Parshat Beshalach and Tu B'Shvat 5784 2024: Extraction from Exile By Rabbi Ari Kahn

so today is Tu Bish T Shin P doid so I would assume that anybody who's going to kind of try to Pivot and do some kind of a tu bishan thing with this week's par so then the way that you do it is you go to per CU hey we water the the water we have water but it's not sweet which also goes to How We complain so most likely you would do something with this how somehow the tree the nature takes away the bitterness by the way bitter is marah marah in gatri is 240 240 in gatria is amalik which actually may be quite interesting or important but I am getting way ahead of myself so I said that's that that is the proverbial loow hanging fruit so why would we go for the low hanging fruit even on uh on tubish fad so let's go back and I'm going to I'm going to try to do something which I've done before so for their complete apologies even though when I did it before I did it completely differently and I'll explain that as we go on and that is what I did last time is I really focused on something that the vill lagone said and I I try to then connect it to other things the vill lagone said and then try to show how the villon has a particular teaching over here but you don't understand what I'm saying yet cuz I'm getting way ahead of myself and I'm not going to go there and which is why it's going to be a bit different today even though I'm going more or less down the same path but I'm saying it's more or less there's a there's a there's a there's a less rather than than more so I I will I will explain all of this one more thing about Tu bishvat and that is that you know downstairs anybody wants to join they're having some kind of a t bishvat celebration they're planting non-fruit bearing something which is completely Preposterous for anyone who needs to know the first person who had this wonderful idea to plant on tubish bat was in 1890 a fellow named zavitz who you may recognize from his 14 volume history series of uh of Jewish history you may not recognize him from that either but uh what he was teaching something which I I would say is like high school and he had this great idea let's get a day off today and let's go outside and then it was adopted by the teachers union teachers union said wow this is a good idea and just just just recognize the real issue and that is that there's no holidays for a stretch of time here especially when you have two adors then like you need some kind of a day off so this became like a really good idea there's a letter from of cook by the time he's back but but see that's actually authentic or or or when I say authentic in a limited sense because in the Middle Ages it was debated whether you say or not the only thing there is about about which is authentic is that it is De and that's it's demarcation about Trum which means you can't give trod masro from one year to the next so one is the year over so the year is over this one presumably this is the time of year that this part is true it's when things start to grow again so therefore the new fruit that grows you can't take truma from the new fruit from the old fruit on the old fruit from the new fruit this is a demarcation which means it's not a holiday for trees that's the terrible secret it's a holiday for the fruits of the trees so uh planting some bulbs is a really nice thing to do and uh it's a holiday which has this wonderful combination of some cabalistic sources some probably shabatian shapit sources probably probably probably made up the Seder and um and then you have this whole Zionist infusion as well so if you want I gave a whole lecture on this and I can direct you to it but you don't have to waste your time now cuz now you you you now you heard now you heard the the bottom line you heard it on a scale of 1 to 10 what was it it was good it was it was a little depressing it no after 25 years of doing fers you know it's only depressing if your expectations are high take down your expectations and then it would be wonderful so so now now we're going to start and of course when we talk about trees which I already told it's not really about trees it's about the fruit of the trees but when we talk about trees you know where we go to look for our fruits and we're going to start with Source number one which is the Chun Zohar and it starts with and this is a Hebrew translation because I have a little bit of compassion for you so take a take a deep breath now and let's try to understand this when it comes to the tree of so this should be obvious if it's to Bish which trees we're talking about about or the fruits of which trees so when it's when you talking about the tree of the you need to do a separation between good and bad another way or a different terminology other than per separation again there's a Hebrew translation would be to do a borer is one of of course the 39 which somehow is connected to agricultural things where you separate good from bad you separate or right you take away the bad and then and then you leave the good so over here also the separating now this may be what do you separate you separate the good from bad The Bad from good so we don't know yet so what the Zohar is saying over here is yeah and by the way this is the tun Z so remember there tun taking place over here so the the the tun the fixing over here is the separation between the good and the bad which is the separation between the light and darkness now light and darkness is pretty Stark so the separate between light and darkness should be something which is not so challenging you need to separate the bad so that the person was left with the good and there's no which means theoretically was ingesting from the which gave us so now I know that that's a little chall in so so so FOC Metatron is an angel stay on leave Metatron for a moment me over here means 49 it's the 49 which really emerges from the essential aspect of the name Metatron is the 49 he which means separating between good and bad pure and impure there is toor and there's T so there's a number of places in kazal that speak about the 49 levels of T 49 T and by the way let's remember because part of what we want to get back to is leaving Egypt and leaving in in leaving Egypt you know this cabalistic idea that we sunk down to the 49th level of tum so over here now realize also leaving Egypt if we are in the midst of Tuma part of what we're going to need to do to leave Egypt is to somehow emerge separate to to to extract ourselves that's the word to extract ourselves from that from that Tuma now it could have been before I started saying all this we all imagine that leaving Egypt is something which is geographical or leaving Egypt is something which is political or leaving Egypt is something perhaps which is economic but over here it's talking about something which is completely spiritual and we haven't gotten to Egypt yet all that we've gotten to so far is that when you separate something good for bad I mean later on we're going to learn in the Torah when it speaks about certain sexual outrages it says and don't do the practices in Egypt which means no you need to separate not just from Egypt but from Egyptian you right right MIT you need to separate from as well and you cannot have taken that out with you that's something which has to be left far behind so again what we have over here is this PUD or laer and he's starting with Metatron Metatron is actually really interesting because if you happen to have it home I know some of you don't but if you happen to have it home a book which is called Malon which is an encyclopedia of angels it's written by Ruben molio it's published by m RAV cook and he has half the book on good Angels half the book on bad demons and you can find metatrone a lot a lot of material metatrone very very popular Angel it's made it into comic books and so on and Metatron is very good PR on metatrone metatrone according to at least one source used to be a person who lived during a time of darkness and that person was Kan everyone was evil and K was good so there was a beor that took place and if you read the tan on the P there that that he no longer is among those that live below those who are this generation of wicked people rather he goes up and he becomes somebody who is good so again this idea of the Peru and mentioning Metatron and me mentioning that Metatron represents the 49 levels of panim Shel now also the panim over here is interesting because one of the ways that Metatron is going to be described is going to be the S anybody who read my book on the letters or for that matter if you read the a without reading my book rounds on the letters about Alisha Ben Aya when he goes up into heaven during whatever Vision that is of parades is that he sees Metatron whose job it is to write all the things so he is the one whose job it is to write the Good Deeds of Israel and because Alisha B Nya had a bad day then all of his Good Deeds got thrown away and that is definitely a bummer so so this job that he has is described in some places is as the Sim you have the m and then you have the sarim and the sarim is the one who's in charge of all kinds of things now all that may be important for another reason which I will already tell you now if you look on Source number one sorry if you look on footnote number one just to save space we did some footnotes here now this is a footnote just directly dealing with who metatrone is so this's a book called called the Z the Zai is is relatively more recent it is uh written by a great and he writes that from Kamar you need to know which is telling you right away and now the other thing that we always seem to get back to other than gav is to getting back to yosf ysf is also the s name yosef's job down here below somehow is connected to metatron's and they're both called n that's part of what that n and this is also he's young and he's taken and so on which is again all is relative but now you realize there's this y aspect if you look right under that a book called The mot he writ which is the best name I think of any book ever written y because Metatron is also called and yep is called and therefore this connection between Y and which hopefully now you realize took us right back to this week's para it's the spiritual power of Y which now you realize is also connected to Metatron so maybe now you think you understand a little bit let's go back to the First Source now some don't even like pronounce it which is the 49 levels of Sorry 4 Ked right our invitation so if you look at the footnote on on him of so what what you're back to now when I talk about this PUD or this Bor this extraction it would seem to be that things need to be extracted when they are completely fused together which means this connection and maybe it's maybe this is simple maybe it's not simple but the separation between Yakov and asov is a profound separation RI could be able to be prepared for that she needs a prophecy to be able to understand that there needs that there is a separation and they're going into two different directions so now what's important about so far we got to like four lines in this source and all and what we understand is that we need there to be a separation we didn't get to Egypt yet we understand part of this basic separation is going to be ultimately between Yakov and ASV but it's interesting because some of us know and maybe we'll see some of it later later on this is just a little foreshadowing that when it comes down to the war against asov it's actually going to be for by Yosef or for that matter mashiah Ben ysf and so on so therefore the existence here right here Metatron in SEL which means this Angel which somehow represents this good Angel somehow represents Yosef and then something represents asov the power then these are these powers and they need to be separated they need to go in different directions so therefore at least maybe some of us can understand a little bit of where this is going omish and hey represents of course God one of the names of God so what and what's the five now what happens when we add five to the me what do you end up with don't tell don't give me a numerical answer because it's wrong M me and he becomes a m and what of course is a m a is the staff which means we talked at the very beginning of getting rid of and getting rid of all the T and and being able to get rid of the to get rid of the so how do you do this you need to give your right in order to be able to do this you need you need to align to Torah you need to align to places of Purity and when Torah aligns with Purity then you suddenly have this magical ability to be able to get rid of thear now so far that is what the Z has been telling us why why the is the sorry so you take now again it writes Elohim here take away the yud or add the yud and we'll see what happens if you take away the y or we take away the he for that M that matter and that's why it's always called MIM because this goes together now what you now may have recognized is yeah we're talking about the eight of haran yeah we're talking about separation but now you realize that the that the metaphor which has been used is a metaphor which comes right out of our leaving Egypt story and and that's really what we're up to is leaving Egypt even though I may believe that we're talking about tubish but now we're up to leaving Egypt and now we're there with the m and all of you have heard again that cabalistic idea that we sunk down to the 49th level and now you realize why that is connected to all this as well the one who has the M that's recogn that that's connected letter V is always a connector V always means there's a connection right yes a is a in the mishan the word v is are all the connectors theim are connectors the letter V connects the the two things so is always a connector he and the connection over here is that once a person does all this then they're able to make a Brit with God and the Brit with God means and which is after we mess up after the that that that never comes back empty now you're wondering what is is somebody who can't speak but is elim without the hay in the ud so you just now removed that hay and just now remove the and now what you're left with is had it not been for the God right the god of then I would have left empty-handed now there's a subtlety to this and again I want to read a little bit more but there's a subtlety to to what's going on here and that is we're talking about first of we're talking about our Shas secondly we're talking about leaving Egypt and the makot and then what we're talking about now is Yakov and if and Yakov would have gone empty-handed had it not been for God because it says that changed his wages 10 times notice the word 10 10 is going to be connected to myod and therefore L was unable to speak remember God comes to him the night and tells him you can't say anything good or bad you can't speak anymore his ability to speak is taken away on the other hand let's keep in mind something else what is the kak of yov yov so Yakov goes in Praise And therefore he doesn't go empty-handed on the other hand lovan is left without an ability to speak again speak without the ability to speak and therefore without t but somebody who knows how to pray somebody who knows how to pray properly will not ever come back empty-handed there's different ways of accessing or having to feel go to God and the only ones who know how to direct their or the ones who know the secrets of the Torah so first of all I want to assure you that when I taught this last time I did not teach the tukun Zohar this is not where I started I I I may have mentioned one line in passing but that's why I'm saying that today I'm going in a slightly different direction what I did is really went into a bit more into Source number two and Source number two is the commentary of the vill neon to this passage in toor and he says something which after you see it it's obvious before you see it you don't think about it on those words where yob says I would have gone empty-handed Bel again talking again about that word that Yakov being extracted from the house of Lavan is prototype of the extraction of am Israel from itsim so it's at this point that we have to pause again because how far is he going to take it what's the answer he's going to take it very very far he's going to take it further than you can imagine but right now and and we can be we we can now paint this with the broadest of strokes and say yeah one is talking about leaving another culture and heading to Israel the other is leaving a another alien culture and heading to Israel so yeah I guess the stories have some kind of similarity now let's be perfectly honest other than the similarities there are also going to be differences and it's some of those differences which are going to be quite important in terms of where we're going but let's continue and read the G so let's now pause he says in both it's not just a question of leaving in both cases we could have left with nothing except for the clothing on our backs the former slaves you know had we had told the slaves okay just go just run you know we would have gone but God says when you go you're going to go so there is this Divine promise on the other hand Yakov could have worked for all these years and is wages gets changed and Lovin rips him off and he ends up leaving with whatever he leaves with and gets out but in both cases there is this further element that somehow God somehow God does something miraculous and in Botha now you can you tell me oh but they're just completely different Yakov does these things we still don't begin to understand unless you want to study the biological uh impact of uh of birthing of stars and stripes and whatever else that may have been there so again it's not it's not the easiest thing to understand what happened God did something and on the other hand when it comes to leaving Egypt so therefore God again did a manipulation and that manipulation is that God gave the people this desire to somehow give their R to to the Jews but in both cases they leave now the other thing that he said is notice and we may have missed this along the way that when when Yakov did all of this he actually had a staff in his hand he had a Mel so therefore he had a staff in his hand and what he's pointing out is pay attention to the staff because it's really the same as and and and and this is what does theot and this is what and this is mid mid for the 10 times that Lan changes his his wages so therefore he gets struck with 10 and he gets struck with 10 or they get struck with 10 and therefore he's saying that there is a little bit more similarity than maybe you realize than just a geographic move for one place to another bamel who right so who hey and he goes no it's the Mel um it's interesting if you look at the Mel and this I did speak about when I when I talked about this last time and this is where I ended up going because I ended up going to the villag gon's commentary onad gadya and I'll explain why I did that and why that was the major focus is in the of course there's something which is called the is those of you doing will know that every time it says the M the Aramaic isra so the is the mate that Moshe is using so it's interesting that this actually goes back to this point now the reason I went to the there is that he ends up focusing on what we touched a little bit and that is ysep mashi Yos and in his commentary he tells us he tells us the secret of everything is y The Secret of everything is why was I concerned about that there's a book which is called the kar which is reportedly written by someone in the Riven revlin family is the cousins and students of the vagum where he talks about the the gon's teachings of redemption and there the whole book is about mhia there are those who claim that the book is not authoritative and the book was written late by the way there are references there to he there references there to Yum and there's some really interesting the book oh of course it was just written later but the main thesis of the book is about the role of mhi B Yosef and that's in the Von's commentary to the khad gadya which actually is published a long long long time before the rivins came about and what I was trying to show is the authenticity of the Von's teaching regarding mhia so that's why I was very very focused on that area and you can see how I can do that directly but there as I said there are certain pivots that I want to take yeah it's the same idea it it accomplishes the same thing he then continues I'm skipping a little bit it's like the line there one two three four lines towards the end and and mosha therefore become these similar personalities and we're skipping a little bitov and the same way that yov ran away the same thing was in Egypt right now if you didn't catch what he just now did that was very impressive because we'll look at it if you didn't catch it because that was just incredibly convincing what he said everything about these two episodes somebody who pays proper attention so what what I really wanted to do but it would take far more than the time that we have is to try to go through every single thing I mean uh but it's too much because you really have to go back from the day that yakob was born all the way moving forward even though it could be that the major emphasis is going see this is the question if it's really I mean is is the leaving of Egypt should we be focusing on V and Bo or B or for that matter when we're talking about yob and as should we be talking about or should we talking about just to note for a second also have a similarity to it in terms of the in term in terms of the name Nam um one of the places if you listen to the cre Torah this morning you'll catch up again on Shabbat is one of the places isot and you also know that's the place that yako first gets to when he gets there he calls the place tood so when the vill go says yeah everything is the same part of what I'm wondering is if I would have we would have been sitting and the villon is giving shear and say how many connections give me a number so again I I have no idea what that number is I have no idea if he would say oh there are 11 there's 15 there's 38 there's 145 I mean I think the number when he says everything is the same I'm suspecting that that number is far higher than we imagine it right now but what he just now gave us is incredible but I'm going to read a little more and then then we're go back and try to prove the point and then we're going to see where all this takes us and he says and therefore when we tell over the story of leaving Egypt what is the main part of the that's why we're telling over about L right that's why we're talking about L over there because it's part of the story because it's the same story right so essentially he he gave us the as the starting point he gave us the ten code and then he said something about leaving let's let's look to see what that is because as I said that that's going to first of all it's going to the good thing it's going to take us back to this week's para so afterwards when you complain about the she that oh barely talked about B so now we get to talk a little bit more but you got three you got so notice the phrase they ran away and then there's this manipulation in terms of parro's heart which is interesting because what does the manipulation do the Bim causes him to chase them down and will end up causing his death now what he didn't mention is there also is going to be the manipulation of Lov On's heart God is going to come to him at night he's going to warn him and that's going to actually cause there to be a lack of Confrontation which means it's going there's going to be confrontation which will be verbal but eventually he's going to be told he can't speak and he's come elim as it were and and there's much more by the way to what happens then by that confrontation but let's notice the words he was told and he goes he gets the by the way the word goes back to Y which I don't want to over I mean right the right I'm not going to bother saying much more than that um he chased so go back now to now we'll go to Source number four which is going back to Al I want you to look we'll start a little further down it's the same thing right the same words the same words are there that's what the Von pointed out he goes it's the same words being used that he was told and they and and power right power was told Lovin was told Lovin then starts chasing him down power start chasing him down when do they catch up and when's the confrontation on the seventh day so in this in our story in parak so that's when the splitting of the sea takes place and God does this other incredibly miraculous things and then the Egyptians are all killed but how does the story end up with love on well it ends up slight differently they end up making a covenant and in the Covenant they end up creating boundaries there's going to be a beor boundary and a real separation between the two and we'll we'll stop at that for the moment let's go a little bit further back now in Source number four this is after he makes the money the attitude is changed which of course is the beginning of the story in uh in schote the attitude towards the Jews has changed Yosef had now now now the Jews and those are the footnotes that I put and so on the other thing is he says and you know I worked with all of my strength you changed my wages 10 times which now you realize this is also a uh a part of that story the other thing we over here which is interesting is in now that's something which you're not exactly sure what she was doing you know by itself why is she doing this there's all kinds of theories why she took it but what happens when you do what the vagon told us to do and read this story within through the prism of the other story then I think it gets connected to the footnote that I put there by number four and that would be that also the gods of Egypt are going to be judged as well so over here her stealing of his God now becomes much more interesting in terms of uh of of that further connection so again the terms here are similar the dream the night before go a little bit further down chases them down got I love the now that word there is also much more interesting and again if the villain were here I I think that he would point that out as well though he got it to know he got it to you have to tell over and again contrast comparison so if you notice my footnote over there what what's it going to be it's going to be that so where did she get this idea to uh bring yeah from from the El from the El love one right love listen a bunch of lit fxs none of them know how to party so uh where do we get our party from we get our party from Lovin Lovin makes parties that's what Lovin does he makes a party for one daughter I'll make it for another daughter I'll make it Lov likes parties so L said what they know we would have made a party so um but but it's interesting is that two P that's what I'm saying is that I I have no idea what number he would say but my suspicion is it's so much beyond what we imagine right now and that's why I would I would want to go over this again and again and again really with a fine tooth comb to try to make these comparisons and uh my suspicion is that there's just an awful lot um if we'll continue a little bit El Yakov now I want you to know what he says and then where he goes with this because you can end up with the exact opposite conclusion and this is the key by the way if you pause right there because but there's more so I can't pause right there if I would pause right there so yeah kill all the males and save the girls right so one one thing but it's not what not he everything is mine but and by the way that power would probably agree with everything is mine I own everything why because you're you're my slaves and he goes therefore let's make a covenant and and also here he talks about testimony and the testimonies also the aid it's going to be testimony which is also interesting because just in terms of the last time that yov had made a that was by the sulam that's a while ago the sulam is also quite interesting to us but again I'm not so sure how much we want to go there which again it reminds us of when yov runs away when he leaves Israel and then Gathering all the stones and uh and so on and both in the and also in the various M over there so that there is some kind of a covenant right don't take any more wives which is interesting right that that this is going to now become a division there's now going to be a fence between the two of us and now we've created complete separation which means the separation of Yakov and Lan is by a covenant by a meal by words of saying I would have made a bigger party if he gave me an ability to and he says everything is mine but let's create a complete separation between the two of us which really in a certain sense is the opposite of one another because if you're saying is everything is mine then there is no separation well which also now lets us perhaps understand all of this a little bit more leaving love on is not just a question of geography it's not just a question of political Geographic economic it's a question of creating separation and distance between the world of Lan and the world that Yakov is about to enter into of course you can then go back and say but Yakov tag MIT chimar and so on and so forth but there still needs there to be a beor there needs there to be a separation and I'll say now with what we've seen from the beginning today just like when we leave Egypt we need there to be a separation there needs to be distance of course what's interesting then is with love on it takes place by I'll say a proverbial handshake we agree to be separate here's the boundaries this is yours this is mine I'll stay here you go there even though I just want to say everything is mine so because l wants to say everything is mine mind is why it's so important now to create the separation which means it it's almost like Robert Frost's cynicism which could cited as wisdom and that is that good fences make good neighbors and he's saying let's create a fence let's create offence and that way we will have this ability to live our own separate lives even though on a certain level we shouldn't but nonetheless and the Temptation for Yakov perhaps to have stayed with Lan and stayed with family and stayed away from that other confrontation which I don't want us to forget about because there is that other confrontation which means to to a certain yes to to to a great extent but it's that other confrontation that till now we've just completely forgotten and that's the one that we shouldn't be forgetting because I gave you a hint about that from the very beginning because ultimately it's going to be the separation between yov and asov and those of us who remember par there's this other thing which is waiting for us and that is that ASV is waiting once we finish with love on then ASV is waiting and ASV is waiting with his soldiers and and if we go back to parak somehow when we finish our whole experience with parro and they're again completely different way of having that of having that separation when we when we leave parro and we leave Egypt and then and they end up in the bottom of the sea and and and all that then amalik is waiting for us which means which means again when the vill says yeah everything is the same of course everything is the same incidentally there's another partial with the same three letters and that's and were also on the way to Israel that's what's interesting is on the way to Israel Bish were on the way to Israel and inl on the way to Israel and that doesn't work out or what happens afterwards then the MIM go go and try to go by themselves and amalik attacks them so therefore amalik is yes yes yes if you want I'll show you the PK I believe you sounds like you just did anyway Source five all that I want to look at is the first p and this we're doing very quickly because I told you in the other one I spent more time in this when ysep is born that's then what generates everything okay now it's time to go it's ysep being born is the Catalyst if you look then at source if you look at source number six it's when they again this week's para all the people they take their their primitive weapon which really is what they take their weapons with the armed but MOS took now that was already hinted before between the between the Von and between the Zohar was the kak of ysf that he takes with him because again ysf is connected to metatrone it is connect to this ability to fight against Amal noticing Source number seven when she grabs him and he runs away in Source number eight the points out the splitting of the sea is because the sea saw ysep and that and that which it's the birth of yosf which is the Catalyst to begin and then it's yosef's remains even which have this ability everybody's armed and they think they're going to fight but it's it's it's the remains of ysf which causes the sea to be uh split and if we go back to our battle with at the end of this week's par Source number nine and of course who is yahushua yosua is from is from is from y from epim so and and then you just notice all these other things M MIM in his hands and yahushua and then the the various letters of the name of God and the name of Yeshua and there andun there is a great deal of information going back to the song that they sing after the splitting of the sea Kash is important here as well in U Back chapters before when they went backwards one step it say now you go to Rashi and as soon as was born that means that ysf is going to light the match and burn the straw which is represented a representation of uh of asov and again we'll leave it at that but again there are all of these elements which come together as well and all that is mentioned the gor in Source 13 as well it's it's right and so on where you to go God is Not amongst you right which by the way is actually in B before the word they said oh is God Among Us or no and then comes and then and then they go up and so on and they wipe them out so yes amalik is is there as well so that's I'm saying is that there is this larger issue that needs to be uh paid attention to as well but if if we're going to make everything a little bit broader then there is another element that I want to point to and again this is where we didn't go at all and let me just say a couple more things about this when I try to retrack my steps one of the things that I didn't know is how I found that zohor in the first place there's certain books I can tell you that I found something because I was just learning it straight and I was not learning that zoha I did not get there through my own learning and the comment of the villon I didn't get the direct which means I must have gotten to some kind of a clichey so what that clichey is so uh you know there many many years worth of possibilities as where it could be from but what I did notice is that one person who does speak about it or his students wrote about it were the students of rosi Shapiro so if you don't know of MOS shapir was he was one of the most significant I'll call him Bala of the last generation and a lot of people a lot of people were his students who then teach over things that he uh that he had said and the number of books some better some worse that quote him and he and I I I did the simple thing I I I Googled that V neon some words from said now Who quotes it and I saw people going back to various a couple of different books which that I have at home by the way a couple of so there is a likelihood that I would have read it in one of those books so I'm saying it's possible I and then as I was looking I actually found the shear that he spoke about this so he passed away a couple years ago and I found the shear I listened to the shear this week which was really interesting but I did not do most of what he did he spent a lot of time with testimony maybe I'll do a touch testimony he spent a lot of time with black and white love on his white and and the importance of separating and uh he spent a lot of time with Aramaic with that uh that that term which was used in Aramaic in the Torah and uh I'm not dealing with that as well but there was one other the direction that is pointed to and that is the continuation of the love and story so in order to understand this I first want to touch one thing and then we'll see how all this connects in the aashir which we already saw the Kash in in Source 15 and we know the words um so what does that mean this is my God and I will beautify good and then later on it says in it says so if you look at the in both of these verses in 16 the says and I'm going to build a this is my God and I'm gonna beautiful know I'm G to build in Source in the which a little easier I will build a house for God which means by the way long before the golden calf at the sea the people have a revelation there is this teaching in theila that that sees even what even what didn't see they see am they see some they see aash they see the Shala they they have a vision of the bash Shala and they say we're going to build the B mdash we're going to bring it down below by the way this should also help us with one other thing this should also help us with the sulam Yakov because Yakov wakes up after saying aam aam is also something which connects you and there's a vision of heaven and then he wakes up and says oh I'm going to build a mikdash which I'm going to build a mishan and the other thing about the sulam of course is that the sulam in gatria is 130 the way that it's spelled in The KES which by the way is the same thing as Cole Yakov it's it's h Yakov hak is written without the V hak K Yakov it's also 130 but more importantly SII is is 30 and of course we understand that seni somehow somehow ends up morphing into the mishkan and ends up morphing into the bet mikdash if that was good then great if not then also great we're going to skip s 17 and 18 are what takes us to the radavi right what's right that's the beginning of what was the very end of of course that's which means this and then kavo is when I get to the BET mikdash which means that's not an accident which means there's this fight against amalik then you get to seni this this fight against amalik and then I go to the bash and I bring the first root and I say the ra and I go back to leaving loveon because that's actually the beginning of the story we'll skip 19 which is Rashi 20 is the whole thing about the sulam and he's afraid and he wakes up and I'm going to build the Bim and all of that we know Yakov of course is going to come later he's going to be frightens later on again when he's about to have his confrontation with asov and then the night before he has a confrontation with Saros see then I would actually make the I would actually make the the that nocturn strange section I would actually compare it when mosha goes into the hotel right the bat Motel right somebody's proba to kill him I don't know how how else the bait motail someone pulls an KNE on them you have a better way to call it and now you're thinking so how long I've been saving that since I since last night it's only since last night only only no no only since last night so those two scenes of of yacob's life being threatened and mosha see somebody said before the birth of mosha or or moshe's life being threatened and on that in that strange scene they both emerge from that is is interesting and there are also angels in both of those scenes right and and that's and that that's part of what's important but again Yakov wakes up and it's time to build the beta and we're going to skip through all these things having to do with being afraid and having auna you see in 25 H there you see the call without the V wonderful but we really wanted to get to source 26 because source 26 is in parat balak he saying why in the world are we in Patak and that is because Patak speaks about speaks about billum and why are we dealing with billum so one thing that I want you to note is also there's a and then and there's a sword which is pulled out we have the donkey and there is this crossing over of the fences by the way also not notice the Mel that you may not have noticed before and then he says and I would have killed you and so on and so forth so why are we here Source 27 is the because what it's about to tell us which is going to be very clear in the is that love is B now you just don't don't bother me with biography don't me with when they live it's saying is that no you want to say reincarnation say whatever you want but it's saying is B love and therefore even to put bam as one of the advisers to uh to parro to to kill them all which is inter parro doesn't want to kill them all parro wants a slaves but Bill wants to kill them all and and for love and say oh I I would have done terrible things but God stopped me so now suddenly he seems a little bit free but even over here again God is going to stop him so if you look at in 28 what talks about the go so it's say no that this meaning if you look back where he comes from he comes from the same hometown but say no billum you know as descendants perhaps if you just want to put it that way billum had the obligation of keeping the vow that love and made see I I I want to go back a couple of steps then we we'll move a little bit more towards the uh towards the end and that is that once this Bor takes place and there are terms which take place and there's a covenant which takes place then that is obligatory upon the descendants as well Isel we on this side and right right see let's go back a couple steps everything is the same Yakov goes as one solitary person and goes into the B Lan and he emerges with all these tribes it's the beginning of amist amist go down as a small group 70 people and they emerge as am Israel which is the other thing that really when you look about these about these two situations is am Israel emerging the thing which is completely different and the reason we wouldn't have considered it even by ourselves before everything is point out the thing which is so different is the way the story ends the way the story ends is that parro and all of his people are dead and love on we make a pce treaty and everything is okay so what's interesting about all of this is that it's claimed no sometimes enemies don't keep peace treaties should right should I say that should I say this again sometimes enemies who really have in mind to destroy you right they don't keep peace treaties they just become opportunities to be able to push things off as much as they as much as they can over here where is is in 33 he says that that God was very upset why shal he he was he was using skills which were not his so that means that part of what bam did is he tried to curse us with the call Yakov which by the way obviously should all be taking us right back to the Yakov and asov and again aik emerging out of all of out of all of this the the the aid from the gal Aid is worthwhile pursuing on the one hand in our parha we have an ad which is in Source 34 which is the man get out of nowhere I'll put this away for a so you say where did a come from well there was a was a key part of that other story the other thing is eventually we're going to get to the the BET to the mishan and the way the mishan is going to be described in Source 35 M and what's going to say so over here there is this by this haril and over here we're going to have this UT by this har which again not going to say again the SII and the sulam and so on and so forth and that's by the way which is in kazal and finally taking it to the again because you realize the B mikash is the thing and that's 36 and one of the things kazal says from all the from all the blessings that b or bam gives all the blessings that Pam gives it actually gives you a hint about what he wanted to curse and over here it says he looks at he says which means what he sees is the Mish what he sees is the mdash what he sees is the what he sees is the K Yakov what he sees is our ability to again have that suam and reach up to heaven and that's what he wants to completely destroy so the point of all of this as I said is I wanted to go back and to re you know track some of the steps took a couple of different steps in different directions regarding this teaching which starts off with the Z and making a beares to see leaving Egypt not just geographical but there's a spiritual element which is essential and that was also when you go back to leaving Lavan there was this element that comparison between the two was already there in the tun zo in its raw sense the Von says of course it's there it's everything it's it's the whole story everything is here and even pointing out that's why in pesak night we include it when we go back to Ari because it really is the same story what I try to point out is at least some of what I think is the more obvious elements over here as uh for all we know we'll come back to this in another 10 years and then find another 20 30 40 50 connections with the vill go haded mind but beem we'll we'll do that and we'll come back and we'll try to understand it again and go back further because as I said even though we saw a bit of it I'm convinced that much much more obviously this all begins with and it all begins with the separation and the beor knowing which tree to eat from which not to eat from so with tu bishvat as well you should know which tree you should be eating you should be eating from and uh you should not be eating from the dried fruits which come from Turkey you should be eating you should you should be you should be eating from the fruits of and hopefully a new fruit be able to sayu and I'm not sure how possible that is right now if it is from Israel but beem we should all be able to enjoy the fruits of verit Israel for many many years
