Purim - the mystical teachings of this holiday - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] okay so we're going to dedicate the class a very good friend of mine that's his father's y Moshe benina so sh should have an and also Le but it's also her yard said right also should have an alah and also we have to we want to dedicate the class TOA of Dalia China right it's Dalia China sh should have a and anyone who needs should have whoever needs yesu Anda and especially the ones that we dedicate should have very soon should happen very soon so what we want to talk about today we're very close to puim and when the kids start going online to look for a custumes then you know it's close to puim and is one of the most special holidays that we have around the year and we mentioned last time we had a class before kanuka and I mentioned that holiday we say in Hebrew and kg has a different meaning than the word holiday in English holiday you take a vacation holiday is going to Mexico in Hebrew HG is a festival it's something happy but really the word hug comes from the word is to go in a circle if you're looking at a clock you know the hands in the clock they're called the words in Hebrew they have a a much more deeper meaning so means something that like a a hand in a clock that goes around and always returns to the same spot so h means that once a year a special Godly light comes back to the world and affects the world like we one example that we see is a birthday cuz really why do we celebrate a birthday I mean I was born 40 years ago why I need to celebrate it every year but that's the day that I kind of like close a cycle of the year and for whatever reason they they made it okay so that's the day that I get presents like the rest of the year I cannot get presents this is the day that I have to they have to celebrate the reality is this that because on that specific day uh a very special Godly light came down to the world and changed something so especially the holidays now most of the holidays that we have they're biblical they're from the Torah so we have we have Yip we have and then of course we have PES very soon coming up after that sh so some of the holidays we got in the Torah but we have two special holidays that's happened in our history and our sages decided to make a holiday out of it which that in itself just goes to show you how special it is because we had many other miracles in our history and they didn't make a holiday out of that if we would go in the history of our nation we will count thousands of Miracles there were not less great than the miracle of kanuka and puim and nobody made a miracle out of that no I mean nobody made a holiday out of that if we would have a holiday for every miracle that happened to us all day long we would be eating and and fasting and getting drunk so just by the fact that we actually celebrate puim and kanuka that already tells us what a special day it is so there's met a lot of things to talk about puim one most important thing that I find that is most connected to us about this holiday is something that we have to learn from the holiday itself now we mentioned in the past we had a class here before PES so we mentioned the whole motion of P the whole concept of PES is the concept of going out of my limitations that once a year I can gather around I can charge myself with energy that allows me to go out of my my daily limitations and every year when PES comes back that's the day that I can plug in I can charge and get the energy for the rest of the year to have the the power to every time that I struggle with something that limits me then I have the power to go out of my limitation so that's the p and of course we know that R is the day that I get blessed for the rest of the year and kipur is when I get can get be forgiven and so forth so also puim has a very special power that comes down that day now first we have to understand what does it mean that a Godly light shines in the world because a lot of people say Okay okay so you told me a sh a light shines in the world big deal so I don't see any lights besides that I see every day lights every day hasem is shining in the world what's the the difference I don't see with my own eyes a difference on puim on PES or any other day now the fact that I don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist there were Sim in our history that they would actually see the world completely different on Shabbat and they would see the world completely different on a on a yov and and they they literally saw with their own own eyes how the world changes we just don't see it because our eyes are very limited exactly like we spoke before if we would see things that are above normal then most likely half the population of the world would be freaking out if you imagine now if you would see suddenly something shifting in the universe suddenly the colors of the St Skies changes so hasem did us a favor and he make us made us blinde you know ignorance is bliss sometimes when you don't see so so many things then you it's easier to live your life but the reality that something changes now the this Godly light that we learn about in many different places that comes and shines in this world is is can be compared to an energy and you know sometimes you can play music and the energy of the music is very mellow so it makes you very mellow or if the music is depressing then it puts you in like this sad mode and P you start crying you don't even know why you're crying if the music is very upbeat and you start getting energized and if you're really thinking about it why why does the music Tunes change my mood I mean just now we drove down here so as you remember from many other classes always my kids join me they join me now but my mom waited outside and she took them so we're sitting in the car and of course one of the kids is like ABA put music on so we put music on and when there was a a slow song they were like it's boring so put something else and then when there's a music with a little bit of action they're all like jumping up and down so and it's the same with us if you put now a a good beat of a song everybody starts moving whether you led it or not you know the shoulder starts moving and other parts of the body starts moving so the energy in the music actually moves us and and and the one of the best way of actually seeing it is in music but even in a in a if you watch a movie if the movie is very light and funny then your energy is different you laugh and you you totally different if it's a scary movie you're like you're all tense if it's an action movie you're like in your in your seat so we see that we get affected by something that is so to say energetic around us you you can feel it in a party sometimes you'll go into a party and the party is you know a dead party and sometimes you go into a certain place and the energy there is so powerful that you you don't even know why and and it's affecting you so there is some type of a power that people call it energy but the the cabalistic term to it is called the a revelation a Godly Revelation this is in in is called a Godly Revelation if Hashem decides to shine his Godly light in a certain way we will be affected by that so now it's a it's a cloudy day just think that what a little bit of gas in the Air 2 kilometers above us how it changes our entire mood why the only thing that it is just a bunch of gas to to together forming these thick clouds then the Rays of the sun don't come here the tone of the light even in the in the house and in the street is darker it's heavier it's colder sometimes something that is so not tangible can completely affect your your entire day you can go now on a vacation and if you have a um a day like today it's a miserable day it's not fun you don't want to do anything have a little bit of Sun out and a little bit of a nice energy from the birds and the and the air you're in a completely different mood mood so we totally get affected by the energy that is surrounding us if we were much more sensitive and much more aware then we would actually see that energy and we would see how the energy is affecting us some people are so sensitive they know how to tap into the energy and that's the SEC where the secret lies that's one of the main many reasons why we pray every day because by me praying I'm allowing myself to tap into certain energies now there's constantly a lot of energies around us imagine now a big mall and technically if you would think technically why do I need to go into a mall with 500 stores or 30 stores isn't it enough to have one store just put me in bloomindale it has all the the things that I need or whatever it is you know Macy's I'm just throwing a name it has everything in it it has the the men's department the women's Department the kids department they have everything that I don't need to start going out for one store to another and even if I when I go shopping I go to a mall there's 50 shoe stores technically one might say give me one shoe store with all the shoes and I'll choose and some stores you walk in it's just enough that the the person the sales there is is is not nice you walk out the energy like I don't want to be here I don't want to buy here so we constantly get affected by by changes which technically we don't need all these variety we don't need such a large Variety in anything technically we could do do just good with one option that's why in the in the desert now we're reading it now this week they started eating man they didn't have different types of food one type of food for 40 years in their mind they were able to tap into some type of an energy that the taste of the man would be totally different whatever they want they wanted it to be like steak it was tasting like steak they wanted it to be like sushi they would it would taste like sushi what are we eating tonight let me think okay I want a hamburger but the reality was that the man itself looked the same was the same substance same quantity just they were able to tap into to the to the difference of it so to say they were pretty living pretty simple there they didn't have malls in the desert they didn't have anything just just imagine millions of people we're now reading it it's close to close to us we're Val our sages valuate about 3 million people walking in the desert just imagine the show when you tell somebody we were walking in the desert you imagine a bunch of you know guys with with robes with sandals and a camel this was like a half of Israel half of the population of Israel walking in a desert and they had systems with them can you imagine moving such a such a big amount of people they had a whole system just imagine how they used to put the mishan back and and tear it apart all the time and and this was a big structure and and they were able to do that and they lived in the desert and they lived better than what we think that we that we live that we live why because they were able to to tap into the energy now there's constantly around us a certain energy if I know how to tap into it then I will derive something some benefit out of this energy now if you go on a vacation what makes the vacation special the the company the hotel the scenery what makes the the the the holiday so special we've been to a certain place two three times in a row each time is a completely different energy few years ago we were invited a few PES in a row to a retreat it happened to be that exactly two two of my kids were born right after PES so we had two years that my wife was due around PES time so so she was like I can't do PES and we we got invited my wife is good with that she says okay let's go to a retreat you'll talk and we'll get a discount so everybody's on vacation and I have to give lectures all day long so but it did get us a good discount and we were invited to this beautiful PES Retreat then I would never in my right mind think of going to such a thing and after 3 years in a row going to such a retreat both my wife and me agreed this is not PES it's just Extravaganza of food it's not the actual holiday you don't feel the holiday but it was spoiling and my wife needed that so the amazing thing is that we went there one year after the other every year was completely different the the the group of the people was different the the the energy was different and one might say What's the difference same Hotel same caterer same time of a year same weather everything is the same why would it be completely different so the point to take from that is that there's constantly energy around us if one wants to somehow imagine what is AEM imagine just some type of a magnetic field of energy I mean people will imagine in their mind an old guy with a long beard sitting on a big chair and throwing orders in in the heavens but really hasem doesn't have a shape doesn't have a size and if you want to somehow relate then just imagine this unbelievable powerful magnetic field of unbelievable energy that the energy constantly changes and the same way that everything in this world changes the the seasons in the year change the the colors of of the day change the trees outside everything is constantly changing changing imagine now the world will never change everything will be the same colors everything would be the same taste everything would be boring basically and even the variety that we have now is nothing compared to how it's going to be very soon when mashiah comes very soon the mashia is going to come one of the first few things that we're going to start noticing that we're going to have a lot more colors in the world what we see now the world is very dull very very dull colors and when mashiah is going to come very soon the colors are going to change we're going to have millions of more shapes of colors and everything is going to be Vivid and strong same thing with the food we're not going to have any more all these processed fruit that you have now in the supermarkets you're not going to have any more Cheetos and and bambba and bisle and all these things it's all going to be fruits and vegetables and all the trees they call it in Hebrew a tree that doesn't have fruit 90% of the trees out there they don't have fruit what do we have now 10 15 20 types of fruit when you think about it and then hundreds of other types of trees that they don't give fruit when mashia is going to come these trees are going to start giving fruit and when the prophet says that the that is like a something a treat will be as easy to get as sand and you know how they teach the kids that there's going to be lollipops on the trees so there's not going to be lollipops on the trees just that the fruit is going to be be so sweet and so unbelievable that what we have now is disgusting I mean once in a blue moon you fall in a good pear a good apple and you're like wow that's a real good piece of fruit the rest is dull so very soon that's going to change too but what we want to take from all that is that Hashem constantly is very Dynamic and he's changing his energy and if I know how to tap into this energy then what I get from that is I derive some type of benefit that's that's the whole concept that's why our sages decided for us that we have to pray because praying is not necessarily asking for my needs is meditating to bring myself to a point that I can tap into the the energy of the day and then I derive something out of it I'll will derive pleasure or happiness or or whatever it is so some days of the year the energy is completely completely different and unbelievably more powerful like like in in a way that cannot be compared to other days just that we're so a low in our level that we don't feel the difference that's why on the on the Hol on the festivals we're not allowed to work because by working we're desecrating the Holiness of the day we don't see it for us it's like okay another day so just dress nicer that's it now two holidays The Godly revelation that we call it a second ago an energy is so powerful that's puim and and and kanuka these are the two days that a certain energy a certain Godly light came to the world and when the sages saw what's going on now when I'm saying sages I'm not talking about a rabbi with a long beard that knows the entire inside out I'm talking about sikim that we cannot even understand their that even that that what we can understand in our generation is not even to compare to these men our sages they had unbelievable KES half of them were prophets they were able to see things that we we can imagine what they would see so when they would see something they would be able to understand from it and for example to decide okay today's is going to be a holiday for example with the miracle with kanuka they saw what's going on in kanuka they had many many miracles in kanuka they won the war and then the miracle of the oil and there was a lot of other different Miracles happening the first year there wasn't kanuka only the next year when the sages at the time saw the exact same Godly Revelation they were like oh it returned it came back therefore okay it's going to continue coming back now for the rest of the generations therefore we're going to make a holiday out of it meaning that the holiday me doesn't mean that we're going to uh celebrate or commemorate that it came back rather we have to to prepare ourselves for that special day so I'm I'm a a worthy vessel to receive this Godly Revelation again that's why in many other miracles in history this okay a miracle very nice but it didn't repeat itself the sea only split once that's it and the plagues in MIT they only happen once they didn't repeat itself so at the time of puim and kanuka this unbelievable Godly Revelation came down to the world and not only that it kept repeating itself now I want to learn and to prepare what do I have to take out of this holiday of purin that is coming very soon it's not about stuffing myself with mot and all the treats that after that you can be sick for 3 days just from all the sugar from all the candy and it's not about the the the costume it's not about it's it's much more to it and you see that in the holiday of Purim there are four special mitv I think that in last year when we had a class here about pu we went through all these four mitzvot and and I explained the the more of a mystical part why why we do this mitv I'm almost certain we had the class here if not then then I'm sure you can find it online but that I talk about the the four Mitzvah of puim they they have a very special spiritual connection first of all if you notice they all start with the letter me because we have then so these four they all start with the letter me and me is a very very powerful letter because we have two types of mems we have a regular me and then we have the MS to the last me that is a closed box and the first me is almost closed from all Direction just that it has a little Gap in the bottom of an opening and the letter me why is it so special if you look the first letter that starts the Torah is bit which one might argue and say the the letter that should start the Tor should be Alf not bet what's why would it start with bit so there's many explanations why the Torah starts with a letter bit but one of the reasons is that if you look at the structure of the letter then it has a roof it has a floor a base it has one wall on the white right side that's how you form the letter and then the left side is completely open there like a a whole Gap there and K created the world with the letter bet because he wanted to have one side open for the to come in because if the world was perfect then there wouldn't be a place for the if there wouldn't be a then what what good am I doing here I came here to refine myself not to not to sit here and waste my time and the only way for me to refine myself and to work on myself if there's some type of resistance if I go now to the to the gym and I sit like this on a very fancy machine if I don't move nothing's going to happen I'm just going to sit on the on the seat of the the gym if I need to do some type of exercise has to be some type of resistance with weight and then I can do a certain motion if I just sit there and I don't do nothing nothing will happen it might be a beautiful gym I might be wearing a very good outfit and pay a lot of money for the membership but not no benefit will happen in order for something to happen some type of benefit whether May to get in shape or to lose weight or to be strong has to be some type of resistance and the resistance is in a gym is by weight if you would look at the logic of a gym what kind of a sport is it I'm pushing a a piece of metal I'm I'm I'm I'm torturing myself with heavy weight and then I get tired and then I get sweaty I that doesn't look like so fun give me a ball that's looks like much more fun for me to bounce a ball and to kick it or to throw it into a to a a basket but the reality is that the the effort and the energy that I can get from the gym is that I will Put Me In Shape will build my muscles and so forth but that can only be done with resistance so the K had to bring resistance to this world if I wouldn't have a then I would be like okay nothing's happening what would I fight with I mean you can take now a world class champion in boxing if you put him by himself in a ring who's going to fight he's going to just swing his hands in the air there's no fight here there's no thrill it's it's kind of sad but the most popul sport in the world is anytime typ of sport that two men fight with each other you put now two men in a ring and put some cameras on them you have 150 million people watching it and cheering and going crazy and when you thinking about it it's kind of a what kind of a sadistic sport it is and putting two men in a ring and they're beating each other up and in olden days you know in the time of the Gladiators and so they would do do it with animals and then some people they have a custom with the sports that they put animals together to see the animals fight it's some type of a weird Distortion in in our in this world's intelligence that to put two individual in one place and let them beat each other up it's a thrill and people bet money and if my the guy that I'm cheering he knocks the other guy down I'm you know get all excited what are you getting excited for because somebody just physically hurts another person I mean but if you really go down to the depth of it what kind of a weird sport they call it it is that two people fight with each other but it is one of the most populous sports in the world there's a thrill let's see who's going to be stronger that's going to be who's going to fight who's going to overcome and especially when it comes to a nice type of a martial arts then there beautiful effects this guy is going to do a fancy kick and he's going to block him and and this is when you're really thinking of it this is a a very dominating entertainment in this world unfortunately and now it trickles into all the video games the video games is all about fighting and but the the point is that it anything that comes down to this world it means that something originated before that nothing comes down to this world before it originated in the spiritual world and nothing comes down to this world without having a source which means there a source to this fight and the source of this fight is that Hashem put me in a ring and with me he put a and he says okay now fight it and in sham they're sitting millions of angels and they're let's see who's going to win the is going to go now come and convince him to do something let's see if he's going to fight back and all day long I'm in a ring and all day long the is punching me and sometimes I just slay on the ground cuz I can't take it anymore sometimes I punch back sometimes I get up sometimes I'm just in the motion of running sometimes I'm in the motion of attacking but I'm in a ring put me in a ring and all day long I'm fighting and I'm fighting my and that's what hem wanted hasem wanted to be resistance in this world because if there wouldn't be resistance then there wouldn't be any point to this world the point is is to get in shape our sages say wanted to give us a merit so he gave us a lot of mitas so this is one way of explaining the the verse but says rather it's the same letters different meaning means to refine which means wanted to refine me therefore he gave me a lot of Mitzvah to do and a lot of Torah to learn because that's hard to do the Mitzvah are hard now if I wouldn't have a I would all day long be in a I wouldn't even take that feeling off me I wouldn't even think for one second to lie or to steal or to to look the wrong direction or anything because I would be programmed to do just good like an angel angels Don't sin if you would now remove the all you would want to do all along is just be connected to the K the says okay no no no no wait let me put something in between now we'll see how much you you fight for them that and that's kind of the name of the game now I have to resist it and I have to fight it all day long now every now and then K gives me some type of a of a break like in a ring after two minutes ding ding ding ding then the fighters go to the side and they wash themselves up K also gives me breaks every now and then if not it wouldn't be fair so theh who created the world with the letter bet I mean he didn't create the the world with the letter bet he actually created the world with the letter U but the first letter of the Torah is BET to show us that the world was created with an open side that the can come in and start making problems the has seven names one of the names of the is called and we see it in many different places but it's called the the the northern wind and why Northern wind Theon is where the bet is open and and R is where the the wind where the can come in but safon comes also from the word safon safon is something that is hidden in our days we are very aware of something in our in our system that is called matp maton is my conscious that I have something in me constantly moving inside in my conscious I did something wrong it's he didn't do something wrong he didn't do so good I do whatever it is I constantly have this power in me the certain Mo motion that we call it conscious in Hebrew it's called matp why is it called mat because it comes from the word sa Saun is something that is hidden very very deep another word that we comes from the same root is what we is what we do we do on PES the command is also called it's very hidden very very deep so there are seven types of I mean seven names to the each one corresponds to one character trait of the but the worst one is this T it's this hidden one and this is why the word the Torah starts with the letter bet to give the opportunity to the to come in when mashia is going to come very soon he's going to close that me he's going to close that bet to be make it a me excuse me that's why when we left we're going to read it in a few weeks told the Jews now if you read the the verse in Hebrew it doesn't make much sense because it says you should do to me is plural mikdash is one and I will drill in them should say in it I mean the words in Hebrew there's plural and there's s single so it would make much more sense that you should build me a tabernacle a mishkan and I will dwell in it but theor says and you should make for me a tabernacle and I will dwell in in them so our sag says okay yeah in each and every one of you the mishkan is my body a mishkan is a tabernacle something very very holy and hasm says if you would make your body a mishkan I will dwell in you so my body is a mishkan my house is a mishkan my business is a mishkan my mind everything that I own is my Tabernacle my mishan mishan comes from the word L to to be in also comes from the word the dwells in something that is worthy to the to come in so says just make yourself a mishkan if you make yourself a mishkan I will come and dwell in there so if you make your house a mishkan the house is kosher put M like the Torah says put some books of of Torah keep Shabbat in the house keep the energy in the house if the if the house is is Holy then the dwells in the house and sometimes you feel it you walk into some people's houses you're like wow this this unbelievable Holiness in this home and some homes you go into the house and you feel disgusting now this is one way of building a mishan my office can also be a mishan that I run my business honest and I don't lie and I don't cheat and I don't steal and most importantly I want my mind to be a mishkan that my thoughts are clear and clean and pure and and there's no jungle going on in my mind and if a bad thought comes into my mind I push it away right away like if now will come a robber into the home and jump over the fence and start making noise in the back yard and banging on the Windows I'm not going to let him in I'm going to call the police right away listen there's some crazy guy here is trying to get into my home but that's the same thing that every day I'm being attacked by by a robber like that a 100 times a day with with these weird thoughts that they come like a a mugan like a crazy person outside and tries to get in the difference is that I let them in and my thoughts I don't push them out like a robber somebody will now knock on the door you look in the in the hole or you look in the camera you don't recognize it looks like somebody uh not so good go away the only problem is that I don't do it when they the these thoughts come to my mind so I also have to make my mind mishkan of course needless to save my body but when our sages were explaining that I have to make my body a mishan comes theal and he says no when the Tora is talking about if you T the letter the word if you write it in Hebrew if you split the word you can read it bet me it's and the last letter is me which means that if if you build me a mishkan then I will dwell in the me in the mishkan in the the four walls that are sealed and that's why hasem told told us you have to build yourself a tabernacle when mashia is going to come very soon he's going to close the bit the B is now open so the can come in then the prophet he says the power of impurity I will remove very soon when mashia is going to come so so right now it's still open now we got to kind of Sidetrack to that because I mentioned that all the Mitzvah of P they start with me and they have a meaning to that but that's a whole class in itself and and if you don't remember if you weren't here go look it online because it really is explaining each Mitzvah of the mikra and and and the feast and how is that got to do with with what we need to do which is actually totally connected to the Redemption but really what happens if you want to see the hint in puim and I want to tap into something at least this coming puim is really the story is not only a historical event yes it did happen it happened many years ago just try to go to the time machine and imagine the Jews are in is in they have the beta mikdash everything is going great suddenly the beta mikdash gets destroyed and they get kicked out of Israel after 410 years that they had bet mdash can you imagine we barely have the keset for 70 years and look what a mess they had bet mdash for 410 years they had a very good run and then unfortunately the generations became worse and worse they had three sins that created a problem idol worship H forbidden relations and bloodshed and as a result from these three sins the BET mikdash The Holy Temple was destroyed when they got kicked out of Israel the there was a prophecy that the Exile will be exactly 70 years so they already knew we're going out for 70 years like timeout for a little kid and they came back and and sure enough 67 years later happened the story with puim and then after that took about 3 years then they came back to to bet to is and started building the next bet mikdash took a few years and then they they built the second temple the second temple got destroyed unfortunately from one major sin and this sin is called sinat hating another person for no reason now the first B got destroyed from three different sins since the sins were revealed then the length of the Exile was revealed the second time the betam midash was destroyed was destroyed from a sin that you don't really see it when you can you can pretend you like somebody and really you don't and they don't see it you can smile all day long and pretend you're their friend and you in your heart you hate that person now since the sin is not revealed then the length of the Exile is not revealed and that's why we're still in Exile now really when one thinks of it why are we still in Exile I mean we're in exile for close to 2,000 years that's enough that's it we got the point we got the point we want mashia to come already everybody's ready I think everybody already got the point hasem is already pushing everybody's buttons to make sure that we're already asking for mashiah from ourish not because we we we think that we want K is making sure now that everybody's being pressed some way or another whether it's Financial whether it's Health whether it's relationships doesn't matter what it is K is pushing everybody to a corner to a point that's some people totally ignore it the smart people say that's it we need mashiah that the only solution is mashiah not a politician not a cure not money the mashiah is the only solution to everything so puim is connected to the Redemption and if you go back into the time machine just imagine the story the Jews are in Persia in Iran suddenly Rises up a Hitler ham says I want to kill them all let's get rid of them once and for all and you know the whole story there's a decree and of course Esther comes to the rescue and M I don't want to go into the historical part of it but there was a miracle and the Miracle allowed us to be to the to the decree to to be sweeten and to change now in the Miga the Miga was written really Ines the Miga is not a story and not necessarily a a a history book it was written in in in the holy spirites and in the Miga is unbelievable depths of information that's why it's called migil because the name of the queen was not EST her name was hadasa rather later on she was called EST because in the Miga a comes from the word to to be concealed and everything is concealed in the Milla so it got the name of millat the Miga of the whatever is concealed a so she got the name a really her name was hadasa and not Esther but in the Miga has unbelievable depths of of of Secrets and mysticism just in the Miga and it's talking about many different cabalistic concepts and if you go one by one in the Miga you can actually see how it's what it's referring to but it's talking at the time that there was a a concealment a h name and it's constantly talking about now when it's mentioning it's talking about the king but if you see in the entire M there's not the word of hasem there's not not elim not there's not any words of hm only a anytime that it's talking about without it's referring to the king of the world of the master of the universe and of course it's talking about the history of what happened then but the reality is that we relive this history all the time especially now in our day because right before the a Redemption and right before a building of a beta mikdash has to be a situation like a puim so if you look at the entire story of puim there's a resemblance in our generation too not necessarily in 2017 but we also had a Hammon 75 years ago that wanted to destroy the Jews in one shot he actually brought it into action and there was a a miracle and we were saved I don't know if you saw there's now a movie going on in The Social Network works that somebody made how they're showing that in the migil 10 sons of Haman were hung and they were hung in the same day and the in this video they're showing how there are 10 SS officers that were Marshal Court marshalled after the Holocaust and they're all hung which was unheard of usually they would be killed in a lethal in or shot and they hung them all and in this video they're explaining it real nice how in the Miga it's talking about that these 10 monsters will be hung and 2,000 years later these officers were were hung and they found guilty and and were judged to death so the entire story of puim is actually happening right now if you just analyze the story of puim you will see that it's happening right now just that right now the concealment is 100 times more powerful because we do not have a m we don't have a sadic in our generation that will come and save the day this time it's the job of mashiach interestingly they have the same letter starting his M his mashiah but we also don't have an Esther right now but the entire idea is that the history repeats itself now when we analyze the the four mitv that we have now the mitv everybody's obligated women everybody has to do it women are not exempt from these mitzvot so the first one is called mik mik uh you know what I'm going to add what I explained in in a previous class because I mentioned last year that these four mitv that's actually a secret for us to know how to hasten the G so I want to explain it in a different way but I'll point that part also just to remind you so mik corresponds to learning Tor so these four mitv will actually give us a hint what we need to do to hasten the Gul so the first one is learning Torah we have to be involved in learning Torah but on the other hand the hint what I need to learn from that is that in the time of the mik migil when we read the migil and women are also obligated they have toen and they have to make sure the kids are quiet and if you missed one word of the Miga you have to hear it again you Lally have to be focused and listen to every word really what happens in the time of the Miga is the greatest Godly revelation of the day that's when they the the door so to say opens that's when you start tapping into to this energy now the next Mitzvah is and after that is is not necessar necessarily a bag that I put a few treats in it and I give it to another person that's just to symbolize it but really M the mystical explanation is is that explains that each and every one of us has a Godly spark in me that enlivens me and each one of these Godly Sparks are completely unique and M is I give you a bag of treats and you give me a bag of treats so he switching the presents so to say in the spiritual term what I'm doing is that I'm sharing with you my Godly spark my energy so to say and you're sharing with me and we're switching with each other now what do I need to derive out of that what do that got to do with me this is the ultimate Isel that I'm sharing everything that I have I see myself completely equal to you now when I'm when I was a kid we used to have this beautiful M and I would come to school and the custom in the schools here here is that you put all the Mish on the table and each one comes and you just pull out a mish and I would always give the most beautiful Mish and I was always get the worst one and I would this is what I get two bumbers and a piece of Bly I would always get the worst Mish manot and I always got so upset I was like I give the best Mish manot and I'm getting like the worst one like a bag with two bombas in there and and and the thing is that really when you're thinking about it the concept of mish is that I'm giving you the I technically one my kid once asked me why can't we keep the Mish to myself I mean this is great candy here I need to give it out now some and then I'm going to get a bad one they're going to give me like a a healthy Mish with with cucumbers in there so one of my kids is like I don't like this I want to keep the Mish to myself but that's the whole concept here is the concept of totally putting my the needs of somebody else in front of my needs this is really where the secret lies is that we're so self-centered and so entral that's how you say it entric entric and we're so selfish and we're so to ourselves that that that's why we're in Exile because we only care about our small surrounding when it comes to somebody else no no no no let somebody else take care of that person which comes the third mitvah of which is Charity very very simple it's not a sophisticated Mitzvah it's just give charity now giving charity sometimes to give a coin it's easy to give a bill is a little bit harder to give a piece of paper that you actually fill it in it's even more harder because it's usually there's no bills in those amounts but real Chari is when you give out of yourself your time your space in your home your expertise your opinion that's real charity and again the whole point is that if you look what does it say in the M what does it say about us it says one nation it's scattered all over the world now me okay the literal part of it is yeah this guy is in England This Guy's in America This Guy's in South Africa This Guy's in Australia so we're scattered and it was always like that we never had our own place the only time we were all of us together is 40 years in the desert that's the only time that really all the Jews were together even when they came into Israel if you remember two and a half tribes they stayed outside they didn't want to come in and even then we were not 100% United and then also didn't last long and then 2,000 years of Exile now we're starting to what's called kib we're starting to come back all to the same land that's one of the the biggest hints that we see how mashia is very close is that we're starting to to to be gathered in the same land but the says is scattered this P piz is means to be scattered and separate it means means that we're not United there's no unity in US you forget about the fact that one is in America now one in Canada one in England that's physically spiritually and emotionally we're scattered from each other there's no Unity between us and that's where the secret lies after that we have the Mitzvah of m m is a is a feast M we have to have a which in regards to the Mitzvah what we need to do this means to be s we have to serve serve AEM with happiness we have to observe the Shabbat if you notice the main Mitzvah of Shabbat is around the table we have a Friday night meal a Saturday meal a Saturday afternoon meal it's all the celebration is around the table so the forv that I need to focus on that actually hastens the G is like I said is M corresponds to Torah I have to learn Tor I have to have my life evolved around the Torah and in order to do it it means I have to learn it then I have to have which is Charity any any type of charitable Act is the ultimate is is accepting everybody and and and inviting everybody into my life and mainly which we're going to talk about in a second is lowering myself to make space to somebody else and of course the Mish and the and the sud corresponds to serve with happiness even though our life is in not in a good place and there's not one person in the world that can raise their hand right now and say my life is perfect right now the bank account the bank manager keeps calling me and telling me stop putting money in the account I there's no room even anymore and everything is beautiful and the house and the kids and the nobody can say that there's not one person in the world that can raise their hand and say something like that rather most people will be like huh what are you talking about money I don't really know where I'm paying my my next payment of mortgage kids they're all driving me crazy this is sick this is crazy this is depressed I mean we're all going through something and most people are juggling three four things at the same time so nobody can come and say my life is perfect right now so even though my life is not 100% perfect I'm still required to put a smile on my face hasem says I I know your life is not so great right now but it doesn't mean you have to stop smiling you have to still serve hem with Sim and of course the M corresponds to to shabbat to the meals on Shabbat so just from that I need to learn the the four things that I need to apply in my life that will hasten the Gul which that in itself is enough to deal with but really what I want to deal take from from at least from this class to prepare in the next couple weeks is the concept that we are one nation that we are scattered there's no unity and the the Mitzvah of mish manot comes to Humble me to tell me take your great bag of treats but give it to somebody else without the expectation of getting the same bag back if you're a little kid You're Expecting the exact same quality but the point is that hasm says no I want you to wrap the best gift in a in a mish and give it to somebody random with no expectations and really what I want to tap into in this puim is that we don't we all lack of this unconditional love to any other person we love I love my wife and I love my kids and anybody in my circle that's who no that's my family but I go out to the street that's it everybody's strangers don't like them they're just the same I would like them to till it gets uncomfortable and most people don't even do that and unfortunately some people it's even coming into their house that there's noat Isel in the house our sages says the ultimate aat is is between a husband and wife that's the ultimate is because you're living in the same house with another individual that in some cases you can't stand that person can drive you completely nuts so that's the ultimate is is to accept accept another person that yeah he's making my life a little bit hard he she doesn't matter so to practice is is first of all in my home so most people they have not such an issue in the home they don't hate the kids or there's not such a chaos in the home if it comes already into the home and there's notat is in the home then that's already a problem in itself that I need to tap into and get some type of a a heavenly help to to to calm the the the winds down but we are suffering up until now in Exile because of that if somebody will need to point their finger on something why are we in Exile already we did everything we did what we need to do we went through suffering for 2,000 years we got the point you go now to any big Rabbi or sadik in this generation and asked him why are we still in Exile I mean that's it that we we showed already all the calculations we it's done we're past all the due dates why are we still in Exile of course nobody will take the the initiative to say we don't know cuz really we don't know that's depending on theh there's probably a good reason why we're still in Exile but if I want to kind of hint on something why I we still an exile is because we cannot stand each other and we am I don't see myself one with everybody around me I see myself one with myself and with my wife and kids and maybe my parents and siblings and my close group of friends and that's it and that's that's a good place some people even in that they don't see themselves one with their Inner Circle and if one would need to point in something why was Exile then I would say that's probably the reason because we're still suffering from the from lack of respect to another person doesn't matter who who it is who they are how they look how they dress how they pronounce the words if it's not in my group it's not good if it's not going the same way I go it's not acceptable and this is what we're lacking and puim comes to throw it straight into my face and he tells me you have to accept every individual out there like as if you are one with them that's how M actually was able to an know the decree you go all the kids together in a in shs and he made them chant Torah but he got everybody aroused to like each other and unfortunately we don't have a m in our generation to come and says come on guys we're all the same I mean maybe we have different skin complexion maybe I dress a little bit different than you I pronounce a word a little bit different than you you say oh and I say oi who cares we're all following the same Torah we all like the same God and we all R out of this mess if it's almost like having now a bunch of people on a sinking ship and instead of taking the water out and working like a team they argue with the you brought the water I didn't bring the water you made the crack no you made the crack and instead of saving ourselves we sinking in and we're sinking and we're sinking and theh is standing in sh and says why don't they get it why don't they get it all I want is just a little bit of piece here and the way to kind of relate with how Hashem feels just imagine how hasem feels it's equal to how you feel when your kids fight with each other when you're sitting and you want to relax Friday afternoon you're dead tired you want to catch a little bit of sleep and the kids fight with each other and they scream at each other and they hit each other and and I mean when I when my kids get along it's the biggest if I see them together other day I saw one of my boys he came to the his sister he hugged her he told her I love her this is a three-year-old and a 5-year-old and I was like oh a this this is what I need to see just my kids hugging each other and liking each other and here one of my kids the other day they had some treat the younger one it fell on the floor the older one came told him here you can take mine I like oh that's what I want but when they Shalom fight and and you know what they fight over a piece of plastic it's my toy it's my toy it was mine before and they fight on a piece of plastic and they sometimes they they will kill each other and the and the the the energy between is is unbearable I can't stand that this is how hasem looks at us now if I do some type of Act of charitable act towards somebody that I don't really know if it's somebody that I know it's not such a big to help my my my mother I mean some people that's for them also a problem but to help somebody that I don't even know imagine the gets in sh and then when Hashem sees us fighting over a toy over a little piece of plastic he he I can I can imagine how hasem feels when we fight over nothing over nonsense M you'd say something serious but over nonsense and that's our problem and we're kind of like beating ourselves up in a sinking ship without noticing that hey let's come down for second if we all work together we can actually get oursel out of this jam and P to point this out that's why porm says listen drink okay relax drink a lot so you'll be happy and go you know break your your your barriers and enjoy and and start liking everybody else and that's that's what the the point of the holiday is to come and tell me you have to be holy first of all we cannot not be not holy we're a holy nation we have to be holy so we start with a fast and then we start with reading a Milla and everything is nice and holy but we end with a party eating and getting drunk why because hasem says listen if if without that you're too stiff you can't you can't like each other so just drink drink and eat and relax but really we had at the time a decree against us that we were we were supposed to be annihilated by Haman he wanted to annihilate us and in our generation also there are few individuals that want to wipe us off the map if you would give them the opportunity they would do that a long time ago we are in a in a in a state of danger I mean there are nations and individuals that want to annihilate us but more than that that I less care about that is in the hands of theh wants something to happen it will happen doesn't matter what what I want to do about it of course I have to be aware of that but we can totally enol that problem and any other problems in my life all it takes is the says just just give somebody aish just lower yourself do the act of kindness but not just a simple act of kindness is is you know when when when I give a m and I have an expectation to get something back a I have high expectations B I have high expectations because my ego tells me you deserve a very nice M because you just gave one and my ego comes and tells me you're such a good Jew you help and you donate and you great mother you get great father and you unbelievable in your community you deserve to be respected and honored and and get this and that and that's the whole point of P that tells you no don't lower your ego you're not that great yourself you have your own debts your spiritual debts and it's not about you getting a m it's about you giving the Mish and what I want to get from that is is that very soon on puim is going to be the day that I can actually tap into this energy and derive the power to apply it if I don't apply it then there's there's no point our sages say the action is the most important if I sit now in sh or in a synagogue and I learn Torah all day long but I don't apply it then what's the point it's a waste of time that's why you see sometimes unfortunately you see Many religious people in our generation that they behave in a disgraceful way and what do the not religious people say oh you sit learning to all day long and that's how we behave that's what they say and and they they are totally legit you're right how can you sit in a Yesa all day long and learn Tora and then go and curse and hit and be violent and steal and do disgraceful things you're you're distorting the Torah so the point is that theh is he tried in many different ways to get the point across since we're a very stubborn Nation it seems that we're not getting the point so Hashem is putting more pressure and more pressure and more pressure that we will get the point so say ah okay life is not so easy right now because I I Hashem wants me to do something that's it mashiah is coming very soon I have to initiate a change I have to do something within me but we're very very tired this life has already made us very tired all these challenges that we go through you know HEB I don't I can't take it anymore just I need a break already that's the emotion what everybody feels I can't take this anymore the it's too hard the the it's everything it's all together I'm I'm choked already I can't take this anymore so has says just a few more breaths but the point is that you know sometimes you go around in circles and you you beating the point the point is that Hashem says all I all I want to see from you is I want you to like other people I want you to accept them and amazingly we read a few weeks ago that ysep a sadik was in jail now there's of course a big question such a sadik why would he be in jail but the point is that Hashem wanted to us to teach it wanted hasem wanted to teach us something through the suffering of the sadik and he was 12 years in jail 12 years that's a that's a pretty serious sentence in the jail in Egypt it wasn't like now the the nice jails you have now with internet and beds and and visiting hours it was a dungeon it was in a dungeon for 12 years and the story comes to tell us when the Torah comes to tell me a story comes to teach me something because the Torah comes from the word h to teach so the story is that besides the miracle that the Kos took yep out of jail how was it dressed in nature that one time after 10 years these two individuals come to the jail s and they wake up in the morning very upset because they had a bad dream now at the time it says that ysph was the ruler of the jail he was like kind of like the running the the show there and the Torah says that he approached them and told them why do you look so sad what happened and of course they told him about the dream he solv the dream two years later when parro had his dream they said oh there's a little Jewish boy in the in the jail bring him out he knows how to read the to interpret the dreams so really what was his salvation how was it dressed into Nature by these two individuals but how it was allowed to happen by the fact that he cared why they don't feel so good in the morning and why they had a sad face if he had a little bit of an ego by saying listen I'm the head of the jail I'm running the jail here if he had just a little bit of an ego he would be like I don't care if you're sad or not today but he took out of his time to approach them and tell them what what's wrong you don't look like you're having such a good day that allowed him to go into a conversation ation with them and then to to understand that he they had the dreams to solve the dreams that two years later that was his ticket out yes of course it was done the miracle was done by by hem but it had to be dressed into nature and the the the learning to take from this whole story is that his Yeshua his salvation came from the fact that he cared about somebody foreign and asked him why do you look sad how can I help you maybe I can can help you that's was his salvation his Yeshua and constantly throws people into my life that they not coming to me with a present they're coming to me with a problem and I usually don't want to hear their problem I slam the door in their face oh you're you're the 10th person who's asking for charity today you're the 10th person who is asking me to to take you in into my house today I don't have more room for for guests in my Shabbat meal or whatever it is sh con ly throws somebody in my face that is asking for my help now in most cases I'm very quick to that's what I most people do this this sigh another one really one should say wait a minute maybe my salvation is in this person maybe that person has came to to now help me to get me out I mean I'm dealing now with my issue over here could be that that person is the person that will actually save me and Hashem says I sent so many people to help you CU we pray all day long Hashem help me with my parasa hem help me with my kids Hashem help me with my husband Hashem help me with my sickness and then we have we go and complain why didn't you help me if Hashem would talk to us he would be like I did I sent you so many people this guy you closed the door in his face that guy you didn't want to take a a as a ride this guy you weren't willing to listen to him all these people they had answers to you you just didn't give them a time of day so the point that we want to take from that is that we are I'm I I'm me Me Myself and me me and my ego and I'm scattered it means I don't want no no no you stay where you are you stay where you are don't come into my place don't start getting too close to me and Hashem says no you have to completely change that and when you change that that's when actually Hashem is dressing his miracles in nature cuz Miracles can they have to be dressed in nature they cannot be not dressed in nature you cannot sit all day long like this and the mailman will knock on your door here's the $2 million check you were dreaming about you have to do something it has to be dressed into nature you know the famous story that one person came to theab REI and told him I want to be very rich so he told him okay so buy a lottery ticket and I'll give you a that you'll win and of course a few months later he comes back again he says listen I never became Rich your brother didn't work so he told him did you buy the ticket the lottery ticket like I told you so you have to buy the ticket of course if you want to win the lottery now I'm not telling you all day long to buy lottery tickets but we have to initiate something and the holiday of Pim comes to tell me what I need to initiate and not only that it tells me what I need to initiate on the day of puim I have the ability to tap into this energy to get the K the power to actually do it CU you know what they say in English easier said than none in theory everything is easy when it's coming to practicality that's already hard to do so puim is the time that I can actually take some of this energy and and benefit from it that will allow me to actually bring it down to action and the action is that that I have to to lower my expectations lower my ego put myself more out there help another person that has nothing to do with me and the hint that we see amazingly is after puim comes p p of course signifies the the Redemption the freedom if I'm able to apply this in Pim then I'll reach my own Redemption my own Freedom that's I yes I will have financial burden but it's not going to be such a problem okay it will just be there like a scratch on a car yeah okay so the car scratch so it's there the car still drives so it's not so it's perfect to my eye whatever so my my problems can be first of all be removed from me or they can stay there but without having me being a ected by them and it all boils down to how much I'm I'm not considering myself as so important and how I'm more accepting everybody around me to who they are and what they are whether it's with my relationship with my spouse or my kids or my neighbors it can be affected in any in every area so let's conclude then we'll take some questions what I want to conclude from that is that we're still in Exile and we're in Exile because of sin I know many people say we're in Exile because of this sin because of that sin nobody really knows Kosh didn't send us an email telling us why but you can kind of guess real good that we're still in Exile because of sin that's why we went out to Exile and that's why we're we're in it probably till we finish with the sin and every every person has some type of to somebody else is hating another person for no reason and the can come in many different ways a lot of people says no I like everybody can be coming in many different forms even just by being jealous of somebody else's success that's also sometimes you see people that they become successful in what they do and other people are jealous of them why is he so successful I've been trying to do this for 10 years and he's successful that's not fair that's also why be happy with the success of somebody else so the want point I want to take from that is I want to apply in my life is to be focused all day long where am I failing in this sinam and to be aware that every time that I do to maybe write it down and say okay 427 I I failed in sinam by doing this and that and if you keep some type of a track it will give you an an analogy how many times a day you are you are basically failing in this particular department and if you're true to yourself and you're really honest with yourself then it will give you a good analogy to tell you where where you're holding it's almost like you come out to a person that has high blood sugar blood uh uh pressure and you'll tell them listen you having a lot of sugar all day long no I'm not having sugar all day long I know I'm swear to you I barely have any sugar and then if you monitor the entire day three cups of coffee two croons one rala one cookie one this oh to put it together it's a lot of sugar every day so when we don't focus on what we actually do it doesn't look so much not too long ago a certain individual that I know he came he told me hey I I start I saw him changing his diet I told him what happened he told me the doctor told me I high cholesterol I have high blood pressure I have to cut the sugar from my diet and he's like you know what I never noticed that I drink and eat so much sugar you know you drink coffee juices all these things it's like now I'm noticing when I put my mind to it how much sugar I was actually taking so we don't notice how much we have into anyone can be as close to as my wife or my next door neighbor or this random person that just was you know next to me in the supermarkets so really what I want to focus on till the time that puim comes is to be a where that can only happen if I I humble myself cuz if I'm not going to humble myself I'm not going to be honest and then I'm not going to write the report the right way but you want to make your own report till puim how many times a day you are really failing to see a a good analogy where you holding am I really bad in sinam or am I'm not so bad or is my only in my home or is it in my neighborhood or it's all over the place and by that it will allow me to see how good or not good I am so when puim comes I can tap into in those 24 hours 48 hours and to tap into and says and and to focus on this is the energy that I want to derive I want to derive the ability to be more patient with the people that I can't stand I want to derive the the the ability to be more caring and understanding and loving and forgiving because I don't want to when I'm holding all this negativity in me it's affecting me forget about right now affecting the entire world and their Redemption and the Exile it's affecting me so really puim is a very special holiday that's why if you do the whole thing then you end the holiday with a party you're happy and this is ultimately what we're looking at we're looking to be happy we're all looking to be satisfied and content in our life and to have this happiness a Sim so have to do is follow these little steps we can find in us the place to to remove this spiritual dirt and by default when you move the spiritual dirt out then good energy which will correspond to sim to real Simka will come in instead and needless to say how much it will hasten my personal Redemption and later on of course the general Redemption bem it should happen very very soon and we'll wish you already a beautiful po and successful journey in your [Music] mission
