Morning Blessings: Who Straightens the Bent - Rabbi Maimon Elbaz

[Music] the next barakah we say in the morning is calls okay - thank you a sham for straightening the bent did you ever start to think a sham that in your back your spinal cord keeps your head in your posture straight no one wants to be like the Hunchback of Notre Dame whose head was facing earth animals they walk generally their head is facing downward but a human being is able to stand with this posture tall that our animals like a penguin and others that can walk upright but we think a sham that we're not bent over when you build a building they are gigantic steel cylinders that holds up the building the human body is created with bones these bones are so strong they have to hold the hundreds of pounds of the person's weight without letting the person crumple it's such a wonderful feeling you're riding on your scooter or you're riding on a horseback or even your bicycle that feeling of being in charge sitting upright at a table reading a book you don't realize how lucky you are that's why Shannon doesn't want us to take us for things for granted he says make the bra coats thank you shame you're not like that caterpillar who has no bones or like that snake that slithers without a bone you have a spine a spy makes you stand tall and proud there's nothing like it Thank You Shem every day for this gift and it's interesting that there's 19 bones in your spine and guess what there are 19 Brock Holt and Schmo Ness ray and this is to show that when you bow down by Schmo Ness ray you bow down to say thank you a sham for the gift of every one of these bones and that's a tremendous gift something that we should constantly be grateful for
