Morning Blessings- from a perspective of "Ratzon" (Desire)

Sheasani Kirtzono  Who made me in His Will

 I desire a relationship with Hashem, by attaching to His Ratzon (desire).

I want a reciprocal relationship, a back and forth of desiring.


Pokeach Ivrim  Who opens the eyes of the blind.

Open my eyes to this Ratzon (desire)

Help me see how this type of  relationship is available to me .


Malbish Arumim (Who dresses the naked)

Who protects the "Ratzon" in the Relationship 


Matir Asurim (Who releasese the Bound)

Release anything that is still blocking me from connection of this "Ratzon"


Zokef Kifufim

Raise me up so I don't lose it (my Ratzon to attach to You) Give me the self-esteem so I can keep attached to this Ratzon. 


Roka Haaretz Al Hamayim

This "Ratzon" IS my support. It keeps me grounded and connected.

TAKING IT WITH YOU-MISHPATIM-ALEINU

Our sages teach us, “On the Red Sea, God appeared to them like a young boy, while at Sinai, He appeared like an old man.” At first thought, this is extremely difficult to understand, since it is written, “You have not seen   any image (To see Deuteronomy 4:15).” We can explain this with an example. When a parent loves his child, this great love causes the child’s image to be engraved on the parent’s mind. It is therefore as if the child were actually standing in the presence of the parent. When the child is young, he exists in his parent’s mind in the image of a small child. Later, when he grows, the image in the parent’s thoughts is that of an older person.   It is known that, “Israel rose first in thought.” This means that they are constantly engraved in the Supernal Thought, just as a child is in its parent’s mind. When a child acts properly and does what its parent wishes, this is the image that is engraved in its parent’s thoughts. The same is true when the child goes aga...

Who clothes the naked

"Certainly those determining acts of her life were not ideally beautiful. They were the mixed result of a young and noble impulse struggling amidst the conditions of an imperfect social state, in which great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion. For there is no creature whose inward being is so strong that it is not greatly determined by what lies outside it." "But we insignificant people with our daily words and acts are preparing the lives of many Dorotheas." "Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to t...

SPECIAL THANKS

  “I will sing to God while I live, I will sing praises to my Lord while I endure.” (Psalms 104:33)  A Torah scholar who has a broad mind able to connect different parts of the Torah, one to the other, must add to the  blessing recited by all who merit to study Torah each day:  “Thank you for placing me among those who sit in the Beit Midrash,” with a special blessing for the gift of his mind and ability to discover new ideas. So too, a person who is blessed with a great awareness of God and can therefore attain a higher level of Awe of God, must express his gratitude each day for this gift. Application: “I will sing to God while I live,” refers to singing our gratitude for our spritual gifts, each person focusing on his special strengths. “I will sing praises to my Lord while I endure,” refers to singing our thanks for our physical gifts. (Rabbi Ephraim Yitzchak of Parmishlan – Mishna Rishona) By:  Rabbi Simcha Weinberg, n''y
