Parshas Korach + Rosh Chodesh Tammuz | Rabbi Yoni Fischer on Renewal and What Teshuvah is.

good morning good afternoon good evening to everyone it's a very special time right now as it's Ares it's ER of chabas rodes which falls out on chabas this chabas and I just want to share a little bit about the power of tsha shabas is tsha the letters shabas are shove to DOA and Roses is is also a time of now a lot of times we associate toua with oh goodness I don't uh you know I'm not interested in chuva it's hard it's overwhelming I have so much guilt I have so much regret uh it's too difficult the rambam says in per he says when a person does Cho he changes his name an I am somebody else the r teaches us that what is chuv chuva is that I'm somebody else I'm not that person who I was before and I read from AER the r reveals to us a person does I'm not I'm not that same person I'm a new person I'm a different person the rambam Raba says the same thing Raba who's also a rean the r and RAB areon and the Raba says this as well in Chua he says when a person does chuva he recreates himself like a new human being that is tshua we think that tshua is this deep complicated complex difficult thing it's the most refreshing it's the most exciting thing for a person to do what does that mean I'm starting new I'm going to start fresh as I think rman said even if a person has to start over hundreds of times in one day keep on doing that but here it's really an opportunity for all of us shabas is newes is new and it's also brought down that the month of tamas is connected every month we have 12 months out of the year and every month is connected a different shav in and it's brought down that the KES is conned Ru it's Ru and Ru tell us this month is a month that a person has the ability to do chuva chuva means to renew on has the ability to refresh oneself as they say from theak that Tas is the rashis it's the acronym of it's time it's time to renew ourselves thas of and then ell and I know sometimes it's scary to think about it like oh I don't want to think about it I just want to have a good summer maybe it's the exact opposite maybe that is what chuva is chuva is renewal chuva is excitement chuva is dedicating oneself to say I'm going to change whatever it was yesterday whatever I was a week ago as we've said many many times a minute ago is further further away from us than a million years from now which means a minute ago you you'll never get back a million years from now we'll get there Hashem should help us all we should all be to do Chu which means we should be this shabas to renew ourselves thises to renew ourselves to somehow to ask Hashem I want to be fresh like the rambam says I want to be new I want to be a different person I want to change my habits I want to be able to feel differently about myself we should all be to that a good everybody it should be a great month of surus toos of only good news for the Jewish people for am for CLA is have a wonderful shabas have a wonderful R KES [Music]
