Hey, [music] hey, hey. [music] Since the knew that even if somebody made sins and he did chuva, if that cha is based on fear, which 99.999% of all people that do cha, it's based on fear, uh if not 100% because fear is in essence the biggest motivator in the human psyche that converts all of the sins that were purposeful to accidental. Now although the punishment is not as dear, still there is a stain on their nashama. There's a stain on their nama. So they can't get rewarded in heaven the same way they'll get rewarded had they not had that stain. So what do you do for that? You do tikunim. What's the tikunim? Now the in previous generations would according to the said that each time a person wasted seed or he was with a lead or did any of these immoral sins they would have to fast a certain amount of time. So for example someone wasted seed they would have to fast 84 times for a single session a single sin 84 times. [music] If he was with a uh with a uh nida he has to fast 84 plus 82. So 166 times they'd have to fast. Now that's for a single sin. Now surely people sin more than once. So now in past generations people were able to fast a lot more than us. And there's also certain strategies where you could do a certain mitzvah that calculates that counts as if you fasted many [music] many times. If you fast for two days straight, you fast for three days straight. But most people can't handle that. Most people can barely handle fasting for one day. So what does the do including the balata? says, "Fast for one day during this time or any time really for the specific sin and the rest of the times that you've sinned, fix it. Do a tikun with money. Do a tikun with money." You go, you analyze how much it cost you to eat bare minimum of food per day. You multiply that by the number of fast you owe. So let's say for example, you send one time that's a wasting seed. That's 84. Cost of food, let's say $5. 5 time 84 is 420. So you have to give $420 in Dhaka. This is not part of Masel. This is not part of Masel because this is in essence money that you owe. It's like stolen money if you will. So $420 that you give a uh for the sake of this sin. Now you can't just give it to some zoo or some average local rabbi that just uh teaches nice things but doesn't talk about wheat. You have to give it specifically for the sake of this teachings. Meaning anyone whether it be myself or be anybody else in the world that teaches this subject and you want to help promote this subject and the publicity [music] of this kaduca this holiness in the world. This is what you donate for. This is what you donate for. And this is not just for men. This is also for women. Women that have been walking around immodest their whole life and caused men to waste seed. women that intentionally cause men to to waste seed whether it's with pictures uh films or even being with a person. Each time you're with somebody you have to do and also some even say they have dut for each time that she was with herself. The uh the benalom says that each time a woman is with herself, she's doing she's doing the wickedness of Egypt. That's why the Rambam forbids it in in the talks about it's forbidden for a woman to be like that. It's considered the acts of the Egyptians because they were immoral the Egyptians. So a woman that's immoral with herself, it's also a sin. And the Benishai says that she produces demons just like a man produces demons when he weighs seed. And those demons hurt them. They hurt their ability to make money. They hurt their ability to have children. They hurt their ability to uh to to learn. They hurt their ability to have schlite the put it this way. Some of the greatest mikubalim, some of the greatest mubelim we've had throughout all of the generation, including this generation, literally say this, the root of all of your problems, all of them, money, marriage, children, anything, health, the root of all of your problems is connected to the issue of breit. man or woman, the root of all of your problems, more than any other part of the Torah, the root of all of your problems, the the the father of all evil comes from the wasting seed comes from desecrating your kaduca, desecrating your holiness because that's your holiness. So this being an aospicious [music] time for that tikun is why you'll see certain kot certain congregations especially in the kidish world and some really serious sphartics and [music] some really serious you'll see that during this time there's teachings about this sometimes people learn in private sometimes they learn in sessions there's uh people fast uh once twice [music] three times a week most importantly a lot of people take whatever money they have instead of wasting money on stock markets and watches and sneakers and more uh more junk that they don't need, they use that money to publicize teachings like this. Why? This is [music] the root of all of your problems. So with that being said, [music] we have this time this we're starting this is the beginning of this is the time to fix We are meant to be a light unto the nations, not to follow their misguided practices. Remember, every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew. We don't celebrate non-Jewish holidays, even if they seem harmless. It's [music] ail disrespect to the Torah and could lead [music] to chalu hashem desecration of God's name. Stick [music] to our holy Torah and our own holidays. That's the path of a true Jew.
