0:01 The Chi-Chi-Wa-Wa has gone too far, or at least that's what I thought. Everywhere you go in the grocery store you hear Mindy Worsh's and Thank you Hashem's hit single, chi-chi-wa-wa. You've probably heard the song many times. I never heard the song until I went home for Shabbos and heard my parents grandparents singing Chi-Chi-Wa-Wa, my two-year-old coming home from her mora singing Chi-Chi-Wa-Wa. I thought the world has gone rogue, the world has gone mad. For what are people saying? It's my pet peeve when people sing things back movements and don't know what they mean.
0:43 We're all about making sense of our lives and making sense of life. So why is everyone first saying a pussuk? The song goes A gemara Shlep the yitzahara when he's messing with you into the base, medrash, go, sit and learn. But then all of a sudden the song breaks out into a chorus about the Mexican tiny toy dog, the Chihuahua. So I didn't get it. So I did some research and I'm all in on Chi-Chi-Wah-Wah because what I discovered is the great Rabiossi-Zachatinsky the Rav, the Mashpia, the Tzadik the Chassid, explained this.
1:25 Zelensky the Rav, the Mashpia, the Tzadik the Chassid explain this beautiful idea how we can fight the Yetzirah and we must fight the Yetzirah. But you can do it in two ways. You can either confront him like a ferocious pit bull and try to go toe-to-toe with him, or you can elevate yourself. Don't get better, but get higher and create a new mindset in which the struggles. The Yetzirah is just like the pesky chihuahua tugging at your pants leg. Take that approach. The Rav cajoled, coaxed his congregation. Take the approach of that. If you meet the Yetzirah, elevate yourself and let the little nagging all that. I need to. I need you meet the Yetzirah. Elevate yourself and let the little nagging all that.
2:06 I need to fight my Yetzirah and I need to spend my days all involved in it. No, you'll get stymied and mired trying to make progress against this ferocious and notorious foe of the Yetzirah. Just elevate yourself. Submerge yourself in the basematrish. Involve yourself in Torah and mitzvahs. Elevate yourself in your life and your family. Become higher, and then the little chihuahua on the side can just ignore him, because it falls away and kind of dissipates over time. So let the chichiwawa carry on. Kudos to the great ones that make the zong. Kudos to the great ones that make the song. Kudos to the great Ruv for the beautiful Tyra.
2:46 And let us all take this Chichiwawa approach to life and let the song continue to play on everywhere that we go.
