Queens Jewish Link
Connecting the Queens Jewish Community We begin with a clarification from last week’s original segment, delving into the three crucially...
We begin with a brief summary (from Yaaleh V’Yavo 5), from the beginning of Yaaleh V’Yavo until the point with which we ended in our last segment of Yaaleh V’Yavo:
We began Yaaleh V’Yavo with asking that our tefilos rise above the barriers and be accepted.
We begin this segment of Yaaleh V’Yavo with the conclusion of the last segment from which we will naturally flow into the next part of Yaaleh V’Yavo.
Mizmor Shir Chanukas HaBayis l’David
A psalm – a song for the inauguration of the Temple – by David
In the last segment, we discussed how in the four words of v’yipakeid v’yizacheir zichroneinu u’fikdoneinu we are, in effect, asking Hashem to help us achieve our purpose in life to our fullest potential. We ask that Hashem judge us and make any necessary adjustments to our tafkid (role) that are needed.
V’al nisecha…v’al nifl’osecha
…and for Your miracles … and for Your wonders…
In the last segment, we learned that, in Yaaleh V’Yavo, we ask Hashem to elevate our tefilos, to “remember” us, our Avos, Mashiach, Yerushalayim, and the Jewish People, and to take action (the meaning of “remember”) to establish the Beis HaMikdash in Tzion and bring us all back to Yerushalayim. In the second half of Yaaleh V’Yavo, we ask Hashem for all we need in order to serve Him.
