Why Do We Need To Ask?
יום חמישי, 22 באפריל 2010
By Rabbi Ari Waldman
Students were jostling with each other. A students father delivered a bulk box of chocolate's to be given out to friends - everyone was trying to get some of the treat. Students were shouting Here Here !! Can I have? One shy student was standing in the crowd just hoping to get some. The chocolate disappeared, the shy boy didn't get any. He mustered up some courage he asked the would be chocolate giver why "Why didn't you give me any?" He answered "because you didn't ask!"
My question is, does Hashem also want us to ask?
The answer is yes - Hashem wants us to ask. Proof is from Bereishies 2 Pasuk 5 which tells us the shrubs and the didn't yet grow for there was no man to work the land . Rashi says there was no man to recognize the goodness of the rain; when Adam was created he recognized their necessity and prayed for rain "The rain fell , and trees and grass grew." We see from here that the need to ask Hashem was already built in to creation by Hashem .
Now you can ask but Hashem knows what I need, why can't he just give me, why do I need to ask?
The answer is when we ask Hashem that comes from the clarity of faith that...
a. Hashem is listening
b. Only Hashem can deliver the goods
So we ask Hashem for what we need and through that we have a relationship with Hashem. Harav Shalom Arush Shlita countless times in his Garden Of Emuna Book says Emuna is prayer. A person who asks Hashem has a relationship with Hashem. Its up to us to make our relationship personal. I need x, you need y so ask Hashem. Anytime of day. The more you ask the closer to Hashem you will feel and more chances of your prayer to be answered.
Remember the need to pray was built into creation, you ask you get....
The Rashi quoted told us that the rain had to be appreciated and asked for, then Hashem delivered . That's the way Hashem wants it to be for our own good to have a relationship with Him.
With Thanks We're Starting!

We are very proud to announce that we received our Sefer Torah today. This very night of Zayin Nissan. We were privileged to bring the Torah in to our house and soon very soon, to bring it into our temporary location here in Ramat Beit Shemesh.
The Torah tells us that this 'Nissan' Shall be the 'Rosh' the head of all the months for you. This means that not only is this a 'New Year', but also a 'New Season', A month of 'spring time' the time when all is rejuvenated and coming alive. This is a time when we can bring down a new blessing and a new ratzon. We are told that every day between the first of the month and pesach we have the incredible abundance and an outpouring of shefa. for this is the place that the redemption draw forth it's strength. the whole idea and concept of the geula is set against the back drop of the the flowering fields and trees. The is a reawakening in nature as well. But the root of all this is the redemptive power that is released at this time of year, if we could just focus on this in the middle of all the cleaning and shopping and hustle and bustle.
We are told that we are to remind ourselves and to explain this to our children. This the season leading up to the giving of the Torah of Truth. a time of renewal Rebbe Nachman taught us that this is a prime time to do T'shuva. We are to do allot of soul searching right up until we burn the chametz. Then on pesach night the night of the Seder we are to rejoice in our freedom. To rejoice in the fact that even though we did not merit it we were redeemed, It was and still is an unmerited free gift of pure love from our father.
And it is at this very time that we are starting a new Kehila hopefully to be example of faith and trust 'Kehilat Hodayah V'Simcha, will be Hashem willing this Shabbos 'Shabbos HaGedol' to open its doors to the public and Hashem willing the geula!
Please pray for our success. We are an English speaking, Breslev friendly Emunah based congregation. We endeavor to spread the teaching of Emunah filled stress free life, according to the teachings of the Torah as brought down by the Holy Tzaddikim and as we have receive them from Rebbe Nachman and as I learned from my teacher HaRav Shalom Arush shilta.
So come out and enjoy a lively joyful sincere atmosphere, one of love and togetherness and kindred spirit.
For more information call Rabbi Kinstein at 050 851 4325 or email mailto:office@yeshmalasot.org Of course our success depends on your involvement, coming and donating.
Baruch Hashem we are on the way! Thank you for your pray and for your support, and may Hashem bless all of you this Pesach season.
And may it be in the merit of our joy and thanksgiving that we all merit the coming of our righteous redeemer and the Geula and Beis HaMikdash in the Holy city of Jerusalem Amein!
