you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with
the shins never-ending assistance in
ramappa she wishes real 5780 2020 this
week's precious precious meanie and in
our parsha we have the eighth day of the
maloom the eighth day of the dedication
of the michigan of the tabernacle this
was the moment the entire Jewish people
was waiting for Hashanah the divine
presence is about to come on to the
Mishkan the tabernacle the Jewish people
are going to enter into an awesome
relationship with Hashem this was the
climax of you'd see a Smith shrine the
entire exodus from Egypt was in order to
reach this very second plus it tells us
why he buy him a mini caramel iron on
the one of the zucchini Corral on the
8th day
Hashem called to Moshe to Aaron and his
sons and to the elders of Israel and the
Torah tells us the entire all the things
that needed to be done all the
components needed to be brought at
cetera now I'd like to share with you a
beautiful piece in the mesh that has to
do with the sickness Rahl has to do with
the elders of the people of Israel
because the elders of the people of
Israel were called here and they're
called in other locations we find that
the elders are essential in the service
or could have broken the service of God
was it nice throw what is the idea the
sickness or who are these elders are the
people who are old are the people who
are smart on the people who are coming
what's the idea
well the sickness Rell doesn't matter
maybe keep initially sir life beautiful
measures the measures tells us the
Jewish people are compared to a bird the
entire Jewish people are like the goof
of the bird now if I send a parabola
canif I'm just like a bird in order to
fly it needs to have wings
Cockeysville and you're harmless a
snubber whose music name so to the
Jewish people can't do anything they
can't survive it can't function properly
without their elders who are the elders
of Israel we're gonna see exactly who
they are soon what is their purpose
their purposes they serve as the wings
of the Jewish people we go into flight
we're able to soar to spiritual Heights
as a result of our elders okay America a
crlf the Gazelle is dialers Akana what
is the idea
signa of of the elders it's it's Sigma
is great in the kingdom he Aviva MAME in
the arm Haim NIT fella Lahani eldest so
the rabbi's Mahalo this is an
interesting thing he says that there are
two possible ways of a person having a
Cigna Cigna could mean the fact that
there are indeed elders they're old but
it can also mean that there's a Chicano
Hoffmans the Gemara tells us they are
those who have acquired wisdom those who
have acquired wisdom are also called the
cane and they're also called elders so
the fact that they have wisdom so the
fact that they're young and they have
wisdom the the youth their youth in fact
they are young and they may not have so
many gray hairs in their beard the fact
that they are young is secondary to the
fact that they have great wisdom okay
the Tony be showing barrio Chi I'm sure
I says lemon welcome a club foolish name
you becoming smarty no not in one place
not in two places have we found
Shakalaka Kurdish poor who cover the zoo
Canaan then a Shem gave honor to the
elders Alaba column economist we're
going to see that those who have this
wisdom those who are called the elders
of the Jewish people whether it's
because they have studied the Torah and
they are the wings of the Jewish people
in that way or whether it's because they
are older even people who are older and
they've had many experiences also coming
to this category according to cinema
portion so we find that Shem gives honor
to them in a number of places bassinet
when a sham was speaking to Moshe
Rabbeinu but to Moses at the snap at the
at the burning bush he said lay horse at
the signal he says him go and gather
together the elders of Israel the elders
of Israel are essential in the gula
process in the process of redemption the
midst remove us a table zucchini Israel
Hashem commanded in Egypt that Moshe
Rabbeinu Moses should go to para to
Pharaoh
so he said him you go along with the
elders of the people of Israel they were
part of the story becae 9 and Mount
Sinai it says Allah Allah Shem Tov our
own venerable yeshiva music named Israel
you are to go up on the mountain
you along with Aaron and his sons and
also the elders of Israel and any brings
firstly brings a different uh Superman
bar as shirley chisholm usually finding
in by mid marina in the farther on in
the book of numbers gather for me
seventy great people but I'll mired was
it nice Colin here an hour absurd me to
speak about all might the tent of
meeting he said to him to gather up the
elders of the people of Israel so you
see how essential are these people they
come along with Moshe Rabbeinu Moshe
Bain was the girdle had or he's the
Messiah of that generation and he is to
bring with him the sickness for all the
elders of the people of Israel that's
how essential they are and at every
stage at every point and in our cooking
especially you see that they are there
they are functioning at the aisle my you
they are functioning just like we spoke
about previously about the everyone
fitting into a small space of the peso
Kaval mo e this is the place of our
connection to Hashem this is the place
of our relationship with Hashem
we need the zoo Canaan they are our
wings we need the elders those who have
a Chicano hokhmah and not only is it
true in those times I losted lava it's
going to be the same in the future time
and when Messiah comes because we're
whole clay like cover the zoo Canaan God
is going to give honor to those who are
wise that would receive the chorale
Ivanovich I found a verse tells us that
there's going to be a time sighs a
chapter 24 verse 23 there's gonna be a
time in the future Messiah comes that
the moon and the Sun will lose their
light they will be embarrassed so to
speak they will lose their light and
what's going to happen who's gonna get
that light even egg is the cane of
covered and in front of the elders his
elders it's referring to those who are
close to Hashem there shall be honor so
it's going to be the same thing that the
elders of the Jewish people are going to
be involved in the end of days which
small bar because obviously the end of
days the times of Messiah it all has to
do with coming back into relationship
with God the Jewish people are in their
correct in their miss sukham there
they're rectified state and therefore
the Jewish people their leaders their
wings
our desert kingdom Irish mob our baby
women very vain machine Canino armor I
said ro Coulomb nicely if she wishes the
kingdom is shall I now the measure tells
us something which is very famous
concept it's important to understand
we're gonna try to understand what the
idea is that in the future time so a
sham is going to take that all of these
elders and he's going to have a yeshiva
he's gonna have a place where they're
all going to sit
although the silkie Maha shams evoke ice
by heart see I'm you shall live Venegas
a cane of covered this verse that we
just brought it says that Hashem is
going to be the King on a mountain of
Zion in Jerusalem and in front of him
Venegas a can of covetous should be
honored for all of those who are
righteous naked the Cana minx Eve Khan
doesn't say in front of the righteous it
says in front of his righteous the neck
is a cane of covered the idea is that
Hashem takes the zucchini takes the
elders those who have stroke they have
they strived all of their life they
strove to have a real relationship with
him to understand his wisdom to
understand what is his will those who
have done that all their entire lives
are focused in order to come close to
him they will be given an opportunity to
shine at a time they will be given honor
here we have a missionary wish my boob
Yeshua Amaro settler spoke with
lationship the garments of the community
LIF Night Live fond of it's very
interesting we have two different
descriptions of what the yeshiva looks
like right it's it they're gonna sit
around the shabak was going to be in the
center God himself as it were he's gonna
be in the middle and all of it said he
can we'll surround him in a circle one
description is that they're going to sit
like a Guerin a garden is a granary and
it seems to me based on what's going on
over here that the granary was a place
which was round that in order to take
the grain and to do the things that
needed to be done the room was around
room or the area was around area or it
involved mill stones which were around
so the Cintiq am I gonna sit like a
granary and cow who Mel at least earlier
shot him in the mouth you do she Meshach
use similar brush makan DeGuerin the
verse tells us in melaka mala from first
Kings chapter 22 verse 10 did the king
Mielke stir all of you shall hear the
two kings
sat in the center and they were
surrounded in the same way so what is
the idea of a sham being in the center
what is idea that that said he can
surround him in a circle so the idea is
that a Shannon system when we put our
shell at the center it means that he is
the focus he's the focus of our lives is
the focus of all that we do of all that
were trying to do all that we're trying
to accomplish that said he came surround
him in a circle a seven eight said he
came seventy righteous ones talked about
the 70s Arcanum an idea of seventy is
always the the iron and the olive the
olive represents the one the iron
represents the seventy they both have a
similar sound and Aleph is a is a open
sound that Orion is a Titan sound
because it's where the olive is the or
with an olive it's the light the or with
an iron is the skin it's how we manifest
in this world so you have the shipping
the kingdom they are as it were the
manifestation of a Kaddish for who in
this world those who are striving all of
their days all of their time all of
their their ma who's their essence is to
understand what is it how is a sham
shining is light into this world how can
I do God's will in this world that's
their focus and they lift us up they are
our wings as we said they're the eye in
there the 70-mile shem is the one in the
center that they are all shooting out in
every direction right when you have a
circle so the circle is the the locus of
all points from a certain point in the
center right how kodesh work who is the
olive in the center he is the one in the
middle and the zucchini amar the ones
who surround him are trying to reflect
his light out into the world God is the
Sun as it were and and the zucchini or
the moon that's why it says the Sun and
the moon will lose their power because
the Sun and the moon will no longer be
those physical bodies and said it will
be a college bar who is the Sun and the
sea Canaan will be the moon shining out
that light into the world
Sheba Cardinal you Ashwin was idea of
the garden where the king of Israel the
king of you who de sitting in a granary
that can't be Alec a harder to nanana
Sanhedrin cot Seeger Nakula Kadesh
heroes as they were in a circle in order
to see each other everyone is
equidistant so that they can see each
other and that's what happens in a
circle
nobody's jealous of anybody else each
one recognizes their place in the circle
each one recognizes each of the second
MCS their special purpose their special
light that they reflect into the world
their unique Gavin is the word in Hebrew
the unique shade the unique crystallized
I'm missing the word precisely but the
the facet that's what we're looking for
the facet they they represent bringing a
hooker who down into the world so I'm
hedging cannot see okay we said them I'm
Ashley my inoculum a tame it soon soon
be knowing how though deceived neither
by Shambala be shifting zucchini or it's
so the exact translation I'm gonna I'm
gonna give you just what the 80s have
says on the on these lines but
Mela King Solomon said that he saw with
Rococo that she was able to see what's
gonna be in the future and he was able
to see neither Bashar Ambala Hashem is
referred to as the ball as the husband
of the Jewish people
he is in the center of the shower Marie
de Bashar inviolable shift insignia arts
he's six he sits amongst the elders of
the land meaning the elders of the
Jewish people he sits in the center and
knowing about Shambala because because
of the second him because of the the
righteous who sit around him as it were
so God's light is reflected out and it
becomes known in public basha Ahriman in
the gate so the speaker means the gates
of the city and the places where God is
to be known God is known through us God
is known to the extent that we strive to
be second him to be kind of hokhmah to
understand God's wisdom to understand
what is God's will in the world to the
extent that we strive for that that's
how we reflect godliness into the world
and there's a cane amar the main ones
there are the wings they raise us up and
I want to read one more last piece here
you know Bradley of a problem it will be
raw Eliza Bashar with honey no Sadako -
woohoo Lee ice-rich toilet sadly
compulsively
Hashem is going to be he's going to lead
a circle dance circle dance in the
future hadou deceived shus who lived
from lathela local exif pay your
attention to the kala to the Hilah it
means to the circle
pain oil and olive oil um assume are
lucky little bit
I'm ranked easy like a mule okay no I
love a hit the verse tells us that God
as it were is going to to be in the
center and the tsadikim are going to
point with their fingers the revelation
of a Shem of course God has no physical
has no physical representation even
maybe he he manifests in the cloud or he
manifests in a way that we can see that
he's there but he's not physically there
but still the clarity of the vision of
the tsadikim of the righteous in the
future time will be so clear that they
will indeed be able to point with their
finger and say this is a sham zette
let me read the puzzle again he's a like
a man like a nail on the head another
place it says a sham Covino like this is
such an that we have yearn for this is
the God forever Alan Fayed is an aspect
of right we find by yo
it's a Delilah model are limits to the
450 years
what is idea of 50 it's a commits a
completion seven times seven you get to
the number 50 right but the idea is that
there's a completion there's a circle
like a circle is a complete unified
thing it's a locus of all points around
a center as we said so there's a
completion of Lyla Lyla um literally
means forever but it also can mean to
the aspect of 50 which is the
transcendent aspect it's the 8th aspect
and so that said you can sit around they
surround Hashem as it were and they
point to the center they say this is the
Shem this is our God forever which we've
been manifesting in the seven lower
realms in the seven the the the seven
always represents the you may avoid the
days of the week the Teva the reality
that we live within but there's a beyond
reality which is the fiftieth aspect or
the eighth aspect which that said he can
pull down right we for but you could say
we've fly a fly up towards we reach up
towards with our wings that's what that
tsadikim do that's what the righteous
accomplished and helped us to do and the
idea is - um is in the center
Shem is in the center of our lives
that's what that's what this passage is
telling us that's what the Pacific is
teaching us what are we to strive for we
are to strive like this is a canaan like
the righteous like
the elders whether we're young whether
we're old whether we've seen it all or
whether we've seen a little strive to
understand more and more Tyrel strive to
understand more and more what is Hashem
swill for me put a share in the center
of our lives to the extent that we do so
so we become wings for those around us
we become the wings of this bird called
Claudius Rho to the extent that we focus
- Emma's in the center to the extent
that we focus so we get to stand at the
entrance of the Mishkan of the
tabernacle on the eighth day right we
spoke about the number eight eighth is
the transcendent we get to two point two
a sham as it were we get to experience
godliness in our lives we get to
experience Hashem and connection to
Hashem in our very lives we get the
point at the Mishkan we get to stand
there at the entrance and we also get to
be there when Messiah comes when the
Messiah arrives and everybody knows
about Hashem everybody knows about
godliness in the world so I want to
bless you and ask you to bless me I
should help us that we should be among
those zucchini we should be among those
who reflect our Shems light the aleph of
his or in our very lives and out to
others around the session should help us
to be amongst those who point to the
center or able to recognize that Hashem
is the center of our lives and reflect
that out to the entire world around us
