that's already everybody's choice so you could catch up and now we'll continue further vegan foreign when it comes to rosh hashanah there's the famous expression of ghazal it's a mishnah as he says in footnote 13. the mitzvah of the day is shaiphur and ghazal tell us that in the basamiktur you know they would blast trumpets and they would blow shaiphur but rishishana the trumpets took second seat they were secondary to the chauffeur the schaefer was myrik the main voice is the main blast was shot for because the mitzvah of the day is shafer but this is a very powerful expression mitsubishi this is the mitzvah of the day and we understand it what's the unique mitzvah of rishoshan we have a lot of things we do to shoshannah we eat we dip an apple and honey you eat semanam of course we bless each other with loshana taverty kasib that's every yamtiff but what's the uniqueness of rosh hashanah mitzvahs that's rosh hashanah no other day do we have such a mitzvah of blowing and hearing the sheriff just this paragraph we could talk about for a few months the previous the previous urim the previous parts of the surcha we discussed that rosh hashanah includes three basic dimensions the first dimension he spoke about was coronate me rosh hashanah is the day of coronation hashem asks at betsy he requests and he he pleads and asks every drew please coronate me the second dimension is truva it's one of those series it's one of it's the first of the ten days of triva there's ten days we say it's the second aspect of rashan it's not the first because as we explained the gemara says ten days between rosh hashanah in other words there's an aspect of rosh hashanah that is excluded from the unit of 10 days it stands on its own what is that the uniqueness of so this is the uniqueness of where it stands alone outside of it being one of us and there the focus is coronating hashem's king and that's why if you look in all the feliz the prayers of rosh hashanah in sir you'll see that the nusa the text of what do they focus on in the tv they focus on coronating hashem this so that's the first thing of rosh hashanah the second thing of rosh hashanah is true it's a day of truth the third element of rosh hashanah is as in every other day of the year it's a day filled with mitzvahs and chuva repeats all the mitzvahs that we failed to implement fully other mitzvahs i was supposed to things behaviors that i missed out because of my own limited tools or errors or actually behaviors that betray who i really am and what i really want and what my god wants for me what are these three things we explained you remember so very briefly again i'm not going to elaborate now at length because this is the previous class but it's good to listen to very important very fundamental in life very fundamentally the first layer of yiddishkait is the relationship that's articulated and expressed and implemented and facilitated through terra and mitzvahs learning territory and celebrating mitzvos the construct that the reborn shalom gives every jew that creates a connection because this is his will this is his will but that's not the only level of relationship there's something deeper even if i fail to do the mitzvah i failed the will i betrayed the will which is also which is the divine wills it's divine blueprint of life it's really betraying life we don't say you're lost no there's always repair because there's a deeper connection that's there and that's why i'm perturbed that's the concept of a vulture what's the kind of a what kind of wheelchair is i don't have serenity until i return because it's like two friends who fell out they had a fallout but they were real friends so the fallout doesn't last forever at least let's hope so the friendship begs of them and animates them and inspires them to find ways to repair the relationship you know we spoke about a marriage at length if it's a good marriage you don't say okay you know you i feel that you really did something wrong or you said something wrong it was really hurtful that's it i don't know you anymore no the key is repair that's what truth is and that shows that there's a deeper connection it's not just the connection is because i did your will i didn't do your will that's it you're off the list that there's no such thing and truva is more powerful because it could fix it could fix them it could fix that which is missing as a result of the the the betrayal the misunderstanding the mistakes the errors whether it was willingly whether it was unwillingly and as the rambam tells us even when a jew sins willingly it's really unwillingly that's what the rambam tells us in his own unique words hilhes gerish and perig bashaf because my real will is to do the mitzvah as i explained yesterday that's why you can force somebody halachically besdon sanhedrin best be best could force somebody to give a get if allows it i the titus says it has to be willingly because he really wants to do it as long as he says i want to even though he doesn't mean it we say he does mean it on a deeper subconscious level in the words of the rambam that since he's me israel he's a jew royzu that's a deeper relationship and that's what drives the dude that's what drives the jew to do trevor i'm not wholesome when i'm isolated i'm not wholesome when i'm alone i'm not wholesome when i'm disconnected it's bothering me why is it bothering me if the whole relationship was based on mitzvahs based on a contract and i i'm not in the contract or you're not in the country so let's just part ways and move on and the answer is i can't part ways because we're connected and therefore i come back and that's the incredible power of truva that's the second layer the higher layer but that episode there's something deeper because truva ultimately means i'm repeating mistakes in other words there was a mistake there was a disconnection and therefore i could repair it that exists on a level where there could be a disconnection and therefore we have to repair it through truva but there's a deeper dimension where there's never a disconnection because there's an essential oneness that could never be obliterated hey you don't have to do truva true i have to do trivia means returning the place of me that got lost the place of me that went into wilderness the place of me that got portrayed but the part of me that is completely one with the divine over there there can't be a breakdown there can't be alienation because there can't be alienation so therefore there's no truva not because truva is not significant because it's a space in the relationship we say in the shyness of success about the jewish people means they're completely one it's the word yachid they're one dalton said a jew doesn't want and can't be separated from the divine and therefore this is even deeper than truva the relationship through mitzvos is a relationship to your will the relationship of truth is a relationship to the author of the will who could forgive the relationship of a relationship with atmos with your essence with your core at our core we're one we're not just connected by the hip we're completely one that's what hashem tells the jew i want you to become cognizant of this i want you to choose me one second you want me to choose why do you want me to choose you if hashem is not our melo we don't have obligations to him mitzvos and truva only come after he's a mother if i'm not married if i don't have a suva if i don't have obligations i can't betray you i can only betray somebody that i have an obligation to if i don't have a contract if i'm hired by you then if i don't show up it's a problem but if i'm not hired i don't have a connection to you the relationship always presupposes any type of betrayal any type of mistake we speak about a social contract there's obligations that one human have to another human but that priest that comes after a foundation a paradigm and that is we're connected there's some obligation after you so you say you fail to do mitzvahs you have to do trivia you could do truva got it but where does it even come from it's all based in a relationship that relationship hashem says you have to establish so the dream would say i what if i don't want what if hashem doesn't want what if i don't want this is already from the essence this is deeper than everything this is because we're really one there's no reality in which the jew is not a jew and hashem is not connected to the jew and the jew is not connected there's no world like that there's no reality like that it's the most essential truth of reality of nature and beyond nature if rosh hashanah's mitzvah is scheifer so all these three things are expressed in the shaifer now you would think that this says that this is an indian of satire kabbalah it says like everything in plymouth it's my rumors it's intimidated also with nigla nigla means in the revealed part of the rambam wrote a say for yada kazakh the 13th swarm in which she categorized all of jewish law one of his sections is 83 sections of allah 13 books 83 sections see firsthand is a decree of the torah the turtle doesn't give a reason this is blossom says but i want to tell you there's a hint there's a rammus there's something that the toad is trying to hint at us and that is he continues at length that the shaifer reminds us to wake up from our slumber wake up just like an alarm clock a trumpet blasting a schaefer ramsar and blasting wakes up those who are sleepy those who are in a deep sleep those who are in a slumber and tells them where are you am i the person am i supposed to become am i living the life i'm capable of living can i go away from all that which is toxic and destructive the rambam elaborates in his own language and the bottom line is i don't understand this explanation of this symbol of that amber should have put into the laws of shaffer not to the laws of repentance we have a precedent a second a second a second situation where the ram does something similar and that is when it comes to the laws of mikvah in the voice and the laws of mick for the end the ram says as follows even though the concept of mikv again it's a decree of the torah what does it accomplish what's the accomplishment of me a man or a woman a child going into the mic of immersing themselves in this ritual mick with this ritual pool of water that's constructed according to the the natural spring obviously the best mikvah a living spring or a cistern in which there was rain water natural water where you go into the mix or the various methods through which we build a mikvah so a person goes into the mikvah and they experience cleansing and we know how powerful a mikveh is as one of the hasidic masters said a non-jew who wants to convert so there's the various process of course if he's male there's the concept of a bris there's accepting the mitzvos what's the makhabapatis what's the bottom line what really accomplishes it he or she goes to the mikvah and they emerge a jew so imagine the power of a mikvah to turn a non-jew into a jew he said what can then accomplish for somebody who's already a jew in terms of increasing holiness and that's why by the capitalist by the khasid going to the mikvah had profound significance so the rambam says the reason for this is the terror doesn't give a reason it's a decree of the torah but nonetheless there's a remus there's a symbol and the symbol is that mikvah represents water that cleanses me because one must cleanse their soul from the toxicity of the impurity that may become attached to it and how do i do that i go in i submerge myself in the waters of pure wisdom we did the rambam put this idea in hilachus macquarie it's not in even though he's talking about shruva cleansing my soul but it belongs in the laws of mikvah because he's explaining mikvah he's explaining the symbol of mikvah when it comes to shayfri should have done the same thing in the laws of shaifer he should have included this symbol of blowing shauffer the rem is the hint the symbol the illusions of the illusions of blowing schaefer what does it represent just like in hills macquarie's he doesn't put it in his troop he puts in lukas mcvice nonetheless when it comes to schaefer you could read through all of ilka shayfriend he'll give you all of the laws about blowing and listening to the shaykh from rosh hashanah but he won't tell you the reason the symbol of it when you learn hil khashuva the laws of repentance which is actually precedes ultrasound from the rambo sofa is in them and he'll just troubles and mother the first say for jeff was in the third when you learned suddenly over there he says by the way even though chauffeur is only is this is a very very powerful question for if you understand the meticulousness of the rambam the order that the rambam was so attentive to the meticulous categorization skills of the rambam this comes this really it's it's conspicuous as something that's very enigmatic somebody who takes who you're learning you're looking one second you're giving me a whole shirt and schaefer but not in hill another question i want you to say before me verses of kingship and memory on rosh hashanah known as malchez in order to make me your king to coronate me as your king and how do you do it through a shaifer haste so we have a clear gemara where our sages say clearly that through blowing the shaffer we accomplish the coronation of hashem like he says in seventeen kipshat halashan that's that's the literal interpretation of the words of the gomorrah bashoffer how do you accomplish the coronation of a chanter ask still above us if this is the case why does the rambam and hill khashuva say that the one symbol shaiphur is a decree of the turd there's no reason this torah doesn't give a reason but the symbol of it is trueva why doesn't the rambam also say what khazal say clearly about when they coronated kings they would blow shaiphras rab saudi ghan writes this by the way the first reason he gives ten reasons for blowing the scheifer 10 explanations which of course are all true but the first reason is when you coronate a king you know they would blast trumpets and blow horns to represent the inspiration as the king would parade in the procession in which he would be coronated or she the queen would be coronated or however you explain the connection of sheiffer to coronation but clearly that's what the gemara says that making hashem king happens through shaifer the rambam ignores that he doesn't even mention it he should say schaefer is a decree of toyota the toy doesn't say a reason but there's various symbols one is trevor waking you up and another one is coronating god that's actually what says clearly in the mother that doesn't even mention that kevin will be able to understand this perhaps in shayfris and industry three dimensions and yeshiva language there's three dimensions three aspects of shaft the first aspect of chauffeur is it's a mitzvah the second aspect of chauffeur is a different component the third aspect of shayfri is reflective of the three aspects of the relationship that every jew has with hashem the three aspects that come out on rosh hashanah the first element of shaifer is the mitzvah and the mitzvah has many details many laws many intricate and this is what the rambam enumerates as one of the 613 mitzvahs is a mitzvah to hear the shayfir rosh hashanah actually and where does the rambam put in this aspect of shaifer in the laws of shaifer the laws of each subject are dedicated to articulate and expound and explain and elucidate the halachas of that mitzvah so when hil schweifer the rambam taught us about the first aspect the first dimension of which is the mitzvah based is a second dimension has another element and it hints to the concept of triva welcome trevor transcends all the mitzvahs that's why he could fix them wow the first element of shayfi is a mitzvah this belongs in cypher but there's something else in shaifer the mitzvah of chauffeur includes it alludes to biremas remez is it alludes to it it's symbolic it's hinted it's almost like a secret of it it's a remis it alludes to something that's even higher than mitzvos and that's truva schaefer represents truva which transcends all the mitzvahs it it touches a deeper level of connection a deeper level of relationship where repair is always possible even when there was alienation misunderstanding and even betrayal this doesn't put into the laws of shaifer he puts it into the laws of truth because in the laws of shayford he's addressing this shayfer as a mitzvah with all of the laws connected to it transcends all the mitzvahs trivia touches a deeper rung a deeper dimension of the relationship and this is the rem is of shaifer it's not the mitzvah of shaifer it's a remas aramis is something that's hinted to and schaefer that's how the rambam begins his articulation of the words in he says even though it's ki for xavier is a cause of meaning it's a xavier it's a mitzvah it's a commandment of hashem but there's something deeper which is alluded to through scheifer it's hinted through in scheifer it's symbolized it's a reminiscent scheifer in other words the shaifer is my ram is the shaifer hints to something which transcends itself that's what adamas is what's a remis there's an expression our sages say dai la a wise person a hint is enough is enough sometimes there's something i don't want to articulate in words maybe it's very sensitive maybe it could be offensive maybe it's inappropriate so right so there's a wink of an eye there's a gaze that i look and somebody who gets me understands me right sometimes it's a gesture sometimes it's the way i move my finger aramis means it's something that either i don't want to or i can't even articulate in letters the rebbe says sometimes there's something you don't have words for it so you give a hint the hint could be with your eyes with your facial expressions a movement of your body a certain gesture this is what's called a remas and akhachem picks up the remus there are certain things i can't articulate even if it even even if it is appropriate but it's just it's deeper it's deeper than that yeah somebody's speaking and they start crying just say what you want to say and the answer is the tears are capturing something that i can't say somebody starts smiling we give our facial expressions of smile what does that rep why are you smiling say what you want to say and the answer is there's something that i can't say in words the words are not going to contain it that's why we invent different languages beyond words which are incredible we have something called prose and there's something called poetry and there's something called music and then there's the sound of silence that's also a sound there's the sound of a remus it's a hint it's something that can't be clearly articulated in words it says the rambam the kia shaifa shayfer has a remus it has something that it alludes to that's deeper than the mitzvah and that's the truva and shruva goes into a deeper space because what is true true that touches truva accentuates truva embodies truva represents the ability of repair which always exists that's the second element of sheif and now we come to the third gimo affects the coronation this is there's a third element in schaefer it affects the coronation this is something that's completely beyond the mitzvah of shaifer it can't even be articulated in arames in a hint because even a hint represents expression articulation manifestation tamil comes from the deepest core the essence that can't be articulated even as a hint so there's three levels there's the level of the mitzvah that's the level of truva that's ilhastruva that's why rama puts it in and that's why it's a remas there's the deepest element of shayfridam doesn't even say it he doesn't it's not that he doesn't say it because it doesn't exist he doesn't say it because it can't be said because that which is said is already the way the relationship is being captured in a more confined way and therefore it relates to a more external aspect of self schaefer tunes in to what he calls here the bitter atomy of etzeman the most essential core at the quintessence of the soul that is aligned and completely one with the infinite in the deepest deepest core transcending every level of manifestation which means there is the way the self is articulated how is it articulated in a very conscious way does the way the self is articulated in more subtle and hidden ways but there's the way the self is completely can't be articulated because if it's articulated it's not that level of self this is called atmos mitzvahs relates to a very conscious relationship that requires my behavior and the way i live truva represents a deeper level of the relationship in which there is an essential a deeper connection that we can always fall back on and therefore repair the sins as god says even if we go back to the beginning because there's no mitzvas if i'm not your melech and there's no truth if i'm not your mother there's nothing to repair again if there's no contract there's no obligations nothing to repair so why should we go into this relationship initially don't make me a king and i won't be obligated to do anything don't make me a king and you won't be obligated i won't make you my king god says no make me my k make me make me make me your king because this is your most essential reality a jew without tamil i'm not i my eye is inside my eye is divine this you can't articulate you can't even articulate with aramis because this doesn't relate to anything that's manifested in a revealed way and confined this goes to the core of core which is defies any articulation defies any finite expression and manifestation this is the table alaikum of shayfa so the three aspects of rosh hashanah are expressed in the mitzvah of shayfi because that's the mitzvah of the day the mitzvah for why because this is something that can't be articulated in words the absence of the absence of him not mentioning it is the deepest way in which he mentions it sometimes silence is the most eloquent expression of what you want to say the way to express that chauffeur is can only be through silence through the absence of expression because any form of expression is going to compromise what we want to say what the message is see if hey second column 1147 page 1147 now we'll understand something special and that is before we blow the shaffer the com the the custom so many communities is to recite a psalm a chapter in psalms and to tehillah chapter 47 capital zion which begins with the passage and there we have aposic if may he choose for us our inheritance the pride of jacob which he loves eternally why do we say this capital to hillary well we mentioned the shaifa there allah allah hashem but there's also this passage he chooses foreign this is a very intense paragraph what does real choice mean your choices we all make choices but there's something called free choice free from any influence because that's what choices choice is that my choice is not coming because of any influence including reasons that may compel me or persuade me or influence me to choose this choice because then it's not a choice then it's essentially being compelled to do it for a rational person a rational explanation is the most powerful form of coercion what coercion means with chains and a stick that's physical coercion heaven forbid nobody should be caused that way but if i'm a rational person if i'm an intelligent person then persuading me is much deeper than anything else so it's fine but it's not called choice is there a concept of choice real choice free choice free choice means that i'm completely uninhibited there's no side reasons and explanations so why am i choosing it the answer is if there's a why it's the why that's compelling me to choose it so real choice comes from the completely free space within the chooser who's choosing it so why is he choosing it if there's a reason which is causing me to choose x y and z so it's the reason that's compelling me to choose it this is not called pre-recovers it's not called free choice now this is a very deep concept that the laboratory is articulating here because he's really questioning does choice even really exist and it's a very powerful question because everything it seems that i choose in life isn't it really i have no choice because this is how my brain works this is how my body works this these are my genes or even if it's not nature it's nurture this is the type of home i grew up in these are the types of relationships i developed these are the neural pathways that i cultivated in my brain can i transcend them this is the highway i've been traveling down my entire life this is the one road i know i don't know any other roads now who's responsible for those neural pathways and when are they formed are they formed consciously deliberately volitionally no so i know we have choices but aren't those choices within a very limited orbit and even those choices within the limited orbit why do i choose vanilla ice cream when you chose chocolate ice cream was that a choice yeah i mean technically it was a choice i could have chosen chocolate but why didn't i choose chocolate why did i choose vanilla or why did i choose a mixture of vanilla and chocolate so you'll talk about my taste buds maybe it triggers memories when i was six years old and my mother bought me vanilla ice cream there was no chocolate ice cream in the store well in our ice cream store there was chocolate ice cream i'm just giving an example so the vanilla trigger something maybe i simply like vanilla more than chocolate so all the choices that we make besides that our choices are in such a limited orbit it seems they're always influenced and even if you're going to explain to me something if i get what you're saying and why did i get it and you didn't get it because my brain is a little different everybody has a unique brain a unique sequence of dna so again is it really my choice real choice that ebba says means essentially it's coming from a place that is the deepest deepest reflection of the eye that's what real choices that's what says there's a lot of choices we make in life but he says the real real choice means something in which i'm not influenced i'm not even influenced by myself meaning by my arguments which is a good way to be influenced nobody's arguing that a person should not be rational it's a good way i have two jobs i can choose one of them one makes more sense right people say this makes more sense you have two homes and you can purchase one of them but this makes more sense makes more sense for you for your spouse for your children for your future whatever it is so it's those factors those realities those motifs those logical ideas that decided where i should go and where i should move and what job i should accept just as like when i have choices what to eat for breakfast or what to eat for lunch or what to eat for dinner or what do they say on the airlines we knew that you could have chosen a different airline so we we thank you for choosing our airline so why did i choose this airline over the other airline very simple the ticket was cheaper and i would like to spend less money on my ticket pre-recovers means something else pre-recovers means something that comes from my deepest deepest self that's what it means i chose it in other words it's coming from a place which is undefined and therefore not subjected to be compelled by anything not even logic and therefore it could choose and i have to now discover who i am so really freedom of choice is freedom from choice it's basically the freedom that i don't have to choose because i find out who i really really am asks that ever why do we say before choice by definition is not being compelled but the if khalana is coming from the avadav shaifer so since the ifr is coming because of the void of kirsh it's not free choice if carlano means it's god's absolute choice not being compelled in any way or fashion but we are now about to do the mitzvah and that is going to affect it so it's not clear it's not a choice so he says light and free they can bear it up based on what we explained is firsthand they avoid the answer is you're right the mitzvah of shayfer the chuva of shoifer don't capture the deepest essence the place of free choice because free choice is only in that space which is completely free what do i mean free it's not defined it's not conditioned it's not even articulated in any way and therefore there's no logic or no force that can define it it comes from the deepest place which represents atmos god's undefined core where there is no quality that will compel it this way or other way because it doesn't have any definition anything that has a definition is already defined by being this and not being something else so already there's no choice because i'm going to be me i'm not going to be you my brain is my brain it's not your brain choice can only come from a space that's completely undefined so now the question is why would you choose this and the answer is if you're telling me why it's not choice if it's a place where y speaks to me it's not choice it's a place where i am defined by these particular qualities and therefore this logic defines me so if it defines me it's already not free choice free choice represents something that can exist only when i'm in touch with the i that is completely completely uninhibited completely not defined in any way so then why do i choose this and the answer is there's no why i choose this because this is i in the deepest sense free choice is another way of saying it's a little confusing it's not so much freedom of choice it's freedom from choice it's the freedom not to get confused with any other choices but to really appreciate the truth of what i am in its deepest deepest in the deepest deepest place beyond any description this is deep this deep stuff so he says all the aspects of shayfer if you don't understand this fully that's fine because it's not this is this takes a lot of learning a lot of reflection i'm also struggling with it just for the record so your teacher is also struggling with this but this is something we have to uh we have to go deeper into what what he what he's really saying here about kira um represents when when you say hashem chooses what's mean hashem chooses it's a it's a way of saying this is who hashem is this is who hashem is and not because it makes sense in other words my logic dictates it because it's a place that's deeper than logic it's not because my equations come to this conclusion it's beyond equations he created logic he created equations but in that deepest infinite undefined essence this this is who hashem is in in the deepest place that's called kirikovsas we're calling it choice because the point is what do we mean by choice not that he could have chosen something else why did he choose this it was random so that's also so then it's not a real choice i could have chosen this orange i chose that orange is a euphemism it's representing that the fact that the connection here the relationship is something that touches him in his so to speak in his deepest deepest deepest place so you'll say but why that's what choice means this this is who i am this is who i am why is it who i am that doesn't that question is is irrelevant so he says the aspect of mitzvah and suva and shayfer don't touch that core they already relate to god the way he articulated himself in a particular blueprint called mitzvahs chuva and therefore they access what's called gillum the manifestations of hashem it's the arousal of above that comes through the arousal from below the third aspect of shaifer is the bittle of atsam hanashama the core of the soul which touches hashem's core because they're one the place where jews are one with hashem and he chooses them because of himself this is called free choice he doesn't choose them because of something they did something they didn't do some reason some explanation he chooses them completely from himself free choice free choice means it's in the deepest deepest place of hashem he's not compelled by anything not compelled by logic logic is created he's not compelled by emotions emotions are created he's not compelled because of some grand eternal vast plan that he conceived because that itself you can ask why who needs this plan this goes back to the core of the core of the core of the core that's where real peer exists and over there this is who i am and the moment you go to that place you're a free person when i can go to that place i'm a completely free print there's no freedom anywhere else everywhere else i'm so to speak enslaved i'm not a free i'm not free over there i'm free and every person has that space here it's not that shayfer is the reason that creates the ifhar no soifer is a manifestation of that give her of that prayer scheifer is that outcry that comes from the essence of the jew where there is freedom which touches the essence of god which is freedom which means that they are essentially one indivisible undivided the relationship is unbreakable because the relationship is in the deepest place in hashem that's the ifr that's what shafer represents anybody understood what i said he finishes in hashem's essence there's no limitations that's why there could be choice there's no limitations we explained that rosh hashanah through kia schaefer we touch we access we connect we realign ourselves with atmos with the essence itself over there there's no calculations there's no limitations there's no restrictions there's no confinements that do exist later stages of the evolutionary process of spiritual energy called satellites over there there are various definitions but not an anatomy so therefore when there's a flow from atomus it's completely as he wants with no other bonus and calculations that he created hashem wants good the passage says when the face of the king is present it is life and what type of good physical good physical abundance hashem's essence is connected with the physical the physicality of the world the physicality of the body keeps the score of atmos we spoke about this a few times that atomos is connected especially with the physical reality with the physical world so he says we access atsumus over there there's no inhibitions that's why the focus on rosh hashanah is that it should be a flow of goodness in the physical world in a person's physical life without getting stuck without any blockages it only remains higher only remains in the spiritual self in the world of atoms there is oneness everything is holistic there's no divisions there's no spiritual yeah physical mouth physically yeah the world of atsumo's there's no part that's as strange there's no part that's alienated it includes everything so he says from atsumus comes a good year akhseva walks in good year in a sweet year in revealed goodness as he says at the end you see the the source rosh hashanah this is comes this is a transcript parts of what the rebbe said and the fabregan of rosh hashanah and then later success which in english is 1962. i'm going to take a few questions there's a story right you know the story during the napoleon war against russia so that sadiq knew that kia shaifer is going to decide in heaven what's going to happen as they say i think about the kashmir tzaman one of the great rabbis the great sadhikam he woke up very very early and he had a minion extremely early then they darven before sunrise and the first moments the first moment that they could they started to dive in the moment you can and they rushed and they came to korea saturday and kia schaefer because he wanted to blow early in order that his meditations by shauffer should be able to have napoleon win the war he came to shay for he picked up the sheriff and he said ah the lit the lit outsmarted me what did altered ever do he blew chauffeur before davening blue chevy before darwin ah the little so sometimes you blow shiver before davening but they say there have it is a regular here it is a time to blow schaefer a few questions question number one the free choice idea always fascinated me unless we're born in a bubble we have no choices we're all affected by our surroundings it's so hard to understand how we have free choice it seems like a jew by choice is actually when you're born a jew i have i i think i don't understand anything that you said today but it's okay that's good that's good i think it's better to it's i think it's better to come out saying i didn't understand a word you said than to say i understood everything you said and not understand you know when somebody says i don't understand that means i'm open maybe tomorrow i'll understand a little more maybe not when somebody says i understood oh that's when i'm afraid [Laughter] when somebody tells me i didn't understand i'm very happy somebody says i understood i'm like oy gevalt i give out because i didn't understand i don't think i understood any of this but it's okay i'm here to just sit with it bear witness to this truth on rosh hashanah even if i don't get it it's like when i don't understand some of my spouse's processes or some of my children's processes i don't understand of what they're go what i don't understand what they're going through but i'm just here to be here fully to be fully present to this experience of rosh hashanah yeah yeah go ahead okay um the structure of is two opposites are higher and lower dedicated to each other yeah and here we're saying that metal expresses itself because it's a much deeper relationship right so it's back to your question yesterday you remember your question yesterday yes why don't we talk about father and child why do we talk about mella right yes you remember yeah so on this there's actually a whole other sikh that complements this lakota sichu's volume 11 partial schmeichel that everyone spoke on pesach and that is that's why i said we should wait till tomorrow because in a way this is even deeper than a parent and a child represents something that's even deeper than a parent and a child in other words when we speak about a parent and a child we're often addressing a very natural phenomenon that exists in the human race it also exists in the animal kingdom the dedication and the loyalty of a mother to children of a father to children right we see it in the animal kingdom constantly and it's really an incredibly endearing aspect of nature when you see how mothers protect their cubs to the point of self-sacrifice did you ever see that clip of the elephant mother whose calf can't find enough milk in her mother and she becomes too weak it's a time of drought and she can't continue with the herd and the mother has to make a choice if she's going to separate from her calf or go with the herd you ever saw that clip anybody and she leaves everybody behind and she just stays with the baby who doesn't survive these are instincts that the abundant shalom put into parents to mothers and fathers to a certain degree and in some animals it's even more with fathers than mothers it depends every species but generally the mother but the point here is that this is the nature this is the nature of a father to be able to always to be able to to be connected to always be connected to a parent to a child and the connection is unconditional the connection is essential right so this is my nature this is nature even this even though it's amazing and it's powerful and it's incredible it's the concept of bonham atama doesn't capture the full idea of because what's the full idea of a child yeah even though i cannot he cannot uh he cannot not be my child he's always going to be my child but he can so to speak choose and say i don't want to have anything to do with you it's very painful i don't want to be connected to my parents he can so to speak unchoose the relationship not biologically but in terms of a social connection a conscious connection the child could say i'm not interested in this family a person can do that they can disown their parents parents can disown their children it's a very very painful thing extremely painful but he could say i don't want to go with you you want to move here i don't want to move i don't want to visit you i'm not coming for uh pesach i'm not coming for sukkas i'm not coming for have the thanksgiving right after matantora the rebbe said by itself jews had to choose god if they wanted to stay in egypt they could stay in egypt by the last gullos we say no jew will be left behind i've remembered freed it's one of remo freit's first songs why did he write these songs i heard him say in an interview recently with the shroolie besser from you know those interviews he just did an interview with me take two they're very interesting interviews did you guys watch the interview it's an interesting interview so you interviewed avraham freed i think a few weeks ago a few months ago so avraham afraid said that song was inspired because he would hear from the rebbe and the fabregas that the last ghoul and no jew will be left behind why in egypt you chose you want to be jewish fine if you don't want to be jewish don't come why by mashiach do we say no jew will be left behind because till mata and toyota we were like hashem's children after matantaya it's hashem's choice means it comes from a place that's even beyond nature a person could go against their nature you know that right people could go against their nature people do it constantly i can define my nature in a good way and also usually in a very destructive way here means something that i can't go against it because it's the i in the deepest deepest space you hear what i'm saying nature the parent can disown a child a child can assume a parent it's against nature it's against nature and it's painful and it's horrible and it should never happen but it happens by yitzias mitsrayam the jew could say i'm your child and you know what good luck dati that's why sherman says i am grateful that you came with me with tati on this journey on this hike through the desert for forty years after matan turner by matante says deeper than a father and a child says i don't want to go what you want what you want ultimately will not defy your eye that is even deeper than your nature it comes from a place in a person from a place of god that's deeper than nature it's the author of nature so it's deeper than nature and over there there's absolute because there's no definitions there's no inhibitions there's no way i am or i am not because that eye is free from any influence including the influence of definition so why does it choose something it's not a why because this is what it is and it can it can't be not that you say why can't it be not that because this is what it is in its deepest place the jew in his or her deepest place is hashem hashem is the jew that's that's what presents that relationship even beyond teva that's why he uses that metaphor somebody says shy for blowing takes a few minutes what is the most important aspect to think about and try to connect to is it right to ask for personal requests on rosh hashanah both spiritual and physical also you spoke about father and mother david said my father and mother have abandoned me but hashem took me in yeah so yeah so here is so here is the conclusion listen to this the scheifer sounds the ear here's a clear simple note free of nuance and design a divine decree has been fulfilled a connection has been made that's the mitzvah a more inner ear hears a sob of regret a sob that bespeaks the pain of distance and the yearning to return a yearning that yields a deeper connection and a more powerful bond that is the second aspect of scheifer but the soul of souls hears the staccato blasts of the coronation trumpet which annually lays the foundation of a person's relationship with god and the reis on the etre of creation atom to add some essence to essence pundit upon him face to face core to core with his absolute infinite and eternal oneness all three are relevant all three are true different elements of our ear pick up on different dimensions and energies of the shaffer there is experiencing it as a mitzvah a connection this is what hashem wants an inner ear senses the truva and the deepest ear senses the oneness i am yours and you are mine and all three meditations by chauffeur are all in place yes on rosh hashanah we could ask we could ask for physicality we could ask for spirituality we spoke once you should listen go to rosh hashanah in the yeshiva.net there's the clap you guys can hear me yes there's the class why elie thought hannah was drunk because she's asking for her own needs on rosh hashanah what do you ask for your needs think about hashem but of course the answer is a jew asking for his or her own needs is really hashem's needs because we're one you can also listen this week we had a woman's class why do we daven why are we trying to change hashem's will a whole a whole class about hana's prayer also we discussed this aspect so on rosh hashanah you could ask for personal things yeah yet absolutely it's not for now let's let's just let's let's stick to this topic um somebody asks a govaldig a question i'll take strength give me three minutes uh somebody asks a question so why by mikvoyas is the remiss in mikveh not in hilkish truva very good very good why by mikveh doesn't he do it in hilchastruva also if it's a rammus good good good thank you for asking i appreciate when people listen that way so that's footnote that's footnote 18. take a look at footnote 18 and the circle he answers it and the point is because by mikveh the hint is about fixing your blemishes but it's about a specific tickle the tire nav me deja sarayas it's about cleansing myself from ideas from thoughts that are toxic through the waters of wisdom that are pure so it's a specific particular element of fixing of hilcus macquaries where schaefer is not a particular mitzvah that i'm trying to fix a particular sin it's the very essence of trevor that encompasses all the mitzvahs so it goes until his truva take a look in footnote 18 where he explains this uh let me person asks as follows i'm trying to understand what you said does hashem really have did hashem have free choice to create the world did he have free choice to choose the jewish people could have chosen somebody else does the jew have free choice to go follow the torah does hashem have free choice whether to bring mashiach or not at the surface when we're faced with two or more choices we have to choose one right take this and let the other one go this is what we call free choice but maybe what you're saying is that on a deeper level there is only one choice that connects with our essence because this is what our essence is to opt for hashem and toyota to marry maybe a certain person to do certain work so ironically what is normally thought of as free choice exists only superficially because on a deeper level for matters of essence there's no real free choice as we normally think of it but not because it's not free it's because it's the greatest freedom the freedom to be who i am this is true for us and it's also true for hashem he reached into his essence and chose the jewish people and gave the torah and will bring mashiach very well very well i can take some in here wishing everybody a beautiful shabbos wishing everybody a beautiful year everybody
