Ignite the Flame - Rabbi Eytan Feiner

you're gonna count seven weeks and then we have another passage this will come ishmael asks at the veldt we have the famous council of the maforoshim which one is it are we counting 49 days or recounting 50 days it's a steering wheel it's self-contradictory it's the many different tourism out there but perhaps with seattle today like a chair of govaldiga terrets hailing the shin of a rebel review and he raises this age-old question and he's mutarates as follows the ramban writes in his abdomen to his penis and we can never get to dargah 50. we know their nun shari bina nunchari tahara rosh hashanah from the base even though sherbano writes the gemara about the kimbo shredder could only be masik can only grasp 49th level out of 50. just like with no kaiser oil ali dakissa on the other side of the coin they were in the 49th level of jamal had they sunk to level 50 that would have been it on the positive perspective there are 50 a gates of tahara purity we can only get to level 49 we can't get to level 50. so what does that mean from us in this world you know what hashem wants hashem says i want you to do with spira you can't get to level 50 law you're only ha ha 50 you can't live in this world and get to that lofty madriga of shah rahman be alive here in this world but what can we do i writes the shin of arabic what is this literally and indicates that we have to do a mice of counting a lotion of sphero but it's suddenly alluding at the same time to the idea of sapir vayalum sapir is the sapphire a burning rock a burning diamond a sapphire something that's valuable something that's precious something that you work for something that shines and radiates all right you know what you can do climb israel and you could do your utmost muster up the requisite kayak give it your all and if hashem sees that shiva shabu is testable out there for seven weeks seven times seven in the olamateva 49 days you can give it your all and you work on yourself to become the biggest and best person you can be and you put it in with a brand with a slavish with a fire with a passion with an excitement if you do that then in my eyes god says this bro you can't get to level 50 but don't worry i'll carry you there if you get to level 49 and you give it to your role and do the best that you can i'll carry you over to level 50. i'll give you the torah i'll let you celebrate is built on seven weeks of sapir via hello irradiating and shining with a glow a glow that says i'm gonna take that fire the passion the fervor of miners i'm going to give him my old day after day i've got sees that you do a tasita and he essentially i'm going to do what i need to do and i'm going to carry over to the next mondragon at the end of the day what does god ever expect from us it's not about achievement it's about the effort that we exert the due diligence that's mandated every time god says i want to see you striving towards perfection are you in the ladder of continuous ascent in the world of rukhlius that's what god wants to see what do we have several times in chance god says give me your life give me your heart give me that passion at the source of the the lifeblood the knife nourishing blood that fire inside you i want to see you on fire for yiddish kite you're doing your utmost you're doing your best i'm not looking at the goal line i'm not looking did you score the touchdown should you achieve everything that you set your sights on what i want is how did you put in maximum effort did you muster up the requisite did you give it to all you're looking to go up what are we doing we're counting up famous at the end of the day whatever turret you're going to give but in the messenger we're not counting down and now we've got the shabbos we're counting up why because we count up because we're climbing a ladder continuous ascent or going up in yiddish kind you want to light the fire on the miss bear how do you get there it's a wrap it's a ramp los alamos how do we get to the fire and we don't walk upstairs we take a ramp what do we know about iran if you're not going up you're going down you're sliding down yiddish ideas i'm giving it to my all i've only gone initially 1524 if you're not striving in the near sky then you're going down we always have to be going up light the fire keep the flame alive day after day aglow's up here radiate and glow and show a kurdish broke with the fire of my new shama is alive and well i can't wait until i can re-experience that fire of mimoni i'm ready for it and preparing for it god take me where i need to go [Music]
