last
year I looked it
up what we did
was we talked about the question if aam
was thrown into the
furnace there's a question but we know
that a miracle happened to Abraham the
says but they're picking their brother
says he was thrown into a
fire and um the question becomes how can
that written in the
how come the story being to not there's
a number of answers to it the answer
this we learned last year that we know
the gar says a miracle happened to him
but what the miracle is is not so simple
the bigger not
standing the ra says that the miracle
was a natural event it wasn't
Supernatural and that the reason it's
not written
the only record
towards the utterly Supernatural things
that happen within the framework because
nature is not written in
the that's what we did last year and
this year we're going to go backwards a
little bit I want to do the story of the
the na the generation of the great
dispersion
or the Tower of Babel as it's called
it's a story in
the it takes up a grand total of
nine and it's an unbelievable story it's
an amazing
story The more you learn the beginning
of the more you realize that every event
is not just a historic event it's
history the expression history repeats
itself is true the first record of each
historic event is in
thees and then it repeats itself for
example
I it says in
that the first war ever fought is the
war described in next week's
Pas and so on so the story of kanable
the story of every one of these stories
is Monumental because it's a precedent
it's not a good precedent but it's it's
a it's a presedent that enlightens The
Human Condition the frailties of The
Human Condition and also the good
possibilities of The Human Condition the
story bubble is is a strange story let's
start St from the
beginning Adam was a
bigad was made by God himself he was a
brilliant person the smartest man who
ever lived
phenomenal and
um during his lifetime during his
lifetime the world became Pagan became
idolatrous one day we'll we'll explore
that
story as well it's an issue onto
itself which is of course very very
strange how could the world have come in
especially under the watchful LI or the
presence of other
Med and explains that the the evolution
of paganism was gradual and that it
actually started
out philosophical the first pagans were
intellectuals and they UND stood that
hashem's relationship with the world is
through intermediate forms or forces or
energies we need to be honored and then
it devolved from there into raw useless
senseless then the Mel happens right you
know says there were other tragedies
before there were floods a third of the
world was wiped away there were plenty
of tragedies that led predated the flood
that the SL wash everything away start
over we started over with eight people
four
couples and his wife and three boys and
their
wives
and the flood was in the
year
1656 1656 was the
flood AB was born in
1948 that means 200 and you also born 48
I thought you were young than that
20 292 Years After the flood n was still
alive shame was still alive the whole
all of them all those ancient Jews those
individuals who were in The Ark and knew
what kind of Miracle it was that they
survived were still alive their children
and grandchildren were lost to the Races
they had become Pagan again they had
forgotten God to such an
that was credited with rediscovering God
one of
things 58 died so was alive third his
life and yet did not hear the name god
mentioned as a child that he did
discover God this was the extent or the
rate The Accelerated Pace at which this
this uned this this decline um
happened one of the events that happens
after the flood the Disturbed The Great
dispersion D the Tower of B which
occurred when was 52 in other words in
the year 2000 exactly was 52
years the um the great dispersion
happened what does it say in let's read
the
text what is the story of the to of
B the entire nation was one
tongue and they had one idea they spoke
the same language and they had one
philosophy but he they travel to the
east found a
valley settled
there they told one another
come prepare
yourself let's make bricks artificial
stone which is also one of
those first
T makes reference to the artificial
creation of stone you where did it begin
here it
began them in an
oven they used bricks as
Stone they used clay as mortar now of
course the simple translation here is
they lived in a valley there were no
mountains no mountains there were no
rocks Stones those stones they couldn't
build homes as the ancient people had
they built homes that are Stone so they
invented a new stone not official stone
bricks
said build a city
tower to the
heavens we'll make for ourselves a
name pen perhaps in other words to
protect
againsts will become scattered up over
the face of the entire
Earth and they did
it now it's interesting to note this is
not what I'm intending to discuss but
Rashi points out who were these guys the
family
of sh how you say in
English you're not
kidding
not
yeah one was shadra and
so of so immediately you learn that it's
not the whole world it's a segment of
the
population even though the p g the
impression has the whole world
other
emphasize that it was mostly the descend
of Shame one of the say participated and
Shan
participated they St you got to go Vis
your relative you know what I
mean in any case I'm not sure but it's
okay in any case they decided to lift
the together they went to the
East and um they built a tower so
the god descended to see the city in the
tower and people built now this illusion
God descended is a world onto itself
discussion for a different
time and God
said behold they're one
nation they speak one
language
this is only the beginning of what they
intend to
do now to
God considering this is only the
beginning there is nothing to prevent
them from all the other stuff they
intend to
do and I wouldn't want that to
happen this is only the beginning who
knows what's going to happen later on
and nobody could stop them they can do
anything they want and therefore
says he uses the same exact expression
that they use they use the
word
prangle confuse mix up their
languages no man should understand the
language of his
fellow dispersed him from there the face
of the whole world
they ceased to build the
city it's
called in that location that entangled
the language of all the
people from that
location God scattered them up the face
of the whole world this is the story
what was the ask question about that um
what was the what was the purpose
of do exactly what I want to discuss
what was their
sin is a good
idea we all know how wonderful it is
people to get along all they wanted to
do was collaborate want was live
together to exist together and to
um to have a name for
themselves hasem goes and checks it out
because if this is only a beginning and
nobody could stop them I thought Hashem
was in charge by the way I didn't know
no nobody could stop them I last time I
checked that still was in charge of the
world he said I can't stop them you B
youres now there is so many parts of
this story that we could
explore um one of the parts of the story
is this idea that Hashem says I can't
stop them and that's a whole know words
it's a whole onto itself we could also
discuss um this notion of has
descending we can also discussi says the
says that this generation not only lost
their life in this world they lost the
other world they
lost they lost their world to come for
building the tower for building this
Tower the generation of the flaw there's
two opinions whether they have or not
the generation of the Tower of B
certainly doesn't have observes it's a
funny thing the generation of the flood
was pulverized and yet they may still be
worthy of el this generation wasn't
really punished it were just spread out
and they lost in everybody's account
everybody's opinion so there's a lot of
different things to we could focus on
but I want to push focus on the story
itself what was their crime what did
they do wrong when you look in the ma
you find quite
a a gamut quite a a a kaleidoscope quite
a a variety of different interpretations
something that I very very simple and
something very deep and mystical what
was what was their issue what was their
deal
what was their a what was their
sin but think about it in simple words
first what was before and what was after
everybody spoke the same language
everyone was of the same
race do we know people with with flat
noses or or or horizontal eyes or flat
heads or short and stocky bodies and
tall and thin everybody was the same
race and spoke the same language
question and the the generation of the
dispersion began a process which would
eventually uh genetically and racially
divide people we speak different
languages we live in different
continents we have different cultures we
look
physically
different a few minutes a few minutes
you don't mind a
few so just that alone is a very
powerful it's a very it's an amazing
idea
it explains first all the source of
languages people who study
language you know people the whole world
believes that we all came from Abes and
we once didn't speak languages and we
developed language and the truth is that
they all admit that development of
audable language is a is a great Feit
it's not a simple thing to do and then
there's such a thing called anology the
study of the roots of languages
according to T every language comes from
Hebrew and it was it radiated it's it
was split up by the story The Great have
I just want to make a
comment what kind of world you think
we'd live in if we all had the same race
and spoke the same
language people have claimed that race
is a close second to religion for all
the problems in the world religion of
course is responsible for every murder
for every act of violence and immorality
and power seeking it's all religions for
everything is religion but race is also
pretty responsible I want to make a
suggestion if we of One race we'd be
equal opportunity
Killers the division of races creates it
pins one group against another but it
also binds the members of a group to
each
other just just a common sense
commentary about this story I think it's
interesting to see it that way it's true
that everybody being the same is better
but there's a silver Ling to This Cloud
family community this cohesion has has a
lot to do with the neighbor if you're
the only family on the planet right what
happens when the family gets
together what happen when family gets
together they fight like cats and dogs
hello hello welcome
welcome bring another family into the
mix all of a sudden they're getting
along and they've got a com theyve got
to come they got a bond this is one way
of seeing so to speak the good side of
day having said that I would like to
explore different commentaries
on not necessarily in a the
chronological order other words we're
not going to start from the earliest
commentator we're going to start from
what I think is the most practical
commentary we're going to begin with the
cayer I'm not the CER the is
wild I mean you may not seems wild to
you but it seems very wild to
me
page words if you got this pamphlet
which has got a lot of stuff in it it's
the front half front side of the second
to the last page
P actually begins on the page before but
that's not that
important listen to this it sounds like
ecology listen to
this you have
it the Gathering of all of humans in one
place on the planet
is not good for the survival of the
humankind keeping all people in one
place means that if they're wiped out
they all wiped out
this
such
commentary it's conceivable that in a
particular place
of the land should be should be
destruction if it can happen from an
earthquake which is a consequence of a
collection of air in the center of the
earth how we translate earthquakes you
know that it's from tectonic plates but
the movements of the plates have to do
with the
heat is from a tornado or from a uh a
hurricane
which is forceful enough to uproot
mountains and to break
stone
means which I guess means
tsunami or similar types of causes how
destructive people got together they
want to live together what was that
crime there was no
crime perfectly logical thing The abish
Wanted the preservation of people he
wanted people to
survive says if Jewish if all human kind
will stay in one place they're
vulnerable now don't forget they was
just the Bas of the world he can do
whatever he wants but he created the
world within a system of within the
system of there is quote accidents
however you reconcile accidents verus
says didn't want all man live together
they should always be
survival
if all of man will be in one
place it's conable that the whole nation
will be wiped out the whole race will be
wiped out with that part of the
world it was therefore imperative to
man he should be
scattered shall know portions of the of
the
Earth the race should be
sustained if one portion of civilization
suffers the race will be sustained by
the remaining
okay wanted to uproot this attitude of
staying
together he planted to them in races in
families using a
miracle a tend
to invent new
languages that would separate them in
other words they wish to planted in
their minds a tendency
towards gathering in families Us Versus
Them develop new languages and
eventually communicating that Al this is
an example of why people are afraid of
that Al that Al's commentary a lot of
Jews would say you're not supposed to
study it at
all this
there's no God in this at all to the
contrary God seems helpless out of
control and since he's helpless not a
control you got to protect people
because you know
act so when you read this all back to
the face of
it it where is where is yish in here
where is hasem in this about and I must
tell you that the simple answer to this
question is I don't know St
inish it's a
controversial but let me share with you
a thought I want to share with you a
thought and I'll try to do this quick
because we got a lot more to cover
tonight until the
B most people
believed that not everything and
everybody
has
until not everybody believe I say nobody
believe that
what does that mean what do we
know means is in charge of everything
he's not only controlling your life he's
creating
it people believe that have to earn it
aad hasem is involved in his life aash
doesn't care about an animal Hashem
certainly doesn't care about what does
that mean the words that random out of
control they not at all involved no what
it means all the had a concept
called means a general oversight in
other words Hashem is involved in the
world on two levels on a personal level
and at a remote level if you're AIC has
gets involved in your life
personally if you're not a sadic Hashem
does not get involved in your life
person instead what does hasem do
he's involved with species for example
there's there's there's 100,000 Ze in
the African PLS Hashem wants the year
from today there should be 100,000 that
means some are going to die some are
going to be born some are going to get
eaten which live which die none of his
business as long as this a sustaining of
the
balance oversight that's clais think and
the same is true of everything the
doesn't concern the individual concern
the
species explores this issue reconciles
it I'm not going into it but there's
this
notion is saying Hashem can help man man
is going to be destroyed in the tsunami
I got to protect him from himself let me
scan him is saying like this in order
for me to be involved with man man has
to earn
it man has to earn my involvement
that's personal intervention of hm in
the lives of people you have to
earn if you don't earn it if you don't
earn it hashem's involvement with people
is like his involvement with animals
it's General he doesn't conern himself
with Larry Mo or curly which one lives
and which one dies as long as one of
them
survives should care about you you have
to ear says what happens all the people
I'm not destroying them was already once
a them again you can add another
stipulation from them is going to beik
right now there to show if right now
they to show him my involvement has to
be at a distance or in other words my
involvement has to be through through
nature if my involvement has to be
through I have to preserve them
naturally I have to make sure the human
race survives even if K I'm not
involved definely I have to scan it it
if people are going to beim I don't care
if they live in one place because then
I'm going to personally involve myself
with them and going to protect if
they're going to be I still want them I
want them because of the possible that
will come from them because I promise I
never going to destroy the world so the
only way I can preserve the human race
assuming they show is by scattering
them this is why says okay we got to
spread them around and perhaps the is
hting at something deeper is saying the
fact that hasem needed to scatter them
is a Sim that they were to show him the
T doesn't tell us how they live tell
tell us they got a law hashem's need to
scatter them to protect them from a
natural disaster need to say Hashem says
I can't help them
with I can only help in effect change
they weren't worthy
of so the sin is
unspoken the consequence is spoken since
they were people who couldn't
deserve I they were not there was no
choice but this guy them now the doesn't
say what I said this is my
interpretation but I think it makes the
AL much
more T it doesn't sound like ecology
it's t because of their level this is
the way it had to be had they
been stay together I'll protect you and
you'll see in a moment we're
learn who says the same thing but not
from a biological from an ecological
point of view but from a social point of
you okay so now we're going to read the
cak the Kaka is very long it's also in
small words so we're going to jump
around the cak the is in the beginning
it's on the and I believe I actually
made an
arrow the
beginning he says a very interesting
thing and says you have this idea in in
different context I'll first tell it to
you about PE and then I I just skip it
there's too much to
do getting a lawn is a good
thing people getting together and saying
let's be friends let's get along is a
wonderful wonderful
thing the question is can it be
sustained can people decide we're going
to be friends can they suain that
friendship let's say the answer is
no if they cannot sustain the
Friendship Is it better for them to get
along for a while not withstand that
later on they're going to have to be
diverse Diversified
divergent or should they initially
separate you know historically you
everybody knows about the Huns right the
Mongols the Mongols not the they they
were such they were animals but they
conquered the whole world how did the
Empire The Hunts
collapse not know how the Hun Empire
other words how did the the Mongolians
lose control of Europe and Asia Minor
and Africa and India
how
politics a kill the Hun was one man when
he died he had three children when they
died they had nine children so they
started splitting up the Empire then
they started competing so what did they
do they all ran
home they left their local surom their
local kingdoms they went back to
Mongolia to fight it out and when they
left the people took
freedom I mean one of
the historically it was History's
Greatest Holocaust I mean what the
mongoloids did no one realizes they but
it happened so fast they came they
destroyed the world they destroyed every
remnant of Rome they destroyed the Roman
Empire they destroyed every column every
Coliseum every statue not that we're so
worried about it as Jews the Romans
didn't weren't exactly our best friends
within 50 years it was his is gone why
it couldn't get along the here a group
of people who say let's be friends great
idea but they added three
words we're going to make for ourselves
a
name we want to be famous want to be
great say people whose focus is on
themselves are going to end up killing
each
other they if they would not say the
three
words would say Bravo I agree great
idea the whole nation get together let's
live together we're going to build a
tower the tower is going to be the
symbol of our Unity it's going to be all
going to keep focusing on the tower and
stay together but when they add and
learn shame we're going to make for
ourselves Fame that statement was the
beginning of a division
and the says it's better that I divide
you than they actually play it
out and it reads well in the
words they started to do something which
is actually
peaceful what is it going to bring to so
the goes ahead scatters them disperses
them spreads them all over the world to
protect them from themselves and he says
when inside we can get together since
they're bound not by ego but by a common
purpose it's a sustain
Unity but when get together since the
union is about ego everyone's ego is
separate interfered and destroyed the
union and the Tower of
represented because they
said self centricity this is the CLE
let's read a little bit we're not going
to read the whole C let read a couple of
words of
the you see what I'm reading it's the
first page I in
right over
here
here it seems to me that the
significance
of a gathering a meeting of evil
people it's evil for them and evil for
the
world spreading
around it's good for them and good for
the
world
opposite
because evil
people by getting
together they will by sitting together
they will think bad thoughts about one
another they
addition first they're going to be
friends then they're going to start
competing and they end up arguing and
being divided and hating each
other this is the the vengeful
Tendencies
theual You See amongst the groups
amongst the
sects are not for the sake of Turn the
Page it's over
here CH make a name on the
line and the reason for why people who
get together will eventually not get
together each one has an external
purpose which divid one from the other
think about politics think about
American Poli we have a Democratic party
and we have Republican
party because of the democratic party
there's Union amongst Republicans
because of the Republican Party there's
Union amongst the Democrats
historically there have been parties
that have become obsolete they so out of
the mainstream or what they
called very famous party that existed in
the beginning of the state the wigs the
wigs Democratic a newer party they they
became they became they became people
that have vote for them they stopped
existing what happened the Republican
Party became
two because the unity wasn't based on
them the unity was based on a common
enemy but if you take away that common
enemy all of a sudden this splits the km
to appear and the goes into a long long
elaborate the conclusion is says I'm
doing them a favor separate them now
don't let them be together separate them
now so what was the
sin we're gonna make for ourselves a
name means
us it was Eco Centric it wasn't about
serving by themselves they aish to
separated not because of doing anything
wrong at the moment because aish
anticipate that if they let them say
again they'll eat each other up alive
you know one of the best things ever
happened to the
Arabs je the Jews occupied Israel
they've been killing each other for ages
and they do a better job than anybody in
the world they found an enemy they found
huh VI
versa
but unfortunately we're not taking
a light light but they found the common
enemy it brings people together this is
this is the oldest truism in politics
it's called the politics of hate you
want support create an enemy and and
lather up the people it's human nature
they're not unified under your flag they
unified against their flag Hitler did
exactly um in any case this is another
we have to two TI
according
to the he doesn't say it but we're
interpreting it Hashem says if a natural
disaster happens to these people I can't
protect them means they
were and ab says I want these I'm
protecting them from themselves so he
scattered them not to punish them to
prevent them from being
punished the a whole different category
says they to punish them in anticipation
like they're
G
okay very
interesting and um
yeah
spread
make
um the is that when sik together they
car a concentrated force and the
concentrated Force even though they're
in one
place affects the world more
substantially has four or five different
I'm sorry it's all scribbled on I I
couldn't find another so you'll have to
just put up my
scribble it's on
page this page here the page has got a
lot of writing on it all a lot of
writing on there okay here look this is
the first P
page the back of the second page okay
the back of the second page on the left
side we're just going to read theat he
says a very interesting thing that
does let's read it
ins you see what I'm reading right over
here he
say the of why they had to be dispersed
is
they wanted to settle in one
place to be collected as
one they could find they could find no
other place large enough vast enough to
tolerate their numbers other than the
value of actually says the same
thing chose to build the Tower and the
city that should sustain them all should
the city should be a metropolis live in
it the tower would be shame would be a
sign and for notoriety for
fame that all the people of the world
would see
it and they would turn towards
it they all settle in the
city the their Vision was all people
should live together now in Heaven's
name what is wrong with
that the reason scatter them is very
simple supposed God's intent what was
God's
intent
wanted that man should spread all over
the
world settle every
continent what what happened they wanted
to stay together they should just spread
out now I want you to understand
something this is a religious position
and I hope I don't affect you too much
but maybe I
won't we live in an
age that's obsessed with nature that's
the
truth and the philosophy of our
civilization
is that man is the destroyer of nature
he's the enemy of nature and that nature
is a beautiful
thing now to a very great
extent T would completely agree with
that t is not in favor of hunting for
sport for sure Tate is not in favor of
destroying forests destroying tree trees
it even says
in that there's a there are laws and T
that were designed specifically to
preserve species to prevent Extinction
of
species on the other hand
T does not consider the jungle or the
forest
ideal T considers it the job of man to
tame the Earth to civilize the world
doesn't me have to destroy the forests
but there has to be civility order
neatness Clum Beauty this is the
function of Man created a world after
the original sin and then the sin of the
m and so on the world can produce FAL
environments crazy jungles right never
watch National
Geographic never
saw the books you see one them all
what's National Geographic if you're not
100% fit in the best shape I'm going to
eat you now it's such a brutal
World there is zero margin forever zero
if you're 99% capacity of
Fitness you're chicken soup it's a such
a brutal
world and the aish says to man you have
to change you have to tame the Earth the
world has to be a good place
so man came along and said okay we'll T
the Earth here and Ne she says no spread
out I want you to bring the message of
peace to the whole world and they built
the Tower of ba why they were not
listening to Hashem Hashem said spread
out and they said we want to stay
together now we we could romanticize
this why do they want to stay
together they want to sit together to
can serve
God they want to stay together because
they knew that if they're going to
separate later on they're going to end
up being jealous of one another and
hating one another they may have ideal
motives but the abish says this is not
what I want but said they wanted to stay
together because they knew that they're
same race same language they'll prevent
fighting politics and murder you could
make that case they wanted to say
together
aish all very nice I want you know you
need
to Diversified become separate different
races different languages and maybe
compete kill one another but civilize
the
world so there sin was is I say together
and said I want you to spread
out very interesting but the thing is
that I don't understand is that um when
if you to stay together and population
increases and increases and increases
you're going spread out anyway you can't
you can only have so many people in one
spot at the same time okay I it's a
complicated question it really is come
question but that would take a long time
Hashem gave them a mandate says pick
yourself up and move that every once
actually said that after the
mble all life came from Gad that I said
and it radiated to the whole world and
as man spread out amongst the
islands they brought with them a lot of
ancient ideas that's what you find in
South America in the cultures of the
Indians ideas that I mentioned in the
Gada
everything started in one place and it
radiated
this
now there are many more I addition the
three I just mentioned but we're going
to going to skip go to one more
okay A bunch of other and the final is
that means we're going to worship the
name of God
as opposed
to God
himself what was the sin of the
day let's get together let's read what
does the
say make for ourselves a
name shame we're going to worship the
name as opposed to
himself and if I had more time I can
give you the long version of it but the
short version of it is
this we've discussed this many times in
the past we will discuss many times in
the future but what separates the unity
of God from paganism Min
version We believe that there's
Angels We believe that these all of
these different forces well we believe
that God controls them
that the Angels Have No Free Will hasem
uses them like tools like
porns what makes something an idol what
makes something a get something Pagan
that you worship the angel you make from
the angel a self-contained entity when
when you need rain you pray to Michael
when you need fire you pray to Gabrielle
I'm sure you can find the more Exotics
pronunciation for that with meusel and
all the rest um the
what make something Pagan is not that
you invent something new that you divide
you split you separate right there the
hasem could have done everything himself
he created for the purpose of 's
expertise in
C A
hierarchy I'll drink I'll drink to
anything hus series of layers there were
the names of God there are the Angels
there are the stars and the
constellations all these different
forces if a person acknowledges that
they get their blessings from the heaven
but acknowledges the heavens are tool of
God's hand there's no crime the crime is
the
separating so
the idea we're going to worship the name
of God we're not going to worship d
himself we're going to worship God in as
much as a relationship with ourselves
but they had aop they were they were
original and this is really I don't
understand exactly what is the this is
they did not invent idol worship they
did not invent paganism it existed
before there many
pagans but they created a new spin a new
crutch to
paganism what was the
difference until
then pagans worshiped many
gods but they all knew that there's a
super God who really in
charge I had a girl years
ago who who studied Eastern religions
she tell me that even in Hinduism there
is mono there is
one there is underneath all the layers
there's a concept of one God it's just
that he's not in charge he's you know sh
the heavens and heavens for God and the
Earth is for to mess around
on until the day there were many pagans
what does it mean to be a pagan I'm
worshiping the laws of nature I'm
worshiping the god of fire wish me the
god of wind wish me the god of Earth the
god of fertility the god of water the
god of renewal all these different gods
what makes it Pagan is that I attribute
to them independent
power but pagans believe that above them
all there a super
god the god of
gods
so Pagan believes in hem he just
believes has no power or I don't have to
directly relate to him their invention
was a little different they wanted to
worship the name of God but deny the
presence of God not say God exist in the
heavens with have nothing to do with him
there is only the name they want to ATT
to
worship a super god the name of Hashem
himself but to deny that above the above
the name of hm there is HEM
himself and that has interesting clch he
observes that this entire the name is
never
used usually the name of hasem used for
judgment
isim what does it say over here
always
says
because invented a new we're not going
to worship we're not going to worship
the small gods we're going to worship
the super God we're going to worship His
name not
him this was their this was their crime
they wanted to make the the name of
hasem the only truth and forget about
himself
what does this mean wait a minute but I
wish I just want to show you at least
the kit it
inside P see if you can find
it
I'm just going to read a few lines and
then I'm going to see if I can explain
to you the the the their invention
second line from the top of the page it
says like this and again I'm sorry about
this
Scribble it's a funny thing we're
reading a story about people who were
bad and Hashem
punished punish with the name elim bad
people relate
Alim in the entire story of the only
is
mentioned in the story of the flood the
name used over and over again
is the generation of the flood denied
the last what does that mean to
say Hashem exists but the lowest me of
hem we're going to separate it we're
going to make them a god onto
itself they were destroyed only from the
lower world
also the higher
world because they disted from the
higher
worldish measure for
measure see
it the place the people there what was
their deal they had to invent a new
religion what was
theirs they denied the name
of punish with that
name show them his
power okay I'm gonna stop here and
earlier on he discussed what I told you
but we're going to worship the name of
hasm not hasm himself we're not going to
worship the name of and we're going to
say there's a super God and there are
assistant sub Goods we're going to
worship the super God but his name not
him now what does that mean what
difference does it mean if you're
worshiping worshiping his name the name
of H is the name of hem as opposed to
and
very by this is discussed in you have in
the back of here and also
nice what the differ worshiping the aish
and worshiping his name
simple why do we have
names
to one
another right if you don't ex this I
don't need a
name the concept of the name is
relationship the recognize that there is
one omnipotent
God but what do they need that unip God
for what he provides them
with the notion that Hashem exists and
his existence is not just for them exist
is
true and therefore their obligation to
Hashem is not just based on what they're
going to get from Hashem but based fact
that is true this was their issue is
that we're going to create a God one
God but he's a name name mean to say
we're going to worship the aish only in
as much as the aish serves our purpose
other words they had a
different says Hashem exists I can't
relate to him he's too big he's too
accomplishing I'm going to create a
bunch of are little Gods I can relate to
them one at a time the that said
we're going to relate to the one big God
we're going to make them
smaller we're gon to make the name his
truth is only as useful as as as as a
relation has a relevance for us the
truth of Hashem the truth of hem is
absolute truth of hm is not in
relationship with us being a servant of
hem doesn't mean worshiping the name of
H woring the words I'm not giving
something should send me a
this was their this was their sin this
was their of course you can explain it
in more detail this is the essence of it
so how many did we
have how many did we have three or
four four
the say protecting people from
themselves from their sins the says the
going to leave the politics he saved
them from the
politics say wanted them to settle the
world they didn't want even if their
intentions were very sin Force cabala
says they wanted to make their aish
their subordinate their name I'm going
to say something in conclusion I don't
think that what I'm about to say is the
same but I'm going to say it
anyway people
say that arle believed in
God people say that our believe in God
and it's true he used the word God he
did have a concept of a deity
of that's that's people say say
that but if you'll study and have le
have no attention
on you'll study the god that arist
believed in and you'll discover
something very
interesting the god AR believed in was
his servant not his
master what did AR understand understand
it's not understood by the modern
Sciences what's the fundamental
difference between the Greek approach
and the modern scientific
approach the modern scientific approach
is always about the
detail analyze smaller and smaller
smaller pieces break it up small look at
smaller smaller pieces a a molecule an
atom an atomic particle a subatomic
particle small small small
small and we look at these tiny little
pieces and we conclude that what makes
the tiny little pieces into larger
pieces is energy right there's energy in
a m in an atom it's drawn naturally to
another atom and it becomes a a
molecules Aristotle didn't look at the
world in a microscopic way he looked at
it from the Big T little he saw a person
wow who put that person
together he couldn't fa he couldn't
accept the notion that subatomic
particles should become atoms should
become molecules should become cells
should become organic should become
limbs in the body and frankly our was
closer to the
truth our beli in the concept of a soul
if you see order there's a soul if you
see something beautiful someone made it
beautiful it didn't happen by itself you
look at a beautiful flower you look at a
leaf and you see all those designs
there's a soul to that leaf it's not
just molecules came together they by
mistake became beautiful there's a at
everything he called it angel
there little angels and big angels and
the biggest angel of all is the Angel of
the whole universe this is
God but what is God's function to
sustain the
universe what is the the soul of
life in other words Aristotle's concept
of God was is the only reason God exists
is because we
exist he helps the world exist is there
anything to Hashem other than the fact
that he gives life to the world no we to
say it in the modern language there's no
proof of it so believe inish but what
does aish this he gives me life with the
emphasis on me not on him he believed in
God but the God he believed in simply
allows him to do what he wants not what
the wants perhap that's they wanted to
make the name of the aish God only the
aish as much ites their purpose this
this
was
any case we
learned the says that the used to read
from the the King used to read by from
and when he finished he used to say no
he didn't say it's 11:15 he didn't no no
no he he wore the Torah on his arm he
said that was a good
try
more than I read is written here there's
a lot more here and you could I'm
leaving it to you for the for the
