The Blessing of "No More Poverty" and the Reward of Giving with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

anybody [Music] Shalom alaikum everybody Welcome to the urban debate nadrash welcome home to Torah a very very warm welcome welcome indeed and as we mentioned here just in the beginning we deal with the fundamentals and we also try to learn Hebrew so the fundamentals are based on the principles the Clear Car brings down in the weekly Parsha which is number one number two we want you to learn Hebrew so down below there actually are links where you could find the Hebrew sheets the Hebrew Sheets if you really want the English sheets what I what I mean by English sheets are things that I prepared so you don't have to fly through all the different Source material I take the original Source material and I translate it to English where I have the English translation along with the original Hebrew in most cases so it's really good to follow the Hebrew anyway the other thing is I will be starting great Steve has finally joined us from long break uh we're going to be starting in the month of ello a campaign for fundraising and this class is so fundamental right the essentials of what it means to give charity in sudaka and here we go so if we're in chapter 15 verse 4 the truth is if you become familiar with verse 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11. that's great that would be a start so let's start with verse we're going to be flying around not necessarily in order so in chapter 15 of Deuteronomy verse 4 it's number one on the source sheet it says that there will be no needy among you in other words when you come into the land of Israel you will be blessed so this is a futuristic blessing taking place in the desert we're in the desert and we we understand from Rashi that if you do God's will if you're doing the right thing there won't be any poor listen to the words however there will be no needy among you for the Lord will surely bless you in the land the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess in Hebrew ethus however you won't have any poor Hashem God will surely bless you double blessing in the land now that we're going to discuss also what does it mean the land the land you're going to come in and possess you're going to fight you're going to win you're going to live there fine Rashi mentions right away there's a contradiction look at verse 11 but he quotes it says in verse 11 which is number two there will never cease to be needy within Land one second in verse 4 it says there will never be needy in the land and then in verse 11 it says they will never cease being needy in the land well which one is it I hope you're getting the contradiction I hope you understand why he's listening to the first few words of ashir is so important for all those that came on time broke Hashem okay so you understand verse 4 says there will never be that's it finished no more poor people that's a bracha verse 11 implies that the poor people never cease from being around now it says within the land okay but it doesn't say your land which you're going to deal with in a second let me just turn off my ringer okay they will never cease to be needy within the land therefore I command you saying you shall surely open your hand to your brother to your poor one and to your needy in your land and the Hebrew they won't cease being poor people me caravar it's within the land where therefore I'm commanding you saying surely surely you should open your hands to whom to your brother notice it happens to be in singular meaning to your um to your poor again all this is singular to those who are needy but I shouldn't say those are two one who is needy in your land okay this is quite perplexing as the clear card will point out right away many things here we don't even notice we didn't pick up some of the nuances let's look in the clear car in the Hebrew he wrote oh you know what I just want to continue that Rashi I'm sorry to Jump Ahead let's go back to Rashi in verse 4. so Rashi brought verse 11. well there's a contradiction these two verses seem to contradict each other he says however the explanation is now he's already giving an explanation and I'm telling you now the clear card is not really going to fight with him he's not going to argue this explanation he is going to open up this explanation in a way that is actually going to rock your world you will never be the same he says the Rashi says the explanation is when you perform the will of the almighty the omnipresent okay they will meet they will be needy among others but not among you however if you do not perform the will of the omnipresent there will be needy among you that is an unbelievable explanation Rashi didn't just pick it out of the air this is from earlier sources this is free just to explain the word evion he explains the word evion is much more a destitute than someone who's an ani who's considered poor because the root of the word evion is like from the Avon would be the root which implies someone who has a deep desire who yearns for everything meaning they have nothing that's how destitute the person is if they're an Evian okay I want to go down to the Russian verse 11. just keep in mind that the verse says therefore I'm commanding you saying to open surely you should open your hand Rashi mentions it means nickname came because of this okay so I just want to mention in the previous classes Andre a we talked a lot about reward and Punishment so because of this just keep that in mind and then saying I offer you advice for your own good that's Moses speaking to the people or Hashem through motion and then it says you should surely open your hand to your brother to your poor one I mentioned earlier this was singular so to which brother to your poor one to your poor one Rashi says that it's singular there's no double use here is spelled with one means one poor person whereas if it was plural to your poor people it would be with two yuds okay so he explained since it's written with one good it means one poor person thus modifying which is also in the singular therefore it's your poor brother and I think this is fundamental when we read Rashi we don't even understand the depth and I'm so glad that the clear car has been able to at least for me open up the the the text and then the Rashi and then I understand it on a whole nother level so here we go back into the clear card on the Hebrew sheets that would be page 728. okay at the bottom where it says however there will not be within you this type of a poor person that's it it sounds like poverty ceases to exist certainly sounds like that that's the blessing however in verse 11 the clear card points out yet right for the death two people will not cease from existing in the land so one second says and this is must be the sithri that Rashi is quoting verse 4 is referring to the time when the Jewish people are following the razon the will and the directors of Hashem of the Almighty and the second verse right that the poor people will exist now he makes this claim and as proof or witness for this you know what it says what we originally read in verse 4 Ephesus I'm sorry when it says there won't be however there won't be any poor people among you verse 5 qualifies what we skipped over we didn't read verse 5. verse 5 is number three on the sourishing however if you hearken to the voice of the Lord your God to be careful to do all this Commandments which I commanded you today so this is very important that this is I think what we're talking about is proof that we are that we are following the word of God okay so verse 5 looks like it's a qualifier meaning to say so it's four lines down in the middle of the line where it says Lamar meaning to say meaning only when it's however it's only betanize it the the idea that no poor people will exist amongst you it's only IM shamoa tishma if you surely listen and that's a very interesting Russia I want you to take you there on a search number Source sheet right it's the the first sheet of source three where Rashi mentions because remember it says in Hebrew right only if you surely listen to the word of Hashem your God then there will be no mean needy among you if you're doing the razon of Hashem then there won't be any poor people and then you shall hearken really I would say you shall surely listen Turn the Page this is a repetition of the verb form which suggests this is absolutely fundamental if you listen a little then you will be granted God will give you the ability to listen even more in other words when you come to a Torah class or you're listening to a sheer online and you open your ears and you want to accept what God is saying you will be granted A gift just like we say in the very first when I say the first book I met the fourth meaning the first request is God grants us the ability to understand the the knowledge as a jump start we're just getting started so Hashem gives us that Insight which Rashi says here if you listen a little the person will be granted the opportunity to listen much meaning he will be taught much Torah as a reward the reward is more Torah unbelievable I mean I hope you like grasping these fundamental concepts here so now let's go back into the Clear Car we have four lines down and the last words we read were only if only on condition that you actually listen to God but when in verse 11 when we said there will not cease poor people from the lands that that for sure requires explanation now the clear car has a few more questions when he has questions they're observations these observations are things that we should also have noticed if we notice them then we would be pondering and wondering what they're doing there unfortunately we are so illiterate we or our brains have been shut down that we're not really thinking so he's helping us he's going to observe certain anomalies and we should pick up on them here it goes where in that verse 11 is there any inference that it's speaking about the Jewish people not doing the will of God isn't that how we seem to understand Rashi that verse 11 is when the Jews are not following the dictates we're not following the mitzes we're not pleasing Hashem so he wants to know where is any reference to that in that verse and you will be surprised happily surprised if you live in the land of Israel and perhaps very unhappily surprised if you're living outside the land of Israel but I'm already you know giving things away here then he says the old Kasha another question what ex what reason was actually given for this statement when it says in verse 11 towards the end and the middle to the end al-kanan God says therefore I command you right that you shall surely open your hands what do you mean of course there are poor people obviously you're giving to the poor people who else will you be giving to you have to open your hands to the poor and another question or difficulty where anomaly that he came across why in verse 7. I think it's verse seven if there shall be amongst you a poor person now in verse 7 so if you go to on the source sheet number four right if there would be among you a needy person from one of your brothers in one of your cities in your land okay now we mentioned earlier Rashi points out that it's singular right and and the posic actually says here because so one second so it's very singular it sounds like what I will tell you because it says is your land in the land of Israel but it mentions there will only be singular seeming when I say singular very few out of the millions of Jews only a handful of poor people but let's just go with the Arts at the moment he's saying well that verse mentions you're going to give this to Dhaka you're going to give the charity in your land so we we're going to turn the page hello isn't the obligation to give charity an obligation on the person the physical body I have an obligation in other words it's not a Mitzvah that's dependent on the land of Israel it's a Mitzvah that is dependent on me no matter where I am so why does it say in verse 7. okay very good observation and then he says and then in verse 11 when this paragraph seems to end when it says and to the destitute that are in your land so the person says right we understood that the um the poor will not cease where meaning they always have poor people and verse 11 says what's the difference between artsecha and because I'll tell you because he mentions it doesn't say the word is a term used for the land so it could be erits Israel but here it says which means the entire world so you have an obligation no matter where you are to give charity and it doesn't mention your land okay so these are all the observations and questions that the clear card begins with so what the clear card now does on the next paragraph he begins to explain this is absolutely under no certain under absolute Clarity this is the explanation that every poor person in your land Roi lahatim Lani hutzlars it's fitting most fitting to put them before anybody that's outside the land now we are talking about the land of Israel okay I just want to show you on um page eight I'm sorry page four number eight so the truth is like no matter where you are charity starts at home so yes maybe in your land refers to wherever you are that would be true so you start with the relatives your parents your children then your your paternal family then your maternal family and then it begins with a poor neighbor or a poor friend who lives in your city or any other poor people in your city including your wife's relatives and then begins this idea you shall lion comes first okay so after you went through that whole list if you have nobody like that you give to the poor of Jerusalem and then after that you give to the poor of Israel and then after that you have a priority of the poor people outside of Israel now besides that that's just a particular list of priorities there are other lists of priorities that are given over because you got to remember life or death is always a top priority so if someone is starving or has no clothes to wear doesn't matter where they are in the world they're going to jump to the top there's going to there's there's many lists we're always juggling lists so if you have enough money to give and you want to sit down with a rabbi and discuss oh and learn all these lists but when someone comes to you let's say two people simultaneously and we have enough to do one to give so that's where you're going to have to make your um your decisions but if someone's held captive and you can redeem them I mean their life is in danger or if someone has no food or someone has no shelter or has their life is in danger you they come first okay so now let's go back into the clear card the last thing we mentioned was that the word is referring to the people of your city they're going to come first because anybody outside the land but those termslars is always referring to outside the land of Israel so he says like this remember we're talking about the Jewish people here so the Jewish people are coming into the land of Israel okay we saw Rashi and Rashi said well one verse 4 is talking about when the Jews are doing the will of God no more poor people verse 11 is talking about when we're not doing the will of God and there are poor people Clear Car saying no the entire he's not even arguing with Rashi just hear it out he's saying no the whole parish is talking about when we're doing the will of God and how does he know because we're in the land and this is I would say drumroll like major drum roll here guys come on all together there you go yeah when you're when you're in Exile physical exam it's proof we're not doing the will of God when we are collectively in the land we are doing the will of God or we wouldn't be here obviously it's not talking about all individuals it may not even be talking about the majority but the general concept that we're doing the right thing if we are allowed back in and if we're kicked out we're obviously not doing the right thing so just keep that in mind clear card is making a bold statement and he's not going to contradict Rashi because he's going to claim that when it's talking about not doing the will of God that's when you're in hutzlarz okay so I know it's a big pill to swallow for all those who are listening who are hootslerts but this is the clear car and I'm holding where he's what he's saying the whole apartment that the whole parish is talking about when people are doing the will of God can move on like it says from verse 5 Rakim shamawat where you're absolutely listening there's no question you're listening okay that's the first bold statement he makes and then next when it says in verse seven it clearly Rashi Dimensions it's singular in another verse and he's mentioning it here it says twice one of your brothers one of your cities so the clear car says all these individual units these ones right the akhadim the singular ones it's like pointing a finger I would say it means it's just a handful it like you can you can pick them out you're not talking about the millions of people hundreds of thousands of poor people you're talking about very few and that's what he says when the Jewish people are doing the will of God that you will then you will not find their poor people except one in a city one in a family it's as if they're not common at all that's the Bold statement that he's making the next and also when the verse says in verse 11 that the poor will not cease from the land says it doesn't say it's talking about they're not doing the will of God because I want to make another bold statement it says in in our tradition that if you live outside the land of Israel it's as if you have no God now what does that mean the truth is I want to take just a very short amount of time on this you are so distant you are so far from God now God's everywhere but he has his eyes on this place his presence is more profound it's more profoundly felt but he's everywhere so there was a question in the Gomorrah asking right how is it that in Babylon that certain Jews live so long it sounds like they're blessed right with a long life and the Gomorrah the rabbis answered that's because these people get up early and stay late they go to synagogue they go to the big madrash they're so involved with their synagogues so there is a tradition that in the future all those synagogues are actually going to become part of Earth's Israel how I don't know are they going to fly over Brick by Brick or the land of Israel's borders were actually spread as we know the tradition says that the Holiness of Jerusalem is going to spread throughout the land of Israel and the Holiness of the land of Israel is going to spread out through the world but in the meantime how do these people Merit to have a long life because those community centers right those synagogues and batemans Russia are like embassies like you're standing on Holy Land you know like if you need Asylum you go to the uh the Israeli Embassy in whatever country they're in and it's like you're uh I don't know you can be helicoptered out right however it works however they put you in a mail bag or something who knows but you get the idea it's holy land and that's I think that's the answer to what we're discussing over there and why they had such a blessing of a long life in Babylon but anyway so over here so we're saying hey in verse 11 it says that there will not cease from being poor people the clear card says this is talking about hootslots outside the land of Israel who has monsano simrano it's like unbelievable the very Factor outside the land of Israel it's the time of not doing the will of Hashem and how do we know that what happened in the time of Ezra the very beginning of the second temple period how many Jews came up 10 I think I mean we're talking about 42 000 and we're talking about I'm going to say a handful obviously it's more than a handful but it was certainly not the majority so he says did I skip something no uh commotion I said be me Ezra now it don't just look at the time of Ezra every Jew watching this right now I understand you all have parents and kids and good jobs and whatever it is that's keeping you over there But ultimately you have to have a plan and you have to do everything you can to implement it because the clear card is saying it's not God's will for the Jew to be in fruits lights it's not and I I don't I think everyone agrees with that so the question is you know we're a sleeping giant we're slowly Awakening from a 2000 year Slumber of persecution and Christian hatred and all that stuff but guess what they don't like us anymore than they did yesterday and they're not going to like us anywhere tomorrow well there's rat Hashem they will when Michelle comes but in the meantime it's a very difficult situation and you don't belong there to come home and that's what he says he says after the fact that when we went up to Earth Israel with you know that's what you should do you should go up with your brothers just like what happened in time of Ezra Reuben the majority of Jews did not come up from Babylon Vishal yet and there did not cease having poor people in the lands meaning in the world the word means the whole globe right so you have the word meaning the globe is talking about Ayers see that verse did not mention now the hopasu Converse for in the verse verse he says I'm sorry it's verse 11. right that there will not cease uh poor people who Tay roots are passive Christian it's actually it's actually the answer to the first verse um that says I'm sorry even though verse 11 at the very end says the word why does it say in your land if we're talking about hello mitzvazuno isn't this Mitzvah of giving charity also obligatory to be uh to to perform that outside the land of Israel yes so here you see that it comes because it says in that verse 11 evion they will not cease to be poor people are at within the Earth as opposed to your land it's obviously talking about outside the land of Israel now the next two lines are what people would come to make a mistake by thinking and saying so when I say it no it's not true but this is what people will say mistakenly then people would make a mistake you might think you know what there are poor people in hootslarge and they come to you here in the land I mean gotta get get this idea right now many Jews leave Israel to go collect money they go to New York they go to Lakewood they go to Vegas or wherever they go and they collect money L.A Florida since when do we have snore him the right people coming coming to collect from people in Israel never heard of it but you know what when we have no poor people and the land is extremely prosperous that is what will happen so don't think that if people come to you from hootslarge that you can just push them off you don't push the mouth you still give them but there's an order do you code meme that's the rule right you have poor people in your city they come first maybe there's just few you have people coming in from outside the land to collect so you still have to give them but they're not the top priority and we went through the list correct twice okay um that's why it says that's why it says that therefore I command you to open up your hand to the poor people and to the poor people to teach you the priorities okay meaning to say like I said to you earlier in your land legs or to give this decree by saying that regarding the din the law regarding the people who are poor amongst your land shame code they have priority over the poor people that are coming from outside the land because their only care of artists they are within the world not within your land now if you look back at verse 11 one more time just to get an idea because we're going to make a quote where it says actually verse 11 right okay therefore I command you saying what in the world is that statement in the middle of this verse there will never cease to be needy within the land I then you shall surely open your hand to your brother what is in the middle of this verse therefore I command you saying you know what it's saying the clear card says when you give charity you gotta say something what are you gonna do you just put your hand in your pocket and like throw it at the guy no speak to them say how are you doing do you need a drink if they're sitting on the curb can I get you something how you feeling today I wish you the best of luck whatever it is listen to the words because when you God's commanding us to speak to them he says that the speaking itself is greater than what you're giving you think you're giving them a dollar you think they're giving them ten dollars fifty dollars a hundred dollars the smile on your face when you give it when you ask them how they're doing is greater than the amount of money that you're giving them wait till you hear this in um which I'll show you is foreign on the last sheet but I'll tell you what he says here before we read it he brings down this idea that oh before I get to that okay that if you give somebody um if you give a pruta you give a coin to a poor person you're in myth barek God will grant you six blessings that's already great so you give money to a poor person God will give you six blessings but wait to hear this I'm a fiso but if you appease them with words then you receive eleven brothers so you hear that six blessings so what does that mean really what is 11 and 6. 17 you actually get 17 blessings if you speak and give them right money that's Tove by the way the the Gamache of good goodness is 17. but anyway you'll receive 17 blessings and Lamar when it says to say lo you speak to him meaning speak to him Pleasant and comforting words so now let's look at number 16 on the story this is Thomas or 9B rootsak says anyone who gives a coin to a poor person receives six blessings and whoever actually consoles the persons with words of comfort and encouragement receives 11. the Gamora explains now the verse keep in mind if you want to look it up it's Chapter 58 of Isaiah it's verse 7 through we're going to see through 12 but we're going to break it down so verse 7 in Chapter 58 of Isaiah says it is is it not to share your bread with the hungry and that you shall bring the poor that are cast out of your house when you see the naked that you cover him so this is the act the act or acts of feeding the hungry people without shelter people who have no clothes you're going to do and then the following verse actually I think it's two verses eight and nine he says like this and I have it broken down what are the six blessings it's broken down into six pieces what a nice blessing if you just give a coin then you're light then shall your light Break Forth like the dawn two and your health shall spring forth speedily three and your righteousness shall go before you for the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard five then shall you call and the Lord shall answer who wouldn't want that and number six you shall cry and he shall say Here I Am What Comfort now that's all true if you only give a coin wow what happens if you open your mouth and speak or smile and try to whoever consoles a poor person with words of comfort and encouragement receives 11 blessings what are the next Listen to listen to the statement in um in verse 10. verse 10 actually says and if you draw out your soul where is the soul in the breath of man through speech and if you draw out your soul to the hungry and satisfy The Afflicted Soul then these 11 blessings are what follows one this is like the verses right out of the Tanakh then show your light shine in darkness what a beautiful bracha two and your Gloom shall be as the Noonday three and the Lord shall guide you continue continually for and satisfy your thirst and drought five and strengthen your bones six and you shall be like a well-watered garden seven and like a spring of water whose water does not fail ate and those coming from you shall build ancient ruins nine foundations of generations you shall erect ten and you shall be called the repairer of breaches and finally the eleventh bracha restore of paths to dwell in okay so let's go back into the clear card the last thing we mentioned was this Gamora Baba bastra we're in the middle paragraph and he says there's another idea between by the word laymore saying right I command you to say you shall surely open your hand what is that referring to what I'm doing right now that I'm encouraging other people to give sadaka she is I'm using my mouth telling people to open up their hands what a great reward what a great Mitzvah what a great directive God wants me like he wants you to give and to tell other people to give that's why it says the Omar Lam that you should say to them to other people you should surely give all right now we're getting into some really nitty-gritty deep stuff here see in verse 10 that's number five on the source sheet the chapter 15 verse 10 and you shall surely give him and your heart shall not be greed when you give him so you don't want to you know this is actually going to help your heart hear this you're going to give him your heart you shouldn't resent the fact that you gave a person ready for this what do the next word say for because of this thing the Lord your God will bless you and all your work and all your endeavors what in the world does that mean in Hebrew listen to the Hebrew Hashem because I'm going to translate it's because because of this thing you will be blessed what if I tell you the word big loud doesn't really only mean because of course because but what is a gal gal gilgu a Gaga's or a wheel and it turns and guess what life is life is full of repetition history repeating itself our souls are sometimes reincarnated I'm giving a little bit of a hint here so what does it mean because of this Hashem will bless you so here right away brings down a Gomorrah in Shabbos 121 it's uh 151 sorry it's 151. where do we have it here on the source sheet okay it's actually on number page two number six don't read it yet we're going to get there um let's see what he says here that what does it says what do they learn from this expression on account of big Lao Chicago that everything comes back into the world I know in non-jewish circles they call it karma or reincarnation this is a very fundamental Jewish concept measure for measure and Hashem is full of love and patience and once only our good and it gives us chance after chance after chance but the concept is that everything goes in cycles and circles and we're going to see in number six I want to skip the first paragraph the first paragraph explains there's a famous shmuel explains what's the difference between this world and when the mashiach comes and we're going to skip that for a moment go down says it was Toronto Bryce Ruby Lazar kapar says that a person should always pray should always request Divine Mercy with regard to the condition of poverty if one is impoverished or knows someone's who's impoverished pray Pray For What pray that you don't come to that state of poverty his son will in other words if I don't maybe my son will and my son does it may my grandson will and if his son does not come to such a state his grandson will as it says so it's based on this verse you shall surely give him in your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him for due to this thing remember that's our words right big loud whatever those words mean the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and all that you put your hand toward it's obviously talking about what you're putting your hand toward is sadaka with regard to this verse the Tana from the school of review Ishmael taught due to or big Lal this thing which remember that means a wheel gilgal means that it's a wheel gal gal that turns in the world upon which people continuously rise and fall one day someone's Rich then they lose that wealth someone else is Rich who was poor yesterday we don't have we think we control it it's not necessarily Under Control reviews said we hold that the Torah scholar should not become poor there could more challenges the statement how can that be we see many Torah Scholars who are poor to get more answers even so if there is a Torah scholar who became poor he will still never have to go around asking for charity and knocking at people's doors now I want to take you to Source number 13. uh it's it's Psalms 37 25. now we sing this right and benching right we all know that song guess what I was young I also aged right I was young and I was old and I have not seen a righteous man Forsaken and his seed seeking bread in other words you won't see two generations you might see a rich person and a poor child you might see a poor father and a wealthy child right in other words there are there's a wheel I'll call The Wheel of Fortune however you want to call it it's it's sometimes it's beyond our our our ability but there are things we can do about it as you will now see what can you do about it in the similar of vein we're continuing the Gomorrah relates we're on page three in the middle the rebeccia said to his wife when a poor person comes to the house be quick to give him bread right someone's come knocking they come knocking for for charity go give it to him as quick as possible so that they will be quick to give bread to your children what is he's cursing his own children wow his wife's quite upset you mean I should give charity now so the charity should be given to my children said to him are you cursing your children he said to her no it's a verse it says there's a constant wheel going around due to this thing the sages explained there's a will that continually turns in this world similarly it was taught in a Bryce the Remy gamliel the son of rebutanas he says this verse and this verse it's in Deuteronomy Chapter 13 Verse 18 and God will show you mercy and have compassion on you and multiply you this teaches that anyone who has compassion on God's creatures will receive compassion in return from heaven and anyone who does not have compassion for God's creatures will not receive compassion from heaven so there's many ways to try to explain how this Gaga this wheel is turning and sometimes it's one generation sometimes it's the next and sometimes you have many carnations in one lifetime okay so let's go back into the Clear Car all we've read so far was really the first two lines of this last paragraph because on account of this galgal whatever that means God will bless you mean Russian big Lao as we mentioned already we learn from this language from this expression of big loud Chicago that there's this wheel that constantly turns things in this world there's so many rabbis that heard these words and cannot explain them he is now going to explain what these words are and he says keep the glow that concept be glad because of ain't no Lush and Gaga it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a wheel that's turning Sheree gimmel because the language of galgal has gimulamid gimulamid but our word is glal it's gimla midlama there's a gimmel missing gimmel is so important when anybody tells you about it's always the word gomel means to bestow kindness the actual letter itself implies bestowing giving kindness and if you've used the he's explaining good he's going to explain the same thing but from another angle of course it's he's not going to deny what the Gomorrah says but he's explaining it from another angle that the word Gaga is missing a gimmel it's it's not gargle it's Glau so therefore I'm going to say the opinions of the rabbi they just spoke lefarish did they explain the word big law is Allah shown look in Genesis 29 3. yeah who gonna find it for me okay it's number nine on page four when yaakov uncovers the well he rolls The Rock off all the flocks would gather there and they would roll The Rock off the mouth of the well and one of the sheep rolling it's the same concept rolling but it's only one gimmo the Galileo Evan right that's what they did okay now Rashi just mentions right away at the bottom right on the Rashi and they would roll okay that's what they would do that's how you got this rock off now he mentions a grammatical term every present tense every verb expressed in continuous action changes to speak sometimes in future tense sometimes in past tense because everything that occurs constantly has already transpired and is destined to transpire again that's what he's explaining it on the word gal right gagal or Galileo it's it's a constant it's going to happen again it's unbelievable the depth that Rashi spoke that we didn't really fully understand now we're having a deeper understanding thanks to CLIA Carr and now he says now this sounds like it's cruel at first but I'm going to explain it not not cruelty when you roll a poor person between people well like you're gonna basically you'll see of a whole bunch of friends and they'll give charity so you come to my house I give the person I said by the way here's a list go to my friend here go to this guy here go to that guy there I'm not sending away empty-handed I'm giving him some money and I'm sending him amongst a bunch of friends a bunch of other people we're gonna give remember it's a big deal for me to to help other people give so here you go when you roll a poor person amongst people from this one to that one can minha go like we do Hashem then Hashem will bless you the igram and he's actually a Cause right the result will be Shalom that as a result this poor person will not fall and he won't fall in front of people he he will be lifted up because you're helping him by showing him other people um and automatically we hear from this matter that this you know this this action of being going around the world like like a wheel right because Chico no same anybody who gives soifo leoth macabell in the end they will receive you give you will receive I I you know though I had a very tough time in my light at one life in what point and I decided I was going to ask anybody for help and I wasn't going to receive any help I was a little nuts and I had my grandmother wanted to feed me and I'm telling you I didn't even have money for food and your grandmother's house and she wants to feed you and send you what with a food basket and I said I would never say no again I knew there's a limit to the pride one can have and I was very grateful it's my grandmother how am I going to say no and I decided I'm never going to say no again at least so anyway but what about giving obviously if you give you could be on you'll be able to received this is the way of the world the way that all of creation was created from the highest Heavens to the lowest well I say the highest Heavens I don't mean above heaven she called yes that any right anything that gives is also becomes a receiver there is going to be one exception anybody know the exception that would be Hashem himself he's only a giver and not a receiver we'll see shortly sheet like the Clear Car explains in in chapter 1 verse 31 on the verse Yom hashishi when creation was finished he mentioned all of creation goes around in a constant state of give and take or like a rat like going around in Cycles except for Hashem built in the Carvel he is only a giver and not a receiver okay so there's an exception there okay so we're at the last two lines on the middle page the Thomas the reason for the matter seems as the clear card is about to explain foreign Auto lamb this is some this is like fundamental God does not want man to feel that he possesses that he has a stronghold in the land not him and not his children forever as it says in 25 23 that'd be Leviticus 25 23 it's number 11 on the source sheet right shemitah actually this paragraph begins with Schmidt and releasing um loans but in Leviticus 25 23 the land should not be sold permanently right when you sell land we're talking about outside of world cities so what happens is after yovel it goes back into the original structure of the families and the tribes goes back to its original landowners but it says so the lamb belongs to me God says for you are strangers and temporary residents with me you got to hear the Hebrew God wants us to be gearing what are gearing strangers people who don't feel that they have a stronghold in the land even though you Jews this is your land it's not really yours it belongs to God okay so you have to remember the whole world belongs to God does not want you to feel like you're the owner of the land it says in the in the Hebrew of God says the lamb belongs to me so we're now returning the page the ilu lohaya Adam if a person didn't come into this character trait this um this Meda of retaining property forever lozaro in other words if a man did retain property he felt like this was his forever hayamoxic Parts lets me tooth he would feel that he's the he's God he would feel like he he's the possessor of the land and what happens when that happens he would forget that the whole world belongs to God that's why man is constantly in this flux of going up and down and having property one day and then not having property the next day there's a constant uh influx going back and forth wealth and poverty not just him it's either oh who owes our o it's going to be either him or his progeny right it's not gonna okay we do know there's Exceptions there are people that have money gosh for centuries they call old money but guess what people lose old money too right we know that now he makes a bold statement you shall know and you shall be informed or you should inform others I think this is I I'm going to take the informed mother's view malarets you should know that you are like strangers you are like foreigners you are like garim on this planet belongs to God as in verse 10. it says because of this thing because this thing it means there's going to be ups and downs you don't have this steady permanency here Lee Ting Tam Lama who myth Golan Hashim now you understand why the person is being this whole idea of going up and down is placed on people yet this whole idea is that there will not be they will not cease poverty from the land at least in this world while we're on the planet Earth that in this world there will be poverty how can I know him or that's why I command you saying that you shall truly open your hand to the poor in order that should be granted to you or your children right in return but it's not going to happen to both of you in the same uh generation right you could like it's not going to happen like it says and that's the verse I think we read already I never saw when I was um oh no this is another verse this is Psalms 37 25. uh where's that can't hear you page five okay which number number 13. oh I think we did that yeah so I never saw it Sadiq uh forsaken nor his seed seeking bread so never did I see two generations uh like that like there's an up and a Down so meaning to say what is the clear card means to say who osoro it's going to be him or his children or grandchildren 151 B which I believe is on the end look at number we did that already okay we did that but there's one more piece here um let me just read that last line oh who oh boy I'm the clown me the zoo so it's only one generation it's not going to be all your generations going into that type of character of poverty now yea sham Reem this is unbelievable we spoke about the very fact that it was hacer it doesn't say Gaga says so he's missing a gimmel the Clear Car explains why is it missing a gimmel in that word should have been Gaga right that it why does poverty happen as a result of preventing yourself right refraining from giving charity 104a is number 17 on the sorshi now the gomor actually goes into depth of all the letters aleph bet gimmel dalit hey above all the way through and it star just brought down the first few uh lines the sage is said to review Yeshua benavi these children these young students came today to the study hall and said things the likes of which were not said in the days of Yeshua bin none whoa this is the time of the Gomorrah these kids are so smart they said things that we didn't even know in the desert perhaps these children who only know the Hebrew alphabet all they know is ABC's right you have a little kid he's so cute when they first sing ABC's or Olive that gimmel down Hey listen to what they taught these little children know if they know we should know that aleph bet that means the the word aleph aloof like oppon means to learn bet is wisdom Bina so you have olive bet the aleph means we should learn being a wisdom what about gimmel dalit it means poor Dao is poor so your gomel you're bestowing to the poor so now we know what the words look like the letters look like a gimmo almost could be like a dollar with this little thing little and then you have to dial it so why is the leg of the gimmel extended towards the dollid because in the manner of one who bestows love and kindness you pursue the poor look for them and why is the leg of the doubt extended backwards towards the gimmel it's so that the poor person will make himself available to him who wants to give him charity and why does the Dollar face away from the gimmel his back has turned it's to teach that one should give charity discreetly so that the poor person will not be embarrassed by him so that is almost the last thing he says and therefore the very fact that if one lacks the bestowing he lacks the gimmel remember the word galal is without the gimmel if you lack that to if you lack the the kindness to the poor so then that is what causes the circles to turn and therefore make sure to make give make sure to be ready to give make sure to be willing to give to speak to smile to comfort to console to somehow appease and uh the Shem so that that's it for today we should all oh there is one more piece I found very interesting let me just grab it this is from the Ben yehoyada it's a very short piece on this Gamora that I'm going to read to you he mentions the alephbis so alephena aleph bet as we explained that it's the uh the the the willingness to learn wisdom wisdom that's what Bina is because the torah's Bria which the world of Bria is related to BINA and therefore base the very first letter of the entire Torah is a base because it represents wisdom Now with an alephalit because the toes not yet on the highest level of itselus in this world yet butalim the next thing is that the gimmo is next to the dalid I'm sorry right you have gimldalid because your gomel dalim did we said they're very similar to each other also the Chicago you actually involve yourself in learning this holy Torah that will the the very fact that you're involved in Torah one who's involved in Torah will be involved in hesitant charity how like we're doing right now that you are separating these holy Sparks right which are poor in other words our souls are lacking and the Torah is the medicine the Torah is the tablet it's the herbs it's the medicine that's going to fight the Yates hurray right that you're separating these holy Sparks that are poor there's when it says you're separating because they're mixed in with the the voice and by learning Torah you're Reviving The Soul of methane it's like you're feeding them right it's like you cannot live by bread alone but by the the ruach Hashem by the spirit of God so this is what a teacher is doing is feeding the soul so the native just real quick and afterward you have the letters hey and vov what are hand of it's the last two letters of God's holy name we're completing God's name we're adding the yudan hey into right we're connecting his own name together through learning Torah and through Sedaka so it's connected to the gimbal download as well because the written Torah is five five books of Moses that's the hay and Toshiba behind me how many sidri mishna we all know there are six orders of the mishnah so that's above so you have the hey and The Verve and that's the Earl Torah and the written Torah um that's the that that matches up with the hey and the love of God's name when you give charity you're giving it with your arm and that's represented by the vov right looks like above okay and when you your your palm it's five so your arm is six but you have five fingers so that's the hang of God's name and that helps complete God's name and connects it to the good hey which is um connected to a verse in Exodus chapter 17 verse 16 as we know when we're fighting on the lake the end days of Malik will be no longer and we eventually UK without K will be in its full Glory so it was right to share with that we all hopefully gain something from this class not only did we learn a little bit Hebrew we learned some of the fundamentals hopefully we also accept upon ourselves how to give saduck in a better and more effective fashion where we can receive not just six brachas not just 11 bracos but a full Tov a full 17 brajos I will see you next week have a great Shabbos and a great life [Music] YouTube [Music]
