you're listening to the weekly partial podcast for the hurry goal drag record with lashauwn's never-ending assistance and room up which I'm sure Israel but these 779 2019 this week's partials parshas piccu day and we have an accounting of the different column in different parts of the mission of the tabernacle and before I jump into I'd like to share with you from our time Friedlander I just want to mention something which is connected to what I'm going to say what he's going to say and that is that each week as I come to prepare for this parsha podcast so the different places that I look different sources that I use often as you may have noticed over the last few years already I've used real-time free then they're safer and I'm excited that a new one just came out on safer Devoran so when we get to Deuteronomy this'll be the first year that we get to explore some of those topics I'll look there look in the men dish have a look recently the last two weeks I was sharing with you some concepts in my draga sawed them that it worked out with a Chicago brought this with God's divine intervention that the things that I was learning there with my son were connected to the parsha and this week I've been really this week last few months already I've been focusing personally a lot on the concept of be talkin of trust you know shame of trust in God and hash the calash M&C have caught throwing onto God our package throwing on Tosh em our needs I've been focusing and trying to work on that myself and and work Hashem in talking about it a lot and seeing a lot of our Chicago practice divine providence around getting guidance from a Shem finding other people that are interested in a topic and indeed starting to be talking podcasts which we've already done three of and so when I started this week's parsha to look around I really wanted to speak about the concept of batalha I really wanted to continue in this in this vein I have somebody in the mornings I spend a few hours learning Torah in the mornings and there's a guy in the basement there who we've been talking a lot about be talkin we've been discussing it we've been talking about my draga Sodom the altar of Navarre Dec the schita the opinion that you can just trust in God without doing any hash table doing any efforts I shall send it to a person depending upon a person's level so I was excited extremely excited I felt very grateful to assume that there are two pieces in the Cystic kind this week on partials Baku day so the pieces are often very long and usually eight pages or so eight nine pages or so and I find that it's about five minutes per page if I'm going to incorporate it into my podcast just give me a little background on what goes on goes into creating this podcast this year and so when when that's the case so then I need to actually cut it down and break it down and because I try to keep it to about 20 minutes 25 minutes half an hour maximum so but if that that really means like four to five pages and sometimes that's not even enough time for that so so this week there were two pieces one of which was a long piece and then he asked some pieces which interestingly are based some of them are based on the sheer and the notes of his students and some of them are race are based on his remote his own personal notes he may not have actually given over the sheer in public claiming free land there was the mushiya in a few different places to a few different yeshivas and so those pieces are often shorter and can can get down to three or four pages sometimes five but they they're nice because they're bite-sized and I can you often use the entire piece to give over this share okay with that background so I'm excited that part of the topic today has to do with the concept of Utah home but the main idea the main thrust of what he's trying to speak about is the concept of i'm tyfa and i Inara which means having a good I having a positive view and having a negative view and the spiritual ramifications of these two different ways of approaching and looking at the world because the thoughts that we have the the way that we see things in the world effects ourselves and others and we have a concept classically people say can I in Hara that it should be without and Jara things should be you know when we talk about any good things that are going on in our lives we don't want it to be an iron hora we don't want people to look at it negatively we want people to look at things positively but what is the idea behind that and how does that what does that have to do with our parsha we're gonna find out let's see how many meets Etica do should Grimshaw bracha Sharia love when we we're gonna speak about the concept of counting because as you mentioned at the beginning there's an enumeration in our partial there's a little bit coude Amishman these are the counting's these are the this is the accounting then went on in regards to the the gold is silver the different K in them all of the vessels that were created so there was an accounting there was an enumeration of all of those things now ordinarily we were going to see we find when it comes to counting things there's a negative aspect of counting them counting things can bring about an eye in Hara a negative view of those things and we'll see what is it what exactly does it mean what does it mean that somebody sees something negatively what is how does that affect it let's see annealing how missional number of initial when a name nokama parliament the concept of the Mishkan was said and repeated and counted a number of times the frat mean and pakodi Hamish more specifically the counting of the accounting of the Michigan of the tabernacle comes a cassavas of an equation shimon Myshkin how much gold and silver and bronze was in the tabernacle the h the havi no I do a hot area month circles ever need to understand why did the Torah enumerate these things car a in Abraha mozzarella but the WrestleMania ayan we have a general principle the sukumaran tiny son of kazuma base page 8 a 8 B and that is that when we want blessings to come into a place we want blessings to befoul to take effect on a certain thing so it has to be something which is hidden from the eye we don't want it to be looked at a person wants to be rich person wants to have hats laka so the best thing is to beat sneeze the best thing is to be modest about those things if a person is trying to accomplish things the same person is trying to finish shots you're trying to finish difference for him so there's an idea that it's not something that's necessarily supposed to be shared with the public of course there's idea of inspiring others that certainly needs to be taken into account but we want blessings to come upon something we want to cover it up so it shouldn't be seen so the question is why is it then regards to the mission of the tabernacle the Torah is enumerated the Torah is giving us a break down account of what happened there that what all the goings-on were kikuchiyo bazaar this question is asked in a Tsar maybe a skosh or later edition I'm gonna read to you from the Tsar he brings here like this Revere's clock ask the final question already Shimon bar Yohai I'm early he said ha kumuda because Allah's Sharia the meal to come him in D do we find that blessings do not take effect on something which is counted Luba Mila dicamba Koosh mana and something that an accounting is made of how can we miss Jana I might have a color but cool about Lena why is it that when it comes to the tabernacle everything is indeed counted everything is indeed given an accounting overlay so be sure mind I answered him hi it's Marv we know that it said alcohol attired the citric the kedusha Shia lay an amazing thing it's there's an important distinction when our blessings going to come upon something or when are they not going to come upon something any place where the side of holiness is there is taking effect yahushua Nasia messager the kedusha if that counting if that accounting is connected to the side of holiness to hashem to godliness Beerfest of Charlotte order so the blessing is always found there like a sardine mania and the counting doesn't have a negative effect me now on me mice we find that this is true in regards to the tithe began the hacia coachman in the coach Shah since the counting is coming when a person counts off his his excuse me when a person counts the produce that has come in that he has produced in order to give off a tenth of it as a tithe because our stock cuts pay so the effect is that a blessing comes upon it like like we mentioned I believe it was last week uh perhaps the weeks before us there she'll shoot this I share when a person gives my so when he counts it in order to give off a tithe to charity the result is that there are blessings the person gets he becomes rich kosha gain Mushka know certainly when it came to the tabernacle do you cut ish I see mr. Jude the Kaddish it itself is holy and it comes from the side of holiness it's all about the entire essence of the tabernacle was in order to connect to the side of holiness to godliness about kosher meal Adama but all other matters in the world delight I see mr. Chu the kedusha which do not come from the side of holiness bierko's la sha really OCAD in on the couch burner the blessing can excuse me cannot take hold can I take effect if those things are counted begin the Citra ah de hoorah iein because the other side the side of evil which is the evil eye yo Elish alto la can can rule over it k.michelle tal is since it can take effect on it Priscilla Jacques Bay the blessing will not be found by begin de la youtuber hanamura I am because the blessing cannot come upon something which has a negative eye upon it now sheriff edge when one meets at a halt when the counting comes from the side of the mundane is it Greg lucky this is already the time Friedlander explaining when it comes from the side of the mundane is it girl my life Jesus has cetera I'm Evy lion Rho so then it allows for something for the other side but slightly evil to take take effect there and it brings to an evil I actually should see this I mean you meet Santa kedusha however when the counting is connected to holiness you get my serve for example when it comes to my sir aim by of his illicit rocker so then the evil the evil side the side of evil does not have any place to hold on either of us and maybe Brock of the other way around counting such a thing brings about blessings but ok Manu come upon me miss been in the Mishkan so therefore when it came to the tabernacle we counted Norris times heinous kesef piccu Dan so to the the silver came in ship bombing tzedakah dushashana's Iraq I entire so only a good eye is found there and we're going to soon see what that means what is the concept of the evil eye what is the concept that if we look at things negatively so then it can bring about some kind of negative effect what is the idea behind that so what's something that's holy something that's the tabernacle the more it's counted the more I until eva is involved there's a positive eye there there's a scheana there's blessings there's divine presence is found there so it's it's not a negative thing when it comes to something which is connected to holiness ok let's see this further there's a concept toy on Eve IRA that the one who has a positive I will be blessed over blitt will bring about blessings it's a because all our sages say and it's in the y'all cook in mish lay in Proverbs the Baraka is a Sbrocco a Savas Allah brother should be raised below it says in regards to the blessings that Moses gave to the Jewish people it says and this is the blessing and this is the blessing what is and this because there's an additional aspect of Moses blessing at the end of seyforth varam the end of Deuteronomy which is beyond the blessings interestingly of Bill o Maharaja of the evil bilam show you royal avoir came Sheva Broca's Koenig is sheva mitzvos because bilam it would have been appropriate for him to give seven blessings to the Jewish people corresponding to the seven miss Baker's the seven altars that he had built in order interestingly to curse the Jewish people who like bear Canela shalosh all he did was actually bless him with three blessings Shannon Marvin a beer after beer out a short poem as Bullock said to Balaam you bless them three times oh my gosh one who got set in Russia Atta ain't hurt sir Oliver cim yux evil one God said to Balaam your eye is too constricted you have an evil eye Billa - the one who has the evil eye is a constricted I it is not interested in blessing in more than three times I finally Annie must because your closet Ashly mere hosting Shirley's well I am NOT going to let you complete your blessings of the Jewish people Baumeister shan and your fellow Bharath Israel Moses who had a positive I was able to look at the Jewish people in a positive way so he was able to complete the seven blessings by adding four of his own the Oliver and about him King Solomon said tithe ayan hooyah vara the one who has a good eye he will be blessed alta carya vera hella Yavor ik don't read it will be blessed but rather he shall bless moses who had a positive eyes so he gave the full blessings to the Jewish people americana era Braavos and it says that the the measure says that he gave him four blessings by how much is calm a lock of a glimmer the verse tells us that after Moses saw that all had been completed in regards to the creation of the Mishkan Maya verify submission Moses gave them a blessing by eight to be work who Assam so that's number two we went out and bless the nation shall move Kaiba 7yo I said let him go hmmm there's the blessing and selfish am the God your father's will add on to you vis a Sbrocco and he says also and this is the blessing so four times Moshe Rabbeinu gave blessings to the Jewish people and it was to complete the seven that bilham had only done three so it's an amazing thing well abraca with a epic Hawk Lella you clear the feedstock assign the blessings explains explains Durkheim Friedlander the blessings and the opposite of the blessings depend on the way person sees things tell you I knew you were a turbine who you Vorik a person who has a positive look has a positive I who sees things in a positive way he can give blessings he will give blessings bloom Oh Holly a hold of our casis well bill could not bless the Jewish people why Gilly ayan rock because he had an evil I can assure ruts about car cadaver cassis row and even when he wanted against his will to bless the people of Israel know how Yaya he wasn't able to give me a quiet high in raw because of his evil eye Shibuya house live shows the vertices well he had a constricted way of seeing things he saw the world in a constricted way and he wanted to say negative things about the Jewish people and therefore he wasn't even able to bless them beyond those three Lumas ace but in comparison to this most shyly I am TiVo he had a positive eye he had a good way of looking at the Jewish people show hello I am Tony vihari yeaa oxmonkey Gor Malloy it was the seeing itself that caused him shoe you've orifices well that he be able to bless the people of Israel because it says via Mauritius call Aloha Moses saw all that they had done by virtus ameesha and he blessed them so it was his ability to see the positive that gave him the that same ability to give the full blessings to the Jewish people ok a caduceus lady me Varma do I use a condom a minion the conditional AV explains in part is be good in our partial what is the problem what is the danger when it comes to counting things sure Cheryl of I in raw why does it ordinarily involve the evil eye what is the idea so he says like this and here's the Corvina Sherri Shia Nora who can my bilham the root of I in rah of an evil eye is like villain debacle Malcolm should not say naina I am mayera boy Sarah ever wherever he looked whatever he he paid attention to he brought curses on that thing my friend Sarah Russia is taco but I say over because he would look this evil person would look at those that thing he freed I say me sure Shelia no crime he would detach it from its supernal roots which is the the source of all life which is Hashem mawkish a yellow docker I said over by a diver naturally enough because he focused so much on the thing he was not sure he made it cautiously made it important in and of itself and he therefore detached from God for Lois talk of a chemical Shh but said he didn't see the godliness that was inherent within that thing he saw it only on the surface level and therefore he detached it that's ayan Hara Hara is seeing things in a negative way without seeing that there's something spiritual that's animating it that there's godliness animating it a vogue Abhi's are destructive in regards to the people of Israel verse says a neckla bra face with Esmond half a depreciation with fashion well he they lead a minion who misper when it comes I'm sorry laid that well they demean atmosphere when it comes to Jewish people when we come to count things so it's not usually counting is saying this is separate this is separate here are the individual pieces right but that's not how the Jewish person approaches the concert accounting fall peeking and I'm Mizuki stockless as a this doesn't when we see it separately recounting each and every individual piece it doesn't cause damage each is Rayleigh when it comes to the way an Israelite person approaches things but Cole never share I'll mystical everything that he looks at and he pays attention to Israeli collaboration in Cebu we have the unique ability to look at it and see that it is God manifesting through this item through this aspect through this thing k.michelle Malaga d'Ivoire will assure shy since the Jew has ability to connect something to its root which is godliness as Berea haleh's Oh mom she's brought a Chevy mimic Aurelio and Aldebaran so with this type of looking that's called an INT ver the ioan Rossi's that detaches it from God I entire of the Jew looks at it sees the goodness sees its connection to a sham massage across available qu di Myshkin that's why there's a counting in regards to the tabernacle mish gumption even a called overcome upon him in regards to tabernacle everything was counted numerous times and NASA management everything was done with an accounting yeah hope he can i Abraha Shekinah shari ba even though ordinarily counting something is negative it's a and it's making it something separate when it came to the tabernacle was the other way around in fact blessings and divine presence was found within those things that were counting other rubbish ah I mean insert guevara since the counting was something which is necessary for a lofty purpose is there sure cuz of a shirt pocket LP moisha that's why it says it was counted based on moshus word maha she got some enemy pin moisture since the counting came out of motions now a bit vaguely kaduche Alyona he had an awesome connection to sham and he had awesome holiness father rebelled indecisive braja threw him the blessings were added more blessings came upon the tabernacle and his counting okay that's the quote from the caduceus la vie move or Bizet says the sister time what do we see from here shamone s for who she is for zion rah when a person counts this is this is foundation listen to this concept is so powerful when a person excuse me when a person counts the the money that he has or the possessions that he has he looks at everything any talents that he's looking at it there's an aspect of I in Hara there's an aspect of negative look yeah they're misper we'll give you all nice and light in letting you know my gosh from cashews her hats me by counting it he's giving it something an intrinsic value in array aha Shiva's become Ashley Ashley Chumash in his work he doesn't recognize that the important thing here is that what makes it important is that it comes from God where do I have the money that I have where do I get my livelihood where do I get it from it's not my boss it's not the the person who has hired me for a job it's none of that it's just Shem God sending his livelihood his his per se I see that must be local pirates and his sustenance happens to be a person is giving me the money but where is it really coming through from where is it really coming just through that person are you the cattleman not because the varnish Irishman Shem is Barack not having that understanding can cause a person to disconnect from a Shem a Russia Shama stock Allah called a lot of Arafat's me a person who looks at it as something intrinsic to itself how much money I have police Ebola coach Parker without attachment hashem venus criteria to me adi seeing that it's my power my abilities they may be a sea lion raw so that person has a negative i pink lemon lemon bar Hashemi ish the kaveri harvey is such a person also when he sees let's say someone else is very rich he has a lot of money or has a lot of success so a person who recognizes that all this success that he has and that anyone has is all from a Shem so they can see anyone success is something positive because it's another manifestation of godliness in the world wow look at this amazing success it's amazing manifestation of a Shem in the world I'm Eric but the person who doesn't have that recognition just sees himself as separate from a sham sees himself as separate so everyone is separate so then he says oh she a semi mushroomed sorrowful he's upset that someone else has more money than he needs when do I aim lee kamishirasawa read how come I don't have as much as my friend I need to show that Varma chemise boroff it's a nice and welcome Aikido source which chakra so when person separates himself and everyone else around him he looks at things with this evil eye he looks at things with a negative way so it provides an opportunity for the side of evil to take hold there Zi mo Musa should bilham should not Sahara so this was the essence of who bilham was that he was somebody who gave an eye he had a negative look on everything you stock all cold over cuz she was at some is he gave everything it's all intrinsic value and separated it from God neat that guy's i mean i clear - Amy's Mara merely a schmuck on the whole biophysicist a chakra this gave a place for the side of evil to take hold on them then here's we get to be talking other mob attacked by sham somebody who trusts in God in a red circle nessus for she doesn't see the need to count how much money yes how many views he has on YouTube how many how much is how much money is in the bank how much how many people are listening to his songs you know ribosome is for greater because such a person doesn't see that the the number as something in and of itself who kind of Argo she should go read I'm a couple chef a coalition ahem so he lives with a feeling that each moment he's getting a new sustenance a new outpouring of goodness of spirituality from God mystical Akasha is like Gaelic never deceive Shem he sees everything that's going on in his life everything that he has is a piece of his service of God Ida Kakuma charisma coucher oh sure sure you're talking as they shine through this he attaches himself and all of his possessions to their true root which is that they are dependent upon the kindness of God Levinas uh sure symmetrically so then he comes into this aspect of a rich person who is happy with his lot the mela share Abraha Bama mile and therefore through this way so blessings come upon his money and I will add that busting come upon all the people that he sees because everywhere he goes everywhere he turns he sees that God is there he sees the manifestation of godliness and the success of others in the success of himself and that itself that way of looking at things it shoots out it creates a powerful spiritual force in his own life in the life of all of those around him and it attracts blessings to himself and to others it's an amazing thing and here we are basically at the amount of time which I have which I would like to spend on this but it's an amazing thing is a beautiful thing that when it comes to spiritual things it's permitted to count why because if we look at it as attached to God if we look at it as attached to spirituality so then the counting itself doesn't separates that item from God and therefore blessings the more we look at it positively the more we look at it as rooted in Hashem the more blessings will come to come to and through those items and that's why in the tabernacle it was it was something which was constantly done accounting so I want to bless you and ask you to bless me Shem should help us to be able to incorporate this idea to have an eye on TiVo positive look to recognize that all of our blessings in our life whether it's health whether it's happiness whether it's as our spouse whether it's our children whether it's the the money that we have whether it's the blessings that we have the ability to study the Torah all these different things some should help us to recognize that they are not cost sure they're not important in and of themselves but rather they are something which is a manifestation of godliness in our lives and ashram should help us to steer away from the ioan Hara to steer away from looking at things as separate from God should help us to be able to have a positive view of others who perhaps we would naturally be jealous of but recognize that what I have is what God wants me to have what the other person has is what God wants them to have it's just a manifestation of godliness ashram should help us to have the proper look the proper eye in and we should be blessed with so many blessings thank you so much for listening I have wonderful
