Mizrah

But the idea here of ...

So Zerah, Zerach, and Mizrach, so Mizrach is east, is all related to rising and east, right? Zerah, Zerach, and Mizrach.

That's one group of words.

The word Zerah, Zara, and Mizrah, they're all related to seed land and the place of sowing, okay? So I just, I just did that on a search on my, um, you know, uh, I've got a Bible program.

And then you should shake them in the four directions in the following order.

Mizrach, darom, marov, zafon.

So you, there are different minhagim about the order of the directions, but this is the way that the kids are saying to do it.

And then ma'alamata, and then go up and down.

And at each word, we go in a particular direction.

But when it comes to Hashem, we don't move it at all.

When you say the word Hodu to the Mizrach.

When you say Tov to the Ma'arav.

You consider it as a new status.

Just change the walls, change the structure, change how it's, uh, you know, maybe it's not facing Mizrach, right? So maybe you could change where the Aron is.

So whatever the case may be, Rav Moshe says, so that is a way to get out of it, even though he also, me'ikar did said, "Ein daiti nochim izet, d'pashut shemo'us zel ha'mitzvah." He thinks it's disgusting for a mitzvah.

He says, if it's already made, you're allowed to daven there, but to buy it lecharchiva, you wouldn't do, unless you change it, and therefore you would say, "Panim chadashos." That is a way that maybe in some of these places where they were made into shuls, relying on Rav Moshe, that would be, that would be okay.

The Rebbe wasn't there yet.

So the space for the skin was in the front, on Mizrach?

No, the right side.

I'd say Durham.

Whoever was sitting, listen to this, Ari.

Whoever was sitting in the Mizrach, you know, there's the big chashuvman, the Mizrach vant.

There's the hotshots who are sitting in front of the thing.

Whoever was sitting there left their spot.

Like they felt like not worthy to sit in the Mizrach in front of this chazen.

People are looking at him.

He's on fire.

The Mizrach vant emptied out except for the Yeshua's Yaakov.

They call Kedem.

We don't call it Mizrach because sometimes the sun rose in the ocean side.

Yeah.

So all depends on how the Earth is turning.

Pray to Israel.

And you know that, right? That you don't always pray to Mizrah because you might not be in the Marav.

You might be somewhere else and then you have to pray to the south.

It depends where you are in the world.

They're even sitting at the front of the Beis Medrash.

They're in Mizrach.

And then you're sitting in the back and no one even knows you.

And then you get to Olam Haba and you're on the top and they're on the bottom.

So he mentioned to me.

Rabbi Moses mentioned that his father-in-law, who today is 90 years old, was twice to be in Miron for Rosh Hashanah, and his father made sure to try to get him a seat in the Mizrah, close to where the chazen is, to have his son hear the final mincha of the year, led by Rabbi Avram Sternherz.

Those who heard of him... know that his tefillah was something extraordinary, extraordinary, that at that age, in his 80s, 90s, when he was a chazen, his voice would sound like a child, like a small child.

And he was able to cry and continue to cry while davening, meaning usually a person starts crying, it interrupts the tefillah.
