Hoshana Rabbah: A New Year Begins - Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh

[Music] you know when it comes yom kippur the mode of operation is pretty obvious everybody knows where yo keeper is all about even little children understand Yom Kippur is about first thing inflicting oneself and gaining atonement Khepera forgiveness from buddy or lamb you know even my little daughter she tapi six years old and she comes to me on Friday night fish it started say what the Schumer he came back and as I come back she comes me says daddy daddy I'm still fasting I said well that's unbelievable you're still fasting some other daughter comes and says what are you talking about five minutes after the first started you eat so my daughter turns her and says no it doesn't count I said timeout okay amazing so even little kids understand way okay boys all about but the question is what is so cool about what's the goal the intent of Sukkot what am I supposed to internalize what am I supposed to take with me how am I supposed to conduct myself and Sukhoi what's the mode of operation what's the goal what's the end when tomorrow is at the Shem when Sukkot is over what did I gain and that's really what I want to talk about tonight because I think it's very important and I think that even though the answer is very obscure it's definitely present everybody ready so it's good start it's a pursuit of a more and more pursuit right but Sukkot issue Shabbat you mean he got a sit-in Sukkot for seven days why cause that we said she was to court the amount you do Toto take him because I wanted generations to know keep a Sukkot Oh chef given a cell because I have settled by place very sound Sukkot built on Mesa sign when I took them out of each and everybody knows the guy mohammed ii suka that few dolphin but then I think about comes and writes what su caught are we celebrating what exactly are we commemorate wasn't my whole gonna be a little bi Kiba right whatever I says it can make it on an air cover would its corresponding to the clouds of glory and whatever I said sue court mamas Holly he really made them actual huts to live it by the way both the true they live in Sukkot as there was the joining but they also had on there cowboy one second what exactly was the function of any equivalent well everybody knows Mahina degarmot my script I need the film of death at I'm sorry dr. Morales write down a name came in the merit of an ongoing and we know that what happened when I don't go in places away person who cut what happens to those underneath disappear and what happens right away they're an email shot on very last Mesa right man look how that comes in he starts fighting women any self so the rabbi's right because the entire time they were so joining as long as they were circumvented they were surrounded by those on a name they were invisible today so we're headed they were concealed nobody knew who they were nobody know where they were and therefore the second I won't confess of the way and those uh clouds evaporate right away beneath SLO reveal we now know where they are and what they're all about so it's very possible that Sukkot is all about a term in Judaism called cenotes and I don't mean seniors modesty I mean sinneth privacy that a person has to on Sukkot privatize his life to conceal his life and that's really what Sukkot is all about and I'm gonna prove it to you by the way I proved to you mister suka ii predict the second is not is that me that's amazing comes it writes the following what signifies what constitute the coaches took our shits allah Tommy Rubin Mohammed ah has to me that there's more shade than sunlight again this idea of being covered of covering yourself now the question is very simple what does that have to do with them in the rain you know many times you have to holidays and they're connected Rosh Hashanah vertical is giving yo keep or vertical assign piss happening so when L sent out chef's what they receive the Torah so we see that there's some sort of flow but what's the flow between yom kippur and so good what is the connection is there a connection so I want you with the words of of Dessler professor comes in says something unbelievable is it the literature of Dessler Jamie what is a very important meet out to acquire it's something that every person should obtain says of Dessler especially for about to Shuba someone who repents who comes close to Balaam who nears towards his father in shimane the one midnight you have to retain is the me dubbed Finney woods of privacy and the idea is very simple why don't have to be sent over from the Baal teshuvah yes it's very simple because many times the things that we do all these transgressions that we transgress all the violations that we violate all the impurities only the iniquities all come because we want to impress somebody or because because you want to publicize because we want to show off because we want to flaunt and therefore comes but element says listen right now you just attained Maryland right now you taint atonement right now I forgave you hide yourself for seven days I want you to take yourself but I want to privatize your life I want to conceal yourself I want you to go into the sukar where nobody sees you yeah see that time little bump hammer down and I want you to privatize your life because that is the essence of Sequoia and I'll prove it to you they supposed to give me shine for so many classes of following any of you listening moves into this pursuit becomes it says like this this expiry chemica here we go hi itself every bit of what the hell is shaman waving patella means my thousand animals my streams of oil hi temporary period the autopsy what do you want me to give my charter but Allah says it's one second what's going on here what exactly are we talking about service without the lead Maha Moshe is a low-key proper heart of she but Iran just forgave me how do i compensated how do I reciprocate what do i do - give what LM thanks and gratitude sir pursue continues there are three things he gives a card that my tooth but Ellen says I'm gonna tell you what's good Oh mom I don't know how what is God asking from you three things number one just don't respond I want you to be just number two valve at present I want you to be kind and number three that Nia let it in hello here Ellen says I want you to be private I don't want you to broadcast your life I don't want you to post your life I don't want you to come now and publicize your life everything that you have in life has to be private that's how you could pay me back for forgiving you to make sure you can seal conceal your lifestyle that's really what I want to talk about tonight tonight is that the same one this morning well this morning this is exactly what I want to talk about I want to talk about the idea that we have to privatize a life by the way if it's very very nicely with the pursuit what does it say but Sukkot is Jewish Shabbat Jimmy he got a city took off for seven days why the my new daughter him keep a succour toshiaki Billy sell when and when did I propose to court behold CEO Tom Merritt slide what happened in this life grace or on the 49th level to man and if it is Shabbat they repented they came back to Berlin but Iran comes and he extracts them from the impurities of Egypt and was the first thing he does he puts them in hiding because that's Amidala the person has to acquire after they do to Shuba because it's the beginning of sin iniquity at the beginning of strain somebody Allah when we start looking to publicize what we do our accomplishments our successes our belongings when we start for wanting what we have we are ready train from the highway of Borrelia so again our there's two areas that I want to focus on where I think we have to lead private lives not to show anybody what's going on out in our homes now so what's going on in our life and that is number one our successes let's talk about it a second how many times you see people who like to flaunt their cars the other day right after Yom Kippur were saying break a pillar by now and as we're saying break utterly by now all of a sudden a car comes right by us he takes a look at us he thinks look to the right please look to the left and he starts rooming gunning his engine I don't know any flies by ok another mystery god what am I gonna do say you drive by take a look at my guys roll out eyes wonderful two minutes later the car comes back and again he comes right he looks back it looks right it looks like it goes back miss Doane so i I'd understand I said would you buy the car for you bought it for you to drive or for me to look at if you bought it for me move aside I'll I'll Drive I don't see what you're doing you know why I have a nice car I do have a Zonda I say Tony Honda like that okay so the 2006 but I customized it I have to dance on both corners okay beautiful after publicize your car what is that what airline gave you a gift hiding I'll give me another example we have these new shoes people like the flood issues there's a new shoe it's called easy you know I'm talking about I don't know I'm talk about ease ease no guys it great easy Elias is a tune he's never heard of him hey good okay easy there called ease ease and they go for like a thousand miles people can walk around to music rabbi you like my easy it's good I have to take a look at your shoes I'm impressed with your shoes I'm not understand how much baton how many times do we spend more money than we have because you're trying to flaunt I know people who spend money they don't have on weddings for their children no I know somebody wants who wanted to spend a hundred fifty thousand dollars on a wedding the daughter came to him and said listen Danny please you know what don't spend 150 thousand spend a hundred thousand dollars on the wedding give us 50 thousand give us $50 we could start our life and the father fused can you imagine crazy by the way if the father would have said yes I would have asked him another 50 for me okay what does it mean how is that possible your daughter's asking you for money to start off her life but we have to broadcast what we not only what we do have we broadcast what we don't have I'll give me another example like vacation before convocation posted on Instagram right here I go look I went to the I know somebody who sent me pictures of every detail of the vacation every detail of their vacation I said I don't understand if you want to send me you think it's time you think it don't send me pictures okay send me a ticket I have to see that he went with his kids he took them to the beach okay they went to beach was at the beach look rabbi private beach good very nice and went for dinner went for breakfast and went to the Opera building I mean really is that so important I have to see what you're doing with your children hide your children what's going on of him a family altogether having us do we post pictures of our children what are you doing you must beloved possessions hide it retain them conceal them nobody should know anything about our family people posted they have a status pictures so he puts all their kids for many many people to look at the why whatever I was telling you I want you to conceal yourself these seven days old that I'm hiding myself I'm hiding my successes what happened to pin a cell bill it's the old timers it's 9 please cell yeah super drama they came out with his up up help arm became with tremendous amount about the prosperity wealth unbelievable well I'm says he's successful hide it put it into the sukkah HIDA bunks right within the anunnaki avoid tell publicize don't broadcast don't publish make sure you stay reticent concealed and hidden president comes advises why forget for she do she fought hi she goes here's our picture everyone has to see my my my my my wedding ring anybody else has to see my fur coat I never has to see my new shoes that he bought me why your husband gave it to you he didn't give it to everybody else that's the lesson of support that I have to learn to privatise to conceal to hide my life my successes I don't want to tell you a secret you wanna hear a secret just between me and you you see this there's you really hair there I'm deciding okay amazing because when a person has success it's so important to keep it private so that's number one what about our actions our actions person does something good you do a favor for somebody you give to that cop do we publicize that I want you to hear the wonderful words of the Paley weights set the plates the following words I read it you okay my turn now now I need to decide your position when a person comes you giving gifts to a 19-hour person you visited an orphan or a widow I saw what doesn't have anybody has to be positive no one's got to know what you're doing you have to fall onto your actions you don't have to publicize them in fact we know what it says initially we say rights my son but when a person gives secretly it dissipates for their lumps anger the anger subsides when we do it quietly you know we have development self we say the following words it's an amazing thing we say what airline Keisel here : it's Cohutta whatever you remember things that are forgotten Casa de Lucia becomes it something phenomenal what he says how I says what do you mean you remember things that I've forgotten since I'm alive yeah when a person goes up after 120 years and he's standing in front of the heavenly throne and put our mom is right there judging him and whatever I'm coming says listen what did you do in your life and a person shivering he says you know what but Ella I did nothing but a lump says one second that's not true and he reminds us of all the immense void that we did that we forgot about but somebody says that's only if you forget after you do the act if you forget about it if you keep it hidden if you don't publicize if you don't in for him if you don't broadcast if you don't publish if nobody knows what we do that we all I'm remembers it but if we go around and we publicize and everybody knows what we do then it's called 'cycle nice cap that's nice god it's remembered so then poor Ellen forgets it you go up to Shania me say one thing about Ella who only meet I guess that I can but um says yeah of course but everybody no doubt it doesn't count for putting a lamp I made shall abide yeah but that's very good but after that you went around he told everybody how wonderful of a show by Missy you are you're a maestro so it's not in the books over here Kieko kids okay college Cohutta unbelievable how important it is to keep things private that by the way is possibly why seem hot when I comes away and so good because of Talia you're going to learn you just finish the Torah you just finishing completely this look America it's wonderful but you gotta make sure that it stays in the sukkah no one has to know that's a lot to learn about no one has to know the solution that you're at well actually clue see me supposed to publicize be enough to flaunt them in fact we know there's a camera up I said my court I've kept giving him with death and this is the first time I heard this game a lot I learned there with my students it was mind-boggling it was baffling bigamous says you know what the three times right be on it let me lay a Veerappan on the mission even be me Lyle there are three times when the rabbi's change their words that means that they alter their words I don't want to say lawyer because shakin is against the Torah here the time you do it say the facts not as they are to the facts here they are number one is my secret number 2 is something called Korea number three is cush Pisa one second what's the Pacific says that she if someone comes to you and says hey did you learn myself you can't do both and you didn't learn it say no I didn't learn it why I'm sure whenever miss you whatever hey Troy asked me if I know my said you can do both my second could the Torah that I learned nobody's business no one has said oh by the way those voices one second somebody comes in AC a lovely question you can't say well I don't know if you don't know it that's true that's what does the foot says but if someone just says hey did you learn to get to vote and you say no rabbi you learn about that no don't come on I shoulda seen you'd miss you man a van we hide it so now that we learned what about number two number two is Korea who yeah things between husband and wife things between husband and wife within a marriage that you hide okay rabbi where do you take your wife for your anniversary to the pizza store okay by the way that is wait okay no okay pizzas be alive alive why it's no one's business Seanie good it's no one's business what do you get it for anniversary right it's no one's business and therefore your letters say a fallacy your let us say something right which is not factual because your marriage has to be privatized but the third one is what really bothers me says the gamourai number three is called ELISA what sushi pizza says Hershey let's say you go to someone's house okay for instance you got me out to this cosmic event it was a wonderful event and they fed you unbelievable okay any of any leftovers I'm taking you but you have off service okay for me and my wife and my shul oh you have that much sure myself okay how is this joke okay one second c-captain Kazakh vendor huh segment is unbelievable and now you leave and someone comes and says did they feed you well does any feed you out even though he was unbelievable house says Rashi he's supposed to say no it was okay what do you mean no it's okay what are you talking about why we could do that says we should let Sean that out Sean that is Sean of that so sure enough I say he was okay he was unbelievable say he's great nobody like him and the answer is because I have it's time right that there two types of us run around number one is something which is good night it's negative information okay how was it Unni it's both that's okay it's true okay fine no no it's hidden don't thinking okay fine the second one is the Vera Mazique wait a second let's say this guy's a snorer he's a mooch and if I tell me I need feeds you like a king guess what happens all the mooch is gonna go to Yaniv and they give me no more food for me to take for me in my shoe all gonna be gone so sad thinking about I change the words change it don't be factual bend it but I think have another interpretation of the word of squeeza because this visa means a host and I think I was telling you there is somebody else you wait a second I heard you had guests in your home what you make how are you gonna start from the beginning well for appetizers I mean could be you guys you could be you know what your bears you don't have could be yummy you didn't serve keep it tonight that's it there's no keep it for leftovers I'm outta here now okay so get a magazine you're doing this there's something you guys serve what is it I have students that tell me what's like the mean wha yeah yeah that okay and you serve it to him and you gave it to him eating like a king says he'll uh you're choosing to make a king you're a great old hide it now you know I put out a little food whatever that's what she pees ah because I have to my success is I have to make sure that I privatize my life I can feel my accomplishments it's not for anybody to know that's what it means Ashby's I didn't even know one person the other day I got a phone I got a picture I got a picture sent straight to my phone from a family member I take a look and all of a sudden it says quinoa salad that's a quinoa quinoa salad I said first of all I never thought I never tasted quinoa give me steak salad we're talking about now are you talking I never - I was looking through the picture and I magnified it with my two fingers like this okay and there was no quinoa in the salad what happened to the kid one must be she got so excited about the quinoa salad get all the quinoa before she took the picture I said I don't understand why do I have to see what you're making why don't I have to see what you're cooking what's your baking he did something good you accomplished you achieved high keep it hidden they got us a good time you tuff hedeman bet everyone else is comin on right and Baruch Hashem yeah ellaby devar has some women I baraja only resides it's only contained in something that's hidden from the eye wait a second says the finished I've had been you hear that beautiful thing take the word samui and do thinking battery out the word someone summer is 16 ma'am

true 232 through it have better huh because when you hide things from your eyes and you don't publicize and you know broad and it's not common knowledge then there's been aha and that substance there's the oh my my second cyka cyka DAF calf had them with Death Comes it writes like this it's vats ook at kids odd one of them is love suka listen very carefully unbelievable says how you look
