Barcheinu Avinu Kulanu Ke'Echad
I try to reply to comments. Sometimes I fall behind. I think for the next week or more I will be posting less, at least I should be. Rosh HaShanah, the school year, the end of summer are knocking loudly. I apologize to those to whom I owe comments back. I love when the blog becomes a dialogue, just extra challenging right now. (Of course it's possible that I'll be back very soon with many posts and comments. "One never knows, do one.")
For some reason when put on the spot and ordered, "Tell me a vort - any vort," the first one that comes to mind is the one about this world being like a wedding hall but also being compared to darkness. The answer to this apparent contradiction is that the world is a beautiful place covered in darkness. Through leading a life of Torah we illuminate the true grandeur of the world. (I heard this from Rabbi Zevulun Charlap Shli"tah who cited someone else).
Wishing everyone well. Ketivah VeChatimah Tovah,
Rabbi Neil

i thought of a Dvar Torah I had heard on the words that are the title of your post. I read it in the sefer of Harav Avigdor Miller ztl on Tefillah, "Praise, My Soul." He attributed it to, I think, the Mashgiach of Slabodka . Harav Isaac Sher ztl. The vort is: When you say the words "Barcheinu Avinu Kulanu K'echad ," you should have as much kavana as when you say "Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokeinu Hashem Echad."
Wow. That's beautiful. Thanks.
P.S. I still owe comments back. Hang in there everyone.
