Hashem’s Name: Why Every Blessing Needs Kavanah | Rabbi Rakhmin Dodobayev

In the 16th century, there was a big rabbi and was very humble. His name was Rav Moshe Galante. And he had a Arab Sheikh, which was a mullah amongst the Arabs and he knew everything. One of the stories that he could this mullah could do a Sheikh if somebody was sick would come over to him and he would say this guy would live or he would pass away. And they came over to Rav Moshe Galante and they said, "Rabbi, he knows a person who is alive and who is passed away. How come you don't know that much?" And he goes to this Sheikh mullah and he tries to be friendly with him and he speaks with him. When he speaks with him, he tries to be friendly and eventually they find good words with each other and they become very close friends. And they talk about math, biology, chemistry, astrology, astronomy, and so on. And each day takes a days for each other to come to become closer. And one day Rav Moshe Galante asked this Sheikh, he says, "Can you tell me, please? You have this power that you able to say who will live while he's sick and who will pass away." He says, "This I cannot tell you." And he pleads him. He said, "Okay, in one condition. We have to come to my house and you have to take a mikvah bath and I'm going to show you, but you don't have to you can't tell to nobody." So, he goes in. He doesn't eat 3 days before. He goes to his house. They immerse in a mikvah. And he wears a white clothes. And he goes inside the room. And he goes inside the room. He says, "Now you got to bow down your head." So, it's Hashem Shalom Rav Moshe Galante that this should not be some kind of a idol worshipping our desire. And he says, "Now look up and bow down." When he says when he says that, and he comes out and he sees that what he saw was Shem HaShem. Yud Kay Vav Kay. These days we say a lot of God's name. Yud Gimmel Middot, we say a lot of brachaot. When a person says God's name with the kavana, all his wishes going to become true. May HaShem accept our prayers when we mention God's name. Ketima Vehatima Tova.
