okay BR welcome friends and uh before we we part today we're going to uh learn and study a few important insights on that are also connected to par V uh every week we learn from the uh Gateway toila each week we have the Gateway toila Series which are which is dedicated by my dear friend RAB Rose and Family's brother should be a for his whole family i'ed this week's not only is it on uh sh but it's also on and as many weeks as we as we've been studying sh there are always new insights I want to thank my friend re anel a friend for sharing me with me this uh Insight of Rabel and R Angel uses this insight to explain a very interesting uh aspect of Paras learns and this was his uh one of hisel says that was a revelation of the unity of God now we tend to think because we don't really study the concept the unity of god let's say in there's we don't really study that we don't have the in ual capacity and profundity to understand the concept of the unity of God but we're about to learn something incredible we tend to think that God's Unity is a facet of his existence or a facet of God's reality un God's Unity is not a facet of his reality God's Unity is his Essence the teaches in says in God's reality and his Unity are one where do we see that look no further than the PK hasem Hashem here o Israel Hashem is our God Hashem one why are we saying Hashem one the iban Ezra asks the shame Hava is God's Essence could you say ruin is ruin one Hashem isem you could say Ru is one but you're not say Ru is Ru one you're not going to say shim is shim the one so we already said Hashem why do we repeat again Hashem before says thez with the point of repeating hashem's name is that the shame which is God's Essence that itself is the unity God's essence is his Unity that's the concept Unity is not a feature it's not a facet it's not an element it's not a aspect it's the essence when the Tyra says in the do you ever hear that expression it's a he took us out literally before him it does not mean before him beov means with his his Essence p is his his Essence like theim says when we say you can't see God's face what does it mean you can't see God's face he doesn't have a face it means you can't understand his Essence means you can't understand God's Essence that's what it means he took us out be fun of his Essence took us out that the that's why by didn't say he said friends what's the difference between and the says the difference between an and an is an is I an is the my atmas took you out my my Unity this is what it means in meaning besides my Essence here it is we're all believing and observant Jews we think we're learned but we may never have known what does the word essence mean what does panai mean panai means God's essence amazing that's what we say in the now this is very interesting the highest level of a person's reality of the nees we know we have NES is the highest level of the soul the highest level of the nees is that's the essence of a person the more internal something is the more it's in most people the of is hidden by MOS it's revealed that's why mosha had a separate from his wife so bya the was revealed therefore he M understood in his reality the that's why we say means he knew God's Essence no other na'vi was commanded to separate from a woman because M was the only one who was revealed to him the of his called therefore he understood the of I if he understood the essence of hem why does it say you will not see my face you will not see my Essence I thought mha understood the essence of hem he knew it but he couldn't see it he knew it but he couldn't see it there's a difference between let's say in the laws of R A conceptual R and a statistical r so knowing is different than seeing ah so says with all of this we can understand what the Mets says that when it came time for M to die said behold your days have approached to to die so MH says why are you bringing about my demise with the word haa says I praised you with ha like it says what does that mean I praised you says Engel the praise of hem is how you serve him the aid of hasem the avoid of is the way is hashem's praise served hasem with his and therefore if that was how M served him that was the praise of hasem so M says Hashem I served you my whole life with the that is how I praise you the goes on to prove that the way we serve hasm is his praise like any is a praise to like the says in okay in that case you know the word h refers to one in the gamar says the word h in Greek means one like in the PK that only fear of God is wisdom h means one so says I praised you with one meaning I serve you my whole life with my which is now death says Angel is the antithesis of unity now this is a very philosophical concept thatle speaks about at length R Angel has a major essay on the concept of means things that are secondary meaning like superimposed external not unified death is the separation of from of objective from raw material so was basically saying I strove my whole life to serve you with and now you're bringing about the opposite of to that hasem responded but you said about means one what was saying is it's not just the Jews happy not to be listening to you God was saying they in essence don't listen to you they don't listen to you at their core they are a reality of not listening to you was not that it was because of coincidence or happen stance he thought that the reality is they don't listen so he criticized their Essence so said because you criticize the essence CL Isel you are punished in your essence that your will not have the capacity to prevent your which is your but what we take from here is a few very important when we say number one the is not a feature component an aspect but's is his is his Essence the word in refers to God's Essence God took us out with his essence you cannot understand my Essence likewise I that's the essence of that's what it means he had a certain comprehension of the essence of dear friends I wish you all a beautiful shab see you yes how are you we learn many yes
