#514: Amida: Hashiva Shofteinu (Part 7)

generous respons by the Saka family by for on the 11th we've been making our way through the explanation of all of the different words last spoke about the notion we askem to remove from us and we offered several interpretations understandings the sorrow the grown the actual hardship we're going through and the anxiousness or anxiety that comes with the hardship we're going through to remove the suffering pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice so even though it is inevitable to go through challenges and pain in life we ask when we have when we're able to put things in perspective in a context we're able to see everything as coming from Hashem then it can eliminate the even though there are things that are painful but there doesn't have to be suffering and then we continue in the we askem to rule over us alone singularly with of course we'll have to Define what is the difference between the two it's not simply a redundancy or synonym we ask him to rule over us with there must be a difference between the two and we ask him to help USU judge us favorably so what does have to do with we're asking for the restoration of Justice we want Justice served in the world Jews Israel should not be held to a double standard should not be judged so unfavorably and unfairly we ask for justice judgment our own judgment our own judgment should be clear other people's Judgment of us should be clear judgment is a religious experience we want thean restored to to the what does that have to do with didn't we already cover that with we accepted we surrender we submitted to the Divine will earlier in sh and other parts of the what have to do with have to do with M and the answer is everything it has everything to do with it it has everything to do with it because when there when the world is aware of and acknowledges and submit to the kingdom his Dominion his Providence then they'll practice Justice in this world when people compete with when they think that they're in charge they're in control their system their rules of Justice will make sense to them then there's corruption and there's moral Decay and there's Injustice that happens in this world so we understand that for mishpat to be redeemed for mishpat to be restored there has to be so we ask Let There Be fairness and Justice and righteousness of the Jewish people of Israel and for that to happen we need your malus to be expressed to be manifest we need people to be able to see your guiding hand we need people to understand that it's not man-made it's not something a humanistic version what people into it or what they rationalize but we have to recognize and Mish go together in hand in his he writes why do we use the word how else Willem be you alone as opposed to with his assistant with his team with his committee what do we you alone we say these words every day what do we mean what what's our intent what do we being inspired by writes in the he says that all of us every day are influenced by many variables by many factors people are influenced by money by Power by Fame by influencers we're influenced by so many factors and variables in the world and our decision our judgment gets clouded can be cloudy because we're not only thinking about what'll give a to the what does hasem want from us we're thinking about what will earn Me Greater famor favor what will earn Me Greater Fame what will earn me a greater Fortune what will earn Me Greater honor we have all kinds of formulas and all kinds of conceptions and all kinds of variables that come into play so it says what we're doing for is not from H's perspective Hashem has no other way to rule over over us other than but it means from our perspective with each judgment that we need to show on any given day let us set aside everything else the question is how does all how do all the other variables combine that what Hashem wants from us what does Hashem want what will give Hashem what will make him happy what does hasem want from us writ theah do what is just and what is right what does that mean rights Torah can't possibly legislate every scenario that could come up on any given day there are all kinds of dilemas and conundrums we have all kinds of scenarios that the Torah can't legislate specific or detailed what to do so we have an overarching we have an overriding umbrella Mitzvah when you have to make a decision when you have a dilemma when you're not sure what to do stop and say what does Hashem want from me what will give what will make happy what does want with all the other variables and all the other considerations and all the other factors what does Hashem want from me ultimately when it comes down to it what should drive the Judgment which should Jud drive all the Judgment that we express should be simply what does Hashem want what will give him that is the ultimate Justice that we can practice is to advance his will and his want in this world
