29:35 The
Tur Al Hatoirah and Rabbeinu Bachye brings it as well. When Leah gives birth,
she names her fourth child Yehuda. It says in the Posuk, “הַפַּעַם אוֹדֶה אֶת-יְרוָר.” Chazal say, she was the first person to give true Hoida’a to
Hakadoish Baruch Hu. The same Posuk says, (וַתַּעֲמֹד, מִלֶּדֶת). After that she stopped giving birth. This is unusual, as by
other women the Torah doesn’t say they stopped giving birth. Therefore, the Tur
understands as follows, there was a Chisaroin here that when she gave Hoida’ah
to Hakadoish Baruch Hu, that there should be a Bakashah as well for the future.
We find by Rochel later when
she says in 30:24, “(יֹסֵף יְרוָר לִי, בֵּן אַחֵר).” Since Leah didn’t ask for additional
children, therefore, (וַתַּעֲמֹד,
מִלֶּדֶת). It is a Davar
Peleh, as she hadn’t requested additional children by Reuvein, Shimon or Levi
either?
The answer is, all Hoida’ah
has to have in it a Davar Shel Bakashah as well. Something which at first
glance is illogical. Normally when you thank someone, you generally don’t say
thank you, give me more. When we talk about the Siddur, you see that every
Hoida’ah has in it a Davar Shel Bakashah Al Ha’asid. In Hallel, we say Ono
Hashem Hoishia Na, Ono Hashem Hatzlicha Na. It is not just a Posuk in Hallel,
it seems to be the most significant Posuk in Hallel. In the Beis Hamikdash,
they circled the Mizbayach, during the recitation of this Posuk. What is Ono
Hashem Hoishia Na doing in Hallel? It would seem that Hoida’ah always needs to
have a Bakashah Al Ha’asid as well. In Nishmas, where it says Ad Heina Azarunu
Rachamecha V’loi Azavunu Chasodecha. Then we say Al Titsheinu Hashem Elokeinu
Lanetzach which is a Bakashah Al Ha’asid. Moidim D’rabanan starts with praise
and ends with a Bakashah. We say a Moidim at a Siyum Mesechta.
In Mizmor L’soidah as well we
see this concept. Toidah is Hoida’ah which is what it is all about. Yet we end,
Ki Toiv Hashem L’oilam Chasdoi V’ad Dor V’doir Emunasoi. We ask Hakadoish
Baruch Hu to continue in the future. Most significant of all, in Shemoneh
Esrei, we say Moidim and then Sim Shaloim. What is Sim Shaloim doing here; we
know that there is no Bakashois in the first and last three B’rachois in
Shemoneh Esrei?
Sim Shaloim is most probably
the most all encompassing Bakashah of the whole davening. Uchsoiv L’chaim
Toivim is in the Hoida’ah section of Shemoneh Esrei. Shir Hama’alois said by
some congregations during the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah, is recited during the
Hoida’ah section of Davening, Pesukei D’zimreh. By Birchas Hagoimel, we respond
Mi Shegemolchoi Kol Toiv Hu Yegomolchoi Kol Toiv Selah. We repeatedly see this
concept that whenever there is a Hoida’ah there is always a Bakashah Al
Ha’asid. Why is it that one always follows the other?
We find in Nefesh Hachaim,
the Yesoid that we Daven is in order that we have everything as tools to serve
the Ribboinoi Shel Oilam. Otherwise it is a Chutzpah. We ask for so many things
because we look at them as tools to serve Hakadoish Baruch Hu. If that is the
way Tefillah is supposed to be, that it is a Tefillah Bakashah to serve Hashem,
then it is very Geshmak, that every Hoida’ah has a Bakashah. Hoida’ah is we are
praising Hakadoish Baruch Hu. The reason is, once we are Davening for things in
order to serve Hashem better, it is not a contradiction. It is not lacking in
Derech Eretz, this is the way it is supposed to be. So we find that always is a
Hoida’ah followed by a Bakashah Al Ha’asid. There is a M’koir for this by
Bikkurim as well.
Someone who looks at the Mitzvah
Bikkurim in the Rambam, Siman Kuf Lamed Beis (132), the wording is that the
B’rachah should continue. The Chinuch has a similar Lashoin in Parshah Ki
Savoi. In the Parshas Bikkurim, it doesn’t say a word regarding Bakashah Al
Ha’sid, so it is a Peleh that we have to do this. It seems that it is
understood. The Torah says, a person must give Hoida’ah, and Hoida’ah must have
a Bakashah Al Ha’asid. For example, Hoidu Lashem Ki Toiv Ki L’oilam Chasdoi. That
the Chesed should continue.
