Vayelech-Yom Kippur - Torah to Light the Darkness

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold where I recorded in 5780 2019 this week's parsha is partially Ayla and like to share with you a thought from the cava time and I'd like to share with you a connection between our parish or the concept of its time and Yom Kippur which is coming up just in a few days he brings the pasta we add the kids to look how mr. schirra has a cenar parsha terra tells us there's an obligation to write a say for Tyra the Torah is called a song which we spoken about in previous years and there's an obligation to write that song down to write down the song of the Tyra so in the high male Torah he brings as follows a CI Mitzvah hahaaa raineesha by Tara says this is the last of the commandments of the Torah Luke Davis had Tyra which is the obligation to actually write down a safer Torah okay the Rambam her examines of this truths and my sisters we separate our Aloha love dorama brings it down boo ba had CVR Mitzvah Hallows oh ah hurry up Oh sook shavon a key hast your Astra Pranava who a caller also very interesting the obligation to write a safer Torah so this is juxtaposed with another possible with another verse which talks about the fact that Hashem says that during the times ah her sayaman and the times which immediately precede the rebuilding of the base I'm English the advent of mushiya of the times of the Messiah so it says that there's gonna be darkness in the world 'she was going to hide his face from the Jewish people okay and right after it says that the Torah tells us that Oki silicon so she Rose ice that there's an obligation to write a safer Torah now the question is what is the connection between these two concepts what is the connection between a darkness that we will experience before the Messianic age and the obligation to write a safer Torah so the cross sign tells us an amazing thing well I'm Damon this is to teach us Tara has ice the power of the Torah is HP Koko a hug in a hot sauna cults are going the person a person who writes the safer Torah obviously who's going to be dedicated who's gonna be seeing that kind of money or that kind of time takes a year to write a Sutra Torah costs many tens of thousands of dollars to have a separate or written who's going to be investing that money it's somebody who's dedicated to the Torah dedicated to the importance of the tire who understands how significant are the words of the Taira such a person will write a savory Torah that person who recognizes the significance of the Torah recognizes how important the safer Tyra's recognizes how important the words every letter of the safer tire is that Torah has the power to protect a person from dangerous times from dark times Avila base has to upon him keep the reign of Z interestingly the Colosseum was living a hundred years ago he wrote this this book was written or the speeches were said this is from consummate IRA which was very much more andaman so this was said during World War one during the times of great darkness and difficulty distress for the world at large but specifically for the Jewish communities even during World War one tens of thousands of Jews were killed okay and so he says like this I feel about seven pastor punim okay but therein as they even at a time of great darkness Hashem is not seen in the world come welcome or at tire may fits or nevertheless the power of the tire is that it spreads lights awesome amount of light bar a nice of an even a light in the light of the Taira we can continue to travel and go Mucca Mucca mush la gomera beside to have olive holocaust of like the Gemara says an analogy on the verse insight oh I'm starting the verse in the martensite that Mar brings a positive key near mitzvah tire are that the Mitzvah is like a candle the tire is a light MA or making the oil I'm after making a law just like the light protects the world alright if a person can see so then they're not gonna fall they're not gonna trip they'll be able to see the stumbling blocks that are in front of them so to the tyro can protect the world can protect a person will be easily based survey yoga and keziah tommysaw names to attack a specifically at a time like this at a time of danger for the Jewish people she Macoutes to shackle there've that outside we see that there's swords Hodari inside the rooms person is fearful lane Allah hak sigma maha terribly I sir there's an obligation upon us to strengthen ourselves in our time learning haraysa Keshava a lot of Shabaab a a Kiva has to punch in kimono and to light up the darkness that comes as a result of the fact that Hashem is hiding his face as it were so this was true 100 years ago the times of the World War 1 and the hobbits kind famously predicted as we'll see soon in the commentary from rimmel grantman he famously predicted during World War 1 that there will be another even more terrible war 25 years later it was actually after his passing and there's a messiah the Jewish people have a messiah that there are three wars in the time before Messiah the three GUG GUG GUG wars great wars that will affect the entire world the first two wars we've already experienced the third one is yet to come so it's it's supremely important to understand that what protects us what helps us in times of darkness we today are living in times of darkness people are afraid throughout the jewish world whether it's sooner it's you Sorella whether it's you know we have the threat in our sister all from the iranians whether it's in america there's a you know there's a tremendous anti-semitism going on and that's the threat but what is the response to this kind of threat what its response to danger how this time tells us the response is explicit in Torah when I hide my selfish I'm says kiss Houlihan cetera zeiss write down the story protect yourselves how do you protect yourselves by reattaching yourself to me i'm a source of all light you can spread away the darkness with a light of the tire of the Taira is the will of Hashem before I get into some interesting stories some interesting things that the harvest time shared the Randleman brings down as thinking about in connection with your Kippur something very interesting you know Yom Kippur we know it's the Day of Atonement you know it's a time where Hakodesh Miroku gives us a special special opportunity to come into chuva to admit this things that we've done wrong to express our remorse and to commit to changing to commit to being different those are the three steps of chuhwa admission regret kabbalah acid accepting self not to do it again in the future and so it's an opportunity on pepper but where what was the first simple words the first time that we found a timekeeper was a day of atonement so we know that I could achieve all who gave the Taira to the Jewish people they received the Taira above seve on the sixth day of c1 Moshe Rabbeinu was on her Sina for 40 days and 40 nights he came down without service at Deborah's he broke those and Sarah said they brace 40 days later on she was with Thomas and he went back up for another 80 days and our house I'll tell us that the 80 days when he came back down with the Lucas ashna's when he came back down with the second set of tablets and with the forgiveness or Chloe's fell for that ver that they had done with the Golden Calf it was on Yom Kippur that was when it was that that was when the forgiveness and the atonement occurred so it's an amazing thing because Rahul forgives us but but it's an what's more amazing and interesting is that with the forgiveness that we get alongside that forgiveness the tire comes down with that forgiveness the new book the new I'm sorry the new tablets la serie de Brice which contained the Taira the foundation of the tire the ten commandments that was given on Yom Kippur so Yom Kippur is a day of atonement it's an escape from darkness its escape from sin it's an escape from all the dark things that we've done all the ways that we've turned away from Akhilesh broken and what do we get how do we turn back to a Kodesh bahu that's what's hinted to in this day it's the day that moisture Avenal receives a Tyrel brought that down the second time it's it's an amazing thing it's the day that Hashem says I forgive you has he say I forgive you by giving us the tyre and saying here's what my relationship with you looks like here is the way to turn away the darkness of sin here's the way to turn away the darkness of having stepped away from me having given into idolatry having given into Tyva giving into different the desires that we have all of the the the the various that we've done the sins that we've committed the way the ways that we turn away from a sham how do we come back come back by committing ourselves to the Taira we want to have a good year we know that we're being we're being written and inscribed during this time what's gonna happen throughout our year coming up it's all comes that it all comes down to these two days Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur Yom Kippur is the final guimard in the final stamping down of our stamping that stamp the Siva and the cosima which we want to be the taifa how do we get it to be the time how do we step out of darkness how do we step out of the one crowd rags I didn't want to rip up the evil decree how do we accomplish that it's by rededicating ourselves to the Taira it's bright committing ourselves to Tyra it's by kiss sulla Hema so she resides where's the Milo what is the advantage of writing down the Tyra we know that the king of the Jewish people he had to have a tire a special small Tyra written and he had to have it next to his heart and yet to read from it all the time what's the idea of a written tire that we read from because when we read the tire when the tire is written and we read it it's as an amazing impression you can't compare something which you have heard about to something which you have seen when you see the halacha inside when you see what this says in I mentioned above and you see what it says in the Tyra you can't compare it has an impact on our hearts right the what is the most difficult thing what's the most difficult thing in our bodies Hashem in our service of God the most difficult thing is getting that intellect which the thing that we know to be true in our minds they get it down to our hearts and to actually believe it on an emotional level to know to be true there are many different tricks that meet that many different ways of doing it many different ways of being able to inculcate into ourselves to incorporate into ourselves they actually do what we know to be true but one of the ways that we do that is by reading a tyro by seeing it in black and white and when we see it in black and my black fire on white fire as a cause I'll refer to the Taira the way that it's written when we see it in that way so then it has an effect on our hearts that's when we really are truly committed to it when I write down that tire for myself and and interestingly when I kiss uluka musashi Rajas I becomes a song in my life when I'm always singing a song it's one of the ideas that I've spoken about in past years the power of a song is that it's something that I can Pete for myself then that that it goes in it pass it passes by you know there's resistance in my heart there's resistance to doing what's right but a song has the ability and writing it down and reading it also has the ability to communicate to get past the blocks for me to recognize that this is it this is what's right this is what I really want to do this is really Hashem will and that's what takes away the darkness the darkness of sin the darkness of of having forbid Wars and destruction and anti-semitism and all the things that we're afraid of all the things that can come to pass and that we know there are difficult times there's always that labor before the birth before the messianic age but this is the key the key to overcoming that is the Taira the dedication that we have to the Taira and that's something that we have and then we need to rededicate ourselves to during a certain maneuver that's part of what truly is right rededication to the Taira recognizing what we've done wrong and committing to doing things right in the future ok so that's the idea now I'd like to read to you from what he says here on the bottom a Yamaha little Tara says her Shmuel granny man when he was somebody who heard these things from the harvest time himself okay so we're talking about firsthand ADA's testimony from reb shmuel granny says volume a little Tara Hama Homs mom material interesting it's very important this is just an ideas you know we speak about what can we do during a starts to meet you what can we think about what can we recommit to so here's a few ideas the harvest time we talk about the fact that people should not waste their time in involving themselves with with things that are inconsequential excuse me honey I'm a fireman Martin's album another static test my base he would explain there's a cos Allah says shop in Dhamma Bannock oyster shell fish monster fish mo Benzema the nice of rubbish mom I'm sorry the the nephew of rubbish mo what else we've got a final question Kagura nation wanted to call it a Rikuo he was a tremendous scholar he had studied the entire Tara mouse a macaque my Savannah's am I allowed to study Greek wisdom I want to study philosophy Korolev mi casa la mouche for attorney Pico Apogee civilian for Lila he set in the following Posse the verse says that the tire is not allowed to separate from your mouth you can't stop speaking in the Vitara you have to be involved with it day and night attire is something which requires constant constant has smother constancy say would I crush an eliminator Lamanna Lila with my behalf - you know when you can study Greek wisdom said to be smelt his nephew for any time which is not day and not night that's when you can study Greek wisdom day and night a person needs to be studying the Taira the person is dedicated I know how do we get it our commitment to how do we get across to our heart it's by constantly reviewing the ideas constantly saying to ourselves what's important the tire is important what are the things that Hashem wants her mean this is what a sham wants for me let me study those words again well a Marshall as an analogy initially made us kuvira is a luminous bachelor the last icebox man let's say person's heart a person a craft Ruben was the master craftsman he taught Shimon how to do this craft okay now she Munoz had to do it on his own aha cough automata is a cleaver basic shellfish long day now Shimon who had studied the craft in the house of moving so he was in the house of Ruben he took some of the materials from his house and he created one of those objects that shared that Ruben had taught him how to make weekly avoid the show the woman he used Shimon a student used all of Reuven's clay avoid all of his utensils without kitchen star mishali he said the Ruben I want you to pay me ha just like goes you know anybody else Isis I clear the base thing abut clear who will be Cleveland who say as if he had done it in his own house and with no sewing materials and with his own utensils no no no huh Uman so the master craftsman responded have you do look all you should know clear ownership a messy system a lot for Chile aim what are you trying to say the things that you use the materials that use everything was mine even your know-how is mine Chile Haim it's all mine McCain abides should lay a virus even the house that you were working in Chile you it's mine or a hush mal the electricity yes Aaron inertia is Rubin laughter everything that helped you in your work Shelly Haim it's all mine the exact events coming up and now you you want me to pay you when I see my laughter McCaleb evasive a lot so I said as if you're somebody who had done the work excuse me in your own home with your own cam with your own utensils and vessels keno I named it Lehman hock my song it's the same ideas as the harvest time when it comes to being involved in studying other outside concepts hi I'm Ally leshiy Lehane hashem says the day and night are mine I'm Rocco - Burcu a Cailin plum repair Hashem says the the vessels as well the things that you use the mouth by my sickle your eyes your mind Shellie aim it's all mine ana-lucia / - my own circle you don't have a right to use them for your purposes give me a call you know Don Austen Locke because everything is from you wash em and everything was given to you to us from your hand seaweed a accession alumina alumina Lila the Webber Kaufman sivanna's go find a time or a place which is neither day nor night that's what you can study these outside influences these outside wisdoms mackanin avi Rockland Malathi his every signal a ceviche mash em Allah he also warned us he exhorted us Zika transmission of diva glamour remember that the Torah of Moses my servant in a nice leisurely little Miss Ellie oh no Vee and at the end of times Hashem is going to send a large of the Prophet pan over the cases arts harem right at a time when it's gonna be great destruction 'el world here is shall Manning the shame arrive hood and it's explained the hype an avocado la al it's going on that which it says earlier Tim going awesome leave this quarter s moisture in the camera if we don't pay attention to the Torah of Hashem to the tire of moisture that that has been taught to us we're not careful to fulfill it us yet enough a sham of orit's Yahoo - oh so then it could be great destruction so what is the thing that prevents the destruction what is the thing that that protects us from great destruction especially in times before Messiah that's what he says he says that it's the toy itself is our dedication to the it's the writing of the tower like we saw and it's our commitment to Tyra that's what protects us okay that's what brings a light into our lives again he brings down I'm not going to read it all inside but he says out the times that we're living in you know you this was talking about small random and wrote this as a world war two already it seems but it was it was difficult times Kali SAW had gone through and they were going through and it's it's true as well even today close fellows still we still haven't gotten to that messianic age were still you know almost there at the threshold but the way to get over the threshold how much time is telling us is through the Taira the way to get atonement also on Yom Kippur is through our commitment to Tyra the alkane and then brings us a very important last point which I'd like to share with you it's a micaiah for us it's something which obligates us he says whoever might tell me the commission with the rain those who are wise those who are connected to Tyra tell me they're coming in our generation Konoha be each person in his city sure hey Matt siphon where the look out people the people who know about tire the people who are learning interns people who are teaching Tyra read the look-outs the has arrested I'm on the high seas ma'am its obligation to exhort the people to warn them she called you fatty than a few minutes re some of Russia's might Tyra each person should be careful to fulfil attire not to do the things that are forbidden by the Tyra we're gonna be MLS army doctor Shem watch out for that what you Tyra says don't turn away from the tire company base I shall yell cover their hot area to make sure that we give our children proper you know give them a proper the the things that they need the tools that they need to be able to fulfill the Tyra myths polish em she has the current app I mean Island and we need to pray me dive in Hashem that you should take away the anger from the world his anger from the world Candace sieve back shoots headaches the posix isn't safe Anya chapter 2 verse 3 back should say that moxuan ova seek out righteousness seek out humility we like this true beyond current of Hashem perhaps you will able to hide yourself you'll be able to protect yourselves on the day of a Shems anger shame I tell us ran a little should be Jewish lame on the phone of Hashem who is good should help us to be able to repent miss Kelly she was Hashem foolishly my main to be able to merit to have the salvation of a Shem and the complete fool of a complete redemption so I want to bless you and ask you to bless me a son should help us that we should take us to heart we should recognize that it's the tire that protects us it's the tire that only through the Taira only through our commitment and dedication to Tyra so she happens to realize that that's the way that's the path to true atonement to democracy whatever so having the we want good things for a year we want good things for our families we want good thinks our ancestral we want good things for Jewish people wherever they are the way to get that is by connecting again rededicating ourselves committing to occur - woohoo - is Tyra to our Lima not Sara turn writing down the tire and not just physically writing the type of writing and inscribing in our arts - reviewing the title reviewing that which is so important so important to us so important to
