Why Do We Confess for Sins We Didn’t Commit? | Rabbi Rakhmin Dodobayev

Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu Zichuto Yagen Aleinu He used to praise Ben Ish Chai a lot. And he prayed by his Kavanot. And uh he was the follower of Rabbeinu Ben Ish Chai. And many many Chachamim also Rabbeinu Rashash, Rabbeinu Shalom Sharabi. And also Rabbeinu Ari Hakadosh, Rabbeinu Chaim Vital. Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu he said a beautiful thing. And I want to share with you. He said that this month not the month of Elul a person who makes a Chas VeShalom a sin BeShogeg, meaning he wasn't doing intentionally. Uh happened to be he made an Aveira. In time of Beit Hamikdash, you had to bring the Korban. So Rabbeinu Mordechai Eliyahu has a question, why do you have to bring the Korban? He made it uh he made it the sin uh it wasn't with intention. It was not wasn't Bemezid. It was not done on purpose. Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu says beautiful thing. He says, if a person who made the Aveira BeShogeg unintentional, so that means in before he had the intention to do it. So that's why he had to bring the Korban. So the same thing in our days when we do something that was intentional, that means it was done intentionally. So we ask Hashem Hakadosh Baruchu in these days of month of Elul, the Selichot, "We have sinned, we have transgressed, we have rebelled, we have betrayed, we have stolen, we have and etc." Why do you have to say that that uh we had stolen, we had It doesn't talk about specifically about the person. It talks about the community that is praying with that we don't know the of Am Yisrael that uh who is connected to who. And uh we are all one tree, we're all one branch, we are all one root. So we Yisrael Arevim Zeh LaZeh, we are uh worrying about each other. If somebody is getting married, we We Mazal Tov. If Chas VeShalom if gets sick, we pray for him to get better. If somebody passes away, we all go to the funeral and give our eulogies. So, that's why we are all one. May Hashem bless us. We should do mitzvot maasim tovim. These days are very holy. To give tzedakah, to pray, and to give a lot of a lot of prayers, and also the study of Halacha.
