Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just Beautifying the Mitzvah: Dedication and Process 10.30.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  It has this concept of being a Hassid and mitzvot, which means
• 0:04
  being dedicated to human's father right away.
• 0:05
  So the classic example, the best example that came to many of
• 0:09
  your minds actually was, is kind of kind of evil is where one
• 0:14
  person started off the idea of serving Hashem and the other one
• 0:17
  followed, but the follower did it in a much more fine, better
• 0:22
  way using better products, either items.
• 0:25
  That's a different ball game. Kyons was not even accepted,
• 0:27
  even though he came up with the idea, but he did it in such a
• 0:29
  limited way where his head was accepted because he did it in
• 0:33
  such a stronger way. And he said actually the word,
• 0:35
  someone told me the word gum hoof, I was getting a head of
• 0:38
  gum Hoo, which means when he served the Qurban, which is
• 0:42
  finer because you bore animals and stuff, not only did you do
• 0:45
  it, he did it, Oh, excuse me, he did it with himself.
• 0:49
  He gave up himself. And it's an indication of really
• 0:52
  being dedicated to Mitzrah. And their theme is that the more
• 0:55
  you dedicate to mitzvah, it's a whole different mitzvah.
• 0:58
  Don't think it's all about the outcome.
• 1:01
  I've had the job done, mission accomplished.
• 1:02
  Because how? Paying a bill, No, there's a
• 1:05
  whole different way of having physics, though.
• 1:07
  Mayor and he brings P67, punishes the person who brings
• 1:18
  better animals for Hashems. You know, you guys got great
• 1:21
  stuff, great animals on his farm, but he's bringing the
• 1:25
  cheap stuff for Qurbani. He's that purse is literally
• 1:27
  missing the boat and he's completely misunderstanding how
• 1:30
  mitzvah works. It's not about the outcome.
• 1:33
  It's not about accomplishment. It's more about the process than
• 1:36
  is the outcome. Actually, it's more about the
• 1:38
  dedication that's developed, the interest that's there, the
• 1:41
  respect that you're giving when you do them.
• 1:43
  It's father right away. And when this person he was the
• 1:46
  cheap animal for his Hashem and used the expensive animal for
• 1:50
  himself. He's completely misconstrued in
• 1:52
  how he does things like Kwara Rue call out hey save it to the
• 1:57
  Arum Nick Barum and pen B zoom. It's like he gives an example a
• 2:01
  person terrible example, a rough example.
• 2:04
  A person grabs the holder save it to the with bare hands as
• 2:10
  he's not really showing respect and it says sadly his burial
• 2:14
  won't be that good and he's going to be punished in a severe
• 2:17
  way. Point is yelled him its father
• 2:19
  away. It hurts and then it brings a
• 2:21
  more classic example. We know this one.
• 2:23
  The Gamal talks about bequim when they were bringing the
• 2:26
  first fruits as a thank you to Hashem for being given the farm
• 2:30
  and being given the land. And the Gamal refers to how,
• 2:34
  which not really refers to how they would travel.
• 2:37
  When a person that's has a farm and he has a first fruit put
• 2:41
  into a basket, beautiful basket. They're wealthy.
• 2:44
  They would have a basket lined with gold and they were
• 2:47
  travelling. It'll be a whole procession.
• 2:50
  For example, if it said it had a lot to be kurim yelan Ole 9.
• 2:54
  It's a clear example to our eyes lit ought to know Maui durantia
• 3:00
  mitwa. What's an example of really
• 3:02
  beautiful E mitzvah shikakshani. How short of they would have an
• 3:07
  ox leading the way or bringing food?
• 3:10
  They'll be an Oxley new way. The Karnav mitzupport Zahav and
• 3:15
  the horns of the ox we're lined with gold Val tarat shahzahit
• 3:22
  the brochure and they would have a sort of crown on the ox's head
• 3:26
  Orchum it says how a Shahdin if a person was wealthy bringing
• 3:30
  this fruit, maybe in be could a hand because torture sahab he
• 3:33
  would bring the fruit in gold baskets.
• 3:36
  Vahnim be selling that to him and the poor couldn't afford
• 3:39
  that. They'd bring Willow baskets.
• 3:41
  Orchum it says as well. They had different levels of be
• 3:45
  could him between additional between all these adornments.
• 3:49
  Now one second, what is the ox that leaves the people which
• 3:53
  leaves the fruit need to be lined with gold on its horns.
• 3:57
  You're bringing fruit. Bring your fruit.
• 3:58
  Say thank you Tash have a call today.
• 4:01
  Answer is it's all about the process when it comes to
• 4:05
  beautify a mitzvah. It's all about how well you
• 4:08
  build it up and we know the outcome is very powerful.
• 4:12
  The more you build it up, the more it's built up in your mind,
• 4:15
  right? You know that if you, let's say
• 4:19
  you, you witness something and you don't know all the hype
• 4:21
  leading into it, it doesn't at all have the same effect as hype
• 4:26
  does. Hype is one of the biggest tools
• 4:31
  in the world today. It's what makes people
• 4:33
  hysterical. It's what make people
• 4:35
  hysterically happy. It's a makes people nuts and
• 4:39
  thrilled. It's all about hype, right?
• 4:41
  And hypers, a lot of times it's phony when it comes to them.
• 4:43
  It's value. You're building up something
• 4:45
  which is real. All you're doing is bringing
• 4:48
  external, bringing out what exists inside.
• 4:51
  All right, A person can say that's down and learn and
• 4:54
  there's no excitement behind you.
• 4:55
  Or they could say, you know what learning is.
• 4:56
  It's the greatest thing. It builds you up, it changes
• 4:59
  you, same thing and you're just telling the truth when it comes
• 5:03
  to any of it's the exact same way.
• 5:06
  Build it up and output excitement.
• 5:08
  And his point is covered. When you do this, your drawer,
• 5:11
  you give more to the mitzvah. Cover it.
• 5:14
  I just went respect in general. Build something up.
• 5:18
  Why is respecting your parent so significant at some point?
• 5:22
  Because if you've seen today people don't respect their
• 5:24
  parents, you've seen it. They treat their parent like an
• 5:27
  equal, then there's nothing there.
• 5:31
  They're not really standing on top of me.
• 5:33
  I don't follow his word. I don't appreciate what you did
• 5:36
  for me. I don't give it to him.
• 5:37
  I don't take care of him when he's older because he's just an
• 5:40
  equal. When you build a parent up and
• 5:43
  you give them respect, you hang on their every word.
• 5:46
  Appreciation. That's the kid.
• 5:47
  That's part of it. And then you know, right, that
• 5:50
  appreciate them too. And you only do so if you
• 5:52
  recognize them as suddenly khashuf.
• 5:54
  You hang on to every word we were saying.
• 5:56
  You thank them, you feel the need to serve them.
• 5:59
  You learn from their ways. It's only because they're on a
• 6:02
  pedestal. And the same thing is true in a
• 6:03
  sense when it comes to a mitzvah or Hashem kavoda, mitzvah or
• 6:08
  kavoda Hashem build God up. When you build God up, you care
• 6:14
  more God's say, you follow more God's way, you recognize
• 6:18
  thinking, you recognize more God's existence in the world.
• 6:20
  So cavod of a mitzvah or cavochem is not just a nicer way
• 6:24
  of doing anything. It's a whole different existence
• 6:27
  and a person needs that. It's funny when you out
• 6:29
  Cavocheman and Mrs. Schwartz, it filters into your mind in
• 6:33
  general and it changes how much you see Hashem if you build
• 6:38
  Hashem up. We know he exists.
• 6:41
  We know he's everywhere and we know he's involved in
• 6:43
  everything. If you add Hashem did a picture
• 6:45
  more by making a bigger deal of his mitzvot and he exists more
• 6:51
  in your life and it filters into other areas as well.
• 6:53
  We explained the other day how I filter this into you know how
• 6:56
  Yuri shaman filters into you that you take the proper
• 6:58
  character. This explains right now how
• 7:01
  kavod mitzvot and kavodcheman filters enter filters into more
• 7:06
  recognition of Hashemi. See the process?
• 7:10
  You think you're about to change it as well.
• 7:12
  You put a lot of money to it. You put a lot of time to it, put
• 7:15
  a lot of effort to it. That means it's a big deal.
• 7:17
  You don't put a lot of money on nonsense.
• 7:19
  You don't spend a lot of money willingly on something you don't
• 7:22
  think is valuable. You're only doing so because
• 7:24
  it's worth it. And when you do so, it works.
• 7:27
  I actually have a sentence backward.
• 7:29
  The more I build up a mitzvah, the more I am aware of the
• 7:32
  mitzvah and the more that happens, the more it exists in
• 7:36
  my life. So if I make, for example,
• 7:39
  learning to a big deal, I spend on it, I spend time with it, I
• 7:45
  break my head over understanding things, then I built it up and
• 7:48
  then it means more to me actually, and then it impacts me
• 7:52
  more. You can't simply say let it do
• 7:55
  its thing. Regardless of how I look at if
• 7:58
  you don't look at learning like something special, you have to
• 8:00
  do it with enthusiasm or whatever.
• 8:01
  No matter what you do. And if you 100% and if you
• 8:06
  don't, then you'd say with learning is difficult, it's not
• 8:09
  fun, it doesn't make sense, it's not relevant.
• 8:12
  All the challenges that people have with learning is a real
• 8:14
  challenge. It helps if you believe and you
• 8:17
  absorb all the build up and maybe you call it even hype.
• 8:21
  Hype is for vague things, it's for real things.
• 8:23
  The same is for you guys. And it's same way when people
• 8:27
  are involved in the cassette and then they fall out, oftentimes
• 8:30
  they fall out. And one of the reasons they fall
• 8:32
  out is they don't see really the excitement of it.
• 8:36
  They don't see the results. They don't see really what he's
• 8:37
  doing. I know someone who gives a lot
• 8:39
  of money to charity, to Shabbat meals and stuff like that.
• 8:43
  And once in a while he needs to be reminded of what he's doing
• 8:49
  just to, not because he has to be, just to see, he has to get
• 8:54
  a, he has to get a text from our family of someone who's getting
• 8:57
  food for Shabbat. And I I forwarded over to him so
• 9:00
  he knows what his money is doing and what his efforts are doing.
• 9:04
  All right. Is that normal though?
• 9:05
  It's all very normal. So that's the point.
• 9:07
  That's exactly is void. Marcus, you need to build things
• 9:09
  up, all right? We're not sketching anyone.
• 9:11
  We're not hyping like, you know, like they have in America today,
• 9:14
  people called influencers, right?
• 9:17
  They have another word for those people who literally their job
• 9:21
  is to hype something up streamers.
• 9:23
  So I have another have another name when I give you an example
• 9:26
  when I don't think you're political at all, but when they
• 9:31
  publicize someone's files, I'm not going to say the name of the
• 9:34
  files. I'm going to publicize someone's
• 9:35
  files a few months ago and it was a flop, but they had these
• 9:41
  social media people who were there who their job was to make
• 9:45
  a big deal out of the publication of these files.
• 9:48
  All right, that means they're there or just to make noise
• 9:51
  journalism. There was a specific they were
• 9:55
  specific more height than that. And in general, that's how life
• 9:59
  is. People are meant or try to build
• 10:02
  things up. And when it comes to a mitzvah,
• 10:04
  all you're doing is revealing what already exists.
• 10:06
  All you're doing is making people aware of the reality.
• 10:09
  It's not hype, it's reality. And when you do it, it exists
• 10:13
  more. When it exists more, it impacts
• 10:15
  you more. That's the idea, right?
• 10:18
  When we come a little more and from here we'll learn all the
• 10:23
  mitzvah. This idea is key.
• 10:25
  You need to build it up. When you do, it's going to make
• 10:27
  a difference. There's your rights, right?
• 10:31
  Hey, for example, he says that's part of the reason why you have
• 10:33
  to dress well for praying. Why do we care about your dress
• 10:38
  for praying? What's the difference if you
• 10:41
  wearing shorts and AT shirt respect this very soon and tight
• 10:44
  respect. What does he expect to do?
• 10:46
  It means you're meeting someone special.
• 10:48
  It plays into your mind same way.
• 10:51
  You know, they always got around as a kid to grow up with these
• 10:53
  examples. They got me so nervous as a kid.
• 10:55
  When you get older, they're reality.
• 10:57
  If you mean you can't meet them and they always tell me you
• 10:59
  sure? Imagine you're meeting.
• 11:01
  You can't. We can meet him in a genius in a
• 11:02
  T-shirt. We can meet him shorts.
• 11:03
  I got you. It's reality.
• 11:05
  The more you dress up, the more you're building up.
• 11:09
  That's what it is. Well, Cornano has a moment.
• 11:11
  Not let us surf. Same idea.
• 11:13
  Exactly. 100%. That's a ha ha.
• 11:16
  And it's a basuk. But it's based on the same
• 11:18
  theme. You're doing something special.
• 11:19
  You need to act special, right? I watch.
• 11:22
  I didn't like anybody getting out to be his or his.
• 11:26
  I I know his father. I I picked up on this.
• 11:28
  He never told me anything about this.
• 11:30
  I picked him in fact, that before we got to Mazzone always
• 11:33
  he put it on his jacket always right?
• 11:37
  Every single time before the big mitzvot to build.
• 11:39
  But I thought you put on a jacket.
• 11:41
  Why? He wants to build it up.
• 11:43
  So that should be our way to he builds and it's fold up and they
• 11:47
  mean more to us. I said some of this.
