הטעם שתקנו לברך את ישראל בסוף כל תפלה לפי שהתפלות כנגד תמידין תקנום וכמו שבכל פעם בהשלים העבודה היו הכהנים מברכין את ישראל כמו שנאמר וישא אהרן את ידיו אל העם ויברכם וגומ' וכתיב כה תברכו את בני ישראל וגו'. (אבודרהם)

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
*In Leviticus 9:22, we find that after he completed the Divine offering, Aaron lifted up his hands and blessed the people. In a like manner, his descendants, the*Kohanim,*uttered the priestly blessing after performing the Temple Service. In our days, on the occasions when the*kohanim*recite the priestly blessings, they do so immediately after the “We are thankful” prayer which terminates the*Avodah*(Service) section of the*Shemoneh Esrei.*When*Kohanim*do not recite the blessings, the blessings are mentioned by the*Chazzan*in his repetition of the*Shemoneh Esrei*.—Avudraham*
