Episode 4 BEYOND THE 7 with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] hey good day folks welcome back to our fourth lesson beyond the seven live from Jerusalem with rabbi Aaron David Poston I'm so enjoying this class folks he is taking the time to study to share specific things that are generally universal but beyond the seven and things that we can learn as Binet knoweth that we can integrate and I so appreciate him taking the time to pull all these sources discuss it with us tell us all about it so we can understand what is there and why it's there and it just makes so much sense I missed last week because I had things to do but I'm so glad that rabbi is hanging in there with us and I'm just gonna turn it right over to him and let him share what he's prepared because I'm appreciating this now this is live from Jerusalem so a rabbi posted how you doing today your live you've got the main screen how are you good Dan thank you so much of who at oath to all of the listeners wherever they are if they're already in the Far East where they're in Australia China Japan I don't know wherever you are Shavua Tov and if you're in Europe sugar Tov and if you're in America it's not yet it's not at the end of Shabbat so should we wart off anyway whoever you are maybe you're in Hawaii I have no idea but welcome I really want to welcome the listeners and I want to thank you Dan for allowing me once again this opportunity to share with your audience and your listeners the world I did would you say sorry I just want to thank the Noahide world Center in Jerusalem for allowing us to broadcast on their station you know it means a lot to me to be a bee work closely with them I think they're just wonderful people I think all of the nation Israel is but the eyes are looking towards Jerusalem and we're so glad that you sharing with us okay thank you so I wanted to start with an idea that came across through one was a private message in the same person posted on one of the Noahide sites an interesting message I want to share so one of the messages was isn't what I'm talking about it's called beyond seventh is that both ptosis in other words one of the 613 commandments is not to add to the Torah and I responded no we're not talking about God forbid we're not talking about adding to the turtle I mentioned several times this was already the fourth segment that there are seven categories okay even though we call them seven mitzvot as if they were seven very distinct Commandments it's not and I spoke about this several times other speakers do as well and whether they're thirty mitzvahs whether they're 66 whether they're even more it's seven categories now there's a way to go and discuss the subcategories in a way that is either we'll call it either horizontal or vertical what do I mean I was thinking making a graph to make it easier but I'll say it like this let's say you have the seven categories so you have all these subcategories and they equal like I said it could be 30 community six could be could be several hundred that they are that would be called vertical okay you're not going horizontal and adding anything you're looking deeply into what it means to not worship idols right there's so many details and categories the one could implement in their life by even though it's a heading of dog worship idols but like we saw Nick in the list that I gave earlier any of the 30 they were different it seemed like subcategories of Nevada worshipping one of the lists is dealing one of the seven categories is setting up systems of justice so there's a whole justice system is that some is each one in a different Mitzvah like is it a it's a part of that Mitzvah or is it distinctly maybe horizontal so I want to think it would like this that they are vertical they get the seven overreaching categories and you have many subdivisions I think when you talk about horizontal you're talking about beyond the seven okay in a different way so beyond the seven means don't think they're just seven mitzvahs there are many subcategories and that's what I mean when I say beyond the set there's so much more to being a righteous Gentile in Noahide you don't need to expand horizontally and start wearing to fill in or start keeping sure about like a Jew put those aside I'm talking vertically keeping within the seven overreaching categories there are so many details and now I want to read to you what this particular Saint same individual who wrote to me personally writes he feels that many of the rabbi's to teach are not focusing on a lot of the demian type obligations the things to do with justice but rather they're talking about prayer songs head-covering Sabbath maybe what do you call those the seer of some of the Kabbalah Mooser Passover candles different spiritual lessons dealing with Russian Hara and Olam haba you know what I'm gonna hopefully explain tonight why that is so important but what he says what should be done he says I don't hear enough Noahide leaders talking about laws of bribes assault conflicts of interest cruelty to animals laws of the pursuer how to pay workers paying wages on time rentals methods of payments employers responsibilities eviction emergencies driving and liabilities during driving billing okay on and on and on counterfeit issues and I agree with him I agree with him a hundred percent that most of the teachers are focusing on loser and I'm gonna tell you why it's so important to about Wilson it's true that somebody everyone's on a different level and everyone's on the journey and they're all in a different place I believe this is what beyond the seven is really going to be about what he spoke about you need to discuss and go into those subcategories deep I mentioned over and over again it's in percaya votes that a ignoramus cannot be a hustle remember I mentioned that one of the main things we're going to be doing on this program is Missy a lot you're sharing this is a book of moosa and every yeshiva any achieve the worth its weight has what they call a moose or seder you could be learning what's the word pill pool you can be learning even you can be learning tom booed six hours 10 hours a day in a very detailed way or even in a running way whether it's the cues trying to cover ground or try to go deeper that's fine and good but every achieve of worth its weight has a moose or sailor and the reason why the moose or sailor is so important i could talk for days and hours okay I'm gonna try not to I'm gonna try to get to my point it's the catalyst when we I can go through so many verses that discuss the idea and I have to find out so many papers on my desk here this idea it's the catalyst for proper to properly serve Hashem right if you go to proverbs 1:7 first chapter in proverbs they set the final sure please [Music] proverbs 1:7 the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline now we have spoken about the difference or maybe not even a difference but I'll use the word difference for now between the wise of the nations and the pie and the receiving of the nation's right I'll save in Hebrew Hoffner Oh masala that's wise and the Hasib a almost oh I'm the pious and it seemed from what we read that the pious have a much higher reward meaning they go to Olam haba and the huff mail mow the the wise don't get the reward in this world but not in the next I know it could be controversial because there is another way to read it actually the same the same person and shared with me and rough cooks writings and I actually spoke to somebody I'll just I do it as read my dove Cutrone he's the grand great-grandnephew of Roth cook and he he told me was correct in this this understanding of of cooked it seemed like riff cooked was understanding the Rambam in that particular Halawa that it was a cow of the home it was even more so that someone who amongst my own soul around you don't even need to say that he gets all my both Chrissy does which is a totally different reading than everything everyone else reads it and but rabbi could drum explain to me was this actually this person also believes in God he did come to a emotional or a metaphysical understanding but he's more interested in making sure that it makes sense and that's why he is considered amongst the wives of the nation's and he gets all my macaroons are of good and it's a higher level so based on that I just wanted to say that there's a lot about Hoffman that we have to know that the Hosmer you'll come right it's it's it's the ingredient you want to have the fear of Hashem God wants you to fear him look at Deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 12 I'd like you to read that Deuteronomy 10 verse 12 and now Israel what does the Lord thy God require of thee but to fear the Lord thy God to walk in all his ways and to love him and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul now this is a very interesting verse what does God really want of humankind I know it says Israel but it's human kind because we just saw in proverbs and if you go to chapter 111 in Psalms which you really have to read the whole chapter but it's the very last verse it's not long but before we get to that many and we just discussed this before is is it permissible or praiseworthy for North Heights to make blessings of praise right I mentioned that when it comes to a blessing over a mitzvah that may be problematic because part of the wording is God had commanded me sanctified me and separated me and commanded me so using those words when you do a commandment may be problematic but when you praise Hashem for the food you eat for the clothes you wear for whatever it is do you are feeling grateful to a Shemp or so of course you can pray as a sham so the word in what they meant what does God require of you even though you know that we have the vowels right so the word man means in what or with what does God require of you then we said it's fear the word King David had at the time he had counted the Jews and it was a plague and he realized it was an old tradition to say a hundred blessings a day this is the source he says been met what does God require of you not what does the mayor man means 100 God wants you to praise Him God wants you to make a hundred blessings a day and this is the tradition we have till today so I'm emphasizing the idea of fear and we've discussed this before there's different levels of fear right fear of punishment is a low level we're not referring to that right then there's love now the love could be the desire for reward the desire for closeness and therefore anything you do might prevent that so that's also a lower level then this next level I'm going to about and that's called Rose where you have this or you have this overwhelming love that is you just wouldn't want to hurt God you don't want to affect him negatively and you want this deep relationship this is going to be the highest level and it only is gonna come through knowledge it can only come through wisdom okay so going back to this originally original statement or if cooked yes it's true that if you believe and we discussed this in the the more insane Hedren that when it spoke about bilham rightly mentions that every Jew is replaced in the world to come and it mentioned I mean I have it here if I want to refer to it but it basically said that if you believe and I mean let me you know what I like to always have it try me about why you do it while I'm looking it up would you remind reading Psalms 111 and emphasize the lap all right start it says hallelujah I'll give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart and the counsel of the upright and in the congregation the works of the Lord are great sought out all of them that have delight there in his work is glory and majesty and his righteousness endures forever he has made a memorial for his wonderful works the Lord is gracious and full of compassion he has given food unto them that fear him he will ever be mindful of his covenant he has declared to his people the power of his works and giving them the heritage of the nation's the works of his hands are truth and justice all his precepts are sure they are established for ever and ever they are done in truth and uprightness he has sent Redemption unto his people he has commanded his covenant forever holy and awful is his name the fear of the Lord is the beginning of will I would I would did my translation says awesome I thought you said awful but ok the translation I'm reading does say I'm reading from me mom raid org rage that's what holy and awesome is his name I know it said awful is his name buddy thank you oh like oh okay I thought this is the next verses is the most important the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom a good understanding have all they that do thereafter his praise endures forever so it's not just talking about choose a a non-jew should understand in order to have this ultimate wholehearted relationship with Hashem to be upright you need to have this or you need to have this fear and so therefore it's very nice that we have this list of the and this is what I want people to learn they need to become wise you want to become a huset you have to have wisdom I mentioned already I'll just refer to it as in chapter 2 of perkier vault it's the sixth Mishnah he used to say this is my Hillel an uncouth person cannot be sin fearing nor can an ignoramus be pious you know so knowing that this is such an important catalyst to reach the level that we all want to get to it begins with fear now you also have to it's like it's like a it's a catch-22 I know if that's the word you have to have some knowledge to have the fear and you have to at some feared as the catalyst towards getting more knowledge okay so having wisdom is going to be or wanting to acquire wisdom is obviously going to be very important but this I thought a fear factor I'm if that's a proper but this is going to be a terror the main catalyst okay all right now the next thing I wanted to discuss and I want to reiterate this is from the nephews crime I read this already in two previous sheering it's very short but I think it's important he writes in his notes on chapter 4 in the first gateway that the relationship of a Jew to a non Jew is like that of the priest to a member of the congregation he serves as per the scriptural description of the Jewish people who are a malefic Kohanim the Kadosh a kingdom of priests and a holy nation so it's really incumbent I mean there's so many there's so much wisdom in the tower it's unbelievable it's like you a young kid is sitting and learning in yeshiva he's learning baba metzia but midsi a certain chapters dealing with lost objects or found objects that were obviously lost from its owner do you have an obligation to return the object and if yes how and when with wisdom every of the tercius so full of wisdom that if you I'm going to suggest this to the non Jew you really want to learn then learn listen to a class on returning lost objects you will be absolutely fascinated with the wisdom the rabbi is going to discuss in the Talmud how much of what type of article was left behind was it left in a way that was piled up or did it obviously fall you know and then how to return it right with wisdom you just put up a note found a certain item you don't give that much detail because the person has to then give you the clues or give you the 'cimmanon give you the signs because you just because someone comes to oh you found money oh it's mine you know how much was it what kind of envelope was in it what color envelope was in or was to you know you don't have to tell them it's an envelope how did you lose it what was it in they might say well okay well it's not yours because it was an envelope or whatever so it's I that yes these ideas are part of the subcategories of the seven overreaching and you should there's vast volumes okay so the bridge the bridge shalom book is unbelievable I have permission to quote certain things so I'll just take a few quotes in chapter 14 he quotes deuteronomy 6:18 you should do what is right and good in the eyes of the Lord and in meetin in the how do you say in English meet that same thing as six eight he has told you O man what is good and what the Lord requires of you only to do justice and to love goodness and to walk modesty with your God and the first thing he quotes is the verse we already quoted in Deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 12 what does the Lord your God ask of you only to fear the Lord and walk in all of his ways so what does it mean to walk in all of his ways just as God is merciful so - you should be merciful just as he is charitable so you should be charitable just as he closed the naked so you should close the net clothe the naked and the general principle is that a person should perform all his deeds and activities ethically and with integrity in a matter of the electives himself to the Creator walking in paths that are good and straight and this is very typical that we said that these books or the study of Mooser is going to be important because this is what will motivate you to go and look at the details right it's not just okay don't steal so I don't steal are you aware I'm talking to the audience here are you aware that if you're sitting at a table and there's a pen there and you just pick up the pen it doesn't belong to you and you use it you're stealing that pen belongs to somebody and I don't know how much it's worth I really don't know how much that drop of ink it's like it's almost in that I mean there's no value it's like nothing that it then Noah is really obligated even on the smallest cent and are a part of a 1 penny right for stealing you know waking up your roommate it's called steal sleep it's problematic can't even return it what about going into a store and saying to the no this is really crazy right sounds really nuts when I'm about to tell you but this is Jewish law the question is how does it apply to a non Jew you go into a store and you have absolutely no intention to buy and you say to the guy who the salesperson yeah I'd like to inquire about a certain item and you spend the X amount of everything there could be a minute after minute could be two hours and then you say thank you very much in you walk out so you wasted his time it's called stealing time it's actually worse than that your neighbor said that's you actually had his hopes up he really thought he had a sale meanwhile he's not spending time with a real customer now I'm not saying people do this but I have a feeling that let's say I was gonna open a similar business I walk into the store and I wanna I want all the answers I can get I have to be honest I have to say look I'm actually thinking about open your store right and I have some questions when you have time would you be interested in helping me you're the guy says yes or no how about you just you're just what's the word you're just pricing things so when you're going there you say oh I'm just pricing at least he knows you may not be buying I'm not gonna buy today but I'm pricing things anything he's gonna give you a good price or not a good price but if you just walk in there and start you know you wasting his time with no with no intention to but I'm not saying where you're in doubt with if the guy wins you over and you have the money and you know you're gonna buy it if it's the right price I'm talking so these these ideas this Ratish em every no tonight who's you know on the right path will understand but what motivates someone to realize it's the fear of a sham I'm either moving in the right direction or in the wrong direction rabbi I spent 25 years in the auto industry in sales and management and all I could say is yeah Saturdays there were some years Saturdays I made more than 50% of my annual income just on the Saturdays alone so you never took your weekend off you were always there but you didn't want to get stuck with that person that was there to waste time and I'm just gonna give you one example I had a real estate agent come in specifically asking to drive test drive a near new truck okay when I was a young man he wanted to drive into your new truck and so I tried my best to understand what he wanted and of course in his mind I couldn't go on the test drive with him but he left me you know his book is is keys to his vehicle and all kinds of stuff the point is I let him out at 9:30 in the morning and the store closed at 6:00 p.m. that day and he still hadn't returned wasn't answering my phone calls turns out he was using the truck to do some renovations and long story short it almost got me fired when I was a young man but there was there was deceitful intent and no intent to buy whatsoever he was just being too cheap to even go rent a truck and sadly that IIIi almost lost my job but it was I felt the the flat-out theft in the matter and I would never ever ever do that to somebody else but to hear you talk about that to me it just gives me solace but I think there's a big deep lesson that we all could learn now one of the women thank you so that's a great story it's right to the point one of the things I mentioned before is that even though we say there are seven categories there is an opinion and I think this is what we hope by there any of the 613 commandments that are logic based so that takes away all the who came right Oh illogic but they let's say they have no reason or they're specifically for the Jew so those mitzvahs those Commandments from God that are beneficial for society that people would have come to this conclusion on their own a Noahide as obligated okay so there's a tremendous amount when you realize that you then you will realize that there's a tremendous amount to learn you have to learn the Torah we discussed this before is is what part of the Torah can a nor Heidler so I came to the conclusion a tremendous amount they can learn so much of it is going to deal with their obligations and we're gonna get to that I'm going to review that part of the grimoire again because I know the Rambam quotes it but we're gonna actually look at the Gomorrah that the Rambam is basing it on so I just want to take you now a little bit towards this idea of how much important knowledge is I want to go through three or four I think I went through these before but I think it's a Gordon Deuteronomy chapter four verses six through eight right it's talking about the way they see the Jews behave you shall keep them and do them for that is your wisdom and your understanding in Hebrew hoosh Martin the aceton he who hath not ten will be not ten but it's what it's in the eyes of the people the people must be able to have seen it or perceive it and all who hear these statutes what will they say right Lena me my sure you should moon as color cooky mihaylo the honor and they're gonna say Rock I'm Holcomb Verner von hugga hugga Dahl is that wow what an incredible nation right a reading Hebrew only this nation is a wise and understanding people for what a great nation is there that has God so near to it that's the next verse key Medes going God oh gosh LOL oki microvilli love Hashem located with kocher a know or love write that as the Lord our God is at all times who call upon him and now the last line of this series and which great nation is it that has just statutes and ordinances as this entire Torah if he says clearly the non Jew is acknowledging colva Torah look at me bro cold hot or cold how do they know how do they know that the entire Torah I'll tell you how because they studied enough of what makes sense they kept to what they were supposed to learn about all these Mishpatim all these Dini all the missiles made other arrow and they understood that if I can understand this and this makes the most sense and this is the most correct path as we said missile T sharp the path of will just then for sure all those hooking which I don't understand and I'm not obligated to understand I believe these as well because there's no obligation for them to learn beyond what I discussed we're gonna bring the gun more in a second no obligation doesn't mean they can't we'll have to discuss how ok so that's the first one I want to show you Zakaria chapters eight verses 22 to 23 many people's and all powerful nations will come to entreat the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem and to pray before the Lord so said the Lord of Hosts in those days we don't know things are talking about must be the end times but the end times are high are here when 10 men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the garment of a Jewish man saying let us go with you we have heard now in Hebrew the word heard Shimano is not literally literally and restricted to just hearing it's understanding it's part of acquiring wisdom is to understand let us go with you for we have heard that God is with you nail cutting cam let us go with you in others they want to attach themselves to the Jewish people because they understood that God is with them beautiful I had a I'm not a good storyteller that's why I like to read text a lot but I couldn't I looked all over the internet and I know I read it in a book I thought maybe someone would quote it somewhere so I'm gonna do the best I can there's some journal that went to a guru was living in some commune in India and he really became like the top notch guy he was like number two and he walked with his guru or everywhere and the Guru bent down and picked something up he's picked up the lost object and the Jews said would you why aren't you going to return it he says no God gave it to me that's it this Jew realized there's something wrong with the picture and he went back to Jerusalem and he became religious I know I didn't tell the story well cuz this this always the German so you know with when I was telling you that when a young student young Jewish student is sitting in Michigan he's learning this Bubba Matt see about lost objects I mentioned this already at the end it says why was the Jewish people exiled from Jerusalem why did we why was Jerusalem destroyed because they only kept the Torah and it was like all my friends were reading this girl I mean isn't that we're supposed to do know the actual storyline goes that we were supposed to go beyond the letter of the law after learning this entire chapter about when to return objects and when you don't have an obligation to return the bottom line is even if you're not obligated you would still do it because that's the right thing to do that's unbelievable and that's the Hassid dude that's we're talking about here as being a huset is going beyond the letter law when i said beyond 7 we're not talking about going and the vertical and trying out all these other misses within the 7 there are so many things that you could do what I would call beyond the letter of the law so you know it's the right thing to do and you have no obligation to do it do it anyway now let me tell you this may sound very harsh but one of the rules are when it comes to returning objects for a Jew it depends who's in the neighborhood so you find this lost object but it's a mainly Gentile neighborhood so you have either little or no obligation to return an object but if it's a Jewish neighborhood so again there's a lot of variables you may have to return the object the question is why why should it be that when you're not in a Jewish neighborhood the obligation is diminished or it's less or not there at all so basically what our commentators tell us is that the Gentiles they don't return objects so they don't explain they don't expect it to be returned if it's a non-jewish neighborhood they assume that a non Jew founded and if the non Jew found it it's already no longer in that they believe it's stolen the whole idea of needing to return an object or not is if the original owner still retains any hope of ever retrieving it that's called stealing if something was made healthcare healthcare means we're not talking about something with the sign of the name and an address and a phone number and something that could be used to identify the object we're talking about a regular object that everyone else has right so basically what it comes down to is that the Jew if it's a Jewish neighborhood they would return it and if it's a non-native Jewish it's a non Jewish neighborhood the assumption is and this may be wrong I could you know but the rabbi's are probably not wrong that there's no ownership over the the Gentile item because as long as the owner the original owner ever had any hope of retrieving it then it's called stealing but if it was made Heffner like I have some books and I want to you know what I do and I want to get rid of some things I put it next to the garbage collection agency and anybody knows they will they walk by the garbage and they see some clothes or some books that it's refitting take yeah so this idea of stealing means that you only feel something that belongs to somebody if it doesn't belong to anybody it's not close feeling so since I mean it's really crazy and maybe it's not true maybe our world has changed so much that the Jewish idea has penetrated the world vis right to Shem is is that the goal that even a non Jew should even if in a non-jewish neighborhood if he loses an object that he would still hope to get it back because he knows that the people who he lives with would return it so that would be like the I it's the ideal faith so yes that would be beyond the letter of the law hopefully enough Gentiles would come to this understanding that an even if it's not obligated to return it and it's not stealing to keep nevertheless it's the right thing to do and that could change the whole girl yeah well we see occasionally you know people put up a lost poster let's say like and they they lost a pet or or lost a watch or something to them that they honestly have the hopes of it getting returned if they put up in in the newspaper or you know social media today I lost this if you're in the area please if you find it you know so would somebody have an obligation to at least check the or would that be going beyond the letter Olaf used to say you walk down the street you found a watch something you that actually has value but there's no direct name on it would you know I think there's loss I know that police generally I'll carry a lost-and-found for 30 days or something like that if it's not claimed they'll give it to the person that found it there's some honor in that yeah I don't know we'll have to go and deal with that particular law individually but I just gave you the general concepts okay so in terms of going beyond the beyond the letter of law as far as I know at this moment yes for a non-jew to find something in a non-jewish neighborhood that I'm gonna call under script it wasn't placed there it wasn't left there intentionally it could have fallen the assumption is that the person had lost hope by the time he got home he realized it had fallen there's no way I'm ever gonna get it back most likely there's no thievery involved but the most appreciative thing the most correct thing is to find a way to at least return it figure wait to return it whether it's putting up a sign it depends what the value is it's very valuable you maybe you'll spend a little bit of money to put in an ad in a newspaper right again that's called going beyond the level you have no obligation now what I want to do is to read a story about rabbi Pincus vania here because he is what the Masucci shrine has based his entire thesis on was this particular rabbis brighter than the tonight statement it goes through the ten different you know from he roads from being careful with the Mitzvahs all the way so Hesse dude and prophecy and all that rule confession ret raising the dead that was rabbi Pincus been yet here so I just want to remind people who he was and this is Miss Illinois charm is basing it on that I wanted to tell you about a story so this is like I told you I'm not a good Street but when I come across a good story in in in the writing so then I I would be happy to share it now I just have to find it okay let's see what it starts over here it talks about his PT his piety repent go spend your saintly saintly saintliness is legendary he never ate food given to him by someone else why do you think that is I would have thought okay maybe he doesn't trust their that kashrut maybe it's not kosher no it says he was it was out of concern that perhaps the person didn't have enough food for himself where maybe he didn't give it wholeheartedly right a lot of people might give something because they saw someone else give but they didn't really want to give or maybe the person really doesn't have enough so out of piety he says no you keep it you just denied it moreover from the day that he matured intellectually somebody soon that might be six seven years old he didn't even benefit from his own father's table okay now this is the story I wanted to tell there were two Parker's too not so wealthy people who came to repentance Bay meters town to seek sustenance meaning they went the charity collecting and they had bags of barley now the barley I assume was seed that could then be planted so there were two saw yeah that means a measurement that could plant a certain amount in in an acre anyway when they left the city they forgot to take their barley with them guess what they came back seven years later and said I think we left our barley here but what happened in the meantime this is it is repenteth been year planted the barley he harvested the crop he piled it he stored it and continued to do so every year after year after seven years the men returned and asked for their barley repentance responded ready for his response it kind of like makes me want to cry shed a tear because if you know these people are in need it's Anakin he knew it was theirs he could have just returned the value of that barley the truth is according to the letter of the law he could have just say the barley was worth $20 so seven years later he could to give him $20 worth $20 he told them to bring your camels and your donkeys to take your barley and those you left two bags but what I'm returning to you is a truck these are the kinds of things that I wanted that's exactly what this particular person mentioned what about justice right beyond those are obviously there are things that are obligatory and then there's things that are beyond the letter of the law this is an example of going beyond the letter of the law okay if there's a story about his donkey the famous donkey of PIMCO's vignette here okay let me try to see goes like this this is what people said about this man they don't say this about you and me Dan or at least it'll say about me baby maybe they'll say it about you they talked about the scholars of earlier generations so they said if the earlier scholars were the sons of angels were just the sons of men and if they were the sons and men then we're like donkeys and we're not even like the donkey of Pincus venya here because he's not like any other donkey so the Talmud tells us what was so extraordinary about this donkey that belonged to Pinto spending a ceramic Pinkas many are servants one gate once gave the bunk the donkey barley they gave him barley he refused to eat it the donkey refused to eat the bar they reported this to repent this been a year and you know what he asked them did you tithe the barley and ha ha ha you don't need to tithe barley but you give to your donkey but the the donkey of pinkness been year was so holy he wouldn't even eat you understand cuz the donkey hung out with this guy he hung out with his rabbi and it's only a donkey anyway I don't need to tell you anymore this gives you an idea of the pity the the the cussing dude the going beyond the letter of the law of such a person people from the nation's grabbing ahold taking hold of the skirt of the hem of a Jew and saying you know we will go with you we've heard that God is with you if a donkey could could in that story could ascertain that you know being around this this pin Hoss you know if it rubbed off on him you know if people would just you know grab ahold of the hem of a Jew saying you know let us go with you I'm confident that the righteousness that the justice the mercy that it will rub off and we'll make this world a better place wow what a story yeah Wow very nice so here there's two more verses I want to speak about you know I mentioned these are ready but this is um something we should never forget you should be on the tip of our tongues especially for Noah kites who are confronted by either Christians or people who don't let's say don't trust this seemingly new movement this is not a new movement law but Jeremy 6th Jeremiah of 1619 very famous where the nation's basically realized that they have been lied to right Oh Lord who by power my show you can read it Jeremy I'm Jeremiah 1619 go ahead I would rather have you read just turn my mic up back up for the people 616 verse 19 Oh Lord my strength and my stronghold and my refuge in the day of affliction unto thee shall the nation come from the ends of the earth and shall say our fathers have inherited nothing but lies vanity and things wherein there is no profit yes so anyway the word nation it's nations it's in plural in Hebrew the Goyang javo they obviously are the nation's are going to come from the ends of the earth so it's plural and they're gonna say we basically been handed down lies right this prophecy is not yet happened in mass but there are definitely individual two coming forward and realizing the emptiness right this is this is just pure emptiness now just going to go back to the to the Zechariah 8 22 25 22 23 it's simple math there are 10 from the different languages we understand there are women we see languages look at the Hebrew it says me called Lashon nota going from all the different languages amongst the nations so there are 10 no there are 70 there are 70 nations so now you have ten men from each of the 70 nations which makes it seven hundred seven hundred non Jews will come and hang where the cana 'the the great point to the corner of the HUD says issued a d by the way that's a whole nother story but okay so they will hang on to the how many corners does that you have on this garment for so now yeah what do we say there was 700 times for there's gonna be 2800 so my message really is to the Jews that are listening you better start learning the Torah because you're gonna have 2800 disciples you're gonna have people who so eager to learn right that look let's look at the next verse on when you look Habbakuk chapter 2 verse 14 chapter 2 verse 14 yeah yes 2:14 says for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea so look what does it mean again back to the word knowledge and we talked about hakama wisdom but here it's das okay there obviously is a difference between das and wisdom the sand and hokhmah but nevertheless the world the world will be filled with the knowledge and the glory of God and this is what we're looking forward to and I know that we think it's only the jeweller's responsibility and I see that non-jews are taking responsibility as well and Baruch Hashem you know through the internet and all these different social medias and whatnot books are being written laws are being passed in government's is radishchev these laws of justice as this person had mentioned you know I just love his list you know dealing with all these justice issues they they have to be dealt with at some points I don't know how it's gonna happen because the Jew has always been the last person you go to to find out anything but things are turning around right the kuzuri he right I mention that's a great book I suggest people buy it read it take from the library I don't know where you can get ahold of it but this King had a philosophical issue he believed in God but he wanted a program of how to live his life and he went to the Jew and the Jew and they had this conversation and the conversation ended listen he did convert it's according to the story but it's irrelevant the point is that he was able to as an individual he was able to see the wisdom in the Torah and he himself adopted it and according to the tradition his whole nation converted or accepted you know the Torah way of life so that's that's something significant so he played a great role so too many Gentiles are waking up and also gonna play the great role that's my blessing to you off there's a few things I wanted to do I mentioned about the Gomorrah I wanted to go through in Sanhedrin page 59a I don't know what to do first is a book here it's called the drush of Tehran okay so it's in chapter 5 basically it's the fifth russia i only want to read the beginning I just wanted because he also mentions this Mesilla the ashari idea and the chapter is basically how to reach a chief prophecy how does one remember even the in the seal - I'm getting the Ruach Hakodesh having the Spirit of God on you is one of the last results one of the last of the consequences if you're going on this path so I want to read it's like a very short paragraph but if there's a lot of depth and then we'll go to the Sanhedrin Gomorrah you know okay now in a Gomorrah called nadar II it mentions the Holy One blessed be he rests his presence which is called the prophetic spirit only on a person who is wise mighty wealthy and humble so in Hebrew we'll say like this that the the the scheana will only rest on someone who is a ha ha very important in our Commerce a gabor someone who's strong a shear wealthy enough so humility is also listed in this towards the end of Rabbi Pincus been years brighter correct so let's just read the dresser rod okay so he's basically talking about these ideas are being personal qualities you have to work on your character I can't reiterate this enough and I'll say it the Vilna Gaon says the purpose of life is to corner me dot my wife reminded me today we read something else where he uses the word schmear a tummy tuck which means breaking of the bad character right great so it's not only and maybe this also fits in with our idea of going beyond the level law turn away from evil and do good that's what it says so it's not enough just to turn away from evil but also to do good so Shearson how me those means to break the bad character traits but t kind of meanness to fix them so these also go hand in hand so that's the purpose of life that's why God created us okay lets me it is clear and known that since the Shem blessed be he desired for the sake of Israel's righteousness to expand the Torah for the sake of their merit in other words we say that God gave us 613 let's just like this he gave us six hundred and six additional mitzvahs he gave us more than the rest of the world because he wanted to give us more reward he wanted to increase our righteousness our merit it was necessary in any event that a man among us should prophesy what is the purpose of a prophet it is to rebuke it is to help people guide them back to the straight path let it to let us know the laws of Hashem blessed be and what he desires us to perform this is my message to those Gentiles who hope to change the world you wanted you can be let go say prophet base you could be on the level where you have ruach ha'qodesh where you'll be able to help people understand and what they're doing wrong right you want to be able to do that you have to fix yourself first it's all gonna be about working on your own self because nobody's gonna listen to you if you're immoral like this guru guy right that I mess the story up but I tried I think every way for without the gift of prophecy mankind would be incapable of discerning the divine will so the goal is not just for the Jew but for mankind to discern God's will which is the seven categories and all their details okay so there are going to be leaders to have to be leaders within the Gentile community within the Bnei Noach community who are going to take a leadership role and teach as you'll soon see the seven Noahide laws we already have rod Bryant in in Texas yet so many other people that are doing from you so many other people are doing such great work to get the word out there's no doubt that the man who receives prophecy must be truly perfect in moral and intellectual virtues he has to work on himself morally and intellectually meaning this really ties in with that whole question what did Ruth cooked me he means both you have to have Kozma but you have to have morality and morality only comes from God or at least the most perfect that can be found among mankind therefore Ravi on a son who is the author of this price that we just mentioned the darian explains here that before the Spirit of Hashem bless becomes upon the Prophet he has to attain perfection in these four areas which creat I'll just reiterate he said it is it is a wisdom might wealth and humility now the might and wealthy issue is going to be problematic for the ron because where does that fit in with personal development right if I'm wise okay that's because I worked to figure something out we're from humble I worked on my character but might that's like physical might or wealth what does that have to do with character development it's a great question that he asked so he says two of which are perfections in the matter of his salt which is the intellectual which is the wisdom and moral virtues which is the humility but the and the other two which are more like human matters it's more material right whether it's the physical light or being wealthy she says now there's no question that Ramona's son says a prophet must be wise which includes all the intellectual virtues and and enough oh by the way this is the side point are you aware I hope people are aware that there are seven types of wisdom in the world there's a mission it is both but there's a mission err this says that if someone tells you that there's wisdom amongst the nations believe them but if they say that there's tour amongst the nations you don't have to believe that so I just wanted to mention because I'm reading this piece on the skirt the homer and it mentions about the seventh wisdoms that exist so let me find the page I know it's here you have the candelabra you have the menorah so you have the one in the middle that's the real light and that's gonna be from the Torah but you have other medical disciplines of wisdom that somebody asked me today what do I think about secular wisdom I said there had another I don't know I don't think of it as secular I think that every wisdom that I'm gonna list here is in order to understand the Torah better right physics philosophy astronomy medicine music and mathematics those are the other six branches of wisdom and Torres in the center everything you should use and you should use in order to make the target greater or to understand the Torah deeper it's all there so it's amongst the nation's they have that they just have to use it hopefully in the right way okay so going back so now there's a there's no question with Rob Jana son meant when he says the Prophet has to be wise this he means to conclude all the intellectual virtues and when he says a prophet has to be humble so this includes all the moral virtues so the sage attorney said in tractate avodah Zarah 20 be humility is the greatest attribute of them all now this was part of that original Brice the tonight statement of Rabbi Pincus Ben your ear he's quoting it here so it goes on could not have done so without first acquired purity this is like the list and holiness and the fear of sin and the rest of all the moral virtue is lifted here listed here so in order to get the humility it already includes all the other things that are mentioned in our very important brighter that's brought in the introduction to the path of the just and there's no doubt that these virtues perfect the sole and separate him from the lower world and Keith us please to the upper world which is called intelligence now think I want to explain what this means but let me just read the words he thought leaves to the upper world which is called active intelligence until he's capable of prophecy so the word in Hebrew Satyam literally means intelligence you have to use your discerning ability you have to to understand the world and especially for the Noahide but I I have a different way of understanding the word say huh the maja uses the word say huh as spirit it's spiritual the Rambam uses the word saeho as pure intelligence and perhaps that's where he comes up with the word active intelligence and I'm gonna read this the footnote here in a second but I in my humble opinion translate the word Seco neither way but both as your spiritual intellect since the Nara calls it a spirit and the Rambam calls it intellect and I believe both are correct you go ahead you wanted to say something ya rabbi I've read lessons along this line that actually go all the way back to the time of the children of the prophets during the time of Elijah and yet even further that they had to master intellectual virtue is the way I was told intellectual virtue and overcome intellectual flaw and it seems to be exactly along the line they also had to master character virtue and character flaw and it was considered a character flaw to think you master character virtue no I'm told that this goes all the way back and to hear you link this to the sources that actually cite exactly what was required to be a prophet it is so logical more than logical it's on that level beyond you know rationale into pure intellect and genuine thank you for sharing thank you so look I just want to reiterate that those the question at hand is what about those middle traits strength wealth so there are a perky a vote that says who is strong on who is a keyboard one who overcomes his evil inclination so you would think they're not going to take it out of its context the Prophet probably was physically strong but I'm not so sure it was necessary I think more important is the character development of working on your yet Sahara you and your evil in the nation the other idea of wealth Pirkei avos says who's rich one it was happy with his lot meaning again it's a spiritual not necessarily materialistic wealth so I just wanted to conclude that one idea now let's go into this Gomorrah who's gonna take a little bit of time but this is very controversial [Music] now let me I'm gonna try my best at this point to head off any problems that we quoted we're gonna be quoting and this Gomorrah this is insane Hedren but it's also one second there's another Gomorrah in Nidoran now hadarom was we're talking about the vast sea if Tom would even though there's only 36 tractates there's actually an order there really is an order okay and the Dharam comes after Sanhedrin okay so the halacha is going to follow the latter it always goes after the latter later in time and it's going to be different or we have to understand what it means why we're gonna go after the one in the dark just keep this time we're in the same tension right now and the question is asked or let's say the statement is said by Rebbe Jochen on that had non Jew I'm unions were going this case although we're gonna see the proper terminology is actually another worshiper an idol worshiper whose only sake the Torah who involves himself in Torah is worthy of the death penalty and the gomorrah quotes a verse that the torah was given or commanded to us by moses as a more russia as an inheritance to the congregation of jacob so it says to us as an inheritance but not to them and this is the reason why again the question really will be in the text is it idol worshiper is just a regular guy happens to be in the Dharam it's gonna quote the word oh they Coco theme and not going okay but anyway we'll go on so the question the guar says why not list this amongst the seven Noahide laws if you're going to tell me that a non Jew if Heath's is in Oh safe batteries mamas really involved in Torah he is going to be punished why is it not listed let it be listed with the seven laws so news will go through this quickly the gamora discusses two possibilities because it was already listed what do you mean well one is stealing they're not let us steal and it's considered stealing because it was a gift to the Jewish people or what about forbidden relations the word more Raja even though it means an as an inheritance it was given down but it it could be read as murasa which means betrothed so if they're going to be involved with a betrothed woman we're not yet married it's she's only betrothed it's still problematic and it's under the laws that were already given now this is where it gets interesting because we read the Rambam I mentioned at the beginning about the laws of Kings that brings this down at the same time you have the laws of shmita yoga which is shite and to this week's partials relates to the sweet Martian Bihar buco tie that is a non Jew who dedicates himself to learning Torah is like a cawing doddle how can that be so this is read this is the Gomorrah that says it's brought down and up in a brighter says Rebbe mayor now Rebbe mayor is going to be significant because we know a certain opinion of his which we'll talk about Shirley he says midnight Sheffield how do I know that even a non Jew and this is where it's listed non Jew not idol worship and that's gonna be the difference okay we're gonna have to expand on this a little bit that the non-jews aiesec Patara whose mom is involved in Tara he's considered the level of a high priest and the answers given from a verse and we're gonna have to deal with this verse now it's in Leviticus 18 5 the verse said smart MS Foucault tie are you gonna guard my statutes that Mishra tie my laws I'll share yes sir oh somehow Adam the high BAM which shall a man do in them and live by them so it says ha Adam it doesn't say Israel it doesn't say corny blue theme where Israel either but it doesn't say Israel that's really I'm gonna make that the point it could have said Israel but it says haha Dom that a man does does them and live by them so the very fact that it says hard um man that happens to include non-jews so what do you learn from this this proves that even a non Jew not a not a knight a worshipper but a non Jew and I'm more basing this on the on the language of Nidoran right to show you that this is really the way to read it when it came to an idol worshiper it's problematic for him because most likely he's either been imposter as a Jew thing and leave the wrong way which we have today in in Israel we have this TV station that is messianic it's problematic but over here we're the Kohen Gadol it's an it's a regular it's already a guy who's no longer worshiping idols we'll call him a been off he's given up by the worshipping so he is no longer considered a no vehicle hobby and his own sake the Torah is like a Kohen Gadol now there is one more line that's very important because the course still answers over there meaning over here in the bracer the Rebbe memorable oaken on the original one he's talking about for the la caja being he should be involved only learning the mitzvahs the seven misses okay now I just wanted to mention a few points why is this verse talking about it's talking about learning tour even though we said we start off with a third grade learned Torah and it brings this verse he's like a con gato because it says push Martin the words bouche Martin at cocoa time you shall guard my statutes this is referring to Misha Misha is oral torah already so a non juice seems to be that if he was on the right path he can go and learn beyond just a seven okay but let's not even go let's just say it's not a prompter in learn Torah and certainly he should be learning beyond the seven meaning vertically so many so many laws ok what I want to assure you was there's just way too much here but we'll do it anyway that if you think that there's a problem with lift naive or putting a stumbling block before the blind that's been discounted by Kostas there's no problem of putting a stumbling block before the blind because he can certainly learn Torah from other people he could open books whatever it is but there's no problem for many many reasons why a Jew cannot teach him that you can teach him time one of the reason why it's not we're talking about the righteous Gentile why it's not problematic also it's not the problem of Gaza Gaza again that means thievery it's a little bit love dish a little bit complicated but basically it's only if the person is taking away something if there's nothing being taken away then there's no there's no Gessle here as i mentioned about the pen when you borrow that pen and you use some of the ink it's gone it's gone forever but there's no Gessle there's no real Gessle here ok it's a little complicated I don't know if I want to spend that much time on it this is the most important immediately the miry and the customs so for that those names you should know well the mere he says there's no forbidden act for a going to learn Torah album came who Isaac bar only if he has no intention to fulfill the prime mrs. Arriba Hebrew ain't is Allah got Lagoo lumo Torah le in cane hoop I Sigma shallow the qivana cubic re-emits kata Ella Shelly becau fates Leo rate the authority no the Tamil Taney but his heart desires to bring down the knowledge of the Torah and all of its learning but the reason for the isser why would it be forbidden Kishori sigma Bothans a if he involves himself in this way that he holds she so driven a a dumb show you who t that he makes people think that he's Jewish me touch her Roy Moto's that they see him she do it at Torah they see that he knows the Torah we although the two top arrive and they're gonna follow him and make plenty of mistakes that's the problem Ivo immersing bhavish will the Calle me carry Mitzvahed ability start learning the Torah in order to learn the prime purpose of the mitzvahs aimed Isaiah so there's no forbidden nature at all Koscheck and how much more so in Limu de who'd al dot Laveau odd chocolate slain with the Torah how much more so is he permitted to learn if his whole intent is to come to perfection the goal is to perfect himself in Torah in order today she meets a new Schlemmer yasser the agai air aimed as a is her if his whole goal is to find the truth basically and to do true ver and perhaps even to to convert but again what does that mean to convert there's no mystery at all the yoader in a second the kind increments finish ma the main goal it's even better if his involvement is to fill the midst this for the sake of god that is the me eerie there's a few other interesting pieces but i want to go to the custom sofa okay he writes the way he understands the Rambam and this is going to put together the the more that we learned because of its Masha Masha Issa ashleeta remember in the Rambam it seemed to say that in non Jew learning Torah keeping Shabbos is problematic he says it infers according to the Rambam where he understands it that the forbidden nature of keeping Shabbos or learning Torah or fulfilling all the other mixes in the term besides the seven is only by a who is an idol worshipper but Abed know us who's no longer worshiping idols is permitted to keep Shabbos again according to me means voluntarily not like a Jew and to learn Torah again learning Torah deep on the seven laws and perhaps other mitzvahs that he wants to fulfill Olek I am sure mitzvahs mitzvah cetera were to confer fill other minces from the Torah the kitab shall no fees at me o Chabot Khushi attack Amarth now he explains why there's no real question in the gomorrah it actually resolves why we don't count the another one of the questions was why isn't Shabbos one of the seven laws they can't keep or why is the learning Torah why did they count that as one of the laws it's not counted why in at all in the Torah of the the seven laws Inara came on shana a soaring le law or even are you are you think or you later Zahra it's only forbidding to someone who's an idol worshipper but not to a bed Nowak shall only been no Akshay no or you day voters are it's not forbidden this is the hussam sulfur it's not forbidden for been naughty Shabbos to learn Torah just to do any of the other menses it's only forbidden for someone who is an idol worshipper and now he claims it's clear in the Rama who brings this law from the language of the Gomorrah of Mathari that the hey big flower that non-jews are including this concept called they do but they're not obligated that's what I say over and over again you're doing it but you have to realize you're not obligated I need so many people who are confused they look at the turret without any instruction from Jews and they think they have to not eat work they think they have to you know go to Jerusalem say year whatever they made up the religion they remember a makka - nothing that's why i say the only real way to learn is to learn through jewish sources so what it says that non-jews are including the carrier to do and not to do that's regarding the midst of Shabbos it's voluntarily they can only keep it on a voluntary basis which infers maschmann shame land is searched Vita Ella Shan and mature macaque they have no issue of keeping shoppers but they have to realize they're not obligated from here huh that's the whole point of banana like yes we can annoy see Chirac idea but as IRA moose hiring shallow leash both this is the custom surfers understanding and I want you to know I had this conversation with Rabbi Goldberg and he says this bridge alarm is based on this custom so forth okay it's only the idol worshiper who's not allowed to keep Shabbos of the stop but non-jews who already gave up I know where I should there ain't no our youth a voter's are they're no longer idol worshipers Eynon MacLeod is to do isuzu they're not at all included in this forbidden nature and now this is the most important part Sokka Sylvia Gomorrah Ben and Darian the constant surfers understanding the Rambam has passed coming the way the language is this same to more insane tangent appears over there in the Dharan locus su Gege mark on right that the language isn't the same because it's a little bit ambiguous but over there it's much clearer because he says missus nazar it McDonough Dharam was compiled more later who are your tears later than all the other receptors and shots and we always go after the halacha that came last that's how the asking yes so I hope that was quite entertaining but you're getting to the heart of the whole matter and how it literally plays out to the non Jew to the 70 nations I think if they grasped exactly what the message from Hashemi is and perform what they understand and understand that they're do what they do is non obligatory but do it for the right reasons they haven't crossed any boundary they haven't violated they haven't profaned but it's it's those that want to pretend they're something they're not and literally steal as you begin to even share where lines get crossed and and and you know the morality gets blurred and when is it animalistic taking versus something pure and holy and honest as Hashem intended so that true honest relationship with him exists there's beauty in Judaism I just wish the 70 nations would grasp this right to shame they will slowly fall heed what I wanted to say was I kind of understand without the knowledge the fear is misplaced so what we need to do is set the the order straight and then the fear can then be used in a proper and healthy way you know I hear that oh I don't know what to do I hear this I hear that so the more knowledge they have the more the fear would be in the in in the right place okay and that's what we hope to get it to the highest level of a moment Roman root of all and not you know anyway I want to I want to mention that rabbis go back gives a great introduction I could never do it he gave it had been more than an hour sheer I don't know just on the introduction to the wrong house book of the book of the just put up again while you want this has more notes okay I suggest to get this but I'm not try the class on I don't get any money I don't get any money from feldheim or arts grow but I do find that this has a better notes okay more notes so I want to I want to stress that everyone should listen in I don't know where I put it but at least on my website which I put this series I gave a link to his introduction but I think if you put into Google search or into youtube search rabbis go back introduction to and around Kyle Orton path of the just you should be able to get it but if you go to my website I see you pull up and Gibbon it calm there's a little link somewhere to beyond the seven I think that's what I labeled it and there you'll find the link just as well okay so let's today and hopefully we'll get through I have to tell you the truth just like a paragraph and a half and then we'll skip I don't know if there's not much to do but if you listen to his introduction we're gonna have to spend that much time it's so thorough it's just really unbelievable yeah I don't know where I'm going with this because I want to get to chapter 18 and I haven't decided whether to go through each step all the way because it's so important or just to go like introductory to the introduction and then skip to 18 I haven't decided yet but let's do the first paragraph at least so the ROM cow is giving this the groundwork for a spiritual program so says the author I did not compose this work to teach speech to teach people what they do not know this is also so it's humbling for him he's gonna tell us that he's telling you what you already know so that's the last thing someone was trying to sell a book would put in but what he's really tell you is these are things people take for granted and now everybody knows it meaning your soul is this makeup of what's right and wrong you know it but you need to constantly review it you need this motivation this catalyst to constantly be in your daily activities so that you will make the right choices but you have to take these step by step by step to eventually get there where you're able to be strong enough to make the right choices and as I say mentioned why did I find this hole because if we're talking about as a he wrote his first his first chapter is a hero which is the actual language the Rambam uses which is the actual language repent linear uses that means to be worn as and to be careful and towards the end he uses the word classy dude and that also the Rambam says these two different types of non-jews one is just wise and he's probably Zaheer he's probably careful but the person who's going to be a huset he I think again he's going beyond so he's let's say incorporated both the intellect and the spirit he's taken both the wisdom and the piety right this the spirit part and he's combined into and I think that's really the goal I hope that's the goal of whoever is listening and if it isn't the goal then perhaps I can convince you that that should be your goal but let's let's just meet again what he says he doesn't compose this work to teach you what you do not know but rather to remind them what they already know and abundantly is evident to them again like in there I think it's in the American and I don't know if it's those rights the Constitution what else do they have but basically there's certain there's certain inalienable so you will not find in most of my words anything then matters that most people know and have no doubts but in accordance with the great degree to which these matters are universally accepted as self-evident and in corresponding measure to their truth being manifest to all so too is the disregard because people say I know it already how often I don't need to learn that it's so obvious for that for those people that want to know more about justice they have to know how to get to the point of clarity and the will to be just and that's why I mentioned from the very beginning that Musa is so important part of Jewish learning every Jewish school that deals with the intellect also has and it could be 15 minutes that they could be half an hour there an hour they but they make sure that they learn these ideas okay so you might so you disregard them as very prevalent and as a result forgetfulness of them is rampant because you don't pay any attention you're not interested you think you know it all therefore this book is not intended to introduce new ideas but to remind people of the undeniable truth that they tend to forget the benefit that will be gleaned from the safer now now is just pitched why you should buy the saver don't it doesn't come from reading it all at once it's not one of those books you've read once and you put on your shelf okay it's a book that you're gonna have to read over and over again so this is another you know you were in marketing right you want to be able to sell something that you're gonna have to keep you know a little bit wear out your buying do another one for it is entirely possible he says that after reading this book the reader will not find in his mind any new ideas that we're not already present in his mind prior to reading the safer other than just a few points but rather the main benefit of the safer is gonna come from reviewing it and doing so consistently so the one will be constant reminded of these matters which people naturally tend to forget as a result he will take to his heart his obligation in life which otherwise ignores let me in there because this is really the crutch of the matter even though yes it's true keeping going beyond the seven meaning vertically into all of the subcategory the seven overreaching things is going to change the world and that should be your focus there's no doubt it should be your focus but how did you get there like we is just assuming everyone's on a different level there's many new people and people more advanced you don't need to watch us go and start looking at the the rabbi's speaking in depth on returning lost objects on paying your workers on time there's there's volumes written on each one of these subjects okay so that's what I suggest you do I'm not trying to scare you away or run or chase you lay around at all rabbi I love how you you've brought that out in the end so we don't go stale we don't go stale I mean we're not just the 70 Nations isn't just intended to be non involved bystanders in a crowd watching a show and there's a lot of things out there that are just shows but you know the Torah is life altering life changing I love how you talk today about digging deep peeling back the veneer and getting in straight down not not looking vertically what more can I have but looking closely at what we actually do have and this is where I find that the the depth of Taurus so beautiful especially being somebody who's not Jewish it's it's it's alive it's living it's pure and it goes deeper and deeper and deep and you know we can begin to walk in it and we can begin to shine light also I think you've really touched on some beautiful stuff today or so were we winding it down are we good for we're good for next week and hopefully we'll get into the the 18th chapter in 1819 chapter of Mithila to sharing so if you want to look at that ahead of time great and it will help us all and I I wish everyone a shovel etaf a great life a life of full of Torah and mitzvot and tikkun olam fixing the world but it all starts maybe I will tell us the story right about fixing the world the hope it's high and said when he was young he wanted to fix the world so he had really you know I he set the bar really high and he was quite disappointed it wasn't anybody listening to him he didn't feel accomplished and so he said instead of trying to fix the world up I'll try to fix the country so maybe the continents the country he also set the bar way too high and didn't feel accomplished and he went down to his county and city and then he realized you know what I it's myself if I fixed myself I can change the whole world and that's what it comes down to like that's where it starts there is a little bit of a difference between the Jew and the non Jew and I want to go back to this quote from the time of the legend when he spoke about that the Jewish people are kingdom of priests said both positions of priests and congregant have significant and corresponding obligations a priest is not a priest if he has no congregation and a congregation requires a priest to provide a system the Jew is obliged to observe 613 mitzvot the non Jew similarly has the obligation to observe seven Noahide laws both Jew and non-jew have the ability and free choice to generate Tiku or god forbid the opposite cuckoo change damage through their actions however the Jews obligation responsibility is to rectify both himself and the worlds around him whereas the non-jews obligation is to rectify himself therefore the impact of Jews action reaches further should any non Jew wish to take on a greater level of obligation he has the free choice to convert to Judah the Judaism as long as he does it with conviction however and non-jews able to reach meaningful spiritual Heights of perfection in serving God without converting to Judaism so I want to say like I believe that the non-jewish world can do a lot a tremendous amount the question is what this I think there's no limit right collectively in fact I'll read another room or some other time and some other sources that basically and don't get me wrong don't call me but in non Jew I'll call this a going who attaches himself to the Jewish people right as a non Jew he's trying to be holy he basically has the status and I don't mean halakhic status but at least in God's eyes he's like a joke he really has what well you know we'll save it I'm gonna let people let's talk about this next week I will go into it a little bit further and elaborate what I mean he is not holistically a Jew but there is some unbelievable virtue of this non Jew who's accepted the Torah from how from Mount Sinai and he is supporting the mission of the Jew of Israel I should say of Israel and therefore he could be called I'm using this word very loosely it could be called a Jew but again be careful you don't walk around saying I'm a Jew I'm an Israelite but in God's eyes he has extremely high status and can shine believes that can change world's put well with high responsibility hey rabbi yeah we don't want to profane and say we're something we're not exactly make sure that way so being very loose about that but maybe next week you tune in and bear out the Shem I will back up my words and we'll have a better understanding what I mean nobody should misunderstand me it's not a whole lot ecstatic of the Jew not at all but we're told men in God's eyes you are one with the Jewish people okay amen well I think what that's perfect leave it on hopefully folks come on back next week Shem willing we're gonna we're gonna continue this class and we'll heal more exactly how ya the connection fits and I look forward to it rabbi it was beautiful
