Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just-Serving God with Awe and Dedication 10.16.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:02
  He's dealing with a little bit of a serious concept, The whole
• 0:04
  idea of a hasidu we've been dealing with a hasidu is taking
• 0:07
  something and working it fully through.
• 0:10
  In other words, he gave examples of Rabbi Isaiah never took a
• 0:15
  shortcut with a shul. I have this and ever did that.
• 0:17
  Different examples of people taking a topic to the false
• 0:21
  extent. So now he has two different 2
• 0:25
  examples of hasidu, 2 more elements and they are in your
• 0:30
  actions. So for example, let's see, let's
• 0:34
  see Schneim, Rashim, the two heads of the topic of really of
• 0:43
  Jew in general. And we know fearing God and
• 0:49
  loving God. These are the two pillars, Sneh
• 0:52
  Amuda. These are the 2 main pillars of
• 0:55
  the surface of Hashem, which without them a person is not
• 0:58
  really developed. You're with them, you are now.
• 1:02
  OK, that's a broad statement. Now I'll take the details.
• 1:04
  Behal, you are what is included in the concept of fearing of a
• 1:08
  shin? What is the basically the
• 1:12
  outcomes of being fearful of God?
• 1:18
  Being humble, the word they use, submissive.
• 1:22
  In other words, a person seeing themselves as small in the eyes
• 1:25
  of God is necessary. If they claim it, they fear
• 1:28
  ashen. If you have a guy who's an
• 1:30
  arrogant guy and he says yesh shamayim questionable, he can't
• 1:34
  be fully ashamed and be so arrogant.
• 1:38
  Speaking submissive or being hakhna means saying to himself
• 1:43
  whatever God wants overrides what I want.
• 1:46
  That's displaying fear of God. Suddenly how bullshit become
• 1:51
  elevator and being bashful in his serving ashen perishable
• 1:56
  means you are as shy as another word.
• 2:00
  You're very careful before you do an avodah version.
• 2:04
  A guy is doing a big mitzvah. What it is praying Kazan and
• 2:09
  Kippur Beguyden. Before he does so, he has to
• 2:14
  think a few times. He has to be a little bit wary
• 2:19
  or has a little bit questioning if he deserves to be up to.
• 2:23
  That has to be the mindset if he steps up there like he's, you
• 2:26
  know, stepping up to the plate like he knows what he's doing.
• 2:30
  He should do for the sake of your car, but he should also in
• 2:32
  the same vein, be questionable if he fits the position.
• 2:38
  He has to have a level of bash on this because that are those
• 2:41
  are displays of fear. It's not what you're talking to.
• 2:43
  That's not a position you're about to step into and those
• 2:46
  others playing if you're ever the coward.
• 2:51
  Additional points, giving God respect, giving us some respect,
• 2:59
  which means giving it the proper reverence and the proper honor
• 3:05
  and the proper dedication and care to mitzvahs.
• 3:09
  Also, someone says, someone says God fearing war, God fearing.
• 3:14
  But they displayed themselves in three ways over here.
• 3:16
  Number 1, he is humble in the eyes of Hashem. 2, he is
• 3:21
  bashful, he's not sure if he deserves opposition.
• 3:24
  And three, he gives a lot of honor.
• 3:27
  A lot of honor means he, you know, he's in awe, he's careful.
• 3:34
  He's very, how do you say he's very much makes sure he's very
• 3:40
  prepared When you honor something, he give it the proper
• 3:45
  title that deserves. He gives you the proper
• 3:47
  statutory, proper status. He gives that and that builds
• 3:52
  something up in these old sun deviation mine at the same time,
• 3:59
  because he's building up a mitzvah of Hashem to a high
• 4:03
  degree. He has some, he has difficult.
• 4:07
  He has keena osho simi's. He's zealous.
• 4:10
  Now. I'll go on my what peace in it.
• 4:14
  Ikara hira hira Tera mut. He always heard of fear in God.
• 4:20
  What's called fearing God. One of the main ways is awe.
• 4:25
  A person needs to think, for example, why he's praying.
• 4:33
  He wants to be God fearing. He needs to be something to be
• 4:37
  in awe. No idea that he's standing in
• 4:41
  front of the garden, the king of the world whom is Paleo or say
• 4:47
  he's about to pray, he's about to shake your love, he's about
• 4:51
  to go into the sukkah. All those mitzvahs require God
• 4:54
  fearing. And the God fearing is I'm going
• 4:57
  to treat them with great respect and great caution, right?
• 5:03
  And I'm going to think before I do anything.
• 5:05
  That's all displays of God fearing.
• 5:07
  You can't say you have your shamim and you do mitzvahs
• 5:13
  without thinking it's a likely shamim.
• 5:15
  It's a liking of that a person can't claim to be a shamayim and
• 5:21
  do things in a risky way. If you're a shamayim, you're
• 5:24
  going to prepare for the holidays.
• 5:26
  Yeah, there's your mind. You're going to think before you
• 5:29
  pray. It is your mind.
• 5:31
  You're going to be careful when you put on Tefalin.
• 5:33
  All these mitzvahed are displayed of a shamayim, and the
• 5:36
  lack of doing these mitzvah properly are a lack of a
• 5:40
  yamayim. The awe requires a level of, you
• 5:46
  know, care. Build his feet if you're about
• 5:49
  to meet an important person, all right.
• 5:54
  Need your fancy? Never happened.
• 5:57
  It wasn't. What's that like?
• 5:58
  This yesterday. Wow, what a what a table that
• 6:01
  put out yesterday. Wow, you're about to meet an
• 6:03
  important person, right? If you're it is Shamim compare
• 6:08
  this to meet an important person.
• 6:10
  Meeting such a person, you're prepared.
• 6:12
  You think about in advance. If they told you right now, love
• 6:17
  deal with its classic example. I told you right now you can
• 6:19
  meet the president, Joe. You think you you'd be.
• 6:23
  What would you be thinking the day before or within a few hours
• 6:27
  of it? It'll be on your mind for sure.
• 6:30
  Or you were thinking, what are you going to say then?
• 6:32
  Yeah. Like a profit.
• 6:36
  Maybe thoughts. That's no question.
• 6:38
  Maybe a lot of things going through your mind and it'll be
• 6:40
  hard for you to focus on other things.
• 6:42
  That's a level of awe. It's a love of respect and it's
• 6:47
  a level of in this concept, both his beat, you're out to the
• 6:51
  mood, you're impressed by the the presence.
• 6:53
  Now I know it's different. I know the president has been
• 6:56
  overused as an example because a lot of us don't care that much
• 6:59
  anymore. Even as he just had his greatest
• 7:03
  feet of his life, probably we still don't care that much to
• 7:06
  meet him. Also a great Rob on, I think not
• 7:10
  to get political, but I think if you look at the immediate more
• 7:13
  in the long term when it comes to saving lives, you look at the
• 7:17
  immediate. That's my personal opinion.
• 7:19
  Again, beyond that is a very political opinion and that's a
• 7:22
  different time. But the point is, is that if
• 7:26
  people are impressed by him or if people are impressed by
• 7:29
  somebody else, they spend their time thinking about how they're
• 7:32
  going to greet him. Now I know you've been inundated
• 7:35
  by WE. Used to have a guy in the shoe
• 7:37
  who was tight with the king of Morocco.
• 7:39
  Where's that? Before the rabbi's time?
• 7:41
  Oh, he lives around the corner. When he went on his third, he
• 7:44
  was on his fourth. Remember that guy?
• 7:47
  It was a guy in the shoe Wally used to talk about was how close
• 7:50
  he was with the Kingdom of Aronco.
• 7:52
  Oh, yes, yes, yeah, 'cause I'm saying even even that it's.
• 7:56
  The pink. Family didn't have to, you know,
• 7:58
  he used to go visit him all the time.
• 8:00
  Right, so I understand. So if he added the person, it's
• 8:04
  your presence. You're impressed.
• 8:06
  We have spent so many days talking about these concepts
• 8:11
  when it came to the oldest Yahim Rahim about Hashem, Sefada,
• 8:16
  Hashem. It's been all one target,
• 8:20
  Hashem, Hashem, everything. All the less, all these days
• 8:23
  have been God related. We throw in Shalom here and
• 8:25
  there, we throw in other people here and there, but ultimately
• 8:27
  at its core, it's been service of Hashem.
• 8:30
  Thank. You anyone?
• 8:32
  Pleasure. That's a great thing to serve
• 8:33
  Hashem. When you talk about it a lot,
• 8:36
  after a while you might get, you know, a little bit fatigued from
• 8:42
  the concept. I'm fearing Hashem, that I'm
• 8:45
  loving Hashem, that I'm having some ha and I'm having your
• 8:48
  shamayim. What about the the expression
• 8:50
  that we use? That's a little ushem.
• 8:52
  It's. A different topic happens.
• 8:54
  To be even when you're dealing with peace, religion, I mean,
• 8:57
  you have to respect that, absolutely.
• 8:59
  It's an important it's a very important topic.
• 9:01
  Number one possible if it's a different one, because that's
• 9:03
  not dealing with God as the other people as a representative
• 9:07
  of God. This is the all these examples
• 9:10
  about and you know shaman they deal with now these are dealing
• 9:13
  with God and they give you the examples the representation of
• 9:16
  you would meet the president. What would you think if you meet
• 9:18
  your favorite ball player got this beats all those examples
• 9:22
  and the reason that these don't really hit home these examples
• 9:25
  anymore. I think because we talked to
• 9:28
  Hashem so often and we talked in three times a day and we had a
• 9:31
  holiday season that was 52 days, all these things.
• 9:34
  And because of that we become a little fatigued.
• 9:39
  We become a little bit numb to these concepts.
• 9:44
  A person's got to realize the fact that it happens so often is
• 9:48
  nothing more than just more of an opportunity serve God more of
• 9:53
  ability to do more. And the persons you realize you
• 9:56
  have the capability to have hit out your mind many times a day.
• 9:59
  You have the capability that about Hashem all the time and a
• 10:03
  person has to display it and think if I lived in the King's
• 10:13
  palace, if I was the main advisor, These guys once again
• 10:16
  built the street. These guys who are the main
• 10:19
  advisor to Trump today, They wake up every day highly morbid.
• 10:24
  They have all these, they don't have these.
• 10:25
  They say to themselves, OK, Hajj, I meet the president all
• 10:29
  the time. It's not big deal anymore.
• 10:31
  Pretty much so far, these guys are all ready to roll at old
• 10:34
  times. So that just gives you an
• 10:36
  example of what we are. We are people who are literally
• 10:42
  living in the King's palace. We get to meet God all the time.
• 10:45
  And even though the season just ended and even though you go
• 10:51
  back to real life and you might say to yourself, I'm a little
• 10:54
  bit I'm going to focus on work now.
• 10:56
  I'll go to shul for sure. I can't say that my mindset is
• 11:00
  going to be so gear zoned in when they, you know, they overdo
• 11:05
  the the siglot every other 40 days Siglot, right?
• 11:11
  And they siglot. I think that these people
• 11:13
  running these businesses are making a mistake because they,
• 11:16
  by overdoing it, they make you numb.
• 11:19
  I know that you could. I could tell you that you could
• 11:21
  have. I can ask you to come back to
• 11:23
  life and I'll pray with you 40 days by the court and then I'll
• 11:26
  go over to Kevrah Hill. All right?
• 11:29
  How about you? I'll be there with him.
• 11:31
  I can tell you the whole thing. And you won't be and you won't
• 11:34
  be that impressed because you heard of all and you heard it so
• 11:37
  many times and it seems a little bit like it's, you know,
• 11:41
  overdone. That's possibly an issue that
• 11:44
  could come with your HMI. And that is something you have
• 11:46
  to avoid. Avoid allowing yourself to be
• 11:49
  burnt out in these areas because it's not really overdoing it.
• 11:55
  What it is instead is more opportunity and more ability.
• 11:59
  And even though we go back to regular life and we're dealing
• 12:01
  with regular business, keep this in the back.
• 12:03
  You behave, you just have more opportunity.
• 12:07
  You get to pray everyday, you get to talk to God every day,
• 12:10
  you get to work for him, serve him, learn for him.
• 12:14
  All these things. They're not meant to be burnt
• 12:17
  out. They're meant to make the fire
• 12:19
  bigger, not meant to be hodged. Rather than me more excited.
• 12:23
  You need to channel it to figure out a way to think.
• 12:26
  But it should be more piling on adding to your HMI because you
• 12:32
  will have someone whom you could serve someone who's so
• 12:36
  impressive, someone who you still need in your life.
• 12:39
  Yes, you're going back to the emails.
• 12:40
  You know what, you're going back to more God help.
• 12:43
  You're going back to more need fashion to be the everything in
• 12:46
  your life. So you're not going back to a
• 12:48
  life without God. You're going back probably to
• 12:50
  life with more God. All right.
• 12:53
  And because that's the case, because you all know my kids are
• 12:55
  going to school this morning. Am I nervous?
• 12:57
  I am absolutely nervous. Some of them have school this
• 12:59
  morning. Yes, I'm getting a phone call.
• 13:01
  Middle class. That means there's a chance that
• 13:03
  their their their protest. But technically speaking,
• 13:06
  they're meant to go to school. Whether they get there or not I
• 13:09
  don't know, but they're meant to go to school and I'm definitely
• 13:13
  nervous. You need to get to play hooky in
• 13:15
  hard days you. Try.
• 13:16
  I'm nervous. The reality is, because I'm
• 13:20
  nervous, I need God now more than I did over the last two
• 13:23
  weeks in that area of raising children.
• 13:25
  And I need God now in the business of making money more
• 13:28
  now than the last few weeks. All those areas, right?
• 13:30
  So if you need God, you need to serve God just the same, in a
• 13:34
  more normal way, but still a dedicated way.
