  SPEAKER_00: Here we go, new topic, new letter, Yud.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: Let's jump right in.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yira, fear of God.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yira, la milsu zu tartehi.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: Fear Hashem is not a small thing.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: You may have seen people walking around with a shirt, it says Essentials, Fear of God.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's a non-Jewish brand, but at the end of the day, it is essential to fear God.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: A person's entire ability to safeguard himself from all things evil actually depends upon this.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: By the way, you have to be aware, there's ura and then there's ura.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: Ha'achas, nicris yourachitana, there's first um something called external fear sheer, I mean, where a person fears of punishment.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Because of the sins that we do, we get punished.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: So much so that it's been said that even if a person endured suffering in his lifetime that can be likened to that of Eov, that's not even a drop in the ocean compared to the pain that a wicked person will endure on the day of his death.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: And all the suffering visited upon him on his day of death is not even a drop in the ocean compared to the suffering that he's going to endure in the world to come.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: Shinoisan Kah Bersham Lisivam, for um they're given these people, these Rusham, are given supernatural strength to be able to um accept and endure these pains.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: Furthermore, like it says in Talam, those who pass through the depths of tears transform it into a wellspring.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Upershab Saintshmeriddin the Harinahle Dimah, the chazal have taught us in Arevan that the pr those who disobey God's will will shed rivers upon rivers of tears.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, in other words, the things that we do actually matter, and there's something called punishment.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: And there's a certain level, a lower level, a yearhitzona, where a person has this fear of retribution.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: With this in mind, a person has to take pity upon himself while he's still fresh.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: And he has to calculate the fleeting pleasure of sin versus the eternal suffering that it can potentially bring.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: He sorry, he revealed to the holy rove, the author of the Rachis Chachma, Shemid Dakim, Allah, Minashmaim, Harba Yosemim Mashu Khashbalakim Yavi Mishma Alko, he said that Hem is very particular on the person.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: He has to be careful not to sin, Kimipne Kherev, just like he would avoid a sword, Vim Chata.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: And should he um end up committing a sin, Yachesh Mifflot Allo al Ad Asher Lo Yavo Yamea Rah, he will immediately seek deliverance for himself before the arrival of his days.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: He should do tishuvah right away.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: And he should have cheratovodjesh but kayak kolashabhlazes ya so like we said many times, while a person still has the ability to do so, let him do whatever he can to return to Hashem to do tishuva.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, um namiruzu karosubizar kadushir rah, this type of fear is called by the Zayar as an inferior type of fear of God.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Shinim Sash Hashem el Yarlin Nafsa, because that's ultimately he's not really afraid of Hashem, he's really fearing for his own soul.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: However, on a base level, this Chizoni's type of fear is actually um it's okay because it will lead to real um dvekus, potentially in truth, um there's more of a pure fear of a shem.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: What's that?
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you've heard of this term, Yiras Haramimus, to fear to see the exaltedness of a Kurish Baruch who see how majestic and all-powerful he is.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: Not everybody will merit this form, this heightened level of fear, because it requires a deeper spiritual consciousness.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: It depends upon a person's inspirations, upon his efforts.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: It requires diligence, it requires studying the Torah properly to get to this level of understanding, to fiar shem with this level of Uresar.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: The main essential component, all matters of holiness is a person's efforts, his diligence.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and when a person does this, then Miritzhen will get to this heightened level of Urasar, and Mosmitshem tomorrow pick up with a new topic.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Uh not sorry, not a new pa new topic, continuing this topic of Fir Hashem with the words Via Dua, wishing you a gutin made.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you and your family figure out what to do on this day.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Listen, with all you can't fail, try a farm.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know, a lot of different people go different things for Halamoid, try a farm.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's like I feel like it's like a win win situation.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, wishing you all the best and a gutin.
