Rabbi Shmuel Reichman - Elul and Shofar: The Deeper Purpose of Our Wake Up Call

so i want to share some unbelievably deep ideas with you regarding ello but the way that i want to start is with robin iona's famous analogies famous marshall and if you've heard it before there is no such thing as hearing this enough times the martial goes like this there's a bunch of people who are in jail and some of them decide they're going to break out so they decide they're going to dig a hole out and they're going to escape so after a couple days of freaking how they can do it they finally dig their hole and they all escape a couple hours later the guard comes by and he sees that there's one person who's still in the jail cell he's sitting there he just decided he wasn't going to leave so the guard starts getting all upset he opens the lock and he goes into the jail and he starts beating this last guy who didn't escape and the guy wouldn't escape is thinking hey listen i'm the good guy i stayed why in the world are you beating me up and the question is why was he beating him up what was so bad if anything he he listened to the rules he didn't escape the jail but you wanna know why the guard got so upset because what's the purpose of a jail the purpose of a jail is to keep you there against your will the purpose of a jail is you weren't incarcerated you did something wrong and now you are being punished but what did this man do he said no i actually i could get out of here i could escape like everyone else but i'm not going to he redefined the jail as something that's not the jail he decided that he was going to stay there by his own will and in doing so the guard obviously you can say practice the guard was upset that everyone else escaped he took it it ain't go out on this guy no but he's upset that this guy turned the jail into something it's not an l is an opportunity for the extraordinary it's an opportunity to connect to yourself to chuva is as marvel explains it's returning to your true self your higher yourself your best self this opportunity to connect hashem in the deepest way to become the best versions of ourselves and if we don't take an advantage of that opportunity we are redefining l with something it's not and that's the ultimate corruption which is taking something that could be true it could reflect its true purpose and we are corrupting we are we are we we failed to connect to what it really could and should be and so now the question becomes what what is el all about because here's the way that i want to pose this to you how do you think of ello when you think of elopham yourself what do you think of so a lot of people actually they think more of of din judgment they think of ownership punishment of fear of year and at the higher year of connecting to hashem in this awe-inspiring way as they're all explains but the lower level of era which is more just being scared of being punished and a lot of people they also they don't relate well to owl because they think of it as a time of self-criticism of just losing your self-worth and saying another year and i'm nowhere near where i want to be nowhere near where i should be and the questions like this how many people actually perceive our as a time of opportunity of connecting to their higher self the connecting testing of connecting to the oneness of reality the oneness of hashem of yes obviously you want to connect to the themes of din and onish and all of those are true but everything's nuanced it's like others not fully happy because we don't have the base of mitosis and of is not fully sad because we're heading towards the building the basement we're heading towards monsieur we're heading towards our destination and they've only gone and actually many explain that you can never be fully happy in this world because the world is not as it should be but you can never be fully sad because you're alive you're connected to hashem everything is nuanced so l is it's a serious time but not serious that it lacks that beautiful awe-inspiring nature of heading towards purpose and destination so the question that i have for you is like this number one how are we supposed to tap and tell in a deeper way but number two what is it all about what is the theme of l because if you think about it all these things that i mentioned din ownershira uh connecting to hashem these are rosh hashanah concepts so there is this misconception that l is just the precursor just a prerequisite it's just leading towards rosh hashanian kepper the omnirain it's really l has no independent identity it is simply part of something else is that true is l simply just getting us ready for rosh hashanah it doesn't really have its own unique topic it's any purpose it's just there as part of something else and the real the depth of this question is that zman itself is so powerful as a concept is a powerful concept comes from the word which means to prepare it allows things to come into being does time exists the classic philosophical question so some philosophers will say that time is simply a measurement of movement time doesn't exist there's no such thing as time but some will say in the balloon will say that no time is real time is actually not only measuring existence but allowing existence to come into being beratious and the villenegon quotes ghazal where he says that beratious is the creation of time and time is the creation of the possibility of bringing things into being so time reflects not only the measure movement but the possibility of movement the enabler the cause of movement but then the question becomes like this what's the nature of time is all of time the same so the classic philosophers will say yes time is just potential you can make any use of time you want but time is just what it whatever you make of time that's what time is just potential but there are explains that time actually is circular there are themes shafa there are themes bracha there are themes in time where kashmir who brings in certain shaffa cern bracha certain potential and each moment contains its own potential but each year has that yearly cycle of themes so pesach because we celebrate our leaving with ryan it's that we left mithrine because it's the time is actually instilled with this potential that's where actually explains that avraham at so low eat matzo why because he says rashford explains it was pesach well what does that mean it's pesach you see specific didn't happen for another couple hundred years what are they doing but time is built in with these themes with these potential this unique potential and avraham was tapping into this month and i can see yesterday that would happen later but it's the reason why we left mitsrayam on that night at that time is because of that potential that was already instilled within time but then we have a problem because now time is just a circle we're just going in circles every single year tapping into certain themes so what's going on but the idea is like this the idea is that time is actually building spirals every single year there are certain themes instilled within the yearly shenandoah the yearly cycle of but every single year we take it one step further meaning we go the same circle but every year it's one step above so we're the same point in the circle but one rung up and we're creating a spiral that's why the rampart explains that every single year has its unique topic and every single month every single day has its unique purpose if you understand the themes of the months you can tap into the unique themes of what this month is about but how we're going to take that theme to the next level but then the question becomes what is the theme of owl what is the theme of owl because if zman is so powerful and if each man each month has its unique theme what is the theme available and if you want proof that it has a unique theme we blow chauffeur and now we'll talk about a little later that they're different hug them some have the minha to only blow show for the 25th of el why we have to think about why we don't hold that we obviously you know that we blow chauffeur from rotorua gel if we're blowing shift from from scholarship something's unique about l itself the whole month has some unique theme and i want to delve deep into this i want to delve deep into this by delving deep into the midst of chauffeur what is the mitsubishi really about why do we blow chauffeur what is the purpose of longshot for obviously it's loud you know in a simple level we'll talk about how it wakes you up but there's something so much deeper and i want to get to the root of the midsole chauffeur and the real starting question is why do we blow chauffeur well what's the purpose besides for obviously it's loud it makes you the wrong button will talk about you know waking you up but like on the practical level like you know obviously it's different it's it wakes you up so to speak but what's what's the deeper root what's a deeper purpose and to take it a step further what is the actual mitzvah of chauffeur if you look at it the rambam formula is a missionary the mitzvah is ko shofar lishma kohl shafar look up in the mission torah didn't string that he connects if it's over which is interesting he connects those three together but the mitzvah of chauffeur is called chauffeur the coal what's called cole means the sound the sound that's a very unique terminology it comes up in hazard very unique ways the condom of coal colos what is a coal has that what's the difference between coal and the other sound what's the depth of coal but let's take a step further the rama says something fascinating he says that the principle of mitzvah baba vera doesn't apply to a stolen chauffeur he says that if you because the mitzvah is called show first the sound if you have a stolen chauffeur you still are making me fulfill the mitzvah chauffeur because the mitzvah is the sound it's disconnected from the physical vessel the physical tool of the physical chauffeur what's going on here so let me give you a little background just to understand this we can spend hours talking about the consummation of era and assad let me give you a little background here miso baba vera is the concept that if you do an avira and then do a midfield with that same object the simple understanding is that the mitzvot doesn't work so what's the classic example rule of a guzzle still a little of silver you can't use it and the the gemara actually talks about it when the first day has to be the questions will come only applied to escrow or lulu as well it has to be yours so you can't have a stool a stolen one it doesn't belong to you what if there's a transfer of ownership well if there's a issue with if you actually do own it still can't use it because of mitsuba vera it's a mitzvah shaking with love which came haha miami what's the problem we have a principle is if you do a positive commandment mitzvah and negative commandment the idna at the same time then it's it it overrides doka it overrides and you're able to so to speak to the mitzvah so first of all has that work and what's the difference between that mitsub and assad so obviously you have a time difference but why should that make a difference what's the time difference the acetate there's a midfield variable being then with the very same instant the idna mitsuba bavaria is you're doing a vera first and then you do a misspell later on why should one work on one dozen so there are different explanations we'll go through a little bit obviously these are sugars which you need many many many at least a full length shirt on the sugar itself which i'm just going to give you a little bit of the overview just so we can understand like the problem with the rambam sheeta that you can you can use a stolen chauffeur it doesn't seem to make sense so mitsuba vera which is acid so why does acetylcholosa say work so we're not going to go into all the explanations but simply there are a couple explanations one is that the positive mitzvah knocks it out so what what's an example of the horoscope some of the classic examples is you wear sits instead of shotguns on it or you do reverse milo you're not like cut saurons off of your body part but you do brush me left foot straws you cut off the there's a trash on the arla you cut that off for the brishmilla so those are acetylcholos to say in the midsole works what why is it work so you can see that the mitzvah knocks out the ovary you can say that in the final equation the assay is worth more so let's say obviously you can't really quantify these things and you're not supposed to but let's say the ah say the mislasty the positive commandment is 20 points and the loss i say is negative 10 points at the end of the day you get a positive 10. so it's 20 minus 10 but you still get something but the deeper explanation is that why are you doing this positive commandment and why are you doing this negative human why are you doing this why are you doing this the purpose of the mitzvah and the purpose of the veer is for the mitzvah in case the first meal you want to do the british meal oh there's there's jurassic you don't want to cut off the trash it's there you want to do the first meal when you're wearing scissors with challenges you want to wear this okay the purpose is wearing the scissors you can define the act as a mitzvah the underlying russian and desire is to connect with hashem and you can basically redefine the entire misa as a mitzvah okay it's a lower level that's a they can debate that but at the end of the day as long as it's been the same the same act mitzvah babavera you separate the myself and then my severe the vice mitzvah so first i stole love then i did the midsole first i sold chauffeur then i did a mitzvah of the chauffeur so you can't define it as a mitzvah because you didn't avair first so the reason why it doesn't work is either you say that the avira taints the mitzvah later on so it's a lower level mitzvah it's still a midsole level or you say that it makes it that you can't do a mitzvah with it as in it takes away the possibility of fulfilling themselves so it's only available or you say that they actually knock each other out meaning mitsuba bavira it's it's like plus 10 and -10 as in they knock each other out so either it's like um the the it's it's it's almost like they clash against each other so to speak we're not going to get into the mechanics but i'm not going to get into the spheres and i can get into the inner logic the point is that mitsuba vera in most cases is a problem and you're not able to do the mitzvot with the the object that was used to do an avira interesting suggest where you do navier which is a a mice of here something which is us or not allowed but you do that for a positive purpose to get closer to garage barracu like esther going to which was potentially guillorious that's why she said kashi she's going to be us after that i'm not going to get into all the details but there are cases there are very little loads daughters lots of famous cases of virulent and when it's okay when it's not okay now here's the question the random says that when it comes to chauffeur mitzvah avira is not a problem you can do it why because it's not about the physical object it's all about the coal the coal the sound of chauffeur so first of all we have to understand since when does the when you do a mitzvah obviously you wanna there are different aspects of the midfield but you're still doing it with a physical object are you saying lula maybe the mitzvah isn't the physical move it's to shake it and i'm in the shaking is some ethereal spiritual concept like why when it comes to chauffeur can we remove the coal from the physical chauffeur that's the the first question in order to really delve deeper what i want to do now is i want to understand the thematic depth of chauffeur because there are specific examples in torah where a chauffeur is required that we know classically elo and rosh hashanah but that's not the only cases and assadigan actually mentions 10 and he goes through all them and tries to understand like what's the connection why do we do it for these specific examples what i want to do with you is i want to go through some of them and i want to try to understand why why is chauffeur connected to these and what is chauffeur really about what is the theme what is the depth what is the meaning in your intermediary concept of chauffeur because we blow shuffle by hell we blow shuffle by rosh hashanah and torah so this week blew a chauffeur there was a chauffeur blowing chauffeur sound the colos by mountain torah we had it before going to war there's a here to blow chauffeur um the torah tells us that when we when we anoint when we coordinate including mashiach meaning you have to anoint them not only obviously there's there's a whole process so usually there's oil involved but and obviously we've talked about shaman shmonger and the idea of the eighth of of connecting with the transcendent but there's idea of chauffeur we will show further chauffeur have to do with us there's many sources that talk about some of their the surfer was going to be blonde why is the chauffeur whenever you have a concept that appears in many places into our thought many different myths for those many different sugars they're always interconnected in some fundamental way and the question is what is the fundamental connection between all of these themes all these topics and obviously to understand that we need to understand what chauffeur is really about and to take it a step further is perhaps the source of chauffeur because i'll talk about how after avraham did not shake he saw ram which was created before creation placed it there specifically for this purpose and that's the you know the the ram horns are connected to this and a case he's like it's kind of blue chauffeur we are doing the the you know the chronos we are calling on the clutch buckle to remember of overcoming stricten and getting him what is going on here what what is the the concept of a case yitzchak and what has have to do with shofar what is shofa really about why should chauffeur affect our uh our zman din our ultimate judgment on rosh hashanah and el and once again back to our question why are we being show for an elo why why shouldn't we just do our rosh hashanah so let's start very simply because i want to build this i want to build this with you because with everything in life and with every toy idea every suggest every suggest there's levels there's a hierarchy of depth and the shot is always the best place to start and you build layers and layers and you build deeper so in a very simple level the swiffer wakes us up from a very simple level the chauffeur literally wakes us up as a loud sound okay the different types you know tequila we're not going to talk about that tonight although we could that's very deep because we will talk a little bit about the crying we'll talk about that and some greater depth but a very simple level we need to get woken up i mean you know this i know this we are we've been alive no matter how old you are whether you're five years old 10 years old 20 years old 50 years old 100 years old you know that life becomes robotic we become just zombies we just start going through the motions and we just get lost within life itself we are not aware we are not choosers we are not becoming we are not growing no matter how incredible you are i guarantee you that you know that you know that you can be more but we're tired we're tired or we are sleepwalking through life and i don't care how incredible or how much you've grown if you are by yourself in a room and you really think about it you realize that you need a little bit of a wake-up call we all do we all just need a little bit of that wake-up call to say you're alive and there's so much for us to do in this life in this world and the chauffeur just wakes us up and the random says this says successfully that it's meant to to wake you up out of your your habits and your circles you just he literally talks about this if you want to look up yourself and say hello and he talks about it or you're seeing him right you basically just wake you up from your slumber and he literally says that like you know just like get you get your woken up and moving you know start chuva is a process and you have to get woken up to go on that journey so okay so we start very simple that the the it's meant to get you to be joseph to to really connect back to what and the question that we're going to talk about is is what does this really mean because in the fourth chapter talks about how the chauffeur he wakes up our inner world so now we're trying to get deeper it's not just it wakes you up it like shocks you but it gets your inner world moving somehow awakens your inner self your inner yetzer and inspires you to juva so that sounds beautiful but we have to understand what this really means because i'll give you a great example where where the you know i found this was a great example in das tunos and la madalid so we're not going to talk about how llama how does films are structured but llamadale the the basically uses the lushen of tokaya he uses it as the way to drive the idea of hashem's one is to drive it deep into our heart that that's his lush sun that's the way he uses the word okay so it goes from the intellect to like deep internal experiential knowledge so it's the way of getting you to say like beyond the intellectual stratosphere of what you know you should do you actually start experiencing and doing it and this is a whole different topic but we all know the famous idea that you know the distance between the head and the heart is about you know it's an infinite journey but that is we've actually talked about this in the last year concept of dust the concept of making knowledge internal and real of waking up your inner self where we all know what we should and shouldn't do if you'd be honest if you know what you shouldn't eat you know we shouldn't say you know you shouldn't watch you know who you should hang out with you know you shouldn't be doing you know what you should be doing the reason why we don't live by what we know we should be doing is because intellectual knowledge is not the right type of knowledge you have to have dust dialysis where intellectual knowledge becomes integrated with your very self it becomes who you are you become so aware it's like the same way that you're aware that you're alive if you were so aware of the truth in that same deep experiential way you would never ever do anything wrong it would be impossible it's like never shaking talks about malachim they could do a virus they could disagree or disobey so to speak the will of akash barachu but it's like walking into a fire you just wouldn't do it if you see as clearly as they do what ms in checker is you never choose shekker you always choose ms but we we don't see through that type of spiritual lens and we basically can ignore intellectual knowledge because we don't experience it with that deep internal experiential knowledge base of dust helps us tap into something deeper and we're gonna have to understand what that means because it sounds great and it's good to start this way i mean just intellectually understanding that chauffeur allows us to tap into a deeper internal root state of self in consciousness but what does that mean and just to put it simply before we do build it deeper it's it's important to really understand the importance of breaking habits of getting out of cycles cycles of spiritual death of you know if you're doing something it we i would say everyone has that one comfort zone where they just have done it for the past now a year 10 years 20 years it's just the same problem and it's just a cycle it's like we can't fathom breaking the cycle a chauffeur the concept of chauffeur is breaking it's breaking the shackles breaking the cycle it's getting you outside of the comfort of your your habits and allows you to recreate yourself and that's actually part of the idea of blowing chauffeur before war is blown from before war is waking you up to what waking you up to the consciousness that or the awareness that al-qaeda is going to be the ultimate source of your victory it's helping you direct yourself towards hashem so the idea of chauffeur is opening up yourself to a higher awareness to a higher knowledge to a higher connection with your source it's it's also it's this concept of tapping into root tapping into starting point tapping into origin so your origin the origin of everything the origin of reality tapping into the root tapping in connecting to hashem in the deepest most real potent way that's the concept of chauffeur in the deepest most unqualified form it's about root it's about and we're going to talk about how coal is the concept of root voice we're gonna have to understand what that means but chauffeur is that root and it's supposed to be a cry a blast which which reaches into your heart and carries you back to your higher self and carries you back it is a tracing back to origin to root the birth of reality to the creation of reality to creation of yourself to your ultimate root and the underlying principle before we develop this is understanding that is is our ultimate root but not just in the sense that gosh but who created the of the world now a lot of people think that gosh don't create the world before i shall create the world there was nothing as the villain obviously many many many other alibaba will explain before asham created the world there was insuff there was only a sparrow once akash created the world the the mice uh of creation the act of creating the world was an act of creating something from not nothing really you can either say everything but it's not really everything it's it's no thing ain is no thing it's that which is beyond thing now which is a thing is is is concrete it's physical it's finite it's limited before hashem created the world was beyond thing but then he created a mockum a space within himself for us to exist if you take a cup and you fill it with lead and you want to pour water into that cup you can't pour anything into it because it's filled with lead if you have a cup that has space you can pour water into it kashmir will create a space a malcolm within themselves for us to exist we exist within akash which is why we've explained many times that whenever someone feels distant from akash baraku we talk about the concept of makko right berhama who on the sir now we're not going to get into exactly why we do it then but when someone dies we say that you might think that the person that died is very distant from hashem but he's still within you think you're distant from that person from your relative no you're just in a different level of reality but we're all connected to the ultimate malcolm because we're all within it's the idea of understanding the concept of sourcing yourself back to the root of reality is understanding that you're already within so to speak and it's about going deeper and deeper within yourself to the ultimate root of self and consciousness the ultimate root of reality ultimate root of existence which is an existence exists within hakaresh will say would not need to create the world the world was hashtag will the world into existence and never explains that creation is constant so it's not a shame create the world one time in history hashem constantly creates the world and we exist within we exist within akash baruch what is chauffeur do chauffeur helps us get back to our route chauffeur traces it back to our ultimate malcolm to our ultimate rhetoric in itself and the shoresh of chauffeur actually has the same root the same show showresh as many other very interesting words so for example le chaper which means to go back to the root and repair or improve or shapir which means spiritually beautiful right something that's like at root perfect and beautiful or may shafir which is amniotic fluid it's the liquid and membrane for the fetus it's what's meisha fear is when you were in the womb when you were at your root it's like the birth process the creation process of a person and if you want to think about it like this me shuffle your what is water what is water because this is very deep this actually gets into something powerful water as the morale explains is formless it takes on the form of its container something that has form always stems from water so the concept of water is breakdown into formlessness and then the creation of form which is why every creation process always stems from water when the eclair special created the world the dry land emerged from the water when karchberg recreated the world by the marble a garbage bag first immersed the world back in water back into a formal state and then the dry land once again emerged from the water later on when the cars broke who took the creative component of reality the creative stage of reality to the next level by creating client israel he did it through korea's yamcha and morale explains that klysol went into the amsof was emerged in the water so to speak and then re-emerged reborn recreated the with new form as clients as a nation they entered as individuals and they emerged reborn as a single nation and there's many many other examples but the most important for right now is you you and i when we were in the womb we were in this formless perfect state we were emerged within or immersed within the mean shafir we at our route at our birth stage our root stage shapiro chauffeur and our root and the gemara needed that in the good morning and neither that flamin of a base which we've explained many times explains that when you were in the room you were in a perfect state you were learning colossal arakula and the villain explains that it wasn't just you know you were learning cultural in the deepest sense cosmic torah you understood all of reality the purpose of reality and your unique purpose and you came into this world the mile hits you on the mouth and you forget all of it so you can come into this world and build it yourself but me shafir were tapping into the concept of root when you were in the womb you were perfect and the concept of teshuva is going back to that root of achieving your perfection the perfection that you had as a gift when you you when you were in the womb and the chauffeur is what helps you trace back to that root and that's why the whole concept of mikvah make this so powerful mikvah is we go into water and what's the purpose of it it's a recreation of self you go into the mikvah and you are reborn when you go into the water you're formless you're going back to that fetal state that state of perfection come back into this world purified and reborn because water i mean obviously a miami territory is also that purifying entity which is the mechanism of helping us go back to our torah is the root it's the direction it's the revelation of the wrestling quest baruch who the rest of which helps us achieve teshuva but the concept of mikvah is this concept of recreating so that's why the world went through make the process the dry light emerged from the water by by the creation story and by the mobile and by kriya samsuf but we also have a mikvah for someone who converts to judaism is reborn right gare like it causes like a newborn person and when a person goes to mikvah they're they're reborn when we are in our womb it's that same concept of mikvah and that's the idea there's always this connection between mikvah and 40. right make that has to be 40 so and the mobile the mobile said 40 days all right and until four days the fetus is maya bahama and in addition to all that we were in the mid bar for 40 years there's a formation of glycerol and there's so many for example or you know we're not going to get to the difference but the mission of says that to get wisdom it takes 40 years when you're 40 years old you get wisdom why because what's wisdom wisdom is creating form out of all the different ideas if you are someone who just knows hundreds and hundreds of facts you're not a wise person you're understanding principles understand ideas you understand the form the the very essential root form concepts but someone who's about understands the essence of the ideas themselves and this is the idea of the number 40 which is such a powerful number there are many other examples of 40. we're not going to get into all of them we can give a whole share on that but the chauffeur is meant to bring us back to our fetal state it's meant to help us source ourselves back and that's why what the here's the have a glitch that i have is what how many days do we pull chauffeur it's amazing it's unbelievable how many days 40 days russian el tilliam kipper right because we think about it's not 40 consecutive days because it's through owl then rosh hashanah and then you stop for a fish meat chute and then you join your kipper but it's from yom kippur is 40 days how unbelievable is that 40. may shafir chauffeur unbelievable so the idea is that the chauffeur is helping us connect back to our root helping us connect back to our perfect selves helping us coming back to college it is literally the mechanism of waking us up and helping us trace ourselves back to our root and it's so important to realize by the way and i've seen this so many times people give up they just say it's too late for me you know i can't improve maybe i can improve on this but not that like that i'm just you know that's off limits i've i've been messing up on that for my whole life and the rambam says explicitly and he draws his inspiration from the gemara zardoff he designed all if it talks about revelation that it's never too late it is never too late to become the best version of yourself to shuffle that talks about this individual who was the worst of the worst was he had an intimate relationship with just about every person he can find except there's one person he went that one person and she refused to have relations with him and basically said you know there's no hope for you and he went to you know all the different you know little just call them forces of nature and ask for them to have to the aventage and to accept them back and they said no we're not he realized it's up to me no one can do it except for me and he he did the impossible and he died on the spot then he became known as rabbi as a teacher and he taught us what he taught us that is never too late to to become amazing to become extraordinary to achieve the impossible in a single instant you can you know achieve the immeasurable unbelievable achievements that you never thought were even possible and that's the power of chufa and it's also realizing that and this is something which i think is really powerful if you look at that command very carefully he does something very interesting he goes into the fetal position look at that gemara he goes into the fetal position i mean the rambam basically is inspired by he he says that russia can always do true until the day he dies and what's this idea of going to the field position why is he going to the field position because the process of pure true truth this person did was going back to his field state it was going back to his roots going back to who he was that is teshuva and that is what chauffeur is about chauffeur is about getting back to our root and i'll give you another beautiful example shift shift rampua you know the the the famous famous miriam who are the midwives who saved the jewish children and that's ryan so shifur what's that nail what do you what do you hear shofar what did shifter do unbelievable schiffer took fetuses out of the womb so first of all that's taking a fetus out of its source right that's the concept of source may shafir chauffeur fetuses out of the womb she also helped the jewish woman and really the jewish people she helped them connect and source back the gospel right because of them they were able to you know have hope and life for the jews that they were being destroyed by power in the mid-stream the egyptians and because of shiphrah because of shifa there was still hope they were able to really maintain their moon and connect with and connect back to their roots but what's the most unbelievable finish here the tour asks the question right they save the babies lives we know how they save the babies lives so unbelievable what is the tour say a tour says that and this is like a classic classic cheetah is that she blew breath into their nostrils right when the it's not only that they didn't kill the babies it's that they actually actively gave them life and when the fetuses were born and their children were born they resuscitated them and they blew life through their nostrils which is like cajun barclay blew life into the nostrils of manna they blew life into the naturals of these babies and what what are we seeing here number one we're saying breath right cold cold we'll talk about this it's it's giving that source that that deep root of a voice but what else do you see here she literally blew into the naturals blowing chauffeur you blow a chauffeur what else so the tour says it's a what it where does shifter come from schiffer comes from the shores of shifo ferris which means a reed because she would take a read and she would blow into their nostrils we literally when it comes to schiffer she became a chauffeur she blew you know life into these children unbelievable unbelievable chauffeur is about connecting back to our route connecting back to our our macor our malcolm our source but it's something more as well it's a cry we need to understand a couple things number one what is this kind of call like this voice this this spiritual concept of cold but also it's this cry it's a cry it's a whale and we actually learn it from a very interesting source the the amount of of of shepherd blows for us hashanah but we're not going to get to that right now but the idea of of crying is something very interesting because what does crying do crying tears without getting into all the details all complexities crying is all about the cessation of process the cessation of movement and just existing at root level so for example when do you cry you cry when you lose track of the process itself so for example you thought you were going to live for 50 years and you find out that you only have a couple days left to live you cry because the path is gone when else do you cry when there's happy happiness you thought you were going to have a couple days left to live the doctor says oh my gosh good news you're going to live for another 50 years you're cured you start crying because you thought the path was one thing and the path was something else what's that concept that concept of confusion of bakri also like you know more than someone who's confused crying is connected to confusion it's connected when the path is distorted when the path is lost because what is the depth of crying crying is when there is no more process there is no more direction you are at a state of being and a state of root and part of it is toe part of it is confusion and chaos but another part of it is just this longing and being at a place beyond process which is the root right when you're at the root stage when you're at the stage of connecting to garageband transcendental level there's no more process there's no more time there's no more being or becoming you're just with the root when we cry we yearn we yearn to for a moment stop the journey and just connect back to our route no i'm not going to you know work on this i'm not going to work and i just want to be with akashi i just want to connect somebody just want to connect to my source and it's almost you're pausing the process of of the journey of life and you're longing simply to just shoot back to the root like the ultimate teshuva like that leap of teshuva and that's really what the ultimate rosh hashanah concept is is that we we are going back to our ultimate group beyond space and time beyond process and we will see a little more to talk about that but this concept of going to the absolute root and this is the idea of coal coal coal chauffeur coal is this concept of a unique sound what's the uniqueness of coal now listen very carefully because this is powerful coal is a sound that is beyond words is a root sound is a sound that connects the absolute root essence of reality itself and we need to understand what this means the best way to understand it like this the roundup says that the mitzvah of chauffeur is so far shofar what is coal let's think of it like this number one kaiser barco spoke the world into existence what does that mean there are five processes five steps i should say of creation there's will then there's the thought then there's the process of taking that thought and bringing it into reality you break down the thought you intellectualize the thought you understand the thought you understand the applications then you speak it into existence which represents the process of taking that which is ethereal the the concept and bringing it into the into the world and then the actual spoken end result is the d is the davar it's the word it's the it's the word it's the actual expression of speech or it's the mice it's the action right which is also why the rambam says that it's not enough to have here who writes you but to think about you you have to speak you have to do video you have to speak it because it's not enough to have the thought you have to express it into reality the concept of express failure spoke who took the spiritual and expressed it into the physical that's why we talk about creation as the yomer all right spoke the world into existence now here's the question how we supposed to relate to speech speech is the process of taking the ethereal taking the infinite and bringing to the final when you speak you take the ideas in your head and you express it into the physical world now the words are not the thoughts themselves but they are an expression of them now the deepest root of sound is breath right you take a deep breath and through that deep breath you now have the energy or the ability the potential to use that breath to express words so you take a deep breath and now you start to speak nishima is the hebrew word for breath nishama is yourself your soul you take a nishima you take a breath and that is the your your ability think about that that's your ability to express your soul express yourself express your inner world out into the world for other people to see an experience nasheem is when enables you to expression the deepest root of manifest sound the root of sound before there's any words before there's anything concrete before it becomes something actual the root of sound the root of expressing the self into the world is called col is the sound beyond sound it is the sound beyond words for sure and it's also the sound beyond sound because it's the root of sound it's the root of sound it's the wordless voice it's the wordless cry it it's the process of sound moving towards words words are expressed they're limited they're finite when you say anything in speech you're always limited because you can say like for example you say i love pizza and you say i love i love you to your wife it's your husband it's like it's just a word you use the same word to describe as you describe the relationship with your spouse how's that possible it's because words are always limited they're a limited expression of your internal awareness your eternal experience your internal thoughts the goal is getting back to the root of where those words came from the inner consciousness that created those words that's why a word davar mila and teva the three words for word in hebrew right you take your thought you take your inner world and you mila you cut it up into just a finite little thing you put it into a table you put it into a box and you get a device you get a limited thing that's a word but the goal is to take the words to trace them back to to truly communicate to truly understand anyone you need to learn how to use the words but get past the words and not think about what you use those words for but think about what that person is actually trying to say that's the key get back to their cold get back to their wordless essence get back to beyond with swipe there's a deep idea we're not going to talk about now but understanding the power of silence understanding the power of living in a realm beyond words where you're at a root stage that's why the morale explains moshe i mean you had trouble speaking because he lived in the world of venice and it was so beyond speech and only once akash brought him created the miracle of expressing tory into finite words that you have divided by idaho moshe that moshe now was able to speak without a problem the paradox of being in the realm of the infant the realm of silence the realm of truth that which is beyond words and yet somehow paradoxically and supernaturally being able to then manifest that infinite into the finite for the finite to actually truly and loyally manifest and reflect the infinite that is extraordinary that is extraordinary and coal coal is this this this root this voice beyond words and a coal a coal can carry the infinite depth of the idea a call before it began becomes expressed in davar and dibor cole can still express the infinite because it retains the fullness of the idea without confining it into any specific words think about that it contains the person himself or herself it is it hasn't yet been limited and concretized into words and therefore coal still is the essence that still is the root it still is the mccor it still is the concept of chauffeur that root before expressed that perfect stage before expressed into the limited where the limited is the means to then re-access the infinite re-access the root it's not a corruption of there it doesn't have to be and that's why the for example the torah refers to prophecy as kohl hashem tells avraham to listen to the coal of sarah and rashi explains that that's referring to the prophecy of sarah that she has a higher level of prophecy she knows best right it's it's the coal of hashem is is representing the concept of of that perfect root beyond words that that source concept and what we need to realize though as we as we go further is that the concept of coal exists within the realm of goron the throat right we have the there's always different mashallah different analogies for relaying ideas into our thought one of the ideas is the connection between the head and the body the head represents the ethereal the conceptual the realm of ideas the realm of thought the realm of torah and the body represents the realm of physical realm of mice at the realm of mitzvah and the neck represents the connection between the two that's why the basement is referred to as the neck but the garone is also which is the throat it's the origin of voice and it's the point of it's the point of connection between the infinite and the fine and the physical and the spiritual the ethereal and the corporeal and that's why the throat is where prophecy whenever it takes place it is is the point of connection between the spiritual and physical that's why for example moshe is moshe's hashem spoke me to grow no shall moshe hashem spoke through the throat of moshe and that's why also hashem tells the navy to cry out bigaron cry out bigger one in the place of cold a place of your throat that i mean raise your coal like a chauffeur it's it's the concept of prophecy the kinds of prophecies connecting akash baruch who's will into the physical world is the concept of connecting the infant to the finale connecting the head to the body is the place of the guron is the place of the throat and that's what the chauffeur is the chauffeur is a cry beyond words it's a cry it's a whale beyond words it comes straight from the south straight from the shama and it's the razon to connect uh god back in the deepest way true to shiva to return to our root to want that to to genuinely want that when you list the shuffle you want to tap into that red zone you want to you want to you know tap into that deep desire to to just connect and and when you can tap into that root desire there's nothing there are no words to express it there are no words to explain it and it's something which really can't be expressed in words because it's something that you just want so badly there's no way to articulate it it's your deepest roots it's your deepest breaths and it's who you are it's what drives everything you want to fulfill your purpose to become who you're supposed to be and to connect to your source in the deepest way possible and that's why the rambam actually describes chuva and dark age juventus it's to constantly cry out to kashmir you call up yourself in the rambam base talks about just crying out to college barack but not not like like crying it's like crying out like there's a deep yearning like genuinely wanting to be with that to sit in the oh hell torah to sit in the sit within the real knock and to feel connected to hashem to really want that that's the beauty that's the beauty of chauffeur and it really it awakens the root of ourselves it re awakens the root of art in it's the coal that reaches into our heart and awakens us and carries us all the way back and think about that think about how to tap into that and now we're going to start going through some of the applications harshinai was the root of those calls roy masocolos we saw clothes what is this what does that mean so what was the harshinai experience number one jarcinia was an experience of going back to our root selves we experienced it where we experienced the revelation of our sparkle's will and we went back to our root went back the the way that ghazal pradesh went back to before the zuhima before the poison of the when adam sinned the sahara the actually became part of him and that's why he became physical the ramban explains that he became mortal but he wasn't going to die before that became limited became physical the curse then he has to work for life you have to get pronounced all of these things the zuma the venom of the snake we needed to also before the the height we didn't need to go to the bathroom we didn't we just was our bodies digested the food and there was no excrement there was no waste what happened by matar we went back to that stage with the mun there's no excrement by the mun we were back in that perfect angelic state and it was also i mean think about it we live in a world where everything is filtered you have good and bad right that's the concept of das which happened when adam from says joshua explains the concept of not having to have excrement means that there's no longer filtration like everything is is told everything is perfect and that was the state we re-entered it's also it's this realm of perfection the way that the torah first was roy messicles we saw the colos you don't see close you you see things you hear colos why do we see it so the beautiful idea here is that sound represents movement seeing is static we we saw sounds because this world um is the realm of becoming a process is where we experience who we are who we became the conscious the self the mind the internal being that we created during life it's a state of being there's an element of becoming as well but the emphasis on being we saw sounds because we entered into realm of being where process sounds became seen as in static as in we were experiencing the ultimate route in a state of static experiential connection with hakador sparachu and it was a realm it was a state that was absolutely unbelievable obviously it was because of the oneness of clydesdale that we had achieved you know the the beauty of of the actress that was created by mountain tour of christ were coming together as one becoming one nation and that resulted in the process of of mantaura when claistro became one we were able to fully connect to each other ourselves and and that was the mantor experience but in a deep way there's something beautiful here the ram khal explains he says that that experience of mount torah was going back to the root before the creation of evil because at harcina the kolos says it was able to strengthen good over evil right i mean going transcending evil what what does that mean and this is based on the ram chaos and das philos which is the evils of creation it's something which is manifest in this world that root a cult of there is no evil at root and one day we'll realize how everything else manifests in the world is just revealing the ultimate good there really is no evil but by mountain torah we went back to the root and at the root there is only good so the colos which helped us go back to the root revealed that there was only good and the good basically overcame so to speak evil it takes us back to a realm beyond evil and that's the concept of strengthening the concept of good strengthening the forces of toph deep ideas if that went over your head that's okay that's okay but chauffeur represents that concept of root the concept of tracing back to source that comes with a birth of a beginning of root concept and it's also the kind of that's why is a rebirth right what what's a grave grave is a cover kevin doesn't only engrave it means a womb why because you're going to be reborn from your cover that's actually why people want to be buried in there it's this frog because you're gonna obviously you know everyone's gonna travel towards israel the morale talks about how is is the source of of three seminaries israel it's the whole idea we're not gonna go into right now but it's the concept of fool that there's two levels and that you know basically it's representing the connection between the physical and spiritual this world and the next world and that we're going to come from omaha in back into this world through but the concept of is a rebirth it's a rebirth of reality we breathe of ourselves it's not just us coming back and you're having fun it's it's we need a whole share on this but it's coming into this world at a higher level both of ourselves and the whole world will be at a higher level higher state there's different stages of triasmism but in essence it's almost like a rosh hashanah is a rebirth in restaurant we are reborn somewhere reborn it's root it's you know a birth process it's chuva in a sense and we blow chauffeur so you're seeing so many beautiful examples here and before we go into akira i want to just briefly talk about the concept concept of blowing chauffeur and overcoming din part of the concept of blowing chauffeur especially when it comes to rosh hashanah is for malchios when we recognize that as as as our as our core as our sources are the the one who is so to speak governing all of reality and bringing all of us to our ultimate purpose the ram khal explains something powerful he says in der hashem in the fourth chapter that chauffeur overrides din that when we blow chauffeur we are allowing kashmar jose speak to move from the key saved into the kiser what what does that mean so we obviously can give a whole shiran the kansas originally want to create the world with strict in and then he ultimately created the world with rachman what does that mean or what's the purpose of why can't hashem create the world restricted in but simply put for the concept of blowing the chauffeur it moves akash so speak does not give us exactly what we deserve but allows us to have an element of mercy in our judgment what does that mean so this concept comes up in hazard many many times it seems to be you can understand it as just a gift it's it's not logical it's just you did something wrong you deserve to be punished but gives you a gift but their house is something unbelievably amazing he says like this hashem created the world within media connected to me you get what you deserve but why does he do that he does that and that's part of the answer why he added he does that because we are in this world to earn our perfection if he gave it as a gift it wouldn't be appreciated we've given many shrimp on why that would be mean why can't college practice creates that we enjoy free gifts but coach brock created us that we need to earn our perfection now in order to our perfection we need to it needs to be dead ask bias so also gives us consequences for our actions everything is then everything is ms but what happens when we recognize the hashem created then what what happens when we recognize hashem as beyond and not limited by din then can move from den to rahman meaning this is a classic debate of philosophical debate is hashem limited hashem limited by logic so classic classic fluff is a philosophy we'll say that hashem can't create a circular triangle hashem can't defy physics or something can't defy mathematics at least because those are absolute truths and this idea here is basically saying hashem created and we're not going to we can get into a very deep discussion about the root nature of everything in this world whether this world is the world a world whether there could be a world where mathematics is different whether it could be a world where logic is different whether all of these different fascinating questions but the idea is that since hashem is absolute oneness and he created the rules of this world he created the rules of din he's not subject to them he can override them once we recognize when we blow shuffle we're recognizing hashem as the source of reality the source of the of then the source of everything that helps us overcome them because we say you created then you're not bound to then you can actually do bachmann and when we do that refrain freelander actually applies also right now but the idea here is that sulfur represents coal represents a root represents that razor and kessler that root beyond in that ultimate root of reality and when we blow shepherd we're able to tap into that ultimate route and that's also why we blow chauffeur when we anoint a melech why because what is a male first of all when we anoint the mouth it's a birth stage right it's a new stage of the nation it's like a birth so that's one aspect of sugar number two a malek's role is to inspire clients real to accept the real nellie which is like what's the purpose of a leader leader can be selfish the whole reason that he's a leader because he wants power he wants significance he wants to be important or a leader can just reflect the will of the people and just represent the people or a leader can represent hashem a higher will a higher ratson a higher malach and lead the people towards a higher purpose towards something that might be difficult but is it's an aspiring leadership that inspires the followers so to speak to become leaders in their own lives and achieve the extraordinary and devote their lives towards a higher purpose a higher so rosh hashanah is also connected to this concept of anointing why because restaurant so it's this concept of the concept of connected to our ultimate our ultimate source our ultimate which is why we blow show for whenever we anoint a male it's always tapping into that same concept and that's also the same thing from alhams for anointing the talk about this the passage says it's is going to be blown to announce the ultimate here the ultimate freedom and my brother says that if you see a chauffeur in your dream then you can expect a gula you can expect redemption and the morale talks about this in depth he says that chauffeur is always linked to so he's linked to some form of future redemption why because number one once again represents the birth of a new stage it's it's the the starting process the root of a new stage of reality number two the the the concept of mashiach is a stage of reality where we'll have a heightened awareness avocado we'll be able to trace ourselves back to hashem to our root in a much more potent and easier way the world will reflect its root in a much more manifest way and number three it's also connected hashanah because this is the the awareness we're trying to reach on rosh hashanah and really through blowing chauffeur is very much connected to this concept of islamic where we see who manifested reality in a very clear real way and this leads us to our next topic and i know we've been developing a lot i know we're getting deep and i know there's a lot to think about here but that is that is the very essence of the topic we are going deep we are going very deep and the next stage is the chronos the chronos the concept and obviously i'm tapping into a lot of themes of rosh hashanah the concept of aquinas akinasithak as the source of chauffeur so the question is where we learn you know where do we learn out the source that you have to blow from a ram's horn so we learn it from the akita okay afterwards the rim that so i'll talk about how the aikido took place in rosh hashanah and there's so many connections between the academic channel but the gemara nation actually says and that zainab and aleph that in the zuchus of the akita we can evoke the zakira of the akita the the memory the remembrance of the akita and zuchus in the end but willing to shanks hashem will so to speak move from the keys why wha what's so special about the kid there are so many aspects of jewish history that are so powerful why is the akida connected to chauffeur there are two aspects number one number one is yes side number two is avraham's side for me it's quick side i want you to think about what it takes to give up your life to be most unnecessary we live in a generation where it's hard to fathom the generations before us they would give up their lives like hashem like in a heartbeat but i want you to think about what it means to be mostly fish because first of all just you understand the manifest result uh rizal explains that yitzchak also spells keith's chai the values of his spell which means someone who's kate's at towards the ultimate destination in the infinite realm of reality while also being in this world khai will also be living in this world he's living in two realms two dimensions and the gemara also mentions how avraham actually did shakhtar and he is this the first example of triathlon where akash who brought it back into this world and that's why the second brochure which is about the first example represents what so what's in what's it what's the akita what's the willingness to be mostly nephesh think about this if we live in a physical world and we don't believe in hashem we don't believe in a spiritual reality we don't believe that we will live after we die there is no logical explanation to ever give up your life because that's the end of you you cease to exist you would do anything at all possible to continue living unless you believe life is absolutely meaningless and complete pain and misery in which case the ultimate idea would be to commit suicide which was actually a theory classic philosophical theory that is i mean it makes sense on its own terms but when you live from a perspective a meaning and purpose is absolutely absurd but you have to understand the inner philosophy that if life is absolutely meaningless and painful you give up your life the other explanation which is github's side is what if i believe in hashem if i believe i am connected to a reality beyond this physical world i believe i'm connected to my ultimate source then dying is not dying because there's no such thing as death i will never cease to exist because i am not a physical being i am a internal spiritual being i'm in consciousness that is residing within my root higher self higher consciousness that is residing within a physical body and i am eternal i am immortal i will never die when israel was most he was committing to his belief in his own eternal connection to akash baruch that he was connected to an ultimate root chauffeur me shafir connected to something higher to connect it to a higher root and the result is that yitzhak created that ultimate concept of being connected to something higher isn't he realized it but he also is the paradigm of connecting to hashem on the highest level in that sense that's kate sakai that's amazing that's like the highest level of connection being willing to be mostly fresh means that you believe in hashem's will to the ultimate extent that it's not a sacrifice i'm living in a line with in alignment with the truth of course i'm going to be most nefesh because it's not me giving up my life for hashem it's me devoting my life to hashem at whatever whatever the cost and i will never cease to exist i'm not giving up myself for hashem i am simply giving myself to hashem and i will always be with hashem whichever dimension of reality wherever i am expressed and what was the gift that islam received for being the ruler that you will never cease to exist you will always live you will not only will you live in the infinite spiritual dimension but you will actually be brought down back down into this world it's unbelievable chauffeur now avraham's perspective avraham's willingness to go against his intellect that we can we obviously can talk about occasionally forever it's the most boundless topic but without getting into every step of the process and all the different approaches and every single thing we can learn from here very simply put avraham was is the ultimate act of din ultimate act of of yira an old act of violence which went against his nature number one number two he would have to go against his his essence and that would be his legacy that he was in each era which was obviously what the mall said afterwards that he showed that he wasn't only a man of president he was able to overcome his nature and also do an active year for but everyone would now know him as someone who did an act of violence and he was a he was a balker he was trying to convince people to love hashem that hashem is the ultimate source of ms and truth and he's going to go and kill his son that's not exactly the greatest inspiring speech like come to this religion where hashem wants us to kill our children it doesn't make any sense the five reason number two hashem told him that he's going to have a nation with yitzhak and now hashem tells him to go kill him doesn't make any sense number three hashem tells him to do something that makes no sense as in forget all the other aspects that make no sense it doesn't make sense it is not ove for avraham to kill yitzhak it is not good and if avraham believes in hashem buddhist hashem is toph hashem's will is tov how in the world is hashem telling you something that is ra that is evil that makes no sense for him says what i don't understand but there's something beyond my intellectual understanding of hashem is the ultimate root beyond din din bina that is intellect that's reason that's logic that's mathematics that's philosophy that's science but i'm tracing myself back to the ultimate root mccord the ultimate source which is beyond that and now i'm committing to from both ends of yusuk and avraham it is chauffeur unbelievable unbelievable and what was the ultimate resolution of that chauffeur the ram from before creation the root of creation before the manifest expression of reality that ram was there from before creation it's literally all there it's literally like in front of you the ultimate brilliance of torah it's like even like like this is unscripted right now because i'm not supposed to be telling you how unbelievable i think this is just torah is amazing the torah is delicious it is unbelievably amazing there is like this is this itself is chauffeur this just like brings you back to the root that makes you just fall in love with hashem when you see how incredibly beautiful and brilliant tore is and the next step is what what when do we i'm sorry for getting a little sidetracked i just loved her so much the next stage is what the next stage is which is the concept of tracing ourselves back which is well let's go slowly so the chronos is connected to a case lock right especially in russia shawna we talk about the chronos what's the meaning of memory because obviously we're going to be connecting all of this from l to russia we're going to talk about l in a few minutes but the concept of the concept of memory is what memory is sourcing something back to its root when you remember something what are you doing you're going back to where it happened from where it came from you're going back to its root hashem is the ultimate concept of zechariah when we trace ourselves back to hashem in the coming of memory we are rooting ourselves back to our source and if you want to really think about it when we talk about we're not really talking in the sense we are but we're not really talking about hashem remembering we're talking about us remembering we are remembering we are tracing ourselves back we are sourcing ourselves back to and it's like that's the whole kind of like tries to disconnect us from hashem carry happenstance sexual immorality carry a car cold to cool off the flame of passion excitement is the three explanations rashid is for karch amali tries to disconnect us from russia what do we do we say no we're going to zeker we're going to remember hashem and we're going to remember and blot out the memory of a molecule what's the memory of amalek disconnection from russian we're going to blow out that memory we are not going to switch ourselves back to sourcelessness we are going to source ourselves back to the actual source which is a color it's about remembering tracing ourselves back to our root and if you want to take another step remembering is not only tracing yourself back to the root but it's about actualizing that root bringing that root into expression and actualizing that you know the root is a seed the source the core bringing that into reality because think about what are your memories your memories are actualized potential every memory you have is something you did something you thought something you created something you actualized from potential so the root is the potential the memory is taking that and bringing it into reality that's why the concept of remembering that we have certain things that you're supposed to remember always you're supposed to always remember them what's the concept of remembering that always it's bringing that into present consciousness and the ramban explains that we don't remember harsinai why because you're not supposed to ever forget it it's never supposed to be something that you have to bring back into consciousness it's supposed to always be at the forefront of your consciousness but that concept of going back to root which is chauffeur is that concept of zucchinis the concept of memory that comes about going back through and then bringing that root into full expression and i'll share with you an incredible idea an incredible idea about the kosher doctrine because the chauffeur it takes us back to something unbelievable it takes us back to a college broadcast back to the root but there's a big question so gemara actually asked it says how can we blow show for why what's the problem blowing so far it's a horn and what does a horn do a horn it represents an animal right it represents the ego because the ego is a calf with horns and when we blow from a horn we are bringing down that din we are causing so hashem to remember or the satan to remember it's like categorizing anger problem where we're basically like inciting the satan to say like remember remember the ego the worst sin of all time maybe besides for one of the most famous questions so what's the answer so it's the mariah says on the marriage saying it says it doesn't apply in the kodachaka dosha okay so this problem of blowing a horn which would theoretically incite the satan or bring back bad memories it doesn't apply in the koshakodoshima but what's what's the problem with that what we're not in the kosha dosha we're kind of like not in the color shock objection because we're not like you know that's a great solution if the only time trophy was ever blown was in the coaching document that's not the case so what's the answer the answer the command is that chauffeur is like the ko shakur shrimp since it does the chronos okay whoa like what in the world does that mean but i want you to think about it first of all what is the kosher kadasham koi second notion is the point beyond space and time we've talked about this many many times but the world is great with concentric circles so the rest of the world has the regular laws of physics once we get back to sorel kumar says that no one ever complained that they have a place um sorry for registral it's it's it's um the kumar says that airshow is compared to the skin of a deer because this kind of video once it's taken off the ear like had it ever fit on the deer and the same thing for registrar it's like how does claudius feel fitness so it doesn't make any sense but it's a miracle once you get to shalom all the regular all of class will come to slime every single year for the solstice gun for the three main festivals and the kumar says that no one ever complained they'd have a place to stay which doesn't make any sense because it doesn't make any sense that it could fit everyone right and then when it comes to the azar i get close to the base on english get close to the close of the question with the azara the mishna says that when they would stand up for the in the azar it would be really crowded but when they bow down then everyone have space so most explanation is that when you you know they get your ego you become obviously a lot smaller there's space for everyone the deeper idea is that when you negate your ego you become so connected to that that that spiritual stance of the azara that you defy the laws of space and time and once you get to the henghal then you start to defy the laws of time as well the bread would stay fresh for seven days it kind of defies the laws of physics laws of time once you get the kaloshokudoshima kumara says it doesn't make any sense that the the our own would have the same measurements as the whole room so the gemara answers that the arun has no dimension no measurements because first of all that doesn't make you know first of all the our own has to have measurements because the torah specifies this measurements then the gemara says it doesn't have measurements what does that mean and the answer is that what that in the conscious document there are no rules of time and space why because under the culture of darshan is the evan chasia that haven't you see it is where as khazal explained the physical world came into being the world as it was expressed through the eventually emanated from the evangelica the rules of time and space came into being from the evangelica the rules of time space do not apply where they come into being and therefore there are no laws of physics in the kosher condition which is why only the coin goes can go in any kipper when on your keeper we are all angels so to speak that's why we don't eat we don't drink we don't have attachments i mean we don't have relations we don't engage in physical things because we are angelic beings that's why we say bro out loud only malachim can say our lives but we were all white because we are angelicans the queen gathered represents all of christ on that day and he is the ultimate angelic being representing all of christopher who are all angelic beings and he goes into close secondary because only angels only non-physical beings the torah says that no man can go into the koshakudoshima anyam kipper the koen goddall is not a man is the root of reality of this physical world the evan shasia as well why why why is this important because the chauffeur takes us back to the root of reality beyond the laws of time and space and when we're in that dimension there's no problem of mentioning that because we're no longer in this world we have treats ourselves back to root and i'll tell you something also unbelievable number two in addition to that which is the khronos zikran is a memory the concept of because there's the khronos right basically it does the chronos chauffeur is like kosher dashing why because it takes us back to the ultimate beyond time and space it's it does chronos that kind of tracing back play something also unbelievable which i just thought of right now it's literally tracing back chauffeur like kosha kudoshim it's all that same concept of tracing ourselves back for ultimate beyond time and space and what is the ego the eagle is not tracing ourselves back to the ultimate route the eagle was either of the tsar mamash or you know some form of of of a little element of gaiva of trying to do it even though we weren't commanded it's not going to the ultimate rod zone it's not going to the ultimate source we've given sharon about batter hegel and what it really was or wasn't uh famous mahlokas between the richonam but the ego was a problem not going back to the ultimate route and the colossal notion so far as the chorus is going back to the ultimate route by going back to the mirror we get over the problem of the eagle wow like that is unbelievable by going back to the source we have overcome the problem of diego and these are really the rules of chauffeur here we have this is granos and really when we come to rosh hashanah you can really apply all these to the feel of rosh hashanah there's a harness for the akita and sourcing back to the roots of chauffeur which wake us up to really coming back to commit ourselves and connect back to hashem and sourcing everything back to hashem recognizing hashem is our ultimate root and overcoming din by recognizing koshbar who is the source of den but now let's come back to our original question what's the uniqueness of hell and we can speak about this for a long time we're not going to we're going to wrap up soon but once we understand that chauffeur is about sourcing ourselves back to our root we understand that lol needs to somehow connect to this l needs to somehow connect this in a deep way so the question is why do we blow chauffeur during elves so you might not know this but they're actually different and actually in barcelona there was this minhag to blow chauffeur from the 25th available not from the restaurant shell from 25th why because that's when the world was created right the first of tishrei is when man was created but the 25th of ello is when the world was created now obviously it's my whole guess whether it's you know world's created in tishrei or nissan which would mean 25th of l or 25th of other theoretically but without getting into the complexities because we you know we basically think like those who says that we'll make the decision to create the world in alolan tishrei and actually created it in nissan or other nissan according to what i decided so there is this idea that we blow chauffeur which is going back to the root going back to the russian of creation from the 25th of l which is when man which is when the world was created so that's one idea but there's another idea which we pass can like that we start 40 days before him kipper right so where's quarter shell why so as far as like this we're trying to combat it with azar because what happened there were 40 days where moshe went up on her sunday before he came down with the second lucho's onion kipper and when he came down even kipper hashem forgave us for the ego that's why yom kippur is the day of kabara which i would say the opposite based on what i mentioned earlier which is that no the reason why i figured it was named kippers because homekeeper is the day of kapara not that it became the day of kapara that is the root concept of yum kippur now what what what's what's up to the chauffeur so the tour actually mentions this that the chauffeur was blown during those 40 days to ensure that clydesdale didn't commit another heightened ego what does that mean so based on what we said it's obvious i mean what is this what's going on chauffeur connects us back to our route connects us both back to our ultimate source avatar is not going to the ultimate source it is betraying the the act of tracing ourselves back to hakash baruch and going to the intermediaries which we've explained plenty of times we're not going to go to a range right now but the ultimate route of zara is serving yourself which is not going back the route but just going to the intermediaries chauffeur is going back to the roots so the reason why we blew chauffeur during those days is to basically ensure that clay shell goes back to the ultimate and doesn't fall back into another diego but there is a third answer which is that it's not because the world was created on the 25th of the l sri lanka was not because we blew it for 40 days um to ensure that we didn't do it with our back when moshe went up on his scene again but it's that we do have l because l itself requires the chauffeur owl itself is as man is a month of awakening of sourcing ourselves back to kashbachu of connecting to our higher selves our root selves is asman of connecting to hashem as our makkah of falling in love with hashem falling in love with her falling in love with myself falling in love with clients we're following ourselves connecting to our best selves becoming the highest versions of ourselves it is a man of appreciating the fact that we are alive appreciating the fact that we have so much that we can do so much that we can become it is and listen like the aw of just being alive the realness of being in this world is unbelievable and that's what das is it's like the heightened awareness of existing of being of being alive of being in touch with yourself with akash with reality just heightening your awareness and becoming more intelligent becoming more aware becoming more active in achieving your greatness and that's what the chauffeur is about to wake us up back to just that simple idea of waking us up to who we truly are capable of becoming to who we truly are at root and to then come back down to this world and to achieve that to become that to earn it and there are so many hints of elo that ghazal that we've shown him pick up on the most classic is annealed that you know i am to my beloved my beloved is to me which is the idea of realizing the closeness and connection love relationship we have with hashem and there are ambassadors that relations between christians is a love relationship it's a marriage and just think about it the the way that the referred to the we're in this world to fall in love with the process and journey of connecting to hashem of fulfilling our purpose and it's a two-week relationship my nila do diva dodi li it's you know i move towards hashem and hashtag move towards me hashem moves towards me and one way of understanding is that once i move towards hashem hashem moves towards me like hashem is my set my shadow right sail there's a famous idea that shalham talks about shannon's shadow he responds to us media connected but there's another idea as well which is that once i give myself to hashem i realize that he was giving himself to me the whole time it's not a response it's a realization meaning that only once anila do the only ones i commit myself to hashem do i realize hashem already i'm alive i'm here everything in my life is a bracha i have a custard toffee i have a cursor toe for everything because everything's a bracha it's like once you stop thinking like what do i deserve you start realizing what you already have start realizing your whole life is a gift it's like it can be fluffy when all you hear is people saying hashem loves you hashem loves hashem loves you but he does he does and in the way talks about the hashem's creating you every instant and to create you he's willing and thinking you into existence which means that right now hashem is thinking about you and willing you into being into existence if you understand what that means that is unbelievable to understand who right now is willing your your entire essence into being it's like who are you thinking about right now how much do you think about other people how much do you you know will goodness into other people's lives gosh is doing that for you every instant of your life and that's not to give you muscle i mean it is like we should obviously be trying to improve and how we impact and care about other people and give to other people but just think about how much that means to you in your relationship with hashem when you dive in like you're now just connecting to that will that ruts on and you're connecting to yourself it's like i'll give you another example of an allusion to owl i don't want to get too sad we're going to close up in a couple of minutes but i want to know you know you kind of you torah is infinite and to give a shear really requires 25 hours at the least for an hour an hour and a half you know the more you go the the more breath the more wisdom the more you see and especially is recorded you can pause it you can re-listen i don't want to lose you but i just want you to see how brilliant torah is how amazing it is and how everything interconnects how it's just the most ultimate wisdom and torah torah is not a science it's more than a science it's a science in the sense that there's a system it's mythological it's it's brilliant it's it's systematic it's organized but it's much more than a science it's so much more than a science there's so much more than that can be categorized and interconnected it's the inner it's it's das it's the inner awareness of the awesomeness of torah and that leads us to our next our next allusion to elul which is that which is found by esther and then it connects to the zera so the first letter s spells and this is referring to what it's referring to the bris so frank to the bridge to the college borough who will ultimately circumcise our hearts our hearts which are currently hearts of stone they will become hearts of flesh and we will be able to deeply not only actively connect with shame but experience it as in we are think about how limited we are how much how much realness how much beauty how much wisdom how much love do you experience in your life we have hearts of stone we don't feel the love and wisdom and we don't cherish the church the opportunity of life it's the heart of stone which will ultimately become the heart of flesh and that's what elo is about it's about tapping into that higher awareness the higher experience that's tapping into that love with akash behold it really is that's l but the next word is what zaracha your children it's giving that over to the next generation everything that you've become everything you've created and there's a beautiful one of those asanas mentions that ello spells two words elul spells low and low spells low lamb to him he finds a beautiful allusion to this telling which we actually say in israel in chakras so he created us below it's like that there are classic nations in russia and torah thought that basically said we create ourselves i'm not going to go into all the details but you know amalek is one of them paro says like me hashem like who's hashem i created myself basically one approaches that probably said that so the nile was part of his god either he said that now create him or that he created the nile which really means that he created himself because the nile says god we're not going to get all the details but the idea is that who a son of lord knew you couldn't interpret that to me that curse and we didn't create ourselves we recognize hashem as our source but another understanding is who asanu he created us and we are to him our lives are devoted to him we want to connect with him we want to love and want to devote everything that we are to the rats to fulfilling our purpose the connecting to our source what's the beauty is that they're interconnected once you realize that you didn't create yourself once you realize that you are here for a reason someone created you put you in this world that you're not the source of your own reality you can start to realize that it's so beautiful to connect and not only connect passion but to commit to hashem and that's so much of what this is about it's committing yourself to a higher purpose to a higher reality it's saying that you know as amazing as i am where did i come from why am i here in this world what's my purpose what can i do what can i create and that's really what chauffeur is about chauffeur is about going back to our route it's about creating a oneness connection creating a deeper connection intimate connection with hashem it's it's this man the whole month of el isman of awakening it's not just the preparation for shannon it's that too but you have to identify l as a unique zman of chauffeur a unique amount of awakening a huge man of chuva of going back to our root of going back to hashem and there's so much more that we could talk about we could talk more about how hashem is our malcolm and the connection between your mikhla and el which we've mentioned in the past maybe we'll give a share on that in the future and there's a lot more we can talk about but the reason why there's 40 days from lcm kipper is this the idea of we are forming ourselves reforming ourselves recreating ourselves tapping back to our ultimate root mesha you know mesha are our fetal fluids are our fetal selves our ultimate root and we're coming out of that mikvah reborn you know you'll kipper we we experience our angelic selves the result of these 40 days 40 days of formation and my brother to all of us is that we should take full advantage of this all and we should create a concrete empowering vision for ourselves think about the ultimate year you can have i would say start with think about the ultimate life you could have and think about what this year the ultimate version of this year that would head you towards that ultimate life of what you can accomplish dream big and believe in yourself believe that you can do it so much of teshuva about creating amazing goals for yourselves about creating the ultimate version of yourselves is believing you can achieve the extraordinary that you may not have been able to do until now but that doesn't mean that you can't change and remember it's not about changing it's not about growing it's about becoming you you're not changing you're actually just becoming more in tune with who you really are and when you realize that shiva is about self-discovery it's not it's not self-criticism it shouldn't be a negative experience it should be the most inspiring experience there is a level of awe there's a level of seriousness but when you're inspired by that when you're inspired by growth when you fall in love with learning when you fall in love with growing and teshuva becomes a life's journey and it is and it becomes the most enjoyable life's journey it's my brother is that we should use this elo to turn our entire life into a continuous journey of growth and self-development of awe-inspiring awareness of our college of traced ourselves back to a root and we should listen to the chauffeur and be inspired to truly awaken not only to awaken practically so like you know oh my gosh like ello's coming rosh hashanah is coming home kipper's coming but to be woken up deep in our root in our internal selves and to be inspired to take the ultimate journey back to our ultimate self or ultimate root akaresh barucho
