All right, let's start covering. Elimure. over La bro B. La. la I Da da da da da. I lie. A da da da da. Okay, let's sing another nigga. You sound like girls in a seminary that don't want to sing in front of me. >> I have three of those for >> yala. But no, come on. Let's go. Bas. I'm sh I D may sha I love sh I d I Heat. Heat. N. M I m you're in Sh. I may I sh May I shen everybody good morning and the sponsors of breakfast shar today is sponsored um by the rhinets mas and my uncle anonymously for uh today is sponsored by the the Aram family for their fu for Moshe Usher Ben Mala and Sip Sipka Mala Risel Basay every every sponsorship BT it's not just like it's a big coveret for the rafua the lu shama but it really helps things keep on rolling things doesn't just happen like we we always encourage and are thankful for every single sponsorship today we have a shir on shabisha how it got its name what's the real what is the real reason why it's called shabishuva and hopefully we'll make the most of it this coming shabas Amen. this coming Shabas. It's a big shabas to to take advantage of. I feel like uh this has been one long festival since like I don't know since like klo it's been like one long festival >> it just started >> and weak you know someone said to me what time is a shana by you I'm like oh shana >> someone asked me to ask you >> like are you kidding me I said I'll let you know what time is today you know like all right let's let's learn inside today we're going to see through the first of where this name really comes from and interpret the and hopefully get some real nice beautiful holy words from from some of the sadikim. So we have already the first source tells us you guys would be so much more happier if we held like this. I would say two drases a year. Zel shaboo shabuva. That's how it used to be. You know, midim like professional professional I guess I call them whippers because these guys would go around and zets the living daylights out of you like professional midim would go around and give smoo on chabas. But really the would give two drases a year. Shabas shabuva. And the says for what reason do they give Joshes then like it was basically to teach them how to how to really is not saying it here but how to apply the for the days coming ahead. So there's tons of fork. So Shabasha was a day of ko just explaining to people what the mahalak is and of course pes shab is basically reminding the of how you're supposed to act during during the of because you know usually we have the you learn the of a certain 30 days before. Sukus gets the hardest one. Who's learning suka right now? Right. The Judas in some of the yeshivas, you know what they would do right after. It's so beautiful. They go right to the base mish and they open up learning. So it used to be in many of the yeshivas they open up right after right after uh uh you know the fast. So the mavram is telling us over here that the reason that we have an inan of learning of of dioning on these shabat is not because shabu shabu it's what it is is basically telling us how to act that's what it seems like the matosha explains it a little bit he expands on this a little bit and he says regarding shabisha specifically He says he he holds that there's another shabas that there's a drash and that's the shabas before and the forash and he's saying it's not about he's saying it's so his thing is not so much saying you know it's like the he's bringing it to what's become more or less the makuba that words that come out from the dras and shabisha hopefully arouse the hearts of those that come to hear it. I have a a very special I'm I'm very excited about this and I'm very thankful to Hashem that um I I I may I may look exhausted but I'm very very like awake inside because there's there's been a lot of chef of Hashem sending the right to to learn and to teach and the shabas shabasa this year is pelle it's not I'm not saying about anything I did but was sent down to look at is just I feel I do my heart out. I'm ding so strong. It's what the is saying and he says, "I found a proof." Yeah. Like a source hint for like proof. Yeah. Like when that when when the is happening there's a kapora taking place in it's very interesting he's saying there's mish kapor comes down when there's real when there's strong tora being said what's the reason so that you help the process of what and then culminate It's brings down which is this became a min and established min and we know we have the famous saying that it became tora it's like having it's like Torah >> but then why do you have >> no no here he's just saying the reason about shabisha he's not even he's not even >> like it brings down kap >> no no no the kapara that of this man of we have to see why he says the mat why he says the reason for the shabas he'd probably then go to what the m of says he would say no it's then it's the truth is though how many shab forget here how many shabas are purely these days there are a few places I've been I've been to over this >> shabas too >> what's that >> so maybe he'd say that you know Yeah. So, but over here the mat is basically saying the the Indian of of the of the shab of shabisha is not like the like he's saying over here it's really there's this kapora taking place when this happens it's an awesome that's an awesome imagery that's an awesome awesome mitzia awesome mitsas now then I saw this source really was it was this is very interesting the mares the mares pan was says like this. That's all it is. Theft is called Shabua. We have a few other Shabases like that that are called after the like Shabas and Shabasmo. We don't have this by Shabodo. What's the first word of the >> first word? No word. >> No, but I'm saying that what's the first word is what is it? >> I don't know. Whatever. it would say I mean he does but that's the end of the but shabas a in the it has many other reasons why it's called that here he's saying there's three shabases in the year that when the names are shabuva shabasm and shabish kazan shab is not I mean there is a sh but that's you understand it's it's it's very much different. So he says over here >> can so it would have been called you know look inside everybody everyone has a lot to say today just hold on because we have a lot to learn that's why the saying these days like is really between the of ander I'll call every day to really take deep do deep accounting especially what we were speaking about which is more this week like how much how much did I take advantage of all the moments hashem all the gates Hashem opened for me that's what we were learning yesterday in the women she by based on rstein trouva over all the all the things that it's not a it's just lost opportunities that I didn't take advantage of. And I and I and I say to myself say to me like this year is going to be much more used. It's going to be much more taken advantage of in a in a very good way. Omnam. Now look what he says. This is what I wanted to get to and this is so true. Because we're living in a very strange reality which is very foreign to what we're really supposed to be which is not everyone's busy with with with trying to make a dime during the week. There's really a line in there that the truth is what the what the Maria send that every single person should be busy really introspection deep moments these who I mean whatever here it's a relative question who didn't go to work this week but I could ask that any day of the year over here but over here I'm saying like like who from those that actually have jobs who who didn't go to work this week. No, everyone went back to work. Everyone's back in the grind from Tomalia, right? From I shouldn't have been busy doing anything other than deep introspection the whole week. >> We grab a few minutes here like says, we grab whatever we can. And so big on this this word, grab. You grab. You have a minute here. Grab it. Grab it. So we we grab we maybe we grabbed more minutes this week but honestly like was it a no because that's not the world we're living in and he understands this and he's saying this 150 years ago probably more more than 150 years ago al bottom of the the third paragraph in the middle alignabis It's only one reason because you have the time because your mind is not engrossed. It's not deeply right now. Hopefully, you know, thinking about the next his reasoning over here. of the Maria is a little bit different than the Mav. It's more like the Moshe, but he's explaining it to say really it's almost like a what he's saying over here like the Mits of Shabu is avid. Why? Because we live in a world that of it's not the way it's supposed to be. What really is it supposed to be? You ever meet Do you understand what I'm saying? Where it really is like, you know, it's it's really not just it's not just the weekday that happens to be, you know, a volcano, but it's really the days are filled with very very, you know, beautiful, beautiful time. Taking the time. So the point here is not to feel bad. The point is to say, well, you know what? There's two more days of today and Sunday. Take the time, boys. It's it's saying it to myself. Take the time. These days don't come back during the year. as as my precious brother and teacher in Los Angeles, David Saxs always says, I say I try to say it every year that he calls it the days the days of wet cement. Days of wet cement. >> The cement is wet. You know, I saw it by far. Do you have by you also on the sidewalk? He did it where the you know when you have like when you have a a new pavement on the sidewalk and it's and then you you inscribe you know in America we used to do this a lot right the days of wet cement it's it's a beautiful imagery like chuva's days of wet cement so we we still have a little bit of time to our name oh yeah here you know pin drop like I was here and this is who I am and this is and you and what you're going to basically write in the cement it will be the for the rest of the here. So, we still have today today it's Friday should be a real I don't want to say serious Friday but I'm saying like a you know what I mean >> intentional >> padic Friday yeah more intentional more you know and then Sunday obviously everyone's so excited about one thing on Sunday that are the shorter that shortest that it is than than any other >> some of us are over >> for For some it's already over. But you hold by too. Okay. I'm just saying. And by I'm just checking. >> Right. >> Me too. >> Huh? No. So according to the Maresa again to sum this up, he's saying over here Shabishula came about because there was a need to wake to to remind people what it's all about and therefore when is the time that can it could happen during besides comes in in a frenzy it's too late already. So when's the time that there could be an opportunity to take advantage of this man that we're in this man of chuva shabas? That's what it was. And he even ends here. >> I think the last line I know. But >> but I wish that I knew how to say Israel like these arits from 200 years ago. You know, they had they just didn't have the broader picture of things. And we're sitting here today saying, "Wow, the imamish knew nothing." We know. >> If we knew then, you know, hopefully we're we're getting to know. >> Used to be that there were like one or two of our we were dev with now it's like 98% of the right. It's all of us, >> right? And then there was like two guys in the back like I'm sorry, thank you. You know, >> it's like an almost Now is going to explain to us like why is it that the chuva chuva the certain type of chuva can only be done on shabuva for a certain reason this is one of Ellie you teach you've done in the podcast not Yeah, somebody's farm. All you you want to really know what Shabashu is all about? Say the like listen to the say every word over there. Like the whole we did from the Rebi was from the righte you just sit with because what happens says always we're in the second line the MS is shabas comes from the word shabas itself is a chuva moment right shab Shabas itself just any shabas every shabas nothing no difference between every every single shabas is as man as why li okay so this is already you know much deeper what does this mean that is the restoration the worlds all the olamos that we refer to all the time go back to to its source and it's you would say it every Friday night. So, anyone know what that means? >> Absolutely not. >> Is exactly what is saying over here. the worlds, all the amos that we speak of all the time, not just all the all the all the different types of functioning of of human of of of they go back and they're restored in its shabas. Obviously, this is a much deeper concept than what I'm saying over here. And when you go back into it into your root and when the worlds go back It's almost like when you're in the boxing ring and then you go back to your corner. That's mish what it's like when you're in the boxing ring. You know the weekday is like a boxing ring, right? That's why you got to show up to sh on time. You know what? for one reason for the takana of the balent we the only shul probably in this whole area does have a minion on Friday nights >> no >> he does no >> usually not usually if he did he would also say this right I think they say it in too right you know swims right what happens over there that's the of that we say the hillim of right before why because what is in thatimos it's the it's the it describes the four different people that have to give thanks and say hag for things they went through why because the bashento is basically revealing to us if you were able to make it through a whole six days of of in this world without the kadusha of shabas and your back. You should start shabas off by benching hag basically >> and that's why we start by benching. It's also why you don't say it on shabas because is not like regular. So therefore we don't say it on shabas because it's not a go over there. But that's is basically saying this is what happens on chabas. So that's true every shabas like I'm I'm in the ring every week >> and I go back to my corner and I got my trainer there spritzing things into my mouth and plucking you open my eyes and whatever it is that's true every shabas but then he ends off okay but really this shabas all of that is happening even more >> championship >> even more sorry >> championship route yeah yeah for us we need to basically either have the imagery of Mickey. Anyone get that one? >> Okay. Or what was Apollo's uh Mickey that then became Rocky's Mickey? Remember? And Rocky 4 was ready. It was the other guy was the black guy that the bald one used to be Apollo's guy. No, >> I can't remember his name. >> Yeah. Yeah. He was a Gav shiny head is Anyway, sorry. So anyway, I'm tired. You go to the next page. Now this is going to explain to us. You know what? Yeah. Yeah. Let's do this. Let's go through this. This says like this for us for this is going to teach us like this. when the when the is telling us when is telling us some of us read that and we're like yeah you should listen you should read this you know really you should read this he's saying but then but basically that the what makes you that never left you it's still in you. When does a person recognize this the most and you know when I you know when I you know you good? >> Great. >> Okay. Only when I really really really feel that do I believe this. What would happen to my selfidentity? In I'm saying in a serious way. If I believed this kazal that a person only sins if a spirit of folly entered into him. >> Beat ourselves up a lot less. >> Wouldn't beat ourselves up a lot more. >> Opposite >> opposite. >> Opposite. >> No. Why would we beat ourselves up more? >> I'd be like that's a ruous on me all the time. I got to work on that. >> But it's external to you. That's my >> No, I don't think it's fully external. You let it in. >> No. >> No. No. No. The truth is I I hear what you're saying. Yeah. Because the other way would be I believe this is what causes me to sin and it's not I don't have any control over it. >> Right. And you have to have some accountability to where did you let Right. It's not you but my responsibility was did I or not? >> 100%. No, I'm actually I'm with you. I met I'm with you. >> It's still external. However, how be however it's still external. But the problem is what we just said right now takes a lot of sadas and that we don't have during the week. We have that on shabas. So is saying to us sorry this is saying that the clarity that comes on shabas is that it's true. It's from the outside. It's not me, but at least you know what the beginning of my healing really is. Like the ability to start taking responsibility for my life for real is acknowledging that it's not really me. And if it's not really me, let me close all the let me close all the openings from where I see it. That that's chuva. That's serious chuva. with alcohol >> only with y with wine all types >> not with the other one. Yeah, >> that's something that's inside you that that's inside you that come you're still respond you're not saying it from inside that comes out here with something from outside that comes in. >> So so but but realizing it this is from the outside it's not me. However, how did I let this become me? How did I let this enter inside? So the person that says no no no it's not it's not your it's you live in a crazy world. No no no no no there's no like that there's no responsibility. So where in my life the shabis shuva gives me the ability to say to see this and to take and make some real strong and say this gate is closed now. Right. The ru is called ash means a stumbling block. is to make a decision. What will be your sustenance this year? What will be your vitality? You could be fully alive this year in the completely wrong way. Either you are but the kak is coming from the rues or or you could be kazak with those things meaning you could build a whole persona and a career coming from an external thing that has nothing to do with who you really are or you could say mish this year what's going to make me feel alive this year is is my godly vital my real vitality It could be that's the difference with one is and one is the opposite not totally and it's exactly the difference like you could like you could do whatever you could do and you will come closer to Hashem if you're going to go in the that's the you'll be like >> so it's like a like a because it doesn't end meaning this right once you connect to that therefore this says if this is what happens on any chabas Sorry, this happens but specifically that's why it's an we have all these things we would like to work on ourselves. She says, "Shabas makes it easier for you to actually jump in to all those things you would love to be, to all the dreams you have for yourself, for what this year is going to be. Since all the worlds are returning up, everything's in a state of returning back to what really makes it tick." Then means it's easier. Bria because it's happening in the whole world is going and restoring itself into its corner receiving vitality and life and again this is like what we saw before you know how many times I I people have told me it's like you know I'm I didn't go to sh once whole week. I put on fill in once and like a 5:00 p.m. and I'm going through imposttor syndrome. I say, "Why?" He says, "Because I walked into shu Friday night >> and I just I don't know. I I feel like I'm in. >> Great. >> And I don't know what to do." >> That's amazing. >> Well, it's not amazing. You should go to shul and you should put fill on everything. >> If they actually felt like they were in after having a week like >> I know, but you know what? I want us to stop falling in love so much with the examples of Hefker. Hearer Hefker. That doesn't last. >> It doesn't last. >> It doesn't last. Started this morning at 7:55 when it should have started at 7:40. By 8:45 there's 60 people. We have to We're either doing it or we're not. You understand? like BMT it's like um we have to we have to get our game on and we can't bank on the fact that a guy the example that we said right now you can't bank on that it obviously it doesn't last it doesn't last our inan here has to be to take advantage on shabas to realize the imagery of who we really want to become we don't want to be the banker we don't want to be people that bank like that now if It ends up happening like that. That's and it's a gift. But we're still in a state of right now. It's the beginning of the year. We're in Don't throw onto We're still in We have to do this. The to do this is Shabisha. The is on Shabishua. Again, the end of this is because that thing that makes you tick, that place that's concealed, that's shamur, the alterb would probably call it aava messeras, >> that embedded concealed love that exists within each and every one of us is misgab and each of us have it. And reminds us. So this is what happens on shabishuva and that meaning the awareness of this is accessible on shabishuva and and it was it it would be so good if we really remembered we're still in the is the beginning of the year. It's still the beginning. Let's not try to bank on trying to pull ourselves out last second because trust me it'll happen anyway at a certain point during the year, right? It'll happen anyway, but don't already like pregame it, you know. Don't pregame it. It'll happen anyway because that's and so there's no way out of it unless you bamish become like I don't know, you just completely removed from this world and you stay in that place. But we're in this world to lift up this world. Now the next two pieces we're not we're not going to do right now but I just want to give you basically what RV cook is saying over here and that RV cook is saying that is that when we embark on a path of chuva and nakman speaks about this in the kimaran as well that the first thing that you'll how do you know if you're on a path of chuva you have >> if you have opposition if it doesn't come easy that's how you know you're actually in a path of chuva but of cook is saying to us in the in the second piece also you know at a certain point though with that recognition of yeah I realized these are mania it's only they only became a mania once I decided what the destination was like how did something become a stumbling block only when I decided where I'm trying to get to I'm trying to get to a good place ah it's going to start to be harder so therefore we have to really internalize this that there's one time of the week that the minia has no on me that the stumbling block does not hold me. And that's on Shabas. >> That's on Shabas. >> Every shab >> every shabas, you know, like like to the ultimate on the shabas. That's because you're sandwiched in between. I like it when shabas doesn't come out because there's no shabisha, right? Like I love it like it does. There's not really well but well you have a shabisha that's dv to rashashana so you don't really feel like the air the the air that shabisha brings right >> sorry >> and you also get to say >> oniper let's just stick to what I'm trying to say right now so what I'm trying to say is that shabisha is this amazing amazing experience of being able to really hold on to who I want to days of wet cement. Take your I don't know what you use to people what what do people use their finger >> stick >> a stick >> sticks >> sticks this is these are the days of this the the cement's wet and on an ashama level even though this would be really to say the most opportune time to to write >> is shuva imagine Brazil is going to clip that right now and that's going to be the beginning of the downfall of everything Metaphorically speaking, listen had a great voice. He says why is it so g when yum kipper comes out on shab now we'll say like you know when kipper does come out on chabas a great vo he says what's what's so we know that you can only write something down on shabas if it's >> right so that means that like only the only only inscribing right can only be for for for life emergency >> we could say that about the first day it was din. >> So the next day that he could write so it's like we're clean. >> Yeah. Mama. Anyway, >> it should be it's you know it's a good you know it's a good idea this shabus wrap yourself around like one paragraph of Ravk take take Rev Weinberger's perish and like if you don't have it the sh has it I could lend it to you. just take one paragraph of ravk and and sit with it if you and if you want anyone bet if you want to if it's like that's just a world that's foreign to you for whatever reason or because the Hebrew really truthfully is so intimidating even for Israelis text me today and I I'll send you a certain paragraph I think could be shy just to wrap yourselves around one one of those praim one of those one of those paragraphs not a paric a paragraph of pure light because Rav Cook when you learn him he's saying to you I'm going to I'm going to make you see in you what I see in you and all I see in you is what the was talking about that's a that's a we should be benched with but first everyone
