Reciting the morning blessings
|
|
|
Based on the gematria for the word Tzaddik (“righteous one”), the sages taught that Jews should respond with “Amen” to no less than 90 blessings (Tsade = 90), recite Kedushah (“Holy, holy, holy...”) four times (Dalet = 4), say Kaddish ten times (Yod = 10), and recite 100 blessings (Qof = 100) -- every day! (Berachot 60b)
In addition to the blessings that are recited as part of every observant Jew’s day, the Shacharit Service includes a series of blessings that are recited as part of the morning service.
