Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Will the Real Ger Please stand up! Vayeishev and Chanukah

[Music] good evening everyone welcome to the even abated rush we are here in Jerusalem right he takes a tour of me you live right the tour comes out of Zion and out of you shall live which is like that's number one we're dealing with the parsha to be a shave that's going to be the beginning but part two is we're gonna deal with some Hanukkah issues so what I'm going to do if I remember bleem ater I'm gonna put in the down below in the description box where part two begins for those who only want to hear about Hanukkah okay so Leah Nader okay so chapter 37 of Genesis the verse says be a shade Yakko Barrett's Magoo rank of these Barrett's cannot so what is the problem what I'm going to be dealing with we're dealing with issues and the first issue we're going to see in the verse is Yaakov dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings happened to be in the land of Canaan now in Hebrew the Yeshe Yaakov Yaakov dwelt right yeshiva is a sitting as a dwelling but our it's in the land of where me great of these what does it mean Magoo ray I also have to tell you I'm probably going to title this class who are the real Gary ok what does it mean to be a gear so the first problem that the Clea cars going to have with this verse is the asymmetrical right it's not symmetrical shouldn't the verse have said that Yaakov dwelt in the place in the same land that his father do well or Yaakov wandered in the same place that his father wander now you may not think that that's a big deal but all of our ha ha Meem and all of our Madrasi and so much of our lessons tonight I'm going to deal with this inconsistency so let's see what the cleaver has to say he begins by making this point Heil Alomar the verse should have said the a shaved yak aberrancy Achieva aw geez Oh the igloo Yakko Barret's McGorry RV it should have had a consistent language in the beginning of the verse as well as the middle of towards the end of the verse and it doesn't so we're gonna have to deal with that tonight isn't that exciting number two yeah why do we need to know the Eretz cannot we already know if you just go back flip a few pages back you know that we're dealing with someone who's living in the land of his father it's not never left we already know that Yakov came back of course it's Eretz cannot so the clea car says llama leave why do I need why does the verse tell me parrots cannot and now we're going to get into something that hazael has talked about and we're going to talk about tonight their lips are moving in their graves because they never died Ella Leticia mas mas CMAs Yaakov Yaakov is being held accountable he is guilty of something and we can only hope to pray that we're not gonna be guilty of the same thing I'll shall be casually yeshe Bolam hazare yes she lush up Kevin Kevin was that mean the Yaakov saw he desired he wanted to have a dwelling in this world in a permanent way again what does that mean in a permanent way lioska Tasha all amazi he wanted to be as a as a permanent resident in this world it's much deeper than that but that's just a surface level maybe I'll get into this idea azam i rabbi's teach us that this world is only a proof door it's only a hallway to the next world we should be living with one foot in all of a haba in the world to come and one foot here in this world how do I know because it's when you do Shabbat correctly when you observe and practice Shabbat where are you you're getting a taste you're getting a feeling of the world to come okay so in there are other mitzvahs like that this is and when we're really connected with a Shem if you really think about it Hashem is knit sake he's eternal okay he's eternal and if we're supposed to connect to the eternal then on a certain level even then and you know what the word Mitzvah Mitzvah means everyone translators law right some dry ritualistic law that's not what Mitzvah means the word the rural route of Mitzvah means to connect as in seventh that seven is a group a connection between several people with the same goal it means it's a staff like a group of employees all working together it's a couple Rob look up there so myth slim insolence how they're to connect to whom the the eternal so yes we're gonna have if we're really living a true Jewish life we're going to have one foot in this world and one foot in the world to come we don't want to be only connected in this world yet what does it mean that Yaakov saw it and there was some kind of guilt some kind of negative ramifications because he sought this out we'll see and what what is the clea car says has been calm in other words he was your shave he was trying to make himself like a permanent resin or wanted to be in place of in place of were not just in the place up but in place of bin come nagura of ease whereas his father's his forefather Yitzhak and Aram certainly were Gary Gary what does dare mean a wanderer a stranger all these lo hace lo que no son his forefather Yitzhak did not do such a thing Allah higher bottoms that could Gare he transverse this world as a visitor right we offer it's really interesting because in order to convert in Israel you have to have a visitor's visa you can't come I mean unless you're an Israeli already but you can't come on any other type of visa interesting okay Daniel have to shout out to you if you hear this okay and okay us not on the loan not just a wanderer but as a visitor who's just seeking a place to spend the night Letitia I'm gonna Kurdish Miroku do you realize what God actually says to Isaac look at verse 2 the source number two you'll find that in Genesis 26 3 God says to Isaac Gore are its hazards what is gone how artisodes mean it's a command for its command floor I want you to be a sojourner in this land I will be with you I will bless you for to you and to your seed oh give all these lands and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father okay okay that's okay we're gonna find that you dip both attributes are gonna be used even our Rob says we'll see shortly ah here we are you want to look in Genesis 23 verse 4 is that right gear Vitosha off I'm no theme of him okay see even Aram described himself as both all right like I said having one foot in one place and another foot in the other when he bought the burial place for Sarah okay so I'm jumping out of myself I believe we're going back to the word which says Gore Bharat assault right we saw in in in 26 3 the commit seeming command form for Isaac so now he says his key Russian Gore why does the Russian Gore appear in this seeming command by Isaac Kirito Hashem cuz God wants shallow uvaca is Shiva shock L Kevin ball amazi God does not want us this is a lesson for every single one of us not to feel this is a permanent dwelling for us in this world ka la Mar that wasn't sad she'll attack his Kailash and gore with Isha Ayyappa Oh - Pam Dawber aretz lola you have to remember even though this lamb was promised to Abraham and his seed to a certain extent and we're going to see shortly there was also a I used the word promise in the Covenant between the parts then you will be strangers in a strange land sounds familiar for 400 years now for what 400 years we'll have to talk about that so even though the land was he he was living in the land that didn't really belong to him yet it had not yet been fulfilled Mahad the bars miss ruyan MacGregor anyone who lives in a land as a foreigner is called I care Ozzie I'm on and that's why it says there it's Kanade doesn't the table hope to Eric saying it's octo Javitch true Yitzhak was as Larry pointed out but both the garanito shop he shall know he it really did belong to him Shekinah Marlin Lara I'm sorry she can I'm Robert even Haram said as we mentioned in 23 verse war-gear Vitosha anathema camp that you can find in this source 3 the tier 2 so I found himself on one hand her a knee gear yes it's true I'm a gear the Imam member he was buying this property for his mice burial place he could have gotten it for free the guy offered it them for nothing does that make any sense that he wanted to pay for it his paying for it not taken for free gained us time in our Redemption big-time explain sure we had Letterman had it really he could have taken it as it rightfully did belong to him Dean Cain can get so high auto shop Barrett's cannot as Larry pointed out your sock is also called a toe chef Peter Usha hello because really it's a dip bowl off to our house on a certain level and it would be handed down as an inheritance Mazda Charlotte Raj bar who Gore Barras so what exactly did God mean when he said to get shocked I want you to be a gear I want you to be gula are at Forrest's so this is going to be the lesson elevado shop Garrard the whole AMA Zimmer looking with absolute certainty regarding the type of life when the she live in this world is only as a gear meaning as they wander or not a permanency I want you to know the clear car he was the chief rabbi at Prague he took over for the morrow and he wasn't the only one I think the Mara also very much gave review to these very wealthy Jews who built mansions who that could last three or four generations you know I mean like they weren't tin Helms or they weren't wooden structures we're talking massive marble homes and said what are you doing you're not gonna be your neighbor I mean you're gonna be an artist rap but what do you think your house is gonna outlive you and your kids are going to take over they're gonna be religious and all that stuff you're not even teaching them correctly you're building homes outside of Eretz Israel for hundreds of years it's you should be using your money if it's a doctor you should be supporting Tory institutions that's what you should be using your money for the Clea car that's swung off Ryan from blue chips and also the morale prong and I can tell you look if you're in America I don't know if you're anywhere else in the world have these big homes sell it down sell it down and move there at strap and giveaway is as you can while you're alive what are you gonna do leave it in your will it's better to give it while you're alive you get credit I don't know how much how much credit you doing you get if you leave it in your will meaning it's only given if that one dies it might be nice for your family but what what about you - you Russia low okay I read that okay so this is the real lesson with absolute certainty regarding this type of game roots in all of month say he was teaching him that what shallow uvaca sluggish initial Shalva he should not seek and desire a life of tranquillity we're talking about all a man's death this messianic times that's right the Sham everything goes smooth we're not there yet we're living in this room which is the world full of illusions this world is temporary a feel of parrot should know even in his own land he in comedy air babe diary in Russia Shana it's interesting just the word deira means a an apartment I mean the freedom of movement to live wherever you want do roar is freedom and dough are door means the ability to move now to have Commerce it's also a act of freedom you don't have a country if you don't have the ability for Commerce in Medina you don't have a proper government these are like the freedoms to live wherever you want and to be able to have Commerce and move wherever you want that is what the town was described as freedom even Yaakov lugar mod me Menelaus up came and for some reason this is beyond us that Yaakov failed to learn this lesson but he was taught it and he eventually learned it but at this moment he had not therefore alkane coughs all of Rods Lucia Yosef there's gonna need a lot of explanation there for what happened pounced upon and jumped upon him sprung up surprised him something called the anger of Yosef what is the anger of your system mean but that's the turns cause I'll use and we're gonna explore what happens so let me give you a little bit of insight that Yaakov ends up getting salt but we he doesn't know that huh yo so Yosef ends up getting salt the Yaakov doesn't know that Yaakov doesn't know really he doesn't have closure he has enough closure so so what's going on here that as soon as he decides I'm interested now in shava and tranquility Hashem makes sure that that doesn't happen and you know what it's to all of our benefit and I'll explain why remember that rich vein of Atari the covenant between the parts where God said you will be a wanderer and your C will be wanders and the land is not yours for four hundred years so there will be a redemption of 400 years if we became if Yakov had become a permanent resident those years would not have added in - you could have added them into the four hundred years they would have been passed over I hope this is clear and therefore god forbid we would have been Egypt longer and then we already know as I'll tell us that we would have spent one more moment in Egypt we would never have been redeemed because we've sunk so low in idol worship and other types of I don't even know the words to use debauchery it's not a word I don't even know what it means but it sounds like it fits right it just sounds like it fits okay davara here I want to tell you that I have learned the vara here does not mean scratch everything we've said before it's another level so we're going to go deeper Kivar never Lavrov in chapter 15 verse 13 of Genesis it was ready he said to Abram you shall surely know that your seat will be strangers in the land that is not theirs and they will enslave them and oppress them for four hundred years your daya tada you will surely know keep Gary adds or ever that as strangers your seed will be okay gum Yakov eh located with 302 hugs that we take that hundred four hundred years into account Yakov is part of the four hundred years who be cash yeshiva shall shava them comb the gory Aviv and he sought something different well you know I'm not sure how to answer your earlier question but it was some helpless then this were fathers sought King Mesha no LOD Yitzhak hip kill hot gamers right it was from Yitzhak's birth I know that as a Bible criticism you want to see it has different times right there's a promise that we will be strangers in the strange enough four hundred thirty years another place four hundred years we just read and how long were we actual slaves in Egypt I mean I should say how long do we actually live in Egypt two hundred and ten years we're only slaves maybe a hundred maybe something like eighty is but you know what what do you do with those differences here we weren't there for two hundred ten years rut do right go down to Egypt the word we do is 200 is Torrington the way we're going to understand it is from the time of get socks birth that's exactly 400 years what do you do with the number 430 that's from the time of the Brits Batum Atari the time that God actually made these disparate it was exactly thought it was thirty years before you get such birth okay alright so now we know that and you ever do ways or as they have other what they call GPS systems maybe you use Google Maps I'm sure there's more than one app but what happens is when you're told to go a certain way and you thought you you you get get off the wrong exit well you don't you pass your exit it's called re what calculating so Hashem has so much mercy on us we could have left any time apparently right whatever that means we could have ended up being there for four hundred two full years but a shell had mercy there was a recalculation okay and this is the truth in our lives we're not under fate God knows everything before we do it there's nothing that he doesn't know we're not gonna but he gets all the possibilities in front of you you have so many choices your your free will is going to allow you to choose and then hopefully you choose the right choice if you don't don't be a recalculation okay you're gonna eventually tonight says in the perky abode or Israel goes to the world to come how's that possible except there are exceptions of course is very evil okay but all Jews gonna end up there and strut my case and mentions that God loves us he gave us so many misses what amidst this opportunities to connect to a ship that's what he wants he gave it the opportunities to connect and then you do it but he knows we're perfect so he gave us Plan B recalculating chuhwa you can still return you have an opportunity to return so he knows we're not perfect we're not gonna do all the good sis so we got to of a-- and he knows we're also not all gonna do chuva so you made fancy and what's Plan C suffering so we're all gonna eventually end up and all on my pop the question is how quick how easy which it's all up to us we want to take root a or you know plant a ID'd when they call sooo Galef so you got it mix this okay we do the best we can if we found we got to Chula Plan B so bad and then God forbid if we fail in that we always have suffering and that's up to you how much suffering you want to do okay so back in the text the last thing we said was when the itzhak was born that's when the floor that's when the stranger the the being a stranger began around the you talk how you Maha Zika as I smoked a Gary whatever that means it's a knock off that they strengthen themselves and they kept themselves as Gary hi you nothing in the totally me Marcello massa somehow they lived in tents and they kept moving when they needed to move the Loya cony Nakhla saw the McCarran the only thing that I dropped what was a burial place they didn't buy agricultural land okay the cold asuka dalish away mahira hope they all did this you know what they perform this movement of one encampment to another in order to pay off as quickly this four hundred years were there part of it because key gear years Iraq huh because as they Gare that's how you and your seed will be okay now what about a sod somehow another a soft keeps getting brought up fish llama a sob hollows little L artists he went to a new place which we call Adam Wright he himself is Adam and he went to a new place chef Pierre come on it works out well according to what the verse says ain't lost a leg but Matata show huh help show Harris he sold his birthright he didn't care about all my Bob he only cared about all of my said this is wrong this is Western civilization this is Christianity okay they only cared about this world beloved if risk like they were not interested at all in the birth right now sudden they have a change of heart a little bit too late commotion parish Rashi so partials to Islam and you can look at that in chapter 36 verse 6 that is number six it says Aesop took his wives his sons and his daughters all the people of this household now we're gonna throw this one this a little bit later and his Catalan was animals most property acquired millions cannot and where'd he go he went to the Yale 8l Eretz he went to another land because of his brother Yakko so he left he's not interested he wasn't a gear but result of a yak Ohio bears cannot Rocco specifically stayed in this land Russell acaba hey leak Manas Haaretz he was very much interested in the sad I think this is I really believe this is the Garden of Eden I really believe that you know in the flood covered the whole world it didn't affect Eretz Israel and why because the flood was like a mikvah all right if you don't want to make this like the Christians use baptism it needed the cleansing a spiritual cleansing but our shop didn't need that can only imagine God Aidan of course it wouldn't need it and the place that out of Aisha was created was just over here around the corner right the Haram ayat the Evan sto and that's where he was created and then placed into the Garden of Eden which I do not believe is that far from where we are right now and that's what I mean by having one foot in this world and another foot in the world to come for those who understand understand Valora Attila Charlene ho we're talking about a South did not it was not interested in paying off this debt to Gary as Rahab to get the the the the the debt of your seed movie foreigners I'll came coughs Allah Raksha Joseph sorry now we're talking about Yaakov Yaakov was inundated by this anger of Yosef why because he didn't want to fulfill he wanted to have a yeshiva show shava a life of tranquility and what happens as soon as Yosef is found to be missing this man who had prophecy who was able to be in a state of simcha lost that ability to that prophecy he was no longer in a state of for how many years 22 years what's 22 what's the influence of 22 years how long was your taco how long was who yaku Yaakov was away from his father Yitzhak for 22 years this is club neither can I get me to measure for measure okay this is always how God you know why God gives us punishment and I'm gonna use the word punishment but I don't mean that he gives us a punishment measured for measure because He loves us and he wants us to do Tuva and the best way of letting you know it is wrong is a true prophetic message exactly what he did wrong so the person who's spiritually awake who spiritually attunes god forbid when he is I'll use the word awaken instead of punished as soon as he's awakened by something that's gonna shake rattle and roll his Shafa his seeming trick really it's only it it's not really translated but he thinks he is and then he'll be able to pick up the message this is what I uh that's what I did wrong now I have the loving message from God what I need to fix okay so that is a very important lesson and it was the Eretz cannot be below but allah Mayakoba shiva shaman uka if that life of shalva Manuka rested tranquility had not been removed from yaku Yosef Yaakov at that moment low hum email ooh Arvin lovely Miss Barbara male Shawna that those years that he would have experienced tranquility would have been removed from the ongoing root sooth count the continuous count of those 400 years and of course the end result could have been that we would have had spent more time in Egypt which then may have resulted we may have never been redeemed I admit he our capes betray us and then the redemption would at the end would have been delayed for sure okay so now we're in verse 2 Eila todos ya of Yosef well I mean the whole verse doesn't really get in there these are the generations of Yaakov when Yosef was 17 years old but in the Hebrew all it says is in the todos Yakov Yosef right away these are the generations of Yaakov and the very next word is Yosef what do we mean by told those generations right so let's see let's see what the freak artist the the Badgers tells us remain Oh hands off Shuhei ago safe dumela Jakob it called Cairo Tov apparently Yosef was I'll use the word similar for very much alike in every aspect to yahko the dogma kilo hang you if eager called the table top so much so that if you would ask and of all his sons who is his prime progeny you would guess it was Yosef through various reasons but we're gonna see some of them you know that the drazi bring that down he looked exactly like him you know later on he looks he says his father every time he was about to fall for the wife of Polk T far he saw his father come to him and his father kind of gave him the spooky or heebie-jeebies whatever it is you know what I think I think he looked in the mirror and it came to him the image of his father but okay leave it leave it at this for now and the clear card begins to tell us that he was similar don't want you know haeyo says he could tell the table interests s so there the matter is explaining so the Midrash holes measures the sailors sharafa Yaakov Latakia mashallah keep it at the vivre call hi youngnam ha-la-lu the Yaakov in his own mind he wanted to make up he wanted to remember we discussed this already he did not honor his father he gets clocked by staying away for 22 years out came the Shane Barrett's McGorry Aviv therefore he wanted to settle in so there's a Dalek house to decide he wanted to make up and fix the fact he was away I think you mentioned that this is like man the guy deserves a break already he was working for 20 years to two years through turn 22 years he's away he's had troubles his brother was after him gosh the guy deserves a break so he wanted to we wanted to make up like a permanent residence to make up for the missing years the harsh off keepers a you talk game gamma sha Hvar the problem is if you really can't make up right he thought maybe this would make up also for the past maybe we could make up for the future but maybe even for the past and therefore he really thought leadership mashaallah to be able to dwell in a permanent peaceful way i'll came culture Allah Rajiv Shah Yosef therefore this anger of Yosef love to discuss what that means something related to Yosef some type of anger jumped like a bell Enosh gamma a yummy mashallah RV in the who body but no should occur sorrow in order to receive this punishment also for the days where he did not honor his father the son did not honor his father who happened to be the Eco sorrow we just got done saying a little does yakko Joseph Yosef is the prime progeny of yakou commits para hi-yah meme ha hey me Yakko built him the who bottom even oshiruko told her shallow therefore what's gonna happen and result Yakko zone the Sun is going to disappear from him for 22 years and that's why it says a lot others Yaakov Yosef ok and we will continue Marcia our house are all of rigs of rock socially Yosef we haven't really defined what this anger girls it is that was jumped the pod yeah that all of a sudden peep toe happened to yahko so the clear car asked what exactly is the language of coughs huh anybody with small kids at any time of their life knows they like feet see mama she's like a spring their mom is jumpy right jumpy especially because have ADHD anyway so maybe all kids are like that hi little amar you know what the Torah could have said ball the other or the Madras bully Yoda in Yana show yourself you know all of a sudden I didn't forget that I could I said all the Sun just came upon him the whole story of yours that would have been fine but we're talking about culture jumping and we're talking about rogas anger so we haven't so the next question is my Russian rock so what exactly is this language rogue is when we see kids and hopefully it's only kids in they're gonna learn not to do that again but they get mad they get angry they get upset with people so a lot money pays for how rogue is Leo Sethe first of all what's the culture and what's the roads and what is it related to Yosef why exactly is this anger relating to Yosef so the clea car is going to now explain from his point of view hakuro Vail I blow my biz F that the roguish on Yosef is the sin of Yosef look it's he had his own pack a lot to worry about Shem might have made it forget to get in touch with his father when he chained tonight we saw that when he named his son Menasha he admitted god caused me to forget but here we're talking about Joseph himself did a sin what was the sin of Yosef besides looking in the mirror too much for a guy there's laughing thing okay so I think I do have I don't want to jump too much in front but if you look at Genesis Sept 30 7 - I'm sorry yeah look at the last part of the verse and you also brought evil tales about them to his to their father so what are we talking about here I do believe that I have something underlined is that where it is I have a lot of the line here I let's just see some of this part of Rashi when you Jocko sought to dwell in tranquility the troubles of Yosef sprang upon him the righteous seek to dwell in tranquility and set the whole of SB what is prepared for the righteous the will to come is not sufficient for them but they seek also to dwell in tranquility in this world and in other words I prepared such a beautiful world for you why do you want to stay here why do you want that tranquility here it's not right that's from the ark that's from God's point of view and evil tells about them any evil Esau and his brothers such as the sons of Leahi would tell his father he would say the eight limbs from living animals now isn't that forbidden according to the seven Noahide laws ever since of knock when man was permitted to eat meat so ready for this everything that we're about to read he saw he saw from his own perspective and it wasn't right the way he slides meaning he didn't see it right he didn't see it correctly do you know that if you open up the womb of a pregnant animal like in other words you do a c-section while the mother is still alive and you Oh even if no even if you check the mother first let's say you check the mother let's be crude let's be humane yes and that's actually the whole ah so let's scratch everything I said so now about that so you check the mother and you open up the womb and you find the baby that baby does not need to be shacked it you can eat the limb so to speak off the live animal because it doesn't it to be shafted meaning you can kill it any way you want not that you're gonna cut some shop and be cruel but if you don't checked it the way we're required to share it it's not a problem it's not not kosher because it's considered already dead it's like a limb of its mother the mother has been killed you open up and you find the baby is alive the babies grow up and you can just shoot it in the head I'm just using this example I mean or let's say you checked it and it wasn't kosher reshef did something mistake one of the five things you're not supposed to do it's not traif it's kosher because it's already dead so anyway this is what he saw them do he didn't realize that it was that type of animal he saw them not kill it coccioli the word and he went ahead and he they the kids brothers ate from such an animal and he went back and told his dad that they're eating limbs from live animals they demean the sons of the handmaids by calling them slaves meaning the sons of Leah called the other brothers basically sons of slaves and he went back and told the told his father but I don't know the whole story here I have to apologize but the truth is even the Torah itself goes back and forth sometimes their wives sometimes their handmaids it's not consistent and they were suspect suspected of illicit sexual relations for these three tales he was punished he went back here it goes the report that his brothers eight limbs from living animals such as they slaughtered a kid Genesis 3:7 31 it wasn't a kid but it was a so therefore when they sold him measure from measure they did not eat it alive they saw him they also put the blood on his on this jacket okay now what about the report that he he told about them they called their brother slaves in the end he all said so in other words he talked about the eating the living off live animal and he ends up being let's say tossed out to the wall so to speak with this bloody garment here you have heaps he spoke about them calling the sons the other brothers slaves and himself within the sold as a slave and he spoke about their lifts possible illicit sexual relationships and who and then he's in the position where this woman is coming after him chasing after him for an illicit relationship okay so this was all was a call a gosh the gossip or or slander and that's what diba here means okay so let's go back into the text the clear card we called it the head CEO said some kind of sin I share bow here geez little heat which angered Hashem right the only thing that's gonna anger a sham is is is sin the measure hazy debuff some wrong he spoke evil about the brothers LLC extra Karim I am above him how the brothers called the other brothers slaves I'd show how I did no attention evident in creo safe until the end youngsters himself is salt as the slave and you can see this in Psalms 105 verse 17 where it says Joseph was sold as a slave what does it mean he he sent a man before him what does it mean he sent a man before him and God sent me before you now who is the man Joseph M Cain off em law in Yakima vocation lay shape a Shalva if you want to say if that's the case even if Yaakov had not sought a life of tranquility nevertheless he would have been punished anyway for the sin maybe this also helps us sir royal of all Yosef other types of punishment because he was a sinner so what she also been Sheva Esther Hashanah did you know this that a 17 year old is not punished from heaven in other words once a boy turns 13 a girl turns 12 and based in in this world he can be convicted if you have witnesses any sin that he did with their witnesses that's against another human being so then he will be responsible but what about sins between him and God God has mercy or I'll call puberty who are growing up whatever it is and we can understand it I mean all ourselves everyone here in this room has gone through adolescence right and that's a really tough time in life who are you where am I going a my righteous am I not gonna be righteous right every the choices that we have are really significant at that age could really change your whole direction for the rest of our lives correct okay so a ship has a lot of mercy and allows you to make those mistakes and won't hold you in heaven accountable so until you're 20 so Yosef was 17 so on one hand we know that he was 17 Lauria bar on Sheena dime of 8-inch Allah mala he's only going to be held accountable in this world but in the world in the upper world when it comes to judgment he is excused what say well is that a kiddush to a lot of people sitting here amazing the feesh Amit Kabir the Rob saw the setup show you're safe God must be kcia Yaakov the Azia Bishop so there's going to be a connection this is like a piece of Gomorrah here he needed both aspects here what does it mean that there's the rope as the anger somehow connected we're told that Yaakov the anger that somehow is connected with Yosef and his own sin of Yosef for the fact connecting it to Yoshi ACOs and read requests to have a life of peace what does that mean I've gained media shed that's why the word Cox is used there's this immediacy there's this quickness that also lyosha for a machine code limbs mono that even though yosef should not have been punished because he was only 17 god I think they call this like in America if let's say you're at less than 18 and you do a crime that only like an 18 year old all the clothing can be certified as an adult right you can see really like 16 years old and you did such a horrible crime that they have given it's not the first time maybe you'd have a whole record and they they certify you as and thought so too here he was gonna be certified adult if Hashem signs he quickly up the age so to speak or less than the age in this case as a borough chena as a person who's now punishable before his time and that's what it means cos Olaf that God sprang upon Yosef even though you elsif really should have been punished at 17 he's gonna he did something will see that he deserved his punishment he cooked eats and lawyer Aldabra Cerullo should really love all of copán even my hair level condoms mono that's what it means to jump to jump ahead right it reflects to teach us something it's fitting to come but nevertheless it comes quickly cos if it's a Shem now how the Irish are Yosef therefore we saw that God really desired to bring this punishment to Yosef before its time contain Lavater yeshiva show y'all go do the combination he was saving the Jewish people from such hardships from right that's why he caused Yakko had sought the that Yaakov had sought this Shalva the the peace and of course we know the results from that would have been disastrous for us as well the harbour garma so both it was both Yakko st. Joseph's in and yakko's together keep I'm gonna show you live on speak the the actions of Joseph were not enough to bring this on but with the combination of what how it was gonna benefit all Jewish people much later the combination really did as good kilo hiya Barocci memory wasn't twenty who you see Vitosha Yaakov LaVon and even the solvate the the tranquility of the ocean of Yaakov was not enough either God came along y'all speak about how the above or is that under show yourself show hey so now we understand why it's called the roguish ano Stephanie's because it's the anger of the sin thing the onus was jumped and it ended up reflecting yah Yaakov himself Rashi made the Michelle Rashi brings an analogy Lamarr galician off live in a home now it's a very long Rashi the main point is at the end but I'll try to go through it quite quickly when it says in the beginning of the partially Yaakov settled in the land that his father so joined so what was talked about before ASA but very little spoken about a sob it's like you quickly went over it as if it wasn't very important hey it's not just a sob that's not very important you see all the generations Adam all the way to North and then North was spoken by a little bit and then there's almost a rush to Abraham so let's what he says says after scripture has written for you in the settings the settings of a slob and his offspring in a very concise manner very short Derek kisara for they were not treasured by God or held in esteem so we didn't need to explain too much except where they said or just to give a short account of their battles we don't we there would be or how they dispossessed the whole right but you know what the total goes out of its way to explain to the settlings of Yaakov and his offspring in a very lengthy manner all the terms of events she was Klaus then for Yaakov and his children are very important before a share to do a length about them similar you'll find regarding the ten generations from adding Adam to north and so on as scripture dwelt and left God about him that not similarly regarding the ten generations from North to Abraham scripture was very brief about them but once it got the Abraham it went at length now ready this is the Michelle did he wanted us to hear this can be compared to a pearl that fell into the sand you ever be at the beach and you lost I don't know God forbid something valuable so the person feels around the sand he might get a sifter sieve cyst in the sift there until he finds the pearl and once he finds it what does he do throws all the rest of the pebbles away they're not they don't mean anything to you but he takes the probe and that's that is now there's a an alternative Mashal and I think it's worth going through and what does it mean Jacob settled so let's say there was a certain flax merchant when cat where whose camels entered the town laid it with flax so the blacksmith wondered where can all this flax be stored the flax is very flammable apparently there was a clever fell out with said to him one spark can go forth from your bellows which will burn it all up so to Yaakov saw all the Chieftains of Asaph whose names written about meaning just previously the page before and he wondered who could conquer who could conquer all of them he wondered and said who can conquer all of them what is written further about the Chieftains of a Slav Veet nothing these are the offspring of Jacob and right away Yosef and what do we know and we read it when in Obadiah last Shabbos right the whole book the whole prophecy of Obadiah who by the way is the only prophet who is a convert himself all prophets our sons of prophets okay Obadiah twas the only Kandra anyway it says here in Obadiah that the house of Jacob shall be like fire and the house of Joseph aflame and what do we know about the house of a South he will be like that straw that will go up in flame a spark shall go forth from yo safe which will annihilate and burn up all of them okay so we're basically saying good bye bye to a son now the truth is not all negative properties have prophecies have to happen we believe that there will be remnant Christians who who amongst a sloth will do to the right we know that the Torah tells us that Ishmael himself did chuhwa so many masses the masses of the Islam i'ts Ishmaelites are probably gonna do Trueba but who amongst the wrong the Western civilization is going to do true so that's where free will comes that's up to you okay so here we are at the last paragraph we read the Michelle and it's him she obeys a South the home base Yaakov Ellen margulies okay we've read that already now interestingly enough when it comes to a South it says that what there were six souls in his family six persons and yet if you look in chapter 36 verse 6 which if you look in note number 6 I mentioned before it says all the people of this household but look in the Hebrew it says called nefesh of all the peoples of his household the word nephesh shown is plural when it comes to Israel to Yaakov it calls him sieving nefesh 70 soul that's a little weird right 70 sauce it reminds me now let the street throw the clean cars take and then I'll tell you what I want to say so when it comes to a South Korea Muslim the fuch shops calls themselves lush and Robbie latisha are you theme played a heist hard bein cuz they're serving many gods therefore they're many souls however when it comes to Yaakov even if I chose Aiello but the verse in Exodus chapter 1 verse off first one its first live since curly some nefesh seventy soul so I'm gonna tell you it was a famous story a heretic comes to one of the sages of the Gemara and he says is it not written that your Torah that you're supposed to follow the majority the majority rules we all know that when the Sanhedrin sits down there's an uneven amount right with industry in this regular based in 23 or 71 in the ultimate the highest court that we go after the majority okay we follow the majority the Torah tells us follow the majority follow the majority of the rabbi's okay to follow the majority so he asked if that's the case you have Christianity you have Islam yeah Buddhism you got what else you got Hinduism I don't know bunch of other religions out there they're bigger than you right why don't you follow the majority why do you follow your tour your tour itself says follow the majority you're not following your own Torah how would you answer it so the sage answers and says here you might have set six souls over there in a South right they all have a different God they all have a different religion you know within Christianity if like 80,000 denominations and then out of those 80,000 denominations you got subcat subgroups yeah when it comes to the Jews that's why it's all the fallacy there's no such thing as reform conservative and Orthodox there's no such thing there's just Jews and any believing Jew they all even the NAM believe they all know that the door is true right they all know if you ask them okay I'm not talking about the really good evil ones not the majority of Jews they all know there's 613 commandments is just one Torah right then we came out of Egypt right they know that they have their own challenges with God right but they all know there's only one religion really it's not so anyway when we talk about following majority sixteen million of one group we're all brothers were all blood we're all one so it's only one religion and then you look at the Christians say oh there's 1.2 1.5 or whatever a billion no this is like almost like 1.5 billion different religions everyone's got their own God don't whatever a little statute and whatnot okay so that reminds me of that I wanted to mention that so here he says when it comes to Yaakov it's called nephesh one saw old Israel's once all the fish are using laylat hard we're only serving one God odd Kamla Sharla that's the end of the metric I'll be touching anything those are bay from the fact that they serve many gods all came to Abraham Tommy Dahmer Eva that's why you find amongst them so many different groups that could don't get along vein of Ahaz comma us they don't have one agreement there's any different types of Christianity meet sorry boy had adult from the many different subgroups of religions vena myth with no said word with a Hadean myth Sabri they're not unified nor are they connected to call just like the mushroom said like the sand and the pebbles then it's not one clump you know anything could holds this shaming with copies of Lisette the sand does not all connect to each other I guess maybe if lightning strikes right okay I thought you share when it comes to Jewish people it's not your evening well it has the very fact that we all serve only one God hi Charlemont avec then am ultimately there's peace amongst us rahein become our goliad's haha ruling buffoons it's like when you think about the pearls that are on a stretched string pearls if you do it right my mother was a jeweler you hear this not mentioning you you have a knot between each one of the pearls they if god forbid it came off they wouldn't lose all the pearls all right that's how it should be done right so here here's what the Jewish people are like a necklace a thread of girls should boo teams Eben's their i eat their food she macabre and we're all connected through one hood we're all mamas do you know that every time I do a mitzvah you get credit right we're all this together and God forbid every time someone does a sin we all are held responsible okay and I want to go even further maybe you heard this before you we've talked about this when a Jew has in mind to do Mitzvah and doesn't do it for some reason the car broke down or something else came up he wanted to do it something prevented from doing its credit did you know that now wait till you hear this the Jew who's not religious and doesn't even have qivana to do mitzvahs but does them maybe out of rope maybe out a habit maybe even for selfish reasons he wants to give to have his name on a building his Mitzvah it's a mitzvah but he doesn't get he's almost behind in credit because he didn't have in mind but this other Jew who wanted to do but didn't have the money he gives whatever money he can't and I'm sorry he doesn't have the money see he wants to do it and gets credit for not doing it because he didn't have the money to do it it's combined is connected with the Jew the secular Jew who had the money and didn't have the right come on it together we're all this together all gonna benefit you heard this before unbelief antastic idea and that's where I want to end on this piece he brings down song of songs Kahoot ishani shifter tires right about the sincerity of your lips if de da sanatorium are being shown by olam the more we speak Torah the more were involved in Torah the more we increase peace in the world has a hoot that is streamed with pearls now with this before we start part two I want to mention for those who have had enough we love you kitty it's never enough that we just wish you a shabbat shalom we welcome you to torah and we ask you at this point to subscribe to this YouTube channel and notification belt so that when new videos come up you will be notified and with that we will now proceed with part 2 okay welcome to home to tour at the even a baby Josh it's almost Chanukah so we are going to deal with some aspects of the clea cars explanation on parsha Bajal osaka which you can find in the numbers chapter 8 in the very beginning it says below scenarios on whooping a Hammond aura right speak to our and say to him when you like the lamps the seven lamps are when you like the lamps the seven lamps of cast elect where the faces of the Vanara so in hebrew da bear lr on the immortal i love mahalo Sahab as Han arrows Almunia menorah Jerusha Hasan arrows now let me explain the verse a little bit in the context of what the clear card is going to enlighten us with the word below sofa is a language of alia going upwards but it's not a command so we have to face the fact that it's not a command and what does it mean towards the face of the menorah what does it mean the face of the menorah if you of the menorah here and the lights are on top how could it be towards the face of the menorah and it says your ear ooh now you yo is also not a command but you would think it would be that you shall make them seven candles that will illuminate now if the command is on candles candles cannot be command right inanimate objects cannot be commanded so we'll have to deal with that and something else just for the context is this parsha bellows aha immediately follows what just turn the pages back in partials not so you have what we call new cos Hammad's bay off would you hear the word dedication of the altar the dedication the altar was performed by whom by the twelve tribes by the leaders of the twelve tribes they were giving gifts to whom to Hashem so to speak they were making offerings and breeki bringing gifts towards the temple okay for what has appreciation for the altar why we're only twelve how many tribes do we have we have 13 tribes it depends how you count them correct if you count yo safe and lay the the F 12 tribes but if you count don't count yo safe count Menasha and the Friant who were elevated they were elevated by a Shannon yahuwah spell to elevate them to the level of tribes so if you count lay thee admin Aashna fryin you have 13 tribes so usually they count minashi no Fryman not leaving where they count Yosef and they count baby we usually end up with twelve tribes being counted but reality there are 13 tribes right with that in mind which tribe did not bring any offerings to the ha new class on his bail the tribe of lazy ie the county right the curvature part of the tribal lately so our own is like the prince here right he's from the tribe of lady who got elevated to the level of the high priest so he's representing them on a certain level as the other Prince's are bringing of bringing things okay he's not the actual Prince but nevertheless he has a feeling of neglect perhaps what would you say all the tribes are bringing and he's the high priest who does most of the work in the temple and he's not bringing anything so he's a little let's I'm gonna think of the word despondent down confused and God says I got something better for you now this would sound very strange when I'm about to tell you how is God going to lift his spirits he's gonna say I got something better what's better than kimonos do you know that the lighting of the menorah is of greater value on some level okay then the car bundles are you surprised I'm saying this you can't wait to hear the answer okay I'll give you a little hint when the base on Nick - not for bid was destroyed so you don't have cubanos but you don't have the menorah - do you do you know we don't have the menorah of the base of McNish but there's another menorah that we do have okay with that in mind let's go and sink our teeth into the Fiat car so we just read the first verse and hookshot l humma forcing that many of the commentators yes may I - a menorah hiding near him say e if we you were the best when we discussed this sorry what exactly does it mean helpin a humma Nora so Rashi tells us it's the near imc what do you mean so if the mayor of EMSA is where all the lights have to be facing how many lights are facing the near ham c63 on each side facing the middle facing the facing to face right towards the menorah towards the middle of the Vanara in cane high Allah Lamar you che Chaisson arrows if that's the case Rashi clearly says it's the M saying look at will we see in Rashi it's in the middle on page 1 right in number 2 Rashi on the verse that toward the faces and March with the middle lamp which is not one of the branches but on the menorah itself so it is okay so I she should be no bullish me so what it should have said was six why does it take seven right the verse says seven lamps shall cast a light toward the face of the door guys everyone with me something's wrong here in the text this is like we can't go to sleep tonight correct until we figure this all out if it's towards the faithful nor which is the middle and then surely the Torah should have said six towards the middle right the middle lamp is the face why does it say seven don't worry we're gonna answer tonight this right - sure the omiai me now I'm gonna kind of skip through this next line show my Marv Albert open a menorah koi mashallah mala location meaning he's claiming at this point that if it says for the fact that it says towards the face of the menorah it's going on something that was said previously and then there shouldn't be any problem at all and now we're going to investigate what that means Shalom is Edom it bugs that shoots evilly it's you look at this verse carefully there is no command it says when you light the lamps it doesn't say you shall like the lamps he says sure a low Walmart oddly came out our lane those would be command forms when you ignite or when you raise up now move in a manner it doesn't it says melosa feh when you are raising the money they're gone earu even the word shall illuminate a notes avoid we're talk about the candle shall illuminate it's not a command either keep agency verlan arrows you can't command a non animate object correct and furthermore what does it mean in the verse what it says so we didn't read the whole verse we would read that verse but the next verse says look at number four in the sushi it says numbers eight chapter eight chapter eight verse three Iram did so why does it have to tell me the yosik a narrow why would we ever think that Aaron wouldn't do what God says to do Myra boo say what is it coming to add onigumo who making davao chef who's like Aaron who's like this guy who would fulfill the Word of God he would jump a million miles just tell me how high this guy follows the Word of God like like meticulously right why would we think anything different my sheaf kosha low chignon where i'd be praising him for not changing the Word of God so he did exactly like God said first of all it wasn't even commanded maybe that's when you part of the answer and that wasn't the commandment he did it Mihal it takes he's Shoshanna where would we ever have thought that he would have changed the Word of God sheila reticles Buraku maharaj lalalaura sorry this is gonna be very important this is gonna be a common theme god did not ask us to put a menorah inside the tent of meeting into the temple for lights we don't need light we talked about this before the the place of the McNish light itself emanates from there whenever we talk about the windows the windows in the normal building a human you know people build buildings then they have thick walls they wanna they want to draw the light in and the windows would extend in on the inside much wider and on the outside a little bit now in the base of Nick - they started out narrow and went out because light emanated from this place as we talked about a few weeks ago with the dream of Yaakov and the setting of the Sun two hours early because he was in a place was so light that when the Sun goes over the Sun dims okay we're talking that a spiritual light okay so furthermore it's very important to teach us the haroche alone the oral sorry it's not for the sake of life meet tom is an utter shame she is new cool Amulya menorah and it's for this very reason instead of pointing outwards if you have a candelabra memory of wicks if you point the wicks out that would illuminate the room but if all the wigs are towards the center that's going to be less light emanating so if you wanted everyone to know it's not from light I don't need light this light I emanate the light not the monoi there's going to be a very important lesson lahood see me lay that tight there are gonna be people out there who will make mistakes like this okay about Miko Malcolm Laura Tilda chavos how's that nevertheless there's no command God did not actually command what she she got Lee Caine Mutiny menara it's not a command that they should be lit facing the middle kilo youtubers at each show get up se the only person that will make a mistake I did not make the command because why make a command for stupid and ignorant and foolish people the theme if Manish I teams shall kill collude Sabha Mitzvah party out for stupid and simple people you need to make a command amar Hashem Dara Haddad but rather God only informed us he just wanted to let us know something very simple by what saying hidden a mo da ha me Rashid Navarre accurate amar from the you only understand what I mean when you hear I can tell you in the beginning and you understand the end it says in the beginning Baumeister how when you like these narrows these candles there going to end up being towards the face of an arm meaning towards the middle kiba's log10 bottom the time Mateus says the measure says so that people will not make this mistake with a mistake of thinking that it's necessary for life an ESS out that God says even I just like you're gonna do this I'm also going to do this what am I gonna do she knew she was sending us a Allah I am going to cause these seven candles to light forever what seven candles are we talking about yeah blue Rob sure you look the fun night Tommy they will never be extinguished and they will be before me always says Michelle McLain Tichenor love now in furtiveness there is a negative commandment one of the 613 commandments she looked hollow some wolf named an IRA which is you're not supposed to put them out now if it didn't go up if the mix were not placed to the middle so what you're doing is you're allowing muffled Italian mama you're allowing people to make a mistake that they're gonna think it was for the light as low arou Klaus Shiva scenarios then God in return this is a very subtle point God is asking us to make sure that everyone knows that it's not for physical light that you have the menorah but it's for spiritual light and I God will in turn repay you with a spiritual light with the menorah that will last forever and I'm the urban abayas that when the destruction whether there is no longer a temple named Chicago yoson in the UH no shell longing you belong it's here zeevala rob that God forbid right when there's no temple that you will not have that in whatever bit let's say like this Chicago the building did the baby I know in the temple that's not no longer there they will not be there will not be a light than an illumination and there won't be any shine of their lights gamle God Allah ha lung yet it sounds like he's saying also I nor you nothing would be but guess what thus we both Irish that is Nathan and the system to explain this look at what the Metro says SHINee's new Han arrows lejano classless mask what did I do in the introduction I mentioned this precious bellows AHA follows immediately after the dedication of the altar the fisherman's tired our own our own experience some uncomfortability some despondence I shall know how Yamaha Lucas on his back by the fact that he did not participate in bringing gifts I'm a licorice bar who doing let me zoom out humble fund I got something better in store for you prepared for you her Cabela's Anand kimba's Mancha bass HaMikdash Cayenne when it comes to actual offerings to Hashem these will only be when there's a base of Nick - standing venero same layer lung but these candles will be forever as it says he'll move p'nay a menorah Arusha Vasa narrows against the middle let's just say the wicks are going to girth toward the middle shall illuminate seven narrows we already know that doesn't make any sense there's only six that are gonna three on each side yet the words are the seven will be illuminated so look at the yoku no soft measures then he says look right and left sorry look right and see the hey beat the amiga ring my mosh mosh an arrow same lay alive me puss exact how did you see in this verse we're talking about Hanukkah if we're if we're gonna be leaving at the Hanukkah it's a rabbinic holiday where is this is the Torah this is that a book of prophecy I have to admit it's a book of prophecy but it's the Torah where do you have your benek I'm gonna tell you a secret every rabbinic dictum everyone is based on some ass master some remnants some hint in the Torah okay you don't find even the doors where do you see the book of Esther where do you see Hamid where do you see fortified right where do you sweetie that's what the guimard goes through how do you know this is what God really wants the rabbi's to said Hendron they came and they said some decree some fascinating Gazzara but there's always an a' semester there's always something to rely on and lean on so - we're gonna have here and set to find my place here we are so where does it infer that these candles will be forever from this verse so elevado's Shabab mad ruzek have another fire surplus example in this way shame Tala Osamu phenomena that it's you the carne if you do what I just said to do that if you end up putting letting them go up lighting the candles towards the middle as yes so she you shoot the sinners they all love off this man of Hortman then I God will turn around Mead measure for measure and I will make sure those seven candles would be forever even when the temple is no longer standing and the ROM bond asked the question on this meddra SH behold at the time of the carbonyl Tsar bottle right when the temples destroyed God - petaling at least the nearest I'm talking about the base of Mick - they're no longer I came parish therefore the ROM bond sesh on their Scotchmen I we're talking about the the Maccabees the the candles Hoover knob and their sons that would that's we're talking about the costly of our off the clean car has a problem with that and what's his problem he says also the merits of the car and I very nice the beginning is middle the second temple period you had the fashion ie but guess what it took what it was that's the Michaela big douche name God in the beginning you had neither you had neither cup on us meaning before the high school I even when the Greeks took over and you had no pure temple you had no cubanos and you had no candles so there's a time we had neither the kimonos and the nearest were both not being implemented the cashier north of the shaft up but when peace came where the words had slide down Sherlock left low Ryan been a fisherman oi of the mouth and you're able to take proof from the maccabees and there's their son she a co2 condition the narrows me become on us then actually you could say that there was more holiness in the candles than the kimonos why why because when they returned they returned with a miracle which one's the candles there was no miracle by the campanos when we entered then we found the pot chemin that had this color seal and it was enough to last eight days it was only enough to last one day but yet yesterday days that's when we called miracle and so we came in and read that I came to the temple there was a miracle that occurred but the key with the oil but there was no miracle that occur with the kavadis so that's the first proof I read it again sherry because our Tom Donna says Schumann a speaker Panos will the narrows NOS inmates of King people are on time coming therefore we're talking about now at the time of the original dedication I are on receives some type of comfort I love the Sun arrows because God told them daenerys are more special than the Kabbalah she could know the minute kimonos they're greater and what it says the cubanos a non kimba's mon base Invictus kaya that the Kerberos the offerings are only going to exist when you have a town the Vanaras lay island but the candles would be forever this is what God told him and he was comforting Peru show how Kerberos when it comes to the offerings are fish I am H Minister my even though fire came down from heaven in the first step in the second temple fire did come down from but didn't reach the ground there were ten open miracles in the first temple and five of them were missing in the set second temple Hyun a snig Lu who must meet so the first temple you had an open and reveai sensations temple talk about the the Michigan as well that this was a completely open revelatory and constant miracle makka makka wash nicaragua bias arisia nevertheless after the first temple was destroyed shoe blow yard ish the age did not descend all the way keeper by Shamy hostel commission Davari we know our more Yuma 21 MB that describes that the difference between the first temple in the second temple and one of the differences was the fire coming down from heaven for burning up on the altar the kobato's have a caduceus huh narrows but the holiness so there was a big difference when it came to the kimonos the fire didn't come directly from heaven and burn up the kimonos but when it came to the candles the holy mystic candles was never removed lo Sora Lella efficient nectar of a biased on line even though the temple was destroyed twice I has been magnificent that said the first day summit - by this Babylonian Nebuchadnezzar the Ava's beyond Taunton office and the Greek general Antiochus macabre calm nastiness Banaras nevertheless during the

God that God needs light he mail it going the caduceus and near us on the Assessors know it's the other way around God says like this for the greatness of the holiness of the candles um because you did it right I am going to you earu I am going to make sure that there's this illumination of seven candles forever even at the time that watch Lydia bamke mahalik near hot even at a time that you only have enough world to like one candle I am going to make sure that seven additional campus of it he may al saud hi Mase by way of miracle on the accession uru call Shiva Samaras when they clash monoi I'm going to make sure that all seven candles will be lit or seven days additional days will be lit by the time of the Maccabees this is a grown-up lawyer sooth meet open Israel and then a remembrance the Harshman ie the Hasmoneans their remembrance will never be forgotten by the Jewish people forever ludora duros about in little m open a menorah that if you the jewish people at the time we have the Mishkan on the tabernacle and the temple if you don't do as i'm suggesting by pushing them the wicks towards the middle as look you lil up then I will not even return bring their this eternal remembrance kilo and said may have me seen I'm before something and I'm not going to create this wonderful full-blown public miracle conditional use the muhkam the cosmic to some Loma now in order that the people who make these mistakes of thinking that God needs the light in order they won't say Bob or Schiller ooh sorry remember that's their plane it's all because God needs the light no I came who I used to be nice him before Sun yo Timmy Kerberos this is if God wants us to know we're gonna light the candles eight nights right eight nights and what is the idea it's so deep so many deep ideas this is one little idea God is the light of the world okay we're going to talk about the soul of man is the lamp of God okay we're gonna talk about this surely I want you to know God is like the best general right you think about the general goes out to war he never leaves anybody behind God does not leave any Jew behind we talk about a pintle again it means the spark within every one of us I want you to know when it comes to a lot of a hollow halt of Hanukkah we have a mezuzah on the right side we put where the hana kia on the left side of the doorway the left is inferior right the right is mercy the left is dead we think of the left as being inferior okay not only that it's 10th Buffy mind says that God doesn't even go down 10th right wherever there's different reshoots different domains he doesn't go down less than 10 to 14 yet we put our menorah exactly on the line okay truth is between three and ten less than three two it's already connected to the ground and there's no hope that's as far as you can go Hashem does leave anybody behind and I'll lift you up he'll take that spark that is what the most inferior of wicks and oils when it comes to Shabbos you have to use the best because God forbid you're reading by them which you're not supposed to and it starts flickering so you might move the oil lamp you're not allowed to ignite a fire on Shabbat right it says clearly in the Torah well though it's only one of the 39 other maluf oh you're not a lad ignite a fire so you're reading by the lamp and it starts flickering and you don't want to mess up so you know with reading so you know how you go I mess up even worse with moving the lamp so that way the wick can catch more oil so you tilt it well you just violated a major commandment in the Torah so they say when it comes to Shabbos use the best weeks the best oils so you don't come to make this kind of mist Sharman on Pell Hanukkah of course it's preferred to use olive oil but when it comes to wicks any wick will do and the truth is any oil will do okay so why is it by Hanukkah because God is telling you in the darkest moments right this is beginning of the second type of period we're going to be losing prophecy we'd had just lost prophecy this is it we're going into a dark dark abyss right so we're going to be six perience ngorogoro which we're still until this day right it's been two thousand years when are we going to come out of it right so God gave us light in that darkness it's amazing even the most secular unaffiliated Jews what do they still keep for some reason they light the Chanukah candles they might not fast on Yom Kippur they might not hear the chauffeur on Russia shutter they might not even take a loo love retro or even sit the sucker right they might not stay up and learn all night on shoot us they might not even keep Shabbat I don't know they might even need in my kosher restaurant on daily basis I have no idea but I know one thing somehow or another they're still lighting the Chanukah candles they're still keeping that spark alive even when that spark is in the darkest most inferior faraway niches somehow another this is what God promised I'm not going to forget you I'm not to leave anybody behind even the most inferior okay so what does he say well according to this aim positive Z Shoop Savoy there's not even a commandment Allah ho dust of our aim it's purely just informational that's why it says Lee shift crucial Aaron that Aaron did exactly what God commanded for some cotton come in but it says I'm Aaron did exactly God shared see Basha to tell you ki Lucy Basha it was as if God commanded Moses explicitly a lizard with rocky loons table he was careful he wasn't commanded but he did it as if he was commanded do you understand God did not there's no command in this verse and yet he did it as if he was commanded the africa north of town man i can bully em to lose them and afterwards he actually gives a reason from where you can come to this mistake remember the mistake we kept saying that you think it's god means the light it says this is the mass a menorah this is helped to produce the menorah how'd the the menorah is made Kiko clean Michigan Nasu are you there dub Oh but Sol L right oh he was the Head Master Craftsmen all the vessels were made by whom by man was there any vessel not made by man the menorah the menorah itself was not made by man who made the menorah hoots minima nourish us Turkish bar who biast Latifah Ava's Moses had no idea how am I supposed to make this from one block of metal so the verse says commercia Hara Shem is Moshe Kano so where do we see that in the text here I think you'll find it and it's number eight it's numbers chapter 8 verse 4 this was the form of the nura hammered work of gold from its base to its flour was hammered work according to the form that the Lord had shown Moses God showed him how is done yeah then it says so did he construct him Inara I have a small H II why did why does it have to be why do you have to read this small H II Kamara share here'sh m/s Moshe came also s menorah why does it have to be that Moses made them that it's the way God showed Moses he Hashem made them another okay you have that J you see how to read it now look at the words again just so everyone's clear according to the form that the Lord had shown Moses , so did capital H II so he cash M constructed the menorah look at Rashi according to the form of literature Critias I had shot him with a mountain now you see and make according to the pattern so did he construct the menorah the one who made it namely bits Allah that's one opinion they've got it Midrash states that it was made by itself through the Holy One blessed be he two ways to read it he made it pasha shot and what is the mattress day Hashem made it going with that opinion meaning to say could is borrow who I saw God made it Makani also muhkam the telling lomar this is certainly gonna get rid of the ideas of anybody making the mistake jealous half a circle is mark of the odds no Leticia in Lahore oh who taught what God made the menorah himself for life he needed lights he made a menorah right that's the most ridiculous thing alkane Hiram Missouri is my hollows you know Sam movin a menorah Lavar tell to lose that therefore our himself went out of his way to like the menorah woods mean IRA went out of his way God says you wore your sons but we seen that Ireland did it he saw how hush if it was so he went ahead did himself that's we're about to read boom ah eh ah me Masha she Bacchus Irish machinae why does the tell us that I rode went out of his way right it says that it was praising our him that he did such a thing Lathika - Morocco I'm er he'll move been a menorah he Yahshua scenarios remember the verse says towards the middle lamb that's where the seven light shall shine the low hip Eid al haha law should they move in a menorah he wasn't let's assume he wasn't being so careful about raising up the actual lamp we'll see what raising up means came ala Harrell Avadh his pitch that they move anymore it was just the the mentioned the the warning allowed that he was careful about doing it with the wicks let's say the low hit feet Allah there's like two instructions one is that the wick should be to the middle and the other is that the light you light it until comes up by itself are enticing to also feel hollow move to Navin R so arrow didn't only put it towards the middle but he was also careful to make sure the light goes up by itself which is another interesting idea because we're talking about the soul of man right the soul of man is the lamp of God what is the the what does the flame do it's always wanting to be trying higher and I really believe this is why people make so many mistakes in life okay they end up on drugs on alcohol gambling overeating messed up relationships because we're really sure if the stars we want perfection we want to go higher and higher but we need the tools if we're missing the tools we get very frustrated and we want to take shortcuts okay we see every way we're going is somehow not getting us we want to be so we're looking for shorter cuts right but if we had the tools they bring us to the heights really having one foot in the world to come and one foot in this world then we we have the tools we use them we'll get there as they much quicker as they say the longer road is the shorter Road and and that's what it means over here too much I'll move today a menorah hold on there so the verse actually says towards the middle he did raise up the candles and now we're on the end stretch and it says like this it's very possible to explain that the the what's the word the praise that was loaded onto our own was because in verse 26 chapter 26 in Exodus verse 21 it says Europa told our own roof enough who is supposed to arrange it Iren in the sun's mccomber company's Diaries who Levada be mitzvah nevertheless I run ran to do a mitzvah we never should pass up a mitzvah this becomes your hand and what happens the word midst and matzah are very much related it's math amis if you delay like if you like the matzah you're making not to delay the matzah becomes comments so - when you delay a mitzvah it also ruins in ferments and it's not very pleasing but when you miss Diaries when you're furbished to do it and here he had a choice he could have done it her son school did it did it done it and he did himself see yaa seqenenre Aaron did it aren't funded if he's sure a book caduceus era he saw the sanctity of this the artist could his birth would be optimal also calm war you know how he learned a lesson he saw God himself make the menorah if God Himself made the menorah how holy can this be and I'm gonna do it also I got the truth my son's could do another do it I'm gonna do it just like huh the chef himself made the menorah so too Aaron decided this is we follow a chef we act like he does outside her emma is going deeper now moved in a menorah when it says against the face of the menorah this is a colorful we said there are three - the middle and the middle is the face of the Nara but it says all seven lights because you know why now there's a mock locust whether the menorah is facing east and west or north and south but in the in the far east of the base of mikdash so that's where you had the Holy of Holies okay so if it doesn't matter which way it's facing north to north and south or east or west except for the middle wick so if they're all facing towards the middle and it's north and south so the middle wick is gonna face so they're all facing towards the middle and the middle one is facing towards God when I say facing towards God I'm talking benefi metaphysically we're talking about facing the Holy of Holies if it was east and west it's a little bit more difficult so you're talking about they were law still the the three while the east were facing to the middle the three on the western face is in the middle but the middle one was facing to the base oh my gosh to the Holy of Holies okay there's no other ways to describe it but he says like this that when it says towards the face of the menorah Toma that's God himself he's the or Oh shall I love he is the light of the world you yoshua scenarios and you shall illuminate it shall illuminate the seven candles he called Haqqani each one of the branches how you moral economy meaning the other six branches we're all facing the middle branch food poem or latina Shiva Mara and the middle branch somehow whether it was north and south east or west those faced the direction of the Sheena the Divine Presence which is in the West in Kingdom Aquila Kula plenty of blue - a menorah hot Sahara meaning it's as if they were all facing towards the great holy candelabra I'm talking about a Shem himself I shed me memories brought or yolks a little on anything because that's where all light in this world illuminates from Hashem himself for the last few senses who the car hour from the very fact that it says the hellos aha it doesn't say to light it says when you raise up the word Allah is the roots its alia that you leak odd you think I've had this I'll email out that you light it to the point that it goes up when its own in other words you hold the candle there just for a little bit to assist it and it's already when the when the the fire grabs hold the wick grabs hold it to fire and it's going to go off on its own you hope it there for just a few extra seconds cause I'll tell us your menorah not sendmail now so - we just read the the actual candelabra was made on its own meaning God made it but it through the block of metal gold into the fire and it came out produced so my face gonna shish bar retinas on there Elohim dish Masada this is the greatest proof as we'll see and if you think on one of the last sources its Psalms that Psalms 20 verse 27 that man soul is the Lord's lamp you hear this verse which searches have all the innermost parts so Allah he la mala Mela ha that it always wants to rise higher and higher that's the soul of man in a low moan name it's not a vonage the only thing that holds us back from reaching the heights is our own sins that's it there's nothing in the way of you totally communing and connecting with a Shem except for your poor choices and it's sins the Hamas a sham the menorah itself was and not just a menorah the lamp of God your soul your soul is a product of God we say the Holy Trinity in Judaism is us each each person is made up of three partners your mom your dad and it could okay well this source she's the very earth on the back I have my favorites outline here the word atom is olive dollar men the gamma is 45 our leaf is $1 for and mem is 40 so you have that's the whole man so you have the father which is off I love bet is three then you have mom it's aim that's all of them it's 44 so you have 40 what we have here I'm sorry it's 41 I made a mistake so aim is 41 Bob is three you got 44 let me have the olive the olive represents God so you have the are three you have the aim 41 and you have an olive which regiment represents God God because he's aloof because he is the leader the master that's what aloof means olive means and not only that the olive is made up of above and two years that's the hamachi of 26 of course 26 is you'd hey and above hey okay so and I think we're in there nope is one more line and so these are the three partners in man we already explained this before parsha Struma and this is all proper that i explained and he says this is the semi-closed tata narrows neots mom lomasa mara this is why there's going to be a connection between the going up of the flame of the candles by themselves to the going up of the creation of the menorah itself because God made it on its own Keegan he - Massa chef both the soul the flame of God is and that is God created as it says que nos aw s menorah don't read it as he with a small H E but he has a capital H see God made the menorah just like he made your soul like a - bar who I saw and with I wish everyone Africa Hanukkah how to submit a real time to reflect on the these 36 lights because there are going to be 36 36 significant is not the chef we'll talk about that next Thursday [Music]
