The Holidays Were Given to Us as a Gift | Pele Yoetz | Hachzek Day 149

Alright, Hevra, hope you're doing well. Today is Sunday morning. We continue our Pela Yoids journey. Today's 149 in the cycle. Here we go. Today's a new topic, the topic of Yumim Taiven holidays. If you found my voice, please do I shall a seveda. I lost my voice. I don't know if you find it somewhere, just please call me or send me an email, rabbistromo at gmail.com. Okay. Yodua Maima Rabusenus Racham or Low Nitnu Shabasas Yam Temily Sell Elasagitar. Yum Taivan Shabbos were given to us to s immerse ourselves in Torah the Hain and the Ovon but due to our sins by Duris Alolo in our generation. low Nitnu Yam type Elol Amovi Giv Lusebrehovaskir Levakami Bayas Lebaias. But what do we do instead of immersing ourselves in Torah so often, we end up just going from this house to that house instead of focusing on the spiritual elevated potential of the days, um, you know, we just view it as a time to meet our friends. Okay, that's what the Palayo says. And then finally, when you come back home, you're exhausted to the point that you can't even enjoy your Yum Tav meal. And therefore, what emerges is that the Yan Mimtav end up becoming days of affliction. And it's even possible that a person will have more peace of mind on Tishabov than he has on a Yom Tov. Wow. Vavir Gorer Severa, one sin leads to the next. Bital Teva Harbus Divarmat, right? When a person is neglecting Torah study, it leads to other idle matters, and then potentially um for b forbidden to forbidden speech. Another issue that is common is that we often it often can lead to hatred. Meaning it's like who invited who? This person visits that person, but then he wasn't invited to that guy, and it becomes like a point of contention. Oh, em eyovakul, or let's say if the person does not visit the poor people who dwell in the wealthy neighborhood, again, then ill feelings can come about. Or perhaps even um in the wealthy people's neighborhood, the poor people will take offense. And I'm very concerned, says the Pellet, Riva Mr Albonam. Right? I I'm very concerned for the possible punishments that can come about through this. Shamus Dakim is the people they'll feel demoralized and they will complain. These poor people, um, or if they're not feeling like they're being paid attention to or taken care of, they they're gonna say, if only we had money, then we would also uh be shown these honors. How great would it be if a person can absolve him absolve himself and say, Vyeshaves? Instead, and Shavas Yamtav said going out from this place to that place, he's just gonna sit in his own home in serenity, Vyasukba Tara, Kify Diyasu Davarbito. He's gonna delve in the Torah. According to his abilities, he's gonna study the Allah's relevant, each thing on its own, a viasa seudasa. He's gonna conduct his Yamtif meal with joy, with with chios, with enthusiasm. He's gonna enjoy a nap without feeling like he needs to hurry here or there and lose his rest entirely. He's gonna be able to increase his joy in his divine service. He's gonna be able to merit joy and gladness. A person should entertain thoughts that bring him joy in doing the mitzvos, but never to bring to a level of frivolous enjoyment, can see them hammarbe lishtus yain, right? Like fools who increase in their drinking of wine, vi shaker, and liquor, v yutnighum call osbishir, gaibish, and they end up um singing these terrible songs of of lust, songs of idol worship him worshiping. When he shall shame mitzah omim sha'isim, yes, they're saying, Oh, we're doing this for the mitzvah, we're drinking for this good reason and that reason because we're supposed to be happy. Aval Zehu Atas Yitzahara, Aveira Hibiyadam. This is the Itzahar talking, Hashematogi Khaper Baadab. May Hashem grant atonement for them. Aval Hamyashim Artosem. But those who seek to better their ways, Yitnu Alibam Dover Biito, a person should take into heart a batter at its time, Al Mah, Yahweh, to contemplate for what purpose were these Yahweh days given to us? What are they for? What are we supposed to focus on? A person should delve into these thoughts of purity, understanding how great is our lot that we have this. From among all the nations, the Chiba Yaser Nodas Lanovolo Zaz mechabenu. Hashem has demonstrated his great love for us. He never ceases to express that dear love to us. He gave us these holidays, to give to us, to provide to us on every single facet of our of our being. a shafta kedushavatara to bestow upon us um great holiness and purity so um behira shem wants to give us merit hit us his chosen nation the fikahirbalam to therefore he has given us an abundance of torah and mitzusivan alusmayom u tov ulomitsu ychashivanovikovelonusucha to the extent that he commanded us to be joyful a mitsu to be joyful how amazing is that we could get shafts and receive reward by just tapping into the the the festivities of the day And then we go to reward for being in a state of suncha. It's an unbelievable opportunity. But there's many such mitzvahs that reward us for doing something that actually benefits us. Is there anything sweeter than this? A person should think like this and then take it to heart. Vyamek Bimachash and think about these matters deeply. But if it's much in a way where it's going to get to a point in his life where it's impossible for him not to rejoice um in everything that he sh that he has and all of Hashem's uh kindness that he provides to him. Ritz Hashem, tomorrow, Monday will pick up with this section of Yam Tovim with the words of Akla. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the day.
