Podcasts about Tehillim

There is an obligation to recite the complete Hallel ("Hallel Gamur") on each of the eight days of Hanukah. This obligation applies regardless of whether one prays with a Minyan or privately. One recites the introductory Beracha before Hallel – "Ligmor Et Ha'hallel" – as well as the concluding section of "Yehalelucha" which ends with the Beracha, "Baruch Ata Hashem Melech Mehulal Ba'tishbahot Amen." The reason why one answers "Amen" to his own Beracha is because when a Beracha is recited at the conclusion of a series of Berachot, one recites "Amen," as we do each night at Arbit, when we recite before the Amida, "Baruch Ata Hashem Shomer Amo Yisrael La'ad Amen." One may recite Hallel anytime from sunrise to sunset, as the verse in Hallel states, "From the sun's rising until its setting, Hashem's Name is praised" (Tehillim 113:3). Nevertheless, if one mistakenly recited Hallel before sunrise, but after Amud Ha'shahar (the point when light first appears on the eastern sky), he has fulfilled his obligation. If a person forgot to recite the Beracha before Hallel, and he remembered before he completed the Hallel service, he may recite the Beracha at that point and then continue. As long as he still has some part of Hallel remaining to recite, he may recite the Beracha. It is forbidden to make any sort of verbal interruption during the recitation of Hallel. However, if a person hears a Beracha as he recites Hallel, he should answer "Amen" to the Beracha. Likewise, one should interrupt Hallel to answer to Kaddish, Kedusha and Barechu. This applies only to the first five "Amen" responses of Kaddish; one should not interrupt Hallel to answer "Amen" to "Titkabal" and the later passages of Kaddish. If a person hears a Beracha, Kaddish, Kedusha or Barechu after he completed Hallel, but before he recited "Yehalelucha," he should answer "Amen," and does not have to rush to complete "Yehalelucha." Women are exempt from the obligation of reciting Hallel on Hanukah, even though they are included in the obligation of candle lighting. A woman who wishes to recite Hallel on Hanukah certainly may, though she should not recite the Berachot before and after the Hallel recitation.

Tes-Zayin Kislev (23:26)

In this week's parasha, Vayetzeh, we see the awesome power of prayer and good deeds. Chazal tell us that Rachel Imenu was not capable of having a child. But because she was willing to give up her potential husband Yaakov to her sister Leah, to save her from embarrassment, Hashem changed nature and gave her a womb to have a child. But even then, after Rachel did that special deed, she still needed tefillah to complete the salvation. As the pasuk says, "וישמע אליה אלוקים." When Leah was expecting her seventh child, she felt bad for her sister Rachel. If that child was to be a boy, it would mean Rachel would have less of the shevatim than the maidservants. So Leah prayed that the child should be a girl. And the Gemara says her prayers changed nature, because that child was supposed to be a boy, and Hashem switched it. We never lose hope in any situation we're in, because we always have a way to be helped. The Sefer Emunah Shelemah tells a story about Rabbi Yosef Yoel Kahane, the grandson of the Shomer Emunim. He got married about forty years ago, and like all couples, he and his wife were anticipating having children. Year after year, they waited, but things were not looking good for them. Rabbi Kahane said he went to a great mekubal for a beracha, and the mekubal told him, "I'm sorry, but you're not going to have children." He went to another tzaddik who told him the same thing, and then advised him that he should have students, and they will be considered like his children. Rabbi Kahane, however, never gave up. He knew Hashem could do anything, even if there was a decree in shamayim that he would not have children. It had already been thirty one years since his wedding, and there appeared at that time to be no ray of hope for him, but he still believed. He decided to go to Kever Rachel every single morning to pray. He would arrive a few hours before tefillah began and say the entire Tehillim with heartfelt tears. He never missed a day. After an entire year with still no progress, the Evil Inclination tried to break him saying, "Why are you paining yourself going through all this trouble. It's not working anyway. The rabbi knew that every word of Tehillim and tefillah that he said was never in vain. Each word was, in and of itself, the greatest gain he could possibly get. Tehillim and Tefillah are mitzvot like any other, and earn us eternal rewards. The rabbi persisted, and for another entire year he kept the same schedule going to Kever Rachel every morning, hours before the tefillah, and reciting the entire Tehillim. At the end of the second year, on the 12th day of Adar Sheni , in the year 2011, his wife gave birth to twins after thirty three years of marriage and mekubalim telling him he would never have a child! His tefillot and good deeds defied all odds and broke decrees. Hashem changed nature for him. Rabbi Elimelech Biderman told that Rabbi Yochanan Lazer Katz from Williamsburg called him recently to tell him about an open miracle that took place in his kehillah. In his Shul, Imreh Shefer , they are very careful to never talk during Tefillah. A man started praying there recently, and he had been sick for the past two years. The congregation as a whole accepted upon themselves for his refuah that for forty days they would not talk in shul, even when they prayed in other shuls. Baruch Hashem, that man was healed, but that's not the miracle that that rabbi called to tell Rabbi Biderman about. Another congregant's wife was diagnosed with a cancerous growth. She went for a second opinion, and had an MRI taken, and it showed the same growth. She went to a top specialist who charged an exorbitant fee. He ordered two different tests, both of them showing the same growth. He scheduled an immediate surgery for that week, which was November 5th, this past month. The surgery took longer than expected. Right when the surgery began, her husband prayed and spoke to Hashem from his heart. He said "These past forty days I have held back opening my mouth in any shul I prayed in," and he said it was extremely difficult. He continued "I'm going to do it, Hashem, for at least another six months. Please have mercy on my wife and heal her." After the surgery was finished the doctors came out and said, "We never saw anything like this." They were holding all four pictures of the tests which showed the growth. "We searched and searched. It's not there. There is nothing inside of her." Prayer and good deeds can do wonders. They are always available to us and we should take complete advantage of them. Shabbat Shalom.

What did Yeshua mean when He said that the meek "shall inherit the earth"? He must have been thinking about this psalm since that phrase is used here five times! We also learn what it means to shepherd out faith as we also encounter an [almost] untranslatable word. This psalm provides great comfort when it appears that the wicked are winning and the righteous are losing. Throughout this psalm, we are commanded to "fret not", and are taught why.

In this psalm, we hear two voices: the voice of evil itself inside the human being, and the voice of the spirit within each person. These two voices offer opposing counsel: one urges us to do what is right in our own eyes - "do things your way" - and the other, to do what is right in God's eyes. This psalm describes the two opposing forces at work in the world today and provides sound advice for leading a righteous and successful life.

Saying Sh'ma twice daily is the education needed for a king

I began the study of this psalm the morning that Hamas began their attack on innocent Israeli civilians. I did not realize then that this psalm perfectly describes Israel's enemies and even identifies Hamas by name! Psalm 35 serves as a timely prayer for the people of Israel.

When we proclaim what we want, we have the ability to create miracles! Israel is at war with Hamas. Each and every Jew is fighting this battle. Some Jews are on the ground, fighting with guns and tanks; that is the physical war. However, even if you are not fighting the physical war, you can still be engaged in the spiritual war. We are all Spiritual Warriors, each of us helping to win this war in our own way. Orly speaks to us about how each Jew can do something that they connect with in order to help Israel win the war. Some people bake challah, others send much needed items to Israel, and you should do what resonates with you. Orly shares an interesting story about how her friend, who loves to drive, donates her time driving goods all around Israel to those who need them. We are all soldiers in Hashem's army; we all have to man our post in our own way. Orly talks about a few of the campaigns that she is implementing on the spiritual war front to help protect the soldiers. Through her free app, Abraham's Legacy, she holds an event every evening, Sunday-Thursday, via Zoom (link below) where people read Tehillim (Psalms), finishing the entire book of psalms multiple times a night. Psalms are a HUGE spiritual protection for our soldiers! Orly also speaks about the mitzvah of netilat yadaim (spiritual washing of the hands.) She has a company called Netilah, which makes special hand washing cups made our of 100% pure copper. Copper has a tremendous connection to healing. Aside from being a natural antibacterial metal, kabbalistically, copper has a deep spiritual purpose. Copper connects with and purifies water upon contact; it protects the water before it reaches your hands. For more information on Netilah, please visit www.netillah.com There is a link between our voices, which we use for davening (praying), and our hands. When we refrain from speaking badly about others, we purify our voices. When we have pure voices, our prayers can reach G-d more quickly and easily; they don't get stuck in the energy of negativity. We can achieve this purification of our voices by JUDGING OTHERS FAVORABLY and speaking well of others. When we think good, we speak good. Think good, and it will be good. Regarding our hands, when we sleep 1/60 of our soul dies. Death is considered impure. When we wake up from sleep, we use a netilat yadaim cup (also known as a klee), to do a spiritual washing of our hands, which Orly explains to us. This washing of our hands, done slowly, and with focus and good intention, can purify our hands. When our hands are purified, the things that we do with them are elevated; baking challah, cooking, making cards for soldiers, packing supplies for the IDF, etc. What you do with pure hands and pure intentions is an elevated mitzvah. Orly can be reached at: info@abrahamslegacy.com or via Whatsapp: +1-917-748-8032 In trying times such as these we find ourselves asking what can we do to help? Tefillah has always and will always be something we can turn to. As we know every prayer said, every chapter of Tehillim brings a tremendous level of protection.

The war we're experiencing in Israel (started by Hamas from Gaza on October 7th, 2023) isn't the first dark time we Jews have endured. You'd have to live under a rock to think that we have never experienced such atrocities like this before. Looking back only 100 years, one could get a sample of understanding as to where we Jews acquired our thick skin. Would you suspect that our strength comes from poetry? Rabbi and frequent reciter of Tehillim, Rabbi Josh Franklin of the Jewish Center of the Hamptons, sheds light on the secret weapon Jews possess. Franklin goes into detail on why these 150 psalms, thought to be written by the prophecy of King David, are timeless pieces that have given Jews the strength to survive for 3000+ years. Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew, who recently became aware of this collection of writings, sits with Rabbi Franklin to learn of the relevant texts and history of Tehillim. About Rabbi Josh Franklin: Rabbi Josh Franklin heads the Jewish Center of the Hamptons (East Hampton) as the Senior Rabbi. In his six years on East End, he has helped revitalize and grow the Jewish community through engaging programming, transformative classes, inspiring worship, and welcoming community outreach. Hundreds of people flock to his community for Shabbat on the Beach each week over the summer for an innovative and magical prayer experience. All year round, he draws people to the Jewish Center of the Hamptons to hear from him and learn with him.  In addition to his role at the synagogue, Rabbi Franklin contributes widely to the greater Hamptons community. He co-writes a bi-monthly column in Dan's Papers called “Hamptons Soul,” discussing issues of spirituality and justice in the Hamptons. He has sat on numerous local committees including the East Hampton Police Reform Committee and the Adolescent Mental Health and Substance Use Task Force. He also sits on the board of L'Arche Long Island, a community center and home for adults with developmental disabilities. Rabbi Franklin was named to the 2021 Schneps Media Powerlist, honoring the movers and shakers on the East End of Long Island. Dans Papers named Rabbi Franklin one of its “People of the Year: East Enders Who Made the World A Better Place in 2022.” Before receiving his ordination at Hebrew Union College, Rabbi Franklin attended Clark University in Worcester, MA. There he graduated Magna Cum Laude, receiving both a B.A. and M.A in History. He also holds two additional masters degrees in Jewish Education and Hebrew Literature. Rabbi Franklin was the recipient of the Daniel and Bonnie Tisch Fellowship, a rabbinical program exploring congregational studies, personal theology, and contemporary religion in North America. Before coming to the Hamptons, he served as a rabbi at Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley, MA.  Rabbi Franklin resides in East Hampton with his wife Stephanie and two children Lilah and Amelia.
