if you're listening to the weekly
partial podcast with Ari goldwag
recorded with hashem's never running
assistance in umavishmish Israel 5783
2023. this week specialist bye and we
have the final
Makkah It's the final plagues that
Hashem brings upon Egypt the climax of
the story the Jews are about to be sent
out by Paro from their bondage in Egypt
ends in the process so of course this
amazing miracle for the Jewish people
occurs in the month of Nisan Nissan is
the month of Miracles for the Jewish
people and the pasig tells us the
command the first Mitzvah the Jewish
people
this month this very month which
represents your Redemption this very
month which represents the Exodus which
represents the foundation of the Jewish
people the beginning
of the nation of the Jewish people this
shall be your month this is going to be
the first month that you count this is
going to be the basis for the Jewish
calendar this is going to be the basis
for Jewish history
is that we will live a life of Miracles
we will live a life where Hashem
stands up for us protects us
and
fights our enemies
beside us and on our behalf that's what
the magic we're going to read together
we're going to see two very very
interesting pieces in the medrish
both of which I believe have a central
theme
let's study this together
the measure says like this it brings in
plastic mahu hey surimarano
Nevada
from the from the highest peaks I will
see him
it says
they are a lonely Nation they are a
nation that dwells alone
it's
in the
blessings of bilham Russia billum was
able to see certain things that perhaps
we couldn't even see ourselves
he was able to see that the Jewish
people is a unique nation that dwells
alone
now how does this relate
so perhaps you can say this on a simple
level
not what the measure is going to say but
on a simple level the Jewish people is
unique we have a unique calendar
we have a uni calendar it's called a
lunar calendar right wait you'll say the
Muslims also
use a a lunar calendar no
right this month always has to be in the
Aviv the month of pesach is always in
the spring so whereas the Arabs when
they Count Their years they have only 12
lunar months and they never in Ramadan
for example can can will be earlier each
each year right
give me the sour cream in the winter it
could be any time because they never
they're not trying to get their calorie
to line up with the solar calendar the
Jewish calendar is unique
it's Unique we are our own people we are
not it's not a solar calendar it's not a
lunar calendar it's a loony solar
calendar it's both okay that's a side
point but it says
they they are a unique Nation what is
the word hen something interesting about
the word hen hen means they
so the two letters are hey and none
color is
all the other letters in the alphabet in
the ju in the Hebrew alphabet
they can they have a pair
except for these two letters Kate sod
what does that mean aleph and Tess the
letter Olive is the number one the
letter test is the number nine all right
so one and nine is ten base the second
letter of the alphabet and the eighth
letter of the alphabet
so you have two plus eight
each of the letters has a pair that gets
it to the number 10.
doesn't have another number that
joining that that letter together with
that other letter will give you the
number 10. hey only joins with itself
five plus five is ten okay
in a similar way says the magic the
letter noon has no pair right what does
that mean
the letter yud which is 10 and yamatria
has a has a letter Sati which is 90. if
you combine them 10 plus 90 is Hari kuf
you have a hundred half Peg I recover
right then the letter cuff has a match
which is pay 20 and 80 is 100 laminine
all right
let alone does not have another another
letter to combine with it it has to
combine with itself
so that's the the word hen the word hen
means absolutely unique
doesn't combine with anything else
doesn't doesn't attach itself to
anything else
uses that word in describing the
uniqueness the specialness the aloneness
of the Jewish people
all right
Hashem is saying look just like these
two letters do not have the ability to
combine with any other letters rather
only with themselves
all so too
Russian
the people of Israel are also unique
they have something that doesn't they're
not counting their calendar their lunar
calendar along with the Arabs they're
not counting their solar calendar along
with the nations of the world the West
they're they're unique they're special
they have their own way of doing things
so for example if let's say the enemies
of the Jewish people make a decree upon
them they need to break the Shabbos they
need to not
circumcise their children they need to
serve idolatry
okay
they prefer to be killed
and not joined with them we don't want
to mix into the the non-jewish Nations
our host Nations around us
we are a unique Nation Hain they are
special the words is the word Hain which
has no pair no joining letters
they will not be counted amongst the
Nations
right so it's not a coincidence that in
the U.N
90 of the resolutions of the un uh
Security Council is against the Jewish
people why because we're trying to be
part of the Nations the nations are
saying you are not part of us
we will single you out for special
treatment you might not like it it might
not be fair but even the Nations
recognize and understand that the Jewish
people are special and unique
we have a different way of doing things
we are the children of Hashem God
manifests in the world through us
nobody like us there's nobody like us
and that's manifest that's expressed
in other words we are a unique nation
and it's expressed in the fact that we
have a unique calendar
this is a special month for you
um
that God says like this what am I going
to do because
any enemy of the Jewish people that will
decree upon the Jewish people anything I
will destroy him look back through
history what happened to the Romans
they killed a lot of Jews they killed a
million Jews but what happened to them
in the end
they're destroyed what happened to the
Spanish Inquisition it's over we're
still here what happened to the
Holocaust
six million Jews six and a quarter
million Jews terrible terrible
destruction but where are the Nazis
today they're gone
yakum
[Music]
there's another plastic that uses the
word hand they're noting again the
uniqueness of the nation of the Jewish
people
which means
they shall rise they are a nation that
shall rise like a lion
what does it mean they shall rise like a
lion who means we'll see that there's
two different aspects of it one aspect
of it is that we will rise up From the
Ashes from the oppression from the
difficulties from the dangers that we've
experienced
and we will fight back and we will
destroy our enemies ultimately
that's one one aspect of it and we'll
see also that there there's this plastic
also includes an aspect where we do
nothing and Hashem does everything for
us
that we just stay in our homes and
Hashem destroys our enemies for us
without taking without us taking any
action
from here we see Atta might say
you find
foreign foreign
comes to attack us
what happens Yeshua who's a shief person
he's from the tribe of Ephraim from from
Yosef he gets up and he destroys a Malik
he kills the Maliki people who came to
attack the Jewish people so when we are
attacked
we fight back
we have the power to fight back Hashem
gives us that unique power
perhaps we could say that power is
somehow embedded
this month represents the Miracles
represents the fact that Hashem fights
on our behalf represents the fact that
when we are oppressed
ultimately we gain the upper hand
ultimately Hashem destroys our enemies
we have that power
we can fight against a Malik
but sister of araguh sister came and was
with his army oppressed the Jewish
people what was the end of cisra he was
destroyed he was killed Hashem
God caused a mahuma because a confusion
to sister and his army
they were destroyed
says this is the way it is Jewish people
we have enemies those who hate us what
happens in the end they are destroyed
there's a confusion look what's going on
in Iran right now confusion
now where does it from where is it
what's the root of this idea where is it
where does it come from
it comes from the The Exodus from Egypt
a college world
Hashem says don't go out of your houses
don't go out of your houses during
Marcus you stay in your house
the Jewish people are in their own homes
protected through their mitzvah
of the current pesach
they're protected there
and outside what's happening Hashem is
killing his the enemies of the Jewish
people's tribe
that's the basic means and it says
Hashem will go out to destroy Egypt
that's what it means
that the nation will get up like a lion
this nation who's special and unique we
stay inside of our homes in this context
performing a special Mitzvah called
slaughtering
the god of the Egyptians
eating it together with matzah and Maru
in the midst of carbon pesach the Seder
the first seder Knight
the first
that that original night of the Exodus
right
through our uniqueness
we bring into the world through our
commitment to the Torah through our
commitment to miss us through our
commitment to being unique and special
amongst the nations of the world we
bring down a special power into the
world
we are unique
we are able to destroy our enemies
sometimes through our actions like we
saw and sometimes Hashem does it for us
without the need for any action on our
part
foreign
a special month for you because I want
you to remember every single year
where
the the root of your power comes from
sometimes you might succeed in war you
might have a 1948 you might have a 1967.
but don't forget where it comes from
that power to fight against your enemies
who wish to destroy you where does it
come from it comes from the power of
Nissan comes from the Miracles which I
did for you without you doing anything
let's let's keep it clear let's remember
because this problem does not need us
to perform any action in order for us to
be saved
sometimes depending on the day we're
talking about Yeshua with a Malik that
they called for action
generally speaking
involves action
it's called the gibber he's called a
mighty one
overcomes his inclination
through his sitkus
through his power he's able to destroy
the enemies of the Jewish people but
sometimes it's really David dick it's
really mischief and David who does
things without any direct action
Hashem X foreign
this is a month of Miracles this is a
gift the mother of Nissan is a gift in
time
which recognizes
for it's for us to recognize
that the Miracles of Hashem we are his
children we are his special one just
like he is alone in the world so to
speak he is one
he's absolutely unique
so to the Jewish people is absolutely
unique
and
therefore we have miracles happen for us
therefore the enemies of the Jewish
people are the enemies of Hashem as it
were
destroys our enemies
that's the first aspect here now the
second aspect there's a little bit of a
shorter aspect
it's concise but it contains a very deep
and important lesson which is very much
connected to what we just saw
next piece of the magic
let's read this together it's a little
bit hard to understand but once we get
it it's incredible
foreign it's a concept as follows it's
there's an analogy to a King he had a
son
king and a prince his son was the prince
of
the king says this and I want you to be
in charge of all of my
all of my property all of my possessions
sent the princess his father Minaj
he says it's very nice
she says I'm happy to be in charge of
you know the I'm happy to receive the
responsibility of being in charge of all
of your property but there's one thing
that I ask
in order to be properly in charge in
order for me to do what needs to be done
I need you to give me dominion over your
your throne your throne the King's
throne
give me the throne
if I sit on the throne everyone knows
I'm in charge
everybody knows that I'm your beloved
Son I'm the chosen Prince who's going to
be the next king
hello
[Music]
so it's interesting it's hard to know
exactly how to understand the measures
precisely but there seems to be two
things here there's the throne itself
maybe the king is not doesn't want to
give the throne itself so so the prince
says at least give me the place of the
throne
give me the makum say
where the where the throne rests if you
give that to me if you give me the the
place where the throne rests
then
I will know then everyone will know that
I'm the chosen one that I'm the beloved
one and everyone will praise me
now listen to this amazing cockness
we find that God gave Abraham the entire
world avram avinu represents the Jewish
people
The Chosen Nation
it was given to him the whole world what
does it mean the whole world
as I understand it
Hashem in the story of sudden he said to
him how can I cover this up from Abraham
I have to let him know what I'm doing
maybe maybe else maybe he'll
bring out my rahmanas my Mercy my
compassion
so avram avino is given power over the
world Hashem wants to destroy Sonoma
it's almost as if he says to Aram he's
asking his permission
Aaron says please don't kill them maybe
there's some Sadiq maybe there's some
righteous individuals
yeah Hashem does what he's gonna do
but Adam was given dominion over the
decisions of the king
Kevin says
[Music]
here's the analogy
this is Ottomans the prince the Jewish
people are the prince so once Hashem
gave him everything dominion over the
world so he says listen
I want one thing I mean it's a nicely
basic dish tough I'm out tough ammo
learn a satilikum I want the place of
the throne I want the throne says I want
the base hamidash
I want the temple and not only that I
want the space on which the temple is
500 by 500 almonds right the the base of
English itself
is if I'm not mistaken 187 by 180 by 135
almost right it takes up a certain
amount of space on the harabites on the
temple mounts but around that is an area
called which is also holy but not as
holy right the base of English itself
Atomic mace is not allowed to a person
who's as impurity from coming in contact
with the dead which is all of us is not
allowed to enter into the Azara into the
the main sanctuary but there's a another
area which is around the main sanctuary
on the Temple mount on the harabis which
is also holy it's called the makamakisse
called
it's the area where in the in the mid
bar in the wilderness so you have the
Michigan in the center and then you had
the Machina Livia you had the levite
encampment which surrounded
the Michigan so that area had a certain
kadusha which if a person is retire
himself he goes on the Mikvah he's
allowed to go into that area
all right it's permitted to go into that
area
so that's called the makham hakisse
that's called the place of the throne
avram avinu says I saw that place right
after mavina was the one as I'm
unfortunately explained he went up he
brought he did arcadas yitzuk
he brought us he brought his son he was
ready to sacrifice his son
the Temple mount on
on the the the foundation stone of the
world
he said I want this place this is the
Throne of your glory Hashem you need to
not just give me permission you know
kind of uh the responsibility over the
world the decisions in the world I I
want something more
I want that which represents your throne
I want the space upon which your throne
rests I want the makama
I want the place which is the highest
Place whoever prays there comma spouse
is as if you've prayed in front of the
Holy the holy Throne of Hashem
asked when the Jewish people asked right
because arum is the essence of the
Jewish people when we asked
for the temple for the space of the
temple we received the channel
very interesting he brings a possuk
talking about Yosef had sadik receiving
an extra portion
unfortunately explained it's a reference
to the fact that it was in yosef's
portion which stuck out into Benjamin's
portion
where in Shiloh where the the the Cradle
shot Kardashian the Throne of Hashem
resided for the times of the mishkan
before the base of English was built
Joseph I'm sorry
was given that space
the place the shoulders on which to
carry
their divine presence
why because avram insisted I've insisted
told the princess told the Jewish people
are told yes you get the space
says this is
you have the Holy space the space and
time which is Nissan which is the time
of Miracles which is the access to keise
in a certain sense
foreign
and you get the holy space
sorry
you get the holy space of the base
where the where the Throne of hashem's
Glory resides
came and shashama that's what this is
how we show this is how we know that we
are unique and special we spoke about
before unique and special and insofar as
we keep Shabbos they tried to stop us
from circumcision from they try to cause
us to serve idolatry
we have a unique calendar
on an even deeper level the message is
saying the essence of who we are as the
Jewish people
is on the Hara bias it's the hamiktas
if we if we have the makama mikdash we
have the place of the Throne of Hashem
then we have proof to the world that we
are his chosen ones
we came in to show my arm came my Army
bear because Eliza
when avram here is yes you get that
space you get the place of the kisiakave
of the Holy throne
the 500 almost by 500 Thomas
where the base of industry is placed
says
God spoke in his Holiness I will
I Will Rejoice the rest of the person is
the recipe is
[Music]
that we are given the portion of what is
a portion of mean according to this
message it means the shoulder the place
which holds up
which carries
the base I mean there's the Holy Temple
so it comes out from this message an
incredible thing the Jewish people are
chosen how do you know we're chosen
because we have a special month which
represents the special Nissan
and where that's that's the place in
time which represents our specialness
where's the special place the space in
the the place in space that represents
our specialness it's tahara bias it's
the
so it's an incredible thing
1967 we all know because
the Holy Temple Mount we got back this
place unfortunately the people who were
at the top of
this aspect
this uh called the aspect of the
the government of Israel
they they didn't appreciate right they
didn't properly appreciate how important
the kadusha of the mikdashes we could
explain it has to do it
is involved with doing things ourselves
versus we saw before let's Hashem do
everything
so they weren't yet willing things are
changing right but
what's what's at the center what's at
the center of what represents it's an
incredible thing it's so important to
understand
you know
discussions about our buyers or
discussions about people going up there
should know
that that there's different opinions
about is it permitted to go up there is
enough per minute to go up there
there are those who say it's absolutely
permitted those who say it's absolutely
forbidden it's worth delving into that
kind of subject not getting into it here
at all but the bottom line of it is that
where's our Hebrew we need to know that
that place is just like Arts Israel is
the center of who we are just like the
the
center in time of Who We Are
observances throughout the calendar
connect us connect us to the Miracles so
too
ertz Israel as the center of the world
and hire a bias as the center of Arts
Israel the center of and the foundation
for hashem's throne we need to know that
we need to want that place
you need to want that place
there's a one thing that has to be there
why because as as the prince says I want
you to prove to the world that I am your
Chosen One
that I am the chosen one Hashem proves
it by giving us
it's not a coincidence that we have now
for the last 50 years or so
belongs to us because who gave it back
to us
it represents the fact that we are you
know talking about the footsteps of
mashiach where we're so close
but we need to want that place we need
to want things we want to we need to
want to build based something because we
want the throne we don't just want the
even the place of the throne we want the
throne itself
but this this fight this International
fight about the the Haram bias
is who is the chosen one of Hashem who
is the chosen one who's who's the one I
shall come nice who's the one that
deserves the honor and respect
spiritually who is the leader of the
world
Whoever has that space
is honored and respected
as the true Prince of Hashem
so you need to understand how important
that that place is and it's also the
root just as Nissan as the root in time
of all of the Miracles
that the Jewish people experience in
their in their offensives against the
nations of the world so to the makama
mikdash is the root of all of the the
Miracles that we experience why
and it's the center of all of our
prayers
the center of our prayers why
because it's the keys here covered it's
the Throne of hashem's glory and it's
from there that all the Miracles occur
because it's from there it's Hashem
who's behind hey we are special and
unique just like Hashem is
the one who will get up
as a right you could love you the base
of English is also referred to as a lion
a real
that's the root of all of our success
the root of all of our specialness
the root of all of our Miracles is from
the makama I want to bless you ask you
to bless me Hashem should help us to
indeed be able to have this recognition
to have to remember where the source of
our power is the source of our success
the source of our of our triumphs
so it should help us to have that
that desire that wanting that rutzing
from
to be in the place of hashem's throne
for the entire world to see
the praise and the love Hashem has
specifically for us for the Jewish
people thank you so much for listening
