No Matter What
DEAR FRIENDS, NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT FORGET TO UTILIZE THE HOLY DAY OF PURIM TO DAVEN, DAVEN, DAVEN. DAVEN FOR YOUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, SPOUSES, CO-WORKERS, FOR ALL OF KLAL YISROEL. DAVEN FOR MASHIACH'S ARRIVAL TO FINALLY END THIS DARK AND BITTER GALUS. DAVEN FOR HASHEM TO REVEAL HIS GLORY UPON HIS CHILDREN, KLAL YISROEL, AND THE END OF ALL PAIN AND HARDSHIP IN THE WORLD. DAVEN FOR THE MILLIONS OF ASSIMILATED JEWS WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SAY "SHMA YISROEL" DAVEN FOR THE COUNTLESS JEWISH SOULS WHO LACK DIRECTION AND ARE FALLING INTO THE WORLD OF THE YETZER HARA FASTER THAN WE CAN BRING THEM BACK. DAVEN FOR HASHEM TO REDEEM US DESPITE OUR MANY SINS. DAVEN. JUST DAVEN. CRY REAL TEARS. DANCE HARD. SING. SMILE AT PEOPLE. LEARN SOME TORAH. BUT, ALL THE WHILE...DAVEN! THANK HASHEM FOR ALL THE GOOD HE GIVES US AND BEG HIM TO ALLOW THE REBUILDING OF THE BAIS HAMIKDASH TO HAPPEN REALLY SOON. DAVEN FOR ALL THE CHOLIM IN KLAL YISROEL. DAVEN FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE PARNASSAH. DAVEN FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT SEEING YIDDISH NACHAS FROM THEIR CHILDREN. DAVEN FOR OTHERS. GIVE BRACHOS TO EVERYONE YOU MEET ON PURIM. SHOW HASHEM THAT WE FEEL EACH OTHERS PAIN. WISH SUCCESS UPON ONE ANOTHER. MAKE UP WITH THOSE WE MAY BE IN A FIGHT WITH. GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO SAY A KIND WORD TO AN "EX FRIEND" LET'S SWALLOW OUR PRIDE AND DO IT ANYWAY. DAVEN HARD. DAVEN FOR MENUCHAS HANEFESH. DAVEN WITH KAVANNAH. BEG HASHEM TO ACCEPT OUR TEFILOS. DAVEN FOR STRENGTH...KOCHOS. BESEECH HASHEM TO ACCEPT THE TEFILOS OF ALL JEWS, NO MATTER IF THEY LOOK LIKE YOU OR NOT. DAVEN FOR HASHEM TO ACCEPT OUR TESHUVAH AS IF IT WAS AS SINCERE AT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MAY HASHEM ANSWER ALL OUR TEFILOS AND ALLOW THE FINAL REDEMPTION TO RID THE GLOBE OF ALL THE HAMANS OF THE WORLD. MAY HASHEM USHER IN THE DAY WHEN THE YETZER HARA IS SLAUGHTERED FOREVER AND WE CAN ALL BE REUNITED IN YERUSHALAYIM HABENUYA. AMEN. A FREILICHEN PURIM TO ALL MY DEAR READERS, HOLY BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. L'CHAIM! TO A LIFE OF CLOSENESS TO HAKADOSH BARUCH HU! BEN OLAM HABA |
Purim is the time to achieve all of that through happiness. Simcha poretz geder. Places where your tears cannot reach, joy can. Thats purim.
ReplyDeleteActually, I discussed this with my Rav, Yes, connection through ahavah is the highest level. But first you have to get to the level of yirah (tears..etc) and only once you transcend that can you get to the ahava and the simcha. This is not easy, and requires years and years of avoda, but you are right if someone is on that level..kol hakavod to them.
ReplyDeleteNot to argue with your rav, however, the whole concept of purim is leaving your boundries. Ad dilo yuada. Even if your avoda is a certain way the whole year round, purim is different.Every yom tov has its own special avoda Purim is the time of avoda through simcha. A simcha so powerful that it breaks smashes through all boundries. (Shivim panim latorah, so both approaches can be correct)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful and touching tefillah.
