The First Mitzvah - Rosh Chodesh Chanukah & Parashat Bo

[Applause] foreign I see a lot of converts that uh maok Hashem are amazing but once in a while you see ones that are like off they're very angry very angry people they're upset that Army sale is not almost should have been they're upset that everyone is not excited and celebrating the coming of the mashiacheni day they're they're upset that everyone is not as zealous as that but it gets to a point where they start hating Army slave they started becoming self-hating people and this is very dangerous so one of the most important things that were reminded by oshkodesh is that Hashem as his own timing and his timing is not always the same thing as our time if you look in a book of Exodus for a short book chapter 12 we see that Hashem gives us well before we get the Ten Commandments before we get Shabbat before we get all 630 meters okay what's the rush what's such a big deal about this whole shortage beginning of a month wow that's to me tomorrow that's the first means why you want to give us maybe you want to give us Shabbat shabbat's the foundation of the Torah says a Judah doesn't keep Shabbat it's considered 100 an idol worshiper that's a big meets wrong give that number one why don't you give wake me up it's one of the Covenants feline give kosher give Target if a woman is not willing to keep keep she doesn't she the husband is not only allowed to divorce her instantly but she doesn't get to get the uh the October there's no marriage why don't you make that the first pizza no no he says so hazal explains to us that in the times of the Greek persecution that we had invisible they unlike the Romans that were trying to destroy us as people the Greeks were trying to purely just destroy the religion David told us listen we'll pay you money to leave Judaism we'll make you Governors we'll make you politicians we'll make you whatever you want just stop being Jewish we ain't listened so they started forcing us to do it and by forcing us they made us stop keeping certainly till they outlawed a certain a few minutes votes one of the three meets fought that they decided to outlaw the celebration of wash to the Greeks knew some Kawai here they weren't just ignorant people they decided to Outlaw Rajesh why Outlaws for this because this is a reminder and everything has its time even though Hashem told us to celebrate pesach he didn't say just celebrate president whenever you feel like it says it has to be in a spring so you can't just decide to celebrate PESA in December he said what has to come 49 seven weeks plus one day after PESA you can't just decide to celebrate on a third day of peso because you're so excited and zealous or celebrate six months after pesach you can't just do Hanukkah in uh the middle of the year just because you feel like it everything has its time why does everything has its time Hashem says you need to connect to me the way that I know is the best way to connect the certain times of the year that require a specific type of connection there's a daily connection that you do with going to pray every day you have maybe perhaps your own personal prayer that you do if you do it for the dude or any personal affair but that's your daily on top of it anytime you learn you connect to Hashem you have your day-to-day stuff according to the Banning Sky if you study Torah on Shabbat it's worth 1 000 times more than the Torah you study on a weekday foreign this is a very special day it says even then it's not young people it's not that has a different time that's a different time and you have to know that that time put it there for some reason so when the green the Greeks decided to remove rosh Hodes what were they really trying to do we're trying to remove the Hebrew calendar the biblical calendar because they knew that without us celebrating the holidays at a specified time we can't celebrate them which means that we can't have this connection with Hashem we missed our connection Judaism is gone and this is the reason why Hashem decided he said before I give you the details of everything that you need to do or the mitzvot all the wonderful holidays all of them everything and anything you have to know rule number one everything at a specific time now why is it so important to us even on a day-to-day basis we're not celebrating all schools every day because you see many times people get very very upset when Hashem doesn't dance to there too David Chivas six months ago they already think they should become Bill Gates Warren Buffett and Eddie Lampard all on the same bank account on top of that the meaning and married to the greatest human being that ever lived after them why could they see keeping you about six months and if everything doesn't work out that way like I I don't know if this religion thing is working for me first and foremost you have to understand Hashem doesn't work for you it's a very very important rule to know he does not work for you he's not here to serve you it's the opposite you're here to serve him second of all just like he had patience for you for 30 40 50 60 years until you finally did you write and finally started keeping one real meat spot and he didn't kill you like you were supposed to according to his Torah he said yes and someone said could have killed us a long time ago when we did the first film Shabbat we give you more times and more time and more time more time because you know that at 36 years old you're finally gonna do two by 56 years old you can find on YouTube up to give you time now you're complaining about him after you're only giving him six months so we have to adjust our clocks a little bit the second and even more important thing is to understand that Hashem has a different clock than we do meaning that he's only going to give us what we need when we need it and not necessarily what we want when we want it and there's a very big difference between the two [Music] let me know uh what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn to
