הושענא !
Hoshana!
”אנא ה’” — איך בעט דיך רבש”ע, “הושיעה נא” העלף איך בעט דיך,
אז איך זאל דיך קענען בעטען. (ר’ מאיר שלום פּאריסאָווער)“Ana Hashem” — ikh bet dikh ribono shel oylam, “hoshi’ah na”
helf ich bet dikh,
az ikh zol dikh kenen beten. (R’ Meir Sholem Parisover)”Ana Hashem” — I beg you, Master of the Universe, “hoshi’ah na” help me, I pray, that I may know how to pray to you.
Rebbe Nachman taught that we should pray to Gd the same way that we would talk to our closest friend and confidant. Tomorrow is Hoshana Rabba (Great Supplication), the seventh day of Sukkos, and the last and final day of the Judgment period that began on Rosh Hashana. If you haven’t done so yet, it might be a good time to take a few moments and have a good old-fashioned heart-to-heart with Hashem Yisboroch (Gd).
“A guten kvittl” (a good note) to everyone for a positive verdict. And may Hashem bless all of us with the ability to simply chat with our Maker.
