To be Chosen of G-d and Reign Supreme with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] welcome everybody welcome back to the yemen i'm bate midrash welcome home to torah a warm a very warm welcome to those i guess we call it the skype group right this the the peanut gallery but they're all kashuf people very important people and the people here in the bait midrash bar hashem i also want to mention we're approaching rosh hashanah so i don't know when you're watching this on the but those who are have joined us welcome and yeah rosh hashanah is coming up we are we have a campaign i just want to just one minute before we start please hey just bear with me we're doing a campaign broke hashem we're giving out a lot of money to people who really really need it and down below in the description box on youtube you will find a link that you can make a contribution participate in the big mitzvah of tsudaka as we all know that fila right that and repentance and prayer as well as this is the holy trinity in judaism right chuva te fila and sadaka can what many different words are used malvirin removes and knows tears up destroys an evil decree in bizrat hashem we have such hopes and aspirations for this coming year so let's uh let's plug in for those three i'll just call it again i just like the way it sounds the holy trinity and judaism yeah it just sounds so nice right okay so we're in chapter 28 of deuteronomy and these are two verses now if you're not familiar with this verb these two verses you should be right one of the things i also want to mention is we try to teach or let's say we learn torah we learn hebrew besides torah right hebrew so i implore you on the in the description box below there's also a link to the website where we have the original hebrew source sheets so if you're if you're following it with us now put your finger on the place you have to put your finger on the place it's not a big source when it's a it's a tiny paragraph but it's chock full of very important ideas and we're going to start with verse two even though we're going to go back to verse one the clea car by the way that's the uh the perush that's the commentary we're using for this discussion he begins with verse two and i'll go back to verse one in a second and all these blessings will come upon you and cleave to you i don't really like that word if this is a translation if you obey the lord your god we'll leave it as cleave but you'll see in hebrew we're going to see the word means it's coming to you what does it mean it's coming to you these these these blessings this goodness is chasing after you it's coming to you all of these blessings now that's the word that we translated here as cleaving to you it really it's not a bad translation i would say they overtake you they overcome you they reach you but let's say they overtake you because remember they're coming to you they're actually chasing you can you imagine living a life where the broncos are chasing you and and you're you're proceeding forward and they're they're coming after you and they're reaching you kitish but one second there is a caveat there's a condition and that is that you listen to the voice of hashem your god okay that's the first verse we're going to deal with and let's go into the cleo car itself he says now we didn't even see that word yet somehow or another this concept that we will be the jewish people those people who listen even non-jews to a certain extent if they cling to the jewish people whether they're full converts or they are righteous no heights there's some level that will filter down to them as we'll see later on bieni and hayotam el yona called that the jewish people will be considered i'm going to use the word that is mostly like translated as elion supreme now what it really means is over and above el yon okay way above let's use the word supreme on all the nations of the world now don't kill the messenger i'm reading the torah like everyone else is reading it okay this is what it says and then he brings us back to verse one because verse one that means chapter 28 verse 1 it will be if you obey the lord your god to observe to fulfill all his commandments which i command you this day the lord your god will place you supreme above all the nations of the earth word for word right the last part is hashem will place you he's going to place you now what the clear car will do is i guess compare in verse 2 it's coming after you in verse 1 it's dependent on hashem hashem is the one is the actor in verse two it's the block itself that's acting i hope that's clear okay so as the cleo car now describes what we just read back in verse 1 where god says i am going to make you el yon that is hashem hashem is doing um but then as verse 2 says kolha brachas are going to come upon you so the word is somehow another the the brachas themselves are coming on their own on their own maybe hashem is the one who initiated it and as a result of being el young all those other brothers are going to chase after you keeping that in mind i believe what he now asks is what we call a rhetorical question it has to be how else you're going to read it um who's chasing after them or who's chasing after whom if the word being used is they overtake you they reach you the broncos are chasing after you it has to be like that and now he's going to explain why i'm sure everybody wants the brothers to chase after them i don't think anybody would say no right we want good things who doesn't want good things so listen to what he says and this is going to be a very important part of our discussion anyone who's chasing after now i'm going to translate as authority but it could mean greatness let's just use authority and everything that comes with it that authority or greatness is actually going to run away from you it's going to flee you're trying to trick to chase i don't know let's say you know fame covet and honor i don't know exactly what rahra is other than authority but again everything that comes with it it's going to run away from you it's repelled but someone who runs away from again authority and everything that comes with it whether it's honor and fame and maybe wealth see has it so if you're running away from it it will chase you now he's going to tell us right now these next four words which is hard to understand but we're going to try he says that the actual authority itself is the source for all the blessings now i want to translate to a certain extent the word authority as responsibility i would like to i'm not sure if you'll buy by that but with authority should come response i was told as a kid i had a very loving father who told me son i understand you want privileges you would love privilege who doesn't want privileges but son along with privileges comes responsibilities it just goes hand in hand it was a wake-up call you know as a young child to hear such a thing but it stuck with me so hasra whatever is royalty being supreme being on top being in authority that's the source of all the blessings and we all know and i don't have to tell you i go through isaiah from chapters in the late you know 40s all the way 42 let's say until 50 israel is called my servant yaakov my servant a servant it's not just lower than the master it's someone who has responsibilities shay root right is service right we are of service and therefore we serve in fact even the word if you think about it we call minister asar like you know what i mean you take the i'm not a linguistic one of those guys that go into the hebrew etymologies what it sounds like there's a there's a interesting uh coincidence right is that's how we say it now listen to what this he says like this now there's a there is a midgestand let's stop here a second let's discuss it i have it on the english source sheets number three it's very long i already cut out a lot i only want to talk about what i underlined okay and so that means you have to go to the very bottom of page one am i right did i skip something did i not do something right i think we have to start in the beginning i don't know why i didn't underline it okay start in the beginning the lord called to moses vikra right leviticus 1 1 interestingly what does it mean vayikra we would translate that as called but it also means to greet it also means to come forward hashem went towards moshe in other words in the discussion someone opened the discussion someone which is god approached the yikra it's it's concept of approaching okay so so god is approaching moshe what do we know about moshe he is or it says he wrote it but he says in the torah that he is the most enough the most humblest humblest person whoever you know what i mean like in the world whoever was and ever will be now look at proverbs 29 23. by the way if you want to look at it number four a man's haughtiness will humble him in other words the what do they say the bigger you are the harder you fall you ever heard that expression sometimes believe it or not we have a lot of have to have to have a lot of faith when we see roshaim when we see evil people prosper we have to know there's bone right there's going to be an accounting right god this world is not heathcare it's not um pointless and aimless there's a judge and there's a judgment and sometimes he's building the person up only to create a greater fall and if those who are paying attention in the united states politics maybe even here any anywhere just be aware of that never give up faith and hope but god has a a tremendous amount of patience so again the bigger you are the harder you fall keep that in mind anyway what does it say here in proverbs 29 23 a man's haughtiness will humble him but one of humble's spirit will grasp honor i hope you understand what we're talking about right the bigger you are the guy the the guy the the hardiness of a man causes him to actually stumble or be humbled brought down low whereas the shethel ruach is a humble of spirit i mean just think about king david well that's where and and what is king david other than you know the soul of the meshiach to a certain you know and the seed of mashiach comes to him and we're going to talk about all the exile arcs all of the princes all of the leaders all of what we call authority through the jewish people come through king david right at the even in the exile right we're going to talk about yehuda hanasi and yehuda nasi was from hillel hill came from king david from yehuda and he we're going to talk about the whole difference between bake shammai and base hill beige shamai and base hilla why do we possibly like beisham by like who by base hill instead of big shaman we're going to talk about that interestingly enough it comes up in our discussion tonight but we're still in the middle in the middle we're in the beginning of this midterm iii where if we brought down the idea of one's pride will bring him low but the low in spirit will obtain honor whenever anyone pursues a position of authority authority flees from him but whenever anyone flees from a position of authority authority will pursue him now we're going to skip the rest at this point about saul and i want to go down to the bottom of this page moses also fled from authority when the holy blessed be said and we know god asked moses to free my people and what does moses say i take someone else take someone else i can't speak i'm not charismatic and you know what for seven days hashem spent with him on mount moriah and mount moriah it's a mount khorev and it has by the way there's seven names to sinai and moriah is one of them i didn't and it was not a frauding slip at all but moses asked in exodus 14 13 please please take someone else as your agent okay i am a slow of speech and slow of tongue all these verses are to teach you that he fled from authority in the end he led them forth imagine that who who we call moses our teacher moshe rabeno i mean he has a title i mean he's more than just moshe he's moshe raveno he was the instrument right the instrument in dividing the sea he brought us into the desert he brought down the mana right he brought up the water for us right um and so forth and so on if you turn the page number two uh moses fled from authority and it pursued him in the fulfillment of what it says in the verse we just mentioned proverbs 29 there's also a verse in psalms 8 6. this is talking about i'm pretty sure it's talking about king david as well 8 6 do i have it here on the sheet yeah oh let's talk about moshe okay look what it says yet you have made him slightly less than the angels and you've crowned him with the glory and majesty who is this pussic talking about rashi says when it says you made him slightly less than the angels which is it right um no it's number seven on the sheet uh the english sheep and it's psalms eight six i hope i got it right so me elohim right your um elohim elohim could mean judges it can mean angels it can mean god himself [Music] so the word elohim rashi says is an expression of angels for you gave power to joshua to still still the sun and to dry up the jordan and to moses to split the waters of the sea of reeds and to ascend to the heavens and to elijah to resurrect the dead so we're not talking about only motion we're talking about people like moshe we're talking about good jews really good fine you deem okay let's go back into the clear car we basically talked about this majestan mentioning that the sarah itself is the makur is somehow the source for all the blessings so if you're running away from it it's going to chase you it's you have to think metaphysically like magnets like you're i don't even know how to explain it but kima shikana avid konorabo now we're going to talk about this in a certain sense whatever the slave let's say the servant the one who's employed whatever he acquires the master acquires so let's say for example we don't have slavery today right but let's imagine and you have to know what slavery even is and i have a little um a few interesting paragraphs at the end in the english describing it it's an unfortunate situation okay we're talking about for a jew a jew who's a slave because he either was a thief and he didn't have any money to pay back or he didn't have the original thing he stalled to return and he'll become um we don't have jails which is a good thing so it's basically rehabilitation the person is not fit for society maybe he's a kleptomania whatever it is he stole something and he no longer has any money to pay it back and there has to be restitution so he's basically sold by the bait then okay so the the money it's like win-win the money will go to the person who was uh um affected by the thievery the the the person buying him or let's say it's a it's a lease is basically has to treat him with such respect there's so many laws of what a jewish slave how he's kept okay that he can the own the jewish owner cannot do with him anything he wouldn't himself do he can't give him degrading uh work okay if he only has one pillow he has to give it to the the slave he's to feed him when he's feeding himself there's so many laws not getting into it now um or someone is just so like a miscanned so poor and has no way to take care of himself he will also sell himself but it's a win-win for everybody okay let's put that aside when it comes to a non-jewish slave believe it or not a jew cannot basically go ahead and make a non-jewish slave that's a big misunderstanding you can take someone from the market who's already being sold who's already a slave and you can take him and again there's you're elevating him first of all for many reasons because he's like semi-jewish speak circumcised and you have to treat him with respect as well not on the same levels that you were slave but if you would hit him for example and would wound him in one of different ways he's free you just invested what twenty thousand a hundred thousand dollars who knows how much it cost you lost your money so you better treat that person with a lot of respect the point is this that if you had a slave and he was walking down the street and he found the gold watch in a case where he didn't have to return it did he acquire it no he you acquired it because he's an extension of you it's like your property keeping this in mind whatever acquire is acquired by the slave actually the owner the the master acquires now keeping that in mind he says now we have an understanding when it says when god says i'm going to place you as supreme hashem himself god your god will place you supreme above all the nations to a certain extent there's this relationship we are god's i'm going to use the you know what these are right as if right slaves we are god's servant on the other hand and this may sound very controversial that's what's happening with the rest of the world they're here ultimately to serve god but through the jewish people in other words they're gonna what does it mean to serve us to assist us and to help us with our mission back to the seven no laws i speak about this a lot the rambam says there's a difference between the different types of one is called haside and the other type is called believe in the jewish mission they believe that the torah is given to the jews in mount sinai that it's a unique gift to them and they buy into the whole mission and they support the jewish people in that mission as non-jews and they go to heaven because they believe in god and they believe in heaven they believe in the torah and then there's who came to the the realization of these seven laws out of logic just pure logic makes sense but they don't believe necessarily in god and they may not buy into the jewish mission here but the main point is they don't believe in in the in the torah being from god and therefore everything else falls by the wayside just as well they have a nice life in this world they will be blessed they will get a reward for doing the right thing and behaving but they will not see heaven there is no eternality there is no ulam i mean it's just a sad thing so they might as well learn some torah and try to figure out if it's really true or not and then you know what i mean you might as well your whole life in the world to come depends on it anyway keeping that in mind god will place you over them they on a certain level also and whatever they acquire on a certain level we acquire whatever we acquire ultimately is hashems but let's go on he says kizer this type of authority is not something that is so fitting for you even we're talking to the jews to seek out and to try to grasp we're talking about honor we're talking about wealth whatever it is obviously responsibility is something you have to take me come nevertheless god is the one giving it to you you are running away from authority in the sense of like i said honor and wealth nevertheless god is coming after you he's chasing he's giving it to you um and from that moment onward has so from that point onward that authority will be chasing you it will be chasing after you and if you want to use the original word cleaving to you overtaking you overcoming you now as a result of that agav has a result the authority itself is coming to you on its own remember we saw the difference between verse one and verse two it's coming on its own it's bringing along with it all those brachot all the goodness meaning as a consequence the authority will be chasing after you what happens as a result all of those blessings are chasing after you without you chasing them there's no need you're going to be overwhelmed with all those brachos hashem agave they're going to cleave to you or they're going to overcome you by way of this authority and now he ends with i told you it's going to be very short so he says basically you're acquiring this authority um you're acquiring all the brachas by way of the authority shall call goyaris that you are going to have over all the nations of the earth and he ends up with that statement i said before kima shikana edward conorabo now it's on that other level because what the servant that lower sphere whatever they have you acquire now that's a pretty big trip to tell these jewish people you know but the question is let's talk about another a new because that is what moses in capsule encaptured he was able to perfect it so i want to take you on a little journey to um you don't have it in front of you but it's in gemara a reuven and it's on page bet if you want to pick it up on safaria please do um so it's right before the new mishna begins but it wants to tell us that there were three years that bashan mind-based hillel argued they were in a dispute for three years these there were those that followed hillel there were those that followed shammai and then a boss call came out a uh what's a boss called by the way it's very interesting a bosco is a voice from heaven that's how we translate it it's not a physical voice that you hear it's a voice that one hears inside their head it's a type of prophecy what happens is this right you would all think after reading all the different stories about the boss call that everyone just heard a voice coming out of heaven no everybody who heard that voice not everyone heard it but those that did could all say i came to the conclusion this is the truth because i heard it from heaven it wasn't an objective voice that anybody else could hear it was only something you could hear and therefore you came to the conclusion based on having conversation i heard it you heard it you heard it that's called a bosco we all heard the same thing but it wasn't a objective out external voice i just want to read a comment here about what a bosco is bas kohi madriga kodesh it is a level no you don't have it on there uh it is a level of kodesh the next level above that is called what we had the on the breastplate of the coin guttal it lit up it basically didn't speak but it lit up and told over uh answers hasselhoff like a lahav deal like a ouija board right but it um it had letters and it had yes and no it was able to trans um transmit a message through uh through the lights wherein futurmim that's a level of prophecy lamala mayhem dargah to nuvua then we had what we call prophecy now all of these have the general label of prophecy but obviously navua that's what we call prophecy and the other is rural kokodish means the holy spirit is a lower level of prophecy it's not prophecy itself i know i'm probably confusing everybody hang in there there's a general term we call prophecy and then there's specifically levels and one of them is called prophecy and we know what that is and then he says the gam akasha at the time that we no longer had prophecy we still had ruach kodesh basko is basically rukha kurish and we we call the basque home we all receive the same level of kurdish so the government continues and it says this famous expression which really we would require a whole shear in itself says that this side who holds this argument and that side that holds that argument they're both true they're both the words of the living god however the the gomorrah here says halachika base hello the boss kohl said the law goes like base hillow the question is why now hillel has the authority by the way right they weren't chasing it in fact hillel followed big shot by one of the reasons that we possibly like base shammai ah nobody's correcting me the reason we passed lake base hill and not like beishan mai is the gore is going to tell us why right so listen to this after the fact that we say they're both true names what exactly is the reason why the vipassana like hillel the first reason given youth right they were what is that what does noisy mean they were kind they were peaceful they were pleasant they were pleasant people to be around and a losing eluting means enough they were another haiyu that's who they were the shoni the second reason is shonin the freehand device am i basically means code them right they always taught over the opinion of the other guy how could you do that if you didn't understand it so they went out of their way to learn everything the other guy in this case beijing had to say they didn't they didn't know vazel they didn't miss alzail the words of their opponents but they they try to understand it and give over counter arguments with respect below not only that elisha mcdee means they always gave over the other side first meaning first of all every mishnah who wrote the mishnahs he will i'm sorry rebbie rebbie who's from base hillel so you always see shamai comes before hillel i think in every case except one there's a reason why okay so you always see big shamai says and then hillel says even he kept that tradition okay i don't really know i want to skip a little bit down to the other place so i'm skipping a little bit in the gamora but it says like this why do we again why are we pascaning uh setting the halakha like base hillel anyone who what is mashpeel brings himself down i don't know what that means but basically no has a certain amount of humility especially towards hashem which who is hashem his stamp is truth god stamp is truth and that so you're you're fighting for truth use some humility here kris barco so if you lower yourself hashem will raise you up the cold hammach but anybody on the other way is trying to raise themselves up with gaiver towards hashem god will bring that person down okay he goes on i'm not sure we'll talk he goes like this the more continues if you reach right if you're trying to reach greatness the greatness itself that's why i said what is what does it mean it must mean kavod you're looking for honor you're looking for wealth looking for authority everyone has to listen to me i'm the boss you don't do what i say get out of my store i mean chicola max but if you run away from this thing called gdula which is greatness then the greatness is going to chase after you okay there's a few other very interesting pieces i just want to skip that for now i want to just talk about some of the comments the gemara mentions and there's really a lot here and i know that i think i bore everybody but i want to mention um what does it mean a little of the eluding i use this example with my students i take a bottle let's say it's coca-cola or if you like something better nesty iced tea whatever it is now of course there's 360 degrees right but you and me you and i are going to discuss what we're going to come to an absolute truth what does this bottle look like and i will describe it but you realize i can't see from your side the label goes around it's not exactly the same on both sides so i'll describe it which i think is true you'll describe it and you're for sure that's true now what i could do is try to understand your side because then i'll get a better picture of what it really is and if you do the same with me you'll get a better picture of what it is so there's a certain amount of trust integrity that you have and i have the a-level of you very looking high only together two heads are better than one as it says in in proverbs right that we'll be able to actually get a better picture of the true reality and objective reality in fact i sent a cartoon to a friend of mine this week there was somebody standing over number six and there was somebody else standing on the other side and they were arguing one was saying for sure it's a six the other one's saying for sure it's a nine and there was you know a conflict there but if you try to understand there is another perspective and i want to try to understand it you may actually learn something what do we say who is a wise person someone who learns from everyone i mean that's true humility because it means i have something i can learn from you it says every man who's why someone learns from every man right you're not the same color as me you're not the same status in society as me you didn't go the same school as me right i went to harvard and you went to who knows what whatever right i went to mit and you only went to harvard or yale but whatever right i don't know how all these different conflicts right some you can even learn how you know the opposite in other words you can reach between the lines too someone who's you know scoundrel you know listen to you know learn from them what not to do you know you can learn from everybody and that's true humility albert einstein was asked by a certain student so the student i don't know exactly how it worked it was a story i heard but let's just say he was taking another course and by albert einstein so you already took the course before he already i'm going to say aced the test but he already took the test and he says to his professor albert einstein you gave out the same test as you gave last year so what did albert einstein say to him this is pretty humbling for albert einstein he said yes you're right it's the same test as last year but the answers are different how do you get to that point where you can say that think about a basting the basting goes by whatever is greater in hakma or or or mispar let me just go through it so what does that mean hakama or ms bar how do you determine that so basically mispar means age you're going to go like a bastion that's all 70 year olds or based in what's all 30 year olds so you're going to say we'll go with the one in miss parr miss bar of age what about hakma remember the basic difference between bass hillel and beishamai is basically comes down to this argument misspar means number now number can mean age but it can also mean rove and it usually does and that's how we passkin they had a majority that's how we possibly can right it says in the torah do not follow the majority for evil and we know that means yes follow the majority to do good so you follow the based in to do whatever they say so when it says misbar there's one interpretation it means age but that's too similar to wisdom we all we we do assume it's not always true the older you are the wiser you are so there is an opinion now beisham was harif they were so exacting harifut is not necessarily the right way to go hillel was as we said already they were noah they were humble but what brought them i mean it had to do with a personality had to do with his relationships with his students as well not saying he was mr popular but he got more students in the end and that's why so in other words when it says miss sparr it's going according to the amount of students you have he was the party i don't know the numbers just imagine you have one school with a million students in another school with 15 or 20. so anyway you you that's how you get i'm sorry to say we're passing this is true based on majority so doesn't it pay to work on your character besides the fact that anyway the bill negone says the whole purpose of life is tikkun amidos is to work on your middles you know our souls could be old souls we're here because we didn't finish we didn't complete something perhaps in an earlier life or maybe earlier part of our own lives and god's giving us opportunities to to to complete and perfect ourselves i just want so much to tell and i just want to go to one one other idea um brings down what exactly is the relationship this idea of a myla tana lipsa how can you say that if you're humble you got the truth [Music] how can we say that you know this if you're humble you're going to have the truth so the base yosef explains he says like this it's not such a big it's not you shouldn't have such a problem figuring this out now i have to try to understand what these words are saying because humility itself is such a good media it will overturn anything negative it has the power to overturn negativity could just mean to overturn even the truth i don't know elisha but he goes on he says because of this humility that you will end up in the direction of truth you will end up with a true outcome try to imagine a personality that is just so pleasant and so humble nobody would ever try to argue with you and that's what it says lo mit are nobody would come to mix in and to argue from an aspect of a conflict to stand by their words they would acquiesce i always say this to fight evil or to fight hate you can do with love now obviously we don't turn the other cheek right we don't turn the other cheek got that we don't turn the other cheek but how do you fight an evil eye when people have jealousy when you know be humble exude love it's not easy it's a big test and i don't pass it all the time trust me but when there's an evil eye when there's jealousy when there's whatever it is just smile [Music] try to show some some love and i don't mean turn the other cheek please don't get me wrong we're not gonna lie down right there's a time to fight there's a time to take up arms ella cole de vray and amit lagamre but what happens is their words are absolute truth that's why the is going to end up like them now there's an interesting footnote on that ayan laholan the mahara comments on the rest of the gemara regarding the indian showing him the rayham divre bay shamai remember we said that hillel would always try to learn the other side first they would always put the other side first i mentioned to somebody otherwise today yesterday it's not easy you know that you're right but you know what you say to the other person i really want to understand what you're saying and try to repeat back then because if you can't repeat it back to them then you don't understand what they're saying and you know what sometimes they're just saying such foolish things and there's no point in trying to fill your head with this i get it and that's where you have to make some borders but if the person has integrity and they're a thinking person why not you engage them try to understand because they may not be an argument ma rosh shiva revenge weinberg always said most arguments most i i would say almost all is usually just the definitions you don't have the definitions once you try to define like this person is saying something and you think he's saying something else you haven't defined it but once you define you realize oh we actually agree most cases once you define the words that you're trying to you think you're arguing about you find that you're not arguing at all anyway so he says like this he's holding this is the very reason that the humble person reaches the true verdict because he's always concerned for himself that maybe what shema and me you want to get to the truth then you have to dig into the other person's brain it'll only confirm if you're right it'll confirm everything you you know is true but until you get to that point you have to be concerned maybe you're wrong maybe you're wrong i'll just read again check out well the opinion that's arguing with you the other side until you reach the ultimate truth anyway we'll we'll
