Rav Chaim Filagi Reveals The Amazing Opportunity of the First 12 Days After Simchas Torah

There's [snorts] an amazing tradition cited by in the likewise brought by the in the sourced inas of sukus that the minog [clears throat] of righteous saintly people is to sanctify themselves in the days After simra in the 12 days after Yamt corresponding to the 12 months of the year they gather into their homes during these 12 days they review their learning each person according to their level and it's a sugula to have tremendous for one's entire life from the beginning of the year until the end of the year and that everything you do should be successful whether in Torah or in righteousness or in business And the [clears throat] writes, now [clears throat] it's interesting what exactly is this idea that the 12 days after the of sukus is almost a new beginning. What you do in these 12 days will establish how your whole year will be. These days are like a new start, a new batious. And in fact this shabas we lame boracious actually this shabas is called shabas it's not just a convenient name it's brought in the marel the maril writes shabas who because we begin to read berious it's also brought in the now [clears throat] at first glance it's very logical we lane batious so it's called shabas but we don't name any other week of the year after the para that we read. We don't name the shabas that we read no shabas no. So why would the week be named after the para? But there's a very important idea. The idea is the reading of a para affects the time of the year. For example, ink of he brings from the not to be confused with the z ofi. He says that on Friday paras individuals were no to fast because 20 cartlo of were burnt in Fr in France. They did not establish the fast based on the day of the month but rather based on the day of the week because they made and they were told the day of the reading of the para because that chabas they would read which the says. So they recognize the para caused this to happen. So there's an idea the para affects the reality of the time. Likewise, since this week we read boracious, this week is seared as a new beginning. It becomes a new beginning because we read boratious. Even though it's three and a half weeks into the year, it's not the beginning of the year. No, we're reading the beginning of the Tory. It gives a newness, a freshness to this time of the year. So the 12 days after sukis are a newerious each day corresponds to another month of the year. Therefore, it's a new start again. Not just Rashashana, not just Yum Kipper, not just Hasha, but also the 12 days after the of Sukus. We have 12 days to restart, to reignite, to begin again to be able to start the Tory again like never before with new enthusiasm and freshness. Wishing everyone a successful upcoming season.
