Maharal Shiur Parshas Lech Lecha with Rav Simcha Bunim Berget at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim

Good. >> [clears throat] >> We're learning the [clears throat] begins within the story that the Aisha tells us about Abrainu is the story begins with and so too throughout the entire sepur of Abrainu we're always talking about Abra be going from test to test a total of 10 of It's a mission in perio in the fifth per the Mishna lists a number of tensor 10 utterances the world were created 10 tests 10 miracles that happened in obviously if it says 10 and 10 and 10 there's a kesher between them the maral here in on perk connects the dots between the soram andos Abrau's 10 tests theor let's see the it's in the second paragraph on the first column which begins with the fact that we mentioned all of these tens The fact that 10 before we talk about linking the 10 together, let's spend a moment says the talking about the significance of number 10. The madrega of 10. We'll soon see what is that madrega. The madrega of 10 is the madrega that the world had a shy to. And that's why the world was created in the number 10. [snorts] That's why all these 10 are there. >> What is special about the number 10? What's special about the number 10? >> 10 words. >> What is special about 10 as a number? >> I that's that's not special about 10 as a number. There's 10 dibbrris because the number 10 is special. But why is the number 10 special? What's unique to say to ask the question in a different term? What's the lumbus of 10? What is 10? What makes 10 different than all other numbers? That number 10 all numbers. Let me give a little introduction. >> Go from single digit to double digit. >> Single digit double digit is important. But what is the importance of that? We're going to get there. We said before now I'm challenging the we're learning together. We're okay. >> What's unique about the number one? What's unique? You know what number one is? It's not a number. >> If a number is something you count, how many cars you have? You and your rabbitson and maybe the kid. One, two, three. But if you have only one, you don't count one. >> Have a car. >> You never You have a car. You don't count it. One. One is not it right. One is not a number. One is not a number. I mean it's a number because you have a two. You know what two is? Two is the kayak of rah. >> It's where the other side exists. It's the alternative to one. It's the sitra. That's why gehenna was created number two. That's why number two it doesn't say good. All of this is kazal cuz two is about division. It's the opposite of one. The of two is that it's not one. The lumbus, the numbers have a lumbus means there's a logical philosophical concept in numbers. And every number one is nisha number. Two is the number of division because two by nature is nish one. That's the of two. There's no unity in two, right? Unless you have a number three which number three is the place that one and two combine to become number three. That's why on number three there's two key types the good of two and three because thanks to the division then you can have the grass and all the things that grow and so the one like my rebi would say there's synthesis no there's a thesis antithesis and synthesis that's one two and three there's a thesis there's the antithesis and then there's the synthesis each number up until nine including nine is a pr is madesh something one is not two is not three is not four is not five is not six each one has its own kadesh until you come to number 10 the kdish of number 10 is it's all the pratim together to make it one unit number 10 is the first number that's mitarif all the pratim And from that number and on you have a cl. If you keep on counting, you're already repeating yourself because after 10 comes a 10 plus a one which is 11. A 10 plus a two. Now you go back to your original numbers. There's no new his after number 10 other than the cloud gets bigger. You go from 10 to 11 to 12. That's taking the old concept of one and two and three and adding that to the to the group. So now you have a bigger group and a bigger group bigger group. Once you have 10, you have the now you have a bigger group. So still the but there's more covered for the has a that none of the other numbers have. What's the [laughter] all the together nine is still nine individuals but nine mention but you can't say then the group goes from to becoming part of a which means that you're something in all of the nine that wasn't there. What are you madish? that they're part of a greater whole. They're individuals still, but they're also part of the whole. So while one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 we're all prim and the only aspect to it was that this is one and this is two and this is three. But once you get to number 10, so then all the other nine are individuals. Plus, thanks to all of them, they all created a unit. That's called a dasha. There's something bigger than in itself. That's called the milo of when you have a world created in nine utterances. You or you have durima durim. So you have a bunch of that the gave when you have or you have all the plus the fact that they all gathered together to make one message one unit which each one has a of the cloud which without that you wouldn't have a cloud you wouldn't have a cloud you wouldn't have you'd have a bunch of so reward reread the words of the marav shamisp Because in lumbus of numbers number 10 represents which number 10 represents that means you don't it's not just what I see what you see is what you get that's from 1 to nine when you have 10 you're part of something much bigger than yourself you're part of a minion you brought here. You could have never done that by yourself, right? You can't do that by yourself. It's very hard to do that. You have to beesh, right? But you can't even with you're still saying can't say kadesh and you still can't read the tyrant. You still can't do right. You can't you can't do you can't do all the things that a minion could do because only when you have a minion, you have a how'd you get to the because you have all these people that gather together as one. When a bunch of get together, it doesn't make a minion. That's it's a good because you don't need a minion because you need a >> but what is a misum? Oh, it says if you have that said it said Right. No, I didn't say that. I didn't say that. Okay. I just I twice I said I didn't say it and I'm saying it on record so that all the world should I didn't say that. I'm sorry you didn't understand. Let's go. Very I want to tell you why number 10. Why? Why was because plain and this world is supposed to go to in order to go from h to this world has to have a potential to be able to reach beyond its limits. Which number in the Bria gives the reality a possibility of reaching belonging beyond its limits? The number 10 because up until nine were all an individual. 10 was created this concept that you are who you are but you're created connected to our higher reality to a higher mitz. Being part of a minion which means being part of 10 means you make a significant difference of something beyond your own personal grasps. Like we talked in a is limited say get out of your I'm going to put you on a madrega that you should be able to go above and beyond. But you know you're going to do that you're going to have to get to that madrega. How am I supposed to do that? 10 nus 10 nishness 1 2 3 4 5 till 9ine will do great but you want a new reality you want to be able to be on a and even though he had the baby before he finished all the 10 but he was on a path of doing this know how many signs he was giving him he didn't give him and think okay you did that one let me give you another He knew going into it for you to get because it comes that's what the moral says if that's they're all linked to each other. So in order to take a world of that was created by which unfortunately humanity was mashill and threw it all the way down. Someone's got to pick up this world. So for every mimer of creation, Abrainu had to connect that of creation to the how did he do it with an >> what was the 10th >> according to most according to it's burying sorrow >> the 10th >> the 10th I think is purvu I think is the 10th one look in your PES, right? Look at look look in your p on the mahar and over there the maral explains how the 10 mak of mit right the 10 makas are connected the 10 mim you know why >> why cuz par said who created the world you want to know who hashem is I'll show you is you know I'm going to show you I'm going to take the same mammor that created the world and now they're going to come back to haunt The same that said is going to say by knowing this you know who said I'll take the same and turn the mimer into a maka cuz if you don't believe who said it so I'll hit you and prove to you who said it. So he didn't just st random come up with 10 makas. Every Mecca was there to prove a point. To which point which point was it proving it was proving the point of who created it? I'm you remember those animals? I said t all right let the animals come out of the ground. You're saying that there's no Hashem and they do what they want. It's random listen. Watch who they listen to. All of a sudden they all come and it's tribe from one day to the next and who do they do? And what do they do? They attack all the Egyptians. And what's the Jews? The Jews? No problem. >> So all 10 are not equal, right? Because the four >> is one equal to two, is two equal to three? Is three equal to four? Each one is different. Each number is different. Each number has its own lumbus and each number represents something different. As a matter of fact, the first six numbers are paralleled in the days of creation as we saw in 1, two, and three. So each one has its own lumbus and each one with the could have created the world. No, he wanted to create it this way. >> When you have a minion of 10 people, >> yes, each one is unique and brings like they say, each one brings something. >> Person of a minion always has the the biggest. Is that what they said >> in a sense of he brings the >> he brings the he changes the other nine from being individuals to being he's the catalyst of being the one who changed the nine into the one who now is responsible for all of them living in a different reality cuz now the is amongst us. So that's it came to us. >> No, I'm saying his test is say a little bit less please. Zuker. Okay. Please. Thank you. Next. Let's learn the so what's the ofus is to bring the world to a higher reality to bring up the world from its lowly position of what humanity had brought it up until now. Because truth be told when aishar made it he made it by suramores which means he made the world in a way that it should be able to rise above its reality. What is haz and haz is this world that becomes how is it possible that should become because was made with so it was made with a to take all the and make them make them which is bigger than the pro which means it is a for this world to morph into a higher mitz through what through the mitzvah the made these worlds with yud what's a h it's a ded with a yud inside that turns the dalid into the hay so the that created he was he doubled it. He took it and put it inside the so therefore an eternal life he put it into this world. How would this world be able to become the next world? The infuse this world with a type of that's that fits to eternal life. If you want to live that way, you know what you should do? Be a yeided. You know what that means? Be audri. Live your life like a yid. Live your life like a 10. Live your life like be. If you're aided then you'll be call because we live like it's not just a ver is ankai to it. You have to live like a tenth like a person who's a part of a minion which means that you're living a life of a higher reality. That's the type of life a person has to live. So let's go back into the mar and see the linus. [snorts] It's a parallel to the those 10. And listen, we're not going to get into this part right now, but the moral I believe does discuss each nan just like in safer hagurus. Maral is masber which Makkah which Makkah is m which connects to which mimer which is which is boracious which is or it's which is each single which is or it's each m was the mime it's not just correlated it was the mimemer that created became the mimemer of a Makkah. You don't know who created it. That mimemer itself will be a Makkah to show you who created it. For those who don't listen, the mimer itself becomes a Maka. That's the lumbus. That's what happened. In the same way, Abra says the Mishna had 10 which correspond to that. What was he doing? Because he was picking up the world that was created and reconnecting it to bring it like a lotion of Ness to pick it up. This is the lumbus of what it says in the Tyra says the next chapter in the next paragraph in the moral theorets were redefined because they needed to be because they were unfortunately ruined. You know what humanity did with those assares? The humanity was the brought the world back to so what happened to all those mamas gigang they lived in the murus that had created the world stopped functioning grass didn't grow sun didn't shine the people were not what is it it's in the what about the rest of the world gigang what happened to it so who's going to build it now there's another 10 generations said I'm ready to finish the world again comes and he's going to be the of the world. So be the 10us of reestablish the so the world should be bazett. So we should have a solid good world. That's why is known as he's the stone and the foundation of because thanks to him the world is now a solid place. the which is the thanks and his were reestablished. Look at the top of the next paragraph. What do you mean so made it? Yeah, made it says the Mishna the world went back to by time they were gone didn't build a world sustained the existing world in the ta he didn't have a sis he didn't have a surus the world that had existed in the world came to Noak and lived in the Tava and that's where the Bria was. >> Well, we have a he >> he could have if he would have saved the world then all of the Mamurus would have been justified because of him. Who kept the original Mamurus of let there be luminaries let there who kept that going? Nobody. So what happened just went into the old world was over the was said in now we'll start again the of the world and how it works already changed the the sun and the moon and the heat and the says there were no seasons beforehand there were no seasons it was all 70° like ganed weather everywhere where excuse me if you go outside on a cold winter night you can get frostbitten you could die right if you stay outside in the summertime in the heat >> yeah heat stroke >> heat stroke can kill you what do you mean nature can kill you nature was created to kill you not when it was originally created up until there was no there was nothing means you could stay outside without your clothing like never get hurt from the nature. Why should you? Who made that? That's the mamorus that they made. He made murus that should kill a person he created to kill. Terret says that's what human beings created. That's what happened after the mak's life starts again with a new world that's dangerous that doesn't sustain humanity naturally. That's not the world that day made. It's not his world. When came out of the table, the world changed. Sovelty didn't save the world. He saved himself and the world continued in the t when it came out. It didn't come out to the best place it was before. Now you got to be careful. Nature can kill you. That's not what the way the world was created. It's not supposed to be that way. So who brought stability back to the world? Abrain. How? Within. He had to be tested. He had to re reestablish every single mime of the world. How did he do it? By rising above nature. The next paragraph in the says, "What's an ass?" An assan is your tea says do this. And what and and naturally, right? A person she kid. How can I kid? My nature doesn't let me do it. You'll have to change your nature. You have to rise above your nature. They took away my wife. I'm going to have kindness on the I'm going to have questions. I'm going to get upset. No, I'm not going to. I'm going to be not asking any questions. Every opportunity to have an means that this natural self is saying one thing and the means I am not bound by my nature. I'm going to rise above it. says, "Is he going to go after his not going after so that doesn't affect him, not the heat and not the cold and all the negativity of the world, he's not changing it because that didn't give him a sh to do but he's not going to be limited by it if he's not limited by the tea so then he can rise above it he can raise the world above that says the medish you know because of that therefore who brought 10 mis which areim which is not who for every time that he rose over his tea. The aishar paid back [clears throat] his children that tea should become subservant for their benefit to punish the Egyptians for what they did and to teach them who's the one who created. That's the heal the word and the word is the same word because it's the same thing. The word ness means to pick yourself up. pick yourself up from tea in a way that tea doesn't bind you. That's what a nest is and that's what an is. If you're means you overcome your So what is what are we learning? We're having a new insight and understanding from the moral of how and why became the foundation of the world in a way that like it says in the mission that he came thanks to his he was to raise himself up and become the foundation of a nation that would not be shy to this world and whether that their that their lives will be connected to a higher reality because that's what 10 really is coming full circle that's what 10 really is 10 is the number that takes theim and makes them it takes the individual and makes him so much bigger I could never bring the into this room but with nine other people I can't do it you can't do it He can't do it, but 10 of us can do it. We're in a higher reality and >> one leaves, >> right? So, >> I would not want to be that person that has to leave. It better be a big bigness. >> So, how are we allowed to leave a minion when >> So, if you leave another nine, 10 people, if you leave another 10 people, you're leaving over the left is over. You're 10 people. The >> when when the dabing is over, the dabing is over. That's it. The is still there >> for what? >> What's keeping him there? Learning whatever is keeping the there. The is there. >> When you finish the prayer, that's it. It's over. Also when right when the spoke to them then went's over said the last then he goes you leave in the middle you're walking away from the you leave and leave over nine people you made the leave >> I don't want to do that I don't know anybody would want to do that to be a bigus to do that to be solved Minion there was a call in the neighborhood everybody answered but I I >> everybody twice about it >> if if everybody listen is everybody's responsibility so their responsibility is to send you and go and save somebody's life if it's their is too but to learn why the number 10 is so unique what's so unique about 10 10 is the number that takes all the and gives it aggressor reality and makes from Single to double double it brings us to a higher every single person when he has somebody else with him. Okay mention three three 10 people mention you're part of a minion when you came now you're part of 10 when you leave there's a higher reality leaving with you the is going out when you're going out not just you're going out the is going out to none of them have the anymore that's the of number 10 when was he reestablished the world [clears throat] which was to be a higher reality for be without a this world would not be going to anymore. Without a this world was already a world that brought death naturally to people. You have to protect yourself to not be have a hurricane. There was no such thing as a hurricane. There was no such thing as heat exhaustion. There was no such thing as frostbite. It was always just perfect weather. Why? Because who made it? The Abisha made it. So how did it change? Because unfortunately, fortunately, that's the Mits. The Abishtra let human beings also get involved. And they're literally physically the world became a dangerous place. You know why it's safe? Cuz he was and he fixed up the world. That's where the world got its stability. to means the that created the re-established them that they should be y that they should be 10 the way the made them 10. How could he do that? Within only that way by doing that made and established the Jewish nation from his that's what gave
