THE ESSENCE AND BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF TEFILLAH - Shiur by Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

And another few days is rasha of the days of the year that were in shul almost the most most of the day a lot of the day is the the longest they were the most in sh but were in shul for hours and hours. Yes, these the mitz I say the rice of all of the blowing of is just a few minutes writes about put outer for bala preparing the kus he says that if you put together all the blowing from the beginning till the end is under five minutes good but then it takes some time of the whole hours and hours that would ensue Rabbi Wright afterwards I could show you but that's a few minutes what's most of the time we're on ding I would like to spend a few minutes to be m to clarify what is the essence of tila what is the true approach that kazal tell tell us about davining before davening and during davining. Um I want to focus on deting in general. You see these different parts of davening that have different meanings. Just for an example is broken up into three parts. The beginning of the first three is then all the in the middle is and then afterwards is however no matter what of ding you're going to destaber the gmoran says the beginning. We learned today in the in the par of the says to the with your whole heart. What is what is when the says says we should beem with our heart. What does it mean? What is with our heart? meaning to say in we have mentioned it many times throughout the different the breaks down the different mitzvah the tarag mitzvah in categories there are mitzvah that a person is mim for an example um the mitzvah of tal you then be taking is eating matzah. These different mitzvah you do with different aim of your body. These mitzvah believe with your heart for an example is not a mitzvah with your mouth. It's a mitzvah believe with your heart to love Hashem. Before knowing the garments of B, what would we say? What is davenining? Or would you say the mitzvah of dining? >> Pas you would say. Pas you would say very good. The mitzvah is a pair. You d you speak. You talk the ding. Zomorra. What is the mitzvah? Mitzvah. [Applause] So the garra says that ding ding is what? Dvening is believe. Believe. What? What is believe is dinging. So the garra says that ding would go under the category of belief. Is that clear? The garra doesn't even say that needs believe. When you ding, you need heart. No, no, The garra says what is the so the sha is if the of ding is why do we need a sar why do we need a s every single day dvening like we said before you speak speaking why do you need a sed we should just dive in belief the garra says that is believe we should just dive in and There could be different categories of what you think in what's all this before answering the question let's be of a little bit more in the question the in goes on and he says the following he says it's true that and you cannot change not one bit you can't change nothing from but says the you should know the of the of ding is believe and if a person davins he says the words of dvening but he doesn't have any he doesn't have any he doesn't put any heart into dining says the kaz the dining is nothing again it's true that we should say and You can't change a word from it. But if a person is what tells us to do but a person doesn't have to believe he has nothing that's what the says brings this gamar he says that the garra says like I mentioned before the gamarra doesn't the gar doesn't say that you needs what is to bring it out you do a mitzvah mitzvah. So when you do a mitzvah, you have to have is a you take. So the the mitzvah is to shake the doll of but he's a and a you have to have but the mitzvah the mitzvah is shaking the d of by ding. It's not that you talk by ding and however you have to have kavana the is the is something yes is not with talking says that if somebody ds and he doesn't have kavana it's like a bird chirping it's meaningless meaningless it's kavana yeah belief >> are those two separate things though kavana I see as being reggish. So thera says that says with the heart that's what the garra says connecting the that's for a separate discussion very good point but one thing is clear thera says being through is believe and if a person doesn't have the leave, he doesn't have let's call it the herish, he doesn't have the understanding, he doesn't have the then he doesn't have ding. So the shila is about why do we have the talking by the saying the ding? Why do you have to say the ding the believe is enough? If a person stood before the ibash without saying anything and he put his whole heart and mind in And he had a bakusha. Yeah. Would he be my >> So, oh, very good. We're going to get to that momentarily. You want to know if a person stands in front of and he's in his heart. He has a he has a so we're going to get to that shortly. But the v let's build up with clarity. The garra says that is believe. So the shas of believe. Why do you have to why do why do we have the talking the the inimit on this week's para and it's an of the of the of the but he goes on the words of this week's para so he says that's going on dvening of course we say the words is is with the heart which he says is by ding you do but then he goes on he has a very big piece to say that the le part is the essence of ding and if you don't have le you don't have dingl so the shila is why is there the other part the the on the PKI benched with the co of being that came about with the of Rahul was and he was born with the of the of but then he continues on to say what is the what is the of isa that's the of and the uh that's tak with his mouth and he doesn't have kavana it's like a gofina sha a goofalina shama can't have a it's a dead person so dinging if a person talks without having kavana it's nothing and he says something more he says even another step which is even a little bit scary he says that even if a person understands the piris but when he's dvening he's like learning the sid this is maybe a little bit like what you were mentioning before that he has he has the he has the ma means he knows what he's saying he's not just chirping words he knows what he's saying but he only when what he's saying is he knows the he says that's like learning you're learning the dinging he goes on meaning to say is you're learning the dining it's not about learning the dinging you're supposed to know the sh because you're supposed to know what you're talking about. But once you know the pirates, the davening is not the saying words and you know what you're saying. Oh, you sure better know what you're saying to be able to have. But when after knowing what you're saying, the dinging is the heart, the connection to the soil is so why can't you stay stand quiet? Sometimes could be even the saying could be a distraction cuz you're saying the words you're focusing on saying the words and you don't have kavana but on the nuda on the nuda of of the pamilas that if you know the pas that's like learning it's nea I want to just share with that I heard from ger brings out this point zatal from geric zatal from Fsburg. He says, "We look sometimes at people that their connection to Pes is that after Purum, they go to the aisle that's starting to sell Pesak items or the Pes store and they buy, you know, a shankbone and some grape juice." So that's Pes and for other people really. So he says it could be we're not we're not better when it comes Rashashana. What do we do? The rash rash is coming. So we look on the shelf. Where's the rashash? You take out the rash and you go you know to take the dust off and we you know we pull it out of rash. Says a person is supposed to look through the m to prepare the words. It's nice to have a to know but it's not about learning the dining during davining. It's when you come to Davening you know what the words are to be able to have kavana is what why why is there so I wanted to share with three terutim three reasons why ding also includes saying the words saying the words the shamish in this week's para quotes and says you we do not need to say the dingum ding is exactly like what the gumar says belief however and and the reason why he says why it's not about is because as much that we give to we could barely just get started and even he says this says that even them that have many mouths and could Say multiple sh at the same time also it's not to cover all the what a person can give believe is way more than he can express with words is all about believe in the heart. So why would they say the ding and like we said now that they say the ding says he says if we would just stand in sh and or not in shul and think whatever we think about of davening how are our kids going to know what to do if he's a sitter and we ding So is they see what we dive and they also know how to continue. They watch us dive and they dive in that also. But if it would just be believe. So a kid sees his father standing and is quiet. He he he must probably sees him his but doesn't begin to know what to do. So para the darening is for the kids. He he explains in this week's par. It's on this week's parashing that's believe the is however this which means that you could see the talking is for for us and for our kids to be able to pass on to pass something on of the ding >> who brings This is the mor of shamish in this week's par into the words I think is his own but the concept he says from and he also explains what we say in the starts a little before it's a and then afterwards that's where we start by every day in so he says is the dvening quiet That's a yavin. However, which means the other people people should hear. That's why we say it out loud. Quiet. That's the If you're at home, which means when you're going to dine and your kids to be able to learn, you're allowed to dive in loud. If it means it's at home, you're not disturbing other people. We we out loud to be able our kids should know. So for our kids allowed. So number one parents number one is that davening is belief from beginning to end. Davening is belief. You know why we also say the dining to be able to teach our kids. These are another terret that says on that we just mentioned and based off what you asked before. Oh, very good. Yeah, you want to know if somebody stands without talking. So the over there says a person should not den and believe. You should articulate the words. Don't just dive and believe. What happens if you do dive and believe? Are you speaks about it. He he wonders he wants to know what happens if you only believe are you. So he says really I would say that you are why is believe the is I would say that you are you are because believe brings a gamorra and he brings a you don't say that he's that he believes that's not just believe you have to say speak out the ding so why the child they were asking all along now if fewers believe why t can't you just dive and believe says don't die and believe and have if a person ds believe he's not why is like that this is the second that he says the co when a person it's understand he's saying is that it's a it's when a person dy which means [Music] however we also have a benefit of the speaking outing because it's so we said is that your reason why to speak the ding so our kids could see how he source the davin here says the reason why to speak the doning is because to have something in addition to the kavana you should also speak the doning both is the ding is an inven we want to have another mile and that's so we speak we say the ding a third terret is even a bit more the first terret was that the reason we say say it is for the kids the second ter said is that he's a my love speaking the saying the words saying it. The third terret says that the speaking out the words is says that even though you're not supposed to damage my loud but if it's you're not disturbing anyone else for example you're in your house or even if you're in a far away people don't hear you then you're allowed to dive in loud but that the saying the dinging is here to be the either of the of is the and that's why the garra says in and one of the four things that always why for an example example okay l is once a year it's a week of a year it's exciting but the is being that it's not a ma it's not just saying the words it's kavona so a person has to make sure that he has kavona when someone diamonds out loud >> just a second a second a person has to have kavanaash it's easier to have kavana by the says you look around and see that by people get very involved. I'm talking about besides saying it have kavana they have the believe and he says to emmesis that it's the opposite zimra that's way more important and ramatio explains and he says the following and then we'll just this with this we're going to conclude but he says just like he gives a marshall he says just like breathing everybody needs to breathe to be able to live every minute and these unlimited amount of air wherever Here you go. These ear something that you need is more is there. It's out there. Water, everybody needs water. It's out there. Diamonds, you don't need diamonds. So, it's something that's not it's hard to find. The zimmer is like the ear and that's what we say it every day. The regular doning. We say every day because that's what we need for the of a person to give to the regular dvening. It's true that people get excited of the diamonds and the nim people get excited of the butch and how explains that the other of ding the the uncommon parts are so to speak like the diamonds but what's the takeaway the takeaway is it's the gay for every single ding but a person could try to focus and I'm going to be rash and shul for many many hours a there's a lot of doning that we But to be able to focus at the of ding like the Gmorrah says the of dvening is belief to be able to you know work to prepare to be able to have the of we should be all of us have a wonderful shabas There is.
