Humans v Angels

Hi,

"Israel is more beloved before Gd than the ministering malachim, for Israel sings to Gd always, and the ministering malachim only sing daily, some say weekly, some say monthly, some say annually, some say once every seven years, some say once every Jubilee, some say once in eternity.

"Also, Israel mentions Gd's Name after only two words, as in, Shema Yisrael HaShem, and the ministering malachim after three words, Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh HaShem Tzevakot. Also, ministering malachim cannot sing in heaven until Israel sings below, as it is written, 'When the morning stars [ie the Jews] sing together… And the bnei Elokim trumpet.'"

(Talmud, Chullin 91b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
