Pesach - How can I see a miracle? - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] so we're gonna learn from to shut Levite suck the teachings of Levite somebody job douche a piss off the teachings of piss up in my version we're in page 187 toothpaste sign I know you are all holding different versions we're gonna start the little quote where it says yom tov shall pass up the festival of Pesach now we know that we have three festivals mess-up Shavuot and Sukkot there are other holidays but these are called the more deemed the festival's young show yom tov shall pissah have you found it the unofficial mess-up who- arm ka dua we have three festivals and we also have three forefathers around it's like we are called each one of the festival's is corresponding to one of the forefathers which we know that pestle corresponds to of rama v nokia dua how do we know that when the angels came to a guam Aveeno - tell him - that he's going to have a child one angel came to destroy stone 1 k angel came to heal of Rama we know the other angel came to notify him that he's going to have a child specifically was the angel of Raffaella who came to heal him he was just circumcised himself the angel of Gabriela came to destroy stop and the edge of my file came to this to tell him you're going to have a son a year from now and the story says that he ran out of the tent he told Sava gonna make methought and that was exactly the pensive when those angels came and sure enough the year later his luck was born on Pesa so so we know that the holiday of pacer the festival of essa corresponds to a Bahama be no wish of wat negative luck Shevat corresponds to its hug white shark attack was placed on the altar and then of course the the angel told Obama be known not to proceed and Obama we looked around what do you know Iran stuck in his horns in the bush a llama vino apparently was a very strong man just grabbed the RAM like that I don't know how he did such a thing I don't have you ever saw RAM try to grab the RAM we'll see how successful you'll be yeah even though it was a little rap nevertheless Salama vino was not a young guy by the way he was a pretty pretty older guy at the time grabbing a ram and he slaughtered a ram instead and he took the red they had the Horn of the RAM and make a shofar out of it one Shafa one horn was used in Matan Toa as they say that they heard the voices of the Shafaat and the other horn is going to be the show foul that very soon and the I wanna be is going to blow well by Omaha capisce of algodón that day with my chef comes is going to be blow used a big show foul there is a rocket if any our Navy is gonna blow the shofar or maybe somebody else nevertheless I don't care who blows it as long as it's being gonna be blown but this is the Horn of the aisle the RAM and a van moving to took at the time of the akkada and therefore since its hawk came instead of its heart came the RAM so the Shabbat the festival shewhart corresponds to it's like going by the the horns of the Shafaat of the RAM hey here he doesn't say that but Yaakov corresponds to Sukkot because when Yaakov came out of Quran then unfortunately I don't know why and he obviously had a good reason but for a year and a half it didn't still he went out of Quran but he was schmoozing on the road for a year and a half till he came to back to his fair parent's home and at the time he made Sukkot he made these little Hut's to his flocks for the Sheep for their for the cattle and they they called it Sukkot so the festival of Sukkot corresponds to Yaakov now going back now to Chef - its Huck it says reshef what did sockeye and Chum Jawad corresponds to its hug look over there he sends due to a reference her name is we have a hint here at the time of Matan TOA it says Inori he says a no clear vial okay huh and what does it say I know he very low yell aha two Commandments the first and the second Commandments we heard them BP agua shimano we actually heard them directly from a shame that's why everybody was like whoa whoa Moshe you go you deal with this we're gonna step back my nevertheless a nokia nokia asha it it'll melt me time and also the lawyer laughs hi Loki mockery Malpani these two Commandments were actually heard directly from a shame appeared wha and who was oh there who me that it's Huck the middle of it Huck is coming from Goa and like I said before we Sukkot dear Cove course for Cove corresponds to the court of shame harem is via Covina sasu Kota as I ain't in the parish are that it says near Cove traveled to a place called su Kota now we have another festival and this festival is called wash kodesh fest believe it or not was polish is called a moet cotton a small festival and wash college corresponds to the Vida mala there are also explanations awash college the ladies received that because at the time of the Golden Calf the ladies didn't want to participate in the sin and you originally the celebration of what college was supposed to give in to the tribes each tribe corresponding to one month since everybody who did have a part in the Golden Calf not the women the women got the merit of a Scottish nevertheless the festival itself then minor festival wash college corresponds to the wind well okay Nana Mizuki luminize social moves off the horse coders who wish to rate the video of the huh I'm sure you notice that when we preached four nice three times a day we said okay ever happen and okay it's hot well okay I called how come we're not saying allocative eat there is a Kamala that's talking about it that with a minute told the Shem why am I not in the schwa nicely it says it okay I'm okay it's like well okay Aiko should see also also said okay the wheat and the fourth leg of the chariot so Shem told of in the manner you are not mentioned in ma nicely because mom it's like an Yaakov I have tested and you I didn't test and of course that we develop says okay so test me to know chef says listen David it's not a good day today don't ask for a test that way the ministers no no no I want you to test me too I want to be in English when I say shims is David David listen you don't want me to test you no no I want you to do that no diabetes I want you to dance me okay you want no problem I'll give you a test and then he send ameliorate but Shiva and the rest is known to everybody but nevertheless when we preach more I say we only said okay everyone and okay truck well okay I call but in Rosh Hodesh we pray at fill out that is called mu south and in mu south we add their verse apart that it says who vitiated the video of their huh and this is the most apropos college why cause loss college there is a connection to dab in the middle therefore we have to mention him in the MOOC was a Mustafa Voss holders but there are M is become Arab and here we have a hint in the guavas dil laya Nina tava culturally Alka when it's talking about the the the in in the gamma about how they used to sanctify the month they used to send witness myths and people and people who had to be a witness to testify that the soul the moon and when two witnesses Gosha witnesses came and testified that they saw the moon they would sanctify them on their demands mashaallah la semana de vida milord that way this David Mann official High Wycombe war is the sign that Hashem sent he sent us that we develop was beneficial and Heydrich I am now we're going to continue doing another portions a little bit on a different topic but nevertheless just to quickly just to to recap what we learned that we have three festivals each festival corresponds to one of the forefathers or holders there is a melodica time it's a small festival corresponds to that with a minute these are the four Shepherds that are the four sides the four legs of the chariot and needless to say that when I celebrate one of the the festivals I have to understand that the what's the root of the of the holiday and the root of the holiday of of a peasant is a trauma Vino's Crescent holiday with a lot of his'n what does that got to do with me because in a holiday in a first of all there's a higher revelation of the what's called galue uhm the revelation of the essence meaning on this week of Pesach specifically on the night or L said L there's a very high revelation of the essence of my data facin which needless to say when I align myself with the hey Allah with the shine that it empowers in me my me data Fez said I should go grow and become much more charitable much more kind much more forgiving and so forth so I have to have in mind what's going on the time of Pesach now on Pesach we continue Bethesda min-cut Sereno vishwatma hockey team on Pesa used to bring a stern koban but it wasn't an animal he was a offering of a of saline of we're know so always they cannot barley barley yeah Barney but on Shabbat they used to bring a sacrifice Mincha that is called t team your team is wheat some pests after they used to bring a sacrifice a min ha made out of barley and Shevat they used to bring him in high an offering made of wheat de Clairvaux there is a rule here Shh named Minahasa got Shahnawaz Sugimoto a Volvo anything is done in the Torah in a physical way there's a mystical and cabbalistic explanation at the same way that there are two types of offering there are two types of ways how one can grasp the greatness of the Kadosh Mahal this gold has saga ha guys when I actually grasp something and the standard in a way that is more than my the more than just thinking of it or using my intellect for that Hayek had the first one she must see Gita boil it a nice even afloat chef Simon Oh the first way that we can some Thai some way relates to a Shem is by the miracles that he does for us now you can look at miracles in the past and say wow look what a sham did and you can look at miracles that are happening in the present and all the wrong I mean our life is a miracle just the fact that you're breathing now is a miracle no depends how how to what level you going but I think every moment is a miracle that's just the fact that I breathing without even noticing I nobody ever sits and at the home and focuses on their breathing unless you're doing some type of a meditation or some breathing exercise you don't breathe don't meditate on your breathing and just yeah and just imagine you know every two three seconds you taking a breath I mean you're not necessarily taking a deep breath but you are this is a miracle and most people don't even react knowledge how every second of our life is a miracle nevertheless there are two ways to grasp the greatness of Hashem one of them is through the miracle that he does for us does did and we'll do holiday miss even approaches Simon evokes a maneuver Hollett miracles that he did and miracles that he's still doing Seamus feel a new claim with Omaha not only that he gives us life and the fact that I'm alive right now that's a miracle as any given moment you know many people they just in the middle of their life the plug is being pulled out and only postponed they fall on the ground and be a heart attack can be a car accident whatever it is would have witnessed split-second the person just just dies obviously there's a physical Air Act but the fact is that the plug was pulled out from the top and the body falls hm gives us life at every given moment not only life he gives us peace and blessing Shalonda Baha we Michelin gamer Oklahoma vein of Shanno not only that ashame also praised a reward I know the reward would be the right word rule is they I mean because this can be also a negative thing Michelin kamal they face what you want one deserves so even through the ones who are the enemies of our soul that can be our physical enemies that are trying to kill us day night and also the spiritual enemies that are trying to get us off the tava the collage poet says Michelle M Jamal he pays it doesn't know anybody anything gay moon is what I owe you and if you did something negative oh wow all your slap in the face so Kailash go also pays our enemies you have nothing to worry about that's why you shouldn't be upset or angry and our enemies let us Shem deal with it the shemish will come up it's gonna deal with it now the other way how we grasp a shame shame a secret abide by second show me who - by I can grasp a shame by my intellect by my second but it has to be renewed constantly because if I don't renew my intellect now we'll never have a new grasp of the Kadosh go home what does it really mean baa boee Who am I - Norton Chef of Omaha when I understand that Hashem is the power that renews everything he's the one that gives the blessing that's when I can understand it in my mind that the Shem is the one who controls everything look now we just had now three four months of a winter Boko sham we don't have harsh winters that was now in New York that's the winter here we have a few cool days but nevertheless it's still winter and now the last week the Sun is out look at all the flowers come and you see a beautiful flowers now all the flowers outside wait another week this whole thing's gonna be green and and and full of flowers and colors you see all the collage before Renu sings is one tree here on the outside on Shabbat after coluche we were looking at it and they all was saying to his wife do you think this tree is gonna is dead and his wife is very knowledgeable in agriculture and she looked at it and she was like no it's not there it's going to come alive how do you know yeah you see these little buds little two millimeter buds they she was like here I see life here it's going to rejuvenate itself it's going to renew itself and you'll have here a beautiful tree within few weeks who's bringing this maja this blessing blessing is not necessary that I tell you bless you because you sneezed I tell you you should be happy you should be richer you should find your other half Baha the translation of blessing is maja and Baha comes from the word in Hebrew ha ha ha however highs when you take something from above and you bend it down this is what this sometimes they used to do with trees and they used to take a branch of a tree bend it into the ground cover it with sand and that branch will grow as another tree this is called have ha ha in my second key lime in the Mishnah it's talking about it what you allow to do what you know how to do because you might mix it with another type nevertheless the word baja comes from the word in hebrew ha ha ha to bring something to pull something from a very high place into a very low price this is baja this is the blessing the regime is taking a certain energy we call it Sheva chef in abundance and it brings it into the world and then it will manifest in a descending chain into the world that will change from a spiritual blessing into a physical blessing this is the word Baha now when I see with my intellect how a Shem is the one who renews everything how is he renewing it he's bringing a behind in the world this is called chef and Baha chef has an abundance and bhai is the blessing the NHMRC Catawba Valley then e7e flows whom is Sigma Xi willing when you grasp a shame when with miracles and not only miracles with wonders it's a considered that it's in a same time type of a portion or a measurement she all is not a Manchu in Hebrew as a class but she always also a measurement can be a small measurement big measurement and so forth when I'm looking in a miracle I can say ok it's yet mid time is a huge miracle and the fact that I don't know the tree here now is the growing oranges that's a small miracle you know that's because there I don't see there's a big miracle I mean one can argue 1 what I'm saying right now is trying to make it a point that there are huge miracles and little miracles every day women having babies that's a huge miracle but sometimes you see a woman that is hostile Shalom these are all complications and physically can be life-threatening and then she somehow goes out of the life-threatening situation everybody's Wow what a miracle so here's the giving of the baby was a greater miracle than another woman who gave bravery a baby life to a baby in a healthy way so a miracle can be measured so to say in you know we'll call it a big Mira corn a small miracle in a brew it's called she or she always a measurements and in plural way because when we sing miracles and wonders we say GOM it's plural where do we find this word she will just pronounce a little bit different in Sheila and a child will know da ba ba that she knew in the measurement so to say of her husband what does it really mean alia - ooh the zebra pizza how does the issue hide I mean this is a very deep meaning one day with utter shame we will start learning some interpretations of issue type because they should Kyle is a very very deep concept a lot of people attributed to Mela really I should high Lama veena rotates Yesha trial is the eulogy that have Rama be in a row to Sabah and later on Allah came down and wrote it down but really that's attributed to a llama vino Hama vino was a very big mokuba don't forget about moving to compile the book of its book informations affiliates it out Obama vino got all the information right over here from the corner from chemin al sham got the information from know who got the information from shed who got the information from Adam and Shem came out of the ark believe it or not came here to swat and he learned here and he had a yeshiva here however mavin who came here for many years then he went back to oh custody Mohammed we know kind of ran away from Lucas team for a while because he was wanted there was a price on the head neighborhood was looking for him and he ran away and he somehow found him well he's way here to share my navel and Shem taught him everything later on it became he react of came here live got came here everybody came here then we came here so so Boca jam album Aveeno was a very big mokuba so when he compiled I should hide this is not a poem with hints or with their riddles that's how you call it not hints riddle but there is a very deep meaning behind ratio trial nevertheless we find a verse in a short time we know da Bashar in Bala this is really referring to many other things but here it's referring to our topic but she owe him in this measurement Ali additio by using a measurement what is this measurements that we talking about Zeb this we can find in the sacrifice in the offering I will see sacrifice rather an offering of Pisa therefore I'll kill my women hot Selim why do we bring the Mincha the offering of sale in pass article say all is the same letters of Sheol exact same letters just this is a shin and this is a sin sin is also in wheat barley and she who is a measurement voucher masticate above all who best see him when you are grasping a shame with your intellect with your mind mystique Bellagio you're reaching to a level of comprehension and grasping that has no measurements when it comes to a miracle you say a big miracle small miracle when it comes to understand er Standish em with your Siffin this is a great level then you can measure it how can you measure what you understand in your memories in a big brain a big big knowledge III understand the deep there's no shoe here I can define the measurement here the zebra Shabbat and in Shavuot you understand the Torah and ashame in a different way whom a sigle addictive be to Toyota Toa how do we understand shem in Sherwood by the 22 letters of the Torah bellagio of Amida without any measurement and without any size therefore I'll kill my women hockey team why do we bring kita Wheaton's on a a Shabbat coz-theta head Ted hey is Dmytro 22 numerical value of 22 corresponding to the 22 letters of the Torah so there are two ways how I can grasp Hashem what does it really mean grasp ashamed and besides that I wear a yarmulke and I have a nice beard and a black suit and I pray three times a day that's very nice with me and many others but do you really understand what a sham means I know many people they don't have the black suit in the yarmulke and the beard and the shame more than me because they're dead the depth of looking into what it means the shame is much more broad much more broad and much more deep I need to understand the shame but yet data at the Shamy la cara it says you have to know Hashem to follow them it's not it's very nice that's a jumping board to understand a little bit in the greatness of Hashem right everything we do all these meets what we learnt a few days ago in the same book to shout leave a hug that all the mitts lot that I do is only to bring me to one place valve a right a shame to love and fear a sham that's where this is much greater than fulfilling them it's what so they meet slot of the tool it brings me to know Hashem I need to know a shame why because when I know a shame I can fulfil the ultimate meets valve there half dead to Chemeketa the holy book I should lavish him then comes the next paragraph of Sh'ma the iron chinois this is ye fear of Hashem the first paragraph of Sh'ma belonging of the few days ago we have - ma la queja this is the level of love have etosha the second paragraph I am sure moti Shmuel Mitzvahed I that's fear I need to reach to that level and there are two ways how I can grasp in my mind what does it mean the Kadosh bajo because my physical brain will never understand what a God is but I want to reach a certain level that I do understand that there is this power in the universe that is controlled by God the power of annuity the power that we called heat cut short and where's the coming from it's coming from a Shem everything that Hashem does is above this world the Shem is the source of blessing I need to get to a point like a Brahma vino the rama v nu nu the Kadosh Mohawk there is a Hasidic story that it's a told about the ballot anya that he was a very big Sadiq genius in the Torah and he went to learn from the Megiddo mizuage in the same achiever of levitra from the leech off in the same leash evil will be lamella and the normally military medical missions Canada mezuzah for money Paulie and all these great names that we hear in the Hasidic dynasties they all went to the same Eva who the teacher there was the magnet for message who he was the the Talmud the student of the Baal Shem Tov about Shem Tov used to travel around and the magnet for message was the complete opposite he had the health issues and a very bad bad day health so he stayed in one place and everybody went to him to learn from him so even though there are different ages but these names that we they we mention and we learn from them now we're learning from rabbits like from birdie job he was sitting in the same bench next to me and leave me live from Luhansk and revolution for money quality and the ballot Angela shnoz unfamiliarity and all these these great sages so there's a story that the ballot Anya went he had a didn't know what to if to go to Harvard or to go to Yale he didn't know where to to go to learn now so he had an option of going to Vilna to learn from the gone and to going to message and learn from the Maggie he decided to go to message when they asked him why he said because in Vilna they teach you how to learn Torah I know how to learn Torah and in the message they teach you how to pray I need to know how to pray but nevertheless when he came back then of course they asked him know what did you learn so he says I learned there is a god what you spent years in message to learn to the God you didn't know there's a God before that he's like no I now I really know that there's a God and the person that was talking says everybody knows there's a god so he wanted to challenge him and he calls his maidservant and he tells her a Natasha do you know they do believe that there's a god she's like yeah I believe there's a god she tells them you see even my maidservant believes is a God and the mountain answer says she believes I know so there's a very big difference by believing and knowing I want to reach your level that I know there's a Shem this is via data at the Chimel okay huh and that can only be done when I really start start digging into the depth of my mind learning that there's a kailash Mahal and like we mentioned there are two ways of learning that III one is focusing and meditating on the miracles that hashem did and does which will bring me to a great understanding of a shem look now at a tree how it grows that's an unbelievable miracle I like gardening I like being spending time in the garden I look sometimes at the flowers and the leaves his unbelievable miracle yesterday was this big I didn't even notice now it's this big I didn't even notice how it changed and sometimes you see one day doesn't get water withers you could put water rose up it's just unbelievable miracle and anything yeah and if you don't it dies exactly you can see miracles and everything I I try to see the miracles in me how my nails are growing my hair is growing my face is changing unbelievable look and I just look yesterday at a picture my daughter took a picture of me and my wife and I looked at the picture I was like telling my wife not in a negative way but look how we aging not in a not nice way we have to be very careful to say that to your wife that might cause they're you know homicide here but so I tell my wife listen know how he aged and not in a negative way but just yeah and you look at the mirror every day you don't see the changes but you look at the distance between here and 10 years ago this is a miracle how something what I changed what I'm not the same one suddenly I look different this is all miracle you can look every day every second every moment of what's going on around you that's miracles that will bring you to to reach to our understanding of a shame but this is in a limited way it comes in a measurement like we said make miracle small miracle or you're looking at the power of a shim that renews everything that's already above above what's called time with that you can measure it and that's where you really learn the greatness of Hashem when you're set hell goes deeper and deeper so to see the greatness of Hashem that's why I mean that he brings this douche this explanation from the fact that on Pesa we offer a min ha an offering made out of barley and because the barley is selves always a measurement meaning that on Pesach we can reach to a level a certain level of understanding ashamed but specifically on on the Shabbat that this is the you know we're starting in Pesa to start climbing toward Shabbat I mean we're learning now in pencil what we have to understand that next week exactly on Friday then we starting the march towards your world we opening a gate on Pesach night and to start walking towards Matan Toa this is a higher level of a godly understanding it's not a shame we have to understand that next Friday or I mean the videos are recorded Hospital ami Michele is not going to come and somebody's gonna watch this video after Purcell don't understand next Friday but the night of peso is a very auspicious time the reason why we're learning all this is to prepare that you know when you go on a vacation that you will be waiting for for a whole year you owe your you pack a week before you learn all the key words of the language of the destination you prepare yourself because you've been waiting for this vacation for so long you have to understand that the next Friday Pesach nights is 24 hours of a very very unique opportunity to really jump to a much higher level and in order for me to get that I need to prepare myself the right way to understand what's going on that night this is not just some night that I'm wearing a new suit and coming to a pistol table eating matzah to meditate and be conscious of every moment what's happening not to lose that 24 hours these 24 hours will affect me for the rest of the year and anything that I'm gonna do on these 24 hours there has nothing to do with pizza I'm losing big-time of this chef this abundance in this Baja I'm getting that night that it will carry with me for the rest of the year Posada shame the night it brings me to a level of great understanding in a shame most of us don't have a deep understanding in a shame we're doing the things they what's called become a lot all accepting the yolk but I want to do this with love I want to do it with the bottom let the service regime I want to understand what I'm doing not expecting to be a lobby Shimon bar Yohai but to understand the things behind it that will allow me to serve a ship with a greater love greater fear needless to say climb to a much higher level that that's that's what we want is not a sham you have good preparation and wish you hear kosher and happy face up [Music] you [Music]
