Rav Shlomo Kluger Uncovers The Annual Lottery of Rosh Hashanah

this store class is brought to you by torahanytime.com welcome everyone to the last edition of the Wednesday share of tuftshin iron Zion so uh we actually gave the share last night but unfortunately the audio was not effective so here we go again we repeat that's what chuva is all about and we want to thank godalia Schwartz for sponsoring this repeat let's begin by thanking the ivanishan for giving us yata the shmaya together together every Wednesday evening for shirei Taira for the retira and we're so grateful to have this great should continue to be mashpia on us chef and especially okay if we examine the Ishmael esre of Roshana and Yom Kippur we will notice that probably the main theme of the Roshana davening is the concept of malchris accepting Hashem as our Melech proclaiming Hashem we say we acknowledge hashem's his kingdom and his Rule and dominion and we submit to that however if we look carefully at the Roshana davening we will notice that not only are we metabol upon ourselves the but we also offered Villa that the ivanish should be realized and recognized and accepted all over the world we say rule over the whole world in your honor vihinase elevate over the whole land in your majesty reveal yourself in the glory of your mighty we want everything that was created to realize that you are the Creator Envy of and everything that was fashion should understand you fashioned it and everything with the soul and its nostril should say Hashem it would seem then that this particular additional request is not really connected to Rosh Hashanah and that's because yes on Rosh Hashanah God is our King and we accept God's sovereignty but the idea that God should rule over the whole world and everyone recognized hashems is not something that is realized on Rosh Hashanah it's something that will occur Bianca at the end of days uh in fact this is something that uh will will only be recognized so it would seem perhaps difficult why we are praying for this specifically on Rosh Hashanah in fact you know over the last couple of years when it comes yamnaram time we very often we very often go to the uh Neymar of the ram Khal the Iran Hal of course wrote manisvaram he wrote he wrote wrote a little-known countries on the uh uh the Russian Yom Kippur davening where he explains the philosophers even says when will it be fulfilled when will that be the ram Khan number three on your sheets this will occur primarily when amalek is removed from the world because about our molec it says there was the oath is in the world God's throne in God's name will not be complete until amalek is eradicated so that means that these Felice that that we pray for this request that we make that God should be recognized all over the world it will not be come to fruition until the in that case why then are we miss thalal for this on Rosh Hashanah it would not seem to be directly related to the imhadin and the ramhal himself explains in the and he addresses this question if you take a look on your shida number two says God stands so to speak as a king the owl came therefore since Hashem is the King on Rosh Hashanah it is the appropriate time to pray before Hashem that his sovereignty should be recognized in the world meaning what Ram Khal is saying is once we're at it once we're davening and acknowledging Hashem and in fact on Rosh Hashanah God is most manifest as melach we're davening we take the opportunity well God wants your manifest as nalach we hope and pray that the day will come that this malchus will be revealed completely to the whole world and the world will be corrected through this and based on this principle is the entire additional part of the Shema esre of the prayer that the whole world recognized God's we would like to explore today another dimension of why we pray on Rosh Hashanah for the realization and recognition of hashems to the whole world that why this is so Central to the theme of Rosh Hashanah the tour and Simon toughkeep number four on your sheet brings the idea that typically if a person's life was on the line if a person was being tried for a capital offense then the way they would present themselves the way they would so to speak dress and groom themselves would be that they would not have the emotional we're with all to dress in their finest to groom themselves to bathe themselves after all they have much more pressing things on their mind their life is on the line and yet points out the tour on Rosh Hashanah we do the exact opposite we dress in our finest and we groom ourselves and we bathe ourselves why says the Torah you know why Le Fisher because we are confident that God will perform a miracle for us now the question is on the tour this sounds like force confidence are we really confident that the judgment will be a good one after all the gemara tells us and the ramam codifies that Rosh Hashanah all mankind tasked before Hashem Kevin and Hashem judge is a person based on one thing and one thing only and that is a person's merits and demerits a person is judged only based on their actions and someone who has more mitsules will be written and sealed for a good happy successful healthy year and if somebody has more demerits than merits they will not be sealed for a good year well if that's the case can anybody really be confident that their portfolio is one in which they could rely upon to Merit a good year after all we don't really know our respective standing before Hashem yes superficially we would like to think that we are all Sadiq but the gumara tells us that one of the things which is hidden from the eyes of man is the oi mechadin the profundity of judgment who could say that they are the Sadiq that they have more mitsos thanaveros yes we like to think of ourselves as good Jews we dive and we learn so on and so forth but if you look and analyze one's actions so carefully are our brachos really with the proper kavana do we really dive in with the right intention and devotion do we learn as much as we can do we really treat people properly and the analysis of Heaven is so scrutinizing that nobody could be confident in what the new year will bring and yet the Torah tells us that the reason why we dress in our finest on Rosh Hashanah is exactly for this reason that we are confident in what the new year will bring for us we are confident that Hashem will give us a happy and healthy year but are we confident can become can we be confident is it really correct for us to be confident what is the meaning of the tour what's so interesting is that this time of the year the yamnam Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur sukis it's a progression so we will part of what we would like to explain today is what is this progression of Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur and sukkas let's talk a little bit about the Mitzvah of lulav the gemara base reviews this proves that the remnant of a mitzvah withholds punishment why because the waving of the carbon prevents bad winds and Badoo meaning it's not only the Mitzvah itself that offers a person protection but it's the remnant of the Mitzvah the dust of the Mitzvah the shiraim of the Mitzvah that is what offers the greatest protection as evident by the fact that it's not just the bringing of the carbon but the waving of the carbon that words off the Bad Reigns and the Badoo the um likewise with the Lulu love the Lulu love it's not enough just to take the Lula of yeah if you take the Lula of you'll fulfill the Mitzvah it's going to be an extra non-new him that offer a person protection from punishment would Shake That Lula back and forth and you know what he would say Amar he would say daina these are arrows in the eyes of the Satan very interesting would take the lulav and he would use the lulav as a sort of a way to incite the Satan he would use the lulav to instigate to sort of poke to be a thorn in the side of the South don't take that and he would jab so to speak the sat down with the love why would he specifically instigate against the sat down with the lulav I mean I understand the rule of is very pointy I you know you have to be careful and sure you know somebody in front of you who gets carried with and I knew him he could inflict uh some some serious injury with the Lulu love but all kidding aside with akhabayaka was not literally poking at the Satan it was an allegorical exercise if that's the case why would he specifically use the why would he specifically use the lulav this is the question of Italian quoted in the safer jerusem velikre Moser ver is um a safer published by our scroll from a talmud actually of Ramon hibernet why he asks if specifically instigate against the Satan with thee lulav very interesting tices tells us in the opinion of basala basilo says that when do you do the nanuum in halal three times number one number two he would Shake by Shiana and again so tysus wants to know what's up I understand why according to the solo you shake by you know why because if you look in halal Halal are chapters of tehilim the final chapter of Halal is perakas begins so cestosis I understand according to basila while we shake by because that's the beginning of a parag it makes sense to shake then but that's mittens that's smack in middle of the parag why would base Hillel Institute and feel that we should shake during a smack in middle of you know hello foreign Zion pasta climate base let the field and everything in it exalt us then the Trees of the forest will sing Hashem from before God say that the trees will sing could also be referring to they will shake they will move them back and forth they will be swayed it's a reference to the nanuum and when do we do nanuem the next person says [Applause] and the next when do we do the next nanuum the next is [Applause] which is reminiscent and similar to Anna Hashem and therefore since nanuum is based on this well fact the talmud of hibernate there's one part of this has not explained ozirana Hashem from before God who has come to judge the Earth what do those words mean what does that have to do with the nanuem that almost sounds like that we shake the rule of the network in direct response to the yomadin because there's a yomadin you know why we do not know him what do what does have to do with then I knew him why do we shake nanu him in response to the aimadin well to perhaps explain all of this let's take a look at the native but I'm not sorry who the Berlin in Paris Mr not in the Hamid davar but in a footnote in the bar in paragraph dalid Ava brings down that there is a dimension of the Yom hadin that we're not fully aware of yes we are all aware that every individual passes before God and Rosh Hashanah kevenar judge is a person's respective meris and the merits and everyone is responsible for their maestime and their voice even the inclination of the heart and not only does Hashem judge claw Israel not only is it Israel but Rosh Hashanah says every single individual every human being passes before God individually but says and it says there's another thing that transpires on Rosh Hashanah says in itself there's a war going on there's a battle going on between who between the angels of the nations of the world and Claus Israel why is coming to dwell hiswell um and we're coming to Proclaim Ibrahim as king between and therefore there's a war going on where we on the one hand are trying to Proclaim God as king and the angels of the nations of the world are trying to instigate and start up with us and there's a Muhammad says in itself in fact the native explains there are two dimensions of the shoifer yes there's a dimension of blowing the sheifer where it's a call to do wake up arise from your Slumber wake up snap out of the morose of of the narcissism of uh daily life the narcotic of complacency however says in its if there's another dimension of shifar when there's a war when there's a battle when there's a Muhammad taking place the Battle Cry is there's a trumpet there's a chiffer that's a cool fraction it's a call to fight because there's a war that's taking place on Rosh Hashanah between Claud Israel and the angels of the nations of the world so interesting I never knew that I thought Rosh Hashanah is a very individual day a day where every human being stands on his own and yet the native reveals to us that there's a completely new dimension that is transpiring on Rosh Hashanah and there's some kind of mokama taking place so in the safe area of the Lakewood Russia which was written by may you did today he points out that we don't understand what the nitsu is really referring to what is in itself mean that there's some kind of War taking place on Rosh Hashanah and there's a there's a battle and the shepher is the Battle Cry what what is this dimension of Rosh Hashanah that we're not familiar with well to get an added clue The Meadows tells us Sweetness in your right hand for eternity the word could also mean Victory says the medrish two people enter before a Dion before a judge and we don't know who's going to win imagine two people standing before a judge and there's some type of court case who's going to be the Victor we don't know who emerges Victorious well when the guy comes out waving the victory flag we know that he won says the matter is so too on Rosh Hashanah claudiusrael and um enter before the Great die and before the Revenge them to be judged on Rosh Hashanah and we don't know who's going to become who's going to be victorious and they prose and they instigate when claudiuswell emerges on sukis waving their lulav and their esri that's the victory flag that's a declaration we won we beat the um we are the winners of this war and the question is and I'm sure everyone's familiar with this matter that when you shake that little love you're declaring that we beat the um but what in the world does that mean we beat the um I thought Rosh Hashanah is in a day of individual judgment a day where everybody is scrutinized on their own what kind of competition is taking place between us and um there's a war going on there's a winner and a loser there's no winner and Loser on Rosh Hashanah every man stands on their own and everyone's judgment is dependent on the decision of God nobody is beating anybody else nobody is compared vis-a-vis there's no competition what does the mattress mean this is a mattress that we're all familiar with what does the medrish mean then on Rosh Hashanah we emerge in the aftermath on sukkas with the lulav there's no competition what this all indicates to us is that aside from the individual judgment that takes place on Rosh Hashanah there clearly is some type of war and battle and fight and struggle that is taking place between Cloud Israel and the nations of the world and what exactly is it that is taking place and to understand this we come to a tremendous piece in the klugar on consume where is refers us to some sukim in hazino these are sukim that we're all familiar with but we may not understand fully the impact of what these sukumar are telling us says the possible foreign when God bequeathed to the nations of the world when he separated man he set forth the boundaries of the Nations by the count of an Israel Hashem the portion of Hashem is his people is the chains of his inheritance mean if you look in the target if you look in the perky development tells us that at the door haflaga God said that's it we can't just have mankind anymore a Safa we have to create Nations it's not good when they're United so at that point in time took the 70 angels of the world and he said we are going to make now 70 Nations why are we going to make 70 Nations because corresponding to the 70 Jews who will go down to mitzrayim when God separated man he made firm the boundaries of the Nations meaning he created the 70 Nations why suddenly Miss barbani Israel by the count of Israel corresponding to the 70 years and God made 70 um and then the Perkins tells us something incredible Hashem made a lottery Hashem made a raffle and he told each Angel you guys you're gonna get each one of you are going to get one nation of the world that will be yours and I'm also going to get a Helicon so to speak took a big hat and he put 71 pieces in the Hat and he told him I welcome everyone's going to get a crack at it and one Milo got oh I got North Korea and one mouth said I got Russia one guy mama said I got America and the Republic stuck his hand in the Hat and out came beneath Israel says The Pick of the Republic he said I like my pick in other words the rebundershum's number one draft pick at the time of the daughter flogger we were God's number one draft pick I have a very sweet pick says the president of Lazar this is what it means Hashem God's is his Nation what does it mean we're his yes we are his pick we fell out in his share we are the Hashem and amazingly Italian says that when God picked Claus Israel Mikhail opened up his mouth and he proclaimedov you got a good share Gabrielle opened up his mouth and praised Hashem for choosing yaakovino so this is what it means Hashem we are the sheer of Hashem the um Israel we are Hashem what a happiness what a joy what a tremendous there are two denim that take place on Rosh Hashanah half love a fella of course every individual passes before God and Rosh Hashanah and Hashem scrutinizes their actions and their thoughts and what they did and what they could have done and what they should have done and regarding the individual then we have no confidence and we have no Assurance we certainly are gripped with Terror and fear but there's another dimension of the DIN and that is since Rosh Hashanah is the re-creation of the world and God so to speak is recreating the world every Rosh Hashanah so although um come to God and they say God if you're recreating the world so this time when you make the lottery choose us you're gonna pick those guys again they're going to be your helic again why should they they be your helic this time we want to be your halac and they challenge our selection the goyams say we want to be the kasham do over rematch why are the Jews your number one draft picked every year you know the draft is a yearly thing the team the same team doesn't always get the number one draft pick do-over redo says this is a tremendous battle that takes place every Rosh Hashanah where we're vying and we're striving to remain Hashem and to be chosen again to declare again Amoy and it's a very great struggle and we're warning off those nations of the world and you know what the ammunition in our repertoire is that when we dive in and we say Hashem you are our King and we pray and we hope and we yearn that your mouth is recognized all over the world that is the arrow in the eyes of the um Asylum that is how we Ward them off that is how we deserve to be re-awarded the title and therefore says there's a dichotomy of emotion that a Jew feels on Rosh Hashanah on the one hand we're so scared we don't know what the new year brings we don't know what the new year has in store for us we hope it brings us peace of mind security happiness success and everything we hope for and we have no assurance but there's another aspect of the din that regarding this aspect we are confident in the outcome and that is regarding the battle that we have with the Uma is [Applause] we know God's gonna make a miracle and we're going to remain and continue to be the helic Hashem if you tell a guy you're going to be a multi-billionaire but it's going to come along with a little agma Snapfish the person will say I'll take it and they'll be ecstatic therefore in Rosh Hashanah yes we don't even know about our lives on Rosh Hashanah but the great happiness and joy and simcha of being award and being confident that we will continue to be the Hashem that is such a powerful emotion that the overwhelming feeling of Rosh Hashanah is simcha and we wear our finest and we groom ourselves and we're confident and that confidence is the overarching feeling of Roshana despite the fact that as an individual we really have no guarantees the native is the native tells us Rael and it's a war with the angels of the nations of the world and they are not bothered with the individual we have no no individual as any business with the angels of the nations of the world but what they're coming to do is usurp the ummah of claw Israel the Mazel of Claudius Hashem is it any Wonder then says that number 17. when he wanted to instigate in and uh Stick it to the Satan how would he Stick it to the Satan with the little love why the love because now we understand when we go to show on sukkas and we wave the Lula when we say we won what did we win what were we the winners of regarding what are we the victors not regarding our personal Den we have no idea what the outcome of the personal Dent is regarding that we are awarded Hashem and when we wave that lulav we are declaring we won we enjoy the great benefit of Hashem we are God's Cher we are God's number one draft pick two years ago last year this year next year we're confident and when we wave that little love we're sticking it to the Satan and that's sort of would poke the Satan with the lulav because perhaps we could explain it further all the other Mitzvahs are an individual accomplishment and the Sutton to to counteract that the southern has a lot of ammunition oh yeah you did this Mitzvah but let's so let's check your personal repertoire but regarding the midst of love and regarding this Dimension that we are the hila kashem the Satan is silence because not him and does not hold and then we butter some definitively every Rosh Hashanah proclaims and perhaps it occurred to me on Yom Kippur one of the Filas that people get into and resonates very strong with people is [Laughter] [Applause] beautiful Tila very nice Villa Cinema One the world has got to do with Yom Kippur nothing bad the answer is this Fila is centered around the second dimension the dimension of will we continue to be like Hashem redoes this guy roll will we again be eligible to be like Hashem and if you understand Iber shirts in the Yaris division hey also enunciates this idea that Rosh Hashanah the malachem safe are coming to undo and to challenge the deal and the Brisa Hashem made with us very interesting was a great kabbalist in Italy in the late 13th early 14th century when it was one of the first of the Italian mukubalum to commit Kabbalah to writing and it's such an important work that remote wrote a commentary on the recante the recantean two places in Paris hazinu discusses this concept that the darha and the times of Dar haflaga God made a raffle and he called together what he calls he was going to divide the erets to the whole to all of mankind and he was going to give each part of the world a share to one of the one of the angels of the world he says the Shivam enough called the sheimrim but here and Revenge from ultimately chose Cloud Israel as apostle says let's explain this idea what does it mean we are God's draft pick we are God's lottery ticket we are God's halek what does that mean God runs the world he's the boy he's the manic what's the difference between our relationship with Hashem and the relationship of the um says very clearly what it means is that when Hashem created the world there is a hierarchy where he does run the Affairs of Mankind through and they serve as the intermediaries and the go-betweens between Hashem and the nations of the world but when it comes to Claudius Israel Hashem says there's no Maslow and there's no there's no malach Hashem us and God together there's no in betweens we deal and Report directly to Hashem and Hashem is not mashpia to us always it's direct connection between us and the Republicans we're his number one draft pick mean we don't deal with an agent and a middleman and a sour sword it's awesome there is a greater because there's no go-between say if this is the case then we could explain a very interesting Indian that's brought in the place given the nicobalam and give us an added understanding of the you may have sukis no it's interesting after closing so Hashem said I'm gonna send an angel why was that the punishment that when Kaliso served by the egal Hashem said let me tell you an interesting chuva in the shadows the river voice of Ryan brings down a very uh interesting idea he brings down the concept that one should not allow an ovied into their sukkah an idolater should not be allowed into the sukkah in fact he brings down that this idea is correct and it's mavour and the safer medrish pinchhas who is very macvid not to allow an oral into the sukkah oh so now the question he addressed is well what about if the schlock is up so now technically the Sook is not even kosher could you allow the Aquaman to the sukkah and he says no do not allow the Aquaman to the sukkah even when the sukkah is not in a state of cautious under no circumstances should under no certain shall the outcome be allowed into the sukkah and in fact if you look in the room he also writes the shark is one of the gure huarizal he says do not allow an idolaternity is the shade of belief does not have nemanos and if you allow the guy into the sukkah the kadusha runs away and the Seven usbizim cursed the person not only that if the person allows such a thing they think they're sitting but still but it doesn't they're not the sukkah is pilate them allegorically the sukkah is expelling them and the question is what's wrong with letting the Gentile on the sukkah Shabbos meal you'll allowed to have a gentile I'm not recommending but there's no prohibition of having a a Shabbos meal Within and uh why there's no there's no answer it happens to be on YouTube one is now an invited to their table because we're afraid you might cook extra but when the meal is over there's no Issa to have a uh what is it about the sukkah that specifically cannot enter the sukkah moreover I both say let me explain something the matters tells us that when Cloud Israel stood on her Sinai Hashem said you're my Sheila you're my sheer you're mine I deal with you and if you're connected to me you're gonna live forever just like I'm Eternal you're gonna be Eternal but then when claudiuswell sinned with Diego Hashem said you're not my helic anymore you're not my heroic you're gonna have to die foreign it's very simple it's very clear when we say Hashem that means we have no in between we have no mediary we have no um sarsour we have no go between we deal directly with God but when we made the ego what we were saying is we want it in between we want a middleman we can't relate directly to God we want to be like the um said you got to watch out what you ask for you want an in-between I'll give you an in-between you're going to be like the nations of the world you're not connected to me so you're gonna die foreign it's not enough to be forgiven we want you to come back to us we don't want to go between we want to deal directly with you and Hashem said no this is not enough what it Sadiq wants is he wants to Revenge them to love them and want them again as if they never sinned you know let's say you have a good friend and uh used to hang out together used to go out to eat together used to enjoy each other's friendship and he insults you let's say and he asked for forgiveness he said no Tinus I have no hypothers no problem I forgive you so three days later he calls you up so let's go out to Pizza no well you still have tiredness on me you're still angry at me no you know you're upset not upset you you didn't forgive me I forgive you 100 so what is it I mean what is it I'm not your friend anymore I forgive you I'm not going to say a bad word about you but I don't enjoy your company after you did what you did I don't love you I'm not friends with you like I once was atonement is not enough we want God to love us and want us as if we never sinned well says Aina what we try to access and what we try to gain with chuva is that we should regain the love of Hashem so and he davins and davins and diamonds Hashem should forgive us and he comes down on Yom Kippur and he hears a magical word Salah is looking up to the sky and cloudy soil is looking up to the sky but guess what guess what the Vilma going reveals to us they know there's a major question why do we sit in the sukkah on the 15th day of tishui to commemorate if we're trying to commemorate that Anya cover that we had when we left mithrayim we should be sitting in the sukkah on the 15th day of Nisan when we left Mitra and why in the world are we sitting in the Sook on the 15th day of Tisha it's Akash of the tour says the villanue we do not celebrate the miracle of ananyakave what we're celebrating is incredibly that when we sinned with the egal God said oh you want a middle man I'm out of here adios amigos you're gonna have a malach now and the ananya which symbolized that Hashem is with us and that we are here and that we have no go between and that we are that ceased and that ended up well emotionally Robin who came down from our C9 on the fifth on the 10th day of tishray and I said Hashem said I forgive you and Moshe looks up to the shamayam and Khali so look up to the shemaim and the ananyakovide had not returned the militia said what is it you're still angry or since I'm not angry I said Salah if I say Salah so what is it says moisha oh what is it I don't love you like before you can have to deal with them Allah foreign on the next day Moshe commanded them to build a mishkan and on the 12th and the 13th they brought in on the 14th and on the 15th day of tishre as they erected the mishkan indicating that we are again because we were nervous when Hashem said we lost being the Hashem that's what the matters tells us we weren't going to live forever but now we regained to some degree to a large degree we are again hashem's number one draft pick but there is a shash that Hashem also choose the nations of the world that my show is no we don't want a malach we want you and do not rest on the nations of the world and when Hashem brought down the anania come in a 50-day of tishra Hashem was saying I'm resting on you and only you the anania covered represents completely antithetical to the entire concept of what Asuka is all about this declaration of him when we shake that lulav when we say we're declaring we are victorious maybe that's another dimension of shaking the rule of we shake the wolf in the sukkah because Under The Canopy of the srina that indicates that we are connected to Hashem we wave the Lula of declaring yes we won we beat them we beat them out we are again this year last year next year and therefore it's no wonder says wanted to instigate the Satan what did he do he poked him with the little love that's one thing Satan you can't start up you want to challenge our individual observance yes but one thing you can't budge one thing we're confident on one thing we could go into Rosh Hashanah but what's the nurse maybe the nurses we know God will return to us as a nation and that is why the overwhelming simcha overwhelming simcha of so of Rosh Hashanah is we're confident in the yamatoid to declare us as his khalac and the weapon that we use to overcome the um is the Declaration Hashem is our King King means we don't need to go between we don't need anything in between us we don't have to ask anyone to send up our prayer we go directly to our Melech he's my milk he's your milk he's a melach Claus no intermediaries that were misspellah that this should be recognized by the whole world is our weapon that we use to ward off the sorry um firstly in this then should grant us the feeling that we are eligible and we are merited and on the same token I wish everybody individually to a year of health of parnosaima Yeshua is you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
