Hoshana Rabbah: Starting Off on the Right Foot by Rav Ilan Meirov

[Music] Oceana Baba is day number 51 it's a fifty first day of teshuva of judgment that we started in the month of Elul so here we are at the finish line and many people always ask I understand we have Oceana was a Shia is what thank you what Shia is Judgment Day Yom Kippur is the Day everything is sealed so resolution I got to do it not shun rather come from what's significant about it what what kind of impact is I have in my life so I want to share with you a very small Michelle like he maybe give us a better perspective on his matter there was several Jewish families that got together they decided they wanted to live in a remote city away from all the noise in the balligan so they all move together to a certain neighborhood stress-free beautiful homes low taxes tabasum a lot but the problem was no Jewish comedian no Chernobyl tecna's it so these individuals were not able to raise funds to build up a pentakill etc so they decided they're going to get a temporary housing unit that would be shipped in ready-made and placed on a property that they purchased something simple so know what okay both Hashem the big day comes a truck brings this housing units there's a large crane that starts lifting up this house off the truck and slowly but surely is putting it down on the property there's eight huge workers two guys on each corner that are there trying to direct the house into exactly the spot that he has to go to they're moving it what's for here five inches there ten inches here for twenty thirty minutes these eight guys are trying to maneuver this housing unit while it's in the air to make sure when they put it down it goes on the right spot mmm at the oka shame mission accomplished they guide it to the right position everyone starts clapping everyone's all excited and now comes along the electricians and the plumber they get everything set up the oka shame the shoes ready to be used the committee is all proud of themselves and they call up the rabbi could alive rabbi please come check out our new show we want you to see it the rabbit comes in everyone's all excited to see his reaction he walks into this new housing units and in three seconds he gives him this semi dirty look ah rabbi what happened and the rabbi says rabbit I I warned you ten times we have to pray towards the east why did you put the housing unit without one a college is going to be placing the West you put it in the wrong direction my seat then what did you do and the president looks at the vice president and he blames him and the treasurer and this guy everyone's blaming each other and comes along with Hakam this wise guy says hey everyone calm down why don't we get those eight guys those eight strong guys that were working here that's a signature around who will put it back in the position you wanted rabbi no problem they look at this guys like Aviva you serious when the housing unit was in the air were able to tilt it and move it around once they put it down and especially when they put in the pipes and electrical units it's ready to late it is what it is no Ivan Abu tayi and all Rosh Hashanah everything was hanging in the air a person's livelihood this fella NASA health everything is in the air comes along and keep all that's already set down they put it down onto the ground they seal it quote unquote but Oshana Obama live in Abu tayi they're putting in the pipes and they point together electricity before they finish the piping we can still try to maybe make some changes in and and and maneuver things around but once that's done it's very difficult to make any more changes that's the power of Abu Talha channel ABBA even if we shall overcome him tell us god forbid something negative or sealed on Yom Kippur oh shut up about we have the opportunity we have that last second chance to make a change before all is said and done to make you in a sense a little better I'll give you another example a very interesting story there was a little boy a little boy that d'italia know I'll have unfortunately when he was four or five years old his father passed away shemesh well then when he was about eight or nine years old his mother suddenly passed away so we have a Adam a completely atone and no father no mother he's only nine years old his mother's buried as every Schmo and now there's a Shiva the seven days of mourning and the family is debating who's gonna adopt the child no father no mother who's taking this child in who's gonna become his new parents so the brother of the father the uncle of the boy says let's say I'll take care of him I have a nice big house I'll give him his old room I'll make him feel at home I'll give him the love and care that he needs let me adopt the child then comes along the sister of the mother the aunt of the boy no I would not the child I know exactly how his mother used to run the house are given that same love and warmth I'll make him feel at home he'll think I'm his mother and that's how good I'm gonna be with him comes along the older brother of this same child who died lobelia he who hears me he is my flesh and blood I should be adopting the child so you have the problem of the father the sister of the mother and the actual brother of the 8-year old boy the nine year old boy back in force discussions everyone's arguing everyone wants to take the boy the rabbi says
