#519: Amida: V'Lamalshinim (Part 1)

s Ser sponsored by the Saka family and sponsored as well by foran and we are up to the 12th of the am but the truth is while we refer to it as the 12th braa in many ways it's 11a or 11b it was inserted it was added only later we Cally refer to the which means 18 there are 18 bras but the truth is we know there are 19 if we wanted to be more accurate we would call the amid the that we say while we are standing this BR was added later the original 18 were instituted by an and as we've discussed they were instituted because they represent man's Universal needs across all time and across all space wherever and whenever we live these 13 bras in the middle these needs these requests Remain the foundation they are the fundamental structure of what is most important beginning from D the need for knowledge and health and prosperity and justce jce and in gathering of the Exiles Redemption and so are these are man's Universal needs 500 years later after an we'll discuss more about momentarily added and authored this additional the known as the this was added later the the great has been describing the origin of each of the bras of the and their historical antecedent the historical precedent so what is the historical precedent of this braa particularly if it was not part of the original writes that when not the split when the MIT from the Egyptians drowned in it the malim saw that Hashem runs the world and even our enemies and even those who seek our demise even those seek who destroy us and erase us and exterminate us even those who don't only oppose us physically but want to purge our ideology that a meets out Justice and therefore when the Mal witnessed and watched the Egyptian drown in the sea they declared they made the who breaks enemies and humbles rebellious siners that there is an answer for them all and later that historical precedent that text which was lost who was the one who recruited to WR knew there was a historical precedent knew that the Mal once declared that hasem meets out Justice and everyone will get what's coming to them the exact words in the language he didn't feel he could author and so he recruited shut to do it and as I said we'll talk more about why sh this begins with a even though we were all taught you don't bring it begin a sentence with the word end theim and the and to theim let there be no hope but the reason the V is it's an additional and it's a continuation of this longing we have for the restoration of justice of truth of honesty of Integrity of fairness between each other and for claw Isel it continues and in that spirit that there's an injustice in that vacuum in the absence of a Sanhedrin that void that vacuum is filled with minim with MIM with those Wicked individuals that stum the Sadducees and others who are seeking to undermine seeking to erase seeking to seeking to confront our very ideology oura of who we are the r explains the beginning of peric B the historical background for what precipitated this bra again for 500 years the was that 18 and it covered all Universal needs in 500 years years later something was happening in the world that M felt he needed to recruit he needed to appoint someone was that someone to tackle a new problem a new need one that was indeed very threatening and very dangerous right the ra ra in the days of RA where was RA the ra doesn't write it in yav why yav because after the the Sanhedrin was in yava and Raam was the n he was the leader at the time the number of Heretics the number of deniers the numbers of those who corrupted and distorted our Torah kadosha they increased they proliferated and they threatened they tried to to seduce and tempt us to leave and abandon our ways they tried to entice us to turn away from Hashem we're suffering again Mass assimilation an attempt to be Jewish and not Jews with t listen what motivated to edit or add an addendum to what with their Divine Insight had already authored because felt more than more than all the needs for knowledge and health and prosperity the bigger threat than our own physical well-being was a threat to our very nishas so he and his b stood up and they instituted a new to eliminate and remove and stop the threat and the danger of the Heretics and those who are promoting assimilation and The Disappearance of our and they added it and instituted it to be part of our daving so that everybody would know it it would be arranged in the mouths of all so in truth concludes the r doing the math for us 18 plus one is 19 today from then on there are 19 bras what precipitated this BR and this essentially very courageous and brave and perhaps at its time somewhat controversial decision of RA and is based in in yav was they saw what was happening there was a disappearance there was a threat to the m there were Heretics who were causing Mass assimilation they were trying to seduce and entice CLA to give up and what we know to be true and they therefore recruited shm auton to be able to Institute RAB and his commentary and the Raman points out what else was happening contemporaneously those who know history who was on the scene and his followers were beginning to promote a major corruption Distortion and new religion yes Christianity was on the rise writes who are the me of yesu and his followers their impact and influence were beginning to be felt something significant needed to be done putting in our mouths three times a day Our Hope and our to give us the language to articulate our wish to be able to oppose and stop their impact writes that is the background to to the amid the question is we'll start off tomorrow why do we call it it's 19 is it just we didn't get the memo we didn't update to call it the is there a deeper reason why even though there are now 19 we still call it will pick up of tomorrow night
