0:00 welcome to this week's virtual drusha this week we have the incredible privilege repairs has you know and every parish is beautiful every parish is magnificent but Persia is unique in that it's in the form of a Shira it's a song 0:12 and most shrabino opens this song literally again the heavens should listen and I will speak and let the Earth hear the utterances of my mouth most shrubbing was not just delivering a Shira but the Shira itself is a form of 0:30 testimony you see most Rabino wants to make sure that Clan Lisa understands that in a relationship with Hashem there are expectations like any relationship and if you meet the expectations you could expect certain things you don't meet the expectations then 0:46 unfortunately there are ramifications as well and spells out the details of these relationship expectations and part of the Shira focuses in a very sad way on cloudy thrills failure to meet the expectations sometimes most rabbin who says we're just not 1:06 as committed as we should be in our relationship with Hashem and one of the ways that moshrabino expressed this is an incredible Posse in parekh lamid days chapter 32 verse 18. 1:19 moshebenu says which literally translated means as follows you forgot the mighty Rock who birthed you the mighty Rock being a reference to akalisparagu that is you forgot the God who delivered you and of course Muslim is singing a beautiful poetic 1:42 way you forget Hashem that sometimes as life goes on we just forget Hashem now often this happens we know in times of Good Times of difficulty times of distress there are no atheists in the Foxhole everyone remembers when there's an 1:56 acute need but sometimes when life is good things are tranquil everything is going as it should be sometimes we forget Hashem you are forgotten the mighty Rock who birthed you forgot the God who delivered you and the Greek says something 2:14 so incredibly beautiful and I want to quote you the rabbit says one of the greatest gifts that Hashem has given us is the power to forget incredible why he says because through through the power of forgetfulness of forgetting we're able 2:37 to forget the difficulties the tragedies of the past and move forward now of course what does the khaskar mean about that so if you think about it like on a cloud Israel because it's think it's easier to imagine this on 2:50 a on a national than an individual level Kalisa has been through so many traumas and so many tragedies and so many difficulties and yet you would think that because of all of that we would be a people who would lack 3:00 hope lack optimism lack a sense of purpose lacking ability to move forward but yet amazingly enough cloudy soil how would you categorize us says because sometimes right who has given us an incredible gift the gift of the gift of Tashi 3:22 the ability to forget perhaps what the katsuka means is it's not as much forget but it's the ability to sometimes push things into the recesses doesn't live on my frontal lobe it doesn't have to be part of my Consciousness all 3:35 of the time and the truth is even on a personal level who gives us the power to forget the power to move forward are there certain things in life that you cannot forget of course but if you think about it 3:48 all of us have failures in life all of us have dramatic mistakes and missteps and hopefully the goal is I don't live with them on my primary Consciousness every single day I but it was so dramatic it was so incredible 4:01 gives us the gift of forgetting the gift of the gift of Tashi the gift of forgetfulness it's a gift because think about it if I remembered every single thing that went wrong if I remembered every single tragedy every single trauma 4:18 if I remember every single thing all of the time it would prevent me from moving forward in my life it would prevent me again to be clear because not suggesting that we forget everything there are certain things that happen to 4:32 us in life that we cannot forget that will always be a part of us but there's what we'll call a schnickel forgetfulness a little bit that it doesn't have to live on my frontal lobe doesn't have to live my primary 4:42 Consciousness I'm able to push it back a little bit so that I'm able to move myself forward in life the greatest gift says the khaskar de la College Park has given us is the ability to forget and what is moshrabino 4:55 saying sometimes the sin we commit is that we take the great gift of forgetfulness and he says says Hashem is given to us why Hashem gave us the power to forget so that we can move ourselves forward in life and 5:14 what happens what do we do that and we use this same power of forgetfulness but we use it against God because gave me the gift of forgetting the ability to forget the ability sometimes to push things out of the primary 5:35 Consciousness and then what do I do I use it against and I forget the importance and sensuality of the ribonac in my life that was the message that moshabbin was trying to convey to Claude Israel don't use the gift of 5:52 forgetfulness against the God who gave you that very gift don't forget about the ribono shalom in your life front and center in your life in every part of your life and don't forget but I find it very striking to learn 6:10 this piece of the katskar on the day of the omkeeper or maybe by the time some of you see this two days after the Yom Kippur but within the days fdm Kipper because one of the things that's so incredibly powerful 6:22 is the ability to forget the past you see we spend yamim no rhyme focusing on the past so the hyper focus on the past what did I do what didn't I do how did I do it I have to do 6:32 chill if I have to fix this I have to stop doing this start doing this and there's a hyper focus on what I've done and what I haven't done and how I could set myself up for success but there does 6:42 come a certain point in the dawn of a new year where you have to let last year be last year now taste something amazing as I was davening chakras this morning so in the same there's a supplemental paragraph on Hashem 7:02 I've sinned before you all different types of sin and then there's a place to specify the sin that you've committed and then again it's a request it's a request for chuva a request of forgiveness and the truth is I always 7:15 say it because I always have a virus that I have to do chuva for and I started to say it today and I stopped myself I said one second I haven't done anything yet it's a brand new year I just 7:28 had Yom Keepers and I haven't I haven't done anything yet the shirt is still white the kettle's still white didn't show them still pure and I was struggling but but what but what about that are they wrote about how do 7:40 I how do I know what I did forgiveness not forgive stop stop sometimes you have to let the past be the past I did shiver for those others Yom Kippur came along Yom keeper wipe the Slate clean and now it's 7:55 time to move myself forward there's a beautiful idea but again asks he says Yom keeper we say forgive me Hashem for I have sinned and as the sasamas you've sinned what could you possibly have done me logistin the ended Yom 8:16 Kippur just ended it can't be that I've eaten without a broker because I didn't eat anything yet I'm even too tired to speak Russian what can I pass something I've done and Simon says so beautifully that sometimes all you have 8:27 to ask forgiveness for is not believing that we can really be forgiven forgive me for not really believing that I could be forgiven forgive me for not really believing that my past is the past and has said this cathartic moment 8:44 for me this morning such a dramatic moment where I said to myself you know what I don't have to say that paragraph today all right Chances Are by tomorrow I'm probably gonna have to say it but this morning I didn't 8:56 have to this morning I didn't have to this morning there wasn't the need to say today this morning at least the Slate was still clean things were still good my shama was as it should be my life was as it 9:15 should be everything was intact you have to sometimes find the power to forget and I think it's so important because whether we realize it or not consciously subconsciously we often pull the averos of the past with us into the present 9:30 and when you do that it takes the wind out of your cells and it prevents me sometimes from actualizing the beautiful future that lies ahead there's a brand new year with Untold possibilities this is a brand new year and I 9:43 bring all of my co-hosts into that year and says the katskar hakadish baraku gave us the power to forget use it constructively the past is the past forget the averas that were part of 5782 forget the mess-ups the mistakes the 10:03 missteps the failures leave it all behind gave us the power to forget use it appropriately and if we are zoha to truly forget that which was leave it behind us then we free up all of that emotional energy we free 10:21 up all of our Cocos to create a beautiful life to create a beautiful year ahead wishing everyone a good year and a beautiful Shabbos kodesh
