Rabbi Mordechai Kraft - Teshuvah

well I like to talk to you today tonight about is we're gonna prepare our souls for Buster Shauna and in our preparation really we have to understand what the whole purpose of judgement is all about now I like to start to play a question and then answer me truthfully what what's our emotion on different holidays how do we feel in different holidays for example let's take pace up how do we feel what's the emotion I play something joy why is joy because God took us out of slavery beautiful so cooked what's our motion also cooked so coke the motion is joy right sponsored angels the thought of great happiness God sustained us in the desert to give us money for these little Hut's are not yet covered plan to glory and Shabbat we're gonna keep the Torah what's our motion join good happiness how would you keep her what's our motion your Kippur is the happiest day of the Jewish calendar right it's the day when God tears up all the parking tickets he tears up all the decrees against us he forgives us we just have to say we're sorry happy happy happy day series day happy day what's that ambush on Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah is a day of judgment what's not of motion what we're supposed to be feeling guilt ahead suggestion how about fear how the trepidation fear supposed to be afraid you know if God is judging us it's got a scrutinizing our actions shouldn't there be a type of fear there should be I think I would be we should be God's examining our lives he's looking at us there should be fear yeah it's interesting ha ha ha it's not based on fear the how the house says you know what have a delicious meal where nice clothing go to the synagogue and sing really uplifting songs right get a haircut it's a Yosef how could we have a young Civ a celebration we know that we're being judged seems to be a paradox is be captured think about that for a moment just one question I have second question I have is what day of the year does rush you're trying to fall on is it the first day of the is it the first is it the what day what day is Rosh Hashanah it's on the first to t-shirt that's interesting if you're going to judge somebody there's gonna be judgment if you're a teacher in the classroom what do you give the final exam the last day of the year you never give the examination or the final examination on the first day of the new semester you know magic coming back to college of the semester mobile sudden after a great summer your teachers pull up tests and say okay here's the test of everything we covered last year what would you say see that's not fair does make sense test me at the end of last year whatever last year this is a new year now think about this very carefully Russia shot it falls when Russia Sharna falls on the first day of the of the new year the first day of the new year not the last day of the older they're interested what's going on how to Russia shot us on the first day of the new year and none of the last day of the old year I'm going to be judged God judge me at the end vo Jim not the first day of the new year ain't arrestin concept so I'd like to do with you tonight as I'd like to get a little bit of clarity on why Rosh Hashanah is on the first day of the new year and not on the last day of the old year and if we could understand that to understand the first question which is why when God judges us on a day of judgment it's not a day of fear it's a day of rejoicing it's tremendous day of rejoicing now let me just add one more question into the picture and then we'll begin the lecture when are we actually judged on Rosh Hashanah when does the judgment take place member what shall the day of judgment what does the judgment take place you don't it takes place it takes place at the point in which we hear the shofar we go to the synagogue you hear the shofar that's the point in sham I am in heaven where God is opening up our ledger and he's taking a very very careful look at us those were problem with it the halacha says says in jewish law that we're supposed to with enthusiasm go to the synagogue and blue chauffeur we're still trying to get up early and bull the chauffeur now does that make sense to you imagine that you're going to be judged in the secular court right you have to go downtown downtown Brooklyn you know you're guilty right there's no person in the world who lives without sinning right we know what guilty and we know that when we blow a shofar that's when judgment is gonna take place but you know what we do we rush to the court and say guess what judge me you know you have to leave after you're sitting on some you know some judge down there you know your parking tickets in front of you and you rush you say take a look at my parking tickets give me a judgement I want to jump right you have to be crazy to do it you know Russia shut up and say to God and blow the chauffeur on a bullet show for that some judgment takes place as if to say to God judge me I want to be judged I want to be judged I don't want to be judged does anybody wanted to judge can we pass a judgement can we pass an examination right there's no such thing you know the human being we're base created in a way that what it needs to be human needs not to be perfectly like we know that we're not perfect and very few people are perfect to me few exceptions Arthur's one game but most of us aren't perfect so we know that I'm Russian shy no we don't want to change get me wash to the synagogue and say to God judge me when I blow the show for a big judge does it make any sense sorry very interesting game I think we get a little bit of clarity on some of these these three questions why we rejoice why it's the first day of the new year which often takes place and not blast in the old year and why we anticipate the judge we ask God to judge us you can answer these three questions whole different perspective on what the judgment is all about what the day is all about and what Rosh Hashanah is all about I think you have a totally different Holly so stay with file to try to thought I would take you something which is very very beautiful question why did God pick the first day of the he per month of fishery to judge mankind why this day creation on the first man good the first man was created on the first day of Tishri we know the world was created on the 25th of lo6 days later is the first day of Tishrei he doesn't end of them were created on the sixth day good fine well why is this day a day of judgment the answer is that it's the day of judgment because this was the day when the first man was judged question how long did others survive in the Garden of Eden how long was he there for few weeks two years whew two hours maybe T what it says in the what it says in the guevara it says it follows it says Shirey shown on the first hour of the sixth day of creation all of the Buckshot a Shem thought about creating out of credi man shaniyah disguise him out clear shorts and the second hour he asked advice from the angel that's why it says let us make man but when you look at the turn-up was it saying I saw other that's a man let us make man who's got sticky 20-something man talk to the angels this guy seemed the Mafia shows and we'd learn something with that by the way we learned something that before you make any major decision in life he's supposed to ask somebody even if the person doesn't know as much as you it shows humility that God was trying to teach humility he asked the Angels for advice before he decided to create men so before you make any major decisions in life you don't watch into them you always ask advice from somebody even if the person doesn't know as much as the Angels don't know as much as God but it shows humility so before you all get married please ask somebody ask your friends ask your parents know just rush into it ask somebody what do you think do you like this person you like this person let's just take one fighting party but tonight so a friend of mine is coming from Eric's as well and he's he's actually one of Sharansky's advisors my good friend of mine and so he's gonna stay with us for Shabbos he's out he's on a speaking tour so we were going out to somebody's house for Shabbos so I called this person up and said you know big a friend of mine he's a Sharansky advisor he's coming in could he join us at your home Friday night with our family this is like absolutely sure beautiful please have so I said thank you so much as he Friday night and first of all wife says to me she says cold cold right back I said why I called my back I said you didn't tell him that despite we didn't tell him that he's married you know he's married he's married with four kids he said call right back you know the person just spoke to his probably thinking oh he's single you know he's nice he's a nice guy she's gonna set him up with somebody boy right back and tell her that he's married so I why would you possibly think that you know so my wife said you don't understand you don't get it you know the first thing a woman is thinking about but here at the someone's commands coming over as he married is not married I said I said I think we say that's it didn't cross my mind because right so my wife I think called call her back and said by the way he has three kids he's married happily married because what happily you know single guy nice little guy you know comes alright you know nice job workers France key okay where were we oh yeah we were creating them so what happened over here second our God discusses with the Angels to create men and we learn from that of course you have to ask advice if we do something third hour today what happened code nice ah through a shunt took dust and he gathered it together it's at the fourth hour of the day what did he do he molded it fifth hours a day Rockabye he a chef shaped it sixth hour the day also : the sixth hour of the day has Shem made the golem it's like he made sort of like a figure of a man with no soul called a golem like a Frankenstein type of temperature bazan zurich bones shaman on the seventh hour of the day god through in the soul than a shovel Booker T Leigh silicon even on the eighth hour of the day God placed all them into the Garden of Eden but T she's the ninth hour of the day that stop it God commanded them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good neither public good and evil we are serious Sarah on the tenth hour of the day are them sinned Beatrice reggaeton 11th hour of the day he was judged fish trimester York City demos and the twelfth hour of the day he was kicked out how many hours did other naked in the Garden of Eden in six six hours but the point where his neshama was breathed into this being to the point where he was expelled was a six hour tenure it was not a long time period in the garden there was six hours interesting now what's fascinating about this Gomorrah that's an excellent excellent point the weights understood according to most most professions the first five days of creation to be as long as one but once we speak about the creation of Adam and the neshamah being grieved into it we're speaking about days and hours as we know so when we count that the world is five seven six six we're really counting from the creation of other the creation of first man question yeah but the first five days were never locked into a day being a day we're not locked into that in fact Jewish philosophy Kabbalah has always held that the days weren't 24-hour days it was only active Darwin and the Christian fundamentalists who were trying to fight Darwin they will set up in Darwin be right the world's only five seven six six five thousand years old we said no never so we count from the creation about the first five days can be as many years as for any reason you need 14 billion 15 billion everyone you know okay no contradict but just a minor point get put principle that sister when it says in the Zohar that it says in the ZOA that before God created this world he created six worlds before it it was very possible that when we find creatures or things that are carbon dated to be three million years old it could be from of those previous world in fact that the Pharisees role was a German Robin by 1840 so when they're discovering these big mammoths and frozen in glaciers out in different places in the world he wrote an article and he said basically Oh beautiful the three million years old it's approved to the truth of the Kabbalah that says there are many worlds before this and the purpose of those worlds was to show how important Anna's God says I'm willing to create and recreate six times before I created man because that's how you're important you are I want the house to be perfect before I put in the guest does never contradiction to us that's one way of approaching different approaches the other approach is to say carbon dating is in trouble is wrong if you go that way awesome but it never should affect our muna it never should affect our and trust we're not locked into the world being five seven six six will be unlocked into his being Adam harish own and his neshama being five thousand seven hundred sixty six okay but don't make that mistake I spoke to once a very very famous physicist and he was very bothered by the fact that he said look I looked through my Hubble telescope and the world is clearly you know fifteen to sixteen billion years old how can you rabbis probably twenty five seven six six as they told me Jewish guy but really brilliant physicist and I said back to my son who sent the one stripe that designer 6001 Ephraim autumn is five seven six but the world could be as many years as well and the true provider is fifteen billion years isn't nearly enough to produce perfection not nearly enough if you claims random random chance wouldn't produce one you know one one protein one protein to end one one enzyme you would need much more than 50 billion if that's the number that she wants it used to create a fun okay we good yes when this time this is time to creation right times I don't get to right never times a creation time we know that the wood that the Sun wasn't created to the third day right so we're gonna measure time but the revolution of the earth around the Sun we can't at least start talking to that to the third day of creation so what happened the first two days we can't talk about time as we know time so therefore when the Torah says day it's a metaphor for something else of quite the many pinions okay good there's no election there's another lecture it's not good but don't let it affect your Mona don't let affect your trust you're planning to go on a very deep tradition okay not loaf it's locked at the fundamental list type principle okay now I'm bothered by the statement of Gomorrah by the last statement the last thing says like this and let me read it to you know Hebrew he could translate for me it says in the twelfth hour of the day Ottoman Rishon York Sabha demos are the very first man he said he was judged he was expelled but doesn't say who's expelled it says who your table the demons are safe to say he left with the merciful sentence he left the Garden of Eden with a merciful sentence that's what it says for this X spelled when he left God gave him a merciful sweet sentence by sending him out of the garden now let me ask you a question how could our sages say that leaving the Garden of Eden was in any way merciful or sweet let's let's just contrast the two states of existence in the Garden of Eden number one God was revealed you could see go God was totally there present you look in the world there's a shadow you leave the Garden of Eden God conceals himself he's headed I mean imagine what it was like in the Garden of Eden when you could actually see a chef I'm trying to get back to that state so happy you say it was merciful - exponent number one number two and the Garden of Eden you didn't have to work to earn your living your food was prepared the curse of leaving the Garden of Eden was possess a bakkoto collection you have to earn your bread bus what if your brow and that's what all of you guys are doing and girls are doing in university right you're learning careers and train to go out so you should be able to earn your living it doesn't just fall from heaven anymore can't just pick it off the tree we'd like to pick it out of her parents pocket sometimes not even like they're not so deep that's not so good for us you have to work it's a curse it's a curse working for cars and the Garden of Eden there's no need to work number two number three in the Garden of Eden there was no death part of the part of the the expulsion resulted in the fact that now there's going to be definitely more death didn't exist in the garden either but it does exist outside the garden even so because other was judged death came into the world one has to work to earn the living and one's cut off from God so how can our sages look at that sentence and say oh it was a merciful compassionate sensitive acceptance it doesn't look sweet to me it looks hard to me I can't imagine anything harder than that distancing oneself from God I have to work for a living and death get her said you say no ultimate reach on your table with demos he left with merciful sentence what's that mean let's try to explain I would explain something to you that you might have not heard before you might not have heard this this has to do the Czar says according to the arteries it's up as to why Ottoman rashaam sinned to begin now remember in the Garden of Eden other Richman was commanded to enjoy the garden at the table yet there was one fruit that he couldn't eat that fruit was called the eighth's das lava rock the true the fruit which if he eats that somehow he ingests evil wasn't me in the Garden of Eden before the cinema the y8 Sahara the inclination that we all have of the evil Canadian Sahara was outside of other there wasn't inside of other was outside of Aden what does that mean it means that other and really did not have the challenges and tests that we have today the challenges that we have in life were because inside our mind exists yet sorrow and the truth of the matter the eight Sahara is really our best friend you know why it's our best friend because without it we wouldn't be able to get so much reward the job of the Exile Hara is to create the challenges and tests for us challenges and tests really one day we can understand that that gate Sahara that's constantly challenging us there's really such a great friend of ours why because it out it there's no reward we didn't have you get so hot oh you know it would be too easy to choose good with the eggs ihara there's a challenge you're probably thinking right now it's going on in your mind right what's happening your mind your minds right now what's happening is you're thinking should I listen to Rabbi Kraft should I think about my homework for tomorrow should I look across the room should I look Ross the room the other side of the road this silent yeah that's called the yetze hara you know i have a challenge every moment my life i'm big challenge to test it in the garden of eden autumn did not have that challenge because the eight Sahara was outside of himself so the source says listen carefully is very very interesting Zhora says that Adam had the knowledge of the knowledge of evil he had the knowledge of the knowledge of evil he understood theoretically that there could be something called that evil disconnection from God but he couldn't experienced he couldn't feel it's not like we live where are you good you know actually in your mind make a choice to disconnect with God if they wanna do something wrong you had no feeling for that because only theoretically understood that hypothetically one might be able to cut themselves off from God if they want but he had no way of really understanding that because he had no internal yet to heart it was outside himself we had the eczema inside ourselves a result of our the beating of the tree but he didn't pound does it just a one day as I met you so we're gonna realize that the observer was really our friend in fact it says when the Shepherd comes it says that Hashem is going to take the gates of Hara and he's going to slaughter Shepherd so what does it mean when he says it's going to shut it shut the gates of heart it doesn't means gonna take a bullet and you know communist style like Stalin you know and right and it shoot into the back of the head that's not what it means this is gonna murder the gate tomorrow says he's gonna check the gate so huh right what did she want you to be taught what it should be taught me she ties ritual slaughter when we kill an animal to eat it are we murdering the animal no we're uplifting that animal we're taking that animal and we're looking for a higher purpose but it should not be the vehicle through which we can be healthy and nourished and fortify the service shop she beat oz the process of elevation of something so what does it mean that solution comes Hashem is going to take the game tomorrow and he's going to elevate it back to its position where people could understand that really it was there to help us all along which helped us to help us to have free choice so that we can have money morning in the Garden of Eden autumn did not have the challenges that we have the ape Sahara was outside of who he was so listen to this the source s is following it says that altyn arashan sinned for the sake of hashem he sinned for the sake of heaven who is in a Vera the schmuck what does that mean means unbury some said like this he said you know in the position I had right now it's too easy to serve God it's too easy God I have no struggle getting to know you it's too easy to get you know as long as the air Tijeras outside of me of course I'm gonna do what's right I want to drop a level in order to show you that even when my gates are hard inside of me and I'm gonna eat up the truth that I'm gonna friggin inside of me by ingesting it I'm gonna show you God I can love you even with the end so hard in my brain it's easy to love you got on the air so hard over there but I want to bring it inside myself and show you that I have all these challenges inter conflict I'm still gonna love you that's the other one today the source says it was a sin for the sake of God you know you can imagine today you have Bill Gates go gates is worth about 30 billion just a little bit more than a little bit more than all of us right thinking about 30 billion what's the challenge that Bill Gates son has Bill Gates son let's say wants to go into business does he actually but let's say bill says Bill Gates has a son and he wants to go his son wants to go to the business so if he succeeds in business what's everybody gonna say of course you succeed in business his father invested he believed dollars into the company it was easy so if this son really wants to show that he's a businessman that he's a somebody what does he have to do he has to turn to his father right they just say dad I don't want any money I don't want alone here are your credit cards right with their you know 400 billion credit line on it I don't need I'm gonna do it on my own because I want to show the world I didn't need you I did it myself I did say that Adam Adam he was like a billionaires son saved the god you know as long as I don't have the answer her inside me it's too easy to love you I'm gonna bring the gifts of her inside myself and by doing so I'm gonna show the world and show everything hasn't come out of me and I could love you any when there's a fight this job do you hear that's where the song says it was a sin for the sake of God he wanted to drop a level to rise the level he wanted to purposely put himself a lower level to show that he could love God even on that lower level that's what the our recent self says yep the question so what do you think God would say to other if I were God I would turn to God I would turn to other I would say other that was beautiful you know you sin to show your love for me you eight of the eight to das in order to drop a level to internalize the otoharada so you could have challenges and struggles and still reveal that you can love me in the process if I were God I would turn to other and said other wow that was so beautiful I love you for that oh you know what God says to other other you like trust you don't believe you don't have any emunah you don't have any faith that's we turns he says and the good mornin Hendricks says Odom in hey yo add the black belief he didn't believe he lacked trust he like them or not that's what it says that was God's criticism of not plugging you lack faith first of all just a quick question how can other black state na kupuna not trust he was just created by God how many hours before five hours before since the sixes to talk about six it created intimately by God he knows got intimately so happening lack trust it says I feel activate the first of all we see something very interesting by the way as to what Thetas what a moon and when eyes do we need faith that God created the world yes No do we need to fake the car in the world I dare say we don't deep faith I just say we examine the evidence we realized this intense perfection and creation when you see intense perfection only somebody who's deranged can say it happened randomly perfection says there had to have been designer just like when you look at a house and you see the design you say designer look at the world you see design you say designer that's not fake that's examination of the evidence how about God give you the Torah does that take faith or is that based on knowledge I believe it's based on knowledge right that God first of all he wrote prophecies in the Turner's ever gonna happen 3000 years later he happened to the team God gives in front of 613 thousand men no there six hundred thirty thousand women another million children it gives in front of witnesses he tells the witnesses to tell your children what happened he tells every generation asked the previous generation I think when we examine the evidence of Tara you see there was a revelation her see not so what does it mean however when we supposed to have trust as a little eater to have a muna what does a woman mean so you know the moon amis trust means like this the brisk Arab said brisker ruff says it very beautifully the brisker off says we're recent ends the faith begins well I can't understand God's ways that's why I have to trust him that's fake and we're all challenged with that in mind the poisons our life when we look to God and say God I don't understand I'm not you my mind is limited I can't understand the divine line I can't look stem infinite you know God I know that the essence of you is love I know the essence of yours goodness I know that your essence everything that you do is only for the best yep I see two million children died in the Holocaust right and I'm questioning a saint god I have to utilize my faith to trust to understand that how that's a manifestation of your love I don't understand it but I have to use my heart and say God I'm going to trust but if the essence of you is love that also has to be manifestation love and one day we're gonna see it one day I'm gonna understand and that also was was the perfect way to bring about the world perfection its world that's trust ultimately Shaun had a test another Rishon had an intellect which was brilliant he had a mind beyond even we can imagine and had a plan it was his plan he said god I love you so much and to show my love for you I have to eat of the tree I have to bring the game Sahara inside then what was the problem with what I did what was his command for the next so much sense God it makes so much sense I could show my love for you more deeper but the whole eternal eyes that gets Hara it's too easy to love you wanna have any get some heart over there I wanted inside me I want to feel that struggle that challenge like we have you know God system other you know we've trust trust means when you don't understand something you subordinate your limited knowledge to my knowledge of them you're brilliant you're the best student in the class but your test right now was to realize that you have to follow my plan not your plan as good as your plan Mike sound my plan is greater that's trust that's a 1-up so that's where the good man says that God turns to other than just put them you lack trust you like the Mona where reason and speak begins you should have trusted me anything autumn turns back to God and he's broken he's devastated he's blew it you know I blow it I was supposed to have kept the game too hard the outside and now I haven't on the inside and all sudden there are tests and challenges and feelings and emotions that he didn't even expect he would feel and he's devastated I destroyed myself and I betrayed God in the process now listen carefully so you know what God says to God says to like this autumn don't worry I'm gonna fix you up I'm gonna make you whole again I'm gonna correct it all it was like how can you correct it I've destroyed myself I brought the EXR inside me and God turns to bottom it says awesome don't worry it's gonna be all right have a plan we're gonna fix you up we're gonna cure you until you capture me I'm trapped I'm in the Garden of Eden where I can't die I'm in the Garden of Eden where I'm just trapped with my sin forever so God turns to and says ultimately I have a plan I'm gonna send you out of the Garden of Eden I'm gonna get you out of here you don't know gonna do I'm gonna put you in the world I'm going to hide myself and every moment of your life now you're gonna have to work to try to find me you're gonna have to trust me because you're not gonna be able to see me you're gonna have to use your mind and your heart to perceive me because I'm not gonna be visible anymore you're gonna undo that sin of not trusting me by working to trust me in every situation I love who said okay that's great but it's not enough so God turns to insist and not only that you know this aseptic Hotel Collection you're gonna have to work to earn your bread by the sweat of your brow you're gonna have to go into the world and every time you eat something you're gonna have to work to try to get it you have to trust me you have to put a seed in the ground they'd have to pray that that Seas gonna have water and didn't have the ground is gonna nourish it and then fruits gonna come up and the vegetables gonna come up you're gonna have to even the way you eat your foods can only come out because you can trust me another saying that's fine that's great but I'm gonna live forever some exes know of them I have another plan you're gonna die and then point of death you know what happens at the point of death the point of death which every human being experiences it's an amazing amazing point in life you know why it's probably the richest point in life because that point of death when the human being realizes you know what I am not in control death is the greatest kindness that God could bring to the world it's the greatest way for the human thing to give up mastery you know my whole life I feel I'm in control I'm in control of my destiny but there's one point before the two big leaves this world before the soul leaves the world will have to acknowledge you know I'm not in control God it's all you I have to support a NIC myself to you it's all you I have to give myself over to you to kind of sense to other other I'm gonna bring death into the world you're gonna dump me and when you die that the point of death you're gonna completely give up the realization that you're in control what causes you to sin was you thought you were smarter than me but at that point where you're gonna die you're gonna realize how wrong you are but you're gonna fix yourself what it turns back to God what's this is Shannon thank you so much thank you and now we understand something our sages say Aunt Emma reached on often was judged but he was expelled with the merciful sentence see how beautiful this we thought death was harsh no death is fixing out something we thought having to work for your bread was harsh not working for him bread is the way to develop trust we thought God concealing himself as harsh no consider yourself is the way we're often has to constantly work to find God at every moment and build and correct that lack of trust that he had when he chose to eat on the trip and when did this all take place all took place on the first day of the month of Tishri and God says just like other Laurie Jean was judged with the merciful sentence this is the day that I want to choose to judge all of other descendants commences the literacy question when we look at others judgment was others judgment a punishment or fixing what was it a dare sake was entirely a fix it fixed up the problem that ultimate cause on one hand that appears harsh but it's not harsh at all it's the perfect medicine from London to corrective system in fact in this world and get this very clear there's no such thing as punishment in this world rewarding punishment does not exist in school it's not a concept in this world and everything that God brings to us in this world is designed to fix ourselves up so we should get what we have to go so that's what happened on the first day the first judgment was the perfect fixing up the judgment that others received was so merciful because of the exact medicine that he needed to undo the terrible terrible sin that caused it wasn't the punishment and was the medicine and was a t-con it was a fixing so now we understand let's go back to the original questions we have we asked ourselves we said like this God chooses to judge us when none of the last day of the old year but on the first day of the new year do we understand what if the purpose of judgment was punishment okay I might understand why it's better to judge me on the last day of the old year look at the old year and say why did this wrong and this wrong and this go to this hood and judge me you don't give me my reward give me my punishment but if the purpose of judgment is not punishment but the purpose of judgment is correction tacoman is fixing it makes more sense one to judge me on the first day of the new year which means what God looks at the past year to determine what I need for the new year he's looking at the old to see what I need so I could perfect myself in this coming year that's what's happening and that's what Russia shine is a day of joy and gladness I know I'm being judged but kinds judging me so I could perfect myself he's not judging me to punish me who's touching me to punish but you're right I should tremble the whole day I trouble because I've been judged but the same time god I realize what everything you're looking at before is tool is what I need to perfect myself just like nothing received exactly what he needed for his perfection it's wicked judges but if it doesn't exist in this world everything God does it's for the purpose of protecting this all so we shouldn't be getting in till we can get everything we need for eternity that's what's happening here what's going on it's a different day judgment looking at the past to determine what you need for the future this exactly what's going so good might look at the passenger and said look you know I gave you ten thousand dollars of the past year what do you do with it oh boy no you bought that 80 inch television screen right you know with a sense around chairs that's like wiggle every time you know in vibrates name and a robos of smell to come out of the screen so you can really experience it and God said I gave you ten thousand dollars for that you're right here's your money so that's you're off in life you're going the wrong way so God Mike said I gotta take some money away this year because you don't how to use it right same time God man look I gave you $10,000 left here Wow first thing you did with it as you gave 10% to charge this did not come to them right to give 20% then you used it to send your kid Stephen to buy beautiful clothes Rishabh isn't that help people this chair we give you twenty thumbs you really know to use money let me see you orphan God looks at the past help us protect ourselves with future it's like a company you look at the last tooth ledger determine where the company has to go this now it's interesting we said at the beginning that the first thing that we do on the morning rush Hashanah is we jump up in the morning to blow the chauffeur and we no point to the Kavitha then at the point where we blow the chauffeur that's what we're judged and we asked ourselves a question that doesn't make sense guys why are we asking to be judged I don't want to be judged but wait a minute I only don't want to be judged if the purpose of judgments is punishment but if the purpose of judgment is T : is correcting myself it's fixing myself up that's a different messenger let me explain what I mean imagine my little eight-year-old he started bass tackle today imagine she goes to school and she has no problem every time she sees and her friends erasers you know she always has to grab it you know and she sees these shiny rulers she takes it you know and the teacher writes we got a teacher holds me up he says you know your daughter has a problem every time she see stuff that she likes and her friends little knapsack she seems to take it and put it as your naps you know so I said okay I'll deal with it sorry they're in I said look you know your teacher told me that you have a problem with the skills and you have to do something really really harsh about it fact you know those little racers that you love I'm gonna have to take them away for a week now I'm not the racer ah I'm sorry I have to take those races waiver for a week so you should learn what it means not to have what you like if you realize you know what how would you like maybe you won't take from your little friends no that's one scenario the boys in the falling happened before I get that call teacher my little eight-year-old cousin says ha I need to talk to you say sure what you want talking Baba I have a problem with stealing I don't know what to do every time I see something my friend has I just have to grab it and I hate myself for it I don't want to do it but I just I can't stop myself probably you have to help me so you don't I say going I said okay I'm gonna help no we're gonna do we're gonna make a chart on the refrigerator and we're gonna get some stickers and every time you come home from school and you tell me that you didn't take anything from your friends knapsacks we're gonna put a sticker on Monday we'll put a sticker you know could we the Pope and Tuesday we're gonna put Mickey Mouse you know Wednesday we're gonna put Donald Duck at the end of the week if we can see a whole line of Disney characters over there we're to go out to max administer ice cream okay that's a good plan let me see a question how could one the teacher informed me about what you did I have to have a really harsh sentence right I had to take away her eraser but how can when she comes to me first I can have a really sweet sentence a really sweet way of dealing with it what's the difference but she's coming to being sang with me I want to change it that's what I rabbis are saying to us it says when we love the chauffeur would not seek an essay did we sweet to the judgment you know why because we're turning to a shed or saying a shed I understand that I failed this year I understand I'm not perfect but I want to perfect myself a Shem give me what I need that help me I want to blow the strawberry chef judge me they know the purpose your judgment is to correct myself I Shep I wanna be fixed up I don't like where I am right now I know I could be much greater I'm not perfect but I need your help it should help me judge me and look at me and help me to get right now I have to go shelters you want to be judged you want to improve yourself and I can sweeten the judgment I don't have to use that harsh methodology of taking away $10,000 because you didn't use your $10,000 corrected last year you know you look at it differently okay I'm gonna do it totally differently maybe I'll take $100 away I'm $50 a week because I see that you want to be corrected and that's all the difference that difference is tremendous see that's why our sages say we get up early in the morning and we sweep in the judgment my blogging to chauffeur because by blowing the chauffeur was saying to his channel and prove me I want to be improved because I realized the whole purpose of the judgment isn't punishment it's Teague it's improvement literacy question is PC bro the words show fine what is the word shelf army it comes from the same root in Hebrew as sheep or which means improvement leash the pattern is to prove oneself the bully show from his finger said I want to a drove and therefore the judgment that God gives us can be so sweet it's so gentle so love it that's the brush of Chamizal Russia Shannon because the day of judgment is a day when we tremble because yeah our lives are on the line we realized that the same times were rejoicing why because we realize the whole purpose of the judgment is to improve ourselves to fix ourselves up it's a manifestation that God's love for us and then answers I think the questions that we asked number one why is it on the first day of the new year and not the last day of the old year because the last day the old dear would imply punishment the first day of the new year means we look at the old tutor what we need for the new its correction that punishment we realized that other mauricio when he was judged he left with such a merciful judgments it looked so harsh deathly and work right and concealment of God when we analyze we realize no it was so sweet because that's what exactly what Adam needed in order to bring about the correction the destruction he caused in yourself by not having to trust in God and eating of the Apple eating of the fruit rather than trusting God are not eating up and that's the russian-chinese rosh hashanah is the appreciation and the realization that the judgment is for the purpose of correction and improvement and if we want to learn to Din that's good and sweet basically what's our job our job is to show sure that were in the process of correction that I'm correcting myself I'm improving myself and therefore my doing so that's okay see already of the process I can make it very sweet I can look at the past he made some mistakes but I see here at the process you want to change you want to grow that's a much sweeter judgment when we come to God first so speakers say God help me in the process a chef so loving and so kind it says I'm there for you I'm gonna help you I'm gonna make it sweet that's the essence of it and that's the fact you know why we say to sweet you just have a good and sweet here because we realized that the judgment that God gives us all it's good and only sweetie my blessings for everybody there's of course that we should appreciate the power of the time when right now the power of the day the realization that we're going to be judged but the same time the realization that the judgment is only for God's only for the good it's only for God's to look because of God's love for us and if we could sort of anticipate that judgment I say God I'm gonna start the process of fixing up myself we realize that the judgments gonna be so sweet and so good and realize we realize that the Russia shot of the emotion the correct emotion on Rosh Hashanah is joy is the joy in the realization that God loves us so much that he cares about us so much is going to give us exactly what we need in this coming year to bring about the perfection of our souls the perfection the shomers so you can truly merit the light of God understand the Word of God there's lots of Chevys it couldn't go out said it from everything [Applause]
