this is Anders nurman from Hing from Vancouver or raav whichever Mor Epstein from Cleveland wow and now Jerusalem ISAC fromo can you put the guitar down a little and we're just taking a short break on the music we have a very special guest it's already a tradition we've had Rabbi Kidron uh speak for the last several years for a few minutes just to keep the topic the day focus and I think he's approaching here he is Rabbi KRON let's mic it down turn the you m the guitar M the guitar good evening everyone they started to say nowadays um when it comes to L I thought we have to find what could be a possible lesson for us to take from this day um they say that this day is connected to RAB Shimon who is the author of the essence of now I saw I saw once in idea a very basic idea in one of the most famous commentaries to seph that uh idea is something that I think if every everyone will just pay attention to it and uh get get [Music] get what okay so if everyone will just notice it it can make a big change for us for everyone who surrounds us the basic idea is well maybe before I start that I'll I'll uh tell you what I saw in a commentary to which is related to that is saying today we read about yum about Shabbat and about yam kipur he says that there are actually three levels of festivals y Shabbat Yip and what's the difference between them what makes them a different level is the ratio between receiving and giving yum is a festival for which we give we prepare we PR prepare food we prepare a we dedicate something to celebrate it and we receive in return the inspiration the sanctity of that day but it's only limited for for that day on the same day Shabbat in Shabbat the ratio between us giving to it and it giving to us is different because we dedicate something for the Shabbat we prepare meals we eat three meals we we pray we read but then the sanctity of the Shabbat goes all along the week the blessing of the Shabbat is what blesses the entire week yum kipur is even greater on yum kipur we almost don't have to prepare anything because uh there are no meals in yum kipur just have nice nice clothes and the influence of yam kipur is during the entire year so the ratio between giving and receiving goes gradually up between y Shabbat by the way says that we found three organs in a person's body body that have the same the same ratio the liver that's what he says receives and gives receives whatever it receives it gives to the body the heart receives a little less than the liver but it gives much more the brain receives almost uh nothing and it gives much more than the heart so there are three levels he also says that there are three types of righteous people like that and basically the idea I saw in in the that commentary to seph says that the role of a person in life is to change himself from a receiver to a giver when a person is born when a baby is born the baby is almost a 100% just a receiver it doesn't give anything to us we have to give to it we have to feed it we have to dress it we have to do everything it needs it's completely dependent as a person grows up he he's supposed to turn himself or herself from a receiver to a giver and the complete person is the person who got to that point where the ratio between him receiving is and giving is the maximum giving and the minimum receiving possible for that person for each person it's different so uh I just want to pray that we'll take from this day the uh that look that hope that we'll try to uh do our best to become more givers and less receivers in whatever possible and make the world better [Music] it's because he's f
