Rabbi Moshe Haber Hoshana Rabbah: Joyful Service and Serious Judgment 10.12.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  Few minutes this morning, by the way, just an A clarification for
• 0:05
  Friday. Friday we went all about
• 0:07
  yourself because he started talking about ushbizin each day
• 0:11
  and whenever I'm talking akov, I was prepared for more shit.
• 0:15
  I Banu and then someone said look at the sign and Rahmi
• 0:18
  talking akov USF. So on the fly we had to switch
• 0:21
  it to USF. The reality is a sign is wrong.
• 0:25
  It really is Moshe. But it worked out.
• 0:28
  It was decent class, so it's all good.
• 0:30
  The safe is one of those business.
• 0:31
  We explain that all seven of them visit every day, so it's
• 0:35
  fine. We're not.
• 0:37
  We're not going to repeat yourself today because we did it
• 0:39
  on Friday. But I want to analyze this.
• 0:42
  I want to figure out this thing this day called Ocean Ababa
• 0:48
  tonight. Tomorrow's Ocean Ababa, by the
• 0:50
  way, just as a side points. It's a wild thing.
• 0:53
  I think it's an unbelievably wild thing and inshallah these
• 0:56
  people get freed on Oceanaraba. I think it's a very powerful
• 1:00
  thing actually. But let's understand what is
• 1:03
  Oceanaraba. So it is 2 layers Oceanaraba.
• 1:07
  We'll try to explain them both. Originally this day, which is a
• 1:13
  7th day of Sukkot, the completion of the holiday of
• 1:16
  Sukkot, the second-half of the holiday is not Sukot.
• 1:20
  Monday night is the holiday. Coach Minya said it.
• 1:23
  We treat it as possible Sukkot 'cause we're always not sure we
• 1:28
  may be on the wrong day. We know this concept of Suffolk
• 1:31
  young. So we treat Monday night like
• 1:33
  possible as a corporate really in reality and Israel gives you
• 1:37
  clarity. Sukkot ends tonight.
• 1:41
  Tonight and tomorrow is the last day of Sukkot and Monday night
• 1:44
  is Shminyat said. So to show about, sorry, I'll
• 1:49
  show you about, excuse me, Oshina about which is tonight is
• 1:53
  the last big difference is the last day of Sukkot.
• 1:57
  OK, so originally we brought down in the tour and early
• 2:01
  sources, they say, why do we pray?
• 2:04
  Why do we do this season? Ocean about?
• 2:05
  Why do we have a special day after feed on ocean about?
• 2:08
  Because the last day of Sukkot. Sukot is a holler that were
• 2:11
  judged regarding rain water. And because it's a holler, they
• 2:16
  were judged for water. It's another judgement day.
• 2:19
  It's not Tosha, it's not Yom Kippur per SE, but it is a
• 2:22
  judgement day. So we have to feel lost because
• 2:25
  the judgement on this day, fine. You're being judged on water.
• 2:29
  The entire Sukkot and the completion of the judgement of
• 2:33
  water was done on National Bar. That's how we celebrate this
• 2:37
  day. We actually celebrate.
• 2:38
  We more like pray just for more clarity on that point.
• 2:43
  The idea is that I on your, the entire Sukkot, there's a water
• 2:46
  holiday. Sukot was all about the water.
• 2:48
  There was a ceremony every single day in the bed to Mcdash
• 2:52
  on this holiday where they thinly Sukhaman where they
• 2:56
  poured water and it was a major holiday of pouring water and
• 3:00
  then and then they would celebrate like crazy.
• 3:05
  So it's a very odd thing, which is how it's a holiday of
• 3:09
  addressing the pouring of the water, a holiday addressing of
• 3:13
  the judgment of water and we'd have a great celebration.
• 3:16
  So now at the shot about the last day of this holiday would
• 3:20
  be the completion of the day of judgment when it comes to water
• 3:26
  and we would have therefore the greatest happiness, the greatest
• 3:30
  joy and the greatest service regarding water.
• 3:33
  All right, That's the structure of this holiday.
• 3:37
  That's The Hobbit, that show evaluation every day of if you
• 3:40
  saw the clips, you probably saw the clips all over America, all
• 3:43
  over the world, which is that on during this week, there are
• 3:47
  great celebrations all over the place of dancing and singing and
• 3:51
  partying. And that was done in the Bethan
• 3:53
  Mcdash in the old days as a celebration that happened,
• 3:58
  salvation that went on during the water ceremony.
• 4:02
  So yeah, what do you got? You have that We're being judged
• 4:06
  on water. In order to adjust to being
• 4:09
  judged, we served God with pouring water.
• 4:12
  And while we did that, we celebrated like crazy.
• 4:16
  OK, that in and of itself is very strange.
• 4:19
  And you're being judged. So therefore you serve and then
• 4:22
  celebrate. What is that?
• 4:24
  So I want to explain one more 2nd and that is the other
• 4:27
  explanation for this day of ocean ABBA is the day the number
• 4:33
  horse shine up. The word Nah is 51.
• 4:39
  What's 51? From day one of silly hot until
• 4:44
  now is 51 days. OK, So what?
• 4:50
  So what it means is, is that this is brought down a peak
• 4:53
  Kabbalah. Now what I told you first about
• 4:55
  the water is brought down the regular.
• 4:57
  So funny, on peak Kabbalah, they had another component and that
• 5:01
  is this, this day, the 7th day of Sukkot, the completion of the
• 5:07
  service of water because of being judged on water.
• 5:10
  And this celebration because we're having an audience
• 5:14
  coincides with day 51 since the beginning of the court.
• 5:18
  So what it's considered the day I'll pick up Allah for they say
• 5:23
  you had the day of judgment, Roshana, you had the day of a
• 5:26
  ceiling, Yom Kippur. And then I tell you Ocean ABBA
• 5:30
  as a day of delivery, I'll pick up Allah the day of delivery as
• 5:34
  if the postman, the mailman delivers outward judgment on
• 5:40
  Ocean ABBA. I used to hear this as a kid and
• 5:43
  it always got me nervous because it's always like the thing after
• 5:46
  the thing after the thing. Like I I geared up for us and
• 5:48
  now I got there. Then I geared up even more
• 5:50
  freaky poor. I got there.
• 5:52
  Now I'm done. Now I'm settled, now I'm calm,
• 5:55
  now you come at me again and tell me question about again.
• 5:58
  I couldn't handle it. But now we're older, we can
• 6:00
  handle these things. We have to understand even
• 6:04
  deeper what is this concept and how do these two ideas coincide?
• 6:08
  How does the completion of Sukkots, the the celebration and
• 6:12
  the service of the water, which includes a lot of some ha, the
• 6:16
  highest point of some ha of the audience recorders on Ocean
• 6:19
  Anapa? How does that coincide with this
• 6:23
  idea called Day 51, which is called the day of delivery, the
• 6:26
  completion of the judgment? You got two different worlds
• 6:30
  colliding in the very different worlds.
• 6:32
  One world is a happy world and one world is a serious world.
• 6:37
  How does serious and happy collide?
• 6:40
  How do you make sense of this? All right, so that's what I
• 6:43
  think is my own shot, but I think it's I found the base on 2
• 6:48
  words that we say something called Gilu barada.
• 6:54
  Gilu barada means we have an idea called celebrating in fear.
• 7:00
  That's a contradiction of terms. I can never say celebrating in
• 7:03
  fear. What does that mean?
• 7:05
  Let's explain. I'll get to what both worlds
• 7:07
  are, collide, and I hope it makes sense.
• 7:09
  And that is as follows. Real life celebration means joy,
• 7:14
  happiness, jumping up and down. Fear does not at all come close
• 7:18
  to celebration. And fear means tense, serious or
• 7:24
  stress. What is celebrating in fear?
• 7:26
  What are these two words? Kalati, What they mean?
• 7:28
  It's like this. Yom Kippur did come and it was
• 7:33
  the day of judgement, the day of completes, of stealing, and it
• 7:35
  was after night. It's all over.
• 7:36
  It is all over this idea that we have an extra day called Ocean
• 7:41
  about this idea that he hasn't called Day 51.
• 7:44
  And it's a serious day in a sense, because it's when we
• 7:47
  delivered our judgement and it coincides with the completion of
• 7:52
  the happiness of Sukkot. The ideas like this.
• 7:55
  If the Kippur was over, you went back to regular life.
• 7:57
  All right, now you're a Jew without the stress.
• 8:01
  How much do you enjoy doing mitzvot?
• 8:05
  How much after the stress is over, do you like performing
• 8:10
  with forth and serving our sham? Well, the biggest test is a
• 8:14
  sukkah because the test sukkah so far you've seen this week,
• 8:17
  it's been in and out. You don't know what the weather
• 8:19
  is going to be. You don't know how it's going to
• 8:21
  deal with it. You don't know how comfortable
• 8:23
  it's going to be. And that test proved what kind
• 8:27
  of somehow you had for a mitzvah.
• 8:31
  How much do you enjoy being a Jew and how much do you enjoy
• 8:35
  serving Hashem, even if it includes some degree of test and
• 8:38
  complication in the bed. The Mcdodge times the test is a
• 8:42
  little different because they had celebrations every day, all
• 8:45
  day long on succour. And the test was how much do you
• 8:50
  have some ha in service of Hashem in the bed.
• 8:53
  The Mcdodge during this week the rabbi is would juggle fire.
• 8:57
  The rabbi is would make crazy splits.
• 9:00
  They would figure out a way of bent over in ways that other
• 9:03
  route. The routers say if someone does
• 9:05
  that acrobatic move the wrong way, they can lower than a
• 9:09
  cripple themselves as a crazy acrobatic move.
• 9:11
  It was crazy celebrations and dancing and people going wild
• 9:16
  and it was all in the bed of my dash closest to Hashem as an
• 9:20
  appreciation of joy of our service of Hashem, which means,
• 9:26
  and this is a holiday you got to display.
• 9:28
  You got to display so far, how much do you enjoy this life or
• 9:34
  how much do you say this is difficult and uncomfortable?
• 9:37
  And that test was a test after keep wood to prove after we're
• 9:42
  done and after we got our fate sealed.
• 9:45
  Now we're going to show how much we like it.
• 9:46
  No stress, no pressure, no something hovering overheads.
• 9:51
  We enjoy it, we love it. It's a good time by all.
• 9:54
  We're having a good time. Like I brings out some hands out
• 9:57
  of us. That's what the hardest quote
• 9:59
  was and is, and that coincides with this day 51 council.
• 10:04
  What that means is is that for God to deliver our complete good
• 10:09
  faith, we needed the additional component of showing Him that we
• 10:14
  love it. We love it, we enjoy it, we're
• 10:17
  happy with it. It's a good time that helps us
• 10:21
  connect Doctor Moore. It helps us merit of what we
• 10:25
  call a delivery of our judgement.
• 10:28
  So was Yom Kippur the final thing?
• 10:29
  It was. But after that final thing, we
• 10:32
  still needed to prove that after the stress and after the
• 10:36
  attention and all that seriousness, now we have the fun
• 10:40
  time and even our fun includes God, not only our stress, our
• 10:45
  fun includes and we have a good time serving us, Him.
• 10:47
  And that's how you can explain how it coincides a holiday of
• 10:52
  happiness, the final day of the holiday, happiness, which is
• 10:56
  what's not about, which is tonight and also coincides with
• 11:00
  his idea of delivery. It's called gilu.
• 11:03
  We celebrate in in our fear of God, which means we rejoice in
• 11:09
  the fact that we live with Hashem.
• 11:11
  We're enjoying the back of the Hashem.
• 11:13
  And this idea called, I don't know what it means a delivery.
• 11:16
  What does it mean? They deliver your message with
• 11:18
  the epic a mailman from Shabbat. I don't know what that means,
• 11:21
  but in in the sense it means that you get the final
• 11:25
  commitment or the final help from Hashem for our year is
• 11:30
  because we've proven on top of the fact that we can handle the
• 11:33
  stress of serving God, we could also handle and we could also
• 11:37
  enjoy and rejoice in the happiness of serving Hashem and
• 11:41
  that completes our faith and that finishes off the picture.
• 11:45
  So what is tonight? Tonight is a day of tonight and
• 11:49
  tomorrow morning, a day of prayer, a day of service.
• 11:52
  They have in a certain sense, seriousness because we recognize
• 11:55
  what's going on. But at the same time it's
• 11:58
  rejoicing because we're showing how Shem, it's literally as if
• 12:03
  as if you went to court and they said, show me how happy you are
• 12:07
  with this life. Show me how much you enjoy this
• 12:10
  life. And then I think this is I
• 12:13
  made-up this chop. I think there is.
• 12:15
  Carl made a decision already on keyboard.
• 12:17
  Now he wants to deliver it, wants to give it to us.
• 12:20
  Now I want to see, do you like it?
• 12:22
  Are you happy with this life? Are you enjoying this life?
• 12:24
  If you are, let me give it to you.
• 12:27
  If you're not, then almost like Hashem would say, I'll pull back
• 12:31
  because it's not like he made a decision and it's over.
• 12:34
  He made a decision and now I want to see, do we like this
• 12:37
  life? Do we enjoy this service?
• 12:40
  Do we have a good, are we having a good time with our families or
• 12:43
  with a Tashem? Are we having a good time?
• 12:45
  If yes, let's continue. If no, I don't know how it
• 12:49
  works, but it's a little bit different story.
• 12:51
  They pull it back and the khatam.
• 12:53
  So Fed was a great rabbi who could know these things.
• 12:56
  He said. He said the reason it was the
• 12:59
  year he passed away. He said the reason he passed the
• 13:01
  passing rate that year is because he's Harshan ABBA, which
• 13:04
  meant his Sukkot wasn't the way he was supposed to be.
• 13:08
  That's what he said about himself before he said before
• 13:11
  you, which means there is a level of seriousness to the
• 13:13
  concept. Joy, don't pull down the
• 13:17
  serious, don't pull down the joy at all, but it's serious joy,
• 13:20
  which means serving our Shem, enjoying serving our shem.
• 13:24
  And the outcome leads to Baraka. Now I'm with this tonight,
• 13:28
  tomorrow morning and really tonight for us should hopefully
• 13:32
  be a very special day because in Israel as hostage was supposed
• 13:39
  to be free very short while from now either.
• 13:42
  And when that happens, it really hits home a little bit of this
• 13:46
  both joy, because we celebrate in the back and it's somewhat
• 13:49
  over happiness. Two years later, it's over.
• 13:53
  It's done with to a degree, and also a great degree of
• 13:57
  seriousness in a sense because see what they went through.
• 14:00
  He's what they're going to look like.
• 14:01
  We see how not all of them coming out alive.
• 14:03
  You see how much sacrifice and how much blood has been shed.
• 14:07
  And it's a terrible thing. And it gives you this kind of
• 14:10
  sense of this seriousness and I guess to a degree celebration at
• 14:15
  the same time. It's not exactly the same kind
• 14:17
  of celebration we just spoke about, but it is this kind of we
• 14:20
  call bittersweet in that sense, but it's it's rejoicing and
• 14:24
  seriousness. And I was too caught and I was.
• 14:26
  Shannon about specifically is also rejoicing series of stops.
