THE SECRET OF THE NAME Praiseworthy is He Who Made The Lord His Trust with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom Alim everybody welcome back to the mid welcome home to Torah and for those who are unfamiliar with what we do here we are learning Kish we're learning the scripture tanak and we're in chapter 41 of Genesis pares Mikes now it's Hanukah before we begin I just want to mention we're all praying for am Israel we're praying for the nation of Israel in the land of Israel we have enemies all around us we are really um how should I say it beating the head hell out of our enemies and that should not allow us to have too much confidence in our own abilities which we certainly have to take a certain amount of I'm going to use the word pride but not we have to make sure that we are always remembering it's Hashem who's protecting us we're doing what we call the his the effort we're going to talk about that tonight so we are in a state of war and we've been in that state of War were for over 100 years perhaps even 2,000 years but for the last 100 years it's been L ongoing war and we're praying for our soldiers people who are defending the land of Israel and the people who are learning there are plenty of people brem who are learning Torah and that's protecting am Israel as well so with that in mind I just want to mention that we would like you to learn Hebrew and the Hebrew sheets are um available by looking down in the description box there is a link and you can follow the link to the right page to the right year and follow along with this class based on the title also by the way we are really the last few days of finishing the renovations on our new center and batm this Tuesday Rabbi Bri with AER we're going to be having a party before Hanukkah party and for those who are in you Shan please either send me an email or look on the uh the website for details regarding our new location we will not be in the regular yel Street Sho but we'll be here at 52 emic raim in the German Colony okay so let's begin we're starting in chapter 41 verse 1 I'll read the English and then I'll read the Hebrew it came to pass at the end of two full years that Pharaoh was dreaming and behold he was standing by the Nile now what we end up doing we usually deal with just a few words and we could speak for hours but we don't have hours we have one hour so we're dealing with these words which means that it was at the end of two full years that's how we understand it and Pharaoh had this famous dream and of course he passed it on to from interpretation and nobody was able to interpret it properly or he realized that they were not smart enough but ysep was he had a special um gift from Hashem where he was able to interpret dreams and not only did his Not only was he correct but it it um it caused him it it caused him the Merit to be elevated in Pharaoh's eyes to become the Viceroy okay so we're going to be critical of ysep even though we call ysep sadik and he really was very righteous nevertheless he was still a human being even though our most righteous people are still human beings he seemed to be lacking in amuna in faith on some level because he went and he asked the cup Bearer The Head partender of pharaoh to remember him and for that it seems that was the reason he was punished to remain in jail for additional two years and we'll see the sources and how we come to this understanding so we saw the English and we saw the first few words in Hebrew and Rashi mentions the word mikat is means the end so it was the end of two full years the very first question the clear will ask is and if you're following along you know there's no beginning point it just starts off by telling us at the end of two years is that how you begin a story you have to know where the two years began to tell me it was the end of two years happens to be if you look back at the end of last week's para it's still not clear Pharaoh had a birthday he made a feast okay so he was upset with his people he hang the Chamberlain of the Bakers but as remember yoseph had already spoken to the the the head Baker and the head uh bartender and so came out like he said now he had asked the the head bartender to remember him when he got out cuz he predicted he would get out and be elevated back to his original position but the last words were that the head of the cup the head bartender did not remember ysep but rather he forgot him so that's the Assumption even though it doesn't tell us exactly when the two years begun but guess what the two years must have begun from the time that the bartender either forgot him or when he asked him but the clear says it says in in the med the very fact that ysep had to remain in jail for an additional two years that these two years these two additional years they were necessary for him to be bound up to be imprisoned in the in the prison more than what was original lot it to him when someone goes to prison they get a sentence it's not open-ended he was supposed to be released at a certain time that was a decree and for some reason it was necessary for him to stay in jail for an additional two years the question is why what did he do wrong or what did he do right he did something and this is where I would normally ask for drum roll but we have the camera on the table and there's people sitting here so the CLE car he's quoting because what did ysep do ysep made dependent his security or his assurity or his trust and perhaps even faith in a human being in the head bartender SAR hamash now the C car is going to take us for a wild ride a wild ride it says in s for those who have the English Source sheets by the way if you want the English Source sheets you can just email me and ask be ask to be added to the list it says in Psalms 40:5 praiseworthy is the man praiseworthy is the man Ash praiseworthy is the man who what a Hashem who places Hashem now when you say Hashem we're talking about theud and the and the and the he the name itself as his security it's unbelievable if you read this in English what does it really mean because the CLE card is going to say it should have said bem that you actually trust in Hashem but what we're reading is praiseworthy is the man who trust in the name of Hashem this the name itself is trustworthy the rest of the verse says and we're saying it's in here and did not turn to the hty and those who turn to falsehood elim now we're going to learn the word Rahim is a code word for the Egyptians and yes this cup Bearer The Head um bartender was an Egyptian no question but there's something about the about the Egyptians which is going to relate to the word rahav which we're going to say is arrogance and that's how it's translated here so the clear says this word Rahim is referring to the Egyptians shik RAV that's what they're called now he has to question his question is as follows there is to be bothered one should be bothered what exactly does it mean who places Hashem as his trust the name itself well we don't know that yet I kind of let you on to that but AEM that was the verse we just read in Psalms 40:5 the clear claims jaar you know it would have said or should have said or could have said it would have made more sense to say who places in Hashem his trust with the BET as a preface to hashem's name like another verse so in Jeremiah 17:7 it's a little bit of a mix there's a mix between this idea of trusting bashem and also making Hashem the essence of Hashem the name of hasem his trust look at Jeremiah it's number four in the swore sheet blessed is the man so you have the BET before Hashem blessed is the man who puts his trust in the Lord and the rest of the verse says and then hasem will be shall be his trust so this is actually going to teach us something about the second part you put your trust in Hashem and as a result Hashem will be the person's trust but it still needs to be developed this idea and the clear mentions two lines up from the bottom of that paragraph the very fact that the verse itself seems to be doubled over with the same idea and I'll just read it English so we have blessed is the man who trust in the Lord the Lord shall be his trust like what is the idea that it's it seems to be repeating itself but we know there's never a case if there is a repetition there has to be something new somewhere and here obviously there will be some deep lessons going on so he claims that this expression in this verse in Jeremiah 17:7 and perhaps even if you think about what the original statement in Psalms 40:5 is it requires some kind of examination and fixing meaning fixing in our mind we have to solve and resolve what it means when it says so that appears in both verses Jeremiah 17:7 as well as Psalms chapter 40 verse 5 so he's and now he has another question another question is L why in that verse of Psalms 40:5 and we say these are the Egyptians why are the Egyptians called R and they're not called by the well-known name called Egyptians call a spade a spade call them Egyptians why does King David why does the Tanakh go out of its way not to call them Egyptians but rather to call them rim and that is another question which we will now begin to give the clear's answer so the clear begins his answer by saying these famous words it makes the most sense to me the clear says to say the following now this doesn't mean that it's the correct way but apparently it is the way of most people on this planet that the way that the world is accustomed unfortunately imagine I'm sure we all have been there where a person he actually has a quality he has a quality that's much greater and um let's say on a higher grade than another person uh wealth is one of those examples maybe it's intelligence but there are people who are in this world who think there are people who are below them okay so someone has some kind some kind of Advantage some kind of trait that is much more Superior than others that person unfortunately not everybody but many of these types of people have a certain arrogance about them and they don't recall or remember they could have been you know uh roommates in college they could have been uh kids in the same grade school and classmates neighbors who knows but all of a sudden at some point the person with a higher trait again it could have been wealth could have been intelligence could have been anything they're not going to remember the person who's lower than them you know in a different class so to speak and they won't even bring up their name first of all if they don't remember them they're not going to bring up their name but they they go out of their way and they're not going to bring up their name on their lips from the aspect of some type of Pride arrogance alar this is the claim now he says the philosophers it could be he's talking about the Greek philosophers which Greek philosophy still exists today but uh this is written 450 years ago and he's taking it from previous generations of great sages making this claim that this is what the pH philosophers make a claim that Hashem regarding Hashem you know what they say can you imagine someone saying this that God yeah I believe in God he's so great he's way up there and he doesn't relate he cannot relate to us uh people who are lowly I mean that's literally what it says God is so big big and high up there that he's not means to observe and to be involved in their lives who are bashim people who are low the word like today in modern Hebrew we know that is the lowlands we're talking about other human beings anything that's underneath the orbit of the moon right these people are just so way up there at least here we're talking about Hashem sorry we're talking about that Hashem is so way up there in the Spheres in the you know in in the clouds so to speak in the sky that he cannot relate to and doesn't relate to anything on this planet because that's under the orbit of the moon or within the orbit of the moon now in order to what to negate this losing um idea no the whole concept is a it's totally false it's a losing idea anybody that believes this it's a losing idea to think that Hashem cannot relate wait till you hear this so in order to actually negate this I'm going to call it crazy idea we have a verse in 1 Samuel 2:3 we're going to examine it a little bit carefully do not increasingly speak haughtily it's number five on the sori let not arrogance come out of your mouth for the Lord is a god of thoughts and to him are Deeds counted now if we really think about this I want to try to see if the Hebrews is much better I'll to I'll T don't speak so much don't speak overly don't speak he said do not increasingly speak don't speak so much in fact don't speak at all we'll see thata Hashem is higher than high don't say that because Hess is coming out of your mouth rather this is what you should say or no that Hashem is the god of thoughts so not only is the god of thoughts he knows everything and to him are Deeds counted in other words the low to him every action is intended and known by Hashem nothing is passed over from him so the CLE is using this idea how are we going to interpret it do not say these following words don't speak it don't say this that from the aspect that Hashem is so high and so big high above all of the heights that he has no idea of what's going on down here don't say that but rather this is what you should say that hasem knows all your thoughts he knows everything and to him and to him he knows all actions he knows every action so this should negate the idea of the philosoph phos opers and perhaps other religions that say God is so high I just think about Christianity for a second I think this is what many of them actually do believe even though maybe it's not written anywhere why else would you need an intermediary the whole religion is based on God is too high you and I'm going to just say what they say that you need his son that you need an intermediary it's amazing that means they fell into the philosophy of the Greek philosophers this is so anti-judaism anti truth and by the way that's why we are called Israel yes we go directly to God this is going to be the theme of tonight's class who we are we go directly to Hashem and Hashem goes directly to us we have a relationship with the almighty a real relationship he knows our thoughts he knows our actions and he cares he cares he's not like this person or thing that is just so that's man man that's what he meant when he said no The Way of the World the way of human beings and it doesn't make it correct but a lot of people are I'm going to use the word stuck up they have a certain attitude that they're better way over other people and uh that obviously affects their relationship with other people but certainly uh affects their relationship with God okay so the next paragraph says in order to like really bring home and certify verify make absolutely certain that this is true that we that this is the that Hashem actually dwells with the Daka with the small the broken lowly of spirit okay I do have on number six a little graph for those who are familiar with gatria you'll see on the left side what called the regular gatria so Al is one be is two and you get through the then to the tens right yud is 10 cu is 20 Lam is 30 then you get to the hundreds right K is 100 ra is 200 Shin is 300 and then you have the final letters right the the me theet 5 six 700 all the way you have to a th000 but anyway on the right side of this graph it's a different type of gatri another way of value of the letters so for example these are called miluim mil that the letter is not spelled just like with an Al but it's spelled out so Al is BET is BET keeping the original value of the letters but now that we spelled it out so Al is three letters Al L which would come out Al is 1 lamid is 30 pay is 80 equals 111 bet is bet you're tough right 42 you have gimo GID equals 73 now there are three letters that are significantly small in number it happens to be no coincidence CU God created the world with his speech he called out right 10 sayings and the world was cre created speech he spoke with what call the Hebrew language the original lodes uh the holy tongue and the he the V and the yud if you look on the chart they're way smaller like the next one up is the gimmel 73 the Lama is 74 and on and on so when every every word has one has two or three letters right you don't have a word with just one letter so it has to be a combination the word SE roof is combination or permutation of different letters being part of a word so you have God's name the yud the he and the V but you have another hey because um it's actually 54 it four letters four letters which make one word God's name is a gatria if you add them up in its fullness only 54 take any other word go through the dictionary like if you want to know numbers you go to the Yellow Pages or the white pages we don't have that anymore but you go to the dictionary and look at any word pick any word you will never ever find in any word in the entire vocabulary of Hebrew of lashes anything less than God's name and you can see it right here because the next letter up is already 73 and it's going to be combined with another letter to make a word but good k v k is 54 we're going to see why Hashem chose that name it's amazing and this is where the trust of at sadik should be as we will now see the last thing we read was this idea that the who did the permanent permeation of his own name not only his name is his great and awesome name with the four letters when you um the fullness of their number is m y it's so small from all the other letters in the alphabet and it's spelled out like is he is he Al is he Al again for he if you add that all up I told you it's 54 look at all the rest of the letters on that number six graph on the S sheet it's called the when you add them all up when you write them and you add them all up low you will not find a single letter you won't find even a letter that would be less than that name of God in the per permeations of YK which we already said is 54 when you do it in the m and the other letter we say is like 73 gimo 74 is lamid Zion is 77 pay is 81 it unbel the rest go higher and higher and higher well there's a gor Mill he says these famous words I want you to be sitting for this every place that you find the greatness of God anytime you find and we're going to say the word greatness is related to gibor strength when you find the greatness of God the strength of God and maybe even the fear of God because that's related to strength Shu there you will find his an an sorry an you will find his humility in the very place that you find his greatness and his greatness is in his name and everything his name stands for within that place you will find his humility remember he created the Hebrew language and he took upon himself so to speak the name that is the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of any other word and it's just a reflection on his own true humility that he is simultaneously G he is as high as high can be no limit and yet he relates to every single human being every one of us in the minutest details with our thoughts in this world and the clear says this well this is the actually the gamorra let's look at the gamar number eight on the source sheet so we're going to compare three different verses to verses that are right next to it we're going to start off with Deuteronomy chapter 10 and we're going to see verse 17 and 18 then we're going to go to Isaiah chter 57 verse 15 it's number eight on the sori and you will see God's greatness and then his humility one verse after another or even within the same verse and the last um example that the gamorra brings is in Psalm 68 verse5 and 6 where you'll see in verse 5 God's greatness and then you'll see in verse six his humility it's number eight on the sori you see number eight there you go so let's look at it says Milla 31a it's written in the Torah in Deuteronomy 10:7 I'm sorry 17 for the Lord your God is the god of gods and the Lord of lords he is the Lord of lords the god of gods he's just great but what does it say right afterwards in verse 18 Deuteronomy 10:8 he executes the Judgment of the fatherless and the Widow oh say mishpat so he's so great he's the Lord of lords the god of Gods and yet he's involved in the Judgment over the the theim the U the Widow and the how do you say that's the fatherless but he executes judgment over the orphans the fatherless and the Widow so don't oppress them okay one of the major Mitzvah in the Torah carefully take care of them do not oppress the orphans or the Widow the rest of the verse talks about gim uh you shouldn't do that either to the convert you have to love the convert but what did these two verses explain in chapter 1017 and 18 it's displaying God's humility in caring even for what we call the weakest parts of society that the orphan and the Widow but let's just say the most vulnerable even the gar who usually doesn't come with family okay they're usually alone usually alone and they are uh vulnerable then the gorah says you know this is this concept is repeated not just in the Torah but it's said again in the prophets what are there's nothing the prophets ever say that is new they're only coming to guide you what the five Books of Moses already commanded you and it says in Isaiah chap 57:15 we're going to deal with the same verse one's in the beginning and the second idea is towards the end of the same verse for thus says the high and lofty one that in inhabits eternity whose name is sacred I mean the very fact that it mentions his name being significant I think is significant but what's the rest of the verse say in the high and holy place I dwell with him that is a contrite and humble spirit so even though Hashem is in the highest and holy place he dwells with those of contrite and humble spirits to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite ones and in Hebrew thead so we have it in the prophets what about the writings the writings is also as we mentioned Psalms in the writings 68:5 and verse six it starts off by telling us how great Hashem is and we're going to deal with this verse a little bit more um it says over there extol him who rides upon the clouds and no you know what that's pretty much the verse that I I needed to bring extol him who rides upon the clouds whose name is now it says yah yud yud by the way is part of the udk but I think what the cleard wanted to do is to show you the four-letter name is significant because it's so small but e even in value in you hate which is part of that is obviously even smaller it's even more small it's smaller so what's written right after it after us explaining sing to Hashem extol him who rides upon the clouds which means he's way up there the verse itself implies he's way up there and yet the rest of the verse sorry verse six says he's the father to the orphans and he will judge he's going to be a judge over the widows we're not talking about him judging the widows we're talking about he's judging the people who treat the widows improperly so what the clear is actually doing he's just quoting the gorah uh starts off another verse Psalm 68:5 which we actually read praise him who rides in the AR which is the clouds by his name yud he so the clear Begins by saying RAR what is what is the gor trying to accomplish that the Praises are to yah that's the in the which is part of his name it is his name it's true he's riding on the clouds as the verse says high up there nevertheless the yud and the he is his name which is even smaller than the fourl name this is actually the name that is the smallest of all the names that name is a word that only has two letters this is the smallest permeation of God's name that you'll ever find and all this proves regarding what Al regarding regarding his another his humility again this is just a academic learning about his name but what it's supposed to imply it's supposed to impress upon us his true Essence that he is not so high high high that he doesn't relate yes he is high high high but he does relate and that we have to take to heart therefore the very essence of the name this great and awesome name is so it provs and it actually serves as uh Faith to us we should have we should have shity absolute knowledge and shorty we are the T that hasem remembers us and he's Mas he is involved in our lives and this should not allow an opening in the mouths of those who are they make a false claim by saying as we said the philosophers and perhaps even Christianity if you just think about it the Christians really believe that you need an intermediary that they cannot reach hem because of God's greatness and his way up there his height that he abandoned the Earth couldn't be further from the truth because God is Not Human God does not act like a human we already know how the how people act with arrogance Hashem is the opposite we already determined that the way that human beings act that's what it means ofam that they are not involved with they're not observing they're not interested and nor do they remember anyone who is below them in in in in levels or in class as we turn the page regarding two ideas these two assumptions that were mentioned in the verse he will now discuss what those two assumptions are assumption number one is meaning people do trust in Hashem but the problem is when they trust in Hashem it could be that they are putting and attaching a reason I think we'll get that into at the next paragraph So the first assumption is people will trust in Hashem and we have this verse praiseworthy is the man who actually it says hasem is his trust it's it's the actual essence of the name this great and awesome name this is why we connect because those small right this great and awesome name but its smallness the very fact that it's small meaning the name of hasem is small that is the trust that itself is the trust that Hashem connects with people he made himself small to connect with people that's why it does not say with the bet that you're trusting in the name Hashem what do we say when you trust Hashem that means the that means the essence of the name that is your trust you're trusting because it is small Hashem made himself so small that he relates to you that's why it actually says in the beginning of the verse as if it's saying blessed is the man whose trust is in Hashem but then it's like what will you actually be trusting when it comes to Hashem it's his name that may was made small the verse continues and says it will be Hashem will be his trust meaning it's the essence the identity of the name itself that is your trust the name of Hashem not any other name of any other God or any other deity or any other false madeup man-made religions now that's the first assumption the second idea the second assumption is so not only should you be trusting in Hashem IE trusting the name itself but don't trust people because actually trusting um the the arrogant people arrogant people it causes one to forget they will forget you they will not remember you they won't even bring your name up when it's needed like the SAR hamash the head bartender and where do we know this from look in Deuteronomy chapter 8 verse4 this you'll find on the last page it says in number 12 Deuteronomy 8:14 and your heart grows huy and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage the verses are speaking about a time where you're so prosperous and you think you did it you think you're the cause oh I caused it to rain I mean you got to realize anybody who says that belongs in the mental hospital right everybody knows that people one person right hon ail the rabbis wanted to put him away he actually prayed and his prayers were answered um he said I'm not leaving this circle until and he did it in public and everyone everyone saw it and there was no fake out there was no question that it was him that caused the Reign to come but you have a farmer they have to believe in Hashem right they can pray that should be rain but if you year after year after year you plant at the right time and the rain comes at the right time and everything's great it's not because of you it's because of Hashem right farmers are real Believers so here you go this idea that it's not you when you become very prosperous you're going to forget you're going to think it's you you're going to for forget about God as we say in the Hebrew right you're going to grow arrogant and you're going to forget about God and that was a warning now in remember our original verses when I say our original verse I'm talking about going back to Psalms 40 verse 5 don't turn to the Arrogant don't turn to the Arrogant that was the theim the the g r this idea the reason it didn't say MIT Egyptian was because Rah does relate to being arrogant don't turn your face in trust towards a human being from the aspect of arrogance he this human being will not turn towards you he's arrogant and as the verse says lo y that it says in Genesis 40:23 but the chief cup bear did not remember ysep and he forgot him he forgot about him okay that's what happens the arrogant people do not remember me from the very fact that he was made an important person he was returned to his position as the head bartender he was made a minister and very important person at that Al that's the reason he didn't remember because it was in in his own eyes to shame and put other people down to look at other people as Unworthy of his of his honor I'm sorry this the clear card is explaining why Egypt or Egyptians are called rahav now remember we said that yph was in prison for additional two years why was the why was ysep decreed to spend an additional two years in jail because his very sin was doubled he was two years doubled commotion there's another p in Jeremiah 17:5 that relates to this idea so says the Lord curs is the man who trusts in man so not only right he didn't trust in God but he actually actively trusted in a man curses is the man who actually trusts in a human being the and makes his flesh his arm and from Hashem he turns his heart so the clear is explaining that it was a double whammy he did two years because of two sins the first verse we just read in Jeremiah 17:5 um has both right this idea that he he trusted in a person and he turned away from he turned his heart away from hasem According to the C car one year he spends in jail because he trusted in man as we all know under the laws laws of mourning right the entire oneyear period is set aside for mour but at the end of that M life goes on you never forget but you do forget your your law so to speak you get we you have closure so he says the whole time the the idea of one year is enough to cause you to forget just as a you're dead right the dead person is forgotten from the heart after a year he doesn't mean that it's completely forgotten but he means that there's closure and you have to realize life goes on and what's the second year part of that verse your Jemiah 175 and from Hashem he turned away his heart now the clear finishes off this idea there's another way to explain or a further way to explain this verse and hasem should be his trust you should know there are many levels we spoke about this before the more trust you have in AEM the less effort you need to do the the less trust you have in hem the more effort there's a like a balance here explains and and mentions this in the para meaning the highest level that one can be on it below is to actually trust inem for no other reason other than who he is he will he will act Hashem will act not for any other reason so that one should not say the following he should not say these words that God will do for me because of a certain reason anybody that says that is off the Rockers because no human being actually knows the the best thing for themselves they have an idea they could be educated they can have insights but ultimately it's God who knows what's really good for you and what's not good for you oh you think that getting you know you have a whole plan but maybe getting on that boat at that time is not the right thing because it's going to sink you don't know you just have your own plan and you think you're so right and everything has to go smooth who says hasm has a better plan for you and that's what it says and perhaps a person thinks this reason is why he's making such a request but the truth is what could be for his good could be opposite of what he's planning that's why it says in Psalms 37:5 commit your way to the Lord but then it says trust in him and he will do is amazing like in the 12-step program you make a decision to turn your will in your life over to the care of God can you imagine if we Jews all lived up to that because they got it from us and it helps them right I'm talking about the 12ep programs addicts they got it from us we should be committing our lives every morning when we wake up I put and before we go to sleep obviously I put my soul into your hand that's what we say before we go to sleep and when it's we wake up Hashem trusts you it's true he's giving you another chance but you cannot do it without him you need his help and assistance and you should commit your way to the Lord as the verse says and trust in him Rashi says commit your way to the Lord means commit all your needs to him make sure that you know you're dependent on him and he will fulfill so the clear says what does all this mean that Hashem will act he will do for whatever reason he sees fit and he sees good within his own eyes not that you're choosing them where now it doesn't say this but if it would have said that you should trust inem that I might say the say because you're trusting in Hashem for a certain reason it's very no you're biased you have um you have some kind of uh you know interest that's why it says no hasem should be your trust just trust him meaning to say that you're going to trust in theem for no reason or without any reason don't attach a reason why you're trusting Hashem or what you're trusting Hashem to do he knows best and whatever happens is the best the clear is claiming this is the type of of trust that ysep had and if he had that trust Hashem expected him to use it and the slightest by sadik and by righteous people the slightest little um V variance from the track that they're on that's for them would be a sin if we were in prison and we asked the person getting out for free to remember us for us it wouldn't be a sin but for him it was a mistake so he says there's no question that ysep trusted in the name and Trust except for the time that he placed a reason he actually gave a reason you know he he saved the cup bear from Death I mean through his prophecy or through his uh positive thinking and interpretation Because by the way when it comes to dreams uh interpretation becomes reality therefore he was shown that extra two years in prison he was shown from Heaven that the reason for your being redeemed the reason that's not a good enough reason for what you thought but rather what it says in Proverbs 19: 21 and that's number 16 there are many thoughts in man's heart many thoughts but it's God's plan God's advice God's plan is what is going to be fulfilled okay so wow this was a really heavy fundamental class and hopefully we will all all grow in our own in our own trust inem and duties of the heart the fourth chapter I am reviewing it I'm going over it and I think it's it's probably worthwhile to do a class in it if anybody uh is watching this and they want to uh listen to many are many many series of classes find a good Rabbi who already gave this series listen to them cuz you don't want to wait until I go through it it's probably going to take um maybe a year if we start from the beginning to end and you need to uh you need right now don't wait don't delay work on your because this is what your life now is about making it a quality a quality life in your relationship with Hashem and this will improve your course your relationships with the world around you and with that I wish everyone a right right we're in the month of uh I think in English it's called Sagittarius it's the month of the Archer the Archer is a icon of war and uh there's no coincidence that Hanukkah takes place in that month of war and we are in a war as we mentioned in the beginning and it's not over yet but batem we will be victorious we will not give up Rabbi Brio just gave a Shear last Tuesday night and I think the title was in the middle of the battle do not give up and that was caught at the end of the shear that was the theme of the end of the shear I labeled to Shear that because you got to listen to the end um we will all be victorious over on and we fight the inner Jihad we fight the war on the inside and once your Victorious there we will be Victorious on the outside and with that I wish everyone like I said and a shabbat shalom and we'll see you on the other side have a great life [Music] on [Music]
