#574: Amida: Shema Koleinu (Part 3)

sponsored by the Saka family and sponsored as well by for we are in the 16th the pointed out we don't ask to hear our prayers we ask him to hear our voice even if we are unworthy even if we are unable to articulate we're unable to eloquently communicate what it is we need Hashem hear our voice our genuine sincere from the depth of our being hear our voice when we last left off was reading the who has been telling us the significance of this each of the bras is critical and significant each of the we have the opportunity to add our own words whether it's for das we need help writing a shab whether it's someone needs the healing needs Health whether it's someone needs each of the is the cat the universal we could put whatever we need tells us hasem speaks whatever language you speak put it in your own word words in your own words we read last week about the stones in which were engraved the Torah that sat on the boundary on the border of Israel when you crossed the yard 70 languages the Torah was translated into there why why 70 language because Torah is accessible Torah speaks to every generation every time it has its own vocabulary it's able to reach people Bill show now obviously the ideal ises butm understands don't just deliver that card where you didn't write in your own words in your own handwriting deliver a message in your own handwriting continues and through this will hear our voices and we will accomplish a goal it's not to suggest the otheros are not with kavana certainly now that we've covered them in C Snippets we can all have the proper kavana but it means even if our mind wanders theic Dynasty is not the Forefront of our mind the monarchy and mhia even if is not the Forefront of our mind but it means that even if our mind wanders we struggle to connect to the Hebrew to the language of the other says when it comes to because this we're going to insert we're going to include from the bottom of our hearts our own language so at least one we're going to have because the rest of the have youever found yourself at the end of the amida you're bowing at modm and you don't remember how you got there you're taking three steps back at the end ofu and you don't remember taking the three steps forward you're not sure what happened we're zombies were on autopilot you press go in the beginning of and the best IDE has come the best idea it's a great article it be a great jussa I have to call these three people back I should really do that this is really a solution to this D the best ideas come during the amida but that's not when the best ideas are supposed to come we're supposed to be focused on the Amid and the challenge is MIT we are an autopilot we press go and we feel like we're all the way at the end before we realize we were saying anything of course we're working to improve that we're not conceding we're not giving in we're working to improve it but at least one right because it's our own language and because should reflect our agenda of the day look at your schedule and calendar before a lot of people would suggest don't open up your smartphone before ding don't look at your calendar or your agenda and generally that's a good idea don't don't look at the things that'll be a distraction but look at your calendar for the day whatever is on top that day goes into goes into help me with that meeting help me with that appointment help me the flight be on time help me that I get a good result help me do well in the test help me whatever is on agenda for the day that's thinking about if every day we for something new what we need there are no two days that are the same there are no two amas that are the same who we are what we need what's happening in our life between sh even between and and we have new things to add new things to think about so doing has to come from the depth of our heart has to be genuine it has to be real it has to be authentic how is it real when it relates to the reality of our life so when we author our own it's the men of the great assemble invite us to be their co-authors they invite us to partner with them in the authorship of the amid their contribution are the bras the way we have the 19as our contribution as co-authors of ERT reflect what's happening the agenda of that day and so even if we're unsuccessful in the other bras that we're not giving up at least one BR we know we're not an autopilot we're making relative we're making related to what's going on in our lives there are so many things going on in our lives and so many things that we think we're in charge we're in control we influence we take initiative but in the end of the day we submit and we surrender to Hashem in the end of the day we recognize as the Z says that a person can't Point their finger without a giving the okay there are no coincidences nothing random nothing chance it's all from above go go on we don't generally in Snippets read such a long commentary but we're going to complete it next time CU hearing his words are very powerful the power of Shak the privilege of Shu the opportunity and invitation of to be partners with an and to be the compass the compass to navigate our day it elevates doing and empowers and enriches doing it makes it so real I'm not just saying words that were written thousands of years ago I'm authoring my own words connected to what I'm going through in my time none of us have a day there's no part of a day not the beginning the middle of the end where we can't identify something that we need hm's help driving home from sh stopping at only one slushy not also having a pastry with it every one of us we need to ask Hashem for help we giving a Shear tonight want it to go smoothly want it to go well may people come let the rain not open up Let the parking lot not flood there's a million in one things that we can insert whatever is going that's what makes it real that's what shows him that we know he's real to take advantage of each and every schma col
