[Music] [Applause] [Music] so i'm sure you noticed that in the last couple of days we added a certain prayer to our agenda which is called avino malcano every time after shemonia and shaharit and minha we say a certain recite a certain prayer that is called now even though now is the 10 days of chuva and it's the most auspicious time to do as the prophet says seek hashem when he's closed and call him when he's available it's referring to to say mhuva the talmud says now if you do tribal nation right away you get answered so we added this prayer but nevertheless this is applicable all year round anytime when a person wants to do chuwa this will be valid but what's the idea behind avinu malcano if you now get called subpoena to go to court and it's a big case now you're praying who's going to be the the judge you know i told you last class i was uh facing the trial of my life i was arrested you know the prosecution demanded 40 years i was about to go to 40 years to jail and the whole time you were praying who's going to be your judge if you get that judge you are done you get this judge oh this judge is good and they tell you who are the options of the judges and the whole time you know i don't want to do what some non-jews do they cross their fingers i would just pray hashem just make sure that the judge is going to be the good one and in the end my specific case i got the one in the middle not the real wicked one not the real lenient one the one in the middle but really the ultimate judge is the master of the universe now why is that important to know because a lot of people when it comes to doing judges you and to some people that can become very scary and very uh you know discomforting and whatever i'm going to be judged now what if i'm going to be judge wrong or bad so comes the prayers to tell you you should be very happy because you got the best judge you know who's your judge your father that's why we say avino after that we say malcheno our king so really who's our judge it's our father he judges us now wouldn't he be the best judge to have us judge us of course after that we say malcheno our king but first of all is our father there's a verse in the chapter 32 live love is the heart very powerful chapter you should read it every day in your path of chuva it's very short also try to you know add a few things to your for your daily agenda just remember chapter 32 in this chapter verse 10 it says the one who puts his trust in the shay in the master of the universe kindness will accomplish him the more you put your trust in hashem the more kindness hesed surrounds you so i know ashley is my judge he's my father it's like me now going to my father can you judge me this should bring us to a state of utter happiness and simcha because yeah i am going to be judged don't think for one second that something will be forgotten you can't erase from the judgment anything anything that you did there's no way bribing here you will be judged for that but you can either be judged with the worst judge that will put you for jail for 40 years for stealing a gum from a a star or you can get a good judge who says it's okay now don't do it again so we got the best judge avinu volcano our father so we remind him first of all he's my father happens to be that is also my king too so these have to bring you to great level of happiness that hashem is our judge yeah you will be judged but by your father that's why on rosh hashanah what do we focus on that hashem is the king constantly we saying it's all around that hashem is the king hashem hashem this is around rosh hashanah constantly is about hashem is the king why because there's nobody else but and since bahu is the master of the universe there's nobody above him and on top of that he's our father i just need to lucha my father will judge me how bad can it be what is gonna be go worse on the on the decree no hashem is gonna judge us in a nice way now of course it's depending on your chihuahua you have to do you're not going to get it for free you do chewbacca the right way you'll feel hashem's mercy that's why we recite all the time the 13 attributes of mercy to empower it so to emphasize hashem judges with mercy as we said the entire prayer on rosh hashanah get up from the seat of judgment and sit in the seat and sit down in the seat of mercy so that is for us to understand two things a on the negative side don't think that something would be erased from your uh from your report you will be judged for everything and according to what you did but on the other hand the good side of it that our father is our judge and he's full of mercy he's not an evil judge he's not a mean judge he's a judge full of mercy therefore we have to kind of press the button of avilu malcano you are our father yeah yeah you are king but you are our father therefore the judgment comes with mercy and bizarre hashem if we do the right to uh and we accept how bad we were and we're willing to give it out give it over and let it go and i accept that i will never do it again then hashem says okay i will flip from judgment to mercy and by that i will forgive all your sins that in itself should put me in a great state of simcha of happiness and joy that i have the in that whoever judges me if i do it right then my father judges me and of course the judgment is not going to be as severe as chasm it could be with any other evil judge [Music] you
