In this session, the last one of our short course, we will first look at the last of the intermediate blessings, שמע קולנו.
Following this we will study the last group of blessings in the Shemoneh Esreh/Amidah to try to understand how they belong together and to make suggestions as to what they are really about.
I am not posting any new sources for this class. As I indicated last time, in the first minutes of the class we will finish the discussion of the meaning of one of the phrases of the blessing (bakasha) for the Mashiach. You can find the source slides for that discussion in last week’s posting, at the end of the slides.
