Nitzavim - Vayelech - R'vi'i - #4 - R Aryeh Siegel - Choose Life & Finding Growth in the Struggle

It's over by Yirah Chaveira. It's over here. It says Hashem says, "Look, I'm putting in front of you choice, the good and the bad, life and death." So, who would choose who would choose death? I know you see become a young as a schmo as always. I'm making test testify against you the schmo always. I am always with you all the time. You should choose life. First of all, it's a mitzvah. You talk about schmo and I know I'm with you all the time. It's a mitzvah to want to live. They say I think the I think you should have I think you lost 10 11 children. I'm going to learn and some of them were were were massive. So, sometimes I'm going to suffer and so much. They throw in the towel. They don't they lose their time to to go on and to suffer. They say you went into one of them one he went into one of them he whispered in their ear. It was a big time he said to him. I think the time over there is is is that you should You should want to live. That's a mitzvah. It's a mitzvah to want to live, to love life. You should choose life. The he explains to You should say what you should you should choose life. It means you already chose life. So, he explains that already by the creation of the world after the creation of the world, they wanted the world to be created and he showed them everything that's going to happen and what's going to be what their job is going to be and he showed them everything. And they already chose yeah and then again by he said you want to tell you they said yes. So, ultimately we already made the choices that's going to that guarantees the future. They're all going to end up by hook or by crook and and I don't know how so why make it difficult? You can do this the easy way. So, I don't know. So, what I'm going to say if I forgot where from now. It says I don't know why is he throwing the children over here. Choose life for you and your children. You can't have your children have children have children. So, he says that the I'm talking the the talks about people that they did in the last second. They lived their whole life as you know bad and then the last second there was to do something amazing that got them into straight. So, the so a person could say that it's worth of him to hopefully he'll he'll be one of those people. He'll live life the way he wants and he'll do it at the at the end he'll do too well. So, the answer is the difference obviously is that a person who lived his whole life like a good Jew, so he was mechanic his children that way. The person lived his whole life like a and the last second even if he was a Jew at the last second second but he raised his children as So, he's saying do choose the life that will be that will be a life for you and your children that we want your children to follow in your in your in your footsteps. Then this is going to cross over into the double portion of the week of Vayeilech. Moshe Rabbeinu tells the Yidden I can't come and go anymore. So, what was from at the end of Vayeilech Bracha it says Moshe Rabbeinu ain't no he didn't get he wasn't weak. It says that to go up to Har Nevo to the place where he passed away was 12 steps. He jumped them all up in one shot. He wasn't What does it mean I can't come and go? He wasn't an old man in a wheelchair. So, it's from they want to say maybe Zaddik and others that >> [clears throat] >> he reached a level where he he didn't have a year anymore. So, he he could he said I can't fall. I'm at a point where I can't fall anymore. And the main if you can't fall you can't have an aliya either. A person's alive the EKG is up and down up and down. That means that's a sign that you're alive because you can go up you can go down. Because you go down you go up. You can't go up you can't go down. If you can't go down you can't go up. So, we look at the heart like oh if only we could do without it. But really that's as my luck and they can't go up. They can't go down either. They'll be a it's very nice. But I shouldn't create a world he wants that could be because you could rebel and you don't. That's what's special to Hashem. And that takes us to Hamishah.
