Good evening my river. Yep. Zerimshen paresra. Letter H. Letter H is on page Yud B. Tonight's Zer Shimshin will discuss the power and the effectiveness of prayer. the suga which is of course the suga of building a mish bringing carbon the bra that says that the were the carbon so it's probably an appropriate time to talk about the power of prayer and that's what this zer discusses I first want to welcome everyone from Torah anytime all of you who watch this either on YouTube or wherever ever anyway sees this tonight is Jonathan Baron's mother whose yard is tonight Biss our words of the zerim should be an aliyah for her >> amen >> also want to wish a maz to our children yasco yehuda and is kaladina it's the middle of brahusa. You see my kids having chevraas, but I'm here with you because I want to give them the of the zerosion. So, I mean, I saved myself going to Lakewood, you know. >> Wow. Wow. >> Wow. I know in Lakewood they don't watch this. >> I can't wait for you. >> Yeah, that's right. >> And also for Haj and her right whose vert is right now and I told them I'll be giving this for their and their Reba Mayor Ben Miriam Karen Civia Benedia. Let's go. Rabbi the shi peric bay again. And it's page letter Omar in a base. The your is quoting a navi. Hashem says sends a message. Shall the house of a be atoned for their sin? Theu is saying that any carbonos that they would bring would not atone for the sin that base a had committed. What is going on? A little bit of novi history. Something we don't always get unfortunately. When the Mishkan was in Shilo, it was there for 369 years. Ali Hakayen was in charge of the Mishkin for a long and he had two sons Kofni and Pinas who unfortunately abused the power that they had and caused and were and were not fair in their serving Clausro when they came to bring carbonis. The Gumar discusses certain things that they acted inappropriately. It came to a head alien heard about it and he said what I've heard that you're doing is inappropriate. But as you see this is by the way the place where Hanovi became the novi and he took over for a he's the one who anointed. This is where schol and were anointed as kings. upon him the gori teaches us the following lesson when that statement was said will I accept says the kahana said would they have ded would have the power to bring them kapor. The simple shot is that seems to be able to accomplish more than carbon is do asks the ra how did know that it was that was maybe it's something else where is the indication that I want to know where did get from number one number Isn't every carbon need a as well? Isn't it true that in order to get kapor you have to also dive in? If you're not praying, just bringing a carbon and saying I brought my carbon. It doesn't go like that. You have to also pray with your carbon. You have to do vi and the and the so and that's coming with the how can the do it on its own that's so the first question was it says no says yes question number one is where did he know that from how do you know yes and number two You're anyway ding. So if you're anyway ding it that doesn't work. So how's going to work alone? Says the let's answer the second question first. It is true. The carbon comes from the person which is a part of the cha process. If you want to know in the process of bringing a carbon they would always bring say you would place your hands on the animal that's what was that what was so the zerosimian tells us that's the time when you said vi And that's when the time you the says that when you do when he would lean on the animal he have to put in my said the meaning of putting means it's like you're betting the house on that animal. You're putting all of your strength that you have into this animal and that's coming now. It's not just but it's your of your and the vidi. So you're basically telling everything that I got is riding on this animal and I need you to accept this. That says the zerosimshin is really where the capora happens. Yes, you have to spritz the blood, but your skin in the game, so to speak, as the has to happen with that humbleness, being humble and understanding that I need this carbon really badly cuz I need to get that kapura. It's the law that happens that makes the carbon work. That's what makes it work. The quoting of which we'll see wasn't so long ago, right? Not so long. Even we had a little bit of so for the that learns I see a lot of people nodding their heads except for the yeshiva right all the are all nodding their heads right keeper what's that what the raam says is well if you works which is a quote from the explains and says the I didn't have a chance to be honest to learn through the again but the says a big theor says that if you didn't if you didn't do it's still we're saying Now that the part of the carbon is how do we reconcile that says the following when it says in theor that you don't have to make that not but that does not mean you don't have to have regret. If there's no regret, then it's called and you're bringing me a carb and it's just like you have no remorse whatsoever. The whole what does the word carbon mean? What does carbon mean? >> Carbon means come close. The carbon is a vehicle through which you come close to the aishar. If you're not coming close, then where does and how does the carbon help? So, it's got to be, but we're not saying that when you did, you just didn't do it in the but you still had the what the meant to say was if you're going to bring carbon, you could bring carbon from today till tomorrow. But if there is no remorse and there's no regret, the carbonas are worth nothing is which means the act of putting your So again was because that really represented a person putting all that he had his into his into his prayer, into his not just dabing like this, saying the words. You have to put your heart into it. That's why makes a difference. We're going to get back to that momentarily. How did he know that? Let's skip down to uh to the same column. on the first question about how did you know we're going to learn you know how important doning is going to doning with a minion putting your heart into is bigger than all the how does he know that had tremendous what he didn't do for CL saved them from the Ael took them out of Mits went and killed a Jew excuse me a on the first day for the sake of a Jew risked his life from day one all theu had and yet He asked the again and again and he asked and he was not answered. He got a response a good response. So that's number one that we'll have to learn the suga. I don't know if tonight but we'll have to learn the suga because ask never made it in ter >> what >> yeah his feel wasn't answered. >> His feel wasn't answered. >> It was answer >> but the lion of the gim over here. Yeah. But you so he didn't ignore him. He didn't ignore him. The villy I guess I can't leave the hanging. The villag says in braus over there the villag asked but he wasn't answer he said no what did want that he should be able to go to saw to go to the ban mikdash to build the ban mikdasham said go up to the mountain and I'll show it to you what do you have from the fact that he showed it to him says the vin you'll stand here on har on the other side of the Jordan and you'll see till the B mikt and it's like the B mikdash will come to you says the go wherever a person I will consider wherever you are in the world like you're by the which means you don't need to go to the to get into the banto I will give you your you wherever right a person is that's what the go would say you don't bring the prophet to the mountain you bring the mountain to the prophet who brought the of the wherever you are in the world it's you're in front of me which means it's a mdish as long as your heart is in the right place it's considered like you're was answered to physically you won't be there but the mile of going to Eritis that it could be considered that you're by the and you're standing in front of him. You can have that thanks to your prayer. That's number one. He said two statements bigger than So you see that doesn't do theap but has a bigger and is bigger than says and says the why did he separate should have said again I want to explain the said statement number one brings why didn't he just say why is he making two statements says column on page gimmel second column we'll jump straight into the terret because he's talking about two people. He's talking about one person who has a lot of atic and he's talking about another person who doesn't have to but he's coming to get and he's coming because he's wasn't such a good person. It's like coming to do chuva says this one is talking about I'm teaching you two lessons says You can have a fellow. He's he's really a good fellow. He really does only good, but he shouldn't think for a second. You shouldn't make a mistake and say, "Do I have to ask? What do I have to ask for is going to give me?" Don't you dare think that all the that you have, if you think that therefore have I give a lot of you better continue asking for that because to think that a person can rely on his laurels because because then you're saying I'm serving Hashem. I'm an I'm doing good things. So therefore, you're going to give me, right? It doesn't work that way. You do good things because you have to do good things. And you want ask for it. You're going to get, but not in this world. So there's no guarantee for you. Want to know how you get it? You ask for it. You don't say anything. You just listen. If you're getting a blessing and then the person is busy with other things in middle of the blessing so that he's not going to get that. You need something. You need to get married. You need You need to close a deal. You need to get a new job. You need something and you're not ding for what you need of it. Don't start thinking I'm so good. I take care of my my old mother. I take care of this. I have all these get I run out. calls doesn't matter. That's not the way a person should or could get the from the you have to ask and then he will answer. If you don't ask, you're not going to get. Now, once we're talking about says the I want to talk about the inion of asking someone else to dab for you. What's that in of going to a sadic or going to someone and asking them to dab? Turn to page. That's a longtick. It would take us well over an hour to do this. So we're highlighting the page on the it says last um paragraph here he talks about the about asking people to for you From where do I know that when a person with a minion he's with a I'm not sure he brings a picabir kabir means of he will not be and now continues. You're learning Tyra. You're doing and you dive in with the What did Rebn say? Nassen said that listens to the of the rabbi. He brings one and then he continues and he says that when a person he brings a p of as we'll soon see the nav is referring to the and he's himself because of a person who learns and you've started ed off Rebn by saying that there's a ding with and then you pivoted to start talking about a person what happened here says because with me and not because of your tyrant. He starts off by his opening statement that the listen why does he say how did that get mixed into his statement I want to answer this based on if You see a generation. The skies are like copper. There's no rain coming. The clouds turn a funny color. But it's not raining. Do you know why? There's not people dabing in the door. The word also means a lion of whisper. You know how they're davening. That's not the way to daven. You don't d like that. Go to somebody who knows how to daven. Go to someone who knows how to daven. A person has something is something is not good. You go to someone who's a and you should ask of the sh of those who fear Hashem, their prayers, their when it's Who has who has the when you look for the who are you supposed to take? What are the qualities? Someone who has children, it means he knows what it means to take care of kinder. He's a balis, a person who's older a little bit. That's which means he's with that type of person. That means to say we're talking about a person who's a who's ding for the rabbi. Who is your whos for the that's the means like it says in the that means to say when you have 10 people together when 10 people here in the room where is the where is it >> in the room. >> It's in you and in you and in you and in you. >> It's inside every single one of us through the unity of 10 yen that become one. And when you connect your conscious heart to what's inside your heart, then it's says you've released me from being in this go. If a person is malleed, he takes care of people. He's a person who's a and he's a person who's learned in so then that is guaranteed but it's not a whisper. It's something that you have to put like we said in the beginning means we said by carbon when we started was what when it says a person says it doesn't mean he's screaming says the it means that he really means it it's important let the name of let it be blessed let it be blessed let it go on forever ever let it be exalted. Let the be I want to make aes and now when I'm saying you are great and I'm declaring it to the world you get a when people dab in with a passion and a bren they're a answers your prayers you don't have to go anywhere you just have to d the reason we need to go to is because usually they know how to dab because they've spent the time training. They've spent the time in training means to say they spent the time um internalizing. Is that what we're doing? >> No, we're making ours they have such a hearts that your becomes their >> That's right. Yours becomes their now the Gimmorra says the tells a story he was the godladorish he was the god lador and then there was when he they needed rain he would take off his shoes and they would already start raining soak rabbitson asked her husband you have to go d and you work so hard. He just takes off his shoes and it already starts raining. He's bigger than you. So he said the following. Take a look at says who I am the god. I have to take care of he's don't forget he's the one who saved he went in to they snuck him in inside by enemy lines. I mean he saved the yavnalis he saved he saved a few different people. He did was which nobody else could do. He lived 120 years. He says, "I'm a sar. I am a minister. When I need to go see the king, the king has to be ready to see me. I have to be ready to see the king. I have to make an appointment." He's the janitor. He's got the keys. He walks in wherever he wants. He sees the king all the time. So, he gets to whisper in the king's ear. I because of my position can't see the king always. his relationship with the is he's the janitor. He's the one that just goes in to seize the king whenever he wants. I don't remember the saying in this safer too many times. You want to know what's he was such a big sadic and he was such a big was to be he should have been one of those which are one in this world. Some are for this world and the next world. for what he did in Butra says he took nothing from this world. He had buxer that's all he ate. So he said even though might say I should get I'm being midin and I'm going to not take the midin. that gave him an entree to the abisher and said you see the mid said I should have gotten but I'm not getting so we're not going to listen to the den. So when this guy who's sick, who needs a raff and the midin says he shouldn't get sick, shouldn't get healthy, let's not listen to the miden either. The same way you're not listening to the mid and I'm only getting because of I'm only getting I really should have gotten a lot more but I don't want that. I also don't want you to listen to the den against somebody else. Let's see it inside. We just getting even though that might not He could say, "I also supposed to get more, but I'm not getting." So if we're not listening to the Den for me, let's not listen to the for him. I have a to ask for that. So therefore, just like I'm not getting it, therefore you should he was a and he was the prince. So he was he was in charge of he got the way you expect should get he doesn't have to go and do that because according to him everything was totally in that says the zeros You know when they say a person gets embarrassed and they don't answer what they're doing and then you go to them there's stories in clusro where people who couldn't have children people didn't have shidim people who had sorus and they got a bra from someone who had just gotten embarrassed someone who did not answer. What happened that gave that person who got embarrassed and didn't say anything the to give a it's our you know why because if the person said something to them which they shouldn't have they could have answered but they're being and even sometimes they're el they get embarrassed so den has nothing to say against them whatever Whatever they say they can push through and know >> even as a >> as a that's right as a power of prayer says the let's come back full circle was going down will not be misapp The way a person is humble and the person has a toe when the den says something and he has a that he can mitigate the he has a of a rabb that he ds together that can push through even when says you don't deserve it that's the Now we start safer. It's the safer of carbon. It's the safer of we just started now with the Mishkashem. So in the daven the phone don't have your phone on you. Very good. Put it away. Leave it alone. You're not there when you're on your phone. Dive into the aster. By the way, the putting away the phone before dvening is in itself and it gives you the you should have your be just that act says when you want to be like a mench says first thing is you go to the bathroom you get all the schmutz out and then you put on your fillin you wash your hands you put on your fillin and then you say krishna and you davin putting away the phone for some people is like putting it putting away the bathroom. It's like putting it in it's like getting rid of the schmutz. It's getting rid of the things that you don't have to have, especially when you're in a mish. You don't need to text a person. You don't need this. You're talking to the we busy on your phone. Put it away. That itself is a that you should be should be answered. for the man said to yadir. said,
