okay how was your week by the way
wonderful very full but good Baruch
Hashem great studies yeah everything has
been wonderful family's good how's your
week and your family bro Hashem my
family's great you know we just under a
lot of pressure and it's perfect all I
can say is the Shem doesn't give you
challenges you can't handle that's what
we keep telling ourselves yeah I wish I
was with you in person Oh miss yeah and
miss Jerusalem we wish you to good work
we appreciate everything you're doing it
you Bonet and anything that we can do or
that you need help with let us know
we're continuing to spread awareness and
posting links for your organization and
so so if you notice this parsha is it in
Deuteronomy chapter 21 I believe 21
verse 10 what we're dealing with here it
says Kate Salem L comma Olivet huh when
you go out to war on your enemies notice
in the English first of all you're going
out to war so what kind of war is it
there are two types of wars you heard
this before a war that is a obligatory
war called a mill kamat Mitzvah
it's an obligatory war it's a mitzvah to
go to war and when is that that is when
we're being attacked for in order to
conquer the Land of Israel make sense
that's right then there's an optional
war what's that it sounds crazy right
some of the things we hear in the bible
whoa you know it's not really pc but
let's say the King decides he wants to
up the economy
and he wants to capture resources he
wants to in that type of a war there's
no Mitzvah to kill everyone see in a
mitzvah that's were you're defending
yourself or you're capturing Israel
there's a mitzvah to wipe out men women
and children now when we attack they
know we're coming and they're latter
flee so it's not like it's just not
genocide okay on the other hand when we
talk about an optional war you're not
allowed to wipe out the entire only the
combatants are your Latta kill so this
situation in our parsha is a Mohammed
reduce say optional war and you're not
gonna kill the women and children you
only gonna kill the combatants now this
woman you've come upon is a beautiful
woman as we'll see and you want to take
her captive well it's not so clear that
it's captive in fact it sounds like it's
rape the truth is there is no such thing
as rape and Judaism because I mean in
this type of situation because you're
not allowed to rape somebody so there
are different opinions as you're
becoming well aware of there's the main
opinion is you're not allowed to sleep
with this woman until after 30 days
she's already in your house now there is
an opinion that your Latta sleep with
her one time but it has to be consensual
so for sure rape is not on the table
and we talked about before when you go
to warn your drem legs all pumped up can
imagine we we notice in war many times
we call them were crimes of course that
there is raping and horrible atrocities
genocide even so we're cutting out
genocide from the definition of genocide
as we know it because even in a in the
obligatory war they have the freedom to
leave and they choose not to so this is
because they're coming against us so we
have the right to kill them we're not
going out of our boundaries and wiping
out of people that's an optional war and
you're only allowed to kill combatants
okay so we're going to focus in on the
idea of what we call rape and I already
mentioned to you this is not really an
option here
no matter how you read it you will have
to understand what's really being said
so let's read it in English to get an
idea when you go out to war against your
enemies and a Shem your God will deliver
him into your hand and you will capture
his captivity
it's very cryptic because it doesn't
really tell us what's going on
especially when we once we delve into
the Hebrew some say this is all metaphor
and we're going to discuss the metaphor
is against your Yeats aha your enemy is
your Yeats AHA your evil inclination
there's other levels of metaphors that
we're talking about the pure soul that
is has to be unleashed okay so it's
going to be really deep philosophical II
philosophical issues that are going on
here so far we read the first verse
verse 11 says you will see amongst its
captivity a woman who's a beautiful form
what does that mean yeah attracted to
her and you will desire her and you'll
take her to yourself for a wife you'll
bring her into the midst of your house
and she shall then shave her head
let her nails grow what's going on here
does any of this make any sense to you
allowing for Mourning why because that's
very well could be it very well could be
but it's not gonna happen in every case
first of all you may have gone house to
ask combat and killed her
all the males in her family and they
were all the women were hiding in a
closet you opened the closet and there
they are so good you know you know
they're all dead but it could be in any
situation you came across this woman
trying to you know buy through you don't
know anything about her family but okay
so if she's we do know that's the case
there is this there's this sense of
mourning and we'll talk about it what is
the morning about so she's shaving her
head we're gonna have her head shaved
she's gonna let her nails grow okay and
then she removes her
garment of whatever her captivity means
from upon herself in senior house he's
gonna weep for her mother and father for
a full month again if you talk about all
the males which is she mourning for her
mother for five thirty days and after
that period of time thereafter you may
come to her and live with her and she
shall be a wife to you maybe at that
point is when you're going to consume
this relationship this sexual
relationship verse 14 but it shall be
that if you do not desire over sudden I
don't know what happened from this great
desire in the field to appear at a time
of thirty days and this this drama is
developing as we you know the great
choreographer in the sky commanded us to
make up this little play in our home but
it shall be that if you do not desire
her then you shall send her on her own
but you may not sell her for money you
now that enslave her because you have
afflicted her now this idea afflicted
her it could be what it could be the
relationship you actually had you'd
actually had a relationship with her
physical relationship you need to it's
kind of like you took her or that you
did have relations with her yeah
so back to the other opinion that if you
did find her in the field you know in
public so you're not allowed to have
relationship with her in public
talking about the opinion that says you
are allowed to have relationship before
that 30-day period starts
you have relations with their in-house
in a private place it's not we thought
publicly and it's only with her consent
so there isn't it
yep in that relationship with her and
immediately and the other opinion is no
way not until after this whole thing is
over so we can what is the affliction so
whoa well I'll tell you some things
outside what I realize is going on there
what is she doing she's going through a
conversion we discussed this when we
went through the mission the Mishnah
Torah it was the very last halakha of
the previous chapter that we were
starting that was talking about uh took
up a time it's talking about this
situation and it was talking about any
of the B'nai Noah any Gentile who does
not accept these seven universal laws is
really saying hebrew hai Amita is to be
put to death
mm-hmm so the time decides she's not
giving up her idols she should be put to
death so it must be that if you don't
like her she went through some kind of a
conversion of that conversion could be a
conversion to a bend off it could be
once a convert some but she just want to
marry you you may not want to marry her
but you're not certainly not a ladder
then enslave her and make money off it
and she was your property like you find
spoils and war to a certain extent she
was she would be she's not really
property so you can't treat her the same
way she held on to her idolatry or
there's some valid tore reason why
you're not happy with her okay but in
the end there may be a situation where
you do become married to her and the
rabbi's warned us that if you end up
marrying such a woman the result will be
a child who is wayward and rebellious
where do we see the juxtaposition but I
don't have the hope I do have a talk in
front of me
we'll see if you go to pages not pages
but chapter 21 verse 18 if a man will
have a wayward and rebellious son who
does not listen to the voice of his
father or to the voice of his mother and
they discipline him
so the rabbi's teach us this whole
situation of taking this captive in war
is not what we call Hebrew let her Kela
it's not something that should be you
should be proud of or that you should
try to be involved with and we're gonna
see why but you can imagine already that
if the rabbi's are telling us it's not a
good idea because they know that Hashem
really doesn't desire it that this
resolved the resultant what will the
consequences be a a rebellious son which
is the last thing anybody wants okay
that child has to be put to death which
is interesting because that's also a
metaphor we say never happens the
rabbi's there's a mock locus and the
Gomorrah one rabbi mowed majority
everyone basically says it never
happened but there's one rabbi says what
are you talking about I stood on one of
their great hmm how do you have how do
you have a statement is bold that had
never happened and then you have this
rabbis all right I stood on his grave
what does he mean means he did exist but
he doesn't exist now we see that you're
supposed to be put to death
so our own automatic assumption is he
was decreed by the Beit din as a wayward
of a son and he was executed but my
rabbi taught me that
they're not there's no conflict and
that's usually the case whenever we hear
the rabbi's argue what happens is they
sit down together and you'll see that
they're coming from different
perspectives of the same thing but so my
rabbi explained that the type of person
that is this way when a rebellious son
is so self-destructive that he'll never
make it to the Beit din to the court for
the to be executed because he is
self-destruct he will self-destruct I
stood on the grave of one of them but
there was never a court it was never it
was never a judgment the person is self
destructed there's no conflict of course
it could exist but it doesn't get that
far because it doesn't allow itself to
get that far because it's part of the
system but Hashem put like we'll call
default if it ever came to be that the
kid that's as self-destructive as that
kid is why are we executing an innocent
person he's only a twelve and a half
years old he's not even 13 he's not
boring Mitzvah he's not obligated
because of the foresight that if this
kid is so bad at 12 and a half what's
gonna happen when he turns third day
what's bad but he's gonna be 20 years
old he's gonna be one of those I don't
know the name of these gangs in Mexico
em 13 there's something this guy's gonna
be telling people to cross roads it's
gonna be holding up banks and shooting
people I mean come on mm-hmm how do you
kill an innocent person but the base
thing is obligated to execute this child
because of what will happen it's like
someone who's that destructive there's
no there's no question what's gonna
happen when he's gay gets older so first
of all as a metaphor it's to keep the
parents in line meaning the parents
should see the signs as they come along
and try to take care of it you never
come to that situation but it's a
metaphor meaning that all the lessons
the parents need to know and how to deal
with their children before it snowballs
or and explodes into such a situation
so to here we're talking on a very
metaphysical level
are we really talking about people going
to war I'm talking I'm telling a Jewish
army a holy Jewish army and we'll see
why you know what goes on in the army in
the when we have the same Hedren we have
it's called a Cohen with Chirac you
heard that term mm-hmm he's the Cohen
who leads them to battle and before they
go to battle I mean I was thinking I
these movies you see in in Ireland the
mitad in the Middle Ages you know
they're all lined up and the head guy is
getting them going like your family's
depend on this everything depends on
this we're gonna go get them yeah maybe
like Braveheart or some of those movies
you know so I'm thinking to myself this
Cohen before they my momma's go out to
war did we further in front of the enemy
they're still in the city they didn't go
out yet he asked to work questions these
are the famous four questions
not that we asked at the Passover Seder
but these are the four questions that
the Cohen who's anointed that's why he's
called Cohen mashach
he's anointed and he's gonna leave them
to battle but he asked who just got
married right if you're in your first
year of marriage go home if you're we're
not talking about a an obligatory war an
obligatory war Mohamed Mitzvah everyone
has to go but a optional war so if
you're in your first year of marriage
you don't go if you just built a house
you didn't live in it for you you don't
go if you built a and not built a if you
planted a vineyard and you didn't get to
eat from the grapes or drink from the
wine you don't go to war and the fourth
is really the main purpose of all those
other three questions did you hear this
is anybody here a sinner and is afraid
of his past does anybody have a feeling
of guilt that if they go through war
they're gonna die on account of their
sins and they're not ready
so now after I'm finished all announcing
these four things then everyone who fits
into one of these five core categories
walks away what's going on here we don't
want to embarrass anybody and who's left
can you imagine you had like aha
whatever let's say you had a thousand
people and by the end of the day you got
300 or less left similar to Gideon's
experience I was thinking about this
name : masuo and isn't that the same
route as mushiya it's almost like a
warrior king I mean a priestly king
somebody who leads the people in
conquering and yet he's also a righteous
King right for sure they're all
righteous in fact the whole armies
righteous cuz who's left that's right so
you're asking that the the name of shiok
it's me he is the word Michelle does not
mean what many Christians think or many
Gentiles think
mushiya means the one who's anointed
yeah everything every King is anointed
mm-hmm we mean the mashach when we refer
to the Messiah
okay but that is a big misunderstanding
Christianity but we're not gonna go into
that now okay yeah so the Cohen mashach
is The Anointed Messiah yes right he's
anointed purpose right where were we so
we're gonna start on oh I just wanted to
mention this is a metaphor and we're
gonna see as we go through why it's a
metaphor how it's a metaphor for your
battle against your your evil
inclination
let me start like this yes sir
when you go to a war as a mitzvah I
mentioned it's a total eradication of
your enemy when you go to war in a
optional war you don't eradicate but you
exploit I mentioned you're looking for
resources you don't take the people you
can take them as slaves over what's the
word you're not eradicating them you're
using them exploiting them your your
take your went there for the resources
okay so it says I want you to look at
the words when it says uh evac huh all
right it's a square black box your
enemy's okay then it says in attano when
the tie no it's in pink it says we'll
deliver him what do you notice you're
gonna go against your enemies plural
enemies IES enemies okay and God will
deliver him but I don't confuse you when
you go out to war against your enemies
God will deliver him shouldn't it have
said when you go out against your enemy
God will deliver him or when you go
against your enemies God will deliver
them in other words there should be
consistency the very the fact that it's
not symmetrical it's not consistent it's
teaching us something when you against
go against your enemies plural God will
deliver him when it's I know it
shouldn't write on a time then how did
it been we just look for the word cuz he
tells us yeah it's making your enemy
singular which is a very good yes we all
have that inner enemy the yetzer hara
aha there's a duel man and we're gonna
we're gonna see how we're gonna prove
this okay so maybe I should use the text
to go into it I want to point out a few
other things first of all it says when
you go out so going out means you're
leaving your comfort zone remember I
mentioned it's an optional were so you
leaving the borders of Israel to capture
resources but if we're going to the
we're going to the metaphor we'll have
to explain what that means it says to
the war okay now you go to a war or you
go to battle you go to the war or you go
to fight look why does it mean when you
go to live milk come on to the battle
okay so how does he translate it says to
war it's a it's a blue box you're going
to war it doesn't say you're going to
fight the next important thing we're
going to look at is the word ow
so not only you're not going to battle
you're only going to the war like I
thought when you go out to where you go
to fight mm-hmm it doesn't say that just
says you when you go out to the war to
work but it doesn't say to fight then it
says Olivette huh what does it mean oh
it means now if I'm going to have an
enemy we heard this word before it's
called can negate I'm going against my
enemy the word against in Hebrew should
have been used it we translate it if you
look it's an orange
it's a circle and orange we translated
as against because that's how we were
taught to translator from kazaaam but
it's it's an odd word it's an anomaly it
should say can negate what it says all
as if you're coming from above down some
all means upon your coming upon your
enemy not against your enemy which is a
very interest we're going to get on into
all this stuff
this is beautiful then a very awkward
statement is the shemitah
shiv yo captured its captive captured
its captive captured a captive capture
how does these you will capture his
captive it's a very just in English it
sounds weird okay let's just start with
that okay we're gonna we're gonna work
work it all out so again what he the
clea car we use as a as the outline for
the class again the word ieave their car
I just want to show if you want to see
the word I Becca with one good to see
the difference how its singular versus
plural you have two yards look how it's
spelled I'll if you add bet you would
cough now if you look in chapter I think
it's 20 verse 1
just as one chapter back is we're in
chapter 21 verse 10 look in chapter 20
verse 1 it says when you go out to
battle against your enemy the word if
you have a Hebrew Bible it doesn't have
to yours it's all of your bet Cup
literally means with a singular enemy
over there over here it's talking about
a multiple enemy definitely is talking
about two enemies or more right now that
word doesn't have two yards I'm looking
back at 20 verse 1 and we see the
milanesa oh that's it oh yeah I love you
dad cos I love you Det huff
oh yeah that's something Yodas been out
there that's right right after the bank
but in all but in our our purse it is
there so I just wanted to prove to you
you see the difference here it says
enemies over there it says enemy so
we're talking about plural and then
again afterwards the the word
immediately afterwards in attano and he
will deliver him right and he will God
will deliver him but if you wanted to
say then deliver them and would have
said unit on um when at an na means and
deliver that but it doesn't it says
deliver him and again the word al really
means connected that's what it should
have said and the reason why we're
bringing these to light is because
there's actually a measures that
discusses this it's a two liner and it
basically says that the word i'll upon
your enemy means against your enemy
meaning you need to be told that because
otherwise you would think it's you're
coming down on your enemy which it
literally means that we're going to
discuss it and a sham will put it into
your hand into your hand also is very
important because the measures tells us
that if you do this is the important
thing we're going to focus for the next
hour okay if if you do what the
scripture says as shem will deliver him
into your hand in the end in the end you
will win the war if you do what god said
to do what did God say to do to take
that woman
there's no metaphor but whatever take
the woman
put her inside your house shave her head
don't let her cut her nails take her
beautiful clothes off and put on the
sackcloth allow her to mourn 30 days
crying about the loss of her parents and
then Hashem will deliver him into your
hand but it's a proclamation as Rashi
says that that's what's going to happen
in the end it's like we call it a
guaranteed thing now that's crazy
how can there be a guarantee so he the
first thing he wants to do is tell us he
himself has a question he's very honest
and upfront you capture a captive that
doesn't mean you won the war so if I
capture the captive does that mean he's
already put in my hand are we really
talking about winning the entire war and
as an example when I give you the I gave
you a source sheet look one source
number one in numbers 21 a 21 1 there is
a case where the Canaanite king of Arad
who lived in the south heard that Israel
come by the river spies there was a war
he waged war against us and he took from
them a captive so he did say but guess
what he didn't win the war you can end
up things happen but that doesn't mean
diddly-squat you doesn't mean you win a
war so he's kind of trying just to bring
home the point that I don't really get
what's going on here
or he's going he really does he's just
playing that was advocate he wants
honesty here clarity just because you do
all these things like at what point do I
know I'm gonna win the war so he's
first of all what was really bothering
the author of this Meldrick that he felt
that we needed to be taught this lesson
so again because of that singular plural
issue right enemies but it's only him
that is being delivered into your hand
so these are his words so beautiful
vada shamitabh a boy of akkad Crotty
there's absolute certainty we are
disgusting we are discussing we are
talking about one very particular enemy
who's included in your general massive
amount of energy and enemies
this is mentioned we are discussing one
particular enemy out of your enemies and
who is this the Hebrew and me who's ever
ASA who it's actually a verse from the
Megillah Magilla tester who exactly is
this guy
Eames Hakeem Saar
are you anemic you can only be it
certainly is this rival and your
internal enemy and he says who is this
the seitan which is the 8th Sahara but
when is this a ton when is the Yates RRR
you know it's also the Mount Mazama base
the angel death when is this energy most
sexy addiction efficient able to get his
job mission done I'm it I'm a contouring
video to be szostak Inaba milk hama
there's din judgment become more at a
time of danger such as war right many
people not going home mm-hmm just be
many people get injured during work this
is a dangerous situation
and in a dangerous situation the Angel
of Death which is the same as your evil
inclination which is the same as the
tsaatan
that's when he has his free reign so to
speak that's when he has is he's
energized when he gets the most amount
of work done you hear what I'm saying
yeah we're talking rape I mean how okay
I mean I don't know what happened in
Vietnam okay but in most not Western not
not democracies right you see a huge
amount of rape and atrocities that take
place during war especially that came
from Chora you don't see it as much but
those that do not have that you do it's
true so okay I got excited I lost my
place as usual okay so up until this
okay so you read numbers 21 one and then
you were leading into Devery and twenty
years one yes so he wants to reiterate
the question when we saw in chapter 21
verse 1 this is when you go out to war
now regarding this is and he will be
placed Hashem will place them into your
hand now God that's like saying if you
do exactly what you're told you're gonna
win it's like there's some kind of
called divine promise Christians how do
we understand we want to fulfill right
we would like to see that - my promise
we need to understand what God wants us
to do so I read the words he says
what what is that mean it's it's a
difficulty how is a who monk oh how is
he assure that cash M will place the
enemy into his hand what is it after her
a occurs in Emma Enya nation see alpha
star because right away the whole story
of the captive woman is spoken about and
this is a important lesson but I'm about
to tell you
in Hebrew shallow deep retire ellika
negative eight sorrow the Torah will
called the scripture will call the Word
of God is only coming through one
purpose and that is against the yatsuha
it's an instruction manual how I'm to
live a righteous life it comes to teach
me how to ward off how to fight off how
to overcome the evil inclination that
God gave me God wants to see me grow God
gave me again it's called the Torah it's
amazing and so it's not this is just an
example but it's an example of the whole
Torah the entire Torah not just this few
lines the entire scripture the entire
book is coming as an aid as a method of
fighting off the enemy of it hazing the
enemy within
that's what it's all so now we have a
question this man all deeds man took the
lady there you go but what do I do I'm
stuck right now I just took the lady so
I my my passion is still there how can
it be that if my passion is there that
I'm going to overcome my external enemy
there's remember we're going to discuss
there's two enemies is the internal
enemy and an external enemy how is it
that if I'm still steeped into my
passion which I'm the assumption is
we're talking about a 30-day oh by the
way did you like my haircut yeah I was
gonna come in looking sharp did you like
do that no I went to a barber okay he
was we we took a picture before and
after he was very impressed and he
started showing those customers who had
walked in after what I'd look like good
selling point for him if you want to be
as handsome as this rabbi come here but
he's saying that he's having a problem
because the guy is still steeped in his
passion so and and only that he's exists
another brain look hot Sarkoja claw mode
naked y it's ro
it sounds like he's not able to overcome
to stand up against his evil inclination
until he gets tripped up with this
beautiful woman in other words a really
good point because no one could ever
overtake Israel as long as they were
faithful so as long as they overcame the
enemy within the enemy without could not
attack them or conquer them the same way
we and they went out to battle if they
were living righteously they were always
able to be victorious because they had
that covering of Hashem that blessing
that protection and yet they would lose
that just like with the case of Ilham
when they went fornicating then all of a
sudden what he couldn't do to curse them
they he got them to curse themselves in
essence by succumbing with that enemy
with him but you see in the story of a
con in Jericho first came in we told not
to take the spoils of AI and one guy
took spoils and we lost people in the
war and there was a lottery to find out
who really everyone at God knew of
course and his family knew because they
benefit from the spoils but we wanted to
get him to confess so there was a whole
choreographed play in order to get him
to confess with the Lots one man sinned
and we all suffered remember this idea
remember it well besides all feeds
matter and oh all lives matter
oh dude all Jewish lives matter but that
one person can sin and bring a tragical
collective punishment mm-hmm because
we're all connected that's right and one
Jew can do a righteous act and save the
entire world if one Jew slips the scales
to the positive right as opposed to the
negative just like when he closed in a
negative God forbid evil payment
judgment comes to the world so to when
in one Jew slips the scales
you know and it's can save one person
could save the whole world through his
actions this is what each person should
realize the enormous responsibility of
their choices it can be that tipping
point on the scales hallelujah brother
okay let me let me find where you are so
so he says I don't I don't get where
this promise of he'll be placed into
your hands because we said in the Madras
that he will be placed in your hands is
a future tense and that means only in
the end he'll be put into your hands you
know you will overcome the enemy in the
end but it's again it's only if you do
exactly what was said such as what
shaving her head and making her
repulsive what what does it say
afterwards
it says afterwards if you can look in
verse 14 and it shall be if you have not
desired her then you shall send her on
her own
it says well hiya now the word higher is
you you see hey yud hey hey yah yah yah
is past tense it was
but you know what the love in the beanie
of the word does there's above above
acts either as it's called a Volvo makuu
bar that that that means it's the word
adds one letter means the word head
mm-hmm now that usually is used with
nouns it could mean a door and you're
dealing with a noun when you're dealing
with a verb it switches it from future
to past or past the future it only works
in Biblical Hebrew this is one of the
most important lessons you'll ever learn
I'm telling you because nothing makes
sense otherwise it's consistent trust me
so it's future tense it will be in in
loketh odd stuff about this past tense
it will be that what that you won't
desire her past tense already what is
Rossi say Rashi says Navarre syurash a
South carles note though that in the end
you will actually come to hate her so
this is late as we said this whole story
we're discussing is a metaphor again
against gho haram but if you do
everything you're told to do in the end
you will note will you lose that desire
for her you'll come to hate her that's
what the verse says volume low how
thoughts the bow in the end you don't
have any desire let me ask you something
in psychology I don't know if you've
ever heard this but I've heard it more
than once I don't know if it's true but
I'm assuming based on tour knowledge and
science seems to agree when you're in a
passion you're let's say lust let's use
the word lust you have a lust for
somebody the end will be that you'll
hate them you have a love for somebody
the end will be they'll still love them
even if you're not with them but love is
real and unbroken lust turns into hate
at the end of that passionate moment you
ever heard anything like that yeah
absolutely
that's that selfish inclination that one
hates himself
and so that hatred for himself pert is
projected on the object of his affection
and that guilt and that self
condemnation and he ends up persecuting
the very one he claimed to love of
course it was never real love in the
first place but yeah that is okay and
we're gonna see that later on also in
detail now he says as a result remember
his hope his whole problem is how does
the mechanism work he tells us like this
that the evil inclination then is handed
over into his hand which he hates in
other words by doing everything you're
supposed to do you're overcoming not
that God is delivering your enemy your
external external enemy into your hands
which is true we'll talk about later but
first and foremost you need to overcome
your inner enemy and that is being
placed into your hand and that is the
purpose of this scheme that a God set up
for us because now if you look on number
three source number three in
lamentations Co helis what is this do
you want to read it for us from my sheet
so we're on the same page number three
from lamentations 7 verse 2 it is better
to go to a house of mourning until go to
a house of feasting for that is the end
of every man and the living shall lay it
to his heart ok so I underlined the
first part table lacketh el-beit novel
it's better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of you so that's
actually what we call haha
it's law I mean it's not one of the 613
commandments but it's ahaha you
have two vacations or three invitations
in front of you you have a choice to go
to a Britt don't at the same time same
day same city you have to you know
figure out where you going you got three
invitations once to a Brit Milah a
circumcision once to a wedding and once
to a funeral that's you know I was just
meditating on that last night because
that is actually considered a act of
kindness and in the five different ways
that we show acts of kindness and sadaqa
to comfort the morning is a mitzvah it's
part of our whole approach and so this
is like you said an established law
already before even it's being written
by Jeremiah here to understand that to
feed yourself or to feed others spirits
it's better to feed other spirits and
this is a very important for us to do
but now let's why is it so important to
go to this house of mourning then to go
to this feast this lets you know it
doesn't mean a feast as you're eating it
means a feast as a happy place we're set
someone just died and it's better to
comfort the mourner that I mean we're
talking about a choice here obviously if
you can do both you should oppose Rotolo
but it says it's better to go now still
mourning
so what was the scenario we set up there
this woman is in your home morning that
was literally what we we spoke about we
said that thirty days one month not
thirty days but one month because you
know month could be 29 days
but we'll just use 30 days as an example
because there's another hint that this
is talking about the month of L we're
getting ready for Russia shot at the yom
had been and Russia actually ello has 29
days so it's specific he doesn't say 30
days it says that's right a month so
it's almost a hint to the idea it could
have just said 30 days but it says a
month so we know that this time I tell
all red rush shutter the omec did and
this is a time for true la trouve a true
anyway
beautiful so here we get my wife saying
it now
what was that where was I I bring out
this so it was this verse we used first
so the verse tells us in Ecclesiastes
right please lamentations lamentations
Kohala says not lamentations go hell
says Ecclesiastes I think so it's not
it's not lamentations I'm a little
Sanders mistake yeah it's definitely not
lamentations it's Ecclesiastes so you
can make sure okay so everybody looking
up that tussock looking up that verse
and that would taste not gonna find it
it's in Co helis King Solomon very wise
person wrote that based on the oral
torah the torah that he knew there's
nothing new Under the Sun right mm-hmm
another quote from Mad King Solomon so
we're saying that this is I'm gonna say
in Hebrew I think I did already this is
the main scheme that it's ready for this
it's gonna be fair you got to be sitting
down to hear this everyone sitting down
listening to this when you go to the
funeral when you go to the eulogy when
you go to the house of mourning you're
reminding yourself of your own mortality
you're reminding yourself that you are
gonna die one day and guess what happens
the Yates arad the evil inclination is
then reminded as well and that's the
last thing he wants because he want you
to live he wants you to live if you die
what's he gonna do he's gonna start to
dead he's getting he's feeding all all
your sins he's getting off on all your
mistakes so if you make that one final
mistake let's take suicide he's gone
he's the evil Ganesha actually doesn't
want me to die mm-hmm so he'll run away
he'll try to escape to someone else's
you know their consciousness body mind
spirit so what do you do you go to this
you know in our verse not lamentations
but in because they asked these what are
you doing you're reminding your own
Yates ihara about death first you
reminding yourself and then the
consciousness enters whatever this
consciousness of the isara and so it
Sobers you up right if he's running away
that means you're free to to be like
real so with this woman in your house
for those 30 days what are you doing
you're creating a an environment of her
mourning that's literally the words
she's mourning over her father and her
mother so this is all part of the scheme
of trying to overcome your Yates aha
it's very good tomorrow every choice we
make this may be our last choice we want
it to be for Hashem for good and not for
the self or for the enemy but only to
glorify God
it may be our last act and it may be the
tipping point on the scales not only for
ourselves but for the city that we live
in like Abraham so so he yeah yeah one
righteous man
so just to continue the conversation
that way after you're reminded and he's
reminded and there's a sobering
experience
he says certainly he will leave and your
desires will quiet down like that's the
result the desires then he says eyes to
Cotabato eyes Tish Colt avato check it
now they're your desires quiet down and
then you'll hate her right as a result
of that lust leaving then the hate comes
in again we're talking about a real
woman I was home at the metaphor of your
holy 8 Sahara and your experience and we
said it emeasure says in the end it's
basically approximation for the very
beginning that you'll come to hate her
and that's why it says in the end of
Shem who will deliver him into your hand
okay how we doing for time so far we've
got another 50 minutes oh yeah great
okay and it's for this very reason you
need to explain the word this is gonna
this is gonna freak many people out
seatbelts seatbelts remember we said the
word ow means in it's as if you're
coming down upon your enemy unto huh as
opposed to against your enemy and can
nag it would have made more sense when
you go against your enemy I mean we
translators against because that's what
we're told to do but so you understand
but the word I'll is not it's an anomaly
it's not to be used but it is used so in
fact the language of ow is cannot even
be justified in a regular war when you
come you ask I guess any strategy ition
is that the word a general is coming
strategist you're coming against your
enemy
I mean if you could come from up and you
know ambush him but it's that's like a
unique situation in general you're
coming against your enemy but God says
you're gonna come right I'll exactly
upon your enemy so the truth is ready
for this it's crazy yeah you're back in
verse 10 yeah the word oh it's a we're
still the Furber forwards in yeah but no
try to just think of this when you okay
how do I say it the wars the battles are
fought in heaven by let's call them the
ministering angels of each nation
there's some angelic forces spiritual
forces the battles all take place there
first and then the winners already
determined and then the battles played
out here mmm
that's what happens in a external world
an internal war it comes from the bottom
up external war it comes from the top
down and the first proof he brings for
this is in this is the fourth source and
judges 5 verse 20 you want to read it
from heaven they thought the stars from
their courses fought against Sisera ok
I'm a little bit of a different
translation no they fought from heaven
the stars in their courses or orbits
fought against this rock right in Hebrew
it says min Hashem I Anil Camus look in
the Hebrew written as my profession they
fought mm-hmm
I've called hevene min solo Tom the
stars from their orbits what is God
telling us here that the battles are
first fought in heaven
and start simple of the Angelics fear so
that's very good the stars in their
courses another dual application
referring to exactly were saying with
the angels fighting about first so
that's also no come rule okay I just
want to go into what he's going to say
when we said they're gonna be put into
your hand remember we were saying a
singular enemy is gonna put in your hand
so we're forced to say it's like there's
no out the conclusion the logical
conclusion should be what we have in the
oral torah is that you have to explain
this as the HR ah in other words when
you're talking about external war
because that verse we said was plural
are you live eka is plural so it's
talking about your external enemy and
then we said and he will be put in your
hand that's talking about your internal
enemy but what he wants to say is going
to be gonna be like this as we said when
you go out to war against your enemies
that's that's many so what we do know
from that verse when it says when you go
out to war against your enemies that
included in this enemies is at least two
types of enemies one is external and one
is internal and we already said that
when you go to war it's a time of we're
gonna say then has a chance to really
prosecute you in a time of danger and
there's a proof to this he wants us just
to look back I'm not sure it's a really
good proof now but when we saw we were
already in partial joking was 20 verse 1
Deuteronomy 20 verse 1 we saw when you
go out to the war upon your enemy
we saw that it was singular loser over
there that was for sure talking about
only one enemy which was the external
enemy and that's double Yoda signifies
the internal one as well so over here
when you have two enemies this certainly
and you admit you have to admit you have
to you know come to this conclusion that
there's more than one enemy and he just
wants to drill this home that again it
includes two types of enemies the
internal in the external and when it
says and he will deliver him into your
hand
what it's saying is that one of the two
will be delivered first because we know
that in the end we're going to overcome
the external enemy as well but at the
moment only one and which one is that
which one needs to be conquered first in
order to do that I should say that need
to learn which one need exactly you need
to win the internal you need to be
victorious over the internal enemy and
as a result natural result miraculous
result I don't know how you want to say
it but as a consequence okay over the
internal nature you will win all the
external battles I love it this is such
a Gary this is very Kabbalistic as well
and powerful for us to understand
because then in every internal battle
you're gonna realize the importance for
overcoming because everything else is a
byproduct of this internal battle that
each one of us individually go through
it's a beautiful message we say in
Judaism that it's the Zohar says this
world is a world of illusion it's a
world of lies let's rethink this is the
real world but the real world is the
spiritual world that's right that's the
only thing that really exists and
everything else is an illusion we're
creating the image of God the image it's
in Hebrew sell em it says in Hebrew
you're in the cellar Melo o came selling
as a shadow it's not the real thing
shadow I have a shadow it's like a
little bit of a
you know I'm yeah us does it's like just
imagine that we see which is clumped
energy it's only 3% most likely really
what we're dealing with so we have to
recognize and see with spiritual eyes
that which is beyond people think that
it's all about the physical but this is
just a minut small percentage of what is
real anything so I'm gonna read his
words again that one of them needs to be
put you need to overcome one of them
first one of them will come to your hand
and who is this is the hrrahh right if
the HR was not put into your hand
there's no ability to overcome the extra
externally won't happen now he's gonna
go into some real poops for that which
is really interesting because we're
talking about going out from a city he's
gonna talk about having peace in the
city the city is like the inter inside
going out to work so you need to have
peace in the city we're gonna see it
soon because it talks about not having
any you have to guard against anything
evil and that's talking about lush and
Jara things that you do against your
neighbor you know people speak a lot of
you know gossip that's damaging they
don't realize that the tongue could be
like a sword or like a bullet you can
kill people you can really create a lot
of damage about you people can create a
lot of data that's right
by saying opening the mouth so one of
the main things we're gonna I mean this
is anybody who went to West Point or
that's the name of the Military College
you cannot have the the fighters the
combat men fighting with each other has
to be a certain trust so we're going to
talk about that shortly this is really
interesting it's a metaphor for all
types of good stuff
so what happens is so what happens is
that if you don't work on yourself you
never overcame your enemy internal enemy
which is your HR Hara
so in other words if you if your EHR was
not given into your hand you never
overcame it you cannot really conquer
the extra
battle battle why the whole time that
your head your sin is still causing this
dirt it's still within you and is
messing you up that's why we have to
explain the whole idea as upon your
enemy as against your enemy why because
this this war is with your Yasuhara
which is not coming from above remember
Montgomery Ward
this is a very important point maybe
this is also what separates Jews and
Christians we need to be the initiators
when it comes to our faith when it comes
to our actions Hashem will finish the
job
after we need to take the initiative and
a Shem comes and he assists us okay so
when we played our agent IRA the war
does not start from above but it we are
then it starts from below and Hashem
finishes the job for us when it comes to
a regular war the war starts from above
and we finish it off that's why we were
talking about going to battle you're
just going to watch you're not even
you're gonna obey basically watch it
play out I mean it's a very important
point
I'll just read his words because it's so
beautiful
as we said in the Madras that in the end
Hashem will deliver him into your hand
at the end at the end meaning only after
all the actions and deeds that you do
regarding being victorious and and
dealing with the scheme against your
yeats Hara Hashem will send you the help
in the end he will finish the job for
you but that's all in the spiritual war
you start and a shell Mama's carries you
it
she loves you I'm sure you've heard the
statement about this guy who complains
to God where were you my whole life all
the troubling times I ever had I didn't
see you I mean I write slow there was
always two prints to set of footprints
in the sand but all the hardest times I
only saw one where were you and what
does he was God say I was sorry so but
you have to initiate it it's got to come
from you you gotta want it you gotta
want the relationship God already wants
it but he wants you to want it you want
it and he'll carry you on and he'll help
you now but a regular war that kind of
work it's the whole opposite everything
is the opposite what happens that before
you prepare yourself in your heart to go
out to war it's already been fought in
heaven you just come to finish it off
and then ready oh my god it's like
unbelievable this was written 400 years
ago before the State of Israel was you
know obviously established reestablished
he's talking about the oil tradition
it's like prophecy he says you God
fights the war or the worst for who's
the commentator was it with the clear
car he's the thief job tomorrow
it's very important I just read his
words again the moral oh yeah that's
what I want to say all the 70 nations
have ministering angels Israel does not
have a ministering angel I mean it's an
argument McHale but we're basically
under the compression from all our
teachings we do not have a ministering
angel we have God direct beautiful day
all the nations have a ministering angel
we have been me cod Iraq Israel but it's
not but it's gay so there that's the
opinion but
it's over all set it done we go directly
to God we don't need to go through any
missing angels that that battle hasn't
already been fought by God and you're
just coming out to the battlefield to
finish it up but I want to read the next
four words in Hebrew and you it's like
you got to be sitting down for this
kadai Shekar al-shibh eka
in order for the battle be called in
your name it's like when we think of all
it's called the Six Day War it's called
the Yom Kippur War everyone knows
there's Jews they fought they fought
that war the victor gets the name right
the name goat of the war goes to the
victor okay the independence were for
America its independence that they want
so its independence otherwise who knows
what it would be called right a target
point under stay so this was the idea
that a sham will fight your battles
first upstairs you later on after it's
already been term who's gonna win you
have to play it out people have to die
whatever you know but the victor the
name will be in the name of the victor
which is you you will win that work
because that was the guarantee but
Garrard wants you to be involved on the
latter stage again going back to the in
da Sahara in the inner battle you're
involved in the beginning the awakening
and then a Shem continues to carry you
on in that relationship higher and
higher where is the war external war
it's all fought in heaven and then you
will just at the end carry it out and of
course you'll be victorious and the name
of the verb will be in your name and
that beautiful it is never thought of it
like that
[Laughter]
okay now we're getting into the idea
when it says keep Tate say when you go
out to war what does that mean you know
in Israel an exit sign says you'd see ah
it's to go out to exit you'd see I
you're you're moving forth out from
somewhere so he he claims that what I
would have said if I was God right I'm
gonna write the Torah I would have said
when you go as in walking keeps a lake
when you you know mobile yourselves to
war
Oh keep till I can when you actually
fight you actually battle so what does
it mean live no come on to battle not
too bad I really miss the war when you
go to the war isn't a fight isn't true
when you go to fight it just says yeah
sure it's just when you go out to war
and you have to use your imagination a
little bit cuz he wants you to think
you go to war aren't you going to fight
you're going to war you knuckle into
fight he says basically all you do is
coming to see you're just arriving on
the scene to to be an observer if you
say you're going to war it doesn't mean
that you're you're actually involved in
in as a as a combatant but you're only
coming to see it and now we understand
what says I'll leave that in coming upon
your enemy shouldn't have said against
you go against your enemy you don't come
upon them to see them then it says to
capture its captive but it's like a
double language it's really weird like
you will capture its captive so he's he
wants plan it's a double language so
he's not gonna answer yet but he's
building the question now has all did
the rabbi's taught us
chubbie is that right were there Shiv yo
Shiv yo the show in the second well we
have just look Shin Bet you'd vote but
it's not above it's a it's a valid the
routine bait yo Chevy Chevy means
captivity correct yeah okay so you will
capture its captive at its captivity so
what is it coming to teach us it's
actually come talk to us about a certain
Halawa that the canid Kanani that are
outside the land that one a converter
accepted in other words it's a whole
nother lesson we're not going to go into
right now but that's what it's basically
coming to to teach us now let's get back
into the nitty-gritty who says this is a
perfect place for me to tell you there's
two aspects there's two ideas that I
want to get across to you that the verse
is talking about hey Malcolm I see the
fire a Jewish neighbor he once explained
it in two very different ways the way
the ROM Vaughn explains in this parsha
as it said if you now look at 23 verse
10 it's very important 23 verse 10 that
would be verse led source number five
okay you got it I want you to read it
okay 23 verse 10 when a camp goes out
against your enemies you shall be aware
of everything evil that's a really good
one how easy it is to read over these
kind of verses but unless you're
thinking with that context of both
enemies
you miss it now look everything both
internally and externally - really
yeah in 2310 if you just say go back
let's say if you read it if you're
looking at the bullet the hummus you're
looking at Michaelmas yeah it's I don't
I wouldn't say the more the worse before
maybe the verses after because it is a
little bit of a new paragraph so if
there will be among you a man who will
not be pure because of not terrible its
occurrence we're talking about an
ejaculation not during intercourse
I should go outside the camp II shall
not enter the midst of the camp so
you're talking about a something that
can cause impurity these goes to the
mikveh right another very important
lesson when you go to war you must have
a shovel it's very nice to have a gun
it's very nice to have a uniform and a
helmet lean so you don't go and make
your latrine inside the camp so you may
think that when we just said in our
verse 10 when the camp goes out against
your enemies you should guard against
anything evil that is talking about the
next few verses such as the nocturnal
emission or the the bathroom but it does
talk them you know it says your camp
shall be holy
I think this verse 15 you should not see
anything any you should not see among
you a shameful thing and turn away from
behind you okay but we're gonna
interpret this verse when I say we
interpret I'm talking about from the old
tradition it's not me you that this is
talking about what I said before about
evil speech it's actually telling us not
to have evil speech according to ROM
bond he says the word devar ah devar ah
means evil thing
right he translated as anything evil a
devar is a thing
rise evil but it devoured the same
letters Dollard bethe race is the same
word for de Bourgh rah
evil speech the vara or deborah you
should be careful against any evil
speech because that is remember I
mentioned the viewer in the military
school I mean that's the last thing you
need is to start fighting with your
fellow combatants on your side and it
says he's gonna tell us the damage that
that can cause is worse than what your
enemy can do to you
yes and so true our words if I didn't
make you if I didn't make you a believe
you're already a believer but if I
didn't make you a believer after this
anybody would anybody would say there's
so much wisdom there's so much here this
is a book that goes back 3,000 you know
almost foreign 3,500 years ago and they
knew the such day whoever wrote it you
know died they think people wrote it
they were pretty wise people this is
really full wisdom it is and it's
applicable today just as much as ever
because these are eternal principles
that were speaking out so you and I
believe they're eternal principles right
eternal right nothing changes this is
like it's exactly the way the world in
walk straight from the eternal one
blessed be he it is a joy to plummet his
depths when we're plummeting Torah
we're plummeting his debts and he
understands as the Creator all the cause
and effect of living in harmony are out
of harmony with the physical laws of the
universe that he's created so why
wouldn't we want to go to the source and
meditate upon these beautiful wonders so
listen to his words are so beautiful he
says deep will rod this whole verse is
talking about gardening against speech
that's evil which is we call Russian
Hara conditioner yeah bein a amok locust
so there won't be any internal fighting
the
gube a mammal were these hitting's and
strikings amongst them such as a Makarov
Oh matters are every Salah write Z devar
bar or this is something that is so
clear because she ain't Shalom Bain home
when you don't have peace amongst the
Warriors on the same team array Haman
Newt sock team they are what they are
it's the opposite of victorious they
lose commotion eat say yes or AB by
Cheney just like would happen with the
arrogant elite during the Second Temple
okay this is something that we we're so
honest about you know probably because
we were the right we you know we're the
Pharisees were right and the Sadducees
were wrong
the Sadducees were power they were the
elites they were buying up the
priesthood
they you know they were the Helenus they
were living a horrible lifestyle and
this is what caused the the destruction
of the second temple was the internal
fighting they they were anti-semites
they were their Jukes there are Jews
that are anti-semites you know today
usually it is that greed factor the
Sadducees have the same issue they're
willing to compromise truth to align
themselves with the powers to be at that
time which for the Romans before that
the Greeks to hold on to their wealth
and their elite status they loved their
status when the Pharisees when the
Pharisees were in control of the temple
process the average Cohen God all lived
about forty years as soon as the
Sadducees took over the average lifespan
for a calling god--all was one year and
you know why because when he went into
the Holy of Holies you know they put a
Roper
uh-huh I had to drag him out because he
died and then this one paid paid money
just to be the next Cohan girl the
corrupt system of the Sadducees were to
pay pay to play right I heard that
before
we have any accounts in history that
there was actually any one that died in
the Kaddish for the shame
yeah the gomorrah goes into detail what
i just told you the gomorrah tells us
that during the Feres cynical let's say
when they were in in control of the
temple process they were righteous high
priests the average age was 40 years old
the 40s are they served for 40 years and
you know they started they were 60 they
died in a good old age of a hundred or
whatever here you're talking about
during the sister Sadducees the average
role played out by a high priest was one
year and we all know why wasn't they
were in their 90's when they started the
role they were young they were corrupt
and they paid money to die can you
imagine I mean that is insane yeah they
saw every sad you see Congo dough in
their lifetime die on Yom Kippur
in the Holy of Holies right bill kidding
me you want status of the top but you
know what's gonna happen yet you think
your demise is gonna be different than
the one previous to you know say so now
when we say the word Keith Tate sake he
takes a means when you go out the
language of yet see our of exiting so
this comes to exclude what the internal
battle that takes place within a city
everybody is like a small city it's in
Karbala every human every Jew is like a
small city meaning it's specifically
when you go out of your city what do you
do when you out of you you go external
to fight your it's called hand-to-hand
combat your fighting right your hands
are spread out okay
but I'm just by my place but within the
city ready for this
your hand should not be spread out when
you're inside the city and I want to
show you something
the word for yad is your dollar your
dollars go mafia 14 good is ten for a
doubt as for how many knuckles do you
have on your hand 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14
now what happens when you have a
handshake you have 14 and 14 meaning you
have 28 28 is tough pet [ __ ] ability
power when you have shalom that's rain
and cooler out so this is a they should
teach this in the Jewish army any army
when they have infighting it's a
disaster would they have camaraderie
amongst the the fighters you know the
combatants meaning the the same team you
have a chance to be victorious so the
infighting is our worst enemy it's worse
than administration so then he says
remember it said live milk on your going
to the work look in the Hebrew again or
the English would lay down here it says
when you go out to war to war lick lick
the llama it means to ma'am you're going
from war me milk humma
Oh limb nahama so we see it says you're
going to war that you're going out not
from the world so specifically it's upon
your enemy that you're going out stir oh
it's upon your lover
who's your friend it's not meaning
you're going out against your enemy
don't start up with your own people
don't fight the people you love only
fight your enemy and then he says about
this Savita Shiv yo again we said it's
captured it's captive of the enemy that
you shouldn't seek you shouldn't secret
desire to trap your friend in your own
traps that is a part of the disaster he
called a lewd de varela Zi Kingdom aha
all those things damaged in the war you
aren't like it's like you're you're
cursing yourself you know you're you're
causing your own team to lose when you
have that bitter in fighting team cult
Ayla I set all this you must do then
Hashem will place your enemy in your
hand of our loans rule upset but not
anything but this this is it this is how
you win the world it's wonderful
that's the first of two ways he's gonna
explain so far so good now the other way
- he wants to explain it is that you're
actually coming to negate what the Yates
ro wants which entices you by saying
this is what the hrrahh says hello
Shibuya is there bartoli Rd all you die
I'll you take okay boat some yogi
now the HR wants you to believe that
it's you you have the power
it's cuz of your good looks it's cuz
your your your mighty muscles it's
because of your brains that you came up
with you know a new method of war or a
new weapon right it's you I don't know
if you know with the devika you heard of
the devika this is a square Jerusalem
the because square this cannon was the
worst cannon you can ever have but
they didn't realize it they took it to
battles you know and it made such a loud
noise but it was a dud not been toys
scared the hell out of the enemy this is
how we won the war this is this is the
secret barking so I think I I quoted a
verse if you look in Deuteronomy 817 but
you also have to look everything we tell
you you have to look in context and you
will say to yourself this is always
talking about the separation and the
relationship this relationship we have
with God
this isn't Deuteronomy 817 it's going to
come through humility not arrogance but
if you think for a second
it's 817 and you will say to yourself my
strength and the might of my hand has
accumulated this well for me but late
well I get a running start alright
number 6 verse 6 says I'm in the right
place
it's Deuteronomy 817 sign this is
interesting right because this is right
after the the look at 14 no look at 13
look at verse 11 take care lest you
forget God right this is a beginning of
a paragraph
don't forget God make sure you don't
forget God by observing his Commandments
as ordinance and statutes I mean what
better way of remembering that you're a
servant of God than by serving him that
you have a relationship with God he's
your Abba right then do what he said to
do
lest you eat be satisfied you build all
these beautiful homes you settle you
have all these this riches your cattle
your flocks increase and the silver and
the gold watch out and everything will
have increased your heart will become
what 14
I'll become hearty you can forget God it
took you out of the land of Egypt who
leads you through the great and awesome
wilderness snake fiery serpent scorpion
there was no water who brings forth what
God brought you food and water 16 he fed
you the manna right and then on 17 right
everything he did for you is to write in
order to inflict you in order to test
you to do good for you in your end and
what might you say in your heart my
strength in my mind and of my hand made
all this wealth and what can help
prevent this erroneous thinking that it
was our strength in our might the bear
chromosome what right what is knowledge
and yeah cuz that's in verse 10 when you
have eaten in our pool give thanks to
the Lord for the good land which he has
given you it's not something you've
acquired for yourself and so just the
simple acknowledgement in gratitude and
thanks can help prevent the yetzer hara
to believe that it's our own strength in
our own hand so this idea i want to
finish off we all have the 15 minutes
that again the second way of approach is
that this whole scheme the whole scheme
of this matter that we discussed is in
order to nullify the the dot then the
the opinion the hrrr has over you which
in time that again
the second way of approach is that this
whole scheme the whole scheme of this
matter that we discussed is in order to
nullify the the dot then the the opinion
the hrrr has over you which entices you
because you're gonna say this is what
you're gonna say to build up your gate
Sahara wasn't it wasn't it wasn't able
to capture this woman because of my own
abilities and strength right first of
all I entered into a very difficult
situation of no come on you know I was
victorious so of course I'm gonna take
I'm gonna take credits and so
Hashem places all these conditions on us
Yuto Hashem a lie : Taniya malulu me D
Luwak lumen evil he places all these
conditions such as shaving her head
letting her her grout nails grow long
alkyne hickton la loma that's why
basically there's this introduction so
that the EHR can't come up and say this
cuz shaker auto-aim
you can come back to the HR and say
you're a liar remember this whole world
is a lie kylo [ __ ] but it's not from
your strength Rocca at rock at the
Shahar ishka a shed Oh Tati rush it's
you know it's how did you end up taking
possession of this land Hashem gave it
to you then I tell of him you're not a
warrior
you're not the were all you did was went
to watch the battle the battle was
fought in heaven already rock I keep
Tate save me bay tackle all you did was
walked out of your house to see the war
which was already preceded in Heaven's
by the cocoa bean by the Stars and they
will call the ministering angels
whatever it was
Shem already preceded that by giving by
giving you the victory remember how did
that happen because of the internal
battle that you fought that's why it's
all metaphor and that's why it says limb
no come on to the battle to the war to
that war that you started that you took
the initiative I'll leave that hard the
word ow is upon meaning mama shit's
coming down from heaven the the war was
fought in heaven you didn't fight it you
just played it out after it's already
won and you it was low mean egged
thought it was not you didn't it was not
against you it was from above Hashem
already sent what we called the arrows
that spread out this is what really
happened
Hashem caused the bullet to reach its
destination and when you says when it
says you shall capture its cat
this was alpha kaddish Borakove got
himself you garnish bot all your day I'm
will come on because with God captured
its you captured its captive
we're told my god God previously right
in the word that took place in heaven
before he captured the captain you
that's point here you captured a captive
who's already a captive it's a couple
language we say about a convert
it's a garish with guy air because this
is already Jewish and it wants to be in
real life Jewish so it has to go through
a procedure here you're capturing its
captive that captive is already captive
because God brought the war ahead and
all the bullets that were supposed to
hit where they're supposed to hit the
great and whoever supposed to be captive
is captivated because that's what a Shem
wants to do with you to make you
glorious in the holy land in the link in
the whole world sorry
not just in Israel man he work a sham I
think we crazy nut yes we have you back
and we're back recording I just had you
posit Emperor Li and we didn't want to
leave without making Ella giving you the
chance to make your closing statements
yeah because that's it was an amazing
closing statement and my battery is so
dead that it won't even like it just
needs to okay this is the point because
this is amazing we're saying what is the
antidote against the Yates IRA taking
credit remember the whole idea was that
this is going to nullify your Yates
honor ah from thinking that it's all you
and that's why it says again upon your
enemy that is really from Hashem above
and he already spread out all the arrows
in there
the spears are spreading out and it was
his captive that he or the cap debated
for you because what hashem really
desires is that you the name of you
Israel should be glorified through the
whole world that the name of the the
name of the wars are going to be called
upon your name and that's why it says he
delivered Hashem delivered Hashem your
God delivered him into your hand it's a
sham putting him into your hand because
it'll appear to the whole world as if it
was your hand that actually did it and
destroyed them but the real truth is not
like that at all that it was
Hashem did it for you because of your
glory he wanted to give it to you and he
put it into your hand but that's
literally what the word says and he
write God
now Shem your God placed him into your
hand the pussing says the verse says
it's God and therefore let the [ __ ] let
the world think that you are superior
but it's only it's all for the sake of
the glory of God he himself wants to
glorify you Israel you need to recognize
that it's from him it's so beautiful
that he's made us active participants
with him and our only job is to overcome
this little enemy inside of us
this gets her hurrah but he's the one
who's already victorious in the heavens
and he's the one who has claimed the
battle on our behalf and so we give him
all the glory because our part is so
small we just have to overcome this
false ego this self that is an
opposition to his selfless character of
life it's beautiful beautiful I had more
but I have to run and I'll be able to
continue but so just send me the link
and thank you so much for spending this
time with us this morning you're always
a blessing my brother and it's always a
joy to plummet the beautiful depths of a
shims word together yeah and you you

kick that you were the extra point I

beyond you know I don't want to just
look at the surface by shot I want to
look at the Ramez and the trash and the
soda and get deeper and deeper so you

the surface that's right it goes o'er
