The Alter of Novardok quotes the Rambam (Maimonides) who reveals that anyone can choose to be like the tribe of Levi - whose sole mission was service of Hashem - and thereby by amongst those who 'fear Hashem and pine for His kindness' - and in this way merit unusual Divine assistance.

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
