Razei Emunim
Dear Vechol Ma’aminim
I would like to share with you a remez that I thought of. In Parashas Emor it says (Vayikra 22:20): “V’ish ki yakriv zevach shelamim l’Hashem lefalei neder oh l’nedavah...” The word לנדבה is numerically equivalent to 91 – which is equal to אמן, and this is an allusion that a person should donate from his time to answer amen after those who recite Birchos Hashachar in shul.
Proof of this concept is found in the Tanna Devei Eliyahu (Rabbah, Ch. 11) that explains the words (Shoftim 5:2): “Behisnadev am barchu Hashem” – to mean those who rise early to go to shul to answer amen.
May you be blessed for your tremendous work to disseminate the virtues of answering amen, and may Hashem repay you for your efforts.
With respect,
Yisrael Dovid Freund, Beitar Illit
