Good morning. Welcome. We have a lot of topics to cover. Want to dedicate this year. This year today is covered is dedicated for um sponsored by our dear friend at everything you do. and Rafael bin Esther your father mitem goes higher and higher in the upper worlds because of all the andos and your learning toy that you're involved with alias I was the one dedicated for him and his family and an announcement next week we don't have a shir but we do have a shir the following week in two weeks from now shabas parasino and then we'll have a break for till so next week no she in two weeks from now yes she immed with a story we go to the time of the was a sick person who was so [snorts] much pain and suffering he sue him and just he couldn't take it anymore and he told his family I can't take it anymore I want to end my life I want to take certain pills get it over with. [snorts] And they tried to convince him, but they didn't really know what to tell him. So they went to the and they say, "Why do we tell him? How to convince him to stay in this world?" Instead of answering them, the got up and walked towards this person to do the he comes in and as soon as he sees him, the patient says to him, "I can't anymore. I just can't bear it. It's so hard. the pain, the suffering, I just can't take it. I want to end my life. The told him, you should know what you're saying right now is an patient looks at him and says, with all due respect, I'm not familiar with that says to a patient in my condition, h you're not allowed to do this. Where is the in our para says heaven and earth my witnesses I place before you there are all kinds of ways to learn the there's 70 faces and there's four layers and so but we also have a rule and you also have to take the literal meaning of the words and the here says I give before you life and death and the says choose life. So when you choose not life, the opposite of life, you're going against the will. You're doing and the added one more thing. He says, I want to tell you something else. You know why you want to do this? Because in your mind, as soon as you do it, your will end. And I'm telling you, your will just begin. If you do this, it's only going to start where? Not a temporary existence in an eternal one. It's much worse over there. So you think you're going to end your only going to start over there. Choose life. We're skipping from this appears a few times in the in the place who chooses but he doesn't [clears throat] tell you where that is. So you all have to go to the place who chose but where is that place? How come you don't tell me? He says what do you mean it's not there? It's in this itself. It's in the word choose. But The word yud base in the Hebrew alphabet every letter has a reveal part and a concealed part. How is yud spelled? Yud vaval. So the concealed part of yud is vav and daled b. How is b spelled? B. So the concealed part is ud and taf. is spelled and tough is hidden part and is so the reveal part the place that I chose but where is it look at the at the inside of the word and those letters have the numerical value of 11 1130 130 and that's exactly the shilo which is the place that he chose for the Mishkan and the Bidil Gon and the places where the Mishkan and Bidesh stood and that's exactly where places chose. So it's right there in 1130 is exactly of those four words. It's very hard. It's very easy to do that when your mind is a super computer like the you don't see letters. What you see is numbers. So then it's very very easy in the to write to a person wants to write a he asks what's better. He took a few classes and he knows how to write but his writing is not as beautiful as the sifa. Should I hire a and have the most beautiful writing ever? And that's a Hindu mitzvah. Or I should do it by myself and when I do it, what do I gain? It's a greater mitzvah when you do it than when you're sending a can you. But obviously it's greater when you do it. So what's better a nicer looking mitzvah like has the most magnificent writing ever? Or I do the mitzvah. It's better. What do you say? Maybe they can recruit from because even though same thing especially if you do most people choose to do >> most people choose first of all because they know how to do it. Second of all if they do know how to do it their hand is shaking it's my son. And even if their hand is not shaking, maybe they're an expert. It's an of sak. There's no saka in writing a nonuda. He knows how to do it, but it's not going to be as beautiful. I'm not sure we can bring mil as a as a proof. >> Maybe not. >> One time, but it's used hundreds of thousands of times. >> But the mitzvah is the writing, not for reading from a beautiful seaf. There's a mitzvah to write a beautiful. Once the mitzvah, once the seat is kosher, you can use it high level kash. But there's the higher level kashus. You should choose the highest level kash. No, the mitzvah to write a beautiful is to write. You don't have a mitzvah called go find the most beautiful to read from. It's the mitzvah of writing. So how should the mitzvah be done? >> There's no difference reading from there or just kosher. We're afraid maybe it's just sometimes kosher, sometimes it's not. Maybe you miss one letter. We This is kosher. This is right here. >> But the surf is going to run it up here. We don't have a mitzvah called thou shall find the nicest to read from. It's the mitzvah of writing. I know it's a but that's the how the goes. So I'm writing. How should I do the mitzvah? >> I'm not buying one. I'm paying for the I'm doing it myself. That's my I should do myself or I'm most beautiful because he writes much nicer than me. Who's responsible for training yourself? >> Why yourself and why? >> Yourself. You see that when we do dedication the people who dedicated even just some they sort of scribble on the last lines of it and they don't support anyway but that doesn't seem to be the start. It seems like there's a still an Indian >> I'll tell you a secret but don't tell anyone and hopefully this is not recorded. The last where you invite all your family and friends to write the seafa. We don't need your family and friends to do it. The seph is already kosher because the already makes the frame of the letter and they just fill it in. It's already kosher. And the reason he does it because people are not professionals. They don't know what they're doing. It's going to be all over the place. So he makes them a frame. It's a little easier to fill in. And then he still has to go and fix it. But it's already caution with that except for the letter you. That's what you take the letter cuz when it's it's a circle thing it's a maybe it's a mim you don't know what it is say it's kosher is like a closed item maybe it's a maybe it's a I don't know what it is until you make it into a youth looking you otherwise maybe it's a small me I'm not sure what it is preferred dkaud >> who's responsible for checking it all once it's done the sofa or should he check it all >> you and just like If you're not prof if you're not a professional computer >> computer is an added bonus. Our forefathers didn't have a computer and it worked for them. It's an added bonus. It's a very very highly recommended. It's not a if our forefathers didn't have it in their were kosher. Obviously, it's not a but it's highly recommended. When you have that advantage today and you can't use it, why not? This is a suffic that many have. What's that? is a he it's a greater than when you do it and not has this suffix has this suffix and he says has a suffix they leave it with a question mark but says that if you have a nice writing it's not the most beautiful writing in the world but it's nice you should prefer writing yourself because of writes It's the same thing. However comes the and says give it to the because if you're going to spend time it takes a long time to write whenever is about a year at least a year. You're nullifying the time that you could have sit and learn your writes and you should learn can I get kum it's a waste of time. So if you have a surfer who's going to write it and it's not just going to write it like you. He's going to write nicer looking and you can sit and learn at the same time and it's not that no other person can do it. Yes, you can. We have a and he's even better than me. So he says it's sit and learn and have the right for you and more than that. It's only it's better to use the which will provide for you which is an advantage over a nice thing a good thing normally of this is not just the opinion of the this is they all say it's better to give it to the then you write it for a few reasons. According to the there is no mitzvah of it's only the went away. When did that happen? >> With the press printing press think 1475 that's when this mitzvah went away because today nobody takes a and sits and learns from it. When was the last time you took a I'm going to learnish a little. You take a humish printed by whoever they want to say. They're not paying me to say their name. But whoever company that you prefer. You take that's how we learn today. Nobody uses only today. So according to that it's only and we should compare it to what the says in second day in do you need taking the four meaning a few weeks you should own it like in the first day of second day do you need to own the four species like you need on the first day you don't need But you still need you still need. Why? Because is the item itself. The fact that I'm the owner or you're the owner is an external thing to it. It's not the item itself. When I'm writing in the most beautiful way possible using the that's the that's the item itself that I'm beautifying. The fact that I'm using myself independent thing to the item itself. And therefore he says we should prefer using the over writing it myself or based on what the writes in when you have a hired that does the for you when you hire the we don't say if you pay him it's just like you're doing it. Why? Because says when you're paying it's like it's very hard to take that hand put it in your pocket and TAKE OUT THE GIVE HIM THE MONEY. IT'S VERY HARD. It's very hard. IT'S AS IF YOU'RE TOILING IN THE MITZVAH ITSELF. So we don't say I think you're going to have to pay. You're going to have to pay a lot. It's like as if you're doing it. So there's no advantage of but there's still the advantage. that is doing it much nicer than you. And another great reason why do we normally say better that I should do it than my because when I send my it's a disgrace to the mitzvah. I don't have time for the mitzvah. I want to be says I have TO DO IT. FINE, I'LL DO IT. I USE somebody else to do it. Here the only reason I'm using a is to beautify the mitzvah. I don't want to disgrace the mitzvah. I want to do in the most beautiful way which I can't because of all these reasons we should prefer the over writing it ourselves. If the surfer writes it in a nicer way >> counts also if the guy is a multi-billionaire who doesn't care about it depends on the status of the person. >> I tell you a lot of secrets today before I told you tell you another one even for rich people it's very very hard to take money out of the pocket. I know some of them personally [laughter] say he has 100 How many do you want? 200. And if he has 200, >> he wants 400. And person doesn't leave this world. Oh yeah. Half. He has 5 billion. It's half of what I wanted. That's the nature of the beast. >> So when is there ever? >> Do me a favor. I don't have time to check. Can you do it for me? I'm not paying you. >> That's a discretion of learning during that time. I can always I'm in a different country and I can't go. I'm attending to a sick person. I can't go do a mitzvah. You do it for me. I still have to do the mitzvah candles. I'm out of the house. I send the sh I can't be there right now, but I still have to do it. So there are many many mitzvah that I can use a when I can't do it and it still counts for me. If I can and I sit in the house and I say, "Do me a favor. You go outside and light the candles. I'm doing something else." Yeah. I have to do it no matter what. whether myself all kinds of different types of mitzvah but when you can do it you should choose to do it yourself and we don't say we learn but we're learning to because you're learning in order to fulfill what it says in the >> better it's equal right it's equal >> it's better what >> if you do the same but you can learn instead >> that's a good because this is not a five minute mitzvah this is a mitzvah that tells you about a year >> right >> but then will apply because there's no advantage to using the other than but itself says write a unless you're going with the dang and only that but according to the other opinions that we still have the mitzvah today you should prefer that you yourself should write it and especially if you're writing in a nicer way then for sure you should prefer it but if it's such a big mitzvah and it is a big mitzvah Why is it different than any other mitzvah that you say? You sit in the suka, you say a mitzvah, you say. Yeah. Any other mitzvah that you do? You say, "Yeah, why don't you say or any other formulation that you like?" What do I mean? Like why is there no when writes? Did you ever hear a surf writing saying a braha? No. >> Some reasons why not they have said between time it and the time. >> So say the and start. I can't write for a year straight because I'm just a human being. I have to stop. Fine. But there's no between the beginning of the mitzvah. Tell me what do you do init? You serve the at night. You go to sleep and you continue the process. And what's the formulation of the which is going to take place tomorrow? You say and you don't care about the sick but here you care. Why? Because it's a year only six answers in the morning. >> I one of the six the says we are not experts. There's many missing letters. We know how to write seat is kosher but we're not bucky in what really is supposed to be and malle and therefore it could be maybe maybe retractively came out that was still some don't say I if that's the case who gave you permission to say when you it's the same that you're afraid to say when you're writing it but you're not afraid to say when you give so according to the it's not a question because the maintains that you can actually read from no problem. So you say but according to the other opinions unlike the that you cannot say that you cannot read from a which is pos why are you saying the answer is instituted that when you do this called you say but they didn't institute for that reason the for writing that's services or the says since the main reason you're writing a is in order to learn from the toy you say every single morning covers the because that's the reason you wrote the or similarly since the main part of is to learn from so you can't say when you're beginning to write because any mitzvah that finishing is not now writing is not the main part the main part is learning maybe you don't say for this type of mitzvah or Mahamik. He says, "Since you need Haga after Haga, I finished the I finished writing. Do you know if it's or not? I'm going to go through it. Check it. I'm going to check it again. Maybe I'm going to give it to the computer." Good idea. But I can't really say because who knows? Who knows if I did a good job or not? Maybe they can't say or similar to what you wanted to say. Similar since it takes about a year, not because of it takes a year. Who knows what's going to happen? Somebody just called me recently. He had a sh because he hired a to do it. He say about a year. It's three and a half years. He still is not done. Is to continue had a problem became sick in the middle. Whatever it is have to continue with him. Can he go? It's a monetary sh. So it happens many times. The starts and something happens and he can't. You give it from one serv to another surf. You get stopped. You run out of money. It takes a year. could be many many reasons why you'll have to stop and you'll never complete it. So it comes out you said 10 years ago it was a where's the he still didn't show me the or since the can't say the because this is a that let's say he hired you and at one point he calls you sorry I don't have any more money to continue we have to stop you're dependent on him so you can't say the owner can't say the because he's not the one writing so even though sometimes the owner himself writes But normally it's not the the owner. Normally it's the never instituted a for writing. Since we're on the topic of riddle of the day, can it be that there's something that we have in our moenu didn't write? Moshe gave us a and we copy it word for word, letter for letter. Can it be that there's something in the mosha didn't have and we add Who wrote him? If we'll go with the opinion that Moshe himself wrote he's crying and he's writing it. You don't have an answer. So I need something which is not by the way it appears 10 times in the 10 times. We add something that Musha did not. How can it be? >> Dots. >> Ah who says that? He said the dots appearing in our one it's one of the 10 above those words there are dots who added them a little before says added those dots and if will come and say excuse me what you add to as I will answer but I didn't erase anything so what do you care that's what says now what does it mean those dots above those words the p says the revealed ones on top of all kinds of dots what are they trying to tell RaNer Zatal told the story came into him and he says he was right after this m so he told him you know just now some rashi yesa came into me they're telling me about a certain buck who is going downhill big time and they want to throw him out of yeshiva so says I told them don't throw him out if you see that he starts changing externally. The shirt changes colors and the jacket is no longer the hair. If you see that, send him to me. But until then, don't do anything. So really wanted to throw him out, but they listened to they waited. They waited. They waited. And as soon as all those things started happening, they sent him to Raosna. The bah comes in. shakes his hand, holds his hand and he starts asking him, "Tommy, would you like to have a son like me?" Starts laughing. It's like some kind of a joke. Is the rabbi aware of where I'm holding now? Says, "Yeah, I'm asking you a question. One day you're going to get married. Will you want to have a son like me? Bahu says yes. The says to him, I want to tell you something which I received as a from who received from all the way back. It says in our revealed one the concealed ones that's the revealed ones to us future generations. What does that mean? says one of the tactics of the is that when a person starts behaving in the wrong way comes to him and says look at you you're such a hypocrite you go around looking such a look at YOUR GARMENT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE a hypocrite and you should know being a hypocrite is a major sin you should change your clothing to match your behavior it's only Yet disguises himself as a and says to him, "What are you doing? It's an a to be walking like this and to be involved IN WHAT YOU'RE INVOLVED IN. IT'S A MAJOR. CHANGE YOUR CLOTHING." Why is doing it? Because knows that as soon as you change your exteriority, very very small chance you'll ever come back. Now you just told me one day when you get married you will have you will want to have a son like me. That's what this is saying. This is dealing with the sins of and the is saying those things are concealed ONLY YOU KNOW KEEP IT like that. Keep it between you AND the concealed ONE BETWEEN YOU AND you know why says the puk? Because if you turn it into an you turn into reveal ones and everybody should know that's going to affect it's going to affect future generations because you're probably never going to come back and your kids and future generations will suffer as a result. That's those dots on top of the words are alluding that there's something else hidden in here. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF until you do chuva because one day you will do chuva. It will be much easier when you didn't change your exteriority. But when you change your exteriority, there's very very little chance you're going to come back and that's going to affect future generations and that will be ashamed. And this listen to me and many listen to me. When I told him this from help them different than just saying >> the is telling you something else other than the brings in the med there's something else hidden here. Keep it to yourself. One question if someone writes on Torah can add things to those for EXAMPLE but if your name is you probably can >> if I should write a you going back to what we said before >> what should I choose hiring a sifer or I should write self. So if there's a mitzvah to beautify the fit in as well and that's because it fit in, you'll never see. You'll write it once, you'll stoup it in, you'll close it, and you don't even have to check it. If there's no reason to suspect something happened to it, you never have to check it. And yet there's a mitzvah to beautify this down. I think in there's a bouva who says okay fine but I'm only willing to take one thing on myself. You tell me I can't do both. Maybe one day fine. Right now I'm willing to do one. You tell me what to choose. Rabbi, >> this is the >> sir. So to you, you think we would have a if so keep what? >> No, we finished with him. Finish. We're moving to according to they'll put it inside. It's not an problem. They're concealing it anyways. Put it inside. Right. So it's not a sh of this. It's a sh of levels of obligations. And how do we look at it? And what does he do? You're saying [clears throat] it comes from the where the keeper come from. Where the keeper coming from what you prefer. Everybody agrees. No. Let's hear why we don't agree. >> YOU DON'T HAVE A GIFT. THIS IS FROM THE TORY. Unless you're wearing a four corner garment, it stems the mitzvah comes originally from the Torah. But you technically speaking, you can go your whole life without wearing it. It is not recommended. The Malik reveals to that in a time of wrath of they punish even for nullifying a positive mitzvah. Why didn't you cover this mitzvah? It cost a few. And he didn't. What's wrong with you? But technically speaking, you can go without it. But was it the no is the Rabanon? No. So what is it? It's not even that >> so you want to prefer am over something which stems from which right now you're technically speaking really say again can you say can you can you mention's name when your head is uncovered big. So you have a technical problem which you want to get rid of by putting that on. But why do you go [laughter] when you can stop at the says not base the beginning says DON'T WALK FORM WHERE your head is uncovered comes and says the truth is there is no there is no dind called thou shalt wear a keepa. It's only back then time of the only would cover their head. It's only says but it's the type OFIDUS THAT EVERYONE should conduct himself with writes the same thing writes the same thing that you should better you better keep to yourself that everybody should be involved with. So technically speaking you can live your whole life without wearing one even though it comes from the let's see further over there in B say the starts by saying even though the told you it's or don't walk more than four without it says even less than fourus not even to walk less than four without a and he brings him the Even when you're sleeping at night, keep your keep on. And some say that even walking more than four hours with is only however the already writes and this is the bisha quoting the taz already writes in that in our time it's an isu into a language to walk uncovered even when you're sitting at home and writes the same in the says that you have to educating your little kids to wear a because it brings. So today the sh went to and says today somebody walks without a keepa he basically is declaring I have nothing to do with that group of in the reverse when one wears a every single second I'm associated with these people it's a you walk so and the says to walk without a while since is technically speaking if you don't have a fork you don't have to Fair said prefer the keep up over the titties. You did so good on the previous riddle when you when you sleep at night. You should still have it on >> says the in the name of the to do that. [clears throat] Yes, >> you should do it if you're a king and they give you a chance to wear a crown. It's fine. It's a crown. You know, you know the guy also go to sleep. He goes to sleep. He wears pajama just like you. So what's the difference between [clears throat] you and him when you're sleeping? I'm still connected to I have my crown on connecting me to it brings whether you understand it or not. Whether you're sleeping or not somehow in some way it gives us. So why would you want to deny that from yourself? Is it no language of the let's put it this way. Nobody upstairs is going to be upset with you if you sleep with it. And if it falls in the middle of the night, no big deal. You get up in the morning, you can pick it up. Or if you got up in the middle of the night, well, keep one next to your pillow. If you found that one fell, put the other. >> Make sure it's very big. It's not going to fall. >> We're starting. The guy's willing to take one thing upon himself and he's telling you what to decide. He's giving you the option between the two. There's another Yid who says I belong to I have reverence. I'm not embarrassed to be from those from that group of I hope he's not violating Shabas in the middle while he's wearing it. I hope not. He's on his way. But >> why do you say it's a problem? Why you say it's a problem making girls get married? Because there's a whether one can mention's name and say when his head is uncovered a girl makes a head. >> We're not talking about girls talking about boys. >> The prophet is the second thing is name. Not the same. Not the same thing. Man's obligation is different than a woman's. >> How often do you wear a hat? >> When when they go in Davin because told you told you you have to wear a hat because that's the way to walk in front of distinguished individual. You did so good at previous riddle. You did. You got some points. I forget who it was. Soon as you start saying instead of right if you were confused I'm not sure if I said it or not you have to repeat you have to repeat can you say 90 times outside to become used to it like you say can you say it 90 times no says you can't it's a technical problem because in order to say you have to Say you can't say name. I was saying it with Hashem's name. So when you come to Din, you're going to say it also because you're so used to it 90 times. You say's name. It doesn't work. Says no good. Good. So how could it be that two days into third day, fifth day, whatever you want. The guy finished one. Did I say or not? I'm not sure I said it. He doesn't have to repeat. We just said you can't train yourself. And would you say that if you forgot, if you're not sure if you said or not, you have to repeat. And my question is, how is it possible that a person is not sure and he does not have to repeat? When does that happen? >> If someone makes a marker or no marks or something, >> no mark doesn't have a sinner. >> He finish one with his eyes closed. Now marks is not going to help him. Did I say or not? No, not true. Normally we said we have to repeat. You don't have to repeat. When does this happen? You have a new sitter. I don't have that sitter. In the middle of a regular weekday, you finished regular weekday. You don't have to repeat. When you're not sure, you don't have to repeat. >> There's a minute like that. Say the whole country. >> You say a regular weekday as you said this morning. A regular. And then you wonder, did I say? So, normally we say repeat. You don't have to repeat. >> What's that? >> Why don't you have to repeat? >> That's my riddle. Who is this person that doesn't have to repeat? Normally we say you have to. Who is this person? >> A cousin. A regular guy sitting in the back. He doesn't doesn't have voice. He was never a cousin. Doesn't know how to be a cousin. >> The answer is he's a [laughter] that converted 3 days ago, a week and a half ago. Normally we say in order to uproot what you're used to, you need 30 days or 90 times. That's why we wanted to say, whatever it is, you want to train yourself 90 times or 30 days. This guy is only used to ding for a week and a half. He doesn't have what to uproot. So, there's no reason to say, "Oh, you're so used to it. You probably said he probably is not used to anything and he's looking at the to make sure he says it right cuz he doesn't know what he's saying. Unless you will say maybe to uproot something you need to have established 30 days and then you come and uproot it with 30 new days or 90 times but maybe in order to establish something new and this is guy is coming with a clean slate. starting maybe you don't need to but it's not that he didn't establish his saying and therefore he does not have to repeat based on that very interesting a guy who was sure that he's Jewish we spoke about a person like this last week I think he's been for 45 years then he realizes something came up you're not really Jewish so he quickly went and he converted 2 days before. Now, how do we look at him? The miter says he he's been saying for a long time. He definitely established but since he's a new entity, it's not just a saying of it's says if two babies died in the family as a result of do we circumcise the third kid? No, we don't. But if it happened in aisha and a guy converts, we will convert. WE WILL CIRCUMCISE HIM. WHY? It's dangerous. It's not dangerous. It's a different entity. He's changed. He's like a new is a new entity is so the fact that you've been saying the entire year, but now you converted. You were a go. Now we realize you were a go. You converted. So it's just like the guy from before. He just converted a week before. IT CHANGES YOUR MATERIALS. I'M GOING TO FORGET. YES. WELL, IT'S not it it doesn't entail danger to circumcise me when you see MY TWO BROTHERS DIED. NO, you're anointed. So to the discuss a woman that converts. She always used to see on the 14th of the month always. Does she has to worry? Does she have to worry about the 14th of the month next month when she becomes Jewish? is many maintain among them the you don't have to worry about it why has changed seeing is dependent on the time that the bin is in other words other based on our Jewish calendar when she was not Jewish she had a different entity says until now the dum that she saw the blood she saw is not so he doesn't basically want to say that it's because she has converted just it wasn't so now she cries she starts from a clean slate but others maintain that her whole BEING IS CHANGED IT'S a new person you have to worry about what happened until now based on that guy who just converted even though he's been for a long long long time he is starting to and it's since he hasn't been saying it as a Jew for 30 days he won't have to repeat >> it's cute to say but >> very But this food isn't going to change either. >> Who told you? And maybe he's so trained to eat it. It doesn't have to change. Maybe it's tasty. Maybe he's used to eating it, so he's going to continue eating it. It not everything about him has to change, but it could be something changed. And the fact that we're saying you establish something by 30 days, maybe that changes. You're saying it's cute. But says you don't have to worry about seeing on a specific day that you've been seeing for the last 40 years. Your body has changed now. So much so says and not in twice it says in the truth and that carries a lot of weight. Don't rely on medical research done only on going. You have a study you're a doctor you're analyzing it. If it was only done on goes bodies don't take that into consideration when trying to apply it to Jewish bodies. because stood in they have changed the go stay the same from the time of so he says if it's a combined and Jews what only goim has nothing to do with you I'm not saying to take it literally and that's how we pass it but this so you're saying it's cute is very serious about it today this year we're going to have a very very special opportunity that we must must take advantage of. Assilah and Kana, when did Hana go and choose to go davin for having kids? When was it? She d in the afternoon. Go D in your Why are you traveling to D over there by yourself? go down in the says I think that year fell on Shabas and sinceabis the time of IS SUCH A PROPITIOUS TIME FOR TO BE ACCEPTED HE PREFER WAITING WITH THAT POWERFUL FOR THE TIME of it's an it's a very very opportune time of this we have the opportunity she waited for that falls on a shab. We should do the same. You can still have it before and after. But learn from learn from and at that time based on what he's saying. It's not limited to having kids. It's limited. It's not limited to anything. It's whatever it is that you want. It's a very very very auspicious time for your to be heard and accepted. And we said already in previous years that yes onash unlike what says today we pass from the time of back to the and everything else that you are allowed to ask personal requests on even when falls on >> yeah but you have and you'reing by yourself that's when say never rejects that we d by yourself it's dangerous they come and scrutinize you who are you to come oneon one who are you doesn't look at you so you should always prefer having coming oneonone but since it's such a special time she said I think I want to take advantage of that opportunity which we will have this year we all know this happens I think to me happened many times you sit in front of the computer and you're writing And you're writing and you're writing and you're writing ah erasing and writing erasing and writing after a few hours. Ah give a exactly the way you wanted and accidentally you press on something on the keyboard or something falls on it and the whole thing disappears. How frustrating is never happened to you? Happened to you how frustrating it is. But there is a solution. What is that solution called? Control Z. You familiar with this in word document? Ctrl +- Z not just in in word document. Control- Z is is a universal undo command. It reverses your most recent action on the computer. Get all you get everything back. And how would we want to have a control Z in life? THAT THING I SAID back too late, buddy. That thing that I did said, no, I just WANT TO CONTROL Z. BRING IT RIGHT BACK. YOU CAN'T. Why is there no control Z in life? Undo. Undo. Command. Undo it. It's too late. You did it already. Is there a control C control Z in life? The answer is there is didn't want it to be so accessible. So you're not walking around with one of the buttons on your hand upr. But it does exist. True. >> It's a says You do something and you regret immediately his sin is erased. That's control. All he need is regret says the he calls regretting that's the right way. It's the path the straight path regarding doing chuva. And he says because somebody who sinned and regrets it, it's as if he never sinned and one cannot do cha without regretting. You can bang in your chest really really hard. So hard that your hand comes out from the back. You can fast. You can say three times from beginning to end and from end to beginning but if you don't regret it just doesn't work. And so too he writes regarding your will not be accepted unless you regret. He says, "Why?" He says, "The person is the thief." And the king catches him. So he goes to the king, says, "I'M SO SORRY. I'M SO SORRY." And the king lets him go. And he goes back and continues stealing. Why would the king forgive him? It just doesn't work. So as long as you don't regret your is not accepted. And therefore, we found the control Z in life. It's called regret. When you regret immediately the language of the law immediately his sin is erased. So we got to use this very accessible button called control Z called regretting Shilah. There's a guy who wants to blow the listen to this. You know where he's standing right outside the border of right outside. His friend is standing right inside the he wants to blow the and his friend his friend wants to hear the sound of the and be with those blowings of the can the guy who is outside bey they're very close they're going to hear each other you're saying no why not what's the problem >> oh you're saying no >> you wouldn't ask >> correct I wouldn't ask if there wouldn't a problem but I'm not saying the answer what is the problem is there a problem the problem is the raan the problem is the rashi the problem is bring from carries more weight in the par says the main reason the only reason really that you do mitzvah outside the land of is to remember how to perform them when you come back there's no to make to do mitz when you're in you should but the reason they told you to do so is only to practice this. So when you come to you know what to do otherwise you're starting from zero. You don't know what to do. SO DO ALL THE MITZVAH but it's not the same level of so normally we say is not a person who's cannot be somebody who is when you're in a different level of the one who's a lesser cannot be a person who is on a higher level. So if the whole reason that a person in the because don't forget as the says brings him so you'll remember how to do it when it's not how can he be the person brings it twice in the says the same and they both basically are bringing the ra is quoting the border of the sea. >> What's that? >> I said the border of whatever you want to call wherever that is, we'll figure it out. When you're past that and you're in technically speaking, can you be standing right in front? Run inside and I can't hear you. We build a big sh that's not going to work under says the air of the has so that doesn't work there. No sh just outside. But I can hear the chauffeur can be or not. >> But this is a practical application today like >> fine. So we'll figure out where the border is. Once we establish where that border is then my starts >> I can see him and I can hear him but his level of obligation is different. If he's a minor can he be more to me? No. Why? because his level of obligation is lesser than mine. So I'm saying based on this his obligation is less. So how how can it be more to me? Can it be more to me? >> His obligationless >> isn't it? >> Explain obligated to come to >> but he's not there yet. >> He should walk across the border and then you >> he doesn't have a visa doesn't have a passport. very but right now he's going to come in and live here forever and never leave but right now he's outside a big and he can't cross it he can't >> so >> what's that >> that's what I'm asking it sounds it sounds like is different the whole reason he's doing it is only not to forget because that's not where you need to perform it you need to perform it in >> that's what the saying Is it it stems from but in order that you won't forget as if like a why is a kid trained to do things so you when you be older you'll know how to do it there's not really from the and yet he is but it's a lesser type of so he can't be to you so will this same idea apply to this people in this room have people have some problems if they're filled or written in broken or something because then we're things are rich You are trying to prove your business. >> You're asking a question on top of my question. First, let's ask answer my question. >> You want to prove you're Jewish? I know you're Jewish. >> He said that if someone hears a chauffeur and you want to close your mind, >> he hasn't. He's standing right in front of him. HE SAYS, "BLOW THE TRUTH OF ME." HE SAYS, "I'M not sure I can. I saw the I'm a lesser. How can I be? No, no, no, no. I can't. He wants to be and he wants to be him." The question is is why the katan who wants to blow to you, it's not doesn't work. Even though he has all the kavalis in the world, it's not going to work because his level of negation is less than you. It works. If they don't do the mitzvah that they're obligated to do, whatever it is, they're both going to be punished. You're right that the whole reason that is saying to do mitzvah outside is only to remember when you come into land. But I think we can understand and based on the and he says in every mitzvah there are two parts. There's the reason for the mitzvah and there's also a command thou shalt do the mitzvah. THE REASON FOR THE doesn't apply in it does all the wants you perform the reason doesn't apply but the the command go and do this and this and that blow the whatever it is still applies. So the level of is the for both of them just one part of the mitzvah doesn't apply but it doesn't take away the level of so is the same it's just that apparently it's not going to do the same make the same noise in I don't know exactly how it works but explains there's two parts to every so one part is not but the is the same the level of is the same and therefore he can be the one in and the one can be from Okay. Now, I want to tell you a story. A real real story. A true story that never happened. Cuz you know all the stories that make up a real wven wanted to look for apartment. He has five kids and the apartment that he was in is too small. He's looking for an apartment. He finds Galdic. Four bedrooms, second floor, air, the right direction, everything perfect. rent $2,000. He goes to the owner. He wants to sign the contract. So he says, "Okay, fine. But I want you to pay me ahead of time for the whole year." But that's the in monetary laws. That's what happens. Some people demand 3 months ahead of time, 6 months. He wants the whole year. Fine. No choice. He gives him all the money and they sign a contract. In the contract, it says very clearly, the renter commits himself to give back the apartment at the end of the lease exactly as is. Beautiful, no damages, and he has to deposit $10,000 security because if there is any damage, this money is going to be used to fix up the place. He signs it. He moves into the apartment. He enjoys himself and now he's getting close to the end of the lease. So he goes back to the owner. I'd like to extend and I'd like to stay here another year. Can we sign a contract for another year? And the guy says yes. Two conditions. I want you to pay me ahead of time in full for the whole year and I want to come check what the apartment looked like. You didn't damage it. And the rent says, "Oi via this guy has five kids." Very uh how should we say um >> lively kids. That's the understatement of the year because in Pes he bought for a toolbox and they WANTED TO EXPERIMENT HOW TO BOX WORKS AND NO they just wanted to improve the place. So they went to the sheetrock to the wall and they went to the doorposts and the closet and they experimented in IMPROVING THE PLACE. They have a lot a lot of nails and they make sure that the walls look more like a civ than a wall. Ditches all over that. The place looks like mamish. He doesn't know what to do. The guy is coming in 5 days to check out the place. So he quickly calls the painter and he says, "Painter, please, please, please come fast." AND IT MAKES A PLACE. IF I'M COMING, COMING. The painter comes and he looks around and he looks and he's astonished. He said, "Why did you call a painter? You need a construction company. I won't be able to do it." AND HE SAYS, "I ONLY HAVE 5 DAYS. BRING ANYONE YOU WANT. BRING TWO CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES. THE GUY'S COMING IN 5 DAYS. THIS PLACE HAS TO BE FIXED UP 100%." So the painter brings a lot of people and he works on morning to night and they they paint the place and they fix it up and she whatever you want the place looks sparkling shiny. After 5 days the owner comes in and he inspects the place and he looks and he says, "Wow, you keep this place better than I do. You're amazing. Of course, we're going to continue your rent. You know what? YOU'RE SUCH A GUY, A GOOD GUY. Take your $50 off your B. What would happen if the owner would come and the place would be like it was 5 days ago? Says, I don't know if he would throw me out the window, but he would definitely throw me out of the apartment. Who wants a rental like this that destroys a place? says the after created he took him for a little walk look at isn't this beautiful look at this tree look at this tree look at everything that I created isn't this beautiful make sure you don't ruin this place which means this world is a's apartment in every allows us to sign a contract for one year and when comes we say we would like to extend we would like to stay here for another year and the owner says fine two conditions I want you to pay me in full and I want to inspect I want to see what you did to my apartment and is coming in a week for the inspection so somehow and I'm talking to myself out loud I don't know how but 3 weeks out of the month of they gave 30 days before the owner comes and somehow 3 WEEKS ALREADY WENT BY. I DON'T KNOW how and there's only 7 days before the king comes to inspect his apartment and that apartment is our nama. So many holes, so many nails, the drill and the hammer. We experimented. We just wanted to see what happens. So what do we do when the owner comes? And that's what the renter from before did. The first thing you do is you have a stack of bills ready. When the owner comes and he sees a stack of bills, it calms him down a little to rely ON PROMISES. I'LL PAY YOU LATER. WHEN HE SEES THOSE BILLS IN front of you and that's those are the stack of bills that this owner is interested in. But you also have to clean up the place all the damages. How do we do that? There's only one week tell us something puts everything on the scale right side on the left side the opposite. So you do that's mitzvah. You gain a lot of mitzvah. That's a but how do you how do you fix everything on the left side only from command them you know there's going to be a in 14 days and instead of saying that accepted it on themselves the says they did ask the medu another 14 days from now it's going to take place so you can't tell me that now they already did it and rash brings in on the pul that when you accept in yourself something right now it is counted as if you did it which means you decide every month I'm going to give 100 shekels to sodaka so you give one now only 100 shekels but's account it is counted as if you already gave the next 11 months or 12 months because once you accept something on yourself and it's counted as if you did it now that plugs one hole. What if he said to you every single morning after two every single day after two hours to not so much but multiply that by 365 days that you just committed to and guess what imagine you say I'm taking upon myself one more hour of learning now let's see what happens famously known did a little calculation. He checked and he saw that in one minute you can say 200 minutes. 200 words and every word is talag. Every word has the value corresponding to all mitzvah. So every word you're saying is 613 mitzvah. 613 mitzvah times 60 seconds in a minute time 60 minutes in an hour. So in 1 hour 12,000 new MITZVAH IN ONE DAY OF 1 HOUR multiply that by 365 days that you just committed to you just added 2,684,000 I'm sorry 2 bill684,9440,000 mitzvah that's just one cabala of one hour but it counts as if you did it RIGHT NOW EVEN YOU didn't because when you accept something on yourself says if you did and that changes and tilts the scales in our favor. So there's not a lot of time and the construction company has to work really really hard but we see that it's possible. We said before there's a control Z and we said now that there is another way to do it and that is accepting on ourselves good cababalos and it counts immediately as if we already did. You know they say about Bill Gates, he was one interviewed and the interviewer says to him, "What is the secret to your success?" Bill Gates takes out his checkbook, takes one check and gives it to the interviewer. And he says, "You can write any amount that you want." And the interviewer says, "It's okay. Thank you very much." And he gives it back to him. And Bill Gates says to him, "That's my secret to my success. I never gave up opportunities when I saw them. when I when they represented theelves, you just gave up the opportunity to become the richest interviewer in the world. But for whatever reason, I don't know, reasons are reserved for with you, you decided not to. You gave up on an opportunity. I didn't. When I saw the opportunity, I jumped at it. So the interviewer says, um, can we do that one more time? And Gate says to him, not every opportunity comes around twice. You have the opportunity to do chuva to jump at wait. IT'S ALREADY 3 WEEKS OR SOMEHOW [screaming] get to it to seize the moment. Seize the opportunity not to delay. >> What's that? >> Some say that's the reason that we say in plural. Everything is in plural. Au katanu what's katanu kati I said could be from previous gilgulim I sinned and therefore I say I'm sorry for whoever I was in previous round very soon we're going to have elections and we have to make sure that our doesn't turn into a an election campaign what happens before an election campaign at the campaign Every politician promises you, I'm going to do this. I'm going to give you this. I'm going to change this. Your life will never be the same. Why? Because he wants to make sure that he goes through that crucial day right after the elections. They asked him, "But you promised." True, I promised, but I never promised to keep my promises. And we have to make sure that yes we want to somehow go through that crucial day with all kinds of promises but to make that into a election campaign. How I think it'll be easier if we remember one line from the zoresh says the following. I'll say it in Aramaic and then translate to English. If people would only know, we would roar like lions to chase after him. Again, if people would only know the love has for us, we would roar like lions to chase. Again, next week there's no in two weeks. There will be a good
