you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with
us she was never-ending assistance
57 79 2018 this week's partial partial
viola and the parsha is all of 30 Silk'n
I believe however there are some amazing
deep and fundamental concepts in our
parsha I'd like to share with you and
obviously it's not a coincidence that we
read these purchase during the time of
Rosh Hashanah this is very much has to
do with what's going on now getting
ready for russia shun IAM Kippur that
starts to meet Juba and I'd like to read
to you some soaking so Masha been over
at the end of the Torah Moshe Rabbeinu
is getting ready to pass from this world
and he is giving over the mantle of
leadership to Yahshua this is in chapter
31 verse 14 a verse tells us why you're
my show my show in Karbala you're
McCallum moose God says to Moses your
time has come to pass on from the world
cross you're sure this yotsuba I'm
worried about Savannah what you called
to Joshua I want you to come with him -
oh my don't you stand at the in the
Mishkan
the tent of meeting but Savannah I want
to command him enough emotion you're
surely sets of a might so they come
together and they stand in the oil mode
in a tent of meeting verse 15 Yasha
Shambala but amudha or not God appears
as he always does in those times God
appears it's possible to see and
recognize that God is there because they
were able to see a special cloud that
would come by yama I'm gonna pass Ohio
the moon on the clouds stood at the
entrance of the tent by a massive
emission shy them are we suffer God says
to Moses you are going to pass on you're
gonna sleep your father's become a
myself is enough work in a horror or
it's God gives a warning God
no gotta be honest about the way things
are God gives a warning to the Jewish
people that what's going to happen in
the future is that
the gives a warrant yoshua as the leader
of the Jewish people what's going to
happens the Jewish people are going to
go after the nations of the world
they're going to follow after the Vedas
ara idolatry of the world
Subash Enric hereby Basavanna they will
leave me they fear as we see Shakur
Atiyah tie and they will nullify the de
bris that I have made with them horrid
boy by Yuma who you know get angry at
them in that time reserve team we start
to plan ahead so check is a warning
which makes it very clear what's going
to happen the way the Jewish people is
it's amazing Jewish people we've been
around for 3 3,800 years things
something just don't change you know
we're stiff-necked people we follow
after the ways of the nations that we
find ourselves surrounded by you start
keepin a mayhem by a local it's very
interesting so God says the gun is going
to turn away from the Jewish people for
a time it's gonna seem like God is not
with us higher level they will be
consumed by the nations with Royce
rubbish wit stories the Jewish people
will experience challenges and
difficulties lumber by Yuma home and
amazingly God testifies about the Jewish
people that despite the fact that we
indeed turn away from him despite the
fact that that this is what goes on
nevertheless we say on that day Allah
alky alaka'i Baqir be the Jewish people
will still recognize at all times we
will recognize the fact that the things
that are happening to us the negative
things that are going on in our lives
are because of the fact that God is not
with me so even that's why these evil
things have been following us so it's an
amazing testimony God is giving a
testimony about the Jewish people that
no matter what yes we will turn away but
no matter what we will recognize so the
reason that things are going wrong in
our lives the reason that things are
difficult is because God has forsaken us
but it's because we have forsaken him
when I can't stare upon Abraham who I'll
call a Russia also and I will hide my
face because of all of the evil that
they've done you funnel him a parent
because they turned other gods
verse 19 all the took a my really
important to the to the point that I
want to bring out which is why I'm
reading them all amazing thing I talk
he's sooo like I missed a Shiraz ice now
I want you to write this song ty says I
want you to write this song which is
reference to the song of hi Xena which
is the next week's car shot with Ilan
destiny I'll see my lithium they need to
learn the song you need to learn the
song and the song is all about the
Covenant it's about God's pact with the
Jewish people
that no matter what that even even
though they are going to go off the path
even though they are going to follow
after the gods of the other nations but
they will return God will always have
this comment with them god never will
give up the Jewish people God will never
break is commenting with the Jewish
people two thousand eight hundred years
later we're still here Dave but the but
it's very interesting me to write this
this these so Kim we need to write this
song there's a song here you know I
understand the concept of the song teach
it to the Jewish people put it in their
mouths you need to learn this song a lot
telia share has isolated nice Roe versus
Elsa said what's the point of the song
it's very unusual usually we think of a
song is something perhaps you know like
a song like you should take that it's a
song that gives us hope a song like a
lot of Sickler could you won't stop
dancing I'm a sad jewish unity right
there's lots of different songs but
here's the song god says which is the
song of the Torah and the song is to be
a witness laid to the Jewish people's
the the song itself is a witness and
what is the idea of a song generally
what's the concept of a song with us
what is the idea here in this context of
a song being a witness with the Jewish
people and there's another very
interesting point in looking around at
the before Shamir the rom ban says
something which I don't believe I've
ever seen before but he says like this I
want to read it to you inside but I'm
assurances hashey Russia
igano Fattah Diaz Eno he tells us that
the song were speaking about here is the
song of Hazim the kora Shira
it's referred to as a song why he's
rally I'm ruined
she Ruby Zimmer the Torah and
specifically this this cyka cyka
magazine which we're going to be next
week it's a song that the Jewish people
will sing make a nick de Vaca Shira it's
also written as a song what is idea
that's written as a song explains the
Rabanne
yeah sashimi cost super Hammond have
sick the Makai Missoni emo if you look
in the Tyra and the place where has
xenos written so you see there's a few
words excuse me a few words and then
there's a space a few more words in a
space a few more words in a space just
like we see was a share which is the
song of the to see the Jewish people say
what is the idea of the song and the
space explains the run bond and we need
to understand the idea behind it
Rambam says it the idea here behind the
song in the space is because that's
where they would sing it would be a tune
it would be like this ok house you know
show me about that they are mr. Schwarz
Murphy right those are the words of the
song right so they they would sing that
part whatever the tune was and then they
would have a melody they were just sing
they wouldn't own a melody in between no
no no no no no no no no no no no
whatever it would be it's very
interesting was idea of this tune that
they would have in between the verses
what was the idea there would be just a
melody what's the concept of that trying
to understand that ok so and I also want
to point out here that yet it's very
interesting that the Torah is giving us
a bris it's giving us a covenent and
speaking about the fact that the Jewish
people have a certain awfully they have
a certain character it was certain way
of being and I want to read a few more
sukham because it's just really profound
yeah Vienna Austria Shabbat Eli
voiceover a scholar with much but I will
bring the Jewish people to the land that
I promised to their forefathers a land
flowing with milk and honey
AHA the survivor dashain what's going to
happen the Jewish people are going to
eat they're going to get full and
they're gonna get fat
well fine I'll hear my carrion or vote
them like we said before they're going
to turn to other gods they're gonna
serve them vignette Sunni
and they will provoke me if you hate
ferrets breezy they will they will
nullify my covenant Oh hiya
verse 21 why our key seems Santa icing
rice rabbis with saris many difficult
things are going to befall the Jewish
people saris members retirees but honest
aashira has ice the front of the aid the
song comes back the song returns the
song be will remember the song the song
will remind them he likes he shot me
peas re now there's two parts to what
this song reminds us the song reminds us
about the bris it reminds us about our
covenant it reminds us that we are
stiff-necked people reminds us that we
are people who turn away from God but it
also reminds us heel I say shall have me
peace are that the the tyre will not be
forgotten from our offspring that will
still be here thirty-eight hundred years
later Gaddafi yes yes right God says I
know their nature I share what I saw a
young that they are that they do today
but turn about the animal arts I
finished body before they even get there
before they even get to the Land of
Israel God says I know who they are no
these Jewish people are I know their
nature and I know that there are two
parts of the nature that's the amazing
thing that I want to bring out I think
it's really essential to understand the
two parts the nature of the Jewish
people one is that we are stiff-necked
people and that we run away from God and
the other is that we are stiff-necked
people and we run back to God we don't
forget we never forget this song you
know you when we think about a song like
what is the idea of a song you know a
song can take you back and some takes
you back there was that song that you
had playing in the car on that family
trip and you know you you you hit all
that crazy weather and you had a crazy
time good times crazy times and whenever
you hear that song that song returns you
back to that to that place that time
could be the trip happened 30 years ago
but you hear that song that was playing
in the car at that time this song brings
you back and a the way I was thinking
about it is like this is the song
colleagues I was standing on the copper
Kleist I was standing at the threshold
of getting in 30 strong and
and there's a song playing and it goes
because I see no mi mi da pedra Sushma
okay and that's the song that we sing
when we're in that amazing relationship
with God God takes us left a Tokarev
amid barbarous lazy rule where we're
walking through the desert it was 40
years in God we're underneath the
confessional the wings of God and we're
seeing this song as we go along and then
we come into Israel and we get fat we
think it's all about us and we think
that we're the ones doing it that's what
the Torah says and but that song comes
back and sometimes the song is a happy
song and sometimes a song is a sad song
it's the same song but it reminds us the
Sun reminds us and we never forget this
song cause I'll never forget the songs
the tire the tire is that song and it's
a reminder it's for us too there's two
parts like we said there's two parts
it's a reminder of our nature it's a
recognition of who we are and why God
chose us I once heard Felicia Shiva that
you know where are stiff-necked people
and God chose us because we're
stiff-necked because in order to last
this long to still exist that after so
many thousands of years we need to be
stiff-necked so sometimes a stiff-necked
nature you know it doesn't serve us so
well because you know we rebel against
God we turn away from God but that same
like I said before that same
stiff-necked nature is what what brings
us back to God because we never forget
this song so hashem calls moshe and Shem
cause yahushua and he has them stand in
the at the entrance of the oil might and
he teaches them this song and he has
them teach this song to the jewish
people because it's it's his commitment
the commitment that God makes to us and
it's a commitment that we make to God
and we're gonna keep singing the song
and that commitment between God and us
means that there's always going to be
leaders there's always going to be those
who are going to help us in our
commitment to God there's gonna be
emotional payment this can reassure
there's going to be shootings akane in
the 70 elders it's gonna be throughout
the generations is going to be people
we're going to leave the Jewish people
and guide us and help us lead us back to
the song lead us back to the Torah lead
us back to what we know is true and no
matter how far we are no matter where we
are that's always inside of us so he's
inside of us we spoke about last week
about a mama shoulda kept us alive
called that intimacy on occasion when
she comes
so she returns us to him and it's
possible to access that right now we can
drop the weight for the Messianic age to
hear this song yes we're going to sing a
new song mama she asked when the Messiah
arrives but we're still singing this old
song this old song which reminds us of
who we are and and this is also really
the concept of the shofar you know we
find that when it comes to the
description of Gomorrah gives a
description of the Schieffer the
Gomorrah tells us that on Rosh Hashanah
we say Mathias the furnace of Shaffers
we say we speak about God as a king yes
got to remember to remember the obvious
the good deeds of the forefathers i mean
ii yeah i know yeah and how does it get
up there the gomorrah says the way that
it gets up there is through the sugar
the shepherd transports our prayers and
bring some uplift Nicki's air coming in
front of the divine throne in front of
God's divine throne the sound of the
shofar is a song son of the chauffeur is
a it's an amazing powerful song the
power of the chauffeur is that it
transports us to that place to the key
side come in front of God or tresses
transports to us to a place which is
beyond time it's timeless a song is
timeless
some of the Tyra is timeless when we
sing a song the tire
we hear our Zeno a sham I'm over here
the worst of the tire we hear them that
the depth there's a reason that the
Jewish people are still here is because
we've kept on listening to the soul of
the Taira because we keep returning to
that song is singing that song and it's
only possible for us to remain because
we connect ourselves to something which
is timeless but something which is
eternal and that is eternal life God
says us I place before you this is
lasting Sparta
life and death we have a choice every
day that we choose to veer away from the
song to choose to hear away from the
Covenant of God or do we choose to
remember the song do we choose to sing
this song and the tower is inviting us
here the Taira sham invites the leaders
of the Jewish people in order to really
invite all of us to sing this song to
write down the song to teach it to the
Jewish people to remember it it should
always remain in their mouths so I want
to bless you I ask you to bless me a
trim should help us and you should be
able to remember the song to hear the
song and sometimes I didn't before I get
to the blessing I didn't answer the
question
the Rabanne talks about the fact that
sometimes there's so this the song has
two words sometimes it's just a
it's just a tune sometimes we can't hear
it sometimes we're so clogged or the
shown as our souls are so clogged up
it's so hard for us to be able to listen
so what God has to say we can't even
read the words you can't even listen to
what the Torah says well we can hear the
tune there's a space between the words
because sometimes when we hear the words
of the song we can't hear the words of
the song we're not ready to other words
in the song but there's a space in
between the words and that space is that
it's where the tune plays where the song
plays and although we're not ready to
hear the words of the song sometimes the
tune itself moves us and opens our
hearts so again I want to bless you I
ask you to bless me um should help us we
should hear this song should listen to
this song whether it's because we can
hear the words of the song whether it's
we're only able to hear the melody of
the song um to help us to be able to
hear that song to be committed
- remember the commitment which our
souls made at Mount Sinai as you're
entering four years later as you're
entering into the land of Israel
Jim should help us to remember that
remember that commitment remember that
song should give us a sebum Cosima Tamar
Cosima Tova thank you so much for
listening
wonderful Shabbos
