KLM: How to Increase Worlds Perception of the Majesty of Hashem with Rabbi Asher Baruch Wegbreit

[Music] thank you parrots aaima TOA I want to welcome the members of yiben and the other followers in different locations in YouTube preparation for Russia Shana I heard Rabbi tatz speaking uh it's always a privilege for anyone who knows and he said that he wanted to present something that wasn't going to be like every um Shear that you're going to hear about Russia Shana I have the same intention just going to do it a different way so let's just discuss that Russia Shana we know is a day of decision it's a new year and it's a Time where hashem's going to make some very important decisions okay very we know that the p8 says hashem's also gonna decide how much yay we will have for the whole year based on how we approach these next the two days of rashash Shana the entire year in other words just like yis is right it's it's a time where you can absorb and then take forward a feeling of spiritual Freedom rash that's why it says says the p8 in that we say continuously this whole month of Hashem is my light the mid says that's rashash because ironically most of the year we in darkness and it's only through a sense of awareness and awe and trepidation that we see the light so it's a big opportunity huge okay and if you think I'm trying to encourage you you're correct why because one of the biggest challenges and this is we know everyone who knows km this is part of our mission is repetition can turn us into robots right when you have to do the same thing again and again it can dull your presence and the truth of the matter is though if you flip it the other way he who can stay engaged and connected after one time after another time that's a person who spiritually has a heartbeat he's alive she's alive okay so I I want to speak about the fact that you know we repeat the entire rashash Shana service on the second day and there are certain prayers that when you first um hear uh Express them you feel a sense of a and wonder right we're requesting give us a a gift to have P like an extremely intense level of your AEM so first time maybe second time how many times are we going to say this nine times nine times is there anything we can do to say it with the level of Engagement and intensity as time one yes simply put yes and this this is what going to be part of our whole approach here is you have to realize what you are doing on rashash Shana what you are affecting Etc so let me first is open with the ramal you know the goal is and we're going to talk about this tonight in somewhat depth the goal is for the entire world to be fainting in awe of of the Glorious Kingdom of Hashem to look at the world not as a you know uh scientific uh um object to look at it as an orderly and magnificent Kingdom right that's what we're yearning for we're yearning for that so says the ram ram believe it or not through kavana in you're bringing you're advancing the recognition of shem's glory and Kingdom in the world by merely saying it with kavana okay I would like to venture that if we say malus with cavana it's going to be incredible the impact it's going to have but if the essence of the day is hashem's kingship then that prayer called malus is super important so what kind of kavana am I speaking about when sorry is the ramal speaking about when he says that tainaka with kavana is actually bring advancing the kingship on the day of rashash Shana it's an incredible thought okay that's called cavan right km kavz but you also have KLH I think kav no KHL KHL cavanas Al what's the difference cavanas Al is what we classically think about when we think of cavana which it means Focus attention concentration contemplation reflection okay that's the ROM call in my humble opinion is saying that if you have cavan again and again your drawing down the kingdom amazing okay I it's very hard to concentrate on something that you're so familiar you stop noticing what's there and that's where kavana litus comes in as a a professor I read his thing he said he said ready and it's emis intention drives attention intention drives attention so the more intention you have W it with your involvement with these prayers the more attention you will pay the more connection you will make okay I hope you get this overview is really important okay now another thing is to appreciate as I as I mentioned the peloid says that the day rashash Shana you are accumulating your um your Bounty of Yus hasem for the year so what kind of Yus hasem so we can say all right but the day is really about Urus Aroma moose right some commentators actually see that you have the you have the following rungs Onish fear of punishment don't dismiss it because some times you need it and if you neglect it what a shame so you have yourish then you have AEM and then you have Urus hasem what's going on here in other words some say to be a struck y right awesome not the way it's said in the street awesome days right filled with awe right that's the highest level of your that you can attain and Russia sh is completely constructed that way and the prayers are so the the mitzvah tonight we're going to focus on is attaining your hasem through to Fila Eun toila that's that's the mitzah we're doing now I want to tell you something else I I mentioned how do we fight against repetitive feel ings of death okay how do we battle that so I mentioned part of it is recognizing what you're doing so we already pointed out that you're actually causing an advance of the Redemption and the glory just by reciting withana okay that's but also I want you understand how much kadia you will be enveloped in when you have cavana for the Mitzvah okay let me explain the r the the evid melik schoer he learns from the ROM and before I spread this idea I wanted to make sure someone you said I'm understanding it correctly so there was a hush of POS in London and he says you he says it's unequivocally true according to the rombom okay as follows when hasem repeats something right if he repeats the same commandment more than once that means that when you fill the Commandment with consciousness of the number of times that it's commanded then you filled okay let's take AEM AEM it's commanded nine times okay so when you have I just say when I'm saying VI AA in the krishma I just say times n in my mind right what happens then I wish I could tell you but I saw this Mish a saar's reading he said like this he says do you know why we don't have a sense of the kadosa the Holiness that is um we're becoming uh inconen do you know why we don't have a sense of it why we don't have a sense of the impact of our Mitzvah he says it's very simple you would lose free will you would be a Mitzvah machine that's what would happen so ready for this um one of the I'm I'm thankful to say one of our fans of KM is rosi misi and I was sending him some km materials and I showed him we had a tree we had the tree of AAS hasem and the tree of Y so he told me that a he says you can rely on says REI how many times is yusem commanded in the Torah 18 times do you hear this so when you enter rashash the hog of your suran and you have intention to fulfill the Mitzvah of yurus sh times 18 you hear one Mitzvah even without kavana you will lose your free will you would lose your free will if you understood what's taking place times 18 okay I hope I've done a decent job selling engagement in the Mitzvah with intention to attain attention okay what are we going to focus on Russia Shan is enormous there's lots of Mitzvah to have cavana for and if you'll email me at Rabbi webite Gmail or Whatsapp I'll send you uh the multiple different mites in the day but tonight we're zeroing in and I want to pack your recital of malus with kadou and Mitzvah that's my goal all right so we're going to go right to that have in mind the Mitzvah of teila looking deeply into teila which the we are going to get some beautiful reward in this world and it's going to not detract from the next World okay let me just share screen um right I'm about to share the prayer of malus in the musaf of rashishana okay this is the special prayer of musaf and what I want you to see here is the opening of um malus and the closing all right and you know it's interesting I've been studying as best as I can public speaking and everyone says the opening is key and the closing is key now this Anessa who formulated this right they knew how to open and they knew how to close so let's take a look how does malus the coronation prayer how does it open we good parot uh not yet it doesn't seem maybe I didn't it didn't hit share one second GL I asked how about now yeah that's great all right wonderful uh I will I will translate in he the Hebrew for those who who need that tus mus the first day of Russ it's also the second malus that's what we're we're talking the ark is opened okay says the L when the ark is opened it's like you are walking into The KES kosim the holiest place in on Earth okay and what is what comes next Al alenu is the introduction RH Freelander explains the first one is an introduction to the whole thing it's essential okay so it opens with alenu and how does it close how do we complete uh the prayer of M there it is if you can see my little hand there lore in your Torah writes saying isem elu it opens with alainu it closes with Shar is there any more more to that yes I hope you're ready for this is very very deep so let me uh let me now uh move to um to understand this what we want to understand is why does it open with a closed with shma what is the connection between alenu and the shma so let me just pull this up okay I hope I'm still share screen oh good okay parrots how we doing yeah yeah it's good okay you can see the whole thing yeah all right notice that every every letter here is in white except there's for a few in the Royal color of orange okay let's look um let's look I I reverse the order for a reason okay let's look at shma the first this come this Insight comes from the Sedar okay the shma has an iron and right so the the SOS right the last letters of the first word and the last word spell a Aid an aid is a witness is someone who testifies so shma seems to be involved with adu's testimony now let's look at elenu first paragraph and second paragraph alenu there's that orange ion and look at the very end an OD doid Aid next look at the second paragraph alcain I in look at the very end doid coincidence I think not okay so it what I'm I like trying to focus on Mitzvah that are not just uh you know for special times if I can you know shman aleno is a daily experience okay so I'm hoping and praying this is going to impact not only your rashash Shana but but also the rest of your year okay so let's start with the shma what are we saying there right we're declaring we're saying listen Israel Hashem elu Hashem is our god let's say Hashem is one let's use the commentator that we all rely on rashi rashi says like this hasem is our God and you know rashi's bothered by the fact that what do you mean he's God of everybody right no one's escaping Hashem being their God so Rashi says he says though hashem's Our God now hasem and it says in the future in the Final Redemption Hashem will be recognized as everyone's God okay so so right right now hashem's our God but he will be recognized as everyone's and it will be glorious okay so that's all right that's the shma now we have two paragraphs in alenu and it's amazing because they completely parallel what Rashi just said the first paragraph says it's upon us who the Jewish people it's upon us to praise the master of everything to attribute greatness to the one who made braches on and on the whole paragraph is about our testimony to the existence of God when do you need a witness when you when or Witnesses called upon when something really uh important occurred and others weren't there to witness it right so the witnesses report out to those who can't who weren't there we were taken out of Egypt we were given the Torah at harini right because of that we have a perception of AEM being God that no one else has we are testifying to hashem's hashem's existence and managing ment and kingship you hear that that's what the first paragraph is if you will you have the shma and we know this it says the mid tanuma the Torah is so divinely concise it says things of endless depth in a few words hasem elu there's a whole paragraph of death unfolding what it means that he's our god what do we see that the world doesn't see yet okay so that's what in over that's the first paragraph okay now let's go to the second paragraph what did Rashi say AEM the whole world will reach a point where they'll see the glory of hem they'll see It'll be their God too so look at this and by the way for you reciters of alenu I I just know this because you know I did a lot of research and wrote a book on alenu so I'm not trying to make you feel bad about the Insight I'm about to share it actually comes from the Hashem really wants people to be honest and truthful and you know he can tell whether we are truthful or not so every day we we when we site eleno I'm just going to read you the first line [Music] therefore we're yearning we're hoping and yearning for uh for you and we're using hashem's name to see the Splender of your strength etc etc right so a key way to elevate your alenu is realize you're praying there in the first paragraph you're praising in this paragraph you're praying you're yearning for the Redemption what why because you want the whole world get ready for this to recite krishma right right now it says shem's our God now with it let me show you that um in the look on the give me a second third line uh a third line at the end where my cursor is everyone will maabo will accept the Yoke of Heaven that's what we're doing right now you hear this we are praying that we become duplicated right but because the thing is this is it all about us no it's about Hashem you know isn't it sad isn't it sad to us that the Glorious Giver who's made such a credible world people are totally in the dark physically spiritually totally in the dark okay so anyhow that's the second paragraph and that's Aid so we are te in the first paragraph This is an overview I'm just giving you certain understandings and structures so when you recite ALU especially on rash you'll be able to do it with kavan because once you understand the structure you can go deep in the details and it'll be delightful Okay so again the first paragraph of alenu is expanding out the words ashem elu and it's talking about what we see what we've witnessed that the rest of the world hasn't we're testifying to all those incredible ideas about aen the second paragraph Aid We're testifying but based on our belief and amuna we are testifying that the whole world will eventually get there and I'll just tell you and we're going to finish this segment and have just one more segment to go let me give you a little um amazing little uh Insight in the second paragraph Okay I want to draw your attention to the second line in the second paragraph it says like [Music] this all of all people of Flesh will will will call will call out your name okay now by the way this is based on the abam and the MAF tanak okay what does that mean okay what name are we talking about we're talking about the name good Cave of K which we now can only say adoni right which means Adon and there is that we we we can look at it how it's written but we cannot pronounce that when was when was it possible to pronounce that name well the coing guttle on Yom Kipper in the in the K kosim he pronounced the name right that's why we bow down in the Yum Kipper service because we're remembering this incredible time where he actually expressed the name and we all know I mean there I'll just a quick story uh King David a Goliath's brother wanted to kill King David this is thear Sanhedrin so he takes a he's huge huge and strong like his brother so he takes a sword and he sticks it in the ground and he throws King David up into the ground and King David should have been by the laws of gravity impaled on that sword but his General was aware of this and he used AEM AEM he used one of hashem's names and he stopped him in midair and then he went and killed gol's brother okay that's like when we say we're not just talking about pronunciation here right it's profoundly um how do I put it it's something powerful happens when you when you express aem's names okay are you ready for this write that name what the in lenu what it's saying is like this in the future when Shem will be one even every nonew every non-jew that merits to be alive and of course the Jews that Merit to be alive will be saying the Y KK out loud with all its glory and power something that only the co God on Kipper could do every single person in the Redemption will be expressing that name do you okay so I just want to give you a little a feel of that all right we have one more piece okay because I want to um I want to give you a um something extra as we said intention affects attention so what I want to do with you now is give you a strategy to recite alenu on rashash in a way that as we said intention drives attention we're going to display and I'll share this with people that want we're going to display all the Mitzvah that are embedded in alenu okay so let me go to that okay here's uh and I'm to again please reach out to me okay and then and I'll I'll send this to you but right now I don't think it would be wise to go through the whole thing but there's uh we're we're familiar with the three six constant Mitzvah right people there's me there's mindset Mitzvah there's Mitzvah where just thinking the right thing um get creates so much Holiness and so much uh connect bonding to a that again we would lose our free will if we got exposed to it okay so those are thought menas mindset mitzah so there's a noi um which we're talking about here and we're going to talk about um two others but my point is this I've read that missioner Brewer that says if you take a second to think about these Mitzvah you can you can't possibly imagine the the reward and the the connection you would Forge with the Creator just by thinking these things okay now as much as that attracted me like when am I going to do that right in last class we had we talked about homeostasis it is very hard to wedge in oh you know what in my spare time I'm going to think about Yem or an or there are no other gods it I found it hard okay maybe others relate but then I realized something thank God Su alenu is chock filled with thoughts that fulfill that Mitzvah so all you have to do is connect the dot of the Mitzvah to what you're saying Okay so let's just quickly review the Mitzvah that are embedded in lenu okay the first one is belief in hashem's existence whenever you describe anything that hasem does that he's the master of everything that that um um he his powerful divine presence is above and below every description of hashem's Providence or existence fulfills this first of the Ten Commandments this Mitzvah Muna let's go on do not believe in other gods right so this is this is what um is uniquely Jewish is the rejection of attribution um to any other force or power or person or even coffee like you know sometimes I used to think that coffee caused you to be alert but then I realize that no no no Hashem causes me to be alert right there's no other forces that are independent of hasem right so the rejection of attribution of power or force or control Etc that's the second commandment right next third where you say it recognizing the Oneness of hem okay it's a deep Mitzvah but just know alenu is packed with it finally here's a Mitzvah that I frankly don't understand why it's not considered one of the six constants okay and that's not forgetting harini right that you you you have a uh you have to be careful not to forget it you try to remember it every day okay okay that's in alenu as well all right so these are the mitzah that are filled when I wrote the book I counted 33 U Mrs daisa if you believe it uh I think there are more but here let me show you something here is the first paragraph okay by the way we have two versions of this if you don't want to print out a you know Chuck full of this beautiful Royal uh colors we have a print version okay but you know like Dr Setzer you know he puts these things on his stender you might want to consider printing this out for Russia sh okay so this is the first paragraph and what you see here is uh on in the parentheses in Orange are the fulfillments like I said an noi has to do with um recognizing a supervision and management right here look at third line from the bottom Hashem is our God an a there's no other okay so that talks about Etc you um the point is just all you have to do is add this intention have in mind maybe before you start malus for example I'm going to fulfill um the uh the three is toos and not forgetting Sinai as Hashem commanded okay so you'll be you'll be more focused and involved when you do this now last thing we're going to close the the second paragraph alenu is about the Final Redemption it is a superb place to fulfill the Mitzvah that they're going to ask a person when they go up to the world to come did you yearn for the Redemption and you can say yes every time I recited eleno there's other places every time I said Al I'm yearning I'm hoping so much to see quickly the Splendor of your power etc etc etc every phrase in the second paragraph now I and I got this confirmed from R burkowitz is I counted 13 different insights into the Final Redemption in that second paragraph So I said to re Buras the smok says he's a bali toos he says that um you fulfill the Mitzvah of a noi by yearning for the Redemption so I said to Rabbi uh asked Rabbi burwitz is it all just like one big an noi or is it 13 he didn't Flinch he says it's 13 misses that's how we got to the 35 you see this and then at the very end we have no other gods and hasem being that's Unity of hasem okay I have one more thing to explain and then we'll just uh summarize why is the Commandment anoi which in English I am the Lord your God who took you out of Egypt uh and the house of bondage why is that connected to yearning for the Redemption right Hy right I took you out of Egypt okay so the smok explains this and it's really um beautiful okay Hashem himself entered MIT ran and in his glory he took us out so it wasn't just getting out it was that the King of Kings a kades Bor himself took us out beyond belief the Egyptians they one opinion says the Egyptians died because they couldn't handle the the intensity of spirituality and hasem made a miracle that we could handle that so Hashem came in took us out then it says it says in the mus we say that hasem will come back a second time okay now have we been redeemed before yes by Hashem himself no in Hanukkah and porm for example in B Hashem didn't come in and take us out he he orchestrated it he you know he's completely involved nobody's working independently but guess what it says imp parous of him mosha says you know you're going to be in gullis and you're G to be knocked out and you'll experience all the blessings and the curses and then you're going to do Chua with all your heart and all your soul and hashem's going to going to take you out from there it's the same language hot Hashem himself is going to come back and take us out so it's like a gazer shva in other words it says it in the first commandment hasem was hoty us himself and now it says in the future hashem's going to hoty us again so your belief and your yearning for the Final Redemption is also an affirmation and fulfillment of the Commandment to believe Shem is God who took us out of Egypt and he's going to return please God soon please God as a result of our rashash Shana he's going to come back and take us again and I want to uh finish with something very exciting um at least two people over the past few years of KM have come up to me and said something that you know they said that this feels like the Torah of the mhia that Mitzvah and being connected and experienced deas through your recognition and Consciousness and intention and engage he said this just seems like the rede like the Redemption you know like tus msia okay I'm I don't know enough cabala and I don't think that's what they meant guess what the it right there where it says I'm going to come and take you out and redeem you right uh and it says you're going to do my Mitzvah with all your heart I think it's at all your heart and or so I I can send this to you the sorner says you will no longer do mitas you will no longer treat the Mitzvah like rot you hear this your mind and your heart will be connected and that's what we're trying to do okay that's what km is trying to do and all of you share the beautiful insights and how it's affecting you this is what it's it really is Tusa according to Forno okay so anyhow uh I want to wish everyone aim TOA and just to summarize my advice is that you fulfill the Mitzvah of Eun toil and really throw your being entertain CH all right and one of the ways to do that is first of all have in mind the Mitzvah of your hem times K times 18 and then draw your attention to these incredible Mitzvah of auna okay you'll be serving the King right as you recite you're serving him because you're fulfilling more Commandments my humble opinion this should please God give us a sweet year we're going to hear our non-jewish neighbors using aem's may I make yes please I I missed your points so um I remember once uh hearing from Rabbi green that when we say BYU uh after the on chabas night that it's a form of adus that it's a form of bearing testimony I remember uh learning from him the first time that in effect that the creation of the world is not fully complete until human beings acknowledge that and it was a very powerful idea in terms of you know how puny I am and how you right a speck of dust and yet in a sense I have a role to play in and we all have a role to play in being in effect Partners or participants with God and here when you're saying about adus it's like you know you're a wonderful teacher but a wonderful teacher in a sense needs students right without the students right the is there and the Torah is there but the the the the resistence of teaching of the the dynamic of teaching doesn't exist and so to here you know Hashem is the me doesn't need us but his plan is only uh is only manifested if there's people who people who recognize him and so that it's almost like what a privilege to be a part of this and in terms of the adus to be to be called on to be to be a witness to the King of Kings is unbelievable yes you know two things a few things and um Dr setz or Daryl if you can help with this what you were trying to tone it down about being Partners it really the gamar says you're partners with Hashem in the M of braus and as you said so insightfully what do you mean I'm puny hasem made the whole thing right so rabert green gave the um example rabie green gave the example of a of Partners where they're not equal but the second partner is absolutely necessary he has a minor role but it's it it without him it doesn't work even though he's not the main one does anyone remember remember how rabie green explained that does it strike a ring a bell St the bell I start remember how he explained it though okay but that's the idea what you said Sha but that's number one the other thing is is you know I was thinking uh you know there's these uh trials right there's these trials where the uh you know it's now it's all on you know all around on television all these things I won't go I won't go into Witch Trials or something like this but you you see that that there's a kind of you can probably discuss this much better than me there's a sense of uh awe or intensity when you're sharing information you have that information you're declaring it you know what I'm talking about absolutely yeah yeah so you're right it's a it's an incredible role we have testifying to this [Music] here
