Chanukah & the 25 Letters of Shema - The Vilna Gaon Inflames Your Soul For Chanukah

okay friends for this offering I have to say I wasn't sure whether I was even going to make Mar for this I wasn't even sure if I was going to speak about this but last night I had a kernel of an idea and then I came across something out of this world I wasn't sure how it would fit together so I said you know what I'll just share with you without making the source sheets cuz it takes time to make the source sheets and then it got really late it was after 12:00 and I said you know what if I don't make the source sheets I'm never going to remember all the details and this is too good to lose add-on so I uh I took um recording in progress so I took the uh I took the liberty to I make the source sheets it was very late at uh at night it was after 12:00 I'm not sure with where this is going to take us but we're going to learn now information that's you know beyond out of this world to say the least okay so here we go we're continuing this is going to be a she on Kana but it's also a Shear on we're in middle of learning um about K we're this sh is called Kana and the mystical power of Sha so are dedicated by our dear friend and family family here we go over the years friends we've set over Z that is quoted in the and it goes like this the eight days of after 24 days meaning in klave are connected to the words and then when the 25th day comes which is the words that's got that after 24 days in which is then the 25th day comes which is and then comes what does this mean did you know there are 24 letters in after 24 which is comes 25 then starts which is connected to how many letters are in letters wow we've said that over before okay we're we're not here today to learn that we this is just the introduction another thing we've learned before is the amazing comments of thear and that is thear says I the youth Abraham I want to reveal to you a secret which was revealed to me without a book and without a teacher I never saw it I never heard it why it's called Kana every Y is connected for to the miraculous events p p God jumped over our home but they rested what does it have to do with the miracle says I want to reveal to you something in the times of they wanted to attach themselves to Li but they couldn't they were running they were hiding they were fighting what do Kaz tell us that a person should do if they're not able if what should a person do if they're not able to learn T at least say sh at least say sh the 25 letters of that's the secret of understood it when he said and if's Name by saying it's like reading the whole because of the S they couldn't learn in they would their Battle Cry was sh and that's how they beat their enemy that's why it's called if it meant they rested on the 2 25th it should be called and don't say that would sound too strange they would they you would say very quickly and you'd get used to it very fast if it really meant they rested on the 25th it would be called but it's called they were victorious with the 25 letters of sh okay now we know the connection between the 25 letters of sh the Z says after comes the 25th then the 25 letters of shat that's Kana I want to share with you and develop this even further says something out of this world he says in the name of the the first five Le words is connected theem I'm sorry say that again the first five five words of is connected the five books of the got that the six words of corresponds to so you'll say but how do you connect with the word the word is 13 the the way the and are connected is through the 13 hermeneutical principles of exus the 13 that is to through the word so I'm thinking to myself that means and encapsulate the whole how many words in shma 25 how many words in how many excuse me words in how many letters in the PK of sha 25 how many letters in 24 do you think it's a coincidence that the gamar says they're four 49 Gates of wisdom of Tyra you think it's a coincidence it must be that somehow provides 25 and T provides 24 because sh is and is and that makes 49 so now the question is if that's the case what's the 50th cuz there only 49 letters in sha and Bar what would the 50th be so I'm thinking the 50th must be and also I'm looking I need some proof to this idea I never I mean we've been talking about we've been learning about the 50 sh since we started learning together I don't know 15 years ago we've been talking about the sh but never did it dawn on me until last night that maybe they're connected to the 25 letters of sh and the 24 letters of which to this sure enough I found that the gr himself says that the opening M ofum truma how much is truma why is it called truma say two out of a 100 which is 1 out of 50 because the of sh is 50 how the 42 letters and the the and the 49 letters so I'm thinking myself it's after 12:00 what is the over here right I mean the G is saying that is truma right when do you start saying sh when the K truma truma is two out of 100 which is 50 and they're 49 letters of shama but what's the 50th the gr says it's I said I need help over here sure enough the son of the G explains why does truma connected to Sha truma son that's why there's a long noon at the end the 50 we do it twice why what do you mean two out of 100 one out of 50 no we do it twice a day we do it twice a day 25 words uh 25 letters in sh 24 in that's 49 twice a day is 98 and with the ye is truma two out of 100 and I'm wondering ing okay what's the punch line so what's the which is the sh that's the kavana of M when we say sh when we say sh with the thought we would give up our life for hasem that's the Shon so I couldn't believe it I said maybe that's the reason why we know that Raba knew the shun andu didn't but now we're learning what's the Shon that's nees Rea gave up his life for Hashem he died giving up his life for Hashem so he knew the sh died naturally he didn't know the shun that's why RAB when he was being taken out to be killed what word was he saying saying is the with which one is they would give up their life kesem so therefore and I found in a journal last night he quotes this that the connection between sh and shum sh is the all 50 the 49 letters plus the and 25 letters of sha 24 of and the big nun at the end represents the shun so he brings over here that this is of the connection between and the which is the the of and this G who was greater than who when they were that we can't be and as they were raking his flesh with Combs of iron he was saying sh and this Tam said even now and he said my whole life life I was yearning to be what the he was the same way is so to speak the missing link between the is the he says certain things were revealed to reab not revealed to M like it says we've set over from V call us 50 by the way the of R is the that you can't learn unless you do it by the way then it would mean friends that if the secret and the essence of Kana sh there must be a connection between and the sh and indeed I saw in theer Pre and many say this idea you know 49 is the epitome of seven 7 time 7 49 is the seven is and 49 is the epitome of 7 it's 7 * 7 50 then is above s 50 is really eight the Shon is really eight seven to the max is so to speak 49 50 is8 the shun is Bina that's why Kana is eight [Music] days who had all this fits so beautifully with another grow we' said over many times the Mana had 22 goblets 11 buttons and nine flowers 22 11 and 9 22 + 11 is 33 + 9 is 42 plus the 7 branches is 49 those are the 49 Gates of wisdom but the composite of of the Mana itself is a sh that's why mosha couldn't understand the Mana says the right mosha had a hard time with the Mana was but with the man because he didn't know the sh so that means the sh friends according to the is mes a connection to to and indeed that is why the of the is so integral to the miracle OFA the speaks about why Kaneka we celebrate spiritually and perm we celebrate physically and we all know in times of perm they wanted to kill us so we celebrate physically in the times of Kaneka they wanted to take away our religion so we celebrate spiritually but the B adds to this the Bak says the a in the times of Kaneka was they were they slackened off in the and therefore as a punishment God closed down theik therefore in order in order to gain the they had to be to go to war by the way does anybody know how many were there if I'm not mistaken say a total of 13 I I believe the malal says 13 I believe Rashi and also says that have to double check the M of the the Lan of the of the B help them through the and therefore the Y of is very connected to sh is it's therefore after 24 which is we come to 25 which is sh is and then is connected to the of these two days of the and the and the of the 13 which is the sh which friends the Shon is the Mana itself the Mana itself is the 50th gate of wisdom so these are some things to stir your soul a little bit about Kaneka and their connection to shma and the symbolism of Theif 25 letters of the first pk of sha and the 24 letters of say have a beautiful Chas we'll see you uh soon hopefully chabis the what
