The Soul of Israel: Loving Enough Not To Care

[Music] Shalom everyone this is pets you're listening to the soul of Israel I feel like part of my soul is not really hasn't really been complete for many reasons one of them is because of the Land of Israel comm network that I've been neglecting just due to world travels and the Jewish calendar but my heart and soul is always with the station is always with my dear friend rabbi re Abramowitz good morning how are you my friend missed you a lot everyone missed everyone very very much all I don't know if I could say good things I think I think it's a very painful time in a museum with as we spoke about last we were together about the murder of our neighbor and dear friend already fold which is still surreal when I say those words does not seem like it's real and all the holidays and and and whatnot and I was in the Ukraine last week and I'm heading out to Canada next week sigh there's just a lot a lot going on bro /m by me by you by all of us by all this but if we could just grab a few minutes when we can that's what it's all about you know I was last week in Ukraine by the gravesite of it be nice when a breslav in the town of Oman and his student would be not ton of breast of an InTown a breslav and over Shabbos I was learning a piece from her be nice on her breast of a letter he had written to his son Ravi it stuck and he wrote to his son he said to him my dear son most people like to feel that things are working good for them when they achieved goals it's true we should be goal oriented to certain extent but the avodah the holy work of today is about love reggae grabbing moments we have a few minutes now let's just grab them and take them to where we're where Hashem allows us to take to take them to so I want us all to become Hassidim of Aveeno for a few minutes because you know the world was created two weeks ago and pressure Boresha then less last Shabbos we learned about Noah but until you hear like the words of rum you know the Jewish soul is just like ha ha ha and then you finally hear of Rama vino and you're like you get air it's the twenty-first generation from the creation of the world so approximately a few thousand years after the world was created and you get this air of Rama vinum I want to be a father of a mafioso to be nice when the breslav tells us quite clearly how to become a follower of Avram of you know many people were you know if I'd asked the average person on the street today I'd say what does it mean to you to become a hostile of Ephraim of you know how do you become a follower of a movie know so many people would say open tent open walls you know like inviting people or spread monotheism and whatnot and all those things are true and correct and part of the formation of the character that we're introduced to this week the first Jew Avram Aveeno but I be not one says there's something inevitable that basically something is essential that can't be ignored in the characteristic traits of Ephraim Avena which enabled him to become a Verma vino and this teaching in the book Lakota Mehran which is rabbinic when a Bristow's magnum opus is right in between the first part of the book and the second part of the book where he quotes three words from Ezekiel Asad ayah Avraham Abraham who was one there was no one like Abraham how so so every Nachman said that Abram Avram Aveeno saw himself as the only person in the world that existed in God's eyes while he was guiding gotting meaning while he was on his trip on his God Church he didn't look at anybody else there was no one else that created any barrier he was so involved and in tune with that which he believed God has set up for him and only for him which enabled him to be become the person who he's the COO he became and you and I are sitting here today because of this exact work on himself this is an essential work we do on ourselves the kymaro says every person has to know B should be linear LM what was created for me in Slonim they say bish B Lima comes from the word Bastille shilly on my schpeel on my path the world is created I essentially all I really have is the path that I create that I look at and observe and see this was given to me but if I keep on wondering what is he gonna think how are they gonna receive it my path is not my path I don't even have a Sabeel I don't have anything if Carlebach explains that Ivan McQueen who loved the world enough to not care what they think about him that's a lost art because sometimes I have to push myself to the non loving the world I can't care what you think about me so if I love you I'll care too much with what you think about me there's got to be a way that you loved the world enough to not care what they think about what's important to you you hear the difference between the two yes this is what I've ever be nothing to sing I've my veena when he served God or when he was discovering God he is his tradition is so everlasting because of not because he didn't love the world and he didn't care he loved the world enough to understand that true love means that I love you enough to stick to what I really believe knowing that I love you too I'm from avinu when discovering monotheism or I don't want to get too much involved in the deficit right now because it's not exactly as clear as discovering monotheism there were others that that believe in one God but the manner in which I from Avene who brought the consciousness of one God into the world can you imagine if he thought too much about well how are they gonna take what I have to say her I don't want to hurt his feelings make him feel bad can you imagine if that was his thought process while being himself but there's a part of that that needs to be you know that we really really need to return on a religious level on a national level on a global level on a social level on an economic all levels need to have Abraham how would you say Abraham Abraham Abraham Abraham Erick revolution not a revolution a restoration well that's what a revolution is to revolve both over that you think building revolution is it's not as it's hadisha I mean okay Canada so when we're been asking was saying this about a ravine oh it became so clear to me that he was really talking about himself as well and he was talking about anyone that wants to make the change in the world anyone that wants to make a change in the world anyone that wants to be rewrote themselves has got to somehow align himself with the manner in which Abraham became Avraham it's very interesting the Torah doesn't tell us loud but I from a veena till he's 75 years old what do we know about him 75 years old and God is saying okay it's you follow me I'll appear to you where I appear till things will be good and everyone's always wondering you know the following question what happened to those 75 like why aren't those 75 years mentioned so now I'm thinking that it could be that maybe it took off from 75 years to break through that as well he's not born with this art of not caring sometimes you have to work a long time to reach that place maybe maybe I don't know just throwing it out there maybe only at the ripe age of 75 was a Vivino on this in this head space in this heart space of loving people enough to not care what they think about him in order to be the best version of themselves that they could be and I think there are people that cannot care but two simultaneous really care about the people and not care what they think about you striking that balance is a lifetime definitely yeah and that's what you were saying I remember on our last show together about our yeah that he was not a slave to political correctness but he was also not there to you know anger people are upset people are shake people up just being Ahmet what you see behind the scenes with him was that it was from a place that's right that was not the point listen this what we're bringing up right now is a very big thing this is not a it's not a simple thing I'm so sorry that the show has to be very short today unfortunately there's a little boy in our community that out that needs a big healing our own mayor Ben yellow Miriam I'm going to the hospital and not a play from so I have to run but what I do want to invite everyone you know III really I'm gonna sound like a Jewish a Polish guilt building Jewish mother I don't ask for much but it would be incredible if we could get your help on this if you could submit whoever is listening to take a minute literally a minute and submit a little prayer that you would compose asking God for guidance about this exact matter I think it would do wonders in the world I know it would do wonders for me but if you could take a minute and put together your thoughts while connecting to your heart and ask God asking them for guidance esta how to truly stay loyal to what you believe in while making it clear to everyone that you love them would be it absolutely revolution really hard because of the world we live in with tribalism yet virtue signaling and teams it's rare to be able to really liberate yourself own identification with certain groups I don't think my own I just want to calm you down and I did not expect perfection from you yet my friends so but I think that that's exactly the point that what you raised as part of the prayer since this is such a difficult thing master of the world it also is the way back to becoming our natural authentic traditional Jews Abrahamic Jews and know how to love and then know how to care while not really caring which is a big thing but this is partial f loss so this is how we're introduced to our movie no sometimes you have to come back five and cry reincarnations in order to get this one right let's try to nail it down this time so for now the land of israel dot-com Network this is Shalom oh cats with my Aria brown woods sending a load of love and hopefully we'll be together next week again [Music] who are we as a people who are we as a nation what does it mean to be a Jew in the land of Israel as a Jew in Judea what is our message to the world we're finally back in our land and we get to ask these questions misrata Shem we're gonna
