Why did Bilaam only give three of the seven blessings he was supposed to? Why was Moshe able to give the other seven? What is the idea of Ayin Hara (Evil Eye)? What is the power and concept of Ayin Tova (Good Eye)? How can one overcome jealousy of others and have an Ayin Tova? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast for the hurry goal drag record
with lashauwn's never-ending assistance
and room up which I'm sure Israel but
these 779 2019
this week's partials parshas piccu day
and we have an accounting of the
different column in different parts of
the mission of the tabernacle and before
I jump into I'd like to share with you
from our time Friedlander I just want to
mention something which is connected to
what I'm going to say what he's going to
say and that is that each week as I come
to prepare for this parsha podcast so
the different places that I look
different sources that I use often as
you may have noticed over the last few
years already I've used real-time free
then they're safer and I'm excited that
a new one just came out on safer Devoran
so when we get to Deuteronomy this'll be
the first year that we get to explore
some of those topics I'll look there
look in the men dish have a look
recently the last two weeks I was
sharing with you some concepts in my
draga sawed them that it worked out with
a Chicago brought this with God's divine
intervention that the things that I was
learning there with my son were
connected to the parsha and this week
I've been really this week last few
months already I've been focusing
personally a lot on the concept of be
talkin of trust you know shame of trust
in God and hash the calash M&C have
caught throwing onto God our package
throwing on Tosh em our needs I've been
focusing and trying to work on that
myself and and work Hashem in talking
about it a lot and seeing a lot of our
Chicago practice divine providence
around getting guidance from a Shem
finding other people that are interested
in a topic and indeed starting to be
talking podcasts which we've already
done three of and so when I started this
week's parsha to look around I really
wanted to speak about the concept of
batalha I really wanted to continue in
this in this vein I have somebody in the
mornings I spend a few hours learning
Torah in the mornings and there's a guy
in the basement there who we've been
talking a lot about be talkin we've been
discussing it we've been talking about
my draga Sodom the altar of Navarre Dec
the schita the opinion that you can just
trust in God without doing any hash
table
doing any efforts I shall send it to a
person depending upon a person's level
so I was excited extremely excited I
felt very grateful to assume that there
are two pieces in the Cystic kind this
week on partials Baku day so the pieces
are often very long and usually eight
pages or so eight nine pages or so and I
find that it's about five minutes per
page if I'm going to incorporate it into
my podcast just give me a little
background on what goes on goes into
creating this podcast this year and so
when when that's the case so then I need
to actually cut it down and break it
down and because I try to keep it to
about 20 minutes 25 minutes half an hour
maximum so but if that that really means
like four to five pages and sometimes
that's not even enough time for that so
so this week there were two pieces one
of which was a long piece and then he
asked some pieces which interestingly
are based some of them are based on the
sheer and the notes of his students and
some of them are race are based on his
remote his own personal notes he may not
have actually given over the sheer in
public claiming free land there was the
mushiya in a few different places to a
few different yeshivas and so those
pieces are often shorter and can can get
down to three or four pages sometimes
five but they they're nice because
they're bite-sized and I can you often
use the entire piece to give over this
share okay with that background so I'm
excited that part of the topic today has
to do with the concept of Utah home but
the main idea the main thrust of what
he's trying to speak about is the
concept of i'm tyfa and i Inara
which means having a good I having a
positive view and having a negative view
and the spiritual ramifications of these
two different ways of approaching and
looking at the world because the
thoughts that we have the the way that
we see things in the world effects
ourselves and others and we have a
concept classically people say can I in
Hara that it should be without and
Jara things should be you know when we
talk about any good things that are
going on in our lives we don't want it
to be an iron hora we don't want people
to look at it negatively we want people
to look at things positively but what is
the idea behind that and how does that
what does that have to do with our
parsha we're gonna find out let's see
how many meets Etica do should Grimshaw
bracha Sharia love when we we're gonna
speak about the concept of counting
because as you mentioned at the
beginning there's an enumeration in our
partial there's a little bit coude
Amishman these are the counting's these
are the this is the accounting then went
on in regards to the the gold is silver
the different K in them all of the
vessels that were created so there was
an accounting there was an enumeration
of all of those things now ordinarily we
were going to see we find when it comes
to counting things there's a negative
aspect of counting them counting things
can bring about an eye in Hara a
negative view of those things and we'll
see what is it what exactly does it mean
what does it mean that somebody sees
something negatively what is how does
that affect it
let's see annealing how missional number
of initial when a name nokama parliament
the concept of the Mishkan was said and
repeated and counted a number of times
the frat mean and pakodi Hamish more
specifically the counting of the
accounting of the Michigan of the
tabernacle comes a cassavas of an
equation shimon Myshkin how much gold
and silver and bronze was in the
tabernacle the h the havi no I do a hot
area month circles ever need to
understand why did the Torah enumerate
these things car a in Abraha mozzarella
but the WrestleMania ayan we have a
general principle the sukumaran tiny son
of kazuma base page 8 a 8 B and that is
that when we want blessings to come into
a place we want blessings to befoul to
take effect on a certain thing so it has
to be something which is hidden from the
eye we don't want it to be looked at a
person wants to be rich person wants to
have hats laka so the best thing is to
beat sneeze the best thing is to be
modest about those things if a person is
trying to accomplish things the same
person is trying to finish shots you're
trying to finish difference for him so
there's an idea that it's not something
that's necessarily supposed to be shared
with the public of course there's
idea of inspiring others that certainly
needs to be taken into account but we
want blessings to come upon something we
want to cover it up so it shouldn't be
seen so the question is why is it then
regards to the mission of the tabernacle
the Torah is enumerated the Torah is
giving us a break down account of what
happened there that what all the
goings-on were kikuchiyo bazaar
this question is asked in a Tsar maybe a
skosh or later edition I'm gonna read to
you from the Tsar he brings here like
this Revere's clock ask the final
question already Shimon bar Yohai I'm
early he said ha kumuda because Allah's
Sharia the meal to come him in D do we
find that blessings do not take effect
on something which is counted Luba Mila
dicamba Koosh mana and something that an
accounting is made of how can we miss
Jana I might have a color but cool about
Lena why is it that when it comes to the
tabernacle
everything is indeed counted everything
is indeed given an accounting overlay so
be sure mind I answered him hi it's Marv
we know that it said alcohol attired the
citric the kedusha Shia lay an amazing
thing
it's there's an important distinction
when our blessings going to come upon
something or when are they not going to
come upon something any place where the
side of holiness is there is taking
effect
yahushua Nasia messager the kedusha if
that counting if that accounting is
connected to the side of holiness to
hashem to godliness
Beerfest of Charlotte order so the
blessing is always found there like a
sardine mania and the counting doesn't
have a negative effect me now on me mice
we find that this is true in regards to
the tithe began the hacia coachman in
the coach Shah
since the counting is coming when a
person counts off his his
excuse me when a person counts the
produce that has come in that he has
produced in order to give off a tenth of
it as a tithe because our stock cuts pay
so the effect is that a blessing comes
upon it like like we mentioned I believe
it was last week uh perhaps the weeks
before us there she'll shoot this I
share when a person gives my so when he
counts it in order to give off a tithe
to charity
the result is that there are blessings
the person gets he becomes rich
kosha gain Mushka know certainly when it
came to the tabernacle do you cut ish I
see mr. Jude the Kaddish it itself is
holy and it comes from the side of
holiness it's all about the entire
essence of the tabernacle was in order
to connect to the side of holiness to
godliness about kosher meal Adama but
all other matters in the world delight I
see mr. Chu the kedusha which do not
come from the side of holiness bierko's
la sha really OCAD in on the couch
burner the blessing can excuse me cannot
take hold
can I take effect if those things are
counted begin the Citra ah de hoorah
iein because the other side the side of
evil which is the evil eye yo Elish alto
la can can rule over it k.michelle tal
is since it can take effect on it
Priscilla Jacques Bay the blessing will
not be found by begin de la youtuber
hanamura I am because the blessing
cannot come upon something which has a
negative eye upon it
now sheriff edge when one meets at a
halt when the counting comes from the
side of the mundane is it Greg lucky
this is already the time Friedlander
explaining when it comes from the side
of the mundane is it girl my life Jesus
has cetera I'm Evy lion Rho so then it
allows for something for the other side
but slightly evil to take take effect
there and it brings to an evil I
actually should see this I mean you meet
Santa kedusha however when the counting
is connected to holiness you get my
serve for example when it comes to my
sir
aim by of his illicit rocker so then the
evil the evil side the side of evil does
not have any place to hold on either of
us and maybe Brock of the other way
around counting such a thing brings
about blessings but ok Manu come upon me
miss been in the Mishkan
so therefore when it came to the
tabernacle we counted Norris times
heinous kesef piccu Dan so to the the
silver came in ship bombing tzedakah
dushashana's Iraq I entire so only a
good eye is found there and we're going
to soon see what that means what is the
concept of the evil eye what is the
concept that if we look at things
negatively so then it can bring about
some kind of negative effect what is the
idea behind that so what's something
that's holy something that's the
tabernacle the more it's counted the
more I until eva is involved there's a
positive eye there there's a scheana
there's blessings there's divine
presence is found there so it's it's not
a negative thing when it comes to
something which is connected to holiness
ok let's see this further there's a
concept toy on Eve IRA that the one who
has a positive I will be blessed over
blitt will bring about blessings
it's a because all our sages say and
it's in the y'all cook in mish lay in
Proverbs the Baraka is a Sbrocco
a Savas Allah brother should be raised
below it says in regards to the
blessings that Moses gave to the Jewish
people it says and this is the blessing
and this is the blessing what is and
this because there's an additional
aspect of Moses blessing at the end of
seyforth varam the end of Deuteronomy
which is beyond the blessings
interestingly of Bill o Maharaja of the
evil bilam
show you royal avoir came Sheva Broca's
Koenig is sheva mitzvos because bilam it
would have been appropriate for him to
give seven blessings to the Jewish
people corresponding to the seven miss
Baker's the seven altars that he had
built in order interestingly to curse
the Jewish people who like bear Canela
shalosh all he did was actually bless
him with three blessings
Shannon Marvin a beer after beer out a
short poem as Bullock said to Balaam you
bless them three times
oh my gosh one who got set in Russia
Atta ain't hurt sir Oliver cim yux evil
one God said to Balaam your eye is too
constricted you have an evil eye
Billa - the one who has the evil eye is
a constricted I it is not interested in
blessing in more than three times
I finally Annie must because your closet
Ashly mere hosting Shirley's well I am
NOT going to let you complete your
blessings of the Jewish people
Baumeister shan and your fellow Bharath
Israel Moses who had a positive I was
able to look at the Jewish people in a
positive way so he was able to complete
the seven blessings by adding four of
his own the Oliver and about him
King Solomon said tithe ayan hooyah vara
the one who has a good eye he will be
blessed alta carya vera hella Yavor ik
don't read it will be blessed but rather
he shall bless
moses who had a positive eyes so he gave
the full blessings to the Jewish people
americana era Braavos and it says that
the the measure says that he gave him
four blessings by how much is calm a
lock of a glimmer the verse tells us
that after Moses saw that all had been
completed in regards to the creation of
the Mishkan Maya verify submission Moses
gave them a blessing by eight to be work
who Assam so that's number two we went
out and bless the nation shall move
Kaiba 7yo I said let him go hmmm there's
the blessing and selfish am the God your
father's will add on to you vis a
Sbrocco and he says also and this is the
blessing so four times Moshe Rabbeinu
gave blessings to the Jewish people and
it was to complete the seven that bilham
had only done three so it's an amazing
thing well abraca with a epic Hawk Lella
you clear the feedstock assign the
blessings explains
explains Durkheim Friedlander the
blessings and the opposite of the
blessings depend on the way person sees
things tell you I knew you were a
turbine who you Vorik a person who has a
positive look has a positive I who sees
things in a positive way he can give
blessings he will give blessings bloom
Oh Holly a hold of our casis well bill
could not bless the Jewish people why
Gilly ayan rock because he had an evil I
can assure ruts about car cadaver cassis
row and even when he wanted against his
will to bless the people of Israel know
how Yaya he wasn't able to give me a
quiet high in raw because of his evil
eye Shibuya house live shows the
vertices well he had a constricted way
of seeing things he saw the world in a
constricted way and he wanted to say
negative things about the Jewish people
and therefore he wasn't even able to
bless them beyond those three Lumas ace
but in comparison to this most shyly I
am TiVo he had a positive eye he had a
good way of looking at the Jewish people
show hello I am Tony vihari yeaa
oxmonkey Gor Malloy it was the seeing
itself that caused him shoe you've
orifices well that he be able to bless
the people of Israel because it says via
Mauritius call Aloha Moses saw all that
they had done by virtus ameesha and he
blessed them so it was his ability to
see the positive that gave him the that
same ability to give the full blessings
to the Jewish people
ok a caduceus lady me Varma do I use a
condom a minion the conditional AV
explains in part is be good in our
partial what is the problem what is the
danger when it comes to counting things
sure Cheryl of I in raw why does it
ordinarily involve the evil eye what is
the idea so he says like this and here's
the Corvina Sherri Shia Nora who can my
bilham the root of I in rah of an evil
eye is like villain debacle Malcolm
should not say naina I am
mayera boy Sarah ever wherever he looked
whatever he he paid attention to
he brought curses on that thing my
friend Sarah Russia is taco but I say
over because he would look this evil
person would look at those that thing he
freed I say me sure Shelia no crime he
would detach it from its supernal roots
which is the the source of all life
which is Hashem mawkish a yellow docker
I said over by a diver naturally enough
because he focused so much on the thing
he was not sure he made it cautiously
made it important in and of itself and
he therefore detached
from God for Lois talk of a chemical Shh
but said he didn't see the godliness
that was inherent within that thing he
saw it only on the surface level and
therefore he detached it
that's ayan Hara Hara is seeing things
in a negative way without seeing that
there's something spiritual that's
animating it that there's godliness
animating it a vogue Abhi's are
destructive in regards to the people of
Israel verse says a neckla bra face with
Esmond half a depreciation with fashion
well he they lead a minion who misper
when it comes
I'm sorry laid that well they demean
atmosphere when it comes to Jewish
people when we come to count things so
it's not usually counting is saying this
is separate this is separate here are
the individual pieces right but that's
not how the Jewish person approaches the
concert accounting fall peeking and I'm
Mizuki stockless as a this doesn't when
we see it separately recounting each and
every individual piece it doesn't cause
damage each is Rayleigh when it comes to
the way an Israelite person approaches
things but Cole never share I'll
mystical everything that he looks at and
he pays attention to Israeli
collaboration in Cebu we have the unique
ability to look at it and see that it is
God manifesting through this item
through this aspect through this thing
k.michelle Malaga d'Ivoire will assure
shy
since the Jew has ability to connect
something to its root which is godliness
as Berea haleh's Oh mom she's brought a
Chevy mimic Aurelio and Aldebaran so
with this type of looking that's called
an INT ver the ioan Rossi's that
detaches it from God I entire of the Jew
looks at it sees the goodness sees its
connection to a sham massage across
available qu di Myshkin that's why
there's a counting in regards to the
tabernacle mish gumption even a called
overcome upon him in regards to
tabernacle everything was counted
numerous times and NASA management
everything was done with an accounting
yeah hope he can i Abraha Shekinah shari
ba even though ordinarily counting
something is negative it's a
and it's making it something separate
when it came to the tabernacle was the
other way around
in fact blessings and divine presence
was found within those things that were
counting other rubbish ah I mean insert
guevara since the counting was something
which is necessary for a lofty purpose
is there sure cuz of a shirt pocket LP
moisha that's why it says it was counted
based on moshus word maha she got some
enemy pin moisture since the counting
came out of motions now a bit vaguely
kaduche Alyona he had an awesome
connection to sham and he had awesome
holiness father rebelled indecisive
braja threw him the blessings were added
more blessings came upon the tabernacle
and his counting okay that's the quote
from the caduceus la vie move or Bizet
says the sister time what do we see from
here shamone s for who she is for zion
rah
when a person counts this is this is
foundation listen to this concept is so
powerful when a person excuse me when a
person counts the the money that he has
or the possessions that he has he looks
at everything any talents that he's
looking at it there's an aspect of I in
Hara there's an aspect of negative look
yeah they're misper we'll give you all
nice and light in letting you know my
gosh from cashews her hats me by
counting it he's giving it something an
intrinsic value in array aha Shiva's
become Ashley Ashley Chumash in his work
he doesn't recognize that the important
thing here is that what makes it
important is that it comes from God
where do I have the money that I have
where do I get my livelihood where do I
get it from it's not my boss it's not
the the person who has hired me for a
job it's none of that it's just
Shem God sending his livelihood his his
per se I see that must be local pirates
and his sustenance happens to be a
person is giving me the money but where
is it really coming through from where
is it really coming just through that
person are you the cattleman not because
the varnish Irishman Shem is Barack not
having that understanding can cause a
person to disconnect from a Shem a
Russia Shama stock Allah called a lot of
Arafat's me a person who looks at it as
something intrinsic to itself
how much money I have police Ebola coach
Parker without attachment hashem venus
criteria to me adi seeing that it's my
power my abilities they may be a sea
lion raw so that person has a negative i
pink lemon lemon bar Hashemi ish the
kaveri harvey is such a person also when
he sees let's say someone else is very
rich he has a lot of money or has a lot
of success so a person who recognizes
that all this success that he has and
that anyone has is all from a Shem so
they can see anyone success is something
positive because it's another
manifestation of godliness in the world
wow look at this amazing success it's
amazing manifestation of a Shem in the
world I'm Eric but the person who
doesn't have that recognition just sees
himself as separate from a sham sees
himself as separate so everyone is
separate so then he says oh she a semi
mushroomed sorrowful he's upset that
someone else has more money than he
needs
when do I aim lee kamishirasawa read how
come I don't have as much as my friend I
need to show that Varma chemise boroff
it's a nice and welcome Aikido source
which chakra
so when person separates himself and
everyone else around him he looks at
things with this evil eye he looks at
things with a negative way so it
provides an opportunity for the side of
evil to take hold there Zi mo Musa
should bilham should not Sahara so this
was the essence of who bilham was that
he was somebody who gave an eye he had a
negative look on everything you stock
all cold over cuz she was at some is he
gave everything it's all intrinsic value
and separated it from God neat that
guy's i mean i clear - Amy's Mara merely
a schmuck on the whole biophysicist a
chakra this gave a place for the side of
evil to take hold on them then here's we
get to be talking other mob attacked by
sham somebody who trusts in God in a red
circle nessus for she doesn't see the
need to count how much money yes how
many views he has on YouTube how many
how much is how much money is in the
bank how much how many people are
listening to his songs you know ribosome
is for greater because such a person
doesn't see that the the number as
something in and of itself
who kind of Argo she should go read I'm
a couple chef a coalition ahem so he
lives with a feeling that each moment
he's getting a new sustenance a new
outpouring of goodness of spirituality
from God
mystical Akasha is like Gaelic never
deceive Shem he sees everything that's
going on in his life everything that he
has is a piece of his service of God Ida
Kakuma charisma coucher oh sure sure
you're talking as they shine through
this
he attaches himself and all of his
possessions to their true root which is
that they are dependent upon the
kindness of God Levinas uh sure
symmetrically so then he comes into this
aspect of a rich person who is happy
with his lot the mela share Abraha Bama
mile and therefore through this way so
blessings come upon his money and I will
add that busting come upon all the
people that he sees because everywhere
he goes everywhere he turns he sees that
God is there he sees the manifestation
of godliness and the success of others
in the success of himself and that
itself that way of looking at things it
shoots out it creates a powerful
spiritual force in his own life in the
life of all of those around him and it
attracts blessings to himself and to
others it's an amazing thing and here we
are basically at the amount of time
which I have which I would like to spend
on this but it's an amazing thing is a
beautiful thing that when it comes to
spiritual things it's permitted to count
why because if we look at it as attached
to God if we look at it as attached to
spirituality so then the counting itself
doesn't separates that item from God and
therefore blessings the more we look at
it positively the more we look at it as
rooted in Hashem the more blessings will
come to come to and through those items
and that's why in the tabernacle it was
it was something which was constantly
done accounting so I want to bless you
and ask you to bless me
Shem should help us to be able to
incorporate this idea to have an eye on
TiVo
positive look to recognize that all of
our blessings in our life whether it's
health whether it's happiness whether
it's as our spouse whether it's our
children whether it's the the money that
we have whether it's the blessings that
we have the ability to study the Torah
all these different things some should
help us to recognize that they are not
cost sure they're not important in and
of themselves but rather they are
something which is a manifestation of
godliness in our lives and ashram should
help us to steer away from the ioan Hara
to steer away from looking at things as
separate from God should help us to be
able to have a positive view of others
who perhaps we would naturally be
jealous of but recognize that what I
have is what God wants me to have what
the other person has is what God wants
them to have it's just a manifestation
of godliness ashram should help us to
have the proper look the proper eye in
and we should be blessed with so many
blessings thank you so much for
