Shabchi Yerushalayim es Hashem, halleli Elokayich tziyon. Ki chizak b’richei sh’arayich, beirach banayich b’kirbeich.
Praise Hashem, O Jerusalem; laud your G-d, O Zion. For He has strengthened the bars of your gates, and blessed your children in your midst.
Nosein liv’heimah lachmah, livnei oreiv asher yikra’u.
He gives to an animal its food, to young ravens that cry out.
Periodically, we will include segments designed to assist us as we seek to raise our tefilos to higher levels of heart, mind, and connection. In this segment, we will offer one suggestion that can make a huge difference in our entire tefilah and in our lives: PREPARATION!
Ha’m’chaseh shamayim b’avim, ha’meichin la’aretz matar, ha’matzmiach harim chatzir.
Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes mountains sprout with grass.
Lo vigvuras ha’sus yechpatz, lo v’shokei ha’ish yirtzeh. Rotzeh Hashem es y’rei’av, es ha’m’yachalim l’chasdo.
Not in the strength of the horse does He desire, and not in the legs of man does He favor. Hashem favors those who fear Him, those who hope for His kindness.
We have previously completed the brachah of Ahavah Rabbah in our Tefilah Focus series. At this time, in connection with the Yom Tov of Shavuos, we are adding these thoughts, which did not appear in our initial segments.
