Understanding Spiritual You Teshuva - Rabbi Efraim Stauber

[Music] the next critical mistake that needs to be corrected before we can be successful Juba is what does the word simply mean what's amazing is that even people who know the correct definition of teshuva don't focus on it and focus on the wrong thing most people translate the word teshuva adds meaning repentance what is the word repentance mean well I looked it up in the merriam-webster dictionary and the Cambridge dictionary repentance is to be very sorry for something bad you have done in the past and wish that you had not done it he repented of his sins just hours before he died merriam-webster to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one's life okay so according to the secular world repentance has a lot to do with sin Lahav though many people know where a banana says about true but we mentioned it before the three critical components of Chuba are Hirata which means regret and as Eva said Kabbalah acid letting go accepting in the future never gonna do it again a commitment basically and vido so yeah it sounds very similar to repent I understand why people call it that way but it's actually a mistake even though this is a critical component of Shuba the word to Shuba the mob it teaches us in the beginning of his safer about Shuvo he says click on it I'll call it stardom what is Dhruva what does it mean and he says careful lash m-may rehook ahead to Shuba comes to the word shoving me to return to God because sin of course in it's part of the equation sin causes distance from God Chuba means returning to God now this is not just a little detail this is very important why we need to bring spiritual you we need to bring God into the Trueba equation because when you're thinking about the head and your own little self and all of your failures you get stuck in a very small place but when you realize you were with it with it's correct definition what true becomes to be about is chasing pleasure chasing your life's dream chasing Hashem let's talk about the Vegas a little bit let's talk about what it means to connect our Shem the ROM cow in the beginning of the safe of Mithila charme explains that the greatest pleasure of life the edewin Haggadah is the Vegas in a shimmery that's why Hashem created the world I shouldn't created the world because you want to give us the pleasure of connection with him so chuhwa is actually all about returning to God and that's meant to be something intensely enjoyable you know I'm put in this way what if you don't like God what if spirituality means nothing to you hesitate a little bit before saying this but perhaps troub is not for you because what are you looking for you're looking for personal greatness I don't know I wish you luck buddy that's not really what this is about chuhwa is about chasing the ultimate pleasure of the Vegas in a Kurdish borough who and many people don't even think about that at all is the definition of the word so the most important error to fix is what does the word mean what is our goal what is our true of a dream what is our true of a goal what is our vision and the answer is the pleasure of the Vegas that's what God wants for us and that's what hopefully we want for ourselves so join us in this spiritual you chuga kabura now you know what we call the spiritual youtube Habra because what this is about is becoming our spiritual selves chasing the pleasure of spiritual selves so it's actually something that we're looking for something easy something intuitive something we want that something that's more enjoyable than sin send your email to the Torah Center at gmail.com and join us today [Music] [Applause]
