Assignment:

The following blessing is recited many times over the course of a day:

Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, who formed man with wisdom and created within him many openings and many hollow spaces. It is obvious and known before Your Seat of Honor that if even one of them would be opened, or if even one of them would be sealed, it would be impossible to survive and to stand before You even for one hour. Blessed are You, Adonai, who heals all flesh and acts wondrously.

When do we recite this blessing and what aspect of our life is it asking us to be grateful for?
How might this blessing be an example of the idea that Judaism is about bridging Heaven earth? (Remember the Star of David)
Why is having gratitude (Hakarat Hatov recognition of the good) so challenging? What's the difficulty?
How do all of the blessings a Jew is asked to make in the course of a day, whether over food or the working of different parts of the body, contribute to building a genuine relationship with G-d? Please give examples.
