Emor - Sevenfold Joy

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with a Shems never-ending assistance in Rome on patient over to 780 2020 this week's partial partial M or in our partial besides for other things of course many different topics but we have the Moya dinoshona the Torah enumerates and instructs us in regards to the different holidays that we have throughout the year the obligations that we have on those holidays and I must admit that I am partial to the holiday of Circus which we have of course after Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur and that holiday we sit in our suckas and our booths we bring the army name the four species and I'd like to show you a thought that's here and before I do I just want to mention that as we look at the calendar of the year as we look at the way that Kailash for who set up our gear for us we have 12 months in a year and really the truth is that these 12 months are two sets of six and just like each week we have six days and then we have the seventh day which is Shabbos so in the in the months of the year we also have six months then the seventh month which is the beginning of the next series of six that Sabbath is the completion it's the Shabbos so we have the six months from Nissan until ll so we have those six months starting with pacesetter you're the month of Pesach and then it leads up to the culmination the Shabbos so to speak which is the seventh month which is Tishrei and we have all of our young and tighean we have our Shoshanna Yom Kippur so case as we mentioned and then we count again another six months six months from Tishrei through a door and Arab shabbos so to speak is odder when we have poor him and then Shabbos again is when we have Pesach the month of Nisan okay so we have a series of months and it's important to understand we are now in ER which is the second day we had Sunday which was so to speak we had Pesach we had those those times and now we're in the second day of the week and we count all the way till we get to Tishrei so my point is that it's certainly appropriate and important to think about as we're headed through the days of the week through the months of the year headed back towards Tischler headed back towards Lucas it's important to speak about and think about these ideas because all the times are connected we know there is a concept of the connection between pesach plush upshot there's a connection between Pesach and choice we're counting now that down the oh man we're counting 250 days till we get to shoes and we also have a connection between Pesach and circus I mean shots are coming saucer is the chimera tells us in suka there's a connection and they're both on the 15th day of the month and they're both in so to speak the 7th month of a cycle so now let's see something very interesting about the mitzvot on circus one of the myths is Lukaku mocha memory Shane so there's an obligation there's an obligation to bring these four different species bring them together gather them together creates Hadar the citron the essrig Cowboys tomorrow and we need to bring the lulav the palm branch enough it's obvious our Enoch Hall and we bring the willow branch as well as the as well as the help me out here our v8 sava it's just a willow branch our vein alcohol is the I'm losing my English here we've spent on a national championship a salmon you bring these four different species and the we are to rejoice in front of shun for seven days now what is the idea here behind this Mitzvah one of the many ideas we're gonna discuss here in the mesh the mesh which tells us brings this possible family shine and it says like this Deborah Kerr save a smokeless the Pacific says it's a puzzle game to Hillerman in psalms chapter 16 verse 11 it says tidy a niara hi I'm Service McCoy's teach me the way of life service McCoy fill me up with joy the word Silva word server which means to feel satiety to feel satiated that word also is Sheva it's the same letters as the word Sheva which means 7lt carry cane Allah Sheva smokeless don't read my house full of the word Silva is with a sin with the dot on the left side don't read it service mother is full but rather Sheva smokeless there are seven rejoice things that we do a - ever mr. Shiva these are the seven commandments that we have on on yontiff of suka so hey and these are they are bomb inertia by lulav we have four out of the seven are the four species of the lulav the suka hagigah this simcha what are the other three we have the mid so of we have the four the lulav we have the midst of suka where the myths are bring our karma kagyu missus of bringing Xiaomei simcha the special car bonus that they note our special joy in yontiff very interesting so you want to know what it means to feel full what does it mean to feel full to be full of joy it means to be full of spiritual acquisitions these seven special mitzvahs that we have an opportunity on circus to encounter and to use the Gemara wants to understand something very interesting and i'm bait i'm starting to come are the measures and I'm basing my understanding on based on a few different portion here on the measure the measure says like this in sim column ACOG ego and cog Eagle I'm a simcha we have two core bonus that we bring we bring a karmic Aggie go and bring a Carmen Xiaomi simcha both of these car bunnies are Shlomi it's a certain type of Corbin and sacrifice which was brought half of which was eaten by the Bilaam by the person who brought the sacrifice and half of which was consumed on the altar okay so we have these two different car bonus Giga which is a celebratory one that's to do with the hag and one is just called Sami simcha rejoicing these Corbin that was brought to rejoice what is the idea these two car bonus why do we need both of them for or as the ATI so it explains if we look at the circum it's very interesting the circum have stopped already talking about the cost of the regular mitzvahs of so kiss this it started to talk about the core bonus and in the middle of speaking about the car bonus it interjects the halacha of the Loula that we need to bring these four different species the question is what is the idea of the fact that the tourist sticks in the middle between the hug ego and the Xiaomi simcha why is it stick in the middle the midst the obligation of the four species I'm ready Ivan Yavin says a very interesting nationalist name significance weights not dying because it's a muscle it's an analogy to two people who came for a judgement they had some kind of they had some kind of argument and they wanted to be judged and they brought it to a court lesson on yaadon man who not saw it's not clear who won the court case when they walk out allamanda no Civ boy on Bo day alone yeah didn't who need sir kiya we can tell who won by the fact that used to be as the enough Yosef explains it used to be that when a person would go for a judgement I'm sorry when you have armies going out for some kind of move says some kind of altercation so they would come if they won the altercation if they won that part of the battle so then they would come back and they would be carrying palm branches that was what was done so if you want to know who won if you wonder who won the judgment when these two people came in to the court case you can see by the fact that somebody walks out maybe maybe it's a muscle it's a with a smile on their face you can see who won it's it's clear to see used to be you could see who won the battle based on the fact that he was carrying back these palm wrenches cockys trouble mister island this hasn't Magister a very interesting thing it's the same thing with the Jewish people and the nations of the world buying if now kodesh broke well I'm reading it slightly different than the way it's written here because there's a different gear saw and enough Yosef which i think is correct they people and the nations of the world come in and from Kadesh go home for dinner on Rosh Hashanah the Jewish people come in for lesson on yaadon - ah okay the Jewish people say hey we've been mistreated by the nations of the world the initials of the world say well the Jews haven't lived up to their spiritual potential they haven't guided us properly and there's a back and forth between these two balli Dean between the nations of the world and the Jewish people so less than any yard in mine it's up we don't know who won okay and I'm saying this based on the fact that the previous one you could you could also understand this I mean that both of the Jewish people are judged separately from the Ummah asylum from the nations of the world and but it's clear that the measure should saying that there's some kind of some kind of court case between them so you don't know who won Alabama she's right smoked necklace bar who how do we know who won we can tell who won by the fact that what is the Jewish people do immediately after Russia she on Yom Kippur after these days of judgment yikes knock Ibaka Lula famous forgive me are done they walk out with the victory March with the with the tools of victory they have their loo love him they have their is running they have the for meaning they have the arboretum on the end of the Israeli units are higher so then we know that the Jewish people have succeeded that we have proven that we are the ones who have won we've won this court case the fuel equation Mazda you still remember the hemlock alchemy Mauritian that's what most Charmin says make sure you take the ARB Amin and bring the arboretum when you bring us our Miam they function to show that you have succeeded very interesting because the two parts of the minute measures seem to be saying two different things the first part is talking about the simcha the second part is talking about the mitzvahs what's the idea so the idea here is that there's two parts there's this there's the hagigah there's the core the carbon Hagen is a carbon shell me simcha and the fact that we come out with our love Amanda story we come out with a homonym is a way of us expressing the fact that we know that we have one so to speak we know that we've won that are the argument within the court and that we are the winners because Sparkle has given us a good judgment for this year and we bring therefore being a carbon Xiaomi simcha in other words the Shami simcha which the Torah describes afterwards the special carbon which is brought for joy is an expression of the fact that we know it's an outcome of the fact that we have brought these this love and as from these four meaning therefore we can bring the shamisen co2 carbon which recognizes our extreme joy and our needs aho our victory over the nations of the world so it's a very powerful idea it's a very fundamental idea and understanding what's going on mr. Shyam kipper was understanding in general what's going on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur not just in regards to our personal judgment and the judgment of the Jewish people but there's a court case there's a there's a there's an interaction between us and them asylum you can look at the world stage and see how the world sort of speaks so to speak comes in judgment on the Jewish people says you can't have your land you can't annex the universe around dude and Samaria you can this you can't that you guys are not okay you guys are you know even though we here we are defending ourselves and standing up for what's right coming back to the line of artists throughout to the Land of Israel as Hashem has promised the fact is though we see we get it we get a we get from our mitzvahs it's the Misses themselves it's the commandments themselves that when we keep them properly when we show our dedication to our kodesh Brock will show that we are indeed doing the will of Hashem that is what proves to the world that's how we step out of our court case so to speak and say look I'm sorry to tell you this but God says we are the chosen people we are the ones who belong here we haven't walked in here because we're conquerors we've come here because I could wish for who is giving us back the land emeritus row okay so that's not explicit in the measures here but I'm saying in theory we can see that this is the idea that's coming out okay there's another major issue a little bit farther along which is also connected and very interesting they were out here look - a commemoration another idea had that would exceed this is what the verse means when it says y'all I said I have a collar boy passage says we say it every Friday night yellow is so Divac Allah sure boy there will be a rejoicing of the fields and all that's in it yeah laser die what is it what is the rejoicing of the fields xylem this is the world chand mr may he be hoist ambassador the first refers to the fact the kind in heaven were splitting up the earth this one's gonna take the Matan tolling this wanting to take the car cut this is going to take the the movable objects this is what is going to take the ownership of the land itself etc but you see that the word saga is referred - is the word that references the world okay yeah Lisa died there's a rejoicing there's a rejoicing and a praising of a sham that's done by the world Kalash our boy in a breeze what does it mean all of those within it it's a reference to the creations all of the human beings commander adama a sham hearts Malaya as a verse says the earth and all that's in it belong to God as your honor knew I'd say how you are very interesting the verse tells us that there will be a song of praise which will be stated which will be sung by all of the trees all right say you are the trees of the the trees of the forest so now there's two different verses one of them says over here call let's say I'll call out say you are all of the trees of the of the forest this Pacific endeavor ahuyama me says I'd say I are doesn't say the word cause that you are so what is it coming to teach us why is the verse here add the word call all of the trees of the forest over Bianca hi yeah I've a call I'd say hi our beautiful thing there is the yard there's the forest and there's all the trees of the yard all the trees of the forest hey Yara a Liana Ilana's Ison Paris there's two different types of trees so born to understand this so it's very deep it's very beautiful there's a type of tree which produces fruit and there's a type of tree call out say I really don't Shana nice in Paris the pus the push-ups shot of the Sun when we refer to a forest we talk about the trees that we benefit from we benefit mainly from the trees that bear fruit we enjoy their fruits they nourish us they give us life but now there are also other trees Colette Cir means all the trees of the forest praise Hashem as it were even those trees that do not bear fruit even those trees that do not have any things so to speak that we clearly benefit from they also praised a Shem meaning they also fulfill their purpose so the lift name me lift nation they do this in front of Hashem they praise God and they'd say sieve explains that this is a reference to the arbor mean if we look at the army the four species so there are two that have fruits the s3 itself obviously there's citron itself is a fruit interestingly it's a beautiful fruit it happens to be the fruit inside is sour and so it tastes like a lemon then we have the lulav which bears fruit which bears the tomorrow and the dates then we have the two other ones the willow and the willow branches darvis the hadass him I'm still blanking on that word the willow branches and the the Hadassah and Revis excuse me so we have those two which do not bear any fruits that are edible okay but the idea here is and unfortunate explained this but as we see from other places that there each of the different elements of the aramean express the different types of people that there are in the Jewish people there are those who bear fruit there's that sadek the citron represents the sonic who he bears fruit he does righteous deeds he teaches others he learns he he inspires other people his mitzvahs the commandments that he fulfils have an impact on the world at large on us in a spiritual way but also in a physical way and then we have those who they don't themselves per se produce crews maybe they have children who are tell me how calm you are or connected to spirituality the lulu lululu represents that then each of the different other aspects they themselves don't have fruits they don't have something that necessarily benefits others directly but yet they are also essential and important in a Shems plan the Jewish people as because I'll tell us we know from our Shoshana we eat the remind me eat the pomegranate because it's more like Missy even though even though loli is a Jew even the Jew doesn't per se he's not a Torah scholar he might not be somebody who's you know well versed in the Holocaust but even though his Jews are Molly mrs. karey minam Lejeune knows that he's supposed to give sadaqa charity the Jew knows that he's supposed to be to be upstanding he's supposed to be honest etc even the people who may not be the ideal the highest on the highest virtual level yet they still also praise Hashem they also have a spiritual component to their lives okay so the the cockamamie oration represents this idea as well we take these four Menem and it protects the Jewish people right what is the idea of judgment coming back to the previous idea what his idea of judgment what his idea you mean why don't you come to a court hey I say that I he borrowed the money from me he says he didn't but we know the truth the idea the court the idea the court is indeed to bring out the truth to bring out the reality and to stamp it and to show it that this is what's going on in the world this is the true reality of the world so when the Jewish people come in front of uh Kodesh miroku on Rosh Hashanah and the nations of the world come in front of a God on Rosh Hashanah and they state their case and the Jewish people come out Zakai they they show that we are meritorious there's a statement of truth there's a statement of reality which is what we're waiting for that's the UM I did a goggle what are we waiting for mashach for what happens when the Messiah arrives everybody knows the truth and one will recognize that all along the Jewish people have been right all along the Jews people were persecuted because they were right because others were jealous of them because others wanted to claim that they had been become the chosen nation now whatever the reason was but the Jewish people it will be shown when Messiah comes there will be a great judgment and the truth will come out and so this is also true in regards to the individuals of the Jewish people when we bring the Arve meaning there's a statement that this is who we are this is who the Jewish people as we are a conglomeration we are bringing together all the different aspects those who seem to produce food those who don't seem to produce fruit all of these indeed in truth are they sing these songs as you're out of court say you are the finish em all the different fruits all the trees I'm sorry whether they produce fruit or not they sing the praises of God the essence of who they are is that we are in truth the court comes out with their sack comes out with their final judgment that the Jewish people are singers cause you're around a new color there you are we are the ones who sing the praises of Hashem Kivar boy tourettes windows a sham come for a judgment says the magic Rosh Hashana guy Mikey pour him you should put a veil Botanica I mean they may shorten and the measures finishes off by saying that a sham judges all of those in the world and he judges them straightly and fairly so the idea here in the end of the measure says unfortunately explain it goes back to the previous maverick measures that we can we mention the beginning which is that there's a judgement there's a statement of truth we come out we come out I'll rush Hashanah Yom Kippur with a joy what is the simcha and this thing has expressed in the lulav and the s organist expressed in the court bonus that we bring and it's expressed in the fact that we sit in the sucker but what is the joy the joy is that what is our essence who are we what are we about we are about singing taco de barro who we're about even if we're not the holiest person we're not the most spiritual person but at our essence each one of us when you tear away the layers and you look inside we're Molly mrs. carry mine we are filled with missus like there are so many seeds inside of the pomegranate we also are filled with so much spirituality with so much connection to God so much desire to connect to connect hashem even if we may not per se have accomplished it completely but that is who we really are and that's what I should Shana and Yom Kippur and suka SAR about and that's where we're headed okay that's where we're always headed because each part of the year as we said at the beginning is a lead-up to the next part of the yeren each part of then when we get to the next part it's lead-up to the next part of the year so here we are having gained an amazing amount from Pesach heading into shwoo is Kabbalah cetera but it's what's it all about and we're gonna head through the months of Thomas and ah've and we're gonna more the destruction to be some mikdash and we're gonna come in with an ela die DVD ideally to an L and then we're gonna have a rush Hashanah again an amazing opportunity for closeness to God that's what it all comes down to that's the focus of our lives it's the focus of every moment of every day of every month the focus is care vasilich in coming close to God how can we fulfill his Commandments how can we come closer to him how can we learn more Tyra how can we indeed produce more fruits how can we be like the essrig how can we be like the tomorrow layva Halle via Shumacher man how can we have one heart to occur - for who and how can we recognize that even we're not per se doing the most that we can but still what is the essence of who we are the essence of who we are is the singers who sing to Akhilesh bar who I want to bless you and I ask you to bless me back a Shem should help us that we should recognize and we should take the opportunities that present themselves all the time in front of us every single day every single month lead up to we're bringing us to that mouth lustrum I'm that day when I could have sprung who indeed will reign over the entire world but even if it's not yet today even if it's not yet this year who knows maybe it will be but even if that day that eternal day is not yet but we need to know that indeed Hashem will help us to understand that's my blessing Hashem will help us understand that every single day is a lead up to that great day indeed when we will sing the ultimate praises because Marco thank you so much for listening have
