| Jan 11, 2018 at 20:26 | comment | added | hazoriz | +1 (for the sources)(related sefaria.org/Menachot.43b.52 ) in Judaism there is hierarchy, just because the lower level has an advantage which the higher level does not have (which might always be the case), it still stays on its level | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 19:58 | comment | added | Yaacov Deane | And see the related question from Mi Yodeya. Many people clearly think these blessings reflect this context. judaism.stackexchange.com/q/36902/7303 | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 19:56 | comment | added | Yaacov Deane | I don't understand what you are asking. See this article quoting Rabbi Eliyahu Kitov. chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/2463526/jewish/… | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 19:51 | comment | added | DanF | In some blessings, it becomes "emphatic" to phrase this in the negative. E.g. - "You didn't make me a woman" - meaning, I'm thankful that I have the obligation to do time-bound mitzvoth - something that women are not obligated to do. This wouldn't convey the same idea as saying the positive, "You made me a man." I gather that all the other negatives convey a similar emphatic concept. | |
| Jan 11, 2018 at 19:44 | comment | added | mevaqesh | In that context, when the blessings recount not making me these things, what are we thankful for and why Why do you think that the usage in the blessing reflects that context? | |
