so i want to share some unbelievably
deep ideas with you regarding ello but
the way that i want to start is with
robin iona's famous analogies famous
marshall and if you've heard it before
there is no such thing as hearing this
enough times the martial goes like this
there's a bunch of people who are in
jail
and some of them decide they're going to
break out so they decide they're going
to dig a hole out and they're going to
escape
so after a couple days of freaking how
they can do it they finally dig their
hole
and
they all escape
a couple hours later the guard comes by
and he sees that there's one person
who's still in the jail cell he's
sitting there he just decided he wasn't
going to leave
so the guard starts getting all upset he
opens the lock and he goes into the jail
and he starts beating this last guy who
didn't escape
and the guy wouldn't escape is thinking
hey listen i'm the good guy i stayed why
in the world are you beating me up
and the question is why was he beating
him up what was so bad if anything he he
listened to the rules he didn't escape
the jail
but you wanna know why the guard got so
upset
because
what's the purpose of a jail the purpose
of a jail is to keep you there against
your will the purpose of a jail is you
weren't incarcerated you did something
wrong and now you are being punished
but what did this man do he said no i
actually i could get out of here i could
escape like everyone else but i'm not
going to
he redefined
the jail
as
something that's not the jail
he decided that he was going to stay
there
by his own will
and in doing so the guard obviously you
can say practice the guard was upset
that everyone else escaped he took it it
ain't go out on this guy no but he's
upset that this guy turned the jail into
something it's not
an l is an opportunity for the
extraordinary it's an opportunity to
connect to yourself to
chuva is as marvel explains it's
returning to your true self your higher
yourself your best self this opportunity
to connect hashem in the deepest way to
become the best versions of ourselves
and if we don't take an advantage
of that opportunity we are redefining l
with something it's not and that's the
ultimate corruption which is taking
something that could be true it could
reflect its true purpose and we are
corrupting we are
we are
we we failed to connect to what it
really could and should be
and so now the question becomes what
what is el all about because
here's the way that i want to pose this
to you how do you think of ello
when you think of elopham yourself what
do you think of
so a lot of people actually they think
more of of din judgment they think of
ownership punishment of fear of year and
at the higher year of connecting to
hashem in this awe-inspiring way as
they're all explains but the lower level
of era which is more
just being scared of being punished
and
a lot of people they also they don't
relate well to owl because they think of
it as a time of self-criticism of just
losing your self-worth and saying
another year and i'm nowhere near where
i want to be nowhere near where i should
be
and the questions like this how many
people actually perceive our as a time
of opportunity of connecting to their
higher self the connecting testing of
connecting to the oneness of reality the
oneness of hashem of yes obviously you
want to connect to the themes of din and
onish and all of those are true but
everything's nuanced it's like others
not fully happy because we don't have
the base of mitosis and of is not fully
sad because we're heading towards the
building the basement we're heading
towards monsieur we're heading towards
our destination and
they've only gone and actually many
explain that you can never be fully
happy in this world
because
the world is not as it should be but you
can never be fully sad because you're
alive you're connected to hashem
everything is nuanced so l is
it's a serious time
but not serious that it lacks that
beautiful awe-inspiring nature of
heading towards purpose and destination
so the question that i have for you
is like this number one how are we
supposed to tap and tell in a deeper way
but number two
what is it all about
what is the theme
of l
because if you think about it all these
things that i mentioned din ownershira
uh connecting to hashem
these are rosh hashanah concepts
so there is this misconception
that l is just the precursor just a
prerequisite it's just leading towards
rosh hashanian kepper the omnirain it's
really l has no independent identity it
is simply part of something else
is that true
is l simply
just getting us ready for rosh hashanah
it doesn't really have its own unique
topic it's any purpose it's just there
as part of something else and the real
the depth of this question is that zman
itself is so powerful
as a concept
is a powerful concept
comes from the word
which means to prepare it allows things
to come into being does time exists the
classic philosophical question
so some philosophers will say that time
is simply a
measurement of movement time doesn't
exist there's no such thing as time
but
some will say in the balloon will say
that no time is real
time is actually
not only measuring existence but
allowing existence to come into being
beratious
and the villenegon quotes ghazal where
he says that beratious is the creation
of time
and time is the creation of the
possibility of bringing things into
being
so time
reflects not only the measure movement
but the possibility of movement the
enabler the cause of movement
but then the question becomes like this
what's the nature of time
is all of time the same
so the classic philosophers will say yes
time is just potential you can make any
use of time you want but time is just
what it whatever you make of time that's
what time is just potential but there
are explains that time actually
is circular
there are themes shafa there are themes
bracha there are themes in time where
kashmir who brings in certain shaffa
cern bracha certain
potential and each moment contains its
own potential but each year has that
yearly cycle of themes so pesach
because we celebrate our leaving with
ryan it's that we left mithrine because
it's
the time is actually
instilled with this potential that's
where actually explains that avraham at
so low eat matzo why because he says
rashford explains it was pesach well
what does that mean it's pesach you see
specific didn't happen for another
couple hundred years what are they doing
but time
is built in with these themes with these
potential
this unique potential
and avraham was tapping into this month
and i can see yesterday that would
happen later but it's
the reason why we left mitsrayam on that
night at that time is because of that
potential that was already instilled
within time
but then we have a problem
because now time is just a circle we're
just going in circles every single year
tapping into certain themes so what's
going on
but the idea is like this
the idea is that
time
is actually building spirals
every single year there are certain
themes instilled within the yearly
shenandoah the yearly cycle of
but every single year
we take it one step further
meaning we go the same circle but every
year it's one step
above so we're the same point in the
circle but one rung up and we're
creating a spiral
that's why the rampart explains that
every single year has its unique topic
and every single month every single day
has its unique purpose if you understand
the themes of the months you can tap
into the unique themes of what this
month is about but how we're going to
take that theme to the next level
but then the question becomes what is
the theme of owl
what is the theme of owl
because if zman is so powerful and if
each man each month has its unique theme
what is the theme available
and if you want proof that it has a
unique theme
we blow chauffeur and now
we'll talk about a little later that
they're different hug them some have the
minha to only blow show for the 25th of
el why we have to think about why we
don't hold that we
obviously you know that we blow
chauffeur from rotorua gel
if we're blowing shift from from
scholarship something's unique about l
itself the whole month has some unique
theme
and i want to delve deep into this i
want to delve deep into this by delving
deep into the midst of chauffeur
what is the mitsubishi really about why
do we blow chauffeur
what is the purpose of longshot for
obviously it's loud you know in a simple
level we'll talk about how it wakes you
up but there's something so much deeper
and i want to get to the root of the
midsole chauffeur
and the real starting question is why do
we blow chauffeur
well what's the purpose besides for
obviously it's loud it makes you
the wrong button will talk about you
know waking you up but like on the
practical level like you know obviously
it's different it's it wakes you up so
to speak but what's what's the deeper
root what's a deeper purpose
and to take it a step further what is
the actual mitzvah of chauffeur if you
look at it the rambam formula is a
missionary the mitzvah is ko shofar
lishma kohl shafar look up in the
mission torah
didn't string that he connects if it's
over
which is interesting he connects those
three together but
the mitzvah of chauffeur
is called chauffeur the coal
what's called cole means the sound the
sound that's a very unique terminology
it comes up in hazard very unique ways
the condom of coal colos
what is a coal
has that
what's the difference between coal and
the other sound
what's the depth of coal but let's take
a step further the rama says something
fascinating
he says that the principle
of mitzvah baba vera
doesn't apply to a stolen chauffeur
he says that if you because the mitzvah
is called show first the sound if you
have a stolen chauffeur you still are
making me fulfill the mitzvah chauffeur
because the mitzvah is the sound it's
disconnected from the physical
vessel the physical tool of the physical
chauffeur
what's going on here so let me give you
a little background just to understand
this we can spend hours talking about
the consummation of era and assad
let me give you a little background here
miso baba vera is the concept that if
you do an avira and then do a midfield
with that same object
the simple understanding is that the
mitzvot doesn't work
so
what's the classic example rule of a
guzzle still a little of silver you
can't use it
and the the gemara actually talks about
it when
the first day has to be the questions
will come only applied to escrow or lulu
as well
it has to be yours so you can't have a
stool a stolen one it doesn't belong to
you what if there's a transfer of
ownership well if there's a issue with
if you actually do own it still can't
use it because of mitsuba vera
it's a mitzvah shaking with love which
came haha miami
what's the problem we have a principle
is if you do a positive commandment
mitzvah
and negative commandment the idna at the
same time then it's it it overrides doka
it overrides and you're able to so to
speak to the mitzvah
so first of all has that work and what's
the difference between that mitsub
and assad
so obviously you have a time difference
but why should that make a difference
what's the time difference the acetate
there's a midfield variable being then
with the very same instant the idna
mitsuba bavaria is you're doing a vera
first and then you do a misspell later
on
why should one work on one dozen so
there are different explanations we'll
go through a little bit obviously these
are sugars which you need many many many
at least a full length shirt on the
sugar itself which i'm just going to
give you a little bit of the overview
just so we can understand like the
problem with the rambam sheeta that
you can you can use a stolen chauffeur
it doesn't seem to make sense
so mitsuba vera
which is acid so why does acetylcholosa
say work
so
we're not going to go into all the
explanations but simply there are a
couple explanations one is that the
positive mitzvah knocks it out so what
what's an example of the horoscope some
of the classic examples
is you wear sits instead of shotguns on
it or you do reverse milo you're not
like cut saurons off of your body part
but you do brush me left foot straws you
cut off the there's a trash on the arla
you cut that off
for the brishmilla so those are
acetylcholos to say in the midsole works
what why is it work so you can see that
the mitzvah knocks out the ovary you can
say that
in the final equation the assay is worth
more
so let's say
obviously you can't really quantify
these things and you're not supposed to
but let's say the ah say the mislasty
the positive commandment is 20 points
and the loss i say is negative 10 points
at the end of the day you get a positive
10.
so it's 20 minus 10 but you still get
something
but the deeper explanation is that why
are you doing this positive commandment
and why are you doing this negative
human why are you doing this why are you
doing this
the purpose of the mitzvah and the
purpose of the veer is for the mitzvah
in case the first meal you want to do
the british meal oh there's there's
jurassic you don't want to cut off the
trash it's there you want to do the
first meal when you're wearing scissors
with challenges you want to wear this
okay
the purpose is wearing the scissors you
can define the act as a mitzvah
the underlying russian and desire is to
connect with hashem and you can
basically redefine the entire misa
as a mitzvah
okay it's a lower level that's a they
can debate that but at the end of the
day
as long as it's been the same the same
act
mitzvah babavera you separate the myself
and then my severe the vice mitzvah so
first i stole love then i did the
midsole first i sold chauffeur then i
did a mitzvah of the chauffeur so you
can't define it as a mitzvah because you
didn't avair first so the reason why it
doesn't work is either you say
that the avira taints the mitzvah later
on so it's a lower level mitzvah it's
still a midsole level or you say that it
makes it that you can't do a mitzvah
with it as in it takes away the
possibility of fulfilling themselves so
it's only available or you say that they
actually knock each other out meaning
mitsuba bavira it's it's like plus 10
and -10 as in they knock each other out
so either
it's like
um
the the it's it's it's almost like they
clash against each other so to speak
we're not going to get into the
mechanics but i'm not going to get into
the spheres and i can get into the inner
logic the point is that mitsuba vera
in most cases
is a problem and you're not able to do
the mitzvot with
the
the object that was used to do an avira
interesting suggest
where you do navier which is a a mice of
here something which is us or not
allowed but you do that for a positive
purpose to get closer to garage barracu
like esther going to
which was potentially guillorious
that's why she said kashi
she's going to be us
after that i'm not going to get into all
the details but there are cases there
are very little loads daughters lots of
famous cases of virulent and when it's
okay when it's not okay
now here's the question the random says
that when it comes to chauffeur
mitzvah
avira is not a problem you can do it why
because it's not about the physical
object it's all about the coal
the coal the sound of chauffeur so first
of all we have to understand
since when does the when you do a
mitzvah obviously
you wanna
there are different aspects of the
midfield but you're still doing it with
a physical object are you saying lula
maybe the mitzvah isn't the physical
move it's to shake it and i'm in the
shaking is some ethereal spiritual
concept like why when it comes to
chauffeur can we remove
the coal
from the physical chauffeur
that's the the first question
in order to really delve deeper what i
want to do now is i want to understand
the thematic depth of chauffeur because
there are specific examples in torah
where a chauffeur is required
that we know classically elo and rosh
hashanah but that's not the only cases
and assadigan actually mentions 10 and
he goes through all them and tries to
understand like what's the connection
why do we do it for these specific
examples
what i want to do with you is i want to
go through some of them
and i want to try to understand why
why is chauffeur connected to these and
what is chauffeur really about what is
the theme what is the depth what is the
meaning in your intermediary concept of
chauffeur
because we blow shuffle by hell we blow
shuffle by rosh hashanah
and torah
so this week blew a chauffeur there was
a chauffeur blowing chauffeur sound the
colos
by mountain torah we had it before going
to war there's a here to blow chauffeur
um the torah tells us that when we when
we anoint when we coordinate
including mashiach meaning
you have to anoint them not only
obviously there's there's a whole
process so usually there's oil involved
but
and obviously we've talked about shaman
shmonger and the idea of the eighth of
of connecting with the transcendent but
there's idea of chauffeur we will show
further chauffeur have to do with us
there's many sources that talk about
some of their the surfer was going to be
blonde
why is the chauffeur whenever you have
a concept that appears in many places
into our thought
many different myths for those many
different sugars they're always
interconnected in some fundamental way
and the question is what is the
fundamental connection between all of
these themes all these topics
and obviously to understand that we need
to understand what chauffeur is really
about and to take it a step further
is perhaps the source of chauffeur
because i'll
talk about how
after avraham did not shake
he saw ram which was created before
creation
placed it there specifically for this
purpose and that's the you know the the
ram horns are connected to this and a
case he's like it's kind of blue
chauffeur we are doing the the
you know the chronos we are calling on
the clutch buckle to remember
of overcoming stricten and getting him
what is going on here
what what is
the the concept of a case yitzchak and
what has have to do with shofar what is
shofa really about why should chauffeur
affect our uh our
zman din our ultimate judgment on rosh
hashanah and el and once again back to
our question why are we being show for
an elo why why shouldn't we just do our
rosh hashanah
so let's start very simply because i
want to build this i want to build this
with you because
with everything in life and with every
toy idea every suggest every suggest
there's
levels there's a hierarchy of depth and
the shot is always
the best place to start
and you build layers and layers and you
build deeper so in a very simple level
the swiffer wakes us up
from a very simple level the chauffeur
literally wakes us up as a loud sound
okay the different types you know
tequila
we're not going to talk about that
tonight
although we could that's very deep
because we will talk a little bit about
the crying we'll talk about that and
some greater depth but a very simple
level we need to get woken up
i mean you know this i know this we are
we've been alive no matter how old you
are
whether you're five years old 10 years
old 20 years old 50 years old 100 years
old you know that
life becomes robotic
we become
just zombies we just start going through
the motions and we just get
lost within life itself we are not aware
we are not choosers we are not becoming
we are not growing
no matter how incredible you are i
guarantee you that you know that you
know that you can be more
but
we're tired
we're tired or we are sleepwalking
through life
and
i don't care how incredible or how much
you've grown if you are by yourself in a
room and you really think about it you
realize that you need a little bit of a
wake-up call
we all do we all just need a little bit
of that wake-up call to say
you're alive
and there's so much for us to do in this
life in this world
and the chauffeur just wakes us up and
the random says this says successfully
that it's meant to to wake you up out of
your your habits and your circles you
just
he literally talks about this if you
want to look up yourself and say hello
and he talks about it or you're seeing
him right
you basically just wake you up from your
slumber and he literally says that like
you know just like get you
get your
woken up and moving you know start chuva
is a process and you have to get woken
up to go on that journey
so okay so we start very simple that
the the
it's meant to get you to be joseph to to
really connect back to what
and the question that we're going to
talk about is is what does this really
mean because
in the fourth chapter talks about how
the chauffeur he wakes up our inner
world so now we're trying to get deeper
it's not just it wakes you up it like
shocks you
but it gets your inner world
moving
somehow awakens your inner self your
inner yetzer and inspires you to juva so
that sounds beautiful but we have to
understand what this really means
because
i'll give you a great example where
where the
you know i found this was a great
example in das tunos
and la madalid
so we're not going to talk about how
llama how does films are structured but
llamadale the the
basically uses the lushen of tokaya
he uses it
as the way to drive the idea of hashem's
one is to drive it deep into our heart
that that's his lush sun that's the way
he uses the word okay so
it goes from the intellect to like deep
internal experiential knowledge so
it's the way of getting you to say
like
beyond the intellectual stratosphere of
what you know you should do you actually
start experiencing and doing it and this
is a whole different topic but
we all know the famous idea that you
know the distance between the head and
the heart is about you know it's an
infinite journey but
that is we've actually talked about this
in the last year
concept of dust the concept of making
knowledge internal and real of waking up
your inner self where
we all know what we should and shouldn't
do if you'd be honest if you know what
you shouldn't eat you know we shouldn't
say you know you shouldn't watch you
know who you should hang out with you
know you shouldn't be doing you know
what you should be doing the reason why
we don't live by what we know we should
be doing is because intellectual
knowledge is not the right type of
knowledge
you have to have dust dialysis where
intellectual knowledge becomes
integrated with your very self it
becomes who you are you become so aware
it's like the same way that you're aware
that you're alive
if you were so aware of the truth
in that same deep experiential way you
would never ever do anything wrong it
would be impossible it's like never
shaking talks about malachim they could
do
a virus they could
disagree or disobey so to speak the will
of akash barachu
but it's like walking into a fire you
just wouldn't do it if you see as
clearly as they do what ms in checker is
you never choose shekker you always
choose ms but we we don't see through
that type of spiritual lens and we
basically can ignore intellectual
knowledge because we don't experience it
with that deep internal experiential
knowledge base of dust
helps us tap into something deeper and
we're gonna have to understand what that
means because
it sounds great
and it's good to start this way i mean
just intellectually understanding that
chauffeur allows us to tap into a deeper
internal root state of self in
consciousness
but what does that mean
and just to put it simply before we do
build it deeper it's it's important to
really
understand the importance of breaking
habits of getting out of cycles cycles
of spiritual death of
you know if you're doing something it we
i would say everyone has that one
comfort zone where they just
have done it for the past now a year 10
years 20 years it's just the same
problem
and it's just a cycle it's like we can't
fathom breaking the cycle a chauffeur
the concept of chauffeur is breaking
it's breaking the shackles breaking the
cycle it's getting you outside of the
comfort of your your habits
and allows you to recreate yourself
and that's actually part of the idea of
blowing chauffeur before war is blown
from before war is waking you up
to what waking you up to the
consciousness
that or the awareness that al-qaeda
is going to be the ultimate source of
your victory it's
helping you direct yourself towards
hashem so the idea of chauffeur is
opening up yourself to a higher
awareness to a higher knowledge to a
higher connection with your source it's
it's also it's this concept of tapping
into root tapping into
starting point tapping into origin so
your origin the origin of everything the
origin
of reality tapping into the root tapping
in
connecting to hashem in the deepest most
real potent way
that's the concept of chauffeur in the
deepest
most
unqualified form it's about root it's
about and we're going to talk about how
coal is the concept of root voice
we're gonna have to understand what that
means
but chauffeur is that root and it's
supposed to be a cry
a blast which which reaches into your
heart and carries you back to your
higher self and carries you back
it is a tracing back to origin
to root the birth of reality to the
creation of reality to creation of
yourself
to your ultimate root
and the underlying principle before we
develop this is understanding that
is
is our ultimate root but not just in the
sense that gosh but who created the
of the world now a lot of people think
that gosh don't create the world before
i shall create the world there was
nothing
as the villain
obviously many many many other alibaba
will explain before asham created the
world there was insuff there was only a
sparrow
once akash created the world the the
mice uh of creation the act of creating
the world was an act of creating
something from not
nothing really you can either say
everything but it's not really
everything it's it's no thing ain is no
thing it's that which is beyond thing
now which is a thing is is is concrete
it's physical it's finite it's limited
before hashem created the world was
beyond thing
but then he created a mockum a space
within himself
for us to exist if you take a cup and
you fill it with lead and you want to
pour water into that cup you can't pour
anything into it because it's filled
with lead
if you have a cup that has space
you can pour water into it kashmir will
create a space a malcolm within
themselves for us to exist we exist
within akash which is why we've
explained many times
that whenever someone feels distant from
akash baraku we talk about the concept
of makko right berhama who on the sir
now we're not going to get into exactly
why we do it then but
when someone dies
we say that you might think that the
person that died is very distant from
hashem but
he's still within
you think you're distant from that
person from your relative no
you're just in a different level of
reality but we're all connected to the
ultimate malcolm because we're all
within
it's the idea
of
understanding the concept of sourcing
yourself back to the root of reality is
understanding that you're already within
so to speak and it's about going
deeper and deeper within yourself
to the ultimate root of self and
consciousness the ultimate root of
reality ultimate root of existence which
is
an existence exists
within hakaresh
will say
would not need to create the world the
world was hashtag will the world into
existence and never explains that
creation is constant so it's not a shame
create the world one time in history
hashem constantly creates the world
and we exist
within
we exist within akash baruch what is
chauffeur do
chauffeur
helps us get back
to our route chauffeur traces it back to
our ultimate malcolm to our ultimate
rhetoric in itself
and the shoresh of chauffeur actually
has the same root
the same show showresh as many other
very interesting words so for example
le chaper which means to
go back to the root and repair or
improve or shapir which means
spiritually beautiful right something
that's like at root
perfect and beautiful or may shafir
which is amniotic fluid it's the liquid
and membrane for the fetus it's
what's meisha fear is when you were in
the womb when you were at your
root it's like the birth process the
creation process of a person
and if you want to think about it like
this me shuffle your what is water
what is water because this is very deep
this actually gets into something
powerful
water as the morale explains is formless
it takes on the form of its container
something that has form
always stems from water
so the concept of water is breakdown
into formlessness and then the creation
of form which is why every creation
process always stems from water
when the eclair special created the
world
the dry land emerged from the water when
karchberg recreated the world by the
marble a garbage bag first immersed the
world back in water back into a formal
state and then the dry land once again
emerged
from the water
later on when the cars broke who
took the creative
component of reality the creative stage
of reality to the next level by creating
client israel he did it through korea's
yamcha
and morale explains that klysol went
into the amsof
was emerged in the water so to speak and
then re-emerged reborn recreated the
with new form as clients as a nation
they entered as individuals and they
emerged reborn as a single nation
and there's many many other examples but
the most important for right now is you
you and i when we were in the womb we
were in this formless perfect state we
were
emerged within or immersed within the
mean shafir
we at our route at our birth stage our
root stage shapiro chauffeur and our
root
and the gemara needed that in the good
morning and neither that flamin of a
base which we've explained many times
explains that when you were in the room
you were in a perfect state you were
learning colossal arakula and the
villain explains that it wasn't just you
know
you were learning cultural in the
deepest sense cosmic torah
you understood all of reality the
purpose of reality and your unique
purpose and you came into this world the
mile hits you on the mouth and you
forget all of it so you can come into
this world and build it yourself but
me shafir were tapping into the concept
of root when you were in the womb
you were perfect and the concept of
teshuva is going back to that root
of
achieving your perfection the perfection
that you had as a gift when you you when
you were in the womb
and the chauffeur is what helps you
trace back to that root
and that's why the whole concept of
mikvah make this so powerful mikvah is
we go into water and what's the purpose
of it it's a recreation of self you go
into the mikvah and you are reborn
when you go into the water
you're formless you're going back to
that fetal state
that state of perfection come back into
this world purified and reborn because
water i mean obviously a miami territory
is also that purifying entity which is
the mechanism of helping us go back to
our torah is the root
it's the direction it's the revelation
of the wrestling quest baruch who the
rest of which helps us achieve teshuva
but the concept of mikvah
is this concept of recreating so that's
why the world went through make the
process the dry light emerged from the
water by by the creation story and by
the mobile and by kriya samsuf
but we also have a mikvah for someone
who converts to judaism is reborn right
gare
like it causes
like a newborn person
and when a person goes to mikvah they're
they're reborn when we are in our womb
it's that same concept of mikvah and
that's the idea there's always this
connection between mikvah and 40. right
make that has to be 40 so
and the mobile
the
mobile said 40 days
all right and until four days the fetus
is maya bahama
and
in addition to all that we were in the
mid bar for 40 years there's a formation
of glycerol and
there's so many for example
or
you know we're not going to get to the
difference
but the mission of says that to get
wisdom it takes 40 years when you're 40
years old you get wisdom why because
what's wisdom wisdom is
creating form
out of all the different ideas if you
are someone who just knows hundreds and
hundreds of facts you're not a wise
person you're understanding principles
understand ideas you understand the form
the the very essential root form
concepts but someone who's
about
understands the essence of the ideas
themselves and this is the idea of the
number 40 which is such a powerful
number there are many other examples of
40. we're not going to get into all of
them
we can give a whole share on that
but the chauffeur is meant to bring us
back to our fetal state it's meant to
help us source ourselves back and that's
why what the here's the
have
a glitch that i have is what how many
days do we pull chauffeur it's amazing
it's unbelievable how many days
40 days russian el tilliam kipper right
because we
think about it's not 40 consecutive days
because it's through owl then rosh
hashanah and then you stop for a fish
meat chute and then you join your kipper
but it's from
yom kippur is 40 days how unbelievable
is that
40.
may shafir
chauffeur unbelievable so
the idea is that the chauffeur is
helping us connect back to our root
helping us connect back to our perfect
selves helping us coming back to college
it is literally the mechanism of waking
us up and helping us trace ourselves
back
to our root and it's so important to
realize by the way
and i've seen this so many times people
give up
they just say it's too late for me you
know i can't improve maybe i can improve
on this but not that like that i'm just
you know that's off limits i've i've
been messing up on that for my whole
life
and the rambam says explicitly and he
draws his inspiration from the gemara
zardoff
he designed all if it talks about
revelation
that
it's never too late
it is never too late
to become the best version of yourself
to shuffle that talks about this
individual
who
was the worst of the worst was he had an
intimate relationship with just about
every person he can find except there's
one person he went that one person and
she refused to have
relations with him and basically said
you know
there's no hope for you and he went to
you know all the different
you know
little just call them forces of nature
and ask for them to have to the aventage
and to accept them back and they said no
we're not he realized
it's up to me no one can do it except
for me and he
he did the impossible
and he died on the spot then he became
known as rabbi as a teacher
and
he taught us what he taught us that is
never too late to
to become
amazing to become extraordinary to
achieve the impossible in a single
instant you can
you know achieve
the immeasurable
unbelievable
achievements that you never thought were
even possible
and that's the power of chufa and it's
also realizing that
and this is something which i think is
really powerful if you look at that
command very carefully
he does something very interesting
he goes into the fetal position look at
that gemara he goes into the fetal
position i mean
the rambam basically is inspired by he
he says that russia can always do true
until the day he dies
and what's this idea of going to the
field position why is he going to the
field position
because the process of pure true truth
this person did
was going back to his field state it was
going back to his roots going back to
who he was that is teshuva and that is
what chauffeur is about chauffeur is
about getting back to our root and i'll
give you another beautiful example shift
shift rampua you know the the the
famous famous miriam who are the
midwives who saved the jewish children
and that's ryan so shifur what's that
nail what do you what do you hear shofar
what did shifter do unbelievable
schiffer took fetuses out of the womb so
first of all that's taking a fetus out
of its source right that's the concept
of source may shafir chauffeur
fetuses out of the womb
she also helped the jewish woman
and really the jewish people
she helped them connect and source back
the gospel right because of them
they were able to
you know have hope and life for the jews
that they were being destroyed by power
in the mid-stream the egyptians and
because of shiphrah because of shifa
there was still hope they were able to
really maintain their moon and connect
with
and connect back to their roots but
what's the most unbelievable finish here
the tour
asks the question right
they save the babies lives we know how
they save the babies lives so
unbelievable what is the tour say
a tour says that
and this is like a classic classic
cheetah is that she blew breath into
their nostrils right when the it's not
only that they didn't kill the babies
it's that they actually actively gave
them life and when the fetuses were born
and their children were born
they resuscitated them and they blew
life through their nostrils
which is like cajun barclay blew life
into the nostrils of manna they blew
life into the naturals of these babies
and
what what are we seeing here number one
we're saying breath right cold cold
we'll talk about this it's it's giving
that source that that deep root of a
voice but
what else do you see here she literally
blew into the naturals blowing chauffeur
you blow a chauffeur what else so the
tour says it's a what it where does
shifter come from schiffer comes from
the shores of shifo ferris which means a
reed because she would take a read and
she would blow into their nostrils
we literally
when it comes to
schiffer she
became a chauffeur she blew
you know life
into these children
unbelievable unbelievable
chauffeur is about connecting back to
our route connecting back to our our
macor our malcolm
our source
but it's something more as well it's a
cry
we need to understand a couple things
number one what is this kind of call
like this voice this this spiritual
concept of cold but also it's this cry
it's a cry it's a whale
and we actually learn it from a very
interesting source the the amount of of
of shepherd blows for us hashanah but
we're not going to get to that right now
but the idea of of
crying is something very interesting
because what does crying do
crying
tears
without getting into all the details all
complexities
crying is all about
the cessation of process the cessation
of movement
and just existing at root level so for
example when do you cry
you cry
when
you lose track of the process itself so
for example you thought you were going
to live for 50 years and you find out
that you only have a couple days left to
live you cry
because the path is gone
when else do you cry when there's happy
happiness you thought you were going to
have a couple days left to live the
doctor says oh my gosh good news you're
going to live for another 50 years
you're cured you start crying because
you thought the path was one thing and
the path was something else what's that
concept
that concept of confusion
of bakri also
like you know more than someone who's
confused
crying is
connected to confusion it's connected
when the path is distorted when the path
is lost
because what is the depth of crying
crying is when there is no more process
there is no more direction you are at a
state of being and a state of root and
part of it is toe part of it is
confusion and chaos but another part of
it is just this longing
and being at a place beyond process
which is the root
right
when you're at the root stage when
you're at the stage of connecting to
garageband transcendental level there's
no more process there's no more time
there's no more being or becoming you're
just with the root
when we cry
we yearn
we yearn to for a moment stop the
journey and just connect back to our
route
no i'm not going to you know work on
this i'm not going to work and i just
want to be with akashi i just want to
connect somebody just want to connect to
my source and it's almost
you're pausing the process of of the
journey of life and you're longing
simply to just
shoot back to the root
like the ultimate teshuva like that leap
of teshuva and
that's really what the ultimate rosh
hashanah concept is is that we we are
going back to our ultimate group beyond
space and time beyond process
and we will see a little more to talk
about that
but this concept of going to the
absolute root and this is the idea of
coal
coal coal chauffeur
coal is this concept of a unique sound
what's the uniqueness of coal now listen
very carefully because this is powerful
coal is a sound that is beyond words is
a root sound is a sound that connects
the absolute root essence of reality
itself and we need to understand what
this means
the best way to understand it like this
the roundup says that the mitzvah of
chauffeur is
so far
shofar what is coal
let's think of it like this number one
kaiser barco spoke
the world into existence what does that
mean there are five processes
five steps i should say of creation
there's will
then there's the thought
then there's
the process of taking that thought and
bringing it into reality you
break down the thought you
intellectualize the thought you
understand the thought you understand
the applications then you speak it into
existence
which represents the process of taking
that which is ethereal the the concept
and bringing it into the into the world
and then the actual spoken
end result is the d is the davar it's
the word it's the it's the word it's the
actual expression of speech or it's the
mice it's the action right
which is also why the rambam says that
it's not enough to have here who writes
you but to think about you you have to
speak you have to do video you have to
speak it because it's not enough to have
the thought you have to express it
into reality the concept of express
failure
spoke
who took the spiritual and expressed it
into the physical that's why we talk
about creation as the yomer all right
spoke the world
into existence
now here's the question
how we supposed to relate to speech
speech is the process of taking the
ethereal taking the infinite and
bringing to the final when you speak you
take the ideas in your head and you
express it into the physical world
now the words are not the thoughts
themselves
but they are an expression of them
now the
deepest root of sound is breath right
you take a deep breath
and through that deep breath you now
have the energy
or the ability the potential
to use that breath to express words so
you take a deep breath and now you start
to speak
nishima is the hebrew word for breath
nishama is yourself your soul
you take a nishima you take a breath and
that is the your your ability
think about that that's your ability to
express your soul express yourself
express your inner world out into
the world for other people to see an
experience nasheem is when enables you
to expression
the deepest root of manifest sound the
root of sound before there's any words
before there's anything
concrete before it becomes something
actual the root of sound
the root of expressing the self into the
world is called
col is the sound beyond sound it is the
sound beyond words for sure and it's
also the sound beyond sound because it's
the root of sound
it's the root of sound it's the wordless
voice it's the wordless cry it it's
the process of sound moving towards
words
words are expressed they're limited
they're finite when you say anything in
speech you're always limited because you
can say like for example you say i love
pizza and you say i love i love you to
your wife it's your husband
it's like it's just a word
you use the same word to describe as you
describe the relationship with your
spouse how's that possible it's because
words are always limited
they're a limited expression of your
internal awareness your eternal
experience your internal thoughts
the goal is getting back to the root
of where those words came from the inner
consciousness that created those words
that's why a word
davar
mila and teva the three words for word
in hebrew right you take your thought
you take your inner world and you mila
you cut it
up into just a finite little thing you
put it into a table you put it into a
box
and you get a device you get a limited
thing that's a word
but the goal is to take the words
to trace them back to to truly
communicate to truly understand anyone
you need to learn how to use the words
but get past the words and not think
about what you
use those words for but think about what
that person is actually trying to say
that's the key get back to their cold
get back to their wordless essence get
back to beyond with swipe there's a deep
idea we're not going to talk about now
but
understanding the power of silence
understanding the power of
living in a realm beyond words
where you're at a root stage that's why
the morale explains moshe i mean you had
trouble speaking because he lived in the
world of venice
and it was so beyond speech and only
once akash brought him created the
miracle of expressing tory into finite
words that you have divided by idaho
moshe that moshe now was able to speak
without a problem
the paradox of
being in the realm of the infant the
realm of silence the realm of truth that
which is beyond words and yet somehow
paradoxically and
supernaturally being able to then
manifest that infinite into the finite
for the finite to actually truly and
loyally manifest and reflect the
infinite that is extraordinary
that is extraordinary
and coal
coal is this this this root this voice
beyond words
and a coal
a coal can carry the infinite depth of
the idea
a call before it began becomes expressed
in davar and dibor cole can still
express the infinite
because it retains the fullness of the
idea without confining it into any
specific words think about that it
contains the person himself or herself
it is it hasn't yet been limited and
concretized into words and therefore
coal still is
the essence that still is the root it
still is the mccor it still is the
concept of chauffeur that root before
expressed
that perfect stage before expressed into
the limited where the limited is the
means to then re-access the infinite
re-access the root
it's not a corruption of there it
doesn't have to be
and that's why the for example the torah
refers to prophecy as kohl
hashem tells avraham to listen to the
coal of sarah and rashi explains that
that's referring to the prophecy of
sarah that she has a higher level of
prophecy she knows best right it's it's
the coal of hashem is
is representing the concept of of that
perfect root beyond words that that
source concept and
what we need to realize though
as we as we go further
is that
the concept of coal exists within the
realm of goron the throat right we have
the
there's always different mashallah
different analogies for relaying ideas
into our thought one of the ideas is
the connection between the head and the
body
the head represents the ethereal the
conceptual the realm of ideas the realm
of thought the realm of torah and the
body represents the realm of physical
realm of mice at the realm of mitzvah
and the neck represents the connection
between the two that's why the basement
is referred to as the neck
but the garone is also which is the
throat
it's the origin of voice and it's the
point of it's the point of connection
between the infinite and the fine and
the physical and the spiritual the
ethereal and the corporeal and that's
why
the throat is where prophecy
whenever it takes place it is
is the point of connection between
the spiritual and physical that's why
for example
moshe is moshe's
hashem spoke me to grow no shall moshe
hashem spoke through the throat of moshe
and that's why also hashem tells the
navy to cry out bigaron
cry out bigger one in the place of cold
a place of your throat that i mean raise
your coal like a chauffeur it's it's
the concept of prophecy the kinds of
prophecies connecting akash baruch who's
will into the physical world is the
concept of connecting the infant to the
finale connecting the head to the body
is the place of the guron
is the place of the throat
and that's what the chauffeur is the
chauffeur is a cry beyond words it's a
cry it's a whale beyond words it comes
straight from the south straight from
the shama and
it's the razon to connect uh god back in
the deepest way true to shiva to return
to our root to want that to to genuinely
want that when you list the shuffle you
want to tap into that red zone you want
to you want to you know tap into that
deep desire to to just
connect
and
and when you can tap into that root
desire there's nothing there are no
words to express it there are no words
to explain it and it's something which
really can't be expressed in words
because it's something
that you just want so badly there's no
way to articulate it
it's your deepest roots it's your
deepest breaths and it's who you are
it's what drives everything you want to
fulfill your purpose to become who
you're supposed to be and to connect to
your source in the deepest way possible
and that's why the rambam actually
describes chuva and dark age juventus
it's to constantly cry out to kashmir
you call up yourself in the rambam
base
talks about just crying out to college
barack but not not like
like crying
it's like crying out like there's a deep
yearning like genuinely wanting to be
with that
to sit in the oh hell torah to sit in
the
sit within the real knock and to feel
connected to hashem to really want that
that's the beauty that's the beauty of
chauffeur and it really it awakens the
root of ourselves it re awakens the root
of art in it's the coal
that reaches into our heart and awakens
us and carries us all the way back
and think about that think about how to
tap into that
and now we're going to start going
through some of the applications
harshinai
was the root of those calls roy
masocolos we saw clothes what is this
what does that mean
so what was the harshinai experience
number one jarcinia was an experience of
going back to our root selves we
experienced it where we experienced
the revelation of our sparkle's will
and we went back to our root
went back the the way that ghazal
pradesh went back to before the zuhima
before the poison of the when adam
sinned the sahara the
actually became part of him
and that's why he became physical the
ramban explains that he became mortal
but he wasn't going to die before that
became limited became physical the curse
then he has to work for life you have to
get pronounced all of these things the
zuma
the venom of the snake
we needed to also
before the the height we didn't need to
go to the bathroom
we didn't we just
was our bodies digested the food and
there was no excrement there was no
waste
what happened
by matar we went back to that stage with
the mun
there's no excrement by the mun we were
back in that perfect angelic state and
it was also
i mean think about it
we live in a world where everything is
filtered you have good and bad
right that's the concept of das
which happened when adam from
says joshua explains
the concept of not having to have
excrement means that there's no longer
filtration like everything is is told
everything is perfect
and
that was the state we re-entered it's
also
it's this realm of perfection the way
that the torah first was roy messicles
we saw the colos you don't see close you
you see things you hear colos why do we
see it
so the beautiful idea here is that
sound represents movement
seeing is static we we saw sounds
because this world um is the realm
of becoming a process
is where we experience who we are who we
became the conscious the self the mind
the internal being that we created
during life it's a state of being
there's an element of becoming as well
but the emphasis on being
we saw sounds because we entered into
realm of being where process sounds
became seen
as in static as in we were experiencing
the ultimate route
in a state of static experiential
connection with hakador sparachu
and it was a realm it was a state that
was absolutely unbelievable obviously it
was
because of the oneness of clydesdale
that we had achieved you know
the the beauty of of the actress that
was created by mountain tour of christ
were coming together as one becoming one
nation and that resulted
in the process of of mantaura when
claistro became one
we were able to fully connect to each
other ourselves and
and that was the mantor experience
but in a deep way there's something
beautiful here the ram khal explains
he says that that experience of mount
torah was going back to the root before
the creation of evil because at harcina
the kolos
says it was able to strengthen good over
evil
right i mean going transcending evil
what what does that mean
and this is based on the ram chaos and
das philos which is the evils of
creation
it's something which is manifest in this
world that root a cult of there is no
evil at root and one day we'll realize
how everything else manifests in the
world is just revealing the ultimate
good there really is no evil but by
mountain torah we went back to the root
and at the root there is only good so
the colos which helped us go back to the
root revealed that there was only good
and the good basically overcame so to
speak
evil it takes us back to a realm beyond
evil and that's the concept of
strengthening the concept of good
strengthening the forces of toph
deep ideas if that went over your head
that's okay
that's okay but chauffeur represents
that concept of root the concept of
tracing back to source that comes with a
birth of a beginning of root concept and
it's also the kind of that's why
is a rebirth
right what what's a grave grave is a
cover kevin doesn't only engrave it
means a womb why because you're going to
be reborn
from your cover
that's actually why people want to be
buried in there it's this frog because
you're gonna obviously
you know everyone's gonna travel towards
israel the morale talks about how
is is the source of of three seminaries
israel it's the whole idea we're not
gonna go into right now but it's the
concept of fool that there's two levels
and that
you know basically it's representing the
connection between the physical and
spiritual this world and the next world
and that we're going to come from omaha
in back into this world through
but the concept of
is a rebirth it's a rebirth of reality
we breathe of ourselves it's not just us
coming back and you're having fun it's
it's
we need a whole share on this but it's
coming
into this world at a higher level both
of ourselves and the whole world will be
at a higher level higher state there's
different stages of triasmism but in
essence it's almost like a rosh hashanah
is a rebirth in restaurant we are reborn
somewhere reborn it's root it's you know
a birth process it's chuva in a sense
and we blow chauffeur so you're seeing
so many beautiful examples here
and before we go into akira
i want to just briefly talk about the
concept
concept of blowing chauffeur and
overcoming din
part of the concept of blowing chauffeur
especially when it comes to rosh
hashanah is for malchios when we
recognize that
as as as our as our
core as our sources are the the one who
is so to speak governing all of reality
and bringing all of us to our ultimate
purpose
the ram khal explains something powerful
he says in der hashem in the fourth
chapter that chauffeur overrides din
that when we blow chauffeur we are
allowing kashmar jose speak to move from
the key saved into the kiser
what what does that mean
so
we obviously can give a whole shiran the
kansas
originally want to create the world with
strict in and then he ultimately created
the world with rachman what does that
mean or what's the purpose of
why can't hashem create the world
restricted in
but
simply put for the concept of blowing
the chauffeur
it moves akash so speak
does not give us exactly what we deserve
but allows us to have an element of
mercy in our judgment what does that
mean
so
this concept comes up in hazard many
many times
it seems to be you can understand it as
just a gift
it's it's not logical it's just you did
something wrong you deserve to be
punished but
gives you a gift
but their house is something
unbelievably amazing he says like this
hashem created the world within media
connected to me you get what you deserve
but why does he do that
he does that and that's part of the
answer why he added
he does that because we are in this
world to earn our perfection if he gave
it as a gift it wouldn't be appreciated
we've given many shrimp on why that
would be mean why can't college practice
creates that we enjoy free gifts but
coach brock created us that we need to
earn our perfection
now in order to our perfection we need
to it needs to be dead ask bias
so
also gives us
consequences for our actions everything
is then everything is ms
but what happens when we recognize the
hashem created then
what what happens when we recognize
hashem as beyond and not limited by din
then
can move from den to rahman
meaning this is a classic debate of
philosophical debate
is hashem limited hashem limited by
logic
so
classic
classic fluff is a philosophy we'll say
that hashem can't create a circular
triangle hashem can't defy physics or
something can't defy mathematics at
least
because those are absolute truths and
this idea here is basically saying
hashem created and we're not going to we
can get into a very deep discussion
about the root nature of everything in
this world whether this world is the
world a world whether there could be a
world where mathematics is different
whether it could be a world where
logic is different whether
all of these different fascinating
questions but the idea is that since
hashem is absolute oneness and he
created the rules of this world
he created the rules of din
he's not subject to them he can override
them once we recognize when we blow
shuffle we're recognizing hashem as the
source of reality the source of the of
then the source of everything
that helps us overcome them because we
say you created then you're not bound to
then you can actually do bachmann
and when we do that
refrain freelander actually applies also
right now
but the idea here is that
sulfur represents coal represents a root
represents that razor and kessler that
root beyond in that ultimate root of
reality
and when we blow shepherd we're able to
tap into that ultimate route
and that's also why we blow chauffeur
when we anoint a melech
why because what is a male first of all
when we anoint the mouth it's a birth
stage right it's a new stage of the
nation it's like a birth so that's one
aspect of sugar number two a malek's
role
is to inspire clients real to accept the
real nellie which is
like
what's the purpose of a leader leader
can be selfish the whole reason that
he's a leader because he wants power he
wants significance he wants to be
important
or a leader can just
reflect the will of the people and just
represent the people or a leader can
represent hashem a higher will a higher
ratson a higher malach and lead the
people towards a higher purpose towards
something that
might be difficult but is it's an
aspiring leadership that inspires
the followers so to speak to become
leaders in their own lives and achieve
the extraordinary and devote their lives
towards a higher purpose a higher
so rosh hashanah
is also connected to this concept of
anointing
why because
restaurant
so it's this concept of
the concept of connected to our ultimate
our ultimate source our ultimate
which is why we blow show for whenever
we anoint a male
it's always tapping into that same
concept and that's also the same thing
from alhams
for anointing
the talk about this the passage says
it's
is going to be blown to announce the
ultimate here the ultimate freedom and
my brother says that if you see a
chauffeur in your dream
then you can expect a gula you can
expect redemption
and the morale talks about this in depth
he says that chauffeur
is always linked to so he's linked to
some form of future redemption why
because number one once again
represents the birth of a new stage it's
it's the the starting process the root
of a new stage of reality
number two
the the the concept
of mashiach
is
a stage of reality where we'll have a
heightened awareness avocado we'll be
able to trace ourselves back to hashem
to our root
in a much
more potent and easier
way the world will reflect its root in a
much more manifest way and number three
it's also connected hashanah because
this is the
the awareness we're trying to reach on
rosh hashanah
and really through blowing chauffeur
is very much connected to this concept
of islamic where we see
who manifested reality in a very clear
real way
and this leads us to our next topic
and i know we've been developing a lot i
know we're getting deep and i know
there's a lot to think about here but
that is
that is the very essence of the topic we
are going deep
we are going very deep and the next
stage is the chronos
the chronos the concept and obviously
i'm tapping into a lot of themes of rosh
hashanah
the concept of aquinas akinasithak as
the source of chauffeur so
the question is where we learn
you know where do we learn out the
source that you have to blow from a
ram's horn so we learn it from the akita
okay
afterwards
the rim that
so i'll talk about how the aikido took
place in rosh hashanah
and there's so many connections between
the academic channel but
the gemara nation actually says and that
zainab and aleph that
in the zuchus of the akita
we can evoke the zakira of the akita the
the memory the remembrance of the akita
and zuchus
in the end but willing to shanks
hashem will so to speak move from the
keys
why wha what's so special about the kid
there are so many aspects of jewish
history that are so powerful why is the
akida connected to chauffeur
there are two aspects
number one
number one is yes side number two is
avraham's side
for me it's quick side
i want you to think about what it takes
to give up your life
to be most unnecessary we live in a
generation where it's hard to fathom the
generations before us they would give up
their lives like hashem like in a
heartbeat
but i want you to think about what it
means to be mostly fish
because first of all just you understand
the manifest result uh rizal explains
that yitzchak also spells keith's chai
the values of his spell which means
someone who's kate's at towards the
ultimate destination in the infinite
realm of reality while also being in
this world khai will also be living in
this world he's living in two realms two
dimensions and the gemara
also mentions how avraham actually did
shakhtar and he is this the first
example of triathlon where akash who
brought it back into this world
and that's why
the second brochure which
is about
the first example
represents what so what's
in what's it what's the akita what's the
willingness to be mostly nephesh think
about this
if we live in a physical world
and we don't believe in hashem we don't
believe in a spiritual reality we don't
believe that we will live after we die
there is no
logical explanation to ever give up your
life because that's the end of you you
cease to exist
you would do anything at all possible
to continue living
unless you believe life is absolutely
meaningless and
complete pain and misery in which case
the ultimate idea would be to commit
suicide which was actually a theory
classic philosophical theory that is
i mean it makes sense on its own terms
but when you live from a perspective a
meaning and purpose is absolutely absurd
but you have to understand the inner
philosophy that if life is absolutely
meaningless and painful you give up your
life the other explanation which is
github's
side is what
if i believe in hashem if i believe i am
connected to a reality beyond this
physical world i believe i'm connected
to my ultimate source
then
dying
is not dying because there's no such
thing as death
i will never cease to exist because i am
not a physical being i am a internal
spiritual being i'm in consciousness
that is
residing within my root higher self
higher consciousness that is residing
within a physical body and i am eternal
i am immortal i will never die
when israel was most
he was
committing to his belief
in
his own eternal connection to akash
baruch that he was connected to an
ultimate root
chauffeur
me shafir
connected to something higher to connect
it to a higher root
and the result is that yitzhak
created that ultimate concept of being
connected to something higher isn't he
realized it but he also is the paradigm
of
connecting to hashem on the highest
level in that sense
that's kate sakai that's
amazing that's
like the highest level of connection
being willing to be mostly fresh means
that you believe in hashem's will
to the ultimate extent that it's not a
sacrifice
i'm living in a line with in alignment
with the truth of course i'm going to be
most nefesh because it's not me giving
up my life for hashem it's me
devoting my life to hashem at whatever
whatever the cost and i will never cease
to exist i'm not giving up myself for
hashem i am simply
giving myself to hashem
and i will always be with
hashem whichever dimension of reality
wherever i am expressed and what was the
gift that islam received for being
the ruler
that you will never cease to exist you
will always live you will
not only will you live in the infinite
spiritual dimension but you will
actually be brought down back down into
this world it's unbelievable
chauffeur
now avraham's perspective
avraham's willingness to go against his
intellect that we can we obviously can
talk about occasionally forever it's the
most boundless topic
but
without getting into every step of the
process and all the different approaches
and every single thing we can learn from
here very simply put avraham was is the
ultimate act of din ultimate act of of
yira an old act of violence which went
against his nature number one
number two he would have to go against
his his
essence and that would be his legacy
that he was in each era which was
obviously what the mall said afterwards
that
he showed that he wasn't only a man of
president he was able to overcome his
nature and also do an active year for
but everyone would now know him as
someone who did an act of violence
and he was a he was a balker he was
trying to convince people to love hashem
that hashem is the ultimate source of ms
and truth and he's going to go and kill
his son
that's not exactly the greatest
inspiring speech like come to this
religion where hashem wants us to kill
our children it doesn't make any sense
the five reason number two
hashem told him that he's going to have
a nation with yitzhak and now hashem
tells him to go kill him doesn't make
any sense
number three hashem tells him to do
something that makes no sense as in
forget all the other aspects that make
no sense it doesn't make sense it is not
ove for avraham to kill yitzhak it is
not good and if avraham believes in
hashem buddhist hashem is toph hashem's
will is tov
how in the world is hashem telling you
something that is ra that is evil that
makes no sense
for him says what
i don't understand
but there's something beyond my
intellectual understanding of
hashem is the ultimate root beyond din
din bina that is intellect that's reason
that's logic that's mathematics that's
philosophy that's science
but i'm tracing myself back to the
ultimate root mccord the ultimate source
which is beyond that and now i'm
committing to
from both ends of yusuk and avraham it
is chauffeur
unbelievable unbelievable
and what was the ultimate
resolution of that
chauffeur the ram from before creation
the root of creation before the manifest
expression of reality that ram was there
from before creation it's literally all
there it's literally like in front of
you the ultimate brilliance of torah
it's like even
like
like this is unscripted right now
because i'm not supposed to be telling
you how unbelievable i think this is
just torah is amazing the torah is
delicious it is unbelievably amazing
there is like this is this itself is
chauffeur this just like brings you back
to the root that makes you just fall in
love with hashem when you see how
incredibly beautiful and brilliant tore
is
and the next step is what what when do
we
i'm sorry for getting a little
sidetracked i just loved her so much
the next stage is what the next stage is
which is the concept of tracing
ourselves back which is
well let's go slowly so the chronos is
connected to a case lock right
especially in russia shawna we talk
about the chronos
what's the meaning of memory
because obviously we're going to be
connecting all of this from l to russia
we're going to talk about l in a few
minutes
but the concept of the concept of memory
is what memory is sourcing something
back to
its root
when you remember something what are you
doing you're going back to where it
happened from where it came from you're
going back to its root
hashem is the ultimate concept of
zechariah
when we trace ourselves back to hashem
in the coming of memory we are rooting
ourselves back to our source
and if you want to really think about it
when we talk about
we're not really talking
in the sense we are but we're not really
talking about hashem remembering we're
talking about us remembering
we are remembering we are tracing
ourselves back we are sourcing ourselves
back to
and it's like that's the whole kind of
like
tries to disconnect us from hashem
carry
happenstance sexual immorality carry a
car cold to cool off the flame of
passion excitement is the three
explanations rashid is for karch
amali tries to disconnect us from russia
what do we do we say no we're going to
zeker we're going to remember hashem and
we're going to remember and blot out the
memory of a molecule what's the memory
of amalek disconnection from russian
we're going to blow out that memory we
are not going to switch ourselves back
to sourcelessness we are going to source
ourselves back to the actual source
which is a color
it's about remembering tracing ourselves
back to our root and if you want to take
another step remembering is not only
tracing yourself back to the root but
it's about actualizing that root
bringing that root into expression and
actualizing that you know the root is a
seed
the source the core
bringing that into reality because think
about what are your memories
your memories are actualized potential
every memory you have is something you
did something you thought something you
created something you actualized from
potential so the root is the potential
the memory is taking that and bringing
it into reality that's why the concept
of
remembering that we have certain things
that you're supposed to remember always
you're supposed to always remember them
what's the concept of
remembering that always it's bringing
that into present consciousness and the
ramban explains that we don't remember
harsinai
why because you're not supposed to ever
forget it
it's never supposed to be something that
you have to bring back into
consciousness it's supposed to always be
at the forefront of your consciousness
but that concept of
going back to root
which is
chauffeur
is that concept of zucchinis the concept
of memory that comes about going back
through and then bringing that root
into full expression and i'll share with
you an incredible idea an incredible
idea about the kosher doctrine because
the chauffeur it takes us back to
something unbelievable it takes us back
to a college broadcast back to the root
but there's a big question so gemara
actually asked it says how can we blow
show for why what's the problem blowing
so far it's a horn
and what does a horn do a horn it
represents an animal right it represents
the ego
because the ego is a calf with horns and
when we blow from a horn we are bringing
down that din
we are causing so hashem to remember or
the satan to remember it's like
categorizing anger problem where we're
basically like inciting the satan to say
like remember
remember the ego the worst sin of all
time maybe besides for
one of the most famous questions so
what's the answer so it's the mariah
says on the marriage saying it says it
doesn't apply in the kodachaka dosha
okay
so this problem of blowing a horn which
would theoretically
incite the satan or bring back bad
memories it doesn't apply in the
koshakodoshima
but what's what's the problem with that
what we're not in the kosha dosha we're
kind of like not in the color shock
objection because we're
not like you know that's a great
solution if the only time trophy was
ever blown was in the coaching document
that's not the case
so what's the answer the answer the
command is that chauffeur is like the ko
shakur shrimp since it does the chronos
okay
whoa like what in the world does that
mean
but i want you to think about it first
of all
what is the kosher kadasham koi second
notion is the point beyond space and
time we've talked about this many many
times but the world is great with
concentric circles so the rest of the
world has the regular laws of physics
once we get back to sorel kumar says
that no one ever
complained that they have a place um
sorry for registral it's it's it's um
the kumar says that airshow is compared
to
the skin of a deer
because this kind of video once it's
taken off the ear like had it ever fit
on the deer and the same thing for
registrar it's like how does claudius
feel fitness so it doesn't make any
sense but it's a miracle once you get to
shalom
all the regular all of class will come
to slime every single year for the
solstice gun for the three main
festivals
and the kumar says that no one ever
complained they'd have a place to stay
which doesn't make any sense because it
doesn't make any sense that
it could fit everyone right and then
when it comes to the azar i get close to
the base on english
get close to the close of the question
with the azara
the mishna says that when they would
stand up for the in the azar it would be
really crowded but when they bow down
then everyone have space so most
explanation is that when you you know
they get your ego
you become obviously a lot smaller
there's space for everyone the deeper
idea is that when you negate your ego
you become
so connected to that that that
spiritual stance of the azara that you
defy the laws of space and time and once
you get to
the henghal then you start to defy the
laws of time as well the
bread would stay fresh for seven days it
kind of defies the laws of physics laws
of time once you get the
kaloshokudoshima kumara says it doesn't
make any sense that the the our own
would have the same measurements as the
whole room
so the gemara answers that the arun has
no dimension no measurements because
first of all that doesn't make you know
first of all the our own has to have
measurements because the torah specifies
this measurements then the gemara says
it doesn't have measurements
what does that mean
and the answer is that what that in the
conscious document there are no rules of
time and space why
because under the culture of darshan is
the evan chasia that haven't you see it
is where as khazal explained the
physical world came into being the world
as it was expressed through the
eventually emanated from the evangelica
the rules of time and space came into
being from the evangelica the rules of
time space do not apply where they come
into being and therefore there are no
laws of physics in the kosher condition
which is why only the coin goes can go
in any kipper when on your keeper we are
all angels so to speak that's why we
don't eat we don't
drink we don't have attachments i mean
we don't have relations we don't engage
in physical things because we are
angelic beings that's why we say bro
out loud only malachim can say our lives
but we were all white because we are
angelicans the queen gathered represents
all of christ on that day and he is the
ultimate angelic being representing all
of christopher who are all angelic
beings and he goes into close secondary
because only angels only non-physical
beings the torah says that no man can go
into the koshakudoshima anyam kipper the
koen goddall is not a man
is the root of reality of this physical
world
the evan shasia
as well
why why
why is this important
because the chauffeur takes us back to
the root of reality
beyond the laws of time and space
and when we're in that dimension there's
no problem
of
mentioning
that
because we're no longer in this world we
have treats ourselves back to root and
i'll tell you something also
unbelievable
number two
in addition to that
which is the khronos zikran is a memory
the concept of because there's the
khronos right basically
it does the chronos
chauffeur is like kosher dashing why
because it takes us back to the ultimate
beyond time and space it's it does
chronos that kind of tracing back
play something also unbelievable
which i just thought of right now
it's literally tracing back chauffeur
like
kosha kudoshim it's all that same
concept of tracing ourselves back for
ultimate beyond time and space and what
is the ego the eagle is not tracing
ourselves back to the ultimate route the
eagle was either of the tsar mamash or
you know some form of of of a little
element of gaiva of trying to do it even
though we weren't commanded it's not
going to the ultimate rod zone it's not
going to the ultimate source we've given
sharon about batter hegel and what it
really was or wasn't uh famous mahlokas
between the richonam
but the ego was a problem not going back
to the ultimate route and the colossal
notion so far as the chorus is going
back to the ultimate route by going back
to the mirror we get over the problem of
the eagle wow like that is unbelievable
by going back to the source we have
overcome the problem
of diego
and these are really the rules of
chauffeur here we have this is granos
and really when we come to rosh hashanah
you can really apply all these to the
feel of rosh hashanah there's a harness
for the akita and sourcing back to the
roots of chauffeur which wake us up to
really coming back to commit ourselves
and connect back to hashem and
sourcing everything back to hashem
recognizing hashem is our ultimate root
and overcoming din by recognizing
koshbar who is the source of den
but now let's come back to our original
question
what's the uniqueness of hell and we can
speak about this for a long time we're
not going to we're going to wrap up soon
but once we understand that chauffeur is
about sourcing ourselves back to our
root we understand that
lol needs to somehow connect to this
l needs to somehow connect this in a
deep way so the question is why do we
blow chauffeur during elves so
you might not know this but they're
actually different
and
actually in barcelona there was this
minhag to blow chauffeur from the 25th
available
not from the restaurant shell from 25th
why
because that's when the world was
created right the first of tishrei is
when man was created but the 25th of
ello
is when the world was created now
obviously it's my whole guess whether
it's you know world's created in tishrei
or nissan which would mean 25th of l or
25th of other theoretically but without
getting into the complexities because we
you know we basically think like those
who says that
we'll make the decision to create the
world in alolan tishrei and actually
created it in nissan or other nissan
according to what i decided so
there is this idea that we blow
chauffeur which is going back to the
root going back to the russian of
creation from the 25th of l which is
when man which is when the world was
created so that's one idea but there's
another idea which we pass can like
that we start 40 days before him kipper
right so where's quarter shell why
so as far as like this we're trying to
combat it with azar because what
happened there were 40 days where moshe
went up on her sunday before he came
down with the second lucho's onion
kipper
and
when he came down even kipper hashem
forgave us for the ego that's why yom
kippur is the day of kabara which i
would say the opposite based on what i
mentioned earlier which is that no the
reason why i figured it was named
kippers because homekeeper is the day of
kapara
not that it became the day of kapara
that is the root concept of yum kippur
now what what what's what's up to the
chauffeur so the tour actually mentions
this that
the chauffeur was blown during those 40
days to ensure that clydesdale didn't
commit another heightened ego
what does that mean so based on what we
said it's obvious i mean what is this
what's going on
chauffeur connects us back to our route
connects us both back to our ultimate
source avatar is not going to the
ultimate source it is betraying
the the act of tracing ourselves back to
hakash baruch and going to the
intermediaries which we've explained
plenty of times
we're not going to go to a range right
now but the ultimate route of zara is
serving yourself which is not going back
the route but just going to the
intermediaries chauffeur is going back
to the roots so the reason why we blew
chauffeur during those days is to
basically ensure that clay shell goes
back to the ultimate and doesn't fall
back into another diego
but there is a third answer
which is that it's not because the world
was created on the 25th of the l sri
lanka was not because we blew it for 40
days
um to ensure that we didn't do it with
our back when moshe went up on his scene
again
but it's that we do have
l because
l itself requires the chauffeur
owl itself is as man is a month of
awakening of sourcing ourselves back to
kashbachu of connecting to our higher
selves our root selves is asman of
connecting to hashem as our makkah
of falling in love with hashem falling
in love with her falling in love with
myself falling in love with clients
we're following ourselves
connecting to our best selves becoming
the highest versions of ourselves it is
a man of appreciating the fact that we
are alive
appreciating the fact that we have so
much that we can do
so much that we can become it is
and listen like the aw of just being
alive the realness of being in this
world
is unbelievable
and that's what das is it's like the
heightened awareness of existing of
being of being alive of being
in touch with yourself with akash with
reality just heightening your awareness
and becoming more intelligent becoming
more aware becoming more
active in achieving your greatness
and that's what the chauffeur is about
to wake us up
back to just that simple idea of waking
us up
to who we truly are capable of becoming
to who we truly are at root
and to then come back down to this world
and to achieve that
to become that to earn it
and there are so many hints
of elo
that
ghazal that we've shown him pick up on
the most classic is annealed
that
you know i am to my beloved my beloved
is to me which is the idea of realizing
the closeness and connection love
relationship we have with hashem and
there are ambassadors that relations
between christians is a love
relationship it's a marriage
and just think about it the the way that
the
referred to the
we're in this world to fall in love with
the process and journey of connecting to
hashem of fulfilling our purpose
and it's a two-week relationship my nila
do diva dodi li it's
you know i move towards hashem and
hashtag move towards me hashem moves
towards me
and
one way of understanding is that once i
move towards hashem
hashem moves towards me like hashem is
my set my shadow right sail
there's a famous idea that shalham talks
about shannon's shadow he responds to us
media connected
but there's another idea as well which
is that
once i give myself to hashem
i realize
that he was giving himself to me the
whole time
it's not a response it's a realization
meaning that only once anila do the only
ones i commit myself to hashem do i
realize
hashem already i'm alive i'm here
everything in my
life is a bracha i have a custard toffee
i have a cursor toe for everything
because everything's a bracha it's like
once you stop thinking like what do i
deserve you start realizing what you
already have
start realizing your whole life is a
gift
it's like
it can be fluffy when all you hear is
people saying hashem loves you hashem
loves hashem loves you but he does
he does
and in the way
talks about the hashem's creating you
every instant and to create you he's
willing and thinking you into existence
which means that right now hashem is
thinking about you and willing you into
being into existence if you understand
what that means that is unbelievable
to understand who right now is willing
your your entire essence into being
it's like who are you thinking about
right now
how much do you think about other people
how much do you you know will goodness
into other people's lives gosh is doing
that for you every instant of your life
and that's not to give you muscle i mean
it is like we should obviously be trying
to improve and how we impact and care
about other people and give to other
people but just think about how much
that means
to you in your relationship with hashem
when you dive in like you're now just
connecting to that will that ruts on and
you're connecting to yourself it's like
i'll give you another example of an
allusion to owl
i don't want to get too sad we're going
to close up in a couple of minutes but i
want to know you know you kind of you
torah is infinite and to give a shear
really requires 25 hours at the least
for an hour an hour and a half you know
the more you go the the more breath the
more wisdom the more you see and
especially is recorded you can pause it
you can re-listen i don't want to lose
you but i just want you to see how
brilliant torah is how amazing it is and
how everything interconnects how it's
just the most ultimate wisdom and torah
torah is not a science it's more than a
science
it's a science in the sense that there's
a system it's mythological it's it's
brilliant it's it's systematic it's
organized but it's much more than a
science
it's so much more than a science
there's so much more than that can be
categorized and interconnected it's the
inner it's it's das it's the inner
awareness of the awesomeness of torah
and that leads us to our next
our next allusion to elul which is that
which is found by esther
and then it connects to the zera so the
first letter s
spells and this is referring to what
it's referring to the bris so frank to
the bridge to the college borough who
will ultimately circumcise our hearts
our hearts which are currently hearts of
stone they will become hearts of flesh
and we will be able to
deeply not only actively connect with
shame but experience it as in we are
think about how limited we are how much
how much realness how much beauty how
much wisdom how much love do you
experience in your life we have hearts
of stone we don't feel the love and
wisdom and we don't cherish the church
the opportunity of life
it's the heart of stone which will
ultimately become the heart of flesh
and that's what elo is about
it's about tapping into that higher
awareness the higher experience that's
tapping into that love with akash behold
it really is
that's l but the next word is what
zaracha
your children it's giving that over
to the next generation everything that
you've become everything you've created
and there's a beautiful one of those
asanas mentions
that ello spells two words elul spells
low and low spells low lamb
to him
he finds a beautiful allusion to this
telling which we actually say in israel
in chakras
so he created us below
it's like
that there are classic
nations in russia and torah thought that
basically said we create ourselves i'm
not going to go into all the details but
you know amalek is one of them paro says
like me hashem like who's hashem i
created myself
basically one approaches that probably
said
that so the nile was part of his god
either he said that now create him or
that he created the nile which really
means that he created himself because
the nile says god we're not going to get
all the details
but the idea is that who a son of lord
knew you couldn't interpret that to me
that curse
and we didn't create ourselves we
recognize hashem as our source but
another understanding is who asanu
he created us
and we are to him
our lives are devoted to him we want to
connect with him we want to love and
want to
devote everything that we are to the
rats
to fulfilling our purpose the connecting
to our source
what's the beauty is that they're
interconnected once you realize that you
didn't create yourself once you realize
that you are here for a reason someone
created you put you in this world that
you're not the source of your own
reality
you can
start to realize that
it's so beautiful
to connect and
not only connect passion but to commit
to hashem
and that's so much of what this is about
it's committing yourself
to a higher purpose to a higher reality
it's saying that
you know
as amazing as i am where did i come from
why am i here in this world
what's my purpose what can i do what can
i create
and that's really what chauffeur is
about chauffeur
is about going back to our route it's
about creating a oneness connection
creating a deeper connection intimate
connection with hashem
it's it's this man the whole month of el
isman of awakening it's not just the
preparation for shannon it's that too
but you have to identify l as a unique
zman of chauffeur a unique amount of
awakening a huge man of chuva of going
back to our root of going back to hashem
and there's so much more that we could
talk about we could talk more about how
hashem is our malcolm
and the connection between your mikhla
and el which we've mentioned in the past
maybe we'll give a share on that in the
future
and there's a lot more we can talk about
but the reason why there's 40 days from
lcm kipper
is this
the idea of we are forming ourselves
reforming ourselves recreating ourselves
tapping back to our ultimate root mesha
you know mesha are our fetal fluids are
our fetal selves our ultimate root and
we're coming out of that mikvah reborn
you know you'll kipper we we experience
our angelic selves the result of these
40 days
40 days of formation
and my brother to all of us is that we
should take full advantage of this all
and we should
create a concrete empowering vision for
ourselves
think about the ultimate year you can
have i would say start with think about
the ultimate life you could have and
think about what this year the ultimate
version of this year that would head you
towards that ultimate life of what you
can accomplish dream big
and believe in yourself believe that you
can do it so much of teshuva
about creating amazing goals for
yourselves about creating the ultimate
version of yourselves is believing you
can achieve the extraordinary that you
may not have been able to do until now
but that doesn't mean that you can't
change and remember it's not about
changing it's not about growing it's
about becoming you
you're not changing you're actually just
becoming more in tune with who you
really are
and when you realize that shiva is about
self-discovery it's not it's not
self-criticism it shouldn't be a
negative experience it should be the
most inspiring experience there is a
level of awe there's a level of
seriousness but when you're inspired by
that when you're inspired by growth when
you fall in love with learning when you
fall in love with growing and teshuva
becomes a life's journey
and it is and it becomes the most
enjoyable life's journey it's my brother
is that we should use this elo to turn
our entire life
into
a continuous journey of growth and
self-development of awe-inspiring
awareness of our college
of traced ourselves back to a root and
we should
listen to the chauffeur and be inspired
to truly awaken not only to awaken
practically so like you know oh my gosh
like ello's coming rosh hashanah is
coming home kipper's coming but to be
woken up deep in our root in our
internal selves and to be inspired to
take the ultimate journey back to our
ultimate self or ultimate root akaresh
