03. רבון העולמים Class Three. The class began with reading the most unusual version of ר’ יעקב עמדין. The class as a whole explores the Alter Rebbe’s Nusach.

02. רבון העולמים Class Two. Examining relative נוסחאות. A) How Hashem is addressed: רבון העולמים or רבון כל העולמים or רבונו של עולם, a personal G-d or the Creator of all.

אנא בכח .02 Class Two. This class has two points: 1) Three suggested locations for this prayer [A. after Abayey, B. Before Baruch SHeumar, C.

אנא בכח 01 Version two. אנא בכח Class One. Introduction, this is שם מ”ב which is a name of גבורה or ascent, like קדיש. When one goes from one world to another he says קדיש. And on occasion this is replaced by אנא בכח. Some connect it to creation and place it before ברוך שאמר…
