Prayers of Renewal: Biblical Inspirations in the Liturgy of Yamim Noraim, 1 of 2

We often think of the liturgy for the Yamim Noraim as static words confined to the pages of the machzor. However, these prayers draw from the rich tapestry of the Tanakh. In the first part of this two-part series, we'll explore the biblical inspiration that breathes life into Psalm 27, sometimes called “L'David Hashem.” Many have the practice of adding this psalm to their daily prayers during Elul and Tishrei. This psalm-prayer has intriguing intertextual parallels with the passages in Tanakh that describe a city of refuge, a connection that holds rich significance if we read the psalm as a meditation on guilt and responsibility. In part two, we'll explore the passages from the book of Nehemiah that become climactic phrases used in Selichot, the prayer added during Elul and on Yom Kippur. Understanding the desperation and hope that characterized Nehemiah's time period yields add meaning to the recitation of these prayers.

The lion roared. It roared last Elul, it roared last Rosh Hashana, it roared on Yom Kippur and it roared on Hoshana Rabba, October 6th – but we didn't hear it In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Daily Bitachon

Welcome to our special series of pesukim of Musaf Rosh Hashanah. We are up to the first pasuk of Shofarot . Shofarot talks about the shofar of Har Sinai in the first three pesukim, then the shofar of nowadays, and the last three pesukim are about the shofar of Mashiach . And now our first pasuk, וַיְהִי֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֜י בִּֽהְיֹ֣ת הַבֹּ֗קֶר וַיְהִי֩ קֹלֹ֨ת וּבְרָקִ֜ים וְעָנָ֤ן כָּבֵד֙ עַל־הָהָ֔ר וְקֹ֥ל שֹׁפָ֖ר חָזָ֣ק מְאֹ֑ד וַיֶּחֱרַ֥ד כׇּל־הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּֽמַּחֲנֶֽה On the third day, in the morning, there was Kolot U'Brakim/thunder and lightning, with a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the loud sound of the shofar, and everybody trembled. The Toldot Yitzhak says that these Kolot were the voices of the angels that praised Hashem every morning, and the B'rakim , the lightning was also angels that were fiery. So they had a revelation of the angels. But why the heavy cloud ? Because if the Jewish people would see the angels, they'd be panic stricken, so Hashem put up a cloud to protect them. This was a tremendous revelation. That's one understanding. The Midrash Shir Hashirim, 1,57 tells us something very interesting- that Hashem is compared to a king who says, I'm coming to the town on such-and-such date, but when he gets there, everybody's sleeping. He has to get trumpeters to wake them up, and the mayor of the town goes around to make sure everyone gets up to greet the king. So too, Hashem came, and everybody was sleeping, because it was a short night. They were tired, so they wanted to take advantage. As they were enjoying a good night's sleep, Hashem finds them sleeping. He wakes them up with the thunder and the lightning, and Moshe goes around to wake them up. It's very interesting, that this is our first pasuk of Shofarot , because the Rambam tells us the hint of the shofar is, Wake up, you sleepy ones. The first shofar that we blow, the shofar of Har Sinai, is Wake up, you sleepy ones . So there's a strong connection between our shofar and the shofar of Har Sinai- and the whole purpose of the Torah is to wake us up from our slumber and our sleep with the truth . That's why there was this symbolic sleep that the Jewish people were sleeping, and Hashem had to wake them up. So too, on Rosh Hashanah, we are, in a way, sleeping , as the Rambam says, because we're pulled in by the Havlei HaZman / vanities of the time, and we don't connect ourselves with the truth of the Torah. So this pasuk is, so to say, a wake-up call , that reminds us that we are in a state of sleep, and not seeing the world in its proper way. And Hashem comes to wake us up, A pasuk in Shir Hashirim 5,2 tells us, אֲנִ֥י יְשֵׁנָ֖ה וְלִבִּ֣י עֵ֑ר ק֣וֹל ׀ דּוֹדִ֣י דוֹפֵ֗ק פִּתְחִי־לִ֞י אֲחֹתִ֤י רַעְיָתִי֙ יוֹנָתִ֣י תַמָּתִ֔י שֶׁרֹּאשִׁי֙ נִמְלָא־טָ֔ל קְוֻצּוֹתַ֖י רְסִ֥יסֵי לָֽיְלָה׃ I am sleeping and my heart is up. Hashem is the Tzur Levavi/the Rock of my heart. And God bangs on the door. He sends us our prophets, to wake us up. Open up the door. Wake up. Don't stay in a sleepy state. And the first pasuk of Shofarot gives us that important message. Sepharadim say Selichot for the entire month of Elul , and we open with the words Ben Adam Ma Lecha Nirdam/Oh, man, why are you sleeping? Get up. There's a serious situation at hand right now. You can't be asleep. This was what the captain told Yonah, when Yonah was sleeping- Yonah, get up! You can't sleep now. The ship is going to capsize! Our lives are being decided now. It's not a time to sleep! The shofar is a reality check, the truth of the shofar . As the Rambam says, we might have spent our whole year chasing imaginary fantasies and thrills, but come Rosh Hashanah, it's time to wake up, and, as we say, smell the coffee . Smell the reality. That's the first shofar blowing, to wake up the sleepy people on the night of Matan Torah, and to wake up the sleepy people on the day of Rosh Hashanah.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour

It is customary among Sepharadim to recite Selihot each morning during the month of Elul, ideally around the time of dawn. One should recite the morning Berachot before reciting Selihot; in particular, one must ensure to wash his hands with the Beracha of "Al Netilat Yadayim," and recite Birkat Ha'Torah, before Selihot. It should be noted that according to some authorities, the time for the morning hand washing begins only at dawn. We do not follow this opinion, as we allow a person to wash his hands with the Beracha as soon as he wakes up with the intent of remaining awake for the day, even if this occurs in the middle of the night. However, in deference to the view that the time for washing begins only after dawn, one who washed his hands before dawn should preferably wash his hands again – though without a Beracha – after dawn. During the period of Selihot, then, one should arise early, wash his hands with a Beracha, recite the other morning Berachot, and then recite Selihot. After Selihot, he should preferably wash his hands again without a Beracha. As mentioned, the preferred time for reciting Selihot is the time of dawn, as this is the time when the Almighty is especially receptive to our prayers. Nevertheless, it is permissible to recite Selihot earlier, anytime after Hasot (midnight as defined by Halacha), or later, anytime throughout the day. Thus, for example, many communities hold Selihot services late on Mosa'eh Shabbat, after Hasot, since many people are up late on Mosa'eh Shabbat and it would be difficult for them to wake up at dawn for Selihot. By the same token, people who, for whatever reason, cannot recite Selihot early in the morning may arrange a Minyan for Selihot at any point throughout the day. Summary: Selihot should ideally be recited at dawn, though it may be recited at anytime from Hasot (midnight as defined by Halacha) until the end of the day. One should perform the morning hand washing with a Beracha and recite the other morning Berachot before reciting Selihot. If one washed his hands before dawn, he should preferably wash his hands again after dawn without a Beracha.

Parshat Ki Tisa contains many ideas we still keep today. Among these: God values all Jewish people equally, which is why every person, whether rich or poor, contributed a Machatzit HaShekel when it came time for them to be counted. Even nowadays, we keep the laws of washing our hands Netilat Yadayim when we wake up or eat bread as a way of preparing ourselves to perform our Avodah for God, just like the Kohanim did when they used the Kiyor. By keeping Shabbat, we are testifying that we believe God created the world and rested on the seventh day. Even negative traits like stubbornness can be channeled and used for good. There is a special way to pray before God to remind Him to have mercy on us using the Yud-Gimmel Middos, His 13 special attributes. We use this today when we prepare for the holiest days of the year, saying special prayers called Selichot and hoping that God forgives any mistakes we might have made over the course of the year.
