music The Power of aigun as we all know
it's incredible power it is the power to
spiritually uplift us and is that power
to put us in depression and pain it can
take us to all type of directions I
wanted to introspect a little bit into
this incredible spiritual power that
we're all so familiar with just by the
feelings not by the words that lies
behind it something that's found very
often in the Torah don't think that it's
only
some something that just came around by
the
as we all know in
our saying the as the brings there 10 in
the in the T there's by the
know by there's saying two times Yeshua
has a you have who brings two sh one of
them being by masiah Shir is something
that is found very often in the tah an
incredible powerful type of feeling
there's the shear of theim that even
when they had their
it says in the that people would be when
they heard the power of the and their
powerful their powerful song the people
would bring back people from
CH writes in the beginning of it's
called the of the to be able to go ahead
and sing those they had seven notes just
as we have seven notes we have seven
keys on a piano we all know that there's
seven different notes and that's the
seven notes that they had in the M by
the M by the musical musicians over
there in the mikdash but you should know
that there is going to be a number eight
because we all know seven has everything
to do with the power of six directions
in this world and seven is connect which
is connects all those six desparate
pieces to become one that's the power of
seven that's why have seven days of
creation seven days with Shabbat that's
why there's a number of sevens that
exist in
our uh in our language such as obviously
the seven days of in the seven days of p
and the seven days of and the
Seven the list goes on there were
seven in the we have seven and we have
the which was seven time seven seven
times they walked around seven
continents we all know that the number
seven is found very often and has
everything to do with but in the future
we're going to add a number eight number
eight is going to be that eighth note on
the piano that eighth key that is added
in because that
mean anytime you do something a little
bit above the it's always represented by
the number of eight of course the eight
days of Kana and of course the Eighth
Day of was just us and of course the eth
day where you do
bre and we all know that's the power of
seven that's why in
it's there's the Z which is seven and
Alf which is one because it goes One
Step Above It goes a little bit over and
Beyond and that's the idea of the number
eight which will
happen which is the day of on the 50th
day 7 time seven and then number 50 is
number eight the eth day that goes over
and
Beyond we see the power of Nan the power
of is incredible and it's all over the
place the the Angels the Angelic figures
they
sing on a concept basis they're singing
says that you can hear the power of
their wings they're singing the Praises
of and and and we all know of course of
perir the Shir that was the song of all
of creation when all the creation sings
the Praises
ofes when the sun was quiet it stopped
moving in the time of Yeshua because the
is not something like us that we just
develop a song and we get inspired by it
it was their being it was their m their
Essence to sing its whole function works
I'll singing singing the Praises of and
making that connection of course we all
know that always was interested
in the one who knew the great power of
song and lastly we know there's an idea
of T which is
the and the we have four aspects to the
Tor and when the highest of all the
aspects above the letters and even above
the crowns and the and the punctu
is the the the song of the of the the
canellation the canellation tunes those
are the ones that we sing those are the
ones that bring a spirit to the letters
those are the ones that bring Spirit to
the words they have an incredible power
and that's why they're not written in
the Torah someone one time came to and
he wanted to make a plastic B with a
computer print out based exactly
according to the SE Tor put on top of
the page of the SE Torah and that way
the B wouldn't have to prepare because
on this seethrough plastic you would be
able to have the cancellations exactly
as it's written according to the words
it won't be written in the Torah but
it'll be on top and said that's very
problematic you're not supposed to have
them there it's not meant to be there
and therefore it's not there of course
we're familiar with this incredible idea
that we call a nigan that we call a song
that we call music so great is this
power says
the these words
there's nothing in this world that is
more subtle more refined more esoteric
more spiritual than music of course it's
referring after tah there's nothing that
you will find in the physical world
because tah is not physical but in the
physical world the most spiritually
connected thing you can get to of course
is music we all know that when a person
has a has a song a good song he wants to
dance where is that dance come from it's
is coming to come out of his body it's
coming to have a spiritual revelation it
wants to go and reconnect to its creator
and therefore suddenly you find your
body moving it's such a funny thing to
see that suddenly a few rings and a few
this and a few Tunes over here and
suddenly your body starts to a wringle
to the right to the left to the a leg up
a leg down all of a sudden you find
yourself having a tremendous connection
and it comes from this incredible
spiritual phenomenon that we call music
the Le in M right that's why an
incredible thing that a you can't talk
to him from here till tomorrow he won't
send a word but suddenly you play manig
and falls asleep he falls asleep because
it's it's speaking to the to the spirit
to the to the ruak inside of the person
not necessarily the per se and therefore
it has an incredible feeling we all know
no one can describe it no one can
understand as shim Pinkus in says that
you know ahead and you go ahead and try
to describe someone how tasty you're
making a chocolate mousse seven layer
cake and start describing to him the
ingredients and everything that goes
into it and you go ahead and describe it
to one person and his mouth starts
watering and the other person doesn't
know what you're talking about because
he's never tasted before if a person's
familiar with it then it happens you
know when I was younger I used to eat
entiments and here is I try sometimes to
describe to a good Israeli what timens
is all about of course I don't touch it
anymore because of the thing but when
you go ahead and try to describe some
Israeli what's timens he just
goes you know it's like tasty so what n
n
you don't understand it's something
different you just can't relate to what
I'm describing sometimes you just have
to taste it to appeal to it to relate to
it to have some type of contact with it
that's what music is all about with
music only after you've experienced it
you can describe it you can understand
it you could feel it I could talk from
here till tomorrow but only those who
have come in connection with this
incredible power that we call music they
understand exactly what I'm talking
about and everyone who's listening to
this has don't think this is just um
idea that I'm taking some idea and
concept the used to say the the said
from his
reab he used to say these
words if you really understand the
reasons and
the to understand the behind the songs
of the and the of the T and the he said
the only way to do
it without the idea of knowing the power
of AIG without the power of
music through
it person can die from the beauty of the
music he means a deathly type of feeling
just a type where it's just kind of
defunction you it puts you down and you
listen with Incredible ease it just
relaxes you it could take you out of a
depressing mood or the other way around
and a person can be these are the words
of
the if a person would know the that liee
behind them and they say one of the
seven amongst the many that the V knew
but one of the Prime Seven that he knew
was the of music that's what it
says there are many listen to this one
he said there are
many that came from you know
where from hand me down also to the
power of music This Is The Sound of
Music the beauty of music and its power
at its best it's an incredible thing
that even the the
man still can relate to the fact that
music is
so is so powerful okay this is the idea
this is our to understanding this
incredible Revelation that we
know that we call uh music now how does
this music work how does it work well
the idea behind it more or less has to
do with two aspects as we're familiar
with there's two aspects to music
there's the aspect that's the the
the Rhythm what we call the melody that
has the up and down part to it that part
is a much more spiritual aspect for it
that's the one that touches your n
that's the one that as it says without G
it doesn't have any limitations it goes
over and Beyond and of course there's
the other aspect which is behind the
behind the armony and the lyrics is of
course the the words itself the lyrics
itself the words itself that is the part
that is much more cognitive much more
understood much more that we can connect
to so to speak to relate to it both are
needed both are intertwined you should
know there is a between the and Bre is
much more into the doesn't have to
have words just the actual power of
music itself that itself exemplifies it
puts itself in you it goes in your bones
and that could put you on a mile we all
know ah the beautiful idea of just a
straight Melody without having any words
but then there's the second aspect which
the breast of holds is the m function
and the main function of course is the
word
the words takes from the right brain the
part that's a little bit more abstract
the part that's more and it takes it to
becoming a little bit more into the to
the place where it connects actually to
the Mind where it physically is able to
be placed to be able to put there in a
place where I can actually connect to
the words to relate to the words to be
able to grow from the the speaks
to the L to the N but the word speaks to
the SE which is more bound it's more
limited it has much more of a left brain
approach much more cognitive it's
actually a little bit more limited but
it actually somewhere where you can grow
from and therefore really really the
importance are both together both
together have the power of being able to
grow to be able to gain and it depends
on the individual and each individual
takes it to his own perspective to his
own place some people will take from the
same niggan something depressing and'll
put them in tears I have to remember I
remember very clearly one time being on
a point of Transportation I was on an
airplane and someone next to me was
playing music of an old song that I
remember I won't call it a niggan I'll
call it an old song back from the'80s
which related me back to so many things
from so many years ago decades and
decades ago and suddenly just put me in
such a mood such a place whereas the
other person was smile he was laughing
for the and it didn't bother him
from the song didn't bother him at all
he was just connected what's the
difference it's the same song how do we
come from two different places the
answer is it puts you in a certain place
it places your mind
in a certain area and that place is
where I can connect to it it brings out
the best of your n or maybe sometimes
the worst it all depends on the person
himself
the
that's Solomon has a piece in puim about
this subject and he intertwines the
piece of music together with wine and
just like we know that wine is meant to
be a means to an end what we call a said
not an ending of itself as the M writes
in the he says don't make wine and end
to become a drunker on it should be a
way becoming tipsi and connecting to so
to the power of music that's the idea of
Music especially the music we might be
singing on PO him coming soon is the
idea of trying to connect ourselves
to to to to bring out a part of us that
sometimes is limited we just can't get
there but we need the melody the rhythm
of the up and the down and the seven
chords that kind of just gets to the
chords of our hearts those are the
places where sometimes we're able to
actually relate to get there instead of
just being systemat systematic and
robotic sometimes when you're learning
something completely cognitive suddenly
you
feel I so remember one time about a few
decades ago when I was a b in Yesa and I
remember I had a rebi who himself was a
b Chua and I remember we all singing the
song and everyone singing
and we're all singing like if I could
say it's just a system that people do it
you enjoy the song but it's something
that we're familiar a tune that we're
all used to and therefore we're all
singing it but I remember looking at him
and it so stands so boldly in my mind
almost 40 years ago 35 years ago or so
and I still see it in front of my face
him looking with his eyes closed
standing in the circle saying with the
words the focus of the words he took the
niggan but he placed his mind on the
words I'm anev to
it got deeper every time he said it and
even if we wanted to change the tune it
wasn't changed he kept going enough how
many times do you say the same song no
no you don't understand you know I can
come here and say the same sheer every
week and nobody will listen FS people
don't want to hear the same thing every
week every week they want to hear
something different they want to hear
something entertaining but what's with
the song I Al I'm jealous of singers
they know the same words to the same
songs same concert same place and they
do it and they're incredible and they
have stand audiences sold out sold out
sold out crowds what's theot same words
the answer is there's something about
that Negan that puts the words into the
kishkas it makes it part of you it makes
it part of your heart that makes it
connect to it in such a way it's the
power of the melody but don't leave the
melody just for the melody itself make
it do a change make it some type of
alteration it has to go ahead and affect
you in some type of way has to do
something where you can make some type
of metamorphosis I know not every song
is going to do that but you have to take
the song and connect it to take you to
somewhere else there are these great and
there that have these excellent songs
and we know there's some things called
as go ahead you
know they try to do a shab with all
these beautiful songs and everything if
it's just that for the song itself then
it could be we might be missing the
point we're there to take those Melodies
take those songs and do something with
it to put us in a different place to
make it a little bit more Everlasting a
little bit more connected what can I do
with this to take me Vitter to to to
connect me to a place that's even over
and
Beyond with this we can understand a
very interesting idea this idea is
brought to you in the many of them
brings
in you should
know he brings
the speaks about this idea and
Theus and others say an incredible
difference there is a big important
difference between when we talk about
what we call a sheer which is a song and
when we talk a zra isn't that the same
word Z is also a song they're both Zas
they're both songs what exactly is the
difference between the two so the
difference is a Shear a Shear is a
string that's attached to an animal it's
AAR Shabbat that brings about that you
hold a A or a donkey by by its neck with
a rope you wrap around its neck with a
rope and that's called a sheer that
holds on to it a she a song is what we
call instant inspiration you go ahead
and you listen you get an up from it you
enjoy it but you know what not always is
it something lasting it's quick to go in
and quick to go out not always you can
go ahead and take it you can continue
with it and you can go ahead and make
something of it and yes these are the
shim that we spoke about all the 10 shim
that we discussed before about
the happened after incredible Miracle a
point of inspiration a point of and
praise to thank you so much and you go
ahead and you sing the praises to and
it's great because we all know even when
someone goes through a hard time and he
says thank you to hem for pulling me out
of there a few days later a few weeks
later a few months later usually it's a
little bit died down the connection is
not necessarily there anymore it pulled
you for some of us it lasted and for the
most of us it didn't that's the K and
the beauty of year and it's important
but like I said it could be usually
temporary as opposed to a z a z a what
we call Z such as the Mis all the
M are called Mis we sing the on Shabbat
or of course we
say in daving that's a different type of
Level A Z is interesting because it's
what we call in English a cont a cont
something that the same word can be used
for One Direction and it's counter
opposite you follow if you have the
word when had had had relations with
it's known as meaning a complete
connection but you know that also is the
opposite we say in the word we say
because is the one who knows how to make
a difference
between who knows how to see a
difference between one and the other or
we know the idea of when a man is
mades the idea ofes is making it user to
the whole world when he's mades a woman
he makes her user to the whole entire
world hegdish when he makes something
sanctifies it he makes it user to the
whole entire world but K that's the
ultimate connection that's the ultimate
relationship that we have
your you sanctify her become connected
to her by answering her to the whole
entire world so we see the same world
can have opposite connotations the word
Z of course is the idea
of I go ahead and connect to hem at the
same time as Z also means Z it's one of
the is to prune a tree when you break
off a branch when you when you
disconnect it when you find some
disaffiliation between some one thing
and another you're Z you break so at the
same time we're talking about separating
breaking a tree breaking off his br Es
at the same time the is the one that
makes the connection to how does that
work the answer is the real way to make
the real proper connection through a z
to is close the ears this this
disconnect from the outside try to
slowly but surely focus on the words
focus on the melody on the nigan on the
zmer at the same time as you're focusing
on those words make that decision to
make a connection to go ahead and make a
connection and you'll suddenly find
yourself in a different world it's much
different than just an immediate Shear
of gratification it comes from a place
of actual connection which comes through
a little bit of work when you prune a
tree in your Z when you break off the
branches you're doing something that
looks bad but is very beneficial we all
know it helps the tree that's the whole
reason why you're doing it and that's
the idea when PUK zimra you're meant to
you're meant to go ahead and have a
little bit of concentration on the words
at the same time as you might be singing
it you're supposed to focus concentrate
put a little of what we call ruz put all
your energy into the words and try to
take it to another level take it a
little bit higher if you just hear it in
a Shear such as now or read it in a book
it won't be anywhere close to when you
hear it in a song so take the song and
use it for its incredible power as we
all
know the
is that the gar says that one should not
be
singing and it's a really big question
amongst theim if you should be singing
or not be singing Pim and we all know
we're just not keeping to that one so I
once heard bem that he used to say if a
person comes to sing and he adds some
suim that's what the gar meant when it
says it's User it's not allowed but if a
person wants to say a PK and he wants to
put a little bit of flavor into it he
wants to connect he wants to put himself
in another place ah over here it's a
different area over here you're raising
yourself you're raising the bar of
course that's M that's a Mitzvah that's
a good thing to do I know someone who
lived not far away from the stier gone
believe it or not he didn't leave very
far away from the stier many many
decades ago almost 50 years ago and he
said at 3:00 in the morning sometimes
you would go out in his merid and he
would hear the stier who was with his
tender outside of mid suddenly thinking
and he was mummified because the STP
never wasted one minute here he was with
his G outside but he stopped in the
middle because he suddenly felt he
suddenly felt a connection he suddenly
felt a a zet of a connection to a and he
took it to a different level he took it
to a place where he could do it with a
nigan not just St he took it to a place
where he can make that extra connection
to a that's what a zmer is all about and
that's the beauty of Zimmer the beauty
of Music That's what's so good about it
and that's why you're supposed to use it
that was the
at the time when the a was
going it would there to be as long as it
was utilized for the right way of course
everything can be used for the good and
for the bad you have to be extremely
careful not to falter it to make
sure that it doesn't go to the wrong
directions I want to tell you what the
says you know what the says he brings
from the mid that when was with it uses
three
words is relationship a connection is a
drive an instant and he had a he was
interested a he says those three words
are also used for Anan it could be used
for T that's what was using it for or it
can be used for kadus a person makes
that decision now he wants to take it
it's the of the way to do it having
a over there brings in the this idea
that it has this capability of going in
both directions so here we have it
what we've learned thus far today is the
idea that there's a shear and a Zer and
you have immediate gratification there's
much deeper when we talk about the
deeper gratification we said there's two
parts to it there's the and there's
the words both are important one is the
LA and one is a we need to have both of
them in order to inspire us and what is
a drive it takes whatever is within you
and it makes more of it and it
fluctuates it it makes extra drives it
out what's within you if a person is Mal
it'll for if a person is M Kusa it'll
pull it up for Kusa and if a person
needs help and wants to get there that's
the that's how we're supposed to use the
music that's the beauty of the and
that's where it's supposed to take us
there was once a rashash Shiva who had
to go to two weddings in the same night
familiar story but the problem is it was
quite a distant
away and he had to be mad kadan in two
places at the same time now of course
we're not talking about Eli so he had to
figure out how he was going to do that
so he did the first he did the first
kadan he was mad and then he left quite
quickly he jumped in a cab and there was
a person there if I could say a little
bit of a colored man and he told him
listen buddy you got to put the pedal to
the metal because I got to get to
another K within a half he didn't say he
said wedding within a half an hour and
the place is quite far it was an hour
drive so the guy said listen buddy I
know what you guys don't like there's
certain type of music that I like let me
turn on the radio let me turn on to the
rap music which I'm into let me listen
to that and I'll get you there in half
an hour boom bo b bo b boom b boom and
he got him there swerving around left
and right and he was able to get him
there in half an hour I don't know if he
had the head to be mad kadan after that
but anyways we see the power from the
same power of music can take it in both
directions it all depends if you're or
if you're Yu it all depends on what
direction you're going to take it and
this is the power that we were
discussing and what you're capable of
doing all end with a h point that comes
out of this a very interesting one that
comes out from this when that we'll
finish is in the that's
the someone he brings the and others
that were upset
with that were using tunes of the now
we're talking about a and they were
obviously discussing Arabic canellation
H right that type of music you know what
I'm talking about
and anyways and he was very upset these
people were very upset about it and he
goes at length to say and prove that a n
a tune is notum it has not become
something wrong with it it's the words
that make the difference because it
takes you to the direction but using an
Aon using a tune in the direction that
you use it is okay as long as it's use
it for a d That's the comes out and he
says okay the also brings this and
concurs he agrees with this idea that's
the IG mosha also in a similar note
listen to this he was asked that there
is a person who learned inas and he's
a and he goes ahead and he makes groups
of boys and
girls that sometimes are sitting side by
side Etc and he's doing a lot of
inspirational music I think we all are
familiar he was talking about he was
talking about obviously this dises but
over here with the real was happening at
the time and they were wondering if you
know with sadik not sadik I'm not I
don't know I'm not going to what L
status he was but they wanted to know is
there something wrong with listening to
this type of music or these types of
scenarios now he's not talking about
going to any mixed events that's not
discussing he's talking about post after
he's not alive anymore can you still go
and over there mosha basically says A
Min who writes a sa Torah a heretic who
writes sa Tor has to be burnt but if
someone who is in IM moreal incorrect or
he's not he's not pad or these types of
things he's not the best of best it does
not posle he says the sa does not make
it necessarily uh wrong and therefore he
held that it is beset to listen to the
music as long as you use the music for
its right
direction doesn't have any to it and
therefore he says it's okay to go ahead
and do it unless we're talking about
someone who had some type ofir to him
some type of heresy so then it would be
a problem but just if he's a little bit
of certain issues might be okay I'm
throwing this out parenthetically listen
to this people agree or don't agree it
doesn't matter you could shove if you
don't agree that what happened with Kim
Walder and people trashing all his books
I do think it connects to this chuva of
rosha Feinstein I wish rosha was alive
at the time to be able to Pas this but
to me this sounds exactly the same he
says if the guy was a Cofer a heretic s
some type ofur if he was a Christian or
an Arab if you will and he was writing
books trash them but if the person had a
bad history and he wasn't such a good
guy and yes he had issues with him so he
says the books are not the she is you
could use it as long to use it for
decent purposes rosha didn't seem to
have a problem with it take the chu
mosha cut and paste and you tell me what
you think if you agree or don't agree
I'm happy people give me feedback
because to me it sounds like there
wasn't necessarily a reason to trash all
his books per se even though I'm not
vouching for the person at all okay
don't worry that's not what I meant
anyways so that is the Chas that we see
over here that music can be good music
can go bad it's all a matter of
Direction it's there to bring out the
beauty of the person to bring the beauty
that lies within the person and that is
this
incredible present and one of the seven
which I mentioned that gave us that we
call the power of AIG and therefore if a
person goes to one of these Min if you
go to
or when you're singing or when you're
doing any of these types of things no
problem it's great we listen to music I
listen to music we all do it just try to
channel it to the direction it's
supposed to be channeled try to take it
to a place which is a good place try to
use this in incredibly powerful utensil
not to be a drunkard not to roll around
in in uh in in in in your in your if I
could say in you're being sick or
whatever to go ahead and take it to the
wrong place drink drink in order to
bring yourself to the right place drink
in order yourself to get there when you
listen to the music channel it bring out
the best that's within you show how much
you can be doic to and from there we
will sing the Praises that we say in on
a Conant basis with which rinkus
[Applause]
says he says a person should be the of
music of connection to
a it's important to sing We Sing h sing
M we're supposed to sing and to be with
because it gets us in a in a place of
and we're big Believers of going it and
using it but he says as of course we
say the Praises of are meant to be said
