Rabbi Nissim Musheyev - Elul

happiness College hello to everyone we are at a time before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and this time is called yamirazon the Days of Favor which means the days that we would like to be looked on positively by Hashem there's so many different things that we can work on on these days and that we should work on between us and Hashem between us and Ben Adam between us and and people and everyone wants to know the secret what's the secret what what what is the secret that we could look favorably in hashem's eyes that Hashem will look down on us positively I'd like to focus on one thing that is close to me that I try to work on and I try to talk about which is the concept that judge everyone favorably have it done which means everyone should judge everyone else favorably positively in this week's team we have a pasuk a very very beautiful pursue it says that we should appoint judges we should appoint officers and they should judge the nation properly righteously on a deeper level at a personal level it's not only talking about us appointing judges and US appointing officers to make sure that there is order in the world order in society but on a deeper level it's telling us that we should judge when we judge we should always judge means righteously properly but it always means it also means positively we should accustom ourselves to judge positively one of the secrets one of the ways for us to be judged positively by Hashem if we judge others possibly if we have a choice of seeing the negative or positive it's so important for us to train ourselves to see the positive in people and when you see the positive in people you start becoming a more positive person yourself you start noticing positive and you start becoming more happier and little by little it helps a person or get away from from negative character traits getting away from viewing the world negatively getting away from being a negative person and ultimately it connects us to Hashem and it makes Hashem judge us favorably because Hashem knows our thoughts our actions he knows deeply why we're doing things and he could very easily judge us very negatively and say you know you didn't live up to what you wanted to do you were not doing it for the right you even the good you were not doing it for the right reason we can he can always choose and rightfully so to show that we're not living up to where we can be and we're always falling short but Hashem says I don't want to do that I want to focus on the positive but what's going to help me Hashem focus on your positive if I see you focusing on other people's positives if I see you being positive I see you not being negative and I see you being being a president who's trying to always find the excuse for someone else for not doing the right thing and if you if you do that
