like to welcome everyone to tonight's
sheer from iregan shiratari's annual
summer program
right through the big issue cast of mr
mrs mathis abram of family
is
on the broadcast have the great source
of sponsoring
share of call ignorance your entire
718-851-8651 or email ist at
yeshivanet.com
tonight we have to cover that with us
once again rabiyana tamri yeti
noted speaker speaking what do you mean
live in the now
when else can i live it's my cover to
cornrow by ready for tonight's russia
good evening i'd like to tell you turn
your cell phones on to vibrate out of
respect to those
who are trying to fall asleep uh
pleasure to be here again thank you very
much to rabbi bald for inviting me
robert deutsch for all the arrangements
every year with all the
uh duplication uh there's course of
of of harabin the many people that
benefit from the shurim should be
uh making on all the khila here and also
your very good selves for
for the serious nephesh you have to put
this all together on main
what does it mean to live in the now
there is no other time to live in
it's a it's an expression that's become
very popular
and uh i want to explore it a little bit
further
i've got good news and bad news and
better news which do you want to hear
first
okay the truth is you're going to see
that none of them are really bad news
but the bad news is you're going to die
the bad news is you're born
to die from the moment of conception
birth onwards the clock is ticking
until mayor versus 120 so
that's if you want to call it the bad
news the good news
is the real you is not your body
the real new the real you is your
neshama yonashama never
dies the body yes
the better news is that even the body
is returned to you at kirsten mason and
so in that sense
we're good in that sense
even the bad news is really
only from our perspective and what i'm
really describing here
is really three realities
there's my reality the way i look at the
world and think it is
there's your reality the way you look at
the world and think it is
and then there's hashem's reality which
is the
and only reality and when i got sparkle
gave us his terror
what is in a certain sense doing is
giving us access to his reality
so the definitions of god's reality
is his terror terrorism
and in that sense anything we want to
try and define
we really need to go and ask okay so
what does the turk
say this really is so hakarsbaku goes
out of his way
and according to many it's one of the
six
constant mitzvahs even though if you
really look carefully
there are a lot more than six but i'm
not going there now it's not it's not
tonight's
discussion but lord taturu aha levathen
we say every day very few
are part of our daily filler that's a
health
we actually have an absolute obligation
to say these three paragraphs
and the last paragraph of shmei swell
contains this
mitzvah tamidi constant mitzvah every
waking second of our lives
don't follow lu taturu
i'm not going to translate the word lay
as according to its popular translation
i'm going to call it going to kazaal
because i'll tell us the word laive
means das ebene ezra
on that passage
means mind rubbed by victor miller of
blessing memory talks about this
frequently that the word leave
unfortunately we're stuck with a
christian-based translation that's
always
always translating his heart but the
majority of times it means
mind or thought whenever the word leave
is doubled over it means
thoughts it's plural
those are the only eyes and thoughts
i've got so what do you mean don't
follow
my thoughts the best slime says please
learn my torah all tariq mitzvahs
so that when you get to lo taturu you'll
know what you're looking at
if it's real or not you'll know what to
think
and the pastor actually says
you will look at that thread of takaylas
or at the sit sis
us versailles
you'll remember all my messages
and be able to do them there's no next
possum
the next words are part of this bosok
oh because i've injected in my mind
your torah and mitzvahs oh so now when i
look at something
i know whether i'm supposed to think
about it or not
and there are many mincers of the mind
that i got a sparkle warns me
don't go there resentment lo tito
nakama don't go there lotisna
don't go there hatred complaining
in acre parrot gimmel i think pasta
glamour test
what does someone who's alive have to
complain about
he wants to complain okay i'll give you
what to complain about says
that's the only legitimate complaint
to complain about my own mistakes
not yours not anybody else's
there are many mixes of the mind we've
talked about this in previous years
that's not tonight's
presentation tonight's presentation is
what does it mean to live in the now
there is no other time to live in
you've got your reality i got mine and
you've got yours
it's actually right at the beginning of
the whole of shas almost the first
sugiya
actually duff gimmel in brachus right at
the bottom going on to dial it
says there are three reasons you're not
allowed to go
into a horrible into a ruin reason
number one
it's dangerous there might be falling
rocks you know you don't know
if the structure is really
safe so number one it's dangerous
number two hey there might be a zoina a
lady
over there what what's the person going
into into
oh is make a liaison number three
there are shade him shin dallas i
shouldn't say at night time
demons so mufasa tell us
these are the three realities because
the gemara actually asked why do i need
three reasons one should be enough it
goes through every possible combination
but listen to the three realities from
my reality
oh my gosh it's dangerous don't go there
but if i'm going in there and someone
else is looking what's
what's he coming in there for so in his
mind
oh he's got a meeting with someone
husband
but rebellion he's got a separate
reality
which you and i can't see and that
is there might be shindalas there that
are dangerous and can harm a person
so i'm just courting out tomorrow as an
example of where there are three
realities but it's only really one
reality
but you and i still have to deal with
each other's realities but they're
separate they're not the same
so from hashem's perspective
we're here for 120 years then there's
supposed mesa but the mesa only lasts
for maximum till threesome asim
and kisamayasim is coming very soon you
we are now in the earth
5781 because that'll tell us i think
it's gamora and sanhedrin around about
sardic sign going to sadekes
that the way we know it the world is six
thousand years that's the cut-off line
mashiach
and some asian has to be by then so
you're getting really close so
hold on uh some asians coming in a
cemetery near you
soon
that's not actually accurate because
it's going to take place in eric's swell
and and anyone who's buried here will
roll over there
i hope it'll be first class uh whatever
whatever is the uh the method so comes
along hazal
and warns us this world is temporary but
from a kadash baraku's perspective
when we mourn death when we mourn a loss
when we mourn
tragedy when we suffer yesurin
from a kardash's perspective it's
actually
only for our benefit and death is not
real it's real to us because we think it
is but it's not part of his dictionary
because there's a mason is for how long
when yeshayan navi says
hashem is going to swallow what a
metaphor the moment you swallow the food
that's that's the end of it as far as
you're concerned
your pleasure began here ends here the
true value of the food begins here
onwards
but kulshbacher uses this as a metaphor
billaha
netsaq hashem will swallow death
forever um
and all tears of pain
will be wiped off our faces the only
tears we'll ever have
moving into the future from trees
amazing onwards tears of joy
simcha so even what you and i see as
tragedy death
illness suffering that is purely
our reality but hashem says
this world is only good really
really we're going to get to it so let
me share with you a marshall i saw the
this and i think in in dallas of sierra
kaidesh
fascinating muscle very simple muscle
i'm going to slightly embellish it
a person has been sentenced to
death that's the final verdict
and he's taken into the muscles about a
a carriage is like 200 years ago so i'm
just going to pretend it's an armored
car
he's taken into an armored car to the
gallows
just before he gets in he asks the
driver
how how how long is the journey from
here to he wants to know when he's going
to die
so the driver says well actually it
depends on the judge because there are
quite a few locations
that you could be hung it might be a
minute away there's one that close
there's one that's about an hour
and there's another like a few days days
of journey
so so which one will it be i wonder how
long he's still gonna live for
he says well it depends on the judge so
he gets into the
into the armored car and just this is my
embellishment just pretend it's a smart
car what does that mean well um
in this armored car is a
internet access um unlimited netflix
uh movies galore any magazine you can
pull up on a screen and read it
to your heart's content they've even got
a helmet which is a 3d
virtual reality helmet i don't know if
every view of any
worn one they are fascinating you wear
this helmet
and with the controls you can choose
let's say
um i don't know outer space so you
choose to be out of space and all of a
sudden
you're you actually see
three-dimensional and you oh my gosh you
look down and there's nothing there
just stars in the far distance you turn
around it makes no difference where you
turn
you'll see different planets and stars
and you think you you you you have this
demon
in your imagination you have no ground
to stand on and you can actually lose
your balance because when you look down
you realize
your feet aren't on anything solid your
brain tells you but you know you are and
this is just in your imagination
you can go to grand canyon you can go in
over
you can go anywhere you want with this
3d virtual reality
um you have a cell phone there with all
the names of all your contacts
and all your emails and um
listen uh there's a there's a bathroom
microwave
there's a replenishing refrigerator
which means as soon as you take a drink
out
a new drink is put in its place and the
same with food
so that whoever designed
this armored car on its way to the
gallows
ensured that you're not only having
comfort but you have luxuries
so let me ask you the person
who has just been given the verdict he's
going to die
and is on the way to the gallows how is
he going to spend
his last minutes hours possibly days in
this armored car
checking his emails every few minutes uh
watch a movie read a mod
a novel go through it flick through a
magazine
make some phone calls
or is he gonna open if he's allowed to
take a telling with him
or just pour his heart out to kaja
bharara penchalam
please let this be a copara for all my
mistakes in my life
please eventually if there's any
possibility because david malek says it
that even if even if a sword is right on
my neck
and i have a split second left of my
life revenge leila
i'm going to still hold out
for you maybe you'll save me in the last
second
never give up and so he starts darkening
that maybe the king
will commute his sentence his death
sentence
or maybe the judge will i don't know
rescind the entire
death penalty so
gentlemen and ladies
what's the nimsho it's very simple
our nashamah is take is brought down
here from
based in chilmala where it's decided how
long we're going to be in
prison we're we're born
to die and i'm not saying it to catch
your attention it's simply the reality
nobody escapes this world alive cause
i'll tell us there were nine exceptions
we're not talking about
them we've got hanay
probably the most the most famous we're
not referring to those exceptions
all the other billions of human beings
born into this world
died
and while we're in this prison and it's
not really the perfect martial
however khazal do tell us i think it's
our voice pair of gimbal around about uh
mishna tazhayan depending on which
edition you have
matsuda furusa
mitsuta there's a trap frusta that
spread out alcohol
on every human being who's alive
and the ghazal tell us look at the rav
about to know he's quoting khazal
what's the matsuda fruits of this trap
that spread over anybody who's alive
yesurin umisa suffering and death
it's impossible to escape
so while we're in we're traveling this
armored smart car which is
brilliantly designed so brilliantly
designed that it's
extraordinarily distracting and there's
a lot of places to visit there's a lot
of things to read and there's a lot of
things to learn that could distract me
from
da silo kim please fill your mind
with my mitzvahs with my minds so that
when you're looking at this world
you'll know what to look at what not to
what to think what not to
lo taturu don't go touring the word tour
comes from in english the word tour
comes from
go after my mind the way i see the world
so what is this person gonna do we all
know the answer
he knows he's going to die and he
doesn't know when it might be an hour a
minute
a day but the absolute max is 120 years
till he gets to the death penalty
now maybe it sounds like so what
uh it really still is a beautiful world
and that's true
but here's here is god's reality this
world is a prison
it's a corridor a reception room
before the truckline in front of the
banquet and the only way you can get to
the bank of it hall is through the
prison
and here is where i heart ken arsenica
interesting language hatken is a lotion
of tikkun which has the meaning of both
preparation
and fixing in the words of rabbi victor
miller this world olam hazel is one
big hospital we're all
suffering from some sort of illness
whether it's kaas
anger gaiver rahman islam
i actually believe that my success is
because of
my intelligence or my thinking or
the things that i brought around in
business
that is simply my false reality
in god's reality he was making all the
connections mazavik zavugim
he's bringing everyone around whether
it's a business
opportunity whether it's an actual
marriage whether it's the children that
are gifted to us it's all a pure
gift guyver is shekel
there's one of the two guy and casts of
the only two that rambam
in hillcrest days i think parrot base
halacha base tells us
uh you have to go to the opposite
direction and have
no mean no middle road no middle road
that's my you've got to go to the other
extreme
why cause is never
justified because it's a complaint
every single complaint we had in the
midbar we paid the price for
some of those complaints we're still
paying the price for
miraculous especially los angeles is a
complaint
that if if i were running the show
rapunzel let me show you how it ought to
go
that's a way to zara that's why it's
equated to avoid zoro
geyver is just simply shekker it's not
true natira
remembering other people's faults that's
that's that's shecher that's my reality
but in god's reality he wants me to be
without her
and to be michael and move on
every single middle ra
is ultimately a complaint so comes along
because allen warned me that i'm here to
fix myself i got 120 years to do it
let's figure out together how much will
the richest man in the graveyard pay for
one more day
he could come back alive for one more
day how much would he pay
for those still awake how much would he
pay
no value it'll pay everything now let me
ask you how much
how much value does one minute or even
one second have
so i did this last year so i'm going to
run through it very fast
if haas for shalom a jew's life is in
danger and you have a chance to save him
but the only way you can do it
is to be mikhail shabas do you have an
obligation
to break every single one of the melakas
of shabbas to save his life yes or no
absolutely now i'm just speaking
theoretically
if the only way to save this jew was to
be
violate every single love every single
aveira in the torah
bar three except for murder guillories
and and avoided zara but except for
those three
would you have an obligation to save his
life yes or no
yes you still have to be break every
mitzvah in the torah and
beam of battle all the assays as well
and what let's just listen theoretically
if every single jew in the world
had to be michal's shabbos break every
aveira in the toe except for three
to save one person's life and everyone
knew
that you would only succeed in savings
life for one second
would there be an obligation
theoretically speaking would there be an
obligation for every jew to
be makala shabbos and ivan every avera
in the turret bar three to save one
jew's life for one second yes or no
so the question now begs big question
how could all the availas
in the torah bar three and all the
assays
beam of battle and shabbos mikhail
shabas
and that would be outweighed by one
person's life for one second
you'd only succeed in saving his life
for one second
why would that all be outweighed by one
second of a jew's life
what can a person accomplished in one
second
oh one here of teshuva
one thought of i'm sorry one thought i
want to come back to you
one thought of regret of any mistakes
i've made in my life
it's already worth it oh
when am i supposed to do tuva yesterday
tomorrow
when's the only time i live i only live
today
which hour of today do i live now i'm
i'm in right now
do i live hour to hour to hour or minute
minute to minute or
moment from moment to moment oh
yesterday never exists never it might be
a memory
and i might be stupid enough please be
mocking me really stupid enough
to talk about yesterday and talk about
it and talk about it and talk about it
and vent with lots of people even pay
money to talk about it
so if the person who's supposed to be
the professional and helps me
take whatever lesson i need from
yesterday move it forward
go there otherwise because i'll say
murder have a harvard
what happened happened as rashi says
there in the gemara in yuma
duff hey i believe it is
oh what do we have to ask questions
about it what are you going to yesterday
for
it happened already ma it's gone
history later on in the same
sector yuma where they use hazal use the
same expression
however it happens gone finished rashi
asks
says a different comment but similar
similar idea
and what is that
russia says
ef zera it's impossible
to bring it back it happened
but if i spend time in my memory
thinking
and talking about yesterday i'm wasting
the only time
i live in if i worry about tomorrow
am i living now
if i'm going on and on and on about
yesterday am i living now
in the sunset i'm actually wasting the
only time i exist in which is now
and i'm not just talking about a moment
in time i'm talking more about what i'm
thinking
in the now so let me share with you
when we talk about the value of a moment
one here of teshuva is everything
yashayawa navi had to spell it out to us
famous parsock
we actually just said it a couple of
days ago in haftar for
a fast day it's from nun hey
and it goes from till
past
search hashem out when he can be found
that's really everywhere all the time
because i'll tell us
that hashem so to speak is more
intensely found during our session may 2
verse sorry
is this good
um so search him out when he can be
found
beyond while he's close while he's still
close yeah
let the wicked person let go yazai
let go completely forsake his way
the ish aven and the person whose oven
oven is a lotion of mitchell
who stumbles with his thoughts anger
skyver nutera
nakama oh my gosh remembering
mistakes i made yesterday and beating
myself up over it to the point that it
brings me down
i fall into years i'll never be able to
change
yeah the ish
is not a russia but he allows his
thoughts
to take over his mind
the yasha of el hashem come back to me
says hashem
virahameo and he will have rahmim
they'll allocaine will come back to our
power
of all powers
his his forgiveness is abundant
and this is the passage i wanted to get
to because my thought says
the way i think is not your reality
your ways are not my ways
the same distance from earth to the ends
of shamayim
that distance is not as much as the
distance between
the way i run the world and the way you
think it's being run
um the distance between earth and the
ends of the heavens
is less than my the way i think mi
maksha will say
from the way you think says rashi
and then we're showing him on this
passage it's talking about teshuva
says rashi if a king
has someone rebel against him the king
has no choice he has to cut off his head
even if the guy says i'm sorry that i
cursed you dear king and i'm sorry
please forgive me
even if the king wants to forgive him he
has to cut his head off he's he can't it
can't be merkel
says parkou i'm not like that you can
hustle charlemagne
you can curse and you can live a whole
life
against me and in one moment do you say
sorry
i'll take you back and i'll forgive you
for everything listen to the language of
rashi
it doesn't help i've i'm i've tried so
many times
no more lush and horror and it comes out
the next time someone's name is
mentioned i just can't
hold myself back i fall into sinner i
fall into nathira i fall into
makhalakis rahman al-islam comes among
akades parkhu
through rashi and tells us
you think teshuva ain't
[Music]
but by me it helps enormously
rav nakamura breslav in secrets iran i
think he's in racial armadv
he brings that one burn in gehennam
is worse than all the yesurin
combined of a lifetime
it's worth to come into this world for
one hero of teshuva
because that gets eternity how much
eternity quantitatively wise
hashem will decide but it's it's worth
eternity
and every mistake in this world there's
a price
gehennam next 12 months and then
eternity for what starting with one here
of teshuva it's already worth it to come
here
why am i sharing this with you because
akanesh park who has
his reality you and i have our reality
and the only reason i would not think of
saying eventually i love you please
forgive me all my favorites
and do it every single day just even
walking on the streets getting on a bus
waiting at the light and just speak to
hashem saying revenge shalom
help me do chuva help me i can't even
remember all my favorites but help me
that is just the words that's already
beyond thinking
certainly thinking is all is also the
hero of teshuva
makes all the difference and says
goddess barku
i want you to know that the difference
between
planet earth its surface and the
furthest most point in the heavens
is less of a distance than the way i
think and the way you think because you
and i
think oh i have so far gone
into all the different mistakes i've
made i'll never be able to turn this
marriage around i'll never turn that kid
around
and akash bhagava says change the only
person i'm capable of changing because
when i change the way i think
you will pick up on that kane adam adam
kamayama nipah came later adam just like
waters
don't deviate the way you smile or frown
at the water it reflects your smile
exactly as you
look at the waters cane lava adam ladam
so is the mind of one person to another
[Music]
i think that's second best to mushroom
in a certain sense if you think about it
you can be soymach navi is telling you
hashem's mindset a person hustle shalom
could have a life
of doing terrible availas and hashem
says please come back to me
and the only reason i wouldn't come back
is because i don't believe
my teshuva will make any difference and
hashem says even one thought makes a
difference
humor famous gomorrah
paiva muddalaf
oh do we need this one teshuva is very
great it brings the goola
sooner closer amaresh lakish
gudaila
can be turned around and it's counted as
a show gig
that's huge a person kills on purpose
and now wishes it was an accident it's
counted as an accident
which he never did it it's counted as an
accident it's a completely different
irish for the person who is caught
killing on purpose
and with hasra he can get mesa arab and
mrs bastin
and for someone who accidentally killed
he goes to
ari miklot one of the cities of safety
and if the next day the kind god will
dies he's free
and the only difference is over here but
comes along khazal and tells us
that when a person does teshuva meera
hashem counts all the available done and
burst
past that were done on purpose becomes a
show gig
adds on rash lakish
sorry now the game ruby yanatan
[Music]
is
hashem will take whichever minus side of
the scale
that aveira was on minus five minus ten
minus a thousand minus a million
and puts it on the other side of the
scale plus a million
whoa that makes no
sense well precisely because you and i
we live in a reality
that's not hashem's reality in hashem's
reality
that is a 100 ms and it's the
only ms
when we forgive another jew whether it's
in silence or
verbally or openly to their face
it makes a difference to our muscle it
changes our muscle
calms and now rabbi yonatan good allah
to show us
noise
could realize they're in a serious
danger and in one second
they could do teshuva and hashem could
add on years
you probably heard the story of one of
the bakrim in
who felt that this was his last breath
and he made a promise that if hashem
would save him
in his mind he said if you save me i
promise never to speak
in shul ever again only filler on the
torah
and the split second later he was
grabbed
from the back and pulled out before he
suffocated under more people falling
and he attributes that sudden being
pulled out
from this nader he made in his mind
one moment of teshuva can
change the expiration date on a person's
life in this world and now comes rebbe
mayer
this tops them all forgive me for saying
so if i'm allowed to say
godaila teshuva teshuva is so great
shibishvil yakid for one person
that if he does to shuver mercury
hashem will forgive him and the entire
world
rambam pascons this case where he offers
the possibility
where imagine you've got hashem on
hadin measuring all the availables and
mitzvahs of the whole world
and they're perfectly equal
it will take one here of teshuva to
change the balance
one person's one moment of teshuva
literally can
tip the scale and save the whole world
and bring makilaf the whole world
is that a good deal do i have to wait
till yom kippur to do teshuva
or that's just a day hashem was miyaked
he designated
this is a day that if i didn't for a
reason but teshuva is a mitzvah tamidi
a number of roshanim count the midst of
teshuva
as constant it applies every second of
one's waking life i mentioned much
earlier i'm not going into it but i know
the rebecca of
uh shlita um
um
were all asked the same question why
does the safe only single out six
minutes was tamidi
when if you look at all the mania
mitzvahs of tariq mitzvahs you'll see
they're about
60 6-0 mitzvahs to medi
it's amazing but i'm not going to and
they all answered they don't know the
answer
i heard this from rabbi david wax who uh
heads the
tariak foundation and he asked this
kasha to to those good islam many years
ago
the midst of teshuva applies any time
no limitations no conditions
okay so ruben shalom how hard is teshuva
in your dictionary
so karish baku didn't wait for ghazal to
spell it out in the gumma numa
he spells out in the torah itself parikh
lahmad
pasak yudhalat in devarim
i'm going to start from pasukkudalev but
that's the context of it
now is the famous ramban and rashi
hamitzvah's ice is it talking about
torah or is he talking about teshuva
elegantly there are there are those who
explain
there's no mark locus why because
khazal tells us you'd sign
the purpose of wisdom and rashi there
tells us
referring to torah so the purpose of
torah tactless
to shuver um terebim is for me to
correct myself
and do better deeds behave better so the
whole purpose of learning torah
is for me to improve myself so really
it's not a mahalakis
rashi and ramban it's because the
the purpose of learning is in order to
do hashem's watson
and part of that is of course teshuva
but putting that aside
let's look at the context of this
mitzvah and how hashem describes it
when is today today this is not written
at the time
just for marsha bana when the day he
wrote it no this is every single day
that we would ever read this that's when
it's applicable oh that's today
which hour of today this morning
that's happened already mata avahava has
happened
and now from now i don't know what's
going to be an hour from now
no one knows when their last breath will
be i don't know what's going to be an
hour from now
oh so when is haiyom the only time i'm
living in today
which is right now
it's not in the heavens lame or that you
would have to now say
me llano who's going to go up for us
i shall maim all the way into the
heavens
and bring it down bring it down the
midst of teshuva
it's not that far
it's not across the oceans lame or that
a person would be forced to say
miyaba no el eva yam some people in
those days
if they didn't follow kazaal actually
thought the world was flat they were too
they were afraid to go too far out
into the ocean who's going to go across
the ocean and get the midst of teshuva
so i can do tuchuma
we can bring it to us
so we can listen to it and do it
concludes the passage these are the
words of akash barakumi
banu's pen the khana the quill
kikarai failed
this item is exceedingly close to you
now if hashem says it's close that's
good enough but if he says it's kara
vyaleka
night it's exceedingly close to you it's
got to be it can't it can't be in my
pocket
even though that's close it can't be in
my home
it can't be in the room it can't be in
something i carry around with me
it's in your mouth to say one word i
made a mistake
i'm sorry and in your thoughts
la say sorry so karish baku spells it
out
the mitzvah
is any time any place no
conditions no limitations
i didn't get time to look up where it
was so big for me but i know it's in
there
he says one of the reasons why we have a
cure to learn to react mitzvahs
is because i need to know what to do to
before so i have to know
that's why they're in the same passage
lot of tourism
means well first of all uber is saying
look at the that's it says which remind
me of tarak mitzvahs
very similar and now same pasok no comma
no full stop no period velosha suru now
you'll know
what to not think and what to think what
to look at
that's okay and what's not okay
so says rabino yana how can i do tube if
i don't know what the mitzvahs
are so that's why teshuva mits was a
high nuchaq
martial god i've quoted this before so
i'm going to mention it
in a few seconds adam arishan if he only
said
one word when hashem asked him ayaka
where are you
instead of him giving a whole speech
when he's asked
hamila it's it possible that from the
tree i asked
i instructed you not to eat from you ate
and he was being invited to say one word
had he said that one wordy
on that passage says he would have been
forgiven
major god adds that if hava had said one
word
hashem would have been michael both of
them
up big time i mentioned last year
i'm just i'm only going to mention i'm
not going to go into any detail
evan ezens
you've got a person who's a russia
gamora russia
gomur and he says to an isha haryat
mikudashi
but almanas you are married to me
with this pruta or this ring almanas on
condition
that i'm a totally righteous individual
everyone knows he's a russia
what's the halacha miku dashes
it's a valid marriage why
so in the gemara in kadusan mem tess
where this gemara is brought it says
shema here
to shuba badasso because perhaps he had
a thought
of teshuva in his mind
exactly in same words only interchanges
the word dars and leif
because they're interchangeable they
mean the same thing shema
here to shiva beliboy one
thought counts
in hashem's dictionary because halakhah
is his dictionary
prepare yourself fix yourself while
you're in the push door
kadeshi tikkanese
one hour it's beautiful
excuse me the crying
to lives i've said it before there's no
word for life in los angeles because
there's no such thing
there's no such thing that's a christian
translation rahman al-islam we're stuck
with it
but when she comes it's possible in
spanish
tess one of the newest when she comes is
the entire world will be switched
from 70 languages actually we know it's
close to
6 000 languages of all their dialects
will be changed back to safa akas
which khazal tell us is referring to los
angeles but until then we're stuck with
lakayam being translated to life and
doesn't mean that it means to lives
we don't believe in one life there is no
such thing as a life there's a lame and
there's
our translations are not deliberately
deceiving us
but it's a decoy from a huge hush gotha
a huge hush guffer this is not the real
world this is
a pros door it's like it's it's the
carriage
on the way to the death penalty 120
le
one hour of teshuva and my centaurum in
this world
is worth more than we call
whoa really
and what's the converse of the of this
statement
means lives of that means every single
human being's life
of pleasure he had in this world
of every single jew every single gentile
combined
can you imagine that combine that
pleasure into one hour
whoa can you imagine that you wouldn't
need any
fiction to entertain you for that hour
your mind would be
filled with the pleasure that every
human being ever experienced
over their lifetime and the billions and
billions possibly a trillion i don't
know how many billions of people have
walked this planet since the beginning
of
sixth day of creation would not equal
one hour of cairo doesn't say one hour
one
kaira surah because there's no time in
ulam one karasu
of alam wow
of teshuva question when is that shah
akhas
when yesterday
tomorrow yesterday never exists
don't go there you want to go there only
go there if you're going to learn
how to be better moving forward but if i
go there and talk about it and talk
about it
and analyze and figure out it was now i
understand because
my parents was so abusive
they messed me up big time i'm so
confused and now i
had such a good session today because
now i found out that my
grandparents are the problem they
started it with my parents and now look
at me that's why i'm such a mess
i've shared with you this before my
rebbe calls it watering the weeds you
see a weed in your garden
and you go into your house take out
water and
pour it on the weed is that logical
or is that illogical that's ill
logical that doesn't make any sense
why would i water the weeds
move on all right that's for a different
discussion
but yafesh is not referring to yesterday
it's not referring to tomorrow
it's referring to the only hour i live
in
famous story on the passage
famous story if today you will listen to
his voice
and what's the story it's brought in
sanhedrin
is standing uh he he goes past
the the cave of the rashby
and standing there at the entrance to
the caver is none other than elio navi
so i'm sure the navy he's got akasha uh
elio navi when's moshia coming so
january says
ask him yourself ask him directly
so he told him where to find him and the
summoning to know who he is
you should be navy goes to that place
asked says hi
i'm coming today so if she was very very
very excited it goes back to rab
shimbaicai
but the day passed and he goes back to
the cave of robb shimbakai and he says
to elijah navi
eliana says what did he say what didn't
she tell you said he told me
sheker sheikha what'd he say he said
hiyom and that's already yesterday
let me explain what he meant i'll
explain the words
i like if you listen to
hashem's voice today i'm going to bring
the geology
yakutsumani on the same passage rabbenu
akadesh the author of mishnayas
just one day in front of a kardash
when is today well started this morning
yeah but that's not where i am now i'm
i'm only here now
in this place and this time and that's
now but the place i experienced the now
is not in time and space that's where my
body is then the sharma which powers my
mind which is the icca adam is your
darce your mind
oh what's going on over here
from moment to moment to moment how
should i spend
those few minutes hours days in the
smart
armored car on the way to the gallows
how should i spend it complaining
about my parents rahman al-islam
complaining about my siblings
or my mother in law my father-in-law
complained about my brother-in-law my
sister-in-law complained about
my teachers and messed me up in school
and and my boss my client my co-workers
complaining is that what i'm here for
hakadosh park already screamed out
through your yahoo navi
what has someone who's alive got to
complain about
says i think it's rashi or the radak
quoting on that passage in
perimeter
and you're still complaining
one second i can take the nishama away
what am i complaining about is that how
am i going to spend
the precious minutes in that armored car
fooled by the sheker of erlam hazel and
the demianus
checking my email every three four
minutes checking my phone every two
minutes
really have you seen people walking the
streets looking at their phones crossing
the roads looking at their phones
at the traffic lights looking at their
phones
so let me ask you walking into the
elevator walking out the elevator in the
elevator
all of a sudden isn't that amazing what
a muscle husker
the every moment is utilized
where's my mind where's my mind
my mind could be with i got goddess
barricade too
oh by titback one attack mitzvahs which
is another one that's not counted by
hinok
but uh is a mr tamidi every second of
one's life
thinking about hashem i love you thank
you thank you for
whatever it is that i'm being grateful
to you for
so i'm gonna come to a difficult
question
who knows who knows
in this room listening to this shirt
when their last
breath will be 45 people in the run
did they know that in a matter of
seconds or minutes
would be their last breath the few
people rahman islam that were crushed
in give up zev did they know it was
going to be their last breath
last week 12 stories comes
crushing down while they were asleep
most likely 1 30 am in the morning most
likely they were asleep
i may have been awake for a split second
in the sensation
of realizing the the floor the walls
were moving and suddenly everything
collapsed
and within seconds who knows
when their last breath will be if hazal
tell us
there's no such thing and i'm going to
please free mock me i'm not going to
translate it according to
the english translations puranat in
latin of khazal
is payment it's a payback
for something i owe aing purana
now that's talking about when things
happen that are tragic
to the nations that is for me to hear
who's the me a non-from jew who never
went to yeshiva
doesn't know any hashtag has never
learned
torah who's he talking to oh the from
yidden
says rashi the purpose of tragedy in the
non-jewish world
is for us to take to heart and be in
fear
that could happen to us and do teshuva
call the heimer when it's sold local
and it's so clearly it's not a terrorist
attack
and even if one wants to fall into the
sheker please be mocking me for saying
this
the shekel saying well the structure
actually was
not properly in shape it
it's it's been sinking a millimeter a
year
and uh the reports have shown that in
engineering
that there's a lot of erosion so the the
building was not really a hundred
percent safe
all that's in that's in man's reality
in god's reality nobody would be taken
before
their time unless it's part of god's
perfect scheme
how much more so is that for me
to live with teshuva and i'm not talking
about
beating my chest every day with here
one here of the shoe is already worth it
to halal cause i'll famously say i'll
call nishimonoshima
the last words the last breath of
tehillim
on every single nishima tahalka
thank hashem when is that last breath
well how does tehillim in ashrae end the
it's actually not in us we say in our
shape but it's borrowed from
a different possum later uh before i
think of tesla
um the passage says
what does mean
from now oh
the moment i know i live now not
yesterday not tomorrow
not an hour ago not a minute ago not a
minute from now not now go i
only live now why where's my mind going
to be
from now when is my utter
every moment every moment i'm
complaining
is a waste of the now every moment
i'm blaming is a waste of the only now i
living
there every moment of accusing every
moment of
shalom ernest varim hurting people with
words lush and horror
that's how i'm gonna spend the
few minutes to the gallows in this
carriage in this
armored car i'm gonna that's
i don't know how i'm gonna long be i'm
gonna be here but as long as i am
here why am i spending my mind on mach
like us
looking at nashem in ways that are not
permitted
hatred senate nutera
listening to the news the news
what's news about it what's reliable
about it
they're reading the minds of upper
cursing please be working me
who don't even believe in hashem
so let me share with you 3 33 years ago
12 weeks 4 days and
14 hours and 33 minutes ago
we crossed the yamsuf and we made a
blunder
in kamaihu because i'll give us a
scathing criticism
of a missed opportunity
and it wasn't a small thing here we are
at the yamsef
after 10 marcos
and we see the mitsrim drowned
we come out of the amsaf and we sing as
yashiya
and we blew it we blew it
we sang asyasha from navoor where did we
blow it
the magilta says the following partials
bashar allah on
that was a collective navoor of all
israel
and yet hazal tell us escaping criticism
had changed one word and said hashem
melech
no nation will have ever had any control
over us
and no language i'm not going to go into
it now
but i understand that on its simple
meaning that we would be talking in los
angeles instead of english
and we would never translate arturo in
any other language
because that is a travesty of justice
the moment we translate altera
we are literally creating another
religion
go to the source of the words use the
translation until you know how to learn
latin and akadish but don't rely on the
translation that's not
how we're supposed to be learning torah
no language would have ever been a decoy
to our hashgather
and no nation would have had any control
over us
no corbin by solution no called my shiny
no gollus
whoa we made a mistake we said hashem
you'd like
you will be king like in the future
where am i now says a goddess morocco
you didn't didn't i give you enough of a
demonstration that i'm with you now
so what's hazal's ticking for this
and the obvious answer is well let's
let's say you're with us now
so look look at davening khazal will
cover
all of all of the the siddha you look at
davening and you will see
came up throughout the entire theme of
davening
is a tikkun for this mistake you know
have you noticed it's the tense is out
of order
it should be hashem he was king hashem
is king and he will be king and yet we
start off he is king
we're trying to fix the mistake we made
start where it's at now ruben shalom
right here in what i'm going through in
my personal life with this difficulty
whether it's a health setback finances
whether it's a children grandchildren
whether it's mother-in-law father or
brother it makes no difference whether
it's local or global
revenue you're the only one who's behind
it all
and so you want me to turn to you at
least with a hero of this shiva
because the hero of the shiv is already
worth me coming into this world
and suffering whatever i have to suffer
comes along
throughout the entire governing
roi right there
now um it's amazing what you're doing
right now inside our body
in separating the toxicity and the waste
and expelling it from our body that's
amazing and it's happening
right now iframe all the prices
that's in the past tense because that's
hashem has already provided everything
we need
but every single bracha is in present
tense
because we're training in your reality
not mine
you open the eyes of the blind
mao bisharum you're clothing me right
now
malti rasulim you're waking me up right
now you're releasing me
from sleep from my vedas so i kept
problems but i'm being honest with you
every morning
my spine and spinal cord and nervous
system
and this muscular system and my entire
skeleton
and every sinew and muscle in my entire
body
you zeikev you are straightening you are
keeping me
functioning right kahara salami is
happening right now
her making with sadi gave you are the
only one
who directs a person walking down at
that moment
and then gets crushed or asleep in this
building at that time
hamaken you're the only ah the letter
hey
is hey are you dear definite article
means you're the only one
it's not no one else
i wake up and i'm tired trust me i'm
tired
but you give me kayak i'm still tired
i'm nice and light i have
still look oh yes but you're the nicent
is happening now it's lassen
however now hamada shayna
this is just because
when we say because of tara we're saying
that you are the one who's opening up my
mind
and enabling me to learn
hashem nice and hater it's you're giving
it to me now you're opening my mind now
we're constantly reminding ourselves of
god's dictionary
god's dictionary is i'm with you all the
time in every
area of your life
not he will it's happening now so when a
person's falling hashem is saying i'm
still holding you
i'm are you not on the floor i'm
carrying you
as you're falling and i'm not gonna let
you fall all the way because one hero of
teshuva
is redeeming eternity
it's isis it's happening now mikhail
i'm going to jump to the amiga quickly
just to give you a few examples gomez
it's not yigamel it's not he will do
it's doing it
right now constant acts of kindness is
taking place right now
we're training ourselves to see hashem
now you're with me all the time
he's remembering the advice now
or maybe go well he's bringing the
cooler now
you and i have been saying this for two
thousand years of gollus we're saying
maybe not
you yavi not he will
you and i didn't see that in the
inquisition in the crusades in the
cossacks
of the time zara's russia communist
russia holocaust we couldn't see it
but we were nevertheless saying the
words because we're trying in
training in hashem's ms not ours
he wants it now it's all in present
tense
hamar bilislaya it goes on and on the
last ones i'll quote to you
because it's shocked to us today
israel for 2 000 years you've been
saying rubenstein
not you will bring all the jews back to
erich's role
you are doing it now you and i couldn't
see that most of our great grandparents
never saw it
let alone lived there and today nearly
half literally half the world jewry
live in eritrea's role you have been
bringing us back
all this time
um we might not see it but hashem's
taking care of
all the russian
wow wait till you see their final day
that the simcha will be beyond beyond
beyond
and if ask for shalom we're not zaika we
get to get some asim and then we'll see
it
but don't fear death don't
fear death what i should fear
is how i'm spending my life
death that's a sick racer i don't mean
that as a pun but that's a psych racer
everyone's going to die we're born to
die so it's not should i fear death
am i making use of the hour
to hour day to day week to week month
month year to year
decades a decade of my life and one here
is already worth it
there's more to be said on this very
important subject i do believe that
that
rebbe akiva was the king of now he said
gum zu la tava
called the avid rahman latav avid
he he was laughing when his colleagues
were crying seeing shualim
cross over the kodashikodashi in the
area of the holy polis
and when asked why are you laughing he
said why are you crying so what do you
mean why are we crying
this can't you see destruction of our
temple and he is laughing
because he sees god is right now part of
the
prophecy that it will be destroyed
because of our vedas
but since he's keeping that promise he's
going to keep the next promise too
and he will rebuild it forever so he's
laughing at the irony
because he's living in now
that is our challenge when we see
and i really will close here we're
living in extraordinary
times i don't think our malik was so
strong ever
amalek we all know is gematria suffolk
he's all about
injecting doubt uncertainty
can should we take the vaccine not take
the vaccine is it safe is it not safe
can i go to this world can i not go to
when will i see my kids again
how when will life ever go back to
normal they're going to start they're
talking about masks again and
and and social distancing all over again
and uncertainty
uncertainty uncertainty and the more we
listen to
the oil demon and
of the news the more
i'm listening to the uncertainty of
people
who are not balay torah but nato bali
das
who are not studying baruch's tag
mitzvahs to tell me how i should think
and so if i fall into uncertainty i can
ask for
my harm myself and my family who see
the head of the family is uncertain
broken
and the muna is certainty
we're living in a time where amalek is
atheism
that was amalek legitimizing abortion
the destruction of children who are not
yet born
the destruction of the elderly with
euthanasia
the destruction of human sanctity
cremation is becoming so popular they
actually want to make it
a hike that is you don't have a choice
have to be cremated do you understand
what's taking place over here
we're living in a world that is
injecting us with their atheistic ideas
atheism means god is not in the picture
and when god's not in the picture
there's no sanctity for life
so abortion oh it's it's it's uh
it's up to it's up to the issues
carrying the child
there are no absolutes oh an elderly
person can be put to death
then they don't have that much use
anyway and there's assisted suicide and
it's becoming legitimized around the
world
they're taking our cottage parkours
terror and messing around
in the supreme court legitimizing same
gender marriages on ekima every single
movie
even children's programs are now
including
the option of not being a specific
gender do you understand
the injection of atheism is all around
us the standard textbooks are being
changed
and we have the greatest power of all
thought here of teshuva one here of the
shiva can break the balance
hakash baraku wants us to do our job
it was not the romans who destroyed our
temple it was
the first temple was destroyed by our
own averages
and it's the same available today that
has shalom
have affected beautiful jews who've
suffered so much
it's not our enemies our enemies are our
own availas our own messing around with
falling into the trap of urlam hazel
olamidimian i close i truly mean it
ravnasan of namrov i couldn't find the
the source of this when i was told this
was once asked what is his rebbe what
was the greatest thing his rebbe of
knuckling breslav ever did
and he answered without any hesitation
the greatest thing my rebbe
ever did was whatever he was doing
in that moment oh
darning oh darning learning not looking
around
every single person that comes in oh
learning
uh speaking with the wife i heard
everything you said
where am i where's my mind oh you're
spending time with your child
my mind's not in the office what am i
doing on the phone
where is my mind oh the greatest thing
a person can do is whatever they're
doing
in that moment be focused and in that's
cause we should be zaika to see the
coming of sherman here
on maine
