#524: Amida: V'Lamalshinim (Part 6)

s snipp is generous spons generously sponsored by the Saka family and as well by foran we are on the last left off with the authorship the author of the second after the the was in yav had to identify and recruit someone who would author this new bra he chose hak because was distinguished Mish tells us that he lived by what is a mish yet is associated with him he was able to emotionally detach himself from the situation so even with the downfall of an enemy he didn't over he didn't feel a sense of Joy because he for him it was a matter of business it was a matter of policy it wasn't personal and if there was anyone who was going to be qualified to author a braa which you understand how high the stakes are at its core speak about in a moment is also about our enemies from without but primarily Cal it's about our enemies from within is authored about fellow Jews who could be entrusted with no bias who could be entrusted with no ulterior motive who could be entrusted with a pure intent to author a braa with the hope for the downfall and demise of a fellow Jew even if that fellow Jew were dangerous and threatening it was only someone whose motto in life he lived by someone who was able to make it business not something which is personal theis tells us points to the that once they were sitting and a Bas came in and said among you was someone who's worthy of divine inspiration but the generation's not worthy even though the individual is so distinguished and worthy but the generation is unworthy all eyes turn to who could the Basco be talking about who is so worthy who is so pure who is so high who is so great none other than Sho he was the one worthy of rues the generation wasn't worthy so when it came time to find somebody who would author withes it was none other than hak hakatan certainly was a godle he was as we spoke about the age of majority but he remained a coton in terms of the Purity and we see from here some of the and the S point out that in this we say every day three times a day is a little bit of a mus to ourselves is and it's also a of because it took a before we take on anyone else before we are hypercritical or before we seek to marginalize or cancel or call someone a Min person has to have that level of purity of intent with no ulterior motive and no bias like a that means to say no matter how great a g no matter how great someone sees thems you have to be a Kon in order to be able to take a position like writing of you have to be a c you have to have that sense of Purity that sense of Innocence that sense ofma of being purely for the right intent so what is the kavana who are we talking about by the way maybe that's why also this is the only the that begins with V we'll come back to it in a moment and we were all taught as children you don't start a sentence with the word and and welcome back the only that begins with the letter V we'll give another reason in a moment but it occurs to me maybe the one bra that was authored 500 years after an the one bra that was so brazenly written and inserted as an addendum later is V it's a continuation of the an we weren't trying to innovate we weren't trying to radically change anything Pioneer something new the is a continuation the other they say the is because what's the that precedes the Sanhedrin the return of the sanedrin so therefore they go together they're hand inand the restoration of the Sanhedrin then it will be the end of tormentors of the of claw Isel when we have a sanin then we can d so different explanations of what the V is about but who are we thinking about say the and we're wishing we're doing for pretty harsh things they should have no hope and all their wickedness should immediately be eliminated decimated and all the enemies of our people should be swiftly cut off and uproot and crush and Route out and subdue all of the all the all those these are pretty harsh things that we want who are we thinking about what's our intent so certainly the simple explanation is the the original reason motivation for the authorship of this braa which are the Heretics so we'll see next week I guess that means Heretics of our time we live in a community that has 180,000 Jews 92% of whom might Hally technically qualify as not living lives that would be they might be in is that we're doing for them terrible things to happen to them does it mean today's today's non-observant Jew today's atheist agnostic Jew is that who we're thinking about that was the original intent were Heretics with Sim K were the Bim were those who were were seeking to undermine and corrupt our M and the M community and we doed that they be thwarted and stopped is that who we're thinking about so tonight with he writes the following quote we're daving we're daving what would the Jewish world look like we're seeing it a little bit I just got back this morning from Israel again people putting on and putting on situs unbelievable I was talking to a Jew a holy Jew a junction our friend D he's got an earring and his titas flying out I said when did you start wearing titas and he was telling me that when he drives on chabas to give the food to soldiers he doesn't wear his titas because he's driving on sh I said what is one thing have until you keep chabas means you should neglect the Mitzvah where the ti is then then too but there's this Awakening so that's what we're ding for says for a spiritual awakening that all Jews will believe in and observe and surrender we should live in a generation that is that we defer to the G is that we trust their leadership their judgment their direction that we surrender our Das to their Das you know you should be thinking about you should be thinking about hisbah you should even be thinking about Jews who describe themselves as sh is but do exactly the don't DAV about him but DAV that Jews should have their heads screwed on straight to be a true sh Isel and to stand up for the Jewish people the destruction of coming you can fulfill the mitah of when each day that you save you die for the destruction of and we D that any bad things any hard things any suffering that is destined to befall the Jewish people should instead happen to Hamas and hasb and Iran and the enemies of Israel if you're looking for the place in to be having extra kavana to thwart the intent of our enemies is that place and with it the Mitzvah of Z
