How to Achieve Atonement on Yom Kippur | Harav Chaim Mintz

[Music] to you all i certainly sincerely hope that we all had an uplifting rosh hashanah and we're praying to god that he did and we'll write us down in that book of life and good things and here we are ready to get unto him kipper the day of forgiveness that god forgives us for the sins that we did if we do chuva if we repent and of course chuva the main points of two are three points number one confession we have to veto we have to say to god we sinned it doesn't just saying it we have to feel god's in front of us we have to have that discomfort of saying hashem we sinned against you you're our creator you created us you give us life and we sin to you so if we feel that way it's not it's just a matter of uttering the word uttering the words i send but we have to see in front of whom we're saying it number two staff of truman which is obligatory it must be done to do truva to have remorse and feel bad for what we did and we have to feel bad how could i have sinned hashem created me he gives me everything i have every day everything gives me life it makes my heart beat and i feel bad that i went against this word that's having remorse feeling bad about it number two person to feel that i put myself down but god created me within the summer with the holy soul elevated me to be above animals by being a human being with the soul within the summer that brings up my body which is physical but it's attached to my new shaman hashem brings up my bodies by sitting we're bringing down the shaman in their body and not only ourselves but we bring down all the jewish nation everybody because we're all connected what we do in aveira do we we are put in a lower state of closest hashem and we bring down the whole cloudy thrill because we're all connected to one another so there's a lot to be upset about having worse about and the third step is we have to be macabre take upon ourselves not to do the sin anymore that we're talking about the problem is that most people on yom kippur they say they sin they say i won't do it anymore but doesn't doesn't take too long before we do the same thing over again year after year and we have to try to not make let not not to let that happen and what we have to think about is we have to try to put ourselves in the situation where we don't face the sin face to face every person in this level of judaism if it's the most person who's uh far from judaism he's not very religious but he wants to keep shabbos but he can't keep away from that smartphone will help somebody want people in the family to hide it away from you so i'll be able to get to it if it's right in front of you you can't resist the temptation if somebody who's trying to keep kosher keep away from those restaurants to have the delicious food and uh once you pass by and smell it it just pulls you right in don't walk down that block or the most committed jew who's trying to keep away from lush and horror from gossip don't answer the phone when you know that gossipy person is going to be on the other side of the phone don't sit down at those with those friends who you know they're going to start talking about everybody in the world and and making fun and so on keep away don't face the challenge and that's how we do chuva we say to hashem this year when i say i won't do it i mean it because i'm going to make sure that i don't face the challenge and won't yet won't be able to get me to do it have a good year everybody we should be forgive us for our sins and write us down in the book of health and happiness [Music]
