[Music]
have you ever wondered what your name
means
[Music]
what can your name teach you about
yourself
more than you already know
does your name hold information
such as your purpose in life
[Music]
the holy resolve teaches that when
parents name their child
they get a glimpse of prophecy
and the name is whispered
in their ear
our name is the essence
of the soul
the word soul
in hebrew
is pronounced nishama
in the middle parts of the word nishama
you can find the letters
shem
which means
[Music]
our name holds in it all the information
about our soul
our personality
our characteristics
and most important
our purpose in life
i want to invite you to these amazing
events where i will be teaching and
revealing the core information about our
name
[Music]
the information about your name that you
need to know that will help guide you in
your life
add purpose in your life
and enrich your connection
to your soul
and to god
come and join me in one of these events
that i can promise you will change your
life
tonight we're going to talk about
bizarre about the the whole secret
behind behind the name
a lot of people didn't come tonight
because they emailed us and said my name
is kaya marsha bracha
what does my name mean well i can't tell
you right now so i'm not coming
so people thought they're coming tonight
they're going to go out of the door with
the name reading of what their name
means this is not where you're going to
hear tonight
and a lot of people got disappointed
they thought they're going to go out of
the door with the whole analysis of
their name
this takes a very long process it's not
something that you put in google and it
shoots it out i mean google is not that
smart yet maybe one day they'll give
google the information and google will
spit it out
but the for many years
once i used to have time
believe it or not so i used to do the
name analysis for whether my kids or
other people takes a lot of hours
to really dissect the name we're going
to talk a lot about it tonight but in a
very uh you know kind of on the surface
it can be done faster
so a few weeks ago i was in a tour in
london and we did a very similar lecture
and it was very successful and we we
gave time for private readings and it
was very very successful successful in
the fact that people can get some solid
information what they can do in order to
change their their their path
it's very very unique and tonight you're
going to hear why it's so unique and why
it's so important
bizarre
so we have a lot to cover
we're going to start
very very quickly
and
you know i always get very uh pulled to
the things and the topics in the torah
that besides being very interesting that
they cause you to
become better
you know there's a young man very
serious i can see him there no no you
you i'm talking about you
everybody's like young i'm not young i'm
like 32.
so
i became observant when i was 27 years
old that's when i started to become
observant and my change
was not to put a yamaka on my head or to
put feline on or to go to school my
change that i would look in the mirror
and i said how am i becoming a better
person
the costume came later the costume is
also part of the the it's the gear but
that's not the purpose
the purpose is how am i becoming a
better person
each and every one of us is a soul
a beautiful diamond we come down to this
world and now hashem says now clean this
diamond now shine this diamond prepare
it for me
and this is really why we came down to
this world
and the great teaching of the kabbalah
specifically
by the great students of the rizal rabbi
vital on wednesday the topic we're going
to learn on wednesday is from his
teaching
very very unique very very deep type of
teaching
and he says
that our main purpose in this world is
not to necessarily fulfill them it's
vote and learn torah it's rather to
refine ourselves the torah and the
mitzvot is just a tool how to do it
but if i came down to this world for 60
70 80 years and i came in one way like a
revolving door and i came out the same
way what did i do here i'm going to go
up to shaman they're going to tell me
did you did you change at all
now a lot of people say that's how i am
don't change me
so
a lot of couples come to me for marriage
counseling and i hear the same broken
record that's how i am don't try to
change me
so this is wrong this is completely
wrong because you came to the world to
be changed
now i wouldn't use the name change i
would rather use the name refined
and if you are not aware of what you
need to refine you're wasting your time
here you're wasting another year and
another year and another year of your
life
you don't want to find yourself either
leaving this world and going to the
heavens
or finding yourself i see them all the
time because the majority of the people
who come to our institutes are older
people
the both the ladies
seminary and the men's ceremony are for
older people that in their 40s the 50s
60s 70s
it's never too late we have a student
she's a 79 year old woman unbelievable
to see a 79 year old woman
wanting to better herself refine herself
and she doesn't say okay i'm old so it's
a lost case
so this is really why we came down to
this world to refine myself now if i'm
not humble enough to accept
where i need to refine myself then i'm
never going to do it
so really our purpose is to refine my
character traits to refine my my
thoughts my speech my actions and when i
became observant that was the
the agenda not to if i'm wearing a black
suit or a blue suit or a big yamaka a
small yamaka for three years i didn't
even wear yamaka i didn't want to feel
that i'm pretending that i'm observant i
wasn't even observing why would i wear a
yamaka when i'm going to walk in the
street with a yamaka and i'm not even
observant
so my agenda was to refine myself once i
get to a place where i feel that i'm
refined enough then i can take on myself
many more things to do
so really
when i bump into different topics in the
torah the torah is unbelievable wisdom
and depth that you can't even imagine
the more deeper you go the more you find
this beauty and unbelievable wisdom of
the creator
that most people not even scratching the
surface
and the more you go deeper into the
torah you more you understand that this
is really the the true wisdom people you
tell them a word torah they imagine a
shul
and a lot of mitzvot and i have to dress
a certain way and i can't drive on
shabbat and it's hard life and all these
restrictions and the way it's not about
that the torah is way more magical than
that
way more magical
all the wisdoms in the world they have a
friend now that is really searching
himself and i don't know how he found
himself in india he doesn't even like
indian food he just found himself in
india and now he's following the dalai
lama and he sends me all these weird
quotes you know you know you know what
they have them on facebook everybody
send them on jabba they get like 500
what's ups every egg of shabbat with all
these weird designs flowers shabbat
shalom
and i'm like
so
so he sends me all these also these
little weird things all these one liners
and i'm like
these are all our one-liners from our
sages from our torah you think the dalai
lama invented it i'm going to have
anything against him i'm sure he's a
nice guy but i said you think he's in he
invented it he probably opened the maga
he learned a little bit and he comes up
with all these one-liners
so the torah is unbelievable wealth and
wisdom
that unfortunately the pr of the torah
is not that great
and it doesn't look so
appealing so a lot of people get turned
off by the torah because it looks too
much
too demanding and too restricting
really the torah is the
tool to allow you to see the the great
wonders of the universe
so any time that i run into a a topic
that not only is deep and beautiful but
it actually causes you to
change
that's what pulls me
because i like getting a lot of tools
how can i become a better person
if i live in a certain
place in my life that i'm not looking to
change that's a whole different ballgame
and that's
not where you want to find yourself if
you think that you're okay
i'm not so i'm saying it to hurt anybody
but if you think you're okay you're not
okay because we constantly have to
refine ourselves and grow and to become
better
i'm not trying to hurt anybody but we
you can't be satisfied with where you
are
we constantly want to get tools how can
i become a much better person a better
husband a better better kid a better
sibling a better boss whatever it is and
leads to a better jew
so this is how the topic came about i
usually learn different topics and i
don't necessarily teach them i know a
lot of people follow follow me online
the the teachings online is basic stuff
and they're nice and interesting but a
lot of the topics that i learned for
myself is is not to necessarily to teach
a lot of people they
they don't understand to give one hour
class you have to learn 60 hours in
order to be able to give one hour of
that but nevertheless so now when we
started the institutes then the topics
we're learning there they don't go
online necessarily because they're long
sometimes it's ten classes sometimes
it's 20 classes that's why we're
launching now the new website albert
miriam that's what we're going to give
now a whole year of a free membership
where you can have access to all these
unbelievable courses
but nevertheless
that's where the topic came from
and for many years i would look into
certain certain names when i would when
it comes to name my kids
a lot of people tell me can you analyze
my name
so once i have time
so i used to sit and it takes hours
because it's not just that you put in a
name and something comes out but then i
became very time consuming so i stopped
but nevertheless
there's unbelievable hidden gems in the
name and we're going to talk about
tonight different parts and hopefully
you'll leave with some some something
tonight
but before we start i always like
starting with some questions
and one of the greatest questions and
the most
dominating question that i get a lot is
what is what is why am i here what is
the purpose of life why did i come here
did i come here to become a doctor did i
come here to open another facebook
account
i'm here on the some chart and facebook
needs two billion users so i'm one of
them
what did i come to this world to see
dancing cats on facebook all sorts of
nonsense
so
what is the essence of of this
world and what is the purpose of the
world
now comes another
greater question is am i walking on the
right path
you know that most people they're on the
wrong highway
and they're on the highway to nowhere
and they don't understand why things
don't work out in their life
because you're on the wrong highway i
remember when i first came to new york
about 20 years ago
i one time went on a train now i'm
looking at the
maps
all these colors red blue yellow you
know the subways i had to figure that
out i went on the wrong train i ended up
somewhere in the bronx
and i'm sitting and waiting there like
waiting waiting for my ears for my stuff
and like why is this stuff not coming i
mean it's kind of getting they're
changing colors on the train what's
going on here maybe i'm in the in the
wrong country already the train was like
an hour and a half i end up in the last
stop somewhere in the middle of bronx
and i was like i think okay i think i
went on the wrong train
so
most people are on the wrong highway
they're going to a completely different
direction and either they're in such a
a low spiritual place that they don't
even notice they're on the wrong highway
they just don't realize why things don't
work in their life and they don't
attribute it to the fact that on the
wrong path
but most people they're not on the right
path
and one needs to ask themselves am i on
the right path
and the right path is not necessarily
what you've dreamed of the entire life
or what your mom told you since you were
four you're going to be a doctor
so maybe you're not supposed to be that
of course comes uh
another big question is am i really
fulfilling
and and i am applying my destination in
this world my existence you think that
hashem just happened to create you
everybody has a purpose in this world
seven billion people on this planet and
every person has a purpose in this world
and the question you need to ask
yourself pretty often is am i fulfilling
the mission of what i'm supposed to be
doing here
now if you don't have answers to these
last three questions then the situation
is not so good
you need to have answers to these
situations to these questions
now
and if you
don't ask yourself this question that's
also not another good thing you have to
constantly ask yourself hey what is my
purpose in this world
and b my i am on the right track you can
call i call it the highway but am i on
the right path
and also if i'm fulfilling what i'm
supposed to do in this world
now
when i
when i know all these answers then i
also know what i need to do to make me a
better person this is another question
that one can ask
do i know myself good enough
to be able to refine myself
some people they they don't know they
think they know themselves
and a lot of times actually you'll see
tonight and
when i do read different things in the
name
some of the times it's on the money and
the person is just shocked this is
unbelievable and sometimes they tell
people some things they're like that's
not me
i'm like wow talk about denial
i mean that is you
so
no no no no me cheap no no so
so
you know you need to know you need to
know yourself and if you don't know
yourself that's another problem
i always look myself in the morning it's
still sometimes like wow look at that
beard
so now now
now something even worse you know i
would go with a big yamaka because i'm
getting bald the other day i took a
haircut my kids are like you're totally
bald i'm like
so
so then every year the yamaka becomes
bigger you know some at some point i'm
just going to wear a helmet
so
i'm joking i can care less if i have
here i don't have hair but never then as
long as my wife doesn't care
so
most people look in the mirror they
don't really see the reality they see a
fake reality
and you know you want to take all these
questions and you want to put it in the
center of your attention and and to to
to apply
some type of an action so you can change
now tonight we're going to mainly going
to concentrate about our name
uh
really this is not a lecture this is a
uh
couple month course
uh we started already by the way in our
yeshiva the course we already did five
classes it will probably end up being
like i think like 500 classes in the
past it's going
but the classes will be available online
you can already register to the course
this is a course this is not a something
you can give over in a lecture
somebody emailed us and said
am i going to know how to read names
after this lecture
why are you trying to open a business
and go whatever
so
the funniest thing a few weeks ago we
started in spot the classes so one of
the guys was taking a lot of notes yeah
yeah yeah yeah tell them what are you
open waiting to open your spot all the
woo stuff is in spots so 90 of them are
just air air
air and whistles nothing there but
nevertheless you know we have somebody
here a bus comes all the tourists are
walking out like wow wow look at this
holy place whatever you're gonna sell
them they'll buy i can come with with
empty bottles says this is holy air
they'll buy that because it's hot
everything goes so
i i this guy was like taking notes it's
like what are you
i'm planning on opening like a shop here
i'll read your name twenty dollars
you're gonna bring name reading he's
like wow that's a good idea
so i told you it is a good idea just
open a little store in the place where
they drop all the tourists take twenty
dollars a name rating fifty dollars you
make a lot of money you'll end up i told
them and on the way out just sell them
some pictures some letters whatever
you'll make like two thousand dollars a
day he's like wow
i think i i think i found a new business
so
tonight you're not going to leave this
door knowing how to read names this is
not what we're going to do tonight
so
but we are going to concentrate on on
the topic of names because
i think it's fascinating i think the
fact
that our name is holding the dna of my
soul is an unbelievable fact
now we're going to go through a lot of
the details
there's a lot more to go through i'm
going to try to make it as fast and sort
of short as possible because i noticed
you didn't come with pillows but the
you know our essence
we come from somewhere and our
is our soul and our name
can tell us a lot about our soul where
it came from
you know the other day
some
relative of my wife came out of nowhere
knocked on the door hey i'm your cousin
so i'm like okay you want to be a cousin
that's fine
so at first i told my wife i think she
just want to get in because a lot of
people knock on our door i'm i'm distant
cousin of the rabbi really
i don't i didn't i never i never met you
so people they they
they find all those those ways how they
can somehow come
and er
into our house so i thought it's another
one they're just saying it's a cousin
somebody says yeah i'm a relative of the
rabbi i need to see him so my kids are
like okay
it's a relative i'm like it's not my
relative
so
so people just waiting looking for a way
to put their food in the door i'm a
relative yeah yeah two thousand years
ago our forefathers were together you
know
you know we're somehow related so
nevertheless this woman comes into her
house she tells my wife i'm a cousin
okay so she pulls out this family tree
unbelievable
it goes like six seven generations back
and my we were fascinated to see it
and a real cousin a cousin of the some
the grandfather or whatever and we
started talking i was like wouldn't it
be cool
to know who's my great grandfather
i mean i know my grandfather and i i met
my great-grandmother but not more than
that maybe
three four generations above that i
wonder who's my great-grandfather or my
great-grandmother
so wouldn't you want to know who
who's the ten generations above you
maybe some big sadiq or i don't know a
big hero
so we were talking about and i was like
you know what i would want to i would
want to something even greater
wouldn't you want to know who your soul
is to
you know where you come from
what's your history you think we're not
here first time
so we have a whole course now we learn
the gates of reincarnation but there is
al so of course we get all the weird
people who sometimes come and they have
all these weird questions and then you
have all these ones in spot that they
they know they're they read your soul
and then we just don't don't move i'm
reading your soul
so
they always come to me with questions
tell me do you know so and so they just
read my soul uh how much did it cost
so
so somebody there's some lady and she
reads your soul i don't know what
language the story is but nevertheless
she really reads the soul and she told
some somebody walked into the course and
she told me that so-and-so told me i'm a
very old soul
where she looked at your social security
number what do you mean your old soul
we're all old souls
where our souls are older than the the
the the creation of the universe but
even an old soul when you're working
with a kane and a senior citizen in
ghana
some people have all these meshugas
but nevertheless
our name holds in it
literally the dna the spiritual dna of
my soul and it can tell me everything
about my soul
and the rizal rabbit luria
he says that when the parents come to
name the child
they get a glimpse of prophecy
and the name is so to say being
whispered in their ear and then they
name the child
that's why it's extremely important the
name the child naming is not being
interfered with parents now the parents
come naming after your uncle naming
after this car the first car that i
bought and
whatever it is
the parents have to name the child with
no pressure have to look at the child
needless to say that the parent wants to
refine themselves that this
heavenly voice will be even more clear
because you are actually giving the
child the name
that is imprinted on the soul and if
shalom then the name the child is
getting the wrong name that will affect
the person
and you see many many times that the
person is either very sick or some type
of a
tragedy or a problem and they add then
add a letter to the name
add a name it's not good to remove a
name you don't really remove a name
maybe remove a letter
but in many cases people are on the
death bed you add a name or you add a
letter
and
sometimes it's
it's a
when a person is hanging between life
and death makes a huge difference
and sometimes the name is the wrong name
and a person is carrying the wrong name
and it's stopping their shepherd their
masala
and the person thinks it don't work out
it can come in a physical way it can
come in a mental way in a spiritual way
marriage money and so forth
so
we know that our name is very very
powerful
and
every letter in our name and not only in
our name every letter behind we know
that judaism is a very text
text driven
religion it's not about the text
and we know
that there are 22 letters in the jewish
language it's actually wrong i asked
that question when we started the course
back home how many letters are in the
alphabet 22 no it's not
how are we counting 22 well
it's 22. well first of all we have five
letters that are extra it's called man
that you have a meme it has a meme so
feet and a noon and um
but based on the teachings of kabbalah
originally we had 28 letters
one letter went down when adam and
khabar they sinned we lost one letter
this call this letter is called
when mashiach is going to come there's
another letter going to come so it's
going to change completely the so to say
the code of the world
nevertheless now we have 27 letters
every letter is a tool it's a vessel
we're looking at the letters as just uh
some type of graphic design
the way to relate with it is now we're
very into technology everybody has at
least five
iphones in their house
but they we're all constantly around
with technology we have cell phones and
smartphones and everything you know even
today somebody took me to the airport i
just landed a few hours ago somebody
took me to the airport from at home and
we were driving and a lot of traffic of
course and the waze was taking us up and
down i kept telling him don't go over
there and say i know the ways the ways
the ways i said i'm smarter than the
ways i'm telling you i know i know all
the shortcuts why are you listening to
this ways but nevertheless we were
laughing how 20 years ago who used the
gps we had maps remember maps people had
maps in their glove control compartment
now you give if i give a map to my kid
they'll be like what the hell is that
this is a map
people don't even know how to read a map
so we're so into technology
but there's a reason for that because
the technology is coming to teach us
about the structure of the universe and
to kind of understand
how god relates to the world
and technology right now is based on on
on software and hardware and
applications
if you try to think about it for a
second all these gadgets that we use
applications and websites
there's a programmer that writes that
now if you are a programmer then you
understand what's going on there if
you're not a programmer if you're going
to see now a computer program just a
bunch of letters and symbols
and you know it's like gibberish you
don't understand anything but a
programmer a coder can look at it and
they say oh i understand what that this
line will make this function this line
will make that function
the exact same way that's how kadosh
both who created the world
compare hashem to anything
was a programmer and he took
letters
and he put them together like a code and
ta-da
a beautiful world
so these letters
that we're going to concentrate on each
letter is a tool is a vessel
i call it a tool because a vessel is a
harder word to relate with
but really you want to
build something now you have a carpenter
then the carpenter wants to build
something nice now he needs tools he
needs a hammer he needs a
you know a chisel he need a saw whatever
it is all these uh tools
so the same way the ecological who
needed to create the world he needed
tools and these tools are the letters
and the letters containing the in them
energy
the the teachings of kabbalah they don't
call it the tool rather calls the
letters as a vessel a vessel is called a
clean a vessel that can hold something
now i'm sure some of you saw
that in the kitchen when you want to put
things in little dishes especially if
you have all these how do you call the
tupperware it has like all the sizes the
small one the flat one the white one the
big one and this and
so same same idea
you know if you have a little bit then
you put it in a small container if you
have something big you put in a big
container whatever it is
these letters look at them right now as
little containers
and every letter contains in it a
certain energy
now the kabbalistic term to it is called
chefa chef is in abundance we'll call it
energy because we can relate with it
although even that we can really relate
because what is energy can somebody
define what energy is
sometimes you're saying oh i have so
much energy today what do you mean where
you bought energy what's energy
a lot of people
question
and they wanna they think that something
from this world can actually give you
energy
this is a a a whole
fraud
you know you think you get energy from
an energy bar or from anything else from
the electricity company
if you take a dead person now and give
him an energy bar will you have energy
no
the energy comes from the soul
doesn't come from anywhere else
now sometimes this you have to feed the
body with food that the body can start
digesting and turn it into
some type of energy but really the
energy comes from the soul
and the only energy you get is coming
from a spiritual place
now how can you define the energy
it's very very difficult to define what
type of energy do you are you running on
i find that the way to kind of compare
energy to something that we can relate
with
then compare it to a mood sometimes you
wake up in the morning you're in a good
mood sometimes you wake up in the
morning you're not in a good mood
sometimes you're in a very high mood
you're very happy sometimes you're in a
very
angry mood aggressive mood sand mood
whatever it is
so we'll compare it for a second even
though it has nothing to do with it
compare types of energy to kind of like
a mood sometimes the energy is very high
sometimes the energy is very low
sometimes the energy is you're very
productive sometimes the energy you're
very not productive but nevertheless
when he wants to inject life into this
world it's injected
through this energy and it has to be
contained through different
containers and these containers these
are words that i'm using it's not the
actual terms of that the term is a cli
clea is a vessel
and the vessel is able to hold a certain
energy in it and the letters are the
vessels that hold the energy
every letter contains in it a certain
energy
now the beauty here is if you take two
letters and you merge them now the
energy is a brand new energy
and the easiest way to
kind of understand it
is how many colors do you think there
are in the universe
infinite right
common wednesday i'll tell you how many
colors they are
but really there's only seven colors
that's really we have seven pigments
seven types of colors but when you start
mixing them ah
now you have infinite
options of colors and how many shades of
blue how many shades of green how many
shades of
yellow
technically we only have seven colors
and these are the colors that you see in
the rainbow some will argue eight colors
let's leave it for wednesday come and
learn about the colors but nevertheless
when you start mixing them that's when
you get a lot of different types of
colors
where do you see
really the quantities of colors you look
at a beautiful picture a beautiful
painting how many colors can you find
there numerous of colors
now an artist knows that if he takes the
blue and the green and puts it together
oh it will come like a nice purple you
take an orange you take a yellow and a
red will come orange you start mixing
them around then they change their color
this is the exact same idea with the
letters take the letter alif has a
certain energy take the letter bit has a
different energy put aleph and bet
together now you have a third type of
energy now put the bet in the aleph not
the elephant the bit another different
energy now put underneath the alif
akamats it's going to be an ah put
underneath the outer
e put under it uh
so
just imagine how many variations of
energy you can when you start switching
letters
originally there was only
28 letters now it started multiplying
and multiplying and multiplying
our sages
with ten speeches the world was created
hashem spoke ten speeches and he created
the entire world but in these ten
speeches is containing in it numerous
amounts of combinations
of letters
together and that's the code that
creates the world
now
every letter holds in a certain energy
now
to understand what's the energy of every
letter that we definitely can do today i
think it can be something like a class
for each letter
and probably maybe three classes for
each letter because the letters
the letters containing them three paths
and this is a
this is really when we want to start
understanding the essence of a human
name of the name of a human
then we have to understand first of all
what are the letters the there is a book
of kabbalah
some say it's the first book of qabalah
it's called seferitsira the book of
fermenting formation
some say that's the first book of
kabbalah but really there's another book
that came before that it's called the
the book is called the malachaziel
the angel raziel
and the history says that the angel
raziel
gave this information to adam richon
very difficult book a very small book
i don't know anybody much that really
know how to to explain the book but
nevertheless there's two very old books
of kabbalah one of them is a more common
one it's called sephiroth
there's different versions of it
but nevertheless all this information
that we're talking about tonight is from
that book
and this book this information was given
to adam richon
gave it to his son shet sheth gave it
over to noah gave it to shemsheim gave
it to everyone it went through the
generations and at the end it came to
the hands of avraham avinu
some say abraham avinu is the one who
wrote it some say adam shawn wrote it
some even say rabbi akiva wrote it that
the information came to rabbi akiva he
wrote it
but nevertheless
not books that book sheds all the the
lights in that territory
we have once a month a class if you
follow us online then i'm sure you know
that once a month there's a class about
the power of the month where i kind of
dissect a little bit the
the character traits of the month and
what the month means so that information
comes from that book from sephiroth
so the book of israel explains that
every letter holds in it a certain
energy
and
the in the letter the
energy that's kind of like running in it
kind of like if you imagine like an atom
how it's
turning around in speed
three channels of energy is running in
the in the letter
one of them is how you pronounce the
letter
or whatever it is
this is one channel how the energy is
being contained in the letter now every
letter of course has a different sound
even though some of the letters will
might sound the same because kaf and
kufu sound the same but nevertheless
they're not
so one of the chat one of the channels
is how the letter sounds the other one
is the shape of the letter and this is
again another whole
course in itself is dissecting the shape
of the letter because technically all
the letters the color combination of
other letters
if you're looking at a hay so in a hey
there's a raise there's a valve there's
a youth
and many other letters if you really
look at them closely you'll see that
they contain even more letters
but the second channel is the
shape of the letter which that in itself
is a whole fascinating topic
how the shape of the letter will affect
the energy of the letter
and then the third one which is another
very interesting part another
segment is the numerical value of the
letter what is called gematria
some people are very into it they like
checking all the numbers
and the matre is a very very
sophisticated way of calculating that's
why part of the analysis of the name
depends on the gematria not necessarily
other things and of course there's the
basic imagery that the letter aleph is
is one letter bet is two and so forth
but there are many other ways to
calculate the gematria one of them is
how the word is being written for
example alif is written alif lamid pain
so it changes its numerical value then
there's another way it's called atbash
atmash is when you switch letters around
so if you take two columns one side you
write aleph bet gimmel dal
so forth and then on the left column
right top sheen cool fresh and the other
way around and then aleph becomes a
tough and sheen is a bit and so forth
and you switch the the letters around so
it gives you a different type of
numerical value and then there's many
other types
of
that you switch your letters around
there's a whole wisdom behind it
and
these are the three channels so to say
that every letter the energy is running
in it so when you really want to dissect
the letters you have to understand the
aspects of all that
now really the letters are the secret of
the creation of the universe
right now the universe is covered with a
screen
we just looking at a beautiful screen
very very uh limited screen
but we see the world through a screen
i'm sure some of you heard my personal
experience
and i shared in one point
that this screen was removed
and
all that i saw is letters
i saw like the code of the world and how
i saw the world was looking like a
computer program and then an analogy
that i give here is that you you can
look at a computer you're looking at a
website you see a beautiful website
beautiful colors beautiful pictures
beautiful
a design you click a button it opens a
page you click another button opens
another page
but what would you see if you
hypothetically would remove the screen
what would you see
you wouldn't see anything but
technically you would see the code
that creates the website
and like i said before if you are a
programmer you can read the code you
know what it means if you're not just a
bunch of letters
created the world with letters
if you're looking now at a building how
they build it they make a foundation
they make like a i don't know how you
call it necessarily in english i think
they call the skeleton like the the
frame of the building and then start
building in the the walls
now it's a little bit popular that they
do the walls with exposed brick
but if you're looking at the wall
remember here you see the walls or the
plain walls
when you're looking at a wall how many
bricks are in there thousands of bricks
now can you put the bricks from the
tenth row up
no you have to start with the first row
and then the second row and then the
third row and you just lay the bricks up
down same way with the world the logic
who took these tools these letters and
he started a foundation
so the letters are the foundation and
the circuit behind the creation of the
world adam for example he was in a such
high spiritual world that he didn't see
the world how we see it
we saw the world how it actually is
very soon is going to come we're going
to be elevated to a very high spiritual
level
and then we are also going to see that
this is a prophecy that we know from the
book of isaiah
everybody will see every human
jews and non-jews everybody
everybody
has hashem is the one who creates the
world we're going to see the godly power
that enlivens the world
that's why in many places and sometimes
you hear
speakers rabbis and lecturers are saying
some people will not survive
the coming of moshiach sometimes they're
bad people but they don't have the
vessels to see such a thing
there's going to be a godly revelation
and if you don't prepare yourself now
then the godly revelation you're going
to be able to contain it
so you're not going to survive it you're
going to have to be pushed aside it's
almost like looking at the the sun
and and without sunglasses and magnify
that a million times
so the foundation of the spiritual world
is the spiritual letters we just don't
see it they are great said the kim that
we know that that's what they see they
see the code of the world it's funny
because now i a few hours ago i was on a
plane so whether you want it or not you
see the screens everywhere so it's just
funny to see what movies each one is
seeing
so
you know people are bored just walk up
and down on the plane it's funny to see
what the person was sitting and what
their live what's the movie they're
watching
so sometimes you see like a you know
long field and then she was like a
cartoon like
so
so so anyways i was sitting over there
like in the angle of my eye somebody was
watching superman
but it's not the superman that we know
with the what's his name uh
the guy who broke his neck
what krista reeves some new
superman like with special effects and
something more futuristic superman and i
was looking at it through the angle of
my eye
and there's a part that caught my
attention
because there's a scene there that he's
a little kid and then he's finding out
that he's superman
and and he he sees everybody's skeletons
and he sees their organs
and i was like wow look how technology
look how hollywood they can show
godliness because he's looking at people
and he sees their veins and their heart
beating and that's when he kind of like
finds out that he's superman and i was
like wow look at that that's how we're
going to one day the screen will be
removed and we'll be able to see how the
whole world is created by hashem and
there are different individuals said the
greats that they came that's how they
look at you they look at you they don't
see the body
they see way above that
and greater so they came they elevate
themselves to such a high level that
they don't see your body they're looking
at the soul and they know everything
about the soul their eyes are looking at
you but their soul is already
meeting your soul and they give you a
whole analysis of everything that you
need to know
so
this comes and brings us to another
question how can it be that a word can
create a reality because god talks we
know that god talks and he creates the
world now god doesn't have a mouth
rather it's a more metaphorical way but
i'm sure you prayed at least one time in
your life and if you pray every morning
you probably remember that when how do
we start the pray
we say that every day bless he that he
said and he created the world
and how many times do we hear in the
torah the word of
hashem
so we know that hashem talks and he
creates the world so how can a word
create a reality
so the easiest way to explain it
unfortunately we have an epidemic in our
generation
uh i can't say for other generations
because they didn't live there at least
i don't remember but we have an epidemic
in our generation it's called the
shonara
slandering
and everybody
all day long they they like twitter so
now if i say now
or slandering
is saying the truth slandering is saying
not the truth but nevertheless
i can come now and say you know so and
so he's like listen like that
i just took my words and i created a
reality and it could be that the person
has nothing to do with it
so you see in a very superficial way how
a word can create a reality i can come
and say you know that person is a liar
because i don't like him now everybody
thinks he's a liar so i created a
reality very simple very easy way to
understand how my words can destroy
distort the reality
but spiritually how can a word create a
reality then since every letter holds in
it a certain code i'm sure you've seen
that many different times now again i'm
sorry i'm giving all the examples with
me flying today i come now to give them
the boarding pass what do they do
they scan it
it says everything about me
doesn't say my underwear size but it
says everything about me oh yes now i
landed all i need to put is my passport
in the password
all the information pops up the
immigration guy he knows everything
about me
how is that because we are there's a
certain code and the code is holding
information in it
if you scan the code
you have a system to translate the code
then
whatever is translating it can know
anything it needs to
sorry
same thing here every letter has a code
in it and this is a very sophisticated
code
when you take certain letters and you
put them together then the code changes
like the what i told you before with the
tones you took now taking out a few
colors and mix them together it will
make a completely different type of
color
when you take a certain letter and you
add it to other letters now the code
changes
the kabbalistic term to it is that the
tone of it changes
like a color and again
don't get hooked on the in the example
with the colors in the letters because
it's not that it's just a wait an
analogy for to us to to relate with
but nevertheless
the letters they change their tone when
you put them together and every letter
contains within a certain a certain code
which will manifest to become an
existence
so how does it work the kalosh bro
wanted to create the world one of the
first things that we have in the
creation of the world you read it in
sephiroth
who says
there should be light shem created the
light how did he create the light he
took a letter alef he took the letter
valve we took the letter h put them
together and the nature or the energy
that comes out with that combination is
light very simple it's not that thomas
edison invented the light hashem
invented that six thousand years ago
so
he took letters each letter containing
it the certain power when he put the
aleph and the relation together it
created light and every thing in
creation
is it's originated in the letters
now
this is a very short introduction about
the concept of the letters but from that
we can very easily derive
that the name that i'm carrying has a
very deep meaning
if i now understand that god created the
world with letters all the existence of
the world is about letters the letters
hold a certain energy in it so if
everything in creation is built from the
letters must be that i'm also part of it
and so much more so that my name is
holding in it
a certain code
now
comes a big question we'll talk about it
later because a lot of people have the
same question
there's like five
hundred thousands david well they're all
the same
all the yakovs are the same
no so we'll address that
a little bit later
it's not the same
and that's why it's not so easy to
dissect the name it's not that you just
punch in the letters and you say and you
understand
it depends first of all if there's
another name it depends also on the day
that the person was born on the month
the person was born the hour the person
was born there's a lot of factors in it
it's not just spitting out the name
but nevertheless in general
we can take
from that
that the name the letters in the name
are so powerful that they're affecting
my reality
not only that they're affecting my
reality they're affecting my way of life
you know i'm sure
all of you at once at least one time in
your life some people do it every day
but you read your horoscope people open
the newspaper
wow this week i'm gonna be rich it never
works by the way i used to read the
horoscope every day this week you're
gonna meet something special
so all week you're looking from like
who's that special person i'm eating
this week
so so i was into it once so every day i
would read the horoscope of the day and
a bunch of junk so
but nevertheless the
the
horoscope is like
kind of telling you what you want to
know
but how many signs are there the only 12
signs well there's only 12 options so
all the people were born in october
that's it they're stuck with that sign
now so
same thing with the name one can say
what all the yak over there the same
thing no it's much more deeper than that
there's much more information
but nevertheless the name itself
will affect my entire existence my
entire reality my entire
life
the the the actions in my life things in
my life more than that it affects my
destiny
there is something i know some people
want to believe in it don't believe in
it there is a destiny a neighbor we call
it
i don't know if the word in english is
such a great translation but
nevertheless it affects my destiny we
all have a destiny
not only that it will affect
things in my life
my life is predestined
but nevertheless things always can be
changed but the name will affect actions
in my life my marriage kids
health and my my parnassa and so forth
so
when you really want to know a lot about
yourself then one of the ways is to go
to the name
now
there are many different types of names
we're not going to analyze names because
then we're going to be here to rosh
hashanah
but
my wife gave me a great idea she was
like why don't you analyze all the
normal like the common names just put on
your website let's just people go there
so you put a david and a yakov and a
moshe and asa and but then i'll get all
these hard names that
you know that i don't even know where
where they originate from and you know
somebody now booked a name reading so my
secretary says sen you have to send me
your full name your date of birth
and the name i don't even know how to
read it and she read the name in english
and i was like how do you write it in
hebrews i don't know i was like so i'm
going to analyze your name everything
about analysis with a b and an r and s i
need the hebrew letters
but nevertheless
the the
name itself
should contain it at least three letters
if you have a uh now before i even start
it's very important to know
that
first of all we know in general that
every letter has two ways of looking at
it the positive part of it and a
negative part of it everything in
creation has a positive part in it and a
negative part of it now a lot of the
things that we learn in name
reading it's not black and white in
general it's not good to have a
two-letter name this is in general
like some like dan and god and
these are words and names of course in
in in hebrew i don't think in english
there's any names that are two letters
but we're not talking anything about in
english it's only in hebrew there are
names ben
god a lot of names that are in hebrew
and two letters this is not a good name
it's also important to know that if
you're about to name a child or if it's
your name it's uh maybe and things are
not going so well there's a possibility
to add a letter
now a very important thing is don't walk
out of this door tonight freaking out
because something is wrong with the name
that this is not how we deal with things
and and if everything is kind of normal
and okay then you don't have to do
anything you more look into it when a
person has an issue
when for 20 years they can't get married
for 20 years they can have a child or
they have can have palmasa whatever it
is so there's some type of a health
condition then you're like okay let's
start to maybe look into the name
in general it's not going to have
two-lettered name
better to have three and above
why
because
the first letter in our name is the most
important and the most dominating name
when we go through a name reading
first we look at the first letter of the
name
and then we look at the second letter
and then we look at the third letter if
there's a fourth and a fifth also but
the the main letter is the first letter
in my name
our soul is built from five components
of five levels the highest level of the
soul is called
this is what's called the essence of the
soul this is a very
high level spiritual part of the soul
never even comes down into this world
it's attached to hashem it's a part of
hashem
the next level is called
what is known as the aura
the kabbalistic term to it is o makifa
surrounding light
but a lot of people are aware that
there's something surrounding their body
now they came up with these different
types of machines it's called like the
aura photography we actually have one of
the members of our congregation they
have the machine it's unbelievable
to see how the aura changes
when you change your actions it's
unbelievable to see it with your own
eyes we had she gave a lecture in in our
seminary it was just unbelievable you
put your hand on the machine and it
shows you your aura
and you do all these tests you put it at
filling on the aura changes completely
take the feeling off the ora change all
the colors change it's just unbelievable
to see it
so
it's a little bit scary because you see
all sorts of things and then you see it
on the screen
then i didn't want everybody to see but
nevertheless so this part of the the
soul the the
is a
surrounding light but then you have
three components of the soul that are
called the shaman
these are the three levels of the soul
and they're all in the body
and each one of them has a completely
different
task
then of course is the soul this is the
highest of all
this will correspond to the first letter
of your name the second letter of your
name or i would say the middle letters
of the names because a lot of the names
are four letters and five letters so the
middle letters correspond to the ruach
the walkers the spirit and the last
letter of the name will correspond to
the nephesh
the first letter of the name
it's called the authentic the nishama
letter now
this will carry with it
all the information
from previous lives your entire journey
a lot of people want to know what what's
the what's their previous life when i
was saying before with the lady reading
the shemot i mean she's a little bit uh
not with us but but the idea is that
there were
there is a previous life our soul is not
here for the first time some of us can
be here already a hundred times
we come
back and again and
and again and again and again and in
incarnations
and there's a purpose for that there's a
reason for that the first letter of the
soul will carry in at the information of
who i am where i came from what's all
the information from my previous life
and not only that it will tell me they
continuation what needs to be done this
is going to answer the question of what
is my destiny in this world what is my
path in this world
i know many people that for 40 50 years
they are going on a certain path and
they're completely in the wrong path
and they're completely going in the
wrong direction
now some things work well for them but
some things don't and they just accept
it as that this is part of a part of
life
and it's not always part of life
so the same way that when you grow a
little bit older you have to go to the
doctor and they run tests so when you
spiritually grow older you want to go to
the right individual to run spiritual
tests to see where you're holding
but nevertheless the first letter will
tell you a lot about your previous lives
and this will already reflect on your
destination and your path in this world
and it will will tell you about the
destiny from previous lives and not only
that
your qualifications your talents
and and the quality
that you possess in you everybody has
some type of a talent there's no such a
thing that a person doesn't have a
talent some people the talent is very
very dominating so they're a great
musician
and are great artists
and some people they have amazing talent
they know how to make the most delicious
cookies but that's a talent nevertheless
everybody has talents
and some type of a qualification that
nobody else has if you don't know it
then you're really missing the majority
of your purpose in this world and a
person on one person can be an amazing
educator another person can be an
amazing i don't know entertainer it
doesn't matter what right now but each
and every one of us possessing them in
us different qualities that nobody else
has and you need to know how to empower
them how to make them vivid and powerful
and a lot of people say oh if i'm not
there jimi hendrix or no you don't have
to be a great you know worldwide class
musician each and every one is holding
in them a certain quality and again all
in the first letter of the name will
hold all this information
the middle letter or the center letters
because again a lot of the names are
with five letters
we call it the middle letter all times
eight but nevertheless it can be two
letters and it can be three letters
these are the tools that god gave you
to do your your task in this world
if i now come to a certain job and my
job is i don't know you know every
shabbat hashem we feed feed dozens of
people sometimes it's hundreds of people
and
a lot of people come and they help my
wife they sit in the kitchen and
they just stick to the cake like this
for three hours just chopping potatoes
or whatever it is and each one has a
test you peel the potatoes you peel the
the the
some of you are smiling yeah yeah i was
the i was the cucumbers so
so
so she give tasks you wash this you peel
down you this everybody has a test and
sometimes it's like three hours the same
thing
but nevertheless god gave us also tasks
and the same way that if you come to our
kitchen and if you need to peel potatoes
you get a peeler if you need to cut the
tomatoes you get a knife if you need to
clean the floor you get a broom so same
thing here god gave you a task now he
gives you tools how to do it
now the middle letters of your name are
the tools
how to fulfill your task in this
world and
not only that
it will point on the
reasons of your existence
if you didn't find out yet the reason
for your existence then you have an
issue you have a problem and please
forgive me if my words don't come out
somebody told me not to long in a
lecture you say weird words sometimes i
tell them i'm israeli i'm i said some
word over and over somebody told me it's
not an appropriate word why are you
saying that they said well you know i
might have my english might sound good
but i'm still israelis if i'm saying a
word don't get offended if i say you
have an issue maybe it's my way of
talking but if you don't know your
reason of your existence it's a problem
you have to find what is the reason for
my existence maybe right now in my life
in the next 20 years my reasons to
existence is to raise my kids and after
20 years then when they leave the house
my my reason will change then i will
become i don't know i'll
i'll volunteer to the organization
so it doesn't mean that my entire 60 70
90 years is the same reason
constantly it can change but i need to
know what is the reason why god created
me if god wants me in this planet
there's a reason why i'm here
so the middle letters of the name will
show you the existence the reason of
your existence
not only that it will tell you a lot
about something that is a very deep
teaching in kabbalah and it's called
your will
you don't do anything if you don't have
a will
if you don't have a will to get up in
the morning you're going to stay in bed
if you don't have a will to help
somebody you're not going to do it this
is called in hebrew ratson
and you don't do nothing without this
will now
what will cause you to do something in a
very superficial way is when there's
some type of uh
a paper a payback
so i don't really want to do it but they
pay well
oh i don't want to do this right now but
you know what it's going to be good for
my resume
or whatever it is this is a how you
start analyzing your wheel your razon
now a lot of the things in this world
you really want to do because it's going
to benefit you maybe it's the right
thing to do maybe do it out of the
kindness of your heart
but we are driven by a will and if you
don't have a will you're not going to do
nothing you're going to be sitting at
home all day long in front of a tv
the middle letters of the name will
express the real will
that is engraved on yoneshama
sometimes there's certain things that
you don't understand why that you want
to do and this you don't want to do
and again the middle letters will
express that
more than that
there's something that we possess in us
that most people don't even know that
they have it and it's called your
potential most people are pushing maybe
maybe a tenth of their potential
and most of the effort is going to a
completely different direction not where
it's supposed to go
and which and every one of us has
unbelievable powers
and you're not even using a a a quarter
of it
you know today when we're
when another example with today's flight
today when we were taking off
then we the the plane was brand new
and
and they said you know it's a brand new
play even when we booked the tickets he
said it's a brand new plane and and the
seats are like this and the seats are
unbelievable it is today you know the
windows they don't have that
shutter you click a button and z
and it's it's not something that goes up
that the window becomes from tinted it
becomes not tinted unbelievable and the
window is hot you know usually the
windows are freezing you put you when
you go to sleep you like you wake up in
the morning your face is numb
so
and then you have that mark here but but
nevertheless unbelievable you press a
button i don't even know how they do it
the
the window becomes tinted
so nevertheless brand new plane and as
we started going a little kid threw up
on the floor i'm like it's a brand new
plane what are you doing
i couldn't go to the bathroom and the
students are like it cost the company
like 400 million dollars
but nevertheless
when it was taking off usually
you know some of the planes not too long
ago i had to go somewhere and we had to
get a real cheap ticket so the plane i
was like praying the whole time i mean
this is a very good plane if you want to
pray i was praying that the plane is
just going to take off you know the
wings were like like shaking and the
engine was like you know i was like oh
my god maybe we're not going to make
there's enough jews on the plane we can
make a minion start reading to elim
this plane was brand new we took off i
never seen anything like it we were so
fast going up and i was looking outside
and you see this massive
rolls-royce engine and i'm like wow look
at that
the plane is so fast so powerful you
know that the engine is not even using
10 percent of its power
and and you know
the the plane whatever it goes i don't
know 900 kilometers per hour it can go
double the speed you know sometimes the
pilot tells you listen we went into some
turbulence we're going to catch up well
i'll catch up that half an hour why
can't you step on the gas from the
beginning
so
the thing is that the the i was looking
at the engine of the plane it's so
powerful but it's not even using all its
power
it's almost like you know you buy a
ferrari and you're driving in the
streets at like 20 miles an hour
you know the engine is not even even
moving so the same thing with us we have
such power such potential
most people they're not reasonably using
10 of their power of this potential
not because they don't want to because
they don't know they're not aware of
their own power
so again the middle letters will point
to you of your potential
another thing
the middle letters will show
areas of interest in your life
that a lot of people they they don't
even know certain areas that they they
you know when they find out when they're
60s then they and they and they retire
suddenly they start painting uh one of
our students he's like i don't know 62
suddenly started painting six tears now
you know now you notice that you like
painting he's like i love it i love it
doesn't matter the paintings look like
my three-year-old but it doesn't matter
but
but you know who can argue with art i
mean you know that's what the artist
likes and fine but otherwise he tells me
i'm fine i'm i'm i'm finding about
myself no no it's 60 years too late
don't you think
so
but nevertheless
uh we all have a lot of areas of
interest and sometimes we know about
them something we don't know about them
and very interesting the middle letters
of the name will tell you about
situations in your life
and
it can be you know your marriage can be
shalom sickness or success or whatever
it is those middle letters of the name
will point on that
more than that the
the
the middle letters will expose very deep
parts of your soul and most people don't
don't know about them and they're not
aware of them
the third and last letter i shouldn't
say third but the last letter
and if it's the third
or the fourth or the fifth this is like
the closing circle
and this will actually
show you how to take all this potential
that we just talk about and transmit it
transform it into action
to have the talents to take your
potential and to bring it into action
you need to know how to do it most
people they in potential they're very
good but when it comes to bringing into
action they don't they don't know not to
long ago i met a
certain individual that
he does the marriage counseling and i
mean we
we were talking to him because we you
know a lot of people come to us and we
need somebody professional to help
so we were
you know i was interviewing him and
going through things and then i said
something and maybe you and your wife
can come and spend shabbat with us he's
like well i'm divorced
so i'm like
could you cancel yourself
like if you
if if you what kind of counseling do you
do if you if you got the voice like what
am i going to tell my people the
marriage counselor is divorced i mean
his wife couldn't stand him so of course
i'm not i'm just
trying to be a
ha funny here but nevertheless
uh even a marriage counselor can get
divorced it doesn't mean anything but
nevertheless a lot of people they have a
lot of potential they don't know how to
transform it into action
some people have
great minds but they don't know how to
to
to manifest it into the world the last
letter will give you that power to to
transform the potential into power
and not only that how to actually
bring out your characteristics to
to actually be functioning
now
like i said before sometimes there are
good names sometimes they are bad names
uh
don't get hooked on that because a lot
of the times people read an article or
read something and they're like oh my
name is bad
it's it's not the right way of looking
at it because
it's true that sometimes names are
showing bad things that's why this is
more important to a person that is about
to name a child you don't want to name a
child a name that has something negative
in it because it will affect the person
or if you find out that you have
something negative in your name then you
want to make sure that you change it
sometimes it's just adding a letter and
it changes the entire name you
definitely don't want to keep have
anything negative in the name definitely
not the name of somebody in the past
there was a mass murderer or they want
to call you son bilaam or anything like
that
so
you know we we have a whole
we have a convert program
and we have a whole group of converts
when they want to convert we we prepare
them we work with the sunbedin and we we
help a lot of converts and they have a
big question with the name so one time
one of the girls came and she wanted to
name herself a name from the tanakh but
it wasn't such a
great profession and she was like i
wanna i like that name i was like well
uh
i don't think you should name yourself
that name it's not gonna be associated
well on your resume
so she wasn't such a great star in the
tanakh maybe you can think of something
nice maybe sarah or maybe
why do you want to name yourself after a
certain individual but nevertheless you
don't want to name a person especially
when you have a new child coming
somebody wicked or
shalom there's many different criterias
what you don't want to
but we do know that when something
negative in the name it does affect the
individual
there is a famous story in the talmud
there was one tana around sage is known
as rabimer
and he was a student of akiva a very
good friend of uh
if you've been to israel he's buried in
terri be male balanese nevertheless he
was a professional in names everything
he would look into names and there's a
very very very very famous story that
one time he and another two rabbis rabbi
ud and rabiosi they went on a journey
and the stories that they went there to
collect money
i thought that only the rabbis in our
generation have to go and fundraise but
apparently two thousand years ago they
also had to go and fundraise but
nevertheless the story says that they
went to fundraise to
redeem prisoners to do a very big
mitzvah pidgeon
they had the money on shabbat they
parked somewhere and they didn't know
what to do with the money they had a lot
of money the udemy bossie went to the
clerk in the hotel and they gave him the
money
and
came to the clerk and he asked him
what's your name
says my name is kido so he says thank
you so much i'm not giving you my money
and he went and hid it the story says
that he went to some cemetery out of the
out of the
village and he hid it there he said
nobody will go and look for money next
to graves
after shabbat rabiut and rabbi yossi
they come to pick up the money and the
clerk tells them i don't know what money
what do you mean what money we gave you
we deposit buy you a lot of money
no i don't know what you're talking
about and he took their money
they came to rabiot he said how did you
know not to give him the money so abby
mayor says very simple i asked him his
name and he told me his name is kido
there's no way so what if the name is
gido so he quoted a verse from the book
of dwarim
and
with the translation is because this is
a generation that very quickly turns on
you and it says the name didn't sound
well kiddo it's like i understood from
that and he is an individual that the
characteristic of it that right away you
give him to take care of him he you'll
disappear with your money
so we do know that the name affects a
lot the person
and
it can affect the person in a very good
way it can affect the person in a very
negative way
so
you want to know especially if you're
about to name a child then you want to
know
things that you should name or not name
and again for yourself
then
again don't need to panic and go out of
the room today to start panicking but
sometimes
when you do want to analyze your name
this is when things arouse then you want
to look at things like that
but nevertheless
you know a lot of people now inventing
names in our generation i don't know how
it is in america because the american
enemies it's in english but in israel
unfortunately people invent names they
just come up with all sorts of names
there's not such a name even but it just
sounds cool
we don't have the power to invent names
our forefathers they knew how to invent
names because they knew they had a holy
spirit and they knew how to put the
letters together so they came up with
names like for example when yaakov and
his two wives
they invented names basically and every
name that every child that came they
named the child and the torah says why
they named the child yehuda and shimon
and roven and so forth
so they had the power to invent names
and then meaning to see the combination
of the letters together and to make a
name out of it and we see many times in
the torah how a certain individual the
famous ones of course is
when abraham was named afram he couldn't
have kids when sarai was named sarai she
couldn't have kids all they did is
switch letters with abraham they added a
letter suddenly his whole masala changed
the story says that abraham
told him you are going to have a child
abraham was in a very high special
special a spiritual level it says that
the kalos took him out of the tent and
he showed them the stars
the the teachings of kabbalah explains
he didn't take him out of the tent he
took him out of the universe he elevated
the moving above the world and he showed
him the consolation of the stars
astrology and showed him you see about
the stars from the structure of the
stars you know we're not going to have a
child but when you go above that we can
change your mazal and you will have a
child
same thing with sarai her name was sarai
they changed the name she became sarah
she was able to have a child
so we see that sometimes when you change
something in the name it will change
your masala we're going to talk about
that very soon about the masala
which of course is translated as luck
but it's not the luck that you want to
have in atlantic city it's a different
luck
but nevertheless
when you're starting with your name like
i said before you want to have at least
three names three letters
not less than three letters not these
short names and
if you are in a place that you're about
to name a child then you want to take
the consideration a few things that are
very bad that people do is one of them
people name now names of girls to boys
and girls names of boys or girls this is
not a good thing to do and it affects
the person in a in a very deep way and
it's very popular in our generation that
they take a a a name that is known for a
boy and they call it for a girl and
again in english it's different because
the names are in different talking about
jewish hebrew names
also when you want to name somebody it's
not good to name somebody on somebody
who died very young or somebody that
shalom did something extreme but in a
very negative way and needless to say
somebody who's wicked and somebody that
the the meaning of the name is negative
sometimes the people's names the meaning
of the name is a very negative thing
and you don't want to hold and to carry
such of a name
now what else can we learn from the name
is that
if you're looking at the word soul
the word soul in hebrew is written nun
shin mem hey
now
the every word especially in hebrew
has a certain meaning to it this is
something that is very difficult when i
try to teach certain things sometimes i
can't find the right word in english and
some words you can only say it in hebrew
there's no words for that in english
and sometimes it's very difficult to
come and explain a certain
concept because there's no words for
that
and then you have to start painting some
type of an explanation but the words in
hebrew every word has a meaning
and there's a whole meaning behind it
it's not that somebody just say popped
up a word
so if you're looking at the word soul in
hebrew which is neshama
then
it comes and tells us something very
interesting about the name
but before we we dissect that it's
important to know that the words they
have very significant power
and
if you're looking at the at the
entire torah look for example the name
of the first man adam
why is he called adam
because he was created from the soil
from adama
and not only that he resembles the
person in the world above so adam comes
from the word hebrew adame i would look
like
so you see that the words in hebrew they
have a very a strong meaning to that
now not only that in the actual word is
hidden
a certain
definition of something physical
that's how we see that i said it before
that how severe it is
and lying and slandering and cheating
everything that we do with our mouth
this is a problem because a lot of
people observant not observant and in
the observant world
you know very a lot of people are very
particular with what they eat i'm sure
you noticed that some people dissect
little things to find a microscopic worm
or they look at the certification if
it's not with certification they're not
going to eat it but but what goes into
their mouth is a filter there but what
goes out of the mouth
all the junk that comes out of the mouth
is that there's no filter there
so this is why the torah is so
particular how severe is everything that
comes out of my mouth because the words
they have a very strong meaning to them
now going back to the word neshama that
we talked about
then
we'll dissect the the word neshama which
means soul if you're taking the first
letter which is the noon the noon
represents the 50th gate 50th gate i'm
sure you heard about it in moshe albino
he was able to reach the 50th gate the
highest level in the spiritual term
and this is called the 50th gate of
holiness
and this is the highest level that
anybody can climb spiritually and well
we know that really we we know that only
martial are being was able to reach to
that level but nevertheless this is is
showing to us the highest level
that one can reach in the spiritual way
not only that the higher a person wants
to grow spiritually of course
then there's a certain character trait
that has to be very dominating and this
is the character trait that is called
anavah to be humble moshe albania was
the most humble person ever existed and
therefore he was able to climb to such a
high level if a person doesn't have that
character trait he will never grow
spiritually that's why the greater the
person wants to be the more humble the
person has to make himself and it says
about moshe rabbin
nobody was as as humble as moshe rabbin
he was the symbol of the highest level
of anova
now the lowest level
the opposite of anova is geva that's
proud pride or what we call it in our
generation an ego
and uh
we we started a course
about a certain concept we have a cd out
when you go out you can take it the cds
are are free it's the course is called
the introduction for tikkuna midot for
refinement of your character and we
explain they're very in depth
that there's always going to be good
character traits and bad character
traits everybody has some good and some
bad there's no such a thing that you
have only good and there's no such thing
that you only have bad you need to know
what are the good ones so you can
empower them and you need to know what
the bad ones so you can refine them but
the best and the highest and the most
positive character traits on the right
side on the positive side is the meda
the character trait of being humble and
and that will birth all the good midot
all the good character traits and on the
negative side is the media of of gervais
being uh
pride too much proud
we call it ego too much ego
now
the noon if you're looking at the shape
of the noon it looks like a person that
is bending down
why because as again it's representing
the medata nava
that's why that you see that a nun has a
another type of unknown the one that
goes at the end of the the word and
that's a very long no not one long line
why because the ones that are humble in
this world in the world to come because
makes them the most straight and the
most great that's when you see the
greatness of a person when they're a
person is very very humble
now
the noon the 50th gate is representing
the peak the highest level of
spirituality when anybody
can reach not only that it's the level
that you want to strive to get to
that's why i started the lecture by
saying don't ever be satisfied with
where you're holding there's no such a
thing that you reach to your potential
or to the highest level you should never
be satisfied with where you are
now so the noon represents the highest
level in the spiritual world now the
last letter of the word neshama
is the last letter is the hey
hey represents this world what's called
now the kenosha who created the world
with the letter hey
it says that that uh that when nakado
who created the world there's a verse in
the torah it says
this is the the creation of the heavens
and the earth
if you read the word in one one way
it's you will read it
but if you separated it
with the letter hey the kaloshva who
created the heaven and the earth
the our sages interpret why did hashem
create the the word the world
specifically with the letter hey because
it's the only letter that is very easy
to pronounce you don't have to move
anything
you can say hey like this hey
you don't have to move your lips you
don't have to move your jaw you don't
have to move your tongue you don't have
to do movement in your mouth any other
letter you have to start moving things
around alec
hey you can speak like uh how do you
call the ones that they talk with from
the top puppet
no the
ventriloquist yeah so they're just so
saying hey it's very easy so you can be
a hey very different quilters just say
hey hey hey so
it's not going to be so popular show but
nevertheless so our sages say hashem
created the the world with the letter
hey to show you that for him to create a
world is nothing it's just to say hey
hey and there's a world
but nevertheless
this hay is the last la hey in the name
of hashem youtube
and this is referring to the world of
asia the lowest of all worlds so you
have a contrast the noon is the highest
spiritual place and the hay is the
lowest spear lowest of all
now
if you're looking at the shape of a hay
i mean i can't do it like that because
it's going to be opposite so it will
actually be like this but just imagine
the hay in your in your mind
the hay doesn't have a base it's a open
underneath
bit for example has a base has a floor
nothing can fall down hey it's a
dangerous letter because there's a pit
you can easily fall down and there's no
nothing to support from the bottom
so
hey
represents that in this world you can
fail you can fall in one second into the
pits of the world
you have to be very careful how you uh
conducting yourself in this world but if
a person falls or fails in this world
then our torah says there's nothing to
be worried about don't lose your hope
as our sages say as long as the candle
is lit up you can still fix
there's a famous story the there was a
certain
uh tailor not a tailor a shoemaker
and the rabbi gave him uh
shoes to fix
and uh he came with to him at night and
he says can you still fix him so he told
him something so simple yeah as long as
the candle's still lit i can fix the
shoes and he's like wow look at that as
long as the candle is lit you can still
fix as long as you're still in this
world you can fix anything that you did
anything wrong in this world
but nevertheless
the hay if you're looking at the hay has
a window on the top a little window
between the little little chop chick a
person can come come in and to to fix
your actions how do you fix your actions
with the hey what is hey hey numerical
value of haze five
this is referring to the five books of
moses
that you want to fix your actions you
can find the all the information in the
torah
now for example
when if you're looking at you're
comparing the hay to another letter
that's very similar to the letter hit
the head just has the continuation
between that little line of the hay and
the head of course represents the
the
to the the sin head is a sin
is also a halon hello is a window it
comes to to
thanks
is also coming from the word in hebrew
to clean
but nevertheless we have two
letters in the name one of them is the
noon is the peak of of creation and the
highest level spirituality and hey is
the lowest
now what connects
the lowest of all and the highest of all
because we have the noon in the
beginning and the hand there in the end
what's inside of it the shin and the mem
the shame the name
the name of the person is the connection
between the lowest which means my body
in this world and the
noon the highest level the highest level
of the shaman in the world above
and the name of the person
these are these channels these pipes the
kabbalistic term to it is the notes you
know it's like a pipe
and the name is the pipe that connects
the shema from the world above to the
world below
and
the the shin and the meme shin is a
letter that comes from the
the
element of fire you see that even the
the shape of a shin is like flames
and the letter mem comes from the
element of water
calm and happy and tranquil and all that
and we know this is something that i'm
going to go very briefly because i see
we're really running out of time
is that everything in this world is
created with four elements
earth
fire water and air
both in the physical world and in the
spiritual world
now all the letters
they're getting a certain energy they're
fed they're affected by
each one of the elements
each element
is affecting a group of letters
just that you'll know i'll go through
through it very quickly so you can maybe
recognize in your name
we know four elements
fire
excuse me earth air and water it's very
important because this is a very
dominating part in the name reading
and each element is responsible for a
group of letters the element of fire is
affecting the letters gimel the letter
dalid the letter hey the letter tet the
letter kaff the letter summer and the
letter shin
if you have one of these letters in your
name especially the beginning of your
name then you know that you are mostly
influenced by the element of fire so
letters in beginner can be gedalia it
can be gila it can be
guidon and so forth and dalit of course
davido dina and many others uh hey
what letters that we have in hey what
names we have in a hilah or
whatever i'm gonna say
naming every word here but again the
letters that are affected by the element
of fire bet
now it makes a huge difference if it's
the first letter of the name the second
the third or the fourth if it's the
first letter of the name
then the majority or what affects the
individual is from that element and
that's a very easy way we're going to go
a little bit now just so you can get the
idea of it because the elements are are
what's going to affect me the most
now the letters that are fed that are
influenced by the element of earth
is bet
you'd ein and pay so if you have any of
these letters in your name bet can be
binyamin and benny or bella or
i mean you'll think about it yourself
and
many others and again valve you'd ein
and pay the letters that are affected
from the element of water
are get
if i'm going too fast then let me know
that you want you to kind of recognize
it in your name noon
taf
and the letters that are affected by the
element of air
are aleph sign lamed
so again if you recognize one of the
letters in your name
and
especially the the first letter then you
can kind of start analyzing already from
the elements where you're being
influenced sometimes you'll have a name
that has two letters that are air
and one
earth and one water you have to they
have to see where it's positioned
but for the you want to say the letters
again
so esh is gimmel
dali just remem try to recognize in your
name i mean don't go with g o d
more gimmel in dalit
and then
uh and shin these are letters of fire of
earth will be bet
you the iron and pay
this is earth
air is aleph zine
lamid pay salvik
[Music]
you already start to analyze and again
when it's the first letter is
completely different if it's the second
or the third letter
now the ones who have a dominating
letter from the element of fire
sometimes you have one name that has the
same element three times
the element of fire
now this is another thing is that the
letters are also influenced by the signs
by the signs of astrology and this opens
a whole nother thing but again i don't
want to talk about it too much because
then it confuses people because then
they say wait a minute if i my letter
starts with an alif and my sign is a leo
how is that working together that's
where the name the name reading becomes
more sophisticated because the every
element will be affected by a certain
sign
i'm just saying that you know as a as a
information
in most cases the people that they have
a letters of fire in their name they'll
be very uh initiative usually they'll
have a certain entrepreneurial uh
character trait they'll be a very warm
and loving person very optimist very
positive person
very strong opinions
very strong
self
confidence
very very determined very very er er
what's the word in hebrew it's called
the roots is somebody very hard worker
now
fire for example has a very unique
character trait
that it has six types of powers running
in it three of them are positive three
of them are negative
fire can be very very positive because
fire can cook
and fire can warm and wire fire can
sterilize but fire can be on the
negative side of it can be destructive
it can burn it can make something
completely completely dark it can
be destructive completely so a person
that has a letter that is fed and
influenced by the element of fire it all
depends how the fire is directed the
fire can be directed to something
extremely extremely positive and the
fire can be directed to something
extremely negative
the element of earth
a lot of people
are are affected by the element of earth
in a very negative way not only for
their for their name even for their
character traits
but
people that have a letter of the of
earth in their name especially the first
letter then they'll be a very physical
materialistic person
they'll
care a lot what car they have how the
clothes are looking where the status the
watch and all this i'm not saying
anything bad about i'm just saying the
person will be very into materialistic
things
but on the positive side will be a very
practical person
and a very uh
secure person always go on the safe side
no you're not going to be a person who
makes investments in weird things
always going to look for a very secure
framework
not a person that is you know one day
here and one day there
very stable you know a lot of people
when they hire workers they want to look
at stuff like that because they don't
care so much if you are a creative
person they want to see if you're stable
they want to see if you're persistent
they want to see if you're loyal
so the element of earth will have all
these qualities not only that are very
very usually the very mature people very
serious people very responsible people
uh
very great discipline
great soldiers a lot of patients very
strong good common sense
and so forth
the positive part of the element of
earth
is that a good soil grows everything
some places if you're into agriculture
doesn't matter what you're going to put
in the earth it's going to grow
and some places doesn't matter what
you're going to put in the ground
nothing's going to come out
so the positive part of the element of
earth that has the potential of growth
and not only growth that whatever they
touch becomes gold whatever they do
they'll they'll counsel marriage
they'll make it work then whatever they
they whatever they will turn to it will
be very very successful
now again if you find one of these
letters in your name and it can be again
it can be one of the middle letters can
be in the beginning at the end it has a
different power to it but nevertheless
if you know to recognize the letter in
your name and you know how to empower it
then you can bring all these good
character traits out into fruition
now the negative part of earth
is that
it's very very heavy it's a very heavy
element
and if you feed this element too much
you become depressed and sad
and heavy and no
desire to do anything and unfortunately
many people they feed their element of
earth and then they wake up in the
morning you know the alarm clock gets a
punch and the blanket goes over the head
i don't want to do anything
become very sad and very heavy and very
depressed and so forth you have to be
very very careful with this element
uh just to continue because we're really
uh
running out of time the next element is
air
and
air is a very unique uh element and i'm
gonna touch it in a second why but
nevertheless people who have the the
letters of air in their name first of
all will be very bright ideas probably
all the good ideas that coming out to
this world are people with a very strong
element of air you're going to have a
lot of good ideas
very creative very uh
developed very intellectual
very logic very logistic everything is a
very good business people uh their mind
very very deep very deep learners they
don't learn on the surface some people
they want to learn just show me how to
press the button some people they say i
don't want to know how to press the
button i want to know how the whole
system works
so
a person that has a air elements in
their name they're going to be
very very into learning and to
understanding everything very high level
of self-awareness
very
creative very uh
very
social very
friendly
very very high
level quick
understanding in things
very good communication
very curious
and so forth a person that usually
doesn't have any uh
uh
chigra like uh
every day the same thing
everything every day has to be what
non-menorah the complete opposite every
day has to be somewhere else or
something else if it becomes too much of
a routine they they drive them nuts so
not a person of routine
uh
which will affect their opinions they're
very easy to they're not going to be
strong in their opinions they're going
to listen to you listen to you okay let
me get from everybody
uh
good and not good very restless when it
comes to they want to know and if i
don't know if i couldn't figure it out
they're not going to rest till they do
it
the extra character trait that is very
unique with the air
quality
is that air can affect all the other
elements
and if you have a letter in your name
that especially the first letter of air
then it's a very powerful uh element
because air can affect all the other
elements and overpower them if you're
taking for example fire
the air can make the fire stronger and
the air can turn the fire out
if you're looking at water
if air comes very very strong then it
will make unbelievable huge waves but if
there's already already waves the air
coming from a different direction will
quiet in the the waves
same thing with earth if it's coming in
a nice way you know you know if in
agriculture without a a winds you can't
do anything the winds they carry the
seeds they move things around but if the
air comes in
strong into the earth it will come as a
tornado as a hurricane will be
destructive
so it's a very powerful element a
because however you direct it it becomes
extremely extremely powerful but more
than that it has the ability to
overpower the other elements
so
you gotta recognize the letters of
of earth of air in your in your name
and the last element is water
and
people who are
influenced a lot by the element of water
will be very very sensitive very
emotional everything is just the from
the heart they'll get hurt very fast
they'll be forgiving very very fast
they're going to be very giving in the
reason
what do you want to write whatever you
want
and uh
very quickly to give in
uh
they're never going to make decisions
based off common sense it's all from the
heart this is my wife there's no no no
real common sense in the decision might
you do that
that's what i feel
so
not making it there's no good for
business
so but nevertheless
they don't make any decisions with their
common sense or logistic it's just heart
which in one way it can be amazing
another way can be also not so great
uh everything is from the heart very
warm people very giving where we
will volunteer to do anything the first
one that will raise their hand to help
the first one that will do anything to
help other people
uh
very given very generous and so forth
there's only one very bad thing with the
element of water very very moody
one day is this and the next day is that
and very not predictable in the moods
the problem with water with the element
of water
is that
they're so sensitive that they usually
build a lot of walls around them so they
tend to look like very cold people
or very snobby but they're really not
they just build a certain wall i don't i
can't get hurt very very sensitive
people
so
again
we in the
classes that we already started just the
last week we did
three classes just about the elements
more dissecting it into more into depth
it's extremely extremely on the money
and very very helpful all you need to
know is to recognize the first letter
the second letter the third letter what
element it's feeding from yeah it
already gives you 50 of the analysis of
your characteristics what you need to
work on what you need to not work on you
need to recognize when it comes to the
elements the the the positive parts in
it and the negative parts in it and if
you know where to tilt the energy the
the effect
that's when you know how to empower the
element
now
since we're going to go real
fast more uh
like i said every letter has a positive
side and a negative side like we just
unders
talked with the elements you just need
to recognize what is the positive what
is the negative so you can put more uh
power on it to to emphasize the good and
to diminish the bad
now
one thing one element that is really
influenced a lot the letter
is what's called masala
mazal is not a good word to translate in
english because in english it's called
luck
and you say to somebody good luck
this is not masaltov good luck is when
you go to the casino and you
start again the seven
so this is not the luck we're talking
about
this is you know i'm sure you went to a
wedding to agree to something what is
the wish masalto why you said masalto
just write a check i'm assaltov so
but we wish each other
birthday everything but again masala is
not the luck that you want to go when
you're filling up the lottery masala
comes from the word in hebrew nazeel
nazil is something that is leaking
in hebrew when you have a leak it's
called nazila something is leaking from
above to below this is masala it's a
certain energy that comes from the world
above
to
penetrate in the world below
what is really masala the translation of
masala is a spiritual system
that assists me
in this world this is mazaar that's why
we say masal tov you have a good masala
and other people they're very into the
masala how can i affect my masala
so it's true this is not a fiction
and again masala is a spiritual system
that is given to you to assist you in
this world this is what masala is
now we talked to before about a little
bit about astrology astrology there's
nothing wrong with that there's a book
written by the ram khal amhal rabbi
moshe
and he has a book called
and he says there the astrology is is
true
but it's not precise
it just gives you a
very broad
picture it's very limited it doesn't
give you details that's why for example
we know in the torah we know a lot of
situations a lot of stories about
astrology and the torah
for example
when paul
decided to throw all the male boys into
the to the river why because his
astrologies told him today
the boy the man the redeemer of this
nation is born and he's going to get uh
punished or is going to be hit by the
water so paul says ah i'll take now all
the first borns and i'll throw them into
the water
but they they weren't accurate they said
yes they were right about that he was
born today and where
moshe rabino got punished when he hit
the rock with the water he didn't talk
to the rock he hit the rock so they gave
a good good picture but it wasn't
precise so astrology
it's good but it's not giving you all
the details that you need to know
uh it gives you scenarios but without
details
but on the other hand the masala of a
person is extremely precise
now another thing is that we have in
that what is driving us is our destiny
is our faith
and this is called in hebrew gohal
now
i'm born already with all that
predestined there's a place in the
talmud and attracted me down that it
says when the
parents are together
they're conceiving a child there's a
certain angel that comes and takes a
drop
from the egg takes that drop to the
master of the universe and says to the
master of the universe this drop what is
going to be with this
is that person that's going to come out
of this drop it's going to be tall short
attractive not attractive rich poor
powerful smart
what is going to be
and the kalosh bro says everything is
going to be with that person everything
is predestined this is where the famous
quote comes from
everything is in the hands of the
heavens besides god fearing so we're
already coming down here predestined how
much money i'm going to make who i'm
going to marry
how many kids i'm going to have
everything is already pre-destined i can
of course change it i can add i can
extract i can affect it i can change my
my masala that's why we say masalto and
that's why we mush people with masala
i can change my fate depends on my
actions but nevertheless it's already
predestined
the easiest way to to understand it you
go into a car and you punch in the gps
your destination your gps is going to
tell you you can take this route it has
no tolls you can take this route it has
tolls but less traffic you can take this
trout it's not on a highway it's going
to take you through the little streets
you're going to reach the same
destination but you're going to go on a
different route you choose the route
that is good for you now what happens
when suddenly you take a wrong turn then
the gps goes
recalculating and
it takes you to a different route now
you're changing your your
your you like the sound effect yeah so i
worked for waze once i used to do the
sounds
so
same thing here i have already the map
planned out
i'm choosing on which route i'm going
and i can also
choose how to change the destination by
the way
i can be destined to get married and my
marriage will be
the best marriage ever and my marriage
can be horrible but if i'm destined to
be married to a certain woman a certain
amount of time that's what's going to
happen how is the marriage going to be
that depends on many things and this is
one example of many but nevertheless
there is a place in the talmud
specifically interacted rosh hashanah
and and it says there are four things
can uh
change so to say the decree of a person
now we're standing in the month of elul
in a month i don't know if you're going
to be in this show but then you're going
to be standing in one show and it's rosh
hashanah
and you know what we prayed to hashem to
rip
the verdict
rip it you know the whole year i was
lying and chilling and
the material they have there we're
asking for forgiveness and we're asking
rashem to rip this
this decree
so the talmud says that there are four
things that can rip so to say the decree
the exalting the
the evil decree of a person
and this is extremely important to know
now in elul because now we want to start
doing jewel but nevertheless the four
things that can change my fate it says
charity
means prayer
hashem changing the name and shiroi
masim and changing the actions
if a person runs into some type of a
situation in his life
and i'm talking about a negative
situation
problem with with the business can get
married can have a child sickness
whatever it is
first of all a person has to make a
quick analysis maybe i'm doing something
wrong because something is wrong
happening maybe i'm doing something
wrong maybe there's a certain sin that
i'm doing and i'm causing a certain
blockage
this massage this shift of the energy
can come down
if you have a clogged drain then
everything starts flowing you it doesn't
it doesn't it doesn't pass
freely so if something happens in my
life right away i have to make an
analysis maybe i did something
and if i can find that i did something
okay maybe it's just a test maybe
whatever it is something a reaction from
the past but nevertheless when i'm
finding myself in a certain situation in
my life and really that's why we kind of
started learning this tonight because
tonight you're not going to walk out of
the door analyzing a name
but you want to know some tools
that will affect things in your life and
when i run into some type of a
difficulty in my life then maybe
something's wrong here maybe there's a
certain decree maybe i did something or
something is going on that this energy
this abundance cannot come through
so the talmud says there are four ways
that you can change it that you can
annul this decree and like i said this
charity is praying changing the name and
changing your actions sometimes you do a
certain action maybe maybe you just have
to change your action maybe you have to
be a little bit less judgmental maybe
you have to be a little bit less jealous
or less
angry or whatever it is
you have to figure out already by
yourself what you need to
to figure out what is the
the the
cause
that you can't get through a certain
obstacle in this world because when
there's an obstacle is hashem hinting to
you that you need to jump over it
so
really tonight there's not enough time
not even in one
lecture to go through everything about
the names tonight we were just throwing
a few ideas in the air
uh
for the ones that are very interested to
learn much more that i told you we
started now learning it in a very in
more in depth
there's going to be i don't know and how
many classes of it is going to be but
it's going to be a lot by the way it
went in the last week it's going to be a
lot a lot of classes but it's going to
be very thorough
and very
detailed
then again i'm not going to give you a
certification at the end of the course
that you can start analyzing names but
you're definitely going to know much
more about your own name
so i highly recommend that you join the
the classes
and i think the easiest way to join the
classes since the the course is not
posted yet online is maybe you can just
uh
maybe leave your email or email us that
you were interesting to get information
about the course and then when the
course goes online you can right away
get a notification
and and add yourself but i highly
recommend that if you like this then go
and learn the whole thing because really
today we just
scratched the surface
but one great thing and this is really
the purpose why i wanted to give it over
is because each and every one of us
we run into certain difficulties in our
life
and the difficulty can be a financial
problem can be a physical can be mental
can be emotional could be something
going on in my life
that i would want to change it
and you really need to take all the
information that we talked about tonight
to know how to apply it into your life
because really
if you walk out of this door tonight and
you don't apply anything in your life to
change or to refine yourself then you
kind of wasted your time
you might go out with a prize out of
tonight but that's not the why you came
here you came here to go with some some
tool
so i would
uh uh divide it into three the first of
all is that you want to find out these
questions that i said in the beginning
why why was i created where where am i
heading what is my purpose in this
world am i really fulfilling my purpose
in this world am i doing what hashem
wants me to do this is number one the
second thing is
everybody has difficult difficulties in
their life i don't believe anybody
everything their their life is perfect
and the reason why i'm saying that is
not because i'm assuming it it's because
i get on an average day about a thousand
or two thousand emails not that i'm
checking the emails but that's the
quantities of emails we get every day
not too long i met somebody like i
emailed you i was like
oh okay
you emailed me i don't even check emails
so we have seven girls they're checking
emails i'm not checking emails don't get
offended if i don't answer you so he
says but i emailed you and i was like
okay so you're going to the you know and
the order it was received and how does
that record said but nevertheless why am
i saying that not to brag but to say
that our system gets thousands and
thousands of emails and messages every
day
and i can tell you that i don't get much
positive emails i'm not getting emails
of people telling me don't ask
everything is great everything's amazing
the emails that i get are devastating
stories i can't find my other half my
child is sick this is this is that
everything is everybody has problems
so you want to take that and say maybe
maybe this channel that the abundance is
coming from the world above to the world
below something in between there's a
disconnection
and like the analysis that i gave with
the name with the word neshama the name
is what's in between the name can hint
to you what are you doing something
wrong maybe you're doing something wrong
and it doesn't mean that you have to
change your name doesn't have to mean
that you have to add a letter it means
that you have to analyze the name and
understand maybe i'm not putting enough
emphasis on this
and i'm damaging here and what happens
now the masala this
tool that hashem wants to give me it
doesn't make the way down
and the third thing that i would want to
to to express that before you leave is
that we're standing now a month before
rosh hashanah this is now the beginning
of the month of elul the month of
people start now getting their act
together spiritually oh my god in a
month i'm standing in front of hashem
what am i going to do
so this is the month where you really
want to apply wait a minute am i how was
my year
as my last 11 months was good was i
really doing what hashem wants me to do
and again you don't have to
be the chief member of the world to make
this analysis in your mind
you're a jew you have a holy soul
because
expectations from you you have to have
expectations of yourself doesn't mean
that you have to go now admit yourself
to yeshiva tomorrow it means that you
have to make an analysis in your mind am
i doing what hashem wants me to do
and the torah is not necessarily telling
you that you have to admit yourself in
yeshiva the torah tells you first of all
be a match be a normal human being
but nevertheless since the time is so
auspicious that you have one to take
that to consideration say what can i do
that if hashem this exalting there's a
decree
hanging over my head then what is the
talmud said i can pray then start
praying i can give charity i can change
my name and i can change my actions so
you want to focus on these four things
praying and now we're going to start
saying
every day
i hope that people will say sleekhorses
a lot what to say
but nevertheless you want to increase in
prayer
and again a lot of people's people are
people who tell them prayer oh no now
you're going to make me religious i'm
not making anybody religious i'm just
telling you
even if you pray with the words with
your own words not with the with the
book but nevertheless we have to
increase in prayer you are definitely
increasing in charity especially in the
month of elul and then the changing of
the name you don't have to change your
name but you want to learn more about
your name how can you change
the information that the name is giving
you if you know that you're influenced a
lot by a certain element and the element
is causing you to behave a certain way
so don't take the fire to be destructive
take the fire to be productive
and then of course changing your actions
and change your action to positive
actions this is the time to change it
you have to look at yourself saying
maybe i'm not being so nice to my wife
maybe i'm very judgmental towards other
people maybe i use a lot of false
language maybe i uh
uh not a hundred percent honest so it
doesn't matter who you are what's your
spiritual status these are things that
every person has to apply in their life
a lot of people think that being
observant is me being in the show 12
hours a day this is not what the torah
torah tells you first of all let's start
with the more internal things let's
start with stop being judgmental
you see a situation don't judge the
person so fast don't right away come up
to conclusions this is a very bad
character trait don't be dishonest don't
cheat don't curse a lot of people with
the junk that's coming out of their
mouth it's unbelievable what people
comes out of their mouth refine a little
bit of words people don't put any
emphasis on that the the the words that
comes out of your mouth are creating a
reality
i bet you that you can nod your head
whenever what i'm about to say now most
people if they bang their foot at the
door or the corner
of the of the bed or something right
away comes down a word but not a nice
word
and why are you saying that word just
say i o ouch why are you saying all
sorts of words
somebody cuts you in the street oh you
already cursed him his father the mother
you curse the whole family
and then you already know the mother's
profession the father's profession you
already know what did the guy do maybe
he's in a rush to the hospital to take
his wife i don't know
so the junk is coming out of our mouth
we don't even notice when i became
observant
every second word that came out of my
mouth was the curse
and i want to say the words the a word
the b word the b the c word all the the
you know the letter words but why you
have to use these words you're creating
a very negative reality around you when
you're saying all these words
and sometimes people how they talk to
each other they kind of like curse each
other in a friendly way it's not a way
to to talk i mean these are little
things that people don't put so much
emphasis into that and they're saying
that's what the torah is saying yeah
that's what i say
monitor what comes out of your mouth
because every word that you spit into
the reality it changes the energy in the
in the in the world try one day not to
curse at all
and i'm not saying i mean some people
have the words that comes out of the
mouth is a curse but try to clean your
language for one day you'll see the
energy is completely different
trying one day not to talk
you'll see that your energy completely
changed i'm not joking there is uh
customs in our religion that people fast
when they want to refine themselves and
some people don't talk it's called the
tanidibu and i became observant i didn't
talk for many days i would just go
without talking you can't even believe
how it refines your your your soul you
have a bad day bad energy around you
throughout the day monitor what came out
what came out of your mouth
how many lashonda you said how much line
you said how much curses you said and so
forth
so again
this is a this is how you change your
actions a lot of people think oh now i
have to become observer and i'm going to
be in trouble now three times a day and
now this is not necessarily what you
need to do you need to look at yourself
how can i refine myself to be a much
more better person i constantly look at
myself and i want to get feedback
sometimes it's annoying especially when
the people tell you the truth in your
face you don't like that who wants to
hear the truth in their face how bad you
are but you want to because that's
what's going to help you refine yourself
when somebody criticizes you thank them
tell them thank you so much
don't react take the words
sleep on it think about it and you'll
see that just by not reacting by that
you're already refining yourself
so that said i hope that there's enough
information to walk out of the doors and
not only that you better yourself
that you can apply that in this month
that the entire month above
in front of us will be a very productive
month
because
comes rosh hashanah everything
that's going to happen in the next year
is determined on that day everything how
much money you're going to make who
you're going to marry how your
relationships will be healthy not
healthy everything is determined on that
day but you have to approach that day
after you repented and that you and
removed all the junk from you
so bazaar shem
i hope that you can go out from tonight
with some
some great change the point is to change
is not to just sit here and warm up a
chair the point is to go out of the door
and say how can i apply this in my life
how can i change something in my life
that i will become a much better person
and if you did that then you'll gain
your not only your
an amazing sweet and happy new year you
gain your eternity this is what you
really want to focus on and to learn
more about the names like i told you
we'll learn it's all going to be posted
online just get a big bag of popcorn and
watch and just uh
this is the advantage with the line by
the way somebody told me why don't you
want big classrooms i said because when
people watch online then i'd only hear
them
so sometimes in the classes somebody
eats the pretzels and the whole class
so
i told my wife better than to sit online
that way they can sit barefoot feet on
the table and uh
hashem
everything will be posted online you can
enjoy the rest of the teachings and all
the
the depth in it
but i really want to wish you all
that you leave this room tonight with a
huge change in your heart in your mind
that you understand how you need to
refine yourself what you need to refine
and the point is you just want to better
yourself you want to become a better
husband a better wife a better boss a
better sibling a better friend a better
jew a better human being that's the
point and bizarre hashem you do that
then hashem is going to bless you with
an abundance that you're not going to
even know where how to handle it hashem
just wants to give you we are the ones
who are blocking what we're receiving
for many different things just let go
let hashem give you this abundance this
shaykh for this unbelievable masala the
abundance and you're the one who's
holding the tools just let go let hashem
do that and hashem will bless you with a
not only an amazing year with health and
wealth and success and happiness and
amazing relationships and blessed
healthy kids and you should be healthy
and parmasan should be in abundance and
everything that you wish for yourself
should be in in a great abundance both
in the physical and the spiritual
[Music]
you
