Elul: The Great Revelation of Ramchal - Repentance By Yearning For Redemption

Okay, good morning everyone. Today's shar is dedicated by our dear friend uh of David Levy in honor of and the whole with good health brib. >> Okay. So it's very interesting if you look in this he brings the three classic tool which which remind us of the three great objectives of so the most well-known tool of course is which reminds us about prayer we have to connect Hashem and ding and then Hashem is close to us then of course we have chuva that's chuva Then you have however there's a another important remed and he says the rem tool is found in every shak. You ready for this? You might be a little surprised. You hear that? This is this is serious serious reme. It's found in the tool is so what in the world is doing there? Why is alluded to in the words? It's not even in this book. No. But why is it alluded to in that in that phrase? Obviously, there's an important connection between and the gul, you know, what what exactly is the connection between and the gul? You know, the teaches us that being is enough of a reason for the gul to happen. Just as being that alone could bring the gula. And we say it in we say the flourishing of to sprout forth because we await your salvation. meaning bring the gula. Why? Do we deserve it? No. Did we earn it? No. Bring it cuz we're waiting for it. That's enough of a reason for it to come. So the question is really doesn't the Gar say don't we have to actually do chuva for the gula to happen? It's a big question. How could the say that it's not even the it's the right that Hashem bring the but say you remember the even made songs out of that but you don't know you know it's before your time those songs okay but It says or the says so how could we say that all it's going to take is to await the coming of the gul don't we have to do chuva so very interestingly the ramal wrote a safer of 515 felis like menu the ram wrote tough cuff It's a lot of 515 in his 158th writes as follows. This is part of the it's not a it's part of the you're going to ask how could we bring the gula but we're not doing chuva they're awaiting the gula will uncover and reveal the chuva somehow awaiting the gul uncovers the chuva in the heart of kalis meaning so to speak the predecessor of chuva. What access? What activates? What activates chuva? Awaiting the gula activates chuva. Also writes in the for that on the says the distress that we have that we're engul is the chuva is chuva. In other words, yearning for is chuva. What is chuva? Teaches us chuva is an act of coming close from a state of so when we yearn for hashem's revelation that is a form of chuva. I was this shabas in Norfolk Virginia the beautiful kahila over there. They have, you know, for a small kila, they have more coffee machines per capita. They they have multiple curigs and they have a new kind of kurig, ice coffee kurig. You know about that? They have an ice coffee kurig and they have a fully stockbased mish 24 hours a day. So people are always learning because you know anyway I uh said over something that we said here and two people came to ask me the same question. This is an amazing question and I think it really it needs to be addressed because it will uncover a very important aspect of being mitua. If you remember the Arizal teaches, where is the designated spot in Davening to be Map Yeshua the number one designated spot? >> No, that says and this is in the book which by the way it was out of stock. It's now back in print and make sure you get it because yard site is coming up. So you want to make sure you get the safer peace of Yeshua in in the chapter on the different locations in Davening to await the coming of Msiah. So we bring from that the designated spot to beh is when you say the words says that after 120 if you want to be able to answer in the affirmative that you are mappu take advantage of that juncture. >> What is it? >> S it's on page 150. You think it's coincidence? 150. It's on page 150. And also look what Arsco did. These words are the 'the the is all bold not bold capital letters. They made the these words are the designated occasion for in our prayers. Okay we know that already. We learned that many times right that the designated is in the we even said over that. Miller on onesh he would take his his thing and he would put it in the sidd by y so he shouldn't forget yav everybody thinks everybody's a grace no I'm not going to forget y I'm not going to forget y there's a reason why there's a sim in of what happens if you forget y what do you think when you step out after we think you went to make a made a phone call no no we know you forgot y So, so remind yourself, do something to remind yourself. So, instead of putting the, you know, you could put the keys by, but what do you do? What do you do with the keys on every other day of the month? Put it by that is a key. That's one of the most important moments of your day. In other words, of your entire day. What is one of, if you were to, this would be a good top 10 moments of the day. One of the top tones of the day is when you say the because that's when you're the great objective of beinghu. So two from Norfolk, Virginia came over to me after the drussa and they asked, "What do you do on chabas? What do you do on chabas?" Now that got me thinking, actually I didn't start thinking about it until this morning. Mashiach could come on chabas. Elahu can't come on chabas. He can't come Friday. He can't come shabas. >> Even if there >> a bris he could come to. >> Oh >> yeah. I so it's a kashik. Samer asks how could he come to a bris and not come not come to the goolah says says when he comes to a bris he doesn't come like as a guy. He's not like a guy with a flowing white beard with half the beard going flowing to the right side and the other half flowing to you know this saintly prophet. He's an angel. An angel could come on chabas. But when alo will herald the gul he comes as a ni as a human being that that he can't do on shabas in time is your shine point. >> H yeah >> right. Are you supposed to have the >> right? Okay. Okay. Let's develop the question and and let's develop the answer. If the Okay. First thing is like this. The designated spot is so here's a very important. How often do you think minimum you should beha? If it's a mitzvah, right? The smack says it's the first mitzvah in the Tyra. How often then should you be? There's a very a very if the toyra says to do something and it doesn't say how often to do it. How often do we do it? >> Once a day. >> Once a day. Very good. Says the says wrote the says that it's the says to do something and it doesn't give you a time frame. For example, how often do we put on fillin? We put on fillin every day. Where do we get once a day from? Why don't we do it once an hour? Why don't we do it once a month, once a year? Where do we get this notion to put on fill in once a day? The answer is because the Torah says to do it and the most basic time frame is a day and therefore the Mishna says reasonably if the Torah says to do something and we don't know how often we do it once a day. The applies this toe. There's a mitzvah to love God. How often should you be at least once a day which means you know writes you should try to be in the morning when you say if you didn't have time to do it then says you should not eat breakfast until you know you could sign off that you're that. So I would presume that the mitzvah of Yeshua you should also try to be once a day. By the way, the opinion of the Rambam is Diso or Dan. That was a question for the audience. My man says it's biblical. How often? Mishna says once a day. That's where he gets it from. The Ram says but only once a day. So it presumably let's say for sure according to the smack and also the Ram himself the Ram says if somebody does not believe in the coming of Msiah or if somebody does not await the coming of Msiah these are the words of the Rambam. So it means according to the Rambam the Tory itself says you need to await the coming of Msiah presumably then it would be once a day. So then and if the designated spot is somebody even asked why would the say the designated spot is he should have said the designated spot is ray because we say we do even on shabas when are you supposed to yearn for msiach on shabas yeah that's the question so we said over many times Dr. Asu was mentioning that the another spot that is designated for awaiting the coming of Msiah is isabal Shabas. Why? Right? You notice most of it has nothing to do with Shabas. Mikdash is a stanza about rebuilding the base of Mikdash and then we say we're asking to restore and then we're asking Hashem to restore Mus. So why would we greet Shabas with a pod that is not really connected to Shabas per se. So Mosha Shapiro explains that there's an idea in Jewish thought of parallel concepts. Ashan sh that there are places that are parallel to times the tells us the first mikdash was destroyed what day of the week Saturday night second ba mikdash was destroyed Saturday night the maral says it's not a coincidence great things are never coincidental the ba mikdash could only be destroyed in Saturday night you see so long as you're moving toward shabas you can have been only when you're moving away from Shabas you can have why because what Shabas is in time the B mikdash is in place basically the BA mikdash is the shabas of the world and shabas is the ma mikdash of the week another way of saying it is on shabas there is noben shabas is the Bikdash there's no on Shabas when when it's Shabas the B mikdash is here when on Shabas the B mikdash is here part of awaiting the shabas is awaiting the gula that's why says a designated is so you're awaiting the rebuilding of mikdash you're awaiting the restoration of you're awaiting the restoration of so perhaps the how are how is one mitzopy shua on chabas maybe you're not maybe you by enjoying the shabas and recognizing that it's as it were as if we have the bikdash you know it's hard to say you're not mappu on chabas because there are a lot of we mentioned you know We have we have it. We obviously we don't have it. You have all the you have you have uh also in this book. We'll see what page it's on. We'll see if if the page is working 10 times on Shabas. No, 15 times. Can you imagine? 15 times on Shabas to await the gula and all the in the we say but Maybe maybe the key spot is not needed just to bring out this idea. So in other words, it's not that there's no mitzvah of Shabas. Obviously, there is. It's not, you know, we're not going to get carried away with this idea that Shabas is like the Bik. So you don't have to be mitisha but there is such a dimension that there is no on chabas and therefore perhaps it is not as uh as needed that's where there's a tremendous amount of these rights up to 5050 and if you open if you build cuz that's the only time you get the highest level. So the highest level of Tyra only comes through building this on. >> Mhm. >> Even though it's >> Mhm. very good. I don't remember that but very good voice. >> Really? >> That's good. Remind me. You'll send it back to me. >> Yeah. Um, so that's an element of that's an element of Yeshua. I would say that Yeshua on Shabas is a little bit different than during the week because you know during the week we're awaiting its coming as we're awaiting the Shabas on Shabas so to speak that is appreciating the Shabas and especially in I would say that the reason why is alluded to invar teaches and what the Ram teaches that a form of chuva an avenue venue of chuva is to be Yeshua. So you still have another 15 or so to think about that that is marumas in uh in a reference to the gula because awaiting the gula is part of the avoid of chuva. And that's what I got for you today. So I'm going to wish you all a great day. escape from like
