| Aug 14, 2015 at 16:44 | comment | added | warz3 | I saw something in Aryeh Kaplan's Meditation and Torah (I think) that said that something similar if not exact to Rabbeinu Chananel, perhaps it's both, i.e. he brought a definite order to the middle by bringing it back, or maybe he brought back the entire thing and ordered the middle. | |
| Aug 13, 2015 at 16:08 | comment | added | user613 | @warz3 Just checked up megillah. Seems very weird, that rabbenu Chananel would say differently than the gemara. He doesn't say anything about it in megillah. Maybe I'll make a new question. | |

| Aug 13, 2015 at 3:56 | comment | added | warz3 | From Wikipedia: In order to remove the discrepancies between the latter and the former assignment of editorship, the Talmud takes refuge in the explanation that the prayers had fallen into disuse, and that Gamaliel reinstituted them (Meg. 18a). | |
| Aug 13, 2015 at 3:53 | comment | added | warz3 | Both excerpts from the Gemara above recount that it was instituted, and Rashi says about the second that it was after the destruction. | |
| Aug 13, 2015 at 3:44 | comment | added | user613 | @warz3 never heard that it was instituted twice, but you might be right. | |
| Aug 13, 2015 at 3:43 | comment | added | warz3 | I've seen somewhere the seeming contradiction of how the Amidah could have been instituted twice, and the answer was that it fell out of use. | |
