#561: Amida: Es Tzemach Dovid (Part 1)

S spp Series sponsored by the Saka family sponsored as well by foran tonight's snippet is also dedicated in memory of my beloved grandfather site is tonight and tomorrow we're up to the 15th of the we mentioned in the last we seem to have covered this theme already because in the we concluded is incomplete even when it will be rebuilt even when it's edif are outstanding it's really not about the buildings the brick and mortar it's not about how busy Metropolis J becomes it's about malus based of it it's about the of the city being restored but then we go on even though we've already mentioned it we dedicate an entire new bra now the truth is originally the was made up of 17as and were combined were one and that singular one ended the two went together the two went together of course we studied the the 19th or 18th depending how you see it was added and then and inav were split not from one into two why were they split and why dka in bille salich suggested that maybe the Jews who lived in Exile the Jews who lived in the diaspora among other nations da needed a br to reinforce within themselves but maybe even more among our host nation we're longing for Mia why because he's not yet come when we lived among a particular host nation who were under the false impression of their false Messiah that he's already come these two bras were split and it got its own conclusion its own because we need to reinforce this notion that he is not yet come he's not yet here we desperately long for him with all of our being each BR we've covered so far the first 14 we shared the historical precedent these were able to tap into Universal needs in all times and in all places they authored Words which would be meaningful and resonate no matter where no matter when they unite us with all who came before and all who will come after words of the amid are incredible when you think about what daving does to to unify the Jewish people when we say this amid we're saying the same words our great great great great grandparents said and the words our great great great great grandchildren will say and no matter where they'll live in what language they'll speak as their first language the amida is the is the universal language of authored such words that would always resonate and always have this meaning so one of the tells us the historical prent based on where these bras how did they know how did they know these 18 how did they know these 19 particularly the midle bras the bras of Basha what are the Basha what are the the requests what are the needs what are the supplications will apply to all of us always so they modeled it they patterned after what came before and we've seen the historical precedent for each that we've learned together so far so this 15th says also has historical background it's a background of course we're all familiar with when CL left MIT when the Jewish people were liberated from Egypt they thought they were finally free but they' not yet fulfilled all the stages of gah and all of a sudden the Egyptians power had regret and he Unleashed he sent his chariots and his army to pursue the people we found ourselves between the proverbial Rock and Hard Place the MIT were pursuing in the back the yamu the sea was before us and of course in that moment it seemed helpless and hopeless Hashem said start walking stop what you're doing start walking so much to say about it we did back in aashir in any case the sea split CLA crossed and when they turned back they saw that not only did they survive but the sea closed in exactly on their oppressor on their Tormentor and they were finally liberated they had closure as long as their Tormentor and oppressor their persecutors were alive they were never truly free but when they were able to turn around and see the sea had closed in on the mitm they sang A Yash and here's the sh when they sang the the angel simultaneously sang out in that moment that we sang A yasher acknowledging the miracle that happened the sea split when it felt like the walls were caving inm had a plan just in that moment simultaneously the declared yesu and that is the background the precedent for this what's funny about the language Yeshua sounds like even though the incident was done it was concluded the miracle had occurred they were saved they were redeemed nevertheless the B is couched and what the malim Sayang sounds like not only reflective of something in the past not only something retrospective but prospectively Hashem will continue to make Redemption flourish Hashem is the one who continues to develop a sense of gula and a sense of redemption why were the commenting in something in the future if it was supposed to be a song and gratitude of something in the past could ask the same of itself in the future not we did sing not we are singing we will sing so it's expressing gratitude of something that happened why is it stated in the future so I sawner brings down the following suggestion also say until then nobody sang Shir which is perplexing because we have prior examples in tanak of individuals who Miracles happened and they did say thank you to Hashem so what does it mean no one's saying sh until then so He suggests it's a particular type of Shira there's gratitude that says this particular incident happened this specific occurrence happened thank you Hashem there was a miracle I survived I walked away it's wonderful but but there is a much more profound reflection which doesn't focus in narrowly on the incident but then zooms out the lens and says Hashem there are ups and downs in life but I'm here for a mission and the world is going to unfold the world will be revealed until we are at your vision for it and whatever my ups and downs whatever this incident the same way that you redeemed me right now and the here and now you will continue to guide this Mission till it comes to fruition until until these ups and downs until the mission is complete when mhia comes and that Shir the Shir that sees it not as a focus specific incident but sees it in the context of something so much bigger that we here for a mission to redeem hashem's world to repair hashem's world to represent his truth and to be able to bring us to Messiah that sheir that sees it not as an incident but in a bigger context and a sense of mission that had never been done until now and that's why AOS Moshe and cl's reflection was that not only did right now a miracle happen but we're going to have OB Downs it's going to be an adventurous ride it's going to be a roller coaster of CLA Isel but each time we are getting closer towards the goal towards repairing and redeeming this world till the mission is complete until mashia comes and that's what the Mal we're noting as well Kar Yeshua that there's ups and downs there Redemption we're in a dark place right now a very difficult time for claw Isel and if you didn't have that Amun that if you couldn't say this if we didn't have this Insight you could become hopeless you could give up we're so alone we're so hated so challenging this war is so dragging on the hostages for so long have been in our enemies hands but we know how the story ends we know the destination we know the goal we know where we're going and therefore yeshu he's going to keep escorting us keep navigating keep taking us and therefore even in the ups and downs and even the twists and turns we know he's going to bring us and that's why it's described in the future not only in the present
