Video Summary
AI GeneratedAyelet, a native Hebrew speaker, provides a tutorial on the Modeh Ani, a traditional Jewish prayer of gratitude recited every morning upon waking. The video guides viewers through the meaning, gender-specific variations, and the correct syllable-by-syllable pronunciation of the prayer.
Shalom, this is Ayelet. I was born and raised in Israel and Hebrew is my native language.
In this video, I will teach you how to say a traditional Jewish prayer called the Modeh Ani.
According to rabbinical Judaism, every morning God renews each person as a new creation,
which is why the Modeh Ani prayer is traditionally recited every morning,
even before getting out of bed. This is a prayer of gratitude,
thanking God for the life He's given us every day.
Hebrew is read from right to left, and as you can see,
each word is transliterated so you can learn how to say it,
and translated so you can understand what it means within the context.
I will go over each word very slowly, pronouncing each syllable.
Then I will repeat the complete word. My cursor will follow the Hebrew letters,
but I recommend that as we read, pay attention to the transliteration
and translation below each word, so it will all make sense to you.
For more details on my transliteration method and to learn to read and pronounce
any pointed Hebrew text, watch the video on my Hebrew Pronunciation Chart.
The chart and all my posters are also available for purchase on my website

Okay, so let's begin.
When saying this prayer, men will start with the word Modeh, and women with the word Modah.
