Devarim - Love and Rebuke

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with ari goldwag recorded with ashram's never ending assistance in urban ishmael 57 80 2020 this week's parties parties davar and we begin a brand new save for a brand new book of the torah and this book is mushroom speech he started speaking at the beginning of schwartz spoke for five weeks if i'm not mistaken until his death on zion adar the seventh day of adar and this is the story this is the speech and he starts off his speech which is going to all be about the tyranno misus which means that it's all about love it's all about how we can maintain our relationship with how we can maintain our relationship with hashem all of the mitzvos it's a review it's some new gems in these partios and he starts it off with taikaka ela advan he starts off his speech his final speech his final words the jewish people with telling them about the things that they've done wrong over the 40 years that he's led them through the midbar through the desert through the wilderness and one of the things that he mentions is the egel hazahav the sin of the golden calf and the magic goes back through that sin back through that discussion in order for us to understand what's going on what is the role of a moshe rabbenu what is his role as the protector of cholesterol as the one who stands up you know and says hashem you got to forgive them but at the same time at the same time he gives us he gives us rebuke for the mistakes that we've made it's an amazing contrast this is what a jewish leader really is this is what's represented by mushroom so i'd like to read for you this mattress it says like this these are the matters zeso this is what the verse says in proverbs somebody who gives takaka someone who gives rebuke someone who guides people to do what's right to follow after me says hashem so that person is going to find grace much more than someone who has a quick tongue a slippery tongue it's easy to give uh compliments it's easy to say how great things are it's easy to say how wonderful somebody is but to give them rebuke to tell them it to tell them how it is like it really is it's hard to do that it's hard to receive rebuke and it's hard to give rebuke but repent who is the mighty of this passage who is the one who is giving rebuke who's mentioned in this verse it's moses it's moshe rabbenu adam hello israel who is the who is the adam who is the one that he's giving the rebuke to this is the people of israel the verse refers to israel as adam as a person and that's who it's referring to israel is the adam who's getting the rebuke what does it mean that they're being instructed after me what's the purpose of this rebuke in order to bring them after me to have them follow me what does the verse mean when it says that such a person will find grace the verse says in exodus chapter 33 islamic you have also found grace in my eyes you have found favor in my eyes lassen more so than somebody who has a slippery tongue is it been a voiceover very interesting he did something bilam his his goal was to cause the downfall of army israel the major share says how did he cause the downfall of armistice he said good things he said blessings amazing blessings the amazing good attribute supply store but what was the result of that the result was that govalebon they became haughty they felt they started to feel great about themselves wow i'm so amazing they slipped and they fell there was a there was a purpose there was a there was a goal that billum had he was able to accomplish to cause amistral to sin why because he spoke about their good side very interesting when she abandoned who gives to why because he loves army israel he cares he wants them to follow after god he wants them not to make mistakes bilum says the good stuff moshe says the challenging stuff um says what does it mean when it says after me um as it were moshe gave rebuke moshe guided the jewish people to follow after me israel um what was the rebuke he said to them you have sinned was a unique individual he had the ability to appropriately place each thing in its place to say the good to the one who needs to hear the good to say the bad to the one who needs to hear the bad to make sure cholesterol hears you've done wrong but at the same time to turn to aka and say to him hashem you need to god you need to forgive them how could you get angry at your people so listen to this amazing measure it's so interesting such a fabulous major omar abuzak what does it mean la hashem why are you getting angry at your people what is this kind of language bishop so when ami israel did the myself they sinned and they served the golden calf israel wanted to destroy armistreld says he says a very interesting thing he says you know i think that this calf this golden calf actually can help you what are you talking about how could it help me uh i'm gonna leave my shirt every bunch there i'm sorry i'm really like i have an idea this is my shirt hashem surprising thing i'm only a manager could say this shabana you bring down the rain and the golden calf can be in charge of uh distributing the dew time can bring out the the winds who is the barracking the golden calf can be in charge of distributing the the thunder and the lightning what's going on here moshe you're also making a mistake you're also believing that the the the eagle has power the golden cap has some kind of power i'm going to find everybody he says if i could make a mistake why are you getting her people for amazing thing but when he comes down when he speaks that chevy says how could you get angry at them when he speaks to christ he says you guys have seen the terrible sin he doesn't let them off the hook he doesn't give them a a peta some kind of opening to be able to say anything it doesn't mean to them in their face he said to them you have sinned to hashem he says you got to forgive them look i can make a mistake they can make a mistake a king who got angry at his queen he got angry at his wife therefore he sent her out of his house he sent her away from the castle no more queen sent her into the jail so now there was a shotgun there were people who were involved in making the match between the king and his wife they heard about this oh no what's going on how can you do this to your wife what did she do that was so bad to you that's what they said to him you must you must bring her back you must take her back into your home bring her back to the castle who went to the king and said to him you must bring her back it's not such a bad thing they went now to the queen and i said to her you've done it once you've done it twice you got to stop this behavior amazing thing so he says is this amazing he says how can you get so angry at your people but when he turns to claude israel and he speaks to them he gives them rebuke he says it to them like it is he says to them this is your first this is not your first time sinning this is not your second time sinning you guys got to stop it you guys got to straighten up you wanna call the sparkle to take you back but it's an amazing dichotomy that's that's how he creates the relationship he asks the person who's done wrong to fix what they've done wrong yes the person who's been wronged to forgive to not look at it and it's such a big that's such a big deal and this is what's going on here that that mushroom as he's about to give his parting speech to claustro he's speaking to them he's telling them their final that loving message he's giving them the mitzvos israel hashem wants to be called israel he wants to give them all of the merits with the torah here's all the love is going to give you but wait before we start talking about all the love before you start talking about all the relationships all of the things that you're going to get all of the things that are your obligations but first let's look at the mistakes that we've made and try to correct those mistakes that's essential and that's the mushroom does here at the beginning of this story there's one more little piece which is really the same idea but i would like to read it it's very important um it would have been appropriate it would have been correct that bill and russia should have said negative things about call israel and moshe should be the one to get the blessings if indeed bill would have given the rebuke so then they would have said look it's our enemy we don't have to listen to his rebuke and if moshe would have given them blessings so then the woman of the nations of the world would have said look it's not such a big deal of course he gets the blessings he loves them he he holds them he's he's trying to get you know he's on their good side they're on his good side so therefore he says nice things about them i want it to be clear that this is real i want their biggest enemy the one who wants to curse them abylam to give them blessings because this way we see that the blessings are true if my enemy says good things about me it must really be true and hashem daftka wanted my sheriff and who loves claudia's thrill to say negative things about them to give them rebuke because if someone who loves you gives you a rebuke it shows that it's real for you i remember when i was a young man i used to go every single week for voice lessons in brooklyn and a voice teacher in brooklyn and when i would go there i would visit my bubby hello show him and my bubby so she would make me a nice dinner she would make me food every single week it was just so wonderful we sit and we talk and i would ask her about her life in poland and what things were like when she was young and she was growing up and she would tell me stories and that was problem time i would ask her what was portland like when it was you know i'm saying it was a special connection that i had with my bubby and you know one of the things one of her appellations for me one of the ways that she would call me of course she would call me ziskai to sweetie she would call me mama le mamo la shyness my beloved one she would also call me a miskite and she would say i hate you and she would laugh you start laughing the biggest laugh that you ever laughed misky means disgusting one a muse you're my miskite i hate you and she would laugh when someone who loves you mamish with all of their heart tells you that they hate you you know that it's not true you know that they're it's it's it's a joke you know that's the deepest way once i mentioned this to a friend of mine someone who's a tremendous tomato tremendous knows everything all the time called tarakula and i mentioned this story to him and he said you know that's the deepest way of saying that you love someone telling them when they know that you mama just love them with all your heart you say i hate you and you laugh val it's the deepest type of saying that i love you moisture abandoned who loves kala israel so much much loves us and he wants the best for us and he wants us to know that we've done wrong he wants us to know that we've sinned he wants us to know we've made mistakes he wants us to be back in that relationship with the kardashian who hashem loves us so much and he wants us to know our milo he wants us to know that he loves us and how great we are so he has bilum say the negative things about i'm sorry yes billam say the positive things about cloudy stroll so we know that it's real he has moisture i've been who loves us so much tell us the things that we've done wrong and you know throughout this time we we're all facing an amazing challenge known arts israel now it's gotten much worse in the new york area it's gotten much better throughout other places it's different levels of challenge different levels of challenge with what's going on partners health etc but i i keep asking myself what is the message here what is saying to us because it feels like hashem is angry he's doing something to the whole world a very big din it's a very great judgment on the world hashem is upset what is the message what's getting struck you know what who brings the the plagues hashem brings the plagues upon the egyptians the first thing that gets struck is that is the is the nile river the source of their parnassa it's dumb it's turns into blood why is that where it starts it's their god it's their false god it's their belief that they don't need hashem that's the to me that's the first message here the first the thing that's gotten struck the most is our economy our reliance on ourselves and you know just like the cartoon i was thinking about this today just like the cartoon the necromancers of pharaoh they try with all their hearts to imitate it to show hey this is just this isn't god this is this is uh you know we can do the same thing so our magicians of today are trying to with stimulus plans and economic incentives and they're trying to make it seem like to dull us it's not really hashem it's okay you're gonna be okay we'll tide you over until it passes but hashem is saying something to us he's giving us rebuke he's giving us a rebuke and he's as i understand he's saying to us hey are you trusting in me are you trusting in your governments are you trusting in your sources of libel your jobs uh your government payments your stimulus stimulus plans who do you trust in where is your trust hashem is trying to wake us up and as dull as our minds might be so dulled by all the things around us in the social media and the endless endless news and negativity positivity negativity mostly negativity it's so easy to miss the rebuke to miss the rebuke and akhole says to us i love you that's why i rebuke you masha abano says to us i love you i care about you that's why i rebuke you you know what is hashem thinking now it's something oh this guy is he's done wrong you know i want to knock him out that's not what hashem was thinking hashem is thinking i love this guy he puts in front of himself just like mike says like he represents the way who sees the world looks at us and says of course they could make one he understands us we can make a mistake but how do we take it how do we think about it where's the moisture abandoned inside of our heads that's saying how can i be better how can i reconnect to akushborghu how can i re-access my relationship with hashem what's going on with my relationship with hashem how's my doppening he threw us out of the base the base canesis he let us back in it seems an artistral it's getting worse and worse as far as just being able to dive in and shul but you know what does that mean is there something wrong with my feeling i'm just doing it by rote i'm thinking about it can i say it slower can i dab on all the words better can i get there on time these are questions we need to ask ourselves we need to say what's the rebuke and recognize that it's from love there's so many opportunities the torah ela advarim these are the things these are the words this is our opportunities for growth these are our opportunities for closeness to akaddish baruch i want to bless you and ask you to bless me hashem should help us to recognize his rebukes to hear hey you've done this once you've done this twice let's get back let's let's stop angering the king we're kudos hashem is the king we are his beloved wife hashem should bless us that we should be able to hear the rebuke to recognize the mistakes that we've made should help us that we should be able to get back into that relationship to fix those mistakes and we should hear the blessings we should hear the blessings from those who are our enemies and we should hear the blessings ultimately even from those who are our friends who recognize the good things that we're doing should help us to indeed remove all those negative things and to be able to strengthen all the good things so thank you so much for listening have a wonderful show miss
