Right now We are going to share two attractive Hashgacha Pratit tales about bringing back again a person who was about to be missing. In the 1st story, a boy writes a Thanks letter to his parents over the day of his wedding, as is customary for Lots of individuals. “ In case you remember, ” he wrote, “ there was a time when I was in highschool, Once i was not learning quite very well, and I was slipping out. Dad came and gave me a speech, As well as in per week or so, I circled. You assumed that's what induced me to show close to. But allow me to inform you the actual story: I was definitely dropping small. I was hanging around with not the most beneficial of buddies. We experienced basically purchased tickets to go on a trip, and we had been just intending to have some pleasurable. What exactly triggered me to vary my head? Back when I was in sixth grade or seventh grade, we ended up building a siyum with a perek in Gemara named Hamafkid, and all the children ended up speculated to convey something for the siyum.” He reminded his mother and father how on that working day, his mom was earning a cake to get a Sheva Berachot, and considering the fact that she was baking in any case, she made a decision to make a little something pleasant for your siyum. So she manufactured two cakes. A single beautiful, seven layer cake, which was supposed with the Sheva Berachot, and a far more simple cake, which was for your siyum. But when her son opened the fridge that early morning and noticed the beautiful cake, he couldn’t imagine what his mom had made for his siyum, and he took it to highschool. When his mom recognized what took place, she thought of going to the school to switch it. But when she thought about how fired up her son was, she decided to depart it. Her son came house that working day and reported, “ Wow! All the other kids bought licorice and small items, and I bought this unbelievable cake!” And he was so proud of himself. He wrote that the early morning that he was going to go on this trip, he went right into a bakery and he saw a seven layer cake while in the window. And it hit him, how strongly his mother felt about his Finding out And the way Specific it absolutely was. He just could not bring himself to do it, so he instructed his friend he was not happening the vacation with him. And almost everything turned around. What an unbelievable story! Glimpse how Hashem orchestrated that, by way of a blunder, the 7 layer cake ended up visiting the siyum, and then the boy observed a cake like that around the working day of his excursion and circled.

In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), offers further more insights around the range 15 and its relationship to shalom : · It is the quantity of phrases in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates in a very blessing of shalom . · Additionally, he explains, a hand has fourteen joints, 3 on each with the four fingers and two about the thumb. To the hand to represent shalom, it desires yet one more bitachon part. Consequently, Chazal instructed us that when we produce a berachah with a cup of wine, we should always hold the cup inside the palm in the hand; in this situation, it truly is called the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm gets to be the hand’s fifteenth part, Hence symbolizing shalom . · He connects this idea on the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah Students boost peace.” It is because the rabbis have improved the occasions for employing a kos shel berachah. These include things like Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, as well as night time of Pesach. They're all instances by which we spot the kos within our palm, calling into support the fifteenth ingredient of our hand, Therefore symbolizing the Title of Shalom . · Over the 6 weekdays, we clean for bread two times every day, twelve periods in all. On Shabbos, we have three meals, which provides the week’s full to fifteen. Shabbos is every day of peace because of the fifteenth food, Seudas Shelishis, which delivers shalom . In addition, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is the most opportune the perfect time to pray for Arba Minim, the Four Species we bless in the course of Succos. As we realized in our discussion on Succos, the 4 species symbolize unity Among the many 4 sorts of Jewish folks. How come 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 day on which, according to the Gemara , the sap starts managing throughout the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we are able to begin earning Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we say upon seeing the tree’s buds start to blossom. The seasons development until finally at last, we get there at Succos, when we harvest the fruit. Consequently, the development toward Succos commences on Tu b’Shevat, when we pray for the required shalom on the Shivtei Kah, which lastly expresses itself about the Competition of Succos While using the Arba Minim. Shevat would be the thirty day period, and Tu b’Shevat the working day, uniquely primed for our efforts to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.

Over the past three courses, we have spoken about concentrating throughout prayer. We brought quoted a Mishna in Berachot, chapter five, that discusses the pious men of previous who expended an hour or so in advance of they prayed, thinking about, as a way to crystal clear their thoughts in the muddle. Here are a few words in that Mishna, before it talks concerning the pious men of outdated. It claims, אֵין עוֹמְדִין לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ כֹּבֶד רֹאשׁ You have to get started praying that has a Koved Rosh/seriousness . But Rashi interprets Koved Rosh as humility . Why is humility so critical for prayer? In Alei Shor (vol 1 webpage 113), concerning the best way to vacant your intellect in the clutter before you decide to pray, Rav Wolbe asks ways to just quickly cease everything business you had been associated with only a minute back, that you were being fully engrossed in? How do we just forget about everything? He says the only real way to make it happen is always to know that all that small business requirements prayer for achievement. Only by means of praying will We now have the correct outlook to the small business that we do. We must always realize it's not my toughness and my power that makes it take place. When You begin to pray, abruptly You begin thinking, “ I have To do that. I have to do this ,” no matter whether in your company, or your fast paced working day…the cake You should bake, the kids you have to get from faculty... How come all Individuals factors pop into your brain when you start to pray? Why is it so tricky to concentrate? Why do each one of these thoughts come to mind? He says, it’s an indication that we do not genuinely think that we need prayer for our good results. And so, he says, the biggest interference to our praying with kavana is not our ADHD, or our speedy-paced everyday living. Not surprisingly, that is a component of it, but the primary problem is our vanity . What activates These views that flood our intellect? What's the little device that is making all those thoughts? It’s our vanity. Guiding all of those ideas is the basic belief that I'm in charge of my daily life and I make the points transpire. If I do not think of them, and I don't handle them, they don't seem to be going to be taken care of. We have to notice the basic oversight in that arrogant outlook.
