David BassousHOST
He drank a little bit and he withdrew.
David BassousHOST
So that's the Baal Teshuvah.
David BassousHOST
Baal Teshuvah drank a little bit and he changed himself.
David BassousHOST
It gets much more reward than the person who never tasted the wine in the first place.
David BassousHOST
So the person who never tasted the wine doesn't know what he's missing.
David BassousHOST
The Baal Teshuvah tasted the wine, he knows what he's missing.
David BassousHOST
That's one explanation.
David BassousHOST
Second explanation is, a Baal Teshuvah is greater.
Harry AmdurerHOST
And that was obviously before something happened in Babylon that we have to explain.
Harry AmdurerHOST
We tried to explain, we've explained it a little bit, but a powerful Baal Teshuvah movement began Before the return from exile.
Harry AmdurerHOST
Exactly what triggered it.
Harry AmdurerHOST
We'll discuss later in the book.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
But in reality, the value of the women is beyond anything you can imagine.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
You know, I have, uh, one of my Baalei Tshuva, he was a basketball player in the NBA.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
He was a good player, made it to the NBA.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Israeli.

Yosef MizrachiHOST
Any amount you can.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Who should you give tzedakah? To two causes only.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
People that learn Torah and people that make Baalei Tshuvah.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
That's the two highest, best investments.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Now, obviously, most of us grew up in modern America, in an era where our parents really, you know, did more than the best that they could, some better, some worse.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Even the Baalei Tshuva that are in the room, the parents did whatever they knew,

you know,
Shlomo KatzHOST
whatever they knew.
Manis FriedmanHOST
But because this love is concealed and hidden, as if an exile within the body, that's why the person remains a Rosh Ha.
Manis FriedmanHOST
The regret doesn't make him into a Baal Tshuva, He regrets but then repeats his sin because this love that he has that causes the regret is in exile within the body and concealed and hidden by it and therefore the kripa, the unholiness, is able to overcome it.
Manis FriedmanHOST
So although he loves God, he does the opposite.
Manis FriedmanHOST
And this is the folly, the temporary insanity that makes a person sin.
Yehoshua B. GordonHOST
But because this love is concealed and hidden, as if an exile within the body, that's why the person remains a Rosh Ha.
Yehoshua B. GordonHOST

Yehoshua B. GordonHOST
So although he loves God, he does the opposite.
Yehoshua B. GordonHOST
And this is the folly, the temporary insanity that makes a person sin.
Dov MilsteinHOST
even the ones before Moses.
Dov MilsteinHOST
So the Baal Tokeiah should technically be somebody that is a tzaddik, a hogah, and a Baal Tshuva, someone who knows the kavanos, this tremendous mystical intent that you're supposed to have while blowing the shofar.
Dov MilsteinHOST
But, bottom line, halacha is, if we don't have that, any good er l'cheir, whose heart is broken and straitened, and honest.
Dov MilsteinHOST
That is a person, and he knows that halakha is, he has to blow the shefer properly, and to be mitzvah to Tiber, that is what is used.
Shay SchachterHOST
And it's a miracle.
Shay SchachterHOST
The spiritual revolution that came back of the Baal Tshuva movement of so many of those who got out of Russia and came back to the roots where they originally were, it's miraculous.
Shay SchachterHOST
But in 70 years, look what a devastation can happen.
Shay SchachterHOST
That is the same thing that happened in the days of Ezra HaSofar.

Yosef MizrachiHOST
I have a student, he's one of my first Baalei Tshuva.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
He has a karate school here in Brooklyn.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Karate school.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Said, "Try not to move things here." That's how they work on your brain.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Everything has to be in place.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
So he's one of my first Baalei Tshuva.
Yosef MizrachiHOST
Very serious.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
Someone's ready to turn over their whole world.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
You know, the Talmud says, Where someone who is a Baal Teshuva, someone who comes back to Hashem, where they stand, even the most righteous and most pious cannot stand in their place.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
To change in such a way is the most enviable thing.
Aryeh WolbeHOST
A kid who grew up in a religious home doesn't know what that means.
