Maharal Shiur Parshas Nitzavim and Rosh Hashanah by Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger

We're ready. Good evening my Rabbi Sai. We're almost at Rashashana few days. We just finished Sed Nazikin and we just finished Makus. The gammorra in hyius bay about one page before the end talks about the simonyim talks about the simonyim that we eat rash I'll quote you the gmorrah first and then we'll see the maharal plus because the mara gives a little bit rounds off what the maral says let's see Now that you have told us the has said that make a difference of but they change it. You should be used to eating berhat at the beginning of the year. Tara, Rubia, Karti, Sila, Tamry. Five different things. The gourd, the select, the beats, the tamarim, the leak. Five different things, says the marash. So on this page, if you have it, it's right over here. Here's where it is. I knew you would be here. Now that you say, may you have one else over here. Why is a gourd? It's a simmon that you shall grow. that are getting that are coming out. He'll take away all of the sins. if you eat these five things on Russ explaining the gor it's a good sign if you eat something you're internal you can't get closer to that it becomes part of you and don't say that this is something small. When avi would get a sham, the Ramban already explained at length over there that when the would send the to the Nvi, so it would be it had it was a prophecy of what will happen and then the Nvi was instructed to do something to bring that hashbah and actualize it to start so it begins to develop in this world. So whether it was he says whether it was attacking someone you shot arrows in that direction the no that's the now listen so since is a thing and it's realist [Music] shut the mouth of all those that say add about sadikim. [Music] They say how you let go and eat how to go and do right the capus with the chicken. It's not true. It's a good sim when it's appropriate. This is halfway through the mar and then he goes to the next piece and explains how and what they actually represent. Before we get there, we're a little stuck. The maral told us that there are who say that this is but he doesn't explain. He just says it's a good simmon. So what's the why is it not the Garra says that you're not allowed to be superstitious says in San if a person's eating bread and it falls down and he says oh this means this and this sign it's if a person a black cat walks in front of you and you say that that that's bad luck or a mirror breaks all those things are new is what's this all right then you go ahead and you eat this or this is not a sim or you go admit the chicken that's not a sim that's not why not the mar asks this kasha and he tackles it and that's why in tonight's maral we're going to do a mar right before this gimra with there was a gor right before that also a rashana gimra the gimmorra says for those of you who learn dafi it's probably pretty familiar. You just had it a couple of days ago. The Gimmorra says, "If a person I'll read you the Gimmorra, if a person would like to know if his year will be successful or not." Literally, if you're going to make it, says the Gimura, there's a way to find out in health and have >> everything. In everything. >> Yeah. Watch. I'm going to show you. If a person, it's a if a person wants to know if his going to get the urinat in a house where the wind is not blowing. If it the wind if there's no wind, if the lamp, if the candle burns all the way down and doesn't extinguish early, then you're going to make it all the way to the end. We're case number one. the he wants to go to business. Is it going to be or not? What should he do? He should breed some chickens. If it's good, it's he wants to go on the road. The roads were dangerous. pirates list this wherever they went. Is he gonna make it back? Go into a dark house not completely black. If you see the shadow of the shadow, you're going to come back and he's going to come back on that. So let's eat these foods on rash. So the basis of this gimar is this the mar but this is lighting the candle what's going on how are you allowed to do this so the mar is in here right it's a first I think in that we did it's and we have to learn so I even put numbers by it so that you could see it easily by number one It says it says, "Am I going to make it or not?" But if you paid attention to the Gmorra, it only says, it only says do this and if it's good. But it doesn't say if it extinguishes, you won't make it. It doesn't say if the chicken doesn't grow and doesn't it won't make it. It doesn't say that. It doesn't say the second half, right? Why if he wants it only says the So what's the two lines below? Why isn't there a problem of isn't this? Look at point number two. Underline I wanted to is superstitious right like which is so what's going on you're going to learn a lesson it's appropriate for the beginning of the year from the comes is only good. Never does come from heaven means the source of life. I we don't always get it. We don't always get the ter because we get in the way of ourselves. We get in the way of the that could come to us and we stop it sometimes from coming. [Music] That's the worry. Our sins [Music] which is going to come. What do you get in the way of your own for for heaven's sakes? The is not doesn't want to pull his punches. He wants to give you everything. Aar now says this says the marau there's a rule when it comes to nava. When the just sends a navua with a na'vi and the nvua is a good navua that nva is going to happen no matter what. Even if the person sins and doesn't deserve it you got it. If however it's avu then you can do chuva. That's the whole story with no ya didn't want to go because ya said I know what you're going to do. You're going to tell them it's going to turn over, right? And what's going to happen afterwards? And then it's right because when the says it's going to happen and it's that's only so they should do chuva. So says the we're still underlined by number two because things could change around. Therefore based on that when the Garra says that if a pitha falls or the glass breaks or the cat crosses you it's going to be ra that's nikush. You mean you tell me something bad's going to happen? That's wrong and that's user because bad can always change. Do you know what it says in our says the marsh? It says if you want to know you're going to make it, I'll tell you what you can do. Light the candle. If the candle stays lit, you made it. If it doesn't, it doesn't mean you're going to die. Cuz it doesn't say in the Garra that if it extinguishes that you're It says in the Gmorrah one thing. If it stays lit, you're going to live. If it extinguishes after you could do chuva, you could do chuva. You can change it. Let's see it inside. Number three, a second line. If it doesn't happen, right? So then you don't know if it's lit. You're good to go. If the chicken goes big, you're good to go. If it doesn't, you want to make sure. So do something. >> No, you're not good to go. But if you shop, >> you know, for a for a hat member, right? A person needs to take a person needs to go to the doctor, right? He's not feeling well. I don't want to go to doctor. We're going to go to doctor. I don't know. I'm scared what he's going to tell me. Idiot. You tell me. Go find out if you're okay. It's good. If you not get this cap, >> speak to the camera. I'm going to play it. >> Right. You want me to say it again? When when a person, you have to go my blood pressure this that. Go check it out. If it's good, it's good. And if not, so maybe you have to take medication, diet, this. You know what the Garra is saying? What is that telling you that I'm going to tell you exactly what's going to happen, good or bad? Only the good says. It only says the good. >> A matter of honesty. >> Is that right? It's exactly what the Gmorra says. A sim from Shamayim that's good is good. If the Aisha sends you a good simmon, you could take it to the bank. That's it. It's good. You want to know am I gonna make it this year or not? The Garin Har, you light the candle. If it stays lit, done deal. You made it to the end of the year. You want to know if you have a business deal, it's going to go good. So, I'm not a I'm not a farmer. I don't know how to grow chickens, but I guess they knew how to do it. They'll make that they'll they'll breed that roast that that that chicken. If it goes, your deal is going to be good. If not, and there let's see it inside there inside. I mean, number three, third of the wide lines down, third of the line underlines down. So you gave yourself the it's something that's going to happen for sure because you got to cement doesn't say if it doesn't stay lit it's not going to happen cuz that would be that would be user to tell you that because it didn't happen that means it's going to be bad. Like the mirror broke and then you're going to have seven years of bad luck or this or that. That would be and that's also because that's not true, right? Right. Therefore the other side even if the candle doesn't stay lit, you'll make it. It's possible. And you you can have a and if we finish off at the end last underline at the bottom of the page it's the underline the last underline in this column. It's possible to live. Even if the chicken doesn't become fat, if he doesn't see that shadow, he'll make it back. Obviously, you didn't get that masle. You didn't get that. You didn't get that sign because maybe there is something. So go ahead and do something about it for heaven's sake. So do something. Do EPI. Do something about it. Fix it up. Vakasha. It's up to you. You know, you're on the mound. You're a pitcher. You put the ball in your hand. You know how to throw strikes. So go ahead and throw strikes. You know how to do it. So do it. So what are you eating? Let's finish off back to the Maral. So Mar says, "Why wouldn't you want to make a simmon?" Those those people who say that this is now we already have a shot, a working shot in the mar. It's not because we're not saying there's anything bad. It's a winwin. So take it that let's go back to that end of the last paragraph which we left off. It's not at the time when you should do it. You know what these three these five things are? These five thing five things are the best thing that could you can eat in your life at this time. [Music] If you can internalize the you're in a good place. How do you do that? voice. A gourd is a big pirate. That's remember was the is that you get the quality and quantity. quality and quantity of and then I want you to eat ki you know why karti >> what is karti >> leaks but they're called karti you know why was able to beat every enemy me love as the angels. So when you're eating the car and the ruby and the ki says the you're internalizing like the ramban said that you want to make a simmon to actualize the that's what these three represent. What are the next two right is considered right we say right so you eat a tmer the silky what's the silky balu So even if a person made a mistake, this is the of what you're doing when you eat this. You're internalizing the opportunity for in your life. And that's what the aisha wants. He wants to give you braha. Like we said, just don't get in the way of your own. Don't get in your own head and get in the way that you can't just go ahead and figure it out. So, you know, you know, you need a little bit of help of how you go and get out of it. But there's no question that every single yeed on rash has the opportunity to be to win in the din to get it not just to be stamina but like we said in the shir to turn it around and any of the negativity can turn into a I heard I'll finish off with one little Somebody told me a story today. He had a neighbor. I just put out a book on sukus, right? So I I'll tell you a sukus story. I just heard I one of my talum told me the following suka story. He said the following my son he said his mother loved the yumpt of sukus loved the of sukus and he felt very connected. So he had a lady in his community and she built her suka. It's a fellow who struggles a little bit with parnasa and it was about 3 days before sukus and it was one of those fall storms and the wind came blew down her whole suka. She was left with nothing. It was 3 days before it was it was it was already after yam kipra and she didn't have a suka. He said to himself it's not I can't see her not having a suka. So he called up his friend but he said I got he called up his friend and he said get me a suka. You know do me a favor you know I'm a little bit tight but Kava. He came to her house the next day. The guys came. They built her a suka. They built her a suka. She couldn't believe it. How could you do that? She says, "It's my present to you." He said that night he had a dream. His mother, his zadei all passed away and his bubby all came and they were all sitting in a suka singing together. Says, "One of the happiest dreams I ever had in my life. I was together with my mama, with my zadei, with my baba hi and we were sitting in the suka. I knew it was a sign from heaven. It was a sign from the aishar. I I had to push myself to do this. It wasn't easy financially. It wasn't easy, but I was able to do it. And I got a sign from Shay that in as much as we're ready to get from Shayim. There's no mikra in life. There's no coincidence. A person has to be a and believe that the is in our lives and every single thing and with this but that gives us and even wants us to know and sometimes it's obvious and sometimes it's not obvious but it's always there and we're always connected as we go in hashem we're finishing this year we're going into the new year as we said in our this year a person has to have the and the kavan and understand and the confidence that the aish wants what's good for us and not only wants what's good for us he's mia good for us because only come down from shmayim so what do we need to do just get out of our way just make sure we're be we're in the right place in the right frame of mind and in the right level that we should be able to those hash and everyone should be to exceed with Allah. Amen.
