Living With Emunah (Part 208): Give a Taste

okay booker tove and good morning great to be back together again and so glad that we were delayed because of a bris we should continue to have simchas in the community and wonderful to have to reschedule to share good news and a good thing i want to thank our generous sponsors our emunah series sponsors for the year dr xavier bella morgan and member dr brian galbert and in memory of bella's mother dr ellen shanza this morning shear is also sponsored anonymously i don't know who it's from with tremendous gratitude to hashem on their recent marriage and thank you to rabbi goldberg for his kind words and this inspiring share i don't know which kind words but you're welcome and by me and jeffy go grab a container for us for affirmative we are continuing where we left off first of all did everyone do their homework from last week do you remember what your homework was your homework was first bracha of the day to concentrate i will admit i struggled with the homework i forgot on a few days to specifically have intent kavanagh on that first barakah of the day this morning i remembered and we are beginning the production on our disposable coffee cups that will be printed with a reminder powered by hashem that we should make a bracha on that first cup every cup of that day and the significance of um remembering hashem how do we get into this because we're learning this piece by revolbo reminded us last week we have an obligation to make a hundred bucks a day antidote his answer to the plague the jewish people was going through was to make no less than 100 brachas a day so revolver suggested even though it's difficult to be mindful it's difficult to be fully present and remember all 100 broncos a day 10 brachas we can do 10 you could do i said 10 that's very ambitious one bracha we can do let's start off with one bracha a day and let it be that first barakah of the day if the first barak of the day we are mindful the first block of the day we're paying attention and we're thinking then we will set ourselves on the path for remembering hashem throughout the day the biggest challenge i think for most people is not believing that there is a god or believing that he's involved and interacts in our life even though i quoted lashavas in another context a pew study from right before corona said that while 80 of americans believe in god 56 believe in the god of the bible and fewer than 50 believe that god has anything to do with their lives that means to say that the majority of people who believe in god believe that there's a creator there's a first cause there's a designer and he moved on he finished the project and he had other things to tend to he's not involved in the petty minutiae details of our life if my cup of coffee's hot or cold if i spill it on myself or if i don't if i stuck in traffic or make the flight god is doing big things big things in the universe and the cosmos he's creating worlds he is maneuvering and manipulating the whole world he's got a virus and a pandemic that he is deciding to control my life my little life what happens in my life most americans most americans don't believe god is involved in their life we of course do not only do we believe we know it's not a leap of faith and it's not a belief but it's a knowledge torah tells us that we can know we can know as much as we know anything else we've talked about this also what are we up to we're over two hundred a about evidence for munici existence how do we know we know with the same level of knowledge that we know anything else many of you are enjoying duncan what's duncan's slogan powered by duncan something what's nobody here knows the only time you drink dunkin donuts is when we sponsor it okay america runs on duncan thank you america runs on duncan so america runs on duncan um with the cheesecake steak maybe but cheesecake it's not worth it cape cod potato chips maybe oh yeah yeah they sent home from the chopped competition the cape cod the leftover cape cod from me brought kryptonite right into the house the poison right in front of me and i i passed somewhat i failed somewhat too but hashem anyway what were we talking about duncan runs america runs on duncan why do we get into that uh bracha every day what are we talking about oh remembering that god exists so kurdish mortals involved in every detail of our life that's what we're talking about we don't have to take a leap of faith that's what i started to say how do you know in the coffee that's provided for you in the back of the room in this box how do you know there's no poison there's no cyanide there's nothing contaminated everyone's putting down their cup right now how do you know how do you know the answer is that you don't have absolute knowledge what do you have you have overwhelming evidence dunkin donuts would be shut down if in fact it was not vigilant in being careful that the coffee was safe boca raton synagogue would be shut down if we were not careful and we provided you with a coffee that was unsafe is that absolute knowledge it's overwhelming evidence when you cross the street how do you know you don't have a blind spot how do you know there's not a car racing around the corner how do you know your judgment is not impaired or you're not having illusions the answer is you don't but you have overwhelming evidence that you're mentally stable and that you're healthy and that empirically your experience has taught you if you look both ways it's safe to cross and the same is true with countless other examples that we do not have an absolute knowledge of anything in our lives anything there's nothing that we know with certainty we accumulate we amass as much evidence as we can we weigh it and when we have overwhelming evidence in a certain direction we make decisions based on that evidence and what the torah is asserting what the torah tells us is there is no less evidence for god's existence and that's why ataharey saladas you've been shown not to believe you've been shown to no data don't take a leap of faith that's other religions we don't have to leap anywhere you could stay put you don't have to jump off the ground you don't have to take any leap you can know know examine the evidence consider all the so-called proofs for god's existence and when you examine you collect all the evidence you will come to the conclusion like in other areas of our life and we can know we can know so what happens what's the problem why did i forget to have carvanha for my opening bracha on my opening cup of coffee most of the morning since last week i'm an honest teacher so i began by telling you i forgot to do the homework most of the days why if you ask me do i believe i don't believe i know there's a bonus shalom i know there's a god i love him i'm invested in communicating spending time with him and being devoted to him he loves me i am filled and overwhelmed with gratitude for feeling and sensing the love he has for me so why couldn't i remember to make a brock on the cup of coffee because what happens we forget he's invisible we don't hear him and life gets in the way and that's why we have the hundred broncos a day have cabana for ten says revolba says goldberg try for the first one try for one try for one so that's why we're gonna produce these cups of coffee it's not gonna say duncan disposable cups we're gonna put some good slogan that will remind us powered by the rabona shalom the jews run on god i don't know whatever else to come up with a good slogan and uh and recognize and start our diet by remembering that he is intimately involved in other words he's not just aware of what's going on in our lives it's not just he has expectations that holds us accountable for what's going on in our lives he is intimately invested in and interceding on behalf of our lives those who are blessed to be parents those who want to should experience that blessing and know it we want to know what's going on in our kids lives we're desperate as a parent it's not like don't bother me why do you keep telling me every time the whatsapp group lights up with pictures of where they are now and how they're spending money on your credit card right now okay the credit card's got it you know you got to deal with that but you're overjoyed like you can never get enough pictures of your grandchildren i don't care if you run out of memory you run to the store and buy more memory get a new phone you could never get enough information of what's going on in your children and your grandchildren's life hashem says you think i'm not invested i don't want to know about your life send me pictures fill me in talk to me ask me for help thank me afterwards tell me what you're frustrated or upset at me that didn't go right just stay in touch with me just connect with me he's involved in our life and he wants us to involve ourselves with him or invite him to be involved in our life and that's what these hundred times a day to stop and to think and to remember and to make that barakah speaking of remembering what page are we up to does anyone remember oh i made a little note look at that hashem we are learning the safer that came out teachings of revolver called and we are up to page payday 84 and oh paragraph six islamic developed the idea last time if you recall that we need to eat in order to live our life is not sustained you can't breathe your heart won't be you cannot live if you don't eat never there are people who starve to death when i deal with end of life issues which tragically come up way too often that's often the most popular question is it's end of life do we have to provide oxygen do we need to put in a feeding tube do we intubate do we have to put in a peg do we have to are you allowed to and allah has complicated i don't want to simplify it right now other than to say that in a general sense halacha says we don't have to take heroic measures extra measures you do not have to continue a dialysis or pressers for blood pressure or antibiotics for infection but to withhold oxygen and nourishment means that the person will not die from illness they'll die from starvation or from suffocation so if illness takes their life that's hashem but if suffocation or starvation takes their life that could be on us each case is different and again every case needs its own question my point only is we know that if we don't eat we will die we need to eat to live which means that inherent within all food that extends and gives and sustains life is that life force is that life energy who is the source of all life force who is the source of all energy it's the almighty it's hashem so where can he be found he can be found in every breath of air i take in my lungs ask those at the early stages of corona who were struggling yesterday i interviewed somebody for a series who was still recovering from corona from a few weeks ago he kept coughing he was struggling corona was a respiratory illness people struggled nishamah and nishima call hanesha with every breath with every part of our soul we thank hashem because where can you find hashem in every breath it happens naturally we don't think about the breath our body responds and knows how to do it automatically but every breath that we successfully take in which the lungs do what they're supposed to do what comes in supposed to come in what goes out supposed to go out and we don't call for choke is a miracle that's god he is sustaining us through our breath and he is sustaining us through our food so therefore says revolba if you want contact with divine if you want to connect with hashem then when you take a bite of food you are actually absorbing you are imbibing godliness that food will sustain your life it is the life force of the life energy god is in it and the barakah we make before it reminds us of that so this isn't just an ordinary cup of coffee not just a cup of water it's not just a potato chip it's not just a piece of a salad but when you make that baraka proceeding when you introduce it with the broccoli you're saying is hashem i'm about to make contact with you hashem i'm about to spend a moment with you hashem i'm about to imbibe you absorb you i'm about to taste what it is to have a life with you and the truth is in any area of life that we want to form new habits we have to persevere we have to repeat we have to be committed and devoted in order to make it an ongoing and consistent reality excuse me our goal is to actually be able to experience ta'amu uru i don't remember if i would mention it in yamuna i mentioned recently in russia my baby allah shalom ruth above my grandmother her favorite pasak in tanach was tammuruki in the hospital at the end of her life she told her children and grandchildren don't ever forget tamuru just taste and you will seek hashem if you don't think god is good it's because you haven't given a taste you haven't taken a taste take a taste of a life with god take a taste of a life with a muna live with hashem for a period of time talk to him and be grateful to him and feel his presence in your life feel his support and his embrace know that he's by your side taste it taste what it's like and you will realize quito there is no other way i mentioned did i mention the amunisher i mentioned the shop this morning we had been on a tour of the coke factory in atlanta several years ago and the history of coke which i won't repeat now the entire thing but basically uh it was sold first in a pharmacy and it was a syrup that had to be mixed with water and nobody bought it did very little sales the entire first year it cost more to produce the syrup than they did in sales in the revenue of that year and then they had a nine-fold he had a great idea you know what so confident in the winning formula of coca-cola still the secret winning formula of coca-cola which is a whole separate topic how does the ou give it kashrus how do you supervise and give kosher supervision to a company that has a formula that's secret and won't tell you so there was actually a chuva in hebrew written a century ago when coca-cola formula first began we studied it one year in pesach because how did they know if there was comets what coca-cola does this is the tangent of a tangent of a tangent so stick with me and somebody get us back on the highway afterwards but do you know what coca-cola does to the best of my knowledge if there are 10 ingredients of coke they actually store 15 ingredients in the factory and they don't let the mashiach know which ones are the ones that are really going in and at what proportion that's how you could know everything going in is kosher but you don't really know what the formula is you don't really know what the formula is so we had an ein file the inventor of coke who was losing money in that first year said you know what i'm so confident that we have the winning formula i'm so confident people only tasted it they would see how good it is everyone gets a first taste for free now costco does that everybody gives a touch first taste for free right every bend you turn in costco there's somebody i know they're doing that they're in corona i'm very mocked but i haven't gone shopping during corona i'm not ready to go back yet no ever a very mac beautiful life so so if a taste take a taste and then you're going to buy the product it's so good so david malik says take a taste and says i know it's certainty kit of hashem you're going to find that hashem is great so that's what revolver says rabbas toe elasti islam so revolver says literally take a taste take a taste naked hashem everything comes from you you're in this coffee coffee bean the grinding the packaging the flavor the splenda the stirring the right warmth my hands my my soul it's nourishing me it's waking me up the caffeine hashem when i put this in my system i'm putting you in my system i'm making contact with the divine i'm speaking i'm making a connection with you hashem through that cup of coffee have you eaten i made a beautiful world for you it's got an incredible smorg there are incredible opportunities out there i made an amazing amazing beautiful menu have you eaten from the fruit of my tree have you tried the vegetables from the ground have a mavari all i ask you all you have to do to pay is make a bracha in other words here's publix here's the grove here's a roma here's winn dixie come in and take whatever you want the way that you pay the cash register is just say thank you acknowledge and reference where it comes from and it's all yours says god when our children were young we try to remind them by saying you can't steal don't forget you can't we can't steal that from hashem it says you gotta say mega baraka is how we ask for permission that's how we buy it that's how we say thank you you got to say thank you you can't walk out of the store taking something without paying and you can't take something from god's world without paying so what do we think such hot shots pay god i paid the cashier publix what are you talking about i have another good tangent story but we took too many too many detours so far today but you gotta what do you mean i already paid a pub i paid at the grove i'd have to pay god the answer is but did the grove pay another where'd they get it from where where does it originally come from a godland who was the one who invented it who was the one who created it and who was the one who allowed it to grow in a healthy way um so that's what the major on the yakitori says on this just taste and you'll see god is good and how do you taste when are you entitled to taste what is the payment to the currency you don't venmo or zell god all you have to do is say shah call me a bit borrow all you have to do is make a bracha and through that bracha that is the payment says the following if a person makes a brachet as if they fulfilled all the mitzvos now that does not mean you're off the hook you don't just make a shahakal god i'm done for the day now i could have a cheeseburger i don't have to dive in i'm good to go i made my bracha but rather it means it's equal to it means included within it is as if all the mysteries of the day la madren mikhail we learn from here a critically important lesson it means that there are 613 different trajectories or steps or paths to connecting to god and i would have to take 613 different journeys in order to experience them all but if i make one bracha i've included them all it's as i've taken every journey there is why because the bracha is the way to toeing it's a way to taste god you want a taste you want to preview you want to experience you want to touch the divine vetoing god taste god and how by making abraha by making abraha for the life of us we cannot begin we cannot begin to appreciate what is the inestimable value of one bracha last week i shared with you the story from the time of surely discon the woman whose colostomy or bag was changed once a day and it was worth living it was worth fighting for life it was worth continuity it was worth suffering the rest of the day for the one moment she was eligible to make a barakah because she said abraha one moment a day one chance a day i could connect myself i could connect heaven and earth one moment a day i could bring hashem down here i could say thank you for all that i have all that i am one moment a day i could beto him i could taste the life of god it's all worth it for that so the value of one bracha it changes and moves the cosmos we don't understand its impact on us and on our family one bracha one bracha one bracha in a relationship in a relationship you can have a person who's neglected the relationship abused the relationship disappointed the relationship but in one shot yes there are people who redeem themselves in one moment in that one moment that they said please or thank you and the one moment they made that bid for connection in the one moment they humbly submitted and conceded to the nature of that relationship and appreciation for it can change the entire relationship the value of saying the right thing in the right moment the right time in the right way to the right person it can change and move worlds it moves worlds we know that in the world of diplomacy world wars began because the wrong thing was said or were avoided because the right thing was said what a bracha can do the value of abraham the value of an amine which we've talked about maybe we'll talk about more the whole notion of i mean we know groups of women groups of people gather to make brachas out loud answer remain to one another because of the value of what that does how it changes the cosmos how it changes the entire world kiravatsuma kazos libori olam would turn the page to pay you could ignore god neglect disappoint god all day long you're not allowed to we're accountable for it we shouldn't be proud of it we got to work on it but with one bracha we can repair that damage with one bracha you have a child whose hoods predict the entire day you have a child who ignored what you asked them to do the whole day you have a child who is rude and obnoxious the whole day and then one moment after dinner they come up and they say i really want to thank you dinner was delicious thank you for the work you put into it they snuggle in your arm and they say thank you for whatever it is or they just a gesture of affection even if there's no words to it are you still thinking about their chutzpah their disobedience no you're just grateful they have repaired and they've changed now if they go back to being you got to take away their phone but if in that one sentence and that one gesture of affection they've won you over so the ribonus that's the power says revolve but one shahako maybe we didn't have our best day spoke lashinar didn't really dive and dindavan with a lot of kavanaugh didn't do what we were supposed to meant to wanted to could have done but we then decided one brach hashem i'm coming back to you and by the way how long is this conversation with god as we spoke about last week a millisecond one second three at most i don't know anyone who takes more than three seconds to make a shahako how long is that conversation we're not exactly significantly interrupting our life this is not a major gift we're giving and yet look at the inestimable impact it can have misha mish mamesh and the whole food tastes different the food tastes different if the food is an atheist agnostic food is it the experience of eating as an atheist or agnostic or are you eating as a believer not a believer because we said you don't need faith are you eating as a knower are you eating as somebody who knows there's a god and who feels his presence and who finds him in that food find hashem in that food he's in the food that we eat it sustains us it's our life force it's our life source it energizes us and that's him hidden cloaked within the food now our mission is to peel back those layers to reveal him to find him and make contact with him in that food now what food is he in he's never in kale but he's in certain foods he's in certain foods it doesn't matter somebody sent me a shyla on friday not from boca no one who lives in boca nobody you know they sent me a shilla they forwarded me an article and they wanted to know are you allowed to massage kale on shabbos i don't know what that was i was afraid to open the article frankly but apparently there's something you massage the lettuce it brings out something in the lettuce you're supposed to massage kale it softens it there's nothing you can do to it that will make it taste good you can massage it from heintel morgan it's not going to help not going to help unless you douse it with the sugary salad dressing that'll make it uh edible anyway i won't tell you what i wrote back to the shayla are you allowed to massage kale and chabas it was a man who wrote it to me so the first thing i said is you got to turn in your man card first of all and then we could talk you have hereby been suspended just for asking this question and then we could figure out the answer together in hilhel chavez so i don't know if hashem is in the kill or not but whatever we're putting his name kale maybe maybe he's in there so but but it's a totally different mentality and attitude towards eating and i don't want to fixate on the eating again we gave a shirt online a few months ago and ello about the jewish hashkafa of eating but it's true about breathing there's a reason you know we're living in a time where our breathing is so shallow there are countless articles and research that shows that many of the illnesses and much of what we're suffering today is because we're always running and doing and active and we don't stop to breathe deeply and we're not getting the oxygenation we need respiratory we're not living our best selves our breathing is very shallow part of why i saw an article said you know why it's shallow because in order to really take in a deep breath you need to lift your head up and we all the time are like this and there's actually studies that show that our head is down facing our little device all day long watching typing listening talking we're looking down that we're not taking in the oxygen that we need so it's not a coincidence the shama and nishima breath and soul are the same word we restore our soul when we take deep breaths so to set that alarm maybe that'll be your homework not yet we didn't really complete the homework from last week so we have a repeat of that homework kavanagh on the opening bracket of the day we'll add homework as we go about putting a timer on our phone to stop and take breath there are apps you don't need me or a timer for this this i know there are many apps for this that remind you to stop and breathe can you believe it 2021 we need apps to remind us to stop and breathe the more sophisticated and the more advanced we become the more steps we take backwards and the more pathetic we become it used to be a time the shepherd was out in the field and they didn't stop breathing a lot he spotted this taking in the farmer was out in the field the hunter the per it used to be a time that life was slow a person was by the river doing the laundry and they were breathing looking around taking it in lost in their thoughts and we think we've made such progress but we've regressed that we no longer have time to think and we no longer remember to breathe and as much as we've progressed by making all kinds of technological breakthrough that makes life easier it needs to be accompanied by an app that reminds us to breathe that's how pathetic we have become we forgot to breathe don't forget to breathe then imagine imagine growing up your mother your father sent you to school listen don't forget to breathe today everything else you have to do don't you go to work don't forget to breathe today we have apps we pay to download apps to remind us to breathe but we do we need to the shama and so when we breathe we are absorbing hashem into our lungs when we eat we are tasting god in our life these are contact points we have with the divine throughout our day what's missing or what we need to bring to the table is the mindfulness to do it to remember and when we do it changes our entire life it changes our life it'll bring peace and serenity and happiness and joy it'll take away anxiety and worry and fear he's right by our side i was all anxious and i was worried and i was afraid i just made a bracha oh yeah i forgot he exists and if he exists then i have nothing to worry about so here's the emunah story for the week i always encourage our listeners live or who are listening virtually to share a moon stories because it gives me physique and i hope it does you as well so someone sent this in and when you do let me know whether i should say your name or not because i never know since my father passed away writes this person based elo my sister and i have been listening to her living with the moon she instead of the radio this morning on my way to work that she was about how nothing is coincidence and everything's from hashem which by the way is all 200 shia rooms so far while we were sitting my sister noticed i wear an old ring we had both gotten from hadaya in israel did i say that right that says that this too shall pass she went to look for hers after shiva but could not find it anywhere she was going to order a new one online with a special quote to remember our father that day she randomly met someone she didn't know before who was going to israel for yantef and asked them if they could pick up the special ring fur they said yes and it turned out to be someone who works in the same place as i do i was able to get the ring from them today this story is truly what you spoke about every piece of the puzzle had to fit just right it can only be from hashem that this couple was sent to do the special task for my sister to give her comfort so again if you live your life with your eyes open then you realize it can either be you know written off as oh look at that coincidence i just remembered i want the ring someone was going to israel at exactly the right time who i didn't know before but shared with me to go to israel turns out they work with my sister and can give the ring to her we'll give it to me oh what a string of coincidences cute or you could say i was suffering and struggling i was going through loss i was looking for comfort in the message that would be on that ring so hashem said here's a messenger i'm sending you an angel here's ups fedex they're going to israel they'll bring it back don't worry you want to struggle how you'll find it how it'll get delivered they work with your sister who will bring it right to you so you can interpret or read everything going on in our lives as a string of random coincidences or you could say hashem you've been sending me angels you're orchestrating and curating my whole life everything's happening the way it's meant to now there are moments like the people who send me the emunah stories where you live afterwards and you could say wow i see exactly how that worked out right i needed it too otherwise this never would have happened but most of our life we don't have that luxury we don't have that privilege we live life forward even though we can only understand it backwards and parts of life we will never understand maybe in the next world in the uh we will until then it will remain a mystery but we should be searching we should be looking we should be wanting to understand because when we do when it makes sense when we can uncover and decipher it then we feel his presence shabbat magazine had yuda gebber a great historian in his article a couple weeks ago talked about laser silver maka mars's grandfather howard blazer silver great rob from cincinnati in america he was in europe and he was trying to send the message it was really just over right he was trying to send a message to his family that he was okay but he knew that all the telegrams were being monitored so he took out an ad in a jewish newspaper and he embedded a cryptic message that when you read the ad you're like this makes no sense whatsoever i have no idea what's going on but his family were able to decipher and read between the lines and understand that he was telling them that he's okay that he's okay it's a fascinating story fascinating story his brilliance and their capacity to understand and decipher it and his intuition and entrepreneurship to use that that mechanism to deliver the message but it got me thinking that hashem is embedding messages to us all the time and the question is do we take a moment to decipher or are we living at such a fast pace and just a fast speed and surrounded by so much noise right what what's what's not included in this email was that really hashem was doing things for this person all the time but they used to listen to the radio there's nothing wrong with the radio i like music if it's got the best playlist around nothing wrong with listening to the radio listening to great music i like music as much as the next person but sometimes you have to shut down the noise and listen to the amuna to remind us to look for and decipher the message in life because had that been the radio playing maybe the ring story would have just been written off as ah instead of wow hashem was winking at me hashem sent angels to orchestrate comforting me so there's so much noise and we're moving at such a fast pace to stop and remember to breathe stop and remember to make a bracha and to have kavana mindfulness for one moment for one moment you walked out of a busy meeting and you had to go to the bathroom and you came out of the bed the whole meeting one hour two hour three hour it's a whole meeting you're negotiating and you're figuring something out in business or on behalf of the community or on behalf of your child during life and we can forget god is part of that conversation we forget we forget that we are to revolve ourselves around his values and his vision what he wants for us we forget that he's a stakeholder and what's happening we forget to stop and consider what will give nacha what does he want what is the rats on hashem we forget but we stop to go to the restroom we come out we make an ashiyata so if we do it as a derek we're saying as we walk back into the room then it does nothing but if we stopped for that moment how long does it take to say ashiyat god you created the whole world in your image and it's a miracle that exists and we wouldn't be here without you everything needs to function just right and you made the most incredible factory called the human body you're amazing now you go back into the meeting you're like whoa i was wondering where's god and how this will work out i was panicking and i was anxious and i was envious but that asha yatta just put me back on track that ashayatso just got me navigating right back on the road so those hundred brachas a day and whether it's the shahakal and the cup of coffee or whether it's even the brachan kale or whether it's an ashyats have to go to the bathroom or whether it is a wonderful fragrance that barakah because it's so easy to lose track there is so much noise and there's so much wind that is knocking us off course that bracha that bracha is the anchor it's the navigation tool it's the gps system the bracha brings us back to living with him and when we live with him we can decipher the code that we'll see that he's all over our life we'll see that he's all over this world we'll see that he's everywhere we just have to acquire that relationship with him we have that invitation and we have that opportunity and then revolver has the following question which we're not going to continue we'll believe it or not we are already out of time but i'm posing it as the question for next week maybe there'll be a baby born today and then we won't have to start late next week if not we're back to 8 45 next week so barring any extraordinary
