it is today's
[Music]
you stand before me all together
we all know that this pasha is always
read before register
why um
in the word
that's in the verse it's alluded it
alludes to the kaya
it refers to the holy day of resha
today rosh hashanah you're all standing
before me
because this day of rejoicing is the
beginning of all action of all activity
of all work
it's a commemoration
to the first day
which day the day of register which
really is not the first day of the year
the first day is the 25th of ello
but man of the madison was created on
the on um
on the sixth day of creation therefore
it's called in the traitor yom richo
although it was not yom risha right it
was day number six
it's all sparks of all souls
um
they stand and they elevate the mcqueen
horizon to the first source to where
they come from
beyonce and this day
ad
hashem at the end of the verse it says
hashem before god
your heads shifted the heads of the
tribes
from the woodshoppers
to the fetchers of water
everyone there's a listing by the way if
you count of 10 different categories in
other words every every
mute yourself please every single type
of jew whether he's a wood shopper
whether he's a water fetcher whether
he's a rabbi whether he's a social
worker whatever he is
regardless
not what he is not what well yeah not
only what he does
whatever he is as far as his is his his
work and his involvement
nevertheless
nevertheless he stands before hashem
there's no one that can say
i don't stand before hashem
whether you like it or not today is
rajashana and you stand before hashem
all together united we'll talk about
that little later
the verse enumerates specifically essen
madrega is ten
so therefore the verse says
corresponding those ten faculties are
what are the ten different categories
the high no gimmel sirium the altered
divides hillel the ten cat the ten
faculty of the soul into two categories
three intellect intellectual ones
hoffman bina das and seven emotives
zion middles and seven emotions
so too all of his room and claim
we are all one people and one complete
nation
the clothes this masayan and all of the
jewish people
nikra are called classes israel the
congregation of israel
which have been divided as they come
into the world into 10 levels
on the next page
page mem 40
missal
all the different levels are elevated
even to the lowest
levels of
which are represented by the wood
choppers and the water carriers
which represent the lowest levels they
all calmly before hashem they're all
elevated
because they are they re-ascend
to their source
so what's the concept here
what's the concept the concept is yani
that even though throughout the year
there are 10 different
levels 10 different activities 10
different
characters and all that
nevertheless
hashanah they're all missile
they all elevate themselves they're
taken for a ride into the godhead
and over there we find the commonality
between each of the ten
and what's the commonality that we come
from one father
okay you have ten children and one is a
lawyer one's a doctor one is if these
opinions is a learner and one is this
one is that makes no difference when it
comes when they come before the father
they're all the father and the mother's
children
we don't look at them as
they are in their individuality
and
specific tasks and responsibilities
we look at them as children of a father
and a mother
and from that perspective they're all
the same there's no difference
the torah says
when they all gathered their heads
[Music]
to the milk let's see how delta ever
touches this
all the yiddin
joined together
when do you have a deprived of the king
the best of the king
the righteousness of the king when
everyone is behesa safe
when everyone gathers together he's that
clown goggle
moshe as you're driving listen to this
great rule
the whole the aussie missed it to the
dekudushim will be preached notes
through lost and be safer
whatever comes from the side of holiness
we have a rule
the edge is wedged in the beginning
from this perspective there is no head
there is no beginning and there is no
end it's a circle
this is what kabbalah calls at gulen
circles
where does the level of vaguely circles
take itself from begin it's called the
encompassing light sovieth
therefore
the sages say
next page
you're innocent
why should you be
modest and humble before kuala lumpur
what do you mean i learned i die and i'm
a mensch and then he seems to be not
that way so why should i have humility
for him
because every person has something that
the other person doesn't have they could
um say guess what
we need
we need the sanitation workers and they
need us
we need the tannery workers
we need all types of people
each all of us need each other
therefore it's a circle
yes yes
there is an advantage
and a virtue a virtual advantage to each
individual
in that detail
that individual is greater than the
other and the friend and the other needs
him
so don't tell me you
you might not see the the the virtue of
the sanitation worker
yes you do because if not you would have
a lot of dirt the front of your house
and it would smell so obviously you do
see the advantage of a sanitation worker
because we wouldn't want to do it
someone has to do it
so i'm just using an example i'm just
saying
or someone who asked them you know i was
thinking of this morning an idea came
there i should make a certain type of
website and i say great idea hey who's
going to fund it b who's going to run it
i don't want to run it i'm busy as it is
i'm going to run a website you need
everyone needs each other you need each
other to make it all the wholesome one
okay marshall
i'm sure claiming
[Music]
although the feet are all the way to the
bottom
you know
in the head is above
on top
nevertheless
from one level from one perspective yes
yes you know milo a lot of glam there is
an advantage and a benefit to the feet
over the head strategically
that you need to you need to walk up
with them the gum
and therefore without the feet the head
wouldn't get be able to get to where it
needs to
the game
the feet have another advantage that the
entire body stands on the feet
if there's a problem with the feet
the head can work
the body could work but the feet are
very
it's hard for the person difficult
the gumkash
without that is another point to prove
his point
when you have a headache
and damn better
there's a method of of healing and maybe
halo knows more some of those more where
you uh do
uh makes a knew what's called how close
is that bloodletting
you do bloodletting of the feet
the nipple and it brings healing to the
head i don't know if you could use this
an example i'm not a doctor and the
doctor is in the or room right now he
sent me a message he's not at the sheer
we would ask him but the idea of taking
for um
nut stents heart heart transplants and
and they take veins from from the feet
or the legs
so maybe maybe we could use that as a
modern day example i don't know anyway
um
says that the headache that you have in
your head
when you let blood
from the feet it heals the headache
so what do we see my shirt we see that
the head is macabre it receives from the
feet
venezuela
muslin
there's no completion
to the head without the feet
mushroom says i don't know if he says
assume but
it
says i'm standing here
and then what does it say further in the
passage
amongst the 600
000 foot soldiers
those boots are made for walking and
walking all over you
those boots
that are looked
by sinatra as one way of
we take that and we say that's what the
outfit ever means here that without
those boots the head won't go anywhere
you must have the boots
next paragraph
he named
all jews are one nation one complete
nation
[Music]
says even if you're such an individual
basically he doesn't say this even if
he's so arrogant to think that you are a
roche who i'm so roche i'm so great
in comparison to my friend hare english
veda you don't have completion and
wholesomeness without your friend
vanessa
so therefore if you understand this
you'll find a deficiency
in your nephesh and your soul
that your friend completes you
i
we
find that since
we don't have a certain
strength in a certain area and then we
look to someone who seems to be a
regular type of foot type of person and
guess what he has it he can fit he can
work and i want to sit in the air
condition and just relax or think or
write
there's people that need to build the
roads
they're people that make have to make
the
the the utilities
you know so when what even though i'm
into roche type of things i recognize i
have a deficiency in a certain area and
therefore the other person completes me
by a day there when a jew realizes that
you bottle the shuffle
that you will be
subservient and modest
to the point that
you won't find any longer
this idea
jonathan of i am a rosh and i am a
i just for a moment want to point out
that altareb is talking about an
experience
that's much
higher and deeper than there is a head
and there's a foot and we complement
each other that's what he said earlier
but what he's getting at now is a higher
level of what we call achtus unity
where to begin with there is no head and
there is no foot
the attitude
the attitude that a person comes to is
not that there is categories and
categories all come together but they're
to begin with isn't categories like they
ever told me and i've told you this
before when i printed those 5 000
brochures and i came to marin county to
introduce khaba to the entire community
which mostly were
either unaffiliated jews that belong to
reform conservatives temples and
synagogues
so i saw this brochure that came out of
chicago actually from another chabad
rabbi friend
and it had his picture and it said in
big words i am not orthodox i am not
conservative i am not reform i am a jew
and a jew a jew and this is at the heart
of the chabad philosophy and i thought
this is the best thing since the slice
the bread and uh and i'm sending it out
i printed out printed up five thousand
of those cards but before i did that i
just sent my boss to the baba jeremiah
what i did i sent them a sample within
hours i got an answer from the rebel
within hours
a long answer and basically the answer
was
don't do that because by saying i am not
you are giving credence to the fact that
there are categories in judaism
there's reform conservative and and
orthodox and you're saying you're not
that epic says to begin with there
aren't any categories yes one person
might pray at this synagogue that's
called reform and another person at this
synagogue what's called orthodox etc but
that's not who the jew is
so your message that you're trying to
convey this is what the devil was
telling me is contrary
you're telling me this is lubavitch no
that's not lubavitch that's not
is there are no categories
and the fact that someone
has a profession or has an activity that
we call reformed conservative unorthodox
that's not the real jew the real jew is
god hashem hashem
now the rebels saying this over here is
two
says look at those words
you come to a position
of abbas israel
that they're that you've you you've
refined yourself so much that there's no
difference between a head and a foot and
by the way this is not easy this is not
this is not easy this is part of
registration this is very hard
do you how many people do you do you
know could you could say they don't look
at society and they don't look at people
as individuals as far as differences
they see them as a wholesome one it
that's it's
but that's without is saying that we
have to get to and that can be
accomplished
in other words look at the verse look at
the verse i you stand today
and then the torah
[Music]
and so in other words let's just go over
again there there there is the
perspective that there are 10 categories
and that's a healthy beginning to unite
the 10 categories then there's a higher
experience of deeper experience where to
begin with there aren't 10 categories
it's all cool
so with
within the individual categories what's
felt and heard is the kulgham
the
ham you're innocent you're innocent
you're following this verb
you've learned to see this you
understand this word this is a deeper
level in what we call achtus hashem and
actress planet israel
right moshe are you with me on this
gotta make sure everyone understands
this moisture
yeah yeah thank you
so
the outer episode alternative is saying
that
that that
today value day beetles there is actual
and through this humility
we unite
to for ashram to dwell on us page
members next page
[Music]
coming from a place of holiness believe
us for self without head and end
conversely
someone who thinks
that individual falls into the world of
separation
from the
other negative side and period
divisiveness rules this person
now you understand we're talking about a
mindset jaini
we look
in other words when we learn to sid this
just for a moment i want to learn a text
but when we learn sid this we're not
just learning the practical we're
learning the philosophical and
psychological as it impacts the
practical and we always look back at the
philosophical and psychological so the
altar is saying here if you think about
another that you are a rosh and he is a
self then you have fallen into a world
of separation and divisiveness and
that's what rules you until you do juva
so you want to know why you have strife
in your life because you're full of
strife
that's why you have strife
if you wouldn't think this way and you
wouldn't be this way the way you've made
yourself to because your essence is good
and holy
but you've backed yourself into a place
of i am the roche
and and he or she yourself
then you have fallen into the world alma
the prudha and that's very unhealthy
along with the brother because with the
brutal we see everything in with
separateness
everything is separate
and that's very unhealthy and it causes
a lot of problems in the personality and
the character and it's a big mess
says
but i recognize that we're only humans
and we fall into this trap says
hashem
all jewish souls collectively return to
their source which is unity
i'm quoting the earlier verse
when we when the head when the heads of
the nation gather
rosh
makshava rose is the level of thought
the russian
and the heads of the nation
these are the thoughts of the general
nation of israel
they are gathered from the world of
separation
and they're reunited to the world of
when the heads of the nations gather for
a big meeting says
we're talking not about the heads of
that we're talking about those people
and those individuals that look at
themselves and have a feeling
of separation
and they've now been scattered into the
world of separation which falls all over
chaos reigns
one day we're here when they were there
we don't know where we are
comes rich hashanah
safe
we're all gathered together all those
sparks and all those separate um
entities and feelings are gathered to
the whole the real truth which is
that
during the year their thoughts caused
them to turn this way and to turn that
way
why do we why do we turn to green other
pastures
and benefit from them although it's very
unhealthy it's because we've been
trapped in alma de pruder
comes rosh hashanah they all become
they all come back to the private domain
together
cloud and this is the cloud the the
general rule in other words just the
general rule of what takes place at rosh
hashanah so someone asks you
what does the the truth of rosh hashanah
consist of that's different healer than
the truth of everyday the everyday truth
is in the on the individual and in the
and regarding individual details of life
the truth is to bring all of israel and
all of my being to a place of achtus in
other words listen to this
the hate we don't say on rosh hashanah
why not because that's antithetical to
rosh hashanah
our hate is already focusing on aditya i
send this question that way that you got
your kid before rejection is what we
call the truth of claudit
it's the general concept of truva do i
want to be in unison do i want to be in
unity or do or or do i want to continue
being a separation
and that's a very powerful thing to
think about
and and and and also and this is why
it's specifically to rosh hashanah not
the yom kippur because it's the rosh
it's the head of the ear
the nerve center
begins rosh hashanah yom kippur is not
the nerve center
and we all know that everything is
totally everything depends on the brain
the brain
rosh hashanah is the focus on the brain
or like i like i use the word and i
think it's a very good way it's the
paradigm shift
your kipper is not the paradigm shift
your kipper is banging this way and that
way i did this i did that forgive me
i'm not belittling it you know it's your
keeper it's
it's very high well as reclaimed said
it's holy holy holy it is holy holy holy
but before you can appreciate holy holy
holy
you have to know what holiness is risha
hashanah is is setting the stage
holiness is actus
and and and anything and anyone that's
that's that's committed to actus is holy
that's the rule that's the rule it
doesn't mean individually you can't
practice this way or that way absolutely
you know but in concept
all you are one
and and
that's what hashem wants we say it every
the bracha is not there
so the answer the answer for for us
for claudius
that day and that's why we put such an
emphasis on the importance of reish
hashanah because we're looking for the
truva that's known as the paradigm shift
truth
we're not going into you know the
details of course and therefore i told
you last week or i told another i
remember who i told but we have this the
chris the machines and the shophorse
right
memory
kingship and chauffeurs
those are all ways of expressing the
unity the actors the hamelech
okay so the whole focus we have to
really change our way
of thinking about rosh hashanah and if
it was good enough for rabbi salovey it
goes a lit or like he would say i'm
i'm a snagit from
if he could speak about roshan as the
coronation of the king i've told you
this the kara nazir right
i mean and he and he wasn't allah
baptizer and he wasn't
although he liked siddha many like
chabad
that means he came to a place that he
understood
that what the altered is saying and he
was a tr he was mamash you could say he
was the hostage of the altar rebel the
altar ever by him was
kardash why
as a prisoner it wasn't because you know
he was emotionally moved it was because
he understood with his deep mind that
this is the theme of rosh hashanah
the truth of close
so this is a very important reminder
yes hillel
i i just want to share a couple of
thoughts that came up as we're doing
this this this beautiful beast yes one
um
when uh
you know the first thing that jumped out
at me when we said the second paragraph
when he said
yeshua and mele
so uh
uh yeshua this yesterday
straight correct
and then he begins very shortly
thereafter and talks about you know
um
he talks about a circle
so i was reminded you know the process
of creation that the seyfried sera
describes that everything begins with a
point and then there become two points
and then there become three points and
then and then and then uh
they the the connections from the form
the third dimension
of
of uh you know time and space or
whatever it's talking about over there
uh uh the circular dimension right and
then and then i was and then uh i was
remembering that
in this week's parsha as well right
after attendance
it begins to talk about
uh rosh pouraya
that uh you know uh the um
the person who's going to secretly
do a vote of zoro a
so like they they uh they they uh they
take for themselves and rosh
and they sort of uh separate out they
see themselves as separate from
everything else
and it occurred to me that we could say
what is a rosh perea it's a it's a rosh
it forgets that it's connected to its
feet
you know
right there
like the famous story of the moshe
uh i think it's rosh hashanah right
where he's been happening a long time
and and uh and that has seen him leave
and he and and he finishes because he's
not he does he can't stand on their
shoulders right to reach the high levels
he needed all of them there
yeah
um
it could even be that the
the concept of north korea
from the at the beginning is wedged in
the end that the
edges were
in the beginning it could be that it's
from
from a safety at cedar let's see if he
gives her a footnote here
um
yes yes it is
for people
yeah
so uh it is safe here too okay let's
continue let's continue any any other
questions it will continue paige
memdalid pedic shaking yes moshe
hello
just go back for a second
um
the concepts of of mafias
is in chauffrost yes
how do we understand zijanus
the simple the simple answer that a jew
in the base measures would answer you is
that since this is a yo madin
and you wanna you want the judge to look
favorably at you you do
what it says in the megillah for example
where uh
if the king couldn't sleep
and he said bring me my book say forza
i think that's even the language there
and he sees that he that just that this
jew
helped him
oh he says did you help me
help me well then i owe him a favor
and therefore he goes on to another
decree so moshe it's rosh hashanah
and there's a court case
so we
we bring to hashem's attention things
that were we did that were forgotten
metal anthropomorphically speaking by
god and we remind god of things that
that we the jewish people did that god
said i like that i'm happy and that's
brought now in our favor for the yomadin
that's classical judaism 101.
clear much is that clear
yeah okay it's clear that's clear
but but
sees it in a whole different way
because siddhis asked the question
what do you mean hashem forgot he
forgets nothing
why why do we need us to remind them
but moshe for that we need to learn a
separate mimer and it's not for now
but
i'm going to encourage you that you
should you can go online you will find
in english that question and that answer
says yes i i've laid the groundwork in
the first chapter very nice but could
you give me some details about that ever
speaking like my shirt be practical
well you're not true
what is this idea this type of truth
with this paradigm shift
i'm sorry and thirdly dreb asks
i mean i gave you already pretty much
the answer but
at the end of last paragraph but this is
the three questions the delta queries
how do we do it specify give me
specifics
what's the concept of a paradigm shift
shuffling of rosh hashanah and why daft
and rosh hashanah
so he says be it akos if he says let's
go further into pashas with seven
remember yoni there's
pasek in its oven so he says look let's
look further in the verse
it says in the apostles
for you go by you go through you
experience a covenant a breeze
for union to understand this
muscle what's the torah using this
concept of bliss
for example
two good friends
make an agreement
right like we all studied in high school
after 20 years oh henry's famous work f
20 year right
we're making an agreement after 20 years
we are going to meet on this street
corner in baltimore where we grew up
when we played ball we are going to meet
even though we go out and we start going
different ways and we're all over but
after 20 years and this is this date we
are going to meet here because we are
soul mates and buddies
so like tipsy
they make an agreement a brief a
covenant
that their love that they have
when they're now you when they're young
should never cease
so even if they're gonna marry wives
that are both are witches excuse the
expression well the husbands are witches
and they say stay away from that guy
you know many times the spouse that gets
in the way you want to be a friend with
someone and he or she says no stay away
that's only here
or here but if you make a crisis
nothing can stop you nothing because it
goes deeper than even marriage okay
never forget that as well as as great as
marriage is and as holy as it is
a crisis
comes from the essence and if two people
if
they feel so one
nothing can stop them nothing
okay now it doesn't mean you have to do
it in a way where you upset a spouse
you know
you know and you don't have to stick it
into their face
but the crisis still is very palpable i
just met this friend i told you i hadn't
seen him 46 years and asked my wife and
kids they i introduced them it was like
we were
it was like we were back in yeshiva in
first grade we met in first grade
through ninth grade
and asked them it was like we were
talking to each other like like like
like with children in haiti
the love the the old love that's so
genuine is very very very strong
especially if you make an agreement of
crisis bris that we are going to keep
this going let's continue the mushroom
[Music]
if
their love would be such that they they
say we're going to have it forever why
do you need a bris
why do you need to take you know it says
he cut a piece of meat and you walk in
between whatever it's called the crisis
bliss
why do you need it
because they're fearful
maybe the love that we had for each
other the concern
will be annulled
here is alluding to what i said maybe
it's your spouse or something else that
causes you causes the love to dwane
so therefore like decreases
through the breeze there'll be an
everlasting love
call about he might it you won't be able
to budget and to move from it
forever
and no inner or outer obstacle will
prevent
the the relationship
the heinous
because they make a very mighty and
powerful
bound
connection
making the because
of love that's a wondrous connection or
the my limit
beyond rationale
rationally you shouldn't be there
whether your spouse doesn't want you to
be there your employer your situation
you know you can't get there right right
like a mental football said to me when i
made that video video of him you know i
i really want to be by my sister in
australia but i don't have the energy of
an old man i don't have the money so i'm
coming to you in other words
the cash and that's a sister of course
you're not talking about just a family
member the cashier exists
you know people always ask you know what
in my i wrote about robert salvation in
the rep they say what are you what type
of relationship they have the way you're
making it sound if they barely met when
for 45 40 50 years or they when 40 years
they were in america they met maybe
three four or five times
so as as as toluskin writes in his book
and i wrote it in mine as well that
that's not the sign of a connection
the sign is that the one or two times
that you correspond or you meet it's
like you never left okay so dr ebba says
here that the kesha nifl is the my limit
tom vadas it's above logic so you write
logically hillel if you don't write to
each other you don't call each other you
don't communicate you're not really
friends
right that's what you ask that's what
i'll tell you but it but that's that's
tom vadas that's logic the my
limitations is it goes beyond that
logical equation
and therefore although according to
based on logic there should have been a
cessation of the love a leaking is a
sinner or maybe even there's a reason to
hate that person or not like him because
of a certain reason
although became
their love is for it forces you to have
that love the crisis
forces the love and the connection
between the two
valkov
very important moshe this is so
important you're a god by this rule this
is so important you know it is and also
for all sin
love covers up now what's the idea you
see a problem you see a situation
if you tap in to your real other
it you're beyond it
and there is a problem and there is a
situation you have to find a way to deal
with it
but you don't conclude with i hate him
or you know out you go and all of that
no
