We continue in our mini series of the 30 pesukim of our Rosh Hashanah Musaf prayers. Pasuk number 3 of the Malchuyot is Devarim 33,5. וַיְהִ֥י בִישֻׁר֖וּן מֶ֑לֶךְ בְּהִתְאַסֵּף֙ רָ֣אשֵׁי עָ֔ם יַ֖חַד שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ God is King amongst Yeshurun, (which refers to Jewish people). When the leaders gather together, Shivteh Israel. They all gathered together, says the Ramban, and accepted upon themselves the yoke of God's kingdom. The Rishonim say this happened at Har Sinai, when we gathered together at Matan Torah and it says, and the Shivteh Yisrael were all together, and they all accepted Hashem's Kingdom upon them. So this is one of the times that we accepted God's Kingdom, and therefore this is discussed in our Malchuyot . The first Pasuk, Hashem Yimloch L'Olam Va'ed, happened at the revelation at the splitting of the sea, where we accepted Hashem as our King- Ze Eli V'Anvehu this is my God, Hashem Yimloch L'Olam Va'ed the revelation of the splitting of the sea. And another time, which is today's topic, was the revelation at Har Sinai. As we should have said back in Hashem Yimloch L'Olam Va'ed , it's very helpful when saying the pasuk , to remember the context and realize the clarity that they had then at the splitting of the sea. When you say the pasuk, you should imagine the splitting of the sea, as the enemies were drowning and we are walking through and seeing God in full control and we say God is king . Similarly, here we have to focus on the revelation of Har Sinai. The Seforno says that it's a general rule (not just at Har Sinai) that anytime the Jewish people come together, it brings the Shechinah down. In Bamidbar 7,3, where it talks about how the twelve tribes gave six caravans, he asks why six caravans? Why didn't the twelve tribes give twelve caravans? The Seforno says it's because they wanted to show a sign that they had brotherhood and partnership and were deserving of the Shechinah to come upon them as they were building the mishkan. And he quotes our pasuk וַיְהִ֥י בִישֻׁר֖וּן מֶ֑לֶך When is God king? When we're together, and the opposite when they separate themselves. So when you're saying this pasuk, think that it's not enough to just say Hashem is King. In order for God's Shechinah to come down upon us, we need to be united. The Gaon of Vilna says here that there were different times that we accepted Hashem as King, as we discussed (one of them was at the sea, and our pasuk is discussing Har Sinai ) and that's why it says the word yahad When did this happen? In Shemot 19,7, where it says וַיַּעֲנ֨וּ כׇל־הָעָ֤ם יַחְדָּו֙ / Everyone answered together, and again in Shemot 24,3 כׇּל־הָעָ֜ם ק֤וֹל אֶחָד֙ / They all answered in one voice There it says, Moshe wrote this down. He built a Mizbe'ach with twelve altars, לִשְׁנֵ֥ים עָשָׂ֖ר שִׁבְטֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ . That's the Shivtei Yisrael , when we gather together. Yahad Shivtei Yisrael . So the time of the Shivteh Israel joined together was at that time, at Har Sinai, where it clearly says Shivteh Israel. And they answered with one voice. And that is the power of the Jewish people together. There's a Midrash that says that God's Kingdom is like a palace that's built on two boats. As long as the boats are together, the palace will stand. If the boats are separated, the palace will fall. That is, so to say, the power of the unity of the Jewish people when we come together in our Avodat Hashem. And that's the focus on Rosh Hashanah in general. It's all about the Jewish people joining together. That's a fundamental point in our Rosh Hashanah. There's a famous letter that the Elder of Kelm wrote and put on the front door of the Yeshiva during Elul- Just like in a physical army, there's only success when the troops are united, so too, we have to be united together as the troops in the army of Hashem in order to see success. Bezrat Hashem, we will get there.
