In this par we have
you know as the Terry mentions
given out like we saw before is given
out
the is
first of all
the word it'll fall to you
it's it's not that you'll conquer or
it'll be meed out or given it will fall
that says is especially
connected to the concept of
girl says
um he doesn't say quite why but the
reason is simple the the word people
implies
um something unforeseen unpredictable
and when something falls down it falls
down by accident by mistake or something
like that. So the word over here would
mean that it it's not something
predictable I guess right word
anything that is did not have to be
divided by like
you didn't need a he brings a from
Yeshua
because they don't have Israel
It was not something that was suitable
to give out
um because a is that doesn't need to
apply to it. So let's um speak a little
bit about the idea of go and go being
identified.
Now there there are three basic methods
we could say three basic ways of that
Buddha possibly could have worked for
dividing up our Israel. One of them is
using our judgment. Erh, how do we
divide up fair lats? Maybe sometimes we
would and beside who put in more effort
and which land is worth more all sorts
of various person various uh
arbitrations that that best would take
part and it would lay out fair.
This is a is a is a positive process in
um in a normal piece of land. We make a
decision who who put in more effort and
who deserves more and who what's a fair
share and so on.
Nour
on the other hand is something that is
totally not in our control. It's not
coming from us. We are being told very
clearly what to do. We're told you
should fight this, you should give this,
you should do that. That's
is a very fascinating
um midpoint. The Rambam in Torah where
discusses the nva. So nvu is a process
that one under one under goes a process
to acquire nva and it includes all sorts
of um you know learning studying and so
on so forth and then a person reaches a
play a point of kesh
kesh is described as he understands
things that he never understood before
things that were obscure to him or
totally not known and he understands
that it's not his mind that could have
possibly
understood it. It's some sort of
connection with beyond. It's it's um so
it's it's an interesting arrangement. I
understand it but I understand it
through a um through a perspective
that's outside of me. That's as best as
we can put it. Finally, Ra says if a
person's a person keeps on studying and
doing and acting in the way he should
act,
a person is prepared for nva. Sometimes
it comes, sometimes it doesn't come,
totally unpredictable. In other words,
is totally coming from Hashem. Anovi
actually sort of collapses when he gets
a vision and aeshu speaks to him and
it's all about that's that's all it is
that's a regular
but a um
over here but that's that's the VU so
is some sort of
midpoint
and o between the two we have using our
sele
to determine what's an appropriate um
division. We have
totally just being told from Hashem what
to do and we're just at the receiving
end and we say yes and that's we go do
it. And then we have a an intermediate
type of
a connection called roa kesh where I
understand
me I understand after thinking about
something but then I realize that no my
understanding is drawing from somewhere
else
that is sort of a mid um uh ape of I
don't know what to call experience
between and we have
a gor is also like that I have not
predetermined
what is going to be who's going to get
what I I didn't make that decision on
the other hand I do an act that
determines who's going to get it I draw
a gor I draw a name of a person name of
a lot and I match them so there is a
type um decision
and I I have a decision and yet it's not
made quite by me. I pick the name and
then somehow it it comes up like that.
It's something which is very reminiscent
of
in the sense that a person understands
with his mind but understands that his
mind is operating in a way that could
not have been possible.
So he's he's maven with das but he
realized it's not his das earth Israel
was like that
um mura kes who was medal himself and he
was the only one the only entity that
was visible and said you know gave us
the the
and everything and yeah we're we are we
have to do what we have to
But you know it's Israel
it's terra is integrated into the life
and so on. So on the one hand I go
through motions that seem normal and
natural on the other hand I understand
there that there's something is leading
it. It can't it's not it's not just a
natural order. So needed to have the um
kaluca based on something which would be
a unique blend of ashka and
I'd be pitting the goro but the goral
itself
the the the the um
the choice would become
the um
the the the uh Delion of falling is also
that when something when I do an act I'm
just from guilty and I did it when
something happens from outside
it comes somewhere else when something
drops out of my hand so to speak then I
did something but I can't quite say I
was the one in control and therefore I I
see there's something straddling the
middle so this is really what the pro is
He's saying um you're coming to
it's the type of that you will get
through goro it's going to be of a
different caliber it's going to be of a
different way that your connection to
land it'll be a place where it's neil it
falls it's your act but not consciously
so it is like it is the words coming
from
um somewhere else and and fitting the
situation.
So the Pik mentions you come to which
comes about which you will divide up
through gor go is parallel to kodes
and that is the the the appropriate
method of dividing up because what is it
is it is it means that we take we act in
ways that are natural on the surface but
what's guiding the hand is definitely is
something beyond the
