Yom Kippur - How could you eat?

Hi, this is David Alowski. Welcome to the special Rabbi Alolowski show and a bridged version with different ideas to get us ready for this holiday season. Yum kipper is an interesting day. It's of course a yontiff, but the Torah indicates so is the 9th. And the kazal tell us that as much as it is a mitzvah to fast on yum kipper, it is a mitzvah to eat on Arab. Amazing, right? The ninth and the 10th. And there's different reasons for it. Some are less positive because if you know after you've eaten a lot, it's harder for you to fast. All right? So you have a big suit and you go into shul you start to slowly slowly feel yourself you suffer. That's one of the reasons that the mammod the the Jews who would um set up special groups who would fast and learn and davin while the kabonos were going on when it was their turn to represent the sib they wouldn't fast on Sunday because it was too hard to fast on the day right after coming out of shabas when you ate so much. So since there's a mitzvah of nephesh on yum kiper to to suffer. So this actually increases the suffering. There's a more positive idea and that is that yum kiper is supposed to be a yantiff and we're supposed to be eating sudas. They tell a story through now when there was a break in yam kipra he invites a few people home with him and the table is all set. and he fills up the bea with wine and this guy's going, "What is with these German Jews? This is the craziest thing I've ever seen." And he lifts up the kais and he says, "Today is really we should make kdish. We should have a suda, but we're not cuz you said so." So we eat on the 9th on Arab kipper to get in those sudas that we're supposed to be eating on yam kipra because it's not somebody said to me once the difference between tishab and yam kipper the two longest fasts he says on tishab who wants to eat if you really thought about the and all of our suffering who wants to eat. We lack that sensitivity. But David Brisa um when there were all the terrorist attacks taking place in the '9s, 1990s, and it was becoming very common place. Somebody told him there was a terrorist attack and he was very upset. And this was there had been like one every day for like months. So there was terrorist attack and his wife said you know you know I made I made your lunch. He goes how could anyone eat after that? Who wants to eat? How could you eat? You're in such a love of kaduca. You're like a malik. We dress in white. We say out loud. We stand for as much as we can because malim don't have knees. They don't sit and we're like malim don't eat. We don't eat. We're on this level of total rrook. And so we get in the eating beforehand to prepare us for this special special day. will forgive all of your sins on that's a it's it's a Hashem is guaranteeing us this unbelievable opportunity and all of us should work hard to take advantage of it as much as we can. Everyone should be to Lashana Tova from sunny Los Angeles. >> I'd like to wish everybody All the listeners of this show, the show, I want to wish you and all the listeners should be a year full of only good pour down on you, your family, all the listeners and all this is just a year of only good news and only good things.
