Blessed 1 The word "blessed" is similar in concept to the words: "merciful" or "gracious" when applied to God. Just as merciful means that He is merciful, the source of mercy; so too, blessed means that He is the source of blessing.— Avudraham are You, Adonoy 2 Generally speaking, the name Adonoy is understood as it is pronounced—Adonoy—my Master, and indicates His rule and providence of the universe. When reciting the Shema however, one should bear in mind the written character of the Name which indicates God's everpresent existence. He was—is—and ever will be.— Vilna Gaon our God, King of the Universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the washing of hands.

Blessed are You, Adonoy our God, King of the Universe, Who formed man with wisdom 3 This may mean either that man was formed by God's wisdom, or that God formed man and endowed him with wisdom. and created within him openings and hollows. It is obvious and known in the presence of Your glorious throne 4 In refutation of those who claim that God is not concerned with earthly matters, we declare that even in the presence of His glorious throne, where He is surrounded by myriads of angels, He is aware of the mundane needs of each individual.— Vilna Gaon that if one of them were ruptured, or if one of them were blocked, it would be impossible to exist and stand in Your Presence even for a short while. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Who heals all flesh and performs wonders.

My God! the soul which You bestowed in me is pure; You created it, You formed it, You breathed it into me and You preserve it within me. You will eventually take it from me, and restore it in me in the time to come. 5 This statement refers to the time when the dead will be resurrected. So long as the soul is within me I give thanks to You, Adonoy my God, 6 Thus it is said, "I will praise Adonoy with my life, I will sing to my God with my being" (Psalms 146:2). and God of my fathers, Lord of all creatures, Master of all souls. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Who restores souls to dead bodies. 7 This is a reference to God's restoring of the soul each morning following its departure while the person sleeps.

Our God and God of our fathers, remember us favorably before You and be mindful of us for deliverance and compassion from the eternal high heavens. Remember in our behalf, Adonoy, our God: the love of our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants; the covenant, the kindness, and the oath which You swore to our father Abraham on Mount Moriah, and the binding of Isaac, his son on the altar, as it is written in Your Torah. 1 Genesis 22:1-19.

After these events, 2 These events refer to the previous nine tests by which God tested Abraham. This was to be the tenth and the most difficult test of all.— Ha'amek Dovor God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" and he [Abraham] said, "Here I am." He said, "Please, take your son, your only one, 3 Isaac was Abraham's only son by Sarah. whom you love—Isaac— and go to the land of Moriah, and bring him up as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will designate to you. Abraham awoke early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took his two attendants 4 Ishmael and Eliezer.— Rashi with him, and also his son Isaac. He split the wood of the burnt-offering, and rose up, and went to the place that God had designated to him. On the third day, Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place from afar. Abraham said to his attendants, You stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go to that place. We will prostrate ourselves [in worship] and return 5 Abraham unwittingly prophesied that both of them would return.— Rashi to you." And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering and placed it on his son Isaac. In his hand he took the fire and the knife, 6 The Hebrew word is ma'acheles (root: אכל = to eat) which means that it renders meat fit for eating through slaughtering the animal. Another interpretation is: his knife is called ma'acheles because we still enjoy (eat) the reward of Abraham's virtue when he agreed to use it to slaughter his son.— Rashi and they both went together. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "Father," and he said, "Here I am my son." He said, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt-offering?" Abraham said, God Himself will show the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went together. 7 Although Isaac understood that he was going to be slaughtered, "They went together"—with like hearts.— Rashi They came to the place that God had designated to him, and Abraham built the 8 The Torah says that he built "the" altar not just "an" altar, to indicate that Abraham rebuilt the same altar which was originally built by Adam and used by Cain, Abel and by Noah.— Targum Yonoson ben Uziel altar there, and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac, and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood. Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. An angel of Adonoy called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham! Abraham!" and he said, "Here I am." He [God] said, Do not harm the boy, nor do anything to him; for now I know that you are one who fears God and have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me." Abraham raised his eyes and beheld a ram 9 Tradition tells us that this ram was prepared for this purpose from the time of creation. Rashi (in Maseches Avos 5:6) after it had been caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and brought it up as a burnt-offering instead of his son. Abraham called the name of that place, Adonoy will see; 10 The Midrash interprets the following: "God will see the binding of Isaac and through its merit He will pardon Israel every year and rescue them from trouble. It will thus be said, "On this day," by all generations that the ashes of Isaac are seen by God and serve as our atonement.— Rashi as it is said [to] this day On Adonoy's mountain, He will be seen. An angel of Adonoy called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, ‘I have sworn by Myself,' declares Adonoy, ‘that because you performed this deed, and did not withhold your only son, I will greatly bless you and make your descendants as numerous 11 11 If these blessings were intended to increase the population of Abraham's descendants, it was superfluous, since God had previously blessed him for that purpose. God here blessed the descendants of Abraham with the nobility of spirit and courage to fulfill the command to sanctify God even when self-sacrifice is required. Only the nation of Israel, Abraham's children, were commanded to fulfill this mitzvoh, because of the legacy we inherited from him.— Ha'amek Dovor. as the stars of the sky and like the sand on the seashore, and your descendants will inherit the gate of their enemies. All the nations of the world will be blessed Through your children, because you heeded My voice.'" Abraham returned to his attendants, and they rose and went together to Beer Sheva, and Abraham dwelt in Beer Sheva.

Master of the Universe! May it be Your will Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers, to recall for our sake the covenant of our fathers. Just as our father, Avraham suppressed his compassion for his only son and would have slaughtered him to do Your will, so may Your compassion suppress Your anger against us; and may Your compassion prevail over Your [other] attributes, 1 This refers to Hashem's attribute of stern justice. to deal with us more leniently than the letter of Your law. Deal with us, Adonoy, our God, kindly and with compassion. In Your great goodness, turn Your fierce anger away from Your people, and from Your city, from Your land, and from Your territorial heritage. Fulfill for us, Adonoy, our God, the promise You made, through Your servant Moshe, as was said, 2 Vayikra 26:42. "I will recall My covenant with Yaakov, also My covenant with Yitzchak, and also My covenant with Avraham will I recall; and I will recall the land."

A person should always be in fear of God, privately as well as openly, 1 Some people conduct themselves in a God-fearing manner in the presence of others (in public), but in the privacy of their homes, do whatever they please. There are others who do just the opposite. In private they are governed by fear of God, but in the presence of others they are too embarrassed or intimidated to be God-fearing. A Jew must always fear God, in private as well as in public.— Siach Yitzchok [he should] admit the truth, 2 Acknowledging the truth is fundamental to serving God, and to all human behavior. One who is concerned merely with "winning the argument" will go to any extreme to come out on top. This attitude caused the downfall of the 250 leaders who joined Korach, rather than acknowledge the truth of Moses' declaration (Numbers 16:2-35).— Siach Yitzchok and speak truth in his heart, 3 It is not sufficient to merely acknowledge the truth verbally but one must speak truth in his heart as well. Rashi on the Talmud (Maseches Makos 24a) cites the following incident as an example of how one should speak truth in his heart: A buyer once offered to purchase an article from Rav Safra while he was reciting the Shema. Because he could not indicate his acceptance, the anxious purchaser increased his offer. Rav Safra refused the increment because in his heart he had already accepted the original offer. and rise early and proclaim:

Lord of all the worlds! Not on account of our righteousness do we offer our supplications before You, but on account of Your abundant mercy. What are we? What is our life? What are our acts of kindness? What is our righteousness? What is our deliverance? 4 Of ourselves or others. What is our strength? What is our might? What can we say before You, Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers? Are not all the mighty men as nothing before You? Famous men as though they had never been? The wise as if they were without knowledge? And men of understanding, as if they were devoid of intelligence? For most of their actions are a waste, 5 In terms of achievement.— Dover Sholom and the days of their life are trivial 6 In terms of time.— Dover Sholom in Your presence.

However, we are Your people, children of Your covenant, children of Avraham, Your beloved, 8 Others translate, "Children of Avraham who loved You." See commentaries on Yeshaya 41:8. to whom You swore on Mount Moriah; the seed of Yitzchak, his only son, who was bound on top of the altar; the community of Yaakov, Your firstborn, [whom]—because of Your love for him and Your joyous delight in him— You named him Yisrael 9 The name Yisrael symbolizes Yaakov's wandering through history proclaiming the sovereignty of Hashem, while the name Yeshurun indicates his task to fulfill Hashem's will as revealed to him, and to devote his life to the execution of that which is right in the eyes of Hashem.—S.R.

You are Adonoy, our God, in heaven and on earth, and in the highest heavens. In truth, You are First, 13 We refer to God as "First" to preclude the notion that anything existed before Him, but not to assert that He has a beginning.— Kuzari and You are Last. 14 Similarly, "Last" is used only to repudiate the idea that there is an end to His existence, not to fix a term for Him.— Kuzari And besides You there is no God. Gather the ones who hope in You from the four corners of the earth. Let all mankind recognize and know that You alone are the God 15 Elohim is a descriptive term which signifies God as ruler or judge.— Kuzari of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them. Who is there among all Your handiwork, among the heavenly or earthly creatures, that can say to You, "What are You doing?"
