Stop waiting for the perfect moment, the fancy studio, or a 2 million naira budget to finally launch that podcast. I'm telling you right now: you can start today, for free, using nothing but the phone you're holding in your hand. I've recorded over a thousand episodes on everything from iPhones to "toy" Nokia phones. You don't need crisp, professional audio to grow your business; you need exposure to new audiences and gaining affinity with them.People dont listen because you sound like CNN; they listen because your ideas have value and your voice is authentic.The real reason most of you haven't started isn't a lack of money, it's a lack of a plan. The hard work isn't the equipment; it's the content calendar. Who are you talking to? What do you have to say that is unique? If you can answer those questions, you're ready.I practiced what I preached today by launching a brand-new show called "Nollywood Unscripted." I did the research, designed the art with AI, and recorded the first episode all on my phone. Was it perfect? No. Did it start at zero listens? Yes. But I'm willing to put in the 3 to 5 years it takes to see results.Stop overthinking. Record it in one take. Don't worry about the background noise or the occasional cough. Just start. Put something concrete into the world today and see where it takes you.Thanks for listening!

I've been having some intense conversations lately with a client in the software space, and it reminded me of a trap so many founders and entrepreneurs fall into: the Reach Trap.As a sales coach and business development consultant, I live in a world governed by revenue and conversion. But too often, I see marketing professionals high-fiving each other because they got 5 million impressions on a campaign that didn't bring in a single kobo.Let me be clear: If your advertising campaign didn't yield revenue, it wasn't a "successful" campaign! It was a waste of money.To make sure your next campaign actually puts money in the bank, keep these three things in mind: Targeting is Everything: If you're selling human hair but your ads are reaching middle-aged bald men like me, you've failed. Use demographics and psychographics to find the right people, not just the most people. Speak Human, Not "Specialist": Get rid of the jargon. Your customers don't care about your "code base" or "back-end." Speak in words ordinary people understand. Balance Awareness with Action: Reach and awareness are fine for brand building, but if you need traction or money now, you need a performance-based campaign with a clear Call to Action.Remember: Awareness is just a number. Revenue is the goal.Thanks for listening!

I recently sat down with one of my students, "Cinderella," who is navigating the high-stakes solar industry where quotes often reach into the tens of millions. She was hitting a wall: prospects kept telling her, "You're double the price of your competition."If you've heard this, your first instinct might be to drop your price or get frustrated, but that is the wrong move. Selling is a highly creative enterprise, and handling objections requires a "soft touch".Here is the blueprint we discussed for mastering these price objections: Affirm, Don't Argue: Never start by being adversarial. Instead of defending your price, agree with the prospect's observation. I told Cinderella to say, "Yes, madam, that is often the case... because most other vendors are trying to save on quality, accessories, or specs." Ask for Data: Once the tension is lowered, move into investigation mode. Ask specific questions to see if the comparison is even fair. In the solar space, this means asking about KVA ratings, for instance, or the load to be powered. Educate and Distinguish: Use the data you gather to show why your price is justified. If their cheaper quote uses "roadside" cables and installers, explain why your high-quality cabling is a guaranteed solution. "Its Not by Force": Take the pressure off entirely. Tell the prospect that your goal is to make sure they aren't being taken advantage of, whether they buy from you or not. This positions you as a professional partner rather than just another salesperson.Remember, if you find these principles hard to apply to your specific industry whether it's industrial cleaning or a startup, don't forget to use AI tools like the WhatsApp business assistant or Google Gemini to help you brainstorm.And for my Nigerian founders who are tired of software headaches, check out Ikenga Software Factory (iksf.ng).

I've noticed a major issue that is killing your business growth: you are receiving referrals - those golden introductions where trust is already implied, and you are killing the deal before it even starts.Too many of you are acting like order takers instead of consultants. When someone calls and says a former customer gave them your number, your first instinct is to just send a price list. That is the wrong way to go about it. By just sending a price list, you lose control of the conversation and practically invite the customer to ghost you.If you want to close more deals, you must: Ask the person who referred them background questions to know if the lead is serious. Call the person instead of just texting; take charge of the conversation. Drop names to use the trust that already exists between friends. Ask questions about their problems or what they are looking for to find the best solution.If youre a Nigerian founder looking to launch your product without the hassle of expensive developers, check out my friends at Ikenga Software Factory (iksf.ng).

Is your business actually growing, or are you just "seeing movement" without seeing the cash? In this episode, we dive deep into why structure and accountability are the real engines behind sustainable growth—whether you're running a neighborhood barbing salon or a high-tech biotech startup.1. The Myth of Guaranteed GrowthFirst, let's be real: there is no such thing as guaranteed growth. Business is a matter of probability and statistics; your job is to do the things that increase the odds in your favor.2. Accountability is Non-NegotiableFor cash-heavy businesses like salons or massage parlors, leaks are common if you aren't on-ground.Daily Remittance: You must reconcile your accounts daily—down to the last kobo—before anyone leaves the shop.Old-School Tracking: Use tools like carbon copy receipts or ticket systems to ensure every customer is accounted for. If a ticket is missing, you know someone is being "sharp" with your money.Log Everything: From generator run-times to the amount of fuel or reagents used, logging every expense limits theft and helps you understand your burn rate.3. Lock in Customer RetentionMost service businesses fail because they don't value customer data. If a customer spends 400k in your salon and walks out without you getting their phone number, you've made a massive mistake. Use that data for follow-ups, touch-up reminders, and holiday promos to keep them coming back.4. Incentivize Your TeamInstead of a flat salary, consider a "Base + Commission" structure. When your barbers or engineers have a stake in every "head" they cut or every milestone they hit, they stop acting like employees and start acting like partners.Thanks for listening!

Have you ever been at a networking event—or even just chatting with a new connection on LinkedIn—and someone asks the dreaded question: "What do you do?"Most of us have a prepared "elevator pitch" that we just spit out and then... silence. We give a summary, maybe throw in some fancy industry jargon like "front-end developer" and then effectively shut the door on the conversation by saying something like "Have a good day."In today's episode, I'm explaining why this approach is failing you. When you just talk about yourself and stop, you have no idea who you are actually speaking to. You might be talking to a future investor, a key collaborator, or even someone who could unlock your entire destiny! (Just kidding! There's no such thing as destiny)The real goal of networking isn't just to talk about yourself; it's "Qualification and Discovery".Here is how you should handle the "What do you do?" question moving forward:Ditch the Jargon: If your mother wouldn't understand your title, simplify it.Break it Down: Don't deliver your entire Unique Selling Proposition (USP) at once. Take one small element of what you do, share it, and then immediately throw a question back to them.Keep it Flowing: By asking questions about their business and their approach, you get to figure out if this person is a potential client, a future partner, or just someone worth keeping in your circle.Stop "spitting and cutting." Start having real, back-and-forth conversations that actually lead to progress.Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Day 2849 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2849 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 119:169-176 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2850 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2850 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Taw of the Summit – The Shepherd's Final Seal In our previous episode on this grand expedition, we hiked through the twenty-first stanza of Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, known as the "Shin" section. We stood our ground on a treacherous battlefield, facing the intense pressure of powerful earthly princes. We recognized that these human rulers were merely proxies, acting as the avatars for the rebel gods of the Divine Council. Yet, instead of surrendering to their terrifying threats, we chose to tremble exclusively before the Word of the Most High God. We discovered that when our hearts are captivated by the treasure of the cosmic blueprint, we are granted a profound, indestructible Shalom—a great peace that prevents us from stumbling, regardless of the chaos surrounding us. Today, my friends, we have reached the summit. After a long, arduous, and breathtaking climb, we are taking our final steps to the absolute peak of this magnificent, alphabetical mountain. We are exploring the twenty-second, and final, stanza. This is the "Taw" section, covering Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, verses one hundred sixty-nine through one hundred seventy-six, in the New Living Translation. In the ancient Hebrew alphabet, the letter "Taw," or "Tav," is the very last letter. In the oldest pictographic scripts, it was drawn as a cross, or a definitive mark. It represents a seal, a covenant signature, a monument, and the absolute culmination of a journey. As we stand at the summit of this colossal psalm, the writer does not offer us a boastful speech of human triumph. Instead, he places a final, humble mark upon his life, surrendering himself entirely to the rescue of the Divine Shepherd. Let us take these final steps together, and learn what it means to bear the seal of the King. The first segment is: The Culminating Cry in the Cosmic Throne Room Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred sixty-nine and one hundred seventy. O Lord, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised. Listen to my prayer; rescue me as you promised. The final stanza begins with an urgent, pressing petition. The psalmist stands at the very threshold of the heavenly throne room, and he lifts his voice: "O Lord, listen to my cry; give me the discerning mind you promised." The literal Hebrew translation paints a vivid picture of proximity. It says, "Let my cry come before Your face, O Yahweh." After traversing the valleys of affliction, surviving the traps of the wicked, and enduring the suffocating darkness of the night watches, the psalmist is finally presenting his accumulated grief directly to the Sovereign of the Divine Council. He is not shouting into the void; he is placing his petition right in front of the face of the Creator. And what does he ask for in this ultimate audience? He does not ask for vengeance against the princes who harassed him. He asks for a "discerning mind." He knows that the spiritual warfare of this world is fought, and won, on the battlefield of the intellect. The rebel principalities thrive on human ignorance, confusion, and deception. To survive their relentless campaigns, the believer desperately needs the supernatural discernment that only the King can provide. He immediately pairs this request for internal understanding with a plea for external deliverance. "Listen to my prayer; rescue me as you promised." Once again, the literal text says, "Let my supplication come before Your presence." He is piling his prayers upon the altar. Notice that both of these requests—the plea for a discerning mind, and the cry for rescue—are anchored directly to the covenant. He repeats the phrase, "as you promised." He is holding God to His own cosmic contract. He is reminding the Creator that He has given His word to protect, and to guide, the loyal members of His earthly family. The second segment is: The Eruption of the Living Fountain Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred seventy-one and one hundred seventy-two. Let praise flow from my lips, for you have taught me your decrees. Let my tongue sing about your word, for all your commands are right. As the psalmist stands in the presence of Yahweh, anticipating the fulfillment of those promises, something beautiful happens. His desperation transforms into an uncontrollable eruption of worship. "Let praise flow from my lips, for you have taught me your decrees." The Hebrew word for "flow" is naba, which means to bubble up, to gush forth, or to pour out like a geyser. This is not a manufactured, rigid, or forced religious exercise. When you truly understand that the Maker of the universe has personally stooped down to teach you His cosmic decrees, praise becomes the natural, unavoidable byproduct. It bubbles up from the deepest reservoirs of the soul. The heavy, stagnant waters of exile are suddenly flushed out by a rushing, living spring of gratitude. This bubbling spring quickly becomes a resounding, melodic anthem. "Let my tongue sing about your word, for all your commands are right." In the biblical worldview, singing is not merely an emotional release; it is an act of spiritual warfare, and theological declaration. The pagan nations sang songs to glorify the chaotic, bloodthirsty exploits of their rebel gods. They sang of power, domination, and selfish indulgence. But the faithful exile sings a completely different tune. He sings about the inherent, flawless righteousness of God's instructions. He declares that "all your commands are right," or perfectly just. By singing the truth into the atmosphere, he is actively pushing back the darkness. He is using his voice to reclaim the contested territory of the earth, announcing to the unseen realm that the laws of Yahweh are supreme, beautiful, and worthy of total adoration. The Third segment is: The Open Hand and the Deliberate Choice Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred seventy-three and one hundred seventy-four. Stand ready to help me, for I have chosen to follow your commandments. O Lord, I have longed for your rescue, and your instructions are my delight. Having poured out his praise, the psalmist turns back to the practical, daily reality of his survival. "Stand ready to help me, for I have chosen to follow your commandments." Literally, the text asks, "Let Your hand become my help." We saw earlier in this grand psalm how the psalmist recognized that he was carefully fashioned by the hands of God. Now, he asks those same, powerful, creative hands to remain open, and ready to intervene on his behalf. He justifies this bold request with a profound statement of human agency. "For I have chosen to follow your commandments." In the cosmic rebellion, neutrality is a myth. Every human being must make a definitive choice. The rebel spiritual forces constantly tempt humanity to choose the path of autonomy, offering the illusion of freedom in exchange for spiritual slavery. But the psalmist has exercised his free will, and he has deliberately, consciously selected the precepts of the Creator. He has drawn a line in the sand, and he is asking God to defend the territory he has chosen. He emphasizes this loyalty in verse one hundred seventy-four. "O Lord, I have longed for your rescue, and your instructions are my delight." The Hebrew word for rescue here is Yeshua, meaning salvation, deliverance, and ultimate victory. He is homesick for the consummation of God's kingdom. He longs for the day when the Divine Council will finally execute justice, completely overthrowing the rebel principalities, and restoring the earth to its Edenic perfection. But as he waits for that final Yeshua, he does not sit in idle misery. He finds his present, sustaining delight in the instructions of the King. The cosmic blueprint is the joyful map that keeps him moving forward, even while he longs for his final home. The fourth segment is: The Lost Sheep and the Enduring Mark Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred seventy-five and one hundred seventy-six Let me live so

Are you a Nigerian entrepreneur, founder, or mompreneur wondering why your sales conversations aren't closing? Many of us make the same mistake: we talk to potential customers without ever figuring out their timelines or their sense of urgency.I'm sure you've been there—you give a prospect space because you don't want to be a pest, only to call back a month later and hear, "Oh, sorry, I already went with someone else two weeks ago." You didn't realize they needed it "sharp-sharp"  because you didn't ask the right questions.Timelines tell you when they want to move, while urgency is that objective sign that they are ready to take action soon. For example, if you're in the solar business like my client Snow White (not her real name), asking "How soon can we come for a technical audit?" or "Is there any reason you started researching now?" can reveal if they are a serious prospect or just curious.Selling should be a conversation, not an interrogation. If you ask a question that feels too direct, don't sweat it—just apologize, empathize, refocus on how the information helps you serve them better, and then try to move the deal forward.By the way, if you're a Nigerian founder facing software bottlenecks, my guys at Ikenga Software Factory (iksf.ng) can get your product idea live in just 7 days.

Stop trying to perform miracles in your business! Many of you have been reaching out lately thinking your biggest problem is that you don't know how to convince people to buy, but I have to be blunt: you cannot convince someone to do what they do not want to do.Unless you are looking to use the psychological bamboozling techniques of a fraud or a 419 scammer, you need to erase the idea of convincing from your head.In the real world of business, your job is to find people who are already properly disposed toward what you are selling. Stop giving yourself "high jump"  by talking to everyone in your network and start looking for qualified buyers—people who have a want, a need, the ability to afford your product, and a sense of urgency.When you find these people, closing doesn't just become easier; it becomes obvious.Remember these key elements for your next sales interaction:Sales is a Conversation, Not a Monologue: Stop looking for magic words to talk at people.Questions are Your Best Tool: Selling is about the questions you ask to get the other person talking about their habits and tastes.Active Listening: Pay attention to their feedback so you can align your pitch to what they actually care about.Navigate the Dynamics: Everyone starts with Sales Resistance. Your goal is to move them toward Sales Acceptance by building trust and understanding their needs.Stop talking and start listening!Thanks for listening!

Stop obsessing over your business name and start focusing on how your customers actually think. Today, I want to talk about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) because it remains a major concern for Nigerian business owners. If the term SEO confuses you, just think of it as the answer to one simple question: How do people find me online?In Nigeria, many people make the mistake of focusing their SEO strategy on their proprietary company names or technical jargon. I was talking to my guy who runs iksf.ng (Ikenga Software Factory), and we discussed how he shouldn't just try to rank for "software factory" in online SEO. Why? Because unless you are already a massive brand, people aren't searching for you—they are searching for solutions to their specific problems.Instead of your name, you should be ranking for the questions your customers are actually typing into Google.To illustrate how absurd it gets when you focus on the wrong keywords, I shared a hilarious (and definitely for adults only) example about a male performance enhancement company.If your company is named something wild like "Kulio the Bastard Slayer", don't waste your time trying to rank for that name. Your customers are searching things like "how to satisfy a woman", or "does size really matter"?My own podcast is proof of this strategy. I haven't spent millions on SEO agencies. People find me because they search for how to improve my marketing or business in Nigeria, not because they already know my name.Stop being cute with your brand names in search results. Figure out the specific questions your potential clients are asking and build your content around that.If you have a tech idea and want to go live in 7 days or less, visit iksf.ng.

Ariana Resources PLC (AIM:AAU, ASX:AA2, FRA:4A6) managing director Kerim Sener talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's 2025 results, funding position, and progress across its key gold projects, including Dokwe and Tavşan. Sener outlined a “very pleasing end to the year,” highlighting a stronger cash position following an investment from Xinhai, leaving the company with approximately £5.4 million in cash. He explained that Ariana is now “adequately provided for through the duration of the coming year and the feasibility study on Dokwe,” positioning the company to advance one of its most important growth assets. The discussion also addressed the reported shift from profit to loss, which Sener clarified was “a paper treatment only,” driven by a non-cash accounting adjustment related to the valuation of its investment in Zenit. Operationally, the Dokwe project continues to deliver encouraging exploration results. Sener pointed to strong drilling intercepts, including “4m at about 17g per ton of gold,” which demonstrate newly identified extensions of mineralisation and support the potential for a future resource upgrade. Further drilling and metallurgical work are planned in the coming months. Meanwhile, the Tavşan mine has entered production and is expected to begin contributing dividend flow during the year, supporting Ariana Resources PLC's broader growth strategy. Sener also emphasised that the company is “very well funded through the course of this year,” with additional financial and technical backing from Xinhai helping to advance feasibility work.

Several different explanations have been given for why the Shabbat preceding Pesach is given the name "Shabbat Ha'gadol" – literally, "the Great Shabbat." One of the lesser-known reasons is a fascinating connection between this Shabbat and Abraham Abinu. The Gemara in Masechet Rosh Hashanah (11) brings a debate between Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua as to the month in which the Abot (patriarchs) passed away. Rabbi Yehoshua maintained that the three Abot – Abraham, Yishak and Yaakob – died during the month of Nissan, whereas Rabbi Eliezer was of the opinion that they passed away during Tishri. However, a different source – the Yalkut Reubeni (in Parashat Lech-Lecha) – states that Abraham Abinu died during the month of Tebet. This is alluded to in G-d's promise to Abraham, "Tikaber Be'seba Toba" – that he would be buried at an advanced age (Bereshit 15:15). The first letters of these three words (Tav, Bet, Tet) are the three letters of the word "Tebet," and the word "Toba" resembles "Tebet." This is mentioned also in the work Seder Ha'dorot (Rav Yehiel Heilprin, 1660-1746). The obvious question arises as to how to reconcile this theory with the Gemara, which indicates that Abraham died either in Nissan or in Tishri. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) answers this question by citing a Kabbalistic source about the unique nature of the month of Nissan. The Torah designates Nissan as the first month of the year, and according to the teachings of Kabbalah, this month contains within it an element of all other months. Each of the first days of Nissan corresponds to a different month of the year. Rosh Hodesh Nissan is associated with Nissan itself, whereas the 2 nd of Nissan is associated with Iyar, the 3 rd is connected to Sivan, the 4 th to Tammuz, and so on. Accordingly, the sources that say that Abraham died in Tebet could be understood to mean that he died on the day of Nissan – following Rabbi Yehoshua's opinion – corresponding to the month of Tebet. As Tebet is the tenth month, this would mean that Abraham Abinu died on the 10 th of Nissan. As we know, the 10 th of Nissan is a very significant date – as it was on this day when, just before the Exodus from Egypt, Beneh Yisrael prepared the sheep for the Pesach sacrifice which they offered on the afternoon of the 14 th of Nissan (Shemot 12:3) in preparation for their departure from Egypt. Now in the year of the Exodus, the 15 th of Nissan – the day Beneh Yisrael left Egypt – fell on Thursday, such that the 10 th of Nissan fell on Shabbat. It emerges, then, that Shabbat Ha'gadol marks the Yahrtzeit of Abraham Abinu. On this basis, it has been explained why this Shabbat is given the name "Shabbat Ha'gadol." A verse in the Book of Yehoshua (14:15) speaks of a great man – "Ha'adam Ha'gadol Ba'anakim" – who lived in Hebron, and our Sages teach that this refers to Abraham Abinu. As he is the "Ha'adam Ha'gadol," the Shabbat before Pesach, which commemorates his Yahrtzeit, is called "Shabbat Ha'gadol."

In the "Kaddish Yeheh Shelama," which is recited by mourners at the end of the prayer service, we make twelve requests, asking for: "Shelama Rabba" (an abundance of peace), "Haim" (life), "Saba" (satiation), "Yeshua" (salvation), "Nehama" (consolation), "Shezaba" (protection), "Refua" (health), "Ge'ula" (redemption), "Seliha" (forgiveness), "Kapara" (atonement), "Revah" ("relief"), and "Hasala" (deliverance). These twelve requests correspond to the twelve tribes of Israel – which were founded by the twelve righteous sons of Yaakob Abinu – and we pray to Hashem to grant us these wishes in their merit. The word "Revah" (translated above as "relief") could also refer to material prosperity. The Arizal taught that the Name of G-d associated with Parnasa (livelihood) is Het-Tav-Chaf. This Name is alluded to in the verse "Pote'ah Et Yadecha U'masbia Le'chol Hai Rason" ("You open Your hand and wilfully satiate every living creature" – Tehillim 145:16), as the final letters of the words "Pote'ah et Yadecha" are Het, Tav and Chaf. These letters in Gematria equal 428 (8+400+20), which is twice the Gematria of the word "Revah" (200+6+8=214). In "Kaddish Yeheh Shelama," we say "Ve'revah" – with the letter Vav appearing before the word "Revah." Now Rashi (Bereshit 27:28) comments that the word "Ve'yiten" ("And He shall give") means that G-d should give and then give again ("Yiten Ve'yahazor Ve'yiten"). The word "Ve'revah," then, might also refer to a double blessing of "Revah" – or twice 214, for a total of 428. The word "Ve'revah," then, perhaps alludes to the special Name of Parnasa – Het-Tav-Chaf. This might be the reason why many have the custom to loudly exclaim "Ve'revah" during Kaddish – emphasizing the desire to access this special Name and thereby earn a comfortable livelihood.

In the "Kaddish De'Rabbanan" – known as "Kaddish Al Yisrael" – a special prayer is offered on behalf of the Torah scholars and their students. We pray for the wellbeing of the Rabbis, and for "Talmidihon Ve'al Talmideh Talmidehon" – "their students, and their students' students" – that is, for three generations of scholars. This parallels the verse in the Book of Yeshayahu (59:21) in which Hashem promises that the words of the Torah will not depart "from your mouth, from the mouth of your offspring, or from the mouth of your offspring's offspring." The Gemara derives from this verse that if three generations in a family study Torah, then Torah is guaranteed to remain in that family for all generations in the future. Correspondingly, we pray for the scholars, their students, and their students' students. We speak in this prayer of scholars "De'askin Be'Orayta Kadishta" – "who engage in the sacred Torah." Since the word "Orayta" (Torah) is a feminine noun, the adjective must likewise be in the feminine form – "Kadishta" – and not in the masculine form – "Kadisha." One must therefore ensure to recite "Kadishta," with the letter Tav. We emphasize that we pray for these blessings on behalf of scholars in this land and "Be'chol Atar Ve'atar" – in any place, no matter where they are. Some communities have the custom of reciting this phrase as "De'yatbin Ve'askin Be'Orayta Kadishta" – adding the word "De'yatbin" ("who sit…"). Although this is the practice among Moroccan and Tunisian communities, this is not the custom among Syrian Jews. Different versions exist for the phrase "Yeheh Lana U'lechon U'lehon" ("There shall be for us and for you and for them…"), as in some editions, the words "Lehon" and "Lechon" are reversed: "Yeheh Lana U'lehon U'lechon." Hacham Ovadia Yosef maintained that the correct text is "Yeheh Lana U'lechon U'lehon," as it is proper to first extend a blessing "to you" – to those who are present, and only then to others. We pray that Hashem should grant the scholars "Hina Ve'hisda Ve'rahameh" – "grace, kindness and compassion." The word "Hina" is Aramaic for the Hebrew word "Hen" ("grace"), which is sometimes translated as "charm." It denotes an intangible quality that some people have which leads others to like them and wish to deal kindly with them. In order to succeed in life, we need a degree of "Hen," a certain likeability that earns us people's favor and goodwill, and so we bless the scholars that they should not only receive Hashem's kindness and compassion, but also be granted "Hen." Some commentators explain that these three wishes – "Hina, Ve'hisda, Ve'rahameh" – correspond to Abraham, Yishak and Yaakob.

Manchester in the mid-2010s was an electric period in the city's brewing history, with several modern brewing trailblazers—including Track and Cloudwater—exploding onto the scene. Before either of them existed, however, there was Blackjack, which has been quietly plugging away with its wonderful beer since 2012.  Over the years they've established themselves not simply as a well-respected brewery and taproom, but through the opening and adoption of several venues around Greater Manchester. These now include Station Hop in Levenshulme, their bars at Mackie Mayor and Altrincham Market, and at their fantastic pub on Swan Street, the Smithfield Market Tavern—or simply ‘The Tav' to its regulars.  It's never been Blackjack's style to boast about their achievements, however, so at the end of last year I decided to do a bit of that for them. Over the summer their lager program was, to put it modestly, having a moment. During this time I became completely enthralled by their Italian Pilsner, In Simpatico, a beer that possesses the crisp, structured body of a pilsner, and a hefty dose of aromatic Enigma hops, planting it somewhere between a lager and a pale ale. Such was its quality, I decided to name it as one of my top ten beers of the year in 2025.  Fast forward a couple of months, and I get a call from the brewery inviting me down for the canning of a new batch. Unable to resist the offer of trying the beer fresh off the line, I headed down to the brewery. Afterwards I settled in at the Smithfield with Blackjack's managing director Jon Hartley, plus team members George Charlton, Matt Drage and Jack Williams, for a chat about the past, present and future of Blackjack Brew Co.  We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsor Get ‘Er Brewed.

One who recites Kaddish must ensure while saying the phrase "Be'alma Di Bera" to pronounce "Di Bera" as two separate words. If one recites this phrase too quickly, he will end up saying, "Dibera," as one word, which is incorrect. He must be careful to recite two separate words – "Di" and "Bera." Different opinions exist regarding the pronunciation of the word "Chi'r'uteh" in the phrase "Be'alma Di Bera Chi'r'uteh," as according to some views, the letter Chaf has a Dagesh (dot), such that it should be pronounced "Ki'r'uteh." The debate hinges on how to read this phrase. The basic rule is that when any of the letters Bet, Gimmel, Dalet, Kaf, Peh or Tav appears at the beginning of the word, it receives a Dagesh. The exception to this rule is when the preceding word ends with an Alef, Heh, Vav or Yod, in which case the word does not receive a Dagesh. In the case of "Chi'r'uteh," then, it would seem that since the previous word ("Bera") ends with the letter Alef, the Chaf at the beginning of "Chi'r'uteh" should remain without a Dagesh, and thus be pronounced "Chi'r'uteh." Indeed, this is how the word is punctuated in many editions of the Siddur. However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that the more correct pronunciation is "Ki'r'uteh." He explained that although the previous word ends with an Alef, that word – "Bera" – is not connected to the word "Ki'r'uteh." The word "Ki'r'uteh" means "in accordance with His will," and Hacham Ovadia explained, based on a passage in Masechet Sofrim, that this word modifies not the immediately preceding words, but rather the beginning of Kaddish, when we pray for G-d's Name to be glorified. We pray that His Name should be sanctified and praised "Ki'r'uteh" – in fulfillment of His will. Hence, the word "Ki'r'uteh" stands separate and apart from the words "Di Bera," and so the Heh at the end of the word "Bera" does not affect the letter Chaf at the beginning of the word "Ki'r'uteh." We thus apply the standard rule that a Chaf at the beginning of a word receives a Dagesh, such that the word should be pronounced "Ki'r'uteh." Rav Meir Mazuz (1945-2025) disputed Hacham Ovadia's position. He noted that the Abudarham (Spain, 14 th century) interpreted "Di Bera Chi'r'uteh" to mean, "that He created in accordance with His will." According to this reading, the word "Chi'r'uteh" indeed modifies the immediately preceding words – "Di Bera," such that the letter Chaf should not receive a Dagesh. Rav Mazuz conceded, however, that the passage in Masechet Sofrim indeed implies that "Chi'r'uteh" modifies the earlier part of the sentence, and not the words "Di Bera." In practice, different customs exist. Tunisian communities pronounce the word "Ki'r'uteh," whereas the custom among the communities in Aleppo, Syria was to pronounce it "Chi'r'uteh." Rav Yisrael Bitan writes that Hacham Ovadia, despite preferring the pronunciation of "Ki'r'uteh," acknowledged that those who pronounce it "Chi'r'uteh" have a legitimate basis for this practice. Therefore, each community should follow its custom. Summary: One who recites Kaddish must ensure while saying the phrase "Be'alma Di Bera" to pronounce "Di Bera" as two separate words, and not as one word ("Dibera"). Different customs exist regarding the next word – "Chi'r'uteh," as some pronounce the word this way, and others pronounce it "Ki'r'uteh." Each community should follow its custom.

April 21 first The custom among many Ashkenazim is to pronounce the first two words of Kaddish as "Yitgadel Ve'yitkadesh." This follows the ruling of the Mishna Berura, who maintained that these words are Hebrew, not Aramaic, such that they should be pronounced "Yitgadel Ve'yitkadesh," with the Sereh vowel underneath the Dalet in both words. However, Rav Meir Mazuz (1945-2025) noted that in ancient sources, these words appear in the Aramaic form – "Yitgadal Ve'yitkadash," with a Patah vowel, and so this is the proper pronunciation. This is, indeed, the custom among Sepharadim. When reciting the word "Yitgadal," one must ensure to pronounce the Gimmel properly, and not as a Kuf, as though reciting "Yitkadal," a word that means something very different from "Yitgadal." Furthermore, one must make a point to pronounce the Dalet properly, so the word does not sound like "Yitkatal," with a Tav.

In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.In this first study we will start with EveI will begin in Chapter 3 verse 5.We finished up in our study with the serpent assuring Eve that she will not die! This would be Satan's second utterance! A Contradiction of Yahweh's Word in chapter 2:17. Take note the fact that Satan emphasizes his statement with the word ‘surely'. Satan tries to be like Yahweh. 5   opened = were opened [to wickedness] the knowledge attained is neither of happiness, wisdom or power, but of consciousness of sin and its conflict with the will of Yahweh. Next come shame, fear and the attempt to hide.7   Knew = they knew before, but their knowledge now received a new meaning. Adam becomes “naked” by losing something of Yahweh's glorious likeness. Could Romans 8:3 refer to this? “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Yahweh sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Naked = “ay-ram” from 6191, nudity; 6191 = “aw-ram” to be [or make] bare, but used only in a derivate sense [through the idea of perhaps of smoothness] to be cunning [usually in a bad sense]8  voice = “kole, kole”  meaning to call aloud; a voice or sound: crackling of footstepsIn the Hebrew text we see the Hebrew word ‘eth'. Which is the letters Alph and Tav.Aleph = The original pictograph for this letter is a picture of an ox head representing strength and power from the work performed by the animal. This pictograph also represents a chief or other leader. When two oxen are yoked together for pulling a wagon or plow, one is the older and more experienced one who leads the other. Tav = The Ancient picture is a type of "mark", probably of two sticks crossed to mark a place similar to the Egyptian hieroglyph of, a picture of two crossed sticks. This letter has the meanings of mark, sign or signature.By placing this Hebrew word ‘eth' within this verse, shows us that it is no doubt Yahweh who is calling them.Cool of the day is literally “the breeze of the day.”cool = “ruach” spirit. Since Yahweh is a Spirit, could it be possible that they may have heard the movement of His Spirit going through the garden? 9  where art thou = the first question in the Old Testament come from Yahweh to the sinner, whereas in the New Testament, the first question of the seeking sinner, “Where is He?” Matthew 2:210    I was afraid, because I was naked = See the immediate consequences of sin. 1) Shame, because of the ingratitude marked in the rebellion, and because that in aiming to be like Yahweh they were now sunk into a state of the greatest wretchedness. 2) Fear, because they saw they had been deceived by Satan, and were exposed to that death and punishment from which he had promised them an exemption.11 Hast thou eaten? = An opportunity is given Adam for full confessions and expression of repentance. A sin unconfessed and unrepented is a sin constantly committed.12  the man = eth-ha-adahamthe woman = showing the true nature of a sinful man, always passing the buckthou gavest = Boy, Adam is really showing his colors or nakedness. Now he is passing the buck to the one that created him!Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

This week on Newsroom Robots, host Nikita Roy is joined by Tav Klitgaard, the CEO of the Danish newsroom Zetland, to unpack the origin story of GoodTape — an AI transcription tool that began as an internal newsroom solution and evolved into a profitable, global product used far beyond journalism.Zetland is an audio-first newsroom in Denmark. But GoodTape wasn't born from an AI strategy or a product roadmap. It emerged from a familiar newsroom pain point of journalists spending hours transcribing interviews, with existing tools falling short, especially in non-English languages like Danish.In this conversation, Tav breaks down how GoodTape went from an internal experiment to a standalone, subscription-based product that quickly became profitable, generated millions in revenue and was eventually divested. He also shares what building GoodTape taught Zetland about AI adoption, organizational learning, and where newsrooms should, and shouldn't, use generative AI.This episode covers:05:50 – How a prototype using OpenAI's Whisper sparked GoodTape08:36 – The moment Zetland realized GoodTape could be a real product12:34 – How journalism's trust and privacy standards became a product advantage13:59 – What actually improves transcription quality beyond the model itself15:27 – How GoodTape became profitable and contributed to Zetland's revenue16:29 – Why Zetland eventually divested GoodTape instead of scaling it internally17:36 – What building an AI product taught Zetland about newsroom AI adoption19:08 – Why Zetland uses AI for productivity, not editorial output28:14 – A real-world example of AI use that forced Zetland to rethink its own guidelines30:34 – Why principles matter more than rigid AI rules in newsrooms

One of the verses in the "Az Yashir" song which our ancestors sang after the miracle of the splitting of the Yam Suf – and which we recite each morning toward the end of Pesukeh De'zimra – is "Mi Chamocha Ba'elim Hashem, Mi Kamocha Ne'edar Be'kodesh." Although both halves of this verse begin with the same two words ("Mi Chamocha"), the pronunciation is not identically the same in both halves. At the beginning of the verse, the correct pronunciation is "Mi Chamocha," whereas in the second half, these words should be pronounced "Mi Kamocha." The phrase "Mi Kamocha" in the second half of the verse marks an exception to a rule of Hebrew grammar. The basic rule is that a Bet, Gimmel, Dalet, Kaf, Peh or Tav at the beginning of a word receives a Dagesh (dot), in which case, in principle, the letter Kaf at the beginning of "Kamocha" should receive a Dagesh, and should thus be pronounced "Kamocha." However, when the previous word ends with a Heh, Vav or Yod – such as the word "Mi," which ends with the letter Yod – the Dagesh is not added. Hence, according to the rules of grammar, the phrase should be pronounced "Mi Chamocha." Nevertheless, the second half of this verse is exceptional, and the Dagesh is, in fact, added to the Kaf, resulting in the pronunciation of "Mi Kamocha." When one recites this verse, he must ensure not to say the words "Hashem Mi Kamocha" rapidly, such that it sounds like he says, "Hashem Micha" – as though declaring that Micha is G-d, Heaven forbid. Micha was the person responsible for creating the golden calf at Mount Sinai, and one must be careful not to imply that he is a deity. Sepharadim make a distinction in their pronunciation between a letter Gimal that has a Dagesh, and a letter Gimal that does not. In the phrase "Am Zu Ga'alta," the Gimal at the beginning of "Ga'alta" receives a Dagesh. According to the rule mentioned earlier, this letter should not receive a Dagesh, because the previous word ("Zu") ends with the letter Vav. The reason why this Gimal nevertheless receives a Dagesh is that without a Dagesh, the word would sound like "Ga'alta" spelled with an Ayin (as opposed to an Alef), which would mean that Hashem is repulsed by Beneh Yisrael, Heaven forbid. Pronouncing the Gimal with a Dagesh makes it clear that the word is "Ga'alta" with an Alef, which means that Hashem has redeemed Beneh Yisrael. A similar exception is made earlier in this verse, in the phrase "Yidemu Ka'aben." The Kaf at the beginning of "Ka'aben" should, in principle, not receive a Dagesh, because it follows a word that ends with the letter Vav. Nevertheless, the Dagesh is added to the Kaf, as otherwise this phrase might sound like "Yidemucha Aben" – "stone silences You," indicating that stone has some kind of power to defeat the Almighty, Heaven forbid. At one point in "Az Yashir," the Egyptians' drowning is described with the words "Salelu Ka'oferet Be'mayim Adirim" – the Egyptians plunged into the water like lead. There is some question as to the implication of the word "Adirim" – "mighty" – at the end of this verse. Several Poskim, including the Mishna Berura, Ben Ish Hai, and Kaf Ha'haim, explain that this word describes the Egyptian warriors who drowned. Accordingly, these Poskim maintain that when reading this verse, one must make a pause between the words "Mayim" and "Adirim," as otherwise it sounds as though one describes the water as being mighty. However, Rav Meir Mazuz (1945-2025) found a poem written by Rav Yehuda Ha'levi (Spain, 1075-1141) indicating that he understood the phrase "Mayim Adirim" to mean "mighty waters," referring to the turbulence of the waters as they descended onto the Egyptians and drowned them. According to this reading, this phrase should be read without a pause between "Mayim" and "Adirim." It is customary to repeat the final verse of "Az Yashir" – "Hashem Yimloch Le'olam Va'ed." One reason this is done is so that we end up mentioning the Name of "Havaya" in this song 18 times, which has special significance. Additionally, the verse is repeated to mark the conclusion of the song. We then recite the Aramaic translation of this final verse ("Hashem Malchuteh Ka'em…") and then the verse immediately following the song – "Ki Ba Sus Pharaoh…"

The heart of the Pesukeh De'zimra section consists of the final five chapters of Tehillim, each of which begin and end with the word "Halleluy-ah." While all five of these chapters are significant, the third and fifth chapters (Psalm 148 & Psalm 150) – "Halleluy-ah Halelu Et Hashem" and "Halleluy-ah Halelu Kel Be'kodsho" – are the most important. Therefore, if a person arrives late, and is unable to recite all five chapters, he should try to recite at least these two. We present here a number of insights into these chapters in order for us to get a glimpse of the unlimited depth and countless layers of meaning underlying the words. In the first of these chapters, we proclaim, "Ahalela Hashem Be'hayai, Azamera L'Elokai Be'odi" – "I shall praise G-d in my lifetime; I shall sing to my G-d while I still exist." The word "Be'hayai" ("in my lifetime") has been understood to mean when we are still healthy and functioning. As long as we are physically capable of speaking and giving praise to the Almighty, we are obliged to do so. Rav Chaim Brim (Jerusalem, 1922-2002) noted the implication of this verse that one of the most important things in life, one of our most central obligations, is to give praise to Hashem. Among the purposes of our existence here in this world is to recognize Hashem's goodness, to express our gratitude, and to sing His praises. If a person would be asked what he would do if, after his passing, he could be resurrected for five minutes, his response should be that he would use this time to praise Hashem. This concept is emphasized further in the next chapter, which begins, "Halleluy-ah Ki Tob Zamera L'Elokenu" – we should praise Hashem because "it is good to sing to our G-d." One of the greatest privileges we have is the opportunity to praise Hashem each and every day. The fourth of these five chapters exclaims, "Shiru L'Hashem Shir Hadash" – "Sing a new song to G-d." This verse uses the masculine term for song – "Shir" – as opposed to the feminine form – "Shira." The difference between the masculine and feminine form is that the feminine form implies succession, that there will be other songs, just as a woman produces children, whereas the masculine form refers to a song that does not produce more songs. The masculine term "Shir" is used in this Psalm because it speaks of the final song, the song that we will sing at the time of Mashiah's arrival. Indeed, the end of this chapter talks about G-d taking revenge from Israel's enemies – "La'asot Nekama Ba'goyim" – as it refers to the final redemption, when our enemies will be vanquished. The final of these chapters, "Halleluy-ah Halelu Kel Be'kodsho" – concludes with the verse, "Kol Ha'neshama Tehalel Y-ah Halleluy-ah" – "Every soul shall praise G-d, Halleluy-ah" – and it is customary to recite this concluding verse twice. One of the reasons given is that by repeating this verse, we end up recite the verb "Hallelu"/"Tehalel" twelve times, an allusion to the custom to recite Hallel on Rosh Hodesh, at the beginning of each of the twelve months of the year. The Arizal taught that the first letters of the words "Kol Ha'neshama Tehalel" – Kaf, Heh and Tav – spell a Name of Hashem associated with protection from danger. Having this intention while reciting these words can help protect a person from harm. It is likewise recommended to recite these words with this intention anytime one fears some sort of danger. The Arizal noted that this also helps protect pregnant women from miscarriage. Rav David Abudarham (Spain, 14 th century) writes that the Pesukeh De'zimra service is constructed in a manner that corresponds to the "Asara Ma'amarot" – the ten pronouncements through which G-d brought the world into existence. Pesukeh De'zimra begins with the blessing of Baruch She'amar, which corresponds to the first pronouncement. It is followed by Mizmor Le'toda – which parallels the second pronouncement, that of "Va'yehi Or" ("There shall be light"), and so on. The chapter of "Halleluy-ah Halelu Kel Be'kodsho" corresponds to the final pronouncement, the creation of Adam, and thus concludes, "Every soul shall praise G-d," emphasizing the point that the human being is the only one among the world's creatures capable of giving praise to G-d. After completing these five chapters of Tehillim, we recite four verses: "Baruch Hashem Le'olam Amen Ve'amen" (Tehillim 89:53); "Baruch Hashem Mi'sion, Shochen Yerushalayim…" (Tehillim 135:21); "Baruch Hashem Elokim Oseh Niflaot Le'bado U'baruch Shem Kebodo Le'olam…" (72:18-19). The first of these verses marks the conclusion of the third of the five books of Tehillim, and the fourth and fifth verses mark the conclusion of the second book. We thus recite these verses as a fitting conclusion to our recitation of Tehillim in Pesukeh De'zimra. Additionally, the first verse has five words, corresponding to the congregation's five-word response to Barechu – "Baruch Hashem Ha'meborach Le'olam Va'ed." The second verse consists of six words, alluding to the six words of the verse "Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokenu Hashem Ehad." Finally, the third and fourth verses contain a total of 19 words, paralleling the 19 blessings of the Amida prayer. The first and final verses conclude with "Amen Ve'amen." The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) explains that the word "Amen" is repeated to affirm the eternal truth of our praise of Hashem, both in this world and the next. One should not add other chapters of Tehillim or other verses in Pesukeh De'zimra. For example, if somebody completed Pesukeh De'zimra before the Hazan, he should not add recitations while he waits for the Hazan to finish. Neither should a person repeat any of the text of Pesukeh De'zimra. Even if one realized that he had recited Pesukeh De'zimra without Kavana (concentration), he should not repeat it. (The exception is the verse "Pote'ah Et Yadecha U'masbi'a…" which should be repeated if it was recited without Kavana, as we discussed in a previous installment.)

The first of these verses marks the conclusion of the third of the five books of Tehillim, and the fourth and fifth verses mark the conclusion of the second book. We thus recite these verses as a fitting conclusion to our recitation of Tehillim in Pesukeh De'zimra. Additionally, the first verse has five words, corresponding to the congregation's five-word response to Barechu – "Baruch Hashem Ha'meborach Le'olam Va'ed." The second verse consists of six words, alluding to the six words of the verse "Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokenu Hashem Ehad." Finally, the third and fourth verses contain a total of 19 words, paralleling the 19 blessings of the Amida prayer. The first and final verses conclude with "Amen Ve'amen." The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) explains that the word "Amen" is repeated to affirm the eternal truth of our praise of Hashem, both in this world and the next. One should not add other chapters of Tehillim or other verses in Pesukeh De'zimra. For example, if somebody completed Pesukeh De'zimra before the Hazan, he should not add recitations while he waits for the Hazan to finish. Neither should a person repeat any of the text of Pesukeh De'zimra. Even if one realized that he had recited Pesukeh De'zimra without Kavana (concentration), he should not repeat it. (The exception is the verse "Pote'ah Et Yadecha U'masbi'a…" which should be repeated if it was recited without Kavana, as we discussed in a previous installment.)

The section of Ashreh, which we recite three times each day, contains the famous verse, "Pote'ah Et Yadecha U'masbi'a Le'chol Hai Rason" – "You open Your hands and willfully satiate every living creature" (Tehillim 145:16). This verse is especially significant, and, in fact, it is one of the reasons why we are to recite this chapter of Tehillim three times each day (Berachot 4b). It must therefore be recited with concentration, and it behooves us to properly understand its meaning. While the verse's meaning is generally straightforward, the final word – "Rason" – requires explanation. This word means "will," that which a person wishes for. What exactly did King David mean when he said that Hashem satiates all living beings "Rason"? One explanation is that Hashem does not just give us a livelihood – but He does so willfully, lovingly. Just as a parent loves giving to his or her children, and wants to give them as much as possible, Hashem similarly loves us and wants very much to give us a livelihood. It is his pleasure, so-to-speak, to sustain us. Others explain "Rason" as referring to our will, the will of the beneficiaries of Hashem's kindness. He fills our needs and grants us what we wish for. There is also another possible interpretation of the word "Rason" in this verse. Very often, financial success results from a person's likeability, his finding favor in other people's eyes. He earns other people's respect and fondness, and it is because of this that they buy his product or solicit his services. It is not always the product itself which attracts buyers; sometimes it's the seller's character and demeanor. The phrase "U'masbi'a Le'chol Hai Rason" thus might refer to G-d's providing a livelihood by granting a person "Rason" – a certain charm and likeability. Hashem often helps a person succeed by giving him this quality whereby he attracts customers and his products or services are eagerly sought after. The scholars of Kabbalah have unearthed numerous additional layers of interpretations underlying this verse. The Kaf Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939) writes that the vast majority of people should not try to have deep kabbalistic intentions while praying, and should instead ensure to concentrate on the plain, straightforward meaning of the words. Seeking to pray with these deep intentions could lead one to overlook the plain meaning, and the Kaf Ha'haim warns that this could be harmful to the person's Tefila. Nevertheless, there are two relatively straightforward kabbalistic allusions in this verse which are worthwhile for even us to learn and have in mind while reciting it. The first letters of the words "Pote'ah Et Yadecha" – Peh, Alef, Yod – spell a Name of Hashem that is associated with His providing us with Parnasa. Another Name is formed by the final letters of these words – Het, Tav, Chaf. It is recommended, when possible, to have these Names in mind while reciting this verse in the Tefila. If one recites this verse in Ashreh and then realizes that he recited it without Kavana (concentration), then he must repeat it. This is the ruling of the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909). If the person realized his mistake before he completed Ashreh, then he simply returns to the verse of "Pote'ah Et Yadecha" and continues from there. If he did not realize his mistake until he began the next chapter of Tehillim ("Hallelu-ya Haleli Nafshi"), then he should complete that chapter and then recite "Pote'ah Et Yadecha…" before beginning the following chapter ("Hallelu-ya Ki Tob Zamra"). Meaning, the verse should be inserted in between the subsequent chapters, and not in the middle of a chapter. If a person realized his mistake only later, after Pesukeh De'zimra, then he should ensure to have Kavana when reciting this verse in Ashreh before U'ba Le'sion. And if he failed to have Kavana also at that point, then he should try again while reciting Ashreh at Minha. Some Poskim maintained that one who did not recite this verse with Kavana and realized his mistake only later should repeat it after the Amida, but Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that it suffices to ensure to recite it with Kavana in Ashreh before U'ba Le'sion. The Ben Ish Hai and the Hesed La'alafim (Rav Eliezer Papo, 1785-1828) write that when one needs to repeat this verse, he should begin two verses earlier, from "Somech Hashem Le'chol Ha'nofelim." From the Shulhan Aruch and other Poskim, however, it appears that it suffices to recite just "Pote'ah Et Yadecha…" This is the view of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Yalkut Yosef. Nevertheless, if time allows, it is recommended to begin from "Somech Hashem Le'chol Ha'nofelim." Some noted the distinction drawn by Halacha between one who recites "Pote'ah Et Yadecha" without Kavana, and one who recites the first blessing of the Amida without Kavana. While one of course must endeavor to concentrate throughout the entire Amida, one must minimally have Kavana while reciting the first Beracha. Nevertheless, the Halacha is that if one did not have Kavana during the first blessing, he does not repeat the Amida, because of the likelihood that he will not concentrate the second time, either. When it comes to "Pote'ah Et Yadecha," however, as we have discussed, one who recited this verse without Kavana is required to repeat it. Two explanations are given for this distinction. First, quite simply, it is far easier to concentrate while reciting a single verse, and so there is little reason to think that one who did not have Kavana while reciting this verse during Ashreh will not have Kavana when he repeats it. Additionally, Halacha is always more careful when it comes to the recitation of Berachot, given the prohibition against reciting a Beracha in vain. Therefore, a person who did not have Kavana during the first Beracha of the Amida is told not to repeat the Amida due to the concern that he will not concentrate the second time, and the blessings of the Amida will then have been recited in vain. When reciting a verse from Tehillim, however, there is no such concern, and thus the person should repeat the verse despite the possibility that he will not concentrate. It is customary to open one's hands when reciting this verse, which speaks of Hashem opening His hands to give us our livelihood. This is done to symbolize our preparedness to receive the blessing that G-d bestows. Of course, we do not need to actually open our hands to receive the Beracha, but we nevertheless perform this action as a visual expression of our desire to receive Hashem's blessings. The Ben Ish Hai writes that one should open his hands horizontally, side to side, without lifting them up in the air. Some stand for the recitation of "Pote'ah Et Yadecha," but this is not our practice. Summary: One must have Kavana (concentration) when reciting the verse "Pote'ah Et Yadecha…" in Ashreh during the prayer service. If one realized during Ashreh that he had recited this verse without Kavana, then he must go back to recite it with Kavana, and then proceed from there. If he remembers after Ashreh, then he should add this verse in between chapters of Pesukeh De'zimra. According to some opinions, if the person did not realize his mistake until after Pesukeh De'zimra, then he should repeat the verse after the Amida. Others maintain that he should just ensure to have Kavana during Ashreh before U'ba Le'sion. If one needs to repeat this verse, it is preferable to begin two verses earlier, from "Somech Hashem Le'chol Ha'nofelim." It is customary to open one's hands while reciting "Pote'ah Et Yadecha." They should be opened only horizontally, side to side, and not lifted in the air.

On today's program, Episode 185, this is Part 2 of a continued dialogue I had with Andre Roosma of the Netherlands, discussing what is often referred to as Paleo-Hebrew. We will explore the Hebrew language's pictographic roots and fundamental concepts that underlie the earliest known script of the biblical laws and narratives, delving deeper into the pictographic meanings of Hebrew as the language spoken by Abraham, Moses, and David. Today's program will provide an overview of the Hebrew letters from "Heh" to "Tav," including their pictographic forms and meanings. Join me now for my discussion with Andre Roosma as we delve into the rich nuances of biblical texts, exploring their pictographic notions.

The Gemara in Masechet Menahot (43) cites a verse in the Book of Debarim (10:12) in which Moshe Rabbenu turns to Beneh Yisrael and says, "Ma Hashem Elokecha Sho'el Me'imach" – "What does Hashem your G-d ask of you?" Moshe proceeds to explain that Hashem asks that we fear Him and obey His commands. The Gemara, however, comments that the word "Ma" in this verse may be read as "Me'a" – one hundred. This means that we are required to recite 100 Berachot each day, and this is what Hashem wants from us. It seems from the Gemara that source of this obligation is the word "Ma," which is read as though it is written "Me'a." Some commentators, however, understood the Gemara's inference from this verse differently. The Shiboleh Ha'leket (Rav Sidkiya Ben Abraham Ha'rofeh, Italy, 13 th century) noted that this verse contains 100 letters, and thus the Sages found in this verse an allusion to the requirement of 100 daily blessings. In truth, this verse contains only 99 letters, but since the Gemara reads the word "Ma" as "Me'a," which contains an additional letter (an Alef), the total reaches 100. Others explain that this inference is based on the "Atbash" system, whereby a letter can be substituted with its corresponding letter at the opposite end of the alphabet (e.g. Alef is replaced by Tav; Bet is replaced by Shin, Gimmel is replaced by Resh, etc.). In the system of "Atbash," the letters that form the word "Ma" – Mem and Heh – become Yud and Sadi, which have the combined numerical value of 100, alluding to the 100 daily Berachot. Another allusion to this requirement is found in the verse in Tehillim (128:4), "Hineh Ki Chen Yeborach Gaber Yereh Hashem" ("Behold, this is how a G-d-fearing man shall be blessed"). The word "Ki" in Gematria equals 30, and the word "Chen" equals 70, for a total of 100, such that the phrase "Ki Chen Yeborach Gaber" may be read to mean that a man should recite 100 Berachot. As the Gemara inferred this requirement from a verse in the Torah, we might conclude that this constitutes a Biblical obligation, mandated by the Torah. This is, in fact, the view taken by the Ba'al Halachot Gedolot, in his listing of the 613 Misvot. Rav Shlomo Ibn Gabirol, in his "Azharot" poem which lists the 613 Biblical commands following the view of the Behag (and which we customarily chant on Shabuot), makes reference to this requirement ("U'mi'berachot Tasmid Me'at Ha'nigmarim"). By contrast, the Rambam maintained that this obligation was enacted later, by the Sages. The Sefer Ha'yere'im (Rav Eliezer of Metz, France, 1140-1237) similarly maintained that this requirement was instituted by the Ansheh Kenesset Ha'gedola ("Men of the Great Assembly") at the beginning of the Second Commonwealth. According to this view, the inference from the verse in Debarim is meant as an allusion to a law enacted by the Sages, and is not the actual source of this requirement. A third opinion is that of the Shiboleh Ha'leket and others, who maintained that this obligation was verbally transmitted as a "Halacha Le'Moshe Mi'Sinai" – a law taught to Moshe at Sinai, without having been written in the Torah. At first glance, we might question the view of the Behag and Shiboleh Ha'leket based on the Midrash's comment that it was King David who instituted the recitation of 100 Berachot each day. The Midrash relates that a devastating plague ravaged the nation during the reign of King David, killing 100 people every day. David determined that to end the plague, everyone must recite 100 daily blessings. (David later refers to himself as "Hukam Al" (Shemuel II 23:1), which could be read to mean, "the one who established 'Al,' as the word "Al" in Gematria equals 100, an allusion to the 100 Berachot which David instituted.) Seemingly, if this constitutes a Biblical obligation, or a requirement transmitted orally since the time of Moshe Rabbenu, then there would be no need for David to introduce this law. The answer, it would seem, is that the people were lax in their fulfillment of this obligation, and so David ordered the people to be more scrupulous in this regard and ensure to recite 100 blessings every day. A fascinating theory regarding the origins of this obligation was advanced by Rav Aharon Amarillo (1700-1772), in his work Peneh Aharon. He writes that Moshe Rabbenu instituted the requirement to recite 100 Berachot each day at the time of the construction of the Mishkan. The wooden planks that formed the structure of the Mishkan were inserted into "Adanim" – sockets embedded in the ground. In all, there were one hundred sockets, which together formed the base and foundation of the Mishkan. The word "Me'a," Rav Amarillo writes, is an acrostic representing the words "Me'at Adneh Ha'Mishkan" – "the one hundred sockets of the Mishkan." The 100 daily blessings were instituted to correspond to the 100 sockets of the Mishkan. The question naturally arises, what connection is there between the "Adanim" and Berachot? Why are the 100 daily blessings associated with the sockets that formed the base of the Mishkan? We can perhaps answer this question based a discussion by Rav Yosef Salant (Jerusalem, 1885-1981), in his Be'er Yosef, regarding the symbolism of the "Adanim." He writes that the Mishkan itself represents the Misvot that the Torah commands us to observe, and the sockets represent the foundation of it all, the pillar upon which the entire Torah rests. And that pillar, Rav Salant explains, is Emuna – faith in Hashem. Our faith in Hashem as the Creator who governs and controls everything is the foundation upon which all of Torah is based. If so, then we can perhaps understand the association between the "Adanim" and the Berachot that we recite. Numerous times each day, we are required to take a few moments and recite a Beracha, with Kavana (concentration), reminding ourselves of Hashem's involvement in the world and in our lives. Indeed, the word "Beracha" in Gematria equals 227 – the same Gematria as the word "Zecher" – "remembrance." The purpose of Berachot is to remind us of Hashem's existence and control over the world. And, in fact, the verse from which the Gemara derived this obligation tells us that what Hashem asks is "Le'yir'a Et Hashem Elokecha" – that we "fear" Hashem, meaning, that we live with an awareness of His unlimited power and His greatness. Accordingly, the 100 Berachot we recite each day are truly the ''foundation" of Torah life, as they serve to reinforce our Emuna. For good reason, then, the Berachot we recite are associated with the "Adanim," which comprised the foundation of the Mishkan and thus symbolize faith, the foundation of the entire Torah. A number of sources speak of the great reward which one earns through the proper fulfillment of this obligation – reciting 100 Berachot each day with concentration, and pronouncing each word correctly. (For example, one must ensure that the words "Baruch Ata" do not sound like "Baru Chata," and to recite "Melech Ha'olam," and not "Melecholam," skipping the syllable "Ha-.") The Ba'al Ha'Turim (Rabbenu Yaakob Ben Asher, 1270-1340) writes that those who fulfill this Misva are rewarded with long life. Commenting on the verse, "And you who cling to Hashem your G-d, you are all alive today" (Debarim 4:4), the Ba'al Ha'Turim observes the custom followed in some communities to add a crown in the Torah scroll above the letter Kof in the word "Ha'debekim" ("who are attached") in this verse. This crown, he explains, emphasizes that we attach ourselves to Hashem through the 100 blessings we recite each day – as the letter Kof in Gematria equals 100, and the reward for reciting these Berachot is "Haim Kulechem Hayom" – long life. The Seder Ha'yom (Rav Moshe Ben Machir, Safed, 16 th century) adds that when one recites a Beracha properly, the Beracha ascends to G-d in the heavens, and He takes the Beracha and embeds it into His "crown." Hashem's "crown," as it were, is made from the Berachot which we recite properly with Kavana. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995) would advise people experiencing hardship to devote themselves to the meticulous observance of this Misva, and try to recite 100 Berachot each day with proper attention and concentration. The verse from which the Gemara inferred this obligation begins with the letter Vav ("Ve'ata Yisrael") and ends with the letter Chaf ("Nafeshecha"), and these letters have the combined numerical value of 26 – the Gematria of the divine Name of "Havaya." The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) thus writes that the fulfillment of this Misva saves a person from the dreadful punishments described in the section of the "Kelalot" ("curses") in Parashat Ki-Tabo, a section in which the Name "Havaya" appears 26 times. Moreover, this section contains 98 curses, and also includes a warning about "every ailment and every punishment which is not mentioned in this book" (Debarim 28:61) – adding another two curses, for a total of 100. We protect against these 100 curses through the recitation of 100 Berachot each day. Additionally, the Zohar Hadash teaches that we remain in exile because of our failure to properly observe this requirement to recite 100 Berachot each day. It emerges, then, that our commitment to properly fulfill this obligation helps end our long, bitter exile and bring our final redemption. The Arizal taught that the 100 daily Berachot allow us to harness the power of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet – the letters that Hashem used to create the world. The 100 daily blessings are, according to Kabbalistic teaching, associated with the 22 letters, and we thus benefit from the spiritual force of these letters by properly reciting 100 Berachot every day. The Gemara in Masechet Menahot (43b) tells that Rabbi Hiyya went out of his way to purchase special foods for Shabbat and Yom Tob in order to ensure he would recite 100 Berachot. On Shabbat and Yom Tob, the Amida prayer contains far fewer blessings than the weekday Amida prayer, making it more challenging to reach a total of 100 Berachot. Rabbi Hiyya thus made a point of having additional foods on Shabbat and Yom Tob so he would have more Berachot to recite. The Hida, in his work Mahazik Beracha (290), noted the Gemara's implication that this practice marked a special measure of piety on Rabbi Hiyya's part. The Gemara appears to laud Rabbi Hiyya for his piety – indicating that this was not strictly required. The Hida thus suggests that reciting 100 Berachot each day does not constitute a strict Halachic obligation, but is rather a worthwhile practice to follow. The consensus view among the Poskim, however, is that this is indeed a strict obligation. The Petah Ha'debir (Rav Haim Binyamin Pontremoli, Turkey, d. 1872) explains that Rabbi Hiyya was praised for fulfilling the Misva at the highest standard – going out of his way to buy special delicacies, rather than buying simpler foods. But ensuring to recite 100 blessings is a strict requirement, and not just a measure of piety. Hacham Ovadia Yosef adds that there are ways to reach a total of 100 Berachot without actually reciting Berachot, but Rabbi Hiyya chose not to rely on these leniencies, and instead went out to buy food so he could recite 100 blessings on Shabbat and Yom Tob. Indeed, the Shulhan Aruch explicitly rules that one is required to recite 100 Berachot each day. The Poskim indicate that 100 Berachot is a minimum amount, and not an exact amount. Hacham Ovadia notes that from the explanation mentioned earlier associating the 100 daily Berachot with the 100 sockets beneath the Mishkan, one might conclude that we must recite precisely 100 Berachot, and no more, but this is not the Halacha. One must recite at least 100 Berachot, but certainly may recite more. The Rambam, in Hilchot Tefila, brings a custom that some observed to count the Berachot that one recites over the course of the day. This was the practice of Hacham Ovadia Yosef on Shabbat, when it is more difficult to reach a total of 100 blessings, as he wanted to ensure to fulfill this obligation. It is told that the Brisker Rav (Rav Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik, 1886-1959) would count the Berachot he recited every day, following this custom mentioned by the Rambam.
