We won't lose by not blowing shofar when Rosh Hashanah is on Shabbos! | Torah class with Rabbi Mintz

welcome nice to see you and here we are just a few days before Rosh Hashanah they are mad in the day of judgment are of thoughts are towards that day which is such a special day the Jewish New Year the day of sem codes close to us this year is very different than most years some people worried about it the first day of Rosh Hashanah comes out of the Shabbos and when first ever comes out in Shabbos we do not perform the midst of chauffeur and some people are nervous that we know that she shows a day of judgment and chauffeur is one of the things that helps us get through with a good year that some should write us down in and uh if there's no chauffeur they're nervous so my words tonight are like this title I gave it don't worry even though we don't have to chauffeur we still can come up with a good year Hashem was not going to punish us for keeping Shabbos in that belong to shelter but I wanted to put that into actual terms to understand it first of all the significance of the chauffeur it uh is a mitzvah hearing it it is a way of making us happy and satisfied also on the other hand a way of scaring us and getting us a little bit nervous two sort of opposite emotions but both of them were true number one the fact that it's going to give us happiness and make us satisfied to feel good but the fact that the shelter represents hashem's presence like the Psalms of David culture foreign King when they announced announced Anointed The King in the old days they used to blow trumpets and blow Topher and celebrating the Great honor they have for the king that they ruling over them and today when Hashem comes close to us he's a king all year but the 10 days the king these special places closest to us the fact that is the king that he uh shows himself as a king more than the whole year how's that by making Iran but then a day of judgment so the fact that Hashem is so close to us you feel in the air something that the 10 days it's a feel different feeling and the closest Hashem which is such a great honorable privilege for us to have a Hashem of our king the king of all Kings is our King the Jewish King and therefore they have happiness that we can grow and become greater people and we're holy people and we're fulfilling people by Hashem come to closest the fact that he's the king and that's the point that is very happy for us the other hand it's a scary kind of thing the chef being so close because every King has his laws that he puts forth to his people to his nation that is King over and those laws expect them to keep them and if they'll keep them they're open for punishment the king to be upset with them and the same thing gives us a code of laws to give us authority to keep the laws that he gave us laws they gave us in Mount Sinai throughout the desert at the 613 laws that we have the saint gave us in the Holy Torah the five books is Moses says look I'm your king if I'm your king then you have to accept my rules and my code of laws and uh have you kept them a whole year let's take a look Hashem as a record of everything that we we did that we thought that we spoke and he wants to see how we're doing with following his code of laws as a king and according to the observance of those laws assembly write us down so to speak for the cup for the coming year what's going to happen to us to our families to our city to our country to the world everything's written down in Russia according to the actions of people that sin naturally with his great kindness wisdom wants us to come out favorably that they have judgment and it gives us a well to do children that we should repent the case will bring lacks and not doing what we should be doing and not doing and do doing what wrong and right give us a chance to prove it that we should uh we have remorse for our actions that are not proper and take upon themselves not to do anything wrong anymore so therefore that's going to help us to come to a good judgment on the day of Rosh Hashanah the day of judgment because if the first day of Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 days of repentance that Hashem gives us between Australian Kemper so it's a day he wants to shake us up he wants to be a bit scarce to a certain amount to certain level to an extent really advising the what the day of Russian is I mentioned previously that today was John the New Years for the Jews it's not like the New Years of the worldly of people in the world was just living it up and you know having a good time and just drinking whatever it's a serious day like it's a happy day but also it's a day of fear and oh in front of Hashem now this is for this great kindness he wants us to perfect ourselves he wants us to go through this world to prepare ourselves the world to come to have the ultimate the uh the the Eternal joy and and pleasure as him has in store for us by keeping the laws of Torah so therefore with his great kindness he gave us a day of judgment that we should think and contemplate are we living up to hashem's rules as our King that we're so happy with are we living up to his will well he wants us to be successful in our travels through this world to prepare us a short time we live here to uh prepare us for Eternal pleasure and and reward for Hashem so we're talking about the Rosh Hashanah there's a day of happiness for the day of fear and awe in front of Hashem the fear is number one we don't want to be punished for a lack of observance of this God's laws and we I'll talk to him King that besides the fact we're not wouldn't be afraid of punishment but that's that's one thing but standing in front of a great king an old powerful person was standing all in front of him there's two types of called fear and uh in front of Hashem so that's one side of the coin now comes to chauffeur that's actually what sofa is supposed to do for us show for blood to chauffeur anointing saying we accept God as our King we mentioned before that was done trumpets and chauffeurs were blown to show the king's presence in front of the nation that he that he's a charges ahead of we're so happy you are King but we're also standing on in front of you because we know that you want us to keep you the Lord said he gave us under the penalty of punishment if we don't keep them for our benefit naturally he wants us to shake us up to do what we have to do that's one side of the coin that's every Rosh Hashanah that's why we look forward to hearing the show for blown because we want to get this uh Cyrus that's waking us up like the rambam says the shelter tells us we wake up your people sleeping people sleeping a whole year they're not thinking what the purpose of life is and not doing what Hashem wants them to do they do and learn from the people around them from the non-jewish people don't have the Torah and the surface tells us to wake up and realize you're Jewish people especially the chosen people I want you to benefit for Eternal pleasure purpose of the impression of the world wake up and do the loss of the Torah and be worthy of having that great pleasure Eternal pleasure to wake us up Shabbos why do we say the rabbi said no Shabbos don't close shelter the reason is because they'll get this because the person who does not know how to blow chauffeur so he's going to go so a person who is knowledgeable how to go shelter to teach him how to blow and since the Shabbos you might be so excited to do the Mitzvah chauffeur he might take this over and carry it outside of his house into a public domain which is one of the 39 laws of Shoppers we're not supposed to do to carry from the house into the street or carry Street into a house we came to the street from one place to another so person out his out of his excitement to fulfill the Mr chauffeur the Minecraft for some God forbid profane Chavez macal Chavez and that would be a terrible thing is one of the worst since a person can do desecrate to Shabbos one of the 39 forbidden actions one of them is like I said caring from one place to another from a private domain to a public positive private so therefore the rabbi said Shabbos because we're afraid somebody back to college office and my desperate Travels by caring chauffeur to the to the to the person to teach them how to Blow shuffle imagine that what does this come from this is what the rabbi said what Lawanda Torah did they see it to stop blowing the such a beloved mythical surgery they said don't do it foreign thing we talked about before being fearful of Hashem we don't want to go against God's laws we don't want to be punished for going to London we're standing all in front of him we want to keep his laws and therefore the Mitzvah viewers have sham is bigger than other misses in the tower because the Torah stands has a basis for us to keep loss of the tour because we have real session no fear of punishment there no no standing alone in front of him people wouldn't keep the laws of the Torah because they wouldn't have that that that push that drive for them to make sure to listen to hashem's story by fulfill the Mitzvah viruses missed one of the 613 Mitzvahs and the Torah is the fear Hashem stands foreign because once we fear our sin is Hashem then we say we have to do all those of the Torah they all stand on the Miss Universe such an important Mitzvah therefore our rabbis have the the right and the obligation to make laws to make sure that we don't desolate going against any of the laws of the tutorial and one of those things keeping Shabbos that we don't want people to decorate the Shabbos even to do amidst therefore for fear of going against the Torah of caring from one place to the other and excitement of doing the Mitzvah they said we better make a lot No Sir Francis because it's going to have this problem by certain people maybe it might happen imagine how holy sadness is that that's how sadness is to stop the whole nation of yourself and kind of Israel for performing the Mitzvah of children because maybe someone that's one two people will carry out the Shabbos is we don't realize when we don't keep Shabbos we do something forbidden establishments we don't know what they destruction because in the higher echelons of the world that we can't see with the naked eye but it's like you tell a person don't push that button it's dangerous nah what's pushing the button now what could be wrong and it makes a hydrogen bomb for pushing a little button wait a minute push the button how could it such Destruction come from pushing a little button well it does and you push the wrong buttons it can destroy the world the same way could destroying the so much destruction the accomplice tells us the uh the uh the buildings and the structures and the higher echelons of the world the spiritual structures are very much affected by our actions and by our thoughts and by words and by addressing in the Shabbat doing the wrong thing a Shabbos because such destruction which comes back to haunt us in this world because we are all dependent on the world above us to give us the right kind of Chef of Brotherhood right an abundance of blessing if we do the wrong thing in this world by doing sins it has a big effect on the world above which affects us at the will below so now we can understand and not be upset by the fact we don't know because after the shelter does for us keeping Shabbos not one Shepherd does for us even more what shuffling does for us because it shakes us up it gives us fear we said before be careful people I'm your king I'm not lost you have to keep them you might be punished we don't keep them few benefits I'm doing that naturally but this is something to shuffle wakes us up in order to give us that push in the drive to think about our thoughts think about their actions how we're supposed to act and make us contemplate and revisit our our lifestyle and what we're doing and what purpose in life is so if it's taking us up for fear make sure that we're doing the right thing that God is not going to punish us for show them God for a bit that is exactly what's happening with Kim Chavez and not blowing the chauffeur why are we not willing to serve this we're fearful that maybe we might come to go against those guys the holy mythical keeping Shabbos one of the most important this was in the whole Tariff of six certain Business Services on those on top so therefore the same thing what the chauffeur does for us that's what Chavez does for us when we don't blow shelter because that belong to suffer we're showing and thinking we have to send the thing about it doesn't come by itself worry not long servants happens because we might come to this with the Shabbos and we're fearful of that Shabbos God is very upset with us because that's just important it's a God gave us and one of the most important myths is that the whole world is depending on the hotel is depending on to believe Hashem created the world that's what Shabbos is all about so therefore we say said the beginning some people fearful don't blow Surfer and Shabbos what's going to happen when the rest of the whole year we don't have to have that Mitzvah don't worry if you keep Shabbos and don't blow the chauffeur what's the second level keep them about the shelter again but what the chauffeur does for us keeping chapters does first by not pulling the suffix does for us to wake us up to give us a push give us a chill in our spine that Hashem is our King he wants us to keep us lost and we have to care that all means Keepers lost that's how we have to think about nothing well the shelter and not coming one suffer shots I don't want to go against what he attends he wants me to keep Shabbos I have to make sure to keep Shabbos even at the cost of the whole Jewish people napalon chauffeur on Sabbath because one of the two people might carry on Shabbos that's how important services and so we have to look at the Mitzvah that seems like it's very what's the difference I do that they don't do it yeah it makes obligible to push that button and push that button if I dialed this number I might uh get Australia I died this this number might get the person around the block both the buttons are simply such as simple different uh same type of action and it kept a world of difference same way every Mitzvah that we do you might say well what's the difference if I do this in capital don't do this and Shabbos no it's a world of difference the day will come the shovel will open up to the skies and open up they take away the barriers we're able to see how every Mitzvah that we do what the effect it has in the world on ourselves and everybody around us and everybody in the other part of the world every bit of that we know never a sin that we commit it has a great influence in everything in the world everybody and everything and that's what we have to think about on but we should think to ourselves I don't have to celebrate them do it but Shabbos will do it the fact I'm not pulling the chauffeur to think that what what it's all about and we know that there are things on Rosh Hashanah that they chauffeur gets us to think about and if we don't do it on Shabbos we have to Chavez who gets to think about number one like we said before Sophie says Hashem is our King upon sheltered they were accepting him having happiness of being our King Shabbos itself what's up is all about Shabbat is all about how some created the world invested under six days the rest of the seventh day he's the creator of the world he created us every one of us is created by Hashem everything that we have in our bodies and our souls that we have that we don't see every two cents as so created all of it all of us everything about us all are from head to tell us and created this all told us he's our King he's our creator the same message that that she wants us to realize who our creator is between us our families the world everything our food everything we have are some created in six days invested on the seventh day he's a he's a king that we have to realize he keeps Us Alive it makes the heart beat every every every every second he may give us the power to breathe give us the power that for example blood to circulate everything about us to see to hear to talk Hashem he said one he sat behind it and he's a king over every part of us he created every part of us he's the king of all of us so that was the chauffeur is representing if we think about the Shabbos every Shabbos we get to think about this every shot every Sabbath number two to show her very important thing about it is the shelter is a ram sworn a ram is very significant by Jewish people because the time of Abraham abrahamina was commanded by Hashem to bring his son as a sacrifice on the altar to Hashem his beloved Son Isaac who was commanded after so many years he wanted to have him as a son that's him now take him as a sacrifice to me of course he didn't let him go through it was only a test and then for them and said but he took his son to the mountain where the best of Victors stood with a counselors today his son Isaac ready willing able to sacrifice him on the other altar attention and that's what we're supposed to learn from there that we have to be ready to sacrifice Hashem and not let our animalistic uh feelings and uh things which drive us and pull us to do different actions in the world that we have to have our cycle our intellect to rule over our emotions and not let our emotions make us do what we do but our faithful or intellectual Governors how we should act and how to do things and our character traits should be minimized and not the things that cause us and uh and and push us to do what we do but we have to sacrifice just like government they'd love to live but the intellect Hashem said no I'm watching the sacrifice of his son so therefore he went ahead ready to do it even though we stopped at the last minute but they were building willing and able to go and about the Sam's command the same way as him give us a different this is difficult it's hard look at how some of our grandparents came to this country they couldn't make a living they went to factories to get jobs and they were told by the boss who don't come for Shoppers don't come the whole week you have to come and Shop us they're very good Wicked people some of the Jewish people even that the word capturing people and they said to them that you know that we want to get paid you want to work here you have to work on Shabbos and many of our ancestors and all our families said no I'm not going to work on Shabbos well how am I going to eat I'm gonna sure we'll take care of one way or another nobody died from it but they went to a very difficult times what's trying to find works that you shouldn't work on Shabbos this is like I remember a green one yet went to sacrifice his son sacrifice that's we have to think about when the chauffeur blows and with the chauffeur is the Ram's Horn the ram is that from moving the brothers that sacrifice Simpson don't drink the sacrifice everyone so what should I do so Iran happened walking by he sacrifice the rim that ramp represents the Mrs nephesh the willingness to to uh to to give everything we have for hashem's sake even our life hurts him sake that we have to have to do sometimes are going to choose different times of our history and that's what Shabbos represents with sir Snapfish difficulties to keep the Shabbos like sometimes some people some some circumstances like 74 and difficult to keep it but we'll keep it because I'm set to do so so that is what the shelter represents the Isle and keeping Shabbos which you think about Shabbos the same way every shop especially the Shabbos but the chauffeur we don't have to be in front of us to show the Pacific of it where Jewish people have to be ready to give everything they have even their life sometimes a certain circumstance not chapter still don't have to give your life for example but uh you have to give your your sustenance your livelihood your wages and to find a different job not to desperate to have us so that what the shop represents Shabbos episode the same thinking get that that uh wonderful feeling that the chauffeur gives us to think about that ready to give everything we have for Hashem service represents the same thing and number three the Shabbos Surfer represents the future of the world Hashem will show himself to the world instead of hiding behind nature as simply such thing as Nature by itself Hashem will reveal himself to the world he's the king he's the Creator and that's what the chauffeur will represents now it's accomplishment below the loud show for the show our freedom reveal himself that's that's what the shuffle represents we're supposed to think about the third set the first sentence hashem's Kingdom the Second Step shows our our our our ours our willingness to give everything for Hashem the third represents the future of the world Hashem will reveal himself to everybody will know the privilege and only one religion it's only one God only one chosen nation and that's what the chauffeur represents Shabbos represents the same thing yeah this is called the of course Shabbos will be a day of showing of shem's uh existence in the future that they won't be adults anymore who's right who's wrong nobody atheists anymore has simply reveal himself you have to say call the Shabbos and that's what the third set of of Tears of the chauffeur represents the future of the Hashem revealing himself to the world and we're supposed to pray for that verses give your fear over the world show everybody that you're the one that created you're the one who's watching you're the one who's giving us the reward for the future without any doubts so all those things that shelter does for us starting from the fact that gives us the fear of keeping the mistress fact that he's our King so Father in Heaven the fact that we're supposed to give ourselves for everything that we have even our life sometimes foreshabbatein and even since ended and it it's reminding us about the future of the world ashamed to feel himself Shabbos does all that for us the same way except created the world and he wants to he has to keep Shabbos and not to both children should be fearful of sin not to desecrate to satisfies for children God forbid tells us he's the king he created the world he's our King and we have to keep Shabbos even though it's very difficult it might be difficult for us to make a living because of it but separated us just like oh yes is talking about reminders of the future Hashem reveal himself Shabbos tells us yes itself for example they build himself don't be any questions or any doubts in the world who the king is who the Creator is Darwin this revolution go down the drain totally and uh all the religions will also realize that what the true God is God who and what the true religion is nationally so that were chosen people so coming up now for the Shabbos this that she said the first day let's try to keep these things in mind even though it's not some second time we hit the chauffeur for sure we want to keep it in mind all these things sort of reminds us the service itself we can also from Shabbos itself to have all these great thoughts that we're talking about
