Shalom Alim everybody welcome back to
the I madash welcome home to Torah a
very very warm welcome home to Torah
first we want to pray for am Israel for
the protection Hashem should protect all
of us especially the
soldiers and uh also the families that
are um at most risk in the
north uh as you know we use the CLE car
as the basis for this discussion the
outline for the discussion you can find
on the inside the description box below
you can find a link and we encourage you
to follow along in order to learn Hebrew
even if you're not going to learn it
like slowly slowly but at least try to
follow it as best you
can um as Rabbi brewitz and some of the
other shim on our classes have discussed
the idea especially right now before
rashash that we have this famous
expression through doing repentance
prayer and of course giving of your time
or your money or your resources to help
people they those things
areer they can remove the evil decree
and so I just want to mention we are
over 30% around 30% of our um campaign
at the time of the holidays in order for
us to facilitate and give out the
charity that's necessary for people
we're helping widows we're helping W
well not just widows W widows that have
small children and orphans people who
are disabled uh people actually have
their bread winner in the hospital and
of course we're also helping a lot of
people who are displaced so in the
description box below on our website
you'll find the link in which you could
uh participate okay so we're in par
Nim and that means we're in Chapter 30
verse 11 of
Deuteronomy and these are really famous
verses and I just want to give a little
bit of an introduction because we're not
going to be talking about Torah I mean
listen to this it says in Deuteronomy
30:
11-14 this commandment which I command
you today is not concealed from you nor
is it far
away he it's not hidden from
you he and it's not far from you now
there are many commentators Rashi
included if you look at Rashi down on
Source number one that this is talking
about the Torah because the V says you
don't it's not in heaven who's going to
say who's going to go up to heaven for
us and bring it down or who's going to
go beyond the sea and um you know fetch
it for us so we can fulfill it but
rather it's very close to you it's in
your mouth and in your heart so that you
may fulfill it the Hebrew is actually so
beautiful he lore
it's not over the end of the sea and but
rather
it's so we're going to discuss this as I
mentioned already there are commentators
that says oh the word Mitzvah is
singular what is it talking about is it
a particular Mitzvah so some means the
whole Torah however we're going to take
the other opin for tonight's discussion
that it's talking about chuva we're in
as you all know an V Le the king is in
the field right God forgave us for the
sin of the golden calf on the first of
el he said to Moses come up you'll
receive the second tablets it was
exactly 40 Days Later which is Yum kipur
the day of forgiveness we knew we were
forgiven and the zodiac sign for El is
the Virgo Virgo implies that you're like
a virgin meaning I'm going to renew my
relationship as if nothing ever happened
forget it forget about it didn't happen
so with that in mind we're going to use
the truva aspect of what this Mitzvah is
regarding these verses so the clear like
I said it's on page so it's
781 at the top of the page where it says
DK sheni who me we're talking about its
CH the statement
says this Mitzvah that God is giving us
is it a particular Mitzvah according to
the clear and many others you know how
we know it's talking about
CH all you have to do is examine verses
1 through 10 of verse of chapter 30 and
you will see that it's talking about Shu
listen to what it says in look at number
two in the
sourcery
30:2 and you will return to the Lord it
says you're going to return we're going
to return physically to the
land and that means we have returned to
Hashem as well and we did chuva how else
we going to get back to the land verse
10 again when you obey the Lord your God
and when you return to the
Lord so verses in chapter 31-1 are
talking about CH then when verse 11 pops
up and it says this commandment just
think it's obviously talking about the
same subject matter as the first 10
verses so we're going with that go back
into the
Hebrew it
says it's actually not hidden from you
that's how we're translating nif late
it's not hidden from you and if it's not
hidden from you actually it's quite
known to
you there is no excuse to
say basically the excuse could have been
well I didn't know the God right what
did the other religion say there's no
way to get to the father he's way too
there but the Jew like just
instinctively knows you do something
wrong you fix it we're here to make a
tun on ourselves and the world we're
likee to the Nations but we have to
first fix ourselves so there's no excuse
to think even to think that God doesn't
accept uh the cha of the
Sinners you the Jewish people know about
chva more than all the nations just
think about what Christianity
says right they say we can't do it I'm
I'm going to say the words they say but
we don't believe that that you need to
go through somebody else in order to get
to heaven we are isra yes we go straight
to God okay and We Know It And listen to
this there is a mid if you look on the
English short sheet you look in number
three on page
two this measure says there were things
that were cre created before the world
now we have a counter a famous counter
missionary in our room here right and so
one of the things they say right these
missionaries these they say well they
quote the new test Testament what they
called that so it says something like um
before the world was the word like
they're actually hello we have a Zohar
right the Zohar says God looked into the
Torah and created the world so of course
the Torah was created created before the
world the Throne of Glory listen to the
seven things that were created before
the world number one the Throne of Glory
number two the Torah the word the temple
the Heavenly Temple because Yim has two
y right there's a there's a y there
which implies plural there's two
Jerusalem there's a Heavenly Jerusalem
and there's an Earthly Jerusalem and
their
muan
they muan let's leave it like that and
what else the ancestors of the world
we're talking about something I have no
idea and number five is Israel Israel we
were created before the world was
created the name of the Messiah and
number seven truva so let's just try to
imagine before the world was created
without all the chaos with all without
all the noise without all the
disturbances and distractions you had
Israel and you had repentance so we the
Jewish people knew repentance intimately
alone in the world right before the
world we knew we knew repentance
intimately uh the Mish brings down two
verses referring to um how do you know
that Israel was created before the world
so it says in Psalms
742 remember your congregation this is
davik speaking to God which you acquired
of
old
you acquired from Kim is like primortals
created
and another verse uh regarding
repentance how do we know repentance was
before the world it says in Psalms King
David chapter 90 verse 2 and
3 before the mountains were born before
the world was created Hashem already
said you return Humanity to Contrition
and say repent you Mortals T and that
human being should already have this
concept of repentance going back into to
the clear what do we see exactly what we
just
said that
is that both these entities what we call
the Jewish people and this concept of
chva preceded the
world if that's if that's the
case so when God created chuva this
concept of repent
you already existed as a nation but also
as
individuals and if the nations would
require which apparently they do this um
you know edging on to do chuva you know
what anve was a perfect example yonah
was supposed to go and speak to the
Nations do you know why he was hesitant
he ran away he didn't want to go the
whale the whatever the big fish
swallowed him
up what was he
thinking that the Jewish people I've
been going to the Jewish people and
telling them to do trua and they're not
listening to me I'm going to go to the E
goam and they're going to listen he knew
they were going to listen and that would
look really bad for the
Jews how did he know they were going to
listen the leader the leader of nve the
king of nve was none other than pharaoh
if you look at the the the Hebrew text
the song of the sea the whole story of
the of it says everybody except one
everybody meaning he himself Pharaoh
himself was
saved and so he knew the god of Israel
he knew the god of Israel so he's in
inve if yonah would have come and said
hey the god of Israel says to do cha
this guy would have said all my people
you better get in line because I know
this guy he don't play he don't play
around okay
so so here you have this case where the
non-jews had to be Ned into
doing you don't need as much it's not
required to to edge you on so much
because you guys know what truva
is that the whole secret of chuva it's
intimate to you and it's revealed to you
already from then meaning from
primordial times before the world was
even created
the the verse says it's not hidden from
you it's not in heaven lore that you're
going to
say who's going to go after for us and
to the heavens
and is going to take it for us by saying
that what we're going to say what God
doesn't need us to go into his Temple
and to trample his Courtyards anyone
who's a sinner or even bitter of
spirit who's going to go up to heaven
and ask from Hashem basically if he's
going to accept TR from us we already
know we're intimate with trva we know
that hem will accept our
tra this is a either fundamental
principle or a secret that is well known
to every Jew every Jew knows that truva
is
accessible the clear
continues or perhaps it's referring to
what was reset earlier in verse two
God says you're going to return all the
way up until God now if you're going to
say and I think we all have a certain
sense of I'm going to say low
self-esteem shame perhaps who are
we if you're going to say when it says
it means if you're going to think
mistakenly if you might say this but
it's a mistake to say it
if my sins they are so off they they
perverted to the point that hashem's
presence is went up from below that's
where we are we're in
the right we're Sinners and he had
enough of us so he went up no longer
involved in our world if you would say
such a
thing so okay what's it going to help
I'm going to go and make every effort to
be right to try to fix myself to be a
more decent human being but what's it
all worth he's Gone Gone With the Wind
no no remnant of him that's a big
mistake that's how we think I'm the one
and it's true I'm the one who caused
Hashem to depart from this world
so he's even further up I have to go
even further to to have a relationship
with him I want to mention before we go
on if you look in number five on the
source sheet in Mal
3:7 from the days of your fathers you
have departed from my laws and have not
kept them God says return to me and I'll
return to you in
Hebrew so it's it's it's say symbiotic
relationship is that the word it's not
just about me returning when I return He
also
returns okay I have a friend his last
name is
shivu and it's based on this his last
name not first name and so go back into
the clear we ask this
question it's like going to take a great
effort I have to go up to the heavens
and and come back to him if that's the
case Nowa has two meanings it either
means hidden as we've been using or it's
amazing and
wondrous
so if that's the case then I'm really
amazed I'm really a wonderment what it
means
the how am they ever going to return to
this to the spirit of hem that's why it
says it's not hidden from you see the
word and is the same root but it has
different meanings it's not hidden from
you even from you it's not either hidden
or it's not too hard it's not a a
wonderment that this you can actually do
tra all the way to
hasem it's not required that you go all
the way it's m miraculous you don't have
to you don't have to make the effort to
go all the
way all you have to do is make the
effort you have to prepare your heart
open your heart to return and then what
happens then Hashem will turn around and
he will return to
you like we saw in I'll just read it
again God says you return to me and I
will return to you all you have to do is
begin the little
bit and then we go to the next
paragraph As the verse
says it's not too far from you since K
tell us in gamor Yuma 86b you'll see
this on number four in thei basically
you have a question how do you know
you're about to sha how do you know that
you accomplished right so the first
opinion is R Yehuda and he basically
says that the same thing came to you and
you separated from it you didn't do it
you might have done it the first time
that's when you sinned and then it comes
again to you and you don't sin that's
how you know you're about CH but then he
comes back and he
clarifies Isa by the way I just want to
make sureo Isa we're going to mean it's
just an example okay so let's go through
it
slowly how do you know you you've
accomplished your ch
that certain circumstance right you're
passing by that pizza store with a
pepperoni and it just smells so could
and the first time unfortunately you
went in so now you're you you have to do
cha second time you walk
by you hold your nose and you go by or
you walk to the other side of the street
or you just make sure you don't walk in
whatever it is you don't do the same
mistake again
demonstrates or he actually goes into
more detail and he
says meaning the
same uh
desires the same
place is and the same woman this is just
an example to clarify the situation we
can all use our imaginations to
understand what that
means now the big question is like this
does it really mean what he just said
I'm going to give you you some insight
when it
says it's like spoon feeding you guys a
little bit where where did the sin take
place it took place in the heart in the
mind that's where it started and
therefore when it says H we're going to
see how the CLE car is going to describe
in the heart we're going to cleanse our
hearts now if you thought it meant the
same situation all like lined up exactly
same woman same place same opportunity
if you like all the windows closed
yeah if you thought that you had to buy
a ticket back to Hawaii or wherever it
was that you were maana with that
particular woman or you did that
particular sin you might think oh my God
I have to go back over the sea to do it
again cuz I was there the first time
you're going to give up all hope of ever
doing true of it because you're going to
realize there's no way I'm going to be
able to fix it to go all the way whether
it's time money uh to be in that same
place that I originally sinned
in perhaps even time has
passed people will give up any hope of
doing ch
so don't be mistaken it doesn't mean
that everything has to line
up that's why it says in it's not like
what you were thinking but
rather the P says this matter is close
to you it's
where what do we mean
by now we're not like any of those
religions they go and they have to go
into a booth and talk to a person we
talk to Hashem the Vio takes Place
between us you know the
word is actually right prayer actually
means self inspection reflecting on
yourself and examining your own self
that is what teila is just so you know
you don't want to get stopped by the
police where it says ple on the side
that's like heavy investigation felony
investigation perhaps so think
about is really investigating yourself
it's
self-reflective and what
about what does it mean in your heart
hopefully when we do the wrong thing we
have what we call Kata regret these are
the main ingredients in cha admission
you know in the 12-step programs you all
know about 12-step
programs I admit that I am powerless
over something I admit I have a problem
without going to that first step there's
no way you can you can be healed right
you know about 12-step programs this is
step one admission to yourself number
two here you
have
regret okay there's no change without
regret if you're happy and you're
content and you're satisfied with your
behavior even though everyone around you
isn't then you uh you need medication I
mean you really need that you need
help so it would be enough you it's not
far from you it's close to you in your
mouth and in your hearts and this should
be
enough remember we're talking about has
to be in the same place where did the
sin take place within your your system
you know you hear these ideas like it
resonates and meditation people you you
know to just be like at peace with
yourself you know that you upset
somebody I mean you went through it in
your head did I didn't I was it me was
it them dot dot dot you have to take
every
night before you go to sleep who did I
wrong okay here you go have to take you
want a business to prosper you take
stock if you have no idea what's selling
what's not selling how you going to be
have a successful business well you have
to think of yourself you Jews have to
think of yourself as a business and you
want it to succeed you take stock what
works what doesn't work what am I doing
right what am I doing
wrong every night before you go to
sleep in the 12-step program they make a
heavy duty I think it's like two steps
you know making a a chart making a list
of my mistakes and then going about and
figuring out how to fix them so here you
have it was the heart that perverted or
was perversed for
you it's the very same place the heart
that made the mistakes it's the very
same place the heart where the tikun and
the chuva is going to happen and what
does rebbi nman say famously if you can
break it it can be right if it can be
broken it can surely be
fixed there is never
any giving up of hope there's any
there's no despair in this world
now we understand what it means in the
same place right the same place means
the
heart don't think that when it says the
same woman rather
it's these words are Aramaic it's
basically saying was just use an example
it's just for clarification
purposes the prime idea of doing TR is
not dependent on anything external like
that woman or the the pepperoni pizza
not to equate women with pepperoni pizza
but anything that you desire a lot so
it's it comes from the
inside the says there are some that
say regarding this idea of repentance
which means like this regarding this
idea of repentance from the aspect that
Hashem is so high he really is so high
and that um this Chua seems to be just
like beyond our imagination I mean how
can it be it's so maybe even separate
from him because he either it's hidden
from him or it's just too beyond our
imagination well guess what think about
like
this any any husband who divorces his
wife this is this is
a a man divorces his wife it's a mitzvah
for him to marry her again provided she
didn't get remarried so once she
remarries he cannot take her back okay
so this is kind of like our relationship
with hasem we have Ten Commandments
there's five on each tablet and they all
match up one matches with six two
matches with seven I'm not going to go
through them all but number two is do
not have any other gods and number seven
is do not commit
adultery so we committed adultery with
God in a certain sense when we were
maana with other
gods okay that's how we're going to view
this every any husband who divorces his
wife
he shouldn't take her after she was
remarried she was married to another
person how can the king who is so mighty
Ram V Hashem is a m r v how can he who's
so mighty and all great so big and so
high how can he ever come close to the
people who
sinned we turned away from
him we went and we worshiped other
gods which is more than just worship we
were zanu we were basically in a
relationship in intimacy with other
gods we're now going to look at it from
our perspective who are we
low it's not hidden from you Al now keep
this in mind we are created in the image
of
God we're unbelievable human
beings however we have two sides to us
we have a spiritual side and we have a
physical side so we are physical beings
look what it says in Psalms
10314 you'll see this a number seven he
knows our creation King David he knows
he's talking to God he knows our
creation he remembers that we are dust
Z he knows that we have all these
Temptations not the Angels the Angels
don't have any free will the Torah is
not for them the Torah is for human
beings that have fa fault um you know we
um we we make mistakes the angels Don't
Make Mistakes we have we make business
we have Tas they don't have any of
that from the fact that we are partially
physical and then it says in in coelis
that's Ecclesiastes
7:2 look at number seven for there's no
righteous man on Earth who does not who
does good and Sins
not nobody is is perfect we all make
mistakes and hasem created us and he
knows
that then the Creator himself who's more
fitting who's more Roy who's more
fitting it's a logical outcome of course
he's going to re accept your
tra maybe that's exactly why it
says you don't have to be so righteous
it's not in heaven you're down here on
Earth
right the Torah is not found or Tru is
not found by the uh host of heavenly
Angels but only in you you human
being
may we are born from the I usually use
the word soil here I'll use the word
dirt I mean we were created from the
Dust
no from our aspect yes Hashem is
allmighty and all great very high but he
will accept our Tru that he created us
he knows who we
are I want to go on to part two since
we're basically in this is the last
class for a while could be the last
class until after the hug so in
Deuteronomy chapter 16:30 akos these are
a lot of the laws that have to do with
yum kipur in the temple and how the K
what he did for is he was an
intermediary to a certain extent in the
temple to atone for the Jewish people
and it says for on that day he shall
affect atonement you notice it's a
capital h e it's not the co it's Hashem
is affecting atonement for you to
cleanse you before the Lord you shall be
cleansed from all your sins so in the
Hebrew
and then the important words I want you
to see is
hasem now when we
say what does that mean in front
of it can also mean before right you get
in line in Israel you want to make sure
that you're before somebody everyone
knows where where you're holding so I
need right I'm before you it could mean
not just before physically in front of
but before
prior so basically read it like this
before God cleanses you you have to
cleanse yourself let's look at it like
that at least let's the clear is
implying that let's look at the clear
it's the other side of the page 515
through
516 do you understand it's we say the
day itself cleanses you for sure it does
but but if you do nothing you don't do
truva you don't do any action to repair
your character how's it going to cleanse
you it only cleanses those who have
repented in guruma look at number nine
on the S sheet
85b I underlined two things I only want
to look at the two underline it says the
Yon for atones for sins when it
companied with repentance
so we discussed this in the morning
Shear it's not so simple
but the next underlined part says yam
does not atone until you appease the
other person so to a certain extent
there's going to be sins between you and
God and there's going to be sins between
you and man so there's also heavier sins
and there's lighter sins so it could be
that the the um
the that scapegoat the goat that goes
out it could be that even on yum Kip for
the lighter sins that you don't do chuva
for it could be that that would have an
effectual atonement if even if you
didn't do chuva but what we're going to
see is the difference between the
individual and the nation and that's
going to play a huge part in the way we
look at other
Jews so the cleard with that in mind the
cleard
says hasem before God atones for you
before God cleanses you
the person is required to what to
cleanse themselves
mik from right A through Z Soup To Nuts
from the bottom of your foot to the top
of your
head from all of the impurity of the sin
that you made that's why it says
we don't know how to translate it before
the Lord your
God meaning time time
before Oh guys we're going to learn the
Zar he the cleard says I greater than
this I found in the Zohar on verse
1932 again we're in Leviticus 19:32 look
at number 10 you shall rise before a as
we know every bus in Israel if you read
if you if you get a chance to ride the
bus right right before an older person
you have to stand up usually it's the
front seats or maybe one by the door but
the idea is that when you see an older
person you have to give them your seat
you have to stand up for them there's a
lot ofas you can see in Rashi on there
it's not so simple exactly what where
and how basically there is an opinion
that only someone who has acquired
wisdom WID them right first to Great
wise men and not guilty of transgression
meaning stand up for righteous people
not necessarily stand up for for uh for
not so righteous people um so let's try
to concentrate we have a lot of music we
have a
simp somebody donated to ER and they're
making a big party so means
L that's we saw and the verse
is before right when he when when that
older person is within within you know
68 feet of you you stand up
already now even though that's what the
verse implies that's a there's a deeper
meaning that a
person has to stand up meaning they have
to wake up from their sleep we're all
sleeping we have to become really truly
woke not like they they use that work
woke word in America that sorry to say
we don't understand but woke to be truly
awake to return to hem
so do it quickly and
before before rash before Yip now is the
time
to to
become to become purified through
tra and once you cleanse yourself Hashem
finishes the job then you'll become
completely clean through the atonement
process the clear
continues so there's a continuous
warning there's he's going to come and
warn us again regarding this idea of
chuva within the innermost part of your
being your
heart that part of you is before
God that thing that is within the
control or handed over to your heart
only Hashem knows nobody else
knows but we have to be careful you know
what it's like a chameleon a hypocrite
hypocrite right a a chameleon they
change colors depends right what does it
say in the New Testament we have a I
mentioned we have a famous counter
missionary here I think Paul says you
know when I go to these people I act
like that when I go to them I act like
that okay
soim they hypocrites
so what do they do they fast a lot they
increase all kinds of afflictions upon
themselves they pray a
lot so the people with hold of them as
oh yeah they're so
righteous and it's similar to what it
says in Mish Proverbs
30:12 that they U they want to appear as
if they are pure look on the last page
Proverbs
30:12 a generation that is pure in its
own eyes but is not cleansed of
its means it's
filth
right it's still very dirty on the
inside that's why the verse
says you should cleanse yourself before
God because only God knows um you should
do trva before hasem only he knows okay
the lastor Yuma which we already we
looked at but we looked at it very
quickly
um what are what are we going to be
atoned for Hashem he'll forgive us for
the sins we did against him very easily
he's not bother human beings he's more
concerned about when you upset another
human being and that other human being
could hold the resentment God's not
going to hold the resentment but the
human being will let's look what it
says that's what you're going to be
cleans
from very
nice but when it comes to human
interaction and real sins are are have
taken place so that's going to be a
problem okay NE now you have to
understand this is going to be about
Unity how do we view ourselves as Jews
individually I'm just I happen to
practice Judaism on whatever level I'm
on or I'm part of the Jewish Nation
through all their ups and downs now we
deal with a lot of converts and we tell
them look I get it you see the truth you
think this is true you can go ahead and
live on your own as a as but you want to
convert that means you're joining the
Jewish people with all our warts with
all our sins with all the stuff we go
through and we're persecuted people they
want to kill us you sure you want to
join us
and you know what they do they do they
make that decision it's crazy right so
what does it say over here in Leviticus
chapter
16:33 and he shall effect atonement upon
the holy of holies and he shall affect
atonement on the tent of meetings and
he's going to affect atonement on the
Jewish people upon all the people of the
congregation but listen to the Hebrew
the so what does that imply
okay the only time is when we are
united to become
United when we somehow shoulder we take
responsibility we feel an obligation to
serve
Hashem then Hashem will receive our
repent our
CH and not at a time where we are
divided where our hearts are not
together the way the world works
is here you go my first okay I owe you
100o that on y the custom is that we go
around or maybe before already in El by
the time before rashash for sure during
the 10 days of chuva what are we doing
we're going around to the people that we
think we might have harmed if we really
are are sorry and we ask for forgiveness
everyone's asking from each
other well guess what happens we're
human beings you know what happens the
next day we forget about it what forget
about it but what did Moses do on the
day following yam kipur he gathered all
the people remember in parous yro where
yro sees Moses judging all the people
and he says Moses crazy my daughter is
married to you you know she get never
gets to see you and I think you you're
spending too much time you know why
don't you work out a a system for the
you know the J the Judiciary make uh
judges so what day was that look
at
number 13 this is parti right the yaka
Moshe kadas B Israel he he gathered
everyone together look at Rashi he send
them on the day after yam kipur now the
clear explains why yum so we had this
idea that we sinned for the golden calf
we sinned and then eventually we were
forgiven there's a whole series a
timeline so in the 17th of thas that's
when we worship the golden calf and the
luas were broken 40 days he prayed for
us Moses prayed for us and on the first
of el God says I forgive them come up
and 40 Days Later was yam kipur the day
after yam kipur that he Moses then tells
everybody now you have to all have to
give reach deep down in your pockets
give to the temple to the
Tabernacle but you cannot give stolen
goods you're talking about giving to the
temple so they were going to give some
of their own stuff how can you give your
stuff you don't know if it's yours maybe
someone else has a claim on it so here's
the time anybody has a problem they have
a suffix they have a question if they're
the owner so how could when did this
ever happen I mean we're talking about
we just left Egypt people were stealing
and people were having questions of
ownership yeah remember that mishna two
people bend down to pick up a Talis and
each one says the Talis is mine the
other one says the Talis is mine and
they have to swear guess what happened
at the sea a lot of gold washed up and
people bent over it to pick up the gold
and imagine two people bending over at
the same time each one thinking they got
it first so they said this is in doubt I
don't know if it's mine I don't know if
it's yours we can't donate it so the day
after yam Kipper when God said to Moses
Moses said to the people you have to
donate anybody who had any question of
ownership had to come forth and so that
was the deal then so it was the day
after yam kipur but what is it that you
had such Shalom on yum kipur everyone
just loved each other
and now it's the next day you're about
to go back to work you're about to go
back to the nut whatever they call it
the nitty-gritty the the Geral wheel
what's it called the rat race the rat
you know what this is a way to extend
Shalom have court you think of court is
a dreaded day I have to go to court well
not a Jewish court because the Jewish
Court's only going to really work today
anyway when two people agree to go to
court and whatever the outcome is will
be be so it's called peace you're trying
to bring peace so this was a way to
extend the peace from yum kipur and
bring it in bringing it into the rest of
the year look how the clear expresses
it we
are and like three lines up from the
bottom four lines up from the bottom
which
say so the day after Yip Moses gathered
everyone together in order to create
peace friendship amongst each other
having like one unified
nation in order that should extend to
the rest of the
year right we already said that the
angels have no problems it's the it's
the human beings you know you do
business you have to write a contract
right away ah have to have this in the
can't have that in the contract let's
change the conditions right as soon as
you're dealing with other people you're
going to have tests trials tribulations
and possible
arguments that's why Moses sat down to
judge the people the day
foll the whole idea is to bring everyone
together in
unity and this way we can end eventually
enter the land of Israel uh in peace but
basically the idea is to create that
structure for
peace the last few
lines what do we call Y it's called
Shabbat Shabbat it's actually called
shabas of shabas now in Hala it means
it's not it's not greater than Shabbat
right so you basically have uh like alot
so Shabbat has seven alot so let's just
go through it the the levels you have
three on a weekday three alot on a
weekday on Roes which is the next level
up you got
four
talking you have five alot y r is six
and then shabas is seven so it's called
shabas of chabas you may think it's
higher than shabas but it's not but what
is unique about it there is going to be
a um
a lesson here to be taught as the CLE
says so onur you're not doing business
and you're basically sitting and that's
a great reason for peace remember we
said when people are involved in
business you get in fights or get in uh
arguments or let's say tension right
well guess what it's called shabas of
shabas it's actually a double says the
keita so in Yer you have a double type
of
resting I'm going to ask leor for the
word hya but understand from before I
asked her that every human being has I
think hya here is talking about noise
agitation and distraction Anda sometime
of movement which is external and
internal we're all in involved with
either distractions or noises I like the
word agitation externally and internally
externally so obviously when you're
working you're you're using Machinery
whatever you're using your arms your
legs you're using your body you're using
all kinds of vessels that's the external
what about the P so obviously on the
inside
so internally and I like this expression
you are what you eat what you eat and
drink turns into your blood and that
blood then turns into your flesh I mean
eventually into your organs and your
flesh it be you are what you eat you're
eventually going to become you whatever
it is you put inside your body and so
since your body is
ultimately um affected by what you eat
this is your tyan
you to be careful what you eat because
that can arous certain
Tyas but what happens on chabas on a
regular
chabas the only thing on chabas truth is
really is a peaceful thing on the inside
but at least on chabas you're only
resting on the outside but on this
particular day cuz you're fasting then
you're
really because there's nothing that's
turning into like we eat beautifully on
I hope right another nobody's forcing
you nobody's forcing you right to eat
really good food on shabas so but still
it's heavy and it's going to turn into
your blood which again it says the neish
that's your lower there's five levels of
your soul the lowest level of your soul
is your neish which is in the blood so
that's probably where all the tias come
from so on on yam Kipper you're not
eating and you're not drinking
a on yum Kipper there is no eating or
drinking that's according to the CLE car
why it's called a double shabas there's
a shabas on the external there's a
shabas on the internal and with that I
just want to wish everybody really
mamish I enjoyed learning with you this
year I hope you'll all come back next
year um it really helps me when you're
all here and we discuss things
afterwards uh we really are praying not
only for ourselves right it says if you
pray for others you will be answered
first we're not doing it because we're
trying to be answered we really are
concerned about the Jewish Nation uh
we're in Israel see but there's a lot of
shearing people watch from rabbis all
over the world but we're here man we're
here and we're experiencing and what do
we have going on downstairs
simp there's a t there's such joy and I
I don't know how we're all going to you
know live up to whatever Hashem wants us
on simply store this year because it's
going to be very emotional for many of
us on many levels so hopefully uh God
will guide
us how we're going to
celebrate in a real celebratory fashion
at the same time whatever growth we need
to go through it's even hard to describe
we have no idea it's like the
unknown but we do know that what they
did they turned one of our most what's
the word our most joyous days into a day
of
mourning and we pray every morning in
the
sh before zra that Hashem will turn our
morning into back into Joy so that's
what we're looking forward to and with
that I wish everyone not just a good
chabas but a sh you should all be
written inscribe in The Book of Life
immediately as sikim and if not we're on
this together bonim will experience this
through the 10 days of trva and come out
on the other side Victorious amen
