uh we're going to learn the mymer
liquidity torah anila deity and we're
using this uh
as a text uh uh if you have that it
would be wonderful if you could use it
if not just get a lakota torah
and in the section that's under davorin
page lamid base
32 but i want to give an introduction to
the mimer this is the
um the famous mimer of the altareba
known as anila deity and the lakota
okay the thing is that the
um the mimer of the toyota is an
important one
because it sets the the agenda
for for the month of ello
what do i mean so i'm going to say it
orally
and and ask you when on your own to read
a page of through the top of page
zion the sikha this is a very very good
secret to read it inside and to explain
it will just take
a long time and therefore i'm just going
to
repeat briefly what it says there but on
your own i encourage you to read it
line by line and basically
let me begin with uh with with a saying
in brisk you've heard of brisk grab high
and brisker
velvela prisca
they call them the brisket of brisk they
would say
that during the month of ello
even the fish and the pond tremble
that was the saying of the brisker
right that the fear that they say
rosh hashanah yom kippur is coming you
have to be
scared you have to tremble
and the the fear is so much
that even the fish the fish
are impacted in liquidity
which is a collection of the previously
rebels
for brendan's he says there
that in lubavitch one can tell
a difference in the air as hell was
approaching
edinburgh dish
so in in lakota de buren he doesn't say
that the fish are trembling he says you
can feel
different in the air that ever once
explained this
and i'm going to leave that maybe for
another time what what the symbolism of
the air the the atmosphere the
environment
was different but for our purposes now
this is the point i'd like to share
based on this introduction
the alternative does something here
that's very very
unusual unconventional and very
different to the way
torah liturgy has
looked has looked at at the
at l one second
i'm learning now i can't i can't
so until until the alternate ever
[Music]
the the when l came people became
very scared now we're talking about
you know even the commoner or the simple
person on the street because most people
were not alberta
learning yeshivas okay let's let's let's
remember what we're talking about
nevertheless
when elo came you know they they started
to think about yomadin
the day of judgment and they got very
scared
in the first chapter of this mimer anila
deity
he talks about revelation
he talks about um
ability to connect to something deeper
in yourself
and to experience something greater
within the weekday in other words the
altera
explores and finds
in the month of elul the greatest
way of connecting to hashem
which is more in the line of simcha
joy and love and that's a
a very different approach than
the attitude to going to to ello
as the fear uh that we
that we that will we should have because
of
the madin and i want i want to make it
very clear so we don't make any mistakes
and people listen to this shirum they
should also understand this
the alternate doesn't say you don't have
to have fear
that's not what he says he's saying that
the way to articulate
your fear your era
is through knowing who you are and if
you want the experience of fear
for god to be truthful you need to know
who you are
you see and only after knowing who you
are
who you are spiritually and who and what
and what's what's going on with your
soul
then your your your concern
about your transgressions and the day of
judgment is real
otherwise it's not real
it's imaginary or fantasy
and lots of people live with fantasies
and imagine imaginations
and wannabe and this is the whole
approach of the altered man
and this answers another question why
does
hasidis delve into the spiritual
mystical concepts
that seem to be so far from reality of
of of the of regular man and the answer
is because when you explore yourself
and you explore your neshama yourself
meaning your soul your neshama
then your whole attitude
towards life towards toyota towards
family towards community
is a very different one and then and
then
the the feelings of judgment and fear
are real otherwise they're like dalton
says in in at the end of chapter three
of tanya
you know it's a dunyan you know you know
so this this now now again
i'm not saying that the the brisker
attitude of ello that the fish are
trembling in the water
even that's how fearful we have to be on
ello is not a mahalis it's not an
approach it is an approach it's it's
it's it's it's that approach that that
they and and others chose to to take and
color covert you know it's it's tighter
and it's holy i'm not claustrosine
but at the same time dalton
and that's why we learned this on nila
deity and we share it with everyone
is that we begin with knowing who you
are and guess what
every single year is special
there's no such a thing that he eat is
not special even a yid who's a sinner
and a transgressor is special why
because he has on the shrama
but you say has lots of dirt
okay so find your the shrum and the
rabbit talks about that later
in chapter um in chapter three will be
search over there yes there is a time
when we're not just
in a in a city and we're not in a field
we're in a desert
in a mid bar and it's arua he quotes the
verse
and the literal meaning is a land it's
earth that doesn't give
plantation right mush it's it's it's the
desert
dalton has a different cretch a
different emphasis on eretz lazarus
not only does it not give vegetation
it's against visitation
and it's loyal you know what's planted
in a desert zarua
light negativity
so it's not only that i didn't yet get a
chance to learn
i know what learning is and i know what
the happening is and i'm against it
that's that's much worse says the altar
ebba
even there will be some you have to go
there and find your neshama there and
we'll talk about that later
so what do we see we see clearly the
altareb is not
you know pretending that he doesn't know
that
we have our issues of course he knows
but he says the healthy way is to know
yourself
and as we discussed so many times that
if this is our approach we'll have more
success in all relationships and every
relationship with our kids and grandkids
and rabbis and employers and friends
because you look at the
summer so this is just a brief
introduction
to the mimer on illidarity now let's
learn the mimer inside
the video it says the song of songs
of kings
i am to my beloved videos
and my beloved is to me you all know
that the
shira shirim was written like a love
story a love
of like a like um a poem of love love
who is the the deity it really refers to
god almighty he is our beloved the
jewish people's beloved
so the schwein says there is an
experience called ani the jew
who begins their relationship to the
beloved one to god and the reciprocal
reflect is
and my beloved is to me mind you there
is another verse in
in in which begins
my beloved is to me and i am to him
so it's explained when it so which is it
make up your mind velvet which is an
either deity or deity
the answer is it's two different time
periods
during nissan when god took us out of
mitzrayim
we were sunk immersed in 40 sharitouma
join us and who began the the the
process
of healing hashem boom
zap i don't care how dirty and how bad
you are and what juice you're into
i'm taking you out of there i'm taking
you out
nicola in the classical jewish term
neglect
god revealed himself and he redeemed us
so did we earn it no did we work for it
no
on the contrary we were messed up and
god said i want to do a nice thing for
you guys
and he zaps us out and he sends us out
and out you go
so what's that experience that begins
with deity
the beloved hashem begins
the process that's the month of nisan
now we're coming upon the month of
tishrei
what is the process of the month of
tishrei anila
d you have to begin the relationship
but when is that is that tishrei
and elo because this mimer is
russia davis right look at the next
words russia tavis ello
in other words aleph lamid
lamit the first four letters of those
four hebrew words the acronym is
russia davis ello so it's not tishrei
and in classical jewish thought nissan
is deity lee and tishrei is anila deity
but dalton ever doesn't say that that
ebba says here russia davis elul
so right here we need to explore and we
need to understand
in other words what we're saying is that
that tishrei
which begins with our avodah
literally dabbing and asking for a good
year on rosh hashanah and the seal
being annum keeper begins a month
earlier
by the way does anyone know what the
word elo means
did you ever ask yourself that question
well i didn't ask myself the question
for 60 years but this year
hashem gave me
the question what does the word elo mean
now you know that the names of the
months
of our hebrew months began in buzzer
when we were sent out when we said we
when we were chased out and exiled from
eric's israel into bubble that's when
the name of the months
became the name of the month
so the word elo and there's one
place in tanakh i forget now where i
looked it up but i forget now
and evil means
to search so
the month of ello means to search
however i believe that the name of
months
some of them were given if you can
believe this
associated with some say that was
associated with
avodah zarah and we took the avodah zara
name
and we transformed it like the name
thomas
i believe the word thomas the name
thomas was the name of an avodah zarah
and the jewish people who were you know
forced uh and and pressured by
the babylonians took that very same name
and used it for a devastation
for a holy item we find this concept
in in judaism for example
in the 1600s you know the late 1600s or
so
going to the 1700s the
the polish the polish
government they forced the jews to wear
tails just like you know the the nazis
imagine
forced us to wear yellow stars
so a way of identifying jews
in in a disgraceful way was through
tales tales
of of you know animal animal hides
so what did we do we made a strimal out
of it
and they started to wear what's called
today the stream of the fur hat
right that's one of the explanations so
we find
that when we were forced and oppressed
we took the negativity and we turned it
into something holy
and so too it's with the names of the
monks but the word
evil means to search so we know that
russia is about searching
and it begins with us searching so
therefore
that's in line with what it says
that the activity avodah of tishrei
is begins with man with us
not with god anila deity so that's the
altar
explanation not only is rosh hashanah no
keeper about
our asking hashem and davening and we
begin the process
to get a good year from god we ask him
to respond with a good year for us
but it begins a month earlier
the indian what is the concept
arrow begins the experience
prince literally means the level but now
for our purposes we'll call the
experience
of i am to my beloved
this means
the experience called the arousal
of below is aramaic
for his root dilemmata
the awakening the arousal of
below meaning we generate
the relationship we look into ourselves
we see what needs improvement
and in simple classical jewish terms we
make
a husband we make an accounting a
reckoning
what did i do in the month of
the other last year on the third day
does anyone remember that
i don't but that's what we have to do
you have to start thinking about so yoni
you may be your member on this and this
day your father wasn't feeling well and
you think about that day
that's what we mean so you need to think
what happened this day what happened
this month what happened this week
what did i do how did i behave that's
the aveda
of this year of this month and you all
know
that a good businessman if he doesn't
make
uh a husband a reckoning of his
stock at the end you get a balagam
as we say in hebrew right you get a
mishmash
you don't know if you're coming or
you're going you don't know where your
head is and where your tail is
but i made so much money yeah well how
much did you make maybe you're spending
more and maybe you gave out too much
or i made too little how am i going to
make more all of that
is through a husband and the same is
true available in your field in every
field everyone has to look
at themselves and what they did that's
the avoider of vanilla deity
this is the month we have 30 days today
is the first of the month
continue back in the text ah
which we call the awakening the arousal
from below
it goes to reshashana of the yom
kippurim ikepurim
kippur shaheen
they are days in which god
godliness is drawn is given
to the to us the mata below the british
not just given but in a revealed way
so here you have to stop and ask
yourself a question wait a minute
didn't we just say that rosh hashanah
kipper
is also part of our neely dodi
the altar says here that elo
is is is the is the activity that begins
with
us from below towards god and then he
says now
rosh hashanah and yom kippur is the
activity of god bestowing
his godliness to us below
in a revealed way so make up your mind
out the rebel which one is it
before i go further do you do you follow
the question if not i got to repeat it
moshe
hello do we have people listening or
understanding which one
do you mind to repeat the question i'd
appreciate it okay
please the altareba says in the text
that that on the the month of ello
is anila deity we begin the relationship
we we look into ourselves we make the
henchmen and all that right
and he says and rashad yom kippur is
when god
draws gives his god he responds with his
godly revelation to us
now isn't that isn't that also so isn't
that
not we beginning the relationship but
god beginning to
reciprocating and giving us the rel
giving us light
right before i told you that the
difference between
nissan and tishrei is nissa begins with
god take
right he took us out and tishrei is weed
out into hashem begins with us
but it doesn't seem to say that right
here here it says in this moment right
here
that rosh hashanah yom kippur that the
el is anila deity we begin the
relationship and
keeper already god's response
so the answer is simple when we compare
elo to when we compare i'm sorry rosh
hashanah to listen
it's true this goes back to something
that i taught you many times and
repeated again
that in siddhis when you learn qasidis
you have to always remember
the rule of relativity einstein's rule
of relativity
in hebrew it's indian yakasi
it depends it depends
what it depends right relative it
depends it depends in what
it depends on what kind of right it
depends on what context
so when there's a there's a discussion
between rosh hashanah
between tishrei and this and what i said
earlier is true
here we're not talking about listen here
we're talking about
the the one verse and we're talking
about
elo compared to rosh hashanah and yom
kippur
so therefore it's true that if you look
at
this context and this scenario
hello is i begin the process we begin
the process
and tishrei excuse me uh
is god's reciprocation and response
to our our calling to him
that's the answer to the question and
what does he say
happens tishrei this is very interesting
dalton says that during that time
hashem is his goggles
what does he mean what you know when you
see these words
in a mimer especially with the altareba
it's not just you know to fill the page
you need
to put in more words when you see
paprinas is galos you have to stop right
there what does that mean
in a level of revelation in other words
ask yourself the following what would
godliness
be like if it wasn't revealed and what
is godliness like when it is revealed
and i think right it's pretty clear
something you go into a room we're all
sitting now in a room that's that's
sunny and bright and lit up can we sit
in the room without light absolutely
can we hear the sheer without light yes
but when you sit in a room with lying
especially good light it's a whole
different experience
i was told that balor khasid and nabarro
park
you know they made they they made shoes
in different blocks
the the main base madrid and then
there's like block
your shoes on the block so they would
ask them
i'm sorry 11 43
46 right no about just above the 48th
if this is before the split of the two
brothers the story i'm telling you they
asked rabbi halberstam at that
time there was only one brother
for all of his life god hashem
so they asked him
what would make our show successful so
he said two things
lots of light very bright in the bass
medrash
and lots of swirling the sparring will
draw people there who
are you know they can they have all this
from they need to learn and to research
and light it should be bright then we
have a hydra
remember what
which means he loved lift light
i used to come home in the morning from
shore to before the sheer
sometimes my wife is darkening and it's
a little dark and i say the machamp
like light and i open all the curtains
and all the lights
light light his gauss
his guns lit up when you go into a place
that's lit up and it
has good lighting and that's a skill and
it's specialty to have good lighting
right it makes the experience very
different
dr ebba says here that the way
hashem responds to our
twilos when we invest in a hesmen
is not just giving us godliness moisture
but penises
god reveals that experience to us
and that's a very different experience
level
than just saying god is here no no no no
no
in other words this is this is the issue
that what if we invest
hard this month in making a husband
not only will we get payback that will
be blessed on rosh hashanah
with a good year etc etc but it's going
to be revealed
right it'll be clear you'll see it
that's what he says and that's why he
adds the words between us
his goddess commission
yes hilo just want to add
that neuroscientists today say that
really the brain wakes up according to
light
and that one of the way to sort of
stimulate
optimal brain functioning is to
sort of gradually introduce yourself to
light particularly through
walking first thing in the morning
really
that that that sort of uh that sort of
is is
central to activating the brain in a in
a healthy way
so thank you
and walking first thing in the morning
very interesting well we should walk to
school i guess
anyway so
and then although that says commission
i just want to i just want to say with
that you know my morning routine
is often i get up to uh and learn
as the sun's rising over the hills here
and this morning for the very first time
my teenage son
was there when i got here this morning
we watched the sunrise together so
okay if you get this vibe around this
day
and and you know just since you
mentioned that
i remember as a boy and it it left you
know such a wonderful
uh impression my father up
early you know shabbos morning in
particular
every day was up early because he had to
go to work early
but shabbos morning he was already when
i got up i would hear him learning
sitting at the table learning
out loud yiddish and hebrew and
and and it i just have fond memories of
that
so when we as fathers you know
do that believe me and my girls my girls
remember
when i would do the same thing you know
as they were
children growing up so believe me it you
know these things
leave an impression and and and and make
a great impact okay
commercial castle
embraces me when is there the embrace
when does hashem embrace us sukis
we sit in the sukkah and we're
surrounded by a big
hug called the sukkah that's the
godly embrace so then it says
it's hashem's right side
that or right hand metaphorically
speaking
that embraces us us that's sukis and
simcastora
under my head also alluding to rosh
hashanah
the experience on rosh
is left what do you mean left kivura
it's a serious day it's a day of
judgment
but the al-qaeda brings this to tell us
that when we invest in elo
then we will feel hashem's
left acknowledging that we deserve
a good blessed year so
the bracha that will come to us on
rosh hashanah and yom kippur will
be will have the might of gevorah
in other words i just want to elaborate
well
if we if if prashanayam kippur you would
have
only god's right blessing you
then you would still you could argue but
wait a minute
the left might say you don't deserve it
or the left
doesn't agree but when you say smiley
takas lauraishi
god's left supports the head
that means even the leftists agree that
you should have a good rosh hashanah
so that's that a left
leftist agrees that you
deserve that we deserve a good rosh
hashanah let's continue
throughout the ten days from rosh
hashanah three of keeper
who prince milo that is the level
the experience of the left
which represents all fear
trepidation well if he shows
who's a man his goddess why are you
scared
like i've told you many times in the
normal days when a principal came into a
room
you rose and you were quiet you know
to mention my my rebbe my mespear of
your khan
when he would walk into the sheer
borough park there wasn't a pin drop
there wasn't a pin drop there was oh
there's a this is a a prominent
talmud and and you know of stature
you don't clap and you don't dance you
stand in the wall
and you rise you know a little bit more
whatever
the point is that since we're talking
about
smiling rosh hashanah yom kippur
are days of or they're not days of
simcha
by the way this doesn't mean you should
you walk around with your nose down
[Music]
it's not tish above
your keeper is not this above
tissue above we cry rashford and kipper
if we cry has to come from
inside something that irks you about
yourself and your neshama your soul
russia tisha b were crying for the
destruction of basa amigdas
it's a simple thing it's a it's it's
behavior related
but rosh hashanah your keeper is so
related
so what's the idea the idea is hey
it's a serious day just just think for a
moment
you're going to a judge your life is on
the line i i know i would be
shaking and trembling i mean if this is
not a joke
it's not a joke so but
and and he was saying that the life
meaning the soul life my spiritual life
you know where am i with my my
connection to hashem
so this is era this is all this is fear
ours and he says whose man
his gallows
because then is the time
the of god's revelation and therefore
since hashem
is as a king
that's why you know we all change from
hokkaido
and uh we've changed to hamelech
the holy king to the from the holy god
to the holy king
because the emphasis during the
assassination is
the king ha melech
and that's why in the darkening the
boutfield who's
designated to do chakras goes over he
walks from the back
kind of stan you know stay moving up to
the front
in the in the sense of this is a special
moment
and what are his first words hamlet
god is here the king wake up people
stand right
because your kingship
is the kingship of all worlds
okay i'm going to explain this tomorrow
a little better
so we'll stop over here i'm sorry i was
a little late because rosh hoda's
daughtering but we're making up any
questions
no i just want to say i'm really glad
we're doing this
yes thank you and okay from time to time
i'll look i'll i'll
try to read some of the comments and see
this movie eris but
you know if we do all that it's gonna
just take us so much longer so i'm
giving you
i'm i'm giving over this is great yes
you're honest
yes
so i think i think i think maybe you
should try to talk about
youtube because i need the dirty the dvd
is a revelation
we didn't get there yet we didn't even
wait
slow down we're going to get there
did you did you did
i'm not fat did you do you well you
we're learning and we didn't get there
yet why are you mentioning that
because i feel like i mentioned it
because i understood his mind was that
[Music]
of
[Music]
yes but we're not we're not at that
point in the mind where you're jumping
okay i'm not what you're saying is right
jay anderson but we're not there yet
there's there's a progression yes motion
so the question is yes just one question
so it's it's i really i really really
appreciate
and that that you brought out that the
donald trump says that in order to
really
do effective chuva don't bring begin the
whole process of what we're talking
about
you have to know who you are
so my question is how do we know who we
are
that's my question
in your case moshe ask your friends
they'll tell you i'm good
um hello i might take you up on that
okay
maisha marisha when i asked my master
military
shown that question he said ask
a real friend who will tell you the
truth about yourself
and don't ask someone who'll say oh
moshe you're the best
ah you're the godby you've done so much
for us you're defaulted you got gun
aiden
and but in all seriousness when a person
is themselves under their towers at a
quiet moment
and they're not rushing and they're able
to think about
themselves hashem their neshama believe
me
you can start making you can get in a
little bit
and you know the the trick is not to get
more of it
because i i when i start thinking about
my
shama i get very very vague did i mess
up here there
what a stain i have so it's a balance
there's a balance because dalton ever
brings out
first how special the shaman is you'll
see soon
he joins in started this talk about it
you gimmel
which is which is a key in the mind but
let's wait for that
till we get there so good question
hold your horses we'll get to it kevin
we'll see everyone tomorrow have a great
day
bye-bye bye-bye
[Music]
