9/1/2026 - Avrumi Mandelbaum / Why L'Dovid?
A
0:02Avrumi MandelbaumGUEST
I wanted to talk a bit about what we've been doing leading up to Rosh Hashanah, and that is that we've been saying L'David, Shachris and Menchah, or Shachris and Meirev.
A
0:10Avrumi MandelbaumGUEST
But I don't say L'David because Babiv says 18 Kapitul Echtelim, but most people have been saying either by Shachris and Menchah or by Shachris and Meirev.
A
0:19Avrumi MandelbaumGUEST
And the problem is that seemingly there is a Kapitul that's much more appropriate for this time, and that's Kapitul Nun Aleph, where Nassim Hanavi confronts David about Basheva, and the entire Kapital is just David screaming out to Hashem, pleading for forgiveness, and so you would think that that Kapital is more worthy to be what we say every day, twice a day, instead of L'David.

And so the answer is that depending on who you're asking forgiveness from, you ask it in a different way.

So if somebody wronged a friend, or if they wronged their boss, or if they wronged the mayor or king or something like that, obviously you would expect different levels of asking for forgiveness.
