54 POKEACH Ivrim — More Than Opening Our Eyes
May 24, 2026
Episode Description
In this episode of Tefilah Today, we explore the morning blessing Pokeach Ivrim — “Who opens the eyes of the blind.” Why does the Siddur use the word pokeach, and what does it teach us about seeing beyond physical sight? Through Torah sources and the structure of Birchos HaShachar, we discover how this brachah asks Hashem to help us see our day, our role, and our lives with greater clarity.
