So, this is uh behind me the
Mediterranean Sea. I'm here in Tel
Aviv. And what's the big deal about
this? Just a nice ocean view, a nice
breeze, swimming abilities, surfing.
What is the ocean about? It's
about the Yumpt. The festival's coming
up Friday night, Friday of Shabas, which
is Pes, the seventh day of Pak of
Passover. And there's a beautiful
tradition to go to the ocean if you can
and split the sea because our ancestors
on the seventh day of Pesak, they did
the splitting of the sea. Although it's
not this sea, this ocean, but that's
fine.
It's live
water. Now, some have the tradition
where they do this at the dawn time,
try, you know, some do it after
midnight, some do it before, and some
even do it in their sh where they pour
some water on the floor and they cross
over like the Jews did with the Yamsu,
with the sea of
reeds. And what's the lesson? What is
the splitting of the sea? What is it?
What does it teach us? So just let's get
make it
short. We have ideas and we have ideas
that are frozen. We have ideas that are
boxed in
nature. Water
flows,
right? Water flows. Can water stand
still? No. Look at Niagara Falls. The
falls are coming down. Water flows.
God make made a miracle when the
Egyptians were pursuing to kill the
Jewish people in Egypt on our way out of
Egypt. It's the festival of of Passover
Pesa. And the Jews went through and the
waters froze and stood in their place.
As soon as the Jews went through, the
Egyptians who were chasing them followed
them trying to kill them. And
the water went back to its natural
tendency and it rounded them.
particularly citizm explains this
nature
nature nature has its
limitations and by the laws of nature
water doesn't stand frozen and I don't
mean frozen when it freezes cuz when a
normal sense water flows God says I'm
going to do something that's
supernatural so the miracle is the
supernatural over the natural. That's
the the the the you're going to sing the
idea in short the idea of this
miracle mahva over tea in in the Hebrew
tab language transcendence of
nature dominating over nature.
We need to walk away from this holiday
because this holiday is the precursor of
the next six months, five, six months
till the holidays
etc.
The message here is
la over
tea from tish till now it's the
chuva it's uh the the the it's generated
by the heart by the person person has to
refine himself the aa now is to receive
the
blessings that's why we bench towel
right we we we ask for due not rain we
stop asking for
Tal do comes from heaven to
earth. The idea is there is flow coming
forth.
Shea holy shea. Are you a vessel for it?
And the answer
is you will be if you accept the
transcendence of God's
power over nature.
So therefore, in your own
life, if until now you said, "I can't do
this. I can't get up in the morning
early to study Torah. I'm tired and I go
to sleep late." Naturally, if you go to
sleep late, you're going to get up late
or late
early. If you accept the la mva, the sup
transcendence over nature, even if you
go to sleep late, you'll get up in the
morning. And the proof is if you know
there's a big check waiting for you or a
big treasure or a big business deal
waiting for you at 4:5 in the morning,
boy will you be
there, right? So,
so we create our own buffer zone. We
create our own
reality is shatter that convention.
Shatter that
mindset. Go beyond it. Jump into the
water. Immerse yourself with the waters
of Torah, with the waters ofidus, with
the waters of goodness and guidance
etc. That's one
point. The other point is the idea of
the
self-sacrifice. Nadav, one of the
leaders of the tribes of Judah, he jumps
into the water before everyone else.
There's water. If you jump in, you're
going to drown. He says, "God tells me
to go. I'm going." He told us to leaving
Egypt. We should we we're leaving Egypt.
Go. He
goes and the water of course becomes dry
land.
Yasha and he and everyone behind him are
saved.
But he was the
trailblazer. The message here is, my
friends, you need to be a
trailblazer, not to
accept what everyone else says. If you
believe something's right according to
the Torah, if you believe you need to
stand up, stand up. You're going to get
a lot of darts and bullets and
criticism.
Absolutely. But if it's the right thing,
you say
it. And if you say it long enough and
hard enough and you really and really
are authentic, it'll make an impact and
people will respect
you. They'll gain you'll gain your
respect by
people jumped in. Trust me, he had
antagonists. They told him he was crazy.
They told him he was committing suicide.
On and on and on. But
he didn't care. He knew this is what God
said. He took the charge. He took the
lead. The trailblazer, the
pioneer. My friends, we have five months
of pioneer work, of trailblazing work.
Any go over the top in there's a
saying you don't try this way, that way,
and if you don't succeed, you jump. To
begin with, you jump open.
Let us make these resolutions and we do
it one more point. We do it with
self-sacrifice. Just like Nakshin, he
jumped in with
self-sacrifice. So if you expect to have
the answers before, you ain't getting
them. You need to experience it by
jumping in. Jump into Torah. jump into
jump into
a to to to a group of people that are on
the right path on a healthy path both in
character and personality to be a mench
and simultaneous to be aided
simultaneously to be a Jew to be
connected and for those that want to
beic to be aid those that want to be to
be God bless you all and a of yam
still. And remember, going to the ocean
and going to the beach and going
surfing are nice
commodities, nice pleasure, but that's
not what this ocean is all about. It's
for us to split the sea Friday
night. Have a great shalom.
