The purpose of life and the Shofar (Rosh Hashana: The feast of trumpets)

[Music] gonna be virtuality here in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the temple mount police which is the restaurant my media it was so real quick we're just going to go over the show glass and one unit Russia Shannon the big kind of positive community Russia so the big positive command is team here and so they're gonna take a horn and they're gonna make these blacks so there's three blasts and this is a these three blasts are blast these three blasts gopher are about innocence innocence lost and innocence retrieved so it's innocence innocence innocence lost then and in innocence restored so notice that innocence and instance restored has by the same blast and it's called to Keyon and takiyama means means it has a lot of meanings but the main meaning for us is that it's it's what's locked in like the truth it's the truth it's the locked in honest truth so like for example the honest truth is you are pure the honest truth is that you're amazing the honest truth is that you are like endlessly powerful and the honest truth is you make a big difference the honest truth is that you're wanted truth is that you're lovable the honest truth that you're beautiful he owns truth is that you're healthy the honest truth like that's the real honest truth and you'll notice that every kid you know show me any two-year-old they all live exactly every adjective I just described which was a whole bunch of them and that's their lives they don't they would never think otherwise but then there's something called shabari em and this is the honest truth about you and then this Shabab Arion which is the broken means the brokenness so so this is where the honest truth goes into brokenness and all of us go through this you can't sin unless you're broken and you can't we can't do anything wrong unless you're broken but this is the brokenness then and this is all the adjectives like stupid ugly fat dumb unwanted unworthy victim no good you know evil all the negativity that people have kind of running underneath the system which is which is really a broken state for the two-year-old it's amazing that those could be the same person that someone could have been to and someone could also set all this terrible stuff about me some of these it's no sense at all and yet it's universal everyone does it it's crazy how how human beings can have this brokenness going on and almost everyone you meet and what I meant to be so gentle and treating each other so fragile because we are understanding cuz everyone's broken it you don't want to like step on their broken parts you want to throw salt on their their Clifty stage food so that's the brokenness of a person and the but the thing is what we do is we try to cover up the brokenness the I'm putting it inside a case is we encase it with something like glamorous or like technologically savvy or or handsome or strong rich or we cover it up with all kinds of stupid cover-up stuff that's just a further departure from our from the honest truth you understand like it's not the honest truth it's it's just a cover of the brokenness you understand so everyone walk around with this like crazy cover-up of their brokenness which leads them to really stupid things you know that it oftentimes against our tribe meeting against tourists and you know often going directly against started tribal heritage and the ancestral traditions and the because you know you never know what's gonna be called cool in any generation and so so we're so busy trying to be cool that we could really go very far from from me and their two kids not just the honesty of the Bakula it's also the honest truth about targa about our ancestral heritage about living our lives organically as Jews fully aligned with what it means to be a Jew and then the brokenness means like one so broken anyway so like whether they can keep all that stuff in Judaism and then the cover-up who says the cover-up of 2019 has anything to do with Judy is maybe it doesn't there are there are certain application where it does you know that I know plenty of Shiva's where guys are like trying to learn the most because where she's trying to be the most Gnaeus or whatever as a cover-up you know that people are doing that too in the observant community but too often the cover-up is it's quite far from Jewish ways now here this is the this is called a true and true means means to awaken and that's to awaken from your sleep true rot is a sputtering cry they chose a spawning right it's a have you ever like sobbed so intensely that you completely lost it and your voices become like the straw ash over we were lost it like that unfortunately and this is crazy to say and I hate to say that that's kind of the only way back yeah it means chauffeur blacks are telling us the path back but you'll notice that anyone who hasn't come to sputtering compulsive grind won't be really transformed by by by whatever they tried to do to transform meaning you a lot of you it's a big industry trying to transform your life that's like right a trillion dollar industry transform your life I mean there's seminars and there's books there's a website you know programs and webinars and everything you don't get to the sputter you don't get to Cholula and by the way you can probably do almost any of those as long as you get to the sputtering convulsive cry you'll get your results but you don't get to the sputtering come on surprise you might change glad you're not gonna you're not gonna really get get today you have your innocence restored active yeah you know about the honest truth of you and live that you know some people you know some people who like really live the honest truth as adults very verifying that you know people like that I promise you they've had the sputtering cries they have sputtered and spiders and spider didn't humiliating formed sometimes in the fetal position like then dropped into full fetal position sometimes even publicly and and wailed out to rule and but that's our goal by the way somewhere between the beginning of Russia shut up till Yom Kippur you want to go there yeah you want to hit to ruin and gods holding the camera he's holding again he's waiting for that moment he's gonna shoot him shoot a little snapper and bless you for the most amazing year he wants the blesser that you're sure several snappers you know you ever give your smartphone to somebody and say mind take a picture you get your camera bags got like 30 plan editing this too I mean you're just handing backbone back with 30 photos to look at like thank you for nothing I said you should have a picture not can you shoot up pictures yeah I just want a picture I don't want a giant editing job Nick but you get it all you get people do this all the time so god is shooting along the lines of those ten days from Merced under Yom Kippur each take a little shot see throughout in case that's gonna be the best one but the one you're going for is the sputtering car that's so you want to get yourself to the right minions you want to get to the right positions you want to keep all laws both negatives and positives super accurately to make sure you don't miss it just because you're not in tune with out days got me a tomb of the days - it's not good enough you sputtered out and yet but you were like totally out to lunch on yet the actual and given day so you want to keep the day's to their fullest and get yourself to this reckoning where you're not gonna live a lie anymore you're gonna live the honest truth you're going to be honest truth and how do you do it how do you get to draw up by just realizing the cost your cost we've got to realize how much you paint but realize here how this reader won't help you but when you realize here how much it costs Wisconsin relationships its customer relation with God was country relation with yourself was customer relation with parents what's it what's waiting paying for this what are you paying to be telling yourself this Barbic be covering it up with some more garbage lady paying with that what are your kids gonna say if you when you get married or what are your kids made now if you are married what does it cost and then you have this amazing reckoning of realizing that you are shooting yourself in the foot constantly but but just your way and being is messing you up and it's not even true because God created all of us appeal and we fell from that race we fell from our innocence and but it's waiting for us and the way we get back to is too intense rewritten this is intense regret when you get clear with the cost and we get to the intense regret how much we pay how much our immediate family our friends but how much our intimacy planet revelation of God is like the incredible gigantic cumulative cost of living your life from a broken state and when you get super real to that you get to the sputtering cry that's rua and you awaken in what gives did you give birth to yourself giving breath hurts man it's it's come to screaming I've been those birthing rooms they do that a lot of those sputtering cries are going on in there and in a child's being born so that's your child came forth you need to give birth the chair of shop I don't know what you're gonna do to get it you know I run seminar specifically the plots of your son are specifically set up to give that to people and the next ones in Muncie actually in I think the week after Sukkot and and then after that I got a couple English ones for many here and then London in December so but there's plenty of separate you don't even mind but it's sort of any ones that said that the centers designed to take you to this place and the best seminar involved is our own Jewish summer which begins Sunday night Russia Sun it's designed to get you there and if nothing else does it Yom Kippur will get you go new home Kippur fully it'll get you and make sure it you're in the right place for the last prayer because if you get there you got to make sure you have a constant apposite means the prayer leader you can have a prayer leader who's gonna break the prayer in a prayer leader breaks and you can't even go on because he's crying so intensely that's the perb you want to get to really not made it hey Shalom everybody
