you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Goldberg recorded with
a gems never-ending assistance in
ramappa jamish Israel 5777 2016 this
week's purchase part is Viera the Torah
tells us about the miraculous revelation
the miraculous birth of Yitzhak Aveeno
of Isaac his mother Sarah Amano was 90
years old she returned to the state of
youth was able to give birth was able to
even nurse her child she became young
again as we spoke about previously
Avram Aveeno Abraham was a hundred years
old he had also lost the ability or it
seemed had lost the ability to have
children and yet these two old
individuals have become young again and
were able to conceive and have his
beautiful child named his who his
name the very name itself denotes the
laughter the joy the amazing experience
of a miracle of these people being able
to have this child I want to read you a
few verses a few Persil Kim and I'd like
to share with you of humid Russian that
are really beautiful and amazing when we
see the depth of what they're trying to
say this is in chapter 21 verse 5 Avram
Bhima a shinobi well live like it's you
every night Abraham was a hundred years
old when his son Isaac was born 4:6 what
timer Sara Sara sets like a cellular
King Kamea eats Hockley God made a great
joke whoever will hear about this will
laugh with me verse seven a timer and
she said me me Laila rahama hey Nika
Varnum Sora who could have believed that
Abraham would have a child and that
Sarah would be nursing that child Kia
Lada TV unless Konev I gave birth to a
child in his elder years verse 8 he got
yella Diego mal the child grew up and by
you go mal which literally means he was
weaned but we're gonna see very
interesting exactly at which point this
is going to occur by Yas I've Ramesh
Megiddo Abraham made a great party I
mean a great celebration beyond ego
MELAS his clock on the day that Isaac
was weaned now the central thing that I
want to speak about is this party is
this weaning of Isaac or exactly at
which point this party was made there's
three different opinions but before I
share that mattress that speaks about it
I want to share with you with different
managers two different madras room
speak about the first part of the verses
that we read so the measure says on the
verse on chapter 21 verse 6 but timer
starts Hyksos allelic in that Sara said
that God made an amazing joke and
whoever's gonna hear about it is going
to laugh
Revathy ever be who they were persimmon
became Aishwarya suck her breath hear
the Sun review who the senator Simmons
said in the name of each member of us
clock Ruth Amos simcha my quest lay if
one person is joyous calling him root
vain so what is Shimon care about that
usually people don't partake in the joy
of other people kah Soren if Godot so
this is what happened in order that
other people should partake in the joy
of Sarah you may know the fact that she
was able to conceive so Sarah when she
was able to conceive a karen- lehem
what's gonna cause them to care who else
is gonna care about that elevation if
kita you may know Sarah at the time when
the matriarch Sarah was able to conceive
Harbor occurred significant to Emma many
other women who were also unable to
conceive previously were then
miraculously able to conceive as well hi
herb a harsh in his PACU many people who
were deaf became able to hear our base
zooming nifty who many people who were
blind became able to see Harvey Shaitan
is taboo many people who are insane
became sane so this way by the fact that
so many miracles were happening at the
same time so many people were
participating in the amazing miraculous
change that was going on first Sarah it
also occurred for other people so that
many other people would join in in the
joy that Sarah new main was experiencing
and then the message tells us that this
is not the only instance of this kind of
experience this is something that
happened in the far future many years
after sorry I'm a no-name are conocía
and there's a word here that we see is
in both places in both verses in this in
this regard and in regards to come over
here
the verse says it's like a cellular Kim
God made a great laughing matter so uses
the word hacia uses word AUSA
to make never ila holland vahana hala
medina salsa in regards to Esther and
Malcolm when she became the queen so the
King wanted to spread around the joy was
so joyous
very happy that he had this new queen
named Esther so he made a Hinata Lee
made an exemption from taxes and it was
to celebrate so that all the people
would be joyous and celebrate along with
a hodgepodge for finding his new queen
masya Shinar la jolla nathan the royal
um so just like in regards to the future
time we see that something joyous was
happening something good was happening
on behalf of the Jewish people from the
fact that Esther was appointed the Queen
a great salvation was going to come from
that the Jews would be saved in the
story of Purim and what was happening at
the same time there was something which
was good a good feeling was coming over
all of the people at that time a
physician Eric on Delilah Elam so to
overhear when used the word AUSA which
means to make there's a making that's
not just I mean half of one person which
is the Jewish people really at its
essence but the good thing that's
occurring to the Jewish people is
causing good things to happen all over
the world with all of the people of the
world the measure she finishes off with
an amazing statement verbal aviom our
Rebbe lady says hosi Elmira's at the
time of this amazing miracle when Yates
leg was born so the Auris the the
heavenly bodies the Sun in the moon
their light shone brighter
nomura conocía acai the words the verse
here uses the word ICO which means to
make whenever the Holland I a Saluki
machinima iris elsewhere the verse
refers the fact that God made the two
great luminaries which is the Sun in the
moon so it's saying that over here and
over there there's a connection and a
connection I believe you saying is that
the Sun and the moon themselves shone
brighter as a result of this miracle
that was going on so as we read this
message we need to understand what is
the depth of what the measure she's
teaching us what is the idea that just
because Sarah you may know so she's
going to have Joe we need everyone to
have joy and all the other people who
couldn't conceive all the other people
who had any kind of problems and
physical issues all that was solved in
order that they be involved and partake
of the joy of sorry you may know what is
the depth of that idea what is it
teaching us and what is it how is it
connected what is the connection to the
story of Esther and the fact that the
Jewish people are about to experience
the salvation why does it mean that
everyone in the world has to experience
some kind of good feeling and and
to pay taxes and what is the connection
between that and the fact that the Sun
and the moon are shining brighter what
is the idea behind that I'd like to read
to you the next piece of the magic which
goes on the fact that the verse refers
to Sara being manic that she was nursing
but it doesn't say that she nursed her
son and said she nurse many sons he Nika
bunim Sara it's very interesting what's
the idea so Rashi actually gives us a
short quote of the measures I'm gonna
actually read Rashi where she tells us
my bun in Russian Robin why does it say
it in a plural language being hamesha
on the day of this party hey viewers
Sara's benami maíam the princess is
brought their children with them the hey
Nika I some and she went and she
actually was nursing all of the children
of the siren of the princesses show how
you are Miss Lilly Aldous our people
said perhaps it wasn't Sarah that
actually gave birth the superhuman I
should perhaps they brought this child
from somewhere else but in order to
prove as it were that it was indeed sir
who gave birth so she wouldn't be able
to nurse if she didn't have children so
so from the fact that she was able to
nurse it was clear to everyone that she
was the one who had given birth now it's
very interesting that the ACO she points
out in explaining the measures which
rush she's basically quoting the 80s if
says that why did they bring all their
children to Sarah II may know to to be
able to nurse them the implication of
the magic is that all of these
princesses who had previously been able
to nurse Hashem in a miracle that they
were unable to nurse in order that they
should have to bring their children to
Sarah who is the only one at the time
who was able to nurse if they wanted to
have their children nurse they would
have no choice but to go to Surya man
who's the only one who was able to
provide milk at that time and the
question is what is the depth of this
measure as well what is the teaching why
is it why was it that or what does it
represent that all the sorrows all of
the princesses were unable to nurse and
why do they have to DAF go specifically
bring their children to Surya may know
why did she have to have so much milk as
the measure she describes that she was
able to nurse all these children whereas
the depth of the man Josh was adaptive
the idea that's being relayed by this
measure so I want to also
just add on one more point from the
message itself which Rashi doesn't bring
which also needs understanding the end
of the measure says that whoever brought
their childish angel mime whoever
brought their child for the right
reasons to be nursed by Sarah you may
know Nazi racial mind that child and
that becoming someone who feared heaven
who was a good person was a god-fearing
person was a spiritual person however
anybody who didn't bring the child for
the right reasons
so that child did end up getting MEMS
Allah by la maza they did get power
remember these are princesses their
children ended up with power in this
world they became rulers and leaders
those children as a result of being
nursed by Sarah Amano
however the magic furnace is off by
saying that those children who were not
brought the shame shaman were not
brought for the right reasons for the
right spiritual reasons in the future
time and the Jewish people would receive
the Torah and all of the nations
rejected the Torah when God went around
to all the nations so they lost their
power they lost their rulership meaning
it was given to them that power which
they received from sorry a mane was
given to them for a short period of time
but it was lost when the Jews would
return to the Land of Israel and of
course we need to understand what is the
idea that whoever was nursing for the
right reasons so then they became
spiritually great but even those who
didn't nursed the right reasons they
received power what is the idea what is
the measures teaching us about the
nursing capability of sorry Manu what
was so special about that milk that she
was nursing with which brings us to the
final measures which I want to share
with you today which has to do with the
amazing party the amazing joyous party
that Avram Aveeno made beyond he go
MELAS here talk on the day that Isaac
was weaned what is this a reference to
which day was this a reference to so
really high Shia rava Omar Bashir Abba
says Nick mal Maiasaura
what was he weaned from the first
understanding the measure is that we're
talking about the day of his bar mitzvah
talking about the day when he turned 13
when the yeats are told our sages say
the good inclination of a human being
comes in at the age of 13 the day when
he was weaned of only being
self-centered only self focused which is
idea the otoharada
evil inclination that's how a child is
until the age of 13 when a person hits
so the yetzer Tov comes in person starts
to notice other people he starts to
notice what is my purpose in life how
can I be of service to others that comes
in at the age of 13
that's the Yom he go melis you took the
day when he was weaned off of being a
purely self-centered and the Instituto
came in that was the celebratory day
that I'm Avena the Abraham made a party
that's one understanding robbing an
armory nigma Miha lovely the sages say
that it means the simple shot means the
simple understanding was the day that he
was no longer going to be nursing from
his mother it was a day that he grew up
he was no longer a child he was three
years old already he already had moved
on from being that stage of being a baby
and it's very important to point out
that there were being a Baha'i mentions
in explaining what was the cause she was
the significance of his time he says
that according to the Magisters a
minister says that Avram of you know
Abraham when was it at what age did he
come to an understanding or recognition
of his creator was at the age of three
so when Yeats cook reached the age of
three Abraham made an amazing party to
celebrate the fact that now it was the
time that he was going to enter into a
new relationship with God he was going
to come to a certain recognition of God
at that age so that's the age the the
time of three years old represents the
time when he's coming into a new
relationship with Hashem there's also
another opinion which is not wrong in
the measure which is that the young he's
gonna lose his luck literally means the
day of weaning but you can take the word
he gum el the first two letters are hay
and gimel the gum a tree of them is
eight together they equal eight and the
second half the word is mal which means
the Mila the the circumcision that this
party was celebrating the circumcision
of Yitzhak Aveeno at the at the age of
eight days old so those are the three
understandings of three possibilities of
at which point this party was made now
the message continues and talks about
the party I asked Avram Mishnah God all
maybe I made an amazing party a big
party what is this big party maybe you
who devour a persimmon on my Roberta
Simmons says get daily oil um him how
ashram what was big what was great about
the party was that the great
of the world meaning God himself he
placed his divine presence there at that
party you came to that party and you had
an amazing spiritual experience
I shot himself was there the great one
it was a mission that gödel it was a
great party was a spiritual party work
the great one God himself as it were was
at the party Reb Union Barmes part-timer
Reb udin bomber sparta says a different
understanding and he brings a verse also
in regards to the the party of Esther by
Yas I'm a pishtaco low the verse tells
us that when a Jewish married Esther he
made a big party what was the big party
what was big about it he Daily Item
Hashem the great ones all of the great
people at that time those who had
influenced those who had power they all
came to this party and so how is that
connected to us it's the same thing by
us and there's a reference to the
connection again very interesting
there's a connection between the birth
of Yitzhak and what happened in a time
of Esther the salvation that occurred in
the time of Esther
although decieve measure says that's
what the verse is referring to when it
says kyokushin loss to Sola holotype
Hashem will come back and he will
rejoice over you in a positive way this
is a reference as the measure to be made
more to have asked her to the future
time after the Torah was written when
Hashem is going to reveal himself and
show that he's rejoicing with the Jewish
people in the story of Esther because
your sauce olive is echo in the same way
the verse says as God rejoice over your
forefathers you may be talking the times
of Abraham and Isaac so we see there's
two parts here one part is that there's
a connection between the times of
Abraham and Sarah and Isaac and the
times of Esther Homolka the salvation i
cure occurred to the Jewish people
they're very interesting we need to
understand that connection the second
part of it is that the great ones of
that generation the most influential
people were their mentor she continues
and talks about who was there who are
those great people I remember who the
Ripper Simeon you who the Ripper Simon
Says mission accom ich to get deulim
it's a reference to the fact that it was
a party which the great ones of that
generation the great people of that
generation came I called you darling ma
how you Sean
there was a person named oak who would
reappear will reappear in our Tyra we're
going to read about him in the times of
moshav animos
is that he's going to destroy Omaha bush
and the king of Bashan but oak our sages
tell us our house I'll say was alive and
around in the times of Noah he had
grabbed onto the TAVR he survived by
holding on to knocks boat but he was
also there in the times of Abraham very
interesting person he lived a
tremendously long life and he was there
throughout all these times eventually
he'd be destroyed and killed and all of
his people and his kingship taken away
from him by the Jewish people many
hundreds of years later so he and all of
the other leaders of his generation had
come to be at this party that Abraham
made now there was a conversation that
went on there very interesting listen
I'm gonna look like they said to habla
you so I'm not from period I'll carve a
gnome Island
okay I've been saying negative things
about Abraham he'd been spreading
negative statements about him for
whatever reason after Abraham had had
his son Yeshua which had been 14 years
before this time so OB was saying look
Abraham still married to hug are but
they haven't had any more children
Abraham obviously can't have children
anymore he's unable to conceive so he
came to this party and people were
saying ha look at you you look what you
said you said that he wasn't gonna be
able to have children but here he has
had children I'm real ahem so responded
and said action maintenant c'est ma
he'll I should Foofa he said what's the
value of this gift
meaning the child that he's given birth
to is very weak in yah I know it's boy
lar Nepal eh he said that if I wanted to
I could take my finger and squishin I'm
like I could Ashburn clue
God responded to organ said madam
advised I'm at no say you're
embarrassing him about the gift that
he's received this child Calle Acharya
LF I love him very be reverse you'd see
me been a bone of I swear I promise by
your life that you're going to see
hundreds and thousands and tens of
thousands of his children the main
cipher shall I say Ashley Penelope other
the end of you is going to be that
you're gonna fall in the hands of years
clucks children this one that you say
you could squish his great great
grandchildren are gonna destroy you
Shanaya as the verse says I am I am I
shall tear I say God said to Moses don't
be afraid of him in reference to oak
keep you on a satya giving him in over
to your hand I'm not gonna go in and
read the rest of the measures for
running out of time but I'll say it
quickly outside and the meditation
continues and says that who else was
there besides four oak the 31 kings that
were going to come in the times of
Yahshua Yahshua was going to come to
Eretz Israel with the Jewish people and
they're going to destroy all of those 31
kings so they were actually at this
party as well alongside oak and the
question we need to understand I mean
you know the Posche upshot question is
what they lived four hundred years they
lived another four hundred and fifty
years until the Jewish people came and
destroyed them hard to understand but
what is the depth of what the measure is
teaching us by telling us that they were
there at that very party of Avram Aveeno
I think that if we step back and look in
a broad way and what these majorem are
telling us we can see that there is a
very deep concept which is being brought
across by these madryn and that idea is
very clear in a statement of our hazael
that all of the women all of the
princesses were unable to nurse their
children and they had to bring their
children to be nursed by Sarah you may
know what is the depth of that teaching
I believe the depth of that teaching is
that when there's a time where as Shem
is showing an open miracle an open
salvation a new stage in in the birth of
Clara so Hashem shows he takes away
power from all of the nations of the
world in order to show that the Jewish
people are the ones who are the source
of the power that all the power comes
through them and from them it funnels
into all of the other nations of the
world as we've spoken about previously
now that's gonna be true on two
different levels the measure she's
teaching us it's gonna be true for those
who come to get that power who realize
that the power the source of the power
is really the Jewish people at Sarah MA
know for those who recognize the unique
ax the the sustenance which is
represented by her nursing that that
sustenance comes from the Jewish people
those who recognize it and are
interested in it Nazi racial mine they
become people who fear having they
become people who are connected
spiritually when they recognize that
this is the source those who come
because they have no choice they still
get power
the power does come from the Jewish
people even the power which is a
fleeting power which is the power over
this world which isn't the spiritual
power but it still comes it's so filters
through the Jewish people and it's
received by them it's power that they
only have for a short time it's only a
few hundred years that they have that
power the Jewish people are going to
return to Lena base artists are all lion
of Israel they're going to take back
that power but the message is teaching
us that there's an acknowledgment here
on the on the part of the nations of the
world that the power really comes the
the spiritual power and even the
physical power really comes from the
Jewish people and that's not just
something that occurred back at the time
of Avram Aveeno but the measure she
tells it's something that's going to
occur in the future as well in a time of
Esther Homolka when the Jewish people
again it's going to be clear that the
power that comes into the world which is
represented by the maluca by the
kingship that power really comes in
through the Jewish people as Sarah
Malcolm represents the Jewish people and
there's a return of the Jewish people at
that time to the Land of Israel
representing the fact that the spiritual
power comes in to the world through the
Jewish people as well the measure she
uses the concept of the fact that
miracles happen amazing things amazing
changes happen people are cured of their
blindness or their deafness of their
insanity that happens how why because of
a surname a new because a miracle is
happening to her that miracle really
just means that Hashem is openly showing
that the source the reason the place
where the miracles come into the world
is through the Jewish people and there's
a recognition of that that's the Yitzhak
it's not enough for Sarah amino and
Avram Aveeno for them to have Julia for
them to rejoice in the amazing
spirituality that they're experiencing
the miracle that's occurred occurring to
them
no it's something that has to be
recognized by everybody throughout the
entire world that's the measure she's
teaching us and that manifests in a
spiritual way and manifests in a
physical way in a miraculous physical
way and it also manifests as we've seen
a time of Esther on Malka it manifests
as people don't have to pay taxes they
feel happy they get to keep what's
theirs now we get to this party and the
party could be happening if
different places and it could be it
happen there all three but the the party
happens either at on the day of
yetsko Covino when he was amount when he
was circumcised because that's an
amazing spiritual concept it's an
amazing spiritual connection fulfilling
the will of God at that moment
recognizing the fact that all of our
clothes all of our abilities even the
ability to have children our sexual
abilities also to be dedicated to God
that's an amazing spiritual moment or it
could be at the age of three when he's
coming into a relationship a recognition
of godliness or kabhi age at the age of
13 when his date sort of comes in and
the focus turns out words in any event
there's a party a Mishnah guggle a great
party a great recognition that God is
here and indeed God was there but
there's a recognition not just on the
part of our lovino but it's on a part of
all of the leaders the magic uses the
concept of the leaders of the nations to
represent that they are all coming to
join that and recognize that it's Hashem
that the true source of their power
really is from the power of Avram Aveeno
or the power of spirituality the power
of any of these three points in time
that are significant in the life of
Yaakov II know but even as they come o
comes and he says you know this is not
really the power even as he's admitting
he's coming to this parties he's still
fighting it the the nations of the world
the the powers of the nations the
leaders of the nations they still fight
saying that the power is not really from
spirituality it's not really doesn't
really belong to the Jewish people they
are not really the conduit through which
it's brought into the world there's
still a fight but just like there's a
period of time this is how I thought
about it there's a period of time from
the age of zero
yes luck is born till the age of 13 when
his yetzer Tov comes in this 13 years
when they eat Sahara is there where that
evil inclination is there he's selfish
self-centered doesn't have that that
outlook yet there's from the age of zero
to the age of three we has not yet come
to a recognition of godliness in the
world there's a time when things are
dark where the powers of evil have power
this 450 years where oak and
these 31 kings they have power but there
are points in time where it's revealed
that they don't really have power
there's a point in time when avril
lavigne who has this a miraculous son
Yitzhak this shows the amazing power of
spirituality of godliness of the Jewish
people it's gonna happen again it's
gonna happen in the time when the Jewish
people returned to the Land of Israel
destroyed the 31 Kings destroy Oak they
lose their power it happens again in the
time of Esther when it's shown that the
Jewish people are the ones who are the
source of the power who God sends that
power through and it happens again in
the future time when the Messiah arrives
the Messiah comes and it's shown clearly
that the Jewish people all along have
been the conduit through which
spirituality comes into the world now
how does this apply to us and I believe
that this applies profoundly to us
because the truth is that there are many
times in our lives if we look carefully
we can see that there are points in time
where as Shem has shown himself to be in
our lives and there are other times
where it seems like the forces of evil
are in charge it seems like if I do
something good it doesn't necessarily
have a positive effect but a sham wants
us to look at those points he wants us
to see look we had an amazing miracle
occur to us we thought things were going
to be a certain way something bad was
gonna happen and it turned around and
good things happened or even within the
negative experiences we saw that Shem
was there with us so we can see that
just like on you know a very broad level
looking at the history of mankind
looking at the points in time when the
Jewish people were shown to be that the
spiritual is is coming through them and
that there is spirituality in the world
and ultimately God is owners in charge
just like there are points in time where
that was clear and evident as we spoke
about in this measure it's also true on
a personal level that a scheme' shows us
those things each and every one of us in
our lives
and along comes the inside of us and
says no this is not significant no this
child is not amazing
no this miracle is not a real miracle
and a sham responds and we need to
respond to ourselves and say that that's
not true you will ultimately be
destroyed you the eighth Sahara uog Mela
Habashi will ultimately be destroyed but
great-great-grandchildren of the
goodness and our lasses spirituality
that we draw into our lives we don't
realize if you don't see it right away
but it builds and it builds and it
builds and just like the Jewish people
sorry with one child one miraculous
child named Yitzhak Isaac and eventually
they come into our sister all one and a
half million people strong so too we
have to recognize and and believe the
power of the spirituality in our lives
the little things that we do the the
connections that we make to a Shem even
though they don't look so powerful they
build and they build and they build and
eventually they have the power to
overcome all of the difficulties and
challenges that we face in our lives so
I want to bless you and please bless me
back a Shem should help us to indeed
notice those points able to see that you
have to recognize that in the history of
the Jewish people and in our own
personal histories it should help us to
be able to recognize it and to use it in
ours in our lives as ammunition so to
speak again states are against our evil
inclination thank you so much for
