Someone who is careful with his eyes is "zoche viro-eh pnai hashchinah".
I heard from the mashgiach Reb don segal slitta.
That this is for every single time one looks away!!!
Gevaldigggggg
Another thing reb don shlitta said was to serve Hashen EVEN if we feel NOTHING
Wow the schar is so much more when we feel nothing
Its amazing
How the big tzaddikim are thinking of us!!
Yeedin let's chapp arayn. These are the heiligger teg
Our tatte in himmel is waiting for us
For our tfilla our avodahh
As my zaideh the heiligger Kedushas Levy says. (Its a zchus to say his name in the heligger tegg)
That Hashem has the greatest nachas from the ovrei avaireh who return to him!!
Tatte its us please let us in

Oh! Keep on trucking!!
This is gorgeous! Thanks Reb b!
A caveat: To me - just for me - the s'char business is just a distraction from being happy to just be a yid with my Best Friend right here, right now. I love saying a few times in the earliest morning with my eyelids still upside down, "I'm for You...help me be for You...help me
want to be for You today." It's a pleasure like no other just to really
mean that. And as far as the s'char is concerned, Ilu hotzianu me-addiction v'lo nosan lanu v'lo anything else - Dayenu!
Dodi is for me,
even when I am not for Him! It's
gotta be that way, otherwise how could anybody ever get sober in the first place? It's amazing, no?
And about this:
who can serve Hashem?
HUMANS
A he'orah. Why does Hashem pick the wacky sounding idea of using measurements for all the keilim of the mikdosh like "an ammah" or "a tefach"? Couldn't He have made a crystal of some sort or rock that is standard? And how can there even
be a shiur of an ammah if every man's arm
is a little different? (It must have driven yekki's crazy back then building the mishkan...)
Torah is for
people. We are made for it. Hashem's Will is expressed this way for
people. We are the measuring device of the Torah cuz we are
made of and for the Torah.
And I love this one, reb b:[quote]I don’t know what yidishkiet is, but I now know that it is not about feeling good.
yiddishkite is about serving Hashem[quote]
How many times have I heard from my sponsor or from other guys in the rooms, "Dov. What are you asking for? What do you want? To be forgiven so you'll feel better? So I can tell you 'it's not so bad'...It won't work. We act out to feel better. We recover to get better - to really live. Just do the work for free."
Whining is about "poor me..." and only about me, and has nothing to do with serving Hashem, and nothing to do with real living.
I miss bandying and schmandying with bards!
