This past week, those holy Jews who are learning Daf Yomi, reached the famous Gemora on Shabbos 119b which states “Whoever says ‘Amen Yehei Shmei Rabba…’ with all his might will cause evil decrees against him to be torn up.”

It is explained that “when a Jew’s soul becomes filled with one yearning – that the Name of Hashem be sanctified everywhere – then evil decrees against him will be torn up.  For at that moment, Heaven does not judge him in accordance with his personal deeds, but in accordance with his goal in life.  Therefore, even if on a personal level he is deserving of punishment, the judgment against him will be entirely different when his declaration of ‘Yehei Shmei Rabba…’ is taken into account.” ~ Shiurei Daas [L’Maharil Bloch], part II)
