Rabbi Mordechai Kraft - When Judging is Loving

as Rosh Hashanah approaches just like a share of an idea that I hope we'll have meaning to the day and give us a little bit of direction as to really what our job is on this unit the Rosh Hashanah is a very unique day in which it's difficult to know what's the proper emotion on the one hand we're supposed to be trembling it's judgment it should have scrutinizing our past at the same time it sits a day of rejoicing we're eating meals we're we're supposed to wear our fine clothing we're supposed to rejoice in good wine and good meat says the prophet tells us King David the master of emotions sums it up for us and defines it very beautifully when he says the emotion is rejoice in the fury on the one hand we have to tremble there has to be a rhodon but on the other hand we have to realize that we're trembling before the one who loves us so much and is so interested in our past year is going to look at us so carefully and to understand this we really have to go back the sixth day of creation and see what happens when other varishan ate from the AIDS eat from the tree was in fact judged next we know that another region of the garden had one command the command was not to eat to the tree of the AIDS of Das the tree that connects good and evil that intensifies desire as we say the tree was a challenge some say it was a challenge of sensuality the adverb somehow is a challenge of emotion some sort of grapes some said was a challenge for Honor which thinks since it was intellectual test bread whatever the test was we know it was a difficult one consequence for the failure was that other was expelled from the Garden of Eden forced now to be in a world where Hashem hides just take his bread off the tree he has to work for a living Souls can be concealed and yet our same just saying looking at this consequence he left with such an equitable sentence a good sentence so so some good and just [Music] no longer can he just go to the tree and take the bread from the tree in fact we're reminded of what the tree did look like at the Garden of Eden when we say about Hashem you're the one who brings forth bread from the earth straight from the earth from the tree it's the Garden of Eden dollar can he see his soul the confusion who am I really and of course that he went from a world that seems so good to a world it seems cold and I said you say no that was such a good sentence and looking at what Autumn did sower offers us an Insight which is so fascinating it says that Autumn knew what he was doing he knew that when he would eat from that tree he would intensify the desire of himself he understood but what he wanted to do was to drop a level to say Hashem from my confusion I can still love you it's too easy to love you and I can see you when you're available I want to show my love I want to prove my love and so he easily doesn't tend to fight obviously they get some horror from the outside because it's on the inside and there is confusion and Hashem turns to him and says other Minato you lack Faith you like Trust I know I knew that would be a possibility for you I know it made sense but your test was to trust me you just wants to trust me even when you didn't understand kimono really means for reason ends Faith begins Autumn you didn't trust but that wasn't turns to a shaman says you're right what have I done to myself I've brought that yet so hard to the inside I have confusion I don't know what's right and wrong anymore I I'm I'm broken and we can imagine the conversation with Adam and Hashem it might have sounded something like this autumn I'm gonna make you whole again I'm gonna repair you but to do so I have to get you out of this Garden this Garden is toxic for you I have to put you in a world where I'm going to hide so you have to learn to trust I have to put you in a world you have to plan to see the ground but we grow and dive in and Pray For Rain and proper climate you're gonna have to trust for your bread put you in a world we're gonna have to trust who you really are and you're really in the Shema I want you to want that your death is ultimately that moment for all forces in life precipitates my money can't help me my body wants body can't help but one's connections one has to give up that's for trust completely awesome I'm gonna repair you look at that and that's why to tell us what the Shem says on the day when I judged Autumn and I gave him a sentence which was so good so Equitable so perfect for his repair I want to utilize the state to judge my world in order that I should give you exactly what everything further to repair that part of themselves that make themselves hope that's the Rosh Hashanah is a chef is looking at our past not to push I was looking at our past to see what we need going forward in fact that's why it's on the first day of the new year not the last day of the old year it's forward-looking the rosh hashan is the head of the year it's giving direction to the year and what's our job on this day our job is to get up early I want to be judged who would want to be judged certainly an earthquake we understand the purpose of judgment is repair the more we turn to a shadow we say to Hashem I want to be that person that you know I can be shows it back to us so I get bobtick as it did his wife I said this year should be a year where Hashem gives us a sweet judgment and our job in Russian is to let us know we do want that prepared I do want to be the dead person doing so the repair should only be sweet it should only be a goodness that we can taste the year for us [Music]
