not only that we're in a wash colors but
were in one of the most powerful months
of the year the month of kislev
all the months are great
but when a month holding it a certain
energy
and we see in the past that there was a
miracle such as Hanukkah when we were
threatened with Annihilation and very
few were able to overcome a massive Army
then that's so much more so when it
comes to the power of the month
foreign really the term technically
should have been the beginning of the
month but it's called
the head of the month
why because the head includes in it
everything
which means that whatever holds in the
head of the mountain will apply for the
entire month
kind of like the spiritual DNA of the
month is set in this
so this day today is not a regular Wash
College it's one of the most powerful
days of the year
that our holy books explain that this
month
has the power
similar to Yom Kippur
to the day of atonement
and where do we learn that from because
there are 40 days from
Yom Kippur that we can do chuva it's a
time to to repent and then comes
and we can achieve atonement
we do know that after Yom Kippur there
comes
we can still Squeeze In by then another
few more mitzvot and maybe sweeten the
judgment
but if you count from ushana rabba
another 40 days then it falls on Russia
it's our great sages explained that
has in it the same power of Yom Kippur
to achieve forgiveness and atonement
I have explained that
is full of Mercy
is not looking to punish he's not
looking to hurt he's not looking to to
anything negative on the contrary
because full of mercy and compassion
but there are different levels of Mercy
that we can activate
to bestowon us from the master of the
universe one of them is called
father of Mercy which we recite that
many times but there's another level
that comes from a much higher place that
is called
it's a single is many many Mercy
today and the entire month we have the
opportunity to reach to such a high
level
of Mercy from the kailash
that if you're looking at the word
kislev the name of the month
if you write out the letters not cuffs
rather you take the letters and you
write them calf is Cafe and then summer
you write and so forth this is called
when you fill in the letters not just
the letters if you write
then you will get to the numerical value
of 306.
which is the same numerical value of the
words
is the highest of all levels that we can
reach to have the master of the universe
shed his Mercy on us
so not only that it's shining this great
shine it shines for the entire month
but in order to receive something from
the kadosh has to be something to come
from our side
as we learned yesterday in the Zohar
about the parashah that Yakov sorry
prayed on behalf of his wife because she
couldn't get pregnant for 20 years
ship rate within 20 years and her
parents didn't didn't work apparently it
worked to get all the rest of the barren
women's in the in the generation to get
pregnant but for her it didn't work then
yaakov said stepped in and when he
prayed then her prayers the prayers were
answered and she received the child and
we went in length in the result class
explaining why and how but what is this
all concluded that before it's prayed he
came with an offering why so the prayer
should be accepted
so now we're entering into a month of
Mercy then we want to so to say I'm
using this word but to activate this
this Mercy this power of of a compassion
to bestow on us then we have to do
something
we have nobody to count on but our
father in Heavens that's always our
sages explain interacted that's the
situation the Reformation is going to
come it's going to become so difficult
that the only one we can trust is the
master of the universe so we're going to
be celebrating in three and a half weeks
one of the most wonderful holidays in
our calendar and the the majority of
people think that the miracle was the
fact that they found a picture of oil
which that's a great miracle but the
real miracle was the victory of the war
that a few old men and they were old men
there were priests in the in the beta
mcdash they went out to fight a mighty
Army and when they finalized the war
when they finished the war that when it
was the 25th day of Kiss Live
that's why it's called
stopped when in Cafe of kisler that's
when the war stopped that's when the
miracle happened so we also have a a war
right now it might not be yet where the
with a physical War but we are in a war
whether the war is with me and my yet
sir whether the war is with me
and all the The Temptations around me
but there is a war and for us to win a
war that we need the mercy of like to
step in so now we have the opportunity
to to enter this month of Mercy
but we have to give something the same
way that itra gave an offering then we
also have to give a sacrifice
still is not over and you should take a
few moments I told you that this morning
too I'm just standing again for the new
faces here and for the audience online
to take a few moments five minutes 10
minutes 20 minutes to make a quick uh
analysis where am I holding what can I
add in the next month that will be my
sacrifice and of course I'm not telling
you to bring a goat something in that
form but adding into one mitzvot adding
another half an hour a day an hour day
of learning Torah focusing more on your
on your attributes and your middle what
can I do to do some acts of kindness but
we have to come and offer the
kadoshburgo something
that it has to be done in a majority not
one person saying okay I'll read another
two chapters of the elim
so therefore what we need to take is
first of all acknowledge the fact that
what month are we entering in the months
of of
potential miracle that is beyond nature
but we have to do something that is also
beyond our nature and not to go crazy
because then it would last for three
days something within your ability and
your means but you have to understand
that each and every one of us has a
responsibility and we have to con
contribute our part to the to to the
miracle that we want to see
so I highly recommend I actually already
requesting
personally that each person should take
a moment to think okay what can I do
beyond what I'm doing right now and it
can be something as small as just adding
The Meta chapter of dealing or something
big whatever you can handle but as a
whole as a majority and as a community
as a nation if each and every one of us
pitches in then we have a pretty big
sacrifice to put on the spiritual altar
to activate this in the month of Mercy
we will experience also a miracle about
nature and without Hashem that the
victory that we see against evil should
be in a very revealed way and needless
to say in the war as lord always
casualties in the war with there wasn't
casualties without Hashem that our war
with evil should be with no casualties
and we should be Victorious and gain
exactly what they did is to light up the
menorah in beta mikdash in a miraculous
way maybe it is
only three and a half weeks from now you
know what you can do you can do a lot a
lot of good things some Hashem bless us
with the sweets and and Prospects
healthy
months see these miracles in a very
revealed way and we should see the
coming of mashiach in a sweet and nice
way not to be in any type of negative
way
