The Soul of Israel: The 42 Stop Journey

[Music] you know Shalom everyone ashlynn you're listening to the soul of Israel on the Land of Israel I'm on the land of his realm Network never get tired of saying that I love it because it's a laugh come on for thousands of years Jews dreamt that they could say the words the Land of Israel I don't know about calm but definitely some kind of a network network yeah it's true so that's big it's big and you feel it mostly during the three weeks they were in right now good morning rabbi aria Bronwyn morning how are you feeling my friend thank God I'm feeling great how's your internet work happening you know the truth is I'm a little bit tired I haven't been getting enough sleep but just for all good reasons well you're getting married soon yes I'm a bi-racial I'm when you're busy fulfilling prophecies you may not get that much love yeah and we're all fulfilling prophecies here in the Land of Israel every single day anyway we're we're in the midst we're in the heart of the three weeks right now the heart of the time of year where we kind of admit to ourselves that as great as things are on a certain level we have nothing without the Beit HaMikdash without the Holy Temple and without living with machines and with cyanic times and I'm a total list I've always been a total list that means meaning it's hard for me to really my my avodah personally in life has always been to be okay with the fact that things aren't perfect that I'm not perfect that's very hard for me and I never feel like there's an outlet to kind of like you know express that emotion and during the three weeks I actually feel very much at home in a weird way because as happy as I am that we're back in Israel we are rebuilding the land I'm a Cohen I need to you know I need to be in a certain place that doesn't even exist right now in the world and that is the Holy Temple so it's an opportunity for us I feel it's an invitation for you to mourn the lack of perfection correct correct during the year I have to like push myself to be like no holiness at you you know to really be holy means say thank you for a little bit you have and and and just move forward and tomorrow will be better that's true but you know am i making any absolutely artful sense yes anyway so I I I want to give this the segment I want to do today I just wanna I wanted to give her a brothel through a teaching that we learned you know in in Hebrew there's a concept that's called Massa nasiha no tilling soil and shoe usually Massa Mossad literally means like a journey a pilgrimage Lillet that means to walk and lean saw doesn't just mean to drive it means to move from place to place now I was saying this open your hearts dearest dearest friends wherever you are the last we're bidding farewell this job is this portion these double portion my total say we're bidding farewell to the book of the made by the fourth book and the fourth book of Bamidbar what a what a safer it is I I won't say it's my favorite because I don't think you should have a favorite safer the five books of Moses each word to be favored to you but something strikes you deep about hearing about a lot of great people that do you know that fall into into into low places like we've seen portion after portion so we're bidding farewell to a safer but made the bar and how do we bid farewell it's the last the last part shop by Midway is called Ament Messiah Ben Israel these are the journeys and the Torah lists forty-two journeys forty-two places that we can be encamped and continued on while we're in the desert so we got to the Holy Land it's also the 42nd portion of the Torah which is very interesting and further the tsadikim say that if you had a really clear heart sight or I say it's so sight you'd be able to understand your whole life by learning perisheth must a because each soul in this world has to go through 42 different pilgrimages 42 different journeys whatever that means right I don't know what that means but like I'm not operating from a place of clear eyesight so our soul sites whatever you want to call it but the the you know our Hazael are our righteous rabbi's explained to us if we were we would see that everything you and I have to go through in this world isn't this by shot if we were to write an autobiography it should have 42 chapters it would have meaning if there was an event authentically fully aligned autobiography based on I know with our soul there would be 42 chapters correct but the difference is between walking and journeying a journey means richlum acaba explains I've actually moved from place to place sometimes wonder the assumption that I've journeyed really I just took a walk but to move from place to place connotes growth that I've actually truly ascended from one place to another place now let it is important you have to keep on walking keep on being active but there are times in life you have to say as active as I may be here it's time to move on and that's what these journeys that motor brain was bidding us farewell with and by mid bar he's telling us he's showing us remember what you were like over there remember how you were able to move on the power of moving on moving towards something you have that it's within you because basically the whole book of devar him takes place over a span of a few days it's the end of moshe rabbeinu his life he knows he's leaving them they know he's leaving them as well what is he leaving with them with he's live leaving them with the self-confidence and the inner notion of understanding I have journeyed before I can journey again meaning I've had to move on in life before I can move on in life again and I think this is a powerful powerful lesson quite often when I'm stuck between a baby you know before a trial and a tribulation in my life I can hear all the aces all the good advices from very holy people and that really won't give me enough COAS enough strength to get through something but sometimes but all I have to do is remember I've been through trials and tests before I thought it was the end of the world and Here I am today meaning I become my own Rebbe I become my own teacher I become my own aids a giver that's the most empowering experience a person could have in this world that did that the source of inspiration guidance and strength is coming solely from within and my NGO tell me so that's that's gold so maybe this is really what it means that I was thinking about this last night in this year I am I'm working on this teaching time if you like it it says vision anthem the Vanessa vid about a bomb that when you give over Torah to your children but the bharta bomb you should speak to them but bomb is also the word bomb is 42 bet and mem we debarked about the 42 journeys meaning how do you really give over the Torah to your children when you tell them about your own trials and tribulations the 42 journeys and you should tell them about you know what gave me the cost to move on at that point in life when I remember that I was able to do it before so two children am I telling you you have the coop to journey in life to move to grow to jump leaps and bounds but the way you'll be able to do it fully and most strongest is if you remember that you have it within you this is the chain of mass aura of tradition of heritage of channel of education which we receive from Moshe Rabbeinu at the end of our passion because essentially what we need more than anything is to find the strength within this is the Kazakh Zachman in Kazakh this is how Moshe Rabbeinu prepares us to continue life in Eretz Israel a life where you got to keep on journeying here you got to keep on moving leaps and down listen everyone thinks the goals I made alia that's when things start keep making keep making yeah keep realizing that just like you were able to leave everything that's it huh that was only in order so that you could do the equivalent of that here in the Holy Land constantly not leaving physical space but in a spiritual place to journey from place to place that that's our whole day here in Arizona and we're stuck right now I believe in the last journey that we need the last journey is towards building the Holy Temple that journey the ultimate the ultimate journey we have it within us every year when the three weeks come I always have this dream of interviewing every single rabbi I know and asking them any type of spiritual leader in Judaism and asking them why aren't we building the base I'm exaggerating now and every year I don't do it either out of laziness or because I don't want to make people feel uncomfortable or because I'm wondering why I don't start you know what am i doing it what would you answer what would I answer what would I answer me if I asked me how can we how can we not churning me ya know what I answer you thank you for putting me on the spot in front of our 25,000 viewer listeners right now what would I answer you know I probably do exactly what I'm doing right now is looking really going inside my heart and I would say I need Hashem to tell me that that's the right decision and he got to tell me that that's exactly what we're supposed to be doing right now I would need less concealment and I would pray that the second that it's more revealed to me I would go for it okay let me ask you so how come so what's what's stopping at welcome you're not finishing off the last journey I would have to just say I don't feel ready I don't feel like I it seems to me like it would still be just there would still be elements of it that are just a building you know that the it's not within me yet I haven't connected all the dots I haven't merged you know my head and my heart are still have a large gap between them and I think that you know on a personal level that's what I feel like so how am I gonna build it there'd be too much hypocrisy in it if I were to try to build it now it's real I don't believe you but that's real meaning I'm not saying no but I think that if we just hold hands a little bit tighter we'll get to that last journey that last masa a lemma say a Benes room and then based at the Shamy the barracks the building won't just be a building it'll be a place for God's divine presence to dwell in and my local art school it'll fill the whole world with God's love Beauty aura but if I could just say you know the first seven years of Devon MLS Kingdom was in Judea right and then you wish a lime and that's what led to the bet I make - that's our built so it starts in Judea ends in Jerusalem so we are building it now it's just an early phase really that's right I don't mean that I know I don't think you do you wouldn't you would be right here in this kabura right this Fedora is the building of a bit of meekness look what we just learned this morning exactly about that for more of that friends tune into my soundcloud page Ashlyn okay I sound SoundCloud cow soundcloud.com / Ashlyn well cats for all of our audio classes we post daily Berkeley sham yeah this morning was a very very powerful one about who is one who's worthy of mourning over Jerusalem one was really who really understands what it means to be broken and not be complete anyway I feel much more complete whenever you and I are together always and I bless all of our listeners and our spa of the Land of
