Simchas Torah - Just us and Hashem

Hi, this is Deowski. Welcome to the Rabi Alowski show and we are continuing with our holiday special la. We're just doing little bits and pieces on ideas and this is going to be on Terrace. Now this is a little tricky because you know I do have a following outside of I just met two people who we we uh I have a little sh of my own and we made a very large uh you know minion for Shanim Kipper. We had this of having Shapiro Kazen and his father. They were theim and myself and late Kellerman who Davins by us also you know set over drushes and we had close to 200 people and it was really something very special. So at the minion there were two people there from South Africa and they say yeah of course we follow the show. When I was in England there were people follow the show people from from all over who are it's amazing. Listen to this. So if I speak about you see in we did it right we do it the old Torah way there's just one holiday and you have to combine what they call which it all becomes one day yeah and it's turned into two days and so what they do is they take all the religious stuff and put it on so they get and they get and all that stuff soar They can just party. Yeah. We It's a whole different thing because we go into the hakus and the singing and the dancing and then wow what a contrast and then and then they come in and we do yeah it's it keeps the day in its context but if it's two separate days so both ideas are important. What is and why wasmini chosen to be there's no in the yeah there was two different minimum in the time of the gam there were some people who would finish the entire Torah in one year like we do and there were people who would finish it in three years threeear cycle laning was much shorter and whatever they finished they would celebrate that they finished the Torah so the gonim said we're going to move to a situation where everybody finishes the Tyra and we're going to make where we finish the Tyra on test because you can really start anywhere you want and finish any place you want right doesn't make a difference obviously when you went for three years you weren't starting shabas you know in the second year so uh so they started it here and they finished it here why here why is this the day because what's as rashi says we have seven days of sukus and for seven days we sit in the suka and we are surrounded on six sides four walls up in the down and us in the middle number seven and we take the seven dollar minimum I know that sounds a little counterintuitive but you have one lul one as three had to ras it's seven and we wave them in the six directions with us in the middle and we walk around every day and on the seventh day we walk around seven times and then we come to and how does Rashi describe it says During sukus you brought shim par 70 uh bowls 70 is just seven to the next level right we bring these 70 par and it's uh for all the holum and hashem says when it's all over just me and you that's just me and you this day is just for me and cla to have an intimate day together we bring one part just for cla yourself and we spend that day celebrating with Kadesh and the mush I like to give is you go to a and everyone gets all dressed up and everyone gets all fixed up and everyone has this you know and they're dancing and they're celebrating and everything's wonderful. Very often the family doesn't get to eat. Uh somebody told me once uh after their they had an afternoon they saw him that night in the pizza shop because they weren't even flinging. You know what I mean? Have a chance to eat dancing and you're and you're celebrating you're talking to all of those wedding relatives who only show up for weddings they've never seen otherwise and everyone has to explain. No this was you remember I don't know if you remember Sades so this he was his brother and his brother had and then I was like this that's who he is. Oh, masle to see you, you know. And so then the family comes home, right? The we got rid of them. But the rest of the family comes home and the women take off their dress dresses, you know, and put on their robes and they exhale for the first time the entire night cuz they had these things on, they couldn't breathe, you know, and everyone sits down and the caterer packed up the extra food and they put it all on the table. There's no fancy dishes. Everyone's just picking this is good. Did you have this? I didn't even have this. Oh, delicious. Where was this? This was at the point. I didn't remember this. You know that. And they're just talking the family. It's intimate. Do you remember this? Do you remember that? Oh, did you see so and so there? No, I didn't say. Oh, did you see that? He had this dance that answers. We're done. We're done with all the we dealt with the nations of the world. We dealt with everybody. Now it's just us and that's why the decided to make it because it's the day when it's just us and celebrating that we are [Music] you know within that's what it says in his I'm one and you're one and the Torah is one and we are all together on that is The I don't know why has slowly been tainting all of our happiest days. Yeah. We know what happened. What happened to Maron and all the people who got killed? Why? Why do that to Lag? Yeah. the the Arab Purim in Tel Aviv, this terrorist blew himself up in a mall, killed a whole bunch of little kids getting their costumes, getting ready for for Purim, you know, cast a pale. But they tell a story. I saw this in pink is the safer where this fellow during the inquisition when he got exiled he said you took my wife you took my children you took my home you took everything I had but you'll never get me to stop loving you and this we have to reach down deep inside of ourselves and say no matter what happens it's us and there's Hashem and there's a Tyra and that is what we will dance with. That's what we will celebrate. Everyone should have a beautiful Y.
