In the traditional Jewish liturgy, a man thanks God daily for not having been made a gentile, a woman, or a slave. Yoel Kahn traces the history of this prayer from its extra-Jewish origins to the present, demonstrating how different generations and communities understood the significance of these words. Marginalized and persecuted groups used this prayer to mark the boundary between "us" and "them," affirming their own identity and sense of purpose. After the medieval Church seized and burned books it considered offensive, new, coded formulations of the three blessings emerged as forms of spiritual resistance. Book owners voluntarily expurgated the passage to save the books from being destroyed, creating new language and meaning while seeking to preserve the structure and message of the received tradition. During the Renaissance, Jewish women defied their rabbis and declared their gratitude at being "made a woman and not a man." And, as Jewish emancipation began in the nineteenth century, Jews again had to balance fealty to historical practice with their place in the world. Seeking to be recognized as modern and European, early modern Jews rewrote the liturgy to suit modern sensibilities and identified themselves with the Christian West against the historical pagan and the uncivilized infidel. The Three Blessings is an insightful and wide-ranging study of one of the most controversial Jewish prayers, showing its constantly evolving language, usage, and interpretation over the past 2,000 years.

Everyone will agree that a story needs an ending; unless a story goes somewhere, it’s pointless. The purpose of a set-up is to lead toward a conclusion, toward a destination. A story without an ending, without a purpose, is not a story worth telling. The same is true for our lives: we need a destination. We are all part of a larger story, but we’re also writing our own individual stories. Hashem created us in this world with unlimited potential, but that was only the “set-up” ― the beginning of our story. Without a purposeful destination, a clear goal, and a deeper understanding of who we are and who we are meant to be, the set-up lacks true meaning. We need to make this a meaningful journey ― a story of growth, creativity, and contribution. This book is written to help you along your personal journey, to help you become the ultimate version of yourself. As you learn through this sefer, plant the ideas within your mind and soul, and bring them to life. Make your life a meaningful journey, an extraordinary story.

Welcome to Hashem... The Name, a book of ancient discovery! Have you ever wondered why God is referred to as God or Lord? Or wondered if God has a name, a personal name. How did our redeemer (Messiah) come to have the name known worldwide in the assemblies today? As children, we accept the traditions of our parents and even pass them down to our children, but what is the truth of our savior's name? As adults, we must investigate with a sincere heart if we truly want to please our Creator. In this book, the investigation has been completed. This author encourages all to verify this research! Hashem... The Name outlines the model of Moshe/Moses, who received the first revelation of the name of the Hebrew God. He then revealed to the Israelites who were in bondage in Egypt and Pharaoh, their captor. This name is not to be forgotten but remembered, spoken, prayed to, and worshipped. Moshe brought the Israelites to Mount Sinai, where our Creator further revealed himself and his instructions written by his finger on stone tablets, today known as the Ten Commandments. Our Creator is holy and looks for his people to follow his direction. In this book, our savior is introduced as King and the Jewish redeemer, echoing our Creator's instructions with better promises. Today, society has wandered and strayed from the Creator. This book will emphasize the basic tenets of the biblical faith of our forefathers. Enemies of the faith tear down these laws from buildings. Our Creator's master plan is to place his laws upon our heart, written in like manner, by the Spirit of the Highest, never to be erased by man.
