Okay, one more time. Okay. Tonight is sponsored first of all anonymously format great grandfather of Rabis K and great greatgrandfather of Yil K. was born in Primishlan Poland and settled in Usa >> USA after World War I and for Whitesner who's here bash and takes care of us and puts us on Torah anytime Leela Nishmas his mother the 10th yards at Karen Civyas Usher levi and in honor of the magir tonight zer is parv letter t it's page shin Shin pay it's actually the last piece in this >> paral shined I also want to remind before we even start that next week is our annual zerosim shin shirum suda which we host in our house 55 mariner away start time is a little bit earlier than now start time basham will be next week at 7:30 just Just in time for dinner for Suda and it's being sponsored by KC Grill and we're making a one of the ini. It's either mak or a des. I'm not sure which we're going to be making. We'll see if we which one we if we finish makam by by Thursday. that I'm inviting the godam come hungry and we'll have the zerimar in the house with some music and some and [snorts] a okay letter >> [clears throat] >> A person shouldn't bring himself to a probably one of the reasons the Zerosim discusses this is because in this week's par was brutally tested day in and day out by Asia Pifar Nebuch a 17year-old boy and and he was he got thrown into jail and then he had that was that etc. You certainly shouldn't ask for it. How do I know that? Israel. He asked for and it didn't work out well. He was the story goes says the Gar as follows. Imagine that they should say let's not think for a minute that David wanted recognition. It wasn't a pursuit of Shalom David right who was as we'll soon see wanted to be as kazal say he wanted to be the me of the gimmel of ice plus him the abisher the meava of this world the the aish Who was in Yiddish? You say sometimes it only works in Yiddish. How do you say that in English? I don't know. >> What? >> Behaves. >> No. >> The show. >> He runs the show. >> Leads. Okay. Wow. >> He doesn't know which >> volume three. Wow. David, you everything you do, David. You do. There's nothing you don't do. May. So the gimar says that David understood that he could be maki in the meov had done three and's job and opportunity was due number four and when would refer to the aster as there would be a tikun in the belt that that thanks to the plus the would have in this world let's not forget and we're soon going to see that maybe in this year and also in the marsh that David Msiach is known as Messiah Ben David he wasn't David Amel's son he wouldn't be unless he lived forever he wouldn't be around now right so it must be he's when when the Messiah will come it'll be directly connected to David Hamel means it's going to be the the influence and it's going to be Ben. So and Messiah whose job is to be meliach and be the in the world will fix the world up in a way that it's supposed to bear as we say from this has to be that what was started in gets finished off and that has to happen through Mashiach and David is the one who his brings that and David felt that if he could be what he has to be then we could say we could say as well and why don't they say it says the told them in who They were tested by me. You, however, you have not been tested by me. You haven't been tested. So said, okay, so test me. I'm like it says as it says in me give me a test what's bad idea that that's what the says that's what says you know the story [snorts] I'll tell you what I'll do says I will test you and I'll do you a I'll do something for you which I didn't do for them. I didn't let them know beforehand they were getting tested. I didn't give them a heads up. You should know you're being tested. I didn't tell that to them. I'm going to let you know you're going to be tested and I'll even tell you which you're going to be tested in. You're going to be tested in Do you know who that was? Exactly. And unfortunately right the says but for his madga he's held accountable and because of that he had much more sorus as he always does he asks the clearest and most basic simple cashes the kashes that maybe we should also ask which we always say he didn't get a patch for asking the question. Didn't get a patch. You're allowed to ask a problem. You're allowed to look what he asked. First of all, what is this asking? So, we already answered this a little bit. We said because wanted the but was still alive. Why doesn't say of anyone until after the Rashi wrote by me right that's like it says over there that what it says not exactly that's the that's the note it says it doesn't say and One place it does say was already blind and he was stuck to his house and therefore he was considered you could say and therefore says the maybe they will that they won't how do you know maybe they will after you die they'll say too now you want they should say when you're alive. That's unreasonable. Nobody gets that. You're still alive. Say one of the reasons is because you never know what's going to happen until the end. [clears throat] Can only put his name on a person after his job is done. Till then, remember I told you a few weeks ago when it says that he went to measure the people, right? So, we said that Maral explains one of the things he did was not just to measure where they were for to also to measure to see their accomplishments in life. what they were able to get to when they left it's only after a person passes away while he's still alive still in the middle. So what's going on Frank the Zerosim accashes strong questions says the zerosion he's going to he's going to put a few different down to answer this question what did want me and not others why did he want it that seems to be how did he know that if it wouldn't be it's not going to be what's going This is back when he was when he was going when he was fearful of Asov asks the medish. You're invoking the help of Aram and you know you also have a brother Asov. He also has a Tata named Yitzk. He also has a za a how could you ask for the help of a and if at the end of the day as has the same lineage the as could do the same thing let's take a look at the over here the zerosion quotes the lotion of the zylo explains the zerosim says the medishim You want the go in their path. Do like they do. Show that you are a child of Abra and show that you are and you get what they got and you get the good. says what are you scared that as also excuse me as doesn't look like as not acting like As doesn't get that continues which are we referring to means to say he gets with all that he does and he gets help from all of his Torah. This is where the Zerim ends in his quote of the Medish. But the Medish continues and it's important that we see all of it says the Medish. I want to ask you a question says Rahuna between and who is closer to David? Do you know who was father? >> He was a he was not a good person. He was one generation closer and still your father is not. Your father is why. If [snorts] you follow the and you can be identified like the look there's a kid of there's a kid of there's a kid of he looks like the he looks like the father. So you get the you get you get the reward. It could be a father and a son. It could be a father and a son but the father I'm sorry like you said mayor of he has no he's a mel he comes from but he doesn't get the of the says the let's continue who in his life he was going through His you know who was >> who was No, we don't learn. How should you know? Right. Who is his schol? >> And what did he want to do to him? Kill him. >> Ash. Yeah, that's where the name came from. Mendel. [laughter] He was the of all. That's right. He wanted to kill him. His own children wanted to kill him. had from all listen I don't know if the had a chance yet I owe you a book I don't know if the had a chance but the but in the in the in the safer that we put out over there the moral and over there writes it somewhere I heard from my rebby that David is unique more than any other person on this planet. How did David get his 70 years? >> From how we talked about it, right? How so? Says he asked the can I give a present? He said, yeah. He saw this that was only supposed to live three years. Three hours. Three hours. Three hours. We said why 3 hours in a minute? He's only supposed to live for 3 hours. And he said, "But can I give him 70 years?" said yes. So he gave him why >> different all the different we'll talk about. We're going to touch upon that. So there's 70. Every person in the world comes from Adam Harish and doesn't subtract years from Adam Harish. He their lives everybody they all come from one correct. Does lose any years by the fact that they're born? Of course not. That means that they're melik's years come by subtracting 70 years from do you know what that means to say that Adam's thousand years is lived through and David that puts him in a position of autif with he's a shiff because together we live a thousand years that allows him to have a status of being influential in the world to be as influential as Marishan started us off and the of will bring us all [screaming] back together. That's the direct from everybody has this is this is special that's [clears throat] had that opportunity. [snorts] So if David Amel is going to say if we're going to say that the is identified to us as a that's a in which is above and beyond in a certain sense what the right the was of the lived years why was it three hours because if wouldn't have lived if I wouldn't have sinned. He was as the garamar in Sanhedrin says in one of the three Sanhedrin da that you brought me I think it's in one of the volumes it says there that he was created and and I think it was the seventh or the eighth hour on shishi and three hours later he sinned so had he not sinned could have come down for three hours I don't need any more than that those would be the three hours of but because he Marishian realized he saw this could help and fix up what needed to be fixed up through his through so therefore he said can I give him my life so he should be able to have years but as such then he was already [clears throat] this is of who and that's why is so responsible when we talk to the aister >> [clears throat] >> We go ahead and we praise the with many. We're all saying his words. Okay, we're saying his words, his taught us went into and saw that as a prototype of how they're supposed to dive into the I'll come upon him. So what did he want? Give me a few minutes. So wanted to fix up while he was still alive. He wanted that his lifetime already should be connected to that. Like the he wanted to have that that what did the tun what did they accomplish? We say it so many times. We go through this. You saw it again and again and the three of them were messing those mid that was whether it was whether it was Guru whether it was Teres. three of them fixed up like the writes that looks like. So they're one aspect of tikk that's one aspect of tikk of of of the of and it needed to be finished off through to bring they brought the and had to bring the malus to the world to unite the world with the kayakus that's what David had to do they had to create the people from them came a nation So first you needed an and once you had an now we can have a melis the basis there should be people that have it shouldn't be that everybody's thinking which is what happened to humanity after that's what happened to people only bad like the says in fixed their they conquered their hor they were able to have the essence of good and that's what they gave usim those are all the good meas so now we have a folk now we have a nation so we need a king have a king will be in to lead and be gathered together these people if he won't be while he's alive he won't be able if we don't say that for he had to have the done while he was still alive he had to bring this tikun to the world different than everyone else it wouldn't be in this afterwards when he saw him being run after when he was being pursued by his enemies. So he saw how am I ever going to be? My share wants to kill me. This one wants to kill me. Everybody's out to get me. When am I ever going to have that? When am I need to help? I need also to be able to be associated with those. So fine, but you need to be tested. Why? That's the next piece. Why does he have to have an if he's and he's why is that not good enough? If is so righteous says the medishi I've given to your to those who fear you n means amast like on a ship nan rising you up bring them up [snorts] and exalt them like a what a sail >> a sail >> a sail that you rise up on them right that rises up. If a person says it's not fair plays favorites plays favorites how [snorts] writes he does there's no din in the world less does what he wants people have complaints not Thanks to the nianness of the you can say to them um what would you be like if you waited a hundred years to have a kid and then the aisher said 37 years later bring him up onto the what would You do right. He said gave him a kid after 100 years old and then afterwards he said bring him as a car. Whatever gets he deserves it. The mid has nothing to say. You want to know what misinus do? Misus gives justification that all the good that a person gets, he deserves it. And by the way, I hope to get to it. And if I don't, I'll tell you right now that thanks to theness of a we, his children, are benefactors of his. We can tap into his because what he did, he didn't just do for himself. It was eternal. That's why it says on this page towards the end [snorts] has the last words for his children that us as his children said what do you mean my didn't he was didn't he pacify the didn't he do what he needed to do I'm his child as their children and their grandchildren we have the to be able to get their so this is what David of course wanted and that's what Dishar said you You want us to say I have to have it that the mid shouldn't have a t on you. And the only way the won't have a t on you is if you are like the will test you and [clears throat] then you'll be able to prove that even though you were tested. What does a test do to a person? How does a test make that a person should be able to be to that he should get extra so what do you mean because he did so much but the word ness which means miracle and the word has the same shish why why do they have the same shyish why is ness and the same shyish the ter is says the maral the terod is because what is an asan? Anyh tests a person. What would the person naturally do under these circumstances? What would a normal person do if they said your kid or even if a person had any type of like in this week's par whereas is testing him and she does anything he's a young kid he's 17 years old right so you could expect that a regular person will do what's natural do you know what an does it gives the person the opportunity to rise above their nature. I'm not going to be a natural person. I'm not going to do what my ruts my body rots and wants. My body says this, I'm not doing it. If I have to run out and embarrass myself. So if a person is that means that his nature didn't hold him back, that he beat nature. You beat nature, then you can be a bound nest so you can have a nest happen to you. So you haven't bound yourself by nature. You brought yourself above nature. Well said. You brought yourself above nature so you're not limited to nature. When the hasho went to fight against the ivanim, this imperial army of Greeks, they were welltrained. Who were the people? All those kahanim, a bunch of rabbis with long beards and fracks, you know that they had no idea what they were doing. But they went to fight five people to fight against a huge army. How the is there's no choice, right? That's the word. We have to do it. last we have to do it. So they went and did what's normal. So what did the do for him things which are nishnal? You rose above the so therefore doesn't hold you back. And that's by the way every single one of us when we get tested in our and our when how but look at the things that look so bleak. How am I supposed to make? How am I supposed to get my kids married? How much this there's in the world. He's going to take care of us. Don't worry about it. And you're ry Ry means you're calm. You're calm. So that means but my nature is I have anxiety. Don't have anxiety. Don't don't because if you're you don't have to have anxiety. If you're bat then you know the is going to take care of you. That means you're breaking your nature. You're rising above your nature. You're rising above your nature. So the aishar sees that nature is not totally in you. You're a real Ben. You're really to the you did what they did. So therefore, you get that they had you get to be able to say because you look like them and you're acting like them each one of us says the we'll read it outside a little bit to finish off the piece. What does the lion mean? That the miden has means is adorned. What does it mean at first on top of the page on this is that we said the it's not fair. Why should you give them wealth? Why should you give them? Who says they deserve all these things? The Why did you see should be able to be mats in everything and Hashem should help him said why should I help him out he obviously there's tinyness on will become. What does kish mean? Everybody speaks Hebrew >> decoration. >> Decoration. That means usually like you prop it up. You make it look nice. The looks nice. You're decorating the mid asks, "What is the kish?" If a person's been a sign, you're m to the person. So you admit he did a good job. You admit that. But what does it mean? says the zerosimshin I'll tell it to you outside the zahara is known as a mazic basra says when you have a mazic and a niz one person who damages who has to move away the mazic or the niz >> who has to move away doesn't the mazic you have a sh or you have a dog you don't have a dog but if you did and it would could bite somebody Whose job is it you? He has to make sure that that your dog doesn't bite him and you have to make sure your dog doesn't bite him. the right he says over here but remembers sometimes normally you could tell the what are you doing this as she's going after him could say if I have an ass it's okay you're giving me an ass for a reason I'm not going to make the mazic move away I'll move away and the I'll be the one who moves away then then the mazic and he beats the mazic then the mazic doesn't look so bad anymore because then by the fact that the mazic was beaten so the mazic then was msukin I'll explain it needs two minutes of an introduction to explain >> whenu I'll explain what the garan shabas says when mobu went up to shayim to get the we've mentioned it here many times. What did the say? They wanted to hurt him. Says he got scared. I'm scared from he they're going to burn me. So he said, "Hold on to my cover and answer him." And then he had a whole discussion. Remember the gumar the gumar he said you have a you have you went to the the the the didn't know these didn't know this said did he say a good vert the whole the whole any time is was is for this vertb He said, "You know what? You know what the heard? They heard. They heard the they heard. That was it. Game over." Let me explain the the are being they don't have a to you have to mean say you have to not learn it's too cold outside to come some people didn't show up but look can I know we have a full room how many people came up came right you could have not come and you decided to come the fact that you decided and you fought and you came gives a person a casher to that even mal can't have It's [snorts] not like that just the fact that told them they heard the of they saw and heard they saw that was the they saw that Tyra didn't come from a buser says the Gimmor everybody became his friend and even the Malikovas gave him a present says the Garra. What present did he give him? He gave him the what the where do we know it doesn't say in the where do we know that from you know who taught it to him the taught it to him the teddy him that's what he got in when he went to get thera the became friends with the he became his friend so my uncle said the following. He said, this was his words. The devil is the enemy of the imperfect man. The perfect man, he's his friend. What does that mean? When you fight the Sahara and he beats you, he's your enemy because he beat you. But if you overcame and you beat him and you then is you were messing what you needed to he'll give you presents too. He was created to fight you but ultimately you were created to beat him like who beat the and then he went out and benched him. The devil the is the enemy of the imperfect man. But the perfect man then that's the that's the becomes adorned when a person's given a he might not be perfect but you overcome that unbelievable. So it was a it was like a you could have looked at something you didn't look at something. Somebody said something to you at work got you upset and you could have told him he's not your boss. He's a pipsqueak that works by you and you could tell him and gished wow you become a mar. Even the Sutton's happy with you because then you overcame. He'll try to get you the next minute, right? But you beat He'll say, "You beat me on this one, but I want to get you now." Because he wants to get you back cuz he never stops working. But for that moment was the mid now was adorned because look he was and the wants and even the wants. That's what is that's what and that's what the med that's lesson that we have the the the miracle and the was all about people who had the who took it upon themselves to be when there wasn't a when the enemy was down their neck but they said we had enough and from that came a that became a nest because why because they were o and brought They beat their nature and that brings the down into this world. That's what that's what did what happened to him by being the person who was he became over that's the and that's what we're from the that's what we get as being that and that energy to not be bound by our own nature natural self to have that to overcome our own self to be the should be able to bring upon us and be able to Israel mitzvah.
