you're listening to the 30-second edition of the betahn podcast and we're going to continue where we left off if a person strengthens his service of hashem and he trusts in hashem when it comes to all the matters of his torah and his world interesting language his world be referring to the true world would be referring to the physical realm a person turns away from things that are negative and he desires good attributes so then he is not going to reject serenity with al-ashava he's not going to be inclined towards this kind of serenity i think what he means is the person is not mo it's so easy for a person to be more concerned about having the good life the easy life you know i'll have money i'll have everything i need then i'll learn this person is not being carried by sahara by his evil inclination he's not being um he's not being drawn into the magic of the world is tarpoi so such a person he gets himself out he gets and he escapes from all of the troubles the difficulties the challenges the person puts himself in this to so much heartache causes himself so much heartache why in order to make a buck because how does a person get out of this it's by taking off two aspects right the way is by recognizing and recognizing understanding and a person rejects the need for everything to be perfect what's the result so person it's it's it's counter-intuitive a person thinks look in order for me to get what i need i gotta push my way through i gotta white-knuckle it i gotta i gotta i gotta put in the maximum establish the maximum is the maximum efforts but that's not true it's actually the other way around the person that's true be talking he realizes he can be relaxed you can be chilled out doesn't have to work so hard shaman's going to the person anyway it's determined for him on rosh hashanah on yom kippur what's going to be this year person's going to be healthy person is going to have parnasso person's going to have his needs met he's going to get what he needs commission says that hashem does not cause the soul of a righteous individual to be hungry let me see now we say every day when we bench you know i used to when a person has a true relationship with a kurdish parochu when a person recognizes that it's hashem who's giving him his parnassa that's sitkus that's a that's also the word sedek means righteousness but it also means honestly if you're supposed to seek after righteousness and what's the truth what's the honest truth that it's not us we're not doing it we're not the ones who are bringing about our own salvation it's only hashem who gives us what we need he determines what we need he also puts the ideas in our heads but also he can send it in so many different ways because of harambe the rama writes the classic statement amazing deep idea is so important to understand and he writes this at the end of allah it's not only the tribe of levy right we know the torah gives special has a special obligation for us to give my sir truma to the quran to the levine to the priests the levites but the rabbi tells us that it's not just them they're not the only ones who live with the gift of a direct gift hello every single person who comes into the world as marisha shiva says you could be somebody who's not even jewish anybody uh any human being who comes into the world whose heart has you feel it you feel it like this is the right thing to do and his intellect helps them to understand all that we've been speaking about here in the podcast the brother of allah that what that i want to go not just he's not just talking about be tough and he's talking about a person who truly is a real seeker he really wants a relationship with a kodesh he really wants to be spiritual and he wants to separate himself from the world he wants to serve hashem he wants to know hashem he wants to go straight in the way that hashem made him right every single person is born with a certain innate sense of spirituality of godliness we're all born with that even the person who's the farthest away from there's something inside of him that says hey i don't believe in god because god shouldn't have done this it shouldn't be this way it's an innate sense of how it should be meaning a person doesn't believe in god really believes in god but so a person comes back to his core belief person comes back to that the truth that he knows inside for me he took off from his shoulders the heavy yoke of all of the what do you mean i'm supposed to be talking i gotta feed my family i gotta do this i gotta do that snow forget all the hashbanes look at all your calculations of how you're gonna find it how the money is gonna come person who says you know i'm going to i'm going to put it all aside i'm going to focus what is my purpose my purpose is to serve hashem to have a real relationship with a coliseum such a person who separates himself and enters into a true relationship with the goddess who that person becomes the holy of holies hashem will be his portion and his inheritance forever will get in this world whatever he needs like hashem gave a special obligation to the jewish people to give antanas to the priests and to the levites soto akashboku is going to make sure that the person who has dedicated himself to avoid hashem to serving hashem to being a banter focusing on tara focusing on learning focusing on spirituality that's called kula his entire essence is that such a person becomes the holy holy hashem take special care of him king david says and it's not just obviously for king david but it's for anybody what's the void how do you become like king david how do you become like a lady rambam tells us based on the pasta containment says hashem is my portion and my cup you are the one who supports me in my lot in life see over there the rambam a person who is on a very high level and any one of us can choose to be on this level who has decided to give himself over completely to serving hashem and by the way you can serve hashem anywhere you can serve in your business you can serve hashem when you're selling diamonds you can serve hashem when you're making dinner for your kids you can serve hashem when you're singing a song so such a person will finish sleep with the governor called who can give himself over completely to serving hashem he's talking about here a banter a person who dedicates his life to entire learning to teaching etc and he completely empties out his heart of all of the concerns of the world nothing to worry about such a person the rambam himself makes it clear does not require any hashtag doesn't you don't need to worry about where it's going to come from will be his portion in this world with what he needs just like hashem provided and provides the kohanim so we see that anyone it's very interesting because classically when we think of the rambam ram often is very straightforward you know learning torah with side by side rama was a doctor right we think of the rambam but he makes it very clear that anyone can choose me call by islam anyone can choose to dedicate his life to akadesh baku and such a person will receive incredible seattle dishman incredible heavenly assistance to be able to accomplish and to be able to receive his needs without any efforts truth is if we look for a source where does the ram get this from what is patera that's explicit in the torah but in the verse it says do not cut off the tribe of the family of kahas from amidst the levites the measure tells us like this it brings the verse which says god's eyes are to those who fear him to save them from death this is a reference says to the tribe of levy who their eyes are towards god their eyes are hoping towards god for his kindness only the levites have their eyes towards god waiting for god's assistance to shoot the shalavy shall not look alike it's more the the tribe of lady has more of a need to turn towards god why because they don't have an inheritance in the land of israel all the other tribes right there are 13 tribes in the jewish people because yosef splits up into two menacing prime and so whenever we count yosef is two we don't count levy so levi didn't get any particular piece of land they had portions throughout the land of israel but but elias was probably articulate what do they do what's the lady's job his job is to pray that arts israel all the other tribes should succeed and the fruits should be produced because the same in this way they'll be able to get their maestro to get their tithes beautiful thing so since they're the ones who turn to hashem hashem elyore hashem looks at those who turn to him so those who the the commentaries they ask a question they explain the verse doesn't refer to the tribe of levy it refers to the family of chaos why does the talk about not cutting off the tribe of lady that's not what it says so they want to change the language they want to change the madrish and fix it so it shouldn't say but however specifically according to what the rambam says and circular clouds are necessary to change it at all the truth is that we can ask a simple we can't talk about the the special service of the levites carrying the parts of the basement of the temple of the mishkan doesn't exist anymore what's going on i'm sorry this is what they meant this is why they said shivan levy instead of referring to the family of ghosts but rather referring to the tribe of the levites because the tribe of levy and what they represent will never be disconnected it will never be lost even if we don't have a mission we don't have a specific service of the levites but the the role of the levites the role of the livium will remain forever even though their specific service in the mishkan this is what it says when the verse says the eyes of those who fear i shall sorry the eye of hashem is upon those who fear him those who are waiting we're waiting for his kindness zanna could be shamed levi this is called that in the name of lady and i must say because you know as i read this in the levites or the singers and i'll tell you from my experience that in music you don't always know where the money is going to come from right the famous thing of the starving musician it's not a consistent source of income i don't want to have a job i don't know what they're going to call and hire me i don't know when you know there could be something a virus could come along into the world and make it impossible to have symptoms but that's the nature of the lady the singer the musician that's the nature of our job the nature of our job is we have to depend on our income the rama writes this isn't just the tribe of levi i'll call you should not believe anybody can come into this this category anybody whose heart draws and pulls him and says to him i want to be somebody who's spiritual i want to be somebody who's a yuray hashem who fears god i want to be someone who's miata who depends on his kindness anybody can be that person shirak hashem and the result is what such a person takes on the mantle of shaved lady takes on the mantle that identity of the tribe of the levites and hashem becomes his portion that can be any time it could be even a time when there is no service of hashem in the base of english in the temple in the mishkan it's a taliban it's completely dependent upon us white you says don't disconnect from the from the essence of who is the tribe of levy i'm sorry don't allow the levites to be to to be disconnected what does that mean it depends on you not to disconnect it all you have to do is you know that he's the one that gives whatever you need he's the one who's eternal kindness is there waiting waiting to be poured out on you all you got to do is want it all you have to do is want that connection all right this is where we're going to start on vendor gets on i want to mention a few things number one is that hashem consistently the uh there are two groups a group of women meeting every week a group of men meeting every single week discussing the talking working i'll be talking the men's group is meeting through zoom and the women's group is meeting on the phone and there's nothing like working i'll be talking together with a group that is number one and i and i encourage whoever's watching this to join the group create your own group work work on me talking together this is a special time we're in right now unusual time a time of uncertainty and anybody can access be talking that's what he's saying anybody can access the lady didn't know what's going to be and we're all of them today we don't know what's going to be so this is an important time to be working on just marking off my book where we're up to and that's number one and number two is the best hashem i'm planning to start putting out a series of vitacon from irish shiva from rabbi pere where he goes through madriga's adam as well it's a series from 2017
