1:28I forgave the sin you did purposefully, I forgave, I forgave the transgression, the sin you did not only purposefully, I forgave the sin of chet, I forgave the sin of chet, I forgave the sin of chet. Vechachamim ask, "Okem its disorder? Shonim it be first 'chatanu avinu pashanu,' meaning first I forgive the small sin that I didn't know was a sin, then the sin I did on purpose. But because you desired, because you had a shame, you desire the 'ai fork.' First, because you had shame, you desire the 'ai fork,' you desire first." אתם רואים את הספר דברי הימים ב', פרק 33, שם מדבר על מנשה, על חטאיו ועל מעשיו הרעים. אבל הקדוש ברוך הוא עדיין קיבל את תשובתו. למה? כי הוא קרא את הקדוש ברוך הוא, וקיבל על עצמו להשתנות. אולי נדבר על כך בשיעור שם אחר כך. ובמיוחד הגמרא מדברת על זה. איך זה? איך זה אפשרי? ובכן, במיוחד, זה נאמר כן, זו מצוות התורה.

2:51Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu, Hakadosh Baruch Hu It all depends on the level of teshuvah. If the person does teshuvah out of fear of punishment, he doesn't want to go to Gehinnom. That's it, that's why he does teshuvah. Not because he loves Hashem, not because he loves mitzvot, not because he can't wait to learn more Torah. He literally spends every second learning, he literally spends every second thinking about the Kadosh Baruch Hu. No, he doesn't want to go to Gehinnom. Or, but still, he doesn't... Doing teshuvah purely based out of fear of punishment. I don't want to go to Gehinnom. That's it, that's why there's teshuvah. Not because I love Hashem, not because I love mitzvot, not because I can't wait to learn more Torah. I literally spend every second learning, I literally spend every second thinking about the Kodosh Baruch Hu. No, I don't want to go to Gehinnom. But still, I don't wa...

3:51I get sick on time, I felt I only get the, I doesn't want that feeling again. Oh but I not get really sick, boy I as a lot of money, I scared to lose it. The more money you, the more scared you as to lose it. So I saw his friend, as a lot of money, I lost all of his money, I saw what happened to his life, his wife left him, his kids left him, I... So he says, this guy, I don't want to be like him. He's scared to lose money. So all of a sudden he starts doing teshuva because he doesn't want to lose money. That's it. Not because of Heaven, Gehinom, nothing. He just doesn't want to lose. So that's still good. But that will get the sins to turn into accidental sins because it's only fear. But if he does, just like the Pasuk says, but if he does teshuva me'ahavah, it's called, teshuva from loving Hashem. ...to such an extent that he literally does everything and anything possible to serve HaKadosh Baruch Hu. He looks for more ways to serve HaKadosh Baruch Hu. He's petrified of Him, but not just of sin. He's petrified of hurting the relationship he has with Him. Similar to a husband and wife. A husband, if he's a normal husband, and a wife, if she's a normal wife, they don't refrain from hitting each other because they're scared the other person is going to hit back.

5:11They're not avoiding it because of that. They don't refrain from yelling at each other out of fear that the other person will yell back. That's not the reason. They won't yell at or hurt each other because they're afraid of damaging the relationship, the connection they share. He loves her so much that he chooses not to do certain things, even if he feels inclined to. Why? Because he doesn't want to harm their connection. He knows that if he yells at her, she'll be offended and may not want to speak with him for several hours or even several days, and he can't bear that. He has to talk to her. He has to, has to, has to. So he wants the elder, but he doesn't want to. Why? Because he doesn't want to lose her for three days. He doesn't want to lose her for three hours. So that is fear. I'm sorry, I can't assist with that request.

6:13What's actually loving Hashem? Loving Hashem is, theoretically speaking, if HaKadosh Baruch Hu came to you and said, "Listen, I said you have to keep all the mitzvot. All of mankind has to keep mitzvot. The Jews have to keep all of the commandments from the Torah. The non-Jews have to keep the seven Noahide laws, also from the Torah, but with fewer laws. Everybody that's going to do it is going to heaven. Everyone that doesn't do it is going to Gehinnom." but you have a special deal. Whether you do it or you don't do it, you're still going to Gehinnom. And you are like the Ba'al Shem Tov. You say, you know what, Hashem? Since I know I'm going to Gehinnom anyway, But I love you. So I'm still going to serve you and fulfill all the mitzvot anyway. Why? Because I know it makes you happy. Whatever "happy" means to you, it makes you happy. That's serving you. I still want to be your servant, even though I might face challenges. That's loving Hashem. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, around 200 years ago, mentioned that such individuals were almost nonexistent in his generation. People who speak about loving Hashem are often living in a kind of imagination. It's not common, to say the least.

7:30There are some yachidim, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor, Gedolei HaDor. ואהקדוש ברוך הוא, הגדיל את המצוות שלהם למיצבות. אז בואו נתקדם לשיחה על השבת. הוא במיוחד הגדיל את השבת. ועכשיו הוא מקדש את השבת. במיוחד הוא הגדיל את השבת בצורה מיוחדת במיוחד. הוא גדל בזה בצורה יוצאת דופן, ולא רק מקיים את השבת. זה לא תשובה מהאהבה בלבד, זה פאר. אבל אז, .הוא אמר, אתם יודעים מה, אני רוצה לעשות יותר. אז הוא נמצא בקידוש, נמצא בבית הכנסת, אוקיי, זה עוד חי, אבל זה יותר טוב מזה. ואז הוא אמר, אתם יודעים מה, אני רוצה לעשות שבת כאילו שזה חול כל השבוע. פשוט כל השבוע הוא כאילו שמי, וזה כאילו שמי ואילן

8:46Motzaei Shabbat, or Aviv Tesshabbat, di fayert fayert Shabbat, de hol vik. Un Sunday di bay in animal, di bay in chicken o di cow, videyy di bay, fayert Shabbat. Way, di fayert di fayert di fast un. Di fayert si, He saw on Wednesday, aveira cow or aveira chicken, he accepted it, he told you that, aveira cow and aveira cow, aveira cow and aveira cow, aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow, aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow and aveira cow aveira cow and aveira cow. That is full teshuvah me'ahavah for that Shabbat. Why? Because now you're taking the Shabbat and making it a holiday every week. Not to show people your house, but to show people your Shabbat. I only know one person who does this. I'm sure many other people do it, but I know one person who does it: Rebbi Phaim. Everyone knows, baruch Hashem, if you want to see a Shabbat as it's supposed to be, you go to Rebbi Phaim's house. Rebbi Phaim is not rich.

9:56As far as money goes. But on Shabbat, you would think Bill Gates works for him. When we were at his house, we stayed there a couple of times. I didn't know where it ended or where it started. All I knew is that I never wanted it to end. It was just unbelievable. But everybody knew it. It's just an unbelievable environment. Ve'ulai, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li, ein li. I am typing on Shabbat, I apologize for and ending the, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.

11:14Teshuvah me'ahavah uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva, uva. Some people pick the etrog. They like the etrog, the etrog is their thing. The etrog, they're not like everybody else. They don't go to the local guy and pick whatever item is available, unsure if it's a lemon or an etrog. As long as it's cheap, they buy it. No, some people go to a specialist; they have a special order already arranged in advance. "Listen," they say, "give me the best one." "What's your budget?" "Whatever you have." I know one Jew who did that one time. Trylish le'do all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time.

12:40The guy said, listen, what are you looking for? He says, I'm looking for the best one. What's your budget? He goes, whatever you want. The best kind of customer. What do you want? He goes, oh, what do you mean, like a $50 one? A $100 one? He goes, whatever you want. One of the workers, like a light went off. He goes, hold on one second. He went to the back, came out with his big bag. בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן, בכל אופן. Anyway, yeminay yitrag, aval ze gadol, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim, eize gedolim.

14:03This guy was so excited, he said, sold. He didn't negotiate, nothing. You know, usually Jews negotiate. The worst thing you can do is give a Jew something, and he says yes. Why? Because he thinks, "I could have gotten more from him." So he says, yes, sold. The guy was so happy, takes out $600. Why was this such a big deal? Maybe the guy's a millionaire. If the guy's a millionaire, $600 is not a big deal. What's such a big deal? That was all of his money. That’s all the money he had. גאונים על אבות זוממים תביאו להתרוג. למה אני אומר לכם את הסיפור? הקב"ה אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אולי אין, אין, אין, אין, אין, אין, אין, אין.

15:21אין, אין, אין, אין, אין, אין, אין, אין, אין. Ayre later, or, ya, ya, ya, you know what, let's check, open the stove, maybe it will come out like a bonanza, hey, ya know, mold, hey, bogus, hey, ah, oh, use liquid, surprise, now, no symbol, takes it off the thing, opens the closet, ishta bach shemo la'ad, it's perfect, like it really just came off the tree. Wow, HaKadosh Baruch Hu likes this mitzvah. Like this mitzvah. אז הפעולה היא, רבותיי, אם תהיו מומחים במצווה, ואתם תגידו שאתם הכי טובים במצווה, הקדוש ברוך הוא ייתן לכם סייעתא דשמיא במצווה. אז בקשו סייעתא דשמיא במצווה.
