a
is
and why I mean hug is to to say or learn
it between uh pesach and Shavuot and we
also touched upon the gemara in Baba
Kama if you remember now
um right we said
is a
it's called a wrote one we said I said
I'll just says last week
was that just like the avat
AR it means the titles right which have
many subcategories and details so to
avoid is like we should view every
mishna
even Michelle which we're going to learn
and you know madayak and all the rest of
it they're only really you know divert
their titles to many more subcategories
right because really they say that
is
everything that's learned here is just
expounding on and and elaborating on
what's said
as the Emmanuel says
are something which is small in the
mount but it contains a heck of a lot
right that was what I'm sure he said and
one shot just to remind you we said why
we learn it between between
um
foreign is
apart from the factors which we'll
discuss more today you know it's all
about economy dot it's also because the
weather is getting hotter yeah it's
getting hotter now it's supposed to be
very hot tomorrow and people instead of
going out and want to go and enjoy
themselves and go on trips etc etc
and so
as an antidote to that is right put you
back on track and we also said that it's
a time of dim right the time will be
Keepers the tamidium died a result says
we may have din I just saw today in
says the holy spirit is Meredith
you know that yeah
the whole thing is then that's why they
look at your hair and and you know kind
of weddings Etc
foreign
is more humble he's more open to accept
Musa which is what it's about so the
minute came about oh now's a good time
for Carlisle to learn you know when
they're more willing to accept they'll
just yeah tidbits all we did last week
now I want to discuss today the Ezra
Hashem
why do we start why do we preface we
said the question last week I want to go
into this week with the mission of
calling this
is
um
why do we do it it's a mission in San
Andreas foreign
now
the answers I saw they were given are so
fundamental
right they're so fundamental on the one
hand and empowering on the other that I
think it's worth it you know to devote a
whole share to them if we don't get to
the first actual Mission with your
permission yeah no really you'll see
it's unbelievable
so we start with the first one the money
is quoting the magician I didn't see
inside
that this chart
is is the is the key to success in any
Endeavor in life
when we we're talking about success in
our purpose in life the reason that
we're here right and he said his father
unless
you are crystal clear before you start
any Endeavor why you're doing what
you're about to do yeah or what you want
to achieve and what you're going to do
so then so then even if you complete the
task okay even if you complete the task
you're not going to enjoy it as much
and and you're not going to put half as
much effort and essentially you're not
going to be it's not going to be as good
a product or whatever it is in the end
of the day right he gives an example
right a person when a person comes like
I build a house you know she puts it
with all the butter gun and everything
goes on and the heartache and and
everything and the money issues and
kablan and blah blah blah everything
goes on into it right but and it is a
big business
about people you know they they go for
it why a bigger house
it's worth it you understand all this
balagan and the Seville is going this is
going towards you can have a bigger
house and we do it and look nice
right so it's well there's a person goes
into it even it's not so easy people's
effort into it and he put you know and
he pays their attention to every detail
and you know to a certain extent he
might even enjoy it because he knows
where he's going to right yeah it's like
pretty basic idea so listen to this so
he says that
um uh
um
yeah he says that he says that because
which encapsulates the purpose of what
we're here for
right the person
so therefore we preface by saying
all right
where are we going
guys where are we going where we go
where we're doing it what are we doing
for called
we're aiming for you understand and
therefore we should realize we're about
to learn everything about the rainbow
secret award call this that's what we're
heading for yeah and when you realize
what we're heading for and you know and
you know the idea is we have some sort
of increase
the biggest pleasure the animal could
ever imagine is you know is the bask in
the growing right
and that is what we've been said over
here that is why we preface
to realize before we learned each parent
whatever is that weak right all the Musa
are you going to learn is what what for
what what I'm about right you're working
now of the word
now we said last week you know it's full
of you're giving you you know
not just
right and we do that because that's so
when you know where you're going you'll
get lost do you understand in this and
something's not so easy and this is
thinking be careful about this and learn
through as much as you can and Torah
about that
there's so many things right you know
um you know
and all these things you won't come to
that various all these Musa
know where you're going with it that's
how you say that that's the first part
okay okay
now
um I even said the quote I just say how
he says here just to finish off how he
says over here there's a quote from the
major shmuel
he says
when we're learning this
it is to be kind in the middle through
which you will get which will expound on
right
that is going to be that is the the the
means in which they help us to get to
right
um
yeah and he says also the km if Amanda
last week by the end of this year we
mentioned uh
when it said in Gomorrah in babakama
whoever wants to become a khasid he
should be makayem he said
you want to be able to do it not just
read it right therefore learn you want
to learn it now in order
okay now
um again
that where a person hasn't got a good me
thought then you know his tournament
I'm gonna get places do you understand
because how can you not speak Russian
horror if you've jealous of this one you
get angry you understand all these
things how are you going to stop not
speak Russian instead you have to be
able to work to be able to get the
control to be able to become
look at this you understand it won't
happen otherwise so that's that's the
end of this again obviously it works
both ways the more Thor I learned
enables you to welcome you've got more
but you have to start the ball rolling
with it okay
now there's a beautiful chart of the tea
ferret award also when the memory is
another gem
enables us to become aware of our
intrinsic self-worth yeah this is what
this shot is
and he says the reason why we say
college
if the person might say you know they
might give up from the start why you'll
say look you know all these things you
know
I mean
come on I mean these all these things
over here for great people great people
said they're great people kept it I'm
not a great guy I mean who am I I'm like
I can't even start on these things I
mean it's not shy person might say
something
so he says he says um he says that no
he says you have to you have to realize
he says that
we all said yeah
three weeks right three weeks time
better
um we're coming up to show world we all
said now seven Ishmael every one of us
on the shamot with their house
and he brings and it's a beautiful
Majors he says when it says that the
malachim came down and gave us two
crowns right now seven Ishmael this
isn't this beautiful shot he said those
two crowns were the midot
gave us to enable us to achieve what we
need to achieve in this world gave us in
his result zealousness and humility we
know he said right there are three basic
things of the Jewish people
not the Jewish person intrinsic within
us how to be you know have a brochure to
have a government to be able to give
other people
merciful people that's within us and he
says he says that
um
uh
and he said some of these things which
Hashem gave us right were enabled to
enable us through
right and others that help us to not do
you know not transgress the Lord said
yeah Hashem gave them to us you know
and he says that therefore the the
tunnel says
don't think right here we mean we're
focusing on here you know different
parts of of the mishnah before we say
conversation
the stress was know where you're going
now the point is because we're
addressing a different uh different a
different aspect
you know the person's like who are mine
it's like
every single Jewish person
give me these kindness I'm a normal guy
average guy you eat
you've got the killing fruit you've got
them
yeah don't wreck it is
very wealthy King and one son and he
wanted to give over his survivors and
give her wealth and the whole Medina
everything to his son but he wanted his
son to go and learn some very skilled
trade whether you know in diamonds
whatever it was Architects something you
know skilled so you know people won't
say and he was just a prince lounging
around having a good life yeah so you
know it won't look it won't look good
you know I mean the king get away with
the prince his heir to the throne
everything he gave to him what's the guy
through the bum I mean what'd he do in
life nothing right so he told his son
new go you know go somewhere I'll pay
for you everything go to jail go to hell
I know what just get a good Degree come
back and mention I'm in this land and
then I can give you everything
so your son goes to this fourth place
Medina I answered in school trade but he
needs he needs very uh specific
uh I don't know I mean things he needs
what's a good word Caleb
um tools yeah and he's good Tools in
Northern able to you know to learn and
do what he needs to do so his father the
king you know it's some something very
specialist thing and some other
far-flung country you know no problems
against the best tools best everything
so his son can do a good job anyway
son's coming back by sea on some ocean
nine of the royal ocean the qe3 yeah and
then that's an English thing and um and
uh
it should be the the KC
three now no it should be the case you
get it QE2 is a Queen Elizabeth II so
that should be the KC three anyway all
right anything about it so
um uh so he says and then his son there
wherever there was something and there
was you know the boat was the whole
issues in the boat there was you know a
big big storm so he just threw the Kalin
off you know you can't hack it through
and he's like oh what did I do I mean
like what am I supposed to do that I
need this this I hope I learned
everything and my father
one embarrassment
so the the two third double says it's
the same thing Hashem gave us all these
cading all this means the ability to
have kedushan Tara and Iran and all
these things and another he gave it to
us we said NASA nishma don't throw it
into the sea you understand don't throw
into the sea and wreck it because the
person can use it you know but
okay now
um
another aspect
it is from a different angle of this is
uh the yeah her Thurber said this one a
similar idea that a person might say
I mean
I'm so low I'm gonna go so far I'm done
this wrong and that wrong and everything
else why oh my God I mean don't be okay
about yeah I mean not not just because
it's like the previous question you know
there was such ketoshima tell Rim who am
I to do it this person's like you know I
mean I'm right down there what's the
point what is the point it's just it's a
non-starter so again
his last one is he says
he says
um
he says that
yes
[Music]
everyone he says can ignite his soul
there's no such thing right the pintally
they're saying yeah
however dirty you know you did it you
can get rid of all the dirt
it will happen right I just add the the
says
and it's ever thought about it he says
why why is it
that
show my many stars and says I call
heaven heaven our volume everything's
Heaven it's all vanities of vanities
everything and it goes through there and
he mentions this thing comes their
Heaven something else comes there Heaven
There comes Heaven comes and he said
already you start off the safer you
should know
everything you know without like he says
everything else is empty right when he
was doing it for the sake of this world
there's nothing to it vanity so why do
you say again that is also a vanity and
this also happens why because he says
we've got a nephe of a hamit inside us
and any animal you know you have to hit
very hard to get back on track you know
if the cow goes veers off so you have to
whack he's in one whack it just can't
very awkward he wants to get to some
grass you have to hit and hit and hit
and eventually the cow go back in nine
it's the same thing you have to go again
and again and again again whack away you
understand and therefore
[Applause]
just keep on doing it keep on acting it
all makes an effect it's it's an
accumulative effect do you understand
you won't see the results straight away
with me but you have to keep on banging
and banging and banging the whole time
goes as far to say
that he said if a person will talk about
I think I mentioned this in usheri if a
person will talk his whole life about
Indiana
and repentance
his whole life is talking about giving
room and everything and learning about
it he said maybe once into this maybe
it'll be zooke to once have a real hurry
hurry in his life hear that
it's not an idea because every night we
live in the world of big and amounts and
how large do you think that my whole
life one hero children well what's the
point of that that's nothing right no
it's everything because we in Torah is
it's the quality it's not the quantity
do you understand the effort you put in
and you managed to have a real true
quality oh you know that you have to do
Trevor it was all worth it for that but
it could take your whole life you
understand and he says and if he didn't
be we didn't talk about it he wouldn't
get to that you get it so you know it's
two things over here one is you have to
keep going and going and going and going
and even don't feel anything it all has
a cumulative effect right and even if
that came with the fact is that one
small thing that's everything do you
understand it's the effort you put in
yes now
what says one bright spark might come
along and say
the opposite
so anyway My Religion number is
guaranteed so I'll just have an easy
life back burner just everything simple
no effort they match you know go to my
wmm do this and that one it's you know
exert myself any particular thing on my
middle to my learning or anything and
anyway I've got guaranteed
right so on that there's a few answers
yeah the big the famous answer is
when he's talking about what's going to
get the average person to you know get
working on himself and his middle he
says
when a person says like you know look
you know I'm a humble person so we'll
have a front row seat okay
I'm not supported about it says
you're not supposed about this so when
your business competitor got a big deal
with some International Company
and it was in the papers yeah in
worldwide
didn't budge you you're happy you are
you're you know your little business
over there okay so you but you were
vying for the same I'm not bothered when
he got a bigger house bigger car his
kids are more successful didn't phase
you right the positive that's nothing
right
yeah
rubbish she said
it bothers you big time right and the
whole reason why people are what people
are working and going this and that
because they want to outdo the other guy
whether it's money-wise whether it's you
know honor wise with his power struggle
wise whatever it is right he's going
going going so don't give me that
rubbish that you know
I'm happy with my it's not true you
understand that's not true and that's
how it's time adds also he said uh it
says
then you'll get it you'll be successful
in your mentora and going to go people
do for money
what do people not do for money
everything right they put money into
money time effort but everything they
put in for money so it says so just like
people do that for money which is got
here today gone tomorrow do that for
tomorrow it's what and you get somewhere
guaranteed to get something with money
put a lot of effort and go down the
drain right invest in something the
whole thing falls apart here you're
guaranteed it says
don't believe you put F and you didn't
get it not true it can't be yeah so
that's also questions now
um finally
uh
uh final shot and this will just say to
the actual to um say the words in the in
the pastor this is
what does he say
he says yes
and he said that this is
every single Jewish person has his
particular
based on his unique
and his particular purpose get it
as again to make a person realize now
answer the first question who am I I
tell you who you are you're you and no
one else can do what you can do right
they do specifically that famous story
and then stormy the orchestra
the famous story right right right you
know the famous start there with actual
story was by the name of someone who was
who was was Ill was cancer or something
and you know when he was and he decided
to join with a camp in the cat skills
and he was learning and and at some
point he just lost track he thought you
know what what am I achieving anyway
with all the block I'm here you know
they're learning so much and it's like
what what's it worth you know my bit of
learning Gamora what am I doing and then
told him his story right his famous
story when they they played some you
know the Kazakhstan Philharmonic for
argument's sake
150 piece for you know Orchestra they're
playing you know Beethoven's whatever
Mozart I don't know wherever you want
whatever you like and um and um and they
played it this beautiful piece to this
unbelievable effect worldwide conductor
and they said no how how was it how are
you feeling it the comment on the radio
or something how well you know what do
you want to say and comment on their
performance
he said very good very good but they're
supposed to be 50 in violins there's
only 14.
and they're like what there's a hundred
piece 150 pieces of what
and they they looked into it there's
somebody's true story there was supposed
to be 15 violinists and and the day when
they played one guy got sick and he
didn't turn up
and this conductor heard from 100 that
yeah one one vitamin wasn't there so he
said I mean like we are a credit score
like hashem's Orchestra and yes if
there's one violin missing it makes a
difference it makes a difference to him
right so he says
right
and he says
she explained they're going to get my
symptoms and and at the same time they
are my plantings through which says I
get glory and they're great brings when
Hashem
always speak about the greatness and
speak about clad Israel because it were
you know I it's like a person does
something you know they're my people
through that that's what that's what
should be to
talk about it and buy all these ideas
