okay so we're speaking today about a super important topic which is objectives of prayer prayer what do you accomplish when you pray what are you doing and the example we always like to give is if someone gives you a very boring job which is um let me here's here's a table a bunch of wooden blocks turn the blocks over again and again and again right then uh and and just keep on doing it right how much you're gonna pay you thousand dollars an hour so if you know you're making a thousand dollars an hour you work eight hours yeah that's eight thousand dollars in a day that's very good you wouldn't be upset right let's say there's another person doing the same job but she doesn't know she's doing that job he has no idea he should they don't know that they're getting paid a thousand dollars an hour so what would you do like oh it's torture so when you dive and you don't know what you're doing it's totally boring it's totally frustrating you're like what am i doing like every day yeah but if you dive in a way that's really you know like oh chris brawlhall like what am i accomplishing when i dive in it's completely different planet everything's totally different so that's what we're going to speak about today the objectives of dominating what do you accomplish when you pray so the first thing you accomplish is the mitzvah of a moon it's a mitsubishi derisi it's one of the 613 myths it's the most fundamental mitzvah of imunna to believe in hashem now it's not just believing hashem it's it's being aware that hashem is here it's being aware that hashem is here so if two people are sitting in a room with you you'd have 100 awareness that you're with someone you was like well i kind of know that they're there you know because you see them because you see that they're there they're real you can relate to them you feel their presence that's what a muna is and moon is i feel the presence of hashem now davening is an a chance to build that feeling and to express that feeling oh hashem i i i i'm talking to you you don't talk to somebody like you don't talk to someone it's not there you know even in the camera and people record like you know even if you have a zoom shear or whatever the case might be right you know zoom share and you usually see a name on the screen you know like if there's only one participant in the zoom share and you're not recording you're not going to have a conversation you're not going to do it has to be somebody there even if i can't see them i can't hear them but i know that they're there so when you talk to course warhol in fila even though you can't see him and you can't hear him you know the camera says there cody sparkle right in the bottom of the zoom shirt and it's right there you know you know it's real okay so every time you do that you're making it you're more of a feeling in your own heart and a feeling and who you are that a curse brought was real so thila is a is a vehicle it's a means of building your muna and doing the mitzvah muna that's objective number one building your muna and and uh and expressing your moon and doing the mids of the moon that's number one number two is very similar uh there's a mythical bitahon which is trust in hashem it's immediate of trust in hashem now what does trust me trust means a little kid puts his hand up and he goes with mommy mommy's carrying me i'm going with mommy you don't say mom do you have a do you have you know you have ways do you know where you're going you have directions like you have money you have your credit cards is there gas in the car like mommy goes takes me some place i just go with mine put my hand up like a little kid and i go mommy's taking me and that's it i don't think that's that's me talking a little kid falls asleep in the back seat of his mommy in the abba's car he doesn't think like mom you guys know how to drive watch that guy in the left i think he's coming over like you fall asleep in the backseat you look out the window like that's trust it's a feeling of hashem you're taking care of me now when you pray to a kurdish borho what you're saying is it is an expression just like just like a muna it's building bitahon building trust in hashem and it's expressing trust in hashem now why is it building and expressing trust in hashem so let's say you have um you live in a neighborhood right and you have two people in your neighborhood that are billionaires and you really want a car so you go up to the guy you say hi i know it's a little weird it's only you know eight o'clock at night now we didn't have an appointment or anything but um can you buy me a mercedes please it's so awkward like buy your mercedes who are you why why are you asking me right so totally random it'd certainly be even more random if the next day in the morning you're knocking this door again hi can you buy me a mercedes uh no and then you come in the afternoon hi can you buy me a mercedes like and then at nighttime like it doesn't get more awkward than that if i'm asking this guy for mercedes it means i think that there's some kind of relationship here already and i trust that there's a good possibility he's going to get it for me not just that i'm going to wear him down to this weirdo called altman is going to leave him alone and stop knocking on his door like it's going to be a little like it has to be that we have a relationship so when i ask hashem three times a day for anything at all and i speak to hashem can i have wisdom hashem can i have forgiveness hashem can i have heal health can i have you know clarity all kinds of things you ask for him cool love you sure all the things you're asking you're expecting that it's normal to ask him that i trust hashem you get good possibility you're going to answer me so when you ask him it's because there's a pre-existing relationship and you're building that feeling of be talking of of trust i shall i trust you you're going to take care of me just like a little kid goes out with his mommy and goes out with his daddy and he's going to be okay and mom and dad are going to take care of me same idea same exact idea so tefillah is a vehicle for bitahon it's a means of trust of building bitakhon building trust in hashem and also expressing that trust in hashem if i wasn't if i didn't trust him hashem that is going to take care of me i would never ask him hashem please can you give me a mercedes please give me pardon also obviously because it'll be totally weird good wonderful next the next objective of tefila this is really interesting very very simple straightforward actually is there's a mitzvah to pray there's a mitzvah to pray why am i praying because i have to pray because it's a mitzvah to pray every single day yeah now it's it's actually a malocus the rambam says the purpose of prayer is uh the rama says says and to serve him with your whole heart the rambam learns that that's a mix for the race so it's a mitzvah to raise up for people to pray once a day once a day to say hashem in the in the form of praise request and thanks hashem you're the best please can i have a lamborghini thank you very much according to the round bomb you fulfilled your mitts with the raza of praying every single day that way nice and straightforward very simple but according to uh the way we possibly can that's not a it's we don't possibly like the wrong bomb it's not a midfield the rights to pray every every day but it isn't meant for the reborn to pray every day so when you're praying you're doing the mitzvah there are a button of prayer you're doing a mistake keep in mind like oh i have a mistake for the prayer it's not just well you know no it's immense you have to pray okay so what am i praying for because i have a mitzvah do i make kitties on friday night yes it's a mitzvah i make abdullah multi shabbos yes you know it's a mitzvah i do memphis right i don't touch mooks on shabbos you know move moksa that's yeah mitzvah that's what i do i'm doing mitzvahs fantastic so i'm doing the mitsubishi it's very obvious has to be mentioned very obvious right okay now here's what's super interesting number four number four is there's a mitzvah with the rise of via hafta hamoha loving your fellow jew like yourself we have to recommend people ask why i have to love my jew like myself why can't i love everybody like myself so we are supposed to be a light to the nation supposed to be a a shining light to the nations of the world well the light is is flickering the light has problems right now not a lot a lot of a lot of jewish people right now don't know much about terry don't know much about hashem though i'm not so connected to uh to to what hashem wants us to be doing in the world so first we have to work on ourselves make ourselves a complete light a light should shine properly that's by taking care of client soil then we can start the jewish people then we can start shining to the rest of the world okay fine now means love your fellow jew like yourself means benefit them do something good for them make them feel good now what does that mean make them feel good so if you pray for someone you are helping them you're benefiting them you're doing something good for them every single prayer every single prayer is effective there's not a single prayer in the universe anywhere anytime it doesn't help in some positive way every single prayer is effective now if that's the case when you pray for your friend you're helping her you're helping him if you're helping her you're helping him you're doing the misfit the right so of the ahafta laurel love your fellow jew like yourself that's amazing now that's why is that so amazing so listen to this if you pray shimona esre the amida there's eight there's 19 brochures in the media the first three are praised the last three are thanks yeah but the middle 16 no the middle 13 that's one of my height but the middle 13 brachas are requests there are 13 broncos of requests so now you're about to dive in minha let's say you're going to maintain you say you know what hashem all the requests that i make i'm going to have my roommate in mind or my friend my sister my brother my father my mother whatever one of my friends my room any pick anybody you want pick one person and think um every single request i make is gonna be for that person now every time you make a request in schwann esri and you're doing it for that person you're fulfilling the mitzvah of via love your fellow jew like yourself now why is that a big deal well if there are 13 requests in one minha and you have your friend in mind that's 13 fulfillments derisa up from the torah of yahweh so now you've taken the mitsvadura button of minha and turned it into a mitzvah 13 minutes is the racer because you pray for one person that's amazing if you pray twice a day that's 26 to racist just for praying for just your one friend that's awesome by the way it's more than that because you it's each one of these requests brachas is not just one request it's more than one you say you're asking for three right there even though it's one bracha yeah slack lonno carpenter yes bunch of things you're asking a bunch of things one one after the other you're asking for one thing at a time so if you have her in mind it's more than 13 devices for every single smaller x-ray now if you have two people in mind it's 26 or it's more wow yeah so the shimano s-ray is a is a excuse me saying this way is a is a mitzvah derisa factory if you have one or two people or three or four people in mind you're gonna get tons of mitzvahs derisa from wanderer button shmon esri it's amazing now among other things one of the reasons why i think this is so powerful is because sometimes people have a harder time connecting to prayer but they connect to khasit they care about all the people they really love people and it's hashem i can't see you it's hard for me like it's hard for me to talk every single day the same words maybe i don't feel so motivated it's hard sometimes i feel motivated times i don't feel motivated but if i turn but you can turn shimon ashrae into an act of chesed if you pray for other people that's really what it is it's amazing so that's a totally different flavor in small ass right now okay now what if it goes a little further am i able to dive in for every jew on the planet well the truth is we do do that right riffa anu heal us that's every jew who's us it means every jew on the planet you buy yourself you damage my ass right refine who's us like who's here black background what's going on here nothing yeah like no it doesn't mean a lot of people yeah it means every jew on the planet so you really are praying for everyone but here's the thing you can't do the mitzvah the hamocha i love him like myself if i don't know who he is so there are jews in japan and there are jews in france and england and there are jews in south america and there are jews in new york and california all over the place right canada right australia they're jews everywhere but i don't know them particularly so i can't do the mitts of loving them like myself even though i'm benefiting them so the mitsubishi mocha only works for people that you know or you at least know their name you know there's a specific person so even though i do pray for everyone it doesn't work if you after it doesn't work if i pray for someone i don't even know who they are i don't even know the name i have to know someone specific okay but there's another mitzvah called you shall walk in his ways you shall walk in his ways you shall walk in his ways now that mitzvah is just like hashem is kind you be kind just like hashem is forgiving you be forgiving just like hashem is merciful you'll be merciful that mitzvah is a completely different planet you don't have to love them to benefit them you don't even have to know who they are to benefit them you just have to benefit them so for example if you go into uh into a bathroom someplace and there's no tissues and you drop a big pack of tissues in there big fat packet tissues right and the next you know couple of days ten different people benefit from those tissues you don't know who they are but every person that you benefited from those tissues you're doing the midfield eraser of the halaq the bedrock we shall walk in his ways you're benefiting them it's not about loving them it's about benefiting them which you did now think take this this month that's right so you say hashem i'm diving exponents right now with my friend in mind my other friend my sister my brother my my husband my wife my parents whatever you want yeah my neighbors you know my my my friends in class my friends in my bunking camp my my my my co-workers in in in work whatever you want yeah the people who might call all the people like oh yeah my car bruce is everything yeah whoever individual people every individual person is fantastic and now you say three words basheem cole israel in this in the name of the entire jewish people i am dividing now not just for those people but also for every jew on the planet oh ho now what's happening now you're benefiting let's say there's 20 million jews in the world no one knows how many jews are in the world let's say 20 million years in the world yeah you're benefiting every year because you're praying for them because every single prayer is effective yeah so now you're saying hashem we should all have reform we should all feel better we should all have um health we should all have blessing we should also have all of clarity but i'm for every jew on the planet okay how does that work now so hashem says either that's one mitzvah that includes 20 million people or 20 million mitzvahs which is amazing so let's say it's one minute to include 20 million people so here's the example i always give you guys right this is amazing imagine hashem has a map of the world it's a dark map and every time a person does a mitzvah is a little blip of light blip flip flip flip all these blips all over the place people doing mitzvahs all the plays fantastic right so a lot of blips around you shalom a lot of you in there around bernay brock right neighborhood yeah all these other places uh and you have people doing misses around new york and london wherever wherever jews are all over the world if they do a small mitzva it's a little blip if they do a mitzvah that's big it's a bigger bigger blip right mysterious netfish with energy with kavanagh with love and fear it's more of a blip a bigger blip a bigger light what happens what does this mitzvah look like if you do a mitzvah hashem forgive us i'm including every jew on the in the entire planet 20 million juice what do you think that makes it look like on hashem's chart you know blinding light it's like the sun coming out yeah and that's every request it's amazing so it's not like ah yeah it's not like that yeah it's because you're you're on like wow i'm doing a nuclear mix for here now the thing is like this yatar is like look rabbit opens trying to motivate you you know it's a video it's a class like he's trying to be like no this is not rabbi altman's terrorist i'm not making this up it's a mess with the race of a locked rock of walking on sham's ways what it's this is mainstream judaism yeah and you can have that also if you think about that there's more astray but you have to think about it you think you can even say hashem all smaller asteroids that i dive in today is for the whole jewish people you don't even have to say because the truth is just saying means the whole jewish people they just you don't realize what you're doing you're like that person who's turning over little blocks of wood on the table getting paid more than a thousand dollars an hour but you don't know what you're doing ah this is so boring yeah but now you know what you're doing it's different that it has energy to it and the atari is going to try to make you forget about this because that's his job go back to sleep don't think about the mitzvahs don't think about what you're accomplishing don't think about what's important to you don't think about what was important to hashem just go back to sleep and live life on autopilot then you'll be nice and bored and and you'll do things on a low level hey don't let it i'm not listening to you yeah i'm going to i'm going to stay awake i'm going to think about it chris brownhall think about the memphis think about a moon think about the home think about the reg think about it's amazing okay and that's only number four okay good by the way when it comes to your kids it's also a big deal because sometimes you have a child who's like you know you know they have to dive in every day they become a bar mitzvah boy they become a boss mitzvah and she really does need to dive in but she doesn't feel like it say listen but you're doing a big kindness to your friends pray for them i'll go oh okay so maybe that speaks to them the tested side speaks to them a different way good let's go a little further there's another concept here which is very interesting about davening that you accomplish um that hakuras broken wants us to connect to him he wants to hear our voice there's a positive that we say in shira shirim hashmi ini escolek let me hear your voice hashem says because your voice is sweet to me now this is interesting this is a topic by itself but it is necessary for every jew to talk to hashem on a regular basis it's it's necessary for the yid for the for the jew himself every all of us we benefit by talking to hashem hashem i hate to say this way such a such a a crass way of saying it hashem is the most important fact of the universe of life to not be aware of the kurdish border not to connect him is to miss the fundamental purpose of life which is to hashem made the world for us to ultimately connect him in the best way so to not be aware of him while we're alive is is a horrible mistake now one of the most direct ways to relate to hashem to feel that he's there is to cry out to him hashem says hashmini escalate i want to hear that voice i want to hear that voice there's a very very famous madrish where that talks about the jewish people leaving mitzrayim leaving egypt before we left egypt we were crying hashem save us these missions are killing us it's horrible we pray and we prayed and he prayed and the puzzle says uh the kaleidoscope went out beyond rama with an upraised hand which could mean that we had the upper hand but it could also mean the question safer says this the upper hand means that we with our hands raised in prayer what took us out of mitzrayim was our prayer to hashem hashem says beautifully crying out to me i'm going to my child i'm going to take you out of mitzrayim fantastic when we left we cooled off a little bit hashem says what happened now of course we prayed intense and we thanked hashem for sure but we cooled off a little bit you know when you have a very big need for something then you get that thing that you need so badly you tend to cool off a little bit so hashem says wait a second hashmi i want to hear your voice and then hashem sent paro after us running after us last week's partial bashala and we're like oh he's coming after us oh that's what i wanted i want to hear your voice it sounds like you know like so if you pray in an intense way if you pray on a regular basis you're making your you're making you're doing two things one is hashem wants to hear a voice here hashem you wanna hear my voice here it is i'm calling up i know you like to hear from me i'm talking to you respond that's right that's what we're doing so the next objective is you wanna hear my voice hashem here it is i'm talking to you and how do you relate to that well you know barker said we had a little girl last week uh a week and a half ago leonhara really cute yeah a little i don't know if you guys know that or not whatever anyway uh her name is uh her name is shayna rifka shayna rifka yeah anyway cute little baby parker sham she's healthy everyone's fine right so um when she makes like this little noise and she interacts with you she's a little bit young to interact because she's a little bit in you know in the in the dream world a little bit takes a few weeks before they get back to you know get into reality a little more but anyway when she makes this little sound like hey look she made that cute little sound you try to do something to make her make the sound again because it's such a pleasure for you that she's interacting with you that way babies are so fun they're so delicious they're so like leonardo so like they give you nachas so hashem i want to give you nachas you want to hear my voice here it is i'm dabbing so you can hear my voice you have nachas it doesn't matter what we say that's kind of like an inside joke you know people have inside jokes with the purpose of the conversation is not to relate information it's to show that we're close so we'll call up again again every time we talk to that person like make the same inside joke not because it's new it's because oh now i know that we're close i'm showing how close we are only we have this inside joke this special cacher you call hashem doesn't matter as much as you say just talk to him talk to him tell them like how important it is hashem the cash was important yeah number one the second thing is there's a certain another way to do this is to look at that i can avoid i can prevent a lot of difficulties the difficulties are supposed to happen i'll say that again yeah one of the objectives of prayer is to prevent difficulties that are supposed to happen hakuna sparkle wants to test us and give other reasons why class of shaman difficulty may happen to a person it could be a kapara it could be all kinds of things in atonement all kinds of reasons why that happens but there's a significant percentage of the difficulties that a person's supposed to have in the course of the year a significant percentage of difficulties that we can prevent just because we pray ahead of time hashem protect us from difficulties protect us from attacks from sickness from problems with the government problems with neighbors problems with health hospital all kinds of things um from mental issues and psychological issues prevent us from um bureaucratic issues who knows how much time you spend in the dmv and other places like that all over the place trying to get i'm trying to get that paper i couldn't get the paper they lost my paper yeah um one of my kids needed to get their social security and their passport so they got themselves the passport social security number but the social care number they never gave it to us we got it in the embassy in tel aviv then they moved the embassy to jerusalem and the msu line the american empire says like sorry you know we don't know anything about it that was the old embassy and the old embassy can't do anymore so she had to start all over to get the the papers that she needs it's a bureaucratic pain not the worst thing but it's a little bit of a hassle yeah so i shouldn't protect me from that stuff so hashem says oh you're praying to be protected from difficulty i'm going to take off 20 30 40 of the difficulty you're supposed to have this year instead of that horrible car accident instead of just a little fender bender or nothing happens instead of losing that money you're supposed to lose you didn't lose it yeah instead you lost you know your ice cream fell on the ground that's it you know your two dollar five dollar ice cream squad nothing yeah so another objective of prayer is to prevent difficulties now we should not get the feeling that hashem is standing over us trying to give us difficulty he's definitely not trying to do that the difficulties that we have khalilah could be a test test of our munda or a test of how we're going to act act in the right way and do the right thing even though it's difficult or it could be it's a kipper it's an atonement but whatever it is you can accomplish that through prayer instead of through the pain and difficulty of having the difficulty itself hashem says oh i'd much rather you have it through prayer much rather so that's a completely different perspective a different job in prayer this makes sense yeah okay great okay another objective of prayer there's so many here this is very interesting uh the mishnah says in perique elbows al shlosh divarum the world stands on three things al shlosh's omad on three things the world stands now i believe we spoke about this in the past when the world stands on three things that means hashem says if there are people involved in these three things then the world's going to continue if at any point you're going to have something that there's no one doing any of these three things the whole world goes back to nothing you need to have all three so what are they allah torah avoid there's three things that keeps the world going tori wrote learning torah a voda which is service of hashem serving hashem which simply speaking means a combination of prayer and carbonos that's a voda a vote the service of his prayer and carbonaros and the sacrifices in the temple and the last one is it so the world endures we still have a universe because there are people around tyra there are people doing a voda which is carbonos and fila we don't have carbons i'm going to mention that in a minute and people don't test it if at any point you don't have all three the the whole world puffs out of existence not a small thing you need to have torah avoida and gumilus has now do we have people learning tara or hashem yeah we have people doing hashem what about a voda a vote that is not a regular column like this it's only half a column we don't have carbonaros we only have tfila prayer so if every two on the planet praise intensely all we have is fifty percent it's like out there you're out there in a situation where like there's a horrible snowstorm and there's ice on the ground and you're driving your car and you have three great tires that are snow tires and gripping the road and fantastic there's strong winds right and you're in the back seat with your new baby or your wife and your child are in the back seat yeah and you're driving you're driving on the way to the bris you're and the third was where's the fourth tire the fourth tire is an emergency donut tire not the wide one like this but a narrow one like that it says do not exceed 35 miles an hour so you're hoping at that point that that tire is giving it's all to save you and your family that tire is a hundred percent of its fifty percent that's what fella is prayer is every single time you think that's those three steps forward with response i think to yourself oh we need every person every person out there dobbing as well as they can to make sure that we have that maximum 50 keeping up the world because this column of the world that keeps the world up this amud this column is only maximum fifty percent so i'm gonna do everything i can when i pray for a small sway because i'm holding up the universe when i do this which is no small thing this is one of the things that was me tremendously it was giving me tremendous motivation wow here i am someplace david who knows like who needs me oh no no hashem needs every person all hands on deck everyone involved doing this to keep the world going good so that's another idea to keep the world going another idea maybe at the bottom of the list which is very important is to know that prayer gives you things that you need in this world to get what you want now everyone knows that of course you want something pray for it everyone knows that but well does everyone really know that so prayer is described by the gemara as hayesha means life the temporal life life in this world there is nothing that we see in the physical world nothing at all nothing at all that we see in the physical world anywhere that doesn't come as a result of a prayer you see a hospital somebody prayed in some form for that you see blades of grass someone prayed for that in some form every single thing that you see is in some form the result of a prayer in some way a person should never think oh yeah it happened automatically no no either you prayed for it your friends your family avraham avinu adam harishon but someone along the line prayed for that thing otherwise you wouldn't see it it's a very important idea now so if you want anything at all you got to pray for it now you could rely on other people to pray for the things that you want but that's kind of a shame because maybe they won't pray for it maybe you won't get it so every single thing that you need from say hashem please i need parnosa i need health i need clarity i need uh i need rabbi all but not to make too many jokes in the in the class whatever the case may be right same joke again and again yeah whatever you pray for pray but pray for it that's another idea now the next objective of prayer and this is super interesting uh there uh berkowitz tells us that prayer is a chance to express our concerns for all of humanity to make us more sensitive to the needs of others this is a totally different flavor of prayer since we're praying for other people not just ourselves well other people need healing other people need parnosa other people need clarity other people need redemption yerushalayim the base of mig-dish other people not just me so when you pray in general you're thinking well you know there's a person going every day to the hospital to visit that person who's sick wow hashem heal them heal the person help the other person who's going to visit and give them partners to give them everything they need you think it gets you out of your own head it's stretching your rakhami muscles your mercy muscles your kindness muscles it's a completely different flavor of prayer it gets me think what does what other people need it's it's another way of doing fasted for other people incredible now what's interesting is what about if you pray for yourself does that include cressid is that is that a an act of kindness or not does that is that also true that you pray for yourself that's called that's called stretching my mercy my mercy muscles so the answer is yes there's a halachic status that you are your own closest relative what do you mean i'm me i'm not my own closest relative like i'm not related to myself i am myself what do you mean so the answer is that halachically speaking you're not a hundred percent yourself that sounds weird what do you mean in other words hashem gave us a body to take care of he wants us to take care of our own bodies make sure she gets enough sleep make sure he eats enough that's you yeah the body that loyally carries you around your whole life that's not you that's that you're you're in a shot you're in no shame you're not your body make sure you take care of it it gets good night's sleep it's healthy has the proper clothing it's warm what needs to be warm it's cool it needs to be cool everything shoes shoelaces you take care of its teeth give it everything you need so when you pray for yourself you're doing that you're stretching your rakhami muscles you're giving it what it needs so praying for yourself is also an example of stretching your rachelian muscles so these let's do a quick review what do we we speak about what's the what are you accomplishing when you pray the first thing you accomplish when you pray is you're doing the mitzvah of the munna you're expressing your belief in hashem and you're building your belief in hashem you're also doing the same to be taken trust in hashem you're showing your trust in hashem the
