Perspective Changer




I  realized, I can sing "Hallelujah! in a whole new new way!

After  I sing all these beautiful  attributes of  Hashem ***

I experienced a sense of consolation, I can release the "Me" and allow for so much more..

He offers us the world literally as described by Dovid Hamelech.

I cant' even begin to fathom His gifts.!.

לא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ. לא בְשׁוקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶה: רוצֶה הּ אֶת יְרֵאָיו. אֶת הַמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּו
He does not desire the might of horse, nor does He desire the "thigh" of "the man"

I don't think He wants me to experience "all the world on MY shoulders"..

It is not my job to control every detail..!!

I understand this verse as saying , 

Hashem doesn't want this from me.. otherwise I have reduced His heavenly gifts  to the "might of horse", and the "thigh of the man", to basically bones, to "nothing" G-d forbid. 

The way I understand it, is that He wants me to be a "Miyachel L'chasdo", to live with the awareness  of Him, by living with "Hope" of His Chesed , His abundant and unlimited  Life Force and Kindness.
. 
It is my heart He wants!

It is my  Aspiration of and in Him He wants

And....I want that too!!

***The Builder of Jerusalem, 

The Gatherer of the outcasts of Israel, 

The Healer of the broken hearts

The wrapper and binder of wounds

The Counter of every star

He calls each one by a name

Our Master is Great is Expansive in His strength 

His Understanding cannot be calculated

He supports the afflicted

He lowers the wicked to the ground.

Respond to Hashem with gratitude, and sing your music to our Lord with a "Kinor"

He gives food to the animals and young ravens who call out.

Birchat Hamazon

By: Machberes Avodas Hashem The Chafetz Chaim taught: "At the conclusion of the main portion of Grace after Meals we add a series of,' May the All Merciful.' We add numerous such petitions, indicating that a request to God after the performance of a mitzvah is especially acceptable before Him (Michtevei haRav Chafetz Chaim, page 45)." One of the primary issues of the Exile is, "You wrapped Yourself in a cloud that no prayer can pierce (Lamentations 3:44)." It is more difficult to pray during the Three Weeks than other times during the year because we experience this "cloud." With COVID unfortunately around, this year proves to be even more difficult because our time in shul has changed drastically, and we have never experienced the pain of the three weeks while in a situation similar to the present state of the world. We can use this strategy of the Chafetz Chaim, that of praying immediately after the performance of a mitzvah, so that we may feel t...

Koneh Hakol

 In the first Blessing of the Amidah when it says Hashem is " Koneh Hakol " it does not mean Hashem bought it all, or He acquired it since He made it! The son of the Vilna Gaon quotes his father, as explaining  Koneh Hakol to mean He's Mitaken (fixing)  everything.  Therefore Hashem inserted in the creation the ability to fix everything! Which is what the Torah  refers to in the Parshas Lech Licha, in the verse about Avram Avinu being one that was a Mitaken , one who made things right, improved  ie. the of Heaven and Earth, וַֽיְבָרְכֵ֖הוּ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר בָּר֤וּךְ אַבְרָם֙ לְאֵ֣ל עֶלְי֔וֹן קֹנֵ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ  (Genesis, 14:19) He blessed him, saying, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

Creation

 All was destroyed during the month of Av. Creation began on Elul, and, so it will again. We recite this prayer for the New Month focusing on Creation. “God created the world in order to do good to an other (Derech Hashem 1:2:1).” Creation was an expression of absolute love, the “other” had done nothing to earn it. This is why Elul, the month of Creation is also the month of intense love between God and Israel. I recite this prayer imaging myself participating in the final Heavenly planning meetings before Creation. I am not praying as one who has already existed and experienced success and failure, but as one who has the opportunity to see the world before Creation, and request in this moment of intense love all that I could possibly need and want. I use this prayer to prepare for all my Elul prayers until the 25th of the month when Creation began. For what shall I ask? What will I need to succeed? How will I define success? What do I hope to achieve? Rabbi Simcha Weinberg
