We ask during Neilah, that Hashem should save us from the bad decrees, and it's all because our eyes are Hashem's and we protect them from forbidden sights. Learn more about Vayimaen and join our WhatsApp group here: https://www.vayimaen.org/ #vayimaen #shmiraseinayim #yomkippur

In just a short time,
all of Klal Yisroel
and the entire world actually,
will be entering a different atmosphere.
The atmosphere of יום הקדוש והנורא.
The holy and awesome day of Yom Kippur.
The day when
the Ribono shel Olam is מלא רחמים.
The day that we plead and beg
the Ribono shel Olam
to clean us of all our Aveiros,
and to grant us a גמר חתימה טובה.
Every single person
has different highlights
of the day of Yom Kippur.
For some, it's that Kol Nidrei moment.
For others,
it may be the Avoda of Yom Kippur.
But every one of us
has something tugging at our hearts
at the time of נעילה.
In those last few moments,
when we plead,
when we beg, when we cry,
Hashem, hear our Tefillos.
Wipe us clean and grant us
חיים, שלום, טובה וברכה.
There's one Tefilla
that we say during נעילה,
part of the Selichos,
And I want to offer
a novel explanation of this Selicha.
Ribono shel Olam,
hear the cry of my eyes,
the tears that are flowing from my eyes,
take those tears and preserve them.
And with those tears
Why do I think
that I'm able to ask that?
Because my eyes belong to you.
Because I work on my eyes,
I work on my Shemiras Einayim.
I'm trying.
I might have my Nefilos,
I may have my difficulties,
but my eyes, in general,
the work that I put
into my eyes is לך לבד,
that my eyes should be clean,
my eyes should be pure.
And in that zechus
we ask the Ribono shel Olam,
שתצילנו מכל גזירות קשות אכזריות.
We're going into Yom Kippur.
Let us all make some type of resolution.
Let us all be Mekabel on ourselves
something to do with our eyes,
some type of purity,
some type of cleanliness,
that we can be able to stand by נעילה,
and scream out from
the depths of our hearts,
Ribono shel Olam,
And I deserve to ask that
because my eyes are yours.
My eyes are cleaner,
my eyes are purer.
And with that, we will all,
Im Yirtze Hashem, be zoche
to a גמר חתימה טובה.
