0:01 From one's first day in the classroom in Kita-Aleph in kindergarten until he graduates 12th grade. It seems like it's all any teacher talks about When a person goes to high school, as Rabbeim and his teachers. They talk the same talk, promoting the same idea The rough sermon on Shabbat and the G'day-le-oy-lam. They all talk about it Incessantly because clearly it is supremely important in our Avaidas Hashem. The topic, the idea, the category is Midos Tovos. Why she makes sure to share your toys, yaankala. Did you give Tzedaka today And as you grow up, did you pay your shoulders?
0:43 Did you donate generously to the poor? Did you do things with alacrity, getting rid of laziness? The roughs, drusha, the G'day-le-oy-lam they all are trying to help us perfect Our Midos know. I ask you, in the name of the Holy Rabbi Habitat, as he writes in his Share Kedusha, why It's not even a mitzvah. Did you know that There is no mentioning of a commandment? It's not one of the 613 character rectification. There's no mitzvah of Midos Tovos. Why not Give us a mitzvah? after all, it's what everyone talks about. Or why is everyone talking about, if it's not a mitzvah, zakt Rab-Khaim Vita. Because Midos Tovos is assumed, because a person has no connection to the Almighty's Holy Tyra.
1:28 If he has character flaws. Poor Midos is the Hakkana Character. Rectification is the preparation. Building ourselves up, eradicating lazy tendencies, becoming altruistic and giving Midos Tovos that is the preparation for Tyra. The Almighty doesn't need to command you, because how could a person ever be asked to give Siddhaka if he's not a giving person, to wake up and say Kriyashima every day, if he's not someone who lives with a Lakhritan? You don't ask the pilot when you get on an airplane Do you have a degree in flight And did you go to flight school?
2:09 and you don't ask the doctor you have your medical degree? You don't check at all the preparation things. It's assumed that they have these qualities. So every single time that you beat another bad Mida and you build yourself up, you are becoming that much more Muchan for the Torah to then enter your body and then work its magical powers Elevate, prepare yourself for a life of Tyra and listen to all of those great rabbis. Give these droshos so that we can be Muchan for a beautiful life of Tyra.
