you're listening to the weekly parsha podcast with already goldbag recorded with us gems never-ending assistance in our my vision which is real 57 79 2019 this week's Varsha is precious nice of him and I'd like to share you a thought I'm one of the second in our parsha which is very much related to Rosh Hashanah which is close at hand this is a puzzle we all know we've probably been hearing about for about a month because it has in it the Russia Davis of ello Maha Shakti has LaBeouf Co Terry tells us Mishra Ben who announces and proclaims and predicts in the future time there will be a time while ashinaka Slovakia - M will circumcise our hearts as Lavazza Raqqa and the hearts of our children lava session a chemical bomb called African American yoga we would love Hashem our God with all of our hearts with all of our souls in order that we live and the ROM bond says that what is this possibly talking about what does it mean sham super-marv saying how she was going to bring us back to Israel is going to gather us in it's gonna be exactly what's going on today it's gonna be the Messianic age fast approaching and a Shem will take away the eight Sahara from our hearts amazing thing the Charla Seremban dish Aroha bullet our Messiah nicely this is a concept that a person comes to purify themselves Hashem helps them Mufti Kakashi Tasha I love bacala vodka we are sorry Scott that if you return to action with all of your heart Hashem will help you to promise okay so that's the that's one shot took more than Chavez tough curve Dollard veneer I'm gonna sue the minions ash om air and then bon says that if we take this verse in context it's talking about when she asked the Messianic age so it seems that this is saying Kim is man habría gosh I'm originally created the world will see soon whether lassitude Rosh Hashanah originally created the world heist wishes we had call her Adam last sighs cured Sinai each and every person had a free will to do whatever they want it's how the guy rush it to be righteous or to be wicked cause monetary can get a she and I'm supposed to be here awesome but over ownership this is we have free will we choose to do what's right you get rewarded if we do what's wrong we get punished well you might summer she asked the times of the Messiah yeah but he rabbit tithe lehem Teva an amazing thing is going to have an ashram is going to circumcise our heart what is the idea choosing good will be natural lowest level ahem I lave Masha and Roy the heart will not desire something which is inappropriate oh yeah wait to a cloud the heart will not be interested in those things you hear me Lana's Karastan this is the idea of the circumcision the verse is referring to yam that my type of Orlov the leaf because the desire for inappropriate things the lust etc all that stuff is something which is like a foreskin on the heart ma la llave who shall I live in the sava what does it mean there's a circumcision of the heart it means that we will no longer desire the Ostrava atom bees mana who I share how I am cat I may I'll return to the way he was before this sin had a shot out of my region the sooner the first man I see very much a royal ass sex even though of course we know that Adam Rishon sinned but the the Yeats of hurrah was not inside of him it was an external force that's what we saw if we read the beginning of Genesis 3 bration so you see that there's a snake which is an outside force its heart was not inside of him naturally he was drawn to do what was right choice to meet Eve I'm I should write last I so like how your later sorry no number of Oaxaca I didn't have inside of themselves two different desires the the thing to do something in order to end to do the opposite right like we have that internal struggle committee rashly to see the richest the ROM bond explained ok so I want to get into a bit of what is Rosh Hashanah what does it mean that we're going back to the state of under my region code of my fate can we get back there and really the main thing that I want to talk about is the idea of be talking and we've spoken about it many times in the past but I want to show you as brakesh am i was able to give a very special shear to the betoken group who has met has been meaning for a few months now bore hashem and i want to show you some of the thoughts as you do we'd be talkin and i really be talk on his amazing theme that is very much connected to Russia Shana and we can strengthen our be talk on our trusting God our faith in our belief that He will give us a wonderful new year a beautiful new year so many blessings that faith that belief can come that that assuredness be talking means any but to uh I'm positive I'm absolutely positive that she'll give me all the good things that I'm that I'm seeking okay so let's talk a little bit about Russia Sean because Rosh Hashana is really the day it's a sixth day of creation the world was created and I'm COFF hey Ellen right that's right here we are it's cafe ello today if I'm not mistaken no I just want to check that yes indeed today is the 25th of ll and today's the creation of the world by Merlin Kimmy you are ye or the day that Hashem said let there be light six days later you count you get to Russia Shana Shoshana is the first day of the world cuz it's the first thing that I'm Mary Jean existed it's the first time that there was a human being on the scene that's where Shoshana is okay and that's what we're trying to get back to and that's what our part is referring to we're trying to get back there that's why if you look at the treeless of Rosh Hashanah we same car we're all going to create there's gonna be a worldwide unanimous group it's gonna be one group we're all going to serve Hashem that's going to be the goal of humanity guided of course by the Jewish people we will guide all of humanity in that endeavor okay Rosh Hashanah is a day of course we know that were mama Hashem we make Hashem to be our king we make a Shimon to our King what is the idea was idea of making Hashem our king the idea of making our Shem our King is a spotless it means that I completely nullify myself to God I recognize that there is nothing else besides Russian there's nothing else besides her serving him okay so we have in a very interesting connection between Rosh Hashanah and Schwartz choice is the day that we receive the Taira choice what does that have to do with Rosh Hashanah Hashanah we we make a sham our king Shoshanna we say we're going to return to the state of enumeration what does that have to do she was receiving the Taira but the answer of course is that on on shores we receive the tired we make Hashem our King as well because we say we're willing to do NASA vanish mah whatever it is that God wants us to do we shall do we make Hashem our King as I has all say to us someone cryptically bye-bye everybody Yama she she the verse in Korean in the creation in the description of the events of creation says it wasn't a six-day etc Mauritian as we said was create on the first day on the sixth day right so what happens has I'll say Yama she she is referring to verse 6 days referring to the sixth day of Sivan today that we receive the Torah because the world cannot exist without the Torah means that the the world cannot exist without the human being accepting upon themselves the yoke of heaven accepting upon themselves to fulfill the commandments do the midst of a Shem that is how we indeed make a Shem are king over ourselves ok so there's a maluca that's from risk that we that when we what are we doing on Rosh Hashanah we are saying a sham I want to renew my relationship with you I want to be a true servant of uhm I want to be somebody who's all my focus is doing your will doing your will what is your will for me that's what I want to do ok now an amazing thing happens when we move into this space and here's where we get to be talking the gross is something very interesting and very amazing which of course needs explanation and we'll soon see what the explanation is he says something surprising this is in mich lay the gras initially parrot cough Bay's pasa Goethe's quote eagerness seen us at our leisure el hookah day she Aseema Bettina Machamp the main reason the Torah was given to the Jewish people to the people of Israel is in order that they place their faith in Hashem they place their Batak on a sham the gam Camus a pair African of name and also to tell their children Lemonnier dude or a Koran because the verse says in order that the last generation no we need to have trust in a Shem and we need to teach our children to have trust in Hashem we need to tell them stories how we trust and Shem and it worked we share a car huh Cole who happy talk on a Shalem says the Gras the most amazing words he says the main thing the main thing of everything is absolute faith in Hashem betoken who cloud column it's us this is the general principle of all of the mitzvahs the entire purpose of the tyro the entire purpose of all the commandments is for what for us to put our faith in Hashem and I want to tell you something which you know I can only talk from my own experience I can only tell you something I myself have tried to do and something that I've experienced and that is that when it comes to be talking so you may know you may have heard me speak about this before or maybe many times that the altar of navarre deck Padraic Sodom speaks at length about the idea of atacama be table atlas I can have faith in Hashem I can trust in a Shem and I will get whatever I want in a miraculous way that's that's the amazing concept I'll be talking according to the altar and the verdict I can get I can literally have me some happen I can ask a shun for things miraculously I can receive them but it doesn't always work hey I had been talking yesterday I found a parking spot it didn't show up the parking spot that I wanted why doesn't it always work and also why is it that if we read the stories of betoken me the stories of the altar and a verdict sparks of muster my recycled eylem you see that very often they had be talking about they would get all of their needs provided for and somehow they they won the lottery or the money just appear and however it came but it always comes at the last second what's the chat like why is that very often when push comes to shove that's where are we talking works when a person is in a challenging situation when person is in difficulty person is sick they have be talking they know what koshwal who's gonna help them that's where it works I would like to tell you that I believe that the reason that it works is because there's a certain state that a person needs to be in a mental state a state an emotional state and when that person is in that state so then when they have Bataclan when they have faith in Hashem it really works and the reason that it works is because they're in a state called his spotless his battles means self nullification but not just self modification that I am noting his battles to a Kurdish poor who completely buckle when a person undergoes Eucerin very difficult challenges they feel bottle they feel like they're not that they're you're in a place they you know they're that they have no control you know that things are out of their control they're powerless they have no power over the situation in that space of it's not in my control that's where I can have be tough and I can have faith in Hashem and things will be amazing that be talking this is the place that a person gets to now when they do the myths is because they're fun now only for performing at or because it's greatly you know clients well they had the mountain hanging over their head Coughlin's Harger gigas what's the idea of that they said nasa Venetia we will do whatever you say but but as Sean was holding a mountain over their head because in order for them to be able to truly commit this is very interesting in always be able to truly commit something you have to be in a place of his buttless of complete self nullification of complete surrender and sometimes you need a mountain hanging over your head in order to be in a place of self surrender rosh hashanah that's the myth Swiss right that's the Mitsos Russia Sean is a day where where the mountain is hanging over our head this is the day that we are being judged or being judged what is our you are going to look like how much part US are we going to have is this gonna be the year that Messiah arrives is this going to be a year me ya know me almost sue will live and who will die maybe Keith suck me lady could say who in their time who not in their time me a Ani me a share who's going to be poor who's going to be rich everything is hanging in the balance the mountain is hanging over our head that's that's the real thing and that chauffeur will be here the chauffeur it reminds us of it we hear that chauffeur it's a it's a wake up it really is a wake up you hear that that sound that blast and it's scary the king is here the king is judging us and it's not a punishment it's a reality it's not and that's Hashem is not doing it because he hates us he's doing it because he loves us he wants us to get back inside of a commitment to him he wants us to get into a true place of baton of faith this is gonna be a great year this is going to be an amazing year why cuz I'm committed to uhm I know that I need to do what's right and I am recommitting to do what's right and when I recommit to doing what's right I know I'm going to have a good year it's an amazing thing on Rosh Hashanah the day of judgment we are sitting there in the court and we are being judged and then we go home we have a big party like a big meal a young tough meal my high it doesn't seem to jive maybe we should make a quiet meal sit down our dish above to down our gamekeeper there you know I'm saying quiet Shh no late echo black maja go out and eat we know for sure that we are going to get a good judgement Shanah Tovah everyone says good ear how do you know who says we can't we say ticklish ah no the killing I said the talk I'll show no beer myself let's end the gear the previous year and all of its curses we want a new year with blessings how do you know how do you know because we do know because if we are truly Monica Shem if we truly sense the Amos at Dean we truly feel we are we are the mountain is hanging over our heads there is nothing more powerful than that to have be tough to have absolute faith absolute belief that I'm going to have an amazing year am I gonna find that parking spot you know I'm gonna find my parking spot when my meeting is I'm driving around Manhattan my meeting is in five minutes a very important meeting millions of dollars are hanging in the balance I need to find that spot I am be talking that's when the spot arrives it's not when I come you know I am you know I really would like to have that free spot next to the mierqis but you know what if you're not gonna give me that spot I'll pay for a spot inside that's not gonna get anything I don't feel any hisses buttless I don't feel like I need God I don't feel like I'm bottled to him and therefore that's why it doesn't work that's why it doesn't work be talking works because I'm in a place of his bottleless and that is the IKAR that is the acre it goes hand in hand what is the point of the mitzvos what is the point of Rosh Hashanah it's in order for us to have a sense that this is what I do this is who I am I'm a servant of Hashem and this is how I serve him I keep the mitzvahs there's a mountain hanging over my head if I don't do it Chum take four ask him if I don't keep the Taira I'm in trouble I got to do it that's the commitment I must do it you know I you know I work I work because I have a commitment to my family if I don't work there's no bread on the table if I don't have that pair no psycho dish more clue if I don't have the Parana so how am I going to feed my family that's a commitment that's the mountain hanging over our heads that's where that's what I believe the grow means when he says this is what be talking is about be talkin comes because exec Cloud Cult air coolers we call color mixes the entire purpose of the Taira is for me to become buffle to Hashem to be in that place where now because I'm in a true relationship with a shame because I'm truly bottled to him I can I can trust him then I will get everything that I need everything that I need an amazing thing I want to tell you before I get to what I want to tell you I want to bring it back to the puss again our pressure Marla Shauna keith was love co mr. livadas area hula is a show you know a sham hung that mountain over their heads were they thinking oh my gosh your son hates me no I'll tell you a deep secret they weren't thinking that when we stand in front of a Shem on Rosh Hashanah and he's judging us is it because of sham haters no don't think that the avarice of shaiiaja hashem is is is taking off that foreskin from our arts it's the thing that separates between us and em right there is that that that that wall that blocks us from having a relationship with Hashem and when we're in a state of Aimie and Europe amazingly the Gila Barada rejoice and trembling we're supposed to rejoice while we're shaking the answer is yes answer is yes when we're shaking that's where the love amazingly comes in and I don't know about you but I've had the experience many times where I was going through a very hard situation whatever the situation or a nice felt Wow sham I love you why should I know you love me Marshall McCalister baklavas Lavazza reco you know keeping the Taira I mentioned us before doing the Taira doing the mitzvahs fulfilling the commandments it's not easy it's not always easy it's not always fun we do it because we're committed to it and because ultimately we know that this is the best thing for us because Hashem God created us and if he says keep these mitzvahs missus keep these Commandments oh no it's not fun to be forbidden from your wife four to two weeks out of the month it's not fun it's not fun always to have to go and pray three times a day it's not always fun I don't always feel like it it's not always fun the tire is not about fun and feeling good there are many things that are fun and feel good and by the way the things that are not fun and don't feel good after the fact almost always we do feel good because we feel like we've done what's right and we feel satisfied that we've done we've kept our commitment it's the most powerful deep and and satisfying feeling ever doing what's right because it's right it doesn't always feel good that's that's important to know going in it doesn't always feel good but we do it because it's right because of our come in because there's a mountain hanging over our heads because there's an Emma sedin we recommend a Shem you are my king I know that whenever I listen to you when I look back I know the times I listen to you were amazing and the times I didn't what a fool I was what a fool I was and I see that and I recognize that and that is what Russia shun is about and that takes off the forskin from our arts and that's when we start to cry on Rosh Hashanah by Nagila of course of course binding Allah that's when the emotions come out because that's the moment where it's the last second and I can tell you from my personal experience that I'm on them often on the west coast for for the end of an ela and I would feel like wow this is really but last moment here we are and that's we sash who are like Kim sham who I like him we say it seven times were mama Shem seven times he is our God that's what this is about this is about removing that and and and then we know we have a promise if we trust a shame in that moment when we trust the Shem in that moment that we did that hard thing we did what's right because it's right even though it's hard the result is shana tova the Shoah target because if it's a crossing I promise you sir Shem you will be you will be etched in the book of good life edged YH because you have etched my will into your heart you have taken to heart the truth of what's going on in this world I want to share with you as the last point I was as he read the as read the Torah we can half ago it says yumminess multi friends he's beautiful sucking talking about mushiya the times of mashiac you know we're building up to machine at why because we've been reading for this last seven we see the Shivan and attempt uh because we're getting back to that state that's a rush Hashanah is and in there it says Ronnie was silky it's in Isaiah chapter 54 it's not talking about what the Christians think it's talking about if the suffering servant is the Jewish people because it's talking about us because all of the suffering we've gone through for the last two thousand years at their hands as well Yaman who small TIFF right see the verse says the POSIX says to the right to the left we will expand we will expand the amazing thing we will expand and and it says in the fortune there just like it says who for rats the yum of echidna she's like it says that when class are we turns heresy so we will expand eastward and and and westward we will expand hurt Israel the Land of Israel is gonna be much larger than it is today it will expand to include a much larger area the Jewish people will be expanding TIF right see I noticed is game at RIA tough shinpei the same game a tree as the year we are coming into this year Topsham paid the ominous motive right see this is a year of expansion and then I noticed something else which is not on the puzzle but we say it every Friday night yeoman is multi Fritzie yes Hashem Tourette see the word - I read see is also the materia tough shinpei the same thing this coming year top shinpei yes I shan't I read see what does it mean it means we are a channel for a kodesh bar who we bring hashem into this world when do we expand you see it's a it's an amazing thing it's a paradox to the extent that i make myself small i make myself less I make myself bottle I make Hashem my king then a Shem is what's important Hashem swirls what's important there's a mountain over my head to the extent that I do that I make myself small expansion Shem comes into my life he's the greatest greatest God God Allah giver of an IRA he's the greatest he's great the entire cosmos 13.8 billion light years across Hashem has created all of this he is massive not physically of course he's but he created this entire the universe and he is girdle he is girdle for at Stough yumminess motif right see when I am bottle that's where I experienced expansion when I mean that's they have expansion I can have be talking I can have anything I will have a shot at IVA and amazed amazed it's a sham Tahiti I become a channel for our cottage Baku to come into this world I become a place them says hey this is a person like yo se fat Sadiq great example who doesn't need anything for himself he's just about me this is who I want to manifest through this is who I want to be an expression within the world I want to express through through it through this person that is idea yah - Walter Freud's against a sham Tourette see this year is going to be a year of expansion for all of us where we are I believe there's gonna be an expansion with an urgency as well for sure it's going on all over the place I you know I was just on a I was driving in a car with my daughter my seven-year-old my six-year-old soon to be seven year old and she said wow there's so many cranes what's with all the cranes in my area or might be too much this is because Claro it's expanding expanding and growing that's what's going on here it's a Chevy Tahoe eat see we are coming becoming more committed to a coach for who we're going back into relationship with Hashem that's what the Mullis is about that's what this Shabbos is about mala Chemeketa slavic obviously Lazaretto that's what a Shem is promising us that as we get closer and closer to the hard times of Messiah we will experience more and more of his presence in our lives I want to bless you and I ask you to bless me she should give us the most beautiful sweet new year a year full of
