Auto-generated transcript. Not time-synced to the video.
And uh my wife said that's a very short
she so how much can you really talk
about it? Well let's see how much you
can talk about it.
Yesterday I gave a shir to a group of
teachers in mo and I talked about
and somehow after an hour there was
still what to be said. So it's not the
question of how many you have it's what
you have to do with the five. Here we
have fiveukimm.
Let's just read it.
is is the was the king. He he king. He
throned him. He reigned. He he crowned
himself king. Gay lavves gay means it's
actually from the word gava pride. He's
he's he wears the pride as if to say
he's really the only one who can wear
the mantle of pride. Lavash ovashemazaru
is is draped with with mantle of majesty
and strength.
Baltimode
every other create creature on this
world. Some just mean it means man.
Baltimode. Nothing can stand up to a
kadosh. This is just a statement of the
ultimate glory of a kadosh bahu. He's
top. He's top. That's it. He's he reigns
over everything. Nothing can can can
beat him and so on. And we're going to
see how even expands on this idea.
as
his throne is the word don in modern
Hebrew means correct. It means it's it's
in place. It's in place forever.
Nothing's going to jolt it. There's no
way of uprooting his majesty in his
kingdom.
Yes,
has caused the rivers. And apparently
the rivers, you know, also is a is a a
sense of of of strength. It's a it's a
type of symbol of strength. We know that
God forbid in a in a in a flood in uh
sometimes, you know, people
unfortunately get caught in the current
and they just can't do anything about
it, even the strong people. So, there's
something about the symbolism of the
gushing water of a of a flood. And here
causes the rivers to to rise up as if to
say and those rivers when they do rise
up they cause a tremendous noise. You
can hear it from from a great distance.
[clears throat]
I'll just say that this word is the only
word in that appears here and it caused
the problems for the commentators. But
it means has something to do with
hearing. There's a message through voice
almost like
through the voices through noise and
here the noise the the noise that's
created gives the impression that the
that the rivers they're also powerful.
So what do you tell has competition when
it comes to power the rivers give off
tremendous tremendous power and so on
and continues
Even those great sounds of the waters
which are which the waves you know break
you know that we call it the breaking of
the waves as it crashes down and so on
nothing comes to close even to the the
strength the power of a kadoshu.
Okay. So what is he saying? Saying that
a kadoshu is great and strong. Yes. And
all of a sudden the subject switches
means the means the Torah the witness
the testimony that is obviously the word
it's tr the trustworthy testimony of au
the Torah itself somehow is linked to
the baveesh
what is the word nav It's a it's an
illusion to
mdashdesh
something about
hashem
is there forever
forever. All right. So we translated the
words. What's the message of
and what exactly does this have to do
with Friday?
>> Okay. So there is something about
creation about the yim and um on day one
you have mentioning of the yamim but we
already have
and maybe the splitting of the upper
waters and lower waters of yami we have
a peric for that too what does this have
to do with shishi so first of all the
context theory so it's chapter 93 you
know what that means I'll cue you into a
secret comes after 92.
Now, not always is tom in sequential
order in terms of understanding
continuity. Sometimes, yes, I'm not a
big expert in all of Tillm. There are
people out there uh Benny Gazuntite can
name a special big specialty and other
lecturers in Tanakh and they can talk
about the par the connections between
this chapter and that chapter.
Occasionally there are connecting notes
between this and that and they come to
teach us some without spending too much
time I'll just give one example the end
of that we did for we did the
ends with
is my rock means my you know my my my
station and and he is my redeemer. Okay.
And that's the end of 19 per 20 begins.
God will bail us out in the day of of
troubles. And here say
concept arises
that we should connect the idea of
redemption with and we do it every
morning.
gaal is and there's no break and raf ko
says don't even answer amen to gal is no
he whatsoever that's why the kadesh the
half kadesh that we have before every
other before
musf before nil
where's it before yeah we have it before
we move it back to before after because
you can't say the kadesh after you say
that would constitute an interruption I
have sake. So there's
that is derived by the fact that
stationed peret and
next.
So occasionally the theim do connect and
do
teach us you know all all interesting in
this particular case a idea but what do
we have here? So Rahers points out in
his perouch on that it's not an accident
that
is because he says it's actually a
continuation of so what's
with ends
and he goes he he just runs ra just
continues with his explanation. I'll
just read the one line that he said
here. He says this psalm is a
continuation of Psalm 92. It sings of
the era when the enduring kingdom of God
which
er mankind mankind who makes errors had
had so long resisted. This is not my
English believe me. This is a some
British translator from the German. I
mean Rafersh only wrote in German. I
think I would do better with reading him
in the German. I have this uh I have the
inhes in Hebrew also. So I should have
brought that. But uh nevertheless,
Rahers, he he he just continues on on a
flow of how he was explaining and he
moves it into Gimble. There's some
connection. So if that's correct,
why is the first part for Shabbat and
the second part for Friday?
Maybe it should be the other way around
in when do we say hashemal other than
hashirish?
It's in the sither a few other times
on Shabbat. One is Friday night right
after. So we say moshabat will we accept
upon ourselves shabbat and we say
we say these two chapters one after the
other and giml and if there is a kadesh
yat afterwards it's after the second one
we don't have to have a kadesh after
misbat
you don't have to do that so we we we
say these two chapters together and then
we say kadesh they're also together in
zimra shabbat morning so after you have
well it depends if you have smart but
but before
you get back to what looks like a week
after you've done all the extras and
so on and and then so then you have and
then you have
these two chapters are there so you see
that when they're put into the into
liturgy they're treated as a unit of
gimmel hyphenated they go together. So
they're twice in the cither one after
the other.
But if you dra
means North African, if you have any
experience with North African davening,
so you know we were in Bashaba for seven
years. So uh we picked it up kind of
picked it up. But uh one of my
sons-in-law is uh of Tunisian extraction
from his father's side. Mother's side.
He's Hungarian but uh he's already mixed
but from this father's side talking
about Tamil um so we occasionally were
there for Shabbat Yamv and he the kids
are hybrids I mean imagine having a bar
mitzvah and half the para lain ashkanaz
and half the para adotra that's what my
grandchildren do so they're they're
literally well verssed in both so Friday
night they dra and shabas morning they d
upstairs in the ashkanul in kibucha
So you'll go Friday night before they
even get started with
they say they say this they say this
before they say Shabbat. So you may say
all right because they're exiting Friday
and moving into Shabbat.
That's the key why it's shisha Shabbat.
There's something about this perk that
puts us into the frame of mind, the
proper frame of mind for entering into
Shabbat. Friday is not just another day.
It's not thank God it's Friday because
you know you're going to get the weekend
off. The uh Friday has a special of er
of Shabbat and Araf of Shabbat.
There are various
that are attached to Arab Shabbat. The
Ram talks about it in his last chapter
of Shabbat. It's the 30th chapter
and he calls it on. We know that from a
from a biblical point of view we have
two mitzvot and shamat
and the sham are the don'ts. Whenever
the Torah says be careful it means do
not do don't trespass prohibition. So
all the do not do the prohibited
activities that's
so what's
interpreted as it's the positive it's
the positive mitzvah it's kdish Friday
night. So there's
so those are the biblical but then has
two addons
on and so what is on and what is so ra
defines them is everything we do on
Friday in preparation for Shabbat and on
is everything we do on Shabbat for
Shabbat's enjoyment. So you have two
different things. So he gives us case
you can't figure it out by yourself.
Raam says you you you you you you bathe,
you clean yourself, you set the table,
you clean the house, you you prepare
special foods for Shabbat and and and
among other things he writes you you
have you light you have the Shabbas
candles. This is going to be interesting
because then when he talks about chabas
candles in another place in the
Mishnetra he mentions this is on Shabbat
and that led the R's uncle who was known
as Salv to conclude that the Rambam
actually touches on wrote Shabbat twice
and and once he calls it on and once he
calls it cavod which means it's both
that means it's part of the preparation
for Shabbat to have the because when do
we light Shabbas's candles before
Shabbat god forbid you're not going to
light them on Shabbat. That's a biblical
violation. So, we light them either 20
minutes or 40 minutes before sundown um
to to to and we we it's it's almost like
the last stand of preparation that we're
doing before Shabbat, right?
The father, the husband of the house
supposed to make an announcement before
Shabbat. Did you do this? Did you do
that? Did you do that? Did you light
your candles? which means the candles is
like the last item of Shabba's
preparation and then we're supposed to
enjoy the light of the Shabbat Friday
night already and that means it's on
Shabbat. So it's not only Shabbat but
it's also on Shabbat. So Shabbat is
everything you do on Friday in
preparation. I have s a few proofs that
the word kavoat can even extend to
Thursday when it comes to purchasing
because the Mishna tells us that on
certain public fast days for Shamim
which is drought here init and and and
if they would upgrade the fasting to to
very serious uh type of fast days they
would even have prohibition from work.
People would be mourning the the the
fact that was punishing them and so on.
And it says and the fast days were
Monday, Thursday, Monday. Always Monday,
Thursday, Monday. Those are the sequent
the sequence of these fast days. But on
Thursday, they were able to open up the
marketplaces in the afternoon hours
Shabbat because people had to buy
Shabas, you know, shopping. We go on
Wednesday, but all right. [laughter]
But um but that's what the Mishna says.
And the Mishna says but you see from
there that theat
extends from Friday it pushes a little
into Thursday also you know the the
jokers would say why on Wednesday in the
end of we say
that also reminds us something about
Friday night because that's when some
people start preparing their gula to
fish on Wednesday. Okay. But but butchad
is a of Friday. It's a Friday. Yeah.
>> On Friday. On Friday,
he wouldn't eat.
>> He wouldn't touch it.
>> Right. So there was
people.
>> So we have that at home. We have the the
the So, so you know what the answer is?
You're both right. You're both right.
And you also you just confirmed
Jackie Mason's line who once ago asked
them how come Jews whatever one does the
other does the opposite. It's true. Say
shalom to somebody the guy's going to
say shalom. Right? Whatever one guy says
the other will do the opposite. So there
is a at the end that talks about
that it says in the afternoon hours
after the hours there's a whole
discussion is it the of 12:30 is it the
of 3:30 we're not going to get into that
but there's a if that has to do with
like fasting in the afternoon hours or
not having a meal a formal meal there
are people to this very day that won't
sit down and wash on on read a Friday
afternoon late in certainly in the
mid-after afternoon to let's say from
3:00 till till Shabas time but to nibble
on food theor says clearly is not
prohibited but again you know some so
some people took upon themselves a but
the idea of Friday nibbling on Shabba's
food is already mentioned in the rail
where we say on musfat in Shabbat if you
haven't figured it out it's backwards
alet
Shabbat.
You following me? Reversed, right?
Okay.
Okay. And it goes till the end. So
means something to do with flavor.
Flavor. That's not the that's not what
it really means in the but the Ram says
when you taste the food of Shabbat on
Friday to make sure that it's delicious
for Shab and it's not missing some salt
and pepper. So that's a fulfillment of
Shabbat.
So we also have a cougal that's made you
know just for the nashing. So they don't
have to nash from the real cougal that's
going to real that's going to be served.
Right. Yeah. I think more important than
for me now the food is the atmosphere of
our homes on Friday particularly Friday
afternoon
>> right
>> and if you're going to talk about
bringing in the shabas that this kusha
that then the mess that they are the
stress the last minute everything
>> right so matter what you're eating
>> absolutely absolutely it is has to do
with the atmosphere and I can tell you
that in in one of the drought note that
the RV gave of for his memory of his
father on Gimlvat. He spoke about Kdish.
That was the theme of the Shir. You'd
think you know what Kdish is until you
heard that she for four hours and all of
a sudden you discover you never knew
what Kdish really was. So you thought
Kdish was a was a cup of wine. Now Kdish
is a competition to Torah tidbits. It's
the second English speaking magazine
that goes around Kdish. But um Kdesh so
the RV there he was talking about
Shabbat and all of a sudden and I I want
you to realize Dav was not somebody who
gave Muser he didn't lash out at people.
That wasn't his style at all. He he was
he was against that whole um educational
uh method of giving talks and writing
books about how to be good. He said you
work on yourself and and try to so
project to others what proper mousar
proper moral ethical behavior is and
hope it rubs off on other people but uh
because the problem when you start
dishing it out starting giving it over
the obvious uh problem is are you so
perfect who are you to even say these
things and that's the problem because
then you run into hypocrisy so here the
r in a very unusual thing unusual he
says he says
says, "You know, you're all shabas."
This crowd, he says, "There are many who
are not shy of Shabas." And people at
first didn't know what he was talking
about. He says, "You're not a shabas.
You know, you come home from work,
you're lucky if your boss lets you out
in the winter at 3 p.m. to get home at
4:30 where the wife probably lit candles
already at 20 at 20 after 4." and and
and and you don't make it to shul
because there's no er shabas. Friday is
a weekday and just just getting home at
the last second. You're not a shabas for
sure not but you certainly warrant a
shabas that concept of share here init
religious and not religious alike
fulfill because u you know nobody's
working in the afternoon I mean they
they they once asked Leeshk you know
maybe we should go to a 5-day work week
he said okay let's start working for
three days we'll work our way up to four
days and eventually will be a five day
work week you know but the truth of the
matter is the country has gone down to a
5-day work week by not having Friday.
Many many many companies and businesses
and whatever do not work on Friday and
even if you do it's just the morning
hours and by 12 1:00 it's obviously
closing. So there is this concept of air
of Shabbat there is a feeling on the
street of the atmosphere that it's of
Shabbat. And you know the Gomorrah talks
about the famous story of Losman and his
son coming out of the cave after uh
being there for for quite some time and
the second time was was another year and
he comes out and and he sees this old
man with two hadim walking to and he
asked him what is this for what is and
he says well it's for it's for Shabbat.
So he says what do you need two? He says
one is for and one is and tells his
sonar
you know Torah can be re rejuvenated
because of I'm now using modern
interpretation one mitzvah of Shabbat
can have the genetic code of all 613
mitzvot and it can sprout once again in
others there was an optimistic note of
Hoy who saw the collapse of Torah with
the baka revolution the hrianic
persecutions. He knew that there was a
future because this old man was carrying
two hadassim, one for Shamore Zahor and
one for Shamore. I have a hunch that's
where the min of buying flowers for
Shabas came from. Right there. Right
there. And you come home with a bouquet
of flowers, right? And uh and you know,
you hope that they're going to last till
Tuesday. [laughter]
And sometimes they do sometimes. But um
the idea of Shabbat
is part of Shabbat. Let's try to see how
let's see how that happens. So in source
number two,
source number two, you have the rash
that we saw this time. But I'm just
jumping to the last line now.
completed his work on the sixth day of
creation. Right?
Now one second that
is the next chapter is chapter two init
chapter one ends with
end of chapter one. Chapter two starts
and
seems to be shabas already. It's
yet we have a custom that when we say
kdish we say
why don't you start with
so one reason is that the cabalist
introduced to have yud and a
yashi
yud hey
and you put theem together
also to connect the idea that when did a
kadosh complete he didn't complete it on
chabas he really completed it on
yashishi the end of yashishi going into
shabbat which already tells us from
there's something about yashishi that
inaugurates Shabbat there is even a
concept called tophabat
to add a little bit. Fine.
Astronomically, it starts here and it
ends there. But we're going to do
better. We're going to add a little bit
to our Shabbat. And we do add a little
bit. I'm not talking about people who
make the early minion Friday night in
the summer. That's for sure to Shabbat.
But we don't go that far. But we always
do a little bit extra. A little bit. The
reason that we light candles 20 minutes
before or 40 minutes before has a lot to
do with TOF Shabbat. And even the men
who aren't accepting Shabbat when the
wife lights candles, but the shul should
have some type of arrangement that to
get to at least or sing something before
that there's Shabbat before sundown for
for Shabbat. So the idea of
andu reigned over it. So according to
the it has nothing to do with mankind.
It has to do with the fact that created
finished finished his work and reigned
over it and now's the time to sing on
Friday. Hashem
now he is ultimately king. That's the
garra. But look how takes takes this in
source number three again
means
what was that? That's where
>> No, no, no, no. Whenever it says giml in
in I know it's the end. I know it's it
says
it's towards the end. That's a good try.
But whenever the Rambam writes gum in
his manuscript of the of the perish
Mishna, it's gimmel. But it's gra. Oh,
you said it.
>> It's gumra. It it is it's gorra. That's
that's what he means. It doesn't mean
gimar because he's going to use gimmel.
Everyone records the beginning of a.
Okay. So it's not it was good try you
know s kabot call kabot but u you you
don't believe me you go to Hebrew
university you can ask them to bring up
the uh thead of the parishna you can see
it okay
and then
on Friday
the creation was completed and Now Raham
adds something
man was created who comprehends the
greatness the exaltedness of God.
Therefore we say
so it's not that
said Friday finished the work and now
we're going to sing.
It's that mankind was the crown jewel of
the creation at the very very end who
has the ability to appreciate the fact
that a kadosh is a malik and and uh and
and and and therefore we have uh uh the
saying of according to the Rambam. So it
has something to do obviously with
creation. So let's go back to the
itself.
Everything that
created, you know, it's actually it's
it's final for sure is final.
Everything that he created that was put
into place won't collapse. Baltode is
not going to collapse because set the
rules set the laws of nature and kicked
it into motion. And if you look at
source number four, we say this every
morning
from the end of
positioned in the world forever.
This is an immutable law. It is a law
that will carry on forever with no
change.
So this is a cont.
And then
go back to in source number one
his his throne is there forever forever
which is kicks in a medish that talks
about that there were various things
that were actually on a kadu's mind
before creation of the world and one of
them happens to be Torah and one happen
to be chuva the concept of repentance
this led Rafuk to suggest
that repentance does not necessarily
have to be a reaction to sin. This is
anti-ram complete. Going to the Rambam,
if you don't do a sin, there's no chuva.
Or in my great teacher, Rabbi Tendler is
unbelievable words. There's no mitzvah
to do a so do the mitzvah of chuva.
Remember him saying that? [snorts]
So according to Rambam says
if a person doesn't say
you have to say Ram says that the whole
B whole process of chuva is predicated
on the fact that there's sin but if
there's no sin so you don't have to do
chuva yet believed that chuva has to do
with the fact that kadosh baku created a
world that was completely
um devoid of divinity of a kadoshu's
presence and our job is to have that
shina rest in this world. God's presence
return to the world. That's a different
idea of chuva. A completely different
idea. Had nothing to do with sin. And
that idea was already kicked into place
according to Rafuk before the creation
of the world. Kadosh was going to create
a world leave himself absent,
conspicuously absent. You can't see him,
you can't hear him, you don't you can go
through life without a kadu. But the
mission, the mission is to invite him
in, bring him in. And that's what
kadusha means. What was that?
>> That's exactly what simsum is. Exactly.
The capitalists call itsum to contract
contracted his presence because
so where can you have a place where
isn't there if he's
so kadoshu voluntarily
shriveled up a little bit to allow for
the creation of the world of emptiness
of of a kadoshu's presence and our
mission is to bring him back that's
called kadusha that's why the reo
explained that kadusha is something that
human beings have to do they have to do
an act to bring a kadoshbu in and you
can do it not just by fulfilling the
mitzvah. Obviously a kadoshbu says do
it. So you bring kadusha in by doing the
mitzvah fine but wants you to go further
than that. Bring kadusha even beyond
what the Torah said we should do. You
have objects of the created world and
have them dedicated to the service of
God. So if you have uh building
material, this sh has building material
and building material is all uh part of
the profane world. There's no sanctity
in in the tree that grew that made the
wood that made the blocks that made the
syndrome that made this and that and
that. But when all put together and
becomes a bet midrash and a bet. So this
part of the created world now assumes
the measure of kaduca of sanctity
because it's been dedicated to aat
clothing can be dedicated to avodashem.
So it could be big day kahuna the
uniform of the coin and the coin kad and
so on and it could be a shabish dress.
You bought something for kavot shabbat
and onik shabbat. You know, you thought
you bought it for style. So everybody in
shoes should say, "Oo, what a beautiful
dress."
No, you did it because you want to come
to in the you're looking your best. And
I want to say something. In the 1940s,
Drav was hit in Boston with a shila by
women who said they understand there's a
problem with makeup and shabas, but they
feel they're not properly dressed for
Shabbat. They go to a wedding, they're
all kaputs and everything. when it comes
to a shabi, you know, it's a let down
and and the RV used his his ingenuity to
work out how this you can use and that
you can use and this with a shino and
that's not really a du that's only
and all of a sudden and women felt more
comfortable about that. Why did he do
it? because of
because a person is supposed to feel
good about himself or herself going to
shul on chabas and that's the sign of a
tremendous pal and not simply say no
it's also too bad you know like doesn't
work like that it doesn't work like that
so here you have the puk in source
number five bet we say this on chabas
morning too in paradic of betimul
before the mountains were even born that
means created
Adam, the call for man to return was
already called out before the world was
created. This generated the the idea in
the midrash that chuva was one of those
things that was created before creation
and uh was around in the kadu's you know
planning stage before creation that
there would be this thing but it also
led Rafuk to talk about a concept of
chuva without sin because if there's
chuva before creation there's no sin yet
so what is chuva at all so that's in the
chuva of rafk so here you have uh the
idea that the world was created and it's
finalized and so on. But the master of
the world can push the button and go
back to zero. Go back to start, go back
to go, go back to the beginning and
start all over again. That's called
going back to to
it was originally nothing, chaotic,
nothing there. And avu can revert it
back to tovo. So just look at source
number six. I'll get to your question in
a second. Source number six.
There's a condition. Creation came with
a condition observes the Torah, the
world continues. If not,
I pushed the delete button and we go
back to zero. Wow. That that's that's
quite a responsibility here. And if you
look at source number seven, source
number seven, do you remember the that
we say on
of the
right
where the
called out to
I mean here you have the greatest of the
and they're going to be executed by the
Romans and they were the greatest. So
what happened? This is what the reward
of being such a great. And the second
paragraph it says
a heavenly voice comes out and says
one more peep out of you.
I will revert the whole world back to
water.
Which means taking it back. Taking back
steps in brachit. Let's go back to the
to just keep your mouth closed. This is
this is what it was.
You have you have to accept it and
that's it. It's a very very painful
you know
what we call it. Yeah.
>> Did he also write?
>> So it appears that it's a continuation.
The only thing is that with regard to
Moshabad,
[snorts]
I mentioned last week that I'm holding
it for my sh at the
in July at the
um but um and and then maybe do it here.
That's not really fair. You know what?
So maybe I'll do it here and then expand
on it over there. Okay. So if somebody's
going to go to the Mayun so go to
somebody else's sh okay you don't
because you will have heard it already
although I will try to expand on it
because we're going to see there's a
medish that says that marishian is the
author of ms mobat and it seems that it
goes together
>> if he wrote going back to
the word is used twice and the hashem
did for
>> made clothing
yeah okay So, so it it's possible that
we're going to latch on to the tradition
in the medish. Again, it's a medish.
There are other opinions that um that
maybe it dates back to the days of
Adamarish. But if you Yavaka,
you actually mentioned now several times
too, but I want to come back to whatever
mention,
>> right?
twice.
So he wants to say that there was a
person listening
to
>> Yes, that's
okay. Gotcha. Okay. So I'm not going to
repeat the whole thing, but it was a
nice point about
and so on. But you did remind me about
the Ramban because the Ramban inim
he says what does it mean should be holy
I mean you're supposed to do perform the
mitzvot you become an Adam kadosh he
says no no no no no this is beyond the
call of duty kadoshim to you is the
directive in the kish to say that you
take the 613 misvot but then take it to
a of a higher stage you create kadusha
even in things that a kadosh didn't tell
you to do and that is to dedicate them
to a vodatem However you do it and you
do it every time you take a cup of water
and you say
you have elevated that cup of water. I
mean understood this deeply when the
when the rebba the sadic you know made a
brah on food. So what is the concept of
eating shirim leftovers from the rebba
that if the rebba said a brah on this
food so the food is now contacted with
some measure of kadusha and you want to
nibble on it as well. Okay. So if you're
not aassid, you don't buy into this.
But if you if you appreciate the theidic
modes, you know exactly what I'm talking
about. If you look at the last puk on
the first side of the page, source
number eight from we know this pukarim
on the theion that was uh desolate
and there were there were foxes just
running animals astray animals running
across you know today. You want
something? I'm not a bigot. Such a
bigot. But when I see uh pal you shall
Palestinian kids playing football on
Harabay, I think of this bosuk because
what what what what we're saying is that
look, it's being trespassed. Trespass
was you know animals just running by
you
will be there forever.
Your your your throne is there forever.
This is a restatement of what it says
here in
just rephrasing the same idea.
If you flip the page,
we got the Rambam. Imagine I I once gave
a shir here without the Rambam and it
was terrible. [snorts]
So we got there.
This is the famous Rambam in
Pericv is a nickname of beta mcdash. As
you know mdash has 70 names. 70 names.
And uh if you want to see um 22 of them
open up any sid to hosana the second day
of sukkot where it says hosana
there 22 less in the alphabet. So there
you have 22 variations of the names of
yushlay and uh but the medish carries
out and carries on and there are 70
names of yushalam and 70 names of a
kadosh bul and 70 names of amrael and
very nice one of our wonderful balabatim
in remote who moved to remote bet and
deserted us. Um he Archie Garnote he's a
artist in um what's what's the the sheet
called what was it called? paper cut
paper cut artist and he did three
different pictures. One is the 70 names
of Amuel. One is the 70 names of one is
the 70 names of Akadosh. I'm sure you
can see it online on Archie Gonote. I'm
sure he still publicizes it. We have had
a home one of them of Israel and against
the background of a mirror. You see the
picture, you look at yourself and you're
part of it. It's brilliant. It's
absolutely brilliant. It's a the instead
of just a piece of paper as a backing
it's a mirror and you see the 70 names
of a of Israel and you see yourself as
as part of it. So here you have 70 names
of what does the Ram say here? Rambam is
going on to explain why he believed that
the sanctity of erit is for purposes of
the mitzvot
the agriculturally bound mitzvah of
truma and maserita and yo and so on
required kadusha that the land would be
sanctified. It was not sanctified in the
days of Abrau. It was promised in the
days of big difference.
It was sanctified when Yeshua began
conquering the land. It was an act of
conquering and that act of conquering
which took over 400 years till David and
then all of Israel was sanctified. That
sanctification was abolished and
abandoned when the Vkadetsar the
Babylonian king overran Erit Israel and
and therefore from the 70 years that
there was between Bayrishon first and
second bet mikdash erit did not have
kadusha and if there was somebody living
here init and grew vegetative crops was
exempt from the mitzvot of of truma and
masa and so on because without kadusha
there is no mitzvah
of
of the agricultural misvot that's what
the Rama says about the Israel but with
regard to the kadusha of
which begins in the days of postlik
isolates the place builds it and they
sanctify you says the raam
why do I say that should be ding ding
ding ding ding ding ding when the ram
says an Om what does that mean?
>> Means I don't have a source.
The Ram's going to say either Elli
anomi
any such variation. I don't have a
source and you can bet that others are
going to argue and you can even bet that
Abraham ben Davidid the rivid is going
to be first online to argue in hisot
because the rivid says that when the
Israel its kadusha was abandoned the
kadush of went along for the ride and
was abandoned in bay when the beta
mikdash was destroyed and Therefore uh
and the and the rivet goes further and
he says even what the Ram goes on to say
that the kadusha of Erit Israel in the
second temple era Ram took the position
that the kaduca was not abandoned after
the second destruction and that Erit
Israel today remains kadosh from the
beginning of bayeni era for the last
2500 years rivid
challenges that as well and says that if
you walk up to Harabaya today even if
your tummy says there's There's no
there's no punishment of this generated
a discussion in the last 500 years. Did
he mean to say that it's okay to walk up
to Harabayat if you're tame or did he
mean to say no no no it's prohibited but
there's no punishment of kare
that's also a big deal that there's no
punishment of k and he was taking the
ram to task because the ra said that
remains kadosh from the days of melik
until today and if you're mate you once
went to a cemetery whatever you're mate
there's no parad there's no antidote to
this tuma it's forbidden to go up to the
center of Harab the outer perimeter.
you'll be allowed to if they're going to
mikah but not the center where the beta
mikdash stood and certainly not keshim
and there's a penalty of and and that's
what that was the position that the pkim
have taken till this very day that's why
the raanut has a big sign before don't
go up
you know they don't want people to do it
they said it's became a big
public/political
religious issue it's a it's a big issue
one second and and and um and and the
Rambam really had that particular
position. And here it is where he says I
believe. Well, why do I say
when the became the first time around,
it beca it remained kad forever
for purposes of the agricultural
mitzvah. He said
it was not the wasn't permanent. Why?
Because what caused the was that
accepted residence in the US and you
can't abolish that neither from Bavl nor
Titos from Rome no the the the Salad
Saladin and the Malukim and and the
Turkim the Ottomans and the British
mandate. Nobody can uproot the fact that
a kadosh decided to be there and he's
going to remain there and so on. This is
according to the Rambam a fulfillment of
you will remain there forever. And where
is your throne sitting? You created the
world. So you know what you created the
world. You know where the first beta
mdash was actually going to be built? It
wasn't going to be built. It was briam.
It was the creation of the world. That
was the beta mikdash. As the poet khal
says and we say this on tishabove
without the ro I wouldn't have
appreciated this.
There's a p that says my tent my tent my
tent and it all refers to different
stages of beta mikdash.
Malipo, okay, it's a lot of Chinese, but
uh what Khal was saying here is your the
my tent speaking about a kadoshu my tent
that was originally the tent of Brit
this is what I had in mind except Adam
and Kava sinned and the Kadosh Bahu
retreats.
He retreats back and now we're going to
have to somehow bring a kadosh. And he
goes on he says
who is
nickname of Abrau. The tent of Aramavinu
was the beta mikdash of the day. And the
tent of of Rifka who takes over for
Sarahu is the tent of the day. And the
tents of Yakovu and his wives were the
tents of the of the day of of beta
mikdash. This was all the beta mikdash.
But it all started with with
that was going to be the original beta
mikdash.
But it didn't happen like that. What did
become the beta mcdashes?
It shrunk but it became the beta mdash.
That one address
and that is going to be there
because you know what shishi is? It's
the preration for the day.
It's the day that we bring ourselves to
be prepared for that. And that's what we
sing in. If you look at source number
10, we did this a few a year ago or two
years ago in the third stanza of the
It seems like it seems like he's not
there. It seems like we're all in the
the valley of tears and so on, but we
know that is the
he's there forever and he's going to
have compassion on us and he's going to
come back to it with us together. And
that is
the ushering in of the messianic era of
Mashiach. And this is why on Friday
getting us ready for this
