The Foundation of Spiritual Growth and Connection with the Almighty's Holy Torah
Why is Midos Tovos, or good character traits, such a crucial topic discussed in our lives and in our connection with the Almighty's Holy Torah, yet it's not considered one of the 613 mitzvahs? Join us in this enlightening episode as we explore this thought-provoking question while seeking insights from the great teachings of the holy Rabbi's.
Drawing from the wisdom of Reb-Chaim Vital, we'll reveal the significance of Middos Tovos as the foundation of our spiritual journey and its role in preparing us for the life of the Torah. Listen in as we discuss ways to cultivate good character traits, heed the guidance of great rabbis, and ultimately lead a truly meaningful and fulfilling life.

00:00:01.822 --> 00:00:07.913
From one's first day in the classroom in Kita-Aleph in kindergarten until he graduates 12th grade.
00:00:07.913 --> 00:00:15.007
It seems like it's all any teacher talks about When a person goes to high school, as Rabbeim and his teachers.
00:00:15.007 --> 00:00:22.807
They talk the same talk, promoting the same idea The rough sermon on Shabbat and the G'day-le-oy-lam.
00:00:22.807 --> 00:00:30.652
They all talk about it Incessantly because clearly it is supremely important in our Avaidas Hashem.
00:00:30.652 --> 00:00:35.631
The topic, the idea, the category is Midos Tovos.
00:00:35.631 --> 00:00:39.686
Why she makes sure to share your toys, yaankala.
00:00:39.686 --> 00:00:43.448
Did you give Tzedaka today And as you grow up, did you pay your shoulders?
00:00:43.448 --> 00:00:46.000
Did you donate generously to the poor?
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.979
Did you do things with alacrity, getting rid of laziness?
00:00:48.979 --> 00:00:53.680
The roughs, drusha, the G'day-le-oy-lam they all are trying to help us perfect Our Midos know.
00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:02.878
I ask you, in the name of the Holy Rabbi Habitat, as he writes in his Share Kedusha, why It's not even a mitzvah.
00:01:02.878 --> 00:01:07.000
Did you know that There is no mentioning of a commandment?
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.930
It's not one of the 613 character rectification.
00:01:10.930 --> 00:01:12.725
There's no mitzvah of Midos Tovos.
00:01:12.725 --> 00:01:14.948
Why not Give us a mitzvah?
00:01:14.948 --> 00:01:16.000
after all, it's what everyone talks about.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.284
Or why is everyone talking about, if it's not a mitzvah, zakt Rab-Khaim Vita.
00:01:22.225 --> 00:01:28.489
Because Midos Tovos is assumed, because a person has no connection to the Almighty's Holy Tyra.
00:01:28.489 --> 00:01:30.632
If he has character flaws.
00:01:30.632 --> 00:01:35.481
Poor Midos is the Hakkana Character.
00:01:35.481 --> 00:01:37.308
Rectification is the preparation.
00:01:37.308 --> 00:01:47.888
Building ourselves up, eradicating lazy tendencies, becoming altruistic and giving Midos Tovos that is the preparation for Tyra.
00:01:47.927 --> 00:02:01.754
The Almighty doesn't need to command you, because how could a person ever be asked to give Siddhaka if he's not a giving person, to wake up and say Kriyashima every day, if he's not someone who lives with a Lakhritan?
00:02:01.754 --> 00:02:09.030
You don't ask the pilot when you get on an airplane Do you have a degree in flight And did you go to flight school?
00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:11.000
and you don't ask the doctor you have your medical degree?
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.000
You don't check at all the preparation things.
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.990
It's assumed that they have these qualities.
00:02:15.990 --> 00:02:37.751
So every single time that you beat another bad Mida and you build yourself up, you are becoming that much more Muchan for the Torah to then enter your body and then work its magical powers Elevate, prepare yourself for a life of Tyra and listen to all of those great rabbis.
00:02:37.751 --> 00:02:43.531
Give these droshos so that we can be Muchan for a beautiful life of Tyra.
00:00:01.822 --> 00:00:07.913
00:00:07.913 --> 00:00:15.007
00:00:15.007 --> 00:00:22.807
00:00:22.807 --> 00:00:30.652
00:00:30.652 --> 00:00:35.631
00:00:35.631 --> 00:00:39.686
00:00:39.686 --> 00:00:43.448
00:00:43.448 --> 00:00:46.000
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.979
00:00:48.979 --> 00:00:53.680
00:00:53.680 --> 00:01:02.878
00:01:02.878 --> 00:01:07.000
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.930
00:01:10.930 --> 00:01:12.725
00:01:12.725 --> 00:01:14.948
00:01:14.948 --> 00:01:16.000
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.284
00:01:22.225 --> 00:01:28.489
00:01:28.489 --> 00:01:30.632
00:01:30.632 --> 00:01:35.481
00:01:35.481 --> 00:01:37.308
00:01:37.308 --> 00:01:47.888
00:01:47.927 --> 00:02:01.754
00:02:01.754 --> 00:02:09.030
00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:11.000
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.000
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.990
00:02:15.990 --> 00:02:37.751
