The Laws of Reciting the Berakhot"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A woman who recites <em>Pesukei De-zimra<\/em> and <em>Birkhot Keri\u2019at Shema<\/em> must be careful not to interrupt by speaking between them. Since <em>Pesukei De-zimra<\/em> serves as a preparation for prayer, she must take care not to interrupt from the beginning of <em>Barukh She-amar <\/em>until the end of the <em>Amida<\/em> (SA 54:3).<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Yotzer Or<\/em>, we recite verses of <em>Kedusha<\/em>, and although it is forbidden to say <em>Kedusha<\/em> without a <em>minyan<\/em>, according to the majority of <em>poskim<\/em>, the <em>Kedusha<\/em> in <em>Yotzer Or <\/em>does not require a <em>minyan<\/em> for it is not our intention to sanctify God as individuals at that time; rather, the verses are a description of how angels sanctify God\u2019s Name (<em>Talmidei Rabbeinu Yona<\/em>, Rosh). However, <em>le-khat\u0125ila<\/em>, in order to fulfill her obligation according to all <em>poskim<\/em>, it is best that a woman who recites <em>Yotzer Or<\/em> without a <em>minyan<\/em> says them in the ritual chant for verses of Tanakh, for then she is considered to be speaking them in the manner of one studying, which all agree is permissible (<em>Terumat Ha-deshen<\/em>, SA 59:3). It is not necessary for her to know the precise cantillation melodies; rather, the main idea is that she tries to recite the words somewhat like a traditional chant so that it appears as if she is studying a book of the Prophets.<\/p>\n<p>Although the recitation of <em>Shema<\/em> and its <em>berakhot<\/em> and the recitation of the <em>Amida<\/em> are two separate <em>mitzvot<\/em>, a woman who recites them both must adjoin them; immediately upon finishing <em>Ga\u2019al Yisrael<\/em> she must begin the <em>Amida<\/em>. The Sages state that anyone who adjoins redemption to prayer indeed merits life in the next world (<em>Berakhot<\/em> 4b). If one adjoins them while praying <em>ke-vatikin <\/em>(at <em>hanetz ha-\u0125ama<\/em>), he is promised that he will not be harmed that whole day (<em>Berakhot<\/em> 9b and <em>Tosafot<\/em> <em>ad loc.<\/em>). One who interrupts between redemption and prayer is like a king\u2019s confidant who comes and knocks on the king\u2019s door, and when the king emerges to find out what he wants, the confidant leaves to take care of another matter, which then results in the king\u2019s withdrawal from him.<\/p>\n<p>The mention of Israel\u2019s redemption from Egypt is like the knock on the king\u2019s door, because the redemption demonstrates the great love God has for Israel. The Exodus is considered God\u2019s betrothal of Israel, as it were. It therefore forbidden to waste the opportunity. At this moment of closeness, we must achieve devotion through prayer and ask that God bless and redeem us like He redeemed us from Egypt (see <em>y. Berakhot <\/em>1:1).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman who recites Pesukei De-zimra and Birkhot Keri\u2019at Shema must be careful not to interrupt by speaking between them.
