Yom Kippur – The Day of Atonement – Selected Excerpts from the sources. #5

Reading Excerpt #5 (00:15) RABASH, Article No. 36 (1986), “What Is Preparation for Selichot.…” (Twice)

1. S. (01:42) Why is it called forgiveness when he asked for strength to go and work about reason?

R. I guess before that he did something that didn't cause the correction, that is why he's asking for forgiveness and now he's going to correct it.

2. S. (02:05) A similar question, how does forgiveness help in receiving the power to overcome?

R. That he is aware he made a mistake let's say, he admits it, and then he corrects that mistake.

S. In other words, the mistake that happened to a person caused the mistake that he couldn't overcome?

R. Yes.

S. If there is ‘Nothing Else Besides Him’ then what mistake is there?

R. There's always that question of ‘None Else Besides Him’ but if ‘None Else Besides Him’ then the Creator sends all kinds of things to a person. A person makes mistakes upon them and then he deserves the punishment, and the punishment is actually the correction.

S. I need to take responsibility for myself that I made the mistake, I blemished?

R. Yes, that is why it's called forgiveness.

3. S. (3:10) It is written he asked the Creator to give him the strength to overcome. What kind of force is it?

R. The force to overcome his own will to receive.

S. To be able to do what?

R. Be able to overcome and do opposite forces from the will to receive.

Excerpt #6 (03:33) RABASH, Article No. 36 (1986), “What Is Preparation for Selichot”, “ If he is willing to do things only for the sake of the Creator….” (Twice)

4. S. (06:40) Let's say a person is in the morning lesson and he decides to do things only for the Creator, not for himself. He goes out to the day and he discovers that he can do only small things so he won't blemish self-love, so how does joy help him connect and come to a state where he's willing to work only for the sake of the Creator?

R. You’re are asking me? What am I, a judge?

S. He explains the process here, he says that if he discovers that he should not, God forbid, blemish self-love. Then he understands this is the source of all his sins only for this reason and it gives them the preparation and qualification when he comes to ask the Creator to forgive his sins. How does pardon happen? First of all, what is the preparation here? What's the preparation for pardon, and forgiveness?

R. He checks what he did before then scrutinizes what was okay and what was not okay. He organizes his relation to the Creator to what the Creator did to him and what he did as a response and then he organizes his forgiveness.

S. What is the pardon here in this process?

R. It is that he sees compared to what he did, and compares it to what he should have done.

S. What is the difference between forgiveness and pardon or request or prayer?

R. It is one of the actions that a person scrutinizes himself, critiques himself, and turns to the Creator to forgive him. We know that from our life and by this he overcomes above the actions he did.

S. Forgiven for what?

R. On what he thinks he wasn't okay.

S. Let's say the person thinks he's not okay because he's not turning to the Creator. He plans to turn to the Creator but he sees that he's not turning into the Creator, the following day so he makes conclusions the following day he decides to turn to the Creator, and at the end of the day he still doesn't turn to the Creator, and so on for a while. How can forgiveness help him correct the situation?

R. But there's no forgiveness because he didn't turn to the Creator.

S. What does he do?

R. If he will turn to the Creator and ask for forgiveness for not taking the Creator into any account. He is not, he's not taking him into account. That is already the beginning of repentance. He is already turning to the Creator. What is repentance? it comes from the word in Hebrew to return meaning he starts returning turning to the same upper source and by that gradually the closeness to the Creator is being revealed.

S. This will bring him?

R. It will bring him to contact that he starts asking.

Excerpt #7 (10:45) RABASH, Article No. 890, “The Sorrow of the Shechina – 2” (Twice)

5. S. (13:00) What is Selichot, forgiveness?

R. There is an action that a person can activate and by that repent for his sins.

S. What is the sin?

R. That he made a mistake, something not good towards the Creator and he is asking for forgiveness and he is forgiven.

S. But He created it, He created that state?

R. Correct, but who performed the sin? Man.

S. Is the result of the creation of what He created?

R. Yes, so.

S. So if I connect the first article which is read in the first part to what is happening now in this question I understand that there is no point in asking for forgiveness. We should ask to correct what he broke what he created?

R. But you are asking for forgiveness by this you put yourself before the Creator and you admit that you are the created being, that everything that happens is done by the Creator, but still along with that, you understand your place.

S. What's the point in asking for forgiveness if I know I have no chance, to forgive me for what? Making committing a sin again so the minute he lets go of the rope a little bit, I will run to the same place.

R. No you gradually learn and by this, you come closer to the Creator.

S. I only feel like I'm moving on to the next pain and not getting closer to the Creator. I'm moving to the next failure?

R. No, from these failures you learn.

S. There is a correction in the failure?

R. There is a correction.

6. S. (15:23) I thought this excerpt was cut off from the part called Shechina, I feel like there is a result from it.

R. Not only if you do something bad, but you do something bad and you understand and feel that you did something bad, There are two things; 1) is doing it, and 2) is admitting it.

S. Right, so let's say I jump from the roof, my bones will break and it will hurt me. Here it is like I have to ask forgiveness, and atonement for not asking the Creator. For not being with him on my desires to be for the sake of the Creator, but it doesn't hurt me. What is this called the sorrow of the Shechina in which I feel pain?

R. When you feel pain and what a person invites in the Creator.

S. How does the ten become the vessel in which I see results or I'm not supposed to look for the results there?

R. Yes of course yes, you were a child once you also obviously caused your parents all kinds of problems and trouble and now you're asking for forgiveness about that. Back then you couldn't.

S. There is a place where the whole world asks for itself to forgive me and help me with all kinds of things like that. Is it something a little higher than that? When we move to the vessel of connection, the ten, and on this we should feel sorrow?

R. If we all ask together, all of us, so it is forgiven.

7. S. (17:46) Can we watch over the friends so they don't fall into the world to receive?

R. Yes.

S. How?

R. All yourselves, all together, pray each one for everyone else, and that way you won't fall.

S. Ask for what, for them?

R. Ask to understand what the Creator wants from you and how you can be close to him. We will talk about it.
