Mode Ani ( Hebrew מוֹדֶה (מוֹדָה) אֲנִי; German "I thank you") is a Jewish prayer .

description

These words are used at the beginning of a morning prayer that practicing Jews recite daily after they wake up while they are still in bed. The Ani fashion comes from the Lamentations of Jeremiah (3: 22-23): “The goodness of […] has not dried up and his mercy has not yet been exhausted. It is renewed every morning, your kindness is infinite ”. From this the Shulchan Aruch concludes that every morning God renews each person as a new creation. (Ch. 1, 2.)

According to Emanuel Derman , the body of every person in “Modeh ani” is soulless every night, and the soul only finds its way back into the body in the morning. Life would only go on because God, who is metaphorically described as the living and eternal King, gives life anew every morning.
