00:00:01.201 --> 00:00:05.211
The Chi-Chi-Wa-Wa has gone too far, or at least that's what I thought.

00:00:05.211 --> 00:00:13.413
Everywhere you go in the grocery store you hear Mindy Worsh's and Thank you Hashem's hit single, chi-chi-wa-wa.

00:00:13.413 --> 00:00:16.487
You've probably heard the song many times.

00:00:16.487 --> 00:00:29.484
I never heard the song until I went home for Shabbos and heard my parents grandparents singing Chi-Chi-Wa-Wa, my two-year-old coming home from her mora singing Chi-Chi-Wa-Wa.

00:00:29.484 --> 00:00:33.393
I thought the world has gone rogue, the world has gone mad.

00:00:34.481 --> 00:00:36.585
For what are people saying?

00:00:36.585 --> 00:00:43.142
It's my pet peeve when people sing things back movements and don't know what they mean.

00:00:43.142 --> 00:00:47.171
We're all about making sense of our lives and making sense of life.

00:00:47.171 --> 00:00:49.987
So why is everyone first saying a pussuk?

00:00:49.987 --> 00:01:00.593
The song goes A gemara Shlep the yitzahara when he's messing with you into the base, medrash, go, sit and learn.

00:01:00.593 --> 00:01:11.311
But then all of a sudden the song breaks out into a chorus about the Mexican tiny toy dog, the Chihuahua.

00:01:11.311 --> 00:01:12.864
So I didn't get it.

00:01:12.864 --> 00:01:25.944
So I did some research and I'm all in on Chi-Chi-Wah-Wah because what I discovered is the great Rabiossi-Zachatinsky the Rav, the Mashpia, the Tzadik the Chassid, explained this.

00:01:25.828 --> 00:01:30.686
Zelensky the Rav, the Mashpia, the Tzadik the Chassid explain this beautiful idea how we can fight the Yetzirah and we must fight the Yetzirah.

00:01:30.686 --> 00:01:32.987
But you can do it in two ways.

00:01:32.987 --> 00:01:40.427
You can either confront him like a ferocious pit bull and try to go toe-to-toe with him, or you can elevate yourself.

00:01:40.427 --> 00:01:47.912
Don't get better, but get higher and create a new mindset in which the struggles.

00:01:47.912 --> 00:01:53.969
The Yetzirah is just like the pesky chihuahua tugging at your pants leg.

00:01:53.969 --> 00:01:55.933
Take that approach.

00:01:55.933 --> 00:01:59.707
The Rav cajoled, coaxed his congregation.

00:01:59.707 --> 00:02:01.131
Take the approach of that.

00:02:01.171 --> 00:02:03.325
If you meet the Yetzirah, elevate yourself and let the little nagging all that.

00:02:03.325 --> 00:02:03.527
I need to.

00:02:03.527 --> 00:02:04.150
I need you meet the Yetzirah.

00:02:04.150 --> 00:02:06.543
Elevate yourself and let the little nagging all that.

00:02:06.543 --> 00:02:10.168
I need to fight my Yetzirah and I need to spend my days all involved in it.

00:02:10.168 --> 00:02:19.349
No, you'll get stymied and mired trying to make progress against this ferocious and notorious foe of the Yetzirah.

00:02:19.349 --> 00:02:21.006
Just elevate yourself.

00:02:21.006 --> 00:02:23.288
Submerge yourself in the basematrish.

00:02:23.288 --> 00:02:25.752
Involve yourself in Torah and mitzvahs.

00:02:25.752 --> 00:02:27.694
Elevate yourself in your life and your family.

00:02:27.694 --> 00:02:38.602
Become higher, and then the little chihuahua on the side can just ignore him, because it falls away and kind of dissipates over time.

00:02:38.602 --> 00:02:41.707
So let the chichiwawa carry on.

00:02:41.707 --> 00:02:44.300
Kudos to the great ones that make the zong.

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:45.366
Kudos to the great ones that make the song.

00:02:45.366 --> 00:02:46.914
Kudos to the great Ruv for the beautiful Tyra.

00:02:46.914 --> 00:02:54.429
And let us all take this Chichiwawa approach to life and let the song continue to play on everywhere that we go.
