Let it Go - Rabbi Doniel Staum

i'm standing here with a beautiful view behind me of our overflowing garbage cans which is a simmon of uh arab pesach and of pesach itself you know we seek to get rid of our comments and we know that the radha says very famously that more stringent than anything else possible it's more humber than than even zara to a certain degree because it's reminiscent it's symbolic of the yetzer to get rid of the eight zahara there are many things that we want to get rid of but we don't really want to get rid of you see all of our negative character traits serve a certain purpose for us have a certain benefit if we want to get rid of the garbage from within ourselves we have to bring it to schlepping up to the curb and have it ready and then the garbage men will come hopefully and we'll cart it away but our job is that we have to be willing to part with it we have to be willing to figure out new ways to deal with struggles and challenges without resorting to our negative character traits master says the first day of pesach in the sense that we start counting when you walk across the showers from the day after shops saturday after shabbos stay after the first day of pesach but it's called shabbos says because of stopping is called to destroy to actively destroy our comments and he says it's specifically on the day after we destroy our hummus and we change our whole modality of eating eating is very important to us as and as human beings we need to do a lot of focus on our eating and then we change our entire diet so quickly we turn over everything that's a shabbos is a stoppage it's a stoppage and a change in our lives when we have shown ourselves that we're able to make a drastic change because we invested in it we're willing to do it that's when we start counting the owner that's when we start counting towards kabul from the day after you show that you can make a change that things don't have to continue the way they were until now things could be different when that happens that's when we're able to start counting and begin our trek towards kapalasa so let's take all of our garbage and make sure we put it out at the curb sounds like in the distance i hear the garbage trucks coming i hope so they can cart it all off so that we can be left pristine and clean and beautiful and internalize the incredible message of the mata and the incredible message of the entire yomtif of pesach and yamuna that it brings a good invite [Music]
