Pashut meod.
Shlomo KatzHOST
So these days are very sensitive days, and I wanted to see something that's a yasod by both Reb Tzaddok and the Slonimer, but to see how, how the Kohen takes it to another place, and it's a piece.
Shlomo KatzHOST
The Kohen's piece, Rav, Rav Kook's piece that we're gonna see today, it really makes us feel, um, aligned with, with, with this man, this man right now, these days right now, which are like, uh, you know, obviously, the word is these are days that are not really from the cheshbon havonos.
Shlomo KatzHOST
These are days that are, they're free of something, but they're there to, for the, for the, for kind of like the soul and the body to re-meet in a certain way, and that it shouldn't be too intense.
9 MINS LATER
Shlomo KatzHOST
That's still here this Shabbos, but what's also here is Man Simchasenu, right? You know, whenever you say Simchasenu, a Hasid walks into the room.
Shlomo KatzHOST
You ever notice that? [laughing] [speaking foreign language] So this is the ho-- He-- Listen to these words.
Shlomo KatzHOST
The Slonimer says, "This is the holiest Shabbos of the year," he just said.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Now listen, he's not...
Shlomo KatzHOST
And then in my Shabbos table, in the Yom Tov table, like the last thing, because of our, it's not an Indian now of saying how small we are, it's just the mitzias of the world that we're in.
Shlomo KatzHOST
So even though this Torah from the Slonimer is emes la'amito, the only access I have to it is by letting go of any expectation that this is actually how I'm going to passively feel going into this Shabbos.
Shlomo KatzHOST
But the Koran says, the light of all lights, Rav Kook, he helps us out with this.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Now, there are two pieces in the Oros that Rav Kook says, I actually want to start for a second.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Davening is a different place, learning is a different place, the way I eat at the table is a different place, the way I just stop for a second.
Shlomo KatzHOST
I meditate a little bit, do a little bit, to think a little bit bigger about, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Shlomo KatzHOST
I don't really understand what that means that Yom Kippur and Sukkot are here right now, but I'll take the Slonimers' word for it that something awesome is happening right now, and allow myself to become a Shabbos Deku Yed, a real, real Shabbos Deku Yed.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Now, here's the trick, okay? Since this is true, meaning since this is Emes, obviously, so what's going to happen? Every single Yetzir right now is going to come in your way to make sure you do not experience this holiness.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Everything.
