Dear All

Shalom.

I hope that all of you had great festivals.

I am glad to release Part 21 titled “Blessings on Nature and Natural Wonders – 1 of 3” of my series “PRAYING WITH UNDERSTANDING”.

I could not have found a better time to compile this article as we began reading last week “Bereishith”, the first book of Torah, which begins with the creation of the Universe.

I am hence quoting the verses from Bereishith, on purpose, as a base for explanation of the Blessings.

I am achieving two purposes by this way, that our Torah’s writings about the creation of our  universe are being brought before you while the blessings are being studied.

I pray that this article enlightens you.

I look forward to your comments and your help to spread the word.

I wish to again thank Mr. Pinhas Benjamin Solomon for providing me with the Hebrew text of the blessings.

Thanks and best regards

Raymond Jacob Ramrajkar.
