Are you looking for Excitement? Try this week's Parshas HaChodesh: Stay Fresh - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

foreign people are always looking for something new something new excites people something that's the regular the usual it's the same old the same old when I was a boy I kept the diary most of my page is read regular day regular day as siblings my parents would you know laugh here I'm writing this diary and every day is almost the same day regular day the truth is it's not a regular day every day there's a hiddish there's a haidish there's something new I heard from your tourism is he told me that in the Babbage the instruction given by the Mashpee and the teachers to the students to the bahram to engage in thinking cedis before davening to inspire their davening to inspire their prayer involved two tracks two kinds one was the same thing every day for months until the idea became part of you the story that they always told over that I heard for that mail retrie Boulevard that he thought about the concept of as explained at Great length on their abundant office different discourses in which he talks a lot about the Bittle Hayes the obliteration of self and of existence and all of these Concepts it's so much so that he thought about it for for days and weeks and months that when he would go out chop us go home after he darvaned he walked into a tree because it was all enable Valley there's nothing else besides God so he's totally immersed and lost the thought and the fact that the tree there there's no tree but there is a tree but in his mind he was elsewhere again this isn't the only example and I'm not saying we should walk into trees and be absent-minded but the idea is that the person becomes so attached to the idea that the idea swallows them they become the idea then that a bathroom said there was another simultaneous instruction to the students before they die that during before their diving during the dabbing they should also think about something new that they learned that day or yesterday something new that they haven't thought about and really internalized and why because this will give them the intellectual excitement to pursue the idea and the idea of course was about godliness and concepts of God hasidus Etc this will keep them fresh so we see clearly that that both are necessary there is the same old the same old kind of tradition tradition you don't want to break from tradition and at the same time within tradition you need to have an innovation and this is the idea of this coming month s as it's associated with this Shabbos Shabbos we have to be new fresh it was a concert named Rubin he was from Islam and then he made his way to Shanghai and then to Montreal it was for many hours and he was about managing he had a saying I would say in the davening on is that a person has to have Anaya Kepler Russia from the word rush I had a cup foreign cup your your your your connections with Hashem using your mind has to be fresh and new daily otherwise uh the same old the same old thing and the truth is when you learn to tell you to when you do mixes when you have obviously slow and it's all permeated with Hasidic thought hasidus you'll find more of the Swedish hasidis is such a teaching it doesn't let you become old and stale it doesn't if you learn it properly and if you don't want to tell it what it should mean but you are looking to ex receive what it has to teach you then you'll be fresh you'll be fresh every day and we'll get up in the morning you'll say I'm ready to take apart the day I'm ready for the challenges of the day what's gonna be new today how am I gonna overcome and how am I gonna make of it this the most successful day so when we come to school the Shabbos and we celebrate it's a global message for us in our overall Family Life relationships business life to find hidush and therefore when people come and say sometimes well you know I'm bored in my job should I leave my job some will even say I'm born in my marriage should I leave my marriage the answer is no make a hindish within your marriage make a hiddish within your job and naturally if you're not allowed to make and it stifles you to the point where you become stale and old and as we call burnt out you need more care therapy rabbis counselors God Rebels there's no one answer for everyone but then the good there is the point is not to vacate tradition you see over the centuries there have been innovators and very creative ones and very talented ones but many of them dumped the past they they said forget it that was for that time and today we need something totally different of the Holy belshant have brought his within the framework of Taylor Judaism of halacha and gemara is and not just to understand the taste was better which of course is true and necessary but within your life Hashem in the service of God and in your relationships with your spouse and your children and your teenagers and your parents and your rabbis and your employers find the Kiddush and trust me when you when you when you show the other that you're loyal in the tradition you're loyal to the relationship and the commitment but yet you want it revoke in them also a desire for you'll see try it May Hashem help that from this Shabbos which I said is also Shabbos kasak we get the kayak and vayake to gather eaten together could they counting them in a way where everyone is important says something that is countable lay Buckle is not nullified it's important on its own Gathering Jews together in a way that everyone is significant everyone and and you mean it everyone's significant then you have and that leads to the kadash and then we come into the udal of Nissan which is upcoming the rapper's birthday and pesach foreign
