Manage episode 446259979 series 3320921
בְּעֵת הַנַּעֲנוּעִים צָרִיךְ לְהַגִּיעַ עַד הֶחָזֶה מָקוֹם שֶׁמַּכִּים בַּאֲמִירַת אָשַׁמְנוּ
[Between each of] the movements (naanuim), [the base of] the Four Species should be brought back to touch the chest, at the place one strikes during the confessional beginning Ashamnu.
אָמַר אַאַמוּ"ר בְּאַחַת הַהִתְוַעֲדוּת
My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], once said at a farbrengen
שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹמַר שֶׁזֶּהוּ כְּמוֹ הָעִנְיָן שֶׁעַל יְדֵי הַכּוֹבֶד רֹאשׁ שֶׁקּוֹדֶם הַתְּפִלָּה
that this practice reflects the concept that as a result of having experienced earnest submission before praying,
שֶׁמִּתְמַרְמֵר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ
and feeling contrite [on account of one’s sins],
עַל יְדֵי זֶה דַוְקָא יָכוֹל לִהְיוֹת אַחַר כָּךְ הִתְפַּעֲלוּת הַמִּדּוֹת בַּתְּפִלָּה
a person can then reach spiritual exuberance when he prays.
