Shalom everyone Friday Shabbat KES I wanted to give you some updates some important information before Shabbat and some words of wisdom from our Torah from the parasha that should carry with us to this Shabbat and hopefully we can H take advantage of this wonderful opportunity that we have now both a wonderful Shabbat and the 23rd day of sh Sian both together so first of all for some updates the for so many for some people who asked the website at.org c23 everything is updated there the prayers the order what you need to do and we added also downloaded PDF both for English and for Hebrew you can download download both uh if you have books at home uh and you don't need to download all the papers you just need to download the first page which is just instructions but if you don't have a books at home or you just want it organized download the whole PDF it has one in Hebrew one in English everything is updated on the website and you're all ready to go uh there's some instructions there to do before Shabbat it says there that one should give a charity with three coins H the way it should be done cuz some people are asking it doesn't that coins don't have to be from the same amount it just has to be three coins that you hold with both your hands and the significance of holding it with both hands is that the right hand which is kindness should pull the left which is judgments into an act of kindness as I was explaining in the previous video about the letter that everything evil is coming out from the letter and the remedy the the counteractive is to do to do kindness so we taking with our right hand the left side which is G and den judgments and severity and we're pulling it into the side of you do that with three coins the three coins don't have to be the same and it doesn't matter the currency it's just for the ACT and this is already something cabalistic it's we just follow what our sages explain to us uh more than that make sure that you light the candles before Shabbat the charity before Shabbat everything that you need to do do before Shabbat we changed also on the page we do not say aen on Shabbat we added theim that needs to be recited but everything is updated on that page at.org cant23 and please make sure that you are sharing it sharing share with everyone that you can more important after I asked my rabby he told me that better to go to the locations to the grave sites on M Shabbat not on Friday so I've been there already yesterday I've prayed a lot read a lot of a lot of Torah we prayed there it was amazing and I'm going to be returning there after Shabbat so if you still want to submit names go ahead and submit names if you want to submit donations the donations on that page they all go to people who men who learn Torah and 99% of them are poor so they learn Torah they don't they don't have ways to provide food and it's our responsibility to strengthen the world of the Torah and uh instead of condemning them than supporting them a lot of them they work half a day and they they they learn Lear Tor the other day so we support hard Torah Learners and and also it goes to many many poor families so it's important now especially that this Shabbat like I explained in the long video in the beginning of the week that the second one that all the evil that we are experiencing now is rooted in the Nash in the serpent that his name is starting with the letter and it manifests all the way down into this world and we see that our problems are focused around the letter and the only way to push it away is with with kindness with has also the in it so we need to empower the letter with with kindness so we need to empower the the light with the acts of kindness that's why the donations are so important and we're making sure that it's going specifically to poor people what the teachings of cabala explains that you are en living them with sustenance and food that's way that's how we enliven the with light so it's extremely important that you follow all the orders it's not a lot a little bit a little bit of and you have the page there updated with everything that you need now I wanted to give you also some words of advice and wisdom from our par that you should think about before you doing chv in a few hours on Shabbat so bash this this week is of the this the the Paras the weekly portion of the Torah of the spies where mosenu sends the spies to is for 40 days they come back and they badmouth ER Israel they say it's going to be hard to conquer and there's Giants there in a horrible land and and they talk about Isel and of course the punishment is soon to come 40 years in the desert for 40 year against 40 days that they were walking around the land of Israel and not only that there are many commentaries especially that says because of the because of the spies came the first destruction of the first temple the destruction of the first temple and also all the four Exiles that's what Rashi says because of the the spies so commentary ask you know that these spies they were the Nim the princess of each tribe they were like the the the best they were selected to be the ones who repres representing the entire tribe they they were sikim they were righteous how can you say that they are the source of all destructions something doesn't make sense here now more than that if you look back a few months before that there was a greater sin the sin of the of the golden calf that was forgiven so the question here asked today what Hashem forgave the and he didn't forgive them the he forgave apparently for the golden calf so the MIM who were Jews righteous leaders of the tribes how come he didn't forgive them that doesn't make sense so there's a prophecy in the book of Zaria Zaria 14:14 in Hebrew you write it eded means yid a friend this is a friendly advice as they say and zakar says that mashia is going to put his feet on Mount Olive specifically he says and on that day his feet should stand on Mount olives okay what's the significance of the feet and what's the significance of the olives now first of all feet the foot is the part of the body that is connected to the ground so it's already showing us the significance of connection to the mundane to the physicality to this world to our to our desires and lusts and that that's what the foot is representing my connection to this world this is the world of lust the world of desires the world of sin and my foot is connected to this world so it's affecting the entire body that's what it does for most people now what's the significance of the Mount Olive why should mashia put his foot on Mount Olive but take the way the word away har mountain move it away you have Olive what is olive olive you make oil out of olive sheman what does sheman represent sh represents the soul what does the soul represent light which means that zakar says mashia is going to put his foot on the mount olives that the regel the foot should be above the light that the physicality should be above the spirituality the purpose of the world is for hem to be revealed in this world that's what hasm tells us you should make me a tabernacle that's hashem's order that's hm's wish that's hashem's purpose to creating the world he wants that we will take the physicality the main the phys the the the materialistic things and bring that above the light which means Elevate this world now how do you elevate this world well hasem told us I'll give you the land of your forefathers to guard it and to serve me on it and when the spies did not want to go into the land of Israel they were basically saying we don't want to bring the physical into this world we do not want to bring God into this world we want to stay in the desert where we have our spirituality where we get our food from the heavens from the man we are protected by the clouds we have water we have everything we need why why why do we need anything else they did not want to enter the land into Israel in order to bring godliness into this world that's why the sin is so severe that Hashem is saying I brought you to this world to bring light to the world to bring godliness into the world to take the mandane to take the physicality and to elevate it into Kus so you have to see that the way mosu called the spies isim which you write it me if you separate the word you have a me which I speak a lot of the the me the four mitv that we need to focus on and then you have the word regel and then the last letter is a the regel signifies that they were they they did not want to put their foot down in the land of Israel and to serve hem in in in Israel and to bring godliness into the world and the purpose of the world is to bring Hashem into this world therefore what we need to take from that that first of all and most important that we are here to serve Hashem and we need to take the physicality and elevate it that means that I need to take physical objects like mitv and Elevate them to God I need to follow the mitv more than that I need to take all my desires for physical things whether it's food or whatever lusts that I have marital relations and any other desires that I have to lie to cheat money Fame but to take that and overpower that and bring those desires above the light which means that I overcome them that I push them away that I take the darkness and I push it away with light but I do it in the physical world wants us to act in this world and increased in acts of kindness and learning Torah and more important to understand that Hashem gave us our land and we need to serve hem on this land so this is also a call for all of our brothers and sisters all over the world This Is Our Land Hashem gave us our land the same way that the spies didn't want to go back to Israel many people people in the in the in the spes we don't want to go back to Isel you have to understand that we have to come back to Isel This Is Our Land This is where we have to serve hem our power is when we come into this land and serve hem there's a lot of Jews here that don't serve hem on this land and desecrate Shabbat and many other things that's why we need to increase the light we need to increase the light in the land of Israel but the message you want to take for your before going into this Shabbat is that what brings me down in this world is my desires my evil inclination my lusts and it brings me down to be more and more and more stuck in this world so how can I serve AEM and that's why the MIM the spies were punished so bad because they they didn't want to so we have an opportunity today to fight all these inclination and all these uh battles and not only my personal battles and evil things also what's going on in the world so we have a powerful day to increase light both Shabbat and where we do chuva we repent for everything that we do we take responsibility we say to hm we're going to do our best to stop doing this this and that we give charity even though it's hard right now we pray and hopefully like the verse and the prayers of of repentance Day prayer repentance and charity remove the evil of the decree whether it's directly at me or there or to the entire world so a I beg you go to the page download the PDF get theim do what you need to do give the charity do the chuva do the repentance and
