Ari Goldwag - Ki Sisa - Choosing Greatness

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with a Shems never-ending assistance in reverse image Israel 5777 2017 this week's parsha gazpachos Kisa and while it's customary to speak about the Haida Eagle the sin of the golden calf I'd like to share with you a completely different idea which is connected to a Midrash I'm at the very beginning of the parsha the verse speaks of a Veda rush em God spoke to Moses and he said Raina corrupt a karate wishing of it Sal and he said see that when it comes to the milettis himesh come when it comes to the construction of the tabernacle that place where God's presence would dwell upon the Jewish people I have called out in the name of bits allo but Sal was a unique human being he had the ability he had the craftsmanship the the OMA neut the unique artistic ability to create the Mishkan to create the tabernacle with all of its vessels and in trying to understand the idea of its all to understand the unique individual but solo so we need to see something beautiful a beautiful idea that's brought out of a few different midrashim that describes in general how it works when it comes to leaders when it comes to people who are have special artistic ability or people who have special leadership ability we've spoken in the past about the concept of the coil of a human being of its Attic of a righteous individual who with enemy he contains the spiritual ability of many other people sometimes it's a leak is somebody who we can go to in order to get advice in order to get Direction Moshe Rabbeinu was the quintessential silac he was the one who included within him all the aspects of the souls of all of the Jewish people and thus he was able to look at each individual and they wrecked them to their specific purpose in the world Yacouba vino jacob was also somebody like that who because he included all the 70 souls of his offspring he was the one with the spiritual power which was manifest in each of his children in each of his grandchildren so he was able to give the perfect direction to each person now I want to speak about the idea of the Kolo the idea of this all inclusive person but I'd like to share with you a deeper depth another aspect of something that we've spoken about before but we haven't seen this facet of the idea of the Colo of the person who indeed includes others includes who stands out so to speak who stands out as a leader who stands out as someone who sham is appointed to perform a certain task and he's all inclusive like a bird Sal like someone who is a leader in the construction of the tabernacle so he has a spiritual power which manifests through his artistic abilities so I'd like to understand what does that mean what is the concept of that especially in light of some beautiful mad Russian which I'll soon share with you so first thing I want to share with you I'm gonna kind of skip around in the Meldrick there are a few different points that again don't seem to be connected but are very much connected when we understand the point of what the measure she's trying to say the first point here I'd like to share with you is like this pretend Huma bar-abba this is how her baton kuma Brava started explaining the idea of the fact that a Shem called out in the name of its Allah he chose with Sol to be that person Oh Ezra by sopra this is a person ioving job chapter 28 verse 27 it says that then he saw and he set it out he spoke it out Hecky Navigon kakera he prepared him they also searched into the matter Safa Asheboro so we become kuma baba explains so what is this for speaking about it's saying that hashem looked and he saw she saw mccollum cetera the Jewish people were going to receive the Torah she Lula Kane if not for that low bar aha eylem he wouldn't have created the world Shanaya as diverse as ours revised sopra when God saw what was going to be in the future that's when the story began so to speak who Maxie Valkyrie what is the verse say afterwards Valar dohaeris a shame he hokhmah and he said to man that the concept of fear of God that is wisdom nee-naw D'Mello you throw when it speaks about all dumb when it speaks about man it's referring to the people of Israel how do we know that that's true she never we found a verse in Ezekiel chapter 34 verse 31 attain signee say Mauricio Dermot am you are my sheep you are the Sheep who are Shepherd you are man you are the concept of Adam us Rob is our purpose in life so the fact that the Jewish people would receive the Torah at Mount Sinai when God saw that he was willing to bring the world into existence Athena Boyle MyID there was a preparation which happened that's a reference to the tent of meeting to the Mishkan to the tabernacle the Gothic era and there is also an investigation what is that referring to by harvest my abuela had varam it's a reference to the long speech that Moshe Albina the Moses gave right before he passed away in the harvest Maya that's in the book of Deuteronomy so we're going to see soon that there's something that happens at the beginning of creation that God sees God sees all that's going to transpire and as a result of that God creates the world or in God's creating the world it's included in that original creation all that's going to be this that's really gonna be the crux of what we're going to see but here's something amazing that doesn't seem as as I said it doesn't seem to be connected but it's very much connected they were out here I was robbed I sopra another explanation system a Jewish God saw then and he began the story I me rub on him the sages tell us sir ultimately is not a martial person needs to take a lesson Lemar Perko a goddess amaterasu be sushma vocational receiver that when a person is about to say some kind of speech this one has something he wants to give over to the public he wants to give it over he wants to say something so the people understand it it's important for the person to go over it beforehand to say it out and then to say it in public low Yamaha shinee idea by offer which i can easily dress on the omer you shouldn't say look I know what I ready I know well I understand idea that I want to say so I'm gonna just say it no RBI coming out I came out to LA made the office is that you can learn from God himself he should be casual I'm entirely through when God wanted to say over the Torah to the people of Israel Amara our apartment being under Venus my this very verse that speaks about God speaking preparing and searching out etc it's referring to four different times that God said the tour as it were to himself before he spoke it out to the Jewish people Shanaya ever says ah srevice opera he saw it then he was going to speak it out have he Navigon wakaru he prepared it and he also investigated into it ah ha ha afterwards as the verse by a lemur law dumb God spoke it out to the man so we see that it's important to review it to go over it so this is the first point in the mesh which I want to understand what does it mean what is the concept I understand a human being I need to go over and I need to get it clear I need to say it over to myself perhaps a few times before I give it over then this way will be clear when I gave it give it over the final time but what does it mean that Hashem that God himself has over goes over it he says it four times himself before he says it over to the Jewish people what is the concept what is that idea what does it mean what is the depth of this measure it's also very interesting and it's not the push up shot it's not the simple understanding but they Co Civ explains this that what it means is that there are four different aspects of Torah now four levels of Torah which are referred to as paradise you have shot your the simple understanding you have remiz that which is hint being hinted to you have the Jewish which is the Midrash type of teachings near the so you have the secret aspect of the Kabbalistic aspect of it so you have four different levels that are contained within the Torah within the teaching that God gives he gives it all inclusive he gives it to the Jewish people in such a way that they hear everything somehow depending perhaps on the person but all four aspects are included in the teaching so that states Yosef says but I want to understand on a deeper level what does it mean or perhaps even on a simple level pasha shot what does it mean the simple understanding that God reviews the Torah that he's going to give over four times before he actually says it what does that mean now hold on to that question we're gonna go a little farther into the man dish I'm gonna skip a bit and the measure says and try to understand the next part of the verse the next part of the verse says by a mere law Adam this is the verse in job chapter 28 verse 28 by Omar law dumb he near assertion agreement Hashem says to the man hey near assertion that the concept of fear of God so the rest of the verses he hokhmah that's wisdom this to me Raveena turning away from evil that is intuitive that's the intuitive way to be so what is the meaning of this verse everybody here bar-abba Maho hey Marisa Shama grammar what does it mean that fear of God is wisdom Omar hello Kim God says how you look how my some type in if you have good deeds I mean ice in the hosts car I'm going to give you a reward masks are what is the reward Tyra it is Tara Shanna Marva you my lord I'm here as a sham he hokhmah that fear of God if one has fear of God if one does good deeds if one pursue me Robina if someone turns away from EVO so a person will receive wisdom wisdom is Torah the swimming Robina so what is the depth of this part of the verse actor menara if you have turned away from evil an imam imam khomeini Adam Medina mataira I am going to cause people to come from you you will have children and grandchildren who understand intuitively the depth of the Torah man he cannot tell Ahmed where do we see this idea from says the man Josh me I said no Miriam we see this from two great women - matriarch to the Jewish people your heaven and Miriam viii Shalom Aleichem the verse tells us that they feared God they followed after the words of God critics to the verse says it's became a shift from poor which are hazael tell us the sages say our reference different names of your kavanah Miriam so they were the me all days they were the women who would help the Jewish woman give birth Pharaoh had instructed them to kill the Jewish children but to your enemy Allah says Allah came the midwives feared God they wouldn't allow themselves to listen to Pharaoh they didn't kill the children what was the result of the fact that they feared God so we see that they had great children Ameri breath Hiroshima ba Baba Rabi brackets in the name of you hear Barabbas Cara Lee Roth IRA the reward of fear of God of doing God's will out of you know an awesome recognition of God's greatness the reward the result is that a person has children who are Torah who they embody Torah shamil heaven hey man I could have spoke with Misha who came from your habit this midwife who refused listen who had fear of God who refused to listen to Farrow her offspring was none other than ocean of being within Moses Jim if Heaven American smoke was much of it the customer Terrell Shania and what was the result of that Moshe he is called he is called the person who the tour is written by shenana even though Hashem wrote the Torah God Himself spoke the Torah but still we refer to as Tyrus muncha Abdi the verse in Milwaukee and Malachi to the three verse 22 says remember the Torah of Moses my servant we refer to it as the five books of Moses it's moshus book it's not really motions book it's Hashem's book God wrote this book but no see if we find a versus tired sevillana motion the tower was commanded us by Moses it wasn't Moses it was God but you see that when someone acts with your Hashem when someone has fear of heaven when someone acts in accordance with their highest self so then the result is that they have a great child since I'm a Jewish somebody who teaches tourists someone who embodies the Torah Miriam also had this Miam a Yiddish essaouira min Haram and a hate as a result of her not listening to Pharaoh not killing the children and also there's two things here actually date Celsius says the Pharaoh was trying to entice them to sin with him to have illicit relations with him they wouldn't listen so as a result of that as a result of their us a sham so Miriam also had a great offspring had a great child come from her how many men are cool - Bob it's a low but Salah was to be her offspring physical ahamill abena we see that bits a low in his art in his ability so he had wisdom and intuition hedonic savory karatsuba shame is sallow we see the the verses behold I've called on the name of its a low of seven never says vow Molly I say Rahul akimbo hokhmah to be tuna over das God says that I filled him with the Spirit of God with wisdom with intuition with knowledge so we see an amazing thing an amazing idea that the measure she's telling us that it's possible for a person as a result of his actions as a result of his your such time as a result of behaving in a way that shows that he fears God that he that he is much sure that he considers the awesomeness of godliness as a result of that he will Marin or she will merit to have a child who embodies the Torah who was filled with the Spirit of God who is filled with godliness now the implication of this message clearly is that because of the choices that I make it's possible to merit an amazing result to have a child like this but now listen to the next piece of the mesh because it sounds like it's a steer it sounds like a contradiction it sounds like the the child the great person the leader the all-inclusive aspect is somebody who is appointed from the very beginning of time to be somebody who is going to be this leader is going to have this ability so let's listen carefully and see if this is a contradiction or not Deborah her this is partial mem section 40 number 2 teaching number 2 it says Deborah her corrosive a shame itself the verse says I have called out in the name of bits out inkzooka LRA a chorus II the verse says behold I've called out autumn I'd say now listen carefully this is really cool you find Keisha Allah Masha Allah moaning when Moses went up to the highest heavens hairline kodesh Merkel cochlea Michigan God instructed him and showed him each of the vessels of the tabernacle what it's going to look like your armor like cockpit caucus a and he said to him this is exactly how you should make it I'll see some in no your eyes I see so Shula now see some is BAE off the verse says you shall make him in or you shall make the table you shall make the altar call my Samish gone and it gave perfect descriptions of all of the different aspects of the tabernacle bum I should layer it Moses came down from the mountain summer shoe a sigh so he thought that it was going to be his job to make it a sham and showed him exactly what to do Karla Kodesh Procol God called out to him and that's our verse or a chorus right it says behold I have called out on Lanisha so he says to Moshe Mela SEC Club I have made you a king ain't there hemella classy stubborn it's not the way of a king to be the one who actually is Pallas who actually brings it about no that's not the job of a king hello guys about terramycin the king's job is to delegate he makes the decree others do it ah Fattah you as well in lahore they stubborn you understand what needs to be done you have that vision I've planted in you but it's not your job to actually bring it out into reality in the harshest less a snubber you don't have permission to do anything and I'm more lehem the hey Mason I want you to tell them and they will do it but loyal Marlon let me I'm are a sham didn't tell him exactly to whom to speak I'm emotionally i Meyer so much it says to whom am I supposed to tell I'm relying on America Shem says don't worry I'm gonna show you who men are suckers for who what did God do hey be like see fresh alauda Mauritian God brought the original book of other Mauritian of the first man there was a book which you can read about and not gonna get into it I just there's not enough time but there was an original book that shemot showed out of my reach on the first man which contained within it a description of all of the great individuals who were going to be alive throughout the generations the leaders of every generation the her local adoration a seed in Lamoni braces at leas amazing God showed him all the generations that were going to come into the world from Genesis from the time the world was created until the world the the resurrection of the Dead which is the end of time Toradora malakhov each generation and it's kings door door ooh man he gave each generation and its leaders door of a door and a view of each generation and it's prophets are like Olivia had his County of Mesa sha Hashem says to Moshe Ben oh look at this book this is a book that was from the time of Adam Aaron from the first man I have established everything from that time everything goes back to that time if Cambridge Sal mayor Sasha he's country but Sal was somebody who I set a had in mind all the way from the beginning of time I setup that he should be the one heavier a corrosive ashame it's al that's what it means in the first one it says behold I've called out the name of its Allah he has been since the beginning of time he has been set he has he has been destined to perform this task you don't have to worry everything is in its right place now this measure seems to be implying that every single leader every single person who is great was accomplished anything who has become instrumental in world history and when I speak about world history I'm talking about Jewish history the great sages of the Jewish people the leaders of the Jewish people those who were the volumous are those who bore the torch of the tradition of the Jewish people the halacha the law the Torah the ideas contained there with their in guiding the Jewish people to maintain that heritage those people were all determined from the beginning of time other marushin was able to see that Mouse Ravenna was able to see that as well he looked inside this book so what is the idea here it seems to be saying that it's predetermined it doesn't seem like there's too much but here it doesn't seem like there's free will in this aspect so how do we understand it seems to be a contradiction the previous piece of the measure said that your heaven and Miriam merited to have these great children and grandchildren offspring as a result of the view of their years Hashem of their fear of God but it seems to be saying here that these people were going to be who they were irrespective of anybody else of anybody's choice they were going to be these great people so how are we to understand this so before we get clarity on the resolution I want to show you one more piece in the mesh which brings into focus the question again it's in Eau skin lesson number three Harold could have spoke will de Avram Hashem showed him something a Shem showed something amazing while you dish armored of our God but it was as a result of the fact that he said a certain statement which was he said how will I know that I will inherit the land of Israel he showed a lack of faith in God you have to remember I have herma V no Abraham just like Jacob is the one who is the all-inclusive aspect of his children of a seventy offspring Avram Aveeno Abraham is also the all-inclusive aspect of all of his children and so when he makes a mistake when he does something wrong it will have an effect on all of his children so he said how will I know he should a lack of faith how will I know that I will inherit the land of Israel the result was that the Jewish people would have to go into exile so I Shem at that moment he showed avril lavigne Abraham what was going to be one of yours no mr. Amash tom is trying the Jewish people he saw the Jewish people going down to Egypt and becoming enslaved there Harry I saw the moisture amid the Hashem showed him that there was gonna be a Moses was gonna stand up and redeem them hello Leo civ zenith of autumn he also showed him that Joseph when the Jewish people go down to Egypt at the beginning Joseph is going to take care of the other tribes Harald Onimusha Mushaf naveen Hashem showed that Moses was going to appoint prophets suffering to Aaron's referring to his sons parallel - shamone shamone he showed him really all of Jewish history Samuel is going to appoint an anoint the Kings Sheol and mm Allah King Saul King David the shoe amok necessarily aris hashem showed him the jewish the jewish people were going to come into the land of israel joshua was going to lead them the W is a device I'm showing him that King David was going to lay down the foundations for the base I'm ENGLISH of the temple the Bonio King Solomon was going to build a temple italia in my house even a monotonous math Murray says up shall be some big douche he also showed a from Aveeno there's gonna be an evil woman the mother of a hyzer and it was Italia that she was going to loosen the golden nails which kept the base hamikdash the temple together you know you're the Misaki there's gonna be someone in your yard Oh who's gonna fix it I want I surveyed Ozora someone's going to worship the idolatry yoshiyama vara Josie is gonna destroy it maja netzer maqam of bias the base image to be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar that I wish by Nasser Darius is going to rebuild it so Shem showed him all the different trials and tribulations the ups and downs the Jewish people are going to experience where all of its allies Samish gone and God showed him also in that vision he also soo saw that saw was going to create the tabernacle have a ray a corrosive shame it's al so we see that this is included in this verse behold I've called out in the name of its Allah that there was something that was being held not just by Moses but also by Abraham and even as we saw in the previous message it was be held by other Mauritian himself the first man himself and there's an amazing idea that we see here and this is actually something that I've heard a number of times from Arushi repair that he said you know if Moshe obey know if something had happened then he wouldn't have been the goal for whatever reason if he wouldn't have been the Redeemer I shan't had back-up plan so to speak Hashem has many different possibilities when it comes to bringing a about the results that he wishes to bring about there is a leader there is a messiah there is a messiah there's an individual who has the potential to be that person but there could be more than one person who has a potential and there are backups in case the one who's supposed to be doesn't end up being that person based on this idea it becomes clear that when Hashem showed an Irish on this book the safer had iris this book of the generations who would be the great leaders what was going to happen when was this shown to him it was shown to him and this is something I can't get into because of a lack of time you have to see if you want to see the measure itself it's in partial cuff valid it speaks at length about this but is it was as a result of his sin that it was show time because when there is sin their spirit their separation there's a degeneration there's a lowering and there become more and more possibilities more different ways so to speak God has many different ways of getting the results he wants you might have a preferred way you might have a specific way he'd rather it be when Hashem says that my reach and I want you not to eat from the tree that's the way you want it to be makes a mistake he eats from the tree so it creates other possibilities and other results other Souls there's a there's a you reader there's a degeneration that happens but now it's produced as many different possibilities many options many different people who could be the leaders of the generation Adam didn't just see the people who would be the leaders he saw the people who could be the leaders he saw the potential and it's interesting when when Moshe is given the instructions to build a mission he doesn't know right away who it's going to be a Shem says don't worry everything is set up everything is all the possibilities are there I believe that's what the magic sure is saying the message is telling us that a Shem didn't tell him right away because it really depended things can remove around pieces are moving constantly in reality depends on the bahir of the human being that the the free will choices that we make Hashem has many different possibilities there is going to be a redeemer there is going to be someone who's going to build a mission there is going to be someone who's going to fulfill that task is there more than one person answer is that there could be more than one person there are many possibilities when when y'all have it makes her choice chooses to have your sash M she chooses to put herself into the place of fearing God as a result of that she has chosen to be the place where Moshe a Bain would manifest where Moses would be born from as a result of Miriam choosing the right thing to shoot to do the will of God her offspring would be basalo that human being that soul was going to come into the world no matter what that result was going to be brought about no matter what but who is going to bring about the result that depends on the free will choices that we make that's also embodied in the last message that I shared which has to do with the fact that Avram Aveeno made a mistake he's sinned and that caused a degeneration and the Jewish people had to go into gallows that to go into exile there had to be these ups and downs because he didn't have sufficient faith but those possibilities each generations lost each generations choice each generation there's going to be somebody who might choose to do what's wrong might choose of a desert idolatry but there's going to be someone else is going to choose the good there's always going to be this up and down depending on the choices that we make the choices of our leaders and the choices of us we as individuals we also make these choices and now bringing it back to the first point that we said in the men Trish how Shemin he was giving over the Torah so he went over at four different times there were four different possible ways so to speak that God could give over the Torah that he could say it over and it really depends on us depends on the Jewish people their state their willingness their readiness to receive the Torah and what kind of person they are how Hashem is going to say it actually and so this is also true in the in the the instruction of the magician when a person is giving over a speech when the person has some tour that he wants to say he has to look at it from the different possible angles that he could express it and know who his audiences and know how to how to say it properly it's also embodied in the ACOSS explanation that these four different ways that Shem was going over it so to speak represent the four different aspects of shot Ramez Jewish sewed the simple explanation the hinting the draszt madras ik type explanation and the Kabbalistic or more more deeper this secret type of manifestation of the Torah and so the bottom line here is that for us the take home is that there are different ways that a Shem can bring whatever result into the world that he wishes to bring and based on our choice we choose whether to be part of a Shems plan or whether to opt out and then I shall have to find heaven forbid somebody else to do that job now I want to bless you and please bless me a Shem should help us that we should be the ones who have the yerushalaim who follow in the footsteps of a miriam of your habit who have that offspring who indeed embody godliness bring torah wisdom into the world Shem should help us to be able to choose to be the ones who manifest goodness and godliness and use our unique abilities just as but Soliday just as emotion did just as all these great individuals throughout history who are enumerated in the book of Adam aeration may we indeed be from amongst those who are written in that book and manifest the greyness the godliness in this world thank you so much for listening have a wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you for
