#640: V'al Kulam/V'Chol Ha'Chaim (Part 1)

S is responsible family and by we are concluding the of the way our sitter is organized we often don't see it or think of it this way we think modm ends at the end of the paragraph of but the of really concludes with the and is the ofm is the introductory paragraph but the actual the the of the that is the of so we're not quite done with even though we did the paragraph and is not a new is really the conclusion of so what is it that we're saying and all these things so what does mean your name our king so your name Our king should be should be blessed and praised, extolled. So what does it mean to give a braha to Hashem? I know what it means to get a bra. Give a bra between ourselves. Have gaz have good health find a beautiful everyone should be safe secure. We give brahas to each other is the target the subject of our bra and on or for all these things. Hashem may your name our king be blessed and be extolled. What does that mean? What does that mean? Explains the word that we say every time we make a I'm sure we explained this early on in sitter snippets towards the beginning. First time we encountered the word. It means that we say blessed are you Hashem? We're not giving Hashem a what do you give someone who has everything who's the source of everything. There is no you could give Hashem. So what does it mean when we say to Hashem says the what we're saying is Hashem you are the mccorus. You are the source of all in this world. So we turn to you blessed. The word braha blessing is the same root as the word braa which means a spring a flow the flow of all good things in this world they come from you. So whatever we admire, whatever we cherish, whatever we treasure, whatever we see as a blessing, what is the source from where does it flow? It all comes from you. The the it all comes from you. So means not blessed are you. We can't give Hashem a what it means is you are the source of all. Perhaps the greatest or only we can give Hashem is to acknowledge him as the source of when we surrender or submit acknowledge that Hashem is the source of all that is the we can give him. So perhaps that's what it means here too. What's all these things? Which things? What things? What does mean? Come on. You say this every day three times a day. Kam for all these things which things the things we just said in in Modm. So in modem you give us life and you sustain our life and you prolong our life and the miracles big and small that are with us every day in every moment morning afternoon evening for all these things for all of these all these kindnesses and all the generosity you show us we d that what let the whole world recognize that all blessing comes from you that you are the source of all and the result will be the when we live life recognizing and acknowledging that you're the source of all blessing then you are exalted not you Hashem because we can't know Hashem we can't know Hashem's essence we're finite he's infinite he's omnipotent we can only know the way he revealed what he described about himself namely his sacred Torah we can't know him which is why we always come back to his name his name means his brand what he chooses to allow the way he chooses to allow us to know him is his name so That's the limit of what we can know. So, Hashem, thanks. Help us, Hashem, you're so good. You're so kind. You're so gracious. You're so generous. And as a result, we want to scream from the rooftops our gratitude and our thanks to you in such a way, we're telling everyone that all blessing in the world comes from you. And the consequence, the result of our screaming and shouting from the rooftops that all brah comes from you, the result will be We're going to elevate your brand, your name. We're going to exalt your name, our king. More people will be curious if we indeed live our lives drawing attention, positive attention to Hashem. If we live our lives telling everybody, can you believe? Do you see this world? Can you imagine? Isn't he incredible? Isn't it unbelievable? Do you see how extraordinary Hashem is? So, we exalt his name of our king. People see that and they'll want to get close to him. So the word doesn't mean we're giving a note. You did all these for me. So I want to give you I bent you. What kind of you gonna give? It's not that because you do these nice things for me. I'm going to give you a bra. No, it's when I shout from the rooftops and tell the world how grateful I am for the goodness you do that you are that you are the source of then your name will be exalted and elevated always where we have to pick up tomorrow night. What's today? Wednesday. Tomorrow night is tid means always. The means always forever. What's the difference between always and forever? It's repetitive or redundant.
