Gateway To Tefilla: The Conclusion of Yotzer Ohr - "Awesome In Praise"

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com Everyone We are continuing in the bracher it's the longest rock on the sitter uh the Shira monfil are sponsored by our dear friend Los Angeles from South Rose nishmas his brother Stephen we mentioned uh this coming monthsary Shabbos is our annual campaign if anybody could be mishtaif tabial we're learning the end of the Brach I believe this will be our last year on United and then we will proceed to ahavaraba we've only spent the entire year on the Brach it's the longest bracha in the center [Music] we say it at the end basically we offer God three things we offer him ice zimi rice says the rebariakar that one of the reshine him that we give Hashem three shwachem corresponding to the three caduce corresponding to each we give Hashem akadusha so corresponding to kadosh we say this is says that this bracha we are we praise Hashem that he does eat things we say is to the planets Mars is in charge of Wars how is Hashem Yeshua is foreign says that these various Praises corresponds to the different celestial bodies now we're going to talk about the terms now many people say noise to Helix every single day let me know what it means what does it mean God is awesome in Praise fearsome and praise was written by rafazaria Figo zarya figures one of the Italian ballet darshanim binalism is such an important safer all the subsequent suffrage on the ideas of we say unto him if do as Hashem serve God in fear the gilu Barada rejoice in trembling what does this mean why should you serve God In Fear everybody likes to sing if notice how nobody sings that that somehow is not did not become as popular so Rosario Figo says that even when a person serves Hashem you should serve him in fear why always be concerned maybe you're coming up short from this type of fear it's not like other fears other type of fears a person is distressed when he's afraid like it says yaakov was afraid and he was distressed he was distressed that he was afraid fear causes distress but the kind of fear of avoidance Hashem is you know maybe I'm not serving Hashem properly you know I try to learn but maybe my learning is not done in the proper way maybe it's missing some ingredient maybe it's not with enough avas Hashem maybe it's not with enough devotion this is a healthy kind of fear usually fear is debilitating it it engenders stress this kind of fear is invigorating always being concerned maybe I'm not fulfilling what I need to this is an honorable fear and you should rejoice in such a fear if somebody serves Hashem and they have genuine concern maybe I'm not serving Hashem properly maybe my davening is not the way it's supposed to be maybe it's not the way it's supposed to be that kind of era serve Hashem with fear what kind of fear fear that maybe I'm not doing everything correctly and then if you have that fear vigilu birada rejoice in that fear and then in missile it says someone who's a shame even when he's going in the right path he's always afraid maybe he's not fulfilling his obligation but somebody who despises the way of Hashem and Mark said disgraces him you know some people make the mistake Yura is if you do an aveira so you have to be afraid of punishment but if you're on the right path what are you afraid of and what they don't understand is what Hashem desires is the era of those who are are doing the right thing it is very dear to Hashem when someone who is on the darakayashar and even so he is concerned you know but maybe I'm not doing enough maybe I'm not doing it correctly maybe there's more I could do like Maisha says what God wants of you is to fear him while you're serving him and this displays itself in three ways number one when you're learning when a person enters the world of learning he should be afraid Maybe he might make a mistake or he won't get to the right path like when he entered the base nadrish that if somebody precedes his pursuit of wisdom with yira that may be his sin or maybe he won't understand it correctly so that's the kind of uh observance and that will uh will endure now the ravazaria Figo says there's another place where this fear plays out see when you're doing a Mitzvah let Samson be afraid you know maybe I'm not fulfilling all the punctilious details maybe I'm missing one of them is my fill in the right place many people they uh forget where their hairline used to be and the villain gets rather close to uh to their nose or to below the hairline the fill in cannot be even one hair's breath below the the hairline so don't be embarrassed go over to your rub and whether you're 10 years old 50 years old or even if you're 190 years old go over to your rub and say rev is my filling in the right place oh how could I do that I know where my tone is supposed to be no no no no go over to your rough make sure your phone is still in the right place that's called Yara shamayam you're afraid maybe I'm not doing the midsole right go over to your rough ask your of you know are my rootsua is black enough I see people they have plenty of resources to buy new resource and yet the retsues look like uh you know they were in the washing machine you know sometimes the twist needs to be replaced go over to your rub and say you know are my routes good go over to your oven so you know is there anything that I uh that you see that I I'm not doing right you never know maybe we we have a very favorable opinion of ourselves even when you're going on the right path be concerned maybe there's something I'm not doing correct now this is not this is not anxiety we're not talking about unhealthy uh second guessing yourself that's something that also has to be uh addressed there's a very fine line between unhealthy anxiety and healthy the way to know what's what is that if if you're in a state of simcha so then it's healthy if it makes you depressed then chances are it's uh it's an somewhat of an illness but it's a very fine line but the ideal level of uh serving of Hashem is that it should be accompanied by yira genuine now the third level the hash Lucy when you're Downing tashem it's dangerous foreign in other words when you're praising Hashem am I saying the right Praises do I have a right to praise Hashem who am I to praise Hashem it's almost uh it's it's frightsome it's fearsome so when we say Hashem is that when we praise Hashem it is awe-inspiring it is fearsome because we ourselves are afraid to say the Praises of Hashem lest we're not doing it right lest we're not saying the right Praises lest we're not worthy to be saying the Praises that's what it means all aspects of Hashem should it be accompanied with a certain degree of era including the praise of Hashem that's the meaning of naira okay now at the end of the brother we say veracious this comes from this so this past January I uh before there may be October that's close to be at the cover of the schlach in taveria I also had to be at the schlacha's house in the old city where he had his bezden Horowitz he says this is coming to contravene even those who are not minimum even those who believe that Hashem created them and even those who believe Hashem created the world and he has a con the ability to stop the sun in its tracks and he has the ability to interfere and intervene in anything that happens in the world but many people have the mistaken notion that yeah God created the world and he could intervene at any time but in general everything is on autopilot we think the way the world works are you know like you have these two in the cockpit of the plane they they take off they put they put into the computer headed to Israel they take a nap for nine hours and they wake up you know they're uh over the Mediterranean they're 50 miles from Tel Aviv and then they come in and they they do the landing but most of the flight is on autopilot we think life is like that we think our colors will put life on autopilot and once in a while we need him to intervene you know maybe if someone's not feeling well someone needs Yeshua so your brother some come you know wake up help me out oh then then if we dive in well enough Hashem will uh come in and he'll take care of things no that's kafira that's heresy it's heresy to believe that at any point in the running of the world things are on autopilot until Hashem steps in it is heresy to say that God created the world he basically gave over the controls to his you know his servants and then he'll come and uh he'll step in when need be no God does not stop constantly recreating re-designing reconvi reconfiguring every single event that happens in the world at every moment if Hashem would not constantly be infusing life into a person giving the heart the ability to beat giving the lungs ability to inhale every moment everything would stop is every moment Hashem is Hashem is everything that happens in the world is the constant choice and every moment Hashem is influencing as things are happening now we say at the end of the Fila khadas said something interesting he says we know that at the yams of even the maidservants experienced the Divine Light of Christians says they experience the Divine Light of Miami was intended to include everyone associated with the Jewish people just like the shift when they left mithrayim now just to conclude the bracha of sir are in the bracha we say the word Ira five times this is to what we say in voracious rabba it says or five times the five books of the Torah so in the Brach we have the expression of our five times can I get the five Great lights namely boracious have a wonderful Shabbos and uh we'll see everybody next week if anybody wants to join us at 1pm there is perki advice
