Varifrån den kommer
Modeh Ani is found in Seder HaYom, a work by Rabbi Moses ben Machir, and became widely used in Jewish daily practice. Its words draw on the Jewish understanding of sleep and waking as a daily renewal of life. Asher Yatzar, the separate blessing named alongside it, has its roots in the Talmud.
