Strategize Sukkot

[Music] the other thing about sukot that we're so excited about the party because it's a very big day and the uh the toraat says that this is a day technically that if the go knew how significant the sukot is they would celebrate because this is a day that will bring for all 70 Nations every day they will bring to the bet mikdash in their name so if the go knew that we're actually bringing we're bringing sacrifices in their names not only they wouldn't have destroyed the bet mikash they would have actually sent their armies to protect the betam midash because all of their p all of their good all of everything that they have depends on what happens now so they would protect the bet mikdash but unfortunately didn't know so they ruined it but we get so carried away with the party which we're supposed to that sometimes we forget about the promises we made during Yip and during when we ask theem for another chance for another year let me live another year so I could do more mitv let me live another year so I could do more let me do this let me you want another chance nobody wants to die doesn't matter whether you're 50 or you're 5 doesn't make a difference Noah over 600 doesn't want to die nobody wants to die everybody wants to live so you say give me more chance the problem is that we made a lot of promises we made a deal with hm if you listen to the you made a deal with so the m in 49 says so it says whoever paid the punishment to the generation of the flood dul and the generation of the Tower of Babel Daga he will pay punishment to to the one who doesn't stand by his own words so what does this mean what's theot here says the same one that punished those two awful Generations who is it it's God God punished the generation of Noah for many reasons they were stealing they were going against nature they were going against a lot of different things the last thing that uh was uh the the killer was also they were committing murder both through actually killing people also by wasting seed which we learned in the past now Hashem destroyed them the Tower of Babel they try to build a tower we're going to learn about in a couple of weeks to go to war with God cuz they figured listen Hashem destroyed the world after 1600 years after he created the world so maybe he he builds a world 1600 years lady destroys it and builds it again so let's build a tower be ahead of him let's build a tower so the next time he wants to flood the world we're already going to be on top of the tower so you can't drown us so only 300 years later a little over 300 years after the the the uh Noah's flood they're already going against God and it's not like they don't know it's it happened shim shim is still alive he's telling him what are you guys doing you're going against God I was there I saw what he did but they said no no no maybe it's because he did it once every 1600 years every this you know it's like well people put use uh different uh numbers numerology to connect everything somehow because everything ends in eight that means that mashia is coming in number eight or because of this so people try to connect everything all the time said it's cute but it's doesn't always work so here we have two awful awful Generations but the mishna says someone that makes a promise and doesn't keep it he's the same like them it's a little bit extreme sounds like a little M sounds like a little bit you know relax a little bit no what happened made a promise I didn't keep it okay but you comparing me to they were they had uh intimate you know not only not just intim marriage they went with animals they did all types of awful awful things even the animals were Sinners zebra went with the lion the lion went with the uh all things went against nature you're comparing me to them because I made a promise I didn't keep it Shem says yes there's only one person in the entire Torah that hasem actually writes him I hated him par killed millions and millions of Jews millions of Jews he used to every day take Jewish babies kill them and then take a bath in their blood why because his uh magicians told him thatat said the way that you curat is if you bathe in Jewish blood this the craziness of people so he would kill Millions like there were flies no questions asked Hashem doesn't say I hated Paul killed so many Jews that there was a river of blood Amash a river of blood they say that reached the stomach of horses awful awful sh says doesn't say anything about I hated him doesn't say he has no share of the world to come they're both in G forever all that but he doesn't say I hated him who did it say I hated in the book of isah says him I hated him why his brother is Jakob his father isor big Rabbi his grandfather's abrah ainu the biggest he hate him everybody says my father is a rabbi therefore for ASA his father his brother his his grandfather everybody was the giant giant giant giant butm says him I hated him why hated him every night asab would make promises tomorrow I'm going to go to beess he wouldn't go tomorrow I'm going to do cha he didn't do Cha tomorrow I'm going to be a sadik he wasn't a sadik every day every night he would make promises and break them so this mishna is referring to him this mishna is referring to someone that acts like him you make promises and you break them you're no different than asav what happened with dul what does it have to do with dul says dul Hashem made a promise to Noah he says tell the generation that if they don't do Chua I'm going to destroy the world I'm going to destroy the world and he kept his world he kept his word even though it took over a hundred years no one did chuva hasem kept his word that's it hasem showed that whatever he says he means he doesn't change his mind same thing with the Tower of Babel Tower of Babel Hashem didn't destroy them right away he gave them a chance he gave them another chance and another chance and another chance when did he decide to destroy them when they started going against each other when he changed their language so they couldn't keep each other's word they would make promises and they couldn't keep it says oh once you don't have a word you don't have the right to exist so the same thing with asav asav made a lot of promises but he would break the promise says once you don't have a word you have no right to exist there's no point of you no one knows if you're going to go right you're going to go left there's no point Shem says as said why he goes against my nature what's my nature I say something I keep it I make a promisees I keep it so now this is very very important to know that all the promises you made on Yip whatever you plan to do this year you have to do your best your absolute best to keep them of course it's going to be certain things you're going to mess up of course there's going to be certain things you're just not going to be able to do Hashem is not paying you uh a reward of punishment based on execution he's paying you reward and Punishment based on effort he knows if you're going to succeed or not he knows if you could do it or not because all of us we go to besset you after your B for a couple days you start feeling like an angel you start feeling like you could fly maybe m is going to talk to you maybe has is going to start talking to you from the sky everything has is going to talk to them you're in for so long you're for sure he's going to talk to you or maybe I'm the only one takes was going to talk to him I don't know maybe I'm the only crazy one so oh the thing is though is that you think at some point you're a sadik so sometimes you make a promise I'm going to do this I'm going to do this tomorrow I'm going to what 5 o'clock in the morning I'm there six o'clock I'm there make it four I'll go there also next day you sleep till 11 what happened you said you're going to come at 4 o00 sh wants you to stay asleep why I want to remind you you're human I know you felt like an angel for a second but the first day I want to remind you you're human you're going to go you're going to go to tomorrow the next day you to but relax you're still human you going to fail sometimes it's okay it's not the end of the world so he's not rewarding you or punishing you Shalom based on whether you succeed in everything you say he's rewarding you or punishing you based on whether you keep your word on trying are you really trying your best M you're trying your best if you're trying your best you're not trying your best you're making a joke of the system and that's actually one of the things things that Hashem actually punished Yuan y going to learn about him in about a month from now Yu left his uh parents house ran away from asav and even though hasem hated asav and loved yov it says I love yov and I hate still when yov was planning on going to come back to his parents he made a swear he made a vow that he's going to go to his parents but on the way he decided you know what maybe I should take a stop and go somewhere else first Hashem sent them at that moment Hashem sent them punishment why he says if you don't go and fulfill this n this vow that you made to go see your parents now you and as are the same that's how important keeping your word is to Hashem so even yob was in danger for this so whatever promises you made to Hashem during this holiday over you have to start strategy how you can actually do it party enjoy eat whatever you have to do but remember you have to actually fulfill This Promise we're very excited to offer you
