welcome back viewers and listeners of
tan time and Y to part two of our short
that means short and time insights into
y Kipper so we're ready for the day part
one we discussed why it's hard to do
chba and what to do about it and we did
something about it part two now is how
about this from Mitzvah eating on arvan
Kipper that's what we're going to focus
on now and then the last one will the
third installment will be about yum
Tipper itself but let's go to eating
what kind of Mitzvah is eating it's what
benaza calls an easy Mitzvah rat Mitzvah
kala okay now it's very interesting
that's the Parish of the feris ra why is
eating on arvum Kipper an easy
mitzpah
well the there's it's beautiful he
brings different categories of easy and
that it's easy in two ways it's not hard
to eat maybe the cook I didn't say
cooking on on uh for the meals was easy
I said eating on arav Kipper is easy why
the main reason is it's just like onig
shabas it's enjoyable we love food and
drink we love it it's enjoyable that
makes it easy now here's the
question is that a good thing or a not
good thing that it's
easy that okay so yes and no like most
most answers to uh to our questions all
right yes it's a good thing why
because we're supposed to do all Mitzvah
with andus is there a better place to
start than an easy Mitzvah you can
practice doing something with joy okay
so in that sense easy Mitzvah enjoyable
things do them and get right at it okay
that's that's the good side the other
side the reason he's warning us he's
actually warning us room to it means
this is an other way you can do um a
Mitzvah that's for pleasure sometimes
forget the essence which is it's a
Mitzvah that hasem is asking us to do we
get lost in the pleasure we become
focused in the self-enjoyment not a bad
thing there miss is for that but I'm
saying so there's a risk that we won't
have proper cavana we won't have the
right intentions in doing it so you have
to be careful with easy Mitzvah to make
sure you step back and say Hashem the
reason I'm eating on Kipper I mean have
Kipper is because you command me to eat
on the knife right just express your
intentions and because I love you always
throw that in okay so one thing is you
have to be careful when it's when it's
easy your your mind checks out but mitz
is about relationship and checking out
in a relationship's not good okay so
that's that's the first part I'm going
to give you three approaches maybe a
fourth three approaches to understand
what AEM wants from us in the Mitzvah
okay this is to have cavana to have
connection to what you're doing first
you have to stop before the act and
express your intention I'm doing this as
a Mitzvah hasem but that's not enough
during the process it helps to think
about what does Hashem want from this
mitzah you can't always answer that with
shot a it could be just wants you to say
yes sir but but when it comes to MIT
like this the reain gives us three
reasons for the meal and I want these to
become three Reflections while you're
eating right then it's it's going to be
instead of food for thought this can to
be thought for your food and these are
all Mitzvah what a win okay so there
let's I'm going to first reason R yod
says and he's tackling the idea that the
eating's called
fasting this is
beautiful and this is what maybe most of
you think of when when you eat you're
preparing yourself to do the aod of the
day the service of the day which is
praying and doing chuva and afflicting
yourself right so the Mitzvah of an
anosim afflicting yourselves by eating
you're preparing it so he says like this
the
preparation is part of the Mitzvah so
even though you're not really flicting
yourself when you're eating some lovely
food since you're doing it I'm eating
this is by the way uh the uh the inos
they say everything you do should be sh
have in mind that I'm preparing myself
for the aod I'm putting myself in in an
ideal condition to do the holy work of
yum Kipper all right and so that's a
Mitzvah of doing things sh sh you could
have that in mind the second second
reason he
says every yum has pseudos pudos yum
right festive meals the idea is to
celebrate the gift of the yam feasting
is to is to celebrate the gift of
whatever the holiday is now yon Kipper
yon Kipper this is one of the happiest
days of all it's so cleansing it's so
healing it's so repairing of our
relationship that's a lot to be happy
about and celebrate so what you should
really do is say Hashem first of all
thank you for letting the Jewish people
exist and get a second
lost and thank you for creating a
healing repairing loving day every year
thank you so that's the second cavana
all right to have while you're eating
and feasting tomorrow okay number one
you're doing this to have strength to do
Chua and fast Etc that's number one
which is you turned the eating into part
of the actual day number two is you're
pre- celebrating the gift of Yung Kipper
number three is my favorite listen to
this says
reua the
EA AR Kipper is a sudas
hod now if you just TR take that lightly
it means oh it's a you're it's a meal of
Thanksgiving but when when are you
supposed to make a sudas h when you
escaped
danger right person had a terrible
illness God forbid or robbers or they
went through a dangerous territory right
that's when you make us suit us a dog so
the question
is what danger did I escape okay says
Rebo Yona
you made it to have kapora what's the uh
what's the option if we if we didn't uh
have own Kipper right and let's say we
weren't perfect and we did the wrong
wrong things so you know how atonement
is classically done through suffering
okay it's a healing of the damage from
the sin says rabenu Yona it's done
through suffering or even worse Okay so
the fact that we please God we're not
there yet and by the way crao Yona if
you want to shial yourself and and
repair worry about um the doing chuva
worry about it worry about your judgment
worry a bit about Wow have I done
sufficient chba have I apologized etc
etc but then if we make it please God we
should in all CL Israel if we make it to
arav Yom Ker and we have that meal what
are we do we're saying thank you Hashem
I lived out the year and now I get to
atone I get to be cleansed I get to be
healed I get a removal of so much
suffering and bad things okay now isn't
that a a good reason to eat on arav Yom
Kipper so let's just summarize and then
we'll go to the Grand conclusion the
holy day itself so we learned that the
uh the Mitzvah of um eating on arum
Kipper is called Affliction so one
reason is because preparation for
Mitzvah becomes part of the Mitzvah so
there is Affliction going to occur on y
Kipper your eating gets lumped in and
it's eating L sham number two your every
yum to is a gift from Hashem is
celebrating something he's done he did
profoundly for the Jewish people so
we're we're preponing the the meal and
we're celebrating it early okay and
finally what we just said it's a sud we
were in danger all
year has been in danger and please in
the Merit of everybody's efforts and
prayers I don't want to um uh not
mention this but we should see see our
beloved um hostages and the soldier all
the people right now are in danger they
really really have to celebrate y Kipper
but we she should see their release and
um please go will all celebrate aravon
Kipper together
