----- Forwarded Message -----From: "'Chicago Aneinu' via chicago-aneinu" <chicago-aneinu@googlegroups.com>To: "Chaya Miriam" <myysbyy@aol.com>Sent: Tue, Oct 1, 2024 at 12:43 PMSubject: [chicago-aneinu] Excerpt from Kol Koreh with recommendations for current situation--Below is an excerpt from the kol korei released this past week by the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of America regarding general tikkunim that should be undertaken in light of the overall situation we find ourselves in.
...Therefore, we find it fitting to remind the community of several key points that we should all be diligent about at this time:
1. Each person should commit, during these Yemei Harachamim V'haratzon, to be vigilant about davening with a minyan, so that all our prayers may join together with the collective prayer, which is always heard. Additionally, we should join the community in reciting the chapters of Tehillim that are said together at the end of davening in all holy communities, and women and children should also recite these chapters of Tehillim daily.
2. No part of Pesukei Dezimra should be skipped. Therefore, everyone should strive to arrive at shul early and not be late, so that they can recite the entire Pesukei Dezimra with enthusiasm and focus, as mentioned in the halachic sources.
3. Great care should be taken to avoid idle conversation during davening and the reading of the Torah, especially during chazaras hashatz, as it is written in the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 124:7) that one who engages in such conversation "sins and his sin is greater than one can bear."
4. We must strengthen our faith in Hashem, which is the foundation of our faith. It is appropriate for everyone—men, women, and children—to set aside time every morning to review the Thirteen Principles of Faith, thus awakening ourselves to strengthen our complete belief.
5. We should accept upon ourselves practical commitments regarding modesty, for, as the posuk states, "Hashem, your G-d, walks in the midst of your camp, and your camp shall be holy." By doing this, we will merit the presence of the Shechinah and the supervision of Hashem to protect us from all evil.
In addition to all this, each person knows the state of their own soul and which matters require teshuvah and improvement. In these times, when judgments are weighed, we must awaken to correct our actions and character traits, strengthen our Torah study and set fixed times for learning, serve with our hearts, accept the yoke of Heaven, and increase acts of charity and kindness to uplift the spirits of the downtrodden. May it be Hashem's will that the Shomer Yisroel accept our service, hear our cries with mercy and favor, and inscribe us in the Book of Good Life for a blessed year, filled with redemption and salvation. Amein, so may it be His will.
