Special Lag Baomer Zohar Shiur at Scheiner's Shul The Histalkus of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai

wasn't talic the last day of his life. He was [Music] holding and that's the before a while before it was also was always but then was by was the soi gile or he was Mala and that day that he passed away with his stalkus. But we want to get here a taste how it looked like. So we'll see the beginning and and also the end of the to get a little bit of feeling. I'll go in in English not in delution but that day was going to be from this world was whatever had to be. So they gathered together the whole tob and the house was full of people um um looked around and he saw he has a full house. He wasn't happy about it. So he cried. He said last time um was here and wasn't alive anymore but that last time was here and I wanted to he was sick then but and I wanted to pick a place wanted to so they gave more time should be able to prepare for the ganid and then the house was full of fire and no one and no one could come in. How could it be that now everyone is here? Opened his eyes. He sat and he opened his eyes and he saw a gillisha was there and the house is full of fire. No one was able to to be there and everyone went out. Everyone was there were there but everyone else get get out of there. So the I want should be here last time want um saw the Malik going after and wanted should be alive and didn't want the Malik to take him. So was goed that whoever belongs in his house could be there never ever not to get away from there and then Malik had to leave and now Shim is passing away so that that was also the time fork also. So one of the should be there should prepare himself for his stalkers. I believe it's the same day today. He said, "How good is for him? His okay said was happy again smiling." He said, "But where's the he noted his should be there?" And the went out. He brought everyone of his should come in to the sh. So they sat down picked up his hands, raised his hands and it was mow was happy was the last day of his life and and he said whoever was there but last here last time but could also be here or whoever not shouldn't be here. Okay. So now we had a small small everyone went out to he did also lot of here finished it offici whatever he had to finish we'll see you in a minute I give The is in par right after we're getting that we're getting after the week after we're getting said now is the time and I want I want to get up to the to the upcoming world to the giden I don't want to be I don't want want to be ashamed embarrassed there's a lot of that I wasn't migala till now and I have to beat mala in order and now I want to beat mala the was here I want to beat mala till now I kept it inside myself but now have to give a on it. Okay. Sim said exactly where everyone should sit. Want to skip a little bit here. He said that the is here and last time the came now is bigger. Now we have the of the is here and the sadik of the leave the ganid come here down to my to land. She said that his house wants a sadikim more than his own co. This is why nowam brought here not only push the sadikim are bigger. Then he said is here wasn't alive anymore. He's here. Afterwards he said is here wasn't alive anymore. And he said please prepare a plate. Make place for his father his father-in-law make place. He needs a where to sit and was afraid. Everyone has to. Then he said, All of the days I was um [Music] connected. So all of my life I was connected. No string is attached only to the forus nothing. So now comes back for me. The connection goes for and his case is for me. Then he started to be all of the sides is the [Music] whole we see in we see the love from the not a but do what we could learn out of it. So it says the light of the all of the worlds. How many rivers streams are are getting out from you? Everything is from from you from the to the the existence of everything is only on the Torah. All of the the biggest are are from from the Torah says further like like said what should I tell you? What should I say for you? I everyone you the beloved one from for every for everything who be able to to get from you should belong likes to one say play with you to have enjoy enjoy with you. Who who has the to of you from the to spoke of the Torah? Then he asked I'm asking you give me for me for all the Eden will be able to come for you. You shouldn't be ashamed. You shouldn't be embarrassed. Should be happy with us. And there's another kesh that if someone thinks that all the masses that we find in the zo in the to masses they don't get the the and the sus that there is even though we don't know the sus but at least to believe and to feel it that that we we're learning um um any p to have the feeling that what's going on here is push. Okay. So we see now there's a lot of Okay. I want to bring it down a little bit to us. What we should try to connect to this aava a little bit. So first of all we know we all know the mass of sham advice the whole story that was in a for 13 years I want to ask a simple question today we all know we're all ADHD and all of these different types of how could someone even though I don't want to say but for us how could a tak be someone should be in a m 13 years didn't have have clothes he was in in inside the the the the in the sand the whole day when it was D went out and then he was back. How could it be? How is it possible? 13 years. How could it be tak story here? Everyone wants to learn how is it possible? First I'll share the idea the if someone has this that we see here it's not a ml could be on a if someone is on a trip it's not a problem could be close but want to find it in the to so you have another shabas that's a famous in the beginning of speaks about When the they gathered together and they said the Torah will be forgotten from the hunger Don't be for bread. Have a lot of bread today. Let be enough water. Push it to listen to theem. That will be our thirst. Our hunger will be to seem brings down and then by the end said no. The Torah will not be forgotten from then gives a what means says what's in the beginning of it says that and the Torah will stay at forever. But we'll see soon a little bit more to adop people tried believe they were big people tried to do they didn't have So what's the mistake? Why did it And can't we know but says in Shabas that if they were in the middle of learning they weren't Don't Don't do it. But had the right to do it. also that not was such a big ma that when he was learning it didn't it wasn't to be power wasn't said there the malice of of of all of the different malas said lent my my to I have the best of the best of Raka tooken everything he was going around he was learning whatever he could I took out the best I have the best now I want to ask a we know says that We we we use it even but from the other side that means we don't pass is good for if we see here the the the godless of the whole all the when they spoke to was mish [Applause] And here we say how could it be then I'm going to finish up with one more and then we'll come to there's a famous But not only to live a life and everything only for their whole life was dedicated only for every everyone. If he wants really to to be only forem to serve as hem to know means and go straight and took off of himself and will help him have recently says forget forget of everything. So the said that cuz he says whoever is really mas to do it can do it. That means he passion even though you have to really be mas. Okay. But at least for today, let's try to have a glimpse at a and what what it means. Okay. So the says also all all of the he wants only one I want be connected to this that he wants now even though we know um but by the end of the game if someone goes with this he said didn't have no other nothing involved more only only straight to Hashem. If he gets How could it be? If he gets the the the real connection, the real aava real feeling that and he can when he feels it, he feels the connection. He feels what it means. He feels then It's not a kasa that he goes together from one side. He has to leave everything from the other side. It's easier to leave everything. I want to share and and and we know when we're dening there are a lot of kunas. the all of the so that's going higher and higher are going up connecting more and more and when we come to what what happens there where where is our is going higher and higher So there's a hik is called a special place. Let's call it let's call it the world whole world. This is what does it mean? The is impossible for us to understand what it means. But let's try to imagine that we're getting in a place is nothing else besides a and a is so tremendously big. There's nothing else. It's a that there's no place for any other aava. The aav feels more and more stronger and stronger. The the we the yearning the we have to know that the is the beginning of the is the first made to is our if you want to really connect to we have we could do it through the try to feel uh that we're giving it to Hashem. It's not it's for Hashem. It's connection to Hashem. But by that's a mater to a connection with the the T says I think in that when we are learning to we are all surrounded by the to getting the to inside ourselves. So connection. So let's imagine someone gets into the and he feels the more and more and he feels he's ready to give up everything for for for this aava and every other aava that he has in that tom is burnt away. Push it. It's there's no place for every anything. [Music] of that's a place where is going constantly that's one of that's a way off we have to go up we have to go through and that's what we are doing when we are saying when we are asking that you are the please of And what were what are we asking? There's nothing. There's no place for anything else. Only this is what everything what I want. We're only human beings and we're coming out. We're getting out of the we have other but at least when we're getting into this we are saying this when we try to connect more to this all of the other avers with o it's nothing it's brutal come such a m that really we're ready to give away our whole life dedicate our life for it for this mur. Imagine you get into the you see millions of oas you know that these are the oas created the world and oius means is much much more than than the world what the what are these oas these oas we are learning you're learning it to it's it's it's all of whatever we have are only of these oas but these are the beginning the for everything these are a connection to very hard to say it but whatever it means the the in the beginning of the majesties brought down in that enjoyed the this was his I know it was if it was it's not also that's and yes we are connecting to Hashem through these oas about the heart of you try to do whatever does did but it's not about doing it it's about feeling it when we are learning the to do it the it's not it's not about testing ourel we should try to get in this to this mat to I'm learning the push. This is what I'm doing. It's not I'm doing it. I I I I try to feel it. If it's only doing what did there's not it's impossible. We're all ADHD like like I started it's impossible. How how long could we force ourselves to sit and learn? But if you're getting if you could get try to get into this to this and feel the connection to Hashem we need the kabul is all for it but from the other side by the end we need there's no there's no to if there's no but then we need we need to get to to to is push it the connection to even can feel it to understand it to but by the end of the game then feels the connection that so now it's not a harsh did it was possible to to sit in that m for 13 years if it was hot there or cold there I don't know what happened in the summer the winter what but it wasn't the guy this could When do you take on went into um to learning there for two days in a row. They didn't eat, they didn't drink, nothing. They sat two days. They didn't eat. They didn't drink. They didn't know if it's day or night. Nothing. When they went out that y two days here. So said that's a in in for 40 days. We meant to I believe so meant to say that there's of being so connected to the to that mish there's nothing no distractions because the connection so deep connection it's not a connection of being strong and the best and and We see that as before. How could it be tak if was so big wasn't is not like it's like I have a pushed for it and I believe could all take a use out of this let's say for us I don't want to speak about but for us someone wants to learn he's learning a whole day and and if he doesn't have It's hard but he has an outlook by the end. One day maybe I'll be a big guru. So it's worth he knows. He goes through his hardships. He's learning. So that's that can help someone. I don't know for how long but it can help them push a little bit. But if the is not like him, we don't pass like this. He's a big and learn to his whole life gave away his life for the to but for is good not for that's not how how does it feel? So why am I doing it? So now let's now let's go further if and if you still don't get what does it mean? What happened now? That means it's his that is dedication for the to is so big. It's not it's not about even no one should know about him. He should learn the whole life. Give away the it's nothing. It's only about Hashem. He's connected to Hashem. He doesn't need to be good. Doesn't mean need to be a big nothing. Bush. It's a toy. It's one big connection from him to nothing more. Doesn't need anything more. It's such a deep deep such a deep devotion to their I think that the the lesson of is right. We don't need anything. Push it. Arise. What should I tell you? We saw before. What should I tell you? Everything is from you. I need anything. I need It's me. I'm I'm not part of the picture. I feel the connection. I feel the I feel the yearning. I'm entering this. You see that? That that that is also the push it. and getting in. We're not feeling it. Hopefully, yes, we should feel it. But whenever we feel it, experience the experience it looks says in the middle of learning. It's very hard to be in the Vikings, but you could be mastic a little bit for the Vikav. Give it a minute. Give it a minute. Thank you for I'm learning your I'm connected with you. My is connected. We are well whatever it means what I'm connected to you feel it enjoy it say get into this right this that's getting deeper and deeper in it bear everything off this that I have one I don't I don't need two one is enough this this is very very big. We see the last day of Shiman's life what was his daggers he had to finish off. I wasn't meal the I have to be at Mal. If not I'll I'll be embarrassed and als I'll I'll be embarrassed I have to do it. So the last day of his life he gave a we got a big mat the last day of's life the was there the sadik came there everyone wanted to be here I think but I think so that in in after tan was a dark 40 Y they were in the midb they didn't have from one side they didn't have really a lot they were in the oil in a tent didn't have a lot have the same clothes from the other side they didn't have any darkness also gave them they had what they needed they hadus they didn't know every day for for the next day they didn't know what will be this what the says how come after 30 years having month constantly how could be tomorrow will not be any month I don't know but it wasn't a sign but still to die I think that the closer we are coming to Msiah it's my personal my humble opinion let's call it the closer we come you see it that the infusa gets more and more for 50 60 years 80 years 100 years ago panas push it physical very hard physical work that was pusa that's was the way that someone had food today it's m differenting and maybe daggers there a lot of daggers But a lot of it's getting more and more less physical work getting it's getting more and more in a month of a deal and that's that's the way of having I believe so that push is preparing us to be a daya should be able to connect to him connect to his to be able to learn more hours. It's it's the let's say someone has to make a deal. It's the deal. The deal could be two, three deals a year. So it's not what is do the whole time. He hopes they deal understand. But by the end of the game, it's one deal that that did it. So the Muslim wants that we should be able to really connect more and more to him to have more time for him, more more lane and more to want to finish off howim finished when he finished the whole so it's kabul still but mad and he finished up with a pulik kisham tas So he touched what's the who's the in this holy light this holy he said he didn't say he was quiet and I was in the middle of writing and the Bible said I was writing. I didn't hear anything. I didn't pick up my my head cuz such a big light where was I couldn't lick I couldn't look at it. I I couldn't handle it. Couldn't couldn't look at it. [Music] passed away, stopped. So the whole day there was a fire in that room. No one could get to him. There was a fire around and they all fell on the floor and they were crying. Then the fire went away. this. He's not alive anymore. How is he? He was he had this was wrapped around I believe his talis whatever he's laying on his right side and has a he's laughing that that's the way passed away from this world and is says further they they were crying and called Mara. And he went into the to the in the of the maras. How how many are quiet today because of you? is speaking about you, is happy about you. He's praising you. It's good for him. in in the here also. How many passed away was such a gimm of here? I think what we could take out of it here a lot of a lot of zak but one of the zak spoke now pushet tried to to to connect to is a connection he tried to even if it's only minutes a minute here a minute there I'm connected there's no it don't take one minute this minute is only for learning. It's um what it could be that said so says that it's in he speaks about the from one of the once we know from the zor through we know that the whole is the whole connection to the wholeis is whatever it means. So now when you're learning you don't have why is the let's say someone is and after the and he doesn't have a yet he doesn't have a he doesn't feel any any future in the to but then he has wants to be become rich so he forgets about the to but if the connection to the are simple somebody connection nothing else involved we're only human beings but still there's deep deep connection that we could have we could build it up in ourselves the only I the only ask please give me the the should understand the stories has to be able to connect. Please make it. It's impossible to learn the if you don't if you don't feel it could feel it on a lower level, a higher level. But you have to feel it. You have to feel the the theas and because it says you have to feel the you have to feel we have to yearn for it. We have to build it up. Push it. Yes, we could. So said through me the I'll open for you the through the I opened up to you what what what it means or how how what a connection we have then what happens and through my what I want to say through my will not be forgotten help able to connect to such such a And this should burn any other see the fire say take everything is burnt in fire and it's not should be a fire inside ourself should be of everything else should be able to that feel have the connection and the moral the what says take away all the should be purely and the connection should be purely for the will be able to connect to it and feel it. And for also we have everything what we need and be able to root connection to. Amen. [Music]
