Abstract:
This article discusses the wording for the Ahavah (love) blessing ofrecitation of the Shema in the evening prayer. During the first decades ofthe study of the Genizah, scholars published only a few unique and semipoetic variants of this blessing, focusing on texts that were substantiallydifferent from the variants that are common in printed prayer-books. Byexamining more than 90 prayer-book fragments from the Cairo Genizah,we were able to depict a solid description of the variants that were usedin the prayers and the variant's distribution. The analysis shows threedistinctive branches. One branch, which includes the majority of thefragments, is associated with the Babylonian rite. One of the other twobranches, associated with the Palestinian rite, is notably similar to theBabylonian variant. The connections between the variants lead to theconclusion that they all developed from one earlier version, which, at thispoint, we cannot date.
