Description

Birkat HaTorah reveals Torah's transformative nature. The Rambam outlines three distinct blessings: acknowledging God's command, requesting sweetness in learning, and recognizing our chosenness and the gift of Torah. This emphasizes a dual relationship: Torah as a communal inheritance and a personal, active engagement.
