within his heart those very understandings were those very pieces of information which he knows full well I really mean uh Sakura use my dragons my dragons we see that when it comes to recognition there different levels can move or bypass up verse says in chapter 30 verse 3 of Exodus also in our partial a male always say roughly came a couple but - no / - and speaking about potala I'm speaking about the one who would construct a Michigan so God says I filled him up with a Spirit of God with wisdom with understanding and with das with knowledge what are these three different levels of wisdom wisdom understanding knowledge cosa Rashi bakoma Masha autumn shame and vomit and vomit hokhmah is something that a person has learned from others okay maven mash me bein Russia sorry maybe Masha

to cover Mohammed deepening one's knowledge based on what they've already learned if you know daya the diamond stuff Shoshanna - Alicia my man advice if a person can then take the information that he has and be able to apply it and say ok this is what I've heard this is what I've been taught here's how I apply it to other cases which it wasn't specified it wasn't specifically spoken of oh my let me say my draggers hadass above that is the aspect of knowledge which appear shoe gear velvety bikinis Lamar was idea of knowledge idea of knowledge is the deepest depth of knowing is where a person has a closeness and a love and inner love to that matter commercial course of Rashi like Rashi says this is in Genesis chapter 18 verse 19 the adaptive lotion kiba God speaks of Abraham and somebody that he knows what his idea of knowing it means loving lotion Cohiba oh no a girl uh Cinque Coulomb inna ella luscinia dear Shama calavius an automatic are very severe they Mikey Roy somebody who

evenly Vishal Adam aspect of you dear denotes or connotes the concept of of having a an emotional connection to the concept maha venus is co massive and that is something which directs a person's actions when i feel emotionally connected to something that's what I'm willing to give it up give it my all that's when I that's when I am willing to do it right all the way although miss academic style shall a person is at the place of the idea of knowing so that person feels at a certain state of oneness and identified with that which he knows well hey Murdock OVA Dukey and that's what the verse says that through the divine presence dwelling on the Jewish people they will know that I am a Shem litem our view of vino doesn't say they will understand or they may lash in viña amazing it says VA do they will know intimately they will feel emotionally connected to it kill my driggity idea i mukha cause socially Seasons Bora because when it comes to this type of deep level of knowledge of God having taken the Jewish people out of Egypt Oh Kyle I'm a clue you've busy I'll call them a clue of means em awareness of Shem value Ali their shots of cannabis circum so a person reaches that level through harsh Rosh Hashanah through the divine presence which it's possible for a person to achieve even today it's possible for a person to access the level of divine presence the person experiences an embarrassing situation doesn't say anything that is an example of a cos øz say bring about a certain level of divine presence there's different examples of it I'm not going to get into it at length it's not as easily attainable but we will speak now about some ideas in some ways that we can indeed a team transfer the the level of knowledge the intellectual understanding that we have to the places of our heart so the first way is as we said this aspect of Josephina divine presence the second is the concept of prayer Fila an example of this is the prayer of a Lodge of the Prophet on Mount Carmel law or you say Zahra Soraka they were yes helene like Amos Amos based on this concept which is that only by having an experience an emotional experience a heartfelt experience are we able to truly understand and recognize the truth beer morena vara be know of destler solace of my sevillio amana vieja bow bara carmel so this concept where daesil used to explain what happened on Mount Carmel Shakur even a para mechelen diabolical the Torah tells us in Tanakh and the prophets that each group brought a Corbin brought a sacrifice yeah about the false prophets brought a sacrifice to the bowel and Elijah the Prophet brought one to God with carbon emission available oh yes Cabo the sacrifice of the false prophets was not received a her calf nagashi Leo decree vez para la sham and then Elijah the prophet comes to bring his sacrifice come on rutila wash em he stood in prayer to God and he said on a knee a shame on a knee he said God please answer me the a dilemma Zakia Tosh on the Kim and then the nation will know the you are a shame our God atashi wa I see boys leave a rawness for Asiata hmm I'm so then the fire comes down from heaven the Tricolore I love is a 8cms eponymous offer as a mine the H the fire comes down it consumes the sacrificed of the the the wood the stones everything that was there the water by our Columbia pull up name by Muhammad like a man like him everybody saw this so they were amazed by it and they realized that there's only one God the H lava so we need to understand Harry at CERCLA to feel ashame is markets if the rock of cashel and pile but I sell does at smite when it comes to praying on a person's doing his own thing ah passion and we understand that it makes sense you know if I'm praying uh you need gotta tell me because I'm doing something and I need God's help but share a sham similarly Allah says is called mosh also will perish Leah Hashemi spawn Lodge the Prophet he was a Messenger of God God had sent him to do this what's the understanding why is he need to be praying to God to help him with this mom welcome with Feliz oh uh Nina Sherman a knee why does he need to say God please answer me please answer me why is he why is he praying about this is God's he's God's messenger here Oh beer shall nourish MC voice a lot sizes Kamala and Rev desta explains that while it's true that God is the one who commanded him to take all these actions okay they should use : a shoot air - miss Sherman in order for the miracle to occur the fire will come down from heaven Saoirse Cuba moon oscillates matinees they would need the Jewish people would need to recognize enough to just see it as we've been saying in order for them to appreciate the power of the miracle so it would require certain bringing it to their hearts a cars are you talking wrap in volunteer to make his passion this type of understanding this type of communication between the mind and the heart is only possible through a connection to Hashem if they have that connection that feeling of closeness us and yet kuba nice then they will be able to recognize this this is a great miracle and will have an effect on them I'm the mic hot car Simona Benes salim abbud here awesome that type of recognition and faith in the miracle is something which depends on their free will come welcome despite that Shia how's it feel of shamika's Villa hello speaking Russian women triggers advocacy sham through his prayer was possible for him to raise up their level of freewill such that it would be easier for them to have a connection to God and that the miracle would have an effect on them emotionally Kofi sure dar should be Gemara like the Gemara brother says it's a share amar de palma maintaining this said it says twice he said answer me twice a naina shoot a radiation when shamayim first of all answer me that the fire should come down from heaven it's an initial IMO mastic shop name and also answer me that people shouldn't say that it was just witchcraft an indicia taran-ish mastermind Sheikh he wishes an ace means they don't make me first of all answer me that the fire should come down and they should recognize that it's a miracle and they shouldn't think that it's just a happenstance type of event Akiyama nourishes a mushroom you Cod kurohagi sativa there will be those who will indeed recognize that it's something uncommon and unusual it's not the regular natural event while him aluminum arsenic on my section but they could say that it's witchcraft okay nice of you till I say and initially you know myself me that therefore he said that also please answer me that they shouldn't say that it's witchcraft is si si void and this is why you also savy a Dookie etosha sham who are like him you should know and they will know you are a sham the god boys Islamic arenas Haleiwa Quran Ismail Emma Shem the heart which they have which has turned aside from believing in God to save avoid some kisara she resonates the emotions that are at play here that have turned them away from God let those emotions turn them back to God that was his prayer okay so that's the second way the first route is through a Shekinah divine presence that can cause a person to be aware of or to for it to communicate - sorry the second one is prayer through prayer through Tefila we can ask God to help us - to be able to have that communication between our mind and heart the things that we know the things that we see even should be something which affects our emotions okay here's where we come to the third aspect it's called a Munna baraboo trusting in one's teacher Dubonnet service cash Alisha shulansky cozy another example of this does reclaim Freelander is that when Elisha sent he caused either a sash lemon Arshavin a tsunamis so we've spoken in previous weeks about the woman who had psi Mason done for her her child died Elisha a novice sends his servant gehazi to bring him back to life so in those verses it says costume I am early get Hussey hozuki so he sent him to do the act he didn't end up being able to successfully do it Elisha himself went and brought the child back to life but in the original slick who's that he sent him on he said by Emily Kostich Edgar must have accomplished auntie Bea I'll cover later take my my staff and and go so he was giving over the spiritual power to bring a child back to life he tinsel each later volcano feverishly tanana if you find somebody don't say hello to him don't bless him if someone blesses you do not respond if it's something Ashanti opnion are and place my staff on the face of the child Tomer by our name on our hammock line - hi so Chloe Aloha rel so they go we get has he ever left name SMS machinist up in an RV in kovaydin cash if it didn't work via show the cross the very level a more like it's an art came back and he said the child didn't wake up so haha got a leash wats maybe half yet so now like we said Alicia then goes and brings the child back to life fish lovin so he says we need to understand my doer why is the kitchen shock has ki kasam early Janish lamb leash so because he said to him he was told I'm sorry Alicia told Kakashi don't say anything to anybody don't respond don't don't give don't give a blessing that I don't respond to his blessing hey my how your koi fish out Jimenez what was the idea what was the power of the staff or what could have been if he hadn't messed it up his beer marina vorobei knows it's out so if Nestle explains che cose like hi about my dragon royal eraser nice if John Arcana Thea because he was not on the level he'll be able to see this in this great miracle home odd ragazzi it stamps a macaque versus an entire community available Isha there's a concept of a person if they trust in their teacher even though they don't have the level which is necessary in order to see a miracle but if let's say someone trusts or believes in his Rebbe or his his whatever it is his teacher okay okay nothing I Alicia as a machinist it's as if any man who the purpose of the staff was that guy cuz II have a remembrance of his teacher should yellow has had a special officially Alicia couldn't turn his mind away from the task that Alicia had given to him like the Catholic Allah say snakes he would have been able to to do an ace to perform a miracle he literally sighs Kevin Shirley how you machi Renee's Colossus is an ace because without this he wasn't somebody who is typical of him to be able to perform a miracle but by staying focused on the original command and my staying focused on the staff in his hand which belonged to Elisha so then he would have been able to do it he would have been able to do only communist common militia through his belief in his teacher okay and I also added a beret mich dass me Ashley official Robert near for was it was imperative they shouldn't speak to anybody you shouldn't his mind off of the command of his of his teacher keel is coaster is nice ignored some merit to see America last season a same dive a cars a safe outlet surface occurs a moon above she believes so it's possible to get to a certain level of where the intellect speaks to the heart through one's trust in the rebbe through his trust in the teacher who teaches him the concept so we can have a transference so to speak of if the teacher has that ability the teacher has that feeling within the heart of connectedness to what they know so it can be transferred to the student but it's student trusting or believing in and not taking his mind off of his teacher ok so that was the third way so the bottom line here is as he finishes off and says low or zeis based on this nubbin show such an abuse well what is the bottom line reason of what we said at the very beginning which is the divine presence which is found amongst the people of Israel God places his divine presence what's it for he was sure enough from tomat niha he took the Vagos Holly Buscemi's Bora the purpose is so that we can live with a connection a heartfelt connection an emotional connection touch them why they cannot hear beneath some shadow Co Sun streaming through this we can not only have an intellectual understanding of the miracles of Egypt but rather we can have an emotional conception of the miracles of the Jewish people's Exodus is that y'all get us out of the Vegas to municipal blurry and this is something that can bring us to a constant feeling of connections so we have these three aspects we have aspect of prayer an aspect of our show such clean end of God's divine presence and the aspect of trusting in our teachers and I want to bless you and ask you to bless me that a Shem should help us to be able to find within our lives the places where God's divine presence is there so that it can help us to to connect our minds and our hearts that which we know some should help us to use our prayers some job was to use the opportunity that prayer represents and presents to us to be able to ask for this bridge between mind and heart and finally be able to find the right teachers the people that actually have this attribute who have traversed the distance between mind and heart so that we can first of all learn from them and second of all trust them and be able to use that trust in order to find this great and deep connection to a sham which has the ability to help us see miracles
