Jerusalem/Mashiach-n this class we will look at the 14th and 15th blessings of the Shemoneh Esrei (Amida).

I answer these questions and more:

Both blessings refer to Mashiach. Why are they two separate berachot?

Why were the Men of the Great Assembly praying for Jerusalem if they had just returned to Jerusalem?

Are we supposed to act on this prayer and rebuild Jerusalem ourselves?

Who is the Messiah?

This week, we will learn that we need three judges to extend a month or make a leap year. We will also learn the reasons for making a year a leap year. The Gemara teaches that 3 judges are needed to give ordination (semicha) to a Rabbi.

Tzadikim (‘the righteous’)-Some of the questions we will consider as we learn about the 13th blessing of the Amida (Shemoneh Esrei):

What is the difference between the pious, the elders and the remnant of the scholars?

Why are converts explicitly mentioned – are they not included in the other categories of righteous?

If we are praying for the righteous, why do we include ourselves?

Against Heretics: In this class the blessing which begins Velamalshinim…

Some of the questions I’ll attempt to answer:

* Why was there a need for this extra blessing?
* Who was Shmuel Hakatan and why was he the only one who could write this text?
* When we say this prayer nowadays, who are we talking about?

For our last class in Masechet Bava Batra, we will learn that the lender must write a new document if a loan is partially paid back. The Masechet ends by discussing guarantors who sign loan documents and who is responsible for paying back the loan.
