husband and father elzar Ben harav yob zaka also tonight's sh and the sh are co-sponsored by the Israeli family mayor bavid and also tonight sh is sponsored by the Justman family by Justman ver for the yard side of his mother for all their families that was the best part of this year everybody's interested in that part no just joking okay so here we come also this is also a very important part of the sh and now that porm is almost here um get your magia on PM you could go to the website rabid dg.com and free delivery in the United States of America but the good news is also that tonight's share is brand new exciting material that uh was never yet sheared publicly so bar you will be uh the first and maybe they will make it into the next edition of the PM so I was reading the paraa and there was a phrase in the paraa that really caught my attention because I thought I'd seen it before it sounded something similar to Milla sester so let's start with the Milla the says in is trying to explain to Esther and to why was hanged and the King said to Queen Esther and to Mor the Jew behold Ham's house is given to Esther and he is hung on a tree because he sent forth his hand against the Jews now question number one is the word yehudim is spelled with two Ys so I'll tell you the truth that wasn't my starting question because you can't ask a question if you you don't know what the answer is going to be you only ask questions that you know you could answer but now that I know that maybe we'll be able to answer it let's ask why are there two Ys in the word by as if it's written by you never hear of Y what are y you ever heard such a thing right go Ah that's that's the right answer what in the world are yudum so okay you could come back you know he's good so um why does it have an extra yud in the word y but furthermore the word sh is a very specific word sh means to send forth your Yad your hand AEL you have a Yad here yeah he happens to have a Yad I know watch this thank you so so uh it says that hamon was hanged because he sent forth his hand against the him no he didn't he wanted to sh means to misappropriate as we're going to see in this week's para it's a specific halic term H didn't do anything to the Jews what did H do to the Jews he made a lottery he plot to kill us and it was thwarted right the uh he didn't do anything he tried to do he planned to do but he didn't carry it out so why does the PK say AER is a very specific terminology first of all let's look at number two number two is raise your hand if you were ever a if you're ever hired to watch something for somebody somebody said came over to you rutes he said I want to pay you $1,000 I want you to watch my pet tiger okay didn't that never happened never never I don't know think hard so you're being paid to watch something for somebody and the guy comes back from vacation and he says where's tiger you say uh was stolen stolen so you're but what if you say no it wasn't stolen you know the UA the UAE the other day landed or orbited in Mars so you may you tell you say you know what happened few aliens came down from Mars and they stole your tiger and and uh it was an onus and they hijacked him they kidnapped the tiger and they brought it to outer space so that's something beyond your control you're not for that so now you need to swear you're off the hook as long as you didn't use the item if you misappropriated the item if you use the item then you're for anything that happens you're for however as long as you swear the of God will be among all of them between the two of them if you did not send forth your hand that's them they're calling you from matter space if you did not send forth your hand in the the item of your friend so the basically is like this a does not have full responsibility for example is if something is stolen is if something anous happen the only thing is he has to swear that he was that you didn't misappropriate you didn't use the item of your friend now there's an interesting between let's say you planned on being in the in the item but you didn't actually do it you thought to do you had a to do it but you didn't actually do it so the says one who plans on misappropriating a deposit says your so according to if you merely think you're going to misappropriate and you don't and then an oess happens you're because you planned on using it by the way rash and says it doesn't mean you thought it means you actually articulated that you were going to and B of the opinion you're not until you actually misappropriate who would actually admit that you know to ad they so he has to swear he didn't do it now somebody might not admit but they're not going to swear falsely that they didn't do it right and steal deposit someone's going to misappropriate a deposit for something if he goes before a court I'm sure doesn't really care basically we really scare The Living Daylights out of somebody before they make a oath and say you know you're going to destroy the world you're going to destroy yourself we make them hold the safe for Tyra so so not not every crook is willing to swear falsely most uh we we we give severe repercussions and we really make it a very frightening experience so according to it's enough to think to be according to you have to actually use the item now there's another when you use the item do you have to use it in a way where you cause a loss to the item or even if you just use it and you don't cause a loss to the item we pass that you need to use it in a way not only is it not enough to think to use an item not only is it not enough to use the item you have to use it in a way that you cause a loss to the item and then and only then are you on things that you ordinarily would have been putter on so the question and this question is raised by R muger and we'll see others is that why would it comes to ham that the Milla uses a very specific halic terminology why is H hanged because he was in the Jewish people he used the Jews he harmed the Jews no he didn't he wanted to he wanted to it should say why does it say he did that's the question of in the in his page five 37 in case you only got up to page 536 so it's on page 537 now he asks first of all you need to do it you can't plan on doing it second of all it needs you have to cause a loss in the item H didn't cause us any harm any damage he just tried to by the way this question is also raised in the of rats who is a fine Jew who I never met nor do I know anything about he wrote and he wants to know was he did not misappropriate us he did not harm us he wanted to so you'll say maybe that's what it means he wanted to H wait a second let's go back to the KRA big son and sares big son and SAR AEL thinks he's going to sit in the corner I'm not going to notice that he's there no no no you know where we are big son and Saras what happened to them Israel they died they died yes how did they die they were hanged um they they hung them on a tree why so the says in number four they wanted to so here it says it straight up well it says the truth when it says somebody hurts someone it says they hurt them when it says they wanted to it says so what's going on over here why by big sonar says they wanted to be sh and by h no he was sh so now we come we have a Min ready for many years think going back like 10 years already that in the sh before P we like to give a she from the great every year we have an annual P so this year we have to continue our holy tradition and you know it's not it's not easy finding new material every year but the it's it's longer than the earth wider than the sea so here's an interesting question take a look at number seven on the first month which is Nissan in the 12 year he cast a lot from day to day and month to month H made a lottery you ever hear of lot not really da play L you know they say you have a better chance of you know getting uh struck by Thunder and light you know but depends if you if you have good maszle uh you got to be in it to win it right so H made two lots what what is the meaning of this from day to day and month to month I mean didn't he take off his black hat Noam wore a black hat that he got in the porcelin store and he he took off the hat and he put in 365 said the first day the second day the third and he picked out so what's I he's trying to choose which day to kill the Jews why these and then later on in the Migel it says po therefore these days are called because of the lot the poor now if the name of the holiday is because of the poor it should be called poor which would be a good name for the holiday considering that they're the ones who enjoy it the most they get free food free money you know everyone's showering them should be called poor why would it be called fim these SE are the two questions of what's and what's the two lots soan says the two questions answer each other ham made two lots first he chose the day first day of the month second day of the month third day of the month he he had a hat he had a black hat for shabas that he put in 30 L and then he had a blue hat for the he had a blue week they had M with a feather you know it was a little bit triangular and on that on that hat there were 12 and it said so first he pked he could have picked 17 3 1 1929 and then he could pick 1 through 12 so that's and that's why it's called f because there were two lots yeah but say I mean that's ridiculous imagine what exactly is the compelling nature of such a lottery you got to pick one day and you got to pick one month so I mean it's like remember when yosua said to aan okay we're going to decide who stole from the Booty by making a lot and whoever whoever's name came up we're going to kill him so akan said I have a great idea I'll make a lot between you and andar and whoever I pick out I'll kill them like that yua I mean obviously a lot in it of itself is absurd oh let's kill I mean one day has to come up but what's the indication that there's something special about that day I mean is going to go for that imagine H comes I have Divine endorsement that this is the day to kill the Jews how's that ham because I picked it out of a hat oo wow that's that's very compelling way way to know when God wants you to kill the Jews I mean this the most random way you could possibly choose something imagine if I come to mua now now I need I have to movea somewhere you know or something like that next to who am I moving next to one person so I have to move next to one person wow that's a very good Mahal in life to randomly pick things out of a hat you know anybody who operates that way is clearly insane so I mean what what exactly is the compelling nature of Ham's lot says no no no no no no that is not what hamon did hamon had two hats again he doesn't say hats it could have been two boxes but hamon had two hats in Hat number one there were days and the days were numbered 1 to in Hat number two there were months and they were number 1 through 12 say if in Pat number one hamon picks out the number 100 and in Hat number two he picks out Adar Adar is going to be days 324 to 354 if he picks out day 100 the days and the months are contradicting each other so obviously the system is faulty the Divine endorsement is if ham has the good masle that the day he picks out fits into the month that he picks out in other words day 1 through 30 will only fit to Nissan two um 31 through 60 would be ER 60 through 90 would be Sian so that says if you would have picked day 100 and obviously uh nothing going on over here but if he picks let's say day 340 and AD he's got something cooking over here obviously he's being it's being divinely endorsed so if the day and the month fit in with each other that's why it says these are the two lots and this was the compelling nature of the Lots so again ham in his first loty he picked out how many days in the lunar calendar 354 right and they're 12 months so comes the Pinas and this is real classic Pinas territory and he I'll tell you the truth I have to give a lot of credit this because the way he approached it I'm going to approach it the complete opposite but I never would have thought of it had I not seen what he said and that is he says like this that the H was making a lottery and clearly according to there were not 365 days in the possibilities he was not making a lottery based on the solar calendar you says clearly was was going based on the lunar calendar right but he was using the Jewish calendar however says when however says the when says if would have landed out on day 100 that's a contradiction to the month of Adar because day 100 is Ines that's not what means cuz that would mean the way the loty worked is Nissan by the order of the Jewish months and we all know that even though Nissan is the first month but the beginning of the year is Tish so day 100 would beave T and day 340 would then be in El not in Adar and therefore says I in his opinion hamon started the count on day one was R and it fell out on so let's make a is the seventh month not the 12th month from Nissan but the seventh month from Tish and the lottery fell out on what day you gim and what day is youim s is only something the uncover well if you go 3029 3029 3029 that gets you to uh right that that six um excuse me is the sixth month so the 13th of ad is day 161 how's that because 6 months is exactly 80 Days minus 3 that's 177 minus 16 for the last 16 days of Ador that gets you to 161 okay 161 so you say what's 161 don't you know with what name did God take the Jewish people out of Egypt mosa said God when the Jewish people ask me what what's your name the name of God with which he took us is then he then then he now the G of is 21 however if you write it out spelled which is 111 hey spelled he 15 y spelled 20 hey spelled hey so that equals 161 161 the name with which God took us out of Egypt is name 161 I will be with them that I will be with them I'm taking them out comes the BBA and the says you remember the make a Redemption and a separation between my people and your people who are my people Isel Isel equals 541 MIM is what 380 what's the difference between 541 and 161 hash says you know I'm going to take them out I'll make Redemption how will I make Redemption the difference between my people and your people my people are 541 your people are 380 I will redeem you in the difference between my people and your people which is eya 161 so since we believe that nothing in Judaism is is coincidental nothing is ever coincidental especially in there's a concept no great things are coincidental why did God have it that the lottery should fall out on y gim which is day 161 because that's the day the holy day representing God's name with which he took us out of knew that no didn't know that but God orchestrated that that should fall out on that day so that it would bring protection to the Jewish people because 161 is a name of redemption as we know it's documented that was the name with which God redeemed us from now I want to add that when morai wanted to do chuva and and he wanted to encourage Ka to repent he enacted that we fast when on P why on P it's as if he's like petitioning p p didn't redeem us on this y with the name 161 well we need 161 to basically come through for us again in other words their iing the they're saying God you already once redeemed us on PES 161 now we ask you to again use the which ISU 161 to redeem us once again okay so it's an amazing thing who would have even calculated that Yim is the 161st Day in the year from Tish who would have even known what the significance of 161 that's the name God took us out of Egypt however there are 70 facades of the T 70 perspectives and the certainly uncovered a great angle of Tyra but I would humbly suggest an alternative way to look at this because is assuming that IIT when he says day 100 corresponds to T he doesn't mean that means T because H started with Tish and then when he says day 340 could work in he doesn't mean that he means El that's not what he says and therefore I would humbly suggest that Nissan is the first month of the year and if Nissan is the first month of the year you're going to have to count what day after Nissan is so Ador is the 12th month of the year and how many days in the lunar year 354 and what day is gim 16 days before 354 which is what what's 16 days before 354 338 sh he nailed it 338 how do you write 338 in Hebrew whoa there's a lot a lot of uh miamis there wow render you're there also that's where everyone is in Miami you're listening yeah yeah we're listening yeah I think you have you have better menu than we have over here it looks like we're eating we're eating and we're listening okay good so it's day 338 how do you write that in Hebrew 338 okay hold on to that now when H made the loty the PK says let's go back to the P um we don't have it here it says the the scribes of the king read on the first month on the 13th day um every time the Milla gives us a happening it tells us the month and the day the Mig is very specific in describing and uh recording the exact month and day that things happened it happened in s on the 13th day and S on the 23rd day and when hon made the lottery the P says the first month which is Nissan but what day in Nissan don't say so says the we have a right to assume it was on the first day of Nissan oh if it was on the first day of Nissan and hon cast ladder Lots on the first day of Nissan and it fell at when Yim what day is Yim like she we said 338 16 days from the end of the year oh says the Shem and Ro and we're going to see who else says it we could go back and answer the original question why does it say that hamon sent forth his hand he didn't he wanted to no no it's a remz he put his hand on Day Day 338 that's what it means amazing remes it was day now this is the remes of the Shem and R but you could say further cuz remember we mentioned that when it comes to misappropriating an item B says it's enough to think you want to misappropriate and B says no you have to actually misappropriate so IM according to B on if you're for yeah now the Jews were exiled they're deposited in the hands of the so they're like a p hon is trying to harm them he's according to you're even for SH now even though we pass like b h and we're going to come to this further that's regarding Jews who we want to deal and we pass like but with who we want to deal with them we're going to follow and if if somebody thinks to harm that's already considered and that's another reason it says sh because regarding how we view what a gentile wants to do with us we're going to by the way is also quoted as saying in his that's why it says because at least according to someone who is now watch this this is comes of and writes was a student of R you ever hear ratay ratay was one of the great safic mikal and yeah you need something yeah I Okay so fataya is um one of thef mum actually he wrote uh very interesting spum about reincarnation and and um dreams and we've quoted in the past he's buried on har my grandmother is buried quite next to him he has a nice in fact The Story Goes that when Hitler was approaching to invade the end of the war so many of the went to be the the B is went to to pray at kevel and he comes to kevel and he sees a man with a very snowy white beard of sely looking man he's crying he's crying he says who's that that he said that's the Riff the fat he's also known as the Riff not to be be confused with the the he said he never saw anyone pray like that he said if fataya was in Europe at the start of the war there never would have been a holocaust the guyaba said with prayer like that and ultimately Hitler for a miraculous reason was not able to invade Israel and he quotes that the lottery took place ones niss and it extended for 338 days till when and that is the secret meaning because some ask interesting question why did H why why did he Rejoice that the loty came out in Adar said oh cuu passed away on Z Adar so H have a great idea why don't you make the decree to annihilate the Jews on zad if you love ad because of zad make the decree on Z the answer is he couldn't the lot said 338 he had no wiggle room so says based on this this is the secret of sh is a rem that he sent forth his hand today sh which is day 338 now comes the clb rabba and he says the letter yud in cabala refers to refers to thought that's a idea well documented idea so if you go back to the we mentioned that according to even if you just have so that's the why was hanged because he sent forth his I but you'll ask what do you mean he only thought by the extra represents he's being nailed because he had the thought but you'll ask what we like B says the an amazing idea that regarding PM which we could say this two ways first I'm going to say it my way then I'll tell you his way we've said many times in the that PM is basically such an upside down Topsy Turvy day where when else do you see the sadim leading the horse and the the sadim on top of the horse and the r leading the horse and having garbage on their head that's only in the world to come in this world it's like but p is literally a day out of the future so regarding it's like the is like they regarding the realm of P we're going to but the kenberg says a little differently that in the K of we say how can we Rejoice on Pim so long as the bash is not here M hasn't come which means the main rejoicing on is in the and in that case in the we and therefore that's why it says H was nailed because he planned because he was he only thought to do so that's the symbol of the extra and regarding we're going to nail somebody for the by the way let's just add one more point take a look at number 14 in theit he also brings this idea that day the day that fell out to annihilate the Jews not like theas but in support of our approach day 338 now ham didn't know though how are you going to count day 338 are you going to count from Nissan or you going to count from Adar and that's why he made another Lottery to choose the month of ad now says the uh a beautiful remas We Know by the of the says sh send forth the mother the mother ref refers to the Jewish people sh on day 338 God decreed to send out the Jewish people but because we did because we did CH he took his children back to him you hear the remes sh on day 338 sh he decreed to send forth the Jewish people but because we did he took back his children I would say a little different you ready for this sh on day 3:30 cre he sent us out however but then you know what God did he sent the aim who is the aim the aim are always the redeemers of the Jewish people says the three times in history we were redeemed from Egypt from and God send send and and take your children to yourself so on day 338 he sent us out but then he sent now that's approach number one number two so we have this that he started the lottery on and it would landed on which is day 161 we have our approach which is day 338 starting from and then I came across something out of this world I could not stop thinking about that this week I don't know where it was going to come in and hopefully should lead us in the right direction I realize this is not the only time in this week's paraa we have the expression sh at the end of the par it says that the Nobles of claa the zakim were gazing at God and they were eating and they were drinking and God should have punished them is God did not send forth his hand against the Nobles of Cl even though they were staring at God eating and drinking you like thata only think I got to mute you sorry um isn't it telling that twice in the paraa it says it says by misappropriating a p and you have to swear there you and it says that the Elders of the nation gazed at God and they ate and drank and God did not punish them against the Jews and are the Nobles in the par and looking does the balat say there's a connection no nobody says anything until I found cler says there's a connection between the oath that and but what's the connection and then I discovered now I will tell you that next year I have a whole thing up my sleeve but the reason I'm not telling it to you this year is because it's relevant to a leap year next year is going to be a leap year cuz this whole thing changes then thei says the PM story happened in a leapard which means that even though it was supposed to happen in which is day 338i Mor pushed it off 30 days today 368 so I have a a Shear prepared on the significance of day 368 but it's better for a leap year so let's save it for that this year we're in a regular year we're going to still work with shalak 338 we have R fataya Who learned that way and the the Shem and Ro learned that way and we humbly would like to learn that way as well and the S says let's look at this p number 17 God did not send forth his hand against the Nobles why in the world would God punish the Nobles oh right they G that God they ate and drank P backwards it should say the Nobles they ate and drank but God didn't punish them why would it say The Nobles God didn't punish why would he punish them oh right because they ate and drank and they gazed at him it's a backward P also anybody ever come across the word how many times in do you have the word it's the only time in fact the in Milla says that when the translated the Torah for they changed this word we just had in the beginning of Milla yeah they didn't translate it so what where else do we have there's a concept that the highest in the highest world isus the world that is Yun out from the glory of God himself now how many hours is shabas 24 hours the ARA writes in many places that conceptually shabas sanctity extends 31 hours we've mentioned this in the past does that mean you have to not do Mal but the Kad of shabas it expands an hour of to shabas and then 3 hours before and 3 hours later 31 hours the AR says that through the 31 hours of shabus the the name of God the first name of God of the 13 is kale through the 31 hours of shabas to the 31 um to to the name of kale which is the first name of Hashem and even though during the week the is on shabas we change it into our could be read by eating on chabas by enjoying the chabas by recognizing on chabas that everything belongs to of course like we said last week singing chabas If you attach Al which is God to your shul you get shulan is 388 plus one is God elevates you I believe so we have to say over from now we have the the helps us transform and it turns it into our why because on shab we have a from from the highest realm our shabas comes from there four worlds there's briia each one of these four worlds corresponds to another letter of y the letter Y isos the secret ofma now this is what it means on the Madre ofos why because of shabas and therefore if we're on the madrea of shabis through the 31 hours of shab God could not punish us is gatria Nash 358 well think of it this way excuse me is 358 sh is 358 sh is 338 and Y is 20 sh is the we read the P this way onab were elevated to M how through the 31 hours because of that we were able to overcome the we're able to come so like this through the 31 hours of shabas we reach and therefore had no dominion over us and we were able to eat and drink and gaze at God and it was not harmful by the way the says you know we say in on we say there's a window in heaven called Zar that that's where the sitra is and there there's a hand there that's bent over and when the sitra is strong the hand stretches out and it destroys the bias but says the were protected from that y we have no uh we are not susceptible to the is the how through the 31 hours of chabas through the 31 hours we have kale of the first now the 31 hours of chabas Ends by sh and by the way if you have 13 each one can I get one of the Y 13 * 26 is also sh 338 so the meaning is like this in the end of the par they on the M ofus by the way whyus it was chabas everyone agrees the Torah was given on chabas so through the 31 hours and therefore had no dominion and you could come close to God through eating and drinking but now Mar I think this opens up yet another dimension of the p h was hanged why is tried to what tried to do to is he tried to arouse the sin of like so is a cooping the power of the snake it didn't say he wanted to be sh he is sh he's the embodiment of the snake so how did we overcome him the says that what saved CL in the times of P says it was the seventh day and the Jewish people what were they doing on the seventh day of A's party it was shabas and while the nations of the world were eating and drinking and speaking about l matters clo was having the shab sud and they were saying and they were enjoying the so they were now on the MRE of and when you have fromus you're impervious to what the and what letter of the AL represents the world aboutus the letter that's why in the context of H being the the word by is spelled with an extra y so we have two why there's an extra y one the because H was punished for his like the and we're saying that the same way at the end of the you have from you're impervious to the and the has no Dominion because we're through the 31 hours of shab so 358 H was utilizing the but he was we were impervious to the Because by we had the of by the way one of the reasons why the is to smell for hadasim is to commemorate Esther in connection to shabas because the PK says b says number 23 which refers to Esther and J the post to that is but according to what we're saying it comes out very beautiful that the reason why Esther had ascendancy is through the power of in fact says it was the seventh day and God was over our so shabus is what defended the Jewish people and just like on even though we ate and we drank but we were impervious to the because we had in the times of also even though we were from the sud but it was and in such a circumstance you could be was a fruition of on the m and therefore who had no power over us wishing everyone a wonderful evening tomorrow night already is should to a thank you so much for listening is there a fundamental object to why you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
