Hoshea: Chapter 14 - Rav Berel Povarsky Illuminates The 2 Ways To Return

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com the way it worked out we're now learning the last Park of haishea which is the haftirah of Shabba Shiva so hopefully we're going to try to finish that um between today and then we have Friday and then we're sashem the following Friday we'll try to finish this um and the sukim preceding this prophecy speak about the Lumen Doom facing the Jewish people it almost seemed hopeless there's no way out we're wallowing and languishing in our sin but then the navi tells us yes [Applause] return Israel until Hashem your Lord because you have stumbled in your sin we're all familiar with the gamar and Yuma the gamma Numa dactions andaf aise chuva is great it reaches all the way to the throne of Glory Israel like it says return Israel until Hashem your God foreign and the question is why does it have to reach all the way up to the case it doesn't ever says it doesn't say good dealer so why is it necessary for chuva to come all the way to the kise what is the significance of that of God actually it's the bottom of so we once said as follows that there's one thing in this world that really goes against logic so much so that the Torah doesn't really speak about it even though the sages and the prophets don't understand it and only Hashem himself could comprehend such a thing and that is chuva because if a person's sin how does he wipe out of reality what he what he committed the concept of repentance does not exist in the real world if someone commits a crime they pay the price whether they're repentant or not and yet himself has to carve a special tunnel up to his so to speak don't have access to it so they can't interfere with it that is why chuva must reach all the way to the kise now let's let's understand this in the context of the storyline who is being forewarned to do chuba who is this being addressed to so the Jewish people but is it to a specific group Brian we've been talking about a prime all along right so let's start with mitsuda's David Shiva Israel located because because of your sins this stumbling has come so let's see the stuff it doesn't give us uh detailed information if you look in the Mahari Kara marikara says since all of this was decreed upon you therefore I say Israel return Israel before this happens you've stumbled in overcast you don't have the strength to stand up to them but says Rashi shuva Israel it's specifically referring to the benayyuhuda why because we just learned in the previously desolate so xiamen already it was too late for them they already were punished God then tells Yehuda watch out yahudah so that what happened to them will not happen to you it says Rashi penikra askam kishomrons the king sent the general and he told the general to destroy the Medina he was a knowledgeable and patient General um he said to them give yourself a couple days to sort this is watch out otherwise I'll raise you like I raised this other community in this other City therefore in the Posse before it says shamron was laid desolate Israel okay so according to Rashi this is a warning to the banay Yehuda if you look in the album The malbum learns that this plastic was addressed to the shamrohn before it was destroyed foreign you could do chuva says the gemara in uh um is great she has a dinosaur-like intentional sins are downgraded to unintentional ones now listen carefully a volume is amazed right and yet then it calls it a kiss line a stumbling a show gig so what do we see from here chuva is great that it could transform a mazid into a shy gig now we're all familiar that rayshlakis likewise says the intentional sins are downgraded to show again if you do too bad of love the intentional sins are transformed into Mitzvahs that means this pasok of Shiva Israel is referring to what kind of chuva chuvamira after all the warning here is you know lest I destroy you like I destroyed the shamran okay let's read the next part let's read the next Rashi first we say we're using both names of Hashem there's a specific meaning here look in Russian Hashem return Yes otherwise he's going to turn into the Midas you don't want your defense to become your prosecution okay so here's where right foreign take for yourself words [Applause] take with you words what does it mean take with you words simply what are the words that it's referring to what would you say these words are remorse but what are the words what words does chuva entail vidoy right Vita it's referring to the words of edoi let's say look in the attack da bring with you words of of acknowledgment meaning you don't have to spend money on this I'm not asking you to donate take with your words I'm say to him say to God call Tisa avayan or it could be read all of my sins [Music] take my good actions we know there's a concept that God is not pleased with one's Mitzvahs so long as the person is far from him and let our lips be a payment of cows meaning in lieu of the in lieu of carbonus except maithila we know there's a famous concept that our Filas to me them tilos connected carbonis this is derived from the from the words let my lips repay cows look at mm-hmm [Music] it's good what other difference is there between plastic base and pasta gamma wow what else um says it says add Pastor gimmel l which sounds like you're closer to Hashem yeah I'd come in odds sometimes or until until this point L is is very close so that's uh because that's what I want to discuss that's what I want to discuss why in plastic Bays is it odd and a plus a gimmel it's l and I have a sheet on that but let's just um finish this pasok Rashi says please forgive all of our sins we translated that Hashem accept my good actions accept my good actions um Rashi says teach me the good way teach me the good way you know the few good deeds that are in our hands take in your hand because after them likewise David said foreign mean thanks because we know there's only one thing that's tithe L Hashem so that means synonymous with thanks and we say it means thank take our thanks foreign they should be repaid buried soy in appeasement the words of our lips but what we pointed out is why is it that impossible base it's we also know there's a madrish a devaram is what are these devarams so we translated davarum as what video however if you look in the matter shrava the matter shrava says so the matter says means learning well if that's the case why are we sticking learning in here we're talking about shuva after all we saw in the mepharium we saw in the mafoshim that it refers to avidoy so how could the matter say it's referring to illuminators I want to share with you I'm a beautiful shot in these tubes okay um this comes from a safer bad koi Dash the bad koi Dash is Tyra of um pavarsky Roberto pavarsky who's rashiva panovic today add those close to see him when I was in her so many years ago foreign first of all why does it says why does it have to say it twice because missing right and I would look at this now based upon what we've just described I would say is more inclusive whereas Julie Israel is more limiting okay but you could say what you could say that you know once we gave the noun it's obvious we're referring to you so we don't have to repeat again okay let's see how he says it out he says a very nice explanation he says look look in the radak the radak says um the radak says foreign however in the mattress it says in the matter shroud on shamois it says question being what does Torah have to do to her another it says in uh narisha it says says the barrel pavarsky we know there are two types of chuva there's tuva Mira and chuvamira transforms and then there's a so he says like this the gomorian put in Yuma already established that the posix that's only an ad like the gamara says that's only AB ad amazed becomes a milkshaw so let's talk about by the way we know chuvamira is odd because it says when you're in distress so we know when you're in distress and you do that's the only ad but then there's a higher level of chuva there's something called what Mitzvah do we have that elevates a person to abasashem tamatar like it says foreign but if you're involved in Lima that Torah then you'll reach the majiggo vesuvu El Hashem then you'll reach much closer yeah so that's only the Euro yeah yeah and and there it's only removes the bad decree but to get to a level of closely that that requires tamatara okay that's a it's a nice way of reading them again so now I want to share with you the ebenezera um okay a beautiful Ebenezer here they've been Ezra says if we could find it shuva ad means until just say return foreign on the word until denotes eventually you'll get there until do this until that implies says even Ezra little by little but the novice saying is you're not expected to get there tomorrow in one year in 10 years but you're expected to do little by little little by little and uh there's a mattress yakushmani that there was a big rock on the crossroads that pass survives would stumble across so the king would say don't worry just shave it little by little until one day I'll remove the whole thing so too the Sahara is a big stumbling block shave it off little by little that's the only way to do it until the day will come that Shawn will take it away but the Vanessa learns that the word a little um odd implies so always think you know there's a concept that when we come to do our best Hashem helps us they say I'm heard about the invention of the elevator he was very excited because he said the elevator is a perfect martial all you need to do is take one step further one step forward and Hashem will carry you all the way up that's you know how you have to do your little thing like hazal say so I always think that's the message message of the cipher on the bottom there's a little small hole that's on our part that's all we have to do but on the top of it it's open wide that indicates that if we open up just a little bit the Revenge someone's gonna open things wide for us that's why we say Revenge I'm recording to you from the confines you know we're only able to do very little anonym please open wide Frost okay valid I sure well yoshieno we had so many times in the previous program how cloudy strong instead of putting their faith in God put their faith in Egypt and in Assyria that they're going to come bail us out so now we finally admit that we cannot put our faith and trust in anybody other than God don't think that any country in the world even the biggest don't think well you know United States moved the embassy to Jerusalem so we could always rely on them you know they're now they're pro-israel now they have our back no part of the Chupa process is Syria is not they're not going to help us we cannot mount a horse We're Not Gonna rely on any horses that we're gonna Mount Source we will not say again we will not call the work of our hands Our God we're not going to make that mistake anymore can the orphan be helped meaning you're the only one who could bail someone out in a in a trying time says David this is going on some of the words we should say meaning we said before say to God Bear all of our sins also say to God we acknowledge Asher will not help us we will not trust in the might of the horse meaning the image that we made in our handiwork we will not accept as a gods that only with your help will the orphan find Mercy with because his strength has waned from helping himself these are this is all what we need to say okay so now it's very interesting does anybody know who of all the Amazon which one was an orphan where the command condition says that he never saw his parents I think when his father died um he would you know and after he was conceived his father died and then when he was born his mother died who was an orphan foreign in fact one of the reasons why he was called uh um abaye is because there are many reasons given but what else do we call um what else do we call about his name is however because rabba raised him and Rabbit's father was nachmanini so he called him my father these words that in you the the orphan will be pitied in other words that's a nickname that you that they gave to yasam that God takes care of the god takes care of the assignment so that's a interesting idea I'll share with you we know that we pass in like abaye in how many cases six cases it so it says like this in six places which is missing above is gamatria 259. right yurukam is 258 plus the word itself is 259. Yao kagam is also in my collo 259 yodai and lamid is um 110 to 10 to 13 253 meaning with the six letters of yal kagame is 259. okay so that's gomacha yuru Khan hey erpa Sam I will remedy they are turning away from me I will love them freely menu because my anger turned away from them says David airport when the Jewish people say this I will forgive them that they walked waywardly Umar Dubai and they rebelled against me I will love them with the generosity of my heart even though they're not fit to love Eva because me like this really they don't deserve my love because all they did was confession video really all it does is removes enmity but it doesn't bring love but here Kisha so the truth is so why did it bring love why is God saying I will love them because the original love will return once the enmity had been removed the original love will return let's just see Rashi so if you do true damn love you or this is only love you if he you know because [Music] it just sort of takes care of the sin but to revert back the original love usually it does not one would have to do additional an additional measure let's see this ration then we'll break we'll we'll hold it the navi says so says the Holy Spirit since they said before this I will return your waywardness well I have aim and I will love them is emphasizing why does Apostle say I will love them implies you know when you say you're giving an adava that means you're giving something you don't have to do so God is saying I don't have to love you but I will I will do I will offer it freely okay this is Hashem I think we will uh continue in this um Friday okay you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
