Parshas Balak: What Was Zimrei Thinking? - The Earth Shattering Revelation of the Imrei Yosef

This Torah class is brought to you by tora anytime.com. Okay, as we prepare for paras and paras is usually the para that we lane immediately before the bays before the three weeks. uh want to welcome all of the Jroot listeners tying time uh viewers and of course all the here in Karn Hills New York. Okay so let's deal with a number of very important issues. Firstly Ezra who organized the creatur of the year uh there he positions certain parish at certain times. We know we lay in paras before rashana we lay in parasai before shuis but all the paras have a specific connection to the time of the year what is the connection between paras balok and the bhamsarim and let's begin with the following in this week's para at the end of the para we have a very unusual episode we have a man by the name of zimri benalu who's this who's nasi number two the nasi of shvad shim He's one of the leading and he's a god of Israel. He's on the he's bigger than any aisha in Tana that you ever heard of. And yet he takes he takes and he's mis with her barabim like what what's he thinking? Like what was going on through his head? What was it? So obviously you know he said it was not ver that's why pin has knocked him off. But you have to understand and this is something that annunciates in his also published at the end of the he says let's get back to the topic all the actions of the meaning the the figures of even the ones mentioned in the are not like they seem to They're not just happen stance. Well, he he was in the mood, so he No, don't think that who is none other than he was the greatest of don't think he was some kind of promiscuous guy, some kind of low character. saw him like the fools thinks I would come to explain to you the real meaning of this of these time would run out it still would have what to say the is notice and bird chirping he went there she went there where you going for this what are you doing for that what are you wasting your life for who cares the Torah every word of Tory there are very very great and deep cabana So that's sort of what's our appetite. So so if was not what was he doing then? What's going on? What was he thinking? There's a very mysterious in. So let me translate to you. An animal that possesses rigorous loins or a male goat or a king against whom there is no raising up. Right? You got it. An animal that possesses rigorous loins or a male goat or a king against whom there is no rising up. By the way, you know what Rashi says on this poki. Rashi and Mish says Zarzer is actually a starling. Yeah, it's a bird. Well, the Gumar and Sanhedrin in um per says O Russia say Zimri Ben Saloy cohabited with Kazour 424 times on that day by the way that's a lot of the they were he was mazan 424 times the right we had a kazano it's a numerical value right as you pointed out of Zarzer. Now the Maral says this is a um this is an exaggeration um because it's not physically possible to do it so many times. Okay. Yeah, I think we understand that waited until he was depleted of his energy. But didn't realize the god of vengeance was with him. So say this really unusual concept that Zimry lived with him who lived with her 424 times. This is what we call the riddle of Kazal. What are Kazal getting at? What do they mean again? What was Zim's kavana? And what do kazal mean? He lived with her 424 times. I want to be to you an amazing thing. The Ram says, the Messiah is destined to stand up. And one thing Mashiach will do is restore based to its first power. will build a temple and gather in the scattered Jews of and all law will be restored will bring carbon and we'll do if you don't believe in messiah if you're not waiting for him for you're not just a heretic in the words of the prophets You're a heretic in the Tyra and in Misha. Now, where does the Tyra say Mashiah will come? Doesn't say anywhere in the Torah about Mashia. It's only in the Noah testifies. These words explained in the These words that are said in the Torah are explained by the so far all the Ram has showed us that the Torah talks about we are but the Ram has not demonstrated yet that the Torah says that a scion of the Davidic dynasty will redeem us. So far all the Torah tells us now the Ni might tell us that but all the Ram has demonstrated so far is that there will be a Msiah but that he'll come from that we don't know yet comes the Rambam and even in the param could I have please thank you there in parasum it prophecies about the two messiahs The Messiah and who's the first Messiah? David is and who's the last Messiah? The Messiah who will arise from his children Israel. By the way, the Z says that the Messiah that will come is David Malik is okay. But either either way, with it, without it, the first Messiah is David. The second Messiah is a descendant of David. Right now we're dealing with the the final one. Messiah Ben David. Now we're in Paris Bum. Does it say talk about Messiah Benavid? So says the Rambam Shmaru I see him but not now. Zavidu who does that refer to mech. Ashurenu. Let's see. Why am I not finding? Okay. Then the Ram continues. become. So if I were to ask you where in theish does it say not the concept of Msiah it says where does it say Msiah will be a scion of the Davidic dynasty paras isn't that interesting the only place in the Torah that it talks about the ancestry and the lineage of Mel is in paral by the way we spoke on Monday just and we once learned it over here from the Mahar real discan and you have it on your sheet over here number 14 that what what's the difference? Why isra and the notyra? Because in order for something to bera, it has to be prophecied with what's called the clear prism. Only had the clear prism did not have the clear prism. There's only one part of that's without why because bum also had aspaklar not because he was great only because God could not trust him to interpret what he was saying. So he just gave it to him black and white. So then it comes out the only nva in the that's not the nva of is the nva of bam. So then it comes out there's of there is one then that didn't come through the of it came through what is that interesting the ra says it has ram No, because then it says and David was the only one who destroyed May. I'm not sure if that's the only way the Rambam knows. Well, let's take the Rambam's word for it that refers to David. But it's interesting thing that the one para that Moshe did not prophecy on is parasak, which is the para that annunciates the concept that Mashiah will be descendant of David. David is a descendant of True. Yes, he is. That right. But why is this the one in that Mosha did not prophecy about? Okay, let me um bring to your attention an idea we mentioned on Monday just as way of introduction and we pointed out that Balak sends a message to Pyra Payra. We don't know exactly where Pyra is. What does it mean he sent a message to Pyra? The Arizal is Maggala an incredible thing. If you look in Paris Truma, the tarum translates the word as pira. If you look at the tarum on the word, the t the word is pyra. Now rashi says the shan had a crown around it. How's that? What did it represent? What did the crown around the represent? The crown around the represents kesar. The crown around the shan represents malus. What Balok was getting at was as follows. He was saying, "Billam, you don't think I could defeat Klaus Israel? Don't you know that I'm gonna win?" The same way Kyra, why did Karak think he would defeat my shabu? Because Ky saw who would come out from him. Balak says, "You know who's coming out from me? Pira Malus. David." So if David's coming out for me and I'm getting in a rink with my Rabenu, obviously I'm coming out. I'm going to be the champion because David coming out from me, not from him. So the message of Pesra was Malus. Hey, get it Malus. We're going to beat these guys. Malus. In fact, um we also spoke at it. Look at number six. That's what the Arizal said in the number five. The dala theraala of um the deala of the says an incredible thing. You see everything in this world has a source of vitality, has a spark of kaduca, has an ashama. Even an inanimate object, even a nation has a source of vitality. And if that source vitality is removed, the object disintegrates, disappears and and crashes down into like a pile of rubble. So the question is, what is the source of life of the nation of Mayav? What is its spark of kaduca? What's its nishama? The nishama of mayave was the soul of David Hamelik that was trapped in Mayav. The proof is as soon as David became the king. He destroyed Mayov because now May has no more source of yika, no source of strength, no source of vitality. It's soul. It's like imagine you go to a guy you rip out their heart. Okay? So they're dead. So the same way as soon as Davidid was extracted from Moyov and he became the melav was wiped out. In fact says that's what it means. Vogar means to bear means to um to hide to bury deep within. So therefore, the definition of is he buried. He's trying what what Balik is trying to do is Balik is a smart man. He knows David is going to come from him. So he know and he also knows that the whole source of mayav's vitality is the nama of David and as soon as David is removed then may will disintegrate and may will disappear. So what balak is planning on doing he's trying to bury deep within mayy David trying to trap David within by trapping David within would last forever. In fact, we once said and now we have it. I I said this over last week to the penman. So he told me it's a it's so I already wrote it 30 years ago. He told me and he showed it to me and then he said but don't feel bad because I found it in the so I put it on the sheet says the following. This could go out of your mind. It's unbelievable. You ready? So how if you were a Balak and you wanted to make sure that Mayv would last forever, how would you ensure mayv would last forever? If you could block David from getting out, then you're trapping him and and will last forever. If we could figure out how to get the to say then Jews will never be able to marry any Moabitete women and then do it trapped forever. It can never get him out. So Bik says, "I have a great idea. I'm gonna hire Bill and Benba or Hashimo will get so angry at me, he's gonna say. And even better, I'm gonna tell my people to be so cruel and so arrogant that when the Jews come out, don't serve them water and bread. This way, God will say, "We're such a corrupt people." And then and the Jews will never be able to marry us. And God will say, so Bum says, "No, that's not going to work, pal." You know why? because God is only gonna have a Tina on the men for not serving water. But God's not gonna have a Tina on the women because women are supposed to be in their tent. So Bog said, "You're right. What should I do?" But Bog says, "You know what? But at least Hashem's going to have a problem. Why don't our women bring water to their women?" Bam says, "No, God wants all women in the tent. He doesn't want any women out, even serving other women. It's not their place." But Bam said, "I have a great idea. If I get the bino to be misan. So then they can't excuse themselves for not serving you water by saying we're you know we're little rabbitson over here and we stay in our tent all day. You're such why you go out to be if then bum says God's going to have a on the women that they should have brought water to the women of the Jews and then God's going to say and then dove is trapped forever. That's the okay is a lion of thorns. He's trying to make thorns around to protect David that David should never come out. But what do we learn from here? That David is trapped somewhere in May and they're trying to get him out and we're almost in danger of never getting him out. Bum and Bolock's plan was to ensure that Moyov remains forever by keeping David. Now, who does David do come from? Russ. How do Kazal refer to Russ? As a rabbi, are you ready for this? This is the most astounding you've ever heard. I'm telling you, if you miss this, you know, listen, listen very carefully. What is Russ called? The garra says that hashem tells don't distress. So the garra asks this is number eight. The garra says hashem tells don't distress. So fractur why would mosha do anything without hashem's permission? Why would Hashem need to tell Mosa don't distress Mosha would never do anything without permission? says he would have he would have made a kabak that if Midan who just were hired by that if Midan only came to help Hashem said him so may like so was going to say whatever I did to I for sure do to so Hashem said don't touch why not what I think you think I need to extract two good doves from in fact there's a media on the base what's the double nikmas says a medish nikim is for midan nikmas is for says the medish may was the first to start up with us. Why did Hashem delay our revenge against Mayav? Says the Medish. David was going to come out of May. Hashem said, "Wait until David comes. And once David comes to the table, then you could destroy Mayav." And as soon as David was the king, the first thing he does or the second thing he does was he destroys Mayav. It's an amazing thing. The what kept May going was the fact that David was inside of Mayaf. So uh freedman the pinas I visit him again this week and he was very kind to share with me some of his writings that are not in print yet. So actually number 11 and 13 are not from the saf is for the of the so he gave me rashus to say it over he gave me rash to put it on the sheet it's not published so nobody don't take these pieces and then go publish it under your name it will be geneva this we have special permission to put it on the sheet so he says like this how many miss did bum and balac make seven altars How many times did he try to curse Kal Israel? Three times. Each time he made seven misbehanis did he bring each time? 14 14. In other words, there were seven on each brought a para. So that's 14 14 14. Why do you think he he used seven ms? Why do you think he brought a to a total of 42 carbonis? Interesting. Seven ms. Yes. right now that seven misbeh repeats itself one more time in Nazir and the garra says like in the 42bak brought David came out of Balak. He brought 42 carbanis to kill us and in that he had David. Why did he bring seven carbon? Says freedman. Well say the seventh shepherd of Israel. David is number seven. Why did he bring 14 carbonos? David is 14. It's interesting. How many times did he try to curse us? Three times. What was he trying to do by bringing these carbonis? Destroy Kalisra. How is he trying to destroy Kalisra? By trapping David. Look at what the rev did to him. He thought by bringing these carbon he was going to destroy David. He was going to trap David. And Hashem said, "You think you're going to trap David?" in the that you bring these carbon is going to come out. That's how now how many times then did he try to destroy three times. So says [Music] why does David say he was surrounded by enemies three times? What's he referring to? says freedman. It refers to the three times that Balok hired Bum to try to curse and destroy David. And how did Hashem save us? Hashem saved us. How is that? Because each time it says, in other words, the Hashem protected us three times. Incredible how Hashem sort of turned the tables. How's that? He thought he was going to be of David from coming from being created from joining Israel. And in the of his seven carbon, seven each time he brought a 14 carbon canv he was that David came out of it. I have a question for you. Why do you think it's parasum that's replete with mentions of mal David and the coming of Messiah? Because this is the para we are David is trying to be stopped. David is trying to be trapped and through what Bam Balak did they were able to create David Aamelik. But what's incredible is this is the only para in the Tyra that's not the Nva of Mishraeno. This is the Nva Bam. In other words, the rest of the Tyra, it's Tyra because of Misha's prophecy. Parasum is parasak is Tyra because of Bum's prophecy. Why do you think that is? It's very interesting. I want to suggest there's only one bakasha and one mila that moenu was mispallow for and hashem said no and that is moenu wanted malus he wanted mus where do we see that look at number he said don't come here take off your So the gar says like so said I want to be mel and said you will not be mel. So the gumar asked Mosha was a melar answers no he he was a melik but it wasn't passed on to his children by the way says why does use the of just said what does meanos says so when tells he was saying was going to come from you. So when Hashem told what was hashem telling mo will not come from you. So what's the one in that Mosa wanted and he was not to. So maybe the when Hashem said I'll take Hashem was telling Moshe you have no connection to David. So if that's the case not only was Moshe not to Moshe couldn't prophecy about either. So the one inra that's not the of but had to be the of somebody else was paral which is replete with the prophecies of so now the question is why couldn't be why not so is an amazing idea the sheish brings down he heard from his grandfather the katskar we know the was the son of the abdenezer abenezar was son-in-law of the kutskar and the kutskar made the following enigmat enigmatic mysterious statement. There was no mala in Israel. So we had to steal it from question is what does he mean? What do you mean there's no mala in so we had to steal it from? So says the says the says like this is so could the finger say I'm the king of the body I'm the king of the the heart it's one entity you can't have malus in one entity is one entity and therefore there can't be malus I was a mel that's only because moisha was k all of Israel but he could not be misn overl Because in order to have you need there's no who has ga the says in the kipa of is ga it says about shamanuy are bala we needed to borrow the mid of ga in other we needed to import it it's like gasoline right America is very powerful we just you know we happen not to have any major uh deposits of fuel over here. So we we have to we have to import it. GIO does not exist in Klaus. So it needed to be imported. Who do we import it from? From therefore therefore in order to be a mel you need what's called gaucha. We don't have ga. Why was procluded and and not allowed to be over? The garra says said, "You don't have enough to be the mel." So maybe we could say like this the one idea and the one attribute that had no to you know why couldn't be he couldn't have it's antithetical to's personality. So he could be the mel not as the he could be the mel as but he can't be a mel is not connected to mo did not go hand in hand couldn't have and he couldn't prophecy about it's not something that was was uh connected to the and therefore the one of that Moshe does not prophecy about says so now I'm going to tell you something one of the most incredible things you ever heard there's a say for Ira is I believe rese Mayor Spina who is a tremendous and hemorrhed that explains the Mishnim that was 424 times and as he quotes from there is no question he didn't do this as a act of promiscuity but he must have had a tremendous says well my we know that who was trying to hang on to David Balak just turn it off please that the Balik was trying to hang on to Bak was holding on to him because that's the source of kaduca of Mayav now if Clausuro would be able to extract Nishmaz Davidid that's the end of Uh that's the end of Mayav. In fact, bottom line is why did Bayaz live with Russ? People were making trouble. People saying you're going to live with Russ. You're not live with us. Because Bayaz had a tradition that there was a pray in May from which would come. In fact, Nami was trying to send a message to Bayaz. She's the one. She's the one. Vhariah. She is doing what the ben light did to their father. The ben light snuck up on their father and secretly lived with him. So she's doing the same thing as the benite the same way the benite were acting the shame shim. She's acting the shame shayim. In fact according to the alik r was the gil of the of the oldest daughter of light. But be it as it may, Cla had a tradition that there's a woman in Moya from which Malvin would come. The of Zim living with the princess of Mayav is probably he saw in her tremendous kayak of Malus. After all, she's the princess of Mayav. And what do we need to get out of May? Malus. He lived with her to produce David. That was his says, "What's the secret of the garra?" Messiah Benavid is gamatria 424. Messiach Benavid is gamatria 424. Messiah Benavid is tough. His cavana was to be mightish. He just he says he says I don't know for sure but maybe that's what the why you know I'm telling you what I know he says says he says like this he quotes he saysala that the nam of David was trapped within mayy and it was released with who with let's read his words look in number 19 tradition And the woman that the the spark was trapped in it would chase after so that this nit would be extracted like Russ who came secretly and lay by magaz to to um allow the to come You want to know what Zim was thinking? that he thought that from there would be is gamatria 424 that's the meaning of the garradal word exactly he says I can't tell you for sure there are no guarantees in life but this is what he thinks so then it comes out what para do we lane before the three weeks we l the one par that talks not only about the but about the creation of the replete with And it's such a para that even this is something that even couldn't say because not given Hashem says to don't come here and therefore as an introduction as an introduction to the three weeks says paral to realize that Msiah he's out there he's he's We just have to be him is trying to by the way I just realized then we could say what does say that's the who are the what are the try to stand up to protect David from being emitted that's So here we are. We're on the precipice of the three weeks. On the one hand say the three weeks is a downfall of the mus because we know we don't get married during the three weeks. In fact um this is the of the on the other hand it also has in it the seeds of the mashiach is born on and we once spoke that lived with the night of was conceived. So on the one hand the binham we're locked out. We're locked out. But on the other hand, it has the seeds of all we need to do is extract. We need to be says and this is the last of the we say we should be the hashem and beak. So that asked if you're mak what do you have to do for it's it's enough to hashem what more do you need? He says no then in order for to come down to this world it has to be through the vehicle of saysel says in the first was there second was not there why during there was there's no that's why when built the says he simultaneously built his own house but why without the the there's no that's why the says when they destroy the mdra they go hand in hand this week's parry was misguided why was he misguided he thought he would be through the tough he would be that's what everything you want to No. So I thought of the following raz and I uh I checked it with the pin and he says very good from where do kazal derive that zim was bu 424 from what word in mich we only we only just zar 424 where else in sh does The Gomorrah bring the Pik of Zarzer. Oh, I remember B. Very good. Excellent. The Gomorrah says that bad people hand hang out with bad people. How do I know? It's written in the Torah. It's repeated in the Nim. It's thrice in the it's also a common expression. The expression goes like this. Why does the bad palm tree hang out with the barren trees? Meaning that's a bad people hang out with bad people. The where is it repeated? Where is it in the Torah? Asov went to where is in the bad people hang out with where is in the bad birds hang out with bad birds. And the Gar brings a Mishna. Why does the Zarzer hang out with the Because it's bad. By the way, it's Mik is over there. I believe the say Zarzer is kosher. Why is the Zarzer kosher? It's not one of the 20 tra birds. And we don't know that it's tra. So, it's kosher. Rabbi Lazar says a zarzer is tra. Why? Because a zarzer hangs out with an oy. Yeah, but we don't Yeah, but we don't know a zarzer is tra doesn't matter. If an is and the zarzer hangs out with it, a zar is tra. So the mala is maggala. It says as and Ishmael and the way it's compared in birds are Zarzer and that's because the is and the zarzer is so an amazing thing occurred to me there are two things in this world that are compared to a zarzer who is and no Messiah Ben is also 424. Interesting. There are two things in this world that are compared to desires there and and ishel. So that comes out of because we've already said so many times there's a sh and there's a kamar. The is and the iss going to take us out of the gulus of the sh of golos ad butavid who's compared to he's going to take us out of compared to Why? Why is David from Galas? Because there's 424. It has a power. It has a power is also 424. We should be ziachar which is 424 from the gulos of the zar which is 424. But in which para in the Tory do we read about the possibility of extracting Miach Benavid this week's para there's so many men that Zimry even thought now's the time to do it that's the end of the para why do we lay in this par right before the three weeks to elicit in us the yearning not only for but also to rebuild that in order to restore the we need so this paral is the to the it's the time that we know was conceived Msiah was born Zimry thought he would be able to do it 424 he wasn't za he didn't make a rightb but we were meits for him we were um we were but it gives us a new appreciation for the paral it's that moenu it's the only he didn't say in the maybe because we said mo was ishov and the concept of malus is the ga that was borrowed from that could not it it was not even acceptable to well in any event hopefully we barked up the right tree if we didn't to the and the building return of the Thank you.
