If you don't feel happy, if you don't feel successful and accomplished in life, it kind of feels like you're stuck and unproductive.
00:00:13.571 --> 00:00:37.871
And it doesn't normally occur to us that there is any sort of easy way to fix your feeling of feeling unaccomplished and unsuccessful, except the Chazan Ish tells us that there is indeed a very tried and true and easy way to feel successful and accomplished in life.
00:00:37.871 --> 00:00:44.612
And no, no, no, it is not some break your head on the Gemara or start a Chesed organization.
00:00:44.612 --> 00:00:47.706
Do something for the cloud that makes you feel accomplished.
00:00:47.706 --> 00:00:50.476
Well, yes, that does make you feel successful.
00:00:50.476 --> 00:00:56.171
It does not come so easily and will take hours, if not days, if not weeks, to get that accomplished properly.
00:00:56.171 --> 00:00:58.703
So we're looking for a much faster fix.
00:00:58.703 --> 00:01:07.677
But have no fear, the chazanish is here and he tells us how you can quickly feel happy and successful in life.
00:01:07.677 --> 00:01:09.843
Zokt the Chazanish.
00:01:09.843 --> 00:01:16.990
The Chazanish says Avroham Yishayot Karelitz, join a Chabura.
00:01:16.990 --> 00:01:18.313
That's the answer.
00:01:18.313 --> 00:01:26.373
Join a sebilage, a workshop, an assembly of people coming together to do something, a successful group.
00:01:26.373 --> 00:01:36.784
And if you join the group, you too get a ring, even if you're the backup long snapper for the football team, if they win the Super Bowl Because you're on the team.
00:01:36.784 --> 00:01:44.500
Yeah, when you join a habura on the winning team, you jump on the bandwagon.
00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:50.150
You get to ride that bandwagon to a siam daf yemi all the way down to disneyland.
00:01:50.150 --> 00:01:57.878
The best and quickest way to become successful is to join a group of successful people.
00:01:57.878 --> 00:02:05.274
Now you could just join and show up and be a part of it, very loosely, kind of from the outside looking in.
00:02:05.274 --> 00:02:16.949
But what you'll find is, even if you do that, you'll kind of take from the successful people and want to learn more, be more, don't want to stick out like a sore thumb.
00:02:16.949 --> 00:02:18.540
You'll want to join the Dafyomi.
00:02:18.540 --> 00:02:23.993
You'll want to join and become closer into this nucleus of Torah, join a Chabura.
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:29.145
And I found this incredible piece right at the beginning of the third section of Mishnaburah.
00:02:29.145 --> 00:02:33.449
This is Gimel, the laws of Shabbos, I apologize.
00:02:33.449 --> 00:03:00.007
The holy Chafetz Chaim Rabbi, israel Mayor Kagan HaCohen says I pray to God, I hope to God and I bet Shemishi Yil and I bet Anyone who now learns this say for Halacha You'll know not just the laws of Shabbos but you'll know the background, you'll know why things happen.
00:03:00.007 --> 00:03:05.788
You'll know the sugyas Incredible work, mission Brewer in case you haven't studied it, the ro'u v'nachon, and it is fitting, it is proper and you'll know the suyyahs.
00:03:05.808 --> 00:03:18.312
An incredible work, the Mishnah Brewer, in case you haven't studied it, the ra'uy v'nachon, and it is fitting, it is proper, it is acceptable, it is satisfactory and it is encouraged To anyone who fears the harid lidvar Hashem, anyone who is fearful for the word of God.
00:03:18.312 --> 00:03:32.850
Make a gathering to study the laws of Shabbos so you do not stumble in them.
00:03:32.850 --> 00:03:44.300
Like it says in Vayakel, make workshops, conventions, congregations.
00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:49.308
Join a chabura of Torah doers, join a habura of successful people.
00:03:49.308 --> 00:04:04.423
Join an expo or workshop something that makes you a part of something that's successful and triumphant, and that will be the fastest way to shoot you to the top and start feeling happy and successful and maybe even feel like an overnight sensation.
00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:13.571
00:00:13.571 --> 00:00:37.871
00:00:37.871 --> 00:00:44.612
00:00:44.612 --> 00:00:47.706
