Have you ever considered the true power of a promise to yourself? Imagine the sheer force of commitment that could turn your deepest aspirations into reality. Today's reflection uncovers the profound wisdom within a pledge by the Jewish people, which is seen as an act already accomplished. By exploring commentary from Rashi and the Mechilta, we unravel the significance of intention and its transformative impact on our journey toward personal and spiritual milestones.

Embark with us as we investigate how a sincere vow can be equivalent to actualizing our goals, inspired by Torah teachings where the mere commitment holds as much value as the deed itself. Whether it's mastering a complex discipline or refining personal virtues, we dissect the incredible effect of saying it, committing to it, and thus setting the wheels of achievement in motion. This episode isn't just about grand ideals; it contemplates concrete steps toward tangible change initiated by that profound, heartfelt dedication. Join our conversation to embrace this empowering mindset and learn how to manifest your dreams into existence.

00:00:01.923 --> 00:00:04.910
Today can be the day that you make an entire Siam Ashaas.

00:00:04.910 --> 00:00:16.748
Yeah, it isn't crazy talk or madness, but today can actually be the day that you can't celebrate having not spoken Lush and Harrah, for 365 days.

00:00:16.748 --> 00:00:21.806
It's true, you just have to do one small thing.

00:00:21.806 --> 00:00:33.725
See, the Pasek tells us in Perikyut Be'ez, pasek Havches, that the Jewish people went and did the Karbon Pasek, va'yelchuh Va'ya'asuh.

00:00:33.725 --> 00:00:38.112
They went and they did this Karbon Pasek.

00:00:38.112 --> 00:00:41.085
But Rashi's bothered by what do you mean?

00:00:41.085 --> 00:00:41.969
They went and they did?

00:00:41.969 --> 00:00:47.704
They're not supposed to be separating the animals and actually slaughtering them until a good 10 to 14 days later.

00:00:47.704 --> 00:00:50.070
And here we are still at the very beginning of the month.

00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:51.582
So what do you mean?

00:00:51.582 --> 00:00:52.707
They went and they did it?

00:00:52.707 --> 00:00:53.481
They didn't.

00:00:55.380 --> 00:01:01.332
And Rashi's citing a medrish in Mechilta, the El Mekivon she kiblu alehem.

00:01:01.332 --> 00:01:07.829
Since the Jewish people committed to it, they accepted upon themselves to go ahead and get this mitzvah done.

00:01:07.829 --> 00:01:11.266
Well then, ma'ala alehem, akhosov ki ilu wa sot.

00:01:11.266 --> 00:01:17.608
Therefore, the Torah views it as if the offering has already been offered.

00:01:17.608 --> 00:01:19.665
The mitzvah completed.

00:01:19.665 --> 00:01:29.882
Asuh, an iron clad, serious, dedicated commitment, ekabala.

00:01:29.882 --> 00:01:32.986
It's already finished.

00:01:32.986 --> 00:01:37.048
The objective is already accomplished in the eyes of the Torah.

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:38.201
Va'yelchuh Va'ya'asuh.

00:01:38.201 --> 00:01:42.688
You can make a seum on the entire Shas today.

00:01:42.688 --> 00:01:54.346
If you make it honest, genuine, dedicated commitment to, step by step, go ahead and learn it, you can celebrate not speaking Lush and Harah.

00:01:54.346 --> 00:02:18.932
If you're a va'yelchuh va'yasuh and with a real kabbalah, oruch Sh'omar Hashem is oymer ve'oisa, he says, and he does Just imagine If our commitments were in such a way that we just said it, we made up our minds and then we began to shape and manifest our great dreams and aspirations.

00:02:18.932 --> 00:02:24.509
So think about what is something rather large, a big dream of yours that you want to accomplish.

00:02:24.509 --> 00:02:32.959
Then think about how you're going to get it done and then commit it, make a real commitment.

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:36.586
It's in a real kabbalah, ma'ala'alov, haqqasuk Ilu wa.

00:02:36.586 --> 00:02:56.403
So it's already done, sh'omar Sh'omar.
