Rabbi side, here I am again. You know, in such a generation, if a person has 2 minutes of his day, even to go in to watch a Vayomer clip, you're a tzaddik. In such a world, so many nisyones, chazak chazak. Rabbi side, I'm proud to be a Yid. We all have sometimes in life we take a kabbalah on ourself, and we feel a tremendous tremendous siyata d'Shmaya. You go on a week and 2 weeks, and you You go on a week and 2 weeks, and you mamash feel the Ribono shel Olam takes you, and it gives you the koach and the courage on the kabbalah that you took. And all of a sudden, you lose it. All of a sudden, you feel like you're climbing a mountain. You're pushing up an 18-wheeler up a mountain. You feel like every day another nisyone, another nisyone, davening, learning, no koach. What's going on? I lost all the geshmak that in I took on myself.
