0:00 dear friends I hope this message finds you well so many beautiful sukim and so many beautiful misses contained in Persia a in pericudalid Posse caliph Chapter 14 verse one who says the cloud Israel the following you are Sons children to 0:17 Hashem your God Lotus itself has a number of different meanings Lotus code to do on the most basic level means do not lacerate yourself do not lastrate yourself it was a common practice amongst the Gentile Nations that upon the death 0:34 of a loved one or someone who was important so people would lustrate themselves they'd cut themselves go to do not lacerate yourself and do not go ahead and literally pull out your make literally means make a bald spot do not 0:50 pull out your hair out of a sign of mourning for the dead so of course on the most basic level the the essence of the Apostle telling us you're my children right you are you are foreign we believe in the 1:04 world to come and as such as much as we are meant to mourn for the loss of loved ones our mourning must be moderated our morning must be controlled but the great the Visionary explains that the true profundity in this 1:18 public is not to be found in the last phrase but rather it's to be found in the first phrase you are children you are sons and this in and of itself is such a dramatic statement because our relationship with AKO 1:32 de Shara was described in so many different ways were described he's a shepherd and we're the flock like we say in the davening of yamim avinu a father a king a master a servant so many different relationships the King of 1:48 Kings has with us and the original says how incredible is it in this public that the devotion refers to us as his children says something amazing the rabbit says who is the passage referring to motion Israel you are children of 2:07 akadash Park you are banim you are sons of the ribano Shalom who who are Sons is it the Sadiq the righteous is it the man the women the children who is it that are considered to be the children of academic 2:23 and the original says something so simple yet so profound Israel every Jewel every ID is considered to be a child a son a daughter Beethoven whether a person is righteous or whether a person is wicked bun him lamakum every single 2:47 yid every single Jew is considered to be a child of the ribono shalom the nation of Israel hagirumon ultimately even the the literally grew him literally the most disparaged the most despicable amongst them is filled with Mitzvahs like a pomegranate 3:09 is filled with seeds is saying you know sometimes you look at a posseck and in your mind you think to yourself okay who are the children the people who are special the people of Mercy on him and says Vision or 3:25 no no no no that's not what the public is saying Israel Beethoven pain every single person is a child of the riboso every ID is a Ben is a bass of you know we always read parishes it's always often it's 3:48 often it literally could either be rose color or right before the shallow here on Thursday night and I think this message always comes before how the shuttle for the simple reason that a lot of times an ELO comes for many 4:04 of us ello comes with a wave of guilt aloe comes with a wave of inadequacy or a feeling of inferiority I don't measure up I made so many promises to change so many things last year and you know what that 4:17 just didn't come through I didn't go through I didn't and not because I couldn't just because I didn't I didn't and all of the mistakes or many of the mistakes that I said I was never going to repeat again I 4:28 did it again this year and so often evil comes with this feeling of overwhelming dread this heaviness this heaviness is there a heaviness to hello sure a year is coming to a close on New Years ahead of us we know 4:40 not what that new year brings so much is going to be decided over the course of the next few weeks we know that there is a heaviness but not a dread the dread the sadness often comes because I feel I 4:55 don't measure up and so every single year on the Shabbos before we read this simple phrase you are children not servants not servants you are children of I said exactly the original who are children salesman statement of confidence that even 5:23 when we mess up which we all do and when we make mistakes which we all do and even when we don't live up to our potential which most of us do right even with all of these things with all of 5:32 these things we never abdicate or give up that position of being a child of our College baraku just like a parent learns to love their child unconditionally even though very often our children give us a run for our money and 5:46 there are times when we may not even like our children all that much but we always love them we never stop loving them and we certainly never stop being their parent and we most certainly never stop thinking of them as 6:00 our child that's our relationship with we are always children no matter how much we mess up so as we go into this Shabbos and we get ready for the beautiful last month of the year and we get ready Amir for 6:15 a month of dynamic a vote of opportunities to accomplish so much in such little time let us dispense with the feelings of guilt the feelings of dread I'm gonna just always remember like the visioner says whatever you have or haven't 6:33 done in the past year one thing is clear you are whose child and he loves you more you could ever imagine take that love and let it bolster you with the confidence to accomplish everything that needs to be done in 6:47 the month ahead wishing everyone a good night of Shabbos and a beautiful Shabbos kodesh
