Parshas Vayeira: The Mystery, History, and Destiny of the Word "YERUSHALAYIM"

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com welcome everyone parashas vayera thank you everybody for coming tonight's sure continuing our series on severations are graciously sponsored by Dr zakim um for their whole family for a full suleima for uh Kenny's mother Dino bastrana bakareh mamish and we have an amazing topic tonight you would think you know we're doing vayera all the years what what new information could we have in vaira after Today's Show it's kiului never learned anything that's how the the subject here is so vast and so wide it came trickling in it was very hard to tap into this one it was like one one marimakum here one marumakum there but as soon as we you know once you get it's like when you dig in the ice you ever need to go into the mikfo and you're in Antarctica and you you're banging on the ice and it's very hard to get to the water but once you crack in it just it just opens up that's just the way it is so okay so avrahama Vino after passing the greatest test that anybody ever accomplished anybody ever passed Abram avinu standing at the most coveted spot in the world Hashem he called the place Hashem he will see that it will be said today on the Mountain of God he will be seen so that alone is worthy of our attention because avram said he called the place Hashem we'll see that it should be said today Hashem will be seen that's not what Abram said he said Hashem we'll see and then he says that it should be said Hashem will be seen who is Hashem doing the seeing or are we seeing him but that's not what the topic of texture is about says Target avraham prays at that place Amar he said before God all generations should worship you Abraham David that in this spot for generations and generations people should come and worship comes the rambam in the morning that the holy spot that avravino stood by the Akita moisha knew about it many people knew about it because he commanded that this makkam should be a base avoida like targum translates avram said this place should be a place of worship for all generations and of course where is this place what city was it yerushalayim now we all know that you shalim is the most important city in the world it's not New York it's not Cuban Hills it's not Muncie It's Not Williamsburg it's not been abroc it's not Spas it's not tavaria it's not Chevron does anybody know how many times as you shall I am mentioned in the Torah zero asriel you're back and you're first at bat we headed out of the park your Salim is not mentioned in the hamesh it's not mentioned isn't that unusual why is you shall I am not mentioned in the Torah there are many other cities mentioned is mentioned why is you shall I am not mentioned so the rambam says that there are three answers to this question the first answer is if you shalim was mentioned in the Hamish and all the nations of the world would know that Hashem is Jerusalem then they would be so focused on your shalayim that every nation in the world would want to conquer it destroy it conquest and possess it and the reason why how College Brooklyn does not mention you shall I am in the Hamish is so that it's not the attention of all the nations of the world otherwise they would all be attracted to shalayim to conquer even though for the most part that it has been uh quite a magnet for almost every Empire in the world but just imagine uh then America would want it England would want every country would want it answer number two if the Torah would have written you shall I am explicitly then every nation would claim it as their Holy City and worse than that the occupiers of Jerusalem would destroy it if they knew how precious it was to us the occupiers of Jerusalem would destroy the city so therefore the Torah intentionally uh omits the name you shall I am and the third answer in the ramam says is the most important answer is that if the title would say the name you shall I am then every shave it would want you shine to be in their would say we want your sign and say we want you shalim Shimon would say we want it and it would create civil unrest it would be there would be a civil war everyone would be fighting about Jerusalem so in order to keep the peace we don't talk about it we don't mention it we don't say its name and in fact there's no Mitzvah to build the base time until you have a king why because once you have a king So now that we have a king now you build a temple so now everybody says we want to build a temple in our possession the king makes sure there's no Civil War that's why the rambam says you shall I am is not mentioned in the hamesh so where'd it get its name from where did Jerusalem get its name from so I'm sure everybody is familiar there there was a person by the name of malkit sadek Shame Shame the son of Nayak he's a Cayenne um says um the king of yerushlim so shalim was yerushalaim now the first question is so where did yerushalayim come from targham says it's called yerushlim after shalim so where did the yud come from where did that yield come from by the way in kala toy rakula it's not written with the yud and we're going to talk about that I've been in the but in my sitter it says yeah I don't care what it says in your sitter in the homish it says yerushalaim um except for five places that we're gonna see they're only there are five exceptions to the room it's kind of like the way it says something like that but but here we have we call you shalayam and it comes from the city Chalet so where did the uru part come from it should be called shalim where did the tarim get Jerusalem from so there's a famous madrish as a matter of shrava there's the Alka shamani the matter says this foul as follows take a look at number six avraham avraham called it fear foreign called it Yura shame called it Charlie um so right off the bat there's a question why is Hashem entertaining avraham's name before shame's name he should say if I could shalim why is Hashem first saying if I call it Yura then shame of them shame is going to have a Time on me shame is going to be upset if I call it Yura Lim if I called charlem Abraham Adam so so far the shla points out God the murderous talks about avraham's name twice before shame's name right avram what do you mean shame came first and then Hashem says if I call it avraham's name shame is going to be upset if I call it shame's name Abram's gonna be upset Hashem should say it the other way around if I call it hashem's name avram will be upset if I call it Abram's name Shane will be upset now it's very interesting also the matter says if I call it year like avraham called it but when it talks about shalim Hashem Hashem doesn't say the way shame called it it just says but he doesn't say the way shame called it so therefore what am I going to do is shalim you knew that right your shalim is a compound word Yura shalim so we have a lot of questions here so what so a we should call Item not yerushalayim two we should call it because shame came first three why every time Hashem goes through avraham's name before shame's name four where it should be where did the yuru the vov come from where's the vov let's read the end of the meters the end of the matter is just equally astounding what was it before shalim also like it was a sukkah and what was Hashem doing there is God prayed in the sukkah um one day I want to have a house here sashem gave me a beautiful Matana or the McPherson asked why in the world on sukis do we Davin Falls what is this got to do with the sukkah the answer is obvious the matter says matter says before the mcdosh stood there was a sukkah and God prayed May the sukkah turn into a miktas so when we're in the sukkah this took is the precursor of the miktas so we dive in the field of our colors May the sukkah bring on the base of the pharise Madras and you you can imagine there are hundreds of answers to this question this is not the answer this is the shot this is the definitive shot the measure says that before there was a mitash it was a sukkah and God prayed that there should be a miktas so let's take on one question at a time yeah it's worth asking but I only asked the question I know the answer I don't know I don't God made it God built the sukkah yeah you're with me everyone's okay well why is everyone so tired long week it's only Wednesday it's only 8 30 at night who's that which mid Rush is this which made a gracious rabba and the ALCO shamani 's darling that at one point that right now it's a circle base I want to see the temple right now it's only transient ready someone has to build it you need uh you need avraham to make it ahara and yes to make it a Sada and yaakov to make it a bias and there's a whole process so let's start with the matters says that Hashem combined Yura and shalim the aleph and the hey of yura is above very simple Yura same thing elephant okay so that's that's how the elephant head turn this above actually ruption Master Poli writes that yakovino Davin that the elephant should turn into a VAP that's all right it's a number 14. we pronounce it yerushalayim so why do we not spell it with the hood you know that you shalim is not spelled with the Yoda maybe next year we'll talk we'll talk about if you spell if somebody's writing a get how you shall I am misspelled if it's spelled with a Yoda might be puzzle you shall lay him is not spelled with why do we not spell you shalim with a yard says that some says you shall I am because avraham called it was already called shalim and it's called yerushalayim because of Yura but because it's shall aim we can't put in a yodh because it says so how could you write a good it's magazine that's what Tyson says so there's no yud because it's not it's a lion oh so this is another question is good David so why do we call it shalim where there's the the lion come from well okay also good question means two shalimes okay foreign and he says on the Posse the built of you shalaim is like the city attached to it is revealing there is a city attached to Sam usaim as a sister city does anybody know what is the sister city of Jerusalem it has a sister city it's surrounded yerushalayim right the sister city of Dallas is Fort Worth but what's the sister city of Jerusalem surrounded by mountains the answers you got to go up you shalim shall Mala can again we know as real I have a very important question how many years do human beings have uh 76. two years two nostrils two eyes that's why they're called means double the reason why we call you is the name of it is yerushlim like targum says the name of the city is ruslim you're writing a document you write yerushlim we call it you shalaim because to Connected you shall I am Allah foreign because when God disaligns there's no make the shamata that's what Sam Cipher says destroyed Hashem moved over so since it's lacking since there's a lack of alignment you know you're driving the car and all of a sudden like it's like veering to the left why it's not a lot you need an alignment right why it's so expensive and how they do it I don't know exactly they just press in the computer and a few things they have a they make a deal with the dealership every three months you know automatically you have to go back and pay money for them to just make punch a few things into the computer so you shalim somala is not aligned with you shalaim shamata five times in Tanakh you shall I misspelled Molly why because the Visa mikdash is connected the final hay of the utke so there are five yerushalayims that are Malay to indicate that the hey will be restored to its lamos when the third base is built by the way if you look in number 25 the Min hashai in yahushua he brings that every yerushalayim in the Hamish is missing ex after the lamid except for five year Mia foreign and in other places and otherwise it's called yerush lame even though we pronounce it yerushalayim nevertheless it's spelled without a yud why because uh your shalim is not shalim says the reason why it's spelled without a year is because it was called yerushim after malcuit and therefore we do not write the yud but five times the yud is written okay so we still have uh our work cut out for us so Yura became yuru shalim is that's the name that malkita called it why do we pronounce it lion because they're two Sharma the shamata and this is a point also brought in the image number 20 of the rashbats that the reason why it's called yerushalaya in plural is to indicate that it has a sister city that has a pair that it has a ushalayim shell Mala but again so then why is the yard missing if we're if we're going to pronounce it so is it only because shames city was shalim or is there something more to the fact that we don't pronounce the yood of yerushalayim very interesting if you look at number 12. the navi mihak says coil Hashem lawyer the voice of Hashem to the city ikra will call out visushia and tushio refers to the Torah urash your name is yira now who called the city Yura who called it that avraham avraham what is the meaning of Yura why did avraham call it Yura what's the point of the navi the Malayalam explains Yura means God sees what the Navy is saying is that he is warning the residents of ushalayim he's adjouring them he's reminding them that people who are new shall I must always be on their best behavior because the eyes of Hashem are super focused on the residents of ishalayim and maybe what somebody could get away with outside of you shalam you can't get away with anytime the scrutiny of the Ina Hashem is much more intense than you shall I that's why it's called Yura Hashem is always looking at the residents of you shall I am okay let's probe into this a little bit further poly he brings anybody remember this [Laughter] SAR anybody know what city Tsar is there's a similar city called Sawyer Tire which is the capital of Rome back in the times that they destroyed the base of Magnus and representative police said that actually the love of you shall I am was co-opted and SAR became sire so the yadav SAR became Sawyer with above that's what Magilla says Sawyer the city of Sawyer Sadi was originally Sadi race god of love above donation sometimes people need organs sometimes words need letters SAR got a letter donation from ushalayim let's focus for a moment on yuru yudra what is the numerical value of Euro 216. what's 216 216 is 72 times 3. we know in bashallah we have three consecutive sukim of 72 letters with which split the yam and we spoke many times about the 372 different letter sukim and how Hashem has a 216 letter name Russian Suka talks about it taking the first letter of the first possuk the last letter of the second possuk the first of the last pasok and that spells out the name and the 37th letter of the first and the 37th to last of the second and the 37th of the third is those are different names of God the two Hashem has 72 different names the Two Chief names are Ani and Baha'i so people want you know what are you doing on sukis those are names of God what's the most important part of hashanus most people know that everyone gets into and rarely says allowed just the opposite the icker of hashanus is okay those are the names of Hashem 72 72-72 no human being ever perceived these 216 forces of kaduchaim in this city of ishalayim God's glory of 216 is complete that is what's brought in the safe Earth of a student of the rajba take a look we come to the Schlage wants to know why in the medrish every single time it talks about the two names yira and shalim does it first mention avraham and then shame right it says avraham called yira Shame called the shalim no just the opposite shame called it and then Hashem says if I'm going to call it by the name of avraham Hashem is going to be upset why is Hashem going through that method first he should say if I quote by the name of Shame avraham's going to be upset so the shla asks another question this love wants to know why does Hashem say if I quote by the name avraham called it and then Hashem says and if I call it shalim and Hashem doesn't say if I call it by the name shame called it why doesn't Hashem refer to sholeim as the name that shame called it and the Sherlock Holmes says something very simple shame never called to tell him does it say shame malkit said they called it shalim it says the king of shalim it was only Charlene he didn't call it Charlie it was always showing but avraham name did Yura so that's why we call it Yura shalim because shame didn't do anything avram gave a name so we're gonna we're gonna give precedence to the one who gave a name rather than the one who just sat there in the city that was already named ah so why would Shane be upset good so the shall says so what covet is it to shame to call it yerushalayim he says because if we don't call this Holy City ruslim nobody is ever going to know that Shameless of a guy people are going to say oh shame he was so close he was the king of shalim you're gonna say where's shalim somewhere in the five towns nobody's gonna know that shalim was actually the city of yushalaim it was in the center of the universe so we want to be makhabit Shame by calling the holiest city in the world Guru shlame it was always slame now who is that we don't know however the shla goes on to write a very lengthy Exposition about all of this but it's uh we're gonna leave we're gonna leave it to what we call shot tonight even though what we're going to learn tonight is far from shot so there are a few other ideas of this combination of Yura and shalim I want to share with you the the uh idea of the division I brought in the safer imribina he says there are two aspects of the service of Hashem one that avraham excelled in and won that shame excelled in avram excelled in philosophical analysis understanding Hashem through the intellect means teaching analysis Eon that was avraham's contribution avram's recognition of Hashem to see to yora to instruct to teach and shame was expert in action he was a koyan he did service he did avoida he brought the lechem he brought the iron so the coming the city of you shalim has to be a Confluence combination of the two analysis understanding of some through through Eon as well as hamisa that is the approach of the imray BINA I'm going to come back to number 18 in a moment I'm going to share with you the message idea about yerushalayim the gemara says person should always enter two doorways and then Davin you know that Kamara that when you are sure should have two doors like in the Young Israel main show downstairs you you know actually has three doors you open up the front door and then you go you go into another door and then so you say Rabbi Gladstone but your show only has one door that's why if you want to help participate in our building campaign we haven't mentioned this in a long time but we need a lot of besides though you say but you don't have an orange yet and you don't have a parallel yes yes the answer is yes it's all available and you can also help us with the second door I don't know I I forgot to bring the books so I have to you know okay so what are these two doors you have to enter say what do you mean the two doors are the door yes you guys are tired tonight okay what are the two doors you have to enter when you uh come into a Shoal the two doors are the mind and the heart says you have to open up your mind and you have to open up your heart a Jew has to connect that to Hashem in two ways you know some people they're what we call they have good character they have good Midas they have good actions and and personality traits however in terms of their intellectual recognition of Hashem it could be lacking so they have good character they have good middles but they don't really have the education and they don't really recognize Hashem through their own intellect and you have other people who have an intellectual awareness about but they don't have good personality they don't have good character they don't have good method avra mavino excelled says in purifying his mind to recognize the greatness of the Creator through his own intellect that is the uh great achievement of avraham avrah mavino came to a recognition of hashem's greatness through his intellect through his mayak on the other hand shame needed to correct the corruption of character of the darhamas so shame excelled in shlemus of Midas and maisa and these were the two aspects of yushalayim that were combined through the contribution of avraham and shame let's take this further the safer this is a very rare safer imray Chef son of maharam khalaba he says that actually if you want to know why it's you he doesn't he doesn't ask the question but this would be answering the question why is Mira it's because means something means Perfection of fear of God wholesome fear of Hashem year after shalim is complete now there are many people who are God-fearing but in order to be genuinely God-fearing you have to have one belief with conviction you have to believe that there is an upper World Sonu doesn't believe in an upper world so what exactly are they afraid of one has to believe that there is presents to believe in the ilama is not fear of God fear of what you could accomplish or destroy in the heavens so how can a person have your ass shall aim complete fear it's only if it's shall I am if you believe that there's a sister city to your slime up above so the era show aim the complete Ura is only if it's shalayim if you believe that there's a sister city where the evanchoom is peering down and there's a world of reward and a reward a world of punishment that's the yud the name of the city is shalam like shame called it shalim complete fear but complete fear will only come if you believe there's a shall I am a second City up there okay now here's a big secret you're typing this get every word okay here it goes you know the letter yud before yeah you ever see a letter yud let's say yair starts with a good yeah yud how do you spell yud oh you'd love that so they're two years so every unit is two years one is revealed and one is Secret says the holy if you write out your then there are two years because in the secret books of the Torah this is called oh you're the New York okay what is what we call a DAT that's very holy it's so great it's so lofty it goes all the way up to the kesar Elgin that we don't understand and it's we don't understand that we really don't understand that's the secret of oyakovino says [Applause] a tenth of a tenth a universe is like the highest kadusha so if you have a hundred pieces of grain 90 goes to the Israel 10 goes to the lady who's a lady here you have 10 to the levy and that of the tender lady gives 10 to a Cayenne who's a Cayenne no client but the 10th of the tenth is the holy of the holy of the yud when you make a hundred Brothers a day 90 stays down here in this world ten goes to the middle world and one goes to the highest world that's why you have to make a hundred brachis you know what you make 100 breakfast as real catch if you wouldn't make a hundred brachice then you would never be able to send one all the way up so you make a hundred to get 10 to the middle Sky to get one to the shamayam that your secret Yoon is the Youth of yerushalayim is the second Universal I am but it's not written because that Yoda is okay so that's the Sam Cipher okay now we're gonna we're almost there what's our name really Maybe shalim yes have something good okay in the safer medwich topios coin of Izmir he says what's that you're doing there in the name of shalim shalim is shame so how that you'd get in there he even says when the base will be built that you it will return so he says something very interesting does anybody remember so it comes out like this that when the base of English was destroyed the yield that we pronounce was taken out it used to be there and it was removed does anybody remember why did shame lose the Kahuna he used to be a Cayenne he's no longer a kind why did he lose the kuna because first he blessed avraham he said Baruch um and then he said first he blessed Abraham and then he blessed God he shouldn't have done that first in the times of the base hamiktas why is something that's destroyed because we started to worship the constellations and the stars and the moon and we forgot about so basically we mimicked the sin of Shame shame focused on the intermediary avraham and Times of the destruction there's something like this we focused on the intermediary this the constellations so Hashem took out the yood of yerushalayim making it show him to remind us that what we did is exactly what Shane bennoyak did or says he says something amazing this is out of this world you know there are a lot of missing letters we know that when the basement like this was destroyed the yud Kevin became what case Ka so the youth came up K so we're missing hey kisei became case so missing the aleph and you shall I am with the yood became your shalam without a Yeti so all together we're missing four big letters we're missing name aleph of kissei Europe those are the letters that's the secret is very bitter hashem's name aleph of case says you know there are three very important yuds in this world you have you have Israel and you have yerushalayim now God was had to punish the Jewish people with the destruction of the base of Magnus when it came to his own name he had no mercy he took two letters from his name when he came to his throne he had no mercy he took a letter and now God says you know I need another yud so he had a choice he could have called us Royal from now on and taken the yid from there and God said I love the Jewish people more than I thought that of my city I'll take the yield from you shall I am instead of taking the youth from Israel that is why the the word the he is a special word of shmira if you need shmira come to me privately we'll write a Kamaya with the word vihi on it I'm joking I don't do that I I other I don't do I do the book the book business I don't do the commands Okay if you need a kamea I don't know well I'll give you the sheet right Ezreal that sounds very convincing is the shmira why because it shows God loves his people more than he loves himself more than he loves the city more than he loves his throne okay yeah but think about it God had to take hostages and he preferred to infringe on his own name rather to infringe on us so the word vahi is so it guards the Jewish people because it shows there's nothing more in this world and more important than the Jewish people okay so now watch this there's one question that nobody asked so far avram called it Yura and shame called it shalim the only thing is avram didn't call it Yura what was the name that avram called it Hashem era he called it hashemirah so what happened to Hashem that's the yard avram called the two names so you're am is the name of Shame now watch this says the gamatria of yerushalayim is 586. which is a Camacho of avraham and shame avraham and shame is 588. and if you take the Mila and the kailal of yushalayim it's also 588. now avraham and shame plus it's seven letters and the coil is equal to you shall I am so yerushalayim without you it is you shall I am with the yood is avraham shame with the uh seven letters of avraham and shame so here this is a little bit of the history of the name what was you shall I am originally to sum it all up it was a sukkah maybe it was cold Charlene maybe that's why it's called Suka shalim was a once a sukkah and then it was shalim avraham added the name is equal to yuru where did the yud come from is the the YouTube the holiest element of the secret of the Yad why do we not pronounce it because it was shalim from shame why excuse why do we not write it because it was Charlene why do we pronounce it because in order to have yira shalim complete fear you have to believe in the sister city like us yerushalayim you have the the city above Shin I am that's if you still have the Shina Yemen so there are four letters that went missing the love and the hey went missing from hashem's name the olive went missing from the quisei and the yud went missing from the name yushalayim but ultimately that yield will come back so what will be the name of you shall I am ready for this is nope the matter says in voracious God's gonna call you shalim a new name the matter says Hashem that means originally the name of the city was Yura and Chalet in Kabbalah is God's kise shalim like this said is the name of Hashem so originally it was called suggested Hashem so here you have this word it's the most um it's a word that does not appear anywhere in the Hamish it's a compound word of Yura and shalim it's a word that appears five times the rest of the times will become Malay there's this Yoda in the middle it's sometimes there you read it you don't say it the alephanahi become above avraham davinder Allah turn into above by the way the the poly says that the second yod was a donation from aliyahu this is a name that has the most moving Parts every letter is the subject of great discussion and of course we know the history of yushalaim is that it's been in the hands of so many nationalities throughout history and we know that a name of something is that captures the essence of that entity and clearly you shalim's name is uh the most mystical name of any entity that exists in this world and that perhaps explains it's very varied uh history throughout the ages but we should be to the full hashlama of the name you shall I am and that it should become the kise to the srinal as we dive in every day thank you very much and have a wonderful night [Music] you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
