Learn How to Transform a Curse into a Blessing with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] everybody welcome welcome home to torah a warm a very warm welcome and hashem we have a nice crowd here and we have broke hashem a nice crowd on skype and we are we're going to talk about something absolutely unbelievable and of course as always fundamental i want you guys to learn hebrew and the way you're going to do it is if you take if the ones on watching me now on camera you go to the website which is a there's a link below and you can find these hebrew sheets on the website you just have to check out the actual parsha you go to the departure and you choose the week and you'll find the hebrew sheets and i want you to keep your finger always a finger on the parsha in the clear car so we use the clear car to go through this discussion and it's absolutely unbelievable so here we go in chapter 23 you have to keep in mind what it is we're talking about see even though we're in chapter 23 verse 6 think about verse 4 second moses is talking and he's telling us these non-jews the ammonites and the moabites the men may not enter the congregation you're not allowed to marry them now what was one of the problems the fact is they didn't greet you they didn't come out to greet us with bread and water while we were on the road when we were leaving egypt and they also hired bilum right they hired billam balak hired bilim to do what to curse you this is like an introduction to introduction to our verse keeping all this in mind as soon as you get to our verse it says but hashem your god refused to listen to bilaam what do you mean he wanted to curse us god caused what he god refused to listen to billam and hashem your god did what he reversed the curse to a blessing for you and then he says why why did god reverse the curse to a blessing because he loves you you hear this god loves you now look in the hebrew in the hebrew it says like this god did not come to listen to him yes he wouldn't listen to bill but what did he do think about this word the afoch if anybody ever ordered a coffee in in israel you know that you order cafe why because they boil the milk okay god reversed for you now i would like to understand that word the afore is it reverse as here it says transformed there's other words we could use and turned god turned the the curse into a blessing we don't really know yet but that's what we're going to talk about this metaphysical concept that akaddish remember we're created in his image we're created in god's image there's something godly about us if he could do it perhaps he'd let us on the secret maybe just let the jews know i don't know but it's right in our torah god did this because he loved us he loves you so he transformed or turned i also want you to keep in mind it says the blessing the curse into a blessing it's singular okay it's singular okay so what does this word mean okay and also keep in mind that it's singular why is it singular we're gonna go through the parsha right balak billah mentioned a whole bunch of blessings so why is it the verse says that god transformed the curse into a blessing are we talking about many we talk about one i want you guys to think about that and let's begin with the cleo car he starts by saying like this he's he uses our verse we're halfway down the page the arthur god transformed this curse into a blessing the language itself requires a certain amount of investigation explanation put your finger on the place i mean is this what's happening here how can you explain or how is it even possible that the curse itself is going to become a blessing is there such a concept in this world is it possible that a curse itself is actually a blessing i'm not asking you for the answer i understand this is something to think about the mcclalos so even though right the the barakah is coming in place of the curse for some reason even though the blessing is going to come in place of the curse barack obama the variable the actual blessings themselves were should i say similar to what billam actually wanted to curse us with so we will actually read through the blessings and understand what his deep demented anti-semitic desire really was but you have to understand a curse is not in itself a blessing so what's going on here what is god doing that he's reversing transforming what's going on here you know what a different another difficulty the clear card loves to pose all these questions ahead of time and then he answers them all up so bear with us what was also difficult according to what ghazal said now in the english source sheets you can see this on page one number four right the talmud in sanhedrin begins by telling you exactly what i just said that rabbi yochanan says from the blessings of that wicked person otto rasha that bilum you can ascertain what was actually in his heart what was bilum thinking when god went ahead and reversed it or transformed his curse into a blessing god transforms transform the curses that he planned into blessings so we're only going to go through like two the truth is there's a whole series but how goodly are your tents oh jacob what did he want to do he wanted to basically destroy our ability to pray at the synagogues and to study in the study halls by basically saying they shouldn't have you know it's not good the jews shouldn't have these things so he said god transformed it and actually said wow how great are your tents oh jacob why are tents similar or hinted to as the um shall we say the um the study halls and places of prayer so if you go on page four in genesis uh 25 27 right we understand where it says the yaakov ishtam yoshev o halim yaakov was a what's an ishtam and ishtang is an innocent person a very pure very pure person and who's who's who dwells in tents yaakov who's an innocent or let's say pure person dwells in the tents look at rashi right there that means dwelling in the tent of shame and the tent of a there which really means the yeshiva the yeshiva that's the study hall when you go and sit next to uh do shimush with sadiq and godolin with people who are greater than you you learn a lot you learn a lot more than sitting in a classroom you see how they make brachot how they treat their wives how they wash their hands for bread that is greater than learning to be around great people but anyway so we see why yaakov was hanging out in the study halls so oh hell represents that so bilaam says in hebrew right he says in hebrew yaakov how great are those tenths of jacob and then he continues meaning bilaam he also wanted to curse the jewish people by saying that the divine presence the shechina should not dwell among among them so what did god do god made it so that bilaam couldn't curse them it came out as a bracha came out as a blessing when he says these words israel oh you're dwelling the dwellings of israel your dwellings of israel it goes on and on i don't want to go through all that but i do have three dots four or five dots uh two lines down from there where rebbi abba barca hana says in others we're skipping through the whole part of the gemara you can look it up yourself what no you can look it up yourself this is the last part of that sugiya part of that um thought ruby abba barkana says all of the blessings ultimately reverted to be fulfilled as a curse imagine that we make a big deal out of this bilam wants to curse the jewish people god transforms them all into blessings did he transform them all or that i said it's singular but let's say temporarily they were somehow turned into blessings at least when he said them the the gemara goes on and says all the blessings ultim ultimately reverted to be fulfilled as the curse that he originally intended as all of those circumstances befell the jewish people because everything that he originally attended actually did take place so if we go through that gamora and see everything he intended they actually happened which means they did take place so they weren't transformed except for one now we're getting somewhere there was actually one of those series that was totally transformed again how can it be totally transformed how can a bro how can a curse become a blessing and we're going to see on a metaphysical level how it's possible so which was the one that was um never reverted back and that is the destruction of the synagogues and study halls and how do we know because the verse the very verse that we're dealing with says that god folk he transformed singular right a curse in the singular not curses in plural so from the gemara we have a very superficial understanding first of all it's talking about synagogues and study halls it's also talking about all of those different things that bilum wanted to curse the jewish people with eventually came to be except for this one okay now keeping that in mind i want to also mention the clear car we'll see rashi rashi does not say like the gemara the gamora says this is talking about study hall right and synagogues i want you to go to number two on the english sheet it's numbers chapter 24 verse 5. in that verse itself how goodly are your 10 so jacob your dwelling places of israel even though we just read the gemara and the gomorrah seems to imply that we're talking about study halls and synagogues look at rashi first of all he mentions about your tents the idea that the openings of the tents were not facing each other which meant there was modesty very nice he saw the entrances were not facing each other rashi says what does it mean dwelling places ankylos talks about your encampments it's pretty much the same idea but here another explanation and that's where we're going to go off the deep end i ask you do you want to take the red pill or the blue pill okay here we go and how godly how goodly are your tents what does rashi say how goodly are the tenth of shiloh which means the mishkan correct the tenth that was in shiloh is the mishkan and the eternal temple that's talking about the temple in in jerusalem on the temple mount that's where the the shrine dwelt both where where did the shrine dwell in the mishkan and in the temple and what were they there for the offerings we brought up there in order to atone for us what does it mean you're dwelling places the dwelling places are even when they are desolate meaning even when temple number one and temple number two are destroyed which is going to be very hard to grasp but this is what rashi's saying because he's talking about the blessing itself and we know the blessings themselves were transferred to brachas and the rash he's actually saying the broth is actually a bracha even when you don't have a temple okay how does he say that even when they're desolate for they are held as a pledge what's a pledge collateral i want to borrow money from you and uh i have to give you my watch my rolex watch i borrow a hundred thousand dollars my rolex is worth a hundred thousand dollars when i pay it back you give me back my money i mean give me back my watch so you have something of mine and that's actually going to save my soul isn't it because the way the mafia works right when you borrow a hundred thousand dollars you don't pay it back so then you're how is it how is it rabbi it's you know what it'd be you're you're kicked under the bus so to speak right if you're lucky but it's not personal no of course it's only business it's only business so so basically that collateral is in exchange for your life to a certain extent here listen to what she says so they are held in as a pledge and just keep in mind that the word mishkan which means tabernacle and the shrina where the shrine dwells is basically we're talking about the temple it's also mishkan so what are they they're a mishkan a mishkone is collateral in fact when you take the best loan you could ever take anywhere besides a gamak free loan is a meshantha a mishkantha is where you want to buy a house and you basically the house is the collateral the that's why it's the best loan long-term low rates but guess what they have they have your house as collateral that's why it's called a mishkanta okay so rashi goes on for they are held as a pledge mishkon for you and their desolate state atones for your soul the very fact that they are destroyed tones for you hello do you get what's going on here i mean i was bombarded by christians my whole life telling me without a temple you get no atonement oh my god so where am i supposed to go and then they try to you know hand me off with the fake stuff but listen to what rashi is saying that the destruction of the temple you will still find your atonement whoa this is very important for me as a jew right how did he spend it i'm sorry i skipped something so he brings two verses actually it's one verse it's lamentations 4 11 and i believe you can find that on page four he breaks it into two pieces so in lamentations which is echa the lord has spent his fury and he poured out his fierce anger and he's kindled a fire in zion the yachts at h bizion which has consumed her foundations okay we all know lamentations is written about the impending doom of jerusalem okay so this is how rashi ends this idea and we'll have to pick the pick up now where the clear car left off back into the clear car where he just quoted the gemara in sanhedrin how does the gomorrah conclude over there that all of those curses reverted back meaning those blessings which were intended for curses reverted back to the curse as they originally meant to be except for that which had to do with the big knesset which is a shul a synagogue and the study halls as we know the verse says god transformed for you because he loves you don't forget for you this klola this curse into a bracha and he points out the very fact that it says cla it's a curse into a blessing it's not plural shouldn't it have said god's going to transfer god transformed all these blessings into curses into blessings notes one it doesn't say in plural which infers only one of them was transferred into abraham transformed into abraham and another question we should ask is manishtana brachazuma why is that meaning the bracha of numbers 24 5 because that's the one dealing with the better knessiot and madrasso why was that the one that was transformed and none of the others permanently and the last question is my marshmallow mushroom how do you understand from the actual language itself that we're specifically talking about bate midrashos and baate knessiot that was transformed into abraham how do you excuse me how do you know from the verse itself that that's the one bracha that was totally transformed and the others were not so far all we did was ask the important questions and now we're going to get into the answers so i hope it's clear you guys are going to have to review because we're short on time if you don't know if you're not clear about the questions go back and listen to the first whatever 15 20 minutes half hour however long it was here we go beer lookout zezu to clarify all of this we're going to say the following first of all billam was a wizard a wizard not in a genius sense but in a harry potter sense okay he was a kaisem hoyong he looked into the stars of the jewish people like he went to the astrologers but he himself was a wizard and therefore he looked into the stars of the jewish people mira alcohol devarim and he sought to curse them based on what he saw in the stars and for some reason that was one of the curses they won't have shules and they shouldn't have bacon essiot and the rest of the you know that their king shouldn't be continuation and they shouldn't have sons of kings and on and on and on all the horrible things that he had in mind you go through the gemara on your own in sanhedrin 105. we're not going to deal with it right now but here he goes the everybody knows this is a well-known fact karesh baraku so this was not well known to me but now it will be known if i can explain it correctly does not mishade could mean to interfere or violate truth be told it basically means that there is a natural order of things and he's miso date he's overturning the natural order god will not do that he created the world he created nature malachim and what not and akaddish barack who will not m he will not interrupt interfere overturn the the natural order israel because we deserve something just because we deserve it god will try to allow nature to run its course and not interfere except where kim bamakum shane shum derek laha say pena marachalatova except when there's no other choice basically he knows that the outcome has to be good for the jews okay so in the meantime if there's no other way to circumvent and get around the natural order to make things good so that's when he will interfere but but where there is a place and this is going to be the fact here when there is a way for him to allow natural order to run its course and still have a positive outcome he won't interrupt again and to resolve by any other way as i am that hashem will not interfere okay why could the the end outcome is always going to be good but and then he won't interfere durgma now there's no now we're going to go into examples so in order to solidify this idea we're going to go into some other verses apparently there is a star whatever that means something in the constellation some heavenly source whose name is evil and it rises israel and sometimes it comes up to harm us and that's reflected by the color of the star which it's not a start let's take the planet mars mars is in hebrew it's medium it is red it's a red planet and so here's an example in exodus chapter 10 verse 10. you'll find this on the english sheet i believe i believe on page two number seven it says see so he pharaoh said to them you know what i'm going to let you guys go so may the lord be with you just as i will let you and your your young children out see that evil is before your faces in hebrew we don't understand it rashi tells us what does it mean and i under underlined in rashi there's a star named ra meaning evil pharaoh said to them to whom moshe with my astrology i see that a star is ascending towards you in the desert in other words why was pharaoh so willing to let the jews go to the desert yeah go go because he saw their demise they're going to die in the desert he saw this through the astrology so go wherever you want to go and that is a sign of blood and slaughter and guess what when the israelites sinned with the golden calf what did god say i'm going to wipe them all out right here and now and what did moses respond no that's don't do that because then the egyptians will say everything you did was for ra evil death let's continue when rashi when the israelites sinned with the calf the golden calf the holy one blessed be sought to kill them and what did moses say in his prayer why would he he said what if the egyptians are going to say with he took them out and this is what pharaoh said to them remember he said see that ra is evil is opposite your faces he was implying that their blood would be shed in the desert immediately what did god do so if you go to exodus 32 14 this is when moses prays on our behalf okay and the lord repented of the ra meaning the sign of the star and what did he do this is the most important part he turned the bloodshed which is symbolized by the star into the blood of circumcision for joshua will in fact circumcise them think about it when did that circumcision happen not until they entered the land the very day we entered the land of israel joshua circumcised or we had all of us circumcised in one day and that's the meaning if you go to joshua chapter five verse nine this is still we were reading rashi the day this day i rolled away the reproach of the egyptians from you for they were saying we see blood over you in the desert you have to understand how it's transferred now i also want you to go to rashi on it's number eight on the source sheet page three um this is rashi on joshua chapter five verse nine where the verse comes up about the mass circumcision he says rashi says i removed the reproach of the egyptians who had said seed that ra is before your faces there's a star named ra which is symbol of blood we see it over you in the desert and that's what moses said in the desert again this is very similar to what everything we just said i'm not going to go through it again but so what happens what happens there is something in the stars called evil astrologers can tap into this i don't know what they call black magic that's what they call it and you know what hashem can turn it around that same blood that seemed to have had to have happened and maybe it would have happened if moses didn't pray in other words we sinned with the golden calf we would have been wiped out in the desert moses prays and turns everything around i want you to know i gave a share on the power of prayer and how you can turn everything around using the hebrew alphabet if you really understand the essence of the words of what you're praying for and you understand what god he created the language you could and i'm going to use the word manipulate because that could be a negative but i'll use it anyway in the positive you can manipulate the alphabet you can change reality using what we call latino kodish the holy tongue so i'm going to put in the description below a link to the power of prayer that describes how uh yitzhak and rifka were praying it says that that hashem listened to yitzhak and he didn't listen to rifka per se and they had a child think about that a second how was he able to do it but rifka wasn't so that's the power of prayer the secret of that is in a link in the description below so let's go back into the clear car all we read so far in that second paragraph was this statement that the there's a an example of a a planet called ra and it would come out to meet the jewish people and that would reflect blood and what does it say god was able to transform because it's already natural it's like according to the natural things he was able to say okay we're not going to wipe out the jewish people with blood but we're going to create this i'm going to call it a brit kadasha a new covenant coming into the land of israel we entered a new covenant what's a new covenant it means the same torah but a deeper sense of responsibility we entered the land of israel and we got we got circumcised okay as hazal say now there's a gomorrah in shabbos i also have this if you want to look at it in depth it's a number four no it's um maybe i didn't oh yeah it's number 10 on the english source sheet i'm not going to go through the whole thing but basically at the bottom of the bottom line you know what i'll read just what i underlined the beginning and the end so ruby kanina said to his students who all heard this go and tell the sons of uh levi rebekah sure been lazy it's not the constellation of the day of the week that determines a person's nature in other words when it comes to jews i want to tell you the non-jews have a harder time and we can discuss that another time so basically whatever happens in the constellation of the day determines a person's nature and it's not sorry it's not the constellation that determines the nature it's the constellation of the hour that determines his nature that's the first statement skip all the way down i have here seven different planets and how they affect someone who's born under those planets but we're going to go to to the last thing about mars one who was born under the influence of mars which we said is red will be one who is basically like a murderer one who spills blood ravashi said he will need he will either be a blood letter what does that mean back in the day when you go to the barber shop or you go to the doctor they would attach leeches to your skin in order to draw blood which would cause your bone marrow to produce clean or healthier new blood which hopefully would get rid of any infection we're a thief or a slaughterer or a circumciser sorry so basically what is he saying that you're not stuck you don't have to be a murderer you love blood you're born under mars all of a sudden you have this unbelievable i don't know if you're angry or not but you you enjoy seeing blood guess what you could either be like a doctor or a thief or an animal slaughterer a chochet or a moell a circumciser rob has said you know what i was born under the influence of mars and i don't do any of those but abaya actually said you know what my master you he sits in judgment and he punishes and kills as a judge so if you have what are we trying to say here that you also have this power to transform what may seem to be as eric pointed out may seem to be a curse you can use all the talents that god gave you and you can use it for positive creative things you're not stuck now i mentioned earlier that there's a difference between a jew and a non-jew the truth is it's just easier right if you become a righteous gentile and attach yourself to the jewish people you can also have an easier time okay that we'll have to talk about again another another time but that's the last thing we left off that basically the gamer over there says hi man right if the person was born under mars let him go and be a slaughterer a a a butcher can move or lamala parsha's bow back to our gamora we mentioned over here those very curses that the gamora lists i.e the blessings and what bilum originally had in mind such as the shrine shouldn't dwell with israel and that their kingship shouldn't continue on and they shouldn't have olives and grapevines this is all part of bilum's original thoughts and they all turned into blessings all of them there's no way to explain them in a positive way kedella kaya mishpat maracha in order to fulfill in a natural way justice where israel lawyers if any one of them would come up in reality i just turned the page in the hebrew but those online have one page basically right israel would there's no way to change it where israel wouldn't get damaged in them therefore therefore god would go out of his way to change or overturn or uh as we said here he would um overturn the natural order because he always wants the outcome to be good for us that he would overturn them entirely therefore every one of those blessings that bilaam blessed us with would actually be reversed and turned into what back into into curses if and when the jews sinned now we're not talking about individuals don't matter as a collective okay and there wouldn't be enough merit to stand on with any kind of power against nature nature said its course hashem said its course a vow but when it came to that one curse that became a bracha that there won't be baate knessiot on study halls for some reason this is the premise god did not feel that it was necessary to overturn all of nature for this why because by the destruction of the temples now we're going according to rashi and that's how i want to explain it although we will explain also because i have some very uh determined students devorah and yochanan who really wanted to know about the bate canesio and study halls and i will spend some time on that but in the meantime we're going with rashi who says it is the temples how is it that the destruction of the temple is to our benefit how is that abraham it's mind boggling so wait till you hear what he says god did not need to turn and interfere interfere in the natural course of events because there would still be a way to fulfill let's say the natural order of things and justice and there still would not be these these batte canes meaning what he originally wanted not having shulls in this case we're talking about not having the temples actually it would be for our benefit how could it possibly be for our benefit not to have a temple we're praying all the time we want the temple back and yet this is the concept rashi mentions in numbers 24 5 go to we have to find it i hope i put it here right i think we already went through that verse because number two right number two we already mentioned how rashi explains over there it's talking about the mishkan because the word mishkan no tacha israel your dwellings o israel i want you to know the jewish people god dwells within each and every one of us that's why when somebody says to you hey there's the son of god over there we all know we are the children of god god loves us right what did the verse say because he loves you he's overturning this because he loves you right god has this unique and special relationship with you so it says that these should i call them the temples the the the tabernacle on the temples they are the collateral for our sin that's what it means mishkan and mishkon that the building made of wood and stone served as collateral for us when we sin we already saw echa being lamentations chapter 4 11. he mentions right that this anger was going to come out and destroy zion go out fire against zion zevaday told the godola how do we swallow that that this is actually for our benefit yeah why shiyakallah hashem hamasim that god destroyed what he destroyed a building a physical building made of wood and stone and what happened to us [Music] we escaped we were saved you want to be saved this is the way kimi shieshlo mishkon liton liten because someone who has the collateral right someone who has for himself the mishkan he's giving it he's giving it in place of his debt ain't no government you're not going to take his life like i said i gave my watch as collateral for the hundred thousand dollar loan but hashem my watch is worth 999 000 whatever it is it's just close enough to my debt that he'll let me live right and that's what it means when we go back to the original statement that god transformed for you the curse to a blessing ottoman it was the actual um terminology used in the in the curse what was the actual terminology used in the curse there shouldn't be for them to draw that they shouldn't have these these remember what what is a a a a synagogue that is why we have all the laws of how to behave in a synagogue right because it is a miniature temple even those that are far from judaism call it a temple right it's still a temple it's it's okay it's what we have left and guess what that itself was turned into a bracha we asked how can it be that a curse becomes a bracha what's the mechanism here ki desha lembate yin natsu nafashos is it really possible right that through them not having the shules their their souls will be saved hainu meaning like this what bilum said oh how goodly are their tents oh and your dwelling place is israel by the way i just want to mention that when you give broncos you give broccolis to who to tsa you always start with the goddess first but when you have intent to curse then you go up the ladder and you start with the lowest guess what this verse actually shows us through his language because he blesses yaakov first and then israel second if you want to bless somebody you bless the godo the greater one first yaakov represents the benoni and israel represents the siddiqui just to get that out of the way just wanted to mention that meaning to say that it's for your good it's for your very own good and benefit that israel is your what's the word is your collateral it's serving as collateral for you and you will be saved this is the very reason all the other blessings reverted back to colossal happened to us in a negative way but this remained as is yes the base of mikdash the right was destroyed and yet it's still a bracha not a klalla charai niskaima mishpat maraka below that in the end god was able to let it remain and in the end it was still to our benefit and he didn't have to get involved alkene ain't shaykh loma shataks in other words the jewish people still they weren't meriting that the temple should remain and yet even when they were destroyed it was for our benefit i just want to tell you that in terms of moses moses wanted to come to the land of israel and yes the reason given seemingly is because he hit the rock instead of speaking to the rock guess what else happened already when when he was in egypt god said to them i'm going to show you what i'm going to do to pharaoh rashid there on that verse says it's back in early shemos i'm going to show you what i'm going to do to pharaoh but you're not going to go into the land of israel to see what i'm going to do to the seven canaanite nations it was already decreed moses would not go into land of israel so later on when he hits the rock instead of speaking it speaking to it we're all befuddled what's going on here the truth is he wasn't going in because if he went in he would have built the base of mikdash that could never have been destroyed and therefore we would have been destroyed instead of it that's one thing king david i think also the same thing yes he had blood on his hands oh so he couldn't build the base in mcdosh you know what the gamora actually tells us he was doing the decode for women in uh who needed to go to the mick for that you know that night or that week okay so he was doing uh not going to go into all halachas now but basically his blood that was on his hand was the blood of shalom bias was the blood of examining i'm not going to go into details like i said examining things to enable women to become tahor or not tahoe or whether they go to the mikvah to be with their husbands that night so that's a whole other story but anyway this is like an amazing idea and i wanted to share a few other ideas in the gemara so there's a page here for you guys that have very small print on both sides there's cuff pave and cuff pay zion i haven't really decided which ones i'm going to read so i'm not going to i'm probably going to skim through it there is an idea in the sugiya right before this idea that hashem placed something in the mouth of bilum so that he couldn't curse us so the gamora over there by the way if you want to see it it is on the gemura side not the english side that the pussac says in deuteron in numbers 23 5 that god placed davar something in the mouth of billam and then villain was not able to uh to curse right so basically what does the word davar represent he puts something so much locust rebbe eliezer says it was a malach which means an angel and rabbi yonatan says it was a haka a fish hook some kind of a hook what's the hook it basically pushes pulls you so you can't do what you want you force the angel the villain was forced to say whatever god wanted him to say the angel would be basically the same idea interestingly enough there is an opinion that explains that if you take the gamachu of utk valve k together that equals 91 and so too the name of malach is also exactly 91. so i just want you know we create angels guys are you listening everyone's looking up at the air conditioning so basically it's very interesting that when we use god's name because we have both in mind we have in mind utk and we actually pronounce that the together the gematria of both those names is malach is angel we create with our speech just like hashem created the world and creates all of reality with his speech okay so what i think we'll do at this point we'll just like you know sum it up to a certain extent and i want to really pin it on this one verse remember the word key was because so all of this transformation or transforming or reversing or overturning a curse to a blessing specifically this one the verse says because god loves you and just keep in mind yes he loves us we are not born to suffer i know many non-jews who tell me that's how their life is i get it the jews should understand and those who attach themselves to the jewish nation you don't have to suffer god created us for pleasure and we could tap into that spiritual pleasure okay it's spiritual pleasure it's not about this world but i want to mention in proverbs 3 12 just to finish this off right for the lord chaston's the one he loves as the father placates a son key again because right because god chastises chastises the one he loves so too back in our verse it was because god loves you okay keep that in mind so this rather shame we're approaching rosh hashanah i wish everybody i really tremendous a tremendous um uh uplifting and inspiring festival i want to mention whoever lasted through all this that we give out charity to um people in need um and so we have a link below
