Reeh - Times of Challenge and Expansion

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with ari goldwag recording with hashem's networking assistance in ramaphishmizurah 5780 2020. this week's parties parties for a i'd like to say two things before i begin number one i'd like to invite you to visit my website regularly.com slash new album i am hashem i have a new album that just came out called yeshuli 15 songs powerful songs hashem reminding us of our obligation to boroku so many different ways so many different styles so many different keyboard name directions so so i'd like to put out some videos in order to to spread the message even further and i invite you to help me out join together in the crowdfunding our golden egg dot com slash new album number two i'd like to get dedicate this uh the following torah and the partial podcasts in this refuge and if anyone has a name that they would like to dedicate the partial podcast with let me know and we should have in mind menachem ben sima bracha foreign expand our borders as he said to you a person lives far away let's say from the base of england from the mishkan and they want to eat meat so in the times when clouds throughout the 40 years of the jewish people were inside of the wilderness when they lived in the wilderness so they were only allowed to eat meat if it was part of a corbin if it was part of a sacrifice that was brought on the mishkan then maybe they'd be able to eat meat so the question arrives let's say a person uh they come into arts israel they live far away from the michigan they want to eat meat permits when the jewish people enter their land and indeed the land is expanded for the jewish people so then they're going to be allowed to eat meat now the majestic tells us some very interesting things about this halacha about this concept rabban and amrin there are a number of things that we find that hashem prohibits in one place permits in other places this is an example of it you have other examples you can think about the concept of ibun a person is not allowed to marry his his brother's wife but if they didn't have any children he's allowed to marry her he's obligated to marry her there are other there are other uh instances kill i'm not allowed to have wool and linen in the same garment but for the coin god for the high priest for the kohanim in general they're allowed to indeed in certain circumstances for the special uh clothing that they would wear for the service inside of the basement there is a general principle as long as they lived in the wilderness they were not allowed to bring they're not to eat meat unless it was brought as a sacrifice person eats meat without bringing that uh animal to the entrance of the of the tabernacle so then that person would have spiritual excision says that when you come into artistra when you come to the land of israel it's going to be permitted for you okay so so how do we know that this is true it's speaking about when we comment israel when hashem shall expand your borders okay so that's the measure it's a very interesting concept very interesting idea that there are certain things that hashem prohibited and then hashem made permitted another concept that comes to mind is the idea of issues between a man and his wife so times of the month that they are permitted times a month they're prohibited the thing that which is prohibited becomes permitted same relationship in one context it's not it's it's a problem it's going to cause spiritual excision cars but in a different context not only is it uh not only is it not forbidden but it's a mix what's an obligation okay it's very interesting so i want to understand what is the concept here what is why does hashem make something prohibited why indeed was it prohibited in the wilderness why did it become mutter why did it become permitted when we got into the land of israel how does it what is the concept the idea of expansion what is the expansion when klausov comes into artistrel there's an expansion that occurs what is this expansion and how does it permit us something which is forbidden before now it's permitted what is the idea so the next medrash says it seems to be a different concept however i believe that not only is it not a different concept but it's actually going to help us understand much better what is the idea that hashem prohibits something then permits something very deep very powerful idea in psalms chapter 31 verses 8 and 9. i will rejoice exceedingly aguila is one type of rejoicing another type of rejoicing there is one there is two levels of rejoicing here but with your kindness ashira he says on you you saw my pain yada bitsaray snapshot you knew the oppression that my soul experienced well i just got time to be out oh if you didn't allow me to be given over to the hands of my enemies you stood me up with expansion you you stood my feet up with expansion so we see in this positive the idea of expansion as connected to the fact that the plastic tells us that when we get into israel there's an expansion that occurs it's an expansion we live in khutsarats we live in the wilderness 40 years in the wilderness we've been in gullis for 1900 years almost or more yeah more than 1900 years sorry almost 2 000 years and there's a constriction when we're there but there's an expansion that occurs when hashem releases us from the exile and hashem takes us out of the wilderness we're coming to arts israel rabban and amran the sages say as follows listen to this there's two different opinions as to whom this verse is speaking about the pastor can tell them one opinion is that it's speaking about yosef at sadiq and we need to understand that really the two the second opinion is that it's speaking about claustro we need to know that yosef represents kala israel yes if it's the first one to go down into egypt into into gulas the jewish people are to follow him myself similar that which the that which the less does the soul which includes all the other souls a king was a king that which he experiences is representative of what's going to happen for the entire jewish people because he includes them all within himself so it's important to understand that let's see what the magic says about yosef and we'll see what the measure says about israel and we'll see how it applies to understanding the idea of the forbidden which becomes permitted was expressing the sentiment of yosef says i need to i need to rejoice i need to be so joyous so happy the double lush and this double language because of the kindness that you did for me if you would have just taken me away from the hands of the wife of of potiphar meaning if you would have she she punished me i ended up in jail if you would have just freed me from the jail so i would have been happy i would have been happy just coming getting out free right when he originally as we mentioned i believe last week when yosef originally asks the saramashkin to get him out he just says i want to be free he doesn't say i want to be the king he doesn't it's not his focus he would have been happy just being freed being able to go back to his father's home but an amazing thing happens to yosef not only is jose freed from the state of being in a incarcerated being stuck in jail but he becomes not just a regular citizen he becomes a king heavy aguila so i rejoice there's a double language i rejoice and i sing your praises hashem because of your kindness i sure he says only you saw my difficulty say joseph the verse this is all an explanation of the verse in psalms this is yasuo by inu by kevin raghavar zel bernanke when he was in jail so he experienced terrible terrible difficulties it's not in this magic but it's brought down they don't allow me to be to be handed over to my enemy it's potiphar potiphar or maybe it's his wife is what potiphar's wife would come down to the jail every single day during those 12 years that he was in the jail and she would keep trying to get him to sin with him with her mother i'll call her smith's rhyme but you expanded me you stood me up in expansion so what does it mean it means for yosef attack you place me to be the leader of the entire egypt now think about this also in terms of kala israel israel has been in ghosts oppressed by the nations of the world killed for being jews six million of us millions more in the inquisitions you know by the on by the hands of the christians by the hands of the ishmaelim the arabs two thousand years almost think about it in terms of you know claudio's promise that we're going to ultimately be just as joseph was the king over mizrahim over egypt klaus is going to be the king over the world you see it happening in the fields of technology these are all hints to what's going to be in the future as far as the spiritual leadership that we're going to have but it's important to keep that in mind so yosef is not just freed chloe will not just return to arts destroy get back our land that's not the that's just the beginning that's just the beginning of the year it's joseph was the leader of the land he's the one who gave food to every single person the and then he became a king over the jewish people they all fell down in front of him on their faces they bow down to him it's interesting that measure quotes the entire story with with yosef recognizing them that brothers didn't recognize him but the point is there's a harvard there's an expansion and this is an amazing important point cloudy still experiences a challenge of a two thousand year gullis unbelievable can you imagine can you think about it such terrible terrible times we've had you always see vasana was in jail for 12 years 12 years in his prime from the age of 18 till the age of 30. that's the prime of the human being that's his that's his youth that's his drive that's his that's the time when a person builds who he is he's stuck in jail but what happens what's the result of the of being a sewer of being imprisoned the word asura which means prohibited it also means imprisoned is mati rasurim according to the way the message explains it's not in in this magic is a little farther out on i'm not gonna be able to read it inside but hashem is hashem frees those who are bound hashem creates something which was prohibited becomes permitted what's the idea when there's a suppression when there is a difficulty there's an oppression that a person experiences a yosef attack a claudius throw the individual each and every one of us when we experience a challenge a difficulty it's like a wave and the wave in order to get high first it's got to go low and then come up and that high lasted for the rest of his life for the for another from from the age of 30 to the age of 110. so another 80 years he was the leader what did it come from it came from those 12 years of challenge or 12 years of difficulty it was 12 years of could it be hashem is not with me that feeling hashem is not with me that but interestingly and this is another important point here such an important point yosef was ready to be a gila of esmecha to be rejoicing to sing hashem's praises just to get out meaning he didn't he wasn't expecting expansion he wasn't expecting anything more he didn't want anything more i just want to be i just want to be free i just want to be free but what did he get he got he got to become the king he got to be his dreams were realized it reminds me of uh something that happened in my family my gr my uh great grandparents joseph streisand and his wife rocco they were married for 10 years they didn't have children and they were even told you know that's classic story type classics type of story you know you should divorce his wife right yes if he is like streisand he said how could i divorce my wife i love my wife he refused and shortly thereafter they had my bubby my bubby was born vegas sasha streisand and and that was followed by her sister yehudis and the two of them and the whole family ended up moving in the 30s to arts israel they were saved from world war ii because they moved to arts israel expansion expansion my bubby her sister lived here her family her children and grandchildren still live here my family ended up moving to america my bubby and zadie but there was that 10 years and it was followed by an awesome expansion they my great grandparents followed my bubby and zadie who moved to palestine in the 30s and they were saved because of that awesome expansion they waited they had challenge they had difficulty but that difficulty resulted in an awesome beyond with perhaps what they could have imagined if they would have looked back on it i'm sure they did beyond what they could have imagined they followed their children to arts israel and that's what the magisk is telling us the message is saying look when you when you get when you get when you don't get something when you lose something when you don't have what you want when you don't have i could tell you also another experience that i had where you know i created an album called loan of secular code about two and a half years ago and i invested a tremendous amount of money into it and borrowed money and today i still owe a lot of that money and i felt very sad about it i felt very oppressed i felt very suppressed and there was a kufa that i personally had a big down and big down hashem pulled me out of that gave me helped me work on bittoken help me work on my my focus on trusting him and hashem was able to create a new album with the help of many many people over 200 people supported the crowdfunding and and we were able to create an album and and i bought hashem there's so much interest in the album people are saying it's the you know hashem i i don't take credit for it people are saying that it's perhaps the best album that i've ever done but the idea here is and that's what i want to bring out is that we all have in our lives situations which are challenging difficult and it seems like there's no end to it and and and we might feel like you know i just want i just want to be like a regular person like yosef sadiq and we need to know we we don't always see it we don't always see the end we don't always see i know i'm not making any promises i'm just telling you what it says here chloe still been winning two thousand years for the end of the tunnel and we still haven't we're close but we haven't gotten there yet right but there's the message is telling us that this is how hashem works hashem hashem puts a person into a challenge like a yosef and then there's a harcava afterwards there's an expansion afterwards there's an expansion that we see that hashem did this challenge and then boom there's something massive that comes as a result of the challenge i'd like to read the rest of the matches here again i will rejoice this is speaking about i'll rejoice and i will sing about your kindness speaking about the jewish people this is talking about israel and the goddess of israel i want to i want to rejoice the kindness that you did for us to make them very interesting if you would have just taken us out let us out pay off the you know pay back the debts to the egyptians give them what the you know give them back what they did they did evil to us punish them but you didn't just do that you gave us all their money you gave us an awesome expansion and of course measures doesn't say this but what did they do with the money they took that money and they created a mishkan a tabernacle they used their gold and their silver in order to serve hashem unbelievable we we have an appreciation not only did you take us out not only did did the gullis end not only did we get back eric israel not only did we did we get out of egypt and america and europe and all those places where we were pressed for two thousand years but you made us rich you made us rich all the claims that energies still you can't make money it's not true it's not true at all artsy swell is a place expansion expansion hashem promises us the wealth of the world the wealth of egypt to call israel god when they left it's right in the wealth of the world will belong to israel when when mashiach comes as well that's not perfection or missionary and their measures but i'm telling you that it's so and it's also a similar concept that's brought clearly later on in the magisk i'm not going to be able to get to because of time constraints but let's just see the end of this sure he says they were evil to us egyptians they oppressed us they gave us very difficult back breaking work you knew the oppression of my soul elias i it's a reference to the jewish people oh yeah if you didn't allow me to be to be given over to the hands of my enemies when is it that indeed you have allowed us to have that expansion when was the expansion as a result of all the challenges and difficulties you expanded my borders israel is a place of expansion it's a small country it's expanding it's going to expand soon and i i have to say this because i got to say it but 2018 but if you add the five words the the coil of each of the five words it's another five it brings you to top shin pekimo and i think that we're experiencing a time where very soon we're going to see from tough shenanigans 2018 the tafsian who knows who knows halloween pay gimmo 2023 expansion rights israel not just the expansion oh we just want what we you know we just want whatever trump will give us and whatever netanyahu will give us no so much more we're going to have it all david awesome expansion miracles but anyway that's what i'd like to bring out here and i think that it's a deep lesson has to do with hashem us or something and when we're in the wilderness we're limited we're much more limited we can't eat that bastard taiva we have to we have to if we want to eat meat we gotta connect it to the suburban we gotta walk into the mishkan bring the korba and then we can eat the meat if we haven't if we haven't done that you can't it's too dangerous to eat the bastard taiva but israel is a different expansion you live in our israel you experience constant seating you see hashem is helping you every moment every day we're living on miracles here it's unbelievable when you live with that expanded consciousness you can eat meat it was us or before it was also before but that is that oppression so to speak that challenge that forbidden nature it changed it switches hashem allows it why because now that we experience that forbidden time now we can come into the permitted time and think about this in terms of issues you can think about it in terms of the relationship between a man and his wife now we've gone through that forbidden time there's a renewal this is a new appreciation and now it's permitted because of the expansion that we've experienced through the isr through the time of prohibition it's an amazing idea that oppression that challenge that difficulty that we experience in our lives we need to know that it doesn't just it's not just followed by a time of of okay the problem is over it's followed and i've experienced this in my life many times it's followed by a time of expansion because we had the channel because we had the difficulty the result is that we move to a new stage in our relationship to kodesh and our relationship with ourselves our relationship with those around us i want to bless you and ask you to bless me hashem should help us that we should indeed recognize the ls the purpose of the challenges that we go through trump should help us to have faith we're going to get to the other side we're going to have that be talking we're going to get to the point where the problem is over but not just that we experience awesome expansion because of our difficulties and our challenges that we experienced thank you so much for listening have a
