Day 212 | Pele Yoeitz - Preparation is a Mitzvah
WEBVTT
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.480
Hey everybody, day two twelve in our Peleoit journey.
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:06.400
I hope you're doing fantastic.
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:08.960
Let's begin a new topic today called Hakana.
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.400
We're gonna learn all about Hakun preparation.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.800
Hakana u shamas mitzvah rab preparation for shamas is a great mitzvah.
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.039
But we find many greats who are personally engaged in hachanas of shabbos.
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.359
That which a person prepares for shabbas is a tikangadal for the began of bris.
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:42.719
The rab, Rabbi Avram Levi, it's said about Rabbi Avram Levi, Sakanovracha, Shahiya Marbe Bassios, look not soh and shabs, echel echad yeah.
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.479
Then every step that one takes for Shabbos, he gets reward.
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.359
Every step of preparation is a great mitzvah.
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:58.880
He would do it all himself because something you do yourself is greater than through Ashviyah.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:21.760
So probably to saying that I think he did this because the great Rav did this because in every step that he took, it wasn't like he was just thinking about randomness, he was actually connecting to the Boriolum to every step that he took.
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:36.079
But us, if a person has someone else who's able to do the work for him, Yeser Taieshevase of Yasubadar, better that he should learn Torah, Shivikna Yadia Kadash and acquire new ideas.
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:45.519
Even Khaftish May.
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:08.080
Even something small, setting the table, um setting up the candles, old Gadda Psilo is preparing the whips, the wakes, the chadaimal kaim to shanna to be mika in the mitzvah of a chana to do something.
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.479
Uqvarkashu Gureza.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:23.120
The disciples of the Arizal have taught, Shall if he saitan shall devarim ha tava sanirus, the setting of the candles, the setting of the candles, Alpika Bala should be done by the husband, says the Peleotes.
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.599
Every ounce of Hakana that a person does for the mitzvah, that in and of itself is considered a mitzvah.
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:48.400
As such, it comes out that somebody whose actions are for the sake of heaven, that means every single day he's actually involved in a mitzvah.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.719
A person should ensure that what he's doing before the mitzvah, that he's preparing.
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.280
One of the ways to do this is by verbalizing what you're about to do.
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.960
For example, prior to eating, say the following.
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.879
I'm eating and drinking so that my body could be healthy and strong to serve a shem.
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.840
So that my mind should be clear, to serve a shem properly.
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:35.599
I'm going to do business, and to apply effort with great help, assistance from above.
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.400
Kade Lafarness has been a base to support my family, Kimushibani Bori like Hashem wants me to.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:03.759
A person before anything that he does can say some type of tfila, some type of hachana that will put him in the right state of mind.
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:14.719
And through by doing this, you're going to take that which was physical and you're gonna um you're gonna invest spirituality into it.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.160
And these words that you say, it's like a tfila.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.199
Um you'll get reward for that.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.920
Uvova, schemum devar.
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:42.000
But this is only helpful and beneficial if you actually right, you're you're not being uh you're not being oxymoronic, you're not um right, you're you're being consistent with what you're saying and your actions.
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.800
If you say this tfidah, this hachana about, oh, I'm eating to serve Hashem, and you end up eating like a pig, well, that's inconsistent.
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.600
A person shouldn't sleep more than he needs to.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:00.959
He shouldn't work more than he needs to.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.759
There's nothing that can prevent Hashem from giving you exactly what you need.
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:12.160
We can't even say how called it's code since you're doing everything for Hashem.
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.199
You shouldn't be Mabatal his serving of Hashem because of anything else.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.519
Nothing can be an excuse of serving Hashem.
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.319
Everything is supposed to be within the service of Hashem.
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.399
If you're not consistent, if you say something, uh so I'm eating this to serve Hashem, you end up eating like a pig and you're not making brachus, etc., etc.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:34.879
etc.
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.800
So then in Shemayim, they're gonna laugh at you because it's just like, what is this, a joke?
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.399
A person has to have his reasons to take mitzvah baby average.
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.040
That the mitzah that you're doing is not at the expense of an average.
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.920
So a person has to be careful in his eating and drinking, and business the haloch that it should be done properly.
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.399
When it's done with kalacha, then you'll receive reward.
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:19.360
You have to take care of your body, and therefore, when it comes to food, a person should go after the food that's more beneficial, that's healthier, as opposed to something that might taste better but was actually more damaging for the body.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.720
A person who eats something you shouldn't be eating, he's going against uh what the Tara tells us.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.439
But you have to care for your body.
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:42.240
Um was just learning last night with um with uh Rabbi Golbagro, one of um the great Rabani here in Baltimore, and we were learning Tanya.
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:52.639
One of the things we came across in the Tanya was Ubonu Bacharta, that Kurdishbora who chose us, but those words ubonu bacharta means bono means Hashem chose us, meaning our physical body.
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.120
There's spirituality in our physical body.
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.720
He chose our there's something special about the physical body of a yid.
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:10.639
And there's so therefore, you know, it reminds me when we're running this paleoids to have the proper achanas, even before eating and drinking, before we do anything physical, to have the proper achanas and to utilize our our body in an appropriate way.
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:19.040
But ishmarta muid naf sechem because our nefesh, our body is so pure and and and has an element of holiness that we have to connect to the evishtar.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.720
Wishing you all the best in Rindishan.
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.000
We'll continue with this topic of achanah tomorrow.
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.480
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:06.400
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:08.960
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.400
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.800
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:23.039
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.359
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:42.719
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.479
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.359
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:58.880
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:21.760
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:36.079
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:45.519
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:08.080
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.479
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:23.120
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.599
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:48.400
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.719
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.280
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.960
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.879
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.840
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:35.599
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.400
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:03.759
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:14.719
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.160
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.199
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.920
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:42.000
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.800
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.600
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:00.959
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.759
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:12.160
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.199
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.519
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.319
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.399
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:34.879
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.800
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.399
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.040
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:55.920
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.399
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:19.360
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.720
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.439
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:42.240
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:52.639
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.120
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.720
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:10.639
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:19.040
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:20.720
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.000
