Succos - Trading Temporal for Eternal

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Harry goldwag recorded with the show's networking assistants in our map is reality 783 2022 this week we don't have a Parsha we will be reading about sukis the holiday we presently find ourselves within I'd like to show you a thought related to Suka specifically related to the concept of taking the arbim the Lula of the S rig daravis hadassim what is the concept behind it so there's a message tells us the verse says it shall take on the first day the first day of circus we have an obligation with Arisa from the Torah and in fact all seven days is an obligation on arabias on the Temple mount middle rabbona and arcie just said that there's an obligation throughout all of sukis says the message like this an amazing magic some very beautiful ideas opened up the topic speaking his followers in Proverbs chapter 8 verse 10. take my muscle take my spiritual guidance and Veer away from money what does this plastic teach us what is this what is the concept contained in this verse King Solomon the wisest of all men it is better to take the Musser the teachings of the Torah the harsh teachings of the Torah the spiritual guidance of the Torah and not money if you're away from money plastic says in Isaiah similar idea chapter 55 verse 2. why will you take money instead of taking bread no matter says the magic why do you take money in front of asaph which we have to note this means what does it mean to take money in front of asav instead of the bread without bread do you know why you have to give money according to my fortune and perhaps we can explain it based on the Hampshire for the magician another way unfortunately explained it means that why are you paying taxes I like to give so much homage to Ace of to Esau to the West it's because you didn't satisfy yourself enough from the bread of the Torah yeah in Isaiah you are working so hard without feeling satisfaction foreign they're getting satisfaction we work for them in a certain sense right we're providing them with what they want or with what they need working hard maybe we're also making some money along the way but we're not satisfied the Jew is Never Satisfied unless the Jew connects himself tries to have a severe satisfaction from the wine of Torah foreign you shall drink the wine that I have poured what is it that gives satisfaction to the Jew it's not working hard and making money no I'm sorry to say yes it's true Jews are good at that but that's not what gives us satisfaction gives us satisfaction it's working hard toiling in Torah enjoying being satisfied from the wine of Torah that's what we need to be seeking if if we are not doing that if we are not properly satisfying ourselves from the bread of Toyota from the wine of Torah so then we're going to end up paying a lot of taxes we're going to end up making a lot of money right enough to pay a lot of taxes but we're not going to be satisfied we're not going to be happy yes we're gonna see what this has to do with the concept of of the new love with the asteroid how does this connect to our holiday of sukis foreign it speaks about the fact that if somebody is pressuring somebody else somebody pressuring somebody else to give them money even agabites.com right in the times of the times of the measures also in further time so there was a certain Levy attacks that was levied upon the members of a community that they give a certain amount to the gaboid stalker that would be distributed amongst the poor person was in charge of collecting this charity so they would have to pressure each individual in the community so that pressure doesn't have such a good result okay because when you're pressuring somebody to give tax money or to give to give a tax that's leading on the community so the result is not a positive one for the one who's doing the pressure who's applying the pressure machine but there's an exception to this rule somebody who is a someone who is a cipher a teacher of Torah learning right what is the money that they take right there is an obligation to pay those who teach your children Torah right but what is that money and what is that obligation it's not the same as someone who is leaving a tax rather it's considered Scarborough they're not being paid for something that they're doing they're not being paid you can't pay somebody for the Mitzvah of teaching your child Torah right it's called scarbatolo they could have been doing something else at that time they could have been working in another vein but they chose to teach their child Torah they chose to be the rabbi of the community let's say so such a person David see what's called scarbatola which is remuneration as if they were doing something else they could have been doing something else but the magic switch seems to go off on a tangent but it's actually the point says that when it comes to the reward for tire the payment for Torah the payment for your rebbe the the one who's teaching a child Torah the payment for somebody who is the rabbi of the community the payment for Torah is unlimited it's not something that you can quantify it's something that's there's no there's nobody can understand the incredible power uh the incredible reward that says that comes as a result of someone who studies the Torah okay so we first thing we saw first point was that give it give up your money for Tyra right don't don't trade in something Eternal for something ephemeral which just passes second point can't imagine the scar the reward that awaits somebody who's learning Tyra who's teaching her Tony Mirage a few more points in this message is a beautiful Majors some ideas you might know some ideas you might not know we find there's a general concept as we just went through Russia keeper we had a dinner there was a judgment upon us it was going to be with our year Shawn has decided how much pronouns a person is going to have how much lovely a person is going to make foreign but it does not include this hashman the calculation for how much money person is going to to have for his needs does not include what he spends on Shabbos which depends on the holidays and the money that's given to the children to pay their to pay their teachers even like says the message an amazing thing if you spend extra money on Shabbos you don't lose that money they give you more money they add on to the amount it always is going to end up that you have more money you can spend as much as you want in Shabbos and on paying I'm paying tuition yes paying tuition that money will come back and practice personally but if you pay less if you spend less you get you get less okay so there's a promise here the promise is whatever it's it's when you connect to Taro when you connect to something spiritual it says the magic when you connect to something spiritual the rules are different there's a spiritual rule you'll get that money back you don't have to worry about it Tyra you can get that money back spending on shopping you get that money back you don't have to worry amazing thing and if you spend less you get back less so there's a spiritual principle here it's connected to give up your money for these things that's the magician's saying don't fall into the Trap of Asaf don't fall into the Trap of the West which says hey you only get what you get no it doesn't those rules don't apply we're talking about something spiritual another message tells us an amazing example of this concept foreign was walking along he was on a on a stroll or maybe it was more than a stroll was it was a trip sorry he went from tavaria which is a I don't know the distance between the two places but he was on a trip was there with him he was supporting him I guess was a little bit older at the time he needed somebody to help him along they passed by a particular field foreign scholar it was a great Sage one of the greatest of his time Thomas of Rev I took the vishlakesh so he turns and said you know you see this field that we're passing by this field was my Fields I sold it because I wanted to learn it doesn't seem it's not so clear exactly what it means but I would say as per the what the measure seems to be saying he gave up his field he sold his field so that he could spend his time learning he didn't want to be involved in his Partners in his livelihood he they passed by a particular Vineyard a mardain-based carmenesis so this was also my Vineyard and I sold it so that I could learn Torah I gave it up so they passed by an olive Orchard or then this is he said this abortion was also mine I gave it away so I could Merit to learn Torah sure sure his student who was with him he started to cry um you didn't leave anything for your old age what's gonna be when you get old what are you gonna do where's your pension you don't have that field if you have on the field someone could work the fields and get tempted you could have money in your old age what's gonna be said to him what do you think do you think that what I did is not valuable do you think that what I did was an easy thing was a light thing wasn't a significant thing I sold something which is part of the Physical Realm which was created in six days and I acquired something which was given in 40 days to tell you for 40 days and 40 nights in order to receive it's much greater 40 days is how long it took for that to be given over into this world is the Physical Realm the world's only created you know it's created in six days it was much more limited it doesn't have that awesome power shine image was there with God as it were for 40 days and 40 nights receive I sat I dwelled upon the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights is teaching us an amazing thing an incredible thing which I think on the most simplest level parallels what we do on circus right leave your leave the Physical Realm leave your permanent home same with us all right sit down in your Suka sit down in a place which seems to be awry which seems to be impermanent right we're sitting in the sukkah how long do we have these walls up seven days we take them down go back inside right but it seems to be that this is impermanent but no this is the TV Hashem this is God's will that we sit in that sucker when we attach ourselves to something spiritual something which was given in 40 days the amount of time it took for God to give it over to Moshe teaches us that even though it seems that it's awry seems that it's impermanent but no this is the real Keva this is the thing that really lasts forever it's the spiritual things so the things that are seem insignificant To The World At Large that seem insignificant to ASA what do you mean you got to take care of yourself you gotta how your children going to survive how are they going to make it in the world are they going to have the wherewithal are they going to have Paradise are they going to have livelihood the ethnan teaches us the message teaches us no give that up let me teach you you can't make money and also have Tyro you can't have eternal life and also try to have physical life you got to make sure that your focus is unidirectional your focus is in one place and that is on the timer give up everything give up your fields give up your Vineyards give up your Olive Orchards so you can have Taira foreign when America passed away have a dirty Curry Olaf so his generation called upon him he said a hospital about him from 18 is just call heinbase person will give up all of the treasures of his home with the love had for the Torah because of this great love that he had he gave up all of his treasures all of his wealth so then he will acquire blasium is a militia of Visa Visa means the that which is plundered right in a war so if you win a war so you get the spoils that's the that which is plundered it's called bezo someone who has the proper love for tires willing to give up in this world in the end he wins the war he takes in the spoils the truth spoils which are incredible reward the spiritual reward that's waiting which interestingly the excessive says is a wealth that the Jewish people will Attain after the war of Google the final war before mashiach comes before the Messiah arrives so it's an incredible wealth it's given over to the Jewish people which is represented by the wealth of Yusuf the wealthy collected throughout the entire world that's something that the Jewish people get in the end it's also something that each individual receives was able to receive why because he was somebody whose Focus was Terry was willing to give up everything in this world to get the ultimate plunder so to speak the ultimate reward which is the reward of the world to come and now the message brings it back to the beginning of the magician right we said You shall take on the first day the Lula of the asterisk I would mean him the four species says like this when this ties in the concept of it seems like we're giving something away since that we're giving up money when we're learning Terror it seems like you have to give up this world we have to walk out of our deer's cabin in order to be shove the dear Sarai to live in the impermanent the seemingly impermanent World which is the true permanent world we find there's a reward for taking there was a taking that the Jewish people did in Egypt when they left Egypt foreign plastic says in Egypt the Jewish people were commanded to take a hyssop branch a bundle they took that branch and that bundle and they dipped it in the blood and they put the blood in the doorposts right in that Merit they were redeemed from Egypt because they followed the command of God the karma of estimated now how much do you think it cost this hyssop bundle didn't cost that much but aramine or money whatever small amount of money what was their reward they got The Spoils of the sea right when the Egyptians were killed at yamsuf the Sea of reeds so all of their wealth came up on the side Jewish people received all about business we came into Israel they got all the wealth of these great Kings 31 Kings of the of the Earth's Canaan of the Canaan land which became erz Israel out of Israel so they did a small thing they did a small thing which gave them the Merit to be able to be taken out of Egypt and in turn be able to get an incredible amount of wealth an incredible reward of course the physical reward in this case his representative of the spiritual reward how much does it cost okay it's a little expensive today perhaps a little cheaper if you use the knights investing uh but what does it cost what's the investment what's the investment costs a little bit and what an incredible reward awaits the person who fulfills this mitzvah Allah has come with a comma certainly the the lulav has more components than the the greatest Asia that they they took to themselves in Egypt his separation they used to place the blood is exhorts the Jewish people and he says to us it shall take on the first day right it's interesting language why is the possible you shall take for yourselves you shall take say uh right the Mitzi is really to pick it up and to shake it with him you should you should shake the little Vanessa yeah they say I'm you should pick it up why is he looked them says imagine it says because you are taking something incredible it looks like you're giving something away it looks like you're spending money and you're losing the money person gives up money in order to be able to learn it looks like they're giving up they don't have the the same level of Partners of livelihood as others who are invested in their businesses the majors don't make that mistake when you when you invest it's an investment when you give up your money to do a mitzvah when you give up your money in order to learn Tyra when you give up the pleasures of this world in order to do something which doesn't seem as significant perhaps the eyes of the people around us in the eyes of the cultures around us you're taking something for yourself it's a small investment now that produces incredible income later it produces incredible spiritual rewards for later I'd like to read you one more message at the very end here of this section we're speaking about the fact that you get the business right we get the ultimate reward the reward of Gogo Moga we get all of the all of the physical blessings in this world as well come to us just as the Jewish people experienced when they when they left Egypt they get the business as we mentioned they got the money at the sea they got the money when they came into Israel they got the money from destroying the Nations we also will get that we also receive have no fear if you invest in something spiritual in the end you also get the Physical Realm Nebraska and he hones in on the word which means the first she'll take for yourselves on the first day in a merit of taking the Lula Vanessa on the first day what's the first Hashem says I want you to know I'm going to reveal myself to you first to the Jewish people we will experience God's presence first Hashem is going to exact his judgment upon the first one who is the first one the Ace of arasha Hashem is going to exact his judgment upon Ace of the West the world of ace of Texas says he came out first and he was the Bahar he came out first so in the Merit of taking the little of an esri Hashem is going to punish the one who came out first and he will build for us the most important thing the first the first building which is the holy Temple the Civic he said covered Mission coming to shanu Jeremiah the prophet refers to the base of as the first place the place of our sanctuary and God will bring to us the first the great human being which is the king mashiach the Messiah refers them as the first of Zion the first of seeing in here he is into Jerusalem I will bring someone who gives those good tidings it's an amazing thing small mitzvah small Mitzvah great opportunity the mitsu of Lula Vanessa is an incredible opportunity the mits of circus remind us what is important how can we get to that ultimate reward that we're all waiting for that moment in time that we're all waiting for how do we get there we get there through these mitzvahs through these Commandments through fulfilling the word of God through learning the Torah through focusing on spirituality by giving up that which we have in this world and focusing completely on our spiritual lives our relationship with Hashem the instructions that he gives us in the Torah this is the path to reach the ultimate reward which is Risha interesting right it's reason why is it the first is because this is we talk about the fact that God brings about in the end that what she originally thought right the whole process of all of human history it's all about getting us to this point in time the Messiah and that involves a destruction of the western culture it involves a destruction of the forces of the world of all that Ace of whatever's believe is important why do you have to I have to make money in the lands of Ace so that's not it that's not what it's about where's our Focus it's our focus on Tyra teaches us if your focus is on the first thing which is the Torah if your focus is on the first thing which is the mitzvous if that is your focus then you will Merit to see that which Hashem first thought of which is an incredible rewards that await Us in those times I want to bless you ask you to bless me ashram to indeed fulfill these Mitzvahs with joy to be able to give up that which seems so glamorous and so important to the world around us we should be able to give that up for what's really important for Torah for a relationship with Hashem for the Mitzvahs thanks so much for listening have an amazing Shabbos and a wonderful circus this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you for more podcasts like this
