Now, how do you know that you're actually doing chuva? Now, you know why? Because you have a keep on your wearing uh different clothes. That means you did chuva. I saw I there's this uh certain particular person, this woman. Honestly, I think she's related to Haman. In my opinion, she's related to Ham. She's been torturing us for the last few months. And I think she's related to Haman, but she wears a kis like you think she just came from Mount Sai. So is not necessarily even the the Muslim terrorist wears kisul. Keepa plenty of people wear kipa while they do a lot of bad things. Exterior doesn't mean that much. Obviously, the exterior needs to fit the interior. But the point is, how do you know if you're doing chuva? One sign, one sign is when you get to the point where you're disgusted with the sins you've made in the past to such a point that it's encouraging you to stop. Now, just being disgusted and upset about your past, that could simply be just why he wants you to say, "Oh, you're such a sinner. You did this. You did this." Ah, there's no hope for you. You lose hope and you uh decide to be for the rest of your life. That's but that wants you to do the good inclination also wants to remind you you know all those things you used to do used to see this used to watch this you used to do do all those things you used to do it's no good okay that's why you did chuva okay next year by the way remember those things yeah I did chuva for them no not really why supposed to be sorry what I stopped okay stop is one thing you have to be sorry for them too how could I be sorry I had a lot of fun with that girl, with that guy, with the this. How could it? Oh, so you didn't do chuva yet. If you're still talking about your life before you did chuva, oh, remember when we're with that girl and with the guy and went to here and went to there, went the money and with the this and I took that guy and I did that. You remember all that stuff? Oh, you're still celebrating it. You haven't begun chuva. All you did is change clothing. All you did is change clothing and you became a robot to keep Shabbat. That's it. Is fixing the the inside. That's takes time. Takes time. Takes effort. It's not automatic. It's not like Shabbat where you know what if you sleep all day for 25 hours straight, you kept Shabbat. Technically, it's not on Shabbat, but you at least you didn't violate it. It's not something that just happens automatically. You have to actually work here. You have to work on your midot. We have to work on our midot. So this series is one that's helping me at least work on my midot. And some people are telling me that it's also helping them drastically.
