Hoshana Rabbah: Setting Our Priorities - Rabbi Paysach Krohn

[Music] as was mentioned hoshanah Rabbah is a very special night and a very special day and the reason that it's so special the zyre ha'qodesh tells us in passion south booyah we are the hog on the seventh day of the holiday of Succoth he see you ma de Deena tonight and tomorrow morning that's the final seal the final judgment is given tonight and tomorrow for the world Oh piss keen napkin me Bay mauka and the final seal the final note is given from the king so tonight is really the end before Hashem decides what is actually going to happen not only to all of us but to everybody in the world and so therefore tomorrow as was mentioned there's going to be many many extra three lights there are many many people throughout the world that stay up a whole night as many of you will be here throughout for the Sheeran I remember one of the greatest memories of my life is when I was tonight this night Hashanah rava I went to the case of my Ravi I will never forget it because I knew very well that tomorrow morning kahshanna rava there would be close to 15,000 people at the castle and I wanted to be right up front so I came the night before well before midnight and I took a chair and I was sitting right in front of the K cell and I'll tell you an interesting thing what happened is there many many people tonight who read they go to shul and they read from the beginning of Devoran the homage to arm till the end and I will never forget I came to the parsha I was saying it and my art scroll himesh trying to understand the meaning of every word and I came to the parsha vez con una vez Hana is the second partial in Devore him and it tells how moisture Ave know is begging please please let me come charity Sorel and Hashem says don't pray to me anymore I'm not letting you go and the truth is I started crying I couldn't stop crying for my Sharabi no I'm sitting here at the Kotel I've been territory sir all 20 times I'm sure many of you have been there many many times and here the Rebbe of Claudia Israel he can't be at the Kaiser he can't he's never gonna be energy stall until Messiah comes it was so sad for me and I remember that this is the night of that anniversary of my feeling of Ash and arava at the castle the night before everybody began to davon but there were thousands of people there all night so tonight many people say Teelin many people learn all night and that's what we have is gathering here tonight you know the four species that Dollard minim that we use throughout circus we all know that they represent different parts of the body the ester Aquino represents the heart the lulav represents the spine the hadassah represent the eyes and the rover's represent the mouth and I'll tell you what I thought of tomorrow when we hold the hassanis that's all the Aravosis we're taking a whole bunch of aerobics we put it together I row versus the mouth so tomorrow we have to think about what are we gonna improve with our mouth and that's why it occurred to me only because I had to prepare this talk I never thought about it before as was mentioned before who is the guest tonight in the sukkah that's David I'm Ella what did David I'm Ella write to helium right that's why many many people say to Holte limb on Ash on Aruba so tonight we're talking about the IRA voice right the Aurora's are the things that we're gonna hold tomorrow and Fela aerobics represents the mouth tonight the guest is David to have a grow tell him so I'll tell you what I think that every one of us tonight should Bleen air that beam acabo undertake let's undertake from now on that not one day is gonna go by without us saying tell him now I would never ever ask you to do anything that I don't do myself so let me tell you what I do you don't have to do this but I think everyone us tonight if we came a sauna robber the night where governor Melek has the guest the day and the night when people say the hole tell him from now on if he never said to him before say one period day one chapter they say two chapters a day but not one day should go by without us saying tilling because till them is that connection to a Shem what I do is I like to say five a day because there's 30 days in the month five times 30 is 150 so like this I finish it once a month but Hashem I've been doing it for years I don't want to say how many years and shouldn't me and I in hora but I'm just telling you you feel so good every time I walk down on my tilling that this month I finished it this month I finished it it's very very special so tonight Blee net if you can before you go to sleep or tomorrow before yontiff make sure you say at least one capital and I want to give all of us a blessing every one of us that's gonna be makka bell that there's one phrase in the first para can tell them that I love and that's my brother to all of us the hall I say yeah say yeah it's Lea everything that you do is gonna be successful who doesn't want to say a Pyrrhic like that let's say it tonight say that Pyrrhic say that tossing and just Nova challah sure yeah say yes Lea everything that you do is going to be successful you know there's a very interesting question and the previous speaker touched on it before very interesting if tonight is the final seal of the din so between Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur were all very very serious right so you know I seriously mokuba then we come to Yom Kippur so we can understand that those are the days of judgment but why is there like a separation between Yom Kippur and Hashanah raba and it seems to be a very happy time who doesn't love suckers who doesn't love you know the lulav and the esteridge and the super decorations it's such a happy time why why is that in the in the middle and again this is a question that I saw in a safer that rubbed over Hofstetter tremendous time upon somebody who runs a wonderful organization dear show around the world and you know something he gives a terrorist's but I want to tell you what I thought of you know just a few weeks ago all of us experienced the solar eclipse right everybody knows what happened from the west coast and argon to the East Coast and South Carolina there was like a whole row across America where it became dark in middle of the day and everybody said the moon covered the Sun and nobody would dare look at the Sun except President Trump which could answer a lot of questions about him but whatever that's not this discussion but whatever he none of us would look at the Sun everybody bought those glasses and you know not to look at the Sun when the moon was covering it because otherwise it could be dangerous for the retina and I'll tell you the truth I was looking in all the Jewish newspapers and the Jewish magazines I wanted to see would it why did God make it in our generation why did God make it right before L oh this kind of B reason everything that happens happens for a reason everything Hashem is doing it so that we should learn something from it and I'm telling you I didn't see anything that spoke to me and so I just was thinking about it and then something occurred to me you know something it's absolutely ridiculous what everybody was saying that the moon could cover the Sun the moon can't cover the Sun you know how many times the Sun is bigger than the moon I don't know if you know this four hundred four hundred times bigger than the moon is the Sun the moon is so insignificant compared to the Sun how in the world could anybody say that the moon covered the Sun so I'll tell you what happened the moon didn't cover the Sun you know what happened see all of you know this is a baseball right now this baseball is really so insignificant unless Aaron judges hitting it but besides but this baseball is really insignificant and all of you are bigger and more important than this baseball but watch what happens when I bring it close to my eye I can't see anyone even yawn if my ear off you know why because when you bring something close to your eye that's insignificant you can't see the big picture and that's what happen the moon didn't cover the Sun the moon blocked our vision we allowed the moon to come into that position so that it blocked average you know we couldn't see the Sun now I want to tell you a plastic now when I first saw this plastic I absolutely went crazy I could not believe it's listen to this plus ik and Malacca get mo plastic off it says like this at the end of time berserk all of em Eurasian me ask em says I'm gonna shine a Sun it's a melaka given plus a cuff to all those who fear me Shemesh I'm gonna give you a son sadaqa a righteous son and the doc says everybody's gonna be happy everybody's gonna be healed anybody who's sick will be healed nobody will get sick or my papers no film there will be healing in the wings of that Sun everybody will have a happy heart and if that's the case we all want to see that Sun how we're gonna see that son of Wheelock and allow things that are insignificant to cover our eyes to cover our vision then we can't get to that Sun and I'll tell you a great story I have friends that were and are identical twins they grew up and want to Long Island they would they grew up not religious Steve and Mitch Barnett now today Steve is simcha and Mitch's McCoy but when they were young they were not religious and everything was the same the exact same same hobbies same friends same school same workplace everything and you know what they love to do they love to go bike riding all over the world and so they were members of bike clubs and one day he simply after he became religious he told me this story was sitting in my house or was Pesach morning after donning I had invited him for kiddush and he said you know what we once said we once went to New Zealand I don't know if you know the layout of New Zealand then maybe when he da brought shows this talk you know they'll give you a layout of it but there's the North Island there's a body of water called the Cook Strait and then there's a South Island and he told me that they flew from America to the North Island everybody with all their bike gear and knapsacks and everything they took a ferry over the Cook Strait and then they went to the South Island and simply told me that the South Island the first hill that they had to climb was almost like a straight wall it was so difficult their legs were killing them they couldn't get up that hill and then he noticed they were going single-file so the guy ahead of him the guy ahead of him opened up his knapsack threw out a heavy book throughout appliers threw out a crowbar all the things that were making the trip heavy and then once it was lighter then they were able to get up to that mountain and simple Barnet told me an amazing thing he said when I became religious when I became about Yuva I realized that that bike ride was the bike ride of Abell chuva if somebody wants to get to the top of the spiritual mountain well thank you so much if somebody wants to get to the top of the spiritual mountain then you've been carrying a lot of baggage you got to get rid of that baggage in order to get to the top of that mountain I couldn't get over that that was such a great allegory such a great muscle if you want to get to the top of the spiritual man you got to get rid of the baggage so after he told us me about an hour later my son comes home from another show where he was dawdling and I said to him did he what simple said you know this bike ride is the rider the ball chewer he said dad supposing I said what plastic he said governor Miller throat until I listen to this me Allah this is until improv Donald given on that me alibi Arash em who's the one who wants to go up to the top of the spiritual mountain Emile come climb culture what does it say next that's right apply and we gotta get rid of the baggage I want crazy I couldn't believe it that's what governor malloy was telling us you want to get to the top of the spiritual mountain they keep applying we got to get rid of that baggage I quickly looked up them wonderful safer until I'm called mikdash math and he tells us dr. Elissa frame the clay oka says something fabulous how do you say the word load in Hebrew a massa right how do you spell massa men sin olive listen to what he says men is mom wine money sin is similars clothing Aleph is Oka food if all your life you're just interested in making so much money and dressing the best and eating the best restaurants the best food you're not making it up to the top of the mountain we all need food we only clothes we all need money but that's not what life is all about because if money food and clothes on what you're interested you're blocking your vision to what's important in life that's why we have these happy days in between before the final day you know why because part of being a Yid is not only fasting it's not only being in show Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur how do you spend your happy time how many people dispensed young Tiff's did you really enjoy sitting in the sukkah I'll tell you what my feeling is in a Sukkah I do everything that I possibly can in the sukkah just to sit and read no matter what you embraced I feel so embraced by the walls as if I was hugging me I look up to the shock I feel like shams protecting me and of course she's supposed to have fun in other ways as well but you have to love doing Mitsos I want to tell you a great story not tonight is a very difficult night for me and I'll tell you why see my mother who was a widow for 40 long years died 11 years ago at the beginning of hollowmade circus so I just had yurt site for her now my father died it's hard for me to believe 51 years ago as I told you my mother was when he died Schmidty and saris so I've got yurt site again the day after shana rama some right between the yurt sites of my mother who died 11 years ago and my father who died 51 years ago and it's so unbelievable we but both times we sat Shiva we started right after young right after Circus so I want to tell you a story about my mother who I was very close to and until I heard this story I thought I knew everything about her I I couldn't imagine that there was anything that anybody could tell me about my that I didn't know but two years ago my nephew you heard of Goodman hoodie Goodman from Lakewood who teaches in a school in Edison New Jersey called me up and he said uncle president I want to tell you something about your mother that you don't know I said hoodie that's ridiculous nobody knows anything about my mother that I don't know he said uncle Pesach I'm telling you I was with her the last day of her life which was the second day of sugar she died right after young deaf right at the beginning of Halle might I said hoodie what are you talking about he says you know I was with her in Port Campbell Hospital I said yeah I remember that he said I want to tell you what happened the last morning of her life she wasn't talking anymore she wasn't talking for a few days and I came in was the second day of circus and I said to her Bubbe I've got the lulav Vaness trick would you like to make the braja and we'll shake the lulav and she didn't respond so he said I figured that she wouldn't respond but I spoke to her anyway and I said to her Bobby hey listen I'm gonna give you the lovin Esther again I'm gonna put my fingers around your fingers and you just listen to me we'll say the brachot together and we'll shake the little oven s ring and he says and that's exactly what we did we shook the lulav and the Esther guy made the Brock I wasn't sure if she understood that I made the Brock I wasn't sure if you realize what was going on but then I tried to take away the lulav and the Eric and she wouldn't give it to me she was holding on to it very tight and I said to her Bobby we did the Mitzvah already she didn't say anything she just held on to it I my nephew said to me when I saw that she didn't want to leave go so I took my hands away and I let her hold it herself and as soon as she held it herself she took it to her lips she kissed the lulav she kissed the Esther and she gave it back to me he said I almost fainted that meant she knew what was going on I thought she was she didn't know what was going on but she knew obviously she knew this was a double mitzvah she knew this was a drama it's not and she kissed it but I never understood why she kissed it so I never told you the story now I know that I always kissed a lo Vanessa cause I saw my mother do it I didn't know why she did it but she did it so I did it he said but today I was teaching the to my class this was right before peso he told me this two years ago now look it up you will not believe in

still got the chance how could anybody miss kissing the lulav interesting and you know something dude in front of your children do in front of your grandchildren so they'll know how you love the Mitzvah as I told you I was kissed a little in the district I didn't know why I guarantee you my mother didn't know this but she knew was a holy thing she knew that her mistress was so precious to her and that's why we have these happy days in the middle and Shem wants to see what's precious to you are you staying up to watch the game till 12 o'clock at night you wouldn't miss that for anything right what in the world is everybody gonna do tomorrow night but okay we'll worry about that right but but to kiss a little Vanna Estragon a Sukkah I'll tell you another story about somebody who loved mitzvahs it's just absolutely amazing a number of years ago I was on the way Derek C sure was 19 Anna was in the 1707 these or whatever and what happened was on the plane there was a man by the name of it's rubbish low magical but some of you may know rabbi Emmanuel Djokovic was the chief rabbi of England this is his brother who was a Dean of schools a whole network of schools in Toronto called eights climb and so it's climbin thousands of kids over the years and he was the Dean so when I saw him on the plane I set him you know you got to tell me something about your father because your father had to be so special to have a child like you who's the Dean of so many kids and your brother chief rabbi of England tell me something special about your father listen to what he said he said I want to tell you story that happened in October 1938 okay October 1938 that was a week before Kristallnacht which happened in November 1938 he said my father loved during the midst of cyka and any apartment that we ever moved to the first thing he wanted to see away could he build a Sukkah now we lived on the third floor he said and the guards the SS guards were already marching through the streets in Germany everybody was afraid to build a Sukkah because if they saw your souk on your porch they could come not only break it they could take you to jail lose your job who knows what they could do now we had on our porch was face the front street a retaining wall and my father measured it now listen to this who would ever think you know what the first mission in cyka says the first mission took who would ever when you learned is you think like whoever's gonna need this the highest the lowest the lowest Sucher that's that you're a lot of build has to be 40 inches I'd that's about what this is right here right from here to the floor could you imagine 40 inches so my father he says rabb-ul you're older code words he goes outside he measures that wall was 44 inches high so that nobody should fall off you know what he did he built a sucker 40 inches high a Sukkah 40 inches I put two inches of scratch on it and we sat in the sukkah every single meal we sent on pillows on the floor and we didn't miss one meal that's somebody who loves a mitzvah and he said of course we didn't sings mirus right but then he once sent me year's lady sent me pictures of the apartment building of course when you're looking up and you know it's 44 inches and the suckers 40 inches and 42 words half you can't see it but he was moisten efficient for the Mitzvah so I'll tell you what I told him inland of udderly which we still are saying touch me on saris it says like this until them curves I intoxicate ki it's been a knee Basuki when you conceal me in your shelter in your suka bo Amira oh yeah steer a knee and the day of evil I will conceal you you too will be concealed but say sir Oh Hawaii that's not the exact height in the plastic but I believe that whole family was saved the whole Jacobi woods family was saved perhaps they were saved because they felt protected in the sukkah they wanted to have the protection of the suka even in the most difficult times that shrimp said I'll take care of you I'm gonna protect you in the difficult times and that's an incredible thing if you imagine how the jacobins family observes the midst of suka because they saw how their father and grandfather enjoyed the mitzvah that's why we have these happy days between Yom Kippur and Hashanah raba you know why Hashem wants to see what's your happiness what do you consider important in life what brings a smile to your face what are you proud to do so tonight as we said before it's see Yuma that's the end that's the final seal or the final note as desire says in prophets office we said so you mother Dina the Alma so how we gonna get it I'm gonna get a great year I'll tell you the hover time tells us something amazing the hover time and it's safe for a Vanessa tells us oh my oh sorry leezar a person has to be very careful shall i yes I like me the sickness and I feel a method from tonight on if it's still possible not one they should go by for every man woman and child here that you don't do a resset for somebody else you don't do a kind deed for somebody else now I'm not talking husband's four wise wise small husband's that you got to do if you know what's good for you I'm talking about out of the house so people say earlier charity begins at home yeah but you don't become about custard because you made coffee for your spouse you have to train yourself not to let one day go by without a facet every day and write it down keep a notebook even if you do ten things don't write down ten things write down one thing you'll see after 40 days you're gonna become a

need you don't have to go out take a boy who's either from a broken family on simplest IRA so I just want to end with this story I told you a beautiful story about my mother who's your attack was just two days ago I want to tell you one of the greatest stories about my father that I find so inspirational because his yard site is Shoei neon saris many of you know that I've written a series of books called the market Series the markets leaks around the market stable the most recent one it's illuminations of the market and it all started because the market of your sam-i-am many many years ago in 1965 came to America now my father had never met Rob Shah Mardan who was the market of each lime but when he heard that he was coming he decided that he's got to stay in our home I said pop you don't even know him he doesn't know you how are you gonna get him to stay in your house he says don't worry my father took his own bed if he could believe it put it upstairs in the third floor in our home and put a second bed there because you know he was probably gonna come with somebody else and we go to the airport and we come to the airport and I'm showing star Drona I recognize because I had been in Israel that summer and he comes off the plane together with Rachelle Grossman and we walk over to him and I run by porush who was there from there Goethe says to a fellow Ralph Ebert who are these people he said no I was by there for Shabbos they would like Ron Perlman so I've grown to be there so they said if he said all that could you eat there he said yeah I was there they're wonderful people that year it could be he says you know it's so good that they could be there cause the apartment that we were sold to have for them in Borough Park it got it was given to somebody else cuz they were delayed in their trip by a day because of weather so the guy got rid of it so we need him to stay for a you know a day or two okay I'll never forget I was there my brothers were them my father was there my grandfather was there to go greet a person who we never saw before cuz he knew he was it sounds like he was a maggot he was a storyteller and a wonderful person we're on the way home I remember driving from Kennedy on the Varric Expressway my father says that I'm strong strong he says listen you're coming to our home I just want you to know that my home is your home any home run and the stringency that you have we will abide by you are taking over our home they looked at me said you don't know me like how are you doing this he said that's what we want you're our guest and you take over okay we're coming to the house and my father shows him you know the whole house he had built an extra room a big base tremendous alongside the house trap shelter I had never seen anything like this and it was just incredible and the two became playing to date they became like brothers very very close now reverse hard run was staying in America at least two or three months he ended up staying six but he thought he was gonna say two or three and he said to my father after two days he said why are you doing all this for me and my father put on a tape recorder and showed him that my cousin kind of an acumen had heard many many Sherman lectures from Ramachandran and sent the toss on cassette and my father said here I have these cassettes you don't know that they come to America but we love them and it was it wasn't even cassettes in those days it was reel-to-reel these little reel to reels so rubbish short run says to my father look I like being here I'm not gonna go to borrow but I've got to pay you rent my father said Brent I'm gonna take rent from a topic like you he said okay then I'm leaving I can't say it two three months without paying rent so my father said okay good I'll make a freshman my wife and I will make a freshman now the second part of the story I know from film so I've drawn not for my father I've shown him told me years later he said the next day your father came down and he gave now I knew that I want stay here he said and I figured you know what the price would be I thought of range and your father's price was so high I couldn't believe it how could he charge me that much but now was embarrassing I was I gonna say I don't want to pay you know what it's so embarrassing so I paid whatever he wanted and this went on for six months imagine that he stayed there for six months he traveled all around the country but he always came back I remember again going behalf sean/sharan wants to go back by boat he didn't want to go by plane he said it was too quick to go from the tomb of America to the kedusha barrel he needed some time to throw out he wanted to go by boat I remember we come into the cabin where Absalom was gonna be on that boat my father takes that number whoa and he gives it throughout my shot drunk he said what is this he says this is the money that you gave me you don't think I was gonna take money from you do you he said these are the exact bills I didn't even touch them I didn't spend it every penny that you ever gave me for rent this is it so Rob Sean Sean Sean said to my father rabbi from he said well I brought my got it I've gotta do something why did you charge me such a high amount you know what I thought of you you know I know I wanted a thing well you gave me such a high amount I couldn't believe I thought that we were so close and we aren't close why did you give me such a high amount you know my father told him he said because I knew that if you were paying a high amount that you felt you were paying a high amount you would do anything you wanted in this house see if you if I had given you a low amount you would feel well maybe I can't really do anything that I want like this you could do anything you want because you were paying for it at least you thought you were paying for it but I wouldn't take a penny for you that's that's it in other words he wasn't worried about his reputation what the man would think of him he wanted to make him feel so comfortable and I've just ended by telling you this it's hard to believe but because he went back by boat my father who had never been to Eretz Israel and didn't even have a passport at that time I remember Shabbos we were sitting at the table and he said to me mommy and I are going charity show we're gonna meet wrap show him coming off the boat and I never forget this my father went and of course he came to the house to meet her ever since rod roan inish a lion then they had to go up to Haifa and they went up to Haifa to meet up Sean now my father was a very sensitive person so he didn't want that wearing shell and stronger on came off the boat the first thing that he would see my father so he let rabbits Neutron and the whole family go up to see him and then reverences trod run said to rob Shalom he said you know there's somebody special here to see Oh your best friend came to seal so rabbi shredder and said that's impossible because I left my best friend in America and then my father came out and of course they hugged and kissed and unfortunately when my father came home from that trip that's when he got sick and he passed away within a few months after that but that relationship that we had that I'm showing stronger was cemented with that love and Festa that two great Jews had for each other so I tell you all this because tonight is a night when we have to grow and we have to change and we can be better because the Jews are the greatest nation in the world and we are the greatest people in the world when Hashem wants to do only good for us and he wants to see us do has it so he can do it for us Shem should bench each and every one of us Mahalo che yeah see God's Leah everything that we do should be without slow huh tomorrow davon well kiss the sukkah customers of the mezuzah of course kissed a little of kiss the history and kiss your kids don't forget and we should all have a great out slum huh and a wonderful din it should be a great year for Claudius Earl thank you [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
