Fantastic. Mhm.

for coming in the rain and for the not
local ones, the thank you for coming
online. We're going to have a very very
powerful lecture. Pay attention.
uh good opportunities don't come so
often and uh if you know how to to
recognize an opportunity but not only to
recognize the the opportunity is to take
action to recognize the opportunity that
a lot can do but the will the question
is how much you willing to take action
tonight is one of the most powerful
nights in the in the year
kesh is as it is an amazing powerful day
to add on that the month of alul
And we're now on starting a journey 30
days beforeh
smart people take advantage of
opportunities and less smart people
listen and uh wake up 28 days later. So
on purpose I wanted to
broadcast this lecture that no one can
have the excuse by saying I didn't hear
it on time. Now you're onesh you can
hear it on time and apply. if you don't
apply.
So before we start I want to dedicate
the class
first of all for Lydia Marcel Masuda
and
Rael and Abraham and everybody else who
needs and also shalom health and healthy
happy god-fearing children
to Jacob Ben and Lydia
and for health happiness has good
character traits and long life for Moshe
bac and bra for Marcel Masuda and all
her children and all her children's
children
and also benham
and to the for the healing of anyone who
needs healing and anyone who needs any
type of salvation in their life. Hashem
should bless you in the best way
possible
will do the blessings at the end of the
class.
So,
I highly recommend to turn your phones
off that you're not going to have any
distractions and uh and uh pay
attention.
Tonight, I'm going to talk about how you
can take advantage of the beginning of
the biggest change you can make in your
life.
Most people don't grow in uh spiritual
in physical. Most people don't grow.
They're not in a motion of growth
because they're not willing to do a
change. And only when you're willing to
do a change, that's when an opportunity
of growth comes.
Today we're also going to sp speak about
how special is the night of kodes and
what you can achieve tonight and
tomorrow also kesh. And really if anyone
feels or thinks that they had a very
successful year in the last 11 months
then maybe this uh class is not really
for you. The sad reality is that most
people didn't have a successful year and
even if some people think that they had
the reality is that most people did not
have and I will explain what does it
mean there are some exceptions of people
said no I had a great year but I'm going
to explain very briefly what does it
mean the success that I'm talking about
a lot of people translate the success
with the money if I have a lot of money
then I'm successful But unfortunately
that's not how we uh measure success.
How do you measure me measure measure
success that I was able to grow in a lot
of levels spiritually? It doesn't matter
if it's the last month, the last half a
year or the last year. But I'm looking
now at the last 11 months because 11
months ago was Rosh Shah on Rosh Shai.
prayed up to Hashem and uh prayed for
everything that I needed and uh
hoped for things and did so many things
hoping I'm going to be blessed by this
this year for parasa for zoo to find my
other half to have I mean everybody has
their prayers happens to be that onsh
it's very easy to
to take a lot of decisions but
nevertheless test uh
very few actually do something on Shah
you know the gates of heavens are open
and you have a lot of inspiration and
you have a lot of excitement and and you
take on yourself a lot of decision and
this year I'm going to do this and this
year I'm going to do that but really
nothing really happens it wears off very
very fast so when I'm asking how do you
measure success I'm measuring success is
how many levels I was able to climb time
spiritually in the past 11 months. I'm
right now here. Was I here 11 months
ago? Or I was like, oh, even maybe I was
in better 11 months ago and I went down
in my spiritual level. That's how I
measure my success. Not how much money I
have and not if I have peace with me
between me and my wife and not if I'm
married or not or not if that's not how
I measure the success. The success is
how many levels I was able to climb
spiritually in the last year. And if you
cannot measure a lot of levels, then you
didn't have a successful year. Now to
explain to you what I mean with these
levels. First of all,
the explanation when I'm talking about
how many levels you grew is how much of
your challenges you were able to
overcome and successfully win the
challenge. And your and your year, your
last 11 months was full of challenges.
Challenges in parnasa in getting your
livelihood, challenges with
relationships with family, challenges
with your addictions. It doesn't matter
what. We all had tons of challenges last
year. How many of the challenges you
passed? How many of the challenges you
miserably failed? How many of the
challenges you passed and you grew from
it and learned from that? That's the
first part on the list that you need to
ask yourself now. Was I successful or
not? If you can say, "Yeah, I passed all
my challenges amazingly."
I don't think many people can say, "I
passed all my challenges successfully."
But then you also have to measure how
many you did pass successfully and how
many you didn't pass successfully and
then kind of weigh it. Okay, I was 20%
success in the last 11 months. Is how
did you pass the challenges that you
have? How did you uh
deal with these challenges? Maybe some
of the challenges you didn't pass but
you dealt with it in the right attitude.
I'll I'll I'll explain more on that. Now
I want to just very briefly and in a
very general way talk about the night of
Roshesh and what you need to set in the
next 30 days we're going to learn almost
every day we're going to post first of
all there's going to be a lot of classes
I'm now in Florida for another two weeks
so there's going to be a lot of lectures
in the next two weeks which of course
the online uh followers can enjoy right
away but more than that for the ones who
are following me on Instagram and
Facebook and WhatsApp and all these
platforms
like we did similar in a few times in
the past. We did a few years ago the
alul chuva boot camp and we did the
40-day journey. If you remember if you I
don't know how long you're following me
for but we're going to do something
similar this alul with a lot of
explanations and everything that I'm
talking tonight you just need to
understand what's the opportunity and
what can be done and then of course to
set everything up. So measuring your
success in the last 11 months is how
much you successfully passed your
challenges and if you didn't how many
you failed. How did you deal with your
challenges? Were you completely broken
and shattered to pieces from them or did
it make you stronger? Because not all
the challenges are set to be successful.
Many of the challenges are already
predestined for you to fail. That's the
will of Hashem because he wants to see
how you will deal with the failure and
he wants to see how you're going to deal
with the fact that you are crushed
again. And if you're going to rise up
again and brush off all the dirt and
keep on walking or fall into sadness and
depression. So that's one very important
thing. Put it as a note is how you deal
with your challenges. Next thing how you
measure your success and this might not
be relate not maybe people will relate
with that but most people on their
spiritual growth journey they set goals
and they have all sorts of targets that
they're aiming to and all sorts of
resolutions right now if you're not in
that category like I told you this class
might not be applicable to you or that
this is going to be the class for you to
finally open your eyes and wake up and
do something positive and productive
with your life.
But the question is how many of the
goals that I set was I successful in
achieving and I scored goals. It can be
targets and it can be my resolutions.
And I don't know if you remember last
year I gave a roish class exactly a year
ago in Florida. If you remember, some of
you were there, some not. And in that
lecture, I shared a personal story how I
got stuck in the parking lot of Target
for two days. I don't know if you
remember. If not, go to last year's
lecture, hear the whole story. And I
summarized the whole lecture was just
stay on the target. Most people, they
don't even have a target, but make
yourself a target and stay on the
target.
So the next uh graph how you will
measure your success is if you had any
goals any targets and any resolutions
were you able to to fulfill them? If you
can come and answer now by saying I
didn't even have any targets well
this year you're going to have to set
some targets because if you don't have a
target where you going then you you are
destined to get lost with no question
here. So the first thing you need to
know is where are you going? Where am I
heading? And needless to say, everyone
in their in their way make resolutions.
I'm going to start doing this. I'm going
to start doing that. I'm going to give
up this. I'm going to give up that. How
much success did you have with those
targets, resolutions, decisions? That's
your next level. How you measure your
success.
And the last is did I grow spiritually
from whatever I went through. You might
look back at the last year and say, "I
don't think I had a successful year. I
didn't find my other half. I don't I
don't I barely make ends meet
financially. Uh I wanted to go and pray
every day. I barely did that." And you
go through a whole list of your failure.
But that's what you wanted to happen.
And could be that you were destined to
fail in that. And Hashem just wanted to
see how you deal with that. And could be
that you grown spiritually great levels.
You think you didn't grow because you
feel you're standing in the same place
in regards to your challenges, but
really you grew because you are fighting
your challenges and you are fighting
your urges and you're fighting your
desires and you're on a path of of a
positive struggle.
So when I talking about success,
remove money from from the what we're
talking about. I know everybody has
issues with money. You're not the only
one. Even the rich people has issues
with money right now. That's the what
the will of Hashem. That's one of the
many hints that Mashiach is closer.
Don't think right now you're going to be
the next startup. Focus on what you need
to do. Money will come wherever it's
needed.
Success, like I told you, is exactly
what I explained. And then more than
that,
I measure success in my life is how do I
wake up in the morning? Do I wake up in
the morning sad with no energy or do I
wake up in the morning fully inspired
and just smiles on my face all day long?
Why are you smiling? I don't know. It's
a good day. Now, right now, literally
coming here, I was we were driving. My
kids are with me. My daughter's telling
me, "Why are you smiling? Why you look
like very happy?" I says, "Why not?" Of
course, I'm happy. You know, I'm
breathing. I'm alive. I'm my kids are
with me. going to meet now a lot of a
lot of amazing namat a lot of amazing
songs we're going to strengthen now
thousands of people that can can find me
a reason why not to be happy because
it's raining
so we're going to talk a lot about how
you reach to that success
but tonight I want you to first of all
be exposed to your new journey if you
choose to take it by the way a lot of
people would leave the room with like
always just nodding
That's it. So you decide how you're
leaving the room tonight. You can leave
the room nodding and saying, "Yeah,
yeah, very inspiring." And then tomorrow
not do nothing. Or leave the room and
say, "Okay, now I have my goal set. My
target is set. I'm going to have my
guide guiding me for the next 30 days."
And besides Hashem, my goal is to come
to Shana as clean as possible that I can
stand in front of Hashem and finally
have a good prayer and a and and a good
connection and spiritual elevation.
Don't think about how much money you
want to make the next year and if you
want to meet your other half or not.
Trust me, Hashem knows exactly what you
need and Hashem knows exactly what you
want. He doesn't need so much of you
nagging. I spoke about it many, many
times.
Shem has access to social security. He
knows if you're single or not. You don't
have to remind him 70 times a day you're
single. He knows that. And he has access
to your bank account and he knows how
much money you don't have. Focus on the
positive things and focus on things that
will take you to the next level so you
can start measuring success and marking
success on the path that you're going
on.
So with that said,
tonight is the night that you can set
the path how you going to walk on for
the next 30 days. Now why is that so
important? Because on Shah in 30 days we
are going to stand in front of Hashem.
And in that time we all pray to Hashem
for everything that we need, everything
that we want. And as the text of the
prayer says that on that day is decide
who's going to live, who's going to die,
who's going to be rich, who's going to
be poor, who's going to get married,
who's going to get divorced. Everything
is decided on that day sh your entire
next year is decided for you. And one
element that most people miss is another
thing that is decided for you on Roshana
is how much challenges you're going to
have for the next coming year.
How intense they're going to be and
which one of them is you going to fail
already miserably because it's already
predestined. That is already decided.
Now wouldn't you want to come to Rosh
Shana
with the idea of sweetening judgments
that I'll explain in another time.
That's the concept of diaping the the
the apple and the honey is is sweetening
judgments. I have a few classes online
explaining on that but I'll elaborate on
that. But you want to come to Sha that
the judgments are sweetened and then
you're blessed with whatever Hashem
wants to give you. But in order to get
that blessing you need 30 days of
preparation. You cannot prepare in three
days. And that's the problem of mo of
most people comes they understand that
in 30 days is shah they understand that
it's a very aspicious time that needs
great preparation
but 2 three days into alul all the
resolutions and all the good decisions
on alul they go out the window.
So you have to focus on because you
cannot fulfill it in 14 days. You need
30 days. And why do you need 30 days?
That's how long it's going to take you
to prepare yourself that you come to
Shana ready. If you don't do it, then
you don't come to Roshana ready. And
then the results up to Hashem.
So tonight, before we start, I want to
share with you a personal story. Maybe
some of you heard it, but after that, I
want to explain what you need to have in
your mind tonight. How you're going to
set up that path. So the first thing you
need to do tonight is the switch. If you
don't do that, then it's not going to
work. And if you're not going to do
that, don't whine after that next year
that you didn't feel your year was
successful and that you were walking in
the right path. You know, just to
elaborate one more little thing before I
continue with measuring your success.
I also measure success how many days of
the year I was very very happy in a good
mood and how many days of the year I
wasn't so happy I was dealing with some
challenge and it brought me down my
spirit and you have to ask yourself how
many days in the last 11 months you in
the gauge of sim happiness was above the
green and how many days you're very very
low that's another way to measure your
success on your path because if
constantly in very high high level
energy that which is translated to
happiness and joy then it means that
you're doing spiritually very well and
if you have a lot of low do days that's
not good that's not good at all so
tonight like I told you we're going to
set the path but it's important that you
listen to every detail and more than
that that you follow not only listen but
before that I want to share with you a
quick story that happened to me two
years ago
And two years ago I went to Roman for
Shana and after many years that I I
never went and not that I have I love I
learned I love the whole idea the whole
concept and so forth but a few times
that I tried to reach to um I don't know
minim I couldn't get there one time
there was a snowstorm one time the
flight was delayed whatever it was two
years ago was some type of opportunity
from the heavens and last minute we
decided we're going to Oman. I took my
boys and a few friends of the boys
and we left to Oman. We arrived the
morning of Rosh Shana. And for the ones
of you who know me a little bit, then
you know that me and traveling doesn't
work that well. And usually whatever can
go wrong goes wrong. And Hashem usually
squeezes me like to the not to the last
minute to the last microsecond that
before. Okay, that's it. So, we of
course land in um and morning of Shana,
the first thing the guy that we closed
and booked our room disappeared with a
deposit. So, now I'm homeless with kids.
I mean, they're big kids and suitcases
and we're going up and down and looking
for rooms and
everything was with a lot of pressure
and everything was last minute and
everything was with a lot lot of
aggravation and a lot of challenges. Are
you going to get angry?
Are you going to get judgmental and why
what are you let's see how are you how
are you going to control yourself
but anyways
to make a very long story short
I was recommended to go and pray in a
certain sh clo this is the main sh in
Oman and this is where like the main
experience of Shana to go to okay I had
to get everything ready and everything
like I told you was last minute and
finally we actually found where to sleep
but it was like a 25minut walk from the
center. So I rush rush rush. I come to
to the mikvet with my my clothes for
shah and the second that I come into the
mikvah the worker in there closes the
door tells me it's closed. That's it.
And I'm like whoa whoa. What do you mean
it's closed? There's a few more minutes
I need to come into the mikvah. He tells
me no no no you can't. I already threw
the chemical in the water. You can't.
The mikvah is closed. It's closed. Let's
go.
And this is like moments before Shah
where Hashem slammed the door in my
face.
You know how I felt that moment? Not the
the embarrassment in front of Hashem. I
was sweating for like eight hours. All I
wanted is a little bit of water just to
clean myself, wear new clothes. I was
dripping dripping from sweat. I'm not
talking about now the odor. And now I
can't even go to take a shower. I can't
even go into the mik. How am I going to
come to Roshana? That's how I'm coming
to Shah.
Okay, I go to the Besset. They already
started MK. I somehow squeezed in.
It was so hot there that I couldn't even
breathe from how hot it was. There was
like I don't know like 10,000 people
there all squashed like a tuna can, a
sardine can. I'm standing like this.
There's air conditioning and ventilation
but you can't breathe because first of
all you squashed by 500 people and then
there's no air. So first of all my minah
the last min of the year which is a very
important min was like you know I was
pushed from all directions my sidur is
flying out of my hand was it wasn't a
good maha and then I wanted to go all
the way to the front so it took me like
40 minutes to cross till the front
because it's so cramped with people it's
a massive massive you room and I think
there's at least 10,000 people in there
and there's two floors somehow I go
closer and closer to the kesh
And I'm telling you, I'm sweating. I'm
suffering from heat. I can't breathe
from the heat. And I'm like
overprotected over my younger son cuz
he's like he was 12 at the time. And and
I'm pushed from all directions. And you
know, you're expecting Shana. Everybody
kind you're getting elbows moving. You
know, people stepping on you. Oh,
I'm standing there like this. I I can
barely breathe. I'm like dripping sweat
and I'm like I I'm not doing this. I'm I
look at the door. I'm like, I'm heading
out. I'm I'm not doing that. And
suddenly I feel a tap on my uh shoulder
and I turn around and some guy that I
never seen in my life, he's like, "Rabbi
Nava." And I'm like, "Yeah,
Raban doesn't have any more breath." So
he tells me, "Come, come, we saved seats
for you." And like
took me from being stuck like a sardine.
I sat second row in front of the ark of
the kesh suddenly
some air conditioning some air. I'm like
took me 10 minutes to to to get back to
myself but I was really really in the
front. I had shalom on my left on my
right all the great of of of
breast all around. I'm like thank you.
So in this sh they have the custom of
doing these nigunim these uh
long long songs but everyone is like 10
minutes. It's like a two-hour prayer and
every time they go with the nigim of
course if you know it great if you don't
you just you know pretend you know it
but uh and you just go like but actually
you don't really know the tune but
nevertheless I was sitting finally the
air cooled me down. I was comfortable.
My kids are fine. I look around. I see
some familiar faces. And I'm sitting in
front of the ark. And I'm asking Hashem,
"Wh why did you close the mikvah in my
face?
You know, I I really tried.
Why? Why? I am not upset. I'm not angry.
But why? I need to learn something."
And the divine message that I got is
that I came to Rosha Shana dirty.
And the reality was that that previous
month I was busy with many different
things, but with my spiritual growth and
my chuva and my yet knows how to go like
this and say, "Yeah, but you teach
people and you inspire people and you're
busy with a lot of good things." That's
not an excuse. That's the yet telling me
you're doing good here. Ignore that. The
fact was that the entire month of alul
blaming me being busy on doing
productive and good things. Really I
didn't focus on my spiritual growth on
alul. I didn't focus on my chuva. I
didn't focus on the fact that I also the
great rabbi also has to do chuva also
has to prepare on. And Hashem told me, I
don't care who you are and how many
people you teach or how many followers
you have. You do chuva like everybody
else. And if you don't, I'll make you
this big.
Hashem just threw it at my face. You
asking me why the mikra was closed. You
didn't prepare yourself the whole month
of you came to to Shalah dirty.
So you're dirty spiritual. Then it
manifested you're going to be physically
spiritual. dirty. Sorry that you it
started that you're spiritually dirty
then it will manifest you'll be
physically sp dirty
you got to face the reality that's it
but what I took from that and that's the
example of how I told you before if you
measure success is what do you do with
your failures do you learn something
from that
so I learned from two years ago you
don't miss out the opportunity of alul
because you're going to come to Roshana
dirty. And don't think you can come to
Roshana with three days before Rosh Shah
to do some chuva and read some two
chapters of tim and give $18 charity and
think that's it. You came and you going
to w into rash shah and hashem is just
going to bestow all the the blessings on
you. That doesn't work like that. Now
the reality it's all for your benefit.
It's not that Hashem is sitting up there
in shm and saying oh her.
No, she only wants to bless you. But he
says you have to do something. Think I'm
going to give you just like that the
blessing for free. No.
So the moral of the story is don't come
to Shana dirty and it doesn't matter who
you are. You know in the back of my mind
I was like okay you know it's not that
20 years ago that I need to do serious
chuva. I'm already 20 years into my cha.
Okay. And as as it is, my daily aodem is
busy. So a few more things. That's how
my yet is numbing me. Oh no, no. You
busy.
Now it's not that I'm busy with sitting
on the beach with a beer. I'm busy with
you teaching and inspiring and doing all
sorts of programs, whatever it is, but I
also have to move things aside and do my
cha. So what you need to take from that
is don't come dirty to Rosha Shana. And
tonight you have the opportunity to set
the path how to not come dirty to shah
and if you don't do it
then I have no guarantee and no
responsibility and should bless you with
everything that you need. I'm just
coming to tell you what's the the easy
way to walk into Shana.
We are taught and everybody knows that
that we have to start doing chuva have
to start repenting and we have to start
preparing ourselves to
tomorrow
we're going to have another class onesh
and on that class I'm going to explain
in a very deep and clear way the concept
of the king is in the field for the ones
of you are familiar you heard that term
many times that during ill the king is
in the field. What does it mean that a
king is very accessible? Hashem is
accessible. When he's sitting in his
chamber on his throne, he's not
accessible. He can't just walk in. But
when he's walking in the field,
so to say, he's accessible and you can
come close and wave. But that's really
not what it means. Has a much more
deeper meaning. And the reality is that
I see from year after year that most
people don't really understand what it
means. the king is in the field. They
just understand some concept. So,
tomorrow we're going to talk about I'm
going to explain in a very simple but
yet very deep way what's and what you
need to do with that. The king is in the
field. You have 30 days now to take
advantage of that. It's not just coming
and seeing the king and shaking his
hand. It's a completely different topic.
Tomorrow we're going to do that. But
today we start preparing the khim. We
start preparing the vessels for that.
Don't focus on what we need to do
tomorrow. Especially this the topic
tonight has to do with lamemed of and
tomorrow is alul and tomorrow it
changes. Today we're going to focus on
something else. Tomorrow we start our
job. We start the journey. I mean we
started today of course but tomorrow we
go and learn the concept of and the
whole month what we need to do. So don't
don't think you're going to be by
yourself here and what I need to don't
worry everything is set and ready.
So right now I need to understand that
I'm required to do chuva. Chuva means to
repent and uh the simple explanation of
chuva is just don't do the sin again.
That's it. That's really where it
starts. Stop doing the sin. Then of
course you have to you know have regret,
remorse, confess and uh sweeten the
judgments. So many other things but
first of all raise and say guilty and
stop. You don't stop. You can't do
chuva. If you stop for one day and then
another day come back and stop for
another two days then you didn't do
chuva. You like a yo-yo.
Besides the fact of the chuva that I
have explained in many many times in the
past. I'm not going to even talk about
it tonight. You go to my website, you'll
see dozens of of lectures how to do
chuva. Everything about chuva. I'm
talking right now on a completely
different thing that is less familiar
about the chuva that one needs to do and
you need to do it every day. But if you
can do it very well in the next 30 days,
you'll be good. You'll be doing good.
The concept of chuva is well known.
Leave the sin. Don't do the sin anymore
and change your path. But if you want to
look at it in a different level, let's
take the word chuva and analyze it. So
chuva is written in five Hebrew letters
taffin vav.
So I want to see the acronym in the in
the word chuva. And to take from that
something that I need to do before we
start, you have to understand that this
is something that you need to do every
day. But on that's something that you if
you if you are now joining for the next
30 days that's what you need to start
doing now for the next 30 days and if
you wanted to stick there shouldn't be a
reason why you would stop then you have
to continue after
but if you're not going to do it on I
don't know you might pass the test with
I don't know how it is in the America in
Israel you get numbers you can pass the
test 60 also out of 100 so you pass the
test but pretty pretty lame. You want to
pass at least 85 90 or even go to 100.
Get a sticker. I'll give you a sticker
at the end of the 30 days. Kid of the
month.
So for the next 30 days and for on your
entire life, you have to focus on the
five different things that we're going
to talk about now very briefly. And I
will elaborate on each and every one of
us in one of them in the next 30 days in
a very clear way. So don't you don't
need to invent things. You need to just
do
the first letter of chuva is t and t
stands for three things that you need to
apply. First one is that's prayer.
Second one is tora and the third one is
to thanking.
The prayer is very simple. It's not that
you pray in your in your in your bed or
when you're in the car and please hashem
I need this. That's not the prayers I'm
talking about that you say for other
times. The prayers that I'm talking
about are the prayers you have to pray
from a prayer book.
And as I said a million times, women
also need to pray. I don't know why
people women think they're exempt from
praying. The women know how to push
their their husbands, but they don't
bother to open the book themselves. The
reality is that a man has to pray three
times a day. The morning, afternoon, and
evening. And women have to pray if
there's one time a day twice a day.
Either it doesn't matter. The difference
between women is they don't bound to
time. We have to pray in a certain
amount, a certain hour and we need to
have a minion. Women can pray wherever
they are, whoever they want and whatever
they want. But women have to prayer and
if you don't prayer, you're missing a
huge part of your closeness to Hashem.
So that's the basics. If you don't work
on your prayers, that's the foundation
of everything. So in this month and for
all you have to put prayers as your
number one thing in your in your life
that's the most important thing much
more than your livelihood much more than
anything that you give any priority when
you put that first priority
then Hashem already puts many paths in
your life first priority because when
you're putting Hashem number one then he
he likes that a lot and I said that Many
times most people don't put Hashem
number one. He's number two. And the
indication to that is how do you wake up
in the morning? And there's many other
indications by the way. But if you wake
up in the morning and right away you
grab your phone, then you put Hashem
number two because you put Hashem number
one. I said that no once and no twice.
First hour of the day, no phone. Last
hour of the day, no phone.
It's Hashem. You have to put Hashem
number one. In every part of your life,
in every part path you walk on, Hashem
has to be number one. And nothing else
is number two because
there's only one Hashem. There's nothing
else. And
there's nothing but him. So can't be
something that is number two. Number one
is only Hashem. When you put priority to
Hashem, then he will put all your
desires as first priority.
So anyways, you're obligated in doing
that. More than that, you only the one
who benefits from that. Prayers have to
be the number one priority of your day.
And I add on that that you have to say
biron every day. You eat every day,
right? Why don't you want to say the
most important blessing in the Torah,
the blessing, the grace after the
mealon? Most people drive 40 minutes to
to get the the meot pizza. Shalom.
should not say the birkaton.
It's like I'm giving you now a million
dollar check and you're saying ah I
don't feel like going to the bank the
line is too long. I just gave you a
million dollars
and anyways it's not that you like don't
eat and you're on a diet.
So anyways you have to you eat every
day. So at least one meal say
you know a few years ago I was in a
lecture in Los Angeles and this lady
comes up to me after the lecture and she
asks me for a blessing for parasa for a
livelihood. So I told her I'll give you
a blessing but I prefer to give you
advice
and when she asked for the advice I told
her say every day
it's too long.
Wait a minute. It's too long. You asked
for parasa.
Do you have something shorter?
Let me look at if I have some in my
magic hat. You asked for parasa. You
went for you want livelihood. Then I
told you what to what to do. You eat
anyways. Huh? How you look? It looks
like you eat every day. All day long.
So stop for one time. I'm joking. Of
course. It's just to make you laugh. I'm
not making fun of that lady.
But you eat every day. So say one time.
No, it's too long.
Okay. So don't so so don't complain.
So
also one of the important prayers and
the bedtime every prayer that Hashem has
set for you that has to be a priority to
you.
The next thing is Torah. Every person is
obligated in learning Torah. And you
have to ask yourself
in the last 11 months how much Torah did
you learn?
And a lot of people they have very bad
excuses. But the reality is that you go
to your smartphone and you look in the
whatever analytics your phone gives you
how much you were on the screen the last
11 months and you will be shocked. Most
people are on the screens two three four
hours every day and not doing anything
productive junk just like that.
So you can't say I didn't have time to
learn any Torah.
If you don't learn to at least five
minutes a day, I mean five minutes is a
joke, but at least five minutes then how
you expecting to have any blessings in
your life and it can be sometimes just
reading a few chapters of you don't have
to now open a and dive into the to the
tell you read five minutes or something
and again going back to women saying I
don't need to learn to you need to learn
all the and you need to learn the laws
of purity and laws of and laws of and
laws
That's enough. Start with that. Okay.
When you finish that, come back to me.
I'll give you some other things to
learn. Of course, women has to learn.
How can you be observant to God and you
don't even know what to perform? How to
to keep a kosher kitchen and the laws of
purity and and nida and everybody needs
to learn.
And the last is thanking Hashem. Now,
thanking Hashem is not putting the the
the new song, thank you, Hashem, that
has 500 billion views already. Everybody
knows how to put the song on, but that's
it.
It's not about thanking Hashem. Of
course, you need to thank Hashem every
day. But really, thanking Hashem is
doing a good deed that you don't earn or
gain anything from it. It's only for hem
shine. It's not for you. It's not you
have any benefit from it.
You do a good deed and you're saying,
"Hashem, this is for you." And it can be
any type of charitable or kind act. And
that kind act can be you shutting up
when your wife is angry and you just
don't say anything or you say the right
word, a little compliment, even when you
don't feel like saying the compliment.
Sometimes you're just smiling to a
person which you really don't feel like
smiling to that person, but you know
it's going to do good for him. You do
one little act every day that makes
Hashem happy. It's not for you. It's not
about you. It's about Hashem.
I will elaborate in length about the all
three. But you have to start registering
what is required. And I know it sounds a
lot, but it's not a lot.
The next thing in the order is the
letter Shin. I will skip Shin for a
second and uh because I want to focus on
Shin the most. Let's go to the next one
which is vav. Vav is vid doing. Vid is
confession. Tomorrow morning not
tomorrow morning sorry. Tuesday morning
we start confessing to hashem. If you're
sorry, you start saying for 40 days. If
you're Ashkanazi, you'll start saying by
the end of the month.
Even if you're Ashkenazi and you start
saying at the end of the month, while
you pray and you say vidi, you confess
to
you confess your sins to Hashem. The
entire 30 days you need to confess your
sins. That's why there's no we say 30
days before then another 10 days
but it's all about confessing now then
once you start confessing to Hashem and
the confession has to be real because
you can't hide anything from Hashem it
has to be real confession but when
you're done with Hashem then you start
going and doing your confession with
other people that you did wrong to or
that you owe them money or an apology or
whatever it is and I know in many of the
cases You're like, "What?"
Here, I'm going to say a side note to
some extreme situations, consult your
local rabbi before you're going and
talking to somebody cuz you might open
some Pandora box. So, in some
situations, don't come and confess now
and it's going to create a nuclear
explosion. But I'm talking about the
basic things. And the basic things that
when you dig deep down into your soul,
the confession is that you're taking
this the truth out. the truth that you
don't want to be known. Now, in front of
Hashem, it's a little bit easy because
Hashem anyways knows it and you're like
kind of talking to yourself. But to come
to another person and to confess that
you judge them wrongly and ask for
forgiveness or that you slander them and
ask for forgiveness, that's not so easy
to do that. So, a lot of people for them
the the the motion of confessing is hard
because they can't surface the truth.
it's too embarrassing or it's too hard
to deal with or it's whatever brings
them to a place that they feel
discomfort or confusion. But the fact is
that you have to surface it. If you
don't surface it, you won't be able to
do the real cha. And if it's easy for
you to tell Hashem, I did this and I did
this, then you have to find it in your
heart who you have to go and make amends
with. And if somebody needs an apology,
you go and leave that apology. And if
you owe somebody money, you pay it now
in the next 30 days. or you come to some
type of payment agreement or anything in
that respect, you you you don't leave
any holes open. You cover all your
holes. That's your confession that you
saying I did something wrong. If you're
saying, "Oh, she doesn't deserve an
apology." Okay. So, okay, you failed in
that part. Not always you have to be
right. In many times in life, it's
better to be smart than right. And in
many situations you are the one who
needs to lower yourself to bring peace
and to bring some unity and make other
people
affected in a positive way. So the vidu
is very very important. It's something
that you need to do every day and if you
do it every day if you pray every day
like I told you that then by default
you'll you'll do the the the
vidui
the confession. But the next level is
when you start doing it to other people
and not to be embarrassed and yeah yeah
yeah yeah you can come and tell another
person I I owe you an apology I judged
you wrong and I said this and that about
you and if you don't do that how do you
think you're going to do for
and don't forget that the entire idea of
yum is between you and other people not
between you and Hashem so you have a lot
of work to do in the next 40 days don't
ignore it don't leave it for the last
minute
the next thing is Bet
stands forot
is all the blessings that you need to
say. And now I'm talking to everybody
because I know even the observant people
don't do what I'm about to say. And most
people don't say blessings that they're
allow that they're supposed to say. They
completely ignore it. And the basics is
what's called
everything that you benefit from in this
world. You have to say a blessing before
everything that you eat. You have to say
a blessing. When you done eating, you
have to say another blessing.
I guarantee to you go into almost any
besset, any shul where men pray there
three times a day and I guarantee to you
that 80% of them don't say half if not
80% of the bot of the blessings and it
starts in the morning the morning
blessings. Ask yourself, do you say the
morning blessings first thing in the
morning every day with all your focus or
one hand is on Instagram?
And I can tell you that most people
don't say the morning blessings in the
morning. And even if they do, they say
it so fast, no meaning, no thought, no
covena. So who are you kidding?
Read the text one time slowly and you'll
see what you're asking every day in the
morning and how you're setting your day.
So all these blessings and everything
that I'm talking about I will elaborate
in the next few weeks but I'm telling
you that's what has to be to you now the
titles
I'm sure many of you when you take a cup
of water you say right how many of you
say
very few people and you might be good at
saying
or whatever it is but how many of you
say the aftera
when it's a little bit longer and you
think that you are exempt from that. So
let me tell you in two words. I'm not
going to say it now because we're going
to learn about that in in in length.
Isal explains that when you say a
blessing in that type what's called when
you you you benefit from something in
this world when you say the blessing you
release the godly spark that is stuck in
that item in that whatever it is can be
food. It can be a physical item and you
release the godly spark to go back to
its source.
And then when you don't, so what are you
doing in this world? Why did I bring you
to this world? To eat like a
No, I brought you here to elevate
sparks. I brought you here to purify
spiritually the world. Now when you say
the aftera, the blessing after the
explains that whatever you consumed into
your body, the after blessing is
releasing all the toxins from your body.
And definitely not now the topic, but I
said it not once and not twice. The only
reason for sicknesses is toxins in the
body that cannot be released. That's it.
Get all the toxins out of your body. You
will never be sick.
The after
releases the toxins from your body. It's
only for your benefit.
And why would you want to miss such a
thing? You are not performing your
mission in this world. Hashem put you in
Miami and other people in Chicago.
Whatever it is, you have a special place
in the universe where you need to
elevate that space. The sparks around
you belong to you. You need to elevate
them with every time that you eat and
every time that you do something
productive that you benefit from it in
this world. So that's the braot that you
need to focus on. Anybody from you that
says right now, I don't know what you're
talking about. Okay. So stay tuned.
We're going to learn about that. But for
the ones of you who think that you are
very observant, question yourself.
How often do you say the blessings? Do
you know the blessings off by heart? Do
you carry in you a little pamphlet that
has the text in it?
Please don't tell me you never eat
grapes and then you need to say, "Do you
know the do you know the additions onesh
on Shabbat?" If you don't know that,
that's like basic. It's like basic being
a Jew. When I became observant, the
first thing that my friend taught me is
the blessings. I had a a little piece of
paper and I would say it. I would hold
the water.
Now, I'm not going to explain it, but
everybody wants in their life blessings.
Blessings in Hebrew is
you want a blessing, then say a
blessing. That's it.
The last uh by the way, we'll talk about
that. That's less, but the also the bed
stands for the how much trust you have
in Hashem. That I'm going to elaborate
another time. the hay of erh of the
chuva.
I'm going to explain after I go back now
to the shin. The shin and the h are the
I think the the key here. The shin in
Hebrew stands for shinoi. Shinoi means a
change
is what do I want to change in my life?
That's something you need to decide on
tonight and later is tomorrow. And if
you're still lagging, then a few more
days is fine. But without you setting
that goal, that target of what I want to
change in my life, nothing will work.
And I will elaborate in a second, but
the he of
is how persistent I am.
And most people fail in that. So you
need to tonight do the switch. What do I
want to change in my life?
And from tomorrow starts you being
persistent and doing it every day. And
why? Because you want the change. And if
you're not going to do it every day and
you're not going to be persistent, it's
not going to work.
That's it. Very, very simple. When I
became observant 22 plus years ago, I
had to go on many new paths in my life
because I was going on all the wrong
paths in my life. And I had to now walk
on very different paths and a lot of
them. So I knew that I can't walk on two
paths at the same time. That doesn't
work. So I had to choose what's the
first path I'm going to go on. Then I
chose the path of change. I cannot
become a slave to Hashem. I cannot
become a servant to Hashem. I cannot
become a God-fearing Jew and perform
what I need to do if I'm still walking
on the previous paths.
So there's not the time right now to
walk on that path. I understood that. I
understood it will take me a few years
to walk on the path of of serving God. I
understood that I first have to go on
the path of change. Changing everything
in my life, my habits, my desires, the
way I think, the way I talk, the way I
walk, the way I treat other people.
Everything had to change completely. And
I'm talking about 20 plus years ago when
I had to do chuva. Not I'm talking to
you on a daily base. I'm just trying to
explain the concept.
The path that I had to go on for three
years is just change everything. Now you
can't change things overnight.
But you have to have goals and you have
to have your targets. What is going to
be the next thing that I'm changing? Why
am I changing it? That's what you need
to do tonight. And if tonight you're
tired, then do it tomorrow. But you need
to take a piece of paper and write on
one side very clearly the things that
you're not happy with in your life that
you can change. Don't write there I want
more money. You have no control over it.
Or don't write I want to meet the woman
of my dreams. You have no control over
it. She will come when it's ready.
But you have control of many other
things. And you need to humble yourself.
And tonight you have all the godly
divine powers that will allow you to
humble yourself.
Take advantage because you're removing
now 99% of the burden. Tonight, Hashem
opens your heart and your soul that you
whatever you where whatever level of
humility you need to get to, he will
allow you. And the level of humility
that you need to get to is a list of all
the things that you are very unhappy in
your life. Little habits that you're not
happy. Little things that you would like
to change and you can't seem to make
make it happen. Things that other people
maybe bother you in your life but you
think you have control. Make yourself a
list. See where you're holding. See if
you're dealing with three problems or
40.
But there's no other way of doing it.
Don't think you're going to keep it in
your mind. You have to put it on a piece
of paper. You have to bring it down to
the world. When you write something, you
bring it to to the reality to the world.
It's not in your head anymore. It's now
it's an existence in this world. And if
it bothers you that you can't wake up in
the morning with good energy, write it.
I hate that I wake up in the morning
without good energy and I'm tired. Write
it. I don't like it that whenever I want
to do a mitzvah, the is bothering like
this and like that. Write everything
that you know what you need to deal
with.
Look with the things that you are where
you want to become better. If you don't
have what I'm telling you now, you're a
lost case by the way. Well, shalom. I'm
not saying a lost case, but your path to
cha is not going to be an easy one. You
have to already tonight say I'm not 100%
happy with where I am. And that's why I
told you before when I started the
lecture, if you can come and say, "Oh,
I'm great. I I'm very happy where I am."
Well, either you are superhuman
or either you are too arrogant to
realize that you're not superhuman.
That's it. Because if you reach to a
level that you say, "I'm doing great."
Shem should be with you. No man or woman
should say, "I'm I'm great. I reached to
the top. I'm I'm at my full potential."
Not true.
Every second of your life, you're
growing. You can't come and say I
reached my full potential. I'm doing
great. No, you're not. Because from this
level, you can grow to that level. You
need to be critic. You need to look at
yourself and introspect and say these
are the things that I don't like in my
performance. I don't like it that I
don't have patience. I don't like it.
You don't have to write the word I don't
like. Write it however you want. It
doesn't matter. You need to have an
indication in front of you, but you have
to write everything that bothers you. I
hate it that I'm impatient. I hate it
that I'm judgmental. I hate it that I'm
a jealous individual. I hate it that I'm
lazy. I hate this. I hate this because
these are the changes that you need to
seek. And I told you already, don't
write already that you need money. That
you do what you need to do and the money
will come. That's it. Put your trust in
Hashem and everything will work out with
your money. Don't don't think you have
too much control. Trust me. Do what you
need to do. Don't go after the money.
I'll tell you a quick story
about going after the money.
When I met my wife 20 plus years ago and
we were engaged
uh we couldn't uh we had to postpone the
wedding. It was for many different
reasons and we couldn't be together
because you know engaged or or not. You
can't touch the the lady before you
married. So no kissing. I'm not talking
about marital relations. I'm talking
about kissing, hugging, touching. So,
it's very hard to date someone and and
to sit in front of them, not to be able
to physically touch them. But you don't
want to touch. You can't touch. You
touch your spouse before the wedding.
Don't expect a good marriage. By the
way, I spoke about that a million times.
We'll elaborate if you need. If not, go
and look at my website. There's all the
information that I'm talking about. But
a man and a woman should not touch each
other in any type of a way before their
marriage. And when people come to me
with problem in their marriage, the
first thing that I ask them is if
they're even married because most people
don't get married the right way. So
they're not really married and then
starts problems.
And then the next thing is I touching
did you touch each other when you were
dating?
If you had marital relations then no one
no doubt that you have issues with
schlomite and it will be very hard to to
rectify. But even if you touched that
will cause a big problem.
So
it was very hard. So we decided that she
should go to Israel and learn and I
would stay in New York where I lived and
get ready for the wedding. So she went
to Tvat where we live right now and I
stayed in New York to prepare the
wedding.
We didn't have any money at all and no
help from any direction and uh I needed
to to pay for a wedding.
and she left to Israel and I was a
student in yeshiva at the time. My wife
was a realtor and she would uh rent
apartments in Manhattan. So she left me
a keychain with like 400 keys telling
these are all the apartments go and rent
them. It's notem you know we can make
some parasa.
Every day for the next two months I
would wake up in the morning pray real
quick. Not like I'm supposed to pray so
quick and finish on the subway so I can
come early to the office and see the
listings and put it all on Craigslist
and whatever. And I would run all day
long like a like an idiot throughout the
city. And my excuse was that I carried
on me, you know, it was winter. I
carried on my uh jacket all these little
things that I can give out, you know,
candles for a woman to light for Shabbat
and like little pamplets, whatever. So I
thought, yeah, I'm still doing something
good. But nevertheless, I ran after the
money like an idiot. For two months, I
didn't eat. I didn't sleep because I
lived in the yeshiva. And every time I
would miss the dinner and miss the lunch
because I was in the city and I didn't
have a dollar with nothing.
Two months I didn't make one deal and I
have to start paying for things in the
wedding and I don't even have one dollar
and I'm going crazy and I'm and and I
barely sleep. I I I came to my wedding
like a like skinny skinny skinny. I ate
I had like a big bag of pretzels and
that's that was my my food every day and
I was so locked on I need to make money.
I need to have to pay to this wedding.
Two months I didn't make $1.
Three days before the wedding, my mom
comes to visit me from Israel. She comes
to the wedding and suddenly uncle so and
so gave you $500 and aunt so and so gave
you $300. And remember so and so, oh
yeah, they sent a present and in two
days I had most of the money to the
wedding.
And then I looked back and it was one of
the most profound messages I had in my
beginning of the path is focus on what
you need to do.
Shem will take care of everything. I ran
after the money for two months. I didn't
make a dollar. I could have sat in
yeshiva for two months and learn dua all
day long and prepare myself spiritually
and work on myself and grow and focus on
myself and prepare myself mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually to the
wedding. Instead of that, I ran after
money. Hashem told me straight into your
face. I write checks. Sit in yeshiva.
You're running in the city like a maniac
and the money came two days before the
wedding everything was set. So I learned
a long time ago not to run after the
things that have no point. Of course you
have to make money. You have to make a
cle you have to make your your your
vessel your opportunity youroot your
effort. You need to have a job. You
can't sit all day long on on a couch and
think money will fall from the sky.
That's not how it's going to happen. You
still need to make a click a vessel. But
to run after it blindly.
So the change
has to be within you, not your physical
surroundings. Don't pray for some person
in your life that is bothering you to
get out of your life because that person
is in your life for a purpose. You have
to focus on really what you need to work
on. And it's only you. Don't put on your
list, my mother's annoying me. My
sister's annoying me. My boss is
annoying me. You have no much control
over it. I mean, you do. I mean, you can
move away from something toxic. But in
many of the cases, you can't just quit
your job. You need that job. So, so shut
up. And in many of the cases that people
come to your life and bother you are
there for a purpose so you can humble
yourself and work on your mid, on your
characteristics, and work on your
patience and your anger and many other
things. Don't be so angry at the at the
mirrors. People in your life are your
mirrors. They come and tell you who you
are. Every person in my life is a mirror
of me. If I'm arrogant, I look at the
people as people. And if I'm humble, I
look at everyone that I bump into as a
mirror. And I look at myself. How do I
look?
Because that person is a reflection of
my name. Hashem put that person in my
life. That person is a reflection. It's
a mirror. It's telling me something.
You're walking around. you thousands of
people that person you talk to
open your eyes
is putting in front of you a message a
mirror
don't be judgmental
don't be angry don't be jealous don't
have any emotions be quiet humble
yourself
see what Hashem is showing you
so you're going to have to make a list
of the shin of the chuva you have to
Make a list of change. Shinui means
change. What am I changing? Now if again
if you're sitting tonight and saying I
don't think I need to change anything in
your life. Then the situation is worse
than you think worse than you think.
Any person that sits right now and says
no I don't need any change in my life.
Life is okay. Then then it's not then
you're living in some denial. It's not
okay because it can be much better.
First of all, if you're such a great
achiever, then it can be better. You can
never say I had enough.
But nobody can say I'm doing great. Then
if you have a problem with that, I'll
ask you 20 questions and you'll see how
great how not great you're doing, where
you need to work on yourself. So the
first thing you need to focus on is what
is the changes that I'm going to do?
What am I working on? Can I work on all
of them at the same time? Maybe there's
20 things. I can't handle 20 things at
the same time. I'm going to handle this
and that and the rest. We're going to
have to spread it out in the next year.
That's why I told you we're going to
have other classes. If it's interesting
you, you're going to have to follow. I'm
not going to run after you. I'm giving
you the key. You come have to come and
open the door. I'll put the classes
online. You decide if you take it or
not. If you don't, I still love you and
I will bless you to be successful. And
may Hashem bless you with everything
that you need. But uh I think you need
to think two steps ahead and say okay
I'm not stumbling and you know driving
you nuts. You want that special blessing
in your life. And by the way like I told
you before don't count your blessings in
what you see physical reactions.
My biggest blessing that I see in my
life is that I'm able to grow
spiritually. That's it. That's when I
feel blessed that I'm able to grow and
grow and grow to a come to a higher
level and not to look back and say,
you know, I like looking at myself
exactly how I don't know if it's
familiar to most of you. I'm sure you
saw it in one point of your life. If
you're looking at a graph of stocks,
some stocks only go up. That's it. Some
stocks they go up, they go down, they go
up, they go down. You have to make a
graph of your life. That is going to
look like the stock graph. How many
times you were going up? How many times
you were going down? What is the
relations between the going up and the
going down? Are you going up 90% and
going down 10% and then going up again
70%. How does your stock look like?
We're going to elaborate on that. I'm
going to give a whole class just on
that.
So, measure your success in how valuable
your stocks are in the eyes of Hashem.
Of course, your success. And like I told
you, it starts with the change.
After you decided on the change, you
have to have persistence. And if you're
not going to have persistence, it's not
going to work.
It's very, very simple.
The most important thing is that tonight
and latest tomorrow, you have to do
that. If you do that already on Tuesday,
you're missing the momentum. You didn't
miss the train, you missed the momentum.
And to move something like a heavy
machine like a big truck or a train or
an airplane, to move it from standing to
start requires the most energy. Once
it's started, it's already catching up.
Whether it's a plane on a runway or a
car accelerating, the the first push is
the hardest. And that has to be done
today. And today you have 90% is removed
of the the difficulty. Try to accelerate
from zero to whatever on Tuesday, it
won't be the same thing. That's why the
timing here is key. If you listen to
this lecture in 3 days, it's not that
you lost the the opportunity. It will be
much harder. You know why? Because
starting from today, you have to read
certain things every day, which I'll
explain in a second. Which means that
tomorrow you're joining, you have to
already ready read two days. No, you
didn't miss anything. Don't get all
discouraged because I came two three
days later but now you are the lucky
ones and the smart ones who showed up.
So you have the opportunity from the
beginning and not to join from the
middle and the beginning is much easier
to start the the the ball rolling. So
you need to focus. So tonight latest
tomorrow you're going to have a lot of
homework today and if you're not taking
notes then you're going to have to watch
the rerun because I'm not giving out
pamphlets with with instructions. I'm
just going to tell you to go to my
website.org/illul
and everything is written there.
Everything is prepared for you. You
don't have to do much. You just have to
log in every day and do whatever prayers
and whatever I explain. And what I say
it's not that I'm inventing anything.
There's certain things that we add every
day in the month of alul.
You can find all the information on the
page that I told you. very briefly. We
start learning every day on the first
day of we say first chapter of if you
haven't said that then say it tonight.
It's on the website. You'll find it. You
don't have to open the Tanakh and look
for it. And I have it there in English
and in Hebrew. The next days for the
next 30 days we say every day one
chapter of the book of Proverbs. And all
that is important because if you
remember in the beginning when I told
you the t of chuva you have to fil and
tora the prayers and the Torah besides
the regular stuff this you have to add
every day and if you're persistent with
that you're on a very good path of
success
and the reason why I'm saying that
because I know many people who start and
they don't finish.
They start reading every day one chapter
of the book of proverbs. They go 10 days
and then they they miss one or two
because of was Shabbat or whatever event
and then they miss. I'm talking about
facts. I check what I check with my
students how successful they are what
they do. I listen to to the comments of
people. So I know that people start
another thing that you want to start
every day from today is we read three
chapters of timto order that and you do
every day three chapters of tim that's
it. And on Yonomipur you add the rest.
And the idea for that what the BMT
explains is that on Yonipur you have to
read a whole book of tim. And if you did
that for the next for the last 40 days
and so you have two books of timur
and two books of tim value 300 chapters
which is the numerical value of the word
caper atone and forgive.
So that's something very simple. It's
three chapters of tim that you add that
you read every day. How long will it
take you? 5 minutes, 8 minutes. And like
I told you, go to the web page. It's
prepared there. You'll scroll down,
you'll see all the days. Just click day
one, day two, day three has everything
what you need to read.
But you want to add all these things.
And there's a chapter of that we add
twice a day. They do it in they do it
every day anyways. But nevertheless,
there's little things that you want to
add every day for the next 30 days. And
that's your test if you are willing to
to to be persistent. And then needless
to say the changes that you're going to
take on yourself. Tomorrow I'll explain
how you deal with the changes and how is
that connected to to the king of is in
the field. So don't miss out because
every day that you miss out will be
harder to catch.
So tomorrow, today you're writing a list
and if you don't do that, don't expect
success. It's a it's a path you need to
walk on. I can tell you that in the last
22 years, I was able to be very
successful on walking on the path of
change, of deciding this needs to be
changed. It's not good for me. It
doesn't benefit me in any way. I will
not fulfill my purpose. It will take me
to the wrong direction. That's it. That
channel needs to be cut off. That's why
I told you the first three years of my
chuva was just changing things. First
was just getting rid of all my bad
habits. Whether it was physical
addictions that varied from cigarettes
to cocaine and many other addictions,
but then it was how I would talk and how
I looked at people and judged people.
The change was just within me.
And then of course dealing with many
other things. So I have a long journey
of experience with how to take something
in your life that is unwanted and to say
I'm cutting this out of my life
completely never doing it back.
That's how you measure success that
you're able to get rid of something and
you might have an addiction for
cigarettes, other substance, alcohol or
many other things. By the way, most of
you are addicted to your phone. That you
have to deal with uh one day or whenever
you when whenever you that's something
that's to be deal dealt with. If you go
to sleep with your phone, you have a
problem because an alarm clock costs $10
in Target and that's what you needs to
wake you up, not your phone. Because the
second you wake up with your phone, you
check your WhatsApp, your Instagram,
your email, your Gmail, your what you
check everything. And just by seeing the
news of the day, you already lose 50% of
your excitement to wake up because you
start dealing already with all your
problems before you even opened your
eyes. Not to talk about the kipa that's
in the phone. So, everybody has
addictions. Everybody has weak points.
Everybody has things that they need to
get rid of. But I also like focusing on
the habits that are not good of my
characteristics.
where there's being very judgmental.
That's something that needs to be in
front of your mind. Yeah, I'm judgmental
and stop being judgmental. And most
people how they talk, how they talk, the
words they use, the the words they
choose to use. And many of the times you
don't even need those words.
So there's many things you can change in
your life that it's not necessarily
something that you're so familiar with.
It's if you're judgmental or not, if you
are a patient or not, how you deal with
people who anger you. How do you deal
with with the with failures? How do you
deal when things don't work your way? Do
you lose your patience fast? Do you
quick to anger? All these things have to
go on your list. And you have to be very
humble and very focused. The reason I'm
telling you to do it tonight because
onesh
there's no
there's no judgments onesh.
You have to understand kodesh is like a
yon kipur. So you have the opportunity
to do the same act without all the the
the restrictions and the the the
challenges and without anything. That's
why you need to do it tonight because
you need to say hashem make me humble. I
need to write down I want to be a much
better person.
And when you want to go to the next
level, when you write on your list
things that you understand that you're
doing wrong that are affecting another
person's life, then you're taking it to
a completely different level. How you
treat your kids, how you talk to your
kids, how you talk to your employer, to
your employee, how you talk to
strangers, how do you treat your spouse,
every pl in every situation, there's
places to get better. In every part of
your life, you need to find where you
need to grow. You have issues with your
wife or your husband. Don't blame the
spouse. Look at yourself.
Look at yourself. Maybe I'm not treating
her right. Maybe I'm not giving her the
right attention. Maybe I'm not looking
at her giving her the compliment she
needs at the moment she needs it. Don't
look at, oh, she didn't do this. Who
cares about your problems?
So, what I'm telling you, I'm trying to
to drill drill it in because if you
don't do it, nothing will happen. I
can't do it for you. I can bring you to
the door. Here's the key. You need to
cross the door. So, if you came tonight
just to nod, then continue nodding.
Enjoy the refreshments. And
I believe that most of you came because
you wanted to hear some words that will
put you on the right path. So, that's
these are the words.
Like I told you, tomorrow I'm going to
talk about how how you do everything.
And then every day after that you need
to tune in will be more explanations.
But the switch is tonight. Tonight is
tonight you already need to log into the
website and see all the things that you
need to do. It's not a lot by the way.
It's not a lot of things that you need
to add. That's your test. That's your
first test if you're willing to do it.
It's all for your benefit. And how
persistent will you do be? And will you
do it first thing in the morning or you
going to do it five minutes before the
sun goes down? And really it's not a
lot. It's reading one chapters of
proverbs every day, three chapters of
from the and I have a few other things
that every day and many other things but
listen it's it's all for your benefit
you know don't expect something to
happen without you putting any effort
and tomorrow we'll already explain how
to utilize it how to break it into
segments that you know how to walk on
the path of success in the month of and
if you don't do
I can only wish you good luck and that
you have success on your path and may
Hashem bless you with everything that
you need. But I'm humbly telling you
that if you don't do it, you're not
going to go on a path of success. You're
not going to come ready to rush Shana.
You're going to come to Rosh Shana like
many other people throughout the world
with no knowledge or anything to do. And
it will be another day where you dip the
apple in the honey and you don't even
know why you're doing that.
So you choose. You choose. If you want
to be successful in your life and I'm
going to reiterate and say success is I
measure my success is how many levels
did I grow? I'm now looking now 11
months back and I'm going to measure how
many levels I feel that I went up in
this in this in this year. How does my
stock look? Am I in constantly growing
up? Is it like very steep going up? Is
it going up and dropping all the time?
Is my stock a strong stock? Or is it a
wiggly stock? Falls down all the time
and I need to push it.
It all boils down to you want to do that
because it only benefits you. You're not
doing anybody a favor. You're not doing
anybody a favor by you doing any change
in your life.
You're doing it only for yourself.
When you stand right now in a in a fork
where where am I turning? I'm going to
make this ul a successful month
which by default will elevate you to a
much higher level which by default
you'll be in get better mood, higher
spirits, you'll be more happy, you'll be
more relaxed, you'll be more focused,
you'll have more energy. I mean that's
really what everybody wants. A lot of
people are focused on the wrong things.
If I wake up in the morning and for
whatever reason I don't wake up like
with like a volcano of of joy jumping
out of bed, that's not going to be a
good day.
That's why I don't look at the phone the
first hour because the phone brings a
lot of bad news. Then a lot of messages
of challenges that you have to you're
going to need to deal with. So I I
rather go first, thank Hashem. Pray,
pray, start my day completely different.
I start my day with Hashem. And days
that I don't start it with Hashem, like
now, last month and a half, I'm
traveling. Not every day it's so easy.
Sometimes I wake up in in situations
that are not so 4:00 in the morning, I'm
in a in a in a in a airport.
So or many other situations. But when I
live in when I'm in my home, then the
day starts with a a burst of happiness
and joy because that's when you realize
that Hashem gave you Shama again and you
have a lot what to do. Hashem decided
that you still are an employee. If he
would fire you, you would wake up, which
that's another
part that one needs to focus on. We're
going to talk that about that also a lot
in alul how you utilize your time. Most
people waste their time all day long.
All all day long.
And like I told you many times starts
with this all day long on the phone.
Look, you have to look on by the way on
the list of changes that has to be on
the list. How much time I'm on the
phone. Does it bother you that you're on
the phone five hours or that? Maybe it
doesn't. Maybe it's fine for you to see
the same video over and over in Tik Tok
and then share it and then reshare it
and then the same junk if that's what's
you know makes you feel good then the
situation is worse than you understand.
So to conclude
first like I told you tune in tomorrow
and because tomorrow is going to be the
next step and you know what you know
before you tune in tomorrow make your
decisions tonight. What do you want to
do? We want to finish in a minute and a
half. We're going to go pray so you can
utilize the first part that you need to
do is to pray a little bit to Hashem and
thank him for what he gives to you. And
then you're going to go home and
hopefully instead of going to Netflix or
to Tik Tok, you go to your desk and you
take a piece of paper and you're saying,
"I'm going to take this journey
seriously. I have 30 days."
The key here is to understand that in 30
days you have a trial.
If you would have a trial in this world
for something serious that will
determine your future, you would do a
lot of work before that trial. So that's
what you need to put in the back of your
mind. In a month, I'm going to a trial.
I'm going to be standing in front of
Hashem in my trial and the books are
going to be open. All the good deeds
that I did, all the bad things that I
did, everything will be opened and for
48 hours I'm going to be judged by the
master of the universe.
If you don't have this much fear from
that day, something's wrong with you.
You have to check yourself out. If you
don't have little fear from that day,
worry. Because if you have now a a a
court case coming up in a few weeks for
something minor, you just drove fast or
something, you are afraid.
You are looking for any remedy that
should uh be positive energy that day.
So if you're not trembling from judgment
day 30 days from now, check yourself
out. It's a problem. And by the way, I
see a little bit quickly from the
comments. I see the junk that people are
writing there, but whatever.
But I also somebody mentioned something
about the Gentiles. Shai is for the
entire world. It's not copyrighted to
the Jews.
Shai is for the entire world.
The entire world.
Jews, non-Jews, humans, animals,
creatures, everything is judged that
day. Everybody needs to be trembling.
Everybody needs to do something. No
difference now Jew or non-Jew.
No difference at all. Has nothing to do
with your background, your faith. Has to
do with the creator of the world. Hashem
didn't create the world for the Jews.
It's another thing that needs to be a
little bit explained better
because people think that we're like
God's gift to the world.
Don't don't get that excited, okay?
You're not that great.
When it says that we are the chosen
people, we are chosen to do a certain
task.
That's where it ends. So keep your
yourself in check. You're not that
great.
So what do you need to do?
Whether you want to do it right now or
when you leave the room or when you turn
the video off, you need to
recap what I said in the last hour and a
half and to make some decisions. Do I
want to make a change? Is it interesting
me? It's too big for me. I'll do it this
much. I'll do 50%. You have to make a
decision.
You are now in in a situation like going
into whatever a doctor shalom or some
adviser that he's telling you this is
your this is your options.
I'm coming and telling you tonight you
have two options. One option is doing
jva and one option is not. That's it.
Notem should be with you. Yes. Okay. So
pay attention.
That's it. You're the only one who's
benefiting from it. And hopefully if you
do it right, the people that surround
you also will benefit from a much nicer
person that knows how to treat people in
a nice respectful manner and not to step
all over people.
If
you are doing that, so what you need to
do tonight is sit with yourself and make
a switch. And I know it might sound not
familiar to you. This is a normal thing
on a daily active of a a normal ever
hashem is to find five minutes or 10
minutes a day to think of your behavior.
Do introspection. Do chuva. Think of
what you did. Think of what you didn't
do. You need to do that every night on
kachamita. By the way, what I'm telling
you now is not like a one-time thing.
Once every 25 years, this needs to be
done every night. Whether it's on your
bed before you do the bedtime schma or 5
minutes before you go to bed or an hour
before you go to bed, you need to find
five minutes to 10 minutes, 20 minutes.
Do you eat bod talk to Hashem? Talk to
yourself. Confess. I was rude today to
that person. I was cheap with that
person. I was impatient with this
person. So you can make amends dova. And
at that opportunity, I taught that many
time on that opportunity at night.
You're already deciding what's going to
be your good deed tomorrow. Now, who are
you going to be extra nice to tomorrow
to grab that mitzvah of thanking Hashem
when I told you before he shim the night
before you're already deciding tomorrow
I'm going to do this that person needs
my help that person needs money this
individual needs just my five minute
attention to give him a smile that's it
so you have to do that anyways every
night you don't do that every night
don't expect your stock to go up your
stock will
And then whatever you put out there,
that's what's going to come back at you.
You put a little effort, that's what
you're going to get back. You put a lot
of effort will come back. The same
effort that you put out. So what I'm
telling you to start tonight, this is
something you need to acquire for the
rest of your life. So when I say shin is
shinui change, you making a turn. No
going back. If you go back, you didn't
make any change.
Do you you understand what I'm saying?
That's it. I'm making a change. I'm not
going back.
When something bothers you in your life,
you don't go back there. Do you need to
bring yourself to the place of
understanding this bothers me, I'm
changing it. Therefore, I told you to
make a list and then you see what you
need to deal with. If the list is 40
things, you're not going to change them
in the next 30 months. in sorry in the
next well 30 months maybe yeah in the
third next 30 days there's not going to
be much you're going to select the ones
that you're going to focus on for the
next 30 days and then you're going to
select the ones that you're going to
focus later on and what are the ones
that are least important that's if you
have 40 on your list which means you're
very honest and very humble and you'll
be successful but if you have three
things on your list a little bit
arrogant
but if you don't do it tonight it won't
work and it's something that you need to
say I need to do that every night of my
life. The same way that you wake up in
the morning and you already programmed
to brush your teeth cuz you were taught
at early age that you have bad breath
and germs and whatever and you need to
br you're doing it in a robotic way.
It's a normal thing. You wake up in the
morning, you do the basic maintenance to
your body. It's exact same thing. If you
have the habit of brushing your teeth
and hopefully you have the habit of
taking a shower every couple days,
then you you know the same way you're
taking care of your body, take care of
your soul and take care of your
personality.
It's actually I can't even fathom how a
person can be five hours on Instagram or
Tik Tok and not take 10 minutes out of
their day to sit
isolate themselves from any disturbance,
any tri anything that triggers their
mind. The phone is the biggest paro in
your life. By the way, is the king of
mit is your consciousness. Where you
are, where are you stuck here? Are you
stuck here? And is the king that is
controlling and if you switch the orders
of the letters, you read it as
something that disturbs you, something
that bothers you. And all day long
you're triggered by so many different
things that take you away from what you
focus on cuz you have Instagram and Tik
Tok and Messenger and WhatsApp and
thisma and Gmail and and everything.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding. I don't
check my messages. I don't walk around
with my phone. I check my emails twice a
day. That's it. We're going to go to my
phone every second and see whatever
nonsense somebody sent. I set times when
I check my emails, when I check my
messages, I don't look at the phone when
it goes
because 90% of the times it's it's a
waste of time.
So, the fact that you need to have order
in your mind, that's every day. If
you're not going to take that on
yourself,
if you I don't know how long you follow
me, but I think one of the first videos
that I ever put on the internet is about
the bedtime that when you focus and you
do it the right way, your life looks
completely different. You take
responsibility for things, you know how
to change things in your life, and
you're not stuck in the same place. Most
people that I interact with, they're
stuck in the same place for 5 years, 10
years, 15 years. don't know how to get
rid of their junk, don't know how to
move forward. They're already losing all
their patience, losing their hope,
losing any type of
something to hold on. And you, one of
them, most of you.
So, you have an opportunity now to to
change your path, but it requires a lot
a lot of guts, a lot of nerves. It
requires to pull it off.
If you won't, then it's not going to
change. jump in the water like an
action. That's that's the solution.
Hashem puts an obstacle in your life.
Same way that the nation of Israel went
out of Mit. The obstacle was the ocean.
What?
You got us out of Mit, dear God. You
taking us through the desert seven days.
Now you're putting an ocean in front of
us. What do you want us to take from
that? That's how Hashem operates. He
takes you out of your place of
discomfort and then he brings you a
greater challenge. You're like, "Why you
took me out of Mit to find now the
ocean?"
Yeah. Then Hashem tells you, "No, jump
in the water. Show some faith." But you
don't believe in me. Not me. Hashem.
Hashem tells you, "You don't believe in
me. You don't know how to jump into the
water. Don't you think I'll save you?"
Be an action. Jump in the water.
That's the bravery you need to have
tonight or tomorrow, the next day that
you're saying this, this, and this I'm
changing in my life. And by the way,
most likely we're going to summarize it
tomorrow or the next day that you're
going to work on one things that you're
changing. If you can take on yourself
three, four, great. But normally you
focus on one big change and very small
one and and you you work on that. But
the point is that tonight is your key.
So tonight you need to find I'm not
joking. And if you discount what I'm
saying, it's not going to work. It's
going and if it work will be much
harder. You need to find 10 15 minutes
with yourself. No phone, no
distractions, no WhatsApp beeping every
two seconds or your Instagram or
whatever. Just you, you and Hashem. Sit
with yourself and think and you ask
yourself how happy I am with my life.
And many will say I'm very happy with my
life, but I still have challenges. A lot
of people will say I'm not so happy with
my performance. I wish in this
department I would be much better. I
wish that in the patients department I
had much more patience. I wish I had you
know that for many many years now I
really really don't have time but for
many years I used to help couples that
that have schlumbai issues didn't work
out and usually how I would work I would
bring them both to the same room sitting
next to each other next to me and then
ask first one of them to tell what
bothers them and then the other and see
what they say and the next session meet
each one separately and I'm not
exaggerating
one person was ancept ception all the
rest in that part of the process only
had bad things to say about their spouse
one person and I'm talking about in a
spam of like maybe 10 years spam not
like two people dozens of couples one
person in that time when I sat him in
individual without the wife all he had
to say that he is impatient he loses his
anger he doesn't know how to show love
He he the only person all the rest was
she and he and he's lazy and she does
this and she all complaining on the
other. Nobody took responsibility.
Nobody took responsibility. I am the
problem.
Tonight you have to take responsibility
and saying I am a problem. I want to
change this this and this.
And tonight you don't have to think
much. Just make the list. Tomorrow I'll
elaborate more because some things that
you change are bad habits. Some and
they're physical. They're not so easy to
get rid of. Some things are your
behavior, which that should be in a
pretty high priority. The other
department is your characteristics. The
other department is your
how much I fear God and what do I do
with what God tells me. There's many
different departments. You just need to
be now writing everything in a clear
way. Things that bother you. If you
can't do that, I don't think it will be
successful for you the next 30 days. If
you can't bring yourself to a place of
humility for 10 minutes in your day to
write down where you fail, you'll never
become a better person. You'll never go
on the path of your purpose and the
result will be unhappy, unhealthy,
unsuccessful, doors of opportunity
always closing your path, nothing works
in your life, no happiness, no joy,
etc., etc. If that's you, then do what
I'm telling you. It's very simple.
And what I'm telling you is because what
I do, it's not that I'm selling you some
product and telling you go figure it
out. It's because I do it and I find the
success and the only thing I can find is
just to come and share it. So what I'm
telling you is from experience, not from
learning from a book and not from some
theory. It's when you really want to
change and when you really put on your
targets positive things. My targets in
life is not to make money. Hashem will
decide how much money I make and what am
I going to do with this money and my
targets are you know I had general
targets but my targets are how much can
I refine myself? How much can I climb
spiritually and become much more closer
to Hashem. Most people they're not close
to Hashem. They don't feel Hashem in
their life. They don't hear Hashem
talking to them. Hashem is a stranger.
It's like something
my target is how do I elevate myself?
How do I fulfill my purpose? Do you even
know what your purpose in life is? Most
people don't even know what's their
purpose. They don't most people don't
even care if they have a purpose. All
they care is to have a nice car.
There's nothing wrong with having a nice
car, but that's fourth in line. It's not
number one. It's last after you did
this, this, this, this, and this. Then
go for the nice car. There's nothing
wrong with having nice cars, nice house,
nice clothes, nice vacation. Nothing
wrong with that. But that's not the the
focus.
My target is how do I become a much
better husband? How do I become a much
better father? How do I become a much
better Jew in front of Hashem? How do I
become a much better everything? a much
better version of myself that I can look
in the mirror and tap myself in the back
and say, you know what, I was able to do
it. It was hard, but I was able to do it
and I don't break from challenges. I
because I have a target. I'm locked on
the target. Now, every day that I will
tell you to do what I'm telling you now
will be very hard. Tonight, you have a
discount. It's
tomorrow still till tomorrow evening.
And what I'm telling you now will come
much much easier.
After tomorrow,
we're starting a new journey will be
much harder. Doing what I'm telling you
now in 3 months harder.
And like I told you before, the only one
who benefits and gains from that is only
you. You're not doing a favor to anyone.
You're not doing a favor to Hashem.
You're not doing a favor to anyone in
your life. Only to yourself.
So next thing after you go home tonight
and make yourself a list is that you in
your mind preparing yourself by saying I
I want to make a change. If I don't want
to make the change, it's not going to
happen. And when you ask yourself why do
I need a change? Because when you're not
going on the right path and things don't
work and you're not doing the right
thing, Hashem wants you to figure it out
by yourself. By the way, Hashem doesn't
want you to He's He's not going to send
you a message, by the way. You're not so
successful there. You're not going to
get that. Hashem wants you to figure it
out by yourself. He wants you to bring
yourself to a place of humility where
you see your own fault. You admit your
own fault and you're searching to fix
it. And that's where Hashem will help
you do it. If you don't have Hashem's
help, it won't work.
But you you are required to bring
yourself to that place and the only way
to do it is if you really want to get
rid of whatever bad habit you have. If
you really don't want to then you know
do whatever little prayers that you need
to do and Hashem should be with you and
you want to desire that. If you don't
desire the change in your life, if
you're not fed up with the situation,
then you're not going to be inspired to
do anything. You need to despise really
the bad situation in order to make the
switch in your mind.
At this point, not only that I'm going
to wish you success in your new path,
I'm also going to tell you and prompt
you if you wanted to be successful, then
you need to follow now every day the
short or the long teachings that I'm
going to give and post. And the way for
you to do it, I I can't cater it more
than just put it on social media. So if
you not following any of the platforms
then whatever you choose whatever
platform that uh that you like and the
videos and the information will be
posted there. Now videos are not so easy
to be posted on platforms like like
Instagram the short ones maybe you want
to do it the right way. It's all going
to be on the website and the
notifications come through email or
WhatsApp or other media. But my
recommendation is if you want to go
through these 30 days and be successful
and go into sh that you're feeling
that's it this sh
not going with the thought of this shah
I'm going to get money and I'll find my
other half and everything will work out
in my life. No no no that's that not the
attitude that I'm going into shah clean.
Hashem will decide what he wants to give
me. If Hashem wants to give me money
he'll give me money. If Hashem wants me
to find my my future wife, he will put
her in front of me. It's not the right
time. She won't be in front of me. It
won't be the time. You need to
understand what are your priorities.
Don't put on your uh on your list stupid
priorities. Put the right priorities.
And again, I'm repeating it over and
over. It's all for your benefit. You
want to get to a point that when you
wake up in the morning, even if you're
completely broke and you're single and
everything in your life is not working
out for you, but you wake up in the
morning happy with a smile on your face
and you are calm because you know Hashem
has you. He has control of the
situation. The bad is a challenge. The
difficulties it's my spiritual growth
latters.
The life doesn't always have to be good.
you look, it's how you look at life. If
you whine and complain because life is
not going in the path you want, that's
when you completely don't see what
Hashem is doing for you. When Hashem
putting some speed bumps in your life,
he's just helping you grow. It's all how
you look at things. But again, tonight
you do the right switch in your mind,
Hashem opens up in the next month for
you opportunities that you unless you
experience it in the past, then it's
hard to believe. But do it once in your
life.
I had many aluls in my chuva probably
about 21 22. I know how the year came
after based on my work in alul when my
work during the month of alul was high
performance the entire year later was
very good year very successful year
years of achievements years of jumping
in spiritual levels I'm not talking
about money right now not talking about
other you know basic things talking
about success that I'm what I've been
talking for the last two hours and when
I look back. It's easy to look back and
make a a calculation. To look forward,
you can. But to look back, so I can tell
you the years where I had high
performance, making sure that I'm
praying three times a day,
quietly, patiently, giving charity every
day, learning Torah, reading my tim
proverbs, this that doing being
proactive.
Every time my alul was very good, the
whole next year was successful.
I saw my stock going up very very high.
And years that my alul was like ah then
I saw the next whole year the
performance was low. And like I told you
50 million times I don't measure the
success how much money I have in my bank
account. That's daily challenges.
Everybody has that. You'll never get rid
of that even if you have a lot of money.
you grow, you have more money, you'll
have more responsibilities, more things
to worry about, and the expenses become
with more zeros. So, it's not that when
you have a lot of money, you don't have
issues. I know very rich people when you
owe 100,000, they owe 100 million. It's
the same idea.
And money is not everything in life.
It's kind of like part one of the the
last things in life.
My my my how I see things in I don't run
after what I need. I let Hashem bring it
to me.
I do what I was supposed to do. I have
responsibilities. I have to serve
Hashem. I work for Hashem. You too, by
the way. I first have to fulfill my
obligations. Wherever whatever Hashem
wants to give me, thank you. I don't run
after nonsense. It's a waste of time.
You're not going to get it.
Focus on what you need to do. Hashem is
going to bring to you whatever you need.
Delivery straight to your door. Amazon
Prime right away. Don't have to don't
have to work too hard. Hashem will bring
you your money. He will bring you your
wife. He will bring you your kids. He
will bring you everything you need.
Well, you your husband. Okay? So,
I can't stress enough how powerful
tonight is. If I had the words to
explain it, I would somehow explain to
you, don't miss out. Don't don't don't
miss out. You already made the effort to
come. You're already logged in. Some of
you are writing free Palestine over and
over. I don't even know what it's got to
do with it. It's nonsense.
We're talking about spiritual growth and
some idiots. Free Palestine. Okay, I'll
free Palestine. Okay,
I can't stress if I would be able to
choke you now and tell you take
advantage of this night. Not that free
Palestine, that I will choke, too.
They're very brave behind the screens.
Come and tell it to my face. I want to
see. But nevertheless, forget about
that. This is just par disturbing.
But if I would be able to somehow
explain to you how valuable tonight and
tomorrow is and how valuable the next 30
days and how huge of a change you can
make in your life that will completely
change the path of your life.
I can look back and say sometimes I made
a little decision in my life that I made
a little change
down the line
completely different place where I ended
up and that's where you want to be.
Hashem is guiding you go to the to the
place where you are going to be the most
happy
I'm telling you measure your successes
how many days in the last year were
happy days.
You can't remember that right now unless
you have a very good memory or unless
most of the days were miserable. But the
fact is try to measure how many days was
good energy and happy and productive and
I was in good energy and how many days
then not. That's it. That's your
indication where you holding. If most of
your days you wake up with good spirits
and you're motivated and you have
inspiration and you're not bothered by
the challenges and it doesn't bring you
down, no, those are good days. And the
days that you wake up no no no energy,
no joy, no happiness, you don't want to
get out of bed, you don't feel motivated
to do anything, you're not like this all
day.
It's not stop happening to you.
There's a reason.
And now the question is what are you
going to do about it? That's it. That's
where I end. Now it all depends on you.
I mean I can shove it down your throat
as much as I can. Very few people get it
and do it. So I hope you're going to be
the very few people who get it and do
it. And uh it's like I said before for
your benefit. So, first thing you need
to do is you go home tonight, you turn
the video off with the free Palestine
and all that junk and and you sit with
yourself and you're saying, "How do I
want my next year to look?
How do I want to wake up in the next
every day of my life?
What is the sacrifice that I'm willing
to do from tonight to gain from that a
much better lifestyle?"
If you're not asking these questions and
writing clear answers,
that's what you have to do tonight.
Tomorrow we'll talk about how you start
applying it and in what volume and how
much. But the next thing you need to do
tonight is go tomouth.org/tour,
not tour
and just read all the instructions and
whatever you need to do daily prayers
and and Torah learning. I made it easy.
You click a button. You'll find it there
in English and in Hebrew. You don't have
to work hard. It's organized for you
every day. And then you are challenged
and you're going to be tested how
persistent you're going to be with that
small decision. I'm not telling you now
to read three. You know there are many
people who learn Torah in a very
deep way ones the 40 days of the month
of tillim
they learn three Baba Mitsy Baba and
Baba 400 pages alto together
10 pages a day
not telling you now to go and learn 10
pages of a day that's not going to
happen to most people telling you to
read three chapters of taleim that you
can handle Right? And a chapter of
Proverbs you can handle. Go ahead and a
few other things. Show Hashem that
you're willing to give sacrifice. That
you're sacrificing your time right now.
You're sacrificing your whatever
situation you're in. But when you don't
show it to Hashem, why would he give you
the the the the fuel to do it? You do it
in small scale, it will be successful in
a larger scale.
So this next thing you need to do is go
and familiarize yourself with what do
you need to do now for the next month.
every day these small additions and you
will see that when you decide to do that
there'll be a a there'll be a resistance
with that you take on yourself to say
the three chapters of every day and
every day changes of course if you have
it in your sidul great if not go to the
website but you'll see you have a with
that first few days you'll say it good
in the morning the next few days it will
be already in the afternoon the next few
days already it's in the late afternoon
when you see it's in the evening then
you know that it's just a matter of time
before you're stopping. That's your
test. You test your persistence in very
small measure, not in a big measure. And
you persistently do this little small
change.
And that's it. And then you tune in for
tomorrow, whether you come live or you
see it live on the phone or you go to
YouTube right after and catch the
lecture. And then you have to be a good
student and apply.
And then the the next day and the next
day will come more and more
instructions. Just follow
you do that and you do it the right way
then I can already promise you and
guarantee to you you'll have next year
will be a good year. It doesn't mean
that everything that you want will
happen, but you'll you'll grow from your
difficulties and you'll find yourself a
year later looking back and saying, "I'm
a much better person, much more
successful, much more focused, much more
targeted, much more calm, patient,
happy, loving, giving, and more and
more." That's where you want to get to.
You want to get that person that only is
in the motion of giving. Most people
don't see that as a benefit. They see
that as a burden, but they don't
understand that when you're constantly
in the motion of giving. Your energy is
projecting. You can't take anything. So
you don't get the toxins of anybody
around you. You don't get affected by
the dirt, spiritual, emotional, and
physical around you because you
constantly ejecting a positive motion.
Nothing. You know, take a pipe of water.
The water is going this direction. You
can't push the water that direction
right now.
I taught that many times. You know, when
you're going to do your your tests for
rabbitical ordination,
there's different topics. One of the
topics, it's called salting,
and you have a whole section that you
learn and you and you need to be
familiarized. How do you cushure the
pieces of meat after it was slaughtered?
And it's very basic. You take the pieces
of meat and you put salt on it. And the
salt pulls the blood out of the meat.
That's it. It absorbs the blood because
we're not allowed to eat the blood. The
nephish, the lowest part of the soul of
the animal is in the blood. And when
you're eating it with the animal's soul
in the blood, then you become that
animal. Your character traits are
animalistic.
Your desires are animalistic. Your
behavior is animalistic. Animalistic.
Why? Because you ate an animal that the
soul, the nephish is still there.
Therefore, kosher meat is recommended
for everyone. I recommend also my my
gentile followers to eat kosher meat
because you take the nephish out of the
piece of meat. So when you eat that, you
don't get the character trait of an
animal.
So the question in is
when you cure a lot of pieces of meat,
you know, you have 20 cows, 40 cows, a
whole slaughter house, where do you put
the meat? Where do you need like a
football field to spread all the meat?
So what do you do? You put piles of
meat. One pile after the other. You put
a piece of meat, salt. A piece of meat,
salt. And you have a pile of 40 pieces.
The question in the oral law, what
happens if one of the pieces is not
kosher? The slaughter was not done
right. The animal suffered or whatever.
The piece is not kosher. What do you do?
You have a question. You have to go to
the rabbi. Now I have 40 pieces here.
One is not kosher. It'll be stuck
between. Did it make all 40 pieces not
kosher? Do I throw all four pieces to
the garbage?
The question the the answer is very
simple.
Anything that is occupied with
projecting out with ejecting. Right now
the meat is occupied with ejecting the
blood out.
Once something is occupied with
ejecting, nothing can come in.
So it can't get the uncoser taste of the
other pieces of the meat. Therefore, you
take that piece out, throw it to the
garbage, and that's it. And everything's
fine.
But everything in the oral law has a
mystical much more deeper meaning to
that. That's the pardes, the orchard,
the the the four levels how the Torah
can be looked upon.
So this particular concept is the Torah
telling you you are constantly occupied
with the giving motion.
You're not going to absorb nothing from
outside.
Not the bad energy of people, not the
toxins of other people, not the impurity
that is around you for many different
reasons. You are you're guarded. All the
junk doesn't come in.
There's a lot to do.
And as I said many times, what counts is
the action. Not the nodding and not
saying yes and not the promising and not
the in your mind, I'll do this and I'll
do that. Is the action counts.
Do an action. You didn't do an action,
you didn't do nothing. Talk is cheap.
Don't talk. As they say here in America,
walk the walk. Do it. So, tonight you
have an opportunity. I gave enough
information. Go see the video again and
again and again till it resonates in
your mind. If it doesn't resonates, it
resonates in your minds and watch it 50
times.
But I already delivered what you need to
do. You take to to any direction you
want to use it. It's free.
free to use. So you have a lot more to
do tonight and then you have to tune in
tomorrow or come physically tomorrow to
get the next dose and the next day the
next dose. So you obviously have to
continue following wherever you want
YouTube, WhatsApp, but you don't follow.
It's not I'm not going to come and knock
on your door. You have to come and and
initiate.
And all is left for me is to wish you
tremendous success in everything that
you're about to do.
>> Amen. And that hashem should bless you
that this month should come easy. And
they should should should have the the
clarity and seeing exactly what you need
to refine, exactly what you need to work
on. And Hashem should give you the
energy and the k and the power to wake
up in the morning with the desire to to
change to bring that change and to give
you the energy to control it.
And if you do everything that I told
you, Hashem will do that for you. I know
it might look like a burden. That's the
softening
the the the system. Do what I told you
and many other things and you'll see
that down the line it's just going to be
your benefit. So I bless you that
everything that you need in order to
serve Hashem in the best way possible
that Hashem should bless you both in the
in the physical level, in the spiritual
level, and your emotional level that
Hashem should allow you to reach to the
levels that you need to to grow to and
bring you to your true purpose that you
live your life a happy productive life
and you're walking on your path of your
purpose and with a huge smile on your
face. Doesn't matter how bad the
situation is. Doesn't matter how bad
things go. Doesn't matter how you feel
neglected.
Always have a smile on your face. You
know how I measure my year or my days or
like I said before my success
is if I had any days throughout the year
that I felt that Hashem was not shining
upon me. If you wake up sad, depressed
or you feel lost and abandoned and
confused and no advice and nothing works
in your life and what the translation to
that to many people is that Hashem
abandoned me. Why is Hashem not helping
me? What am I asking? I'm not asking
much. Why is Hashem making it so
difficult? A lot of people complain. I
don't like these complaints. Hashem
didn't do anything. You you are the
master of your own your own junk.
But it's translated to many people, why
is Hashem neglecting me? If you have
many of these days, that's the warning
that you need to take to consideration.
And if you don't have much of these days
and you feel that even with the
difficulties, Hashem is with you, then
you're in a much more better path.
But I can't stress enough how important
it is. I can't stress enough how how
much you need to take care take
advantage of this opportunity. I'm doing
it myself. I take everything that I
learn and I apply to myself. I also want
to get to the next level. I also want to
refine myself. I also want to achieve
new goals. I also I'm not different than
any other person. And I don't think that
I reach to to my level where I need to
be. I know I still have a long way to go
up.
But I'm proactive and throughout the way
like I told you with a smile and but
trust me, I have a lot of challenges in
my life. My life is not an easy life. I
wouldn't change it to any any other
person. But my life is full of
challenges, full of difficulties.
Nothing is different between me and you.
I also have to pay my mortgage by the
way. I also have bills to pay. For me,
electricity is not free. And I also have
seven kids to educate. I also have
tuitions to pay and dress them and
clothe them and educate them. Nothing's
different between me and you. I also
have a lot of challenges. But I don't
look at it as a challenge. I look at it
as these are my steps that I need to go
on to grow. That's it. Money is always
going to be a challenge. Raising your
kid, 30-year challenge.
Don't look at it. No, it's a challenge
every day. You need to you need to be
there for them. You need to have the
right mindset. You need to treat them
the right way. You need to be humble to
see how your kids behave. And you know,
my kids are my best teachers. I have
seven kids, Bashem. I learned so much
about myself and what I need to do by
looking at my kids' behavior.
Most parents are they think that the
kids owes them anything or something.
No, your kids don't owe you nothing. I
mean, they do, but but a smart parent
looks at the kid and learns so much from
the kid.
So this I can talk for another five
hours, but I want to stop and I want you
to get busy and we're going to pray now.
And after I'm going to kindly ask you
not to hold me too long. I have to be h
available early in the morning. We're
going to have for the local ones a few
more lectures in the next two weeks.
You'll be able to see me many other
occasions. Hopefully you'll come and uh
get your chance for uh whatever you are
interested in. And uh like I told you, I
can't stress enough how powerful tonight
is. Take advantage. Do what you need to
do. Give it your best shot. Even if you
feel it's too much. Even if you feel
it's hard. Even if you feel throughout
the way you're not making it, you're
