The Miraculous Month of Tishrei

inash during we say depending on whether it's a weekday or we describe the yontiff of Russashana in very brief words like the does and then we say that we're celebrating this Okay. As a remembrance we repeat that in as well as it's [snorts] from the The of Kdesh that Russ amongst all the hats that it wears is also a day that we celebrate as a remembrance of Mitibal. One of the rishim brings that his brother asked them what does rash have to do with pes is of course of course is related to even the says but as it relates to rash at first glance the terra calls it in par as paras as a yua It doesn't seem to have any connection any nexus to why is it then that we mention in that and the brother said a very he said that says that there were many special things that took place on Russash One of the things that happened on rash is that the yidden that was slaves in mitim on rash there was a decree you no longer have to work being that on rash the yidden reached this incredible milestone as it relates to freeing themselves from the bondage of mitzah It turns out that there's actually a very strong connection between rash and the idea of and that's what we mean when we say in ding. [snorts] That's what we mean when we say in kdesh it's a to a very obscure line tucked away. But I was thinking that perhaps we can say another and really as a to this try to delve in a little bit into the idea of the of rashash and really [snorts] what the whole on some level of rashash is. So rashash is the yaden. What does it mean? So we say it in is part of you remember all the mim of the entire universe and your you recollect all the creations and literally going back to the beginning of time. and then we go on and on to say how on this day of when he remembers everything that everybody in the world does goes ahead and he judges mankind. It's pretty clear from the that when judges, he doesn't just judge the but he judges judges all the judges everyone and everything. In fact, it's even more explicit as you go further along in on this day with regards to all the countries it is declared All the are going to be remembered on this day. Every single person, Jew or non-Jew, every single creation in the world is remembered. Every single creation in the world is judged on the day of rash. Stating that it's posh that the judgment the way remembers and ultimately judges the yidden is different than the way remembers [snorts] and judges. And really what we're about to say is rooted in anarbanel. the banelas and paras on the para of rash but I think it requires a little bit of an introduction and that is in the really over the years in the raid we've mentioned many many many many times the it's maybe but the of the scattered throughout is his pure the first time mentions that is in paricut Zion Zaku is coming to now and he's going to tell him that that child that I promised you about, right? Those descendants and the holy land and all the that I made, they're about to happen. But before they happen, there's one thing you're going to have to do. You're going to have to be m the mitzvah of comes and the says was 99 years old revealed himself to he told him. So the introduction is I am which ultimately is going to result in the mitzvah of next words. What's that bris? It's the first of 13 times that it mentions the word Bris says the Ramb that [snorts] why was it that when introduced himself he said hi I'm the reason says that mentioned now this name because it's with that name of Shak that performs hidden miracles to the What does it mean? Hidden miracles is going to save life when it's in danger. And is going to save him when he finds himself in a state of hunger or if he finds himself in a war is going to redeem him from the war. And really this is just a way of describing all the miracles that happened to Abrau and not just all the others. And by the way, this is just a way of describing really what promised he's going to do to all the Jews. say known as the par of the or really should more be known as the par of all the and all the good things that are are supposed to happen because says the Raman if you think about it really that concept of you do the right thing you're going to be rewarded and you do the wrong thing you're going to be punished it's all miraculous because based on based on science based on physics based on the way the world operates It makes no sense in the world that if you serve Hashem and you dive in Ara and you learn and you don't speak lush and har and you do what is supposed to do now all of a sudden now it's going to rain when it's supposed to rain. Right? It also makes no sense the inverse. It doesn't make sense that the heavens should be dry as iron if we're going to go ahead and we're going to plant during the seventh year. doesn't discriminate between the seventh year, the sixth year or the eighth year. Says really all of the promises that you find in the that relate to if you do the right thing, X is going to happen and if you do the wrong thing, Y is going to happen. All of these things make no sense. These are all miracles. And in every one of these cases, what's happening is saying that I created and I am going to be on top of the right the way referred to as the mazo. This is astrology above my pay grade. But the point is in all these situations, what's essentially happening is being on top of the masle. He's being on top of the stating that says I refer to these miracles as the reason I refer to them asum is because there's nothing that's out of the ordinary that's really happening right when it rains because yidden are doing mitzvah at the end of the day all it did was rain the miracle is that it rained because yid They're not doing mitzvah. Not because tea dictates that now is the time for it to rain. The rain itself is not a miracle. It's the sib that is the reason it's raining. That's the miracle. It's a miracle but you don't see miracle because really what you see is in contrast says to the miracles that happened and those are different types of miracles those are miracles that took place and says that's why when I'm describing these miracles that happened to the others the miracles that the Torah talks about in paras I'm referring to them as miracles, but I'm acknowledging they're different than the miracles of these are miracles that are these are not it says that in as much as I told you that the through which conducted himself with were and it was with the shem of right that's the opening line theem because it's with that you should know as it relates to all the miracles that was going to do those miracles were different and they were also done with a different miracles that were done with the which had revealed to so says and for the storm done with Shakama for are done with the shame. They're both miracles because they're both defying tea. In one, you see the defiance of tea. In the other, the fact that it's defying tea is behind closed doors. It's the one where you see it is. the one where you don't see it. That's what's known as storm of storm says happens with the of as opposed to they happen with the way conducted himself with was shak the way would conduct himself with was going to be with but here's the punch line the over here in parichat in the to the parish of a raino was already 99 years old. Abrau doesn't have a child. Abrainu apparently was incapable of having a child says that the time has come for you to have a child. And I preface that by letting you know that I need Shak. I am a God that performs hidden miracles. I make the fact that tea is saying that you can't have a child. The fact that science and medicine is saying that you can't have a child will have no bearing on you because and this is how see right I'm not going to split the sea that's not what's going to happen you're going to father a child that somebody has a child but it's going to be because the fact that you're going to have a child right now is going to be something that I am going to do for you because you are righteous and because you have a destiny you're supposed to be the He's supposed to be the father, the patriarch of the Jewish nation, of really all the nations. And there's a hidden reason that is underpinning why it is that you're about to father a child. But here's the point. There's is miracles. They're both miracles. The difference is in one you see something out of the ordinary. the sea is split and the other one someone just has a child but the reason that person is having a child is not because someone's just having a child it's based on the fact that wants him to have a childish is being on the maz by going ahead and giving him that child but being that having a child in it of itself is not an open miracle it goes into the category of storm and that was the gave over here in beria's paricut This idea as we mentioned repeats itself many many times throughout the Ramban's pish. Another place that he talks about it in great detail is in parash the Ramban over there says just one excerpt the as it relates to the meaning the nation that received the the everything that happens to them every single last thing that happens to them is miracles. There's no there's no says all the all the promises of the if you think about them they're signs and wonders. They're miracles. Why? Right? Does it make sense that a person should die prematurely because he was born on or because he ate can be very healthy. say new every think about it says the Raman his words and then the Raman says you know I told this to you already I'm telling it to you now I'm going to tell it to you Yeah. Where's the next time that the Ramban says what did the Ramban mean when he said when he was when was he that I'm going to go through the one more time right in the beginning of so the says on the end of right it's only gotten worse it hasn't gotten better comes to Everybody knows who says now the Ramban says that even though the Evanzra got involved in realis but his line is I don't think the Evanzra fully appreciated what it is that he's saying but either way says the Ramb let me tell you the of what Hashem meant when he told Mosher Raen says Raman one paragraph when revealed himself to the office when he interacted with the office it was that was the shem with which he interacted with them because through that what he did was he was on top of the he was able to take dominance over this is almost verbatim what he writes in parts [laughter] because if a person is just going to be thrown into the wind and let carry him wherever he carries him. [laughter] The innocent bystander thinks that this is all says, "I'm going to tell you something unbelievable. It's for this reason I believe that the Torah talks so much about not so much it's but not explicitly as it relates to you know why it says Raman because in a way is a bigger than the fact that gets rewarded makes sense but the fact that you can do in this world and is going to change to somehow serve you. That's already an unbelievable because really the in this world are miracles that they literally are not in accordance with nature of and then the Ramban says that this is something that I'm going to come back to as well. But says Raan this is the Hashem tells you you know you're not really appreciating what's going on. So I'm going to tell you something you know I revealed myself to when I did it it was be shak I always did it through I always did it in a way where I was operating within tea. It was very miraculous. It was very miraculous. It wasn't tea but it looked like tea. It was framed by tea behind the scenes. If you knew what was pulling the strings, you knew would know it was it was it was 100% being on but at the same time it looked like the miracle was behav But you know what I'm about to do? What I'm about to do now is fast forward a few. I'm going to show you the gave off. You're going to see things that have never saw because my introduction to parakeid was this is a different introduction. And that's a whole different it's a whole different and says that's the of what it means on the one hand and on the other hand but Ramban in the middle of this piece said I'm going to come back to this and Ramban was mim this as well. When was that? When did Ramban come back again? It was the next para the next para sat down and it was in the end of the next para para's boy and he wrote about all the that came about from the like we spoke about in the and at the very very end of that famous Ramban the most famous Ramban by far right but at the very very end of that piece when the Raman talks about how all the amun and all the of really the foundation of the faith of the Jew comes from the stories of says the Rambd that when a person appreciates all the incredible miracles that took place by a person comes to appreciate that it's not just when Hashem splits the sea that there's a miracle taking place but really every single aspect of our life are all miracles because really appreciating and understanding is the foundation of the entire because a person does not have a portion in the until we believe says that the purpose of is to come to not only that is able to every now and again split the sea or perform a miracle that's going to wow everybody the purpose is to come from the and appreciate the because really the is the of the entire you read this Raman in the end of parishes by if this is the only you've ever learned well you don't really appreciate what the Ramban means with this but after you see the Raman parishes also then you appreciate in a a rich detailed way. What that means? What that means is no with clus with miracles. Our home is is but there's two types of miracles. All miracles can be divided into two groups. There are the the kale shakai miracles and then there are the miracles with the it was always shak miracles says he says and that's what it means when tells right before the mitzvah of and that's what it means because that's the way interacted with as it relates to the way interacted with at the that was with it was but at the end of the day they're all miracles one is the other one is but there's no such thing that is subject to we are not subject to tea there's science there's physics there's there is a world of tea there is a world of tea but has nothing to do with us has nothing to do with us has nothing to do with yen we are We entered the covenant of the laid down this like we spoke about we operate with in the within the confines of miracle. Every single thing that happens to us is miracle. And again to be clear doesn't say there's no such thing as tea doesn't say there's no such thing as he doesn't say there's no thing as mikra there is has nothing to do with us has you got the wrong guy has nothing to do with us and that's what separates us as and says talks about this throughout one of the places that brings out this distinction how we're different than is where it's one of the places the terror says So the ping says you may look up in the heavens right you're going to go up you're going to say I want to be right like and you're going to want to worship them right and these are that went ahead and gave them don't do that you know Why has no says you know why it shouldn't be used to worship the and the maz right that's what they used to worship and what the is saying is you have no to the let's see this again that's theirs of You you're a different Indian. You operate WITH EVEN WHEN IT DOESN'T LOOK like it. Even when it looks like you wake up in the morning, you go to work and you got a paycheck. It's no sh. It's not what's happening. Every single thing that's happening with you is you have no to the you know it's interesting. You read this even you go through the Rambans all the places that he says it's hard to appreciate it. I think I'm speaking for myself. Why? because we don't live in a world in so today even someone that is proverbally I don't think he's worshiping uh the constellations the star the moon and the sun right it's not the the modern version of of what is I think today what the pik would almost say is is science it's tea you know a yid wants to know his massive you don't google it you don't Ask GBT. All right, let's talk English. That's not what you're supposed to do. Aid is no sh the statistics say that. I hear it's very nice. So, a person whose life is totally in statistics. You're right. There's a 92% chance that whatever there's a 41.7% chance. Studies show clinical trials dictate. It's true for that guy. It's true. And and you know, you should you should sit down and write a sava. Maybe I don't know. I have no idea. But for us, no sh nothing to do with us. We're it's it's a different a it's no sh it's nois. We don't operate with tea. Statistics have nothing to do with us. Statistics governor. It's real. No one's mocking it. No one's scuffing at it. It's really It's real. The says for them, of course, that's what you should do. You're not feeling you're not sure what's going on. Google it and give GIVE YOURSELF ANXIETY. KNOCK YOURSELF OUT. THAT'S what you should do, right? Like somebody said, he went to a doctor for a second opinion. You know, he googled himself already. He diagnosed himself online because it no it's it's no we're the we operate in a different way. That's the biggest I don't think it's possible for there to be a bigger created a world. The world is there's science that governs the world. You can call it call it, you know, physics and astrophysics or whatever you want to call it. What's the difference? At the end of the day, there's something called that governs the world and there's one group of people that have no to it whatever this says it 900 times in 900 different ways. But this is the is there a bigger hdala is there's no bigger there's one nation that has no and that's really you know everyone struggles to understand the mystery of the Jews the story of the Jews the history of the Jews every historian is scratching his head coming up with enough theory to try to figure out how this works you know it's very simple we're different there's no shikhas you can't make aim you can't retrofit us back into the world of tea because we have no shik to tea that's the point and the ramban says it's not like a a raid bite. This is not like a good Yeah, I saw a nice marock. That says I think this Ramban, right? This is Ramban that's that's always quoted most uh prominently pes time. Obviously this is a ram you say over by the this is a a real but if you think about it this is such a it screams because what is rash is we give we acknowledge we recognize we understand that we're not that our year is not going to be dependent on you know whether interest rates are up or down it's not going to be dependent on whether the stock market has a good year or a bad year. It's not going to be dependent on science. It's not going to be dependent on mikra. It's not going to be dependent on what's going on in the the Middle East. It's going to be dependent on what the wants it to be dependent on. It's going to be dependent on our mitzvah. It's going to be dependent on that's what is. And really, if you think about when we're essentially that's what we're saying is we're acknowledging that we're not we're not subject to we are a nation that has a king and our faith is dependent 100% of what that king wants it to be. And that's really what the whole rashan is about. Says coming full circle that even though even though it's that the Russian is true for the like it is for the like only could say a lot of philosophical uh vernacular and terminology. But the bottom line is says that the for and the form is [snorts] as it relates to you know what the is the is based on yeah there's a lot that goes on only knows the but at the end of the day it's rooted in it's rooted in in what's right for us what's wrong for us what we deserve what we don't deserve but at the end of the day We're not based on what does it mean for says what it means is is that the of the year somehow gets set in the beginning of in fact he says that if you understand astronomy and astrology understand that maz's work just like you would realize that a person's masle is tian when he was born and what the mazle was at the time that he was born the same is true as it relates to the beginning of the year there's a reset in the world of maz that happens on the first day of which ultimately would dictate and will govern what everything is going to be but at the end of the day it's what's known now what mas is a whole different but it's all based on what mas is as it relates to the it's as it relates to has nothing to do with that as it relates to the all it is is mas and really this is so manifest in you know you forget that we're all together it's true there's really a very very big difference. The difference is by us it's all about but as it relates to the is something else you know we began with the brings in the name of his brother that why is it that when we dive in we say that why is it that when we make we say that why is right we said in the beginning of the first year it's It's it's uh it's happy new year. It's the first day of Right. It has a lot of titles. We said, right? There's a lot of things that make this day, right? It's a very very special day. But how did it become but maybe maybe you could say and maybe it's even posh and that is because really onash the component which dominates so much of sh is what it's an understanding it's a that we're going to give that's why you have that leads up that's why you have a because there's a recognition right that's the whole that's what's going on over here it's all about understanding and internalizing and appreciating the how do you come to the that's one line in the parishes by the how do you come to the it comes from the comes from that's with the root of kshak is it comes from So it's then when the comes and he's going to say I understand I'm giving you know I'm standing in front of the when he does that it's you know why because right now he's acknowledging what he's acknowledging is is that his entire world is called and where does that amu come from the said it came from it came from. You know what that means? You're making a because without you're not here. So this avoid of tapping into that comes from which was maybe that's the star but maybe it could just be one and maybe this is even and that is amongst the malus on rash we mention alenu right alenu features very prominently on on the yam in fact if you take a Look at the rishim in their pirashana they wrote a pirish on alenu because alenu is very critical it's very important right if you ever wanted to learn alenuan you wanted to go through so to speak take a look in the there's a lot there one of the verses that we say inu is we mention the fact that one day is going to be if you Take a look at the says why do we mention the shame shakai inu [snorts] what does that have to do with anything says the I'm sorry says the says that the shakai is who says I'm I'm about to do something now but I'm going to hold off a little bit right restriction I'm going to hold off a little bit die I'm going to be to I'm going to suspend so says Abu that being that and if there's a if there's someone that's not ready to be judged he doesn't get judged until ends up being his judgment so that is his judgment is exercising he's showing the shak and that's why on we mention Right? There's some shakai that's why he says to Abu Ram we say the same shak if you take a look in the pish of the he was Rash's rabbi the parish of the rash he says the same thing it's based on this idea so saw in these words that shakai is epism ofash Somewhere on rash you see the shame more than you would see it on another day of the year and the question is where do you see it? So they're both says that is when something and that's this of the shakan I think it's maybe even and that is because what did say is the shame of shakai shakai it's that shows that I am the MEL AND YOUR FAITH HAS nothing to do with every single thing that happens to us is all a miracle and that is really a kdesh it's a miracle it's but at the same time it is a miracle it is a miracle and how do those miracles take place they take place with the shame of shakai if that's the case on rash it's so pit how manifest is the shame shaka This is a a whole Russ of the fact that being judged and they're being judged based on based on their mitzvah that is the greatest expression of the Shak that's and the issu right what do we What's the is that right now we understand there's a world of tea there's a world of mikra there's a world of even when they get judged onel that being judged it's just their tea is being set into motion but doesn't mean they're they're being judged in a hands-on way. That's because that's because then that that's because we still have in the world and it's for that reason it's only us. It's only that have this special connection. Get rid of no more. You know what's going to happen then? There's going to be a tick. You know what the tick is going to be? That's the whole point. The whole point is that when it's going to be you're not going to even have that talks about you're not even going to have that it's going to be gone. So then it's going to be a the whole world is going to come through to Malak. Yeah. The world might still look like it's no one's saying the sea is going to be split every day. But what is going to happen is the entire world's going to operate through the shame shakan explains it in the shakan explains it in par you know just to end with one heres just to end with one heres and that is you know there's a goes to the top of Yeshua said no. When the gul is going to come is it going to come in tish or is it going to come in Nissan? One thing it's mour is a is of and is of the both was is it or is it the fact that it's of right that's so that's right that's something that we know we know that that's of of Yeshua We're the judges and sets the year and the year is set not based on the it's not based on the and it's not based on what your research is going to tell you and what the nextgen analytics tell you. It's based on it's based on what dictates because every single thing that we do is and if that's the case really and are both of you know we mentioned that Ramban talks about this in so many places one of the places the Ramban talks about is in histo right the Ramban wrote a famous purish on and he wrote to his purish on and in that he talks about this in right everywhere the Ramban talks he talks about this in this is do of right I think it's posit going out on a limb here that when the writes in his that you should learn right it's the foundation of our I think on top of all the he probably meant this Raman this is the foundation of our I mean without this we don't we missed the boat completely but here's the point says over there that and then he says and right all The whole between the two miracles are one is and the other one is there is no other because at the end of the day they're all but here's the point is of and is of one is of the other one is of that's the whole it's literally the last name. But as it relates to miracles, they're both incredible miracles. They both defy tea. I mean, that's what a miracle is. If it defies, it's a miracle. And they're both equally they're both equally defying miracles. [snorts] You know, ma if the rein Yeshua has something to do with, you know, the raid that we've spoken at over the years, whether the gulas is going to happen or the gulas is going to happen maybe holds. this man of and maybe Yeshua holds it this man of you know I was even thinking says what happened and stopped what do all those things have in common they're all right refers to as so these are all the fact that a woman had a baby was uh at the end of the day I mean obviously it's it's in incredibly amazing but it's and even the fact that the Jews stopped working in it's the one element of that didn't involve ines all the great things that happened all the WHAT HAPPENED ALL THE FLIES THE 10 that all happened is the Nissan is the both right we know. So we know there's a man of it could be it's just to end with one last and that is we said this over many many years ago the says in other places as well right from the times of Ezra further we never find that If you go through the sugi over there, what emerges is there's one other they were never they were never there were two months that they never added a they were never and they were never said that why is it these two months that they were never he said because they're both of understood that when you're coming close, your M is at the precipice. You're at the doorstep of we're not going to add another day of we're not going to push it off one day. You're at the doorstep of Nissan. We're not pushing it off one day. This is not something that we're going to go ahead and do. These are the two manim of and it's for that reason never wanted to push off this man of even one day. We're coming to it as of this man of we should be we should be we should all come to our rec a rec realization that all these things that we want everything it is there's no such thing and the the doctors told me this or the statistics are telling me that or I can't get out of my own way doesn't work that way that it works that's a real thing it's a real avoid and that also gets said on rash that's also all those statistics also get dictated on rash but as it relates to us has no to us [snorts] I don't know my heres we started off what in the world does have to do with we just to me what does it not have to do I think this Ramadan is more appropriate in a way for sure the ending to it is but either way the shows that express it's fire it's the whole foundation regardless we should be to the Amen
