CHAZAQ's Torah Talks #92 Rabbi Heshy Kleinman - Praying with Fire

[Music] foreign Tuesday night program with special guests tonight we have with us Rabbi heshi climbing Shawn Michael Rabbi how are you doing Baruch Hashem how are you thank you asham it's an honor and privilege to have you on the program we really appreciate the ride by his time and uh tonight we're going to be speaking about praying with fire which is a book that the rabbi system has published and before we begin we have a custom I mean Hagen tour talks uh the rabbi if you just give our audience a little bit more of a background about yourself for those that might not know well okay I'm uh I'm a local boy as I say uh born in Brooklyn grew up in Brooklyn still resorting in Brooklyn uh I learned in the mirror Yeshiva for high school and for post High School in the basement and um from there I got into I used to live with the cabrussia in the morning this goes back many years later and we both wanted to um let's just say inspire people to connect with that Fila and after having spoken to some good Island in America and some local Rob Bonham it turns out that uh for one reason or another they at the time said they were unable to be able to Rally people to be able to be inspired so uh I had to take on the uh responsibility uh hoping that we'll have some Seattle and the uh praying with fire which was the first book that I wrote would have an impact and Hashem with the help of my editors and arts grow and as I always tell people uh if nobody would pick up the book and read it I would wind up reading it to myself so with their help you know when an individual wants to connect with that in and of itself is 50 of the battle so all the credit goes to Claudia Israel that they're always looking always willing the sheifa the desire to grow and to get closer to takarus Boku is always there sometimes we just have to kind of you know dig a little to Rouse it up but all the credit uh goes to them and after that uh other books came and Baruch Hashem and we have three little programs running in schools of things that we've created so amazing Rabbi has she climbing amazing very very inspiring so as was mentioned the topic is praying with fire and when it comes to praying when it comes to dominating we're seeing the same philosophers and the prayers in general three times a day many of us the men especially uh and sometimes it could be like you know a robotic experience where you just say the same thing and you don't have kavana you don't have concentration and you're just going with the flow you go to show you do your thing you go out how does one change that rabbit climate okay so first I think it's important to point out the fact that it is something that's difficult and it is difficult for everyone I mean the line starts here every day it's another Nissan it's another battle and it's something that we can overcome that battle who gave us the nisama tahori who gave it to us to be able to connect with him to the holy words of trilah the beer halach says that the Thriller that we say every day was written by the unshak knesset hagdolla these are the people the years ago from the great assembly and they wrote it the words of the bihalaka is they wrote it besides and his God is mighty powerful deep hidden secrets can you imagine if we have in our hands something where they say this is something you can make millions upon millions of dollars you can ensure that you all have help you will be able to be certain bow whose promise that he will bestow blessings upon you your children will be married they will remain on the Derek they'll be wonderful upstanding Jewish Souls going through their alive they will be involved in the unbelievable Pursuits of tremendous spiritual Treasures and we have that in our hands all we need to do is to connect with our goddess baraku now if we would visualize that and perhaps before that step if we would feel it in our heart can you imagine what a person would say and this is remarkable what that's something you know what give me another round give me another dose I want those words put caveat wrote The Thrillers for our benefit when the base of minutes was destroyed in claw Israel went into gallus they kind of lost their way it was a very difficult time imagine you're living in this big beautiful palace and then all of a sudden burned down it's difficult it's to Define your way to find where am I who am I where am I going where am I heading it leads to Bilbo had us a person does not have the man who has nepes it's difficult did us a tremendous favor they said you know what we'll do we're going to convene a meeting and this is again Allah of 120 the ancient connections the men of the great assembly and they said let's pick the winning words the winning words that's like you know the other day I heard that somebody told me you know the lottery was up to like I don't know 960 million dollars and I'm thinking to myself what are the winning numbers one of these other winning words and they wrote it with navua which means when they wrote it they swore our today situations and struggles and issues wow unbelievable and we we have discussed three times wow that's remarkable Rabbi you're climbing powerful words I Feel the Fire from the screens but it's 100 true and we sometimes need physique we need inspiration on the topic so of praying with fire so maybe the rabbit could give us some practical tips of how one could do it yes those words are 100 powerful okay assembly wrote those words they hadn't even they had prophecy yes okay so you know theory is great inspiring words are wonderful yes but you know with the root the shoresh of rochnius is it's ruach when the wind blows you feel it and when it stops blowing you don't even know that the wind was blowing wow so what happens when the inspiration kind of like the windows down now what do I do I'm alone with my sidur and it's me and I got us both now what do I do so I'd like to suggest first of all in the book praying with fire you'll find a whole bunch of strategies because whenever I write something so anything that we create there are two aspects there's the makshaba the theory and then there's the lamison because we are living in Olam Asia we're down here the mistress is something we do and therefore tefila is also something we need to do and once we're doing it let's try to do it maximize the best possible way to do it so here we go suggestion number one and I'm going to try to make it as practical as I possibly can also this does not run the gamut there are additional strategies tips here's the first one visualize in other words right now I see you and you're looking good yeah you inspire me to start to think my mind is percolating the Embers are starting to the flame you like my match and therefore it's easy but what happens what I'm I'm standing alone so number one the Macabre and the Corpus Christ da what does Da mean Dallas it's not just intellectual knowledge when we talk about for example amuna we don't mean the intellectual emune foreign if I may take a moment and make reference to an unbelievable Stifler and bear his Paris passes come on he was a Believer Noah in effect going together wonderful so what do you mean he's a big Tony I'm on it what do you mean he's not such a Believer you know from the little believers so Raj is what does that mean what he's on the fence he's not sure what one moment yes shouts the stapler you know what it means there are two types of immune there's a municipleus an intellectual philosophical let's see aha so for example if I told you pick something up if I told you you know what okay before you pick it up I think that is very very hot you know what you're not going to pick it up but if somebody else comes along and said you know it's not really so hot you can do it then you'll say you know something maybe the first one who told me was so high it's really not so you're gonna start the Hedge back and forth that is but what happens if I tell you that's hot and you pick it up you know how we teach our children and grandchildren when they were young when they picked it up oh oh and somebody comes along and said it's not so hot you know what you ain't picking it up that's who she's no comparison to a motorcycle is so much stronger so much more convincing so much more powerful voice the emotions the feeling the hagasa trumps sheikhil any day of the week so therefore a thou live name me out to omade it's not just this philosophical idea yeah of course the game is great the world it's more than that I Feel It In My Bones it's something I've experienced it's something I know to be true because I'm living it I am living with Hashem foreign that is the most powerful level that a person can strive to reach and when we say that's what we need to begin to try to feel it's not something that happens overnight it's not something that happens in a moment so how does it happen so the answer is I'll use a word that we say in that Fila foreign what does that mean s [Music] the Miracles and it should be for us says he could have done it in the regular way para would have said come on lead get out of my get out of my country come on guys you gotta get out of here foreign and let me ask an even stronger question we know that goddess bar who always wants to minimize miracles isn't that the whole idea of Hest upon him God hides behind that curtain and you know why he does that people say well if I got his mother wants me to be connected with him so come on show me the goods you know why because then we wouldn't have scar we wouldn't get reward everything is so blighted we see the Amy's in front of us of course so the Avista hides so we can get tremendous car but sometimes from time to time Zach when you have something a wonder and it could be something wonderful Hashem she's engaged wow what a great deal wow you know how much I made oh that was great new Mazel tone was it a boy or was it a girl talk about the baby now when you hear great news when you experience something unique it's got to be a zika build and build each individual situation during a person's life are built are there for us to utilize as stepping stones to go from one step to the other step you know who which of the others represents the ladder going up foreign go up one step at a time use every situation I know the table stop it's hidden I can't wait right I don't see the Apes to time out stop what about the good stuff that hits you right in the heart then you say ah gavaldi and even the difficult moments if they're slightly out of the ordinary that is a moment to recognize you want to hear a murderous of course okay here we go government has a son one of his sons is up solemn now you know I've saw them let's just say Dominican of Shalom didn't really always see eye to eye you know what I'm saying so picture this riding on his horse and his long hair gets stuck in the trees and he dies of solemn the son that wants to kill Dominic his father gamara and brochus from that David he's saying a song you should have said a lamentation a dirge can you imagine your son is trying to kill you Sheldon Moreno Domino makes the following husband if it would have been an avid or a mom's uh no then that's bad news ah my son is coming to kill me ah mismo Frank I I'm asking you come on yet what's worse premeditated murder by your son or some evidence some moms who happens to kill you because the guy's a bum so what's the mismar CK ravianus and ivesitskovaldik Asma was as follows if the One chasing me trying to kill me would have been another you know that happened look the guys in heaven the guys are mom said come on guy like that so I don't see the Yara Hashem it's part of nature that's just the way it works they're built that way but a son is not built that way when you see something unusual even if it's a terrible things never but when you see your Hashem this is what we mean when you experience the hushes and you can see clearly this is so unusual so out of the ordinary so mind-boggling this is not it's got to be only God can perpetuate something like this never who who can create a situation on something you can't even see and the whole world is affected education business yeshiva's shuls countries people Airlines offices everything I go on and on I only got ten fingers you know what I mean and let me take it a step further that's why it could be it was something we could not see because the able still wants us to feel you see you can't see me this goes back to Dallas you you can't see me but you couldn't see covet and everything was turned on its head the Amish design can do anything but remember it internalize it feel it live it experience it and without the doll lift name will be different don't try to do too much yakimovina went up one step at a time and let me add to that if you really want to go high the harder you push down the higher you go you started to say and you forgot you how do you read that don't worry don't sweat it it's a step down to make you go higher the next Fila because the hotter you push down the higher you go on the rebound so when you start dominating which is great you saw it in one of the Cabanas in Fila visualize it feel it da means certainty have Clarity they once did a survey of 25 000 managers and they said the number one element to ensure their success is if they have clarity you want to succeed have Clarity be clear you know what happens when we're not clear when we're confused it's like this period you know our mind is this way but we really don't believe it so it's half audit so practical step is dollar Lifting me out to only make use the daily situations in your life that a little bit out of the ordinary to grow and internalize that you are living without can I give you another practical idea please Rabbi that was okay I'll be so practical ready when I sit down to a meal and the way my wife she's a mean cook that's a compliment okay mean cook is a compliment you know what I'm saying I'm sure miss Thomas we've all been there and we've all done that I shouldn't say for anyone but I have I have to assess there's so much good food Hashem I've got to pick the one food that you know what I'm saying man okay do the same thing when a constant feeler you're not going to be able to conquer everything all at once pick a bracha pick a word pick a phrase Hashem call whatever it is okay whatever it is pick something that speaks to you and make that your first encounter with really getting a hold and connecting with your Thriller you know who says that idea the Rambo that rambam says when it comes to mitzvahs the mishna tells us that we have so many missions people say oh he's so many misses you know what that is so many opportunities for gold can you imagine I'm going there and you know what I'll give it an example says I'll give you a message is watch when you see the white of your teeth Rabbi you can do that too that's what I said and somebody smiled it's a gamara can you imagine the ultimate mitzvahila because of the whole world is my mummies so that's why we have so many misses pick a Mitzvah that speaks to you is the rambam and make that your Mitzvah pick a word a phrase a posse a pot a broker a trailer and make that yours and when you become connected to that then pick another and then pick another if we would have the same discussion three to five years from now I bet you everyone in your audience will say man I'm so glad I started that three years ago what a great idea I've got 98 I've got 74 percent I've got 60 whatever the percentage is I guarantee you you will feel so connected to your trailer you want another idea yeah here we go so here we go love it okay our words are very powerful the able to made a bond the breasts a covenant crusa eating great with himself with the lips you know why because our lips represent the clerk of represents the nashama for all those men that put on filling and the trailer before you put on filling I won't tell you where but it's there oops I told you where it was so when we speak that's the difference between Mankind and animal this is you don't have to wait for the feeling in the morning shahras on the afternoon Miracle at night Myra speak take any time you feel you want to speak with them guess what the Avista is listening that's right and he wants to hear from us and not only that you know what this beer how long did I mention that you know what he said at the end of that that if a person can say with Carbone with a loss showing lies his own language go for it not only that the shiburek has where is it I believe from memory I don't eat one of the two I don't remember I apologize he says that in this itself add your own personal feelings in your own language so wait don't you want to say at Fila at the end of every singlishment essay for your wife or your husband for your children for your grandchildren for the hook no every single one you know how I know my grandchildren's names only because I gotta remember them at the end of every smart ashtray don't don't tell my kids I said that what do they want hope they're not watching you know what I'm saying okay well maybe I hope that they are I'm not sure but but you understand what I'm saying well my it's impossible opportune time say it's Fila the feel is that you say even you know you see someone and you say Mazel Tov zygos that's a Baraka it's powerful it's powerful uh you wanna you wanna a person who wants to get used to connecting say it the feel it during the day say the broken to give a brother to someone be well zai goes on Dodge stock foreign [Applause] Hashem is listening to us we could pray anytime it doesn't have to be specific about that will get our mindset focused on the ABC is listening powerful amazing rabbit has she climbing so many powerful gems that we've been hearing so far and I wish this could go on forever but unfortunately we're not able to we have a minaga accustomed by Torah talks which is a final message about praying with fire okay and I Feel the Fire by the way sure two things first of all there is a website H dot org we created that has something called praying with passion praying with passion is a hundred and seventy seven lessons in color which has a story and a halaka and a yes and delving into the meaning of the words in color something called visualize the whole gamut will take you five minutes it's the chakra is divided into a hundred and seventy seven lists wow that is number one it's there for adults we have stuff over there for children that's how schools if your kid bought Hashem over the last 10 11 years we've had over 130 000 students in England and in France and in Belgium and in America that have taken advantage of our material which happens to be the children's material is free f-r-e-e so please okay let me leave you with this sure people come over me and they say one second you mean to tell me who is going to listen to Mike's feel it you know what I've done I ain't gonna tell you they tell me but the Aviston knows so I want to leave you with the walk from I'm giving you the sight because it's worth it to check it out foreign just like a person needs to believe in God I think the biggest Sahara of our generation is I I'm not at Sadiq sure the Bubba and the zader sure my rebbe the Russia the rabbi my mentor my older this my older that me who am I well I never learned in Yeshiva I didn't learn enough I didn't learn the right things I learned the wrong things let me tell you the HR he wrote the book and he's still writing it as we speak more books to convince us that we are not worthy remember the words of the coin because and listen the way he said it with this analogy of course you got to believe in the Avista who wouldn't who wouldn't want to excel to connect to have that who's that feeling to internalize well guess what I don't know I checked the sitter this morning it says the same thing that your sitter said and if I wouldn't have picked up that sitter this morning somebody else would have and they would have said that they're the Summers tahirahi do you think there's on the side where the sidurama is if you've done four our babies do not pick up here it doesn't say that we are all tohar we are all kadice we are all meant to connect and that is why who thought so much of each and every one of us that he gave us life this moment is so valuable so meaningful that the abista allows us to have life so utilize that life that kayak of the summer to connect the Avis day is 24 7. he's waiting now on the line he can multitask he can hear me and you and everybody else in that sauce with that ammune and with that connection and with the kayakat feel it which by other Hashem will bring the it should bring the individual for each person to know that he is and to utilize take advantage of the Myriad opportunities to connect in the personal feelings and that feel is that the objects in everything that you see in the Brio each moment of your life is a potential stepping stone to connect with the very ilum who wants to hear from us who loves us and who created us to get closer to him every moment of the day has he climbing Sita what a powerful Torah talk we just had what does he do what inspirations praying with fire I feel the fire I feel the passion I feel the energy and we want to thank all the platforms of Hosting uh this amazing Kazakh tour talks podcast we
