Tefillah Summary: Week 11

אתה חונן לאדם דעת
YOU FAVOR MAN WITH KNOWLEDGE

We cannot forget that it is only You, Hashem, who favored us with the immense gift of דעת. With דעת, we are capable of enjoying happiness both in this life and in the eternal life of Olam Haba.
 
ומלמד לאנוש בינה
AND TEACH A PERSON UNDERSTANDING
The elevated “Enosh”, the man with דעת, can further gain בינה by means of his own effort and learning. But even that which we learn on our own we know is being taught to us only by You, Hashem.
 
חננו מאתך (דעה בינה והשכל)
FAVOR US, FROM YOU, (KNOWLEDGE UNDERSTANDING AND WISE CONDUCT)
We beg of You, Hashem, to favor us with all facets of knowledge, understanding, and True Awareness, for it is all a gift “מאתך”, completely and solely from You, Hashem.
 
חננו מאתך דעה בינה והשכל
FAVOR US, FROM YOU, KNOWLEDGE (דעה) UNDERSTANDING AND WISE CONDUCT
Please grant us the True and tangible Knowledge, along with the capacity to understand and crystalize knowledge, and bestow upon us the ability to conduct ourselves with wisdom, so that we may reach the heights of perfection of True Knowledge, the sole purpose of our lives.
