Shavous: Accepting Ourselves - Rabbi Moshe Don Kestenbaum

i was speaking to a young man the other day who very special person spends many hours learning but he's still haunted from mistakes of the past and the echoes of messages negative messages he heard from some of his teachers about what a bad person he is he was and he's still recovering still trying to move forward as we head towards the kabbalah torah one of the challenges that we may face we think who am i i'm not worthy to receive the torah because of things i've done mistakes i've made mistakes i am making but listen to an incredible idea from shimshin pink is that sal i was listening to a sheer and listen to what he says he says why is it that we celebrate shus on vav siva on the day that we receive the torah or pink is asked her fingers points out look what happened after the torah was given we sinned with and then we needed to have a second kabbalah satoru moshe arabino went up and received the second luchos on yom kippur so why is it that we're still celebrating bob sivan we should be celebrating yo matan torah onion kipper and her pinkish explains her pinkish says that even though we fell after mayamid our senate but that experience of harassing kabbalah torah lives with us made us who we are made us great people and we fell but the greatness is still there and that's something we need to climb back to but it's still inside of all of us and our pink is it says every experience that we have of elevation of inspiration we move up and a good show and astray and then afterwards we come so to say back down to earth and we think that wasn't me but pinkish says no that was you you were there and now as is hashem it's something you can come back to [Music] we think about kabbalah satoru we have to realize as the measure says each and every one of us our soul was by our senate we accepted the torah we were there by ourselves macabre the torah there's no such thing as i'm not worthy of kabul i had a kabbalah it's our job this show us to re-accept the torah and maybe just as important to re-accept ourselves to understand to realize our greatness the kedusha the holiness that's inside of us the torah that's inside of us that we just need to actualize we just need to connect to ambassador hashem we recognize our greatness recognize who we are will be zohar to an incredible kabbalah and a year and many years of tremendous tremendous growth and aliyah everyone should have a beautiful yanta [Music]
