Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Salvation comes in Two Ways

[Music] okay welcome everyone we are impartial Davari min the clear car Deuteronomy chapter 1 welcome once again to the year banette baked madras and we're not starting in the very beginning of the of the clea car we're going to deal with something that's more relative and relating to the three weeks in particular or in general I should say and tisha Belov in particular we deal with the three weeks we're talking about bookends you know we're talking about the 17th of Tammuz which had passed almost three weeks ago and the ninth of art which is really the Shabbat but it's pushed off till Sunday and truth be told it doesn't even have to happen okay and it's going to really and we're going to relate it to a very important verse that that is a sign in the in the in the Tanakh itself about what we call bein hum it serene so you'll find that you might as well become familiar with it it's number 20 on the source sheet lamentations 5 3 it talks about you who went into exile because of the affliction and great servitude goal so you who the me oniy whom a row Voevoda and then what happened she settled amongst the nations Yahshua the and then what happened she found no rest no mutt saw menorah but this is the important part well for our sheer anyway Cole wrote the ha I see Guha bein amid serene that all her pursuers all that were all those were chasing after her reached up to her we're able to grasp were able to overtake now what does this mean Bay Mohammed sorry we called these three weeks between the 17th of Tammuz which in which the sin of the golden calf took place the heta a gal and fish above and where the spies had been sent and came back with the evil report a place called piranha and that happened on Tisha by off so our verse if you go to the verse itself we're going to go to the first verse in Deuteronomy and it says like this these are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel Allah Davari my Shirdi bear Moshe I'll call you straight out where did he speak them behavior yard gain across the Jordan Bamidbar pareve in they will call it the hour of the wilderness and it was more sooth it was apparently opposite to see if Reed's bein Paran Oh bein toe fell between a place called Perron and that's a real place we know that place existed well bein toe fell Villa Vaughn we're gonna see a Rashi that says he's gonna quote rebuking on in the name of the rosh be resumed by a high that these two places do not exist so what are we talking about here if they don't exist the COTS a rose the diese half and between under these other places okay so I just want to summarize some of the lessons we had talked about previously up until this point and I think it's important just so we're on should say the same page so we have an idea that this thing that we're called this book called Suvari Deuteronomy is the beginning of Moses's farewell speech okay that's how we're starting out it's Deuteronomy how many days did he start before his death right we know that he died on the seventh of Aadhaar the Torah tells us a few verses later that this was in the eleven the 40th year on the eleventh month the first day Rosh Chodesh of the eleventh month what's the eleventh month she fought ninety of Aadhaar is the twelfth month and right before our very spot so when did we come into the land of Israel on the 10th of Nisan so how many days is that after Moses death the Torah even tells us 33 days after Moses had died we came into the land thirty days of mourning and three days of preparation so okay so now everything's in order we know where we're at we're in the beginning of the Irani Moses farewell speech and guess what Rashi tells us this is rebuked now he tells us why because another important lesson that when someone gives rebuke not just any review we're talking about rebuke of someone who has done something and you want to ensure that they don't do it again so we're not talking about someone who's about to commit a crime that of course you have to rebuke immediately okay or concern that someone may fall but we're talking about someone has already fallen and already proved negligent but say in these actions and you want it and you want to give them pleased up you want to give them strength and lessons in life so that they don't repeat these over and over and over and over and over again okay so that's also a very important factor and we also learned that the first thing he spoke to was Israel not B'nai Israel he first gave rebuke to the leaders now why did he mean to give rebuke to the leaders they weren't really guilty of the sins that took place in some of these places or throughout the desert because the rebuke that Moses gave them was for not giving rebuke and he taught them how to give rebuke it's such an important thing to be able to do correctly and the best way is through hints meaning especially when you have a very honorable person so how do you know to give them over the head it's very difficult most people would rebel and not not take it lightly not take it so easily however when it comes to leaders anyway they want as we know you if you're a sadiq you want review you need a mirror you need something to gauge yourself so you can improve yourself that's what we're here in this world floor as the Vilna Gaon says we're here to do I'm adult to fix ourselves to protect ourselves so it's very important to understand how and one of the greatest ways in order for the person to receive it is to give it over in hinting fashion so that leads us to this idea that some of these places don't even exist as you'll see we will come across that Rashi so these are hints to the actual sins that had been performed okay so once we have that down let's go on to see what the clear card says so we're on tough race pay gimel okay tire fog car fog tough rage peganum so the clear car begins to explain what does it mean be a mundane what does it mean between this and between that that this is the place that I'm going to add a second explanation you know he pre previously gave a very in-depth explanation but now he's going to explain what is it exactly mean when those two fray that that phrase the bay need a knee between what between two things 17th of Tammuz and tisha Bob now what about Perron I already mentioned it earlier in the introduction that's high knew Massa Marah glean that's exactly the place that we sent the spies from I share bobba bobba Thea shelf Keenum this is where we ended up having a cry for not right and we'll explain that shortly we'll hook the bethey ladoris the laetetia bob has the gomorian tiniest mentions that God established for us you said you're crying now I'm going to give you something to cry about and there would be a reason to cry for all generations on Tisha bob has just some you know historically not only it's pretty bad enough that the first and second temples were destroyed on Tisha bob but throughout history and it all goes back to this sin of the spies okay the expulsion from Spain right if anybody knows in 1492 Columbus set sail looking for the West Indies or how to shortcut to get to India right so he from he flew he'd be set sail immediately the day after Tish above the decree of Ferdinand and Isabelle they should their name should they should rot anyway that they're very evil people and it was because he had Jews on on board he was making sure he collected as many as he could as well and he left the day after tisha Bob you can google that it's a big question was he himself Jewish for sure he had Jews his Navigator was Jewish and the reason he left the day after tisha bells because he had Jews on board but the big question is was he himself Jewish that remains a mystery okay and what about the word total now according to Rashi which you could look at you'll see he mentions that it's based on a tasteless that complaint about the tasteless man okay so here's I think that's Rashi ok we have to go back to source one I believe when you look at page 2 between piranha tofu and LaVon Rovio can done said in the name of the rash be written by yokai he looked over the entire Tanakh the entire Micra and he never found the place by this name so it's not even Rashi doing the investigation this is going back a thousand years before Rashi the explanation is that he rebuked them right Moses was given this rebuke because of the foolish this is the word foolish things they said about the mana the mana was white the clear card is not going to have any problem with the word LaVon giving review about the Mon ok because the man was white but he's going to and the Rashi says and our souls loathe this bread that you could find numbers we're gonna have here you may have to go back to page 6 look at number 9 the people spoke a bit against God and against Moses why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the desert for there is no bread and no water and we were disgusted with this rotten bread this is how the Jews spoke about the mind listen to the words he ain't lack of the aim I am right they mentioned there's no water there's no bread then now a new cut saw and our souls are disgusted the length of her cloak hail by this rotten bread now if I gave you can imagine you were hungry or thirsty and nothing to eat I gave you this thing nourish you it was it was pure it had no toxins in there there was no additives there was no antibiotics there was no synthetic it was pure natural from heaven right it was most healthy healthiest thing in the world and they were totally satisfied how can they complain but if I gave you two healthy and maybe yet if I gave you Carver a carp cardboard to eat everyday if I go out of your mind right it's true that whatever you thought and we're going to get into this whatever you think is is how it tasted so we're gonna really discuss this idea of using your mind I'm sure there's gonna be incredible so they were able to or should have use their minds to think of whatever they wanted ravioli let's say right with mushrooms and cream sauce who knows whatever you wanted that day could change every moment so let's look at that Rashi we're still nourish II okay where am i here we are where he's gonna also focus in look at that ratio it's on page seven at the top with this rotten bread by the way you know that we were in the desert we didn't go to the bathroom we didn't sweat I mentioned those no toxins right since the mana was absorbed into their limbs and not excreted at all no they were saving water no they didn't it was absorbed perfectly into their limbs meaning into their organs they didn't have to change their clothes it was miraculous the clothes grew with them it says their feet did not swell or crack I didn't have to change I can you imagine I can't imagine wearing socks more than one day but obviously people in the army and then they vet I think it's wrong that did these socks that the army can wear for several days it's a miracle now I should be careful anyway listen let's go back to this part of the Rashi since the mana was absorbed into their limbs Leticia Ahmad nibla by varam right then they called it rotten okay so this is a very to wonder if wonderous Rashi the clear car is gonna disagree now he hasn't disagree with Rashi percent because Rashi is bringing it from earlier sources he's gonna say you're right about the LaVon is the mana but I'm telling you that the word TOEFL is not referring to this because if it was I would have used a better verse if we're gonna see that verse but it's gonna say it's referring to the sin of the golden calf the head to a gal and we're gonna see we're gonna learn a little bit about the lexicon of these words so let's go back into what clear car says he says so he says the title hi know a girl a share or sue that the word hotel is referring to the golden calf which they had made now he's referring to Rashi kiamashi parish Rashi should tell her man that when he said that they were they called the man tasteless or even ruinous a load in Ian's been Achra I really don't see that in the in the text in any of the scripture however he says if I was Rashi this is the verse I would have brought to bring home my point the l-train knock owned in Hiroshima for show me Russian it would have been better it would have been more proper to back up Russia's explanation if he would have brought the verse from job 6 6 Eve and it says I get I tell to fail merely melih can bland food be eaten without salt right so we understand there let's see where we add in the source she or anybody seen so that's number 15 and I wanted to show the first Rashi on that can food can bland food be eating a thing that has no salt must be salted that's who you can see in the verse where is there a taste in a saliva or a strong tasting food right can bland food be even without salt amid lamella so the word tough ale by the way when we think about making bruh coats and you make one Bravo on a food there's an e car and there's a tether there's a tough ale there's something called secondary the main thing is the tasty stuff or it should be right that's why you're eating it for the nutrition but that's the main thing the second thing is usually that which is not it's made me called filler it's secondary yet so you have mean potatoes obviously you make two separate brothels but if it was if you ask what is the Economist ethyl was the secondary good meat is going to be the main thing and the potatoes are secondary so one would be the e car okay that's what I'm talking I didn't use that as an example that we making one Bravo I just used that example what's considered a car and what stuff else correct okay so let's go back to the create car now that we have this straight that that raashi that the car feels that that would have been more proper if you want to understand the word tell as tasteless as they were mocking the man from them they were receiving from heaven why keycode over Shane bottom because anything that doesn't have taste Nick rata fell if it doesn't have taste it's considered secondary xylem a scheme ladira Rashi then I the clear car would totally agree with Rashi had he brought that verse of Allah Theodore K no cur of the schwa but according to the way we're explaining it we're about to explain it anyway according to way we have explained things in the past listen this is what it means Shema say hey girl Remy's bateau tow that really the hint given about the sin of the golden calf is hinted through the word toto why she's been meaning the place right kimochi no Russians ever voters Arabic AMA McComas we see this word TOEFL referring to I'll use the word either false or false gods in many places so let's see Jeremiah for example Jeremiah 23 verse 13 it's talking about the false prophets in the sham Rome in the Samaria we've been in the VA show Road within write those prophets of Samaria we eat eat if Allah I saw at if Allah whatever that means yet let's see I saw something we're gonna relate it to idol worship as it says he novel the POW they I don't have the whole thing here but I don't know why in my page but they prophesized about the bow the bowels idol worship so you have there the word titla referring to idol worship clear as day and then in a trial amman tations the to verse 14 it mentions of the I ate na VI eat Kazuma chef Lata fell your prophets have seen false and senseless visions so again the word tough ale is referring to the false prophecy or nothingness when it comes to godliness the opposite of godliness it's fake news huh tuff fell and so to know this word in your SQL Ezekiel chapter 13 verse 11 it's talking about people I imagine you try others in real estate for a while so you want to sell property you can't whitewash things right it's called Shakir it's it's deception so if you have a big crack in the wall that you don't want the buyer to see you just plaster it over but guess what you would be responsible right it's a it's a fraudulent sale you have to tell the the potential buyer of anything major right in terms of the structure any fracturing the structure so here this verse talks about say to the plasters who doubt right on and unloaded the structure is gonna fall apart so the Takata fell the out of the concept of plastering over or else I'll use the word whitewashing it's false it's fake nose right that is another word tothe L is used so too we find me Lisa sees his language and you can find this in Exodus chapter 32 verse 4 who said this is the heir of Rob these are your God's o Israel when they made the sin they made they made the golden calf who baz sadness knew tittle elohim this they gave over this court over Lazzara this false the fake knows oh yeah this is your God's o Israel this is a tippler to their gods this you see that it refers to idol worship as I a mischievous of Atomos I'm ready to dis occur when did the sin of the golden calf occur 17th of Tammuz and what happened on that day buh-bye young wish table rojulu close now listen to this measure for measure right we talked about God loves us he wants to see us improve he sends this prophets to tell us work on your character you need to improve and he sends punishments for the same way so it's a way proud it's a prophetic message work on yourself and I'm gonna give you a message that's gonna be so clear measure for measure so what does he send us well first of all and that very day we brought Moses broke the tablets and what happens in the future you can find out and the more time is 26 B will be Kiev on email ooh who's valid or Alize that the cracking of these ruby stones we're going to be established forever keep your ship as with Tom who's you know what happened that the walls the stone walls of you shrine were breached keeper Shiva's Roberta knows hookah Bahama tear lava Neha boob ain't a Google email ooh yes Railroad Days vena mish battalion now between these two I'll call them borders right with we said boundaries right mitt serene our boundaries like think about bookends you have 17th of Tammuz on one side which represents the sin of the golden calf on the other side you have the 19th the ninth of of which represents the sin of the Spy's so between these two boundaries in time in space in place however you want to look at it maybe all three you have Israel crouching as if we be out to be ambushed with justice with din okay listen to these words Dain snake Lula Mae Laurie Strode Roy Bates Roy Bates is waiting for an ambush right you're crouching between Mishpatim these two judgments the Russian Dana Bain that's what it means when we started out what does it mean between here and between their banal bane and that we mentioned over here and now now we're getting to that verse I think it's number 20 on the sword sheets that would be eight Holloman tations chapter 1 verse 3 : ec Guha Bane omit sorry and that all her pursuers overtook her between the boundaries correct number 20 so I think that we have to look the Cypriot translation all her pursuers overtook her in the narrow places right min ha mates are right King David in Psalm sings you know that between the straights I want to get this message across because we're all on a journey and we're all gonna find ourselves in predicaments like Egypt Mitch Ryan why I always asked myself and maybe you have asked yourself as well how come so many of our mitzvahs right 613 misses how many of them are related to the idea of remembering you were in Egypt right from Kadesh Friday night to Shabbos all the Hakim basically in so many other mixes all right to fill him right how many these misses that we do God says remember you were in Egypt well that was like three thousand three hundred years ago I have to remember I was in Egypt three thousand three no because today yesterday two weeks ago right I found myself or right now I find myself and guess what there's hope there's not a just a dream and a vision there's a promise that he will take us out from this tight spot right whether it's a motion or whether it's physical its financial right maybe it's in a relationship whatever it is right this is so important to know that listen to these words look who's Rashi on that verse yeah Judah was exiled went into exile from her land right and to a place and settle among the nations in the place where she was exiled she found no rest between the boundaries what does it mean between the boundaries where there's a high place on either side there's no place to flee you ever feel like that you ever get yourself in there you have to get yourself in a situation you find yourself in a situation and look at the last Rashi on that what does it mean hermit serene the boundaries that tight constricting place the major Sagada explains it means between the 17th of tamos and the ninth of our that's what it means okay so now we read that verse he Bain kata a gal who maintained tomorrow gleam coral robots so between these two sins we're not just talking about these dates we're talking about we're gonna get into some real meat and potatoes here the depth of the sin itself between these two sins we are crouched is as if being about to be ambushed the DOE who and we're pushed were pressed into a situation lo Yahoo lucu that we can't even rise we can't seem to get ourselves out of qiba Derek whatever now this is going to be very very interesting he's going to explain and this is what I'm going to title the the sheer salvation his salvation through man or through God you would say obviously it's through God correct or maybe all listed as well no development towards the end listen to these words but there are cat ever in the natural order of things Ain hats ala nabina a cot oh yes there's no salvation right in the natural order of things there is no salvation from an oppressing enemy came back admission Ibrahim except through one of two ways all named co-con or through both these ways simultaneous so he's gonna give us the formula for salvation hey mitsuhashi Constitution is Guara one of them is directly through God the Almighty the the king of kings the the highest of highs a Matsu the code the vacant bow he saves those who cling to him you have an intimate relationship with him he loves you he cares about you and he will save you often a nun at sumnima tablet even if you don't have a natural strength you were physically weak it doesn't matter he will save you miraculously perhaps nekoma calm nevertheless you know what cachet micaiah mean you know when he'll save you if you're doing the Mitzvah that is in Deuteronomy 6 verse 5 the 1/2 that's Hashem ok huh right if you love the Lord your God well first of all we're going to find out he loves you no matter what but you cling to him okay you cling to him by moving in that direction of loving God a god named Vagos it's the mitzvot it's the the command it's the opportunity to love God that's causing you to come close even closer to him as whom are chilled the cold the vacant boat then he saves those who are clinging to him that's the first side of the coin what's the other way you could be saved you want to find salvation listen to this Haim it's a Nutella you can even find salvation in a natural way to shame Mikhail you mean you know how when you fulfill the mitzvot after la rioja Homolka love your neighbor as yourself as each Atreyu your zone because then man other human beings you love them you have the smile on your face you greet them nicely you treat them pleasantly you're not a you know a nasty person you're a nice guy you're doing the midst of loving your neighbors yourself you do Hesed you go out of your way to help people guess what people help you back it's like mirroring just like we said about God we're gonna talk a lot about mirroring now maybe what you can call transference we'll get into that later at the end so a man will help somebody else I think a high teen now this is like very strong guys all those religious zealots out there I want you to hear these words even if they are sinners thesaurus ma a.m. even if they I don't know how far this goes because you have to be a nice guy so how many you know maybe there are all right you don't believe in God you're you don't have a moral code so how nice can you be so must be they have something they must have some moral code they must realize they did the divinity of man but nevertheless maybe they are not so observant so he says even if they are sinners and they have removed Hashem from upon themselves nevertheless become a combination of Cassatt Tikva at least there's some hope from a natural way the dark atever emote not good let him have my Rafah so this could be the excluding factor here this could be the caveat were looking for as long as they haven't upset the applecart as long as they haven't done any big sins that against against people for sure right and perhaps even a Shem they're basically average people doing what needs to be done there the law bank's abiding citizens they're good neighbors right they may not be that religious but it doesn't matter they're nice people and they try to help everyone they can they have a great heart apparently that's what he's talking about you didn't and maybe you didn't any commit into the big three you know perhaps Ruby Snape is money mailer now these two time periods we're talking about the 17th of Tammuz in the ninth of AAB as if we're talking about sins and we're relating them at the same time as loving God and loving your neighbor and we'll see how that all fits together during this time period we ix above in the 72 towers we were eased oh yes Ralph namkha had the Jewish people because of these two sins we lost both aspects of our salvation we moved away from the Shem and we had hate in our heart towards our brother this is very important because I understand how right the 17th of Tammuz relates to moving away from a chef that's idol worship but how is and I want you to think about this how is hating the Land of Israel not wanting to go in have anything to do with hating your brother in your heart it we have to he's going to answer that question it's not that it's not an easy jump right some would say well if you don't like inanimate objects you don't treating an inanimate object correctly so culture came I'm not so sure that the culture came okay but I can get how if you're not how bad something even inanimate that did something good for you it could lead you to it could lead you to not maja bad not to honor even human beings but I think what he's going to tell us is more you saw today more fundamental so he says about if we lost both aspects of salvation from human and from m MK tell me in new Solara who were going to run to for help we lost the relationship with all human beings on the planet and with a sham we're all out keep it sugar bastard but Tom who lives on the 17th of Tammuz week we we did the sin of the golden calf and on that day Bobby omnes or a now this is going to relate this to the Mosel the constellation of the month of Tammuz which is cancer the SART on the crab what did we do by creating the caf we walked backwards in our relationship to Hashem on that day we returned we retreated backwards loop on OLS shimmies brach uttereth we turned towards a Shem the back of our heads the back of our neck the lopunny not our face behold the Chamizal Sartain this all took place in the month of Tammuz chadar koleilat la flora were meaning in the way of this art on the way of the crab is to walk not straight forward but either backwards or sideways cocked Nazario for that's what happened we walk backwards and as a result the odds Ebru hats allahabad oh my gosh haha we lost the salvation that would come right from God's hands from the aspect of Hashem directly little BT Shabab now what about the night above we said that scene optimum right it's the causes hatred it's not loving your brother in your heart well on Tisch above what happened it was despised the percent and the spies came back with an evil report we're not going into the land we can't do it keep the young ready for this on that very day that first long remember it's not the first tissue bug it's the year 2000 448 so you already had 2000 4448 tissue buffs but nothing like this this is the clincher the day that we accepted the evil report and guess what happened on that day now we have to really meditate on this it was no dummy dot see not keen and betrayal there was born it was incorporated into us this hatred we had for our brother okay in other words there was a scene Athena amongst the Jewish people now how do we know this now this is going to be a little bit you have to use your brains okay you're gonna that what's the word we're going to use our minds okay the verse in chapter 20 sorry it's our chapter meaning Deuteronomy 1 verse 27 and now it says you murmured in your tents they were they were upset and you know what they said because the Lord hated us because God hates us he took us out of Egypt the tome room the see Natasha Moton oh ho Cheon oh I mean come on after all the goodness that Hashem has blessed them with you realize what they're saying does that make any sense the Jewish people in the desert said God hates us now what does Rashi say on that verse now I have to find it this is the fun part okay 23 this is what it says because the Lord hates us he took us out of Egypt to exterminate us look at Rashi on page 13 because the Lord hates us really however he loves you God doesn't hate us he really loves the Jewish people but there's a common state but you hate him okay new Hey well and where does that come off where do people say when someone loves you you think they hate you so ready for this Rashi says what is in your own heart about your friend but in other words what your imagination tells you your heart but is really in your heart sorry not imagination what is really in your heart about your friend is what you imagine is in his heart about you so if you love him most likely imagine that he loves you if you hate him you imagine that he hates you so what do we just got done saying remember it's all rooted in loving God and loving man right this is going to be the key to salvation you want to be you want to be safe man I'm telling you God love God and you got to love human beings right your fellow human being of course when it comes to the really evil people we'll talk about another time but for the most part right especially it's a team and a no-name there's no reason not to love them right so you talking about most of humanity this is very interesting I'm just going to read the the Rashi in the original Hebrew because I think it's important so Rashi says regarding see Natasha Matano who I hated him really God loved you about attend Sony moto but you hated him musclehead yo timer as a popular saying says ma div liebe whatever is in your heart al raqqa ma about your friend guess what ma do give la baie allah is what right is what you think you're imagining is in his heart about you now this is like psych 101 I think they call it transference but not sure if that's the term but let's go back into the clean cart and see how he puts this all together you remember I told you you have to really think okay we're going to activate our brain Rashi said as we just read na div div Lee Bach raha ma ma Liu Bei Allah okay so he came a subtle what were they thinking may I assure coal economy Sonia's cavero as a fact the fact is they all hated each other now we don't know this but this is a statement right if we're it's saying that sinneth clean up closes hatred entered in so we're saying as a fact so after the fact that each one hated his friend Kaufman's Thomas O'Neill Tom gamma Kurdish Barroso so either then the next logical conclusion would be that they also hated a Shem because this is what Rashi tells us they hated a Shem really he loved them let's go on understand I'll try to explain it right now after we read the next verse though may Akasha tell Omar after they made the mistake by saying Karishma recluse ain't no old Tom Buckley Nam the God hates them so in cave a dyke Tara her immun Mahesh Clark odd business call their own then with absolute certainty the natural result would be that they would each one would hate his friend now I have a few ways of looking at this it's not clear even when he says it it should be crystal clear but I worked it out today that it's not crystal clear so I'll try to explain [Music] once we established that this is right everyone can admit everyone knows that this is an issue when we think in our hearts about somebody this is like all over psychology we think that they have they hate us I'm sorry if we hate them then we think they hate us we love them we think they love us and God made us this way there's going to be a constant challenge we have to be careful of our own perceptions okay it's very clear that remember Don Lahav school what does it mean why do we have to judge people favorably it's actually quite a deep concept why we have to jump judge people favor okay very good think about when we even saw we went into the Land of Israel and we saw the natives right there the Canaanites there and what did we say that we are like grasshoppers in their eyes what in the world how can you ever say we know what they're thinking about us know as Rashi and many other explain we thought of ourselves as grasshoppers that's why we thought that they looked at us as grasshoppers and then they were giants because we had such a low self-esteem is so low worth of ourselves very important so once we establish that factor fact remember they said these words that God hates us and that wasn't true it wasn't true it means that they hated God now again we're making the sleep we're saying if you're saying that you hate God if you hate God that means you must hate other people so I think number one all man is creating the image of God so it's like this big God and then there's like little people who are sparks right so if you have this feeling and it's not nice about god how are we making this jump that must be the way you feel about people so I think that's an easier way to absorb this okay go ahead I think this is so let's go on and see how he brings it to to light he says that arts are a zoo that the insta conception of this negativity the TaylorMade the rasa right and the creation of the birth of this kara this bad character trait I share her either by it we shown of the Shamy now this you probably never heard before because we all attribute the destruction of the first temple to the violation of the three big sins right the three cardinal sins idol worship adultery murder there's no question everyone says it how is the clear card now telling us that this meda of scenic cleanup is actually the reason for the destruction of the first temple that's what he just said he said not only the first but also the second everybody says ii she says also the first and when I tell you you're gonna say of course wait can you hear what he says keep abide Rishon hi-c machina mainly seeing Israel I'll translate that that the first temple during the first temple there was a hatred amongst the leadership amongst the right the kings of the north and the kings of the south there's no question we're talking about just after King Solomon's reign there was a split and it lasted for like just over like over 400 years it was horrible it was horrible so we know that it happened just it only happened by whom by the leaders but wait to hear what he's about to say little bit by it's Jamie pasa Haneda been coleus trail it filtered down to the harmonium to the rest of the people so in the first temple there's no question there was hatred amongst the leaders it wasn't seen not the kingdom amongst all of us but guess what happened by the second temple then there was no question that's why the second temple was destroyed everyone agrees with that it was because of the scene Atheneum that run rapid rampant get these in two seconds you if you want to look in good more humans have page 9a turn nine B now when did this take place this was whole dish off we already

now have a Bain a.m. when you have no love amongst the people enough had some a little how their own nobody's willing to step out of line to help each other because they hate each other Mia kun Yakov who would help Yaakov when Yaakov hates right when Jimin Israel hates each other he cotton Vidal who if you look at the the Prophet Amos chapter 7 verse 2 where talks about Yaakov is so small who's going to help him who's going to raise him up it's because he has no merits he's no longer Israel he's Yaakov Israel's when the Ummah when the nation is collectively together on its highest level and Yaakov as the the name it's this the heel it's the lower it's when we're small and and low and and divided then we're missing the important factor that will give us a salvation so let's talk about this to sum this up this up to this point could be a little bit where to go that there is salvation in two ways and that's through loving God and loving your neighbor each one is representing the horrible idea of what the 17th of Tammuz represents which is idol worship with the golden calf and believe it or not even though it was about hating the land it's relating to the fact that we thought God hated us because we really hated him and how we deal with people now I want to just make the statement that if you say in your heart that your friend loves you so this is how you will come to love your friend meaning it's the exact opposite that the famous saying that if you say in your heart and if you in your heart hate somebody you'll say in your heart he must hate you try to get this through there is a pintle again there is this potential in every other human being to also experience the love that you're experiencing share the love man it's really there's enough to go around okay

ourselves from the divine presence the elmia new Solara who could we ever expect to come to our assistance I can I'm a motion bateau kakuzu that's why Moses said in this rebuke looky at em I'm Dean

us and the only call to who you are Fame even the weakest of our enemies can overtake us if right if we are doing what God says right he says you're acting improperly then there's gonna be results there's gonna be consequences there's gonna be punishment but it's a love God wants to see us turn ourselves around and now is the chance oh so I'm gonna end here on the clear car but I just want to you know emphasize that when we really truly understand the love that God has for us and the messages that he sends us and we can look into our own lives and really see on the most minut perfect detailed basis he is sending us messages prophetic messages of love - how what it is that we need to change we just have to have the eyes to see and if we don't have our own eyes speak to your therapist speak to your wife speak to your best friend say I wonder why this is happening to me talk to God asking to make a revelation for you reveal to me what it is that I need to change what I need to work on my life before it becomes any worse I get it a certain let's say bad thing happened there a negative thing or a comfortable situation and you must I'm telling you you must contemplate ask yourself why right before you go to sleep at night right part of the the krishma at night is to ask for forgiveness and to forgive other people but you know what if it keeps happening right and if then we're never going to change if we don't know what it is so we need to I'm saying we need so I need to we all need to write we write we all need to and this could be the last Tish above that we that we have to fast right we're looking forward to salvation we're looking towards a national and national let's just say you know a real king with a real same head room with a real base of Mick - where the knowledge of God is throughout the entire world right and it's all dependent on us our our behavior how we treat other people is holding it back right every generation that the base of Mick - has not rebuilt we're as guilty as the generation that had it destroyed now that's a heavy pill to swallow because we don't think of it that way the easy way to think of that they destroyed it and we just haven't had a chance or got enough merits to build it no we're still in the - ok we still in the mind we're still the reason that it was destroyed because we have not fixed that and once we fix it we're gonna see it rebuilt in our own eyes in our own time and own life time and I wish everyone a shabbat shalom' a very blessed Shabbat and Vedanta shamanaka Menachem will a consolation will develop immediately after Tish above whether we fast or not god bless you [Music]
