Three Tenses of Divine Kingship
- Saying "Hashem Melech, Hashem Malach, Hashem Yimloch" affirms God's rule in present, past, and future simultaneously.
- Rabbi Elyahu Silberberg explains this order emphasizes current acceptance while grounded in history and directed to the future.
Bridge Spiritual Highs To Daily Life
- We should integrate spiritual highs into our everyday self, not create separate 'davening me' and 'weekday me.'
- Rabbi Silberberg draws on Medrash and Chassidic teaching to show true growth bridges inspiration and reality.
Use Inspiration To Fix Real Habits
- When inspired, remember your ordinary faults so the inspiration can correct everyday behavior.
- Use your davening to change real habits, not to create a separate, transient spiritual identity.
