Zera Shimshon Parshas Behar - Bechukosai 2026 with Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger

Okay, good evening. Tonight we're going to do alf the first one on par which is on page. Welcome to everyone here in to anytime tonight's shirim is generally sponsored by anonymous Ginas whose yard site is gimmel whose yard site is on Sunday ear. Also on a personal note today tonight is the yard site of Renoar. It's her first yard site. The shear is my father's and my mother died Karen Mayor Ben Miriam Benfu Shal to Yahosua Shalom Bened Basia Hatino Yeshua Shalom Ben Yeshua and Ben is [gasps] Okay. Paresi lear the has the hashem that hashemar maybe one of the most popular sukim in the entire tyra. Everything from the time started talking to Raenu was and almost all of it there was but all of it was the fact that the says in this week's par the location is everything was said in Sai. Why now is this mentioned special over here? And as Rashi says, the very famous question, what does have to do with Hari? And Rashi continues everything was said in [snorts] we didn't have to write or anywhere else it was self understood was given these mitzvah like we say in moi from so the cash of course is why is this different? Rashi answers in this week's par we get to see how has all of the clawless the protest theim all of different than other mitzvah where you just get a oneliner and then everything else is it says have to be black and the straps and doesn't show you in the there's no picture of what is and it doesn't even tell you what is. So how do we know what to do? It's we believe it said but you don't see it inside the here was different what you should do how you should do what you should leave over etc. These were said. So too this is the first rashy in this week's par one of the more famous and quoted rashies in all of the Tyra the brings If you want to be, shouldn't the question be a little bit different? How so? What does he mean to say? What does he mean to say? Like we mentioned als everything came from Sai correct all of the mitzvah that gave was given at Sai here in the mitzvah of Hashem decided to tell us. So why did come to why was it mentioned here? It always says here it says so what's different? What's different is that popped up is mentioned. So why did we move over to not right? Not that's the way you should say it. You should say it says this is what asks a what's that? >> Well, well the first thing is if it's proper [clears throat] if it's a corre if it's correct that what's the novelty it's not a novelty that Hashem says mitzvah it's a novelty that Hashem in this particular mitzvah said that was in hari. So if you want to ask a mitzvah, if you want to ask a question correctly, the nav is correctly. Okay, we especially in the Tyra. So if you could have said it a different way and it said it this way, there must be a message here. That's what he's going to want to see if he can teach us. He'll teach it to us. We're going to try to learn it. It would look like Rash's asking two. And once we're talking about this question, what's unique about is that all the of the mitzvah was said here. Why this mitzvah? Why not choose fillain? Why not choose a different mitzvah to make that point? Why did why did use the mitzvah of to teach this to me? You could have learned that by a different mitzvah. These are the ask. So what he wants to know is the between what makes them unique? Why was chosen as this mitzvah? The answer is the real question is indeed why did the choose to be here. Excuse me. Why is so if everything was said at Hari? Why is the one that teaches us about hari who had the truth is no matter which mitzvah would have been chosen we would have asked the same question we would have said so let's say it would have been or we would have asked the same question why was this mah chosen soak So in a sense since any single mitzvah says the you would have chosen you would have asked why is this mitzvah the one that's chosen you would have asked so why was it fillain why was it whichever one we would have chosen why was it and the answer would have been there must be something special about it so since it could have happened by any mitzvah instead the The rashi or the mafam explained why was chosen. So the question isn't on hari. The question is really about what is this mitzvah of all about? Why of all the 613 commandments was the one that was chosen to be singled out as more than all the other mitzvah? that the teaches us. Why of all the mitzvah that you chose is that I wrote by this mitzvah, but I want to know what was the reason I did it by this mitzvah than any other mitzvah. So therefore I ask it in that's I ask it this way for all of you who are used to learning with the finger. This is the way we learn in yeshiva but let's get to the let's get to the meat and potatoes and the terret is the we'll go straight ahead. What happens in the mitzvah of mitzvah? There is something unique about that makes it and hari which in English means >> parable comparable similar to each other as we'll see create a yo which is a 50 and hari was reached at a madrega of 50 days but let's learn the sugia so like this the zi If you talk about for a minute, why did the aisher choose the seventh year to make shmita? Why didn't he make the shmita after five years? Why didn't he make it after six year? I mean after 5 years and year number six maybe you know bris you make on the eighth day hug so maybe seven years working >> on the eighth day you relax >> eighth day will be that that'll be the eighth day >> maybe I should also make shabas on the eighth day or the fifth day >> why that's what he's going to ask what you're answering is to such wants to dig deeper. Let's you know in some places we know already you could ask whatever you want and sometimes if you don't know right I could sometimes like I thought I could figure out I see it's too big but doesn't mean you can't ask the question The first thing the says is that the number seven is very secretive. What the simple is certainly difficult even though there's so many about itself is saying that it's at one point it's going to be beyond comprehension but let's see how he explains this and we'll learn a lot along the way and I want to incorporate a little bit of the moral can't do the uh I have a [clears throat] a shul I'm in aos >> and I'm really not supposed to go to any but is as I have after go show up and say maz and then turn around and come home because that's make the happy [clears throat] so I'll go in I'll drive there so say maz and turn around and come home so the sands >> says the gimar and and the seventh month. Which of the months of the year is rich with which is the what would you say Rabbi say? Which one? >> Tish, right? Because what does tre have? Rashana right. Which month is that? >> Seventh says the medish call sevens are always it's like it says the seventh there. That's where the is in number seven are oft known as the land of the seven nations. The seventh generation. He's number seven. Had seven children. He's the seventh of the children. The number seven by the by the generations, by the land, by the heaven, by this man. 777 Alamash. The seventh year What is this? If he wouldn't have been born on the seventh, he wouldn't have been. So if David wouldn't have been born on the seventh, they wouldn't be so. Aren't they important because of who they are? not in which sequence they're born. What's the and he answers like I think Allah answered in some of the other if the seventh wouldn't have been he wouldn't have made Shabas on the seventh day. If Hashem could do everything, why didn't he make the world in five days and he rest on the sixth day? And everybody would say the sixth day is holy because he's made the world in five and they rested on the sixth. He could have listen like we say in this week's wouldn't have been seven days. It would have been would have been one moment. If it would have been it would have been instantly right. So the decided 10 over seven days over eight mak seven days of work and let the eighth day be the day make it nine day week and then the 10th day is going to be shabas. The Chinese I think tried doing that. Isn't that right? Any historians over here? Right. They had attended a nine day weekend number 10. And all the greatness of Shabas would have been on whatever day that would have been whether it been the eighth day, the sixth day or the 10th day. Then all those things which we say would have dashed accordingly. Let make six. And the sixth one is seven wouldn't have been the seventh one either. was also the seventh could have been done before and or afterwards as that's what that's what they ask. It's unstandable. It's Maral says something fascinating. Naral says, "You're right. In a certain way, the Aisha didn't have to create it this way." The Aisha created a three-dimensional world. That's what he created. That was to create a three-dimensional world. In a threedimensional world, completion is with number seven. In a threedimensional world, do you know what a three-dimensional world is? A world of six sides. Six sides. Six. Thank you very much, Elazar. This is threedimensional. Correct. There's a width, a length, and a height which creates shisha stim. Why did he create these this world? That's the of this threedimensional world. And that's number seven. [snorts] Number seven is the there's uh the concept of which is says the you know means to be satisfied complete. >> It's a lotion of schlamos. A lot of full there was a shabas before creation. There's a shabas before when you do something at the end talk about after the world was created and then we came back to the shabas that was and now what was placed as a the seeds of what wanted after he developed the world came true. So it existed in a sense beforehand in what happened that he created the world for a tless that that he had in mind like person wants to go wants to he wants to finish that's his goal so he has a plan and he learns every day and then it comes seven and a half years later and he makes and he makes it where he was going to make it. He makes it with all the friends and everything. When did he think about this? Seven and a half years ago. Then he started persona wants to be a doctor. You know what he wants? He wants to be standing with those green clothing. >> He wants the scrubs, right? With the with with the with the shower cap on his head, right? He wants that. That's what he wants, right? So 12 years earlier, right? Before he goes to undergraduate school, graduate school, residency, 12 years later. So the reality that means the completion of what I wanted to have back then existed in the and then through the mice it came down and thanks the mice I can now connect this was the all theas that was done in the world was done because of He wanted to have a relationship with his bria. So he created everything in order to have that relationship. That's the secret says the moral of number seven. That's why the word and the word to be complete shu which means it's the completion of the seven days which is that's what he says. And everything in the is number seven is always the completion. So Mosa who thanks to him the world was completed. Thanks to him the world was completed. He was born the seventh generation. That's why born in that time which is the most the most the the area that's the place where it's a place that is defined by seven that's he says it's a and he's right and it's even deeper but the maral gives a little bit of a working okay so is shabasem And we get to after a series of seven, right? Seven times, seven weeks and then you get a complete and then and then you can get to that similar to the dar of mit. Let's see inside. Let's see what he says. Let's go to and see some of the of the connections. If would keep the they would have never gone to go like it says in this week's paras the keep. So they had to go to gullis. So look at the parallel represents freedom. If they would keep right the theas then they would ne they would always be free and never go to gullis. The common denominator between and si is both of them are a key to a key to freedom. The says, "Even though they left, they were not yet 100% clean, they were still, you know what Shiva Nikim is? It's for married women. As the zerodes says, the tahara of clus during the seven weeks of parallels the seven days of shiva nikim. And we say we're in the process of trying to cleanse ourselves so we can be the best version of who we are so that we could be as t as we could be. Those are the 70 days. 50 days. That's called the year. Once we got to that was the defining moment that like the Gmorrah says they have a certain contamination we have that purity that comes from the does the separated the 600,000 souls see this all of our [clears throat] all 600,000 from all generations the suras Let's explain was the first manish in that man was all of the people that would be ever born in the world. all of the to be born got to be together on such a that all of the that are even us were all back to that surah back to that and that's why had we not done the and we would have had mashiach and the world would have had its taken You would have been on that madga of all the and this was bigger than you know why because it was all of cloud you saw it was that were together all into one that was the m of the seven* seven that was and that's No one is an EV to anybody anymore. Everybody goes free. All the free everybody goes back to it. That's what happens on and that's what happened on and that is every single year and that's what it means it was and I want to just say one more thing one more about every seven years init says to all of the all of the farmers what right don't work who's going to take care of you. Who's going to take care of you? >> Not the Israeli government. >> Not the Israeli government. Good. Who's going to take care of you? >> I want to take care of you. You have the says something Rabbi. The syrus says if a person doesn't have the confidence in himself says then I'll make sure that year number six gives you three years so you can have six seven and eight so you'll have a stockpiled of stuff that's already for those who don't believe so much those were the ones who said but there's a higher major rabbi side there's a major where a person says I don't have to ask on the if the says he wants to feed me I'm going to take it if the says you don't work this year spend time with me I promise you I'll take care of you then you're elevating error your soul and You're making it on that seventh day. You're giving the land its schlamos. If not, it's going to kick you out because then it needs to have its needs to have its be and you're not letting it. So, it's got to go. It's got to let you off. That's right. That's right. 100%. And that we have every say he doesn't have to worry about doesn't have to worry about [snorts] and doesn't have to worry about every time shabases comes along and a person says it's shabas I'm not going to talk about any mitsurus during the week. Not does I'm not going to talk about them. I'm not I don't feel like I have them. I don't think about them. I get to the madrega of now. I don't have any problems. It's shabas. I'm good. You're good. Then you're bringing up yourself. You're doing you're making yourself into such a mad where you're not missing anything. You are then you're your to have you have nothing else is good. It's a mad you don't have to worry about your it's taken care of. You don't have to worry about because if you don't have any you don't see any of the he doesn't see any in you the number seven is a good number for the number seven is the number that all of our came through that seven to be to bring ourselves S12.
