okay good evening everyone welcome to
the urban debate me Josh we are in the
Oetken on that's partial to the Epson on
in Deuteronomy chapter 3 verse 23 now
this is chock-full of so much valuable
information that I would claim is
life-changing I'm serious
life-changing how to pray how should one
pray so when we begin just with the
first verse because that's all we're
gonna cover and not even if right just a
few a few words the Atkin on Elish am
base huh he lay more what does it mean
that canon so the root is Grace or show
favor like God says I will show favor to
our show favor to Cain guess what else
it also means to pray to implore to bet
back-end to make requests okay it's a
type of prayer there's many languages as
many words that can be used for prayer
this is going to be one of them but the
route is based on graciousness cane
which how would you translate pain
today's grace so graciousness right okay
so look at look at the many different
translators I implored but you don't see
the word pray because pray is with it's
Pelayo so why is that normal word for
prayer not use so one of the most
important lessons we're going to learn
in the beginning is that Moses actually
teaching us that when one should pray
God is teaching us that when one should
pray they should pray from manasa
team Nam even the word free a free gift
a free gift meaning undeserved reward
you want you want something I don't
deserve it and I'm asking for it anyway
can you imagine
and we're gonna see thinking that you
deserve something and therefore you're
asking a sham
you owe me you owe me so I'm asking for
this right it's it's it's Magilla
thoughts coming to you I think maybe
they use a term called entitlements
right I heard that word used a lot
recently in the news so maybe you think
you're entitled to something ok so we're
gonna learn that when one should pray it
should be a for as a free gift now even
the word pain it doesn't really sound
like phenom but now if you think about
it even the word phenom is had none mmm
mmm Sophie's right so you really
actually have it even in the word so
let's look at the first Rashi because
that's what the clear card is going to
open with okay let's see what Rashi has
to say when Moses remember Moses is
praying that he should come into the
land of Israel God already decreed that
Moses will die in the desert he will
well let's not even go that far he's not
gonna enter into the land
okay so Rashi says aim ki-moon vakama
come Ella when you ever you see the word
he noon it always means a lotion of matt
not keen on a free gift nothing but a
free gift a gift for free and Rashi
continues now this is where the clear
card is going to make a major point
alpha PC a tional Hamlet tsadikim little
O's the Messiah metal Dean he claims
that even though a righteous people
righteous person could could what could
make a request to Hashem dependent on
their good deeds
a methoxy mathema comme le - kinam they
wouldn't even though they could they
wouldn't they shouldn't they don't they
won't seek from anything but a free gift
a gift without payment and how do we
know this is the most amazing point he
brings a proof a text proof how do we
know this is how it's a big should pray
because God taught us how we should pray
God actually said with his own words I
will show grace right graciousness favor
to whom I will show graciousness - or
favor - therefore if you want something
from a sham ask him in the way he said
he'll do it he'll do it in a gracious
manner okay so there you see this
because of that verse because of that
statement and I'll tell you where it is
you can find that next to this 33-19
this is why Moses spoke in this language
this is according to Rashi the biggest
problem the clear card is going to have
with the opening of this Rashi is how we
all interpreted Rashi I mean maybe it
was just me but when you looked at that
Russian you probably thought he meant
past past merits right I lived my whole
life righteously and I did a lot of
mitzvahs therefore God owes me or at
least therefore I have what to request I
have leverage and to negotiate with God
because I'm a good guy
I did I did acts I did deeds right
this is not what God wants me to do I
did what he did I did what he asked of
me so then I could request something
from him raaah she's gonna say that's
not the way to go it doesn't work like
that I'm sorry the clear car is going to
say it has to be no way is it based on
past so if it's not based on past merits
one of my bargaining what am I
negotiating I should with Hashem with
what's left
future
remember Moses wants to enter the land
why does he want to come into the land
to do what to eat the apples to eat to
go to the beaches Tel Aviv to eat the
the Remo neem on Rehoboth tally to eat
the pomegranates on my street to go down
to yafo next to the beach and pick up
these beautiful delicious oranges to
grow in yatha or in gan Yavne is that
why he wants to treat him stand over the
Galilee and look at the lush canary and
all the green is that why he wants to
come to the land okay let's go into the
clear currency after he quotes Rashi
parish Rashi our appreciation Lata
became lit las pumas a motive in even
though there is space or there is the
ability they can the Deacon can make the
request dependent on their good actions
again it sounds like past actions become
become a nun move action key - Keena
they won't do it the way that's a deacon
and we all want to be righteous is ask
ahem for a free gift the question is why
why shouldn't we rely on our past
actions so the clear car begins the
Kusha how's that you know what this is a
little bit difficult and the question is
like this Matisse Akkad I thought where
would it ever come upon your mind
she blew mazamette Oguchi kawarazu will
it ever come upon your mind that you
could make your request to a Shem
depending on what they call that resting
on your laurels on on past actions where
would it ever come to your mind to think
such a thing
a lowly alarm a lot of them soon kovala
cottage bar who you think God owes us
anything God owes us nothing he call it
mrs. Sharda mo so because all the good
kind acts everything that he commanded
us to do and we fulfill all those
Commandments a mem day hey she's it cows
demoulas collie Charlene there's no debt
that Hashem owes us but rather the other
way around
Kotaku he'll love the mesh hvar saw lo
hashem all the goodness that God has
already granted us he already did for us
as diverse in psalms 117 verse 2 ki
guevara love has though the whole verse
says for his kindness has overwhelmed us
and he stand the truth of the Lord is
eternal hallelujah that's the verse so
if you think and meditate on the
kindness of a sham from the moment you
came out of your mother's womb as this
helpless absolutely in full need of
everything oxygen okay
great that was free but somebody fed you
somebody changed your diapers someone
kept you warm
somebody loved you and held you right
this is the grace this is the such
kindness of Hashem so there's no way
that God owes you anything you owe God
more than you can ever imagine
now we're gonna he's gonna give us a
glimpse into Hezekiah we know the story
of Hezekiah he never got married and he
fell ill right there was a little bit of
a dispute who should go to who the
Prophet is there to rebuke but you know
when the Prophet goes to the king if the
king is evil which is that I was not it
was usually the end of the Prophet right
many prophets have been killed by evil
kings however so that's one thing I just
want to mention that our detractors
people who hate Judaism they want to say
the Jews killed their prophets right the
Jews didn't kill their prophets the evil
kings when they were rebuked killed the
one rebuking them which makes a lot of
sense
so anyway Isaiah is wondering you know
maybe the guy should come to me and the
king is thinking maybe the Prophet
should come to me
Hashem took care of everything he made
the King sick the king could no longer
go to the Prophet the Prophet had to
come to the king and Isaiah comes and
basically says you're gonna die prepare
your will
prepare your household pay off your
debts right
why because you never got married well
you know that Hezekiah had Ruach
Hakodesh it was a prophet and he saw he
foresaw that he was going to have a
child who was going to be evil what was
his name
Menasha right minashi and it's true he
ended up having but you know what in the
end there's a big mark locusts wither
when asha did chuva you know that the
rabbi's actually hold that he did it
that he did the Trueba so you there's a
mock locusts because on one hand he was
restored as the king at the end of his
life of ryusho lion the question is what
about the world to come
so that's where forgiveness from a Shem
comes just because you restored to King
the kingship didn't mean that you got
the world to come as well
well those some held that he did okay so
moving on the Prophet comes to him and
he basically tells him you're gonna die
okay so we're on the second side of this
first page to those walked in late and
Hezekiah in second Kings chapter 20
verse 3 is now God is basically telling
him he's good he's gonna die and you
shall I am is is gonna be overtaken
there's a chance to lose both so what
does Hezekiah say Ischia he says
remember now how I walked before youth
faithfully and wholeheartedly I did what
is good in your eye it's when he's
praying for his life and for you shall I
am what is he saying I'm a good guy I
didn't do anything super wrong right
zahana remember now at iShare he talati
in the way that I behaved in the way
that I walked in the way that I
proceeded the fun death of Emmett I
walked how hard did the entry rain with
truth now that so his prayer and many
many times we need to make the same
mistake but he was held guilty for the
and the rabbi's point out if you notice
just reverses later it's in second Kings
chapter 20 verse 6 what is god's
response god's response to the prophet
is the gun no you see alpha ear has
odubajo Davi Davi D which means God is
saying you know what I'm gonna save you
I'm gonna save the city and I will
protect the city for my sake and for the
sake of my servant David so so what
happened he prayed that I deserve it
somehow I do it from my safe because I
did the right thing and God says he
doesn't say I'm doing it for you that
was just his prayer right just three
verses before and God's responses I'm
doing it from my sake God's sake and I'm
doing it for David my servant so how do
you think
Hezekiah feels about this I mean I see
the more rebuke isn't it we'll see later
because we're going to actually go into
a Gomorrah that's going to discuss this
and I mentioned the very beginning this
is going to blow you away okay
I'm serious so what did we just see him
in the shin myeon carullo the God
himself showed him she ain't no shoes
clothes you have no merits Kiev are
affluent Ischia Hezekiah consumed those
merits we Anna Skye and boom I'm our and
the truth is this was a fulfillment of
the verse if you go to Genesis 33 verse
11 so the Yaakov avi knew Jacob our
forefather when he was confronted with a
sod and there was fear is God going to
protect me or not so he was being honest
and humble modest and he said cattle
team Qatar Catan team we call her sudden
I am diminished
I had such small amount of merits
compared to all the goodness that you
God has given me what what can I ask for
it to deserve
obviously at - cleaner obviously a free
gift yeah this is before I believe
because we're talking about the city is
threatened the city is being threatened
that's why he's praying not just for
himself but also for the city and God
actually says I'm going to save the city
so it's just before a great question
for those who in the audience who didn't
hear he asked if Larry asked if this is
taking place before Santa Clara comes
and attached makes the attempt on your
Shriver after it's an amazing story I
tell you you should read to knock and
find out how I think a hundred and
eighty five thousand soldiers died
overnight in a plague it's amazing and
not one soldier went out to war not one
Jewish soldier had to die
in fact Hezekiah said if any one of you
soldiers leave the Beit Midrash if you
leave the study hall he put guards by
the study hall he said if anybody leaves
here to fight in the war I'm gonna keep
you're gonna die you're gonna die okay
so take this to heart okay let's move on
Quijote bombers accattone Yaakov what
was your doom basically Gaza was
admitting and he was he was admitting
what how small he is and thou and poor
the mitzvot in all those Commandments
and all the merits of doing what God
asked him to do meat side Paula Cassidy
Marky bell in relationship to all the
goodness and kindness the Shem has
already bestowed upon him which had
already received the eighth arm room so
then going back to that original Rashi
according to the clear-cut how could
Rashi ever brought this as a as a
plausible theory as a plausible
statement of appreciation of Sadiq in
Linda's Manitoban that righteous people
could have although they didn't in the
end but they could have depended on
their good actions
and now member aschi brought us a proof
and Hirai amazing Miller pursue he
brought from exodus 33:19 raha no t8 I
share a hone I will be gracious round
show favor to those who I will be
gracious to show favor to remember the
word why did Rashi bring this because
the Quran is based on that word so it's
a proof that it means a free gift
however now the clear card says aina
really Khan he's not satisfied he
doesn't think this is a good proof now
he has a intellectual question a very
good question
the questions like this why would Moses
be any worse than what God just said now
what did God say I will show favor to
those who I shall favor to that verse is
talking about whom about someone who
doesn't have enough merits who doesn't
have enough negatives there like at zero
like ground zero right they don't have
enough to boost him in this direction or
to boost them in that direction
therefore that's where God is going to
show grace so Moses who has accumulated
a tremendous amount of merits right he's
done mitzvahs last 40 years and beyond
how is he why is he worse why is he
worse than the guy who was at zero tear
it out listen to what he says because
this pus ik PIPA sook said this sentence
and Allah made the me men who came Joff
me shameless coot okay we're talking
about this seed that's verse of God
showing grace and kindness is about
someone who doesn't have any merits
Kadesh Marku also email outside Hanina
that that's when God is going to show
grace but Moses out of a Shalom peace be
upon this greatest prophet Shannon
Nashville hetero she logic onyx Lawrence
he was punished because of the sin that
he did that he's not going to enter the
land that is it's it's big but on the
scale of things that's all he did my
analyst exam why do you bring this verse
if I will show grace to those who I will
show grace you vide by guru
we Shane low low school to the local uh
you're putting motion a very very bad
position he's worse than the person who
is nothing at least he had something but
it doesn't even out okay
see it means that as a question but I
think it's more of a rhetorical question
for you to think about because he now
opens up his answer he's going to
resolve all these issues right the shoe
the look holds that in order to answer
all this and I promise you we're gonna
look at a Gomorrah in SOTA in-depth
we're gonna see it in so 2-14 a hold
your horses tighten your seatbelts we're
gonna go what do you call that in a
kayak your safety this hold on
we're going down to Niagara Falls man we
are going to be blast office you're just
approaching the cliff before we go off
so just hang in there so the answer to
all this shamash ah I'm Russia a slit
tsadikim with slow slow Massey moto beam
remember Rashi said that righteous
people could have rested on their
laurels so to speak they could have used
the merits and their inner bargaining
and the request with a sham an approach
Rosa Matsumoto Kivar sue do not
explain it as past actions that's not
reasonable that's not what Rashi means
Reid Rashi again and then plug it in
Rashi is talking about future actions
because we already know there's no way
that any righteous person we just saw
Hezekiah it doesn't make sense
it must be future actions and even
though they could bargain for future
actions they still won't do that
watch this Alabama C motorhome chassis
Tomaso's but rather read Rashi as the
actions the good actions the
commandments that one will fulfill in
the future kima stomach called sadiq
enema vodka shroom hana goof on eat it's
very important I know this separates the
Jew from most other religions when we do
God's will when we do mitzvahs where is
the reward not in this world we're only
talking about the world
we're not looking for physical benefits
from doing mitzvahs there ain't none I
mean I shouldn't say that God has
granted us many but that's not the
purpose okay you do a mitzvah number one
to have relationship with Hashem the
relationship itself is going to
skyrocket you into a relationship for
all eternity that's what it's about so
most likely he says the way it works is
that any righteous person he's not
requesting or searching for any physical
pleasure team today are you da that the
reason he's doing the mitzvahs through
the mrs. yellow mahkum the Calle made a
mitzvah right the reason he's he's only
doing it right so there will be a place
he just wants to fulfill God's will
that's it he wants to do the Mitzvah now
we're going to talk about Mitzvah
Guerrera Mitzvah what's the reward for
mitzvot another Mitzvah
unbelievable finish high on that I hope
we have time to reach that does that
double should dodge Ruby sin why now
this is the Gemara and I don't know if
we should continue to the end and then
go into the Gemara or spent I think
we'll spend time on the Gemara now okay
so that devar chadar is ready simle this
is exactly how rabbis Enlai expounded
these these ideas first of all he asked
a rhetorical question he let a homely
period sorry Moshe why didn't know tsa's
want to come into the land so much you
think he wanted to come to eat the
fruits is that why
what do you think I am no way
ella ella mr harmon mitzvahs - Louie
Barrett's so basically that's the
shortened version let's go into the
longer version in on the source sheets
you'll find that I think on page three
let's go for the very beginning of the
Gemara so door abuse in line became
honest I've the motion remained Alikhani
its Larry to travel why exactly did most
Moshe want to come into the Land of
Israel the Holy Land the seal at home a
period sorry
oh this bore me to vomit sorry what do
you think - empty e2t to produce or did
he need to have some physical
satisfaction from the the goodness that
the the fat of the land the great grains
that grow here right what do you think
Ella
cajamar Moshe this is really what was
when Moses is mine
he knew hardly mrs. Mustafa Israel so
many mitzvahs right out of 613 minces
there's something like over two hundred
around two hundred that are totally
pirates they're dependent on the Land of
Israel you cannot do them you cannot
fulfill them unless you're in the Land
of Israel did you know that and the 613
is close to two hundred plus - that you
cannot do outside the land so why do you
want to come into the land he wanted to
come into the land - to do them name is
Chi Minh le Bertus rap you can't fulfill
them outside the land and can they son
Elias kadai shoes Kailua cool on alia D
now this is crazy
whereas we translated you'll see Moses
says I want to come into the land in
order that they can all be fulfilled
through me that's really what that's
really how to translate it
although the translation I hear I have
right in front of me it says so they can
all be fulfilled by me what does it mean
today shoes kind of cool and IUD right
basically through me so what is that
what does that
in that that language is very awkward to
start with why couldn't it have just
said so I can fulfill all the mitzvahs
it's very it's roundabout and needs to
chew it to digest it and hopefully you
guys will hang in there long enough to
really feel in Isaiah chapter 53 verse
12 okay so then the gomorrah goes on i'm
Lakotas bar who god says Tim this is a
very awkward question clue my tongue
with a cage a little a cowbell scar see
God knows you're only going to come into
land not for any physical benefits but
to receive the reward in heaven now that
alone is problematic because in prayer
Kia vote it tailed right it says do not
be like a servant who serves the master
in order to to receive a reward but
rather act like a servant who serves his
master not in order to receive the
reward so even though God says you're
not weak I know your requests I know
you're not interested in the apples of
the Golan or the grapes of the goal line
or the oranges in Jaffa or the
pomegranates under hope enough Italian
you shall I am vodka No so guess what
God says to Moses malayani
aloha i god i'm placing upon you too
evil a seat them as if you did all those
mitzvahs wow what a bargain
god's promising don't worry you don't
even have to go in I'm giving you a free
gift as if you did all of them now this
is where it gets a little hairy because
the proof texts he gives is a verse
we're almost all familiar with and
that's isaiah 53:12
the rest of this after we read the verse
what the Gomorrah does is dissect the
verse a few vert a few words at a time
and he's going to show you this is God's
respond this is Moses that he told he
taught us the Torah so every time that
you fulfill the mitzvot you did you read
this already unbelievable it you were
gonna see some very interesting comments
that match all I would say almost
word-for-word so let's see let's see the
verse and you'll see him and what you
said is going to be in the verse I'm
gonna read it in English therefore will
I divide him a portion among the great
so the Hebrew is Lehane a holic low bara
beam and he shall divide the spoil with
the mighty that assuming Mahalakshmi
I'll because he bared his soul unto
death taka saw Cheryl amaavas knife show
and was numbered with the transgressors
let ho Chi Minh in there yet he bore the
sin of many who had to Robbie no saw and
made intercession for the transgressors
the laplacian yah dia okay so that's the
that's how I broke it up on purpose into
these areas because that is how the
clear card is going to explain
everything I've tried the creeks are the
Gomorrah okay so we turn the page so it
starts like this let's start the camera
goes like this right bison like proceeds
to expound the verse the first part
Lehane a high Lake low Berube therefore
I will divide him a portion among the
great what does that mean we're talking
about a portion with home at a reward
that Moses going to get his reward among
who the great who are the great people
you would think the latter generations
are the great people know even as great
as the earlier generations Moses is
going to be on par just like Abraham
Isaac and Jacob
don't think he's some schnook later you
know he's six generations later
right after Abraham anyway third maybe
three or four generations you say after
New Yawk oh but nevertheless God is
saying yo coke groaning lokiry Shoni no
you might have thought that only like
the latter were great people the Moses
is like no he's actually like like the
earlier ones that's why the verse
continues to say
and he shall divide the spoil with the
mighty that assuming the italics la who
were those that's the earlier ones the
mighty ones Abraham Isaac and Jacob
they were mighty in Torah and mitzvot
and then it says what about the word
Takahashi era
lemagas knife show right because he
bared his soul unto death what does that
mean meaning he gave himself over to
death on behalf of the Jewish people
that is what Moses did now how do we
know that go to Exodus chapter 32 verse
32 right
we know that Moses pleaded for the
Jewish people to survival to the point
that he said tache em if you don't if
you wipe them out like me out I don't
want to continue right God said I'm
gonna start a whole new nation just from
you Moses didn't like that idea so he he
says yet now if you will forgive their
sin and if not blot me in other words in
the Hebrew we'll see it take me out they
erase me I pray you out of your book
that you have written so okay that's
Exodus 30 to 32 but it goes on we see
the words the eighth pashya Mina and was
numbered with the transgressors who
Moses you know where he died he died in
desert with all the transgressors he was
not a transgressor right
he didn't sin with either one not with
the golden calf he was on the mountain
and he certainly he sent two spies but
he certainly didn't believe he prayed
for the for the two free for the for the
report to come back in a positive way of
course he's not guilty of he wanted to
go in the land he was not part of any
possible party saying we're not going
into the land okay so not with the spies
and not with the golden calf yet he was
numbered with the transgressors meaning
he was he was counted among those who
died in a desert he ended up dying in
the desert he didn't come into the Land
of Israel yet he bored the sin of the
any right blue head Robin Nassau he
carried the sin of the many as he
requested mercy for the Senators sinners
of Israel they should engage in
repentance okay I'm sorry I skipped
something after any atoned for the
incidents of the golden calf so let's
just talk about that a little bit it's
called the the the para a Duma is called
Moses calf okay let's go back like a
quite a few weeks that Moses not only
you know threw down the the tablets and
broke them and but and he saved the
Jewish people from worst tragedy because
those were the the wedding rings so to
speak where we would have been held even
more accountable as having been married
the whole idea of the revelation and the
chuppah the mountain overheads was like
a hoof it was a marriage ceremony that
point of the marriage ceremony if we
would have received the Rings which
tablets rat represented then we would
have been held in the worst I'd not just
idolatry but adultery with Hashem
following after other gods but Moses not
only saved us then he he ground up the
golden calf right he was part of the
process of getting rid of it so anyway
he atoned for the incident of the golden
calf and he made intercession now this
word intercession is not what you think
it's prayer remember I mentioned the
beginning is at least ten words for
prayer when Yaakov reached the place
when he reached the Mount the Macomb to
sleep there it was pagana he paga he
taught he reached it the word means to
reach to touch to have a connection of
communion and in some translations it
says and he prayed for the transgressors
some translated like that but if you
look up intercession I don't know what
intercession means but it's kind of
vague perhaps it could mean
I love ok but here he requested mercy he
prayed to Hashem and now we're going to
bring a proof text that the word fea
means to pray by looking into Jeremiah
716 therefore pray that's not the word
we're looking for yet it actually says
with poleo pray not therefore pray not
you for this people this is jeremiah 716
neither lift up cry nor pray for them
again the word prayer neither make as
this translator likes the word
intercession for me but not every was
most people translators prayer because
this is all about prayer the whole verse
is about types of Prayer for I will not
hear you what's the last few words so
it's talking about crying in prayer and
neither make intercession again tip god
to me the whole verse in jeremiah 716 is
nothing other than prayer okay it's very
clear from the verse that it's talking
about prayer okay so let's go back into
the clear car and then what I'd like to
do is go into the commentaries on that
Gemara we haven't yet even scratched the
surface there okay okay so some of this
may sound a little repetitive because
all we all the clear card that brought
down was the first words of this
Gomorrah you know he didn't discuss it
as in-depth as we just began to so we're
going to go back to the clear car pick
up where he left off and I said
hopefully we'll get to some of the
commentaries in Cain if that's true that
what that Moses did not come in for
physical pleasure
hello litmus Vikash october ultimatum
togusa
acetyl a so Tom the so I you did the
Kazu if that's the case then what he
would do what he could do is make his
request dependent on all the future mrs.
that he would like to do if he gets into
the Land of Israel
the Z dove our Amity that's true now
that's a rereading of Rashi Rashi didn't
change his words we're just looking at
it with open eyes when Rashi said in the
beginning when the meaning of this class
that a righteous person could make his
request dependent on actions the word
past action doesn't appear so we have to
read it as only future actions
sheesh Rosa did noise and she mallesh
and Michelle was lebow wouldn't it be
logical to think that the the result
would be that God would refer fulfill
the request of Moses his heart bianchi a
no cuff faith's te ma chere ha finish em
bow don't you think that Moses his will
was totally aligned with God's will
right he was the perfect servant he only
wants what his master wants which is to
do mitzvahs right we only want to do
what God once which is what he told us
to do for peace a toad NIC
nacelles nevertheless because of his sin
he was slapped with a penalty right he
was penalized the komak home ain't my
Enoshima unleashing a hightail oh my god
does not work in the following way like
a loving father okay God is a loving
father so when he punishes us remember
its measured for measure its me to
connect it Mina he's sending us through
prophetic circumstances look that's what
the punishment is
it's directly from a Shem a way that we
can figure out exactly what we did wrong
and make the corrections if it wasn't
measure four when measure if there
wasn't a clear message then we would
never groove clearly understood what we
did wrong and therefore may never fix it
so what would be if God not only doesn't
send the message but just punishes you
in a way where you go off and worship
idols meaning like this we know that and
this is going to be hard for you guys
outside the land to hear
but I have to say it's the truth living
outside the Land of Israel it's like
living without a relationship with God
go so far the gomorrah says it's as if
you have no God meaning no relationship
and therefore you know you are an idol
worshipper just by living outside the
land you're like I'm using like with the
parentheses it's like so remember Moses
wants to come in
God slaps him with a penalty and the
penalties to remain outside the land so
he says like this imagine we don't
punish the sinner by saying Lake a vote
of order she hears ARRA explicar go
serve foreign gods I'm not gonna say
that God wouldn't say that Lajos Eve had
tossed so pesha to add sin upon sin
that's not gonna happen right why would
a loving father as a father I would
never do that
I mean Hashem would never do that LS she
may Rove unnavigable ready for this this
is the reason by Moses requested a
modest enum he did not request to come
into the land to do Commandments and
mitzvahs to him close to a chef right
member now Rashi said what it's otic
wouldn't do he wouldn't base his request
upon mitzvahs even future mitzvahs why
because Moses is what's the word for
humble enough another what does it mean
to be humble I'll tell you what I think
it means not just to be modest but to be
honest being real right realistic and
he's so realistic
he knew that he might go into the land
and fall in love with the Jaffa oranges
or the beach in Netanya or Tel Aviv I
don't know which one's better
I actually have been - there's a
separate feature Netanya it's not bad
clean anyway so you have here this this
humility that what that he did not want
to make dependent his request on any
future actions and mitzvahs by coming
into the land because perhaps cool Anja
Connersville oh yeah submissive maybe
you'll come in I'll enter the land and
maybe not actually do the mitzvot who
says the myths is gonna come to your
hand and even if it does who says you're
gonna do it right maybe you get
distracted with the beautiful fruit here
in our sister I am rockin Magoo phonetic
a bell
so rather he'll only maybe he'll only
benefit physically from the great bounty
that's here in the land that hatov law a
cowbell and then the real good which is
for the mitzvahs in the world to come
maybe he won't receive la vaque shlush
Antonina therefore when moses made his
request that Kanaan he did it in a
language of canina pleading for a free
gift
Martin Osteen Obama nothing dependent on
future possibilities and that's why to
read the rest of the verse we're only
talking about a few words the ACE hockey
lame where it was at that time saying
when you say it's at this time you're
you're negating any past and you're
negating the future and it's only what's
actually in reality right now it's
called being this is where I'm at today
I'm asking you for a free gift I don't
know about the past I certainly don't
know about the future I'm asking you
right now this isn't just me and you got
this is it this is so sweet
kiasu Shayla toh Basha who shall I'll
dance away that he's teaching us how to
pray when you pray don't worry about the
past of course we made mistakes and
maybe we made tremendous gains don't use
your gangs ever because you don't God
does not owe you a thing and about the
future you never know what's gonna
happen where are you
you're in a perfect place wherever it is
this is your broken heart this is what
you need now Jen dying ain't shooting
screws be other you don't yet have any
merits you know in the futures me bleach
Keith lol see love Oh without glancing
without anticipating what's gonna happen
in the future because the so for love
only they Q Mitzvah you don't know in
the end if you're gonna come to do the
Mitzvah Shelly Java or lo yevo maybe
you'll enter maybe he would enter land
maybe wouldn't enter land may be the
myths would come to his hand maybe
wouldn't come to zan maybe he would get
distracted how can you ever if you're
enough you're humble and again I think
it means realistic and modest then you
would not do this bargain about past and
certainly not about future Lacock
honorable lush and that's exactly why
the clear card ends by telling us the
language Moses used the ex-con on yeah
sorry lavaca shamanic phenom aha ASA he
he he needed to request was required to
request a free gift on the ASA he on the
moment the moment which is now and
that's it and that's how the clear
currents but I found very interesting
commentary commentator comments in the
mr. Kumar which I just love and I have
to tell you that I only found that this
afternoon and I didn't have time to go
over all of it but absolutely
fascinating to begin to try and will
also wow the men yoga you know what
let's do the Ben yo doc instead I did I
did have time to go over that a little
bit
so let's go like this when those this is
going to be part one okay so we'll go
through the ben yehuda and then later
when I go through all their the
commentaries I'll share that at another
time okay so the the ben yehuda
that's the Bennish hi he's bringing down
kadesha sky Moo Holly ID remember those
words in the Gamora that said in order
that they the mitzvahs shall be
fulfilled by me or through me the truth
is that really means through me so this
is where you can like smack on Pyro's
Masha anaemic I aim oughta be de Bourgh
Obama Chava bill vive the sky mu ru de
Massa Moses is saying whatever I Moses
am able to fulfill now in the desert
through speech and through thought alone
they the Jewish people will fulfill in
actuality in my said when they go in so
they will fulfill the mitzvot it's going
to lead into what Larry said about the
idea that since he taught them and
they're doing it he's going to get a lot
of credit for every action they do okay
so that was the first statement the
benya da says oh you're voting besotted
eschmeyer or the puttan you can
understand it with God's help in the
following way hock Ivana the intent the
Alpha patient's Chi me my yacht holy
Israel his intent was even though the
actual mitzvahs are going to be
fulfilled through all of Israel when
they go into the land he may goggle had
or when you have
righteous people who are not just
ordinary people they're the leaders of
the generation and I want to say perhaps
even leaders of your Shiva's or of
groups of kasi being right you have
groups and they all have their leaders
so he Nagato lador would be fraught
commotion Ruben Oliver shallow these
great leaders similar specifically like
Moshe she ational mugga now this is an
important word maha is make America
great again but here it's it needs
something else to reach there is to
reach a place this sadiq this righteous
person he's able to reach a Leon Lala's
in a place that is super Li and
transcendentally in a high place to
reach there the killer amidst the Shalom
he's able to reach that point it's Mook
Raksha you call mrs. histrionic loudly
with it all even mitzvah Sheila there's
no doubt that all of the misses that the
regular masses do are included and are
dependent on his ability to reach higher
he's reaching really high he's getting
up there kadesha gamma Alam Ya Allah
mo the muhkam le on the in order that
also the rest of us in the world will
also be raised up higher to a much
higher place with eh hey lick the
coulomb and there is he the gut allah
door the the governor is again the the
Great's of all agenda of each generation
so they have a portion in each one of us
because the unmarked adacia sky Malaya
day that's what it means what Moses says
right that not that the the mitzvahs are
going to be fulfilled by me they're
gonna be fulfilled through me I'm
raising them up and they're all coming
with me the leaders bring everyone up
that's the job it's you're a rabbi if
you're a great person and you're not
raising the people up you're not doing
you stink too
but yourself it really you got to raise
the people who the armorer left home me
pure you oldest bomb the truth I'm gonna
skip that then he says remember that
that stamen says God says you're only
going in to receive reward therefore I'm
going to grant you the reward so the
words were Klum atomic Akash ll a
cowbell Skaar not for anything else but
to receive reward you're coming into the
land so the marsh oo s and it's like a
perky a vote wait we know this in perky
a vote that don't be like servants who
serve their master master on condition
to receive a prize so it seems to me the
the been Yoda says that there's a type
of reword there's another type of reward
which tsadikim are asking for okay so
all those tsadikim out there that are
looking for reward this is what the kind
of reward ready for this year's
ridiculous jota hearing a righteous
person wants other people to gain merit
they want to afford merit they want to
make sure people are being raised up
sure you call missus halachic that if
anybody out there can't do the midst the
right
join me through my observance to my act
of keeping the missus I'm gonna raise
those who are doing it in a weak fashion
okay
shame lamp o'clock wish Lane was Lalo
Aslam al-al'ama chameleon they not date
whoever it is out there that doesn't
have the power or the knowledge or the
ability to complete the Mitzvah properly
to bring it to the highest levels shall
Uniqlo lean in Mitzvah tov and it Lanvin
not limbaugh they'll be included with
his mitzvahs and will hang and become
dependent on him kadesha got a musical I
lost LaMacchia Mellie on chemo so that
they would reach the highest of heights
just like the Sadiq just like that
righteous person
will raise himself up will who raise
other people with him kid Derek now this
is interesting
like a boat shooter like a simple boat
should totally most of bathenosh shell
ish
so uhm Ruhollah hit camo the clear-cut
Lee the vineyard I lived in Iraq 125
years ago he's talking about a steamboat
that's what Athena H I think he says
let's say you have a simple boat you
just have oars or a sail so you can pull
a line you can hitch a line - Athena H a
vote of fire what's a bone of Fire a
steamboat and you can take it easy right
so you got this the gutta lat door Moshe
Rabbeinu the most righteous people of
each generation don't like the
steamboats they're moving chugging ahead
and you are like the sailboat or the or
the bow with oars so you can just hitch
a ride man just like throw them the road
and take I don't mean take the easy road
but basically to reach the destination
he will this tug boat or the steamboat
will be of great assistance it'll get
you to the destination that's right
without tiring out because you're weak
not you you know the the regular boat is
weak compared to a spirit H I think
that's what it means a tugboat or a
steamboat
or busy parasha busy at the schmeyer
okay so he says as we read in huzzah now
this is in perky a vote what is the
reward for a mitzvah a mitzvah right
skaar Mitzvah Mitzvah the reward of the
Mitzvah is another Mitzvah there's so
many ways to understand this but he's
going to explain like this
Russell Lamar yet Hobby emits voto
mitzvah carrot shall other my hair she
he elusive raka we're talking about this
God will adorn this righteous person
this great person so you're gonna
connect with his mitzvahs another
Mitzvah any Mitzvah Mitzvah raca shall
Adam a ham of another person who's
weaker than you kadesha Ganzi tisca
lalala Malcolm a Liang so the reward of
the Mitzvah is another myth so we're
talking metaphysically here you're doing
there's a nursery going on you're doing
a mitzvah and you're since you're a
righteous person you're attaching
yourselves to all the other weaker
people who are doing other mixes you
bye-bye
I mean it's not magic it's spirituality
it's pure spirit you do the dirt doing
God's will and each person is different
and they they're doing certain mixes and
you're doing certain misses all the
vigil is responsible for each other this
is a this is another thing I just want
to bring up that unfortunately
Christians will know whatever in this
cases they have no clue what they're
even talking about they they come and
tell us you can't be a fulfill Jew
because you can't do all the mitzvahs
right but then little did they know that
God never told us to do all the mixes
I'm not a woman the last time I checked
right and my wife's not a man so there's
only certain myths that she can do and
there's so many myths is I can do
and we're neither cone even Olivia more
regularly Australian as many rinses as
non Cohen we cannot do we're not farmers
there's a lot of missiles we don't do
right there's so many there's so many
myths is that our
unique to certain people at certain
times right now I can't do matzo and
what would help for me to sit down to
eat a keziah some matzo it's not Pesach
and what help would it help me right now
to pick up a little of an s Road or to
blow a shofar it's not Rosh Hashanah so
it doesn't matter what they say they
have no clue what they're talking about
it's never about one Jew fulfilling all
the mitzvahs all the time or any given
time it just doesn't work like that
but rather this is interesting that
we're all in this together
when I do a mitzvah I can help other
people or with someone who greater than
me can do Mitzvah
they can help me as well listen to this
idea so we're attaching ourselves to
people who are weaker and even doing
other mitzvahs in order also to raise
them up to a higher place who bazaine
nick charlotte Sadiq has a bow mrs.
Godot lava Kazakh this is what is
considered to the flow righteous person
he's the bow Mitzvah he's the master of
this Mitzvah Haggard ola with kazakh he
which is very great very strong q us a
gunman Sushil Dada mafia it's as if he's
doing the midst of another person me
patiently you're also emo in order to
bring him out with him cuz all the
mitzvahs are connect just like all the
Jews are connected believe it or not all
the mitzvahs are connected when I do one
Mitzvah I'm also doing a spark of 612
other mitzvahs I never have to do the
other 612 I do one Mitzvah properly it's
like I'm doing all the mitzvahs we
talked about this also I don't remember
the verse we talked about the idea that
the opening of Gehenna the opening of
show of this horrible or opening in the
ground it's for anyone who didn't do any
mitzvahs but if you did one Mitzvah
you'll be saved from Gehenna meaning one
Mitzvah properly you just do one Mitzvah
properly perfectly you've any idea not
only do you save yourself you could be
saving so many people with you
that is the most amazing thing you do
the mitzvahs you save the world
okay and this is what he's talking about
then he says like this luli who know I
look Clark I lost if it was not right if
he didn't have this power to raise up a
young Moshe Rabbeinu or Sean Murtagh the
Chicanos laris user al the kind mitts of
super-earths could they she use
crosshair him on udo listen to this
Moses had this power and all the reward
the reward while scar Cosette this type
of reward the Moses got was because he
desired to enter just the desire to
enter to Eretz Israel to fulfill the
mitzvahs in order to raise other people
up that's why he wanted to come in to
land so badly that kind of reward not
the kind of reward that we thought
originally oh yeah forget the reward for
doing mrs. no for raising all the other
Jewish people he taught for 40 years he
wanted to be there to actually see them
do the missus and to help them if they
had any questions jaws are hairy
mushroom it kind mrs. Barrus then it
would be others which would fulfill the
mitzvahs in the land ain't be yogam
Carla kya Mitzvah Schlemmer maybe they
wouldn't have in their ability to
complete it properly entirely and the
solution maybe they would be weak vain
la cara in Lacock sha allah allah mala
and maybe they wouldn't have the ability
to raise to the highest of heavens the
the mitzvahs nas Uniqlo amina they would
be included with him his he wanted to
come in to do the mitzvahs but not for
his sake and his reward but to bring
omnis route to a higher place the who
lost some emo i just want to stop here
because i want you to know the soul of
the messiah is Moses
so that's why Isaiah 53 fits in
perfectly by the way okay
it is a messianic prophecy but we have
to know how to read it it's talking
about the servants of God that's the
Jewish people
Moses is equal to all the Jewish people
we discussed as many times before God
wanted to wipe out the Jewish people
though says no no Tim write me up
you take scales you have on one side
Moses and you have 600,000 Jews Lamia
and it's even Moses is actually equal to
the whole Jewish people it's called the
Torah of Moses called the tone of the
Jewish people
so who's the servant in Isaiah 53 the
same servant and Isaiah 42 and onward it
says yes trails my servant and you
through a land Moshe are synonymous okay
okay and that's the job of the dulling
israel of the leaders of the generation
and that's the job of the messiah
that's the job of the messiah to bring
us up that's to raise us up higher and
higher to higher levels it's not magic
it's simple through teaching through
encouraging through for being a role
model right it's not magic
yeah well there will be supernatural
powers no doubt okay so then it goes on
like this I'm gonna go back nips ænima
kaya and mitzvot ah Hoss it comes out
that he's not fulfilling one Mitzvah
element kind command misses so when the
righteous person is helping so many
people with all these mitzvahs he's not
doing one Mitzvah he's fulfilling so
many myths of simultaneously shame Oh
Dominic laulima nidalee mitzvahs that
they themselves are included and hanging
on his mitzvahs vows they are marlo
that's what God meant when he says Klum
atomic occasion
you're not going in there to get reward
and then he says I'm gonna give you it
right you're only going in there for
reward you're not going there for any
other reason I'm gonna give it to you
meaning mrs. Ella herring you're talking
about the reward from the Middle's of
other people that's when you're helping
them with so you not leave a mitzvah
teka they're hanging on to your mitzvahs
shegaon said Nick rivers shamed scar
this is also called there's another name
for the reward
just like we explained and he doesn't
and later on he goes into the Mitzvah
Guerrera Mitzvah or scar Mitzvah Mitzvah
and I want to just mention that this is
only gonna be part one I really I'm
tempted to try to go through this
because it's so unbelievable but this is
going to give you a taste of what yet is
to come and I wish you all shabbat
shalom and happy readings and come to
her to child live we want you here we're
looking forward to return and
have a great life
