Today is sponsored form and the week is sponsored by dedicated to all those in need of every time you hear me say one of these names I just want you to understand every single sponsorship eventually leads every single sponsorship whenever anyone sponsors [clears throat] a shir it's not just that it's a give out that you're giving covet But because we live in and we live on a way of of work and reach and every time there's a sponsorship it's you could mamish see the line that someone's little a few guilt or whatever it is helps someone god knows where be get touched and reached by the ta we're learning here. It somehow gets it somehow is mashia. So I I thank everyone for always sponsoring and I want to encourage everyone to continue to put a little bit of a little bit of uh Mama's help here so that we could continue to the reach which has been it has been something else especially since and it should keep on growing and growing. >> This is one of my favorite teachings in Evan Schlommo that one of my favorite favorite Torah because it's so unexpected. It's so unexpected. It's so like bame and I've been challenged on this for many years by people that have learned this teaching wondering like h how how did he get to this or you'll see how how did this how how could this how did this end up being so first of all like this when we say the word when we say that word so we what do we usually think about without everyone reading ahead what do we usually think out is a big saddic. Maybe have a help with the nig rainbows. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Huh? >> It's amazing where everyone's at. Rainbows and Ben. It's amazing thing. Rainbows. But when you learn the par you start thinking also much more about because of the famous maj that there was one place in the world where there wasn't a where there wasn't a mu and that was kesh that was every few years they come I hear another report saying they found another piece of what probably hararat >> big one this year >> this one was a big yeah this year I don't know did you guys see this >> it's going in Turkey I think >> yeah big development this this year Wow, it's very interesting. >> A year ago was in South Africa. [laughter] >> Next, >> it works. Guess you could use it for something. [laughter] But something about init that was found which makes it even more I don't know if the word dramatic is correct, but it makes it [snorts] even more puts the whole thing into gishmachnness. if there's a word like that. I don't know if there's a word like that. So, you know, it's going to speak for itself. It's a short, but it's a very very good when the dove comes back towards the evening and it comes back after sent it out and what does it have in its mouth? Alite. What's an alite? An olive branch. So this is this is after the is checking to see what's going on. This teaching is going to show us that it's not enough to just like not have like it wasn't enough just to say oh there's no more destruction there's no more like we always say of is the shab of mo does you remember that teaching >> I'll say it again right now everyone wants to wipe out a malik but the the cook says that's that's fine but in the it's important But what are you going to write instead? What are you going to place instead of what you just deleted? In the of Shabas, you're only over the not just if you erase something, but if you write something instead of it, that's considered a mel. Okay? It's not just that you demolish, it's like not the same thing, right? You destroy in order to build. So the mabu play we all know especially the alterb and terra explains this like so be explains this so beautifully could give this over infinitely better than I could ever attempt to this teaching even probably knows it by heart yeah right here is Amen. >> Back to the Revuk teaching alto. The mabu was on the one hand served as a mak as [snorts] a destroyer but on the other hand it also served as a purifier [snorts] a metahare. Now when you're this is a aik and we know this when a person is going through a mabble in their own lives they must plug into the paras that it's true I do feel like the world is crumbling my world is crumbling but I have to believe that just like in the time of no as the world is crumbling it's also going through a mikvah it's going through a tur and that's what hap that was the story but Noah wanted to know this he wanted to get a sense of when does the process of the purification really taken effect. He knew he was in the table for 40 days and 40 nights but process of after destruction. What was the sim? So today we're going to be seeing the sim of Msor of and and refining how it goes together. sends a dove to see if the earth had become dry already. And he come that night as the puss just told us the dove comes back with an olive branch in its mouth. If the whole world was destroyed, where did the dove find the olive? what we said in the beginning according to the you should be thinking already Friday night what do we say maybe we'll say it for shab I don't know or or later in it wasn't finished like oh okay so there's no more mabu We know that he knows how to make produce, right? No knows how to produce. That's one thing he knows how to do, right? So with this one, with this one olive, no makes a little bit of olive oil. Now listen now. Now follow now the there's a whole mahalak going on over here and just follow it. He gave over this oil. And this jug of oil that gave Shem, Shem passed on and gave to Arau. So Ara then gets the inheritance of this jug of oil. He passed that to Yakov. when wakes up from his dream. It says, "So he takes the rock that you know those 12 rocks that join together. He takes it, he grabs it. This was going to be this was destined to be right Evan. What Evan for the Ba Mdash?" He takes it. He creates an altar. He makes it into a monument. And he puts he he pours oil on its head. This is amazing. Hear what he said. Where does reaches so far? What para >> vet when yakavinu takes some oil to pour on the mata that he places that oil was came from the siman that the that the mabul was over that original olive oil that came from the olive that came from that olive branch that the dove brought ends up by Jacob >> when he when he wakes up and he realizes mikdash and he makes a mat >> [snorts] >> So it says like this the mdash itself was anointed with that oil with this oil whose whose seal was on this oil eventually >> the seal of the coin god Ah, we're getting to it in a second. Who is this first? How [clears throat] do we know that? Cuz what does it say? I know I know we're jumping around here with a lot of different generations and everything, but we're trying to show how there's sometimes details in a para that get overlooked because other things are much more >> I mean it seems to be much more a mule seems to be much more dramatic than an olive branch. So obviously the mabble is going to get the focus right but we [clears throat] have this at the towards the later part of the para that basically this oil this olive branch this dove plays a role in the anointing of the basdashm sorry when received this oil from Noah he sealed you know like notice it mean >> meaning like I was here this was this was mine right we've been here was alive in the time of the so he knew two things he knew and he saw and he experienced what evil can do into the world and he also knew where this olive oil came from. So what's this all preparing us for? So now now we're getting to kind of the point. It's not just the story of Ms. Now we're getting to the point of this whole of this olive oil. The war, the eternal war between Jacob and between Edom and Israel is around one thing. There are two types of holiness. So there is a ribbon says this many times there are two different types of struggles that we have in this world. evil like mavakim one struggle one holiness I guess is a holiness that you have to constantly consciously not passively consciously put up a war with it's amazing like what do we call the by the name Kenny why who's Kenny >> okay >> I was going to say that's for my >> what happens to Kenny every episode Okay. He comes back. >> What happens next episode? He comes back. So it's it's a it's a wild thing. Every time it's not it's not your para. [laughter] No. >> Who's Kenny? Listen. I didn't know till it's it's good. >> No. No. [laughter] Listen. But the whole is is that there must been writers that are writing these are writing these episodes and but this happens all the time there. There's like I I work on something so hard. I think I got it. I'm sure I got it. And then I'm shocked that it pops up again. Anger. No, no, this one we got we got this jealousy. We're good over here. Obviously, you know, bad thought. No, no, no. We have this one. And then you see it comes back again. So there's a kadusha that I'm consciously always always working on to make sure that that's one level of holiness. And because it's always being attacked, I could beat it, but I still have to fight in order to beat it. But then there's something else. And I I bless all of you to believe that this second thing exists because the first type of kadusha we all know exists because it's the story of our life. The Indian is to believe this second level of that every one of us has. Then there's a there's a holiness that the the power of evil can't reach at all. Who believes? Just pay attention. Who believes in the se in the who who needs to believe in the first level of holiness? No one. Why >> we know it? >> Because we know it. We know it. You understand? The kadusha. I know it. I have moments that I've seen myself overcome struggles. I have those moments. So the kadusha is something that I see and I know. You know why? Because Kenny showed up again and I called him out. said the second thing though is what we need. I want to give you a to believe in and me there's a level of holiness that you and I have that evil has absolutely no access to. Now why is it important for me to believe more in the sec in my opinion? Why is it more important to believe in the seven second type of gadia than the first type of gadia? What do you think? Why is it more important that I need to I must believe that there's a kadusha in me that evil can never touch? >> Because it's about you not about the >> meaning like the first one is the focus on on the external like oh it keeps coming back keeps coming back. You don't really have any call out. The second one is the focus is on you. It's the subject is you. You're no longer I guess an object. You are the actual subject of the conversation. Nothing can happen to you. Why >> have like these secret reserves that you can always call >> ah so that's a very important thing that's that's very important that we have secret reserves if I remember in times of mles that the mabble can only get till a certain point you see when I'm in a crisis when I'm in a trauma when I'm in deep into anxiety I can sometimes fall into a place of this is going to fully consume This is going to this is going to capture the all of me. This is going to fully fully encapsulate me. I'm going to if I remember this second type of I was like what's the we have by the right there has to be an end at a certain point there has to be an end. Why? There's a place in Israel that no nation they could tamper and do whatever they try to do to us. But there's a certain place that kadusha this there's a kadusha that they it can't touch. If that's true about the cloud that has to be true about the pr as well me and my personal life and then I tap into this what do you call it secret >> secret reserves >> ora there's a tva in that plot that you can't get inside. This is there's a TVA in the >> flood bed. I would like to say that that is how the balm dash the word >> according to the what is what is >> the word when aid is is one with his when there's when there's a very real approach to davening that's what were you going to say >> just from the wording here it's not I mean what she says kadusha theal as a concept that there is a type of like we took it immediately to within ourselves which is obviously one of the most important things that we have to like remember and think about because it's true. >> Yeah. But it's very [snorts] easy to not remember that when you're in the model. >> But as as a whole that I was just thinking of like the kadouch itself that there is kaduca that just >> you it doesn't matter what darkness can touch it and exists >> and it's enough to know that it exists to give me kayak even if I don't understand it. >> Yeah. I think another idea is like it's not that I'm being attacked by anxiety. I have just immersed myself in horrible behavior. I'm just like a a bad human being. It's like, no, there's there's a place inside me. No matter how bad I've been and no matter how stupid I've done and all of that, there's like a place inside me. It's okay. There'll always be [clears throat] a place inside me that can't be overwhelmed by the evil. >> Who wants to give him the soundtrack for his words that he just said? >> No. What song? >> Oh, no. No. That's that's it's too easy. I just did something horrible. Why? Because simultaneously, it's hard for us to understand this. There is a kadusha that exists. Now, we don't bank on it. It's not there to be banked on. And what it's there though is to give us to fight the other gusha that we're fighting for to preserve it even stronger. You understand? It's not a copout. Oh, it's okay. There's in me that no one can touch. I'm okay. Forget it. Gives us to go and wage war on all in our minds and our hearts and our souls. Okay. >> So, we learned this week of this actually really did show up. By the way, before I forget that video that went out about that Ra speaking about, that's the brother of the I couldn't believe it. >> He left me this beautiful message yesterday. I never met him before. Anyway, it's [clears throat] his brother. Crazy. Okay. Left me such a beautiful message last night. Hashem and Az. So, second to bottom paragraph, we're gonna tie this all together now hopefully. Hashem and Az. Where did Now, where did this oil come from? The oil that anointed the oil that anointed the the the ba mikdash. Where did it come from? Which kadusha did it come from? >> The kush untouched. Ah, you understand >> the oil that we're talking about throughout this whole thing came from a place of the kadusha that no one can touch. >> The marble didn't get >> the which even the mabble didn't get >> this alite resembles saying that can't be touched. That's why it's used to anoint the misbeh. And that's why to the mata and that's why it's also used to what do we do when kings become anointed? and with he'll be anointed with as well. >> Amen. >> So this is that can't be it comes from a place where can't can't be tampered with. It's always there. >> This is alluded just in the letters. >> She is always connected to that of was corresponding to the that little part that evil can't reach. >> So in the end of Then last is the rebuilding, you know, so you can connect the two together that [clears throat] there's always that that one point that's not broken, that one healthy cell from all the different >> god forbid cancerous cells or destructive cells that from that that's where we start to rebuild. So yeah, maybe my could be my could also leave but is always we always say the sin doesn't reach on that level. >> So so let's t let's let's bring it back. So at the end of the of of the Torah and then we say that we go right into I have the coak to start again only from the place of the was untouched >> that's the >> that's everyone talks about Actually >> that's unbelievable. It's dangerous when you come it could be >> it's so whatever we have to okay so what was given down to shame to to from to shame to zash and Jacob What were they fighting over >> that fateful night? This is this is unbelievable. That's what the struggle was over. >> This is from Mid. >> Ah, so here tell you the truth. I heard him say, "Mamash, I I didn't make this up. He he said this right [clears throat] now. You have I'm telling you there's some beautiful >> but they learn Evan Schlommo every week just to just to stick it to me and uh and no they and they send me >> where to get it from. No, no. I'm telling you this few one particular I love you if you're watching but you're probably not every week he sends me a he's like where did he get that from right now we wrote in the beginning of the we said like this like we did our best trying to find the chorus I would give this I gave this to many before it came to print and we were able to source probably 85% which was very hard very hard because whenever he says you know the measure says desire says did not say that says it's a whatever it's the way he heard things quite often as well but this specific one what you just asked about >> why can't just say it >> he for for me for me >> no I I can't >> 100% I my whole life is like that you know I'm I'm asking completely can I just to give a little bit of like here meaning he's talking in this audience to Jews that are lost and to Jews for Jesus hippies that are looking at Hinduism and talking all these different things and he's saying the mil between Jacob and Asov that is the mil kama between Christianity and Judaism is this exact Exactly. Is it the god against the devil? No, but inside everyone is really the is exactly that. >> It's exactly that. And and I'm Jeremiah because >> I just remembered where he said this. He this was this teaching was given over strumming between Bari and Ashunim of a concert in 1971 in a in like some like total you know like one of these uh >> yeah like one of this a place that that that that fight is so apparent >> exactly >> mash >> that is the >> this wasn't the middle of a shear this was said I have the I mean I just went back to the tracks in my head the audio It was awful. We worked on it for years to extract [clears throat] mameish like a like to extract what he was saying cuz it was it was going in and out one of these one of these. It was either 69 or 71. >> It's exactly that. >> Ask for the makuras to miss the entire [clears throat] >> listen I I agree too. But but I understand but I also understand the the ratson of and people that that are learning Torah to want to see the Mak. It's true. I understand [clears throat] >> their to see the >> they're learning you bet. It's a big thing >> which is which I that's why I have >> no no I have a lot of cover for it. But if you're stuck on that and that's going to prevent you from hearing the teaching he's right and and David's right 100%. For me for sure it is. >> No come back the next week. Trust me. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm [laughter] >> it's what Jeremy said. [clears throat] I had the same thought. All you have to do is look at the world like Christianity believes I mean certain sects believe in original sin. This is all about original sin. It's the idea that we don't >> and this is saying this is this something else. >> Right. So again, We have to call the editors of little major says. Why the imagery there of the of remember the did any of you grow up with that book? >> Do you remember? >> Do you remember it? You remember the picture of Yakov uh biting the Asov biting >> uh you know Yeah. sketches >> the sketches. Yeah. Yeah. So there's another there was one another one there about [clears throat] about that story here would be like the highest the highest elevation of that imagery would be that there's really there's like there's like a pashm behind the the war between them and that's what they're going for, right? And Jacob was saying it doesn't you'll never get that. That's no to you. That's that's the huh >> why would as even want it? [clears throat] >> As wants a lot of things that seem very holy like what Asav has this desire he himself can't understand. >> You could say lives off of holiness. What's that? >> Lives off of holiness. >> You can't you can't explain it, but that's their 100%. >> It's called replacement theology like >> Okay. So now look at just so beautiful how he says it over here in the bottom which also ask me every year for the after this fight was overd already knows where the bdash is going to be. He had already been there and he comes back into places this by the mum where the b mikdash is going to be rebuilt. So the found it. Oh, wait a second. [clears throat] That's right. We do have an has to do with oil, right? >> What's the source for that? [clears throat] So really, you know, everyone talks about like it's a drought now was the coin. >> Correct. that is really preparing us to have to hold on to >> we did it already will come he'll be taking from that same and and illuminate the whole And until so just as beautiful as this mahalak is but let's just give one over here is that until msiah comes how do you be a little mashiach is if we tap into that this type of parash the untouched which is called simple don't wait till mashia how do we exemplify it here today to believe that and really those 45 seconds that says it on you know God gives us freedom once God once it's given to you no it can't be taken gave this to us but here we're talking about something even deeper than what happened fromas mit freedom was given atas mit but this kusha when was it given to us the moment went into the bris as it can't be touched There's a that can't be touched. Again, we shouldn't rely on it and bank on it and say, "Oh, it's okay. When I fall, I'll remember that I'm like that." You know why? Because when you fall, you start to doubt the existence of this state of you start to doubt its existence. Yeah. >> It's it's interesting how close we came to none of this happening. Um the the two before this is uh >> ah happy birthday. >> He knows He knows the para >> and right he sent it out and it says that the the Yona couldn't find anywhere to put his feet down. He couldn't find anywhere that he you know stable uh leg and it was so easy [cough] to [clears throat] just be like forget it. I give up. >> Yeah. >> Right. But it's only that he waited and he died and then a week later he did it again. He's like I'm not giving up. That's when he found the Kadusha. >> Yeah, I give up. >> He wasn't he couldn't he couldn't hold it. We couldn't, but we were that close to not having anything after. >> Feels like we've been temper, you know, dancing around that for way too long. >> Yeah. Done. Would you say [clears throat] that it's that the in our generation is is but it's really that's the way to get the you know >> that's why you know why why does Rabbi speak about this more than anyone else about the of the sadic that sadic resembles that world of that of place of untouched 100% should be a beautiful illuminated shabesh for all of us our families Kadeshm two things we're going to say kadesh now but I just got a message that there is breakfast here just wasn't here before sponsored by the wolfson's it's grand >> mother's yard site what was her name >> amala's >> grandfather >> grandfather you know his name So, it's it's in the back over here. Okay.
