Nishmat

The name of the simen is Really what we're actually moving on to kind of like a new section, which is the laws of tefillah on Shabbos day.

And if you recall in Nishmas, There's a passage in Nishmas where we say, to you alone do we offer our praise, and says the Mechaber, this is the entire simen, is you're not supposed to bow down when you recite that.

Important rule in Halacha is we only bow during the designated places during governing, And this is not one of them.

So that's the entire simen, at least as far as the Machaber is concerned.

And that is the minog, komakom lefin minhago, every place to follow their tradition.

V'chol daverim lo'omro yimachzironosah, an important halacha.

If you left out any of the Shabbos davening that's in Pesuk Eidei Zimra or in Berchot's Kirishma, including Kel Adon, if you forget Nishmas, for whatever reason you forgot it, ein machzironosah, we don't, you're not, you don't have to go back Now this sounds not what it sounds like.

Except for the paragraph right after Kel Adon, there the Ramos says, we do make you go back.

And our friend Yossi is here tonight as well, Yossi is sponsoring tonight's shiur.

Leiloi Nishmas, his mother, Sir Miriam Bas, Chaim Ben-Yamin, Alei HaShalom, whose first Yahrzeit is coming up in just a few days, and Rish Hashem, Sunday, and Rish Hashem will have an Aliyah, and she should be a Guta Beita for you and for the entire family, and Rish Hashem, as you continue bringing her Nachas Ruach from all the wonderful things that you do, Yossi is busy all day doing mitzvahs, running from place to place, doing chesed and helping out others.

You should always be on the giving end of things.

In which there's a shift in the narrative of the Torah going from discussing the order of the entire world to focusing exclusively on unique individuals and unique groups.

But tonight, it's an unusual event that we're here for the sole purpose of just giving thanks to Hashem for that wonderful and tremendous Yeshua that happened, the tremendous openness that happened just a few short weeks ago.

And really, it was a beautiful event.

They said, Nishmas, everybody together, and Rabbi Rebbe Leif spoke, Rabbi Pesach Kron spoke.

Rabbi Rebbe Leif said that when we look at this event, it reminds us how much the Rebbeinu Shalalim loves us, his children, Klal Yisrael.

Right? It's like saying halal every day.

Now, on Shabbat and Yom Tov, which is right after number 10, if you have more time, You would say, Nishmat Kol Chai.

Right? Nishmat Shabbat.

Then, Sha'ar Pesuket Zimna Lefiy HaSeder.

Okay? And there is also Pesuket Zimna Kodmim LeNishmat Tadir Ve'No Tadir Tadir Kodem.

Then, you would say, LaMatzach HaShamayim Mesaperim LeDavi Tefilah LeMoshe.

Then, Sha'ar HaMizmamim Shir HaMa'alot Na'akidan Korbanot.

That's more important than the Shir HaMa'alot.

It's a beautiful Pasuk.

We say it in the Nishmat Kol Chai of the way God runs the world, that he favors the needy.

Now, it's not obvious.

My

So the major, the major point of this, of this Mizmor, of Mizmor eighteen, is going to be that, that it's a song of, of... it's more of a happy song.

It was his version of Nishmat.

Maybe.

His or David's [laughs] melaveh malkah Nishmat.

[laughs]

Right? It's a happy song of thanksgiving, and it's not as, it's not as dark as some of the other Mizmorim that we saw, that he says, "I-- please Hashem, answer my tefillot, for I am in a place of darkness.

The same thing with Hashem.

We wanna feel that when we sing Yishtabach, we sing Nishmas, you know, we're this, we're farbrengen, we're singing VeYiso, right? We're-- We want that we know that HaKadosh Baruch Hu is having nachas ruach from what we're doing at that moment too.

That's also a form of Kabbalas HaTefilah, and we don't always feel that way.

We don't always feel that HaKadosh Baruch Hu appreciates our avodah.

That, that thank you is לשון שבח והלל, not לשון הכנו.

So says the Taz in Hallel and Birkat Hamazon, you know, he brings another example of Nishmas, when you're saying, uh, uh, Hoda'ah to HaKadosh Baruch Hu, is a לשון שבח והלל.

You don't bow down, you're just משהבח HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

But when we talk about Shemoneh Esrei, Shemoneh Esrei is לשון הכנו.

What in the world does this have to do with Hilchas Tfilah? Well, where does Modah come up in Hilchas Tfilah? Modim.

So in the discussion of the Tfilah of Modim, the Taz quotes Rabbeinu Yonah that any time in Tfilah and in Brach HaSei you say a Lashon HaVoda'ah, like in Nishmas, so it's included in what the Gemara tells us that someone who bows is considered inappropriate we are only we only bow during now why should it be different why is in every other it's inappropriate to bow and all of a sudden it's appropriate to bow so he says because the has two translations.

It could be that you're praising, and the second could be that it's a lot of humbling yourself.

Whenever it says someone to somebody else in the Gemara, it's always meaning i'm myself and i agree to your shita even though i disagree with you about something else i agree over here i'll be myself to you over here but when the gemara says it doesn't mean meaning no one's being loaded when the guard sometimes often says everyone is mode everyone's mode that no one disagrees if everyone's mother so who's being machinia to who so that's not being machinia and mode it means that everyone is everyone holds up this din as something that's worthy of praise and worthy of being proud of.
