Tefillah - Magen Avraham - RDK

We 'take' trumah
We don't give trumah
If you believe you are only giving trumah then you are just building for yourself - this is avoda zara.
You 'take' because it already belongs to Gd.
It's a commandment.
This is his world
We are his funnel
We are his channel

1st bracha is Avraham - Magen Avraham
Thank you for protecting me

2nd bracha is Yitschak
T'chiat hametim

3rd bracha of sh'e is about yaakov
"Ha'El HaKadosh" is part of Yisra-El.
Yaakov is the only one that Gd calls 'El'.
He is the only one that cares for possessions and sees them as holy, not just as material.

These 3 together form the merkava-chariot for us to channel our tefilla. They create the foundation.
