A small step to freedom - Rosh Chodesh blooming & blessings - Rabbi Alon Anava

Shalom everyone. Look at this beautiful, beautiful blooming in the beginning of spring, the beginning of the month of Nissan. Gorgeous, gorgeous blooming of beautiful, beautiful flowers. I wanted to take the opportunity to wish you again. I hope you took the opportunity yesterday to prayer, to do chuva, to repent, to prepare yourself to pes, to take on yourself a lot of good decisions, to change the path you were walking on, to look back at the previous year and saying, "Next year is going to be 10 times better. What do I need to do to make this coming year much, much better? And how do I change my path?" And only by you looking forward, looking at Hashem and deciding to walk on the path with Hashem and uplifting yourself spiritually and it will affect your entire year. In the next two weeks, we have unbelievable opportunity to prepare ourselves to the night of Pesak, the night of liberty where we can go out of all the headaches, all the challenges that we have, all the problems that we have, all the mit the limitations in our life. That's the night that I can break free from all my limitations. Can you imagine that in two weeks we have a ticket to go out of all of our challenges and to rise higher and higher and just to march straight into the Torah in Shabot. So the next two weeks are very crucial. The next two weeks are very very powerful spiritually and we need to take advantage of every day. I want to remind you that every day in the first half part of the month of Nissan, we read every day the portion of the nasi. If you need to find it, you can find it in most of the prayer books in the sidim. If not, we prepared a page on my website atmood.org/thenasi where you will find the prayer that you need to recite every day and has of course a lot of explanations. Also in the months of Nissan, we have the the customs, we have the mitzvah of doing the blessing of the trees, which again I will advertise on that in the future. But in the meantime, you can find a lot of information on on my website onmood.org/nissan where you will find the major things you need to focus on in the month of Nissan, especially the first half of it. And the point is to prepare yourself in the next two weeks. Not only by cleaning the dirt in your house. That's great because you can have kamets. But the real cleaning that you need to do in the next two weeks is to clean yourself is to clean your thoughts, to clean your heart, to clean your intentions, to clean your actions. And it doesn't come overnight. But this is the time where you make decisions that you're saying this is the dirt that I want to get rid of. like I'm getting rid of KTS in the next two weeks. There's all sorts of bad things in my life that I want to get rid of. I want to get rid of that I get angry quick or I want to get rid of that I'm judgmental and I want to get rid of all sorts of bad habits bad midot and bad mitzvot like bad like sins. And on the night of pes if you follow the sed of pesak that's the night of liberation the night of freedom where you go out of all of your problems but the next two weeks are the preparation for that night. So, I highly recommend visit the website atmood.org/nissan. Scroll through the page, read through all the instructions. It's very detailed. Everything that you need to do during the next two weeks preparing for pes with a lot of videos, a lot of instructions. Educate yourself that you will be prepared for this powerful powerful night of leather. And I highly recommend with starting with reading the nasi. I explained about that. All the information is on the website and I will keep on posting videos in the next few days that you'll be informed of what needs to be done. In the meantime, I want to take the opportunity on the day after Roshesh. But it still smells like Roshkesh and this beautiful blooming. I'm driving around and all I see is these beautiful blue skies and beautiful and you hear all the noise. I'm on the highway, but beautiful, beautiful trees. So I want to take the opportunity on such a powerful positive day to wish you all success in everything that you want to do in serving Hashem. And I want to wish you all strong health, great parasa, strong mind, true love to Hashem and to other people, love for the Torah, and may Hashem elevate you higher and higher and higher. And everything that you want to do and need to do should be successful. And I I pray for you and I wish for you for Hashem to put you on on a true path of truth of emit and godliness in your life. And you should try and find true happiness in your heart and everything around you should just be full of joy and happiness and strong health.
