Gateway To Tefilla : Mizmor L'soda - Enlisting the Whole World on Gratitude

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com welcome to our cheer on sfila barak hashem i'm getting a lot of feedback that well the material that we're learning is very meaningful to people i know it's meaningful to me because we've been saying the same words our whole life it's very hard for us to shake out of the routine that we've developed but uh by learning about uh the depth and profundity of the structure of tefila and the meaning of tefila it definitely enhances uh our understanding this is one of the things that we eat the fruits in this world and we get reward in haba now i i want to review one important teaching that we learned last week i think it's one of the most important teachings that we had in a in a very long time and that is the question of rabbi avram falaji namely why it does the shohana say that of all of our fellas we should sing misra soyda because all sheriffs will become bottle except for miserable sada what exactly is so significant about mismala sauda until rabbi and the pada as abraham said he saw the holy magala mukhers and the magala mukuis teaches us an amazing idea that the entire structure of tfila is marumas and misra lasaida namely we know that a person should not be oimed lahispal until um a person should not be oi maid lahispalo until he learns a divar so uh therefore ms marla soyda begins miznar sada begins with hariu lashem kal by the way i just want to mention that the series of uh shurim ant filo sponsored by our good friend robert sala rose was his brother reveals that the first part of is he got that by the way i saw last night in the he does payrosh on tehillim ends in a sadi that's 131. let's let's try that again uh so that's 11 41. um how are you which teach to be successful in one should have humility be resumed the next part of tefillah is as follows serve god with joy that refers to carbonis is a reference to suke de simra then after sukhi desire is hashem the second aspect of shema is recognizing that the 248 words of shema correspond to the 248 avarim namely their 248 words of shema give life to each one of our evaram huasanu the loya he made us that is a reference to that dimension of shema then there's another important dimension of shama that one should imagine themselves being moist or nephesh hashem that is referencing were like his sheep that we would go to slaughter for him then we say after shabbo shahar of besoida come to his gates in gratitude that refers to the first three brothers of shema esri khat say roy the khatsa refers to the main body of shamanism refers encapsulates and incorporates all of the tv now i would like to share with you an amazing thing i don't think anybody ever knew this i'm pretty sure last week we asked the contradiction when we started hoidu we said the word is hashem you ever wonder about that why in hoidoo is it hashem and in israel haidulai it's a mill now isn't that a good question does anybody even have an inkling of the answer why is one a mill l and one of milra no guessing either you know or you don't know and guess where can we guess no no guessing this is not amateur hour over here and one sounds like you're just doing it to praise the kardashian you should praise hashem give him the praise hold up hashem is like hello [Music] so my father zog is unsigned taught me there's a rule in hebrew grammar called means it recoils back and this is the following principle you cannot have a mirah followed by a mill l it's too crowded in other words if word two is a mil l where the emphasis on the first syllable and the the word before cannot be a mil raw because if you emphasize the ultimate symbol and then the first syllable it's it's a conflict it's too crowded how you do how you do lie lie is a mill there's only one syllable so it's a lie so you can't say haidullahi because then the haidu and the lie are going to be crashing into each other so we apply the following principle that even though in hebrew by default every word is a mirah but if the next word is the mil l the word before jumps back and you emphasize the first syllable so it becomes hoi do li not hoi du lai hai du lai but by haidu la shem god's name is always the milra la shem not la shem la shem and therefore haidu remains the milra well so today you got a real treat you know the kabul says diktuk is like mustard a little bit is good too much you know but this is a very a little bit of mustard is really delicious you know so that's the claw of no soy where how you do la shem becomes the mil-l and how you do excuse me okay so let's i want to share with you some thoughts from harav viktor miller zakat lebracha and some other thoughts as well what is the difference between a sheer and a zemer sheer just means poetry no music no melody sheer refers to poetry zemer is with music a melody so mismar lesoida that means this song was not just a sheer but i don't understand last week we learned from yaakov that the mismala said was enacted because every day we experienced miracles and we don't recognize the miracles that we experience so we have to so to speak bring a toy every day that's why there are 41 words in israel so the 40 can i get the 40 loaves and one can i get the carbon itself and so here the guy experienced the miracle why is he saying hey harir hashem colores everybody blow the shauper hey pal you're the one who has to show gratitude well what does everyone else have to do with it so rav miller expresses the following idea that one who wants to express thanks to hashem he should be aware not only the kindness to him but the kindliness to everyone and therefore he awakens all men and summons them to praise and thank hashem that's why where you had a salami sandwich but the broccoli you say who knows because when somebody wants to thank hashem he has to express gratitude to all of mankind secondly because of our love of hashem we want to bring all of mankind to his service because a loyal servant endeavors that everybody else should also likewise serve the master so the reason why we want other people to thank hashem is an expression of gratitude one who truly feels gratitude to hashem is aware and cognizant not only of hashem's kindness to him but hashem's kindness to everyone secondly out of our loyalty at hashem we want everyone to be loyal to hashem thirdly we are so overwhelmed with gratitude takadesh baruch our gratitude hashem is so immense we have to thank hashem for teeth and for gums and for a tongue and for lips and for speech and for a nose and for smell and for hearing and for eyes and for two eyes and we could go on the whole day there's little our mouth is not enough to be able to speak all day long of all the things we have to thank hashem for i just read last night in a hebrew safer quoting an english safer that harava viktor miller is on his last day in this world the doctor came into the room and he said rabbi how are you doing and rav miller says he doesn't have time to discuss that because he's so busy thanking hashem because we are commanded to love hashem especially in the last moments of life via sasha you need to love god even when he takes you out of the world and how do you come to love god by appreciating everything he gives you so miller says today is the most important day of my life the last day of my life is the most important day of my life i am reviewing all the things i have to be grateful to hashem and ray miller solicited the doctor that the doctor should help him count and enumerate all the things that he should be grateful for so the reason why we summon other people to thank hashem is because we're acknowledging our mouth alone is not powerful enough to thank hashem for everything there is to thank him for hashem so therefore we have to summon the mouths of all of mankind and we have to summon the heaven and the earth and all of creation to enlist them in our task of thanking hashem now we don't just say we don't just make a song for god and we don't just make music for god but rather hario make noise sound the trumpet sound the trumpet meaning we have to do even more than just music and melody now we say if do us hashem serve god with joy this is very important yeah i really appre thank you god i thank you hashem i really appreciate you gave me a mouth thank you and i appreciate you gave me teeth teeth are really good i don't have to drink milkshakes every single day three times a day i could actually eat food and gums are very important otherwise the teeth would have nothing to be in thank you hashem okay and what are you doing about your gratitude nothing not it's not worth anything gratitude is expressed by avoida and therefore we have to perform that with joy because we are burdened with the following question what can i repay takadesh baraku for everything he bestowed upon me so because of his love for hashem a person wants to please hashem and when he has a new opportunity to serve hashem he rejoices so at least he could pay hashem back in some measure the adam by the way wrote a commentary on misra soyda it's printed in the back of the adam and he says on the passage he quotes the zayar kaihanim emanate from the realm of simcha leviam emanate from the realm of ranana so if do they avoid that's where kahanam come from the world of simcha um if there is and now this brings us to a very interesting subject there is a famous cree civ in israel who asanu he made us we're not his but it's spelled it's red it's pronounced to him we are it's written aleph it's pronounced above it's written not we are it's pronounced to him we are the author the person is toilet on himself and he says you know this world if someone is successful they think ah it's all me it's all me you know you see sometimes i remember there's a there's a guy in camp and okay he had a he had a good a decent voice and so did another 200 people who had the exact same voice quality and all of a sudden this guy is a big star and he's making tapes and it could have easily been anybody else why him does he have a better voice did he did he is he more um dynamic no three butterson said he's gonna be a singer and uh i'm gonna give him parnassa as a singer that's the way it is but people think it's kaikriva it's doesn't mean he made us like fixed up the cow he prepared the cow hua sanu wherever we are in life god fixed us up he made us into that the loya knew and it wasn't us you hear that that's the meaning of the cr of the xiv it has two meanings who asanu god made us we belong to him or who us god position us to wherever we are in life and it wasn't us our money success whatever we've accomplished it was not us very interesting that's how the kai autumn explains the creek sieve over here on the other hand in the uh safety hilos who wrote the yoyo safety hilos antihilum of yosef preharets in the name of rebuda in by the midst of says you know i love the jewish people because even when i give them greatness they lower themselves they humble themselves this is what it means we say like this even when god makes us great who our son who god fixed us up we're as if we don't exist we humble ourselves and then the loya then we belong to him reads it like this god has made us great he's elevated us he's promoted us but us we're nothing we lower ourselves we humble ourselves and if we do that the lloyd with the then we are truly desired by hashem or the khida says exactly like the khayodam or lafib shutter after he made us we thank him that it's all from him and we didn't do anything by the way in the safer dark a moosa of yak of naiman rashiva of pettach tikvah i believe he writes that he personally heard from the prophet who said in the name of the dubna magid hashem who are like so there's a creek sieve here he said as follows there are two people they're both going on the room one guy feels this his pocket he's missing his wallet he grabs his friend he said give me back the money he says you know i took it did you see me take it he says pal we're in a desert you know we're on a desert island here we're walking in the desert it's just me and you i had my wallet you're the only option how do i know you took it there's nobody else around i didn't steal my own wallet it must have been you so we say like this listen to this this is what the said hashem we know know that hashem made us you know how we know how do we know hashem made us you know why because it wasn't us we didn't do it we didn't make ourselves and therefore the loya we know that we definitely belong takadesh barco let's conclude with one little lumdus from rabshimanshwab zakat lebraka in his safer ian fila come to his gates with the carbon taida his courtyards with praise rib that you're not going to add to the city of ushalayim unless you have a melech a navi or invitumim and a sanhedrin of 71 and two carbon toidas and ashir meaning you cannot change the dimensions of jerusalem unless you have to encircle the area the new added area with two lachme toida of comets and with the sheer mismarasaida in other words you need to bring a karmantaida and say miznar ala saidah and say yoshi besais now the gemara says marv rabbi say you know that miserable is the song of the future it's of us that's what the ghazal tell us commentary is based on that principle now in the future you shall i am will expand adams that's what we mean yum in a small to freight see right yum it will smell to fruits it will expand it will it will spread out adamsek now you shalom is going to get bigger and the gates of shilayama are going to reach damascus so by the way if you want to get you want a good real estate you buy right outside of the gates right where the prices just start going down because one day they're going to be within the walls but anyway um because it's going to be a capital city for all the world like it says venarro of calgoyam now if they do that you don't think your slime could just expand they're going to have to bring to la me toida so we tell the um come to his gates with the carbon toida his hot serve when you come is the salmig dash you can only come with the toida and tehilah refers to the shear accompanying the carbon taida so that's the conclusion in other words one day your shalom will expand and we'll have to do so through the carbon tidal and mismala said hashem the next year on fila i believe will be which has eighteen sukim and eighteen mentions of akalash baraku's name look forward to next time um if anybody
