What is the idea behind the fact that Hashem promises to reveal His 'two letter' name, but ultimately reveals the 'name of 72?' Why do the righteous 'say a little and do a lot?' Why did Hashem not reveal the concept of the Manna to Abraham? How could the Jewish people make the claim that they had eaten the Manna during their servitude to Pharaoh? Why does King David ask that he not have grievances to the Jewish people, and they not have grievances toward him? Why does he ask that they 'hear' or listen to him? Find out in this week's parsha podcast.

you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast recorded with a gems
never-ending assistance in rubbish
emissions our l57 77 2017
this week's parsha is partial Savarin at
the beginning of our partial Moshe
Albania begins very long speech and he
tells us some interesting things one of
the first things that he says he says
like this well Marlin Cambodia he lay
more I said to you this is in chapter 1
verse 9 I said to you at that time
locale of adidas ace has come I cannot
carry you by myself which I may know is
one person the Jewish people 600,000
people and motion says how can I either
want to carry alone Hashem next verse
are similar came here boys can in
Cameroon confer fashion I'm annoyed
Hashem your God has made you great has
made you many and today you are like the
stars of the heavens so numerous in
number verse 11 but I shall declare was
Satan yosef alaykum LF common Hashem the
god of your father's should add upon you
many times a thousand times the virus
has come and you should bless you got
sure develop him as he has indeed spoken
to you but he said they caused elevated
Caucasus Emirate m-michelle vinegar
moisture bein goes on to describe the
fact that because the Jews people are so
many because there are so many Jewish
people so he can't do it by himself and
he therefore had to appoint on behalf of
the Jewish people different judges at
different levels different sized courts
etc and those things that were too
difficult eventually would be brought to
him but he had to give out the power so
to speak now in speaking about it's very
interesting speaking about the greatness
in number of the Jewish people who
speaks of the blessing of a sham he
speaks to the fact that Hashem promised
to the forefathers there will be
numerous they will be innumerable
like the stars in the heavens and in the
U at this point they are and let's talk
about the blessing let's talk about the
blessing the idea of blessing the idea
of the fact that did you
people are innumerable that counted like
the Stars how do we get into blessings
how do we receive those blessings how do
we get to that point to that place where
we indeed are worthy of those blessings
so this is what the measure says this is
in partial olive beginning of the of our
partial beginning of the safer the farm
Deuteronomy and it's in letter U and
olives section 11 silly this
double-rocker how share alike a from
here boys come Shem your God has made
you numerous session recursive is what
the verse is a shop on this hall culture
hall I will bow down to the sanctuary of
holiness so what is the idea I'm going
to be allowing the share of you students
in reveal I said in the name of review
bin zero comma raka Roka Avraham this is
what God said to Abraham show y'all as
one of your state ICS that he's going to
redeem them with two letters one of the
two letters with the name of a Shem
which is a two letter name me nine
shikaka how do we know this because the
verses like this the garments are going
to show you are going to be done on
oinkie and also the nation that they
will be in servitude to I shall judge
them we're done which means the judge is
two letters Dollard and moon which
actually as the ACA points out if you
look at the DAR 72 we refer to will soon
see we'll talk about the 72 letter name
of Hashem which is derived for three
silk and three verses in the in the
account of the Jewish people getting to
jump stuff as they got to the sea of
reeds behind them where's the Egyptians
in front of them with the water so the
verse speaks about the fact that there
was a cloud addition placed between the
Jewish people and the Egyptians and each
of those three verses there has 72
letters and from the the three verses we
derive the 72 there are 72 combinations
of letters of three letters from each of
these three verses which we won't get
into in detail but in the middle in a
fiftieth one the 50th combination of
letters
have the name which consists of letters
Dollard and note that's what they say it
brings down so I shall refer to the fact
that it's going to be done he's going to
judge the Egyptians he's going to give
them that which measure for measure that
which they gave to the Jewish people the
challenges that they gave so Keisha
bulla golem when a Shem comes to redeem
the Jewish people gone to Shiveluch time
oh yes Hashem even though he originally
spoke about a name of only two letters
when it came to the redemption itself a
sham redeems them with the 72 letter
name so this is the first place that we
see since I'm a Jewish where we have a
small amount so to speak as the theater
says says he came under my eyes I said I
beg those who are righteous they speak a
little bit but they do a lot like MOV no
Abraham when he greets them a lot when
he greets the angels so he says he can
do a little bit for them but he does a
lot he brings out a tremendous amount of
food and Hashem - because it's a legal
righteous they exemplify the behavior of
God they bring God's God's manifestation
into the world
so I Shem - when he speaks he speaks a
little bit so to speak and he does a lot
he says he's going to redeem us with a
two letter name he redeems us with a 72
letter name which of course means try to
understand what is the idea of the names
the names represent a manifestation of
God in this world how we perceive God
how we interact with God so God says I'm
going to go to interact with the world
with a two letter name then only reveal
so much and then in the end she actually
reveals much more this is his this is
his humility his modesty okay that just
brings down a few different ways that we
see the 72 concept not going to get into
that okay very interesting a measure to
the next section which is the key to
what's going on or how when access is
this blessing the blessing that we're
speaking about is it starts small it
looks like it's something small or it's
mentioned that something small described
as something small but it becomes much
more great much much greater than a sham
originally speaks that blessings
manifest where
within a much greater fashion we speak
about the number of thousand we'll get
to that
okay how does that work how do we get to
that so the measure says something which
seems to be not connected but it is in
fact it's the core java rmi rely be
ashamed of eh see Ben's Imre another
matter where the light stone in the name
of Jesse Ben's emerald is a mop like
dealer to the schwa Wroclaw avril
lavigne oh why did I Shem when he speaks
about God spoke to offer up to a ram and
he promised him that he's going to his
children are going to end up in a
strange land strangers in a strange land
and that they're going to be they're
going to be in service to they're gonna
have difficulties and in the end they're
going to be released I was going to
bring them out with great Isis might
some miracles etc why is the Shem not
mentioned to opera moving to Abraham
that he's going to give his
grandchildren his great-grandchildren
the amazing Merida amazing food which
she sustained the Jewish people with in
the mid bar for forty years why does a
from Avene will not receive that
information Mary Olivar Tana cascade our
kinshasa deacon
the Africana says this is the way of the
righteous hashem behaves in the way that
he expects the righteous to behave i
remember i choice in hard day they speak
a little bit and they do a lot shem said
is going to redeem him routine the
Jewish people redeem them but he doesn't
mention all the many things that he's
going to do on their behalf the Virata
another explanation
not a depth give me a molecule Ocilla
han why - i'm not reveal it to them she
look he likes to the hen if you would
have revealed it to them how you throw a
rock hollow a sales for commercial taro
amazing thing you need to understand
what this means but the measure says
that if the jewish people would have
known about the month from a fourth they
would have had a mr. être dition but
that's what they're going to get they
would have said when I came to the mid
bar what's the big deal we've already
had this we know about this we've
experienced this already
we ate this in the in Pharaohs place
create this month de toluca should know
what the measure says how
you think that they would say such a
thing to haven't let her you know Cyril
I'm room the Jewish people when they
were in Egypt there were such deep
slaves that they had to create bricks
even without receiving any heaven now
receiving the straw to create the bricks
with nevertheless even though they were
so impoverished they were so downtrodden
what did they say when they were in the
mid bar it says the harness are dug up
he said we remember the fish that we had
a novelty ask though the melons did the
good old days they remember the good old
days right falafel agiels I had I
shouldn't did not want to tell them
about the month because he didn't want
them to say we've seen this before we
know about this before Pella
what does it mean what is the matters
talking about they wouldn't the month
was something that they never
experienced never saw they never heard
of like they would have had it in
Pharaoh's in Pharaoh's Palace as slaves
to Paro they never had it they never
would have had it what does it mean once
the measures mean that they would have
said all we had instant Pharaoh's Palace
means explanation and we need to
understand how this is connected to what
we're talking about here the blessings
that a Shem or originally says you know
manifest is the letter or the two letter
name but in the end he manifested the
70-200 turning so it's connected somehow
to the idea of till he came under my
eyes well you sinned a hard day
righteous speak a little bit do a lot
like we saw but we need to understand
deeper depth alright let's continue
Deborah I remember you LOI Bashara VA
students Imre another statement of
amyloid in the name of years to be a
macaque inoculation bakla Avram this is
what God said to Abraham to my galvano
physical of them that God promised is
going to make his children to be many to
be great like the stars mean I mean how
do we know chana as the verse says
Colliers rfo so shall your children be
shavelev work on meaning like the stars
he took them outside shows and stars he
said your children will be like this
like the stars above or from barking you
in Russia I'm alive when he came to
bless them
the blessings actually manifested they
became even greater than that not really
right when Hashem showed this album he
said could you pointed me said this
how your children are going to be there
was almost a a limiting a defining that
happened that it could only be as many
as the stars that you see but when it
comes to the number sort of arrived so
many to innumerable to even count and as
we see milder life Harbaugh our bet I
will make them greater and greater and
greater so many when it comes to
blessings the blessings are always
greater the blessings Michelle says like
we said before he does speaks a little
bit it does a lot he says that there's
gonna be a number but in the end it's
going to be much greater than that okay
now so so now we get to something very
interesting which also seems not to be
so clear the connection we definitely
see in the Pacific we see that much of
anything there's so many and therefore
when it comes to judgment when it comes
to bringing you you want to come and you
want understand what our lockers are you
have to go to this judge I can't do
everything myself everyone is waiting
for me trying to access me and trying to
understand what's the right thing for
them what's the right Haleh call what
needs to be done
I can't do by myself there's so many of
you we have to create a system of judges
right so now the message goes into at
that point the point of the system of
judges and tells us like this very
interesting idea which we also need to
understand how is connected here to the
idea blessings model ma where's the
verse mean when it says to fault
painting near Eve a um this email it was
government verse says in Psalm chapter
18 verse 44 King David says that he
wants to be released from the fighting
from the from the worries about those
who will fight he was a judge King David
was a judge he was someone who they came
to with their questions in our waka and
he said I want to be released from the
fighting of this nation the lommers of
it King David so like this fault an
immunity on me slowly Haley Deena slug
Fontana today I'm Sheila Hale ahem did
Exley one-time the verse refers to fact
is there is a arm the fighting of the
nation sometimes it refers to repay on
me the fighting of my nation with these
two different ways of expressing this so
the measure says sometimes
I will have a Tyne on them King David is
saying something I will have something
that I'm upset about some grievance with
the Jewish people and sometimes the
Jewish people have some grievance with
me I want to be released from that I
don't want have any grievances on them I
don't want them having any grievances
with me
Omer la koteshwara who HM says to King
David domination of Hearts lon
you have not even become their king and
you're speaking about the fact that
you're going to be responsible for them
I have had for Meniere's Camilla column
I swear to your sham says because of
your recognition of your responsibility
towards them and your interest in Rafi
being any grievances your already I
already have appointed you to be their
King over the front of Holloman Issa I
see a Vanessa Taylor and I believe she
bowed out huh
amazing thing he says he says since you
have made me their king I want you to
please put it in their hearts put it in
the heart of the Jewish people that they
should listen to me they should hear
what I'm saying they should accept one
essentia can consider it says the Shaima
is ending shamili you should use their
ears to listen to me and there's a few
things we need to understand here in
this magicians description of King David
speaking about him as a leader as a
judge you want them to listen you know I
don't want them to have any grievances
what's the idea of the Jewish people not
having any grievances I mean have you
ever heard you know two people go into
it then they come into it antara they
want to be judged one of them is going
to come out happy the other one's going
to come out unhappy that's just how it
is
so what does it mean I don't you have
any grievances how's that possible what
does that mean and what does it mean
what's the acne they should hear this
idea of hearing in its context governor
mouth wants them to hear to accept what
are you saying what is the idea of
hearing and again how does it attach how
does it connect to the topic of
brockless the blessings that were
speaking about until now Lloyd numbers
of King David said additionally to see
mainly the rich going make me it's also
in the same verse
make me to be the head of the nation's
Oh a breath here you've done this ago
Bob when we threatened you myself a
lilica if you are the one who's judging
the Jewish people so you're going to be
given over to meaning they're going to
say there is no way out you're going to
be judged if you're going to be judging
the Jewish people they are going to ask
God for the proper judgment and the
vanished continues and says that indeed
Hashem judges the judges those who are
judging the Jewish people they are held
accountable for their judgments which is
also an interesting concept we'll see
how much we get into that but we also
need to understand what is the idea that
there's that there's an accountability
how in this context or how does it
relate what we're saying that there's an
accountability the judges are judged
based on the fact that they're judging
the Jewish people there's there are held
accountable for what they do for what
they say so to understand what's going
on here the the thought that I had here
is a depth to the thought that I had
here is what it's the idea of a month
let's bring it back to the month how do
we access blessings
you know the Mun with something which
was his birthday email because I'll say
now impersonate the mana so if you would
just eat manna wouldn't anything else
first of all you eat a little bit and
feel full you don't feel hungry anymore
you feel like you have what you need
that's with them one of the amazing
things of the mana besides to that
person never had to use the bathroom
they were in the mid bar for 40 years
say only at the Manatee they're not have
to use the facilities the mana was a
spiritual food that was completely need
laden a of completely consumed within a
person's innards
there was no refuge there was no extra
there was nothing was that's the idea of
blessing blessing is it you have a
little bit becomes a lot so Digimon room
I asked voice in our bay they say a
little bit they do a lot Hashem says I'm
going to come with the name of two
letters I'm going to manifest with my
two letter name manifests with a 72
letter name and interestingly even the
72 letter name is dr. 72 letters but
it's threes it's 72 sets of three letter
names so even within the very name
itself there's a multiplicity there's a
there's a deepening there's a reboot
there's more and more
how does one access the blessings how
does one access the idea of the month
the idea of Misbah resume if he has what
he needs
that person has what he needs there's no
refuse is no extra is exactly what he
needs
how does the person access step blessing
as a person access receiving more see
what seem to be more and I believe
hidden inside of here is an amazing
thing and it has to do the question um
yes we said what does it mean that
Hashem did not want to reveal to avril
lavigne oh the idea of the month because
the Jewish people would say oh we know
about this from before the month what is
the name of the month as the atheistic
points out the one the the very name of
the moment expresses the fact that when
the Jewish people saw it for the first
time they said mom who what is this the
word month means what what is it it was
something which they had never heard of
it was something they had never seen
before it's something they couldn't
conceive up can you imagine food that
you eat a little bit and it feels you
feel full from eating a little bit can
imagine food that you eat you never have
to use the facilities after that amazing
thing what is this
that is the key my friends the
Bravo the key to receiving blessings is
the question what is this it's the
humility when cuz when when the Jewish
people say oh we remember how good it
was in the old days when we were in
Egypt we had wonderful fish and we had
melon you remember how good it wasn't we
all days when you were slaves and you
didn't you might make bricks and you
didn't even have straw with which to
make those bricks you weep that's the
ultimate first time is the ultimate
denial of the question of taking out of
that place of utter hardships the
ultimate hardships is brought you to a
place where all he needs are taken care
of and all you can say is oh I remember
those good old days when I add the fish
and the melon when the measure says that
they would have said if they knew about
it they would have said I remember what
we had this month in the Pharaoh's
Palace they were in the palace
in the times of Pharaohs Egypt Magister
seems to be saying as far as I
understand it that they would have said
if they would have known if they would
have had a mass or ax that they're going
to receive the money with all we know
about this already the the you so the
foundational idea of the Mun is I don't
know what it is I've never heard of this
before how did I get into brothel and I
get into blessings how I get into God's
graces I don't know about it I've never
heard of this the question asking the
question now I'm reading this magician
I'm trying to understand it and I want
to share with you a beautiful idea but I
don't know what the menus is saying I
don't see how the content of the Mun
connects to the concept of blessings I
don't see how King David his idea of
being the the leader and not whining him
to judge Shana I want to judge them I
want them to hear I'm saying what does
it mean what is the connection when I
when I enter into a mentorship I want to
understand and I asking a questions what
is going on here the question of Manu I
get into a place of humility again took
place where I don't know everything it's
not my ego it's not oh I know it I know
all about this look how good things were
before why did you bring me to now
that's all Iko but the measure is
telling us the path in is Manu it's how
what is this what is this that's our
answer to blessings Hashem starts up and
says I'm only going to tell you reveal
to you a two letter name that's all it
sounds like a little bit so they can
they speak a little bit and they do a
lot what is the idea the idea is that in
the speaking a little bit in not making
grandiose all the things that a person
is planning or all the goodness or the
person is doing but rather speaking a
little bit there's a humility there
there's a question what is it going to
be what's going to happen only a two
letter name of a son that's all it's
going to be revealed and in the end
because of the smallness because of the
humility that's expressed there it opens
up the possibility for a much greater
revelation for a much greater
manifestation
that's the 72 letter name of Hashem and
that's the month you people receive the
Mun because they didn't know about the
month they received the blessings
because they didn't know about the
blessings now in trying to
and the connection to King David in his
request do not judge them they not judge
him I think the key to it is in his
asking that they hear that they listen
to what he says the idea of listening is
connected very much to the idea of
blessings how so because when I listen
as we've spoken about in the past when I
listen to I hear one word and another
word and another word and another word
and then we put all the words together
and the concept comes together but hear
it in pieces within the idea of hearing
in pieces is that I it's going to take
time this humility in the fact that it
takes time for me to get to the point
where at 22 minutes and 52 seconds into
this podcast it's taken a long time for
me to get to the point but there's a
humility and listening and waiting and
asking questions and then trying to
understand the answers and that humility
brings us to the answers if the Jewish
people can listen to King David if they
can hear with humility the fact that yes
they have their understanding of reality
and as they come into a court and they
say this is my view and the other person
says this is his view each person has
their view and there's a bigger picture
that we're trying to understand by
looking at all the views if I can listen
if I can receive if I can ask the
question if I can recognize that I don't
know everything then I can hear
something beyond my perception that's
the King David was asking he was saying
Hashem put it in the hearts of these
people that they be able to hear
something beyond how they understand
things let them hear let them hear let
them not judge me because they recognize
that I'm trying to see the bigger
picture let them recognize that there is
a bigger picture let them recognize
nothing to have the humility of money
what is it what is the idea if they can
come in with that recognition they won't
have any grievances against me and I
won't have any grievances against them
and so that's the amazing thing you know
you have a blessing and the blessing
manifests greater and greater in the
lives of the Jewish people if they have
that humility to ask Mun who what is it
to recognize that they don't know
everything you don't see everything
they don't have the full picture they
need to see a bigger picture and I was
thinking you know the message mentions
the fact later on that that the juice
you are blessed to be like stars why
like stars and wine I like the Sun or
like the moon
so the measure says because the sum of
the moon are going to be darkened in the
future time but what's the idea why did
something were darkened they're not the
Stars the reason is because the stars
are small there are many stars a share
manifest through the stars as it's isn't
dark for shelter on Khan speaks about
their manifest through all the Jewish
people if there's only one great light
that it shall manifest through so then
it's not that level of humility it's not
the recognition that we need each other
when Shem says I'm manifesting like
through you like stars sources he's
saying each one of you is special I need
all of you to manifest in this world and
I need each and every individual to
recognize that I need all the stars in
order to manifest my greatness in the
world so there's a humility that comes
it's a recognition of a greater picture
mm else is asking for King David is
asking for my sure obey no I'm sorry is
asking for and so that humility is
represented in the Stars and that
blessing comes about when we act like
the stars that blessing comes about when
we say Manu what is it we don't know
everything we don't have our ego getting
in the way the blessing comes when we
start small so you can I'm in my odd
awesome heart be they do a lot Shem
should bless us a um should help me ask
you to bless me and I'm blessing you
know Shem should help us to recognize
this lesson to internalize the lesson of
Manu how can we understand recognize
that we don't know everything recognize
that were a piece of a greater whole
and indeed a Shem should pour out his
blessings and we should be Zeca
you should merit to see the day in cases
like abraha idly died the blessings are
so great and we continue to see a shine
thank you for the blessings thanks so
