03. Yehi Ratzon… before Korban Tamid (recited each morning, if Tachanun is said) (4 classes)
Posted: February 10, 2018
יהי רצון… תמידShort Version, Yeshiva. This prayer (in contrast to the pre-Ketores prayer) is said only on days when Tachanun is recited, though an argument does exist to say it (minus some words) always. It is (like so many “late to the game” prayers) compiled from several old prayers (including אתה יודע רזי עולם which we say each night in קריאת שמע שעל המיטה). There’s מחילה, כפרה, סליחה ומחילה for חטע עון פשע (respectively) explanations are suggested for each sequence. Le’asid כמצות רצוניך; through Moshe (more Bittul); through the divine “mouth” the deepest is revealed.
יהי רצון… תמידClass One. CLASS 08 WEDNESDAY 20 KISLEV 5776/ DECEMBER 2 2015. This prayer that precedes the פרשת התמיד is, in effect, a prayer for a prayer. We explained it like Brachos are explained (תורה אור בראשית) that when one cannot experience the light he ascends higher where, he won’t experience the light, but, he’ll have the greater power to do the Mitzvah. The three types of sin: חטא accidental, עון intentional, and פשע spiteful and the three words for atonement which are impossible to figure out: מחילה כפרה סליחה. יבנה vs. תבנה the בית המקדש.
יהי רצון… תמידClass Two. Class 09 Wednesday 4 Teves 5776/ December 16 2015. This class addresses the three words מחילה, כפרה, סליחה. The many opinions about how to align these three ideas with the three levels of sin: חטא, עון, פשע becomes very confusing. In our נוסח אדמו”ר הזקן he aligns חטא with מחילה, and כפרה with עון, and the two terms מחילה וסליחה with פשע. This was explained based on the idea (צמח צדק -?-) that סליחה creates a new will, like the will that can bring back a lost
מצות עשה. יהי רצון… תמידClass Three. In this (short) class we explore the text of this prayer (to the prayer of קרבנות), It is about compensating for a lack. After Moshiach comes it will be said but on a much higher level.
