275. Shoftim: Every Yid Is Good & Has Good

Hello, everybody, and welcome to this week's sicha.

Today is Friday, August 14th, 2026.

It is Rosh Chodesh Elul, 5786, and we are in Parashat Shaytim.

Um, I shared in the WhatsApp groups earlier a forbringen that was from this past year's Chof Beshvat, but just I think it was a really powerful, um, t- it's a for- it's forbringen style.

So powerful ideas and thoughts to share as we enter into Elul, especially as women.

Gives us some things to focus on.

So if you haven't seen that yet, you can go find it, or you can always message me.

Uh, my number is 619-757-0486 if you need anything or if you'd like to join our WhatsApp group so that you know when we're learning live.

Um, all right.

We were-- We're gonna go into our sicha sponsors of the week.

Thank you so much for everybody who chooses to join us, partner with us in getting these sichas out into the world, and really encouraging us to learn them together.

Um, that's really special.

So we're gonna thank, first of all, Esti Paltiel, who is sponsoring in honor of her birthday, which was this past week on Chof Ches Av.

Esti, happy, happy birthday.

Shana tova tikatevi v'taichati, and just really, like, all the brachos, and hopefully see the revealed brachos of learning chassidus in your life.

We-- Our next sponsor is Miriam Sher, who's sponsoring in honor of her father's sixth yahrzeit, which is coming up on the sixth of Elul, Yosef Hirsch ben Menachem Mendel HaLevi, and refuah shleima for Yosef Yitzchak HaLevi ben Chava, and Gershon Mordechai ben Gittel.

We should hear only good news, and your father's neshama should have an aliyah, and really endless nachas from you and your family.

Um, our next sponsor is Chana Nissenson, who's sponsoring in honor of her mother's yahrzeit, which was this past week on Chof Ches Menachem Av, Rivka bas Masha.

Um, Chana, you should really just continue to give your mother a lot of nachas ad high, and really we should be reunited with Mashiach, um, like, ASAP.

And thank you so much for choosing these sichas.

And our final sponsor for this week is Mendy and Chani Wench, who are sponsoring in honor of their niece and nephew's upcoming wedding this week, Shua and Racheli.

Um, wishing them a big, just all the brachos, and they should build a binyan Adei Ad, as well as in honor of Chani's father-in-law's shloshim, which are coming up this week, um, Daniel or Daniel ben Chaim Hirsch, his neshama should have an aliyah, and in honor of her husband Mendy's upcoming fiftieth birthday, which is a big one.

It should be a shana taf tachah.

Um, Chani, thank you so much for you and your husband choosing to join us in these sichas.

You should have only good news, lots of brachos, and just revealed good things.

And with that, we'll give some tzedakah.

G'dela tzedakah t'mikra v'et ha'geulah.

And I don't know.

We're going to Elul, Mrs. Shapiro, so this is like, I don't know, Rosh Chodesh Elul feels like a powerful time.

Give some tzedakah, get some learning in.

Thank you so much for making this happen.

Um, Erev Shabbos, and please take it away.
