#537: Amida: Al Ha'Tzadikim (Part 6)

respons s family and by for theim tried to Define hone in our intent for and we last left off what do we think about and what are we mindful of when we say the words said can be like b a teacher a should be thinking about the Educators and why are they called plas we mentioned because nobody else wants that job that profession others are encouraged or discouraged from going into it so plas The Remnant who are willing to be the SRA in the Baer who are willing to teach and educate and Inspire who should be paid much more than any athletes or celebrities who spend more time with our children than we do we D on their behalf we D on their behalf it's a beautiful it's a beautiful kavana that three times a day in your amida you stop and you say thank you thank you to those who educate our children and our grandchildren the says it refers not to S as in b but S as in who are the ones who write the righteous the the scholars those who are the authors of t t of of the of every generation he further suggests maybe means like a serur s St the one who writes the m sa T so maybe means the S because again we've been saying this since long before the printing press before we so easily could go online and order whatever you wanted and whatever many copies you could get you relied on the sofra on the S to be able to transmit Torah from one generation to generation to another so maybe that is whom we are daving for with when we say PL alternatively tells us makes the suggestion as do others that are called so from why because they knew how to count the letters of the Torah and reveal the secrets they had this awareness of exactly how many letters and where they were the gatria the numerical values and how they added up we had this of Hosting sure earlier this year all of his Tor all of his Torah always makes reference to grias but I uh maybe to ask him does he sit and calculate he said no they come he he sees in gatus he sees it's and if you speak to him he'll just oh what's the name oh that's exactly the Gat of this people the SRA are those who see in numbers they see and they count in that way so I'll give one example I saw referenced the gatria of ER is there's only one instant one PK in the Torah that has the same gatri as is anyone know what it is when it comes to Israel you know who's waging our war fighting our battle you know who's watching over us and will make us Victorious so to know gatria is to be counting the letters the words and to be aware of the placement within the Torah and to to have the of that level of that level who see and who live in that fashion and that's points out we refer to the remnants of a people who are the they are those who survive and who thrive there are those who successfully bridge and the link in the chain in the past generation and the next and that's who we're doing for how how grateful are we how Reliant and dependent are we of the shus those who survived the last generation and our responsibility to pay it forward for the Next Generation so we saw several six or seven interpretation plas s like B are we talking about educators are we talking about the S are we talking about the S who count who are we talking about when we have kavana the next is we'll talk about this more the coming nights but we DAV every day three times a day for GED for righteous converts righteous converts are unbelievable they're an incredible inspiration in fact this is the most often repeated Mitzvah in the whole Torah 36 separate places test tells us 36 separate places the Torah tells us that we have to DAV to treat the convert that we have to treat the convert properly so one of the ways we treat the convert properly says we fulfill AUM in the Mitzvah of loving the convert is when we D on their behalf which is also amazing what an Insight we'll end with that tonight sometimes you can express love for someone not only by writing a check giving a gift inviting for a meal you can express love without their ever knowing it when you DAV for someone when you include someone in your that is a manifestation and expression of Your Love So a fulfillment of loving the convert is ding for the well-being of the convert the success of the convert that the convert continue to be inspired and a source of inspiration for us so this is a a Mitzvah that's repeated more than any 36 places in the Torah to love the convert and we fulfill it when we DAV for them why are we daving for them I'll tell you this was not in the original formulation wrote the amida in the original liturgy and text GED was not included who eded it when did he edit why did he edit when he did stay tuned next time
