Oh dear

and look at that i'm pointing the camera the wrong way okay there we go and i have a thousand and a half things to get to and so do you probably i mean i don't know could be you're just chilling but anyways right now you're watching this video so i'm gonna make it short for me and for you this week's torah portion is called by yalif which literally means and he went obviously talking about something that isn't stationary and that's cool because it's in contrast to last week's torah portion which was called mitsubim which means standing which is you know something or someone or people in our context standing in one place and the video is not glitching i'm glitching these tour portions and next week's torah portion all occur on the last day of moses maisha's life moses is moses is life moses is life in a physical body in the physical world that we know and he's really talking to us and giving us his final last words in particular in last week's proportion he was reminding us of the covenant that we have with hashem and telling us about this contractual and essential relationship that each of us has with god and on some level last week which was called nietzsche meaning standing was referring to god's side of the deal so to speak god who is standing so to speak because god is unchanging god is stationary of course we can't really limit god to any of these words but god is god so god just is but we are people and we go through a bunch of things and we're supposed to go through a bunch of things and we're supposed to grow in life so we are more on like in this week's torah portion the ones being spoken about which is this idea of going and moving but anyways it's actually not at all what i had in mind to say right now when i pulled out this camera and promised myself that i would make this quick so let me make it quick god tells moses that eventually when we are not going to follow the torah we are going to land ourselves in some troubling times and when these troubles befall us we're going to say oh it's because god is not among us because as hashem was telling moses i am going to hide from my people i'm going to put them in a setting in which they feel that i'm not with them and that they're just bound to whatever laws of nature and whatever circumstances they find themselves in and literally the words of the possible read them to you i have a hummus right here uh actually you know what i'm not gonna read it but we say is it not because hashem is not among us that all of these troubles have befallen us something along those lines you're of course more than welcome and in fact encouraged to learn it yourself and in the hasidic dimension tells us that sometimes or i would say oftentimes because we are blind to our own faults we don't fix them and when it comes time to fix our own faults and if we have never acknowledged the fault you know what hashem does hashem shows us that issue in someone else so we'll notice someone else has a serious problem when that guy that person you know hopefully we're smart enough not to talk about that you say lash and hara but we think in our minds like wow that guy has a serious issue but really the reason we're noticing that is because we have the issue that's what this passage is saying and the hasidic dimension what were the words is it not because hashem is not among us that all these evils have befallen us because we are not spiritually sensitive enough to god it's because we are not in touch with our own faults and our own issues that hashem forced us to see it in someone else and you know what it's because of a lack of godliness a lack of being in touch with the godliness in us that we can possibly even find evil in someone else so here's what we need to do first of all we need to know this so that if we see a problem in someone else we should really examine in ourselves what's going on and we really hopefully shouldn't see issues with someone else because we should be working on ourself and especially we should be working on the love that we have for our fellow we need to love we just crowned god as the king rosh hashanah the king of the world we can't just say oh we want you to be king we need to be together we need to be a nation a king needs a nation so we must be united we must love one another and this should start with us the jewish people we must have a love for one another a tremendous amount is not even a good word it shouldn't be an amount it's just an intrinsic love we are really one and we must tap into this live with more joy and more love and study more torah and do another mitzvah with more passion and may we see may we not just have to think about but see how one we really are with the revelation of mashiach may it be now and don't forget to demand this of hashem that we want meshiach now
