Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Ki Tabo The Path of Appreciation and Purpose 9.12.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  On Wednesday night, we discussed a certain idea from the I want
• 0:05
  to analyze it a little more and bring it from 2 parts to.
• 0:09
  The two things it opens up, Mayaki Tavola Audits says.
• 0:15
  Will be when you come into the lane as you're inherited and
• 0:22
  you're going to inherit it and you're going to settle on the
• 0:26
  lane. Then once you do so, the cacta
• 0:29
  you're going to take from the first fruits of the land that
• 0:35
  Hashem gave you, and you're going to put that first fruit
• 0:40
  into a basket. You're going to go to the
• 0:42
  Macomb, which is to go to the Bethan Batash, and you're going
• 0:45
  to go to the Gohan and you're about to say a speech, and the
• 0:49
  speech will be appreciation speech.
• 0:52
  But all that God gave us and all that has LED up to this moment.
• 0:56
  In fact, it's the speech that we use as a template for our
• 1:00
  Haggadah, this speech, and it goes from all that from the
• 1:03
  beginning, how Lavan wanted, we explained it.
• 1:06
  Lavan wanted to attack our quoth God take care of us, take care
• 1:09
  of us, take care of us all the way to this point where Doctor
• 1:12
  Messiah came out in the same. He gave us the land.
• 1:14
  Now we have fruit and we're thinking of for the fruit.
• 1:16
  That's the speech. All right, That's Bikini.
• 1:19
  In other words, this is really the real source of the concept,
• 1:23
  clearest source of the concept of Hakan at the top
• 1:26
  appreciation. A couple of things to point out
• 1:29
  of here. Number one is that the opening
• 1:32
  besooks is the words you're going to come to the land that
• 1:34
  God is going to give you as an inheritance.
• 1:37
  You're going to inherit it and you're going to dwell and settle
• 1:40
  on the land. Then you're going to do this
• 1:42
  mitzvah of Bikini, says the clear archive.
• 1:45
  You notice the wording is a little strong, a double emphasis
• 1:48
  inheritance. You can inherit it.
• 1:50
  You can just settle. He says.
• 1:53
  The trial is telling you that this is a bit of a concern.
• 1:57
  The more we've moved in, we're going to see like it's as if
• 2:00
  it's ours, as if it was given to us and meant to be ours.
• 2:04
  My inheritance means it was coming to me and now I'm going
• 2:07
  to settle on the land even more. A mindset of believing it was
• 2:11
  mine and I didn't. There, at that moment, you take
• 2:15
  the first fruit and you remind yourself it's all a gift.
• 2:18
  You remind yourself it wasn't coming to you as I really
• 2:21
  deserved. And therefore I have to
• 2:24
  appreciate that's what the moment we start to settle is the
• 2:28
  moment we need to like Kahta mehrishi and take the first
• 2:30
  fruit. I appreciate that's point number
• 2:32
  one. Point #2 is that he says in this
• 2:37
  speech, the opening words of the speech are, isn't it his word?
• 2:41
  There's something wrong with this sound singly.
• 2:43
  Ubarte la carne Shia by me Maham you come to the Cohen of your
• 2:48
  time. Other than interesting concept,
• 2:50
  what is it about Sukhmila? It says Quran of your time
• 2:53
  writes are as she but doesn't make a difference if the Quran
• 2:57
  is the greatest man alive, greatest man in history or a
• 3:01
  symbol Quran if he's the Quran got do of your time.
• 3:04
  If he's the Quran of your time, he may not even be such a great
• 3:07
  leader. Is your Quran during your time
• 3:10
  or you go to him to say this speech 1 is, don't you know, put
• 3:16
  a person down because they're not the leaders, I guess to hear
• 3:19
  if he's a leader, he's a leader. That's reality.
• 3:22
  And you tell him the speech with the word that we use is a matter
• 3:26
  of he got it. The ion I have said today past
• 3:32
  tense and then you say the speech well, future tense, but
• 3:36
  say words. I have said you didn't say a
• 3:38
  word yet in coming to the Kohen with a speech ready to deliver
• 3:42
  as if you have the paper ran up. You're about to say the classic
• 3:45
  speech and you say the words I have previously said you haven't
• 3:48
  said anything yet right Akarat Atoll are the words you're going
• 3:52
  to say They're not words You have said anything important
• 3:56
  concept or so Billy Walsh from the clear car.
• 3:58
  Listen to this concept like appreciation is mainly the
• 4:03
  promote most emphasis on words. The reality is y'all cut out the
• 4:08
  tov can be noticed in your actions, equal as they can be in
• 4:14
  your words. A child to a parent for example,
• 4:17
  how cut out the toe for all the parents has done for them.
• 4:19
  So OK, they can say thank you to their parents, they can use nice
• 4:22
  words. That's true.
• 4:24
  Maybe even more and more, maybe even more impactful and more
• 4:29
  important is how they treat their parents so that he got the
• 4:33
  idea on me. The person's coming and say, I
• 4:35
  I'm about to say a speech. It's going to be words, but you
• 4:37
  should know it's not only my words.
• 4:39
  I have already told you with my actions how much I appreciate
• 4:43
  God giving us a land and giving me the fruit, everything.
• 4:45
  It's not only about saying thank you.
• 4:48
  It's also about living thank you.
• 4:51
  That's the mighty. Now I have a certain opinion
• 4:53
  about the polite nature of the world today.
• 4:56
  OK, you call up. I noticed that we're dealing
• 4:59
  often on last week and every time you say something, I'll
• 5:03
  give you an example, they tell you what's your name?
• 5:05
  So my opening thing is my name is so and so.
• 5:09
  How are you today, Right? You're not opening online.
• 5:12
  And they said, oh, I'm doing fine.
• 5:14
  Thank you. Thank you so much for asking.
• 5:17
  OK, thank you so much for asking.
• 5:19
  Unbelievable level of politeness.
• 5:20
  OK, then I'm on the phone with this, this lady, I was doing
• 5:23
  ultimate for an hour. So in order to deal with my
• 5:26
  time, she starts, you know, distracting the conversation.
• 5:28
  So she says, how's your day going?
• 5:31
  How's your day going? Fine.
• 5:33
  Then she says there's a long conversation.
• 5:34
  It's funny thing. She says, I wanted to guess
• 5:38
  where do you think I'm based out of?
• 5:39
  I say you in America. She says, no, I'm overseas.
• 5:42
  I sound care overseas. Well, OK, I wonder maybe it
• 5:45
  sounds like I said I don't want to insult you, but maybe it's no
• 5:48
  offense. You sound like you're from
• 5:50
  India. She said no, I'm from a country,
• 5:54
  Africa. This conversation's going on for
• 5:55
  10 minutes and we're meeting like Wi-Fi to get fixed.
• 5:58
  All this, the phones to get fixed after the summer is a long
• 6:01
  conversation. She says no.
• 6:04
  I say OK. She says, you know, I'll give
• 6:06
  you a hint. I'll give you a hint.
• 6:10
  It's a country in Africa, Africa, in South Africa, the
• 6:15
  Congo, as I'm guessing Ethiopia. She says the country in Africa
• 6:20
  with the longest history. I'm sorry, it's Asian.
• 6:24
  I looked it up a lot while I'm on the phone with her toys.
• 6:26
  Look it up. It's a good, OK, it's Egypt
• 6:31
  there or not exactly. I'm thinking to myself in this
• 6:35
  conversation is one of these girls being super polite, right?
• 6:39
  So nice. If she knew that I'm a Yahoo,
• 6:43
  it's a good chance this blindness is going out the
• 6:46
  window, right? Your chance, right.
• 6:49
  And that's an example. But my point is, it was so super
• 6:52
  polite today. You talk to people, they're so
• 6:53
  nice to open the door. They talk so nicely, right?
• 6:57
  The reality is you still see people in real life and actions
• 7:01
  being much less polite than it used to be.
• 7:03
  So the words of the world have gotten more polite, but the
• 7:06
  action in the world have gone. In my opinion, real actions are
• 7:10
  real. Deals that are in America, all
• 7:11
  these people. What exactly it?
• 7:13
  But the point is also true. Usually I can't understand them.
• 7:17
  They use these Indian people we know and that we know that's in
• 7:20
  a different body. Thank you.
• 7:24
  The reality is, is that a guy that the IO was telling you it's
• 7:27
  not simply enough to talk the right talk.
• 7:29
  You always have to walk the right walk.
• 7:31
  That's what it's telling. All right.
• 7:33
  And it comes to Hakka at the talk.
• 7:34
  You have to walk the walk of Hakka's door.
• 7:37
  A child to a parent has to actually display appreciation or
• 7:40
  just save a nice thing. When we talk to a sham, we can't
• 7:43
  just say thank you to a sham. We have to actually show him
• 7:46
  size. We really appreciate it.
• 7:48
  OK, that's and it's one of a car at the top.
• 7:49
  That's the concept. And then he goes on and the
• 7:52
  speech is a very long speech of appreciation.
• 7:55
  It goes all the way back to the beginning.
• 7:57
  Why is I can talk all the way back to the beginning?
• 8:00
  So the concept of appreciation is reality.
• 8:03
  If you're real yourself and you really appreciate, you recognize
• 8:08
  everything, everything on top of everything, all that we have is
• 8:12
  a gift. There's nothing that you can say
• 8:15
  1 can say. It was granted to me.
• 8:17
  I I deserved it. I developed it.
• 8:19
  I built it. It's all a gift.
• 8:22
  Yes, you might have taken your gifts and developed them, true,
• 8:26
  but the entire thing is a gift. And I can easily find you.
• 8:28
  So can you. Ways that everything that we
• 8:31
  have could have been a different way.
• 8:34
  I recognize it was a gift. That speech gets so lengthy
• 8:37
  because of the seed. It was a gift.
• 8:39
  Now here's the steps of the parishop.
• 8:41
  It starts with that. Then the pastor says, how do you
• 8:44
  make this speech? You bring the fruit with
• 8:47
  Samakhda Bekholatov and you rejoice in all the good that you
• 8:52
  have that God gave you. So you bring the fruit.
• 8:56
  You make the speech of appreciation and then you
• 8:58
  rejoice. The reality of life is the way
• 9:02
  it works. If you recognize and you
• 9:04
  appreciate and you are much more than somehow the life is that
• 9:10
  much happier. How does a person create
• 9:12
  happiness in themselves when they stop and they look and they
• 9:16
  recognize what they have and they appreciate.
• 9:18
  And no matter what we try, because we have moods all over
• 9:22
  the place, matter what we try, this is the most impactful,
• 9:25
  effective nature. And that is appreciate,
• 9:29
  recognize, speak about it, and then enjoy.
• 9:33
  It is how it goes. Now right at the Ridge, you have
• 9:37
  them at Swell Al Maser, not mazer itself.
• 9:41
  Crap. I'm mitzvah something called
• 9:43
  Vidui mazer. What's Vidui mazer?
• 9:47
  Words of mazer. What does that mean?
• 9:49
  So this is the final mitzvah before the next point, and that
• 9:51
  is that a person makes a proclamation.
• 9:55
  I know I had a lot of different mazeras with my crop that I had
• 9:58
  to do. I want you to know, Hashem, I
• 10:02
  pay my dues. I've given all the mazer I have
• 10:05
  to give with my crop and I'm clear and clean.
• 10:09
  I'm good. That's the speech he makes.
• 10:12
  You know all the poor people I had to give to, I'm good.
• 10:15
  So you start with the Hakaratova speech of Bikorim.
• 10:19
  You go to my SER. What's the connection?
• 10:23
  Here's how it works. When a person realizes and
• 10:26
  appreciates of everything that he has as a gift, it's far
• 10:31
  easier for him to give charity, to utilize his things for the
• 10:35
  right reasons. Because once I realized that I
• 10:37
  shouldn't gave it to me, I realized he gave it to me for a
• 10:40
  purpose. That's the next step.
• 10:42
  I rejoice with it. I enjoy it, but I don't keep it
• 10:45
  for myself. I use it for other people
• 10:47
  because I recognize that it's all a gift.
• 10:50
  And now I'm going to translate it for its purpose, which is
• 10:53
  obviously everything I'm giving is a man on a mission.
• 10:55
  It's a purpose. I utilize for that purpose.
• 10:59
  Oh yeah, shares name 620-5635 Next step is this.
• 11:04
  No one stop next week. Moshe don't say this.
• 11:07
  After you have Bikuni Makaratu then you have this concept of
• 11:12
  giving right? Personally proclaiming that I
• 11:14
  gave what I have to give, which means I recognize where my stuff
• 11:17
  came from. Then Moshe says Hayom has it
• 11:21
  praise on this day. God has commanded you all the
• 11:26
  mid sword and you've done them with all your heart and all your
• 11:29
  soul. You have proclaimed that God is
• 11:33
  your God. You're going to follow his way.
• 11:34
  You're going to listen to his Lord and therefore Hashemo
• 11:37
  proclaim that you are his people.
• 11:39
  You're a special almsukhulah, you're a special people.
• 11:43
  He's going to elevate you among all the nations, above all the
• 11:46
  nations in the world. You will become the shame of the
• 11:50
  faith. You'll become the glory of God,
• 11:53
  a holy nation because of what you've done.
• 11:56
  So what does he say? He says you have proclaimed that
• 12:00
  God is special and if a God will proclaim you're special, but as
• 12:04
  I come in to help, I shot what's happened, then I'm bond rights
• 12:10
  at this is really I'm not sure he said this final point.
• 12:14
  It was after he completed clarity on all the mitts foot
• 12:18
  and he completed giving out all of its foot.
• 12:19
  There are some other mitts foot that come in happenstance, but
• 12:22
  not really. We've just finished all the
• 12:25
  mitts foot. Second last mittsfile was
• 12:28
  hakarat. The top bikini last mitzvah was
• 12:30
  verbally, verbally proclaiming I gave all the charity I had to
• 12:34
  give, I gave on the master. Then Moshe Nabarah says you've
• 12:38
  said the right thing, you've accepted God's your God and
• 12:42
  therefore God is going to accept you back and elevate you.
• 12:45
  Why has that? Has it one lead to the other?
• 12:48
  Hakaratov, I gave charity and Moshe's speech.
• 12:52
  Has that worked? Doesn't this concept, if a
• 12:55
  person wants to be a good Jew, the method to do so is you want
• 13:01
  to motivate yourself to do a little more the way you can do
• 13:04
  so as fellows. When you recognize that God gave
• 13:07
  you everything he gave and then you utilize all that he gave you
• 13:12
  for a mission for a purpose, The next step is you serve.
• 13:16
  I shouldn't for the fullest and the most extreme total way.
• 13:20
  Because if I realize that everything that I have in my
• 13:22
  life is a God giving gift and I recognize that it's all here for
• 13:26
  a purpose, then I'm going to utilize that purpose for Him.
• 13:30
  So with my money, my health, my family, my marriage, my
• 13:34
  children, my happiness, my mind, my wisdom, my capabilities, all
• 13:42
  of that, if I see all as a gift, I'm going to turn it all into a
• 13:47
  man on a mission, all into a purpose that we're all going to
• 13:50
  become. Instead of gifts, they become
• 13:52
  tools. Instead of something just to
• 13:54
  have, they become something to use and develop.
• 13:57
  That's the recognition that happens in Appalachia.
• 13:59
  So when you start with Akaratatova, not just Akaratova,
• 14:03
  Akaratova means if I realize that God gave it to me, I
• 14:06
  therefore internalize why he gave it to me and he gave it to
• 14:08
  me for a reason, for a purpose, for a reason.
• 14:10
  Every single thing that we have can be utilized upward, can be
• 14:15
  utilized to build. There's nothing, there's no gift
• 14:17
  that you have that can be left torment, anything.
• 14:20
  Your sense of humor can be used to lift people up.
• 14:23
  Your wisdom can be used to give advice.
• 14:25
  Your money can be used for charity or take care of your
• 14:28
  chosen right. Your your certain style, your
• 14:32
  your certain capability you can use to pray to Hashem.
• 14:35
  You can use to learn You can use to develop your nature of
• 14:38
  understanding. People can be used to give
• 14:40
  advice. There's so much there right?
• 14:43
  Your health can be used for you to do moments what and be the
• 14:45
  father people. There's so much that we have,
• 14:48
  but there's one recognition we need to make understand that
• 14:51
  came from God. Therefore understand it came for
• 14:54
  God's world close this the beginning of cetera says the
• 15:00
  word berecheet Berecheet, but I like him in the beginning God
• 15:05
  created the world. Do you know the one of the most
• 15:08
  famous archies Arche says the word berecheet means beecheet.
• 15:16
  The world was created by God for the sake of the recheet, which
• 15:21
  means the best of the crop, literally, right?
• 15:24
  She says. It means the Jewish people.
• 15:27
  Created for the Jewish people for the Torah.
• 15:30
  OK, for the Torah to be learnt and, and and followed and for
• 15:35
  the mitzvah of bikorim. I got the first two.
• 15:39
  Create the world for the Jewish people.
• 15:41
  I understand versiation. I understand.
• 15:43
  OK, fine, I understand. Tell that point.
• 15:45
  I understand. Create the world for the Torah.
• 15:47
  But bikorim is an mitzvah of appreciation.
• 15:50
  I understand. It's an important idea.
• 15:52
  Is it to be top? Is it even on the top ten?
• 15:56
  It doesn't make the round Rushmore mitzvot.
• 15:58
  It doesn't make the top 10, doesn't make the Hall of Fame.
• 16:01
  It doesn't make the All Star game whooping names.
• 16:04
  It's on the commandments. So why the be cream of the
• 16:06
  purpose of the creation of the world?
• 16:09
  Is that what works? I'm like working together.
• 16:11
  They all work together. Exactly.
• 16:13
  God created the world with the Jewish people.
• 16:15
  The purpose of the Jewish people is to develop and utilize it
• 16:18
  throughout for the sake of the world, and the way the Jewish
• 16:21
  people, we will be able to fulfill and utilize the Torah in
• 16:25
  the fullest way, is when we appreciate the gifts that God
• 16:28
  gave us. If I recognize all my gifts as
• 16:31
  tools, I'm going to use those tools to build.
• 16:34
  And there's so much building you and I can do.
• 16:37
  It's unbelievable. We just don't realize it is so
• 16:39
  much a person can accomplish. There's so much building a
• 16:42
  person can do, but he needs to internalize that he's giving
• 16:45
  tools. And I think this is a good
• 16:47
  mentality during the season, you prepare for Roshanna and you
• 16:50
  say, what can I do differently? What can I build?
• 16:53
  Understand there's got to be 1000 small things you and I can
• 16:58
  do because we have 1000 small gifts or big gifts, All right?
• 17:03
  And that's the mindset. And you internalize that
• 17:05
  everything you have as a gift, you're trying to say, if you
• 17:07
  gave me this gift, how can I build with this gift?
• 17:10
  If you gave me this, how can I turn this into a tool to develop
• 17:14
  the world? And there's so much developing
• 17:16
  you can have. You have time, figure out what
• 17:19
  you can do with your time. You have money?
• 17:22
  Figure out you can best help people.
• 17:24
  You have wisdom, give advice. I understand it's all.
• 17:27
  Again, that's the idea. Keep going to go take care that
• 17:29
  they'll be in the in the the widow.
• 17:32
  Right, exactly again and all we. Use together.
• 17:35
  Right. Because of both of you, people
• 17:36
  don't have been hiring people. Don't have money?
• 17:38
  Exactly. And don't.
• 17:39
  Keep it to. Yourself, that's it.
• 17:40
  So you have an old pleasure three star process.
• 17:42
  It opens up with appreciation, then goes to the mitzvah of
• 17:47
  saying I gave all my slack I had to give, and then it goes to
• 17:50
