Good — For Us

Veotzarcho Hatov


Open the gates of heaven, open for us Your good treasure.

The previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Josef Isaac Schneersohn asks, “From G-d emanates only good and all that He does is for our good, so why the emphasis ‘Your good treasure?’ ”

The punctuation in the prayer needs adjustment. The comma in the statement has to be moved and placed after the word “for us.” Since man does not know what is really good for him, we implore G-d that, “The treasure which is good for us You should open.”
