Hoshana Rabbah: Mending the Soul through the Eyes of the Zohar - Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser

a short while ago I got a telephone call and the call was from an individual that had asked the following Schuyler deshyla is there work in an office and it happened to be they were going home on Friday Arif Shabbat they were the last ones in the office the person realized that they did not bring the money that they needed to go home so they wondered what they were gonna do then they remembered that there is a petty cash envelope quite a large envelope in the office they thought to themselves they will borrow just a little bit of money to get home and they will pay it back when they come back on Monday they went they borrowed the money they took out from the envelope what they needed they didn't tell anybody they put it in their pocket and they went home Monday they did not have the money to pay it back didn't have the money they figured their wait two weeks later they needed money for something else they didn't have they decided they're gonna borrow from the petty cash again and when they'll pay it back they'll pay back for both times that time on the Friday and now so they borrowed again what happened was they began to borrow almost weekly larger sums of money it's an interesting thing how does the 8th Sahara work how does the evil inclination work Shekhar luminoso Chilean Sahara what is the way the modus operandi of the 8th Sahara hey yo Omar Louis a car today says just do this just borrow the money and you're gonna pay it back but just don't ask for shoes you have to ask permission you want to take from the petty cash on it's not healthcare it's not open they asked us out reaches all the more far on the next day over Louis a cockpit car then the next day they say do this and this what is that avoid avodah Zarah go in serve idols that is the way that the eight sir were he comes to us in a very gentle way in the beginning it's almost not conspicuous and then after a person falls in hasta shalom they get far far in the hole before they realize it so the person asked me they asked me such a question how do they do children and I began to tell them if a person did take money they have to return it the Torah tells us that a person has to return whatever they took so they asked me the question do they have to tell their employer do they have to tell the boss that they took it but more importantly they said they don't know how much they talked they didn't record on Tishrei your Zion I stole such-and-such on husband hoof get base they stole such-and-such so they don't know how will they know how much money they have to return so I told them it's a very interesting part that we learn an individual has to continue to do chuhwa he8 say how suffolk millie boy until the doubt will leave their heart until they'll feel i did enough to Shuba until they feel i returned the money and then they're okay hashem helps us and gives each and every one of us as semen from shamayim that our children is accepted and we're going to talk a little bit about that what it means that Shuba is accepted we are all involved in tikona nephesh we want to do the proper work the proper abode on this world that we should make ourselves what we need to that we should repair anything that needs repair work that we should do a mitzvah where we might have fallen short and that we will make up for anything that we did that might be a shortcoming so it's interesting it says originally Hashem created worlds and worlds were destroyed Vireo llamosa McCreevy now rather you both said there were worlds that were created we learn alpi kabbalah we learn according to the Zohar vanish M sent light into this world the light was too great in there was sheer atha Calum the vessels broke the world cannot contain such kedusha such light so the world had to be repaired there had to be tikkun olam and then we had to start over again this would set into motion the idea that a person can do something wrong it is possible that a person can do a nivara a person can do something that they shouldn't have but then they can be miss sucking it there is a tea kun for whatever a person might have done in this world what happened was hashem sent 288 sparks of light into this world that through these sparks of light we would be able to utilize them and Bhima socking ourselves and Bhima socking the world - Kaza tikkun olam and those 288 sparks were what we read about in the hummus when it says the Ruach elohim rock FS open-air moyen the Ruach elohim that light came down those sparks maracas and they were ohuh burring all over the water the waters we learned in new shiawase no V the waters are going to recede the river is going to dry out it's going to be parched weeds and thorns thorns and thistles will grow instead unfortunately scorpions and snakes the hush women like rub him will go where the waters once were however we learn that in the shiawase no Viet says that although the waters dried up this spring where the waters emanated from did not try out that spring is always there one day the river is going to be flowing again one day the water is going to come one day the thorns and thistles will disappear one day then the question but that grubbing will cease to exist and there will be water my high and fresh water the waters of Tara the waters of Mitzvahs and that is an interesting idea that there is a tea cone in the olam there it's a tea cone in the world and we take part of that tea cone isn't it interesting that the night of ocean Arava is called tea kollel hoshanah Rabbah because we are Misaki before the final cosima before the final ceiling of a good beautiful year of life for all of us for all of Claudius royal for all eaten all over the world for the entire world we are involved in tycoon we figure out exactly what it is that we got to straighten out and it is fascinating that we learn that one night the Zoya tells us the night of a Shannara bah there were two men they went in and cuts ice at midnight midnight they went into the basic I am they went into the cemetery and they hid among the chlorine among the graves and there they heard two of the neshamah two of the souls said let us go out and let us pray for the generation the two Nishimura's came out from their chlorine and the two men are hiding and they're listening let us pray for everybody's individual tycoon let us pray for all the neshamah let us pray for Claudius royal let us pray for the year ahead let us pray also for ourselves these two new Shamas night of the ayam the night of a shuttle rising up from their care to pray for Claudius royal they went back the two men and they announced it in the Kela they told everybody what they witnessed after that the next year two other people went and they wanted to find out what was going to happen however that year when they went into the basic I him when they went to the cemetery they heard the neshamah stalking our secret has been revealed therefore let us stay in the chlorine let us stay in the graves and we will pray from there can imagine the inspiration that we have from it can you imagine even the nationís that have passed on that are in the olam OMS that are in the basic ìiím are praying for the Taccone for us ll hoshanah Rabbah how much more so should each and every one of us understand the heel the responsibility the obligation the whole Kadosh upon all of us to understand the fact that in the next how many hours there are two Hashanah robber left how we should be involved in takuna nephesh in repairing ourselves a very interesting thing we learn about in the Talmud Bavli Moustakas Baba kama we remember that the first Lucas the first set of Luc Lyssa briefs the Ten Commandments were broken the second set came out the second set interesting were different than the first do you know why because it had the word toy good the Talmud tells us had the first set been destroyed with the word good good will cease to exist the fact that there was a second set means that there was fear a sec hey Liam that first the vessel was broken and then there was the t then Moshe Rabbeinu brought down the second set of Lukas and that second set was going to be established for ever in the same way that you and I we have the ability to be me takane to fix to rectify to make it all good to make it as though it never ever happened that is the power that a person has on the night of a son araba it is the power that we have in the entire day it is the co cachoo ver one more idea one more idea interesting yesh Iowa Novi came to his Keo and said the Hiskey Oh whiskey oh you're gonna die you didn't do what you supposed to you didn't do what your job was in this world you're gonna die kiss Keo started to argue with you shiawase na v another a prophet comes and says something's gonna happen Hiskey yawns arguing with him night of my own can you imagine arguing with the Navi kiss Kyo argued he said I feel ecstatic on demonic assaults of Rasul Adam even if a sharp sword is resting on a person I am NOT swimming Iraq of him out TCH don't you ever ever ever give up don't despair raka meme can come in the last second you sure you walked outside bourree olam hashem baby sure comes to you show you an RV and says go back go back to his Keo Intel Castillo there is hope tell Castillo there is life I added life on how many times a sham adds life on two people and I chef said go back he went back by yah same Castillo Allah care and he found them kiss Keo turned on his bed to the wall and he started to doffing he started to pray his Keo was able to recover from his illness can imagine even a novel a sham told him he's gonna die his killer said no I'm gonna live I'm gonna do chuhwa I'm gonna repent I'm gonna pray I'm gonna say tell him I'm gonna die I'm gonna say one more time slavi no T Carter no hoshi van wash Amy laughs OH return me a sham and it worked how wonderful it is just one more idea the seed if you ever went to plant seeds beautiful flowers ProTeam whatever you plan you put the seed in the ground everybody knows that that seed cannot grow until it completely decays only when it ceases to exist then you see its hidden potential its sprouts the Hebrew word for flower is para para cos gamma Trias somebody let's go add up it's not that late 200 you got it 88 288 288 the same amount as the sparks that ashame sent into this world the holy sparks Muraki versa paella Mayan that were hovering around the water how unbelievable is so how do we be met again how do we fix how do we look for it the first is we've got to go back to the beginning our beginnings everyone we have to renew ourselves as the day that I first put on tefillin as the day that I entered into school and I take a look the first time at the Navi the first time I learned miss ela sushar him the first time I learned something great in the caduceus Lavy the first time that I was so good to stay up maybe it's tonight maybe it's cuz he's a brute maybe it's cause of Kazak but it's the first time and this will be the most beautiful thing that a person can always remember 50 years from now 70 years from now 100 years from now that we stayed up all night and we learned so they came to the Ritter a very big balith era I don't mean that it's like the Vilna going and one time by accident he leaned up against the lamp and he didn't even realize it and he fainted because he touched mook sir he touched the lamp he fainted polish on the ground so what happened dibala Vera came in and he did a lot more than touch into life by accident he did major heavy weight of arrows without going into it he says great rabbi Rebbe Israel tell me how do I do children what should I do Rebbe sure looks at him straight through him straight through down to his neshama he says I want to ask you a question when you started to go after Daris what is the very first thing that you did the man said Rebbe I will tell you I was always very careful then I said Birkat Hamazon I said benching from the sitter every word I thought to myself I did this practice a long time it's not so important I know it Bao Pat I know it by heart I didn't use a sitter anymore the original said you want to know how to do teshuva I'm going to tell you what to do from now on when you're gonna say Bharata Mazzone when you're gonna bench use the sitter use the sitter Rebbe why are you telling me that you telling me it's too late you gave me such an easy tissue bob because you feel that I'm lost then I'll never get back into a Shems good graces that there's no hope for me is that what you're saying Rebbe so L said no what I'm telling you is you have to go back to the beginning you've got to take your life back to the very first time you've got to erase everything that went on since that moment you got to put it out of your mind you got to rectify it be the Saucon you got to fix it up but go back to the way that you were you are not different now how many people came into me said I'm not the same person I'm not to say man I'm not the same woman I'm not the same boy so good I'm different you know what I did you know what I went through Noah Shem says you are the same we sane and Slee hooked every one of us Kadesh you may know keek Adam the rock culture ha kodesh be Kirby the rock Nicole Kanishka care me let me be new let me be like I was back in a time of Bar Mitzvah bossman let me be the time when I was the first time I was able to pray together with the Tibor let me be the first time when I found out that there is such a mitzvah as she look I came and I was able to send it for it let me be the first time when I was able to come home and light Shabbat and they wrote light the candles for Shabbos let me go back to that first time that's what the original says that we all have to do and indeed sometimes a person has to make a reversal in life I'm going down one way and I may be going in the wrong way so I say a lot of times what can I do it's my nature it's my Tivo that's what I'm used to I can't help it I'm you know that's the way I've gotten into so I'll try to work within my little you know within my context know a person has to be ready to change your life around to be muhabba to change the way that they are living the great sonic sonic is so dull um the out of Slovakia said the following there was a guy he was on a ship and they figured out that the ship was going the wrong way it was going east was supposed to go west so there was one great scuffle mothership and a cuff him says okay we're going the wrong way so he turned around ok now we're going the right way and his ship was still going the wrong way how come if you want to get it the right way you can't just turn around and play a game you got to turn your whole ship around the same thing is by us if we know we're not going in the Derek are you sure if we know we've got in a slightly different way we've gone off from the path the Derek Solano I was sent to a position that path that has been charted by the God Allah Israel by the other city most likely by the great ones who have lived before us so if we want to go in the right way sometimes a person has to say I'm willing to turn myself around now it's a fantastic fantastic idea that happened sometimes the person gets an idea while they're awake sometimes say hey Cyrus while they're sleeping could be through a dream came to hockey same bacala we say it whether it's awake or whether it's in a dream everything is a sim and when a person gets these Cyrus has some cipher says you're walking down the street all of a sudden you're crossing Queens Boulevard or you're crossing Ocean Parkway or you're crossing for saying your Krum wherever you're at London Australia all the places that he's a brute hits all the place of kazaar kids all over the world South Africa Malaysia it's unreal Ireland you can go on and on and on France and Italy in Spain so what happens individual when they're crossing the street they got to know if a car comes right in front of them and almost gets them and they just miss it by like half an inch see girl like this made it wrong a person should know at that moment they were sent to cinema neshama aim Hashem sent to them a wake-up call an alarm and it said hey one second who are you Shana machine ask them wake up understand that that was something from a sham it was a service that was sent straight to us it was earmarked for us I got to understand I got a tremble for a minute and understand what do I got to do in my fulfilling my mission in life so the hundreds Mordechai goes to sleep one night great great Sadiq and while he's sleeping all of a sudden somebody up hundreds upon him with a long beard a glowing face says to him you've got to do teshuva you've got to do children the Hodler simcha wakes up and as soon as he wakes up he says immediately column will show me the Bayreuth dream speak falsehood you don't have to worry about dreams say good morning brothels hello MA show me the bear oh we learned from you don't got to worry about it so he went back to sleep when he went back to sleep the same person came to him he put his hand on his hand and he said do teshuva I am telling you right now it is this man that you've got to do teshuva it was Leo Yom Kippur he woke up dear a kalamos low marlene viloma reiden we don't live by dreams we don't take dreams and say okay I got to sell my business by my business it's not the way we work so he disregarded it the third time the hollom came he didn't disregard it he began to shake and they realized it said kumoi the same thing that was told to Yana no they go and call out to a sham call out from the depths of your heart so finally challenged in the dream and said tell me what I got to do to God he said I am the mihari Ben lave mihari Ben lathe mari Ben LAIV is one of the greatest tsadikim that lived in his time he was also a great Passaic he wrote to chievous mihari Ben lathe the Maori Ben they said there was a dint IRA there was a court case and there were two that came in front of me toying and neaten I said on one that he's guilty I said on the other one he's innocent - Sakai the one that I said is guilty was not going to listen to the din and I warned him you better listen to the din that is the whole idea basin that's what you got to do when I walked out from the basin he took his hand and smacked me across the face PO gaya in the carbonate IRA is unthinkable I cannot fathom it in my mind any Yi anybody any Bria certainly not around Murray Ben lave said his amira is right now H on the bones ashed and it has not disappeared you must do teshuva get the safer with the to vote with the response of the Maori Ben lave learn them for four years know them but I'll pad know them by heart and your ancestor who did this slap will then have a tea kun will then be repaired he wakes up he gets the safer it's rare he helps in publishing it he learns it for four years the entire dream I just gave you the short version is printed up in the gareth alone Agartha hallo it's a letter it tells all about the dream and every specific detail of the dream everything was ok however in Bnei Brak Bnei Brak a while ago was not ok because there was someone that was going from place to place in Bnei Brak burning the aren in the sefer torah can imagine it burning the our own in the sea for a tour of different places they didn't know what to do my gave a plague how could such a thing happen people were going crazy they went to the great gobble rush Steinman the Gazzola Estrela BPM all new high and we live from their breath from their words so they went to the great sonic and they said it's a Meshuga it's such a Meshuga he's burning they can't catch him the police can't catch him he's burning the are and burning the spirit are Meshuga robber and Steinman said miss suga Meshuga you can call him anything you want but what is the reason why he's got this idea to burn sea freight aura what is the reason that's what you have to know crush Steinman didn't say one more word he left it at that two days later they came and they begged him explained this Raavan said the following you know it says in machetes Mako's kama tips i shall in shame how foolish are the people the chyme Amick may safer tighter safer taro comes out whoa everybody stand up whoa whoa whoa safer taro right willow kaimei McNay guevara bo but they don't stand up when a great huh foam comes what a great side that comes when a rope comes when the head of the basin comes in they sit down they start measuring ya know should stand should not stand yeah right she says I'll tell you the reason someone if not more than one person is pro-gay in the Cabana Torah is now an insult to the great respect and honor that we owe the Torah we have got to raise our level we've got to be met Akane we got to fix that prot if we can fix that then perhaps the sefer Torah in the Arrancar dish will stop being burnt rubber and said they should immediately publish the eager Osaka loan that told the whole story of the Maori Ben lave in the tubas publish at thousands get it out all over Bnei Brak although rarities well they went immediately and they published it they ran it off they worked around the clock and they put it out all over the Agera so columns in the very next day police apprehended the one who is the arsonist burning the secret IRA if we want to know what we need to do it's simple very simple individual has to know there's a tycoon and that tycoon is based on things that have happened things that have gone on I need to know how do I make a deacon in my life like we said before if I took money I pay money back if I laughed a little Emunah so I work on my omona I say anima mean I show my omona I show my beat Oakland whether it's in par Nassau or whether it's in getting married or whether it's in trusting in learning and encouraging learning and knowing that if a person does what is correct they will never lose never ever if they follow the missus Liana Navarro they'll never know anything bad that is what an individual has to remember that's the tea cone that's what happens when we come to such a day and no matter what a person did interesting learning Flemish braces viescha our new caucus or eights Rama beam who planted a tree in each place the Zoya tells us something fascinating why did he plant a tree when he would plant a tree if it sprouted para he would know that the people there were not Eve they avodah Zarah they didn't serve idols if he would plant the tree and nothing would happen it would lay barren then he knew that there were over there buona sera what he would do is bring them in he would work on them he would give them a tea cone he would do whatever he had to do even people were all that about us our I guarantee you none of us are on the river lisara I guarantee you most of the people that will watch this worldwide did not be available to Sarah they didn't bow to anything they didn't declare that they weren't Jewish and went and did something else most most people would not steal and if they stole something slow they wouldn't steal something big most people did not do that Varys Comoros the most severe of the sins of Rama V know he was Moxon and mokuba he gave them a tycoon he told them what to do it has some cipher in Excel cipher when they were asked about a certain person was over never Lazaro and now he came back he was never a yeegh I mean Schumann as they call him he came back to the show he cried he cried in front of the Arrancar dish he said tell him all day he cried bitter tears of shame except me Hashem please so they have a society that helps with the Hebrew khadisha and he wanted to be a member they said you will not be a member in our club you're not going to be part of the Kebra so they took that into the club so fur the accept service says are you kidding me a person does choo choo ver a person that cries it says tell him all day that cries in front of the Arrancar dish in front of everybody and said his guilt and was miss my dad and went and confessed and you're his telling him he can't be part do chuva and tell him he's invited immediately and they let him in avodah Zarah that's okay unbelievable one more one more who would ever think of this the great Rebbe slim of Cal in school so young in Delano the grave of of Colleen he was driving on a carriage riding by all of a sudden the guys running running running and grabs him so he said can I help you she says Reba I need a tycoon you need a tycoon okay he gets off the carriage he's holding his hand and he said he's difficult for me to say the words from my mouth there are certain things that a person just can't say but

have any home anywhere you've got to be in a different city every day sleep one night the next city you can only go one night a year to your own home and I'm going to tell you what I want you to do right now I see that you're holding he had a stick I see her holding a stick I want you should put this stick underneath your bed every year when you come back you take a look under the bed you've seen a stick and if the stick blossom if there's a flower it will be a simin from Hashem a sign from heaven that you have been forgiven the man accepts the tikkun chuhwa this Seder Hakuba the order from the great rubbish lerma of Killeen he goes and he puts a stick under his bed and he travels for years city to city no permanence no place he could feel a stable life from place to place mob and odd one night he's in a city there was no place to sleep so he went to the shoe he went to the courtyard of the shul he goes into a corner he goes to sleep and he does chuhwa every night before he goes to sleep over what he did all of a sudden they bring an iftar they bring somebody the hammer condition and they put an iftar in the courtyard they didn't know he's there and there was a Shimer there was someone's supposed to guard the body and the person was guarding the body all of a sudden the man looks up from where he's at and he sees that the person that's supposed to guard the body is going to abuse the body the worst abused the body kalila nibble on mace he couldn't take it he's so holy now he became such a closer to chuva he couldn't take it he goes up and he gives him one hit in this genre falls over dead on the ground the man took it so bad I thought I did too Shiva these years I thought all my crying and all my V joy and everything that I asked gosh Gemini was forgiven I thought finally and I'm going to be forgiven and here I see that I'm just as guilty because I killed a second man he was so upset he could not come to himself it happened to be the next night he was supposed to be in his home he goes back to his home he's ready to get into his bed and then he remembered I'm supposed to look underneath he look underneath the bed his stick blossomed he goes to the Heyliger of schlemm of colleen and he tells him about it and he says rabbit look what I did a second time there's no children for me ever ever if some of Colleen said no you're wrong you're chuva was accepted the second time when you killed Bashar gang when you killed by accident and you felt so bad over it and you felt that always lost and you felt yet no children this world left that's the moment that boreal um that through butter Shalom our Creator the hailing about Shepard said you are forgiven a her Agnetha SH I always wondered when I learned this I was in yeshiva I never forgot this safer and I never pulled it out it's an obscure safer I never pulled it out until last night and I saw it once again why did it have to blossom you know the reason para 288 it's the 288 sparks Moroccan Fez they came to this world that helped even a person that did the worst to come back to a Shem we all have that power each and every one of us we have the car we have more clothes than you can ever imagine to be misaki it's work but all of us can do it we can all start in the beginning like the original said we all have the power of mysterious nebbish that is what defines us as a people that we have self-sacrifice that we can change we can go from east to west that i can make the difference we all have that power it's inside each and every one of us just an ending during the Holocaust there's a young boy young boy Dov it one night he's sleeping in Auschwitz he fills somebody tapping his shoulder turns around he didn't have the power to get up fully but he sees him a little bit the man says I would like to ask you a favor I am the dying from veidt's and the veidt's and a dyin as soon as the boy heard that he stood up he had great honor for him he had great respect veidt's and her dying came to speak to him he said we have a secret little suka little suka here in auschwitz i need to be able to make kaduche and have like a Mishnah i heard that you have some kind of connection with the supplies could you take for me two pieces of bread I will make kiddush and I will give you back one piece after I'm finished love it said to him I will do it if you will take me to the suka and you will allow me to sit together to get the mitzvot the rights and a dying said I am post-sex Allah I decide that loco that you are completely exempt you are young you have a whole life to live I am older already it doesn't matter the boy held his ground he said if you'll let me I will bring the bread but that's my condition the veidt's anodyne had no choice but to allow him that night the first night of circus the boy went to bed or whatever you call it that they allowed them to sleep at night the veidt's anodyne came woke him up hot toys and took him they both went into this little little suka and been mysterious nephesh had kiddush i might see and then ran out the boy was him to share us up late that he was a survivor he lived how great it was that he lived and he said no matter how many times he became a successful businessman and he had big big suka with all the amenities and everything he never had the Simca he ever had the great unag the enjoyment and the pleasure that he had in auschwitz when he sat in that little sucker with the veidt's and a dyin and so the years passed one day he comes in to shul and there's an elderly man that comes in doubles standing then the elderly man began to say it was during the younger Oh him during these days and he began to say an inspirational speech Steve Ray he sighted us and he said you should know that Jews even in Auschwitz in the shadow of death began some others they were macaé Mitsos that they did Mitsos and they learn I want to tell you we even had a little suka in one night I asked a young boy and he began to tell the story about the two pieces of bread in that the young boy made the condition that I'll only give you the bread if you'll take me into the suka and young boy willing to sacrifice his life can you imagine for one you Shiva sucker then he was exempt that he was putter and he began to tell a story it dove it starts to go up closer and closer and he looks at the veidt's and a diet and he says to him Rebbe I'm doublin I'm the one that you're telling this story about the Vikes and a dying looks he says you survived they hugged each other and they kissed each other and the Vikes and the dying showed him in the shilassen chievous exactly where the entire story was spelled out mysterious nephesh is weapon a Israel has it's the key to our survival everyone everyone in around the entire world we should all be salsa in the year ahead to do all the things that we want to climb closer to Hashem to be closer in every way to be misaki anything that we need to be massaging in our own life we should be softened to reverse in your shoes the partner Suleman see a barometer Sholem bias we should be certain to children and young people that will go on the derrick and anybody that fell away should come back strong in strong unity and sherlyn bias there should be unbelievable brokenness locker for all of us and it should be the year that we usher in the ghoulish elena beccarose or me [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
