poor choice of words 😉

Reminds me of a dvar torah.

Question is why in the first bracha do we say praises that chazal tell us to say. It makes more sense when giving praise to do it in your own words, it should be what the person himself feels. Right?

The answer is that no matter how much praise you give or what you say it wouldnt even come close to explaining how great god is. In fact it may even be considered an insult. It is like telling someone who has a trillion dollars that they have a lot of money. Not only does it not come close to describing it but it is insulting to rfer to it in such a way.

So basically no matter what words you use it would be a poor choice of words

Now no one can say i never give a dvar torah 😉
