you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded where
that shows never ending assistance in
Roma in which Israel 5777 2017
this week's parsha is partials a keV and
I'd like to share with you a theme which
we find in the middle of the parsha
in Chapter eleven parakeet olive so
can't s use you at olive your days
verses nine ten eleven and twelve and
has to do with the specialness the
uniqueness of Erica Sorel of the Land of
Israel and before I begin actually
reading for our parsha I just want to
share with you the idea which organ
Ocwen speaks about but if you look at
the tour as a whole you really see that
the foundation of the Torah the essence
of what the Torah is speaking about the
whole book of the Torah is getting the
Land of Israel were coming close to
where our whole info our whole
desire our whole wish all all that we
hope for is to get to the Land of Israel
see from the very beginning of the Torah
embraces wishes for the Kim Rashi tells
us watch the tours start with gracious
why's it torn up start with a photo
shows a long time as you start with the
creation of the world tour is not just a
storybook or it's not a storybook at all
it's really so it's a law book the
taurah means the law so it should start
our auditions allah hand the first
commandment first myth so which is given
to the entire jewish people which is an
obligation to count the to have the
lunar calendar to count the Jewish year
the Jewish calendar based on the moon so
why did tour not start that sera she
tells us at the very beginning of
gracious that a Shem wanted to show that
he created the world and that no nation
should say at least in my time that you
are robbers you're coming in to try to
steal the Land of Israel from whoever it
is that was there before you rather she
um created the entire world and Isham
gives each place to whom he wishes some
wishes to give a line of Israel to the
Jewish people so from the very beginning
Latour you see that Avram Aveeno who's
the progenitor of the Jewish people the
first of the Jewish people
God says unless I call Mexico
go to the land I'm going to show you go
to air mm land of Israel the acre the
the main purpose of Abraham was
fulfilled in Israel the Jewish people's
main purpose is fulfilled in Israel the
entire Torah the Jewish people are
trying to get to the Land of Israel
they're walking through the wilderness
much are vain and wishes with all this
heart that you can enter the line of
Israel the Jewish people do finally get
to the Land of Israel in the culmination
of the Torah or the beginning of say for
yahushua so the tour is all about
getting to israel it's our Shiva it's
our wish it's our hope it's our love the
Jewish people always have been waiting
for that moment when we could re-enter
the land we could come out of the Exile
return to the Land of Israel to the
point where because I'll tell us if they
just tell us that the significance the
Land of Israel the commandments that are
fulfilled in the Land of Israel when we
do a mitzvah an artist relics different
then when we do them in certain crystal
arts outside of Israel as I'll say
commuted are the hustlers diamonds let
me shine lilica over lives outside of
Israel it's as if you don't have a God
and that means that the service of a son
that we do energy so it's different what
is special about our to show what is
unique about the Land of Israel so I'd
like to read you from some soaking
actually starting with verse 8 since in
chapter 11 in our partial which marching
with comments wash our nikuman topically
on you shall keep the commandment which
I'm which I'm commanding you today
lamont a Zulu Boston originally starts
in order that you become strong and you
come and you inherit the land but the
reason that the Canaanites were thrown
out of the line of Israel's because
there are many sins this caused the
murder the Jewish people have to be able
to live in our to throw it in the merit
of the commandments fulfilling the
mistress of ash am sure that I remember
Larissa and you will inherit the land
that you're going over there to inherit
verse 9 aman tye rakuyo melanoma and in
order that you have long days on the
land change some lovely thick and that
God promised to your forefathers to the
patriarchs let's say slow Hamels arm to
give to them into this
so their seed there's the vodka lavash
the Torah refers to the beauty of the
land of Israel as a land flowing with
milk and honey verse 10 beginning of XI
ers
a Sheraton a cabochon Arista there's a
difference between the Land of Israel
and the land of Egypt the Land of Israel
is different what's special about our
tea stall what is the my lover see so
what is the advantage over land of Egypt
here's Ashutosh on larisa lands which
you are coming to inherit their lake
heritance rhyming it's not like Egypt
I'll show you it's awesome a show that
you left from there I share teaser as
Erica that in in a land of Egypt what
happens you plant the seeds sureties
rods are from each keys of rahugana
Yorick and how does the how did the
seeds grow how does the water come it
comes because the Nile River overflows
there's irrigation ditches but it comes
through the efforts of the human being
and it comes
not because of rain waters verse 11 and
this is what's special Verity Sorel
amazing thing need to understand words
the depth of this idea what is it are
coming to teach us or this Martha shot
i'm-i'm-i'm shaman Arista the land to
which you are going to inherit and it's
higher removal quois it's a land that
has many many mountains and many valleys
from tar shale 92 million where does it
get its water from it's not from a Nile
River it's not from some irrigation
dishes but rather it comes from the from
the heaven the water comes from the
heavens comes from rain first 12 Eric
Teixeira Shama like a hard Irish I saw
amazing thing Hashem is constantly
searching in the land he's David she's
looking there for something we're gonna
see what what that means tell me the
National accessible amazing thing
Shems eyes are always looking at the
Land of Israel the ratio session of
Morocco Shona
from the beginning of the year until the
end of the year throughout the year
throughout all of time summer is always
looking closely at our to throw so what
does this mean what is the idea here so
I'd like to reach you
we'll see them in Russian so the verse
say that it's a land that Shem is
searching out Sharon look at the dairy
she saw I like color it is too garish
the verse tells us behold all of the
land's a Shem looks a national search
engine amar I'm Terrell Eric Louis
Licari aho in a dairy shall I saw in
some way we need to understand what the
idea is but in some way it's as if
Hashem is only looking at art Israel is
a Jewish inertia there should color it
this emo amazing thing and we'll see
this solution of the mentorships it's
just beautiful that when a Shem looks at
and searches the land of Israel so
there's also searching that occurs as a
result or perhaps via the Land of Israel
for all of the lands how many national
cackle mobile suits means Hashem eyes
are constantly on the Land of Israel
their eyes might recall to see what does
the Land of Israel need well College
book series and to renew the decrees you
can Latoya Ethan Laura who lay these
Rosh Hashanah sometimes our good decrees
and sometimes having forbid there are
decrees that aren't as good and the
verse finishes off with Mauritius has
shown up from the beginning of the air
until the end of the year and Rashi
tells us minister Shana need they might
have is safer that the judgment Shem
when is the Shem doing history show and
it's a Shem involved in this searching
and trying to understand and looking at
air to tell the plan of Israel having
summer Shoshanna now what is the idea
what is the specialness of our deceased
relish Shem is looking at this place in
a unique way in an unusual way
like this read with you too much Russian
and share with you a thought as a depth
of what the measure should sing what did
these Midrash m are just that really an
expansion of what Rashi said when she
was quoting from using duration
association Leo Durocher service he is a
beloved - if the true - um only looks at
the line of Israel Shem doesn't look at
any other lands or the claritin see the
rich God looks at every land God is
constantly seeking searching judging
trying to see what's going on there she
never Humpty RL Eric's leash was the
same versus it's run she rushing what
the same this measures via show me show
you Tamil I'm here to share some cattle
delicious so so what is the verse mean
if other verses in the cattle she was
looking at all of the land a Shem is
bringing rain upon all of the lands so
what does it mean that Hashem is looking
specifically at the Land of Israel
look II vehicle and I shall I saw a
certain sense of Shem is only looking at
the Land of Israel
we shall jury she shudders shudders
color at this EEMA but I got by the way
when sham looks a tear to throw the
effect is she looks at all of the way
ends what does that mean let's see close
the bat-armor it's similar way we find
the verse says in a lie you know below
you Sean show Mary strong
God does not slumber God is less sleep
he is the keeper he's the protector of
Israel if he is table vadhu shimon where
i shall only takes care of the jewish
people and only takes care of the people
of Israel
another photo showing us a call finally
God takes care of every one of
everything Shannon Russia BIOS a nebbish
call Holly Rock call this our universal
job says chapter 12 verse 10 that God
within his hands God's got a whole world
in his hands right he has the souls of
every living creature the spirit of all
people Shem is protecting them Michonne
takes care of everyone so what does it
mean that shamans call - I'm URL keeper
of Israel the protector of the people of
Israel is it exclusive is it not
exclusive
what sort of a show you throw give you a
holler Shana Charlie Sorel as it were I
shall only protect the people of Israel
Ruby she feels Mearsheimer on showing us
Kali maíam amazing thing we need to
understand what this means and as a
result of the fact that Hashem is
protecting the Jewish people by the way
he also protects all the people in the
world what is the concept here what is
the idea here
and why is this idea being taught in the
context
to travel the land of Israel okay one
more piece in the mesh number Alka
recession Marcella shock - rithika the
verse tells us that shams desires his
land God desires the land of Israel
understand the concept of desire so with
the left ACOG start earning what is the
idea that Shem desires his land and he
returns those who are captives among the
people of Jacob zoic Asif this is what
the verse means when it said that is not
shown like if a darish I said Tommy day
national Cahaba this is the land that
Hashem is searching through the eyes of
God are constantly upon it constantly
upon line of Israel well he fatal mishap
name is taka God is constantly turning
things around looking carefully nice and
a neva odds mancha terrassa she was
looking at it waiting for the time when
he will be appeased
Tirat arose from Rutzen the language of
desire she wants it from once learn of
his russian want things to be correct
and proper in the land of israel right
the Torah tells us we need to do the
mixes if we don't perform the
commandments properly have him forbid
the Jewish people could be thrown out of
the Land of Israel it so happened in the
past so my seller could borrow cool so a
shamans waiting for the works the
actions of the people of Israel within
the Land of Israel to be done
l'chaim sure mine for God's sake mrs.
Chen studies to Allah God is looking for
waiting for the Jewish people to fulfill
the commandments might see how her
Meister's was weakened by iblees if
they're properly taking off the tides
which is a myth up deliver arts which is
the command which is dependent upon the
Land of Israel and they're keeping
shmita
neova the Jubilee year the year where
the land is supposed to lie fallow every
seven years politicians table about the
show and all of the commandments the
Jewish people were commanded at that
time Murat semi-salic Elisha Baku so
then the result is that the actions of
the Jewish people are desired
Cain Weimer on to tarts a shop see Sarah
we find it's on same language of desire
that when the usual do not fulfill the
menses then I'll fulfill shmita so then
when they're not there so then the land
will have what it means that hat it will
receive the Russell the desire people
over t /m our self as other verse tells
us that Hashem desired your land so we
read this and we say what's the idea
here what is the concept of desire of
rut so what does that cows are connected
the Land of Israel has that connected to
the Jewish people doing the commandments
being a sustained Israel nothing for an
of Israel what is this idea of ruts on
this idea of desire Shem is desiring the
land is desiring what is this concept
one last little piece here in the
measure by the way all of these concepts
these nutritional have the reading from
this week is I sermons Russian beautiful
collection of different magician Laszlo
peacetime international ken kombo
constantly the eyes of God are upon the
line of Israel Cosabella diner one verse
says coming in the air Charlotte a table
it God's eyes are constantly on one of
Israel husband omarama or it said he
rose the gagarin me Hashanah godly to
the entire land keep steady skirmish
next to Mahalo so how will these two
verses be fulfilled cachet thrill
isomers initial Malcolm tell me they
shall okay how about I'm sorry
this theory here is the contradiction
here is that God looks at it which
implies the fact that asha miss Hattie
about the landing that God brings
blessings upon the land but the second
verse says he looks at the land and it
shakes it shakes it sounds like there's
judgment it sounds like there's din
sounds like there is destruction
difficulties so q surely some potential
Macomb when the Jewish people do the
will of Hashem
coming in a show like a hobo guys are
looking at it in a positive way a good
way in a nice akin they don't become
damaged they don't become there's no
destruction Shamian selected seneschal
mark i'm when the Jews are not
fulfilling a Shems will marvel ret rod
so a sham
to the land have them for billionaires
there's a trembling there's a fear
there's danger there's judgement okay so
let's try to understand what's going on
here what is this special judgement
about our to throw what is it special
looking that's going on here how does it
affect all the other places so to
understand what's going on here
the the foundation here is the concept
of rut zone its concept of desire what
is rut zone what is desire if we think
about it the rut zone the desire that a
person has percent of the true desire a
real wish a real aspiration a real
Russell so the Russell beautiful
interesting word the word rut zone is
ruts word ruts and to run there's a
running ruts on is something that
catapults the desire is that which
catapulted person to do a certain action
person has a resin has a desire to put
out partial podcasts but out shear them
every single week so that desire will
catapult that person to have to find
advert or at finding the content to
speak about and the result will be there
will be a partial podcast every week and
that rut zone is constantly causing him
to run it's moving him it's a it's a
it's an engine person as a ruttin very
resilient person as a desire to come
close to God that's going to just going
to push him it's going to be seen on all
this actual person has a desire to make
a lot of money as can be seen in his
actions ruts on is the is the motor it's
the mania is that which causes all of
the results all of that which it's like
the we picturing in this big run in the
farm accusation speak about ruts on as
being over here on the place of the
tefillin the the ruts on it's the source
it's a it's beyond even the mind the
mind is just the thoughts of a person
but what's even before the thoughts what
motivates the thoughts what moves the
thoughts what moves the heart what moves
the body is ruts on its desire that's
the foundation here that's the
foundation on the concept of rut zone
and now in a similar way in a similar
a we spoke about in the past concepts of
the kylo the kylo is the all-inclusive
aspect and it's intimately connected to
the put to the idea of rust own rust own
is the point which is above which
includes all of the entire physical body
all the thoughts of a person all the
actions of the limbs of a person like we
said there's a concert of the coal which
is the Jewish people it's called the
coil you Sorrell the Jewish people is
the nation that includes all of the
other nations within it just like Jakov
OB no it's the one which includes all of
his seventy offspring the Jewish people
is the one nation which includes all of
the 70 nations when the Jewish people
are doing a ruts in our Shem when Klaus
I was focused and their rut zone their
will it's a Shems will then the result
is that they act they move forward their
actions have to do with Hashem bring
them into the world and the result of
that is all inclusive it affects all of
the nations of the world and it and it
it manifests itself it expresses itself
in the actions of the nations and this
is on a spiritual level it's on a simple
level as well because they see what
we're doing and it affects them and we
are wherever we are in though in the
world we affect all the nations around
us but it's also true on a spiritual
level that whatever we do in every way
if I perform a missile by myself and
nobody knows about it it also has a
ripple effect on a spiritual level
because all of our souls are connected
and so all the Jewish people are
connected as one soul and we are the
inclusive aspect the higher aspect or
the rut zone the hotter aspect of its
villain point of all the nations of the
world and so what we do affects all of
the nations of the world and in a
parallel way eros Estrela is the kind of
the Land of Israel is the all-inclusive
aspect of the entire world whatever you
see happening in Israel has a ripple
effect on the entire world and that's
true in a simple sense and you can read
the news and you can see that whatever
happens in Israel starts to happen
outside of Israel
both for good and in an egg ative way
heaven forbid and again it's true in a
spiritual sense whatever happens in
Israel spiritually wherever we're
holding spiritually that has a ripple
effect as well on the entire world
throughout the entire world to the
degree that we are manifesting a sham
bringing em into our lives into the
world into the Land of Israel it goes
out into the entire world and so now I
begin to have an understanding why is it
that the Jew needs to be an artist all
because this is the place where we are
meant to be the Jewish people are the
aspect of the Kolo and our actions
affect everyone else and where is that
spiritual power
focused it's focused here in the Land of
Israel this is the place which is the
coil which which corresponds to the
rustle the desire that that has that
ripple effect on everything else in the
world that has that effect on the
thoughts of the world
the thoughts of mankind the actions of
mankind that's our two shots the Land of
Israel
air destruction like castor darisha so
solarium is looking at why does he look
at it so specifically and what is the
message mean when it said that when a
Shem looks at it and gives rein to
excess roe
he also thereby along the way gives rein
to all the other nations such AM judges
the Jewish people by the way a Shem also
judges all of the other nations Rosh
Hashana notice it's the head of the year
it's at top aspect it's the place of rut
zone it's the place where the entire
world is judged well who is judge first
the Jewish people are judge first
because we are the pinnacle of humanity
we are the the spiritual aspect of Kyle
the all-inclusive aspect of humanity so
when we are judged the ripple effect is
that all of the world is judged when
there when Hashem brings rain Shem
brings rain so it affects artists role
and it affects the entire world
Prince to tell is that special place and
notice what is the difference between
rain versus irrigation so the Nile River
was flow
and get whatever you need cookie very
senior they have to do with my power the
rain means I'm connected to a share my
two prayers God please send the rain
there's nothing that I can do about it
it's only Hashem and it comes up from
the heavens down onto my head right
that's Matar shemin's st. elmo's raha
machi Pharrell Kumar and I guess one
comes down from the heaven onto the
earth comes from a higher place all
inclusive shall mine toilet comes down
and it affects the entire artists row
it's not in specific places there's a
piece of the magistrate in review which
is because about the difference between
arity Sorrell and mitzraim that Egypt
was only in specific places and it was
only in the lower places that you can
have the water but as you stroll the
Milo the beauty of our sixth row is that
the rain comes down from above and it
affects the entire artists role no
matter where you are the entirety Cyril
gets that rain it affects the entire
place and the same way whatever rains in
Israel the judgment that happens the
goodness that a Shem has the ruts own
the desire that a Shem has in the Jewish
people the mixes that are commanded has
a ripple effect like the rustle like the
thought the desire of a person that
desire which affects his thoughts and
affects his actions so to all that
happens in the Land of Israel affect
entire world there's an amazing deep
idea as many different ramifications but
I want to bless you and I ask you to
bless me as well shrim should help us to
that our thoughts our designs are ruts
on whether we're in Israel whether we're
outside of Israel our Rutzen should be
far too strong our desire our thoughts
our hopes our aspirations should be to
live in Israel whether we can at this
time or not but that's the main place to
be that's the source of rottenness the
place we have that mania that which
motivates us to move to come closer Shem
to take action to think spiritual
thoughts to take spiritual actions some
should help us to be able to have those
thoughts have those bizarre Zushi puts
those aspirations for spirituality for
the Land of Israel for that place or
Shem looks at and it has a
effect which should help us that we
should indeed do good deeds and think
good thoughts and take good actions and
have a ripple effect on ourselves on all
those around us and on the entire world
