Maharal on Yom Kippur and Parshas Vayelech Shiur by Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger

Good evening my this is our marsh last year of the season right before this carries us over till tillious zal is from and three things right what Um [Music] yeah, there was a rebi in the time of the Gmorrah. He was the it was years of famine. She came to him and she said, "Give me parnoso. There's nothing left in the Kashaka. We don't have anything left. I'm sorry. He said to her, "There's no money left in the sedaka. If you don't give me, if you don't give me food, is viva banel mason. A woman and her seven children will die. We have nothing. There was no money in Sedaka. So he took his own. He took what he had and he gave it to her. He got sickos and he was holding venal lamos. He was close to death. It was a person. How could he die? He went and saved these this woman and her seven children. Midin says that he shouldn't die. If you save one nephesh, he saved a woman and her seven children. He got another 22 years left to live. Another 22 years of life. I want to explain to you says the don't think misoya a woman seven children why is it ty why why is the gumar telling us this story cuz that's what it was right don't you know that kazal always taught secrets. And even when they told stories, it wasn't just the story. Do you know what the secret is? The world was created in seven days. The seven children represent the seven. The shivas you may be it says means carved out, chiseled out. The world was created in seven days. When he gave her saddaka, he wasn't just giving a woman and her children saddaka. Rabotai wasn't just giving them saddaka. He was keeping the world going. The message of the gimarra is that being mafaris another person giving them parnosa is in itself giving to someone else which in turn gives to the entire world the aish wants us as we'll soon see to be hisim to be his partners and gives us the opportunity that's Right. [Music] And that's why they were 22 years of the he gave he gave to this woman to the world. So he was given the he was the source of for the world. So the source of of the world which was the Tory was given to him. The meat the malim said it's not fair. So the den said this is the den. You supported the world. So that that supports the world shall support you. The 22 years >> the 22 years connected of the and the was the source of the world. That's what he's saying. The number isn't just random. It's 22 years because he becomes a so therefore the source of which is the blueprint of the world becomes his life. It is established through 22 letters saying that it makes sense and it's much deeper than we understand it. Let's go v. >> Who's the mother? The mother is the kayak of creation. That's that goes before the six the source of these seven days. It's the presence of the aishtar because this seven world this sevenday world right has a higher reality an eighth day right an eighth component that's the shish of all these seven that's called imma okay yeah This is a person sees that his he's not making it. He's just getting by. He's just getting by. Paycheck to paycheck. If you have a lot, you certainly should. If you shear off some of your funds and you give it to that will save you from Ghana. You had two sheep. They were going through the water. One was clean. They taken off all the wool, so it was skinny. Nothing adhesive to it. And the other one was full of hair. the one that sheared off even if a person's getting soda givea why as Maral is about to say a person was created to be a mashia and even if a person has to accept from others in order to survive sora How could they be mashia? They're going to make a loan. Take some of what you have and be explains the when a person becomes a love gives to you. If a person sees that he's very just You know what's going to happen? He'll become a funnel. He become a channel. If a person has a lot, he has enough. If not, God forbid then on the contrary if he doesn't use the it's going to be gone right anything which is which is when it's too much it's not supposed to be. So if you get rid of it in the right way that you're giving to so you're give you but if not then you know what happens the marshall said it's like the two sheep that go through the water. The one that didn't give away is full of wool. That's the reason that that sheep drowned. Too much wealth and not giving it away the way you're supposed to will lead to says the it's extra on the it's not part of the when you cut away the wool you're not making the animal a bal just grows more afterwards. So it grows, but the mass can kill a person. Look at this. It stops being his. It starts unfortunately to become his [Music] I saw with my own eyes on one s fellow was so wealthy so wealthy hashem and his nagus with with seductus >> was so inappropriate. He was so wealthy that you would never think he could lose it. He lost it. He lost it. Doesn't live in his old city where he used to live anymore. Very I know a couple of people like that. Unfortunately, they had this is when we d and we say both and Sometimes could be the rest of but on one condition you know that it's being given so you should be mashia to others. So you should have the humility and the humbleness to give to others because if not then the itself could go forbid. You give life to an The zel over there could be or god forbid not do both of them had plenty of extras. They had so much wool. One of them cut it off a walked right through the danger area. Didn't end up in Geham at all. Didn't get stuck. The other one, the extra is what put him in there. The extra is what drowned him. When he uses it the right way, he becomes a source of says the mace. Then it becomes unfortunately what we call in English dead weight. Pun intended. Then the becomes dead weight. One more piece. has a discussion. Somebody once came to us and said if loves why doesn't he feed them and if he's not feeding them so obviously he doesn't love them. So what are you feeding them for? So it's a sin to feed them because the made them so let him do it. Why isn't he giving them the >> through? You know why the is doing us a favor? Cuz we unfortunately needap. So by giving us right but we'll see. So therefore this is ours. Why did he say so you shouldn't die says it's underlined. You're going to die. I don't care if you live a thousand years. The end you're going to die forever. >> Nobody lives ever. Right. You don't have to be a to member to know that, right? And nobody lives forever. That not everybody. Why should you get? You don't have to get that. You can be nuts. Now, here comes a big point. Do you know why he asked if loves why is he or if he doesn't obviously he doesn't want so why do you do it because the person asking the question says moral thought that anias people are poor because they're sinful so if it's sinful so then you're supporting a sinner the br doesn't want that that's a mistake Bonai. If a person is going to make money or not make money has nothing to do with sin. What do you want from the you think he's he's not a sinful person? That's the masle. That's where he was born. Lots of you don't have >> a lot says it's possible but you but you need a big you know what a maz means it doesn't mean a person is no m there is a masle in the world but you can rise above the masle with you could change the masle could change it with because clasol although we are born in a teeta world obviously You jump off a building, god forbid, you're going to get killed, right? You do something, you get get in front of a moving car, you're gonna we live in a world, but a person can have rise above and then he could be to change his masle like went out right say right doesn't but does I always ask the forbe why did you have to say Make A have a kid. >> Why do you have to change it from A to Araham? Make A have a kid. A was born without kids. And Aam was not going to have kids. But you don't have to be a anymore. You could become Araham and you can change your nature, become a different person. And then the maz will change. That's right. Or that's and even if it is sometimes a person isn't only because of [Music] wants a person to do it. You're going to tell a doctor don't go don't heal him. Why? Don't go, right? He does that says and says is giving us the opportunity what the says more than you think you're doing for the by giving him he's doing for you by giving you the that you can have in that act of you might be giving him 20 bucks, 50 bucks, $100, $1,000. He's giving you eternity. You're getting so much more. >> So the money gets from that too, right? >> He's of course he gets afusing here in China gives you a lot of >> You better believe it. That's right. to realize that let's be able to adopt that attitude to understand how fortunate we are to be mash because when a person is a mash when a person is a mashp then then he's activating the that the intended us to have and he's using it the way he's meant to be used which is to do that is to give to others. That's what is for throughout the year we forget that. That's why now when a person does regretting his act is connecting to the for others. So he's whatever evil or whatever that could have been written for him. He has to wipe away because now he's attached to the source of life. And when a person's attached to the source of life, then the person has that [Music]
