Parshas Zachor (5786) Hands Above Intellect

Shalom and welcome back to our paras tells us that established that should read the para z and the shabas immediately preceding him that since was amalik was the grandfather of hmon and since the battle that took place between amalik and when left mitz was the hakdo was really set what set the stage for the battle that would take place between hmon and mo at sadik the battle in the base that takes place in the story of Purim. Therefore, understood that it was appropriate to go ahead and to read about the Malik on the Shabas preceding Purim in the year. It's understandable the connection between Malik when left and the M and the N that takes place in the story of Pim and therefore it's understandable that Pam morning. What do we read? We read also about the muhammed that took place between and the muhammed that took place the war and the battle that took place between us and malik when we left but what's the connection between para z and shabas kesh why only on chabas why don't we say the Monday or Thursday before why don't we say just on par morning which is what we actually do we lain about it on prayer morning what's the connection between reading and ling and talking about specifically together with the concept of shabas how does shabas allow us somehow to wipe out the why do We need to specifically lane on the shabas preceding as we know from the mission of the expl that what took place by the between was different than every other battle that fought in our history. A regular battle is fought either with the or with going ahead and taking up arms and fighting the enemy that's there fighting the battle the physical battle doing the that's necessary going out to wage war against our enemies thereby allowing us to wipe them out completely and to go ahead and to avert to danger but what took place as the saying the rash expounds on this what took place is that when mobenu sat on top of the mountain while fighting below when mobu's hands were raised up one was began began winning the war when Mosher and his hands came down began losing the war and as the mission rash says it wasn't the hands of Mosherenu that allowed to win the war rather when was able to be mistaken when looked upwards towards Shay looked to they went ahead and they la to the to win when looked down and started saying it's all me and it's my ability to be able to win the war that's going to allow me to be successful began losing the word and there was a battle constantly of believing in the of having the to be able to say we trust in the to be able to be to the oral looking down and saying thereby allowing us to begin losing the battle and to go ahead and to have have to give over defeat in the hands of Malik but if the whole thing is just about looking up at or looking down if the whole thing is about what's this play that was doing goes ahead. He picks his heads up over he picks his hands up over his head. He puts them down. Why does Mosha to do that rather let look at Shmay but clearly if the tell us that this is what Mosha was involved in? If the mission says that somehow by lifting up his hands that allowed to look up to Shayim there has to be a secret message in what mobu is doing when it's when is raising up his hands and how that is the message and that is the weapon that has to go ahead and defract. Is that what message is giving us? What message is giving? How by raising his hands and that allows to look up at and to win the war says the hands represent the world of physicality, the world of the world of doing. As the says weird is weird is which is an weird where could it put its claws in the place of in the place of action in the place of does not have the ability to touch the represents the internal voice of aid that place of the and do not have the ability to do and therefore the The whole battle takes place over what? Over the world of Assa, of the world of Asab, everything's revolving around the hands. And therefore, hands become a central theme within the war against Malik. Because the battle against the no chance of ever winning the battle against the Israel, the cult that Amal understands as understands Hmon understands we can't touch. But what am go ahead and try to touch is that's their domain, so to speak. the world of the world of action that's their domain and therefore that's the place that they're attacking us and therefore hands play a central role but says this is how by raising up his hands how does that help us win the war says this is a fascinating thing we have an advantage when it comes to the world of that as has no although it's true that the world of is connected to as but there's something unique that has when it comes to the world of that the nations of the world have no and that's the fact that we were the way that the mushroom created us is that the head is at the top and the hands are generally held in a position of being underneath the head. They're created the physical placement of the hands is underneath the head and generally the hands remain underneath the head. The head is above the world of understanding, the intellect, the brain is above and the hands, the ones that are involved, the physical actions are below. Says what did is going ahead and saying before didn't just mean like this says that we went ahead and we said the word nasa before we said the word rather we subjugated ourself to do actions even though we don't understand them. And we said, if you're going to give us something called if you're going to tell us that we can't go ahead and mix meet and milk and meat together, we can't we if you're going to tell us to go ahead and to connect to you even though we're struggling and even though we don't understand how what we're going through, the gullus that we're going through is really from you and it's really for the good. Nevertheless, said means the world of action. Means the world of understanding and what said is that we are going to go ahead and we're going to do even though we don't understand. says this, "The symbolism of Mosher Abenu raising up his hands meant that Mosha was showing that can win over the battle of win the battle over Malik because goes that in the world of where the nations of the world and specifically Malik and Han will only do things that they understand takes our hands which represent the world of action and we lift them up above our heads. We lift them up and we say that even when we don't understand and they're higher than the place of understanding even when it's something that's beyond us something that we're struggling with something a test nevertheless we're going to go ahead and we're can continue doing what we need to do that in the world of the world of it seems like that's domain but that's only as domain when it comes underneath the head and those things that he could understand that make sense to them as said I'll serve a god that I understand I'll do mitzvah that I understand but something that's beyond me to go ahead and to struggle through a challenge to go ahead and to do something that doesn't make sense to me but I know it's from the said I have nothing to do with that goes ahead we go and we take our hands to represent the world of action we lift them above our heads and we say we don't live in that world where we need to understand everything we're willing to go ahead and to serve the even when it makes no sense to us even though we don't understand it says this when we Go ahead and we pick our hands up and we say as the says about amuna our hands become connected to the place of amuna which is above the head above the intellect then we're capable of winning amalik this wasn't just to show that picked up his hands put down his hands mohen was reminding the way to beat amalik is to show that our actions are much greater than their actions in the cmas they don't have the ability to fight with us but in the yadim they do but what we can show that that our actions don't need to be subjugated to those things that we understand. Willing to say willing to go ahead, we're willing to go ahead and to do things even though it doesn't make sense. That's the way that is able to go ahead and to beat a malik able to fight a malik says this. It's now understandable why we read specifically on Shabasel tells us that even though we lost the crowns of NASA and did every single Shabasu gives us back the crowns of NASA and the same way when we said came down 600,000 came down and put a put a crown on NASA crownish every gives every year back the crowns and a year is connected to the world of Shabases is a day Shabas is when we say that even though it doesn't make sense to take one day out of the week that we're not going to work at all, we're going to shut our phones. We're not going to be involved in any business deals and it doesn't make sense how we're going to not only go ahead and not lose money, but this day is going to be we trust in you. We believe in you. We take the hands of action. We lift them up above the heads. We say we believe in you that we have the ability to go to that and get to that place of that place that we say we don't only do because we understand we do because we know that you told us to do it and we trust in you and we believe in you. We believe that everything you're telling us is ultimately the greatest thing in the world for us. Every single has back goes our whole that's the world the hands of the world of the hands of Mosheu goes goes ahead and reminds us in Shabases to be connected to the world of NASA before and therefore we can beat a Malik and as the Pik says when rest which is reference to Shabas goes on and says we're not going to only do that which we understand we're going to go ahead and raise our hands above to be able to go ahead and connect the world of action to something which is beyond our intellect to say we're going to do even though we don't understand then we're capable of going out and beating Malik this is our avoid every day of our life but this is our avoid specifically of Shabas kesh and the avoid that takes place in Puma that bunch I don't understand the plan like Esther Mala said when she went in to the palace of Kayan I don't understand the plan I don't know why I'm dealing with such a start with such a hester in my life but I believe that everything you're doing has a plan and I'll be able to look back one day and I'll be able to see the mcgillis Esther the gilli of the hester that took place and I'll be able to recognize that there was a nas of that carried me through and that is what allows us to be able to beat the lake hashem should help us to be able to go ahead and we go through challenges. We go through difficult times. We go through our stern in our lives to be able to pick up our hands not in surrender, not in defeat. Not to say we give up, rather to pick up our hands of amuna. To pick up our hands to the place of amuna above our intellect, above our heads and say, "We trust you am to be able to go ahead and to be able to be connected to the world of and through that to be able to go ahead of not just but as well. And by doing that we'll be be able to be to the of the have a great Emperor.
