Gods Presence in Exile by Rabbi Dr. Aaron Adler

um we're just going to round out the last two weeks discussion of Y where the thrust of the explanation of the last two weeks has been who was the Yona who was the dove it was CLA Isel so obviously it was a takeoff on in and that the dove did not find a place of resting and I cited a in the beginning it was referenced to CL Isel so had material to work with with Y however the cabalists as we'll see in a moment took the Y to meaning and to this end we'll deal with the topic at least the first part of the sh before we get to the next poem which hopefully will be hope you all brought your tuning folks so we can sing it properly on key yeah um and in the First Source you have two pages stapled but I'm on the page that titled where says I am with you in times of trouble and distress I am with you I capital I double time it's a that we're keenly familiar with because anything that makes the S we become familiar and if you're in early enough for we say it every shabas so we have this per we also say it we say it at levas because of the and that's a that's not only relevant for but for any time a person is on his way to a dangerous Journey believe me we've been saying this often enough in the last year and a month for all of our so I have a good news update on my sonan he's doing well in Shum and rehab and he'll be out of there sooner than later and he's doing okay my sonan yeah yeah he was clipped he was clipped okay we we didn't we didn't run it in the New York Times as a headline but uh people did know about it on Sim in the morning I'm not going to review the whole story but thank God he's doing well and he'll be out of there but he did tell me this week um when I spoke to him about berkata gome in a different setting I'm teaching about berkata G and I asked him I said what about goyl so he said well I already did it because there was a whole question when do you mench goyl for person is sick or injured so there are many posim say when you're totally recovered as totally recovered as a person may be sometimes you never become totally recovered but when a person is able to function so he said he already benched for leaving leanon and he'll bench gel again when he feels he's just he's already off crutches so he he's on his way to full recovery thank God pilot he's the pilot yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but he was busy doing something else um in Lebanon doing you know some of the heavy duty work so they um so I I I I asked him I said why would you Ben twice so he tells me because it's two different uh two different things one one is is anybody getting out of Lebanon or Aza coming home for a Shabbat has to bench K because you just left the war zone even if you're going back on Sunday or Monday and the second is he was hit so you know he's recovering so he he felt that there so I said fine that's going to be a a subject for AA for a she you know whe you say but I my last comment to him was that the felt that can never be if you really feel that a was holding your hand during the whole business and the said this in the context of what the gar says four people the four categories of people who are obligated who have to say go but thear doesn't say obligated it says ought to say so said you see it's and that's a subjective call so therefore if a person says gol then later wants to say gol again because the person thinks there's a need for another thank you you can't do that you can't do that it's not a so it's very much um very much personal and I'll just say that when my sister lives inash so there there are many people who work in the states and Hightech and they get back on the chabas you know they go every Monday to the to the and get back on Friday so there was 30 people lined up on chabas bench which my sister said this was Theon so the rabbi put an end to it and he said one should Ben and they can all answer and that's also proper so they can be them with the goo because that was like just ridiculous what was happening okay but now let's function on emo says I will be with you in moments of distress and trouble Source Talk number two is the Zohar and in the Zohar it says and this is Aramaic but I'll read it and translate the time that the which is the nickname of aadh resting in this world is in Exile it is said about it in other words when the Tor talks in par Noah that Noah sends out the Y and to see if the water has this dried if the Earth is now dry and it comes back because it couldn't find a resting place so The Zo The cabalistic Source explains this as being the did not find a resting place which means that when is in G is there with us in galut and it also means that while in galut we're not supposed to feel comfortable and at home and I remember the saying we were studying theit was saying beginning of rather so it says it says they are coming to Egypt and then it says they came so one second anybody in a grammar class would write such a sentence would fail how can you have the present tense and then end with the past tense make up your mind what is it so I'll just say parenthetically theat is is a quote from ramban says this not my own idea ramban says this that the Tora simply took a in that talks about yov coming down to MIT with the all his children 70 people in all and there the present tense is appropriate and here are the names of B who who are coming into Egypt and the Tora in beginning of Simply backtracks and and picks up from there so let's pick up from there and and then it it goes into the pre the the the past ends yeah yeah they came they came is and so on but the r said a dynamite thought the med says why does it say in the present tense it says Ru Allah shim Shimon Allah Le Allah which means Ru shim Le they all went down to M ruim and Le left M did the medish really mean that when we left MIT Ru the son of yov Shimon the son of yov Le the son of yov Yuda the son of yob they were still alive and they went out no no no no no no he said so you might say the shave it fair but the he he he really re uh fine- tuned it here and he said that three four generations later they were still you not just using the names of ruen shimy but they were play playing the role of ruven shim Ley they were still ruven shim and Lees and they felt like they just got to Egypt 300 years later 200 years later they they felt they were they were migrants they were new arrivals they never got used to being Egyptians culturally and that's why kazal say they didn't change their language they didn't change their names they didn't change they Garb they look Jewish know as the people in answer them they figured out right away who's Jewish right right measured the noses right the uh the the U the idea of being culturally you know part of B Israel even in the context of galut the said that's the only way there's a chance that there's going to be a Redemption the only way because if they somehow culturally integrate and assimilate they'll never go out and that's why the felt he didn't like the word diaspora said diaspora was too polite and find of a word it gave legitimacy for being there he said you say golus and golus means Exile well we say today galut but he said it as Gus and and and and if you feel that you're you're you're detached gut means Detachment and that and that's exactly what was uncomfortable he was with Amel he was uncomfortable there just as am is is not to be comfortable in the situation of galut but says the zor on shabat and Y felt comfortable even in galut why because the cabalists believed that the moment of Shabbat and yam the spirit of G has kicked in even though you may still be in very Dire Straits in but there's something about the spirit of G that kicks in weekly every Shabbat and seasonally every y now we sing this in it's part of the Poetry we sing about this and what isn't if not that borrows phrases from after and we have the seven of consolation all from and all of a sudden you start getting phrases that are familiar oh I don't remember ever studying yes in school no you went to sh Friday night or your home you did Kabal chabat and you remember you know these phrases very clearly from so what is that you go out to welcome the is coming home for dinner Friday night and and and that's what we're doing Shalom we're welcoming the into our homes why are we doing this because on Shabbat we put everything on the side all our troubles and it's a new world I remember the r explaining once a a a sensation that he had when he was still a teenager when the family had left fled kovich from White Russia and they made it to Vara the midst of World War I and he would do occasionally in the in a g you imagine and he always was amazed how people who were living in poverty the whole weak and difficult making a living and difficulty struggling in life would put on their SP and their beha and it was just a completely different existence it was a transformation it really was a transformation and now perhaps we can understand why by the the sud or as they call it shis would extend and extend they wouldn't want to bring it to an end like why go back to weekday to reality and and they used to say aort that you know there's a cabalistic idea AA that even in the punishments the Heavenly punishments of Gan whatever that's supposed to mean it doesn't function on Shabbat and kicks up again after Shabbat and they say that the sh of geham looks down and wants to know if they said in Bells because they said in Bells they were shabas at 11 o' at night so he wouldn't you know turn on the heat until Bells was already after shabas but but this is a joke but it reflected a reality a reality of stretching and stretching and stretching the Shabbat and one of the reasons that we say is because we know that the are going back to a type of spiritual reality that's let's just say uncomfortable so we're asking that should pay attention to the for the next six days and that's why if there's a yum in the middle of the week we dispense with saying on this Barat because the is going to get a break on Tuesday or on Wednesday or on Thursday it's not going to be a full week any longer but if yum happens to be on Shabbat like this year rash not this year but when rash comes out on Shabbat so before we will say it because it's a full week but if rash comes out on Thursday like this year so the shabas M shabas before we didn't say it and the only exception to this rule is if PES comes out on Shabbat well what's the difference if PES comes out on Shabbat or sukot comes out on Shabbat or rash comes out on Shabbat the difference is that the Y P on one level begins with noon time on a of P the moment of bringing the Corban p and how do I know that that's the moment of yam because shalom we should know from the person sitting shiv as I did to my father a few days before rash so when does the shiv end with the onset of yam now of course says take two hours to get ready but that's practical but when does the Aus of the Shiva really break when does the a of Shiva come to anend abrupt end with with Sundown Mish with Sundown and that would be the case for any other y except for p person gets up from shiv at noon time on PES person who sending Shiva a day or two or three or four before pesak the Shiva ends on a pesak at noon time that's a proof so you have six hours of Friday afternoon that's y so you don't have a full six days of divine punishment so we dispense with the peric of Yos on the M Shas before so all this you know is factors in so what does the zor say that on chabas and yam there there is a sensation of g no matter where we are there's one other practical ramification not just this mro that we sing that have or for that matter which is really big time but the of the second after at Shalom we ask for protection night time is dangerous so that is a for protection how do we end it well depends if you're in the weekday we say protects forever how do we end it on Shabbat we say that's shom it's completely a different ending why do we do that so it's been already pointed out by great people who studied the law the the the evolution of bhim so one was his name was Professor toshma from the HEB University a brilliant brilliant scholar and he shows that they were actually two different versions of Ashu one for ER Israel and one for bavel for the diaspora so in Isel Shabbat weekday no matter what they always ended with [Music] shom should spread the canopy of Peace on whether it was Shabbat or weekday or yam they always ended with is God should watch over us in the days of the gim they made a they made a compromise and this is something that Professor Daniela has a whole chapter in his first volume of men Israel Customs that evolve because of compromise like putting a muuza slanted which is a somehow reflects the dispute whether it should be vertical or horizontal so we do neither we put it horizontal it's a compromise or like the yui Min of waiting three hours after meat and before having milk it's the compromise between the six hours of the rambam theim and the one hour of ashas up until the 16th century and then became a little bit of a merger of three hours so you have this concept of Min hogm that developed as nothing but but a compromise between the extreme the PO polarized views and here too um with regard to hashu what happened was we all decided to say all all both B and Isel to conclude in the weekday and we all decided and to conclude with on Shabbat why because during the in in during the week day there's always trouble and there could be trouble for is on a Friday night also and there could be trouble for on p on on on on the time that um I'm sorry there could be trouble for am Isel whether it's in b or in Isel at night time symbolize Darkness it symbolize troubles and so on so even in they opted for during the weekday but on Shabbat y the spirit of G kicks in both in ER Isel and in so we adopted the for Shabbat what's the big fight here in how do you conclude on that becomes a barometer of your Zionism oh you're a real it's y you're not a it's not y drop that it has nothing to do with it I refuse to be a participant in that particular M but that's an that's an AC of M but I can show you furthermore in the itself how how we have uh uh we consider a a a even a momentary Spirit of of being at the bet mikdash in the spirit that everything is should be and that's really every is where we delineate the particular of the special day whatever it may be we actually not only declaring Readiness but in in in the of something extremely interesting happens where we're saying everything will be restored in everything when the go up for you know in it's only by m on the say here come to we sport you know every morning there if the show up there there every morning here and Shabbat twice but it's just so there was an ending of the in when stood we already because that was organized at the beginning of so they wouldn't say in God should return to if the mdash is up and functioning you would assume that is there so there was a different ending the ending was that only to you should we be serving and the end was not the person daved in the Galil or daved in yav wherever it may have been far from BET mdash in those days for sure somebody in Rome or in Egypt or in bavel there were plenty of Jews already in Babylon at the time so the person said sh there you know we we should have an opportunity of getting to mdash and serving you properly now those of you who remember from our from so we have this little add-on when the says before right before and then in it reads ends with this now the V go put an end to this he said sorry you can't you can't be into denial there is noash is inappropriate so even we have to say and that became you open up every re even if you live in that's what we do the the of the students of the V who come here about 250 years ago and spread this idea it catches it catches and there's no community in ER Israel that here says unless the who's is using and he's ignorant he doesn't realize that that's not you're supposed to do so somebody has to point it out to him that's all but the meaning is to say even on but the r explained even though the r was you know G first class but the r explained why did this minute develop because there's a certain um fantasy going on during mus as if we're now somewhere else we're not in our local sh in California or in Toronto or Melbourne we are in y and bet mikdash is standing and and and and the kohanim are going up to and we say I mean he saw it in a very positive way that what that that it is to imitate the that which went on in the days of bet mikdash and one of the more classical class iCal manifestations of imitating the spirit of is taking off your before why do we take off tan so ladies don't tell me you don't go to SCH you can go to SCH and see this firsthand what well that's your problem yeah if you are a daughter of Rashi you know maybe you would have warned fil right or says she wants filling and right right so what say it say it correct so when is it yam how much ofes is yam so is a weekday right all it is is the gab says you know like the in mikash in bet mdash so where do we replicate that atmosphere Ines so there when you have Muses based on the that's where it's so it's you have to take off and then comes the big you take it off before kades or after kades I mean imagine if we wouldn't have a it would be boring life would be boring and the question is is the Kadesh a summation of what we just said theim of bringing the back toades or is it a promo to mus so andazi and the says it's actually a promo for and the r the asazi says it's on theim that we just said and that's why because of that the um uh you the the the Min is that the says Kadesh and then everybody takes a pause and then take off thein and because means starting together with everybody with the kin usually the gives a little bit of a clap so he's signaling I'm starting now so don't wind your filling now just do that after kadha and just put it down and start together in if let's say if women are they should wait till the clap on M on that's called starting to together with the but the identified with Theo on this and he said that the Kadesh goes on the mus and therefore we should take off the and for Kadesh and be ready for MF before the Kadesh and you know what one of his proofs were not that I like rosf Caro this morning that wasn't it at all this was something highly unusual we knew and it's not latara because he readily admitted it and we saw it was true he was gifted with a lot of things but not music he he even though he's a Ley even though he a Ley he always said he invi he'll never be on the choir it's he knew that he wouldn't be on the choir but um he he he said that when the when the says kades before a special mus so he ends with he goes into the nigan of the mus when he does the Kadesh he does the nigan for the of tal when he does the kades before he does the nigan of the of n no there's a there's a certain Connection in the world of n meaning the music the music that goes along with the daving that connects the Kadesh with the mus and not what was going on beforehand and therefore um he believed that the U that the kadish actually belonged to the MF and if that's the case then the till had to be removed before the kades what's interesting is that on shabat morning when ronam get up and say adha so they say it before the Kadesh and that say kades and then the rabbi speaks but the rabbi speaks and U so somebody once said I have a cousin in America who said what are the four most cherished words in the Sid he said that mean the rabbi's not speaking today can't get better than that right wonderful sweet words but why does the rabbi speak before the Kadesh so where did that ever come from the rabbis is DHA it's actually a um reframing of the Tak ofra that said that we should read minimum 10im at any given laning of course Shabbat a lot more than 10im because you have to have seven people getting a but um you you have to have M you have to have a translation and the mataman doesn't mean reading uncus that we would need translators for the translation because we don't know the Aramaic but the translation is supposed to be commentary when somebody supposed to explain theim now in Europe asazi Jews knew cold and they were doing they were reading on Friday with the tarum you didn't need anybody in SCH to do that for you so the r of the town would get up and explain something about the paraa that the average guy in sh would never have thought of something novel some application to life what we call it htic dra or htic application so if a Rob gets up on shabas morning says it says in this week's par and rash says such and such and such and that's is Rasha I'm sorry the people know what Rashi says what are you doing you're not teaching me anything but if you get up there and say Rashi says such and such but that what he just said is highly problematic because in light of something else this doesn't make sense this is out of context this is wrong why does he do it and then you build a case and then come back to it and say ah and now we understand what Rashi is doing that's a gakha that's a that's worthwhile listening to and when does he do it he does it before the Kadesh because he wants to attach it to the CRA because right before we just put that to sa which means we're still in our mode of creat Tora you took out the you L you put it back you still there cuz Kadesh means next on the agenda he gets up and he says there is some Ron by the way who do that during laning RAB Riskin in Lincoln Square would get up seven times during laning after each Aliyah or before each Aliyah and say something about the Aliyah and explain something about the alah that was really in Conformity with the Tak ofra so I'm just pointing out why the r gives toha before the Kadesh and not after the Kadesh they still do the right the the yanites still have the un's reading with the because they never moved on you know that's all they they understand it of course if you're a tam going to Tamer you learn how to read Hebrew upside down because there was oneish in the center and all the kids sat around so those kids who sat the opposite they had to learn Al upside down and they know how to read upside down right and guess what you can do is you can train your brain to to see it in that way and that's what they do that's that's really phenomenal okay so now we have not in on Shabbat and now you understand why according to this explanation of the Z why we sing on Shabbat because on Shabbat the has found a resting place even if you're sing it it Teck no matter where you're singing it has found a resting place on Shabbat is there now where do we know from where do we know that this whole idea of not just from the but from from the G in so here it says in number three I will go down I personally will go down to save and I will bring them up so here's what we learn but we see it already in seid that going leaving AR Isel is a is going down going to Isel is an alah so even though there's a med that says from a topography point of view is higher elevation than any other country in the world take that not only with a grain of salt but with the whole Shaker the um there are places in this world that are higher there's one thing that we have in her Israel that's the lowest point on the globe that's in the Dead Sea yeah who's coming down from shamay leaving ER is here here means to go down to MIT and means speaking to and and and he's telling him you're right from whatever abodh is in he's going down to MIT that idea of going down to MIT you already have in you have the brothers going down right it's there it's all over the place and coming back to ER Canan in brait is to go up to go up so it's not an accident that we call it Aliah been not an accident I mean obviously the early Zionist leaders looked for words that would be biblical and make the point why do you think El calls its plain L because of a PUK that talks about coming to up not only because the plane is up because it's going to take people to so I told my son once that uh when you take people out of it says well you got to change the name so he had a good answer he had a very good answer the talks about that there's a concept that you can go down for purpose purposes of coming back up know it's temporary okay whatever it is it's temporary so here you have where to this is the first time we're going to see this the these locations these nations occupying Palestine at the time are mentioned already in the para we just read the Brit we already have gashi right so say gashi is absent noticeably absent conspicuously absent because what happened was Yeshua sends letters before we conquer ER Kanan and the first letter said you have you have an option option number one is you accept seven and we will regard you and accept after the fact that we're coming in and taking over without a fight without a fight and you will be regarded as g toave a certain status and we will guarantee your your your sustenance your protection and everything you'll be part of the country but you have to be loyal to the am State you don't like that we'll give you a chance to pack your bags and leave and garosi packed their bags and left and if you don't like that we're GNA fight you and we did and it took quite a few Generations because K the Conquering ofel begins in Yeshua and doesn't really culminate till mdash is built 480 years after so it was a long undertaking you know the the Conquering of Earth Israel very long it's still going on good still going on right yeah so what is that every leaks what does it mean what does that mean we say it all the time we sing it what does mean means a land that will be blessed with sweet fruit that's what it means sweet fruit sweet and nutritious fruit that's it's it's a nickname for ER Isel zash I once on a more htic sense explained that there's a world of a difference between uh the shelf life without Refrigeration of milk and honey honey will last on the Shelf me and Beyond and milk without Refrigeration after three four days you're going to know that it's been without Refrigeration is that so what does that mean means Isel is endowed with a dual quality it can last with us forever or it can sour on us and it's going to depend on whether we're going to make it into Das or so that's a sobering thought that it's not just a given but we can guarantee that it's Das if we work at it and if we don't it's going to sour it's going to spoil but means it's a it's going to it's going to have prom it promises us good sweet fruit furthermore this that says from where do we know that we're allowed to eat bees honey bee is a sherit so how can you eat bees honey comes from a sherids and something that come if you have milk from a non-coal animal you can't drink the milk so why can you have the the so the gar gives two answers thear says well if ER Isel is blessed with how can it be TR that's a very interesting even though in the context of the seven [Music] species there it means dates it means dates but here it doesn't mean it means thear says it means Bees honey and if it's Bees honey and is blessed with this there's no way that you can't have it it's like a special special dispensation from above that we're allowed to have honey that's one reason in the the second reason reason in the G is that honey is not an integral part of the physiology of the bee but the bee houses it and makes the honey but it never becomes part and parcel of the bee it's somehow separate this led great people like rosha tendler zat my great biology rebi who said that the same applies to vitamins and he said he explained it to explained it to why vitamins that come from non- kosher animals are Kosher they're even glot kosher has nothing to do with the animal because vitamins are external to the physiology of the organism he said and therefore if you have vitamins that come from liver extract they're parve they're not only kosher but they're parve they don't have a bisar content to them identity to them nor a non- kosher identity to them if the animal happen to been not Kosher so therefore when you get a bottom bottle of vitamin pills and so on and the drug drugstore says you know but we have here you know with as of the badat it's just that it costs twice as much I'm telling you that if it's a pill that you just pop like any aspirin you can take the cheaper variety and it's just as kosher because there's nothing non kosher about vitamins and so too by the way with capsules and the the whole gelatin issue which according to the R's grandfather R from brisk gelatin is actually kosher because it's Shinu it it evolved into gelatin and is not lost its Pig identity if it came from pigs and therefore there's no problem with that with gelatin but R had a big on this and we grew up in America the gelatin was K right until until we came to and and we discovered that the r give sh and confectionary products with gelatin so the but if you have a capsule that you just gulp down so even if it's K TR it's not prohibited because that's not called eating so they have all kinds of capsules of all kinds of different uh food additives and so on that they sell also in a quote unquote kosher variety but um omega-3 right so omega-3 and and there's a box that says kosher right it costs three times the price right but you can take the regular one and just gulp it down there absolutely no halakic issue with it it's not going you know yeah I have no problem if you're paying for the more expensive product is because you want to support the company that has gauged the services of a okay that's okay it's no different by the way no different than hor metton matzas for PES they carry the OU and um and the broer community Rabbi yosf Brer received the first 18 minutes of every morning's production which is a little bit of a you know that's good because even though we clean the machines every 18 minutes we stop the machines and a chemical flow goes through all the pots and breaks down any type of residue dough that might be there and it's Kos PESA but aler as they say first thing in the morning they're they're perfectly clean you can't get cleaner because they clean all the parts at night so R Brer gets the first batch and they sell it with r Brer H at a higher price that's okay if you belong to the Brer community and you want to support the community that's perfectly okay perfectly okay and and there's no reason that uh and a community and everybody knows it's public knowledge that that's what's going on and everybody knows that the brers matzas are ou matzas it's har as Margret everybody knows that also so this is all public knowledge and they up they up the price because they're you're giving a donation for every box of matah that you buy that's okay I have a problem with with has on bottled water for PES you know maybe rash goes on the bottle I don't know what mahadin right I'll tell you when the 2006 2010 10 when I was flying back and forth monthly to Switzerland so I discovered that there was for bottled water for pesak there were two Supermarket chains Coop and migros was called so one of them gave dash for PES in in Zurich but in basil it was the other chain that gave dash for bottled water and people said that if you travel on between new they have to look out for the different company you know and I looked at them and I said you know you're really out of your mind it's the same water it's the same order but the community signed up with one of the chains for for the as if you needed for the water you know for PES but all right you know but but the think that if you had water from the other companies not not Kos anyway so this is but I want to see the medish on number four what the medish says on and I heard the explanation on this medish both from the he wrote it in a spe he said it in a speech and I I wasn't at the speech at a mrai convention you'll hear why it came up there and said it as well this coming M shabas will be his 30th yard side and he said it also on the same medish he may have heard it from above I don't know but um he said the same thing Great Is the Love of by that has exiled himself to the place of means filth spiritual filth why did he do it so that he would redeem them mean was willing to put himself out in places that he with a capital age didn't belong in order to save his children Mas here's the an analogy now gets truma now he has to eat it when he's toor and the truma has to be toor and all of a sudden he sees somebody snatched a bag of truma fruits from his and threw it over the fence in the cemetery now Cen can't get it so what he going to do let the truma fruit rot you're not supposed to do that either that's called I kashim to to destroy something that's holy in all to do that those fruits to be eaten by the coin of course but how can he go into the B don't tell me call somebody else that's not the scenario the scenario is he's alone the truma is on the other side of the fence in the bedar and now he has to make a judgment what to do to leave it alone om May what shall I do how can I become you know to do that that's not that's you can't do that either so he's in a quandry but then he says like this m I prefer I prefer so one shot deal I'll become Tom and I will purify myself there's paruma there is a way to purify yourself from this T so becoming T is an investment it's a correct investment in order to save the truma and the truma won't go down the I be able to save the truma so too with says about our forefathers sees his children as his truma as it says Ines well that doesn't help us it says you have to know the end of the it says they are the first of my crop oh that means it's truma Trum is theit the first which is taking off before you take off anything else that's and my children says are sitting in a cemetery as it says in by every house had somebody died which means the whole MIT is one big Cemetery you know what this reminds me I'm just opening this window for a second please remind me to close it where I'm up to um with regard to kohanim taking the trip to Poland Shapiro was Chief Rabbi in the 80s said the Kanan can't go to Poland at all because the whole Poland is one big Cemetery that's right it's one big Cemetery okay ra said he can't go he just have to know where to go but um but the idea that it's all one big Cemetery the med says it here with regard to and it also says in they were burying every all over Egypt how can I redeem leave them there in Egypt in the filth of can't do that I better is prefer that I go down there to save them as it says I'll go down be and when get them out I'll call and it will Purify Me as it sayses and it says means AR will also atone and purify and cleanse the the holy the holy I mean a reference here obviously in context those mean a little bit something else but at least in this midic usage of the P that the will do what he has to do to get me clean again and that's okay and what do you learn from this you learn from this that sometimes a Jew has to be has to soil himself in order to save Jews so I'll give two applications to this one is I remember this from Rabbi Joseph remember RAB many of you do remember him the the great Rabbi from the Jewish Center the KJ katun not the Jewish Center KJ KJ KJ kilat yurun in the upper e side other side of the of the park right I'm sorry I'm sorry K Jo centa was R lamb R lamb was in Jo Cent right KJ K so he was very over 50 years Rabbi and um and he said that any new and we're talking now in the 30s and the 40s so the Yesa which becomes University so some of the M would take positions in the rabanas where the sh was problematic either separate seating mixed seating separate seating without a m but not a terribly High m or proper all different types of quote unquote problematic shs and Thea was quietly encouraging this Dr Belin second president Isa very much encouraged this and um some people used to suggest because from such shes you had a better shot at fundraising for Wu than at pure Orthodox shoes who are cheap and U he was was probably right on that one uh the U but but Dr but Rabbi lukin said that the going into these shes with the idea of kiru let's try to see what we can do and bring them back was a worthy worthy undertaking so Rabbi izy Miller who was at the time when I was the Yesa vice president of the Yesa and a seasoned sh Rabbi as well in the Bronx the Kingsbridge Jewish Center where he himself started in the sh that was not 100% uh but made it into a sh that was 100% no different than Rabbi Riskin at the Lincoln Square and no different than Rabbi bersan in the young would became then the Young isra of Avenue K but had a different name but it was not like that and other great rabbis who succeeded so Rabbi Miller told us that he did a survey of the Wu guys musim who did take positions in quote unquote problematic shs where were they holding after three years in the ravinet so he said 10% succeeded after three years of turning it around 30% were so he said 20% another 20% were was so so disillusioned that they won't be able to do anything that by the end of the third year they already left the sh they saw it was Abal so that's 30% of the crop and 70% after three years to them it was no longer a problematic sh they got used to the situation okay now he said it in a way that we should understand that this is risky this is risky from many many points of view but what RAB lukin taught us was still in place and and I say it also in today's situation I want to get into a whole discussion now about you know the Army and so on but it is true that sometimes you to save am Israel physically you have to jeopardize something about what you consider your your bubble your spiritual bubble and you have to go out of the spiritual bubble and worry about quote unquote spiritual contamination but have at least as a backup in hand how you going to purify yourself so let's just take yesz as a good example yeser has those things in place of purification that is the guys are going to the Army they're Yeshiva Boys but they're going back to the Yeshiva and while they're in the Army the and the r are going out there to see them all the time and printing all the time no they never lose contact with them so yes it's it's a it's a it's a scen scenario that's far from the the atmosphere of B madash and can potentially be uh be uh catastrophic even can and there' have been cases like that but does it have to be so for sure not and can a p can a person say to I'm sorry I have to worry about my I have to worry about my spiritual health and therefore I have no obligation to save any other Jew that's unacceptable and what the r said at the and why he used this at the M convention he said even political involvement we all know it's not the cleanest Endeavor and he said why did Institute and here the was really sharp in his htic usage because gar says because hands are always busy it means you can be touching something that you don't even realize because hands are busy they're busy but the r played on the word which means a today in modern Hebrew when you say aan means a a political M and it means these are the guys who were involved in the dirty work so that's what the said you have to know how to afterwards you have to know how to clean yourself afterwards but it doesn't mean don't do it and he was encouraging people in the M who are part of the world of Torah to get involved and the had the highest regard for ra who was who was the founder of the movement here in and was and then who was a r of high school then became a in in the near right past Asal rather right between K Mal and ashalon so and he became a member of the KET and there were other benra whatman right and and they became and and they remain clean they remain clean they had to involve themselves in the Dirty Work of the political Arena but they also were able to remain clean and so on and if you look at source number five where the T says in with regard to going out of this is the first of the four expressions of I will take you out Source number six plays on this in the peute in the poem that we said in hosana every single day in the section kosata after we finish going around with the lul and then there's like a poem that we say when we're standing at attention before we put back [Music] the as saved us in the expression I will take you out you can read it with different dots and I have taken myself out yes says I will take you out referring to God taking out is at the same moment says I will take myself out from with you it will can be read with the dots the the grammar so this reflects the idea that was with us in gut and had to bring himself out as well and that's what thear says in Source number seven it says how beloved is went into and it goes and and lists all the various go and will take us out not only will take us out he will have to take himself out of gut as well as the last line say doesn't say it says K is going to have to take himself out of the Goot as well [Music]
