Whatever it is, I first I first want to express there's tonight begins the last day of it's a precious month. It's a precious month. A person could be a person could there's that a person could reach sincerity and sweetness on there's no we're not people we're not people who like a a little of a big thing a piece of eternity is not there's no measurement for a piece of eternity had big on a little it wasn't like at least to a had a whole had a whole and a big light of the value of a little a little of eternity. There's no like there's no there's no numbers to a little of eternity. Eternity is forever is big. In the sou of mitzvah in the s of service of hashem there's no drip somebody beamis for a minute of like is mish nice to his wife is sweeter it's more like he's more he's a little more taps in to that we have an isama that wants to give and provide his mish like hugs his kids a little tighter tonight for a minute tomorrow like a drip more patience a drip more for a minute of lol is is is a big thing that the whole Indian of preparing this tremendous anybody reads the Torah how much value he has to the of he prescribes a third of aus happens from rash so you have you have the Indian of forash the person nobody should feel like we could use if we have two minutes of two minutes of a big thing and there's a school there's a school that it's easier to connect to Hashem during and a person tonight was sitting to and to sit it's not it's not the intensity thing that maybe we thought when we were kids it's not it's a it's opportunity it's opportunity and person I'm I'm happy to sit tonight. Tonight we have we always have the always we get many times to sit Thursday night but the frat that it's we could learn together and is a precious thing I wanted to share I already shared with with Relli with my we learned it today I want to talk a little bit more about this Indian for a few minutes it's on my heart we're coming to Rashashana so I want there's an Indian I want to talk about there many aspects There the many aspects of imashem I want to speak about this I was learning I was learning a safer today that quoted this mitzia I saw brings this in I was learning I I came by way of a different safer but I saw ra brings this mitzah as well so I wanted to share I was very taken and it will be a good starter for the discussion I want to have with the kra the garba It's a remarkable if a guy is from his friend. So I take a field from my friend and I promise to to pay him profits. I b it's your field yet. I get the field from YTS and I'm going to give you from the profits of the S. If the field gets in the in the area where this field is and there's a big floods, big storms and all the crops get ruined. So I don't owe you its money because you can't say it's my masle that caused it because it was a makina of the in that areas got ruined. So it's not a personal it's not a personal my masle if my field is the only one that got ruined yet could say kish pay me up I got ruined that's your masle was but if all the sus or at least of the sadis in that area got flooded so I say I don't have to pay you the field didn't produce ask the following shilar [clears throat] wants to know if y gives me rash to plantum it's a it's a wheat field and he says kaish dil plant wheat and then I'll owe you a certain amount of money and I breached our contract instead of planting wheat I plant he told me to plant wheat I plant and then a floods come and destroy of the wheat and barley so the shil do you say that that since flood ruined it. Who cares if it was or what's the difference if I I planted the wrong thing. I didn't plant what I told you I would plant whatever I would have planted. There was flooding and it got destroyed. So I don't know yet. That's one side of or do we say I want to read the lash beautiful perhaps could say to me if you would have planted wheat the would have happened the Somebody makes there's the inabs rashi explains that say to me I'll read the rash says what a person asks from he does at the beginning of the year for so could say to me the says and you planted if you would have planted would have been answered. cuz I d into Hashem that I should be successful in my gave me the field wants my success because I'm going to have to pay him and yet told me to plant and so and we pass in this way the says I owe the money I the whole country had a had flooding had storms had weather that produce didn't grow. Yet could say to me, I told you to grow and I dive into God. I dive into and if you would have planted, Hashem would have listened to my amazing. The question is that that that that asks and anybody who learns this gamar really asks is the p the gumar quotes it it the gar could have just said that it brings the in that says is the and the says this the why does bring that who said here it's but it says any why does it quote by the way it could have just quoted very interesting that it doesn't just say could easily doesn't need a this which is it should have said could say and I want to be honest that doesn't say about brings the that I was but the it brings is a that in the says for the says So anybody who learns the gur and you know the garis why does it quote says that onashid extra powerful there's a tremendous onash and that the whole that we don't do. The whole of the ise wants us. If we're asked to be wants me, he wants our asked to be. And that's the whole place we tap into. I don't do I come in and I get to what I am. I'm here to be and we ask in this way. What do you mean? I was that theim should work. I was so Hashem would have listened to my and you planted something else. So you have to pay me. Now what I what I want is it's amazing doesn't mean he adds that you could ask what you're telling you're talking I don't need a >> yeah it would have been like it's not like a I can't make you pay and that's why he quote why they quote maybe it's not maybe of is I can make you pay I didn't do you should have to pay me I was the should work now what I want to speak to the about what I want to talk to my friends I want to talk and this is there's so many aspects to rash sh but I want to say I want us all to dive in rash shana but I want to say everybody's is aware of desire and desire describes and desire is famous and we learn about desire and it creates like sh by us all. Desire famously said people act like dogs that they say have one give, give, give me food, take care of my children. And the zire famously says calls bait rash people act like dogs and famously the z likes mocks people sitting there praying for things in rash and then I'm coming and describing the prayers of rashash. So, so how do we sin? We're going to we're recognize that we have a place in that that we're part of that we're part of it. He asks me to be means that my in my corner and my station significant but now I'm gonna I'm presenting about the power of and this amazing that's like awesome that's maybe they should do it in the do we gather together and we finish till 10 times 15 times the whole yeshiv it's it could take a half hour in a larger does it it's not long we give out pieces of tillum 10 capital 10 then we finish till many times and very powerful time of but how do we how do we handle the coming of a time of care is hashem a time where where this sadic on a simple. So what how do we reconcile this this that says call that so selfish of they scream like they're so selfish a day when you're thinking about that you act so selfish give me give me give me you're so busy with self desire makes fun here I'm sitting the last day and being let's pray. We have a big we're we're we're going to dive in. So I'm asking what's what's happening here. I even want to express that the M is so beautiful that we say to each other after I love the Berlin they answer they express to me it's clear that the the the whole is the the would bring people by by the Reb would send out aim to blow the there was a tremendous for the mitzvah of the brought many many yidd yearly he was spending collecting y and would bring tons of y to by they go out and blow the tremendous important in the whole sound of the means you're part of being means you're part of this and counts and important in there tons of stories of the prayer of the simple one that changed the whole den and they're busy with these stories is because the gasha that every is necessary and is needed and is wanted as important that's even the we give to each other you should be written that's how we see each other on on on rashash night and I'm asking that the sadikim let's utilize to be mispo but then we bump into desire who says are like dogs that are just so selfish that only I want to say three things about desire he's saying something the first thing is I want to share from the push to pray on a lot for your needs he said for your physical needs Not just so he said I desire. So the said about this that we say we say in we said there three words that are very big and it's important to remember this the whole year and you could watch people that two ways of we say I'm going to say the way he words it and then I want to say what it means to me like how I hear it The bar says when you dive into Hashem that we want things d for Hashem because you know you want to give it to me. So you're being selfless barks and dabs for himself. You're dabbing for your needs because Hashem wants to give it to you. Now I want to express it's complicated. I really really want it. What am I supposed to say? I'm I'm ask I know you want to give it to me. I want to express how you have to dabble to Hashem and what learned desire the way I understand it. What's he saying to me? D for all your needs because Hashem wants to give it to you. I think this huge direction in the words. There's some people who dive into Hashem, they're like fighting with Hashem. THEY'RE LIKE, "HASHEM, STOP WHAT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE hurting me so much. You have to stop this. I can't handle it. And they're like fighting with Hashem. The bar said that that's like a dog. A dog barks and and like fights with screaming at the says what the dog is saying I need and knock it off. That's what that's what the hears in the bark of the dog says the when a person dabs to Hashem. Hashem's the tata. I know you want good for me and the maybe you even you have I I don't understand give me what wants I know you want my goodness just give the goodness that you know you want for us the whole of you'reing to the one who you know I know you want to give me good Iish note I want to say this I want to say this I watch youngsters teenagers sometimes have difficulties with parents What's so painful, what's so hard in the whole conversation is the parents want goodness for the kid. Mameish. Mameish. That doesn't mean they're always doing it the right way and understand the kid. But mameish mameish. A parent just unconditionally unconditional love is not a it's a truth. Even a father I'm not into this unconditional love thing. Bologoney. You're insulted by your kid. You're out of touch with being a father. It's not a to unconditional love. It's a truth. We love our kids. I My kid behaves, does I love him. It's not a There's no sheet. I just know the truth. I'm a father. My kids behave doesn't behave. I become more of a father. Nonsense. It's ridiculous. I'm insulted. I'm embarrassing the neighbors. Others act and say they're true. Has nothing to do with my love of my kid. When I'm honest and truthful, a tata loves his child. And a father wants good for his child. It's so painful when parents and children are not seeing eye because the father wants the goodness for his son. Mameish. It's true. But mameish wants it. When you dive into understand wants your goodness in three key words the says the one who wants us to have all the goodness in the world. And the said and it's the first appeal I want to make to the on the day that we get to the place in us that we just want to do and saying you want and I'm asking the power I'm asking but I'm asking wants our goodness. Now the does say I'm asking for you if you have that is the you want our goodness. It's a different type of prayer. It physically sounds there's not a kell that's barking. It physically sounds different. And there are people who's who dive into Hashem and an it sounds like they're fighting trying to pull something out as if and not understand the Tata you want our goodness tat I know you want for us let's let's talk let's talk a Tata wants for his kids in that that's what the said all the three crucial words that you want this hashem that's one the second I want to express to this response to the avarks is selfish for your friends needs for your spouse for your children for others needs the only selfishly for other that that's not a kell at all no kell barks for somebody else the whole z is about somebody who's busy only with themselves where we're on and the day that we're for others needs there. So there's a lot of needs of there's no threat of being a kell when you're talking about somebody else. The whole zire is like your mayu somebody who's like busy. They're so busy with themselves. You're going on some famous that's for somebody else. The whole zire of a kella that's crying the gay somebody who davs for themselves and only adab for others. That's the second point I want to make. And the third point is is is the most important thing to me that I want to say to the most I think all three things what I want to express the most of the third thing brings out the deepest whenever you brings this out brings out what are you saying what do you want you're talking to Hashem what are you saying what do you want brings that out because you're expressing what you want it clarifies and you Ask people always ask what could they d him for this guys could I d him for the muin what you're really asking is what's the you could d you're talking to hashem but what am I really wanting what do I want and I want to express that the and we say that's the so the deepest space of all our we want we want what do we want for. So they want homes, loyal homes of service of Hashem. What are we having to me a big focus? But not just for but homes that are comfortable and why what for? There should be homes of loyalty to Hashem. There should be homes, beautiful homes of loyalty to Hashem. I view and all of us approaching on Rashashana. I like in yeshiv we're learning kadush and I always like studying this and I want to like bring it out in this way we the says I'm looking for Jewish I want to express the visual I have is a mel who's been replaced in a coup he's been ousted in a coup and he's on the run the king and I it's such a touching picture it's funny it's it's like A funny thing now in Iran, there's some ex-p prime minister who's like trying to bark the last couple of years. He's like screaming to anybody. Listen, I'm the prime minister of Iran. I don't know who wants him, who's masked him, who holds. Doesn't look like too many Iranians want him. I I don't I'm not the political guy. Maybe he is, maybe isn't. I don't know. But there's a guy who's saying I'm the ex-p prime minister of Iran. He like wants back somehow his space. But I think about an ousted king who has a few loyalists around and they like host the king. It's very dangerous. And in the gas, the king is not recognized, but they're loyalist. We host the king. There's something touching about that loyalist housing the king. And the king's love to that loyalist is so beautiful that when it comes back the full malus of the king, those are his people. Those are his people. And in gulus when it's not when it's not everybody loyal to the there'll be a day that the whole world is hashem but the loyal in that home in the quiet in the sweetness of the home there hashem there kdesh is made there shabas is there's mira there this this mamish this beauty and this kadosha this holiness this sweetness there's this kamayim exists in that home there. That's such a beautiful scene. It's such a beautiful space and I want to express that all the things we want deeply. We want we want to support our we want to support our yeshivas. We want to support we should want for the right what do we want weas because we want to be who we're supposed to be and the cautious that we're asking we're ding for our children we want the gaz of our children so they could be busy with who they're supposed to be the deepest space we're not kidding we're not joking we're able on rash to have clarity that everything we're asking We mean it. We mean it that the things we want, we're it's a day that we return to our shish. It's a day we're not even doing chuva because we're at a deeper place. >> There's no chashana. Afterwards, we're going to we're going to a little bit get back and then we have to do chuva for to fill in other space. We go to a deep shish. We go to our beginning. It's a day of deep clar. We dance and sing for a long time. It's the whole day. I'm a servant to the day is I said to that we should have so we would have would have been answered. I am with my shish at my shish the things I'm asking for of course I have wants nonrashana we all come with wants and of course there's a humility by the way a guy sitting rash desire makes fun who is this guy hashem let me he's being judged and he's like bossing the around he's like dvening with with any he should come we should be shaking and the yid's like it's almost like what's happening with this person that that's where the zire is making fun Is he a dog? What's is he like totally out of touch? Who are you? The dog barks at the owner. Come here. Like, do I owe you something? But there's a whole different prayer that I'm coming as. And what we're asking the things with we want. So, we could serve you with with sincerity. We want we want shalom. Our needs are all. So I want to wish us all. We should all be all of us, all of our children, our spouses, all of to recognize that there's a space for us in there. There's an for us wants where he wants us. We're asked to beem says something in that space to recognize I'm like he who lives here is inval for ourselves are and I'm answering desire who says who who makes fun to z and saying an ems but I'm not answering him up I'm explaining if a person dins with that and it's just selfish and we're being judged screaming he's ke I'm expressing three things about the first of all that understand hashem wants we're in front of the tat wants our goodness so I'm talking to you who want my goodness I'm not coming and like screaming as somebody I I Few years ago, a few tragically some some guy a police officer stepped on his neck. I personally I have like a visual guy screaming get off my neck. There are people who dive into Hashem in such an understand wants our goodness. It's the but to the one who wants what we're saying in the full sense wants he's it's not a person being stepped on and saying get off me. It's not that way. It's not true. Now we're human. I can admit sometimes a person feels Hashem. I don't understand can go to a deeper place. I know you want my goodness. You're tapping into a deep place. Rash person sometime we're asking we should have the to tap into that deep place that you want my goodness. I know it. Sometimes during the year I could like struggle to see it. Your every goodness that I'm asking for. You want our goodness. That's one. That's not that's actually he says forem when you for good. It makes sense for Ben. When a kid says Tati, help me out. He's diving for you. Tati, help me for you. I'm your son. I know you like me. That's what the kid's saying to his father. We could say that to Hashem. It's not like a shallow thing, but I'm being so He's my father. He wants my goodness. Tata, let's go. Let's go, Tat. I know you want my goodness. Let's go. Whatever blockages, let's go. What's the best thing the father takes care of me's way of one two is for the doesn't for other people that's not and the third thing is but have that from the space of and have to be in our own way in our own story. Let me be I want to be that's interesting. I'm I'm being hashem by asking hashem to be able to be aim I want to be mad but in a beautiful way in a glorious way in a wonderful give me the strength give me the capacity then I can ask I can ask then I'm talking about him in that context of course for the gosh things of course those are the three I don't want to say eight says I'm not looking for a trick to circumvent I'm speaking what you didn't do and what was supposed to do. We're told by and I think it's not like a like a we got around the z we're not trying to get around the z we're actually studying the z that's directing our prayers it tells us what not to do the yu forgets the toe he forgets to I want to serve you and I want to be loyal and pass my that's theor of his prayers so that's and the mish And then he's not at all. He's in that context. He for his needs. That's the heavens for such a kid. He's busy with Hashem's people. He's your son. He's your son. Take for friends. So we should for each other that's like that's wants our goodness. It's a different way of the energy is different. A guy could have ded for a long time and the whole time he thought he was fighting Hashem actually I know you want this you want just asking you have a rut and you should just be let it let it flow. Let it flow be that what a beautiful thing the Tata wants to take care of his children. Just don't let anything get in the way. I'm some I've been called up by schools that we mamish want to keep the bak but we made a rule. We got like stuck. So I mish want to keep them. I just can't cuz I told the guys I can't lie. We're saying tomat wants to take care of his kid. Just just we know you want it clear. There's no stuck the should grant us all for ourselves for our wives for our children our families all all the members of Israel a beautiful sweet year of service of Hashem of the great joy the great sim being we should all of us should be able to rash plug into that space theem anybody who studies Tanya knows that sadic is somebody who lives in that space. He says every person has a space at sidkas has a moment in sidus sidkos is that space on rashash it's no shock to anybody who studies every now utilize that opportunity have an opportunity when you're in that space big spoke to their families about not getting on on rash don't push too many ourselves not Cass is like a rebellion against to try to try and to speak back to places of I accept my situation. I accept. So really to avoid cast big Indian was a huge Indian not to be not to be extra patient and love with the mishb as part of a world of the world of he whose matic really sadic lives in situ acceptance of hashem's world of the things that hashem sets up for him there's certainly in that space a person all year could struggle with a certain child a relative a neighborh it's like that he's in a place in a place of mish except mish he hugs the neighbor each other in the place of I have no on him runs the world a deep acceptance we should be to enter us and I bring the whole into that place of and then of course should hear all our prayers and listen to our prayers we should have a Amen. Thank you. Thank you. At the same time saying maybe one other guy say
