0:01 i want to take this opportunity to share with you a short idea on air of yom kippur the gemara tells us that there's a mitzvah to eat today on the ninth of tishrei an era of yom kippur and that mitzvah 0:12 is so great that in fact the gemara says that if a person eats an era of yum kipper ma allah and the alaikum who counts it as if we fasted for the ninth of tishrei and the tenth of tishrei arab 0:22 yom kippur and yom kippur itself some of the tanoim took this mitzvah to eat an irvine kepper seriously so seriously that they would keep like a sucking candy in their mouth the whole day so that they should be actively engaged 0:34 in eating the entire day and asks the schlock others a simple question why is there such a mitzvah to eat an arabian caper i got it there's a utilitarian need to eat today because we're going to fast tonight tomorrow we 0:46 want to be prepared want to be physically prepared but why such a great mitzvah to eat an air of yom kippur why such a statement that if you eat today it's as if you've fasted today and tomorrow what's the shot 1:00 and the shlock kaddish says something absolutely beautiful the shlok explains that there is no greater day of simha no greater they have joined the entire jewish count of the young kipper the mishnah secretary says why because it's the day of 1:15 sleep it's a day of forgiveness and atonement and there is no greater joy in life than knowing that you've been forgiven there's no greater joy in life than knowing that the slate has been wiped clean the tabla rasa i even 1:28 knew i have a new new year ahead of me a new life ahead of me it's a new me it's a new me the past was the past and now ultimately i could focus my energies on building a beautiful present 1:40 and a magnificent future there is no greater simcha no greater joy in life than yom kippur but says the show the problem is it's a fast day it's a fast day and the truth is when we think about past days 1:54 our most natural association is with sadness with calamity with tragedy of tissue we have a lot of fast days we have a lot of fast days right and fast days almost always marks something calamitous something difficult something tragic so we come 2:14 to yum kipper and very often our almost natural association is oh yum keeper it's a fast day and but it's a fast day it must be something very severe must be something you know very significant it is significant but says 2:27 the slaw so how do you how do you manage this i have a day that is filled with so much simcha so much joy there is no other day on the jewish calendar that is a sim card that is as 2:40 joyful as yom kippur slich of but it's a fast day and fast again are associated with sadness negativity says the short that's why we go out of our way to feast today on arab yom kippur we make today all about 2:56 consumption all not all about but a lot about consumption a lot about eating and having beautiful sudos and celebrating you know the sudah hamasakis the final meal before yom kippur is not the sudamof sakes of tish above right this is 3:11 the maf seconds of tisha bob is a mournful meal not supposed to eat two cooked foods not supposed to make him a zoom in today we sit down to suit the map sakes it's like shabbos it's like yum tim it's 3:21 beautiful it says we should sing and we should say devray torah and for zoho to have children we should bless our children and bless each other and it's beautiful and it's simple says we do all of this to get ourselves 3:36 in the right mindset for yom kippur we pile on this today we pile on the simbha today so that we could go into yom kippur with the right mindset a mindset of simra a mindset of joy a mindset of optimism 3:55 a mindset of hope a mindset of belief that i will be forgiven that my slate will be wiped clean that i will be given another year another chance because the ribano shalom believes in me spare who believes in me then 4:14 i must find the kawak the hope and the optimism to believe in myself as well that says the shlo is why there's such an emphasis on feasting on arab yom kippur just to put us in the right mindset to create 4:30 the proper simcha for tonight for yom kippur for tomorrow for yom kippur so we should be zoham here to enter into this day is there an element of davira of course a fear of awe there is there is there most 4:46 definitely is because at the end of the day at the end of the day we're being judged and so much is being decided during these days and judgment is always anxiety provoking but not when you're being judged by your father 5:03 not when you're being judged by ekko deshparuhu because he wants my success more than i want my success he wants to give me life more than i even appreciate and want life that's who's judging us that's who's inscribing us and 5:20 that who is is sealing us so is there an element of anxiety of course and it's undeniable but the anxiety must be coupled and i would say must even be a little bit eclipsed by the incredible simcha of the day 5:36 so eat well enjoy your era of yom kippur make your hakhonas make your preparations and go into the day with an incredible amount of simcha may we be to be sealed with our meshbajos with our communities and with all of 5:54 amisha with all of humanity for a year of a year of bracha a year of osha and halawa a year of mashiach a year of gu'ula a a
