The Rav has a song: "lemaala, lemaala vetagbia karnenu lemaala".
He has many, many songs
Machnisei Rachamim …
that is Machnisei Rachamim by R' Chaim Banet
So R' Shlomo was the soloist even as a child, is that right?
Mar'eh Kohen as well, many songs.
May it be Hashem's will that you be granted Mochin d'gadlut – great and wide-ranging intellect
Gather strength and continue to produce more songs for the world, Amen.
Illuminate Hashem's light and continue to bring "new song" into the world Amen.
Shira chadasha shibchu ge'ulim "with a new song the redeemed ones praised"
Why is it called "a new song"?
You know that we say "a new song"
How is it truly possible to sing song?
The Jewish people are leaving Egypt
The Yam Suf split for them
"The water was a wall for them on their right and on their left"
And now they must sing the song of the sea
This is a song that was said in a prophecy.
And it is a song that is said with regards to the future.
Now, how does each person know what to say?
The Gemara says that Moshe said it and they repeated
Everyone together, the sounds from the song
And the praises to Hakadosh Baruch Hu too
And the Hallel that we say, this was said by David and this was said by Yishai
And this was said by the brothers who were jealous of David
"The stone the builders despised has become the cornerstone" (Hallel)
But there is an allusion here – Pesachim 119
What does the allusion here teach us?
To teach us that the Jewish nation left Egypt.
And here there was a type of Divine Inspiration
Today we see in one prayer that…
I'm sure you are aware that they sing together, even in a minyan (10 people pray together)
It is difficult for all to remain at the same pace, even [just] a minyan
Here the entire nation leaving Egypt – six hundred thousand
And they all sing word for word together.
Without a single mistake, they all sing together
Therefore, we say: "with a new song the redeemed ones praised…
…At the seashore"
This was a new song
For there was never such a song before,
That everyone was able to sing in unison
So it is called a new song, this is the simple understanding
Why is it called a "new song"?
Because when the Jewish nation sang the song at sea
It was amazing that so many voices were heard
Where one voice did not drown out another
When you hear Kaddish and you hear a few together saying the Kaddish
This one is saying and another is concluding "let us say Amen", then you must answer Amen for each of them
And the Kaddish causes confusion
Because this one begins Kaddish
And exactly at that moment, another begins to recite with him
And they do not manage to maintain the same pace
Then you answer Amen
If they finish at the same time
Then the Amen you answer on this one also counts for this one
And if there is a gap between them
Then answer Amen and answer Amen again for the second one.
This is with regards to Kaddish in a minyan
So imagine for yourself what it was like when they left Egypt
And all managed to do this in unison, without any mistakes
Because of this we say: "With a new song the redeemed ones praised"
Therefore, it is called a new song
Because this is [really] something … this is something that had never occurred before.
Never before, that they all sang
And Hakadosh Baruch very much loves song
In Massechet Sanhedrin 94b
It is written that Hakadosh Baruch Hu wished
To make Chizkiyahu the Moshiach and Sanherib Gog
But because Chizkiyahu did not sing song he did not merit…
The numerical value of the words פרק שירה to "אורו של משיח (the light of the Moshiach).
Precisely – פרק שירה equals אורו של משיח
Because Hakadosh Baruch Hu has great love
When a person sings and plays and gives thanks to Him
Nebuchadnezzar sang song to Hakadosh Baruch Hu as did King David
Hakadosh Baruch Hu loves when people compose and sing before Him
And during the singing, you should have in mind to exalt and praise
And to truly unify the Name of Hashem
This is a test
Because when a singer sings
Is he singing in order for his voice to be heard
Or is he singing in order that his voice will be heard Above?
Here he must, every moment during the song
To have intent that his voice is heard in the Heavens and not to have his voice heard below.
And then every moment of the song is considered praising Hashem
Hakadosh Baruch Hu redeems him only when his voice is heard
Regarding this it states: "He saw when they were in distress" (Tehillim 106)
Hashem sees all his distress only when He hears their joy
Only from the sound of joy, from the fact that he sings to Hakadosh Baruch Hu
May it be the will of Hashem that you succeed in illuminating more tunes to the world and have great accomplishments
In Massechet Brachot it states: "whoever prays on behalf of another, he is answered first"
He has a birthday, can the Rav bless him.
You R' Eliyahu son of … the tzaddik
That you should have much mazel tov
Rejoice on this day
This is the day that Hashem made, let us rejoice and be glad in it"
That songs should come down to the world as well as happiness.
You should have Divine Assistance, mazel tov, and a good life
The mother of the children is happy, Amen
A song the Rav is familiar with, Machnisei Rachamim – is the Rav familiar with it?
Yes, I am familiar with it.
"Put in effort and add supplication"
"add supplication and requests"
Before the King
The high and lofty G-d
The King, the high and lofty G-dA G-d high and lofty
Put in effort and add supplication
And add supplication and request
Before the King
A G-d high and lofty
A King, a G-d high and lofty
Moving, it feels like a prayer
How it reaches and enters into Hakdosh Baruch Hu
It is like a prayer now that we are singing it, it is like a prayer
May it be the will of Hashem that you succeed all of your endeavors, amen
That you receive an abundance of good and have a very good life. Amen.
May you succeed in elevating the Torah and to illuminate the light of Hashem in all the worlds, Amen
Elevate the Torah and glorify it, may your springs spread outwards
This is for you
This is for the Rav, it is worthwhile, I always recommend to read a page a day
It is always good, it sweetens [makes for easier understanding] many laws
This response is the focal point of the entire Torah
I put out a new edition of this
Here I added a response that I wrote at the end
This is a prayer that I composed about peace of mind
Even these words here, see the prayer in the words
This will truly help, with Hashem's help
Thank you very much, thank you very much, elevate the Torah and glorify it
May your springs spread outwards
