part 2, continuation of 5-12 notes

We ended the previous post with how G-d protects those who do tshuva. We improve by doing tshuva. Yehuda went from the pits to the top, because of tshuva, and Nachshon, David, Solomon and the Moshiach are decended from him. David's personality is very similar.

Psalms XXXII, 6 l'et mitzo, at a time of tshuva, at a time missfortune happens
very hard to translate/understand, to make it go out--be revealed, or found;
when the bad feeling of regret of sins flood out, that fits the root tzadi-alef meaning to go out, in hifeal=to make it come out. These feelings shouldn't be a flood shetef mayim. It shouldn't be a flood. Still have to deal with the yetzer haraa. If one repents fully, lachzor btshuva b'ahavah no punishment. We can defeat the yetzer haraa.
9-Don't be like a horse or mule, they don't understand, need the control of blinders and bridle and muzzle.
In the Book of Chagai, the 24th of Kislev, day before Chanukah, dug the foundations for the Beit Hamikdash Hasheini, the Second Temple. until then a curse, but once begun G-d will bless what's planted. I thought of the early Zionists who were involved with agriculture, extremely important to bring blessing and independence.
We are now in the season for miracles. to depose the dictator. politics today!
Trust in G-d, do chessed, all good things
repent, trust in G-d and be happy
Nice way to end the t'hilim part
