109: The Holy King (and I) (Yamim Noraim Tefillos Pt. 4)

hi this is doug dolowski and welcome to the ravioliski show welcome to have you for this continuing series on how do i make the rosh hashanah yum kipra davening meaningful to me particularly if i'm going to be darkening by myself so even if you're not i assume some of these insights are probably worthwhile wherever you are whatever you're doing so i mentioned uh normally in the amida during the weekday during uh during shabbos during yantiff the first three brachas are the same the last three rockers are the same only the middle changes and rosh hashanah yam kippur that's also true except the third bracha changes in every one of the davenings chakras [Music] what changes is the third brah so obviously this changes even during the week says maichuba instead of hokkaido we go but where the entire text changes and becomes different so we're going to look at that today now there's a lot of different profession who explained it in a lot of different ways i'm giving you one perspective it is by no means the only perspective now this is true all the time not just you this uh this is always a uh uh the opening what does it mean you are holy your name is holy and the holy ones um uh praise you every day yeah so your holy your name is holy what does that mean the ramban says uh that the entire torah was just letters obviously it wasn't pre-written when it says the torah existed 2000 years before creation it's obviously not the book that we have today because if that existed then we would have to believe in great greek fatalism and adam and chad had no choice but to eat from the hates of us and uh and moshe had no choice but to hit the rock and the moraga made no choice but to come back with a legal report none of that is true at each point in history everyone had choice so what does it mean it all existed as letters the letters had to be arranged this is what rashi says in bizarre black fire on white fire what does that mean so fire is something that is doing something existing it's kinetic earth is not necessarily right neither is water air these things can exist in a passive state fire has to be kinetic uh fire in a non-fire state is called wood yeah it's nothing so i understand the letters is black fire what's the white fire it means the spaces gave the letters new meaning because the letters only existed and says ramban and his introduction all of the letters could be arranged to spell the names of god because antarctic you in your essence are holy now get get just a bit philosophical right the universe when i say the universe i mean let's go down we go down to uh molecules we go down to atoms we go down to electrons and other subatomic particles and quarks and all the way down to the essence now let's build back up and eventually we come to the earth then you move to the solar system and we know that the earth the context of some of the planets and solar systems are nothing and then you have the sun and the solar system and then you have many many suns and all of them joined together into a galaxy that we have so many galaxies in the entire universe beyond our ability to comprehend and you have to look at that entire universe as the tiniest little speck in existence and all around it is non-existence what does that mean it means that it's something that's not run by time and space right einstein taught us that there's a relation between time space and matter so outside of this little thing called the universe is something where there's no time no space and no matter we can't wrap our head around that it's just too hard infinity is is a little tough i once heard dr gerald schroeder say that a monkey will never design a computer chip he just doesn't have enough connections in his brain to be able to think that up he says we can't grasp infinity since we just don't have enough up here to be able to you know synapses to comprehend the idea of infinity so uh but atokadosh means this is the this is the world and outside of that is a kurdish borough but we don't understand what that means and that's why in the first bruce when answered you say god who is great who's powerful who's uh or inspiring keller young and just beyond anything that i can't even talk about because you're totally out of this world i can only say those words say the gemara because moshe vanessa said it so but uh but we're describing how we perceive by cuttersburg essence and how you manifest yourself in this world what we call the names of hashem yudkevke which represents um elokim which represents judgment and all the other names of a kurdish miracle they represent different forces at play which are describing how we perceive high quality those are the names of hashem but really hashem is way beyond anything that we're going to come up with the angels yeah and that's usually where we stopped there's different ways to understand this the guru has one way the uh the entl is a different way but put fear on everything that you've made called mashable another word for fear on everything that you have created and uh all of your creations will fear you the ish and all the creations will bow down to you so there's different ways of understanding it like i say some of them are directly contradictory but i'm going to go with one of them is the work of your hands mashapura says everything that you made but the things that you make they have a they have a higher sense of understanding on everything you've created it's a it's a different level of fear there's there's a fear that comes out of or and there's a fear that comes out of being frayed when there's somebody great you're an aura of them but you're not afraid they're going to do anything to you right i uh used to give the marshall that a kid gets up to give their little devotor at the shabbaton and suddenly yosh walks in scheinberg walks in [Music] no you're not afraid that if you sound stupid they're gonna come over and slap you in the face you just don't sound stupid because i'm in so much respect i have such awe from these people and then there's afraid i'm afraid i'm gonna get punished which uh the rambam says is yurasa anish fear of punishment that's for uh the unlearned little children people don't know any better i do afraid someone said to me i picture god on a mountain holding a lightning bolt i said that's zeus you're not even up to monotheism yet you've got zeus on mount olympus with his lightning bolts but uh so there's different levels and the rest of the creations they'll bow down don't bow down they they may not know how to express it but they're in the sense that there's a power that's greater than them that's what rosh hashanah hashem is going to be the melech we want everyone in the world to recognize that there is this unbelievable power that exists in the korean [Music] regardless of their level of understanding their level of knowledge their level of commitment where do you find the mitzvah of a good or the dark meaning take the lula if you take the asterisk you take well you don't take the answer you think of the hadas you tie them together and you hold it together with the estuary and it represents four different types of juice yes it's a nice smell and a nice taste um the date palm the dates have a nice taste the myrtles have a nice smell and the aromas the willows they have nothing they represent jews some have mitzvahs some have torah some have both them have nothing and you tie them all together by a good ashas and that's what we want to rosh hashanah is that we should become one people united and the recognition of is not the time when you want to be on the outside is the time when you want to have hakura's baruch recognize that we are all one people united in one common goal to make hashem the malach to put the crown on the head of akush baruch that he should be the one who runs the world fabriator look at yeah we're your people and you are god where your subjects you are our king yeah because that doesn't give you malchus can only come from the people like power to control everything you already have might in your hand and strength in your right hand okay by by power of elimination if guru is in your right hand then the o's is in your left hand what's os oz is also power but gevura is power of control azahu gebor who is strong someone who controls himself and so hakura's borough whose right hand which is the stronger one has the gebura to be able to hold back the judgment ohs the power yeah the the it's related to the word as [Music] that kind of power that's in his left hand it's not as strong as the ability to control it trust me if a qrishbaraku ever let his den loose in the world as we know from the rashi the beginning of the torah the world would cease to exist so there's always but the stronger hand has the gerburra i'll call marsha and everything that's been created is inspired by your name or in spite naira look how awe-inspiring this is so all creations are going to recognize that who's greatness that's our hope on rosh hashanah that's how we recognize what kurdish borough is and we talk about his holiness we ask have everybody recognize you he tells the russia shiva was being pulled out by the nazis to be killed when they had him outside he hit him in the head with his rifle butt and he fell to the ground bleeding and the nazi laughed and said where is your god now he says he's not my god he's your god too and one day even you'll recognize that it seems almost amazing but there will come a day [Music] yeah everyone would recognize that cooksboro so that's the first part first part is put that or put that fear put that recognition into everybody and then what's the jewish people's role to lead everybody in spirituality give honor to the jewish people so that people can begin to recognize that we have a message for the world to heal praise for those who fear you but not fear you aren't all of you and we're your people and give good hope to everyone who is searching for you uh and open up the mouth give a a piss clean pizza an opening for us to speak on our behalf this is the first paragraph i was talking about that everyone should recognize that there's a miracle even those who don't the second one is now those people the jewish people who are searching for you who believe in you who are i've i've been your people through thick and thin assassins [Music] happiness to your land israel and saw sign the iraq and joy to your city yerushalayim is happiness sasan is above that yeah happiness is um is to be comfortable copacetic at peace everything's good is a high and the city is high yerushalayim is seen as being the highest place in the world i it's not the himalayans are but if you turn the globe a particular way you'll see that you know schleim will be on the top and that's the way a kurdish barricade looks at the world english language at the top of the world it's the center and you go up to it [Applause] it's attached as you shall i am above and he was lying below and the two of them are attached the ladder with the angels going up and down the connection that's the city mitchell i am ear the lotion of our to wake up wakes you up that's where there was a mitzvah that got usual in three times a year it was to rejuvenate years ago when people used to fly on airplanes and if you remember this there was a time and uh so you said people would come to a shell just so they could go down with the coast let's go down to the western wall as often as they could to davin to get rejuvenated to you know just to soak in the experience i heard a story the baba sally who lived in barsheva every now and then he would have his driver drive him through shalom and park the car and he would sit in the car and learn and then take him back to beshear happiness there itself and joy to your city english line was a very intense experience not everybody could handle usually yeah they said there was a place outside of usual line where you would stop to clear your mind meditate before you entered into the city you shall lie yeah so give happiness to your land cersei because this is what we're saying so after everybody recognizes that let's turn to the jewish people whose job it is to lead everyone to spirituality let's rebuild the base of mikdash because i'll say if the nations of the world knew what they lost when they destroyed the base of migration they would have run to rebuild it that's for a longer discussion the difference between the planting and between the candles but both of them are telling us the same idea and that is that we want to see the mashiach in urushalayim the base of mikdash yeah the maokus back down here because the mouth is down here teaches us about the malchus up in shamayim i may have told this story years ago my friend told me that he was driving with maisha shapiro uh when he was in london and he said he wants to see buckingham palace so he says rebbe you want to see the changing of the guards he says no i just want to see buggy and bounce so he drives in there and he stands by the gate with his head turned to one side listening for a long time he picked up his head and he said there's not a lot of king shapiro so he told me that story i said i could have told you that just read the tabloids and i was then like you know when you have meghan markle as part of the world family going off to l.a you know i mean you know doing their own stuff you know and all these kind of things prince andrea and heartbeat because i could have told you that she says no who reveals his meda of his idea of kingship in the world through kings and apparently the english royal house is only an echo of an echo of an echo of an echo from the days of henry viii you know what can i tell you there's only the tiniest bit of malchus that's that's still that still can be heard through this assuming you can hear these kind of things yeah but we bring back hamashiach in jerusalem [Music] so each one sadiq will be happy the isharim will be happy a different expression of it yagilu will close its mouth the kaha russia and all of the evil will vanish vanish like a puff of smoke kisa michelle is because the evil empire will be have removed from the world so what does that say you say it is yeah all the evil disappear like a cloud like a puff of smoke what does that mean it's not real evil is an illusion nobody really wants to do evil anymore right at the beginning we say everyone is showcasing means he did it uh not on purpose nobody's amazing no says the only reason that we do anything wrong is because of the sahara and the sheba malkies the nations of the world who have control over us but that's not who we are and that's not who we want to be we're sucked into the illusions the clouds the smoke sound and fury and signifying nothing and all of evil vanishes like a prophet smoking once the source is going and whether it means the kingship of the satan the eight sahara or whether it means the kingship of the nations of the world which is the two things that cause us to sin once they're gone all sin will disappear none of it represents us none of us when we die and get up to shamaya but we don't have a yate sahara we don't have the nations of the world on top of us no one's going to be plotting like satan in paradise lost how to overthrow god and take over heaven all of us want to do what's right that's every single jew everybody wants to do what's right and so everybody's going to be happy that sadiq the isharim the khasid they're all going to celebrate they're going to sing because the zodian will be gone why because we're going to replace it with the malchus hashem we're going to replace it with malchus mashiach we're going to replace it with a kingship as a message for us and for the world and then you alone will rule over everything there won't be anybody else hashem has the mouth the nations don't recognize him but he's still a martial he still runs them but there'll be a time when everyone will recognize him as the melech he's not just my god he's your god too and one day even you will recognize [Music] from generation to generation and we finish up the bracha you're holy and your name is awe-inspiring now rashi says a number of places kadosh is always to take away right truma is kadash because you're mafish you mafish the truman you take it away is taken away lahavdila kadesha who is a professional woman yeah so she's set aside for this purpose and then it's kadosha something that's been separated precious kadoshanti you says rasheed preach be separated in your essence you are out of this world the noir is where god manifests in this world that's naira that's what yaakov says when he realizes and hashem appears to him [Applause] the way you show yourself in this world there is no here it doesn't mean god it means force the word el in hebrew is a force it's it's it uses it is a god but it's a it's a force there's no other force besides you that's how voters are got started by the way voters get started that people wanted to serve god's servants the sun the moon the wind the stars but the fact that you're serving it means that you think somehow it has independence outside of the government's barracuda when the when the king hands me a gift i don't praise his hand thank you hen for giving me this gift that's ridiculous it's the king who gave it to me so when you look at all the manifestations they're all run back who are his messengers that's all malachi is the messenger they're all working on his behalf but they don't have independence outside means that hashem controls all of the forces he will be sanctified in charity he's going to do good to us and when he does that he's praised and by the way it said that cuts both ways mishpa cuts both ways when the mushroom get punished and the tadi can get rewarded is mishpat in that his judgment is truth he is the melo in this world and that's what we want when we talk about god's throne of glory that means that god can sit in this world and the earth it says is his footstool means that he's in this world a molecule it says wanted to chase god out of this world so his throne is not complete because he can't sit in this world but on rosh hashanah we try to fight those forces that's keeping out of the world and make him the king of the world who's in a position then to be able to um bring the world back to its completion and its purpose which is ultimately what those of us the jewish people are trying to accomplish as well okay that's it for this time and uh we'll have some more coming up soon i hope and uh i hope this will add to your pressure shutting
