Rinat Chaim: Set Up A Light For The Son of Yishai - Your Anointed with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

Heat. [music] Heat. [singing] [music] [singing] >> [music and singing] [music and singing] >> Everybody, welcome back to the Madrash. Welcome home to Torah. We are in the sift series. It's called Reusim by Rabbaim Freedellander. Rabbi Kim Freellander famous Mishk in in Maheli in Panovich. Okay. Now this book is specifically about the nyim the prayers the and of course we started in and we said wow you know what just like we're praying on rashash shana for the whole year everything that we're going to discuss is relevant the whole year. [laughter] It's relevant the whole year. As you will notice from the sheets I gave out, we're starting on KV. [snorts] Okay, towards the bottom where it says we're asking Hashem, please set up arrange for us the light. The light the nare the lamp for who? for the son of Jesse, Ben Yeeshi, you're anointed. The question that's going to be posed, why don't you just mention David's name outright? Why go around and say the son of Jesse? We're afraid to say David, but it is based on a P into the P says Hashem right I have set a light or a lamp for my anointed. This is our is based on these words. We're asking that Hashem should set up, make ready. We're going to learn a little bit of Hebrew is to prepare. and Hashem should prepare, make ready, the hash, the influence, the the flow and the light and the um spiritual radiance that shines from the kingship or right the kingship of the house of David and the king Messiah Melik Mashiach. Many people heard this David could not build the mikdash because he had blood on his hands. Right? Isn't that what it says? And what do we think? What do we think? Of course, the negative that he was in battles and he killed people. That's all true. But one of the ideas that he had blood on his hands was he was Moira. He actually pused hala for women, for men, for couples. When a woman is in a menstrual cycle and there's a color of the blood that she's not sure, she's sure that no problem. She knows he either is or is not an issue when it comes to marital relations. But if there's a doubt, she goes to her. But guess what? Everyone wanted to come to Davlik. You know what? Do is an expert. Yeah. in looking at um at the blood of Mida and he knew and he was able to mir so many women to their husbands. He brought a lot of love to to Israel. Okay. So he was Moira Israel the Gmoran David said this about himself me my own hands are soiled with blood with the the residue of the womb the the blood that came out the remnants of the placenta even in order to make or judge uh pure the woman to her husband. This idea is something beyond our own comprehension. is beyond our ability to understand that when women have a question about their own home, right? How to run their home such as are they allowed to be with their husbands or not? If they couldn't find someone to ask, they would run. I mean, David was Gibbler. I mean, he was probably handsome, a redhead, but doesn't matter. He was stunning. He was the king. And they ran to King Davidot to pasin the proper way. What to do? Okay. Indeed. Correct. Israel, the actual duty, right? The roster. What are you supposed to do of the king of Israel? isra. Our king is supposed to guide us, okay, to instruct us according to the Torah. Not only those questions we'll say of national interest of things pertaining to the entire community but even maybe the seemingly inconsequential inconsequential questions of individuals personal matters shall this is what we're looking forward to the spiritual kingdom of King David and this is what we're requesting when we ask that Hashem should set up and arrange for the light of the son of Yishi your anointed now turn to the next page turn it over uh I'm putting the emphasis on right to arrange for us the light of the son of Jesse you're anointed and David's name is not mentioned Mara Like we mentioned above, see in the previous class we said that there's this slow growth of the horn. A horn doesn't pop out of the head all at once. It's stages. There's a process of the coming of Messiah and that's called growth. It's growth. I remember asking my my rebi burkowitz of you know like what's what's the thing we should all focus in on in our in our in our yiddish kite and he always said it's about personal growth right like the vagon says it's about tikunidos that's also a process you can't expect to be at sadic overnight also we have to work on our character we have to do or else what's the point you have to know what your good points are as well as the points that need to be fixed. But anyway, we actually said David's name that there should be this outgrowth of the horn, the strength. Karen means strength even though it means horn, but that's the strength of the bull of the shore. Well, [snorts] that's the question. How come David's name is not mentioned? It's possible to answer. You know that it says the son of Jesse without mentioning David's name specifically or explicitly is a simulo. This is a concept. It's a simmon that the king Messiah David he is um shall we say like he's an ego. There is a negation of who? Of his ego of selfu as if he doesn't even count as if he's not there. Um in the idea that what the fact that the Torah is spreading, right? the idea we our job our job as Jews and for certainly the the the the duty the tatk of mel mashiach and melik is to spread the Torah we said he has to walk around with a safer Torah people going to ask him questions he has to live it and he has to be able to answer questions the idea is in the fact that we're spreading the Torah and the Torah the light of Torah and the will of God therefore the ani the me with the olive not oni ani the I the ego anonym A has to somehow disappear. It's a big, you know, the bigger the bigger you are, the the the less you have to work on yourself. The more you have to work on yourself. Mosar, that's moorim that the goal of the king that really it's our ours as well. He's just an example. He's only going to give over to the future generations whatever he received from his rebi whatever he received from his rabbanim like it says in kazal the very first mission of peravote the zakim what is the word transmit you know just a side point you know being an isor you know you have a choice you want to be religious or not religious right everybody has that choice. But I came to this yeshiva and I was like, "Wow, the choice is, do you want to be part of this everlasting eternal people? Do you want to be part of the misora? You want to have it and give it over to your children?" Right? It's a big choice. There's a lot of nonreligious Jews out there who have no idea about the wealth, the richness, right? The the value of what Jews have given to the world. They have an inkling of it, right? Sandy Kofax, I don't know, Albert Einstein, they have a few examples of Jews who have somehow benefited from how b they benefit society. But if you really look the Torah and learn, you know, look at Sadikim and realize, wow, we really have a really big treasure chest and we have a lot to give the world. But we have to accept oursel accept upon ourselves to be in this line of the ms. Anyway, Allah and whatever Moses received in that case and whatever King David receives whatever the king and you can be a king too in your own home right you will re whatever you receive you're going to give it over to the next generation your children and if you don't have any children your students right and therefore you [snorts] are like kind of removed there's no place to have this feeling this ego egotistical feeling of I am somebody. It's true. You you have to say the whole world was created for me on one hand and I am nothing but dust and ashes. There has to be a balance. You are so important. The world couldn't exist without you. But don't don't let it get to your head, right? You could be a part of this eternal misora, this eternal transmission, transmitting this invaluable gold, diamonds, platinum. It's the it's the it's the wealth anyway. But you have to move you have to kind of remove yourself. We speak about a cle a vessel is a container and the thicker the walls, the less it contains. You can have two vessels from the outside that look the same. But guess what? Inside one has really thick walls and the other one it's sturdy enough but it has thinner walls. The walls are it can contain more. Right? Isn't that what you want to do? You want to contain more Torah, right? In order to give, be a full overflowing cup. Well, you have to thin out yourself a little bit. Okay? It's not me telling you this. Life will tell it to you, but the Torahem told it to you first. That's what it means. The David's name isn't even mentioned. And by the way, in the Hagada, Moses' name, okay, it's mentioned once, but it's basically not mentioned also. Okay, I want to go through the next paragraph and then we'll we'll end early. There are going to be various levels of joy um at the revelation of God's unity and his reign or his rulership. Now in the ding on yamipur it says three times. So we're now at the third we're looking forward right we're living in a life in a in an era where there's not a whole lot of honor given to the Jewish people or as you want to say Zionist right there's really no no separation. Reverend America wrote a book says I'm a Zionist. I'm a Jew. A real right his whole premise is forget religious Zionism, post Zionism, social Zionism. Zionism is defined by him as the yearning to come back to Eric Israel. It's real simple. It's not complicated. um that every Jew from time in memorial right from Abraham and onward and the Mcabes and all all of our history all we yearned was to come back to aris that's what makes you a Zionist okay okay so he says one day there's going to be a lot of honor given to Israel without any anti-semitism right today the world is quite full and when the Messiah is going to have some kind of rulership that's going to be complete on a physical level. Now physical means also temporary and a spiritual level which really means eternally as then what will be as we say the we say that the who are the righteous one they will see and be joyful and the isharim the the upright ones will rejoice. You see the difference between uh sim and gila okay and the pious ones will exalt in song that's what we say all these will be privileged they'll merit to see messiah the giloem and to witness in the revelation of the unity of god right on that day his name will be one. He will be one. His name will be one. Of course, he's one now. But the PK is referring to when everyone will recognize it. Can you imagine living in a world where everybody recognizes one? Hashem, you know, the God that's a Zionist, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacobsa. This is going to be an unbelievable um great happiness, a overwhelming happiness. Nevertheless, this type of has different levels. Even though everybody is going to see with the same eyes, everyone's going to see equally that Hashem is that God is one and his name is one. upon him. Nevertheless, each one will have his own deeper level of understanding than the next person. It all depends on how much you can attain your level of preparation. Each person has to prepare himself herself while we're still in this world. Once we get to the next road, we're kind of level off based on when I I'm going to explain it better. We're going to level off based on where we were at and how hard we were trying in this world. If we were really trying in this world, it's like a rocket. It'll continue to fly. If we were stagnant in this world, unfortunately, you're not you're not going to raise that very high in the world to come. And that's what he's introducing this idea. Now the bisman right we have free will now after Messiah comes when the world will the the world would be full of knowledge of God as the water covers the earth as the water covers the seabed there's we don't we won't accept converts anymore right there's no choice and even even chuva that people won't really be sitting at that point so there's the chuva you made up until that point is what really counts after that it's going to be So obvious with all your intensity of trying to raise yourself in this world, that's going to determine your um where you're going to be uh in the world to come. It's going but it will continue to rise according to the level that you were exerting in this world. It will be the same exertion or let's say growth. So if you were stagnant and there's a concept there's no such thing as stagnation in spiritual growth. You're either going up or you're going down. So the recognition and whatever you were able to grasp and understand after coming the coming of Messiah this is not just a one-time thing. There will be a continuous growth in the world to come from one level to the next and you'll be able to understand and grasp even greater greater understanding like theon writes in on on Job 3:22 he explains the he explains you know in Hebrew I mean, in biblical Hebrew that is, you know, there's like I think like 26 different names of joy or maybe 30 like Eskimos in in in Alaska and probably wherever in the near the North Pole, they have like 30 different names for snow because they need to know which snow is good for igloos, which snow is good for, you know, cooking, whatever, you know. Um, Jews have like 30 different names for joy. tells you a lot about the Jewish people. So Gila and Simka are two of the vers two of the words that we're using here. And he the only wants to explain the difference between Gila and he says it's something that happens constantly and extends a long period of time. That's gila simka is tiss whereas simka and simka is actually a very masculine thing by the way and men are always looking for something new something I learned recently but I just want to mention it and the sim that one experiences is based on something new and in psalms 1184 right we have this famous verse Right. We will rejoice and be joyful. What is that referring to? This gila that we're going to experience is is when we merit a privilege to to have this great pleasure from the shine of theina from the rays from the heat the of the splendor of theina which is constant and there's no break. It's just straight up constant. But in Kates. So like I mentioned is where something is new where he describes it as like a flowering something blossoming your Torah when you're learning Torah and you go deep and deep and you you hear novel ideas that's what aesh is you want to there's no b mash without a kdesh there's got to be something you're going to walk away with that you felt wow I scratched the surface I see a little bit deeper even it's just a um um nano of a of a of a of a scratch so tiny doesn't matter and the revelation hit to reveal the secrets the profoundity of the Torah which is endless a low case there's no end to it the shabos the Toraticates that when we get to Maba, the bliss, the anoo, the tanug, the on that we're going to be experiencing the world to come will be a constant um nosafe addition. It's going to constantly grow. What is our perceptions of our God and the depth of the Torah? That's going to constantly grow. It's like it's it's so profound. It's bottomless. There's no end. And every time that we add more uh more knowledge and we're going to know even more and more and what's going to happen is our own soul is going to yearn to grow. And it's going to grow, but it's going to yearn. And it's going to do what? It wants to cling to Hashem even more. And this is for eternity. And it's just going to continue for all eternity, growing and grow. Remember God there, he is infinite. We are finite. But once we enter that world, we're just going to be going towards that infinite place which is the light of God himself. So we'll continue this next week to and I hope you got a little bit of a glimpse for the safer and be interested to read it on your own. Anyway, have a a great week.
