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
