The Yotzerot: A Study in Early Jewish Hymnography
I recently discovered your shiurim. They are fantastic, there is no such material on the web, or in my yeshiva, at all. Two questions: is there any (near?) equivalent in Hebrew? Are there summary notes?
Hi! It's great to have you join! 1) if there is I haven't yet found it 2) I try to quote my sources exactly, but adding publicly available notes would complicate my prep significantly. Please reach out if you want to begin this area of research and I'll be happy to guide you and provide you with material.
@@TefilahUnpacked Thank you! Unfortunately I do not have enough time to create such notes. But I do take some notes for myself here, maybe once I catch up all the lessons, I'll share them. Shana tova!
Thanks for the shiur! Do you know the tefilla of the [Spanish}-Portuguese kehilla of Amsterdam? [Most Kabbala was deleted]
As I am starting to lehitpalel more than before I appreciate these commentary! I wish I had more time to do the tefilah. Kol hakavod!

Which siddur are you using in this tutorial? PLEASE!
I want to become a cantor so I need to learn as much as I can. Thank you for the explanations.
Thank you!
On several levels you need to learn technically how to make a video lecture. In fact, even for a live lecture, technically you need a few lessons. A lecture is NOT about YOUR knowledge or YOUR information. A lecture is the COMMUNICATION of knowledge and ideas.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for this series-- it's amazing! On tehilah l'daveed (often referred to as "ashrei": the two lines before Tehila L'Daveed are both from different Psalms. The first אשרי line is from Psalm 84:5; the 2nd אשרי line is from Psalm 144:15. After that is the acrostic that starts with Tehila l'daveed. I'm wondering if you could mention how those two prior lines became connected to T'hilah L'daveed, and when that happened. And also in T'hilah L'daveed was the original acrostic written with the verse starting with נ (letter nun) & then it was removed or was there never a נ verse at any time?
See the class Medieval Additions to Pesukei D'Zimrah where I covered this topic.
I will listen to it again. Thank you for your reply and for this amazing series. חזק וברוך!
Really enjoying your amazing work! I was hoping you would mention something about the Tichlal version (Temani minhag) which is the only one I've found that ends Yishtabakh with Shem AND Malchut.
I missed this, will look into it. Thank you!
Black magic..
This is a genuinely excellent history lecture.
Thank you!
Fantastic class; thank you so much for teaching this and sharing this wealth of information about our prayers for all to access on here.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for this amazing history. SO rich. Much appreciated. Toda RAba
Love the videos. I recommend them on my own page for more in-depth analysis into the siddur. Thanks for sharing

BH! Great shiur BH thank you! can you reccomend any books that talk about the korbanot more in depth- for someone whom has not read the books about it beyond the basics ? TYn
Korbanot as a liturgical rubric or as a form of cult worship?
Toda Rabat. Am Y'Israel Chai
Yes
לכן אין דבר מלבד אהבה רק אהבה מדברת רק אהבה יוצרת רק אהבה רואה רק אהבה ערה המסתורין של האהבה הוא שהמאהב הופך לאחד שהוא אוהב
A few corrections: 1) R' Yehudai Gaon was leading the Yeshiva during the Abbasid Caliphate, not the Sassanid Empire. 2) The Arizal Siddur study is called Tefilat Chaim, not Birkat Refael. 3) The volcano reference was not meant to link a direct cause of literary slowdown. The point I was trying to convey was that we shouldn't be surprised by a literary slowdown from Jews (that are averse to writing Oral Torah in the first place) during a very difficult century. A notable exception of this time are the Classical Payytanim, although their output was not usually Halachic in nature.
