I'm a big believer in Hashgacha Pratit.
Nothing moves in this world without the
supervision of Hashem.
The reality is
that the supervision is so precise
that
everything that happens in the world is
Hashem. Ein Od Milvado. That's the
bottom line. There's nothing past Ein Od
Milvado. When a person knows how to live
his life in the level of Ein Od Milvado,
you live your life like a Jewish super
superstar
because you have no blockages coming
from anywhere. It's Thank you. Not
spiritual, not physical.
Today actually what I want to talk about
is kind of related to the topic, but I'm
kind of going to give you a little intro
before we go into the to the topic.
Being a very strong believer in
Hashgacha Pratit cuz I know everything
is the Kadosh Baruchu. There's There's
nothing that happens in this world that
is not under the supervision directly of
Hashem. Now we all nodding and saying,
"Yeah, yeah, you're you're right. We
agree with you." But most people agree
with me when it's good things.
When it's bad things, then people stop
agreeing that it's Hashem.
Let's go to the extreme. Holocaust.
Of course it's Hashem. Can you say it's
not Hashem?
I know it's the Nazi
Mom. That was the tool.
But nothing moves in this world without
the supervision of Hashem. So even
atrocities and Holocausts and October
7th and
I'm talking in that level, that's also
Hashem. So needless to say that my
day-to-day life activities, so much more
so, it's all driven and controlled by
the master of the universe. Technically
I'm just going in a conveyor belt.
Everything is already predestined.
The result, the destination, but there's
a few factors that that's not counted.
That's up to you.
That's part of what we're going to learn
today. But why am I
saying that?
Because when a person lives in the level
that Ein Od Milvado, then nothing goes
wrong in life.
Everything is good. There isn't the
reality of not good because everything
is Hashem. So even when I miss the bus,
I miss the train, I didn't This didn't
work out,
it's good. I'm It means that I had to
miss it.
You didn't get lost down there. You had
to be there.
You have a schedule, Hashem has his
schedule.
If you go on your schedule, life doesn't
work out well. You go on Hashem's
schedule,
suddenly everything works out.
It's not your schedule, so it seems it's
not working out, but really it's working
out exactly how the Kadosh Baruchu wants
to.
And the reason why I told you that
because it is Hashgacha Pratit.
You know, some One of you contacted us
what? Yesterday asking if we can do a
class. It happened to be Usually I teach
on Wednesdays.
Tonight is Erev Rosh Chodesh.
I had to teach today because what we're
going to learn today is for Rosh Chodesh
and especially for Erev Rosh Chodesh. So
it has to be done today. What I'm going
to teach after Rosh Chodesh what I The
message is needs to be heard.
So look how the Kadosh Baruchu works in
what a way. You had plans. I don't even
know what who what. I'm getting a
message, can he move the class an hour
later an hour earlier? Okay, let's see
how it works.
And this is this is the joke. We moved
everything back.
And then we had to move back up again. I
had a perfect window of time to take
care of whatever I needed to do take
care of and that's how you see the
perfect Hashgacha Pratit. You see that I
had to wait for a call for my daughter.
I never come to a class with a with a
phone. But I had to take something
urgent and I said, "Okay, if I was in
the class, she would be stranded now.
She would be stuck."
So it's unbelievable to see the hand of
Hashem how everything moves in such a
perfect way
that caters all in things that I need to
do.
And what's the things that I need to do?
I need to to do a tikkun.
My entire life is set
to do a tikkun, to rectify my entire
script of my life.
Why? Because we know that we have no say
in what's going on in my life.
We know very well based on all the
teachings of the Torah, all aspects of
the Torah teaches us that you have the
You might think you have free will. But
Hakol Bedidei Shamayim. Hashem knows
everything in advance. Before you're
born, everything is already set up.
The Midrash says that when the husband
and wife are conceiving the child,
there's not There's nothing going on
there. Straight away comes an angel,
takes a one drop, goes to the master of
the universe and says, "This drop What's
going to be the result of this drop? Is
it going to be a man or a woman? Is it
going to be tall or short? Blonde,
brunette, blue eyes, black eyes? Rich,
poor, smart
What?"
Everything is written.
The entire script of your life is
already written.
Chutz M'Yirat Shamayim.
That's what the Talmud says. Everything
is already predestined to you, decided
for you, everything.
The only thing that is not decided for
you is Chutz M'Yirat Shamayim. Now
what's Yirat Shamayim?
I'm sure you heard the term many times
and many people will translate it as
fearing God.
Which Yeah, it's one way of looking at
it. Yirah is fear. I have to fear God.
If I don't fear him, then I won't listen
to anything.
But really Yirat Shamayim when you're
taking it one step a little bit deeper,
Yirah is written in Hebrew Yud Resh
Aleph Hey.
You can read it the exact same way with
different punctuation as Yireh.
Right? Same line. I didn't even move the
letters. I just moved the punctuations
from Yirah to Yireh. And what's Yireh?
That I should see. So Yirat Shamayim is
that I should see Shamayim in
everything.
Now Shamayim is a
another word
of Hashem. When we see in the text
Shamayim, heavens, we're referring to
God.
So Yirat Shamayim, fear of God. That's
the translation. So Yireh Shamayim, that
I see everything that is God.
The good, the bad, the not good, the
whatever looks
inconvenient, everything
is Hashem.
That's my Yirat Shamayim.
I'm going to be on the same journey from
the same origin to the same destination.
How I'm going to go through the journey,
that's you.
You're going to go in the same place
Everything is decided for you.
But the Hashgacha Pratit brings you to
the places exactly where you need to fix
something.
I'm going to explain it a little bit
more in details in the class,
but our life, if you want to look at it,
imagine like in the olden days the 16 mm
film. Remember that? I mean now you'll
tell it to a young person a 16 mm film,
they'll be like, "Is that a movie or is
that an app?"
But nevertheless, if you remember it's a
long film and there's pictures, frames.
And you go through the film and one
frame after the the creates the the
movie.
So our life is like a film. Every moment
of our life
is a snapshot.
Every moment.
Whether it's a second or 3 seconds, it's
not my It doesn't matter right now, but
every moment of my life, imagine is a
snapshot and one day you're going to go
and see the entire movie.
The opportunity that we have in this
world is I can go into the editing
system, to the source and change not the
script, but change parts on the script.
If I will get upset or not,
I will have to go through this
challenge.
It's already set.
Now my choice, my free choice here is
not my decision. My free choice is if
I'm going to accept the challenge or
not.
Am I going to accept it that it's coming
from Hashem or not?
Am I going to complain
or not?
Or thank Hashem?
Am I going to look for a a solution or
I'm going to break down in pieces?
So I'm going to have to go through the
challenge anyways. And that's decided on
Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is not only
decided how much money you're going to
make. I know everybody likes to know how
much money I'm going to make on Rosh
Hashanah. Everybody who was suddenly
wakes up, they want the blessing on Rosh
Hashanah, which is true.
One of the perfect days of the year to
pull down energy, to pull down shefa to
the world.
So why wouldn't you want to use such a
day? But other than that, Rosh Hashanah
is used for many different things.
To kind of go back to our topic, every
person has to do a tikkun for every
snapshot
on this film.
The reason why I mentioned Rosh Hashanah
because on Rosh Hashanah
is everything is decided. Who's going to
live, who's going to die, how much money
you're going to make. But the most
important thing on Rosh Hashanah is
decided is how much challenges you're
going to have and what are going to be
the challenges.
That's decided on Rosh Hashanah.
If you're going to have a lot of
challenges or you're going to have a
little bit of challenges.
What type of challenges you're going to
have?
Now that introduction is for us to
understand because
last week we spoke about a few different
things.
I'm going to repeat a little bit.
That we spoke about
spiritual pipes. I'll say it in Hebrew
and English a little bit. The terms are
not so clear.
Tzinorot Ruchaniyim.
Tzinor is a pipe, a channel, but I will
stick to to the term pipe.
And we know that the spiritual pipes
connecting from me to the master of the
universe. That's what we spoke about
last week. That's the class you told me
you started watching.
We also spoke about that as a result
when these pipes are blocked, when
there's like a clog in one of these
pipes, what would be the result down in
this world?
There'll be some type of lack, some type
of a deficiency.
Can be a lack of parnassah, your
livelihood, can be lack of uh simcha, of
joy, can be a lack of anything, but
you'll have some lack in your life.
And
and it can come in many different
aspects. It can come physically, like I
told you, lack of money, a lack of a a
no communication in a relationship,
but it can come also in a spiritual way,
that I have no energy to serve Hashem.
And I don't have any desire to do
certain mitzvot, or when it comes for me
to fighting all my inclinations, no
fight.
Or worse than that, I'm required to
refine myself. That's really the the
reason of my existence in this world is
to refine myself. I didn't come here to
do anything else but to refine myself.
We are learning here every Wednesday an
amazing amazing book. It's called
Shaarei Kedushah by Rabbi Chaim Vital,
the student of the Ari Hakadosh, where
you just uh came from.
And in this book, in the introduction,
Rabbi Chaim Vital says that mitzvot
Torah and mitzvot are essential. You
have to do it. But the main thing one
needs to focus on in this world is to
refine themselves, tikkun hamiddot.
And I come to the world with a lot of
good attributes, but a lot of bad
attributes, and now start refining it.
And every situation in my life is to
bring me to the place of refinement. So
if I have to work on my patience, then
my my Hashem will give me a wife that
will cause me constantly to work on my
patience.
Now, if I'm completely ignorant, then I
constantly fight with her.
Yatzah sacharo b'hefsedo, nothing
happened.
But if I realize that she's my mirror
for me to she's my exercise machine.
She's the resistance. So when she does
something that will cause me to lose my
temper or to lose my patience or to
go out of my kelim, so to say, out of my
my menuchat hanefesh,
the red light needs to go on right now
and say, "Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh." Before
you start the fight.
She's your helper. She's the ezer.
She's the one who's the helpmate.
Instead of you losing your temper right
now, understand nisayon from Shamayim,
this is exactly what everything
hashgachah pratit.
It's not that she moved the car keys and
why didn't you put it back here? But I
told you to put it here. And sometimes
the arguments are what are you arguing
on?
If the person stops right at that moment
and says, "Wait a minute, this is all
from the Kedosh Baruch Hu. What do I
need to do here? This is a frame on my
on my life. How am I fixing this?
Am I getting upset at her and starting
World War III, or am I retracting,
humbling myself, zipping my mouth,
recalculating what's going on here?
That's the right way to do it, that I
reverse engineer what's going on, and I
stop right on the spot, and I don't let
it escalate.
And I understand that she's now my
exercise machine.
Cuz if I go now to the gym and I start
working out, but I don't use any
resistance, I'll sit on the bench and
just go like this, 5,000 times. Nothing
will happen.
The muscle will only grow when there's
resistance.
So how can I grow spiritually if there's
no resistance? I need something pushing
me back.
So all the people in my life are that
resistance. My wife, my kids, my boss,
my employee, my neighbor that's driving
me nuts all day long. Everybody are all
participants in the movie, and they're
all mirrors for me to refine myself.
Now, when I don't work on myself not in
that respect, and I don't follow the
Torah and mitzvot, and worse than that,
I sin, then I start clogging all these
spiritual pipes.
I'm just giving you a very quick recap
of last week's class. Now, what happens
when these spiritual pipes are
clogged? Like any pipe.
Like plumbing, it's clogged, water
doesn't go.
So if I am clogging my spiritual pipes,
what would be the result? Something will
be lacking here in this world.
Suddenly I don't have money.
Suddenly your relationships don't work
out, or whatever it is. You take it to
whatever you find the lack in your life.
There's a lack in your life,
right away reverse engineer. It's not a
punishment.
We also spoke last week what causes that
to clog these pipes. To say, "Okay,
you're clogging your spiritual pipes.
Okay, that's a very broad term. What is
clogging that?"
Last week last week we talked about it,
and to conclude that, it's our behavior.
There's no other explanation to that.
What will damage my kelim, what will
clog these
tzinorot, these pipes, is my behavior.
How I behave.
That's it.
Today, what I want to talk about is
practically what you're doing, how you
open these tzinorot shefa.
And you have to understand that there
are 620 of these pipes, corresponding to
620 mitzvot of the Torah, 613 from the
Torah, seven of the of the sages. The
Zohar calls it 620 pillars of light,
tarach amudei or.
And that's our fiber optic cable that
connects us to the world above. And
every fiber, which of course corresponds
to one of the mitzvot in the Torah, is
responsible to bring me down shefa that
is directed to something specific. One
pipe is parnassah, my livelihood. The
other one is my health. The other one is
my sanity. The other one Every little
pipe gives me something.
Clogging it, it's my behavior. If I lie,
if I cheat, if I lose my temper, I'm not
talking about now desecrating Shabbat
and big When you do big things, then you
sometimes you do one one sin, you clog
the whole thing.
And then you can do a person can do even
worse things. You can reach to a level
what's called karet. That's it.
Nine levels of the neshamah are getting
cut off.
That's a even a higher level of
disconnected from from Hashem.
But let's We're not going to focus on
that. I want to focus on the little
things.
So start coming telling people karet.
Listen, we all have this issue, okay?
Let's not get into that. Let's focus on
the little things. Because it's the
little thing that's what's causing all
the problems.
So if I need to reverse engineer what's
going on here, I find some type of a
challenge in my life. If I define it as
a challenge, and it has nothing to do
with a lack, okay, it's a challenge, and
I just need to go over the speed bump,
and realize what I'm doing this. This is
another scene in my life that I need to
fix.
That's why I never you you don't get
upset at anything.
What's the point of getting upset at any
Everything is the hand of Hashem. I get
upset.
And everything that Hashem does is good,
so why would I get upset? Even if it
looks bad. That's our problem.
So we spoke about why would I have lack
in my life? What causes that? Now we
need to know how do I open these
spiritual pipes to receive this shefa.
And everybody has to do that, because
everyone in their life has deficiency in
something. So one person might have very
well they have good parnassah, good
livelihood, good relationship, good
shalom bayit. In that department,
everything is good. But in other
departments, ooh,
disaster.
And each one can use their imagination
what's their
uh
struggles and challenges. Sometimes it's
not money. Sometimes I'm saying money,
cuz that's a big That's universal.
Everybody has issues with money at one
some point.
And especially nowadays, even the people
who make money making much less money.
It's not a good time now.
And health, everybody shares that
department.
And relationships, everybody shares that
department. When I'm calling I'm saying
challenges. Oh, this is It could be
challenges. But when things don't work
in my life, many times things don't work
in my life, it could be between me
trying to educate my kid. All the kids
are going in one path. One kid is very
hard to educate, very hard to control.
Can't do anything. That's That's That's
a very big challenge. Now, do I need to
get upset at that? What do I need to do?
Now, is it Oh, should I give up and say,
"Okay, let the doctors call it some
whatever abbreviation they want to give
it then give him some pills and shut him
up?"
Or I can say, "No, this is not the
situation. I am doing something wrong in
my life that the child is not getting
his shefa, his energy, and his behavior
is, of course,
Maybe I'm doing something. I'm the
parent. Maybe I'm feeding him not kosher
food. Maybe I'm feeding him whatever
spiritually."
So I always need to take responsibility
of what's going on in my life.
So
before we start, I want to
very quickly just give a quick
announcement, cuz I know some of you
have to go soon. And I also know that
the people when they watch the video,
when they see a long video, they're
like, "Okay, I'll watch it later." But
the announcement is very important. And
why? Cuz tonight is Rosh Chodesh Sivan.
And Rosh Chodesh Sivan Rosh Chodesh is
one of the most powerful times to fix
these broken vessels and to clean the
pipes. I'm going to talk about it
throughout the class.
But Rosh Chodesh is the time, if you're
reading the nosach, the text of the
prayers, man kaporateinu, it's the a
time when I can reach atonement. I will
explain in this class how on Rosh
Chodesh specifically you can reverse the
damages on these pipes. That I'll I'll
address much more in length throughout
the class.
So Rosh Chodesh, we know, is a very very
auspicious time to to reverse things.
It's not just uh you know, okay, a fancy
day.
Chodesh
comes from the word chiddush.
When you rejuvenate something.
And
the reason why it's called Rosh Chodesh,
it should have been called techhilat
hachodesh, the beginning of the month.
But it's called Rosh Chodesh, cuz all
that is in good What's going to happen
in the next month is included in this
day.
Kind of like a mini Rosh Hashanah. So
everything that is destined and future
to happen in the month of Sivan
is kind of decided
on Rosh Chodesh, and whatever action you
do on Rosh Chodesh, that's how you set
your month.
So, if you receive the godly light on
Rosh Chodesh the right way, the entire
month is how you set the first day. Rosh
Chodesh should be celebrated like a
festival. And there are many adults
that's what they do.
Many, many people they fast on erev Rosh
Chodesh and Rosh Chodesh is a
Even I have a business meeting tomorrow
with somebody and I told him, you know,
it's Rosh Chodesh. Are you free to that
day?
Some people say, "No, no, I don't work
on Rosh Chodesh. If I don't need to, I
don't need to work on Rosh Chodesh."
That's how powerful Rosh Chodesh is. Why
did I want to tell you that? Rosh
Chodesh Sivan includes everything
throughout the month, which means it
includes Shavuot in it.
And the energy of Shavuot, I'll address
that too in the class, that's not
something one wants to miss.
There are three batteries throughout the
year where you charge yourself.
The three festivals, Sukkot, Pesach, and
and Shavuot. If you miss that battery,
you're lacking your charge. You're
running on low battery.
That's a big problem. All you need to
know is to do is to connect the right
way on Shavuot and you're good till Rosh
Hashanah, till Sukkot.
So,
Rosh Chodesh uh Sivan is a very, very
powerful day. The what I wanted to say
so we can start, tonight we recite a
very special prayer by the Shal
Hakadosh, Rabbi Yeshaya Horowitz Halevi.
A special prayer that we thank Hashem
and we ask Hashem to lead our children
in the right path and the path of Torah
and to be healthy and all the good
things. Highly recommend to read it. If
you miss it, then you can say it
tomorrow and the Shal says you can say
it every day. But on erev Rosh Chodesh
Sivan is a very significant time. I have
a video on it online if you want to
learn why specifically kids and Rosh
Chodesh Sivan. We all have kids. We all
want them to go in the right path and
grow in the path of righteousness and
and truth and Torah and bring good
husbands and wives.
Read this prayer.
You'll thank me later. If you don't know
how to reach this prayer, either you
Google
the prayer for the kids of the Shal
Hakadosh Rosh Chodesh Sivan or just go
on my website. I have a PDF you can
download it.
And tomorrow, and again, I'm not getting
into details. I just wanted to announce
it. Tomorrow is Rosh Chodesh Sivan. Rosh
Chodesh Sivan is known and again, not
going to go into the Kabbalah of it by
by the order of the letters of Yud Kay
Vav Kay. Every month the orders of the
letters change. That's the sets the
energy of the month. And Sivan has the
power of receiving the Torah, which is
my chayut, my life, my life force.
It might seem to me, okay, just another
holiday and I'm eating cheesecake, but
that's really way we receive the Torah.
And every one of the festivals we
receive some type of aspect in our life
that is carrying us for the next year.
On Pesach we receive cherut, freedom.
You receive the power that at any given
moment if you need to go out of your
slavery, out of your Mitzrayim, you can
go out.
If you don't charge that on Pesach, the
whole year every struggle for you, every
Mitzrayim you have, it's it's a
swamp to get out of.
Sukkot you get simcha for the rest of
the year. If you celebrate Sukkot the
right way,
even if you have a life full of
challenges, you'll truly be true happy
inside your heart. That's when you get
it from Sukkot.
A lot of people have challenges, exactly
like everybody, but it's still with a
smile on the face.
That's where you draw that on Sukkot.
And Shavuot you get the Torah.
That's That's our existence. That's our
essence. It's everything.
But the Torah really is the spiritual
tool that brings down the shefa from the
world above to the world below.
So, Rosh Chodesh Sivan is a very, very
auspicious and powerful day. Take the
time to do teshuvah, to ask Hashem
whatever your needs are, to give
charity. There's certain prayers that
you want to recite. Same thing, I have
it on my website, the prayers that you
can you can download. But take advantage
of this day because it's a very, very
powerful day.
Our sages explain that the preparation
for whatever act you do
is more important than the actual act.
It's how you prepare for the certain act
that you're about to do.
Shavuot is such an auspicious time
that I have the opportunity to to
bring down from a supreme source, makor
elyon,
all the shefa, all my abundance
to myself. And where does it come from?
What's called shoresh haneshama, from
the root of my soul.
The neshama that's in my body is is a
little piece.
The root is where everything is held
there. Now, in between the root and down
here, there's a long way.
And when I clog my tzinorot, then I
don't get the shefa.
But on
Shavuot, I have the ability to connect
to the highest source of all, what's
called keter, and to draw down with it
from there all the shefa that I need.
Shefa, the translation is abundance,
but you can also relate with it. Shefa
is is the energy for everything. My
livelihood, my simcha, my health,
my menuchat hanefesh. I can have
everything good in me and and and my
mind, no menuchat hanefesh, no uh quiet
in my mind
all the time. Worrying, anxiety.
So,
in everything in life we need to have a
bracha. I'm sure you heard the term.
Bracha is
you can translate it as a blessing, but
there's much more to the word bracha.
But in everything that I do in my life
has to be a blessing cuz I can have a
lot of shefa.
It maybe will be written in my books
that I'm going to have a lot lot of
money, so I have shefa.
But if there's no bracha in the money,
the money will go on doctors, the money
will go on lawsuits, the money will just
disappear. Where am I? Where are the
credit cards? 30,000 shekels. What are
you spending it on? Then there's no
bracha in the money.
So, shefa is one thing, bracha is
another thing. I need to have both of
them.
Because I can have a lot of shefa. I can
have a lot of kids.
But each one, no bracha. Each one, she
may racham.
And another person next to me doesn't
even want kids. So, he doesn't have the
shefa to have the kids. I have the
shefa, but I'm misusing it.
Person can have an amazing, amazing
marriage, the most amazing wife, and he
goes and cheats on her.
You have the shefa. Yeah, but there was
no bracha.
You didn't get the bracha for that.
So,
the bracha only can go down through a
clean pipe.
If I'm now transferring any type of
liquid from one side to another through
a pipe, the clearer the pipe, the liquid
will pass faster.
But in the case of bracha, when it comes
to blessing, blessing has to go through
a clean pipe.
It can't go through a dirty pipe.
And again, it might be a missing piece
of the puzzle, so I'm just going to
uh define it in a clear way. The The
pipe that I'm talking about, what will
clog it? Your behavior. That's it.
That's what you need to know right now.
Your behavior is positive, the pipes are
clean. Your behavior is negative, the
pipes are getting rusted and dirty and
clogged and and you have to clean it
like anything in nature.
The blessing will only go through a
tzinor naki, through a clean pipe. Can't
go through a damaged pipe.
Now, in Hebrew pipe is tzinor.
Tzinor has the same letters of ratzon.
Ratzon is my will.
Now, when my will is aligned with
Hashem,
like the Mishna says, "Aseh retzoncha
kirzono." Do your will His will. Why?
"Kedei sheya'aseh retzono retzoncha."
So, He will make His will yours.
My ratzon is what I want. My will, my
desire. Now, the ratzon can be something
negative. I want to eat, I want to
sleep, I want to enjoy this and that.
And my ratzon can be I want to serve
Hashem. I want to be honest in this
business deal. I want to be courteous
with this individual. Whatever my ratzon
is.
Now, if my ratzon is organized well,
aligned well with Hashem,
then the tzinor works.
Like in anything that you you would
relate with it in in in life.
Now, these tzinorot, these pipes that
I'm talking about, were uh
decided and given to us before we were
born. It's not something that is
uh
new.
In the script of my life, these
tzinorot, these pipes, were already
decided what, who, when, and why. It's
all decided for you way before you come
to this world.
The only thing that is not decided is if
these pipes will be open or closed.
So, you're getting pipes and you decide
if you open or close it. You control the
valves.
If the rule is like this, if my ratzon
is called ratzon mestudar, that my
ratzon, my desire, is aligned with
Hashem,
I want to do what Hashem wants me to do
right now.
And it's not I know a lot of people
saying, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, he's telling me
now that my ratzon, okay, that's the
mitzvot." That's not what I'm talking.
I'm Of course, that's also what I'm
talking about. Of course, the will of
Hashem is for me to do mitzvot.
But it's also how I behave in certain
situations.
Every encounter that I have, right away
my red lights go on and the first
question that comes up to my mind is how
does Hashem want me to deal with this
situation right now?
I don't
Took me 20 years to be able to stop
myself from being impulsive.
That's another perfect example of a
tikkun of one of your midot. When I was
young, I was born with a middah, the
attribute of being so impulsive, no
brakes on my mouth, no brakes on
anything. The The reaction would be
impulsive.
That's years and years and years of
refinement to get to a point that
there's no reaction that is impulsive.
There's no reaction.
Right now, I might look a little bit
3 seconds there's no reaction.
Anything any situation, right? Cuz it
takes me a few seconds to think what's
going on here right now.
But that's many years of controlling
your this trigger of impulsively
reacting. And 99.9%
of the time when you impulsively react,
it's the wrong reaction.
You just dig yourself a bigger hole.
How am I going to get out out of that?
So, the right way is to stop.
Self-mastery
killer.
As we learned from
our dear Rabbi you just visited him,
right? You were next to the by
by
self-mastery killer. That's part of the
verses of the D. First think before you
do. I mean, this verse is way deeper
about self-mastery killer talking about
the thought of the action of creating
the world, but for my uh about the sham,
it's the
basic way of saying think before you
action. That's it. Before you talk.
So, my will is not only that to oh, I
need to align it with a sham's will. So,
I need to pray three times a day and eat
kosher and observe Shabbat. Yeah, yeah,
that's that's no question here. I'm not
even adding this to the examples because
there's no question here that that's a
sham's will and you have to go on a
sham's will. But I'm talking about a
situation that I'm facing
and I'm asking myself how does a sham
want me to relate with the situation?
With kindness, with patience, with a
firm hand. I have to
I have to decide how I'm relating. It's
all about a sham. It's not me. The child
did something bad. It's not for me to
get upset.
We get upset over little things. The
child spills a little bit of water on
the floor.
What did he do the poor child?
Didn't do anything.
That's your
to
to hold yourself.
And if you failed and screamed at the
child, you're going to the next level of
your test to go and apologize. I'm
sorry. I had a bad day. I
I apologize. How many parents go to
their children and say listen, I had a
bad day. I'm sorry. You shouldn't you
you were just there. I'm sorry.
I apologize.
But what I'm saying is that my
is
not always necessarily means won't is
how does a sham want me to react in
every situation that happens in my life.
And in many of the times you have to
react with a strong hand and completely
doesn't make sense to you.
And where does it come about when you
educate your kids?
You have to know when to have a strong
hand and when to put the foot down and
when to yell, when to raise the voice
and when no is no.
So, me that a D. You need a lot of
restriction do. Nothing bad with that.
Just you need to know how much of each.
That's why it's called in Hebrew me that
cuz me that is also a measurement. How
much lesson? This much lesson? This much
lesson?
A person comes to my door, knocks on the
door. I need
I'm very charitable. I want to do
lesson.
What's considered 200 or 20,000?
It's both
this is a lot of lesson.
Which I don't think that's the right
thing giving 20,000 person you don't
even know. You need to pay your bills
first. Now, if you are a billionaire,
20,000 is nothing. Talking about normal
people.
So, can be measured in many different
ways. That's why it's called in Hebrew
me that cuz you measure it. How much how
much how much kindness?
So, when my will is aligned with a sham,
that's you know the pipe
more shafa. That's how it says more
emptying shafa. You you don't have
enough killing to hold the shafa.
That's when everything works very well
in your life.
And it doesn't mean that life is not
bumpy. It just things work out.
My life is a roller coaster you can't
even imagine
what a roller coaster of a of my life
is, but always with a true smile because
I enjoy every bit of the action, but my
life is chaotic.
Not in a negative way for sure.
But just imagine the structure of my
day. First of all, I'm an observant man.
That's already 5 hours a day devoted to
a sham from 24 hours. It doesn't leave
me a lot.
Then I have seven kids. Seven kids all
under the age of 20. That in itself
that's a full-time job.
Then I have a wife. That's
even a
bigger load to carry. And then I have a
worldwide organization and a rabbi for
hundreds of thousands of people and
business and business and my day
yesterday somebody interviewed me. He's
like, what you up so late? He was in Los
Angeles. I told him my night just
starts, my friend. It's only 10:00 at
night.
I don't go to sleep before 2:00 in the
morning.
But what am I saying? The will of a sham
when you go in with the will of a sham,
the shafa comes in an abundance. Why did
I give you my personal life experience?
Because
I can say in a humble way, I have a lot
of shafa in my life.
But it doesn't mean that my life is not
up and down and bumpy. I see where is
shafa. Shafa is not don't don't always
imagine shafa is money.
Shafa can be an amazing relationship
with your kids. Amazing.
Shafa can be an amazing relationship
with your wife.
Shafa can be that you don't work hard
for your money. You'll still make the
same money, but you can make it in 10
hours a day or 2 hours a day.
Shafa can come in many different ways.
And I'm telling you my day is busy 22
hours a day full of shafa.
Because I have time for almost not
almost for everything and I have time
for myself even to learn to work out, to
pray, to work out.
It's all how you organize your day. But
why why am I using this example?
Because you can have a lot of shafa in
your life, but your life can still be I
call it chaotic because all day long my
life is I just imagine all day long
seven kids going all over
I'm walking with three phones, two
assistants. I mean, my life is like sit
next to me for 3 hours. It's crazy.
My wife sometimes she's like, I don't
know how you do it.
So, I'm not saying chaotic
in a negative way, but it's all day
long.
And I'm a I'm I'm a
what would you say? I'm an address to
many people seeking solutions. So, you
can imagine how many phone calls I get a
day, how many knocks on the door at 3:00
in the morning.
How many appointments I have to cancel
because there's an emergency.
So,
why am I saying that? Cuz in one way you
can a person can take this life and say
God, yo, what are you doing? My life too
busy. I can't do anything. You can
complain all day long. What are you
complaining? You have shafa.
Everything is coming in an abundance.
The fact that life is up and down up and
down and like a roller coaster, that's
part of the fun.
That's the fun. That's what people don't
get. They complain from all their
challenges. Enjoy it.
My oldest girl, she's 20 now. She's
starting to meet life.
And I told her listen, what you're going
through right now, whatever she's going
through, I told her in 5 years, in 10
years, in 20 years you'll be back you'll
look back and be like, I learned so much
from that encounter. It made me much
more smarter, much more aware, much more
calculated. You're going through the
university of life right now. Instead of
whining, enjoy, smile. Sham is teaching
you lessons that are so valuable. You
can't get it anywhere.
Why you whine? Why you complain? Why you
sham it?
Now, going back to what I was saying.
Listen, you have lack in your life.
Things don't work out. Something's wrong
with the pipes.
Let's go back to what I was saying.
That's all
when my will is with a will of a sham.
Pipes are clean shafa be that.
To a point that sometimes you you're
choking from so much shafa.
When the low
and the will is not organized,
the pipes are clogged.
Nothing works.
Not your business, not relationships,
not your spiritual growth, not any goal
you put to yourself can't seem to make
anything work. Relationships with your
kids nothing works.
And could be that 50% of your life
works, 50% doesn't work. But you know
what doesn't work? What hurts you the
most.
My will is not aligned with a sham. The
first red light that has to come in your
mind when anything happens, what does a
sham want me to do right now?
Does he want me to shut up? Does he want
me to to to intervene? Does he want me
to get angry? Does he want What does he
want me? What is definitely doesn't want
me to get angry. He definitely doesn't
want me to slander, lie, cheat, right?
So, I'm already
removing from the list 90% of the
options.
I told you before
that everything is predestined. All of
me rush.
It actually makes life very easy to know
that everything is set.
When you go on a vacation, how easy it
is when full
how do you call it? Full board, full
whatever.
The the the transportation, the full
everything is arranged.
Who needs the headache now start cooking
Airbnb, taxis, Ubers. Who needs this
headache?
So, it's actually a very good thing
my life is set.
I don't need to work hard. I call
just walk on the path
and smile.
I can't change anything. Whatever is
set, you can't change it. Don't even try
to change it. Live with it.
But I'll tell you
what is not what is not set.
Cuz I just told you everything. Your
entire life is predestined, but I'll
tell you a few keys that you need to
remember what is not.
The first one
is how you're going to go through your
life.
Are you going to complain? Are you going
to smile? Are you going to bless a sham?
Are you going to thank a sham? Are you
going to whine? How how you going to go
through life?
With a good attitude or bad attitude?
My grandmother is a holocaust survivor
who went through a horrible horrible
life. Every station of her of her life
is a disaster.
When she was 86 years old, she was
diagnosed with cancer. They told her you
have 3 months to live. She's like, "No
way you're putting me in a toaster." She
lived till 92. It's 6 years with colon
cancer. You know why she lived for till
92?
Always grateful to Hashem.
And not an observant woman. Don't think
she's a rebbetzin. I come from a very
secular family.
But she would light candles on Shabbat.
She would be very particular with
certain things, but always thank Hashem
for everything. This is a woman who went
through the Holocaust. And her husband
died when she was a young
a woman.
So many disasters. Always thank Hashem.
The attitude of how you go through your
life changes everything. So your life is
set up, but not how you're going to go
through it. That's your choice. The
second thing that is not set up is
what's going to be the results.
You control the results.
I go through the path, the results are
in my hand.
And that's what I told you before.
What does Hashem want me to do here?
In most of the tests we fail. And then
Has v'shalom, you need to reincarnate
and incarnate and incarnate and
The next thing is how what you're going
through is going to affect you.
A person loses their loved one, their
parent, child, accidents, horrible
things happen in your life, you lose Has
v'shalom, people lose business.
People go through ups and downs. How
does it affect you?
That is not decided.
The downfall is decided before you were
born. How is it going to affect you? Are
you going to be depressed? Are you going
to accept a kol me shamayim? How?
And the last thing that is not decided
is if in anything that goes on in your
life that is predestined, is it going to
be a blessing or is it going to be a
curse?
You decide.
You decide if the situation in your life
is going to end up being a blessing in
your life or is it end up going to be a
curse in your life. That's it. Four
things that are not predestined. It's
all up to you.
Nobody will help you. Nobody's going to
come to aid you. It's you.
That's why our sages say a kol b'dei
shamayim chutz me'irat shamayim. And I
explained to you the idea of yirat
shamayim of you have to see Hashem in
everything. It's not fearing God.
It's in the biggest disaster, I see
Hashem.
Why did he do it? Who am I to ask? Am I
going to understand why he did it? Do I
know what a bigger disaster could have
happened?
Do I know what's the calculations here?
And I'm talking now on big things.
October 7th, everybody was what's going
on? Here with Hashem.
How do you know that Has v'shalom it
should have been 10 times worse and
Hashem made a miracle and was just
little?
How do you But we don't know. Don't
question Hashem.
But the yirat shamayim is that I see
everything that Hashem did. Even my
failure, the the the the
the disappointments. Everything is
Hashem cuz what did I tell you? How is
it going to affect you?
How is it going to affect you is a major
point in this
in this game.
So like I told you, all the shefa, all
the hashpa'ot, these effects that come
from shamayim, I It means for me that I
have to do a tikkun.
Everything that happens for to you,
whether it's something huge or something
minor, there's a tikkun there.
Even if in something very, very minor.
And therefore every step of your way,
quick question, what does Hashem want me
to do right now?
What is more important? Does Hashem want
me to behave like this or like that?
It's I think it's a it's a tikkun. Now
you have to understand that the more
you're fixing these frames on your
timeline, then you're reaching to your
tikkun, which is really what we're here
for. I didn't come here for anything
else. I came here to rectify my soul and
damages that I did and whatever.
If you want to learn more about it, grab
the book Shaar
Shaar Hagilgulim, Gate of Incarnations.
Answers all your questions.
We're learning it here also every
Wednesday. Go online to my website. This
We're in chapter eight.
Unbelievable information. How to do a
mamash real tikkun. But everything that
I go through is a tikkun. Tikkun means I
have to rectify.
And sometimes it can be an encounter.
You know what? I'm not going to tell you
the story cuz I don't want to take up
the time from the class, but go on my
YouTube. I don't remember the name
of the video. I think it's it's
something titled Extreme Rabbi and I
almost killed somebody in Uman.
Something like that. Go see this video.
And you will see a perfect example how
every encounter can be a tikkun from a
thousand years ago. You don't even know
who you're talking to. Everything
counts.
So
yes last week I talked about the concept
that's called mituka dinim, sweetening
the judgments. And I explained last
week, I don't know I don't want to
elaborate that when I do something
negative, it attracts din, a judgment.
I move out the light, the godly light.
There's a space. The din goes in. That's
it. And it acts against me in many
different ways. That's called din,
judgment.
I can't change judgments. You can't do
that.
But what you can do is sweeten the
judgments. Another thing what you can do
that is done on Yom Kippur that we roll
over the judgments. I'm sure you
remember the verse in Yom Kippur that we
scream, "Tefillah, utzaka, utshuva
ma'avirin et roa hagzeira." Charity, a
prayer, and repentance remove the evil
of the decree. It doesn't
cancel
the gzeira. It moves it.
So
last week I spoke about what's mituka
dinim and what's dinim. If you want to
learn more about it, it's in the class
that was loaded last week. But
like I said, din is when you do
something wrong and it comes to
wake you up. Technically, whatever the
din comes is not to punish you, it's to
wake you up. It's a warning light.
You're doing something wrong. Wake up.
The good news is that I can sweeten the
judgment and then the pipes start
opening. That's kind of where we left
off in the last class, which again,
every class is stand-alone class. You're
not missing anything.
Now we were talking in the last 10
minutes about a certain
concept that's called shefa. Shefa is an
abundance
blessing that comes from above.
If you're doing everything right, then
you get the shefa. But if you're doing
everything wrong, like I told you, the
wheel is
unaligned, then you switch the orders of
the letter shefa and you become and it's
written pesha. Pesha is a crime. Which
means when I do crimes in the eyes of
Hashem, I reverse the energy. Instead of
getting the shefa, I I get the pesha. I
get the crime.
And it can be something extreme of
desecrating Shabbat, but it can be basic
things that we do every day. Lying,
cheating, slandering,
being judgmental, being impatient. All
these things can affect us.
Now, if I pull the light the right way,
sorry, if I'll say that I said
differently. If I pull the light the
wrong way, then what's going to cause
the these pipes to be closed. How do you
pull light the wrong way? Is that you do
something positive, but you direct it to
something negative.
And I'll give you a very extreme
example, but that's what a lot of people
can relate. One of the biggest mitzvot
we can do is when a husband and wife
procreate.
So you can bring down a very big light
into the world by just by performing the
mitzvah. But you can bring the same type
of light when it's the same act is
performed not b'kedusha. When it's not
the the not husband and wife. You bring
the same light, but the wrong way.
And then it damages all the the the
these pipes.
And then what happens is instead of
pleasure, because when we do certain
things, how do you say pleasure in
Hebrew? Oneg. If I do something that the
oneg is coming the wrong way, the
pleasure is coming the wrong way, then
it turns around and becomes nega. Nega
is a lesion, like a tzara'at.
And that's the problem what we do is we
switch the energy the the directions of
the energy. Instead of coming the right
way, it's going the the wrong way. And
that's what happens in our life.
But the good news is if I apply certain
type of actions, a certain action that
is very specific, then I can sweeten the
judgments. I clean all the pipes. Like
you call the plumber, he comes with his
chemicals and his machines and
cleans all the pipes.
And then what happens is the pipes open.
And suddenly the shefa starts coming
down. Suddenly life I get life again.
And again, I'm emphasizing shefa is not
always money. Sometimes you're down 3
months, half a year. I'm not saying
postpartum or something. Sometimes you
have low energy. You don't want to get
out of bed. You don't want to do
anything. Everything that you're invited
to
uh
Why?
No shefa.
You don't have any energy to do
anything.
Now mituka dinim, sweetening the
judgment is basically the concept is
putting the light in the right way.
Not the wrong way.
And I explained last week how I would
where do you put the light? In kelim, in
vessels. But in most of the cases, the
light goes the wrong way. Here,
sweetening the judgments is putting the
light in the vessels the right way.
Now I'll give you an example because the
concept is a little bit
not always easy to grasp. But I'll give
you an example from day-to-day life what
I'm talking about.
If a person is hungry, then right now
we're going to define we're going to
define the
hunger as a deficiency, right? I have a
choser. I I I'm hungry. I need food. How
is that defined? Midat Hadin. I have a
lack.
Right? I have a deficiency. I'm feeling
a bad feeling of hunger.
So what do I do? I eat.
And then now I'm full.
What's the result of the eating?
The hunger disappeared.
So the lack disappeared.
Instead of a lack,
now I have pleasure.
I'm I'm full. I had a very good steak, a
very good meal. So not only did the
lack, the deficiency disappeared, I
filled it in with something that caused
me pleasure.
Which means that the annoying hunger
became was originally the vessel for
pleasure.
So the lack
was the vessel to receive pleasure.
Now the lack, the the hunger is the
background to what was going on here.
And for that needs what's called mituka
dinim. And the mituka dinim is you need
to know how to do it.
But this is the example is after when I
do the mituka dinim,
then life starts flowing very well.
But you get the idea how the lack is
basically your preparation to receive
something. So what do you take from
that? When something is a lack in my
life, A, it's a red light of Hashem
telling you you're going the wrong way.
But you
one might say, "Oh, it's the wrong way.
I'm doing wrong." And it can take the
person to a negative place. But from
here you can understand that the lack is
actually the key to receive later on
shefa. If I wasn't hungry, and I
wouldn't put food in my mouth, would I
get the pleasure of food? No. So I
needed to have the the chaseron. That's
midat hadin.
Now what I need to do is start to
sweeten the judgment. And when I sweeten
the judgment, in our perception, pipes
are clear, life starts moving.
Everything starts working out.
Business, finding your house,
educating your kids, your own spiritual
growth, your own mental health, and a
million and one things.
Going back to the definition of what I
said tzafui u'marash, everything is
defined pre-predestined, which means
that everything that goes on on my life,
everything that's every situation in my
life was already decided and
predestined. That's the definition.
The what I need to focus here is that
every situation in my life requires a
tikkun.
And that's where a lot of people missing
their avodat Hashem. I came to the world
of the Torah when I was 29 years old,
not when I was I didn't grow up in a
cheder or yeshiva. I grew up the
complete opposite.
And when I came to the world of the
Torah, I was a little bit disappointed
because I saw the gem the Torah offers,
and the limitation of how it's being
offered.
And the ones who are in the world of the
Torah from the time they were born, it's
like they're missing 90% of of
everything.
The avodat Hashem is like a robot.
There's no the all the aspects all
around that on the other hand, a baal
teshuvah or a convert pursues just
mainly that, cuz he's he or she is
looking to to reach to a refinement. I
want to become a better person. Why
would a person become observant? Cuz
they're looking for some type of
guidance how to become a better person.
Um this is very general, of course.
And these little things that I'm talking
about is a person can be so observant
and be focused on three times a day to
pray and bless things and learning
Torah, everything. But they're so
focused on that, they're not focusing on
the little things. And one of them is
what I'm saying, that every frame in
your life is requesting you a tikkun.
Which means that you can do 20, 40, 100
tikkunim every day. And if you miss it,
it will come the next day. It's like a
to-do list that you didn't mark it off.
It rolls over to the next day. So if I
had to have some argument with some
Israeli, I don't want to say
definitions, he took my parking and he's
screaming in that, and there's a tikkun
there.
How you conduct yourself, that the And
if you didn't do it, then the next day
you'll have the same encounter, or a
week later.
So we have to understand that every
situation, every situation in my life,
what's the tikkun?
What do I need to do here? I know it
sounds a little bit neurotic and OCD,
but it's not. And it shouldn't be done
in an OCD way. It has to be done in a
very, very healthy way.
That you have an encounter, a situation,
what's the tikkun? Sometimes it's just
open a book, read three chapters of
Tehillim, everything will be everything
will be okay.
Half the videos that I have online is
situations that happens to me in my
life, and I psychoanalyze it based on
teachings of the Torah.
You give a life example and and how I
connected all the dots, and sometimes
you don't understand what Hashem wants
from you. Why am I here? There's
obviously something to do.
Now the most important thing, so we can
start concluding, the most important
thing in the concept of mituka dinim is
that it has to be pre. It has to be done
before. You It It doesn't work when the
din is in action. If something happened
and and there's a din from above, and
now you have to go through a situation,
if you wake up during the situation and
do mituka dinim, it doesn't work. It has
to be in advance.
When do we do mituka dinim? Rosh
Chodesh. The entire month of Sivan, I'm
I'm going to have a list of challenges.
But on Rosh Chodesh I can sweeten the
judgments to the entire month. The
challenges will happen, but I will pass
them like that.
That's mituka dinim. It has to be pre.
It cannot be done as it's going. Like
I'll give you example, you're going
through a big challenge. Now you wake up
in teshuvah. Suddenly you go and pray,
tzedakah. Now you're waking up.
You're 2 weeks too late. You're going to
have to go through this right now.
You have to sweeten the judgment for the
for the future. That's why it's called
Rosh Hashanah, Rosh Chodesh. That's the
head. That's what you have tonight, the
ability to rearrange the dinim for the
month of Sivan.
The to to arrange everything for the
month of Sivan, and in the month of
Sivan you have the Matan Torah. That's
how powerful tonight is.
Mituka dinim can only be done before the
fact. It cannot be done as it's
happening.
Now what does it mean before the fact?
In Hebrew it's called merosh. Like
merosh in Hebrew is
prior.
And again, you see the Rosh, Rosh
Chodesh, Rosh Hashanah.
But what does it mean prior?
In Judaism we have very accurate
knowledge about time.
Because time is a very relative thing.
It's not a set thing.
I'll give you an example, a person can
dream, and in a few seconds of a dream,
you dream of a time span of a year.
So that's where you see the time is
relative.
And why? Because the time is relative to
your consciousness,
where you are at that point. Now when a
person is a very high spiritual level,
then he can perceive a few things at the
same time. That's like the great
tzaddikim. A person usually, a normal
person, can perceive one thing at the
same time one thing at a time. A person
with a very high spiritual level can
perceive a few things at the same time.
Now
life, like I told you before, is running
pictures.
If you're looking at your life at the
end of the day, after 120 years, they'll
show you the film of your life.
How many frames per second? I don't know
how to tell you, but it's a lot of
frames per second. In these cameras it's
30 to 60 frames per second.
So even if it's
I don't know, we're not going to start
calculating that. But imagine your life
is thousands and thousands of frames.
And every
part of your life is one picture.
And like I said, you have to fix this
picture. And if you didn't, then it will
come back again.
Lucky for us that we have the knowledge
how to go to the root of something and
to change something from its root.
That's part of the knowledge that the
Torah gives us. How to go to the essence
of everything and to change it from its
root. And that's really how you fix any
problem. That's how I relate to any
problem. I don't fix the problem on the
surface. I fix the problem in its root.
Because that's the problem of of most
solutions in this world. Fixing the the
the the problem if you're not the the
source of the problem. Fixing the
symptoms.
You go to a doctor, you have a rash on
your on your on your skin, the doctor
gives you a cream. Did the cream get rid
of the rash? No, it just pushed it back
into the body. The toxins are trying to
get out of the body, and you now pushed
it back in. So magically the cream made
the rash disappear. But it didn't do
anything. I didn't deal with the
problem. I have to go to the problem.
What what's causing this rash? Toxins
are trying to release from the body. Why
are they not coming out from the urine?
Why are they not coming from the sweat
or saliva? Must something's wrong in the
inside. Fix the inside, you'll get rid
of the rash.
Same thing here.
So we have Baruch Hashem the knowledge
how to go to the source and to fix
something from the root.
And how is it really done? That you put
chesed and rachamim, and mercy, inside
the judgment.
That's how it's done.
And how is it come about that it's I'm
putting the rachamim, the mercy, and the
chesed, the kindness in something that
is going to happen later.
That's what is important to know. Well,
while I'm going through the tikkun,
the the mituka midin midinim won't help.
So, when you wake up in the middle of
the challenge, it's good, but it won't
remove the challenge. It's not going to
be sufficient.
The mituka dinim, the sweetening of the
judgments is pre, which means that
tonight on Rosh Chodesh Sivan
and tomorrow on Sivan, if I do certain
actions, and this action is
pray
in the synagogue for a man,
to say hallel, to pray musaf, to hear
the Torah,
to have a a meal and wash for bread and
say birkat hamazon. And all sorts I'm
just saying basically, but with certain
actions that we do,
specifically on Rosh Chodesh or in other
auspicious times like Shavuot that is
coming, then I'm sweetening the
judgments for the whole month forward.
Can you imagine what I can do tomorrow?
I have a list of challenges that I'm
going to have to go through. And
difficulties and tests and
and tomorrow, tonight and tomorrow, I
can do a certain action
and I will sweeten the judgment and next
week when I need to deal with this, it's
not going to be that bad.
And I'll give you an example. Let's say
the judgment is that I have to get
pulled over by a policeman. I will get
over pulled over by the policeman.
Because it was decided already
50 years ago before I was born.
If I sweeten the judgments, the
policeman will say, "It's okay, you can
leave."
If I didn't sweeten the judgment, then
I'll get a ticket.
And if I didn't do anything, then I'll
get Hashem worse than a ticket.
But the police will stop me.
I decide what will be the situation.
The other day I was driving.
I admit my fouls. I drive fast.
I was driving to in my pleasure and out
of nowhere,
a police car
starts the lights,
starts going crazy and you know, now I'm
driving fast, I'll get a ticket.
I was driving on the left lane and I was
driving fast. So, and on the right lane
there was many cars. I couldn't go back
into the right lane. I mean, what are
you going to do? Drive faster now? So,
he went crazy, the police, flicking the
lights and everything. Finally, when I
moved over and I was convinced he's
pulling me over, he passed.
So, the minute that I'm like, "Oh my
god, he's going to pull me over. I'm too
fast. He's going to give me a ticket and
this." You know, your mind is going
crazy.
Why are you going through this fuss?
Why are you going through all this
fuss? He passed.
So, this is a perfect example. The
judgment will happen. How it's going to
happen?
Depends on you.
So, as the ability in these auspicious
times to take hesed, kindness, to take
rachamim, mercy, put it in the judgment,
in the din.
But only forward.
And then what happens? The judgment will
happen,
but sweetened.
Not like this, like this.
You'll go through the roller coaster.
And this is called mituk hadinim
bashoresh, sweetening the judgments in
the root.
Now, we have to understand, besides Rosh
Chodesh, there are three major batteries
in the year
that we can charge our soul.
And these are called the three
festivals.
The shalosha regalim, Pesach, Sukkot,
Shavuot. And like I told you before,
Pesach is where we receive the energy of
freedom.
We as receive the ability
to break out of my limitation, to go out
of my mitzraim, to to reach to a
spiritual, emotional and physical
freedom. That energy we get on Pesach.
That's the battery, the charge that
would last me for the entire year. You
do the job right on Pesach, the entire
year you have the keys to go out of your
mitzraim, your place of the of
limitation and the things that limits
you.
On Sukkot, like I explained, you receive
simcha, you receive joy. Celebrate the
festival of Sukkot the right way, you're
going to have true joy and happiness in
your heart the entire year, even if life
is full of disasters.
And Shavuot, we receive the Torah.
What does it mean we receive the Torah?
Each and every one of us receives their
portion, their share in the Torah. We
all have shares in the Torah.
And on Shavuot, I receive my share.
So, what happens on that night, on
Shavuot? And now start paying attention.
On the night of Shavuot, we receive the
Torah.
That's Matan Torah. That's when Hashem
gave us, when I'm saying us, the entire
world, the Torah.
The Torah, ignore for 1 second
everything you know and remember about
the Torah and focus on what I'm saying
now.
The Torah is like a powerhouse.
When you have a power plant, there's so
much electricity going on there. Now,
the electricity has to be transferred
into our houses. So, it goes through one
transforma- transformator that lowers
the voltage, spreads it out in many
different wires and then it goes and
goes and goes, many different stops, but
eventually the electricity comes to my
house.
Whether I turn the light on or off, the
electricity is waiting there.
I decide if I turn it on or off, but the
the power plant supplies the
electricity. If the power plant will
give me a direct wire to my house, I
would turn the light bulb and the whole
house will explode. It has to go through
stages that the transform-
I don't know how to say it in English,
transformator, transformer, transform-
whatever, it reduces the voltage.
And like that, many of them. That's the
same thing in the spiritual world.
Hashem is the power plant. He
projects light, but it has to go through
trans- these
transformers to reduce the light. It's
called tzimtzumim, contractions, and it
has to go one one transformer after the
other, the olam atzilut, olam briah,
olam yetzirah. It goes through the
spiritual worlds. It's contracting the
light of Hashem so I can receive
something from it and benefit from it
and not be completely nullified.
So, the Torah
is the pipes.
Hashem is the power plant and the Torah
are the pipes. So, that's why I told
you, ignore for a second the oral Torah
and the stories and the aggadot, ignore
it for a second. And uh and and focus on
the fact the Torah is pipes
bringing me the light from above to
below.
Now, when I get connected to the Torah,
especially on Shavuot, because I can get
connected to the Torah every day.
Every day, 24 hours a day.
There's no 24/6 here. It's 24/7.
But there are certain times that if I
connect myself to the Torah, ooh, wow,
wow, wow.
Right away the pipe opens.
I want to give an example cuz yesterday
I saw a commercial. And me myself, I
don't like the the electric cars for
many different reasons. But I saw a
commercial for a new electric car
that is out on the market. And then he
said something interesting in the
feature. He said in a
home charger, it takes 11 hours.
But if you do it like in a commercial
charger, 10 minutes.
Something like that. Like fast charge.
And I was like, "Wow, look at that."
Look at that.
He can do it in a slow charger in 11
hours or a fast charger in 10 minutes.
That's the same thing with the Torah.
Same thing. I can connect to the Torah
on a slow charge and receive
like
drizzling drops.
Or I connect it to the fast charger
and I pull everything down.
That can be done on Shavuot.
On Shavuot, I can do the fast charge.
And what I can do on one night on
Shavuot, which takes three, four, five
hours, you can't do it any
any night of the on on the calendar.
And when this happens, right away the
vessels the the the pipes open. Right
away.
So,
tonight, as I said, is the eve of Rosh
Chodesh.
Tonight, we start doing some spiritual
actions. You have to start doing the
spiritual actions. And why? Because the
head, Rosh Chodesh, holds everything in
it.
So, tonight I got to start, which means
I'm going to set tonight and tomorrow
what's going to happen in the next
month. And why is that so important? Cuz
in this month is the auspicious moment
of receiving the Torah. It's not a
regular day.
Now, when I when I make these spiritual
actions, then I bring this lights in
Rosh Chodesh, when I do the spiritual
action actions, I sweeten the judgments
for the entire month.
So, I have not only the auspicious time
of Rosh Chodesh to sweeten the
judgments, I'm going to also have it on
Shavuot. But right now, I want to be in
the state of preparation.
How am I going to receive this light if
I didn't prepare nothing?
Now, if you're counting the Omer the
right way, 49 days, you're doing a good
preparation. You'll come to Shavuot,
technically you should be very well
prepared.
But many people didn't count the Omer.
And many many people even they counted
Omer, they didn't do any spiritual work.
They didn't do any refinement. They
didn't do any
action.
That's most people. They Okay, they say,
"Today is the 20th day." Wow.
Did you do any introspection? Any plans
to change your behavior? Nothing.
So, you need a preparation. So, we still
have a week for Shavuot.
But, when I do the right spiritual
action, then I sweetening the judgments
forward.
So, what do I need to do?
As I explained many times, for every
action, in order for me to receive the
light, has to be a preparation.
And the preparation will decide or will
determine, sorry, not decide, will
determine how much
of the chef I'm going to get. I'm going
to get it on Shavuot. We all going to
get it. Each and every one of us gets
their portion in the Torah.
But, you can do the the fast charge or
the slow charge. Either you get nothing
or you get a lot. And all that depends
on your preparation, that will determine
how much of the chef you get for the
entire year.
So, what needs to be done? Three things.
First thing,
there is a verse in Tehillim 103,
kuf gimmel.
And uh verse 20.
And the verse goes as follows, "Baruch
Hashem malachav, giborei koach, osei
devaro, lishmoa bekol devaro."
Translation, "Bless the Lord, his
angels, those mighty in strength, who
perform his word
to hearken to the voice of his word."
Chapter 103, verse 20 in Tehillim.
What is this verse coming to teach me?
The Zohar says,
or I'll say different, the Zohar asks,
"What is the secret of the person
in the action that he does?"
I'll explain it a little bit different.
When I do certain actions, of course,
I'm talking right now positive.
Not negative. Negative, there's no
question. We know where the negative is
coming from. I'm talking about the
positive. When a person does something
positive,
where does it come from? Where does he
get the energy? What's the secret of
doing something positive?
So, the Zohar answers,
in Har Sinai, we're going to
commemorate the giving of the Torah. In
Har Sinai, when they received the Torah,
they did something that
caused wondered wonders in the world
above.
And that thing that they did was two
words,
na'aseh venishma.
Whatever God tells us, we will listen.
Uh sorry, we will do, and then we will
listen.
When the nation of Israel said na'aseh
venishma,
the heavenly court was shaking.
And a a heavenly voice came out and
says, "Who told them my secret?
How did they know?"
The Zohar says that when Hashem gives a
commandment to to a individual,
or to explain it different, when Hashem
puts you in a situation,
he gives you 100% the power to deal with
it.
Whatever it is,
loss of a loved one, loss of business,
lawsuit, whatever situation whatever
situation Hashem puts you in,
he will also give you 100% of the power,
the energy, the ability, everything to
deal with the situation. He doesn't
throw you to the water and tell you
swim.
The question is,
you can get 100%
from the power that Hashem gives you,
but you can also get 1% or 50% or 20%.
But, what determines how much percent
you're going to get?
Na'aseh venishma.
What determines how much of the 100% of
the power
that Hashem gives you to to to face your
struggle?
Cuz Hashem will give you power to do it.
From 1% to 100%, you decide. What will
determine? Na'aseh venishma. I will do,
and then I will listen.
When I do,
and I don't ask questions, then I get
100%. 100% of Hashem.
The second that my thoughts come in,
should I, do I, can I, do I want to, is
it convenient to me, right now it's not
good, oh, I don't want to do that,
the second your thoughts come in,
the 100% start going down
to 90, to 80, to 70.
The angels of Hashem are called giborei
koach. That's the verse that we read.
How is it translated? Giborei koach, the
those mighty in strength. That's how the
Torah is calling the angels.
Why they're called giborei koach?
Mi she'oseh belili ke lachnis chulshot
umachshavot. The ones who does without
in any interference of his own weakness
and his own thoughts.
That's an angel.
An angel doesn't interfere emotions.
An angel has a commandment, he goes and
do it, like a robot. That's why the
angels are called giborei koach.
Again, excuse my English, those mighty
in strength.
So, as I said, the second that I start
interfering with my thoughts or my
fears, then
the what I get from Hashem reduces.
What do I need to do?
Leave your thoughts behind.
Just action. Don't ask.
Just in na'aseh venishma. No no no why,
who, it's convenient, it's not
convenient.
And that's the problem with most people
of most people. They don't know how to
reach to the level of na'aseh venishma.
Just just do. Just don't don't ask too
many questions. Just accept. Accept it.
Now, when I'm saying that you have to
do, what does it mean have to do?
When you have to do a certain action,
cuz we're talking about na'aseh
venishma, do and then listen. So, what's
this do? What's this action? That's the
cleat that I need to do. That's that is
the cleat, the action. Right now I need
to go and pray, that's the vessel that I
need to create. Right now I need to say
birkat amazon, the grace after meal,
that's what I need to do right now.
That's what's going to make the vessel.
So, first of all that I need to
understand, that's first thing that you
need to prepare for Shavuot, and I told
you the preparation is key,
is that I need to prepare the fact of
na'aseh venishma. I have to bring myself
to a place that I just do. I don't ask
questions, and I'm talking about do what
Hashem needs me to do. Do what you need
to do.
Don't ask too many questions. Is it good
for me? Is it not good for me? Is it
beneficiary? Am I going to gain
anything? And then, of course, all your
advice to the situation.
The advice is just do what you need to
do.
That's it.
Now, I'm going to tell you now the
second thing that needs to be done, and
then you're going to understand more
clearly what just do what you need to
do.
But, I'll elaborate more. I'll I'll
sharpen the edge of na'aseh venishma
shortly. I want to read all three. But,
the first thing you need to do is bring
yourself to a place that you're in the
level of na'aseh venishma. First, tell
me what to do, I'll then I'll do it.
Then, if you need to explain, I'll
explain. And it's not always coming in
actions, sometimes the na'aseh venishma
is me saying not saying nothing at this
moment.
And I did na'aseh venishma. Cuz Hashem
doesn't want me to do slander. Hashem
doesn't want me to curse. Hashem doesn't
want me to get angry. Hashem Hashem
Hashem Hashem. So, I did na'aseh
venishma.
I I didn't do anything.
The second thing that needs to be done,
when they came to the mountain to
receive the Torah, it says vayichan sham
Yisrael.
The nation of Israel parked there. But,
it uses the word vayichan, single.
Our commentary asks, "Why not
vayachanu?" And they and they camped.
The commentary answers, "Ke'ish echad
beleiv echad." They were there like a
one person.
You cannot come to the Matan Torah, to
the giving of the Torah, if you have
hate in your heart.
It's not going to work.
You are going to miss the most powerful
day of the year to receive this blessing
of the Torah.
So, I'll repeat it again,
so you don't have to rewind the video.
You cannot come to Matan Torah, you
cannot come to Shavuot, if you have hate
in your heart.
You have to forgive.
I'm sorry I'm telling you that. I know
it's hard, but that's why I told you
na'aseh venishma. Just do it.
Just do the right thing. Do what needs
to be done.
And by the way,
I'm I know a lot of people are going to
tell me, "I don't hate anyone.
I forgave everybody."
The hate is not necessarily cuz I did
something to you.
Some people hate other people because
which president they chose.
You hate me cuz I chose this president
and my political views are different
than yours?
I don't hate you.
I disagree with most people in this in
this world, but I don't hate them.
And if I choose I don't choose the
president, but I'm giving an example,
that people, you know how much hate is
directed at me?
Like as if I control everything that
happens in this country.
Go look at the comments on YouTube. Baby
killer,
free Palestine, Uh
uh
What's that got to do with me?
I'm running the show here.
This is how stupid people sometimes
people can be.
And so the hate can be on things that
are
you follow this baseball team and this
is the other baseball team and we hate
each other. I mean
So the hate is not only you did
something bad to me.
I disagree with many. I just don't like
I just don't hate. Why should I hate
anyone?
First thing not seven nishma, second
thing you can come with hate in your
heart. You have to forgive. You have to
to to release any anger and hate and
come to try to come to amends and to at
least release in your heart and forgive
in your heart and even if a situation is
that somebody did something horrible to
you and we all have with that one person
in our life that did something horrible
to me that I'm saying in my heart, I
will never forgive this person ever and
forgive.
That person is a messenger of Hashem.
Whatever that person did to you, Hashem
did to you.
Say thank you that it wasn't worse.
Don't be angry at the messenger. Be
angry at yourself that Hashem turned the
table that this situation will happen to
you. Take full responsibility. Don't
blame the messenger.
As much as you want to sue him, kill him
and or whatever it is. I have many
situations like this in my life that my
nishma the not na'aseh v'nishma, sue
him, do this, do that and then and then
na'aseh v'nishma is like, okay.
That person is a messenger. Hashem could
have chosen that person to do the same
thing to me. I am the problem, not the
messenger.
The third thing that you need to do is
simcha.
Simcha means happiness.
Now a lot of people say, uh my life is a
wreck. How can I be happy?
Well, I'm not talking about the
happiness that you go to a bar and get
drunk or whatever brings you happiness.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Simcha is this work in it. There's a you
have to toil. It's not that you're going
to hocus pocus and I'm happy.
You have to put a lot of work
to get real true happiness.
Now let me quick give a quick
definition. What's What is happiness?
Can you define happiness?
Or I'll ask you the question
differently. When is a person happy?
The answer is very simple. The person is
happy when something good happens.
Simple math. When is a person happy?
When something good happens. That's it.
The only problem is that it's good in
his conscious consciousness.
It doesn't mean that it's good. In your
mind it's it's good.
So you're happy.
If I see my enemy now fall down and
breaks all his bones, I'm happy.
Something good happened. My enemy fell.
Did something
Is it good?
In my eyes it's good cuz he's my enemy.
In the enemy's In the guy's eyes it's
it's not good.
He's not his
an enemy in his eyes.
So when is it When is a person happy?
When his in in his consciousness the
situation is good.
When is a person unhappy?
Same answer.
When in his consciousness something is
not good.
But it's not the reality.
Because I can have a situation right now
that in my consciousness I understand
this is not good, but who am I to say?
Right now this situation is actually
like I told you before the vessel to the
next stage that will bring you the
blessing or save you from whatever
situation.
Is that worth getting upset, angry, or
whatever?
When I understand
that everything that happens to me is
good, then I can reach to a level of
true happiness.
When I tell you that you need to come to
Shavuot with simcha, I didn't refer to
anything as
similar to going to use drugs, alcohol,
holy loot, whatever is that makes a
person happy. I'm not talking about that
at all because that's your perception.
One person will tell me, I go to a
football game that makes me the most
happiest ever. Okay.
In your consciousness it's a good thing,
so it makes you happy.
One person will say, I read a good book.
Another person will say a good meal.
Another person will say, walk in the
park, whatever.
But I wanted to reach to true happiness,
not the happiness cuz I bought a nice
bag or a nice car or a new shirt or I
had a good meal.
I want the happiness to be from within.
So that happiness can only achieve I can
only achieve that when I reach to the
level of understanding that everything
that happens to me
is good.
Then everything is good in my
consciousness and everything is good.
Then what happens by that? I'm happy all
the time.
That's it.
Nothing affects me.
Because even when I lost this
investment, it was good because it made
it a rectification for me and removed
from me tons of other sins. And when I
missed the flight, it's good. I came on
to I you know
to whatever I needed to do. If you let
Hashem, you know,
roll you over on your life, you'll see
how after things that in your life you
perceive as bad, they're actually very
good to you.
You know, many years ago my son
uh
he was very young, 2 years old, two or
two and a half, whatever. He fell down
the stairs.
And he rolled down the stairs and of
course we ran to see what's going on and
as I was I was like touching his head to
see if he, you know, hurt his head.
And as I was touching the head, here
behind, really like in the back in the
back in the back, he had a tick.
We were in the playground, whatever. He
got a tick.
Now imagine I wouldn't find the tick.
Uh we lived in New York at the time.
These ticks they give you Lyme disease.
You almost can't get rid of it or many
other diseases. Can you imagine I
wouldn't find the tick? Now what caused
me to find the tick?
He fell the stairs.
So I can take a bad situation
then say, oh, it's bad. Yeah, but it
brought me to realize something more
important.
So that's one example out of many.
But in order for me to reach true
happiness, then I have to reach to a
level that I understand that everything
that happens to me is good.
And with that you have to attach to that
that no light
will come into any vessel when you are
in sadness, in a state of sadness.
A state of sadness, depression, all that
is it paralyzes your soul. That's what
it does.
If you let anything in your life
make you depressed or unhappy or you
unhappy from a situation,
just so you know, no light can come into
any vessel. You paralyzed your soul on
that point. That's why depression the
sadness it pulls you down and down.
So to conclude,
your behavior
will determine the clarity of the pipes
through all the energy of your life goes
through.
Good behavior, clean pipes. Wrong
behavior, dirty pipes.
Dirty pipes will create a lack in your
life in many aspects of your life
that is called din and you can sweeten
these dinim with all the actions that we
went through. If you don't sweeten the
dinim, then the judgment will come
harsh. Yeah? So you're going to have to
deal with a lot of problems.
If you're smart, in Hebrew we say to
take the medicine before the disease,
before the problem.
How? Then in every auspicious time that
we have, we sweeten the judgments. Rosh
Chodesh.
Erev Shabbat. The times how to sweeten
the judgments, but
one of the the highlight is
Shavuot.
Now what needs to be done is just
actions. You need to prepare for Shavuot
with everything that we just explained
and to come to Shavuot
A,
I need to program in my mind that
everything is na'aseh v'nishma. My
opinion doesn't count at this point.
I need to do something, I have to do it.
Deal with it.
And that includes all the teshuvah that
I need to do. A lot of people don't do
teshuvah cuz they don't want to deal
with it. They don't want to now talk to
this person or that person.
You have to bring yourself to a place of
saying, whatever Hashem wants me to do,
I'm going to do.
That's na'aseh v'nishma. The second,
vayechan sham. You got to come into the
holiday when you release all anger, all
hate
uh towards anyone.
Don't don't look for revenge. Don't be
angry. Whatever anyone did to you,
that's Hashem's hand. When you're
looking for revenge, you're taking
you're taking the matters into your own
hands.
I tell tell people the sweet revenge,
let Hashem do his thing.
Trust me.
Whatever you think of doing to this
person, Hashem has much more ways to do
to this person. Don't worry.
Don't be the the judge and the executor
and the defense. Be the victim.
Be the miskin. Don't worry.
If that person needs to get, so to say,
his dose back,
it will be much more harsh when Hashem
does it than you. What are you going to
do? You're going to sue them? You're
going to physically attack them? You're
going to damage their property? What are
you going to do?
How much can you do?
Let Hashem deal with it. Your prayer
needs to be, I hope that person does
teshuvah for their actions.
That person was chosen to be a
messenger. He could have said no.
The messenger can say, "I'm not doing
it."
He chose to do it. That's his issue.
Don't look for revenge. Let Hashem deal
with the situations. Trust me, when you
roll over the responsibility to Hashem,
the right thing is done.
And the last but not least, like I told
you, simcha.
And it's not something that you work on
by watching funny movies.
It's by understanding that everything
that happens to me is the best thing
that could have happened. Which means
that next time something difficult,
negative, wrong happens to you, don't be
upset, don't be angry, don't lose your
temper, don't lose your calmness. Stop
and say, "This is the best thing that
could have happened to me. I do not
understand yet why. Thank you, Hashem."
That's it. And move on with your day.
It will take a week or two or or a month
or two, you'll realize how good that
was. And maybe you'll realize only a
year later.
Why a person took that person away from
you, why a person why Hashem fired you
from this job, why Hashem evicted you
from this house. You know how many
stories I know people who got evicted in
their house somehow was there was
Recently, I heard this guy got evicted.
He couldn't understand. He was like, "I
Why why am I evicted?" He was like
homeless for a few days.
It wasn't easy to get evicted.
And I kept telling him, "It's all good.
It's all good."
And then later on we figured out that
one of his kids was constantly getting
sick. They couldn't figure it out and
the whole house was moldy.
And they left the house. A few months
down the line, the son just heals.
And reverse engineering, ah, that's why
you got evicted. So, you went through a
little
uh
How do you call slap on your hand?
You solved the problem that you couldn't
figure out. The child's sickness. They
couldn't figure out what's going on. And
of course the doctors Oh, well, the
doctors say.
So, bring yourself to the point that you
know that everything that happens to you
is the best thing that can happen to
you.
When you're perceptive, you see that the
best things that are born from the
biggest disasters.
So, these are the three things that you
need to prepare prior to Shavuot. Now,
what do you do on Shavuot?
So, on Shavuot, you have to read the
Tikkun Leil Shavuot. We stay up all
night and we learn Torah.
I know many say that women shouldn't do
it. I say women can and should do it if
they can.
Uh
don't be hard on yourself if you can't,
but at least do something. If you cannot
be up all night, be up 2 hours. Learn
Torah 2 hours.
Don't go to sleep that night. That's my
recommendation. You do whatever you
want. You can ask your local rabbi what
he tells you to do and what not to do.
You want my recommendation? Women,
children, anyone that knows how to open
their mouth and read Torah, let's sit
them down and let them learn Torah, even
little kids. That's the night when we
received the Torah.
Great sages have told us, "Bring your
little kids to the synagogue just that
they should hear the 10 Commandments.
It's going to affect them for their
entire life."
So,
uh again, I'm saying uh you can use my
recommendation or not. And if you use my
recommendation, it's backed up by any
any Torah sources as you you you want.
Women can stay up all night and learn
Torah on Shavuot.
The ones who don't want to do it,
well, don't do it.
You can't do the whole night, 2 hours.
You can't do 2 hours, do half an hour.
But you want to
stay up all night and there's a there's
a
there's a reason why we stay up all
night. The result says, I'm going to
tell it short, that when a person stays
up all night and loses sleep and learns
Torah, not up all night in a in a
discotheque in a club, that doesn't
apply. Uh stay up all night learning
Torah,
then you remove one karet.
One of the the the the punishments of
karet. So, technically, we all need to
stay up all our lives.
But it doesn't matter. There are ways to
remove uh the karets. But one night you
stay up, it removes the karet. It does a
spiritual effect that you have to stay
up all night.
What do we do? We learn Torah. Don't
don't do anything but learning Torah. In
the morning, you have to go to the
prayer. Women, too, should go and
especially listen to the 10
Commandments. All the prayer is
important, but the 10 Commandments are
the peak.
In the 10 Commandments are 613 letters
corresponding to the 613 mitzvot. Every
letter in the 10 Commandments wakens up
one channel for one of the mitzvot
corresponding to your limbs of your soul
and your body.
Pay attention. Be quiet.
Don't fall asleep. Listen to the 10
Commandments word by word. Choose a
synagogue where you can actually hear it
and not some guy that goes on 300 km an
hour.
Where you can hear it, it's going to
affect your soul in a way that you can't
even understand.
Needless to say to observe the holiday
with the three meals and not desecrating
the holiday like Shabbat. You want to do
it perfect. Don't come to don't don't
come with any complaints if you
desecrated the festival and you don't
see
results in your life. But if you
prepared the right way, hopefully you
prepared with Sefirat HaOmer. If you
didn't prepare with Sefirat HaOmer,
start today.
It's never too late.
But if you prepared the right way, then
Sefirat HaOmer brings you 99 99% ready
to Shavuot. The 1% is the rest of the
stuff that I told you. But if you follow
the series and the lectures that I had
in the past that we did throughout
Sefirat HaOmer, it gives you all the
tools, all the guides, everything. If
you did it, ashrecha, you're happy,
you're good. You didn't, you have a week
to work on yourself. Not even Shavuot is
Sunday night.
But you want to come prepared to
Shavuot, which means you have to
introspect. I would take tonight as Rosh
Chodesh and tomorrow 15 minutes of your
day, 2 hours of your day, sit down, read
Tehillim, pray to God to open all your
channels of your mind so you can do the
right teshuvah,
that you can repent on everything that
you need to do in this week.
Tie loose ends. Give back money you owe.
Apologize to whoever you need to. Make
yourself a plan for the next few months
how you climbing higher and higher in
the path of the Torah. Make teshuvah.
Even if you're asking right now how, I
can't tell you how now. Go to my YouTube
or go to atsmoo.com. There's 500 classes
how to do teshuvah.
I can't tell you how to do teshuvah in 3
minutes. But the minimum of the minimum
is do your cheshbon nefesh, your
introspection. Write down a few things.
I need to apologize to this person. I
need to return this to that person.
Come to Shavuot like as if you're
thinking, "Now we're getting the Torah."
Cuz that's what's happening spiritually.
I'm getting the Torah. Now, if I come
prepared, I get my portion.
How much of my portion I'm going to get?
Depends on me.
You might get 100% and I might get only
80% or 2%.
So, prepare yourself right to
Shavuot. And we have such opportunity on
Rosh Chodesh to do that.
And now I'm not going to elaborate.
There's a page on my website
atsmoo.org/shavuot.
It has all the information you need to
know about Shavuot, the prayers,
everything. Same thing in another page
atsmoo.org/roshchodesh
sivan. All the prayers, everything that
you need to do, all the instructions. I
made it very easy to anyone who wants to
follow it. I don't remember all the
pages off by heart. Be underneath the
video will be the links. But there's a I
have a page just for the prayers that I
told you you need to do tonight. The
prayers for the kids by the Shelah
HaKadosh.
And even if you are 90 years old and
your child is 60, it's he's still your
child. And even if you're single now and
you don't have kids, in 10 years you'll
have kids.
Everybody should recite this. So, the
page I believe it's atsmoo.org/
prayers for kids. Something like that.
But do that tonight. And tomorrow on
Rosh Chodesh, do the prayers of Rosh
Chodesh.
And and also try to go to a beit
knesset, hear Kriat HaTorah, do Hallel.
Build yourself the right vessels on Rosh
Chodesh cuz tonight and tomorrow you can
It's not even reversing. It's aligning
everything.
And now I sweetened all the judgments on
Rosh on on on Shavuot. That will allow
me to be totally focused on the night of
Shavuot and not to fall asleep on the
table in a second and a half.
And come to Shavuot ready to receive the
Torah. And you don't have to do much. We
read the Tikkun Leil Shavuot. I know it
takes 4 or 5 hours if you
are a slow reader. But how it works, the
result fixed it that we're reading three
verses
uh of the beginning of a chapter and an
end of a chapter of all the 24 books in
the Tanakh.
So, you're reading the first three and
last three verses of every parashah and
then every book and all the 24 books of
the Tanakh and then the 613 mitzvot of
the Rambam and we cover everything.
I know a lot of people who don't finish
it that night.
Finish it the next day.
The first Shavuot I ever celebrated in
my life, it took me 3 months to finish
this tikkun.
I started that night.
Needless to say, fell asleep every 2
seconds.
The whole day of Shavuot I continued,
but I didn't finish. My rabbi at the
time told me, "Finish it. Doesn't matter
how long it takes you." It took me 3
months to finish it cuz every day I
would read like 10 minutes.
I mean, I had my daily things to do.
But I I was determined to finish it.
Why? First of all, that's how I was
educated. You start something, you
finish it. Doesn't matter how long it
takes you. But specifically with this,
it's a tikkun. So, it wasn't done the
best way on Shavuot, but I did the
entire tikkun.
So, my recommendation is you read the
entire tikkun throughout the night. You
do everything that I mentioned.
And with that, you don't need to do
much. That's it. That in itself starts
fixing everything. You don't need to do
much. That's what most people don't
understand.
A lot of people ask me, "How do I do the
Tikkun? How do You don't need to do any
You don't do anything."
You know what's the best way of healing
the body
from any disease?
Leaving the body alone.
That's how you heal the body.
The body can heal from any disease
if you leave it alone.
If you start bothering the body, it
won't heal itself. You're making it
weaker.
So, most of the medication that you push
in your body makes your body weaker. It
makes your immune system weaker. It
doesn't let your body heal itself. The
right way of medicine is leave your body
alone.
Let it cleanse its the toxins. Of
course, when I'm saying leave your body
alone,
digest How do you say? Ingest the right
things. Don't eat
certain food. You have to eat the right
food. You have to give the the body what
it needs. The body will heal itself.
This is the same thing with your soul.
You can't do Tikkunim for yourself.
That's what people don't understand. You
cannot do it. You just need to do a
certain action.
And the action that I'm talking about it
is about if we're comparing it to
health, what is the action you need to
do? Give the body good food. Give the
body good vegetables and and and and
fruit and whatever
food you eat then and then move back.
But if you give the body junk, then the
body can't do anything.
Same thing here. You don't have to do
much. Do a certain action. The action is
prayer. The action is Teshuvah. The
action is charity. The action is
changing my path.
And let Hashem do his thing.
And he will melt all all the junk. All
the pipes are going to be cleaned.
You're going to come out of Shavuot
The other day,
I told my son,
"Uh
you got to clean the filters of all the
air conditionings."
It was full of dust.
The second that we cleaned the filter,
suddenly the air conditioning you barely
hear it. When it's clogged,
and more than that, 10 minutes, the
whole house was like a like an ice cube.
And I told my son, "You see? You just
cleaned it. How you changed the the air
condition worked the same, but it didn't
produce anything. It wasn't cold enough.
It was noisy."
Same thing here.
You just clean the filters, everything
is going to start flowing the right way.
Things are going to work out. Solutions
are going to start popping up.
Situations are going to start working
out and fixing itself. Life will become
much smoother, much healthier, much
happier, much more successful because
you're going to start doing Tikkunim,
fixing all your problems.
And most important, you are going to be
more connected to Hashem.
So, with that said,
the recap of the recap,
tonight is the Rosh Chodesh Tfilat
Banim. Go to the website, read the
prayer. Don't miss it out.
Tomorrow Rosh Chodesh, tonight and
tomorrow Rosh Chodesh. I told you
go to the pages on the website. All the
instructions, all the information is
there.
Take advantage of that.
And and and do what you can. I'm going
tonight to the grave of the Shalah to
pray and tomorrow to Abba Meir to pray
for Rosh Chodesh. If you want to give me
names, you know the drill.
Next week is Shavuot. It's Sunday and
Monday. Sunday night is the night that
we're staying up. Do whatever you need
to do on Rosh Chodesh and on Shabbat
that is coming. I don't have the time to
give instructions, but it's Shabbat
before Shavuot. Also very important how
you set everything.
And needless to say that Shavuot is the
peak and you you you can reshape and
redesign your life. I'm telling it from
experience, not from not from reading. I
learn,
practice,
master, come and teach. So, what I'm
telling you is not
maybe.
It works. You put your life in the right
right track. It doesn't remove the
challenges, but it makes the challenges
like a
a little bump on the way.
And
you see how this bump can cause you
to become a jumping board.
And most important, one needs to take
into consideration I didn't talk about
it this class, but we're finalizing the
Omer. I have enough information online
in all the courses on the Omer. The
significance of the last week, also
apply that. It's the week of Malchut
where you're summarizing everything and
you're concluding everything.
And with that, I'm going to end with
another good news
announcement. Bezrat Hashem, I don't
have the dates yet, but in a few weeks,
I'm going to be touring the United
States the entire summer.
And major locations I'm going to be of
course is New York, New Jersey, Miami,
and many other cities. We're going to be
in Denver and Vegas and I don't remember
the entire list in Boston and and a lot
of places. So,
for the local ones, you're going to have
to not have me for 2 months. For the
ones behind the screen, we're going to
have a lot of interesting lectures. Just
that you know, the tour is coming.
And many other exciting things.
So, I'm going to finish off by just
blessing you with success in your true
path, in your new journey. That Hashem
should bless you. That everything that
we learned now, you'll be able to apply
it in the easiest way.
And that each and every one of us should
be blessed in receiving our portion in
the Torah so we can shine with it to the
rest of the world and needless to say,
connect ourselves to our the master of
the universe on this powerful day and
benefit everything that we need to. I
wish you already Chodesh Tov and Chag
Sameach.
And
last that I want to leave you with, when
I was a young teenager,
my father gave me a very valuable
lesson.
And he told me in life, when you come to
situations and you ask yourself, "What
should I do?"
The answer should be, "Just do."
