Mazel Tov MDY - Siyum Shabbos

especially i want to give a special congratulations mazel tiff to all of our shared mutual talmidhim all of those of you who learned the daily daffy me with rebellious lit and you also join my daily sheer in the rambam's which we learned together baruch hashem every day on the yeshiva dot net mazel tov mazel tov to all of you call me khayal and remember what the shabbos shall me writes at the end of massachusetts he explains the last story in the gemara that rabbit by rabuna was sitting in the tub in a tub of water and he was measuring it and allah said you can only measure for the sake of a mitzvah and not stomp to measure water in a tub it's not a mikvah and he says i'm assassinate i'm just keeping myself busy i'm not seriously measuring it says that the gemara says about become that maya miss today in my melatonin so he says i'm sitting in toyota and shabbos and he's measuring the toyota he's measuring the size of toner so all it says middah it says by tayden it's mid-recovery doesn't have a middle toyota doesn't have a shirt mitzvah by ain't served he says what i'm measuring is that i am so sick in the world i am so stressed and overwhelmed with the tieredness with the hustling and bustling of the world and i don't feel i have the time and the mental space to be able to be matsulia i'm looking at the measurement of how big and how gigantic and how infinite it is and i realize how difficult it is for me with the asakum in the world to really be able to master and be much less that's the end of shabbos shabbos is the one day we were given as a gift to be able to separate from the miss asik ba alma and completely submerge ourselves in the avanade that every single day you carve out an hour of the day or eight minutes of the day or whatever the shear is to be able to go into the avanade maya to be able to go into the sacred beautiful amazing holy pure and true world of toyota mazel tov there's an incredible measure found in the introduction to the enyakov it's also found in the maharal and then and here's where the mattress goes avengers says that one day in the basement benzoma they were having as to what is the most important line in torah so benzomine gets up and says good one bananas gets up and says i was like this is taking place like today they'd be like this is what i was in basement people would be trash talking back then they were much more respectful sugarman now since there's no song made up for this one it probably didn't have a chance but like the good under the underdog that it was the sleeper in the first round one of the rabbis stood up and declared the most gun of the verdict follows that's the mattress it's fascinating right like what are they picking lines are they like picking like yearbook lines like what's your favorite one and ben zuma's like my favorite i love shma and bananas is like well i love hafta and shrimp like i know they're wonderful but like really the corbin thomad like that speaks to me like that's what's going on the basement like what else are they doing this is you understand that like these are the greatest people that ever walked the face i mean we were talking about tanayman people that were deciding that they were they were explaining tyra they were learning they were changing the this is what they're doing they're fighting over which ones which was better what in the world does this mentorship mean so when you look at the things that we do in life sometimes we do things that are complete and utter failures and it's it boggles my mind that we keep on doing them one of the greatest failures of activities that we engage in is what's called resolutions a resolution is when somebody is at a period of time and for whatever reason they decide they want to do something else they're sitting at yom kippur and they say this is it right this is hashanah [Music] this is going to be my year it's rosh hashanah jim kippur i'm going to do this and do that and i'm going to be better to my wife and my kids i'm going to learn shots i'm going to write a book i'm going to run tomorrow i'm in and in the beginning it gets good and then you do it and you know and then after a while like it fizzles out and you know you have a couple good days and you go back i'm gonna lose this i'm really gonna lose weight i'm really now i'm really gonna lose weight this time this is the for sure for real right everyone always loses weight tomorrow right i'm really lose weight no i'm gonna start tomorrow morning just pass the dessert and like that first few days it's like amazing and then like after a week it's like what up by sukkas people like did i even have a russian namekip when you look through the stats at least in america they did they did the research sixty percent of americans make resolutions every holiday seasons guess how many remember a resolution is something you make for yourself eight percent eight percent have any lasting value why what you're standing at a crossroads you're at uh beginning of a year maybe a god for a funeral or a wedding and a moment of inspiration you make a decision you make a change why can't we seem to follow through and the answer comes down to understanding how our brain works our brain is functions of a concept called neuroplasticity and what that means is it's like as if your brain is it's like plasticine it's flexible it's malleable it's like in a way like you're making you're playing with putty it's not like that but it's like that the way our minds work is that within our brains is billions and billions of neurons and whenever we have a thought what takes place is neurons start to fire and they create like a wire together neurons that fire together wire together is how the scientists explain it so if i have a thought what's really happening is two or three or four neurons are firing together and the more those same neurons fire together the stronger that connection gets until one day it's a rock-solid connection and it becomes literally a piece of your brain so the reason why i speak english isn't because i was born a genius in the english language and it just so happened to be that the goodness broke was like listen i got a kid who speaks english where am i going to put him um he doesn't speak english that well so i can't put him in england that's for sure you know be a good place to put him the way he speaks brooklyn and like boom there i was i was born in brooklyn and i came out i'm like okay let's you know let's polish off this english now i'm a regular kid i came into this world when i came to this world i had a brain and the brain thank god was ready to make connections and i grew up in an environment and when i grew up my mother looked at me and said charlie and she pointed to a cup and said cup what was going on in my little brain was that in my brain there was a word it was a sound and then there was a picture a cylinder and what was going on in my little brain is that these these two things were firing and i heard it once and like a cup and then then i heard it again and then i heard it again and then i heard it four million more times every day 50 60 times a day you're growing up in america you always you're in a jewish home you're always hearing cup and plate and food it's all part of your life and you i'm hearing and i'm hearing and i'm hearing it every time i hear it those connections get stronger and stronger and stronger and then when you wake up one morning you wake up in the middle of the night and you go what's this thing i'm not going like can i google it i know it's a cop and someone goes ha ha how'd you know that you go i don't know and if you break my head open and you would go into my head you would see a connection under the word cup you couldn't if you would know it i'll look for it had i been born in israel the same may my mother said charlie koss i wouldn't even potentially know the word cup i would know cos because wherever i am the sounds that i'm hearing the things that i'm seeing are creating thoughts and those thoughts are creating connections and those connections are changing who i am how i think the reason why i can speak a language is because they're just thoughts the reason why i know how to get to work is because of the connections that i'm making everything that we do every day of our lives whether we like it or we don't everything we see everything we hear goes into our brains and if you hear them again and again and again sometimes they fire once and it's a very thin line sometimes they fire fire fire fire and at some point it becomes rock solid you know why resolutions fail for because resolution is a destination i want to lose weight i want to learn shots i want to be successful destinations don't do anything for us they don't change us they just tell us where to go but our brains doesn't have to get there don't change you it's good to know where you want to go but life isn't about getting something life is about becoming something you don't change with goals goals direct you you change with repetition you change by doing things again and again and again and again and every time you do it the same things fire and they get stronger and stronger you wake up on money you're like what that's just me when you exercise every day again and again you wake up in the morning like what this is what i do so i am i have this strength i speak this language i feel comfortable here this is how i act is how i talk it's not it's repetition that's why goals don't take you places habits take you places if you want to change your life the way you change your life is not by setting a resolution it's by setting a ritual you do something every single day you are changing your brain when you change your brain you're changing yourself and then you change what you get this incredible medrash is not just like three zadikim picking their favorite line on a slow you know afternoon in the base measures like you know on a tuesday in teves this incredible madras is giving us the insights on how do you achieve godless what's the most important possible you have moments like that where you're walking down the street and you hear something you see something and your mom as you can feel the kurdish bro whose presence it's in those moments that benzoma is saying this is what it means to be a yid at that second it's those moments when you walk around and you can see a clarity that everything is hashem and bananas comes and goes you know what really the moment what the moments are the moments of when we're connected and cloudy is one those moments and shimon pozzi says moments are amazing but moments don't change you you know what changes you it's like ha baboker every single morning it's a cavas echad one canvas you don't go from zero to sixty it's one one every day you don't go from i i don't know how to eat i'm eating wrong time i'm starving i never ran time ran 10 miles i never learned 40 blot 1 it's a million degrees in august in in the harabayas they're not wearing shoes the ac isn't on and they're they're shifting that kevis and they're bringing it up and it's so hot it's it's freezing cold in january and the floor is stoned in the basement and they're freezing and guys like really you can't take a day off and it snows it's a random day in adar and they've done this a million times and there's no hoopla there's nothing going on and purim is in that perm didn't happen maybe it yet happen but either way and they still do it in the morning and the night in the morning and the night in the morning and the night when the jew has the strength to be consistent even in the smallest things you know what happens they don't get the corponatamid they become the carbon dominant you become the ritual it's in your brain it's who you are that's the power of da fiomi it's every day every day every day every day at some point it's not about gaining the gemara it's about becoming the gemara it's who you are until you breathe it's how your day operates you merge your brain with the torah it's the most incredible exercise for how to change i want to give you a mazel tov is the second longest in shas there wasn't that like quick seam you're gonna get in a little bit as you as you track through moed and you get those seams you feel amazing this is the long it's a carbon that's what it was you just engage in the tummy every day every day every day every day every day [Music] in particular i want to give you a special shake because you're in part of something very special his enthusiasm his approach his auva who he is a person what he stands for effort he puts into it there's a reason why your group is exploding not stum it's not just because of the virus because there's a lot of people doing it it's because where stevensky's special because what he puts into it is unique as he combines humor and and how hard he works for it and who who he is it's all the package of what tyra stands for and when you're engaged in a process with someone like this you are not just learning the daf you're learning you're learning how to walk how to talk how to how to love learning you're learning that can be it's not pencils down it could be the best part of your day your brain is learning that every day so that after a while that's how you see the world but you know what's so credible about this group and i want you guys to understand this and keep on rolling you see what happens is when you do something again and again your mind conditions itself but when you sing with people again and again not only do you do you get the thing you get the people you are solidifying a real harvard a cover that is not bound together by an occupation not bound together by a political party you're not even bound together by a neighborhood in which you live in this is a cover bound together by things that are non-physical you are bound together by the fire of torah a fire that does no boundary a fire that doesn't know virus a fire that has been the torch that we've passed down from generation generation since mosh verbeno came down that high what you're doing here isn't just learning a what you're doing here is you are conditioning not just that fire to be part of your life you're conditioning to do with evra with a cover of claudius not just one ever in kali israel with cloud israel from different backgrounds different countries different time zones because when you live in a space that is beyond time and space like learning you don't need to be around the corner from somebody when your life surrounds and what the center of the day is that gemara the guy across can look very different but at the end of the day there's not much there it's all the same it's just a little bit on the outside but truth is we're all exactly alike we're abandoning my time last year location my brother to you is that you should continue you should continue be strong don't give up don't get lost in aravind irvin's tough you're gonna come out of it trust me as soon as you close aravin you've got like smooth sailing for a while don't lose when you wake up in the morning you're too tired fight to get there when it's too hard on a weekend fight to get there it's like because you know that your calendar will be waiting for you and when this hedra are committed to bring people in to bring people on to realize what it means to be part of claudia israel and to commit to always fighting to consistency not only do you gain gemara it becomes a piece of you it's how you see the world it's how you breathe it's how you eat it is the life in which you are and there is nothing sweeter than that mazel tov on the seam we should be zaife you should be zaika to finish many more simula we should be zaifa together to make sure him together all of us near shalam habinuya with the smell of the corbin in our nostrils singing and dancing with the binyan basa of kenya may come in our days i'm here to be i mean a tremendous mazel tov to rafaeli and to gans kalali so because the 8-minute daf has become such a huge thing i remember by the ceo of shastener cesaro seeing ravelli and co you know who you are co setting up and and trying to get people on board and getting one then ten and fifty then a hundred and a thousand and five 000 and 10 000 and 15 000 quite literally thousands upon thousands of people are now learning da fa yomi which maybe would not have been learning and and it's not just impacted them but impacted their entire families in fact the entire families it's such a huge thing of what's going on over here you know to go and prepare for such a thing so have ali because i understand what it is to prepare for adaf it's not simple to go to the parent to give over but also i should go with all the participants and let this be a impetus to continue to keep moving forward and you know what sometimes you're missing here you miss a little there that's okay stay on track but maybe give one word of advice make sure if for some reason you missed a little bit write down what you missed write down what you missed and you come back to it keep stagging keep learning keep growing keeping mizaki cloudy so mazel again to everyone who's involved and to the family and to the kindle you know with the uh the amount of nachas that your bonus is having from you being messiah is i give you a bracha to go as we ended with to continue going i uh unfortunately do not participate in the sheer of rabeli stefanski but i've heard from multiple multiple people how wonderful it is and i have a talmud here in baltimore maryland named official gross who was a geshwar and khasid of rebelli's shigurum safiyemi and he asked me if i could go ahead and say a few words and then rally said fans contacted me personally and asked me if i just say a few words and first of all yahshua and shabbos is a major accomplishment and it's a wonderful thing that you're doing and i hear from people all over the world how much they enjoy your shear i'd just like to share two thoughts two quick thoughts and number one is that ravelli mentioned to me how there's a source of almost of camaraderie and almost a family but to the people that participate in this year all over the world so it reminds me of a gemara who you saw me in her giga yoshami says in her giga um so you had an amazing ability and that is it brought people together and once it brought people together that's the way it remained so what the xiaomi means is as follows three times a year all of claudius will have to come up to you shalom there's not enough hotel space and not enough restaurants for everybody to be able to eat so the hakam said people will eat with each other people from all over shayarit israel would come to people you should lime they would all be together there was only one problem and that is that there are people who were mock bid who are makbiti always eat things but tahara which means with caduceus cochin even if they weren't kehanim which means i'm not talking kosher i'm talking tara so normal in normal circumstances you can't eat what the person is not makbit but said an amazing thing it says when it comes to shallow shred golem they relaxed this this halacha and said you can eat with everybody i mean they're all kosher but they said you don't have to worry about this homura and therefore everybody ate with everybody else and it created because people in the way you get to need to relate with people you eat together with them so there was this barrier between tamir khame and non-tamil came to eretz came to to uh golem and then the xiaomi continues hashanah once this bond was created it lasted even beyond the shallow golem and today unfortunately we do not have the character golem to go ahead and to create this bond but we have something that creates a bond among people and that's the daf hayami and that is what ramayana shapiro and fat had in mind that when a jew travels with shalayim and he gets to america he's been on a boat for who knows how long and he comes to america he walks into a shul what offer are you holding on and creates this bond and her belly tells me that that it has created a tremendous bond almost like a family between the people that all participate in the in this particular daphaimi and therefore this is a kingdom of you shall i ima yaktov that keeps this keeps us together keeps the people together which besides the talmud tyre etc in and of itself the other aura i like to say is that there is a when we say the hadron uh this is our board that i heard from from zundel kreuzer when we say the hadron shame shazartani the same shabbos cane tasmania he pointed out that there's an inconsistency in that in that statement so his point was it should be parallel either say kashem shahzadin lasayam messefter shabbas kaine tasmani lasaya messerto sargeras sector and he finishes and he starts the message the salt and the it's a horror isn't the spoil because a lot of people start and they don't finish but when a person finishes a message then the eight sahara sees this guy is serious and therefore the yetzara says i gotta go ahead and put in stumbling blocks that the person shouldn't continue therefore shame but now we all need a special seat ishmael because they say the suddenly it's our is going to stop trying to stop us cain tells rainy la haskell that you all finished bracha says schmuck and massacre it goes great it's very negative of course they're difficult sukiyas as you should know the six parak hill and other parts of this brothers they're marvelous but it's not overwhelming mr is a lot different you know the world says it's long there are some difficult complicated messages and then there's all sorts of sustainable satuma matara et cetera it's hard but you made it you finished shabbos that's no small deal but now now comes the acid test now comes mr aravin which is much more difficult and the sahara is going to be in there hey he ain't getting it you know throw in the towel don't throw in the towel you don't get this sugar go on to the next sugar it's not it's not beyond your reach and therefore that's the bracha shame i want to wish a tremendous tremendous mazelotta to rabbi stevenski and the entire kabura on the cm to make many many human together give tremendous hazard to each other and mrs hashem finish learn and no shots harry shalom is making the representation of the los angeles um and he asked me to be the one to i guess represent and to say a few words so the halogen rebellio stefanski said that look you know i do it for eight minutes every single day people can do it for one minute it should be easy to see what i go through and it's not true i vehemently disagree to be able to express our gratitude in one minute or less at least in eight minutes you can talk your heart but in one minute anybody who can express their gratitude to the awesomeness of the daffy me the rabbit stefanski has been given us if you can do that in one minute then i question the depth of that gratitude but we only have this little time and it's already at 50 seconds so i just have to say this i rip stefanski we all thank the entire habura but most of all personally i think the yiddin who go on zoom every single day like the gemara here in kufn bay says that there are different madregas of yiddin when it comes to toilet mob and there are different madrigas of ribs the fancy daffy army listeners there are those lazy ones like myself i go on the app i listen at my leisure and then you have the idea who get up and on zoom their consistency because if we didn't have that zoom sitting in front of rep stefanski so then that spark in his eye would be dim just a little but when he gets on and he says good morning rabbi sai and he starts to schmooze and that gives some power that literally fills him full of that beautiful sparky giving over the torah that enters into all of us and gets arnesham as lit up for the rest of the day may it continue may all of us become bigger yiddin was so much different now that we've all finished this masada and we're moving on with such bigger yiddin thank you so much to rabbi stefanski to his reps and to his family to all of our reputants and to everybody who has given up to be able to be consistent in building our hashamas closer to hashem thank you masaltov marvel tov to rebellio shir and to all of you that have been privileged now to finish masaka shabbas and to begin massachusetts heiress it's a great great accomplishment and the daily study of torah gives us life and inspiration and it really sets the whole day it's the background for everything that we do and it sanctifies the day so again i want to wish you congratulations on the achievement and a broke of our sloga to continue and to be able to complete shots and to grow and we should all be well and hear good news one from another
