      טעם ברכת אתה חונן. ובו סעיף אחד:
      מפני שמותר האדם מן הבהמה הוא הבינה והשכל קבעו ברכת אתה חונן ראש לאמצעיו' שאם אין בינה אין תפלה :

      English

      The reason for the blessing of "Ata Chonein" ["You grace humanity with knowledge", the fourth blessing of the weekday Amidah]. Containing 1 S'if: Since humanity's advantage over animals is understanding and intellect, they established the blessing of "Ata Chonein" as the first of the [the Amidah's] middle [blessings] since if we do not have understanding, there is no [capacity for] prayer.
