this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay we just experienced a Rosh Hashanah and one of the most prominent features of Rosh Hashanah is reminding our color sparkle about the Arcada and we're not done with the akeda as much as we reminded our coach broke about the arcade on Rosh Hashanah why do we blow the chauffeur of an Isle to remind the whole purpose of chaifaro's is to remind Hashem of the gemara tells us that the whole avoid of Rosh Hashanah is to invoke the Acadia the maril says the reason why we do tashlah is by the akeda abramovino came to Mayim I people says that the whole purpose of why do we do caparis do you ever wonder why do we do caparis so we think okay I did anavera I sinned and I'm gonna take all my sins and I'm gonna put on a chicken you know whoever thought of that idea was brilliant here it is I could spend my whole day on my my smartphone I could waste all my time I could even do worse I could even bring into a Shoal now anybody listening to the sheer knows better than to bring in a phone into a shawl you can't bring a phone into a show whether it's on whether it's off it doesn't belong there it's distracting how's the person supposed to dive in in a respectable way with the phone on them but imagine this I have a great idea I'll bring my phone in and then I'll just put it on a chicken so how exactly does that work the Miri says there's no such thing you can't put your sins on a chicken the purpose of the caporos is to commemorate akeda where in lieu of Yitzhak and ayal was taken so we're reenacting okay that's it so you say then you don't use the chicken you should use a ram the Miri says of course you should use a ram you're supposed to the Miri says follow the original custom of a lamb of a ram in any event Rabbi Sai um okay that's it is one of the seminal events that we try to invoke on Rosh Hashanah and by the way even even today in uh in the 52nd slikha on the aked it was written by Robin or Frank every day we have a slikha for the akedah by the way there's a Big Mac like because when did the akeda take place acquaintance took place on Rosh Hashanah according to others it took place on Yom Kippur so the Al Qaeda is something we constantly invoke why is the Akida such a central theme to the history and the destiny of the Jewish people you know there's a concept maybe but it seems like the akeda is a bottomless pit anytime we're in a bind we invoke the Arcadia why is the akeda such a source of Merit for the Jewish people so I want to share with you the amazing Insight of them album the Melbourne parishes the era tells us something very important because we have to understand okay we under we recognize God wanted to test the Itzhak but I wanted to test avraham but there there are many ways Hashem could have tested avram why test him dafka by having him Slaughter or almost Slaughter yitzhakavino I mean God abhors Human Sacrifice what was the the what was God trying to get out of it from his point of view so the malbum says that the akedah is the entire viability and Destiny of the Jewish people avra mavino naturally was not able to have children avraham was an old man everyone was 99 years old he could not he cannot accomplish this physical task was not only in akara she's an islandist she had no uterus it wasn't statistically unlikely it wasn't highly improbable it was downright impossible for avram and start to have a child but they did so you say of course they did it was a miracle moreover the astrological star signs were menagi the birth of those constellations were programmed that naturally they couldn't have a child so but they did yeah but it was a miracle yeah but Miracles are problematic you know why Miracles are problematic because a miracle could only work so long as the recipient of the miracle is on the level and the madrega to be deserving of the miracle but the moment their madrego Falls and they don't deserve the miracle anymore then the force of nature of nature will come and try to destroy the Jewish people and their descendants which is by the way what happens to us throughout history throughout history if we're not doing what we're supposed to do they're phenomenon that occurred to Jewish people that don't happen to any other Nation what we what we experienced in the 20th century and in other periods in our history no other nation in the world ever experienced and there's a reason for it it's because if we're not on the level to be deservant of Supernatural existence then we can't exist so Houston we got a problem because maybe avraham and Yitzhak were worthy of such a miracle but maybe the Jews in 2023 won't be and maybe the Jews throughout history will not be so this is a very big problem sasham needs to fix it Hashem needs to give nature what it wants and then recreate the Jewish people rewired in a way that we can exist that we can even exist in a natural plane so what does that college do Hashem is going to give nature What It Wants Hashem tells Abraham Abraham go take your son and sheched him and he was going to do it and the task that he was going to do was considered as if it was done sashem turns to the astrological Stars signs and says to Nature okay you have what you want they can't exist naturally thank you they can't exist naturally one second so Hashem tells nature you're going to have what you want avram's gonna he's almost going to do it the fact that it almost happens it's considered like it happened so now the forces of nature Teva has what it wanted nature says avram and Sarah can't be mild so in fact there's no more Jewish people avram took his son he almost killed him it's like he killed him and especially according to and the medrus that actually when avrah mavina put the knife on YouTube's neck died in fact the base brings down that after the akeda Hashem had a revisified and when he experienced him he said so not only did nature have what it wanted theoretically nature had what it wanted died the Jewish people ceased nature overcame miracle and God said okay let's do this again the Acadia was a recreation of the Jewish people in a way where now nature does not is not always opposing our existence now we have a level of existence not only supernaturally but rewired in a way that the stars are not aligned against us that nature is not aligned against us the al-Qaeda is literally the recreation of the Jewish people and this really gives us insight into why every time we're in a bind and we're in a jam we say Hashem what are we saying it's not just tapping into the Merit of avrah mavino it's also reminding Hashem you know you rewire the system you recreated us in a way that we could still exist even when we don't deserve it even though even when we're not worthy of it that's the the event of the akeda why the arcade is so seminal to the history and the destiny of the Jewish people and that's why ultimately that aisle that aisle is used two times in history the smaller horn was used at harsinai was blown at cabal Satora the show forgoto the larger horn will be blown heralding the meshiach that's what we're
