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
