I'll tell you an inspiring thought one
of the main prayers that we say during
the uh High holiday season specifically
during the days
of days of penitence iso we refer to
Hashem as our father and as our King so
why do we refer to both of these titles
now the primary concept is hashem's
kingship we ask
rule over the entire world is the is the
coronation of the king it's Hashem
renewing his interest and being a king
governing over his creation but kings
are also authorities and there's some
degree of rigidity that comes with that
Authority uh to the extent that we're
told that
that a king who forgo his
honor uh his honor still stands he's not
allowed to forgo his honor in other
words it's the honor of the position so
um really by All rights being that
Hashem is a king if somebody
transgresses the Edict of the king
meaning we don't do what we were told
clearly in uh in sh to do the king
really can't help you it's uh I'm very
sorry
butus I mean treason is a high offense
so high crime and it's true but the good
news is that Hashem is a Malo he's not
just a king he's our father the king and
of that a father and a mother for that
matter who forgo the honor due to them
even though even though it's one of the
Ten Commandments yes
we know
that is a Mitzvah it's not just a
Mitzvah it's from The Ten Commandments
we know that yes yes and yes and
nevertheless a father and a mother have
a power that a king doesn't have which
is they can forgo the honor due to them
now they don't forgo the honor due to
them because they're timid or because
they're trying to win their child's
approval or their people Pleasers it's
not coming from weakness they forgo
honor do to them when that is the right
thing for their ability to help their
child a parent job is to help your child
to grow to move from level to level and
there are times when setting aside our
honor is advantageous for our ability to
do our job as parents and to help our
children grow so Hashem has that power
Hashem definitely is a humble humble
King he's a fatherly King Hashem sets
aside his honor and he allows us the
ability to come back home Time After
Time After Time and if we can emulate
even a fraction of his compassion and
his forgiveness I think there will be a
lot more peace in everybody's homes hey
