in preparing the kinis for this year i was bothered by the following difficulty you know there are 45 kenos that we say as part of the regular kenneth service 45 big amatria adam perhaps to indicate that it's not only the best that is destroyed but it is we who are supposed to be the mishkan and the mikdash for the shrina we too are in a state of foreben but not only are we necroth but we are so spiritually bereft and spiritually incapacitated that it's as if 45 all 45 components of our entity are no longer existent are in a state of devastation also like we learned in the haftarah mikafreg el viad roy shain boy messim so that's not only the miktash that is it is we who are necharav and by reciting the 45 kinase we try not only to rebuild the base hamikdash we try to rebuild ourselves physically emotionally and spiritually but i was troubled by the formula of the kenneth specifically the last ten can us the last ten kenos that we recite on teshav are known as the seoin kenoise all ten keno's begin with the word sion except for one except for mem aleph all of these ten kinos express the fundamental principle that artsy swirl is the chosen land of akadesparcho but what troubled me is after thinking about the meaning of some of the words of the kinase it hit me that they're not kinis at all in what way are these kenneths they're extolling the majesty and the grandeur of eretz israel but they're not mournful they're not morose for example in kino lamidvar kina lam above of course was written by rabbi halevi opened up opposite the gates of you shall i am the sharimala so that when so many dhavans and you shall i am that feelers go
