this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay so today was same medalia today was known as the first of the SRC made chuba because in between Russia we have seven days and each day corresponds to one of the days of the week so for instance today today was Monday a person could be misaki in all the Mondays of one's entire life so we still have a little bit of Monday to go so in the next 16 minutes we're gonna Jam pack as much tick on going back for our whole lives we're gonna do chuva right now right now [Music] on Mondays that's vidoy tube is very easy vidoy then harata it's great for all the time you stop sinning and you accept not to do it again you just cleaned up Monday Monday is good now all you have to worry about are Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays Friday Shabbos and Sunday but right now in the remaining Monday matter that you have left you could uh be Rectify all the Mondays of a person's life I want to just share a very important thought regarding by the way tembidai is the yard side of my grandmother Allah shalom um it's a very anti-climactic we have Rosh Hashanah which is a day of judgment and Sam gedalia is actually almost a page out of a different era of the year is so to speak the last remaining Ember of Corbin based so the Wolves were surrounded on assarbateves they were breached on Shiva subatamas they something that was destroyed on Tisch above but at least there was still a remnant of a community in yushalayim and then gedalia was assassinated and that was the end of it so that so to speak belongs in the era of like the three weeks like what's it to how did it get here wrong time of the year now we're in shuva mode how did how did Corbin based make its way into that circeva one very basic idea is that the main focus of our Felice on the amnaram is for the rebuilding of the base of the coming of the Gula so it's very appropriate it's not unconnected it's not disconnected it's thematic to the time of the year we're not just davening you can look at the schwmanze we're not davening Hashem please Hashem I need a new car the model of my car it's not good enough there's no that doesn't appear in that feeling it's not in there even even on the bottom in the new sudurem it's not a high Safa yeah it's not even a yes or even so you say yeah but at least money there's not one request for money except for all the way at the end up and it's a later edition of but the main body of this way is to dive in further but there's a very basic idea and this is the idea that I want to get get at and when Russian is over and you spend 48 hours in the shul you don't even want to go back to life I mean like it's like what is that you know that's not the real thing like you feel it you know it you're in the show for 48 hours beautiful tefila limous Hashem like you have a Moment of clarity this is this is what life is about and it's the same thing on Yom Kippur matsuyam Kipper everybody feels you know you feel like a million bucks because you're you're in touch with your nashama the nashama has clarity and the Seiko has clarity the problem is what happens in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is it a one congruous zman of clarity very often it's not very often it's Rosh Hashanah you know in other words we were to draw a graph of our spiritual standing you know so uh as Rosh Hashanah is approaching we're going higher higher higher Rosh Hashanah we're like wow we're all the way up there 48 hours and then it could be I'm not saying about anybody here but there's a certain danger that the graph will go down and then start going up again for Yom Kippur and we don't want that to happen what era in Jewish history highlights the danger of a break in the action we know we had a first base in Magnus stood for 410 years we had a second base to make Dash that stood for 420 years the era of the second base hamiktas we're going to put aside what we said in the ahava rabashir for a little bit but it was it was a very low madrega second base Magnus they had no what all right wasn't there wasn't there in the second base what happened it was there in the first place that make Dash it was there on the 409th year of the first base of mcdosh it was there on the 4010th year of the first place in mcdosh so then what happened to the srina why didn't the shrina come back what the problem is because there was a lapse between bias recent and bioshani why was there elapsed because we went to Bubble and you can't keep the momentum going when you're in Bothell you know the famous song when you're in bubble you can't keep that momentum going you never heard that song it's well known to they didn't come out with it yet but it's gonna be a big hit when in maybe when in Babylon you can't keep that momentum going 70 years in bevel we could not keep the momentum going yeah but there was still a community in arts Israel and there was a great leader who was he gedalia and if he wouldn't have been assassinated then instead of there being 410 years and 420 years with a 70-year break there would have been straight 900 years and then we would have kept the srina but you know why we lost the screener because there was a break in the action why was there a break in the action because the leader of the community in your shalayim was assassinated what was his name gedalia and because he was assassinated we lost the momentum what does that have to do with the seven days between rosh hashan and Yom Kippur it's an exact parallel you know where I got this idea from Rabbi Krauss um he was the the robin Young Israel of Hancock Park and also the rashiva in principal so he wants I once an article that he wrote this is his idea that the 70 years in between by his reshine and bayeshani is an exact parallel to the seven days between Roshan and Yom Kippur we're fasting today to remind ourselves don't lose the momentum if you lose momentum you're gonna have to start over again Yom Kippur if you have to start over again Yom Kippur it will be good but you might not get the shrina back you want to keep the momentum going the posix says enjoy life with the woman that you love with your wife that's what it means but the gamara says Nah who's your wife the Tyra so I want to share with you a very important thought did you know that you're not supposed to live life with your phone you're supposed to live life with the Torah now that's a very big challenge because when you have the phone and you're now not even talking about shul now I'm out of show because baksham in this school nobody even brings the phone into the show it's not even in those are the laws of Entry we said that there's conditions of Entry otherwise it's trespassing the thing is but when you come out of the shul how does a person live with that it's very hard to live with Hashem the only way to live with him is you have to think about him but it's very hard to live with Hashem if you're on standby to answer your phone ding oh who's that either a text or an email or a WhatsApp yeah but the thing is 99 of those messages are nonsense and those are the good ones so it's very difficult if a person wants to have their mind available that they're thinking about it and they're thinking about the Torah they have to have synonym that they're not Tethered to their phone that's just I'm just sharing with you simple it's a taiva otherwise instead of living life with Hashem and the Torah you live life with your phone you gotta choose who's Isha sharah hafta Who's Your Love in This World your telephone or God anyway that's a decision everybody has to make so I want to share with you very quickly a few schools to wipe out all your sin because I know that's why you came here you didn't come here to hear this I know for sure a few School eyes to wipe out your others now this comes from a much larger share there are 10 School Ice to be able to wipe out your sins they could be very easy I want to share with you a few of them number one the gamara says in Shabbos anyone who answers with all their strength they rip up any bad decrees so we don't know what happened yesterday nobody knows what happened who knows what kind of gazeros I'm sure that we hope they were all gazeroy's Thai Vice but what if we need to rip up a gazera how do you rip it up how do you rip up a gazera raw anyone who answers with all of their kayak they rip up Rafi right now if you would say with all your kayak how loud do you think it would be would be loud no be very loud even if you did with half your card will be very loud did you ever see anybody say how many show with all their class like the way you you the way you scream at your kid now I'm joking you're not a scream at children right everybody knows that but imagine if but back in the day when we were growing up you weren't allowed to scream but when our parents were growing up then back then how could how what does it mean so you say really now the truth is we like to homogenize everything the gamara says you're supposed to do my demo right until all the vertebrae are protruding but what do we do we go like this why I don't know not sure the gemara says you got a bow like you gotta bow for real and when you do Isis I don't know if people go like that I don't I'm not exactly sure what these motions are you have to take three steps back you have to bow deeply to the left then to the right then to the center so you say the same way we don't do anything the gemara says we also don't answer I mean we said this over somewhat recently says look if you're gonna answer literally with all your class they're gonna kick you out of the show they're gonna throw you out they're gonna call a number two guys are gonna come in to one strap on the top part of the body one shot on the bottom and they're gonna carry you away if you really do a book called kavanasai no I'm saying even in Yeshiva where they give it a Thing If a kid's gonna get up and really scream it nah they're gonna send them home they're gonna they're gonna eject him says like this ready Avada you have to answer me in history with all your kayak that's why you rev up as as you're as if you're going to say it with all your kayak but when it comes down to it you say it like you say it you say it regularly because you don't want people to think that you've lost your marbles but you should prepare yourself as if you're gonna say with all your kayak anyone who answers meaning you rev yourself up the election of uh the severeign all your sins will be atoned for that's one good school out it's a good school I know so now the question is do you also have to do chuva so save them says provided that you that you repent your sins simply it's in combination with chuva I want to tell you about another school anyone here make it to uman for Rosh Hashanah yeah what your brother it's happening over there right it's happening over there even the

nachman's big contributions was the concept of going into solitude he says that at certain times go into seclusion nobody should see you lift up your eyes on high and you say is Almighty who's the cause of all causes commune with and you know it says the Civic haradim many righteous people did this the rambam says to do this the ramban says to do this says to do this says if you look in the works of many we shine and we find that his boy did us and in solitude all the righteous early tadiqam did it and the makubalum say it could be more helpful to the soul seven times more than learning
