Thank You Hashem, Dovy Meisels & Motty Steinmetz

This Pasuk “Min HaMetzar” reminds us then even when we feel stuck in a small place, we should ask Hashem to deliver big things for us. We recite this passuk before blowing the shofar because the shofar’s cry represents our innermost self—the purest part of us that yearns to connect and return to Hashem. Like the shofar, this voice sometimes emerges from a narrow, place, and we ask Hashem to allow it to resonate in a broad, open space, symbolizing clarity and expansiveness of mind. When words fall short, the shofar becomes our voice, expressing what we cannot put into words—the deep desire to draw close and return to our Source.
