Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
Birkot Ha'shahar – When, Where, and in Which Position?

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour

Halacha allows one to recite the Birkot Ha'shahar (morning blessings) either standing or sitting. Strictly speaking, there is no preference, and one should therefore recite the Berachot in whichever position lends itself to greater Kavana (concentration). Rav Haim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1868), in his Kaf Ha'haim, writes that one should preferably recite the Berachot while seated, as one is generally better able to concentrate and focus while sitting. Certainly, one should not recite the Birkot Ha'shahar while walking about, or while being involved in some other activity. The Ashkenazim have the practice of reciting Birkot Ha'shahar in the synagogue. In fact, the morning prayer service in Ashkenazic synagogues begins with the Hazan reciting the morning Berachot. The advantage of this custom is that it offers the congregation the opportunity to answer "Amen" to all these Berachot. The Sadikim teach that one should endeavor to answer "Amen" ninety times over the course of the day. Just as Halacha requires reciting one hundred Berachot each day, there is a tradition that we should strive for ninety "Amen" responses every day. Some have explained that the four letters that form the word "Sadik" – Sadi, Dalet, Yod, and Kuf – have the numerical values of 90, 4, 10 and 100. These allude to the ninety daily "Amen" responses, the four recitations of Kedusha (twice in the repetitions of the Amida – in Shaharit and Minha – once before Shema, and once in U'ba Le'sion), the ten Kaddish recitations that one should hear each day, and the one hundred Berachot. One who ensures to accomplish all this each day is considered a "Sadik." The Ashkenazic practice that the Hazan recites Birkot Ha'shahar in the synagogue helps ensure that a person reaches ninety "Amen" responses over the course of the day. This does not, however, appear to be the custom among Sephardim. The Shulhan Aruch writes that one who washes Netilat Yadayim in the morning at home should not recite the Beracha of "Al Netilat Yadayim" in the synagogue, because this results in a considerable lapse of time between the Misva and the Beracha . We may infer from the Shulhan Aruch's remark that reciting Birkot Ha'shahar at home, before arriving at the synagogue, is perfectly acceptable, as the only concern arises with regard to the particular Beracha of "Al Netilat Yadayim" which must be recited at the time one washes his hands. Indeed, the Arizal (Rav Yishak Luria, 1534-1572) made a point of reciting Birkot Ha'shahar in his home. This was also the opinion of the Kaf Ha'haim Sofer (Rav Yaakov Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939), and this was the practice of Hacham Ovadia Yosef. Nevertheless, if one prefers reciting Birkot Ha'shahar in the synagogue, figuring that at home it would be more difficult to recite the Berachot with proper concentration, then he may certainly do so. However, as mentioned, he must recite the Beracha of "Al Netilat Yadayim" right after he washes his hands soon after waking up, and he must recite "Asher Yasar" immediately after using the restroom. Additionally, as it is preferable to recite "Elokai Neshama" immediately after the recitation of "Asher Yasar," this blessing, too, should be recited at home. It turns out, then, that even if one prefers reciting Birkot Ha'shahar in the synagogue, he will nevertheless recite the Berachot of "Al Netilat Yadayim," "Asher Yasar" and "Elokai Neshama" at home. As such, there might be a practical advantage to reciting all the Birkot Ha'shahar at home, because dividing them – reciting some at home and some in the synagogue – could cause confusion. Since several Berachot must be recited at home, it is preferably to recite the blessings all together, as otherwise one might be uncertain when he arrives at the synagogue about which Berachot he already recited and which he did not. The Shulhan Aruch rules that if a person attends an Ashkenazic synagogue, where the Hazan recites the morning Berachot aloud, and he hears and answers "Amen" to the Berachot, he may nevertheless then recite the Berachot himself, if he had not recited them previously. He is not considered to have fulfilled his obligation by listening to the Hazan's recitation. The reason is that a person does not fulfill his obligation by hearing another person's Beracha unless they both have in mind that the recitation should fulfill the listener's requirement. Meaning, both the person reciting the Beracha and the person listening to the Beracha must have this in mind, and if not, then the listener does not satisfy his obligation. (Some explain on this basis the custom to exclaim "Shamayim" before someone recites a Beracha on behalf of others, as this word is an acrostic representing the phrase "Shome'a Mashmia Yahdav Mechavnim" – the listener and the one reciting must together have intention for the Beracha to fulfill the listener's obligation.) Clearly, when the Hazan recites the morning blessings in the synagogue, he has no intention at all for those listening to fulfill their obligation, and the congregation similarly does not have this intention. Therefore, the listeners can – and should – recite Birkot Ha'shahar afterward if they hadn't already. This is similar to the common practice for the Rabbi to count the Omer aloud, with the Beracha, before the congregation counts, in order that everyone hears which day to count. Here, too, neither the Rabbi nor the congregation intends for his Beracha to fulfill their obligation, and so the congregation recites the Beracha themselves afterward. (By contrast, when Hallel is recited in the synagogue, the Hazan and the congregation should have in mind that his Beracha over the Hallel should fulfill their obligation, and the congregation should then proceed right to Hallel without reciting the Beracha.) If a person does not remember whether he recited one of the morning blessings, we apply the famous rule of "Safek Berachot Le'hakel" – that a Beracha is not recited in cases of uncertainty – and he does not recite the Beracha. Preferably, he should find somebody who has yet to recite the morning Berachot and listen to that person's recitation of the Beracha or Berachot about which he is uncertain, and answer "Amen," with the intention to fulfill his obligation if this is necessary. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that a person in this situation who cannot hear the Beracha recited by someone else should recite the Beracha while omitting the words "Ata Hashem Elokenu Melech Ha'olam," and think these words in his mind, without saying them. Fascinatingly, the Ben Ish Hai discusses this Halacha by envisioning the scenario of a person who had woken up in the middle of the night for Tikkun Hasot (the prayer recited by some at halachic midnight), and, because of his fatigue, is unsure whether or not he recited all the Birkot Ha'shahar afterward. It seems that the Ben Ish Hai could not countenance a situation where somebody slept normally and, due to his mindlessness, doesn't remember whether he recited all the morning blessings. It was clear to the Ben Ish Hai that people are focused when reciting Berachot in the beginning of the day, and thus the only possible case he could imagine of a Safek (doubt) was a person who arose for Tikkun Hasot… Different opinions exist as to the final point in the day by which one must recite Birkot Ha'shahar. The Derech Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Lorberbaum of Lissa, 1760-1832) rules stringently on this matter, and maintains that one may recite the morning blessings only until the end of the fourth hour of the day – the final time by which one should recite the Amida prayer. A different opinion is taken by Rav Shlomo Kluger (1785-1869), who maintained that these Berachot may be recited until Hasot (halachic midday). However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Yehaveh Da'at, cites a large number of Poskim who ruled that Birkot Ha'shahar may be recited the entire day, until sundown. According to this view, even if somebody is unwell and got out of bed in the afternoon, he can and should still recite Birkot Ha'shahar. These Poskim include the Zera Emet (Rav Yishmael of Modena, Italy, 1723-1811), the Ma'amar Mordechi (Rav Mordechai Karmi, 1749-1825), the Ben Ish Hai (in Rav Pe'alim), and the Erech Ha'shulhan (Rav Yishak Tayeb, Tunis, 1786-1830). In light of these different opinions, the Kaf Ha'haim writes that we should follow the rule of "Safek Berachot Le'hakel," and thus if a person, for whatever reason, did not recite Birkot Ha'shahar until after the fourth hour of the day, he should not recite the blessings. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, disagrees, noting that the vast majority of Poskim allows reciting the Berachot the entire day. Those who rule otherwise are a very small minority, such that their dissenting view is not sufficient to create a situation of Safek. Hacham Ovadia also draws our attention to the practice followed by the Vilna Gaon (Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna, 1720-1797) to recite one of the morning blessings – "She'asa Li Kol Sorki" – on the night after Yom Kippur. This Beracha is recited to express gratitude over the ability to wear shoes, and so the Gaon felt that it should not be recited on Yom Kippur, when we do not wear normal shoes. On Mosa'eh Yom Kippur, however, when he put on his shoes, the Gaon recited the Beracha. According to the Gaon, then, Birkot Ha'shahar could be recited even past sundown, in the evening. Although we do not follow this opinion, it is another indication of the large consensus allowing the recitation of Birkot Ha'shahar throughout the day. Therefore, Hacham Ovadia writes, one who did not recite Birkot Ha'shahar in the morning can do so throughout the day, until sunset. Birkot Ha'shahar may be recited as early as Hasot (halachic midnight), but only if the person had gone to sleep before midnight and then woke up without intending to go back to sleep (such as those who wake up for Tikun Hasot). If a person goes to sleep after Hasot, he may not recite Birkot Ha'shahar before going to sleep. Likewise, a person who woke up after Hasot but plans to go back to sleep should not recite Birkot Ha'shahar at that point. Somebody who remains awake throughout the night should not recite Birkot Ha'shahar until daybreak (Alot Ha'shahar).

(Aniversario de la Muerte de Celia Cruz) El 16 de julio de 2003, «Celia dejó para siempre su lucha contra el tumor canceroso que le invadió el cerebro.... Dios fue con Celia como ella fue con el mundo. Le concedió una muerte como si fuera la bella durmiente», atestigua Omer Pardillo-Cid en su epílogo a la autobiografía de Celia Cruz titulada: Celia: Mi vida. «Celia salió de su casa rumbo a la funeraria... escoltada por la policía de Nueva York.... En el barrio Washington Heights, en el cual la mayoría de la población es de procedencia dominicana... se extendía... una multitud, con flores en mano, llorando y tratando de tocar el carro mientras pasaba.... Lo mismo sucedió al pasar por el barrio de Harlem. De igual manera, los afroamericanos rindieron sus respetos y su propio homenaje a la diva cubana.... »Mientras tanto, en Miami todo se preparaba para recibir por última vez a su reina.... [quien] el viernes 18 arribó al Aeropuerto Internacional de Miami.... [Desde allí] su cortejo fúnebre la transportó... hasta la Torre de la Libertad.... [Las autoridades municipales determinaron que el día siguiente] el sistema de transporte público [transportaría]... a cualquier persona... hasta la Torre sin costo alguno.... »Para las tres de la tarde [del sábado] la cantidad de personas en fila para despedirse de Celia había superado las 250 mil.... Miles [no pudieron] entrar.... La cantidad de gente que se congregó [a lo largo de la calle Biscayne Boulevard para verla pasar] fue tan grande que el tráfico se paralizó por todo el centro de Miami y sus alrededores.... [En la Torre, se preparó el cadáver] para su partida final hacia Nueva York, donde sería sepultado.... »Llegó la mañana del 22, con lluvias y un fuerte calor. Sin embargo... la gente comenzó a llegar a la funeraria [neoyorquina]... desde las cinco de la madrugada y siguió de esa manera hasta las once de la noche [por orden del gobernador].... [La funeraria calculó que por sus puertas pasaron más de cien mil personas.]   »Al día siguiente... una carroza blanca tirada por un par de caballos blancos... la [transportaron]... por toda la Quinta Avenida, [donde] miles y miles de personas congregadas en las aceras... fueron testigos de la solemne marcha [a pesar de] la lluvia [que] volvió a caer... acompañada por truenos y relámpagos... hasta la Catedral de San Patricio.... »[En la homilía de la misa] se nos recordó a todos los congregados —sigue narrando Omer Pardillo— que el “azúcar” [de Celia] “quedó derretida en el café de su pueblo”.... [En el cementerio] más de diez mil personas esperaban para despedirla [en] la lluvia, [que] continuó con fuerza.... »¿Quién iba a pensar —pregunta Omer retóricamente— que esa pobre negrita, nacida en el humilde barrio de Santos Suárez [en La Habana], llegaría, al fin de su vida, a andar en una carroza tirada por caballos blancos, como si fuera un cuento de hadas, y paralizar a la capital del mundo?»1 Tal vez lo único que valga la pena añadir a este fabuloso cuento sea que, para los que hayan envidiado a Celia, el apóstol Pedro aconseja que seamos humildes y nos sometamos al poder de Dios para que, a su debido tiempo, Dios mismo nos exalte, tratándonos como a gente importante.2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Celia Cruz con Ana Cristina Reymundo, Celia: Mi vida (New York: HarperCollins, 2004), pp. 236-42. 2 1P 5:6

Did you know that there are EXACTLY 70 WEEKS from the 7th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread following the second Passover this year 2025 to Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement 2026? Additionally if you count the 7 Sabbaths of the Omer following the Feast of First Fruits for the Second Passover this year and then you count an additional 62 Sabbaths (as in Daniel 9:25 says 7 weeks or 7 sevens i.e. 7 sabbaths & 62 weeks, sevens or sabbaths that's 69 sabbaths from the feast of first fruits for the second Passover this year) you come to Yom Teruah or Feast of Trumpets 2026 which is ON THE 69TH Sabbath after the feast of First Fruits! All throughout scripture prophecy most times has a long plan and then a short plan. The long plan is always first and the fulfillment may be in the distant future, and you don't know the day or the hour that it will be fulfilled. Then the short plan is very often revealed, including the date of its coming fulfillment once you get really close to its time. So, there can be two timelines for one prophecy or set of prophecies, a long plan and a short plan, a far plan and a near plan. Consider Noah who began building his boat 120 years before the flood came. He knew it was going to come, he just didn't know when that was the long plan, but then the short plan was revealed to him seven days before the flood came. As the time of fulfillment neared, he was told exactly what day it would start to rain. Same thing with the exodus from Egypt. The long plan was revealed to Abraham, Isaac, and then Jacob. As they got closer to going to Egypt, the plans became more distinct. Abraham saw it afar off, and Jacob actually went to Egypt. But still, it was a long plan… the rest of 400 years before they would know exactly when the exodus was coming. Then, when Moses came back from the desert, he revealed the short plan and they knew exactly when they were going to leave, the night of Passover. Same thing with Daniel 9, all of Daniel's visions actually, but Daniel 9:24-27 is what we're specifically dealing with in part 1 of this message regarding verse 24's long plan of 3500 years and in part 2 verses 25's and 27's short plan of 70 actual weeks of days.

Unlike gig economy models, Faireez partners with professional cleaning companies and assigns one “fairy” per building for consistent service. This model enables short, high-frequency cleaning sessions (15–20 minutes daily) and creates a trust-based relationship with residents. Faireez enhances NOI for property owners while offering residents a premium, lifestyle-driven amenity.     Topics From Beer Analytics to Domestic Tech Omer previously built and sold a startup that provided real-time beer consumption analytics for breweries worldwide. He's passionate about applying tech to “low-tech” industries—first beer, now housekeeping. Faireez was born from his frustration of working long hours and still coming home to do dishes at midnight. Housekeeping for Apartments Residents dislike daily chores and only have access to bi-weekly deep cleaning services. Property managers lack truly useful, lifestyle-enhancing amenities to differentiate their buildings. Cleaners face unstable gig work—Faireez offers full-time partnerships, insurance, and steady assignments. Why Gig Economy Models Fail in Housekeeping Previous “Uber for cleaning” startups failed due to inconsistent quality and no recurring relationships. Faireez does the opposite: one assigned cleaner (“fairy”) per building, pricing per chore (not hour), and better-than-market pay. Building trust and consistency drives better service, community engagement, and resident satisfaction. AI and Tech Machine learning optimizes routing, scheduling, and dynamic pricing per city and chore type. Faireez is piloting video-based assessments where residents film their space and get an instant plan, quote, and cleanliness score. Their systems update pricing frequently to keep it affordable while maintaining operational efficiency. Best Properties for Hotel-Style Housekeeping Class A properties with 100+ units and a family-oriented resident base. Ideal for buildings seeking to add non-rent revenue and attract renters looking for lifestyle upgrades. Especially popular with families, busy professionals, and tech-savvy urban renters.

Over the last year and a half, many have reflected that these times feel 'biblical.' There is a sense that the ongoing war and the surrounding societal shifts feel more significant than ever. Some of this 'biblical' scale has to do with the struggle for land and legitimacy, and some of it seems to be rooted in the heroism and clarity of the soldiers, both those in active service and reservists. They know there is a job to do and that they are the ones destined to do it. In this sensitive conversation, Dr. Yael Ziegler and Dr. Yosefa Fogel Wruble probe several battle stories in the book of Samuel for their guidance and wisdom regarding morality in war and the dynamic faces of courage, then and now. Make sure to listen until the episode's end for a conclusion to the miniseries. Dr, Yael Ziegler is a beloved Matan teacher and head of its Kitvuni program. She is a senior Tanakh lecturer at Herzog college and author of multiple commentaries on Tanakh. This has been a special podcast miniseries produced by Matan which dropped each week of the Omer counting between the holidays of Pesach and Shavuot. In each episode, a Bible scholar explored an iconic biblical text in light of the changing Israeli, Jewish, and world realities.

The Hid"a (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806), in his work Abodat Ha'kodesh (listen to audio recording for precise citation), writes that one must make a special effort on Shabuot morning, after staying awake through the night, to pray properly. Many people tend to doze during the prayer service on Shabuot morning, such that they do not recite the words properly, skip sections of the service, and certainly do not concentrate on the meaning of the words. The Hid"a writes that "Yasa Secharam Be'hefsedam" – these people lose their reward for learning throughout the night by failing to pray properly in the morning. After staying awake studying Torah throughout the night, one must make an effort to remain fully awake and alert during the prayer service on Shabuot morning so he can pray properly. It should be noted that the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) viewed the period of Sefirat Ha'omer as an extended Tikkun ("repair" of spiritual imperfections in the upper worlds) that begins on the second night of Pesah and reaches its culmination in the Musaf prayer on the first day of Shabuot. Accordingly, the Shaharit and Musaf prayers on Shabuot morning are laden with spiritual significance, and it is critical for one to recite these prayers properly. One who sleeps through these prayers, or does not recite them as he should, runs the risk of forfeiting the spiritual achievements of the entire Omer period. Therefore, it is critical after staying awake on Shabuot morning to muster all one's strength to pray properly on Shabuot morning. One who suspects that he will be unable to remain awake and alert through the end of the Musaf prayer should recite Shema and then take a nap. It is preferable to complete the prayer service later, after sleeping and rejuvenating oneself, than to risk dozing during the Tefila. When is the earliest time for reciting Shaharit on Shabuot morning? Generally speaking, one should not recite the Amida prayer of Shaharit before sunrise (Netz Ha'hama). On Shabuot morning, however, some authorities permit congregations to begin the Amida before sunrise. Since it is very difficult for people to pray properly after remaining awake throughout the night, there were some who held that the prayer may be recited earlier to help ensure that everyone will be able to properly pray the entire service. This is the ruling of the Peri Megadim (492) and the Mishna Berura (89:1, and in Sha'ar Ha'siyun 5). There are many congregations that nevertheless ensure to wait until sunrise before beginning the Amida on Shabuot morning, and though this is certainly an admirable custom, those who pray the Amida before sunrise certainly have authorities on whom to rely. Indeed, the practice of Hacham Baruch Ben Haim was to pray the Amida before sunrise on Shabuot morning, and, as mentioned, this practice is perfectly acceptable. This is the ruling of Rabbi Karp in his work Hilchot Hag Be'hag (p. 132; listen to audio recording for precise citation). It should be noted that congregations that recite the Amida before sunrise on Shabuot morning must ensure not to recite Shema before the earliest time for Shema, which occurs approximately 10-15 minutes after dawn. (Generally, however, by the time these congregations reach the Shema prayer, that time has already passed.) Summary: One must make a special effort to remain awake and alert throughout the prayer service on Shabuot morning after remaining awake through the night. If one suspects that he will be unable to remain awake and pray properly throughout the service, it is preferable to recite Shema, take a nap, and then complete the prayer service properly. Although the Amida of Shaharit generally should not be recited before sunrise, some congregations have the custom of reciting the Amida on Shabuot morning before sunrise in consideration of the difficulty entailed in remaining awake and alert throughout the prayer service. This is certainly an acceptable practice.

In this powerful and deeply insightful conversation, Rahel Bayar sits down with Nachi Gordon to discuss her journey from being a sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor in the Bronx to founding The Bayar Group, an organization dedicated to abuse and harassment prevention across North America. Rahel shares how her early aspirations in psychology shifted to law, leading her to work on some of the most difficult cases imaginable—domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault. With years of courtroom experience and firsthand exposure to trauma, she eventually asked herself: Can this be prevented? Now a leading educator and consultant, Rahel trains schools, camps, and youth organizations on how to build safe environments without instilling fear. She breaks down practical prevention tools—like teaching children about body safety, the difference between secrets and surprises, and how to foster open communication—especially within the frum (religious Jewish) community. Whether you're a parent, educator, or community leader, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what it means to protect children and empower communities. “No healthy grown-up needs a child to keep a secret.” — Rahel Bayar   This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors: ►Blooms Kosher   Bring you the best Kosher products worldwide.   https://bloomskosher.com   ____________________________________________________   ► PZ Deals - Download the app and never pay full price again!     https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp _____________________________________________________ ►Toveedo     Visit- https://toveedoshop.com   Use Promo Code MM10 for $10 off! __________________________________________________ ► Aleph Beta   Counting the Omer can feel like just counting.
