33: When the Shefa opens

hi this is Deborah Levski and welcome to the rabbi Orlovsky show and whether you're watching unto her anytime or wherever you watch her listen to podcasts we're happy to have you along and what can I tell you after our special pace of program the this show has just been growing to the point where you as you can see that the words are jumping off the paper and can't even stay yes within one little piece of paper so we're back to a regular schedule and it's so nice to have you all on board you'll be watching this I assume mode see yontiff and we're getting ready for the next the next Perisher and we're getting ready for its first i'll a mare which we started already and I hope that all of you are still in the camp somebody told me that they went to a second Seder here a night show I mean the whole thing was a big ball of God and they ended up leaving before the end and they forgot to count sphere assignment they missed on the first night I was in drool once where someone went over as a joke to somebody in the first night they said so you still in the count he says what do you think I'd mess it up on the first night yeah and then Rob said to him you said first night yeah it's Yama HUD so you can't you can't get with a brother tonight it's amazing you know that usually we don't mess up in the first week you know it depends sometimes called married people get permission a little bit you know mmm it happens I saw this thing where they have all these little apps to remind you to count sphere and somebody rodeo is this great new program they made to remember sphere as OMA it's called Myra for the minion but last thing we want to do is be cynical right but yeah if there you have to try when people mess up it's usually the kind of thing where you're in you're in shul and they're counting and they say tonight is 24 and you're like no it's 23 that's that's when you realize oh you know we drop the bull usually people miss the count because you know they come into shul and they're counting 24 and you're like isn't it 23 tonight miss the yeah thank you you at some point missed that count gets a little tricky before I forget we have a sponsor this week for this week's podcast and we don't know this is the woman who actually does that captioning I mentioned this all the way at the beginning that there is a certain percentage of the hearing impaired community who follows the salon and they watch it on YouTube where there's an option for captioning and even though I enunciate beautifully nonetheless iTunes or whatever it is a YouTube is not as smart as I am and so they put in some crazy translations and we have someone who volunteers to go through the entire podcast and fix all of the captioning for the hearing impaired community and she is sponsoring this week's not enough that she gives to the community she's also sponsoring this episode and honor of her husband Dan's birthday so that's that's terrific we wish I only could both of them good good year is good you know Sholem bias and and Brooklyn at slogan par Noah and Suresh Okayama and your sham I'm all that good stuff my I want to give a quick little shout-out to my daughter-in-law who also just celebrated her birthday the Shabbos and I don't know if I'm supposed to say what what year it is but suffice to say that she's she's you know she's still very young and vibrant and nonetheless celebrating a birthday going forward and we wish him many many more and another 90 years whoops anyway if you can do the math but anyhow this is this this is tremendous phenomena where things started out being sort of like cute and then they took on this status becomes bigger bigger than anything else somebody said I got an email a friend of mine I was a master mechanic and he sent it out to a group of friends of his who are behind him and he says that is min aghh this girl told her this is mimic that from Chris and Magilla until hot sauce you should say to him and he said to have this email and he says I don't know than anybody was see such a thing there was nothing done um one of the poems where I went to it my she Shapiro I said you know now they have this thing this yeshiva moto Caillou hoody everybody to go and learn Torah with their children I said I don't remember that being part of part of poor so he says it's not it's not that's not what that's not the mid to say yeah so you know so I mean how come come up you know means come along so there was this position min egg that has now become de rigueur and coach whistle Carla for the Shabbos after Pesach now those of you in Hood florets it's this coming Shabbos for those of us in here it's well we are behind Oh actually we're ahead this is always messy and this happened happen last year too whenever it comes out like this year first day of yontiff comes out on Shabbos we have this problem because she shall press up that's what we haven't heard so Patricia paisa the problem is that this year at least for us she mean you shall pay yourself it shops so we have to stay pay select another day that's our what flourish meanie show Pesach for us is bringing the Shabbos and that's a problem because there that we're always one parsha ahead if I go to hood slides during these weeks so they're laning what I already laying the week before and when I come back to it so it mr. partial so it's a little difficult to coordinate that so we the first showers have to pace up to move on we did not do this and that is of course Russell kala where you make kala there's three min argument we do all three of them yeah not because it's not a minute I went to a little fishing issue but it's interesting I went to a little fishy right they didn't do an option didn't do it option my wife comes from a seditious stock she says of course look you're doing up sure I said not Dominican my yeshiva yeah so she said to me says you know what you can cut his hair but nobody will play with him religious coercion so critical glances sense of humor and except for my first time my other two boys they had like no hair when we did the up share and it was like with tweezers and a nail so protocol works all these things out but so now it's Alisa Kahlo which is a physician medic people take it very seriously so there's three things you can do you can make your kala and poke it with a key you can actually wrap a key and put it inside and this is a school uh for partnership particularly for dentists because when you break your teeth on the key so then yeah you're going get some dental work and the federal one is you make it fella actually in the shape of a key yeah let's color it's after Pesach it opens up the doors of paranoia whatever it is so but it's cute because people people go and they at least gives people an excuse to bake solace if they don't usually did it except of course here Nets Joe I never saw this in America but no no it's show they put stickers on everything it's an flr cabeza this was big after they saw or ground after paisa by the flour and it's a tremendous amount of work putting those stickers on everything that's in the store this is no way that you face our hands you walk in the next day and there are thousands brats all ground and baked those few hours call me cynical but but yeah beautiful it basically means that we are out of paisa and we are now in the sphere summer mode and people have admitted not to listen to music that's why when you're in my age group this is one of the happiest times of the year yeah the only happier time is the three weeks because music and since they stopped making Jewish music I don't know how many years ago it was so you know a little bit of a break from that stuff is is actually you know relaxing they come out with these cassette tapes it sound exactly like real music and I wonder if we're if we're doing ourselves a favor with these kind of things basically it's an addiction it's another addiction people can't go without their music have to have their music blasting and people can't play music you have to blast music and people literally grow addicted to it they don't know how to go without it yeah and I'm not judging it's just a Mattias just seems to me that the more that we become dependent on things it's it's not a good thing dependency I don't think is such a good thing there was one summer I remember get up one morning and somebody started to say something that I said I can't I can't talk to you and talking about a cup I have to have a cup of coffee I didn't like the way that sounded so I made my cabal Aurora cello I'm not drinking coffee until after until I have TM Kippur now what I didn't take into account is that include sleeveless which people get up early we're not used to getting up early without the benefit of caffeine I mean some people just seem carrying around these gigantic cups of coffee just to get through the day some people never bother to put a caffeine drip right into their arm and take it with them wherever they go it's uh it's a challenge I'm not going to say no it's a it's a challenging experience but I didn't like the fact that I thought I have to have a cup of coffee people have to listen to music they get a term I'm not saying they learn it here but just I can't but I can't live without my music yeah it's uh I mentioned this before well I think maybe I'll even the first podcast they did a study around the world of a thousand students this wasn't a Jewish study and they took students off of all of the technology and they suffered the same withdrawal symptoms as people coming off of cocaine and heroin so that's that's an addiction it's an addiction you gotta wonder you have to wonder how addicted I am to things and that's part is for assignment we're gonna talk about that in the weeks ahead but part of it is that I have to prepare myself for Kabbalah cetera and there's a preparation now some people say you know how do you prepare yourself with learned Tiger so it's a little tricky because how could learning turd be the way that I'm a Kabul Tiger yeah so you could argue that they got submit sir said Maura for them to be able to learn learning was part of that whatever but there's obviously a special kind of a preparation that goes in during the weeks of summer to be able to get it there's a process now of course we observe certain laws of availeth and there a different man Hagen some people keep the first 33 days some people keep the last 33 days some people keep the middle 33 days and those are the health of valence that are being kept if the reason for the valence is because of the 24,000 tell me them to rebbi akiva who died don't we know whether they died at the beginning the younger at the end of the arm or the middle of the younger that's a problem but probably it's not they're not arguing in Macias about a historical fact what happened and what didn't happen could be that that we're deciding where to put those days together but there's a interesting thing they died for 33 32 days and on the 33rd day they stopped dying this by the way his podcast number 33 coincidence I don't know but they died for 32 days they stopped 32 bergamot RIA is color Llano again covers Ella's and they didn't show covered Henschel honor to each other 17 that leave this taupe that's for actually moat for a bigger discussion but but there's a sense now of being able to work on obviously our coven work on our meet us and well talk about some of that in there like I mentioned in the the weeks ahead as we get ready first for assignment but as we're coming out of the first week and we want to open up open up the gates of Sheva I know how many of you had this question everybody Shapiro but he was extremely down-to-earth he was very very accessible but like all great people he was not that completely I completely hear what what they should it's an amazing thing you know and in Hollywood and politics and these kind of things they show you this image and the person behind it really is not live up to that there was a famous comic actor I might mention his name but when I was living in LA I was flying back from New York to LA and I mean he was sitting mate he was joking with the other passengers and this man he was just very friendly when he got there his luggage was going they lost his luggage and he was not a happy camper it was a completely different person than the person you had seen before so my Godot liter is the exact opposite they limit what they allow you to see and underneath is something very special kind of time at a river of Lanka and and he told once you know knock him go he wouldn't agree to take any position only this Amish taking care of this role and and after everybody left he would close all the shutters he was saying that all the time he was a little boy he was wondering what is he doing because he agreed to teach anybody even if there have any money so he took him - a Tomlin funny what is he doing here he hid behind the benches and after everybody left close everything up but he took out a safer I've cut bulla and he started learning it and he was suddenly engulfed in flames how but I'm said I had to hold myself back from screaming so someone told the story over to Roberto bear and he says imagine that the hobbits climate that young age was on the level to be able to see those spiritual flames the Gemara mentions it to verse other places but not everybody's ready to see it you have to be on the level to see so the boy says they're not gonna tell you this but a story so absolute have a climb said this was one of the top me them said you know Rebbe I did the same thing I serve her be walking off into the woods and I followed followed him and I saw Rebbe draw a circle and stand in the circle and you said a coach berroco what I'm asking for now is too important and I'm not leaving until you say yes and you stood in a circle in your Darvin then after while you left how did you know you to feel it was answered all the time didn't say anything so there are people who can come across to us as regular people but there's really more anyway I heard this story a self seagull told it over in his son's bris he had one boy and and kingda bar mitzvah and he was very close to him i submit my show wasn't able to make it so he sent him it's right I don't have any hack buddies you know he says don't worry I'll come to the next one he said there is no next one well I had this one boy he said yeah don't be a year later his wife has a baby goes to admiration he says my wife had a baby he says Mazel Tov he says but it's a girl Mazel Tov he said but you said you come to the next bar mitzvah and a girl didn't have a permit sir he said yeah and when the next child was born who was a boy so he told the story over at the press room I sure was the Sonic and he said how did you know he says when the Scheffer opens it opens big and he says and you can tell when the Scheffer from shamayim when the bounty from heaven you could tell when that opens big Masha said can you read it looks that way so when you when you you understand that afterwards whatever's going on here this is this is addition cabbalistic thought but the Scheffer opens up after based off the idea of making this attack have the key to open it up put a schlissel collar a key and you dishes coolish whistle it's interesting somebody said to me once you can tell how how you understand things from the culture from the way they understand things from words so in Hebrew record a muff Tayeh a key it's what opens whistle means they close and use the closed yeah so the key is a holistic colour it opens it up opens it can be used to open up to be able to get this Shiva and we're going through this process now where we're preparing ourselves because interesting that nature always parallels eternal reality I've spoken about this that the physical reality is a manifestation of a spiritual truth so if there's something true in the rukmini's like a world you'll see it manifested in the physical world so the fact that during these days was the time of the harvest and they wanted to make sure that the harvest came through and then everything was going to be good and it's one of the reasons it was a time when people were davines people were worried is they're gonna come through and not there was a certain a certain concern during these days there's a this is the time to be able to open up the chef's own man would open up the broker and cuz you're powerful one sticking miss Brava coach protocol but how yoga schemata shmoo if you listen to my laws and I'll give you all the good things in the world and if you don't the never there won't be so many good things so so that's it coming out of Pesach putting everything back getting our lives back together we've gone through a purification process over pacer removing the climate's which represents the Rye represents our we're taking all of that out getting ourselves ready now to be able to Makabe the brook of the Sheva with tremendous bounty from Hawkins Buraku and as we start getting ready now for shores we go through our weeks is for summer I wish everybody out there just have only a year of Mazel and bracha and tremendous chef and blessings from survival that's it for this week if you want to find out more about the
