The first blessing ends "Magen Avraham." The second ends "Mechayeh Hameitim."

Thank you very much for the way you teach us,
Every day I thank G-d for let me be closer to Chabad and to the Rebe.
I live in Argentina and our Jabad is the most wonderful place we have.
G-d bless you

Beautiful!, Inspirational, Wonderous!

It's good to stop, take time and reflect upon these ancient words so often spoken quickly methodically and sometimes in rote.

Moda Ani, The Shema, Kaddish sentence-Amen yehey shmey rabba ... , and now The Amidah. i am having a field day or rather you are providing it. really appreciate how you teach these in short doses.. You present a lot in a few minutes. The Amidah will be the most demanding so far due to its length, but it is off to a great start. hope to get to parts two and three this week.
Thanks so much.
