In the last three lessons, We've spoken about concentrating all through prayer. We brought quoted a Mishna in Berachot, chapter five, that discusses the pious men of aged who spent one hour right before they prayed, thinking about, in order to obvious their head in the clutter. There are several phrases in that Mishna, before it talks concerning the pious Adult men of aged. It claims, אֵין עוֹמְדִין לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ כֹּבֶד רֹאשׁ It's important to start off praying that has a Koved Rosh/seriousness . But Rashi translates Koved Rosh as humility . Why is humility so critical for prayer? In Alei Shor (vol 1 webpage 113), concerning ways to empty your brain within the clutter before you decide to pray, Rav Wolbe asks how you can just all of a sudden stop everything business you were being involved with simply a minute in the past, you were being totally engrossed in? How can we just forget about all that? He suggests the only way to get it done is to realize that all of that business enterprise desires prayer for success. Only by means of praying will We now have the proper outlook to the company that we do. We should notice it is not my energy and my electric power that makes it occur. When You begin to pray, abruptly you start contemplating, “ I've To do that. I have to do that ,” regardless of whether in your small business, or your busy working day…the cake You need to bake, the youngsters You will need to pick up from university... How come all These points pop into your intellect when You begin to pray? Why can it be so tough to concentrate? Why do these thoughts arrive at mind? He states, it’s a sign that we don't really feel that we need prayer for our success. And therefore, he states, the greatest interference to our praying with kavana is not our ADHD, or our fast-paced daily life. Certainly, that is part of it, but the main trouble is our arrogance . What activates People ideas that flood our brain? What's the little device which is creating all These thoughts? It’s our arrogance. Driving all those feelings is the elemental belief that I'm answerable for my daily life And that i make the factors transpire. If I do not give thought to them, and I don't deal with them, they are not destined to be taken care of. We must recognize the elemental oversight in that arrogant outlook.

(ב) וַיֹּ֡אמֶר קַח־נָ֠א אֶת־בִּנְךָ֨ אֶת־יְחִֽידְךָ֤ אֲשֶׁר־אָהַ֙בְתָּ֙ אֶת־יִצְחָ֔ק וְלֶ֨ךְ־לְךָ֔ אֶל־אֶ֖רֶץ הַמֹּרִיָּ֑ה וְהַעֲלֵ֤הוּ שָׁם֙ לְעֹלָ֔ה עַ֚ל אַחַ֣ד הֶֽהָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֹמַ֥ר אֵלֶֽיךָ׃ (ג) וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֨ם אַבְרָהָ֜ם בַּבֹּ֗קֶר וַֽיַּחֲבֹשׁ֙ אֶת־חֲמֹר֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֞ח אֶת־שְׁנֵ֤י נְעָרָיו֙ אִתּ֔וֹ וְאֵ֖ת יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֑וֹ וַיְבַקַּע֙ עֲצֵ֣י עֹלָ֔ה וַיָּ֣קׇם וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ אֶל־הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־אָֽמַר־ל֥וֹ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ (ד) בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֗י וַיִּשָּׂ֨א אַבְרָהָ֧ם אֶת־עֵינָ֛יו וַיַּ֥רְא אֶת־הַמָּק֖וֹם מֵרָחֹֽק׃ (ה) וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶל־נְעָרָ֗יו שְׁבוּ־לָכֶ֥ם פֹּה֙ עִֽם־הַחֲמ֔וֹר וַאֲנִ֣י וְהַנַּ֔עַר נֵלְכָ֖ה עַד־כֹּ֑ה וְנִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֖ה וְנָשׁ֥וּבָה אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
In the long run, they drowned in the sea. - Those who are now being burnt refers to Hanania, Mishael and Azaria. Nevuchadnezzar produced a really huge furnace plus they have been thrown inside of. If the executioners noticed which they had been continue to strolling about within, they leaned about to determine what was taking place, the fire jumped out plus they were burnt. Similarly, in the event the lions did not try to eat Daniel, they mentioned, “ Oh, maybe they're not hungry. ” In order that they threw the executioners in, and also the lions, showing which they actually had been hungry, and ate the executioners. This is often what Ma Norah Ma’asecha/How amazing are God's actions usually means. Plus the perek continues, in pasuk ה and says, לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲל֣וֹת אֱלֹהִ֑ים נוֹרָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ Go and find out the is effective of God, Norah/brilliant are His brings about. Again, the phrase Norah/amazing is applied. As we've stated over and over, both of these terms, Norah Alilah will be the resource for the Ibn Ezra’s piyut , which Sephardic communities say in Ne’Ilah - “ El Norah Alilah, God Who is awesome in His causes,” meaning that Among the most wondrous items about Hashem’s steps is the fact we don't see them happening in a very direct vogue. Hashem would make things take place in an indirect way, which happens to be Norah Alilah. The pesukim go on describing how through the entire Galut , Hashem applied this system of His Norah . David Hamelech is telling us this, suggests the Seforno, so that we, that are at present during the exile, need to realize how Hashem will work. There will appear a time when whatsoever our enemies are accomplishing or have done to us will get better. We may not see it promptly, like once the sword hit Moshe Rabbenu’s neck and bounced back again, but comparable to Mitzrayim, where it took a few years right until those who drowned the Jewish infants ended up drowned on their own, sooner or later we will all say, מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ How awesome are Your deeds? נורא עלילה על בני אדם Needless to say, we see how God would make items come about in roundabout approaches, and sooner or later whichever His decree is comes to be. Have a beautiful working day.
