You in it? >> Okay. Can you hear me now? Yes. Okay. There you go. All right. Ellie, you ready? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Good evening. We're going to do the morale and scroll discusses the mitzvah of as it is written in the and adjacent to let's explain everything that does of course has a would go without saying and every single debour where they're placed and adjacent to what they're placed every single dour every single one has a the moral over here tonight is going to discuss the cash share between in addition to the fact that is written in the First tablets we talk about the fact that there are two. The first five are honoring parents. are on the first everything is talking about right and is included. Ed. How so? Says the quoting the inadim. There are three partners in the creation of every person. There are three and then the Gar goes on to say when a person gives I am now in your house with the mitzvah of Kirb. When there's proper respect in the home for mom and dad, for Tati and mommy, then >> the in your home, it's on and you are honoring me says I'm not here. It's good that I'm not living in the house. Iani first of all that the cash that we have to the aster in our daily lives and in our home is through our parents through the honor of mom and dad aba and imati and mommy through the honoring through honoring them the garra tells us that gives us a direct cash to the aishar so the fact that they're in the creation state in the gimar they're not only in the bria of the person but in the ongoing shis to the aster because of that because of the original in creation of a human being there's an ongoing sh to the aish through how is that supposed to work Let's see how the morale explains is known as it's hard to translate these words in English, but we're going to give it a try. There's the source, which is the the source, and then there's the product, which is the the person that comes from the source. The nikraam. This concept that the is the source and we are the product is also true by parents by he is excuse me. They're both together. The abasher empowered a man to be able to have children. So therefore, when the person is having children, he's obviously using the kas that the aishar had with him. But it's more than that. The whole bria has the kas of the aishtar, but it doesn't say that the aishar is af with all other creation. I once heard from my Shapiro he said is unique by Eden by it's justim the fact that when did this happen we are the of hashem is a yud and a he the same yud and he that's found in ish and is man and woman in order for the abisher to be shift to be the father of us and be a [snorts] in order for us to be shift you have to have an ish and an isha if you have a machika you don't have an ish and an isha and therefore you don't have anything else then the product of a mashik but you don't have a mench you don't have what's called for that you need the of the for that >> stick around >> and you have to have the alif yud yud shin the alf shin hey when did this start. Who started this? We've talked about this over the last few weeks. Yakov Au. Yakov was the father and the identity of Clus. Yakov Ainu because when Yakov Ainu was got married to his wives, the admisses only wanted Ra. And all he wanted was to establish children in this world. That's why when he says to [snorts] and the and asks what a crude way of talking that's so it's so not it's says, "Don't talk that way." Just because it's doesn't mean you should talk that way. Emphfort my no you didn't understand. Rashi answered your kasha. That's all he had in mind. There was no physical desire or need other than what the nama wanted as though the gansf and all the that were there to create were only because the nama said that this is what it had to happen. So everything that happened in his with his wives was zer was to do the hashem. So therefore in these acts of procreation the aish was made afro and here's a tif of vertu doesn't stop being masher the ab to his children from the time that he had those first shift those Kids are so connected that regardless of what they do, even if a boy and a girl who are Jewish have relations not for marriage and not to have a child but have a child, it's still called shift. They're still they're still considered Jewish. Why? because of what Jacobu did when he created the is we talk about it again and again but every time we say it and you learn it a little bit different you could be even when we say is he's the first that became Jewish the famous statement of hutner and and is the first one born each one was And is there means to say who we're understanding that the cash that Jacobu had as the father of Clrol he was a that anybody who's his children Jacob Ainu who was loy was wasteful was Ally just what wanted. So therefore his mis of being mazri children for created such a that you can never sever that tie. It doesn't matter. Anybody born from yeden is considering bout. Let me just go through the whole point. Everybody is yeden. So now that casher between the Tata Jacob Ainu and the Aishar with with the emo created as such a mative that every yeed a man and a woman when they'll create a child the will be a sh with them for that you needed au and the umam who don't have that kesher so the are creating because their body wants not because their wants. So for them it's a so it's a for us procreation is a it's a it's a that brings a down. You needed a Yakov Au to be able to create that kesher. And that's the Yakov Ainu Loy Mace who fuses together not just his goof with his but he fuses together all from he is the surah of that's why we all identify with him. So his act of to his wives that created shift was an act that [clears throat] you cannot any Jewish person who's born has a sh together. That's where this comes. You want to show me a pik. >> That's right. Because that's what it means that means that nothing of au went not from when he was born until he until he died by all of his life was one big. There was no mis in Yakov Au's life. none whatsoever. If a Jew could have a kid and that kid wouldn't be Jewish with another and it wouldn't be Jewish, that would be a he of so that continues throughout. So therefore says the automatically I am a with you. I'm automatically av when you're giving respect to your parents. I'm there and this is the way you can have me in the house. Now says the maharal I'm going to skip ahead. Running out of time. I'm going to skip ahead on the underline where it says second column that he warns or that he informed and there's a double underline he is the source of the world in shabis we talk about the fact that the is is the so too. He is also your god. He's also your for you. We every single one of us are betsi the abisher takes care of us specifically. My rebi said that the only way you could sometimes people ask themselves was I really supposed to marry this woman. Sometimes people's marriages don't last and they get divorced and they think that maybe maybe they married the wrong person but they had kids together. Marbi said it's impossible to bring down that nishama >> unless you have specifically that man and that woman. Every nishama that the aishers are with has to come from those two male and female nishas or else which is the child would never be able to make it down. So it is so bash that even when a marriage doesn't work out but you can never say that it wasn't meant to be especially when they have kinderl because how is that nishama supposed to come into the world if not for the fact that these two people had to create it and since that nishama was basher to come down it works the opposite you think that the reason that I have the kid right that why is the kid there because we got married. No, you got married to have the kid. You got married to have the kid cuz that that cannot come down unless these two with the become the that's what my Rebi said. So this person every single one of us are we are connected to the so therefore these two the fact that the aish is the one who runs the world and who runs the world is the fourth and fifth of the commandments in the So now I understand why these two are together because it's talking about involvement if you're used these people to bring you in this world. So then you're obviously as well too. So it also belongs in the first five because they are the to which you could be therefore there should be the deb of that's why [clears throat] it has to be in this in this He created the world not to think that the world happened by chance like many people think. They say that everything that happened was by chance to tell us that he's the one who created the world. Because if the world would be bikra then nobody did it. It happened by chance. On the contrary, we believe that the aish made the world. So to your existence is also not a mikra. The aish fashion. If your parents happened to have you mikra, you wouldn't have a mitzvah of because what do they have to do with me? It just happened to be by chance. But the issue on the last paragraph which is underlined why because there's if like he says because if the would be just I wouldn't have responsibility to go ahead and be then so right that the way the abisher is involved in our lives is through our parents. It's through them that we wouldn't have been shy to be in the world if not for them and they wouldn't have gotten married if not for us. So this is our owner that we have to the aur through them he is in our life go back to the garan kadush. So the gumar says when you're mab your parents you're being mab and you respect the sh that I made says hashem you respect the sh of me putting your parents together so that you should be able to come into this world so you're actually valuing your own existence you're valuing the fact that you're here without you couldn't be here without me and you couldn't be here without them and they couldn't be together if not for the fact that you needed to be here. That's the connection that we have durish. So when you I'm there with you when you your parents I mean I'm in the house with you. Of course I'm there because this you are the product of that right and the ongoing it's not just cuz they created you like we said in the beginning right it's because it's a general connection to you ongoing that's why says the moral you have you have shabas right to be the shabas and to be careful for the shabas and surah you have the covet of the which you can be him by being his that brought you into this world. So all four links are in the same chain kind of >> the links of giving don't swear falsely give respect to the through the through the through the bria through the general bria and through your own personal bri every single one of us to bring to arise to bring in the I'm gonna finish. If you what we said tonight about how when yeden are able to be miscasher to their parents and give them and we're miscasher back to the of who gave us the opportunity to have you'll understand why specifically by mitzvah it says it says long life is given to people their parents Because when you're connecting to you're connecting back to the of who is mash this which is an endless [clears throat] life that's why over here in this mitzvah the reward of this mitzvah is so that a person like it says in the regarding because you're tapping into that everlasting you're tapping into the of Uh,
