[Music] I'd like to share thoughts that appears in the upcoming partial but I think it really is a universal thoughts that is we have a rabbinic teaching that of Rama V no enacted that we pray in the morning the prayer of chakras gets luck enacted that we prayer when we pray in the afternoon and Yaakov Aveeno and that did the concept of praying at night the my reeve prayer the three three lots are because of the three of us there's an obvious question there because the Talmud tells us that Chaka reads the morning prayer woman hi the afternoon prayer are mandatory binding obligations but the prayer of arvid's according to the strict ilaha was actually optional it's become a Baliga torii let me emphasize that because it was a custom that was accepted by the Jewish people but according to the strict letter of the halacha the prayer of our bid is optional and the question is why should Avram and yet Scotch prayer be superior to that of Yaakov's prayer if their prayer is mandatory then Yakov's prayer should also be mandatory and there's a beautiful powerful thought from the great Hasidic leader rabbit southwark Rabinowitz of Lublin in which he says that the three prayers although they may have an identical text are designed to elicit distinct and unique emotions which connect us to God in different ways the prayer of the morning which ideally should be pray that the rising of the Sun represents the notion of gratitude and hope one gets up in the morning it's a new day you hear the birds singing no matter how difficult life is in the morning we have a sense of hope a sense of new possibility a sense of gratitude Shekhar it therefore is the prayer of thanksgiving gratitude hope and optimism
