Bread During Aseret Yemei Teshuvah: The Small Mitzvah That Changes You | Rabbi Yosef Benyaminov

You might not understand this at first, but guess what? The 10 days of repentance is all about is all about bread. Yes, you heard me right. It's about bread. The writes a person should try to eat kosher bread that's baked by a Jew during the 10 days of between Ashan and Kipur, [music] which is actually seven days. And it's very strange type of alaka. We allowed to eat normally bread that's made by a non-Jew as long as it's a bakery, right? Because we're not going to have uh feelings of of appreciation [music] and things like that to a bakery from a private individual that's a non-Jew even though it's kosh we're not allowed to accept because we might have appreciation and might want to marry into them. But [music] the writes during these days it's very important to eat bread that's baked by a Jew, right? It's it's considered a better quality [music] bread, right? Even though you're allowed to throughout the other the rest of the year to eat bread that's baked by a non-Jewish bakery. So what what what exactly is this do? [music] What is why what is it doing in the laws of between Kapoor? The contest provides with a fascinating answer. You see [music] most people they kind of have this thought that you know I tried having New Year's resolutions. I tried to do chuva it's so hard and people lose belief in themselves they think like I can't change comes and says no you can't try this bread what does [music] that mean if a person would try something very small take upon themselves just for you know about a week or so something that's might seem [music] insignificant but wait a second you know what it would do it to him it would raise his selfesteem you believe look I could do this I can change Look, I ate for 10 days. I ate kosher bakery bread. So, wow, this is very very interesting. And it gets more motivation and inspiration to change [music] of with the bread with other things. will take. As long as you take a little by little, you could change. [music]
