Gateway to Tefilla - The Unique Word - "Halleluya''

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay bruce welcome everyone sorry for the little glitch over there we're um resuming our beard fila shear we took a little we took a break between pesach and shibuyas for perky avoids which we usually do every year and um this series is sponsored by my good friend robert sal rose of los angeles anders master's brother sv ben levy so we're going to uh continue our series with two shiram today we're going to um start with the word halaluka now we learned we spent a few sessions studying the tafil of hoydu which comes from divyamim and was actually a shira that was commissioned by david malach to the singer asaf to compose a song for the tamid shall shachar which began hashem kirovishmai and the end of the song is altigu then the shira of the thomas is shiro la shem kala aaretz and it ends the imro hashino like shane and that is the end of the shear namely it ends baruch hashem israel minha lombiada that is the end of the shira of the now we're going to study the completion of that sentence namely the completion of that sentence is barak hashem and then the pasta concludes the people said amen and praise hashem that's not part of the she-ra that's a record of the response of the people when they heard that the nation was singing to hakodesh barco so this is the response of the people and it's sort of placed into this very passage however in the way this plastic is recorded in tehillim there's a discrepancy with the way that it's recorded in the ray hayam our hoidu comes from devayamen and in dubai we and praise to hashem in tehillim it says the america um so that's very interesting because the gemara says case call is one word is one word what about me we don't know what rebecca what would rob say though about hallelujah so clearly rav holds hallelujah are two words says it's one word now if it's one word it's the word hallelujah according is one word and it's one entity on the other hand raf holds it's two entities hallelujah and ka is kaidesh um and that argues on rabieshwa ben levi says what's hallelujah praise hashem with many praises comes from schwab and he says something remarkable over here he says until here is the song that david enacted um the pasta continues that the whole nation said sheco anyone who's heard the song in the morning when they heard these praises of god they enthusiastically responded now to hillam it says barack hashem like is one word and if it's one word it's even though god's name is there it doesn't have kadusa the name of god becomes a helic of the word like israel right if your name is israel you're not called yestrachel right um if somebody's name is eliyahu he's not kailee kaku right so somebody's name is daniel his name is not danikel it's one name and it's not kodesh it's not the name of hashem once the name of hashem becomes part of the name it becomes a shame coil according to rabbi rav holds it's two words there's hallelu and ka and therefore according to rav you cannot erase the name of hashem so says rob schwab something amazing it could be indirect it says hallel la shem that's indeference to rav because it's two separate words hallel is coil and la shem is kodesh not halaluka and what we say until him it says hallelujah and that's like that it's one word and it's a shame so schwab says the discrepancy to indirect is uh sort of inclined toward these two different uh dice okay be it as it may the gemaram sachem continues and this is something i actually spoke out um what does the word hal mean halal you know we don't say halal today we only say halal on certain days in certain times what does halal mean so the government sacrament says pligi di de adida rabbi shobhan levi argues on himself and levy may be sure ben levy says um the greatest form of praise of hashem is hallelujah why because it combines and fuses a praise and god's name together so the gemara seems to say that there's a steer on rabbishaw ben levy because if shubham levy says hallelujah refers to many praises but elsewhere he says hallelujah is combining the name of hashem with a shabbat and the reason i'm pronouncing the word is according to the gemara that it's one word it's a khoyal it's a shamehold it's not a shame kaidish now says hallelujah shaquille o'neal what does it mean to combine god's name and his praise in one name and that is in other words just praise god ashrae sheer um what's the concept of combining god's name in the praise the answer is you're returning the light to its source if you put a mirror opposite the sun the royal boy shemesh and nick reflection and you look at the illumination of the sun that's called the refraction shemesh which is only like a shadow and a semblance of the sun so what we're saying is cain kisa when we're saying praise that's fit for god that we're so to speak re returning and reflecting the light to him hari nira bibaya hashem it becomes apparent in the shadow where the reflection the light of god vim king yesh bihalo so there is in the praise the gam or hashem the shame so what i think rip swab is saying is the same way if you put a mirror in front of the sun you're reflecting the light back to its source it's not the original light but it's an element of life of light when we when we praise our kalash barco we're returning the light to him what does that mean we're saying that all of the gifts of life whether it's life itself whether it's our parnassa whether it's our family whether it's our jobs whether it's our happiness we're reflecting it back to its source and we're saying it all comes from so the is not just thank you hashem but it's also the attribution of its source that it all stems and it's all rooted in so in that case it's so to speak the praise contains in it the name of hashem itself that's the concept of halal where bihiloi nero alai roshi where we're literally reflecting the the light of hashem back to him okay that is the first offering today and now we're going to move on to offering number two you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
