it's here the beginning of the new year
the famous vert the famous saying
the way one behaves
are Shabbos that's the way the rest of
the year will be
ladies and gentlemen this is the Shabbos
to make most meaningful not to waste our
time to learn to Daven to be with family
to make up for bringing
and most importantly to the side that
we're going to do more this year to
bring mashiach
but I also want to tell you about my
simpler State experiences here in
Borough Park
because it has to do with history of the
Jewish people
we were talking the entire month of
tishray
in our eclipse in our weekly clips all
about
Unity togetherness love for another Jew
and things like that and
it happened
in the four hour fabrina that we had
on simplest data and actually habrina
started very early 10 in the morning
because I make a minion 7 30 in the
morning and by 10 we're finished
so the rest of the day we could bring
and welcome people's questions and
comments and discussions
also during uh hakophus people came over
to me to talk about different things
they've read or they saw or they want to
ask or they want to disagree or argue
it was very pleasant I must tell you
Jewish history is such that
it really gives us an ability to go
beyond our confines to go beyond our box
and actually that was the theme of the
fabregan
not to be in the language of Chabad
mitsuya
from the word sealer which literally
means an image but it refers to don't be
boxed in
don't say oh my God my orientation what
I do is only
hello
business
that whole thing
is from God's perspective as explained
and hasidus
limiting and my spirit of your Khan
blessed memory spent a lot of time
engraving that in our psyche
if I bring about it he spoke about it he
taught about it
and and it left
an indelible impression on my friends
and myself and anyone who of the
thousands of tell medium of students who
studied with him
I am sure feel the same way the boy was
completely not
in a box so someone comes over to me
yamative and says
I feel limited I feel boxed in
how can I leave my box
I said you came at the right time
sinclusita sharp aspirations is the time
to break out
naturally
this is sometimes very difficult or
maybe always as difficult to really be
honest and break out
and in our society with all the meshigas
and the chaos that Hashem puts into the
world and we make the choice to either
reject it or accept it or embrace it
it's even more of an athlete and more of
an activity and a service and it shows
who we really are what are we really
made of
the short answer to the question is
have to come to a place within yourself
where you know that you're nothing and
Hashem is everything
and so you could ask me how do I come to
that feeling
oh
so the answer is what a famous vart
if you
have money
and you aren't spoiled yet you need more
money
if you drank and you're not sicker
intoxicated yet you need more look
higher and if you learn how to see this
and you aren't a hasid you aren't
you didn't become inside better and
different and leave your limitations
your box
you haven't learned enough and you need
to learn more
when you study this
whether you're a hussied a lit fact a
Spanish unit a modern Orthodox Jew what
they call Modern Orthodox Jews even
though there's no such thing as that
ever told me all Jews are Jews the
labels are just where you Daven or
identify with but a Jew is a Jew
regardless
when you learn to see this
you become a different person it's a
matter of time there's not even it's but
as you say as we say in Hebrew
guaranteed
so that was my response and discussion
with that fellow someone else came to me
and wanted to know about actually it was
a young 20 20 plus year old young man
who learned the literacy yeshivas and um
comes from Chabad background of sorts
and has a strong leaning towards Chabad
wanted he wanted to know about
the references
in various Chabad books
I'm sorry not the references the
statements he wants to check the
references
to see if they're correct if they're
authentic
and I found that to be very refreshing a
young man who is a Yeshiva bucker
what does he want to do he wants to look
at the references to
not to challenge
but rather to verify truly
that was another very important thing
that I experienced
uh the Sim Costa
and yet another individual came walked
here from Flatbush with his friends
because they knew that in our school
a simple study that would be Lively and
and beautiful
and he came over to to the um to where I
was sitting in the back if I bring him
with guys
and he says give me a broker please I'm
I'm 25 I need a sugar
and in my state of partial intoxication
it really touched me because he first he
looked much older but he told me he
isn't
and for him to say this with other
people around
was very very heartwarming and
I told them I'm not a rabbit I'm not a
Sadiq you know but
every year can I should give a brother
so I wish them ask them for his name and
gave him a brother
what I'm getting at with all these
things is not you know that
but I had this great time and it was
like someone said oh you had a lot of
fun on superstrative no
what I'm getting at is that there are
days in our calendar that are
opportunistic for growth development and
connection and Shabbos Bodacious this
Shabbos is kind of the last time of the
Tish rate season because next week is
already
where you can connect with this energy
especially this year it's a hot kill
year and we know that ever teaches us
how everyone should do things to gather
Eden men with men and women with women
and children children's programs and to
teach data and to do give sadaka and to
learn to do some trila some saying of
tillem Etc
this is the last time this Shabbos and
of course there's never a last time
there's always talking about Fallen as
we know from the the past about the
lesson it's never too late but
nevertheless
in the way the Jewish calendars
organized and you know in a normal
situation
is the last time in effect monster
shoppings we give we banged on a table
and we say the Yakov in English the
slang Would Be Jack hit the road
foreign yaakov goes on his on his way he
goes out we've had tishray Mr Shania
all kinds of Revelations from the more
all or orientation and then to the moral
love and happy orientation and we took
it into our bags and we pack it in that
packed it in our luggage and now we have
to unpack it now boys I I wish each
other that we we do so with freilikite
happiness
and health to have a great New Year and
go with strength and do not at all
say oh I did I tried last year it didn't
go and so the same thing that's coming
from the Yates
from the Clipper from the no good side
it's not positive it's bad energy go
with positivity and if you need a good
friend to help you or Rabbi you're a
teacher or must be or a spouse they're
available
Hashem shall help us we should see
mashiach and Kano because of mamish
