in a few days
is a very powerful
day it's rosh chodesh
the first day of the month of elul
the first day of elul means a lot of
things
but one thing that it means
for sure
is that's 30 days away from rosh
hashanah the countdown
begins
rosh hashanah
is a very powerful and important day on
the jewish calendar
but not only for jews for
everybody
the biblical name of rosh hashanah is
yomadine judgment day
because that's the day that the entire
world is being judged
and it's actually the day that is
decided if the world will continue to
exist or not
on judgment day on rosh hashanah
the entire world
is being judged by the master of the
universe
and with our prayers we crown
god to be our god
which means that that day is important
to any human being not only to jews
and not only to observant jews
this day is detrimental to any living
creature in the world jews and non-jews
and every even the animals and nature
vegetation everything is being judged
that day that's why it's called judgment
day
so in the
great mercy of the master of the
universe he gave us an entire month
to get ready
if you would get now
a subpoena or a judgment to appear in
front of a judge
for whatever uh
charges that they decided to put on you
then you would get ready you would get
ready with a good defense defense
team lawyers with building your strategy
how you're gonna
approach this uh
situation
so the same thing here the master of the
universe is telling us i'm going to
judge you on the first day of the month
of tishrei
and i'm giving you 30 days
to prepare
30 days to prepare yourself for the day
that you're going to be judged for
everything that you did in the past year
when does the 30 days start in a few
days from now
this year it's going to be on shabbat
rush holdish elul one of the most
powerful days of the year
this year falls on shabbat
it's two days
shabbat and sunday
but the 40 days preceding
yom kippur
that are very special auspicious and
powerful 40 days they start on shabbat
on
so really this coming shabbat is where
it all starts
so i don't want to make this video long
i just want to
prepare you announce what is going to
happen in the next month and 40 days
and if you want to be included if you
want to join that's of course your
decision but
it's my obligation to give you a heads
up
of what's going on
so first of all in the last few years i
gave dozens of lectures about the month
of elul the head of the month of elul
what's going on in the 30 days
prior to judgement day what are the 40
days from the first day of elul all the
way to yom kippur
which really the first day of elul is
when moshe rabino went up to the
mountain the third and final time and he
came down from the mountain after 40
days on yom kippu and that became the
day of atonement
after moshe rabbin who prayed in the
heavens for 40 days
so really what's going on now is a
repetition of what was going on then
so we have now 40 days
to repent
now i know i said a second ago 30 days
30 days is from rosh chodesh
but rosh hashanah is judgment day
10 days later
that's the day of repentance
so really we have 30 days to prepare for
judgment day but really we have 40 days
to go through
this time where
hashem is very accessible
our chuva our repentance is easy easily
accepted
the gates of juva
of mercy and repentance are open this is
called
the month of mercy and forgiveness
so
what's going to happen in the next 40
days
is
we're going to need to really
concentrate on archuva on our repentance
and what i'm talking right now is for
everyone jews and non-jews non-jews also
have to repent for the sins that they do
and they also have to follow the torah
there's no difference here between a
june and andrew and judgment days for
the entire world
so everybody needs to prepare
now if you think that you're going to
come to judgement day and just buy
yourself a nice clean new outfit and
pray for a few hours and everything will
be fine then i'm sorry to tell you you
have a mistake
you cannot approach
judgment day without a preparation
you cannot reach to yom kippur without
doing the proper chuva chuva means to
repent
it cannot be done overnight
really chuva has to be done every day
but if you don't do chuva every day then
now in the month of elul and i explained
that many times
the master of the universe the king of
all kings is accessible to us he so to
say comes out towards us
to accept our prayers to accept our
accept our forgiveness
and to bless us of course eventually at
rosh hashanah with a great year
everything is decided on rosh hashanah
who's going to live who's going to die
who's going to be rich who's going to be
poor how much money you're going to make
who's going to get married how many kids
you're going to have everything is
decided on rosh hashanah
and not only that i explained that in
other classes that how much challenges
you're going to have in the next year is
decided on rosh hashanah
what are going to be the challenges for
the next coming year is decided on rosh
hashanah everything is decided
so really a smart individual says huh
this is a very important day
in the year let me prepare the right way
so
i'm not going to make a long class right
now it's not even considered a class i
just want to a uh
remind you all that
is coming in a few days
b
to give you some instructions what needs
to be done and three is to tell you what
i'm going to do and of course
everybody's welcome to join me
and i do believe that's the best way to
prepare to rosh hashanah
because we need to really focus on
archuva
so
first of all as usual we have a webpage
on my website where you can go i believe
it's at smooth.org forward slash elul
if not just look the link will put on
the video and under the video and
wherever you see it there'll be a link
to the page
and the reason why i'm throwing you to
the page because we
uh compiled on that page all the videos
that you need to see
all the videos that i explained about
elul and there's a lot of them on my
website there's
i don't even know in numbers there's
many many videos i highly recommend that
you watch all of them
that you get educated and everything
that you need to do for elul and i know
i know many people tell me oh i saw
already all your videos i saw them last
year i saw them two years ago
i guarantee to you with no offense and
no trying to hurt anybody you don't
remember half of what i said in these
videos
and i'll tell you a secret i don't even
remember half of what i said in these
videos and i watch my own videos
sometimes to refresh my memory oh i
forgot about that
because every year i read different
content different books sometimes i
forget of something that i taught 10
years ago
so i highly recommend that you take the
time and every day you watch one or two
videos it will educate you it will
inspire you it will give you the right
tools
really what to focus on on the month of
elul this is number one
check
so go to the webpage follow all the
videos
you'll you won't regret it and there's a
lot of them i know it might be
overwhelming in the beginning when you
see you can choose which ones you want
to see but all of them are important
the next thing
is i don't know if you remember many of
our followers are new some of the
followers uh are already participated in
that
but uh two years ago we did a chuva boot
camp tcb
uh no tbc we called it if you remember
so
we're going to do the tuba boot camp
again
uh
every day if i remember correct in the
boot camp we posted every day two three
videos
so we're just gonna rinse and repeat and
i know many people says oh i did the the
trouba bootcamp two years ago yeah but
so what if you did it you still need to
do chula i guarantee that you don't
remember half of the content that we
posted then
besides the fact you know chuva is like
washing your garments
so it's almost like saying if i some
people say oh i watched the the
boot camp two years ago yeah but
you still need to do it again you don't
take one shower in your entire life you
take a shower every day now why do you
take a shower every day because you get
dirty
and every day you get dirty you wash
yourself you wash yourself you wash your
clothes so it's the exact same thing
so even though if you saw that two years
ago so what so you see it again
so first of all i highly recommend that
you sign up again to the chuva boot camp
of course it's all free
on the web page that i told you on the
lulu you can find all the information
and
usually what we do is that we spread the
videos the short videos we put them uh
on
youtube but now you'll have to go and
look for them what i suggest is to
register to the whatsapp group where
we're gonna post every day all the
information through whatsapp
facebook twitter
email
uh
if i forgot anything just look on the
page and just participate so join the
best is the whatsapp telegram all these
applications because we're just going to
throw the videos on there every day what
needs to be read every day what needs to
be said
uh
i don't want to make this video long but
on the web pages all these all the
instructions that you need to know and
to make your life easy a lot of people
tell me i need i just need to know what
to do
every day tell me what to do so that's
what we do
every day you'll get an email you get a
whatsapp you get a a message today read
these tiling to ray today read this
today watch this video so i just to make
a long story short just follow the boot
camp
that we did two years ago follow all the
information that we're going to post but
of course to kind of refresh the
information
what are we going to do this year
and we're going to
include everybody many people already
have signed up because we did that in
the previous years
and in previous years it was kind of
private so not many many people knew
about it this year we're going to open
the opportunity to many others uh with a
limited amount of space but what we did
last year and the year before
is that we took the 40 days
from rosh all the way to yom kippur
and every day
we went to a holy site here in israel
and
said some special prayers
and whoever participated in this program
uh their we you know uh
their names were mentioned and the holy
sites and there were special prayers for
them
and it was very very successful
so
you can find the information on the
webpage
like i said last time last few years it
was a quietly because i didn't know how
many
names i can read in the graves i'm sure
you uh
hear our messages every couple weeks
there's a special day i go to maron i go
to the rizal i go to different graves
and we
include people to submit names so uh we
can pray on their behalf
what most people don't know that
sometimes it takes me ten hours that i'm
sitting there reading names
uh you know recently i was joshua
deshave i went to maron
uh before that was too bad of
the 15th day of i went to amuca and i
went to the rizal
you know but a lot of people send us
names which i'm happy of course to pray
for everybody but a lot of people don't
realize people think i go in and out you
know last time in the mooc i was there
eight hours eight hours of reading names
so
a lot i can do once a month
but every day in holy sites i can't read
5 000 names it takes hours so last few
years i limited it to a very small
amount this year we're going to open it
publicly a little bit more
that more people to can participate but
once we see a certain amount of names
come in then we close it because i i i
can't do everyday hours of of reading
the names so what i suggest is to find
the information on the web page
how you participate uh
in the in the 40 days prayers in the
kibritsa de kim and the holy sites
and uh and you'll find all the
information on on the webpage uh every
day we go to a different holy grave some
of the greys we
we repeat i mean there's thousands of
graves but some of the graves we repeat
of course we start with the main ones
we're going to try to do every day a
different game on shabbat what i do is i
have the names printed on a on a pay on
the paper and usually shabbat i go
locally i either go to nacho michigan
it's next to my house i go to bra benio
yada which is a 10 minute walk from my
house in birya sometimes i go down to
the degree i have enough graves to go on
shabbat
but if you want to participate go to the
webpage and find all the information
it's called the 40 days
prayers in kivwitz at the kim
and hopefully you can squeeze in a
position
uh before it closes i'm sorry i i can't
every day that i go i pray for everybody
but the ones who participate then we
recite special prayers the names are
being mentioned in the holy sites
and
it's very powerful
uh what else
uh i know i'm i i apologize to many
people other people tell me why don't
you you know a lot of rabbis they they
film everything that they do and why
don't you do that i don't like walking
around with a phone i know a lot of
rabbis that's what they do they walk in
the street like that and they give you
their daily inspiration that's not me i
i don't walk around with the phone but i
know many people telling me listen you
got to film these things so i'm
promising you i'm going to do my best
to film the at least the visits to the
holy sites and to some of the big slick
that we go to in maron in
in
the kotel
which is another thing that if you farty
we start saying
on monday if you're ashkenazi you're
saying in the last week of elul
but i don't want this video to be long i
just wanted to announce and to remind
you what is happening all the
information is on the website like i
told you and needless to say that every
day i'm going to record videos like i
told you before sorry i started saying
to refresh the chuba boot camp
then we're going gonna use the videos
that we already posted last two years
but every day i'll make a new a new
video
and i'm thinking in order to kind of
make it interesting is to make that
video in one of the holy sites and that
will have another
twist a new thing to apply in our chuva
but really what i want to emphasize in
this video i don't want it to be long is
that we have 30 days till rosh hashanah
40 days so yom kippur
this rosh hashanah is very special i
know i i know
i say every rosh hashanah or every rosh
or every shabbat is special but i'll
tell you why this rochester is special
because we're finishing
a year of shmita
now
we don't really know
when is the yovel the jubilee year
we just don't know we lost count
so this rosh hashanah
could very much be there we're going
into ayoveil there's a very good chance
that we're going into iowa 50 years you
know what it means i avail a jubilee
year
so this rosh hashanah with no doubt
we're finishing snachmita
a sabbatical year we're starting a new
cycle
and we have the option that did not this
might be a schnatio a 50th year
so that's a very special year that we're
going into
and i know i pray every day for mashiach
to come but if you follow me a few
months ago i gave a lecture where i gave
a comparison between the
prophecy
that is told to us in the talmud about
the seven years prior to the coming of
mashiach i compared it to agenda 2030 of
the evil regime that is
running and trying to control the world
and i was kind of putting them back to
back showing that we might be going into
a seven year cycle
of very hard six years till the coming
of mashiach
of course our prayers
is to
to have mashiach come any day
but this rosh hashanah is a very
powerful rosh hashanah besides the fact
that i quoted many times many places
that the coming of the son of david and
ben david
when is the son of david is going to
come at the end of the seventh year so
this roshana is the end of the seventh
year
so
can you imagine if mashiach
on rosh hashanah or a day later or two
days later wouldn't you want to be
prepared
prepare them into repent wash all your
sins off and get ready with your shabbat
garments to the coming of machines
so this
rosh hashanah is a very powerful and
important rosh hashanah that you do not
want to miss
that means that your preparation has to
be accordingly
so you have a few days to
get yourself ready
shabbat comes it's a very powerful rosh
hashanah
i will make another video explaining the
the benefits and what needs to be done
then sunday is oshkosh and right after
that we start sli hot if he's farting
and we're going into the journey
so this video is just to hype you up
prepare you
i don't want you to say oh why didn't
you let me know before that so i'm
letting you know now you still have a
few days to prepare and the preparation
is emotionally and
listen if you want to do a proper juva
you'll need to dedicate half an hour
every day for that and the half an hour
will include the videos that we post and
the text and the prayers that you're
going to have to read and pray every day
and just follow it
if you have your own methods or your own
teachers and rabbis go ahead do whatever
you can whatever you don't have to
follow us and me

want you need to do juva

easy way to doing it and the last few
years it was very successful so do

effort
i'm asking you here now to donate
millions of dollars and to to dedicate

from from uh from at the depths of my
heart this is a very powerful month we
went through a very difficult year
everybody has difficulties everybody's
going through challenges financial
challenges marital set challenges
challenges with their kids with their
jobs and
it's getting crazier harder everybody's
going through hardships
because mashiach is coming
and the only way that's going to change
the situation is chuvas repent only
so now we have 40 days to do proper
chuva 30 days till rosh hashanah and
then another initial 10 days that are
called the 10 days of juva to do real
proper good shiva before yom kippur
and all is left for us is to pray to
hashem to forgive our sins and to accept
our prayers and to bless us with a
wonderful happy year
