Rosh Chodesh Elul - Time to start your new path!! Rabbi Alon Anava (Sunday's live lecture)

[Music] Honda everybody thank you all for coming. Uh for the local ones, thank you for coming in the rain. And for the not local ones, the thank you for coming online. We're going to have a very very powerful lecture. Pay attention. Uh good opportunities don't come so often. And if you know how to to recognize an opportunity, but not only to recognize the the opportunity is to take action. To recognize the opportunity that a lot can do. But the will the question is how much you willing to take action. So tonight is one of the most powerful nights in the in the year kesh is as it is an amazing powerful day to add on that the month of alul and we're now on starting a journey 30 days before shah smart people take advantage of opportunities and less smart people listen and wake up 28 days later. So on purpose I wanted to broadcast this lecture that no one can have the excuse by saying I didn't hear it on time. Now you onesh you can hear it on time and apply if you don't apply. So before we start I want to dedicate the class first of all for Lydia Marcel Masuda and Rael and Abraham and everybody else who needs and also shalom health and healthy happy god-fearing children to Jacob Ben and Lydia and for health happiness has good character traits and long life for Moshe bac and bra for Marcel Masuda and all her children and all her children's children and also benham and to the for the healing of anyone who needs healing and anyone who needs any type of salvation in their life. Hashem should bless you in the best way possible. Hashem will do the blessings at the end of the class. So, I highly recommend to turn your phones off that you're not going to have any distractions and uh and uh pay attention. Tonight, I'm going to talk about how you can take advantage of the beginning of the biggest change you can make in your life. Most people don't grow in spiritual, in physical. Most people don't grow. They're not in a motion of growth because they're not willing to do a change. And only when you're willing to do a change, that's when an opportunity of growth comes. Today we're also going to sp the night of kodes and what you can achieve tonight and tomorrow also. And really if anyone feels or thinks that they had a very successful year in the last 11 months then maybe this uh class is not really for you. The sad reality is that most people didn't have a successful year. And even if some people think that they had the reality is that most people did not have and I will explain what does it mean. There are some exceptions of people said, "No, I had a great year." But I'm going to explain very briefly what does it mean the success that I'm talking about. A lot of people translate the success with money. If I have a lot of money, then I'm successful. But unfortunately, that's not how we measure success. How do you measure me measure measure success that I was able to grow in a lot of levels spiritually? It doesn't matter if it's the last month, the last half a year or the last year. But I'm looking now the last 11 months because 11 months ago was Rosh Shah on Rosh Shai I prayed up to Hashem and prayed for everything that I needed and hoped for things and did so many things hoping I'm going to be blessed by this this year for parasa for zoo to find my other half to have I mean everybody has their prayers happens to be that onsh it's very easy to uh to take a lot of decisions but nevertheless uh very few actually do something on Shah you know the gates of heavens are open and you have a lot of inspiration and you have a lot of excitement and and you take on yourself a lot of decision and this year I'm going to do this and this year I'm going to do that but really nothing really happens it wears off very very fast so when I'm asking how do you measure measure success. I'm measuring success is how many levels I was able to climb spiritually in the past 11 months. I'm right now here was I here 11 months ago or I was like or even maybe I was in better 11 months ago and I went down in my spiritual level. That's how I measure my success. Not how much money I have and not if I have peace with be between me and my wife and not if I'm married or not and not if that's not how I measure the success. The success is how many levels I was able to climb spiritually in the last year. And if you cannot measure a lot of levels, then you didn't have a successful year. Now to explain to you what I means with these levels. First of all, the explanation when I'm talking about how many levels you grew is how much of your challenges you were able to overcome and successfully win the challenge and your and your year your last 11 months was full of challenges. Challenges in parnasa in getting your livelihood, challenges with relationships with family, challenges with your addictions, it doesn't matter what. We all had tons of challenges last year. How many of the challenges you passed? How many of the challenges you miserably failed? How many of the challenges you passed and you grew from it and learn from that? That's the first part on the list that you need to ask yourself now. Was I successful or not? If you can say, yeah, I passed all my challenges amazingly. I don't think many people can say I passed all my challenges successfully. But then you also have to measure how many you did pass successfully and how many you didn't pass successfully and then kind of weigh it. Okay, I was 20% not good to 80% that was good. So first of all, when you want to measure your success in the last 11 months is how did you pass the challenges that you have? How did you uh deal with these challenges? Maybe some of the challenges you didn't pass but you dealt with it in the right attitude. I'll I'll I'll explain more on that. Now I want to just very briefly and in a very general way talk about the night of and what you need to set in the next 30 days. We're going to learn almost every day. We're going to post first of all there's going to be a lot of classes. I'm now in Florida for another two weeks. So there's going to be a lot of lectures in the next two weeks which of course the online uh followers can enjoy right away. But more than that for the ones who are following me on Instagram and Facebook and WhatsApp and all these platforms like we did similar in a few times in the past we did a few years ago the chuba boot camp and we did the 40-day journey if you remember if you I don't know how long you're following me for but we're going to do something similar this alul with a lot of explanations and everything that I'm talking tonight. Tonight you just need to understand what's the opportunity and what can be done and then of course to set everything up. So measuring your success in the last 11 months is how much you successfully passed your challenges and if you didn't how many you failed. How did you deal with your challenges? Were you completely broken and shattered to pieces from them or did it make you stronger? Because not all the challenges are set to be successful. Many of the challenges are already predestined for you to fail. That's the will of Hashem because he wants to see how you will deal with the failure and he wants to see how you're going to deal with the fact that you are crushed again and if you're going to rise up again and brush off all the dirt and keep on walking or fall into sadness and depression. So that's one very important thing. Put it as a note is how you deal with your challenges. Next thing how you measure your success and this might not be relate not maybe people will relate with that but most people on their spiritual growth journey they set goals and they have all sorts of targets that they're aiming to and all sorts of resolutions right now if you're not in that category like I told you this class might not be applicable to you or that this is going to be the class for you to finally open your eyes and wake up and do something positive and productive with your life. But the question is how many of the goals that I set was I successful in achieving and I scored goals. It can be targets and it can be my resolutions. And I don't know if you remember last year I gave a roish class exactly a year ago in Florida. If you remember some of you were there, some not. And in that lecture, I shared a personal story how I got stuck in the parking lot of Target for two days. I don't know if you remember. If not, go to last year's lecture, hear the whole story. And I summarize the whole lecture was just stay on the target. Most people they don't even have a target, but make yourself a target and stay on the target. So the next uh graph how you will measure your success is if you had any goals any targets and any resolutions were you able to to fulfill them? If you can come and answer now by saying I didn't even have any targets well this year you're going to have to set some targets because if you don't have a target where you're going then you are destined to get lost with no question here. So the first thing you need to know is where are you going? Where am I heading? And needless to say, everyone in their in their way make resolutions. I'm going to start doing this. I'm going to start doing that. I'm going to give up this. I'm going to give up that. How much success did you have with those targets, resolutions, decisions? That's your next level. How you measure your success. And the last is did I grow spiritually from whatever I went through. You might look back at the last year and say, "I don't think I had a successful year. I didn't find my other half. I don't I don't I barely make ends meet financially. Uh I wanted to go and pray every day. I barely did that." And you go through a whole list of your failure, but that's what you wanted to happen. And could be that you were destined to fail in that. And Hashem just wanted to see how you deal with that. And could be that you grown spiritually great levels. You think you didn't grow because you feel you're standing in the same place in regards to your challenges, but really you grew because you are fighting your challenges and you are fighting your urges and you're fighting your desires and you're on a path of of a positive struggle. So when I talking about success, remove money from from the what we're talking about. I know everybody has issues with money. You're not the only one. Even the rich people has issues with money right now. That's the what the will of Hashem. That's one of the many hints that Mashiach is closer. Don't think right now you're going to be the next startup. Focus on what you need to do. Money will come wherever it's needed. Success like I told you is exactly what I explained and then more than that. I measure success in my life is how do I wake up in the morning? Do I wake up in the morning sad with no energy or do I wake up in the morning fully inspired and just smiles on my face all day long? Why are you smiling? I don't know. It's a good day. Now, right now, literally coming here, I was we were driving. My kids are with me. My daughter's telling me, "Why are you smiling? Why? You look like very happy." I says, "Why not?" Of course, I'm happy. You know, I'm breathing. I'm alive. I'm my kids are with me. going to meet now a lot of a lot of amazing namat a lot of amazing songs we're going to strengthen now thousands of people can can you find me a reason why not to be happy because it's raining so we're going to talk a lot about how you reach to that success but tonight I want you to first of all be exposed to your new journey if you choose to take it by the way a lot of people would leave the room with like always just nodding That's it. So you decide how you're leaving the room tonight. You can leave the room nodding and saying, "Yeah, yeah, very inspiring." And then tomorrow not do nothing. Or leave the room and say, "Okay, now I have my goals set. My target is set. I'm going to have my guide guiding me for the next 30 days." and bes my goal is to come to Shah as clean as possible that I can stand in front of Hashem and finally have a good prayer and a and and a good connection and spiritual elevation. Don't think about how much money you want to make the next year and if you want to meet your other half or not. Trust me, Hashem knows exactly what you need and Hashem knows exactly what you want. He doesn't need so much of you nagging. I spoke about it many many times. Shem has access to social security. He knows if you're single or not. You don't have to remind him 70 times a day you're single. He knows that. And he has access to your bank account and he knows how much money you don't have. Focus on the positive things and focus on things that will take you to the next level so you can start measuring success and marking success on the path that you're going on. So with that said, tonight is the night that you can set the path how you going to walk on for the next 30 days. Now why is that so important? Because on Shah in 30 days we are going to stand in front of Hashem. And in that time we all pray to Hashem for everything that we need, everything that we want. And as the text of the prayer says that on that day is decide who's going to live, who's going to die, who's going to be rich, who's going to be poor, who's going to get married, who's going to get divorced. Everything is decided on that day on Shana. Your entire next year is decided for you. And one element that most people miss is another thing that is decided for you on rash shah is how much challenges you're going to have for the next coming year. How intense they're going to be and which one of them is you going to fail already miserably because it's already predestined. That is already decided. Now wouldn't you want to come to Shana with the idea of sweetening judgments that I'll explain in another time. That's the concept of diaping the the the apple and the honey is is sweetening judgments. I have a few classes online explaining on that but I'll elaborate on that. But you want to come to Sha that the judgments are sweetened and then you're blessed with whatever Hashem wants to give you. But in order to get that blessing you need 30 days of preparation. You cannot prepare in three days. And that's the problem of mo of most people comes they understand that in 30 days is sh they understand that it's a very aspicious time that needs great preparation but two three days into all the resolutions and all the good decisions on alul they go out the window. So you have to focus on because you cannot fulfill it in 14 days. You need 30 days. And why do you need 30 days? That's how long it's going to take you to prepare yourself that you come to Shana ready. If you don't do it, then you don't come to Roshana ready. And then the results up to Hashem. So tonight, before we start, I want to share with you a personal story. Maybe some of you heard it, but after that, I want to explain what you need to have in your mind tonight. How you're going to set up that path. So the first thing you need to do tonight is the switch. If you don't do that, then it's not going to work. And if you're not going to do that, don't whine after that next year that you didn't feel your year was successful and that you were walking in the right path. You know, just to elaborate one more little thing before I continue with measuring your success. I also measure success how many days of the year I was very very happy in a good mood and how many days of the year I wasn't so happy I was dealing with some challenge and it brought me down my spirit and you have to ask yourself how many days in the last 11 months you in the gauge of simka and happiness was above the green and how many days you're very very low that's another way to measure your success on your path because if constantly in very high high level energy that which is translated to happiness and joy then it means that you're doing spiritually very well and if you have a lot of low do days that's not good that's not good at all so tonight like I told you we're going to set the path but it's important that you listen to every detail and more than that that you follow not only listen but before that I want to share with you a quick story that happened to me two years ago And two years ago I went to Oman for Shah and after many years that I I never went and not that I have I love I learned the I love the whole idea the whole concept and so forth but a few times that I tried to reach to um I don't know minim I couldn't get there one time there was a snowstorm one time the flight was delayed whatever it was two years ago was some type of opportunity from the heavens and last it. We decided we're going to Oman. I took my boys and a few friends of the boys and we left to Oman. We arrived the morning of Rosh Shana. And for the ones of you who know me a little bit, then you know that me and traveling doesn't work that well. And usually whatever can go wrong goes wrong. And Hashem usually squeezes me like to the not to the last minute, to the last microsecond that before. Okay, that's it. So, we of course land in um and morning of Shaah, the first thing the guy that we closed and booked our room disappeared with a deposit. So, now I'm homeless with kids. I mean, they're big kids and suitcases and we're going up and down and looking for rooms and everything was with a lot of pressure and everything was last minute and everything was with a lot a lot of aggravation and a lot of challenges. Are you going to get angry? are you gonna get judgmental and why what are you let's see how are you how are you going to control yourself but anyways to make a very long story short I was recommended to go and pray in a certain sh clo this is the main sh in Oman and this is where like the main experience of Shana to go to okay I had to get everything ready and everything like I told you was last minute and finally we actually found where to sleep but it was like a 25minut walk from the center. So I rush rush rush. I come to to the mikvah with my my clothes for shah and the second that I come into the mikvah the worker in there closes the door tells me it's closed. That's it. And I'm like whoa whoa. What do you mean it's closed? There's a few more minutes I need to come into the mikvah. He tells me no no no no you can't. I already threw the chemical in the water. You can't. The mikvah is closed. It's closed. Let's go. And this is like moments before Shah where Hashem slammed the door in my face. You know how I felt that moment? Not the the embarrassment in front of Hashem. I was sweating for like eight hours. All I wanted is a little bit of water just to clean myself, wear new clothes. I was dripping dripping from sweat. I'm not talking about now the odor. And now I can't even go to take a shower. I can't even go into the mik. How are we going to come to Shah? That's how I'm coming to Shah. Okay, I go to the Besset. They already started MK. I somehow squeezed in. It was so hot there that I couldn't even breathe from how hot it was. There was like I don't know like 10,000 people there all squashed like a tuna can, a sardine can. I'm standing like this. There's air conditioning and ventilation, but you can't breathe because first of all, you squashed by 500 people. And then there's no air. So, first of all, my min of the year, which is a very important min was like, you know, I was pushed from all directions. My sid is flying out of my hand. Wasn't it wasn't a good ma. And then I wanted to go all the way to the front. So, it took me like 40 minutes to cross till the front because it's so cramped with people. It's a massive, massive room and I think there's at least 10,000 people in there and there's two floors. Somehow I go closer and closer to the Aron Kodesh and I'm telling you I'm sweating. I'm suffering from heat. I can't breathe from the heat and I'm like overprotected over my younger son cuz he's like he was the 12 at the time and and I'm pushed from all directions and you know you're expecting Shana everybody kind as a kind you're getting elbows moving you know people stepping on you I'm standing there like this I I can barely breathe I'm like dripping sweat and I'm like I I'm not doing this I'm I look at the door I'm like I'm heading out I'm I'm not doing that And suddenly I feel a tap on my uh shoulder and I turn around and some guy that I never seen in my life, he's like, "Rabbi Naba." And I'm like, "Yeah, Rabba doesn't have any more breath." So he tells me, "Come, come, we saved seats for you." And like took me from being stuck like a sardine. I sat second row in front of the ark, front of the ces. Suddenly some air conditioning, some air. I'm like, took me 10 minutes to to to get back to myself. But I was really really in the front. I had shalom on my left, I have on my right, all the great of of of breast are all around. I'm like, thank you. So in this sh they have the custom of doing these nigunim these uh long long songs but everyone is like 10 minutes. It's like a two-hour prayer and every time they go with the nigunim of course if you know it great if you don't you just you know pretend you know it but uh and you guys do like but actually you don't really know the tune but nevertheless I was sitting finally the air cooled me down. I was comfortable. My kids are fine. I look around. I see some familiar faces. And I'm sitting in front of the ark. And I'm asking Hashem, "Wh why did you close the mikvah in my face? Like, you know, I I really tried. Why? Why? I'm not upset. I'm not angry. But why? I need to learn something." And the divine message that I got is that I came to Rosha Shana dirty. And the reality was that that previous month I was busy with many different things, but with my spiritual growth and my chuva and my yet knows how to go like this and say, "Yeah, but you teach people and you inspire people and you're busy with a lot of good things." That's not an excuse. That's the yet telling me you're doing good here. Ignore that. The fact was that the entire month of ill blaming me being busy on doing productive and good things. Really, I didn't focus on my spiritual growth on alul. I didn't focus on my chuva. I didn't focus on the fact that I also the great Rabbi Nava also has to do chuva. Also has to prepare on. And Hashem told me, I don't care who you are and how many people you teach or how many followers you have. You do chuva like everybody else. And if you don't, I'll make you this big. Hashem just threw it at my face. You asking me why the mikra was closed. You didn't prepare yourself the whole month of you came to to Shana dirty. So you're dirty spiritual. Then it manifested you're going to be physically spiritual. dirty. Sorry that you it started that you're spiritually dirty then it will manifest you'll be physically sp dirty you got to face the reality that's it but what I took from that and that's the example of how I told you before if you measure success is what do you do with your failures do you learn something from that so I learned from two years ago you don't miss out the opportunity of alul cuz you're going to come to Roshana dirty. And don't think you can come to Roshana with three days before Roshash to do some chuva and read some two chapters of tim and give $18 charity and think that's it. You came and you going to w into rash shah and hashem is just going to bestow all the the blessings on you. That doesn't work like that. Now the reality it's all for your benefit. It's not that Hashem is sitting up there in Shamim and saying, "Oh, her." No. Hashem only wants to bless you. But he says, "You have to do something. Think I'm going to give you just like that the blessing for free." No. So the moral of the story is don't come to Shana dirty. And it doesn't matter who you are. You know, in the back of my mind, I was like, "Okay, you know, it's not that 20 years ago that I need to do serious chuva. I'm already 20 years into my ch. Okay. And as as it is, my daily aodashem is busy. So, a few more things. That's how my is numbing me. Oh, no. No. You busy. Now, it's not that I'm busy with sitting on the beach with a beer. I'm busy with teaching and inspiring and doing all sorts of programs, whatever it is. But I also have to move things aside and do my cha. So what you need to take from that is don't come dirty to Roshash. And tonight you have the opportunity to set the path how to not come dirty to Rosh Shah and if you don't do it then I have no guarantee and no responsibility and should bless you with everything that you need. I'm just coming to tell you what's the the easy way to walk into Shana. So we are taught and everybody knows that that we have to start doing chuva have to start repenting and we have to start preparing ourselves to sh tomorrow we're going to have another class onesh and on that class I'm going to explain in a very deep and clear way the concept of the king is in the field for the ones of you are familiar you heard that term many times that during ill the king is in the field. What does it mean that a king is very accessible? Hashem is accessible. When he's sitting in his chamber on his throne, he's not accessible. You can't just walk in. But when he's walking in the field, so to say, is accessible and you can come close and wave. But that's really not what it means. It has a much more deeper meaning. And the reality is that I see from year after year that most people don't really understand what it means. the king is in the field. They just understand some concept. So, tomorrow we're going to talk about I'm going to explain in a very simple but yet very deep way what's and what you need to do with that. The king is in the field. You have 30 days now to take advantage of that. It's not just coming and seeing the king and shaking his hand. It's a completely different topic. Tomorrow we're going to do that. But today we start preparing the khim. We start preparing the vessels for that. Don't focus on what we need to do tomorrow. Especially this the topic tonight has to do with lamemed of a and tomorrow is alful and tomorrow it changes. Today we're going to focus on something else. Tomorrow we start our job. We start the journey. I mean we started today of course but tomorrow we go and learn the concept of and the whole month what we need to do. So don't don't think you're going to be by yourself here and what I need to don't worry everything is set and ready. So right now I need to understand that I'm required to do chuva. Chuva means to repent and uh the simple explanation of chuva is just don't do the sin again. That's it. That's really where it starts. Stop doing the sin. Then of course you have to you know have regret, remorse, confess and sweeten the judgments. So many other things but first of all raise your hand say guilty and stop. You don't stop. You can't do chuva. If you stop for one day and then another day come back and stop for another two days then you didn't do chuva. You like a yo-yo. Besides the fact of the chuva that I have explained in many many times in the past, I'm not going to even talk about it tonight. You go to my website, you'll see dozens of of lectures how to do chuva. Everything about chuva. I'm talking right now on a completely different thing that is less familiar about the chuva that one needs to do and you need to do it every day. But if you can do it very well in the next 30 days, you'll be good. You'll be doing good. The concept of chuva is well known. leave the sin, don't do the sin anymore and change your path. But if you want to look at it in a different level, let's take the word chuva and analyze it. So chuva is written in five Hebrew letters, taf, shin, vav, bet. So I want to see the acronym in the in the word chuva. And to take from that something that I need to do before we start, you have to understand that this is something that you need to do every day. But on that's something that you if you if you are now joining for the next 30 days that's what you need to start doing now for the next 30 days and if you wanted to stick there shouldn't be a reason why you would stop then you have to continue after alul but if you're not going to do it on alul I don't know you might pass the test with I don't know how it is in the America in Israel you get numbers you can pass the test 60 also out of 100 so you pass the test but pretty pretty lame. You want to pass at least 85 90 or even go to 100. Get a sticker. I'll give you a sticker at the end of the 30 days. Kid of the month. So for the next 30 days and for on your entire life, you have to focus on five different things that we're going to talk about now very briefly. And I will elaborate on each and every one of us in one of them in the next 30 days in a very clear way. So don't you don't need to invent things. You need to just do the first letter of chuva is t and t stands for three things that you need to apply. First one is that's prayer. Second one is tora and the third one is to thanking the prayer is very simple. It's not that you pray in your in your in your bed or when you're in the car and please hashem I need this. That's not the prayers I'm talking about that you say for other times. The prayers that I'm talking about are the prayers you have to pray from a prayer book. And as I said a million times, women also need to pray. I don't know why people women think they're exempt from praying. Women know how to push their their husbands, but they don't bother to open the book themselves. The reality is that a man has to pray three times a day. The morning, afternoon, and evening. And women have to pray if there's farity one time a day twice a day. Either it doesn't matter. The difference between women is they don't bound to time. We have to pray in a certain amount, a certain hour and we need to have a minion. Women can pray wherever they are, wherever they want and whatever they want. But women have to prayer and if you don't prayer, you're missing a huge part of your closeness to Hashem. So that's the basics. If you don't work on your prayers, that's the foundation of everything. So in this month and for on you have to put prayers as your number one thing in your in your life. That's the most important thing much more than your livelihood much more than anything that you give any priority. When you put that first priority then Hashem already puts many paths in your life first priority because when you're putting Hashem number one then he he likes that a lot. And I said that many times. Most people don't put Hashem number one. He's number two. And the indication to that is how do you wake up in the morning? And there's many other indications by the way. But if you wake up in the morning and right away you grab your phone, then you put Hashem number two because you put Hashem number one. I said that no once and no twice. First hour of the day, no phone. Last hour of the day, no phone. It's Hashem. You have to put Hashem number one in every part of your life. And every part path you walk on, Hashem has to be number one and nothing else is number two because there's only one Hashem. There's nothing else and there's nothing but him. So can't be something that is number two. Number one is only Hashem. When you put priority to Hashem, then he will put all your desires as first priority. So anyways, you're obligated in doing that. More than that, you're only the one who benefits from that. Prayers have to be the number one priority of your day. And I add on that that you have to say birkaton every day. You eat every day, right? Why don't you want to say the most important blessing in the Torah, the blessing, the grace after the meal, birkon? Most people drive 40 minutes to to get the the meot pizza. Shalom should not say the birkaton. It's like I'm giving you now a million dollar check and you're saying I don't feel like going to the bank. The line is too long. I just gave you a million dollars. And anyways, it's not that you like don't eat and you're on a diet. So anyways, you have to you eat every day. So at least one meal sir katamazon you know a few years ago I was in a lecture in Los Angeles and this lady comes up to me after the lecture and she asks me for a blessing for parasa for her livelihood so I told her I'll give you a blessing but I prefer to give you advice and when she asked for the advice I told her say every day ah it's too long it's too long you ask for pnasan Huh? Do you have something shorter? Let me look if I have some in my magic hat. You asked for paranasai. You went for you want livelihood. Then I told you what to what to do. You eat anyways. Huh? How you look? It looks like you eat every day. All day long. So stop for one time. I'm joking. Of course. It's just to make you laugh. I'm not making fun of that lady. But you eat every day. So say one time. No, it's too long. Okay. So and so complain. So also one of the important prayers and the every prayer that Hashem has set for you that has to be a priority to you. The next thing is Torah. Every person is obligated in learning Torah. And you have to ask yourself in the last 11 months how much Torah did you learn? And a lot of people they have very bad excuses. But the reality is that you go to your smartphone and you look in the whatever analytics your phone gives you how much you were on the screen the last 11 months and you will be shocked. Most people are on the screens two three four hours every day and not doing anything productive junk just like that. So you can't say I didn't have time to learn any Torah. If you don't learn Torah at least five minutes a day, I mean five minutes is a joke, but at least five minutes then how are you expecting to have any blessings in your life? And it can be sometimes just reading a few chapters of you don't have to now open a and dive into the to the telling you read five minutes or something. And again going back to women saying I don't need to learn Torah. You need to learn all the and you need to learn the laws of purity and laws of and laws of and laws of that's enough. Start with that. Okay. When you finish that, come back to me. I'll give you some other things to learn. Of course, women has to learn. How can you be observant to God and you don't even know what to perform? How to to keep a kosher kitchen and the laws of purity and and nida and everybody needs to learn. And the last is to thanking Hashem. Now, thanking Hashem is not putting the the the new song, thank you, Hashem, that has 500 billion views already. Everybody knows how to put the song on, but that's it. It's not about thanking Hashem. Of course, you need to thank Hashem every day. But really, thanking Hashem is doing a good deed that you don't earn or gain anything from it. It's only forem shine. It's not for you. It's not you have any benefit from it. You do a good deed and you're saying, "Hashem, this is for you." And it can be any type of charitable or kind act. And that kind act can be you shutting up when your wife is angry and you just don't say anything or you say the right word, a little compliment, even when you don't feel like saying the compliment. Sometimes you're just smiling to a person which you really don't feel like smiling to that person, but you know it's going to do good for him. You do one little act every day that makes Hashem happy. It's not for you. It's not about you. It's about Hashem. I will elaborate in length about the all three. But you have to start registering what is required. And I know it sounds a lot, but it's not a lot. The next thing in the order is the letter Shin. I will skip Shin for a second and uh because I want to focus on Shin the most. Let's go to the next one which is vav. Vav is vidui. Vid is confession. Tomorrow morning not tomorrow morning sorry Tuesday morning we start confessing to hashem. If you're smart, you start saying for 40 days. If you're Ashkanazi, you'll start saying by the end of the month. Even if you Ashkenazi and you start saying at the end of the month, while you pray and you say, you confess to Hashem, you confess your sins to Hashem. The entire 30 days, you need to confess your sins. That's why there's no we say 30 days before then another 10 days but it's all about confessing now then once you start confessing to Hashem and the confession has to be real because you can't hide anything from Hashem it has to be real confession but when you're done with Hashem then you start going and doing your confession with other people that you did wrong to or that you owe them money or an apology or whatever it is and I know in many of the cases You're like, "What?" Here, I'm going to say a side note to some extreme situations, consult your local rabbi before you're going and talking to somebody cuz you might open a some Pandora box. So, in some situations, don't come and confess now and it's going to create a nuclear explosion. But I'm talking about the basic things. And the basic things that when you dig deep down into your soul, the confession is that you're taking this the truth out. the truth that you don't want to be known. Now, in front of Hashem, it's a little bit easy because Hashem anyways knows it and you're like kind of talking to yourself, but to come to another person and to confess that you judge them wrongly and ask for forgiveness or that you slander them and ask for forgiveness, that's not so easy to do that. So, a lot of people for them the the the motion of confessing is hard because they can't surface the truth. it's too embarrassing or it's too hard to deal with or it's whatever brings them to a place that they feel discomfort or confusion or but the fact is that you have to surface it. If you don't surface it, you won't be able to do the real cha. And if it's easy for you to tell Hashem, I did this and I did this, then you have to find it in your heart who you have to go and make amends with. And if somebody needs an apology, you go and leave that apology. And if you owe somebody money, you pay it now in the next 30 days or you come to some type of payment agreement or anything in that respect. You you you don't leave any holes open. You cover all your holes. That's your confession that you saying I did something wrong. If you're saying, "Oh, she doesn't know deserve an apology." Okay. So, okay, you failed in that part. Not always you have to be right. And many times in life, it's better to be smart than right. And in many situations you are the one who needs to lower yourself to bring peace and to bring some unity and make other people affected in a positive way. So the vid is very very important. It's something that you need to do every day and if you do it every day if you pray every day like I told you the then by default you'll you'll do the the the vidi the confession. But the next level is when you start doing it to other people and not to be embarrassed and Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can come and tell another person, I I owe you an apology. I judged you wrong and I said this and that about you. And if you don't do that, how do you think you're going to do for? And don't forget that the entire idea of yum is between you and other people, not between you and Hashem. So you have a lot of work to do in the next 40 days. Don't ignore it. Don't leave it for the last minute. The next thing is bet. Bet stands for bot is all the blessings that you need to say. And now I'm talking to everybody because I know even the observant people don't do what I'm about to say. And most people don't say blessings that they're allow that they're supposed to say. They completely ignore it. And the basics is what's called everything that you benefit from in this world. You have to say a blessing. Before everything that you eat, you have to say a blessing. When you done eating, you have to say another blessing. I guarantee to you go into almost any shul where men pray there three times a day and I guarantee to you that 80% of them don't say half if not 80% of the bot of the blessings and it starts in the morning. The morning blessings. Ask yourself, do you say the morning blessings first thing in the morning every day with all your focus or one hand is on Instagram? And I can tell you that most people don't say the morning blessings in the morning. And even if they do, they say it so fast, no meaning, no thought, no covenant. So who are you kidding? Read the text one time slowly and you'll see what you're asking every day in the morning and how you're setting your day. So all these blessings and everything that I'm talking about I will elaborate in the next few weeks but I'm telling you that's what has to be to you now the titles I'm sure many of you when you take a cup of water you say right how many of you say very few people and you might be good at saying or whatever it is but how many of you say the aftera when it's a little bit longer and you think that you are exempt from that. So let me tell you in two words. I'm not going to say it now because we're going to learn about that in in in in length. Disal explains that when you say a blessing in that type what's called when you you you benefit from something in this world when you say the blessing you release the godly spark that is stuck in that item in whatever it is. It can be food. It can be a physical item. And you release the godly spark to go back to its source. And then when you don't So what are you doing in this world? Why did I bring you to this world? To eat like a No, I brought you here to elevate sparks. I brought you here to purify spiritually the world. Now when you say the aftera, the blessing after the explains that whatever you consumed into your body, the after blessing is releasing all the toxins from your body. And definitely not now the topic, but I said it not once and not twice. The only reason for sicknesses is toxins in the body that cannot be released. That's it. Get all the toxins out of your body. You will never be sick. The after releases the toxins from your body. It's only for your benefit. And why would you want to miss such a thing? You are not performing your mission in this world. Hashem put you in Miami and other people in Chicago. Whatever it is, you have a special place in the universe where you need to elevate that space. The sparks around you belong to you. You need to elevate them with every time that you eat and every time that you do something productive that you benefit from it in this world. So that's the braot that you need to focus on. Anybody from you that says right now, I don't know what you're talking about. Okay? So stay tuned. We're going to learn about that. But for the ones of you who think that you are very observant, question yourself. How often do you say the blessings? Do you know the blessings off by heart? Do you carry in you a little pamphlet that has the text in it? Please don't tell me you never eat grapes and then you need to say, "Do you know the do you know the additions onesh on Shabbat?" If you don't know that, that's like basic. It's like basic being a Jew. When I became observant, the first thing that my friend taught me is the blessings. I had a a little piece of paper and I would say it. I would hold the water. explain it. But everybody wants in their life blessings. Blessings in Hebrew is braha. You want a blessing? Then say a blessing. That's it. The last by the way we'll talk about that. That's less but the also the bit stands for the beton. How much trust you have in Hashem. That I'm going to elaborate another time. the hay of erh of the chuva. I'm going to explain after I go back now to the shin. The shin and the h are the I think the the key here. The shin in Hebrew stands for shinoi. Shinoi means a change is what do I want to change in my life? That's something you need to decide on tonight and later is tomorrow. And if you're still lagging, then a few more days is fine. But without you setting that goal, that target of what I want to change in my life, nothing will work. And I will elaborate in a second, but the h of chuva is is how persistent I am. And most people fail in that. So you need to tonight do the switch. What do I want to change in my life? And from tomorrow starts you being persistent and doing it every day. And why? Because you want the change. And if you're not going to do it every day and you're not going to be persistent, it's not going to work. That's it. Very, very simple. When I became observant 22 plus years ago, I had to go on many new paths in my life because I was going on all the wrong paths in my life. And I had to now walk on very different paths and a lot of them. So I knew that I can't walk on two paths at the same time. That doesn't work. So I had to choose what's the first path I'm going to go on. And then I chose the path of change. I cannot become a slave to Hashem. I cannot become a servant to Hashem. I cannot become a God-fearing Jew and perform what I need to do if I'm still walking on the previous paths. So there's not the time right now to walk on that path. I understood that. I understood it will take me a few years to walk on the path of of serving God. I understood that I first have to go on the path of change. Changing everything in my life, my habits, my desires, the way I think, the way I talk, the way I walk, the way I treat other people, everything had to change completely. And I'm talking about 20 plus years ago when I had to do chuva. Not I'm talking to you on a daily base. I'm just trying to explain the concept. The path that I had to go on for three years is just change everything. Now you can't change things overnight, but you have to have goals and you have to have your targets. What is going to be the next thing that I'm changing? Why am I changing it? That's what you need to do tonight. And if tonight you're tired, then do it tomorrow. But you need to take a piece of paper and write on one side very clearly the things that you're not happy with in your life that you can change. Don't write there I want more money. You have no control over it. Or don't write I want to meet the woman of my dreams. You have no control over it. She will come when it's ready. But you have control of many other things and you need to humble yourself. And tonight you have all the godly divine powers that will allow you to humble yourself. Take advantage because you're removing now 99% of the burden. Tonight, Hashem opens your heart and your soul that you whatever you where whatever level of humility you need to get to, he will allow you. And the level of humility that you need to get to is a list of all the things that you are very unhappy in your life. Little habits that you're not happy. Little things that you would like to change and you can't seem to make make it happen. Things that other people maybe bother you in your life but you think you have control. Make yourself a list. See where you're holding. See if you're dealing with three problems or 40. But there's no other way of doing it. Don't think you're going to keep it in your mind. You have to put it on a piece of paper. You have to bring it down to the world. When you write something, you bring it to to the reality to the world. It's not in your head anymore. It's now it's an existence in this world. And if it bothers you that you can't wake up in the morning with good energy, write it. I hate that I wake up in the morning without good energy and I'm tired. Write it. I don't like it that whenever I want to do a mitzvah, the is bothering like this and like that. Write everything that you know what you need to deal with. Look what the things that you are where you want to become better. If you don't have what I'm telling you now, you're a lost case by the way. Well, shalom, I'm not saying a lost case, but your path to cha is not going to be an easy one. You have to already tonight say I'm not 100% happy with where I am. And that's why I told you before when I started the lecture, if you can come and say, "Oh, I'm great. I I'm very happy where I am." Well, either you are superhuman or either you are too arrogant to realize that you're not superhuman. That's it. Because if you reach to a level that you say, "I'm doing great." Shem should be with you. No man or woman should say, "I'm I'm great. I reached to the top. I'm I'm at my full potential." Not true. Every second of your life, you're growing. You can't come and say I reached my full potential. I'm doing great. No, you're not. Because from this level, you can grow to that level. You need to be critic. You need to look at yourself and introspect and say these are the things that I don't like in my performance. I don't like it that I don't have patience. I don't like You don't have to write the word I don't like. Write it however you want. It doesn't matter. You need to have an indication in front of you. But you have to write everything that bothers you. I hate it that I'm impatient. I hate it that I'm judgmental. I hate it that I'm a jealous individual. I hate it that I'm lazy. I hate this. I hate this because these are the changes that you need to seek. And I told you already, don't write already that you need money. That you do what you need to do. The money will come. That's it. Put your trust in Hashem and everything will work out with your money. Don't don't think you have too much control. Trust me. Do what you need to do. Don't go after the money. I'll tell you a quick story about going after the money. When I met my wife 20 plus years ago and we were engaged uh we couldn't uh we had to postpone the wedding. It was for many different reasons and we couldn't be together because you know engaged or or not you can't touch the the lady before you married. So no kissing. I'm not talking about marital relations. I'm talking about kissing, hugging, touching. So, it's very hard to date someone and and to sit in front of them, not to be able to physically touch them. But you don't want to touch. You can't touch. You touch your spouse before the wedding. Don't expect a good marriage. By the way, I spoke about that a million times. We'll elaborate if you need. If not, go and look at my website. There's all the information that I'm talking about. But a man and a woman should not touch each other in any type of a way before their marriage. And when people come to me with problem in their marriage, the first thing that I ask them is if they're even married because most people don't get married the right way. So they're not really married and then starts problems. And then the next thing is I touched you touch each other when you were dating. If you had marital relations then no one no doubt that you have issues with bite and it will be very hard to to rectify. But even if you touched that will cause a big problem. So it was very hard. So we decided that she should go to Israel and learn and I would stay in New York where I lived and get ready for the wedding. So she went to Tvat where we live right now and I stayed in New York to prepare the wedding. We didn't have any money at all and no help from any direction and uh I needed to to pay for a wedding. and she left to Israel and I was a student in yeshiva at the time. My wife was a realtor and she would uh rent apartments in Manhattan. So she left me a keychain with like 400 keys telling these are all the apartments go and rent them. Basm you know we can make some parnasa. Every day for the next two months I would wake up in the morning pray real quick. not like I'm supposed to pray so quick and finish on the subway so I can come early to the office and see the listings and put it all on Craigslist and whatever and I would run all day long like a like an idiot throughout the city and my excuse was that I carried on me, you know, it was winter. I carried on my uh jacket all these little things that I can give out, you know, candles for a woman to light for Shabbat and like little pamplets or whatever. So I thought, yeah, I'm still doing something good. But nevertheless, I ran after the money like an idiot. For two months, I didn't eat. I didn't sleep because I lived in the yeshiva. And every time I would miss the dinner and missed the lunch because I was in the city and I didn't have a dollar, nothing. Two months I didn't make one deal and I have to start paying for things in the wedding and I don't even have one dollar and I'm going crazy and I'm and and I barely sleep. I I I came to my wedding like a like skinny skinny skinny. I ate I had like a big bag of pretzels and that's that was my my food every day. And I was so locked on I need to make money. I need to have to pay to this wedding. Two months I didn't make $1. Three days before the wedding, my mom comes to visit me from Israel. She comes to the wedding and suddenly uncle so and so gave you $500 and aunt so and so gave you $300 and remember so and so? Oh yeah, they sent a present and in two days I had most of the money to the wedding. And then I looked back and it was one of the most profound messages I had in my beginning of the path is focus on what you need to do. Shem will take care of everything. I ran after the money for two months. I didn't make a dollar. I could have sat in yeshiva for two months and learned Tawa all day long and prepare myself spiritually and work on myself and grow and focus on myself and prepare myself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to the wedding. Instead of that, I ran after money. Hashem told me straight into your face. I write checks. Sit in yeshiva. You're running in the city like a maniac. And the money came two days before the wedding. Everything was set. So I learned a long time ago not to run after the things that have no point. Of course you have to make money. You have to make a cle you have to make your your your vessel your opportunity your loot your effort. You need to have a job. You can't sit all day long on on a couch and think money will fall from the sky. That's not how it's going to happen. You still need to make a click a vessel but to run after it blindly. So the change has to be within you, not your physical surroundings. Don't pray for some person in your life that is bothering you to get out of your life because that person is in your life for a purpose. You have to focus on really what you need to work on. And it's only you. Don't put on your list, my mother's annoying me, my sister's annoying me, my boss is annoying me. You have no much control over it. I mean you do I mean you can move away from something toxic but in many of the cases you can't just quit your job you need that job so so shut up and in many of the cases that people come to your life and bother you are there for a purpose so you can humble yourself and work on your midot on your characteristics and work on your patience and your anger and many other things. Don't be so angry at them at the mirrors. People in your life are your mirrors. They come and tell you who you are. Every person in my life is a mirror of me. If I'm arrogant, I look at the people as people. And if I'm humble, I look at everyone that I bump into as a mirror. And I look at myself. How do I look? Because that person is a reflection of my name. Hashem put that person in my life. That person is a reflection. It's a mirror. It's telling me something. You're walking around you thousands of people. Dapka, that person you talk to, Open your eyes. Hashem is putting in front of you a message, a mirror. Don't be judgmental. Don't be angry. Don't be jealous. Don't have any emotions. Be quiet. Humble yourself. See what Hashem is showing you. So, you're going to have to make a list of the shin of the chuva. You have to make a list of change. Shinui means change. What am I changing? Now if again if you're sitting tonight and saying I don't think I need to change anything in your life then the situation is worse than you think worse than you think. Any person that sits right now and says no I don't need any change in my life. Life is okay. Then then it's not then you live in some denial. It's not okay because it can be much better. First of all if you're such a great uh achiever then it can be better. You can never say I had enough. But nobody can say I'm doing great. And if you have a problem with that, I'll ask you 20 questions and you'll see how great how not great you're doing where you need to work on yourself. So the first thing you need to focus on is what is the changes that I'm going to do? What am I working on? Can I work on all of them at the same time? Maybe there's 20 things. I can't handle 20 things at the same time. I'm going to handle this and that and the rest we're going to have to spread it out in the next year. That's why I told you we're going to have other classes. If it's interesting you, you're going to have to follow. I'm not going to run after you. I'm giving you the key. You come have to come and open the door. I'll put the classes online. You decide if you take it or not. If you don't, I still love you and I will bless you to be successful and may Hashem bless you with everything that you need. But uh I think uh you need to think two steps ahead and say okay I'm not stumbling and you know driving you nuts. You want that special blessing in your life. And by the way like I told you before don't count your blessings in what you see physical reactions. My biggest blessing that I see in my life is that I'm able to grow spiritually. That's it. That's when I feel blessed that I'm able to grow and grow and grow to a god come to a higher level and not to look back and say, you know, I like looking at myself exactly how I don't know if it's familiar to most of you. I'm sure you saw it in one point of your life. If you're looking at a graph of stocks, some stocks only go up. That's it. Some stocks they go up, they go down, they go up, they go down. You have to make a graph of your life. That is going to look like the stock graph. How many times you were going up? How many times you were going down? What is the relations between the going up and the going down? Are you going up 90% and going down 10% and then going up again 70%. How does your stock look like? We're going to elaborate on that. I'm going to give a whole class just on that. So, measure your success in how valuable your stocks are in the eyes of Hashem. Of course, your success. And like I told you, it starts with the change. After you decided on the change, you have to have persistence. And if you're not going to have persistence, it's not going to work. It's very, very simple. The most important thing is that tonight and latest tomorrow, you have to do that. If you do that already on Tuesday, you're missing the momentum. You didn't miss the train, you missed the momentum. And to move something like a heavy machine like a big truck or a train or an airplane, to move it from standing to start requires the most energy. Once it's started, it's already catching up. Whether it's a plane on a runway or a car accelerating, the the first push is the hardest. And that has to be done today. And today you have 90% is removed of the the difficulty. Try to accelerate from zero to whatever on Tuesday, it won't be the same thing. That's why the timing here is key. If you listen to this lecture in three days, it's not that you lost the opportunity. It will be much harder. You know why? Because starting from today, you have to read certain things every day, which I'll explain in a second. Which means that tomorrow you're joining, you have to already ready read two days. No, you didn't miss anything. Don't get all discouraged because I came two three days later but now you are the lucky ones and the smart ones who showed up. So you have the opportunity from the beginning and not to join from the middle and the beginning is much easier to start the the the ball rolling. So you need to focus. So tonight latest tomorrow you're going to have a lot of homework today and if you're not taking notes then you're going to have to watch the rerun because I'm not giving out pamphlets with with instructions. I'm just going to tell you to go to my website.org/illul and everything is written there. Everything is prepared for you. You don't have to do much. You just have to log in every day and do whatever prayers and whatever I explain. And what I say it's not that I'm inventing anything. There's certain things that we add every day in the month of alul. You can find all the information on the page that I told you. very briefly. We start learning every day on the first day of we say first chapter of if you haven't said that then say it tonight. It's on the website. You'll find it. You don't have to open the Tanakh and look for it. And I have it there in English and in Hebrew. The next days for the next 30 days we say every day one chapter of the book of Proverbs. And all that is important because if you remember in the beginning when I told you the T of you have to the prayers and the Torah. Besides the regular stuff, this you have to add every day. And if you're persistent with that, you are on a very good path of success. And the reason why I'm saying that because I know many people who start and they don't finish. They start reading every day one chapter of the book of Proverbs. They go 10 days and then they they miss one or two because of Shabbat or whatever event and then they miss. I'm talking about facts. I check what I check with my students how successful they are what they do. I listen to to the comments of people. So I know that people start another thing that you want to start every day from today is we read three chapters of timtov ordered that and you do every day three chapters of tim that's it and on yonipur you add the rest and the idea for that what the baltov explains is that on yonipur you have to read a whole book of tim and if you did that for the next for the last 40 days and so you have two books of tim on yum kipur and two books of tim value 300 chapters which which is the numerical value of the word caper atone and forgive. So that's something very simple. It's three chapters of tim that you add that you read every day. How long it will take you? Five minutes, eight minutes. And like I told you, go to the web page. It's prepared there. You'll scroll down. You'll see all the days. Just click day one, day two, day three has everything what you need to read. But you want to add all these things. And there's a chapter of that we add in twice a day. They do it in you do it every day anyways. But nevertheless, there's little things that you want to add every day for the next 30 days. And that's your test if you are willing to to to be persistent. And then needless to say, the changes that you're going to take on yourself. Tomorrow I'll explain how you deal with the changes and how is that connected to the king of is in the field. So don't miss out because every day that you miss out will be harder to catch. So tomorrow today you're writing a list and if you don't do that don't expect success. It's a it's a path you need to walk on. I can tell you that in the last 22 years I was able to be very successful on walking on the path of change of deciding this needs to be changed. It's not good for me. It doesn't benefit me in any way. I will not fulfill my purpose. It will take me to the wrong direction. That's it. That channel needs to be cut off. And that's why I told you the first three years of my chuva was just changing things. First was just getting rid of all my bad habits. Whether it was physical addictions that varied from cigarettes to cocaine and many other addictions, but then it was how I would talk and how I looked at people and judged people. The change was just within me. And then of course dealing with many other things. So I have a long journey of experience with how to take something in your life that is unwanted and to say I'm cutting this out of my life completely never doing it back. That's how you measure success that you're able to get rid of something. And you might have an addiction for cigarettes, other substance, alcohol or many other things. By the way, most of you are addicted to your phone. That you have to deal with uh one day or whenever you whenever you that's something that's to be deal dealt with. If you go to sleep with your phone, you have a problem because an alarm clock costs $10 in Target and that's what you needs to wake you up, not your phone. Because the second you wake up with your phone, you check your WhatsApp, your Instagram, your email, your Gmail, your what you check everything. And just by seeing the news of the day, you already lose 50% of your excitement to wake up because you start dealing already with all your problems before you even opened your eyes. Not to talk about the kipa that's in the phone. So, everybody has addictions. Everybody has weak points. Everybody has things that they need to get rid of. But I also like focusing on the habits that are not good of my characteristics. where there's being very judgmental. That's something that needs to be in the front of your mind. Yeah, I'm judgmental. And stop being judgmental. And most people how they talk, how they talk, the words they use, the the words they choose to use. And many of the times you don't even need those words. So there's many things you can change in your life that it's not necessarily something that you're so familiar with. It's if you're judgmental or not, if you are a patient or not, how you deal with people who anger you. How do you deal with with the with failures? How do you deal when things don't work your way? Do you lose your patience fast? Do you quick to anger? All these things have to go on your list. And you have to be very humble and very focused. The reason I'm telling you to do it tonight because onesh there's no there's no judgments onesh. You have to understand is like a yon kipur. So you have the opportunity to do the same act without all the the the restrictions and the the the challenges and without anything. That's why you need to do it tonight because you need to say hashem hashem make me humble. I need to write I want to be a much better person. And when you want to go to the next level, when you write on your list things that you understand that you're doing wrong that are affecting another person's life, then you're taking it to a completely different level. How you treat your kids, how you talk to your kids, how you talk to your employer, to your employee, how you talk to strangers, how do you treat your spouse, every pl in every situation, there's places to get better. In every part of your life, you need to find where you need to grow. You have issues with your wife or your husband. Don't blame the spouse. Look at yourself. Look at yourself. Maybe I'm not treating her right. Maybe I'm not giving her the right attention. Maybe I'm not looking at her giving her the compliment she needs at the moment she needs it. Don't look at you. Oh, she didn't do this and she Who cares about your problems? So what I'm telling you, I'm trying to to drill drill it in because if you don't do it, nothing will happen. I can't do it for you. I can bring you to the door. Here's the key. You need to cross the door. So if you came tonight just to nod, then continue nodding. Enjoy the refreshments. And I believe that most of you came because you wanted to hear some words that will put you on the right path. So that's these are the words like I told you tomorrow I'm going to talk about how how you do everything and then every day after that you need to tune in will be more explanations but the switch is tonight is tonight you already need to log into the website and see all the things that you need to do it's not a lot by the way it's not a lot of things that you need to add that's your test that's your first test if you're willing to do it it's all for your benefit And how persistent will you do be? And will you do it first thing in the morning or you going to do it five minutes before the sun goes down? And really it's not a lot. It's reading one chapters of proverbs every day, three chapters of from the and I have a few other things that every day and many other things. But listen, it's it's all for your benefit. You know, don't expect something to happen without you putting any effort. And tomorrow we'll already explain how to utilize it, how to break it into segments that you know how to walk on the path of success in the month of ill. And if you don't do it, I can only wish you good luck and that you have success on your path and may Hashem bless you with everything that you need. But I'm humbly telling you that if you don't do it, you're not going to go on a path of success. You're not going to come ready to Rosh Shana. You're going to come to Rosh Shana like many other people throughout the world with no knowledge or anything to do and will be another day where you dip the apple in the honey and you don't even know why you're doing that. So you choose you choose if you want to be successful in your life and I'm going to reiterate and say success is I measure my success is how many levels did I grow? I'm now looking now 11 months back and I'm going to measure how many levels I feel that I went up in this in this in this year. How does my stock look? Am I in constantly growing up? Is it like very steep going up? Is it going up and dropping all the time? Is my stock a strong stock? Or is it a wiggly stock? Falls down all the time and I need to push it. It all boils down to you want to do that because it only benefits you. You're not doing anybody a favor. You're not doing anybody a favor, but you're doing any change in your life. You're doing it only for yourself. And you stand right now in a in a fork. Where where am I turning? I'm gonna make this elul a successful month which by default will elevate you to a much higher level which by default you'll be in get better mood higher spirits you'll be more happy you'll be more relaxed you'll be more focused you'll have more energy I mean that's really what everybody wants a lot of people are focused on the wrong things if I wake up in the morning and for whatever reason I don't wake up like with like a volcano of of joy jumping out of bed. That's not going to be a good day. That's why I don't look at the phone the first hour cuz the phone brings a lot of bad news. Then a lot of messages of challenges that you're going to you're going to need to deal with. So what I rather go first, thank Hashem, pray start my day completely different. I start my day with Hashem. And days that I don't start it with Hashem, like now last month and a half I'm traveling. Not every day it's so easy. Sometimes I wake up in in situations that are not so uh 4:00 in the morning. I'm in a in a in a in a airport. So or many other situations. But when I live in when I'm in my home, then the day starts with a burst of happiness and joy because that's when you realize that Hashem gave you Shama again and you have a lot what to do. Hashem decided that you still are an employee. If he would fire you, you would wake up. Which that's another another part that one needs to focus on. We're going to talk that about that also a lot in alul how you utilize your time. Most people waste their time all day long. All all day long. And like I told you many times starts with this all day long on the phone. Look, you have to look on by the way on the list of changes that has to be on the list. how much time I'm on the phone. Does it bother you that you're on the phone five hours? Well, that maybe it doesn't. Maybe it's fine for you to see the same video over and over in Tik Tok and then share it and then reshare it and then the same junk. If that's what's, you know, makes you feel good, then the situation is worse than you understand. So to conclude first like I told you tune in tomorrow and because tomorrow is going to be the next step and you know what you know before you tune in tomorrow make your decisions tonight what do you want to do we want to finish in a minute and a half we're going to go pray so you can utilize the first part that you need to do is to pray a little bit to Hashem and thank him for what he gives to you and then you're going to go home and hopefully instead of going to Netflix or to Tik Tok. You go to your desk and you take a piece of paper and you're saying, "I'm going to take this uh journey seriously. I have 30 days." The key here is to understand that in 30 days, you have a trial. If you would have a trial in this world for something serious that will determine your future, you would do a lot of work before that trial. So that's what you need to put in the back of your mind. In a month, I'm going to a trial. I'm going to be standing in front of Hashem in my trial and the books are going to be open. All the good deeds that I did, all the bad things that I did, everything will be opened. And for 48 hours, I'm going to be judged by the master of the universe. If you don't have this much fear from that day, something's wrong with you. You have to check yourself out. If you don't have little fear from that day, worry because if you have now a a court case coming up in a few weeks for something minor, you just drove fast or something, you are afraid. You are looking for any remedy that should uh be positive energy that day. So if you're not trembling from judgment day 30 days from now, check yourself out. It's a problem. And by the way, I see a little bit quickly from the comments. I see the junk that people are writing there, but whatever. But I also somebody mentioned something about the Gentiles. Shai is for the entire world. It's not copyrighted to the Jews. Shai is for the entire world. The entire world, Jews, non-Jews, humans, animals, creatures, everything is judged that day. Everybody needs to be trembling. Everybody needs to do something. No difference now Jew or non-Jew. No difference at all. Has nothing to do with your background, your faith. Has to do with the creator of the world. Hashem didn't create the world for the Jews. That's another thing that needs to be a little bit explained better because people think that we're like God's gift to the world. Don't get that excited, okay? You're not that great. When it says that we are the chosen people, we are chosen to do a certain task. That's where it ends. So keep your yourself in check. You're not that great. So what do you need to do? Whether you want to do it right now or when you leave the room or when you turn the video off, you need to recap what I said in the last hour and a half and to make some decisions. Do I want to make a change? Is it interesting me? It's too big for me. I'll do it this much. I'll do 50%. You have to make a decision. You are now in in a situation like going into whatever a doctor shalom or some adviser that he's telling you this is your this is your options. I'm coming and telling you tonight you have two options. One option is doing ja and one option is not. That's it. Notem should be with you. Yes. Okay. So pay attention. that's you're the only one who's benefiting from it. And hopefully if you do it right, the people that surround you also will benefit from a much nicer person that knows how to treat people in a nice respectful manner and not to stipple over people if you are doing that. So what you need to do tonight is sit with yourself and make a switch. And I know it might sound not familiar to you. This is a normal thing on a daily active of a a normal ease is to find five minutes or 10 minutes a day to think of your behavior. Do introspection. Do chuva. Think of what you did. Think of what you didn't do. You need to do that every night on kayach malamita. By the way, what I'm telling you now is not like a one-time thing. Once every 25 years, this needs to be done every night. Whether it's on your bed before you do the bedtime schma or five minutes before you go to bed or an hour before you go to bed, you need to find five minutes to 10 minutes, 20 minutes, do you talk to Hashem, talk to yourself, confess, I was rude today to that person. I was cheap with that person. I was impatient with this person. So you can make amends. Do and that opportunity I taught that many time on that opportunity at night, you're already deciding what's going to be your good deed tomorrow. Who are you going to be extra nice to tomorrow to grab that mitzvah of thanking Hashem when I told you before he shim the night before you're already deciding tomorrow I'm going to do this that person needs my help that person needs money this individual needs just my five minute attention to give him a smile that's it so you have to do that anyways every night you don't do that every night don't expect your stock to go up your stock will And then whatever you put out there, that's what's going to come back at you. You put a little effort, that's what you're going to get back. You put a lot of effort will come back. The same effort that you put out. So what I'm telling you to start tonight, this is something you need to acquire for the rest of your life. So when I say shin is shinui change, you making a turn. No going back. If you go back, you didn't make any change. Do you you understand what I'm saying? That's it. I'm making a change. I'm not going back. When something bothers you in your life, you don't go back there. Do you need to bring yourself to the place of understanding this bothers me, I'm changing it. Therefore, I told you to make a list and then you see what you need to deal with. If the list is 40 things, you're not going to change them in the next 30 months. in sorry in the next well 30 months maybe yeah in the third next 30 days there's not going to be much you're going to select the ones that you're going to focus on for the next 30 days and then you're going to select the ones that you're going to focus later on and what are the ones that are least important that's if you have 40 on your list which means you're very honest and very humble and you'll be successful but if you have three things on your list a little bit arrogant but if you don't do it tonight it won't work and it's something that you need to say I need to do that every night of my life. The same way that you wake up in the morning and you already programmed to brush your teeth cuz you were taught at early age that you have bad breath and germs and whatever and you need to br you're doing it in a robotic way. It's a normal thing. You wake up in the morning, you do the basic maintenance to your body. It's exact same thing. If you have the habit of brushing your teeth and hopefully you have the habit of taking a shower every couple days then you know the same way you're taking care of your body take care of your soul and take care of your personality. It's actually I can't even fathom how a person can be five hours on Instagram or Tik Tok and not take 10 minutes out of their day to sit isolate themselves from any disturbance any tri anything that triggers their mind. The phone is the biggest paro in your life. By the way, paro is the king of mit. Mit is your consciousness. Where you are, where are you stuck here? Are you stuck here? And paro is the king that is controlling. And if you switch the orders of the letters, you read it as something that disturbs you, something that bothers you. And all day long you're triggered by so many different things that take you away from what you focus on cuz you have Instagram and Tik Tok and Messenger and WhatsApp and this and Gmail and and everything. Ding ding ding ding ding ding. I don't check my messages. I don't walk around with my phone. I check my emails twice a day. That's it. I'm going to go to my phone every second and see whatever nonsense somebody sent. I set times when I check my emails, when I check my messages, I don't look at the phone when it goes because 90% of the times it's it's a waste of time. So the fact that you need to have order in your mind, that's every day. If you're not going to take that on yourself, if you I don't know how long you follow me, but I think one of the first videos that I ever put on the internet is about the bedtime that when you focus and you do it the right way, your life looks completely different. You take responsibility for things, you know how to change things in your life, and you're not stuck in the same place. Most people that I interact with, they're stuck in the same place for 5 years, 10 years, 15 years. don't know how to get rid of their junk, don't know how to move forward. They're already losing all their patience, losing their hope, losing any type of something to hold on and you one of them, most of you. So, you have an opportunity now to to change your path, but it requires a lot a lot of guts, a lot of nerves. It requires to pull it off. If you won't, then it's not going to change. jump in the water like an action. That's that's the solution. Hashem puts an obstacle in your life. Same way that the nation of Israel went out of mit. The obstacle was the ocean. What? You got us out of mit, dear God. You taking us through the desert seven days. Now you're putting an ocean in front of us. What do you want us to take from that? That's how Hashem operates. He takes you out of your place of discomfort and then he brings you a greater challenge. You're like, "Why? You took me out of Mim to find now the ocean." Yeah. That Hashem tells you now jump in the water. Show some faith. But you don't believe in me. Not me. Hashem. Hashem tells you, "You don't believe in me. You don't know how to jump into the water. Don't you think I'll save you? Be an action. Jump in the water." That's the bravery you need to have tonight or tomorrow, the next day that you're saying this, this, and this I'm changing in my life. And by the way, most likely we're going to summarize it tomorrow or the next day that you're going to work on one things that you're changing. If you can take on yourself three, four, great. But normally you focus on one big change and very small one and and you you work on that. But the point is that tonight is your key. So tonight you need to find I'm not joking and if you discount what I'm saying, it's not going to work. It's going and if it work will be much harder. You need to find 10 15 minutes with yourself. No phone, no distractions, no par, no WhatsApp beeping every two seconds or your Instagram or whatever. Just you, you and Hashem. Sit with yourself and think and you ask yourself how happy I am with my life. And many will say, I'm very happy with my life, but I still have challenges. A lot of people will say, I'm not so happy with my performance. I wish in this department I would be much better. I wish that in the patience department I had much more patience. I wish I had you know that for many many years now I really really don't have time but for many years I used to help couples that that have schlumb issues didn't work out and usually how I would work I would bring them both to the same room sitting next to each other next to me and then ask first one of them to tell what bothers them and then the other and see what they say and the next session meet each one separately and I'm not exaggerating one person was ancept ception all the rest in that part of the process only had bad things to say about their spouse one person and I'm talking about in a spam of like maybe 10 years spam not like two people dozens of couples one person in that time when I sat him in individual without the wife all he had to say that he is impatient he loses his anger he doesn't know how to show love He he the only person all the rest was she and he and he's lazy and she does this and she all complaining on the other. Nobody took responsibility. Nobody took responsibility. I am the problem. Tonight you have to take responsibility and say and saying I am a problem. I want to change this this and this. And tonight you don't have to think much. Just make the list. Tomorrow I'll elaborate more because some things that you change are bad habits. Some and they're physical and they're not so easy to get rid of. Some things are your behavior which that should be in a pretty high priority. The other department is your characteristics. The other department is your how how much I fear God and what do I do with what God tells me. There's many different departments. You just need to be now writing everything in a clear way. Things that bother you. If you can't do that, I don't think it will be successful for you the next 30 days. If you can't bring yourself to a place of humility for 10 minutes in your day to write down where you fail, you'll never become a better person. You'll never go on the path of your purpose and the result will be unhappy, unhealthy, unsuccessful. Doors of opportunity always closing your path, nothing works in your life, no happiness, no joy, etc., etc. If that's you, then do what I'm telling you. It's very simple. And what I'm telling you, it's because what I do. It's not that I'm selling you some product and telling you go figure it out. It's because I do it and I find the success and the only thing I can find is just to come and share it. So what I'm telling you is from experience, not from learning from a book and not from some theory. It's when you really want to change and when you really put on your targets positive things. My targets in life is not to make money. Hashem will decide how much money I make and what am I going to do with this money and my targets are you know I had general targets but my targets are how much can I refine myself? How much can I climb spiritually and become much more closer to Hashem? Most people, they're not close to Hashem. They don't feel Hashem in their life. They don't hear Hashem talking to them. Hashem is a stranger. It's like something. My target is how do I elevate myself? How do I fulfill my purpose? Do you even know what your purpose in life is? Most people don't even know what's their purpose. They don't Most people don't even care if they have a purpose. All they care is to have a nice car. There's nothing wrong with having a nice car, but that's fourth in line. It's not number one. It's last. After you did this, this, this, this, and this, then go for the nice car. It's nothing wrong with having nice cars, nice house, nice clothes, nice vacation. Nothing wrong with that. But that's not the the focus. My target is how do I become a much better husband? How do I become a much better father? How do I become a much better Jew in front of Hashem? How do I become a much better everything? A much better version of myself that I can look in the mirror and tap myself in the back and say, you know what, I was able to do it. It was hard, but I was able to do it and I don't break from challenges. I because I have a target. I'm locked on the target. Now, every day that I will tell you to do what I'm telling you now will be very hard. Tonight, you have a discount. It's social. That's it. And tomorrow still till tomorrow evening. What I'm telling you now will come much much easier. After tomorrow, we're starting a new journey will be much harder. Doing what I'm telling you now in 3 months harder. And like I told you before, the only one who benefits and gains from that is only you. You're not doing a favor to anyone. You're not doing a favor to Hashem. You're not doing a favor to anyone in your life. Only to yourself. So next thing after you go home tonight and make yourself a list is that you in your mind preparing yourself by saying I I want to make a change. If I don't want to make the change, it's not going to happen. And when you ask yourself why do I need a change? Because when you're not going on the right path and things don't work and you're not doing the right thing, Hashem wants you to figure it out by yourself. By the way, Hashem doesn't want you to he's he's not going to send you a message. By the way, you're not so successful there. You're not going to get that. Hashem wants you to figure it out by yourself. He wants you to bring yourself to a place of humility where you see your own fault. You admit your own fault and you're searching to fix it. And that's where Hashem will help you do it. If you don't have Hashem's help, it won't work. But you you are required to bring yourself to that place. And the only way to do it is if you really want to get rid of whatever bad habit you have. If you really don't want to then you know do whatever little prayers that you need to do and Hashem should be with you and you want to desire that. If you don't desire the change in your life, if you're not fed up with the situation, it's then you're not going to be inspired to do anything. You need to despise already the bad situation in order to make the switch in your mind. At this point, not only that I'm going to wish you success in your new path, I'm also going to tell you and prompt you if you wanted to be successful, then you need to follow now every day the short or the long teachings that I'm going to give and post. And the way for you to do it, I I can't cater it more than just put it on social media. So if you not following any of the platforms then whatever you choose whatever platform that uh that you like and the videos and the information will be posted there. Now videos are not so easy to be posted on platforms like like Instagram the short ones maybe you want to do it the right way. It's all going to be on the website and the notifications come through email or WhatsApp or other media. But my recommendation is if you want to go through these 30 days and be successful and go into Shah that you're feeling that's it this sh not going with the thought of this sh I'm going to get money and I'll find my other half and everything will work out in my life. No, no, no. That's not the attitude that I'm going into shah clean. Hashem will decide what he wants to give me. If Hashem wants to give me money, he'll give me money. Hashem wants me to find my my future wife. He will put her in front of me. It's not the right time. She won't be in front of me. It won't be the time. You need to understand what are your priorities. Don't put on your uh on your list stupid priorities. Put the right priorities. And again, I'm repeating it over and over. It's all for your benefit. You want to get to a point that when you wake up in the morning, even if you're completely broke and you're single and everything in your life is not working out for you, but you wake up in the morning happy with a smile on your face and you're calm because you know Hashem has you. He has control of the situation. The bad is a challenge. The difficulties it's my spiritual growth flatters. The life doesn't always have to be good. you look, it's how you look at life. If you whine and complain because life is not going in the path you want, that's when you completely don't see what Hashem is doing for you. When Hashem putting some speed bumps in your life, he's just helping you grow. It's all how you look at things. But again, tonight you do the right switch in your mind, Hashem opens up in the next month for you opportunities that you unless you experience it in the past, then it's hard to believe. But do it once in your life. I had many aluls in my chuva probably about 21 22. I know how the year came after based on my work in alul when my work during the month of alul was high performance the entire year later was very good year very successful year of achievements years of jumping in spiritual levels I'm not talking about money right now not talking about other you know basic things talking about success that I'm what I've been talking for the last two hours and when I back. It's easy to look back and make a a calculation. To look forward, you can, but to look back. So, I can tell you the years where ul I had high performance, making sure that I'm praying three times a day in quietly, patiently, giving charity every day, learning Torah, reading my tim proverbs, this that doing being proactive. Every time my alul was very good, the whole next year was successful. I saw my stock going up very very high and years that my alul was like eh then I saw the next whole year the performance was low and like I told you 50 million times I don't measure the success how much money I have in my bank account. That's daily challenges. Everybody has that. You'll never get rid of that even if you have a lot of money. you grow, you have more money, you have more responsibilities, more things to worry about, and the expenses become with more zeros. So, it's not that when you have a lot of money, you don't have issues. I know very rich people when the you owe a h 100,000, they owe 100 million. It's the same idea. And money is not everything in life. It's kind of like part one of the the last things in life. My my my how I see things in I don't run after what I need. I let Hashem bring it to me. I do what I was supposed to do. I have responsibilities. I have to serve Hashem. I work for Hashem. You too, by the way. I first have to fulfill my obligations. Wherever Whatever Hashem wants to give me, thank you. I don't run after nonsense. It's a waste of time. You're not going to get it. Focus on what you need to do. Hashem is going to bring to you whatever you need. Delivery straight to your door. Amazon Prime right away. not have to don't have to work too hard. Hashem will bring you your money. He will bring you your wife. He will bring you your kids. He will bring you everything you need. Well, you your husband. Okay? So, I can't stress enough how powerful tonight is. If I had the words to explain it, I would somehow explain to you, don't miss out. Don't don't don't miss out. You already made the effort to come. You're already logged in. Some of you are writing free Palestine over and over. I don't even know what it's got to do with it. It's nonsense. We're talking about spiritual growth and some idiots. Free Palestine. Okay, I'll free Palestine. Okay, I can't stress if I would be able to choke you now and tell you take advantage of this night. Not that free Palestine that I will choke too. They're very brave behind the screens. Come and tell it to my face. I want to see. But nevertheless, forget about that. This is just p disturbing. But if I would be able to somehow explain to you how valuable tonight and tomorrow is and how valuable the next three 30 days and how huge of a change you can make in your life that will completely change the path of your life. I can look back and say sometimes I made a little decision in my life that I made a little change down the line completely different place where I ended up and that's where you want to be. Hashem is guiding you. Go to the to the place where you are going to be the most happy. I'm telling you measure your successes. How many days in the last year were happy days? You can't remember that right now unless you have a very good memory or unless most of the days were miserable. But the fact is try to measure how many days was good energy and happy and productive and I was in good energy and how many days then not. That's it. That's your indication where you holding. If most of your days you wake up with good spirits and you're motivated and you have inspiration and you're not bothered by the challenges and it doesn't bring you down, no, those are good days. And the days that you wake up no no energy, no joy, no happiness, you don't want to get out of bed, you don't feel motivated to do anything, you're not like this all day. It's not stuff happening to you. There's a reason. And now the question is what are you going to do about it? That's it. That's where I end. Now it all depends on you. I mean I can shove it down your throat as much as I can. Very few people get it and do it. So I hope you're going to be the very few people who get it and do it. And uh it's like I said before for your benefit. So, first thing you need to do is you go home tonight, you turn the video off with the free Palestine and all that junk and and you sit with yourself and you're saying, "How do I want my next year to look? How do I want to wake up in the next every day of my life? What is the sacrifice that I'm willing to do from tonight to gain from that a much better lifestyle?" If you're not asking these questions and writing clear answers, that's what you have to do tonight. Tomorrow we'll talk about how you start applying it and in what volume and how much. But the next thing you need to do tonight is go tomud.org/tour, not tour and just read all the instructions and whatever you need to do daily prayers and and Torah learning. I made it easy. You click a button, you'll find it there in English and in Hebrew. You don't have to work hard. It's organized for you every day. And then you are challenged and you're going to be tested how persistent you're going to be with that small decision. I'm not telling you now to read three. You know there are many people who learn Torah in a very deep way ones the 40 days of the month of tillim they learn three Baba Mitsy Baba and Baba Batra 400 pages altogether 10 pages a day not telling you now to go and learn 10 pages of a day that's not going to happen to most people telling you to read three chapters of tim that you can handle Right? And a chapter of Proverbs you can handle. Go ahead and a few other things. Show Hashem that you're willing to give sacrifice that you're sacrificing your time right now. You're sacrificing your whatever situation you're in. But when you don't show it to Hashem, why would he give you the the the the fuel to do it? You do it in small scale, it will be successful in a larger scale. So the next thing you need to do is go and familiarize yourself with what do you need to do now for the next month. every day these small additions and you will see that when you decide to do that there'll be a a there'll be a resistance with that you take on yourself to say the three chapters of every day and every day changes of course if you have it in your sidul great if not go to the website but you'll see you have a yet with that first few days you'll say it good in the morning the next few days it will be already in the afternoon the next few days already it's in the late afternoon when you see it's in the evening then you know that it's I'm just a matter of time before you stopping. That's your chest. You test your persistence in very small measure, not in a big measure. And you persistently do this little small change. And that's it. And then you tune in for tomorrow, whether you come live or you see it live on the phone or you go to YouTube right after and catch the lecture. And then you have to be a good student and apply. And then the the next day and the next day will come more and more instructions. Just follow you do that and you do it the right way then I can already promise you and guaranteed to you'll have next year will be a good year. It doesn't mean that everything that you want will happen, but you'll you'll grow from your difficulties and you'll find yourself a year later looking back and saying, "I'm a much better person, much more successful, much more focused, much more targeted, much more calm, patient, happy, loving, giving, and more and more." That's where you want to get to. You want to get that person that only is in the motion of giving. Most people don't see that as a benefit. They see that as a burden, but they don't understand that when you're constantly in the motion of giving. Your energy is projecting. You can't take anything. So, you don't get the toxins of anybody around you. You don't get affected by the dirt, spiritual, emotional, and physical around you cuz you constantly ejecting a positive motion. Nothing. You know, take a pipe of water. The water is going this direction. You can't push the water that direction right now. I taught that many times. You know, when you're going to do your uh your tests for rabbitical ordination, there's different topics. One of the topics it's called salting. And you have a whole section that you learn and you and you need to be familiarized. How do you cauter the pieces of meat after it was slaughtered? And it's very basic. You take the pieces of meat and you put salt on it. And the salt pulls the blood out of the meat. That's it. It absorbs the blood because we're not allowed to eat the blood. The nephesh, the lowest part of the soul of the animal is in the blood. And when you're eating it with the animal's soul in the blood, then you become that animal. Your character traits are animalistic. Your desires are animalistic. Your behavior is animalistic. Animalistic. Why? Because you ate an animal that the soul, the nephish is still there. Therefore, kosher meat is recommended for everyone. I recommend also my my gentile followers to eat kosher meat because you take the nephish out of the piece of meat. So when you eat that, you don't get the character trait of an animal. So the question in Alaka is when you capture a lot of pieces of meat, you know, you have 20 cows, 40 cows, a whole slaughter house. Where do you put the meat? What do you need like a football field to spread all the meat? So what do you do? You put piles of meat. One pile after the other. You put a piece of meat, salt. A piece of meat, salt. And you have a pile of 40 pieces. The question in the oral law, what happens if one of the pieces is not kosher? The slaughter was not done right. The animal suffered or whatever. The piece is not kosher. What do you do? You have a question. You have to go to the rabbi. Now I have 40 pieces here. One is not kosher. It stuck between. Did it make all 40 pieces not kosher? Do I throw all four pieces to the garbage? The question the the answer is very simple. Anything that is occupied with projecting out with ejecting. Right now the meat is occupied with ejecting the blood out. Once something is occupied with ejecting, nothing can come in. So it can't get the uncoser taste of the other pieces of the meat. Therefore, you take that piece out, throw it to the garbage, and that's it. And everything's fine. But everything in the oral law has a mystical much more deeper meaning to that. That's the pardes, the orchard, the the the four levels how the Torah can be looked upon. So, this particular concept is the Torah telling you you are constantly occupied with the giving motion. You're not going to absorb nothing from outside. Not the bad energy of people, not the toxins of other people, not the impurity that is around you for many different reasons. You are you're guarded. All the junk doesn't come in. There's a lot to do. And as I said many times, what counts is the action, not the nodding and not saying yes and not the promising and not the in your mind, I'll do this and I'll do that. Is the action counts. Do an action. You didn't do an action. You didn't do nothing. Talk is cheap. Don't talk. As they say here in America, walk the walk. Do it. So tonight you have an opportunity. I gave enough information. Go see the video again and again and again till it resonates in your mind. If it doesn't resonates, it resonates in your minds and watch it 50 times. But I already delivered what you need to do. You take to to any direction you want to use it. It's free. free to use. So you have a lot more to do tonight and then you have to tune in tomorrow or come physically tomorrow to get the next dose and the next day the next dose. So you obviously have to continue following wherever you want YouTube, WhatsApp, but if you don't follow, it's not I'm not going to come and knock on your door. You have to come and and initiate. And all is left for me is to wish you tremendous success in everything that you're about to do. >> Amen. And that hashem should bless you that this month should come easy. And they should should should have the the clarity and seeing exactly what you need to refine, exactly what you need to work on. That Hashem should give you the energy and the k and the power to wake up in the morning with the desire to to change to bring that change and to give you the energy to control it. And if you do everything that I told you, Hashem will do that for you. I know it might look like a burden. That's the softening the the the system. Do what I told you and many other things. And you'll see that down the line, it's just going to be your benefit. So I bless you that everything that you need in order to serve Hashem in the best way possible that Hashem should bless you both in the in the physical level and the spiritual level and your emotional level that Hashem should allow you to reach to the levels that you need to to grow to and bring you to your true purpose that you live your life a happy productive life and you're walking on your path of your purpose and with a huge smile on your face. Doesn't matter how bad the situation is. Doesn't matter how bad things go. Doesn't matter how you feel neglected. Always have a smile on your face. You know how I measure my year or my days or like I said before my success is if I had any days throughout the year that I felt that Hashem was not shining upon me. If you wake up sad, depressed or you feel lost and abandoned and confused and no advice and nothing works in your life and what the translation to that to many people is that Hashem abandoned me. Why is Hashem not helping me? What am I asking? I'm not asking much. Why is Hashem making it so difficult? A lot of people complain. I don't like these complaints. Hashem didn't do anything. You you are the master of your own your own junk. But it translated to many people, why is Hashem neglecting me? If you have many of these days, that's the warning that you need to take to consideration. And if you don't have much of these days and you feel that even with the difficulties, Hashem is with you, then you're in a much more better path. But I can't stress enough how important it is. I can't stress enough how how much you need to take care take advantage of this opportunity. I'm doing it myself. I take everything that I learn and I apply it to myself. I also want to get to the next level. I also want to refine myself. I also want to achieve new goals. I also I'm not different than any other person. And I don't think that I reach to to my level where I need to be. I know I still have a long way to go up, but I'm proactive and throughout the way like I told you with a smile and but trust me, I have a lot of challenges in my life. My life is not an easy life. I wouldn't change it to any any other person. But my life is full of challenges, full of difficulties. Nothing is different between me and you. I also have to pay my mortgage by the way. I also have bills to pay. For me, electricity is not free. And I also have seven kids to educate. I also have tuitions to pay and dress them and clothe them and educate them. Nothing's different between me and you. I also have a lot of challenges, but I don't look at it as a challenge. I look at it as these are my steps that I need to go on to grow. That's it. Money is always going to be a challenge. Raising your kid, 30-year challenge. Don't look at it. No, it's a challenge every day. You need to you need to be there for them. You need to have the right mindset. You need to treat them the right way. You need to be humble to see how your kids behave. And you know, my kids are my best teachers. I have seven kids. I learned so much about myself and what I need to do by looking at my kids' behavior. Most parents are they think that the kids owe them anything or something. No, your kids don't owe you nothing. I mean, they do, but but a smart parent looks at the kid and learns so much from the kid. So listen, I can talk for another five hours, but I want to stop and I want you to get busy and we're going to pray now. And after Arvit, I'm going to kindly ask you not to hold me too long. I have to be available early in the morning. We're going to have for the local ones a few more lectures in the next two weeks. You'll be able to see me many other occasions. Hopefully, you'll come and uh get your chance for uh whatever you are interested in. And uh like I told you, I can't stress enough how powerful tonight is. Take advantage. Do what you need to do. Give it your best shot. Even if you feel it's too much, even if you feel it's hard, even if you feel throughout the way you're not making it, you're missing days, don't don't give up. Give it the best you can in the next 30 days. I guarantee to you if you give the best you can, even if you don't find success, even if you fail, but you give the best and you have the desire to to do everything, I guarantee to you, Hashem is going to bless you. Hashem is going to open all the paths to you. Hashem is going to bless you with an amazing ear and will give you what you need to do what you need to to to receive to grow. But you just need to do that effort. Hashem will bless you with everything that you need. I wish you again all of you and success in everything that you do. And with your permission, we're going to pray now. And after that, if there'll be time, we'll do a little bit more. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Rainbow
