Chodesh Elul: Looking Forward To An Even Better Year - Rabbi Simcha Bunim Cohen

like to welcome everyone to tonight's share tonight's here we have the cover tab with us once again we have simple but i'm currently to of course good luck together to uh [Music] or to have an ad in the ignition return journal last minute ad and honor the dinner this wednesday call english entire seven one eight eight five one eight six five one or email ist at yeshivanet.com [Music] asking from you right getting a clear instruction from that's to follow hashem's ways now you have to know where hashem's ways are anybody spend one minute yet on this poster to know what behold the rock of means i didn't and then the have always said to love it's another thing so what do we have already have to fear hashem after going all his ways to love him and to serve him and then to now is there anything more you could ask from before person yes everything it says i'm only asking like i'm giving you a bargain only he's asking you so many things of it is there anything more you could ask do all my mitzvahs that's enough already love me fear me and that's ki m kim is always a lotion that that's it it seems to be that there could be more i don't have a terrace to discuss it maybe you want to say the turrets you could say and the people maybe hear it somewhere you hear the kasha i asked many people discussion they said it's uh most of them didn't think of it and now i can't answer you to kasha because i don't know the turrets but how could you be mekaim all these things so the gemara dash as everybody knows the messages it says that you have to say a hundred barracudas a day so it seems to be that igumar is teaching us that the passage is telling the morris teaching us that how could you achieve lyra is by saying brahmas a day right they say a hundred bucks a day so you automatically you'll have you'll be able to fulfill this tall order what the person tells us now haru you for full this posik all these conditions of loving fearing by saying a hundred brokers so i'll quote you what a safer says this cipher was in the times of the riyakada she writes it's only and it says when you should start accounting the counting starts at night when do you count the 100 brokers from you start from morning from let's say tomorrow's tuesday morning you go from tuesday morning to wednesday morning or you go from monday night to tuesday night so it's amazing this safer holds that you start by night the night by my roof you ready to start the counting that's why held you shouldn't make early shabbos one of the reasons i think he said was because you're missing out all those brothers and shabbish anyway missing out broken because the shamanistic gets sliced into if so if you make early shabbos those brokers are going to friday so you're missing four burgers of a krishna the seven brokers of shimmers the this i am kidding if you bench before says see missing that so you don't have the hundred rockers so that's the reason why you should make late javas and ello in my shoe we don't make early shabbas already want to try make believe with doom chuva so this week shabbos we don't make early shabbos already it's only 7 20 so this is used to count on shabbos and when he hit the 100th bracha a smile was on his face because he reached his goal onion kipper he didn't reach his goal from 100 brokers every shabbos he took mafta because after you have one you have a bunch of brokers on yom kipp he took levy because he wasn't gonna get he wasn't gonna get to his hundred brothers anyway see figure if he doesn't get it let him get laid and give him after to somebody else if ham kenievsky holds know that even if you can't get to a hundred you should get as close as you can to anja and yum kipper now he says over here like this the 100 brachas he says starts at night and it should be to be counted after i have a mind hashem fitting to be in the count how many times do i say shackle me a bit varick and i don't think one second what i'm saying [Music] it can be considered for a sin um [Music] he says it with kavanagh so when you have a sadiq you have to love that sad because you were living on the merit of the tsadikim now comes out like this if a person says a hundred brachas a day and he realizes when he has pure shameless the simple meaning not a sog is beyond our comprehension so automatically he'll start fearing because he realizes that the abhishek gives him everything and they'll start loving too because look what i could just gives me it gives me so much so if a person say i'll give you a simple eight so what you should do buy yourself a little pad not on your phone if only for other things buy yourself a little pad and write down mark your brothers not shim and i said that's too much we're not going small steps and your market you'll see it'll make a tremendous ratio the days people do it they tell me that 100 block has come out talking about the british monastery to mock yourself but you say with vary and then you have to mock yourself so before you'll say it you already think you're ready what you're saying or you say birdie priya ate so you say but she gives you eyesight you know what eyesight is enough to explain you and you mark yourself on ten brachas a day you'll see eventually you'll start saying because i know by myself the days i don't mark myself i strike out and even the days i do mark myself i also strike out i'm planning about sometimes i get at 80 percent sometimes i fail 60 and when i went to school below 65 was failing and you're just making yourself but if you don't keep a hajj then it's not going to unless you're from the sadiq already which you know you're not massive that's from the so that's the beginning a good cabal of elu can make two to can accept upon ourselves big kabbalahs because they usually don't list and we forget about them but this cabal is a simple couple so take a pit get yourself a pair it costs 39 cents go to staples and buy yourself a paid and start my habit in your pocket or shake packet is and you'll see it'll make a tremendous relation and you'll become you start realizing what hashem gives us you'll be afraid of hashem now being afraid of hashem is very difficult in america because we're not afraid of nobody today so how could you if somebody be afraid of hashem even though hashem is doing things what are very strange and difficult which we never had since it's it's twofold we never had it so good since since hormone-based amygdals in gas we never had so much gas miss yet he had so much gas means nobody had something in europe there are a few grim a big town had a few rooms the small towns had only poor people they didn't have what they eat today nobody goes hungry the government's giving out boxes there's enough there's if you're hungry go to a wedding you can eat there there's no sodas or food and still in all and the vulnera says in dora from which is now we're in the time frame of when meshich is coming nobody knows the ones who know don't say and the ones who say don't know so when he's coming and i took a poll i took a poll random people and i asked him when do you want me to come if the bana's man after the summer or during the summer so it depends the ones who were suffering from cancer ahmadu latslan or other sicknesses said they want him right away the ones who had planned trips this one was going to africa this one was going to switzerland now you don't know when moshiach's coming if he's going to let you go to switzerland i don't know i never asked him yet but you're going to have to have you're going to for sure have to have permission if you want to go somewhere today you want to go you pick yourself up you book a ticket and you go where you want i think my humble opinion is could be a hundred percent wrong you don't have to listen to me because i don't know but i think it's gonna be low enough do you under i ask the people so most people told me honest people we'd rather have them after the summer because we bought the tickets already and we have now if you think about it deep into mine you see how true it is because we don't like change change now i know exactly nobody could tell me i could come late to daven i could do what i want i could fight do what you want today it's a free-for-all so the real mcgregorian says and dor iqv is going to be like this it's going to be a superficial dart there's going to be learning nons like we never had yet when i was growing up in the east side there was only one yi feinstein a few other people today every person is finishing sha's america's art school helps you out with music without art school people wouldn't be finishing sha fest and uh and he says the the ruchnes is going to be superficial dr will nagoyan it's going to be a superficial it's going to be superficial it's it's not going to be real genuine real i want to tell you what genuine real means so you should not have sago the way it was there was a yeshiva mira yeshiva what landed up in shanghai you heard of that everybody knows so there was a bach there called the bruvain fine he became later rashashiven torivadas he was 16 years old when he came to shanghai i want to read you what he writes but he himself wrote and then you'll see what real toyota means now i'm not complaining but this is the way the the the matisse is going to be and when the torah is not coming from the in from nim it doesn't change the person i know people many people are finishing shas but they're the same people is supposed to make you a different person you're supposed to think different act different and live differently is like fire and water if you have a love for gossip we're not saying you should eat like to have stray man ate a little i don't know what he ate a day what he ate in the day he ate nothing come out we're not on that madre but food became an entity in itself and there's no place up in meats you advertise a big piece of meat seven feet long and five inches wide you eat finish you gotta eat i'm enjoying that i'm not saying you shouldn't eat meat for sure you should eat meat but it became an entity in itself you know i never eaten a restaurant in my life yet and i'm pretty overweight you don't have to eat the rest of it it's food drinking became also bars you go to a wedding there's a bar you're finishing shasta and you have a ball it's not real you know why it's not real because i have to tell you a little secret i'm going to get back to the roof and find because without learning musa you can't become real who learns musa today almost a real muslim like you know oh you shocked when you say it means me not you learn the muslim you say it means the other guy no it means [Music] so i tried to bring it up so my uncle was a massage i remember the last mata staffer of i said what every daffodil she should have five minutes in the beginning of this year we must have five minutes in the middle of this year five minutes at the end of this year come to the next world first of the episode how could you climb the ladder of shlainen can you explain me that you don't want to know khabib salvages but at least mashiel man 65 years old never learned machine leash and his hand couldn't convince me you don't have to convince me you go out and convince hashem so listen to the proven fine you want to hear what the removing fine writes so an average day in the summer there was no air conditioning it was 122 fahrenheit the oppressive heat drained people of their strength and sapped them of the energy there were days in which chiba was so weak they had no strength to walk to the bismarck in the base iron shiver hubble there instead due to the war there was a war going on the local authorities dictated at certain times all windows had to be shuttered and closed and because of that the homes became obvious with the temperature reaching an unbearable 158 fahrenheit 158 for night the sweat poured forth from their bodies drenching the talmudim's clothing as i took the bath the beads of sweat dripped down on the on the foreheads causing the eyes to burn the droplets also fell onto the pages of the gemara and soaked them so in order to prevent the sweat from blurring the ink of the pressure zerbakram would take towels and cover the next line the coaster the water was often contaminated they had to boil the before drinking but due to the excessive heat the water never cooled off and it was difficult to drink the lukewarm water in order to keep hydrated okay despite the difficult circumstance circumstances 158 fahrenheit the one thing they tried to do was to learn torah and incredibly despite the in these these conditions they strike rebruva in the bruven described the harvest with passion and emotion he spoke about the wonder of every person had a chance to learn from it one night my turn came on friday night road reproven so instead of sleeping i learned the famous subcrime on a certain suggest i used 28 towels to soak up the sweat 28 towels to soak up the sweat i learned that friday night from six in the evening until the rays of the sun rose the next morning i never experienced anything sweeter just hey skeletor that was when and they said he writes how did we accomplish that so he says we had a masjid haskell who poured us with muslim hashgraph that he was the one the driving force behind the bakr imagine you stay up friday night and you have to soak you have to use 28 towels to wipe yourself from the sweat in shanghai and this is not 1600s 1500s this is in 1945 46. what no ac no ac was 158 degrees and that's that's the way they learned toyota he says he learned to attract salvage seconds say they started at about three o'clock in the afternoon sometimes it went to 2 a.m besides maire does that's when it comes from panemias then it's a different learning of torah now we're living in a land where there's so much gas means and there's no stop there's no end and if kashmi is asthira so what could we expect so i'm happy that all of them show me shabbos i look up at islam as great people with so much kashmir's everybody's united stand want to go there to throw wanted to go to ancestral did he make it no it's a guy tells me what i need monsieur i go to ancestral i go to the koi so i have whatever i need the carbonus i need i don't like blood he tells me is there a yearning for mashirch to come because we want to stay in away this hashem but if you don't have a dogma in your mind of greater people then you think you attack a great and you are great but there is so much more to get and that's what we're missing without the base amigdas without the navium again and people are satisfied i did i'm finishing shas i did the marxist seven times already did you ever decide once that you want to learn toysvis and horuvanaptosis you're capable everybody's capable i tell the people in my school pay a yeshiva man on sunday to learn with you for three hours be ian yeah you're capable do the daft too don't get me wrong but that became the whole learning that's not and that's not the way it's supposed to be now we're holding soon please don't don't start with all yet you know it's uh let us live los lam now in the olden times when they bench described so i just read that when they said he trembled his whole body you saw somebody tremble this week in shul no probably trump we're not gonna travel next week either we're not gonna tremble why the world's coming the world's coming the the world is is not stable one from one day to the next day it's getting worse and worse what things what were unimaginable which we couldn't imagine 50 years ago is muthu today the morality of the country is in the red the president and you think you're safe i'm telling you you're in big trouble maybe still warns us slowly but there's nobody talking about it because the people just want to be patted on the back the whole time how great you are you know how great you are you don't even know how great you are i'll tell you why you're great because you have to tell them other kid this man right here has set a mother came on his face who said that to humus says he can't argue with the hormones you want to argue with me told me he was by a human being he worked on it his whole life scalability was the country has gone down to tubes the liberals are taking over there's no right or wrong there's nothing there's nothing left nothing it's scary but nobody's scared it's scary there's no yirah there's no year from nobody and then the hebrews that took away such sadiq recently took away the quran we forgot that we had the god ladder [Music] learn 17 hours a day at the end of his life and he moved into a one room so he said that from his living room he could stick his hand into his bedroom from his bedroom and he had everything in the world and he gave up everything so missing that too i want to tell you a story with raburi zara you should know there was a big godly stroll called rablib steinerman you heard of him right he was left a few years ago he had a friend yeah in his building there was a few families one of the families was an adam was a son-in-law for the beast of sholem alayashev his name was rolsum his wife is a daughter from the reason why i tell stories about sadiq first of all it motivates you it motivates you that there's more you could do and then it makes you feel good you belong to our nation with such great people big indian safer rights [Music] i want to say why because it makes you feel good you belong to a nation but has such great people anyway son-in-law lives in that building and this younger man lipa is rolsum who comes a lot to america and became very good friends with him writes a story as follows refsteinerman told him he comes to america a lot he needs he collects for certain voices if steinmen told him libelo if you find somebody in america who's happier than me you get a million dollars cash and if stamen had the money because he kept people gave him money to give out the moistures and it did key for scaff and you want to make sure that you mean it stuck out of saying to this and said one million dollars cash if you find somebody in america who's happier to me you're going to meet the rich people and it takes him around this little house i don't know if you're ever there i was never in his house but people showed me pictures he takes him to his k refrigerator he had one yogurt with a half of bread nothing there says i have enough food right then he takes them to his closet and shows them two cup patties once for a week there's one just so i have two jackets one for weekdays one for shop then he shows him his kitchen pots and pans hanging from a nail two parts three dishes he says in kashmir's have everything and ruknis i'm trying trying my best but remember lipolo if you come to america you find they give here you get a million dollars cash so he comes to america he says going to the airport he tells me and he's thinking the whole time and gosh means i have everything in ruthless i'm trying my best he should have been the forget and ruknis i'm i have everything guys because i don't have anything he comes to america he starts reaching rich people and after each and every rich person after a while he's a very friendly person they open up them oh you have such a rough life this song is off the direct ones from guivir take away did you find anybody happier than me nope the deal's on the next time second time he comes to america and he meets in the street urui zoa and he tells raburi zoa i made a deal with raf damon so he says you want you're getting the million dollars i'm happier than if because of stayman always knew what gomorrah was he's holding from when he was born i was on the other side of the fence for me a piece of gemara is much more exciting than afghani because he always had excitement how much commission do you want yes i said you could keep the million dollars a minute later he runs after him says no every person needs somebody who when he thinks of that person it gives some yiddish you have to have a dogma you have to have a picture this is the person i want to be like this is the yiddish mime person who i want to emulate if you don't have a living person who you want to emulate so you attack you stay the way you are you attack it good but you don't strike anyway he tells them no you lost the money you're not getting the million dollars why because my person thought when i see that stamen sitting in our shaman sat on his high riser and he had a wooden bench holding his back and he said like that always only a person what's so intoxicated with a kurdish borough full of yiddish jeremiah can sit like that so he's happier than me and you lost your million dollars so we lost a man what showed us that this world is nothing and it's only toyota and yiddish and then we lost the big sadiq kalam advocate 63 years old and the world is so shaky and people go about like nothing's happening what's the shot is because we don't stop to think closeumbergarabba said when world war ii was starting he went around from kihilo tequila begging the people dude chuva the abyss is going to do something real bad and everybody at the galactic they laughed at him closer you don't know what you're talking about and what happened at the end you don't you know the end of what happened absolutely destroyed the whole europe so we have to keep in mind now and khoi desal was coming to which the high autumn and the swaram say as such precious days the vilna goyin writes that what you could accomplish you can't accomplish in rosh hashanah will negotiate with and that's why the eight sahara is so powerful and that's why in most years vacation comes out in heidi now if you ask me my humble opinion khoydich l is not a time to vacation is the time to to try to motivate yourself now i want to tell you two reasons why it's so important that heidi's idol should be a changed month besides the school we're coming out today for a new year one give us another year who doesn't want to live everybody wants to live right so when you have so if when you want to find favor in somebody's eyes at least a few weeks before you're asking him for a big favor you behave you want to ask somebody for a big favor you need a hundred thousand dollars so you want to say you have to be in good terms with him before you comfort alone so you try to be polite to him we're coming to the start and we're asking him give me another year hashem and not only me i want my children whoever your family friends so at least one month beforehand behave then there's a positive as follows there's a positive impassioned shifting not this week's parachute next week's parachute said it made that the world has to roam with me the sadden too it's not a half giveaway we think it's a half kabul but you don't get away with nothing when you do something wrong hashem pays back if you do something good he pays back no good deed goes without reward and no not good deeds gets out gets away scot-free sometimes davis upon this is in this world you're lucky if you get punished in this world if not you get punished in the world of truth there's no such thing the abstract is not a bathroom i know we're living in a century now with only positive love now that was a hormone because you can't rebuke anybody today you can't give a smack even a little smack because they'll sue you and they'll put you in jail for that right when i was growing up i'll tell you a story when i was a kid that's a hundred years ago so the latest minion in the east side was a quarter tate today you go to rabbi landau 9 10 you didn't have that in the east side the lady everything hashem everyone the minion factory minion one after not the east side you missed the quarter tate the bayala stucco shoe was the latest minion finished so i overslept it was already quarter to eight my father was something true he took a freezing cold cup of water spilled it on my face 54 years later i never came late to dove because i had a cup of water so my father's sitting in the world of truth and it's benefiting that i come on time to dive now now if you do that today don't do that today because your son will punch you in the face but there was jiren my father spilled a cup of water so we don't have no more so what do we expect from the people and yeah it's only positive talk positive positive positive so i want to ask you something did you ever write a letter you see a boy in school learning ben asman you ever take a pen and paper and write him a letter oh i saw you learn and put in a five dollar book and encourage him if it's only positive talk so why don't you ever say to the rabbi hey you spoke a good russia finally i'm listening to you for 42 years and you finally said positive notes ever do that if everybody's busy with positives so be positive so we lost we lost the whole thing we dug our own hole don't say it is and don't say that and don't say this and don't say that because you know the kid told his mother recently a mother told herself mother was rebuking a kid for something but he did didn't hit says so the kid said i'll become a fry you do this again i'll just throw a take off my armor that's what a kid could tell a mother how old the eight-year-old kid knew that everybody get it from he reads the newspapers so so what's going to be the myself so listen to this ramban yourself you'll live that means if you start taking inventory and you look at your deeds and you start saying i'm doing dinner myself i'm judging myself a little bit on this a little bit on this a little bit this yeah you'll live so that amban is giving us aids how to live as a ghouler it's not you don't have to pay any money for it and you don't have to do you don't have to travel no offer you don't have to travel you just got to read the ramban inside ambassador sheriff said except the teardive run after righteousness in order you should live so the ramban's giving us an answer how to get another year so the first aids is find favor in hashem's eyes it's time you want to ask him for a favor you find favor hashem says the second answer is do a little din start making a little bit start making a little accounting like we said before if you start in your brachas that's the 100 breakfast breakfast do breakfast tomorrow i don't know what you're eating for breakfast tomorrow whatever you're eating you'll see it makes a tremendous relation now also another good advice is the the rebellion says the mission says what would you say no the mission says this fellowship let me quote you [Music] yes yeah revenue and write some of the non-jews he says he doesn't love you have to love what you're doing you have to start learning how to love tadavan you love tadaan imagine you know how many people wrapped up ham kenievsky to just get a half a minute from him and get a bracha and they did it with just just do you have a zest when you come to darwin chakras in the morning i have a supposed to talk to the abused as long as i want by the time after a minute they threw you out if you're lucky you got a minute the hebrew still let you stand for two hours from an esther and he's listening you have to love davny but we got a problem and this i offered them i am i tried to get this pushed through by the matsuda but nobody listens to me does anybody teach peter shamila's if i would know what i'm doing i would be excited about darwini rabbi miller told me once that after he dives davinci doesn't have to eat breakfast he's intoxicated with such love feelings to kurdish he had a discussion with hashem and he he only eats breakfast in the morning after diving because that's his but he doesn't have to eat because when you get very excited you don't have to eat you'll see when you're marrow for child a lot of times you can't eat because your adrenaline the soul is overloaded when he dab and it was overloaded you have to love davening who loves davening for most of us that's you know we do do it but you love you're waiting i can't wait for my rift tonight i can't wait for my roof tonight i can't cancel ever had that problem yet when you start loving something then it becomes part of your in it becomes part of your insides and that's why sadiqum they say the hazanish put more melis in davening than in learning was the biggest omul but and when he there's times the people who testify they didn't make abraha because he was so up keswakthum was learning that he didn't have the kawana to say hashem's name with the prabhakarwana and he had to drink us he loves he loves what he's doing and how do you love when you do when you study this subject when you study what akrishboroku does for you like we started off in the beginning you'll start loving hakodesh barco you'll take a love first of all we have it so good in america i'm not saying we don't have saurus but we have food you have an air conditioner there was such a hot summer imagine you wouldn't have air conditioning you ever say hashem wants thank you for the air conditioning they even we did the shoelaces a little bit i don't recognize it they redid it everything is you have a house you have a bathroom in your house you ever say thank you for your bathroom in your house today in the morning once today you say it once said thank you for the bathroom in your house no no you know it means if it wouldn't be street lights in the street and you have to go to an outhouse after a full meal try it out you can't even try it out because the street lights there's so much to be grateful taco this morning for but you have to become a thinking person and we don't can't think today because technology i'm not going against smartphones you could have 18 of them i don't care what you have but they don't let you think when you're walking in the street instead of talking to hashem you're talking on the phone so the few minutes what you have is already used up already you can't think while you're learning then you're learning and when you do it when you're eating eating so when do you think when you walk but if you're busy talking on the phone the whole time so you don't have time to think about you all you should have a successful the biggest broker i could give you should have a successful l you should stay by an l take it seriously learn musa every day five minutes there's so many swarm in english that you can learn today if you can't learn yourself this is showroom in english art school has it in english rather miller has in english this has been english make it your business a little harder to learn by yourself that's just easy to save it make it you once a person that rascal said if a person doesn't take out a muslin l he's telling the aviation i don't want him to change so just buy one i give it cooler cool it means the leniency just buy it go don't open it just buy it and put on your living room table you have a must save that's the first move you never got such a cooler yet did you everybody says you got to learn i'm telling you just buy it once you buy it already then you might open it at least five minutes a day ten minutes late it changes your life i thought i was gonna dive in mario before i didn't know they didn't tell me there wasn't a near miner for before and my my drive is waiting so i i'll have to end it a few minutes early my college boss will bench you all you should have a a year with absolutely some claudia stroll we need desperately rachma shamayim we don't have these dolum what we had 50 years ago even 25 years ago 30 years ago when i was growing up there was a major feinstein it was the outside is tonight there were so many great great people we have khashoggi we don't have these great great people you have the you have the remnant forever you know the limits for hours used to rolling ashes every night for mikdash we don't have this eat no more it's mamish like the gemara says in the end of saffron a principal told me he picked up a towel paper from the floor so a kid are you the janitor here he tells the principal there's no there's no limits today the hood and it's by adults too it's it's i mean i'm a rabbi i get plenty of comments from people i would have never said that to my rabbi 50 years ago or if i would have my father would have chopped my head off today you don't like what he says fighting so much i was once standing with her misha feinstein in the living room at 473 fdr drive it goes back 40 something years ago he told me meshich was supposed to come so i asked him what happened why is he not
