Subject: AVRAHAM'S SHIELD / YOUR SHIELD / DEFINING CHINUCH

FOLLOW LINK TO WEBSITE:

AVRAHAM'S SHIELD / YOUR SHIELD / DEFINING CHINUCH 

AVRAHAM'S SHIELD / YOUR SHIELD

The first blessing in the Amidah is called Avot. Every word is a gem; concentration here is a must, three times a day, each day of your life. G-d of Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaakov. The G-d Who is great, mighty and awesome, supreme G-d, Who bestows beneficent kindness and creates everything, Who remembers the kindness of our fathers, and brings a redeemer to their children's children for his Name's sake, with love. King, Helper, Savior, and Shield. Blessed are You G-d , Shield of Abraham.

Two questions always bother me here. Why is everything in present tenseקונה הכל ... עוזר ומושיע ומגן –  מביא גואל creates everything , helper, savior and shield… G-d brings a redeemer instead of  ויביא                  גואל....will bring a redeemer? Creates instead of created? And why the shield of Abraham? Why not "shield of Yitzhak" or Yaakov? The Talmud (Pesachim 117b)  says והיה ברכה" – בך חותמים ואין חותמין בכולן" – G-d blessed Avraham that the first blessing of the Amidah will be sealed מגן אברהם , Shield of Avraham . But what did Avraham do that was so special that he deserved being mentioned at the close of the first blessing of the Shemoneh Esrei more than Yitzhak and Yaakov?

 When I found the answer, it changed the experience of prayer and shed a new light on religion. Allow me to share the answer with you.

This is it. A fundamental tenet of Jewish belief is that G-d knows the tests going on in your life right now. He is there, ready and wanting to save you, aid you and guide you. G-d is bringing a redeemer right now in your life, for your life's problems. He is helping right now, he is saving right now. We say "Blessed are You" all day, not "Blessed is He", because we are talking directly to Him, all day. This is what Judaism is about. Faith in G-d that He is there with us, now, in our present life's battles, helping us reach our goals. What would happen to your life if you would live with that mindset? What a different day! What a different life! What a different Jew. The funny thing is that you can choose to live your life this way, constantly seeing and feeling G-d's guidance in every step you take. You just have to know the right meaning in your prayers, three times a day. You just have to pray with the awareness that He is, indeed, a constant, guiding companion. Judaism is so beautiful.

Who, of all the Forefathers, had to fight the most to achieve awareness, in order to have this type of life? Avraham. Of all the Forefathers, Avraham was the only one whose life was all about proving to the world that G-d exists, forever pervading the present, and also both eternal and immortal.   Even before birth, Avraham was marked for death because of his belief in the One G-d. ( Nimrod, the most powerful king in the world at that time, was warned by his astrologers that a baby was being born, one who would challenge and refute the pagan beliefs governing the kingdom.. In frenzied fear, Nimrod killed about 70,000 baby boys. Avraham's mother, Amtelah Bat Karnevoh, whose husband, Terach, was Nimrod's top general, was feeling birth pangs, so she went into a cave. She gave birth to Avraham there, and the light on Avraham's face illumined the cave.  She looked at her baby, Avraham, and said to him, אוי לי שילדתיך בזמן הזה , Woe is to me that I have given birth to you at such a time, when Nimrod killed 70,000 baby boys because of you . I fear that Nimrod will find you and kill you. It is better that I leave you here and you die in this cave, than that I take you out into the world, and you will be slaughtered by Nimrod. Baby Avraham, alone in the cave, had no one to nurse him, and he cried.  And Hashem heard his voice, there in the cave, and G-d sent him the Angel Gavriel to sustain him. Avraham's right finger miraculously started to exude  milk, and he sucked it. This continued until Avraham was ten days old. He then began to walk the land…)    G-d shielded Avraham in the fire of Ur Kasdim, when he left his father's house, when Sarah was taken in Egypt, during the famine, at the war against the kings, when Sarah was taken by Avimelech, at Akeidat Yitzchak… G-d will shield us, as well, if we believe in Him with complete faith.

This is how we turn to G-d in the present tense, praying with faith that He can provide salvation for us, meeting our every need.  He is, right now, saving your life, bringing about your ישועה , your salvation. Just believe. Three times a day. He knows your struggles, your battles. And right now, He is working things out for you, without your even knowing how. With one condition. As long as you are real about this belief thing. Not like Haran.   

Avraham's brother, Haran, was not sure if Avraham was right about his belief in G-d. As Avraham was thrown into the fire in Ur Kasdim, Nimrod asked Haran if he agreed with his brother's anti-pagan beliefs. Haran was not sure if he should follow his brother Avraham into the fire for the sake of Judaism. He looked into the fire and saw that G-d came into the fire to save Avraham. After witnessing Avraham's success in his  debate with Nimrod – crowned by his brother's miraculous salvation from the fire – he decided to answer in the affirmative, and was promptly tossed into the fire. But G-d did not make a miracle for Haran.(Midrash Tehillim 108) Why not?

The answer is one that can shake every Jew to the core. G-d was willing to make a miracle for Avraham,  alone, and not for Haran, because the kind of belief that brings miracles is an unwavering, unconditional belief - not one that is pulled out of the pocket as a document to assure passage through tough situations. Avraham had unshakable belief in G-d and was willing to die for it. Haran was not willing to die for the belief, but relied on his hope that the miracle performed for his brother would be performed for him, also. It was not a belief that he arrived at on his own. It was the same kind of belief that many "believers" have, a passive kind of just following the flock, without giving the subject much thought. Judaism is about realizing – through the Book of Torah and the Book of Nature – that there is a Creator Who wants us to serve Him and perform His Mitzvot. Judaism is about being an Ivri – one from the "other side." The whole world may disagree with us and stand on the other side of the ideological "river"; yet, the authentic Jew, like our great Patriarch Avraham, will stand alone with his belief, through fire and water, even if it looks as if no one else is supporting his side of the debate. Haran was not willing to be that "lonely man" of faith, not willing to stand up for his belief. Therefore, G-d was not willing to stand up for him.

So, we start the Amidah with Avot, connecting to their beliefs, connecting to their lives. Avraham Avinu's way of believing is the way we believe, and  the way we believe makes such a difference. It can be a matter of salvation or frustration. Life or death. When taking three steps back before Amidah, ask "Do I believe that G-d is listening right now, ready to help me? If I would only ask him with my whole heart! He is willing to grant my request, He just wants me to believe that he is there. Do I really believe?"

We enjoyed your excellent essay on Tehilim 47 which we say to prepare for the great Mitzva of listening to the Shofar & rejoicing with Hashems Malchus !
Why are the sons of Korach the ones who merited to teach this great message ?

Because it is almost time to listen to the Shofar & we may be overwhelmed. I should have done Teshuva at the start of Elul , or at the beginning of Selichos or erev Rosh hashana. Now there are only about 3 minutes left to the Shofar call- Remember the sons of Korach who almost got swallowed up with the others who followed Korach. But they grabbed the last few moments & repented. They were saved in the nick of time.
The perfect model for last minute return to Hashem by calling out to praise Him wholeheartedly & joining with the great sons of Korach !

A Smart Guy

 

     I was on my way to the Kotel yesterday afternoon when this yeshiva student stopped me. He said, “Some time ago you saw me smoking on the street and you gave me a sheet of paper with some reasons why it was not good. I pinned the note on my wall, and I kept on smoking. From time to time I would look at it, but I kept on smoking. Then, a couple of months ago, I quit. I haven’t smoked in over two months!”

 

    “Wow! You made my day. You are a smart guy,” I told him.

 

    He answered, “Yes, I know!”

 

    Here is the list that I gave him. Maybe you know someone who smokes and is smart enough to pin them up on his wall?

 

Here is what happens when you quit smoking

In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.

In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.

In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.

In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.

In 3 to 9 months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.

In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.

 

    And if you want to add a few of my thoughts about quitting:

 

    You will immediately stop stinking up the place, and harming other people with your toxic, secondhand smoke.

    You will immediately stop being a sucker paying the tobacco company your hard to come by money to addict yourself to their poison.

    You will immediately begin to regain your self-respect.
