good evening everybody we are in hey that is new tirana me chapter 11 verse 26 on the sheets you turn it over one time and half way down it says actually it says 27 so we are on chapter 11 verse 27 I'll read the first row first broke up I read the first verse anyway see which is ray and no fee no tane live in hm hi young broke Lola I present before you today at a blessing and a curse okay our verse the blessing that you listen to the commandment of a sham your God that I command you today and the curse 328 if you do not listen to the commandments of the Shangri Doug and you stray from the path that I command you today to follow the gods of others that you did not know at abraha kshitij whoo elle m'a throat hashem LPFM a share documents ave s kem heyo and then 28 Chloe in love Tish mahu el metodo sure you can thus are 10 min Adela fashion documents of it can I own the lake it after a lil him appearing shallow you doctor so the CLE car begins by focusing our attention it says esna Brava I share tissue who write and the Bravo the blessing that you listen to the commandments of a sham your God the coma compsci his cure his Mia he's telling us as if he is a concordance every place that every time any place that schmear schmear that listening is mentioned in to knock or at least let's say the first five books yesh after ah you always find after it ASEA who schmira or a voda you'll find some kind of action following the listening listen and do listen and guard listen and serve there's some kind of an action that is a follow through to the listening and he gives two examples one is earlier on in dog Deuteronomy chapter seven verse 12 you want to look well hire a catfish my own right and if you listen that was as we said eight head was the fuking but to miss Botti and you guard them and did you do them that those words guarding and doing a pier right there and another place in our chapter verse 13 that means 11 13 if you look earlier it said volume samoa right we see this in the Shema and it will be if you listen or if you surely listen love the Pope about them and you serve a sham with your whole heart you see that after the word hashmi ax or any kind of schmear of listening there is a follow-through with the concept of an action now he begins with the whole basis for our discussion tonight Letitia hush Mia ain't booked in Kabul suvari of my shovel avadh what is listening listening like you say shema rail listen to intro we want to basically be saying understand is you're listening when when you hear something someone's talking doing you're nodding your head you're basically saying I understand yes I'm listening listening means understanding so it has to do something with what's going in between on in between these two organs right your two ears there's something let's say collect it's absorbing it it's recording it it's trying to decipher it the information and it's thinking about it listening means thinking about listen Israel think about this I am the wood your God right and there's no other okay so we're going on to this idea that the idea of listening is all that it is is a thinking alone that's all it's a receiving it saying okay I hear you're mad mitzvahs I hear them and I'm willing to do that but I didn't do anything yet I just am willing to Chicago all of lesotho that I'm willing and I'm accepting to do that but I didn't do any action it's just the thinking of amico Macomb ain't I bizet you have to agree anybody listening to this nose that's really not enough just to think about it just to even pledge you lay in a is a opportunity to give lots of money to a charity so you make a pledge is that enough that's we're follow through okay so it's not enough and let's sorry god I see it befo L what you need to do is to follow through there has to be some kind of action to bring it into fruition chicane and mark that's how we understand now we're about to say when it comes to the club if you read in verse 28 you saw that there was an action and you stray from the path right and the cursor you can do not listen to the commandments of Shem your God and you stray from the path there's actually an action mentioned in that verse but by the cursed by by book by the blessing there was a lack of any statement of action so even though we say normally when you talk about listening there's always a follow through with action and our verse there is no follow through with action now look at the verses vilela mot shmoo right and the curse if you don't listen the third time in a debtor and you remove yourself from the path you go off the off the off the derech in pain kasha if that's the case then we certainly have a very legitimate question here is question however Loma shouldn't have said it's certainly logic demands that it would have said at the bra I share fish move right the blessing which you will listen my lifetime Derek and you follow the path you walk on the path that's an action and it doesn't say any action ISM and mention any action and the only reason you picked those words because that would have been consistent with removing yourself in the negative sense for the claw of the curse for the positive rough that would have said or should have said and you went on the path you followed through with an action the ph died wish me love odd below us yeah this is a rhetorical question is it really enough in the listening alone without any action and this is as I mentioned this first paragraph is really going to be the basis for tonight's discussion so this is this is a vent / like I say that as long as you think about doing an art they don't do it he still gets comics have no it's when you want to do it something prevent you from doing it then you get credit as if he did it that's for sure now we're going to say I'm going to give it away is that what's the Brooklyn you get for having good thoughts ready a guy's turn into this just for having good thoughts I actually connect with God and he assists me to follow through and that will be proven shortly he named Saul 9f huh behold raise your eyes to the heavens hooray Masha capaz new llamala but parshas leprechaun and see what i wrote earlier in partials left to hide this is such a fundamental concept imagine amar now I want you to look at Genesis 12 verse 3 this is the famous verse i read in English you know I don't have a year I will bless those who bless you and those who curse you i will curse so Hebrew the AA raha tha otha hoe God is saying first and I put a comma there for reason I will bless those who bless you I god I'm already blessing you I moms like I god I'm already blessing those I will bless those that bless you but God knows whatever consumed the future so I'm blessing those who bless you when it comes to the curse it says and those that curse you our curse it's not symmetrical that people have to curse first forgot to Kirsten where's by the blessing God's already blessing before the person takes the action this is like a slam dunk proof that what we had just said then this is how he's introducing it therefore she look hot hit the Emir caught totally me barking that's why he prefaced he put first his blessing to those going to bless you why the FEMA shove a toughie because when it comes to good thoughts Mollica mulatto to kiva saw then whenever this phrase is used ma la illaha to its like the verse becomes your life it's the verse is being placed upon you that's a famous phrase of use a lot of times just thinking the good thought of blessing God bless you because the good thoughts are loved it's as if you're living that verse about my shovel robber when it comes to negative or evil thoughts in accordance parfum it sorrowful of my set Hashem does not make that connection between the thought and the action when its positives and I don't have works electricity I'm not sure there's any kind of there I know there's positives and negatives what comes to like batteries but anyway every male my family is electrician I know there's positive and negatives but anyway so you have these two positives for some reason Hashem is with sorry he'll malish combine them but when it comes to a negative it doesn't work doesn't connect it actually has to be a fulfillment a full fulfillment or follow through the negative action for that curse to then take place well the feezy a doll or eggs are mere kaan now according to this everything he just said we don't really need to go to detail because that was talked about the parsha slacker okay PL all of our they look Tahu rakesh alota Schmo but get this straight that the curse certainly does not apply there's no application of the curse until after you didn't listen so the list of the not listening alone is not enough but once you right let's read again the crawler certainly does not fly until after you didn't listen and what does that mean and she's about to say they're not listening or this facilities it's not look it's not that the not listening is enough it's what he's about to say and you removed yourself from the direct monish the Sark them in adair acknowledged let's go back to me that again that the chloe is not going to apply just because you didn't listen but because you also did the follow through action of moves leaving the way acting in a way you're not supposed to so if you had a thought to leave the way but you never followed through something preventing you you do not you not held accountable as if you did it right let's say you want to rob a back you plan it out and then you don't rob the bank for whatever reason the car broke down someone else robbed the bank you come in there with you ever see those movies the guys come in there's already somebody standing there hop into bed so you run out you just robbed the bank you're not a criminal in God's eyes you do you have us say you want to do something positive you want to help us old lady across the street and someone else grabs her first and crosses the street with her it's as if you did it because you wanted to it something prevented you from doing it okay that work for budgets with other could you wait two lines to ask my question you know that it doesn't well I shouldn't say that let's say it has to if you really wanted to in subject romantic you let's say you had every intent to follow through you had the money in the bank and then let's just say the stock scratch the bank runs close you couldn't put up if something prevented you from following through the hosp yes above abraca to fool me odd actress Mila body but the blessing becomes applicable just after the listening alone member the listening is just about shabbos the thought process today this is the most important line of this paragraph kadesha Kabbalah a brothel yellow laser surely Loschiavo lo Ho Chi Minh o'clock at makaha toba Isaiah ceric ammonium why is the brother already applicable amelie after the willingness to do it even though you didn't follow through because that brother is now coming God's giving you brother brought that means like this intimate relationship with God when you're connecting with the source and he's giving you influence haha in order that you should receive this blessing that he will be there to help you to be to help you fulfill your potential of what you originally had in mind this good thought in mind and how is it done through removing the obstacles Hashem that helps you how does he help you by removing the obstacles that's the brother that is already in place that amazing so it's not simple like you know watch your hands three times I just want to know this my beauty balm is intense does this have any cover lipstick thing to it everything does but ok maybe never ate a little bit on ya call it on the top book emanation I'm going to try not to hear something really not next others that emanation I should like the highest level like the whole world exists who's emanating thoughts of God so emanations like the highest the most powerful thing so we could really keep art works emanating from us and it is pure look at the day we think about during the day is going to help us with the brothel it says it's an idea anywhere you make fences about through duck / erica means not just it was a relations but things not supposed making this okay when you put fences towards nakedness around making this could be modestly the bathroom that could be how you walk down the street when you look at how you look at that remember the first class is free and then that after that pic heart so basically it says that through wherever you find this fence which era that's when you find kedusha so offense is it get yeah but it's also the word convulsions separate so by building the fetish separating yourself Kadosh means separate distinct so when you build that fence when I say offense you're talking about it werder people have orders right don't get too close to a woman you know physically so you build these borders for yourself when you're building is holiness kedusha and this is going to help you and your thoughts what's going to emanate veggie garden your eyes what's wrong with where your eyes go because we what you see is them if you think about it so if you need to guard your thoughts we talked about lush and how you talk nothing wrong talking but choose what you're talking about wisely so I think this is how we know we're going to receive a Bravo when we make these fences for ourselves fences create kedusha and it could be like say that the Jewish people should 12 below we're distinct peculiar people we are unique one separate and that's the holiness we talked about separateness chocolate holiness and is there any further kabbalistic ID behind it like I heard this before of course in a bad way after shabbos hopped along you readers but what the Kabbalistic principle behind this fancy like if you go deeper what you just said it was a very profound but if you go even deeper than where we're just touch something i don't know we like to look it up their heart my omartian mr I share this riddle notice the words when it says about the blessing it says which you listen to the blessing that you listen to it's almost a guaranteed thing ishares use that which you listen to the brother is which you listen to when it comes to the closer look what it says it says that the curse if you don't listen it's not consistent there's a inconsistency it's not symmetrical when it comes to the rough use the words I share when it comes to the claw law when it comes to the curses even if so why is that any guesses here any idea because the chef helps you to do this for look the next four words five where it says it the conveyor and show you straight arm again because God is giving honor to the Jewish people by saying such a thing is it God's words it's like you know you have a person and you talk to them and you know that there are committed and they're responsible so you say like you know when you get around to doing it but let's say you want to give make another hand to cut you know you're talking about taking out the garbage to your kids it's not a matter of when if you want to cut them which you shouldn't but if you want to insult somebody you see if you know if you have it around so when you get wet which you will do it's a guaranteed thing so the person has confidence in you and he's building you up that if you say if now this is a negative so if it would come about that means it's a possibility it's just opening up the idea of the possibility that you won't might not listen so listening for sure you're going to do not listening you might do so why did God say that for the honor of Israel he will ain't none for shuman bane of shallow yashima o lo you Cobb blue lay in los altos a Shama p will be boxed up at least when it came to the thought process listening memory we squarely put across the idea of listening in the thought arena okay so when it comes to thinking about it God is saying I have no doubt I don't suspect you for one moment that you're not going to listen and therefore right by not listening you're not accepting to do the mistress of God of course you're going to listen why because it's only mashallah it's only thought and cooley high low picaud for Picard for sure just thinking about the Jewish people are not going to throw that kind of yolk off it's not so hard we'll miss Tom McCall these nice rally up akasha loss of the business because the general concept is that most likely every you will consider to do the will of God came up shove a color mode because thoughts alone are very easy however when it comes to the action after by sia hi I'm a super BAM when it comes to the follow-through okay then there's an opening for doubt you'll I pick buy a vowel am Mia thrush loom Asiata perhaps the work will become overwhelming and difficult here he uses the word heavy and they will become lacks or negligent in the follow-through lazy lahav armor that's why it says etta bracha I share to shamu regarding the blessing which you will listen to come when it comes to listening we have no doubt Kia Dottie bhagavati shmoo who's cobbled about Pam la SOTA God saying I know with absolute certainty that you will listen and you will accept upon yourselves within your hearts to do that Vaz yesh lach hashemi Sabratha and then a sham sends the Bravo and I think this is really the key on how we know that the Jewish people are blessed because as a nation I have no doubt that we all have good intent Kenisha on your dog you saw a meme can call a mining shimmy ba hoots was it mean that hashem knows that we're going to do we're going to accept this in her heart then he's going to send the blessing and again he stresses what's the blessing that threw it to the blessing becomes removed from us all of those impediments all of those things are preventing us from doing it at least externally shimmy buckles the two hula Heidi mashallah Ella poet and then we're capable able to bring forth what we have in our minds into action ki hug mhmm I feel what happens is man or our job is to begin it's not upon us to finish it right as perky I'll vote says and a sham is y ignore all of the Shem is the one who finishes it I want you to look to Psalms 57 verse 3 it says I call upon God most high so the God who fulfills for me in Hebrew its gig more who feel builds for me really means here who is Gamora line you're talking about who finishes for me I'm the one who starts it but a Shem through his blessing assists me and I would consider that the the blessing of God that he finishes this for us the hafnium are now we understand what it says s huh Bravo what's the word s mean you look at a dictionary it can mean and it can mean there's give me that it has a million definitions because it has no definition it's like filler and of course we know that the Gomorrah explains that Rebecca and some of his colleagues they went out of their way every olive tough in the Torah they went and tried to explain so this SS a proper cold as Lara bows boy it always comes to add something question is what comes to add something key a brothel boldly Ramos Hamas the shuffle of all your dog that the Brooklyn actually comes to add and increase the action that's capable of coming through the brothel about the crawler when it comes to the curse nanmar Russian in it uses olive man why on account of Bob orvis art them in a derrick the if is not really going on the listening per se but it's going on the action it comes after the listener or the the lack of listening which is you will remove we have removed yourself from the way and that's an action that only comes after that is set after lodish mallu right Lotus really English row and then later on it talks about this action keep busy I'm a su pop in yellow because the eve is going on the action we don't know if you actually will do it or not okay not listening we don't expect but if you follow through that reflects back that you weren't listening but it's the action that makes all the difference as we said in the beginning ki awfully yolks you thrash loop fol because what can happen you become negligent in fulfillment of you the action you may not even if you have a bad you want to rob the bank you may not rob the back in the end you may wake up leg heel or might not go up whatever may happen may happen keyless are commanded Eric now we understand what it says and you remove yourself in the way that is actually explaining on what we said earlier about not listening Shana qivana bush me above my shovel Avadh it's not talking its intent when it says don't you weren't listening it wasn't talking about only listening and thought alone but the schmear but rather the schmear there is anything a seer it's only the listening anak shabba that includes with an action that's when a claw comes into reality is only when you have the fulfillment god forbid of the negative action the thought alone is not enough
