[Music] We are right now in the best period in the year to remove any barriers, any blockages, anything that is stopping you from moving to the next level. Anything that is stopping and abundance from coming to you. This week is the best period of the year to remove all these barriers. DKA this week. So if something is stuck in your life, listen up. Listen and pay attention. Now what does it mean something stuck in your life? A person battles one year, two years, 5 years, no panas. And I hear like that 50 a day. Trying here, trying there, doesn't matter what happens. Can make ends meet, can make money, struggling with palnasa, money problems. This is one one way how you kind of stuck in life. And I'm not talking about a week or two. It's a years or a long period. And it's not only the finance. Can be schwamite. It can be a couple that is struggling with their relationship and over and doesn't matter what they're trying. They're trying counseling. They're trying this, they're trying that. And and and it's sitting them like a like a burden. And that can be any different thing. Can be a disease that you're battling shalom, a sickness, a weakness, all sorts of issues. Can be an annoying family member. It doesn't matter. It's anything that is making your life feel that you're stuck, that you can't continue or can't jump over that little challenge that is just in the physical realm. But what about the spiritual challenges that you have? A lot of people they they put all their time to the focus on their physical challenges that they have. Trying to get money, trying to find their other half, trying to make ends meet. What about your spiritual challenges that you have a that is driving you crazy that is not letting you grow? How many times is a certain individual that says I I want to I want to go to the next level. Every day he tells himself at night tomorrow I'm going to wake up to go and pray in the minyan and he wakes up the next day at 11 and every day 11 and then the next day one and you have a struggle that can put a lot of pressure on an individual. Why can't I get my my my act together? I'm trying to do something holy. Sometimes when you're trying to go forward in your spiritual life, you feel there's a there's a block and you and you're struggling. So the sad reality that everybody is dealing with these challenges, everybody has these these barriers that are stopping them from going to the next level. Physical, spiritual, both. Now of course comes the big question. What causes that? What causes issues in your life, they will stop you from moving to the next level? I mean, when you're dealing with the issue, you might ask yourself, Hashem, what do you want from me? Or you ask yourself, what am I doing wrong? When something doesn't go well in my life or doesn't go smooth as I would expect, there's questions right away. Is it the right path? Maybe I'm on the wrong path. Maybe the wrong attitude. Why is it not working? Not working. once, twice, three times. Okay, there'll be attempts to make it work. But after a while, something doesn't work. Right away, let's look let's look at the system. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here. So, the fact is that everybody has the these issues. There's another big issue on top of that. When a person doesn't realize that he has all these issues, that's not what we're talking about. That's a very far away individual. We're we're in the level that we we already aware of what's going on. So what is causing these blockages, these barriers in my life that are stopping me from moving to the next level? So the answer is short. It's my behavior. That's it. It's my behavior and a a large amount of it is my attitude. But really the most of it it's my behavior. I bring on me how I conduct myself and how I behave, how I I pull on myself the energy that I project out. So today I want to explain what causes that. Now when you know what causes that then obviously you know how to bypass that. So we are in a very very powerful week. Uh today, this week is the fifth week of the spir the of we know by our holy books and the holy text that the heavens are open in this week the sham it actually says whatever you ask now this week you get it the heavens are open for prayer specifically this week we already started the week it started on the 14th of on Monday on Pes but we have till Sunday. So I'll explain that hod, the spir of hod is considered one of the hardest spir if you reverse the letters if you read it backwards it's red dava dava means sitting in pain that you're si suffering from pain that that's the what it means which means that the intensity of the energy of hod is to bring the strongest of all judgments. So now I will ask myself a question. So how the holy books and all the holy teaching is telling us that dapka the week of hud the fifth week of the is the best week. You just tell me shortly that the of is known to be the harshest dime are attracted to the spir of hood. So how can you tell me this is the best week in the week in a in in in a level that the shamim are open the heavens are open. So it's very very simple the sp of when it's coming in a negative way it's you read it uh from left to right it's read da which means suffering which means uh pain and so forth. But if you do a tikun, if you do a rectification, so then you read it from right to left and it becomes and h is glory. And not only that, the Torah comes and tells you that if you do it the right, then you reach to and splendor too. So the beginning is negative like everything in this world. The world was created. First was darkness, then came the light. And it's like that in everything in the Torah. First comes the dark darkness, then comes the light. So first comes the bitterness of the spir of hood, which is pain and suffering. And we can relate with pain and suffering each and every one of us in their level. But if you conduct yourself the right way, which is called the tikun, you're fixing something, you're doing a rectification, then the energy goes to a different direction, then it goes from right to left and that's h and then you receive h glory and and and splendor. So it's important to understand the spiritual structure before we come to the physical reaction. There is a part from the it's called I'm sure you're familiar with it read it every day other they read it once a week it doesn't really matter but the is referring there for the corresponding to body parts so is the right hand is the left hand and is the body then you have is the right leg and is the left leg and is the the center of the body or the the the male and female organ but it's considering the center of the body is the left leg and if you remember when Jacob was fighting the sitra the sam basically this is not just a physical bar fight that they were exchanging fists this is a a spiritual fight in its root the fight between good and evil. The fight between Yakov and and the minister of Isa. This is a very deep concept. But nevertheless, how did the angel overpower Yakov? He quetched him in his left leg. He went straight to the left to the left leg where it's sensitive where the denim when the judgments are the harshest. Not for nothing. He could have punched him in his nose or the Torah could I don't know what he bent his hand. Why did you tell him the angel went to his left leg? because the this was a spiritual fight and the sme went straight to the sphere of h with the din are attached in a very severe way. Now is not only dim judgments. It's denim kashim hard judgments. Harsh judgments. Hard harsh. Now what what is denim? We have to understand a few concepts in order for us to understand what's going on. The translation of dinen is is judgment. Dimm a plural judgments. But the definition of denim is harsh aspects of divine judgment. That's the definition of denim. And what it comes into play when you sin, that's it. You sin, you pull on yourself this energy. And this energy is called judgment. Dim. Now it's very important to understand dean is not a punishment. There is the concept in the Torah which is explained clearly by my monities by Rambam. There's good and bad and there's the there's a reward and punishment. You do good, you get a reward. You do bad, you get punished. That's a whole different thing. That's a punishment. Dim is not punishment. It's nothing to do with Hashem punishing you or trying to be mean to you. That's not in Hashem's menu. You do a certain act and you pull on yourself this judgment. That's how it works. So judgment is not a punishment. Rather, it's in Hebrew it's called the translation is corrective measures. I do something wrong. I need to be put back in my place. I have said not once and not twice how in the last 10, 20 years technology is coming to teach us how to relate with God. All the godly concepts are now poured into technology. Almost any car now new that you buy, there's a system that if you start going off the lane, it will push you back to the lane. 5 years ago, 10 years ago, it only beeped. If you remember now, it actually pushes you back. That's the name. You go off the path. What would be the result? If you go off the lane, you you're going to go through off the road completely. Shalom. So, the system pushes you back to the lane center. You That's it. That's a corrective measure. you do something wrong, wh you're getting pushed back. That's it. The definition is realign you with your spiritual purpose. Have you asked yourself lately if you are aligned with your spiritual purpose? You didn't ask yourself that. I know you didn't ask yourself that. I ask myself that all the time. Am I aligned with my spiritual purpose? It doesn't mean if I'm successful or not. It doesn't mean if it's hard or easy. Am I just aligned? 99% of people are not even aligned with their own with their own tikun. They're not even connected to the path of their spiritual purpose. That's most people. How do you see that? Total confusion in most people. And the ones that you see that there's no confusion, I'm not talking about spiritually in general, then either they're lucky, either they're extremely smart, or they're really aligned with their purpose. And that's also a very small amount of people. So let's focus about us right now. When was the last time you looked in the mirror and asked yourself if you are on the path of your purpose? Are you walking on the the right path? Maybe you're wasting your time here. Maybe you are, maybe you're not. But the fact is that Hashem won't allow you to be off your purpose. So what's going to happen when you go off the the track and you're not directed to your purpose? Then Hashem will push you back. That's these are the judgments. So you could look at it as something very negative. It is. But on the other hand, it's a system that helps you our luck that this week and especially on Thursday night on is the highlight of the entire year. First of all, you know, the first significant thing that happened is all the students of stopped dying. That's when it stopped. But more than that is the peak of the year of sweetening the judgments. Now one can come and say what yamipur is not. Noipur is atonement has nothing to do with yamipur. You're getting atonement for your sins. You're getting clean. You're getting forgiveness. It's a different department than denim. Same thing with shad the day of judgment. Yeah, but you're being judged. So, and I'm not going to get into that. Trust me, I I chew the material and then I give it to you. It's found in that lagba is the time of I mean there's many times of mukbim every Friday night. By the way, that's the reason why we do kouch. Actually, besides the the the simple explanation that we're thanking God for creating the world and but spiritually when you do kush on Friday night, you sweetening judgments. That's the way we do kush on Shabbat day or Shabbat night. And there's also rules for that. Certain hours of the day, you don't want to do kdush. It's usually 6:00 to 7 in the evening. It's quarter to 64,4 to 7 depends on the hour of the day. So there's also rules with that. The right thing is to do on red wine because dim are red. You're sweetening the dim. That's why we add a little bit of water to the cup of the kdush. But the fact is not to get too much in off this the subject. I believe there's even a class on my website that I taught from the about the concept of kdouch. But when we do kdoo on Friday night, it's it's a process of sweetening judgments. That's it. And I, you know, now that I'm thinking about I'm sure that there's a the class I remember giving a class explaining why the fingers have to be up. I I remember that class that's many times that you sweetening judgments. But tops them all. Why? Maybe we'll do another class about that. It's because I'll explain in a second in a very short version why. But it's because so we're lucky because in a few days you can get to a point that you sweeten your judgments that you created to yourself. Now the fact is I told you lag bom is the top but the entire week is a powerful week. I explained last week I loaded a class on YouTube. You should see it even if you haven't because even if it's about the class is about pes but it's applicable all year round and it's I also explain why this week is powerful the short version of the explanation is because pes has seven days after it and all those seven days are holy it's and after so is like the mirror of so has seven days after that are extremely holy then pes also has seven days after that are extremely powerful that's the simple explanation so we had on Monday till Sunday you have seven days of unbelievable opportunity which and and is the top is the peak of sweetening judgments so just know it starts from the 14th of and it goes to till this Sunday this Sunday at night what happens in this week the gates of heavens open. Now, I'm not going to get into the argument right now because a lot of people argue when I say today is a very aspicious day. And people come and say, "Well, no, every day is not an aspicious day." No, the answer is no. That's it. A lot of people, but every day is a special day. You're right. But there are some days that the gili that the revelation of Hashem is greater and that's it. We don't we don't set the tone. Hashem does that. Why he does that? That's another whole three weeks of a course. Why Hashem constantly changes his how he shines towards us. If he would be one, it would be boring to start with. But nevertheless, not to sidetrack this week. It's a time that Hashem is much more receptive. So that means that at every moment you have to do three things. One of them is called is to connect yourself to Hashem through prayer, through Torah, through acts of kindness, through fulfilling the mitzvah. You have to connect yourself to Hashem. Why? Because right now there's no there's no filters, there's no barriers. Next thing you need to do is thank Hashem all the time. And I'm talking about that you have to do all your life, but this week especially. And the last thing is so you have is to get connected is to thank and is to ask. That's it. Did I say right? First you do is to get connected. I told you how to then to thank and then to ask. Some say thank. I say ask thank 99% ask 1%. For what you need. You don't need to ask too much. I don't like that approach. A lot of people think they need to nag to Hashem. No, I also have some a few kids. I tell them since they're young, the more you ask, the less you get. I don't need this. Aba, aba sh I I heard the first time. So with me it works that the more you ask the less you will get. I heard it once it's on my list. I will do it. That's Hashem. You don't have to tell Hashem 50 times a day I need a husband. He knows your marital start status and he knows how much you want that husband or if you need that husband right now. And I'm looking at the ladies. It's the same thing. Hashem knows you need paraza. Hashem knows your your situation in your bank account. He has access to all the accounts. He knows what's going on in your life. So nagging all day long that doesn't going to get you anything. You want thank pray do anything. Why nag all for that? We have three times a day that you pray. That's when you ask short. That's it. My prayers are short. The the the preparation for the prayer is long. I was like on pester five hours of reading tim and also says this for a five minute prayer next to the kev that's it but how you bring yourself to the to the place of prayer not that I'm comparing myself in any way to mob did his preparation when it came to the that's it forward so in our life don't don't bother hashem too much with nonsense this week you want to get connected to hashem Thank Hashem in your way. You can read Torah, whatever you want and to ask your needs. Now, the thanking is corresponding to this. But when you're doing all that I just told you, you are preparing your vessels. Really, what you're doing is you're fixing your vessels. But I'll explain that in depth in a second. Why did I tell you before we have uh we're in luck? Because like I told you is equal has the ability to reveal very strong judgments. It has the capacity now. But what's the advantage? Very strong judgments that can be transformed into mercy. So you're taking something big and powerful and strong, you utilize it the right way, it will become mercy. So that's our advantage because if there would be little to transform into mercy, then will be little mercy. So you can kind of understand Hashem's approach here. It will start with strong denim which will come out as something harsh and negative. But if you do your tikun the right way that big huge ball of dim will transform into that amount of amount of mercy. So really we gaining here now why would be that Thursday on this Thursday is the top of the hamaka because is here is on and was able to to sweetening all the judgments that's the quality ofishimon now that we understand very little what is dim. Now we can understand learn in a very short uh version the spiritual system that I'm in that what's affecting me and how it's running my life because I'm I'm in a spiritual system that it works in a way that I need to get my shea my abundance from the world above. And this abundance is the blessing in my life because I'm I live my life without a blessing for for health. I'm weak, sick and so forth. Without blessing for my sustenance, I can't make money. So everything that comes to me I we call it a blessing. Not because see this is the difference between English and Hebrew. In English a blessing is when I bless you. Okay? In Hebrew, yes, is equal to the word blessing. But comes from the biblical word in the Mishna to bring something down to below. That's the biblical word. So when I say, yeah, I bless you, but really when I say, I bring something from above to below, which of course is the godly light that I bring into the world with my blessing. That's why we say Hashem. You can translate it as blessed. You are a god. But really, it's pulling you down into this world. That's why we say I'm pulling pulling you down. Whoa. You who's our god. Who's this god? The king of the entire world. Every word has a meaning here. So when I say I pull you Hashem into this world the echo will be who's hashem our god the king of the entire world right. So really the brah in my life when you're saying I need in my life you need the shea you need the energy your life force to come clearly and easily from the world above to the world below on you are all blessed with unbelievable abundance of health money whatever you need the problem is it stays up there a because you need three times a day to pray to bring it down and if you're a woman you also need to pray if you're married your husband adds up the other two prayers for you and if not woman is obligated in two players prayers a day and a woman is obligated in one prayer a day and I'm talking about and I know women somehow brush it over their head but you are just as obligated as me and any other man I'm obligated three times a day well commanded and you're commanded once or twice to do But nevertheless, that's how you bring the shea. Every one of the 18 blessings, I pull down whatever energy that is directed to whatever department. So I I pull energy for healing. I pull energy for sustenance, for that's why I don't need to tell Hashem too much of what's going on. I just need to do the act of bringing down the shea. If you're doing everything right, then the channel where this abundance, this sheffa, this energy comes down is clear. Like whether it's plumbing piping or whether it's a digital piping, if the piping is clogged, if it's plumbing for water or sewage, then the water won't go down because the plumbing is clogged. If it's anything else now also in technology if the the the the where the how is it called the bandwidth if the bandwidth of the cable is not big enough then the internet will start becoming slow it's everything something's wrong with the with the channel where you pass one thing from one side to another then it will slow things down that's it so you're complaining that life is bad and you can't make ends meet and this doesn't work and that doesn't work. You're complaining all day long. You don't understand that you you are causing the lack in your own life. Very simple. So let's let's explain very quickly how the whole system works. Okay? And I will title this section correcting and preparing your vessels the right way. is a rectification or to fix and is to prepare and kale is your vessels. Now there is a rule in the teachings of Kabala. Pay attention. I'll do it short but it's a little bit higher than regular information. The rule in Cabala is that the size of the light will be determined by the size of the vessel. Okay? Don't ask right now what's the light. the light. Let's call it now the Hashem's blessing because I can give you a piece of paper this big that in its size it's equal in its how it looks it's equal in all its qualities it's equal but what I write on that piece of paper changes the value of the piece of paper right and I'm talking about a check so I can give you a a present and I write a th000 so I gave you a nice present $1,000 checkles whatever Here it is. But if I write another zero, I just gave you 10,000. So my blessing, so to say, I it all depends on one little zero. One little zero and I gave you 10 times more the the the blessing. So Hashem gives you a bunch of blessings. You need to be able to hold this blessing because if I give you now a million dollar check, you now saying I'm a I'm a millionaire. I have a million dollar check. If you don't have a bank account, that check is worthless. You need to have a bank account, a vessel to collect the check in order to have the funds there. So the light that goes into the vessel depends on the vessel. If I have a car with three seats, how many people can I take with me? Three people. If I have a car with 10 seats, then I can take 10 people. It's very simple simple math. So the light will be determined by the size of the vessel. That's the rule you need to remember serving God. I'm sure you heard the term. Many people will say, "Oh, aem is doing and learning Torah and fulfilling all the commandments." You're right. You're not far from the truth. But the realm is is to fix your that's your course to is the way to do it path to do it. It gives you all the knowledge. But what is the definition of your service to Hashem? My fix your vessels and after you fix it, prepare them. Prepare the vessels. Why? because I can if I have a vessel then I there's a place where to put the abundance in the blessing. I can come now with a bottle of wine and offer you some wine here. If you don't put a cup out, I'm not going to give you the wine. And if I do, where will the wine go? Straight on the floor. Why would I spill good good expensive wine on the floor? Why would you want the wine to be on the floor? So, I'm interested in giving you, but you don't have a a vessel. You need a vessel. Somebody contacted me not too long ago and told me, "I want to give you a donation." Okay, thank you. How can I give you a donation? Cash, check, credit card, money wire. I gave you a list of 20 things. He says, "Can I give you a donation in Bitcoin?" I said, "Well, happens to be that I don't have a Bitcoin account, but I'll open one so you can give me that donation." So, I need a clip. He came to give me some light. So, I need a click. So, you have to open a digital wallet now. So, you can get that donation or that payment. I don't need to explain. If there's big vessels, what would be the result? You're you're saying big blessings, right? I knew you're going to say that. You all agree with her, right? No, big vessels doesn't mean mean a lot of blessings. Because what happens if you have a very big vessel? No, no shine. Big vessel with no light. What happens? Not only that the vessel has no lights, you empty the light. So, is a big vessel good? What is easier? Cleaning a one-bedroom apartment or 16bedroom mansion? Do you want a big vessel? Do you want a 16-bedroom mansion that you're not even using the that mansion? Why do you need a big vessel? You need a clean vessel. You need a vessel that is not broken. You don't need a big vessel per se. To handle a big vessel, you need a lot of light. Can you handle that light? Most likely not. So, don't go after big vessel. Big vessels are not always the good thing because if there's a big vessel with no light in it, there's a problem. That's going to be a broken vessel. This vessel will break. Now, some problems with a lot of people is that they have a vessel, they don't fill it up with light, they don't pray, they don't learn Torah, they don't do mitzvot, they don't give charity, they don't help, they don't nothing. Somehow they have a big vessel, but no light. There's a worse type of person than that that he pushes the light out of his own vessel with, of course, with sins and that would be severe sins. Imagine you have a vessel, you have light in it. You are pushing the light out. So first of all, and most important, don't be impressed by the size of the vessel. That's why I said big vessels are not always good. Who can handle a big vessel? A sadik. Great Torah scholars because they have that Torah to put in the vessel and that's why they're able to go to much higher levels. But we're not that people. Be very careful with your vessels. And like I told you and I'll remind you the definition of your service to Hashemat. Fix your vessels. Clean your vessels. And I'll explain clearly everything. Just bear with me. We're almost there. Now, what happens if you have a vessel and there's no light there? Because you sin, because you pushed the light out because you didn't do any action to pull light in. Then you have a lack. There's a deficiency. It's called something. There's a void. There's a void now somewhere in the universe because your actions. Now if a person has very big vessels but he doesn't know how to fill them then that becomes a broken vessel. Broken vessels that's all the disasters. And again we're not going to touch every definition in Kabala. Just follow with the concept. Now the rule the rule is judgments what I've been talking about now will be not only pulled but easily attached to a place of deficiency to a place of lack to a place of nothing. Now what does it mean easy to attach? Take now a magnet, put it on a piece of metal, it's attached. Put it now on a piece of wood, falls on the floor. Put it on stone, falls on the floor. Put it on glass, falls on the floor. Put it on any material, it falls on the floor. on the metal that's what happens to dine has the nature to get stuck to where is a place of that I didn't do something there's a lack there's a void there's an emptiness so remember the the the the rule the will be attached or will easily be drawn into a place of that's why our sages say us don't fall into depression and sadness get yourself up because When you're falling into depression and sadness, that's one way of an empty vessel and this emptiness pulls the you have to understand that the kipot get attached on the because that's how they get attached to you. So when I'm saying the denim will be the drawn to you with the with the and when I'm sad or broken then I have a place of deficiency of a lack then I invite it on me. Now there's another problem. A lot of people and that can happen to observant people. They have a big vessels. They learn a lot of Torah. They do a lot of mitzvah. They're working on their vessels. Their aodm is very, very great. But at the same time, they also do sins. They talk a little bit. It's okay. It's only in front of 5,000 people. It's not that bad. And they may be not so honest in business or maybe they're not honest to their spouse or they're doing something behind somebody's back. Listen, I don't buy the beards and the yam. I mean, it's very nice, [Music] but looks inside your heart. You think he's impressed by your you covering your hair or you're wearing a dress. You know how many frauds they are. I mean, purim is every day in this world. So, there are people that look outside very pious. The inside is dirty as I don't know what. And people on the outside look not even connected to Hashem. Pure, happy, loving, forgiving, patient, courteous, charitable. So don't judge the book by its cover. I mean that's a long that's behind us. So what I'm saying is a lot of people are observant but they have a weakness. That's by the way everybody. Not I I am I'm being nice by saying a lot. Everybody has a weakness. You're not a sadic. Neither one here is a sadic. You can pretend to me that you're righteous. But I know that you're not because I'm also not a sadic. Some people say you're I'm not even close to a sadic. I'm a human being like you. Therefore, I know that you have the same level of like me. So, we're all in the same We're all in the same boat. We love Hashem. We're trying to do good. But at the end of the day, we don't get it 100% right. Now, some are in a very high place cuz they don't let themselves at least get dirty with nonsense. But unfortunately, in our time and probably all times, there are people who are Torah observant, but they sin a lot. A lot. This is called you're pulling the wrong light. You have a huge vessel, but you're pulling the wrong light into the vessel. That's already a whole different problem. Now, when a person does something like that, basically you you let me explain to you how that works that you'll be more upset after hearing this class. Every time that you pleasure something in this world, but not in the right way, then that's pulling light in the wrong way. And I'll give you an example. The first mitzvah in the Torah is for me to procreate with the with my wife. So when I pleasure marital relations with my wife, go ahead, enjoy it as much as you want. Do the mitzvah. The second you enjoy it, not with your wife, same pleasure. Wrong place where the kadusha went to. That's it. Am I allowed to eat ice cream? Yeah. There's no place in that tells me not to eat ice cream on Shabbat. Eating the ice cream is a mitzvah during the week. It's not a mitzvah. And not only that, if I'm not doing it the sham, then I enjoyed the ice cream in not in the right way. That will also do the same thing but this big. That's why our sages says don't try don't enjoy much things in this world. You're going to pay for that. There's going to be a bill for that. If you enjoy food, you enjoy you know whatever you enjoy in this world. My loophole is because you're not you're not advised to enjoy things in this world. A it puts a spiritual dirt on your soul that eventually will have to be removed. It's called means hitting. The soul goes down to the grave. They hit the salt to get all the junk out like they used to hit rugs 100 years ago. My grandmother used to do that. But if you enjoy things that are forbidden, then that's how you p bring down the wrong light. That's it. Now, what happens in a situation like this? It's hard to fathom, but it's called the shape of the vessel changes and then the light can't stay there anymore. That's I'm cababalistically I'm explaining what happens. So when you pull the wrong light to the to your vessel by enjoying something forbiddingly or in a way that is not permissible then the sh the the cle shifts the the the shape and the light doesn't fit there anymore. It's not like water in a cup that hypothetically if you would expand and narrow down the cup the water will adjust itself. That's just for us to understand. That's not how it works in the spiritual. The cle is one shape. You put you try to put something in the cle that doesn't fit. It won't fit. Like the game for 9 months babies that you have a circle and a square and a uh uh how do you call it? A triangle and this and they have to put it in the right. That's that's the same idea with the kilim. Now, now that you understand that when I do these actions and the light disappears, what what would be the result? Now, there's a void. There's a kalal there's an empty space. So, one small moment of pleasure causes this emptiness that goes and grows and grows and grows. And then eventually there's no real joy. Most people they might be pretending to be happy. Most people that I meet, they don't have real true happiness. Very few I look at them and I see that doesn't matter how bad life is, they don't need to smile. You see the spark in the eye. That's it. Most people, sorry to say that, are not happy people. They're not happy with their anything. Not with her spouse, not with her financial situation, not with her neighbors and that neighbor is more successful and he has a BMW and she's more beautiful and she has that new bag and I don't have money to pay my bills. Most people are miserable and I gave you one example now in 30 seconds out of 5 million examples. Most people are miserable. It starts with jealousy and many other things. I don't want to go off the path of what I'm focusing on. But the fact is that a little small moment of pleasure, it's called pleasure of a moment, it will bring you emptiness. And this emptiness will just go and grow. And that's equal no joy, no happiness, no true happiness in your life. Now let's go back to dim to judgments. The definition of a judge of judgments. I want to summarize that. I'll say it in Hebrew then I'll try to translate. What is the name? A grasp, a a hold of negative energy, a negative force that is preventing from the light to come into your vessel. I'll say it again. The denim is a a negative force that is holding on the vessel and the whatever even could be the channel to the vessel and preventing the light from coming in. So I'll give you an example. It happened to me a few years ago that we you know we pay here the city tax every two months. Arona we love paying this tax. They do wonderful things with our money. Uh, I saw a brand new Mercedes next to the city hall. They're investing our money in very good things like education, infrastructure, and much more. Doing great with our money. But nevertheless, doing nothing with our money. Barely even taking the garbage out. But anyways, we still pay a lot of money every month. Arona. But nevertheless, why am I saying that? I have it on automatic payment. One time credit card expired. It didn't charge the card. Boom. didn't didn't charge the monthly payment. Whatever happens doesn't matter. The I didn't know. Um a year or two passed. They marked it as I didn't pay one month. What did they do? Blocked my account. Forget about the interest. They put like a seize on the account. I'm coming to use the account. Your account is blocked. I go to the bank. What do you mean the account is blocked? Just money. Everything's fine. They're telling me, "No, the city put a How do you say seize?" How do you say uh they seize your account, you can't do nothing. They can put in the account, can take out of the account. They they choke you like this. And of course, I go to the office. Why you block my account? You didn't pay two years ago. You couldn't call. Oh, we sent you letters. Oh, yeah. Go and count now on the fat mailing system. Haven't you heard about an email? Whatever it is, why am I saying that? Is that some authorities in the world in any company can seize your account? Put the money on your account. You can't do nothing. Nothing goes in. Nothing goes out. That's nothing goes in, nothing goes out. The din is a is is attached. I sinned with my hand right now. the deen will go on my hand then shalom it can come in a result of physical pains and aches and whatever infections and it will start manifesting into the body and many other ways but the deen is a I I I shouldn't even say but it's like a cancer it gets attached and doesn't you know it doesn't let the light come in so you can pray for your parnas nothing dead no money coming in why too much judgments and I'm giving you example with parasites with everything your health your relationships with people you like or don't like your place of work your place of it's everything your physical health your physical mood everything is based on where how much denim very simple now that you know all the definition let's go now to the Next step in case you haven't notice we are in exile now we you ask somebody what's for you exile so they'll say mashia is not here we don't have beta mikdash we have 120 clowns running the show here and we're in exile some people will say I think Jews who live anywhere but Israel they're in a harder exile because they think they're fine where they are and they think they're good where they are and they're actually missing on so many different things besides the fact that Rambam says it's a mitzvah to live here. But nevertheless, I think it's an a sort of an exile when you're far away from your own land. The reality is everything that I just explained to you in the last hour, that's exile. That's called galut. You're not in your place. You're not in the space where you need to be. Now, we are in a very severe exile right now. I'm not complaining. I'm actually fine with that because it's the moments before the birth of Mashiach. It was predicted. It has to come. Nobody promised us that it will be smooth. Bring it on. Bring it on. I want Mashiach to come. And I know it's going to come with some turbulence. So, so put your seat belts on and hold your seat and that's it. and ignore everything that's going on in the world and focused on yodatem. That's what you need to do. That's my entire that's my entire recommendation for you to do. But nevertheless, we are in an exile and we have to understand a very important point in the concept that is called galuta exile and redemption. Now I'm talking right now the the exile of the entire world of the entire mankind. The entire world is in exile. Jew, non-Jews, we're all alike. When Mashiach is going to come, he's going to be the king of the entire world, not just of the Jews. When Beta Mikdash is going to be built, it's going to be for the entire world, not just for the Jews. Many things are going to change when Mashiach is going to come. But till then, we're in a very, very bad place. Everything that I'm explaining to you now, I'm talking about the exile that we are experiencing in the world. But later on just take the exact same thing carbon copy and that's your personal life your own personal exile in the redemption. There are two uh parts two levels. The first is called pekida and the second is called pekida means to command to order. Where did we hear the first time this concept with Yseph will be the day? I mean the translation in the Torah it says surely Hashem will remember you. I know where they're coming up with all these translations is to command but nevertheless it will come the time of the redemption. Hashem will command you is also to come. Nevertheless, that's the first time we heard it. So the first level of the redemption is the second one is to remember. Now the first part peeka Hashem gets attached to the nation of Israel and he starts a certain action of redemption a certain process that's zak for this explanation is when we actually go out of exile that didn't happen yet but it happens to certain individuals you know that some people they already in the level of I'm talking now here not here in the room in in in our generation there are some people that the raod is in such a high level they're already in the level of of they they don't live in they don't see the exile like the said 30 40 years ago open your eyes the redemption you just need to open your eyes so if you live your life in a certain way you you're already after the pikida and I know people like that they live in the world they attach to the world in any in all the ways but they're living in a level of gula very few but the the second level of the redemption that's going out of exile if the nation of Israel is ready and receptive at the time of the pa then everything will be fine But if the nation of Israel is not ready at the time of pikida then we're starting with very hard times and these hard times are called Mashiach. You heard that term many times like a woman giving birth. I can't even imagine even though I was present at seven births of my children. I can't imagine the pain what a woman is going through. screaming in their that's if we're not ready for the change that Hashem started the then starts hard times and these hard times are defined as Mashiach and these hard times basically what it means a lot of suffering a lot of problems as you can well see in front of your eyes so mash equals problems I don't need to elaborate Right? You see it in front of your eyes. And right now, by the way, I'm talking globally. I'm talking about the gula, the redemption, and the exile for the entire world, for the entire mankind, all as one. So obviously the entire world is under the same umbrella. Now very important that you understand these are not punishments. What you see some of the things might be a punishment. Hashem now is going to close the accounts with every person, every nation, every leader, everything. Now, Hashem is paying the bills. So, a lot of what you see is punishments for other individuals and stuff like that. But what I'm talking about Mashiach, it's not a punishment, which means that I can be a good individual. I sin this much. I go by the book. I'm a good fearing God-fearing Jew. Okay? I'm not saying, but I'm a very good individual. I can still experience the difference will be a thousand will fall for one side and 10,000 on the other side. Nothing will go to you. 500 people will be in a field. 3,000 crazy terrorists are shooting at everybody. Some get killed, some don't. They were there. We're all affected by Mashiach. The economy in the world is bad. Some people are affected. Some people are actually making money now. I know a lot of people who are making money now. When the markets go down, that's where you make money. Do you see what's going on with gold? So, you know, every every line that goes both directions, you can go from above to below, but also from below to above. Everything is two ways. So right now we have a lot of Mashiach and that's its problems and like I told you this is not punishments. So what's the purpose of that? To prepare us to align us back. Hashem wants to bring the gura. Ask yourself every day am I ready for Mashiach to come? Today Mashiach is coming. Are you ready? Ask yourself today Mashiach is coming. The same way how we saw in the last five years, Corona suddenly takes off the entire world. Wars October 7, every every couple days a new surprise. What's what's stopping the a big epic event tomorrow Mashiach is coming? Are you ready for that? You think you are you're you're good to stand in front of Mashiach? No. I'm already telling you no. Very few people will be able to stand next to Mashia. The dog says only 700 people will be able to stand next to him in the beginning. So ask yourself that question. The same way that we woke up one day in the middle of our life 20 plus years ago with the falling of the twin towers. You know, you tell it now to a childh. It's a building that fell. We I lived in New York. That was America changed that. I remember that day so well. I remember what I wore. I remember what I ate. I remember where I was. I remember so much that day I remember I was with my friend told him you'll see that's it. This is the day everything has shifted and sure enough that's what happened. So we already ready it's already 20 years happening then we had corona 5 years ago. Boom. Nobody prepared for that. No one was prepared for no one in their right mind was a even thinking of something in that measure and many others. So what's stopping the next event from happening? It will happen and it will happen a lot. Is Hashem punishing me? No. So what is all these to prepare you to align you back? Allah you're completely off the off your focus. Now everything that I'm telling you now I'm talking about the general redemption. We're going to center it to your life. It's exactly the same thing in your life. Now the redemption can come in two ways. One way is called what does that mean? You go out of your own kipa and you live with the creator. That's it. You break the kipa and you live devoted to the master of the universe. You know what happens when you do that for you? I'm talking now now it's this is your life right now as uh uh man kind as a human race listen we're trying for 20 years to get a little bit of appreciation and some tolerance between two Jews bringing all them together only Mashia will be able to do that trust me we're trying for 20 years to do all everything that we can me and many others not so easy to get everybody to like each other to appreciate each other and that's going to cause big thing I'm say it's going to cause but it's Hashem is going to have to use big big events for us to get that but when it comes to my private life now ignore now the general galut exile let's look at my life right now and I want to know if I'm in exile I'm not in exile I'm preparing for the redemption I'm prepared if a person goes in the path of Torah but the real path of Torah he has no issues He won't feel you'll see bombs falling everywhere. But you will be safe in wherever you live. You're not going to feel that money will be fine. Health will be great. Every your life will be fine. Why? Because you walking with the creator. The second way how to bring forth the redemption. The first one I told you is the path of Torah. The second one is simple. It's one word. That's it. Hardship, suffering. You're going to suffer. That's it. If you don't go in the path of the Torah, only can break the kipah. That's it. And that's going to come through hitting. Hashem tells you either you break your own kipa. I know it's not easy, but you do it and live with your creator. I'm telling you, you won't be affected by what's going on in the world about Mashiach. And trust me, what you're seeing up until now, it's not even the not even the warm-up. I've been saying that for years because I'm hoping to build people's mind what they're going to be able to fathom. If in mit the sea split and the sky opened and many other things, who says it's not going to happen to us when Mashia comes? It says in the Torah, what you saw going out of it time is nothing compared to what I'm going to show you when Mashiah is going to come. So there for them the sea split. What what are we going to see? What are we going to see? Are you going to be able to handle that? I'm not talking about thou the exposure of all the deception in the last 500 years that people just by that are going to lose their mind jump off buildings realizing the lie they were told and lived all their life. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the revelation of of Mashiach. I'm not talking about revelation of Hashem. We are expecting the the the return of Hashem's revelation. That's way beyond messiah. So Hashem is preparing everybody. That's why is not a punishment. It's to put you back on your path. So like I said, if you're walking in the path of Torah, you have nothing to worry about. But if you're not walking in the path of Torah, the only way to break the kipa, which is mean means a husk, is to break it. Then you're going to have to go through hardship. You're going to have a lot of problems. Hashem is going to break you till you get it. And a lot of times you say, "I got it." A, you didn't. Or too late, my friend. Oh, now you got it. Now, oh, for 20 years you didn't get. Now you got it. When there's a little bit of pressure, it doesn't work like that. Now, the worst of all this, I know so many people that that's what happens to them in their life. problems day after the other and instead of doing chuva and strengthening themselves they go completely against they get they they get upset at Hashem they they reject Hashem why is Hashem doing this to me and they go completely opposite there is no options but we have to go through both of the options that I just said the We have to go through this. Now when I mentioned there are three in history that they set the time of pa like now I told you I'm leaving on a tour in in two months. I am leaving for two months. My entire family is coming, but I'm coming a week before a cuz I need to focus on certain things. I'm coming to prepare everything. Threeim prepared for us the time of pa. The first one that we are aware of and I'm not I'm not going in order is Mosher Rabenu. What was the first thing that Mosha Rabenu did when he started the redemption process? He went down to Mit. He went from his place of he he had he was fine. He was the only Jew not in Mit. You're going down to Mit. That's part of the pikida. So Moshe had to go down to Mit physically, spiritually, and so forth. The next one was Jacob Ainu who did the exact same thing and he went down to Karan. Jakov lived in Isel. He ran away and he went down to Karan. The third one of course is Rabishim who ran from the Romans because they wanted to kill him into the uh cave. Now each and every one of these three always ran ran into a cave. Also we also know that Abraov when they wanted to kill him went to a cave. A cave is not necessarily a hole in the wall. It's a cabalistic concept where the sit cannot come in which means it's a very high lofty place. Don't think he sat on some in some cave on a stone and it was very how do you call it moldy you know he was in he he didn't smell mold the cave is a cabalistic concept where one can go in and the cannot come in there now what happens is that once the sadik goes out of the me he's so powerful that he can control the sit wherever he is. So Mosher Rabenu Jacob and Raishimai were in that level of going down. What's the what's the concept of running? Why did Mosher Rabenu had to run away from Mitsime and run to Mits and Yakov ran away from Asav the action when the Sadi runs he pulls the after him like a diversion like imagine now there's a group of people here and somebody wants to kill them somebody here does a diversion and he starts running and they run after him that's what the saddic does he pulls the after him causes a diversion from the to go after the saddic He goes out of the level of cave. He's much more powerful than the and he sub subdues the short version of what's going on. So did that for us for now time for the time of the gula. It says the first thing in the in the in the book of the with this book they're going to go out of the exile with mercy. So prepared it. Sorry, Jacob know prepared the peda because we were in exile in Kan. We don't look at it as exile but it was a 20 plus year holocaust for Jacob. You know what Lavan did to him. But you're going only by what it says in the Torah. I can imagine what what he did to him and and for him was a mamash holocaust. So Jacob ran out of grabbed the wife and kids. He didn't even say goodbye to to Lavan. That's where you see the level of what he had to deal with. So, and same thing, he ran away from the Romans who wanted to kill him for trashing them and he didn't even trash. He just said the truth. That's what happened to Rabishimon. The Romans were in power and also Sabbis were what do you say? They were like like in Soviet Union, Mama Russia, the best country, the best government. How do you call it? Whatever. So, there were big rabbis who were doing that to the Roman Empire and to the Roman, oh, look at all the praising. Look at our government. Look at the h the bridges they're building us and the and Raishim says, "What are you talking about? All that they're doing is for their own glory. You think they're doing anything for you? And now he got death penalty for that. So the concept when the sadic runs away to the is to pull the after him and then to subdue it. The the this motion of the saddic running is basically the diversion of controlling the the kipah. Soishim Mosher Rabenu did it with Jacob did it in look at the irony here did it with the Romans. Romans is adome. Now we're also controlled by Adam. But nevertheless prepared it for the hour time. The time of the pikida is prepared by and that's with the so and in two words so we can conclude what is really so significant about the zor and why is the one chosen. There's the written Torah. There's the oral Torah. But there's another type of Torah. It's called Torah, the secret part of the Torah, the esoteric part that was revealed by Rabishim. Why? Because he's a spark of Mosherenu. Of course, comes a lot of questions. There are other books of Cababala more ancient than the Zohar and many others. Why are you telling me exposed it? Well, first of all, whenish brought down the Z for hundreds of years, nobody found it. Nobody knew it. There was very a few copies by a few people and that was the only ones who knew the Kabala. Now what happened is there was a certain individual in Europe who had he was a cabalist and he had a version of Zohar and one time he died when he sleeped and when his wife came and found the sephil of the zar she thought he wrote it and many people think that the zar was written by him but he was just a cabalist that learned the zar and the book was hidden. Nobody knew. There was a few versions of it. That's it. Version the main copies. Soon was the one who revealed the Torah of Cababal of the Now, the thing is that the let me explain very very simple in toat in toat like I told you there's the written Torah, there's the oral Torah and there's the secret Torah toat the reveal the the esoteric part of the Torah. Data the re the not revealed Torah is divided into two sections uh a higher level and a lower level. The lower level you are familiar with what is called the seven and how are they called? It's called reasons. The seventh spir of the teachings of kabala is to reveal the all the reasons for all the mitzvot. Why you put fill in? Why seven times? Why black? Why you do slaughter the animal like this? Why you have to observe the the land like that. All the laws that we follow the lower part of cababala will come to explain to you the reason why you do it. Everything has a reason. You don't do something that nobody invented anything. That's the lower level of the teachings of Cababala. The higher level which called Elonot nobody knows. There are very few people who know it and not because they wanted to learn and they sat down and invested. It's because they reached to the level. If you don't reach to that level, you you cannot be told this this Torah. A it will damage you. B you won't understand nothing first of all you won't understand nothing but in order to reach to that level I mean you have to be in a very high level and then you are so to say invited to that realm and I'm talking about great great sadikim in that level but just that you know we're relating with the we're not relating to the mo that's not in our level that's the that's the real and when people tell you they learn kabala they don't learn kabala they learn concepts of cababala from the part that is called from the seven spir anyone who tells you different send them home okay there's a very few people who learning that level of kabala and like I'm telling you I'm reiterating it because now it's becoming more popular people who learn kabala or tell you they learn or teach cabala they're teaching you or learning concepts of kabala and specifically from the lower realm which called ton Raishimai what's spe so much special about him that he was able to reach all 125 levels of the soul which I explained to you in our course of shahulim that we have 5* 5* 5 five levels of the nephesh times five levels of the five five levels of the 125 levels that we need to climbish mastered all 125 so he can relate with every individual you go tomorrow toon on one sand will be the most holy rabbi in the world and next to him a guy with earrings in his nose and flip-flops doesn't even know how to read Hebrew says that's the the what you see in Rabishim everybody loves Rabishimon I've been a few days ago in Rabi in he didn't get that there was thousands there the place was packed not even a fraction of what you get in Meon who gets what comes to me Rabishimon and it's not because anything but the fact that anyone can relate with Rabishimon because that's how he prepared it. Rabishimon prepared the ground that a he can re anyone can relate with him he can relate with anyone and he prepared the ground. So the problem is that in order for us just to conclude because we're talking about a lot of concepts and I want to put them all together. I'll tell you what's the problem right now in our situation. There's there's a there's there's a problem. There's a tardma uh tardma in Hebrew. How would you say it in English? Dorcy. Dorcy. Dorcy. That's how you say it. I never heard the word. You know, interesting. It's called dermita. In Aramaic, it's dita. It's a And in English, how? Dor. Dorcy. Dorcy. Unbelievable. Okay. But nevertheless, that's how it's called. It's a place. It's like when it's not a regular sleep. It's you sleep. You can't wake the person up. We just celebrated Purim and saying just celebrated Purim is like already two months back. But it seems like it was yesterday in in the we learned that where it says there is one nation scattered all over the the world. So I explained that the says don't read it. There is one nation. Remove the amad. Take the yesh. It's vav. What's sleeping? That's what it is explains in the in the still. That's saying in other words that there's a some there's dita from who? Who's who sleeping? like at the time of the at the time of Purim. Now when Hashem is sleeping and we had many times that Hashem was sleeping what's the result? There's no supervision by Hashem. What's the result of that? All sorts of start coming and we see that with our own eyes. There's a Hitler comes there's tardem is sleeping October 7 kamasah Iran we had these hamanim for the last 3,000 years so every time that hashem so to say goes into this deep sleep which we already explained that it's us then all these hamanim starting to come all these Hitlers and we see that with our own eyes and if you see it with our own eyes just with in our generation I'm not talking Now uh uh 80 years ago in the Holocaust I'm talking now how many Hamanima coming after you doesn't matter where you are in Israel we have enough in America too much Europe it's it's a so we have a problem the problem is that everything that's going on in the world in the level of everyone take that now into your own private life And you'll see it's everything in your private life. And that's really what I wanted to focus on. We're looking now the the problems of the entire world. Solve your problems first before you're going after the entire world. Don't look in the entire world. Everybody has what to say. Trump is doing this. BB is doing that. Are you his advisor? You're sitting with BB and telling him what to do. Do you know how many advisers he has? You know how many times he does a because he's being told. Not that I have any much respect for BB. I don't think I'm a BB guy or Trump or any. I don't go with any politician. I vote for Mashia. I don't care about the rest of the people. One might be better than the other. But you think they really operate what they want. You It's very easy to pull criticism. Look at your own life before you now complaining on the entire world. So let's now take the entire exile, the entire world. Put it aside. Put it on hold. Let's focus on your life for a few minutes. Everything that I just said in the last half an hour about exile, that's your life. That's your life. You are the one in exile. You are the one who is behaving and misconducting yourself in such a way that you are preventing from the light to come to you. And then you complain to all directions. And the biggest complaint goes to Hashem. Why are you doing this to me? I'm doing something to you. I'm not doing nothing to you. You're doing it to yourself. So they say talk is cheap. What's the solution? Talk. I can talk now for another two hours. We need solutions. You got the point. I hope you got the point. Shirim, one of the most powerful texts that we have, the Song of Songs written by Schlommo. Go to chapter 2 verse 9. It says uh translation. I don't like the translation because it says Hashem resembles a gazelle is not a gazelle is a deer. I don't know sometimes the translations where they come from but nevertheless it's talking about avi is a deer. A deer has a very interesting uh uh thing that he does two things. When the deer runs away, if you now scare the deer, he runs away. You know what he does all the time? He constantly looks back. Runs, runs, run, looks back, run, run, run, looks back. Look at it. Any other animal, they don't do it. the deer will look back says Hashem resembles a deer because when even though he's getting further and further away from us because of our actions, he always looks back. Hashem constantly looks back. Doesn't matter how far he is from us. And another thing is that a deer sleeps with one eye open. So I'm assuming a scared animal whatever sleeps with one one eye open. Hashem might be sleeping. I told you this is sleeping but Hashem sleeps with one eye open. If you read the continuation of this verse that Hashem looks like a deer. He is standing behind our wall looking from the windows. Look at the Hashem might be pretending that he's sleeping. One eyes open. Hem doesn't sleep. Chapter 121 4. The guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. So you're telling me there's a Yeah. Shem is sleeping with one eye open. It's like a deer constantly looking back. I can relate so much. I'm sure you had it hopefully with one of your children that the child doesn't listen to you. And what does the parent do? Okay, I'm going. And you start going cuz it's time to leave the playground. and you pretend you're going and the child is like in the beginning he doesn't buy that but you walk and you walk and you eventually the child is my mom is running and he runs after you. So it says in the Torah, the nation of Israel, tell to Hashem, even if we're sinning and we're pushing you away, please don't ever stop looking back. So doesn't matter how much you push Hashem with your ridiculous behavior, Hashem, he's there. He's looking. He's waiting for you to do. He's waiting for you to go back on your path. But you have to understand that there's two ways how to run the show. Hashem is always with us. Hashem wants you to do chuva. Hashem wants you to reach to your tikun. Not that's why he brought you to this world. If he wanted to punish you, he would throw you to go to hell. He brought you to this world so he he can help you fix yourself that you can reach to a place of tikun. He's not going to let you go. You don't understand that. That's why sometimes I look at people I'm like what don't you let what don't you see here certain individual like walking headtohead into a wall no parasa no livelihood 10 years you know how many people I talk to every day rabbi give me a give me a blessing no parasa you stupid man instead of running for aba and spending the little money that you have left on nonsense through going to fake rabbis to give you a fake blessing stop lying be faithful to your wife. You're looking at other women and you think you're gonna have an assa why why are you trying to go from you're slandering a s person all day long you're causing sorrow to another person then you wonder why your teeth are falling out and all day long you're in dentists or doctors who are you kidding when things go bad in your life if you look at everybody around you wow the exile you are ine I don't think I can take you out of such an exile when things go not good in my life right away I stop my life on the spot and the only direction I'm looking at is myself where did I go wrong what did I do wrong where did I fail maybe I'm not doing enough maybe I am the problem I never look at the at the situation why is Hashem not giving me pan I have problems with banana. I look at myself. Are you guarding your eyes? Are you guarding your mouth? Are you giving? Are you paying? Are you doing what the Torah tells you? Do what the Torah tells you. Nothing will happen to you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Do what the Torah tells you with no excuses. You'll see life is smooth. And when life is a little bit bumpy, it's good. That's the rhythm of life. When the line is flat, it's that means dead. So there are two ways to do the the job that you need to be done. Hashem won't let you go. Hashem, if Hashem lets go, Hashem then that's a situation is bad. And I saw some people that it looks like Hashem totally let go. Leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you. You're going to have to do cha yourself. But the fact is you have to fix your position in the world. What you damage, what you need to do. Hashem won't let you. He will make sure that you're doing it. So there are only two ways to do it. The first way is called shamine. I don't recommend that way. I know it sounds fancy. Shamine. Shamine means the heavens. Hashem is also called shamine. That's option number one. And I'm saying option number one because most people choose that option. And I don't recommend that option. Option number two is called shama. Now it sounds completely opposite. It sounds shaming is the fancy way is not. Then I'll tell you it's the complete opposite. The second option is called aritz is that you humiliate yourself to a place that you take responsibility for your actions and you do what you've been told and that will shorten the process from this to this. That's it. I'll repeat it for the ones who didn't quite get the message. You just do what you've been told. Bring yourself to a place of humility. Yesterday I spoke with somebody. I told him the key to your problem is humility. Who do you think you are? And even if you're not so great, so what? I achieved great things in my life. You think I take credit for that? Because Hashem did that. Hashem allowed that. And so what if I'm that great? It's all about h how you know how to uh humble yourself in many different ways and we're not going to elaborate on how you humble yourself right now. But if you humble yourself and you understand that there's something above you that runs the show and you just need to follow orders, do it with a smile on your face, I guarantee to you, you will shorten the distance like that. Your tikun is going to be like that. Life will be swift and easy. And then on the way you collect as millions of bonuses. But if you choose path number one shamim that means that you don't do nothing from yourself and from shamim from the heavens they make you do everything and they will bend you. Now you want to choose that go ahead. That's what most people choose that they think they can control the situation and shamine they say no now if I'm supposed to now receive 100 kilograms of suffering because I told you that many times on rash shah you're not only blessed with how much money you're going to make or who you're going to marry and how many kids you're going to have you know what you also blessed on rash shah and I taught that a dozen times how many sufferings you're going to have that year what are going to be your nissote your challenges of the year that is all decided on so if it's decided on then I have to have 100 kilograms of nissote of challenges or and suffering because that's what Hashem wants because to keep me on my toes and to remove previous sins etc etc I can redeem these suffering with other things I don't have to go through the suffering. I will add another hour a day of learning Torah. I will suffer on the Torah. That's how it's called. That you want to go and see now a Netflix show. You push that Netflix show and you learn something hard. You don't sit in a lecture and the rabbi feeds you the Torah. You learn the Torah. You bring on yourself the then you're taking off what you owe. You can wake up at 11:00 or you can wake up at 4 in the morning. You can go to the mikvah down the street where they heat the water and you ah or you go to the mikvah on the other side of the street which is one degree from freezing point and to go into the mikra at 4:00 in the morning in the winter when the water is like almost freezing like this. Then you bring on yourself some you remove the ones that that are waiting for you. So there's only two ways to get to the point. There's a there's an origin. There's a destination. You choose how you get to the destin. You will get to the destination. By the way, how all beaten up or happy? So it all depends on you. You take option number two. you're short in the way. Option number one, then deal with it. So with that said, to conclude, I do believe that I'm not exaggerating when I know that most people have a lot of challenges in their life. There's a fraction of people they they they don't get impressed by the challenges. They just uh in Hebrew we call it like you go on a on a on a book you go like this one page after the other flipping the pages. Okay. Most people don't most people they they they they sink into the sorrow of their own problems and then they bring more problems and some when I listen to people I'm like how do you conduct your I don't understand what's going on here. And trust me I have a I have a busy life. I have a lot of challenges. Let's call item. I'm not complaining. Shem gives me three balls to juggle. Then he obviously thinks that I can juggle three balls. And when he throws in another three balls, then obviously he thinks I can juggle six balls. Now, do I have an option of now not juggling? No, I have to juggle them because they're going to be on the floor. So, do what you need to do and shut up. But the fact is each one in their way you you may feel that life is closing down on you that there's certain aspects in your life that there's no blessings. Now if anything that I'm saying doesn't relate to you that's not the class for you. I know many people that will come and tell me listen Rabbi I'm not kidding anyone life is you know but I'm happy I have a good spouse I have good kids our health is fine we have a good attitude that's that's really how it should be thanking for what you have not seeing what you don't have it's very easy to see in my life what I don't have but it's much harder and smarter and effective to see what I do have when you focus focusing on what you have then you don't focusing on what you don't have. That's why I told you in the beginning what causes all these barriers your behavior and a very large amount is your attitude. Half your problems disappear when your attitude changes. So we're not going to focus now how to do this. This we might have to do in another class. But what I'm saying is fact is many times many people reach to a place in their life that they feel some spiritual organ is dead. It's not working. Can't find my other half. Can't make money. Can't educate my kids to love the Torah. That neighbor bothers me all day long. This person is suing me. So many different issues. And like I told you before, a lot of it is your actions. Why? Because we explained and as you create that void, the deen will come on that void. You invite the dem on you. So the judgments will be all these sufferings. That's it. It's very simple math here. What is left right now is the you choose which option. The option is to go walk in the path of the Torah. Of course, no question here. And to do it right way and I'm guaranteeing to you, you'll see much less issues in your life and life. It's like a you know when you the tap the other day they fixed the water here in the city. They didn't open the water. I don't know what they did for two days. The water was like where's the water? you know five and a half minutes to fill a cup there wasn't any pressure all it takes is you know open the open a little bit more water will come nothing and there's no shepher coming into your life reverse engineer it's very simple so I gave enough explanations and enough guidance what to do there's not there's there's not much the to the whole Torah here is you can stand on one leg you just need to do the advantage finish there. We want to add on that that this week you have the opportunity of of sweetening the judgments, not to bring new judgments. Hopefully, you got the point. But to this week, you can sweeten the judgments. And that means you shorten the way. Excuse me. You shorten the way. Unbelievable. Instead of three days, three hours. And uh when exactly is the peak is this coming Thursday night. I have other classes online that I explain very in depth about there's no point of repeating the point right now is to understand where I'm holding and to take the advantage that I can sweeten judgments. Now what do you need to do on lagba? Not a lot. It's not a holiday that you need to now fast or pray for hours or what. It's a kind of I don't want to say regular day, but it's kind of like a regular day. It's not doesn't have any of the values of ayto or anything. I mean has unbelievable. I'm saying that in the that just that you understand it's not like a but in regards to the godly light that is shining on don't discount that for a second. The light that's going on. Thank you. On on [Music] So there's a lot to do. A if you can go to the that's in on I've explained that the sadic the the the grave it's not really called a grave. It's called a a mark. Wherever the body is, that's the mark. And from that mark, there's a like a pipe where the soul of the sadi goes up from the world above to the world below. So for that's his elevator to the higher world. That's where his soul go comes into the world there in. And if it's over there at whatever sadic where they are and the sadic chooses where to be buried. If you go to the grave, why do we go to graves? We don't pray to the sadik. We pray to Hashem. But the reason why we go to the grave is because the nephesh of the sadik is there. The nephesh all year round. You go to the nephesh of is there. So if you learn to there you get connected. It's can you imagine the how you're being affected by the spiritual light. You don't go to pray to the tadic. You pray to hashem. You learn to hashem. Are you there? Now one can say what's the big deal? I can't pray anywhere. Okay, let's say now h the king is giving a how do you call it? Uh speech once a year the king comes out to give a speech. Everybody comes to here. You can hear it live on YouTube. But don't you want to be in front of the king in the VIP uh row dressed all nice and you're listening to from the you hear the king's voice. I don't want to hear it in a a recording. It's what I tell people. Why don't you come to Israel? I'll come when Mashiach comes. But Mashia is going to reveal himself in Israel, not in New York. You want to be seeing Msiah right when he comes or a month later because there won't be any flights with Allal. I want to see the second I want to see the revelation. Why do why should I see it on YouTube? Why should I sit in Miami and watch a live streaming of the coming of Mashia Israel when I can be here? Same thing here. So every day of the year the nephic is in the resting place the 15th day of every month that's where the is already there but on the day of the passing it's all there can you imagine standing there the energy when the ofishim is there present there And I don't know about you, but when I go, I feel you feel it. You feel that. So if you can go, if you can't, I'll go and I'll uh send regards. But first of all, uh it's a very powerful day. I told you the three things we need to do to connect myself with Hashem. I need to thank Hashem. Do whatever you need to do to thank Hashem. Even with your own words, thank you for the water. Thank you for giving me this. Thank you for thank Hashem all the time. 90% thanking, 10% asking. That's what the Torah says. I will say 99% just thank Hashem all day long. Thank Hashem and not Hashem. Thank Hashem. Nothing wrong with thanking Hashem. You answer already Hashem. Be appreciative once a day. Sit down and thank Hashem for whatever you have. I know it sounds maybe what's the big deal? I constantly thank Hashem. Constantly. And it's coming from the depth of my heart. It's like I appreciate everything that Hashem does. You know, I buy my kids presents all the time. They all say thank you. Some of them you see the appreciation. It's a it's a nature and you can nourish that. You see the appreciate. Be appreciative to Hashem. Every time you have a complaint, stop the complain on that moment and right away look for something that is amazing in your life and thank Hashem. You bump your little pinky toe into the side of the bed or something. Ah, instead of screaming and starting cursing, thank you that I have a a mouth and teeth to scream even. You know, the other day I had some infection in my ear. Two days I couldn't hear. You know how annoying it is not to hear? Yes, it is. I barely hear. I'm like 80% dead. But now I couldn't hear. So what did it cause? Instead of complaining, I kept I for a whole week I thanked Hashem that I can hear. We don't appreciate what we have till we don't have it. Hashem is waiting for you to wake up. Don't complain. Don't think that Hashem is punishing you because things in your life don't work out how you want. It's Hashem waking you up. He just wants your attention. He just wants you to come home. He just wants you to go on his path. He wants you to reach your tikun. And he tells you why you going the long way. Go the short. Why are you going the long way? Why are you going like that? Listen to my advice. He says just follow the Torah. You'll live fine. So today, regardless to this week in Om, I think I gave you a pretty clear explanation how to deal with your life. And I can guarantee you, I will sign for you that it works. And I'm the proof. And I'm not different than you. And I guarantee to you that I probably have 10 times more what weight on my shoulders than you, if not 100 times. It's attitude. And Hashem, there's nothing wrong different between me and you. And I'm telling you, it works. Hashem throws the challenges in your in your in your face when you're dealing with it in the right way. They disappear. They dissolve. Unbelievable. You just see it with your own eyes. Try it. So since it's hard, then take this week to to to use as a jumping board today, tomorrow, till Sunday. Increase whatever you can. Sit with yourself and analyze your life. Where can I put more? Where can I what can I remove? Where can I refine myself? How would Hashem want me to conduct myself in this situation, this situation, and this situation? What is the right thing to do? You have to understand that what you're seeing, what's going on in the world is a mini you. You seeing the world, wars inside of you, constant war. You see in the world, instability. See, same thing with you. Uncertainty in you. Everybody fighting with each other in you. You fighting with each other all day long. Monday second later, you know, it's the same thing. So, what I want to recommend to you, I gave you enough information to go and repeat the video, look, watch it a few times and apply it. But what I want to recommend to you is this Thursday night, don't don't let that Thursday night this year and Friday go past. you can go to go to one of the here and go to because of if you can go to if you don't I'm going to give me names I'll pray for you whatever you want as it is I was on Monday in May of 7 hours names coming in all day long but I rather pray for you than to pray for myself so you can send me your names I'll pray for whatever problems you have and somebody also it's very important somebody asked me the other day I didn't start I didn't count the om till now can I start. I said, "Well, listen, obviously you missed a large significant amount of it, but start because that's the whole point of the even if you missed three quarters of it, start of course without the just say today is read the have in your mind. It's never too late. You didn't you didn't do it the right way. It's it's true, but really every day is a mitzvah of itself. There's not one mitzvah. Every day you have a mitzvah. So I'm telling whatever you can take the opportunity because Hashem is listening. Hashem is close. We have the advantage of learn. Ah that's the thing. If you can and you're independent do whatever you need to know and you know if not then I have a page on my website atmood.orgb. It's very long, but there's all the prayers that you need to say for there both in Hebrew and in English organized in a very organized way. There's certain tim to read. There's certain tikun to read. There's certain prayers I it takes time. I'm already telling you it's going to take you time, but I made it on the website clear and both in English and in Hebrew. Just remember at.org/lagb /bom invest a little bit way beyond what you can think and in all aspects for chuva and and learning Torah and so forth but we have to take advantage of this time because in on you can do a huge change huge change in your life. All is left for me is to wish you great success on the path that you should be going on. And Bazad Hashem, Hashem should remove all obstacles with your help. Hashem, by the way, I'm blessing you that it will happen, but you have to do it. You have to do it on you're getting a 99% discount. All the judgments are sweetened. And what needs to be done is to learn Torah. Everything that I told you, you sweeten the judgments. And the what's what does it mean that the judgments are sweetened that the judgment becomes mercy? You have a lawsuit, suddenly it goes well in your favor. You're about to sell your property for a million, suddenly you got to win a million point. Uh whatever it is, I'm stop throwing ideas. The judgment becomes mercy and then you see true blessings in your life. So I'm going to take the opportunity to wish you a very successful path on the path that you need to walk on that Hashem should bless you with true fear of God and seeing the hand of God in everything. And that Hashem should bless you that your chuva should be efficient that you should just reach to your tikun without all the headaches and the distractions on the side. And last but not least, we'll just wish you and happy. And for the viewers, please share the video and we'll be able to hopefully see the ultimate blessing of Hashem, the coming of Msiah and the coming of Hashem back to Yushimat.
