Good morning everyone. Yam yum kiper is a very big yam. Uh of course there's a mass da to eat. So when you're eating now have kavanas kind of dice of eating. If you want to know uh 10 or 11 more kavanas listen to the clip from last night. In a nutshell you're eating to have strength for the tinus. You're eating because of the joy that to rejoice in mitzvah. you can't do it tomorrow and also that you're expressing your happiness that you're able to reach to but now we're not talking about yum kipper we're going to now we're not talking about yum kipper we're going to talk about yum kipper proper and here's a little a little hack we'll call it that I think many people are not aware of and is a gamecher because we pass in mitzvah There are a lot of people they fast on but you can make the case that if you don't have this simple thought you don't get credit for fasting and that is have to the mitzvah of fasting on it would be a shame to fast for 25 hours and the only thing you got out of it is you lost two pounds. I mean it's a big accomplishment because here you have a guy he's minimizing like 150 calories a day takes him three and a half years to lose a pound you know so in one day you know he's able to does by the way do we ask or weavan but the million dollar question is does it apply to does it apply to it's very interesting the doesn't talk about about it. The mission doesn't talk about it. Theim don't really discuss it. The in the writes applies to he learns it from the it says you should do the mitzvah with all your heart with all your kavana. You should also safeguard the mitzvah with all your kavana. From here the saskar derives need kabana. He quotes from that the that the Arizal writes regarding the mitzvah of taking a haircut. You should have in mind that you're fulfilling the mitzvah of sash. So obviously that indicates that lim need. Now I'll tell you the truth. I had a conversation on Thursday, no on Wednesday with Rabbi Daniel Garfinkle, the author of Kashm. And I was arguing that maybe you could make the case that do not need why it's not found in the it's not found in the main don't bring this and the fact that the basar brings it but I don't know that we could say that it's a because writes it in the maybe it's an ideal maybe it's a madrega but maybe you can't say It's an outright and maybe you could argue that the this would be why maybe it's not um definitely required is because while a mitzvah the focus of the mitzvah is the act not the result the act and in fact many say that when the mitzvah is not the act but the result you don't have to have kavana for example many say that if you give sodaka or you said and the reason is let's say I'm giving what's the mitzvah to go like this and put it in the hand of the ani no the mitzvah is the result that the should have it so when the mitzah is the then the doesn't care what you're thinking when the has five bucks and he goes to buy a coffee it's irrelevant to him what your kavana was when you gave him the the bottom line is he has the money so when The result is the kabun is not is not key. What's the purp what's not violating? Not doing the act of putting on chness or the result that chess wasn't worn. What does hashem want? That you shouldn't in in other words isn't the accomplishment of not violating alav the result that you didn't violate the lav not the act of sitting there in a stray jacket not putting on the shness. Right? Does that make sense in if the >> says this? >> What? >> Say a ladder. What? >> What does say that? What >> Yeah. >> By mitzvah. You can't make >> Yeah. You can't do it because >> okay >> well you shouldn't be able to do it for the same reason. >> Okay. because it says itself. Ah so napali gladstein you could come back to next time is supporting me that says that by the is the not the according to that maybe then it would make sense that's why the don't bring down that you have to have but the ben writes it's you have to I would argue maybe it's not but he says that that you have to and bottom line is if you want to make your yum kipper really sparkle pick up this sheet and it will tell you the kavanas to have we're going to go the main kavana to have is at least one time in yum kipper think I have kavana to the mitzvah of passing on >> is it an it's not really an yeah but the The >> dictates not to violate, right? So what is it say? >> What does >> the way you fulfill it is not eating. Secondly, like we pointed out by many mitzvah uh as you're fulfilling the mitzvah of not eating beahu like the says all mitzvah you should be before you them. You should have in mind you're fasting out of love of Hashem. You should have in mind you're fasting out of fear of Hashem. You should have in mind you're fasting. Fasting, you know, once you're fasting, you might as well do it. Number six, you're doing it to bring like, yeah, David, you want to bring to your parents, right? It makes you feel good when you bring to your parents. So also, Hashem is your father. So when you fast, you're bringing Hashem. Also the Sharm says it's an Eloy to the when you're the also you're doing it for the team. You're doing it for the team. And take also besides it, take one of these besides the tissue. You're doing it for the team. By the way, I saw a very nice statistic. 75% of Israelis are fasting on Yumkip at least to some extent maybe part of the day a little bit but anyway but not everybody's fasting so you're fasting for to protect them and to bring them merit and also Yeshua these are nine tavanas to have you could get the sheet here and that's the first clip but I want to tell you alum this. Okay, here we
