you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with already golden egg recorded with the shows never-ending assistance and Roma rail 57 79 2019 seeks parshas partials key sisa and in our partial we have the Tina Eagle the sin of the golden calf well Charbonneau has been up on her Sina on Mount Sinai for forty days and forty nights he's received the Torah and God finally at the very end of his time there gives him the Luca is her bris the holy tablets which have written upon them the Ten Commandments a Saracen a price and the Jewish people believe they come to believe that Moshe has Moshe is late and there was a mistake in their calculation and furthermore as our sages tell us the eight Sahara the Sutton the Satan showed the Jewish people that Moses had been killed he was dead and the Jewish people as a result create the golden calf they worship the golden calf the great sin whereas the Jewish people had reached a level of other Mauritian Kalima hate they'd returned to the place where the first man was before he had sinned as a result of the Messiah eagle as a result of worshiping the golden calf they lost that exalted level and I'd like to share with you a very deep discussion about this concept about what happened in our scene I mean understand clearly what exactly happened that Mount Sinai what was the level that they returned to what was the concept of animation Cody mccade we need to understand what they'd lost with and how they made the mistake with this sin of the golden calf of the sin of worshipping the the eagle has ah've and I'd like to share with you a discussion which is spoken about in the say for my draga Sodom andreas Adam was room at the altar of navarre ik who was really a severe Horowitz who lived from 1850 to 1920 and he started a movement to yeshivas of which I myself consider myself a part of my receiver of a pair is a student of that school and I've been a student of his for over 20 years so I want to share with you some ideas from the very beginning of his book my tragus automatically so I'll be speaking about different times different time periods in history of the world and the first of those time periods he speaks about his Irish I could have my fav no one just give you a picture I'm not gonna read that part inside but what was the idea what was the state of other Mauritian before the sin as opposed to the way we are today and he explains that as a result of Adam's sin we find ourselves in our current situation which is that the there's a battle within us there's eight Zahara there's a evil inclination pulls us through the side of evil does he get to tell you there's a positive force and sign of us which pulls us in the direction of good and within us there's this battle that battles it out there's the ego there's the there's the conscience they battle it out and there's a pull towards hungriest towards physicality towards Tyva towards towards our desires whether it's for honor whether it's for lust whether it's for money etc all these things pull us when other Mauritian was first created however it wasn't that way are the Mauritian did not have any inner pull towards anything except for God's will extended for anything except for goodness and righteousness which it's going to return to that state when the Messiah arrives Mushaf comes we'll return to the state of admiration called my hate we will no longer be pulled in the direction of these are around the direction of evil but rather as our sages house tomorrow sukkah the Sahara the the evil inclination will be slaughtered the tsaatan will be slaughtered and all that will remain is that mankind will all join as one to serve God to do good to do what's right we will return to that state of inori's shown before the sin now we exist on a plane where there's a battle inside of us there's a battle inside of us because there's a pull towards bad and there's the conscience which tries to pull us towards good and the Taira defines and the movement that the altar of navarre dec started was a very powerful movement which was part of the Muslim woman part of the concept within Judaism which is to work on one's character traits by working on one's character traits it's possible to do something called severus amylase which means it's possible to break our negative desires break that which in the direction of evil and mamela it's possible that on its own we will be in a state where we're only interested in doing what's right where we're only interested in doing good and that's the foundation of his book as the foundation of his whole outlook on life that it's possible to break the evil inclinations possible to return not completely but to return in a certain sense to the state of unreason because I hate before the sin where there's no pull in the direction of meanness release of bad character trait there's no pull to by the ego there's no Paula for Honor there's no pull for money there's no pull for desire for lust where was it that somebody that that an individual accomplished that so he spoke about Noah he spoke about Ravi no we're not gonna get into that but he says that and mom and mom and her scene I something amazing happened something awesome happened the entire Jewish people reached a level of under my research on cosmic aid of man before before the sin and how did that happen so I always understood that it was just as a result of gula the Jewish people reached back to a place where they were it was it was like they had this challenge they were in Egypt they had the Exodus they they had Gulen Redemption and as a result so they automatically popped back into the place where animation was before the sin that's what happened at Mount Sinai but my draga Sodom the alternative artx is something different he says that there was something that the Jewish people said something in the Jewish people understood and perhaps it was because it was the right time perhaps it was because of the whole challenging situation that they had just gone through for so many so many years in Egypt whatever the case was there was something that they did which we can learn from which we can actually incorporate into ourselves that as a result of that statement as a result of that action they were able to return to that state of uh narration code McCabe what was that and and what happened and my side Eagle they lost that so we need to understand did they lose it completely can we still can we still obtain that level do we completely lose that level or no is it something that we can attain ourselves and as of course you realize he posits that we can go back to that state so let's see it's important to understand what happened at our scene I in order to understand what hap the Maya hey go it's important understand what happened in Mount sign in order to understand what they lost with the worshipping of the Golden Calf and what was the understand why did it happen what was the depth of why they lost that level what was the trick of date Sahara what was the trick if a star is no longer inside of them pulling them towards evil what did he do in order to cause the Jewish people to fall and how did they rectify that because they didn't need rectify that ok so let's see the shots man Torah he gilliam a drag of coca-cola the Jewish people at the time of the giving of the Torah reached such an awesome level archer puskás Thomas Montgomery the poison which had poisoned them of the Naha shove the snake and cause the evil to be inside of the human being stopped completely Vanessa becoming other my recent claim I hate they became like Adam before the sin I'm a dragon he see GU basic demon oz Lanisha when did they accomplish that when do they get to that level it was when they said the words we will do and we will listen they said first whatever you say God we are going to do we're going to fulfill it Venetia us actually to be at Sona Haskell Italy is a pizzeria bar it really shook Shara Club because then there was a decision this is this is the foundational concept there is a decision that no matter what we are going to do what God says without any and there's no deals there is no halfways there's no being on this side of the fence on that side of the fence at the same time surely if I reduce my shitty Promotora that the the Jewish people they agreed they the committed that they would only do they would only choose that which the Torah chooses for them will you Baku club whatever they won't have any doubts about it in la quwata illa Kabul as a social Allah says whether or not to receive it or whether or not to do what it says in the Torah no that's my my son asseh the main thing they did was that they said we shall do Peru show and the explanation is on a mohanam las seis return we are ready to do God's will commotion Mahmoud Kanaan says just like an angel where has no free will he's just a pure spiritual being he's ready to do whatever God says we going to do the same thing we should reach Omaha Kira cloud not getting involved does this makes sense to me is this really what's good for me No whatever God says I shall do you crush me Oh who Rock Lavar a classic so what did they mean when they said I'm gonna hear I shall do and I shall listen it that was just we got to understand what God wants us to do so I need to hear what he's trying to say to me I need to hear what are the what what's what are the Haggadah happy that what the definition of what it is that God wants me to do what are the law is what are the specifics of it relaxing Vishakha deeming strong masculine ish man yes this Abascal onra and therefore when the jewish people said we shall do we shall listen and he said we shall do which indicates that we will do whatever God says no matter what if a heavenly voice came out and says maquila Rosa Rosella Bona who revealed the secret to my children zou Samaras Magill Elohim isayama free AHA God Allah circus Ashley moose who revealed to them the greatest impediment to reaching greatness to reach in wholeness in one service of God what is it hello whom Mishima vaca Sh Adam Tom and haneish McClellan her NASA it is that what a person always wants to hear first before he does it at akira-san acquired a ministry to annoy and it says do I need this for not do it should I really do this or not that kind of thinking Halasz is in live Akaka sha sha sha sha Yu Zhi Li Rami is there maybe something bad will come out as a result of my keeping Katara shun are you hell if I saw there so perhaps I won't be able to live with this decision Nikhil ahem who revealed to the Jewish people shooked de la mohammed reyes other my recent crime I hate that the way for a person to reach the level of all immigration before the sin how does one do that how does one accomplish that without beliefs shun Agia TVs turrets anus without having anything pulling me along towards the side of evil there any desire mala Cabo emasculate a couple what I'm gonna get well I'm not gonna get and the Commish sake help usher other my Rishon he had a simple mind he didn't have to - you didn't have all these complicated calculations [Music] my second batch of molasses with Sun Conure just simply ready to do God's will the image my drag is allowed to to shinola eylem in order that this level remain forever cerca de Mahesh Bhatt's me Susie a hack team had NASA colony Sh'ma a person needs to root inside of himself to to plant inside of himself the idea that I want to do I'm willing to do I will do whatever God says I will follow god no matter what he says I shall do it before I hear the details of how its to be done Ashley shocked Kumail acaba I'm like there's no question whether or not I'm going to do it let me Navy lummox s Lee not part of it about all of it and Lachine sorata me live coral mushroom ahora Lynette Tyra rather a person commits himself whatever the turret Chozen for me I choose as well.she vaca schlafen rock a classic so the only thing that he wants to understand is how do I do it was any Co I'm a drag I avoid elimination cuz I'm okay that's how the Jewish people were able to get this awesome high level for the first man before the sin ki me I'd shake demon nips because ooh I'm awesome the gamma ray as soon as I said there were NASA before the word nish ma so they ate Sahara that pulls them in the direction of doing something wrong completely left them and by the way this is something that you can see every single week every single week a person who's a smoker Shabbos he is commitment to Shabbos can't light a black can't light a match can't smoke a cigarette the person who's a smoker on Shabbos and I've heard this from people who are smokers has no eat Sahara to smoke he's not pulled at all in the direction of smoking could be at the end of Shabbos you can't wait for Shabbos to over so that he can smoke but there's no gates are harder to smoke why cuz there's a decision a commitment to Shabbos to the Torah that which the Torah wants for me I choose and it's there's no there's nothing to talk about that's my commitment that's the power of not seven is for the power of a commitment he said it has the ability to take away the person's yetzer Hara is evil and clinician okay that's the foundational idea that he lays down and now we need to understand we need to understand what is the idea that what happened at the time of the my sagal and era parsha what happened when the jewish people lost that exalted level and how did they get it back what was the chuhwa how did they return to that state and how do we return to that state so he says over here like this well tis my a casa da gama say huh how could it be that the jewish people created a golden calf a hawk or a Kazakh burkas oh and so they had such a clear understanding a clear recognition kailia do I show you erev rav a name it's known that the air of rob was amongst them so the first thing the first thing that we need to understand is that it wasn't the Jewish people who had this hot car had this recognition lassika diminish when we reach that level of the Mauritian who did the sin it was spearheaded by the heir of Rob which was the which was the group of people who came along within the converts who didn't have that same level that same enthusiasm as saying greatness as the Jewish people themselves in the iron bed of our name such in kamekona Tomoya killa tyre me either she rose bush Myesha another thing is that the jewish people saw as the torah testifies that moshe was late from oppression Hazael boucher Toberman your now yo man they made a mistake regard to how many days it was meant to take for moses to return so that's another issue while they why they ended up sinning Rachel Oh al qassam o shahe ish shoroma Shamu thomas pamita or the gomorian Shabbos says the measure our sages tell us that that as we mentioned earlier you ate Sahara Sutton showed them a vision of Moses dead in his coffin when mukla Hotel La Marche what what how can we how can we say that they were guilty give me how you learn last is never shoot all what could they have done since they made the mistake well at some ha hey go gank a new Holika von Schirach Lamonica shamrock especially funny no we can't we can't find a completely guilty in regard to the fact that they made this this golden calf either says the altar because they didn't mean originally didn't doesn't seem that they meant for it to be an idle to say that it was a God even though they rob we said that but they said I shall yell full of funny no that will go in front of us who will lead us as Moses had been doing will be met the MSR ulama come lit sighs Thank You Masha may seem your damned Ohio et al haena so there was certainly a room to make a mistake there were certainly a place for this mistake where is he where's Moshe who knows what's become of him excuse me Allan Kournikova room banished occur in Larry glam but he explains a deep depth in regards to what was the mistake and what could have been their way out of this mistake I'm Shana Robbie's akiza Baraka thesis a nominee kapakos he says that the way that Easter Hara works is that he is he's a liar he creates a false a falsehood a false image he creates something that fools you but the way that he does and this is the foundational concepts it's something that he mentions numerous times in the book he says that there's this thing called Paco's which is basically a shell game where you have we have three cups on a table and the guy has something underneath a cup whether it's a nut or whether it's a coin and he moves the cups around and use them around and you have to guess under which cup the coin is found okay and he is so quick the the the the speed is greater and faster than the eye and so he's able to trick a person out of his money should blame around been a automat like from a hammer meinem with this trick so it's possible through this quick handed type of tricks they're able to take the money of others called co-official of Jesus a name in Alabama huge so the whole power of it is through the quickness of it sure ma'am iron called Kaka says it's a Papoose I'll call it pocus hocus pocus sleight of hand he's able to quickly do something and trick people a chain of them you awfully stock oh bugger oh so it's impossible for a person to properly see you can't see it the hand is quicker than the eye Lou he be Berea kadhai but if a person would watch the videotape let's say original person would be able to look very clearly as he provided such a curve as you shabba one person would recognize the lie the falsehood the counterfeit nature what's going on Baraka mahira sunny flag Aramis lahat this is a Koosh it's only the immense quickness that tricks the senses that's how the y8 sahara works the eights are worth the same way between mamas in dark alley Itsuki asutton any oklahoma's alvera its restorative the ATR presents presents the the evil thing as something which is desirable part of its trick is that it's something that the human being knows is wrong is bad person remembers the guilty feeling you had last time he hurt someone's feelings the last time you did whatever sin it was but the eight sir Hara gets in called closely with a mire believe caustic coca the way that he works is quick quick you need this quick get it when it get it fast attribution or the masculine evil action void ice of the person would stop and think by the time the person gets to the point where he can stop and think Ferg or masu he's already done the sin or the mice issue I mean after I might say my shaft I and the person notices that it's already after the fact and all he has left is his thoughts about it and he realizes what a terrible mistake he's made Lehane Irish I mean impartial me darken off-key item him hue raava Maru and therefore those who are evil do not separate themselves from their evil ways even though you know that it's very bad and that it's something which is very bitter it doesn't end up tasting good in the end it's a it's good for a moment but afterwards it tastes very disgusting yank yeah yes sir my marble costume is not with faith Aslam ah sir so person who is accustomed himself who's obituaries in so they can't get out of it they just are always running back to it the it's our keeps getting them because it says quick get it quick get it but when I might see tell me that's not some of minuto so therefore the human being finds himself always being overcome by Zizzi harrah's evil inclination gamba my sago so to an our passion our story so the Golden Calf what happened there lo hostia coil is B they are suddenly Hari spits Robin let's assume resumes shanise shanise oh nice and my swing he couldn't have showed them in an outstanding way that Moses was dead and the angels were carrying him Yankee was using a door working he couldn't have made a very clear picture he couldn't have made an authentic picture because it wasn't true all right sir Soraka he's the same name that what she did was just sleight of hand it was a trick it looked a little bit if you would have looked carefully though you would have seen that it wasn't true Shamir Lyle you someone are moisten he did it quickly quickly Moses is dead quickly we need to replace him let's create an idol etc but it was all out of this quickness the sleight of hand is trickery Lois stock will be stock Escada if they would have looked with a sharp glance with a careful glance or not a glance with a careful looking law how you really Marshall row they wouldn't have seen that her eyelid over she shaded lady names to shine and you can we can we can prove that this is true because we see that the the tribe of lavey the Levites they didn't get involved in the sin why because it's even wish Emil a shame Eli well Charbonneau say whoever is for God come with me so the entire tribe of Lavy came maja Marigny Carla coalition zo if it would have been so clear and impossible to see through it medulla Kakashi I'm shaving labia love so why wasn't the tribal AV also involved in the sin clearly they weren't alcohol Jesus a nine white zircon clearly there was a slight of hand on a part of the Yeats of her al evil inclination me Sharat salute I saw who ever wanted to make a mistake or wasn't guarded perhaps enough against it made a mistake the shaven lady Schiller it's a little slick talk but the tribe of Levi wasn't interested in making this mistake did not make the mistake is ACH Muslim should I be - karai this was why they were guilty because they didn't look carefully enough they didn't examine the evidence they didn't give themselves the time and the patience well it's several as a toes hashish shows they also had this mistake of six hours of shaven label officially table emission ace and the tribal lady they didn't make that mistake that Moses died some gamma she shows lassies angle that didn't cause them the fact that it's six hours he's late etc etc I didn't cause them to show me off they were waiting maybe I'll come tomorrow what's the rush to make this leader this golden calf what's the rush they were willing to wait whom I saw a go new Cola dune from this sin of the golden calf we can learn we can understand sure dark I hate sir hey Mac he's insane I'm the wait at the gate Sahara the evil inclination works is through sleight of hand ochre composition in my room I say this whole power is quickly do the sin quickly pulls us along and tries to get us to do it quickly we don't have it here a beard a no but we still have the free choice the shaven lady might have is a time and the tribe of lavey teaches us it's the one that gives us this obligation to understand don't make this mistake becoming cynical aha Finch I hate la jolla passion coca we can also understand that the sin wasn't so simple kill the gamma form I say go low yard to me mad Reyes Montgomery this is an important point okay first let me just finish the previous point which is it's possible overcoming its are a major foundational way is saying wait it's not an emergency to run and do this sin hold on maybe tomorrow push off the essaouira let's see what happens let's see what happens and he points out something else which is really important which is that the Jewish people despite the my cycle didn't completely lose their level because we see like this commercial here Shoreham Bansal now manatees explains as a possibility ish Edgar love they didn't take off their crowns shakarez of SACEM he said some coca Hozuki the fact that they made this mistake the fact that it is something wrong was so clear to them the Jewish people recognize their sins so clearly Achin Islamic I'm on its teamjc go ass man Tyra Kashima halal ahem hey I got an amazing thing they took what there was a crown on their head the crown was that they would live forever but they realized this is all tarunarora can never saw this anywhere else I don't know he's bringing it from the room man so it must be it stated there it's his understanding of it that the Jewish people they took off their crown what does that mean they they gave up eternal life because somehow they knew that by giving up eternal life it would be a Khepera with its home for the great sin so that means that they were forgiven for their great sin of serving the idol starting serving the golden calf okay she yard-measure Menasha my mother she'll be are they now we find that that when moses came down from the mountain and he had the Torah in his hand this is talking about another eighty days later on Yom Kippur so while you certainly dearly struck with Kayla came with a rusty needed to teach the Jewish people the ways of God did laws and statutes you have mentioned a valueless plate is Haram what was his sat alone and he taught the nation I should but used to rejoice in my voice ovation like Jethro came and said him what are you doing why are you teaching them this way why there's so many people who how you gonna do it Avila how omlette racially Kim that listen to this it's also this is the same concept he's saying that people were coming to motion because they wanted to know what is God's will I knew amazing thing jadon a tears have bought me like a numb kisses some DNA tears she's my Michelle he was Amish Ali but as usual people are coming to Moses asking him to judge for them they were not coming and saying they were not involved agates are saying oh this is my another one saying no it's mine that wasn't what was going on a logic laughable addresses of Irish M people are coming to find out what is God's will for me they wanted to know what was God's will in this in this case especially it might be mine it might be yours what is the halacha they weren't coming with their egos they had given up their egos the answer I had left them the armor of the gun after I'm sorry I skipped commercial is a servitor question it was when he came to matters of money matters they had the same type of question as it was in regards to is this motor or ah sir is this permitted to eat or not so so now avoid sir honey like ideal ahem it's cookie and Hakeem entire race off a llevarlo correctly I consider he elect Bob Moses said to you sir oh I need to explain to them what they need to do well they should Louis Rollo Tomodachi oh you say Jethro responded and said there's something wrong with the way that you're doing this novelty Bell gamma 2 gamma amazi Ashima because there's something that they're a great negative thing is gonna come out of this he'll ooh how you bought him a lucky shot huh Dean exam of academia love ID if they were just coming to ask for you the laws of stealing etc your whole Thalassa stubborn about how that could have been done by herself to just tell them the laws all right sir hot Lidl ahem sedara Yacouba hamas assure ya soon each person is coming for individual spiritual advice what is my spiritual path how do I go along here it's not just simple cut-and-dry halacha they're coming to ask for spiritual guidance call echo defeat evil noise over me the eyes of each person according to his nature according to his character traits relationship talker is called echoed you need to take the time that's the vore here that's the concept you need to take the time in order for each individual to be able to battle as they are yes we're committed yes are you sorry when we were committed is I just want what the Torah wants I just want to do God's will not pulling at this thing because it's mine because of my ego I'm not sure whose it is we have an argument we won't understand it we're coming here not out of the eights are not out of evil inclination we're coming here because we want to know the truth and when that's the case mr. Thakur's Coleco be sure he's Barlow Haru Lucia call Eklavya hood as Zilla to colossus to vodka if you want to understand each and every individual it takes time yes sir always saying tomorrow you need to take the time you can't do that by yourself he nuts man rabbit through the kadolashadola very local echo this massive approach you need to take the time and you need to expend a tremendous amount of effort in order to clarify each and every person and understand his individual his individual needs and his individual spiritual state in sorry how to live carbon to Yanam shibam therefore you need to choose out the outstanding ones amongst the Jewish people salami dice some HP Varadero um sometime I'm sorry elephants or mayor's give them the power to be able to clarify to help out each person one person over a thousand one person over 100 but too late to la miel ahem a clever sir Hashem if you don't help them to clarify and be able to understand the way of God my ass Walker miss Oscar what will they do after your death Moses chose Ricardo to Cola Harris let me say Derrick Rashad yahuveh when they can no longer go in the way okay awesome and that's emotion but Harmon Co EE managed something via Lucia you learned a lot cameras came out here and so that's the history that we find most she gave it over to you sure you sure will give you know to the zucchini there were the seventy there was there was the story Messer I love him etcetera my name is surgical echo diamond la illaha Vav Mohammed like it was like an awesome group a group service of God everyone was helping everyone else to try to understand what is God's will how can each individual properly serve God in the way that was necessary so that's the amazing foundational idea that he's bringing and just to sum it up I want to bless you and I ask session to I ask you to bless me I should help each and every one of us to recognize the way that the Easter heart works that he works with with quickness trying to fool a person into a lie that the sin has some true advantage human being knows it's not true that's number one should help us to understand that number two it should help us to understand and recognize that if we slow it down we don't we don't rush into anything that's one way of dealing with it but the most foundational way um should help us to understand is that if we have a commitment NASA vanish MA if we are committed to Shabbos to Tara whatever I Shem has chosen what the tiger chooses for us that's the best for us without asking is not whether it's good for me but the question is only how do I do it if we come in with that attitude that nots of an issue of the Jewish people we recognize the ways of the SRR tries to get us out of that tries to bring us into the sin of a golden calf if we recognize that a Shem should help us to indeed recognize that to use the tools at our disposal to overcome that it's not overcome that evil inclination and always remain in that state of knots of an issue of commitment to our God thank you so much for listening have a wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you for more podcasts like this please visit www.gfi.com/webmonitor [Music]
