S.S.S.S. Parshas Ki Seitzei

we're just having a discussion here before this year started and uh we were saying how amazing it is how time moves from last year that we're now we're under 3 weeks from rashash uh 3 weeks from tonight we'll already be in middle of rashash M amazing and uh we were also mentioning how quickly the past 10 years have gone by everybody saying how always at this time of the year when it comes before 9/11 everybody starts to think of where they were and what they were doing and also now we we try to think what we could learn from it the lessons we learn from it anything else but um it's amazing to think that 10 years went by it was also uh this time of the year thek says this week's para somebody builds a new a person builds a new house the BK says You must build a m a fence a barrier on the roof in other words that nothing should happen to anybody that's that that's in the house so we can ask let's ask two questions right over here and then from here we're going to continue in to some lessons for for firstly why does it seem that the p is only saying this Mitzvah of M by a what if somebody goes and buys an old house okay I know in lakeood it's not too common to find an old house to buy right what if somebody goes and buys an old house you buy an old house of course you have the same Mitzvah if there's a danger on your roof you have the same why does the Torah specify build a new house one question also why why does it say we know that the same would apply by anywhere else if if there's a bar if there's a pit if there's a cliff if something else any dangerous place you have a Mitzvah and to put a barrier there that nobody should get hurt so those two questions we ask right away on this on the MIT sh wants to explain this as he does many times and he wants to apply the lessons we learn in this and the says everybody with this on should leave his path leave totally leave the path that you're leading in other words it's really not enough to do halfway Chua if a person sees that he needs to do chuva Chua at a lack of better word Chua many times cha is not it's not a salad bar very Appo we have over here super you can't start picking this PR or that PR if a person knows that he's doing something wrong you have to totally leave the D that you're doing if you see you're on the wrong road you can't just take a whole detour and then you might end up back on the road you have to totally leave the D you have to totally change now let's look at this pu and explain it with what the wants to say if a person is finally being honest with himself and he realizes he coming he coming close to you realize that it's time to build a new house that the things that you were doing this past year and the things you doing till now are not working out so well what do you do what you have to start you have to start you have to build for yourself you can't risk that you're going to end up in the same place that you are right now when it comes time and you say no I have to change my ways you have to build yourself in your life you have to build that will not allow you to end up where you were before it's interesting to note that actually what are these boundaries a person has to have fear a person has to be afraid and afraid of and afraid that you might end up before and he brings down that actually it's interesting that the word and the word equal each other gatria you have to know how to make a gatria one of them is one more than the other but we add the word that and Mak are gatria 26 they equal the same amount and that is really the only way to do chuba a person has to set is referring to your head the roof the head of a person what what is the head of a person the head of a person has most of his senses the sense of sight smelling hearing all the things that a person would want to work on a person should work on that is the you have to start with your senses start with what you're listening to start am I listening to start with what you're seeing am I looking at the right things am I doing the right things with my senses that's the that's a place to start Build Together around that up to see a little further that can also be referring to when we say we're referring to rash that right now right now what does that mean we said it that's referring to R rash the is what's the whole of rash sometimes people don't understand the of rash is that we should be but how how you if you don't even think of following in his way so now but a few weeks before rash now is the time now is the time to work on these things to work onid to work to do all these things before rash comes around so now we have a good question okay how does a person get started how do you go about all these things we want to do so much we want to work on all our senses we want to work on our Midas we want to be finished to a certain extent before so we could come into being and will actually be interested that we should be where do we get started in not in this week's par they are separate and He suggests that a good place to get started is with shabas and that's coming up tomorrow night we're coming up to shabas a good place for a person to get started is shabas and shabas we say that wants to pursue shabas is that day shabas is a very very good time and the time to start and there are really two ways to go about this firstly we can say that we could actually improve when we say that we that we start with shabas we can look at it in two different ways the first way of looking it is to actually improve how you treat shabas what do we do on chabas do we treat chabas with the proper kadha how do we talk on chabas how do we act on chabas the way we act on shabas is not the way we act during the week or actually it should be that way we should not act on that's way we act during the week and and sticks in over here something very interesting he says and it can't be that we're discussing during the week I talk and shab not because no is actually also user during the week so we can't be talking about that what are we talking about we're talking about that your and your things that you do during the week anyway not that you do during the week they can't be the same on chabas you in on shabas has to be different your learning on chabas has to be different and that is we start if you want to start changing yourself you want to start doing chuva the time to do that is on chabas that's one way of looking at it another way of looking at it is that shabas not to change the actual shabas but we can look at it for the the theme that we were talking about before that if a person wants to do chuva for anything shabas is the right time to to start the Russi Tavis of shabas are shabas boy that on shabas on that day that's when you start doing CH and brought down from that the says in the CHS when a person want to is also the I of shabas doing CH during the week does one thing doing CH during the week takes care of it takes care of the of a person but to get into the and the ne a person for that you need chabas during the week you can start you can do chuba and everything but all that chuba you do during the week in the says takes care of the of the person but if you really want to get into the neish of a person you want to get into the of a person for that you need chabas and that too is another explanation of it's the beginning of doing Chu because on shabas you can do Chu for your and for your you can do CH on the whole thing and that's something to think about when we come close to to Shas The R says we know we blow the r says why do we blow during it's a of awake from your Slumber Sher is telling us wake up from your sleep get up it's time it's time to wake up from your slumber we know that there are people and many of us know and some of us are that way that you sleep through any alarm clock and uh you know someone can tell you 100 times wake up you set this alarm that alarm today they have alarms that pour water on your head also people sleep through it right so what is a lot of people do not hear the Scher is an alarm the Sher is the same as an alarm clock and you have people that still they don't hear the they don't hear that it's banging on the door is coming we're blowing to and they don't hear they don't hear that says what is the for that the for that is like we said the is sh because onas we know we've said a few times shabas even if a person is one of the worst just for treating chabas right for using a shabas for using a shabas for a different type of doming and and and and the truth of the matter is is we could uh when we talk about shabas we talk about our whole approach to shabas how's your Friday how do you come to shabas what do you do before chabas do you Screech up into sh 30 seconds before and your stomach is tight and kns that maybe you make it in there that's not the way to approach a shabas shabas is a mindset if you wanted to work for your NE it has to be a mindset it has to be and and you should try it it's a very very interesting experiment that if you start to change your Friday you you start to change the way you approach shabas you make yourself a time but a few hours before shabas that's it you get yourself into the shower Miah whatever you do and and you're wait you're waiting before shabas you know shabas doesn't have to wait for you when you squee into the parking lot 30 seconds before shabas is waiting when are you going to get there you squee into the parking lot okay thank God he wasn't M he made it here but no the way it should be is that you should be sitting there being m you should be sitting there maybe help around the house a little bit you help with the kids I don't want to get into trouble over here but if if you're waiting for shabas and you're ready for shabas looks at you and says look at that he's waiting for my shabas and then you have the to to work you want to work on Chua but it has to be an em of shabas and now we're coming to the last the last shabas of the Year we're coming to the last we have only a couple more shabas left for this year let us use the shabas let us use it for let us understand that we have to build these gor but once we build these gor we have to get started and the best time to get started is with chabas let's hope that we could have to use out the time we should all be
