Fine. So, shalom everybody. Rashan is coming soon. Yin can't escape it. Make the most of it. It's a day to grow. It's a day not just to be judged but to coronate Hashem. Make a new decision that Hashem should be our king. And with everything that we've been through this past year as a nation, as a city, as a Tibu, we had a very difficult year. Of course, there were many good things. In general, our nation experienced a lot of uh you know, unpleasant things and we all hope the next year will be better and it's only up to us. I'd like to start by uh reading a piece of garra from the gummor. And yes, this year is about. Before we talk about the mainly the mus the mus of shah and the three main components and I'd like to read one line from the garra and that line will hopefully guide us through this journey through the so towards the bottom of the page says says, "Hashem asks us for our own favor, for our own good, that we should say in front of him." Yeah. And that represented express Hashem's ruling the world, being a melon, which we're going to discuss later. What is being remembered? It's a day. Hashem remembers the world. Just a short note, Hashem never forgets. Obviously, Hashem brings his memory to life. Just I just thought of it in English. In Hebrew, it's actually two different words and but uh in English it's actually quite interesting. It's the same word. When you say I remember something, what does it mean? In English, it can mean many things. And sometimes these things are actually opposites and it's to do with rash. When you say, oh, you sit down and you relax. I remember you know the first time I went to I don't know the kids are starting now kital first time you remember my first day in school many years ago I remember visiting a big rabbi I remember some exciting I remember reminiscing you know nostalgia and then oops I remember [clears throat] I remember what I have an appointment at the doctor right now right I just remembered what does it mean something urgent something that needs action you stop daydreaming about your day 40 years ago oh No, the doctor's closing his clinic. I got to run. I just remembered something. So remembering also means both the past and remembering in a way that that actually jolts us into action. And remembers everything. He always remembers everything. But remembers meaning he activates his memory. Yeah. He puts it on the main screen. He takes it from one of the folders, puts it on the main screen with big flash red letters. Remember now the remembrance actually becomes very real and very active. That's why rashash is the first day of the year not the last day of the year. Rashash should should have been as yin the last day of the year. Usually you judge you summarize and you decide was it a good year or bad year at the end of the year. Rashashan is the first day of the year because that's a day when Hashem restarts the world, recreates the world and brings all the past memories into to boot up the computer to actually get things going again, restart the whole program and remember in an active way in a way that brings the world into new action and new existence. So on Hashem gives us a very good advice to say the laborates. So you should make me yeah make me your king with all the dead entails remind me the good stuff on what do we do? One of the many many many reasons we blow the we want to remind Hashem remember the good old days. We want past memories to activate good current active memories. Remember the good old days. Remember our t remember of Roman. Oh, they were remember them and that would give us a good year. Here comes the line which I wanted two words which are interesting. End of line. End of line. end of mera meaning how how do you bring the toe through the this is interesting yeah it doesn't say I would have said or these are three components right these are three ingredients apparently not apparently chauffar is the way to get the the in the Quran to hashem and it doesn't say what doesn't even give you details it talks later about why because of it and why do you do it twice to mix to confuse the but these two words as much as I always learned about I never really these words as much as I learned about I never really really got those two words like how do you get the [clears throat] up there how do you activate that line of through the chafar is a vehicle The is a it's a tool to get the yeah to Hashem. What does that mean? Okay. So, let's now start with a gem that I found. I told you about it last week. I found a real gem. You know it's ama original uh um not manuscript original safer of the ramal less known note or and the ramal writes in the safer yeah it's called yeah the the article of wisdom and he explains in short and then he goes He says one line about he says I'm reading word for word again stands in this day as a king over his world. This is what we have to be strong in. We have to be be strengthen oursel ourselves in the knowledge that he is a All our goodness and all our power, all our strength is what? The fact that we realize that Hashem is the mel. Okay. What does it mean? I assume it means to say that the tough kid of a person in the world is to make Hashem. We are born into a dark ugly world. The world is wonderful, but the world is dark and ugly. When it comes to it's all hidden. You know what the world is called? Amam. What's am hidden? The whole world is just a mask. It's all hiding. The face of Hashem hides quite constantly. It's hidden from us. And we have to from within the darkness to say to Hashem, you are the melik. Which means in very very simple level the choices we make should be driven by what Hashem wants, not by what the yet wants. Why is that important rash? Because in Rash, yeah, that's the day Hashem is recreating the world. Hashem is becoming Melik again. And we want to show him that above everything, we're loyal to him more than anything else. I think this explains one reason why it's cuz blowing the chauffar is a way to make why one of the many many reasons why we blow the chafar and rash is because when they used to coronate kings maybe the British people here can help me with that I don't know they do today but uh the mal we have today are not know what they used to be um not at all I don't think but basically they blow trumpets And he used to blow a horn when they make somebody a melik. It's a very royal, very royal and very um festive kind of event. Yeah. Very heavy and very serious and very regal. And they would blow a chauffear. They would blow a trumpet also. Would you blow the chauffear to show I'm now officially making a shame and I'm deciding that this year what he wants is going to be above any other decision we make. That's the definition I think of. A person is of whichever call it whichever way you want in a political map but practically speaking the person who puts Hashem above everything else that's a real person and it has many many ramifications throughout our life the way we talk the way we think what are we aspiring to what we want our children to be Hashem comes first hem is above everything whatever Hashem wants is the only thing we want very not not a very simple level to get to but we all aim towards that and that's what we tell. Secondly says the second line from the says what besides the fact that is a day of judgment we have to awaken ourselves in front of him. We have to we have to wake up. So our memory the memory that he has in his mind from about us is the zikuron is a good zikuron should remember us in a good way by us awakening towards him. I want to talk about one word you know Ram Khal he's not a rishon but ramkhal is a very early and very very important one of the most important thinkers and writers of our nation and look at how the ramal writes over here listen to the words to the insinuations to the inferences of the dukeim says you hear that in other words first of all is and besides as a secondary thing it's which is interesting right we think of the immediate saying we're scared stiff. It's yin. What's going to be next year? How will hem judge me? Says, "No, first of all, is a mel and besides it's also it's also the day of judgment." Interesting how he's like making it I wouldn't say secondary maybe it's like as a result of that. In other words, because Hashem is melik, therefore he judges us. Because Hashem is so what if he's a meal? Because of that, he's giving us the dean. Why? What does malhoot have to do with din? We can say simply melik is a person who you know he judges people. Not today obviously but in older in older in ancient cultures that's what it used to be even by usma would judge right a king is one of judges used to make very strong decisions judgments but I think there's more to it again as I said before the reason why is the first day of the year is because Hashem is now basically bestowing all the good into this world. Hashem is now deciding how much would each person get. How much does each all that I know not everybody says but in my in our communities it's like a very very major thing. Yeah. Hashem decides which country will be rich which one will be poor. It's very interesting cuz you see some countries were very very poor and now they're very rich and assume vice versa. Yeah. So it's interesting Hashem makes a decision a certain country will become rich. a certain person was very very high, it's going to go very low and or vice versa. You see all of a sudden people never heard about they met me become very big. All of a sudden you hear one day you hear that guy called I don't know Elon Musk and you know who was he like boom you hear of that guy maybe it was gradual I don't know but I'm not so much in the news like one day you hear about him and then you hear about him every day like all of a sudden there's that boom that metarchal you know boom all over the place decided that Hashem as the male as a decision maker because he wants to be a good king wants to give us as much as he can and he can he's limitless therefore he has to judge Then decide decision is more den is more like decision. Malus is giving. Den is the opposite. Is administrating small amounts. Dean means I'll give him 513 and 12 shekels and I'll give him a house I don't know of 15 I don't know me over 20. That's dean. Hashem wants to give and give and give. But if we are mitsum if we're limited in our he will also limit. And the more we are connected to him and we are large with Hashem, he'll be large with us. Yeah. He wants to give and give and give and he's deciding how much does he deserves and she deserves the nation deserves and the city deserves. That's up to us. How much with our realization and that's also why we blow the chauffear. Why do we blow the chauffear? Says we want Hashem to have good memory. We want Hashem to remember us the good way with all the respect orim. We can be great. We can be amazing. And I think today every person who's from in such a crazy world, every teenager that's from today is an ace. You know why there are so many kids off the d? That's not the question. The question is how come there's so many children on the dorm? It's an ace. In today's generation, it's simply a miracle. You have to give them some say you see a teenager with a good she's a good Sam girl. You should like ask them for a as if they were I don't remember who said it but I connected to that. Yeah. The sadikim. So basically as as good as we are, we can't really survive on our own. What how do we get Hashem to remember us as a good nation, we play it safe. We blow the for reminding remember remember the remember them. Yeah, they're there. Yeah, they have our back. I think there's more to that. We follow the ways of a Roman. The fact that today people in today's world are moist nephesh too actually remain. We follow the path of we follow the path of and we're going to talk about that next about chaos. Oh chaos is about the continuity of the Jewish nation. Here comes a piece which for me and I said it afterwards to here the moral says a real here the moral says I'm not saying the other notesh here the moral says something which is like you know this nice kushim you want to you know bite you know sink your teeth into it here it comes leiti I love this one you have I just have to share it with you says maral what is chaer all about chaer is very mysterious it's a very cabalistic they say chauffeur is so high we'll never understand what it's about in just in a simple mak like 10 different reasons written in the why you blow chauffeur I'm not claiming to know what chauffeur is about but I'm reading he's the one says there's another great another great matter another great theme that we are commended theor says you know why blow the chauffeur cuz you're commended that's what says and then he gives other reasons. Interesting. Doesn't say it about other mites. It's too secretive. It's too high. Like like we don't really know what it's about. We're commanded and we do it. And that's what is all about. Stop thinking you understand everything. Stop making yourself the make. You don't know anything now. But then then then says bit of a secret. When you blow down here and the the root of it is way up there to make the good stronger and to basically suppress the bad chauffar is basically giving power of the good over the bad. I want to ask you how many times in history do we or will we have the concept of chauffeur appearing in our history? When do chauffeur appear in history? Well, Marishon had some kind of chauffear. I don't know if he blew it or not. He definitely blew he blew it when he ate from it. That was a big blow to humanity. But basically um yesterday I went to the to a very very beautiful uh uh get together with the Schwarz and Tabber the son of Israel Tabber and uh I think said that if they would come to this world you know the re the coming again they're going to have a hard time cuz everyone's going to blame them for everything they've been through you know it's very fashioned today to blame your mother blame your father for everything can you [laughter] everyone say everyone say to you I'm sweating at work 9 to5 instead of going to college the whole day it's your fault and all the women had difficult birth going to say to what did you think when you listen to the stupid snake you know they'll [laughter] they'll have everyone you know that's what the ro said not me but basically yeah so Adam and made the terrible mistake then there was a shyer you know when the gar says in in shab there was don't laugh there was a unicorn not unicorn of the goimish gave a a corbin to hashem at Makin had one horn. It was a bull. It was kosher. It wasn't a horse. And it was a it was a bull which was a unicorn. Why? The the the horn was one was one to Hashem. Two horns means you're two ways. One horn means you all go up to Hashem. So some kind of chaur that's to do with although the doesn't mention it. I have to admit the main kia chaer if you remember the the ding for rash from almost a year ago. What's the main which we talk about when we dive in on which of that's the main thing we keep talking about the of it's very central in our doubling that's a second time the chauffeur and then what I skipped one I'm sorry I skipped a very major chauffeur oops I'm Sorry rewind of a rainu I'm not saying blew the chauffeur possibly maybe there's a medish I don't remember but obviously a right there was an aisle and from that they said there was the first chauffeurish we have the main chauffeur which is mentioned in the dvening is the chauffeur of what matra and it says In the great cha will blow the great chauffear in the days to come in future days when mashia comes explains the as follows he did what he did and what happened there after sin he was way worse than today you know what happened then The to the good was completely suppressed and conquered by the bad. The bad was controlling the good completely. Other did chuva. He did chuva. What did he bring when he when he did chuva? That unicorn he did it and gave it to Hashem representing his will to yes have a chauffear to try and correct it. Well, but unfortunately what happens then for many generations until most people were of the zor there was no there were ever here and there but the one says in a different safer the one who really corrected the sin of wasu that's the difference between Jews and goim if people start challenging you why we are racist and why we're anti-goim it's very simple did the job I wouldn't say the dirty job. Aramu took the responsibility. He took the the the slack where everybody else dropped it. He he he he's holding the baby. Araminu corrected the sin of Marishan. Well, all the go said, "We don't care." Everybody has to correct the ofish. Aramino is the only one who cared enough. Araminu is the one who started again the chaer process to do what? To try and correct it and bring the good into the world instead of the bad. The Ramavin was the first one who tried to bring goodness and slowly try and get the good from under the suppression of the bed. That's not here. That's in a different safer continues. Listen to the beautiful words. Finally, imagines of the good powers as some you know something under the suppression of the bad. Finally, it's out. Tanto is the new creation. It's equivalent to the creation of the world. Mass revelation. Everything restarted. So the good now came into light. But the bad is not suppressing the good. They both coexist. The good one has its own rights. He's not the only one controlling the story. not the only game in town. Now we have good and bad after matantora especially after the eagle. The eagle made it a bit worse. But right now nowadays we are post matantora meaning there is good in the world. Look at this beautiful shar. Look at the shul. No I'm serious. All yes my my my son he likes to watch a very very kosher YouTube. It's a very nice YouTube channel. I recommend that one not other stuff. It's called I think and you see they're very very nice. A lot of yeshivas are yeshiva sit and learn. You see a whole bish and they all sit and learn and they come into yeshiva to the man in now different yeshivas in you see thousands of thousands of learning and learning more with everything that's going on that's going on. On the other hand there's also a lot of bad stuff going on. There's good and bad kind of competing. But right now after it's a more or less fair competition. Oh, in future that will be complete. You hear the beautiful words. The good will be the only thing existing. The only thing shalet, the only thing controlling the atmosphere will be good. When will that be? Hopefully very soon. I can't wait another year. I'm sorry. And this is Mashiach times. Now listen to the beautiful beautiful words. Why is it called? That's why the chauffar we had before was that when you blow the chafar, what do you do? You you actually bring the good make it stronger than the bad. It's another Yeah. Another score for the good against bad. That's regular cha. What's going to be? Why is it called shufal? Because that will be the chauff of tikun gum of the complete tikun more than matan tora. He says wow we going to seeim and not just a higher level higher than matan tora. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. In other words that chauff every year when we blow the chauffar we are deciding we are preferring we are strengthening the good over the bad. With that we can answer after seeing this beautiful we can answer a very strong question which I think many people have the rash the same I read to you before the gumar there says in the following page says why do we blow chauffeur twice it's the amount of kas we do is way more than the minimum you know that the minimum amount of kas is way less could be even nine nine nine not nine columns nine um whatever serieses Now we blow the chauffeur while we sit and while we stand. Today we do both standing. It means to say before and in. Yeah. But before says, why do you repeat? Why do you do the the twice? We once say we can take the box. Why do we do it again? Says to mix up the Satan, the Satan, we want to confuse him. Okay. Like last time I checked the Satan says famous in around there or maybe around says who is Satan is a Satan he's the same guy the is a very very smart man look he always manages to trap us in his net right he's a very smart guy like how foolish can he be how are we confusing him exactly right how are we confusing the but but he can't be confused it's a very savvy, very cynical, sarcastic kind of guy. He's not a little cutesy uh you know how can you confuse the the satan he's a smart guy the answer is I'm basing myself on what did tell us here says is like blowing it goes through history every time you blow chauffar you continue the process from a roabu through matantora into mashia Every time it's more and more and more. It's another point. If it would be game, it's another score, another point for the good over the bad. Now, at some point, there will be at which will be the final one. At some point, the horror will lose the game precisely because he's so smart. He knows that. He knows he's going to at some point lose the game. As cynical as you are, Yeah. Let's say you're sitting with a with a very cynical person in a in a train. Yeah. And now you know that this train eventually gets to Nahar, right? That cynical guy says he doesn't believe in anything. But he does know he does know that eventually that train ends up in area for whichever reason he's not looking at the signs. I don't know why. Maybe he can't read Hebrew and English. I don't know. He doesn't see the signs. Yeah, that guy. And you tell him, you know, we're reaching Nar. He never knows. You can't say why cuz maybe it's nar. How do you know? Eventually you'll get there. Maybe this stop is the last stop. You're already around. I don't know. He knows. Yeah. He knows maybe this stop is the last one cuz eventually will happen. So as cynical as you may be, you think, well maybe now is the time cuz I know the time will come. And that kind of shuts him up. The fact that we blow chauffeur twice means that we go more we we actually perform the mitzvah more than we have to. We do double the amount. We show love to Hashem and we show Hashem once again. Now we are suppressing and we are bringing the good over the bed once more. Maybe now is the last time. The Sultan is confused. He says, "No, maybe now is the chauffar. Maybe now is the last one." Cuz the last one will arrive at some point. And when he hears that, he gets scared. He said, "Maybe now I've arrived to that stop where he doesn't want to go to." That's a beautiful idea. Maybe that one after the other, one blow after the other. Maybe that's the final one. Maybe that's you know who it depends on on us. The stronger we get in our stronger we are. Yeah. in getting close to the final blow to the final uh now the Greek I do apologize about not getting to dabing yet but this is important to understand the next part which will be about the actual and we're going to have also next week and the following week I think as far as I know we still have twice before the Greek one of my very very very favorites for him in the safer or the says you know why we mentioned the that you know it's you know the chauffeur is the tool in which you bring the because represents tora when did we hear chauffeur for the first time as a nation in matan tora yeah yeah when gave us thera so presents tora and tora is the tool that kills tora hates it is it true theor always disturbs you or sometimes disturbs you when you want to go to shir you want to concentrate does not want us to learn Tory or not to learn the Torah that we should learn always says no learn something light you know gloss over the shabas pamphlet instead of learning which you could thear is not happy with you learning Torah and you need to go out to learn and then your wife all of us done this and the baby screams it's all happening the right time why is not interested in for him yeah to for us is like a terrorist for us is the Torah for theor and if the represents Torra, Hashem remembers, we are reminding Hashem of the big romantic moment we had with Hashem which was Mat and Torra and a good memory of Ramavu through tora. It's not the physical chaer. The chaer presenting tora is the sweetest way to connect to hem because tora is the best and only real way to connect to hem. Of course there's ding there's mitzvah but tora is higher and when you learn to the highest way to connect to hem and you blow the chauffeur that represents tora that does the trick that's you trick the system you beat the system and this way both and can come up to hashem now let's start reading the words of the we don't have much time but we'll try as much as we can I'm now reading I'm skipping the first bro out of lack of time I kind planned this year to be today will be I don't know how much we'll get and next one and the last one. So I do ask for your uh forgiveness. We're not going to learn the first part the all these beautiful dishes with takadosh. We won't learn that. We'll jump straight into so what do we say inot? I highly recommend that this tila which we say at the very end of davening we barely say it you know with one foot out the door. So this is very central to fela on rash. You know why they joke they say that you know every poor person every miscan has his one day where he feels alen unfortunately is a scape coat of ding is the of ding which is very sad. And it's composed by Yeshua and Aan. Yeah. So at least once a year, twice a year gets center stage and that's that's in that's in Rashashana on Rashashana after Alenu which I will not explain you know look in your Siduri maybe another time but I want to speak about philosoph which are more specific toash. We finish and we say we beg rule over the entire world with your glory with your co but I didn't translate it right it doesn't say the entire world it says it says twice rule over the entire world entire the entire entirety of the world what does it Sounds like it's what does it mean? What do we call it? Just say not composing a song here. You know it says twice. I'll tell you why. Says of freed I don't remember when he quotes now. He says when he is it has two verifications. Can you imagine Hashem being can you close your eyes for a sec? You don't have to close your eyes. Can you just imagine we're not in a yoga session, but like think of people the biggest woke people, the biggest atheists, the biggest Darwinists in Lex in America, the biggest idol worshippers in Papa New Guinea. Can you imagine them serving Hashem? Can Can you actually imagine that? It's insane. Can you imagine everyone serving Hashem? Everybody in France, in Italy, in Africa, in Arab. Can you imagine Kamas? Can you imagine? I don't know who will survive. Who won't? That's another question. Those will survive. Can you imagine Palestinian terrorists serving Hashem? That's that's it's like it's beyond insane, right? We have to d for that. The entire world. All the cultures from the craziest to the craziest. Yeah. All the cultures. Now, what's koi? In quality. Not in quantity. In qu in quantity. Everyone will serve Hashem. And in quality. They're not gonna say it's not like the walk guy will say walk he's not a guy he or she he slash it I don't know you don't say the gender right so it will not just say okay I decided I'm a man and I'm marrying a woman that's a lot for woke yeah no much more than that he will really coronate Hashem over himself don't faint I saw this in a safer yesterday of a of one of the he says going will be in a higher higher level of Jews today. Can you imagine that woke guy if and that mug in Papa New Guinea who dins to the god of the fire and dances and puts in a frog on his head. They won't just be okay believing in in one god and kind of having stable marriage with a man and no they will actually be serving Hashem like like a co little guy today. That's what we have to dive in for. And we yen will be much higher than that. Can't even imagine. I'm very bad at remembering sources. I apologize. But I've seen this in the source. I promise you. Not in today. I saw it in the one of the I don't want to quote misquote. He says in future go in future will be higher than Jews. And we have to doubt it should happen now. The whole world means what? Its entirety within itself. Every mushika in every mushina culture and there are many will believe in Hashem and serve Hashem. Not just believe in Hashem, he will serve Hashem and make Hashem is one and only king in a total way. We're not prophesizing. We're asking Hashem. We beg Hashem. would say, "Hashem, please. I'm standing here in Amloes, in Khan, in Lakewood, in Betel, wherever people d and I'm standing here and I'm asking Hashem, I want you to be Melik over the entire world in an in in a in a way that's qualitatively also entire. That's what you have to beg Hashem. Rashashan, you have to do slowly. You have to think of every word. It says in this foreign you know why we don't eat nuts on gimatri is nice but the main thing is because when you eat nuts and similar foods yeah it can create like this you know you have to clear your throat it's unclarity in your throat we have to be so ready and so careful with the tilos and so careful with the every word we have to think of and we have to connect emotionally rain over the entire world in a way that is entire how with your co yeah to be not because people are scared of you because they want to respect you I will continue one more line I saw the budraham I saw this inside inraham he says that talks about what's just to to to reign you can stand next to a king physically is to be higher This is not about Hashem being a king. It's about Hashem being the judge and the one way above us and is a different sort of that comes from us appreciating the of Hashem says the Abu Rams is Hashem's judgment that we appreciate and we say wow when the world will come to its tikun we'll say wow Hashem's judgment is so perfect is so way above us all the little he knows Everything he's approaching us from very very high in he's way way above and is to do within his he and that causes us again will cause us to believe with in him and and serve him means what we want you to show yourself. I know Hashem is nobody. You have kids in school. Yeah. You get a kofa. What's in Hebrew? Enlighten me. No. Show is to show to perform. Performance is a performance. To show, right? Yeah. Hashem should appear. Not that he's physical. But our our feelings towards Hashem will be so clear as if we see him. Yeah. Our knowledge of Hashem will be so clear. Show yourself right here. Your presence will be so strong as if we're watching a real show and the person is here. We won't go now into all these details over each and every uh resident of says either or they say your land. We're begging Hashem it's your land. It's your land. So why do you let all the mishugenas run around the world? It's your land. I would say have mercy. It's your job. It's your child. It's your land you created. And we show us yourself. Show us yourself ready. Let's stop all this craze and all the nonsense all around us. And this is something we have to beg emotionally on rash shad. That's the way to go. And I thank you very much for listening. Next week there will be more of and thank you very much. Thank you for the beautiful biography. Thank you everybody who came. Thank you to And now we can go to Arvit.
