in progress okay everyone Hi um we're going to have a short share ban we're continuing our series on let me pull up the screen for you the shum on are generously sponsored by our dear friend ritala Rose and family the are dedicated by the Israeli family nishas mayid to okay I want to just share with you a brief idea in this week we read the aash shabir you know it's very interesting that at the end of there's a and then in parentheses it says okay we're going to I'm going to get personal with you anybody who raise your hand if you say that at the end of nobody's willing to admit that they say it all right I'll be honest with you I don't say it either I don't say it either but it's there the S at least in some s and the truth is that not everybody endorses it because the B says it should be erased the B says you should erase those words why has an issue with saying at Le we have one proud shma Sayer at the end of uh aasher why would we say sha at the end of aasher what the they say they said sh at the end of so I want to share with you um a very important basis of understanding for in general we know that hashem's name is y the sh but the truth is that there are a number of ways to spell the shame Hava there are there are four seu Milo shame Hava the 72 there's the shame Hava of ion B there's a shame Hava of 63 there's a shame Hava of 45 and there's a shame Hava of 52 it's Ki to write this down and to know it the shame of 72 is when you spell out the so the Y is spelled that's 20 the hey is spelled hey yud 15 the V is spelled v yud v 22 and the he is he so 20 15 22 15 right 20 15 2215 what's the numerical value 72 right y k k followed by he followed by v v followed by he that's 72 that's the highest per um combination of God's name then there's hashem's name 63 which is a mixed combination y will always be he is he the V instead of being v v is V Al so basically you're you're taking nine out of the equation so God's name is now 63 then there's something something called 45 ma that's Milo Al that's you put Al in Al Al so is 20 he Al is six V 13 He Al is six that's a g of 45 20 and six 13 and 6 20 and 6 is 26 39 6 45 then you have 52 52 is Ben that's hav with ha he is he he V is v v hey is HEI he 52 so it doesn't necessarily go in numerical value it's 72 63 45 52 these four types of ways to combine hashem's name correspond to four worlds four worlds these four worlds are the four levels of of spirituality and I want to tell you what they are they're called ab ab that is where the uh hashem's presences then there isri then there is then there's let me exp laain so the our world the world that we're in is that's where we live on top of our our world ofia is y that's where the angels are on top of that isri are where the celestial palaces are and ailos is Gava and these four worlds correspond to the four ways of combining hashem's name the is the Bri is 63 is 45 the is Ben 52 now the Remis to this is Ash it's a little bit out of order and a is our world very interesting so he say what do I need to know this for because every day you travel through these four worlds when the four parts of daving what are the four parts of the avening the first part of the avening is carban that's this world of AIA the next part of daving is 45 the world of the Angels that's from the next part of daving is that's the world of the that's and then till the end is that's where you're Mish with in each part of daving you want to unify the name of and have kavana that you would give your life for Hashem therefore says the mar that he heard as a from the that is the reason why there is a sh in all four parts of daving in the first part of ding we have that's for the then we have at the end of I would say even for for us who don't say it we we fulfill the theme of it of unifying H's Name by saying then we have a Unity of hashem's name in theam habri the habri is the where we say hashem's name where we say and then finally there are many who say at the end of they correspond to the four different types of spellings of hashem's name I've told everyone many times if you have a chance to get the in the mus midash it tells you where how each part of daving corresponds to these different worlds and which name of Hashem each uh thing corresponds to each part of daving corresponds to I I'm going to share with you one last idea that this explains why hasu before we know that for a thousand years as we say andu for USU is part of but theik brings that based on this cabalistic understanding of the Bion of we can explain the custom of those who say before he brings something really interesting he says the is 52 Ben and Ben is the shame Hashem that corresponds to the carb and the first part of theing so that that is uh compelling for to move the before but again it's worthwhile to have a general awareness that there are four main parts of daving each part of daving is elevating us and catapulting us to higher and higher levels okay that's our uh word on F for this uh shabas recording stopped you
