Erev Sukkos - [Archives]

I always have the feeling on sukus always after we gather together. I'm feeling it tonight and I want to say it my first I want to share this feeling with the barem we're known each other many years my we've been friends for years I always feel after what the shabas after the sus after tremendous nank closeness with I think it's yum kipra is very real I was telling my son that for I was telling him that I wanted to be mass he said be mazic the he said like everybody's on fire it's like I wanted to rile up he said do you need to be riled up that's a good point I said I just shared but it was a I was happy that he sensed how real nila is and the holy kipper is such a serious sincere uplifting experience to go through it with friends you feel close much less experiences that you enjoy and that are meaningful. You feel close when you have the experience with people after Kipper. We like sat here together for a long time for many hours and pushed and and grew and struggled and reconentrated and focused and then finally by nila we were all fully in you feel I feel very very close to the so I want to say that I appreciate I always like this Thursday night cheer this feelings of kerv after yam kipper together and sitting in shul we're practically in shul we're looking at each other maybe I looked shows how much I look around I am facing the crowd but in a in a real sense there's a tremendous closeness the closeness of having a real experience with somebody you share a serious experience together with the group there's a tremendous career that I feel after I appreciate it a lot we sang on on in kipper night there was a song that we sang together I asked if we could sing it one more time now I'm not saying limited to this it might come up many times sukus This I want to and it has to be a high key. Revei it sounds much better at a high key. A nice high key. We'll sing it once and then I have a lot I want to learn with the Let's get to it. Zach. No. No. Let's go. My birthem [singing] ramen. I love a shame ram. [singing] >> [singing] >> I raashm [music] Oh shame [singing] [music] my life. Raash [music] Hash. [singing] [music] [singing] the three regulum and the order gullum pesuis and sukus and we're headed the half of the year it's fascinating much like a day as y and leila the year in a very fascinating construct has the months of the regulum which is the de and then the six months without regulum which is kga and the months of the regulum it's if we could keep score. Pes the Tyra never once I challenge people to look this up it never once says the word associated with PES in the whole sim you won't find a scorecard one time and three times it says three times in front of the says three times. The Ram of course says is a sukus more than all the other sukus is the most. If we look into the if we look into the there what the says about all three is in the the time of the year things are starting to blossom. It's not ready yet yet ready to cut. Things are are blossoming. It's a very positive season. Pesak things are blossoming. Things are blooming. And that's Pesak happy. very happy but it's not complete cuts here we cut it's ready to harvest much much better much more pes had none had one but it's still not ready to eat the pis and the farmer comes on sukus and he gathers he gathers all the pears over the summer they were drying out on the rooftops s in the field and he brings them to the house and now he has his plenty and that's the happiest season for the farmer and that's how the Tyra sets it up and any studyer any learner of Tyra pauses and says one second but we aren't farmers now a farmer like gets the deal he's you know it's positive The world's blooming and blossoming the he's starting to get a little happy but it's not it's not finished much better cuts here and finally sukus he brings him to his base you could picture like a person saying that you know the Jewish people were once more farm-based people tyra is forever and talking to you and I who aren't farmers and for anybody who understands hands the world the physical world mirrors a spiritual reality. It's not the reason the reason we have Pesak is not we have Pesak because the world's blossoming and shuis. No, no, no. The world's blossom because it's Pesier is because it's the physical only mirrors the spiritual. The tire is before the world. And what you see in the physical is true in our world. And literally the world couldn't reflect the reality that I want to describe right now. If literally God designed it and alma the world exactly reflects the spiritual reality. What does the world reflect in? We were taken out. Hashem chose us we call was our birth. Now at that point we didn't have a mission yet. We were taken out of Egypt. At that point was connection was relationship to Hashem. That was Pes we were handed a [snorts] step later and the world reflects it that Pes things are starting to blossom. the birth that our nation was born. We were handed a Tyra is cuts here. It's time to harvest. Here's the Tyra mission and purpose. The fruit is ready, but we still it's not operative. We don't have it yet. We received it. We're not living with it. And sukus is when we integrate. It's no coinc. It's not just not a coincidence. sukus our very living our dra becomes a mitzvah live in a suka. We live in a mitzvah and the pay the harvest becomes a mitzvah of anal minimum and all of a sudden we take the mitzvah and the tyra and we live it in our life. We live with Hashem. The desert when we actually traveled and incorporated all we learned and started living it practically it no longer was potential. We started actualizing in our own lives. And that's sukus. That's the tremendous tremendous joy of sukus. I call this it's my own. I shouldn't do this. I have a stickick. I I I want to explain why I do it. I call this 10th, 11th, 12th. It's very negative. I'll tell you the danger of doing it. I'll tell you, I want to tell my friends why I do it. I call this 10th. I have a high school with three grades. My goal of 10th grade is PES. My goal is of 10th grade is PES. And the goal of 10th grade is that Baka should fall in love with Hashem. He should want badly to do tyran mitzvah through close pressure to a rebi through loving his yeshiva. My goal is to get excited about tyran mitzvah. A guy came to me before yam kiper. He was emotional. He said I have so many sins from the past year. Guy came to show you. Guy said I have so many sins. He said I started preparing the kates. He said, "I couldn't believe how many were applicable to me." That's what he said. Guy said to me said, "I was reading. I couldn't believe how many were applicable. How many I done." So I said to him, "Are you upset about it?" He said, "I'm very upset about it." I said, "A year ago, were you upset?" He said a year ago I was looking forward to doing those a year ago you were looking forward to do the a and today you're upset I'm looking forward to you're a different mench he said that's a very good point I'm a different person I'm upset that I I'm upset that's that's 10th grade he he wants mitzvah that's the the connection we don't we didn't get to But we're geared up. There's a relationship. There's looking forward to something. We want something. We've formed a relationship. We want something. So I call that 10th. 11th grade. A guy learns puts on fillin not in context of becoming. You receive the as eternal value one time fillin. It's not in context of integrating it into your life. Tag guy was born and one time puts on fillin to worth entire life sat [snorts] 12th grade is integrated into your life. You have a life. Your deer is a mitzvah. You're walking and your parents you brought into your house. Your sh you incorporate and you have figured out how to live your day in day out with mitzv with loyalty to Hashem. That's a now the reason I I call it 10th 11th 12th a butcher can call it different cuts of meat 10th is na all our life all of us go back to pes yearly and every step of our life needs pes it's not like I did pes already and by the way in January you need pes too there's a school of pes and every person needs pes remember my I had a friend who's a younger man in Lakewood. Top guy, big family. See, 25 years he described Salom was when he was bet he made for his that were like electric and the guy described to me I would energize me a mava mal. I was thinking to myself like I think like a good amala that's good for a 45 year old learning incredible 25 years also needs pesa he also needs a excitement for hashem for this guys learning of 25 years a quarter of a century the guys in he's talking about they sang beautiful everybody needs pes and the the the ava the ava the experiencing hashem's ava for us feeling chosen and wanted is pes you need all your life pes not for a certain stage we go back to pes and reinvigorate with pes and the school says pes is that connection that excitement that commitment that's means hashem's excited for us and we're excited for that's the translation Excitement is the night of PES. Hashem wants us and we want him. Well, tonight it says Hashem's sham to us. We're sham to him. Tonight of of and that's the that's the builtin school of the excitement of of being chosen. And there's something to that. There's a there's a life ahead. And then but when hold steady hold steady 11th grade's coming. We'll we'll find things to express it with tyranitus. >> Okay. And he does it fill in this. Wow. You learn for a minute. You go to beautiful. Then there and and and that's the school accepting that which is eternal. And then comes sukus a life with our family incorporating all that we learn taking all the physical in our becomes a mitzvah all the pis would gather in and we're shaking pis and we're getting and we're we're loyalist to hashem through all the wealth and all the things that we acquire in our lives we're serving hashem an incorporated life of service of hashem That's the ultimate the taking the pes with the that he's received on and he's now incorporated into a life is a tremendous. So when you see in the physical world it's not like that's a mal the world becomes what the spiritual reality is. That's a the world reflects truth. What's in the world? It's so cool that is beforeus. It's it's obvious it's there. That's the only place it could be before sukus. We're getting all our actions and making an accounting of our lives. That's like and that explodes into a sukus. That's the school of sasan is living all the ideals we've learned and know and incorporating it a developed life that fits with mitzvah that's that's oozing with tyran mitzvah that's rasher developed that and explodes into a so when you read about the farmer the farmer was mirroring us and it mirrors the exact existence that's a truth that that's how the world works I get I get I I asked I call it I should re label it for us. Every guy ga butcher will have what he calls 10th 11 12 I call it that has nothing to do with I don't know sometimes I'm in p time I'm in 10th grade I don't know sometimes during the I need 10 that friend when he's by that kumz is a 10th grade there's an aspect of our life of renewing of feeling we all have our ways of rejuvenation of of of of stoking that this guy when this guy is like a younger man 25 years in co discurs and I've seen People older than that describe and how they invigorate how they get accept and some sadikim from Pes that's what does it for the year there's probably such a thing too some people tap this P and then throughout the year they su back to PES the cababala of one great saddic I was looking up cababalis this year his is the whole year every single day is gonna remember yim kipper it's a cool cabal so pes you're a lot of shel to pes in the middle of the summer no is But that I call the 10th, 11th and 12th for the omnis I'm involved in. It's like very neat and it's true. You can call it pesak with sukus. You can call it different cuts of meats if you whatever your ness you could fit it in. There's there's a ver you there there's a truth. There's a spiritual truth. The farmer calls it the farmer calls it this. The farmer experiences it in a very big reality. It's not like cute that I see it in yeshiva. It's easier to see and everybody's spiritual growth has these three steps. Everybody it's like it's called everybody has these three steps in their growth. It's like cool in my ness like it comes out in a very clever the first thing we think about a mother was tell was hacking with me tonight did my son hear the sha on rash sh I said I'm still busy that he wants to hear a shy like I don't know how to explain this I also want to hear the but we're holding we're holding that he I don't I didn't I have to do pes before rash on shoulder pes first I'm still holding that he should eat Matzah. She's a big person. I I want your son eating matzah. You're asking me did he hand the guy didn't eat matzah at the as his schedule. Your son is his schedule. He's not mish. We're still eating mats. We're almost done. I told our sed is almost done. When we're done, the sed is going to hear like you never heard. What can I do? He skip pes. We're up to pes holding in middle. He goes to say I said we start in the middle of the sed goes to sed not that sed different sed a different [laughter] he goes to seder we're in middle of a different sed what can I tell you okay he's at sed he's at our we're at a seder together there's a seder trust me we're at a is he at sedar yeah he's very much at sed the terret says that first there there's a pes there's there's there's something there's a there's a want for mitzah and there's hashem we'll have a pes We'll have a we'll have a sukus also. A guy wants to have a sukus uncin is impossible. You can't incorporate without pes. There's no such thing. We like we get all confused. We need it. There's something called pes. I don't know how to how to explain this. There's there's ama there's there's a sense of care. A person's chosen call on them. So this is this is the the seasons and to be in this exciting season that we're that that we've sat we've done in accounting and and we want to live with the mitzvah we want to live with the mitzvah we want to incorporate our life precious precious precious mitzvah that was so what I wanted to do for a few minutes now that we studied this spiritual reality I want the has a write up on mitzvah That's very beautiful. I advise anybody who wants to ever learn it. It's interesting that somebody should learn it. Maybe we should have on chabas on this kenzy. We should do this. But I wanted to go through a few of the mitzvah that the some will be obvious to the he has a whole sim in the where he speaks about aspects with mitzvah. It's sim and he brings a whole bunch of clim on mitzvah. A friend of mine wrote a safer on that of where he goes through all the different rules about mitzvah. I'm not going to read from the I'm gonna I'm just going to read the and talk a little bit about a few. I highlighted a few of them and I want to learn tonight because we're thinking about a few things. Number one, I want to talk about mitzvah. I made a mistake for years. Theadam writes something that I'm curious how the thinks writes something either I don't you can't argue on it might be mis I want let me get to it let me read this to you I made this mistake for years I want to clarify something to the that you shouldn't make my mistake and hitzvah on all mitzvah this is a big deal you come to the meaning where it says pates it says the word which according to connects to hither and it says by the I want to talk about hither says brings from that it's from the on the then he says this is No, no, writes this. He says mash it's only this is listen listen to this. I want you to hear this. The says it's the yellow. But could I tell you what he means? And I I I don't this is this bothers me. What's he referring to? Tyus says to do Mrs. Beautiful. And what is he talking about? Rash the Mishna on the third per of of of of says of dried out Lula that's dried out is ple says rashi vanu it's not beautiful ple says doesn't make it and he says to be we don't pass like a beauty not to be it's a mitzvah is so you see is not >> that's what so Tyson says is not he argues I'm he says a different reason is possible >> it's possible but not because it says not so says the I quote Oh, now here's what I want. I don't know what the means. There's no such THING AS A MITZVAH. That's a suggestion. [snorts] So, it's like better to do at night. I'm going to love David STEIN TONIGHT. DO I HAVE TO BUY a nice one? Could I tell him give me the cheapest one? That's user to do it. You did an you broke. There's no such thing in the of something. That's a suggestion. You're not you're not is just saying you're still because it's not a mitzvah of >> it's a se it's a it's a says it's not doesn't mean you weren't there's no suggestions it's and you broke you weren't what weren't I'm still commenting on says that I don't think that that's not how I understood it's not avail It's just it doesn't mean you're not wasn't saying it's only as if you're it's to do what you did. You didn't have you broke. You're still So would you write in I don't know. They don't start up says only that. >> He's referring to that. Yeah, he means that he says he's going that he says he says so he might mean like me. It's but it's not different to mitzvah this I might mean like me I don't know >> I don't know what he means he says it's only a it's it's not like a suggestion it's there's no such mitzvah that is like better to do you know any mitzvah like that in the you're commanded it's better to do this there's no such thing you're obligated if you don't do it you broke the tyra all ties are saying it doesn't mean you know what I mean doesn't say you by the way if a guy asks I'm going to Davidstein can I buy the cheapest one and if I do it you broke zu you did not do you broke you're still to do with breaking zu to say it's you broke you didn't break >> what >> what's wrong with the cheapest >> you broke zu >> zu means it shouldn't be the cheapest or >> so that's all. So if you have two in front of you, if there's one there, then this shows how much more. If you have two minim and one is nicer than the other to get the nice and there's rules how much nicer you can go here's a big range. So it says the rules to it. But there's a to get nice. It's not like it's not like there's not there's you broke. You know what I'm saying? I'm so troubled that when I saw he wrote this as he knows I've been screaming for years about this ta heard this from me. When I saw this, I was like, "Oh, no." I don't know what he means. Is big from the doesn't need anybody's >> writes unless he means like me. He's just saying it's not in the mitzvah. That's what he means. I just wish he would have written it differently. >> Rebby would not have said those words. When you say is shaking of you're not you have to do it. I don't I don't know what it means. You're obligated. You're not if you don't I don't know what >> does it mean? >> It sure doesn't sound like that. Sure doesn't sound like that. Unless he like somehow I don't want you don't want to your agendas in could he mean Rashi says it's means it's on each mitzvah and says not the wrong way of writing there's no it's not it's mitzvah >> there's two every mitzvah has a side mitzvah and if you break that side mitzvah has nothing to do with the mitzvah you broke a separate mitzvah there's a mitzvah separate to there's the six one of the 613 is do the other 612 beautifully. If you don't do it beautifully, you broke that 613. You didn't break the mitzvah. That's how I understood. He's not he's saying it's so it's like a suggestion as that what is he? >> I don't know. It's the you can't you don't take on a I don't know. Maybe I don't know. I don't know. He's almost learning. It's like better. What's the law of the law? It's better to do it nice. I think it's an absolute and you're not to do it nice if you don't do it nice. Better to do it nice. What? >> But you're not >> I know what you mean. So the mitzvah has a it's a mitzvah to do this. If you didn't you not yell about that's how I understood it but >> is there could we be a little off is there a possibility in the both in the third part as well as about to get off by the by the >> is there a possibility to understand that there is no the >> there is I admit like the you could say in that it's not a direct >> based on what it says >> it could be that's what he learned it could be he learned and reve says he's tiny that remember there's no usually a is written as a to do this it doesn't fit the parabu is a a reaction of it's not even said in the lion >> so so then so then he learned then you could say then then raans could say it's better to do it this way it's a little he says RASHI SAYS HE SAYS If that's what he means. So then he learned different ty is not ty. You don't have to learn arguing rash. Rashi says tyus says not tyus according to the way kaish is learn. He agrees it's and he agrees it's just means it's not in the mitzvah it's a separate mitzvah where he's >> I don't know. Yeah, I don't see he he understood it that it's I don't know I you don't want to take on next next let me for anybody I let's go next >> if you learn it maybe he learned a little sounds that way he says says he doesn't say the words as he's saying he means the only way I can learn if he meant the suggestion so little sounds that way because he said he says there really is And the rabb said best you do it. That's not how I understood that the go you know. Okay. Next next is fascinating and I wanted to say it to my friends. There's an Indian to do a mitzvah. He brings the smell. There's a whole bunch of rules of mitzvah. And he says better to do a mitzvah. Don't do it alone. There's an Indian to do. He's he brings the he brings that it's much nicer a crowd. That's what he says. He brings he says how many is a crowd? He says three. You know what it is always. Why do we do it yourself? Why do you do you do with friends? to do with the interesting he says three not on the bottom is a lot I once saw that my once told showed me that two people should bench together it's interesting shim is very na we bench three people do it together one that fits a lot he says that is three that's very interesting that It's an ion to do a mitzvah. Don't do it alone. Do it with the There's an in to do a mitzvah. It's better. Very very interesting litfish. One person makes kesish for everybody. That's why I'm not I grew up. We all had a growing up. Every kid had to ask we came we come from so everybody does. The reason one person is a mitzvah could do that's the that's the interest you have to ask every a lot of people ever he wants to make his own kdish we hold we I I'm all confused who the we is but the the one person makes kdish very interesting this to doz If you could ever do a mitzvah with the do with don't do it alone with the big nation don't don't do alone you're but if you could do a mitzvah with a rabbi it's interesting that he says three on the bottom he'sful a lot and comes with ras can you do two people he's mfal a lot on that he has cashes and I'm I'm not prepared Rene brings a beer here. He's mythical lot on the bottom. But just the Indian to do that you come and you do the that's a it's very fascinating by the that the person goes to his and does the meaning makes by others they do not I wonder if that's called typically is one person's he brings he he brings that left out if many people do one mitzvah So he brings the now why don't we do that why don't we do that he brings the that part of the is one person should make a bra so I see on the he's a lot we don't do that by we do it together but what happened to that everybody makes fillin we all put on we don't have we don't clap okay everybody say one guy's making sus See he brings everybody makes their own >> he asked this cash he brings this from the shua brings a >> who asks these cashes he brings from a this is all spoken about they talk about kavana and other reasons why everybody makes a separ so it's interesting we we don't always follow this by kdesh we certainly do this so you have to like I I'm not prepared and it's something to look into when one person makes a we do that kdish we clearly do that and especially if I'm asking on they're all making their own kdish we do many we all make our own I wanted to say this that we gather like in the beautiful thing that doz together to do a so I wanted to share by this but you notice it's when itself is the mitzvah. So then we're we're done. It's interesting the he brings says if he brings a gimmel it's something I would like to be I would like if maybe maybe I don't know we just said but but I'd love to be in this would be interesting when we do what it would be very interesting he has on the bottom pull I have to I have to study it if you It's only an Indian or it's it's not a >> this I can't call this is there's no in the this is not a here I'm not there's no in the it's a there's an to do a if you could do it with do the mitzvah together with the is a classic example and there's an to do a mitzvah with whenever you can bound together and do it don't shake the in yourself go to shake with together there's an to do >> I can't start my >> no I'm not a person should do them do it in the in do remember the the mitzvah has and he he does it in he gets the shul but I want to say there's an in to do next he speaks about doing mitzvah with joy and he brings from he says the tyra says that all the the camel writes that they weren't more than doing other said that they didn't have enough and said on himself that he was to the madus he reached because he had because he had tremendous joy in doing mitzvah famously the [clears throat] Rambam writes in famously by he says says the the joy a person has in doing and his love of who commanded the mitzvah it's a very big whoever holds himself back from the is going to be punished he brings that's and in front of and he says he brings from the that a person shouldn't do a and he's I have a funny story. My my son's read my son went to visit his Rebi said to him, it was funny. He was talking about he said if you're only here cuz you're then you're probably not. you're only here like he came to visit like doing a mitzvah he was telling like you can't do a mitzvah it's a you like it's a pain he said if you're here because like to see a rebi you're probably not like if it's not exciting for you to see me in many mitzvah that's in to do a mitzvah >> he meant that should be such a tobi that you want to be there not like I'm he said if you're here then I'm not your in a simple >> he's a rabbi. >> No, he he's somebody who teaches mitzvah. We have guys he teaches mitzvah. So he taught it on that mitzvah there on every mitzvah. It's funny on that mitzvah to say if you're here like oh okay I'm supposed to visit my you're probably not like especially this rebi like he's for sure not your rebi if if you drag yourself to do the mitzvah he's saying I'm sure not you so if you're here because you're excited and but interesting that the the to do mitzvah shouldn't be it's certainly the mitzvah and this is how the magmisha speaks it out magmish is a who wrote on the side of the ram and he writes You shouldn't do a mitzvah that like like [cough] there's a [clears throat] whole of and I mean this errands there are people who is checking off boxes okay there's a there's a huge it's this is not we talk about being happy doing a smile it's a whole of oneself and of our children. You have to understand there's a whole avoid relate to mitzvah. If the relationship to mitzvah is like check boxes now there are responsibilities and duties. There's a truth to that. But if that can't be your approach to mitzvah that's the and this is how the ra he quotes the the says means not to do mitzvah sadly and he's saying it's a for a person does a mitzvah and checks off a box. Okay, got it. Okay, finish with that one. [snorts] That's [clears throat] not how to do mitzvah. It's not and there's a there's a to that then then it has to be how do I bring myself and there's a whole style how to bring yourself it's I told I want to repeat the ver because it was meaningful to me I want to repeat it to you because it changed my this year and I want to share I told before but you could do there's an how to do this with every mitzvah nil was always like a deadline to me the gates are closing get in fast you talk about a guy how many times If I rush to kosher before it shuts to me that's always like oh goodness like deadlines are very scary to me deadlines are scary I'm always like headed for the thanks a million thank you thank you thank you deadlines are a scary I made a shahak already thank you deadlines are very very scary so nil is always like yanke get it in get in like another thing oh man we're running against the clock I get up to speak and like are people nervous the time uh oh gates are closing like there there's like deadlines are scary for me this year I saw and I saw it in the words that we say that it's not like it's it's true this it's true there's some this time pressure I don't mind the pressure with time but it's and it's not like the gates are closed the gates closed yet am I are we okay I want to get in there and get stuck in there with Hashem. The gates close and we get stuck in with Hashem. The the Reb never said deadline. He said due date. Deadline is the end of something. Due date is something's being born. It's not a deadline like everything ends. I don't know. The gates closed. That's it. Um trucks like we missed it. It's over. That was fleeting. The called that the gates closed and I get closed in with Hashem. We made it. We got it and we got closed. What does it mean to be closed in? Let's live with Hashem this year. Let's go. Let's be more let's get closed in. You can connect to I I found that I told I told every once a friend of mine was talking about in terms of he loves the structure of said it gives his day. He's like a guy who likes that's he's built like he's wired like that for me. I love my then I'm checked into the obviously I like the aspect like we're checked in together. It's just the community aspect. So we all have our way but it's not a it's not a minor z that a mitzvah is magical to you. It's not a minor z to be the mitzvah. It's not a shallow what do I do like smile that means that the mitzvah has to be meaningful to me. So there's there's a job and a task to connect and relate. Mitzah is not childish. What is this? I giggle a lot. So there's a task. There's something to do and there are things to be done to make the mitzvah meaningful to you. And there's different ways. And by the way, I'll connect to the mitzvah different than you'll connect to the mitzvah. But it means we're sh to connect to mitzvah. Mitzah can be exciting mitzvah. It's funny whenever I hear like a schmoo is knocking sha like I think shahmanas we should do like most of the year sha man is like they say it's gone out of hand gone out of hand it's like the mitzvah it's crazy it's wonderful we're giving it's galdic people are bringing like I'm finally like I a mitzvah that like lights my soul it's gishmak we're g we're buying coming exchange I don't even like candy it's so much fun in gishmak like you send you get you come gishmak You're supposed to have a mitzvah said we'll have different reasons a dentist like he gets more business. I don't know find your way like whatever you know each person what it means to him the mitzvah but there's there's a there's an of connecting it's even that it hit me a different way and there was an approach to a mitzvah and there's approaches it fascinated me this friend was describing davening and I I love minyanim and I'm like at a different place than him I like the benyanim different cities you plug into some city a Jew comes to a city you're a friend you're a foreigner you go to Like you feel the vibe of the city. Mñana are so delightful. Your own city to check in to check in to another city. There's a beauty to minanim. Everybody has oh this guy's like it's his rigidity. He loves discipline and structure. And then a guy like me that's like the harp of that. But I love the social aspect of me. I love that I'm checked in to the city and I'm joining the I went to 9:00 m. It was so much fun. Yeshiva guys are back. It was a part I saw a mayor's sons each one shine a gishmak different people it's so everybody has their aspect what they're checked in it's not a minor detail it's not cute there's an Indian of mitzvah means that it could resonate by me and there's its own way what matzah means to you we're going to go into the suk I'm sure we're going to go into different sukus what it means how I resonate what it suk is an easy one to be excited meaning is very unique And again down the different years some years it's my you know it's a sword and shield you have different there you have we study this we try to understand but there that this mitzvah matters to me and is meaningful to me and precious. So mitzvah is a big Indian on mitzvah. The describes all the don't have the the describes sophisticated. It's not the kid smile harder. I'm happy about the mitzvah. They're [clears throat] ways to connect to mitzvah and understand them and be excited by them and they become a big passion of our life. They're passageways. They're ideas and ideals that change us. So mitzvah that's the the last two I want to do. The last two is the last one is is sponsored by your local es merchant. We'll get to that in a minute. The second to last one I want to do is he says to anticipate mitzvah. He says not to try to not get a mitzvah. If you have a chance to bench of course you should wash. It's partial like that. It's a mitzvah that to the bench. So to make to make is there's any here that's an attitude we're supposed to try to anticipate. He brings the mitzvah is an attitude. I want to if I can get we're all right now wearing a four corner begged. Why you doing that? This isn't sitsus. Teach your kids this. This is not sitsus. This garment is a is gar is a garment. It's a four corner garment. Why are you wearing a four corner of gum? Cuz I like mitzvah. So I make myself and a mitzvah. Cuz aid is supposed to be and it's an attitude. Teach our children, teach ourselves. I am right now wear I'm not Don't say I'm wearing tits. No, I have titsus on my begg. I'm wearing a begged. Why are you wearing a funny begged? Because I want to be obligated in mitz. An attitude that we look to get mitzvah. Hashem. We don't just win Hashem's mitzvah me I listen. I want a relationship to Hashem. So I actually try to get commanded. Pick me. Pick me. Hashem, give me a command. So I put on a four cornered garments and I would get a command from Hashem. The very begad we're wearing is an expression of a to be I want us to know this and to teach us to our families with benching. If you have a chance to bench your own attitude, benching takes a couple of minutes. So so if I can wash so let's wash. I get to bench. That's just a good attitude. This why would I not wash and al is wonderful brain flushes but it's not a dice. I want a mitzvah. I'm wearing a beg of four corners cuz I want to get it. It's an attitude with when can I wanted to go because then he'll get it. I don't get it. Just don't go. He was mountain. It's an attitude but yet has that he'd like to have mitzvah. He'd like to have mitzvah. It's an attitude that aid has. [cough] That's extremely extremely important attitude in life. We want of you. We want to be close to Hashem. We don't look at it like shocks. Okay, God come in. I got to do it. No, we I want a connection to Hashem. This mitzvah connect me to Hashem. So that the last one and this is sponsored by your local merchant. I want to say I just came. I literally came a little late. I was running back from the merchant. And if anybody ever has, you know, it costs money to buy mitzvah. Understand that it's not shucks. I wish I can get it for free. There's a din to spend on a mitzvah. It's one of the rules and mitzvah. He says, don't do it. Buy it. says and he brings a don't give to the writes was very I've been offered free because of this I've been offered for free I turn it down I don't want it for free I don't want it for free I've been offered we take it for free you're not supposed to it's wrong you're not I tell brim their bakim is if you could spend some of your money a few dollars Baka is not rich. A parent buys. A parent buys. If you could chip in, give your parents $10. You want to your pasha don't want it free. Faka could chip in a few dollars. It's interesting. My son, my we always I get from the local. My son has a friend. He's gone for years in he was in five years and he bought with his friend. So he drove in to buy with his friend. I was happy that he expended. He g that he expended on on the mitzvah. Now I like buy from the local. He has a of five years with somebody. I buy from the local. That's always always buy from a local merchant. The guy told me that he was looking for a went to New York. I was very upset at the guy. He's a local. Went to New York. It doesn't it's breaking things in the T. Buy from a local. Always support your local stores. You support your local merchants. These are like Yiddish kite 101. Here my son is a friend for five years. He buys what? It's a different zak. But I was happy expense. He put expense as an inion to spend money on a mitzvah. It's not like shocks. I wish it was free but okay you shrug. No I want of course you want to spend on a mitzvah. So you spend do with it and spend it cost. It's a mitzvah that costs and we go we spend money on a mitzvah. That's how we want to spend. precious on mitzvah of course make sure I don't get a that's a good sh people in the guys said we got free ones I wasn't so convinced I they were like so they cap they got a free one I'm not sure they should get a free one there's an Indian to pay I'm not guys are like excited they got a free one I'm not sure buy the terrorists he could say is they'll spend I don't know if they get everything free they're still buying a good a guy doesn't have I can't I'm telling you that an Indian with that you can get for freez was a lot on this one there's a big in to spend money on a mitzvah a guy can get mas for free somebody who offers I want to pay for it I's what I want to put this here's where I want to put my money's a guy can get it for free and pays no lot of there's an Indian to buy that he wants to >> [clears throat] >> potential for China. Is that although is like a little bit that come off that come off the >> you're saying if a guy could have gotten it for free maybe. No, in general is it like is it is it included in the uh >> in that it's not maybe yeah the spending is not a people don't have to know the there's an Indian it's just like to know the scorecard it's like shucks I would >> question I had is it about the spending or the if you look at if you look There's an Indian to spend. I like what does the m do he has his own. Like what's he supposed to do? Should he buy from somebody else? Is that a I think the answer is there is he spends everyone he has he bought it. So I don't think the miker has a problem. If a var uses his own matas from kosher he bought it. He not it's I don't think that's free. He's he's he paid for it. So it's not it's funny the buy it also. I don't think it doesn't necessarily have to pay tons of money. Whatever money he bought is for he's >> [laughter] >> Because it's interesting that we started Yam Kipper Mameish at the start was telling Alias first I'm thinking I I'm being honest in my mind I was like is this the way to start Yam Kipper? Then I was like this is the way to start Yam Kipper. the the Rambam will close with this says that he has five things that annoy that block passageways of chuva and one of those mitzvah if you mark mitzvah we're talking tonight about appreciating mitzvah mocking mitzvah is a so a passage way of I thought it was such a great way to start your kiper that we appreciate mitzvah let's bid on the mitzvah it's such a beautiful way people were bidding Sai giving to a we want to pay for that and Sai and Sai buying I thought it was like the perfect way to begin and it's a I felt it was very beautiful. So here was some of the we learned together I this and when we do each one maybe I'll be more and talk about it over that's something maybe I'll look into
