Imagine Hashem goes to Olam HaBa (world to come) one day and tells them, “Black Friday.” All the Neshamot (all the dead souls) can come back to Olam HaZeh (this world) for 24 hours. Black Friday, Rabotai (my masters): everybody who has passed away over thousands of years can go back to Olam HaZeh for 24 hours, still in this world. What do you think the Neshamot are going to do if they have an opportunity to live one more day? Do you think they’re going to go online? Do you think they’re going to go on YouTube or Instagram? Do you think they’re going to go shopping in Macy’s or book tickets on Airbnb in Florida? What do you think they’re going to do? They’re going to sit and learn Torah and accomplish as many mitzvot (commandments) as possible, because they know the value that He has in Olam HaBa.
How many more 24 hours do we have, Rabotai? 120 shana (years). You know how much there is to accomplish? So much Torah, so many mitzvot, so much potential. And on Rosh Hashanah, one has to remember the potential that He has, how much you can accomplish. So many mitzvot. Hashem, thank you. Thank you for making me a Yid (Jew).
