About this episode
Rabbi Shulman discusses the debate over 'ברכת השיר' in the Seder and its connections to praise in the Torah.
Rabbi Shulman analyzes the Mishnah and Gemara’s debate over what “ברכת השיר” is at the end of the Seder, explaining why many Haggadot incorporate both יהללוך and נשמת כל חי. He then focuses on a precise claim in the Gemara: within יהללוך there are specifically **eight** concentrated expressions of praise, and this “eight” aligns with a broader Torah pattern where songs are introduced by **אז** (whose letters total eight). Rabbi Shulman closes by introducing a Midrash (R. Akiva) about Hashem “wearing” a garment engraved with all the occurrences of אז in the Torah—torn after sin and restored in the future—setting up how the Maharal will interpret this symbolism.
