Vaeschanan - With All Your Soul

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with ari goldwag recorded with hashem's neverending assistance in rama israel 57 80 2020. this week's pressure is partisan and coming out of tish above coming out of perhaps you did as i did reading stories of the holocaust stories of sadness stories where hashem seems to have forsaken us coming back into the present coming back into 2020 coming back into a new world hashem has allowed to come into existence a renaissance of the jewish people entire learning looking at this week's prayers of islam is the expression of our commitment to hashem's oneness our commitment to always exclaiming always reaffirming within ourselves and to the world the fact that there's only one god there's only one hashem and the fact that hashem asks us that we have an obligation to love god with all of our hearts with all of our souls with all of our wherewithal with all of our possessions amazing amazing verses right here in deuteronomy in dvaram chapter 6 verses four and five i'd like to share with you some madrashim beautiful madrashim that explains sukim explaining his verses as only in the midrash hazal the sweetest words of archazal can explain when moses went up onto mount sinai for 40 days and 40 nights so he hears the malacha here's the holy angels that they are saying the praises of god and what are they saying israel he heard them saying these words blessed is the name of god's kingship forever and ever now we say these words of course we say israel even though the verse doesn't say it explicitly we say hero israel hashem our god hashem is one and what is the idea behind this why do we say this verse so the message tells us that moshe rabino heard the malachim saying this verse and he brought it down to the jewish people he wanted to teach them this secret the israel foreign says the measure says why don't we say this verse out loud why do we say it quietly we're going to see there's only one day a year of course that we say it out loud but throughout the year 364 days of the year we say quietly what is this comparable to the echo it's like somebody who stole a precious gem a bracelet from the house of the king from the palace of the king nasty and he went and he gave it to his wife so the ghana he goes he brings it home to his wife and he says to her i want you to wear it i want you to wear this beautiful bracelet but don't wear it out in public no one should know that you have it okay so the same way the jewish people also moshe rabbenu stole so to speak this amazing kishut this amazing bracelet it's full of diamonds it's something only the angels can say it's something from the palace of the king and we also we have to say it quietly we have to protect it we can't say it out loud very interesting we need to understand what this means this is what the measure says says the majoris something that we all know on yom kippur we're so pure we're so clean we're mama's cleaned off hashem forgives us of all of our sins we're standing there we're wearing our kittles we're we're all dressed in white and hashem forgives us our souls are white our our clothing is white we're clean we're like malachi and we're like the angels we say it out loud blessed is the name of the honor of god's kingship forever and ever what is the idea what is the idea that only angels can say this kind of thing how come we can't say it if we have sins why do we have to wait till yom kippur when we're free of sins in order to say a statement like this of blessed is excuse me blessed is the name of the honor of his mouth forever and ever and of course the idea is that when we defy god when we have sins really what we've done is we've said i'm not interested in spirituality i'm not interested in godliness i'm not interested in doing those things that god asks of me i've turned away from hashem i can't say blessed is the name of god's kingship when when amalah says that has no free will we have free will so we can do the opposite of that which god asks but amalek can't do that so amalek has the right to say god is the king blessed is his marquis what does it mean blessed a blessing is something that you see it's not just something that comes and and and nobody knows about it the blessing is something that you see wow there's so many there's so much abundance that i have that i have so many blessings when we say bark shame it means it's clear for everyone to see forever and ever we can only say that on young kipper when indeed our acts do not contradict that which we're saying amal can say it all the time because his acts never contradict that which he's saying blessed is the name of god forever and ever when we say shema israel is beautiful means listen listen up it means we're talking to ourselves in a certain sense listen up shama israel here oh israel here israel is the highest aspect of the jewish people listen up oh jewish people listen up ohio's aspect listen up soul listen listen listen to the song i need to act like hashem our god hashem is one that's that's shema israel i can say that out loud but shame saying that his kingship is apparent i can only say that on your kipper the magish one thing which is not as famous we'll see soon something which is more famous that every single part of your soul when i say when i love hashem when i recognize his oneness and i express my love for him and i do the mysteries i fulfill the commandments etc this is an expression which needs to be manifest it's something that expresses itself with all of your soul what is all of your soul means all the aspects of your soul students see that there are five different aspects of the soul um romero says something which is a little more famous because there's a song from david what does it mean with all of your souls so the word neshama which means soul also it's the same letters as the words nishima which means breath every single breath i take i need to say thank you god i need to praise god thank you god thank you hashem this is hashem giving me life you know one of the ways we come to love how do we love how do we come to love one way is by giving right we love our children because we give so much to them but but the message is telling us you want to know how to love hashem it's with all your soul what does it mean with all of your soul the first one is recognize all the different parts of your soul we'll see what they are the second way is recognize that every breath that you take appreciate it i'm breathing thank god i am breathing in hebrew we say barak hashem thank god i'm breathing thank you hashem for every single breath i know that this is true because the verse says quran is all of the soul is to praise god calling every soul every soul has to praise god every breath every the soul is breathed into us every time we breathe in it's hashem blowing into us our souls giving us life every breath we need to thank hashem and simon fish there are five names there are five parts of the soul what are they ruach we have the ruach we have the spirit we have the nephesh we have the the soul which is in in the blood keeping the body alive the shaman has a higher aspect of the soul it rests the lower aspect of the soul of the shaman rests inside of our brains the higher aspects shoot up to the higher levels these different aspects of soul which are even higher than the neshama they're the parts of the soul that are connected to all of us all christopher joins in one soul in the higher realms and even higher we all join in we're joined in unity with god himself rabban and amri and this agent say listen to this beautiful beautiful majoration beautiful beautiful mattress look at look at the amazing thing when we think about the soul we have to think about what does it mean that our soul is praising god what does it mean we should love hashem with all of our soul love with all your heart we can understand i love hashem with all my heart with my emotions i need to express it whether it's through a song whether it's through recognizing the good things that god has done for me what does it mean to to love hashem with all my soul so it says imagination amazing beautiful beautiful thing god fills all of the physical reality the if we could think of reality all the physical world billions of light years across the entire world all of all of existence and specifically our planet with life and the sun that shines upon the earth and the moon that shines at night the entire world is filled with god's presence god is the soul animated the entire world in the same way each person has a soul that animates their body god carries the world meaning god is is transcending god is beyond the physical world and so to our soul as we mentioned the neshama the lowest part of the neshama is inside of the brain and the higher aspects surround the person go higher beyond to the spiritual realms we're attached all to each other in the spiritual realms so the body also the soul encompasses the body the soul is beyond the physical body god is one in the world doesn't sleep the soul is always there the soul is always awake because god is pure as it were in the world and the soul itself is also pure even when we sin it doesn't really affect our soul it can it can affect the lower parts of our soul but it doesn't affect the higher parts of our soul the souls beyond the body can't be affected the soul is not affected god is not affected by sin right god is unchanging god is beyond is the center of who we are it's when our eyes are communicating information to us through the brain of what we're seeing it's communicating it to the soul our soul sees but it's not seen we can't see the soul we can recognize when it's there we can see when someone is spiritual but he can't we can't see it physically so we see all these parallels between the soul of a human being and god himself as it were who is the soul of the world let the soul come which it's able to it sees but it is not seen the let the soul which sees and is not seen praise god who is also seen who also sees and is not seen it's a beautiful thing so each one of us i think about the the ramifications of what we're saying each one of us has a piece of god within us each one of us has a godly a khelik of the kami we have it's him we have a peace of god inside of us which is transcendent of course but also is within just like god is within all of reality but also encompasses all reality our soul also we also have a soul and that soul is really the essence of who we are is the idea how are we able to praise god how are we able to sing god's praises for every single breath it's through a realization who are we we are godly we have a soul within us which is akin to god which parallels in so many ways the way that god manifests in reality our soul manifests in each and every one of our our bodies and therefore we have the ability to sense our soul to sense our spirituality to sense our connection and thereby be able to to love hashem because as we said before you know why do we love our children because we give to them what happens what's the dynamics of that the more i give to somebody the more i feel connected to that person that person is a piece of me my child is a piece of me and i love that child because a person loves themselves that's just how it is and hashem loves us because we are a piece of him and the message is telling us an amazing thing we can love hashem when we realize that we indeed are a peace of god when we realize that we indeed god and us we're one we're united we're unified we have a piece of that oneness with your soul when you recognize that your soul is akin to hashem it's a peace of god the message continues with this soul that praises you hashem admassa in the offer the measure says that we have a problem we have a challenge we face off with a difficult with a difficult challenge a difficult problem and that is that the way things are today the soul is trampled the soul is the the needs of the soul are not so strong not so significant they're not the needs are not being met in the world as we know it spirituality is trampled the jewish people are trampled we are looked down upon by all the nations of the world our soul in our lives what's more important to us naturally what's more important to us is our physical being is our food our our ability to have a home our parnassus our livelihood all these things are important they're much more important to us naturally than the spirit than our relationship with god in our relationship with ourselves our relationship with our spirituality with our media studies working on our character traits so the soul the jewish people israel the highest aspect of the jewish people complains to god and says how long is it that the soul is trampled god says i promise you i promise you we'll get to the end we'll get to the the end times we'll get to the days of our of and what's going to happen in that time you know what we're waiting for well what do we want for oh so many people are afraid of mashiach there's going to be big wars it'll be scary times we've already gone through two out of the three wars as kind said about the first and second world war you know uh what are we waiting for what's mashiach about is that the them the most amazing thing the mashiach the mashiach is about a time when the soul is not trampled anymore when spirituality is no longer unimportant when spirituality is all there is when spirituality is the main thing i don't have to worry about paranasa i don't have to worry about my livelihood i have to worry about anything or anyone why because i have my spirituality the feet of ishaimanaki my son that's why the verse says in regards to the times of isaiah the prophet says to us 61 10. what's the greatest joy the greatest joy is when we get to that future time we get to this time that hashem we rejoice in hashem we asses bashem my soul will rejoice in god and that's what we're waiting for that's what we're waiting for we're waiting for the times of mashiach we're waiting for the times of the messiah because when we say shamanic it's beautiful we hear it we hear we're listening she might as well hear all israel i got to listen it's hard to see it it's hard to see the soul you gotta listen if you wanna hear the soul it's hard to hear it's hard to see that hashem is one you gotta listen if you wanna hear that hashem is one like with all of your soul it's hard to love hashem with all of your heart and all of your soul because we can't see god we got to put the pieces together that's shema i say a word in another word and then at the end of my sentence you put all the pieces together and you understand what i'm saying but it's piecemeal when you see something it's completely different picture's worth a thousand words but you don't need to say any of those words you see the whole picture all at once but we don't have that today we don't have the recognition we don't have that ability to see that hashem is one we don't have that joy joy comes when you see when you see the truth yes it also comes when you put all the pieces together and at the end you have a picture but still you can't see it [Music] i'm going to rejoice in hashem i will i will exalt i'll have amazing songs the most amazing songs are going to be when we come and and we see the truth when we see aka who is there we can't say barak shame we don't see at this time we have to say it quietly we can't even say it out loud we can't even put those pieces together right now because we don't see as much we don't see god's kingship in the world the jews are downtrodden they're controlled by all the nations of the world we can't if we want to to capture all of the land of israel we're told that it's we've stolen it that it's somebody else's this is the land god gave to us how could it be that someone will tell us it's not ours we don't know we can't we can't prove anything we it's you can't see it you got to put the pieces together and we know what hashem is saying we know what's going on here we put all the pieces together we know that we belong here this is our land this island hashem gave to us but it's not so clear you got to put the pieces together you got to hear it and if you don't want to hear it you don't have to hear it who says you put the pieces together this way this is your narrative and this is your narrative there's a different narrative right what is the narrative it's the way you put the pieces together the way you tell the story you can't see it right there's gonna be an awesome revelation a revelation we will all see so clearly there's only hashem we'll say bro out loud we'll be clean of our sins yom kippur the great day of yom kippur is going to be when mashiach messiah arrives we'll be able to say bro shame out loud we'll no longer say quietly why because everyone will see we'll have that amazing rejoicing so i want to bless you when i ask you to bless me back hashem should help us that we should be to say israel to hear it as long as we're in the darkness and we should be able to love hashem with all of our soul with all of our heart and all of our soul recognizing all the ways that we have a soul inside of ourselves and how it reflects the fact that god is the soul of the world world we should appreciate every single breath that we take every single heartbeat that we have should help us that we should be suffering to that day in the future it should be the near future when we say assist by shame i shall rejoice with god my soul will be exultant with hashem thank you so much for listening have a
