#518: Amida: Hashiva Shofteinu (Part 11 of 11)

respons the Saka family as well by and for we are finishing up the 11th part of the development of G our longing of G our pivot from our individual needs to our Collective yearnings is the Hope For Justice to be restored to this world for Israel the Jewish people not to be held to dual standard for there not to be a sense of Injustice but our hope and oura that we earn and worthy of the kind of leaders of the that we had who will be they will eliminate and remove from us the travails the pain the suffering of the gas of this of this Exile we find ourselves in and we long the opposite you alone should rule over us mentioned last time is in this world the fact that Hashem sustains us ra is in the next World it was pointed out that's m in the beginning of the we say you sustain the living with and so is the living and is in the next World or you're bringing the next World back into this world so what does that mean you bring into M and indeed that is the way that we conclude the knowledging you are o you love you love those who are committed to and Mish so to really understand the conclusion of this bra the last words and the and the actual bra itself we have to know what is the difference what isaka and what is mish so the truth is it's very unusual Hashem is unique in this way all other people B ofam human beings can't rule with why not if you try to set up a societ soety that is too much mercy and compassion and kindness too much understanding and flexibility and leeway so Society will crumble it will implode there has to be a system of mercy of Justice rather there has to be accountability there has to bece only that's why he is he alone can be can rule over us without Society disintegrating without people swallowing one another up be able to live and to be able to sustain even though there is and what's the difference between SED and Mish Mish is the easier one what's Mish Justice there's a law and there's a consequence we have a rule and we have what happens when you violate it we have Mish Mish is Judgment m is Justice Mish is fairness what's fair what's correct what's the rule what's on the books what's the decision and what's the accountability what's Saka we translate sedc Saka as justice but it's not what is it righteousness what's the difference between righteousness and justice justice is whatever it says on the books what's the consequence what's the accountability what's the rule what's stuck on the other hand what's righteousness it is a broader bigger sense of fairness not what is fair in the particular zoomed in rule but what is the bigger context what is the backstory what's really happening here and what will serve the ultimate purpose what will do the ultimate good what is the bigger picture seded TI the instruction and mandate to judges and justices to pursue sedc is not throw the book at them it's not here and hold everyone accountable with a strict sense of justice jce what is seded righteousness here listen of course there has to be Law and Order of course there has to be we fund police who maintain that Law and Order judges who hold people accountable but do so not with the punitive sense of just offering a punishment but to rehabilitate and to grow and to be able to see the bigger picture of what is happening to be able to see and to be able to appreciate in a more favorable perspective that's what in the name of the quotes that's what it means loves is good signature is truth of course he stands for cares about and honors those who protect the truth he wants Mish but he loves those who arrive at the Mish with a sense of they see the bigger picture they have a broader perspective they're trying to accomplish a bigger goal they're able to judge favorably to bring into the Mish loves that what do you mean he loves that he loves doing that he loves seeing that in us when we live our lives and we don't judge someone on the surface based on what we see but we want to hear their story we want to understand the background we want to have the bigger context and the bigger perspective to whatever just happened they walked by us in the supermarket they didn't say hello they walked by us in they didn't say chabas do you know that they have four kids at home with the flu and RSV and Corona and they running into the supermarket to pick up the medicine so the Misha would be you walk by me you didn't say hello I'm not saying hello to you ever again we're done we're not talking I've written you off Mish you walked by you didn't say hello I don't say hello to you the ster in the Mish is huh you know that's not like them that's not the person I know I wonder if there's something more going on I wonder if there's a bigger picture I wonder if there's a backdrop a background the context if there's more to the story can I judge favorably can I applied staka to this Mish and when Hashem sees us do that he's o Mish when he sees us in that way then he judges us favorably as well he reciprocates that Mida that quality that attitude when we bring it he reciprocates it what's our challenge in living that way what do we lack we're lacking the judges and the advisers we're lacking the motivators and the sources of inspiration who can guide us to live that way to judge favorably before the G we don't have those kinds of Judges we're orphaned from those kinds of leaders so we ask even though we struggle to judge favorably judge us favorably and when you do this is the how will it be redeemed we have to hold accountable we have to have Justice we have to have rules we have to have law we have to have order but shave how will we bring those who are held hostage home bit when we can overcome our instinct to think the worst to assume the worst to always see ourselves as a victim and instead to see the best and to favorably will be able to end to bring hostages home again in that you see the combination that's what we're ding for the when we demonstrate and exhibit that behavior judging favorably seeing the bigger context will do that for us and he'll Advance us that next step in the G
