Parshas Balak: The Mysterious Patterns of Jewish History

this tour class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good evening everyone welcome everyone thank you for coming we'd like to welcome all of our tour anytime viewers just briefly I would like I was asked to mention that this coming Tish above uh tourneytime.com is launching a new tissue buff program that's going to be streaming live on Tish above so if anyone's not able to make it to shul they could take a look at the programs on that on that website on a legal holiday you see that tells us and the Posse can to heal him says very interesting when I take a holiday animation then I'm able to judge people and points out that while we're always obligated that make sure that our main priority in life is nevertheless when it comes to certain days of the year if my son will say reviewed what happened how come you didn't spend your time learning so during the rest of the year a person perhaps could excuse himself by saying I was busy I had to make a living had to pay the bills so forth but then Donald Trump says but what did you do on July 4th yeah you're off yeah nothing better to do you had a whole day hours and hours and hours so if a person's not going to have an excuse for July 4th then not only is everybody so I'm going to judge a person for July 4th then the Revenge some judges a person for the entire year says I will look at the days off you had and then anime Adam then I'll be able to judge you but at least if a person comes to learn on the legal holidays at least a little bit there's some Hamlet so there's some excuse for the rest of the days okay this evening we're going to examine a unique phenomenon in Jewish history which we see and we find only with the Jewish people and that is if we were to analyze the histories of the nations of the world you know we would plug them into the machine and we would see you know the uh the chart the peaks in The Valleys so most of the nations of the world you know you plug them into the EKG most of the nations of the world would be basically flat sometimes they're more successful sometimes they're less successful but basically they have a certain stability however if we were to plug the Jewish people into this machine it would come out a lot differently than any of the nations of the world you would see unparalleled Peaks times of unparalleled success for the Jewish people financial success economic success social success political success times when we've reached the top top the highest possible level Any Nation could reach and other times unfortunately we've experienced the worst tragedies the worst catastrophes the word the lowest of the low we fall in Rock Bottom Liberia why is that why is that why is the history of clients who are so full of unparalleled success and then terrible disaster how do we explain that how do we explain this phenomenon and in fact the gemara ready Mustafa Magilla points out that the Jewish people are compared to two different items number one we are compared to the Dust and on the other hand we're compared to the Stars when Haman comes home and tells his wife zaresh about what's happening with him and Mordecai so what does Zara say to Haman isai is a descendant of the Jews that you've begun to fall before him you will not Prevail why you will surely fall before him and the gemara magillas the gemara infers what are these tuna Felice what are these two fallings King not file t-pile if you look at number one what are these two fallings referring to says the gamara um this nation is compared to the dust compared to the stars when they fall they fall rock bottom Roxane Island and when they rise they rise to the SAS so this is not just a phenomenon that we observe this is a phenomenon that the gemara tells us the Jewish people are destined to face we are destined to reach rock bottom or to reach the highest peaks we're compared to the dust we're compared to the Stars why is that why is that the the pattern of history that Kalisto follows and we find elsewhere the Demonic subas tells us Israel the Jewish people are fortunate because when they do the will of Hashem no Nation can have any dominion over them and when we don't do the will of Hashem then not only will we be delivered in the hands of the lowest of the low not only will will we be delivered in the hands of the worst enemy the animals of the worst enemy will have dominion over us that's the fate of the Jewish people either we're on top of the worlds or walking in the clouds or everyone stepping all over us how do we understand that why why why is that the pattern of our history so we turn to a few very difficult silk in this week's parisha after Bullock summons villam and billum's ready he's standing there on the mountain he's overlooking the Jewish people he seized the Majesty of Claus Israel the plastic tells us you know where you summoned Me From You summoned me from Aram and you told me if go curse the Jewish people go direct your anger toward Israel and the first question we need to ask is why in the world is bilam telling balak by the way you know where you got me from you got me from Iran no kidding knew exactly where he got him from balak had to pay big bucks to to hire billum he went there he sent his Messengers and he got fill them we don't think Bullock knew where billum got you know you signed a free agent right you pay him a lot of money and you say you know where I just got you from I took you off this team really no kidding right obviously that's but it's not why in the world is bilum introducing his drasha by saying don't look you know where you got me from you got me from Aram of course again from Iran and and this is important and let's say he would have got him from Brooklyn it would have made a difference who cares where he got him from and then he says like this he says how could I curse what God is in cursing um Hashem how can I get angry at what hashem's not getting angry at and then he says the following erenu I see him from the top of the Rocks um I see them from the Hills so think carefully what is this referring to Rashi points out and it's quoted in number 16. billum was making reference to the origins of the Jewish people what do you mean says I looked and I seek out and I investigate the origins of the Jewish people what are the origins of the Jewish people the other is and I see they are standing on firm grounds they're standing on what's the Latin expression that firm Earth Terra Firma they're situated they're still right in our share in the morning we like we have to quote Aladdin phrase at least once a day right we're standing on firm grounds there's there's they are firmly implanted why because they're based on their others avraham yes and they're standing on their image Sarah so now we turn to a most wonderous State Fair called the drashos of the national stuff it was the time in Mohawk of Brooklyn Village of course was the primary disciple of the village was one of the tamidam of Hakim one of the main tal medium of time from the time that he was 15 years old he was a student in the village Yeshiva and this is a piece that was made well known by a great Rabbi Rabbi Isaac Bernstein this is a piece that he came across and he made popular and we're going to delve into this piece and elaborate on it and what the national stuff it points out over here is that why is it in public tests look what bilam is saying he refers to the strength of the Allah he refers to the strength of the image but yet he uses a slightly different terminology when referring to the others than when he refers to the imamis when he refers to the tsurim that surimar refers are the others he says I see the heads of the others when he refers to the image which refer which are called give eyes the Hills he doesn't use the description again when he refers to the tsurim he may rise to remarenu when he's looking at the othersim for some reason he's only looking at the heads of them maybe only avraham navinos but when he looks at the image um he sees all the mice why is that why when it comes to the others and when it comes to the imamis he refers to all of them that's question number two you tell me what does it mean what is still I'm trying to say when he says the heads only their heads obvious it's like he looks at Mount Rushmore he only sees the heads and either but the mice he sees the whole what is that what is that talking about and then billum continues and he says you know why I can curse them I can't curse them because of they don't mingle with the guy in they don't mingle with the guy in who care what does that got to do with anything they don't mingle with the guy what there's a halacha you can't curse I mean what's that got to do with anything and then billum says who could count the dust of yaakov what's that talking about what's us but the Dust In Their Shoes you know and they they come after long day of work what does whoa and who's counting the duck who would want to count the dust and why is he calling us dust and why is the fact that we're thus the reason that he can he can curse us so the whole Indian of these took him first of all why bilam introduces his drasha by saying I come from Iran yeah right who really cares what does that got to do with anything number two why billum says I see the heads of the others okay very nice and what's the point of that says [Music] all of these things will say it in French don't make any sense right it doesn't make any sense we can't understand it okay begins his approach to understand the whole Indian of bilham coming to Krishna Israel with the gemara and broccolis right we're going to take uh give you a little test ready how many fathers did we have right how many five three right even though you know there are four fathers we had three three fathers who are they very good I remember says the gemara are we allowed to call anyone else and have you know let's say I wake up one morning and I'm in the mood of saying you know lady was also one of the others am I allowed to do that no let's say I say I want to come moisture enough you know I like him Moses you know he was a nice he took his head of Egypt I want to call him and have you know he gave us that Mana bread you know you could think you could imagine it tastes like I want to call him a father you know are you allowed to call my show father no you had to call schlein my father no only three you can only call three individuals of us you can only call foreign [Music] I like that story I want to call her a mother also no we don't let him you're not allowed to okay that doesn't matter what the hell is all these great Jewish women they're not image they're not image why why can't you call anyone else an ass my timer in other words why can't we call Reuben and I have shiman and I have lady enough why not bro we are selling against the villain ah maybe the reason you can close the villain and AV is what do you mean he's an ass we don't know we come from so you're going to call him a father he says if the reason why we can call the schwate is because we don't know which one we come from don't tell me the reason we can call Ruben Shimmer and Levy of it because we can't we don't really know which one we come from because we don't know if we come from Russell or if we come from Leia LMA why do we only call three people others right if you know if uh if the avraham was going you know and and they called up the nashik called up about avraham he would be able to say avraham was very cautious after that they weren't really as cautious that's what the Kumar says they they didn't they were very they were great people they're compared to Adam if they didn't reach quite that level and therefore others after them they don't they don't meet the bar are you safe so yes if we once had a whole Shearer from the packages was what we call anas and a Ben and that's why Yosef is mentioned both in safer gracious and the beginning of shemas ifner says that's why at the end of gracious it ends with the death of Josef in the beginning of some ice begins with the death of the Isaac because he always said bridge the gap between the others and and the schlatten and the bunny ramban says that say for gracious is the book of the others say for shemais is the book of the banan and yosis is mentioned in both because he was both an Avon event and we explained that's how we we understand the passing into him we once spoke about that by but in general we're only allowed to call three of us avraham yes the gamara is only explaining why we can't call others people after Abraham why can't we call others people before avramid maybe Shane why can't we call shame enough shame was a very holy guy right shame what did shame do for a living he's a Russian Shiva he's a Russia Shiva he's sad and learned where did he go to learn right he didn't go to brisk he went to Shiva shame he was a bigger Shameless a big Russian Mr shella Mr shock lived more than 900 years he had that's called Arisa right he lived a long time he killed why can't he be an ass ready the gamara is only addressing why the people after music is not even entertaining the possibility that great people why can't Adam he's not enough right by the way tonight is the yard side of the arakima college his hus of all all of mankind were in other maricion so right he was considered the great tree so why can other mauritian be a father yeah who says why can't I have to be a father right we say in the dabbing Rosh Hashanah Vega is why can he be a father why can't he be a father says an awesome idea what is a father how do we find how do we Define the concept of father a father is one who in him is the kayak of the Son and the grandson and the great Grandsons in other words this remember when Cayenne killed hevel what does Hashem say to Cayenne [Music] the voice of the Bloods of your brother why Bloods how many person has done why Demay says the tiger monkeys dumb of the damn zarisa of in other words a father contains in him not just him you look at a father in the father is the son his physical makeup right right the father is Mother's kayak to the son the father gives the son his physical makeup his spiritual DNA a father is the one who allows the son to exist but it's not just when the sun is here we say the father created him even before the sun comes to the scene the son the grandson the great grandson are all nislal and the father however we find that avraham avino was not supposed to have any continuity whatsoever Avro mabino looks in the Stars and he says Hashem what is this business you're telling me that I'm gonna have children grandchildren great-grandchildren huh I look in the Stars and I see the star the consolations that represent the nations of the world the stars that represent Greece Rome Persia and all the great Empires and they all have their source in the masolas in the stars that means naturally they have existence they have a source of nourishment in the physical world but I avraham says I look in the stars and you know what the Stars say about me and my people they say about me and my people that we should not exist you know why because there is no luminary that directly corresponds to me and my people which means if we if avramovino was able to look with the best telescopes and NASA technology and understand astrology how pee I'm a rhyme and I'll Piva gamara the natural setup of the heavenly bodies was that there should be no avraham and no Jewish people because as we see avraham naturally was an akar he was not physically capable of having children he was impotent says the gemara even he was a TomTom Sarah was not just an akara so it was not just incapable sorrow was an islandist she did not even have a uterus and therefore naturally there should be no cloudy as well and therefore if we were to look in noyak and say Naya what is included in you would say Nayak and his son and the second generation and the third generation and the fourth generation the fifth up to avraham that's it if you were to look in the physical makeup of Nayak the spiritual makeup of Nayak included in Nayak was only until avraham and that's it why because avraham was not supposed to have any physical continuity by the laws of nature and even more than that because besides the fact that avraham was not supposed to have any continuity avraham himself by Nature should have left this world in the middle of his career when when he was thrown into orcasm he's thrown into the fighter was thrown into the fire naturally that should have been the end of it and there first we would examine through proper lenses what was included in Adam harishon what was included in Nayak included in them was all the generations up until avraham avinu and that's it but they did not include the children of avraham yes all the generations of Israel they did not include me and you in other words while we may physically be able to trace biologically our lineage back to knife and back to Adam they are not our father because God did not include in them us the plan was they would have chosen graduate until avraham but then something changed what happened in times of avraham Hashem says to avraham you're right avraham naturally you should have no continuity whatsoever naturally there is no star no constellation that corresponds to you but what I'm going to do is like the Novi says in ishaiah Ani Hashem avraham I will create avraham avina avraham was created anew who was avraham's father spiritually be better soon right no no no Immaculate Conception of it right we only believe in Immaculate Reception no Immaculate Conception this we're not talking about the biology of avraham we're talking about the spiritual genetics of avraham there is no connection between avraham and Terrace and now we understand the last person says what do you mean still alive Taff didn't die until many many years after avraham left so now she says well we don't want people to know that Tara didn't diet because it would look bad for avraham that he just you know left home he left his old elderly father so we rode in the Tarak died even though he didn't that's what Rashi says what does that really mean what that means is and this is the way the hafla explains it and this is where the morale explains it that conceptually once God speaks to Abraham avinu and selects Abraham avinu and the avraham emerges for more casim karach is as good as that there is no connection between Abraham and Tara Tara's career in relation to avraham is he's over with he's kaput he's it's kiilu he's a mace why because once avraham emerges for more qasim and he's being recreated that's what it says once avraham comes out of that fire and it's created Anew it it's like he doesn't have a father now he's not related to Tara he's not related to narak he's not related to to Adam he's a new being it's as if that's the meaning of Rashi and in fact the heffler explains does anybody know in the certain editions of sifi Tyra there's a very special letter that appears by the words there is an upside down none in the safer Towers if I don't have it the rash you say for Tara had it there's an upside down nun and Rashi explains why because until avraham came to the world there was great anger in the world enough Abraham comes the world and he changes that explains we've already we've said a number of times represents what the sharonun the 50th gate of kadusha basically what the hefla explains is that until avraham avinu the world was on the 50th level of Kuma it had sunk to bottom bottom bottom whereupon avraham comes and he turns it over he starts to turn the page from the 50th level of Toma he is now moving Cloud Israel up to the 50 levels of katusha but avraham and Tara biologically have I have a connection but as a spiritual Heir avraham has no relation with Tara is as good as that and therefore when we talk about who are other Sons Abraham yes shame nice people not nothing to do with us they're not related to us we have no commonality with them we have no relation to them we have no connection to them not even not even shame not Tara nobody we only have three of us avraham yes ah therefore if that's the case Bullock understood that if he's going to undermine the Jewish people you know it's like you're cutting down a tree what are you gonna do you want to cut down a tree so you take your chainsaw and you tap it in half not gonna work the tree is going to regenerate so what do you got to do you gotta uproot you gotta uproot so Bullock understands in order to affect client Israel he needs to get to Our Roots you know he needs to get to ours he needs to get to the core of Thai so where we come from and that is the other exact Nation says you know A wise man once said No One Can Hurt Like a brother no one can kill like a spouse right you hear that no one those closest to you can hurt you more than anyone else that's the way it is right a brother could could that's the way it goes the closer someone is to you the more ability they have to hurt you whether it's in the physical world socially emotionally and in the spiritual world as well that means Bullock understands that if he's going somehow to affect the Jewish people he has to do it through someone who's related to them connected to them someone who comes from the same areas of the world that they come from and therefore balak goes to our place of origin we're those at where did avraham avinu come from [Music] where did Sarah come from where did rivka come from tadan Aram where did Rocco come from where did Leo come from padding around and therefore bollock says I know exactly where I'm going I'm going to Aram Veer is the only location where I could find someone who could get to their core and therefore he selects none other than bilam minarum he has to in order to affect the Jewish people he has to get to our core and that is why throughout the Parsha every single thing billum does is to counteract the kayak of avraham avinu what does villam do he wakes up early in the morning he Saddles his own donkey hashems not so fast I haven't already beat you to it well what is this it was a competition between billum and Bullock who could wake up earlier in the morning to start the donkey no this is the battle Yeah balak is trying billum is trying to undermine the very Roots the shirish of Kalisa so I gotta wake up early in the morning don't worry how many Miss Vegas does Bill and builds seven and he makes a big point of it he says as shivas are rafting says Rashi he doesn't say shivas but he says look at these guys zero boys in total only Built seven altars avraham built four yes hook builds one Yakov Bill two and I on my own I am able to counteract them through my seven what is this this is like uh it's like you know ping pong you seven here seven there well what's the battle the battle is in order to undermine Kai Israel filam needs to get to the roots and that is why you find you know billum's traveling to to attack Cloud Israel so the first time it says you know he's going on the road and one side there's the wall and the other side is open and then the second time is going excuse me the first time it's open on both sides he could zero to the right Vera to the left the second time he's going on one side there's a wall he's able to you know turn to the other side and then the third time he's boxed in on all two sides says Rashi yeah God is showing him about the others what are the others got to do with walls so the system explains what Hashem was showing balakwas he want to attack avraham you have two ways to go you could get them from the angle of you smile you could get them from the angle of the Bene Katura you want to attack Yitzhak that's why the first time it was open on both sides it says you want to you wanna yeah it's not you have one angle a stuff but you want to attack yaakovino there's no room to attack that's why he sealed the deal he made us unpenetrable but this was the mahalak Abdullah bilam was coming from his connection his deep-seated connection that connects the fact that he came from the same city as us he was related to us especially according to what we learned last year that who was villain villain was none other than me as the target says the number nine this is right so somebody asked that billum lives 500 years but I've arrived from Love on time right he had a lot of fish oil so he lived a very long time right was Love on by the way that's what it means when did he want to destroy everything same person Google or actual it's a big discussion but there are those who say actual some say he was his son some say he was his grandson some say Grant great grandson some say it was him and some say Gilgo different opinions look in the Benny hayada different opinions but in any event if we say that film was Lavan 's are zaida love and is our we all come from Love on right all of every single person in this room can trace back their lineage to Lava note that right either you come from Russell or Leia right or Bill or zilpa right but we all come from Love on in fact the Magilla you know when your Maverick said you do you do the klimish twice and you do uncleist one time now Oakland was not the one who innovated onclusive from Hasina so sometimes why is it written in Russian Aramis Aramaic the Massachusetts is Aramaic that's our ancestral language from the z11 we always spoke Aramaic the martial says and the second megillah that's the first language we spoke right when yakovina was out working and learning and you write an all right we're raising us in loveland's house way through which language did you think we heard from Isaiah the Love on I promise that's why Aramis is the native language of the Jewish people so if we say bilam Islam and Lila loving is our relative so love them and villain are the perfect candidate to be the ones to curse Cloud Israel and therefore bilam begins his public address before I start let me tell you what my credentials are my credentials are I'm from Iran and I'm the best candidate but here's the problem even though he may rise surimarano I look at their advice and I see the race of the others who's the race of the others avraham he comes from Iran now Yitzhak doesn't come from Iran he's he's born in Arizona Jacob doesn't come from Iran he's one of them but when I look at the Surin I see kimeus their first one comes from Aram and when it comes to the image um all the imis come from Iran and really I should be the best candidate to Chris Clark Israel but you know why I can't do it because I'm not related to them I'm not related to the call you sir you know why I'm not related to them because avraham avinu physically should not exist there is no Mazel corresponding to avraham avina avraham avina should have been long gone in the fire he has no physical existence and I would like to add that is why the next words of apostic are Yakov who could count the dust of yaakov why Arthur abrahimovino says I should have been offer right I should have been offer to the Arcada excuse me through the orcasm in other words what pilum is saying because which means we have no physical existence I'm not related to them anymore I may be their physical grandfather I may have a common physical DNA but I'm not their app not only am I not I am not related to them the cloud you swell has no relations to the um while the world would like to say we're all Brothers we're all sisters we're all family it's not true we're not family we're not Brothers we're not sisters [Music] share nothing in common we're not our cousins we're not second cousins we're not related we have nothing in common with them especially yeah he is lucky karizara only Yitzhak is considered the the seed of avraham Aveeno and therefore the nachestav it says while bilam is saying that really I should have been the best candidate for the job and he may Royce um [Music] nevertheless we're not related we have no connection so let's let's understand that a little bit hashems Hashem says Abraham you think that by Looking In The Stars you don't see that you have any Source in the constellations right there's a concept that everything in this world God controls look in the dark Hashem everything is orchestrated through the movements of the heavens and there is no constellation or Heavenly Body corresponding to claiso which means if we were to look into the heavens and ascertain what does nature have to say about the our future as a people right let's say we were to look into them and then understand the meaning what do the constellations have to say about our future they say we should be annihilated they say we should not exist there is no physical constellation corresponding to us but Hashem tells avraham saying forget about it forget about that Hashem he took him above the stars and he said eight miles throughout the Jews are not affected by this system okay so then what light what luminary are we connected to them if we have no corresponding force in nature then what force are we connected guys and he brings out many of the much of the Jewish says every nation has to have its source in some ma'ar and some luminary what is our source our source is luminary our great body of light is the Tyra which means like this naturally we have no existence whatsoever if we connect to the Taro midsize then we are connecting to the greatest source of strength and then Christ was able to rise above all the um and experience unparalleled success financially economically socially politically because we are rooted in the highest source but when we disconnect from the Torah and we have no Source in the Torah then what do you think is going to happen we have no source of nature then what happens is the absolute Annihilation classification of the Jewish people that is the pattern of History we connect to the Torah we're successful we don't connect to the title we can't not that we can't be successful not that we're gonna you know barely make it not that where things are going to be difficult and hard we can't exist we can't exist we have no Source in existence that is the pattern of of Jewish history and it says clever that is what the gemara means most fortunate that we are connected to something other than physical phenomena we are connected to the light of the Tyra you connect to the Torah and um can have any dominion over us they're connected to the stars and the sun we're connected to a much greater source but when we disconnect from the Torah not only will be below the nations of the world we have absolutely zero existence that is the explanation for what zaresh understood right even hamon's wife understood this hamman's wife said we are like the stars or we're like the dirt what did she mean she meant like this hamon just look at the direction if you have ascendancy and you're about to trample on them you know what that means they're not keeping the Tyra you'll destroy them but once they start to rise that means they're connected to the Torah forget about it they're either compared to the stars or they're compared to the dirt and that perhaps is what villain was saying since they're not related to any other gayam why because which means we have no physical existence our existence is dependent on something else entirely and therefore that is the explanation for the history of kaiso like the gemara says in the sextubus back to number two Israel we are very fortunate this man choice we are not connected to the masalas because we're connected to what uh clever calls we are hagano zadatara that is our life that's our luminary we connect to the timer we're on the top of the world you don't we have no existence that is why the morale explains when avrah mavino comes to the scene the tar makes a point to say perak is dead is dead test didn't die no conceptually Tarak is not in the picture if avra navino is on the scene there is no connection to Texas as if Tara has has ceased to exist and we'll conclude you know we're in the month what what because Adam ravino was recreated by Hashem after the after the kitchen age as if he was never here before I have brand new creation and his connection to his previous existence is nothing there's nothing there's no he's not connected he's not related to Tara it comes out I both say that we always lay in parsha's balak and you know Rosh Hashanah is far off but when you when you land past this bollock you can't help but notice all of the many many that we find in Decline eyes right and so far as the mouth feel eyes you're full of sukum about about what we learned about what we say in Russia and in fact points out the entire story of Paris Hezbollah takes place from Yom Kippur it's very interesting is also it's also what does balak say what does say villain says Hashem is of course is the time when we begin doing shuva right we we pointed out from Zaman Orbach that the word ello comes from the targum of Ella what does ello mean right it says the Paragon the Avalon hello the word ello and Targo means to spy out hello is a month we spy out ourselves our personalities our character traits we investigate ourselves what do you do in the month of Av and have you know the sun say Ave stands for Elba Thomas this is you know the period of two that's coming it's even though we'd like to push it off you know we'll deal with it when we get there but nevertheless even during these summer months it has to be in our minds the approaching ELO Rosh Hashanah and so forth very interesting we say in that's fine when we refer to is remembered with love mean and also in other words like nice is like a side point he's a tangenta and also like you know we don't really care about Naya enough is not really that important but it might also what's the solution of the diamond awesome we don't save the gun by any of the other 29 silken codes and it says and it says and it says like you know who cares about knife says what is this this is as we've just explained as much as we think we Trace back our lineage to Nyack we've got nothing to do with has nothing to do with us we are related and no one before no one before in fact the umizo clever says you know we pointed out from all the nishamas were included in other Mari shine that is except for the national Israel they weren't in him because there were not supposed to be any where Naturally Speaking there was not supposed to be any assortment Israel was a new creation beginning with uh with avraham avina and therefore says what we're saying today even though we're not related to Tarak we're not related to Nayak we're not related to other Manali to shame to Mr Shah but just like on circus you know as a side point we bring some carbonics Island by the way Hashem you also remember the game for the goods so you know give them a you know throw them a bone give them something also and remember us but the venez are a side point they're tangential all they get is the gun yeah 70 years right but still we're not talking about you know the physical okay there's more to it though relative so that's the idea that the idea is that the history of Kai Israel is unaffected by the laws of the universe unaffected by the laws of nature we have a different Source we are rooted in a different luminary we are diff we are rooted in a different great body of life we are rooted in the Torah when we connect to the source of light when we connect to the Torah we experience unparalleled success when we disconnect from the Torah we have no existence whatsoever that is the understanding of the history of cloud Israel and this is the lesson that Bullock did not understand him him and avraham you know they grew up together like you know like it says something tomorrow right from the forest itself comes the handle for the ax right how do you cut down a forest you take a tree from that very forest and you carve it into the handle of the ax the way with right like we find in the gamara who destroyed mayaf who was mosas stop it why because David came from my health only if you come from only if you are rooting in that same Source could you destroy them so balak says villain's the guy for the job he comes from our room they come from our um he's the handle for the ax that comes from the forest itself but the problem that he didn't understand that explained to him we have no connection we have no relation we're not connected to the um they have their root we have our root and therefore Israel we are very fortunate have a great evening yes you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
