Podcasts about yetzer hora

At the inauguration ceremony of the Mishkan, Moshe Rabeinu tells Aron that although a mourner doesn't eat from the Kabonos, yet now during your mourning for your two sons, I want you to eat the Karbonos. Aron goes ahead, eats some and then burns some. He says that they are two different types of Karbonos, and therefore, even though he has to eat one, the other one has to get burnt. There are the “temporary Karbonos” like these to inaugurate the Mishkan , which were more stringent, and then there are the “generational Karbonos” meaning the regular Karbonos which would be brought throughout the generations.The lesson is that generational Karbonos represent the generational Yiddishkeit that we've been doing throughout the generations. Those the Yetzer Hora doesn't really fight against, and it becomes our second nature. However, in every generation, the leaders enact new Takanos (the call of the hour), and those the Yezer Hora fights. His argument is that we never did this before. We must derive that these are actually even more important. The generational Yiddishkeit, could be enjoyed. Alternately, regarding the temporary call of the hour, those must be burned, meaning we have to approach those with total self sacrifice.לקו״ש כז-ב

What is it? Does the Torah agree to it? Can we have groups in our yeshivos that we are forced to have or is it better to close down? Do ends justify the means? Joining up with Ovrei Aveira  Is it diffrent than sitting on the Knesset or the WZO? Should we have public forums talking about our Yetzer Hora?

KAD HAKEMACH YETZER HORA 1

Begin by accepting the yoke, and soon you'll realize it was just a test. The Rebbe suggests increasing in uttering words of Torah and Tefillah, memorizing Tanya and Mishnayos, and studying the Ma'amar Vehodarta, as well as reaching out to others. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/012/005/4137

It's unimaginable, the great pleasure above when you bring another Yid closer to Hashem. That's why there is so much opposition by the Yetzer Hora, who can also dress up in garments of fear of heaven. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/012/005/4098

Hopefully, your health is improving. One should abhor and detest the feelings and calculations that depress you. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/012/003/3963

'Bais Hamedrash - Bring the yetzer hora to the Bais Hamedrash!'

The Yetzer Hora tells us a person wouldn't lie to our face, But the reality is that our trust might be misplaced. To prevent what matters most from being destroyed, Lashon hara we must avoid!

Fill your thoughts with Mishnayos, Tanya, and Mamorim to occupy your mind. Many times the Yetzer Hora convinces you not to do good things because one is not doing them Lishma. Our sages tell us that from not doing things Lishma, one will eventually come to do them Lishma. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/012/001/3841

A gut voch everybody. I'll tell you a maaseh. The tzemach Tzedek, the third Lubavitcher Rebbe was a tzadik yesod olam, a genius of geniuses in Torah,  Nigleh and Nistar on of the gedolei hador on all levels. He was raised in the house of the Baal Hatanya. So the maaseh goes that after the Baal Hatanya passed away, every once in a while the Baal Hatanya would visit his grandson the Tzemach Tzedek in a dream at night. Some questions that the Tzemach Tzedek would have in learning the Baal Hatanya would give answers to. Sometimes they were clear and sometimes not so much.  There was a time when Tzemach Tzedek was learning a hard topic and he had many kashyas on it. He davened very much that his grandfather should visit him, no anwer. No one's answering him, the Baal Hatanya doesn't answer. It goes on for weeks like this and it's eating him up inside that for whatever reason the Baal Hatanya isn't coming anymore. He's staying with these questions: it is what it is.  It happens to be one particular morning the Tzemach Tzedek was walking to shul and it was the shuk. The fair in Lubavitch where businessmen would come and do business. The Tzemach Tzedek is traveling to shul and there was a yid who the Tzemach Tzedek knew. Clearly it seemed like he was preparing himself to get involved with the shuk that day. He comes to the Tzemach Tzedek with an innocent question. I'm sorry to bother. I know you're very busy, but is there any chance I can borrow 15 Rubles? It would be a huge help. There's something I'm trying to purchase today. The Tzemach Tzedek said yes sure I'd love to lend it to you, I just don't have it with me. I'm on my way to shul for shachris after davening I'll stop at my house and we can meet there and I'll give you the money. Okay fine, thank you very much and he goes on.  The Tzemach Tzedek goes to shul, puts his talis over his shoulder, he's checking his tzitzis and he has this nagging feeling that maybe he did something wrong. This yid who needs the money, he's trying to make a parnassah and working hard. Maybe by the time I finish davening and meet him, the deals will be missed. Maybe I should've taken care of it right away. He says you know what it's not too late I'll take care of it now.  He takes off his tefillin and runs home, gets the money but he doesn't know where this yid is. Because they were going to only meet later. But he says, this is the Yetzer Hora trying to prevent me from doing the right thing. And that's what he does, he takes the money and runs to the shuk. He looks for this yid, and finally after some time he finds him. The yid is so thankful and says, thank you so much you could've waited from later. But I very much appreciate having the money now, like the Rebbe thought of and was concerned about. Thank you.  The Tzemach Tzedek runs back to go daven, puts his talis on his shoulder, wraps himself with Tallis and tefillin. All of a sudden he has a vision with his grandfather. But this time it's not when he's asleep it's when he is wide awake and he sees clearly. The Baal Hatanya answers all the questions with complete clarity, and gives advice for questions that will arise in the future. It's mamash one of the greatest visions in his whole life.  The Tzemach Tzedek was bothered, why did I merit this extreme nevuah right now? A person can do many mitzvos to open certain gates in shamayim. But the biggest key to open the biggest gates, is doing a Toivah for another yid. Doing a toivah with mesirus nefesh and l'shem shamayim, it opens the biggest doors in shamayim. That key that's called ahavas yisroel, gemilus chassadim with mesirus nefesh. The Alter Rebbe says, I know how much davening with Kavannah and with a minyan means to you. For you to go out to help this yid and give him the money, was exxtreme mesirus nefesh and opens all the gates.  We should be zocheh to be gomlei chassadim like that, we have it in our blood from Avraham Avinu. To do...

That way you do not need to take responsibility and you can't do anything about it. It is easier to win the battle in the onset of the war. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/009/009/2652

How Adam Could Sin Without a Yetzer Hora

The lesson from the sin of the tree of knowledge – to be careful from the tests of the Yetzer Hora who makes the service of man difficult. Special lesson for women. https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/003/001 chaimwolosow@gmail.com

The Yetzer Hora constantly makes requests of a person and craves that he will agree to whatever he asks. However, the Yetzer Hora does not have the ability to fulfill this desire without the agreement of the intellect of the person, there needs to be a rationalization and consent before doing anything wrong. When the lazy person is told that his Rebbe is in his city to teach him, he responds there's a lion in the street and its too dangerous. This twisted thinking is a rationalization caused by his laziness. If the desire is there a person has the ability to believe whatever he wants. R' Yisroel Salanter suggests that in order to stand up to these rationalizations we must toil to strive for truth in all our interactions until we develop within ourselves an abhorrence for falseness. Mishlei 1:22; Rabbenu Yona ibid. עַד־מָתַ֣י ׀ פְּתָיִם֮ תְּֽאֵהֲב֫וּ־פֶ֥תִי וְלֵצִ֗ים לָ֭צוֹן חָמְד֣וּ לָהֶ֑ם וּ֝כְסִילִ֗ים יִשְׂנְאוּ־דָֽעַת׃ Mesillas Yesharim - 9th Perek אמרו לעצל, הרי רבך בעיר, לך ולמד תורה ממנו והוא משיב אותם, מתירא אני מן הארי שבדרך. רבך בתוך המדינה, אומר להם, מתיירא אני שלא יהיה ארי בין הרחובות. אומרים לו, הרי הוא בתוך ביתך אומר להם, אם אני הולך אצלו, אני מוצא הפתח נעולה וכו', עיין שם. הא למדת, שאין היראה גורמת שיתעצל אלא עצלה גורמת לו שיתיירא Ohr Yisroel 4 וּמַה תּוּכַל תֵּת כֹּחָהּ לְעֻמַּת הַנְּטִיָּה הַמְבַלְבֶּלֶת וְרוֹקֶדֶת בָּנוּ, וְכִשְׂחוֹק הוּא לְהָקִים כָּל מְזִימָתָהּ. לְזֹאת כָּל עֻמַּת שֶׁיַּעֲמֹל הָאָדָם לְהָשִׂים הָאֱמֶת לְנֶגֶד עֵינֵינוּ. וְהַתְּמִימוּת נֵר לְרַגְלֵינוּ, לְהַעֲמִיק בָּהּ לִבְלִי נִהְיֶה נְבוֹכִים לְחַפֵּשׂ תָּמִיד אַחַר מַעֲשֵׂינוּ וּפְרִי עֶשְׁתּוֹנוֹתֵינוּ, עַד אֲשֶׁר גָּלָה לְפָנֵינוּ מוֹרָשֵׁי לְבָבֵנוּ, עַד אֲשֶׁר נֵבוֹשׁ וְנִכָּלֵם לְהַחְלִיף שֶׁקֶר בֶּאֱמֶת Please send any feedback for any of the episodes to ekuritsky1@gmail.com

Yoma 69 : Marc Chipkin: 2021-06-19 Shimon HaTzadik's encounter with Alexander. Getting rid of the Yetzer Hora for avodah zarah. Why the Men of the Great Assembly got their name

The most important tool in fighting the battle with the Yetzer Hora is ישוב הדעת

We are told by the Creator of the Yetzer Hora that the ONLY successful method of dealing with its sickness is with the remedy of Torah. The most powerful way to utilize this method is by studying in depth the area in which we are struggling. Additionally we also receive a mystical hindering of the Yetzer Hora when we delve into the learning of that topic. Mesillas Yesharim - 5th Perek הא, למה זה דומה. לחולה שדרש ברופאים והכירו חליו ואמרו לו שיקח סם זה. והוא, מבלתי שתקדם לו ידיעה במלאכת הרפואה, יניח הסם ההוא ויקח מה שיעלה במחשבתו מן הסמים, הלא ימות החולה ההוא ודאי. כן הדבר הזה. כי אין מי שמכיר בחלי היצר הרע ובכחו המוטבע בו אלא בוראו שבראו, והוא הזהירנו שהרפואה לו היא התורה. מי איפוא יניחה ויקח מה שיקח זולתה ויחיה, ודאי שחושך החומריות ילך ויגבר עליו מדרגה אחר מדרגה והוא לא יבין עד שימצא שקוע ברעה ורחוק מן האמת הרחק גדול שאפילו הרהורי דברים לא יעלו על לבו לבקש האמת.
