There is this blessing/declaration which we recite everyday:
"Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Ha'Olam, shelo asani goy."
But why is it expressed this way? Why the usage of the term goy
Didn't HaShem told Avram: ואעשך לגוי גדול. I will make you a great goy? And again in Shemot 19:6 teach us that we have to become a goy kadosh? Why don't we refer to the rest of the world - in making a distinguish between ourselves and the others of this world - as amim or umot ha'olam or something like that?
