Barukh she'amar
Jewish morning prayer
Barukh she'amar (Hebrew: בָּרוּךְ שֶׁאָמַר, romanized: bāruḵ šeʾāmar, lit. 'Blessed is He who said' or other variant English spellings), is the opening blessing to pesukei dezimra, a recitation in the morning prayer in Rabbinic Judaism. As with many texts in Judaism, it takes its name from the opening words of the prayer.
According to authorities beginning with Jacob ben Asher, the prayer must be sung to a melody;[1] according to authorities beginning with Or Zarua II , it should be said standing.
According to Or Zarua II, the Barukh she'amar contains 87 words, which number is the gematria of the Hebrew word paz (פ״ז) meaning "refined gold.".[2] An alternative text is printed in some Sephardic prayer books, often alongside the more common version.
