#588: Amida: Shema Koleinu (Part 17 of 17)

respons by the Saka family sponsored as well by for we are finishing tonight the ofu the cat Universal the in which we are not only invited but encouraged to add whatever is on our agenda of that day that's not specific nothing too big nothing too small as told us and the ends after we acknowledge that when we collaborate combine and complement one another Hashem is more predisposed to answer favorably to our we on our own are imperfect we on our own our file doesn't necessarily lend itself to Hashem wanting to answer positively but when we connect with others then he's more likely and we complete so first of all this like all the other bras almost all the other bras of theid is in Lov in the present tense because we have to realize that Hashem did not just answer Theos the prayers of those who came before us one can learn and be under the mistaken impression that answering ouros is part of the past he answered he answered MOS he answered he answered the stories of tanak but we we are living in a time of of Hester pem is hidden hasem has withdrawn his countenance and maybe who knows if he hears if he's listening if he's answering we conclude this in the present tense to reinforce and remind ourselves that it wasn't only true then it's true now Hashem listens to us and he doesn't let us leave empty-handed even if he doesn't answer positively the specific request but the connection the intimate connection we have just because we've been able to confide to ask to surrender to him that in itself is a positive answer and even if that Fila is not specifically given a positive result but Banks all of our prayers and that bank account the Fuller of gats we never know when CL and need to make a withdrawal so first of all present tense because it's not only something that's part of the past has continues to answer to listen to us regularly but why we asked last night why does the conclude instead of Hashem you hear our prayers there are many of us on synagogue it's countless now every morning L 89 and 10 beverages slushies pastries hasem many many many are here so why don't we conclude shos why so there are several answers given to this sa Y is quoted by many who gives the following answer the answer is based on a says the says we don't find that every individual and every tor and every minion and every Community is ding doing simultaneously people pray on their own at their time at their Pace but the Angels so to say collect all of those prayers and even though art filos individually are imperfect when you combine them when you connect them when they overlap with one another they form the perfect prayer the perfect prayer can almost have an image if I were talented enough I would make a an image for you it go viral that each person is uttering their prayer and it floats in the air on its own but as all those filos of the Jewish people dispersed and spread out across the globe utter their they all connect and they all combine and when they appear before the when they appear before the almighty they are a whole shal complete perfect prayer in fact the med describes them as a crown a Torah it's a crown forem and that K is given this crown that represents the perfect prayer so our prayer on its own if we were to describe separate distinct prayers again they would be imperfect they would have failures in them but when we connect and collaborate and combine our prayers together then we can present Hashem with the perfect prayer so maybe this amida I concentrated for this third of the amida you concentrated a different third maybe I got this BR you got a different BR maybe I was thinking of others you were thinking of yourself or vice versa there are there are flaws in the but when we combine all of them present the perfect that's the image so we on our own utter our F but they are not they're not delivered separately and apart they combine and they're presented to Hashem as one another interpretation we end with this quotes based on says if you ever nail it if you ever get a good ding a good prayer a good you have it with kavana all the otheros that you uttered that you weren't paying attention that you were distracted that you were elsewhere that you were mindless They Ride the coils of that that you got right with kavana you take all Theos that you weren't entirely there that you weren't focused that you weren't paying attention if you could get one BR if you could get one it schleps with it it carries with it all the other on says gets a that pierces the heavens that penetrates once it makes that whole it takes with it all Theos even those that were imperfect so therefore we don't say all it takes is get one BR right get one right and even all the times that we didn't get right they ride those coils they attach themselves to Thea we get right and those two those two Ascend on high with it so we have an incredible opportunity three times a day every day the beginning of the day include specific details nothing too small what's on the agenda for today the end of the day thank you Hashem acknowledge or what you hope goes differently tomorrow where you protest you want to come out the way aam in our Pas protests about s we're invited to protest as well pick up
