Every Monday evening, 7:30pm @ CKI
Join us as we continue our journey focused completely on the topic of blessings. A fundamental importance of Judaism and Halacha are to know the correct Brocho (blessing) appropriate for a given situation.
Class is open to men and women. No cover. Light refreshments.
Based on the book, -a Halachik masterpiece- titled (in Hebrew): Birchas Hanehenin, and authored by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi sometime during the years 1771-1812. The volume deals specifically with the blessings that are recited over foodstuffs (such as wine, bread and fruit), Fragrances (such as the scent of a rose), thanksgiving (such as the birth of a child), and praise (that one would recite on recovering from a serious illness).
Classes will be text base and will begin with the foundation of blessings from their original sources.
Beginning with the order of preceding blessings such as which preceding blessing exempts which other? When may and should, one exempt one blessing with another? Conditions under which the exemption takes place. The order of concluding blessings (grace after meals or Bentching), Exemptions in case of doubt, Exemptions though wine an-d bread, “Normal” breads vs. “other” breads and their respective blessings, When the principle and secondary food items are mixed together (e.g. crackers/bread & cream cheese, jelly doughnuts (chanukah) and much more.
