Pesach - Revelation at the Sea

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with ari goldwag recorded with hashem's never-ending assistance in ramaphichemichiro5781 2021. this week we don't have a parsha it's the last day of pesach i'd like to share with you some thoughts about what does it mean what is the concept of the last day of pesach the jewish people go through the sea the yamsuf it was seven days since they had left egypt and there they were facing on one side the egyptians coming after them to enslave them once again and on the other side was the sea and because says to moshe will tell the jewish people to go into the sea they go into the sea the waters split and the jewish people go through they're called your dayayam as we'll see in the measure should they go down into the sea and there they are on dry land they come to the other side and they praise hashem isha a beautiful song and it's a song that we're going to sing in the future as well when meshiach when the messiah arrives and i'd like to share with you a thought before i get into the thought that has to do with the last day of pesach that's to do with the shira sayam i just want to share with you one very small quick thing where in the you may have svera they may have several start from the second day of pesach and go until shus the day before shus we count 49 days and this is a time where we're leading up we're getting ready for kabal satyra just like the jews in that time they they went out of egypt and then 49 days later they received the torah at arsenal mount sinai so to we are gearing up to receive the torah but this time as a special significance on the jewish calendar for the last two thousand years so doesn't go back three and a half thousand years it goes back only two thousand years that significance is that we commemorate the passing of 24 000 students of rebbi akiva we have a certain level of mourning even though it's a happy time we have a certain level of mourning of sadness we don't shave we don't listen to regular music many people listen only to vocal music just voices and we can i feel like it's important to take a note right now as we finish pesach as we're about to go into the regular experience of the sphere that twenty four thousand students of rubikiba died in uh in a plague in a plague twenty four thousand students where we kiva died and before we experienced this the plague we are currently going through before we had this experience i think it was hard to relate to it hard to imagine so many people dying such a small amount of time hard to feel anything for it great sadiq okay 2000 years ago but i think today we have a different understanding of a different view of it and i think that it's important to think about it and to take it to heart as we come into this time rebi akiva lost his students 24th can you imagine a rebbe a teacher a godlador he was the balmisera he was the one who gave over the tradition to the next generation he had 24 000 students they all died in a very short amount of time what a devastating loss uh incredible loss but i was thinking that he came out with five students five students after that and those five students were to be the bali missouri amongst them so those five students were to be the most balay messier so even though he lost so much but we never know we think it's in the numbers we think it's in the awesome great deeds that we've done we often can make that mistake but this is an aside this is just a thought that i had i was in new shalom i'm going to be back in your salon for shabbos and uh i was driving back to ramaphisamesh order to work on this podcast and i i was thinking about this i was thinking about this idea that you never know you could do a small thing some people you know have impact on on thousands and millions and that's important and some people have a smaller impact but you never know who's going to be the great one you might think 24 000 wow i'm not belittling the deaths those deaths but we never know i feel like that's a possible lesson that we can take out of that it's worth thinking about and contemplating as we go into the yume sphera and also relating to that to that sadness that great loss of torah scholarship and i think it relates actually to what i'd like to share with you um from the shiraz hayam so we did speak about these words before a completely different idea zekely related to the song that i sang but i'd like to share with you another thought which is here in paris bashar in the end of the 24th section of majestra banshmi so it see how amazing it is how great it is see how great they were those who went down into the sea moses was asking and begging hashem please hashem let me see your greatness later on chapter 33 verse 18. marshmallow begs god please let me see i want to see your face i want to understand the deepest steps why is it that good things happen to bad people why do bad things happen to good people we're like i want to see the big picture who god says to him you cannot see my face you can't see the whole thing you can't see the whole picture they were only able i'm sorry masha was only able to see who as it were we have to know what this means but he was only able to see the big picture as hazal explained it was only able to see from the other side from behind from the you know hashem passes by and then he looks he's hidden until hashem passes by as it were give yahoo right it doesn't mean literally it's conceptually but claudius realized at they went down into the sea they said zack k lee von vaux zeke was a very different kind of statement zacchaeli means this is my god as i'll say whenever you hear the word zed in entire this it means there was appointing when god said to moses this is the month for you this is your month the month of nisan so he points and he shows him this is what the new moon looks like zacchaeli the yard hayam were able to point they had such a clear vision such a clear revelation of a kodeshibaraku of god they saw everything they were able to see the entire picture as it were we have to be careful hakashama means we're not allowed to give any kind of image to god god is not physical it's forbidden to believe that to think about it that way but they were able to see the big picture that's what it seems to me moshe albino himself later on was not able to ask for that ability it was a one-time deal actually we'll find out there was another time but we'll get to that these angelic beings who carry the giza cover the throne of god's glory ain't non-mccarran says are the most they don't know what god looks like as it were but they need to sing they need to praise god they say we don't know what he looks like we don't know where he is we don't know if he's here if he's there even though in the song he goes hashem hashem is there hashem is truly everywhere we don't know where hashem is we don't we can't relate to to god in that way he's not confined by space these angels have the most direct connection to god they're carrying his throne as it were they're the ones who are doing his bidding doing his will that's what it means to carry his throne jewish people also our our souls are connected to the throne of god it means that he rides upon us it manifests through us and yet these angels they say we don't know where he is from his place wherever that may be blessed is the honor of god from its [Music] place interesting here and i don't know the shot in this but it says here i am when they came up from the sea right before it talked about the yorda yam they went down into the sea which we will see i do have a thought about that but the oil i am perhaps we'll have a thought about oil as well it's a different experience the jewish people have a different experience than the angels the angels can't can't point they don't know where he is as it were but somehow in some conceptual way we need to understand what it means it's not literal but the jewish people are able to point and say this is god this is where he is zekely van veu this is my god i shall glorify him god says the jewish people this was a one-time deal this is a one-time deal in this world it was one time you were there at yamsuf you said this is my god you you were able to identify me you were able to have a true perception of me of allah said in the future you're going to say this twice it's not just a one-time deal and as maforshim say it's not just twice it means the second time is the charm the second time is forever um on that day which is a reference to when the mashiach comes when the messiah arrives and the future time we will say like this this is our god this is our god he like that behold this is our god kivino this is our god and we will rejoice with him we will rejoice in his salvation okay so there's gonna be a future time where we're going to say it we're never going to stop saying it so what is the concept here what does this mean what does it mean we point to god and we can say we see him we don't we can't see god we can't can't talk about akshama you can't talk about any physical uh description of god right as the puzzle tells us the jews even though when they were at harsina they saw god as it were larry's some call tuna they didn't see any picture they had an experience of god they they did some kind of seeing not a literal seeing but an all-incom like when you see something you see a whole picture a picture's worth a thousand words they had an all-encompassing perception of god why was that unique i mean we see it by cni but somehow it was more unique it seems bayamsuf as the jewish people came down into the sea your day i am young going down into the sea coming up from the sea somehow signifies a unique experience that even moshe rabbenu afterwards will ask for and not be able to receive it's something that was only at that time in that moment and we will get in the future time when the messiah arrives so what is the meaning of this experience why did the jews have the merit for this experience why specifically at this moment in the sea why is it indeed i'd like to share with you another madrish which quotes a part of our madrish and i believe that this message gives us the hint to try to be able to understand what it means that the jewish people have this unique experience once it was then afterwards never again until the future time when we will all have that experience for all time it says hashem speaks to moshe rabbin to moses from on top of the kapoor is from the top of the covering of the ark who i am holland by the direction of you passage says another passage in vayikra beginning of ayakura leviticus which we recently read it says that moshe albano heard god speak from inside of the tent so you might think you'll call me calabasas maybe it's the sound is rather breeding through the throughout the entire tent someone learned malachi buyers that's why this positive says and it's in bahrbar it's partial this music says that god spoke to him from above the kapowris the voice would be heard from on top of the covering of the orna kurdish kula maybe it's emanating from the entire top of the orange the entire papyrus the madame that groove and the voice would come out from between the two crew of him the two angelic figures that were on top of the arm from between them a voice would come out that was the voice of god moshe albania would hear that voice alone i'm not going to um dispute what rebecca said but i'd like to add something to it we find that in regards to god's honor the verse tells us that the entire world all of reality 13.8 billion light years across the entire reality is filled with god's glory it bespeaks god's glory the entire world all of nature awesome design complexity unbelievable things all of it speaks god's god's honor the entire universe is singing to god the birds are singing to god the trees are singing to god we sing to god israel government really god's voice is speaking everywhere you can hear it everywhere but what does the puzzle tell us because of the love that hashem has for the jewish people he he squeezes his voice between the crew of him the crew of which represent the love of god for the jewish people our relationship with him that loving relationship that was they're embracing god is always embracing us and from between from the middle of that embrace god's voice is heard so god could you know you could find god everywhere but the place to hear his voice the most clearly is in the miktash on the aaron of course represents the torah that's where his voice is heard but that relationship that we have between god and us is where god speaks the most the most clearly concentrated lawyer continues and says the verse tells us that when moshe we saw the beginning of this please god show me your honor hashem responded and said no one can see me and live no one can see me and live now hear this carefully because the jewish people did see him as it were in the amps of but when he came so they were able to get a full revelation but moshe was not because hashem says you can't see me and live so we need to understand think think about this that means that at some level they weren't living when they were in the um we'll we'll come back to this let's see what the measure says here the experience of god cannot be you can't experience god and stay alive in a person's lifetime they can't experience god fully but when the person dies the time when they're about to pass on from the world they can remember he says until him in psalms chapter 22 before god shall bow down all those who go down into the dust and whose soul is no longer alive those who are dead have a have a full experience of god says it says and live and shall live he won't be able to see god and live the verb adds on something could have said a person who's alive can't see me what does it say vocai and live so rabbi kiva darshans he understands that the extra vote the extra letter of teaches us something it's adding something what does it add he says something else that's kai something else that's alive the angels are called is a living being these are the living spiritual beings means that these spiritual beings the angels can't see god as we saw they're carrying the throne of god but they can't experience fully god's honor um he says this is one thing as we saw before i'm not going to disagree with what rebbe said with rabbi akiva said could not experience this this is an important point what is the significance of the fact why is the message pointing out that amalah can't hear god's voice can't have that revelation like mal can't know as we saw before in the other matrix you can't know where is god but a person can a human being can have that experience ezekiel we said it then we're going to say it again comes when the messiah arrives so what is it about us that's better than amalgam better than an angel completely spiritual being makita god's voice came out like a like a through a sea lion it's a it's like a very concentrated straight voice coming straight into moshe about his ear even though there were angels all around they couldn't hear only my shirt was able to hear how you show me so they were in the middle i couldn't hear okay in the fleece god will raise up his voice in wonders god spoke only to him [Music] so i like to bring out from the second major something which i think really explains the first magician i think it's very deep and it's important and certainly it's important to take home with us out of the corona experience that we've had over the last year and life in life the message is telling us like this a person can't experience god fully and be alive you can't see the full picture while one is alive you can't see it a person's about to die they can see it why is that what is the major saying i believe that the message is saying that there's a unique experience of a human being that only a human being can have no angel can have the jewish people called your de i am they go down into the sea what is the yum what is the sea the sea is a place where there's no life for human beings at least you can't live under the water not only that a kurdish broker cleared out the water there was no life at all there not even sea creatures were living there the egyptians come into the water what happens into that same space as the jews were the water comes crashing down on them it's not a place for life it's a place that represents complete and utter destruction of ego the jewish people are called the yard i am and the oil hayam they go down into the sea they go down when maisha abano is up on harcina and asks god please show me your honor i want to see you the way we saw you then god says no this is not this is not said anywhere this is my own thought i think in concept it's absolutely true maishaven who's standing on harsini is above everybody else he's high he's so high you can't experience god fully if you are higher than everybody else climbing that mountain and getting to the top you know what happens when you get there you can't help but look down and say wow look what i did that is not it's that's not the place to say iranian from the back as it were you can't see the full picture the jewish people who went down there you're the haiyan they were allowed to be oil to come out of the sea because they were your day and they went down into the sea the jewish people were crushed they were crushed by their difficulties they were crushed by their backbreaking labor they were crushed as slaves they were crushed to nothing to nothing you're there i am egyptians on one side the water on the other side nowhere to go just go into the sea the end the end of you nowhere else to go absolute absolutely crushed absolutely destroyed that's where you have a full revelation of akushboroku zekely is only possible to say when there's a full revelation and the last time we spoke about we spoke about these children that they were on the earth and they were coming to get them the egyptians were trying to throw them toward them into the sea destroyed them killed them they were complete the magister is saying similar idea they were completely decimated completely destroyed that is where there's a full revelation now this sounds very very um what's the word masochistic sounds very like how we're we don't ask for problems right but if you've ever experienced any problems you know you come out the other side a stronger person that's i think the magister is teaching us as much as teaching us they were the your de hayam this is an awesome day the last day of pesach that's what the mata is also the mata is the the crushed there's no leavening there's no hubris there's no anything is crushed the poor man's bread you want that that sense of heroes that true freedom which is spirituality you can't get it on top of a mountain you can bring it down from the mountain to claudia's room perhaps but you can't get that full revelation you can only get it on the bottom of the sea the bottom of the sea is where you find that revelation the angels can't access this they're too high up it's only a human being the jewish people have been cut through gullis we've been trampled we've been crushed holocausts inquisitions [Music] spanish the gerus farad kicked out of this country kicked out of that country crusades crushed crushed crushed what is the result of us being crushed we come through on the bottom of the sea where the i am it's a combination of the exodus the combination of eastern style is we go down into the sea we completely hashem says just walk into the sea just give yourselves up give yourselves up to me don't dive in now no praying when you pray you think it's you no walk into the sea walk into the sea be crushed and there at the bottom of the sea we find out that the opposite is true when i crush myself as it were when i give myself up to god completely it's even it's even greater than what my shabbat was able to accomplish on har cena at the highest heights receiving the entire torah for all time for kalisto for the jewish people for all time greatest prophet ever the jewish people had an experience they saw everything and we also after such a long goalless there's so many challenges so many difficulties we're starting to see the light here in earth's israel over six million jews keep us gullious the beginning of the gathering of the exiles sheikh himself will come hopefully soon bring everyone else back return all the jewish people to the land how does that happen because we're the your day i am we went down to the sea that represents all the challenges the culmination of all the challenges and difficulties we went down we go down and that's where we get the full revelation we are able to hear the voice christ shows us his love in that embrace in that constriction in a very small space this whole the whole world is filled with god's honor and it's you can find god everywhere it's in the kaido kadasham it's in the holy of holies the jewish people have a unique relationship with god we experience god on a deeper level because of our travails because of our challenges the death of the 24 000 students arabia akiva was a prerequisite for that to be five students of rebbi akiva we still don't we can't forget the deaths of rival cuba students because we need to know that the only way to get to the next place to the next level the higher level is through those challenges through the being crushed we fight being crushed because we don't want to be we don't want to feel unpleasant we don't want to feel hurt we fight against god and we say god i don't want this i don't want these problems but the message of the magister is that that being kind of being crushed that kind of being crushed that kind of giving up one's ego my shoulder was an anami kaladami couldn't you know he was the most humble of all men on top of arsenal by himself no people just him god speaking openly like a friend one person speaks to another doesn't give that full revelation there it's only after being crushed going down to the sea and after 2 000 years of ghosts being crushed we get the full revelation at the end of time i want to bless you and ask you to bless me who should help us to take home this message to recognize the significance the depth of what this day is about of what the last day of pesach is about going into the sea because roku should help us to utilize all of our challenges and difficulties to to deepen our relationship with him to lose ourselves and find him thank you so much for listening have a wonderful shamas and a wonderful
