Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz - The Gift of Personal Prophecy and Three Points of Rectification

[Music] a very in both enjoyable and inspirational si and may it be the precursor of Google either there's an interesting thought that one of the Belzer Rebbe says that when we do the Cobra ceremony we you know pillow sandwich when you take the matzo and the more or and you lead it together and you recite a a puss look I'm sorry Kumari that says this is what hillo used to do when there wasn't based on McDuff that he would eat the pissant of the matzo and the morrow in a single sandwich to fulfill the verse ow not so sober over him yo rule that the pestle should be eaten with matzah and Margaret now the Belcher of he points out that's the person I'll not sauce Amuro room yo clue is actually not referring to the regular peso it's a for pesos Amy if you were tummy and you had to bring in a month later you have that pleasant there is another Republican caucus PO which is very similar Slee H mu matzos Alma Rho removal so the core were the Hagaddah quotes the wrong verse - it quotes in support of the idea of the sandwich a prusik of in peso shading it ought to quote the puss Turk in the regular pizza so the Belzer Rebbe says implicit in this is a messianic aspiration that we are praying not only should we be able to bring the corporate pesos next year but even this year let me have some before next month and then we will bring the carbon peso that's of Shanee so our hope is not simply Lashon ah-ha-ha it's actually a coda Shabbat we should be Sokka Supreme Being because of change now the topic I'm going to talk about today is based of course on the editorial calendar because we're here in Eretz Israel but as you know there is a perennial problem when yom tov Shamy shall go out and the last extra day in the go Lutz occurs on a Shabbos era chest rel will always be one parsha ahead until there's a ketchup so for example in there in Israel we read parshat jhemini this last shop is because it was no longer pass up in hood slaughter it's it was our own shop som they read the up the rating so consequently this Shabbos we're going to be reading Tosh Rhea it's around double parsha in the hood Solaris they're going to be reading part Schatz meanie so for people who are traveling back and forth and I will be in that predicament myself there is going to be a problem of how you catch up or how you make the Parsee oats NSYNC eventually they do catch up at some point in other words will have will have a double here that they don't have there and that's it result it'll be caught up but for a few weeks there's going to be some some problems so usually you can you should consult your lor local Orthodox rabbi to determine what you do for those difficult situations but since we are in Eretz Israel will be addressing errors as well and the topic I'm going to talk about is a topic that in many many ways is very very hyper technical and those who enjoy hyper technical subjects enjoy the subject but on the other hand it's difficult on that some level to find deep spiritual meaning and I hope that we show you some perspectives that is the laws of leprosy the laws of the disease that are called Sarat and quite amazingly if you add up the number of sook ins that datura devotes to Shabbos foundation of our faith kashrut and you compare them to the number of sukham that are devoted to the discussion of surat there are many more verses about syrettes than there are about Shabbat and conference which is quite quite astounding because one would have assumed that you know the more important something is the more space should be devoted to it and yet here we find that that's around Meriden so much discussion now in spite of the fact that there so many verses it's a very obscure area so let's talk a little bit I'm going to have to with apologies I'm gonna have to be a little technical for a while and then hopefully I'm going to move into a more general discussion first as I'm sure you know and learned over the years the common translation of swords as the leprosy is not quite an accurate translation or at least it does not correspond to the disease that is known or used to be known it's actually not even known that way that much today anyway as leprosy which is Hansen's disease because first of all Hansen's disease was a is a contagious disease but it does not correspond clinically with what the Torah describes as sir rods surrounding the Torah the closest thing that survived is psoriasis and in fact psoriasis might be connected to Seurat and it is a skin condition which involves a discoloration of the skin into a particular shade of white so any other discoloration does not amount to Surat and as the Rambam points out and the problem of course was a doctor so rot is not intrinsically a medical condition because the Torah requires that the person be brought to the co-head and if it would be a medical condition we would go to a doctor we would go to a real thing we would not go there go ahead but rather the Rambam explains as cause I'll teach that Seurat is a physical manifestation of a spiritual illness that is within a person's character and essentially it's a wake-up call to engage in a certain introspection and Shuba process and therefore it's not at all contagious and in fact as we'll see the reason for the apparent quarantine of the Mitsuba is not because of fear of contagiousness but for other reasons which I will get to so that's step number one on one hand well that should there are three types of survived only going to talk about one of them tonight there is the Surat of the flesh there is the Surat of garments and there is the Surat of so you can have houses you can have garments you can have person but we will talk about service of the person and by the way the route mom brings another interesting proof that it's not a physical disease and illness because it mentions there are certain times of year that even if a person has any symptom ology of its Arats the Kohen does not proclaim him to be a myth soda for example during Yom Tov including : o in your Shabbat we do not proclaim with service catania raka'a that developed Sarah's symptoms during the seven days of celebration we do not proclaim them to be emissary now if this was a contagious disease that really makes no sense at all if anything onion tip when you're around a lot of people the danger should be much greater but if you understand that it's a message from God to engage in a chuhwa or an introspective process then we can understand that at certain times we will delay it because of other duties that may have a higher priority such as the joy of the ump death or the joy of a newly married couple so the wrap-up says the whole thing is a spiritual introspection and in particular as I'll tell us there are a number of of arrows for which reason Surat can come to a person the most prominent is Lashon Hara the word myth Soha mode Sirah he who brings out bad about other people it's so rad and also come for gossiped rule arrogance said cuz I'll actually say the sarasu of the flesh is because of Lashon Hara the Saros of garments is because of gossip truest arrogance gasps Oh drew us arrogance because clothing is often a vehicle to show us and the Surat of the by it is saw roots ayan selfishness in terms of sharing your your money or your property etc so Italian right so essentially you're dealing with a virus that our character flaws seeing the bad and others being negative about others being arrogant and being selfish and willing to share with other people okay indeed this explains the Rambam rights why the Matsuura sits in isolation for a while because Lucien Hara ultimately is something that destroys communities destroys friendships impairs relationships in a very very negative way now a person might say I don't really care you know I don't need people I'm self-sufficient I really don't care about the impact of my words on others so the concept of isolating him has a two-fold message one is he is a danger to the community because that type of attitude if it spreads can destroy marriages can destroy relationships so we're putting him away literally because he is a dangerous person but the other aspect of it is in Reverse because a person whose attitude is I am indifferent to human relationships I don't need human relationships we want the person to experience what it is like to be alone and then the person understands the enormity of what he did and the sinfulness of what he did by experiencing a kind of loneliness and a kind of separation from the community of man I remember when I was in Middle School many many years ago shortly after the Civil War know there was a story with the man without a country famous famous story that they call middle school kids and the idea was that he had he was tried for something and he has declared that he doesn't care about the United States and he wishes he would never hear about it again and essentially his sentence was that he would be on a ship and there was no one would ever be allowed to mention in the United States in his presence and any newspaper he read and he represented the United States would be cut out and being totally separated from his country made him realize how much he loved his country not much he needed his country and Lobdell this is exactly the process of the Matsuura that the isolation and the quarantine are designed to make him understand how much a human being needs to be connected to others and therefore the sins of arrogance and the sins of Russian RL that destroy those relationships are so destructive in fact a child psychologist will tell you in the whole area of punishing children disciplining children they say that one should not focus on punishment one should focus on consequence other words not punishing but a person should simply experience the consequences of their behavior so for example if they you know don't get up on time or whatever it would be then they're gonna have to walk to school because Abba has to go to work you know something like that this is exactly the same thing we're not punishing the misery we're making him experience the consequences of the types of attitudes that he has and that is ultimately the best pedagogical device that's how a person gets educated and trained morally by seeing the negative consequences of the behaviors that they engage okay so that's that's a general perspective about Minnesota now there's yet another aspect of our that's so interesting and that is the pivotal role of the Culhane in the process you know the umpires like to say it's not a ball or a strike until I call it as a ball in this drug meeting not that empires are great metaphysical philosophers but essentially they're saying that a ball and strike is not an existential reality it is a reality that comes into existence only by virtue of the decision well so wrath is exactly that way it's not like a medical diagnosis you know when somebody got through it if somebody has a disease the doctor's diagnosis doesn't create the disease it simply determines what is already there with sore ass how lovely it is literally not leprosy until the co-main and it has to be a going and the killed the cohen proclaims it to be leprosy and it's interesting that even if the coin doesn't know the whole occult and the cohen has to consult with a great Thomas Holcomb to determine this the great Thomas Hudler is not the one that makes it leprosy it's the coins Proclamation after consulting with the great Tommy Thomas cousins so the Tom doesn't have a role here other than in advising the culling but the culling doesn't now what is the important role of the comment so here there are two different ideas idea number one is if surahs' teaches us how vitally important good speeches because speech can destroy a person's attitude might be I'm not gonna talk I'm not gonna connect why should I open my mouth if there are so many destructive consequences you know they tell the story you know the happy time as we know wrote his famous poem on Russian haha and there was a rabbi you couldn't believe that a human being could be so careful and so conscientious about speech so you wanted to visit the puppets crime in incognito without identifying himself as a rabbi so he would kind of see if the hobbits clan was living up to his teachings so he came to rotten and he noticed that the happy times son-in-law was so quiet never said a word unless it was torrent filled but the hobbies fine was sitting and joking and telling stories and he thought to himself there's a life the happy times so famous as the one who never says loshon Hara I see that the son was even much more meticulous but then he realized wait it's relatively easy to be meticulous if you simply don't talk carpet I am managed as it were to be fully engaged in conversations of all sorts and never cross the line into negativity and that is an important tea soda because speech is not simply this poisonous thing that you need to avoid very much the opposite speech can comfort can build up can give strength can convey insight it is one of the distinguishing qualities of the godly soul of a human being when it says in the hummus that God breathed into man the nephesh fire the live soul the targa monk Allah says Ruis mamala the power of speech so speech is a godly function in fact a ballistically one of the reasons why blush and already is so bad is you're taking the most godly function that you have and it's like running a sword it's really I think Amara tells us the time and you Xiaomi tells us that rebbi shimon bar yohai once remarked hashem should have given us two different mouths one is a mouth for holiness and the other is a mouth for everyday speech because how can i contaminate my holy mouth but all of the bad speech that i engage it but then he realized God was smarter because if even with one mouth we have so much lush and heart even though I still have the Dodman and learn if I had a dedicated lush in our own mouth the electors by the way this is interesting you show me because robust onion basserman the great Russia Shiva the great martyr of the Holocaust and the very close Talmud of the phobics fiber I was a very serious man he says he never is tell me them say he almost never smiled it's very very serious but when he used to say this you shout me he would break out in a little bit of a smile so the tummy them noticed it because it was so rare but this was they even this even made rubber funnin crack a smile but okay so that's one aspect so what so why do you go to the Cohen because the Cohen is the exemplar of speech that is used for good constructive purposes right our own is the prototype of the Cohen who is our own our own is ohev Shalom for redemption so consequently right he made peace between people so we tell them it's so real look at the model of the Cohen how to use your speech and good ways words comfort remember the verse in Proverbs death and life are in the hands of the tongue that doesn't just mean your lips can kill you but they loose lips sink ships no no that may be sang and that's true as well but it doesn't just mean you can physically die but it means words can destroy a person emotionally and they can also give comfort so our goal is not to shut up our goal is that our words should be vehicles that help others and give comfort to others and give strength to others and that is why the Cohen is so deeply involved the other aspect is that a person might say Oh words don't matter what's why it's so bad like the old saying sticks and stones may break my bones but names do never hurt me names will never hurt me well so wrath is a holistic example of how words make a difference because sorrow comes into existence not by the medical biological phenomenon but by the coax a deeper of the Cohen he told him power of speech speech effects realities and the statement of course sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me is simply not true if anything the bones that are broken by sticks and stones can often heal not always but they got on video the pain inflicted by speech like never healed I remember listening to an interview with Richard Nixon many years ago he was already he already resigned the presidency of the US but he was already being rehabilitated mix it was very masterful and eventually by the time he died he was held in a high esteem bite by quite a number of people and more unless he was accepted as you know a good guy and you know in many ways whether you play was enormously enormously complex personality but he was talking about sixth grade playground taunts and how it affected him now here was a guy who went through the Watergate he went through he resigned the presidency of the United States he was involved with China you know the highest diplomacy in the world nuclear powers and things that happened in in the sixth grade we're still on his mind after all of them and who knows what influence that had maybe subconsciously and all sorts of decisions that were made that affected the world and this is true for people like Saddam Hussein it is true for people like I don't letter now again obviously I'm not going to take the liberal line that all of these mass murdering dictators products of childhood difficulties there are British and people that have suffered a lot in childhood who still managed to become good and righteous people but it it cannot be denied that those experiences push people in a certain way and they don't always make the choices to get beyond it so words are powerful and therefore it's alright is activated by words not by the actual surround and the cohen has put it there to kind of teach us the positive power of speech as opposed to its negative and destructive force okay so now let's go into a situation a person wakes up in the morning and they find a white splash on their hands in this wouldn't apply today because you don't have a beta meek touch so you don't have to worry about it meaning that's why no one's a bit sore today meaning even if I have exactly the condition that corresponds to the tourists are at if we don't have the based on Macduff and the car that can rule on that I am NOT in so that's exactly why leprosy as a whole logic idea does not exist today but in the time of the Beit HaMikdash I wake up and I find the white splotch on my hands I think it might be Seurat I'm not sure I have a heal Teresa to present myself to a Cohen the coin examines it to see if it corresponds to the precise definition so I'm not going to get into that but there is a precise definition if it does not the Cohen just says go home nothing if it does I am put in quarantine at the seven days at the end of the seven days the Cohen comes back to examine me now there might be three things that happen again again is going to be a little technical if the nega the nega is simply the splotch that was certified as surrounds if the nega has expanded i get upgraded or downgraded into a definitive Mitsuru we'll discuss what that means if a black hair in the area turned white I also get upgraded meaning these these are to see money to my meaning say you can be upgraded from provisional missile ready to permanent Mitsuru with either expansion of the nega or the conversion of the black hair if there is to a white hair if however there is no hair where the hair didn't turn white and there's no expansion then that guy is simply still there so then I'm quarantined for another week and then at the end of the second week the coin makes its second examination so here once again if it's expanded I am definitive with sewing if the black hair turns white if there is I am definitive but if nothing happened even though that Sur ass is still there the Surat is still there but if it didn't expand and the black didn't turn white I don't I don't which means even if a person has a lot of leprosy he is not a definitive matura unless you have one of two see my name of two-month which is piece on your piece a young is expansion of the Mecca or say or anecca a LaVon turned white actually I'm sorry and I am and they miss something if there's a third side that can do it as well the third sign that can do it is called myth yeah that in the middle of the NECA there's a piece of healthy flesh that appears now you would think that would be a good sign but no no no it's very much the opposite that is a seaman of two men at once you're upgraded into definitive Mitsuru status you have to wait until the nega goes away and then you have to counter seven days and you have to bring many sacrifices so it's a much much longer and intensive process okay so this is the technical structure that you need to know know just to show you how complicated these hollow codes are there's a whole different procedure obviously for clothing and all different teacher for houses and even skin which service has different dishes if it's on the hair or the beard or it came as a result of a burn or a bruise so each of them has a whole separate set of standards and hollow cuts I am just taking one out of six different types of leprosy the most common that is rods of the Orbis arts or out of the skin okay so you understand the idea the idea is that after week number one if you have one of the C Monday to month he's upgraded if nothing happens you wait till week number two if he has one of the C money to my he is upgraded if nothing happened he is tahor he doesn't have to worry about anything even though it's arrived is still there and the three C money move to month are a piece a young the nega is bigger than it was the second Simon Toma is the black hair if there is if there's a black hair located in the area like it's on the arm turns white and the third C Mon Toma is that within the nega that's within the area that's covered by the white splotch there is the appearance of healthy flesh that's a bad thing not a good thing right that's a symptom so this is like hyper-technical as I say and there are many many many many details but if there some spiritual message that we can get for this and some practical lesson because obviously we don't have the hollows of Seurat today so we're learning them it's because we tried to derive some lessons that do apply to our abode accession what lessons might they be so as I said before the purpose of the midsummer going into quarantine is to enable him to engage in introspection to feel the consequences of his negative actions to realize the enormity of his sin the semen Toma is a physical manifestation from God effectively telling the person that you're introspective process is defective in various ways go back into the cave now let's look at the three c-money - but because when a person is confronted with various imperfections of character no you the person is confronted with evidence that he's hurt people that he's done things that are inappropriate and he perpetrated any form of emotional abuse not just physical visible emotional abuse so those are hard that's a hard medicine to think none of us likes to be confronted with our mean adequacies our failings and our faults so as a result we have many types of defense mechanisms which kind of prevents us from really confronting and dealing with the problem and it is suggested by some abortion that's the three C Mon M of impurity that upgrade a person into a definitive Mitsuru status represent the three types of excuses that we engage in in order to avoid serious introspection on judgment of Memphis the first I'll take them in a different order the first is the black hair turns white let's say the nega is located on an arm or a place that has black hair so the first thing we might do is we might deny that we've done anything wrong that's called even in English white watching I am white I am blameless we might do it by simply not acknowledging what we did or we might tell ourselves they deserved it or they might you might say they did a lot worse to me whatever form it takes whether it takes the form of outright denial or whether it's blaming the victim which is a very common these spousal abuse this is a comment befriend among spousal abusers she mused he's the she's the victim she made me do it no I'm not I'm not justifying unreasonable behavior you know there there are people that behave in an unreasonable way but that doesn't justify you know hitting hitting them or slamming them in the face not that that's that's another issue so if the Cohen examines them its own right right the original surahs' tells them it's all wrong you've got an are they where for which you have to introspect but go into quarantine for seven days if the Cohen after seven days examines it and the black hair turned white that is a sign from God you sir are still in denial you are whitewashing you have not admitted to yourself that you have something to work on you need to go back now by contrast if at the end of the two weeks there is no sim until now that actually means you've completed the process you can go home even though you have the nega but you can work on sugar at home because you've done enough introspection okay so defense mechanism number one is whitewashing which we will call denial as they say either outright denial blaming the victim giving rationalizations for what you did now the second let another opposite almost opposite response and that is a sense of such an overwhelming sense of guilt that I am enveloped with hopelessness that things could ever be rectified so what's the point of even trying this is actually two exactly the opposite of the denial but it has the same practical effect there is not going to be any positive change because a person feels they are so far gone that there is no point in trying to be a better person that is represented by the second signature lab where the Nagas just grows bigger then even after you're aware of the sin you let it grow bigger because you have a hopelessness that things could ever be better that there is a connection between denial and hopelessness in the sense that sometimes we move into a denial mode because it would be so painful to confront the reality of the situation that we would be overrun with hopelessness a week so we put it into denial right so they say your Livan is denial and the peace are young that's the expansion of the nega is hopelessness and years but then there's a third response and the third response is not exactly the same as denial although it seems a bit similar the third response is emotional distancing I just don't allow myself to think about it perhaps because that will become leave me the hopelessness and paralysis that in order for me to function I cannot let myself dwell on the negativities within my personality that is represented by the healthy flesh in the middle of the nagas meaning even if I'm surrounded by all sorts of rot that I'm supposed to correct I'm gonna not let it penetrate my heart so to speak so that's kind of emotional denial and I'm saying that maybe no it's not there is emotional distancing so it's not denial see denial is a cognitive process in which I make up a story I make up a narrative emotional distancing is very different I don't make up a narrative I have no narrative I just ignore this situation I sweep it under the rug and of course if you keep on sweeping things under the rug eventually the rug gets a bite high and it gets harder and harder to to clean so what is the concept of the syma hmm the appearance of the Sarat rid tells the person you have in a very you have a character flaw do children isolate yourself for seven days if a person has the simin of two month that indicates that is either in a state of denial or a state of hopelessness or e state of emotional distancing the remedy for that is continue the process till everything goes away till your truth was complete and sacrifices in the life if however after two weeks there was no Simonton then even if he still has the nega he can go home because if these rationalizations don't exist he has created the foundation for a healthy truven and he can do that from the comfort of his own without going through all of the restrictions of the white yes yes if it turns back I think he'll also go that's correct that's correct the simin itself can be reversed meaning the netiquette shrink etcetera a key there is a much more modest or from there is an offering of two birds but it's not really in the base of meekness it's even offered outside of the base of me that's one bird is fluttered and one bird is released so that is the offering for the person who goes home because he never situated into the full-fledged and so on but once you graduate to the full-fledged and sober then you have to wait till the leprosy goes away then you count seven days after that and then you bring animal offerings no no it would only be after the second week meaning meaning the way it works is if after the second week okay if after the first week there are no see Monday till nah he doesn't go home we just quarantine him for another week if after the second week he has that any of the seeming Toma he is upgraded to a foreman so rat if he does not he goes free but he has to bring the two birds okay well it's an interesting question I guess that it's part of a larger question are there going to be sins in the time of Messiah meaning obviously the the surface of the baits and mix-ups is going to come back when would she ever comes but it's over depends on people doing certain of a rose so this would depend if the Messianic era is an era in which there will be no sin that there will be no authority if on the other hand it's an era where people will still send albeit they'll be much more righteous then it would come back so by the way you want to point out the Rambam makes an interesting point that's a-rod's is actually a gift of the almighty it's a form of prophecy they give a person they direct a message you know although it's certainly not comfortable to be a bit server and it's also humiliating because people don't know my public shame but it is a gift from God because it gives a person feedback and I remember when I talked to law school for many years a diversity of Maryland so mean Law School is common that only one exam is given at the end of the semester there's one final in other words there's no many the average course does not have papers written work in the middle there's no midterm so a person's whole grade depends on one exam at the end of a course so law school students are anxious anyway reasons so common anxiety that students expressed was if they can only have some feedback during the semester how they how they were doing that could help them adjust their studies and an Andalite and yet the common law school experience again there's seven hours are different seminars they'd have it work but if you talk about the the large class lecture there was no feedback whatsoever so with Hashem Lahab do we have the same issue if only God would tell me what I need to do when there was surest god what's telling you what you needed to do so as bad as it is there are bad right it was a great great gift from God and that is why you know when Soros left us so Raths left us when prophecy left us because Sarah's is an aspect of divine prophecy given to individuals to be a precise targeted message what they need to work on in their spiritual life so it seems to be from that that in the bio Cheney there was no the ritual of bits or did not exist yes yes the time of the Mishkan till the very beginning of the bio chaining now yeah well from yeah from CS mitzrayim to the end of the by entry shown is 850 years yeah yeah that period of them no I don't have a sense of how many numbers we don't have any statistics how often was this there is one comment in the Guevara that according to one opinion it's our odds of the houses never occurred it was a totally theoretical Allah just like the rebellious son lo ha ha Bologna in front but the Gomorrah does not say that about the leprosy of people so there were such situations and in fact I'm not itself gives us examples besides Miriam which is little omission self Moshe Limoges hand turned leprous Miriam was immense Oh rats but we read about the haftorah of Toria we read about for under shimon sobre em who were Jewish we read about a knowledge of getting throughout but it's actually very unusual not lon and that's how lovely very very unusual the Surat is normally you know God's gift so to speak to the Jewish people so Surat was certainly not unknown among people of an among and of course one of the Kings one of the male Israel that's a-rod's lucio this is not recorded specifically but it mentions that musiah was one of the multi Utah and it mentions that this is the only example of a king retiring and by Pope Benedict and passing the maluca to his son but there's no discussion of why he retired but because I'll give you a whole backstory that Lucy Yahoo wanted to take the role of the Coen as well as Mela so he went into the kodesh abduction to bring incense and he was immediately smitten with Serrat on his forehead that situation there wasn't much in heart so to speak but this is what he got arrested so so right on his forehead and there's a results how logically there's all questioning but so we cannot assume royal authority and there's a result in Co no longer able to be melis so he's the only instance really of a functioning King forced as it were to abdicate because of syrettes so clearly there was source of people but we're not really sure about the we don't have any record of the of the numbers so what's interesting is this what's interesting is we just had a factor peso and the key message of Kanto paths are the key Mitzvah black oppressor is of course be or comments getting rid of humming right not only are you not allowed to eat some eggs you're not allowed to own comments you're not allowed to possess comments and this is a very serious thing because if you didn't dispose of your comments either by eating it by destroying it or by selling it to a guy which many of us do the comments that you had in your possession over posada becomes permanently prohibited even after pizza but you know this this is why when stores didn't when Jewish Lyon stores did not sell their comments during pizza you're not allowed to buy comments from those stores until they had a turnover of stuff that they got after pizza that's why you may remember what's leritz do you would say you know don't buy from this store till lancome air or whatever it was because you might be buying the promise that they own in fact there's an interesting my focus now in the united states just digress for a moment one of the major beer distributors was a jewish distributorship and some conscious organizations announced that you cannot buy any of their beer and they they they they provide fifty or so different brands of beer to many many supermarkets in the New York New Jersey area now the funny story about it is this distributor did sell his comments to a rabbi he sold the beer beer of course of scrub and said he sold the beer to the rabbi who sold it to a guy but the distributor then continued to market the beard paisa so the question is should the highlighted question is this if I sell my comics to a good and so it's technically not mine but I simply continue to operate my store and pocket the money does that invalidate the sale does that show in other words that I thought it was just a joke so there's really a big McLaughlin through moshe feinstein and so this is a big profit a lot of stories i mean a lot of times a store will sell instruments just make make the rabbi or the Jewish people happy and then totally ignore what it means to sell your comments they're there their business will be open on Pesach they will sell the carpet so they're not gonna give the guarding the money for that sale they're gonna keep the money so some posts can say any person who says that he sells his funds and then behaves exactly the way he behaved before he sold his comments didn't really intend to sell his comments at all and if he didn't intend to sell his comments at all that comments cannot be bought by a Jew even after Pesach and you gotta wait until there's a turnover and that is what those posts will say about this beer distributor that you can't buy this beer Rameau chef I seen on the other hand did have a lenient view promotion said hey a deal is a deal is a deal the carpets were sold it is true that if the business continues to sell the comments after it sold it to a guy the person is stealing from the guy okay that's enough anyway but the fact that he's stealing from the guy doesn't mean there hasn't been a sale to the guy and therefore a moshe feinstein ruled that when the hummus is purchased back after Pesach from the gardens you as a Jew or larger so essentially these beer announcements that you get in New York some conscious organizations say there is a problem and some conscious organizations say there is no problem so it's a little bit of a turf war between Contras organizations but the point I wanted to connect you with psoriasis following so we talked about getting rid of comets and Clements we know symbolizes the eights are a rather person the age of our right is called so or shall be ISA the leavening agent of the dough but what's interesting is if you look in the before ssin for the three that there are different reasons why hummus represents negativity it's interesting that there are three aspects of hummons that actually corresponds to the three c money to movement solar aspect number one his car maze is puffed up and full of air that represents arrogance and divert arrogance and divert corresponds to whitewashing and denial because if I don't if I'm not willing to admit that I have flaws and failures that represents a certain arrogance on my part that I'm above so the puffy nature of the from its arrogance corresponds to the white hair which is whitewashing that's one aspect of comments now a second aspect of progress the morale rights is one difference in comics and matza is homemade spoils and rots and gets moldy and Madson does not spoil that much thank you means don't get monster from Masada they say you know sometimes feel that we do we do have those monsters monster could be very old and still edible in a way that homage is not comics represents the progression of rat that corresponds to the hopelessness of peace I own that when a person is in a bad way they continue to go in the bad way because they have a hopelessness and helplessness that they are able to change that they feel that they're not able to change now a third symbol of comments the morale rights is from eighths represents inertia and matzah represents action why is that so because when flour hits water if you do nothing at all it will become comments automatically you don't need a starter you don't need yeast you don't need a leavening agent doing nothing will create comments matzo requires taking action doing nothing generally inertia suggests emotional distance I simply do not relate to the situation in any way and that corresponds to the mithya to the healthy flesh in vinegar so because of this that it's not accidental that right after Pesa which focuses on the eradication and destruction of comments we read about surahs' which also has three C Mon above Touma that corresponds to three negativities of comments the Saaremaa bond which is denial corresponds to the arrogance of clemens the puffed up the peace our young the expansion of the Mokka which corresponds to hopelessness corresponds to the progressive rot of comets and finally the mithya but could the healthy flesh within which corresponds to emotional distancing corresponds to the message of comets as inertia and these are three negative factors we have to overcome in our own spiritual lives acknowledge what we need to change do not be overwhelmed with hopelessness be optimistic that we have the power to affect positive change and confront meaning don't emotionally sweep it under the rug but be willing to engage and be open to it so be answered the Chairman so we go through the O'Meara which is supposed to be a man of spiritual introspection maybe these lessons guide us and inspire us and help us to prepare for couple [Music]
