Rabbi Eli Silberstein

Tractate Brachot is the first tractate of Seder Zeraim of the Mishnah, the first major text of Jewish law. It primarily addresses the rules regarding the Shema, the Amidah, Birkat Hamazon, Kiddush, Havdalah and other blessings and prayers. It is the only tractate in Zeraim to have a Gemara from both the Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmud.

We’ve all experienced that “uh-oh” moment, when we realize we accidentally did something wrong. Is there a way in Judaism to atone for such a thing? Rabbi Eli Silberstein explains the concepts, practices and importance of teshuvah- repentance.
