Sefiras Haomer-Making It Count

welcome back everybody we are back sorry about last week I try I try it's not always so easy but uh we are back now this week's topic is s making it count taking advantage of the days of s that's what we're going to talk about um if you're watching this you could see that we're outside again bar if you're listening to this I hope you don't hear Too much background noise but we're going to try our best we'll try our best to get through this so in the sidash this is a that brings down all the cavanas for daving according to Thea the various cavanas to various alignments you're supposed to have by the different it says that during theas of the of the of the days of and the of the Y specifically Thea you're supposed to have different cavanos than you have the rest of the year and the reason is it says in the S is that the whole entire year the the comes down from Shay d by drip but in the and in Thea it says the windows in heaven are wide open it's wide open the could come pouring down the come pouring down from sh during these days therefore we have to have different kavas than we would have the rest of the year when we're DAV the obvious question is what's the connection between the days of SP the days that we're counting the SP and Thea so let's talk for a moment what we're doing by SP arm obviously we're counting the armor we're counting each day day one of the armor day two of the armor going all the way to day 50 when we got the tra when shuis we got the T from Hari but the interesting thing is typically when we're counting toward something we count down we have 49 days left 48 days left 47 days left but over here it's the opposite we're counting up we're saying today is one day today is two days today is three days of om four days of om and so on and so forth why are we counting up as opposed to counting down in he explains he says there's two times you could be counting towards something you could be counting toward something where each day that's going by is just the purpose of that day is just to get you one more day closer to the goal he says for example somebody says in 50 days from now I'm going to give you a million dollars so then you start counting down I have 50 days till I get that million dollar 49 days I get that million doll 48 days till I get that million because each day that goes by has no significance except for the fact that it's getting us one day closer to the million dollars that we want to get on day 50 he says however if somebody would tell you I'm going to give you a million dollars every single day for the next 50 days I'm going to give you $20,000 a day until the end of 50 days you're going to have $1 million so then each day that goes by is not just to get the 50 days each day that goes by has itself a significance that you're accumulating $20,000 that day so today I'm getting $20,000 tomorrow is two days it's $40,000 3 days $60,000 and so on and so forth says Pinkus the reason why in SPH we count up instead of counting down the way we typically would when we're counting towards something is because we're not just counting towards a goal of getting to Matra of getting to when we had sh and Har we're counting up there's something we're supposed to be accomplishing every single day of sphere every day of sphere that goes by is supposed to have significance besides for the fact that it's one day closer to Shu so the question is what are we doing each day of what are we actually accomplishing each day of so they say over from the he lived in the 1800s he one of the former he says that each day it's a good thing to work on one of the me the six par brings down that there's 48 ways to acquire Thea he says on each day you can work on one of the ways of acquiring the Tera those that are more oriented cab oriented and more esoteric schools of thought you'll see that in the SP each week our response at different one of the Spas you have the week of gura the week of H the week of and so on and so forth and each one of the seven days within the week also correspond to one of the spherus and the ideas were supposed to rectify and work on doing chuva and strength strengthening the various Midas attributed to those spas on a more basic level we know that what happened during SP if you look around it's not just the joyous time that we're counting down towards har towards Kabal and shuis but a lot of us are actually rocking SP beards and the reason is they were also in mning what happened tells us had 12,000 peers of 24,000 and all of them died during these days of were mourning the loss of tah that happened during the days of but why they die the says they weren't cover to one another didn't respect one another so now is also a good time to work onus respecting other people but regard regardless is one common denominator regardless of what it is that a person is going to choose to work on during the day of the common denominator is that we should be working on something we shouldn't at the end of on sh look back over our shoulders at the days of and the only thing we accomplished was if we're lucky we can counted the whole SP with a braa we should be able to look back at something and say there was something that we took on during the days of I went through the 49 days of I came to sh and I'm accomplished there's something that I took on that I wasn't doing previously that now I am doing that now I'm coming to sh with this thing that I've been working on this whole time now we can understand what the connection is betweena and the days of the connection now seems rather obvious these are two periods of time during the year that we're actually working on something every single day there's actually a certain significance to what we're doing every single day we're taking something Ona to try to get B sh and Kipper as different people we're taking something on during the days of SP and you know what happens when we take something on when we say we're going to work on something and we're going to take something small something small you never want to shoot too big but you take on something small and you say I'm coming to the endosphere I'm coming to Shu with this thing that I've been working on this whole time says aash the gates in sh the windows in heaven are wide open it's a time for sh to come down from the shami and pouring down from the sh a time that could really capitalize on our doing our ding during the days of coupled with taking something on should not be the same as our daving the rest of the year it's an opportunity just want to mention also once we're talking about counting and we're talking about today there's another count that's happening a very tragic count another group of people that's also counting the days and these are our brothers and sisters in captivity in Gaza and the that unfortunately the death count has been ticking upwards two tragic counts that are going on now is also a time we talked about working on a Isel that we could D in and care for our brothers 6,000 miles away in AR Isel and the fellow hostages and ask that they should have the G they should be released from captivity now during this time when the gates of Shay are wide open let's try to live a little higher and let's not let these days of SP passes by let's try to take something on something small that could carry us not through the just the end of SP to but then when it comes to when it comes we could say this thing this little thing that I took on I'm a changed person this is not just a 10day spel this wasn't just a 50-day SP I took this on SP and this has been going on for the past four months from S Thomas of and now Tish I've taken on this thing and I'm rocking this thing that I took on and I'm coming to you as a different person let's try to live a little higher remember that the window in sh is wide open right now we could tap into the shef but we have to be intentional about it
