Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.
Why are some Brachot in 2nd person and some in 3rd?
The texts of brachot were composed and codified over time and by different people so the simple answer to this question is "because" with no further explanation. But I'd like to believe that there is some sort of guiding priciple involved.
Why are some brachot in second person and some are in third? All the pre-food brachot are in second person except shehakol. We have "she'otcha levadcha" and we have "asher bidvaro." Shouldn't there be some sort of consistency?
