Execute On Your Decisions - The Chofetz Chaim's Observation on the Contrast Between Avraham & Terach

Okay, to be to hear this your grandmother must have wept when she lit narrow shabbos maybe over a hundred years ago that you should be to hear this time. This is the This is a time that's again literally every single day throughout the day and in our time like it was never again before. Okay. This is classic conversation simple passage. Abraham set out to go to land of Canaan and he went there. What? I don't know you set out to go to Canaan and he went to Canaan. There are a lot of extra words here. Either say he went to Canaan or say he set out to go to Canaan. Why do you need to say he set out to go to Canaan and he went there. Obviously if he set out to go there he went there. Says the Abraham and given Abraham since it was in his mind to go to Canaan he went there. As opposed to a man by the name of the Torah at the end of the Torah left or them with Abraham at the Canaan by the way you at he came to by the way you some had in mind to set out to go to Canaan. He got distracted and he went to which was on the way and once already he took out his phone to do something else he got caught up in that and he never accomplished what he set out to do. Abraham set out to go to Canaan and he went to Canaan. Torah set out to go to Canaan. He stopped off in Haran and he never went further. The Lamed shall Adam La Leches Badar Avram Avinu. Namely, the Mekabel Al Atzmi La Leches Eretz Canaan. If you decide to go to Canaan, Muchrach Lavoi La'asom, you going to need to go. If once you decide to do something, you need to do it. Filai Lashon Isma Chafah, don't change your path. O il he shove emtza haderech, or to remain in the middle of the road. The way I understand this Chofetz Chaim is that if you do if you set out to do something, don't just say, "First I'm going to just check this, then I'm going to go check that, then I'm going to open up the fridge, then and then I'm going to do what I decided to do." No. Once you decide to do something, go do it. And don't settle, and don't rest, and don't do anything else until you accomplish what you set out to do, because if you don't if you don't take the reins and go do what you've decided to do, you will never do it. This is what it means Masai Yagiu Masai La'aseh Avram I always say Avraham. Avram Avinu was decisive. He decided to do something and he executed. Do not pause between decision and execution. Terah he's still in Haran. By the way, it's 3,000 years later. Terah is still in Haran. He hasn't moved. He just he went to Haran, he was checking his phone, he was checking one more news outlet. He was just He was just He was just and he never accomplished what he needed to do. Avraham set out to Canaan, and he went there. And the rest is is history. The reason why we're learning this morning Dafa Shavua Misha Bura, cuz when Avraham decided to go to Eretz Canaan, he went. As opposed to Terah, he also decided, but he never made it further. Have a great day, everyone. Bracha v'hatzlacha. >> Recording stopped.
