Is G-D ONE for the JEWS but NOT for GENTILES? with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] toro welcome a warm welcome to the event of bait midrash welcome home to tara we are going to be dealing with something absolutely fascinating tonight not like we every night that we get together we we deal with some very fundamental issues but this is called the krishma right that appears in our parsha in deuteronomy chapter 6 verse 4 okay now i want to tell you a little personal story look i didn't i wasn't brought up very religious at all very secular but every jew knows the shema right it's kind of like you know the abcs of judaism everyone knows the shema and one of the things we're going to learn tonight is when you are in a situation where god forbid it's a near-death experience everyone knows on your deathbed or a plane is crashing or you're experiencing your bottom bottoming out it's a time to say shma and you know what i experienced that in my life when i was hitting what you call rock bottom i don't know how or why that's the only words in hebrew i knew and i would say the shema and i want to give like words of encouragement to anybody who's feeling quite down but the truth is you don't have to be feeling down at all when you know twice a day the time comes to say the shema so we're going to hear some very fundamental ideas about the shema and it's it's so interesting the very first thing that we're going to see is the verse itself right inside it says my israel hashem keno hashem hero israel now i should say when i say the word hashem it means yud and the hay and the vav and the hay that is god's name notice that we have the name yukay vavkay whenever we come across the yuda nahin above and hey that symbolizes that is a um it's an attribute i mean it's it's it's not who god is but it's a name and that name represents rachmanu or mercy a certain let's say love as opposed to elokim which means din din is judgment so there's a harshness there's mercy and then there's the harsh judgment so elokim which we're going to see eloquenu he's our god that is going to represent judgment and then at the end it says hashem yes yudh kevke is our god it's amazing the god of mercy or the representation of mercy is our god of judgment and then we're saying that he's won so we have to we're going to work on this now the very first thing that rasheed mentions and the clear car will go into he mentions the lord our is our god the lord is one the lord who is now right now our god and not the god of the other nations what is this an exclusive club is that what it sounds like or is it that we brought god to the world but they didn't accept it yet what does it sound like to you that it's an exclusive club of course not but rather the non-jews as a mass obviously there's individuals who have come to the realization about the god of israel right they'll only eat ben and jerry's in israel but they won't eat ben and jerry's outside of israel right okay so here we have it but it says like this he's not the god of the other nations he will be declared in the future the one god so we're talking about right now for the gentiles they haven't yet come to this awakening and i'll use that word awakening to be truly awoke they are not yet for then i will convert the nations to a pure language that all of them call in the name of the lord this is in safanya now i want to deal with that verse it's unbelievable i don't think i'm going to get to it yet i want to go in in depth but right now let's just cover the idea and then right away he brings in the prophet zechariah so we just read safanya chapter three verse nine the hebrew ki as epoch i'm going to convert them i'm going to turn them over it's going to be a revolution a real revolution for the peoples that they will speak safa a safa is a language i'll tell you now it's talking about hebrew it's not just hebrew and i mean lush and kodesh i mean that everything that it represents the meaning behind the words i just saw a fascinating video uh about languages and how you actually people think differently who have who speak different languages anyway i i forget her name anyway here we go and then zechariah chapter 14 verse 9 and the lord shall become king over all the earth on that day shall the lord be one and his name one so we're going to read a gomorrah that says i don't get it you mean god's not one now well guess what if we introduce the idea that perhaps the non-jews in mass have not yet recognized that god is one god then yes maybe we could understand this is a messianic prophecy where they will come to this belief this understanding and what does rashi say there shall the lord be one meaning in the future for all the nations shall abandon their vanities and acknowledge him that he is one and that no strange deity is with him and his name is one then his name shall be mentioned by everybody okay now let's begin the clear car we're going to pretty much go right into the gemara in 50a so we read rashi that he is our god right now below okay almost but not the god of the nations but in the future he will be one so the gemara brings brings right away like that was said by rabbi yochanan kidama rivenan xiv doesn't the verse say but won't the name uk valkyrie be one right at some point in time well so the question is are we saying or suggesting that right now god is not one how can that be el alo the gomorrah begins rather it's believe it or not this world that we live in now is nothing like the world to come they're they're very different why kiba now this is a really strange example that it's giving but in this world when we make blessings let's say for example you hear good news we call basaro to vote good tidings good news so you celebrate with a blessing wow god is you know blessed are you hashem king of the universe right who what who is good and bestows kindness and bestows goodness and guess what that's what we say in this world nowadays when we hear good tidings and god forbid when we hear about someone's death or catastrophe right what do we say baroque diana that he's a truthful judge yes we accept his judgment and we'll we'll talk about this in a second but basically the language of the blessing is different so the albasaurus royce we say broke dynamite but what's going to happen in allah now what is allah it's a big good question either it's where the the the soul goes to after death that's according to a minority opinion most agree that what we call the world to come is the resurrection of the dead okay but trying to understand both opinions we always like to do whatever this is everyone is going to say hatova metis how can that be how can that be and i'll ask you a question and we're going to answer it hopefully what about those people that are in gehenum is it um where people also experience refinement is that called a good time is that called hatova metiv doesn't sound like it to me well we'll discuss that as we go on so basically it's like this now this is how the clear car begins his investigation into these questions that we already asked in the gamora itself very nice that it said this about the blessings but what does it mean really lithia olam you know what happens in this world according to the clear car and tell me tell me if i'm right see if this resonates with you from the aspect that we see that we perceive right we have perceptions we see what i would call pu'ulot has as contradictory experiences right obviously there's some things that are good and some things that are bad total opposite total uh experiences alkane yatsuku-satan leminus therefore if we all experience that in this world by the way and we're going to say this world is hidden if you know that meaning god himself is hidden therefore it's not obvious therefore what we have is free will which is actually the greatest gift god ever gave up gave us because that allows us to earn i know people don't like that everyone's involved in entitlements these days i wonder where that was invented if not i won't mention these other religions right but you have to earn it therefore what happens is many people looking at this world become heretics they go out la minus yo say la minus why not and you know what they think there are actually two deities there's two gods right what's the other god there's a good god and a bad god the good god maybe some old man in heaven maybe you can write a list towards the end of the year and maybe he'll come down your chimney who knows and then there's a bad god and he wears red and he has horns and who knows what else right who knows how is it that people could come to this idea that they like um that there's more than one god and that there's a good god i'll tell you how he mentions it he says like this they conclude there has to be two deities because how can there be good and bad in this world right you have a good god he only does good you have a bad guy he only does bad where do you have such a one god who does both it's a very uh awkward thinking and he actually explains this in parshat's breaksheet and he discusses this idea on the fir one of the first verses chapter 1 verse 5 in genesis the era of the evoker it actually says and it was evening and it was morning what means day one it doesn't say first day shouldn't it have said first day because later on you see it says day two i'm sorry it says second day it says third day fourth day so it should be consistent why is day one why does it say as opposed to like shiny shlishi review it should say richon and it doesn't say rishon first day it says day one and that's to teach us that both day and night remember day is light and represents goodness darkness represents you know lack of faith horrible things scary things uh dangerous things right not so positive things right you have night right so day and night they all emanate from echad they all emanate from the same creator of the universe that's in this world in this world it's very confusing right we're all going through this maze of life hitting roadblocks right hitting the lottery and then losing it right we're going through our ups and downs we call it the roller coaster ride of life whatever it is there's a journey that we're all on and we're hitting bumps but what's going to happen in the world to come shikhavar nishikaku kolhatsaroys eliminated from our memory right we are now in a new sphere a new universe a world of unbelievable bliss and guess what forgotten is all those negative experiences the kulin mesha in the omrim and everyone is praising and saying albasaurus tobos regarding all the good things that are happening in that new sphere of life called the world to come hatova metis wow god is good and he bestows kindness he bestows his goodness we will not perceive any contradictions we won't perceive any of these opposites everything will be unified as one alkene so then at that point right that the name of god will be on the lips of everyone and his name will be one now he says the very fact that we use both names i mean if you look in the torah there's actually many names of god because there's many attributes of god and these two significant names one dealing with mercy and one dealing with din and judgment this is what causes people to make this mistake therefore when we declare right hashem eloquenu the yudhkevke hashem is our god that merciful god is our god that includes judgment hainu shame shoddin both our god emanates both characteristics she is now this is a very strong statement that israel alone that we me let's say our religion because we know there are so many righteous gentiles we know there are so many people that either are on their way to convert obviously if they convert they already jews but there's righteous gentiles who have no ability or no intention to convert but they really truly believe in the one god of israel interesting so here he says israel alone relates to that one god allah asid in the future yeshua that's when hashem will be won yuki above kay that's how we end hashem alokainu he's our god and in the future hashem will be one that's when everyone together will unify and know hashem for who he truly is that he is both right he has both of these attributes he's only one now we have to discuss how it is that he has many attributes okay now at the end it says hashem we know that but that whole verse i did point out i'm not sure if i pointed out in the word shema you have a large ion for those who have the english sheets you have a large iron and you have a large dalit so what is all that about what is all that about okay fine what is it there's a hint going on here la masha amruba midrish actually what the measure refers to and israel both the jewish people and israel you know what they're doing they're they're um testifying on each other we're witnesses you heard of the jay witnesses that's us we are the true witnesses because we stood at mount sinai but you know what happens every single day twice a day we are witnessing something listen to this go to isaiah chapter 43 verse 10 what does he say you are my witnesses now why am i saying that because the word for witnesses is i in darwin in the shema you have the iron and you have the dalit and that's why we're bringing this verse because and israel are are doing what we're witnessing for each other here we have proof that we're witnesses for god god says you are my witnesses now i want to refer to a comment here this is in isaiah 43 do i have it yeah it's an unbelievable thing so i want to read to you some comments in the art scroll what is god saying through isaiah your very being your refinement and the way you conduct yourselves will bear witness to your creator and the talmud in yuma 86 8 teaches that one sanctifies the name of god by living in such a way that people will praise the person's parents who raise their children to live a life a moral life according to the torah it actually goes on and says for those who think that isaiah 53 is talking about somebody else and says and my servant whom i've chosen right you're my witnesses this is part of the verse as my voice of prophecy can serve as my witnesses alternatively yaakov who's also called my servant can testify to what i promised him that he was on the way from his parents in um to go to aram narayan came true fine i want to go on with the cleocard so we had this idea that you are my witnesses and has i'll say in the gemara broncos page 7a you know what god did god showed moses his to fill in we know that god is not physical but god spoke to moses and he showed him visions so he had a conversation and there was a vision and within this vision he showed moshe the kesher of the villain what is the kesher that's the knot in the back okay you can't see from here but for those who have english sheets you will see on page i believe it's number three okay the one on the right has is the dalit now keep in mind the not in the back is a dalit the indian kesher zou now we're going to discuss what is this idea that he showed him specifically a knot in the back so believe it or not to fill in some marijuana that whole gamora discusses what's written god's the filling and what's written an hour to fill in so basically there's an idea that if you want to go to our chapter i'm sorry it's um it's in deuteronomy chapter 27. it's in deuteronomy 27 where do we have it 26 thank you verses 17 through 19. now it's very interesting the word amarta means to distinguish or to select okay how did i translate here distinguished or select good okay so here it is you have selected the lord this day to be your god in other words god is praising us for choosing him to walk in his ways you hear this to walk in his ways to follow his character and to observe his statutes meaning to keep his commandments as it says commandments and his ordinances i mean in hebrews a little bit of difference we talk about mitzvot these all are different types of mitzvahs and two are in order to obey him so that's from our side god is praising us for choosing him and it says the next verse the lord has selected you the lord has chosen you to be what am his treasured people his special nation listen you can't mess with the bible it is what it is as he spoke to you and so shall you observe all his commandments and to make you supreme above all the nations that he made i'm just reading the words elio means away over and above supreme listen you believe in the bible nothing has changed this is the original text three thousand four hundred it's a two thousand five hundred already three thousand five hundred years okay let's move forward also what is god saying to the jewish people right you made me one obviously he is one he doesn't need us to make him one but that's what we do we cry out my israel right we walk around the world saying no you're all wrong right avraham is called an ivree the one who tr who crossed over he left the world of shecker lies of illusions and he came to eretz kanan which is a land of emis of truth and you know what he crossed over that's what it means to be an evree to be a real hebrew and we asi tuni hativah now we will discuss the idea why do we say the words i know i didn't say it i said hashem but even though it says yud kevke in the writ in the script in what's written down as kativa we're going to learn why does why did the jewish people yikra kore we say a different word than what's written ever wonder why i'm sure you all have right the jews who are supposed to call upon the name of hashem are calling out a different what's going on here we're going to discuss this so he says also i am not only are you making me one but i'm making you and i'll just say this like a single unit right we are thinking of god as one we're helping the world understand that god is one right monotheism is a jewish idea and i don't think anybody was too successful in promoting this idea before abraham isaac and jacob came on the scene but ever since it has taken hold i think two-thirds of the world pretty much believe that hopefully anyway god also and believe it or not he wants us to be one and he's making us one you should film this is the whole idea of that knot on the back of the filling because just as we are tying the knot so to speak as a stamp or a signature we're placing god's stamp and signature where on our hearts okay and on our arms unifying hashem so too who is arrow remember hashem does not have a body we're talking conceptually speaking he's placing us on his heart and a signature a stamp on his arm to do what la sot right that's what it says in the navi we are not we're a special nation we are unique we are one nation in the world in the land and that's what hashem is doing for us brah this is the kesher kesher means connection but kesha also means not so through the not this is the connection that each one is being witness on the other okay you could say okay very nice the jews are trying to be witness to hashem that's their job right where the true jay witnesses right but guess what look at history right look at history why why do people convert i work with converts they tell me they know this is the truth they it's not just an emotional thing they know it intellectually they see it in history okay so we're both witnessing on each other about the unity that we are one and and he is one kid eric shabbat lee wrote the way you come to see leroys so too that's the way you come to be seen this is a proper idea we're just on a superficial level we're just scratching the surface here here we go now we're going to go down the rabbit hole right what do you want the red pill or the blue pill right here we go down the rabbit hole i'm not caffijs now we're going to go deep into the idea of what is the iron and the dalit which i already told you means a witness but they're large indian kesha to fill in he's going to relate this to that not of the filling we spoke about how kimosha b you know what moses asked you can find this in exodus 33 18. where do we see it on our page here at number seven you know i just want to show you that rashi in the last verse we read concerning deuteronomy 26 17 18 and 19 remember i pointed out the word amarta it's very strange because it sounds like speech think about it what we say there's a lot of things going on in our minds right but what you use your lips to do you decide what's going to come out so there's like a distinguishing a a clarification going on and that makes sense now listen to arashi says about the word amir we don't find any equivalent expression in the scriptures which might give us a clue to the meaning of these words however it appears to me the expression of amir denotes separation and distinction just think about it i had a rebbe he told me you know not everything you think you should say and not everything you say you should write and not everything you write should you publish right and it's very smart i mean you're making a decision as you go along how public do you want people to know what you're thinking right what's going on that crazy mind of yours right okay so it makes sense hamir which means to say or to express is used for separation and distinction and interesting now that we know that verse from all the pagan deities you have set apart the lord for yourself to be your god and he separated you to him from all the peoples of the earth to be his treasured people okay that's that's the the part i wanted to show you now we're going to go back into the clear car and we're looking at this verse what did moses what did moses ask hashem he wanted to know about what kind of reward is waiting for the people in the world to come he really wanted to know why do bad things happen to good people and why do good people pro why do bad people prosper right there's a lot of good people and they suffer and there's a lot of bad people and they seem to prosper what's going on this world's a mess but what's really going to happen in the world to come i want to know so how did he ask he says harini in exodus 33 18 which is at the bottom of page two it says show me your glory when he says show me your glory he's asking i want to know the reward in the world to come now there's a lot to say on this and we'll read the the other verses very soon and it says in the medrish that what does this mean [Music] he wanted to see what kind of reward was awaiting the righteous people in this world and the next world again why do bad things happen to good people why do why do good people sometimes prosper what's going on what's going to be the end game does it all work itself out and there's an idea here because it says in proverbs chapter 3 verse 35 the wise shall inherit honor i mean moses himself was pretty wise he wants to make sure this what's what is this honor that the right when it says in english show me your glory but it says the same word here glory and honor are in hebrew the same word okay so that's what he wanted to know so he answered back to him as we all know in exodus chapter 33 verse 23 he says then i will remove my hand and you will see the back of my head you'll see my back but my face shall not be seen now this is so interesting because the ita at achorai you will see my back now that could mean the word history you will know me through history you won't know the future you'll know me by what you see with your own eyes in history past tense will pennai but the forward the front whatever is going forward you're not going to see but remember his question was i want to know about the reward not just in this world but the world to come so you'll see what you see here but for the future i can't i can't i'm not going to reveal that to you um the okay the future you won't see so tell us in gamora what does it mean my back you will see the back the to fill in the dollar dollar represents the number four for those who don't know it's the fourth letter and it has gamache arba for what is four anybody knows four is the four directions it always means this world it's something physical there's four dimensions okay when we say my back it means you'll i'll show you my not of the villain why now listen to this in the filling shame shell shin dalidh we pronounce it for all practical purposes as shakai but those who know shah die but we change it okay in the meantime that holy name of god is somehow in the villain as you can see from the picture the nod in the back is the dalit the knot on the arm is a huge it's how it's shaped and what is um what is uh emboldened what is protruding on the head you have you see that shin if you look on i have a great question for those i look at mike's filling every single day when i put them away i made a note to really examine them well api cabal it's a very good thing to do there's a four headed shin and there's a three-headed shin which one is on which side okay you put on to fill in every day well some of the women here don't okay but you have four headed shin on one side a three-headed chin on the other and if they're not on the right sides it's not kosher right you have to have exactly the way it is okay the four is on the left very good well together there are seven heads that's important to know seven heads but not for our class we'll talk about another time so you have the shin dalai dude meaning the dollar to the question to film the dialogue is on the knot we already spoke about in the back but where's the unishin we already said the uh is here on the arm in the front you can only see it from the front and the shin is on the front what's yesh right it's not just when the kid gets a nice prize he screams yes which means yes or something wow something right it means reality it actually means something of substance how's that substance real substance and he says kinimsubo yeshu mamashos i'm sorry skip something here we go so we have the idea of the to fill in the cashier that's filmed as the f is the dial in the back whereas in the front you have you have the yud nashin which is buffana the asia's buffana why should yaesh be in front hear this that the shin the shin is on the sha rosh and the uterus on the yad we said that already so yesh is skarlom the word yesh which means substance which means reality that is the reward in the world to come so god says i'm only going to show you this world i'm not going to show you the reward in the world to come i'm only going to show you my back but not my front not forward now it's amazing when it says here how do we know that that yeash means the the reward in the world to come look at proverbs chapter 8 verse 21 it says yesh to bestow to give an inheritance to those who love me yesh to those who love me i'm going to give you the uni the shin i'm going to give you the world to come i'm going to give you the the big prize okay yes real substance reality and that's in the front and that's where he says because you know it's going to find in the world to come that's where the real reality is and when you compare what the reward is for the world to come it's nothing what this world is like nothing compared to that if you would compare this world to the next world it's it's un you cannot compare it this world is like and this is hinted at in the dollar itself why in the dalit as i mentioned the four dimensions the advantage whatever you know steps there are in this world it's due to the number four because you're talking about the four the four directions of the world just to show you in genesis chapter 28 verse 14 we see when avraham has promised the land of israel god says look eastward westward northward and southward right you will see my back the dollar the cashier of the fill in the the number four which is this world and that's what he showed him he says you want to come into the land of israel just look we'll see it so soon in fact we'll just go now chapter 3 verse 27 in deuteronomy god told him go up to the top of the hill lift up your eyes where the hell westward northward southward and eastward okay again the four directions and so when he says look you'll see my back this hints to the to the reward in this world that's what you'll see the rose that's the only thing you will be able to see i know people what are you worrying so much i want to see it no just work on what you need to work on in this world right don't worry so much what do i have what i don't have can change you can change create that reality do it now this is where you should focus right now this right so that that alone you can see this world now this idea of backwards already mentioned that it's secondary the real icar is the world to come all your mitzvahs the truth is there are crumbs there are tastes there are payrolls right you do mitzes the main reward is waiting for you in the world to come but sometimes you you know it depends what you do there's 26 things you can do to get a taste to get a feel to eat the crumbs the payrolls right one of them you've heard this from me before joy when you do it mister now with joy hashem will reward you with the pay wrote right the more money you spend on mitzvahs you'll get back too in this world right there's a list of 26 things i'm not going to go through it now why 26 because that's the gematria of hashem hashem's name and we saw now again what did god say to moses in chapter 3 verse 27 go up to the mountain and look northeast well actually it says like this eastward southward northward and westward lahara's local to show him everything that is past now again he didn't get into the land so what do you mean the past wait till you hear what he used to say like rashi says in parshazzo sabraha go forward to the end of deuteronomy chapter 34 verses 1 and 2. that's on the bottom of page 3. it says moses went up from the plains of moab to mount nebo to the top of the summit facing eureka so he was on the east bank of the jordan river looking over into earth's israel and it said the lord showed him all the land the array you at kola arts but what else does it say it says at the end of that verse right he saw the land of ephraim and menash in all the land of yudha now i'm going to translate this the normal way until the western sea right you're i used to live in the desert in the hilltops and i'm telling you where i lived you could see on a clear day all the way into amman so i can imagine you're in amman or whatever on the on the top of the mount nebo you're on the top of the the cliffs in jordan you could see all the way to the mediterranean okay so what do you have here the mediterranean that's the western sea so in hebrew it says odd aroma we spoke about the word odd many times [Applause] the last what that's a why didn't it say marav or right could use any word about west then until here in hebrew until the last sea when we think of the word acharon and the word yam we actually use the word yom the last days right the end time he showed him all the way until the end of time meaning the future he showed him but only in allah manza he didn't show him beyond because the word odd aron declared when i say you can stand up until this line that means your toes should not cross the line maybe i might not care odd could mean you can put your feet on the line but you can't go past it odd means until but sometimes odd could mean including or not including okay you know you go to the passport at the airport and it says come on until the line and if you cross the line the the lady there might get mad at you and tell you to move back a few inches right you never know what does odd mean well we have a tradition sometimes odd means this and sometimes odd means that sometimes it's inclusive sometimes it's not inclusive over here it's not inclusive so he showed him odd until the end days which means in this world up until the end days after that that would be the resurrection of the dead so right away he says lo ad beclow the odd is not inclusive kim hyun not the word yam as we read it not the western sea but the last days he showed them all of history in the future the holy he showed him right up until the very last minute before the reward for the world to come is available and regarding this listen to what it says in isaiah chapter 64 verse 3 is a very interesting verse and whereof no one had ever heard had ever perceived by ear no i had ever seen a god besides you perform for him who hoped for him think about the words i highlighted no eye had ever seen a god besides you i in laura's this is a extremely important piece i want to read for you i want to tell you what this means the gomorrah discussing 34b discusses this idea that all the beautiful promises of the prophets are not speaking about the ultimate gift of the reward in the world to come because that no eye has ever seen all these lower levels and they're really higher levels than we can even imagine okay they're talking about balaychruva it's a decaying people who marry their daughters off to talmud people who go into business with time and wow right that's what the prophets were talking about but beyond that people were even greater than that that could not describe the world to come is so unbelievable listen to what it says here the sages explain that this verse also refers to the ultimate reward that god will grant to those who truly await his glory all the promises of the prophets speak only about the rewards that await the one who gives his daughter marriage to a torah scholar conducts business on behalf of the torah scholar helps a scholar with his possessions but the reward awaiting the torah scholars themselves or in that case either the bali chuva or the tsudeek and gomorrah no i has ever seen it oh god except for you that which he will do for that one awaits him okay so whatever is written in the prophets about the world to come i'm telling you based on this gomorrah if you can achieve greater than just any things i just mentioned it's going to be even greater for you the reward awaiting you is even greater than what's described by the prophets a true true torah scholar is someone whose every move is dedicated solely to the divine service such behavior transcends ordinary human nature and the reward awaiting such per people is beyond human comprehension even prophets cannot envision it it's only known to god okay let's continue on back into the clio car so we just read that verse in isaiah 64. that's why it says when god told moses ufanai my face what's in front you will not see now what is it a panim shell to fill in tablets yes what's on the front side of the villain is the yun and the shin we already said the yoda in the shin is yeash yesh's real true reality which is awaiting the world to come as god says i will bequeath to those who love me yesh we saw that in proverbs 8 21 right so here we have so what does it mean yash is in the front that hints to the to the reward of the world to come which no eye has seen a share i in low roa that's the sowed this is the secret of the large iron and the large dhalid to tell you that the iron of a man what a man sees lo holy rose the only thing he can see is the dalit you're only going to see this world that's all you're going to see glen glimpses of as we had spoken about of our yeash but what's in front that is going to be hinted into what we say shema israel the very fact that we begin with these words shemaistran i also want to mention there's no way that i can go through all the information i'm going to have to break this into another class because there's unbelievable stuff that we we're going to discuss and i don't know how or when we're going to do it but we're going to find time because it's so important to hear this but in the meantime the very fact that the reishi tables we call the acronym of shema israel is the union the shin is the shin in the year it doesn't matter the order the fact is that it's it's shema israel because this is yesh this is where you're going to find your strength this is where you're going to find your help from heaven this is where you're going to find reality and that's yesh harem this is only this is the hints to the idea of bequeathing those who love god yesh the world to come lo yojo ayaliros the only thing you can do is hear the odin suffering it's only the ear that can hear from what we hear from the sages from the tradition ish one rabbi to the next one father to his child this is the tradition the messiah that we have that there is such a unbelievable world to come and that's what it means over here only the ear shmaistra listen you're not going to see it but you're going to hear about it although i and lowrasa the eye has not seen it well let's do the last paragraph on this page and i want to begin to discuss some of these other ideas alternatively this is another reason why you have a large iron and a large dollar because it says in job in job if i can find i think it's the last quote that we have [Applause] no it's not the last quote it's the last quote on it's a number it's page 4 number 16. behold job is saying i go to the east and he is not here so imagine yourself going to a location we just said in dalit the dollar represents represents the four directions of this world and the true nature of god is hidden what's the true nature of god the true nature of god is that he's one so if you're looking for one he's not finding he says i go to the east he's not here i go to the west i cannot perceive him i perceive him not in the north when he made it i don't see again there's no perception when you're going in the four directions he wraps up the south i cannot see so when you're looking in the physical world you're not going to see god per se you're not going to be able to receive him because the physical world is made up of what physical world is made up of divisions right there's millions of molecules there's millions of individual things that's the physical world the spiritual world is all unified but listen so job is like looking for god in all the wrong places right well cause in my fate the very fact he's looking for him in these physical places shows it's proof about the unity of god shaina niri bishumakum bazulat makom it's as if he cannot appear he cannot perceive him in any specific place there's no place that he is there's no place that he isn't either eem kane ain't no geshem i'm sorry i'm kane and ogism we're talking about god is not physical you're looking in physical places you're not going to find them after the fact the i write the word iron it's large it sees all the four directions you're not able to see from there you can't look with your physical eye life right god himself is not physical that can be divided that you're going to go into a physical world to see him this proves about this shows you that he is purely spiritual now let's go into some of the comments that i found that is absolutely first i want to talk about the stroke and aruh a little bit there are laws about making brachos those brachos require us to say baroque hashem ello kenu you're using the uk bufke but remember i mentioned we don't pronounce that we say nai and then we say hello kenu which is elokim which is din so we're using both of these attributes this you'll find in the shogun arah this is what we call the fifth chapter and it's called kavanagh that one should have intention when they make a blessing for the words you have to know what you're saying and when you mention the name the uk vatkey okay you should intent you should call it you're going to actually say these words add meaning ado nai so the word adon means master so you're supposed to think of adon hakol he is the master of everything when you say the words that's what you're thinking but guess what it's written you'd know so when you with the way it's written you should actually think about the what you're looking at with the yud and the heinous that what that he was is and will be i'm going to say in hebrew was the is the year our god is all existence all existence is the creator of the universe true but it's unbelievable now when you mention eloquem that's when you mention yut kevat k you have both in mind you're going to say adnus which has to do with um adonikol but we're going to see the judgment is in there and then you have the uk above k which you already know is mercy but when you mention elokim alone then you think of strength the strength of hashem about that he is strong and the master of all abilities and strength there's nothing he cannot do now i want to mention that in the mission of brewer he says that one should be very careful not just to throw out the words how many people do you know talking about ourselves that we're really hungry we're sitting down and right away we know we can't eat unless we say the bracha so we just say the brackets just to eat what about what god wants from us doesn't he want you to acknowledge him why why does he ask you to acknowledge him he doesn't need the acknowledgement it's for you it's called a karzatov it's appreciation right remember god's not so obvious in this world but you have to bring it to your frontal lobe you have to think so there's a verse in isaiah 29 13. let's see if we can find it on our sheets and sorry page five what number 23 okay now this is rebuked remember the prophets come to give rebuke and the lord said because this people has come near very interesting how did they come near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me right you're going to make a bracha your lips are going to move the words are going to come out of your mouth but their heart they drew far away from me we have to put heart take your time say the words put the kevana that's why this is expressed here okay make sure you don't just spit out these words from wrote the next idea is that believe it or not why do we say ado nigh and not pronounce yud and the hain of oven hey the way it's written so there's an idea in gamora sinhadran it actually says if you pronounce the word the way it's written you lose your world to come you lose the world to come the exact words now why i want to show you another verse now i have to find it if you go to exodus chapter 3 verse 15 towards the bottom this is my name forever and this is how i should be mentioned in every generation for those who are looking at the english you have no idea what you're even reading wait till you hear this it says like this i have to find it myself it says like this zesh mila olam this is my name and we're going to translate it as forever but it doesn't say forever in hebrew it says concealed this is my name which is concealed because the word olam with a love means forever the word alam without above is hidden okay so there you have it this is my name which is concealed means in your mind remembered not expressed okay that's what it really means zikri ladoor door now look at rashi this is my name forever in hebrew it's spelled without a love meaning conceal it we don't express it so this should not be read as written since the love of is missing we understand it as le olam to conceal meaning that the pronunciation of the way of god's name is written uk is to be concealed okay now there's a lot more i want to speak about and he mentions the mission of brewer back in the mission of brewer you need to read it as if it was written now what is the name alif dalid nunyun it's actually with an aleph in the beginning and a yurt at the end now the aleph is the gematria when you take it apart it's above and two goods it always represents one god but it's 26 which is god's name you'd keep of k so the aleph in a certain sense represents uk then you have at the end you'd you'd is the first letter of uk above k but what do you have in the middle don it's din is really a combination of mercy and judgment and this is unique to the jews remember how we started this off that shema israel he's our god now hashema lokenu we recognize him as uk which is mercy and yet he's our god meaning we recognize him in the in the sense that he judges and there's harshness that comes from him right we'll have to talk about that also doesn't mean he comes from him and then but in the end hashem that in the future the whole world will come to understand what we've been trying to say all along hashem is one and therefore even us when we read the name adonai we have both in mind in the shame of voya when you when you read the name you should have in mind mercy the tama nagi lahu mila raw it's a very interesting statement here and i love i finally found a place i can use my famous expression the syllable goes on the last in other words in hebrew when you read any hebrew word the syllable syllable syllable is always on the last syllable okay i got some laughs ado nai make sure to say that correctly in if you look in most durian into the homici there are also the tamim the trap there's different symbols and those certain symbols you can learn what they are will tell you where to put the syllable where the syllable where the emphasis goes but he tells you right now anyway tom anigena what about this idea that we said that it's um was is and will be wait till you hear what the girl has to say remember this is not helpful krishna yet we're going to see that soon this is justin cavanagh the guru is going to say that yeah of course you should have both in mind but in omaka din the depth of the law doesn't require you to have intent for both you don't have to think of the mercy you don't have to except when it comes to krishna when it comes to krishna you're obligated to have both but here he says just what you're reading not when you're not but not what's written become a comb hokinaka korea we go after what's written what we say what's actually written has unbelievable secrets and fundamental ideas except one place where you have to have both in mind and that's in hilka's krishma when you say that when you say the krishma you absolutely must have both in mind now i'm going over to the laws of krishma and this is in chapter 61. dinkamatari in chapter 61 then comments this this chapter is talking about how deep you need to go how how careful you need to be when you're reading the shema and wait you hear this yikra krishma irritate the zia when you read the krishma you should have intent with such awe and fear and trembling and sweat when was the last time you sweated when you said shma you're probably chilling out lying back put your hand on your face say ishmael no when was last time knew so then he says the second halacha it says those are the words we're going to say which i command you this day he's going to explain that you have to feel as if this was a brand new decree from the king right now right now and you are going to carefully examine what it is you're getting he says you should look at it as it was a brand new piece of information coming from the king don't read it and look at it like i'm so familiar i already know this i'm just going through the motions no it's something so new and so dear to you you want to know everything that it says i want to show you about this year this ultimate fear and awe and sweat you should have it actually says in psalms 44 you guys can help me find this uh 40 maybe i didn't have it 4423 yeah it's number 19. unbelievable think about this guys when you say schma do you imagine yourself being slaughtered do you david said it is for your sake that we are killed all the time for it is for your sake that we are killed all the time that we are considered as sheep for the slaughter unbelievable and that's the quote that the mystery brewer brings us that we should think of okay because we say within the self you love you should love the lord the khonafshakha with your entire soul how do you get this fear this aw this sweat shake when you read it you should have intense malaca to accept upon yourself the yoke the shem the the the burden the responsibility of the kingdom of heaven to actually be what to be killed to be killed for the sake of the king unique you you right and that's what it means with all your soul those are the words of the shema itself you love god with all your soul and he goes on he says even if it means the removal of your soul even by the taking of your soul and that's what it means in the psalms that we just read for it is for your sake we're killed all the time because only then the kavanaugh zoo ukraine will take azir it's only when you have such kavanaugh's then you could actually do it properly with awe and fear and i asked you when was last time you sweated it out and trembled when you said the shema okay i don't remember the last time i did i think i can remember a little bit once not that not not not uh not recently until i read this again as a uh zora right and then it says and beretta zia you know what the tour writes in the name of rav omran wow this is unbelievable because we just said that was what that you shouldn't read it like it's uh i heard this before what's what's so new every single day right as it says which i am commanding you this very day make it new so he uses his word and then the name of the the torah brings the name of ramram the that a person should equate reading the krishna cosmon to correlais i have to read this word it's like it sounds like it's greek it was very hard to find out what this word means because everywhere i looked all the different dictionaries called it a prototype but it really means the set of rules and in parenthesis it says it was as if you got a brand new set of rules you ever see those old western movies they put up the sign the new sheriff in town and he puts up the new rules and everyone gathers around the lamppost and reads them right lights out at 11 no drinking in the street i don't know whatever these rules are if you're going to shoot you know you're going to have a draw all these rules and you want to know what they are well guess what your life might depend on it so too here every single day read it as if it's a perutz gama it's like perut and then the word gamma and that's why they get the word prototype but it doesn't really that's not what it means it means a set of rules the yaksho belibo this is what you should actually think in your heart ilomelbasavadam if it was a single what do you call it a earthly king shalayak and he sent these new sets of rules you've got this new set of rules you're going to read them with unbelievable concern for what is written in it i want to skip down a few other things in in the third halacha it says by krishma there's 245 words 245 words and everyone knows hashem is said by the the boar and that adds up to 248 the 248 represents what are different limbs of our bodies now if you're reading the krishna by yourself we say kel melvan in the beginning again that's going to make 248 words very nice now what happens if you didn't say it in the beginning and you're in a group of people and you're still in the middle of shema say the there's 15 votes at least in the morning and then you have 15 votes that all include these praises about hashem 15 times 6 is 90. what's significant about 90 adds up to the three times of hashem's name because uk above k is 26 plus the four letters uk above k which we add letters to make a gematria so the gemachi basically is 30 30 times it adds up it completes the 3 the 90 completes three names of hashem so have in mind those loving basically what i want to do at this point is i want to continue this next week i know next week is another parsha but there's so much richness to what we're going to get out of it i want to sum up what we discussed so far that as rashi mentioned that only in the future in the future then hashem will be one right how is that possible is it hashem one now yeah he's ours but our job is to teach the nations to teach the world first we've got to get our act together but our job is to teach the nations that there's one god how just by living it okay that's the number one way to teach is to be an example number one in the future right we talked about um how moshe looked towards the reward look we're not serving hashem like servants in order to receive a reward we have to know there's a reward but the main goal is to do everything we can to fix this world we live in olam hazel that means the dalit the back of the knot of the of gods to villain of art to fill in but the yesh the part that we don't see that's the future hashem bequeaths to those who love him yash have and know that there is such a thing as a reward and punishment and that's the yes the good and the shin on the to fill in and that's in the future but in the meantime okay in the meantime we serve hashem with all of our hearts this is and our soul and our modera and all of our resources so basically i want to make a stop here to understand that we're going to continue going deep into it and i will leave you with one question and this is how i'm going to begin next class the maharal asked a question and the girl asked the question why did we say shema israel why don't we just say the myth is i need to unify god let me just say hashem what do i need the shema israel for who am i talking to am i talking to all the jews remember it's means the yoke of what the kingdom of heaven can a king be a king over one person no that would be an adon i can make anybody my master but how am i going to make him a king he needs a people and therefore on a very deep level right after tishbo where we all know the kamoka i have to love my neighbor as myself right if i have hate in my heart and i feel disconnected from my fellows guess what's going to happen disaster but if i say shemais or el and i include everybody perhaps this is going to answer why it is that that's necessary to say shema israel before i include and take on the old makushimayam how important is this idea especially this is the parsha right after tish above right israel hashem kenu hashem we're all in this together okay so i want to just think about why my israel is included and i already gave you some hints and misrant hashem will continue this next week and they wish everyone not just a great shabbos a great life and we'll see you next week [Music] is
