We learn this from Moshe Rabbeinu who commenced his prayer with words of praise, saying (Deuteronomy 3:24), \u201cHashem, God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand. What force is there in heaven or earth that can perform deeds and mighty acts as You do?\u201d Only afterwards did Moshe plead, \u201cPlease let me cross [the Jordan] so that I may see the good land\u2026\u201d Based on this, Rav Simlai interprets, \u201cA person should always praise Hashem first and afterwards pray\u201d (<i>Berachot<\/i> 32a). This is the order of the <i>berachot<\/i> in the <i>Amidah<\/i>. The first three <i>berachot<\/i> open with words of praise and only later continue to the <i>berachot<\/i> detailing our requests. Even in the rest of the prayer service it is proper to begin in this fashion; therefore the <i>Chachamim<\/i> established the recital of <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, words of praise and exaltation of Hashem. The <i>Chachamim<\/i> instituted opening <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> with <i>Birkat<\/i> <i>Baruch She\u2019amar<\/i> and ending it with <i>Birkat<\/i> <i>Yishtabach<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>During the time of the <i>Tanna\u2019im<\/i>, the recital of <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> was considered to be an extra pious act praised by the <i>Chachamim<\/i>. As time went on, however, the <i>minhag<\/i> spread until it became an obligatory custom, and now all of Israel commence their prayers with <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah.<\/i><sup><a id=\"_te02ftnref14_1\" class=\"aup1\" href=\"#_te02ftn14_1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p>By reciting <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, a person reflects upon the magnitude of the Creator, and thus when he subsequently prays, he knows before Whom he stands. Otherwise, he might come to request his needs like idol worshipers, whose whole aim is to achieve personal success in their lowly matters, and who are not interested at all in devoting themselves to Hashem, the Source of Life. However, a person who purifies his heart by meditating on the greatness of Hashem knows how to pray. Even when requesting health and livelihood, he does so in order to devote himself to Hashem\u2019s Torah and to rectify the world under the Almighty\u2019s sovereignty. In this spirit, his prayers will be accepted (see <i>Olat Ra\u2019aya<\/i> part 1, p.14).<\/p>\n<p>The name \u201c<i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>\u201d means \u201cverses of songs of praise.\u201d Additionally, it derives from the phrase \u201c<i>zemirat hakerem<\/i>\u201d (the pruning of a vineyard). Just like one who prunes his vineyard cuts off the extra branches in order to increase the growth of the vines and thus produce better fruit in the future &#8211; by saying <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> we destroy our flawed thoughts and negative feelings, so that our prayers will ascend upward and be accepted. This process of mental and emotional purification inspires us to joyous song; therefore these passages are called \u201c<i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah.&#8221;<\/i><sup><a id=\"_te02ftnref14_2\" class=\"aup1\" href=\"#_te02ftn14_2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<div>\n<p><a id=\"_te02ftn14_1\" href=\"#_te02ftnref14_1\">[1]<\/a>.<i>Berachot<\/i> 4b states, \u201cWhoever recites <i>Tehillah L\u2019David<\/i> (<i>Ashrei<\/i>) three times daily is promised life in the World to Come,\u201d and <i>Shabbat<\/i> 118b adds, \u201cRabbi Yossi says, \u2018May my portion be among those who complete the <i>Hallel<\/i> (meaning <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>) every day.\u2019\u201d From these words it can be inferred that the <i>Chachamim<\/i> did not institute the recital of <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>; rather, it is an extra pious act that all of Israel practiced, and consequently became an obligatory custom. As the <i>Rasag<\/i> writes in his <i>siddur<\/i> (<i>Mekitzei Nirdamim<\/i> publishers, p. 32), \u201cOur nation has volunteered to recite a number of Psalms praising <i>HaKadosh Baruch Hu<\/i> \u2013 with two<i> berachot<\/i> before and after them&#8230;\u201d Additionally, in the words of the <i>Rambam<\/i> (<i>Tefillah<\/i> 7:12), \u201cThe <i>Chachamim<\/i> praise a person who recites songs from Psalms each and every day, from <i>Tehillah L\u2019David<\/i> until the end of the book. It is already customary to recite verses [of Scripture] before and after them, and a <i>berachah<\/i> was instituted for recital before the Psalms \u2026 and a <i>berachah<\/i> after them.\u201d The wording of these <i>berachot<\/i> is first mentioned in <i>Seder<\/i> <i>Rav Amram Gaon<\/i>, and some conclude that these <i>berachot<\/i> were instituted during the period of the <i>Geonim<\/i>. (There are even <i>poskim<\/i> who maintain that, halachically, <i>Baruch<\/i> <i>She\u2019amar<\/i> and <i>Yishtabach<\/i> are less important than the rest of the <i>berachot<\/i>, as brought by the <i>Bei\u2019ur Halachah<\/i> 51:2 s.v. \u201c<i>Im<\/i>\u201d). However, <i>Tola\u2019at Yaakov<\/i> writes in the name of <i>Or Zarua<\/i> that <i>Anshei Knesset HaGedolah<\/i> instituted the wording of <i>Baruch She\u2019amar<\/i> from a note that fell from Heaven. Many <i>Acharonim<\/i> write this, too, as brought by the <i>Mishnah Berurah<\/i> 51:1. The <i>Mishkenot Yaakov<\/i> writes that the <i>berachot<\/i> were composed during the period of the <i>Tanna\u2019im<\/i> and therefore it is forbidden to skip them. Some maintain that Rabbi Yishmael instituted them, as written in <i>Sefer Likutei Maharich<\/i> (see <i>Makor HaTefillot<\/i> p. 13). Although Rabbi Simlai learns (in <i>Berachot<\/i> 32a) from Moshe Rabbeinu\u2019s prayer that a person must begin praying with words of praise, <i>Rashi<\/i> in <i>Avodah Zara<\/i> 7b interprets this to mean that we must begin the <i>Shemoneh Esrei<\/i> with three initial <i>berachot<\/i> of praise. So writes the <i>Rambam<\/i> chapter 1, <i>halachot<\/i> 2 and 4. If so, there is no biblical basis for <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, rather its recital is an extra pious act.<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p>However, it is implied from the <i>Rif<\/i> (<i>Berachot<\/i> 23a), <i>Rosh<\/i> (<i>Berachot<\/i>, chapter 5, 4-6) and <i>Tur<\/i> that <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> were instituted in order to start the prayer service with words of praise. The <i>Bach<\/i>,<i> Orach Chaim <\/i>51 explains that the <i>Chachamim<\/i> instituted <i>berachot<\/i> for <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> based on Rabbi Simlai\u2019s extrapolation from the verses. He reasons that although they did not obligate the recital of <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, if there was no certain teaching from the Torah that this was the order of prayer, they would not have instituted the recital of <i>berachot<\/i> for them.<\/p>\n<p>See note 9 further in this chapter which states that according to <i>Rav Natrunai<\/i> and the <i>Rashba<\/i>, if one did not recite <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> before the <i>Amidah<\/i>, he may not recite them after it, for their whole purpose is to prepare a person for prayer. However, according to <i>Talmidei Rabbeinu Yonah<\/i> and the <i>Rosh<\/i>, one may make them up after the <i>Amidah<\/i>, including the <i>berachot<\/i>. It must be explained in their opinion, that even though they were instituted before the <i>Amidah<\/i>, nevertheless, <i>b\u2019dieved<\/i>, they still possess value even after the <i>Amidah<\/i>, for their main purpose is to praise Hashem and not necessarily to serve as preparation for prayer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><a id=\"_te02ftn14_2\" href=\"#_te02ftnref14_2\">[2]<\/a>.\u00a0See <i>Ein Ayah Berachot<\/i> 32a, s.v. \u201cRabbi Simlai extrapolates.\u201d The <i>Abudraham<\/i> writes that <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> are \u201clike defenders of prayer.\u201d In <i>Menorat HaMaor<\/i> it is explained that the name <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> comes from the words \u201c<i>zemirat hakerem<\/i>,\u201d meaning the pruning of a vineyard. The <i>Tur<\/i>, <i>Orach Chaim<\/i> 93, based on the <i>Gemara<\/i> writes, \u201cOne must not approach prayer\u2026unless it is out of happiness,\u201d and therefore it was customary to recite <i>Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, \u201cIn order to approach prayer out of the happiness surrounding the mitzvah of being engaged in Torah.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The appropriate sequence of prayer is to begin by praising Hashem and only afterwards to approach Him with our requests.
