In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), offers further insights about the range 15 and its relationship to shalom : · It can be the amount of text in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates inside of a blessing of shalom . · On top of that, he describes, a hand has fourteen joints, three on each with the 4 fingers and two around the thumb. For that hand to signify shalom, it needs one more part. Hence, Chazal instructed us that after we come up with a berachah over a cup of wine, we should always keep the cup inside the palm of the hand; in this position, it is actually known as the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm gets to be the hand’s fifteenth component, So symbolizing shalom . · He connects this idea to the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah scholars improve peace.” This is because the rabbis have elevated the instances for using a kos shel berachah. These consist of Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, and the night time of Pesach. These are all times through which we position the kos in our palm, contacting into support the fifteenth element of our hand, So symbolizing the Name of Shalom . · Over the 6 weekdays, we wash for bread two times each day, twelve instances in all. On Shabbos, Now we have 3 foods, which delivers the 7 days’s full to fifteen. Shabbos is every day of peace because of the fifteenth food, Seudas Shelishis, which provides shalom . Also, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is easily the most opportune the perfect time to pray for Arba Minim, the Four Species we bless for the duration of Succos. As we figured out in our dialogue on Succos, the four species symbolize unity among the four kinds of Jewish persons. Why do we pray relating to these 4 species on Tu b’Shevat? The rabbis explain that if we consider the trees on Tu B’Shvat, we see that they're bare. Tu b’Shevat marks the day on which, according to the Gemara , the sap commences running inside the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we can easily start building Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we are saying upon seeing the tree’s buds start to blossom. The seasons development until eventually lastly, we arrive at Succos, once we harvest the fruit. As a result, the development towards Succos begins on Tu b’Shevat, after we pray for the mandatory shalom of the Shivtei Kah, which ultimately expresses itself about the Pageant of Succos With all the Arba Minim. Shevat is the month, and Tu b’Shevat the working day, uniquely primed for our efforts to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.

We carry on with a few good Bitachon ideas with the commentary of Rav Chaim Kanievsky in Tehilim . In chapter 34, pasuk 19, David Hamelech says, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near the damaged hearts. one. He estimates from a Midrash termed Otiot Rebi Akiva (letter eight), that says, “ Whoever's coronary heart is damaged and whose spirit is reduced, the Shechina walks with him all day. It’s just as if a Mizbe’ach is built in this male’s coronary heart and He's bringing Korbanot on it, because the brokenhearted are dearer to God when compared to the angels that He has within the heavens.” And after that he estimates another Midrash, in Vayikra Raba chapter seven, that claims, “ God's utensils are damaged utensils.” Generally, we like to use utensils which are total. But God is different than human beings. He utilizes damaged utensils. Like it says, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is close to the people who are damaged hearted. It claims, “ The sacrifices of God is usually a damaged heart.” The Gemara factors out that it say” sacrifices ,” in plural, simply because a person who incorporates a damaged coronary heart is sort of a going for walks Guess Hamikdash , bringing offerings to God, and so God dwells there. This is exactly why when anyone is in that state, He's closest to God, and closest to currently being answered. קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב People who have humble spirits, He'll conserve. רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ ה׳׃ The problems from the righteous are numerous and Hashem will save them. Rav Chaim Kanievsky describes that specially at the point of Rabbot Ra’ot/ so many issues, when the sword is on his neck, and it won't feel that there's any way to get away from the situation, which is when the wonder takes place. That's much like what transpired at Keriat Yam Suf/the splitting of the sea. When an individual is at The purpose that he will not see a means out, this causes him to get brokenhearted, and he will almost certainly see the yeshua .

Bitachon as being a middah does not have to have that We've got complete have confidence in in an omnipotent God. Like with all middot, There exists a continuum and we Every reach Track down our have souls over the continuum. Some people move through life using an unshakeable belief in God’s goodness and defense. Some others are far more nervous and fret fills their times.

If God wishes to help her from it, the crops expand, thrive and flourish, and no many thanks are due the land for this, only the Creator. If God doesn't desire to assist her from it, the land yields no produce, or it yields make which suffers injury, as well as the land is just not accountable…

” God produces some things to so to convey, legalize or locate loopholes, for His kindness. And so also, when we'd like meals or parnasa. There is a story within the Gemara the place a particular rabbi wanted foods inside of a time of famine. But he was not a individual that deserved the food stuff. So he instructed the benefactor, “ Give me food stuff like Noah gave the raven, and like Noah gave the Pet.” The Doggy plus the raven had been the only animals that didn't follow the rules in the Tevah. They did not individual from their mates as all the other creatures did. But Regardless that they broke The principles, Noah continued to feed them. Which was this male's claim. So after we go through these pesukim about God bitachon maintaining the snakes going, and God preserving the scorpions going, what we've been genuinely stating is, “ Hashem, as little as we go, we're not snakes and we're not scorpions. Give us daily life. Have mercy on us. Choose us up.” And of course, we really need to use this on Other individuals likewise. This isn’t an Ahavat Yisrael class, but it's a crucial rule nonetheless- just how you act to Other folks is how Hashem acts to you. This even applies to the animal kingdom, because the famous Tale of Rabbenu HaKadosh teaches us. He was suffering yissurim , and it claims The rationale was simply because there was a calf likely to be slaughtered and Rabbenu HaKadosh advised the calf, “ Exactly what are you whimpering about? What exactly are you crying about? Go! This is why you have been created! ” His suffering went on until finally he confirmed mercy on some cats which were born within the barn, and held them likely. Then, Hashem experienced mercy on him. Mainly because it claims, V’Rachamav Al Kol Maasav/Have mercy on all creations. Whenever we go through these pesukim of סוֹמֵ֣ךְ ה׳ לְכׇל־הַנֹּפְלִ֑ים God will take treatment of those who fall and טוב ה׳ לכל ורחמיו על כל מעשיו God is nice and it has mercy on all His creation s, think of the snake, consider the scorpion, Assume how God takes treatment of them, And just how God will take care of us, we will look after Other individuals as well. Have an excellent day.

We're going to devote a while speaking about the mizmor of Ashrei that we are saying 3 times daily. Considerably is alleged about Ashrei. In reality, who states it thrice each day is guaranteed Olam Haba. The Mishna in Masechet Berachot (fifth chapter) describes how the Hasidim HaRishonim /pious men of outdated would choose an hour or so before they prayed, so that you can have good kavana . The Gemara in Berachot 32B says the supply for This is often, Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/lucky are the ones that sit in Your own home. But how? Wherever will we see, in the words “ Fortuitous are those that sit in Your own home,” that a single is imagined to ponder in advance of prayer? On the list of explanations is usually that “ Lucky are the ones that sit in Your home, ”means that you won't need to say anything at all. Just sitting in your own home accomplishes a thing. Which is important, and it’s introduced down in all of the poskim and commentators. The value of ready prior to deciding to pray is brought down l’halacha while in the Rambam. It claims that a person have to spend some time in advance of he prays, to very clear his thoughts of every one of the muddle as a way to be able to focus on The truth that he is standing before God in prayer. Our minds are so hectic and so preoccupied that we must take out that point. Rav Wolbe, in his sefer Alei Shor (vol 2, pg 359), suggests the Hasidim HaRishonim waited one hour. We have to wait around a thing . What does ‘ a thing’ imply? He suggests that 5 minutes may be too much, so test one minute on the clock. Sit for 1 moment, in your place, and say nothing at all. Just recognize that you're going to stand in front of Hashem and filter out the clutter of the intellect. He suggests that we've been continually rushed, in our fashionable existence. We're constantly shifting at that fast speed, and we have to decelerate ahead of we pray. So he suggests sitting down for one particular moment. And that is our Ashrei Yoshveh Betecha. This fortune will come by means of sitting down , waiting and making ready, no matter if in shul or at home, prior to deciding to pray. This concept didn't initially demonstrate up with the Hasidim HaRishonim. Based on the Seforno’s being familiar with, it’s essentially a command from God Himself. In Bereshit 35,1, Hashem tells Yaakov Avinu, וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹ֔ב ק֛וּם עֲלֵ֥ה בֵֽית־אֵ֖ל “ Go and get up and head to Guess El and dwell there .
