All I want to know, is do these awesome insights come from the shtickel crazy part, or the shtickel sane side?

Because they are way more than a shtickel amazing.

Trying,i identify 100 percent with what ur saying.night is much harder to find life in.rav shlachter suggests reading,talking to friends,going out,etc...

I'm facing  a potentially big nisayon tomorow that I can't avoid. B'h I am feeling great and doing my hishtadlus but I would really appreciate it if any of you tzadikim here can have me in mind in your davening/tehillim. Thanks

Today,Thursday,the 25th of Cheshvan,October 12th we recite perek 67,For the Conductor Upon Neginos.

Remember to have all of us in mind for a speedy healing and especially our brother Luria who iy'h should not have such a hard day tommorow...

This perek is about the time when Moshiach comes,may it be soon in our days...

"To make known Your way on Earth...."

Many have this idea of the Messianic Era.
All will be good.
Hashem's light will shine completely and thouroughly.
Hashem will bestow great kindness upon all.

But is that what Dovid says?
No.
"To make known Your way on Earth".
Hashem will not change.The world will.
The word world in lashon hakodesh is "olam" from the root "helem" (confusion,mishkababel).
It is written that all the love in this world is just Hashem expressing His love through certain channels (mother,father,etc..)
Gevaldig.
The world that we picture in the time of Moshiach.
That is now.
Except that people don't chap it.
The difference is that the confusion will lift.
Right now Hashem is all kind.
He is overflowing with love.
Unconditional love.
We can trust Him,if noone else at the moment.
He is watching every detail of our life to make sure we don't get harmed (unless we need it at that moment for the long run).
This is His world.
He fills the word.
And by extension,His kindness fills the world.
His glory.

The famous mashal of the Dubno Maggid.

Yossel'e the beggar was walking down the road on his way to a certain town.He was carrying a heavy bag on his back.A kind rich merchant passed on his wagon and offered Yossel'e a ride.After a few minutes,he realized that Yossel'e was still holding the heavy bundle. "Why?",he asked.
"What do you mean?I feel bad enough that your horse is carrying me.Should I make him carry the package also?!"

We all know that this Yossel'e is ridiculous.
But we are Yossel'e.
Hashem has things under control.
Stop trying to hold and control the burden.
Trust Him.
And let go.

A gut shabbos!!!

I know it sorta kills the whole anonymity of this site....which is the reason most of us have no problem piping up and getting help. but if anyone has a name of 'a freind' 'a coworker' or you 'know someboy' or even yourself? and want me to say a short tefila at chatzos time i'll take a few and daven for you guys long term [bli neder]. Aditionaly it will be me the incentive to ask Hakadosh baruch hu to help me deal with my own problem.  obviosly don't post it, but I have a Gmail account under the same name    shemirateinayim@gmail.com  .

ps appologies to the moderator if you aren't comfortable with this post, and you have full permission to delete it, lest it start a trend of giving names, and scaring ppl away from this site (you saved my life, and one day i hope to be able to show my hakaras hatov!! what I owe to you is beyond words in the english language to describe-mybe somewhere in shir hashirim

Not sure how many people read this thread but someone here must have been davening for me. B'h I cruised through this nisayon. Thank you Uri and everyone els

Good Shabbos

URI - Thursday post was unbelievable. Gadlus

SHEMIRATEINAYIM - What a beautiful thought. May Hashem answer your tefillos on behalf of everyone, especailly those for yourself.

LURIA - As soon as I saw your request, I had a feeling it was a no brainer. The koach of GYE tefillos rach the highest levels!

SHKOACH EVERYONE :D

k.im iy'h gonna wake this post back up from its slumber.
but just wondering how many people plan on doing/used to do the tehillim every day?
please vote above....

Okay.So let's continue where things started getting a little weak(i know,my fault.i apologize for my inconsistency).
I'm not sure if I will be able to give a summary and idea from the perek every day,but that does not mean that we are not reciting tehillim that day!
Come on guys.Tefillas rabim tamid nishmah!!

Today,Tuesday,5th of teves,we will beezras Hashem recite perek 68-For the Conductor(yup.again.)

Another perek about the impending geula,but as we all know,every perek and pasuk has its own message.
I found one such message in the malbim.
So sweet.So beautiful.So fitting.

Okay.
So as we all know,we at GYE have a big part in bringing Moshiach.
So we gotta know this stuff

The following words appear in persukim gimel and daled:
"As smoke is dispersed,please disperse them(our enemies).........And the righteous will be glad....."

The Malbim says the following...(if i didnt see this myself,i would have a hard time believing it)...
"Because the light of the shechina which is to evil ones as smoke,is to the righteous ones a cloud."

wo.

So let's see here.
Let's not consider ourselves tzaddikim just yet. (except for me,but im doing this for you guys )
Smoke.
This world.
Fog.
Unclear.
This detail alone is what seperates tzaddikim and rashaim.
This is what makes them who they are.
Allow me to explain...

There are many things going on all the time in this world.
Things happen to us.
We desperately want to be in control of all the events that are happening to us.
We want to see through the fog.
We have to know the future.
We gotta know everything that's going on.
Newspapers.
TV.
Radio.
A constant struggle to be in control.
Know what's going on.
Be prepared.
Be G-d.
But their life is still covered in fog.
There are many things we will never know.
Hard to accept.Believe me,I know.Scary.
Stumbling in the fog...
Not knowing who will come out of where with what.

But for tzaddikim,there is no fog.
It's true,there is a mist.Things are sometimes hard to see.
We don't know the future.
We don't even know the present.
Things can happen.
Things are happening.
But it is G-d's mist.
He sees everything.
He knows everything.
He runs everything.
And we stop stumbling and panicking.
He reaches out a hand.
And we all of a sudden realize that this is His fog.
And it is carrying us in the perfect direction.
In fact,it is more like a cloud.
And we can sit back,and let G-d carry us.
He loves us and He runs this place.
Things are gonna work out.

This is maybe what the pasuk is hinting to when it calls Am Yisrael the "dweller within".
Cause this is what we're all about.
We are riding on Hashem's cloud.
We can try to live in Hashem.

A quote from Dov:
"It's about really living in G-d. In G-d, there are no problems."

But how do I live in G-d?Who am I anyway?
Answer to come iy'h in tommorow kapitel,For the Conductor(surprised?)

Uri, that's beautiful!

Where did you get that quote from Dov? I don't remember that quote. (And believe me, I know Dov's quotes). Did he send you a PM without cc'ing me? I'll get him for that!  > 

Reminds me of a quote from Rage from today:

i cant hang around my head much, you see, because it is diseased...i need to be outside my head as much as possible... try to get into god's "head" so to speak...and trust me, theres a lot of good life out there to be had...

C'mon uri, i'm joining in. Together we'll rock gye and the heavens too. Why's everybody sleeping?! Is there any better tefillah than from people who are struggling so hard to be close to Him. "vayishma eloikim ess na'akosom" hashem saw that from the depth of their hearts they wanted to leave these troubles and become close to him. That's what it says, our ancestors were zoiche to the geula from their crys to hashem in the midst of all the impurities of mitzrayim. GYE'S FROM GYE, LETS CRY OUT TO HIM FROM THE DEPTH OF OUR HEART, YES WE KEEP ON SLIPPING BACK IN, BUT WE'LL CRY OUT TO HIM "HEEEEELLLLLP HASHEM"
