Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: From the 42 Journeys towards the 42 Levite Cites

[Music] okay welcome everyone to be able to beit midrash we are parsha SMAW say and we are going to get down and really in the depths and the guts the kishkes of what the clear car has to tell us and these are lessons that you could use throughout your entire life we're gonna learn Hebrew right one of the greatest things we have is a Hebrew text on our my website you could find the link down below where you could pick up the Hebrew text if you so want to join us you have the ability to do though do so so in chapter 33 of numbers we are dealing with my essay okay so how does it begin these are the journeys of the children of Israel now you may not pick it up in the English but when I repeat it in the Hebrew we'll find a difference these are the journeys of the children of Israel who went forth from the land of Egypt according to their legions under the hand of Moses and I are on okay so actually eleemosynary a sure you got Samaritans rhyme with Sybil Tom beyod Moshe vir own okay so what do we see here that according to what Moses actually the feesh of Moshe are Mala Mala if we go to chapter 32 verse 13 it's 32 verse 13 so I think I made a mistake in the in the English source sheet okay so let me fix that now and hopefully the 32 it says like this that when when Moshe was revealing to B'nai Israel specifically the day that the children of God and the children of ruling meaning the tribes of God andrew vain he mentions do you know what and this is what if you ask any Jew right secular Jew I should say maybe even anybody in the world maybe anybody would know this right they said oh yeah the Jews wandered for 40 years in the desert aimlessly right but when you'd learn this in-depth you'll realize there was no nothing aimless there were 42 very specific places that we journey to that we camped in that we set off the journey again and we can somewhere else over those 40 to the 40 years 42 different places so if you go ahead and look at the verse in numbers 32 verse 13 it clearly says the anger of the Lord flared against Israel he made them wander in the desert for forty years of course until the entire generation had done even the eyes of the Lord had died out the you cough Hashem B Israel right God had this anger against Israel the you name the you name Bamidbar from Nenana right the shaking of the lulav right the word was wandering or shaking or just wandering aimlessly here what does it say that we wandered in the desert or by shauna okay until the until the generation had died out look at Rashi says he made them wander you took the lame mean of a nod that means he moved them about from place to place as a wanderer okay so that verse was the same the same word na is used by Kaman in terms of K navel he was a wanderer it became a wanderer okay so the clear carve mentions this for a reason because based on that verse if all you had was that verse you would come to the wrong conclusion South kadai takamina you would have come to the wrong conclusion char you not even know him cash okay piroshki bell now those last three words are a little bit difficult to translate so this verse you could find in proverbs 23 34 we're just those last three words boishakh say Borowski bel is implying either dizziness or rocking back and forth with no clear direction because the words are talking about one who is in the midst of the sea and lying like at the top of the mast so you have this boat and you have these holes and the guy sets himself up like a bed or a hammock in the top of the mast and the boat is just rocking back and forth in the water so what do you get you get seasick you get dizzy you're just running around in circles and so that's what it would feel like so that is an example he's just saying you might have thought from the verse we just read in chapter 32 verse 13 that the Jews the Israelites just wandered aimlessly in the desert for 40 years but you couldn't be more wrong he says lo Shaka - Valon aku color of mine China right you would have thought there was no breast and there was no quiet for that whole 40 years that's exactly why our partial begins by telling us these are the journeys these are real and you know what some deep Kabbalistic understanding on the forty-two journeys each one of us in our own lives so why does it tell us la ma say a llama say why to teach you the level of Hashem I'm Shawn Elohim iam team member to note you know what during these 40 years we made these specific travels we were these 42 travels we were not just wandering and endlessly or aimlessly pizzetta you shamash and mr now we understand exactly why it says these are the traveling's and it doesn't say these are the encampments in which they encamped long or a vahana yo - aha new direction mr throughout the chapter first chapter you're going to notice they traveled and they can't they traveled and they camped over and over and over again we're gonna notice this one place where it doesn't say that we're going to talk about it keep that in mind le cheval off Irish mime are the whole reason that's coming to tell us this is actually to answer that very question that people think and people have a misunderstanding that the Jews wandered aimlessly you know when I first became religious and I was told what do you think we did for 40 years we learned Torah we learned about life the tree of life the revelation and it wasn't just wasting time wandering aimlessly without a GPS or without a map there was taxes there was the highest level of learning and understanding that one could ever ever imagine here to new high no Hamas oath so this whole idea of movement within the desert were actual journeys the timeless see per coulomb Athos and guess what there's a reason the reason that it's explained its told over each one individually each of the different travels you know Rashi says is an amazing Rashi and we think about it like this do I have it here in the beginning first page why were these journeys recorded llama Nick - whoo ha ha ha ha Massa Oh Telugu Modi has - Sean McComb to teach you about the kindness now I want to tell you something we're gonna find out a little bit of math it's on the math right Daniel in the first year alone we had 14 destinations we traveled and incant 14 places the last year was 8 so if you take a simple number right we're there 40 years but then we're talking about the 42 travels - the 14 and - the 8 you're left with 26 I'm sorry you left with 28 I want to see who's paying attention nobody you spoke up so you're left with 28 now because we've said there were 40 years so if you take away the first year and the last year that means in the middle 38 years we traveled 20 times okay we were not travelling aimlessly we weren't constantly on our feet okay this is very important mathematics and that's what Rashi says the gods kindness okay this is what we're talking about here why it's explaining about each one of these places don't think we wandered aimlessly we don't have a God right who was it that said I can't remember exactly but you have an atheist and you have a very smart with you know how I'm not like myself that someone who knows how to answer very well and you can say to the atheist you know the same God you don't believe that I don't believe in either who would believe in such a god that's gonna run you around in circles for 40 years that wasn't what was happening at the end of this paragraph he mentions that the the Rambam and the barber now gives several other reasons and he's not going to go at length into them what we are about to start is a very interesting idea which I thought I was actually beginning to explain earlier verse two says Moses wrote the what's interesting depends which book you're translating this from Motz all of us eh-hem are PHN in Moses wrote from their going out if that's an English word towards their journeys according to the Word of God how do we translate it here this is interesting this is how Habad Moses recorded their starting points for their journeys according to the Word of God and these were the journeys with their starting points what I want you to focus is that it's not symmetrical you start off by saying mote saw a hem from their going out which is the starting point towards their journeys lomasa a hem and at the end of that verse it says these are the Masai hem these are their journeys towards their going out why you bothered first of all says Hashem in the first phrase it doesn't say I'll be a sham in the second phrase so with that being said the clear card mentions right away we just had our verse verse to write the beginning part the your table motion mostly a ham a mouse a ham of Hashem yah-ha-ha-ha-ha seder and afterwards the Seder is reversed the low name Marlowe apparition the second part where it's talking about from their journeys towards their starting points it doesn't say RPS yet so he wants to clear car wants to explain in three very different ways so keep track they may even contradict each other they they don't necessarily contradict each other but they don't all fit comfortably with each other so there's three different levels of understanding the first hockadoo should we mix us ma sota fool the funny out of the 42 journeys will see the majority of them but he uses the words part of them we're in the forward direction we were always moving forward to where we're what's our destination ultimately Israel ok the Land of Israel were sitting in now it's awesome na 0 a whereas some of them will find out a minority amount but it doesn't matter at this point some of them they were returning backwards ki Mithila so he gives a few examples in Exodus 14 verse 2 the issue vil viajando lift napier heroes so god himself right he wanted them to return so we have to find out what it means i'll be a chef because he's saying I'll Pia Shem is where they're going in the forward direction and and not obvious I'm gonna go in the back back in a backwards direction so here they're going in a backwards direction and Scott himself saying so we have to run explain that Rashi there on the verse says Shakalaka a hamlet Sodom it's Ryan they actually traveled in the backwards direction back in the direction of Egypt so to you could find the Deuteronomy chapter 2 verse 1 the Nathan vinnesa Hamid Bora they actually turned and traveled in the direction of the desert and Rashi says the feast shall kill Kalu after a time it bar because they sin because they ruined them so they had to fix something they turned back in the direction of the mid bar of the desert so two also Deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 6 with arrows been a yoke on most a rock so this version they went from a place called the wells of B'nai Yaka and they went in the direction I'm sorry it says they went from mo sera alright I'm sorry dad they went towards mo Sara so they were mostly robbed before Chikara shmona masala Quran we see there that they traveled in eight-eight travels in a backward direction as I mentioned earlier in the first year they went 14 directions right 14 different stops in the first year and the last year they went eight and those eight were backwards what comes out from all this should roll Hamas note that a majority of vast majority we're actually in the forward direction I sure Huckabee have the funding Valu Lockhart great well you are Pierre ship those according to the creek are are rpm now don't get it wrong going even backwards might be out there Shem meaning by God's direction but it's not up here Shem when I get finished explaining what operation means so we saying that I'll be a sham it's that's what we're referring to is going out from the starting point towards the destination towards the journey you have to Pan Am in a mock on my show y'all sorry Sean because they're turning their heads away from the place they came from right when you're walking in this direction to get to a certain place the back of your head is the back of your head is facing where you left the front of your face is in the direction you hope to to reach Shaniqua remote saw a hem so that's going to be called the place you left from PAML - am i show you lift man and their faces are going to be in the direction of the journey in which they're heading of emotion nazo Ruach or by were shackled with hate this is what it means low efficient ready but when we refer to what they did in terms of going backwards or returning to a place they originally were that was because of they ruined they think it became soiled and said they did they mess something up and it needed to be fixed so low high rpm it's the sin that was not up here chef right if someone's sitting that's not what God wants to fix it of course that's what he wants see him he gave directions my same remotes I am so from their journeys towards their starting points chicago van nasi lemak home she also mention that they're going to return they're returning and they're travelling to the place they left from that's going to be called moto a hab from their starting point kiha flippin am with sadhna trying for they turn their faces towards Egypt okay so far so good that's the first explanation and we'll say that we're talking about ultimately because of sin that's the difference between the first statement and the second state a parishes Shanee who the second explanation Kushina doc take when you really carefully examine everything it says in verse 3 the ye su-mei Rameses verse 3 says right they left they traveled from a place called Rameses blow his cover name Israel in that verse and it doesn't say was the children of Israel the journey but when you look at verse 5 octa Hazama shame ease the story seems to be repeated but guess what the words been a shroud the Jewish people the children of Israel are included the ye slew vinay it's realm a Rameses like what's going on here there's like cut and paste and like adding different things for no reason every letter every word is there for a reason so in verse 5 all of a sudden it's the Jewish people that traveled from Rameses now another interesting observation and that is in verse 3 also says 'my maha-rathah Pesa yotsuba nay Israel now I'm gonna ask you when did we leave Egypt I am yang : when did we lead you by night or the next day so here this verse seems to imply what you said maharat from the following day after passover meaning after the korban Pesach which is the the morning of the 16th the morning of the 15th yotsuba nasara the children of Israel left luma Hamas hair however in Deuteronomy chapter 16 verse 1 what does it say it says Hosea haami mitzraim lillah once that we have a steer I am it says God brought you out from Egypt at night huh make us inside of the day I don't know what you mean what does the Jewish day start and then it says maharat the Pesa and only that it actually says with the yah drama but we'll get to that so you're saying there's no contradiction there's no there's no question there's nothing to discuss so he's going to tell us the answer with absolute certainty elevado it's the era of raava kuba lillah Derek Marika who left at night it was the heir of Rob that went out in a way of fleeing of running well Liam nem are if you go back to Gen 2 exodus chapter 14 verse 5 now I understand this is like three days four days into us already leaving and it's past it's past tense focus on the fact that it's past tense is when you got the mountains Ryan keep Bora ha right then Pharaoh servants told him that the people had fled now you're talking about the fact that if you look at it carefully you're talking about the fact they had already left three or four days before but they weren't coming back at this plane but it's interesting the way he explains it says Barea no-name are fleeing it doesn't say it says had fled Bora should cover Barney on Pizza going back to the original night they fled at night if you want to flee if you're in a situation where you need to like covertly vertically you know you're like scared animals right so you're gonna you're gonna run the long get stock how you saw this cannot be justified to be speaking about the Jewish people share a house could be a drama because it says they went high-handedness with which is I don't know exactly what that means God Rama but we know when you're standing up tall and you're proud and you're not running right you're walking out of this prison that we were in proudly knowing that a Shem was with them okay so was a yeah drama which is going to happen in the daytime the Jewish people left in the daytime aim to we're gonna see in the eyes of all the Egyptians while they're burying their dead okay we're gonna see what happened it was definitely during the day not only that elevado I shall arrive who got love it was definitely speaking about the era of lie because the word armed the people is a consistent code word for the inferior ones for the erev rav for the mixed multitude i will you so half will be young be a drama but it was israel who walked out of Egypt with I don't you called High Noon whatever you want to call it the Sun was shining it wasn't they weren't trying to escape at first dawn either okay as the word say back in the verse three one says the Venetian a robbed days before the Shamy shown in the first month the erev rav Houma da there it's definitely talking about the air of wrath and only afterwards when it says my maharat the following day after the pace off yotsuba name shall be a drama that's talking about the Jewish people the Sudanese army Ramses it's for sure talk about the Jewish people leaving Ramses II era of how who tequila can mean honey Berkey the what the Arab ran out of there like they were fleeing and you know what unfortunately they do take the initiative a lot and we in the following now in this case it wasn't a bad thing but sometimes or many times when they take the initiative it's not always for a good thing if we would have run after them that would have been bad but we knew we didn't have to but unfortunately do fall and have fallen hopefully we won't fall again for the shenanigans of the mixed multitudes the nature half Loughran but Israel did follow them in this case and that's what it means in our verse the yet to moshe s moto am the mouse a map here shell that moses wrote the goings from the going out towards the towards the journey according to the word of gods and this sea ebony shroud this traveling was the Jewish people I assure you sewed them this is very important their essence their principle being your soul thought foundation comes from the land of Israel from the Holy Land mayera second ocean unbelievable so it's like a magnet it wants to get back to where it started from it's going in that direction because that's where our source is from and that's what we want to get to I can half the Tommy today admit I'm not saying I am that's why our faces were always torn away from where we left Ramallah Michelle yotsuba Shamim it's Ryan our faces are turned away from where we're leaving from which was Egypt Mohammed Pan Am the mas a.m. and the movements of our faces towards the journey love o el hard session is wash em Laveau Tom and it's going to be in the direction of the the Holy Land in which Hashem promised our forefathers of Allah erev rav but when it came to the mixed multitude she McLaren me miss Ryan the source to them their guts their essence is from Egypt well y'all sooo appear Shem and by the way they never left Egypt according to the word of a chef Moses and his men would be blessed on his own made a decision to take them out of Egypt okay and God agreed but it was Moses the initiative and decision the law utopia Shem they did not leave according to the direction or command of God commotion me dot o Hotz iam it was Moses own decision to bring them out and regarding them that's the second part of our first verse the a Lamar Salem oops I am these are their journeys from that to their starting points because they're always thinking about Egypt and going back to the complainers in the desert let us appoint a leader that's going to bring us back to Egypt we remember the free fish we remember the garlic and they on the watermelons and the kiss you eat yeah katomina y'all ahem Chaffetz vibrato no Shubham its rhyming Makura they were constantly and continuously having this desire and will to return to Egypt which is their source that's where they came from now this is an interesting statement in our man who's rock Kouta levira Kira Klay whenever you throw a stick up in the air it's bound to come down right it has to come back to its source the ground so basically it's saying well you know everything's going to end up back in its source so the Jew the israelite must come back to Israel it will happen the non-jews they're going to go back to their countries I want to tell you a secret about the return of the twelve to the missing ten tribes it's a very big secret and I think it's happening now with the emigration that's going on all over the world I know they have big problems in America immigration the gomorrha concludes according to one opinion that when all the other nations returned to their boundaries when they you know we see a big mix-up populations when they go back we'll know that we have returned and I see huge movements migrants being moved all over the world maybe they say it's climate change maybe it's clothes of despots and and horrible horrible leadership and not taking care of their people but people are dying in the deserts and they're the leaving the Sahara they're leaving these these horrible places and they're moving to Western countries and it doesn't matter what color skin you are right because there's a lot of intermarriage through the thousands of years but the fact that there's migrations going on and people are moving all over there's no doubt in my mind that the Jews are also coming home and will know it I think the the conclusion will be yes we've returned when they've all returned so whatever has to happen will happen I'm not for or against illegal immigration obviously that's an American issue but just keep in mind we're all coming home what's the song Daniel come in come I'm coming I'm okay I hope I don't get sued for I don't think that's called singing yeah no problem okay so now we went through the we didn't finish the second one oh yes the last point he makes cahaya Tom NEPA named the mahkumat ayaat to me Shawn just to reiterate that the the the air of Roth who are Egyptians they were constantly putting their face in the direction from which they had come okay so we'll call number two the air of Roth that's how he explains the different languages in the beginning in the second and the end of the verse okay parish Lea she who the third way to explain it is and I'll call this again this is a billet because of sin but in a different way she will call it eagle's wings she Emily look hot - yes rail if the Jewish people had never sinned you know I'm gonna see Akash Lara's we would have ended up not with 14 not with 42 but with pretty much one single journey out of Egypt straight into the land of Israel and that's what it means via table Moshe estimates I am the Messiah Moses wrote there from their starting points towards their going out key minute series Shana loyal ahem odd yet seemingly Malcolm Chania because the truth is when you when they first left there really wasn't any further you know up rooting themselves to go to another place in which they addressed it hirato Shamli so some are constantly sharing because the truth was that god's greatest desire is only good for the jewish people he wanted to carry us immediately as oh if on eagle's wings not as if look at Exodus chapter 19 verse 2 verse 4 okay God wanted this is exactly what God wanted to do and in a certain sense he did he started the journey how else would we have come that far in the first few days but basically would have entered the laurits me odd we would have come into the land immediately i initial : hoorah click tov but because of the sin because of the ruination that took place that's why it needed to right at the end first-first we're talking about a Lamaze same level so I am that these are from their journeys towards their going out the restarting point meaning should not sue El Mocambo should suffer lobster the face of a shop that they traveled towards places that in the end they had to travel back we had to travel backwards lobo - telling me masala masa and we ended up moving about from one journey to another love or loyalty a sham that obviously was not efficient meaning because we sinned kilo javi - sham Baillieu Hashem only desire to bring us on eagle's wings to the land of Israel yeah it was you're right no there was some claim there was some complaining it's a good question I thought about it myself I don't have an answer yet but I thought if you were asked like this that God's desire was to bring us as easily and as quickly as possible in general in general and I think that's just a way to explain it that don't get tied up with the details I mean we love to we need to but that's I think that's what he's trying to say that we did end up 39 years in the desert because it's in the same year okay a year first year I have a year three months whatever was that deal Egypt was only to get the time to get the Torah and live it in air travel for sure for sure Diana it's not a good break he's saying in the big book no no complaints no nothing everything we soon find that God had other plans now what you wanted to bring us in the Land of Israel without the tour there's no point right so you first have to give to yourself out of the slavery and into getting some overtime what's your turn to go straight to zone listen a lot of people quote Moses says let my people go but they never finished the rest of the sense you know they should serve me okay the tour is the manual the mud reef right the guide but the instruction manual but we all know that a good hunk I mean that huge percentage can only be done in the Land of Israel with the temple so the goal was to bring us here that's the goal and whenever the first fourteen journeys of the first 50 days of the first however many times when we were only talking about 90 days in we sit him to go and cap okay so had that not have happened and had we not sinned with the spies and right we would have been in Israel eleven days journey as they say but God wanted to bring us on eagle's wings that was his desire he already did to a certain extent in some of the first few journeys immediately when we left each it okay and that's clear I'll just repeat the verse look in Exodus chapter 19 verse 4 okay so now we're going to go on to verse 4 boom it's Ryan McKay Bream of the hula what does that mean the gypsies were burning their lead those among them when Hashem had struck every firstborn and on on them got on their gods Hashem had inflicted punishments so this is an amazing verse we're gonna see really good insight okay so if she yüksel a nicole mitts ryan that when the Jews left Egypt they led they left in front of the eyes of all the Egyptians the shot show you cleave him ace I share Heka Hashem the hem you know why the Egyptians were all out on the streets burying their dead at the time that the Egyptians were bearing the dead with Hashem a flint flicked it a you seen a hem Cahills and while we were walking past and burying their dead can you imagine they couldn't say a word they couldn't utter not just a curse a de flama Torre comment they couldn't derogatory comment they couldn't curse us they couldn't say anything get bad Jim created a miracle and their teeth were frozen below Oh not only that LS she gum the a low hey ham also shemp's fat team the auto shop hashem wiped out all of their idols well I say oh we're gonna see there was one left behind on purpose and we're gonna see why hang in there what did the sham do he created a judgement and he inflicted judgment on their idols at that time alpha P came low Maharaja had mayhem leshan old Israel even though there was not one destructive or damaging act against the Jewish people even verbally let alone physically well masha amar now it says I share he cosh Abraham Cobra okay now this is a very interesting statement we're gonna make let's find the exact place so we're at number eight on this source sheet numbers 33 verses three through five so the Egyptians were buried was we're busy burying because the Lord had struck down their first point now we're gonna find out that it was the firstborn that did most of the killing you'll see that the verse yet the wak'd who were finished listen to this I share Hashem the hem Co before which is Shem afflicted in them all the first one so some say should kanata measures now this is the verse look in Psalms 136 verse 10 13 to him who smote the Egyptians ready with their firstborn and when you're looking at that verse with new eyes it's to God then we owe a lot who smote the Egyptians how with their first points look at me Hebrews LaMotte came it's Ryan big core a hem how else would you read it right he smacked up he really afflicted inflicted on the Egyptians through their firstborn now we all know the great affliction that came to them was the death of their firstborn so maybe Pasha shot would be the fact that God hid and smote the firstborn that was a great affliction to the Egyptian nation no question about it that's true but you know what the measures will tell us that the firstborn were quite upset that their own parents didn't stick up to Pharaoh and say let them go I really mean it like look the disasters coming on us right and now that the firstborn are dying all over the place they're gonna take their anger out on their own parents because they should have known better you don't love me you didn't even stand up for me shall you have according hard game a vote on the clear said clear car says that the first point killed their own parents peacock Marsh ma that's exactly what it means bill Corr a hem in or through their firstborn that's how Egypt was afflicted through their firstborn aim hubba Kareem Aetna trying it's with and through the first point that Egypt was afflicted a blurry my you shave it Apple ooh ma te amo it's exactly like we talked about a lot but um but the master and dog and the stake right so God is the master right we let's say we're the dog and the master has a stake and he hits us with the stick and what do we do as a dog we bite the stick if we were smart we'd look at our master and say what do you want for me I'll do whatever you say right instead we playing around the stick thinking it's the stick that's hitting us so - with our enemies sometimes this is God's Way of taking a shave and a stick he uses Assyria right throughout and the ten tribes right whatever comes to us we to realize this is Hashem let's say anger yes but it's excessive and his way of trying to get us to go back on the right path so sometimes it happens that that evil people God uses them as a shave it to take his anger out on his loved ones and that's why the he got shamba hem Kobuk hashem afflicted all of the firstborn who deep took McCone this is the correct way to understand it as we just did now it also mentions open a bouncer phone this was the idol that read the god allowed to remain standing and the bouts of phone is meaning the owner of the north right the master of the north high rocky rocky avodah Zarah Zuni Shara the passage is telling us the verses occasionally showing us that was the only Idol that remains standing God wiped out all of the idols of Egypt this one remained kadai lahat o son in order to but cuz then even greater mistakes God occlusive God do he allows you to go in the direction you want to go okay you want to be evil God will give you all the resources you want to be righteous believe it unless they believe you me I'll give you all the resources okay so basically believe you in the weight the direction you want to go I want to tell you about these people I'm gonna make a big mistake and it's to our benefit and to their detriment so when God says go ask your neighbor for gold go ask your neighbors the women asks the females the man asks the male's what we lived in the big city and you know what we got from my neighbors but what about how big Egypt is so our Egyptian is living all over the countryside we never asked them so we left behind a majority of the goal so what does God he has a better plan than any of us could ever think of so he left this one Idol standing which will see represents gold okay so they thought oh the god of gold will answer us let's pack up all our gold all over the country put it on these horses and the chariots because that's like how they serve their god of gold by adorning and I kind of made a joke this week already and I don't mean to say anything negative about any particular people but sometimes there are certain people that hang beads and rugs and interesting things from their cars it's like a golden calf right it's like nobody's going to mess with do this so basically by putting the gold and all their jewelry diamonds who knows what else on their horses and chariots they thought that was gonna protect them and what ended up happening was when they all went into the sea Mel drowned all that gold came up on our side they were dead and we got the and you know what kind of Hansen that Hashem also gave because during that week we were travelling around we would have had to carry all that forget about going and asking through the through the countryside but just the very fact that Hashem gave it to us like let's on the silver platter so to speak okay on the edge of the sea shore the tensed we didn't have to carry it around for a whole week okay so if you go to job chapter 37 verse 22 a Lezama she meets a phone Yetta the golden sunshine has come because of the north wind so that's how to translate it which sounds I have yet and there's other places we talked about Eva comes from the north so this is told that the desires Yetta is they a plethora of desires okay so where am I [Music] yeah Leo show show Sheila cockney sharra this is saying this is exactly why I was left behind bish field mimouna shall muck who shloka din because the jewish people were slaves for 8090 years hard labour we were in Egypt over two hundred years two hundred ten years to be exact and whatever money that they acquired on our on the bath of our hard labor it wasn't theirs anyway okay so they lost that and he explains that partials mashaallah now if we go a little bit further the verse tells us the use of mammarra of the yago a Lima now what it does not mention is that we parked that we set up camp in a place called Elaine some questions why they traveled from Mara and they arrived and they came to a place called alien what is going on here that it doesn't mention out of all the 42 stops about camping or setting up camp it doesn't mention that the Fisher Hamas XR mammarra layali the first thing that he makes is it was a very short travel so you figure we're not really gonna set up camp because who knows if we're gonna be traveling more why set up the tent well yeah but that time I saw Sean Kenya so because it was such a short a traveling time they did not have in mind that they were going to set up their camp ah however Leticia Matsu shaman a master a Maya knows my aim you know what they thin that down there twelve wells of delicious water amid yaha seemed our stamens fresh bottom and this is going to relate to or parallel the fact that the Jewish people have 12 12 tribes you could find this in the metric I share me mark or yes RAL Yosh Kula Cola ADA now the 12 tribes we're talking about these 12 these 12 wells that all the Jewish people are able to not sucked dry but able to plena SH replenish their and hydrate themselves into the entire congregation this evening tamari and what about the 70 palm trees media Hasim the shillings caning you know that the elders there were 70 elders so this relates to parallels the seventy elders as we see in Psalms 92 verse 13 Piazza de Katamari Ifrah right as its sonic is like a blossoming palm tree okay nom rule that's why it says same mother mil see he this is a clear sign shiatsu Shaam honey ah now they understood even though they didn't plan to encamped there it was a very short visit but based on these twelve wells and the seventy palm trees they realized this is how the skin Oasis this is worthwhile staying they just realized Hashem had in mind for them he gums shame huh Macomb Moira I miss Martha ready for this the name itself hints to what we just described we said that there were twelve wells and seven the palm trees so what's the gamma tree of a la Aileen I love you that's eleven and Allah made men so that is seventy I'm sorry so it's 81 plus the word itself that comes out to 82 so you can always be one off or you can count the word so that comes out to 82 EEMA Mila the heininger you'd been receiving which is exactly what twelve and seventy so - the word Aileen is actually hinting about something else it's Mara miss panache in Kentucky it means like the strong ones these Nobles these princes so the word alien is reflecting of the number regarding very strong people human LaShawn if you go to Ezekiel chapter 17 verse 13 the @l a harlot luka regarding the nobles of the land were taken because they love code the seminar so shame shame Hanyu they all took this as a sign this was a place to park their bones and have a rest okay now we're on divert we're gonna skip all the way to verse 49 and this is where it gets very very interesting the Econo al hardan so they parked they camped by the George River between one place and another between base I guess a moat until our bail Hashi team so these are the two players were going to discuss so they parked themselves they encamped next to the jordan river which was between these two places is where they were outside a ram is eh to flourish she Lacock he is krishna cats are both a loo the reason that the torah explains these two borders these two extreme places within camera was between the theshia parshas room at the birth of mimesis era because our parsha is talking about Aaron's death it mentions Arne's death what is it about our death now I want to give you a little bit of preliminary groundwork here what are you going to do is discuss the gomorian Rosh Hashanah that describes what the death of a righteous person is like and then he's going to discuss in a Madras what the death of a person is like or let's say even better he's going to talk about he's gonna make two comparisons comparing the death of its addict to the destruction or the myth the fact that the temple is missing okay so let's stick to the words that he gives us what we read so far was these two places are going to be somehow represented and discussing Aaron's death so the good morning rush Shauna says she Kula keep in mind Kula means it was equal in weight equal in severity it's just as harsh the me SOT had to decay when a righteous person dies Kesava cancer a fight debated okay no it says if it's just as difficult it's equal to the burning of the entire temple of God okay as if God's home has been destroyed that's when they when a righteous person thighs that's what it's like now the dubbers a H bar m esbit kills a partial and how do we see this hinted out the very beginning of the verse in the parsha it says over there the amat some fish not obey him that it was in the 40th year Aaron died when the Hodesh hamesha the ekkada kodesh in the fifth month on the first day of the month which by the way is today today is Rosh Chodesh of this is Aaron's yard site our Nicole today who college option bonus Roth basal okay no so in the month of art we all know the ninth about falls out obviously and that's when they said O'Kane in the house of God was burnt Lulla Lulla theodoros means monomer ah glean and it was established at night a day of crying for all generations up until this one hopefully because from the time of the spies Kidane Lahore Ashish Naima Lucia cooling and all this remember this is all according to what the Gemara this was in order to teach you that these two things are equivalent the death of a righteous person and the burning of the temple they both occurred in the same month alkane is Nam Luba Kodesh Eckhart you know what happened the same month the Sahara moves but base Hayashi moat and this is hinted when we said originally in our verse they can't by the Jordan between base high mode so the word as she mode is based on the word Shu mama mama is a language of desolation and destruction so we're talking about it really both of course it's talking about the Corbin of bike course is talking about the destruction of the house of God but we're also mentioning that it's equal when a righteous person dies that it's just it's equal to the same now what about the other place it's called bail how she team so she team he says Russian Arras okay so we have now comparison to a cedar tree something very strong rebels mosh this a blue bow Alice addiction in shallow the she throws but areas this is called hinting about to the time of morning where you would mourn in it in this time for a righteous person who is compared the righteous person is going to be compared to either cedar really strong wood acacia wood mine is Dom no Schnee a.m. the poon doc I thought they both happened that like in public or in the same area he was naked Sabo Salem Irish Cooley maimie so the connection between these two places that we just described is teaching you that they're equal meaning what's equal the death of righteous to the burning of the temple kylo haka how ketsu Akkad hi mr Gish abeja Shipton meaning that one extreme one you know locate location extremity was basically you your feel or your empathetic towards a mourner and we're talking about the place the actual place itself meaning of a loose on nefesh cathodic the morning of the sheathing the morning of the righteous person that's exactly what the words mean the cuts a Shamy where's the extreme the other lagea graphical place we said as she moat that is talking about the pain of the sh mama of the lack of the house so it's very interesting this all falls out during the three weeks but he wants us to know that ada to you bill Coty shia in the Meldrick on Isaiah now this is going to contradict everything we've pretty much read up until this point even though it's gonna sound like the same words okay and Isaiah 29 verse 14 God says I will continue to obscure add obscurity upon obscurity let me find it because we have to we have to discuss this okay so this is the translation from Chabad well though I think it's a very interesting let's just read the Rashi because it'll help us understand then when it says therefore I will continue to perform obscurity to this people obscurity upon obscurity the word tella it's really meaning wonderment it's something concealed really and the wisdom of the wise men shall be lost we're talking about the death of a righteous person and the understanding of the geniuses shall be hidden you can see we're discussing here in chapter 29 14 the death of a righteous person but let's talk about here as it's talking about the temple so look at Rashi therefore I will continue I am he will continue to perform additional obscurity upon obscurity concealment upon concealment sealing upon sealing and what is this obscurity Pun obscurity and the wisdom of the wise men should be lost means you lost a wise person the taking where the sages of Israel is twice as hard as destruction of the temple and all the curses in Deuteronomy is that incredible do you understand we're saying here when a righteous person dies it's more harsh than the destruction of the temple and all the 98 curses for all of them are only one obscurity but when God takes away the righteous person it secure its obscurity upon obscurity upon obscurity and the Lord show them it says in Deuteronomy 28 59 and the Lord shall make your plagues obscure that's the word is law okay so we know what the word means so this is very heavy so we have I'm going to show you the contradiction we're about to go into now so this is the measure she says God all see Luka shelter deacon greater greater not equal we saw the Gomorrah Russian s as equal when the Sadiq dies it's like the base of mikdash has been burnt here it says greater is the removal and that's going to be a key word also see Luke on the removal of the righteous person and then he says poetically lift knee lifts name me Sharma by Allah in front of the one who spoke and the world came into being yo to meet Silas had closed worse it's more difficult when the Sadiq dies then the ninety acres issue permission to turn in Deuteronomy will be whom a horrible by beta Mick - and even worse right it's worse that exotic dies then all the curses and the destruction of the temple altogether so these words are famous cash in Haddad II we have a contradiction and if we have a contradiction we're not leaving until it's resolved ok we're gonna figure this out so cuz I'll say in the game or Rosh Hashanah cooling its equal when atomic dies it's just as bad as when the base of Mick - was burnt but here in our meddra sh it says god o sir Lucan that it's actually worse when it sonic dies it's harsher so he tells us in his famous words ha bait you mean or a glance to the right and look keep the Midrash says Colossians he look on in the measure should says remove see Luca needs to remove when the sadhaks removed and in the Gomorrah and Russia Charlotte says by the death we're gonna find out there's gonna be a difference between removing its avec and the death of its I think maybe I'll tell you now one's gonna talk about the neshamah the soul and the other one's gonna talk about the body the majors history Russian now in the major said horrible that the death is greater than a bond means the destruction but the gomorrah says the death was equal to the burning of the basin dick - now I know this sounds very techy own but these details must be worked out so he says who Bayer the calls that he's going to explain everything to us just a little bit of patience kill us on the exact language which was used korban date hammock - which is in the measures motels Mancha claiming her bias may May 18 valve on a mission I am there's gonna be a difference between a destruction and a burning so this will be a difference so when it's only a bond it's only a destruction that means that the wood and the stone is still there burnt means that it's not so there's gonna be a difference in quality so the Corbin base in mikdash - monster climber abayas Mason love unevenly shark ayah but when it's action occur 8th the way it's destroyed can y'all see me medical Hodari waha do when the base of Mick Dodge is destroyed even though physically there are certain aspects of it existing right sticks and stones nevertheless there is no longer any of the glory and the beauty the Highness alumina biased poll at the volume Haru Hana MSHA Evo what has been removed from that the house were all the things like spirituality or the spirit had been removed from there evolution but we talk about the language of sree thought the actual burning of the temple so that's even difficult that's even more harsh he knows if I'll see blue kuru honey good because this is more than just a remove of the spirit with sham Gama flame Raven is Roth from there that that's not just the removal but you're also talking about the the actual physical structure has been burnt Comeau came but tsadikim so to buy the righteous cash emasculation mesa when you use the language of death by the righteous its madaba can negative Homer you're only talking about the physical body he gooth mate it's fine the body is no longer with us I wanna Shama aina Mesa the soul never dies ki kya he it's a live of a Russian see look a removal that chicon the Shama that means we're talking about the soul has been removed below our goof we're not referring to the physical he he live a Delilah it's only the soul that went up as it says in Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 21 Rahman a homologue Elam allah the spirit of man is that which ascends on high okay so now the he named me socity came when we're talking about the death of the righteous meaning governor hereby claim raghu fought Sadiq that's only talking about the physical part Vlad died of Rajesh a cool then we can say with absolute certainty that that's going to be equal as the burning of the temple that the Chimera shall base on Nick - we're only talking about the physicality of the base of mech - but if we talk about removal silicon of the reach of the righteous - hi new Ruach then they are the mistake oh la la mala then we're talking about the spirit of the person that is being removed and going up above the resemble Vyacheslav Horgan Basel okay no this is relating to the words of the destruction of the house of God meaning it Sarah honey admission that the spirit has been removed from their with mush emerges at Gotham is that and that's why it's more disastrous it's more it's worse it's harder Loesch is a god of the mahute we're not even talking about quality Ellison Shahen Ezek mcgill leo lon ready for this the tremendous horrible peroneus or destruction or damage that comes to the world by the removal of the holy sadhaks soul shoe God Oh VIN huh nesic that's going to be greater that that's more damaging than the damage that's caused through the removal at the spirit from God's holy abode now this is a very this really raises the potential for human through humankind on such a high level at sadiq whoa and you realize what we're talking about you have the house of God where God's presence is and yet the removal of this righteous person is worse for the world right the fact he's removed then the destruction then the burning of the temple itself th Ladakh take if you look carefully marsha and says lifts made me sure all mark remember the measure said in front of the one who spoke and the world came into being why didn't they just say the finish Markku the Holy One blessed be he why did you say forgot why have to say before the one who spoke and the world came into being there's a reason Shambhala tamed Tom llamas at Gotham is that it's actually coming to tell us why it's such it's much worse it's greater meaning it's worse the vision is Miroku I'm a royal um since God spoke the world came into being the chaffetz of the Yocto the key you mo if God spoke and the world came into being that means he wants it to exist he desires the world to continue and to be the nether should Sadiq note in yoga the key Malayalam the soul of the righteous person gives more existence and sustenance or maintenance to the world yo Jimmy : rouhani I'll show you the base of NIC - even more than the spirit that was in the base of me - itself the feasts I think I've had your soda mom because one Sadiq is the foundation of the world neshama talk had sobered me Petoskey sick abode he is so humankind is carved out from underneath the holy throne there's a picture of a man keep alkane eh Balkan douche God Allah there's such a great amount of potential and holiness but no tentative I have the key mullah Cola alum that he is giving mankind is giving a righteous person is giving existence and upholding the entire world this is how much potential we have and you should know Shekinah sure a made the odds episode remember the verse we spoke about which we started with Isaiah 29 verse the 14 my Masha mission Madaba BC leucon Schultz a deacon I mean we saw it Rashi we saw that it's a removal of a righteous person but where does that like really inferred so we look at it carefully elevado I should see local nefesh I must skelet we're talking about removing and I'm going to use the word intellectual spirit the word nefesh is spirit the word sacral is intellect so he uses the word her nefesh Hamas skelet the intellectual spirit which is called hawk moth hawk mom as we mentioned the sages wisdom its sagely wisdom came a fish a mask ality no tenet compile a choral um because it's that very spirit or in intellectual spirit I mean you got to be sitting down for this it's the intellectual spirit which actually gives existence to the entire world Selig or Emmet and the removal of that is is causing a mood a olam you refer foo the the pillars of the world to be weakened and to shake the dev our army team and not hone this is something that's absolutely true and correct Roy the sorrowful opossums they're outside of REM mez and that's why this verse appears in the Metra SH okay so if we go to chapter 35 in Bobby bar in numbers go to verse 6 so it's talking about will be called a rain Nick lot if God forbid there was an inadvertent murder which we will call manslaughter okay so the person who created this mess the one who accidentally killed somebody if he wants to live he'll run away to this earring o'clock at least for the initial run he'll have to go to court though so they'll protect him though escort him they'll take him to court will be found out whether or not he was a premeditated murderer right a first-degree perhaps where it could have been totally accidental so we're in this case if he ends up being sent back to the City of Refuge it was because very complicated but it was called not accidental and not purposeful but a manslaughter type case a inadvertent killer murderer so how many cities are there they're originally going to be six cities they're going to be three on each side of the Jordan and the future there's going to be another three on the other side of Jordan we'll talk about that another time maybe I wrap my singer we'll talk about on tissue birth and no because he's gonna throw out tissue love and prophecy and but so there's an additional 42 cities and those 42 cities are cities Olivia so you get to run away if someone accidentally killed somebody and basically it's a whole discussion in the Gemara is this considered a punishment or is it for rehabilitation and it's a very interesting question because the laveyan are sitting and letting turn of the whole day and you know what this guy is basically going to be around them he's gonna learn about responsibility because what ended up happening if he if he is he sentenced to live out his life there until the current gunnel dies which we'll see it's because of some aspect of negligence he wasn't concerned enough or he didn't know enough he wasn't concerned enough about his neighbor to prevent his neighbor from being harmed which is obviously what happened because he was killed so this 42 cities now the first thing he mentioned in these 42 cities are gonna parallel the 42 movements 242 journeys rights on the math the 42 journeys that we just talked about in the beginning of the parsha Kim Megan member shaneoh she is Rehanna BAM the 42 encampments which the Jews encamped you've the coulomb to Gary we were like Wanderers the word of gare we know it means they proselytize a convert a stranger a newcomer okay so during these 42 travels and encampments it was only temporary we were supposed to be here in Israel so we were all considered as strangers so - that's exactly why they were given these cities are given to the Levine who are the Levine that the priests they are supposed to sit and learn all day right we've already mentioned that and they're not supposed to own land the meaning God did not even allocate land for them because he didn't want them farming farming can take up a lot of time gotta get up early in the morning got a you know certain at certain times of the year it's a lot more work maybe certain times that Eve you have less work but nevertheless they don't have a real connection to the land that's why they're like Gary shillelagh have Gaelic but are it's that they should not have a portion in the land so how many are by which time ear there's 42 cities we are a.m. o'clock that's what they're called are a like this the word here city plural array Mick lot the word McCloud means a a shelter so these are called cities of refuge you min RA on the beam those 42 cities are from this there's lead Levitical cities the V shun us a year Nick lotto so the one who's to run he's gonna flee to get there it's like a safe haven for him that's an interesting idea and he's only there temporarily until the Kohen Gadol dies which we'll talk about she runs towards his McClatchy are you Shama gare he will also be there when he's living amongst the living just as they'd like Gary so he is like a stranger the the H la cloche Pena Merlot Toshiba and Yoshi iris now there is a concern that the non-jews who might be living here at the time when we first come in will say to the Jews gear out ten bar it's you don't really belong here this is not your land you're just so joiners you're strangers not a good thing I can see which you are a Mick lot min are you love them that's exactly why God commanded these 42 cities to be the cities of the Levites Kagame levin Kagera arts because the truth is the bolivian are more like Goering than anybody else the younger blown now what would we answer back to them I'm gonna say it nicely I'll just use his words boom she busts out all my little rock when you had something inside you that's blemished you're not the person to say to someone else so the fact that these people who are really Gary meaning not Gary them in terms of converts or proselytes but there are strangers what right do they have to tell the Jewish people who are really not strangers that we are mistaken and we're not we don't belong here our direction them are now if you look in Exodus chapter 23 verse 9 God tells it tells us about how we should love the gare how we should look out for them well tell you dot them came nefesh i guerre he gave him I eat them you know what it means to be sent youth used to be sensitive to the soul of a stranger in this case rightfully so a convert Kagame eaten because you yourselves lived in Egypt you were strangers over there conduction mr now in Genesis chapter 15 verse 13 when God is speaking to Abraham at the brick vein of atarime and he promises him that his his children will live in a land that is not theirs he Gary as our ever barest Lola Hammond right for 400 years they will remain so joiners or Wanderers that their seed will be in a land that doesn't want to that I knew the era shoe Lola hem Shelly oh she Haris we're talking about Egypt they're gonna be in Egypt the lands not theirs but it belongs to the Egyptians but you know what Yosef did this is a great interesting secret maybe people didn't know that but yo safe basically confiscated all the farmland right he put taxes basically he says you want food it's gonna be all under like a military rule the jurisdiction of the government and he moved a lot of the Egyptians to the cities Keo Sethe IV ROM Lauren he moved so he made the Egyptians feel like they were Gary the Egyptians themselves felt strangers in their own country who could Gary mama they themselves were like strangers conditionally awful Omar the Israel so that they would not turn around to the Jews and saying you're strangers at least while we were in Israel game about 10 because they also were well ma chambre terrible wrote scheme now the turret is telling anybody who is of this US will call it axé inadvertent killing she a shave sham he must remain there ID moko Nagano now he doesn't really have to remain there he remains everyone stay alive because if he leaves the guard um the closest relatives that want to take vengeance are allowed to and they're not considered murderers okay that's why it's called a City of Refuge it's normal you know I say normal I don't know in many of these third-world countries and many of these really backward places and primitive places where if one person even if it was by accident kill somebody the whole town goes to war with the other town and you could probably see that the gangs right the same thing with maybe even in LA in New York maybe not New York but you know so basically you have this person can remain there and must remain there will stay alive until the Kohen Gadol dies once the Colorado dies he's free and the the relatives can no longer kill him they would be considered murderers why is it all about the Kohen Gadol it's all about the Kahuna right the fish are on me dato hi Shalom as it says the Pirkei avos we know to be like the students of our own pursuing peace chasing peace arcane high load it pal Abhinav na Dora that's why ayran he wouldn't let's say in this case the Kohen Gadol he with his responsibilities to pray he's going to pray for the people of generation shut up shallow that met yet my mom he's just praying that all only if there would be peace and truth while I'm alive then look to Crenna Caleb and maker ability tourism basically if he really did his job right then nobody would even be accidentally killed because he would accidentally sorry inadvertently killed people would be more responsible accidents wouldn't happen I know it's not accidents but we're talking about and not first-degree murder so these things would not have occurred alkane yay shave sham on most Koenig ago that's why the inadvertent killer must remain in the city of refuge until the kernel dies Rajas pal who the whole base so I'll meet at a corner god no you got to keep in mind that even if the conga rules praying that these things don't happen nevertheless if they do what do you think this guy who acts in divert li killed or his parents they're probably praying that the Kohen Gadol dies his son or relative could be released g'day cheok sir Mahalo beso so you can return quickly home with me Tom Zamora this is exactly why it says in numbers 35 verse 25 I'd well tackle a though until the cone total dies a sham no shock otah I'm sorry I shared my shock Oh Toby chemin de kodesh it's a very strange statement to make because what does it mean that whom one had anointed with the sacred oil we're talking what we don't know that the Kohen Gadol is the one that was anointed with sacred oil why does the person who could tell me just tell me until the Kohen Gadol dies but it doesn't I'm referring you to numbers 35 verse 25 until the Kohen Gadol dies who had been anointed with this special oil he died he died new Chicago the new chakra chemin a Mishka it's a rhetorical question like I just asked but up until now we don't know this everybody knows that the coen and the conga dal is is anointed with the special oil the fish are coming Zen master if it's a beer mom you know what it's this Cowan I'm gonna say it's his fault he created the situation for this murder how is that possible he was in Jerusalem the murder happened in Haifa what did he have to do with it you know what listen to this quija wrote se acaba when he murders when the person murders it's it's he's actually extinguishing and I want you to go to two verses they both have the word candle in them ner eloheem knishmas are dumb you'll find that in proverbs chapter 20 verse 27 which means a man's soul is the lamp of a Shem and this has become extinguished right when someone's murdered when someone's killed even inadvertently and he also extinguished another NER there's two nares near mitzvah of the Torah for the commandment is a lamp and the Torah it's light so vile of zukar coins a buscemi and Mishka kodesh Allah now I admit seadog Commission was signed basic certainly it's not mentioning this Cohen who had the chemin de soil that is a holy anointing oil upon him I'll tell you what happens that when you take this there's certain spices are mixed with the oil and the weight is 500 and it's supposed to be divided it says so in the Torah and so you take 250 in one direction 250 in the other direction and the Cohen is supposed to guard them so the word near none is 50 races 200 so those two nares are representing the two different or the separation of the spices that are used in this mixture for anointing the con god so he should guarding these two things used to pray for what for the soul of man and for people to be responsible keep the Torah and the high noon a humming there so the word near is used twice kilo Cohen sorry clown motile schmeared stayed narrow Thaler be a marvelous Bell on set I'm sorry he called every Cohen needs to stand on and keep the status of a proper guarding on these two candles these two concepts all of his days and pray regarding them well may are some Isis that cara mia' mom after the fact that this unfortunate situation occurred in his lifetime which means the inadvertent killing our kami shave some odd most iconic at all therefore this inadvertent killer he is going to remain in this we call it sana prison but in the City of Refuge until the Cohen who's really responsible for this he the Cohen himself is somewhat were ultimately responsible for this inadvertent killing so what have we learned from this last piece first of all a lot about responsibility we never want to be in a position to be an inadvertent killer we learned about the are brainwashed I am right that the 42 during Mick lot and how they correspond why is it lady specifically lady is unique in the fact that there are role models did the ones who are learning Torah all day they're the ones that we should aspire to be in fact the Rambam says any Jew and he doesn't actually say that he says any human being an amazing thing he says any human being which includes non-jews you hearing this can dedicate themselves from just studying yes he says it Torah and elevating themselves like a cone cuddle okay being the Holy of Holies if he so desires but he gives up a lot what is he giving up his iPhone his TV right it's time for the sports right he's going to dedicate himself and he's like a lady he actually says anybody can elevate themselves to the status of Lady which means like a Gare like a convert and so I tell my Jewish friends holla why if it would only be that we would make a choice I spoke my wife's we had a wedding anniversary on Shabbat and I mentioned that and I started crying yeah I was crying well I didn't really cry but I almost cried right I held myself back I said if you want to get in touch with your feminine so I just get married okay that was a good that was a great joke by the way trying their job its truth I said my wife is a Jew by choice and we should all be I remember of North Weinberg telling us we have to choose this you can be born to marry Shireen I don't care you have to choose to be Jewish if you were born in Lebanon you'd be following nasrallah if you were born in Syria you'd be file following Assad if you were born in Iraq I don't know who it is today but let's say you had been fine following juice whatever Hussein Ryan who say me well I don't know whatever anyway like if you were born in Ramallah you'd be following Arafat today it would be Abu Akbar you know whatever his name is you know anyway the truth is it doesn't matter if you were born in measuring you have to choose it just because you were born with sidelocks you know in a ball in the head you got to make the choice you gotta choose it man choose the choose life choose life that's what God wants you to do and so we see the greatness really the greatness of the gear and the truth is that apparently the cities of lay they were set up so that it wouldn't be we wouldn't be called Gary but they would be called Gary meaning if the if the if the non-jews one of my cus its first was not mockable if that's a word but it certainly doesn't apply to the Jewish people it applies to lazy for good very good reason and the Cohen must guard these two nares meaning here's the Dobbin for the soul of mankind that people should not kill each other the people should be responsible keep the Torah and those that represent the two nares and therefore he's ultimately responsible for the inadvertent death of somebody and I can understand now why maybe a family member would pray it's not nice at all but pray for his death because really that's why the called go had done go L not then when I redeemed the vengeance of blood for their relative so just by praying it's certainly not the same that is going out and killing somebody they if they went and killed somebody you know who the univer and killer they're not even called murderers so if if they're praying that the cuttle should die so that their relative can be released I'm I'm just saying I can understand it not saying it's right they have to get over it make it go go for therapy but anyway we should all have a tremendous and uplifting Shabbos and I wish you all shabbat shalom ho - tov when either comes in we diminish we diminish we don't exclude it entirely when we diminish our joy and there's rata Shem on the ninth evolve this year fifty seven seventy-nine we're looking forward to not fasting hopefully but to becoming a mushy ox and the revelation that we've all been waiting for may this year not be a fast year but if it is it should be the last one and with that I bid you farewell [Music]
