Buying Etrogim for Sukkot 🍋 🌿

so a person needs to know that if you're going to ask someone they're gonna tell you what is the truth if you're gonna ask somebody that they have you got money Their Fear of money fear of popularity fear of being right all the time fear of missing out fear of a lot of other things but not fear of heaven then certainly you're asking the wrong place so never make a transaction when it comes to Torah Meets World and stakon things of that nature when it comes to because of money it has to be because of who you ask and that person has to have you got your mind so now a person made this meets without feeling or perhaps he made a Mitzvah buying in a trog now you would think well I bought on a truck what's the problem buying a dog I can tell you from personal experience I believe in living in Florida for I think now eight nine years eight nine years I've been living in Florida I've paid as much as 500 foreign I simply say give me the best you possibly have whatever it costs if I have the money I'll pay for it follow the money then you know I have to figure out what to do go get the money work more I don't know do something and pray to Hashem for Hashem to to give me a miracle to get the money but nonetheless the price is insignificant quality is most more important to me so I've had it's all game from different places here in Florida for the last eight years different people eight years every single year lately I've been buying multiple little game because of this issue every year most of the game that I have are lemons they're not really it's okay and one time last year not this past year the year before one young guy advertised that he's selling the best Etro game in the world and the planet and you know they came from Mars or something wherever they came 500 special class special day special that no problem give me I bought two not because I have extra money to waste simply because in case something happens you have kids it falls or breaks whatever it is got these two by a miracle mamasha Miracle Hashem had mercy on me because this is what like one of them that's like my favorite Mitzvah I love Sukkot and detrag is like my favorite thing I don't know why since the beginning it's always been special to me I remember I think I told you guys the story years ago when uh first started out I lost everything and I had one you know last bit of money left I think it was like six seven hundred dollars and it was Sukkot I went to buy trogim for my family and I was gonna buy for myself and I bought a 600 talk pretty much gave all of the money that I had left on this one that's the most beautiful talk in the world it was miraculous it lasted for a couple of years a story of itself nonetheless every year I tried to do whatever I can to get the best possible to talk Mama's a miracle that year I didn't know where I was gonna get the drug this guy popped up I bought two-way talking from him a thousand bucks for a tour game and then of course I bought for for for my kids also cheaper ones and we have a tokim by a miracle last minute mamas the day before the khagoda day of like the evening one of my uh dear students from Canada sends me the deals with a togin from Morocco sends me in a drug and it actually reaches last minute so so of course you have this a drug it's a gift it was beautiful I'm gonna use this one yeah but what about the thousand dollars you just spent on these other two thousand thousand whatever it's gonna let it give him upon us up what do I care foreign you know what happened at the end of Sukkot I opened it again the 500 little game both of them are lemons meaning I could have been going uh I have 11. what happened that's what they sell some person can do whatever they want to do they're going to be tested they're gonna be tested you're gonna be tested how do you help yourself when all these things can happen sacrifice everything for the sake of the Mitzvah show Hashem you love the Mitzvah and Hashem will protect you from it just like the story that I just told you if it wasn't for that miraculous a talk that I got last minute I wouldn't have fulfilled any damage bar for the whole holiday so this rabatai is what the khazonish is telling us here you bought three mean satisfying all the strict requirements you burn the truck satisfying the perfect looks perfectly kosher all of a sudden you discover there's a little black dot oh there's apostolate there's an apostolate is it still okay is it on the upper uh uh uh section of their throg therefore cancels it or is it really in the middle it's not a really big deal does it take away from that dog do you even all the laws or it's just like listen it's in a drug I bought the 50 bucks what's the big deal if you're one of those people what's the big deal let me just get the cheapest thing you have then surely you are clueless at how few meets what you actually end up keeping because most of the time if you don't know the law you're not able to observe the law or a person who's saying listen I just bought a TT nice TT ordered from everything ordered it from here orderly from there but then all of a sudden it arrives wait a minute what did I order from I ordered from some company wait is this even a Jewish company oh Diamond Jewish company so how how could I be short wait if it's not a Jewish company who made this tit so if they made it and it's not a Jewish company and even though this and even though that yeah but you're supposed to have the the cover now when you put in the tits oh oh all of a sudden you have all these doubts the more you know about the law the more questions you're gonna have like some people they go to all types of places Judaica stores they buy whatever they buy this they buy that and then they leave the store and wait a minute hold on a second the guy that owns a store that sold me all these different things I just saw him driving on Shabbat should I just I still what yeah you're gonna have a bunch of holy things from a person to drive around Shabbat so these are the things that happen says the khazonish so what is this all what does this all have to do with the uh with with the midot what is this this is the law what does it have to do with the character traits he says in such a case a person that has to wage a war on his bad trades on his bad traits why does he have to wage you want his bad treats sometimes the trait of laziness when he's already overly tired sometimes it's connected with being shamed before other people sometimes he stands to suffer monetary loss and sometimes his family members are gonna tease him and so on there could be thousands of such difficulties and in general for a person who is being particular about Mitzvah observance the main challenge instead is is in standing alone and he needs courage not to be swayed by his environment the ghazoni sums it all up and tells us the following the tests are coming in fact the more knowledgeable you become about Torah the more you're gonna have different tests and it's only your character development and your Perfection of your character traits that's going to help you overcome those tests why because you spend a thousand dollars on a network you spend 500 on this you spend x amount on that you bought this from this place but now you know you have to return it are you gonna be lazy or cheap and not do it if you're still lazy if you're still stingy if you're still arrogant and know it all then you're not gonna pass the test against ah no it's no big deal and you're gonna keep the battle trog you're gonna keep the bad feeling you're gonna keep this and You're Gonna Keep Then You're Gonna Keep the sins in your hand and know them this is the reason why the kazoni started the section by saying that this is why fixing the mid dot is needed in order to keep Allah and keeping Allah is needed in order to fix the midot because if you fix Jeremy dot when the test comes from observing the Allah now you know more that's stronger character trait will allow you to pass the test and observe that Allah despite the test despite tiredness laziness stinginess arrogance and whatever other flawed character trait you add before you fixed it on the other hand if it wasn't for that Allah you wouldn't know that you actually fixed that character trait because you can say wait I used to be lazy but I'm not lazy anymore how do you know I used to be arrogant but I'm not arrogant anymore how do you know I used to be uh stingy I used to be this but I'm not anymore how do you know oh you don't know until you get tested and what's the best place to be tested with the meats with himself with the meat spot themselves over time foreign
