so my welcome to everybody welcome back to tourist spot I hope everybody had a summer getting them ready to take on the challenges of life as we start the new year imagine we're just less than two weeks before before Rosh Hashanah the month of ello the month of preparation for us to take over to Shawna the way Hashem wants us to the Jewish New Year is so different from the not Jewish New Year 's new year was drinking and sugaring Jewish New Year is a very solemn happy holiday Italian because it's day of judgment Shem looks at our past record of the whole year to see how we lived did we grow or did we stagnate we take a look back bless you at this time before us inshallah and now before this is Rosh Hashanah and take a look to see are we the same well if we didn't get worse that's also good but it's not enough we want to grow with something more than we were last year when this world Hashem wants us to grow in our service to Hashem the study of Torah episode the laws of the Torah another was getting close to Hashem going close to God that's our purpose in this world because the more we get close to God in this world we'll be close to him in the world to come it's a great pleasure a world of pleasure unbelievable unsurpassed pleasure in the world to come the closer we are to him the more of his pleasurable be able to to enjoy so we want to think of an inventory are we growing in our life towards the goalness and put us here for so uh this is the day of judgment that she was going to take a look and see how we're how are we how we're doing it in our in our life for we using our life for the for the right purpose that we we're doing the things we should be doing and not doing things not doing those things we shouldn't be doing so this is a day of judgment but it's very happy day because Hashem is our King it's close to us 10 days a special closeness to the Jewish people so it's a special time of Sir mixed feelings it's a time of of uh since being a very serious time because of judgment but it's very happy time being close to Hashem so this is the month of el the month before month of tishray of Rosh Hashanah That was supposed to be thinking and working on themselves trying to make uh no uh things that we should take upon ourselves to do with us the way we speak the way we act the way we think is it synonymous with the word Terror wants us to live because we have to can't think about we want to grow I wanted to discuss tonight the upcoming portion of the Torah going to read this coming Shabbos we have two portions because we have to finish the Torah by cynical Cyrus in a few weeks so in order to do that we have to read two portions of the third this week did sovereign of the thing which is mentioned which is talking about what we just talked about before growth bring us up to higher level of spirituality close to Hashem close to God and it starts off Moses went where did he go doesn't say where he went we know that we're about to read about the facto is about to leave the world and uh his great disciple you know sure Josh was going to go he's going to take over for him and uh he is talking to the Jewish people and telling them the news that he's about to leave them you can imagine the terrible feeling whole Jewish Nation had frightening feeling motion man is going to leave that believes leaving them he's leading there for 40 years in the desert took them out of Egypt being God's Messenger to do so he stood by Mount Sinai brought the Torah to the Jewish people with hashem's words and went through the challenges of the desert for 40 years and helped them out in so different ways put down the month to eat was to drink all the history we read about most of abandons with people in the in the desert and whenever they were in trouble he prayed Hashem and got him out of trouble and now he says I'm leaving you frightening so people are really what's going to be we're going into their holy land now most of things are going to be with us who it's going to be we need him so badly desperately went a great capital of totals he went to calm down the Jewish Nation and tell them don't be frightened Hashem still with you maybe I'm not with you but Hashem he's the one who's with me he'll be with you and Yeshua my great student disciple will be with you and that's where he went I told the people they don't have to be afraid they'll be okay just act the way as him wants attacked and everything will go okay foreign what they do for Jewish people a leader was the Jewish leader a Jewish leader is not just somebody who's able to take care of their political needs and their physical needs the economical needs somebody lifts them up it's a higher level of greatness spirituality closer to God that's what the Jewish leader is obligated to do he has to take care of all the needs the physical needs the monetary needs and also the these are then the shama of the Soul and that must have been with the greatest man who ever lived because Prophet were prophesied he did just that for the Jewish people those 40 years he brought them up to hire highest standard of of Life the real life of the life which brings the into the ultimate and the life of the hereafter which is forever and ever so that's what a Jewish leader is has to do to be a real Jewish leader he has to take care of all the needs including the spiritual needs and that's what we have to uh work on ourselves to attach ourselves to people who bring us at a higher level whether it's a person and that we're close to listening to somebody in the real life or things that we read the things that we see things that we listen to we have to try to use those methods Hashem gave us in this world seeing and hearing and talking to lift ourselves higher see here's words from a great person to read words of a great person to listen to words okay that's what we want to do for our lives and now before Russia we have to contemplate and think are we doing that who are listening to the right people I just want to hear a lot of jokes all the time and frivolous talks things that don't make much sense as people just just to take life so so so simply and and not not seriously just to try to make the time go by killing time but people say killing time that's about the best things worse the type of killing the person can do to kill time we have to use our time in this world for a purpose so this is what the term is telling us over here the great leader of the Jewish people is about to leave them and what does he do before he leaves them he's only worried about the Jewish people that about himself he had what to do for himself he could have gone higher and higher in this elevating himself closer to Hashem but a great Jewish leader puts to put Jewish people first went to calm them down they shouldn't get panicky he's leaving them what's going to be don't worry shims with you show us with you things will be okay and he himself said to Hashem that I'm leaving you have to appoint somebody a great person that should not be like a flock of sheep that does not have a Shepherd to take care of them in the Melbourne explains such a beautiful idea motion Hashem so we know in the animal world there's a Lead Animal so let's see the birds flying there's a bird in front and all of them they follow the bird if you ever go to the pharmacy sheep his Elite sheep goes ahead and they'll follow the Sheep that but that sheep is a sheep like the other sheep that birds are burned like another Birds it's not it's not a different uh the level of greatness it just has some kind of leadership qualities that the other birds know to listen to to follow a shepherd is a different category is not calligraphy another sheep he's a human being it's way above the animal world he's in the human being world said questions the two types of leaders Selena that takes care of the people and the physical needs like I said with political needs all types of things that keeps them going to be a nation but it stops over there there are other other leaders who bring the people up to a higher level of greatness that only takes care of the physical needs but takes care of their spiritual needs live some higher up closer to Hashem so most of us said I don't want the Jewish people and when I leave them to have a leader who beat the leader like everybody else except his leadership qualities no I want someone who's going to bring the hive up and a higher level of greatness the spirituality they shouldn't be that flock of sheep doesn't have that doesn't have a shepherd they might have a lead sheep but the Sheep is like everybody all the other sheep I want them to be like a flock of people as a personal Shepherd who's a different category of greatness than the other sheep a leader who's closer as him can be like most Urbana but sort of like most of them to a certain extent that the entire level and this is what he prayed Hashem and this is what we pray touch him all the time we need leaders that will raise us above our highest or closer closer touch him closer to the purpose of life that has been created this for this is the type of people that we should connect ourselves to there's a lot of people going around and give good speeches and a very uh entertaining and they have a lot of personality but I want to finish what they're talking are we getting something substantial from it there's something that we're growing from it we just had a nice speech you know and it was it was it was enjoyable and then we go on tour with our business that's something we're here for for a person around to get close to people bring us up to higher level of greatness closer to Hashem and here and Mercia bayno also prayed to Hashem different qualities that he wanted Hashem to appoint to lead it to be a rook has a little bus or the thing called a leader has to be very open to realize that people are very different and they don't have they don't handle everybody the same way some people will be handled in a simple Smiley way and some people sometimes are being a strict way and sometimes they have to be in the middle of some way everybody has a different uh personality a great leader has to judge who he's talking to in order for him to be able to have a effect on the person you have to know who you're talking to and how you have to talk to the person now everybody's the same and therefore you said to Hashem please Point somebody who will be able to understand the type of personality of each person that he talks to and talk to him the right way in a way that they'll be effective to the church will talk to a person it might be effective one way but the other person might want to turn them off because it's the same way some people it's just that's the way that's why I talk whoever you talk to that's why I talk some people turned on so it was ticked off turned off but most of my bands that will either he makes sure to know who he's speaking to and speak the right way in the right style of of of uh of talking in order for the person to listen to him and be able to have an effect on that person so this is what martial Bank was able to do that that realized that people are different they said rabbis tell us just like people's faces are not the same the same way people's ideas are not the same so the question whether the rabbi's want to tell us about this just like people's faces are not the same the ideas are not the same so the great commentaries tell us because if you see somebody he doesn't look the same as the other person who looks the same besides the identical twins everybody has a different look a different face he recognize people by the face when you said ah that person is no good because it doesn't have Faith Hill like my face and everything's that way it does them kind of faces he's adorable he's okay you have the same faces as I have the same way people with ideas so people have their idea of Life their idea of things and that's it they can't hear anybody else's opinion so because I'll tell us just like the faces of people are not the same young think there's something wrong with them they have a different face than you the same way of some of this different idea that you have don't think that something's wrong with him but people have different ideas and way of looking at things so they should be acceptable just like accept everybody's face they don't say there's something wrong with them because they don't have the same face other people's ideas of course some ideas are false and actually and some of those and then naturally people don't don't have the right ideas of things but there are people that are the same type of person person that you are that's actually as this is ideal life so this is Frank tashem appoints somebody who has this quality of being able to except other people's ideas understand them he also prayed should go and in front of them are not like so it's a lot of the Kings they go to war they send out their generals and the soldiers out the front lines and they stay home in the palace and enjoying themselves with whatever it is and they send out to Soldier and Generals enough to fight the war and put themselves in danger and they stay back and enjoy life and are safe and sound in their power Palace without worrying about what's going to happen to them so most of us said no that's not we're the type of person I want what person like I did Manchester in the front lines people want to fight they were in front of them accepted the king and the person that's president whoever it might be in charge of a Nation if they go in the front lines they give a lot of encouragement to the soldiers to see that that the king himself is going in front he's putting himself on the line with them that gives it much more stamina and and will to fight and put themselves in danger to uh to win the battle if they say that that the the monarch of the country is is putting himself the same way the soldiers are same but the danger if the king is back home taking it easy so the the soldiers and the front lines don't have the same uh stamina and the same encouragement to fight who's like I did it comes to a battle I'll go in front and show them that he's putting himself in the line they are and uh we're gonna when when the white Fighters battle against also find the person who will be able to be patient but the people of the country people a person to charge has to realize that some people are difficult to manage difficult to please and they are very Buddhism and always complaining and always refusing to accept the uh the the the the things of the country that person has to accept always has complaints and they have their own problems but they bring it out into the open when they when they talk to the leader they have a complaint about something he wants to talk to them and they know the center reason and they just keep complaining foreign take it easy and come back the next day with another complaint they might be a naughty people and neutral and the hakatranic a lot I would say in English and patient and work with them who knows what the background is their problems and so on probably the reason why this is whatever it is they have their own problem personal problems and this was that's the type of leader that to show people should have very patient we're talking about now these qualities but the two people were so were so uh upset that is leaving them where do you find the leader with all these great qualities not only that but he said that they should be a person who able to be a static be a righteous person that he will have in his because of his righteousness he will be able to bring out the soldiers that they shouldn't be killed they shouldn't be wounded they'll be able to bring them out in such a way that the Sham will see he's the leader and his horse and his the Merit of the of the great subject the king should be of greats addict not only a great General Warrior and a knowledgeable and patient and so on that we mentioned but Sadiq also that this great righteous person that keeps the laws of the Torah to the full extent that we have to keep them the Hashem will look at him and say he's leading these soldiers into battle into that dangerous field of where they're on their way to but they're fighting they should be a righteous person and under his wings of protection Hashem will watch over the soldiers and make sure that they there will be Victorious and not be killed in the land of action by attitude that the that they're fighting for the Jewish people and they'll bring them out to strong way of of war and bring them back home again and everybody who went out to battle should come home to their families and they shouldn't be missing it shouldn't be killed in the end and and and battle and this was what he prayed for also because like we find when they fought the War of Midian while the first officers came to motion but they know and said they fought this war now one soldier was killed in the war they came to bring a a sacrifice to Hashem to show depreciation being discussed in this Merit should watched over all of them all the soldiers around it even though they were very very few they went around against crazy odds said don't worry you know if they have big odds to fight their War I'll take care of you it took care of every one of them came back and nobody was killed in the war foreign and to top it all off find the Marshall Plano one Hashem speak to him he came up and they went into Michigan would speak to them to give a message to Jewish people and they said would give him over there I said wouldn't then speak to Jewish people only in our Sinai but scientists have spoke to them directly after their Hashem sent messages to emotional abundance of Moses that he brought the message he said to his people and it says he came down from the mountain right to the people he was in I've seen him whenever he had his medicine was the thing to do to accomplish he didn't take care of his own needs he went right away to his people to uh tell them the message has been the message for Hashem from God to them and this is what the uh greatness of a Jewish leader is to put the people first not himself first when he when we get around to it we'll take care of his things and like I said this and that and there are no codes for the Jewish people and tell them what they used to tell them and uh that's not what Jewish people leader is he puts people first before himself his his coffees the cold coffee and the the in the office the lord of the boss we say will bossy investigative everything so uh he's uh of some types of bosses make sure they drink the hot coffee before they take care of them what they have to take care of but that's not the weight of a Jewish King Jewish leader they put themselves second and third and fourth whatever has to be done but that's the you know that's hashems Jewish people they have to do the job and do it as quickly as possible so this is what we're talking about yeah all these qualities that we're talking about and uh where do you find deleted like that she was a bit more overwhelmed what's going to happen so they're very scared what's going to be it must have been worse don't worry I should be with you Yeshua he has all these qualities wasn't the same as much like a rabbis tell us much about like the sun and she was like the moon they both shine but it's quite a difference between the shine of the Sun the side of the moon of course the moon gets its Shine from the Sun it sure was a great disciple it was his disciples is like the moon getting his light from the Sun but he was nowhere near the greatest emotional that he was but he was very great in his own way and that he calmed him down telling them that that you'll be okay just keep the laws of the turret do what you have to do say what you have to say think what you have to think through the loss of the time will be with you don't be don't be afraid don't be a don't get panicked I'm not with you so this is what we're talking about the Jewish people we want to connect ourselves to Greater leaders people to to bring something to higher level and same way like a holiday is like a Jewish leader that we have because of a connected self to a holiday because she was close to us on holiday Rosh Hashanah coming up I hope we'll talk about next week and more uh explaining the the essence of Rosh Hashanah with the chauffeur but this is what we want to connect ourselves to the great holiday of Rosh Hashanah to prepare for it realize Hashem our King is coming close the King has lost we want to make sure that we're keeping laws of the king we're so happy that he's coming close to us but we don't want to find any uh flaws in our life as a Jewish person so this is what we have to think about the next two weeks ago categories versus China of course every day any man who goes and Sean in the morning to pray you know the chauffeur was blowing the last two weeks already every month after after the dominant after the prayers the show first not just the Rosh Hashanah we started the month of el every day the Shelf is blown and it's giving us the start to wake up from my sleep like the red monk says someone's sleeping a whole year and not doing what you have to do and that's what she wants us to do so let's do our best now we're here back again in uh tourist spot and we gotta prepare ourselves for the coming year and with Rosh Hashanah beginning of the year to make a real meaningful one and a worthwhile Mr Shanna and to think that we have to jump to be proud of us and that we're working on ourselves for the New Year we're gonna make ourselves North and make ourselves do so in the way that we're gonna do new things no no ways of serving him no ways of getting stronger in our service
