With Hashem's help, I not long ago came upon a commentary on Tehilim prepared by Rav Chaim Kanievsky z’l. To know Tehilim, it is vital to understand the background and historic context from the chapter that David Hamelech is writing about. What precisely was occurring in his in everyday life when he wrote it? At times he tells us what exactly’s taking place while in the heading, irrespective of whether he’s operating away, becoming chased, etcetera. But from time to time he would not. And sometimes, it looks as if he is telling us what's going on, but we really Really don't get it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, together with his huge expertise in Torah, finds a Midrash that assists us comprehend one particular these chapter. Chapter 30 is called Mizmor Shir, Hanukat HaBayit L’David/a song for your dedication of the House, referring on the Wager Hamikdash, by David. There are 2 issues with this. Number one is that David Hamelech was not at the Hanukat HaBayit- he died in advance of that. As we’ve discussed previously, Rashi clarifies that he wrote it for being reported for the Hanukat Habayit. The second trouble is that there is no discussion in the Hanukat HaBayit In this particular Mizmor. It says, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ ה׳ כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי God lifted me up… שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי I called out to You therefore you healed me. You elevate me from the depths, and so on. Exactly what does that have to accomplish with the Hanukat Habayit? Even more in the perek, it claims, הֲיוֹדְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ Will Grime praise You and say over Your truth of the matter? לְמַ֤עַן ׀ יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ To ensure my soul will sing to you personally eternally.. So, once again, what's going on? Rav Chaim cites a Midrash that David Hamelech was sick for thirteen decades, as he suggests in a distinct perek, יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכׇל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה Each individual night time I'm crying in my mattress . So he endured for 13 several years, and during this time his enemies hoping he’d die. David Hamelech was naturally praying to get out of this example. What bought him out of it? He ultimately came up with the next prayer, “ Remember to help save me to ensure that I am going to provide the strength to prepare the Bet Hamikdash,” and t hat's when he got out of his bed and wrote what’s called the Megilat Binyan Wager Hamikdash/ the architectural strategies with the Bet a HaMikdash, and God listened to his prayer.

the bridge, we could wander throughout it with out apprehension or hesitation. Similarly, the difference between emunah
In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), delivers more insights on the range 15 and its relationship to shalom : · It is the number of phrases in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates within a blessing of shalom . · On top of that, he explains, a hand has fourteen joints, a few on each of the four fingers and two within the thumb. For your hand to signify shalom, it desires yet another part. Thus, Chazal instructed us that whenever we create a berachah on a cup of wine, we must always keep the cup in the palm from the hand; On this posture, it can be called the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm results in being the hand’s fifteenth part, Therefore symbolizing shalom . · He connects this idea to your Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah Students maximize peace.” This is due to the rabbis have elevated the events for utilizing a kos shel berachah. These consist of Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, plus the evening of Pesach. These are definitely all instances during which we area the kos in our palm, contacting into support the fifteenth ingredient of our hand, thus symbolizing the Name of Shalom . · Through the 6 weekdays, we wash for bread 2 times each day, twelve instances in all. On Shabbos, we have 3 meals, which provides the 7 days’s overall to fifteen. Shabbos is on a daily basis of peace because of the fifteenth food, Seudas Shelishis, which delivers shalom . In addition, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is among the most opportune time to pray for Arba Minim, the 4 Species we bless through Succos. As we uncovered within our discussion on Succos, the 4 species symbolize unity Among the many four kinds of Jewish individuals. Why do we pray about these four species on Tu b’Shevat? The rabbis reveal that if we look at the trees on Tu B’Shvat, we see that they're bare. Tu b’Shevat marks the working day on which, according to the Gemara , the sap starts operating within the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we are able to get started earning Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we say upon seeing the tree’s buds start to blossom. The seasons development until at last, we get there at Succos, when we harvest the fruit. As a result, the development towards Succos commences on Tu b’Shevat, whenever we pray for the necessary shalom on the Shivtei Kah, which at last expresses by itself on the festival of Succos While using the Arba Minim. Shevat will be the thirty day period, and Tu b’Shevat the day, uniquely primed for our attempts to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.

We'll devote some time talking about the mizmor of Ashrei that we are saying three times on a daily basis. Significantly is claimed about Ashrei. In actual fact, who claims it thrice per day is confirmed Olam Haba. The Mishna in Masechet Berachot (fifth chapter) describes how the Hasidim HaRishonim /pious Adult males of old would acquire an hour or so before they prayed, as a way to have good kavana . The Gemara in Berachot 32B suggests the resource for this is, Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/lucky are the ones that sit in Your own home. But how? The place will we see, from your words “ Privileged are the ones that sit in Your property,” that one bitachon particular is designed to contemplate just before prayer? One of several explanations is the fact “ Fortuitous are the ones that sit in Your own home, ”means that it's not necessary to say anything at all. Just sitting down in the house accomplishes a thing. Which is important, and it’s brought down in most of the poskim and commentators. The significance of waiting before you decide to pray is brought down l’halacha during the Rambam. It states that anyone ought to devote some time just before he prays, to distinct his intellect of every one of the muddle to be able to be able to deal with The truth that he is standing before God in prayer. Our minds are so active and so preoccupied that we have to consider out that point. Rav Wolbe, in his sefer Alei Shor (vol 2, pg 359), says that the Hasidim HaRishonim waited an hour or so. We need to wait anything . Exactly what does ‘ a thing’ necessarily mean? He says that 5 minutes could possibly be a lot of, so try one moment about the clock. Sit for one moment, in the spot, and say very little. Just realize that you're going to stand before Hashem and filter out the litter within your head. He claims that we're consistently rushed, in our modern day existence. We are generally going at that fast tempo, and we must slow down prior to we pray. So he indicates sitting for a single moment. And that's our Ashrei Yoshveh Betecha. This fortune comes by sitting , waiting and making ready, whether or not in shul or in the home, prior to deciding to pray. This idea did not initial exhibit up With all the Hasidim HaRishonim. In accordance with the Seforno’s understanding, it’s truly a command from God Himself. In Bereshit 35,one, Hashem tells Yaakov Avinu, וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹ֔ב ק֛וּם עֲלֵ֥ה בֵֽית־אֵ֖ל “ Go and get up and drop by Guess El and dwell there .
That's emunah—the obvious knowing that Hashem operates the world, from major to minimal, from global to community, across all platforms and situations. Hashem is there managing every single final result.
