Lag Ba'Omer: HEAD SOUTH

okay good evening everyone thanks everybody for coming tonight is of course that's why the sound wasn't working until mayor came and he miraculously worked his magic okay tonight's sh is dedicated by my dear friends ritti Stern theover the Arts of raer and uh tonight sh is dedicated by my dear friend who's been listening to R shum now for over 10 years RI sisma in honor of the she and the connection to ra ban and tonight sh is dedicated by Ruben Abu of Panama Ru Ben okay so uh tonight we're going to speak about because this coming I will have the great privilege since meon is closed to go to the next best spot to go to the Rama so you say did I know that meon would be closed when we booked the trip to go to cout I can reveal the answer to that question but tonight we're going to speak about and a detail of the G that tells us the story of and this detail I can I cannot get out of my mind for quite a while the famously tells us in that 12,000 pairs of TM Raba had Raba had 12,000 pairs of tum they ex they occupied the entire length and breadth of er from gas until aunti Paris isn't everybody ATI Paris but that's the name of the place mikas until ATI Paris and they all died at one time because they did not Accord honor one to the other and the world was desolate until R came to the rabbis of the South and he taught them who are they rud shim and sh they established the T at that moment we learned they all died from they all died a difficult death okay I was hooked on one word there's one word I couldnot get out of my mind says RAB came to rabab the rabbis in the South like it matters where the rabbis lived 24,000 students died until RAB AA came to the the rabbis in the South why is it relevant where the rabbis lived let's say they lived in the East the West the north was is it is this a significant detail obviously if the gamar reports it it's obviously very important what is the significance of the fact that Raba taught these rabim in the South another interesting thing if I were to ask you where is Babylon relative to the land of Israel so probably you would say that in the gamar it always says that if something took place in it says they taught in the west so Babylon must be East And yet when the nvi says and predicts that Babylon will attack the evil is coming from the north what do you mean the north the north bille is North of Israel I mean you don't have to be a major in geography to know Babylon is not north of of Israel North of Israel is Lebanon Syria turkey but Iraq is Du East Iraq is east of Israel so what does thean but it's not just the the says is north of so the gar also maintains that Babylon is north of is in fact rash says a line three lines to the end of says Babylon is east of so the asks really Babylon is east of is doesn't thear say B is north of is thear babra says also is north of so why is Rashi saying it's East so the simple way out of this question in other words question is like this thear G says Buel is North the P says it's north Rashi says it's East a map says it's East so the easy solution is it's both it's Northeast in fact says on the third lineon is the northeast of butak has a genius solution to this Rak says Babylon is only east of Earth Israel but how do you think you get from B to Isel you go you go west through the desert you travel through um un impassible terrain the way you get from above you go north you go west you go south so Babylon when Babylon invades Isel even though he's coming from the East but he's entering from the north so when the navi says the evil is coming from the north it doesn't mean Babylon is north of so it means it's going to be North because it's coming from the in other words the country is not North but it's coming from the north fine we're going to offer a new answer to this question so we have the answer of tus that it's both north and east we have the answer of yakobin that it's East but in order to get from east to west it has to go north and come down from the north let's talk about AB in thees you ever hear of thees the Bible that Moses brought down from sin by the wayu was a of that's why it says Chevy is not a old car Chevy is say the only goes in One Direction the only Direction he ever travels is south that's when he was going from is to fine now if I were to ask you so probably when it says he was coming back from is what direction was he traveling in you would expect the would say now AB is going north you know what the PK says by the way on the word Who is the which means aside from the fact that it sounds differently than it's a so you pause if you don't pause the M says you have to go back and the listeners have to correct the B the good thing is nobody knows what a is or a or that the M says you have to correct the guy but that's comes up from MIM him his wife and everything that belongs to him and with him to the South is going north says Rashi he's coming to the south of is just say he's going north I mean is there a problem to go north you're not allowed to go north when when GPS told AB go north he went South is there is something wrong with the North thear says if you want to become wise when You Face sh you should if you want to become wise when You Face aside from Facing East you lean toward the South a little bit okay so that that's the East that's the South a little you face a little bit that [Music] way and if you're well you want to be wealthy y should face a little bit to the north how do you remember that the shulan which represents wealth was in the north the Mona with which represents wisdom was in the South let's say you want both that's why people Shuckle no it doesn't work you have to choose so says face South because if you're wise you'll make money also but there are people who make money but they're not wise and they lose it what yeah so yeah so so if you want both now listen to this the says long life is on the right side wealth is on the left side think about that we're talking about south and north now what does right and left have to do with it and now we're about to discover something very important the the right side is a direction and the left side is a direction how because we we always say a person faces East so if I face East I would be turned around now my right would be the South and my left would be the north the south is y the north is thank you the north the south is Yin and the north is smile the South is Yin and the north is smile the left side it's very interesting throughout CH the wise people they're always in the South thear says 10 questions Alexander mtim asked the elders in the South why why do the smart people only live in the south they're no smart people in the north they're only smart people in Florida not in New York that's why Jews love Miami cuz that's where the wisdom is they certainly don't go for the weather right why would they go for the weather it's humid there unbearably humid the whole year New York has better weather than Miami so why do they go it's just to get they're just so much K in Miami now you don't know if I'm serious or not well that's good okay so but throughout sh the wise people are always in the South for example theim is it says says the wise men in the South are exceptionally wise or the where the gar says the woman said you gave me an AR manav literally an arid land a dry land the Gans that all it has is Tyra nothing else the ne is Tyra South is Tyra this is very interesting Raba goes to teach the rabu he's always going south how do we understand this and this is an observation made by one of the the he says is always in the South he says something amazing you know why is in the South what direction is God in is in the marav and God writes with which hand God is a righty or a lefty he's a righty so he writes with his right hand what's he writing the Tyra so if God's in the west where's the Tyra the T must be in the East if God's in the west and he's writing with his right hand says so I know what you're thinking but how do you know which way he's facing but if he's in the west and he's riding with his right hand the toyra is in the East so the first thing we learn is is in I'm sorry is in if God excuse me is in the west and he's riding with his right hand that's the West over there so his right hand would be the South the Tyra is in the South wisdom is in the south not Southern Hospitality Southern wisdom I there's no such expression coin it now the WRA is in the south is in the South the are in the South but now we're going to learn something even more amazing cuz we learned that we have these two directions the South and the north the north that's where the money is the South that's where wisdom is but which one isid and which one isid let's put that aside let's put that on hold for a little bit there's a PK in it says who read sa and wake up in the north and come to the South so before today I heard a beautiful V from the bellab the SAR of bells today I discovered that it came from it's the question when you learn Tyra should you say well I'm not going toar learn unless I do it for the purest motivation but right now I don't have the purest motivation so I'm not going to learn let's say somebody pays you to learn should you learn for for money yeah let's say you don't want to learn but you know if you learn people are going to honor you should you learn for Co yeah why you should always learn and do for an ulterior motive cuz from the ulterior motive you'll come to do it start in the north say I'm going to do the mitzvah for money for for wealth for because eventually eventually you'll get to the South that's the said and the get up in the north when you want to go do a Mitzvah and you have an ulterior motive do it for an ulterior motive it's good to do for ulterior motives cuz eventually you'll come to do it that's now I'm going to tell you something you didn't know this I didn't know it either how many is the world a circle or a square the world is is wall but the universe has four sides north south east and west are there like walls like you know your house let's say your wife wouldn't be happy if you're you didn't have walls right I'm assuming I'm assuming that you need your walls does the universe have walls the gar says look at this number 20 the world is like a portico it's closed on three sides the north side is not is not closed in mayor Glon did you know that tonight is Mayor it's a very special night now which s did you know the world has four sides and three walls but one side is open you know which side is open the north the north is open Dr goodnick which side is open the north Mattis which side is open Gordon which side is open mrus what side is open okay the north is open says perar why is the north open maybe we should take a trip to the north cuz if it's open you know maybe say God built the four side he didn't complete it he left it he left it open why anyone who says he's a God God will say really close in the fourth side everyone will know you're a God now who hangs out in the North maik shim demons monsters what are some other good words for that goblins anyone new Isaac what else what else hangs out in the north the the bad thunder lightning evil comes from the North or all evil comes from the north by the way most carb in the north to like ward off any any ra coming from the north okay ready for this this Friday we're going to have the to be either Friday or M shabas at mayor's great great great great grandfather's K say why mayor not me cuz it's mayor is direct me I only married inala we're going to be at the Cala Malala it says on his C he spoke toi face to face that's that's that's very special that's that's very special you have a good way with words that's very special the Malala who had G says the world has four sides one side is open what do we call AAR you ready whoever gets answer gets an extra popper the did you ever think what in the world does the word Alim mean where does that word come from you ever say that in all the gods of the nations are what does mean says it's they can close the fourth side the definition of AAR is God says you're God close the fourth side they can't close the fourth side it was worth coming here tonight A that's a good one Isaac no do you know the it says in four says what's the secret of he's going to tell us okay God's finishing the world he's closing in the forth side so you say what what what like Mia why is like isn't Alo coming to say that mashiah is coming ELO is coming to say that we're we're building the fourth wall what does the fourth wall have to do with Redemption obviously if all evil in the world is coming in from the fourth side closing that fourth side is going to prevent all evil in other words you could ask a question this the Pinas I found asked this on bous why is it a proof that someone is is a false god if he can't build the fourth wall That's the proof oh in other words you have these guys lining up I'm a God I'm a God I'm a God so God really you're a God make the fourth wall oh he can't make the fourth wall so he's not a God Like that's the ultimate barometer he can't make the fourth wall the answer is all difficulties and challenges and evil in the world come from this conceptual idea that it comes from the forth side if they can close in the for side that means they have no control in this world they're not a God they're not a force not a power if they can't make that fourth wool they're not a power does anybody remember the PK what's special about the word the word the me in middle of the word is a final me it's the only time in tanak you have a me in middle of a word as a box why cuz it's talking about when mhia comes what's mhia going to do he's going to make he's going to close the Box he's going to close the Box by the way says Malala Muk what's the first letter of the Tyra Mr gck you're on a roll tonight what's the first letter of the Tyra a base huh says Malala Muk what side is the Bay open says Muk the that side migala Muk says is the r saf it's the r saf it's closed in on the south and it's open on the North and it's closed in the East and it's closed in the west the open Bays the magal Muk says represents how God created the world he created the world with the word bous specifically with the O B and if the says the world is open on the North the B writes represents the open side on the North by the way the world has who's going to close in the fourth side alahu what's he going to make a what did God make with elah a bris bris is the gatria of m Time 4 also writes the tah begins with the letter B why to to indicate that the world is open in the north side so all evil comes from the north all challenge comes to the north you know people think money is good if you use it right it's good but money is in the north wisdom is in the South just the pure suit of money is part of evil what's the first letter of the Tyra back to Dr goodnik B what's the last letter of [Music] the to speak to him today and yesterday and Friday told me very amazing he said I'm going to just say as a side piece nothing to do with the she you know Rim went into the cave for 12 years he came out he's burning everything up everything he goes in for one year and now everything's good what's sub he said didn't you ever wonder the F 12 years didn't do it and the 13th year did it now he's given sheer on before him in fact he has a massive saer on he said do you remember the mug AB brings there 12 you ever hear this the talks about there 12 and then there's a a general gate the mag says the general gate is says n nice try remember this subject there's there 12 gates and there's a sh says says both right that in there also 12 gates and then there's a sh so Rim went into the cave for 12 years connected the 12 gates but still he needed to go in one more year to get the sh when he went to get the sh he was able to assimilate everything together so this is the deeper meaning of the Torah begins with a base what what is a base it's open on what side the north that indicates that when you start learning you could be motivated by the Safa in the north money Cav ulterior motive because ultimately ultimately you'll get to the end of the T which is the final me where we close in the fourth side we close in the north you won't be motivated by that anymore but you could be Ur you could start with the bay you could start with the north because ultimately ultimately you'll close it in comes Yeshua in his saer an and he says something remarkable he says aside from the fact that money is in the north and wisdom is in the South the north is which side the left okay the south is which side the right do you get that because when you're facing East the right is the South and the left is the the north the right [Music] is the left side is mid you think it's a coincidence that Abu only travels in One Direction he only goes south because Abraham ISU is the Paragon of so his is constantly going south doesn't matter whether he's going from Arab is to Egypt or from Egypt is he's always going in he's constantly sing he's constantly growing in what in the a of he never went North once in his whole life doesn't matter where he's going he's going to Basel he's going to he only goes ah says Rua and this would be another answer to our question is B in the north no B's in the East so why does it say the Evil's coming from the north cuz we saw him piar God created the world he closed it in on three sides it's open on the fourth side what does that mean all evil comes to the world through the medium of North the concept of North North is Mid North is mid then therefore let's wrap it up R teaches 24,000 students not successful they all pass away so he wants to be able to preserve where is T found where is wisdom found who's in the South so who does he go to R that's the first step the Second Step I was thinking and I found it today in the writings of Rak of Hil but this is an idea that I had why did the students of rabika pass [Music] away they weren't learning they were learning they didn't reach high levels of Lear learning they did they weren't they were that's the G in I believe the med says they were stingy in their learning there was Tyra but there's a certain element of mid in the Tyra there's a certain element of stringency in the Tyra in interpersonal of not being forgoing of not being magnanimous of not showing in their learning soika needed to make an adjustment because it's not enough just to learn when somebody learns it has to be a it has to be a not just to give over the information but to to help people to be on people to be people it's not enough just because their was a it was a so where does RAB go he has to follow in the in the manner of ab he goes to RAB he has to incorporate in this a kindness a mercy and by the way which sages does he teach [Music] R and we know their toy was a ra certainly r r was the one who taught the world what we're always the Beloved children of hm so was a of a of was also the says inash says could exempt the whole world from from mid from from the day I was created until now by the way R is on looking the Raj says when I'm around nobody goes to geham that's why everybody loves the Raj people why is everyone flacking to the Raj you want to hang around with the Raji so his Tyra their Tyra was a Ty of it's RAB it's a of the it's a like abrahamu and therefore we could say geographically there three approaches T says it's Northeast Rak says it's East but to get there you got to go north we're saying it's East but conceptually the evil of Babel is conceptually found in the north that's what Rua says on the other hand a which is a t the T has to be atti of RAB yeah why weren't they with [Music] him yeah I mean in other words it's not even Geographic it's uh it's it's the flavor of their Tyra it's not that they were hanging around in B A Lot the Sinai desert it's inter because ra is so ass with Taria you know you could be up in Taria but you're still RAB shab so this is an important Li as we head into that as we prepare for the of we have to make sure that our T is a and a of and this is the tah the says the h h h they were the ones who established the T at that time thank you very much
