As we outlined, many of the creatures of generation sing tunes that are present in Tehilim, and Perek Shira may be the place in which They're mentioned. It tells us the scorpion says, Tov Hashem LKol God is good to all V’Rachamav Al Kol Maasav And has mercy on all His creations Why does the scorpion sing that? What’s the connection? Rav Chaim Kanievsky describes the scorpion is really a horrible mazik / destroyer, able to inflicting Demise with one Chunk. And for that reason, when you see a scorpion, you crush it and kill it. You are even allowed to get rid of a scorpion on Shabbat, as a result of danger. In addition, if a scorpion is coming to Chunk you, you run away, at any level in prayer. Due to this, God did a kindness While using the scorpion, which happens to be hunted by all. It provides birth to lots of, lots of offspring one particular time (the Yerushalmi suggests it presents beginning to 70 at any given time). And they don't appear out off eggs. They can be born Reside, in one solitary brood with lots of, several toddlers. It is because Hashem will not want the species to get worn out. So even on a thing as harmful for a scorpion, God has mercy. In A different quote from Ashrei , which can be taken from your animal kingdom, it says, סוֹמֵ֣ךְ ה׳ לְכׇל־הַנֹּפְלִ֑ים וְ֝זוֹקֵ֗ף לְכׇל־הַכְּפוּפִֽים God normally takes treatment of those who fall, and picks up Those people and that happen to be hunched over. That song was sung from the snake. The snake was cursed. He was the most important Nofel . His legs were being chopped off. With regard to the snake, it says, “ You shall go on the tummy.” But even so, God did a kindness to the snake, that on account of his curse, which was that Dust was could be his food stuff, where ever he goes, his sustenance is there. So even within the snake, God has mercy. These are definitely messages for us . The Gemara asks, what is the goal in God building every kind of rodents and creatures that do not genuinely include to generation? The Midrash solutions that in some cases Hashem appears to be like down at the earth and claims, “The whole world has no rationale to exist.” And God suggests to Himself, “ If I am holding the globe likely for creatures that do not have any actual purpose, like all These insects and rodents, there's no variance for everything else.
In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), delivers further more insights within the variety fifteen and its relationship to shalom : · It is the volume of terms in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates within a blessing of shalom . · Furthermore, he describes, a hand has fourteen joints, three on Each individual of your four fingers and two to the thumb. To the hand to represent shalom, it desires one more component. Hence, Chazal instructed us that when we create a berachah with a cup of wine, we should always maintain the cup during the palm in the hand; During this posture, it is called the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm gets the hand’s fifteenth component, So symbolizing shalom . · He connects this idea to the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah Students enhance peace.” It's because the rabbis have improved the instances for employing a kos shel berachah. These include Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, as well as night of Pesach. These are generally all times in which we place the kos inside our palm, contacting into services the fifteenth part of our hand, thus symbolizing the Identify of Shalom . · Over the 6 weekdays, we clean for bread 2 times each day, twelve occasions in all. On Shabbos, We've three foods, which provides the 7 days’s full to fifteen. Shabbos is each day of peace due to the fifteenth meal, Seudas Shelishis, which delivers shalom . Moreover, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is considered the most opportune the perfect time to pray for Arba Minim, the 4 Species we bless through Succos. As we learned inside our dialogue on Succos, the 4 species symbolize unity among the four types of Jewish people today. Why do we pray pertaining to these four species on Tu b’Shevat? The rabbis reveal that if we consider the trees on Tu B’Shvat, we see that they are bare. Tu b’Shevat marks the working day on which, in accordance with the Gemara , the sap starts off operating inside the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we are able to begin generating Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we say on looking at the tree’s buds begin to blossom. The seasons progress until finally last but not least, we arrive at Succos, when we harvest the fruit. Therefore, the progression toward Succos commences on Tu b’Shevat, after we pray for the necessary shalom from the Shivtei Kah, which last but not least expresses itself about the festival of Succos Together with the Arba Minim. Shevat is the thirty day period, and Tu b’Shevat the day, uniquely primed for our attempts to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.

Naturally, he essential a zechut for something which like that to occur, but I'm guaranteed the mother and father prayed difficult. In Tale selection two, there was a girl from Crackow who was Holocaust survivor. When she understood that her complete family members was missing, she went from the Derech and moved to Paris. There, she met a nice guy who went with the exact story. He was devastated by the Holocaust, and gave up everything.

What unbelievable Hashgacha! And again, clearly these people needed to have the zechut make this stuff take place. Have an exquisite day.
