Perfectionism Is the Enemy of Yiddishkeit

Tag of culture. Tag of means anyway. Just give it to me. The Gamara is bringing out the point of don't be a perfectionist. Perfectionism kills [music] Yiddishkeit in a lot of ways. And that's what the Gamara here is saying. Hashem wants you to bring it at night, to bring it to harvest it when it's attached to the ground. It should be moist, blah blah blah blah blah. But one can say to himself, "Listen, I'm tamei." Like the Gamara says, "A feel of Shabbos is tag of a feel of tamei." Person says, "I'm a tamei person." "You know what I did today? You know what a vera I did today? You know what a thought I had today?" And Hashem says, [music] "Yes, I'd rather you be tahor, I'd rather you do the whole thing." I'd rather you sit and and concentrate and and everything. But if you don't have the whole thing, give me whatever you can and I'm going to be happy with that also. Because learning Torah is a connection with the Ribono shel Olam. I connect to Hashem through the Torah. So imagine if you have a child and you said to yourself, "Well, I planned this whole outing with this child and I was going to go out to a nice restaurant with my child. Oops, I missed it. I I I came home late. So that's why I'm not going to talk to my child tonight." That doesn't make sense. So you're going to have a one-minute conversation with the child. At least you got something. So so you didn't have a whole daf, but at least two minutes of Torah. Don't put down the two minutes of Torah when you're on your treadmill and you're jogging. If that's what you have, that's what you have. That's also good. It's better than not doing anything. Don't be a perfectionist.
