[Music] hasem says you have an appeal it's called yum Kip you have 10 days to prepare 10 days 10 days to prepare so now what do you do during those 10 days some people focus on going back to work make a little extra money so you could afford the next holidays you buy more food some people completely ignore the fact that there's 10 days of anything some people think that preparation for yum Kip is to get chickens get chicken put on top of your head it's a old me say you're my sins you're going to you know be a uh a a repentance for my sins take a chicken you Slaughter the chicken you put it over the head and then you Slaughter the chicken and they give the chicken to poor people again Shalom said you know it's very it's ridiculous that people do this he heard it from his Rob and heard from his Rob it's ridiculous that people do such a thing at least if you you're going to do something that's a that's going to be in essence a repentance for your sins it should be equal should be equal should be at least a cow your sins are the size of a cow not a chicken cow maybe cow two cows some of us five six cows a whole slew of cows chicken your if your sin's only chicken you don't have to worry about it don't do nothing so in reality it's better than killing a chicken and giving it to some poor person it's better to give money the value of a meal anywhere from $18 $26 is debatable the value of a meal for each person in the household the reason why is because number one the whole mean a of the chicken even though some people still follow it strange for many people that in the modern world today but still it's old Min you want to do it do it enjoy it but you'll get much more benefit out of actually giving the chicken full of your sins it's not really a really nice thing to give all those sins to some poor person they already have enough problems on their life now you give them a chicken full of your sins take their sins why you giving somebody your sins why don't cheat your sins why don't you eat the chicken or you're going to throw it out then then you're you know wasting it's not a ideal it's better to give it's better to give $18 to $26 per person uh and obviously there's levels ofak you can give it either to a homeless person that's a you know ideally a Jew or a person that's say learns t or for to help people do CH some for the purpose of T is ideal but nonetheless each person should do it before Yip the sooner the better simply because you don't want to wait till the last minute especially since this year Yip is before is on Shabbat so this is a the whole chicken aspect of it again it's a it's an old Minag some of the sages are very very heavy against it they think it's uh M you should not do it at all you should give to the that's it some still say you could do it as a but um again it's a in today's world there's a lot of people that uh use the slaughtering of chickens for no reason the wasting of chickens for no reason where you have communities slaughtering chickens just throwing them to the garbage they use this as an opportunity to they take pictures of all these chickens it's all dirty and disgusting tusting and so on take pictures look at this community how they're wasting so much there are people starving in different places around the country of the world how could they waste so much so in my opinion you shouldn't do the chicken but again it's just my opinion you do what you want so the ones that are preparing for Yip with a chicken said in reality you should do and realize that most likely you should have a cow or two or three or four cows that's some most sins we all have but even more so than that we have to ask ourselves the questions what does Hashem really want does he really want a chicken from us or a cow or two cows or five cows or money is that really what he wants is that what hasm wants the entire generation when he lived agreed that rebi is very rich from the family of raan Gamel in the lineage of David everyone agreed he was so holy that he never looked never looked below his belt forget waste seed he never looked below his belt that's why they called him re kados everyone agreed he was such a such a sadik such a straight person such a holy person they said if mashia came right now it would be rebi it will be him everyone a whole generation we're not talking about one two three four four students that like him this is by the way one of the requirements of the mashia all of need to agree he's the mashiah this is one of the best things to disprove this whole stupidity called Christianity or Messianic Judaism or Catholicism or whatever other names they have for this thing it's all the same thing of why there JC peny can never be the mssiah no one agreed he's the mssiah no one not even his own students the people that wrote about him didn't know him 300 years later or at best 70 years later at his time when he was alive everyone hated him so forget about Ador agreeing that he's the mashiah nobody agreed to nothing they killed him because he was a r but in the days of of rebi they said if the mashia came it would be him this by the way is also a case against anyone else that CLA that's uh claimed to be a mashiah whether it be theab which some people from kabat say he's the mashiah even though he already died or anyone else that they some other Rabbi that the people say he the mashiah the people don't decide the regular people don't decide who's the mashiah it's theor have to agree why because they see signs and so on there's a certain things that have to happen but nonetheless everyone said mashia comes hashem's going to choose rebi why he's the perfect person but rebi one day says he went to the butcher a big mansion multi-millionaire went to the Butcher and one of the CFS ran away from the butcher he was about to slaughter him for the hug ran away little calf ran away where'd he run to he ran to rebi and he hid under his like he had a gown like a not a gown a like a robe type of thing one of these things that Kings wear or wealthy people of that day wear and the little calf hid under the robe like protect me from this butcher what's the the law says the CF what does he come to the world for for some kosher Jew to slaughter him so in a Kosher Way feed him to other people before after they do a blessing and that's his tun and the soul of that calf gets raised to whatever it's supposed to get that's his T that's his purpose in life that's the AL that's his purpose so rabie looks at this calf the Tiding under his robe and he says go back go back to the butcher because for this is the reason why you were created that's the AL re was right but in sh they said you right you're right but you're wrong at the same time you're right that's the that's why the calf was created but in reality at your level you didn't show enough Mercy to this animal we're not talking about a person Rabbi nothing we're talking about a calf little cow said you didn't show enough mercy and for the next 13 years 13 years they gave rebi and sh they decided Reb's gonna have major major problems when he goes to the bathroom to such an extent that he would tell he had many many horses and he would tell the guy that's in charge of the people that in charge of the horses went to feed him a specific time went the time when he's going to the bathroom why because when he went to the bathroom he would scream such loud screams from pain he didn't want to make the people upset that feed the horses at this specific time because the horses when they eat they make a lot of noise so hopefully their noise is going to override my noise so no one is sorry and upset from hearing their Rabbi upset and in pain but the gar says despite feeding all these hundreds of horses rebi screams every time he went to the bathroom was they were able to hear it in the middle of the ocean such was the pain of rebi I can tell you from experience going to the bathroom peacefully without any screams without any yells anyone that experiences all of you you should thank God 500 times every day just for that just for that every day you should take 500 times I know I gave you guys the posters you should read that blessing extra just just just to thank AEM because you didn't just you didn't scream once forget the whole time you didn't scream once it's pain you guys want to show about gay know all the time it's pain where G know like you know what it's better it's an upgrade rebi 13 years he's suffering 13 years he's suffering screaming his lungs out now let me ask you guys a question again I heard this from him several times he ask a wonderful question R was holy not just holy everyone says this is mashia mhia he wrote the mishna put together the mishna the whole oral T that we have today is based on him he put it together holy sadik nothing missing every day what you think he do of course he did 5:00 in the morning he did judgment that he had every year like us he did why he didn't say I'm sorry he didn't do chuva what happened why did it keep coming back every day for 13 years what happened you say I'm sorry okay and you go back what happened why is it suffering continue why he didn't do he didn't say I'm sorry what happened sadik mashia no forgiveness 13 years why it's not about saying I'm sorry it's not about chickens it's about changing your midot and only 13 years later did rebi actually change that mid where he realized his real mistake sayu is nothing when you don't know what you're saying just saying it blindly but in the meantime you're looking at your phone ah stock market's up today good guys you just said you said I sinned against God I didn't know I sinned against God I didn't know I Sinn against God purpose that's what you said that's what you're saying just the last one should scare you to death I S on to hem on purpose to make him mad but do they look at the phone or they talk in B you know it's not a b if people don't talk in there if you go and everyone's praying in a it's not a it's something special maybe today you can't walk into a without everybody talking but not talking other things baseball football stock market sometimes their mood but there a time to pray is a time to learn everybody's learning you learn everybody's praying pray Rie knew this what you think he talk to mcom he didn't talk MC but Hashem didn't forgive 13 years he's given him pain why cuz only 13 years later did he realize the real mistake yes he Didu yes he did cha and he did and that everything but in reality only changed 13 years later when he saw one of the cleaning people and his mention she was trying to sweep off some say it's uh uh little uh mice others say it was kittens either way little animals she was sweeping them off with the broom he [Applause] hey Mercy you know they're living beings you can't just hit them like that and Sh said ah okay now you have mercy on animals that's even if it's not a sheep or cow or anything little mouse little kitten you Mercy you did cha means nothing if he didn't change if we didn't change stay home if you're continuing to talk in beet while everyone's praying stay home if you still continuing to be a is not going to help you there's actually a mish written for people like that that someone that says I'll make a sin but then I'll do I make a sin but Yip is going to help me he says no no no not only not going to help you not only is Yum Kip not going to help you it's not going to help you but if you continue acting like this make a joke of the system hasem is going to make sure you're not going to live long enough to do Chua such as such a jokey making of the system so Yip it's a time to appeal it's a time to say AEM I'm ready to change I'm ready to change [Music]
