Parshat Vayetzei: Angels Ascent Accentuated by Shira Smiles

okay good morning welcome back to the new episode of Tor tapestries and uh let's learn a little bit my friends the the beginning of the par is very familiar Yakov departed from Beva he went toward Khan he encountered the place English is so challenging he and spent the night there because the sun had set he took from the stones of the place which he arranged around his head laid down in that place and he dreamt and behold a lad was set earthward and its top reached heavenward right and behold angels of God malim ascended and descended bow on it and behold Hashem was standing over him and he said I am Hashem God of abam Our Father God of yak the ground which one you are lying to you I will give it to your descendants and your Offspring shall be as the dust of the earth and you shall spread outa yva very famous story so our overall issue and this is the issue that we have been dealing with since we've met in time IM Memorial is the nuda in Source number two of shat rabim Torah is it's Eternal and every p is applicable relevant for every person in all time what do we learn from the dream of and not only do we need to know about the dream but the specifics of the dream that the angels are going up and down in my language who cares that was my language that's that wasn't in the books yeah um and again I I can't emphasize enough this is the mindset that I um that I have when preparing ing a sheer is that every PUK every Rashi every single idea it's not just you know read it and go on no this is messages and and whatever we're going through the messages are what are there we just have to open our eyes to them okay so that's the overall issue now the uh the specific issue angels are found where in heaven that was the right answer and therefore if they're found in heaven and we as far as I know are down here on Earth Angels should first what go down and then go up so it should be the Angels were descending and ascending and the PK tells us they are what ascending and then descending only both so the question we have it's one question today how do we understand the angels what going in the opposite order now I will make mention and and and since it was such a challenge to get here I am not going to end it here but the rashbam says it's no big deal rashbam rash's grandson he says in Source number three it's there you first talk about going up and then you talk about going down so it's really no question the tor was teaching us how to speak what appropriately end of the year wasn't that easy but you will came here so you also deserve the full hours shear and and we're going to come back almost to this fresh bomb full circle at the end so my friends let's share um let's share the structure we're going to use today so that way we can focus in on the structure and uh and then just fill in the blanks here's the structure there is AIC idea and it's a more cabalistic idea called asan we've meant this idea a number of times aan stands for sh and Nees is the idea of place Shah is the idea of time and neish is the idea of people everything exists in all three dimensions the classic example given is the co the holiest person enters into the holiest place The KES kadash on the holiest day of the year on yum Kipper so that's where the three meet and really in every dimension of Our Lives the three intersect the sh and we are going to see in each of these Dimensions two ideas how many ideas are we going to have in total six six very good you followed with me that was easy okay so uh let's start Witham then go to Shah and then we'll go to nefes and the nefes is really where I want to work on but I want to do all the above and at the same time I will say that as much as we are learning there's so much more that's here there's a whole idea that these are the MIM of St who said they were destroying the place and then they got banished from God's presence and now they're going back up so whatever we do there's a lot more to do so that's why I always have to build shears for 120 years so so I I have to narrow down to uh again what AR two angels there are two angels on us all the time 100% and we're to talk more about that yeah yeah yeah good good so my friends let's begin we're starting Witham so the way I'm going to describe it is 1 a I don't take notes whenever I prepare a Shear I it's my limitation so in my head I need to be very what structured otherwise I'm going to be lost so just humor me as I go through my structure because it just helps my head and and I appreciate it when anyone here takes notes that way if I ever need a Shear I could just ask you uh where I was so you know 10 years ago okay good yeah okay so let's start there is a medish in Source number four it doesn't look like a four because it's covered over it's between 3A and six okay it looks more like a seven I know but it's really A four that got covered over good the four kingdoms the med says Yakov a was shown the guardian angel of the four kingdoms that would Ascend to dominate Israel Yakov saw each Angel climbing a number of rungs corresponding to the years of its dominion and then descending as its rain ended B's Angel climbed 70 rungs and then went down mad's Angel 52 Greece 130 but one angel of Edom ASA kept climbing indefinitely symbolizing the current Exile which seems to be endless Yakov was frighten until God assured him that he would receive Divine protection and eventually returned to the land so Yakov will talk about why in a few minutes yaku is seeing here a vision it's the vision of Jewish history each of these angels going up represent an archangel of a different different one of the Nations that was going to subjugate us over the course of history when I used to teach um transar in in high school um this uh imagery came up because as we find in Source number five the uh says in the bracket even if they put their nest Ed up in heaven from there bring you down right so as far as Edam goes because he's just going and going don't worry Hashem says I'll I'll bring him down so when I used to teach this in high school I would bring with the to the kids the imagery and again I still find it helpful even though I'm not teaching High School of like these basketball jerseys where you have numbers on the back do you know what I'm saying so like the jersey of B had a 70 on the back and the jersey of M was you know what I'm saying and then I would ask the kids what color jersey would you give to each this it's up your alley totally up my alley would you give to each one like your one is right so that may be black Jersey and whatever okay this we're not in high school now we don't need to do this assignment but it's still fascinating you know I love to put color in music to what we learn because I find that it just uh it it enhances and it allows a person to connect to the learning in a much more tactile emotional way okay that was just my view of teaching that no one really cared to hear about but I thought I'd share it anyway and I did so thanks for humoring me and listening to my Spiel um let's talk about this let's talk about this Vision olum the Angels going up are the angels of the of the Nations each Angel goes up a certain amount of rungs that's the O and then your deem they come down I say to the kids what number would you put on Edom and they say the symbol of infinity even though it's not Infinity but it feels definitely like what infinity and we've spoken about here a few weeks ago maybe on Zoom that asov and isma marry each other in last week's Parish so when we talk about the downfall of asov it's hand in hand with the downfall of is they've joined together so we had an angel up there that's going up with him now theah speaks about this imagery rla brings in Source five the maral says I mean the beginning of five second paragraph you read that the first three he saw they're going up and down third line This is we know this the rise and the fall of a Nation it's natural right Rome had its rise and had its fall Greece had its rise and its fall and that's the Angels going up and down atom's fool is not going to be what's the key word here natural very good natural it's going to be Supernatural and that's what Hashem is showing Yakov ainu this is not you see him going up up up up up is there ever an end Hashem tells Yakov ainu there's no no end from the natural perspective there's only an end himself is going to have to bring him down and hence in the arrow in six yobu understood this must be the house of God because I am seeing a vision of the Supernatural and not of the natural what is fascinating and this is where I want to know this is real s 7even and that's on the back of this first page and that is the desla brings that the fall of Edom is going to lead because it's supernatural to the rise of the Messianic era the two are going to happen almost seamlessly with the fall of Edom coming from God will then come the entrance of of mashia and listen to this because this is fascinating I'm in the bracket in seven through destruction of the then there's going to be revelation of God's kingdom what will bring the the the destruction of Edom how is it going to happen so he says it's going to be through the destruction of the physical world of the olaza when hasem brings the world keep in mind hasem is bringing us it down when hasem brings the world to a situation which means Hashem is orchestrating the world to reach a situation that the foundations of our world are going to collapse what does that mean listen to this a did I pronounce it right T that Tranquility will be disturbed I like that English good an individual's life will be filled with fear we're just going to be afraid and be uh tormented and we feel like the whole world is about to collapse does this sound anywh familiar to anybody here y as then it will be clear to everybody that the GAA that the hoiness of our uh technological advancement and that we can conquer the worldon just leads to destruction and instead of building we're really what we're really destroying ourselves both on the national level and very much on the the what the individual level right we think that the technology has brought us further you know where we took to people we see people this very same technology has destroyed families and individuals and we all know this I'm not saying any kushim so my friend on the one hand you look at this peric and you think OMG this is so depressing and on the other hand you say wow this is so encouraging we're really what we're there we're there now why was Yak why did Yak see this so R mki Points out in the eight in English Arrow this prophecy for telling the future Exile of Jewish people was revealed to Yakov at this particular moment because he himself was in the process of leaving the land of Israel and entering a state of Exile during those few moments Yakov experienced a full measure of anguish and despair that we have endured throughout the 2,000 years of Galos Edo and the next verse says and Yakov suddenly saw God standing on top of the ladder he was uh telling him don't worry I'm going to be with you you're going to return to your land at the same time in this Vision we have the Jewish people compared to the dust of the earth now my friends that is not such a what not such a compliment the stars of the heaven I can get but and even the grains of the sand of the sea right they say about the grains of the sand of the sea that the sand is the barrier they have a fancy word for it what's the word that it stops the uh waves from coming in it breaks it it breaks the ti forget it the enemies will come so close and then push back they'll never destroy us that's that imagery of the but what's the dust of the earth dust of the earth my friends we get trampled on so he says that's it the blessing which compares the people to Stars portrays the Jewish Nation at its peak here the blessing of the Dust of the earth nine in contrast is in their fallen State this is the Exile Vision it guarantees that they'll be as indestructible as dust no matter how low they may descend on the cosmic ladder of spirituality dust remains impervious to harm even the face of the greatest military superpowers that have strutted on the face of the Earth Mighty Warriors can trample upon it to the heart's content but it will outlive them all likewise the Jewish people will always Prevail over their enemy and that's why this is the Jewish people he calls it stubborn perseverance in the face of Oppression and attempted genocide well that's a good description of what we are feeling at this very moment and at the same time Yakov is tolda you'll burst forth and this is part of the braa too that we will not be in one place on the one hand that seems like what this is the braa that will be you know all over the Earth but it's a Mal and points out that is a br because we can never be destroyed like you take the Holocaust in Europe they were jeice in Australia and America in Israel and and in the end in 10 I'm with you gotur Jakob the seeming endless programs and persecutions may give us the impression that God has abandoned us but will always remain on our side adversity strikes not a result of his absence but as a consequence of our sin yet despite our sins Hashem will prevent the Nations that completely from completely annihilating us for promise yovino will protect you wherever you go and finally he'll bring us back to AR Israel so first idea of Olam of why the angels are going up and then coming down that this refers to the angels of the worlds of the Nations and ultimately they will all come down including Infinity himself what color will we give to Infinity himself what color white blue blue white blue and white I don't know it's is really color what about a dome I would yeah a dome would be red maybe yeah a lot of Bloodshed over these last few thousand years okay so the blue and white is our uh is Yakov vinu's Jersey but the red is uh is his jersey yeah okay good okay so now we're up to 1B yeah does that make sense Yeah question yeah yeah ER is still in Exile until we have the Final Redemption um just between you and me people can listen but this is between you and me okay I I I got an email from somebody I get random emails and Aaron goldshire is that his name is very good who runs T tidbits that he he uh he protects me that he gets the emails he sends them to me and he sends the responsives not with my personal email so I don't get uh bombarded but I I remember a number of months ago I made an illusion in one of my tour tidbits I get the most random comments from these Tor tidbits one of them was that how could I may mention somehow I don't remember what I said that I referred to Israel as as as an exile or I don't think I said that but I I alluded to it or I so he was very uh offended and he wrote me a whole email about how he made alah and how he fought in the Army and his kids fought in the Army and we're in uh you know we're not in Exile anymore and that was his email so I I emailed him back I said you know kot you know it's great that you're here it's wonderful um at the same time it's very fascinating that one of the four Exiles is referred to as this is very timely as Gus yavan the Greek Exile where did the Greek Exile take place in Israel Israel it happened in Israel so how can you say it's an exile if we were what Israel and not only we're in Israel we had the B ofas you ever wonder about that it's a good question so say freeder he brings the idea the definition of exile is we lack what' you say God God is that what you say yeah you hit it the nail on the head you could have heard in him back too we we you lack that divine presence in an open manifested way and I said until we experience that in Israel to a certain extent we're still in Exile so yes but there is concept of yeah for sure for sure it's Thea it's the beginning the beginning it's a process like if a woman is in transition would you say the baby's born no if you ever been in transition you know the baby is not been born yet but is the baby on its way to being born yes can I say that the baby is born now do do you hear that that doesn't mean the baby's going to be born alive right there's right that's intense you must be a a midwife AR a lot of for sure for sure for sure and and that's God's promise that I'll always be with you you'll be trampled and I'll be with you you'll be persecuted and I'll be with you and I thank you for mentioning that we are seeing Miracles left right at Center you know soldiers describe a grenade going right in front of them and then it just turns around and goes back to where it came from like you hear stories like this this makes no sense this is this promise right here that I will be with you despite the pams despite the persecution and K vot for mentioning that's so important now we have to hold on to that so yes there's a divine presence but it's not as all revealed in the intense way that's going to be when the mashiach comes okay have blood now on requests for yes yes and the and the spiritual awakening that's going on now that's why I say we're in transition the baby's on its way yeah and we talk about I forgot the EXA word right it's a sprouting it's a process it's a right right when Masia he can't tell his his children right that's something we have to experience and we have to wait for it part of it is us the anticipation is on us good let's move on here because the hour is super late and we just did the first of six so I'm putting my foot on the accelerator Source number 11 the second aspect of of world is Rashi Yakov was shown that the angels that protected him in AR Israel were going back up to heaven and were being replaced by lesser Angels which would escort him while he was outside the land this process was reversed and returned to land the angel of land returned to him we spoke about this a few years ago this vision instilled in him a recognition of the great Holiness of the land and a desire to return to it now why does SCE 13 why does why does not English why was it necessary for there to be two separate Angels why can't the land of Israel Angels also accompanying him where outside the land of Israel you ever thought about that question so here's an answer that I saw CU I always was bed by that question the T and he says V and the answer and 13 angels are here to what to save us from sin they're like our cheerleaders that help us along the way and this help is given to a person based on the level that you're at right the angels are only going to help you as long as you help yourself here's the key double underline in 13 and the Angel's capacity is based on how much impurity do we need to face ER Israel which is the holiest of all places therefore has the greatest aspect of tumor of impurity in here and therefore you need much stronger angels to be able to ward off the negative effects of the Tuma of arusell so to bring these angels outside of Israel they're too strong it's not needed because outside of Israel the kadua the Holiness is so much less so the impurity is so much less so you need to have the angels that fit the job and he says at the end we see from here that living in Israel you need special help from above and when you're able to vanish the negative forces the energy and closeness to Hashem that you feel is uh is is is something very special because you've reached much higher levels than you can even imagine outside of the land of Israel so this is the the imagery of of uh place the four nations and these are the the angels of er Israel going up the angels of Hut are coming down and it's the changing of the guards and uh you have a question there why is the so good question so the answer is based on AOK and Goa why the tomb was greater in isok and Goa chapter 7 this against the other God makes that in order for us to have free choice the level has to be balanced the Holiness of AR Israel is so great that it's like a no-brainer to be close to God so therefore in order for us to get rewarded Hashem has to level the playing field it's like you know I used to be a baseball fan as a kid okay we'll leave that part of my life out um I still Ed that imagery in my head you know like any of you ever were Baseball fans as kids like you have to like hit the mark home run okay doesn't matter that's my imagery something's kicking out of your mind more more Jewish when when was elated right right right I'll just finish mine even though brendo was so much greater is that you don't pit in the World Series a a strong team versus a weak team who do you pit in the World Series these are the two strong teams it was a silly imagery hers was much better but you understood what I meant okay I'm I'm putting the Rus in the gash thank you Brenda for for bailing me out of this one okay um you know it's so funny that whatever we grew up on it's real what becomes part of our Fabric and um you know it's it's a blessing to be able to raise children here who uh I was just it was just this has nothing to anything I don't have time for this I was just teaching this week about um there's a in the words to give the arel says in those words you should give staka because it's very nice to talk about how great God is but you got to put your money where your mouth is is and give stuck up so what a few of the women were telling me that in their sitter it says you should give three coins now I knew about giving three coins before lighting candles on AR of chabas there's a cabalistic idea of giving three coins what it is I have no idea but I never knew that that applied to what to every day so that I found very fascinating so one woman this these are Zoom classes to America yeah so one woman says she gives a quarter a dime and a penny every day so should get to twice K so I was very impressed by this I I mention this to my daughter on chabas I said I said Kan what does a quarter and a dime and a penny add up to she looked at me blankly and says I don't know what a quarter or a dime or a penny is and this is when you raise a child in N why would they know American currency and I'm like OMG my kid doesn't even know what a corner is like that's okay it's okay it's it's fine it's fine we move on but it's just you know like thank God thank God they don't know a lot of things okay so now let's move here I said I was going to move and I got I got stuck and that's what happens to me sometimes the next is man it's time I want to do this very quickly because I really want to get into nefes so I'm going to do a lot of this outside because I I want to move and that is in the in the span of time these angels symbolize 15 this that just like we have angels of er Isel and angels of we have angels of shabas and angels of the weekday and there's also a Changing of the Guard when we say shalom Alim we're bringing in the angels of shabas when we say shalom we're saying goodbye to what the angels of the week because you ever wonder you say sh they say goodbye nice knowing you I just invited me in that's really not a good host and the answer is Shalom and Shalom we bring in the angels of chabas first because obviously in 16 they're of greater value now here's where I want to focus and we've spoken about this a few weeks ago again on Zoom land is that one of the things the rabim have said that is something we can do to create for each and every one of the soldiers each and one every one of the captives is K shabat Kar this is Ezra right I'm not going to sing it so you don't have to worry um when one keeps shabus God will what protect us and that where our Focus really needs to be is in our Shabbat observance I had made mention many weeks ago and I will make mention again in my personal opinion the place to go is a book called learn shab H shabas three minutes a day by Rabbi Daniel bro it is stupendous it is so well written it is easy and it is a way that every single day to Learn 3 minutes I have a little secret to tell you it takes me around a minute and a half do we have a minute and a half to give to protection I think we do but it brings shabas into your what okay I don't read every word I skim okay I'm I have no patience to read that's where my ADD comes in but it it brings you the awareness of chabas every day this is the safer that I what that I recommend okay so learn shabas 3 minutes a day now uh um the angels are not just about the angels that are coming in it's also about Mo shabas let me share with you the following I'm going to do it outside I'm in 17 you can follow with me and the first part is before we get to 17 isce a Shalom n on our page symbolically says he leaves The Well of seven shabas and he enters into it represents anger he enters into the weak the world of anger you know what is this is the ladder of the bridge between the shabas of Bea and thean the own half of the week sulum stands for Arrow 17 suas Lev Mala sulum stands for the me the suda Levi that escorts the Mala the queen it's malava Mala what happens in malava Mala the angels of shabis oim go up and the angels of shabas of the of the week than thank you of the week pretty weak here the week come what come down and what we need to do is to mark this Changing of the Guard so when we sing shal and we're all there what happens and we the weakness is is we have to take shabas with us to the week don't just say oh shabas is over and move on with my life in fact the firm say one shouldn't change their shabot clothes until after they eat malava Mala and malava Mala should be a meal that is set to table that that you make uh you know you you actually eat something the best is even to wash why is this so important so I move to the next page which is in English oh I love English theur explains that malava Mala is a meal that brings blessings to the entire week we know that the entire week receives BR from right shabas is a source of all blessing continues and says shabas brings blessing to the entire week listen to this caveat but only when shabas is observed and fulfilled properly K say that a Mitzvah is only accomplished in the as upon its completion so after the Mitzvah of shabas is complete on most shabas the BR is then able to be transmitted to the rest of the week since a braa cannot take effect on something which is empty that's why we leave bread on the table when we Bene we need to eat a malava Mala by eating malava Mala we create a meal an entity through which the braa of shabas can Surge and flow and this is how chabas connects to all of the week so it's not just that every day I read a little bit of this book and I I am anticipating chabas the it works also that from chabas I what I'm able to bring the blessing to the entire week and he brings here the end in 19 from the K in the arrow Who quotes the arel that says from Theos and suda Friday night Sunday and Monday receive BR the second chabas me and Shak means BR the Tuesday and Wednesday like if if you have something going on in your week and you need BR so focus in on on these meals and this uh daving and Sh 20 and send Blessing to Thursday and Friday but these blessings are not actualized until malava Mala which is a vehicle to transfer all these blessings to the week my friends let's spend time malava Mala we spoke about malava Mala many years ago that the place where yovino has his dream is called badeel and the place before it was called badeel was called L and L is the name of the bone that is fed um from the belava Mal which is from RE we will be resurrected so really this whole section is about bringing from the holy to the profane from shabath to the week did that make sense made sense to me okay my friends we finally got there so here we go we now we did the ol the world we had the four kingdoms going up and going down with their jerseys we had AR Isel Angels going up and the angels of the coming down and and and they look different right one has more muscles than the other like you know in my simplest terms they go up they come down Mo shabas they go up they come down old vbo make shabas part of who we and what we are so far so good did I lose you just and so so again it it it it's really Mo shabas that's what this section is about um that the kar Angels go up yeah so so the the angels of erel come down and the AR Angels come up so the no the angels of AR Israel are going up and they come from the land I'm going to answer you at the end so hold on tight don't leave got it okay good let's talk about people because we are people and and and this is really intense Ready set go rev Hersh rev her is great 22 God's messengers of Divine Providence Holy beings who by God's decree are active on Earth he sees them ascending and descending ascending on high to receive their orders from God and descending bow against him he sees that man's fate is not decided on Earth in the physical world he sees that God's Messengers Ascend the ladder and look at the ideal image of man as he should be and then descend and compare the ideal image to the image of man and he actually is by this standard they then deal with him for good or for bad which means is that our angels that surround us at all times all right and this again is imagery yeah our Angels go up and see the perfected Vision Hashem has for us then comes down and looks at who we are and based on the disparity or the alignment between the two that is how Hashem deals with us the vision of who we are and the who we who we can be and the vision of who we are we have spoken about many times that shabas are it's Hashem shows us this Vision ourselves what's our y will we have have an insight into the perfected us and that's why we don't leave our place we focus in on self the imagery I'd like to give is like a thousand piece puzzle we are the puzzle pieces but to do a puzzle you need the Box the picture on the box shabas is a picture on the box that's AR Sham this Rabbi France speaks about is really that alignment between the two is really what our lives are about he speaks about mosha Renu would he go down in history how he would go down in history and he says there's a clue in 23 to the answer on the way the almighty addresses him during this encounter Moshe Moshe the mighty States his name twice it only occurs four time in M when AB stood at the the almighty said to him Abraham Abraham the medis tells us that the almighty was making a veiled reference to the Heavenly Abraham in other words there's an image in heaven of the ideal Abraham the perfect Abraham the ab's potential is fully realized when a passal the AA when he showed himself ready to sacrifice his one and only son to obey the almighty command he reached that level of perfection right here on this Earth at that moment the imagery of I on Earth mirrored the imagery of ab on Heaven and the almighty declared abrah Abraham both Abrams are identical and that's what happened here the angels went up and saw the vision of yakob ainu in heaven they looked down and saw the vision of yakob ainu down here and indeed they were what they were one and the same um and this in 204 these fours are really challenging today just as they're it's above 25 if you can't seem to see it neither could I just as there are two Abrahams top right and two Moses there also two of each and every one of us there's one image in heaven of what we could and should be and then there's the image of the reality here on Earth can these two images be brought into alignment so they become mirror images they certainly can but it's up to us that is our mission here on this Earth when the opportunity presents itself it's our responsibility to rise to the occasion otherwise we may Remain the unfulfilled image of ourselves that bears no resemblance to our image in heav is this intense yeah so let me take make it a little bit more intense and maybe bring it down to earth a little bit there's an idea in zberg it's 25 I'm going to do it outside you can follow with me inside we say in like the days of Heaven on Earth what does that mean since when do the days of Heaven enter what planet Earth so a cabalistic interpretation is Hashem has a vision in heaven of K the days of how the days look on Earth which means that before every day and Hashem shows us this image before we're born beginning of every year every day Hashem has to the finest detail of how we are supposed to act on this day it's recorded in shamay the perfected self what is our job to live up I'm going to use this expression to our higher self let's take an example imagine God would come to me imagine it won't happen but just you can imagine right un when Mas come will be and he says to me shirra let me tell you about tomorrow you're going to wake up and you're going to have a traffic jam just leaving your house and and so like every day yeah and and and just you know and and he tells me he says you're going to be in a rush and you're going to be in a store and the person's going to have a check that's not going to go through and you're going to be waiting there 10 minutes and this is testing your patients and I know you can do it and he goes through my whole day and he tells me each and every challenge I'm going to have and why it's good for my MOS okay and I wake up in the morning and guess what it's starting to happen there is that garbage truck right in front of my park car and it's just just sit there wow thank you God I have really appreciate it it's working and it's building me and sure enough I go into the store and guess what 10 minutes on the clock and instead of growling and darted eyes at this person like why can't you get your check I'm smiling at them thank you this is working on my patient this is so good for my meos and I live my whole day you know and I'll tell you it was funny which isn't like haha funny I taught this I teach this on Friday I uh I pre-record it for for the world so to speak whoever wants to listen and um and I gave this example and then a few hours later it's a of shabat and to pre-record on Friday on a four o'clock chabas with the gah it's like it's really stressful and I'm in the mad and one person Cuts in front of me and then a second person Cuts in front of me and it's a of shabas and I need one ingredient you ever have that you just need that one ingredient you can't go on and they're just cutting right in front of me and my initial reaction which is my reaction and then I stopped I said cha you just taught this wow thank you who else would like to cut in front of me anyone else this is so good I'm working on my patience this is building my muscles wow it's so not easy what they're really not right to be cutting in front of you they didn't think they were cutting in front of me he just wanted a cigarette and then it just got a from this thing to that thing he just wanted one thing and maybe you'll say that that boy didn't see me I I could okay it's stretching so many of my muscles judging people for the benefit of the Dow so many muscles the vision down here and the vision up there and CES Seer again I'm I'm just paraphrasing because we have still a lot to do um in in 26 e through G he says let's do G inside so we get a little bit of a sense the bottom is stor in 26 yeah I use that word again it's not a word this is our job and every day to know up in heaven it's written how this day could look and how it should look and this is our job is to try to connect Heaven and Earth yak of yov the angels of above and the angels of below that we should be aligned I will add here before we get too depressed in 27 revarse again it appears that asem in our verse in contrast to the Mal Elohim of the preceding verse the angels are God's Messengers in the world order which he created and sustains by his power a world order in which everything is measured and weighed in ACC ordance with the attribute of strict Justice the Angels see everything in every person strictly as they are and where they are but Hashem stands by the person in the education of man it's not only sees the past and the present but also sees and shapes the future double underline it sees in the person the present of the present the person of the future and if there's a kernel of good in him it preserves this kernel and develops it so are the angels are very what yeah they're very wed Hashem also sees that we're what we're trying and he sees we're making an effort and he sees we're moving forward and we also have to see that part of the image of this dream of Yakov ainu so Yakov vinu is speaking to each and every one of us yes there Angels going up and down which is the perfected self and yes there's God yud V who stands and he's able to see my potential he's able to see that I'm really was but I'm trying okay my friends the final idea for today which is probably the most powerful which I didn't leave much time for which is the next three pages or so but we're going to manage ready okay we'll do a lot of it outside I always mess up time wise um 28 and 29 will begin the ne the neim says we know that every single one of our thoughts speech and deeds creates a reaction in the spiritual world oim is us we trigger we set into motion angels I say a braa I set into motion a spiritual uh what's the word uh process give me a better word energy is a good word yeah and then the angels from above come down and will then put that energy where it needs to be and the example we gave is a perfect example I learned H shabas in my you know my living room in raat ches that creates Shira for Soldier on the battlefield ah I'm not on the battlefield it doesn't matter what I do sets up Angels o that then have the effect in heaven that your deem will then impact in life now um and that's why he says in the double squiggling it's everything is dependent on us and who we are the 31 again I apologize that I'm paraphrasing but you have the sheets in front of you he says that Yakov was shown this imagery to show you we like puppeteers we control the angels we can bring them up or we can bring them down 32 is going into goem says I want you to know what power pack you are you are holding wherever you are you create a spiritual reality of bringing up or down spiritual effects This was meant to give Yakov ainu like a boost like you know don't think you're leaving AR Israel no you are a walking AR Israel we are a walking spiritual mindfield in everything we do for good and for the it and that's why in 33 and 34 this was the message that hasem gave CL Israel at mad you are the end of 33 you are a holy nation which means you are a kingly nation you are people who are the the pilots of of the captain of the ship you are in charge and why was this important he brings a fancy Hebrew word in the D in here's a fancy Hebrew word this is supposed to be a what I love when they do this motivation to keep to our mids and this is really the imperative that we need to teach our children grandchildren great grandchildren of Soros that that we're great and every time we say AA what effects it have and that we come from a holy nation and that we have to live up to that that that mandate right we say this in our you should tell your children I want them to know that our name should be called through them that when they do something they should feel the pride that they are what you know you know just I remember growing up my my father's family was in America uh my kids are I think sixth generation born uh us I mean they're we're really red white and blue over and over um so they were written up the family in Leo yung's Book Men of the spirit of of Living in America and being able to be you know Orthodox Jews in America I I think my great-grandfather had eight of of his 12 children who went to Ivy League schools or Tau in Ivy League schools I mean and maintain their Orthodoxy it was very unusual you know in that period so my father used to paraphrase it's not the exact quote because I've seen the article since but as a child he used to paraphrase a line from that book and this is what he would say he said our family are a pinnacle unsalable by man I had no idea what Pinnacle was I had no idea what unsalable was but I knew one thing that we had to live up to a vision of being a what a pinnacle on aaable man again I had no idea what that meant but I do meant I knew that it meant that we had to be what great and we had to achieve greatness and we had and that is like when you grow up with this I'm talking about from like three years old yeah you you know that your life is about what AI achievement growing doing something that's where that's the image of the the Sul yeah but in in a positive way now two final ideas and I'm almost out of here Rabbi I'm watching I'm I'm watching it's 10:13 I'm I'm I'm I'm on the I'm I'm on here life sometimes we have to recognize I don't know what the last P I'm getting nervous we have to recognize in 37 that the Angels go up and down life is not always about going up sometimes we come what down but know that once we've come down our job is to what go back up and then says great V he says theara's job is not to get us down it's a TKO it's to what to keep us down he says sadness is not an AA it leads to all the AAS happiness isn't a Mitzvah it leads to all the Mitzvah such a the the Four Angels the angels of er Israel Shana angels of shabas and going up and down angels of of going up and down nefes we have to realize that the two parts have to align themselves on the disparity and nefes is that we are in control of of the world and every action we do and every small thing we do creates Ripple effects T oros flips this around and he says the end and this answers your question the end ver 40 the end of the scene is that Hashem stands by yob at that moment when Hashem is over Yakov ainu where is Hashem really found on Earth so now the Angels who live in heaven when they come to Earth to where God is found they're not descending they are what ascending because this is really where God is found and once we got the Torah is found here so really we begin where we end where we began of course it's ascending and descending if Hashem is found here okay the Angels live in heaven but for the angels to come to do hashem's bidding they have to go up to the ground because they're going up to God God and then when they leave God they are what descending back to heaven and we need to feel that intensity of closeness in our relationship to Hashem
