Oh yeah.
>> I want to I want to share a question
with the that's bothered that's that's
bothered me for many years a really good
>> Ari share a question that's bothered me
for many years and this year based on
the sh of revisler
based on things he taught us this summer
like like something something hit me and
resonated by me. I I want to share this
with the in paran it's actually a double
par this week
but very short the laning both paras are
extremely short par so even together is
still shorter than many many paras
but initim it's also it's also very very
it's a beautiful para nitim is
mishainu's last day of his life and mish
Raenu's final conversations with us.
Abaka yesterday was complaining to me
about Kylum books that he was a big avid
reader of books about kadum and he
described his own journey. Gandylm books
are complex in the car they were talking
about gadylum books they're complex
because it doesn't for I'm not even
saying it's wrong. It doesn't always
talk about the challenges of the great
person. So they were born brilliant and
are so amazing. So is is there hope to
me? Could I what's the inspiration? I
don't want to imitate them, but I want
my own journey. So good books are
complex. I'm not saying they should
write the challenges. I happen to like I
happen to get from Gdan books. But it's
important to know these were human
beings who faced human dilemma. They
were human. They also were very very
very very big people. And that's of
>> that's inspirational to us. That's very
inspirational to us. Reading about it
sadic is reading about ourselves. What's
in us? What we're sh to do. We're shy to
very big things. To me, one of the the
best part of Gdylan books to me one
person. Maybe the most intriguing and
like wow. There's something about it is
the day of their death. And I've read in
many of the GDA books I read, you know,
I don't know if you're supposed to do
this in a book. at us to skip to like
the dramatic part, but I like I like
reading the day of their death as
something very exalted, very elevated
the day of their death. Nitsavim is the
parish of the day of Mish Rabenu's death
and it's like his last message is you
can imagine it's it's it's an important
thing. What's the message of somebody
upon their departing? Now,
it's an interesting discussion. Haven't
they told you? They waited till the last
day to say it. It's an interesting
discussion. I could My father the week
my father the day of his departure
really was the week of his departure and
my family was with him the last week of
consciousness. It was a very like
lifechanging elevating very special
place. sad and but very very special
very elevated
and parish is goodbye to so I think in a
certain way things take like a
heightened meaning meaning that my this
is what he wanted us to part with and
say one of his last messages of his life
is arvos [clears throat] is y you're
responsible for each other
>> wow
>> I find that cool that sometimes people
look like the reby's job is that his job
is to care. I've been asking like guys
to take responsibility. If you're
comfortable here, help the next guy get
comfortable. I don't look at that as
reserved like that's a a job. People
will say I'm just a bach here. I'm not
no person. It's interesting that
Mishraenu our rebi who clearly assumed
responsibility for Clausro. His party
message, one of the party messages is
assume responsibility for each other
to each other
>> only says to learn Torah
>> only teach only
>> million teachers everybody's teaching
>> that the is share but here here's
final message one of his final messages
is
be responsible for each
Look out for each other each one. Look
out for the next guy. That that's one of
Mishraenu's party messages. Interesting.
Revulba wrote a letter to his family
upon his party and also said to his
kids, look after each other. He copied
Mishra Rabenu. I would picture anybody
who cares about their children that
would be a parting message like take
care of each other. And Ma Rabenu said
to Amisel, be there for each other. I
had this sense, Ellie, when we face the
more anti-semitism we face out there, I
have a sense, let's be good to each
other. Let's take care of each other.
Let's be really nice to each other. It's
It's not so easy out there. Let's Can we
be good to each other? Can we be safe by
each other? Can we I had that sense when
we all had that picture of the hostages,
of the Yid in unsafe places, in places
that didn't like him, that it was just
dangerous. I had that sense. Let's make
our places more safer. Here ID safe
here's loved here. Your mam with you're
safe to mess up. You're safe not to be
perfect. You're safe just to be you. So
can we make a butu's parting messages
was take care of each other.
Responsibility
look after just that's one of my parting
messages.
What I want to share the question Azi I
want to share with the Israel is the
following
on the day of his death says to
this mitzvah Rashi says it refers to to
this
that I am commanding you today that
Hashem is commanding us today
it's not far from you
and it's not very distant
It's not in the heavens
that you should say
who's going to go up there
and get
and I'll be able to comprehend it and
relate to it
and ultimately I'll do it.
I can't it's it's it's too distant says
it's not
don't say this that it's so far away and
I can't relate
it's not across the ocean that you
should say
who's supposed to get it for me
and I could like comprehend it and
relate to it and I'll do it rather
either
it's very close to you in your mouth and
your heart to do it.
So what bothers me for years I'm not
asking last year's cash I'm bothered
again when you learn theseim
and when I read these and I sat down to
learn what bothers me a lot is it
doesn't make sense to talk this way
you don't say
I used this mush before I'm not trying
to ask glasses cash if I'm looking past
ari at the window at the outside
>> the giant
>> and I see something I'm looking outside
and I say, "Is that an ant? It's a
unique ant." Oh, no, no, no. It's not an
ant. It's a bear.
Kaish, are you are you okay? Why did you
first see an ant? And then you saw a
bear. What's happening with you? What
What's Is that an ant? No, it's a bear.
If I say, "Is that a dog?" "No, it's a
wolf." Okay, close. I could hear the
mixup. Is that an ant? No, it's a bear.
What's Kaya? Are you okay, Kish? You
seeing things? Why would you think it's
an ant? And it turned out to be a bear.
There's a line.
Arie says he's curious. What's that
outside? Just a swing of pergul.
[laughter]
>> But whenever whenever there's a line in
the
there's a line, what did you think
initially and what did you later think?
>> Love it. You don't. It's a very weird
statement about
it's not impossible, unreachable that
you would say who could get it. Rather,
it's easy.
>> What would you think that it does? That
statement doesn't make sense that there
was a thought Tyrus completely murder.
If you would say, Ezra, it's not murder
with hard work. One can get it. That
would make sense to me. It's not murder.
It's just hard. It's not impossible. I
know it's hard. You could hear such a
thing. Somebody says on on medical
school, it's not impossible. It's
doable. I know it's hard. That's an to
say don't think medical school's
impossible, unattainable. You can never
do it. Rather, it's like simple.
That's a weird statement. If it's so
simple, why would I think it's murder?
The statement is weird. Asel. If if if
there's a havamine that's murder you
could either say by the way it's not
even a little hard don't think it's even
slightly difficult rather it's easy that
out here somebody might think it's a
little bit hard don't say ty is a little
hard it's mish nothing coming but to say
don't say it's impossible
rather it's easy what's happening that I
would think it's impossible like
it's not a way of talking.
Is it an ant there? No, it's a bear.
What? What? What are you seeing? What
are you looking at? You'd all look back
and say, "What confused you so that at
first you thought it was a tiny hand?"
It's just not a way things work that you
think it's tiny and it's really huge.
You think it's Is that a monster? Is
that a Is that an elephant? Oh my gosh.
What? Oh, I'm sorry guys. It was just an
ant like out of the Huh? Kish, what were
you seeing at first that you were
speculating it might be an elephant?
That would be like more the exact
analogy. If I look past Ari,
oh my goodness, I never saw something
big in my life. Oh, I'm sorry guys. Just
an ant.
Why did you think it was an elephant?
What happened? What were you looking at?
That's literally the sukim here. It's
not impossible. Well, it's not in the
heavens unreachable that you'd even say
who's ever going to access that to me.
Rather, it's very
it's easy.
What are you looking at that you're so
confused? Ellie,
you know what I'm asking?
Hashem says in paren
the last day of his life, he says about
that it's not bashim. It's not in the
heavens and unattainable.
Tyra is not there's some there's like a
thought that Tyra is in the heavens and
you'll say who's going to get that for
us.
Who can go there and bring it to us the
and make me understand it and I'll it's
impossible says it's not true. It's
easy.
It's not up there and unattainable and
unreachable and uncomprehensible.
Rather, it's very simple.
If it was so simple, then I'll find out
it's simple. Like what? Clearly, there
was some thought like it says here.
So, what happened? What's going on that
I think it's impossible? Rather, it's
simple. What's happening? What is it
discussing? What is it describing in
Talmud? and what are we I'm I don't like
pretend Ezra I really want to study
Hashem's words I don't want to like
don't trust me on the cash to me it's a
weird thing to say
>> that was the
hashem says rashi says referring to it's
not in the heavens that you should say
who could get it
who can go to the heavens and get it for
me and I'll understand it and do it.
It's not that way. Rather, it's very
simple.
>> It's more they're like scared of the
angle like when they thought you died
and then they immediately ran to find
something.
>> So much is worried about this weird
>> be scared. Don't go into worry and and
go.
>> So So Dubby I like what Duby says. Dobby
says that there's a there's a thought
that people can go into panic mode, but
won't they see quickly as easy?
>> Well, did they see they didn't see
quickly after emotionally didn't come
back? says always like Dovey says things
people start there's the tendency to
make it it's impossible I'm asking what
is that even that I'm going to explain
Dy because the simple thing is if it's
simple we'll say it's simple then you
don't have to address this
>> in as but he's addressing something
don't say it's unattainable rather it's
easy
>> why would I say it's unattainable if
it's easy
if if if by the way I'm not looking to
make trouble if mishabain would Hey,
don't say it's hard. Rather, it's easy.
I have no problem. It's not even hard.
You might say it must be a little bit
hard. No, it's simple. That makes sense.
The way of talking. I want to share
something. It's going to be easy. Don't
don't worry. It's not going to be hard
to say. It's not impossible, but it's
easy. Like, yes.
>> Talking about learning it or doing the
mitzvah.
>> I'm open to anything.
It could look like it's unlimited
mitzvah and that's really hard to do.
And he's like, God just wants you to do
what he could.
But
>> a lot easier.
>> I don't think here is not saying not to
because he's talking about all of Tyra
and he's saying the entirety of Tyra is
I don't think it's saying don't worry
you don't have to do it all. He's saying
about Tyra, don't say it's impossible
rather it's
so what happened
>> yeah like it's a weird way of talking
like that's that's a big shift from
impossible to easy the but he said don't
say this there was a thought it is he
says it's not in the heavens that you
would say it's unattainable so there was
such a thought he had to address that
that's a weird thing to address that it
might have been a thought. It's
unattainable, impossible, but rather
it's easy. What were you looking at?
It's the same thing
>> that what
>> they said we're not going to ever sin.
We're going to do exactly what it says.
That's the whole idea. But don't think
it's like saying that it's unattainable
for human being to do everything and to
fully never sin. But it's close to you
that it is attainable. You could you do
your best. Then don't say it's easy. Say
then just say don't say it's like close
to you. Say if it said it's not
impossible rather one could do it. It's
a lot of diligence. This won't be easy.
Then I also hear there's a thought that
it's impossible. You're asking so much
impossible.
>> Masan it's not impossible. One can do it
a lot. It doesn't do that. It's not
impossible. Rather it's easy.
>> That's like that's like a funny thing.
And as much as it looked brutally hard,
sensei, it's not impossible. Rather,
it's doable. As a forced question, what
you like? This question troubles me. I
don't think there's a normal thing to
happen to say something's not imp.
It's not impossible. Rather, it's easy.
>> Ellie, you have the question I'm asking.
>> So, I want to talk about something that
Rebesler taught us this summer. I've
spoken about it already this month
because it resonated a lot by me. It
like meant something to me and I want to
share this with the and when Geisler
said this, it very much made me while he
was saying it in real time. I was I
thought about par.
>> Yeah. Wally was saying I'll I'll I'll
tell you what he said that made me think
of
>> we're talking about am I impossible or
easy? Can I ask you a question? Are
people selfish or caring? Wait, what?
>> Have Gler asked this this summer. He
said, "Are people selfish or giving?"
Have all of us I I can't I'm not going
to speak for you. There are times in my
life you look around say everybody's
selfish.
Every there times like similar to David
Ael said, "Everybody's a liar." There
are times in my life you say everybody's
so even the nice guyy's selfish. He's
just trying to be liked. But everybody's
out for themselves. Is there have have
anybody felt that energy in their life?
A sense that everybody's just out for
themselves,
>> Ellie, you've ever had a moment of that
sense?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I'm going to admit I'm going to
admit this guy. I'm not saying you're
experienc I'm not saying you have to
have this experience. I'm saying that I
have an experience in my life. I've
heard people. Has anybody heard people
say this? Everybody just doubting
themselves.
>> Now, there's another thought.
is an amazing world of giving. What's
the truth? It's funny if Gisler pointed
this out that people look at the world
and some can conclude what a selfish
place.
Somebody else can conclude there's a lot
of kindness. That's weird. He pointed
this out. So weird you could look at
this world and see selfish and see kind.
What's the truth? Well, I can tell you
>> but but you could see in general that
the prevalent thing is selfishness where
you could say it's just so much
gisler asked this cash like sim when he
asked it I thought about nit it's not
impossible it's easy he said what are we
looking at a world and some can draw the
conclusion everybody's selfish and
somebody so much kindness here which is
true so this is what Riser said and I I
thought it resonated as a truth
We have Gisler said about Tyra that when
we study something in Tyra, we're
studying our deep space.
We're studying our soul and a space that
we're shy to. That's what we're studying
in Tyra. He quoted a
book of the told of the story of man.
It's our story. It's us itself.
It's us. We're we're we're learning our
deep spaces.
So as follows, I was watching this
summer. I was watching this summer our
guys come back as married. A lot of
marries pop come into Sulam and I like
seeing our guys. I'm going to watch in a
short while. I'm going to watch Ahri
like running after his children
and run these cute. They'll they'll be
sweet like the father. The whole world
will be lucky. I was describing Ari what
he brings to like a weekend to hoodie
last night. I was describing to Ari. I
said I want to describe because he had
told me things about Ari. So I was
validating and agreeing to what he told
me. But Ari, I watch guys in the summer
run after their kids and I appreciate it
a lot. Every single guy Hashem is going
to become a husband and a father and you
access space. It's crazy to be a parent.
My wife worked with guy for eight years.
They would tell good people, nice
people. They would express Rachel, we
don't want kids. Kids, you gotta be
You're crazy. They would say to Rachel,
to my wife, we don't want kids. To
Rachel, we don't want kids. We're
selfish. They were nice people. You're a
kid. You're going to wake up middle of
the night to give up highlights like
you're crazy. You're crazy. The tension,
the energy, the efforts for a child is
nuts.
And I want to express that having a
child helps us access spaces. We have an
is that wants to give that's born to
give. I quoted yesterday
person was created
by our nature were created to give.
That's the just wants to give. Feels
very comfortable giving and sharing.
Feels very energized giving.
said Ref Geisler that the initial space
you'll meet in a person is selfishness.
That's the initial space you and it's
okay. He said it's not a bad thing. The
goal is not to break that. Hashem
actually uses by the way we get married
because we're selfish. It's so cool. We
take care of oursel. We build our ani
and then by the way we expand our ani
>> only because we're selfish.
>> Sure. That's a good thing. We care about
self. That's great. And then we expand
our ani. We find deeper places. I always
like that
the very incentive to give is money. You
think you have your if you're not giving
you're like cut off from so much of
yourself that wants to share that wants
to give. Rev. Geisler expressed that a
person finds the deeper place inside of
themselves and we have to access it not
through trucking any part of ourselves.
It's not by way of our story, by way of
analyzing and figuring out, we find
deeper places in oursel.
>> So I wanted to express Rav Geyser said
that's how it's possible. The way I
understood it, that's how it's possible.
People could look at this world and say
what a selfish place because the
starting point the gimm the bodies of us
at the starting point was not a bad
thing is we're selfish at our starting
point at our initial space. We're very
selfish. Think about anybody dating is
not thinking about giving to her. He
wants to find he's lonely. He wants
companionship. He wants to find a spa
spouse. A guy's not like dating thinking
hey I hope I could be good to her. It's
not what he's thinking about himself.
And then all of a sudden he become
>> no geyser wasn't going that way. He was
like very happy that we're human and
Hashem built us right and the person
wants thinking about themselves but then
along the way of marriage they access a
deeper place all of a sudden the guy
becomes a husband and he starts like
seeing I can expand then he has children
it's wild somebody I don't say be easy
and I don't say parts won't protest we
have to work with ourselves you'll see
the possibility of crazy expansion that
I could be about another and care for
another and take care of another you'll
see inside of ourselves we have such
expansion such a possibility of
expansion of being bigger that's guys
that describe ty if I could say it's
interesting when a guy goes to a
therapist with an issue the therapist
validates
I don't want to say a rebby doesn't
validate because a rebby should validate
as well but a rebby also tells you
deeper spaces it's interesting If a guy
says to his friend, "Have a meaningful
fast." I always think, "What a lousy
friend." Your job is to say, "Have an
easy fast." Clalia's throw historically
says to somebody else, "Have an easy
fast." So green should be easy. People
said, "Oh, it should be easy." You don't
don't get from should have a meaningful
fast. Be quiet. You're my friend. A Rebi
could say to us, "Thid you should have a
meaningful fast." He's accessing deeper
places. There's such a thing. The Reb is
teaching Tyra means teaching the deeper
space. Somebody just told me this
morning somebody broke him bad news and
said to him and he was very upset. The
guy told me I was on the swings. The guy
he said you're not supposed to say Gam
I'll say you you like cry with me like
say some good curses like don't tell me
this and this Gamula.
You're playing my Rebi. Now a rebi could
say there is a space for a rebi to tell
you that you're when the rebi says gamua
he's telling you I want to say deeper
space you're capable of
>> my a relative of mine when she became
from very special person went to
labatureba
and complained that it's not easy that
I'm struggling I just became from and
the rebba said something at the time
right away she was frustrated and later
on she Like love what he said. The Reb
said a yid is from. That's what a yid
is. Four minutes ago. Your you look at
it. My family. We were never from. So
I'm like I'm like this oddball. I'm
trying to be what I'm not. It's so hard.
The Reb said 14 minutes ago your family
was serving Hashem. When she found out
her grandparents were because of the
Holocaust, we lost sight. She saw
pictures of her grandfather was Shid.
She like felt very good and like
resonated what the Reb said. The rabbi
said a minute ago, "Your family was
serving Hashem. That's what you didn't
do. That's what we are." Said, "You look
at it. This so new what I'm doing.
You're just doing what we do, what we
always done." Now, she at first felt
very not validated. And her therapist
would have said, "Oh, I'm so hard for
you. Wow, it must be difficult." And the
Reb was not a was not a contradiction to
that. But you go to the Reb to know, do
I have a deeper space? The Reb said, I
want you to know now. It's not as
opposed to validating. I would want my
rebi to tell me my rebi is a letter say
I go to him for that. The very name rebi
means rav means larger. I want I want to
be more. I want you to tell me I go to
you for that. Your friend should comfort
you in a certain way. In a certain way
I'm not saying how he should say it. I
want my rebi to tell me the deeper
space. I just I literally was at a casta
met with an old derm an old water break.
I literally and he told me something and
I wanted to like I wanted to like tell
him a deeper space and I said I feel so
badly. I really should just be
comforting and he said I don't come to
you. I didn't come to you for that.
Himish said it. You're my friend. You're
not my like I have people to validate.
Now I'm not saying you shouldn't
validate. Everybody deserves validation.
I am saying that people also want access
to deeper spaces
means that I'm capable with work first
feeling frustrated and upset but I could
access I could go to a deep space inside
me that I'm but I have to work for this
it might take a week a month a year 10
years I could access a place in me that
has faith runs the world but mish and
like be comforted and really be in that
space it's a space I'm shy Isn't that
>> I'm sorry.
>> It's bad.
>> I hear I I I never heard that
distinction. I'm I'm willing that could
be says this is the
I hear I he's he's two
I could be I don't know I I I hear what
Rabbson is saying this suga though of
accessing the deeper place is what
Rebesler called Tyra
So I want to express all of a sudden I
think I've shoten theim it says on Tyra
that it's not impossible outside of how
could I access that rather it's easy and
we ask like what's the story why would I
think it's impossible it's easy I think
the answer is there's this place in us
of bad you tell you I I picture telling
a guy in the door about being a father
you're crazy the guy literally you tell
him running after my wife at work had
people who say to be a parent you're
nuts at a certain space you would stand
in us it's like you're out of your mind
that's that space you say this world's
abund it's just a selfish place but we
can access something deeper it takes
accessing the nishama is very subtle and
sensitive and but it's there and it's in
us you see people you see people who
engage in in in parenthood and it brings
something very beautiful out the being a
father. You'll see Sashe. You'll see.
It's crazy. It's crazy. Picture a guy
and and one day he was just take and
then he becomes a parent. I've watched
kids of today who are emotionally
sensitive. They're like amazed. They
can't believe and they like experience
fatherhood. And you watch it. You watch
somebody become a mother. Becoming a
mother is what in her body she gives up
her whole body. Raising a child. It's
crazy. And she's in it's difficult. The
first three months are very hard.
Sometimes the whole pregnancy and the
the the person physically changing
becoming a mama a giver becoming about
another a father like the expansion that
a person fathers usually will operate a
little behind mama mama's body she feels
it quicker the dad slowly becoming a
father becoming bigger thinking bigger
guy becoming a husband first becoming a
husband thinking expanding I have a wife
I have somebody else I giving
becoming larger. It's crazy.
We say we say when a child's born.
Now why is that at 13?
So then the next thing should be good
deeds. We say
in a certain way
in a certain way the level of giving is
after marriage that's like the of the
world I actually saw I I actually found
where it is I saw in a safer I like on
marriage the we always discuss in
yeshiva he says where it is I saw where
it is I have the safe I didn't memorize
where it was this I don't know
But in this safer I have on marriage he
quotes that the
towards a wife it's not the exact words
but he says when we say love your friend
it's talking about a wife
all of a sudden your mom before you're
married you could do nice things to
another but you're dominated with self
of course not a complete expansion All
of a sudden the guy has a wife then
children then he has children then he
has children. Revesi and I have
discussed the topic what a parent being
there for their kids thinking about
their kids the selflessness of a parent
my child my child's needs my child the
worrying about the child for the child
and this this expansiveness of life and
children is a deeper place inside of us
that we could access that we mamish it's
hard to believe you watch it I love
watching and when we access it it's
wonderful and it's energizing So Gisler
described this about finding our deeper
spaces finding our nish finding
something that we're really shy to in
this world that looks so limited. We
have an unlimited the peace of God
that's unlimited that's out of this
world in a world that looks so selfish
with
to be selfless.
So that's what I want to express this
mask. There's a because there's a place
we're in when we're in our body and in
that perspective where we say there's
impossible.
It's like what it's not it's not doable
from this vantage point. It's not
doable.
How am I accessing that? No, it's
impossible from the vantage from the
starting point of g from the starting
point of selfishness of bad of physical
of what I want. It should look
impossible to and hashem has to say it's
might it's close to you. It's in you.
You have it already. You're built for
this. It's not something outside of you.
You're built for this. It's in you.
You're to this. It's in you. Now you
have to find that space. I'm not and we
have to access it through experiences
finding that deeper space.
It's I've heard from Revary Weiss
different times describe to guys like
why don't you see he's somebody in our
world who's an incredible giver. The
generosity is mind-blowing. He describes
to guys like don't you see how much fun
it is, how positive, how energizing it
is to give. He's describing having
touched and experienced deeper spaces
that he's found deeper spaces. And when
I give, I'm like born for this. This
feels right. This gives energy. I was
meant for this. That's accessing a
deeper space. And when you access that
deeper space,
it's close to you.
This is in your mouth and your heart to
do it. Somebody asked me a cash last
night that I liked a lot. Somebody had
an observation and I I this I I'm not
positive. Somebody asked me last night
that in the we say don't
let's not in the heavens that you should
say lamer that would move somebody to
say
who's going to go up to heavens
and bring it to me
and I'll be able to hear it.
Who's going to access that? I could say
neshma means I relate to this. I love
this. It resonates by me. Who's going to
access that? I should resonate vin and
I'll do it.
I want to point out that the thought
that it's impossible is not that I can't
do it. There's my own har
the is not that it's impossible. Doesn't
say it doesn't say who's going to go to
heavens. I could do it. You could do
tyra but I'll always be a robot. I think
many of us have this havina. You know
the rebian like younger says isn't this
gishmach? I always had that I one day
also could be a robot and say that
could I ever be that I could I could
okay one day I'll grind it out and I'll
also be robotic. I'll also grind it out.
But what what the havamina is is could I
ever be that? Could I ever could I ever
like flow in that and I'll just love
this. That's what mamish the words are.
I love the words. It doesn't say it's
not in heavens that who will bring it to
me and I could do it because that I
could do it. I I could do it. I could
just fight and just be miserable and do
it. Theina is who's going to go to the
heavens and bring it to me the
and I'll like hear it. It will resonate
by me and I'll do it that I don't know
if I'll ever this will never be magical
to me. It will never be flowing.
Maybe one day I'll like flip out. I'll
just after I have after I had enough
fun. Somebody once told me, somebody
like accuse the yeshiva that I get your
yeshiva. Let guys party like crazy and
then they get that out of the system.
Okay, I partied enough now. I'm now like
you pay them off enough parties then
I'll do I'm partied out now. I'll do I
got it out of my system.
Yehuda that getting it out of the
system. I promise we're not that's not
the No, that you don't understand the
yeshiva. No, that's not the goal. The
guy partied enough that he's like so
partied out. Okay. So now I y now now I
lock in. Not at all. I actually think
when somebody understands in the space
they actually find that that that wasn't
me in the look. They they didn't like
finish with that cuz I'm partied out
now. I'll lock in. Okay. I got enough.
That didn't work for me. It didn't
energize me. It didn't answer what I was
looking for. And I want the That's a
good question. That's fair. Maybe that's
fair. Yuda, that's I don't know. I don't
know. That's a good question. But very
good question. But but when But a person
comes to a space
a person comes to a space that I found
this is to me. So the I love it. doesn't
say you hear I'm saying the doesn't say
who's going to get it and I could do it
doesn't say that I could do it says but
I'll never who's going to access it to
me that it will be meaningful to me
>> wow
>> meansma that it's via who I want to do
it in a way that I'm like charged that I
like I love this I want this I need this
this is my life and I'm like this is
this is me me is this this is like
magical to me that's the havina that
that it's in shm I can't access who's
going to bring that to me who how is
that going me and this are so dist who's
bridging that gap says
now it's interesting when it says it's
says
it's in your heart it's in your mouth
and heart to do it
now it doesn't say the that's what it
means your heart mouth to do it means
you were born for this
the exact words mean you will find that
you there's a that I'll never be magical
I'll never and that is very much in the
space of go if you're not aware of your
nishama and you're at a very superficial
view of a person you will look that way
look to be a giver I don't know all my
thoughts are about me you'll access a
deeper space says this will never be
magical. I'm never being that guy giving
doing
deep in the shad of things. I'll never
be that says Hashem you were meant for
this. I really put an in you and you'll
access it. You'll find an you'll see and
you'll access spaces. I was born for
this. I relate to this a lot in the So
I'm using parenting. I relate to that a
lot that a youngster would think about
being a giver and a parent and if he's
logical be like I don't know great to
see welcome home moi
[applause]
>> Ari do you like what do you hold
>> this this idea you you heard the rabbis
say it with me in the summer in the I
think like it makes a lot of sense to me
in theukim
I wasn't so
>> Well, you didn't like the question so
much.
>> That's fair.
>> Just bothered by that like extreme
statement. It's not impossible. Rather,
it's easy.
>> That what
it seems like it's impossible.
>> Just would be funny. Why would such a
thing be? What would you ever describe
that looks tiny and really it's huge?
Looks huge as tiny. Well, this has to be
something you'd experience that would
make you see it as huge. So, it's a
weird it's an oddity. If you'd say it's
not the biggest thing, it's just big.
You'd say it's not it's not unseeable.
It's just tiny. That's like hava
mascana. It's not like a thing we can
see. If you strain hard, you'll see it.
That would like make sense to me. But to
say it's not huge, it's not impossible.
rather it's easy what changed I'm just
describing what Geisler said about about
Tyra that it's our deeper spaces and
described that a person can access
deeper space when you're in the space of
go giving is like crazy you're
to be a parents but when I access deeper
spaces you find mom is born for that
we're born to share to give we have
those deeper spaces
>> the whole entire part of deeper space
going to I feel it's like not like
almost like a smack in the is like
sitting in a pain with another Y like I
feel your pain like that entire thing of
like I'm coming before I am but like
that before that there's a space I'm I
feel your pain
>> cuz there's an entrance where I think
we're supposed to feel we we were given
a goof for a reason you're not supposed
to truck the goof
>> right but when you go when you said
about going to Arabia they want
something deeper than just validation
>> true but I think that's something to get
to and like just like bad with him
>> I agree I'm not saying a rebi I'm not
like pasing I think there's a space in
going to a rebi that you want him to
tell you about a deeper space that's all
I'm saying but I'm not even discussing
how to get there how that works how that
looks but I think what were you saying
Ellie
>> there's more space for friends
situation
>> I was saying like a friend who says a
meaningful fast I always think that's
weird he's your friend just tell him an
easy fast a rebi says a meaningful fast
I want a rebby to tell me at a
meaningful fast he's telling me deeper a
rebi is telling me what we're sh to I
don't mind a rebi tells me that almost
doesn't validate a rebi could say or
like
a friend feels your pain I'm not saying
a rebi shouldn't feel your pain but that
a rebi introduces a deeper space that's
why I went to the rebi I want to find I
want he's my rebi I want to find what's
rebi what's you know people even say to
you what's
You're saying what's the deeper space?
Now a friend shouldn't tell the I want
to tell your deepest fear that we have a
s in us. We have what we're experiencing
and then we have what we're sh to
where's hashem bring me I'm asking my
rebi to try to help me where hashem's
bringing me that's what I'm saying now
the rebi if you're early stage you go to
your rebby I don't want you as my rebi
right now could you be my friend for a
few minutes and like we can feel
together but I'm ultimately want want to
find my deeper space what this is
bringing me where I can access how I can
access that anyway
>> [snorts]
>> Wow.
>> Ari, could you relate to that? That
aspect that someone speak to a Revy
could almost get away with demanding
something in a difficult situation even
though some I I'm thinking of a certain
story with my father where he like
showed me a deeper space and it wasn't
like hurtful. It wasn't what did you
say?
>> He wouldn't say any question,
>> right? He happened to be wouldn't say
I'm talking about a certain question I
asked him and he told me a deeper space
I wanted that from him somebody else
would say that what are you doing like
just well I'm in a tough pickle like
understand me the deeper space we go to
somebody to ask that's why I'm asking
you I want to know the deeper space
I've se I've seen this I've seen this
>> the I think I don't know I think a lot
of times like we demand the guy to find
a deeper space within him and not just
telling him deeper
Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. That's
Yehuda is saying there's a danger.
That's why I'm not saying how the Rebi
will do this. The Rebi tells him the
deeper. You have to find it and there's
a journey and if it's there, be
confident to find. I'm not talking how
to do it. But I think there's an aspect
of a Rebi. I say Reb, let's study. Could
we study? That's what people say. What's
my aid? What's I want to study with you
where I could go and how I could go
there and what would it look like?
Almost the Rebi won't tell you to go
there. I could almost you almost see in
your rebby what it means the deeper
space that's what moves you to begin
with that he's functioning that's
>> there's a space in what I'm claiming is
that in the space in g we're selfish
we're distant from things like that so
that's the h it's impossible this will
never resonate by me I'll never be a
fire in doing this at the very best I'll
be a force chilling it says
you could like flow in this can anybody
here to me this p became thank you the p
like became magical because it's this is
like something many of us think about
will I ever will I always be just a
forest in doing this or will I flow in
this and that's precisely what the are
telling us yeah if the does the mind
could we sing would it be like corn if
It's corny. Maybe we should do it. Maybe
not. Could we sing kar?
That's like way too corny. Did you sing
carv last night?
Let's do it. It's the parach carv too
corny.
>> It's not corny.
