אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ, בְּטֶרֶם כָּל יְצוּר נִבְרָא.לְעֵת נַעֲשָׂה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹּל, אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא.
וְאַחֲרֵי כִּכְלוֹת הַכֹּל, לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלֹךְ נוֹרָאוְהוּא הָיָה וְהוּא הֹוֶה, וְהוּא יִהְיֶה בְּתִפְאָרָה.
וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי, לְהַמְשִׁיל לוֹ לְהַחְבִּירָה.בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית, וְלוֹ הָעֹז וְהַמִּשְׂרָה.
וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גֹּאֲלִי, וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּעֵת צָרָה.וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוֹס לִי, מְנָת כּוֹסִי בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא.
בְּיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי, בְּעֵת אִישַׁן וְאָעִירָה.וְעִם רוּחִי גְּוִיָּתִי, יְיָ לִי וְלֹא אִירָא׃
Lord of the world, Who reigned before any being was created: At the time when, at His desire, all things were made, He was proclaimed King.
And after all will cease to be, He, the Awesome One, alone will reign. He was, He is, and He will be – in splendor.
He is one; there is no other to liken to Him, to partner with Him. Without beginning and without end; might and dominion are His.
He is my God and my ever-living Redeemer; the Rock of my lot in time of distress.
He is my Banner, and a Refuge for me; [He will provide] my allotted portion on the day I call.
Into His hand I entrust my spirit, when I sleep and when I waken. And with my spirit, my body; God is with me, I shall not fear.

0:00 Class 006 Modeh Ani Part 02
0:27 We thank G-d for returning to me my soul (not just for giving me life) Why we thank G-d for my Jewish soul specifically? That the very first thing we think about is G-d.
2:18 What does it mean for a Jew to have life (LeChaim)?
4:12 The Modeh Ani hints at the resurrection. This enforces our faith and belief in the 13th principle of the Jewish faith, the ultimate resurrection.
5:22 What’s the connection between waking up in the morning and the resurrection which is a total renewal? Waking up in the morning allows to experience G-d’s constant renewal of the world, a brand new day. G-d gives us the gift of experiencing the constant renewal of everything, including the physical body.
12:02 Is G-d obligated to return our soul to us? The Halacha of someone who owes you money and gives you something of value to watch for him. Rational and irrational Mitzvoth.
21:14 The Modeh Ani contains the idea of something new. Everything is a reflection of something else, is there anything new? Where’s the “I” (the ego) comes from, it feels like no beginning? Where’s the "Ani" i.e. “I” is coming from?

0:00 Class 005 Modeh Ani Part 01 1:14 The first thing a jew does when he/ she wakes up in the morning. 1:46 In the times of the Talmud upon wake up they immediately started with the blessing, but we can only say a prayer but not a blessing. 3:52 Way can we say a prayer but not a blessing upon waking up? 4:15 Why is Modeh Ani a pryer? we’re not asking for anything, we’re just praising G-d 4:38 The Talmud layout the order of prayer: Praise, Petition, and Thanks. 5:57 Rabbe Saadia Gaoen writes that each of the 3 parts (Praise, Petition, and Thanks) also be considered as a prayer. He brings proof from Chanah’s prayer (in the book of Shemuel). 7:10 How do you fulfill the Mitzvah of prayer on Shabbat? (we’re not allowed to petition for our personal needs) 8:36 How will we pray when Mashiach will come? (we will need to petition for anything at that time), yet the Rabbis says the only sacrifice left will be the thanksgiving sacrifice. 10:07 The Alter Rebbe’s introduction to the first prayer (upon waking up). 10:29 Modeh Ani 10:50 The correct way to read the Modeh Ani 11:21 Handing our souls to G-d, handover a tired soul and we get back a fresh soul 12:03 Why there’s a dot between the Modeh Ani and ‘Your faithfulness is great’? Everything is contained in the dot of the Modeh Ani. 13:59 What is the meaning of Modeh Ani? (Thanking but also Admitting) 16:18 A jew immediately makes a connection between waking up and the reality of G-d. From me to you. From the microcosm to the Macrocosm. 18:41 The foundation of Judaism is thanking, we are guests in G-d’s word, and we can’t thank him enough. I don’t own anything. 21:26 Why is the first moment of a Jew is the conscious of thanking G-d? Why we say the Modeh Ani even without G-d’s name? 23:52 Explaining the deeper meaning of what the ‘Modeh Ani’ is about. The Halachic differentiation between a Mitzvah and a sin. If a Jew does a sin without intention it is not considered a valuation, but a Mitzvah without intention is considered a fulfilled Mitzvah (examples: stepping on the grass on Shabbat, leading a moseyed animal through a shortcut, forcing the Kohen to divorce)
