to her son who was taken on yud Bas KV
right ybas KV the 12th day of KV was a
was a plane a plane crash and uh yank
Freedman whom I also had the privilege
of knowing
personally actually I think one of the
first times I met him I was taking a
group of people to a trip in the Ukraine
we went to meab and bichev so you don't
usually meet people from Brooklyn or
from Muny or from Lakewood in
Ukraine but he walks on the bus and he
joined our trip in middle and uh since
then we've had a very warm relationship
and he was a very very special young man
extremely kind and gracious and sweet
and
uh his life cut short but his soul and
presence and love will remain not only
with his family but all those who knew
him and all of us for eternity and I
want to just Express here also in person
my deepest
condolences to his mother and father and
siblings and uh to all of his friends
and of course all the family um you know
his mother comes to the classes for many
years her mother came for many years
until she decided to get a job and uh
that's what you do when you get younger
and yank's great grandmother who was an
awood Survivor also used to come to the
class for those of you remember in the
tent I remember there once a snowy you
remember that day it was snowing it was
Ice I barely could walk and she marched

harder things than uh marching through
the snow so it's an honor to have you

this terrible loss and just uh you're in
our thoughts and prayers but I also want
to wish a big mazeltov for your

revealed joy in the
family with much health happiness and
prosperity and his soul continue to
shower down blessings from Heaven on all
of you and all of us amen and wish
should as the
says one of our principles of faith
of
amen yeah
okay I see the print came out this week
a little uh a little difficult to read
but fine we'll work with what
is since of course purm is coming in a
few days Friday we're going to uh
discuss a very powerful and central
theme in the Milla and in the holiday of
purm last week for those who were here
or those who heard it we discussed the
story of Vash
Vash and her relationship her marriage
with aish and the reason that the entire
first chapter of the Milla really
focuses on the party that aish made and
on vash's behavior during that party we
spoke about it more from a literal
perspective historical or literal
perspective and the point was that uh it
seems strange that a whole first chapter
of the mill is all focusing on something
that doesn't seem so relevant to the
story of PM you could have just started
and tell us that vashi was killed and K
needed a new Queen and he chose Esther
but obviously that story is an essential
part of understanding the whole story of
Pur and on a literal level what was
really happening was that aashish felt
very very insecure about his royalty
vashi was his ticket to royalty because
she was a great granddaughter of
NES had what you might call today the
ostra syndrome I this is what we
discussed at length vashti disobeying
him and vashti being stubborn and vashi
actually insulting him and telling him
remember who boss in this house not only
infuriate furiated him but it triggered
his deepest deepest wound and he
eliminates her and the rest of his
royalty and aristocracy is characterized
by this insecurity which is how hm comes
to power and it becomes the Brilliance
of Esther who uses her husband's
insecurity against him and uses Hon's
ego against him
The Genius of Esther understanding that
hum's ego knew no bounds and A's
childhood wounds knew no bounds and
nobody dealt with
it so she used A's insecurity against
him H's ego against him and nobody
realizing what was happening she created
this web where ultimately she saves her
people from absolute catastrophe and
disaster so the whole story ofish in the
beginning of the m not it's not just an
isolated
story about you know vashi who didn't
want to listen to him and insulted him
and he went crazy and he killed her and
then he regretted her but it rather
depicts the picture of who this King was
what he was dealing with which is how
hon managed to get so much power this is
a very brief summation of what we
discussed today we're going to go a step
deeper into the story meaning every
story exists on many different levels in
T and in tanak so you have a story on a
physical level you have the same story
on the spiritual level in fact there's a
saer called the price of wine it was
written by the
r the rabbi of who actually wrote the he
wrote all the footnotes on the that are
study till today incorporating all of
the ashaz customs and traditions so he's
considered one of the greatest
authorities in history he's known as
rabish he lived in the 16th century died
on passed away on lag and
theama has
a the price of wine he basically sees
the whole Milla as a metaphor for life
it's fascinating he literally starts
from the beginning
aash the party it's all a metaphor of
life and it develop it it depicts a
person maturing from birth literally
growing up until they reach their their
their spiritual and physical Zenith so
it was just an example how he saw the
Milla not just as a physical concrete
story put in history but also as a
metaphor and the same the same is true
with all stories in and tanak that they
exist on many different levels there in
fact that says that every PK every verse
has 600,000
interpretations so it's it's pretty
inexhaustible so today we want to go a
step deeper into the whole story of uh
of vashi and the contrast of vashi to
Esther um
we're going to begin it's going to be a
strange Source like how does this fall
into PM but you'll see everything will
come together with God's grace we're
going to begin with a mishna your First
Source again I'm sorry the letters
didn't come out good I don't know why I
guess the one who printed it didn't
realize but hopefully you'll be able to
see I'll read it so this is a
mish Mish now let me just give a little
a little intro the mishna is basically
the first text that wrote down the
basics of the oral tradition of
yish one of the big sections of Hal is
known as T and Tara Purity and
impurity now Purity and impurity for the
most part is not so practically relevant
nowadays in some cases it is of course
you have the concept of nid and mik and
all that but the way T and tar was
practiced and lived in the time the
bikash that we don't have today which
means Purity and impurity was so
essential it was so part of the fabric
of all of the Jewish people men women
and children that Jewish life revolved
around it just like today Jewish life
revolves around chabas and yam and
daving and learning Etc these things are
like part of of of of Jewish culture and
life dayto day Purity and impurity for
men women and children was an essential
part of Jewish life and the reason was
because there was a bikes to go into the
bikes you had to be pure theim would eat
sacred food like tra kala today we burn
the kala but then they would eat it and
it they had to be
pure all these Foods were holy people
would make eat carbon let's say p
everybody would go to eat a carbon you
had to be pure when you eat it the food
had to be pure so therefore T and Purity
and impurity was an essential part of
Jewish life so for example of
somebody died in a house everything in
the house under the same roof became
impure that was a very serious reality
that had to be dealt with some things
could be put into the Mikvah some things
couldn't be put into the Mikvah it
needed a sprinkling of the of the red
heer and so tum and Tara Purity and
impurity was an essential part of Jewish
life is this is and what what becomes
pure what doesn't become not everything
can become impure but food can become
impure drinks can become impure vessels
even beds mat is cloes because you have
to know what fabric it is there's a lot
a lot of
details now at the surface it seems a
little strange because it's not even
something you could see with your eyes
you know what's the difference if the
vessel is pure impure if the food is
pure impure you wouldn't even see it
with your eyes but a sensitive Soul
knows the difference things that are
pure have a certain energy things that
are impure have a certain energy and
that's why it was so part of Jewish life
because whenever somebody is sensitive
even things that are invisible have a
very very Deep Impact we today we don't
have to explain it because in science we
know that things that are invisible are
usually much more powerful than things
are Vis that are visible for example
when you split an atom there's a lot of
power there and nobody nobody sees atoms
germs viruses bacteria infections these
are all things that for thousands of
years they didn't know about it because
they're not visible with the naked eye
it's only X-rays and MRIs Etc that show
us what's happening inside so nobody's
going to say an infection doesn't exist
cuz I don't see it bacteria doesn't
exist cuz I don't see it fungi doesn't
exist cuz I don't see it germs don't
exist because I don't see it viruses
don't exist cuz I don't see it of course
they exist you just have to know how to
detect things with different instruments
of reality the same is true with Purity
and impurity it's a very serious reality
but it's on a deeper deeper level one of
the tractates that deals with Purity and
impurity is called vessels it's 30
chapters and it deals with all different
types of vessels that can become pure
not become pure here there's a very
interesting mishna and the commentators
struggle with it because it seems out of
context it's just like a piece of little
history or like Jewish trivia I'll read
it inside you also have it in the
English as well yes he goes through the
six days of
creation there are things that were
created on the first day that are
suceptible to impurity B but anything
created on the second day a is not
suscept to
impurity if it was created on the third
day yes there are things that are
susceptible to
impurity on the on Wednesday the fourth
day and on
Thursday there was nothing created that
is susceptible to
impurity besides two
things the bird the wing of a
vulture and the Egg of an ostrich that
is plated
okay says
no don't get dramatic wings of vultures
are not different than any other
Wings anything created on the sixth day
is susceptible to impurity what is going
on here suddenly we're learning about
Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday so he says it alternates back and
forth what was created on Sunday is
susceptible to impurity at least some
things Monday no no Monday is pure
Tuesday susceptible to impurity
Wednesday no impurity pure Thursday
almost no impurity besides the wing of a
vulture and the Egg of an ostrich Friday
anything created on Friday is
susceptible to P to
impurity so Sunday yes Monday no Tuesday
yes Wednesday no Thursday is in limbo
Friday
yes first of all what's the point of
this first of all what does it mean
let's discuss what it means what it
means is the way the commentators will
discuss the commentary of the banura ra
banura who explains as follows what was
created on Sunday on Sunday we say in
the beginning hasem created heaven and
earth Heaven and Earth is created on
Sunday what was created on
Monday you remember bious on Monday
created the firmament that separates the
higher water from the lower water so
Heaven is cre created on Monday what's
created on Tuesday all produce all
plants flowers shrubs
trees legumes all the world of the B the
ban the world of batan is created on
Tuesday what about Wednesday the Sun the
moon the stars the planets what about
Thursday Thursday you have the birds and
the fish what about Friday Friday you
have all of the mammals all of the
mammals all of the animals beasts
mammals animals insects and the human
being shabas chabas is a day of rest so
now we'll understand the mishna if you
look at what was created on Sunday from
Earth you can make earn wear vessels
earn wear vessels were the most common
vessels that were made they're still
made in a lot of places earn wear
vessels is made from Earth you take
Earth you mix it with water you put in
some straw you have a Potter that molds
it you have a made pottery earn wear
vessels it's called clay you bake it in
an oven or in the sun if it's a hot day
and you have a beautiful earn wear
vessel that is susceptible to Tuma in
fact that's a very classic vessel that
easily becomes impure and it penetrate
so deeply because it's porous that a
mikah doesn't even help you have to
dissolve it you have to break it apart
it's Earth you can break it apart and
then put it together so that's Sunday so
but also
says Heaven and Earth and also water
water also the first day we have water
right it
says and water like a cup of water like
any liquid is also susceptible to
impurity so more than one
thing yeah yeah yeah cuz it says there
was already water yeah now we look at
Monday Monday is heaven heaven is not
susceptible to impurity and you can't
make vessels Out of Heaven okay so
that's Monday so Monday is pure what
about Tuesday Tuesday all the trees are
created you could make vessels out of
trees it's called clay eights wooden
vessels wooden vessels are susceptible
to impurity and they're all made from
trees that's Tuesday
what about Wednesday Wednesday you have
the Sun the moon the stars I never heard
anybody making a vessel from the Sun or
from the moon or from the stars or from
any other planet so it's not susceptible
to
impurity we'll skip Thursday for a
moment what about Friday oh Friday you
have mammals you have animals you have
people so if you take an animal you make
what's called clay etum vessels out of
Bones this was a very common vessel they
took bone and made out of a vessel it's
T it's susceptible to to Tuma so Friday
is also susceptible to impurity also a
person could become impure and any dead
animal if it's not Kosher and noted it's
called a AA it gives T certain dead
insects could give Tuma so that's why
Friday is a day that susceptible things
that were created on Friday are
susceptible to impurity shabas of course
not nothing was created on chabas what
about Thursday Thursday is interesting
fish and birds even when they die they
don't give out impurity they're not like
dead mammals that die which are called n
a dead fish doesn't give t and a dead
bird doesn't give T if you touch it or
carry it so Thursday is a day that's
like Wednesday it's pure but there is an
exception and that is you see even if a
person makes a vessel people sometimes
made Vessels from from birds or from
fish like from the skin but it's not
susceptible to T it remains pure only if
you make a vessel from a mammal what's
called clay etum from the bone the bone
of an animal which they use they use
till today what a whale huh what is a
whale a
whale it's in the sea a whale is is
Thursday is W is is Thursday so it's not
maab so since it's in the water so it's
in this case it's it's like in in this
area even though it has similarities to
mammals but in this area it's considered
a fish
so fish and birds if you make vessels
out of them they're not susceptible to
impurity mammals if you make a vessel
out of the bone of a mammal or the skin
leather all of leather leather clothes
leather coats leather garments leather
they would make leather leather jars
leather bars it was very good to hold
things in these are all made from the
hide of an animal or this vessels made
from the bones of an animal these are
all susceptible to Tom that's all Friday
but Thursday is only fish and birds and
if you make vessels of fish and birds
they're not susceptible to Tuma but
Thursday has two
exceptions the Egg of an ostrich is the
largest egg that we have and it's a very
powerful egg I don't know if you ever
touched it or held it it's not like the
egg of a chicken that you eat in the
morning the egg of a chicken if you drop
it a little
bit
yes you can eat a raw scrambled egg from
your counter but the Egg of an ostrich
is very powerful it also weighs heavy
and therefore people would use that egg
to turn it into a k turn it into a
vessel the Egg of an ostrich also a
vulture the wings of a vulture are very
strong so they would use that also to
turn it into a vessel so because of that
even though usually birds and fish are
not susceptible to impurity if they die
they don't give off impurity and if you
make vessels from them the rabbis knew
that people in their house had metal
vessels golden vessels silver vessels
tin vessels copper vessels right leather
vessels which are all susceptible to imp
they may have the ostrich's egg also as
a vessel especially if they plated it so
it should look nice so people could get
confused and if you say oh this is not
impure this is impure people say What's
the difference so that's why they made a
decree that when you make a vessel from
the Egg of an ostrich it's susceptible
to impurity rabbinic biblically it's not
because it's from a it's from a bird the
same is true if you make a vessel from
the bird of a vulture biblically it's
not susceptable to impurity so for
example even if a dead you'll forgive me
a dead weasel or a dead mice mouse falls
into it which usually is a source of
impurity it would not become impure but
the rabbi said because people would make
in their homes vessels from these things
and it could get confused with other
vessels they didn't want to make a
distinction so to keep it simple they
said these vessels are also susceptible
to impurity so that's why Thursday is
somewhat of a limbo place okay so for
those of you who did not shut down yet
first of all first of all it's good for
you to have an experience what your sons
do for 15 years in Yeshiva not for 45
minutes okay for 10 hours a day so a
little empathy a little empathy when
they come home in a bad mood it's good
for mommies to have empathy so I'm not
giving you the 15-hour experience I'm
not giving it to you I just gave you a
six minute experience and some of you
already shut down so it's just very
interesting
okay it was all
planned I'm just joking but it's I'm not
so I'm not completely
joking so what's the summation of this
the mission is telling us look at the
days of creation Sunday you will find
things that were created that are
susceptible to Tuma impurity Monday
gardish Tuesday
yes because again all the plants all the
shrubs all the trees Wednesday
garnished Friday yes mammals people
insects Thursday biblically no just like
Wednesday purely pure but Rabin there's
two things created Wednesday the ostrich
and the vulture that can create that
could become impure again if we fashion
them into vessels in the case of the
vulture we take the wing the wing of the
vulture we have some vultures here
sometimes if you notice on my black for
a while there were vultures visiting
very often they're very powerful wings
and they're aggressive aggressive birds
and their vessels the vessels are strong
and the ostrich as well that is where
Thursday the rabbi said two things could
be now the question is what was the
point of this mishna it's certainly
interesting Sunday Monday Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday Friday but so what
like what is there here is there a law
here and commentators struggled with
this it's an interesting it's an
interesting piece of information but
what is the relevance of it is there a
lesson here is there are there
ramifications here it's hard to
understand so for many generations it
was a struggle like what did the mishna
want to teach us is it just a sign to
remember like the mishna says is there
maybe something else
one of the great Masters was known as
thees which literally means the holy Jew
his name was RAB yakowitz he passed away
tala that would be
1813 and he was from the city called
piska in Poland it's around 100
kilometers like 50 or 60 miles from
warsa and he has two very famous
students the K and of so he was one of
the Great minaries of Polish jury in the
18th century and the first years of the
19th century he has a fascinating
interpretation here and he says this is
not just an abstract mishna talking
about Sunday Monday Tuesday that doesn't
seem relevant it actually has very
profound
ramifications because we know that our
calendar is orchestrated very very
carefully there's certain days when
certain holidays will fall out and
certain days they will never fall P out
rash will never be on a Sunday will
never be on a Wednesday will never be on
a Friday and there's a reason for it
there's astronomical reasons for it and
there were practical reasons for
it
yipper will only be certain days of the
week and won't be other days of the week
for example you will never have y Kipper
on a Sunday you won't have y Kipper on
Sunday you will have y Kipper on a
Monday you'll never have y Kipper on
Tuesday you will have y Kipper on
Wednesday you will have y on
chabas the sign for this
is
Auer a is alive gim or ego aive gim
AER will never be Al giml you will never
have Yer on a Sunday never on a Tuesday
never on a Friday you will have Yer on a
Monday you'll have y on a Wednesday
you'll have y on Thursday and chabas
never Sunday Tuesday Friday PM is the
opposite PM
is porm you'll never have porm on Zion B
doar you'll never have porm on
chabas you'll never have porm on Monday
you'll never have por him on Wednesday
you will have por him on Sunday you will
have por him on Tuesday you will have P
him on
Friday exciting porm now it's it's
interesting in y in such a year they
have what's called P which is a triple
PM it goes Friday shabas
Sunday and because of that they do
different things each day it's very
interesting like on Friday they're going
to read the mill usually they have p on
the on the 15th day but this shabas they
read on Friday shab they do they
read Sunday they have the meal and they
give they give
that's Tinus sester That's Thursday yeah
that's so so your sh it extends but
still cannot be ever on chabas so the
days that Yer can be purm can't be the
days that purm could be y Kipper could
never be so let's see again yipper will
never be Sunday will never be Tuesday
will never be Friday it can be the other
days it could be Monday could be
Wednesday
could be shabas we have on chabas purm
will never be on those days you'll never
have a PM on a Monday when y Kipper is
you'll never have a purm on a Wednesday
when y Kipper is you'll never have purm
on chabas when will you have purm you'll
have purm on a Sunday you'll have P him
on a Tuesday you'll have P him on a
Friday why in fact it says in
Z that puim was named because of
Y is the day
like so even though the Milla says was
named cuz threw Lots but let's
rememberer they also threw
Lots
huh Thursday I'm going to ask you to
wait for a few minutes but you don't
have a chair so we have to get you a
chair come
here there's three chairs here if you
want
so because of course came after Kipper
but puim is named this is what it says
in Z it's connected to now it's very
strange because if you would ask me
which are the two most opposite days in
the Jewish calendar I would say Pim and
yipper they have no similarities Yer is
a somber day it's a serious day there's
no eating there's no drinking there's
fasting purm I don't have to describe to
you what purm is like
the nightmare of many a Jewish woman and
many a Jewish mother especially if you
have teenagers who decide they're allow
of smoke and
drink so I don't mean to remind anybody
but the pro the challenge is how does
come together not only that it says in
that is
really so is like purm that means purm
in many ways is even higher than Yim
Kipper you're comparing Yim Kipper it's
which means
like and here in the calendar we see
their exact opposite the days that purm
will fall out Kipper can't the days
thater could fall out purm
can't oh says thees now you'll
understand the mishna on Sunday things
were created that are susceptible to Tom
Monday not Tuesday yeah Wednesday not
Friday yeah shabas not he says that's
the mishna is describing yipper versus
purm purm can be on a Sunday when you
had the creation of things that could
become
impure Yer can't be on a Sunday but it
could be on a Monday when there's no
impurity but PM can't be on a Monday
Tuesday it reverses yes PM noer it's a
day of impurity Wednesday yeser no it's
no impurity it's the Sun the moon the
stars if you'll notice Monday and
Wednesday Heavenly things are created
Sunday and Tuesday Earthly things are
also
created
Friday yipper will not be on a Friday
Purim will be on a Friday like this year
and that's a day of impur of impurity
shabas is a day of Purity shabas KES
nothing was created y could be on shabas
PM can't be on
chabas so that's so interesting purm
will only be on a day when things were
created that can become impure yipper
will never be on such a
day now in parenthesis we're going to
get back to this we have Thursday
Thursday we're going to as I told you
we're going to wait a few minutes we're
going to get to Thursday in a moment but
now we're dealing with the other day so
the says this is what really the mishna
is saying and writes he was one of the
great rabbis of Poland he was killed in
the war Soto pesak 1943 and he writes
that the Mish is actually telling us
that because of this when you make the
calendar you have to make sure that PM
doesn't fall out on certain days and Y
doesn't fall out on the other days P has
to be on days that are and Y on days
that are
not so that's yeah yeah we're talking
the big the
biger but what is the meaning in all of
this what is what is what is the message
what is the theme behind this so for
this we need to go a little deeper into
to understand the story of vashi and
Esther because this will shed light on
understanding exactly how this holiday
is created and why this change of the
days we all know the story aashish asks
Vash to come see him and show off her
beauty in front of all the ministers and
all of the people all of the people he
invited to the feast this is after
parting for 187 days drinking and on the
seventh day the last day of the party
his heart is
merried he's inebriated he's into
intoxicated vashi is sitting with the
women because she made her own feast and
he wants her to come and the Milla says
Vash was gorgeous and he wants to show
off he wants to display everybody should
see his wife's
Beauty she refuses to come the Milla
doesn't explain why K say Rashi says
because aish wanted she should come
without any garments and there was a
leprosy there so she didn't want to come
so why couldn't she just send him a
message and explain to him that this
will be embarrassing for him and it's
not he shouldn't take it personal it's
actually to save his grace as much as
her own Grace again the Milla doesn't
explain any of this but something
happens here that doesn't work and a is
infuriated and he has her eliminated so
that's the literal meaning of the story
this is the entire introduction to the
whole PM
Story how are we supposed to understand
this on a deeper level so there's a
fascinating explanation of the maharal
of Prague on the name of vashti the word
vashi reminds you of which word in
Hebrew
anybody what does mean two two so that's
what the maral says if you take a look
in your Source sheet it's the fourth
Source from the bottom
eser she's called which means two stay
because there was no one person there
were two people very interesting
commentary she wasn't one she was made
up of two so that's what her that's her
name Vash she's made up of two people
what is this supposed to mean what does
it mean to be made up of two people
she's split she's a different person one
day or another day what what is this
take a look at the source right
before
M there's a called it was written by a
it's the of a man named RAB Z of is a
city in Ukraine he was a student of the
maged of misri he was also one of the
great kasic Masters in Ukraine he has a
called mayor which means a Shining Light
and he actually passed away on purm and
he has a commentary on the Milla and I
quote I heard in the name of the he
says the king asked to bring and she
didn't want to
come so you have it on a physical level
you also have it on a spiritual
level what is it on a spiritual
level say is a king but is also a
[Music]
metaphor is a metaphor for the ultimate
King why would the ultimate King be
called so if you look in the second to
your last Source I'm going to go for a
second to second last jump there because
it says
there it's a book and wrote they bring
from the
is three words AIS the end Rous the
beginning shal are his the king that the
end and the beginning are his in other
words
Hashem AIS is the end of everything Rous
is the beginning of everything which
means from the beginning till the end
it's that's what they say but if you
look in your last
Source you know why he's called
comes from the word Shak black the face
of the Jewish people was blackened in
his days like the bottom of your chin
pot means the bottom of the pot doesn't
say chin that was my addition but when
you cook something and especially you
know you let it you told your husband to
take to shut the fire in 25 minutes okay
not your husband the cleaning lady and
she forgot and suddenly the whole pot is
black and now you have to be rubbing for
a few hours scrubbing so the bottom of
the pot is black so he says comes from
this word shakar Blackness like shakar
is black because the face of the Jewish
people were blackened in his days like
the bottom of a pot interesting
expression so we have a huge
contradiction tells
us the end and the beginning is his the
says no it means actually Blackness and
darkness because it was a very dark
period for the Jewish people no kidding
it was the first genocidal plan against
the Jews that almost
succeeded it was obviously anull but the
danger was intense and it lasted almost
for an entire year even after hamama was
killed because the decree came out you
gim that in a year you gim they should
kill the Jewish people so this was a
very very serious year a whole year
people don't realize it didn't PM didn't
happen as long as the Milla is read
Milla is read in 2 minutes PM happened
over more than a decade it's a long
story yeah more than 10 years yeah a
becomes a king in the third year he
makes a party vashi gets killed he's now
searching for a new Queen it takes
another few years on the seventh year of
his Reign Esther becomes the
queen then he hires hamon okay in the
12th year of his Reign Esther was
already a queen for five years years the
decree comes out the decree comes out
onim it's a decree that in 11 months gim
all Jews should be exterminated in one
day so Jews have a whole year to prepare
for their death so to speak and every
Jew is going to be
killed Esther comes into the next day
asks him to come to a party at the party
she asks him to come to a second party
at the second party she gets H executed
but the decree is still there there's
still a decree it's like if akman would
be killed or himler would be killed you
still have Hitler you still have a
holocaust you just have the main guy who
instigated it gone but the decree was
still there Esther then convinces aish
to send permission to the Jewish people
that they could defend themselves AES
never cancels the first decree people
think he never canel the first decree he
said I can't he just gave Jews
permission to fight back that's
it they got the second letter
and now a whole year they were waiting
for war they knew there's going to be
War it wasn't a simple year it was like
because they were gratified that they
have permission to defend themselves and
the government was behind them but you
were dealing with very very serious
situation listen to a 75,000 amim who
came to kill Jews and the Jews killed
them in
self-defense right somebody once told me
that they can't celebrate porum because
it's too violent because they killed
75,000 people I said read the Milla
these were 75 5,000 terrorists literally
Hamas terrorists who came to kill
children and the Jews killed them first
you should be grateful and if not you're
cuckoo you're cuckoo you're cuckoo you
lost every sense of morality they still
cucko till today I know that that's why
I'm saying it that's why I'm saying it
the reason I'm saying it you identify
with the perpetrator much more than with
the victim you have to choose do you
love life or Do You Love Murder you have
to choose in life I said the Milla is
not a barbaric story the Jews did what
every moral person did what you would do
for your children I hope and if not
you're an accomplice to evil in any case
it was why am I saying this want to know
how much time oh so this was a long time
so was it was a difficult
period so now let's come back it all
starts off with aashish wanting vashi to
come without clothes and she refuses to
come so the gar says there's a
leprosy that's one interpretation the B
the whole story and he turns it into a
psychological and spiritual story let's
see what he says back to that
Source you see the second
line let me share the holy
words all kpp means shells husks
blockages don't have a real don't have a
real reality in the
world only if they dress up in something
else they have to get dressed and
camouflaged they have to wear clothes
that's how they can
exist and here the King of Kings asks
vashi who is the embodiment of kipa of
shells versus Esther which is holy she
say he says I want vashi to come so
vashi wants to come with her garments he
says no I want kipa to come without its
garments she couldn't
come without garments there's no
existence so if there's no existence
there's nobody to
come without having camouflage being
camouflaged with garments there's nobody
there that's what we said Kip has no
msus no reality if it's not dressed up
so when he summons Vash to come without
it there's nobody to come there's nobody
here this is
deep and not every brain will contain
these holy
words so how do I have the audacity to
try to explain these holy
words so the answer is first of all
because I'm speaking to
women number one and it's all about Vash
and Esther
but with God's grace over the
generations that the B's words have been
explained by his students over the
generations I think at least a little
bit at least a little bit we can have
some access to his holy and profound
words yeah what is he saying he's saying
and uh you all know the story or many of
you know the story The Emperor has no
cloth right what's the story
yes they convinced him that there's a
tailor that's going to weave such an
amazing Royal aristocratic garment for
the king that it's barely visible it's
so adal it's so fine it's so subtle it's
so refined that you can't even see it or
touch it and this became the news of the
entire Kingdom that this greatest tailor
is making a garment that never existed
in history it is so fine it is so subtle
it's so adal it's like M thin of thin
you have to have special microscopic
eyes to see it and the day that the king
put on these garments
was you know some people dance
with and this was of this garment that
was so historic that regular eyes can't
see it and the King took off his regular
garments and he put on this garment and
he goes out for a prayed and everybody's
like wow wow wow wow and there was a
young
child and the child takes a look and
screams the emperor is
naked cuz children get it he has no
clothes the emperor has no clothes
that's it he said it as is and this
became the greatest tragedy how can this
child be educated and brainwashed in
such a powerful way to say that the
emperor has no clothes it's almost like
in America till a few weeks ago saying
that there's men and women like really
wow wow like you need a president to get
up in 2025 and like men and women wow I
never knew that nobody ever knew
that that's what happens to a country
right it's like frightened of course not
this pronoun that pronoun that pronoun
yet a
pronoun I think Mike Walsh did a
documentary what is a woman so he goes
to all the professors in America and
they don't know what hit them they don't
know what a woman is too
complicated so finally he goes to a tri
so he goes to a tribe in Africa and he
asks them and they all start laughing
what a muga he is and then he asks some
guy here in America the guy says Get
Married you'll figure it
[Laughter]
out the b says I'm just using this story
the B says sometimes it's the opposite
the kids Scream the child Scream the
emperor has no clothes what if it's the
other way the clothes have no
Emperor the clothes have no Emperor and
if the clothes have no Emperor they just
have clothes of an emperor so when the
King asks that the clothes be removed
what's left nothing nothing that's why
it doesn't even say the Milla vashi was
killed on a spiritual level it's not
about her being killed she just
disappears it's interesting the Milla
doesn't say aish killed Vash or anybody
killed Vash it said she shouldn't show
up anymore why is it said it why is it
say it in such a strange way because
spiritually that's the story
vanish Gone With the
Wind why is this what does this mean
this is what the maral says cuz Vash
means to there was no one person there
were two people what does it mean one
person what does it mean two
people what does the B mean kipa can't
exist without clothes what does that
mean aren't clothes a good thing they
can't exist and the moment you want it
without garments there's nothing there
where come from
the message
here is not just profound but it's also
really a guide for
Life the word kipa what does the word
kipa mean a shell a husk right kipa is
like in yish it's called
Uh a peel a banana peel an orange peel
you peel a banana to have access to the
banana we're very thankful a banana has
a peel because if bananas wouldn't have
peels you could leave a banana on your
counter without a peel and after a few
hours it's going to get brown if on the
tree it wouldn't have a peel it couldn't
survive the peels of fruits are what
allow it to survive through the weather
would allow them to become ripe to
develop maturity it's like a protector
it's like a coat in the winter it's
literally a coat so a cipa could be very
very good it's like the skull protecting
the brain it's a very important thing
when you have such a precious thing you
need protected grain has chaff it's
called straw it protects it if not the
kernel would either be scorched by the
Sun or ruined by the rain the chaff
protects the kernel but everybody
understands when you want to eat a
banana you peel the banana unless you're
a monkey if you want to eat an orange
you peel the
orange and if you want to eat the kernel
of a grain you remove the chaff and you
take out the kernel so the ciper knows
it's space
[Music]
oopsie
huh so so the CIP knows its space it
knows its role was it what is its role
its role is I'm here to protect the
moment I'm done protecting you want to
eat the banana discard me throw me in
the garbage and eat the banana enjoy it
throw out the chaff for use it for fuel
or use it for animal whatever it is and
eat the kernel grind the kernel make
flour and make a delicious
H that's healthy without carbs and
cholesterol
invisible yeah an invisible hitach an
invisible hitach very good very good
yeah the one I'm eating right now you
see it yes
okay I don't gain
weight that's a good Kiper that's a
beautiful Kiper the skin our it's called
epidermis protects us that's very very
important what happens however when the
kipa stops calling itself kipa when the
kipa says I am the real thing I'm not
covering I'm not covering
anything I am a substitute I am the I'm
the substitute for reality oh here kipa
becomes
dangerous here it's not doing its job
anymore it's not just an accessory it
takes over it occupies when we talk
about Cosmic kadus and kipa in cabala
andas and there's always the contrast
Kip Holiness unholiness why is it called
kipa
the answer is because the only reality
that really exists is the Divine energy
that saturates every single
creation that's the only
Ms every single reality is created every
single Moment by Hashem and therefore
the only reality that really exists
is is the Divine energy that flows and
cruises and vibrates in every heartbeat
in every breath in every cell atom
neuron in every black hole star frog
Turtle squirrel gazelle every tree shrub
plant every droplet of rain flake of
snow and grain of sand is essentially a
physical embodiment of the Divine
energy it's the word of Hashem that
continuously creates and vivifies and
animates every moment of existence
but we don't see that it's called kipa
there's a shell there's a husk the
choice a person makes and what we come
down here to the world is to choose in
which reality am I going to live am I
going to live in the reality of kipa am
I going to live in the reality of kadus
to live in the reality of kipa means I
get stuck in the shells in the coverups
that's what I start worshiping that's
what I start accepting and validating as
power and that means anything and
anybody outside of Hashem when the B was
a little child on the death bed he lost
his parents at a very young age he was 5
years old and as they say the last words
his father told him before he passed
away was isik two things I want to tell
you don't fear anybody or anything in
the world outside of Hashem love every
Jew with every fiber of your
being and the father passed away I guess
with those two lines he gave him
more than sometimes we can get a whole
life from listening to somebody he gave
him his soul and he gave him a mission
he gave him a mission and that's how he
live that's what he taught that's
essentially what he's teaching here as
well what does aora mean idolatry we
translated often as I worship a statue
or I worship a rock or I worship a
person but really what AAR means anytime
I grant reality reality to Kiper rather
than seeing it as a ciper that's just
covering that's a form of AAR I'm taking
it away from the frequency of
Oneness means strange other right zor
means strange anything outside anything
outside of that
Oneness now what does that mean in a
person's life in a person's
life AAR is not always dramatic
sometimes it's very very subtle but it
means whenever I give any power to
anything anything outside of the true
source and core of all reality and I
give that power and that's how I'm
living by and that's what's making me
stressed out and anxious so it's a very
human thing to do but right now I'm not
in touch with my own true life force and
energy I'm living in another space I was
taken away from that space and now I'm
living in a space of Brokenness of
loneliness of
Separation that's why the B says kipa
always exists in a garment it never
shows up
beer why not why do you think kipa
always has to be dressed up in something
else why do you think what would happen
if you removed all the garments and it
just shows what would
happen
huh yeah it ceases to exist why does it
cease to exist because its whole power
of existence is that it's a garment it's
a
coverup so if you if you if you expose
it and sh there's nothing there yeah
let's give a simple example yeah how do
you know if a business or an
organization is legit or it's corrupt if
it's corrupt or illegal Etc they will
not want you to open the books why not
very simple cuz if you start digging
you're going to find skeletons and
you're going to say this whole thing is
a farce when somebody a few years ago
somebody had a bonsai scheme you
remember $50 billion deceive people what
was the power of the panai scheme people
invested millions of dollars and they
thought they're getting a tremendous
amount of returns they were getting
nothing but everything was covered over
by
lies Every Lie could only exist if
there's a cover if there's no cover if
you say it as is it's never going to
survive name yeah yeah yeah
yeah and the same is true in so many
areas of life right whenever anybody
needs to cover up something why are they
covering up because they're afraid if
you reveal the truth its powerlessness
or its corruption or its evil is going
to be revealed so it's always dressed up
and
camouflaged now the question is in a
person's own personal life and that is
how many blockages do we live with I
want you to ask yourself I'm going to
ask myself how many things in our life
do we have blockages with that we're
dressed up in many many spiritual or
psychological and emotional
garments and they exist in order to
protect us but sometimes instead of
protecting us what happens is they can
cause us to become alienated from who we
really are so if you were to ask a
person and this is exactly what happens
here the King of Kings asks vashi to
show
up this is says is a story about life
every person in life at some point is
summoned to show up it can happen when
I'm young if I'm lucky it can happen
when I'm a little older it can happen
much older that depends on the
circumstances of of life but there's a
moment that the King of
Kings the one true reality that is the
source of everything Cosmic Oneness
summons vashi come come I want to see
you vashi is very good at this what does
she do she has beautiful clothes she's
dressed up she's about to come show off
the beauty he says no this time I need
you to come with you just you nothing
else Vash is like no way no way this is
what I need to come without any
blockages and what
happens there's no vashi left there's no
vashi left in a person's life what does
this
mean what does it look like to show up
to life with full presence without any
any
coverups sometimes a person has so many
coverups they don't even know how many
clippies they have sometimes my cipo
have developed so brilliantly over the
years that I don't even know there's
anything else I'm operating from that
place cuz I don't have anything else to
operate with these are the blockages
through which I operate what does that
look like in people's lives it can have
a billion different stories and
different colors but one feature for
example could be yeah I just to
what deserve disappear
yeaha in a bunker April
yeah it'ses like but no Punishment No
earthy punishment by any Court would be
able to give Hitler what he
deserved you realize
that that's why we say on every Jew who
was killed
it's not just it's not just we're not
looking for Revenge if you could punish
a criminal you have to punish a criminal
but it's something much deeper it's
something completely beyond the
imagination of what evil can accomplish
but this is what's so important to
understand about evil Evil's reality is
not real what do I mean it's not real
it's very real it reeks Havoc it means
its entire reality is based on a lie and
anything that's based on a lie cannot
endure
Forever both of my parents grew up in
the Soviet Russia communism so my mother
describes to me may she be well that in
hisory their history lesson she went to
Public School in Georgia South Russia
every few months they had to tear out
new pages from the history book because
this new person became person nrata by
Stalin so they never existed so for 70
years what was the power of communism a
lie they held the world in the grip of
Terror and millions of Jews supported
communism they thought Russia was a
paradise and it was all one big lie it
was a geham for for for millions of
people it was pure
Purgatory all evil all evil in the world
all negativity in the world its entire
power is kipa kipa is always
covers Stalin didn't come to say I'm
destroying the world Kamas doesn't say
we're here to burn babies
alive Iran Iran andala don't say or
Hitler didn't say we're here because
we're evil no we are the ones who are
just we're Freedom Fighters we love
children that's how it always is because
that's how kipa lives it lives in
Shadows it lives with coverups the
moment you remove it it's gone that's
why no evil lasts forever because its
entire existence is coming from what
from reality being buried now let's go
to our own life
let's not call it evil let's call it
blockages anything that exists in our
life that its entire Power is coming
only because there's
blockages is never going to be able to
carry you through life because it
doesn't really have an
existence only things that when you
remove all the blockages they're there
that's
kadus and that's when you could start
breathing but imagine if when I grew up
when I grew up and I didn't even know
this we all have a we have a Divine Soul
we have an animal Soul the animal soul
is a ciper for the Divine Soul it's like
a banana pill it's here to protect it
it's here to make sure that I live
physically if I need to go to the
bathroom I need to go to sleep I need to
eat I need to drink I'm too cold I'm too
hot that's the animal Consciousness like
an animal has a Consciousness that says
now you're hungry now you're thirsty now
you're in danger it's very very
important to have an animal's Soul if
you don't have an animal so you can
survive but it's a ciper it's a shell
but what happens when it's not only a
shell it replace es my Divine soul I
don't even know that anything is inside
so now my animal Soul develops all of
these instincts and drives and Cravings
right for example one thing I may do is
I may numb my feelings because my animal
soul is frighten maybe it was hurt a lot
as a child so if I don't have feelings
I'm fine maybe it will become
disassociated from life because if I'm
disassociated I won't feel pain maybe it
doesn't trust anybody cuz as a child
maybe I couldn't trust so now I don't
trust anybody maybe if I'm criticized by
some body I feel like I'm being stabbed
to death and that's why I can't deal
with it I become defensive I shut down
because my animal soul is frightened
because maybe criticism as a child meant
you're
worthless so these are all protective
mechanisms that we live with we develop
personalities around them we think this
is our
personality but really what is it it's a
coverup for the truth this is all based
on a cover up of my truth what's your
truth truth your truth is that right now
you're a Channel of God's light in this
world which is infinite and therefore
you're full of power you're full of love
trust compassion curiosity
inquisitiveness creativity kindness
yeah nice question good
question SAS means to cover you're
saying here that kipa doesn't exist with
only in a cover isn't nearest cover
beautiful question okay one
moment yeah yeah yeah
yeah that's how you
know how do I know if I'm touching
something of Holiness or something of
unholiness so let's say I have a cing to
something yeah this is a very good lmus
test if it's an if it's AER craving and
you tell theer you know what I want to
First research this which I'm craving
give me a few days I want to see exactly
what it is CER will always say no no no
no no
now it always is impulsive it's right
now it's urgent why because it knows
that if you give it time if you dig a
little bit you're going to see there's
nothing there so it right away it's
temptation is always immediate its
reaction is right now it's overwhelming
it's an urgency kadus doesn't mind if
you research it for 20 years you could
excavate you can go deeper and deeper
and deeper and deeper you're going to
find truth as deep as you dig in
ourselves there's things that if I
puncture the blockage wow there was
nothing there I was just protecting
something that doesn't really have power
I thought it does but it didn't kadus
means you're living with your innermost
core that never has to protect itself
with any coverups so what does this look
like in a relationship how many coverups
do I bring into a relationship with
another person how many
blockages huh yeah and sometimes if I
know somebody for long it may be that
the blockages are just entrenched in a
much more sophisticated and Powerful way
because to come without blockages is
very vulnerable because it's full
presence full presence is vulnerable
full presence is I'm not wearing any
vests I'm not wearing any bulletproof
vests I'm not wearing any Lush I'm
completely completely
open that is extremely extremely
vulnerable that is why I dress up that
is why we cover up it's a way of
protecting a person's
self so now Vash is called Vash what did
the say she is two people what does it
mean she's two people she's two people
is she does not know who she is there's
the vashi at the core and there's the
vashi of the kipa when the vashy of the
kipa takes over so now you're not
dealing with a person you're dealing
with a shell of a person and sometimes
people could walk around their whole
life and you say there's two people the
real person is buried somewhere
invisible we don't know where they
are a woman once told me she's very deep
and spiritual person so she told me that
her husband had a lot a lot of trauma in
her life she also did but she worked it
through he's in middle of it so uh so
she told me that sometimes in their
marriage you just put it on vibrate so
sometimes in their
marriage she's talking to him and he
just shuts down there's nobody there
it's like a shell a shell of a person
so I asked her so what do you do then so
she told me she said I speak to his
Nish I speak to his soul because there's
nobody there and I said does his soul
speak back she says yeah his soul says
yeah I also miss him you miss him and I
also miss him so sometimes it was a very
very deep response like I said what do
you tell her soul I tell him that I miss
him so much and the Soul says yeah I
also do right so this is really where
there's like this disassociation like
I'm just living behind shells and husks
and I can't get let I can't let anything
anything get to me and this is what you
really talk about a shell of a person
there's a person they're alive they're
breathing they may be functional they
may have even 3,000 employees or 100
employees they may make money they make
they figur it out how life works but
essentially behind it
all the person is not there it's hidden
person has been alienated from
themselves
and there's reasons we do this in life
it's usually unconscious but then it
becomes a nightmare for the person
themselves they are tortured we could
feel it whenever there is anxiety is
always a wakeup call that there's a
split in me something is split something
is off something is off base comes
Esther what's Esther interesting what
does the name Esther mean hiddenness
concealment whoa you just attacked vashi
for being behind Kip and what's Esther
Esther is concealment but what's the
difference between Esther and vashi Vash
is called vashi which means two Esther
means concealment that's her name what
does it mean that's her name why she why
is that her
name cuz Esther knows that there's a
concealment and that's the difference
Esther's name is concealment not because
there's no concealment there is a
concealment but she just knows how to
distinguish between that which is
concealed and that which is not
concealed the moment you know that
there's a h
that's already a whole different
situation you see we all have blockages
in our lives there's no person who's
alive that doesn't have blockages kipa
is a part of reality our animal soul is
kipa and it sometimes can get out of
hand there's a few sadim that transform
it
completely that's not the challenge the
real challenge is that I don't know what
is kipa and what is not kipa Esther
knows this is concealment she knows
what's behind it I know this a banana
peel I know I can't eat the banana peel
what does that mean in a person's life a
person's life it means you could really
look at yourself and you say you know
what my animal Soul just took over yeah
I went into shutdown mode I went into
angry mode I went into jealous mode I
went into hatred mode I went into empty
mode I went into blah blah blah mode I
went into anxiety mode I went into fear
mode I went into comparing myself to
other people mode I went into the mode
of oh my God oh my God my family is
falling apart mode
oh my God the world is falling apart
mode okay got it got it so give your
little boy or your little girl is
throwing a tantum the world is falling
apart porum is coming we don't have shus
Yankee doesn't have a costume yet where
are we going to do the meal OMG and
whoever called porm a happy
day the happiest day really the happiest
day and then you hear some sheer this
person says that what you D in porum is
going to come true but P him you're so
anxious who's ding what's
daving the power power of Kip is
anything that takes you away from
presence in this moment realizing is ver
shal that's kipa kipa is very
sophisticated it uses Holiness it's like
PM is coming PM is coming and you're not
inspired oh let's feel guilty guilt
great way to celebrate guilt helps
everybody get inspired we all know that
it just shuts everybody
down life is about here now Esther knows
there's concealments but she knows it's
a concealment she doesn't worship the
concealment self awareness the awareness
the awareness of what self is an animal
Consciousness that's hijacking my
creativity and what self is a Divine
Consciousness that the animal Soul needs
to needs to flow through
every person in this life right I have
moments in my life I know I'm now in
flow there's an openness there's a
vulnerability there's a presence and
there's always a joy because whenever
you're in Hashem space there's joy and
confidence and then there's moments I'll
just eat whatever I see I'm desperate
there's an anxiety I'm afraid okay what
do you do then what do I do then the
worst thing is just go there don't go
that RAB but weirdness the ability to
observe that and see that to to see the
Hester to see wow my soul is about to be
hijacked that's it that's what you got
to know my soul is about to be hijacked
your child says something your husband
says something your wife says something
some men will watch this anybody says
your mother your sister your brother
your sh your partner your sh whatever it
is your sister-in-law who never
makes right and she calls you why don't
you visit your
mother right and and a part of me gets
triggered what is it I don't know maybe
my insecurity maybe history maybe I feel
used in this family I'm the one who
helps always and then I'm the whatever
it is and my animal soul is now getting
I'm trying to protect myself jealousy is
a way to protect hatred is a way to
protect gossip is a way but it's all CIP
doesn't make anybody feel better because
it's all living from coverups that don't
have a real true reality and whenever my
life is not a manifestation of true
reality it plates it's like a balloon
that gets deflated and there's nothing
there it's like a marriage that looks
good to the world but inside is ratten
how much joy is there going to be in
that
marriage it's like a couple ones came to
see me years ago and uh they're telling
me you know that that that last night
they were Mitzvah and there was a couple
at theog Bo and they said that couple
was what we want to be like they didn't
know that that couple was there
earlier my point is I'm saying in you we
things could look good on the
outside
really how how much does that mean but
it's true in everybody's life that
way there could be things on the outside
that are very very glamorous but that's
the moment the moment you open up
there's nothing there and that's the
clown you have to ask some yourself when
all the garments are removed what's
there how much power is there how much
relevance is there how how much is this
going to sustain you that's where you
want to spend your time
that's where you want to be because
that's your energy that's your life
force that's the only place to be Esther
knows this the moment she knows that
she's in a different
place the king summons every person and
that's a gift what does it mean to get
summoned by The King by a what does it
mean it means that there's situations in
life that challenge us to be able to go
much
deeper and those are gifts they're
usually curve balls in life that
challenge us to go into a much deeper
place it may be a crisis with a child it
may be a crisis with a marriage it may
be a crisis with your own mental health
it may be a challenge in your family in
yourself physically financially
emotionally spiritually it may be
something else that happens inside or
outside but these are curveballs that
challenge my kipus they're like oh not
everything is perfect
you know people create a trajectory for
life I'm going to have a perfect
marriage and perfect kids and they're
all going to give me nakas and put them
on the conveyor belt I'm going to hatch
them and match them and dispatch them
and then call me for and I'll pay for a
little bit of the
Mitzvah and then things are like not
working out exactly that way really it's
the king knocking on the door of vashi I
want to see you I want a relationship
with you and I want to come with my
clothes again I always want to come with
my clothes a nice suit a nice tie
whatever that means he says no no no
this time I want
you what does that look like I don't
even know Vash I'm split I don't know
who I am I'm one person for the world
I'm another person inside I'm one person
for the for the planet I'm another
person on the inside I'm one person for
everybody else I'm another person for me
and even for myself I may be two
people so vashi puts on the clothes of
the
emperor says I want to see you you you
you you and the every year puim it's a
deeper invitation go deeper into you you
you but Vash at her core is Kiper so she
dissipates when you get to the truth
there's nothing there that's what kipa
is there's Mish nothing there people who
have invested their whole life in
Clipper and they meant well Prestige and
fame and power and and uh and social
status to whatever it is it could by the
way spirituality and religion can also
be used in this way it's just a way of
inflating my poor ego that's looking for
protection problem agressive problem
that become very very toxic it become
very I can use God for this too but how
do you know this you know it that it's
very hard for you to be vulnerable it's
very hard to for you to be joyfully
alive and present because there's always
an anxiety vashy means there's going to
be anxiety because there's a split and
whenever there's a split in the soul
there's anxiety it's like alarm clock
something is off something is off
something is
off just to say a word about
sasas means to cover but what's the real
purpose of it the real purpose is
actually to speak the truth to
uncover because after
theas before theas without close the
moment kipa comes into the world now you
have to understand what it does that
nurtures it and what it does actually to
pause and see the
truth when you live in a world that if
somebody walks around without why are we
wearing clothes if kipa has clothes the
answer is two types of clothes it's like
a banana peel there's clothes that
actually protect the person from
themselves and from others of seeing
them simply as a piece of meat whatever
that means seeing that there's something
deeper here so these are clothes that
are actually inviting me to go deeper
like a peel of a banana and then there's
clothes that are like blockages like a
sack a sack that just blocks so you have
to understand what type of cover it is
there's a cover in order to honor what
is inside not to block it not to destroy
it s is by Jews is not like in some
other cultures where we don't believe
that people are allowed to be beautiful
and have dignity on the contrary it's
actually to preserve to preserve the
dignity and the beauty in the right
places in the right context so that it's
not abused and manipulated and exploited
and actually undermines the Dignity of
the woman or of the
man in a world where there is cipa you
need to be able to use protectors in a
very productive and healthy way if I
just walk around vulnerable naked I
don't mean physically emotionally
psychologically you could get hurt we do
all have prote
there's etiquette there's ways of
talking I don't walk around telling
everybody every problem I have in my
classes I do sometimes but not every
problem I have a few I have some
more it's not because everybody is
dishonest because because it's it's
about it's being it's the key is are you
the owner of your kipa or does your kipa
own you that's the key difference you
have to have covers just like we go to
sleep with blankets but do I own it or
does it it own me am I aware of what's
Happening you show up to certain
relationships the person may not be
ready for more that's fine it's not
about lying or manipulation it's
presence with my true self but it's
presence in this relationship with these
circumstances so now
now we understand what it
means that a has two opposite
meanings the beginning and the end is
his means their story was the Jewish
people were BL were black which one is
it that's The KES of
Esther you could look at
life and everybody's life has two
different interpretations and it's not
about judging or arguing it's really
about a frequency of energy I could look
at life and say this is a time when the
face of the Jewish people is blackened
like the bottom of a pot
those are the moments of stress or
anxiety or crisis collectively that we
have or individually that we have in our
own lives and that's that's you can also
look at the same reality and
see I'm in the grip of the one that the
beginning and the end is his which am I
going to live with it's both both it's
both kazal say both it's not one is
right the other one is crazy you're not
crazy it's very
normal Vash in her life is split she
lives in a split World cuz the inner
truth is buried somewhere Esther walks
the world and says there is concealment
and I'm going to choose to live in
Revelation and not in
concealment if you'll see the third to
the last
Source the source of Esther and is the
I will hide but who's going to hide I
will hide but it says hter Aster twice
because when the hiddenness is hidden
then it's not Esther anymore then you
have a problem if I know that there's
something hiding here you're good if the
hiddenness is hidden the Hester is beer
ooh that's really that's the problem of
kipa I may know I have a challenge I am
now in survival mode I am now in coping
mechanism mode I just shut down for the
next 2 hours don't talk to me cuz I'm
shut down you know what you're pretty
healthy good
stuff I am now I'm now in in a difficult
space I need to come back home okay so
let's find the mechanism to come back
home maybe you need to breathe maybe you
need a sleep that's always a good
thing maybe a salt bath maybe some
exercise maybe a hike in kakat park
maybe a brisk walk maybe a telephone
conversation maybe DAV learn whatever it
is you find the mechanism to bring
yourself back home I'm not home but
Esther knows about
Hester and because of that it changes
everything and that's why what's the
Milla millas Esther what's migas eser
literally to reveal that which is hidden
M look at lot so now you'll understand
the difference of P
you remember what we started with when
you shut down in the beginning cuz you
didn't know how this is going to help
your
marriage I hope you figured it out by
now so let's go back to Y this is
exactly the whole
point will only be in a day that can't
be T cuz
what's Kipper we're like angels for 24
hours we don't eat we don't drink people
don't bathe we don't engage and all the
things that ker we abstain from it's a
day we even dress in white people pray
all day it's a day of spiritual
Transcendence the goes into and we go
into our the only day we
say loud because we're like the Angels
so we're not hiding anything so Yer is a
day in which you're uplifted from the
world it's a day of Sublimity does it
mean yipper we don't have difficult
moments we may have some people have
very very traumatized yippers that's
things we have to work through but the
energy of Yer is an energy of purity of
Sublimity of transcendence then comes
Pur purm is precisely in days that are
susceptible to t you don't make puim on
a day that can't become T Sunday yeah
Monday no Tuesday yeah Wednesday no
shabas no Friday yeah why what do we
have against PM that's the whole what
does t mean what does it mean to be pure
what does it mean to be impure
Purity
is that's why death which is the
opposite of is the opposite ofus means
alignment connection attachment no
you're not split when I'm split I'm not
aligned there's a split I'm broken
alignment means there's
Oneness you're in a place of alignment
over there there's always joy and
confidence because you're a
manifestation of Oneness over there I
can always be present and vul vable and
experience the flow of Love cuz that's
what I am the flow of
love that's Tara what's Tuma Tuma is
there's a disconnect that's what
impurity is Tuma will always attract
itself to places that are potentially
rich and holy like bees go to the
honey a real robber doesn't steal from a
snarer you go to the bank you go with
the money
is yeah you know they say about the
thief that went into some Jewish Bank in
Israel right and they found a billion
dollars in
pledges that's not going to work the
kipa goes where the Kusha is that's why
those who do more spiritual work will
always have more resistance at some
point the
says it's like you lift weights the
stronger you get you lift heavier
weights they're going to give you a
heavier weight to create more resistance
to tear the tissue it's not a punishment
it's precisely that when we reach a
higher frequency of Life boom we get
tested in that space to work through
that kipa too people get discouraged you
don't have to get discouraged it's part
of the process of growth so as a result
of that when is puim only in days that
are susceptible to T because the whole
idea
of you could look at life and say it's
black it's like the bottom of a pot the
bottom of a pot is just it's like you
don't even want to eat it
it's like the leftover food like the
drgs god forgot about me or you could
look and
say if you were living in that story it
was a story at the surface it seemed
like Jews were completely random victims
of two crazy
people one worse than the
other that's what it looked at the
surface what was Esther's power Esther's
power was she did not lose herself even
for a
moment why she knew it's a concealment
it's
really you're in the world of God you're
in the grip of Hashem every moment of
life and even every challenge of life
it's a challenge and it's dark and it's
black and it's difficult Esther doesn't
say there's no concealment puim is on a
day that you could become T it's
susceptible to impurity if there would
be no Darkness you can't become impure
Angels don't become impure
in holy of Holiness there was no
impurity puim is made precisely on a day
when you could become not when you could
become T that's why it's higher
than because it does something that even
Pur can't accomplish even physically
purm is a very different day there's no
high on purm puim you're eating and
you're drinking and you're making a meal
and sending and
giving people are waiting for the
inspiration of purm to hit them the
whole P huh drunk
I'm not sure the whole power depends
what drunk means depends what drunk
means we spoke about m going higher than
the real idea of puim is you have
nowhere to run right here
it's some people are waiting put him
something to happen nothing happens this
is what the nothing that's happening
that is what's happening that's why it
says when mhia comes the one holiday
that won't be nullified is pur what's
all the holidays will be here but all
the represent an Ascend to a higher
reality and more inspiration so now the
question is how much inspiration are you
experiencing when mhia com going to be
so much inspiration that all the other
holidays are going to be like lighting a
candle in the
afternoon the is not inspiration the of
is that the itself the nature itself the
Hester itself this moment itself that
I'm in in here
is the beginning and the end is all his
it's a place of infinity that
encompasses everything that's why the
first words of
the what's the word hide in Hebrew means
what
glory is light
right told take your light and put it on
yesu what's the word
Kush black so one is light and one is
dark from the greatest light to the
greatest
Darkness I'm not only a m when there's
no T even when there is T even when
there is a Hester Vash represent that's
what she invests in and that's why she
had such a hard time she hated chabas
she used to make Jewish girls work on
chabas without clothes shabas freaked
her out cuz shabas is the time of kadha
Esther is the
opposite she knows about that p and
therefore she pierces through it and
therefore she doesn't get no SPO from it
in a person's life it
means that I could be in a state where
it's dark and I feel that and then I
could bring myself back home and
sayous shal right here right now in this
situation right here right now in this
situation there's a larger truth that I
may not understand that I may not know
but I can hold on to
and it could give me a very very
profound sense of presence and
vulnerability and there's a lot of tears
but there's also tremendous
joy and that's why it
says so thear says he wasn't from sh yud
he was from sh so the gar says because
he
was he denied AAR and agreed to what
does it mean he denied AAR this is M and
Esther it's not that he didn't bow down
to aara that's for sure he didn't do he
denied the reality of
aara that aara really exists that's what
drove hmon crazy hmon wasn't so
perturbed that he didn't bow down to him
you know what drove him crazy when M
looked at ham ham F looked at him and
said you don't really
exist Hashem exists you're a conduit
you're a channel some people are part of
the play by being the heroes and some
people are part of the play by being the
villains you remember in Camp when you
did a production in school right which
one were you the hero or the villain
they're both part of the play and at the
end everybody takes a bow together the
question in history is do you have the
to be the hero or you the
villain looks at H and says you don't
have power the says what's the source of
H and what type of question is this the
answer is there's no h without T there's
no h without t m looks at H and doesn't
think he's a reality he knows it is
you're a big fat
coverup God wanted it to be a cover up
it's a challenge it's painful but I'm
going to bow down to this I'm going to
sell my
soul hon went crazy from this somebody
that denied the core of his reality he
went crazy and that's why the worst
thing for kipa is when it suddenly has
to surrender its very existence it dies
if there's kadus under it it starts
living
when you surrender what's called an ego
death you let it go and the real thing
comes out now you now now you could
breathe finally I was under like you're
living under a rock your whole life you
come up from under the rock H you could
start
breathing but that's only if there's
something there ham went why did he have
to kill M he didn't bow down to why did
he have to kill every Jew because there
was no pain for H like the pain of
knowing that these people don't think he
really exists imagine his whole life he
invested in trying to build up his
existence and deep down M looks and
says he doesn't even exists Hashem
exists if you exist as part of Hashem of
course you exist then you're Eternal
then you're infinite you don't need you
don't have a better existence and if not
you never existed you're never going to
exist you're a challenge that was
created that's what he looks at H H
couldn't forgive him so therefore PM is
precisely in a day that's susceptible
cuz that's the whole of Esther to reveal
the truth of the concealment that in a
place where you could easily be
disconnected you choose connection you
choose Oneness you choose the
relationship now let's let now let's
bring it all together so now let's come
back Sunday
Sunday because it's t
Monday CU there's no T
Tuesday T Wednesday because there's no
Friday is not there is shabas is not
because there's no the problem is
Thursday Thursday is the only day of the
week that can be both and could be
Thursday could be Thursday so that under
Ms the whole
class so now you can go home but but so
here listen to this and here you see how
precise and meticulous every word in is
is a holiday that was created
whener was who who where does Yer come
from what's the source of
Yer soer is a Biblical holiday that
comes
from when was purm
created is it's not biblical didn't
exist in the time of puim it's not like
the Mitzvah of shabas or kashus or sukus
or
PES Purim is a rabic institution and the
time of M and Es after the miracle
happened which was already after the
destruction of the first bikes the end
of the Babylonian exile the beginning of
the period of the second bikes that's
when PM is created not by mha not by
Hashem it's created by the sages and the
rabbis just like Kaneka was created
later so now let's look at Thursday
Thursday let's ask this question
biblically from a Biblical tah
perspective can there be impurity on
Thursday no
no from a Biblical perspective so
therefore Yer which is a Biblical
holiday is on a day when there's no T
because on Thursday from a t perspective
there's no T but now let's ask another
question from a Rabin perspective on
Thursday can there Bea yeah the wing of
a vulture and the ostrich egg porm is a
RAB holiday so from a Rabin perspective
is there t on Thursday yeah from a
biblical IAL perspective there's no t on
Thursday because nothing gets t on
Thursday soer which is a Biblical
Holiday from the days of M is on a day
when there's no Tom Thursday but p is a
rabic holiday from a rabic perspective
is there Tom on Thursday yeah two things
the wing of an ostrich or the wing of a
vulture what's called
KF from the word o and bait as Bas and
the Egg of an ostrich which are strong
strong Birds very strong very powerful
and there there could be T So p is on a
day of T so Thursday is the only day
that the two can come together because
on this day you have from one side from
one aspect of History there's no t for
from another aspect there is T so now if
so we come to the idea and we understand
the gor says whenever it
says wherever it says it's it's pain
means it was it came to pass it's like
passive is it will be when somebody says
it came to pass
like and it's interesting if
you what's the what's the
pain if
it's why do we say but that's again the
whole point of Esther because the tar is
that it's not revealed
that in a revealed way you see you have
to learn in that
it's once spoke to hasem and he said I
don't know what you want if you would
have put all the cravings and negativity
of this world into books and ganen would
be right in front of our eyes M but you
did the opposite G you put into the oh
all the problems of the world you put in
front of our eyes come on it's not it's
not fear so what do you want that's what
the B said
that's since in a revealed way
it's the
regular you need to learn and think and
meditate and work on yourself and find
your inner soul but at the surface is a
that conceals so that's why is
because there's still the pain that it's
not revealed in the manifested way
because ultimately it's all in so really
it's but it's work it takes work and
there's a pain over there why is it not
revealed why is it not manifested the
soul has Bliss but there's a pain why is
it not manifested why is it not revealed
why are there so many coverups why are
there so many
blockages
that's even in in
the and that's why puim is the
quintessential holiday that gave the
Jewish people the power in gas to be
able to penetrate and see the truth in
the darkness but still know that is the
pain that the infinite full love is not
revealed in the most manifested way
which is the ultimate G may we see it
before have a beautiful and a
