0:00 In the Zohar, Parshas Noach, page 62b, we see that... you know that Rabbi Shimon explains many times in the Zohar that this blemish of the drops of the brain, the drops of the mind, this is a blemish against the whole Torah, and it causes all the troubles, the problems, the illnesses, the sufferings that there are in the world. It is very important that a person be holy in the covenant. But one of the important things for the rectification of the Yesod - our master Rabbi Yosef Chaim in the responsa Rav Pealim, and Maran the Chida, Rabbi Yitzchak Alfiyah, many of our holy ones and our sages, They said that there is a very, very great importance in these days to redeem them with charity.
0:36 That is to say, by setting a value in order to redeem - to redeem it with charity, which is a kind of tikkun. Not everyone can fast - people are weak, they have very great weakness, and it is very hard for them to fast, to do those fasts. So it is possible to redeem it with charity, to any place he wants - he gives some coins to charity, and then, in practice, 'redeem your sins with charity' - he intends by this to repair the blemish of that blemish, and it will be counted for him as a kind of fast - or whatever he can, each according to his strength.
1:05 We do not... the Holy One, blessed be He, searches the heart and mind; He sees what a person can do. And this tikkun, which is truly the most important thing that takes place in heaven, when you want to repair every sin and every transgression, is when you take upon yourself never to return again to doing this bad thing, this is the greatest teshuvah, and this is the greatest tikkun. One of the tikkunim for the rectification of the Yesod at this time is to rise at netz hachamah, sunrise.
1:32 And fortunate are you that you rose at sunrise to pray, as you know, to rise at sunrise - now in the winter, when it is cold and very hard to get up and gather to pray - people barely manage to pray later. And baruch Hashem that you all come and strengthen yourselves; so the very fact that you prayed at sunrise is already one of the wonderful tikkunim of Shovavim.
