so he said that non-holy dirt is to think you're nothing which to jewish people is like spitting in god's face because he's who made you amazing how you're so amazing is from god [Music] six months earlier i was in spot and i was listening to a great kabbalist of rev loser kennig zatzo was giving a class and third meal which is fun and it was about two types of dirt the dirt of the land of israel and the dirt of outside the land of israel and he was talking about humility because because when we pray we say may my may may i be like the the dust of the earth before all others yeah i should be people should see me as the dust of the earth meaning no ego but the rabbi was teaching this teaching which i didn't understand at the time and he was teaching this teaching that that the dust of the outside of israel is impure dust whereas the dust in the land of him mean the earth the land of israel is holy dust it's the holy dirt and what does it mean what's the difference in humility so he said that non-holy dirt is to think you're nothing which to jewish people is like spitting in god's face because he's who made you amazing how you're so amazing is from god and for you to see yourself as nothing is spitting in god's face and that's the impure dirt of of outside of israel that's the false humility that the gentiles believe in and whereas the jewish is the holy dirt of israel the holy soil of our country and and that is that is that you're awesome and god's god is why you're awesome and god is why you're awesome and you have to live that way and then you get the miracles like the miracles of god only hit the person who realized they're awesome you know why because see once you realize you're awesome like let's take this guy in the back what's your name david let's say david finally it gets into his bones and his thick head and his stone heart that he's that he's i don't know if he's got a thick head but let's just say david it finally penetrates david how awesome you are well then what's going to happen you're stuck now because now you got to go do awesome things but the problem is the world's not set up for the awesome david that who's going to do all the things that an awesome person does well but what are you going to do so you're not going to do the awesome things because the world's not set up for that the answer is no you're going to go do those awesome things and you're going to watch what's called lsd which stands for large siata deshmaia you're going to get you're going to get divine providence come in your way in a big way large helpings of divine providence and and then you'll be living in in a relationship with god which is called the world of wonder wonder world which is called olomapele but all of us people who don't realize how awesome we are and therefore we live in another world called ulamatev the world of nature but god expects all of us to live in the world of wonder in the wonder world he expects it from us that's why whenever you say modima lock and you mention the wonders that have become ace air volcano doesn't that means all day all night in the evening like it's 24 7 wonders well the only way you experience 24 7 wonders is if you're always pushing the envelope with how awesome you are if you keep pushing the envelope by doing the things that awesome people do well god has to pull out the wonders and that's why we say every single day we give thanks for the wonders but you know what it's a bit of a that prayer is in vain you're using that prayer in vain if you're not getting those wonders because you're just not pushing you're not pushing through things with your how awesome you are anyway so that was the rabbi's class was the two types of dirt the dirt of outside of israel which is the false humility of being nothing which again is spitting in god's face and then the the dirt of the holy and our by the way our dirt is so holy so holy you know after i mountain bike and i'm covered in dirt i'm always reluctant to wash my clothes because of that dirt i remember once this rabbit was t was rabbi uh moshe weinberger the ash kodish from uh the five towns from woodmere new york he was visiting here and i walked into his third meal i walked like a half hour to where he's doing a third meal and he shares this amazing terra that from the words of yehuda speaking to joseph he says to him how can i go up to my father meaning jacob when the child isn't with me because because joseph who was the prince of egypt they didn't recognize him he had incarcerated the youngest boy ben yemen and yehuda took responsibility to return benjamin back to jacob and his final plea with joseph was how can i go up to my father make a chair please for this lady how can i go up to my father when the child isn't with me and what did rabbi weinberger say he says how can i go up to my father that's god and who's the child that's your beautiful child the awesome you that amazing two-year-old it's that toddler full of power and energy and courage and and self-expression and love and you know and and health and all the greatness that you are was embodied by you when you were two years old and so he's he was bringing he was bringing out this lesson that we all have to retrieve that child inside of us but there was no dry eye in the room it was in the dark it was like dimly lit and i was just crying over my child that i had left behind and everyone in the room was basically crying while he shared his terrorists when he finished sharing this tara i saw there was a little kid laying on his chair but he was laying on his father's lap but with his feet on the chair it was winter and there was mud on his shoes and i was looking at the mud on his shoes and it made me cry even more how holy the mud is that's that's the mud of israel that's a kid playing on the land of israel on the soil that's now caught between the the crannies of us of his soul of his shoe and that that land is so holy it's so special like i wanted i want to like scrape a little off and like put it in a put it in a a little uh you know empty out a vitamin capsule and take it every morning
