Maamar Hayom 1941#2-Difference bet Yearly and RH Kabalas Ol-Dancing into Slichos

and we are on the second place on page 30. let's get right into the text having kosair the service the activity that's most important donation is to regret what you did in the past and to accept upon yourself good resolutions that you won't do it anymore for the future and we emphasize the primary focus is on kabbalah soil that the resolution to be better in the future should come from a perspective of kabbalah soil kabbalah means accepting the yoke of hashem whether you understand or you don't understand and all that basically you should that should be the focus okay is different in the couple of soil that we talk about that one is that's necessary for a year to have throughout the year and he says what's the difference throughout the year the emphasis is on action the visualization of nephesh regarding the three garments of the soul thought marsha of a deeper speech and mice in action which are below the inner faculties of middles of emotions and american in other words what psychology calls behavior modification behavior change your behavior even if you feel otherwise and even if you think otherwise just be obedient and listen and not only listen in your actual behavior but also in your speech which is also behavior and even in your thought i tell you don't think about this block this out of your head divert your attention just just do it don't say well i need to understand why i shouldn't think about it i mean that's that's also important but that's not what we're talking about when we talk about kabbalah soil throughout the year okay what's the type of kabbalah soil hero that we're looking for on rosh hashanah who but i it's not just about being obedient it's much deeper it's within the depth of the soul and he explains the cell of the midsole the mitzvah revelation that's why i think i told you it's worth repeating that my third messifta rebbe rabbishvale of shalom taught us that when we get up in the morning the morning after we say brachas and we're dressed we should have in mind today i'm going to fulfill my obligation my tight obligation of shay farm through listening to the schaefer or if you're about to care through blowing the schaefer because if you do not have that kavanagh you have to re listen to schaefer it's it's it's obligatory to have that kavanagh so the rebels says here and this is hayoin the mitzvah of the day is schaefer robert robbie imagine sorry you mentioned yesterday remember about uh about the lift box right you're talking about it so is he alluding to hear that the obedience meaning like the lit box they have the obedience aspect they have that down but they don't necessarily have the hair gish i don't believe that's what he's alluding to here i mean you want to extrapolate you you can but that's not the shot in the mirror shot in the mime is talking to every single yi that is i would say he's talking more to those that are learning siddhis and they're thinking about these things but he's talking to everyone he's explaining what's the difference hazal in other words as froome eden we know that the midfield should be dumb cupboard every day we say so the question that that he's answering is so what's the difference between the couple of soil throughout the year and the couple of sunlight and it's a question that we should ask ourselves and that was giving the answer the difference is that it's not just about the practical the obedience and maksha but myself but it's it needs to touch the kabbalah celebration i make opinion the depth and the innermost of your soul and he explains let's listen to this explanation the mitsubishi right for the hint that trey for alludes to made it allah 10 days of chuva we mention hashem with all kinds of descriptions all about king being the king and kingship the shame just as in the beginning hashem um in inscribed kind of himself the concept of melech um with the permission and the will of the king of god to us god listen to this god permitted himself to to want to be a king and what does that mean hillel what does it mean that hashem permitted himself what that means is the following in order for a melech to want to be a king he needs to evoke in himself the idea that i want to be a king you could you he could have subjects bowing to him and and giving him their word that they want him and he says i'm not interested as we say in good old years that the goodness tells you it won't help you at all it won't help you so first the melech has to decide within himself that i want to be king and that's what it says the king permits himself and desires being king the oz at that point there was an arousal by god himself by hashem to want a creature it from the perspective of kingship aval that this was at the this was pre-creation and if hashem didn't have that rasha if the king the president doesn't want to be president scream from today to tomorrow and show him how much you care he's still not interested so so when we talk about our subservience to hashem each we want you as our king and we'll behave better right and all that that comes only after he decided that he wants to be king can i suggest something sure about this that he permitted himself it's based on something i read in arya kaplan's books that only and he is lacking nothing if he is lacking nothing what's to want so to say that he permitted himself his perhaps a workaround that hashem is perfect that he's that he is complete well this is a a long discussion and see this uh uh you know a lot a lot a lot of discussion about this but it's not to want the way the want is by us that's the difference between god and us god's want is because he decided he wants so it's coming from him and it's coming from him as he is god in his wholesomeness and completion there's nothing lacking but nevertheless he decided to want so if that's what you're saying if that's what kaplan is saying then it's the same idea that's pronunciation if that's not what kaplan is saying then i guess it's another idea so it's not uh [Music] now listen to this now once hashem created the world he's like in in the world now it's up to us to keep him there and that's what we do already we seek to say to hashem you you created the world you said you want a world please keep being here and we will show you that we are dedicated to you okay so that's the difference between pre-creation and post-creation but he didn't really elaborate here on this concept joining us of what does it mean that the avoid of resha is premium it just says this is the difference between throughout the year when you say shema et cetera so what's the difference what what does that mean the depth and and the inner inner aspect of nafta so basically just think of ourselves when we are obedient when we do what others want us to do it doesn't mean we're happy about it in fact we can be very unhappy many people have jobs and they're not happy with their jobs right when i told you dennis prager speaking to a thousand young young people at the spartak wilshire temple it's freddie temple on wilshire boulevard of westwood in california and he says how many could you can raise your hand and say you love the work you're doing and a certain amount of hands went up and then he said and how many you can say i love the work i'm doing and i'm getting paid for it as well less hands went up so think about that and avoid this hashem to to be able to say i enjoy i enjoy putting on film i enjoy learning i enjoy that's enough that comes from it if if you really enjoy it it comes from deep inside it doesn't come from just doing it doesn't remember i told you also i'm just when my son my son who when he was a teenager and he needed help in gamora so i was dominating at the squarish steeple in borough park so i asked someone who was diving there and i said i i want to pay you could you could you little my son tutor and hit sure and and um and he did a great job my son enjoyed it it was a great great great so i said to him as i see that you love learning he says i don't love really learning i said but you're learning the whole time he was i mean besides work you're learning and learning to learn he says i don't love learning i learned because that's what i was taught to do is to learn you know you know remember what i told you how do you know if you love something and you real this is really a cup of tea and this is where your real highest is it's what you do between hours between the innings do you stretch between the innings or are you studying the scorecards you know what did he do and what hand you know you see on the football now the football season how on the sidelines the entire time there the coaches not the guys in the back are drinking beer and just laughing and goofing off but those that are doing the water you know they're studying even even if they're on top that they're involved the hospital the same thing is with with taylor and yiddish kite it's not it's not about you know um uh just doing and and i and i just for a moment this is so important to communicate to the younger generation children grandchildren is that that whatever you do get involved and get involved completely you know and and and because then you you'll develop whatever you're doing a geshmach a pleasure and delight and it's coming from your innermost and then once once you develop that you don't have to worry that that's what you do because that's what you enjoy doing and that's what he's saying over here that is not just accepting hashem hashem you know you're you're the king you're the melee you're the creator and you give me life or you give me parnosa and you made it gave me a good family and and you protect me and all of that's true but that's not you don't need the register for that every day as a believer that's a jew a jew is a believer and a from year the person who learns a little data knows that so what's the hidden share your pleasure your um you know your party time is with god you know that and that and that's and that's that's an issue and that's something that needs two days because you know you know we rather you know put on the tv or the internet or the game and or or you know would you and and to enter and to and to develop something that this becomes your geshemak and your pleasure that's an avoider and that's the void of regis that the melody should become so much part of us that that's who we are and if at any moment we don't feel that and we don't live with that it's like excuse the expression you don't have your pants on you understand you feel like you're naked you feel like oh i'm empty you understand it's it's that intensity of avoidance hashem that we seek is not just about doing it it's just a mistake because that's what so many people think about and and again for those people that don't know you know much and then listen it's about the doing and listening okay but for for for us who her analogy when we learn you have to ask yourself what's the difference and that ebb over here in a few brief words expresses it through the words want to comment since you brought up uh the uh example of football yeah uh something that i have a particular weakness for when i uh when i lived in baltimore and i go a couple of times a year to an nfl game and often it would be around this time of year this week's parsha versus kisabo and the parsha and the puzzle says uh all the all the things in the tokugawa will come because he didn't serve god with with joy and to lay off so the aries all says on that that you didn't show the same enthusiasm in your vote as hashem right as you show doing other things so one of the ways that i managed to sort of reconcile this is like uh those two uh dimensions of me uh inside me was you know the the sense of abandonment and the sense of uh of joy and dedication when i get into the game then so so that would be uh that's what i've aspired to at rochester so yeah fine that's you know whatever works but really yeah for one person's football and for the other person it's it's it's golf and the third person is just going to a library there are people who are bookworms and when they go into a library or they're going to a bookstore it's like they're not there they're they're in the different planets you know because they have you know so whatever whatever the schmuck is you know uh it reminds me we say every day in birches [Applause] in other words hashem gives us sweetness it's part of the the brother so the famous khabar kosov he he takes the passage like this lokayo for hashem a kale butter for the blessed god the emoys whatever is considered for you sweet no give away to god it's it's it's a beautiful type and it's short you know it's like so you could in other words and and and and that's really that's available it's it's it's a big avoider it's a big avoidance trust me this this avoider has nothing to do whether you learned to yeshiva when you were a boy or a teenager or not there's nothing to do it has to do with with with us as human beings you know are we ready to to give away our kayak our pleasure for the amish and that really makes the difference between yid and have them not a yid who doesn't have an uh a non-jew is not charged with such an avoider and um it's uh you know so you know as much as we earlier this year you remember that silly that silly um tick tock or something from the beer the the rush beer remember that guy he did the commercial where he had a beer and and and he said ah and i'm gonna drink i'm going to learn a schmacka pizza tomorrow with this beer and it was it went viral and and on one hand you could laugh like come on come on you're drinking beer while you're learning tomorrow but the same time look at the positive that that look at the schmuck that he finds geshmach in learning a piece of gomorrah you know okay the issue that you're drinking beer at the same time a hussett wouldn't do that uh i mean they do it but i'm saying the real question that wouldn't be the saga the mindset of a husset but but i don't want to go that's not the point let's look at the positive that a person has such geshmach from learning a piece of gemara or like the brisker would say and i've told you this also yeah practices cold cells are right thank you well like the brisker would say when the salvation you know when they would go when they said now they roll up their sleeves now i'm going to take apart a rambam it's like come on but look at the flip side so it wouldn't say that now i'm going to take a part of rambam now i'm going to take apart a piece of the shiva sholan it's it's it's like grub you know if you respect it i see the sholem you don't take him apart you you submerge yourself into the sivasho but that's for another time the the the point is you know one of me i'm going to take a pirate on bum my life is rambam like salah rebel salvation would say you know um when i sat with my father and or my grandfather and we said we sat and learned who was there abaya our lover and the raspberry and the riff and they were all the table you know there's a level of learning and that that these things become really real so in in the language of siddhis it's to make the avoidance hashem become who you are to have the same schmack you know when you die when you die especially them you know you keep her it's the quality not the quantity the quality of a dominic and guess what it could be that 99 of our davening will be just robotic but if there's five minutes or three minutes or a minute that we sense a sense of higher than ourselves and and and we allow hashem in and he becomes for that minute or two or three or four our pleasure and delight you've scored a point you've done very well you know it's it's an avoider okay what time is it i just want to ask you about one word that he said several times does that mean like rain is [Music] hashem next week have a great shabbos it's shabbos travis don't you got to shake yourself into slickers they would bring before so um shake you shake your way into sleekness yes my once i forgot someone said to me i don't remember who was this past week was asking me about that that we know with this minute i don't know it's a minute but it's not a it's it's not a mimic it's not a minute you know but it's done you know we would have not known about it but that you know years ago mentioned that i guess in russia it was that way you know that you know i've seen him before before slickers it's the opening the the prayer for the young they prepared himself for the good fabregan and they said look i am amelia they were shaking and dancing so um to say it's a meaning if you don't do it you violated me no but it's become the point is it has become uh popular in the sense that um many chabad shoes uh will will cover will congregate before and do it in crown heights you can go you can walk in the streets an hour before slickest and you'll hear fabregains from houses here and there and um and then if you take a look at some of the videos you'll see people really dancing before slickers i mean intense you know and you could sometimes you notice that they took a little higher and then afterwards but uh you know it's it's better if if if you could you're going in with again you're preparing yourself you're preparing yourself but to say that it's a mimic it's not a it's not a minute they haven't never said it as a minute you must do that okay have it have a great shabbos and we'll talk to you next week bye bye chavez
