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!!



Concepts shared were taught to me by  Rabbi Simcha Weinberg, n''y



***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.

Hoda'ah

  “Were the existence of gratitude and recognition of the good lacking from existence, the human spirit would be left without sparkle or shine.” Rav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook For the Perplexed of the Generation 4:9     I recently was honored to receive the following email:   Dear Rabbi Weinberg;   I am grateful that both my parents survived Covid in the ICU.   I am grateful that my husband is home, although with oxygen, but no longer on a ventilator.   I am grateful for the Jewish community, of which I am not connected, for food, drivers, shopping, and all sorts of help too much to list.   Someone printed a page from Partners In Prayer and scribbled your email on the bottom. Can you teach me how to pray? Is there a way I can use prayer to express my gratitude? Can I pray without becoming religious?   My husband and I and our children are willing to celebrate Hanukah this year. Is that okay?   My ...

Prayer Skills- Joy- As A Story

One must perform the Mitzvot with such great joy that one does not even want any heavenly reward for it. He wishes only that God should prepare another mitzvah for him, for he derives pleasure from the mitzvah itself. Through   this one may know what has been decreed for the world, whether the decree have been confirmed or not, and upon whom the evil has been decreed, Heaven forbid. One thus knows how to pray for the world, for after the judgment has been decreed, the righteous must clothe their prayers in the form of stories. One merits all this by performing the mitzvah in great joy derived from the mitzvah itself. This may be merited by praying fervently and with great awe and love. (Likkutei Eitzot, Simcha 2-3)   Question : How can we clothe prayers in the form of stories? Rabbi Simcha Weinberg, n''y

TERUMAH-ALL OUR HEARTS

The divine soul of man is transmitted and descends to this world to be clothed in a human body, through the mystery of speech. This is the supernal Breath, regarding which it is written, “And God breathed into man’s nostrils,   a soul of life, and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7).” Whoever exhales, does so from his innermost being.   It is also written, “For a part of God is His people, Jacob, the cord of His possession (Deuteronomy 32:9).” Jacob is compared to a cord, where one end is bound above, and the other end below. We can learn an important lesson from this simple meaning of the verse, “He breathed into his nostrils.” When a person blows on something, if there is a barrier or an obstruction separating the two, his breath cannot reach that place at all. The same is actually true when there is something separating and intervening between man’s body and the Supernal Breath. Of course, nothing physical or spiritual can actually act as a barrier before God’s Essence ...
