Gateway To Tefilla - Secrets of the Number of Words and Letters of Kaddish

okay good afternoon I couldn't understand we're going to flip the order today first we're gonna have this Sharon biorefila and um we want to thank my dear friend in Los Angeles for sponsoring this series for his whole family let's begin this year this is going to be a brief share um with the words of the balship quoted by this holy safer benla ashri on this week's Parsha where God tells boy al-hateva come you and your whole household into the ark so literally means and his family needs to enter the Teva however the balship interprets it as referring to tefila enter with all of your limbs al-hateva to the words of tefila enter with all your 248 limbs the words of Phila and that's an important idea that Fila is an avoida to feel as a service it requires our full attention it requires our full mind it requires our full heart you know hazal tell us about the importance of FILA that we have to the hasida Murray shine him used to come an hour before the davening we're not on that madraga but at the very least we should try to come before the davening not only to show our that we value the tequila but for a person to have a settled state of being to be able to dive in they need to be there before that's just the way the human being works you know if you come in and you take the three steps back it's very hard to have a proper frame of mind to to be settled to Daven with any kind of just focus and here we're being we're being encouraged to enter the words of Phila but enter the words of Chila with all of your being with all your soul with all of your capacity so today we want to continue I want to talk about kadish today we uh we're up to the breakfast Karishma but before that we we're up to really the first kaddish of the day we have a tradition that we learned last week to say seven at least seven Kadesh three in chakras two women really we're supposed to do it before she want to ask her about chakras we can't do it before she went aslay we do it after zimra the shibali halek also point out that there are 10 Praises of kadish yes hello and what's interesting is that these ten Praises are broken up into two groups first you have yes and then you have a little bit later yes you have two and eight why do we have two and eight and why do we say kadish at all in the first place says he says he found the reason in the because we just said many and there is no pasok in the whole Torah that the name of God does not emanate from somehow the ineffable name emanates from the sukum of the Torah and it it generates so much sanctity therefore we don't even know how it emanates we say kaddish now the Chevrolet says a remarkable idea and I saw this um in the safer Right Care actually I went to a kid Isla Shabbos and somebody told this to me and I thought it was very interesting the um the reason why we have 10 Praises in college it corresponds to the ten statements with which God created the world as well as the Ten Commandments he says when they might have seek Albania's God of yes The Ten Commandments correspond to the ten statements of creation kadish has ten statements which are connected to 10 debris and we know when God gave us the Ten Commandments he gave it to us separately he said it and then the other eight separately so therefore in order to memorialize that commemorate that we say yes separately and then we have another eight but the right adds another amazing idea the rakak says our ten Han our ten fingers correspond to the creation of the world we could suggest why do the ten fingers correspond to the creation of the world well God created the world with his ten fingers uh you know it says so God created the world with his masayadov and for that reason norika says if you look at your fingers we also have eight fingers that are together and two that are apart and we're the only Creations that have that other animals that they have three fingers they don't have the thumb that's why they they can't grab on like we're able to the reason why our fingers are situated and positioned the way they are is in order to symbolize the Ten Commandments and the manner with which they were given namely two and then eight separately okay but let's let's uh elaborate on that further the balaturan points out that the response is so fundamental and so important that it corresponds to the first possible voracious the first possible has seven words and it also has 28 letters likewise has seven words and it has 28 letters likewise the Posse has seven words and it has 28 letters this is what mean anyone who answers with all of his kayak he becomes and it's like your macaw to turn harsinai because both the possible creation of the world and the possible the giving of the Torah and amen they all have seven words and they all have 28 letters so the three these three things correspond to each other seven words 28 letters but let's add based on what we just said that it comes out then that we know that they're 28 letters in yahishma rabba let's look at our hands for a moment because what what are what is a hand called Yad 14 why because the hand the grass says has 14 joints three in each finger except for the thumb has two so they're 14 total joints in the hand each each up the each finger has three parts right each finger has three parts three joints except for the thumb has two parts fourteen three six nine twelve fourteen fourteen fourteen kayak the 28 words of the 28 letters of Maya so we see that the responsible is akin to partnering with God in the creation of the world and the giving of the Torah that Kadesh was set after this recitation of sukim that all that from these took him emanate the name of Hashem we separate the two from the eight can I get the way the Asar sadibros was given okay that's our sheer today on tefila I would like yes yeah look it it always says Umar um and the truth is the truth is this is obviously God doesn't have hands and we're not allowed to say that but that's what the plastic says we mean it so so figuratively you're allowed to conjure up such a a concept but the truth is God didn't need to speak either and the gemara says God created the world with the letter hey and you know one of the reasons that gemara says because it's easy to fall out but there's an opening to come back in on the top Rabbi Aria Kaplan writes that the reason why hazal say that God created the world with the letter hey is only to that letter a is the easiest letter to say you almost don't have to do anything It's Just Breath that's to just that's to give us a picture of how uh on the behal on the on the part of the Creator it didn't take effort but God didn't even need that he didn't even need to to say anything okay
