna to Baruch, Wisdom of Solomon to 1 Enoch, these ancient texts were once embraced by early Christians and Jews, even taught by the Apostles themselves. So why were they removed? Who decided what stayed and what was cast out? And what does that mean for our understanding of Jesus, prophecy, and the spiritual war still raging today? Matthew McWhorter joins us to unpack the missing books, the canon controversy, and why he believes every seeker should read what was left out. This isn't just theology—it's a spiritual thriller. Stay tuned. You're about to hear the case for Christianity like you've never heard it before.

The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that the section of Hodu should be recited in the morning immediately following the Korbanot section, which discusses the sacrifices offered each day in the Bet Ha'mikdash. King David established the reading of Hodu during the offering of the daily Tamid sacrifice, and so, in commemoration, we should recite Hodu immediately after we speak of this sacrifice. Furthermore, the Ben Ish Hai writes, the declaration of "Hashem Melech, Hashem Malach, Hashem Yimloch Le'olam Va'ed" should be made soon after the recitation of Hodu. Therefore, if somebody recited the sections of Korbanot and Hodu at home, and then comes to the synagogue, he should repeat Hodu so he can juxtapose this recitation to the pronouncement of "Hashem Melech…" Our custom is to recite Hodu before Baruch She'amar, but the custom among many Ashkenazim is to recite Baruch She'amar first, before Hodu. This sequence is indeed found in a number of ancient Ashkenazic texts of the Siddur. The Maharam Shick (Hungary, 1807-1879) went so far as to say that one who recites Hodu before Baruch She'amar does not fulfill the obligation of Pesukeh De'zimra. He explained that the verses of Hodu express praise for Hashem, which is the function of Pesukeh De'zimra, and so they must be included within the framework of Pesukeh De'zimra, which begins with Baruch She'amar. Later Rabbis disputed this strict position, noting that the Arizal taught that Hodu should be recited before Baruch She'amar. Moreover, even the Ashkenazim recite the chapter of "Aromimcha Hashem Ki Dilitani" before Baruch She'amar, even though that chapter, like Hodu, expresses praise to Hashem. And, several Rishonim wrote explicitly that one should proceed directly from Baruch She'amar to the series of "Haleluya" chapters of Tehillim, such that Hodu must be recited beforehand. Of course, every community should follow the custom that they've received from their forebears. The Arizal taught that every community has its own "gate" through which its prayers ascend to the heavens, and so each community should strictly adhere to its customs. Significantly, however, Hacham Ovadia Yosef cites the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) as stating that prayers that follow the Sephardic custom ascend through all the "gates," and thus an Ashkenazi who wishes to adopt the Sephardic prayer customs may do so. This is evidenced by none other than the Arizal himself, who was an Ashkenazi but decided to adopt the customs of prayer followed by the Sepharadim. Similarly, Rav Natan Adler (Germany, 1741-1800) brought a Rabbi from Turkey to teach him the Sephardic tradition of prayer because he wanted to adopt those customs. Therefore, Hacham Ovadia writes, an Ashkenazi may switch to the Sephardic prayer customs, but a Sephardi may not adopt the Ashkenazic prayer customs. Accordingly, Hacham Ovadia ruled that if a Sephardi prays in an Ashkenazic Minyan, he should not serve as Hazan, as this would require him to recite Baruch She'amar before Hodu. Hacham Ben Sion Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998) maintained that a Sephardi may lead the services according to Ashkenazic custom, but Hacham Ovadia disagreed, and stated that a Sephardi must adhere to the Sephardic custom of reciting Baruch She'amar only after Hodu. If a Sepharadi mistakenly recited Baruch She'amar without first reciting Hodu, and he realized his mistake after completing Baruch She'amar, then he should recite Hodu at that point. This was the ruling of Hacham Ben Sion, and Hacham Ovadia would presumably agree that after the fact, if a person already recited Baruch She'amar, then he can and should still recite Hodu. Summary: Sephardic practice is to recite Hodu before Baruch She'amar, whereas many Ashkenazim have the custom to recite Hodu only after Baruch She'amar. A Sepharadi praying in an Ashkenazic Minyan must adhere to Sephardic practice, and so he should not serve as Hazan, as this would compel him to reverse the order in accordance with Ashkenazic practice. However, if a Sepharadi mistakenly recited Baruch She'amar first, he recites Hodu afterward.

A — About: This passage reflects on God's word to Baruch and Egypt's downfall. God reminds Baruch not to seek great things for himself but to trust Him amid adversity. The Lord also declares judgment upon Egypt, showing that He alone rules over nations and brings justice. B — Best Verse: Jeremiah 45:5 — "And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I will bring adversity on all flesh, says the Lord. But I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go." Jeremiah 46:10 — "For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that He may avenge Himself on His adversaries." C — Calling: We are called to trust in God even when facing hardship. Do not seek self-glory or comfort, but rely on His justice and mercy. Life is His gracious gift. He sustains His people amid adversity and calls them to steadfast faith in Christ.

What would Baruch receive for faithfulness?

For 3 October 2025, Friday of week 26 in Ordinary Time, based on Baruch 1:15-22

A (About): God commands Jeremiah to dictate His words to Baruch, who reads them publicly so the people may repent. The leaders hear, fear the message, and prepare to inform the king. B (Best Verse): Jeremiah 36:3 – "It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may turn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin." C (Calling): We are called to take God's Word seriously, even when it confronts us. We must repent of sin, not shrink from hard truths, and trust in God's mercy through His Word.

This week, we're grabbing hold of the apocrypha with both hands and not letting go! Or is it deuterocanonical? I guess that depends on whose tradition you're looking at. Regardless, it's a weird book and there's a lot of interesting stuff to talk about. Was it written during the exile, as it claims? What insights does it give us into the mindset of the time?

My third podcast with Kurt Hoyer about his archeological work in Israel.  The first extra biblical links to the book of Isaiah have been found.  We talk about Scarabs Seals and Bullae.  Seals are the objects, often rings used to mark a document with the ancient equivalent of a signature, scarabs, can be seals but are usually carved in the shape of a scarab beetle. Scarabs also have names of powerful Egyptian kings on them and were used for good luck charms. (Not really going to talk about scarabs much) Bullae are small dabs of clay that were used to seal documents and other things. They have the impression of the seal on them.  Why care?  Seals and bullae give us attestation of the names of biblical figures. Most recently an official from the court of Josiah, was found in Jerusalem.  Other Biblical names found include. Hezekiah, Jeroboam II, Ahaz, Isaiah, and Baruch, among others.   Link to the st. Anthony Liturgical House where Kurt Hoyer is teaching. https://www.stanthonysliturgicalhouse.org/product-page/bib050-introduction-to-archaeology-for-bible-student-ceu
