Shalom It's Khaim Raidel. In this week's Parsha and Parsha's Kedahishim, we have the mitzah of Yahftal Reachha Kameh. And there's two questions. Question number one is the pasik says Yahaftal Reacha Kameicha, Ani Hashem. And the question is, what is the connection between the first part of the pasik of Ahaftal Reacha to Aniyashem, to Ayya Mashem, your God? What's the connection? Question number two is there's a famous mythic from the Arizal that the Ariyah Kadish writes, before every Tfili Shri Mkab and yourself, the Mrs. And the question is what is the connection between Vahaftu Reachha Kameika and Tfilah? So Shimshan Pinkis in Nefeshimshon, Sidra Tfilah under Vahta, he explains that these two mitzvahs the mitzvah of a hafta reacha kamecha and the mitzvah of tfilah, at the root they are the same. How are they the same? So he says the root of the mitzvah of a haftrielha kamaika and the root of the mitzah of tfila is what? It's amuna. Why? So says Rashin Shankinkas, if someone can't love every single yid, then he is lacking emuna in the limitless kindness of Aqadish Baruch. Why? Because when we come to Akadish Barakh and Tfilah to ask for what we need, we're supposed to be turning to Akadish Baruch with the recognition that Akkadish Baruch loves us and wants everything that's best for us. And if we stop and think for a minute about that, we'll realize that it's not only us, but that same love that Akkadish Baruch has for me, he has for every yid in Klaisrah. It's not just me that Akkadish Baruch has this love. Every yid in Klayisro Shimpinus says it's like an only child, Akkadish Baruch. The love that Akkadish Baruch has for me, he has for that yid also. If so, if I have a problem with that yid, Rib Shim Shinpin explains this, it's as if you're saying, I have a problem, Kavi Yahu, with Akadish Baruch's only child. And Akash Baruch is saying, out of all the people in the world, you have a problem with my only child? So if you don't realize this to be the case, then we're lacking a Muna in the connection that Hashem has with every single yid. We don't believe that a Qadj Baruch has this connection with every single yid. And if we're lacking a muna in that connection, then with what kayak are we coming to Hashem when we dive in? Why do we expect Hashem will have mercy on us and answer our Tfilas if we don't believe in that connection that a Qadish Baruch has with every single yid? This is why before we dive in, we have to accept our ourselves the mitzvah of a haftal reacha kamaika. And Rashid Shapis ends off. This is why we say in Mataivu, we say, as for me, bereiv chazdich with your abundant kindness, I'll enter your house. What does that mean? With what kayak do I enter your house to Dav? With what kayak do I come before I roi chazducha with the kayak, with that muna in the kayak of your limitless kindness, that because of that kindness, because of the love and the connection that you have with every single year, it's with that imunah that I come to Davin and ask from you. That's the connection between the haftular kumaicha and filah, and that's also the connection of a haft al-Khamaika and Ani Hashem. That again, the root of a hafti kamaikah is what? Is the imun and a shem that a Qaj Baruchu has a connection with every single yidaker, and therefore I have to love every yid and clay sir. How could I have a problem with Akadish Baruch's only child? And I think especially during these days of Sfhira, we know the Shneam Asr el, Zugis Tamidim, Hoyla Bikiva, 24,000 Tamil Rakiva, they they they they passed away. Why? Mimneshiloi Nagu Koviz Elazeh. That this is the message that we have to take with us through the rest of the Sfirah. And this connection that Akadish Baruch has with us, that Khadj Baruch has with every single yid and clay. A love as if we are his only child, Kaviyahu.
