Inaugural Start of Chofetz Chaim Yomi - Intro: We Are Reeling In Galus & It's Our Fault {Day 1}

Okay, good morning everyone. So from 9 to 9:15 we learn Mishna which is a very li the says that if somebody has limited amount of time learning is the most important limud it takes precedence over anything. He also says that uh a person has to learn uh muser every day and has really two parts to it. We're going to be starting with the but there's also a called and on the back of my addition it brings from the Manchester that there is no family that learns that won't experience some form of Yeshua but of course our main kavana is to learn it to be zah here in the inim and the already in the the promises a person. Okay, we begin with blessed is Hashem the God of Israel that he separated us from all the nations. He gave us his he brought us into the holy land so that we can merit to fulfill all the mitzvah cuz a Jew could only fulfill all 613 mitzvah in Israel outside of Israel. We're severely limited. There are many mitzvah we can cannot be. And why did Hashem give us the Tory and bring us into why does he want us to fulfill the mitzvah? The is for our benefit so that we can be holy to him like the says and we say it three times a day in we say it twice a day in so that you remember and perform all the and you will be holy to Hashem because by by being all 600 3 mitzv it sanctifies our 613 parts 248 limbs 365 senus and if we sanctify our whole entity we will be holy we will have the capacity to receive the influence of hashem's goodness and his abundant kindness in this world and in the next world in other words always is mashia to on us. The thing is we have to be receptical. In order to be receptical, we have to be sanctified. In order to be sanctified, we have to keep all the mitzvah. So we have to be receptical in this world and in the next world. Like the says what does Hashem ask of you? He only asks of you to fear him to keep the mitzvah and his statutes that I command you today that it should be good for you. Now there are two ways to read the P. You may mistakenly read the P. Hashem asks you to keep the Tory. By the way, if you keep the Tory, things will be good for you. No. Wrong. That's not what the PK means. It doesn't mean Hashem asks you to keep the Tory. And if you do, by the way, things will be good for you. What it means is Hashem asks you to keep the Tory so that it should be good for you. It's not that Hashem has an agenda. He wants you to keep the Tyra. And by the way, if you do what he says, things will be good. No, he only asks it of you for your benefit. Look there in the commentary that when it says that when it says so that it should be good for you, it's going on the beginning of the Hashem asks it of you in the first place. It's not enough that he gave us his desire. He also asks us not to abandon it. Like the says, "I gave you a good merchandise. Do not forsake my Tory." This is different than a human interaction. Most people, you give someone a gift and they're not treating it properly. You say to yourself, "Okay, good. I'm coming back to take it back. I'm going to take it back." Not like a flesh and blood. You give your friend a good gift. And your friend is not according himself properly with it and he doesn't cherish the gift. The giver is yearning. When will my friend completely relinquish the gift so I can take it back? That is not how Hashem operates. Hashem established for us in every generation in the times of the first prophets to bring us back to the good path. In other words, Hashem gave us a gift and he doesn't let us abandon it. And he sends the Jewish people leaders to ensure we don't abandon it. Even times of the second that the state of the Jewish people plummeted because there are many sins from its original sanctity. We know in times of we're missing five things that we had in the bay. We're missing five things we had in the bay. By the way, what are the says they are? You remember my pneummonic aer spelled with three olives dash it from the ins but even times of the second even though we were missing these five things but still we were on our And we had the BD. We still had the capacity to fulfill all 613 mitzvah. We had the capacity to fulfill all 613. Thereby by fulfilling all 613, we were able to complete, rectify, sanctify all components of our soul. Because the nephesh also has 248 limbs and 365 spiritual senus ranim. So the same way you have 248 physical limbs, 365 spiritual physical senus, you also have corresponding to that spiritual counterparts. Look in the however like I pointed out usually the daily learning is a bit shorter but the intro we just have to cover a little bit of ground in the end of the second mdash basid hatred and slander prevailed because of this the mdash was destroyed the gal We were exiled from our land. By the way, I want to tell you that if you live in America, you're living in Gulos. Did you know that America is not the promised land or wherever you may be only? So even if you live in a place where there are many kosher pizza stores, still you're still in g just wanted to point that out. Now the here has a that nobody says because you learn the simple gar the garra seems to say that the bdash was destroyed because of the gar doesn't say one word about lash. You know that the garum says why was second base mdash destroyed because of sinam. So where did the get this whole book from that the base of mdish was destroyed because of lash. He made it up based on the following compelling argument. Look at this. You would glance over this. Even though the garra says based because of baseless hatred, it doesn't mean baseless hatred. You hear this says the garra says destroyed because of baseless hatred. And says it doesn't mean that it means because of also which emanates from hatred. Why? Otherwise, we would not have been punished so severely. It's not reasonable that God would have destroyed the Bikdash because of it's not a severe enough sin. It's a shame by how could Hashem destroy Bam. It's a small sin. The answer is the root of the Russian. You hear this the entire worldview is based on the is not severe enough to cause destruction based. That's why the garra concludes listen carefully the garra says was destroyed because of the cardinal sin three cardinal sins was destroyed because of from here we see is equal to the three cardinal sins but we know that the says is equal to the three cardinal sins is that when the garra says is equal to the three cardinal sins it's not really just talking about it means means that's another um ironclad support to the thesis of that the doesn't mean only we find this further over there is the mdash the gar has by the bias. Did they get along? They also spoke. So you see it's that means. So basically because of from then and on from then until today every single day we yearn we pray that he should draw us close as he promised in his holy and through his prophets and our not received. like say from the day that from the day the temple was destroyed. There's an iron wall between us and God. So even though we call out to him multiple times a day, still our felit are not accepted. Why? Because there's an iron wall between us and Hashem. By the way, we happen to point out Even though the said there could be a situation where there's an iron wall, it still gets through. It still gets through. But still, it's obviously been very difficult because it's already 2,000 years. One more paragraph. The MS. The truth is our complaint is not on heaven forbid Hashem. It's our fault. Hashem is not withholding anything. Hashem's hand is not too short from saving us. Hashem's hearing is as cute is as acute as it ever was. It is our sins that have created. And the proof is long ago Msiah could have come in the times of Levy. It's found in the Gared said today if you listen to Hashem will come. What do you mean? It wasn't even a thousand years in Galos then. It hadn't even been complete the golos that it was decreed on the Jewish people that there'll be a thousand years in the golion as the day of Hashem meaning Hashem promised we'll be in golus for a day and a day for Hashem is a thousand years and at that point in time we weren't even in a thousand years still Msiah would have come say we needed to be in a thousand years but nevertheless would have abolished the decree and we would remain. We would have been redeemed and Messiah would have come a long time ago even though we wouldn't have been in Goss a thousand years. Certainly in our times today we've already been in Galos more than 800 years past a thousand years. It's more than 800 years since the thousand years have been up. The problem is us. We don't let Hashem return. So we call out to Hashem, Hashem, build the base amdos. And Hashem says, "Pal, I want to. You don't let me." Have a good day, everyone. Recording stopped.
