Birchos Ha\u2019Shachar is the foundation of our daily prayers.<\/i><\/p>\n

We say them every morning, but have you ever wondered\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026why we thank Hashem for the rooster\u2019s intelligence every morning?<\/p>\n

\u2026why we thank Hashem for being Jewish every day?<\/p>\n

\u2026why there are separate brachos for men and women?<\/p>\n

\u2026why we have two different brachos to appreciate our eyes?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These questions and so many more are addressed in Arise & Aspire<\/b>, a clear and thought-provoking book written by Mrs. Shira Smiles<\/b> \u2014 a highly sought-after international lecturer who invites you to join her as she presents each brachah of the Birchas ha\u2019Shachar<\/i> with deeper meaning, showing us how they apply to our daily lives. Uncovering and internalizing the depth and wisdom of these brachos will not only lead the reader to a more inspired prayer, but a more inspired life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c[This] small book \u2026 will certainly foster greater appreciation of the beauty and profundity of the brachos and more importantly will increase our awareness of the Chasdei Hashem that surround us every second of the day.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Rabbi Yitzchok Breitowitz<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis work will greatly increase one\u2019s appreciation and understanding of these blessings and thus enhance one\u2019s recital of them daily to be not only lip service but true service of the heart.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Rabbi Zev Leff<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cStarting our day with [these defining] brachos will define our lives with the majesty and magic so inherent to our inner world and the universe that Hashem recreates each morning.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Mrs. Chani Juravel<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
