The month of Tevet - How anger can be a positive thing... - Rabbi Alon Anava

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Alon Anava’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

We are in the month of Tibet and as our usual custom every month we do a class talking about the the month itself and what is this the spiritual and self-growth work that one wants to do on themselves during this month. As we spoke so many times every month has a certain energy and every month has a certain sense that we we have to work on and to rectify it. After all, the point why we're in this world is to do a tikkun, to do a rectification. We didn't come here for any other reason but to do a tikkun nefesh, to do a rectification for the nefesh. So, before we start we want to dedicate quickly the class to Shira and Bat Liora Sara who is in critical condition and also her baby the baby that you know Ben Ben Ben Ben Liora Sara. Should both have a miraculous recovery and B'ezrat Hashem going out of the holiday of Hanukkah so we should continue seeing miracles and B'ezrat Hashem should the Mets recovery for her and anybody else that was there hit in that attack. So The month of the vet is considered in Judaism one of the three hard months of the year. It says in the zone in Parashat that when Moshe Rabbeinu was born then his mother Yoheved hid him for three months. It doesn't say the word rather Yerahim. She hid him for three moons. The zone asks what are these three moons that it's referring to? It's referring to three months of the year Tevet, Tammuz and Av that the Shekhinah doesn't protect us. We don't have protection from the feminine aspect of the divine.
