Kabbalah - The month of Kislev is - Build your Emuna (Faith) - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] few days ago we celebrated or hornish Rosh Hodesh Kislev and wash college is always symbolizing new rejuvenation or renewal of something we finished the month we passed with the previous month now we're starting a new month and who doesn't like new beginnings let's start up fresh it's almost like having a debt on your credit card and the bank tells you let's forget the debt let's start fresh and how many times as relationships is an argument let's forget about the argument let's start fresh this is a horse audition let's start from the beginning and every month has a certain type of energy that's that I need to work on something that this month can offer me that will help me and I need to work on now we do know that based on the book of formations affiliate serie the letter that is associated with the month of Kislev is the letter summer there's always going to be two letters one letter is associated with creation of the month or the power of the energy of the month and the other letter will be associated with the planet of the month but the letter that is associated and affecting the energy of the month of Kislev is the letter stomach now some it comes from the term or the verse in t limb from Tillamook mandala cook mom hey 145 which says so me ashamed : o flim Hashem is the the leaning or the how do you say this the backseat of the car a of the chair there what you lean on how do you say that he would called me in it how no but every chair has the back now do you call this part the back of the chair okay in Hebrew the neighbors called mission it why because Li Shan means to lean on so when I'm leaning on something this cordially he shine so Hashem is the the back then I lean on so so may Hashem ahora no flame is the flame is the ones who fall a shame is the one who's picking up the ones who fall is raising them up this so mushy Mahalo no flame this is the idea of salmon that the kadosh Baku knows that sometimes before but you know when you know that you have who the firaon it's comforting and you know by yourself it's very hard to fall and crash by yourself now I think the right way of saying stomach will be to support because the translation of samarasimha horn or flame it means that Hashem supports all the ones who fall fall fail but nevertheless why would why would a person fall what does it mean that I fall I'm not talking about that I stumble on a stone on the floor and I fall I'm talking like fall emotionally or spiritually why would I fail or fall is when I go after physical pleasures when I go after something physical if I direct myself only to the spiritual I will never fall there's a famous story I believe it was either with the Baal Shem Tov of the maggot formerly I don't remember exactly who but a Hasidic story that it was a certain individual who lived in Russia and every day in the winter and the ice in the in the snow would go to the mikveh every day an hour one way an hour back needless to say going on the Sun the snow and ice and the the the road the the path was to go up on a mountain and then go down the mountain and sometime one person says to that person how could you make it to the mikveh how don't you don't fall going down the mountain so the person says for anyone who's tied up or is connected above doesn't fall down here if you connect it to the world above you'll never fall down in this world and same as vice versa if you're not connected to the world above down here you will fall so the reason why I will have a failing or what we call an Ebro Nephila an emotional spiritual Monday I'm here everything is running well happy good spirit good energy things are all going well something happens them and I fall down and again I'm not talking about physically I'm not about emotionally mentally spiritually and so forth why is that happening only because one thing is because I follow physical things my physical pleasure my physical desires my physical day inclinations and so forth now when I fall down what happens when I fall down and again I'm gonna repeat this falling down all the time I'm not talking about physically only mentally emotionally spiritually when I fall down then the other side of holiness what we call Sitra Achra gets hold you catches you because I fall down to the depth then the other side of all of us will get me then it starts feeding me like injecting poison into me now going back to the creation of the world I don't know if you remember but months ago we had a soul class where we talked how when a Shem wanted to create the world he had a lot of advisors so to say so all the letters came to a Shem and told them create the world with me the letter tough came and then they went backwards like a stamp we explained that in that class that when you stamped something when it's on the paper it's the right way but the stamp is that is opposites it's mirrored so since we started with a liquidity mandala day so in the world above the original is tough and it will go backwards so tough game and then the sheen and then a rage and kouf and so forth nevertheless when it got to the letter summit summit said to Hashem create the world with me I want to be created with the letter summit what did I Chantel told her what's going to be with all the ones who fall who's gonna support them and when there's gonna be a lot of people falling so we only want to understand this idea of this falling and words coming from now the Kabbalah explains that we have different levels in our soul the lowest of all is called nefesh and then work on the neshamah then higher than Freda and so forth and there's different levels we spoke about that many times in different classes so there is a level called L got neshama the level of - Shama this is a very very high level I think that's what I think my understanding my humble understanding that we're all on the level of nephesh we don't go to such a high level to reach to the level of war and then to reach the level of neshama we spoke about it in one classes of the gates of reincarnation if you remember that the level of neshama corresponds to the skill of Pama to reach the Sascha level you know where we see individual in our generation in that level so I mentioned a couple great rappers in our generation such as the Rob Gronkowski was a great haha Talmud column a sage just that we understand his level the the man goes through the entire Gomorrah every year most people don't go through a quarter of it through entire their life he reads the entire shots every year he's a great to meet her on this is when you've seen individual in the level of neshama and reach to such a level that he's his entire essence is hokhmah so we strived to reach to the level of wanna shaman but the level of neshama that is called mantle he got neshama is corresponding to the letter stomach summer when a person reached to the level of some of this called bob got neshama what does it really mean this is called a seemingly completion or what we call gue marathi kun the completion of my rectification because when i come into this world I come first time then second time and third time and forced them and I can come here dozens of times in incarnations but when I'm gone this is called demotic hoon I finished I concluded my tea : I'm done I'm out I'm done with this world in order for me to reach to this full rectification I have to reach the level that is called neshama because if you remember when we learned in shower giggling in the gates of reincarnation your first rectified level of nefesh and water the neshamah and so forth now in this month a very powerful month even though I know I say that I know that all the months there are very powerful months but this is a very powerful month and you have to always look at which holidays in which month if you remember last month we said that there's no holidays in the month of Chris van that's already making an easy month and it's not even one holiday betrayed look how many holidays are in the montseny sound and so forth so in the month of Kislev we have konoka Hanukkah is a very powerful a holiday we know based on our sages that after mushiya comes all the holidays will be canceled and the only holidays we're gonna continue celebrating is Hanukkah and Purim because Hanukkah and Purim is a gallery Ilocos it's a godly revelation above nature Hanukkah is a very unique holiday it's so unique and so exalted that we allowed to work on that holiday usually on holidays even allowed to work we have to completely strike Hanukkah you're allowed to work or not to do whatever you want all you need to do is light the candles and eat donuts and eating donuts that's our invention this is not a rabbinical nor biblical nor anything but nevertheless what is the idea of Hanukkah Hanukkah is the victory of emunah this is a moon eyes belief this is something we don't most of us barely barely have I mean we want to have a Moana but we're Taniya Mona that's our sages cost tener una very little muna like I said many times in many different examples that when things go well then a shame is the best God and I have full belief in a shame when things going well once I get into the first challenge the Emunah flies out of the window so we have a problem with the muna and this is the foundation of everything it all starts with belief with Emunah if I have strongly muna I'm untouchable oh how do you say and in not adventure invincible right not invincible how do you know invincible when you don't and you don't see you right how do you know that's invisible invincible I am nobody can touch me I'm untouchable would I have a muna look at Marshall obey no he was like the top of the top of a moon ah look what he was able to do Hama be no the father of all beliefs he was able to go through fire when we have a muna if you have high level of belief you can walk through walls we had sages in the past they were able to do whatever they want they were way above nature they were able to go through a wall why because they believe the world doesn't exist here I'm Way above the wall why don't why can't you go through a wall because you don't believe that you can walk through a wall and you believe that this stone exists right now the stone doesn't exist right now you are way above that stone but we have this to believe and in this world Honoka is the victory of Emunah and how exactly because we have a very low perception of belief we have a very low perception of the ability of our own belief you know when you're young your mother tells you you can do it you can do it my mother kept telling me you can do anything you want I was like really okay and I believed my mom so I went and I conquered the world because my mom told me I can do it you know that's a good parents can you imagine my mom telling me you are a failure you can't do anything in your life anything that you're gonna do you're gonna fail I mean I know people that that's what their parents told them and they became a loser but when you have somebody behind you telling you I believe in you then you will I I can do it so this is how important sometimes just the right feedback I'm not talking about right now about necessarily a mother and a child any person you know they always say behind a successful man there's a supportive wife because their wife says I believe in you I believe in your abilities so we have this much understanding in the power of our ability because we don't have belief so Honoka is the symbol victory the way I can be victorious and gain back emunah now Emunah if you want to define it is a very very very broad topic to define it but I want to tell you one thing that that belongs to a munna is that you need to know how to develop love to somebody that fails and fall and usually it's for my own self gratification so when do I lose my a moon on a sham is when I fail to my own self-gratification I decided not to eat a certain food for a certain amount of time whatever a diet then I fail then I don't believe myself anymore oh I set myself a goal and I failed for my own self-gratification and then I feel like I'm a loser so the Emunah is knowing to develop this lab for the the idea that I fall for my own self-gratification and if you take it to your own life I just gave example with the food you take it to wherever you want in your life unfortunately people in our generation dealing with all sorts of I don't like saying the word bad habits or addictions when everybody's addicted to something some people are addicted to crack and to heroin and alcohol some people are addicted to their phone and some people are addicted to whatever a cookie I'm constitutional not to step on anybody's toes but we all have a and we'll call it a weakness right now some people it comes out in a very extreme way when it's addicted to substance and sometimes it's something very simple most people they don't even aware of that they're addicted to their phone take away their phone for 24 hours you start seeing their the twitching with my where's my phone so that's an addiction I'm sorry to tell you if you play when a video game four hours a day they though this this is a certain type of an addiction but when I don't have control over it is and I also lose believe in myself and it's very easy to lose lose belief in myself now going back to the summit the so make the support we go through events in our life and we're gonna now talk about the negative events in our life when we have a positive in events in a life it's a reinforcement and so forth but we have negative events in our life lost of a loved one lost of business breaking of a marriage and so forth you can quote an event we'll call it also a case because in Hebrew the word is McRae McRae is a case but I don't think it sounds so well in English so we'll call it an event sometimes happens an event in my life and I don't know how to get over it and again can be a loss of finance can be a loss of a loved one can be a breaking up of a marriage or whatever it is you you you again take the information I'm taking telling you you develop it to your own personal life but there's have an event in I in my life and I don't know how to overpower it overcome it and that event will bring me down and just for the sake of the example now look there was the the everybody was running for mayor just imagine in the candidates that didn't get elected the the feeling of lost the feeling of them I wasn't good enough nobody likes me enough I'm just thinking of the candidates that are going home just giving a quick analysis of a situation yeah it makes sense you're looking at the polls so-and-so got 40 percents forty votes the other person got twenty and I remember not too long ago we looked at the local newspaper we saw the candidates and one person got like barely nothing and I heard people laughing like yeah I only got 200 votes and I was saying if that person will hear it what would they think I'm a failure nobody likes me nobody believed me nobody believed in me and that person puts his tail between his legs and goes homes and starts crying imagine what that person know this is an event how do you get over that event now some people they have a rough skin I don't care next time I don't care I'll do something else but how do you do how do you go over a certain event and in your life that affects you in a certain way now all this why am I saying that because we're celebrating the holiday of Hanukkah the more was against the Greeks now the Greek I mean we call them Greeks but I have a two lectures online you can go and find them or you can take the Chanukah CD I think actually the CDs ran out of them but anyways where explain the idea behind this idea of the Greeks so there is a way of thinking or a path how the the Greeks are operating the degree that the idea of Greece or the Greeks will call them you have a name I don't like saying the Greek because it sounds like a Greek salad but we'll say Yemeni the Yemeni the enemy that is called Yvonne this is a concerned clipper how is that affecting me that the Yvonne the ebony will tell you the event is what matters you lost that's it you are a loser you succeeded you are the winner this is the idea of the thought how the approach of the venires that the event is what counts now kislev if you're looking at the word kiss lever you can break up the word to so many ways kislev sounds like he said he says a chair and it ends with lament valve so lament valve what slamming valve it's 36 different many different reasons lammott valve is 36 the numerical value we know them it's a very powerful number one of them is that we know that every generation has 36 tsadikim la la la la medieval tsadikim the Siddiq is what creates emunah the Siddiq how is moshe rabbeinu cold ryeom ahem 'no they trust the trustworthy shepherd but rather the right way to translate it is the person that gives Emunah the santak is the why do we have a thickener in our life is to give me to build a muna the static has an at most a muna a real truth Sadiq is unstoppable can do whatever he wants moshe rabbeinu can be here can be there to do whatever he wants and this is again brings us again to this idea of the Sabbath because Sabbath is a circle and a circle is a completion something that is complete now so blemishes goes around in circles it's not infinity that has two circles Sabiha Eagle is the symbol of perfection and not only perfection of completion now to give you an example what I'm trying to get to if you sit now in a round table everybody's equal if we're sitting in a square table or rectangle then I'm at the head and you're at the side and you at the end but if it's a circle it's a round table we're all equal and you know when we're all equal when there's no gather when there's no pride the problem with us is that with our level of gave rise out of control if you remember we went through once a mini course of takuna meadows of the rectification of the middle of the the characteristics and I explained that we we have two sides to it the negative mid note and the positive mid notes and on the positive side the highest of all the first meter have always made at ANOVA the middle of being humble and then that will start birthing more middle more characteristics more attributes on the other side the worst of always been a together the being pride having too much pride now where does everything originates from from when my pride is being pushed so if you remember I explained at the time that the highest of all negative characteristics or attributes is gave out now if somebody will you poke my giver my pride it will right away develop to me dotes anger and sadness that's where anger and sadness comes from because somebody touched my ego Gavai is ego in other words now from that we know they will start birding more mid notes resentment hate jealousy and so forth that's where all the bad meat doctor coming from they're coming from gather now when everybody's equal then there's no gather we're equal we're all the same where do I come where do I come up with pride with gava is when I feel that I'm better than you I'm smarter than you more successful than you I'm more attractive than you whatever it is that's what the gavotte comes from but if I see that we're all equal then it shouldn't be any gay about whatsoever this is this dog at neshama in the level of neshama italic a complete Celtic has zero GABA he doesn't see you and him different in any way now Keith's level what's powerful about kislev I know I said before every month is bearable the power of Kislev is that it has the power of enlightenment other months have different energies the energy of chuhwa the energy of healing the energy of Kislev is enlightenment who doesn't want to be enlightenment to get enlightenment now this is not stamin enlightenment it's a enlightenment that comes from darkness when you are in light then light doesn't make a difference but when you're in darkness makes a huge difference this is called datura almond Akasha a very great cabbalistic term that there's the greater advantage when light comes from darkness if you take now a candle and you go outside broad daylight will you see the light of the candle you're not gonna even notice it's gonna even affect take that light of the candle bring it into a dark basement now that the little swing lit up the whole basement the whole dark room the victory of light over darkness a little bit of light diminishes a lot of darkness and this is the power of Kislev is this enlightenment but light that comes from dark darkness now what is this light and darkness this is revealing the Emunah in me that is coming from the Greek mythology third ology that's that belief of what the Greek came and did to us and this is up until now this is a clipper it's called clippety a van that is affecting us up until today the desire for physicality the desire for victory there all these desires it's all coming from this clip out of Iran and I don't want to go in length you can go find those two lectures online where I really break it down what is this clip out of Iran what is this war with Yvonne and I break it down in a very far away that you see that we're still fighting the Greek up until today the desire for fame and beauty and success and so forth there's nothing wrong with having beauty and success but depends to which direction it's taking you but nevertheless the power of the month of Kislev is to enlighten the the darkness but it's really to reveal the Emunah that is coming from a place where there's no Emunah why because the idea of the giverny of the greek is to live the moment joe right now the moment doesn't matter what's going on tomorrow doesn't matter what's gonna go be in a hundred years doesn't matter what's gonna be in the world to come that's what we talked about before with the russian allah you enjoy it now if you enjoy it now what's gonna happen in 120 years when you go up to share mine I'm gonna show it to you what do you think it's just gonna dissolve from the universe what you said so you enjoy right now the moment let me hear that juicy thing what do you say about that Oh tastes so good don't you think that in 120 years you're gonna stand up in front of the heavenly Gordon and they're gonna tell you you know that on November 2nd 2018 you had a very nice conversation with so-and-so you remember no Baker no no no I don't remember it was like a hundred years ago no problem we had about 1700 cameras on you from every direction and I'm gonna play the plane back to you oh yeah I remember her I remember saying this and now what now what discuss so the idea of the given ease and joy now the moment enjoy now because tomorrow I don't know it's gonna be tomorrow it's not a Jewish concept now Emunah the belief is wherever there is a place of Mithila when I fall or when I something that is that I don't really desire happens it means that has to be a rectification now colonel dubaku is always gonna so to say manipulate situations that i will fall or there will be a situation that i'm not really happy about the business deal didn't work out the relationship didn't work out whatever i'm not happy with this this is for me a blinking red light to say something needs a takuna has to have a rectification here that's where the moon uh comes in because i will look at this case of the event and i completely disconnected from what i need to do here and if i have to go through something it's because there has to be certainty kun here certain type of rectification now going again back to Chanukah and I'm going through a lot of details but I want to get to the end of the to the class Honoka we celebrated because there was a miracle what is the miracle ask any two-year-old three-year-old for you what was the miracle what it'll tell you that the candle the fire the oil was burned for eight days which we already talked about it last year it was seven days not eight days because the first day is not a miracle right remember we talked about that if they had oil the oil was supposed to write for one day so the miracles only seven days not eight days man we're not gonna get technical that's what people think is the miracle of Hanukkah you know it's a period the miracle of Hanukkah not not the oil is the victory over the Greeks can you imagine a whole army and a few men are fighting them and they're winning them in such a way that's the real miracle now the reason why we celebrate we also attribute the miracle to the oil because the the kohanga Dahl was the one who would stamp the oil now Kohen Gadol is the Malagasy Shama this is this is the level Kohen Gadol represents the level of neshama which again is the summit going back to that summer a completion Kohen Gadol is not some candidate that they had some campaign and they chose the corn God or the corn God or if he makes one mistake in the Holy of Holies the Kotick regime he dies there's no place for room for mistakes here Cohan God all is called neshama this is a very high level so the real miracle here if we want to break it down to simple language the miracles that we were able to control or to rule the summer to elevate ourselves to such a high level that we were able to overpower the the Greeks this is the victory here is that we were able to to rule the stomach to reach to the level of neshama to conquer all my desires when I'm able to conquer my desires that's when I reach to a level of neshama that doesn't matter what you're gonna put in front of me it doesn't move me from from where I am doesn't matter what situation you're gonna put me in doesn't change my Munna it doesn't put me down doesn't make me feel to me if I have success doesn't make me proud if I have failure doesn't make me feel like a loser I'm constantly in one level now the the miracle here is that we were able to go above the whole method of the Greek and that's to reveal their mana to bring the Emunah up to the surface therefore if you're looking at it you know the idea of the what the Greek yes is that they were all about the body the Greece the Greeks were all about the pleasuring the body is all about the body and for example I mean again I have another class about the whole idea where I explained the three cities of week and where which city brought walked if you remember we said that the city spot that brought the sport and each city brought something else but nevertheless look at just the idea of sports there's nothing wrong with physical activity for my own health but the idea of the sports of the Greeks is that has to be a winner and has to be a loser and if I win I'm the one who's cheering I get the trophy I'm everything is good but somebody on the other side is sad crying and he was defeated this is a very a Greek way of looking at it we won I have the victory which again there's nothing wrong with sports don't get me wrong it's very healthy to do sports but when it becomes the challenge that I have to win you then means that I'm defeating you which means I'm putting you down means to make myself greater and this is not a Jewish concept to put somebody down to make me greater the Jewish concept is that we're all winners let's win together let's elevate all of us together at the same time then we are winners if I'm winning and you losing and the Jewish concept is that I'm not a winner I'm the loser because I'm looking at you as the loser the Jewish concept is let's elevate ourselves to get together if I'm not together how can you call yourself a winner you're not a winner you're just a bully putting somebody else down so it's very easy to put somebody else down to make me look great that's the problem in our generation how can I make myself look great as if I make you look bad now if you look great I'm not going to look so great myself so I have to put you down one way or another we know where that comes from they don't have any belief I don't believe in myself I don't believe in my success I don't believe in my abilities then I have to make you look bad so the the victory over the Greeks is that I don't need this comparative idea between us who's better I know mark taller than him more successful no you're not what do you think success is coming from from a Shem Hashem is the one who presses the buttons if somebody is successful because Hashem decided for him to be successful and if somebody is not successful it because Hashem doesn't want him to be successful now if you have a muna then you believe that's what our she wants you don't have a Munna then you are you feel like I'm a loose I'm the losing you I was defeated so I have to go back and win over my title now when you have this competitive fight everybody's losers there's not such a thing that one is the winner everybody's a loser at the end of it even the one who got the middle you still a loser because you defeated somebody else the Jewish way of looking away the Torah way of looking in it that the real victory is a reward piece we're all together that's the real victory when both sides benefit if one side benefits and now the side gets the short end of the stick this is not a victory for anybody and this is definitely what the Torah is about the Torah says when everybody benefits then you are victorious when this peace now the miracle that we celebrating is that within this physical desire chaos we found the place of belief how do you think the Cashmore name the Makka beam how they do you think they want you're talking about a few guys winning an army you know I they have belief and if we're if I believe I'm untouchable I can do whatever I want so the miracle here is that we went into the physical chaos we are in a physical chaos I have physical desires physical inclinations I have lusts I have things that I I can't live without they're my addictions whatever it is and I'm going into the physical chaos and I bring out a Munna out of it now that's why the place of Ramona was couldna coup de amor now we all have this place where we're born with it's called the niku defame you know the point of Emunah like I told you many times when the baby is born he has a hundred percent the Munna there's no problem with the baby the mother gives the baby his three hours old he gives the baby something to eat you think that maybe says whoa whoa lady what are you doing well is this oh you do this but that's what are you giving me the thing that baby questions the mother the mother comes to take the baby from the hospital you think that maybe says listen lady I don't know you I want some references I want to talk with a few other people that maybe know you let me ask my friends here do you know that woman is she a good mother maybe I can go with that one that looks like a better mother to me babies have a hundred percent emunah whatever you give them the take then they either they meet their shocking reality when they get a little bit of dot when they reach to their level of two again what's called a some type of a comprehension then they start facing the harsh reality and suddenly the mom lies to the baby the father lies to the baby the sibling lights to the baby can you imagine I was confusing it is for the baby then mommy said a lie Wow what's going on here it's devastating then the baby grows it's four years old he goes to the kindergarten the teacher you know how we look up at the teachers remember how we looked up at the teacher and Wow she's the best in the world and then suddenly the teacher lies to the child or the child sees that she lied what my my teacher my heroes a liar and then their kids lied and the friends lie and before you know the child is eight years old they don't believe anybody because everybody's liars everybody's lying all day long so this is where we destroy the moon on our kids when my kid sees me lie I destroyed any type of Emunah of my kid you know how many fathers call me listen you gotta talk to my son in two weeks he has a permit so he doesn't want to put him in on something you want me to fix now what you damaged in the last 13 years how do how can I fix what you damaged you lied all day long now your child sees a liar so he doesn't believe he says my father's a liar he wears a beard and puts villain on but then he lies so what's going on here kids are not stupid Nicky don't you think kids see what's going on kid see everything so we have an akuna point in us that of belief and you can't take it away but you can bury it and the victory over the Greeks were that we brought the naked artists point out now when I'm able to overpower all these events that happening in my life that's a miracle and that's only if I bring up this Emunah to the surface and this is the power of Kislev the power of Kislev is strengthening my Munna you have a problem with him or not this is the month now how do you really do it I'll give you an example if a person is hungry if he's going to eat he solves the problem for now he's not solving the problem your rights if a person is hungry and he eats he thinks he'll it will be good no no no because you know what because tomorrow you'll be hungry again and the next thing you'll be hungry again did you solve the problem no you know what we'll solve the problem believe that it will be okay believe that everything will be fine you solve the problem the the eating is not a solution because tomorrow you'll be hungry again now we're not telling you going to hunger strike and just trying to put a concept of course there won't be a lot of arguments nothing what kind of nonsense you're saying of course we have to eat what if either try to take go to the depth of the idea what I'm trying to say right now I have a problem I'm hungry I think the solution is to put something in my mouth this is not the solution it's just a band-aid I'm not with creating a solution here right now and again don't take my words out of context and saying what is he talking about Naaman aren't gonna eat anymore take the the the the method the idea the parable and now we'll apply it when we when I live did you notice something that happens every day that you live every day that I live more you know what happens I die more because I'm going towards the end you're right there's a timeline which means if I'm starting here every day that I'm more alive I'm more dead because I'm more closer to my death I mean it's not such a positive thing a way of thinking but I have to understand that at some point the body dies if I live if I don't have that stack in the back of my mind something's wrong with me at some point the body will die so today I'm 44 years old so let's say Hospital Shalom I have to die when I'm 19 right some 46 days closer to my eight years closer to my death today how old are you I'm gonna die in 44 years but we don't know when we're gonna die I know it's a very extreme way of thinking of it but the point is is the Emunah is to switch it around is to switch everything around the the real way of lying emunah is that I live more every day that I go through I live actually more I mean I know I'm close to my death but I'm I actually live more so why should I walk towards this if I'm planning my life people say you know when I retire when I grow older when I do this why are you going towards this this is a very not believing system way of system that you I know there's nothing wrong with planning your your old age but you're saying they're great well you know when I'm gonna be older when the kids are gonna be out of the house why are you going towards death why don't you go towards living why don't you go towards more Emunah now again going back to the Greeks the Greeks they want the moment let's enjoy what we can think right now but this is a lie this is falsehood the real admit is to live forever and the only way of living forever is when yeah the body one day will die but I'm not a body I'm a soul the body is a vehicle my way of looking is that I'm gonna live for eternity when you know that you're gonna live for eternity now start designing how is that eternity going to be the problem with us is that we don't believe that we're going to live for eternity we think that when I'm going to be put in the ground that's it light is out no I'm going to live for eternity so my entire way of thinking has to be with living to eternity so kids live just to summarize it is the power of Emunah is where I dig into the depth of my soul to bring the moon out and the Emunah is what's holding us that's why I told you before the Sabbath saw me Shem the horn or flim the support the support my support system is my emunah and when I don't have a Munna all the negative things that happen in my life is because there's no emunah anger depression all the stuff is only because I don't have a Munna if I have a Munna I'll never get sad I'll never get depressed I'll never be disappointed I'll never be anything so to summarize it anything that's coming negative into my life it's only because I don't have belief if I have belief what it seems to be negative it's not a really negative it's just one more step that I have to go through something negative happens in my life it's a sign for me to do some type of a rectification if I have unbelievable belief tomorrow will be better the next business deal will be more successful the next relationship will work Shem everything will work at the time that a Shem wants it to work so the core of everything is demo now if I have a Mona then I have no problem if somebody is more successful than me because that's what a sham wants I have no problem that person got married before the me that's his time to get married that person is more popular more rich more smart that's what a shame wants so when I have a muna I'll never get jealous and never gets upset and never get disappointed III don't see other people as a threat in any type of a way I see everybody equal well equal at the end of the day if you don't see each other equal to each other there's a very big deficiency in Emunah when I'm looking at other people beard not beard a yarmulke Jew not Jew we're all one level I don't look at people like oh you have a black suit you'll hear and you have only a grey suit used there it's nonsense this is totally nonsense this is the physicality the the looking at the physical part and being impressed by that you want to go above all that then there's the only way is nourishing the Emunah when I have a very high level a merabh nothing affects me in any type of way think Moshe I had a depression motion of everything he was depressed and sometimes oh he had the moments of weakness then he had to go to a psychiatrist and the crash don't worry everybody loves you your emotion of a bandeau Marshall von oben everybody went against him yeah you would think that he will have some type of a problem that you know when they when they're but with the argument with Cora everybody voted for Karl you would think that it would mess up with him I'm just giving example motion obey no look at all the prophets all the Great's of the game everybody wants against them do you think you have an issue they didn't look at this as an issue so to make a very long story short the the lack of belief is the source of all the problems because when I have a very high level of belief I don't I don't care I don't get affected something I don't care it doesn't affect me in a negative way I'm happy when you are successful I'm happy when you're victorious I'm happy that things working out good for you if I don't have belief by him and not me why he's on the top and I'm at the bottom why you know he this person is not making me look good you know I talked about before a lot of them a Shannara where's it coming from because person a doesn't make person B look so good so then person B is now oh my god that person is a threat it doesn't make me look good in my community so let me go and slander him let me make some all sorts of there and in from bad information about him then he's gonna look back then I'm gonna get back the trophy that this is constantly Munna this is the zero belief so the point to take from that is that the month of Kislev is the ability to overpower that you go and you focus in your life what is your deficiency where do you don't believe in things one person will be in business and other person will be in relationships another person will be with my own self-esteem I'm not as great as I would want to be I'm not as the famous as I would want to be or people don't allow me all this nonsense but nevertheless every person you have to look in yourself what is my van that I'm fighting what is my Greek here that I'm fighting that I'm failing because there's no amudha and you pinpoint where you're failing and you're saying why did I fail here because I don't believe and again you have to take it to your own life and analyze it and I can't analyze now every situation but you take it to your own life and you analyze when you look where did I fail I fail right now that I am jealous of that person I felt right now that relationship didn't work out I fell right now this business transaction didn't work out whatever it is and you analyze it and you're saying what was the failure if there was a fail I mean that I'm not believing enough there's no enough a Munna if there was a laugh a Munna okay that relationship is not for me if there's enough a Munna the business of the bill will work another time if they had a great level of it Munna okay so that person is the better person to be the mayor I should not be the mayor whatever it is now you take advantage of the month of Kislev is to pump up the Munna how do you do it practically is that you have to feed your body would enter your soul would ever have anything that has to do with the Munna there are many things that you feed your your soul with the Munna one of them is in the word of Kislev keys will live now even though rewriting it lament valve but you it sounds like live like a heart and keys is a pocket you have to pay attention to your pockets saying in other words this is a month to really increase in Snuka because when you give a kiss as a pocket when you put your money in your pocket you have to pay take if putting your heart to something as you're paying attention now to the class not necessarily writing cheques by the way the guys that I give something out of myself to somebody else it doesn't have that it can be money can be a place to sleep can be my attention can be my time and it can be my place of you right now needs to shine I'll move a little bit here that's your time to be shining right now everybody has to be in the limelight at some point so the the great way of wearing it is in Hebrew it sounds much better nassim live like he's Kislev seem like rookies look where where you where you holding back you know and Hum time how many times you go in the street and a person goes like that you know you have some coins in your pocket like no I don't have anything and I'm not judging anybody sometimes you need their money but the idea it's not being judgmental if you're giving or not the idea that you holding back you don't give something how many times people asked for help and you're like I don't wanna help this person right now cuz the realistic eyes when you want don't want to do it when you have a million dollars to give $100 donations on a big deal the big deal is when you don't want to give it's not comfortable to you to give but you still give and again don't don't be locked on just money sometimes it's my attention it's my time it's an hour of my time it's sometimes it's just giving giving up or giving over you take the stand right now so this is one very powerful way how to strengthen the Emunah in me there are different ways that I spoke about so many times I said already that by saying bill cut Amazon every day the grid when you say that you eat your washer your your hands for bread and you eat bread and you simply cut Amazon this is a very high level of regaining emunah smelling good sense and not the perfume of christian dior smelling a herb the Samim strengthen the Emunah but we want to focus about Kislev and like I told you the way is this is the month of opportunity that you're also giving actual charity the month of a very auspicious time to give to give charity why do you think we give Hanukkah gelt so what they called me Hanukkah my money why I'm gonna give it in poem it's the idea of giving so I will summarize that the power of pumping up the moon is the month of giving man whatever you can and sometimes giving is larger giving something if something is giving in okay I back off you're you're right oh I'm not going to go into this argument right now sometimes somebody steps on your leg and the reaction is I'm gonna show that person right now I'm gonna go now slander and all over the city everybody will know that he's wrong and I'm right something giving back off sometimes you have to you know swallow your pride swallow your anger swallow your ego so you do all that that's why I said before that there's a remedy for more behind Pilate that he says if you if you don't complain complaining is a lot of people asking me what do you mean complain complaining that the gas bill is so high when I'm complaining complaining about this complaining about that complaining as when I'm too picky about every little detail don't have to be so picky about every little detail let things do go according to their nature let us him do his thing you don't have to look at every little detail she said and he did and he said it did that so it's a month that you want to refine yourself self refinement that you really look in yourself and you think I'm not gonna be a picky about every person that said something up against me and I'm not gonna be so picky about every little detail and he did this and she did that it's a matter when I really refine myself and I'm not really you know being so particular but every little thing that's what I'm able to let the Emunah start coming out and when I'm able to let the muna rise that's my victory over the Greek and that's the power of the month and that's what we need to apply because a person who's a believer is successful in everything that they do because even when they fail it's not a failure it's just another step there's no failure then the and the victory the most important is what I said before is the real victory is that we're all together win when you win and somebody else suffers that's not victory that's just just your ego being very happy right now that you were the best and the other person was worse that's not real victory the real victory that we're all together a victorious so Basava shame we have a lot more to do because a it's a month of opportunities it's a window of opportunity and there's also we have a lot what to do because we see that the the leash of the pressure is getting tighter and tighter on our neck so there's a lot to do not just to say it in theory to not the head is very good but you have to apply to say how am i doing a change am i becoming a trendsetter how can i change something and when you say to yourself but I'm only one person how can I do it again this is the disbelief if you're it's our eyes telling you you are nobody you're who's going to listen to you why do you think you can make a change in the well this is again the Greek in your telling you you cannot do it but the Munna is saying I can't do it the owner the Prophet was able to make 12 lineal people to chew up it says in there was 12 million 12 million people so if one person is able to make a whole city do chuva why can I do it why can't I be making a change I don't need to be a celebrity or somebody big but I can do something and again it comes from a Munna so when I make a change then it will ripple out doesn't matter how big you are or you're known you're not known you make something a positive action this is the victory of light over over darkness because a little bit of light diminishes a lot of darkness you make a change trust me it will affect you will go outwards and we need as much as possible lamplighters now in our dark era because we are facing you know that the coming of michelle can come either way as it looks now it's not coming so smooth so we got a take a stand we're gonna make a change and we have the power of the month in resolution we should do the same way that it up until now it was a month of miracles then it should be also a month of miracles that we should overcome our physical enemies and any physical threat and a missile should be safe wherever they are here in Israel there's a lot of attacks a lot of problems outside the the Israel is also the nation is not so safe and we should be we should be fighting as a team so we all could be safe as a nation wherever we are and all as one is a team be victorious over the darkness of the world unashamed to have a beautiful beautiful man [Music] you [Music]
