Time of Danger at End of Days - Be Careful With These 3 Things

sh we holding by let's go back a few weeks ago we mentioned the comment which was made by theim he had said that in 1918 that he would said eventually clis will be in a situation a time of great difficulty but from there they will be saved those are the words of the regarding the third war of go Magog we mentioned it several weeks ago we then brought down the comment of had said based on those words of the we must go through the birth pangs of the Mia only a thinking sensitive person we explained that the we the mascal means like the Von mentions at the beginning of mish someone who is sensibly thought out very well thought out he understands s situation he's sensitive to the needs and I who gives him success and means success and that's the meaning of a masculism someone who is alert and sensitive to the times should be quiet and prepare with great preparation maybe such a person will be privileged to see the comfort and the return meaning the of that was a definition which we used and we mentioned last week that perhaps L di one of the greatest masculine one of the greatest sensitive people and with great insight and tremendous wisdom in our time was with our The God Who was n a few years ago just before and I think he was an incredible masc he understood the suu situation he understood people he understood the times he understood the need of clis in different countries that's why he traveled very much abroad at different times he had tremendous understanding and insight and then we brought down we mentioned last last week after an awful pigua an awful terrorist attack which took place in y I think it was the number two bus butan came to Hof and I was living there the at that time and he spoke in a the inway chef on the said as follows in time of danger one should be particularly careful and and be be zores about three three Mitzvah the mitzah are saying and saying 100as a day and those are the mitzvas which which give security and protection in a time of danger those are the words of of in h you might ask what about other mitzah like studying to or or or or keeping shabas those are also great Mitzvah but from his great elevated spiritual vision I'm suggesting specifically said those three mitzah those are the mitzah which in reality their common factor of all of them is they bring the sh down they bring the presence of the almighty down into the situation and the environment where you are that's the greatness of these Mitzvah you are living with the you're bringing him down and we explained last week the enormous power which there is in there lives in a higher world called the world ofos means the very high world where the is and that's the meaning is the highest world of all the world of the world of the and that's where we have that's the source of our life then you go down another level is the world of Bria which is the world of something from nothing like the sun and the planets are created something from nothing and that's where we have on which is our thoughts our minds and everything the rationale which we have in our minds then you go down to the word of Y is one is two Bri and Y we explained last year last week y means the world of something from something else to be form something else like human beings or agriculture or comes something from something else that's the word of and the last is one at the end which is the world of the world of our activity where we live and the nature of the power of the brings down in you bring the down from the enormous Eminence and the source of you bring it down to the world of to the world in which we live in and that's the nature of it brings the down into the location where we are and therefore there's a given protection because is there in the area in the location where you are what I'd like to do this week is discuss the second mitzah which he meant and that was the the great K there is inside of sh and he said also for the same reason as well you bring the down into the location where you are in particular the sh is the center the focus maybe the reservoir of all Kusha in an area the nature of a is it holds all the Kusha of the city all the different homes which are around the center of the is the itself and therefore one must be very careful of the K of the B that is the source of the in a community writes in I think it's he explains one should be very careful how one speaks what one says inside of Bas why because that is the K that is a sort of protection for the community once the sh is protected in that area therefore the whole Community is safe and that was the nature of what B that was the basis behind saying that I'd like to examine that in a little bit more depth and G will give you something like a case study this week what does it mean the Kusha B what is behind it all why is it so important what does it mean bringing the Kusha down into the sh where you live what's the nature of it what's the depth behind it that's the purpose of this year to appreciate and understand the words of this great mascal rman what does he mean that you bring the sh down into the community and especially if you're careful if you have reverence and respect and dignity for the sh in which you live for the fool in your community let's start maybe with uh the words of the no of the Novi the nov brings in in the following words it's actually the of shabas sha before yam when we say it every single year these are the words of the noi come back CL Isel to for you have stumbled with the which you with the the sins which you had done take with yourself words and return back to Hashem say in front of him please forgive any transgression which we have done and let our tongues be in place compensate for the Bulls to what extent and our lips should be the the replacement of the Bulls meaning the bulls with the sacrifices let our lips replace the Bulls the next no other country will save you you can't rely on America you can't r on any other country in the world and any horses which they used to bring in those times from Egypt don't rely on those horses or the weapons and the missiles which you might being from somewhere else don't say that we're relying holy Sol on our own actions on our own on an orphan meaning and these words are really The Words which are the basis of the for the following reason the words rash and both learn out in that sentence it means as follows it's not that instead of the the sacrifices you have the the feel it's not like that it's a direct replica sh means that our which we say are directly instead of the Bulls meaning they make up for the Bulls and rashak both explain in this P that the nature of is you are bringing another a miniature bik into your into your vicinity when you DAV and you have a mock of that D place of daving is a mini a b that's the of it meaning it's not just a matter of since we don't have the sacrifices therefore we D no the nature says Rashi and the Rak of the is that you are bringing bikash into your here you're not just standing somewhere and dabing in a room or in a hall somewhere you're dabing in a means there is a direct compensation from the T for the Bulls for the sacrifices which you make and that's an incredible point which we're making here meaning it's not just we found somewhere to DAV and therefore since we don't have the B mikdash therefore we ding no the place where you DAV says rash is actually the place of the learns out a statement of he says as follows everywhere where clel went in gas whether they went into MIT whether they were in B wherever they were the followed them into the extent that it was it was a small a miniature there and that's the nature says the there that Hashem himself comes back when there's a g the G the itself comes back because the has been with them meaning the mikdash itself has been replaced in different places wherever clo were in Exile that's the nature of it that's remarkable Point here meaning we have some says the G there meaning is there therefore we have to understand appreciate this point the is is a direct replica of the B mikdash that's the extent that we have which is a very powerful and profound thought meaning we have to be very careful of the dignity and respect it's a tremendous privilege to go into the B mikdash it's a tremendous privilege to walk in a Shore that's the nature and that's the mindset which we must have when we consider the point I think that's whatman had meant there ofman had meant when he said that be careful of the K because that's the protection what has happened here you've walked into a miniature bik that's what had meant and therefore it's a very powerful concept here the k b is the K of theik let me prove to you with different TR which I found to explain this point the great in Europe was once asked by a community they wanted to renovate their sh and they wanted to move the Bim from being in the middle to the front near thees and he asked can we move it there in the front and said as follows no it's better if you leave it in the middle why because aul itself is a faimily of the basa mikos in the courtyard of the b mikos in the a in the in the area where they they work in the courtyard the the represented all the sacrifices all the sacrifices were brought and burnt and offered up on the the large altar which was in the middle of the cord since it was in the middle therefore said the so also the bimma represents that we represents the place where all the sacrifices were bought and therefore you should not put it in the front you should leave it in the middle and he B an example from the great sh in Alexandria where they used to wave Flags people couldn't hear thein but they wav them from the Bim which was in the middle of the sh that's the nature of it meaning the of the of the sh is a of the bik and therefore the B should not be at the front by thees but the Bim should be in the middle and that's what you walk around with the lul as well like in the BD when they went around with the with the lul around the base and the coron were offered on top and I remember I used to go and D sometimes with the great in the in in B every morning I noticed he would say the par of Theus meaning the of the car Tom and the other Caron which we say in the morning before Shak he would say those at the Bim from he would read them out from the bimma I wonder if that was the reason why because of that because the beim represents the the altar in the middle of the courtyard and therefore it should stay in the middle that's an example that we see there the son of the the M went even further than that he explained as follows if possible you should try and make 15 Steps going up from outside the sh into the into the actual sh itself like in the B mikdash you had 15 Steps going up from the eim into the courtyard into the aora the same idea as well 15 Steps going up I haven't seen that anywhere maybe in some shes they have steps going up inside the sh but I remember I once went into the great sh of the Bells Bas Med in un I think there are if I can remember rightly 15 Steps going up from outside and you walk into the sh itself that's the idea the idea is you're walking in like the 15 in the courtyard of the B mikd so also you had 15 Steps going up into a sh the same idea the same concept of what his father said the about moving the B you should be careful about that he went further the and said as follows also the place where thein stands is a representation of the was right in front of the and as you realize of course the or KES represents The KES Kim and right in front of there should be the place where thein stands the the where thein stands is a place of like the and he went even further than that and therefore the is like aen God with tremendous responsibility he's looking after the prayers of the community just like the Ken God looked after thees all the service which the people did in clis he's that important and that's the representation it's a replica of the courtyard the is the the place where thein stands is the is the altar where they brought the incense the think a also in in says have a look at the let my prayer be like the incense which was bought meaning the prayer where the hin stands when he davens is like the the the Altar for the incense there and that's the power and the actually is like a god which is incredibly significant Point here that's the nature of it the went even further than that in a beautiful Point has said as follows that thees should protrude out into the sh itself why because if you remember in the temple itself in theim the badim the stays which held the or stuck out and therefore says so also the walls which hold thees should also stick out obviously the saah is a representation of the luas which were in the or it's all together it all makes one scene therefore the scene is an incredible scene you're walking into a that is what meant and then when he said that the went not just the the B mikdash such went and it's a copy of the B mikdash and maybe that's also what Rashi and Rak meant when we said not just that we're daving because we don't have the no it's more than that it means that the actual prayer which we said and the location where we're saying it the Bim in the middle the am the place where the stands is like the the and the The Stave sticking out thees is like the the K and the the sa the whole picture comes together therefore when you walk in all the veneer everything that you see and the furniture and the fittings you walked into a courtyard here you walked into the aor which is a fabulous thought that's the nature of the respect and the dignity when we say The KES K is the Kusha of the Holy Temple itself that's the the point which we're making here and therefore I think that is the ground ing that is the background behind I think whatman had meant of course there is Li and the shabas and other mitz but you understand the point you're bringing the sh down the divine presence is brought into the community itself because you created something like a faximile of the courtyard itself with the steps going up maybe You' had 15 Steps outside but certainly the mindset is a mindset you walking into a mikdash bearing that in mind bab boai I'd like to extrapolate and take you a little bit further [Applause] take the point further if we understand that the kadha theis is really the kadha ofik if we follow that point we who come in and Davin are virtual kohanim no we come in and Davin inside the courtyard which really we're not kohanim but we have the status it's virtually like a CO if that's the case therefore if we are going to follow the point and take it further and recognize the importance and the profundity of a which is a b m we are like Kim ourselves we're coming inside and therefore we must have the same mindset maybe of a if that's the case what I'd like to do is give you three ideas there are Homespun ideas then maybe I with my vivid imagination I thought of these points but I want to develop the point and say when you come in and Dav in a Sho if you're like a Cen coming to do the avoa in the courtyard coming to the service in the courtyard you're coming in on that basis then maybe you should take certain ideas and thoughts develop them out of what a Ken was and therefore from those ideas we can develop the idea of the K SP I agree it's not exactly the Kusa what I'm trying to do is though open your mind to give you an imagination when you walk into you're you walk into a and the is there that's what was saying and was saying in the and that's the words of rash and the it's more than just ding it's ding in a there that's the the point behind it and therefore three Homespun ideas maybe you'll say it's Jewish maybe it's a wild imagination but I don't care I think the point will get in and I think this will bring home the point very much whatman was saying was that the the sh comes down in this basis let's start with the first idea the ramban brings down at the end of the following point which is a fabulous point a beautiful point to understand imagine that you are standing at the top of the steps in the base of the top of the the 15 and you're looking onto the courtyard you see in front of you the the large bronze altar then ahead of you you see the and then the that's the scene in front of you you're facing you're facing the ramban brings down the following point which is the beautiful idea on the right hand side where you're standing you're standing looking you're standing at M and you're facing towards towards the bik towards the on the right hand side underneath the the ground there was something called the Bas H the Bas H was a furnace a fire where the K would sleep at night and in that room they they spent the night every single morning says the ram Before Dawn before the am the Muna who was the manager of the B mikdash he was like the prefect he was the administrative controller of everything that took place in the B mikdash interesting story just the Muna the gor brings down there rambam also mentions this point as well that the Muna the this manager would go around every single night with torches and with guards with him and walk around all the gates of the basa mikdash to check that all the Le were standing in their place if they came to a place and they saw the leevan was sleeping he had permission to beat with sticks the Lev who was sleeping and even torch their garments that says and sometimes a ladyy would scream out if his garments caught fire that's the nature of the the mo was very strict with people that the L shouldn't fought a Ste the Le would stand at the gates at night and watch the the bdas that was their task but the Muna had permission to hit them and also even to torch their garments as well which is an incredible thought this Muna the prefect every single morning the B of mikd he would arrive in the Bas and ask one of the zakim of the Kim there for the key to go into the AAR every night the courtyard was locked he would take the key from the zakin and go up with two teams of Kohan with him walk up to the steps and enter into the AO the Azo was closed at night and two teams they were standing on the North side the north side as they came up into the Azor into the courtyard and the two teams would tour around go around the whole area of the base of the courtyard to check that everything was correct one team I don't know how many were six or seven K it doesn't say the Miss doesn't say how many were with him one team would go up towards the marab and walk all the way around behind The KES and come all the way around on the South Side come back down and come back to the place called the L ltin was the place where they made the 12 loaves of bread for the co godal he would offer six in the morning and six in the afternoon this was the Carin of the co godal every single day six lows of there they were not really lows that each one was a measure of a Kaz a small measure but the co God will bring up it was a place not the and that was changed every shabas but the were 12 loes which were bought six in the morning and six in the afternoon and they would stop the first group the first group would come around and stop at the Lish which was above the 15 steps the second group would come the other way around they would walk backwards towards MRA and come it's a much shorter trip they would just walk along and walk along the mizra and they would meet the first group at the top of the steps the 15 Steps their job was as follows to check that everything was in order and the AAR there were no animals there no insects around everything was clean all the Kaling were in place in position they would check and see that everything was right as soon as that was done then the uh truma uh uh the Trum the the ashes were cleaned up from this that was the first task which was done on the on the the large alar inside in the middle of the b m there's a courtyard there inside the courtyard but then the Muna would turn around to each group and say as follows shom H shom if everything is shom everything is hak shom and the first group would say everything is in order because they had gone one way round up through the marav and come round by the south and come to the stop there the other group a much shorter trip they would arrive the the second group would aride there much quicker they would wait there they would turn around and say to each other Shalom H Shalom and then that was the sign to start the the co would Mount the in the middle and clean up the ashes on the side what does it mean shom shalom in me in the B Mikes I suppose everything was clean and tidy everything no animals was there no dirt was there everything was ready to start the avoa but ra say let's go a little bit further and here's my imagination which is really running along the word Shalom as you know is another name for the almighty the gar brings down in the gar in shabas that which names of the almighty are you not allowed to use in the bathroom of course and Hashem you can't use could you use the word me could you say the word could you say in the b in the bathroom and the gar comes down to the conclusion and says as follows any other word you could use but you can't use the word Shalom why Shalom is actually the name of Hashem Shalom is his name meaning when you say the word shalom shalom the M says there in the when you make Shalom say shom say shom when you have shom there it is the presence of the shom means the existence of the that the divine presence is there in that location there that's the meaning of Shalom and therefore of course we come to a new meaning what Shalom Bas means Shalom Bas doesn't just mean that a couple agree not to shout at each other scream at each other or to smile at each other sh means much more than that sh means the divine presence is between them and therefore what does it mean I'm suggesting maybe in a bit of J but it's a bit Homespun the idea was follows shom sh that the divine presence is there but it means there's peace and there's tranquility and there's respect there that's what I'm saying there between a couple if you have the sh you have the dignity and respect of one person to another and saying the word shalom in the bathroom because it's not the place cuz that is his presence maybe I'd like to suggest as follows can you imagine every single morning before we started ding Shak every morning the Gabi would stand in sh and say Bo say shalom shalom and then we start daving no no complaints no no disrespect no arguments no ESS no hack no no strict feeling everything would just be aabus can you imagine the type of filler there would be everybody in sh would feel tremendous unity and Harmony between each the Unison of the community if we would say in the Sho like in the b mikdash in the Courtyard the Muna would call out Shalom H Shalom we would do that also in a sh Shalom H everybody who's daving here in this meeting loves each other has care for each other no one has any complaint against each other we're all coming together with great simp to talk to the almighty can you imagine the effect that would be not just that the sh is clean and tidy like the AAR like the cour but more than that that there's a presence of warmth and friendship and acceptance of everybody else and ab shom shom I'm suggesting that would promote tremendous the B that we're coming together to talk to the Almighty I don't know under those circumstances maybe the would stand at the door and welcome as or please come into my home say and please D towards me when the respect and and no no arguments no what a beautiful idea that would be it's so I agree with you but that would promote tremendous K that's the first thought that I had and that would be perhaps the idea behind being in the down if there is peace and H Harmony between people then certainly the is there and maybe that's the point which was bringing out here once you have that feeling of shom Shalom we can suggest that you have something for the presence of the divine presence there and that's the nature of the quality of Harmony between AB of people getting on what a beautiful thought that would be that's the first idea which I had it's a mindset of a but it's taken from the courtyard of the B mikash the second idea which I had which I thought of is another of the r the ramban brings out in's B the following idea is follows as you probably know there were three Bim there were three courts which were in the haab the first one was outside the esus nashim made of a 23 diim and the second one was inside the esus nashim also made of 23 who sat in a semicircle then if you go up the steps the 15 Steps of shalas on the right hand side at the very end there is a chamber called the Lish hais the Lish hais is the chamber where the saned haa sat 71 Dion of the great San 71 of the greatest most eminent in at the time they sat at the end they sat in in a semicircle in the in the b in the B mikd it was called theis part of it was outside and part of it was inside the the actual itself it was strategically put in that place so the co God could go in there and talk to the Sanhedrin as well but the rambon brings out an interesting point he says as follows the main task of the Sanhedrin G was as follows of the 71 was to test and to examine and investigate every who came to do the a in the B mik says the r there it's a mish actually in mid there they would examine and investigate every what's where's your Yas where do you come from what's your background if he has any tumor on him they would inspect him physically to see if there's no M on him if there's no blemish on him if he was able to serve if he was not shika if he's arms and his legs and his eyes everything was correct the main task says the r of the Bas was to check a to see if he's correct and he's able to work in the AV in the bik if he's able to serve in the B mikdash that was the main task to check his background if he knows if at any time he had ever worshiped a even accidentally he would be pul from the avoda at any time if he made sure that his hands were washed all the denim of kunun and T and Kusha which the co needed they would check that out the Bas in what happens after that RAB say then they change the garments if the coin was found to be pel he wear black if he was suitable and and available to S to that to work on in the avoa then he wore white and other was the garments depended you could see what type of person he was and the the ramban brings out a beautiful Point afterwards if on one particular day all the Kim who were came in to work in the a all found suitable in kosha they would make a mish and aim in the B of M why because all the was suitable to come and work in the what a beautiful thought meaning all the K was suitable and available and correct and they were CAU to work in the and therefore you have a let's say he's wearing white and now he's been inspected he's ready to work in the ab the mikd let's take it a bit further what happens from there AB say from there he moves in and does the AV whatever task he's given according to the lottery which is made by the Muna every task which they did during the day the Caron toid or the washing of the hands or the cleaning of the be whatever the tasks were sprinkling the blood whatever the the task was he was now on his way but he had to have tremendous integrity and tremendous responsibility that's the point I like to bring even though somebody was found to be suitable from then on he's on his own and we trust him implicitly implicitly to make sure that his cavana his intention is correct the work that he's doing if he's doing it honestly if he's doing it with the right sincerity supposing he's bringing a carn for somebody and he's thinking of that person not thinking of somebody else his mind is not distracted obviously the tests of the Coen are far far greater than our own but I'm thinking as follows when we come into a sh imagine I suppose we're virtual Coen but we're suitable we're a CO koser we're suitable to come in but then what happens then it's up to our own Integrity to stand there and Dav with us the best possible task that we can in the best possible way with the maximum devotion and passion that we can in our prayer a coing on the Bas of even though he was inspected and found to be suitable nevertheless from then on it's on his he's on his own and we trust him implicitly to make sure that the blood is sprinkled in the right place that the animal is shafted in the right PL that whatever task is done that is done correctly I'm suggesting as follows also by ourselves when we come in a DAV we imagine we are like a c koser somebody who's suitable to come not wearing white but certainly the apprec the understanding is that we're suitable to come and stand there we're not shik we're not whatever the the problems are we come in and we're suitable to to work from then on we're by ourselves we have to be responsible and integrity that our prayers are said in the correct way just like a CO and that they trust him so also we are to be trusted with our prayers as well one has to be honest and integrity for themsel as well I'm suggesting where do we learn that from I think maybe we can suggest we learn it from the beautiful story of khah do you remember when KH came up to the mishan in the Tabernacle in Shilo and she didn't have a child and her the other wife panina did have a child and she was very broken and she would DAV there and for a child and she said the word the word your handmade three times to to remember your handmaid she said the word inside the word is the word meaning that there are what's called sayaz three death checks which a woman is checked out at the time when we inspect her to see if she's suitable if she's correct or not meaning said I passed all three death checks I was also I was respons responsible for my I was careful about she said the three times came forward and said I was responsible I had full Integrity for these three mitzah which I'm obligated to do with the best of my ability I'm I'm I'm careful I was careful with my I was careful with I was careful with and that's the meaning the Integrity which Hanah showed and therefore Ten Ben give me a child because of that meaning I'm suitable I I passed the test I think that's the meaning behind it there are different Halas which are brought out a person should be very careful meaning if you're tongue is not full of of of of if you're not talking and then you askem so there's something called a TOA on your tongue a person asks for great Panos but in the end he's holding Wiis or he's holding G property which he shouldn't have there has to be Integrity in the pair I'm suggesting as follows the idea of Integrity is crucial inside the avoa of our prayer and that promotes also the k the Bas like the Kain after he was passed the test and they found and he found he was suitable to work so also ourselves as well when we come into a sh there must be Integrity in our prayers that we are we are accurate we are devoted we are honest we are genuine in our prayers which we saying I'm capable of asking for Panos because I'm careful of mitzvas of of Money Matters I'm I'm asking for this whatever I'm asking for do I have the right to ask it meaning am I suitable to ask am I correct in it are your man and say so everybody has faults everybody has AAS and therefore the only person who can be accepted in his prayer is no no we're not saying that is close to everybody so long as it's a a a call with sincerity and devotion but you get the point which I'm trying to make here like a coin was tested to see if it was valid after after he was tested he came in and D he has to have integrity so also we do do with our prayers as well without that perhaps I don't know if our prayers will be accepted and I think that also promotes the idea of Kes I'm coming in I'm genuine I'm honest I'm sincere I'm meaningful and therefore I passed the test like KH said I passed a test in these three Mitzvah therefore 10 Ben give me a child so also I think we must do the same thing as well with our own prayers a certain Integrity like the K had to have integrity suggesting we also should have integrity in our prayers as well that's the idea behind it I remember this point came home to me at personal incident that happened to my wife and I several years ago we were doing renovations in our apartment when we lived in h nor and a friend of ours suggested you should take a certain architect and they said he's very very good he's very capable meet him and see and I we met him and he was a 100% a person had no connection whatsoever with anything to do with religion at toe and mitz nothing at all nothing at all he had no connection and I didn't really want to take him I really preferred to take somebody who kept shabas who kept Mitzvah and my friend turned man to me and said to me you should take him I said I prefer not he said take him it's worthwh he said you're in and try him out and I I reluctantly took him and I was I regretted it afterwards he had no connection whatsoever to it and he really in some ways or so he he was anti in some ways I remember he turned around to me this particular person and said to me as follows he said you know the best day of the calendar for me is yam Kiper I take my dog and drive down to the beach on yam Kiper and the beaches are empty and i r along the beach with my dog on Y what are you telling me that for he was trying to bub me up he was trying he told me he said Friday night is wonderful I go and buy my kalas from angels and I sit and watch a movie on Friday night why did you tell me these things are the things which he told me and upset me terribly I but we took him and that was went on I actually I tried myself to try and work on him maybe it to be M him I thought maybe maybe he never had a chance to learn to I remember once or twice I turned M to him and said to him you know a maybe you never ever had a chance to learn a bit of to perhaps if you'd like to learn I didn't get very far than that he said yis keep off leave off I'm not interested he made it perfectly clear keep away don't try and bring me closer he was anti all the way we took him and his work was awful we didn't like the work that he did and this it went on like this what happened was one particular day this arier turned up at the door and he looked like thunder he was Furious I could see he was a Broken Man completely I said AR what's happened come in come and sit down he sat down at the table I said what's wrong you look terrible you look miserable he said yes I have the most terrible news to tell you I said what is it what's so terrible he said to me as follows these are his words R say he said to me this morning I spoke to my daughter who lives in Texas she called me up and she said to me she's getting married I said wonderful who is the who is the the the H he he turn said she's marrying a a non-jew in Texas I'm broken because that she's marrying a non-jew and I I said no so what's wrong with that let's hear let's hear let's hear from him I ask him and he screamed at me he said yo what are you doing what are you say marrying a non-jew is the worst thing I said why why I put him on the test I said why is this hotel and he turned around and said the following words to me this was his comment I thought talk about integrity he said as followers you don't understand when I came to live in Israel with my wife I wanted to be like an Abraham I wanted to bring all my family here and we all settle in Israel as a Jewish people living in Israel not so much Jewish but Israelis I wanted to be Israeli here I thought to myself goodness me a little about he acts like Zim when he wants to be water P you can't do that there's no Integrity he wants to be like an Aon but you have to act like an ABR I thought to myself and it made the point so sharp to me this point I think that's the idea the Integrity behind a person a person would like to have be like an Abraham but in order to be like an Abraham you have to also act like an Abraham as well with the to and mites behind you it's a point I remember a case which I made tremendous tremendous sense to me and made an tremendous impression on me that's the second point the second point is the co coming in after he was found to be valid and capable of doing the work he had to have integrity in his I'm suggesting the kha the B also so with us depends on that as well the first one is sh sh the second is the Integrity the third one is really a from the no the Novi brings down in peric 46 in the nov the following point when you come up to the B mikos the entrance that you go in you shouldn't go out the same way you should try and go out in a different exit go in one way and go out another door and the reason isz in has a beautiful MIM on it called Midas High stalos meaning it shouldn't be too familiar it shouldn't be habitual to you the walls of the bid should not be like the walls of your house you go in one door and out and everything is familiar everything is known everything is regular it shouldn't be like that there should be a certain freshness a certain renewal a certain idea this is new to me so that the basam shouldn't appear to you as being something which is oh I know my way around it shouldn't be it should be not be familiar to it should be an excitement it should be something new like a Cen I suppose who came to do the a Bas of he maybe would come once a year if he would come once a year and who knows if he had a chance to be on the Ava there was a lottery for every job which we which was done there as I mentioned previously meaning this has to be a certain freshness a certain Vitality a certain newness enthusiasm for it when you come into the sh maybe there's something like a problem called Deja I've been here before I know everything I know where everybody sits I know my seat it's all the same and that's a tremendous problem in in in ding as well R desla writes Ino one of the greatest challenges we have in daving is saying the same words over and over again and yet saying them with passion and devotion even though you know the the the the meaning of the words and you see them all but to say them with with a newness with a freshness to them and that I think is really the language of the Nish know if you can say the words and that's really the test if you can say the words with Vitality even though you know them and that's I think the point which the the nature of the going in and going out of a different entrance if you can the writes in the h space if you can you should should do the same with the bases but very often it's not the same certainly when the door is by the m and you're coming into and you're coming in there's one door going in and one going out but if it's possible says try and go out a different way for the same point meaning the floor of a sh is like the floor of the courtyard you should try and go in a different way and out of a different way and explains as follows what's the reasoning behind it where did it come from and he says that was one of the reasons why clis made the golden Cal the AEL they made the gold because the was in the it was all familiar to them make for us a god mean they had Hashem there they had it right in front of them they were too familiar with it and that's one of the reasons why M took his tent he moved his tent away so it shouldn't be so familiar he moved it away says that's a problem the problem is familiarity even though we go into the sh very often and we know everything and we know where everybody is where everybody stands in every seat everything it shouldn't be like that it should try and be like going in and going out of a different entrance that was one of the challenges which I think a had in the B mikdash and that's our challenge as well and therefore one of the ways that we can promote K as says I think in this way to try and have a freshness try and have a newness it should be something a Vitality should something exciting something new to us coming into you're coming into a mik place where the is as that's what ises the POS says said says in I was sleeping but my heart is awake says the med on that I was sleeping in the B mikd but my heart is awake in the shoes that you have says the medas there meaning even though I'm sleeping in the BD you don't see me but I'm alert and I'm awake inside of bik his presence is there his company is there and therefore when we come in we must feel that how do you overcome that challenge how can you possibly keep the excitement and the freshness I think there's only one particular way and that is preparation prepare for coming into a Sho you have to to know how to walk into a sh and that's a crucial point if you have that then you can retain the freshness of the new let me explain the following way before you come to Lea you prepare for Lea the excitement comes because it's new for you it's new for you but you prepared for it you prepare for the whole month of is coming into the preparation before keeps the keeps the Vitality keeps the freshness of it and therefore I think the same way as well you must prepared to walk into a room how do you do that I think in the following way you should be aware that before you walk into a sh there is something called an entrance Lobby which you come into as you come in if you look in the S there are five sentences that should be said outside the sh before you walk in as you walk in said I will walk in with your kindness I walk into your house you walk and take three steps and bow towards thees and bow in in front of the that bowing is the respect meaning and then you say the rest of these sentences these five sentences the five sentences are the entrance into a sh and once you have that that's a preparation you not walk in but standing outside and walk in in a certain way and as you take three steps say the words I with great your great kindness have come into your your San into your home there is a principle which is brought down in the the heart follows the physical actions meaning if a person holds himself a certain way then the heart is influenced by the actions that you do think of it a minute if you walk into a Shore and you say the posic outside you walk in three steps and bow down to the unle that physical action of bearing down it creates a certain awareness and a reverence and a respect and a dignity for the sh that you walked in into if you can try and maintain the physical actions of this that will promote a heart and it will maintain this freshness which you have in your mind the reverence for the place that you walked into I think that's the point if you can do that then you can maintain this avoid this Deja I've been here before the physical actions of how you walk in are very important there is a certain depth behind this as well if you look at these five sentences there are 42 words in these five sentences if you know the number 42 is also the number of the almighty one of his names has 42 letters to it 42 is a launch is a launch into a different level of kadha you walked from the street into a b mikdash into a small Sanctuary a small B mikdash 42 is a launch it lifts you up if you remember CL Isel when they left MIT when they left rames and they came to gilgal there were 42 stations it lifted them up they were ready to enter into Isel the preparation for coming into ET Isel was 42 stations and kazal use these 42 the number 42 very frequently inside the davening it's always a launch 42 LIF the 42 words before you come in outside the shore to come into a Shore are the launch to come into a place of a mik a small Sanctuary a small base of mikdash we explaining here in the middle of Theus we have the prayer which 42 words are used which represent the 42 stations the caranas are lifted up are launched into a new realm of K behind it that's the idea of the 42 stations there the 42 words in Kadesh has 42 words in it also inside kades it's a launch you go from one level of prayer from theas into PMA which is a higher realm zimma begins with a a base and end with base and a member 42 the 42 there begins with the first has 42 words 42 is a launch it lifts you up you're going to this into this of sanctuary K of of K here that's when you're standing in front of and the last POS is has 42 letters in it meaning you're coming out of it you move on from one stage to another and that's the power behind it if you can do that you can avoid the deja VI you can avoid the feeling of I've seen it all and I've been here before and that's the third mindset which I wanted to suggest a coin in the base of M maybe didn't have such problems we have bigger problems a coin coming in once a year maybe however he might he'll come in he had tremendous enthusiasm and tremendous freshness we have a problem with that if we can take this point and our actions should reflect on our heart we can grow tremendously in this point and these are the three points which i' like to bring out it's a mindset of a virtual Coen I'm suggesting sh meaning like the the when the Muna went round and he checked and the floor was clean so also with ourselves if we can come in with tremendous love and harmony with all the people we're dabing with that the sh represents the representation of that the second is to have integrity behind it all meaning the K when he does the work he's by himself we also even though we're caued to come inav the certain responsibility and sense of feeling of responsibility when we come in and D it's up to us what we make it like the Co in the a as well and the third point which I'm suggesting is the co a virtual K also has this enthusiasm and freshness when he comes in according to that's the m hlos the feeling of familiar it shouldn't be too familiar to you and th these are the three points which I was thinking it's a mindset that homesman but I think these are the points which I like to suggest which maybe develop the feeling of Kes which is whatman had said if you can follow these three points then the is amongst you there and that's the protection which you have you mentioned in the time of danger the kadha the B has tremendous Kusha and the Protection security that it has in the area but perhaps by so we can take it even further this idea of living with the I'd like to share with you a point which I remember once hearing from the great of G he once made a beautiful Point what does it mean living with a what does it mean that is amongst you he mentioned as follows it's a it's a hint as you know in the to thereat is a simple meaning is a hint is a medish and so is a secret but it's a rem it's a rem but it's a beautiful remes in the mishan in the Tabernacle which they made in the in the in the wilderness in the midbar there were 42 beams which made up the mishan 42 beams rent around all together the gatria of 42 is me which is the m which is the brain me is the brain meaning is and the Brain 48 48 48 represents the the 48 beams and and the gatri of it is me if you look carefully that the where is the is inside the but take it further what does the brain look like the brain looks something like this two sides facing each other isn't that really the to the facing meaning where is is inside me not just not just in in the object of the which I can I myself hold the inside my mind meaning the 48 beams which represent Mo 48 that's what's what my my mind is like that my mind looks the brain looks like two sides of it like the kin I'm suggesting so it's a beautiful REM the is really amongst us and living amongst us if you follow that point it's more than just on the floor of the base of the sh more than just the cord it's in our minds as well where we live there maybe that's the beautiful reason behind the beautiful song it's a poem a po poem by he said as follows it's a beautiful song which means in my heart I will build a tabernacle to honor your his Holiness his his his his cover in the which I will put I will respect his majesty and Tom I will take for me with a fire which is burning and I will offer myself it's my NE which I'm bringing here most beautiful words again it's inside me and I will take for myself a permanent light where is the fire which burns where are my own soul itself I will act with so it's not just say we're saying like rash in theak mentioned it's the flaw itself it's more than just compensating it's a bik and the bik we are like virtual Kohan when we come in to the B mikdash it's more than that according to this here that I myself am a representation of of the of the and that's the meaning of those in them and that's and say therefore we can suggest as follows meaning what had said that security is brought by the of living with if you're living with that is the greatest protection you have he's there with you and therefore in times of danger we should be aware living with the if you have it in your mind if you're thinking in my mind really the Mish is there then certainly I myself will hold the we should be spared from danger Andor only a Mas at such a time I've given you RAB a great deal to think about meaning maybe all this preparation that we have we should
