In the Shlah HaKadosh’s prayer for finding a mate, he states that we pray that our match should come, “b’ito u’vzmano”. What is the difference between the two words, ase and zman?
Our Answer:
See Koheles (3:1). “There is a time for everything, and a time for everything wanted under the sun”. This is the source for the usage of these two words.
The word “zman” means set allotted time. The word “ase” comes from the word, “atah, now”. It refers to an earlier time. Hence, this is hinted on the verse itself which says that there is an “ase lchol chaifetz”. It stresses that the word “ase” refers to something that is desired and longed for. Everyone wants good things as fast as possible. May Hashem answer all of us!
