hey folks welcome to our new show well
beyond the seven live from Jerusalem
with Rabbi Aaron David Poston I'm so
enjoying this series rabbi Poston has
been taking the time out of his busy
schedule to do specific research to
teach Benet noah and Jews of course
pertinent information that go beyond the
seven so folks I'm just gonna turn it
right over to Rabbi Poston rabbi Poston
how are you doing today I'm gonna have
to mute my mic for some reason I got
some massive feedback here and I hope
it's not me but everything seems to be
coming across okay rabbi how are you and
please share with us the Torah so thank
you very much welcome everybody who's
watching right now
Shavua Tov again once again Shiva talk
to all those people who have come out of
Shabbat the Far East
here in Israel anywhere in Europe Africa
who knows and for those people stood in
America maybe they're taking their
Shabbos Liffe Shavua Tov I don't know
but also Hodesh Tov we are just entering
now the month of Sivan and I wish
everyone a punish'd oh thank you Dad for
having me once again and time with you
and learn Torah I mean you're sharing
concepts that we're just not getting for
me each and every rabbi I know that a
lot of rabbis like to take the time to
get to know the student and and then
teach accordingly for you to take on the
task of saying okay I'm gonna start to
show you what is pertinent beyond the
seven that is universal I think that is
meaningful
you think you I what I'm going to talk
about tonight because right the Sham
with the help of of God will get deeper
and deeper into why it's so important
and how much respect the Jewish nation
should have for a non Jew who has
decided to abandon whether its idol
worship or any of the false religions
and cling to the one true God of Israel
and live a moral life it's I can't even
express how much respect we should have
I mean after we get through tonight I
think we'll have a little bit more
insight why the Jewish nation needs as
many as many non-jews than the 7 to 8
billion people on the planet this is
what God wants and whatever we can do to
help each individual or as in a you know
nations to to get there we should be we
should be like whatever I'm doing I
think others other Jews should do as
well to try to educate and that's what
we can do
I'm happy to be here you're bringing
your bringing us to learn in position
I'm thankful I'm thankful you've taught
us so much so far in the first four
lessons have you got a prepared package
today or you want to give us a quick
review bring us up to speed especially
for those that might do to the show sure
before we start I don't know a you on
both Facebook and on YouTube just asking
yes sir we're live on both Facebook and
we're live on YouTube we got people on
Facebook right now and we got some
joining us my friend Scotty Helton is
with it's live on YouTube as well so
yeah looking good cuz I was trying to
turn off okay so it's like this I
mentioned I think I mentioned towards
the very end of last week's class
something that couldn't sound very
controversial I'm gonna take this up in
the beginning I mentioned that there's
this idea that a nullify right someone
who's a bad denied of worship and it has
attached themselves and I'll say it to
the God of Israel which means they're
basically
hatching themselves on certain level to
the Jewish nation can they be called a
Jew so the truth is I led you on just to
come back no the truth is I like the
word Jewish right like what would a non
Jew who's attached themselves to the
Torah the Torah of Israel right what
would they call themselves so I mean you
and you can call yourselves anything you
want and that I know there's names but I
think that the person is basically a non
Jew practicing or accepting the Jewish
faith so are they accepting the Jewish
faith and I'll go into that look I'll go
to the meat potatoes of what I mean so
could they be called a Jew so no I don't
think they could be called a June but I
like the word Jewish because the I guess
H at the end what else you're gonna call
yourself so non Jew practice Judaism in
other words it's one I don't even like
the word religion so just okay but it is
more Universal path for all of mankind
and maybe it's not one maybe it's broken
down into several you know everyone has
their own path but you know the Jew has
613 within this framework and the
Noahide over the non Jew they had seven
within the same framework and I'll just
reiterate one of the things I mentioned
in a previous class and I mentioned this
at the beginning of Corona to my
students this the word Corona means
crown I mean that's simply what it means
and I feel this is a Jewish teaching
that this is what needs to be taught at
the moment that the crown of Torah needs
to be put back in its rightful place and
I mentioned before in the ten
commandments we call the Ten
Commandments are not Ten Commandments
the ten statements there are six hundred
and twenty letters right I'm talking
about the first step second said it's a
little bit different but the 620 letters
cuz I taught us that they each one of
the letters represent a different
Mitzvah I went to the Rashi I went to
the refugee gone and then the 613
letters represents the 613 misses plus
seven the seven for the null Heights
again they're not specifically said the
commandments we've talked about this
that's why we're called beyond the seven
this series they're seven overreaching
concepts principles and they have many
subcategories and hopefully through
these lessons not just mine but many of
the other teachers you'll realize that
there's a lot of details that are worth
knowing and that's also I'm going to
talk about like the idea of wisdom and
even though we discussed the difference
between the wise and the pious there is
an understanding that wisdom is a
crucial part of one's life right to be
thinking person right my Raja Shiva of
North Wiberg said I don't know what
percentage I think he said 99% of the
world is sleeping they're just
unconscious
right so you have to activate I mean I
wish that people would activate their
their minds and and become deeper
thinkers and not just do things by rote
or do things because their parents told
them he said like this if you were born
he's talking to us the students of Asia
Torah if you were born in Iran you would
probably follow Khomeini and if you were
born in Lebanon you'd follow nasrallah
and if you were born in Ramallah you
would follow Arafat well then we mock
Shamu all of them anyway that and if you
were going to make Shireen you'd
probably follow this particular enemy
this is not what God wants God wants you
to question everything you have to make
that choice decide what you want to do
don't just follow things because you
know they were handed down and we know
the prophets that the nations will say
you know our forefathers our fathers
inherited us they were handed down to us
lies right now this is what the nations
are gonna say the truth is it's so -
about Jews right we also have to go deep
and discover things on our own okay so
going back to this idea of being Jewish
okay so the name used for L believe it
or not in the Gomorrah and Sanhedrin
that says all of Israel has a place in
the world to come the more shame the
commentators explained that the word use
for air and the word Sadiq which means a
regular person are synonymous which got
me thinking because if we're talking
about a righteous Gentile using that
term in English righteous and it Siddiq
that's how I would translate right I'm
translated as righteous so they're
attaching themselves to to be you just
can't get around it they're attaching
themselves to Israel right especially
when we learn in the mission itself that
who are these people that do not get a
piece of the world to come right
remember we mentioned bilam is one of
those people but the principle should
apply as well to a non Jew I think and
I've discussed it with other people and
other rabbis and they seem to agree with
me but it's not it's not written
anywhere but it says if you if you say
that the resurrection the dead is not
from the Torah or the Detroit not from
heaven and then list other things what
do you mean so a non Jew who let's say
follows the seven laws but doesn't
believe in God or doesn't believe that
the tourists from heaven he would be
excluded from the world to come
so we're here as guides to let you know
that look examine it don't discount it
don't just push it off okay come to at
least an open mind that perhaps the
Torah is from heaven meaning that the
revelation we're talking about in just a
few short days from now the polish wrote
when God made this great revelation and
gave us the greatest gift okay it's an
interesting concept because Pirkei Avot
says that the greatest gift God gave to
man was free will but then there was one
additional gift
something as a expression of his ethan
war-horn
really well first he gave out of love he
gave us this great gift called free will
and then he gave us the knowledge that
we had free will and that's through the
Torah okay so hopefully we can use the
Torah to exercise our free will I'm
gonna say I don't know if the Jews
non-jews who has more free will than the
other that's a whole nother discussion
but I want to stay back I want to go
back to this idea that of being Jewish
so what does Jewish really mean so I
want to convey a deeper deeper
understanding that when most people
think I have talked to people and they
say hey that well what does a Jew is
based on the name you hooda which I
would agree no problem but they claim
mistakenly well it's not really a
mistake but they're going in a certain
direction with this that it's because
you who does the largest tribe therefore
most Jews are from you that is what I'm
going to contend with I'm going to argue
against that point does it mean that
it's not true it is true that you it is
the largest tribe we see it in last
week's Martian right they count the Jews
were counted you who does the largest
but I wanted to go in order I want to go
in a certain simple order I want to
start with the name you rulers so in
Genesis 29 35 Leia
one of four mothers thank for mothers
who gave birth to the 12 tribes of
Israel
so current name she named her fourth son
Yehuda now right now mr. street 29/35
she conceived again and bore a son and
she said this time I will thank the Lord
therefore she named him yahuda and she
stopped bearing just keep in mind it's
real simple to remember the different
mothers and who gave birth to whom we
have the word of hi listen
Oh Israel the Lord is our God the Lord
is one God so you have you have set so
Leia and Rachel who were Yakko staves or
wives they gave birth to eight right six
were Hannah wait one second sorry and
darling
so the - the - woody caught the two uh
now I just got confused for a second
that's okay I always how I'm talking
about the young a check huh are you
talking about the two youngest handmaid
they weren't really they were called
wives sometimes otherwise otherwise they
were the concubines so they gave birth
to four but lay between Leia and and
Rachel so once I hear she was a four and
Rachel gave birth to two so that's six
you know what I'm gonna just skip that
and I'll do my homework and I'll give
you a better rendition next time let's
just stick with layered Leia had four
and her fourth son she named you hooter
and then she stopped bearing so what is
it that caused her to say this so our
tradition tells us that she had a she
had bruja kodesh she had the Holy Spirit
on her she foresaw that they were going
to be twelve tribes through the floor
mothers so that was true now even in
prophecy a prophet could come to certain
conclusions on their own there could be
wrong and she made a mistake
her mistake was that she she thought
that each one of the four mothers were
going to give birth to three children
right simple math twelve children
divided by four is a four piece so she
yeah so she gave birth to her fourth
child she realized she received more
than she deserved and this is the lesson
here right she says um this time I'm
going to thank the Lord let's let's see
the Hebrew the tyre owed she got
pregnant again
Bengie birth she gave birth to a son the
tomah she said a pound this time at this
time meaning when she had a fourth son
odessa shem the word of death and ho do
and you gouda it's all based on this
exact concept of being grateful what a
jew is we're talking about Yehuda a Jew
is eternally grateful we already spoke
about the time the King David even says
what does it mean been then what does
God asked of me write the word Burma he
reads as bemay ax with a hundred and he
can't he decreed and I again it's a
controversy according to some it always
was part of our tradition it was lost
and he realized it had to come back
because of the plague so he decreed a
hundred blessings a day then you have to
say a Jew is I mean you just see walk
around you're watching their mouths move
what are they doing it's not just
sitting there and praying it's you know
you're gonna eat something you're gonna
go to the bathroom you're gonna do this
you're gonna do that your bodily
functions you're so happy you're you're
praising a Shem for health these are
this is what a Jew does a Jew so what's
the difference between a non Jew and a
Jew why can't he you know be in the same
state of mind right I'm not calling them
Jews I'm just saying they're Jew it
could be Jewish right they could imitate
certain aspects because the tone is just
so full of wisdom of how to live one's
life like we talked about thievery
thievery is one of the six hundred and
thirteen minutes for a Jew it's also one
of the seven but they are different
right there are different ramifications
but nevertheless how much lessons could
be learned and you know drawn forth of
how to live a pious life as a non Jew
you go into a store and you talk about
this I think the last thought and you
act like you might be interested in
buying something for whatever reason but
you're really not interested in buying
something that's stealing the time of
the salesperson right to become
sensitive even if you're not obligated
but you had this overreaching obligation
of not stealing and you can learn so
many things about how to behave in a
moral fashion right and you know in
business right according to our
tradition the first thing that we and
I'm assuming why wouldn't it be true
about a non-jew I have no idea maybe I'm
wrong but I know that a Jew the very
first question he's gonna get asked when
he goes to those pearly gates I don't
know if that's a good concept predict
but y'all my dick he's judged by Gaia is
did you were you honest in business
right it's not did you believe God did
you keep Shabbos did you eat pork for a
Jew and I why wouldn't it be true I
don't know I'm gonna assume that maybe a
non Jew should think that that is also
going to be asked upon him I have no
idea but the first thing that Leia named
when she named her son unit I received
more than my share okay this is a very
important look at Rashi yeah for those
who have Rashi this time I will thank
since I have taken more than my share
consequently I must offer up thanks
whatever I'm receiving is a free gift
it's if we would ask God to give us I
mean this is impossible
okay God doesn't owe us anything now if
we would ask them give me what I deserve
whoa be careful got to give you what you
deserve because who knows trust me
ask for a free gift right we learned
this in the Han right this is the
partial and Carson that cannot there's a
whole lesson to ask God for a free gift
don't ask us what you deserve
she was so eternally grateful so I think
we call ourselves Jews it's not just on
the fact that you hood is the largest
tribe that's true and it's certainly not
because where most of us are from unit I
will prove proof to you that's not true
but in the meantime let's go through the
lesson in in Esther which is not the
only time the Jews are called the
Israelites are called Jews but in Esther
chapter 2 verse 5 it says there was the
day in man in Hebrew this issue the D
now was he from the tribe of Judah no
read the rest of the sentence
there was a Judean man in Shushan the
capital issue D hyah
shushanna birra whose name was Mordecai
who Schmoe Mordecai been yet here the
Sun is he here been shimmy the son of
shimmy Ben pshh the son of Kish is
shimmy me a Benjamin Islander
he was tribe of Benjamin okay and why is
he called why is he called issue B so
look at Rashi and Judean man issued
because he was exiled with the Exile of
Yehuda all those who were exiled with
the kings of Yehuda were called Judean
or Jews neither Dean among the nations
even if they were from another tribe and
Rashi continues he says he was from
Benjamin now how was the north this is a
very important point about the northern
and southern split it was a tragedy it
was not what I shall wanted even though
God actually through a prophet appointed
the kings in the north there is a
concept that only through through you
who this should be the king of all of
Israel but governors were allowed to
exist you were allowed to have a king of
a jurisdiction within Israel the
governor so it's it's not a problem that
a prophet was involved in appointing the
kings in the north it's not a problem
but they are subservient like you have a
governor I'm assuming this is true I
don't know a governor in the United
States he's a governor of a state but he
does have jurisdiction on a federal
level but he has some kind of power on a
whatever you want to call Provenge
provincial level and he is honored I
mean I don't know what they call him the
president but they probably call your
honor of some sort yeah some honorable
title mr. governor so the idea here is
that it's true we had but it was a split
and it was hard
it was it was a disaster for the Jewish
people and they were many of the kings
of the north we're sinners I'm not
saying any of the any of the kings in
the south were all righteous either but
and there were quite a few righteous
kings in the north as well but they set
up idols they set up a system where you
couldn't go to Jerusalem okay
so there was rebellion against the king
of Israel
so yahudah the king of you who it was
the king of Israel and the governor I'm
gonna just use that term for the king of
the north
preventing the Jews from going to what
God said go to the place I've chosen
which is Jerusalem okay so that was a
tragedy now in terms of people rebelling
against the evil king that was a fact
let me go through it almost all of lady
they knew their place they were
honorable they didn't involve themselves
in the sin of the golden calf they
didn't involve themselves in the sin of
the of the spies these people the konima
and the Laveen were extremely righteous
and bright and smart knew their place of
course we're not told that every single
one of them but as by a vast majority
and they basically rebelled they already
came down from the north to the south to
live in Yehuda now you hooda did not
just involve you did also had been Jett
Benjamin the tribe of Benjamin and where
was shimon where was the tribe of Simon
that was within the borders of Yehuda so
you had four tribes that were in the
South basically okay but there was
always intermarriage between tribes
you always had inter man that was
permissible okay there was a period of
time there wasn't but in turn in general
you had intermarriage so people would
leave their folk there there let's say
women for sure would leave their family
stay and live with their husbands and
vice versa you also had if you had a
rich father-in-law right so you had a
good business opportunity you would also
relocate right so that was that happened
so I'm gonna now give you the figures
right we still had let's just use the
numbers of 600,000 she's the easiest
number to deal with so you had whatever
50 70,000 of you who know which was the
largest okay but still when you take one
I'm gonna say one-tenth instead of one
twelve of the tribes but then you still
had been youngin you still had Shem oh
and you had lady and then you had the
intermarriage and I'm gonna throw out a
number about 10% if you get 10% of the
North 10% of 600,000 is still in the
same range as the equal amount of yehuda
right around 60,000 so who that's
tempers whatever you know I'm just
throwing numbers we're not being exact
yet so you had a large chunk of McComb
rep either not yet refugees we're
talking about through intermarriage
alone then with same pair of when an
enemy comes and even gives some warning
maybe the profits weren't about this so
don't you think there's every time you
have war you always see refugees so
we'll give a number we'll give a 10%
another 10% why not so how you talk
about 20% of the northern tribes already
in the cell and then you had Jeremiah
our tradition tells us that he went out
to bring them back and he brought
another 10% so you told me thirty
percent of the northern tribes so that's
already like three times the amount that
was already just in you who DeLong plus
again you still had been young men and
Shimon and lady so to say that yahuda
was the largest tribe yes nobody's going
to argue that but to say that you're
probably from you hooda because that's
it they're the massive majority that's
just not true you know I don't know if
it's one in a 50 percent chance to hear
from the owner or I think it's a lot
less we don't all have the tradition of
2500 years and a lot of you know we
would call Exile running to and fro
around in different countries around the
globe of ours but you also have many
Jews I don't know what the percentage is
but I've met them who have documents
they know exactly who they're from
all you have to do is find in your
lineage a great rabbi you know two three
four hundred years ago and they
themselves those rabbis have documents
with how they go all the way back to the
twelve tribes so it's not like you
really have 2500 years worth of
documents you only have to know from
tuition five six seven eight
generations which is not that difficult
in a Jewish lifestyle because there was
no inter you know I said for many years
there was very little intermarriage and
people are very proud of their heritage
I know people they just know they're
well sometimes it's the last name that
gives it away who they're from
you know which rabbi this that the other
thing so this so what did I say so far
so you have basically the idea of the
the the refugees the internal tribal
managers coming to their own
yeah Jeremiah brought back okay now
that's another idea now another idea why
a Jew is quoted you now this hope people
don't get me wrong when you think the
word Christian right it's someone who
believes in Christ what does Christ mean
I'm ready to come from it came from the
concept Messiah The Anointed One right
so they're people that supposedly I
don't think they do
I don't think Muslims Christians
actually believed in in this deity
whether that's my own personal thing and
I think they just were told lies and
they just say yeah I believe but they
don't really believe but okay so let's
just say they call themselves this
because that's that's their faith they
proclaim to believe in the anointed well
where'd they get that from that's what
you hope it stands for the mashiach ben
david right which we all are anybody in
that old man tonight jews right he's
been off for ages they've come to
understand that the true messiah has not
yet come yet the true messiah is from
the seed of david from the tribe of
Yehuda so they're basically saying I
believe in the The Anointed One who is
coming through is promised to come
through the seed of David meaning from
the tribe of Yehuda to say I am Jewish
where I'm Jewish right I profess the
Jewish faith it means I believe in the
less
seiyya coming through Yehuda that's just
my thing I actually picked up bits and
pieces of this from Rabbi Toby singer
and I go with it because I really
believe this is true
now another idea I mentioned about the
split between the north and the south
so you have what we know is a mistake a
tragic mistake of let's say
disconnecting or rebelling against that
president that over all right King not
sure so basically anybody who calls
themselves a yoohoo D or Jewish is
saying I believe again in that Davidic
dynasty I'm actually giving honor forget
mushiya per se like that I mentioned
that the word Christian could apply to
the Anointed One but just simply the
monarchy itself just the concept of the
monarchy itself so there's a concept
called Allegiance or honor I looked
through the source just to come up with
a bunch of words and I think we can all
relate there's a faithfulness there's a
homogeneity or adherence to your
adhering to that monarchy and I'll go
one step further into the word obedience
right I'm obedient to the Davidic
monarchy this is an amazing concept so I
know I left you guys at the last shear
and I mentioned how and what is it Ben
Noah is he Jewish no but he could be
Jewish if you follow what I meant so I
hope that was that was enlightening to
some well rabbi I do find a lot of
people especially those of the 70
nations especially those that are even
new to the notion they most do not
understand that
the identity of a Jew is more than just
just its its nationality and it's more
than just its religion it's the kind of
the whole package of being you know from
the the line all the way back to Moses
and all the way back to Abraham but
being in that promise from the time of
Moses it's it's the whole promise
entitled within the nation that Hashem
had promised to Abraham and that
blossoming into becoming that nation
so it's intermingled between religion
and and nationality
I mean I live in Canada which is quite a
melting pot I hate to say and you know
the melting pot has its strengths but it
also has its disadvantages and I
learning especially from the Jewish
people that you know there's there's
something honour in the preservation of
something that's pure and righteous and
holy and just but I like where you're
going with this thank you okay so now
we're going to go even deeper into
something I brought up last week and
this was in numeracy and Hedren done Ted
59 a second and I found lee ben yehuda
as a brilliant question and i think even
a better answer but you wouldn't have
such an answer without the question so
we all are familiar I'm assuming that
many of the Benigno are familiar with
the Gemara that mentions in the name of
rabbi Yochanan about a non Jew now I'm
gonna say we talked about this he's an
avid koha vein that means someone who
still worships idols he should not be
involved in learning Torah because the
term was given and commanded to us by
Moshe and there was a discussion was it
gazella Geneva is it stealing or is it
sexual impropriety and that is a
discussion on its own but then comes a
brighter in the name of ribbon mayor and
ruby mayor says from where do we know
that not a Novikov Hadean that means a
night of worship but
oi someone who's given up idol worship
who is AIESEC Betar another word I said
could mean learning and teaching and
really delving deep into Torah that he
is what he's like a Kohen Gadol he's
like a high priest and the verse was
brought down we discussed this a little
bit
hoosh Martha Matt hookah ty and you
shall guard or observe my decrees the
atmos go ty and my laws I assure you I
sell Assam harem which will do in them
or perform him in them a man the high
ban and live in them now we discussed
the idea that look taurah is embedded in
that verse because of SHM artem you
shall guard there is a hint that that is
talking about learning torah becoming
wise where did you see it one second I
might not have it okay one second let me
just continue when I get to that point
later so good there is this schmatta
means to learn to learn and I think I
discussed this before even the Mitzvah
to learn Torah by you not by a Jew is
embedded really in the verse that says
you shall teach so don't think and I
heard this in the previous class with
Rabbi time Kaufmann that it's just about
learning if you're not willing to give
it I don't think it mean give it over to
other people I don't think it means that
much to somebody in other words the
value it's so valuable and it's
something that you're not gonna be
lacking when you give it over in fact
you're even gonna gain more right it's
like giving that keeps on giving
I'm sure there's a good better phrase
right the gift that keeps on giving
this is unbelievable you're writing
increases this is when you teach you
know so the idea that learning you would
think is something that is self
absorbing right and it could be but when
you know that the source material the
diverse in the Tobii chignon thumb Livan
f and he shall teach your son is the
verse that teaches you you have to teach
I'm sorry is the verse that it teaches
you that you have to learn the verse
itself says you you shall teach and so
we discussed this as a prerequisite in
order to teach you have to learn but the
real I'm gonna say the real I the real
words anyway is to teach so we've
discussed this already the rabbi's were
asked who do you learn more from your
own teachers your colleagues or your
students and they all answers
unanimously I learned more from my
students so if you want to learn listen
my understood I was involved with Asia
tour for many years and the Rocha Shiva
of North Weinberg I love a show up alone
if you know just the elephant right just
the alphabet right just the ABCs
I love beggin you have an obligation you
have an obligation go out and teach
imagine he taught us about the people in
Russia the Jews in Russia who it was
forbidden to learn Torah this is our
generation right it was forbidden to
learn Torah in public right they had to
go into basements they had it I don't
know send all kinds of secret messages
of how and when they would meet with
every some people only learned a few
words and they would pass those words on
life like a code they would risk their
lives to teach what we call the truth
right it's so anyway that's enough for
the idea of why it's so important to
teach but the so the good more we
understand learning or teaching is it is
embedded and how do we know non-jews
because of the word dumb now that is on
its own a very interesting lesson now
this also could be controversial
the word in the Tanakh and when it says
haha da it means Jew and Gentile but the
word Adam without the hay means Jew and
Jew alone
it sounds funny you and you alone but
Jew and you alone so I'll take the piece
of the Ben Yoda and discuss that right
now because we say that the name of God
is in bedded on the Jew first of all you
knew who da is the same letters as you K
well it's the same letters anyway Skoob
of K but there's a dollar in there
right and the dollar for whatever
however you want to look at it even
though the word yoohoo table means
thankful grateful appreciative but it
also means to admit and to knowledge
okay and the word video I like to
confess the same same mood also it's to
confess is to acknowledge what you've
done wrong but anyway so that the you
who da is God's name with a dollar
representing the many things but one of
them is that we have an obligation to
teach the world now it is always like a
representative of the four dimensions of
this world something physical so the
Daniel hold on I mentioned is the
Benishek I the let me just continue I'm
sorry I missed one line in the Gemara so
it used that verse and the verse we I
just reiterate where it is it's in it's
in Leviticus 18 verse 5 so it says at
the end no somehow all dogs the high
band which a man does and lives in them
kah-nee-lah VMI's rally lone mr l homme
now it doesn't mention the word Israel
doesn't mention Jude it mentions the
word hard-on so for some reason the fact
that it doesn't say carne Levine
Australian that gives you the hint that
it means hard um stoma the non Jew and
therefore the conclusion is you learn
from this that even a who's involved
in torah and involved could mean
teaching in very much will meaning and
going t is likened to a
high priest the cargo so basically
before I read this many odd the main
question that really bothers at the the
benyard ah and I'd should it should have
bothered me where is this culling cuttle
in that verse I already told you to
teach or learn is there non Jew is there
but the conclusion of Rebbe mayor is
that he's likened to a high priest where
in that verse do you see the word high
priest okay so let's start with the fact
that it says it does the actual Bryson
says it doesn't say cow and lady or yes
Ram so let me just sum it up real
quickly he goes through this idea that
the word atom is met is June and hot
thumb is all mankind so if you take
maybe I should just read I like to read
his words instead of trying to
paraphrase I thought I thought maybe I'd
save some time
he says Takashi right a little bit of a
question about these words Cohen lady
and nice trails not mention the CEA sure
mister Butera
Shin is Cara al shames flesh Tom a low
comb its listeners carro al Seamus
relative ah I forgot the disguise a bit
slow stop what's the difference
wait is there it's like rhetorical
questions there any midst in the Torah
that mentions all three of them is it
not all the misses that are mentioned by
the word Jew alone really obligated on
all three of them whatever it says
Israel why mention Cohen maybe at all
why does the price I have to mention
that Cohen ladies not mentioned just see
Israeli
here he says the current huffy hobby lay
Lamia SRAM Lou never hello Adam just say
up doesn't say Israel so say it means so
the fact that it says how other must
mean to include non-jews as well see
says look it looks to me like this with
the help of God explained that Israel is
called by the name Adam whereas the
non-jews are called ha Adam with the
head and the reason is because for
Israel they have three Madre go they
have
three levels of holiness they are the
colonnade in Israel the whole kedusha
name shocked me shame UK and all of
their holiness emanates and stems from
the unit and the hey now what's you
didn't hey that's 15 what is it three
times right you have yes real Cola lady
so you have three types 15 is 45 and
what's the Komachi of the word awdawm is
45 okay therefore camasta says ramish a
madam now we understand why the Jew is
called by the name Adam because that's
because the UK were told that those two
letters that name is is on the three
levels of the tube
P mu mascara shame Kahana they misread
whenever you mention you shreya I'll try
whenever you mention the word a Dom
you're talking about Cohen lady Israel
the Concord gonna tell Omar here the
intention by saying Adam and not saying
haha one second
if the fact that it doesn't say Adam it
only says hey Dom that's the intent ah
came on the tour of them since the
description of atom which is man again
hard um is mankind and Adam is did you
Chloe out Kohanim the do is rally that's
what it means by or da the three levels
of the Jew and that's why it's mentioned
here call him live a nice really there's
not mentioned at least in the brighter
in the tonight state in order to teach
you that the description of man includes
all three however the intent of the the
goal of his intent of Ruby mayor is that
Adam lone mr allaha Dom in our verse God
said how Adam which described the Ummah
Solem which describes all the non-jews
they're almost all up they could fit
into this other they do they obviously
do and therefore in terms of learning
Torah let's just leave it at that
it's not only permissible but one who
dedicates their life to doing so is
likened to
Cohan godot again we're still stuck with
the question where in the world does the
Kohen Gadol fit in all we understand now
is that Adam is Jew and ha Adam is
including all the non-jews so this is
unbelievable
hang there hang in there with me so this
is where he says that even in non Jew
who involves himself in Torah he is
likened to a cut echoing God or high
priest now what is it about a Kohen
Gadol he is a level above the rest of
the coning Cohen God though is raised up
he's higher than the rest of the carny
eh no you Tyrone Allah Keith he has a
advantage over his brothers Benet Amato
now we're talking about let's say the
non Jew right he has an advantage who
studies Torah he has an advantage over
the rest of the B'nai over the rest of
the B'nai Noah over the rest of the
non-jews like a coin god oh he has the
advantage like a condo has over his
brothers so just keep this in mind the
Cohen God though is raised above he has
a higher level whatever that means the
status of Honor and and perhaps even
spirituality then the other corny
however the question is hey hun this car
there's dimension or even a hint to the
Kohen Gadol in that first unbelievable
question why should we have only asked
that question so he says it seems to me
with the help of the Shem to explain
that the advantage the utero 8-car God
though on his brothers is in two ways
one that his lavash that is lavash that
the clothes that the Kohen Gadol wears
what is the different the congas
garments and the rest of the cows he
wears eight garments and the regular
corneum wear for four simple white
garments and the Kohen Gadol wears these
eight let's say for them are much more
elaborate than the regular so he wears
eight lame Charcot money
for showing the bush and the regular a
regular coat is not allowed away of
these additional four garments he only
wears the four simple ones where's the
conga - where's Olli and furthermore
what other advantage is there to the
Kohen Gadol over his brothers there's a
uterine biome you'd the holiest Tishrei
the 10th of the month of Tishrei which
is Yom Kippur what happens for him
Shane avodah Zarah Ella Rockville he is
not allowed to do that particular
service except on this particular day
called the 10th of Tishrei which is Yom
Kippur it's one day of the year he gets
to enter so he has advantages but first
of all it's 8 some kind of something do
with the garment and something to do
with the date which is being you at the
10th
I hope anybody who's trying to guess
where I'm going with this
it's said in the verse hi BAM
hi good he shall live in them remember
we said where is the color you're gonna
compare at going who could learn Torah
to a condo based on this verse I got the
learning parts all right I what else do
we say I've got I'm sorry just go back
in the verse I got to learn I got the
great part from ha ha dong well what
about the Cohen God oh here it is
this is what he says that since he's
allowed only him to go in to the Holy of
Holies well ma che shillitoe ma now you
might come up with other differences
there are other differences between a
cotton noodle and the other coning but
their negatives in others these are two
positive commandments that he wears the
eighth and he goes in but the Kohen
Gadol so he's not allowed to marry a
widow but the other coning the regular
cunning are a lot of matter widowed so
you might say look there's other issues
that are different why don't you try to
explain that she says no there that's a
negative
we're only discussing the positives for
this matter of hi so now he goes into
the second explanation uterine a loose
ammonium hi Shan said the garden the the
work hai live in them
that you'd to the eight garments and the
unit of Tishrei it hints to the universe
I show you a sir awesome huh dump I been
that a man should do and live in them we
need to say who other Nick rock hi this
is a person who's called a live and this
alive is really talking to old my bar he
said he's gonna go to all my bomb but i
ashamed state you throw note a loo sure
a shy shiro shake table shall an hi
okay i explained that and you should
know the massacre - but college' feel
ooh ah kun he clarifies what many people
are have a problem with and he says and
this is Claire find what I said earlier
in that first verse was discusses who
has a big problem learning Torah that's
a guy that's sorry that's a no vehicle
halting that's someone who worships
idols he has a big punishment now why
why should he be punished
where is the regular guy the one who's
already given up by the worshipers under
worshipping he's not only permissible to
learn Torah but it's even praiseworthy
and I just want to just clarify one more
point caused ignored to say that that is
specifically where he's involved with
the seven mitzvahs ok so I just want to
make sure that we understand although
there are other opinions the rules will
see them there's so much to learn these
seven universal principles
I will even though they might be seventy
eighty a hundred mitzvahs right because
there's their overall arching there's so
many details we talked about over and
over again
everybody has he ate Sahara everybody
has to work on their character the whole
tour is about character development the
whole tour is about character
development right you don't have to
follow doing sharpness or not but would
be the problem of trying to learn what's
behind it and adopting some parts of
your life too because that's what it
does for us right we have to follow the
dictates of God no matter what he said
do it we do it but we have books and
books to explain how this is supposed to
sensitize sensitize you in your
relations between man and
in between man and God between man and
yourself okay so the tonisha so full of
wisdom that there's almost no limit to
what a non Jew could involve himself
with but he must that I'm saying this I
usually don't tell you what you have to
do but you must involve yourself with
what you have an obligation for first
and once and it believe me it's probably
a lifetime but listen you could learn
and should learn what you enjoy learning
if it's philosophical things if it's
whatever it is right if you write
whatever rocks your boat whatever it
uplifts your spirit whatever is going to
give you more haitian more desire to to
to fall in line up your baby into a sham
then you should do it right we talked
about Moosa right loose is like a
catalyst it will help you become more
obedient right it would help you clarify
who you are the potential that you have
and help you refine your character on
the way so let me just read their last
line because he mentioned in the first
part words where it was a problematic
that was an oath a cocoa bean but where
it's learning towards compared to a coin
dot oh it's the word is used so
remember he's from Iraq 150 years ago
and yet he knew like many people are
today squabbling and what the Rambam
really means what remember really says
and I'll just use his words when he says
what it says moo cow mooed if you look
at them this is a Katara - hoot the fus
it's a mistake it's a mistake it's our
gloma I feel of Gouri Butera
but it needs to say even a guy who's
always a patron which I'm at the second
line the first time it's used it's a
it's a it's an eco hobby but when it
comes to the Kohen Gadol that's going
not annoy the carving because in you
think of hugging means someone who is
worshiping idols and the stars and we
all know Rebbe Mayer lo I read by Ian
avodah Zarah show Abram Mississauga Dola
Shiva Sheva mrs. Baylock
rebby mayor it's he's a doctor you see I
just want to mention also when we follow
we have a system we don't just follow
the Rebbe mayor okay it's very important
Rebbe mayor says that it seems that if
all that a has to do is give up by
the worshiper ina worshipping and he's a
he's like a bona fide get kosher with
many not that's the biggest mistake
anybody could ever make
number one we passed can we go by the
majority that was the rabbi said no you
need all seven just giving either
worshiper is not gonna get you your your
your key into heaven okay
there's another concept ready mayor and
review two argued a lot
meaning they have on the same page in
the same discussion two different sides
whenever Rebbe mayor's met name is
mentioned
we never go like him it's just like it's
like anybody knows anything about Tom
hood knows this you know as soon as
Rebbe mayor abuser mentioned just chalk
out doesn't mean we throw away away
grubby mayor but no we don't go like
Rebbe mayor they specifically mentioned
his name as a key - no because Rebbe
mayor's rabbi went off to direct his
name was our hair we'll talk about the
story another time it's basically he
went off the path and it was well-known
Rebbe mayor still learned from him he
was such a great guy disrobing mayor he
could still learn from him but we would
never give honor to his rabbi again and
therefore whenever Rebbe mayor's name is
actually mansions it means we're not
following that opinion
whenever ribbies million and nobody
would know this if there are not a
Jewish person anybody who studied Talmud
seriously would come to this full
knowledge now sorry to say we're
learning something new so basically it
comes down to another concept we always
follow the majority right you have the
rabbi's and you ever been there in that
particular instance where Rebbe mayor
says it's only giving up sheet to
it's only giving up she - right and then
the rabbi say no it's seven it's clear
we go the seven it's not this one thing
anybody who fell into this hole of
thinking that it ribbing there is a
legitimate sheet no I'm not saying he's
not we're told my ribbing there but they
dascomb mentioned his name I want to
mention that all the other machine ayats
are basically revving there's the
anonymous mission at any time there is
no name mentioned in the Mishnah it's
always ready merde
they don't mention his name that we go
with it as soon as they mention his name
we don't go with it I mean this is like
you have to twist your head around for
that yes that's what I meant
yes okay so now recovered I think part
of that I want to go a little bit we can
save that for another time okay I want
to mention about this concept of needing
to be educated right why shouldn't a nun
and a non Jew then not want hokhmah I
mentioned in my shear and you can find
it I am my last show on Thursday night
which is entitled something about the
Torah's response or God's response to
God TV yeah I'm hanging really high that
the way we were processed I know if
that's the word orchestrated in the
desert with the four different sides
relate back to what we've been talking
about it was like it was really a nice
mesh and really putting up him together
that de scheana will not reside on a
person unless they have four character
traits we spoke about that last week
wisdom claw claw oh sure wealth Gibbler
strength and another humility so the
clear car which I like to give my class
and explains that the way that they're
the four they were formulated the way
they were choreographed is that who went
first it was Yehuda he's the maja cake
he is the lawgiver right keep that in
mind this is everything we talked about
are already before you don't have to be
part of you hooda to attach yourself to
the law this is the law of Moses right
so yahuda was in the center of this
Eastern Eastern Front because they went
first
yeah do you suffer and yet zulan and the
clear car when it's a how each one of
these three it's very easy with the hood
but also your sufferance bullet how they
were all related to hokhmah and then he
goes one and described the others how
each side represents one of these four
Madre goat one of these four levels
because we're referring to the Shiina
coming down specifically after the
census of 600,000 okay so I don't want
to go that much is what I'm gonna
basically show you anybody who has an
open mind understands how important
hokhmah is you want the Shana you want
to have a presence of God in your life
in your home you learn from the Torah
you learn with the with the tourists has
to offer for you all right now
besides acquired wisdom one of the
lessons we're trying to get across in
this Messiah after Shari ranked in the
path of the just which had to chef at
some point we're gonna get to has has to
do with his introduction he says I'm not
here to teach you anything new I'm here
to remind you of what you already know
how is it that the seven Noahide
principles right we say and I say we say
what's a myth from the Jewish
perspective that in non-jews obligated
in anything that's logical that's why
there's really many more this long no
right anything that is considered
self-evident obvious intuitive these are
words that means you know it's you know
right from wrong but you need to review
them you need to go deep into them you
need to become sensitive to them because
if you think you know okay I got the
seven down there's so many things you
probably don't remember because when
you're confident that you have it is
where you you don't feel the need to
review you don't feel that I shouldn't
say you most people don't
don't feel the need to go any deeper
they'll say I'll explore new exciting
avenues but if this is something that is
so important which we describe that it
is then you might as well go deeper and
deeper and and do review but review what
you intuitively know and which is so
obvious it's just so important I just
want to mention about opinions right we
say that there we use the word mock look
at my cloak it could mean there's a
dispute but the dispute in Judaism when
you have two rabbis they already agree
on 99.9% it's a one nuance that they
have a different perspective on and
they're both true this is something that
we say this is why we don't discount
that minority pay me wrong like Rebbe
mayor we're not gonna throw it away
right it's valid and it could be used in
extreme measures if there was a great
loss of money or if it's a rabbinic
ordinance right so there's gonna be
times where the the Sanhedrin will make
a decision that goes against what we've
been doing for all these years but they
won't come up with something new
whatever is in our Thomann even it's
we'll call it a minority opinion it's a
valid opinion and it will be used in
either emergency yeah
it's required the time just call for it
yeah but what is most important is that
we follow the majority right we have the
puss ik in the Torah I can look it up
right now in I'm not mistaken it's in
Deuteronomy chapter 17 and let's see
yeah it's called the rebellious elder if
you go to verse 8 of 17 of deuteronomy
so this is another proof for the oral
torah not that i need to prove anything
but for anybody who has any questions do
you know what is this thing about the
oral torah didn't did you know cuz i met
some ex christians who basically you
know have always said well i don't want
to fall for the doctrine of men I've
already fallen for the doctor of men
before and I see that Judaism has so
much truth but I'm afraid to go that one
step there and fall for the doctrine of
man what does that mean we have to
redefine the term is it a doctrine of
man
there's Judaism as a doctor of man cuz
they have so many rabbinic ordinances
look what it says again chapter 17 verse
8 if a matter of judgment is hidden from
you between blood and blood between
verdict and verdict between clegg and
plague matters of dispute in your cities
so you listen anything that's crystal
clear all the Jews now there's no
question but when you have a question
you have a doubt you don't know the
answer so you take it to the local court
the local court does what to do you
follow them what happens when the local
court doesn't know so then you shall
rise up and ascend to the places of
shame your God shall choose now you may
say I don't know midst of that again
it's I don't know Salt Lake City I have
no idea what someone might say but we
know what it means right the God the
play shall choose us here on the holy
hill of Jerusalem where the Sanhedrin
would sit and it even says you should
come to the co honey to the Levites and
to the judge in other words not all of
the judges were colony or leave items
they were really the ones who should be
studying most of the time and being able
to judge but you had profession you had
very worthy Jews to sit on the Sanhedrin
the word from the cony would look like
to tribe and the judge will be in those
days
meaning this is for eternal this is not
just at the time you had a temple
you should inquire and they will tell
you the word of judgment so now you go
to them the Torah tells itself says you
have to go to them to determine the
judgment and then it says you do
according to the word they will tell you
again even when you hear the word Oral
Torah Torah means instruction oral it
says to the word which they tell you
they're telling you something so opening
their mouth okay that could be they
could write it but this is something
that they are verbally they are coming
to some kind of conclusion and decision
so you're gonna do according to the word
they will tell you from the place that
the Shem will choose so it's true right
now we don't have a Sanhedrin so we
don't have but we have to go by the
majority of the least what else we're
gonna do we go by our own rabbis and
hopefully they are in touch with other
the rabbi's we're basically coming to
some kind of consensus this does the
best we can do until we have the same
metric to the place that has you Shem
will choose you shall be careful to do
according to everything they will teach
you so whatever they teach you the
teaching you something new for you it's
new it was a doubt something got lost it
wasn't where you have some new invention
what can we do with an elevator on
Shabbat they didn't have elevators 3,300
years ago but they had the principles
the principles they had and the
principles are what like that's the hope
good morning the Talmud is discussing
these thirteen principles like a light
bulb you know it's considered like
lighting of lighting a match or lighting
a fire isn't it well that's one of the
opinions you know all the rabbis got
together when when electricity became
very popular and tried to determine what
what is it so the old when they call
Kendall essent light bulbs well it had a
filament it would turn red today LED I
don't believe has anything near what the
candle essent like what was but at least
then it was either it could have been
fire but you're not allowed a ignite a
fire or it could be melting like the the
becomes red-hot so you take metal so
you're talking
about and like cooking okay
so cooking and igniting fire two
different they're two different of the
39 millivolt there's another idea that
it could be building yet people building
how's it building so thank God all the
men of my family are all electricians
and I always grew up with this idea of
they called it building a circuit so
what do you mean you're you're
connecting this wire right and then all
the sudden now there's a full circuit
that's going around so the problem with
that what most people agree is the only
the main would be building because
that's part of the building process you
build the whole building and until the
main is switched on but usually like you
think if you open a door or open a
cabinet you're building or destroying no
it's on hinges it's meant to come off or
meant to open and close so the light
switch is meant to go on and off it's
not really building so you're not really
building a circuit within the house but
the main would be problematic the main
in fact you know you could be building
and paying for your mortgage while your
house was being finished and finally
you're ready to move in
it's it's like the finishing touch right
as soon as they I don't know if the
electric company does it or somebody
else you know soon as they put them the
building you know switching on the main
right you know if the approvals and
you're allowed to now move in because
everything's up to standard you know
that's like that's building that's part
of building so the main would be as
opposed to but don't get me wrong
there's probably a minority opinion that
holds the legs which is like building a
circuit and that would be problematic I
don't agree with it okay and I think
there's another opinion but so we take
all of those opinions into consideration
that's because they were all correct
right there is an aspect of each one
that violates the spirit of Shabbat
right and it could you don't know
anything about electricity but the whole
concept of being on your phone wherever
it is you know 24 hours seven days a
week is not in the sphere of Shabbat
make
the rabbi's had this authority to say
it's forbidden and then they have this
discussion what exactly is the forbidden
nature of it
okay so let's go on if we're still in
the verse 11 according to the teaching
let me just go back right from the the
end of 10 and you should be careful to
do everything to do according to
everything that they will teach you now
they're teaching you according to the
teaching that they will teach you
according to the judgment they will say
to you you shall do what is the need to
repeat about teaching and telling and
telling and teaching if it's not an oral
torah that's what the oral torah in you
shall not deviate from the word again
the word what do you need that word that
they will tell you against all like
hello if you're you're sleeping if you
don't understand that there's a concept
called olympic living torah
god did not miss the big issue with
greek philosophy and maybe even
christianity the way they believed that
god had that he is too big to deal with
us petty people right he create the
world you left he's not involved
first of all prophecy itself proves that
he's involved right that's what prophecy
is he's just showing you his constant
involvement right but the I can hear
that the God is totally involved with
everything we do he's not so high and
we're so small that he was nothing to do
with us it's quite the opposite quite
the opposite in fact
you're talking about it's called a
living Torah he's in wherever he is
right in heaven and in every molecule of
the world wherever he is he sees he's
with us in our decision-making we call
dr. douche my read you the venue of that
every time he makes a statement he says
with the help of a Shem I can explain it
right you don't think these rabbis on
the same Hedren pray to a sham they come
to the right decision he helps them he
helps them make the right decision and
of course sometimes they make mistakes
and the Torah itself says just a man
the Turner says you don't know what to
do you go to say an engine that means
it's a dictate of God it already is
God's what was the word I used before I
use it when I said that the doctrine God
says I'm giving it says the Torah the
Torah is not in heaven it's on earth the
tour is no longer in heaven it's here on
earth
meaning the instruction manual is given
to the sin engine to - I'm not use
ordinate if you late because that sounds
too coarse to steer right - he has a
better word for me I'm thinking I'm
thinking like yet to guide to - well
it's it's navigate I wish I was seeing
I'm thinking of a ship an old ship's
wheel in my mind as you're talking but
you never get you hit it right on the
head I like that so it says you shall
not deviate from the word that they
shall tell you so they're helping us
navigate rank when you you're on ways or
what they call Google Maps or whatever
is you're driving somewhere you want
somewhere and you make the wrong turn
then there's a re I forget the word but
recalculating recalculating
you're always recalculating sure so same
thing with history God gave us free will
and the end we're all gonna make it
we're all going to where we need to be
the question is at all how many mistakes
we're gonna make the way and we have to
recalculate and maybe really be
reincarnated right and it's gonna take
it a lot longer
right because it says when you start out
on the trip it's said it's gonna take
you 13 minutes and then 13 minutes in
you realize you didn't follow the
instructions exactly and then you got 23
more minutes and you wonder how the heck
did it started out 13 minutes I should
be there already
you know rabbi the worse with following
a lot of these these these self guide
are
these GPS maps the worst is I have seen
people especially here in the Canadian
Midwest developments are so new ok
you're following a GPS they have seen
these kits and they drive right into the
middle of a field neighborhood with
terrorists I guess I wanted to discuss
something to find my notes now I think
you're really eating us something that
will will speak to the world to really
understand where they can find guidance
whether it's to the left or to the right
to know which way to walk in I think
you're right on something huge here let
me just finish this and then we'll go to
the next subject so you should not
deviate from the word that they tell you
right or left it's so amazing that the
rabbi's tell us that even if they tell
you that left is right and right is left
oh come on
common sense says uh-uh no no no if
they're wrong I'm gonna go I'm gonna go
against it but if you read the rest it
says no you can't do that in fact you
should be killed if you would go against
them let me I want to emphasize this
point what it means but let's get back
to it
and the man who will act with
willfulness not listening to the co-ed
who stands there to serve Hashem your
daughter to the judge that man shall die
and he shall write and you shall destroy
evil from among Israel the entire nation
to listen and fear and they shall not
act willfully anymore how can it be that
if you follow them you know they're
wrong that you're doing the right thing
well the Thar just said it ok but why
make sense sound if it's sound you know
if it's sound and it makes perfect sense
you know it's easy to yeah but when if I
don't get it moment did listen listen
there's gonna be a difference when you
do in public what you
private okay is it really vibing okay or
you're going to continue to teach your
own way so there's a few different
levels here you're a teacher and you're
gonna continue to teach what you think
is right against what they decided it's
wrong you feel that there's something
that they said is wrong and privately
you're gonna do what you think is right
if yours Long's you're not violating it
in public and you're not doing something
against the Torah perhaps it's not a big
deal
okay but what the real problem here is
is like this two levels the court I
don't call the word is but like there's
a default or a an automatic fix so the
automatic fix is that the tour itself
says if they were wrong the sin lies on
them and they have to bring an offering
for the congregation so what do you have
to lose this is what God says to do okay
we're not talking about it what kind of
major issue they're talking about
something that was impure and became
pure and like you brought it into the
temple and you didn't realize what's the
big deal right
not you talk about something between man
and man and you're killing somebody
they're not gonna make any kind of
mistake like that yeah I mean what kind
of mistake could they possibly make
you're talking about the highest level
of knowledge on this earth and they made
a decision seventy of them everyone can
speak 70 languages they know all the
different Sciences and mathematics and
medicine of philosophies in astronomy
okay well you're smarter than them
you're gonna say I'm smarter what I
perceive is left and it's really right
this is who are you it's such arrogance
okay it's a little bit of like we said
who's a Jew I'm gonna be obedient I have
to follow the rules that God set out God
says do everything they say even if they
push their perceived as being wrong okay
and if the wrong it'll be taken care of
they're taking responsibility okay so is
that the doctrine of man by following
man in this
description the God the God Himself
tells you if God tells you I would say
it's not the doctrine of man get
anybody's listening it's said in the
Torah this is what God wants you to do
so why is that following that doctor of
minutes finally dr. Mann when you know
you found some guy who found some
tablets in the middle of out of nowhere
and tells you that he had a personal
revelation not somewhere I don't know
just the idea that one person is telling
you he had a revelation as opposed to
relying on 70 of the wisest and most
righteous people on the planet in
exactly the spot or as close to the spot
as God tells you this is exactly what I
do so we don't have the same engine
today but we everything we had in the
Gemara was up until the time that st.
Hedren so the right it was canonized
right it was basically used to word
canonize you have all the all the
tonight sources right it's just
fascinating okay
amazing I want to talk about blessing
because you have two important verses
and I want you to read them both from me
go to Psalm 24:1
yes sir
show me an arena please some 24 verse 1
the psalm of David the earth is the
Lord's and the fullness thereof the
world and they that dwell therein okay
everything in the world belongs to God
and I'm talking about this from the
language of being grateful being praise
worthy all to the Lord very nice
so everything belongs to God am I
allowed to benefit I personally a lot of
benefit from anything in this world a
throne belongs to someone else from what
we understand of thievery absolutely not
that's Steve Rhee correct and aid Noah
but what
yeah look at sounds 115 verse 6 please
they have ears but they hear not noises
they have but they smell not noses they
have excuse me noses they have but they
smell not so they have ears but they
hear not noses they have but they smell
not okay so that's not the verse let me
just see why maybe it's one verse before
or after it's sad but they speak not
Isaiah they see not one fifteen verse I
thought I said six but let's just see
seven says they have hands but they they
handle not feet yeah that's one one
fifty someone fifteen okay so I don't
know where the verse is there's a verse
that says its verse 16 not not six
sixteen sorry oh that's an honest
mistake the heavens are the heavens of
the Lord but the earth hath he given to
the children of men okay so what did we
see in 24 one that everything everything
everything in the entire universe
belongs to God and I mean belongs to God
and in this verse which I'm now gonna
correct that offend is verse 16 it says
whatever is in the heavens belong to God
but what's down here on the earth he
gave to man so if I ask you so what is
it yeah here's a nice steak is it God's
or is it yours
but you got two very contradictory
verses I'm sorry to tell you all right
they really do contradict each other
they do yeah and the truth
strictest didn't sense so listen we're
not gonna live in a doubt okay God says
if you have a debt you go to the sand
engine right can i benefit is it
stealing or did God give it to me well
which is it so the rabbi's tell us that
before you make the Ruffa before you
make the blessing it's God's and
therefore if this for a judo and I
assume that at least in principle some
concept that maybe a non Jew can
understand this as well all right
if you don't know death if you don't
acknowledge that it's his stealing as
soon as you remote it as soon as you
admit as soon as you declare sewers god
he gives it to you and then then you're
allowed to benefit from otherwise it's
stealing this is how a Jew is brought up
and we said that a Jew makes a hundred
blessings a day look in Deuteronomy
chapter 10 verse 12 we said what does
God ask of you then that Ben man King
David is the one he instituted we
reinstate a hundred blessings a day I
believe he'd reinstituted it was just
forgotten but either way King David's
pretty pretty good source for me you
know whether it was a new he douche for
him or but it says in the Torah but man
but man with a hundred blessings a day
so I think this is like there's so much
wisdom in the Torah that you think twice
before you eat wow this really blunt God
look what he gave to me this beautiful
looking fruit that it smells nice and
it's and just imagine I don't know that
I don't think we all think about the
nutrients but certainly if you compare
it to a Twinkie an apple you know the
Twinkies not to make a blessing look I
don't know if they have Twinkies anymore
but you know what I mean okay some kind
of you know either way the Danny gets to
the
it gets you the class whatever it is how
we doing on time
well we've almost been 90 minutes rabbi
but if you if you want to continue you
go right ahead but I found that you just
brought that so alive about the
gratitude you know I was thinking to
myself you know just because I walk
under the shade of a tree you know is it
you know do I have to give thanks for
the shade of the tree and then all of a
sudden I think of you know Jonah or yeah
at the end of the book and I'm thinking
you know the gourd over in his head and
you know I say you know what the rabbi's
telling you the truth here Dan just be
more thankful and and when you're not I
don't think especially us Benigno are
those are the 70 nations we don't
realize that we're actually acting
animalistic when we don't give thanks
okay so yeah we've a lot to learn we
have a lot to learn everyone on the
planet and Rakesh mmm God gave us
hundreds 20 years and we should take
advantage of the time right this is also
during the Serie we called the counting
of the Oh mayor make time count like
we're not just counting time we're
trying to make time count so I'll end
with this little short lesson found out
sure to try to concise it make it very
concise but even though we have this
idea of fifty days and by Believe It or
Not right fifty day journey to varsity
night though is to count each day that
by the Jubilee is also this concept of
fifty years but it says in King but King
David he says God made the life of man
seventy years
well is it fifty years or is it seven
years so we have a weave of teaching and
this is a very I think people would have
a lot of understanding in rock money
with a lot of mercy on on humankind when
they hear this that God does not judge
the human for the first twenty years
right for a June when he becomes 13
he is obligated in all his earthly
activities and he'll be judged by a
human court but anything that one does
against God he totally overlooks because
he knows you are in the process are
called adolescence or development you're
really trying to find yourself and he
has such mercy he created us he knows so
the first 20 years don't count it's
every year from the twenty-year till
your 70th birthday those fifty years
he's telling you make accounting making
accounting of your life rank these are
just lessons that a non Jew could say
well I'm not obligate to count every day
I'm not celebrating you know Jubilee I
don't live in the Land of Israel I'm not
really relating to it but there are
lessons about everything and this is
make life count right I hear people
making counting now they're in the 70th
day of the quantity other what they the
court through here but are you just
counting the days right are you what
happens in your life make the most of it
learn pick up a book start a
conversation with somebody
ask him how they achieve what they
achieve you know how they got to where
they are I mean what's the problem here
we follow the service I think they're
almost free and you know the phone call
like any any zip code in a certain you
know continent is almost like three
these things I don't know and then you
have forget the phone you have videos
you so many ways of talking to people
communicating with people emails
whatsapp this chat that kind of chat we
don't be afraid I run into people when
you finally run into somebody after not
seeing somebody for days you can find
out what their life is like how are they
surviving what are they planning on
doing with their life I don't know just
- there's so much to learn from other
people who is a wise person who is a
wise person right because that's we talk
about wisdom tonight is someone who
learns from everybody what does that
mean you have to have an attitude of
humility you know even if it means to
learn what not to do there's somebody
you talk to you can learn from everybody
so my my prayer is first of all show
Kodesh
that we all are on the path toward for
wisdom towards wisdom and that is
believe it or not that's the first of
the four levels that we're discussing a
Mesilla to strive so at least we got
some of the principles across and I look
forward to next week it'll be after
sugar was holiday if we're still
learning yet mostly Shabbat or whatever
time it is wherever you are in the world
and I but I really would like to see it
certain comments you can pry it you can
really call it the private message me at
least I have an idea what is on the
people's minds what direction they want
to go and what my what wouldn't I have
already spoken about that might raise
questions bothers them and the earlier I
get these questions the more I can
prepare so my first few sessions I get
quite a few but they stopped coming in
so I don't know if they stopped coming
in because people are so busy with other
things
so rabbi you're developing a good group
here and all I can say is those that are
with us some of them attend many other
broadcast I do and a few of them are new
but I find that they're a good group
that nobody wants to ask a bad question
okay
and they're learning and growing and
they're giving you the honor and respect
as a rabbi and they're saying wow more
often than not so they are learning Lots
from you we're digesting it they're
taking a step back and please don't take
it the wrong way if they're not asking
questions you must understand that as a
benign oeq as somebody who saw in the 70
nations a lot of this is coming at an
angle that is something we've never
thought and I find this most often with
Judaism especially somebody who came out
of teaching or in within Christianity I
find the rabbi's share things that
you're never gonna hear there you're
just not gonna hear there's notions that
are beyond that fly above anything that
they can think or imagine
and so when you're throwing out these
the soundness and the truth of the whole
matter it's like wow we can't say
anything negative and in order to have a
question I find that there's a good
honest legitimate transition in people's
lives when they become a B'nai Noack
they don't want to ask a question out of
respect for you and your value time
because I have seen rabbis that will
spend days weeks hours and grieve over a
question to come for the right answer to
the right person Bonet Noah they find
out early when they become one when they
when they start when they do legitimate
tissue but turn away from idolatry what
happens is a lot of them like when they
were in Christianity they want to go
knock on the pastor's door 20 times a
day they want to ask questions 50 times
you know a week and then they start to
realize wait a second there's only so
many million Jewish people in the world
there's only so many of those that are
rabbis there's only so many of those
that will even speak to us they're
valuable you know and I find you know
talking even in the past with someone
like rod Rubin who does a lot of a lot
of outreach with Benet no account in
Texas there the reality is he
as you know he's got a group of Rabbis
that are at the head of that
organization and he's the the his title
was you know a a leader of education or
something he says he doesn't have people
come and ask him those questions like
when he used to be you know he was a
military chaplain when he was one before
he says people come bombarded questions
and they we learn quickly from you
rabbis we learn quickly that coming with
a loaded question is not an honest
question and we want to be respectful so
please don't take it the wrong way if
we're not asking questions if you do get
one from somebody who's been a bit ain't
know for a couple of years they get this
and they're basking and soaking we're
not we're not like porous sponges that
just slurp it up we're trying to digest
and I'm thankful like when I started
studying ethics of the fathers moose are
in general twenty something years ago
I'm like oh my gosh you know you're not
hearing this stuff from anywhere else on
the planet and I love how you touched on
some stuff did they do is they they tell
you you know even if you don't agree
with it because I didn't broadcast the
other day with the rabbi and I he made
one point on Isis I ain't buying it
right on the wife and I you know yet I
love the fellow you know and more than
that I respect him as an as a Torah
scholar and I actually said that
afterwards I had to apologize what I
don't know what we didn't happy with
this particular rabbi but maybe I made
might've uh mislead people we're talking
about Sanhedrin Bertram at the table
when I talked about your average
everyday Joe rabbi be mean on the street
you have to listen to okay
we're talking about the majority of the
rabbis we're talking about what there's
a consensus right amongst those who are
kosher right you might find like Reform
Judaism okay I make this a point some
people here but they're not in the
category of the consensus
right we're talking about people who are
close to being candidates for the state
Hegeman as opposed to you know
non-believers who just happen to be
Jewish and a very into academia that's
not what I so just keep that in mind
you're talking about one rabbi with one
opinion okay it doesn't mean you have to
do exactly what he says but if he's
telling you the consensus of religious
what Orthodox Judaism believes yeah
basically you should contemplate exactly
what he's saying makes perfect it's what
makes also this brighter that was
brought in by Rebbe mayor there's some
of the opinion that first of all with
certain Rebbe mayor is arguing there's
no argument here right it sounds like
it's a contradiction but in there's
really no contradiction when we don't go
by ribbon mayors when there's a straight
up argument number one and according to
another opinion it's not Rebbe merits
ribbon your media it's almost the same
letters in a different so just so if
anybody thought that i was trying to say
we don't hope i really mayor in this
case this is a very this is obviously a
very big america whose we do remains
from about the seven Noahide laws he
would be like a cone tunnel keepers
around my apartments like that so we're
not talking about an argument of Rebbe
mayor if it is rome America win somebody
here Mia but just to get that through
that I was not saying we don't Paschal
like Ruby mayor in this case because
there's no argument no clear argument
okay so actually well shall we wind it
down with this rabbi that last Damon or
have you got more you one thing no no I
mean I have a lot more so there's no
point I really there was there was a
tremendous amount that i i prepared and
i'm just afraid to enter anything at the
moment we'll go through my notes and see
what I didn't cover and I'll pick it up
next week you know what I mean and folks
yeah please take this take this from the
rabbi himself
rabbi person saying hey send him some
questions in advance in advance if you
give them the questions he'll take the
time he'll come up with a great part in
working into the discussion we're
enjoying the crowd that that's coming
out I want to thank you all for being
with us and you can find a rabbi posted
on his website given a calm feel free to
go in there check him out
support him folks and what he's doing
there in Jerusalem he's doing wonderful
work I find that he's you know so
community oriented and and teaching
people about how to be kinder in their
communities that it's just a wonderful
opportunity to get to know a lovely
rabbi like him but more than that that
we get to hear Torah from Jerusalem so
you can find him on social media as well
Facebook YouTube I know he's reached out
in the last five weeks jumped into so
many different Noahide facebook chats so
if you see him out there folks
your friend him and and ask a question
if you have a question it might work out
we want to learn more beyond the seven
that are really universal and just just
comprised we want to hear it come from
the from from the the Torah and what the
sages have to say so rabbi post don't
want to thank you for today's broadcast
got off to a little slow start but you
really I think you really took it home
