hi this is D lowski welcome to the par 5
we in five minutes we try to give you
some insights that hopefully will add to
your shabas and para understanding and
experience double para this week don't
get too impressed it's still only 70 Pim
with the two of them together um and uh
we Mish coming down to the end and uh
Rashana so uh a lot of different ideas
packed in but I want to give you
one
uh this an idea I heard from Kushi many
years
ago he
says it's not
far it's not on the other side of the
river it's not up in the
sky it's very close to you so Rashi says
what's it talking about it's talking
about the Torah
gave us the Torah and he gave it to us
easily and accessibly you don't have to
go into outer space to search for the
truth find a big black monolith on
Jupiter like in 200 2001 A Space Odyssey
you don't have to go overseas climb some
mountain in India searching for the
truth you uh you don't have to go and
dick up archaeological ruins to find the
truth it's very easy and accessible you
have the Torah right available to you
but the ramban says it's talking about
the Mitzvah of
chuva it's very easy it's very close to
you it's very
simple as keski I don't understand what
the ramban means it's very
hard it's hard to do chuva you see as a
fact it's very hard for people to do
chuva
and uh and he
answers yeah that
doing chuva is
easy the hard part is recognizing that
you have to do
chuva or as the old joke goes how many
psychologists does it take to change a
light bulb one but only if the light
bulb wants to
change and
uh famous story with Shar say SAR made
Chua and he sees a young man and he says
no you doing chuva he says yes
he says for
what you know for varus he says like
what uh you know he goes well let's take
a
look did you kill anybody no oh good
good good AAR no ah good good good gilas
oh no very good and he keeps going down
the line he goes
bit sometimes but it was always with a I
always had a reason I wasn't and just
wasting time ah okay Lush
and sometimes but it was always with a
Tois a positive motivation you know and
finally says you Russia you'll never do
chuva you know why because you've never
done anything
wrong you spoke
you you never looked at a girl says the
that's called G you never embarrass
somebody that's called that's murder the
only reason you haven't served the V is
because the has the for it they cancel
it out otherwise you would been bowing
down to Idols too but you'll never
change because you've never done
anything
wrong
says if a person is willing to
recognize they've done something wrong
then the chuva itself comes
easy that's what the ramban means but if
you don't recognize that you've done
something something wrong and you can't
admit
it the first step of uh chuva is
V we have sinned I have done things that
are
wrong and you have to say it and you
have to admit
it my mother of blessed memory I
remember it was before y Kiper one she
says you know I was going over the M I
was looking through this list I didn't
see anything that applied to
me I said you Mom of course
not but there are people like that they
look at the ales and they go down the
line they say you
know
uh oh yeah I know a guy like
that oh I know a guy who's
about and they put it on everybody
else they don't see it on themselves
and so in order to change you have to
know that I've done wrong things and I
need to
improve the secret of Chua is to
recognize that we have to do chuva and
afterwards then we'll find it easy to do
