Description
Chazal say that the shira of yam suf and the songs throughout history are feminine songs. The song le'atid lavo will not be a shira, but a shir. The feminine song is followed by other adversity with necessitates further salvations and songs after, the song at the end of days will be the ultimate and final song, a masculine song that will not "be molid" further songs. The Chasam Sofer connects this to Hashem's name Ekyeh asher Ekyeh. Rebbe Nosson of Breslov says that on shabbos we get a taste of the shir of le'asid lavo. Our main focus was a teaching brought by the Kedushas Levi that the masculine song is a song that is not responsive, rather instigates from pure love and not dependent upon receiving anything. The truest joy a Jew is meant to have is the joy of bringing joy to Hashem. One must believe that they can and are meant to bring Hashem joy. One cannot be humble in this area, that is borderline heresy. The Maggid of Mezritch taught we have to happy in the fact we can make Hashem happy! This is the masculine song. Teachings from the Baal HaTanya and Tiferes Shlomo as well.
