#618: Amida: Modim (Part 14)

Jour respons by the Saka family and by on the 18 the of mod we last left off the words l v look in the sitter and see where they punctuate where they put the period and the Comm is Lor Vador coming to pred it's Lor Vador is introducing Lor Vador no or is the end namely that two different ways of understanding but I saw in this beautiful fromell the in the middle of modm or the beginning of modm we invoke the image of intergenerational Lor Vador because we are asking and thanking AEM hoping longing in some cases and already grateful for in others and we didn't say it explicitly there's not a reference that's explicit to children to grandchildren to intergenerational to the gratitude for continuity so that we don't reference it expressely and whether it's anara or elicit in the heavens the opposing forces but they embedded it in a way which is nuanced which is an illusion so intergenerational would be grateful for you meaning I'm grateful please God my children will have lives that they can be grateful for my grandchildren can be grateful for that quotes from the aside from where to punctuate where to put the K or the period is a reference pause in that moment so transform your modm three times a day when saying modm pause sorry and think about intergenerationally Hope and D along for children children who are a source of Nas and pride who are healthy and well that intergenerationally no we are and we can be and we can be grateful now it's interesting the expression that mod continues with we reference two things what's the difference between so no is gratitude it's also an admission we'll come back to that in a moment we mentioned that Insight from AER un the root of the word means is a number and it's to count which not coincidentally is the same root as seur which means a story to tell the story you know you can be grateful you can Mumble under your breath it's possible some people have some kids when you remind them say thank you thank you they Mumble thank you you know they grunt to thank you they get out of the way just to beign to put a check if they want the next candy they got to say thank you for that candy so they Mumble they grunt thank youapp means nobody's grunting let me tell you the story listen to what happened you're not going to believe it Hashem is amazing Hashem is amazing listen to what he did for me I'm alive isn't Hashem amazing what a beautiful day it was outside both my legs work I'm healthy I was able to come to sh when you stop here I want to tell the story over and over you can measure the Gratitude someone has are they being yot are they simply fulfilling at the lowest level a check mark next to I said thank you I mumbled thank you versus un is the next level I want to tell you the story when is let me tell you I want to count the same root story and to count is because when you tell a story you're counting you're making something count you're seeing the the uh add up you're counting you're increasing you're adding we don't just know it's not a theoretical nor is it simply a checklist item that I said Thank You sapper I want to tell the story I want to elaborate I want to publicize I want to tell the world the is a famous Insight on why the carbon to which is a form of a carbon schl why is it a shorter amount of time than one is ordinarily given instead of two days and one night it's one day and one night why is the carbon TOA the carbon of gratitude has to be consumed fully in a shorter time period than a Corban schl is normally allotted and the NV says it's a brilliant inside of the NV when you have the same amount or a lot of meat to consume in a little bit amount of time and it has to be finished what the does one need to do in order to accomplish it you got to invite others this is the source of the idea of a sud something wonderful happened the person recovered from an illness something came through Wednesday night we'll make a sud we'll complete and be grateful a campaign we'll know how we're finishing expanding our campus something wonderful happens in your life you make a sud so if a person has to finish a certain amount of meat in less time they're normal they have to invite others and then says why because if gratitude is something that you keep inside into yourself you're not really grateful if you really grateful you scream it from the rooftops if you're really grateful you tell everyone you know if you're really grateful you invite other people to join someone might say what do I have to make a it'll bring inara it'll bring attention I don't like attention why do I have to make a sud for something special that happened the answer is how grateful are you if you're not telling everybody the measure or the demonstration of really being grateful is that you're screaming it from the roof tops so the Corb to today are the are the contemporary modern day application of the and we preserve the same intent that you have to invite others you have to include others it's not just no I keep it inside I mumble to myself I write it in my journal I don't tell anyone between me and Hashem I'm grateful no no no if you're really grateful you're telling it to the whole world you're screaming it from the rooftops and you're not just no you're you want to elaborate and tell the story of the incredible thing that happened that is the essence of O the essence of mod we'll pick up with we go from and then we say why do we go from to Al will pick up with tomorrow night
