The Final Test (Parasha: Lech Lecha)
Yosef Tropper 30/10/2009 09:58“...and you (Avraham) will be a blessing.” (12:2) Rashi tells us that in this verse we learn out the construction of Shmoneh Esrey. Each of the Avos is mentioned in the first blessing of Shmoneh Esrey, but the blessing concludes by only mentioning Avraham (“Magen Avraham, the shield of Abraham”).
