# The second bracha begins with VeHaRev with a Vav. Some Ashkenazim have the custom to say it without a Vav. <ref> S”A 47:6 based on Tosfot ([[Brachot]] 46a s.v. Kol, Ketubot 8a s.v. [[Shehakol]] in name of Rabbenu Tam), Rosh ([[Brachot]] 1:13), Rabbenu Yonah 5b s.v. Veha, Rashi 11b s.v. VeRabbi Yochanan, and Mordechai 31. Rama says that the practice is say it without a Vav but it’s better to say it without a vav to satisfy all opinions. This opinion is sourced in the Rambam (Tefilah 7:10, Rashba 11b s.v. VeRabbi Yochanan, Bal HaMor s.v. Maiym, and Avudraham pg 44. </ref>
# The second section begins VeHaRev Nah with a Vav. Some Ashkenazim have the custom to say it without a Vav. <ref> S”A 47:6 based on Tosfot ([[Brachot]] 46a s.v. Kol, Ketubot 8a s.v. Shehakol in name of Rabbenu Tam), Rosh ([[Brachot]] 1:13), Rabbenu Yonah (5b s.v. Veha), Rashi 11b s.v. VeRabbi Yochanan, and Mordechai 31 hold that Harev Nah of Birchat HaTorah starts with a vav. This opinion holds that really there's only two brachot of Birkat HaTorah. Rama 47:6 says that the practice is say it without a Vav but it’s better to say it without a vav to satisfy all opinions.
