page 958 Parsha begins
continues this monologue the solid
degree of mushroom and Moshe mentions
Moshe tells us how he turned to Hashem
and over and over and over again he
implored Hashem he begged Hashem he
desperately desperately asked Hashem to
reconsider like a child who relentlessly
says to the parent please please please
I want to you have to give me let me and
he was unwilling to give up this is one
of the synonyms we have for trila and it
is one of the forms of its feeling that
we have which on the one end very much
feels like badgering Hashem
is unkind to Hashem on the other hand to
a certain degree it's what Hashem wants
it's what he encourages and invites us
to do because it means we believe we're
demonstrating that we believe he's in
charge he's in control he decides and it
shows our our
Relentless desire for something or
unwillingness to give up we spoke about
this at length in previous years versus
Hashem even if we're undeserving give us
graciously generously give us a Madness
as a gift nonetheless even if we don't
have the Merit or we are undeserving but
asked over and over and over again how
many times in total
515 times when did this Fila begin when
did Moshe begin this Relentless
badgering muttering nudging
over and over again
describes this is one of the modes the
models this is one of the forms of FILA
that we follow that we emulate
over and over to Hashem so when did this
begin and the other place I told her
quotes that we find them and among the
achronum many different opinions when
Moshe began this process one opinion is
from The Magicians
Israel all seven days of Adar from the
seventh why did he stop on the seventh
he died that was his yard site that's
why um
so seven days seven days of passionate
heartfelt philos seven days Moshe
besieged and implored and begged over
and over again and on the seventh day of
the day that would be his yard site
Hashem said no Los saboration so it
sounds like from the measures that all
515 trilos were offered when
foreign
because
was born and died on the seventh of Adar
but this is an interesting fact you may
not have known that a person's birth
does not begin on when they're born nor
does it begin necessarily when their
mother started to have contractions
already gets ready for the exit to
depart you know some people get to the
airport very early the nashama gets to
the airport seven days before take off
seven days before departure time seven
days before the baby will be born
these were the Yom kenuse
moshe's birth was seven days long that
means his mother had an incredible labor
yes but it doesn't mean all seven days
was active labor but I don't know if
this says any correlation medically
today but seven days before the baby's
born there's already some
baby activity going on
um
those seven days the birth experience is
a time of research on to Hashem it's an
auspicious time Hashem is bringing one
into the world the side the world needs
that person samosha thought these seven
days maybe for him Hashem is more
predisposed to listen to answer
affirmatively maybe Hashem well find
favor if he asks over and over so this
first opinion is when did Moshe offer
these 515 filos from
until the 7th there's another opinion
sofa some software of Martial Sovereign
says
in the name of Israel the balafla that
the 515 pillars of Moshe were
just
he says it began from test Zion Nissan
from the 5th the 16th of Nisan every day
three times a day
in Nissan and the 515 ended
the 515th Fila says the final the final
before the gates closed on Moshe the
final Thriller he offered was what we
know as
Yom Kippur
our last call of desperation as the
gates are closing is the 515th Tila of
Moshe that he authored Kane um
that's what the possible
I implored Hashem in that time what's
the in that time and what time what was
the special time what was the in that
time that he implored him says
in that time and what was the in that
time
the suspicious time of this holiest time
of the Nila that makes the walls of this
incredible rain Sanctuary shake and
vibrate and rock that nailah was
introduced by Moshe Rabino it was his
so for that is the second opinion this
is the third opinion Assam suffer
quotes as well the emotion began to
dominate on the 21st of Nisan which
corresponds with
seventh day of pesach Miriam died on the
10th of Nissan all seven days of
mourning for her the heir did not the
well did not dry up until the 17th of
Nissan they went three days without
water and the water came out on the 21st
of Nissan which was the seventh day of
pesach and that was Uber niggs
you are not bringing them in so when
Hashem told them Moshe you're not
bringing them in Moshe said you're on
now I'm going to Daven hard now I'm
gonna dive an art and may I says
and therefore the 515 filos ended when
the second day of circus
so some server has this other opinion it
went from the seventh of pesach to the
second day of circus
don't ask me over and over again so it
could be this is
incredible I don't know why I never my
whole life thought about we all know
over and over again but over what in one
day in one sitting
over one week over how long over
the amount of time it took for the
monologue of safer Department that was
36 Days
so the sun suffer
again so far we saw with seven days of
the seventh of other it's the measures
second opinion from that from the seven
the
16th of Nisan is when he began and it
ended in he loved him Kipper the 515
filomotion composed Yom Kippur a third
opinion next time so far it went from
the seventh day of pesach until the
second day of circus the Jewish base of
ram has another opinion
when did
the 15th of of what happened on that day
yum may say mid Barn it was when those
who were destined to die in the desert
stop dying Omar Moshe so they would all
right they dug their own Graves they lie
down in it if they got up on the 15th of
they knew it was not yet their time this
was the last go-around and those who got
up got up so mushroom said to himself if
these this generation was all supposed
to be wiped out before they entered the
land and of those who found the reprieve
and those who got another chance were
able to get up and climb out of their
grave maybe I can too maybe if I keep
domining I can undo this xera I can
reverse this decree and go into the land
so
two Bob the 15th of Avi began he dive
into every day to be able to enter the
land he diamonds for 170 days other than
Chavez and yantev because he's not
allowed to offer bakasha on those days
so from two above until Zion Adar 515
trilos so again in their other opinions
as well below collects these when did he
offer this is a classic case where we
study Hamish we know something to be
true he offered many filos when how
where why what precipitated why do you
choose those days and so on and so forth
other fascinating uh other fascinating
ideas that come out from his having
offered these 515 Fields the balaturum
says
515 you know what else it is
recite his prayers some people open the
sitter some people even in their own
words they recite they say
I forgot which sad that we quote
every year before sleepos you know
they'll talk about when are you which
which Minion when are you saying
if you want to really butcher the
English Language by you when do they say
slichos
it's an act of murder to the English
Language by you when did they say
they can say we don't say slichos you
don't say sleepos
you you beseech you cry out you call out
you heartfelt sincere authentic it's
about to him says emotion didn't just
say that Fila if a person gets a
diagnosis if a person feels there's a
terminal situation if a person is an
urgent crisis if a person is trying to
avert a catastrophe they don't say a
prayer you don't say a prayer you cry
out you call out with desperation with
urgency or with song
this word is the same as prayer without
a yud and Shira sril and Shira but
because
and what do you see from here
you should dive into Hashem sing song
You Gotta Have a niggan don't just say
the davening
Israel you know just say the daviding
like it's a burden you know I'm
burdening yourself like you're reading
some bad script and you're the worst
actor on the planet you don't just say
davening you sing The Avenue you call
out you cry out davening it has to
reflect internally what we're feeling
we're not just taking some template some
script and we're reciting it because
it's the checklist of things I have to
do take this prescription I go to this
place I go there I do this oh and check
I said the davening I said my davening
you don't say you're davening you sing
your davening you feel you're dabbing
you emote your davening you call out
your davening that's moshebenu
ishira because for us feel it to be real
it's got to be Ashira sometimes it's a
Shira sometimes it's a happy sing song
Sometimes you got great news sometimes
you're celebrating something wonderful
sometimes you woke up and you're alive
and that's enough for you to know you're
going to have a great day so you sing
your Tila ashra Yoshi other days you're
desperate there's urgency there's you
need and so you're singing out Fila
you're crying out with a sense of song
but it always this has to be with a song
it shouldn't sound like a library a
shuls minion shouldn't sound like a
light
everybody's saying they're diving
they're saying it to themselves no a
minion should be
you ever diamond and Carl and stone
ravana Carlina left in his Sava
one of the things he said about domining
first he said if you're not early to
davening you're late if you're not on
time don't bother coming
stolen base imagine if you're not on
time to davening don't bother coming
then he said that you dive in quickly
it's a very very interesting fascinating
minion
davening so fast like a runaway train
why because he felt the best shot you
have of concentrating the whole time
it's not if you schlep it out and slow
as boring and you're distracted boom
boom boom boom boom I can focus for that
and the third thing he says is you
should Scream the tree to the top of
your lungs it'll keep you awake and
alive and come from your heart so you
got to get there early their davening is
early I wouldn't give a Zev the basement
and they're screaming at the top of
their law it wakes you up in the morning
they're screaming it's quick and you got
to get there early for some people it's
an ideal diving at least parts of it so
you gotta scream it out it shouldn't
sound like a library
you gotta sing out and scream out and
call out your davening
when the Cabanas are offered the Levee
accompanied it with song
ayomy
is
accompanied by the Lavigne song then our
davening has to be accompanied with song
you have to sing out you have to cry out
it is to be alive I'll tell you a school
after being able to do this listening
carefully
have a cup of coffee before the Avenue
if you roll out of bed and you're still
half asleep and you're falling apart and
the crust of your eyes has not yet been
removed are you just gonna say
but if you wake up early I'll give you a
little plug for our Cola Boker 6 15 a.m
and many bring this down the notion of
learning before davening learning before
Davin has a lot of value the quality of
your doubting is different you're on
time to davening if you're learning at
the show before davening and you're
awake and by the time you've dive and
you're already in a conversation with
Hashem learning Torah is Hashem talking
to us and davines are talking to him so
if you learn before you Daven you
already spent some time listening to
what Hashem has to say to you and now
you're ready to talk to him
it changes your dominating altogether so
whether you do it in Arcola Boker
whether you do it at home whether you do
it listening to selling online learn
before dominating it's a big Indian to
be able to turn your teela into Ashira
that's
turn your davening into a Shira I want
to share with you from
when he was told that he would not enter
at Israel Moshe pleaded for forgiveness
had the people joined them into we
listened to this point this rub is
beautiful and it's appropriate dafka as
we are on the brink on the cusp of Tish
above
but this week to follow listen to this
teaching
have the people joined him in three law
the reborn would have been forced to
respond but they did not thus we read
with tears in his eyes we read that with
tears in his eyes Moshe tells them
and what's the significance of
what did he not say
he did not say
what does mean
he turned to them and he said you know
how I got you out of every sticky
situation you now I had your back your
entire lives you know how I saved you
countless times you know how I dabbed
and I pleaded and I begged and I got you
off talk over and over again well once
Hashem told me I wasn't going in
I I was all alone
I was we had a big tehelum rally that I
should be able to go into Heritage
Israel you know who showed up
me myself and I says Moshe I was the
only one there I was the only one who
opened the tehelum for me when it came
to you I had your back for me and the
decree against me and I showed his
decision about me and my faith
you could get emotional you could cry
for Moshe when you think about it this
leader who gave up his family who gave
up everything
for these people and in this moment in
his time when he needed them
I was lonely solitary prayerful person I
died and no one else joined in with me
but Hashem became angry he didn't listen
to me
because of you Moshe did not enter as a
struggle because instead of addressing
The Rock he hit it not the fault of
Amish or the motion made a mistake but
if the people possess the sensitivity
and the love
for Moshe is similar to that love that
Moshe felt for them that the crew would
have been torn to shreds it was their
fault last week's parasha in fact we
asked the question last week why does
mosharabenu blame claw Israel Gambia
because of you I also wasn't allowed to
go in Russia says he's talking there
about the moragam because of what you
did with them I couldn't go in oh yes
last week what you didn't get to go in
because I mean mariva you hit the rock
instead of speaking to it what are you
playing the blame game and the rambanda
we went through all these different
interpretations of what moshebenu meant
in our Parish again he says yet again he
says because of you sir salavechik is
teaching he's interpreting what is what
does Moshe mean because of you I didn't
get to go in not because of you the
original decree the decree was on me
says Moshe I hit the rock instead of
speaking to it a lie the decree was
because of me but what is your fault
because if you would have showed up to
that tehilam Gathering if you Deport out
your hearts if you would have had me in
mind
then the decree would have been torn to
shreds because
you don't have my back the way I had
yours
the rambam says the section contains one
Mitzvah right there's a header before
the mitsos and the rambam
in the laws of first days the ramam says
there is one Mitzvah in here and that is
he lits Oak to cry out Hashem in times
of dangers
itself
he repeats the Mitzvah but instead of
saying the Mitzvah is it lits Oak with a
Sadi he says the Mitzvah is
Liz Oak with a Zion he changes the Sadi
into a Zion says the road such a slight
variation sometimes unnoticeable always
intrigued me and still does what is the
distinction what is the difference
between Liz Oak and lit's Oak
fascinating the ramam doesn't do
anything by accident if you change that
one letter he did it for a reason so
it's the fast day about litz Oak as it
says in the introduction or is the first
day about Liz Oak as it says in the
proper
means to protest a certain woman the
wife of one of the sons of the prophets
the navi tells us that there was a
certain woman the wife of one of the
Navy she was Saka to Alicia she didn't
yell at Alicia but complained to him the
word lizzook has an additional
connotation of mobilizing assembling
congregating there are many passages in
the Torah where the term is meant in the
sense of prayer as well as summons
addressed to others to do likewise and
to join for example the best example
um he cried with alarm with a bitter cry
where's that where's that
um
Esther Mordechai didn't do that because
he became hysterical he cried out with
alarm with a bitter cry
why does it say that
he wasn't hysterical what was he doing
it was a phone tree it's a mass text it
was an email he was calling the
community to join him in Fila another
example
summons the people to join him in three
love four
had the people done so the wrath of
Hashem would have been mitigated shall
wouldn't have lost the kingdom the
people didn't respond so the Zion is no
everybody gathered everybody come
together we're having a tehelm gathering
zakar expresses the love of the
individual for the community and the
dedication of the community to the
individual a solitary person dominance
in isolation silently in complete
privacy tree was the monologue of the
individual stands before the almighty
who is the one God an individual in the
absolute sense of the word on the other
hand means that I exist only within the
community within the many my existence
is Justified because I feel love for the
community I get involved with sibor I
summon the Seaboard of Daven with me not
Le hispanel before Hashem but Liz Oak
before him it's totally different the
individuals trila on their own versus
the individual who Blends into a
community and a community that gathered
and a community that comes together and
a community that complements one another
and the community comes
as individuals one plus one plus one
plus one but a community takes on a new
identity it is a new entity and it
offers a new type of trila and that is
Liz Oak to cry out
to cry out after the hate of the
um
for the community for 40 days in
succession Hashem tolerated his
intercession on behalf of the community
indeed he granted atonement to the
people on this occasion when however
when Moshe tried to dominate Hashem
Hashem stabbed him in the middle when
moshraddaman was recited in the plural
all the gates were opened and I showed
him to intercede for the many but when
Moshe changed to the singular when no
one else showed up the gates were closed
loving kindness was slammed in his face
Hashem rejected the TV has taught the
individual to include fellow men in
prayer the individual must not limit
himself to his own needs no matter how
pressing those needs are and how
distinguished he is formulated Fila in
the plural this hardly it's Philo which
avails itself of the grammatical
singular even private philos such as
those offered on the occasion of
sickness
death or other crises are recited in the
plural for example
even if there's one person sitting shiva
Shabba says that one one visits the sick
you say
Hashem
have mercy on you and
rushing their comments through inclusion
of others it's Fila is heard for the
sake of the many the major States that
had the community joined motion mithila
Hashem would have granted their Quest he
would not have rejected the Thriller for
the many unfortunately Community didn't
understand the secret of FILA as a
consequence of their ignorance Moshe
died in the mid bar the word
implies supplication the name for
tahanun is derived from the same word as
the right
the idea that we can make no claim that
we deserve to have our Quest fulfilled
we have no merits we recite that Fila in
the philosophy
is we're undeserving so we fall on our
arm and we desperately dive into Hashem
to help us nonetheless this image that
the rough paints is powerful with
painful but it's also a reminder for all
of us both as individuals not to try to
go at it alone not to try to suffer in
silence or Solitude
tell us that we should let others know
about our ailments and predicaments and
we should invite others to dive in for
us because the fillers of the Rabin when
People Unite in Fila when they call out
when together they are Liz Oakes when
they call out it is heard it is accepted
it is received entirely differently but
it's also our responsibility as a
community to show up is there is there a
more painful description than Moshe
rabenu he's all alone
he calls the talent Gathering he starts
to tell him what's app Group and he says
okay someone take a few tell them he
gives out the booklets and no one takes
one he's all alone they don't show up
they don't have his back the way he has
theirs
and that's why that's why it's big
that's why it's their fault because they
left him all alone and that's why it was
not received it wasn't he wasn't
answered it's a beautiful conditions
Levy
brought down in the
in the emerostarus
caduceus
the gamara tells us when it comes to
smirk's we say Israel and right after we
say God Israel boom we go into the amida
but I thought we said before we begin
the amida the amida proper begins with
the first which is
Hashem we introduce it with hashem's
Society
so it's not an interruption between
Google or thriller
to which the gemara concludes
the truth is there is an ancillary it
does complement the tree that's not part
of the trila proper but since its
significance as a Prelude it is if it's
it is a prolonged elaborated Thriller so
what is a decision slavery won the state
level it's Phila
um
what kind of an answer was this why
didn't we just answer
if it's
just say
what
in other words why is Hashem Society not
an interruption between Google or God
Israel and Phila the answer should have
been because it is
it's Taylor it's not an interruption
because it's Fila we didn't answer that
you gamara answered
it's an extension of it's the Prelude
what's a Prelude what's an extension at
Villa what is it
as opposed to just Fila the same
handshaking as agadola who authored the
amida are the ones who instituted saying
Hashem Society attack first
it's a little bonus sitter snippet for
you because we're already past this so
listen to what says based on our pasture
Hashem Society
foreign
it's part of davening and that we're
offering it and saying it to Hashem
singing it to Hashem but it's also not
part of the field it's the introduction
to Phila because what is it that we're
davening for
we're davening at the davening go well
opened my lips let this davening go well
smoothly let me articulate the words let
me be focused on their meaning let me be
present in this conversation let them be
heard and received well let you find
favor in responding to them
before we begin the conversation with
Hashem before we dive in we Daven about
the davening we're about the Davin to
Hashem
before we dive in you know like the
speaker say before I speak I'd like to
say a few words
before I dive in I'd like to dive in a
little bit
before I dive in I'd like to Daven that
I should be able to Daven that by
davening be adavine it sounds funny but
it makes sense the truth is if you know
where it comes from it makes even more
sense
come from
foreign
you're making a mistake don't
oversimplify the situation between David
and bacheva but David Amal himself says
David says about himself I made a
terrible mistake and here in this
Capital David is going up to the mistake
he is receiving the rebuke for the
mistake he says he made
and there we have this passage
Hashem opened my lips it's as if saying
Hashem I goofed I messed up I really
really blew it and I'm so far away from
you and I feel so inadequate and I don't
know that you even want to hear from me
I don't know that you'll even receive me
I don't know that I can find the words
how to say I'm sorry so Hashem
before I approach you to try to
reconcile before I approach you to try
to repair Hashem Society help me find
the right words I Daven that this
conversation go well
did you ever have to have a difficult
conversation with someone you love you
care about in business to repair and
reconcile or to break up or end a
relationship that you find the right
words you Daven that the conversation go
well that's Hashem society says the
caduceus lady
it's not part of Phila because it's the
Prelude the introduction
Hashem Let It Go well let it go smoothly
give me the right words let me find the
right thing to say it's the Prelude it's
the introduction but it's not a half
sake between Gula and Fila because it is
the licensed it's the key to open the
lips to start selahine
says
and let it go smoothly it was moshebenu
it was
nobody had greater access nobody had
more comfort with Hashem he didn't need
to mamela he didn't have to say this
special
he never needed that except here why
because over and over and over it was no
no no no no
so it wasn't working it wasn't flown it
wasn't happening it says
in this circumstance in this moment when
it comes to this thing where I keep
getting no no no here yes
give me the words to say
help me find the right words you're
going into a difficult conversation
you're going into a complicated
negotiation you're going into some
conversation which is critical and
crucial and really important
and you're concerned about it
Hashem about that moment in conversation
lay more when it comes to these words
Hashem give me the words give me the
right words to say and what did he say
continuing
let me pass over let me come into this
land let me see this land Hashem please
so desperate yearning has a collection
here of midrashem Moshe expressed his
desperation to go into the land he
didn't say
and if it's okay I'd like to go first
class and I'd like to stay only in the
Waldorf
and I'd like to be upgrading to a suite
and I want the continental breakfast and
that driver with the limo please have
prepared for me and I want to be able to
go to Heritage Israel only the way I
want also the VIP when I land they take
me right around I don't want to wait out
that's how I want to go
for some who are blessed up to 2000
years to go that's the only way they
want to go if I can get the VIP if I
qualify for the upgrade if I can have
the you know how much rabena wanted to
go listen to this the measures of armed
rabbit tells us
yearning his thirst his insatiable
desire let me just get into let me just
let me put a toe let me put a foot let
me just be on that Holy Land whatever it
takes ever enough
let me pass over let me enter into the
land let me see it it's
is
let me go in like an animal
let me go in like an animal I don't know
if he means reincarnated like an animal
let me go in on all fours and just eat
from the grass of the field if I can't
go into the Waldorf to be upgraded to
the suite I'm happy to go in like a cow
I'm happy to go in like a cat in your
lime in the dumpster
no I'm emotions
let me go in like a bird if I can't let
my feet touch the ground of Earth to
throw and let at least let me like a
drone a bird let me fly over let me see
it from the air fresh Barca says stop
asking the answer is still no the Taurus
another medrus
let me swim in let me come in in the
ocean let me come in from the sea let me
come up the river let me at least see it
just let me in get me in any way I can
anyway I'll take it anyway anyway over
and over the magala mukos precious
let me be reincarnated transmigrate my
soul into some other creature I don't
need to come in with dignity I don't
even need to come in as a human being I
don't need to be upgraded put me
underneath with the luggage like a dog
in a in a box however it takes I'll get
there whatever it takes however it takes
the difference
because those are plus a total heard of
of course he says
I'll come in on the clouds Let Me Ride
the clouds let me at least look down 30
000 feet
anything let me put my feet on let me be
an animal let me be a bird let me be a
fish let me be a drone let me go on the
clouds
chop me up in pieces
let me go in my limbs and pieces to be
buried there
as if I and then it won't be that you
violated your way you said I can't go in
so we'll be that I didn't go in whole
but if you let me go and chopped in
pieces and be buried there at least I
got in
order
said fine I can't live there I can't
settle there I can't make alian bring
the people there
let me just go for an hour let me go in
and out let me just come one night ever
means let me see it let me just go for
one night let me just see it and he goes
on and on and on of course many others
desperate why do I share that because it
shows the Chuka the love the yearning
The Thirst the magnetic draw that Moshe
Rabino had
fair at this role and here we are here
we are in the cusp we're in the Shabbos
Tisch above there are legitimate reasons
not to make Aliyah but there's no
legitimate reason not to be struggling
with and planning for when we'll make
Aliyah
the question is not if but when we
should have that yearning for the land
we should be uncomfortable where we are
we should want like
and not insist on all the upgrades and
all the Comforts and all the luxuries
and all the protection and all the
however we can get there what a gift
what a privilege what a blessing what a
time that we're living in that we can go
we have to be grateful so we don't
khalila lose it and we have to transform
that gratitude and that yearning to take
a little peace a sliver of
ourselves to be able to fulfill that not
if but when parag dial it possible Torah
now continues
we mentioned last week is the greatest
muscle safer that we have
if you take divarim then
so now we get to some of the muscle now
Jewish people listen to The Hook image
button that I'm teaching you so that you
live on Tiff you you want to live
if you live absentura in mitzvos you
might have a pulse but you're not alive
you're just struggling through this
world you want to really be alive you
want to touch immortality you want to
touch eternity you want to really be
alive then
material then
you have to be not only observing you
have to be listening
I'll tell you a shot in this plastic I
just thought of in this moment right now
right now
you don't listen what do you do with
them
you perform them you act on them you
behave them they regulate your life your
lifestyle the Italian should say now
Christ are you listening listen closely
Step Up
it's time to live like Torah Jews
observe Torah law
it doesn't say he says Shema listen why
listen why listen
because I think it's not enough to
observe
there are many people who live checklist
Judaism
I said check blow the show for check
with the cat put on the throne check
check check were you present did you
hear those mitts screaming out to you do
you understand the panemias the depth of
each of these Mitzvahs did you take
advantage of the invitation the
opportunity to connect with the Divine
did they speak to you and who you should
be and what your mission is
smart are you listening to the Mitzvahs
what made me think of this right now
because this just
jarda thought
listen to the what do we say every
single morning
in between Shema when we stand up for
the shimono Esther what are we say in
Israel what do we say ishma
limit
wow you know who's blessed you know
who's fortunate you know who's lucky
Ashley you know who is if you hear the
Mitzvahs talking to you if the mitzes
are calling out to you if the Mitzvahs
are calling your name if the mitzes are
telling you they're profundity in their
depth if the mits speak to you
wow that's our life that's our mission
that's our purpose not just to perform
them perfunctory not just to observe
them or do them
but to hear them to listen to them
only then are you alive you could do
everything on the outside right you
could live the checklist Judaism on the
outside but you're not alive unless
you're listening to the mitzvos and
that's the reminder not just
but every day when we dive in Asha is
don't just do them
listen to them they're talking to you
it's villain or talking to you they're
saying give me a kiss know the partials
that are inside understand why you're
binding your arm your heart and your
head why are you putting this animal
hide how are you elevating Trent listen
to it you're lighting the Shabbos
candles don't just I got it the Coco's
still in the other guys at the table
this kid's still not ready yet listen to
the Shabbos candles talking to you
they're calling your name and they're
saying bask in my light fill the warmth
of these candles diving for your
children illuminate the world every myth
is calling out to us it's speaking to us
only then are you alive okay that's my
own interpretation
I never say original thoughts you're not
supposed to say
I hope it's okay I just had an original
phone but it was an original thoughts
turn in the page
continuing on this thing is
Safeguard and perform them it is your
wisdom and Discerning the eyes of the
people who will hear these decrees and
will say surely a wise and Discerning
people is this great nation I decided
not to share with you
but those Applause Torah has a long
discussion over here on this about the
wisdom and the genius of Torah that
everything really is in the Torah and
from the Torah observe and keep because
this is
among the nations of the world they'll
find it all in Torah and then he goes on
is a whole essay
um
Torah and our tradition knew the truths
of Science and even technology before
the world you say what are you talking
about you know what he's talking about
he collected
we the Torah knew the world was round
even long before Columbus Copernicus
this one that one we already had the
traditional resources of a reference the
Torah is round we had x-ray
x-ray we had x-ray before the Torah the
ability to see inside the bones he
quotes all this from the Moon catcher we
have it goes through all these kufos
um
going seeing from space
technology he has all these examples
where science only caught up with
torah's you see from this Posse but I
wanted to go a different direction and
that is from
silovich number two
and you should keep them and do them
this is your wisdom and understanding in
the eyes of the people the Torah was not
given to the non-jews directly but
Hashem has offered to all of mankind
indirectly as a promise a vision an
eschatological expectation the ultimate
end of History the Torah was given to us
so many Millennia ago our task was and
still is to teach the Torah to mankind
to influence the non-jewish world to
redeem it from its orgiastic way of
living from cruelty and insensitivity to
arouse a mankind a sense of justice and
fairness in a word we are to teach the
world the Sheva Mitzvahs that are
binding on every human being this past
except of cellulitic is the motto and
mission statement of a Jew that the
Torah is not meant for the Jewish people
alone don't hide in the corner and don't
live so insular and don't only worry
about ourselves our fate and our destiny
the Torah was given for us to repair and
redeem hashem's world to be able to
redeem mankind to teach and I don't know
a time that the world needed the values
and principles of Torah more than now I
don't know what time it needed it more
than now
I sometimes you know if you look online
ramanus Friedman
his teachings are watched the numbers
are outrageous a million and a half
people saw a million people listen to
this video hundreds of thousands listen
to this let's talk to one of the people
who helps him disseminate his Torah and
he said yeah the majority of the
audience are non-jews he's talking about
the wisdom of marriage and of parenting
and of happiness and of Life he's taking
Torah and he's expressing it in a
vocabulary and making it accessible to
the world and that's our mission
that's our purpose that's what we're
here to do now Torah you're not allowed
to teach a nanju Taurus
that's meant for the Jewish people
in fact one of the big discussions and
debates around the translation of Shas
when Art School translated we take for
granted today Arts girl finished bodily
now they finished yurushami now they're
going through Texas Art scroll Mama
unbelievable what Arts girl puts out but
if you look at the very first volume of
the very first printing I think it was
Macos when they started to translate
shaft you'll find the haskamas the
godola Israel wrote and they gathered
from everyone they could you know why
there were people very opposed they said
what are you doing
it's going to be in the Library of
Congress it's going to be in secular
libraries any non-juna can open up our
gamara our shots and access our Torah
that's supposed to be
it's an Aramaic and it's written in such
a
complicated way that requires to
celebrate and now you translate it and
simplified it you made it accessible to
the masses it was incredibly
controversial and there were those who
were opposed to it and it was very bold
of art scroll to push through and look
at the gift that's given the world but
it's not push it because Toshiba Pez man
for Jews alone
it's for the whole world that's why it's
in the dresser at every hotel room
and
and certainly Noah the Rebecca had major
campaigns to teach and promote the
observance of shavements the world is
upside down and backwards they don't
know death they don't know basic
biological definitions we are
reinterpreting basic institutions and
policies and principles the world is
increasingly confused and not
recognizable and now more than ever we
should not shy away we should share with
the world proudly and non-defensively
and unapologetically what we stand for
because
they should find you online and offline
at work and in the supermarket and they
should say oh that Jew taught me
everything about marriage and about
parenting about life and about
generosity and about health and about
mental health and about
we've been assigned another mission
continues with the roof to be the
message carrier a mentor not only the
show admits us that apply the sins of
Noah to the human race as a whole but
also a total outlook on life the entire
moral system to which Jews are committed
the non-jewish world is expected to take
note of the Torah life we lead to admire
our ways our customs and our mores
are rational and non-rational the Jew
must stand out in society as exemplars
our way of life must impress and attract
people and Fascinate their curiosity you
know there's a podcast
about Jews and money which I would think
is a terrible name for a podcast what's
it called maybe that's what it's called
you know what I'm talking about here
awesome millions of views you know the
audience is listening
it's non-jews
in Korea China why because they think oh
if you want to make a lot of money you
know who's smart and good at it now
they're tuning in and that might be a
very
stereotypical reason borderline
anti-semitic reason to tune in but great
they're tuning in because the podcasts
are Torah personalities sharing a Torah
perspective on finance and consumerism
and materialism and an approach to life
fantastic the nunchus around the world
are tuning in to hear the toe review of
these things
we're not meant to hold it back and keep
it to ourselves we should share it with
the world matantoro the giving of the
Torah initiated in the Messianic process
of redeeming the world from its credit
and profanity Torah was given to the
Jews told to disseminate the world of
Hashem among pagans atheist agnostics
and hiddenness thereby bringing them to
their maker it is a piecemeal slow
movement and will be consummated into
the era of mashiach on the mountain of
hashem's house will be established on
the top of the mountain so this is a
mission statement of Claude so and I
think we ought we bear an awesome
responsibility today
to step up and to fulfill it and then
the next possible continues
because who which is a great nation
known as Hashem was close to it as is
Hashem Our God whenever we call out to
him this should be reminiscent of
another Apostle authored by David that
we say every day three times a day
here says who is like a great nation to
call out Hashem
whenever we call out to him
now whenever we call out them
darshans is possible in another way
um
says you know somebody's trying to get
your attention family member or
acquaintance a friend so with people if
that person is Rich powerful influential
then you say yeah absolutely we're
related we're closed sure if the person
is poor powerless has no influence leave
me alone I don't know you we're not
related I don't know what you're talking
about back away
you pretend you don't even know him
is the opposite I feel like
a Jew a year it could be on most level
poor in totally knows in Maryland
virtues
Hashem is close to all who call out he
doesn't look at your bank account he
doesn't look at your social stature
because doesn't care how many friends or
followers you have whoever calls out
sincerely and genuinely Hashem says
absolutely we're closely related you
have my ear you can have my time what do
you need when we call out to Hashem in
Earnest we call out to Hashem sincerely
then it doesn't matter what our status
is it doesn't matter who we are what
matters is
it has to be sincere and authentic and
that's all he's looking at that's the
only way that he gauges and now I want
to share with you a teaching of
ravinefeld schlitter
a few months ago who was fantastic Torah
really beautiful Torah and I want to
share with you this incredible Torah and
then we'll begin the partial class
because we barely started
or they
the three Shabbos is the partition what
we know are called
These are the weeks the three shabbas
will read the haftaras of the qurban
instead of reading have Torah which is
these three shabbases that commented in
with three afterwards that have to do
with the destruction and then
Shabbos
We Begin the Shiva the seven of comfort
and cancellation now the game of the
foreigners I understand because the
destruction was coming we put ourselves
in the mood we studied the cause it
makes sense
this is a classic question
if we have to observe Tish above but we
get up off the floor Thursday night and
this year because it's a Thursday night
you may be able to start preparing for
Shabbos and Friday morning you can turn
on the music
singles events everywhere kiddish is
everywhere it's Mass relief of claw
Israel music's back on back in the pool
everyone will look slick with their hair
cut and trimmed beard and one deserve
Weinfeld us do so many others what's
different
what happened what changed where's the
nahama what Comfort what does that mean
Thursday she's coming Friday morning the
best is going to descend from above
but even if it doesn't will it still be
Shabbos nachamo
yes but why where's the where's that I'm
a classic question we've addressed it
many times a classic question listen to
the Weinfeld the partial begins with
most
but he's denied and if you took him
after he's denied I never noticed this
and I wonder if any of you have listen
to this question
moshadavin's 515 times when over how
long where we started out feels like a
long time ago but we started this year
with that question when where how
moshead of in 515 times and Hashem said
nope you can't go in and how does Moshe
respond who is like the Jewish people so
close to Hashem they call out whenever
they want and he always answers yes
I never noticed this question
we just turned the page we went from
515 times being told no with finally the
door and the gate being slammed shut in
his face no to a moment later oh it's
almost like it's cynical who is so great
what nation is so great they can call
out and cry out to Hashem whenever they
want and the answer is yes how could the
continuation of the second be understood
because you just dabbing the answer was
no
and it also has to be understood that
after Hashem tells Moshi is not
accepting his request he tells Moshe he
says no
but I'll tell you what climb up on rosha
piska
Yama vacation
climb the mountain and look in every
direction and you see that over there
give a cook give a look
you're not going in Cruel it's cruel why
would he tease Moshe why is Hashem not
only can you not go in I want you to
look how good it is and by the way you
still can't go in
why would he do that to motion says
rewind fell to answer these questions we
see that mushrooms did not go unanswered
he got a very clear answer it's not that
Moshe wasn't answered they were answered
and what was the answer
no but part of that answer is Hashem
telling Moshe that even if you don't get
where you want to go or you don't get
what you want to get
yearning itself is creating a connection
and that in itself is a partial yes
you didn't get the answer you wanted but
the process of asking over and over
brought you closer to me gave you a
greater awareness of me
heighten the relationship and the
connection that we have and that in
itself is a yes within your no when it
comes to davening love doesn't have to
be that a person gets what he's asking
for it's through the trila person makes
that connection when discussing a
spiritual objective a person creates a
connection with that spiritual objection
by yearning and wanting that objective
even if you never reach it so even if
the answer in the end was no
but the closeness the connection the
transformation that you underwent was a
yes within the know when Hashem answers
the answer of No and then told them now
climb up and look in every direction
Hashem was telling him to go and see in
order to increase his yearning and
longing because moshe's connections are
belonging through longing it was it was
specifically through the yearning that
it was making that connection that's
what I mean 515 philos he doesn't enter
it Israel he was making the connection
through the tequila itself he didn't get
in if there's someone you love and you
Daven over and over and over and over
for them do you think you love them the
same at the end of the talent that you
said for them as you did at the
beginning
you love them even more you love them
even more tonight tomorrow we'll observe
the fourth year outside of my dear
friend or by Dr Brian galbot it's hard
to believe it's four years and at the
end from when he was diagnosed on the
amount of Tale in this community poured
out and Beyond and as much as we
appreciated and loved him before the
result of it was a big no it was a
horrific no it was one of the worst no's
that we've ever gotten
put all those to hilum and all that
Dominy was not a waste it was not for
naught it left us closer to Hashem and
it left us closer to Brian
the person pours out their heart
515 filos that Moshe offered to go in
Terrace Israel the answer was that no
you can't go in but I left them feeling
closer to Hashem and feeling closer and
connected with Eric Cicero with erits
Israel it was a belonging through
longing that's our weinfeld's language a
belonging through longing it wasn't a
belonging through entering but it was a
belonging through longing the posix says
simple meaning is Hashem became angry
but the mashaka has a different
interpretation Moshe wanted to enter to
throw the Builder base that make Dash
and do the gemara tikkun he wanted to
complete the Deacon Christ real needed
Mushroom in his desire to enter the land
was nothing to do with the physical
pleasure he wanted the spiritual Heights
attainable only inert Israel but Hashem
was showing him that the time had not
yet come for the ultimate Redemption it
was not time it was not time from the
word over expressing that in the middle
of pregnancy an Uber it would be
premature to have the baby imagine
someone davins in the third month let
the baby be born in such a tough
pregnancy the baby born with the baby be
born you don't want the baby to be born
then it's not yet the time it's
premature and it won't survive and the
Redemption can't come before the time a
premature birth of redemption will end
in a tragic stillbirth a miscarriage
that's not what
is about reframing the golis experience
and instilling in ourselves the
understanding that just like when a baby
is born everything he is as a
consequence of a healthy pregnancy
is what creates the gaullah we're in a
gestation period we're forming and
forging and we are growing we're
actually making the ghoula with our Voda
now and that's the even though come
tishima when we get up on Mozart hasn't
come yet he's still not here there still
may not be a basa he's still not here
yet
is even after the no I feel closer than
I did before
Israel
to Hashem is that even within the know
there's all these yeses of things I
learned about myself
of all these new parts of me that I've
acquired through this experience and
through this and through this process it
goes on he has more to say about this I
think it's a very very beautiful idea
Hashem was in torturing motion by saying
climb up and look out he was trying to
create more of a longing because be a
belonging through longing it would be a
yes within the no that was the reason
why did Moshe Abe know and how could
moshebenu afterwards say isn't Hashem
amazing he always says yes he just gave
you a big fat no and you're singing his
Praises that he always says yes the
answer is he didn't say yes to the big
yes of going into the land but he said
yes to your feeling closer to him and
feeling closer to the land even when we
get a no and we've had some terrible
knows of late that we are still reeling
in pain and don't begin to understand
the pain of the people who got that no
but there are yeses that we can look at
having come together as a community have
been done one in one dollar a day in a
minute of day of learning having come
closer to the people who are no longer
here but we think and care and love them
more than ever or we thought we possibly
could there are yeses within the know
and that's what moshebana was showing
appreciation for even after 515 knows
there was a yes and that was a longing
through belonging that Hashem gave him I
say climb the mountain one more time and
that's the nahama that comes and Shabbos
nachamo that even if we don't get the
big yes not yet here but we identify the
smaller yeses within those nose there's
a big no that we're out of time
this Posh is action-packed we didn't
even get to the SRS at dibros we didn't
get to Shema we have
we didn't get to we didn't yet what we
didn't get to was a whole other Shear
into itself wishing everyone a wonderful
summer we'll see you when we're back on
August 29th until then catch up old
years listen to other people but come
back afterwards to us too and to have a
fantastic summer
