The Power Of Vidui | Shaagat Aryeh | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

The Sha'ar HaGilgulim, one of the holy sages we've had in previous generations, in his last days, his students brought him a book, Seder Vidui. Say Tahanun, Hatati, Aviti, Pashati. You know, like you do every day. Sephardim do it every day, Ashkenazim no. Some do, some yes. Actually I actually uh And when I was in Israel, in Israel, the Ashkenazim also do Vidui every day. In America, not as much, but nonetheless, everyone knows they're supposed to say Vidui before you die. If you know you're going to die, say Vidui, meaning you're confessing your sins >> [music] >> and saying I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Hashem, I made a sin. I didn't even know it was a sin. I'm sorry, Hashem, I made a sin. I knew it was a sin, I still did anyway. I'm sorry, Hashem, I did a sin specifically to make you angry. That's the first three sins, Shema Yisrael. And he's still [music] letting us have the air to breathe to say the rest. And we're saying I'm sorry. Hashem wants our sorry. All he wants is for us to say I'm sorry. Hazal tells us that if Adam HaRishon, Adam and Eve, famous story, if Adam would have just said I'm sorry, Hashem wouldn't have banned them from Gan Eden, the whole world would have stayed perfect. Just say I'm sorry. That's how big one I'm sorry is. The only reason we're here is because somebody forgot to say I'm sorry. What did he say? Oh, it's the wife you gave me. In essence, what is he doing? He blamed it on Hava. He blamed it on Eve. You gave me this wife. >> [music] >> So technically it's also your fault, Hashem. Cuz you gave me this woman. If you didn't give it to me, I wouldn't have sinned. On that, HaMelech says, "Foolish man sins [music] and then blames Hashem for punishing him." So, now we know before we die, we say after say I'm sorry. Really, since we don't know when we're going to die, we say we do every day. Maybe today is the last day. Maybe tomorrow. And nobody should [music] be saying to to to and you know the the Sephardics, you say something not good, he starts spitting on the floor everywhere. Nobody has to be. Once you start thinking about death as [music] a transition, if you're righteous, you have nothing to worry about. If you're a rasha, then you have a lot to worry about. If you're trying to be righteous, [music] you're good. With Hashem, you succeed. But nonetheless, we know that death is not the end. Death is a transition. So, now the talmidim of Shagata Ya giving him the vidui the Kvod HaRav, "Say vidui before, you know, you're dying, you know, you don't know today, tomorrow, it's your last days. >> [music] >> Say vidui. We're not scared. Everyone knows death is a transition. They're not like it's not like politically offensive, >> [music] >> politically incorrect. Everyone knows we're going to die." So, they're telling their Rav, "Kvod HaRav, say vidui. We brought you the book in case you forgot the words, who knows?" The Rav says, "No, no, no. Bring me good Gemara. Bring me Gemara." Starts opening Gemara, starts learning Gemara. This Gemara he learned it how many times? Thousand times, 2,000 times. How many times he learned this Gemara? Again, he's learning it. Say Sha- Say vidui. Shagata Ya says something. >> [snorts] >> He says, "I learned Torah my whole life to such an extent I didn't have enough time to even think about sinning. To think about sin, I didn't have time for. Not to sin. Sin before them. Sin, I'm glued to a sham. Who wants to sin? Who wants to sin >> [music] >> when you love and fear a sham so much? But he says, "I was so busy loving and fearing a sham, I didn't even have time to think about sinning." So, Abba Yair, the son of Rebbe, is telling you you want to [music] succeed in your chuvah, make sure your time is busy. You're busy learning. You're busy working. You're busy doing stuff. Hashem will hear. Let's say thank you Hashem for more Torah. 1 2 3 We want to give a sham. 1 2 3 >> [music] >> B H Kids
