MUST WATCH: Corona Virus and PURIM (Jewish Festival)

[Music] some welcome to practical spirituality here in Asia tour in the old city of jerusalem overlooking the western wall they the drug of choice of the Jewish people is wine wine is the drug of choice and it's it's you know it's the fruit of the vine and and so we should look into this this drug of choice called wine a little bit wines wine it's covenant 'el first of all it's it's you know it's something that you connect to people with people generally don't drink wine and punch each other's lights out something you cannot say about Jack Daniels there's when you see a fight at the ballgame you know like good fist fight which I used to love to watch cuz I only really went to ball games to watch people and and obviously my interest was people not getting along for the most part because I've made it my life's work to help people get along and and I think I've gotten very far with that but but watching people go all out you know in a stadium fistfight is you know like that's it's just as a kid that was too good to be true and I used to bring my binoculars just to really get a good vantage point to watch that now I didn't want anyone knocking their lights not each other lights out but my study was people not getting along which meant like watching fathers and sons not connect or husbands and wives were distracting themselves at the sporting event rather than connecting to one another and I would watch this even as a little kid I used to watch watching much all I did was watch adults and see how they got along or didn't get along and and so fight was off the ultimate for my little laboratory health 50,000 and the so I promise you those people were not drinking wine hey that wasn't wine they were drinking and and in Judaism you actually see that there's a period of time where we're actually forbidden warming and the time were forbidden when did I make a broth homeless yeah yeah thank you nice guy around with me so there's there's a time where forbidden wine and that's during the nine days leading up to the destruction of the temple and those nine days you know I love wine but you are allowed Jack Daniels and your love beer and you're allowed to Keela and you're allowed vodka and any other alcoholic beverage is fine just not wine you know which is pretty interesting they are not allowed wine what's the big deal and the answer is is that wine is coven ental it connects people wine connects people and since God's connection to earth and the physical realm at least meaning that the the portal between the infinite and the finite is through the Temple Mount and specifically the Holy of Holies where where the ark stood and where the high priest would do his you know service there the incense various other actions he would do there the that's me because that's missing so we're not allowed to drink wine which brings hearts together except for obviously Shabbos if there's a Shabbos during that time we are allowed to drink wine on the showers so so that's the idea of some wine is a connector and it's also we at a wedding the the thing starts with wine that's the very first thing before the contract is bar a Priya guffin and and the and then the bride and the groom have to drink from this wine it's preferable by the way to use white wine at the foot but because of the wedding dress of the bride case there is an accident you know she's gonna be dancing in that all right it's better to use white wine at a clip uh now anyway but that's another example of the Covenant of wine and wine is used at circumcision someone is used at Pitt Univ N and the redemption of a firstborn and wine is used to signify distinction in time we always use wine to define time I have that wine involved so so for example if you're going from this if you're distinguishing the six days of doing into Shabbat of being you have to do that online now if you're an alcoholic and your wines forbidden juice so you can drink grape juice obviously observant Jews you know are less addictive personalities to begin with so so if you get yourself clear of any addictions you know it's possible to to drink grape juice instead of wine at the Shabbos table and but for the rest of us you should nuthin grape juice is not with that and sages had a month they had wine in mind not grape juice so if your host hands you a little thimble full of grape juice Shabbos night just hand it back hey tell me oh I'd like a stiff glass of wine please you know and if he hands you a thimble of wine also our sages didn't have in mind a wine shot yeah you're actually supposed to get the alcohol of the wine into your bloodstream and how much let's call the review sore you know a nice it'd be like a whole cheek full of wine at minimum but you know but really ideally it should be if one has a regular skittish cup it should be good you know 150 centimeters because you know like 3/4 of a cup of wine glass just enough to give you a buzz that's also for the guests as well so so the answer is yes because your guests are just as obligated in Jewish laws the host and the host is supposed to be having a cup of wine now are they obligated is a logic the hose can do grape juice you know the pure holic level the host can do grape juice but but it's probably not in the spirit of law for the host to be drinking grape juice Shabbos night and it's not and it's not exactly the spirit of law to have the adults around the table also getting grape juice now how much wine should someone drink that amount you know you can have another glass during the meal but never to get buzzed you know there's no reason to get buzzed and if you do need to get buzzed to the Shabbos table so you probably got to work on something better work something out you know and then certain people like they're used to getting buzzed like there's a culture of getting buzzed you know people like people like getting buff you know they're there's certain people were raised getting bugs I was raised getting but I remember I remember I remember going to Shabbos table so I'd always bring a bottle of wine in case the host was a needy and you know which happens sometimes and and I I was in I remember I was in spot at a the Resnick's house and if the Resnick's are watching this blessings and lots of love time anyway so there they're the only lit Foxen spot okay I don't know if you know what lit Fox are but you can look it up in a in a encyclopedia or something I know where you'd find it but it means from Lithuania spots known for being acidic except you have this one lit bus couple we're just the sweetest couple in the world they're like from the 17th century and there's a sweet little couple there and with these beautiful kids each one of them looks like each one of them literally looks like an angel from heaven they're just so pure and so sweet and so special he's just you couldn't not go there meaning no one goes to spot to sit at a lint Fisher table but you couldn't resist going through the rest things because they were they were just so pure and anyway I am by the way today directs his whole life through his eyes on a computer screen yes ALS and apparently watches my classes so it's really incredible I'm mentioning him and I guess I should send him a message that I mentioned him in class today and of course shabbos he's off because it's Shabbos can't use the computer so he's not he's not able to mean you can just go there and sing Shabbos songs and it's at element of our tour and it's great Mitzvah but he cannot respond in any way because it can't use the computer anyway but they mrs. Resnick Adel Resnick was they was never shy to let you know you did something off rich people in spot generally like just kind of let it slide if you did something stupid not mrs. Resnick Remington Resnick she let you know so I actually did more than one stupid thing in their house I'll tell you both of them one of them was I brought my bottle wine thinking that maybe these lit fights we're gonna have great news for kiddush and long before there was great food previews for kids I opened my wine offered to everybody know don't want any wine in that house and I psyche went on to drink the entire boat so she pulled me over Saturday night and said can I speak to him and I'm like I'm gonna probably a lot of problem what problem do you think I might have that she went on to tell the story of how I managed to polish off an entire bottle one by myself at her Shabbos date I was so embarrassed like I don't think I had more than one glass of wine at a Shabbos Oh for like ten years I was so badly busted you know but again I might hold up ring it was like Shabbos night you get buzzed you know and and not only that but there was a cocktail party at my house every Shabbos night before kids it was because we didn't what do we know from Halawa so so you can't everyone gathered my father had a meal that like you had to be at even his kids for you not allowed to get up you know if you had to get up you better explain where you're going and like it was strict you sat at that Chavez meal and I'm kind of thankful for that and I and I look I'd love to be able to implement that today but kids today are coming out of the system they're just like let me sit on the couch and read for a little while just like what are you gonna say they've been getting pushed around in the battered by their you know the Orthodox education system you know it's like they finally got home and I are gonna make them sit at the table you know I'm a little lenient with them I did just learn though in machetes breakfast which pleased God that everyone's invited to my see em Saturday night just kidding life would kill me but we did learn that you can call out the blessing after the meal to people at a distance so I was making my boys get off the couch to come from the blessing after the meal but you actually can save robber side and where they are they can answer from that distance I imagine they'd have to scream too did you know that hello even it I didn't so it was on the loss of can you leave if you started eating with a group of men can you leave can you take off and so so the answer was you can answer from your distance what if you can answer on the phone probably know where we at oh she pulled me over for that one and no alcohol it's not exactly my drug of choice and so no issue there but she the other thing you want to be something else she pulled me over fine I played a concert and sponsor a beautiful concert Saturday night and it was like a dreamy experience have you been it's fine yeah yeah what's your name Riley Riley you've been a spot yeah actually be there after ish nice sorry I'm from Australia when I say the word nice so that sounds really nice so you'll be there okay great so you'll be meeting all my friends are you telling me you studied with rabbit Yom Tov in Jerusalem anyway so I played a beautiful concert I I say it's beautiful just because if you ever go to a Saturday night acoustic guitar concert in spot it's just everything comes together it's just amazing and boy did it come together Sunday morning I'm running at Anil Reznick again I get pulled over like you know CHP California Highway Patrol which pulls me over and she's like adjunctive I'm like yeah she said she said you know you played a lot of your brother songs at the Saturday night concert and I'm like yeah and she says about three different times throughout the two-hour concert you mentioned him being a great musician in but you mentioned in such a way that who are you to even play compared to your brother and she said that that is just not program it is not appropriate to be putting yourself down like that you know people came out to your concert and you you're like unconsciously crushing yourself while being the person that's playing the concert and once again she got me from then on I never ever defaced myself when discussing my brother who is a virtuoso but hey you know you write some I play him you know emplacement two but here that's what I said ever since then I scan he writes me anyway so back to wine wine is covenant Allah so let's talk about the wine of when you switch times so especially going into Shabbat and the holidays so the things like this every time it has a spectrum of influence that's happening in the zodiac like literally in the zone and we actually break up time into Sun from sunrise to sunset we actually break it up into twelve parts in other words an hour's not an hour in Judaism like leave it to the Jews to have an hour not be sixty minutes it's not sixty minutes like for example right now it's almost spring so it's gonna be close to the 60 minutes but the summer solstice it's gonna be something like 68 minutes and the winter solstice can be something like 52 minutes and you understand because because the winter the days are shorter so we break up the hours from dawn to dark minutes are gonna be shorter it's gonna be like you know a 52 minute minute because it's a shorter time now you might be saying who cares like why you making yourselves crazy and the answer is one sec that the names of God good and Hayne above and hey is a combination of for now that combination of four has has it has different combinations it's usually do you in the hand above minute but what happens the first three the first three are all you're good you're good but the hay and the and the youth sorry - hey the two A's and above mess around a bit the second group of three has the starts with the second hand the name of God and then the urine in the bump and the hey play around in different combinations by the way we know this because of the months so for example right now what what's going on we've just finished the first week of Adar Aadhaar is this month it's pisces and olive dar tha that means the oneness dwells Aadhaar is the oneness Doyles and the oneness is welling this month in a very special and hidden way this month all about the hiddenness and fish the Pisces the fish can't see them you can have a hundred thousand fish right next to you on the short you won't see even one fish yet they're all right under the surface all the fish are there and the the hiddenness of God is always going on and notice the fish are set up in a yin-yang situation where the eye of this fish is the idea that it's a yin-yang it's perfect balance which in Judaism the yin-yang is not the yang it's rather the olive the olive has the Yoruba and the utili with the with the above connecting heaven and earth and it's the the the olive is the yin-yang and the Pisces is really just a nama it's just the olive because it's there I'll lift the oneness of God that dwells olive dar Adal is this month and the DAR is the olive that dwells and where is it 1212 covered up by physicality it's the hidden oneness I mean think about it makes all the sense in the world so like for example let's say I played an a chord on a guitar boom which the root of the chord is in a string in a stream Riley how much I sub have much does an a string on a guitar oscillate every second 440 it's called a 440 so 440 oscillations per second crossed the room now that sounds complicated because it's 440 oscillations moving across the room except what 440 is 440 right it's a like what I'm speaking right now is obviously massive amounts of mathematics coming out of my mouth that's all hitting your eardrum going to your cerebral cortex your cerebral cortex is made of neurons neurons fire don't fire fire don't fire it's binary so you have this binary reception receiver of digital code which crosses the room when I speak which is all vibrational which is all just crests and troughs presses drops frequency and and those frequencies are basically digital because they're you know it's frequency and it's being deciphered by your your binary cerebral cortex which is the neurons inside there are deciphering what I'm saying but it's obviously incredibly complex mathematics so but even if you have a number 600 million it's 600 million ones in the olive the one I love is the letter one Aleph is what dwell is within all of it and that's the Olive dollar a dollar that's this month it's the dwelling of God's oneness inside of all things that's the great secret the great secret is that oneness is what's always going on and that's why you'll notice that all seven billion people on earth we're all going through something just like I'll tell you you ask you guys ever raise your hand if you're going through something I don't care how little how big but you go through something you wouldn't mind being on the other side of it come on raise haneda who's who's going there's something that you wouldn't mind being on the other side it might be you're going through single wouldn't you'd wouldn't mind being married it could be going through married you wouldn't mind being single so okay so the answer is everyone with the exception one person this room but I'm sure we could figure out why you know he now he's raising his hand so everybody's going through something and here we got this planet I bet you're all set if all of you can it raise your hand I pick up all seven billion crazy yeah all seven billion if you ask them 10 years or later which is okay that's giving time to extremely slow spiritual people I mean a fast spiritual person gets why they're going through it quickly in the sin of yours if you have a heist spiritual like you you figured out pretty quickly what you're going to wear is somewhat of low spiritual IQ kinda has to see how it how they had their like adjust and build themselves up to get over it and then like ten years later they realize oh my gosh not yet why that happened now I see where it how it built me in the way it did but here's the thing is that you know you get of the 7 billion people you got quite quite a few that doubt God's existence yet Alton all seven billion ten years later will tell you not only why it happened to him whatever they were going through today in 2020 not only tell you why it happened to him but they'll tell you they wouldn't even trade it if they had to trade what they got at it you understand not only would they know what it was they wouldn't even trade it they'd be like yeah it was ill and you know I it's over now and what I got I got and it's good tools for me in and I'm better for it as a result good luck pulling that off you know good luck with that Darwin you're nuts like that's just nothing that shouldn't work you know that just shouldn't work you know random mutation you know survival of fittest doesn't doesn't allow for for everyone to come full circle with their suffering this is one of the great proof yeah and he's the Allah he's the one that dwells on the many he's the one that dwells is the Olive Garden so this month has combinations of letters and the letter hey is the first week because we're in the we're in the last month this is the twelfth month of the year and I know that sounds confusing Riley because Rosh Hashanah is supposed to be the first it's not it's the seventh month leave it to the Jews to have minutes that are in a minute long and to have years that start now because Russian is the seventh month of the year don't ask I mean it's just like we can't complicate things enough now now the but that makes this the twelfth month which obvious is going to start with a hey because the first three months started with you second three months started with a hey 33 months starts with a hey started with above and the last three months is gonna start with a hey and not only does it start with the last hey but this week now because we just started the second week of Adar is now the second hey so it's two pays and then poor night full moon night form night everything's full moons now to trot former porn month later former pesach full moon is so we now hit on that night the poram which is the revelation of me where meaning you go into a dark ad are you going to the month of Adar everything's hidden and very interesting how the whole world's now going through this virus scare words all unknowns well that's exactly was going on in Shushan Kabira in the the capital of babylon of persia with Shushan was there was a genocide and no one knew what was gonna happen what are you supposed to do about a genocide you know like what do you do when you're not committed and there's gonna be a genocide thing everyone was freaking out just like today everyone's freaking out they don't know what's gonna be and so and so the first two weeks are hey hey but comes full moon next next week which will be Tuesday and I it's full moon guess what letter it is it's the you would this month the combinations gonna hit the do it what's the hood clarity revelation what's it good you'd get his thoughts think about the letter U and it just floats up there doesn't even touch the earth doesn't even hit the baseline use purely spirit by Nature it's just like again it you know it's its wisdom it's it's you know it's it's just clarity and so we're gonna move into this full-on clarity what's the clarity and how do we celebrate the clarity and the answer is by drinking a truckload of wine not this week not this that was only the first that's gonna be Nissan that's gonna be starting the next new moon will be vo in the hand of over there and then it's gonna be bigger than the mist and the man that these they're top they are into calculating now oh by the way back to the minutes is why are we so concerned about minutes the answer is is because every hour that same shift of the letters of God's name of the months think about twelve months twelve hours of the day is shifting and if you're like super cabbalistic expanded doshas UK you care you care about the shift of the other one because the hours spell out different stuff you understand every hour it's got its image and Kabbalists actually pause in the hour adjust and get back into the flow of things for the new hour and and things are flowing that way and cuz it's all about this big flow and right now we're in the last month of the year which has some special flow which is the hiddenness this flows hidden and then it flows revealed and what gets revealed well very interestingly you have to drink everyone has to drink a bunch of wine okay and that's not optional unless of course you spoke to your rabbi and explained your addiction to alcohol and it's just not gonna be good for you to be drinking alcohol on pork but if you have no addictions like that and you are so then you're supposed to drink a whole bunch of it and when I say a whole bunch our rabbis teach us that you have to drink so much wine that you can't even distinguish you can't even distinguish you can't even distinguish the the name in Hebrew of cursive the villain whose name is himand curse it is come on which we brought calling him Haman you know as you can like you know when a friend use is asking you if you want to go get high usually says hey many high and then you're supposed to say no no I'll actually just stay right in reality the way God makes it right now not saying they're in a place of getting high there's as a consultant says there's a time for everything as Genesis says that God gave us each of the vegetations for our use and so there's a time and a place for everything but not with hey man you know because that Haman guy shows up dating sometimes you are your own even and by the way you want to know just to mention why people smoke cannabis so regularly but no why because if you when you're on cannabis the whole world it's perfect everything's great it's like everything's great everything's more meaningful everything's enhance it's really wonderful except for tomorrow tomorrow you have what's called post partum depression because everything's not that way unless of course you have your life so put together but anyone here want to raise their hand on being that person you know our lives aren't that put together and so all of a sudden what was perfect it's not perfect and the differential between perfect and not perfect when someone was using cannabis the day before is much bigger differential than the regular life where it's not perfect that I'm working on and I'm doing my best to get my life in order and today maybe some more in order or maybe today's a little more chaotic and you know I'm breathing breathing through it doing my best not to have anxiety and then then in the end though what fires [Applause] focuses porn even closed door so there's no classes next week this is turning into my form class oh my god so by the way them free Yiddish speakers the word virus-like is the word in C we say the sinning in Hebrew means is a virus of Abra's but if you're Hasidic it's a virus the virus literally okay listen up there's nothing I can't lose my couple back there you guys you're my most important students right now everyone's very important but but some of you are extra animated and I've been watching the two of you have fun so so you're like keeping me going but Yugi need to handle something with just a click you're good okay it's really all right you can't risk this movie recording has been stopped automatically my recording stopped it was just that's it just there this one yeah oh yeah that's our live feed which we is a backup okay thank you that's important to know that yeah so Kirsten is humming yeah oh so what I was gonna say is Oh why do people smoke cannabis every day whether they smoke every day tomorrow never comes yeah tomorrow never hits tomorrow never hits and so either two things one of two things happens either your life just unravels because if you're always pretending if you refuse to look where things are not right you know where things are not right tends to hemorrhage you know like like when you want it when you want to ignore things that's generally where things go wrong and that's one and two is some of those guys let's simplify their lives such that they never and like it can't hemorrhage too bad like for example playing some weird violent video game 35 hours a day yeah yes it's very interesting they're the studying tour every day is a good way to like ignore your responsibilities and but here's a weird thing when here's something really strange our rabbis tell us a total contradiction I'm not gonna deal with this right now but one that says any work sorry any Torah study that didn't come with also working for a living will lead to sit it has another saying in the same exact book it's pure chaos that says the ethics of our fathers where it says anyone who throws off the yoke of Torah the yoke of their livelihood will land on them like but with a bit like an anvil well anyone who takes on the yoke of Torah study like they take on the yoke of learning Torah the yoke of one's livelihood all the detailed stuff that tends to unravel quickly will actually go away from them and I've watched it happen I saw a guy study here for ten years straight ten years straight full time snake and and then he once he came up to me at some point and said to me I saw he said he said you know what I just wanted to say goodbye because I'm not gonna be learning here every day is that okay what are you doing he says it's time to work time to go out for work so he goes out to work Brandon it was six months later looking sad is it you alright what's matter he says we can't afford to be in Israel anymore and I was like what hey you just studied full-time for 10 years straight you were making nothing living purely off LSD you know which stands for large C octave douche Maya which means meaning you've been living off pure divine assistance because the yoke of this world was off of you while you study you'd go out cuz you decided you know it's time to go work you go work and something you can't afford to be here like you're supposed to have made more money you should be easier to be here you understand how weird that is but I've noticed it also my own life there were some my own life notice in many people's lives that someone who really takes on the yoke of turn and decides to really harness his mind and heart and body to the study of it the world kind of leaves him alone and things don't have raffles so much whereas when someone throws it off the being responsible ultimately and they're only trying to be responsible but boy does thing does the material world come at you with a vengeance they can find themselves quickly in trouble so it's an interesting thing I know your solutions probably just don't get involved with it in the first place but because if you didn't put it on you never threw it out but on the other hand we're all obligated to study Turk you know if you got free time you should be studying it's not free times never free free time means time to to increase in tourist oh okay back to us so if you look at their words kirsten hummin plummet is the you know he's the arch evil enemies he's Hitler basically and if you do the math our sages say that you're supposed to be so drunk that you can't tell the difference between curse at his homeland and lesson which is Hebrew bar rule which means the lesson is mortified okay Kirsten is Hamid bless it is more to fight got that this is more tonight so how much wine do we drink on the revelation of the hidden by the way what book do we read on that day what's the book we read the scroll of Esther Hattie said in Hebrew we cannot test the revelation Magilla he's the louisvil going to reveal what's Esther me hidden revelation they hid what book do we read the room isn't it what's hidden the name of God it's the only book that doesn't have God's name it so you're it's on the unit of the month of this covered up month with a fish where it's all one we're under the sea you can't even see them everything's one but things can get dark because we're dealing with the last day of God's neighbors don't get such clarity and the second day I've got the first day of God's name which is also if you know anything about that one it's not so simple either this you would and then the hey that that first hey not exactly the the easiest vendor of God's name but then you hit that full moon it's the urine and it's the revelation and we're told that we have to drink at the festive meal in the daytime not at night although Jerusalem will have the biggest party I mean we're talking hundreds of thousands Mila and when I was gonna be with the virus and the sorry / and this is hundreds of thousands of people so they're not gonna allow them out there what horses if you have the tires how would someone know nobody even discusses the fact that no one knows how you know if you have it you know they say like it takes two weeks to figure it out oh yeah well okay two weeks is up what do I do breathe onto my phone on an app you know what I'm saying like no one's talked about how you actually test for it I mean has anyone heard of a testing center yeah for it I mean I spoke to one dog he says we don't have any tests you know there is a testing center I'm gonna go to the airport Airport to test with all the people the hospitals are checking for it okay here we go so you have to drink so much wine say our sages that you cannot tell the difference between blessed it is mortify and curse at his home now to not know they didn't seem to hear in the filling is really drink yours then that's like not knowing them speeding like it turning the light off in the room and turning it back on and like people are like I didn't notice much it's like it's like they here on the villain that's a lot of wine that's a lot of wine to not know the difference between the here on the villain that's that means you are special meant yeah you're beyond smashed yeah it's not how you have the consciousness to know that you don't know the difference that's a great question that's a great question no been a prison and by the way you can't be unconscious I mean you can't be a magical but but you mean if you get so smashed that you throw up and pass out which happens to it all a lot of people because you know everyone's trying to hit their yeah and it's easy to miss under the influence right you know I just eat sweet spots it's pretty slippery and anyway but but once you're passed out drunk I mean you also fulfill it but you're not really there to be asking whether you know the difference between I'm gonna mortified so it it's a whole questionable thing but I guess you have to have someone a designator a designated tester who walks around testing people about the two in a story it's very cool in the story by the way because you see that mortify who's a ridiculously bad diplomat I mean he's just the worst if not ever yeah it'd be like if you're like if you're like uh I don't even know how to say this nicely it'd be like Netanyahu you know Shh be like knitting yo like basically burning the American flag or something you know it's like you understand like burning the British he takes every allied country that's connected to us and just burns all their flags and the whole world's like looking at him incredulously when he says to them listen were from the tribe of Jacob you're from the tribe of ASA we don't get along it's over yeah that's mortified in Shushan tobira why because Hitler's risen to power and all he's asking it's just how much about if I'm working by they should bow down if they're walking by thanks about it just go like this you know girls give a curtsy you know like just recognize me amor de thighs just like he couldn't if like he normally stood I thinking about like six foot two I think he grew an inch you know he's just like it's like little kids trying to be tall enough for the ride you know at Magic Mountain he's like he's not gonna you know if his shoelace untied he's not tying it now you know he's gonna stay with his shoes untied just to make sure that humming knows that he's not getting respectable who was mortified what has the chief rabbi now imagine being humming humming who's you know total raving lunatic megalomaniac who's like at any moment could do anything against the Jews he's waitin signet-ring of the King Kings an idiot so he's basically given over all the power to this guy the guy's directly from the seat of on the lake who always rises up to destroy us when the time of redemption is imminent well it's the time of redemption to the 70th year on a 70 year exile which means someone like this should have been predictably showing up and he did show up and all you have to do is go like this man like yo you know we'll celebrate the 4th of July here in Israel you know do some fireworks of Tel Aviv and you know what we'll we'll run the the was that music thing that was that music thing that that girl won because she did a me to song last year your of it it will host your vision here and and we're we're your best friends you know we Israel loves the Allied nations you know we're quick we're happy to drink your hair heroin drink your we're happy to drink your your oil all day you know and and take our little gifts I said heroin cuz I called I called those Western nations I call them the Israel's drug dealer when it comes to money yeah so you're supposed to bend over if you're the leader of the Jews mortifies like worth has not played any games with these people and what happens come on doesn't get bowed down to and he just like immediately you know decrease it genocide and your revocable one because he stamps it with the signet ring King ring and it's irrevocable once the cygnets in the in the stamp meaning in the wax and it says that every Jew is you know sentenced to death every man woman and child you can't revoke that kind of thing even in the end when the whole life thing worked out well for us it was only that the Jews could defend themselves it didn't say that the genocide was over no the genocide was on it's just that the Jews now had a new thing that Mordecai now wearing the ring cuz humming got hung and now mortifies wearing the ring Esther's the Queen and she's you know that the Jews are allowed to defend themselves against this meaning they could take up arms and and prevent the slaughter and so all of this who caused the problem Mordecai so he makes the problem then there's a genocide and what happens because of the genocide the total detour tells us earlier on that the Jews were very disaffected and don't forget we just had the destruction of the first temple Jews were not getting along so well there's a lot of disunity now when there's disunity we even have one of what our prophet says at one point that I'd rather not have the Jews offerings I mean I'd rather the Jews get along than have the offerings because the offerings without the Jews getting along mean nothing tonight imagine like Jewish Jerusalem's running you know the temple the Ark you know the sacrifices like everything's running well except the Jews aren't getting along god I'd rather not have that service and just see my children get along with each other so that the the Megillah makes it real clear of the Jews were not getting along they are dis unified so what m's he makes his decree and what are the Jews do answer too late that was a real short time period that you got to answer that one so the answer is they unified all three day fast they did it in prayer they did this fall unity they didn't eat months of that year was Passover they skipped the matzah they skipped the Seder and they fasted for three days straight in total unity in prayer which is like who's the villain this guy's the worst diplomat ever we get a genocide out of him this guy's got everyone see you not me Cyril hi so you understand so it's not so clear anyway but that's how much you got a drink and here's the cool thing check this out look at the difference in the letters very different letters but rule is two plus two hundred plus six plus 200 plus 40 plus 200 it's big numbers plus four plus 20 plus 10 okay what does that equal yeah I put 20 oh my gosh I cut off the bow did you see me do it I just can't because it was going all the way down your hair so he like went like that but I went too low okay and then and then we got the word roar yeah so olive is one Oh what is that equal by the way excellent one plus two hundred plus six plus two hundred plus five plus 40 plus 50 equals 502 so in other words our sages are telling us that you got to drink so much that they've equaled out you can't even tell the difference between them because there is no difference somehow on some cuz again I loved our means the hidden oneness so even though you rather have things you know fixed already all of us who raised our hand that we'd rather be on the other side of some of the issues we're dealing with there it's all equal in the end it's all equal and that's one of the meditations one of the biggest meditations and Judaism it's a mantra is we say should be sheet should be C and a shim that negative swimming should be C you know the word Shaba means equal the equals line chivvy C means right it's the equal sign should be Seon shim she BC is God equal to me is God like neck D across from me to meet at all times and what's that supposed to mean the answer is whatever you're going through it's all equal it all like the year your life zeros out like a good accountant a good accountant dealing with the numbers of a big business where it's very complicated and lots of Ledger's and numbers mathematics but it all zeros out at the end of the year because you gotta 0 things out and then explain to the government and taxes and everything and it all zeros out so she VCS feminine igby something means that it's all equal to out and the spiritual person gets it quickly he equals it out in real time now if you imagine can you know everyone in this room can you imagine being able to get to the moment where in real time you're able to equal it all out while you're going through while you're going through you know I poked myself with a sharp knife in Chaves two weeks ago in Williamsburg didn't really want anyone to notice it's custom in Hasidic homes to give the guest his own two follows and cutting board and give this crazy sharp knife and with a super pointed tip and it's just perfectly poked I can still see the whole word now I'm like bleeding to death that they're Shabbos day long you know it was just a little poke but it went deep and and I wrapped my finger and finished cutting my college try not to get any blood on the follicles now that blood our own blood you're allowed but not once it leaves your mouth meaning if you if you not look like suck on a cutter for a few but if your gums are bleeding your that's not forbidden just if it relieves them it's all a prohibition of eating blood but there's a rabbinic prohibition of eating human blood just because it looks like you're eating blood animals and chickens now we're gonna finish with this okay we're basically done but we got one last thing and then is that what the hell what like why what's why do we have to drink so much why it's not for this that's for sure this is just the breathalyzer this just let you know how much it's only talking about amounts here it's it's hinting at something yeah do you really suppose that wine because wine we have a sip famous saying in Hebrew that that when the wine goes in when the wine goes in the secrets come out that's a famous saying when the wine goes in the secrets come out what's the wine the wine is made of two goods which is the first letter of God's name and the way you pronounce it is although and then knowing which ends with the earth and then no one represents the fifty gates of of perception by the way you know what the fiftieth gate is it's the first of the next I'm not kidding there's 50 gates of perception and the 50th gate is the first gate of the next it just keeps going it's infinite it never stopped so so dead so the first letter of God in the last one God's name with 50 gates of perception and then in the word so this is wine which is 10 plus 10 plus 15 is ok which is also related to the name of God with name of God 7000 king sent me know as a team with a hey love it is 31 hey is 5 that's 36 and then I notice 46 then a mem is 86 I forget that's waiter anyway the word secret is the word secret where the hidden is 60 plus 6 plus for the both of them equal means 70 so when the wine goes in the secrets come in and it's the secret what's the secret and that's I will finish you just want to mention one more thing as some people get you asked what is it specifically wine so you're allowed to supplement with part of alcohol on for him you led to supplement because why is quite filling it's only about 12 to 14 percent alcohol and so you're also having a festive meal it can get a little hard to get to the point without getting yourselves sick from just the volume of liquid inside your stomach while eating a festive meal you know it's a lot of that's a lot of wine you know I figure how many balls Riley how many bottles were to take you get that snacker turnoff to me okay to an f3 that's a lot of wine that's that's a wine 750 milliliters times three is you know ya liters of wine inside of you and and you're just the chances of you getting sick over just that are high so someone believe that it's a good idea to drink a couple shots just to like get your buzz going love this rifle yeah but you gotta be careful because now you're mixing alcohol and stuff with a couple shots so the infirmary lab nap people were elderly allowed net and and since you're bringing that up I just want to mention something what's your name younger you under said something interesting that that that like elderly be reloaded nap on the on the holiday if you know just bypassed this whole issue how do you fulfill a missile when you're fast asleep and the answer is is that there's two Commandments in the Torah better that take place when you're unconscious one is the joy of Sukkot happens when you're sleep in the Succa you have to be asleep in there like you'll never quite understand circus and what if you sleep inside the circuit and that's why you like in Jerusalem you know where everything's like more intense so the women sleep in the Succa in Jerusalem where it's outside of Jerusalem women are generally like I'm not sleeping out there who says cats not gonna come into the sukkah and they are in there whereas in Jerusalem the women sleep in the circuit and the other is the others poram happens when you lose consciousness so people who cannot drink alcohol must during that day to connect now good luck taking in their while every single apartment in your entire building that's music blasting with people like dancing on their tables and jumping off and swinging off balcony isn't the whole city's gone good at least eight and like now you're gonna go take a nap good luck but but but that is a way it's a weirdest thing but you can actually fulfill the mitzvot by getting some sleep because you have to be unconscious I've been there now by the way - for the alcohol you don't have to get a you don't have to pass out you just have to be smashed if you're smashed hey what's that well that's the issue is people want to supplement with cannabis or with psychedelics and stuff like that it's a problem a little bit because they tend to lend more clarity than lack of clarity psychedelics are engendered by great clarity and so and so you're not you're going the wrong direction here you know you're supposed to be going towards blurring not clarity you understand so it's a bit of an issue you're blowing till clarity right what but you're blowing it until it's clear yeah but it's it might be fine I don't know and it could be second hooks are the way to go I mean one thing I know is that the micro dosing of them you know is it's not intoxicating but it might lend itself towards helping someone with the stamina required for the holiday because the holiday is demanding man because you a lot of people are dummies a part of the night before too so it's like a part of the night before when the party is really during the day so that so nothing woke up a little hungover right now and now they're going into this crazy party where you have now is the Mitzvah so fight the fight the bear the correction fight the bear that bit you anyway so why is really the the best thing I imagine if someone's super drunk canvas isn't offering a lot of clarity at that point so it may actually spin them up like read them up even higher in their drunkenness yeah the likelihood of throwing up so much higher I've noticed that the the person who was like on the edge and then does can't like he's on the edge like he's barely keeping himself from spinning out and he's just holding on for dear life at the party and then like here comes the vapor the vapor guy walks in you know he always gotta watch out for mr. vape yeah the vapor guy yeah hey man hey man comes in with a baked pipe you know now you see people vaping at your turntable that guy who was holding on gonna toss in his cookies you understand he's gonna he's gonna be instead of praying to the real God he could be praying to the porcelain God on its knees in front of the toilet so anyway I think we more or less nailed this and the idea is just to come to the revelation that it's all from God now I just want to mention one thing about women I've met a lot of women who don't like porn very much I'm not talking about the single bright about the the wives with dealing with costume parties that they got to get each kids set up and it's like a big competition you know of like having their kids to be properly decked out and he's like way over the top costumes that's hard there's not always a lot of money around so that's part two because it's a lot of money going out over that um then they're expected to create this festive meal you know which can also be you know hard and tiring and now they create so they created the whole festive meal while nursing or pregnant and keeping track of a bunch of little ones at the same time income a full-on drunken party where her husband who was usually some form of stability in her life has now turned into a blithering idiot and you know just there's nothing holding things up now it's like there's nothing nothing staples happening in her life after two weeks of nothing stable because I don't know if you all noticed but once you walk in either you're walking into like destabilization you know regen if you've noticed things are destabilized the last two weeks yeah it's a highly destabilizing period when you get into the there are month the oneness that dwells underneath it all the chaos why because he's he's the order of the chaos and then he just hides hides in such a way that everything looks extra chaotic and it's pretty scary time of year and I I can tell you like literally I mean not that I remember but but in my 25 years of marriage since I've like made my own home every major thing that we've ever dealt with that was you know heavy on us like hard and difficult and suffering big time and even sometimes really bad every single one of those hit on honor that's all hit during this month every single time other is the month where it's like hold on for the ride man because God plays hardball in honor it also makes sense a little bit that it's the twelfth month because you know you kind of got to go through everything in this month you know cuz it could be he was like I don't know like it could be you're so buttoned up all the time that God didn't even have a chance to throw a curve ball so the curve ball is hitting in honor you know that's when you're gonna get your curve balls because most of us want some sense of order in our lives so you're some of us are pretty darn good at creating that order comes along other and God just laughs and just will turn you upside down and just so many crazy things happen on our nerves like you I guess hope when I get to other I just take it a deep breath and I let it out at the end of honor and however it's really only the first two weeks because comes the hood the energy of the month changes and now everything shifts to joy and heading towards Passover the spring and clarity the you and the head the puppet inhave are in their proper order you know at the beginning of Nisan and everything kind of gets clear and it's just flour and water you know matzo it's like clarity no way no additives you know it's just simplicity and purity and and so we're going to that but we first got to kind of pay our dues from the year and and by the way other so back to the women is a lot of women kind of dread for well with married women with big families like dread porn and so I just want to say all those women who dread Purim is to let go in into Purim just let go into it surrender put up the white flag yeah it's gonna be nuts it's gonna be crazy do your best to keep an eye on your kids you know but God's really taking care of them and and just like celebrate it you know just celebrate it but I by surrendering to it you know we got a surrender to the chaos I mean there's chaos that we don't surrender to which all year long we're basically doing our best to order chaotic things but then there's a cast that that trying to fight it will only create more anxiety it's a chaos that you can't fix and that's part what was the cast that you can't do much about the place which you see you guys were in Jerusalem you're just any of the first time here for porn I mean you just there's nothing I can say that will do justice to what's gonna happen to this city you just can't believe it the cops you know the cops do the cops just like go home there's nothing they can do about anything they just they're off duty they're just different okay an emergency yeah but there's no more law and order rules there's nobody like I mean just people I I walked out of a party that I've got of a party where we were people wind up you never wind up where you started your party so everyone should have that in mind when they wash for the bread and you should be in Jerusalem by the way for that if you can but people when you wash for your bread meal you never know where you're gonna make your blessing you later so just have in mind when you watch I don't know where I'll be so we walk out of this crazy party where I think we're escaping the party actually because I think that something turned up there and things like that happen on for like I think someone was after one of my students and so we all just kind of went running out of the party Oh each one of us had our own bottle wine yeah that one's like walking with our own bottle wine we come out of the party but we're kind of being chased out of the party so if we get to the street when we get to the street two of my students are ahead of me I'm next what's going on a guy with his kids sitting on the dashboard is driving with his pedal to the metal straight up my two students I'm you know you want to check out you're always looking at the whites of eyes you know our emergency reflexes to look at whites of I see if the guy notices the whites of his eyes he's upside down in his mouth drinking upside down his eyes white one hand on the stereo one hand with a bottle upside down my students are right from the cars dirty they just barely to get their feet up onto his hood onto his windshield and airborne and they both land on their feet with their bodies not a drop of wine spill and the guy just flies right through an interceptor on a red light slides right through the intersection a red light just kept going it's nothing gonna happen nothing nothing happened my students then that one the guy Carolyn - boy and this is insane things there was there was there was a funeral procession it was a funeral procession middle of the holiday Anshu all night right by your house small and ugly it was a terror it was a tragedy one of the rabbi's of Israel died on his way up his stair drunk as a skunk dies on the way to his apartment and why isn't taking the stairs anyway old man liked a little bit yeah he's smashed drunk and he didn't make it and so I found them in there like oh man word gets out all over a small W area that whatever the Rob's name wasn't dying I forget name Rob enough from that community but a big rabbi of their community in so what do they do and what's smashed drunk they they took a car put him on a car got him down the stairs and just started a procession down the street with the dead rabbi laying on the bed with a thomas over him you know you put a toss over and they're bringing him to uh to the corner over there of bar-ilan what's the name of that cemetery but Sant'Andrea they breed him to the funeral home to like hand him over to there you know to the people in charge of dead bodies and that and so after a while people are like you know you gotta respect the dead so it's just a giant procession and it is like after Wilder Lane forty people was over by it was closer to mayishan him so by the time it got near by lon it was like it was like hundreds of people were like why you were crying I don't know like their arms around each other they're holding each other up and finally people just start screaming screaming screaming what happens he woke up he woke up he's going like this with the tallest over his head he's sitting up on the bed that's the tallest off his head and he sees in the middle of his own funeral funeral procession I have a picture of the cob list of the old city I brush him still like I said about Mavis oh he's already in his 90 I had a picture maybe some hundred already about Sheinberg was Chinese probably a hundred right I don't know fine about 100 you still use probably the Kotel right now he's the Cobblers guilty his communities all over the Israel the what's a phone might spot but the hidden light it's called where's 90 known as Rob Schenck burger elevation is rough chamber vice-versa disruption burger that's what chamber yeah there's a rabbi a warlike like 90 pairs of Citiz he passed away but a human in 90 pursuit in your book you're going NFL player you know Mike Mike Abruzzo my learning partner went to ask him a question is we went in his wife's life yes he was like I'd like to ask the rabbi but she said he's on the balcony he goes down the balcony he comes back in he says he's not on the balcony and she says did you notice a pile of laundry there goes back on the balcony the bell wonder that little head little head of an old man you know inside the pile of laundry you know so spooky I've seen it I saw many times this never pays memory should be for a blessing anyway rough Sheinberg I was half of shining burgers house it was literally a half hour before Shabbos you need the bells already brought it's after kennelly we're still partying hard it's Friday afternoon we're parting heart and I have a picture of the rabbit I haven't I've lost it and I know it exists somewhere in my house right took the picture of the rabbi he this way he's in his mid-70s he's got a shot glass a silver you know beautiful silver shot glass in the world so she got a shot glass of one I meaning you know you can like put a cup in your eye it's got a shot glass of one eye his other eyes after heaven he's airborne and when you look down below he's you know he's like one foots up like this the other foot it's like pointing down and guess what's under that foot not the floor a chair he's fully airborne in his mid-70s smash drunk a shot glass and one eye the other eyes going out that way and he's full-on airborne having jumped off a chair in the middle of his you know frenzy of Casa de gansan and there's I have a shot of that somewhere I've just never been able to find it's probably attic somewhere half hour later we won't make cleared our pockets of stuff because Chavez can have electronics you know anything we don't clear our pockets we went down the western wall for Shabbos Dominick except no one can stand so we're all there praying with him he leads the minion everyone's holding each other up literally like I could only pray based on the guy next to me based on the man who's in the whole entire hotel arm and I'm praying trying to hold each other up for cobble up Shabbat now um why they tell you all these sir Oh for the women is you just gotta surrender to it and and also also drink a little wine drink a little wine you know the name of the game is wine if you if you normally wouldn't drink wine so drink a little one if you normally have a glass have to if you'd have to have three but drinking wine don't don't get drunk don't be drunk in such a way that cuz there's a lot of drunk men around and they're dangerous you know drunk man or generally dangerous I'll never forget the first this will be my last story the first poram ever I get invited to the man who's teaching me the 613 like we the rabbi who taught me the 613 mitzvot his name is rabbi Aryan livin I'm will end with this ready so this rabbi we've got the 613 minutes of us invited us all to his house in beit art for porn and so here we are at his house we've all were brand new we're like

know enough she's got 15 drunk men chill no she can't trust any of these guys and can you trust a man on that level of alcohol anyway and so what did she do she gets her next-door neighbor from across the hall of her building to come and guard the food um with our wine we sent in an emissary to get more wine the emissary comes back to the table assistant there's two rabbits ins two rabbis wives block in the fridge and which point all 15 of us go into did you don't we say to this lady we say oh this lady we all learned the laws of men and women not touching each other within the last couple
