Question
Hello, In the morning prayer, is the phrase "לא ניגע לריק ולא נלד לבהלה" read with the word 'ניגע' pronounced like 'נירא', meaning the letter 'g' is not heard? And what is the meaning of 'labor in vain'?
Answer
Hello
Why would you omit the letter 'g'? Where have you found a 'g' that is not pronounced?
In the Mishnah Berurah (Siman 47, Se'if Katan 10), it is explained that this refers to the education of children.
And these are his words: And the prayer of the father and mother should always be on their lips to pray for their children to be Torah scholars, righteous, and possess good traits, and one should focus greatly in the blessing of 'Ahava Rabba' and in the blessing of the Torah when saying 'and we and our offspring', and also when saying 'and come to Zion', so that we do not labor in vain and do not give birth in terror:
