Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: How to Receive Daily Revelation of G-d's Word

[Music] welcome everyone to the year bond at beit midrash welcome home to torah and i want to welcome those and thank those who have joined us live wow it's a pretty big crowd it's on a Skype call if you're interested you can always email me the information is down below in the youtube description box also there's a link to all the previous classes you just have to find which book you're looking for and look we're still under lockdown but mmm we're just so happy to be allowed to go out so I'm sitting here in the actual bait Marash itself and we're going to be dealing with introductions it's a great introduction to shoeless okay sure Lewis is one of the holidays in the Torah and so it's biblical the question we're going to be addressing through the clear cars mind and thoughts is why does it not mention specifically the truest is that great and awesome day of the revelation right it seems to be from everything we read about it it's connected to it's rooted in agricultural markings okay so we'll see some very deep insights into why exactly the Torah does not mention the Shalu oat is the day the tur was given the Torah itself it is all about the revelation from the first letter very sheep to the last letter lammott in Easter al everything in between is part of the actual revelation that took place over 40 years but there was one pinnacle moment one very important day or moment and that was on the fiftieth day after leaving Egypt we had arrived at the mountain a few days before we prepared ourselves for another three days and then God spoke to us unbelievable how many people were there they were at least three million Jews and another six million of the mixed multitudes okay there were twice as many erev rav as there were yes really so there were nine million people physically being there at the revelation and our rabbis teach us that every soul that ever was and will be was their present at that time okay so this is a momentous occasion and the Torah does not mention that point explicitly so let's look at the clear car itself remember the vs. is going to be in Leviticus chapter 23 verse 16 but I want to start with 15 because we are in the process of counting the all mayor and this is also going to be very significant you should count for yourselves from the morrow of the rest day from the day when you brought when you bring the Omer of the waving seven weeks they shall be complete okay so in Hebrew safar 10 lock em you're gonna count me maha-rathah Shabbat from the day following Shabbat now we all know we don't all know but those who are privy to know that the word Shabbat is referring to Pesach okay so the following day from pizza we begin to count already now the Sadducees who do not believe in any oral tradition or any oral torah have made a monumental mistake they count - Oh mer they count fifty days until the giving of the Torah from the Sunday whatever Sunday follows Passover so if Passover fell on the Tuesday right a Monday night Tuesday we would begin to count Tuesday nights they would begin to count Sunday or maybe Saturday night or Sunday night let's say Saturday night they would begin to count on what they call day after Shabbat and their pet there should load which I guess people call Pentecost would come out a different day than ours okay anyway they don't believe in the oil tar all right and they're not around anymore okay let's compete on because this is our verse until the morrow of the seventh week you shall count 50 days and you shall offer a new meal offering to a chef amazing listen to these words in Hebrews odd-even Maharaja Shabbat Ashley E until the day following the seventh captain seventh week tis prohibition you even now cap fifty days the craft 10 min kaha - I'll wash em and you're going to offer a new meal offering to God where do you see any type of new meal offering in the entire Torah you don't only hear it's significant it's called a mint AHA - ah it's the only time this particular type it's called a new meal offerings brought so the clear car begins by telling us ready C Mon to your mat and Torah this is the sign this is the very sign the word c mon is a sign for the giving of the Torah why why is the words the offering of a new meal offering significant in a terms of a sign that this is the day of giving the Torah I'll tell you I theater it's really odd ha - ah at z'ha'dum the colione that it's necessary that the torah needs to be regarding by a person ate so hard on by a person the call Youm every single day kilo hye-jung qibla may hearts tonight as if this very day but every day you're in right now today I should feel as if I'm receiving the Torah now is this a feeling or is this like it existential piece of existence if you guys want to know what page were on it's tough cool Amazon okay tough cool flama design and we are in the paragraph six lines down where a new paragraph began and we're now on the third line with marsh alone is carpet era both Irish ki ohms Emma and Torah now this is where he begins to explain why is it that the Torah does not mention explicitly that this was the day of Martin talk meaning the fiftieth day of counting the day you're bringing this Mincha hadashah the day you're bringing this new meal offering as the day of Martin Torah the same loan is carpet are both Irish ki Rosh Hashanah hooyo Maidan similarly and we will discuss this as well tonight the same similarly the Torah does not mention explicitly Rosh Hashana being the what the day of judgment I know a lot of what should I say mixed up Messianic people who don't know the truth they're not part of the old tradition and they have said to me over and over again why are you guys celebrating new year in the seventh month the torch specifically says that the you count the months the meaning the months of the year a Nissan right when we celebrate Pesach two weeks earlier the first of that month of Nisan should be what to you that should be New Year's why are you selling celebrating New Year's in the seventh month the truth is there are at least four new years maybe six throughout the year okay even if you go to school everyone knows right that a new school year doesn't begin in January maybe it doesn't some parts of the world but anyway at least in America and perhaps Europe I really don't know right but you could have either even fiscal New Year's right happens to be an American I think it is January 1st but it's it's it could be any time right that would be significant so we will see that the world is judged judged on four different occasions okay whether it's for fruit whether it's for grain whether it's for water but when would man be judged man happens to be judged the day he was created he wasn't created well that's a whole mouth locusts when he was created was in a Nissan or was it in Tishrei okay there's a whole class I gave on that one was in thought that God used his thought and created either man or the world I would say the whatever let's say thought of creating man in the world and then there's another date six months away whether it was a Nissan of Tishrei that he actually did create man in the world okay so we're not going to go into that and I will try to find the actual share on that and put the link in the bottom so you can find that as well but in the meantime all we saw so far is there's a common denominator between what we're gonna call Shavuos as Matt and Torah relating the the holiday of shoe wrote which seems to be only an agricultural achievement or celebration bringing first fruits right celebrating it by these loaves of bread as we'll see soon okay and fifty days from the time we left not just left Pesach sorry the time that we brought an Omer offering right barley offering fifty days later we're gonna bring a wheat offering and that's what I meant tying it into agriculture ok but also he brings in the idea of yom had in what we called day of judgment being on rosh hashanah also the torah is non descript it calls it the yama true a day of bloat of blowing the chauffeur of Stroh for blasts okay it doesn't refer to Rosh Hashanah anywhere seemingly we'll see soon you hang in there as a day of judgment okay so he says the Thomson and Mikado by the time he finishes you'll understand that it's one reason for both it's one reason both of these are left ambiguous left not specified and he mentions just as he as he is written in a book that he has written called Oh Lucifer I am shall mountain toora loora to Shimla hog Bill Young you dua that Hashem the Lord God the creator of the universe the giver of the Torah that regarding this giving of the Torah God did not want to la Haga Biel he didn't want to set up a framework and and narrow it down to a single day a specific known day and why is that in other words even when you counted the fifty days it that didn't necessarily mean it always tell on the same day either the Gomorrah explains that the original or at least in the times of the before the Tom was established before the Sanhedrin established the calendar that it could have ended up on the fifth or the sixth were the seventh of Sivan now how can it be right there's no specific date and I'll tell you how because if you're going to count fifty days from the fifteenth or let's say in this case the sixteenth of Nisan so what are you gonna come out with you count fifty days well you don't know because a month could either be 29 days or 30 days meaning the first of the next month is following the 29th day or following the 30th day right and that month does not have 28 or 31 days it's either 29 or 30 just you know the terminology that if a month has 29 days it's called hacer it's lacking it's not a full month and then there's a full month of 30 days which we call pregnant month okay and so since between leaving Egypt meaning or at least the counting of the armor from the 16th until the fifth sixth or seventh of seven you have to times rosh chodesh you have rosh chodesh of ER and you have rosh chodesh of nissan so either one of those two months or both of them could be either meaning the month of the month of Nisan when it ends by the time rosh chodesh er comes around or the rose color should see if i'm meaning the ending of the month of ER did those months have 29 or 30 days so if what if they both had 30 days so then Shula's can come out on the seventh it will come out on the seventh if both of those days were crossed there they both both those monks were cuts there and they both had 29 days so then receive on the day of monitory would have come out on the fifth but it could be one of those months were full and one of those months were were deficient and therefore then you would come out on the sixth and since we have a set calendar established in the time of the second right up to the second temple by the same Hedren it's been set and it always comes out on the sixth okay keeping that in mind the last thing we said was regarding the giving of the Torah which is the most amazing day of the entire history of the world you understand God did not want to lock Beal he didn't want to rule our borders to set up this specific day a specific day a well-known specific day why Matthysse sorry car though she had diamond local young the young God wanted not just wanted a person needs to understand this that it should be compared to him he should imagine that each and every single day of the days of the year me call your mother Shana Kela biota young Qibla me harshly night he's supposed to imagine I'm every day I'm standing at Mount Sinai it's unbelievable right now I'm receiving the Torah he bayonet because you know what the truth is that if you're really tuned into Torah you will be nourished nourished spiritually every like everywhere you go you're always thinking and Tory you're always speaking in Torah you're writing a douchey me writing novel ideas listen to this in Misaka Arvin it says that the Torah is NIMS Allah Allah dobbsy now on the source sheet I want you to look at number three oh you know what I just want to skip I want to go back a second just so I don't forget if you go to Psalm 81 to go to Psalm 81 verse 4 now we happen to say this every Thursday it says below the chauffeur at the moon's renewal now in Hebrew it's Tico baccata shofar ok but Casserly Omkar gained new and an appointed time of our festive day so it says blow the chauffeur tika below the chauffeur what's kodesh how this means month but it really means the renewal of the moon ok Kadosh kodesh the same route the word is Kadosh to renew or new and the word for month it's a constant cycle of renewal the Casa which means covering ok a covering Leon Claire gay no no I know it that doesn't say I guess that's what it means the moves renewal because it's it's that's what a new moon is a new moon by the way it's when it's covered then you don't see it I mean we're talking about from our perspective but then it goes when it says appoint the time of our festive day lianca gamoo rosh chodesh comes 12 times a year but it's not a hug it's not called a festival it's a happy time but it's not on the level of a hug so out of all the festivals that we have right we have show lewis it's on the 6th ok v 6 or 7 it's in the middle of the month not the direct middle but it's when it's Rosh Chodesh Shu who is on the 15th of the month pay socks on the 15th of the month even Yom Kippur is gonna be on the 10th you've no biblical holiday that falls out on a Rosh Chodesh there's only one day that is a festival that falls out on a Rosh Chodesh and that's Rosh Hashanah now look at the next verse because it is a decree for Israel Judgment Day for the God of Jacob okay let's look in the Hebrew key hopefully it's Tyrell who mishpat little hair coat it is a hook it is a statute or decree for the Jewish people a judgment mishpat it's a mish bath little alcove for the God of Jacob so King David wrote this I just want to reiterate something I said I say many times and I want to make sure this is clear out of the poll Tanakh okay here's a book of Tanakh the first let's say I don't know 500 pages in this whatever it is 500 and some pages that's called the that's called the five books of Moses okay that is biblical that comes from God what about the rest I'm not saying it doesn't come from God but it's not in the same level God dictated every single letter in the order that we get it in the five books okay the prophets went into a trance into asleep into some type of slumber and when they woke up they were able to remember what God wanted them to remember to tell over to the people okay so it was they weren't fully awake like Moses was Moses didn't fall into a trance he was cognizant he was awake he was clear as clear could be these other prophets they are not on the same level of as Moses this is not direct word from God this is the letter you've to write although they knew what because of the visions they were repeating what they saw right it's not the same thing now we have a rule a prophet can never come and tell a new law right you can only clarify and give rebuke to the people that they should be doing what they already know what they already know the five books I've already said it maybe it wasn't clear in the writ in the scripture but it was clear through the oral torah and as time went on people forgot people relax and the job of the Prophet is not to Fratelli future but to tell the people to get back on track which means he's reminding them or what they already know so anything you find in the five books is I'm sorry anything you find in the rest of Tanakh the knock part the new vm including the the writings and the the prophets and the writings is a clarification of what was already in the five books okay there's nothing new so for King David he that wasn't a development that all of the sudden the Jews too said oh let's do a Judgment Day on the seventh month and we'll call that Rosh Hashanah again the Mishnah in Rosh Hashanah says it begins there are four new years there are four of them right the day that the grains are going to be judged when you're judged sin new year when the the fruits are gonna be judged it's a new year when the waters are judged it's a new year and when man is judged and when is man judged the day he was created nothing to do with leaving Egypt right leaving Egypt that happened in Nisan and we became a people and there's a reason why the first of the month of Nisan is the first of the month and there are many reasons but one of the main reasons is because we count when we count the months we're remembering how much God loves us and he took us out of Egypt so just like the days of the week we say this is the first day of the week they don't call it Monday Tuesday's we don't call it Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday we call it the first day of the week the second day of the week the third day a week until we reach Shabbos because every single day we're remembering Shabbos through the counting of the days so too when we count the months we're remembering the time that we left Egypt we became a nation okay and there's a judgment on grains okay yeah on produce of the field service is the judgment for the fruits of the trees Sukkot is the judgment on the time of on the on the on the on the on the rain and Rosh Hashanah that there very day that man was born that's the most appropriate day for him to be judged okay so let's go on I'm glad I got that point across so now we're in the second sermon you find that on number three on your source sheets and it brings a verse from Proverbs 5:19 so let me tell you what it says basically over there the word day ha is a breast okay so the pus ik says her breast will satisfy you at all times this this these are the several verses in Proverbs is talking about a loyal wife a loyal wife and the Jews loyalty to the Torah okay you can go through the verses and you'll see that it's talking about the loyalty you have for your wife or your spouse and the loyalty that we have for the Torah and therefore the Torah is being compared to the wife or the breast specifically and it says her breasts will satisfy you at all times what in the world is it talking about so the domore explains that just as a baby a tea note always finds more milk in the breasts this is the way the domore expresses it but it's it's that it's gets a new taste so to when everyone Ponder's Torah he finds taste so the way the clear Clarke's president maybe a little bit differently he says like this she calls munchetty new from the mash mash ball the whole time that the child the infant sorry the infant his nursing is using the breasts in my table Tom kadosh he draws forth a new taste now the way I understand it is that they the Tanakh the the baby's brain is really developing maybe very quickly right too quick to really retain memory right when you ask people what do you remember how far back can you go usually unless there was something traumatic people can't go back past you know three four when they were three or four years old right and even then might be difficult for most people okay so the baby the infant does probably doesn't even remember five hours or I don't how often each baby nurses but we're talking about from hour to hour and when you ever watch a child everything is new like they're looking around it could be you showed them the same thing but wow they're so excited it's it's like new because yeah I think it's first one we have to admit the brain is undeveloped but it's developing quickly it isn't the process of being developed and therefore all these connections are being made anew all the time so what we're doing is we're comparing this total this relation we have with tolera to dress or let's just say milk right it's not just the breasts but it's the milk and now I'm going to give you a little bit of insight and I think you can guess why do we eat milk --ax why do we dairy Anshe Lewis okay there's many reasons brought down but keep this in mind it's a tradition it goes way back that the Jews stay up all night and our torah and we have cheesecake ice cream and balances and we have coffee with milk graining i have coffee without milk but you can have now this is what we do this is an old tradition and I believe that it comes from here and I think I heard it in the name of the Ben yo doc okay so he says takatori this is exactly the way it works with the Torah not only what we read in Proverbs without the milk and the breast but the Torah itself called ha ha a good boy anyone who meditates in it anybody who contemplates in the Torah much of the co young Tom kadosh every single day He will draw forth a new taste I'll came Dinu therefore the logical consequence that the result is she don't allow the kyunki lo a young he blew me har seen I it will be to you as if each and every single day you were receiving the Torah a new ad are seen I mean cane if that's the case call young who Martin Torah every single day will be Martin Torah every single day will be the receiving of the Torah it's a hugging ball by anyone who meditates in it how can in royal house bill young you do a little innit anata so therefore it's not fitting we're talking about from a Shems point of view it wasn't fitting to put in this set day to live bill again to create these border of a particular time or a particular day that should be known for its giving alkane i'm lucas ow that's why the rabbi's teach us show you Cody HUD rhetoric Adashi Malaysia that the words of Torah when someone says that the varchar' listen carefully listen to all the words you're learning yourself listen do it that these words of Torah should be new to you look at the bar how you shined with Shelly bow shall Adam Kate's bow and not as something that is old antique primitive no way no how that's just not what it is it's not something that should be old to you and you're in the heart of man that usually becomes disgusted by something that is old and primitive shrimp and net at emotes a bard of our he douche because younger young but rather you should bring out you're the one should cause it to come out something new each and every single day now there's a statement of kazaaam and we see Swiss hear it in our day and time that if there is no such thing as a baked Midrash bleakly douche there's no such thing as a study hall with out something new coming from it now if you go to a study hall and there's nothing new coming from it I say switch study halls because that's not a study what can't be it can't be a study hall if you're not having this exciting feeling of learning something new I'll came a gnome and the t-nut Navarre Bottari therefore the giving of the Torah is not clear better in the Torah yo to me mash in this car waha VAT mental Hadassah it's not made any more clear than this this is what makes it clear that it tells you to bring a mint AHA - ah again it's a Corbin it's an offering to a Shannon loja rose to teach you this most important point shutaura mint kaha - ah the tour itself the one you're learning and dying for killing stuff over that is this Milka had the shot that is the offering this new offering because I only own this is the milk of had the shot and that's why we just read in chapter 23 verse 16 all about the Mincha had a shot and during world how you beast a elect and how mates are you realizing we're now in the second paragraph so on the first page that the loaves there are two loaf offerings bread offerings that are brought made of comics we know no bread offerings are made in the toe in the in the holiday in the calendar year at all okay you have the entire calendar year you bring you bring milk offerings errs it's oil and flour but that's about it it's matzah basically okay no helmets is to be brought on the altar no comets is to be brought into as an offering but this offering on sure Lewis is an exception it is made out of comets I share how Yates Arad noon shall bow I remember I had this discussion with Tova and Oriel what why is comets I mean comets is not bad all year round we pretzels we bagels right we do good night spreads all year round so why is it that on Pesach it's something to be stated we stay away from it so we went through this metaphysical idea that it represents the eighth surah okay but only on only on Pesach is it forbidden but still it's something that rises it's something that puffs up so it represents ego right it's not that we have to stay away from it all year round okay but on one show lewis it's brought specifically as i mentioned all the rest of the year this comments is not brought and yet we know that comets is compared to the y8 sahara kiba lush and huzzah in brothels Gomorrah chapter 17 a it actually is called source Ibiza so in the gomorian this gomorrah brothel 17a there are a list of Rabbis when we finish our simone astray when we finish our private silent prayer before we walk back three steps we mentioned a lot of requests okay and part of those requests is a combination of different tonight sources so many of them many of them listen to the gomorrah we don't even mention at least at that point in our prayer that might be mentioned other times so there's one particular rabbi that mentions these exact words as i mentioned in bravo 17a there's the second version of reverie alexandria and this is what he would say we want to do your will but the sourdough the sapore interesting the words saw or is the word sour supper that's the leavening agent it's called sourdough when you make a dough and you leave over the strips and you allow it to ferment further and use it as a fermenting agent in your next batch of dough so that's called sour sour the sourdough in the dough he says we want to do your will but the sourdough that's in the dough meaning the HR that's in our hearts as well as the oppression of the kingdoms and that's talking about adam it's talking about the the the the Shaboom a flute that we're in where we're basically persecuted by the gentile nations that's what's stopping us we want to do your will we the hor we've an internal enemy and we have an external force that's presenting us may it be your will to save us from them so this point of bringing the Gemara was that the word or should be isa this concept of the the the the sourdough this is huh mates is related to the eight sahara which is well known but we wanted to bring that in anyway and now I have to find my place because I always get excited I forget okay here we are lathy shiva maka matura Matsuya now wherever you find torah meaning somebody who's like a Torah scroll right as a rabbi a Torah scholar even or just a regular person who studies Torah he's like he's like a he's tourists found by him Shawn ain't IA to yahoo logic then the eight Sahara is not able to damage not able to find a place to enter as it says in kazow in could Duchenne at page 30 be you know the college bar who said this is God's own words parithi I ate Sahara I created that y8 Sahara right I created the coronavirus okay I create everything Bharati lo Tov lean and I also created the cure I created what I created the Torre says hi Noah Tyra you he created within you the inclination to do the wrong thing right to lean towards evil but he also gave me the Torah the Torah is the pill is the remedy is the drug is the healing process Vemma Lehi guitar Aloha - Miroku Maori Latoya min alien email attacked on him had it not been for the Torah sorry had it not been for the AIDS of her AHA had it not been for our own Yetzirah the Toyota remained in heaven the Torah is not to remain in heaven the question is why when Moses went up to receive the Torah you know he ran into opposition he ran into the Democrats okay he ran into some opposition they said why would you give this holy book to these lowly people this is a treasure there's nothing like this tour in the world and you're gonna give it to flesh and blood so Moses answered them you know what he said I basically tire they have agates are on you don't you don't need the Torah and after some convincing things your hundred-percent right they need it we don't so let's see what the clear car brings down from this Madras in the Gemara they gonna turn keep the Tana's ooh neat suck moshe rabbeinu moses used a claim and he succeeded against the Malaki against these angels Kshama lipnica - Bravo what did the Angels originally say the guide him the good news eh laka you have such a special treasure so why would you give it a title didn't love us with Dom you God want to give this special treasure to just flesh and blood the hey Shiva Moshe Moses says back to the Angels Cluny a she ate the heart of mayonnaise him you have no y8 Sahara amongst you right what does he say I mean it's not written here he doesn't go through the whole meddra Sh but he basically says I think I have it here on that shore she [Applause] here it's Shabbos 88b [Applause] it's on page for Ruby sure man lady said when Moshe said the angel said why is there a person among Hashem said he came to receive the Torah the angel said would you give your treasure which you stored away for nine hundred and seventy four generations before creation - just flesh and blood look what it says in Psalms 8 5 what is man that you should remember him and the son of man that you should be mindful of him so basically they were claiming that physical man is not fitting for the secrets of the Torah the Torah is a very spiritual book Ganic the Torah is a spiritual book and Hashem said to Moses you answer them I'm not gonna get involved so Moses said I fear lest the breath of their mouths burn me there so early spiritual and they don't sin ah but that's part of the answer God says hold on to my key say a commode hold on to my throne of glory and answer them remember the neshamah the soul is connected to the cassette covered and this enables man to attain the spirituality so if you look at a verse in job 26 9 he closes in the face of his throne he spreads his cloud over it may cause panic he say harsh aids all of an unknow there's an acronym for screen up so okay we're not gonna go internet but basically a Shem spread his radiance and cloud over him in other words there's a protection from Moshe in order for him to have I guess battle had debate with these fiery angels so Moshe says back Hashem well what is written in your in the Torah you give to me so like he gives an example Exodus chapter 20 verse 2 I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt he looks at the Angels did you leave Egypt you didn't leave Egypt did you descend there did Pharaoh and slave you write both parts of the Torah are suitable for man you have no connection at all to the revealed part meaning the Misses also it says in exodus 20 verse 3 you shall have you shall not have any other gods you shall not have the gods of others in my presence Louella fellow he mockery Maupin i so what was that all about do you live among other nations that serve idolatry right the do you even have a inclination to serve other gods yourself and what does it say in Exodus 20 verse 8 remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it meaning don't do melaka don't do creative acts of work do you Moluccan do you angels do you even work do you wake up at night and you wake wake up and go to work at night and come home at 5:00 you don't work so what are you reframing from on Shabbat Shabbat without refraining from doing something so what are you doing you're not doing anymore from which you have to cease from and look at Exodus chapter 20 verse 7 you shall not take the name of the Lord of your God in vain for Lord wolf will not hold blameless anyone who takes his name in vain do you do business in other words if you don't do business when would you ever take an oath that you would have to refrain from taking God's name in vain right don't swear in the name of the Lord falsely or you wouldn't even come to this situation because you never involved in business where you're in a end up in a court case trying to your lawyer trying to resolve anything it just doesn't make any sense and what about honor and your father and mother look at chapter 20 in Exodus verse 12 honor your father and your mother in order that your days be lent and on the land that the Lord your God is giving you do you have parents who gave birth to you Hashem made you right but you don't have parents like human beings at all the tourists for human beings the tourists for bus of add-on flesh and blood and look at Exodus chapter 20 verse 13 you shall not murder you should not commit adultery you shouldn't steal you shouldn't bear false witness against your neighbor low-tier Tov little Tina low tigner of Latin America a checker right do you have NZ or an a Sahara that would bring you to do any of these you know what the Angels finally admitted you're right God the entire Torah should be given to man and look at Psalms 8 to allure die Master how mighty is your name and all the earth from which you should destroy your majesty upon the heavens and this is referring to what this is referring to the idea that the angels had no problem giving having the Torah being given over okay it goes on and on I'm not going to go through right now let's go back into the text so we left off I did not been for the answer for the Yates are out for the evil inclination God would never have brought the Torah down from the higher supernal worlds down into this lower world that we're in for the claim Moser was successful when he when he said before gajja sham when it was said before a sham by the Angels you have a special treasure and then okay we went through that fine so what was all this about the whole point of this was to teach you shortly think toriel taught me that there was a need for the Torah to be given to us flesh and blood in the lower world could they lit a lamp table lean a Liat Sarika roof ahem it was all in order to give us the Tov lean the free for the healing the spice the drug that counteracts the hrrahh got create sorrow but he also created the the pill the the the healing process lamal a kiss our own in order to feel right to fill the void of deficiency that's why it says that's why it says ha mates tell Afeni remember it said in Leviticus chapter 23 verse 17 that you were going to bring these leavened bread so there's a connection between the give the whole point of the giving of the Torah to count to the eight Sahara and this is explicitly why we're bringing these loves that have the huh mates that represents the eight Sahara as giving that back to a Shem okay but it goes further than that and this is the reason also the tongue gum King a lame yum dinger rosh hashanah this is this as we mentioned earlier that both Rosh Hashanah as being Yama din and sure Lewis being the day of the given the Torah are hidden those points are not mentioned in the Torah itself conditional Gaelic other beasts rebus rewrote Lebow that a person shouldn't act in a certain way and now this is be shrewdly Bo means in an arbitrary way or in a strong handed way the saga niveau knows call you mother shot it by carrying sin him the entire year because what's gonna happen if there was a specific day that said this is the day of judgment then we would probably think to ourselves what do I have to think about though a juvenile that day comes okay I wait until ello or I'll wait until the week before Rosh Hashanah what do I need to be concerned all year long it's a specific day the day of judgment the option of the top came a subfield Korolyov a sham and then the person would think that he'll fix his actions once the day gets closer I share bogie a che che che vaca say then that's the day that God is gonna be sitting on his throne judging man le adhabi but now shakeela if we call your lyon hashem yo che vaca Salem ich pot but rather a person should imagine in his soul I point to my head that's where the soul is a person should imagine in his thoughts in his soul as if each and every single day Hashem is sitting in on his throne the mich pot to judge who made the back here the console and he's going through his notebook and he's auditing everyone's actions someone should think like this every single day the aya days there and through this what's going to be the result I know you can guess you called young the young Petrova that every single day he will repent correct the paint Aslam on the armor there's an opinion in russia shana cha page 16 116 a so I'll just read the Gomorrah first the Gomorrah sites for opinions in a brighter that differ from the Mishnah okay so Rebbe mayor held everything is judged on Rosh Hashanah and the verdict is handed down in Yom Kippur Reb yoo-hoo to hell everything is judged on Rosh Hashanah no difference there but in the verdicts are sealed on different dates Passover for the produce the field shavoo is for the fruits of the tree so coats for the water and on Yom Kippur man Reb Yossi held that man is judged every single day and he uses a verse and reversing says a man is judged every moment and it's also from a verse and I believe it's the same verse I don't have the whole game or in front of me but let's just read the rest answer the mission of thousands review Huda and is referring to the verdicts there is another question the Mishnah sets the date for man on Rosh Hashanah not Yom Kippur so the answer is the mission refers to the beginning of the judgment process and then it's finished on Yom Kippur and okay what kinda kind of read that but I'll go through it on Pesach judgment is passed regarding produce of the field on service judgment is passed regarding fruit of the tree Sukkot judgment is passed concerning rain water and man is judged on Rosh Hashanah and his verdict is sealed on Yom Kippur now the verse that we mentioned Rebbe Osteen Rebbe Nelson oh they're using the same verse listen to the verse carefully it's in job chapter 7 verse 18 that you capital why are you should inspect him every morning which implies every single day he's judged and that would be according to rob Yossi but the verse continues and observe his every moment so therefore there's an observation the judgment happening all the time and in Hebrew that if coude no live Karan right there's this inspection that's going on in the morning the regime and the moments Tiffany knew there is another type of inspection going okay so even though the same verse implies and that's where you have the argument one is saying it happens daily and the other one is saying that happens every moment okay so he mentions the club or a and his karate Vishnu Tommy male ooh that everything I put together I compiled when I mentioned that length about these two reasons came the honing the moisei das this will ring clearer this will stand as correct to any thinking person it's logical okay you come out logically okay this is going we're now going for the finishing line okay this gets interesting as we go along in verse 22 now we're Leviticus chapter 23 verse 22 Kouta can s could seer arts account okay now those are the first few words when you reap the harvest of your land what are you gonna do you're not going to remove the corner of your field okay and that has to do with what we call the pea low to Colette pea Sokka and then in you're harvesting the lek it could circle oats locket right so when you you're not gonna gather up that's like it collect your gatherings you're not going to gather the gleanings you're gonna leave them behind so that's a matter of the first one was a corner of the field a certain measurement and the second thing is as you were harvesting pieces sell you're not going to go back and get them you're gonna leave them for the unnie or the gear you're gonna leave them for the poor or for the convert ties ovo Tom Annie Hashem okay cam so you're not gonna leave them rather you should leave these sorry you leave these for the poor or for the stranger I'm Lord your God what does Rashi say over the I'll tell you let's just go into let's do the last part which says you shall leave them leave it before them and let them gather it up you shall not help one of them you shall not help one of them since this will deprive the others okay I'm the Lord your God who is faithful to give reward to those who fulfill my talk listen to this idea you may think I just did a mitzvah of oh man he's going to explain why we just read about the armor the altar was done with your field you took and you cut the barley okay and you offer it up okay and then your goal also use your mimic AHA - ah again you're using your your field and your you're offering something up you may think enough already I did my Mitzvah the field was used to serve Hashem I'm finished I'm exempt I'm not to do anymore no wait till you hear this God peeps later on he gave you an opportunity and when you do that opportunity you're even given more opportunities and he wants to keep giving you more opportunities watch what the clear card says Smee hook pass exam the parsha selling their this idea of your group taking your grains when you when you harvest and you're gonna leave over for the poor and the stranger it's smooth there's a proximity to the armor which we just read several verses before and he says this is learned by way of drush as it says she encouraged borrow who as he threw out the mitzvahs become a say God causes where he surrounds Israel with more mitzvahs in everything they do you do one thing it causes another opportunity remember the word mitzvah means an opportunity to come close he gave you a mitzvah you do it what's gonna be the reward another Mitzvah another opportunity right so now you have a field and you did the right thing and now you have you're gonna have to we've over stuff for the poor I mean I say you have to yes you're now have an opportunity to do another Mitzvah to feed the poor whether it's by leaving the corner by leaving the there's a thing called car when you when you left things in the field or when you drop cheese so what is what do we come out yorkshire licorice if a Jew goes out to plough so you're going to plough what's the big deal but there's a law that says you're not allowed a plough a donkey and a Ox together you're not allowed to it's forbidden so now you're going out to play out but guess what you have an opportunity to fulfill a mitzvah and then it says y'all to lose or oh ah you're going out to seed right to have a field an empty field then you want to throw seeds or whatever put them into these holes guess what you have an opportunity to film it so if not to crossbreed with seeds right not to plant certain things too close to each other it's called kill lion what about your to lick ture now you're going out to harvest it says we just read it don't finish off completely finish off the corner of your field so what you might think the Falcon I talk I mean you might have thought mistakenly she saw the said that this field cave in Shikoku men are I'm air since just a few verses before since from this field I took the omere offering the barley offering the further day after Pesach kvarner said bro Mitzvah cos I fulfill the mitzvot I did my duty shoe vein asylum abide by mitzvah clarity that I have no obligation to perform any more mitzvahs tamil Omer no the Torah tells you is right here right after the armored offering don't finish off the the corner of your field to tell you what to tell you this most important thing shimmy comical missiles ooh a nap Oh Tara so some men like it chuckle pea that just because you're doing Memphis Mitzvah of the Oh mayor you're not exempt you're not exempt for more mitzvahs more misses are gonna follow boobies mu shamash low his kid parrot karmakar now this actually results why wasn't when just like you have to leave over the grains for the poor there's also when you're harvesting grapes which is like a different perhaps a different season it's certainly not the same field we don't mix grapes and grains together so he says this resolves now I understand why grapes are not mentioned here they've mentioned other places but here they're not why because shame cuts you're only mushaira Karen because when you're cutting the the Oh mer there's no Karen there's no vineyard around you cannot cross the grains with the grapes who may hate it takes a leap patro so where would I ever come to think that I would be exempt so there's a there's a great proof from our words Massa Massa free yogurt it's brought down interest oh honey I'm gonna actually skip this but we'll go on to the next verse it basically ends up saying that you're not exempt okay so we'll leave it at that interest go honey it goes that length to explain why you're not at what we just said here that you still have to leave over let get ship and pea even with the codes there even with the harvest even for the harvest of your grains dove rock hair it's brought down in the good morn Rosh Hashanah 16 a which we already saw so says rebbi akiva myth named Umrah Torah have you ever professor so why does the tourists say that we bring the Oh mayor during Pesach and this is a very interesting tomorrow then in order that you will be blessed in other words God will bless you true through the grains that you bring so we just saw that the OMA the barley offering is brought the fat day following Pesach and exactly fifty days later you're bringing the wheat so there's this fruit and the grains are being blessed but let's leave it it's just the grains for now and they stay a left ham and then bringing the two loaves on chef Luis use bar who para Ceylon then guess what the fruits of the tree okay the fruits of the tree are be are being blessed on show Lewis now is we a fruit of a tree you say no you say no apparently the Gomorrah brings four different opinions what was the tree of knowledge of good and evil do you know those four different opinions and you can learn them through the T comb through it took place like for example grapes grape would have been one of them and we see that Noah tried to maitake and the great when Sue's he his boat found dry land the first thing he did was plant a vineyard that got drunk his intent was to fix what Adam had messed up he didn't succeed but we see that what about the fig apparently they were naked and God gave them a fig leaf so this was the top game this whole mess up what is it about and the other is citroën and we all do the lulav and s drug on on Sukkot and okay but what about wheat apparently wheat is the fourth opinion and we all know we're told about a tree so what is wheat how is wheat related to the tree of knowledge of good of good and evil it's called eighths Haddad told Laura eighth sadat something about the eighths and maybe maybe wheat was different but eight implies a tree but it's dot it has to do with knowledge there's going to be a connection between wheat and knowledge now that's why I actually want to bring you to the last page that I brought I gave you it's a separate sheet I just want to talk about the difference between barley yeah okay so I said about wheat being an opinion that we was the tree in the Garden of Eden but there's another opinion I mean it's not a it's not a different not a differing opinion it's an opinion about wheat that what as we do wheat is where das becomes more developed knowledge becomes more than a look-in it's a one page it says bravo for ta it's really the last few sentences of but let's go in the middle right review de said wheat is a type of the tree as we learned in a Brighton the tree which Adam the first man ate rather the mayor said it was a vine as nothing brings wailing in trouble upon man even today other than wine as it is said regarding Noah and drank from the wine he became drunk Rebbe Nehemia says it was a fig tree with the object as with the object which they were corrupted and sinned and they were rehabilitated as it says and they sewed together fig leaves and made for themselves loin claws they must have taken the leaves from the tree closest at hand ie that being the tree of knowledge okay here is our point Buddha says it was wheat as even today a child does not know how to call his father and mother until he tastes the taste of grain now I find this very difficult to try to understand I found an explanation it's a book called this Jewish self recovering spirituality in the modern world written by Jeremy Kagan and you find like a small paragraph at the end of page 183 and the beginning of 184 and it says like this I'm gonna read what it says honoring parents is compelled by the intellect that's why some will say non-jews are even obligated in honoring parents because it's something that is obvious and logical though we said that aid sobs attachment to the honor of his parents was a result of its being a value on comprise premised by any competing priority this can only focus the attachment the attachment itself comes from the intellect someone knows this is the child knows he's connected to the parent that's all he knows and you ever see as soon as the child he could be such good mood and the child that the mother brings him to the kindergarten and passes him off the kid starts screaming nothing even happened the mother is still standing there but he feels attached he or she so attached there's an attachment the attachment comes from intellect the tenacity of a subs dedication to his parents is an indication of the strength of his intellect this reveals on a deeper level the source of a soft separation from the inner realm which links us to the creator for intellect is born only when we come to recognize our selves as separate from the Creator again what did that eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil do it served as a somewhat of a separation from the state we were in before intellect itself is a process of separating the ability to think and distinguishing on even finer levels the differences between one thing in another the birth of this process is called self-awareness now what are you gonna do with that self-awareness is really what it all comes down to am I gonna realize I'm in avinash am I'm a servant to a sham I have a loving father I have a la I have a loving friend called God right I might connected to him anyway or am i separate from him and my own be like rabbi Kasim discusses in the whole story of a mullick and what a mullux problem is and a mullick by the way is from ASA the the birth of this process is self-awareness the recognition of self as a separate from world and source only with the recognition of a distinct self can we begin to distinguish objects around us both from ourselves and one and from one another this process began with the eating of the fruit of knowledge thus one of the opinions in the mood was is that the the fruit was wheats because the child can distinguish his mother and father is separate from themselves only from the time he begins to taste wheat because as long as he's still suckling on the breast he's dead connected but once he begins to eat and this is what they gave him back then I mean today they have all kinds of stuff he can give a kid right but once he begins to eat independently of the breast milk so now he feels separate he's separating himself in the breast the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil gave man the ability to recognize himself as separate from his source now we understand why on shaboots we're going to be khaliv a right going back to that point the force which motivated the eating of the fruit desires separation from the Creator so the force that motivated the eating of the fruit desire separation from the Creator this force of separation clothes itself in the snake and tempted Cobb into eating this is the force that a soft embodied and expressed itself in the world now as a footnote the meaning here is that as long as a child nurses from his mother he cannot distinguish himself as separate from her or the world when he starts to eat again wheat to derive his nourishment then from a source separate from her self consciousness emerges we're talking about dot the primary source of sustenance is wheat therefore I mean that's that that's what we consider sustenance coming from weed Mazzone therefore with the tasting of wheat the child gains a sense of himself and separate from his source and I want to tell you another halakhah when a child is nursing as long as the child is only sucking milk not materna not any of these synthetic drinks but mother's milk if his diaper is full you're allowed to say halt you're allowed to dive in this is not called the stuff that supposedly doesn't have a smell but I had six kids I don't remember I imagine it does have a smell but it's not a smell that's considered forbidden to pray and mention God's name around its once the child begins to eat wheat there's a process in the digestive system that begins to change and he has a sense of self itself and for some reason the smell then becomes putrid there's a change which is when called metaphysical for physically for sure but we're dealing with the the ability for the brain to develop differently and the dentist's he's separating from his his parents on that level and God forbid we would also feel that separation going back to the Garden of Eden when we had eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil separating from the source okay and that's without going deep that's just one thing I found maybe I'll just continue to try to learn that piece deeper for myself so let's go to the last paragraph here and here we are so we mentioned I just want to go back to the beginning head of our affair alternatively as mentioned in the Gemara says rabbi akiva nickname monitory have you armorer pass off why does the Torah say we're going to bring the omron pass off in order that what in order that you will be blessed your own grains will be blessed in the field that was Pesach and through the to Lausanne shavoo is that you're gonna end up with the blessing of the fruits of the tree and that was tied into the wheat being a fruit of the tree fine hey nice Oh hum I am that we bring the wheat on Sevilla's okay fine I they need to come by in the hog and we bring the water libations on the festival of Sukkot so then we should get the grain the rains in the right time and why the 70 nations come up on Sukkot Daphna specifically on Siobhan Sukkot so they should also be judged so you get it there's different times of the year different things are judged okay so so close is the day is the week of your day of judgment on reigns that's why we do the water libation in the temple condition oh yeah aim live of adorably along there so that the the heart doesn't think wickedly by saying this is going to be the whole point of everything Miasha Scutari marriage they elect a musical my aim you spark it to those Hashanah so what is the person gonna think I did the mitzvahs I brought the barley no mare on pacer great I used my physical world positively or ensure Lewis I brought my stay Aleph and I brought my comets my wheat and I made the offering and I'll be blessed for the fruits of their tree and on so close I brought my water libations and therefore I'm going to get the rain I'm good I'm sad no that's why it's like full circle here by Karthik who bit coots artisan coots are coots are come right in when you reap when you reap listen to the words he says MK mamas that attainment honestly Liam the money of our your volcano sham if all that is true that I'm blessed when I do it why am I then required to feed the poor why am I then after I'm blessed go I have to even go further and feed these knobblies these poor people that's why the terse is when you reap your ability to reap only comes as a result of the ability okay watch this buddy says keep Tove I shared the echos mosaic Gandhi's air out Tina calm which I think means like this everything is like a circle the only reason you're able to reap is because you did the right thing you did all the other stuff because reaping comes last now think about it because we said PASOK then sugarless then suck out and then the reaping is listen to listen to how it all comes out in terms of the Amish itself you had the all mayor and the count for sure Lewis then he had rosh hashanah now right before Rosh Hashanah after when the Hamish you had our verse in verse 22 this is about the reaping so you had Pesach Sevilla's and then you have this reaping and then you have Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur and focus so what's it doing right there that everything seems to be causing the next is like a domino effect if you don't have one it's not going to result in the next you want to be blessed you must give to the poor this is how I understand what he's saying and the last statement he says is when you look at Rashi Rashi actually it leaves us with a difficulty and he's going to resolve that difficult when you go back into dannis look at the Rashi on it's gonna be on page nine by the way when you reap so it already said in verse 10 speak to the children they don't say to them when you enter the Land of Israel will give you and you reap its harvest and you will bring the omere from the first harvest to the coin so it already says when you reap but your scripture repeats it again now in our verse in verse I mentions 2022 okay it's repeating it again why so that one who disobeys or transgresses to negative commands it's in other words if you don't leave over for the poor it's a double whammy a double punishment you're transgressing to negative Commandments rev Li I've Dini the son of Reb Yossi says why'd the scripture place this passage in the very middle of the laws regarding with the festivals with Passover and Shavuos on one side right we began with Passover insurer Lewis and then you have this harvest and then on the other side of the harvest you have Russia shunned and Yom Kippur and sokka's to teach you that whoever gives the LeCun whoever gives those leftovers the things that drop the gleanings The Forgotten sheaves and the corners of the field to the poor in the appropriate manner it's deemed as if he built the holy temple and offered up his sacrifices what the CLE cars bothered how does Rashi how does the Commish how does cos I'll make this connection between giving to the poor and making an offering on the altar to a Shem if there's a connection he's right Rashi is making that connection clear again if he does everything right it's deemed as if he built the temple and offered sacrifices offerings on it so he says hookah thean irrigation could sodomy on bein a ham that there's there's something similar between feeding the poor and offering sacrifices in the temple kagama cubanos Reuben F Leela Cohen directed sadaqa and this is interesting because the Kohanim are supposed to be I'm not gonna say poor but they're not allowed to be working in business they're really supposed to be sitting in learning Torah all day long and people can ask them questions there's supposed to be the teachers okay so when you give to the Kohanim most of the offerings are eaten by the colony so it's a way of giving sadaqa it's a way of giving charity I read again the Karbala stem cells you say okay I'm bringing a sin offering I'm bringing an offering for myself but most of the offerings are going to be eaten by the Cowan team right whatever goes to Shem goes to sham and whenever it's left basically most of the cony sometimes you eat part of it but so you're basically finding a way to feed the cony who are considered poor so it's a way of giving sadaqa so this is the this is the tie-in he's claiming that that Rashi which says that if you do what you're supposed to do to the poor for the poor in the agricultural sense it's as if you built the temple and offered sacrifices within it and he's trying to explain that connection between giving to the poor and and sacrifices because they're both accomplishing the same goal feeding the poor and he just mentions the rom bond that this whole idea of harvesting the Omer it teaches you that that does not alleviate you're not exempt from neck it and chakra and pea you still have to help the poor okay so we'll leave it at that I want to wish everyone and shabbat shalom i welcome you to hope the torah of course i wish you wish much loam and i I encourage you to listen we never asked for this share hit the thumbs up like if you do like it and share with your friends in your different groups and your social groups and encourage other people to tune in okay so that's why I can say have a great life god bless [Music]
