wanted to curse the Jewish people he wanted to say negative things about the Jewish people but he couldn't why the yacht Serena can actually how you off illegal when he realized that he couldn't touch them Jenny why you said button I say enough what did he see that prevented him from being able to curse the Jewish people Elohim at the goal and he saw their their flags he saw how they recognized the unique purpose what's a flag a flag is something which is raised up upon a post it's raised up on a flagpole why because it's something that we look up to and we see what is our purpose we see clearly we don't always remember we're down here we're on this earth but it reminds us the flag reminds us there's a picture on the flag which represents the unique purpose of each tribe to remind us who we are what is our goal what are we headed towards what is our purpose in life that reminder that's what bilham saw and he realized he can't touch them they have an exalted status they have an exalted role and goal and therefore I can't touch him I can't curse them nothing can get them that's what bilam newest what he realized his fellowmen he began to say me Oh colleague of I mean a automail you can touch these people but kunis a Viserys much bhai Sam what else does it represent not just the purpose but really the purpose is rooted in the parents it's rooted in their tribe who we are has to do with who we come from right you should every one of us comes from a certain family comes from a certain route a spiritual route that's represented by our parents represented by our tribe it's represented by that Degel by that flag mr. MacLeish on the vase a voice and that's how they were organized bill him saw this he saw that they understood their place he understood that they understood their purpose he saw that they were clear in cognizant of what was their role in life she's not sure if in a schwa Tov it says that they were encamped according to their Shabbat them according to their tribes McCollum McConnell - I argued the golem could do lava get early throw the word did Gollum this is how I understand what the measures are saying their word the golem we read it we could move around the letters do Gollum you can do other its greatness and within the word the God one of the central letters the middle letter is the gimel what is the concept of a gimel the game on a doubt gives you a get there again there is is a clear definition it says who we are bill couldn't touch us or as I believe the HDX of explains together perhaps one of the unfortunate remember which one the gather is there was a gather la rice the Jewish people when when they had the entrances of their tents no entrance faced another entrance nobody was looking inside of another person's tent no one was looking at someone else's wife's everyone was clear this is mine that is yours I don't even look where I'm not supposed to look now that's most powerful protection says the measures against the bilham bilham wants to find something negative how does he indeed cause destruction to Clara by causing them to have a desire for a woman who are inappropriate for them that's the downfall we're not we don't recognize that we have what we need we don't recognize our perfect place I don't per se have the same mission as somebody else I might have a similar mission hey I'm the other person is a singer I'm a singer but they have their unique place they have their unique way that they're supposed to manifest Hashem in this world and if I look at them and I become jealous of them and I'm not moved on I don't recognize the boundaries within which I'm supposed to be with them which I'm supposed to accomplish I become jealous and I lose what I have Clara was very clear each individual was clear each tribe was clear who they are and what their purpose was in life because of the gather because of the boundaries that were clear bilham couldn't curse them curse has only come upon people who are not clear on their boundaries blessed things come upon those who work within their boundaries and work within their limitations and their unique purpose and they strive to become who they're meant to become like Oppenheimer you shall Diggler that's why the verse says this amazing powerful thing that each and every person had a clarity about who they were because of this the measure is saying because of this because of this recognition Clouseau says what do what do you offer us o nations of the world he wants to be your leaders you can't you can't offer us any greater thing that I could work who offered us we were in the wilderness you can't offer us any greater position any greater honor then us being who were supposed to be then when we stand surrounding the Mishkan the center of who we are the center of spirituality the center our relationship becomes for who that is where we want to put our talents I don't want to take my intellect and use it to become a great philosopher I want to take my intellect and I want to use it to become great and Tyra to understand what is it that a sham wants for me to understand the Tyra to learn Gomorrah to understand the Madras to understand to you I don't want to use my my voice to sing songs love songs between a man and a woman that's not what I want to sing about I want to sing songs that have to do with me coming close to Hashem you have to do with me recognizing what's important in life that's what I want to use my talents for that's a magic she's saying what's the center you shall I'm is the center yang we didn't talk about you shall I write the message doesn't say anything everybody shop it does talk about to be stomach dosh let's talk about the Mishkan that's the center where are we where are we located are we located in a place which is far away in the nations of amongst the nations of the world are we located in a place which doesn't recognize the centrality of the Taira and if we're in a place that's far away from our it sees

asks us to be like those angels there are angels in shimane and perhaps we talked about that i'm pretty sure we talked about this in years past how cloudy throughout as they stood in this formation around the tabernacle around the mission phone so they were in the formations that they saw the Angels surrounding I could assure Buraku as it were when they experienced the revelation at har c9 when they experienced that and they saw the key sale cover they saw God's divine throne they saw how he was surrounded on all sides by many by many formations of angels and class I said we want that too we

awestruck and it needs to cause us to take action it needs to cause us to say where do I belong what is the true center of my life where is the true center of my life it's the Taira but can it see and taste a tire the Navi says it's you shall I'm Iroquois - not any other city outside of RT Stroh is referred to as an Iroquois - only a city that's in Tanaka it's because this is the center and this is
