In the last a few classes, we have spoken about focusing in the course of prayer. We introduced quoted a Mishna in Berachot, chapter 5, that discusses the pious Males of outdated who used an hour or so ahead of they prayed, contemplating, in order to very clear their head through the litter. There are many phrases in that Mishna, ahead of it talks concerning the pious Gentlemen of aged. It says, אֵין עוֹמְדִין לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ כֹּבֶד רֹאשׁ You must start off praying with a Koved Rosh/seriousness . But Rashi interprets Koved Rosh as humility . Why is humility so critical for prayer? In Alei Shor (vol one website page 113), about ways to empty your mind in the litter before you pray, Rav Wolbe asks ways to just instantly end everything business enterprise you have been involved in simply a second ago, that you just were being fully engrossed in? How do we just forget about everything? He states the only real way to get it done is usually to know that all that organization requires prayer for achievement. Only by way of praying will Now we have the correct outlook within the enterprise that we do. We should always recognize it isn't my power and my electricity that makes it occur. When You begin to pray, abruptly you start imagining, “ I have to do this. I have to try this ,” whether in your company, or your hectic working day…the cake You should bake, the children You must pick up from college... why do all These matters pop into your thoughts when you start to pray? Why can it be so difficult to concentration? How come these views come to head? He states, it’s a sign that we don't genuinely feel that we'd like prayer for our achievements. And therefore, he says, the biggest interference to our praying with kavana will not be our ADHD, or our speedy-paced existence. Naturally, that is a component of it, but the leading problem is our conceitedness . What activates Those people thoughts that flood our thoughts? What's the minimal machine which is generating all All those feelings? It’s our conceitedness. Guiding all of those ideas is the basic belief that I'm accountable for my everyday living and I make the matters occur. If I don't give thought to them, and I do not take care of them, they don't seem to be destined to be cared for. We have to notice the elemental miscalculation in that arrogant outlook.

So it absolutely was decided that you simply have been going to make $100,000, and after that the market dropped and you lost $10,000 therefore you wound up with $90,000. What's the primary difference? The difference is, as we now see, this fashion, you obtain the kapara . You will get the atonement for the money that you simply dropped. You really by no means bought it, but God, in His mercy makes it counts for Kapara . But, suggests the Chafetz Chaim, There is certainly even the next amount- Rav Yochanan Ben Zachai’s nephews gave the money to Sedaka. So don't just can you find yourself that you choose to ended up speculated to make $a hundred,000 pounds, however you lost $ten,000. But if you are taking that $10,000, give it to charity, it counts like a reduction, but it isn't really a decline, as it turns into a tremendous, tremendous zechut. Which is how Hashem operates the planet, in this manner of mercy. Just remember, when we say, פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכׇל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ God opens up His hands and satiates to All people, what his wills are. Hashem, open up Your fingers and please give me all that bounty,” don’t say, “ Hey, it isn't really Operating, it's actually not coming in.” It truly is working , you are receiving it, However they're using it from you, to be able to provide you with a kapara before you get it. So You should not Assume Those people prayers were squandered. It can be bringing you all sorts of atonements. Whatever you could have gotten, and should have gotten, was taken away from you. The Pele Yoetz, in the topic of Daagah/get worried, discusses this too. He employed the mashal of a king that tells a debtor that It truly is impossible for somebody to owe cash for the king instead of pay out him. “ So I will slide some money via your doorway, and you may fork out me again with that. I will even leave you some leftovers likewise. I'll Present you with a bit greater than you require. ” That's what Hashem does. He gives us, then He helps make us shed, and that's how He offers us the kapara . That is how He pays us off. The Pele Yoetz cites a midrash that claims, Hodu L’Hashem Ki Tov, Praise Hashem, for He is nice What is the ki Tov/superior ? That Hashem collects the debts in the very best way for somebody. Your wine bottle breaks, your rooster dies, you stub your toe. God's mercy is considerable in how He appears to be for tactics for us to pay for back again, in the most pain-free of the way. Another mashal is provided of a king Having said that whoever dedicated a certain would've a considerable boulder dropped on him, and that boulder would eliminate the person. But it turned out that the king’s son fully commited the criminal offense. So the king took the boulder and broke it into smaller small pebbles and had the pebbles thrown at his son, one at a time. פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכׇל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ God opens up His hands and satiates to Most people, what his wills are. When it looks like you didn’t get what you required, you did- but it was taken faraway from you before you obtained it, in a means that will cause you to secure a kapara . Have a wonderful day.

With Hashem's assist, I a short while ago chanced on a commentary on Tehilim composed by Rav Chaim Kanievsky z’l. To know Tehilim, it is vital to know the background and historical context of your chapter that David Hamelech is creating about. What exactly was going on in his in life when he wrote it? From time to time he tells us what precisely’s going on while in the heading, no matter if he’s operating absent, being chased, and so forth. But often he won't. And at times, it looks as if he is telling us what is going on on, but we actually Do not get it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, along with his incredible knowledge of Torah, finds a Midrash that assists us realize a person these chapter. Chapter thirty known as Mizmor Shir, Hanukat HaBayit L’David/a track with the devotion of the House, referring to your Bet Hamikdash, by David. There are 2 issues with this. Number 1 is the fact David Hamelech was not within the Hanukat HaBayit- he died ahead of that. As we’ve mentioned up to now, Rashi points out that he wrote it for being reported in the Hanukat Habayit. The second challenge is that there is no discussion in the Hanukat HaBayit In this particular Mizmor. It suggests, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ ה׳ כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי God lifted me up… שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי I termed out to You and also you healed me. You carry me with the depths, and so on. What does that have to complete Together with the Hanukat Habayit? Further more into your perek, it says, הֲיוֹדְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ Will Filth praise You and say around Your real truth? לְמַ֤עַן ׀ יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ Making sure that my soul will sing to you personally eternally.. So, once again, what is going on on? Rav Chaim cites a Midrash that David Hamelech was Ill for thirteen several years, as he says in another perek, יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכׇל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה Every single evening I am crying in my bed . So he experienced for 13 years, And through this time his enemies hoping he’d die. David Hamelech was certainly praying to acquire outside of this situation. What acquired him outside of it? He lastly arrived up with the subsequent prayer, “ Make sure you save me to make sure that I am going to contain the toughness to approach the Bet Hamikdash,” and t hat's when he bought out of his mattress and wrote what’s called the Megilat Binyan Bet Hamikdash/ the architectural designs with the Wager a HaMikdash, and God read his prayer.
