Our shum are dedicated in memory of
Alisha Simman.
>> Okay.
Uh I'm going to refer to
a moxer with our rebel perim on yum
kipa. Uh this particular volume I uh
received berouchia from my father Safar
Lra. Um and it was given to my father on
his 80th birthday by my aunt Libby and
my uncle Rabar Ziggler
in 2006. Okay. So I have this at home
and um there was a particular section
that I'm going to refer to. You're
right,
which is today's sh and we'll see what
the ro had to say about this very
interesting poem. Let me just shut down
the phone. But I played before.
>> That's okay. Now you don't have to shut
it off.
But I played before a version of the
niger.
It's found on the disc that was put out
by Yeshiva Taraton on the 25th
anniversary of the yeshiva. The was
founded in November of 1967 shortly
after the uh six- day war. And uh I was
part of the second year of uh foreign
students, the the hutzikim as we called
it. That was 1972-73.
Before there was even a big campus in
the yeshiva and before there was
anything there were two just uh we call
them just uh huts of sorts and that was
really the yeshiva. Um and one day uh in
the morning seder Raal came over to me
and he saw that I was um like dreaming
you know in Yiddish we say kuluming
kuluming dreaming he tapped me on the
shoulder and he wanted to know why I
wasn't involved in learning I told him
that I had just composed a niggan so he
says now on bish time you compose a
niggan come to my office I want to hear
the niggan
If I like the niggan, you can stay. If I
don't like the niggan, you can pack your
bags and leave.
>> He wasn't serious.
>> He I don't know how serious he was or
not, but I went to the office. I sang in
the niggan from beginning to the end and
he said, "Sing it again a second time
from beginning to the end." And he says,
"Okay, on Shabbat, you're gonna teach
this to the yeshiva and now you can go
back to the bed madrash." This is the
song
in the disc that they put out on the
25th anniversary which many of the brim
the graduates came back and just sang
the songs of Yeshiva and that was put
out on this disc. So they asked me to
come up and you know sing this and they
printed the story that I just told you
on the disc. So this is famous. This is
this story has it's one of these stories
that I didn't even make up. It actually
happened. It actually happened. So many
people are familiar with another version
of song from the yeshivas and I remember
hearing it from my brother's who came
back from carava
which was a different
it was um how was it
and in gush for many many ers they
alternated between the other standard
niggan in the yeshiva world and my
niggan. So the the gush guys know know
the niggan. Even I just spoke to Sam
Carti now. I asked him if he says yeah
this is the gush niggan. He said he knew
it. So I said yeah I have something to
do with it. The um
pointed out before byka
you get to meet it every shabas morning
beforear.
there the
is a little bit different and a little
bit longer than
it includes after
it includes and then you say andaz is
just not there at all in any of the um I
can tell you that there's a variety of
minogim that I picked up from raen
google you know the schlita
so what I just said now is what's pretty
much known and accepted. But there was a
mic in Catalonia which was northeast
which was in Spain and there they said
um every single day before Shamar wasn't
just for Shabbat and then there was a
mig by the
only to say it on Yamaha and which
became basically aashkinaz because the
only time in Ashkanaz you have a is
indeed in the m of yuma for shak as part
of the pim before kadusha. before.
So normally our kadusha is simply either
we're going to say the way it was heard
by the so who heard the
right
open up a book of you see and there it
says
in the in the vision of the chariot He's
hearing the song of the Malikim and
heard a different song.
So that's
so the only ways we know the
is because somebody ees dropped that
was.
So that's why we say
we're going to sanctify God's name. How
are we going to do it
as the heavenly creatures also did? How
in the world do we know about that?
It's written in the open up and you'll
see it.
So that's the the the
says
we will sanctify and so ones
in the sweetness of the voices of the
who have a tripledged kadusha.
Those who were at the university dinner
in 1985 or 1986. So I gave a little talk
on this difference between
that it says
who sanctified your name and in
it's
who have a tripled version the triple
version is absent conspicuously absent
in the kadush of
and even for Shabbat inspired
we
Again the word triple is there.
There happens to be two ways. What?
>> Christianity Christianity
because there was Christians used the
kadosh kadosh kadosh to sing to to
signify that yesahu was alluding to the
trinity the idea of kadosh kadosh kadosh
but um the the and maybe in ashkenaz
they wanted to um that that's a I have
to integrate that point Mary that's very
good point that they wanted to downscale
the kadosh kadosh kadosh but if you look
in the um dot Mikra he brings two
different ways of understanding the
kadosh kadosh kadosh either every malik
said kadosh three times kad kad kad and
if you pay careful attention to
in the morning you have the araic
explanation translation/explanation
and each kadosh is something else which
means each kadosh means something else
and each malak said kadosh in three
times whereas in the other version
each balak said kadosh once except
he started hearing reverberations
kad kad kad he was hearing it from all
sides so that's what he wrote down so
that's why in the
it's the tripleedged
the says three
seems to indicate that each mala only
said it once for sure. There's no
indication that he said each malaf said
it three times. So this is just
something of interest. So you have um
this is going to be important where the
where the is placed on yum kipa before
kadusha. It's before kadusha. It's like
an intro. It's one of the putim that
introduces kadusha on yum kipa in the
morning. Um, there are some communities,
as I said, that only say it on. And
there were some communities that
actually said it just on Shabbat and and
just on again before Shamar and there
were some communities that seem to have
had it every single day before Shamar as
a weekday type of P.
Most of the people have it. I mean,
everybody has it. Some asar people have
it for Shabbat before.
And in the encyclopedia they added that
on
one of the songs that we like to sing in
in the in the middle of we take a break
in the middle of is
and somebody gets up and he says before
he says either in in Hebrew, English,
Yiddish, Chinese, whatever
and
to whom and to whom and I remember in
They taught me the French. Just uh I
should be in tune with uh some of the
people. Besid
now the um
it was the Maharil.
Maharil is uh one of the 15th century
posk of Ashkanaz who really sets the
tune for Minik Ashkanaz until this very
day. says absolutely should not be said
except for Yamaha because we're going to
see that this is another
that was heard
by the Malahim singing somebody heard it
and somebody recorded it and it's an
angelic song and the only day during the
year that ael
has a status of a mala is on yan kipa
once a year you you enjoy a certain
status of upgrade to being a mala and
then you have the right to say it. It's
almost similar to the vilgoyne's
injunction against singing anims wrote
the whole year and just have it for yam
kipa. So we mentioned this when we did
the animi wrote. So here too we have a
very very particular song um that's um
was composed by dot dot dot dot. So here
on the page it says muas le so I
explained once what mukas means
attributed to attributed to means we
don't have a clue but maybe we have a
clue but we're not absolutely sure uh
and it says muas to
Wow. That is Ramen Ram Yeshu from the
Mishna. We we know him. We've met him
already
>> in the Tanya story that he when he went
into the kesh kuresim. So this isn't
Rabisho
of contemporary of Rabby or maybe it
might be because they live through at
the end. Soish goes into the keshim and
kadoshbu asks
give me a brahi right okay so and we're
going to review this whole thing so this
is rishmal ben Alicia now this rabish
and alicia coingad
shows up in the story of the escar of
the mut the 10 mrs where rishmal is one
of them the coingadul and the other
turned to him and they ask him to use
the God's fourword four-letter name
Shame Hamurash to intercede and find out
what's going on. Do we deserve this to
be executed? Because here you have this
Roman officer coming and saying, "Look,
you know, the the 10 sons of Yoseph sold
Yseph and nobody paid the price. So
maybe somebody now the time has come for
you to pay the price." And hears from
the other side,
you have to accept this. And uh it's
you have to accept this. And that you
have to try to I'm not going to go back
now to the ESA. I'm just pointing out
that this was the same
Benisham
Coad who has this ability to tune in to
something that's happening on the other
side of the fence. We'll just call it
that way. and the upper uh side top side
of the fence. Tune in a little bit.
There is a book called
the word means chamber
and meav. The minute you hear the word
meava, you know this is cababalistic.
And even the word is going to be
cababalistic.
So you can pick it up in the national
library copies of the safer healot. It's
a very very early cabalistic writing who
authored it. So, as usual, differences
of opinion, but it certainly predates
the middle ages, which means it's not
from the days of Rashi or or even
earlier Rashi. Maybe from the days of
the Gonim Rabison,
maybe a little bit earlier than that,
postgra 6th, 7th century. That could
make sense as well. But there are those
who claim that it even it's even earlier
than that and takes us back to the days
of the Mishna and the Tanim and Moim.
And one of the characters that not only
features in Sephot,
but you seem to get the opinion that he
had something to do with authoring this
was Rabishel Benicia Coadul. And having
said that,
there is a section where he's talking
about hearing the malim sing the sh of
kadosh kadosh kadashem
almost reminiscing the experience of
except that before the malim got to kad
kad kad
they sang another song
and coadul transcribes it for Jennifer
for posterity. So this is the
traditional
uh approach to who may have authored the
aderto. I I say it with some degree of
reservation because to absolutely prove
this is going to be impossible. But
until somebody comes up with something
better, it's um this is this is makes a
lot of sense. It also makes a lot of
sense why it became integrated into
liturgy as being a preamble for kadosh
kadosh kadosh as from malim from malim
singing.
If you look at the page of the song
itself that I have here, I have two
versions of it.
The top part is the version that we are
familiar with in
the second source where it says again
there are certain phrases that are
highlighted because they are different
versions. Now different versions
is not something strange. We have shinu
different versions of certain words here
and there. We've pointed this out in the
past. We have Shinu in Putim. We've seen
this in the last year and a quarter.
Different versions because things are
transcribed from generation to
generation and they move they cross
borders and sometimes
things slip up in the transmission. This
is all could be a function of human
error. It could be a function of tikun
of correction. No, it can't be this
word. It's got to be the other word.
Something of this nature. But whatever
it is, there is another version here of
the um
and it's that second version that I have
printed on the page is what's found in
the safer.
So that's of interest. In other words,
what we have in our siturim is 90%
matches the safer but there are 10%
shinu. So let's take it from the top and
then also look at source number one
between the sandwich between the two
versions of the
it says
you have it and it says
here he is ready
the most proud of the birds that were
created was the was the eagle. I know
that in modern Hebrew eagle is ayat and
neesher in modern Hebrew is a vulture.
But don't tell that to any adler who
heized the name to neer because anybody
who did adler in German yiddish is an
eagle and and and that was translated as
there were here inites
who were born adlers and they heized the
name. So
The form of aer of an eagle
is on the throne. Your throne on God's
throne.
You have established on your throne. Now
this all comes from
from dem
where he describes in great detail what
the throne of the chariot next to the
throne of God and has four figures and
one of them is the neesher pesher
the face of the eagle
khalen kesher the face is light like the
neeshair of kesher flying like a neer
traveling
and and everybody is fearing this. This
is this has something to do with the
mode of the angels standing before
Kadosh in absolute fear and apparently
the the
was that which emitted that fear.
In case you didn't you missed the point
here, it's triple-edged this kadusha
as it is written.
Okay, so going to this version it's like
and that's not an accident that picked
up on the cabalistic tradition.
The kidic world picked up on the
picked up on the cabalistic tradition.
You know there's only one kidic sect
that
it's in my neighborhood in Kat theoy.
>> Why? Because they come from the katam
sofair who was born in
>> Frankfurt.
>> Frankurt.
the
are the only sect that
and they'll say
because the rebba was a grandson of the
who was born in Frankfurt Germany. So
Frankfurt Germany in the same era had
Shamshalh and the Katam Sophair who had
opposing ideas on how to deal with
modern uh the modern world
>> Shriber Cipher. Oh yeah. The family name
became the family name became so far is
a is a writer right that's correct
that's correct. So but most of
which is based on cababalistic and you
see right here this is a cabalistic
source
in case you missed the point it's three
it's three it's triple kak as it says
kadashem.
So this now is the source of the in
it continues with this version. Let me
just drop down to after
it says
and by
What's kus?
>> Kus kus means uh kus kus means
praise. Praise is another word for
praise. So I'm just pointing out that
you've got these different versions. But
now let's go back to the traditional up
on top of the page and let's read it.
Let let me just read a few lines from
the RV on found in the
right. He translates strength and
faithfulness
are his who lives eternally.
This is a central pute of Shaharit
because it is this pute that is recited
daily by the angels and according to
tradition Rab heard it in a dream that
the angels sang to Hashem. This is now a
different tradition other than the
that posits that it's
there is an in the midrash that it was
Rabishm's contemporary Rabaka got this
in a dream okay but we know the age we
know the era we're talking about the
first generation after the destruction
of the second Bdash actually they lived
through it they lived through it they
were barpla right they argued with each
other pretty often Rabaka and Raish and
the whole methodology of Midashim is
different. There's the bait midrash of
rabaka, the b madrash of rabishel and
and they are different but all right so
the ro mentions this particular
tradition and he continues the creation
of man was in some sense a sacrificial
act on the part of the almighty kadoshu
sacrificed some of his space if you want
to call it he endowed man not only with
his image but with his numerous skills
all these attributes such as Those
listed here in the
belong to God.
But God in his generosity bestowed some
of them on man. Man is a productive
creative being possessing many great
attributes but they all truly belong to
God who simply allowed man to consider
himself master and lord with a cap with
a small L lord over his environment. Rob
said this in a shir in 1956
just to give us a little bit of a
tasting of the hashkafa the ideas of
what's behind this particular song.
So it has to do with the midot the
character that a kadosh exhibits to this
world. So there's a mitzvah in the
Torah. It's found in
the
you shall follow his ways. And the Ram
counts it as one of the 613 mitzvah. And
the question is what is it mean? What
what what are God's ways that we have to
imitate? So help the sound a little bit.
Take a look at the it says that he's
as he is compassionate.
You should be compassionate.
He's patient. You should be patient.
He clothe those who need clothing. So
you should too.
As he does all these things, so shall
you pick up on it.
That's why the thear says
you might think like seven what do I
call it? 7-day evangelist
adventist that that you know if God made
somebody sick let it be you know they
took it to the US Supreme Court that
somebody doesn't want a transfusion he
wants to die because if this is God's
will that's rzak you can't do that if
you don't save somebody it's you you've
killed him and the Torah says
you shall heal if somebody's wounded and
the says
that the doctors have permission and the
raw further permission.
Well, the Ram was part of the doctor's
union, so he had to stick up for the for
the doctors. No.
The Ramom uses the word. It's obligatory
for a doctor to to heal to try to heal
because we are actually following in the
footsteps of
the Israel, the healer. That means you
have to become a healer. That's what it
means. And here we are seeing different
of right. So you have
ad means ad
means tremendous right
doesn't mean here the ader sometimes
means the mantle of adarto
here it means um the the the very very
symbol of being the strongest adar
god is the source of faith the source of
faith
So
is sometimes translated it's to you God
who lives forever. To you God who lives
forever. And um and sometimes it's if we
want to know where we can find these
characteristics
turn to God
with
look to God. Look towards God and you
will get the picture where he is the
ader and amuna bina and braha
where kadosh is the source of wisdom the
source of
the source of braha and I'll just say
parathetically that the author of the
when he talks about in the context of
he says when we say
That doesn't mean blessed art thou God.
You're giving God a braha. He doesn't
need your braot. So what are you doing
giving him a braha? So the answer says
the is you're reading it wrong. It's
you God are the source of the braha.
That's why we're turning to you.
It's just a syntax issue. You have to
read it properly.
You God are the source of the bra. So
there's food here. It's because you saw
to it that there'd be food here. There's
good tidings. You saw to it that there
would be good tidings. You are the
source of the braha. In the discussion
that we had with Ben Alicia and akadu
asks the adult to give him a beni. So
there the RAV had this whole idea how
as if to say we use the word as if to
say shrivels up and wants human beings
to take an initiative almost to say
sitting on the sideline get up you man
get up and do something don't just sit
back and wait for me to do it and this
was the understanding you give the braha
to me don't wait for my braot but it's
the same concept that I'm just saying
now somebody's sick. Okay, you're going
to go to a doctor. Yes, you turn to that
the doctor should know what he's doing.
That's always so also important. No
doubt the doctor should have the right
idea, the right diagnosis and and and
take it from there. But God is the
source of
if you look at the other side on the
page. So from
it says
right? You have a puka
where um
the the this is part of the u it's a
it's a shir that uh that yes was saying
and gay is from the word exalted. I
don't I don't want to use the word pride
but it's exalted and that's why the
worddullah
doesn't mean uh arrogance. It should not
be translated as arrogance. We somehow
got used to that translation because of
the muser movement where they spoke
about ga gava bala balgava where in
modern Hebrew we have a uh um a slang.
It's called avitzah.
So if somebody called you avitzah you
should know that was not polite. It's
not polite. It's a projorative term to
somebody's avitzer. Means is a showoff.
That's a showoff. An arrogant person.
That's not what
is arrogant. It means exalted. So
exalted. So he's the
second
>> correct in the second version. They I I
overlooked highlighting this.
Um the word gava is not even there but
it's gur.
So now I just want to cite the following
p. Turn to source number four on the
second cage from yim perked. Everybody
knows this p from the sid. If you come
to shul every morning, you're invited to
6:15 and join the six seven other women
in theatim,
right? And um what you
>> you can come
>> join the women.
>> You No, no, don't join the women. You
can join the men downstairs. You can
join the 20 20 men downstairs. Right.
>> What time?
>> 6:15,
>> but on Thursday it's at 6:05. Okay. So,
tomorrow 6:05, not for you.
>> No,
>> I'm okay.
>> Betta,
most of the women started as kadeshers
but stayed. But stayed. I should stay.
Yeah. So um we say inavid
we say this from
I mean this is really spelling it out
about you are the great you are the most
heroic if you want to call it that or
the strongest the most um terret how do
you translate terret neta
>> glorious
There seems to be synonymous. Each one
has something something else.
You are everything in heaven and earth.
You are the master. You are the royalty.
You know, some kings, some prime
ministers, some some leaders, they think
they're the boss, right? Some defense
ministers, whatever, they think they're
the boss. But let's not let's move away
from current events for a moment.
is is above all the other bosses. He's
the boss of the bosses.
This puk impacted on quite a few
phrases. Quite a few phrases in of the
um of the of the aderto. So we'll see it
here. It's gdullahabdullah.
And we have a little uh we just uh uh
scale uh you know scroll down a little
bit
that's hod is there and then you have
you have
and you have at the end
and so practically every single word
from that puk from draamim that we have
in
is there. It's found in the
that's not an accident.
When was Bat David
in put into the sitter? Now you know
when you study sid so you have to start
from the ane kessa tagdullah two and a
half thousand years ago beginning of
beni and you talk about the skeleton of
the sides
then you have kachma and the braot in
the mishna they have this already days
of the that's all there in the days of
the there's already
with aar
and
concluding
But what is the the core? What is the
from the days of the is from the per
that we call ash which the ash comes
from a different chapter. The chapter
starts
and and so on until
which is the so that's the per of and
then if you open up aim the next peric
the next peric the next paric
concludes tim with hanel
hallelujah that's the final p of tilim
and why do we say it twice Of course
it's because you don't want to end it.
>> Y.
So is that your thought? You thought it
now.
>> It's your thought.
>> Right.
Right.
>> Right. Because Riff has been here for a
few years already. And we have harped on
the idea that it is impossible to exit
saying halu.
Yes,
who is capable of properly articulating
every word of praise to God. Whatever
you say is not even going to get to a
small down payment. So it's all
downright insulting to say anything. So
the answer is we have an exit strategy
and the exit strategy is found in the
Mishna in suk with regard to halal. Not
only on sukkot but anytime we say hal we
endal by repeating the lastim
it says
the places that have the custom to
double the lastim we double today
everybody does it
until
that's the exit strategy and that is
look I said the I'm saying it again I
should really say it a zillion times. I
just can't. I'm a human being. I'm
limited in time and space. And we're
asking a kadosh to consider the second
time as to as an etc etc etc dot dot dot
dot dot. It's at infin item just goes on
and goes on. So every time a safer comes
to an end we of we double the last. Why?
Because tora is not only study but it's
also praise that we have the Torah. That
is why if a person does not understand
the text of Tanakh but reads it like a
parrot, there is some level of
fulfillment of the mitzvah of Torah
study without any understanding what
whatsoever as opposed to the oral lawn
and anything goes. If you don't
understand the basic what you just read,
it's zero of a mitzvah. You can't just
read a Mishna as if it's a p of tumm.
But if you read tillum and you don't
understand what we just read, it counts
as something. And the reason it counts
as something because there's an element
of halal whenever we read Torah and that
you have in the itself. It's not a a
halic thought. The Torah teaches us in
to write a
let's not get too excited.
So first it's a song and it's also
teaching and it's both
has a dual quality to it and asal you
have to you you can't exit it. So DV had
an unbelievable understanding what
happens when you get to the end of a
what we do is the person gentleman who
gets the last aliyah everybody stands up
and you say
what does that mean
nice no
and they're going to be those are going
to go
not why because it's
says venit
Eloh that's what it says. Okay, whatever
you say, you say. Comes to RV and says
that wasn't the original Min the M. And
he he showed that early prince of
there was it said Kazak like in our it
says Kazak doesn't say it says
except in the early prince it was an
abbreviation. It said and aim
that means it was an abbreviation of
Kazan and Kahal.
Kazan and that means when the bal came
to the end of
the end of the read the last puk and the
kahal read the last
this was like repeating the lashe
because the balky is not supposed to
read it twice it's just one reading from
the point of view of of creator but the
kahal chimes in with the last puk to
repeat it as if no ending. No end
>> stop doing
>> why. Yeah.
>> So in what we do is because the very
last p is is is a is not a positive
note. So we actually repeat the second
to the last and we do this
and we do it also when a person has ma
if he gets ones which is the end of it's
pervy.
So again the last p is not as optimistic
as we'd like it to be. So we repeat the
second to the is going to repeat that
second to the last
and so on. So too for cohellet cohellet
the second to last is is is repeated and
and and
everybody repeats
everybody that's the minor
reads last everybody reads that last and
this is all part of the general idea of
kazanahal kazanahal and um and and so so
when you say
what you have is ending the book of tim
and that's why we say
twice that's why it's there and that was
the end of
now comes in the middle ages add-ons so
the Rambam he knows about saying
oash he knows about it except he doesn't
know about it in the place that we have
it in the before
he knows about
after before. So you have this what we
call in Hebrew the te the seam between
and
so
we throw in a permal
that we say with great fervor
between
and some included also on.
So we have this little place this space
in the sid between and for something. So
according to the Rambam the something
every day was and then he says and some
community said
every day
that's another shir and some community
said both you know those who are
pensioner you know had plenty of time to
sit and sh they can have both and the
Ram says
just do what the community does and let
it go. Now later on they move that
back into
before. If it's before means it becomes
part and parcel of
but where does end? It doesn't end with
that's where it ends in the sither where
does it end in the
and that's why we say it twice inirm
and in parenthesis it has translation
where some communities said
twice in Hebrew and some communities
said
and the repeat was in Aramaic. Okay. So
you have it in now today people think
they get extra brownie points in
everything even what's in parentheses
but that's okay. It's not a you can do
that. So what is
it's a cut and paste job from musf on
rashashana in the bra of malot because
you have 10kim of malot and what is the
first puk of malot after the kazin said
the the the the the entire uh uh section
of uh of of of after Elen Lab and and
and then we have uh um he he starts with
starts with not before not
like yeah
not love no no no where he brings all
the sukim of uh of uh before he gets So
before he gets to after
and that becomes then the signal
see my mind hasn't gone completely can
re can say the whole thing that
for
citation number one.
And then it says
venar var. So if you have another
tubukim from and then you have sukim
from and then you haveim from the
from the in that order. And then we have
another from the which is
so what you have there after
jumping to the
it's
and then the
from
and some have in small print.
All this is just an abbreviated synopsis
of what happens to
onfash
and somehow another it got transferred
back to it. And one of the reasons was
we were at the level of tom. The whole
was to heal him.
Now all of a sudden we jump to the
Israel. All right, let let's bring it
down. Let's bring it down again to so we
start quoting these from and as they say
in gum expression
once once we're already quoting from the
musf. So a few you know hitchhikers came
along for the ride.
But the whole reason that we downscaled
from
was to go back to the level of of that
that that's why it was done like that.
But the reason that the was doubled was
because that was repeating the hal of
just like we repeat
all this in preparation to vive.
Where did varavid come in? It came in in
the 13th century by the cabalistic group
known as the yord meava yord mus who
came down from the chariot. It's a great
name as they were up there. They were up
there in the chariot of Yeescali
and they came down to this world and
they brought the concept of the seven
concentric circles
which are gurifed
and
above these seven you have the upper
threema
and kabad. That's where the word came
from. Come from the upper three strata
of the and the yavas believed that to
get to a kadu you have to cross the
boundaries of all of these concentric
circles. Now there are two ways to move
a car. One is manual transmission and
one is automatic transmission. Most cars
today are manual transmission, but
automatic transmission, but once upon a
time, you can still buy a manual
transmission with a clutch and a gear.
You can still do that.
The yava believed that there's manual
transmission. You need a clutch to move
from toret
and so on. What is the clutch? Music.
Music. You get yourself into a trance, a
spiritual trance through music and you
move up the ladder. And they believed
that there were a handful, a handful of
very highly spiritualized people who had
automatic transmission and were able to
move up the rungs without the music.
They're called litox.
I'll tell you the truth. I once heard a
shir from my great Rabbi Rabar
Likenstein who quoted Dav's brother
Rabar Salvichek who quoted the Balatana
the author of the Tanya Schneadi the
founder of Kabad who said that there
were three types of nigun there was a
niggan with words there was a niggan
without words a higher level and the
highest level was a niggan without a
niggan and Raaran just went on and after
the year I went over to him I said I
have an idea of what the niggan without
a niggan is he said I said it's a lit
for shenanigan. So a lit shenanigan
because
he got it. He laughed. He thought it was
funny. But the truth is when I read
about
and read about the ordeav the niggan
without a niggan was the highest level
of being able to get to without the use
of the musical clutch without that use.
So you have
and they picked the section of
that had these concentric circles and
they said we will say it every day to
stimulate the the the engine to make the
moved
to get to know you don't have all of
them and they're all not in the exact
order, but most of them are in the order
and most of them are there. And this is
why they put the varid section into the
sther as as a as an an oral as as an
oral method of tuning ourselves to get
into the mode of jumping from
and arrive at and arrive at. So this is
why this got there and that is why this
which is completely cababalistic
has all of the factors of the seven
concentric circles there right? So if
you go back to the to the um the poem
is there vad vik vad usually means a get
together a committee of sorts but a
committee vad also has to do with
appointment. You make an appointment for
a committee which means the timing bu
has absolute timing. timing. Now, I'm
just going to give you an example of
what I mean by timing. The um
theor tells us what did a kadosh do
after the destruction after the um he
created the world.
>> What did a kadosh do? He took vacation,
right? He's a early pid.
>> So, says he makes very good says he
makes now according to one understanding
never completed the creation.
It's ongoing. And you know who agrees
with this? Einstein. Because it's an
expansion. The universe is constantly
expanding. Which means the process of
the creation of the world has actually
not stopped. But for the point of view
of mortal man on on planet earth, it
came to an end with the ending of with
Shabbat.
Fine. So what does do says correct that
you're busy making and then it says
it's like murder to do make a good it's
not an easy thing it's like splitting
the Red Sea
one second how hard was for
it wasn't murder for us it's murder but
for it was nothing so what does it mean
so Ram tells us in the guide to the
perplexed that all of the miracles that
we call supernatural miracles were
actually also anchored in natural law.
And he speaks about the Torah says
very strong western gust poured from the
west and and and and the and and it
split. Now you know everybody can do
this at home in a laboratory experiment.
Take a nice big shisel, fill it up to
the top with water, and take a
high-speed fan and hold it on top of the
f the water. You're going to see ka jams
right there, right in front, because the
force of the air is going to split the
water and half is going to split out,
you know, pour out. That's what's going
to happen because the pressure of the
air is going to do it. So, a kadoshu did
something that was highly unusual. what
on CNN they call a they have a word for
for uh for for very special uh weather,
you know, unusual weather. What's what's
the word they use? They they they have a
they have a phrase for it. What
>> perfect storm?
>> No, no, no. They have a phrase for for
for type of weather that's I forgot for
for for unusual unusual type of weather
condition. So obviously this was a
highly unusual meteorological phenomenon
but it was a meteorological phenomenon
nevertheless.
So where was the miracle? The timing
that did it for at that split second
that they needed its
many times we know that a fellow goes
out on a date, nothing happens. Fine.
The guy moves on to the next uh name or
phone number that he has and so on.
Three years later, they get together and
they get married. What happened three
years ago? The timing wasn't right. It
has to do with timing. That's it.
So this is the
keeps the timing and the the timing has
something to do with contemporary and
vatik has to do with stuff that's
happened already
things of old
things are absolutely pure and and shiny
if everything is absolutely pure
strength defense and strength means
strength defense and means strength.
Teas.
So teas means order. That's why we call
a ceremony a teas because it's in order.
There's a program to a teas, right? And
you always when the guy finally says at
the end, Tom Tees. I used to think that
was his name. Tom Teus, right? Tom Tees.
He is the one who we say to. We are we
say Hashem is
and we fear him.
He's the one with the throne and the and
the honor is the
is the source of the Torah.
>> Okay. And the the libou lif means
attraction. It has to do with le that
that a kadoshbahu pulls you. He he it's
attractive. Kadoshbahul pulls people
towards him. And boy doesn't he there's
no atheist in a foxhole. You know who
said that? A British a British
chaplain in the 19th century in the
British army. There's no atheists in a
in a French in a in in a foxhole. When
the when the mortars are falling all of
a sudden there no atheists. Everybody
believes in God right then and there
right governing that's all God
right that's why we say when we see a
kingto
God gave something over from his glory
his majesty to human beings and this is
what the is saying all of these
characteristics are also human. They're
not human. They're divine. Except that
is willing to share them with us.
The beauty and the forever permanent,
right? There's no there's no and and in
poetic language, a sin is permissible to
replace a
time. All the time.
It's interesting that in the second
version it's
and they have and they have a for the
first one right so means goa it means
height height and I have the puk in the
second page I'm just going to read
quickly
this became a book of the rov that was
put out postumously with this name and
that is majesty and humility it's all
This is the
that we playing the role of angels on
Yamipa are permitted to singer
in any nun variation that you may have.
Okay. My apologies for overshooting the
1015 line said.
