[Music] this video is brought to you by at.org presented by Rabbi Alon anava if you would like to dedicate a class in honor of someone please contact us via our website at www.m.org please subscribe to this channel to be notified about new videos and tonight we actually we're going to talk about three very important things first of all we're in a very special night this is so that in itself is a very asici time and I want to talk about today about three major things the power and the importance of the day of roses a little bit about the holiday of shabat and the giving of the Torah and also this night is a very ASP specious time to read a special prayer that is called f the prayer is for the kids if whoever who didn't read it already can still read it but uh excuse me time anything until what time can we read it there's no time it's better to read ites right before the sun goes down but I'm going to go a little bit about that and the connection to shab and the connection to and then you'll see technically you can read it almost any time you want this just auspicious times to read it no no that prayer yeah no that prayer is you can read every day some sages say you should memorize the prayer and say it every day but the rabbi who who who is known as the holy Shah the Shah is the acronym Shin his name is horovitz the very special Rabbi was born in Prague about 450 years ago 450 to 500 years ago from a very very special family horowits up until today there's many disciples all over the world his father was a great Rabbi his father was a talmid of the Rama and he was right away known from his childhood to be something very very special very early age he already became a aedin AE of a a a Jewish court and he was a a bin in many different countries and his dream was to go to Israel and he did it and in those days they had to go imagine Europe they had to go through turkey from Syria or Lebanon down into Israel and he was he stopped in Syria in khb where he was greeted in great honor and on the way he was actually arrested along with another 15 rabbis I don't know 15 maybe he was the 15th but there were about 15 rabbis that got arrested and they were tortured and they gave they gave them hell but he finally made it and he made it to is and he's buried now inia right next to the rambam there's a Sho the besset of the of the Shah that that Sho was there 800 years before he came there and the second that he came there and he started praying there they said okay that's the show of the Shala kados inia so and the thing is that the acronym that he got Shah is because he wrote a very special book and that's the acronym of shos was a very great mual very very special Rabbi so he h compiled this prayer now there's actually a contradiction some people say that he compiled it himself some people say that he got it as a m from previous rabbis nobody really knows but either way it doesn't matter a prayer for parents to read over for the over the children and you know we all know I'm sure all of you if not some of you are parents you only want for your kids to be healthy and good kid kids and any one they will ask him about the kids no just just that they'll be healthy most important healthy and then they should be good kids and they should be have a lot of and they should learn T every parent wants for their kids the best and he explains that in order for us to get that best for our kids we must pray for them and not only just saying you know once a year to Hashem you know I want my kids to be okay he you asked before if we can read it when should we read it some say read memorize it and say it every day every day okay nobody will say it every day but some say yeah memorize it because at the end of the day the most important thing in our life is our kids more than the parasa more than than anything is our health and our and the and the well-being of our kids in the Physical Realm one wants the kids to be healthy and good because that's the you get that's the joy you get if Shalom a parent sees a child sick there's no greater sorrow to to to for a parent it even says that if a person a a parent loses a child he has to bury a child in his lifetime then this person is GED he's promised to be in ganeden because the the suffering of going by losing a child in this world is nothing greater than that amen so nothing we don't want more right now we have it here if you don't want to say it now just go on internet just do or sh it comes right away I have it also on my website in English and in Hebrew if you want later I'll give you all the the the link but even though you just go to Google and do or the prayers for by the Shah you'll you'll find numerous copies of it so as I was saying a parent doesn't want more for his child just for the child to be healthy and behave well and to to to to be a good child so the holy Shah inad the prayer to say for the parents to pray on the kids he said it's best to read it ones every KES once a month but the most supicious time to read it is D which is this evening tonight one of the reasons why this is such an supicious time to dka pray on our kids which if you ask my Commendation pray for your kids every day this is not a long prayer this takes maybe 3 minutes to say if you care about your kids then you pray every day but if you can do it every day then do it every KES and if you can't do it every KES then do it ones one of the reasons why it's a spicious time to do is because when gave the Tor to the in the desert which we're going to talk about it very soon he asked for guarantors the same way you go now to a bank and you want to get a mortgage or you want to get a loan if you don't have good credit they ask for guarantors so hasem said before I'm giving you this precious gift I need guarantors that you're not going to waste this precious gift so the Jews answered we're going to give you our kids as guarantors meaning that they're going to continue learning your Torah and following your path and doing the mitv and our kids are going to be our guarantee so the whole month of Sian to it wanted from B is guarant why should I give you this panana why should I give you this present this Tora so B said we're going to give you our kids as guarantors and we're going to teach our kids to go in the path of to we're going to teach our kids to do mitv we're going to teach our kids about this great Revelation that we saw cuz in essence when you think of it every prayer every every little thing that we do we constantly mention the leaving and we constantly repeat the whole M the whole time that we got to Torah there a great question that people say how do you know that it's all true how do you know so the easiest way to explain it is the same way that in the in the Physical Realm in this country everybody celebrates once a year on Fourth of July the independence of this country one can ask the same thing how do you know how do you know it's true how do you know that this is the day that this country got this Independence oh because we're celebrating it already from generation to generation and my father told me that his father told me that his father told etc etc going back 400 years that on this day this country got this Independence so up until today we're celebrating it so we can answer the same thing yeah we did the same thing my great great great great great grandfather was in Matan T he saw the entire thing and he told it to all the generations and that therefore we know it's true and we celebrate this day every year and we're going to celebrate this day in a week so this night is such an asp specious time to say this this prayer because we offered our kids in Matan T at the time when we got to Tora we offered our kids as guarantors so since we don't want to be liable if I now bring guarantors to get a mortgage and if I'm not going to pay my payments they're going to go to the guarantors so if I'm not going to be following the Tora and the mitv is going to go to my kids and if my kids don't keep Tora and mitv I'm going to have a problem because I'm signed on a deal so I have also obligation here to bring my kids up in the path of Torah and the path of mitv and to teach them but everything in this world needs aem's help nothing in this world can happen without Hashem intervening SES teach us that even if Hashem would not help us we wouldn't be able to fight our we constantly have to pray forem for everything if you look in the in the pray of that we do every day all the prayers we asking hem for physical things and helping us to open our hearts to his Torah to make us more easy to observe the Torah so we have to pray for everything mainly for our kids health for our kids for their love to the Torah for their love to hem and this is the supicious night that you can read it you can read it any day there's no prohibition to read it any day if you have the the free extra five minutes and read it every day you can't excuse me there's no there's no time to no not there's not an asici not necessarily a time where to read it you can read it in the morning in the night you can read it on Shabbat you can read it anytime you want because we have a a bad habit of not sticking to things on a regular base then we Instead at once a year it's an supicious time the thing is that why do we want to do it on an supicious time and not on an a regular day because I gave the example last class when I was here that every time there's a holiday in this country there's sales there's Memorial Day 80% sale Independence Day 90% sale Veterans Day 60% sale why because it's an supicious time to make a sale so the same way that this country in the Physical Realm they find a special day to give a sale that everybody runs to the department stores to buy everything for 50% off so toight is an supicious time what's called Anon that it's at right time that our prayers can be heard and this is where I want to talk a little bit about KES before I start talking about we're just going to everybody can taste from the fruit and and say the and we have new fruit so you can say sh and right after we continue with all the we're going to talk a little bit more about theous time you know it says that the S of the person who answers to the is greater than the person who actually says the so it's very important to be be focused and listen to the and answer because if you just say Amen cuz you just heard you didn't listen it's called am it's like you just said hi no there's no power to it and teach us that when a person says amen if you look at the numerical value of the word am is 91 gatria and it's the same numerical value of the word specifically is1 and the word Mal Angel is also 91 and when a person listens to a what is aen is the acronym of K which means that what you say I agree with you I affirm so when you listen to the and you internalize what your fellow friend said and you answer with all your heart Amen on that sport you you create a Mal you create an angel so just by sitting sometimes in a Sho and answering a 100 amends you create an army of Angels the zor explains that if a person doesn't have kavana in his not only that he was like talking about like nonsense it does the opposite effect person has to have the meaning the kavana is actually thinking what he's about to say person has to hold in his hand what he's about to eat concentrate and say okay I'm now going to eat this piece of fruit and to kind of take a two three second meditation what is actually happening that in this food there what's called a a Godly spark that came from a very high world we know that before this world was created there were two worlds two spiritual Worlds the world of toou which is all separated everything is separated and the word of fixing which is all one comes from the word everything is one Oneness everything that comes from came to fix the everything that originates from to manifestes down to this world that is what's called in a everything that is not Kosher not pure not permissible comes from one day we can do a about explaining that yes but the the the teach us that everything has a Godly spark everything that manifestes from manifest down into this world into animals into vegetation and into ananat in the ofel he says that he saw in the chair of Glory four faces a face of a man a face of an eagle a face of an lion and a face of an ox the face of the man it manifestes into Adam to Human the face of the ox manifestes down to this world to all the behemot all the animals that are under the category of which is Ox cows there sheep goats Etc all the animals that manifestes from P from the face of the line is all the regular all the rest of the animals all the animals that manifestes from the p from the face of the eagle is all the birds which includes also chickens and ducks and they're all under the same thing of and under this there are type of angels that are called ofanim you read it inim is a very high type of Angel when people ask if they're aliens in this world these are theim whoever sees aliens it's not aliens from Mars and from other galaxies rather it's those angels ofan in Hebrew is a galal is something round that's why the aliens you see them the flying sources are round we can do another sh just on that but these these very great malim Every Creature even a spiritual creature so much more so a physical creature has waste you eat then comes waste also have waste the waste of these of is all the vegetation in this world to make a long story short everything manifestes from a spiritual World down to this world and we as human beings have the power to take the animate to take the vegetation and to take the animals and release The Godly spark that is in it that came down from this release it out and elevate it back to its source but to a greater World cuz I already fixed it and from there I'm able to elevate it to a higher level what's called or and S at smooth and soft the a very great and high level of Godly Revelation so when I eat if I just eat it because I hungry then I didn't do anything and my eating has no meaning but if I actually said the the I actually release The Godly spark and when I eat it if I then take my energy and I pray and I do mitv and I learn Tora then I have an elevator to elevate that spark up and if I don't then the spark St down and I'm compared to an animal that just eats and nothing comes out of it so when one says a has to meditate what am doing here I'm here a messenger an emissary of hem to help bring back all these Godly Sparks up to Hashem so when I became religious was hard for me to observe all the MIT so I said it's easy for me to say when I eat because it takes 3 seconds to say a before i e and seven seconds to say the after braa so I would concentrate on saying my and if a person will meditate and concentrate all day long to put his mind and focus on the B when he eats and the importance behind it then you great get Great Value from your day because in our busy schedule it's hard to learn hard to pray hard to do many things but you can take 5 Seconds to meditate what's going to happen now before I bite this apple and with that you reach to very high levels because you become a partner in the creation and you don't compare yourself Shalom to an animal that just eats because it's its nature to itat so going back to our topic we talked about the Holy Shala that instated this greata so whoever didn't read it yet can still read it you can read it at night you can read it a day is an supicious time meaning that a 90% sale you say it on there's 80% sale you said on Shabbat will be 70% and so forth but you want to tap into the auspicious time and this is where I want to talk a little bit about and because the world was created with time when hasem wanted to create the world he had to create two elements place and time and in order to create the world he had to create first the space where to put the world and then he had to create time that that's why we see that in the six days of creation it's defined by time and every second of the creation there's a different godly power that comes down to this world what's called a ham a Godly Revelation sometimes it's more be more revealed sometimes it's less beu and sometimes when it's more be this this godly power is very revealed that's an supicious time so what's an auspicious time Shabbat because we know on Shabbat the Revelation The Godly revelation is much more powerful than during the week so we see that on Shabbat we have to segregate ourselves from main things that's why we're not allowed to work that's why we're not allowed to do so so many me because the world is being elevated to a different realm and it's not sh it's not it's it's it's not there's no connection out to the world but Shabbat comes every week so we kind of get we get used to the suspicious time but during the the entire year there are three festivals that are considered very supicious time which is p and sukot then we have we have Yip and then we have two special holidays that are that the rabbis instated puim and kanuka and one of the reasons why it was instated as a holiday not only because there was a miracle yeah one can say why do you celebrate porim why do you celebrate kanuka because 2,000 years ago is a miracle yeah but if you look in the history of the Jews there's thousands of Miracles why don't why don't we celebrate other Miracles and we celebrate the miracle of puim do you know that when Yoshua went to conquer isra he was in one of the wars and the sun started going down and he said I need a few more hours to win this war and if I'm not going to have sunlight I'm going to lose the war and there was a greatness that the sun stayed where it is it didn't go down why don't we celebrate that day it was a greatness and he won the war and he was able to go into Israel and if you look into the tanak you'll find hundreds if not thousands of Miracles why don't we celebrate those Miracles why do we celebrate just kanuka and just puim the reason why we celebrated besides the great miracle that was then on these specific days there's a great godly revelation this Godly Revelation that is very accessible it's very easy to grab and to to to tap into it that's why our sages say this is such an auspicious time let's tap into it let's instate it a special day because if I'm now going to say every Wednesday every third Wednesday of the month is an auspicious time if we wouldn't State a special day for it nobody will pay attention it will pass like a regular day but when our sages in state at a day and say oh this this is a special day it's for us to say oh it's a h it's a holiday let's get together let's do something let's meditate on the day and so forth so our sages instated that puim and kanuka are special holidays because of this Godly Revelation this suspicious time that happens this time of the year same thing with the festivals but more than that we have 12 times a year that we are blessed with the special day of rodes that our sages call roses a a festival they call it aatan it's a mini Festival but it's a festival soes is such an auspicious time that if you look at all the prayers that we saying on roses you just by reading the prayers you understand the power of this day the day of atonment the day of forgiveness the day of achievement such a great day to a point that where we have to minimize mundane things on this day and cherish this day to to to to Great levels now I have a whole lecture online you should go and look at it about the the the connection ofes women and David it's a very special lecture it's only half an hour 35 minutes very interesting I don't want to repeat it but it's basically is saying how special this particular day rodes is for women dka and one of the reasons is because at the time of the golden calf when the B Isel were in the desert and they sinned with the golden calf so we know that they gathered around and they took all the jewelry and made the the the eav the women didn't want to participate and because they didn't want to participate they merited that this festiv is going to be for their I think I mentioned it in one of the previous classes that each one of our forefathers merited to have in his one of the festivals Abraham ainu got the Festival of P for many different reasons one of the reasons if you remember in in when the Angels Came to tell Abraham ainu about Sarah that she's going to have a son and to heal him from the circumcision it was PES and he told Sarah go to the tent make mat we know that a year later was born on PES there's many other reasons but abah got the that the Festival of PES is his yov got the Festival of shab because you know that yov was sacrificed he was supposed to be on the sacrifice then abru saw the ram took the ram cut the horn and this is one of the horns is kept for mashia when mashia will come they're going to and on the that see that the wine is strong I'm I'm I'm I shouldn't drink wine before so was the the was supposed to be sacrificed so you know the whole story so got the of because it says that the mat T there was theot of thear there was the sounds of thear blown we don't blow thear on but so got the of sh andov when he came back Froman he made to his cattle and to his sheep and to his herds so therefore he has theot of the Festival of sukot but since the women didn't want to participate in the they got the Merit that is their holiday that's why many women they take on themselves not to do any me on these days to to to make it a very special day for them you should go look at that class because it's very interesting the connection between thees and the women and and soes is a very special time it's a time that it's in such an supicious time that one needs to meditate and concentrate on this day it's 24 hours a day that one can reach ayment one can reach and Kap and it's done with praying and it's done with many other things one of the things that we do Ines that is very very special is we do AES now there are two meals that even thean gave them a whole different s and they cherish these two meals as very very powerful meals two sud one of them is M Mala which is considered an amazing amazing time with great skot great remedies if you don't eat that meal I I definitely recommend not to miss it even once the meal of M Mala and you make a nice SM of it and a l of people say okay I'll leave a little bit of crackers or whatever you have to make it a special meal washing for bread the point is to to make it a very special meal to take a very unique dish that you like the most and make this dish just from Mala and to make it a very special meal maybe we can do one sh just about M malka because if you would really know the the the Mysteries and the mysticism behind it one would not want to miss it it actually in some places say in a very very extreme way that only whoever celebrates the meal of M Mala will Merit to be part of the G because this is sud mashia David mashia excuse me the the sud of and the other meal ises and these are two asici meals that have great great great powers and we even see in a very special way that again going back to the sh that I said you that is online you should go and see the connection between David and Roses but there's many different hints one of the hints the connection between David Ines that the gatria the numerical value of the wordes is exactly the same numerical value of the word davidow it's the same num Val we know thatav is connected to mashiach mashia is going to come from David another hint of how great the sudat of roses is is that the gatria of the sentence is the same numerical value the same gatri of Abraham mavid [Music] David the numerical value mavid the same numerical vales is the same numerical value of the sh we're not going to go too much into it but the the power of the ofes not tonight during the day you make a beautiful suda you gather your family and you wash for bread and you make a special meal just by sitting in the meal the the the power that one can get just by eating the meal no no no praying no nothing just the power of sitting in the sudes if one would know what a Kap what ayment one gets on ones from the what's what what atonment forgiveness everything is ones just open the and read the in thees you understand what you can achieve on that day and one of the things is by doing thees is done during the day or during the day not tonight you do it y of course if you want to if you want to continue then you do it before before stand down and then you let it go to the to the evening and you you get a greater Revelation the point is that why we need to meditate on such on such a special day is exactly what I said before that there are certain times of the year that the Godly Revelation is very easy accessed now imagine that that why is that is that why is that every year the same things happen why is it there's certain things that what what's like what's The Godly revelation of what's different like when you said Yu the sun stopped for it so that's a Godly Revelation not great enough enough to celebrate it every year I'll tell I'll tell you what I I I'll give you an example the word holiday in Hebrew is comes from the word now I don't know how to translate the word mea in English but you know Architects have you know it's a very old tool that it has two pieces of metal one has a pin one has a pencil and you turn it around and it makes A Perfect Circle maybe one of you can look quickly on online how to translate the word m I don't know how good M also is a uh how do you say Mog on the on the watch you have how do you call the two arrows on a clock the show the time how do you call in English the ones on the clock not a digital clock on a regular clock hands hands hands yes that's anything that makes a perfect circle compass compass compass no Compass the maten anyways I don't know the word I'll look at I look for it later but me when we were kids I know Architects use it or whatever it's a two pieces of metal connected to each other one has a needle that you stick on the pap one has a piece of lead like a pencil you turn it around makes a perfect circle that's anything that makes a perfect circle and starts at one point and finishes at the same point is called M that's why the the hands of the clock is called because they constantly do the same thing that's why the called because it makes a circle every year comes and it comes on the exact same day this is the concept of is a festival our sages call the festival sh p and festivals but they also Calles Festival because it repeats itself it's constantly coming back same thing with the word year in Hebrew is sh why is it called sh cuz sh it comes back all the time from makes a repetition sh not from no is not Shin shinui is a a difference or how do you how do you translate Shin is to repeat Shinu is a change excuse me but the point is that there are special days in the year in the cycle of the year that the Godly revelation is empowered if you want to compare it to the Physical Realm it's like an eclipse once a year the sun is positioned in the same place well I don't know once a year maybe once in whatever how many years the sun and the moon are positioned in the same place because there's a cycle that turn around and every such and such years and days the sun and the and the moon meet the eclipse the eclipse why did hasem created like that one of the reasons is because everything in this world that hasm created in the Physical Realm manifestes from the spiritual realm in the spiritual realm there's a concept Concept in that it's called Everything Is circles in cabala everything is exactly no I'm talking about it manifestes down to this world that's why you see all the planets around everything here is Cycles what does it mean that this Godly Revelation is is is more accessible it's exactly the same idea what I said before that once a year there's a holiday then they come out with a sale to give a different example is every four years there's a presidential campaign during those four years if you would want to talk to the president you have zero chance to talk to the president only if you are a governor or a senator or a relative or whatever maybe you'll get the chance after many days or weeks or months that you're waiting you'll get a personal meeting with the president it's impossible who can meet the president but once every four years there's a presidential election suddenly you see him in the street shaking everybody's hands you can see him face to face you can talk to him why cuz for him it's an aspicio time that he can come show his face to the public smile so he will convince you to elect him but this is the time where he makes himself accessible what's so special about this time cuz he wants you to vote for him now this is a very lame physical example but in the spiritual realm there are times that Hashem wants to be very accessible to you was last week that you were saying something about how the way that you present yourself at all times is important the position is before I can't hear you is you always the way you present at sit how act how you dress correct when you're praying at every moment because God is present at every moment but now you're say times when that when he's more accessible doesn't mean that he's not present he's always present access I'll give you an example imagine how a big firm you have the CEO the president pres and you have thousands of workers the CEO walks between the floors he walks around nobody can come approach him and talk to him you see him you know he's on the top floor you know he's there you you know there's cameras on all the cubicles that you you have to sit like this cuz you know cameras are looking at you but you don't see him you don't talk to you once a month he comes down to the department see he goes to the workers sh shakes their hands talk to them how's the food how's the how's the the conditions I'll give you an example when I was in the Army there's a platoon then there's a brigade then there's a uh division there's you there's hierarchy so we know that there's a a a a commander on top of all the hierarchy we never see him we don't know who he is we know who he is we never see him would even think to dare to talk to him and I know that if do something wrong they take me to court marshal in this Commander once in a blue moon you know I see him and when I see this Commander who you have to stand like you know you can't move but once every blue moon this commander walks in between all the soldiers Soldier how are you what's your name where are you from how's the food how's your clothes how are you sleeping you feeling okay so this is again these are bad examples because you can't compare anything in the Physical Realm to the spiritual realm but the reality is that Hashem is constantly present that's why exactly what I said last week accessible accessible means that you can just you can always turn to Hashem and talk to him but and Hashem is always present is around you but there are supicious time that Hashem tells you now you have my undivided attention now is a time that um you know hem dresses himself in many different garments sometimes he's dressing himself in the Garment of Judgment of De you got to be you got to stay away sometimes hasem dresses himself in the Garment of of kindness of Mercy that's the time when you approach him sometimes dresses himself in the Garment of H of n hasem has different garments how he governs the worlds so we know for example between the beginning of till it's a very asici time where Hashem is dressed only in the Garment ofed it's 40 days that you can approach Hashem and your request is going to be answered much faster and much easier Hashem doesn't make himself accessible all day long why is that that's a whole different concept by himself he's still is you know as much as he loves us he's still Our God and he's still our King has to be some type of hierarchy we can't just turn to our King and say hey how you doing today doesn't work like that there's a way to approach the king but sometimes there's a Independence Day or a veteran day that the sell hasem says today I'm taking off my Garment of judgment just come and talk to me yeah it doesn't mean that the the the accessibility if I'm using the right word is at the same level but it's there of course it's there hem is always there Hashem any second any second that you want to call Hashem Hashem will will will listen but some special days Hashem is more accessible to your prayers and the time your prayers will be answered much easier I'll give you a different example what does that mean there are people prayers are never answered they're not answer how do does that how do you know that people's prayers don't get answered how do you know that they do because all the prayers get up to Hashem it's maybe not what a person needs to get sometimes a person can but I I but I my child can come to me and pray for me to buy him a gun please please buy me a gun I heard the prayer no and my answer is no it's not good for you so I gave a very extreme example but my child can come and ask for something he prays all day long he prays he doesn't pray for aido he just calls my pants and pulls it like this and he says please please I'll be such a good boy just buy me this I hear the prayer I just didn't not that I didn't accept it I just no I don't want to give you this I want to give you that that's the problem with many people they prayer for the wrong thing so they say oh Hashem didn't give me my prayer now to get off subject with the whole concept of the prayer and I don't want to really get off the subject I kind of want to do this class and L and later on we'll do more questions but the zor explains that there's many chambers in sham and when I pray my prayers go up we did a a class about prayer 3 weeks ago my prayer goes up to the first chamber there's a whole Heavenly Court there a whole B sitting there they take the prayer and they analyze it should we elevate it to the next level or should we leave it here is it good enough did you really concentrate on the pray do you really want it do you really mean it do you have enough have enough merits maybe let's they judge it if you're worthy the prayer goes up another chamber and another chamber and another chamber before it comes up to Hashem there's many chambers where it has to go through that's why our prayers have to be clean they have to be honest they have to a person has to prepare himself before he before he prayers women is a little bit different but a man has to go in the in the morning to the mik has to bring himself a an extension ofus had to get remove all this negative energy from him then a person has to a man has to learn a little bit before he prayers has to do what's called H preparation you have to make a preparation so the more you prepare for the prayer your prayer is more honest and more sincere most people when they prayer you know there's too many thoughts going on they're not really concentrating have the people texting on the phone it's not that's not a prayer so the thing is that all our prayers get come to Hashem whether Hashem wants to give it to you or not that's his his decision maybe sometimes hasem doesn't want to give a person what he's praying for because he's not he's not worthy for it or he's not supposed to get it or it's bad for him person can now pray for something and it's not the not the right time I gave the example I think last time when we did the show with the prayer that we met here a few weeks ago a friend of my wife that when we lived in New York she was this girl that never got married all the weddings she was sitting by herself all the Shabbat tables she was by herself she was the girl who never got married and everybody was praying for her and mentioning her names for years she never got married now two months ago we finally met her husband and we were like ohash after maybe 10 10 years she finally got married and we now figured out why she didn't get married because her husband only became a BAL Chua two years ago so she became B Chua 10 years ago she was ready her husband wasn't ready her husband was wandering in the world two years ago he became B Chua then she got him and when she went to shim she said I want a a husband a God-fearing husband she said I want to have a beard I want him to learn Tor I want him to be praying three times a day so they couldn't find the husband because the husband at the same time was in disects so when you're looking it from this angle she can say my prayers weren't answered Hashem says oh oh they were answered just the other side wasn't ready yet so sit and wait so Hashem always hears our prayers and if they don't get answered how we want them to it doesn't mean that Hashem didn't answer them it's just means that we're not worthy of getting it or we're not supposed to get it maybe it's not the time for me to have no parasa maybe it's not the time for me now to get married I don't knowem knows hasem knows what's good for me we we're not going to do a sh now about praying and I want to go through the sh but going back to what I was saying there are auspicious times in the year where hasem is more accessible to you he's more easy to be turned to he's more willing to be forgi forgiveness like I said before between rodes the head of the month of till Yip there's 40 days that the 13 attributes of Mercy are shining what's called beab and it's an asici time to to to reach to tap into the Garment of rim of mercy of hem so it's the time to do chuva and to repent and to to to change things it's not the right time if you look fromes from the beginning of the month of a till it's a very bad time for for for it's a time that mid the Garment of of judgment is you don't want to even think of praying to Hashem that's why you minimize everything we don't that's why we don't eat meat and we don't celebrate we don't want to even show any excuse me fromes to there three weeks from these are three weeks that are also very you know I don't like using the wrong words but it's not an suspicious time to pray to Hashem it's suspicious time to hide why because this time of the year the Judgment the mid hasem is dressed in this Garment of judgment for whatever reason and it's not the right time to do anything festivity festive now why do we minimize our Behavior why do we don't do parties why do we don't listen to music we don't do big parties for engagements and stuff like that because we don't want the Satan we don't want the the the the prosecutor com in sham and saying oh this is a very bad time now and they're finding the time now to celebrate and you just bring on yourself more judgments so we know this times of the years of the year that are more supicious to judgment sometimes they more supicious to Mercy so the time fromes till thees is a very is time for Mercy that's when it's time to do cha so why it happens that's what that's the will of hem we can do another sh just of the reason reasons why hasem does it in a very short way why hasem does it because he wants to give you times first of all AEM I'm going to talk in a second about Tru specific things of that you have to concentrate on and it will kind of answer this and this thing you know what I'm actually going to say it now cuz it will just answer your question the main thing we celebrate on of the of the on this holiday is that we received the Tor T it's called the day that we got the Tor it's called also for you know we finishing the seven weeks of the there's many reasons why it's called sh but in essence this is called even in the prayer we don't say we said this is the day that we celebrate the time that we got the Torah so the entire holiday is around the point that Hashem gave us the Torah so hasem gave us the Ten Commandments on that holiday on this suspicious day and the first commandment is I am the God your God who took you out of Egypt here comes a very big question if you if if this is such a great thing that the first uh commandment it's considered you know our sages sages teach us that the importance goes by the first and then as they go lower the less importance on the Commandment we mentioned last week about the comparison between between murder and Shabbat cuz in this world if you're going to tell any person go and murder that person they be like Shalom will never dare to murder anyone this is in our eyes considered one of the worst things but if you look in the hierarchy of the de this not don't murder is number six and keep Shabbat is number four so in the hierarchy Shabbat is much more important than murder so if we look at it that to murder somebody in this world is the worst thing but most people say Shabbat Shabbat well who cares it's not an important thing so if the first Deb the first commandment is supposedly be the most important why is theem mentioning that he took us out of Egypt say I am Hashem who created the world in essence it seems like a much greater thing than taking me out of Egypt why does AEM say in the first commandment I took care of Egypt say something great like creating the world then the second Deb says you should not have another God besides me here is already bringing something negative w why you bringing a negative entity into this conversation right now you bringing the option of sinning that doesn't another thing that doesn't really make sense you should say you should only serve me why are you saying you should not have another God you you have to follow the words how the how the the wording is so the thing is that we know what really happened on Matan Tora is that hasem gave us the power to serve him according to our power before mat nobody served theem nobody kept the mitv besides our forefathers Abraham yob they kept the entire Torah but they kept it in such high level they didn't do the physical they didn't put in they did it in a spiritual level so they were able to keep the entire Torah in a spiritual realm then came very few individuals in history that they also kept the entire Torah but they didn't do it with anything physical at the time of Matan Tora the decree was en old up in there was a decree the heavens the the is for theim for the Supreme for the ab and everything in this world in this earth is for human being but during the decree was changed that the lower realm went up to the spiritual realm and the spirit realm world came down to the Physical Realm we see that mosu represents the lower realm he went up to the mountain and this spiritual realm hasem went down on the mountain there was a there was a connection between the spiritual and the physical there was no connection between the spiritual and the physical so there were very few mitv that we got before mat we got to be fruitful and multiply we got the Mitzvah of circumcision before we left Egypt hem gave us a few more mitv doing the the the the the blood of the mil the the blood of the circumcision and doing theban P he had to give us a few mitv because we didn't have mitv but we only got all the mitv in Matan T so when our forefathers did the mitv they did the ex the same act in the spiritual realm so in t hasem decided that the decree will be en olded and now the spiritual and the physical will be merged together and that's why he gave us all the physical mitv so we can merge the spiritual spiritual with the physical but what really happened that up until mat whoever wanted to serve hem did it how hasem wanted with the power of hem Fromm said now I'm going to give you free will I'm going to give you and you're going to serve me from this day on on with your power not with my power with your power meaning that it gives in space and room for a person to fail what does it mean that we serving hasem according to our power Shem tells you to do a mitvah hasem tells you to not to do a sin you come to the crossroad should I do it should I not do it if comes a Mitzvah in your way and you did it then you did the will of hem and you you won this point right now and if you didn't you fail you failed the the Mitzvah excuse me ultimately everything is the will of hem the thing is that the reason why the second mitvah and not the first one was set in such a way is to give us the option that we have to serve Hashem with our power we have our own free will to do it it wouldn't be fair if Hashem would do it for us meaning that we have to have our own power to do it you mentioned before with the it says that for every time Hashem spoke their soul left the their body so thear explains that at the first commandment hasem said and all their souls went out of their body they died and then how did he got them alive again he brought down this Dew that same Dew that will have in and that's how he resurrected them they got them alive again and then in the second again they died and so for every in the first it's talking about why is that the most important commandment because it's very easy to do something that is a habit if you were now born and you have a habit it's it's very easy to continue doing the habit but it's the hardest thing to break the habit and this is where hasem says I want you to serve me in your level because I want you to break your habit not me breaking your habit that's the concept why the second commandment was given to us in in a negative form you should not have other because hem wanted to P give us this space that we can fail a that we can do Chua but more than that that we we have the right the right self choice if to do it or not to do it and if hasem would not do that we would do it according to you know we would serve hem with his power more than that the reason why it's said in such a way is that Hashem says to do something you know that is your habit it's a very easy thing but I want you to break your habits and at the time that hem says that what do it got to do with the habits if hasem would say in the first commandment I am your God that created the world you know we all know we all know that you created the world we know it's a great miracle but you know what's the greater miracle in the that Hashem changed the nature of the world in creating the world it's an action that is called from yes something from nothing Hashem took nothing and he created something yes it is a great miracle but it's forem it's like for us you know peeling an apple forem to create something is nothing so for him for us it's a great thing forem is nothing to create the world so for him it's like another day no I'll create a world so it's not a great miracle in hashem's eyes but to change the nature of this world that's a great miracle so because before that the nature there was no nature of the world so because no there was so then creating because now creating nothing something from nothing isn't nature no creating something from nothing for us is a great miracle forem it's nothing but it's not nature no you're missing the point for hasem to create something from nothing is is not a big deal for him we look at it as a great miracle once the creation is once the creat is made hasem created the world with rules and Nobody Breaks the Rules including him that's why all the Miracles they must get dressed in nature there's no such a thing hasem does not break the rules of the world he created the world there rules and they're not meant to be broken they can be bent a little bit but that's it Hashem will never break the rules so any miracle that Hashem wants to bring down to this world the miracle has to get dressed in nature it cannot happen in a in a way that is beyond nature so if you look at all the exactly if you look at all the Miracles that happened at the time of leaving Egypt they were all dressed in nature just that Hashem manipulated the SED the order of nature this is a greater Miracle why because forem to create the world is like for us having a habit I have a habit to do such and such for me to break break the Habit is is a lot of work so for hasem to bend the rules to break this habit because it says recreates the world every second they didn't create the world 5,775 years ago and went out for coffee Hashem recreates the world every second and if one second Hashem backs out the world doesn't exist anymore Hashem constantly recreates the world but for him it's a habit he recreates the world every second but to change the laws of nature that's already Breaking the Habit and the same thing with us we have habits we are born with habits and most of them are bad but for us to break our habit that's a greater Miracle that's why the first commandment says this is the Commandment that gives us the power to break our habits and this is the whole concept of this holiday that we have an asici time to break our habits to break our negative habits because we're all born with negative habits and this is the main power of this holiday we have 10 powers of this holiday because every commandment gives us a power that we can use in our our serving of Hashem so the thing is that we can take from this holiday that everyb every commandment gives us power to do something so in this sh we're going to concentrate that we can tap into this asici time because again we have an asici time on shabat that hem gives us the power that the same way that hasem says I bent my rules I went out of my Habit to get you out of Egypt I'm giving you now the power that you can break your habits and you can go out of your Egypt because it says our sages says every day a person has to himself like as if today he went out of Egypt now Egypt in Hebrew is MIT MIT comes from the word m mitar is a limitation we all have a limitation why our sages tell us that every day a person has to see himself like as if he went out of Egypt cuz today I got out of my limitation I got up one level higher tomorrow I'm going to deal with another limitation and then I'm going to overpower it I'm overcome it and the following day I'm going to have another limitation to to work with the thing is that people think they they get into despair that they have any they have a a test from Hashem they fight it they overcome it and then they're saying okay I hope tomorrow I'm done no once you finish your n tomorrow is a new one we're here to do to he to work that's why a lot of people they fall in Despair and they saying well another one another one again I have to worry about my parasa again I have to worry about getting married again I have to worry about how I'm going to pay my mortgage yeah you were created to wake up in the morning and say okay Hashem what's my job for today the fact that I have to go and work money that's to pay the bills but I have a jump so every day I have to wake up and say okay what's my job today and I have a job to overcome I have a limitation of MIT to to leave to go out of my MIT to break exactly to break my limit and to break my habit and this holiday is the spicious time that gives you the power that the same way that hasem got broke his habit you can break your habit exactly exactly so the power of sh the supicious time of shab is to overpower our limitations that's why hasem says I didn't say he didn't say I I am your God that created the world I'm the God who got you out of Egypt the second commandment is that you're going to do it yourself don't come to me to tell me take me out of my MIT you do it yourself going back to your question why the specious times is that Hashem says okay every day of the week in the year you do it yourself don't complain you are evid evid Lem you're a slave you have to do it yourself once in a blue moon I'll give you discount I'll shine on you I'll do an supicious time that you don't really have to work hard during the year if I want to have let's say a person right now did what did they do he catch catch himself in the act right the way he wants to do Chua so the first thing that he does he he says oh I I did I did something wrong he confesses oh my God I did something wrong he did Chua the second thing he says okay I I I I he feels the then he has to pray for Kap Etc during the year it's going to be very hard for him to do ch but if he does the CH it's easy it's going to be accepted much easier the prayers will be heard much hard much faster so Hashem gave us times of the year that are auspicious times that you can tap into them and the effect is much greater and the closeness to Hashem is much easier and that's when you can get it and this is the time ofes and this is the time of so what you need to take from this is that tonight and tomorrow you have 24 hours to tap into it and not to waste your time on nonsense to concentrate okay I'm going to read him now for an hour and I'm going to pray for hasem to to bless me with with healthy kids and good kids and they should have me doot and they should be disciplined and I'm going to read take another time to read and to learn and to do cha and to repent why because this is the day that the kapar the repentance comes like that in seconds this is the day that Hashem says today I'm giving you a discount just just just ask now ask now the prayers are going to be answered much easy and you make yourself a suda a great meal and you beautify the meal and you say I'm going to make no I'm not going to make crackers and cheese or whatever you make a beautiful meal and don't worry about how much this meal is going to cost for you because hem tells you on the on all the expenses ofes I'm I'm covering don't worry about it a lot of people says Ah you know I'm very tight with money don't worry go and buy steaks buy the best meal and make this Meal special because just the meal itself is a kapar so you make yourself a great sud great meal Ines people going to restaurant too if you go to a restaurant yeah yeah if you it's better than not doing anything at all every KES the the power ofes is because why is it called and notes in Hebrew is head is the beginning technically should be called notes the difference withes with everything that usually first you do then you get Ines you first get then you does you already get the reward and then you get the for the entire month on whatever you did during the week that's how your Shabbat is going to be you first get a and then it affects you the entire month so if you want a good month you invest ones not during the month there are people complain oh I had a bad month I didn't make money I I I I fought with my wife whatever it's because ones you didn't tap into that day and that's the day that you can actually get all the that's why the Shabbat before KES we call it Shabbat the Shabbat excuse me that blesses the month because that's the Shabbat that affects the entire month and the day of rodes is such an asici time forem to accept your prayers to listen to your prayers to forgive all the things you need to be forgiven and you do it by praying you do it by reading you do it by eating you do it by lighting candles you ask before why daesan every R KES is an supicious time butes every month has a power the month of Nissan we know comes from the word NES Miracle has power for miracles the month of the abbreviation of is it's a month with supicious time for healing the month ofan this is the month when you get all the has from the same way that we got the Torah this is the as is influence an influence from hem blessings from hasem it's a time when we get everything this I explained in a previous sh that there are two ways how hasem gives you one of them is called a blessing from above to below and one of them is a blessing that comes from below to above below to above means that I have to do something but the the blessing from above to below is that hasm gives you here in this month hasem gives you the from above the same with the the Tora came down from above to below this is the month that hasm tells you this month you don't have to do much on other months yeah you have to do a lot in order to bring down this ham so this is an asici time that the same way that we got the Torah every year we talked about the the cycle this is the time that every year this this godly power that comes that came down to the world 3,300 years ago the same is coming down on this day so this is the time where you tap into it this is the time when is you have an supicious time to tap into it so you should take to consideration and and and take from this class that tonight and tomorrow is an supicious time to get all your prayers answered and all your sins forgiven and everything wrong doing to Get It reversed to pray for your kids and in six days Shabbat is the time where you can tap in to reach to this power that you're going to have it much easier to break your habits to be able to bring down these Miracles into this world so I wish you great success excuse me how do you for that how do you pray for that there's two ways to pray one is from the book how our sages gave us to pray and the other one is from your heart I can't hear you the day itself is an supicious time that if you tap into the day Sunday yeah Sunday no Shabbat Sunday Saturday night Sunday day the second day is a little bit less of the power the thing is that the way it works with tapping in is that imagine a person is drowning and there's a helicopter above him with the rescue team if he doesn't put his hand out they can't pull him all he needs to do is pull his hand out and they grab him and they pull him out all you need to do is tap into the day Hashem already will pull you he will give you that tapping in is observing the holiday exactly how Hashem tells you to observe it meaning that it's like a Shabbat you can't drive you can't talk on the phone you observe the holiday exactly like a festival you do the sud do you do the meals of the festival you pray you go to a you open the S you pray exactly [Music] aah [Music]
