Ki Seitze - 'Floating' to Redemption

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with hari goldwag recorded with hashem's neverending assistance in ramaphishima israel 5781 2021. this week's partnership is partisan in our parsha we have the torah's command that if a person comes across a nest with a bird with a mother bird and baby birds or eggs that the person would like to take the baby birds so there's an obligation you come across this nest there's obligation to send away the mother bird before we take the baby birds or the eggs i'd like to share with you what the measure says about this and i'd like to share with you some thoughts that came up as i was studying this piece with my son moshidov and as i thought about it further some very interesting concepts that relate to the idea that the measure speaks about relate to the concept of of our longing for mashiach for the messiah to arrive and classically in the deeper sources the kansipur this nest sending where the mother bird is connected to the concept of meshiach of the messiah perhaps we can gain a little bit of an understanding a little bit of a depth into what that connection may be based on some of the words that the medrus uses and that the verses use in reference to this concept he said say the verse tells us the verse in chapter 22 verse 6 if you come across a bird's nest so there's an obligation to send away the mother bird now the message starts off with something which seems to be unconnected but hopefully as we'll see of course every single time we have a madrish it always needs to be understood why the metris uses one concept places it next to another concept the measure starts off talking about a teenage a child let's say one has a child who's born there's an obligation to circumcise the child let's say the child is born without a foreskin which does occur ordinarily you're not allowed on shabbos on the sabbath to cause any kind of a pets out of a blemish on the human body it can't cause blood to come out can't cut once one cannot cut oneself so it should be forbidden to perform a circumcision on shabbos however we find that one is obligated and permitted do a circumcision on the eighth day on shabbos however the question is if a child is born with without a foreskin so the obligation for circumcision is done differently there's something called that toughest damaris which is a small prick is made a little drop of blood is let out the question is is that permitted to be done on shabbos or not so we find that indeed there's an obligation to to allow that small drop of blood to come out even on shabbos according to the magish i don't know if we actually ask in this way the verse says you shall surely circumcise your children verse in genesis chapter 17 13 double language hemolymal teaches us that there's an obligation even on shabbos the message goes through a few different concepts that we learned out in regards to mila i don't want to get into the details of it so much but what i do want to read to you is what it says in the continuation or of yuden ben pazi reviewed in ben pazi says maksivitsiporah it says moshe rabbena moses was returning he had married sipora the daughter of israel he was returning with his two sons to egypt in order to be the goyo to be the jewish people's redeemer and they were stopped on the path and as the our sages tell us most roberto had not given a bris miller to his son he had not given a circumcision to his son and he was threatened by a spiritual being who was about to kill him prevent the entire goula of amistral what did sipora do his wife siporus saw that the problem was she intuitively knew based on the circumstances that the as the which i'm not going to get into she knew and that the problem was that she hadn't done that they hadn't done a bris so she jumped in and she did a brisk versus tell us and the verse finishes off and says hassan damen okay talks about the fact that sipora does the mila it's very interesting two points you see here number one is that it's sipora who does it sipora is the wife of moshe sipora interestingly her name means a bird and we're talking about the topic here is the bird that you're sending away the mother bird so it's very interesting it seems to be a connection and number two they're about to to to go down to be the goyo maestro abano is about to become the redeemer of the jewish people he was the messiah of his generation and on the way you got to make sure if you want to get to goola it sounds like from the magish if you want to get to google you have to make sure you do the bris there's something intimately connected between the concept of circumcision on the eighth day and the concept of the bris and there's also something about cpo or doing it perhaps we'll understand that soon now the measure comes and connects the concept of milo the the concept of circumcision to the concept of the kansipur of the bird sending away the mother bird how do we connect it as fast as says that the the reason that the child is circumcised on the eighth day was the eighth day why don't we circumcise him earlier why don't we circumcise him as soon as he's born the answer is because hashem had compassion upon a child let him get a little bit of strength he was just born recuperate a little from the birth on the eighth day hashem his rahu has compassion on his children we also find that god has compassion upon the animals we find that one does not bring a corbin a sacrifice before the the animal has reached the eighth day of its life there's a certain aspect of rachel in there we don't right away take away that animal to be sacrificed i'm sorry one more thing we're going to get back shortly to the birds we also find the concept of hashem's compassion that he says that you're not to take uh on one animal and the animal's child at the same time don't don't shake them don't uh sacrifice not sacrifice sorry don't shack them don't slaughter them on the same day you see this idea of hashem's compassion and just like hashem has compassion upon the animals hashem also has compassion upon the birds one of the deeper understandings of why hashem asks us to send away the mother bird is because hashem has compassion on the animals he has compassion on the birds okay there's a concept here of compassion compassion on the animals it's interesting there's also gomorrah and brachas the mafia talk about that person is not supposed to say that the concept behind this has to do with compassion if a person says that we quiet him down okay whatever the understanding of that is the gemara there we're not going to get into but what's interesting to me is the connection what is the connection between the concept of mila the concept of the circumcision and the concept of the tsipour the bird that we send away the mother bird okay we see in the mattress clearly that there's this connection what is the connection how does it connect perhaps also to the concept of gula as we saw by moshe albano and sippora the bird so i was i'm sorry the bird sipper was moshe's wife her name means a bird i was discussing this with my son moshe dove and i noticed that what is the root what is the root the two-letter root of the word bird the word bird in hebrew is tsipo it's ipora so sometimes there are three-letter roots sometimes there are two letter roots you see that let's say if means to tweet a bird tweets is a is a beep or a tweet so tzaf what is the word saf which is the root of the word sipor because it's sipper is really at safar whenever you have a rash at the end of a word it means it's something who does this a tsipour is is an animal that is tsaf what is the word saf mean the word saf means to float we're going to see a few different things about the word saf and we're going to come back to talking about how it how it connects to us how it connects to mashiach how it connects to the concept of the bris the circumcision how it connects to the concept of sending away the mother bird hopefully so the word saf the word saf means to float the word saw means the flow right you take something you put it under the water you take a piece of wood you put it on the water it floats to the top that's where zaf you have shaman you have oil you put it inside of water the shaman is safe it floats to the top comes to the top the word saf means to float and it's if you think about it and then before you speak about why is it that we have this commandment of of special compassion that we need to show to a bird why is it there that we learn to to be compassionate and one of the explanations is because the tsipor is a spiritual animal it's an animal that flies it flies through the air i was thinking at zippor is an animal that floats right that's why it's called a siport sapphore a floater a bird you watch a bird if they float in the air you can even have a bird that is just standing in one spot staying in one spot in the air because the wind is coming in and it just has its its wings outstretched and it stays in one spot it's soft it floats in the air it's a it represents floating in a spiritual sense that's what a bird is okay now hold on to that thought i'd like to share with you somewhere else where we see the word let's after and the concept in the in the context of the concept of mashiach of the messiah here's the majestic it says like this i'm our lawyer after one time i'm sorry let me let me let me back up one time they were walking in a particular uh valley they saw the sun rising they saw the day beginning to come up i'm sorry not the sun rising first they saw the light the beginning of the day the the light coming up um this is how the the redemption the jewish people is going to be you see the light coming up as the sun is rising you don't have to see the sun but you're watching the light coming up that's how mashiach the messiah is going to arrive it's going to be a gradual mitsaf cephas now the women have cephas is very interesting here because it's not so clear what cephas means we think mitsubis ordinarily means to to to tweet as we said before and and even them a forsham have a hard time with the word massachusetts and they try to change the gear saw but we're going to see that it's correct with zephys because the word mitsubs means to float it means to come up to the top dxiv when i sit in the darkness hashem is my light so the light comes that's how mashiach comes that's when the messiah arrives we sitting we're sitting in the darkness and the light is slowly arriving comes slowly slowly a drop at a time there's a spark right as the sun rises above the horizon there's a spark back then the light gets stronger and stronger it gets bigger and bigger and it brings that we see this in the story of the gula with esther mordecai the magic goes into that at length which we are not going to now when we look at this pastor which the measure springs is a possibility when i sit in darkness god is my light so looking at the puzzle we see an amazing thing i'm going to read one passage before and this is where we see the word the same word saf mitzves which means to float or to tweet to be bird-like and thinking about tweeting right i was thinking about it when you hear the the sound of a bird's whistle so it's a very high sound it floats above the other sounds it has a high frequency and as a result the sound is heard above other things so it's also an aspect of floating is in the tsuf in the tweeting but hear this hear this because it's amazing posix says vani bashem this is right before the puzzle listen carefully and i shall hope to god i will hope to the god of my salvation it's speaking about this is the verses in michael chapter 7 verses 7 and 8 speaking about our desire from and the way that we speak about the desire is atsape the root of atape is the same two letters there's it's very interesting what is the concept here see piece of yeshua that's one of the questions that they ask a person after they die they come to shemaim one of the first questions they asked did you hope were you waiting for was it constantly on your mind was it floating at the surface of your consciousness that sepia this is something i care about this is something i'm worried about this is something i'm thinking about where is moshiach gonna come ishmael says the verse if i am constantly thinking about mashiach yeshua i'm waiting it's on my mind it's it's floating on the top of my consciousness hashem is going to listen do not allow says the next verse do not allow my enemies to rejoice over me when i fall i get up [Music] hashem when i sit in the darkness hashem is my light so that's the verse which refers to the fact that there's a the passage says there's going to be a a floating up a rising of the sun a rising of the light because that's the atsaped that's this hope hope is rising hope rises okay now another thing another really a cool thing i was thinking about that i noticed is that these two letters of the root of the word suff which is a bird which is a desire uh let's sapot which is a let's say to tweet to to float etc the two letters are sadie and pay and as we spoke about in a previous podcast not so long ago these are two of the five letters that you have doubles right manspach sadi sadi sophie the the letter of david these two letters sadie and pay represent the coming of meshiach the gula the redemption the final redemption that we're waiting for how does it come it's it floats another place you see this these letters is discussing with my son is the word matsupun the word madspoon means conscience the person's conscience means inside of a person means inside of a person there is darkness i want to do what's what i feel like doing there's a conscience what is the conscience of a person it's a sense of what's right i know it's right even when i do what's wrong there's guilt i feel guilt guilt is good guilt is important it means that i have a conscience which says i recognize i'm doing something wrong that's the matpoon the light of hashem is the darkness that i'm in hashem early there's a light of my conscience which floats to the top of my consciousness that's also there within this idea now let's come back for a moment to the concept of the bris and the concept of the kansipur the sending away of the mother bird and we'll see perhaps we'll start to understand a bit of how this relates to what we've been speaking about the concept of the bris is on the eighth day the concept of the number eight always has to do we have seven which is teva seven which is the natural world seven which is the lower seven spheros and then you have the eighth aspect which is the transcendent aspect the shmini the eighth aspect shaman oil floats to the top as we said oil floats to the top is saf it floats to the top the eighth aspect is the transcendent aspect it's me alateva it's above nature that is represented by the word saf as well [Music] floating to the top right mashiach why is he called the messiah why is he called because they pour in him shaman he's mashuach he's anointed with oil which represents the fact that he floats to the top he's the one who includes all chloe saw within him he guides them all to do what's right that's the power of mashiach to draw the jewish people back to god to draw the entire world back to god to the focus the proper focus he raises the sun the sun rises because of shiach the sun rises the sun is the sun of consciousness the concept of mila on the eighth day circumcision means we take the animal drive which is really the creative force it's one of the most powerful forces in the world the desire to procreate the animal that seems to be an animal we take it and we lift it up interestingly hashem is on the people on the animals and the birds we are raising up we are raising up our animal nature it's off it flies it's stuff it floats up we're raising it up by dedicating ourselves through the mila to akadesparachu to using our capacities our procreative capacities in the proper way in the service of god because it can also be used in the but we need the conscience and the torah guides our consciousness it guides our minds it guides our ability to use it correctly because it can be used poorly look at the western world look how they use the procreative drive in a destructive way in relationships that are forbidden by the torah that are abomination of the torah or relationships that are inappropriate because they're between people who shouldn't be together the torah describes and and guides us and that's represented by the bris mila which is done on the eighth day because it needs to be transcendent let's take the aspect of ourselves which is the seven which is natural and to raise it up to the eighth aspect which is the supernatural and the rachel that that mercy of god has to be in the right way in the right frame in the right in the way that god commands us right because like you can have mercy on animals like and that can become more important than having mercy on people you might know this we might not know this but the germans the nazis were very compassionate to animals they had very strong laws to protect animals hitler himself was an animal lover but they could kill human beings cold-blooded murder millions and millions of jews six and a quarter million jews if it's not guided with the proper rahmanis right we did mention before right there's a there's a compassion hashem has for the mother bird send away the mother bird when you take the children but make sure you use it in the right way as we directed based on what the torah says because only the entire defines only god defines what is called rachel what's called compassion if the compassion is used wrong so then you just end up in the wrong place you end up being cruel to the kind and being kind to the cruel a person takes the food and he eats it he's taking this animal right he's taking the baby birds he's taking it away there needs to be compassion there there needs to be compassion there because you're allowed to take the animals we're allowed to use them in order to have the strength we're not to eat animals we're supposed to incorporate all the elements of reality into our service of god as long as it's directed properly it needs to be an aspect of rachel even as we're taking the baby birds there needs to be an aspect of rahme on the mother you can't take away the mother at the same time just like you can't take the you can't slaughter a a a parent and a child so to speak of an animal an animal and it's and it's uh young at the same time you can't do that it has to be directed properly that's the mud spoon that is the the conscience of a person raises up rises it comes to the forefront of the person's consciousness it's tough it comes to the top i thought it was interesting also mushroom it's called moshe kimi ramayana he was floating on the water in that little table that little uh boat call it a boat a little basket and she draws him out of the water i mean on my machine there he is and his wife's name is sipora which also means to float a bird that floats on the air moshe's one who floats on the water sipper's wife is someone who floats but it's that could see para who has that consciousness who has that eighth aspect which by the way is bina women are gifted with the extra being of the extra intuition they have that ability what happens when a person has intuition and intuition is is connected to the number eight to this concept of floating of of floating to the top of transcend you see a bigger picture right a person who has intuition they see the big picture the information is saf you see the big picture the sun is coming up is arriving the goo happens right before the ghoul happens it's def could see power it's specifically that bina that intuition of someone named sipora who stuff rises above who's able to see we need the mila we need the proper direction before we can have gaula before we can go down there and be the redeemers of the jewish people we need this we need sadie we need the floating we need the mat spoon we needed cp so we need to desire we need the conscience and we need that i really want this i want mashiach so much i want mashiach so much i want the messiah to arrive so much i want to see god revealed in the world and that consciousness to be revealed the sun to rise i think that we perhaps explained a bit of the connections here between this concept of bris and the kansipur an idea of the tsaf of floating i want to bless you and ask you to bless me should help us to be able to indeed hear the voice of our consciousness of our conscience in our consciousness it should float up when we're in the darkness we should be able to have that light of hashem when we're facing whatever challenges it might be proper direction of our eating abilities of our procreation abilities whatever it is when we're sitting in the darkness hashem should be that light for us guiding us and using them in the proper way and hashem should help us that we should be zaika to see the tsift tsuf the mitzvah is the sun rising of the gaola of that redemption which is so close thank you so much for
