Rabbi Goldwasser: Hoshana Rabbah 2020 Marathon

what a great skills it is that throughout the entire world on virtually every continent we are all united in the study of torah through torah anytime may they continue their outstanding efforts lahagdal and have all the things that they need all the resources in order to continue their unbelievable work i would also like to thank hazak an organization that is very close to my heart for all that they do to promote shmira mitzvos in total learning to people of all backgrounds across the board their work together with torah anytime is bringing meshiach may they continue is a day that is huge it's a day that i can't even explain the greatness within the amount of time that we have for this year it is beyond our understanding the reconti talks about what happens on the night of ashanarabha talks about the moon on the night of hashanah and a person that goes out to check their shadow so great is the night of oshana rabba it's bigger than we can ever imagine there was a man that came to me last week and he says rabbi i want you to know my whole young kipper i was not able to be mahavin i couldn't have kavanagh i did some aberyst this year that i doubt there is forgiveness for those of various for those sins and so my whole young kiprah was down my whole young kipper i just gave up i was miaish what does hashem even want me to come to yom kipper for i did all these awareness and i know what i did and i know i shouldn't have done it then i come to show and i sit down there like a malach hashem i'm afraid that hashem is telling me you know what why don't you just leave go ahead do what you want i said has to show them never and i began to tell him all of the torahs all the things that it says in the rambam that even today a person might be despised even today a person could be someone who is detested however if they do chuva hashem calls them a karov a person that is close a indeed a special close beloved friend of hashem hashem says i want you please just do chiva i explained it to him so he said yeah but i missed you kipper miss young kipper i'm done i'm finished i can't even tell you what i thought during neelah i was gone it's like i wasn't there i said to him you don't have to worry we have hoshanah rabbah hoshanah rabbah is huge hoshanah rabbah is for everybody that might have messed up in elol in rosh hashanah during that series he made children even on yom kippur even on yom kippur a person could mess up but hoshanah rabbah comes to tell us all that gives us one more chance hashemis barack tells us that we have the opportunity to get a good hasimah to get the gemara toy to get the good seal in which a person will have a year a bracha a year of hat sloka a year of shalom bayes a year of paranosa a year when all the children should go in the daraka torah a year of refusing yeshua's a year that an individual has everything that they want all the brachus in life you just have to know to daven to be miss paladin to do chuba on a rabbit to sing on hoshanah rabbah to cry on hashem on a shana rabba you take it very seriously you know we're about to go after hashana rabba to shemini at saras and simchastara why we singing why are we dancing so much all of a sudden singing and dancing the reason is kapoor it says it's because everybody can be assured that on hashem rabba we were all forgiven we were all granted the pardon that we need and i told this man please i'm begging you come to dubbin together with me pray together with me and i will show you tila after tv i will show you the prayers that you need to say i will help you that you should feel that you rectified your entire year he broke down and he cried he said i never realized it hashana rabba i never realized what it is if it means that much i'm going to make sure that hashem rabba is the proper hoshanaraba for me i'm going to make sure that this year it's going to be something serious but rebbe do you promise me that i can make up for what i missed on yom kippur although it is not our way to promise to give a haftah to this yid i felt so bad for him in his emissary how he was broken over the fact that his yom kippur was not what he wanted it to be i promised him if you will do what you need to do i can promise you that hoshanah rabbah has the power of slicha in kapara and so it is that the day of rabbah is it is a precious present that has been given to us by hashem honor hashem na is non-aleph non aleph is 51 hoshanah rabbah is the 51st day from the beginning of elo it is the day when every yid can come and pour out their hearts to hashem can cry and beg hashem for this year that everything will be good that everything will be sweet i want you to know that it is the moment on hashem rabbah at the time when we do the minigame of beating the hoshanahs we take the willows in hand and we beat them it does not mean that a person has to beat them hard it just means that a person does it in a way and in fact the leaves should remain on until the end of hashanas those hoshanas will protect us some put them in the show some people take them home some people carry them as it is brought down as a smearer and in fact the orsomaya was asked by jewish soldiers that were being sent into the front lines on world war one they came to the ortho merc and they said rebbe rabbeno bless us give us something tell us something it's going to protect us the greater sumayah ramirez went and gave each one an arava and told them take the arabah and you'll take it into war with you and it will help you every soldier that received the arava returned home safely the kayak of the hoshanah the kayak the fact that we are able to say to hashem hoshanah and you know an interesting thing the last thing we say on ashana rabbo is hashem please accept your children your sons and your daughters who are the sons and the daughters that's me and you that is everybody we say hashem we're your children we are your children hashem you gotta have rachmanas on us nobody else will only you it also means except your children don't worry if they listen to you don't worry if they didn't listen to you don't worry if they went in the right era or has to show them they went in a different era don't worry if they look exactly like you or they don't look exactly like you i cannot tell you how careful a person has to be with the young children in this day and age with teenagers in this day and age with the young marrieds in this day and age show them your great love bring them close and so on yum kippur it was interesting many people came from all over but the question was asked by rabbi al-kharif how could it be there was no mitzvah aliyah sa ragel to go up to appear that was only at the time of the sloshrigalim pesach and sukhos yom kippur there was no din there was no mitsub to be oil region to come to the base of migos why did they come to the base of mikdos there was a reason they came in order to see that thread that thread that was shared by the sierra mist by that one the he goat that had all of the various all the sins of claudius well on its head and that thread that was put up over the hallway that led into the mikdash that was red it was scarlet it was deep red cloud israel came to see if all of their sins had been forgiven because then it would turn white it would turn white cashel egg just like snow as it says that if your sins are going to be red like scarlet kashila galbinu hashem will purify you hashem will make you holy hashem will forgive you hashem will pardon you and that simin hashem gave to us is that it turned white all of clay israel came to see that their sins were forgiven and they all rejoiced there wasn't a greater time of simcha than this particular moment when it would turn white one of khas to show them the thread would remain red claudius would have tremendous fear they would be shaking why because they realized that they would have to supplicate they would have to dive and be mispalable into hashem that hashem forgives us that is the pella that they came to see with their own eyes i guarantee you if people would understand what hoshanah rabbah is they would understand it's no less than coming to see that thread that khut in the vasa mikras the same thing happens when a person dovens when we pray on hashana rabbah that thread even if it is kashan even is like red it turns white that is the power that is the unbelievable moment on hoshanah rabbah it is the moment of juva it is the moment of repentance however there are many people that say what are my trilos what are my twilights who am i hatsanik or great zadecas will go and they will daven so then maybe it'll mean something but if i darwin what does it mean what power do i have i got to ask somebody else to devin i have an entire list of people that asked me to doven for them for numerous things in fact it goes on about 10 pages and i take it on yom kippur i take it by neela and i also take it on hashanaraba but the truth is the people on that list they could have been for themselves i am thrilled to daven for them but they also have a kayako trilo many people don't understand it even an individual didn't do the right thing even an individual wasted the whole year or something even worse even the person did things that were anti-torah they missed the mitzvahs or they did aveiras it says in shira shirim kefala khariman rakasev even the emptiest ones as it says in the muse even the emptiest ones among cloud israel are filled with missiles like a remind like a pomegranate you open it up and it's bursting with all of the seeds unbelievable that's in every yeed in the worst yeed if you could say that on a jew in the person that is missing mitzvahs and the person is a bala vera even that individual is malay they're filled with mitzvos like a remind like the pomegranate is filled with seeds i never will forget there's a yeed that came in to me and said i don't think that there is a bigger balavera in the world i don't think that anybody has ever done more sins than i did i said why do you think that you did so many sins he said rebbe i'm telling you i know do you know anybody that stole from their own mother i said i don't know anybody personally but i'm sure there is a person that probably did he said well i want you to know i have a gambling addiction and i stole my mother's ring and i pawned it and i was able to get money in order to go to gamble at the tables that's what i did with my mother's ring that she got when she got engaged to my father that's the only thing she really has that was worth anything and i stole it and you know she still continues to look around the house where did i misplace that ring where is it so i asked you rebbe rove is there anybody worse than me i said i tell you the truth i don't think that you're bad at all you came to me you did something that most people would not have the power the gumption the omens the courage to do you came and you confessed you said what you did you were honest at least you admitted to what you did that's the first step of chuva we can replace the ring we can give your mother the ring we can buy her a nicer ring one day you should be able to afford it one day you should be able to see your way clear of all addictions and be able to go up the madregas but at least you began by saying what you did that's the first step that's what we do in oshanarabha we get real an interesting thing is that when adam are resigned if you remember other marichon so he ate from the eight sadas when he ate from the eight zadas hashem came to him adam what did you do so the message tells us something fantastic adam said i ate the light and i'm going to eat more i did this available i'm going to do more all the first of them asked the question this is crazy this is crazy it's like the child uh didn't go cut class didn't go to school and he's in the pizza shop and then all of a sudden the principal the manal comes in and says to him let me ask you what are you doing you're supposed to be in class and he says today i'm cutting class and next wednesday i'm going to cut class again how could he do that he's getting himself into deeper trouble so how could adam ahrisha said you know what i'm going to eat more says the great gedoli moosa you know why that answer was accepted because adam knew himself he was saying the truth he was saying until this is cleared up i'm still going to do a virus he was honest enough to say what it was that was inside of him is when we say everything honestly and when we realize that each of us has a of tefila has a very strong power even a person that does a various even a person that does things that are wrong it's an interesting incident that happened there was a group of their beggars and they went from city to city to beg beg for money everybody took a look at them there were people they did a various they were people that they didn't have a chance to do that many mitzvahs so wherever they would go people would give them just a few coins they noticed however that when the great rabbis would come when the great siddique would come to the city and then all of a sudden they would make a cabela's pawn him and everyone would come over to them everybody would ask for their bracha they would make a private appointment they would give a fittle they would get a pigeon naturally they would get money and these beggars began to get a great idea they discussed it among themselves and then all of a sudden they decided one of the beggars was going to be the rebber in fact they were going to call him the kremnitzereva and he was going to get dressed up they were going to get a black coat from somewhere a long coat and he was going to come in and the other beggars were going to be as hasidim and in fact one was going to be a gaba so when they came in to town all of them started to say you don't know who's coming to town the great kremnitsarabha he's coming in and everybody you better hurry to make an appointment with him because usually when he comes into town nobody can get to him they're such a crowd people begin to tumble kremlin whoa he's coming i need brachus i need yeshua so i need everything so i'm going to go and run to him by the time the kremlin tsureba came to town everybody ran they went into line they were eager to meet to the rabbit and to get his bracha everyone cried this one needed panasonic this one needed the yeshua that one needed shalom bias and the kremlin sarabha a total fake sat there and gave the blessings over and he said whatever he said to each one and he answered each one and they were paying money all of a sudden there was one person that came in and the person said rabbit i need your help i need a yeshua i have a daughter laura leno alcobase israel desperately desperately ill she is in need of a reformed shalema and i beg you to be misfollowed for her recovery the rebel knew he's not sonic he knew who he is and he couldn't possibly help him the rabbit stammered and he sputtered and he said to him i'm sorry i don't think that there is anything that i can do to help you the balabus was so upset that the rabbit told him he should come back later when he came back later he begged the rabbi i beg you i have nobody else to ask you don't know how my daughter looks right now you don't understand she was a lebanese kin and now she is hovering between benjamin and he kept begging him and begging him the rebels said but i don't know what i can do. all the other people he said the balabus all the other people came and you gave them all brochures you did everything for them why can't you help me finally the rebels said i'm going to doven for her but i can't guarantee it i can't guarantee i accomplish anything when this petitioner left the kremlin forever burst into tears he said hashem i'm a total fake i understand it however this yi believes in me he thinks i can save his daughter i'm just a simple person but don't allow this individual to lose his faith because of me it's not fair hashem please send that refusal layman to the daughter i know i'm nobody but you're the call yahoo you can bring her approved for shalema indeed he broke down and cried later that week the petitioner came back he said rebbe i don't know how i could ever thank you i don't know what i could ever do to pay for your kindness you feel us were answered you are a real tsaddik my daughter is well on the way to reforeshalema the heiliger ramashuku bringer said there is nothing as whole as a broken heart what we need on hoshanah rabbah is a broken heart what we need on hoshanah rabbah is the ability to see ourselves as we really are and to beg hashem knowing the greatness of the day knowing the greatness of the slichen capara anyam kippur that we should have everything that we need for the following year all an individual needs to do is to show that they have a tremendous urge a tremendous need to be close to hashem to be dorvik to hashem interesting thing we take the arava the arava is the cheapest of all the meaning it's the lowest of all the meaning it doesn't have time it doesn't have reach it doesn't have taste it does have aroma doesn't have fragrance doesn't have anything it symbolizes the jew that doesn't have tyrant doesn't have mitzvahs why is it that on hoshanah rabbah we take the arava and we march around without a rubber why was that the service in the basement the reason is because we learned that even the yi that is for all intensive purposes outside of the community has not attached him or herself to torah mitsus but you know what happens during circus it stayed together that a rubber that lonely yeed stayed together with the proud esrig with the tall lulav with the beautiful hadassim and the lowly willow tried to attach itself and wanted to change however afterwards it remained the arava and explains to hashem hashem i tried to become different unfortunately i didn't i'm still the same older that i always was hashemiswaraq says as long as you had the interest as long as you had the dream this as long as that's what you wanted to do you wanted to go higher even though you weren't much leah even though you weren't successful i will take that idea that you had that you wanted to be closer to me and you will get forgiveness that is all a person needs to do is to say i'm in a rubber and the most beautiful thing is that the rubber are the lips the rubbers we learn eludes the lips it's the lips that a person davens with hashem says that's all i want doesn't matter to me where you're at on the spectrum doesn't matter to me how high you are doesn't matter to me how low you are all that matters to me is that you want to daven that you want to get close that you want to go this year a little bit higher the great ramnachman of breslif asked the question why is it interesting i once went to davan maharav in borough park just to pray our beat so there was one show that the lights were on and someone called out marev madam minion i ran in and i died in marav after marav there was a riku and the people were dancing and dancing so i felt it was a simcha i should join in you have to be mistatte you have to have since when other people have similar some dancing and they're dancing and dancing and dancing finally i tapped the guy on the shoulder and i said could you tell me what is the simcha that everybody is dancing about he said no impressive we dance every night this is no different so the kutte maran says why do we dance what is the great avoid of dancing he said i'm going to tell you i love a riku i love dancing because when a person dances they lift their foot ever so slightly off the floor off the ground they show that they want to go closer to hashem they want to lift themselves up higher they want to strive for a higher station in life and that is on hoshanah to get a little bit higher to leave the ground to leave the floor even temporarily to show that we aspire for greatness that hashem will bring us a year field of simcha a year filled with reforms in yeshua's a year of masul a year broke a year of actos a year of abbas israel a year when all of us can be misamiyah together without any limitations at each other's simchas a year when hashemus barak will bring the gula the redemption and mashiach in kenya will come together and we will all dance together with the great sadiq and we will have the greatest greatest simcha of all the generations
