last
week we started doing
the and the contrast between the two
sets the first and the
second and uh the point that's most
obvious that you see right
away is the
fact that when it comes to the first
three Dives which are about Amun there's
very very little difference between what
we call and the differ in the first set
and the second set is that the first set
is the m Jewish people were perfect they
hadn't sinned yet and the second set
after they did
Chua and in the later diis you have a
number of different distinctions some
small some big that separates the two
sets of
di but in the first three you have a
difference of One V that's it otherwise
they're exactly the
same right
or otherwise they're
identical so here's what's for us to
discuss why when it comes to are there
no differences
between and when it comes to shabas when
it comes to there are all kinds of
differences right but let's talk about
it let's talk about it we're going to
talk about the differ between and and
then you'll decide yourself it's so easy
to understand the
fact that um there's no difference
between them when it comes
to let's start with this question what
is the difference between and when it
comes to I'm going to give you the two
sides of the coin you tell me if you
agree or disagree
okay is
easier am is more struggles some it's
harder alternatively
aad is more
complicated is more
simple I just made two statements and if
you're listening they are at least to
some
degree opposites they're incompatible
they're they're different points of of
perspective I'll say it one more time
aad is simpler and
easier is a much greater
struggle aad is much more sophisticated
it's much
fancier and is much
simpler you hear the two
differences huh I'm going to repeat it
one more time but I'll say it in the
different form aadun is simpler and more
complex is more struggles some but more
simple you see what I'm saying or not
are closer to the or to say it in plain
English Clos to the not because of them
Hashem made some people that he's close
to them and any person that abish made
that he's close to him obviously they're
going to be close in turn but that
closeness is from Heaven the abish made
sikim closer to
him but the sadik's natural closeness to
the abish because of the's closen to
them has a
downside and the downside is that sikim
get
fancy know get fancy means they try to
understand you know what trying to
understand means they try to put
themselves into the picture of their
relationship with
hasem what's the classic mus and it's
going to come up in today's class a
little later again what's the classic
mtion
for
theim you ever heard of
theim yeah when you hear every
day what do they
say kades kades kades holy holy holy now
here's my question either one holy is
enough or three holies are not enough
why are they saying holy holy three
times say it again like holy holy Etc ET
so two is enough they
di I need to tell you something there
was a guy in 77 the years ago he was a
biker at one point they had to kick him
out actually but he would come at to 770
and Dav in English biker a
biker and he came into SCH every day and
some put fil on him he read from the
English City he had his whole s he was
one of his very simple man but was very
very sure of himself everything had to
be his way and when H got in 770 he
would answer I don't know how many how
many kous and say holy holy holy the
Lord of hosts fills Heaven and Earth or
something like that blessed be the glory
of the Lord from his place he would read
English but say lot holy holy holy KES
KES KES there was nothing in my life
more holy than that guy screaming holy
holy holy it was so so sincere so
beautiful why do you think a Mal a sort
of says holy holy holy three times
answer that question is because the Mal
in his
mind is three steps away from
the holy is three steps away from NE
holy holy
holy C keeping square at
home and to him being his
God he
was and the source
of and in his mind in his understanding
would say holy holy holy cuz abish is
three steps away from them now what's
the big
problem the abish is not on a step I
told you the story happened to me I told
to me or not I told you to M many years
ago at least 25 years
ago I had one
year where maybe not around 2 years ago
where I taught Casas here in Yesa
downstairs and they got to come at night
to give them classes
so I taught them in the morning and
taught them at
night so used to call me
his he gave them a test and he wanted me
to sit in on the test he
said remember thinking to myself like
exactly right me
and it's not exactly like but it's you
know what I'm saying and uh anyway it
was an opportunity I I had opportunity
to speak to him I asked him he told me
some very interesting things I had more
than one occasion but Shar things he
push it privately and
personally but I made a chart for the
that year of I don't know what and I
gave it to zi Baris is he here Mandy Le
M Le is
here Mandy Baris was a student zi Baris
the holy was my student and I asked him
to show this chart to and to get his M
on it I read a chart
say and on top of the chart I wrote God
and then God another whatever whole
business so zi showed it to and he he
didn't tell that I asked he just asked
him curiously what do you think about
this chart and Abel answered very
plainly God is not a
level he doesn't belong on a chart ASM
is not the highest point of a chart hasm
is not on the chart hasm is the whole
chart Middle top bottom inside outside
none of it all of it and that's it it
was a wonderful lesson for me the are so
smart they start to understand the a
the minute they're trying to understand
the is not the they understanding
understanding their personal their
source so they say holy holy holy three
times because they're so smart and they
seed between themselves and their source
which is B three levels but the god to
which they're relating is not God at all
it's
godliness they they don't have such
Fancy arrang with they just scream loud
and clear they don't understand what is
Wherever You Are
points out that
Simplicity
P it's closer to the truth than this's
fanciness you can make a similar
distinction
between sad have an easy time with gave
it to them but sadik also use their mind
and because they use their mind their
relationship with the abish is based on
their understanding
which means that they're not
understanding the they're understanding
the to the expect that their brain can
get it the B has a much harder time with
the because he
has it's he right he it's he struggles
but the god to whom he relates is the
god of the little child like it
says the mind of the child and the god
the little child that's the true
God so when you think about how
different thead is from the is it
becomes very very very powerful that the
Ten Commandments they get exactly the
same
instructions when you understand that
the
sadic has an easier time with relation
with abish but because it's fancy we're
not so sure what he's relating to and
Thea is a much harder time with his but
because it's simple he's relating
to it is truly extraordinary that the
aish gave one set of Commandments when
it comes to to the fancy easy time Tad
and to the struggles some simple B the
message is the same for both of
them both to the who thinks he
understands and to the know who doesn't
understand says the same
thing I'm we're going to talk about this
I gave you the sheet right so when we
get to the fourth Commandment or we get
to the second commandment and we get to
that one V where the difference is we'll
talk about the differences between the
two vers but right now we're going to go
through the first three Dias I did not
prepare all three I didn't have enough
time but I'll do whatever I can and talk
about how Hashem says the same words to
people who are so different in their
relationship with him so of course you
guys are all big Masters ofas you're all
experts and Scholars and Geniuses and
studious
ones so you all know the whole
discussion about andem
and what do and
is a word that's not
holy is a common word could mean I I
meaning and start was the word
I so explains and you've come across
this I'm sure that the names of Hashem
are descriptions the names of Hashem
describe when you want to talk to Hashem
that's above a description there's no
word for it so you use bar Ro words you
use made up words if you want to
describe em you do not use a holy name
of hasem because the holy names of hem
are similar to
thees their
definitions so the names of hem are
describing in as we call it when you
want to talk about like a child you just
say the
word to you like the used to always
discuss little children what do they
call
the the right if you go into 10
different communities in one Community
what is the word that they use for for
God what other community use for God is
go to third Community God isem go to
Fourth Community with God the creator of
the world and so on right what's the
word
in the one
above so the de says you know what your
aish it is the guy lives above you in
your apartment
is if you live on the first floor the
second floor the guy above you is he's
higher than you but you know that above
the there's
another and above
that the word simply means the one
above says that have a little children
when they
say they imagine the guy on the second
floor but that they imagine above the
guy on the second floor the guy on the
third floor and they develop in their
mind the idea that the iish that is
above all the above that's
all so iish doesn't tell you what Hashem
is it just tells you that he's
higher so the says use the term there
because it's actually the best way to
relate to hasem because you're not
saying what he is he's just saying
whatever I know he's
higher and
that's means I but is not a it's not a
shame it's not a holy name of hem it's a
name which anybody could use to mean
themselves it's a simple word it's appli
to because when hasem wants to talk to
us like we're little children he doesn't
say a holy name he
says and of course
explains the who's higher than a name
comes which
is which comes
on does anybody know the difference
between the
word and the
word does any the word and the word ofu
anybody
I mean the translation means god means
our God but in this they translated as
opposites elim means the god of
concealment El means the god of
personalization means is
hiding meansem who's made tailored for
me and that's that's higher than
name that
comes is my personal God he's your
personal God he's our personal God casus
makes a very very big deal out of the
wordu I take taxis granites but in
taxing cabs I take granites I get the
United Nations you know I get every
single country in the planet including
some Jews from Israel or actually from H
from Brooklyn also Drive cabs for Uber
when they have extra time and B extra
cash so I was driving up Troy Avenue
with a a African-American an African
Caribbean from the Caribbean islands
doesn't matter which
one so I mentioned God to him so he says
to me which God the god of the Jews I'll
never forget his reaction I said to him
there is only one
God and they got very excited say you
mean the god I worship is the same God
you worship of course you mean I worship
the god of the Jews I said of course
only one God one doesn't belong to us
belongs everybody he was like I took he
was so happy to hear that the God he wor
worship same God I worship it was like
him a biges he was delighted that a Jew
told him that he worshiped the same God
that that he that a Jew worships but
there's a difference
still go don't say our God they say God
Jewish people say our
godu I I've told this to you before in
my fantasy where Mia is going to come
and even before
hopefully not should be delayed but the
way things are right now
we're going to have to make a s
for now when go are going to D we're
going to have to write prayers for them
whether they say in Hebrew or not but
they're going to have to be Jewish
prayers I think the perfect prayer for
go to say
is think about it it's a prayer about
biology about
nature but when go refer to hasem
they'll never say
sh never say and even when they say
they're never going to say in my
imaginings the are going to have
probably the same as we have because
he's not make new holidays and maybe
like in the holiest day of the year when
we scream three
times will say today is
mine Jews personalize God we make God
our
own now raises that question who do we
think we are to personalize God and he
says said the god of Abraham but
deserved it
how come AB deserved that he gave his
life for that God he dedicated every
moment of his life to
disseminating Dedicated his life
to he has a right to
say but how come we have a right to
[Music]
say my God our
God and the answer is we don't have a
right we don't deserve it we inherited
it
and your personal God and I'm sure
you've heard the
famous that it's written in it's written
in
singular Sashi says this is an
excuse that if a Jew doesn't have told
you not to do what the Jew's going to
say excuse me you spoke to
only you said it in
singular who all the ten commands were
given he spoke only to I happened to be
witness to what happened but you weren't
talking to me you were talking to him
but of course says because it's
personalized speaks each two
individually I above a
name ain't safe is your personal
God it took you out of the land of M of
narrowness as translate M and there's a
very very important very very important
idea in by the
word is a geographical spot on the map
we know where it is it's Northeast
Africa right that's where m
is but m is an idea m is the idea of
narrowness
limitation
narrowness and hasem took us out of
narrowness and
limitation so what does say when you go
out of narrow limitation what
happens
anybody you have a new narrowness on a
higher level when you go out of that
high narrowness there's an even newer
narrow there's a higher level do you
ever finish when you go out of one
limitation so you're free from
yesterday's limitation but you have a
limitation today if you go out today's
limitation you're going to have a
limitation tomorrow if you out
tomorrow's limit it never finishes time
goes on the greatest person is stuck in
some way on some level that's the
meaning
of says I took you out of I don't just
mean the physical and geographical Egypt
it means the philosophical concept of
being stalk in any way shape or form and
this R say is why you say the very same
words to the bigest sad and the very
same words to the simple as
B Because
thead is that he thinks has God figured
out the
is that doesn't leave him
alone and it's the
same who takes the out of his and takes
the out of his that's why it says the
same
words they're very
different everybody's in a different
narrow space but everybody's got their
stuckness the tadic is stuck in the fact
that he thinks he understands and when
you think you understand the abish to
which you relate is the ab of your
understanding and not
higher the doesn't have those problems
has the basic problems
of that har is him and bothers him and
ra him a cup and confuses him and
distracts him and befuddles him and
bewilders him and makes him crazy and he
has to go out of
his that's another idea but the
words speaks to all of them
thead remove us from the B
remove us from and takes everybody out
no matter what level you're on so it's
the same words spoke in different kinds
of people in very different kinds of
ways thead is he thinks he's so great
and I don't mean this in a negative way
I mean this in the realistic way that he
thinks he's getting close to God you
understand they have to remind them
excuse me
sir your idea that you're close to God
is a and you have to go out of it have
to appreciate the idea that you're far
away
from but the words of the
say so
says and I can't believe this but says
it when Mia comes there will be no
more when Mia comes Hashem is going to
remove narrowness and limitation in the
kind of way that no person can have any
obstacles they blockages to growth it
doesn't mean we're all going to be
infinite it's going to mean however that
the the blockages the stuckness is that
we get into whether we're and our
stuckness because we're fancy or and our
stuckness because
they is going to give us the to go out
of any limit it's just up to
us and those are the first words the
first
commandment comes down level of to be
our personal God to take us out of our
personal Egypt and we talked about this
last week talk about it all the time
when a person is trapped in a ciper and
whatever the ciper is we talk talk
always about the 12 Steps but whatever
trap a person is in and a person
successfully leaves that entrapment
there's an incredible Joy I spoke about
it in say the class there's an
unbelievable Joy it's there's nothing
more satisfying and rejoicing that a
person who was trapped in a limitation
of Kip who exceeds it and that's the
meaning of the
word now what about the last words in
the
P for the house of
bondage
actually a very funny thing what is the
meaning
of says we were slaves
to and not a slave of slaves we were
slaves to the Pharaoh we were not slaves
of slaves for the house of
slavery whose slaves were we were the
slaves of a king and we know what says
in the gar that EV when you're a slave
of a king you like a
king but when you're a slave of a king
it's not the
it's a form of slavery when you're a
slave of a king and the king is the
abish is the maximum freedom and this is
a very very important idea to think
about and to consider in the in Human
Experience if you work for a boss of any
type you have to do what he
wants according to his rules to his
timetable and when you work for a boss
of any type part of your
job is not to threaten
him it's not to make the boss feel
uncomfortable that you're let's say
better than him or what he
does so if you work for a boss it's
inevitable that having a boss means
you're being inhibited by the fact that
there's somebody above you any person
who employ who's an employed knows
this having somebody for whom you work
doesn't only mean you have to do what he
wants it also means you can't be too
good at it cuz you don't want to
threaten
him so when you are working for any kind
of an employee it it holds you back
which is why some people get crazy
having bosses they can't deal with it
they can only work for themselves only
problem is they don't know how to work
for themselves because they're not
massed not organized right so they end
up without a job when they work for
somebody else they the both inhibits
them the only exception to that rule and
I'll give it to you in language you're
understand if your boss is
the has very strict
rules but the nature of his
bossism is that he gives you enormous
Freedom it doesn't hold you back
actually opens you up you work for him
but in working for him you become Freer
why because it's not about him at all
it's only about you he's not inh he's
not afraid that you're going to be more
successful than him it's not a concern
at
all and this is a mus and the it
say you want to be free work for God
when you work for hasem you are free
usually when you have a boss it inhibits
it
imprisons when your boss is the abish it
frees you because the ab's relationship
with us is such he makes many rules he
expect us to follow but in creating
those rules and in making us follow he's
creating a framework into which we can
be become the best person in the world
he gives us all the freedom to develop
all parts of ourselves that without his
boser we wouldn't be able to
achieve and that's what the word mean
from the house of you're King you're
slave to you went directly for the king
but if your king is not the abish the
king of all kings that slavery holds you
back as opposed to if you're a slave to
the abish then being a slave of the
abish is emancipating it's liberating
that's the
first takes out of all
limitation and hasem takes out of
limitation of working for a boss even if
that boss is a king Because unless your
boss is the king of all Kings your boss
hold you back and again we repeat the
part of this P which is so interesting
is that you
say that sad and the B have the exact
same words the S is being taken out of
his limitations of thinking he has able
should figure it out
that sad is being taken out of the idea
that he's serving Hashem in a way which
is connected
to which inhibits and he's serving the
the whole different Journey but the
words are the same the mess same hem
says I took you out of the idea of you
working for anybody else if I may use
these words I took you out of the idea
of working me for me through an
intermediary work directly for me and
then you working directly for me whether
you're the biggest sadic who has the
easiest time of it whose problem is that
you think you're close to God you the
biggest Bel the hardest time of it who
has no problem imagining that he's close
to God but he push it a hard time doing
the right thing Hashem has given both of
them Freedom using identical language go
ahead I need to know your
name now just imagine a story small
story I think she was a therapist
she how come in Judaism there this
aspect of fearing hem fear creates
emotion negative emotion right and he
answered when you fear God you don't
fear anything else so when you're when
you're emancipated when you when you I
want to know how do that therapist
respond to that
answer it's delightful it's beautiful
answer but the therapist is supposed to
say Raba you don't really mean that RAB
you don't really mean that that's why
the story never huh the story's
never it's a good story it's a very good
it's a very good story it's a beautiful
story it's a very
forgive me for saying it a very story I
once met a big lak and we talk about
Victor Miller I think was a very special
man so I made a terrible mistake of
saying was a very excuse me he was a
sworn I couldn't explain to him that
when I said it was I was only saying
something positive and it was H it
didn't work out so good it didn't work
out I couldn't explain it to him
anyway VOR Miller I have a a friend of
mine who's a who's a who's a Miller from
his mother's side and he showed me a
picture from
1924 the whole Miller family is sitting
there Robie Miller is already adult at
that point sitting in the picture and
he's so clearly out of place 1924 the
was for four years living in the St of
Russia R Miller Miller went to learn the
Mir before the
Holocaust Miller spoke in his home to
his children in yish Miller was a very
unusual man he was such a lak he was a
mned in his character he was misn
everything about it was Mish he didn't
hate anybody he didn't know how to
hate he he made him mistake he
criticized he didn't care for you were
God he was not from anybody Miller
Miller was the Mist to do with him
because if he did something wrong he
told you off even if you were the So-Cal
God on the other hand he once got up at
a convention from is and went on and on
and on about laich and their work last
time they let him speak because it's
against the protocol I'll speak about
laich in a nice way Miller Miller didn't
have a MN didn't have a hateful bat in
his body he was a very tough guy where
he
America America he's a self-made man
like where in America New York someplace
Rabbi I saw a biography of his went to
his with a prayer on his
lips that one of his children should be
a and
shabas that's how long ago he got
married he lived into his
90s he was a very special person he met
many times he was a real lak but he was
a what can I tell you he was doing K in
the
50s the 50s he wrote books in English of
a Miller very special special Jew and
very unusual
man very but if you if you did something
against he didn't care if you
were he would stand up and say now loud
and you would say excuse me say
no he was one of those people he he said
what had to be said when never had to be
said he had no fear of
anybody he was mad before the came here
for
sure I had an uncle who told me he
called the was
the anyway why did come up because
was but he was in every way AAG he was
Square he wasn't but he was such a
genuine he was a Jew till his anyway I
digress
next you're not allow to have here of
course the whole world goes like this
and goes like that
why
anybody cuz we have to go different do
same what how are we on the whole world
this
know
huh making me
nervous one of your names is other one
is
mnik
is I'm good today so don't mess with me
now man how how do the whole world read
this POS and Howes read
this number
two they say
Elohim and we say
elim why do they say
Alim cuz other gods you're allowed to
call
God means other gods when you say other
gods you're allowed to say it's not's
name I spent the first two years of
years
in 1970 and 71 I guess a while ago had
teachers I
be and when we were little kids they
taught
usim and I remember gave such a kick and
saying hashem's name you know so I would
go home to my sister and I would say
elim and she get very nervous and no I'm
allowed to say it because I said
before you kids play games we say
quietly and sayem's name loud and get
everybody upset there was a whole Spiel
so we said him this was the games we
played as children
of course you did that these were our
games we didn't have Nintendo
and
but
why why and there's an answer which is
in chapter 22 which we had not long ago
in today what we do today we started
right yes was a whole this
is
that it says
that
means with his back
turned means other gods on level on the
level on the spiritual me when he
turns his
back if there's someone you can't stand
but you have to give him money or you
have to give him food you have to give
him sustenance in some way so you do it
but you do it with no love so you
literally or figuratively or both turn
your back you give it to here I'm not
going to give you a smile I'm not going
to give what call you give what you have
to give him and that's
it the explains means the is back turned
and the source of is the source
of the beginning of the idea that people
can imagine and think that this another
power in the universe besides for
himself the fact that the hides and
because the aish sometimes to some
people in some conditions turns his back
they develop the idea that maybe the is
not the only guy running the show
there's people helping him and that
becomes
so you're not allowed to have an idea
that the abish has turned this back
because if you have an idea that abish
turn this back you're going to end up
with the idea that the is out of control
that's where it starts it starts
with and it ends up I'm
sorry so the idea is you have to never
in your own
mind you are never in your own mind able
to say like Cen said when the ab did not
take his carbon very famously he said
Les there's no judging there's no
judgment and there's no hasem didn't
take hisb and his reaction was is not
paying attention not there's something
wrong with my he's not paying attention
that's and that's the beginning of you
see so we're focusing on the and they're
focusing on
the not allowed to have you're never
allowed to say the abish is not watching
you're never allowed to say the abish is
not involved you're never allowed to say
the turned his back cuz saying that the
his back is the beginning of saying that
the abish is not the only B of the
world other gods Al I love this
Al huh what's Al
mean on my face to my face now I love to
say this because I love to say it it's
one of those things that just for some
reason works for me when you look in I'm
talking
about and others and they talk about Al
They translate the face of hasem
as or to say it in other words they
translate the face of hem as a mask
which is hiding just like you look at a
person's face and the person's face
especially the forehead and the cheeks
where there's no
hair you cannot see what's going on
inside look at a person's face you know
nothing about that person upon it means
is wearing a
mask you shouldn't have other gods even
when you look at the face of God then to
you it seems that he's not he's hiding
from you then you get
toas andus takes the same face of
God
make and they make it into what say
about him I'm learning a my that I'm
going to teach this we based on this
idea that
means when you look at a person's face
you see everything about
him two people look at another person's
face I told it you in the story about
the doing this one person looks at a
person's face and he sees nothing
another person looks at a person's face
and sees
everything you should have no other God
when you're looking at the face of God
one person looks at the face of God and
he sees the to himself
another person has the very same face of
God and he sees the concealment and I'll
give it to him plain English you live in
a world of Tava no
Miracles but they collected the garbage
in the morning you understand there's
water in your pipes there's air to
breathe there's not Anarchy and violence
in the streets and you don't see
God cuz this is nature this is civics
this is our wonderful mayor and our
governor and our president to this one's
out to lunch this is out to supper this
not even show what he's out to but
they're all
out they Makes Miracles every day and
you see these Miracles all around
yourself and you don't see anything you
see nature that's out Point looking
straight at the and you see
concealment have another God when
looking straight at's face and one
person looks straight to's face he see
himself another person looks the very
very same face and shees a mask hasem is
hiding do not allow yourself to enter
entain the idea that the abish has
turned his back because if you allow
yourself to entertain the idea that
hasem turns his back you're going to
allow yourself to entertain the that
there's another
God when you're looking straight at and
you don't see nothing because your your
eyes are
closed like the story I told you what
the woman tells the Reb the should
reveal himself went like
this but inash there's a very
interesting Nuance in the word
Al and say Al
all the time that I'm
alive all places where I'm
alive and then
in you read these
say in our says you're not allow to have
another
God at all
time it says in all space and then he
says also so my question to you is more
concerned with time and more concerned
with space does that make
sense all
time what's theel what's thetick
anybody look it up don't believe me
never believe
me but other
say what's this
business it's a great question how come
he never
notied and they answer the question of
course I don't
know but according to time is higher
than
space and time being higher than space
has a number of factors and most
importantly is we have far less control
over time than we have over space you
cannot speed time up you cannot slow
time down and you cannot travel
backwards in
time
space is not nearly as inhibiting if
you're in one place not in another place
but you can get on a faster plane or on
a rocket or on a what do they call those
things from the 1970s uh
Concord and you can arrive in New York
before you left London and things like
that there are ways of EX of Expediting
the moving through space time is a very
very a much it's much more refined so
the says you be careful not to get
confused when it comes to time cuz time
is something where everybody has to
surrender more time is a limitation and
space is a limitation and a physicist
will tell you that time and space are
connected they're one of the same thing
and they're not not the same they're
close says that time comes before space
first hasm send time and then hasm
created space but they're very connected
you cannot really have any creation
that's limited to time without being
limited to space you can't really have a
creation that's limited to space without
being limited to time but nevertheless
by thead you say
kman meaning to say I don't control my
time but the abish is in charge of it
which is good enough for me as opposed
to space where you feel like you're much
more in control and you have to say I
don't control my space d controls my
space and the way I guess you would
explain this is people get very I think
about the
re the re is and was a Jew didn't waste
a second
but the re used this
time in the reality of
time to me one of the
most impressive things about the Reb is
the following
scene the Reb used to make downstairs in
sh CL
General whole bunch of people came into
a room
spoke then one by one the took their
letters and gave them dollars and the
room was empty
and then another group came in so one
group
Wasa one group
was Mitzvah boys and
girls a third group was the guest that
came for y and the fourth group
was it was one of the few times that the
waited for us if you walked in the
second group or the third group or the
fourth group they sitting in a chair in
an empty room and waiting for people to
come in and grer is
nervous always nervous no move you
wasting the's time and the Reb said I
going very patiently they're all here
can I start and I going say yeah yeah
yeah yeah and the would say they're all
here can I start and yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah say gr was nervous the's time was
much more valuable than RAB G's time RAB
G about the's time the had time if he
had to wait for you that was his
job but if he wasn't waiting for you he
didn't waste a split second who was a
very very holy Jew used to say that
would walk into his room after and
before the door was closed he was
holding a
saf he says that e care about not being
V was not normal he didn't waste a
second but when he had to waste time was
part of his job had plenty of time to
waste which is amazing that for a person
who's so precise with his time not to be
nervous about his time
that's one of my favorite videos and
maybe I'm exaggerating a little I've
watched it many times and I'm sort of
deciding what's going on in the video
but there's a video of a couple coming
to the de from
Cleveland with a child who could not
speak the child was four or five years
old and um they come to theab tell the
the child cannot speak andb gives him a
and as as all the Miracles with all
happen after you start walking away
calls you back they're about to leave
and suddenly says to the little
boy you
know so the boy doesn't know what to say
say so so everybody around them you
watch the scene there's theb there's
this poor beleaguered kid and then
there's all the helpers Mama and Papa
and z and everybody's nervous
Ander and is calm as a
whistle you
know and the little kid somebody tells
for him yeah and the Reb says clear say
it now but you could almost feel the
power of the kadha to say it now and the
puts his hand on his stander
relaxes I got all day long you take take
as much time as you need the kid
couldn't speak so every syllable is is
taking effort and four people are the
scene is so disturbing that wanted the
kid say let him say it his father's
helping him by grer is helping my grer
is helping his father's helping him and
they're making each other nervous wow
and the's got his elbow on Hiser say it
now and the kid says the home takes him
some time I'm takes him a few seconds
but he says it and then the re says to
him thank you for the lesson
thank you for teaching me the kids start
to speak after that that's pretty cool
but the way that e had time for this I
half time I'm the busiest man in the
world but to this little boy to say may
I got all time whatever it takes
whatever it takes say it now you have to
watch the video
that's time is a entity we have very
little control over if you serve hasem
correctly your time is God's time so you
don't waste any of
it but you're not nervous about it
either you use it exact
wants so for a you
say there not all to be when it comes to
your time not allow to have thoughts
that either I'm not using my time too
not efficiently enough or too
efficiently I use the time use it in
about you don't talk about about talk
about space which is much more
tangible whether that's true or not I
don't know but that's my interpretation
I will see you in a week you are an
amazing amazing
