you're listening to the weekly parsha
podcast with our Eagle drag recorded
with uh shams never-ending assistance in
ramappa chiming she's real 57 at2020
this week's Barcia specials Bihari
McLucas I I'd like to focus on some of
the sukham in Baku cows I at the very
end of the type of ha the terror tells
us the Terek lays a frog for us a map
the terror gives us the instructions my
heart seen a crook who tells us talks
about shmita the idea of trust
absolutely lines I could Sparkle
expecting miracles which we've spoken
about in the be talking podcast and the
terror tells us if we don't trust in
Hashem if we don't rely on him if we act
like he's not there if we don't fulfill
his mitzvahs we don't fulfill his
Commandments the Torah lays out for us
exactly what's going to happen we looked
at Jewish history we see that indeed
it's what happened at the very end of
the tie cocoa the Torah gives us a few
sukham which as we read them we see that
a Shem promises us but he will always
love us no matter what no matter how far
we've gone we'll never just destroy us
completely as a result of our sins he
always will remember us he never finds
us to be repulsive I'd like to read to
you these took him and I'd like to share
with you an amazing Madras based on
these protein plus ik this is in chapter
26 / Club of passive mem verse 40 miss
vada is a venom Messalina voice um after
all of the difficulties of the Jewish
people will endure after all of the
jewett all Jewish history has has
occurred so what's gonna happen is the
Jewish people will recognize that
they've made mistakes the recognized
that they turned away from a Shem they
recognize that they've turned away from
the Torah then kept it properly they
haven't studied the term properly
properly miss vada massive volume a
Savannah voice um they'll admit it
they'll admit their sins and the sins of
their fathers the alum Asher Marlowe V
this that they have benefited from me in
a way which is incorrect the officer
hopefully maybe carrying they'll admit
to the fact that they had ignored the
fact that Hashem was in charge of the
world
now the PASOK says something very
interesting and I'm gonna show you
quickly what the rim bond says before we
get to the my Jewish but success Fanny a
lake imam bukhari so
it says something very strange even
though they've just admitted to their
sin Chantel tells us that they're gonna
that he's going to still if they even
though they're admitting that they've
that they've denied ashrams existence as
it were a sham is promising he's still
going to go with them Bakari he's still
going to act with him as if he's not
there he's here somewhere save Amy I'm
gonna bring them into the land of their
enemies ioz Connor love about her RL
until the point where their heart
finally admits until they're hard
finally subjugates itself to me what is
your - I saw venom then their sins will
be forgiven and then the [ __ ] says the
amazing puck the terror says amazing
puzzle first 42 which will soon see the
Magister talks about if it's a hearty as
we see Yakov I will remember the
Covenant that I made with Jacob the
office we see it sucked I will also
remember my covenant with Isaac yeah if
it's BC Avraham his car and I also
remember in the Covenant that I made
with Abraham arts is called remember the
land
okay so there's steps here the Romani
explains the steps they go and they
admit their sin nevertheless that
critters for who still acts with them in
a way as if they haven't really been
forgiven completely then they completely
are nick 'no they subjugate them
substitution now some remembers the
covenant that he made and finally
skipping a [ __ ] Ofcom's eyes we have
some arizona family Maya's little gal -
McCallum Shem promises that even when
they were in a far-off land when they
were in a place where they weren't in
charge where wasn't their their their
Holy Land still I never I was never
disgusted by them I never found them to
be Muslim I was never even though they
rejected me a Shem says even though the
Jewish people rejected Hakodesh Miroku I
shall never rejected them
look how lays him to destroy them love
every seat on some promises that he will
never completely destroy the Jewish
people he may be angry he may destroy a
part of the Jewish people but he'll
never destroy them completely Kenny I'm
like a ham some promises once again
he'll remember the Covenant and how he
took them out of Egypt etc okay so a
sham makes this promise
and what is the order here was the the
idea here the gradations so the Ramban
explains that the idea is that there
will be at Kufa in history and he brings
he brings that this is exactly what
happened between the between the
destruction of the first base negation
the second one when the Jews returned to
land of Israel after seven years of
Exile so there was a Kufa where they
were still subjugated to asylum even
though they had returned to Israel even
know what they returned and and indeed
me their own government and land of
Israel with the permission of the
Persians
however they were still subject to the
marauding nations were there they were
still not completely it wasn't
completely under their jurisdiction and
Lahari we can see that this is what's
going on now Jewish people have returned
Land of Israel we're still subject to
the whims of the Houmas own the European
Union Americans etc and we still have
our enemies within and without that are
trying to destroy us so we haven't yet
reached that time so that's the that's
the promised fear there's gonna be a
time where we return to our T's through
all this is the Rambam we return to the
Land of Israel but we're not completely
in charge we're not completely you don't
have full jurisdiction yet okay
and there and and as a result of that
said the Ramban Hakodesh bah who will
behave with us in a way we will not why
does that happen
what is it why does it happen indeed
that we don't have full jurisdiction
here why do our enemies continue to
fight against us why does the European
Union continue to say no the Jews can't
annex the hood of a summer own area
Judea and Samaria why it's because of
our sins is because we have a turned
away from a kodesh Baku is because we
haven't fully acknowledged him yet I'm
not talking about those who don't know
I'm talking about us I'm talking about
those who are aware of a Kurdish bar who
we haven't fully brought him into our
lives and the moment that we raise our
awareness raised or spiritual level to
the degree that we do so so it has a
ripple effect on all of those around us
indeed we see that in artistry on the
Land of Israel
that there are so many people have
become poly chuva who have repented who
have come back to becoming
Torah people all this is a Rizzo
of the strengthening of the Taira the
strengthening of the limb of the
strengthening of a relationship with a
Kaddish poor who but it says it's a
great it's it happens in gradations it
happens in steps and a sham promises
that throughout all of this even when we
are challenging when things are
difficult he never forgets the Covenant
that I made with a vernian so can Yaakov
he never forgets who we are who whose
children we are we are the children of a
Vermeer second Yaakov you can only live
three and a half thousand years ago this
for who doesn't forget that's what we
also don't forget we always talk about
these stories as if they happen
yesterday okay that's the idea of the
circum now I want to share with you the
Madras it's a long Madras I don't I
don't think we're going to read the
whole thing
but it's a beautiful Manish very
interesting idea of Hartley's Ricci
archive measure says something which at
first doesn't seem as is its way doesn't
seem to be connected we the the point
that it's coming to address is the
reversal all of them a fortune talking
about it the reversal of the postulate
says I'll remember the common enemy with
Yaakov Jacob out excuse me I also
remember the comment I made with Yitzhak
and without ROM it's it's reverse its
backwards we should say I for me so I
can Jakub like we always do so measures
chances that there's a number of places
where things are reversed and there's a
specific reason why the Taira does this
we need to understand what is indeed a
reason how though the sale if neem
artists are Thomas a darkish from mine
usually we talk about showman Verret
voracious documents of show my voice a
sham in the beginning created the
heavens and the earth however we find
there are a few places where the target
places first the word or it's before
Sean I'm the earth before the heavens
now we need to understand scuzz indeed
we want to know the history how did I
shall do it have what did he create
first the heavens or the earth also need
to understand what's more important
spiritual matters or physical matters
right it's an important question so
usually we see show my bridges were like
mr. Shriver our vests are its it sounds
like what's the main thing is the
heavens shall create the heavens on the
earth but we find that my sir sometimes
I can reverse it and say how RS like in
this verse in tehilim in Psalm chapter
I think it
tough love 26 okay bhishan my basal
Sigmar says we have a maha Lycus we have
an argument between the shahnameh CLB
Shami i remind every chilla rococo are
its what was created first as Bashan i
the heavens were created first and then
i'll and shine mr brazier lucky mr.
Amar's brings that verse we still owe I
mean hearts never Aquila via her cash or
mine they still says no no no we wanted
always created first the earth was
created first and then the heavens a
lavell mavim time on the brim each one
proves their statement time an omission
might be you know a harmony brutal
America Haaretz what is the reason
Bashar my said is that it makes sense
that the heavens were created first
marshal amela also like you say you have
a king he he has his craftsman great
from a throne oh sorry I stopped a
period shall I race he makes a throne
and then he makes the stool the
footstool where he places his feet right
the throne is very high up so first he
makes thus the throne and then he makes
the footstool karma Shan Shan you see
var said the rachni the verse tells us
that a sham said the heavens are his
throne and the earth is his footstool so
it makes sense I could walk who first
creates his throne crates of spiritual
realms and then the place where it will
now apply then we'll talk first you have
the king and then you have the people
time they base hello my saw says no my
son created the earth first the army
hearts never steal of a commercial metal
shop on Appleton you should burn I
talked I know but I'll join him what is
it what is it King do when he wants to
build his palace right what does he do
first he lays down a foundation in the
earth once he has the foundation he
builds up the palace right once he
builds up the palace then he can be the
king
[ __ ] save my sister Shawna came erestrum
I'm the verse says embraces chapter 2 it
says shun created the earth and heavens
first verse there okay so which was
created first and therefore which is
more important the spiritual realms are
the physical realms neshama
says spiritual realms were created first
basil says no the physical realms were
created first does that mean
all right so that's the muck Lycus
now I'm gonna skip a little bit because
I don't have time to read everything
here but there's a very interesting
thing
the measures tells us that this very
argument this very argument okay I'm
sorry
I may be on very high mission bar I says
the argument that we just spoke about
here timaya near 8th neckla obvious i'll
a british my words he said i don't
understand how they're arguing about
this it doesn't make any sense to me
interesting i want to share with you
this little thing because it's such a
cool thing the ATF says that ribosugar
high refers to be shaman basil--oh as
the always the item the fathers of the
world he brings here the 80s it brings
from the makalah mooc him that when I
coach for who created the world it says
NASA all done bid bid moose moose any
kid musain right it's how many housein
Sherman says let us make man the word
not says made up of four letters loon
ein sin hey NASA stands for NIM la M
Shammai the hill Oh
Hashem asked who to whom did he ask this
question sha my and hello that's the
shin and hey of NASA
those were the because they were Colonel
their souls hello and Sharma those souls
work I love all of the souls of the
talika the righteous ones who would ever
be born just cool interesting so be sure
I says how did the obviously eylem
Sharma inhale how did they have this
argument understand how many technical
cooperation my parts trainee I wish my
part so any brutality elbows Vicky sweet
so I remember yokai you know which was
created first super high neither they
were created the same exact moment
amazing thing there's just like a pot
when they make a pot so they have a mold
they have a frame within which they
place let's say the metal or the plastic
whatever it is this mold you pour the
stuff in at the same time the same mold
you use to create the pot and to
the cover of the putt has to fit exactly
okay so you have the mold you put it in
bang you have them both they were
created together she may have arts we're
not created separately okay Chum all
right Cinderella kill fast Vicki so how
did you save a VOD hasta Eretz the emini
to crush on Miami brings a verse in
Isaiah chapter 48 verse 13 that
indicates that these two things were
done at the same time by the same hand
as it were the hand of God God founded
the land and the the heavens okay we're
gonna get back soon remember let's hold
cup we had a question why is it reversed
so Kim why Yacouba vino who you know our
misaki knock oh here it says Yaakov you
spoken Avram here we have the verses
saying is there nor usually sermon for
our heads but here we have Eretz for
Sean I am what is the idea our velocity
reps women in key - our ababa comecon
who mock him show me show me I'm Laura -
vomica Matthew I'm here about your
master zhishan the camara special mom
here's the point
Rebbe losev shimon the son rebus to buy
a high he said in explaining his
father's opinion he said usually the
tire place is sure mine first before
aretz and but sometimes the places the
air its first what does this teach us a
malama jewish name Ghulam
shovin Zacchaeus as an amazing thing he
says you want to know which is more
important is it the spiritual realms is
that the physical realms is it my par
NASA is it my limo natira is it my
studying of the Word of God is my
spirituality is my physicality which is
more important says herbs shown by a guy
as explained by his son Rob la suburb
Shimon who sat who sat in the cave with
him for 13 years he understood his
father he said this is to teach us the
tires come to teach us as my father is
explaining that these two aspects were
created at the same time that means
equals these are equal aspects they are
partners in creation as an example of a
site that we find cause I'll tell us
that that the ROM Kyle talks about is a
link that one machine mushiya comes I'm
a bug so TSM Mason we get back to our
you know the people who have died come
back to life was
idea why don't we just fly off into the
spiritual realms you know what do we
need this physical body for anymore and
the physical body lives forever
according to their own cow as explained
you know based on the deeper sources
debris Kabbalah well what does idea that
the physical body lives forever and the
answer is eating that Kurdish world Homa
capac scar coal barrier barrier that
means and a Kadesh borrow his reward
just reward due reward to whoever does
his will the physical body is involved
in the midst I rap that's filling on my
arm right my hands are involved in
lighting the menorah
my hands are involved in ahead lucky'
snares of Shabbos my mouth my voice my
physical body is I'm going to shul I'm
going to a minyan I'm going to learn
Torah because the physical body is
involved in the missus Hashem has to
bring the physical body back to life the
body has to get its just reward
it must get a stressed reward so you see
that the physical is thank attempts we
can't perform mrs. Anna in in the higher
realms you can't do God's will no I
around there's no but here there's no
free will it's only here in this realm
so they're equal they're equal we need
both we need a physical we need to have
partner so we need to have livelihood so
that we can indeed be able to perform
this is Hashem these are these things
are on they have to be treated equally
now it's interesting measure doesn't say
this explicitly or perhaps it hints to
the idea brings down the other places we
find that there's a change in order by
motion Aaron sometimes it says moisture
first sometimes as Moses before Aaron
sometimes it reverses it to teach us
that they're equal sometimes it's
speaking about killing off their aim
sometimes it says you must honor your
father and your mother
other times it says their mother and
your father why because it's teaching us
that they need to be equal yet what we
see and this is an important point is
that usually we put some mind before our
oaths
the Tara wants us to understand that
they're equal they're equal they're
equally important we need both of these
factors they're both important
but it doesn't mean that and in a
certain sense we need to understand what
this means it's a paradox and in a
certain sense yes we need to know why is
the physical important it's important
and it's equally important because of
the spiritual because of the special we
look at motion Aaron Moses and Aaron
Moses was the main Goyal
he was the guy'll he was the Redeemer
Aaron was also equally important
he was the coin God was a high priest
he's the one who fought for the Jewish
people forgive them
Moshe is one who stands in front of
Hashem so while it's true on a certain
level or equal of course we need to know
who is the main one who is a guru and
the measure it says it's also in regards
to father and a mother why is it her
indeed put the father before the mother
that's the main statement because the
the wife is also just like the children
are Mac leave in ki would have a wife
also has an obligation to honor the
husband okay so therefore there's
there's a hierarchy even though there's
a hierarchy still it depends on which
angle you're looking at it from in so in
some ways as my Russia Shiva says I
heard him say a number of times somebody
once asked him you know why is it that
the Orthodox the way was the question
was phrased why did the Orthodox
mistreat their women how come they don't
treat the women as well and he explained
it with a very clear idea with a
beautiful it's a muscle it's true in and
of itself but it also explains
everything he said that my wife is
smarter than me my wife is more but
sudeikis than me she's more righteous
person than me yet I'm the one and my
wife insists on the one that sits at the
head of the table because that's what my
children need to see there's a certain
standard is a certain order that things
are meant to be and we need to know the
order and it doesn't preclude the fact
that it from another perspective the
thing that seems to be secondary is
equal or greater okay so that's that's a
very deep and an important thing to
understand here and the end of this word
here says the man Trish become Malcolm
mocked him Abraham low voice a common
scardiest we see a common Amish lustrum
shavanasa
the time is telling us that Avril
misurkin Yaakov usually we have our room
first and then in sucking on Yaakov why
does it tire here reverse the order why
is it tighter tell us
Yaakov same first I shall remembers
Yaakov and that's the merit through
which acaba who returns us to the land
of Israel that he returns us to our
correct state it's it's reversed we see
its reverse to teach us that they were
equal that they were equal now it's
important to understand so what is the
idea what is the teaching here what is
the depth of this teaching and I think
that the depth of this teaching is that
Avraham Yitzhak and Yakov
chronologically they were three
different people this is the father's as
son is the grandson however they are all
they are all part they are all a
manifestation of a single purpose of a
single goal which is to bring a Shem
into the world to bring godliness into
the world to bring awareness of God to
bring closeness to God into the world
now when we say that they are equal
that's what we mean now who's the main
one who started this all
Avraham did you Scott continued it and
Yaakov continued it further however they
are all part of one unit and that's true
by by motion Aaron as we've spoken about
they were the Google team they were all
both of them Moshe
are and Miriam we also spoke about that
at one of the older podcasts they were
all part of the Google the team okay who
is the main voice who was one out in
front Moshe Rabbeinu words but iron is
the one behind the scenes miriam is the
one behind the scenes and that's true
also in regards to Avram you suck and
Yaakov and we need to know it's
important to understand that three and a
half thousand years later we are still
part of that story why is it a chemise
promising I said he's going to remember
the Covenant he's going to remember
what's that about and why is it in these
verses that are talking about our video
every turn towards Israel and still
being still having having challenges
with the nations around us I'm not
really letting us do whatever we want
we can't an X we can an X Y we dependent
on them we got to do what they say oh if
Trump lets us then we can do it I what
is all about like what what is this
processes going on the idea here is that
we are a continuation of them and that's
the point to the extent that we remind
ourselves that we it goes backwards it
goes backwards because we are still here
macaw Clem why are we part of them we're
part of them why are we here in our seas
from the land of Israel because we are
doing what they started we're continuing
and completing that which they started
that's why we reverse it here Yaakov is
part of it scale is part of Avram
they're the continuation they're nicklow
they are still equally important and
amazingly what it means is that we are
also if we are the ones who are here at
the end of time to complete this job to
return to Eretz Israel
we are also equally I don't want to say
the words but we're on equal footing in
a certain sense here we are we're we're
the ones who given the opportunity to
return to their ways we are the ones who
are given the opportunity to return to
Eretz Israel to return to the Land of
Israel here we are and a college bar who
is clearly giving us signs today the
safest place in the world absolute
safest place in the world is heresy
Cyril come home now this is the time
this is the time to return this is the
time to recognize Hashem is showing us
signs I spoke to my receiver yesterday
he told me that in America there's a
debate to just let the old people fend
for themselves they're the ones who are
mainly affected by this whole plague we
the young people have to work we got to
have money parents you throw this is the
place where you're safe well you don't
have to worry about whether they're
gonna leave them to die yeah can you
think about the ramifications of that
can you think about the ramifications of
living in a society where life is not
important we're making money is more
important think about that that's the
opposite of this I could assure all who
is telling us come back home come back
is a heartless tree see archive reattach
yourself to spirituality to life
reattach yourself to Eretz Israel
ancestral has been here waiting for you
it's time to return
come back this is your chance it is a
good excuse right now Excel is the
safest place in the world and it doesn't
look like it's gonna change so fast
come back mr. karti SPC Akash Roku you
know he promises us he's gonna remember
them he's gonna remember them but we
have to attach ourselves to who they
were the entire Tyra is heading back to
Eric see throw the entire Tyra is
telling us about clouds while going to
Eretz Israel let look on the merits of
Avril Lavigne who go to IRC Stroh you
suck don't leave RTL Yaakov oh yes the
levites Israel but don't worry you're
gonna come back and ami is heading
through the wilderness back territories
for the entire Tyra come back to Eretz
Israel this is the place this is the
time these are the signs don't ignore
them this is the time I want to bless
you I ask you to bless me i Shem should
help us to recognize and remember what
it's all about what is life all about
what is this confident that a sham had
with the Avram you suck in Yaakov Yaakov
Yitzhak and Avraham should help us to
recognize who we are who we are who is
the essence of what we are and where we
belong thank you so much for listening
