When I was young, I had an opportunity
to buy stocks of a very successful
company the day they came out to the
market. I didn't take the advice and
needless to say didn't invest and could
have had the chance to make a lot of
money.
I'm not selling you stocks today, but I
am selling you the
opportunity to change every aspect in
your life, to change the path you're
walking onto a positive way, and to make
your life successful in every aspect in
your life that you are interested. So
there is an opportunity, pay attention.
This coming Sunday is the holiday of
Shabot, one of the most powerful days on
the Jewish
calendar, where we are commemorating the
receiving and the giving of the Torah at
Mount Si over 3,000 years ago. We do
know that every time we celebrate a
holiday and a festival, it's because a
certain repetition happens on that day
of of the year. And the same energy, the
same godly light that came down to the
world at the time of the event repeats
itself every year on that aspicious day.
And that's the day that is coming in a
few days on the holiday of
Shabot. Last week I gave a very long and
in-depth uh lecture about the holiday,
about the concept, about all the
opportunities.
I wanted to highlight two points in it
and to recommend you to go watch this
lecture in case you haven't yet. If you
haven't, go to my YouTube. It's the last
lecture
loaded. And the reason that you want to
listen to it because on the holiday of
Shvot, we have a one-time
opportunity to change everything that
I'm not happy about in my life.
Everything that is negative, things
don't work. I have the opportunity to
receive a blessing. I have the
opportunity to build the right vessels
and I have the opportunity to pull down
godly light with such amazing energy and
abundance of blessing through the entire
year. I'm not going to elaborate on the
opportunity of the day for that I gave
the lecture that you should go watch on
YouTube. But two things that I wanted to
point is that on the holiday of ShΓ uot,
what
happened at Matanto is that Hashem
opened everybody's eyes. Everybody
was in this world but blinded to what's
going on in this world. Not only to the
corruption, the hate and the wars and
everything in this world. Rather, their
eyes were open of not seeing how
everything in this world is the hand of
God.
It says in the midash that when God
brought the nation of Israel close to
the mountain, he showed them the Torah
and he told him, "If you not going to
accept the Torah right now, right here
on this mountain, this is going to be
the place of your burial." Which of
course comes a big question. Well, God
forced us to receive the
Torah. The explanation is that God
didn't force us to receive the Torah.
Rather he opened our eyes that we saw
the reality. We saw how
invado there's nothing but God.
Everything happens in the hand of God.
Nothing moves in this world without the
supervision of God. The nation of Israel
saw these spiritual pipes bringing the
blessing from the world above to the
world below. The action that happened in
Matan Torah is that their eyes opened
and they saw that without the Torah they
have no life. That's why the midrash
says that if you don't accept the Torah
here is going where where you're going
to be buried. That's when they
understood that without the Torah in
their life there's no life. There are
not going to they're not going to live.
And the miracle that God did is he
opened their eyes to see that. And
that's what's going to repeat itself
every year. And that's what's coming
next Sunday on the holiday of Shabot
where we have the opportunity that
Hashem should open our eyes that we see
how everything is by the hand of
God. In order for that then we need a
preparation. Uh the day of Shabot can
transform your life but you need a
preparation. The preparation has to be
done prior to Shabot with the counting
of the om that we are going to conclude
on M Shabbat and all the work spiritual
work that needs to be done prior to
that. But on
ShΓ uot has to be done a few things. I
explained in the long lecture I will
elaborate on that very shortly that
there are three things that you need to
have or to achieve in order to come into
the holiday of Shvot with your hands
open to receive your blessing. The first
thing that you need to master is the
concept of where you take on yourself
that you will listen to the commandments
of Hashem. You will listen to the
decisions of Hashem without asking too
many questions. And it's not only
arguing about the mitzvot. It's also
accepting situations that come from the
hand of Hashem. The second thing is that
we cannot enter the holiday of Shot with
hate in our heart. The Torah is standing
on a foundation that is
called that you should love another
person like you love yourself. Where I
explained many times that the word like
yourself can be also that be directed at
Hashem you should love your fellow
person like Hashem loves that person.
The reality is that if a person applies
the the the
commandment, you should love your fellow
person like yourself, then even if the
other person is not cooperating, you
become one. You did the mitzvah of
unity. You brought yourself to a place
of
oneness. And a person needs to be in
unity with his surroundings. You don't
need to like everybody. You don't need
to agree with everybody, but you
shouldn't hate anyone. Even if you don't
agree with their actions, even if they
you don't agree with their their
behavior, that's okay. But do not hate
anyone. Be don't be judgmental towards
the behavior of other people. You cannot
come into the holiday of Shabot with
hate in your heart. And of course, the
third thing that one needs to do is
increase. And it's not just putting
music and starting to dance.
Reaching a true level of sin is
understanding that everything that
happens in your life is good and
everything that happens in your life is
from
Hashem. There are much more to focus on
and to do on this holiday, I recommend
to go see this long lecture. But what I
want to uh emphasize today is a few
things. A the preparation. We're
entering Shabbat now. Whatever you do on
Shabbat blesses the entire week.
Celebrate the Shabbat the right way. Go
to synagogue. Listen to the Torah. Have
your meals. Learn Torah. Do whatever you
can. The preparation on Shabbat is very
powerful. On Sunday, we stay up all
night. We read the tikun shot. I'll
explain on that in a second. And after
that, we pray early in the morning and
reread the ten commandments. Follow all
these things. All the instructions are
written on my
website.org/shav where you'll find all
the instructions that you need to to to
follow. You'll find a very in-depth but
short summary of the entire spirat of
all 49 spirro. very very inspirational
and I recommend to read it before
Shabbat and before the
holiday and it's David Melik's birthday
so we read tim all day that day you want
to devote to the Torah because on that
day the heavens open blessings come down
and if you're ready to receive it the
blessings will affect your life that it
will change every aspect of your life
that is negative not working no flow no
success so if you're looking to better
your life with good livelihood to find
your other half or to have very good
relationship with your wife and kids to
to be able to learn Torah to be able to
work on your your midot on your
characteristics
you when you want life to flow well then
you need to do an action and shot is the
night where you can set everything up
there's another thing I wanted to
mention which is extremely important
because we're doing all this prepar
spiritual preparation with Ome and
reading the Torah all night and so
forth. But a very strong element here is
that in order to receive blessing, one
needs to create a
vessel. In this case, the vessel is a a
charity when you give from yourself to
others. Palaji explains that on the
night of shot prior to the night of shot
in order to have the tikun shot be
effective one should give charity in the
amount of
104 twice the minan of the word ben ben
means a son uh there's many explanations
to that where I explain in the class
online but the recommendation is to give
charity in the amount of 104 twice 52
twice the gimat
Ben and this charity has to go
specifically to a person who learns
Torah
or Torah institute but better a person
that learns Torah poor person that
learns Torah and should be given to that
poor person. So we have the merit a to
teach Torah all over the world to spread
Torah and to support a lot of Torah
scholars and Torah learners. So on the
same website atmud.org/shavot /shot
where you'll find all the instructions
for Shabot. You'll find all the prayers,
you'll find all the information you need
to know, including the PDF you can
download for the summary of Omar and
everything really that you need,
including the video you need to watch.
You have also the opportunity there to
submit your donation of in the amount of
104, which will go to uh Torah learning,
Torah studies, and spreading Torah. as
I've been doing in the last few
holidays, we have the honor and the
opportunity uh
uh for the ones who want uh to support
our organization of spreading Torah. For
every $180, we offer a bottle of wine of
my special wine from Israel. So there's
another opportunity that you can take
advantage of that not only that you get
an amazing wine from Israel, healthy, no
sulfites, organic and kosher by me and
the badat. Uh you also get to support my
organization that for the last 22 years
has been teaching Torah, spreading
Torah, inspiring people from all corners
of the world to apply the Torah. And uh
as our Mishna
says, if there's no flower, there's no
Torah. Uh so you have here another
unbelievable opportunity to partner with
my organization in spreading Torah and
submit your organization and to show our
gratitude as I said for a donation over
$180. You will receive one of my bottles
of wine, premium bottles of wine from
Israel. And there's so much more to say,
but I want to keep this video short. So
I will h finalize with three things. Go
watch the long video that I posted on
YouTube. Go to
atmood.org/shav and follow all the
instructions and do everything to a tea.
Every little thing do it and I promise
you your life will change
tremendously 180Β° change in every aspect
that you need. If you need health, if
you need your livelihood, if you need
good relationships with your with your
family, if you need to find your other
half, whatever is in your life, your
spiritual struggles, you can't get up
from the the the this mess that you're
in. Anything in your life that is going
in the wrong direction, Sunday night,
you have the opportunity to change it
180Β° to go in the right direction. The
explanations are in the long video. I'm
going to leave you with a blessing.

going to wish you already
now and may bless you with everything

heart desires in order to serve Hashem
in the best way possible and may Hashem

portion in the
Torah and mainly open your eyes to see

before shaved to remind you everything.
Don't miss out. I learned 30 years ago
that when an opportunity is being
presented to me, not to brush it off.
The minimum of the minimum is to look
what is the opportunity to see what
needs to be done. Maybe there's not a
lot of effort here. What is offered to
you is a little bit of effort and
blessings adai with no limits. So

you need to do. Hashem is going to bless
you with everything that you need to do
