we
have so happy to see you guys again to
learn
together now I see that when I walked in
you guys stood up now I want to ask you
a question
that's going we have to do with our shoe
why do we stand up when a rabbi walks in
why do we stand up because he's holy he
holy how somebody know
you're but what makes what makes a rabbi
holy what makes a rabbi holy because he
learns to walk okay hold
on so so we should stand up for the
standing
up standing aha I see very good very
good okay so let's see if we connect all
that to this fell here the t is saying
spoke to Moshe in the midal the
Wilderness the desert so it's telling us
a specific time of when this
conversation took place between and
that this was the second year after left
Egypt
hereu is commanded by hem to count is we
start to see these different names where
it says these are the names of the men
who shall stand before you for the tribe
of for the tribe of Shimon
for the tribe
of and it goes on for all of the other
names now we see a few things here first
we see that the Torah mentions these
names well that's because each one of
these names comes with a story comes
with a different story of who this
person was and
tells us that each one of these names
represents something that happened so
for
example the uh uh the for the tribe of
Shimon it
says who is
this this is a person that's mentioned
by a different
name somewhere else in the
says that there was a person that was
named that he was the
grandson he was the grandson of yob he
was the son of of of Shimon and he lived
hundreds of years hundreds of years
meaning he was one of the
people that came down to Egypt with
yob and he left throughout the entire
time of when ysf was the visoy of Egypt
so he saw y being the king over there he
saw how AML was doing great we had all
types of things over there we had the
food kosher food we had uh all of our
crops and all of our cattle and all of
the things that we had when we were in
leadership but then he saw how
everything turned around one day meaning
that we didn't not have permission to
wake up whenever we wanted to eat
whatever we wanted to do whatever we
wanted every day one of these Egyptians
would hit
the go work go lift the stones go do
this and they would do bad things to us
but eventually hasem heard our
cries he heard our cries and he took us
out of Egypt all
these the egyp
destroy these are Miracles right big
Miracles that happened to us and guess
what after that we left Egypt and Hashem
split the ocean and we went to mount
saai and we all heard the voice of
Hashem we saw the words of everything
that hasem was saying was written in the
sky what yeah we saw the whatever hasem
said was written in the sky
I am Hashem your God written in the sky
we saw and we heard the voice of Hashem
all of these wonderful things so now
imagine a person that saw all of this
not only he saw the makot or he saw what
happened to mount sunai but he also saw
how we all started at the time of Yu
imagine a person that saw Yu
we saw him with one arrow kill a
thousand imagine that and then he saw
the plages imagine that you know who
that person was this guy right here son
of he saw all of it he
sawu and he saw m he
sawu he was very very
strong he was very
smart he saw history he was older than M
even he saw everything but later on in
the my
little he's not called the same name you
know what he's called Zim huh really he
is called Zim this is Zim who
marri what happened there what happened
in there you see
Z was the leader of the Shimon tribe and
the Shimon tribe gave him a lot of
respect and everybody gave him a lot of
respect
but who is the leader of all
ofu and Z was
jealous because
M when he saw that there were people
going against the Torah and they were
doing idol worship he would give from
death
penalty even if they were part of the
Shimon
tribe and when Z saw this he said what
you don't ask me for my
permission I'm going to go against you m
he tried to take down mhu how he said
look I'm going to marry the princess of
theim and I'm going to be the new leader
so obviously we know that punished him
and killed him for doing the bad things
that he
did but the point here is we see a
similar lesson to what we heard
about in our last you where somebody can
have a good start they can come from a
good family they could learn good
things but if they don't follow the to
they can lose everything like this guy
did like this guy
did because even though he knew a lot of
tah he didn't listen to it he didn't
listen to it now on the other hand we
have the next one for the tribe of Y it
says
who's the one that jumped the sea
he was also with us in Egypt with
slavery and difficulty and seeing how
the Egyptians were killing little kids
and K hurting am and doing bad things
these these
Egyptians but then has made us
Miracles took us out of Egypt but then
we got to yam and people didn't know
what to do they love to the right and
those big snakes and scorpions in the
desert scary and they look less even
bigger snakes and scorpions and scary
and they look behind them there's the
Egyptians Egyptians want to kill us and
they look in front and there the ocean
but nobody know well how do we swim we
don't know how to swim millions of
people going to swim what do we
do that did not take us out of Egypt
with all those miracles for no reason he
knows that hasem is testing
us he
says I'm going to go into the water yeah
but you don't know how to swim that's
not what I have to worry about I have I
know that hasem does not want me to go
right or left because there's all types
of scorpions and snakes there he doesn't
want us to go back to Egypt he wants to
move forward so I'm moving forward and
to show hasem that I believe in him
100% went into the water until the water
got up to he already he started
swallowing water and that's when Hashem
made a mirone open the water opened and
split the
ocean
now showed
such such confidence
in that hasem said
from will come me and from David will
come schl and from schl will eventually
come the Mia so from is the grandfather
of mashia so even though started as just
the regular person in the tribe of
yudah there was another person in the
tribe of yudah there were many people in
the tribe of udah the tribe of yudah was
the biggest tribe that the most amount
of people any one of them could have
been the grandfather of
mashiah they all had the same
opportunities they had the same leader M
andon they all had the same Tor the same
Miracles happened everything was the
same but
chose to be the one the mashia who comes
from so we see here then again no matter
where you come from you can make a
difference you can make a difference now
we see as far as the number of
tribes we see as far as the number of
tribes the amount of people that are in
the tribe of yudah is
74,700 they're the biggest
tribe
74,700 we we see that in the other
tribes have like is has
54,400 zon has 57,000 all of these big
numbers but the biggest tribe is the
tribe of Yoda the tribe of
Yoda on the other
hand what's the smallest
tribe smallest tribe close we have benam
has a uh small number has 22,000 you're
right that no I'm sorry it's it's a uh
no bamin has
35,400
yes also close but actually the says the
smallest
amount was the levy
trap the levy track is the smallest
amount even though the levy tribe they
counted all of the levy boys from the
age of 30 days old from babies all the
way until growing up they counted all of
them whereas all of the other tribes
they counted them from the age of
so the question is how come the levy
tribe did not have as many people as the
others because who learned
to more than everybody else the leev
Learned TOA
right the levy learned toah in Egypt
even they learned toah whereas the other
tribes not so much
so how come the levy truck did not get
did not get the uh the blessing of
having more kids this question answers
everything that we talked about before
you see the Ley tribe they learned a lot
of tah but they did because they learned
a lot of toah they were not slaves in
Egypt they did not suffer the slavery
and all of the pain that the Egyptians
would were causing to to
is the Egyptians wanted to kill all of
the firstborn
boys of the tribe of Y the tribe of
is why they want to kill them because
their magicians their necromancers of PA
told them that one day there's going to
be a b a Jewish boy born and he's going
to
destroy you he's going to defeat you
they were talking about M being born so
so said throw every boy into the
water so this new boy that's supposed to
come is not going to come but of course
as the Egyptians tried to kill the
Jewish people Hashem made a miracle that
every IMA when she had babies she had
how many babies each time six six babies
imagine there was
six and there was
six and there was six and there was six
Sarah and six OAS imagine and six jsep
and Y imagine we had six times more
amazing six
pamin wow so many bamin imagine that
well that's what happened in Egypt
that's what happened in Egypt even
though
wanted to
destroy made a miracle and there was
even
more more Jewish people you try to kill
us hm will make us even more even
greater just like hem
blessed know he says those that bless
you will be blessed those that curse you
will be cursed so wanted to
curse so made a curse on par what was
the curse on Paro you want no Jews I'll
make you even more Jews you want less
I'll make it even more that's why there
was a lot more of tribe of yud and tribe
ofam but how come the tribe of Levi
didn't get more because the tribe of
Levi did not suffer in Egypt from there
we learn that it's not just about
learning to it's also about how
difficult the tests are how you over
come the difficulty how much troubles
and difficulties you go through in order
to serve AEM so yes it is
important to learn toah
but sometimes a person will say well
listen I'll learn toah when I have H
time I'll learn toah when I feel good
I'll learn to when it's easy for me says
no no no no you see learning T you
should always do but you see if you want
the extra blessing from the Tora you
have to do it even when it's difficult
even when you don't feel good even when
you don't have time and that's
why even though they weren't learning as
much t as the tribe of leevi because
they still stuck with theem they still
wore the same Jewish clothes and kept
the same Jewish names and they still
spoke the Hebrew language they still
stayed close to Hashem Hashem blessed
them with even more the ly tribe since
they learned to didn't have the same
struggles hasem blessed them but not as
much why because you don't need you
don't need the same blessing since
you're not suffering as much as them
you're not losing kids like them so this
also tells us why we stand up for
[Music]
you see when a rabbi comes
in what is that telling us when someone
is a rabbi when someone is a rabbi that
means that this person has learned
to and has learned it even if it was
difficult has learned it even when he
didn't feel good has learned it even
when he didn't have time and he had to
do other things and he has done
everything possible to learn to
but sometimes we see that there are
certain rabbis like the ones on the wall
you see all these rabbis what's the
difference between them and all of the
other rabbis in the world at their time
is that they were like a combination of
the leevi tribe and am at the same time
they learned to through the struggle
they sacrificed everything even though
it was very difficult
bless you will continue to grow
in let's say thank you to for
the One 2 three
