Behar - Foundation of Bitachon

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold I recorded with Russians never-ending assistance in Roma when she's real 57 79 2019 this week's Barcia outside of Israel varsha's bahar in Israel's but who goes I like to share with you a thought on parshas bahar Torah tells us at the very beginning of the partial that Hashem spoke by the bear show emotion about her c9 laymen's to chapter 25 verse 1 God spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai and he said the following okay so we need to know this was said at Mount Sinai all the ministers said amounts on Ezra she tells us why is the Torah singling out this Mitzvah we need to understand that hopefully we'll get an explanation of that soon God spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai and he said as follows da Beryl been a new album art Elohim speak to the Jewish people and tell them key survival or arts when you shall come to the Land of Israel a shiny new silicon land I'm giving you shows ours Shabbos Russia the land has to rest a special rest unto God shishun empties rosada six years you have to plant you have to have a station in his mark Amitha and prune your vineyards the service to a saw and gather in all of the produce shanachie is on the seventh years is the Torah shabu-shabu so nila orit's there's an obligation to rest this is not just a you know tur a crop rotation we're not speaking here about one person doing it one year another person doing it a different year the entire country 90% agriculture 90% farmers everyone has to stop and put their entire work on pause okay Shabbos /m it's a rest on Tasha I'm so Kelis is robbed the Karma Hollis is more you can't plant your field you can prune your vineyards Torres says we have an obligation to keep shmita every 7 years every 7 years everyone stops working the land sits down studies Torah whatever they do but they're not involved in their work an amazing thing what is the idea behind this what is the concept of shemitah what is the foundational idea of shemitah that's going on here to understand this we need to look to the Madrid sod on the altar of Navarre t'k tells us an amazing thing an amazing shot in the Pacific in the torah tells us in the context of shmita that a person will ask a question about how yo it's gonna be that a person will ask in t Shallal you're gonna ask a question i'm sorry not quoting precisely my nightclub Hashanah schooi is what are we gonna eat in the sh meteor what are we gonna eat we're not gonna be able to plant anything when i can be able to to prune our vineyards what will we eat we need to feed our families Jews are responsible right Torah says don't worry and the sixth year I'm going to give you my blessings gonna command my blessings upon the earth you're six you'll have enough for your six seven and eight unbelievable amount of bounty will come to you because you trusted in me so the alternate verdict says when is a person asking this question at which point in time in the year in the sixth year he already sees there's a triple blessing and the first year was he worried about what shmita is far away this is the alternative arctic an amazing foundational principle we need to understand why this principle is stated in the context of our scene amount Sinai the alternative annex is an amazing thing he says that the way of a human being is and especially a Jew is worried about tomorrow what are we gonna eat tomorrow what will my kids eat how will they have a partner so how will they have a livelihood how will I have a livelihood how will I be able to provide for myself we have a mid son in the seventh year we can't you can't work the ground and can't work the earth Oh a vague let's start preparing now I have an idea we'll do something that you'll see if did we'll take a part of our crops I'll put it aside ok so we will be a little bit hungry put aside 1/6 of our crops each year we'll have enough to eat in the seventh year says the Taira don't do that you have you have an obligation have B taco have faith in God that you will get a triple blessing I promise you system I'll give you a triple blessing in your six seven and eight don't start collecting in the first year yours one through six because if you do that a sad thing will happen I will not give you triple blessings explains that Madre goes on them the altar of the Lord except the blessings only come because you trust in a Shem if you trust in yourself and you worried yourself you might fulfill the mitzvot in the seventh year but you will because you're not gonna work your field but you will lose that on the point of the Mitzvah the reason the Torah wants us to do this is to - it should be a lesson lease he slammed us have you done we need to learn how to trust in God sometimes I'm saying this as an extrapolation here it's not time and Reagan saw them this is not the plastic but sometimes this has certainly been my experience a Kurdish bronco shows you in your life that it seems like you don't know how you're gonna you don't know how you're gonna have the money and then like a snap because it's broken if you trust in him shell sends you what you need since you an opportunity so here's something you didn't expect you thought it was gonna come this way comes a different way that's be taaha Shah wants us to learn be taught him now what does the idea here my Russia Shiva asks her repair what is the idea here why is this Mitzvah given in the context of our scene all the ministers were given an at heart z9y cetera tells us that Hashem said this to emotional man at Mount Sinai and he explains an amazing thing foundational principle here this idea the Jewish people at Mount Sinai what was going on there what were the Jews experiencing there Mount Sinai they were being made into an eternal nation with a covenant with Hashem with God a bris that they would be the leaders we will be the leaders for all time of the entire world we will be the spiritual representatives of a Shem in the world the nations of the world will imitate us they will copy the concept that there is one God because that's what a chinois Tosh and wanted the entire world to know that through whom through us now if we are the ones who are the leaders the ones who everyone looks to to understand spiritual principles understand what does it mean to have a relationship with God so then we need to have be tough on much more than anybody else we need to have developed this kind of trust and faith in God it's foundational at har C night this is it as the grow up points out the entire Tyra the the point of the entire tire the reason that our was given was so that we should learn be Tom we should learn how to trust in God that is the idea of the entire Torah according to the gone me Vilna so that is a foundational idea now it's amazing and it's beautiful because this thing the militia she was said exactly parallels a statement also the Mondragon Sodom the altar of Navarre dhic and he says something amazing you're safe at Sadiq you see what Sadiq Joseph he was thrown into jail he was in jail for ten years terrible timing had there and despite the fact that it was difficult and challenging he worked his way up he became in charge of the entire jail amazing human being always the word the name of Hashem was always constant he was talking about God right he always say what side he becomes leader there but what happened he's still stuck there he's still stuck he can't get out these two guys come in the servants of Pharaoh sour mash games are alive him the baker and the wine bearer of the of peril and they come in there and they say to toyou see if they had these dreams you know Steve interprets the dreams the cup bearer is gonna get out in three days the Baker is gonna be killed in three days and Yossi was able to explain the dreams and he knows that these guys already stick it out cuz the only person as learner she explained the only person who can get him out is Paro Paro someone who has the power to get him out of there no one else can get him out if not he'll rot in prison for the rest of his life he says to that cupbearer please mention me to Paro this is a cart Ani these cart Annie remember me mention me he says twice coz I'll tell us an amazing thing because he said it twice he was stuck in jail for two more years he should have had faith yo save it Sadiq knows if the righteous one the sinked was on such a high level in his be talkin and assuring his relationship with shine that he should not have depended on the cupbearer instead he should have waited should I be talking he should have seen it as a sign that I Seamus with him and in in this moment the first time okay if he said it in passing it's one thing problem was that he went on and on he said remember me the gunner good not anybody even I was still when I was kidnapped from the house of the Hebrews it wasn't my fault I didn't do anything wrong I was placed in jail he says a whole sob story an emotional story hoping hoping that as a result of that this this wine bearer will indeed remember him mentioning tapara mission to Pharaoh get him out have compassion on me I don't deserve to be yours is not my fault now what happens in the end the cupbearer forgets him the cup ever forgets about him right as we all know he's stuck in jail for another two years and how does the cupbearer remember him it wasn't because of his compassion for him wasn't because he felt bad for him he remembers him because pyro needs him mr. Shiva pointed out when you're in the presence of somebody like a pyro a pharaoh who has the power of life and death over people he just says death right you don't want to be around him when he's upset as soon as he has upset everyone's worried and nervous and the Serra mush can perhaps even fearing for his own life says you know there's a guy in jail his name is Joseph can pull him out he's gonna explain your dreams explain my dreams he explained the Baker's dreams he's the right guy to speak to but what's interesting is that Yosef as we said you're safe he thought that it was gonna come because because he's gonna appeal to his emotions but that's not exactly what happened at all it was just because of his abilities and a sham had already planted that it wasn't necessary Prince to say anything to try to appeal to the emotions of this of this sorrow Hamish Kim okay so we see though an amazing thing we see an amazing thing and that is Joseph is punished it seems Joseph is he loses another two years he's stuck in jail for two years because of this mistake that he made what's the idea why is it in the answer the reason as the alternative Artic explains the coroner shiva is that Yosef is the person just like a nice rose we said let me throw the the Jewish people or the nation who's going to represent God in the world we are the leaders of the world Yosef at Sonic is the leader of the Jewish people he's going to lead and guide the Jewish people throughout their 70 years in Egypt but for 70 excuse-me years of their time in Egypt that being the case Yosef is the leader he has to have a perfect beautiful he has to have a much higher level of betoken that is ordinarily required he has to have inculcated into himself that sense of connection to a sham unwavering unwavering connection to a sham and if he loses it for a moment he needs to see that that's not what's gonna help him when he gets out of jail he realizes immediately it wasn't because of his emotional impassioned plea to the saramakan that he got out it was because of power and it was because of the ceremony but not because of the way that he thought that's something that Hashem can teach us many times in our lives that's the idea so this is foundational this is foundational this is why I was said in our scene I this is why the Mitzvah of be talkin which is contained in the myths of shmita was given in our scene I because the Jewish people in order to be the leaders of the world we have to have that level of be tahoe and we have to know that a Shem is going to help us he's going to save us and I want to tell you just personally you know I've been working on me talking as you know I've mentioned numerous times that we started a group PETA PETA hunt group we're meeting once a week you have a women's group of men's group and we are working on be talkin this is essential especially in our times so many things are so so many difficulties are going on in the world so many challenges whether it's spiritual challenges or challenges with our livelihood there's so many things that we that that are unsure are uncertain the only thing that is certain is Hashem it's only God Himself is so essential that we work on this meda as the Grasse as as we mentioned the crosses this is why the Torah was given you know how to work on the me Tubbataha I'm gonna share with you this is something that I've been working on for the last few months myself really less I've been listening to Marcia she would speak about it from close to 20 years and the idea of be talking the idea of trusting Hashem developing a trust in Hashem knowing that I can rely on a Shem and just I have it straight just but this past week where you know they're different to different parts of my Muskaan to my my mortgage one part is on the 10th which is a certain amount a bigger chunk of it there's a smaller chunk that needs to be paid on the 15th of the month and I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to make that money came the 14th of the month I didn't know I had done a few different things you know what to do - I need to put him efforts open the possibilities but I don't know where it's gonna come from I made up a song I sent it out a little bit of interest didn't sell the song that night on the night of the 14th I got a call from somebody that they wanted to me to do a certain job involving studio work and recording and singing and that job covered I was able to have the the guarantee of the money that job was able to cover the mortgage for the 15th I knew I was speaking on the 14th to a friend of mine who we talked about Batak him a friend of mine in the basement is here nearby and I said I don't know exactly how I'm gonna get that money but I know I'm gonna get that money and a similar thing happened on Friday where we needed a little bit of money to pay for the groceries so there was some money that I had already put into the account for the following week for this week and I said to my wife you know you can use that I'm sure she almost send me that money not exactly sure out sure that that money will shine we'll send it to me and indeed on Sunday morning I was I was cleaning up after breakfast there's a knock on the door and the mailman had come with a registered a registered mail envelope and it was a letter from somebody in Germany actually who was very thankful to me about my music the song Hashem loves you and he knew that I had done a crowdfunding last year and so he sent me a very nice amount of money that more than covered the amount of money that I needed and these are the types of things that a person has to be talk when a person has trust in Hashem these are the kinds of things that happen all the time these are the kinds of things that it's possible to experience as possible to have to know the person trust in my team in my the way that I make a lot my livelihood is through music and sometimes there's there's jobs sometimes there's more jobs sometimes there's less but I've seen throughout my time I've been married for almost 18 years Baha Shem and throughout this time Shem is always provided I shall always provides the question is how much efforts do we need to do and the Shem will often show us as you showed me this past week it wasn't from the effort that I put in it wasn't the song that I made up and thought maybe that would be it I felt like I I do need to do that I do need to put in an effort the effort may or may not produce fruits that could be solemn I'll mix it I'll sell that song in a few months from now or next year or in a few years or not but Hashem shows me will show you and a Shem is trying to tell us here in the tire that it's not our efforts we have to maybe do efforts in order to show that we're willing we're not just being lazy and saying oh Shem you do it for me I'm willing to do whatever needs to be done it could be that that's important important part of it that's why we need to do it on those perhaps need to put in efforts but a Shum shows us that it's not our efforts that that's not where it comes from I can make a phone call here trying to get a job I can send out an email they're trying to get a job nothing pans out from it suddenly something will come from somewhere else Shum shows it all the time it's something that I personally experience all the time the tire is telling us in the first year when you're worried about the seventh year don't worry about the seventh year do something which is against your normal Jewish nature go against your nature the tire tells us don't worry about the seventh year you have what you need today have gratitude we spoke last week about gratitude you have gratitude for what you have today say thank you I Shem that I have what I need I have my health I have my family I have a home I have a car Thank You a Shem don't worry about next week don't worry about next year don't worry about seven years from now I have to be responsible yes I have to be responsible but everything has to be with a balance and with an understanding that ultimately it's a cool dish Brock was a Shem was taking care of me I could settle put away millions of dollars and who knows where Hashem can easily take that away as well right as that Majoris ottoman says the altar of antibiotics says that when a person has be talking when a person has trust and faith in God so he's more sure about the money that he is trusting a sham will give him tomorrow or today than the money that's in his pocket because the money that's in his pocket could be stolen can be lost but the money that he has beat Ocalan - i was going to send him that's guaranteed because a sham guarantees it if you have trust in me I'm going to be your Minister I'm going to be trustworthy I'm gonna be the one that you can depend upon that is the myths of shmita that is the idea and that's we each and every one of us as a member of the Jewish people we have an obligation all of us this is a national mitzvah shmita bît-yakin trusting in God it's the foundation of the Torah why because we are the leaders of the Jewish people as inertia Shiva said I'm sorry we are the leaders that's true as well we are the leaders of the entire world and each and every one of us is a leader in our homes of the leader amongst in our communities is the leader amongst the Jewish people and we nationally are the leader of the entire world so we have an obligation it's not just a nice thing to trust in a Shem that's just a cool thing oh if I trust on Shem so with everything works out this is an obligation we have an obligation to trust in our Shem and when we have you talk another Shemin we trust in a sham Shem should be means a COS I ask you to bless me and I'm blessing you jump should give us the merit to be able to live in our land to be able to keep the midst of shmita it's not just that but to be able to understand the depth of the myth so that it's all about trusting our my some should help us to have that faith which ever to help us to be those leaders within our communities and for the entire world thank you so much for listening have wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you for more podcasts like this please visit www.gfi.com/webmonitor [Music] you
