What’s said in this shiur

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

a person should try to do truva to live a life that is completely aligned with his or her truest and deepest divine core the linear kappa mechatov and to cleanse his hands from corruption from his transgressions kadeshayamus so that he dies as a balchu so that he merits the life of the world to come it's fascinating that the rambam uses the term ishtadala the mlas trover a person should try to do trivia he doesn't say khayev adam is true the person is obligated it's like almost acting here as a wise consultant and saying i want to give you some wise advice i want to plant an idea into your head since you have free choice it would be a good idea it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to do true we would expect it i'm going to say a person is obligated to do chuva perhaps the rambam uses the word yustado to convey a very profound idea authentic children must come from within you know imagine your wife tells you i want you to say i'm sorry so you say okay i'm sorry the definition of a real i'm sorry is that it comes from your own internal awareness authentic truth is truva that is not only sincere but it's also true that you choose to do that's why the rambam says since free choice was granted to a person therefore you should try to do in other words you should choose to do you should appreciate who you really are who you are not what you can be what it means to possess the gift of freedom
