Episode 2428 - Judge or Jury or ...

0:00Good evening. Hope you had an awesome day. So I had a really interesting encounter. You know rabbis have lots of really really different types of days. So today someone came to meet with me who's actually going to be going to court and from what I understand They have a choice of either having a jury or a judge. Now I don't know if that's accurate I'm assuming it is but I got me thinking about this entire time period of where we talk about judgment and how different it really is See when you talk about courts One in the jury idea is that you're always worried about how are they interpreting what you're saying? What do they think of you and whether or not you'll be able to convince them and by a judge? It's kind of the same thing, but you're only worrying about that one judge What will they think and how do I convey my case when it comes to this time period by Russia Shana though There's nothing that we could say that the judge doesn't already know and the reality is the point of the judge is Not to find out whether we're guilty or innocent but whether to understand how is it that we can go ahead and grow from this

1:00Experience that's the entire purpose of a judgment period It's not to try to convince him of something or to pull the will over his eyes or even to show him how really at core We're innocent. It's for us to struggle with understanding what motivates us Where are pitfalls and how can we stand before the God the King of all kings the ultimate judge who knows exactly what's going on inside? And rather than trying to go ahead and rationalize her hide It's an opportunity to expose and engage the ultimate judge who all he wants is Hamelah Khaffetz-Bachayim the King of all kings who just desires that we have the best life possible It's a totally different type of judgment day So I was this person the best of luck in his and it was each and every one of us the best of luck in ours as well And so on that note wishing you an awesome night and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow
