Yehoshua GranatGUEST
Okay.
Yehoshua GranatGUEST
So basically, Yotzot is a very general term for piyutim said, uh, before and after Kriyat Shema, uh, of Shacharit, okay? So we have also Piyut Geulah and Piyut Ahavah.
Yehoshua GranatGUEST
Ahavah is for, for, uh, the second benediction, uh, uh, uh, before Kriyat Shema, yes, Ahavah Raba and so forth, HaBochar Bo Moetzot Ba'ava, and Geulah is for Ga'al Yisrael, and so forth.
Yehoshua GranatGUEST
By the way, uh, the parallel to Yoitzres is also the Maarvot.
Aryeh GanzHOST
And that's why we open the Dalas and the Perekhas.
Aryeh GanzHOST
So, Kinnera, the beer is... that to add on piyutim, you need a bezden chashev.
Aryeh GanzHOST
And the Sefer Terah, it's a chalice of a bezden, and it's adding it on, and it's making a bezden chashev.
Aryeh GanzHOST
And the Sefer Terah is normally in the Aran, that's why you have to take it out.
Mendy ChitrikHOST
I actually feel good about it because, you know, the Arizal, whose father was Ashkenazi and mother Sephardi, used to dive in the whole year in the Sephardi shul.
Mendy ChitrikHOST
Besides on Rosh Hashanah in Kippur, where he did not want to miss on the beautiful piyutim and the beautiful liturgy that is said in the Ashkenazi custom.
Mendy ChitrikHOST
And on Rosh Hashanah in Kippur, he had his very own Ashkenazi minyan, which he attended to.
Mendy ChitrikHOST
I sometimes feel that way as well.
Eliezer ZalmanovHOST
I was going to say, first of all, you're channeling your inner Arizal.
Eliezer ZalmanovHOST
That's very nice.
Eliezer ZalmanovHOST
But I'm curious to the fact that the Ashkenazi piyutim in his eyes were more liturgical and beautiful than the Sephardi ones.
Mendy ChitrikHOST
Well, the Sephardim don't really say piyutim in the middle of the avenue.
Moshe WalterGUEST
And that is one group called the Paitanim and a second group called the Mikubalim.
Moshe WalterGUEST
And really what defines and differentiates the Machzer from the Sitter is Piyutim.
Moshe WalterGUEST
The Paitanim were a group of tremendous scholars, Gaonim, Rishonim.
Moshe WalterGUEST
It's debated when exactly and who exactly the Paitanim were.
8 MINS LATER
Moshe WalterGUEST
There's the Mat Alevi, there's the Beis Alevi, and there's the Maisa Oreg.
Moshe WalterGUEST
Each of those three commentaries written by the author has specific focuses.
Moshe WalterGUEST
The Mat Alevi is the author's commentary on the Piyutim, the Beis Alevi is the commentary on the grammatical explanations, and then the Maisa Oreg, as its name indicates, is a collection of of a number of other Peirushim.
Moshe WalterGUEST
So there you see in the Machzor of the Korban Aram a very, very heavy focus on the Machzor and many other Machzorim took from there.
Hershel SchachterHOST
So the Gemara explains why.
Hershel SchachterHOST
And we say in the Piyutim HaRosh Hashanah why.
Hershel SchachterHOST
Because they didn't find a mockum in Tanakh for a tefillah with ten units.
Hershel SchachterHOST
They found in tefillahs Chana.
Albert SettonGUEST
Today we're going to see the piyut that was written as an introduction to the Yudkim al-Midut Rahamim, the piyut An-She'im Na'avadu.
Albert SettonGUEST
There are actually three piyutim.
Albert SettonGUEST
that seem to be written together as a unit, and the first two of them introduce the Vayavod, and the third one comes after the recitation of the Vayavod.
Albert SettonGUEST
We have, which goes in an Aleph-Be format, and we have, which goes in a Taf, Shin, Resh, Kuf format, a backwards Aleph, Bet.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
Rebbe Elazer Reb Shimon, so one of the later Tanoim, And indeed, and we're not going to go into all of the proves and counter-proves and so on, but it is noteworthy that the Medrash, twice, in Vayikra Rabbah and in Shir Hashirim Rabbah, both record that when Rabbi Elazer Reb Shimon, who famously was in the cave together with his father, the Tan Reb Elazer Reb Shimon, when he passed away, they lamented the passing of the Paitan, So says the Medrash.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
They said the Paitan, the author of Piyutim, has passed away, and this is cited by the Tosuas and the Rosh, and for other reasons as well, they identify Rabbi Lozar al-Kalir as Rabbi Lozar al-Rabshimon the Tanner.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
At the same time, another of the Rishonim, the Rashba, the great Rabbi Shlomo ben Adderet of Spain, in the late 1200s, he also identifies Rebbe Lozar Qalir as a Tana, but not as Rebbe Lozar of Reb Shimon, rather Rebbe Lozar ben Arach, who we are familiar with from Pirkei Avos, who was actually earlier by many years to Rebbe Lozar of Reb Shimon.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
Rebbe Lozar ben Arach was a student of Rebbe Yochanan ben Zakai.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
The Ne'er-de-Behuda, in his commentary, Tz'lach T'maseches Baruch Estaf Lamedaled, he is prepared to accept that Rebbe Loza Kalir was a little later.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
Perhaps he was among the Amaroyim.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
The main idea is which everyone seems to be in concurrence with, is that when the Piyutim of Rebilozar Qalir were written, they still were Mekadesh the Chodesh with Edim.
Immanuel BernsteinHOST
It wasn't yet the Luach which was set.
Don CantorHOST
Even just regular davening, uh, but and, and, like, there's a bris.
Don CantorHOST
I had, um, there's a student that, uh, that I had at, at Hopkins who, um, last year had a, had a baby boy- And he printed this bencher that's, that's like this thick 'cause it, and it goes with all different Piyutim, all the, all the poetry that is, has been composed surrounding a bris.
Don CantorHOST
What you might, what you might say at a bris.
Don CantorHOST
So, [laughs] it's hard to, the benching takes a little while.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
There's also Minag Hungarian, Minag Yankees, Germans, et cetera.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
But the Piyutim came later, and it's very, very clear it's a Dover Pasha.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
that the most important part of Selichas are not the Piyutim, but they are the 13 Midas of Rachamim.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
That is so important, and it's so holy, that the Yud Gimel Midas of Rachamim can be recited only when you have a minyan.
Yitzchak BreitowitzHOST
So if you're davening b'yachidas, you can still say the Selichas, and you can say the confession, the vidoy, at the end of the Selichas, but you cannot say the Yud Gimel Midas of Rachamim unless you read them with a trap, so you're reading verses in the Torah, but as a prayer, it's a that can only be recited when there's a minyan itself.
Aryeh GanzHOST
In Yemen, I think there were different usheis, if you have chazer sashat on Rosh Hashanah or not, I think especially by Musaf and Shabbos and Mincha, since they had a very long davening, Shabbos and Yemen, they used to tag them also, so they didn't want people to talk and whatever, so they used to make it very quick and short.
Aryeh GanzHOST
And I got this thing of, you know, a lot of the Piyutim in Yom Teruah, when I exactly showed them up, some of the Sefer Yashon, some say that it was composed by none other than Yeshua ben Nun.
Aryeh GanzHOST
Now I'll just read you the lesson of the B'tchacha.
Aryeh GanzHOST
It says like this.
