PLAY NICELY WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN

What if living a life of kindness could transform your relationships and secure your place in the world to come? Join us for a heartfelt discussion inspired by the teachings of HaKadosh Baruch Hu as we explore the profound concept that we are all siblings, children of one divine Father. This episode underscores the unparalleled significance of benevolence and the eternal rewards that acts of kindness bring. It's a call to It'son, especially during the reflective month of Elul, to reset our mindsets and strive for personal growth by mending our relationships with others.

We'll break down Rambam's laws of repentance, revealing that true atonement on the Day of Atonement is incomplete without making peace with those we've wronged. We've why seeking forgiveness and fostering harmonious relationships are not just spiritual niceties but divine imperatives. You'll be inspired to take meaningful steps towards genuine repentance and live in a way that honors our shared divine heritage. Don't miss this mindful conversation that motivates you to nurture better connections and create a more compassionate world.

0:05 You are children of HaKadosh Baruch Hu, of God Almighty, and just as the Pesach says that we are children, that kind of also makes us all siblings, brothers and sisters, because we share the same Father and therefore it is our job to play nicely with the other children. That's what God wants when he drops us off at Mora at daycare. He wants that we should share our blocks and eat our cheese sticks and applesauce. There are an incredibly few amount of mitzvos that are rewarded as greatly as playing nicely with the other children, as taking to heart that there are certain mitzvos that have no quantity.

0:59 God wants us to keep giving our blocks away and keep being benevolent and kind to our fellow compatriots. Not only that, but acting kindly towards our friends, to the other children and the playgroup of earth. It's also something that is so beloved that God keeps the keren. He keeps the reward in check, not only in this world. The reward is there for you, perfectly intact, for your righteous giving towards other children in the next world.

1:42 Our job during Elul specifically during Elul, because we should be getting this back in our heads is to be resetting our mindset of playing nice with the other children. And if it's not just to talk inspiration, then just keep in mind the Rambam, the laws of repenting, that, with all of the potency of the day of Yom Kippur, ein HaTshuva V'Lom Yom HaKippur, mechaprim Ela Avera Sheben Odom LaMakom, all of Tshuva and all of the Day of Atonement does not rectify any sins that were done between Ben Odom Lechaveru, avera Sheben Odom Lechaveru.

2:26 Not sharing your blocks God forbid taking something from your friend, not acting nicely or playing nicely with the other children. The Day of Atonement does not help until you return the blocks and be Mephiasim and ask him for forgiveness. Our job during Elul is to recall and truly take to heart just how important it is to play nicely with the other children. They really are our siblings Bonim Atem, lashem, elokeichem. And like this, you don't need Yom Kippur to atone for those sins between man and his fellow, because you've already taken care of them, appeased everyone that you've hurt. To atone for those sins between man and his fellow because you've already taken care of them, appeased everyone that you've hurt and you've taken to heart to refrain from doing such things in the future.

3:12 That's how you repent and share your blocks with your fellow citizens. Thank you.
