Affectionately called Chaba Shira by Jews around the world. This Chaba is not just par but is Cha par Cha Shira, the chaba of song based on the soulful, stirring, melodious harmonious song that the Jewish people sang. After the miraculous salvation, the water smashed down upon the Egyptians is now the Jews were saved and they began to sing. We say it during now. The word Shira says Akin Friedlander song actually comes from the word or very closely related to the word shk. Shura means roe means order, means orderly, and that is because a proper song has balance, has lyrical, equi, lyrical equilibrium. And we definitely find that in this song. However, two problems arise when you get into the text. You find a grammar grammatical error according to the gamar and San Hedron 91 B. When the words are[inaudible] right at the beginning, it should say us[inaudible] Oz sier, which is future tenses. It should not be future tenses. It should say oz sha. Why is it Oz Sier? Number two, there's something interesting and unique about Oz Sier in the way that it's written in the Torah. You might see when they do Haba, when they rip the, when they lift the sacred safer terah up, that the actually writing of the song was written. Alga. Lavena. There's it's written in a lattice grid-like fashion where there's little gaps in between the writing and that's laws for how to write a se Torah. Where does the sofa have to begin writing it that way? Well, from the beginning of the song, woman Assume, but the Round By My Paskins that actually it's written that way. All the way back from the words[inaudible] and then they sing, which is only the precursor introduction to the song. It should begin. Here's a question. Finkel also discusses this. It should begin where the words are.[inaudible] That's where it should begin, not by Osher, then they sing This's. Just the introduction until we come across what the point of song is based on the go in on this lama. Why is it said? Why doesn't it say[inaudible] Here's the answer. The reason that we sing is it starts from the heart when that person becomes overjoyed. When a person becomes so excited, so happy, it is an overpour of emotions and therefore us and then they sang[inaudible] believe them once. It just was bursting forth ey. Therefore, they just started to sing. The singing was written in future tense because it began in the heart. The Jews were so overcome with emotions and then they sing. That's why it's future tense.[inaudible] and then they went ahead and sang, you know what? It has to be written as the Rambo, the same way as the rest of the song, because it's the most vital part of the song because then they sang. It's not an introduction,
Speaker 2:But it is essential. Song is a very important thing. It's something that we shouldn't take lightly. It is an overpour of sim. It is an overjoyed heart that you just can't find the words to say, so you just start to sing and it we pray for the day as the Gamar finishes in San Hedron, that Oz in the future ya shear. Then in the future, they will sing. We will sing when Michelle comes again for the next miraculous salvation. When Miss Ha shows up, it should be soon. In our days we will all be together as Oz. And then ya shear, we will sing, sing.
