shal we're up
to
in this year is actually the third in a
series of which is based on a which I
heard
from his this week actually just
before there was an awful piga an awful
terrorist attack I think it was a number
two bus at the time in me and I
mentioned previously had come to Han and
he gave look inspiration and direction
at such a time and he mentioned as we've
said previously that there are three
mitzah which a person should be careful
about in times of stress and Times of
danger and each one has a quality of
bringing the sh down meaning the
protection comes that the divine
presence comes and stays with us and
that's the protection that's the
security blanket that we have the three
were we mentioned previously in the
first year you bring down the sh from
the highest World which is the world of
aus by the k covered by the holy throne
and you bring it down all into into the
world of AIA the world which we live the
world in which we function the second
Mitzvah which we spoke about last week
is kadas bis the Holiness of the sh of
the synagogue inside the community it's
like the reservoir the resir of all
kadha of all Holiness is the sh inside
the community and therefore be very
careful of the sanctity of the reverence
and the respect and the dignity which is
needed when you come into a Sho this
year focuses on the last point which he
mentioned and that was saying 100 bras a
day let me give you a little bit of
background behind this what happened at
the end of the life of David there was
an awful plague an awful epidemic and
over a 100 people died a day I think it
was 100 B from all over Isel and was
completely Beed he was grief stricken
here you see a beautiful example of what
a king does what what does it mean a
monarch in clur a m holds tremendous AAS
responsibility he felt incredibly
responsible for what was going on and he
davened and daved and he asked to be
informed and revealed why it was that so
many people were dying you remember the
passage just uh beautiful passage I
remember reading
by he mentioned
that Esther wore the malus when she went
inside the king of a and what does it
mean she wore malus she was responsible
she felt since she was the
queen I am for my people tremendous
responsibility and that's what he was
grief stricken to hear that so many
people were dying he daved and
eventually a basal came and told him
it's because clell were LAX they were
weak they were not strong in the midst
of saying 100 Bas a day immediately doid
made a takona through every Community
around a so that everybody should be
careful and their obligation and their
privilege also to say 100 b a day it's
interesting that actually the takona the
ordinance of saying 100 Bas a day really
came from the time of mosenu so why do
we need the Tak of and the answers that
in
the ansers follows and also
the and the answers as follows
the what does ask from you says
the he asks from you 100 Bas meaning
there's a request from to say 100 Bas a
day a praise and thanks and appreciation
to the almighty says the it was
forgotten and dbid brought the takon
back and that was the greatness of D he
brought the Tak back and as soon as they
started the takon went around the plague
subsided and people stopped dying and
from there we learn the enormous
importance of being careful with one's
bras I must mention at this point if
women are listening to this
that and also said women are not Duty
Bound in 100 Bas simply because they
don't have the opportunity they don't
have talent they don't have to fill in
many women don't have and Mar but
certainly a women should be extremely
careful and particular about the Bas
that they say but as far as 100 goes
they're not M to do that let's go on a
little bit further and explain exactly
what's what we mean here the nature of a
what we must do is look to see exactly
what does it mean the great quality of a
what is the great quality what is behind
saying a and really it's the pivot of
all prayer every prayer every word which
we utter in front of the almighty has
the same feature as well and the Bas are
included in that I'm taking as an
example here but what we must do is turn
to the writings of
the 5 Parra 4 154 if you want to look it
up and the r explains as follows I think
this is the important basis to
understand what does it mean the
importance of saying Bas says there were
two major forces of which the world
functions the first is
called the force of nature and the
second one is the the choice of a human
being let's explain what he means the
force of nature is dynamic is forceful
is profound meaning the whole of nature
the world of the nature the planets the
Sun the moon everything that happens the
world of Agriculture everything is Da
that day follows night that Summers
follows spring the force of nature is
very Dynamic and forceful and that's
called the force of nature by itself
animals who created different features
let's say animal vegetable minimal in
the words of
the something which is silent and
still which is an animal and human being
all these
qualities all these qualities are all in
the force of nature created them in a
certain way and human beings of course
this one is different from that one
person's nose is different eyes are
different his features are different
that's all part of the force of nature
it comes from above
from just an interesting quality the
great of the once mentioned as follows
when we
say it means also the characteristics
the features the wildness of a lion the
swiftness of a deer the abilities and
the nature the traits of a person and an
animal as well also included in the
that's all called the force of nature
why I am made like this and you are made
like that and food agriculture colors
fall and for everything there is in the
creation is all under the nature of of
the force of nature which there is but
says that's only one part of it the the
choice of a human being what he does
with his life and how a human being
reacts is a very powerful force and
Rises up and affects and makes great
influence and impact on what there is
above in the force of nature that's a
very powerful thought meaning we have
What's called the laws of nature and the
force of Nature and the power Reign and
Water and Light and everything and
darkness all the nature natural things
that we have but we have also the power
of human being to make a great influence
above the question is which is the more
powerful the choice of a human being
meaning as we see for example by the
time of the flood in the time of Noah we
see what happened man corrupted the
world and the whole world was destroyed
so we see it was taken away the force of
nature just overcome by the forces of
evil of a human being similarly by
sto in the cities of there in the time
of ainu and a light you see there
clearly that there was a force of a
human being to change the laws of nature
and everything was radically altered in
these cases was destroyed we also have
the concept of sadic that sadic supports
the world meaning that there is a
tremendous power of a human being to
send something up and make a tremendous
impact and influence on the world itself
you'll ask me which is greater which is
the greater
force it's interesting if you look at
Rashi in the beginning of the Rashi
mentions quite clearly that all the
agriculture in the world was held under
the surface of the ground and Hashem
waited until the rain would come but man
had to First Pray For Rain says Rashi
therefore we see that the the
maintenance of the world and the
continuation of the world was really
dependent on man it wouldn't have
carried on and writes in
his the whole world was stayed in a
bance until a man comes along and davens
to rain and that would be the
continuation of the world the the the
ability to continue on and therefore
perhaps we can say as follows as much as
the force of nature is so powerful the
power of a human being his good acts and
his bad act he makes a direct influence
on the on the world itself if you want
to take this further take a look at the
beginning of
of if he talks about that the great
power of a human being we mentioned it
in the previous year some weeks ago the
power of a human being is he makes a
great influence above the power of
nature is very forceful and Powerful but
the power of a human being is what he
does and how he acts and there we must
introduce the whole topic when it comes
to saying bras and prayer bras rise up
and make a tremendous influence their
impact is enormous in the world and
that's what we have to try and
understand here the nature of a b maybe
that's what was saying here in his words
in how off the nature of ABA is you
cause protection and you cause care and
and and Welfare inside the World by
making a 100 Bas a day you bring the sh
down as much as there's a tremendous
force of nature which may in some way
the force of evil as well but there is a
force of a human being to lift up the
world and raise its whole status and
change what is happening in the
world maybe side that's exactly what
we're going through now the tremendous
forces of evil of Hamas which is taking
place in the world and the tremendous
anti-Semitism which was going on but we
have to realize as well the power of our
prayer is enormous it rises up to sh and
causes a tremendous change meaning
that as says in our power is to alter
what's going on in the world and that's
the nature of and there therefore what
we must look at in this year
particularly as much as the great SS
which are going on in clarisol Let's
Walk Away by boite with something very
practical and something which is useful
which is every day daily what is the
nature of a b that we're making what is
the power that we have in our choice and
had mentioned that that we can force a
change in the power of nature we can
force a change in the world that is cus
the definition
of the sadic he causes welfare and
benevolence and well-being and that is
the meaning behind what had said if you
say 100 Bas a day then you're bringing
the sh down and that is perhaps one of
the greatest life insurance policies
that you have being careful with your
Bas saying the Bas carefully and
accurately if that's the case what i'
like to do is I hope bring you examples
of how we can strengthen ourselves in
this particular case when it comes to
Bas what is the necessar the setting
behind a b how must we understand let me
explain to you something that once
happened to me it was during a very hot
weather I think it was in
and there was a going on and I went to
speak to one of my in
the in his house I went to talk to him
in his house as I sat at the table he
offered me a drink and I was sitting
opposite the W of course sitting in
front of a an eminent and a
great I made a beautiful I was so
careful I was articulate I was precise
in my words and I said the aloud and he
said and after that he
said remember as he said those words I
was taken back to me I think I had a
white beard at the time you say to me
why do you say it to me I looked at his
face he was 100% genuine he wasn't being
far from it being any cynical at all and
it's funny in our mind we think of the
word you say to a fouryear old child
makes a beautiful but there's no age
barrier to sayir you can say it to a man
who's 80 or 90 and I thought to myself
how strange it was how small-minded I
was I didn't
realize every body should make a make it
good make it send up this send up this
and make a beautiful I was so careful
articul I remember after that I think
for a week or so I was particularly
careful with my bras that's the point
here when you're careful with your bras
a then you're sending up something a
tremendous a blanket of welfare in the
world itself which comes back down and
therefore the is greater than some ways
than
the the force of nature in that
respect I remember another that happened
to me when I used to live in
Hani and a friend of mine was making a
Kish for his little girl he had a little
girl was born and I went with my
children next door to the house in the
next building I think it was and I sat
with my children and I made Kish and
sitting opposite me was one of the
drivers of the
Manchester he was sitting right opposite
me and I made Kish with my children
around me after I finished making KES
the man opposite turned man and said I
must be honest with you he said quite
clearly between the eyes he said said
the manchest OFA would never have said
aain to that that you made the Children
looked at me said AB what's going on
here and he said as follows he explained
the if you say you don't say it's me he
said you dropped the hay you you
said and don't drop the hay he said if
you drop a letter then the isn't correct
isn't inaccurate and therefore from then
on I was
care be articulate be careful with every
single letter that you're making these
are the points which I'd like to build
up on and the last point which I'd like
to mention is a beautiful Marshall which
I remember hearing many years ago
from he explained in the following way
when a little boy comes to the age of
three so his parents buy him a pair of
tias a dinky pair of tias a tiny little
pair of tias he goes to the age of six
or seven so you change the beggar the
boy boy a little bit bigger no he goes
to the age of 13 you buy him another
pair of ties as a child grows up so the
parents buy him a larger pair of tites
said Rak can you imagine a zilzil how
disparaging it would be how belittling
it would be if the of 22 23 went under
the wearing his dinky pair of
TI what happened here why didn't he grow
up with his beggar with his tias surely
when you get to the older age you don't
wear a little three-year-old pair of
tizas wear a larger pair of tizas said
Rak one of the major problems that we
have is we don't mature with our Mitzvah
that's only a physical case but think of
it a little bit further AB how many
times do we think about ainu had a house
with four doors yeah he did have a house
with four doors but Ain was far greater
than just that he was called the am of
the pillar of Charity and and kindness
in the world he was far greater than
that we have to grow up with our
understanding with our mindset of who
these personalities are take YF in MIT
next week we'll start talking about YF
had sadik and you think YF yes everybody
knows in kindergarten yosf had a coat of
many colors
y was an of his
tremendous his tremendous responsibility
and his anov every time y was far
greater than just a coat you have to
grow we have to grow in our
understanding we have to mature with our
Mitzvah and that really is the point
which I like to bring out here in this
particular case when it comes to Bas I
hope we're not seeing rattling out of B
and saying it like we did as we did in
Gan in kindergarten B needs care needs
to be precise one has to mature with one
Mitzvah one has to say it clearly it is
after all one of the most crucial
recognitions that a person has a tribute
to the B of his creation of all that he
did in the world his maintenance of and
his benevolence what is a a is a
testimony a tribute how KES created
everything whether it's a cup of coffee
whether you go to the bathroom whether
you're washing your hands whether you're
putting on whatever it is it's a tribute
and a testimony
a the greatness of a is that you're
sending something up and that's what
what web SCH had mentioned you're
sending up welfare you're sending up
benevolence by being careful and they
come down and they change the force of
nature if we understand correctly what
the is saying here that's the greatness
behind it all but we have to mature RAB
we have to make a with more more
understanding with more comprehension
with more depth the mindset must be
stretched we can't just wear the dinky
paired sit is we can't make a like just
rattling the words off like maybe you
say your identification number or
telephone number you know say out your
number like you say AB is said like that
you know like you say my passport number
or my telephone number you rattle it out
that's not the way to say it it needs
more care and that's what I think I
learned
from
when means there's no age barrier to
saying a person say carefully precisely
and articulately it must be said with a
passion also with a Devotion to it's an
expression of thanks as you'll see in a
minute we'll go into that here what I
like to do in this year is only one
section of of a there is another sh
which I'd like to
give also on which gives more depth of
the nature of the in this particular sh
what i' like to do is go through every
word that is said in the B and maybe
give you some maturity and depth of
comprehension behind every single word
that you're saying and maybe after that
maybe you'll have the ability to think
more carefully about it it won't just be
a hlap it won't just be a rattle it'll
be something a real tribute and a
testimony for the words that you're
saying let's begin with the word b B
according to most the word means a
reservoir of the source of all it's a
praise and appreciation to our he is the
source of all and nearly all theim say
that the word BR means a thank you a
blessing blessing for all that he gives
everything that is provided that's the
nature of what b means that's what most
sh him
hold maybe we could say a little bit
further than that inside the word who
makes bras a makes bras you don't hear a
or don't hear anybody else saying B
is like 100 a day that's a great tribute
of Cl isra AI a Jew says b what is the
nature of the word Yi let's go back to
the definition which I bought some time
ago
of beautiful definition of what yudi
means inside the word Yi is the sh
hasem and and and and also a dad it
means y from the word Yehuda to thanks
what does it mean to be Mo to appreciate
and thank the almighty this is I think
the definition of the depth behind the
word b it's a thanks it's appreciation
in the following way said by pinkas if
you want to look at up shabas Mal I
think right at the beginning of the sa P
says as follows the letter dalad as we
know the gar discusses in chabas is
always a loan dad means D dad means poor
feeble dad is caring away from the
gimmel the gimmel behind the gimmel is
open and
giving a gimmel is a person who gives
out and who the ability to give Dad is
an Oni an Oni is cing behind the dad
that's the nature of the letter and he
receives a reflection from the the
gimmel that's the nature of it now put
the dallad is the yudi behind him is the
yud the letters of a he's picking up he
himself is a nobody is a nothing but
he's picking up a tremendous Reflection
from Y and and and inside and that's
what the the is carrying because he is
nothing after all like the Moon is
nothing without the Sun so we are
nothing really be if we wouldn't have
Hashem reflecting on us looking like a
mirror looking the mirror is really
nothing at all the greatness of a mirror
is you stand in front of it and it picks
up a reflection The Mirror's greatness
is in intrinsically is nothing it's just
a piece of glass but in reality you
stand in front of it then you see what's
what's going on and that's really what
we are moodi inside the word b is a dad
the Jew but he's reflecting Hashem on
him and that's the nature of the B isn't
that a beautiful beautiful explanation
of what it means B yi yi is I'm
reflecting Hashem on me and that's my
Yuda from the word h to give thanks
that's a beautiful expression if you can
think of that when you say the word b
how powerful that is I am giving over
the reflection which Hashem has given me
and that's my praise and appreciation to
him but I want to take you further since
the purpose of this year is to help you
mature and give you Enlightenment
inspiration I want to give you a little
bit more to think about what does it
mean in the
word there's one particular the rash the
rashba explains a little bit more in
Chas in in the Chas I think it's cha me
or me from me to me I think are the Chas
there The Bash talks about he explains
as follows a little bit more than just
what we've just said says inside the
word b also means a RI an extra an
addition a to it's more than that but
behind loan begins Shas
explaining that is a what there is
already and more you're increasing on
something meaning for example when you
say
benching you're appreciating that Hashem
has given bread he should continue to
give inside the appreciation is also a
request for more it's not just a
statement of thanks there is also the
recognition that there's more and it
comes from you Hashem and that's the the
rib is that in my in my in my
recognition also requesting more as well
that's the nation the let me give you an
example which is brought by in sh NE he
explains as
follows you might have heard there's a
beautiful song which I remember years
ago they s called
t one day the great K God walked into
the says the and he saw there a vision
of the whatever it is a I don't know
what it is I saw once a cha
he says we don't know what it means like
that what does it mean whatever Vision
he saw he saw a vision as he was going
in on yamer to the the holy of holies he
saw a vision of the almighty and the
almighty said to
him my son give me a give me a
blessing the said as follows you are
already
the you are already you have be more in
give more in you do already control your
anger control it more isn't that really
what we're saying in the rash here you
are already you should always be you
should be you should increase on it and
that's the and that says is the meaning
behind according to the way we learning
give more what there is already and more
to addition a behind it I remember I
once heard a beautiful she on this point
from in the he explained as follows a
little bit more detail what does it mean
the the addition the added factor which
is Behind the
B There is
a in that when you bench after a meal
you say you should leave the crumbs on
the table you should not sweep away all
the crumbs leave a piece of bread or if
nothing else at least leave the crumbs
on the table the reason is the says
there inside the
there's no such thing as something from
nothing a doesn't come from nothing a
must come from something meaning the
crumbs on the table are the source of
the B and therefore what we're
mentioning here the r the additional
comes from the crumbs which you have
there let there be more of what there is
already there's no such thing as yes may
anymore there's nothing yes may
something from nothing stopped after the
six days of creation now it's only yes M
something from something else something
from something else meaning you must
have the source in order for the BR to
be increased to
multiply underneath in the there there's
a pish on the called the the brings the
following uh historical fact which
happened if you remember the wife of the
navi ovadia became an almona ovadia was
a geic and he spent a tremendous amount
of money and borrowed money in order to
support 100 prophets at the time King
akov and his wife Isa was hunting out
and terrorizing all the Nim all the
different prophets at the time and he
supported 50 in one cave and 50 in
another it's in the beginning of it's a
MIM base pay dallad this what I'm about
to tell
you he supported them all he looked
after them all he gave them all that
they needed and he took loans as well
and then he died and unfortunately the
wife was left as a widow with her two
sons with no money at all the creditors
came and asked for their money and had
no money to give them she was bankrupt
she had nothing at all they took her two
sons away from her as slaves she was
left with nothing nothing at all she had
two sons were taken her husband had died
NE she went to her husband's CA grave
every single day and Dav for Yeshua for
help abascal says the Rak in the POS
says a bascal and a voice from Heaven
came and told her Alisha is going to
come to town and he'll give you a Elisha
came to down the next day or so and he
came to her house and he turned around
to the and said as
follows what do you have in your house
what do you have in your house she had
nothing at all but she did have
something she had the tiniest measure of
oil said to dip the end of the little
finger the pinky the end of the pink
that's all she had in the house and if
that's the case go to all your neighbors
and your friends borrow every barrel and
jug and glass every container that you
have and fill the house up with
containers then I will go out of the
house you'll close the door and you'll
start pouring the oil and the oil will
continually poor and from that you will
be able to pay for your debts and bring
your sons
back interesting kazal explained I
remember once reading kazal on this m in
the med says that from the BR of the oil
on Alisha she became fabulously wealthy
she paid up she got and she remained one
of the wealthiest families in the whole
of
is the of the oil remained in the family
and that family became one of the
wealthiest wealthiest families in Kel
for all time your ter to me said who is
the family who is the family you want to
make a good sh when I'm sorry I don't
know I can't tell you I don't know who
the family is I'm sorry I can't help you
I remember I once said that to a class
of girls in a sem and I said the
wealthiest family and they all looked at
me and stared at me and I said I'm sorry
I don't know I can't help you with a sh
I don't know who they are in reality the
of the oil worked the question is which
the ask why did Alisha have to ask the
wife of aadia the Alona what do you have
in your house he could just give her a b
because because there's no such thing as
something from nothing you have to have
something for the B to work on and
that's the meaning behind the rash of
there must be something which you're
working with from there you build on I
have a close friend who was actually
doing shimes by a great Diane I think
Dian Abu he was in t aib a great and he
used to talk to families and couples
with Shai's problems and get him and he
said he was once sitting by Dian Abu and
he said a couple came in who had
tremendous problems with shom bayas and
they said uh please help us give us a
and the r turned around and said to the
couple interesting before I talk to you
you must agree to one thing you must
agree to stop shouting at each other
then we can talk if you can stop
shouting then we can begin meaning the
it has to have something to fall on if
you're not doing anything at all you
have to begin it begins with you're not
shouting that's the nature of it meaning
if you're asking for you have to have
the source the source is that you're not
shouting at each other that's there's no
such thing as anymore it's only a girl
once asked me I remember so what's the
of finding a what is
it I turn man to and said I think as
follows when a girl improves herself and
conditions herself she's careful with
her she's reliable with her prayer she's
careful with her with her kindness she
Listen to If she has those qualities
that's the that's something you're
building on something there I think
that's where the sh comes from I think
that's the answer there it's something
from something it's not something
anymore something from nothing and
that's the quality which we have to
understand here and therefore the word
as we said is the reservoir the source
of all but there's more to it than that
it's also inside as a request for more
what there is already let me bring you a
beautiful expression from the at the end
of if you
remember gave all theas to the children
and the
says each son according to he was
according to the that he gave him says
listen to these beautiful words of
the the which is suitable for each
son according to who he was his
according to his
actions says You must know each each
single has a particular quality and
attribute which it
has some people have the quality of Kun
that was given to
Ley some have the the trait of
nobility some people have the quality of
in them which
was the of certain people wealth which
was there are quality which a person
have it doesn't come from nothing it's
not hot air you give a and just no you
have to have the source you have to own
the source that's what the is saying
when yob came he saw and looked at the
of each child and then gave the to them
which is a beautiful point the idea is
you have to own with you own the source
then you can work with it and that's
what it means a is a re not just a a
reservoir a source
of next word which is the word at at is
you as you know the rashba and another
cha asks another
question why is it that AB is
grammatically incorrect it begins with
you and
ends he who brought the fruit out of the
ground you go from youo at the beginning
to he who at the end why does it shift
from you second person to third person
to He Who it's grammatically incorrect
and the rash explains as follows in the
words of the rash
is which means we shouldn't turn out to
be an to shrink Hashem meaning as
follows you're holding an apple in your
hand and you're saying you Hashem who
made the Apple you're you're referring
to our you make the Apple problem is you
might shrink hashm and think he's an
apple maker he's much more than that
he's far bigger than that he's all the
fruit on the ground meaning you have to
you have to extend it you have to make
it more flexible more versatile you
can't shrink him says the rash the at is
going on you him himself the nature of
who he is but you must grow you must
extend it more that's really the
maturity now the maturity here is open
up more don't just Rel limit it to what
you're saying I think that's a very
important point in growing and
understanding the mindset of depth of
comprehension of what you have with the
is one thing that's the at but the the
he at the end opens it up much more says
the rashba you mustn't come out and
Shrink Hashem he's much more than that
and that's the nature of the the change
of the shift from second person to third
person in the that's at and therefore
the at is going on what is going on what
you're making the ban if it's a cookie
if it's a piece of cake or you're
washing whatever it is the action that
you're doing is the at the revealed
action in front of you the hidden part
of it the nister part of it is the end
of the B meaning he's more than what I'm
doing as well and that's the expression
of opening up the mind of being more
broad-minded of who Hashem is and the
nature of the praise that you're
giving
Hashem that is a name of Hashem which we
use we'll come on to a little bit later
but let me tell you at this point just
the intentions that you must have the
word you should think
of we don't say the letters the letters
are and then he and then V and but we
don't say those letters
says in uh in in if we would say those
words that letter you would be over on
from The Ten
Commandments taking the name in vain CU
you don't know what the the mean you're
saying something you ha you don't know
what you're saying and therefore gave
the word of Adas the master
the means the master of all when you're
making a anytime you say the name of you
should think of the says brings it out
in except when you're saying the first
line of sh you should think a little bit
more not just but
also he was he is and he will be a
little bit more than that when your
in the first line of sh you need more
than that to stretch it a bit more but
every time you make a says the and the
like that in
just means the manufacturer the designer
the supervisor the maintenance the
manager of everything the Creator that's
more
Dynamic Hashem is something which is
hidden from us we'll come on to it in a
minute and alenu means the dynamic
Creator everything behind it that the
nature of the words that we're
saying what does it mean that we're
saying at is you and then we're moving
over and we're saying as follows from
youo to he who what is the nature of
saying that we're shifting from you to
he meaning we recognize what Hashem is
but we recognize he's far more than that
he's much much more than that don't just
shrink don't just leave him as he is
with the apple or the orange or the
cookie that you're making that's the
purpose we saying
Hashem is you and he who extends it much
more let me tell you a beautiful mea I
remember hearing from rdon seal what
does it mean to open up and realize that
hasem is the whole Creator the great
Wasa of C
Yesa once walked in a f into a fruit and
vegetable store in ban with a student
with the talid and they stood in the
store and Wasa was standing there with
his student next to him and they waited
the balabis wasn't there at the moment
as they were waiting there a completely
irreligious Jew had no connection
whatsoever to Judaism whatsoever no term
mites he had no no connection at all
came in and stood in the store and he
turned around and he said to
Thea where is the Bal and Thea turned
and said a balab there's no balab and
Whata meant is a balab he's not there
he's not here at the moment the turned
around and said what do you mean and he
said you
m of course there's a balabas here of
course there's a
Bala meaning what he said he's not here
the had thought when you say AAL balab
is not here but he didn't understand it
like that the understood there's no
balab in the store at Alla caught on to
what the man was saying and how he he
answered him back with such and he turn
around and says no and he I explain to
exactly what happened in this store
yesterday there was an explosion in in
the middle of the store and there was a
whole p and there was a cloud and smoke
and over out of the smoke came the
oranges came and sat down over there
potatoes came and sat down over there
the tomatoes over here there was a
sudden explosion and this is what
happened in the store here and therefore
there's no you're right what happened
was everything just happened here man
man
says crazy if you thinka caught him on
that and turn around and said as follows
let me explain to you something I
explain this foolish Theory just in one
store you say the whole world is like
that evolution is like that there was
just an explosion the world just
happened like that don't you realize how
foolish their theory is of course
there's a balab is stood back with his
mouth wide open the T said and gawked at
him and you didn't realize it that's the
nature of it you realize of course
there's a balabas here of course there
is something here there's a balabas here
behind it all and that's really I think
I wanted to bring that my to show you go
from youo to he youo is what you're see
but he who is extending it much more of
course there's a balab in front of you
of course there
is the end of the B the end of the must
mention here is that a comment of the V
the V says as follows meaning we
said let's explain the
whole explains as follows inside every
we have three titles of the
almighty hasem El means our God and what
is the difference between these three
the different three the three different
titles y elu and
and the Von explains as follows if you
followed what we said about the rash
that from you from something which is
revealed to something which is hidden
the same concept really says the when it
comes to the names of Hashem inside
of is beyond our understanding Hashem we
say the word adus we say the word
because we really don't understand at
all that's the hidden part like the rash
says at the end of the so that's a
reason why we must say meaning whoever
he is the creator I don't I don't I
don't understand him all it's beyond my
understanding but at least say that and
recognize that says the V express the
idea that we don't understand completely
and therefore we say adus elu means the
direct creator meaning like the at from
the rashba is in the word elokenu the
dynamic revealed source which I see in
front of me the source is meaning the
Creator he created this apple he created
this orange whatever the I'm eating
whatever the B is going on at the moment
that's ELO
meaning El is something which is dynamic
in front of me that's the nature of it
but one minute Why didn't it
say why did it say elu the difference is
as follows elu means personal this apple
had my address on it when it comes to a
Jew there's something called Divine
supervision hash meaning the address is
written on the Apple whatever you're
enjoying whatever you're making a for
you it's personal and hand delivered to
you it's given to you and that's doesn't
say elu means our God meaning there's an
enormous difference ofh of divine
supervision for a Jew as against the
rest of the world the rest of the world
is me you'll find apples in Spain you'll
find apples in Sweden you'll find apples
in in Australia you'll find Apples
that's me he's the general supplier as
well therefore Hashem is the hidden part
which I don't understand that is like
the end of the B of the rash if you're
with me a little bit long to see say the
elu means the dynamic side in front of
which is present which is revealed which
is like at and is this General supplier
as well and that's what's behind it all
and these are the points which I think
we can grow from hopefully we can lift
ourselves up and mature enormously and
make what's called a with these points
to articulate and be precise and be
passionate with your Bas say it
carefully let me just show you something
I'm going to say a now and as I say the
b I'm going to slip into my mind the
different points which we said I want to
just prove to you it's not necessary to
spend a few minutes are making a if you
say the slowly I as I'm going to say the
you'll see what I mean you can have in
mind all the points which you're
say
hasem
El now I had it all in my mind as I was
it doesn't take too long you can do that
it's not Beyond us it's not something
amid us it's by no means is it something
very Pious you can do that with
I'm not saying every single you can do
that but certainly when like in the
morning or of course one can do that
which is why not say that take a little
bit more time say it precisely open your
mouth open your mouth and articulate and
say the word precisely you'll see I hope
you mature and you'll grow and the Bas
will be far more meaningful to you and
that's the nature of it the ability to
to lift up and that I think is what the
r meant when he's saying the that's the
choice which we have the there is a
force of nature like the said which
comes down but the ability of a is to
send something up and that causes an
enormous change and that is the meaning
I believe in whatman had said when he
said that there's something the comes
down and brings a security and a
protection in times of danger you can
understand why you brought the down just
like does that so does a as well it
brings the down into our local into the
setting that we are you imagine if we
said the B is proper then like we bench
him with such he will come down and send
down from the from the cause of Nature
and protect us and supporters and take
away from all the SS and the
difficulties that we have I hope in
these times of great difficulties this
year has been something practical
something productive and you can walk
away from it and hopefully by making
a we'll be able to grow and a we will
send up enormous welfare and will send
back down to us
shom
in all that we do thank you
