Nail in the Tombstone - Shemos (Rabbi Dovid Kaplan) (Weekly Parsha)

so if you take a look it's fascinating idea there this is packed now it says his sister stands at a distance to know what's going to happen to him now the plane meeting over here she was then she went down to the river to see what's going to happen to Mosher abeno but the uh you see there was Miriam had had a prophecy that she told her father that you're going to have the Redeemer and then when he gets tossed into the river so her prophecy do doesn't look so good CU he's in the river where a lot of things could happen so one of for says that she stood firm the word mean she stood firm May from a distance that means no matter how distant it would seem to be at this point that this is going to be the Redeemer she had full faith in that she stood firm may even though she was at a distance that mean she she doesn't give Hope on give up Hope on the fact that a lot can happen which does which then does happen right that's what they that's the lesson over here is that in life a person has to know never to give up hope a lot of funny things happen in life a lot of situations where where where people are have given up where you don't see any y right y you don't see any any hope and has many ways to bring about salvations Rabbi if you've heard a chief Rabbi Herz his wife with was was deathly ill and they even went to the for a br she was she didn't have much longer to live they went to gave her a and within the doctors had given her two weeks to live and during those two weeks antibiotics then came to the market and she was cured so a person sometimes you know you say what hope is there I don't see any hope you know you don't have to see nobody saw the antibiotics you didn't see it I had no idea you couldn't have come up with In Your Wildest Dreams you couldn't have come up figured out how is she going to get out of this one ways to get people out of it so that's the first that's the first lesson over here so then's daughter goes down to wash the she sends out her according to one opinion is her maid servant to go bring the the the what you call she sends her servant out to go get the uh this this uh basket that's floating in the water according to the other opinion she stretched her arm out aosa it means your arm and she stretched her arm out and according to kazal the med her arm miraculously stretched different opinions how far it stretched one opinion is 60 Amos 60 Amos is about 90 ft I mean you get a first down on every play like that you know you know you know you know you know fourth and long you know you just go for the stretch play you know so she stretches her arm out now the question over there because so what happened and if you put it in a proper perspective what happened she reached her arm out and could and it stretched now that doesn't you know if you stop and think about it let's say I was sitting here let's say I tell you oo that clock is off I want to adjust the clock and I stretch my arm out now one of two things going to happen if I stretch my arm out to reach that clock which is on the far wall which is about 30 ft away from me if I stretch my arm out one of two things either my arm won't stretch in which case that makes me very weird like why I'm trying to reach the clock that would be very strange and even stranger is my arm does stretch because we don't have she doesn't have a history of her arm stretching that means this is the the classic gamar question what was the havina why did she think her arm would stretch what was she thinking if her AR arm doesn't stretch then it's ridiculous and if her arm does stretch she has no reason to think that it will so what would she go was go through her mind over here good question right the answer is we learn a muser lesson the muster lesson is that sometimes in life you have to try to help somebody I don't think I'm capable try try and you'll see what happens either it'll work or it won't work you know they have these stories about you know kid trapped under a car and the mother comes over and she lifts the car off off her what are you thinking she's not an Olympic weightlifter how could she possibly even attempt to do it the answer is cuz something needs help I got to try something so you try next thing you know the car lifts off they got all sorts of explanations adrenaline this that and the other you know how how it happened but she tried she tried because he got the adrenaline see she try so she she opens it up now watch she opens it up she sees the child is crying she has compassion she says oh he's one of the Hebrews how did she know how did she know so one of yeah circumcision he was circumcised ah but that begs the question that Yosef had all the Egyptian circumcised remember Yosef had made ah but then it says a new king arose over y who he abolished yosef's decree of C cision ah so that's why you see sometimes spins the wheels in such a way that that this way she'd recognize as a Jewish child the whole world you see a Countrywide decree you know would be the equivalent love nowadays it would be equivalent of the United States the treasury dropping the interest rates and then one guy in Lakewood who studies Torah can now afford a house and he wasn't able to afford the house before why could he afford the house because the entire country dropped interest rates and you stop and think yourself why' they do it what it was all for one guy who's sitting and learning bubak who needs in Lakewood who needs to buy who needs to buy a house so that whole country is affected because of one because of one Jew so the the whole decree nobody needs to circum why because in a few years there's going to be a child floating in the water in Basia and the daughter of parro is going to see him he has to be able to identify him as a Jew so uh uh uh you see you see how K is spinning the wheels over because her father made the decree why is mosha in the water to begin with because par is worried there's going to be a redeemer and he's doing everything in humanly possible to avoid this Redeemer because the astrologers have said the Jewish Redeemer was born so what happens his own daughter goes brings him out of the water and then is going to raise him in her father's Palace so there is his stepgrandson his stepgrandson is sitting his adopted grandson isitt sitting on his lap where he's calling in and talking to his military anybody say any word about the advice he's burping his his grandson and talking about any word on the Redeemer you know and he's got him on his lap so that PSY is spinning even more than that even more than that you know the famous question is why would parro raise him I why why is parro taking in this Jew he sees as a Jewish kid so it's very interesting remember that he was in the palace and he had three advisers and one of his advisers was billum and one was yro and billum said you know this looks like a precocious youngster right I know I I'm nervous about him I don't think I got a bad feeling about him I think we should kill him now and yra said no no no let's put him to the test and that's the famous test with the coals and the gems they so so what do they they put it and mosh reaches for the coals they put the he reaches for the gems and the Malik comes the angel comes and he pushes his hands over he picks up one of the coals and touches it to his mouth and from that mosh had developed a lisp so you see that that also why moso he burns he burn he has has trouble talking from the moment mosh had trouble talking power was convinced this can't be the Redeemer because in his mind who becomes a leader some guy who's got you know the ability to speak and yeah if you can't speak you're not going to become a leader if you can't talk in t ently you're not going to become a leader may become the president but you're not going to become not become the leader right because in their mind the you got to be able to to convince people talk so this all part of God's plan you see that even he burns his mouth and that's the way that he's going to be raised on parro's lap where parro is still looking to try to prevent the Redeemer that's that's how K is manipulating events in the world I'll tell you a real shocker what day was this m is three months old right he's three months old in this what day was he was born the seventh of ad from seventh of Nissan so three months later is the sixth day of Sion three months from the day he's born this is the day she finds him what happened on the sixth day of San the Torah was given in har CI when she opens up this what do you call it she gets a personal experience of Revelation at Hari it's the fifth day sixth day of Sion she opens it up and that creates a spiritual transformation in her and therefore she ends up converting and believe it or not she's going to end up becoming the wife of K Ben yauna K is both remember K the two spies K benun that's remarkable is K's first SP wife he had two wives you know his col his first wife was Miriam so that this girl who she mens up meeting at the river over there Miriam this is going to be her co-wife later on in life this is going to be her co-wife interesting isn't it so she becomes Jewish goes through the spiritual transformation what triggers it she opens up and she sees there's a what do you call it now I want to tell you something I I there's a there's an interesting it's a vort but there so much depth to it somebody once said she sees a child crying and she says oh M he's a Jewish child how'd she know how'd she know so somebody what said because Jews CED differently tremendous dep you know what that means when a Jew cries there's a cry mixed with hope and here we are here we are three 2,000 years later we're still talking about the rebuilding of a bides when Jews cry there's a cry of Hope mixed in it's not a cry there there's despair despondency but there's a percentage of Hope and so when a Jew cries it's a it's a again it's not the literal shot but there's a lot of depth to that that a Jew she hears a Jewish cry the Jew cries differently and the the uh there's even one of the gdm I remember there was a story somebody somebody your family died and the kids somebody some relativ started wailing he said don't wail Jews don't wail Jews don't wail you cry you don't wail there's a cry of despondency somebody there was apparently Jewish tourist at the at the got to the kol went to the Western Wall on Tish where everybody is saying you the Tish where people go to the Western Wall and they cry the destruction basa mdash so one of these non-jewish Church says why is everybody crying they said well we had the temple stood here and it was destroyed say oh you didn't have insurance that was the uh that was that was the reaction you didn't have insurance on the building otherwise if you had insurance you wouldn't be crying so we do have insurance the only thing is we have haven't paid up our premiums yet so the uh you know the pre there there are certain premiums we have to pay if we paid those premiums we would get the we would get the insurance the building would be restored so she takes and she takes a look V so the sister asks her should I go and get you a Jewish nurse woman to nurse the baby because I'll say that all the Egyptian women over there tried nursing him but mosh Reno because he was going to be speaking with Hashem directly so that he didn't nurse from the impurity of the of the Egyptian women so she say should I get you a Jewish woman an i she said to her yeah go so she goes and she calls his mother so comes so three four lines from the bottom take this child and nurse him for me and I'll pay you she takes him and she and she and she nurses him that's called a great job now a great job is something you would do for free and you get paid for it that's called a great job and if you get paid a lot more than you think you deserve that's a really good job that's an unbelievable yall know the best job I ever had in my life best job I ever I mean this besides being at or right the best job I ever had was when I was about 19 so we used to go to the J local JCC twice a week there was men's basketball Tuesday nights and Thursday nights so I went to play went play basketball for a couple hours so one day the guy running the gym he didn't feel like being there so he asked me if I would be willing to open the gym help bring the rack of basketballs out which I did anyway up until that point because I was the first one there usually one of the first ones there put the basketballs away and lock up the gym and then get paid for it so I used to go play ball and get paid I I tell people I was at one point a professional basketball player because I played basketball and I got paid for it right that was the best job I ever ever had by far right but nothing's ever nothing's ever compared to it so so the the the the the she tells her nurse who's she nursing her own child which she's going to do anyway and she's getting paid she's getting paid to nurse her child okay so then Moser abeno is brought up and if you look at the bottom this is a this is very insightful into what's going to happen throughout the rest of the history she brings a child to basar V Moshe she names him Moshe According to some she knowes so she decided what she wants to name him and ask the the mother how do you say this Ines M because I drew him out of the water now if that's true she Drew him out of the water so what should she have called him Mish why did you call me she should call why did you call Moshe she should have said me because I drew him out of the water she called name it's like it's like his name is Moshe which is she called him drawer she should have called him Drew Mish is past tense I drew him out of the water what does she call him Moshe the drawer right why what's the answer obviously because the name is a description of what his role in life is going to be he's going to be the drawer he's going to be the one who draws the Torah down from he's going to draw the Jewish people out of Egypt he's going to draw them through the desert for 40 years mosu is that is his task in life he is going to be the one who draws others I drew him out of the not only that I rescued him he's going to be rescuing people so mosenu the name is a description not only what she did what she did is really a preview of what he's going to be doing that's the nature of mosh that's it's the whole task in life okay so now we get the very very big question very very you have to turn on your gamorra thinking caps now because it says gets older and he's what do you call he's also Rashi says means that he's already what do you call he's becoming more prominent he sees the brother suffering he sees an Egyptian as a Jew now the Egyptian according to the medish the Egyptian took a liking to this Jew's wife and uh he got the Jew up early before the crack had Dawn it was still dark got the Jew up early to go out and do work then he went back the wife it was dark she thought it was her husband and he he violated the guy's wife when the guy realized it and the Egyptian knew that the husband understood what had happened so he was just oppressing him because they oppressing him and possibly trying to kill him so what did MOS do he looks in all directions she sees that there nobody around he smites the MIT and he hides them in the sand he buries them in the sand so the first question is over here I mean the plain meaning is he takes a look around he says nobody's watching so he kills the Egyptian that's an indication of leadership potential leadership on the one hand you take responsibility right somebody's somebody suffering I got to step in over here there somebody needs me on the other hand he's not rash and impulsive about it first look around you Ser check the don't just go R rushing ahead a headlong rush you have to look around you to see what what what what's happening now watch this where do we have a precedence for this sort of this sort of stepping in when a Jewish woman has been violated where do we have a precedent for that yes Shina and who steps in her two brothers who Shimon and Ley oo see you saying what did Ley say when they asked Yakov said why'd you do it they said they're going to turn our sister into Harlot so you see that Ley moshe's ancestor he comes with shave at Ley when a woman was violated Ley can't tolerate it and Ley goes and takes action but they're criticized by yovino why because they didn't take the circum other circumstances into consideration they just ran they just went ahead and did it so moshu is a descendant takes the very takes the same energy he's got the the genetic tendency from Ley to stand up when a woman's been violated a Jewish woman and he takes action but before he does he takes it one step further which is what first look around and where are we going to find this again in history we're going to find it again yet again by a member of shavit Ley who's it going to be P correct when the Jewish man is consorting with the non-jewish woman P also from sh Le because he's a coin comes from AR coin which Ley and P also takes action but what does p do before he does he approached mosu to check if this is the right thing to do which is again that it's taking that same Ley energy but tapering it with responsibility first you got to look around what are the C what are what are the what are the consequences going to be over here and so MOS shows leadership ability because on the one hand he steps in to help the oppressed on the other hand it's not rash and impulsive it's something that's done with forethought by now look at Rashi because is going to create a very big problem gentlemen take a look at Rashi it's the right column of Rashi uh eight lines from the bottom seven eight lines from the bottom plus good B if you find it please show the person next to you and I'm not going to Spill the coffee today bleet I'm G to attempt not to spill the coffee what does it mean here and there he saw what he did in this guy's house that he had violated his wife he sees what he's doing out in the field that he's smacking him around V he sees there's no one around so what does Rashi say saw prophetically that no one would emerge from this Egyptian who's going to convert to Judaism and after he sees that prophetically then he kills them now there's a big question here ready ready for the thumbs get the sharpen the thumbs guys right here we go the Egyptian was hitting the Jew was it a life-threatening situation or not one second if it wasn't so what gives him the right to kill the Egyptian it's not life-threatening why is he killing him it's not life-threatening so break it up why why you killing the guy can't kill just guy guy's punching somebody can't go kill him and if it's not if it is lifethreatening so since when do we take into account future Generations if somebody deserves to die if ruen is chasing shim with a knife and he's ruen is a Roda you have to step in and you have to kill Ruan you don't stop and oh but one second you know one of ruan's children may become the gador may become the leader of generation you don't think make if the guy deserves to die he's got to die you got to kill him right now not only do you know that a woman in basen who's pregnant let's say a woman committed a capital offense and she's pregnant she worshiped idols and she's condemned to death do you know that if she's pregnant bason does not wait for her to give birth look look at what's going to be right now that's the law that's what we have to do so I either way you turn you've got a problem here if this is the this is where the thumbs really go up right with the Jewish tune if it was life-threatening so why is mosha looking into the future you're supposed to kill him because they protected Jew and if it's not lifethreatening so what gives you the right to kill them you understand the problem here if you don't have right but but neither of them have anything to do with what's going to happen in the future that's the problem so there's a brilliant answer it's a brilliant brilliant answer the answer is he wasn't trying to kill him had he been trying to kill him mosha would have stepped in without making any calculations El what he wasn't trying to kill him oh what's the if a noahide is hitting a Jew there the is he Des he will be put to death by what called oh how did Moshe kill him by the way how did mosha kill him secret name he said one of the names of Hashem oh that means Mosher Renu himself was slipping into Mis sh mode ah when Hashem puts people to death what does hasem doem makes all these future calculations if Hashem put somebody to death it's not just like based in this is the law execute her when Hashem puts somebody to death he takes in well maybe his wife doesn't deserve the suffering of losing him that could get him off the hook or maybe he's going to have a future grandson who's going to be a big that could get him off the hook Hashem makes calculations so moshu who's killing him with hashem's name he's pronouncing hashem's name it's a good thing if you could knock people off like that by the way you know you know how to do it you know those who know how to do it don't say but if mosenu you're going to pronounce God's name that means you're slipping into you understand you're slipping into Divine punishment mode oh Divine punishment mode requires making all the calculations therefore MOS he's a noide who's hitting a Jew it's not a life threat my thumbs are flying today it's not a life threat he's a no who's hitting a Jew it's not life-threatening otherwise he'd step in right away without any calculations it's not life-threatening but the noahide according to the rambam deserves to die he gets what's called divine death so MOS is going to use div Divine death over here but when you may do when you apply Divine death then you do make all sorts of prophetic calculations on the future the say that God takes all circumstances into account therefore mosha Raa looks into the future and mosa sees nothing good is going to come out of him anyway take him out that's what that's that's how the the brisker RV explains it beautiful explanation because the problem is a very big problem when you go to shabas this shabas ask that question at the shabas table you'll Baff people you know baffle people like like what was he was he a life threat or he wasn't a life threat it's a very very good it's a very good question okay now uh moshu the next day he goes out and here comes the trouble introduces the two biggest rats in the Torah right two Jewish men are fighting and Rashi said this is be this is what do you call it d and a who are going to be the thorn in Moser renu's side until when after K with korak the Earth is going to eventually swallow them up and they're going to disappear but the trouble starts over here and there's a Dustin and AUM in every Community why you you Wicked one why are you hitting your friend who's Wicked like you and this is what they one of the first lessons they taught us in day school to even pick up your hand to hit you don't even have to hit somebody to even pick up your hand to strike at that moment you're called to Russia to hit another Jew you're called to Russia from the moment you pick up your hand even if you haven't hit him yet depending on who it is depending on who it is but even if you haven't hit him you're already called a Russia the mus says why look at their reaction who made you in charge of us you going to kill me like you killed the Egyptian yesterday M understands the hint okay now I know okay word got out I I thought it didn't word got out word got out so it says they they snitched on him they ran in him out the want to execute MOS what the med says they brought him into the Executioner he chopped them on the neck with the sword the sword bounced back and killed the Executioner I hate when that happens right the S you know kabo Bo right it bounced off Moos escapes so mosha runs away and he goes to Mion he goes to the well he runs all the way to Mion and he goes in first place he goes to the well why do you go to the well why do you go to the well whoever went to the well before where' they go to the well for twice we find people going to the well for what a find a wife right because at the well you're bound to find somebody that's where you get the sh at the well that's where everybody hangs out at the well that's where you meet the sh at the well everybody eventually has got to get to the well because they all need water so M Rao I mean the F why does he go to the well he figures listen if I would have been killed I'd have no Offspring so if I would I would came close to death he had time to get married got to leave something you know I was just thinking you know M could be he was thinking if I could survive a sword on my neck I might be able to survive marriage too whatever the this is a joke but M you know go straight from there to go find a wife runs the medidan to find a wife okay so yro has seven daughters and they come out to water the the the they come out to water the flock and again now we going to see incident number two the Shepherds come and chase away the daughters yro had been ostracized by his community because he rejected the idol worship of midan so they ostracize him so his daughters come out to water to flock and the other Shepherds came and chased them away MOS now watch this pay attention very carefully to the terminology here gentlemen mosh gets up and he saves them and he Waters the Sheep now look at the change in look at the change in the uh gender first it says the Shepherds come VOR which is the male form with a me it's male which is feminine which is masculine so what goes masculine feminine masculine right the Shepherds vum which is the masculine form why is that masculine because they're treating these girls as if they're males by chasing them away the Shepherds come and treat them like a bunch of like a bunch of guys you just chase away from the water what does Moshe do Vos feminine because he realizes that they're the weak they're weaker and they need to be saved so that goes to the that goes to the feminine but Yash goes back to the masculine why it's teaching you that moshu he wasn't watering the flock because there a bunch of helpless females he was watering the Flop to impress the girls he was watering the flock because the flock needed to be watered so it goes back to the masculine if would have said as so none their sheep with in the feminine then it sounds like he's watering the flock because he wants to help the girls out with that you know maybe the girl you know no no no no it's so numb in the masculine because the Sheep the flock needs to be watered okay so they go home and Y says why did you come home so fast pay look at an Egyptian man saved us from the Shepherds and he watered the you thr he's got Seven Daughters what do you think a man with Seven Daughters is looking for right he's got seven daughters and say why what are you doing home Ser well there's a guy number one he's Brave and he's kind right he saved us from the Shepherds and he watered the flock so so what's y's reaction where is he why'd you leave him out there come in and have break bread with us and bread is a euphemism for a wife maybe he come in here and marry one of you guy comes up girl comes up Dad you know I there some guy he's really he's really sweet and he's rich and he's handsome you know and you know he he watered the sheep and yeah where is he girl what's with you you know get him in the house as fast as you can what happened to you all seven of you none of you are thinking okay MH was punished for this by the way he get a punishment for what they referred to him as an ish mitz and he didn't say anything and his punishment was not only he didn't enter Earth Israel but he's not even buried in Earth Israel why because the Egyptians are idolators and it would be some like saying I met this nice Catholic kid I'm no Catholic may I would object to be somebody refer you know you help somebody on the plane you let's say help a little old lady on the plane and she says her oh this nice Catholic man helped me take my bags down no no ma'am I'm not Catholic I'm not Catholic I would object I I would say something most should have said something because the Egyptians were Idol worshippers you somebody called you Egyptian why he didn't say I don't know but he gives him right he's given to is given to mosu as a wife so you have over here the first introduction of mosh raenu moshu is saved by Sav from the water she draws him out of where becomes a drawer marries with now okay skip down to per gimmel pagal and this is the first the first revelation that we're going to have okay peric peric gimmel peric gimmel Alf just one second where is it um where are we here here we go okay um Moshe is a shepherd and this is one of the ingredients necessary that's going to make him suitable to become a leader because if you have to deal with the sheep and in many ways that's easier than dealing with people and sheep don't talk back but M shows an inordinate kindness with the Sheep there's a medress you picked them up he wanted a sheep we pick them up brought to the water if you're kind to the Sheep right that's a sign of you know you're the shepherd we even talk about the leader is The Shepherd of the flock and where where do we find this qualification later on is a Shepherd he becomes the king a was a Shepherd it's like they were all Shepherds it's not an accident being a Shepherd means that you're learning how to deal with others and take care of them and that's what's needed to be a leader and you got to be extremely patient with people and you got to tolerate people and you can't just set that you got you got to you got to serve the people so mosu is a shepherd now we're going to have the episode with the bush so what happens over here an angel however this works exactly sees the angel and he sees the this SN how does how does he how does the art go translate the SN the P Bas he calls it the the bush he at the bush I'm in the bush in the bush in the bush is burning now watch this I will move over and see this incredible Vision why is the SN not burning now Rashi the Aro translates it I will turn aside now because Aur means mosh didn't say he should have said I will go I want you to listen to this carefully gentlemen M didn't said I will go he said I will move I will turn aside to see that means MH was walking this way and he sees a burning bush and he says I will turn aside to go see what's happening over there so I have a friend I mentioned before Rabbi goldberger in Baltimore that a remarkable Insight here sometimes in life you've determined your path in life and out of nowhere you're suddenly exposed to something you're completely unfamiliar with like a burning bush for many people it could be Torah religion Yiddish kite on my path I've got my path charted out in life and also I say whoa there's a whole world over here that I wasn't that I was never exposed to now you have to two choices you two choices you could either keep on walking and ignore it or you could do the responsible and honest thing so well let me see what that is about because this could be a serious change MH gets a shock over here he calls it he calls it he says this this amazing site you know whether you agree with it or don't agree with it whether you're going to do it or not but to be exposed to yish kite for the first time is an amazing sight for somebody walks into a shabas room tabas table family and for the first time that's an amazing site to go into May sharim the first time and see sit him wearing fur and what do you call it now whether whether whether you agree with it or not or understand or not it's still an amazing site now either I'm going to find out what this is about or I'm not going to find if I'm intellectually honest I will check this out and find out what it's about because this may me this may involve a serious change in my perceptions of reality so mosab is teaching us over here A Life Lesson and by the way this goes for everybody because I could I have mapped out my white my life religiously even my religious approach to life and sometimes I'll hear something I say you know what there's something else I could be doing a little better and more conscientiously no no that's you know they're mmir I don't know if they're mmir maybe they're on to something and there's a reason to do it that way and that indicates more God-fearing then by my way you got to be very very very Hest over I had a I I I knew a a distant relative of mine she was raised in California no chabas no pesak no young Kipper no nothing and eventually something happened one where came to Israel like a long story short she she ended up becoming from and she was getting married met a met a met a guy a from guy and the two of them getting married okay her family came in for the wedding and they were at the the guy had the wedding had a good time then they had the shabas chevas so the shabas chevas everybody's in the room and there were some FR for a f side of the family also they were all there they're sitting at the shab they started singing ziros you know the Men start singing ziros and as they're singing ziros she looks across the room there's her father and he's joining in with the ziros he clearly knew Theos so she realized that you know he had some exposure to Judaism obviously when he was younger and he buried it all away and never exp never get anything to her so she got up in the middle of the sh she ran over she started hollering at her father she said you knew about this all along and you never gave it to me you you deceived me you deprived me of what was mine I will never talk to you again right she was like now you're not allowed to do that she's wrong I I not judging her she was emotionally distraught you're not allowed to do that you know you're not allowed to you're allowed to what do you call it you have to even when you do if you resent your parents the worst you could do is not talk to them but you can't insult them certainly not in public but she was very very upset about that because you know she had to discover it on her own which she did fortunately she did but she was she was absolutely livid you know that her father had deprived her so moshu shows you what do you call

an essential point for us a person has to know sometimes I feel if I would have had different life circumstances and if I would have had a different chance and different opportunities you know I would be more religious and I'd be like that and I'd be stop stay right where you are who you are you are on hold soil you don't come here you don't need to be in Ben Brock you don't need to be in Lakewood you were born somewhere else raised somewhere a different way where you are is also holy soil because you're also representing God's God's what do you call you're also representing hem aod and where you are as holy saw with your life circumstances and your way of serving if I was born in benra today I'd be more religious than I would get into learning and I would do a you don't have to be in babok there are other places in the world like Chicago right other places in the world you don't have to be in Chicago to be a holy Jew you don't have to be a babra you don't have to be in Pittsburgh you don't have to be in South Africa you have to be who you are where you are with your life circumstances and then you're on holy soil so you don't have to come over here but you have to take your shoes off comes from the Hebrew word noel mean Al which is a lock shoes are the thing that's on us very firmly you tie your shoes on your shoes you're locked your shoes your shoes lock you right you're I'm locked you even talk about expression you said but I wouldn't want to be in his shoes now we're firmly in our shoes right what it means is take off those things that are locking you up and holding you back the things that the habits the life approaches the ideas you have which are holding you back you're locked in that's not allowing you to to go forward take take it off then step forward and realize you don't have to go too far forward you're on holy soil already but take off your shoes take off those things that are holding us back I'll tell you there was a you ever heard a story I told I must have told you a story these guys are um I heard the story took place in like one of the Muslim countries like Iran or something these guys are playing cards and they made a wager whoever loses has to go into a cemetery at night and knock three Nails into a coffin into a tombstone that was the BET okay the one of the guys loses so he goes to the cemetery it's pitch black at night goes into the cemetery he got these three Nails in his hands he's shaking like a leaf because it's a quiet Cemetery at night he's shaking like a leaf he goes into the cemeter and of course it's raining a little bit he goes into the cemetery grab runs up to the first Tombstone you know takes out the first nail nail nails it and takes out the second nail nails the third nail gets it there turns to run and boom somebody's grabbing him from behind somebody grabed in a cemetery guy has a heart attack and dies on the spot and upon investigation it turned out nobody grabbed him in his Panic he had nailed his own coat to the tombstone so as he ran away his own coat was holding him back sometimes in life you look around well it was my rabbis my parents they're holding every sometimes we're holding ourselves back sh take off the locks take off the the restraints right and let yourself go forward all right we'll talk more about this on Sunday
