Amen!

Hi,

One to ponder; this lesson does not have an easy explanation:

"Rabbi Yosi said: One who responds 'Amen' to a blessing is greater than the one who recited the blessing in the first place...

"This is actually subject to debate, for we have another lesson, 'Both the one reciting a blessing and the one responding 'Amen' are performing great deeds, but it is better to rush to be the one who recites the blessing.'"

(Talmud, Nazir 66b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
