# | #Three of the Birchot HaShachar are ''Shelo Asani Goy'', ''Shelo Asani Eved'', ''Shelo Asani Isha'', as praise for the different levels of Mitzvot for which one is obligated. We thank Hashem for not making us a non-Jew, who is not obligated in as many mitzvot as a Jew, or a slave, who is also limited in the Mitzvot he is obligated in. Men also recite a bracha thanking Hashem for not being created a woman, who, too, is not obligated in certain Mitzvot men are. Women recite corresponding Berachot in the female conjugation, as well, except the final one, ''She'Asani Kirtzono is said without Hashem's name.<ref>Menachot 43b and Rashi ad loc Tur and Shulchan Aruch 46:4, Mishna Berura 46:16</ref> | ||
