The Shemoneh Esrei In Depth with Rabbi David Sedley: Episode 1
Introduction to Jewish prayer and shemoneh esrei: In this episode we look at the origins of set prayer and the history and evolution of the text of the Amida, or Shemoneh Esrei.
We trace the history of a set text from the Men of the Great Assembly to Rabban Gamliel and Yavneh, and look at sources that state there were 17, 18 or 19 blessings in the Amida.
