Emet Inspire - Rabbi Hersch Goldberger - Now

[music] Welcome to this week's emit inspire. Many of us go through life, we go to school, we go to work, and we wake up a few years later and say, "What have I been doing with my life?" And we never really took the time to think about where my life goals are. The in last week's para par says that the Torah tells us in the and now what does Hashem your God ask from me? The quotes the medish says that and now me is referencing repentance. The [snorts] question the asks is maybe later on in the PK we see a reference to tshuva but how does the word and now reference chuva it doesn't seem to have any relevance to tshoua the answers that when a person's going throughout his day and throughout his life at each moment a person needs to ask himself the and now with a question mark what am I doing now where should I be going what should I be doing? What can I be accomplishing? The Msarim mentions that one of the worst tricks of the har is that the able inclination is that he goes and he makes us busy. We could busy with all kinds of things. It could be Tik Tok. It could be Instagram. It could be watching Torah videos. It could e it could be work. It could be school. Whatever he makes us busy with. And then we don't think about what we're doing, what we're accomplishing. We each need to take time out of our day and make sure that we're really focusing. What am I doing now? When I go and I answer that question for myself, we need to be honest with ourselves. Sometimes the answer is I need to wake up now. Sometimes the answer is I need to go to sleep now. Sometimes I need to learn Torah or pray. And sometimes it's I need to go to work or spend time with my family. At each time the answer is going to be different and we need to go and reflect on each time and really seriously meditate and think about what that should be. If we do this, this will have a profound impact and change the direction of our lives and entire future. [music]
