לרפואת התינוק חיים בן חנה רייזל
ור' אלטר יעקב נתנאל חיים בן ליבא מרים
בתוך שח"י
Please daven for them!:-)
In the tfilla לעולם יהא אדם ירא שמים we say מה אנו מה חיינו etc. What are we, What is our lives.... We express our utter nothingness in considerable detail. Then we say מה נאמר לפניך - "What can we say before you"???
What do we mean "what can we say before you?"??!! We just said it very clearly!
Says Maran Harav: After all is and and done - no words can truly express our nothingness.
Humility.
Our existence is totally-completely-absolutely-fully dependent upon the constant will of Hashem. If He doesn't will our existence and the functioning of our vital organs for but one second we are ח"ו done. Lights out.
What a משמח, uplifting idea! I can let go of my ego! I don't always have to be right or successful. I am actually a nothing. Dust of the earth on my best day.
All of our abilities and existence comes from Above and any independent power is all an illusion. There are really no words - hard as we may try - to fully express this idea.
מה נאמר לפניך!!
