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
