00:00 [unclear] You need to know what it is. [unclear] What does it look like? [unclear] We all know it’s always precise. We know it’s Tishrei, Rosh Hashanah. [unclear] When you say that automatically, what does it mean? [unclear] It’s the Rebbe. [unclear] After all, he has [unclear]. [unclear] This isn’t something you see outside the Rebbe. You see it among Jews, and it’s “there is nothing besides Him.” [unclear] The month of Elul [unclear]. You don’t need to [unclear] for that. We, chassidim, [unclear]. Rosh Hashanah [unclear]. The month of Elul [unclear]. The king is there with individual matters, and also with those who stand before him. It doesn’t mean that self-nullification cancels out the whole thing; there are individual matters too. [unclear]
02:39 But it is a sense of self-nullification before the king, and self-nullification before the Rebbe [unclear]. [unclear] Spirituality, [unclear] physicality. [unclear] What can you say? It’s awesome, it’s awesome. [unclear] That’s what the Tzemach Tzedek says about the month of Elul. [unclear] But [unclear]—the time of Rosh Hashanah is a good time. It’s a good time. You can do teshuvah for sins all year, but the month of Elul is the time for teshuvah. [unclear] You can do teshuvah every day. [unclear] Even when a Jew [unclear], you do teshuvah every day. There are great things [unclear]. Everyone needs to do teshuvah. That’s a Chabad idea. [unclear] All year [unclear], but now, before Rosh Hashanah, [unclear]. People say, “I am what I am.” [unclear] That’s an argument. [unclear] The holy tongue is also [unclear].
04:52 What does that mean? [unclear] A person knows within himself that he has shortcomings. [unclear] In the tavern [unclear]. [unclear] I am what I am. [unclear] Do you know what that really means? [unclear] But [unclear] if you want to be a tzaddik [unclear]. [unclear] I have [unclear] about sins. [unclear] What does that mean? [unclear] It sounds nice to me, but [unclear]. [unclear] You know, everyone knows within himself [unclear]. But this is the time. [unclear]
07:19 Do you know what’s needed? To be humble. [unclear] And you’ll see, [unclear], now is the time for that too. This is the time. [unclear] Teshuvah [unclear].
