snipp Ser sponsor by the Saka family and sponsored as well by for and tonight we begin the 17th of the but not only the 17th but we also transition from the first three of sh the first three bras of praise the middle section which is Basha the request supplications and now we pivot to the third section the last three Bros the section known as the section known as the first three Bros are like a servant a slave who organizes the praise before rabo before you ask before you request first you praise you offer acknowledgement have I told you how good you look how handsome you are how beautiful you are thank you for all that you do you're so amazing you're so incredible you're so Charming you're so generous by the way if you don't mind I could use livelihood and Health and Justice and knowledge and all kinds of good things when we introduced the amida like 5 years ago whenever that was when we introduced the amid inits we shared pight is not positioning the other party you're so to say buttering them up because you're getting ask for something sh is not forem it's for us before we turn to him and ask for all that we need we remind ourselves why is he the address why are we spending our time asking him for these things so that the is you know why cuz he's because he's the source of everything that's why the is not about him it's about us after that says so once the evid first begins with reminds himself why the the Raba why his master is the one who can be the solution to his problems then the EV ask for what he needs here's what I need the last section the last section is like an evid who receives what they need and now it's time to exit now it's time to withdraw now it's time to say Good by the who expresses gratitude there's a debt of gratitude and praise Hashem thank you for listening thank you for hearing me thank you hopefully for agreeing to what I ask that is the last section that we pivoted to it's bothered me for a long time I'm happy in s Snippets I'm finally going to try to understand it so thank you for that maybe it's bothered you as well if you look at that last section the first section I understand the because it's filled with SH with praise the middle section characterized as Basha that's very accurate it's all about bakha requests the last section we call gratitude and then we fill it with more bakas pleas hasem give us and return the service to your s Shalom who hasn't been having kav I hope we've all been having kavana in Sim Shalom Give Peace Our Father give us peace bring hostages home let soldiers return to their families let there be an end to Wars bring us peace so how is this where's the in how does startem here ouros please Hashem be pleased with our prayer restore your servant to the holy of holies give us back our coronus accept our feel us lovingly and willingly that's a very that's a very funny way of saying thank you the way I say thank you is please do the following things that's a thank you and then the middle one I get modim and then again Sim shom is thank you so there are a lot of words you could use to describe the end of theas how doesn't seem to be in accurate one of them H doesn't seem to be precise it doesn't seem to be about about gratitude so before we get into the words itself or even the historical precedent walk through what precipitated each but first just generally speaking this notion of the section of H what's going on over here we're not the first to ask this or wonder this right after the G already us the rush they all the they all wonder they all Wonder this they all ask this very questioned they all ask this question so the for example answers he says these are personal needs personal requests personal things I need livelihood I need knowledge I need good health they're individual material needs the last three needs rebuild your B mik and bring back and receive and accept our carbonos let there be peace in the world so Hashem the whole world can see you and know your name so that's not about us our personal need that's something bigger that's something bigger and so therefore therefore we don't include it in Basha we give it its own unit its own section its own title that answer is why it's not part of Basha that doesn't explain how it's it's not part of requests but how is it gratitude how is it so I'll leave you with that question we'll pick up with next week how is the how are and Shalom or Shalom how are they where the in them how are the expressions of gratitude answering that question tells you so much about I'm excited to explore it together
