you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with
the shims never-ending assistance in
Ramat patronage is around 57 at2020 this
week's Porsche is purchased vehicle we
begin a new savor the tera and in our
parsha in the last the last section of
the Metro dish we're gonna see it's on a
pasta can chapter 5 verse 1 it sounds
like this vanechka sakata super-marv
talking about what to do if a person
sins or car buttons to bring what
sacrifices to bring in order to atone
for himself my name is Casey Fatah when
a person will sin as follows what was
the sin that this person has done the
Shama coil Allah who aid IRA or Yoda a
person knows something he knows
information he can help somebody he can
be a witness in a court case
he knows that rue vane lent him and
money Shimon is saying I don't owe him
money but he knows that it was done okay
aim low Yahud if a person knows
information he could be a witness and he
doesn't say the information doesn't tell
it over in front of the court vanassa
Avenue says the path of such a person
will carry his sin so to such a thing is
a terrible thing you know information
you could help somebody and you don't
help somebody so this is a problem and I
want to share with you a few thoughts
one is from the mesh but the first
thought I want to share which is the
push-up shot in the plastic the simple
understanding of the verse the the
Robina bhai tells us like this that
there's an idea as follows Tina can save
you talk on the fire I'm sorry he talked
enough aarush
he says another explanation beyond what
he said previously but who aid the
passage says he is a witness he was a
witness to something he saw something
that happened what is the idea Kabira
Kosovo she mckylie she do so ioud is
they're based in Lorimar me a day a bit
over and curvy shadows there he could
think himself you know who's gonna know
if I say I know information and I'm
embarrassed to say maybe I don't want to
how about this person whatever the
reason whatever the excuse you'll see
who knows nobody knows
about it number who aid the who ate
the words woohoo aids has there been a
bahai an amazing thing a beautiful thing
woohoo whenever it says and he who's the
posh up shots simple understanding the
verses that he saw the person saw it but
remain awake I learns that it means it's
Hashem himself
shmulik or who aid God is called a
witness she came at scene in Russian who
Sushma schlocko - Miroku we find it the
word who and then in a number of
different places is a reference to a
sham who Masha Kosovan ehm who shimmy I
wash em my name is who save who a son of
Allah after he made us and we belong to
him
Sivir hookah costinesti macapa so it
refers a sham in numerous places as he
he is the one a shell is the one Hashem
who his name is who who means he ok
brings a few different examples of this
who age Monisha local dish pork away
hade who aid also can mean the word who
is Hashem's name and aid is a reference
- M God is a witness God sees everything
God sees all key what's the idea key who
bite him leave us with closed Vianney
Shahnaz ice there's an idea that hashem
sees what's inside of every single
person's heart and so every person needs
to know we all need to know you need to
have fear of heaven right that's the
idea of us hm
we need to know that we can't escape
from our thoughts and our f and Shem
knows what's going on right so a person
who knows inside of his heart that he
has information about somebody else he
doesn't say it Hashem who aid the person
himself could be awareness but the verse
is also saying current there being a
Baha'i that Hashem is the winner Sasha
knows what's going on inside of one's
hearts you talking a dilemma
ok that I'm not gonna read the next part
this is the point that one of the points
that I want to say what I want to point
out we have it we know something we know
information is an opportunity for who
aid there's opportunity if we can do
somebody else of
favor we have an opportunity to to be
like Hashem who aid those two words as
remain amok I said refer to the person
himself who knows information and needs
to help out somebody with that
information and it's also referring to a
Shem himself who a - Shannon himself is
somebody who knows everything and so
when we can do somebody else a favor in
this way we have the ability to be like
a good worker we know something that's
not revealed we in in in so doing and
helping our friend and helping us
somebody else with that information we
become we resonate with a crow whoo whoo
whoo a just like he's a witness we have
an obligation to be a witness okay now
that's the push-up shot and the puck I
like to share with you what the measure
says because the measure says something
amazing which you know we don't
necessarily always know stuff about our
friend that we could say in the core we
can help somebody out maybe there are
different ways that can apply but the
measures tells us that there's a way
that this applies to every single one of
us the measure says that there's a
different type of a dose a different
type of testimony that every single one
of us has an obligation to say that we
all have an obligation to relate what is
this testimony this is the last piece in
the magician this week's parsha
beautiful amazing piece okay Omar okay
so then the message I'm sorry the
message brings two silky I mean you
shine I want to redo the sukham that the
measures brings puss look it's in your
shia cast isaiah chapter eight verses 19
and 20 so can your testing half BM o
alaikum
if the the nations of the world
will say to you dear Shu Elias value
donated with him it's after him that
imagine go you want to find out things
you know you can use magic you can look
at the stars the constellations you can
see all the different of I desires all
of the sources for information all the
sources of power all the sources of
parnassia of livelihood Hawaii I'm
another hogweed Rush became an amazing
so in those times so they would
and they would find out information they
do seances they would find out
information from those who are already
dead they would do all kinds of things
to find out the future and also do all
kinds of things in order for good luck
charms or all the different things in
order to find out what's going to be or
to bring upon themselves good things
into the world
that's how almost Ireland behaved the
nations of the world at that time
Latoya Villa - Oda but Hashem says and
Isaiah the prophet echoes for us that to
whom do we turn when we hear that
there's an avoid desire when we hear
that there's a different source for good
things in the world
to whom do we turn we turn to the Torah
we turn to the Tuda the word - Oda is
the testimony the Torah is called a
testimony and the targum here train
translates kid ain't amery lahaina this
is what you shall say to them when they
say to you why don't you also go to
avoid Azura's why don't you also believe
in all of these different sources of
power your creativity me Adi your own
power your hair stylist kid ain't
Ireland this is what you say lorry right
so this your Havis alona we turn to the
Torah which Hashem gave to us Willis aha
do an afternoon shaman we listened to
God's testimony the Pusser continues in
law and Raqqah Deir Ezzor sure Anil is
Shahar this is what you need to say says
the shia the response the response to
the nations of the world who say that
there are other sources for power for
livelihood for everything the response
is we turn to the Torah we turn to a
Shem we turn to God God is the one who
is the source of everything
sure Anil a shocker you should know this
is what we say to them we say that the
abide Azura's the idolatries whether
it's the idols of those times whether
it's the idols of today the gold and the
silver that man has made into an idol
saying that the money will save them the
businesses the economy capitalism will
save us these idols we see them aimless
Shahar there's no
Mining chakra means the morning the
shining light this Rika the morning they
don't have any light these aren't the
things that give us our livelihood it
doesn't come from the money doesn't come
from the businesses it comes not for now
boy the Zarya comes only from a college
bar loop only from God only from the
Taira the title villa - Oda so the tyres
referred to as a testimony and so the
measure she understands that and we'll
see you inside shortly but the measure
understands that just like just like the
verse is telling us that if you have
testimony to say about your friend to
help them out and you don't say it so
it's a terrible sin so - we have an
obligation as Jews because we have the
Taira
we have the - that we have the testimony
we have an obligation to reveal to the
world where the true sources where the
true lively it comes from it's not from
the convincing yeah it's not from my
strength it's not from my business it's
not from my from my brains and how smart
I am
it's not from my government it's not
from might be - I flew me it's not for
my social security my security is only
for Michael Chabon who my Security's
from the Taira my security is for my
spirituality here we go
Latoya Villa - you doe attorney either
bono the Torah is that which testifies
within us in law your honor cut the
radish or English or car so the verse
says as we said that a person is to say
that these have no light now my desires
have no lights Ruby - Rashmi benlloch
ish we have two different understandings
of it the earth under showing been lucky
to be a fan on Omar Omar College Buddha
Berkeley Stroh ashram says the people of
Israel Bondi a melodica kama share ain't
like shocked our code ever has there
ain't no Ezreal ahem IRA we need to say
that that by the Zara that has no power
that has no shine it's not going to
shine at all Marvin Lakshmi making lauki
she says what does it mean Oh Morocco -
roughly swell in rely on the Ummah
solemn I share a militia car say to the
nations of the world
that they have no power they have no
light in Las Animas via quesadillas real
a theorem because if they can't shine
for themselves how can they shine for
others the idea here is that it's so
easy to be fooled and to believe and our
power comes from somebody else comes
from our boss comes from our business
comes from the government that's gonna
save us with a stimulus package comes
from b2i halloumi it's so easy to make
that mistake says the measure
don't make that mistake don't forget you
have to testify you have an obligation
and if you don't testify no salvini
there's a sin the Tyra wants us to know
that the Tyra is the source she wants us
to test whether the Tyra Kodesh Baro who
is the source of everything and now hear
this the end of the measure unbelievable
thing that the measure says I be Al
Abbar Kahana armor collision if I fail
of shengshi mr. deschler shaman the
PASOK says the verses tell us that in
Egypt so the ninth of the ten plagues
was the plague of darkness and there
were three days of complete darkness
what is the idea of darkness this is not
a measure this is my own thought the
witness idea of darkness they couldn't
move for three days the darkness was so
thick they couldn't move what was the
idea this idea we're talking about laser
rock I'm sorry Ainley Shekar there's no
light because as long as we believe that
the light comes from the Sun as long as
we believe that all the different forces
of nature are about who created and it's
not him we're making a mistake should
have made absolute darkness so that all
of them should know the Egyptians should
know that the source of light is a
Kurdish mark who the Jews should know
they all call you Sarah or by my voice
Tom the Jews had light why because they
were able to recognize in their the
lesson for us is that we need to know
that the light is Akbar who it's not the
Sun the light didn't come in the Sun was
absolute darkness the light comes -
Michael - for who that was a certain
type of darkness generically shock
available
Artemis rhyme posix says in Exodus
chapter 10 verse 22 there was absolute
darkness in Egypt well I'll tell you
what value machine shoe Bahamas air but
there's a deeper thing a deeper darkness
which we never had in this world tie of
avoid title means absolute utter
confound meant utterly confounded tell
you of a volume type of value was the
late language of the Taira that he uses
at the beginning of creation Bridget
Ehrlich a minister - all right smarts I
tell you before you before I sham
brought any reality into the world the
world was absolute confusion and and it
was a mass was a mass of confusion there
was no distinct particles there was no
distinct reality there was no earth
there was no everything was a mish-mosh
everything was confused it was a
darkness a confusion it's not the same
kind to deeper darkness than the
darkness that was a mitzraim now a vault
oh le choix was a vacant he knows
english Amish but there will be a time
says the mattress where there will be a
deep darkness and from that deep
darkness and confusion Hashem will
reveal himself and then the cometh Irish
it's important to see you the 8c is if
one of them a for Amir Marashi cher ami
Chaka
Allah khalifa sheikha constantly good
vargulf of lawsuit there is an idea that
in the future time before Messiah comes
before the Messiah arrives there's going
to be a great battle a great Armageddon
it's going to be a college Bach who is
going to wage war as a document if you
look in the took him in your high school
Xia chapter 38 and 39 you'll see the
description of this this entire scene
Kogel Mogel this Armageddon scene and it
doesn't say the word there's no Mahama
there's no war there as as as is pointed
out but then it's Civ Madras that's a
college bar who's going to wage a war
without a war it's going to be a plague
says then it's sieve and syllabus opium
Sheikh Hassan is give me a darkness
hasil agog van Gogh of lawsuit that's
going to cover them up it's gonna cover
they're gonna be covered in darkness
this is again the 80s about yeah sure
ain't like Musa Val L AM like of Yiddish
canal lemon shaggy Dylan
call me should tell you about Vedas are
lost in light or rock cliche the posting
is telling us that in the future time
there's gonna be a point of time in a
point in time in a period of time where
there's complete darkness it's gonna be
clear that the avoid desires of this
world all the false idols that we have
will be smashed the absolute confusion
and darkness where is that going to be
the hate conahey not see the Shroomish
words are going to be crack god--all
shell rhyming it's going to be in the
great city of Rome
Shanaya as the passage says in Isaiah
chapter 34 verse 11 not all alayich
after you have niveau you there's going
to be a darkness okay and what is the
idea of this darkness this darkness is
as i'm unfortunately explained i'm not
gonna read it inside but the darkness is
in order that we should see and we
should know the true reality don't think
that the light comes for anywhere else
the tire is given from a darkness from a
dark place the tire shine reveals
himself in the unknown in a cloud and
the a failure in the darkness if you
vote to the michigan in this ID i heard
from a machine repair if you go into the
michigan the darkest place in the
michigan is the creative shock addition
the Holy of Holies where does Hashem
reveal himself in the darkness in the
darkness because he wants you to know
that there's nothing else besides for
him don't think that anything that you
see is real it's all a mirage the
darkness and where is that deepest
confusion and darkness it's in Rome in
Italy that's what the measure says and
so it's our obligation is our obligation
the measure is telling us to reveal a
Kaddish borrow in the darkness it's our
obligation when there's a confusion in
the world a confusion in Rome a
confusion in Italy centered there and he
says that it's not just Roman Italy of
course but it's but it's talking about
the malice of Rome the the malice of AD
on the West there's a confusion and a
darkness in the West this is the time
for a dose this is a time for testimony
this is when we need to stand up and say
everything is from eiko - Roberto who we
don't understand his ways there is
darkness there is difficulty there is we
don't understand it's affecting us as
well - affecting our people as well it's
affecting wherever we are it's affecting
us wherever we are whatever country we
are there's darkness is an economic
darkness and there's there's a physical
a physical health issue that's going on
we're all afraid but to measure she's
telling us that what is our response to
be how do we respond we recognize that
the darkness a coach for who brings the
darkness so that we can recognize that
he is the one that we can testify it's
not the light doesn't come from anywhere
else it's not our pocketbooks it's not
our businesses it's not anything else
it's only him the tohat airavata udo
it's the torah it's the teachings of a
sham that give us life it's the the
Testament the Testament of ecology Baro
who the the testimony of a sham this is
what we are repeating this is the light
that we are to shine into the world
English Shekhar there's no other light
in the world there's no other morning
there's no other morning except for the
tire except for spirituality
except for Hashem light and so that's
the message that I wanted to share with
you this week and I want to bless you
and ask you to bless me some should help
us to recognize the amazing thing that
we're seeing in this world right now
throughout the entire world
perhaps never seen before this is
hakodesh bow whose hand a sham himself
is doing this and we need to continue
it's our obligation in this moment to
testify that our pernessa are live
leaders from him I believe an imam of
immunity leymah my test my testimony is
I believe with complete faith
is the source of everything the darkness
is in order to reveal the light
everything else a li chakra has no light
or some should help us to understand
that and testify that and in this way I
believe a Pushpa who will help us be
ziko
then we will see a gula a tremendous
light that's going to be shown in the
world so soon I'm here I may know I may
have a beautiful Shabbos thank you so
