sheets you can email me and I'll add you to the list it's only those select few who desire them it's not an exact translation at all it's not even a translation of the clear car but it is the additional sources that he gives with uh English translation okay so let's get started kitisa we're actually not beginning with the beginning not starting in the beginning but we're going to go to chapter 31. now we're going to deal with with verse 2 and I guess we'll say verse 2 through till um 11 and then we're going to skip well not really skip but then we're going to deal with verses 13 onward it's like two parts okay so if you turn in your Hebrew sheets to uh you have it uh tough tet valve that would be 415. start like this it says in chapter 31 of Exodus verse 2. well God first says to Moses saying God is telling Moses to see what is he telling what does c mean a Yuda okay I'm calling him by name or I have called by name however you want to translate it but there's something unique about the name bit Saleh who's going to be the overseer the master architect the foreman of the job the one with all the responsibility on the shoulders for the mishkan and for the vessels okay so what are those first few words mean that's what we're going to discuss for the next little bit and Rashi right away says as if it's saying God is telling Moses see now the word c doesn't always mean to see but it means to discern to be able to choose to be able to understand you ever have a conversation with somebody who says yeah I see what you're saying right I understand what you're saying but we're talking about with a certain level of ruach hakodesh a certain level of Prophecy now we're not talking the prophecy there's many levels of Prophecy ruach is not the top level but it's it's up there believe me we should all Merit but God is telling Moses that to Moses that he should see discern understand with the holy spirit that is on you foreign that this person who I God am calling out by the name because of his name means he's appropriate he's fit He's Worthy is proper he's the one who's most fitting for this job to do the malacha malacha means the creative acts in building this mishkan the mishkan by the way is a microcosm of the universe the whole universe is a macro okay we're going to talk about that a little bit further on so the Clear Car uses a very um I'm going to call it almost poetic but it's um it's based on some verses as if God is telling Moses and you Moses you shall see the word doesn't only mean to see but it's a certain level of Prophecy as well in English you would translate it as a seer s-e-e-r right that means there are people who can see into the future people who can see beyond what is just in front of you as opposed to like a prophet who has the ability to or actually the obligation to rebuke the people and to try to guide the People The Seer may not have that responsibility but has the ability to see into the future or to see things that most people cannot see that's why he's called a Seer anyway so if you want to look I think even the shore sheet I think I put it here um in Exodus chapter 18 21 in parsha's Israel when when after ISRO makes the unbelievable suggestion of how Moses should delegate other leaders and other judges okay to free up let's say his time and only deal with the heavier cases or the most difficult cases in 1821 it says he's basically telling him in Hebrew you with your ability of ruach you'll be able to tell who the Hypocrites are who the phonies are who the real men are as it says in English right you will choose out of the entire nation of men of sustenance God fears men of truths who hate monetary gain and you shall point over them leaders over the thousands The Hundreds the 50s and the tens Rashi says there with the ruaches upon you you understand that that concept of to be able to see this is a gift not only did Moses have Joshua had this okay and truth be told our leaders are true leaders they're very modest but they also have disability as well let's go on now the clear car says after he mentions from that fact that it says be shame that means there's something about the name itself but Shane means right I called in the name or by the name that's ale there's an inference there's you hear from the name you understand from the name that in his name proves is mokia regarding him that he is okay now this is hard to translate what does it mean but sale ale so sailed really means shade shadow it can also mean shelter and protection the truth be told what do you think this is God says build me a house so I can dwell among you the man responsible for the production overseeing the production his name is the protection of God the the shade of God the shelter of God unbelievable but it also means something else it means we'll get we'll get to it you got to hang in there okay so the clear crack continues um did I skip something um yeah I did I'm sorry so in chapter 91 of Psalms by the way just to take a quick look at um if you turn to number four on page two that before we read 91 verse 1 of Psalms no you should know that chapters 90 through 100 these I don't know if you count them as 10 or 11 but basically these chapters are attributed to Moshe not sure that means he wrote them he authored them but they're attributed to motion and the reason I'm saying I'm not sure because first of all I don't know if you had to write them if they were Oro and they were only written by David David compiled them many other of the Psalms were not written by David actually says who wrote them not always was it of it so even if you go to let's say chapter 90 you'll see right away that it's described to motion chapter 91 ascribed to Moshe says he who dwells in The Refuge of the most high will Lodge in the shadow of the Almighty so in the Hebrews Yoshi bases okay so I was trying to figure out why is the clear card bringing this as a proof text that pizza is somehow fitting because of his name so that you I would actually ask you to meditate on there is a discussion in the Hilton impartial shmini that probably will give us Insight but at this point we'll have to take his word that Moses said these words at the finishing at the end of the production of the mishkan and attributing it to bitsale as if to say those who made the mo those who produced the work basically either to read this as they were in the shadow of God and I mentioned earlier I wanted to translate it as they were right I didn't say that but in other words when God tells him it's an emission that basale is correct because he is in he himself is the shadow of God or within the protection of God now says at the end it says when I say the end I'm look I'm really referring to verse 11. but if you look at number five there's two times in in verse 6 and verse 11 very similar language um let's look at 11 because that's the verse he brings down that this was all done in complete accordance with everything I have commanded you they shall do so God is speaking to Moses and as if he's saying right everything that I got how I commanded it to you that's how they should do it yasu now in verse six it's a very similar language but it's switched but it's basically the same idea he brings down verse 11. and in verse 6 basically says and they shall make everything I've commanded you so we're going to get into this whole dilemma did bitsaleel change the order did Moses actually tell him the order that he made it in because according to the text that we have it seems like Moses did not tell him the order that he made it in and that is going to be open for this discussion tonight um look at verse 6 Rashi says and all the wise hearted into his Hearts I've installed wisdom and additionally otherwise-hearted people among you shall assist as well as everyone into whom I have instilled wisdom and all of them shall make everything I've commanded you okay let's go back into the clear car and he says like this the verse does not say that they should do all which I commanded them but rather God says that they should do all which I commanded you and this is certainly they were encased or in embedded with such wisdom they actually understood what God wanted even though as I mentioned the way Moses told them was not necessarily the way they did it and they're going to come back and say we'll have this conversation with Moses and bitsale but in the end but Salah did it exactly the way God wanted it and the way he told Moses not the way Moses told him and he understood it because he's bitsal ale he's mamish in the shadow of God in the image of God to a certain extentude now this is very interesting because what the clear card is about to do is to give us a quote from numbers 38 verse 22. now there's arashi on that verse and what he's going to say is I the Clear Car I wonder I'm mama astonished I'm surprised that Rashi did not bring that commentary in chapter 38 here in chapter 31 when we really need it and he ends that paragraph but let's go into it what is the verse in chapter 38 22 saying it's number six on the store sheet bitsale the son of URI son of the tribe of Yehuda had made all that the Lord commanded Moses it doesn't say that he did all that Moses commanded him again I mentioned that Moses can seemingly commanded him a different order and he actually did the order of God and out of Moses this rash is quite complicated bear with us I underlined I think the highlighted well the whole thing is almost underlined it's pretty long but we'll have to go through it you have to know this rash is very important so when it says right in Rashi had made all but Salah made all that the Lord commanded Moses see Moses had commanded him whatever Moses commanded him is not written here but all that the Lord had commanded Moses the Israel here that's what it says he did all that the Lord had commanded meaning even in things that that Moses himself did not say to him view coincided with what Moses what was actually said by God to Moses not necessarily what Moses said to him because he's bit Sal ale because he really understood Hashem from Moses this is what Moses did Moses commanded butzalel to First make the the ark the furnishings and only afterwards the mishkan okay Rashi is not necessarily referring to the command to make the donations meaning the Mere teals from the mishkan its Furnishings okay but rather the in in truma the very beginning of where things are told how to make since on the contrary Hashem himself the holy Blessed Be he commanded the acts act opposite impartial first God commanded them to make the Furnishings the ark then the table the manure the curtains and afterwards he gave the command to make all the implements for the mishkan whereas the command of Moshe rabenu May rest in peace at the beginning of the hakao which is chapter 35. it lists first the mishkan so when Moses tells bitsale the first thing he tells us the mishkan and afterwards the furnishings okay um I want to skip down I don't know if I want to skip anything but we're going to have to for time's sake Turn the Page to so the order of the Furnishings listed here are irrelevant okay skip down skip down all that the Lord commanded Moses at the very end of Rashi we see that Moses commanded them in the opposite manner therefore the text here does not stay right we point it out doesn't say Moses had commanded them but as the Lord had commanded them study this well now this is the conversation drum roll please this is the conversation that Moses had with bitsale after Moses told him to build right the ark seemingly first butzalo says it is common practice to First make a house and then you have a place to put the furniture in you don't make the furniture and let the elements get to it you make the house and then you make the furniture and put it in she said to them he said to him this is what I heard from the mouth of the Holy One Blessed Be he meaning but Salah who's bitsale ale he actually heard what God said to Moses he understood that and Moses says back to him you were in the shadow of God you are bitsale which is the meaning of his name meaning you are right surely that is what God the Holy One blessed me he commanded me and he did what did bitsale actually do he didn't do the order that Moses actually seemed to have told him rather but Salo made first the mishkan and afterwards the Furnishing now I want to give you an idea what is really behind this whole seeming controversy or complication why did did Moses change the order if God said make the Michigan first and then the our own you know the Furnishings why would Moses make the list first of our own first drum roll please here we go because the most important item in this hole Endeavor is the arrow Moses was only stressing this is the purpose this is the reason so when you make a list and the arrow is the most important you're not going to put it last when he actually told him what to make he for sure agreed with bitsale but Salah says I know what you just told me but I know what God Said and mo says you're right you do exactly what God Said the only reason I made this list with the iron first is because that's the most important thing that's where the Torah goes that represents the Torah that represents God's presence that represents all the Miracles behind the curtain okay I hope that is satisfactory to any Skeptics out there let's go on the next paragraph is now we're starting verse 13. now verse 13 is going to talk about Shabbos now this is going to be the general rule you have the mishkan then you have Shabbos usually whatever comes first is more important other places there's at least two other places you have where Shabbos comes first and then the mishkan well we're not going to say two out of three you're going to go to my job by the majority the rule is whatever comes first takes precedence and pushes off whatever comes second here it's going to be different because there's another reason why the second thing is pushed off I'm sorry in this case Shabbos is not pushed off but rather is more important even though it's not in the order that I just mentioned keep this in mind whatever comes first pushes off the second how do we even know what not to do on Shabbos God says right refrain from Allah you would ask anybody what is Malachi which they would translate it as work mistakenly it is the 39 creative acts that going into building this microcosm of the universe that God himself used his own words and created the universe okay so he rested on the seventh day so too we rest on the seventh day and we stop from creating it's not just 39 there are actually many sub categories of each of the 39 they're called todos and they have equal weight in terms of punishment because it says that if you violate these of course with all the Sanhedrin and Witnesses and and warnings and all this stuff which was very hard to you know come by you had to be actually suicidal to end up in such a case and any Sanhedrin that put anybody to death in 70 years was called a saint hegem with blood on their hands but understand well that if the if the turret tells you there's a death penalty and we all know you need Witnesses and you need warning how in the world if you want to translate malacha as just work right it's like a very subjective thing what was work for one person it might be pleasure for someone else it wouldn't make any sense there's obviously an oral Torah that describes the 39 malachot that fit in exactly with the mishkan and the premises as we said twice in the Torah it says about Shabbos and then it says the mishkan you stop building the mishkai on Shabbos here it's in the reverse order and we're gonna have to deal with it so here we go right away laymore ah what does akh do that is going to be the key but we're going to get in some real mystical ideas here and you speak to the children of Israel and say only my Sabbath right you shall observe it does go on we don't have the whole verse here in front of us but it should be a sign for you okay so now what is the first thing the cleocar says it's very strange again why is God telling Moses and you he's emphasizing and you you're the one who's going to speak to the children of Israel telling them however the word however but like it's we're gonna see what the word ah means my Shabbos is you shall guard now the word Shabbos is is plural now what is it about Moses that is so unique that God has to say to him and you something about Shabbos is unique to you wait till you hear this the clear car says based on a shmos Raba 132 where do we have that and it's going to be here somewhere pretty sure it's here go to page four number nine there is an interpretation you have to understand that when Moses was in Egypt actually you know what I should read the rest of this um this uh the clear Christ says that it was Moses that chose Shabbos Moses was the one who chose the day of Shabbat in Egypt what is that referring to so in the midrash of 128 that Moses says in the Torah that he saw their suffering Moses went out he saw his Brethren working seven days a week they didn't have rest he Moses the one he went to pharaoh and he said listen if one has a slave and he doesn't rest one day a week that slave is going to die while you're slaves if you don't allow them to rest one day a week they will die you know what Pharaoh said to him remember Moses was like the Viceroy I mean he was like like number two you know it wasn't like um as we say Joseph he didn't have that kind of power but he was the family right he was like adopted son he was like The Prince of Egypt so to speak and you know Sarah said to him go and do for them as you're saying let them have a day off unbelievable so we owe a tremendous amount to Moses for the Shabbos and Moses went out and established a Sabbath day of rest for them while we were in Egypt so that's the madrish now interestingly enough for those who pray uh the tefila of the Jewish monetary the Jewish amida on Shabbos we use a new soft that says I know it's here somewhere here it is number 10. yismach Moshe if you ever wondered what it meant now you know let Moses rejoice in the gift of his portion it's because of Moses I'm going to say quick thinking but basically his intuition how all mankind it's not nice to work seven days a week they should have some time to process and relax not necessarily for religious reasons for humanitarian reasons okay that was at least Moses excuse for pharaoh and therefore it's Moses's portion Shabbos itself Moses was yesmak Moshe alkout it's unbelievable very powerful idea here okay let's continue now the word however right how do they translate it here we're looking at verse 12. 13 13. now you speak to the children of Israel saying however that's how they translate it however you must observe my sabbaths it's a sign between me and you for your generations to know that I am Hashem who makes you holy these are very important words we're now going to um what's the word um you know sink our teeth into so however my Sabbath plural and the clear card points out right away steinbamajma it sounds like we're talking about minimum two sabbaths laficia hiskira mishkan the whole Kayla of Neymar since it was mentioned now this is like a side point but it's very important because he's going to bring out a question that we should all have had however we never asked it but he's asking us for us if it's right two shabbos's fine that's going to be a statement of fact now since it mentions by the building of the mishkah and the vessels as it says in chapter 25 verse 1 God says make for me a sanctuary the word Lee and he explains also in Chapter 30 verse 25 by the um by the oil that's going to be used for the anointing oil y this special anointing oil right it's going to be holy so this will be for me so this is what God says Lee twice and every place it says Lee in this context it's for me God ready for this it means it's forever now the clear card is going to point out this is very difficult to understand if that's a fact the mishkan was destroyed I mean basically with them at the temple twice the Michigan we don't know where it is and the temple is destroyed twice so what does it mean make a mishkan for me if it's not forever if you're telling me Lee means forever and then the oil where's the oil so let's see the see how the Clear Car explains it the yolkat Parsha Struma in the madrush it says now I actually have the language of the medrish to find it that's number 13. it's a little bit different so it means that there's probably other texts it says see number 13 in the in the midridge 363. right speak to the children's Israel they should take shrooma and kativ Khan Ella it specifically says rather they should take for me truma Lee any place that it says Lee it's referring to this world and the next World now how the clear card must be like I said another text that says it's forever I could see those words meaning that but that's not the exact text that whenever it's for me God it's not only in this world but it's in the next World which implies certainly there's no argument here it certainly can imply forever so if that's the truth then we have a problem because as the car points out right away how can that be our very own eyes see that these things do not exist forever we don't have a temple right now and where is the oil it's certainly unfortunately destroyed in a state of Destruction where is it now this is where he's going to get into this idea it's unbelievable and this is going to answer the questions we didn't even really ask it but why is it say Shabbos twice and what does mean these are very powerful words when God said make for me a miktash and make this oil for me it's going to be forever but you know it's going to be forever only if you follow my shabbos's if you follow my shabboses that's the condition then it will be forever if you don't follow my shabboses you will not have the miktash forever you won't have the Kahuna the Kings and all that they're gonna not be forever and that's how you translate the word aokane Amar therefore it's like saying as if God is putting condition into the matter when he says Maru however my Sabbath you shall guard and you shall keep 118b I would you know we've got a lot of drum rolls here I would say drum roll for sure did you know this that if the Jewish people would have kept at least the way it's written here two shabboses and I think it means two Shabbos in a row then we would have been immediately redeemed now I want to just digress a little bit by going to the go into the good morning itself it's number 14. because I do want to say that there is a little bit of a contradiction here that I'd like to help resolve so number 14 review said that Rob said had the Jewish people observe the first Shabbos meaning one Shabbos that was commanded to them we would have been Invincible no Nation or tongue meaning or other Nation any any other tongue would have ever ruled over us we would have been not just independent but basically Michelle would have come right away as it says in Exodus chapter 16 verse 27 that when the seventh day came around some of the people went out to collect the man but they didn't find any because it got ruined of course but guess what they went out there to desecrate the Shabbos and what happens just a few verses later umale came and fought with his Runner feeding okay I just want to read the Hebrew who's beautiful and then in chapter 17 verse 8 now that's the first opinion it seems from that first opinion that if Jews just kept one Shabbos we would have been invincible and Malik never would have come according to the second opinion said in the name Russian if only the Jewish people would keep two shabboses in accordance with the meaning properly they would be immediately redeemed as it says and that's our verse well that's not our verse but there's a verse in Isaiah 56 4. so God said to the eunuchs who will keep my Shabbat out and then the next verse says and I will bring them to the Holy Mountain meaning come right up to your shalim okay so this is the idea over there now the question that I pose to you is how do you have how can you resolve this contradiction are they arguing there are arguments but most of the time it's a matter of defining your terms so in the name of Rubio's wine you should live me well I want to tell you what a tremendous idea that there is no contradiction we would have been redeemed immediately we would have been Invincible had we kept two Shabbos in a row or one Shabbos which one is it according to review it would have been the second of the two shabbases was the real Shabbos that we would have kept because Shabbos is day seven you need six days and then you have a seventh day called Shabbos if I was living my life 30 40 years and I said you know I'm gonna now keep Shabbos Friday night is approaching and that's my Shabbos guess what that's not day seven that's day three a million 652 of my life I need it to be Shabbos it has to be a break from the the Finishing Touch of six work days that's Shabbos so basically when it says two shabbos's that opinion means you need a starting point you need a starting point so you you do eight Shabbos like I said it could be the three million 652nd day of my life and I'm gonna stop my malacha and immediately after Shabbos I make have dollar and that's when my six weekdays begin I have a starting point and then the second Shabbos is the real Shabbos it's that one Shabbos it's that first Shabbos that was mentioned by review the name of RAF I hope that is satisfactory for those that heard there are two opinions well which one is it I hold based on review and swag there is no argument concerning this at all let's go back into the clear car oh I do want to mention something about this particular verse in Isaiah because this also could be quite misunderstanding um again it's in chapter 56 we didn't really read verse three we read verse four but verse 3 says let not the Foreigner who has joined himself to Hashem speak saying Hashem will utterly separate me from his people and let not the baron one say again that's the um the saris that's the eunuch behold I'm a shriveled tree and then verse 4 says for thus said Hashem to the barren ones who observe my sabbaths and choose what I desire and grasp my Covenant tightly the interesting here interesting here interesting thing when you read in here it says so there are two opinions this is talking about the potential convert meaning the candidate the one who's in the process of converting he shouldn't say to himself I'm Barren I'm not going to have any children so what's the point I don't see it tomorrow so to speak I don't see any future with myself to do with the Jewish people no don't worry about that you join the Jewish people and you will join them forever even in the world to come which we're going to describe as in Eternal Shabbos but before we get there the other opinion is talking about those who have already converted and don't have any children okay meaning not that they're not that they were bearing their whole lives but some people can convert later in life and they also feel estranged uh you know they don't have any children so they they seem I'm not really part of the Jewish people that's fake news once you convert your 100 part of the Jewish people your soul is with them forever whether you have children or not okay so I think I took care of that all right next let's go forward where did we leave off we sat here at shop so Sai So based on that verse in Isaiah chapter 56 verse 4. for those who keep my Shabbos is also plural right here in our verse we have the word what is look at the words is exactly what it means it's a condition so as I mentioned in number seven on the source sheet where it's Exodus 31 verse 13. so rash if you go down like four lines says only keep my sabbaths although you'll be rushed to perform the work of the mishkan quickly the Shabbat shall not be set aside because of it in other words Shabbos is going to be more important than the mishkan and this is where Rashi says all instances of the word imply limitations their meaning are exclusive to exclude the Sabbath from the work of the mishkan so in other words where you have the principle whatever comes first automatically pushes off whatever second in our case we have the mishkan first and then Shabbos but the word ah is coming to exclude don't work on Shabbos so in other words you don't need the general principle what comes first to push off what comes second because you have something else which is pushing it off and that's the word ah okay now there really is so many good stuff here I think it's worthwhile reading it says for it's a sign between me and you Rashi says it's a sign of distinction between us that I have chosen You by granting you an inheritance my day of rest for your rest to know what does it mean to note that other people should know by us by the Jews keeping Shabbos the Nations will know that I the Lord sanctify you okay and of course God forbid if we desecrate there's a death sentence now this is a little bit complicated in the idea that many non-jews would like to keep Shabbos it's actually a hundred percent I know this is very controversial it's a hundred percent forbidden to keep Shabbos the way the Jews keep Shabbos it's as simple as that I hope we can put that to rest however there is no death penalty for a non-june not keeping Shabbos in fact there's no penalty at all clear as day and it's a special sign by the way two of the seven Noche laws one is adultery and the other is stealing and we have a tradition this is one of the things that would fit into those categories if you try to I think it's called misappropriate by saying you're obligated by saying it belongs to you when God's so clearly says it's a very unique sign between me and the Jewish people to say I'm obligated or it's mine that is either adultery because of the words it means inheritance but means betroth and also because it was given to the Jews if you say it's mine that's called stealing so that's why there is a severe penalty against the non-jew who keeps it for religious reasons for humanitarian reasons or and I say religious reasons let's say like this where it might be permissible I wouldn't even call it religious reasons but spiritual reasons you're recognizing there's a a creator of the universe and you want to celebrate that so you take some time off to do some spiritual things to give all the praises to God so that's okay right but to make it an obligation or a ritual that would be a problem okay so let's move on the last thing we said over here was that if you guard my shabbos's this is what the condition for the Everlasting Temple and kingship so to speak now the yeh holy Rashi this is certainly possible the opinion of Rashi Shapiro shabolism that was the akbarak that we just read the rash explains this comes to exclude that actually Shabbos is greater than the work of the mishkan Calif why now just think about it from a logical point of view Shabbos the very fact that for the mishkan to last forever is dependent on keeping the Shabbos on the Jews keeping the Shabbos then there's no question that for the mishkan to last forever which is really the son of Hashem no question then Shabbos is a prerequisite for the mishkan to last forever so there's no question that you have to start working on Shabbos so it has to be that Shabbos pushes off the mishkan not the other way around okay now this is where things really get I'm going to say spiritually uh volcanic I mean will come explosive here he says the reason that Shabbos is plural it's meaning more than one Shabbos two shabbos's why Luffy Shabbos because there are two aspects there's two ways to look at Shabbos the first way to look at Shabbos is to remember to be cognizant of the fact that this world was created by a creator that it came from nothing well see I don't like that translation of yeshmi Ayan EX nihilo it's not something from nothing because iron doesn't mean nothing we call Hashem ain't self it means there was pure spirit and it became physical meaning not that God did we're talking about the world all the energy of Hashem which is pure spirit he let's say like this but whether you know anything about Einstein and his theory of relativity and all his different theories about E equals m c squared you're talking about energy can become Mass so this is what happens we're talking about the spirit is energy and it became s so it's not that it became it's not something from nothing because spirit is not nothing it's just ethereal it's not physical it's not Homer it's not physical so you're talking about from the non-physical world to become physical that's how I'd rather Express instead of EX nihilo or yashmi and explain it as physical world came from the spiritual world now this is nikra Shabbos breishi we're going to call that the Shabbos creation so we're celebrating Shabbos as the Shabbos of creation and which he doesn't mention here we're also celebrating the fact that we are free from slavery which I think is quite Universal anyway he says the second aspect of Shabbos we didn't mention yet is the future Shabbos so just like there were six days of creation and there was a seventh day called Shabbos we parallel Thousand-Year periods Millennium six thousand years of creation which are we are really coming close to era of Shabbos right 57-83 we're welcoming Shabbos and early hopefully so what we call an eternal Shabbos or Yom shakulu shabas that would be after the resurrection of the dead after meshiach comes this will be a thousand year period where it's considered an eternal Shabbos and believe it or not these two ideas he says the many commentators agree with this idea now based on this idea he's now going to take it another step further he's now going to bring proof he's going to bring Ariah Rye is proof from what's mentioned in the in the measures now we have to understand I'm going to quote the medrish ready nothing said from where do we know to say that where do we know that if anybody observed the Shabbos correctly holocchically perfectly this is like an unbelievable statement it is piled on him it's placed on him as if he kept and observed all the shabbases from the very beginning Shabbos bresheet from the time that God created the world in six days and wrestled on that seventh day you kept that Shabbos amazing until the resurrection of the Dead which means including what we call Olam I mean ribby nothing is asking this question he's making a bold statement that it's true but where do we know it from that if you keep Shabbos properly just one just one shop is properly it's as if you kept Shabbos from Adam harishon the first man until the end of time and he's quoting this verse the shamroob and nature also Shabbos they The Beneficial should keep Shabbos should observe the Shabbos now that's where he ends the quote and now the clear car says none of this makes any sense the whole mosquito who's a Moscow anyone who's a thinking person anyone with Seiko any intelligent person is totally astonished by this statement how can it be truth come on that if you kept one Shabbos properly it's like you kept all the shabbos's from beginning of time until the end of time this is a huge statement and you know what the clear card is going to make sense out of it but we have to have a little patience he's going to build the question where did remin come to say such a teaching is amazing where do you have any inkling of an idea we're hint in these verses that we're talking about the very Shabbos of creation until the end of time this obviously bothered reminiscent that's why he asked the question so this is like kind of he's going to give a whole list of questions he doesn't answer them all up so Lama tequila you know maybe I'll just Express if you look at these verses if you have a homish open it up look at verse 13 14 and 15 and put like a major semicolon there and then take 16 onward separate them one is going to be talking about shabba's breishi and the other last few verses I'm going to talk about the resurrection well let's just say all of Haba okay the world to come after I get through with the questions and the answer you'll see it quite clearly so he says why does the verse begin which I plural My Shabbos is and afterwards in the same verse it says Shabbos right go back to the original verse in number seven and you speak to the Children's Division only if you keep my Sabbath plural for it's a sign between me and you and you know therefore keep the Sabbath right is foreign okay so let's continue with the Clear Car he points that out he says in another question means second person so for example verse 14 there was Martin you plural should guard the Shabbos but that's in verse 14 later on in 16 it says Vashon Ruben the Sham rubination called third person so the the first three verses seem to be second person the latter verses are in third person meaning nistar meaning as if the person is not in front of you right and that right it's third person and there's another question why does it say two two times OC now I want to point out where it says he so it's in a different order so it says twice oh you see in verse 13 and verse 17. so if you look in 13 it says 13 it says ice he it's going to be of sign Shabbos is a sign between me and between you as opposed to verse 17 where it says oh you see so in 17 it speaks about between me and the Jewish people it's a sign so the words it's a sign is in reverse order so to speak to a different placement in the verse so that's his next question I'll just say it again [Music] foreign so rather this is already I think beginning of his answer that since all of the first verses meaning 13 14 and 15 right until the word vashama vashama is the first word of verse 16. it's all talking about that aspect of Shabbos which is referring to the creation of the world and that's when it's referring to in our verse 13 however my Shabba says you shall keep they shall keep and only afterwards and afterwards it's explaining what these two shabboses are see it says in the beginning on the Shabbos braceheat and I mentioned about the order key ice he the word ice he it's a sign between me and you so he points out the word comes first before the words beneham between me and between you because Shabbos braceheat was kodem Eliza Israel this concept of observing some kind of recognition that God created the world that came before the command on Mount Sinai to the Jewish people and that's why at the end of 13 it says remember you should know that I am the Lord your God who sanctifies you itself is coming to remind you that there's a Creator will my face that this proves regarding this concept he created from nothing again from something but spirituality and that's why he says you should know that I am Hashem and regarding that in verse 14 because it's still the first three verses you shall keep the Sabbath but that's regarding shabba's barishi actually it's singular I'm sorry you shall keep the Sabbath that's referring to the Sabbath of creation now that's until verse 15. now afterwards meaning starting in verse 16 it says from the words again singular Shabbos they shall keep the children of Israel the Shabbos it's his this begins this verse 16 begins to discuss the future Shabbos aren't we all waiting the whole wide world is waiting to sing the song of Shabbos the whole world is awaiting okay so that's all waiting for hanistar that's hidden now why is it hidden because the world to come is hidden number one number two there's a whole idea I know it's going to sound crazy all of the promises and descriptions of all the beautiful things that are waiting the the people in the world to come do you know that there's different levels and the highest levels were never described so in other words if you think that's good just wait till you if you're righteous more righteous you get up to heaven it's going to be unbelievable because of a verse we have in Isaiah chapter 64 verse 3. no eyes ever seen so there is an interesting Gomorrah and I think I brought it down I hope I did if I didn't my apologies I don't actually don't think I brought it here uh um but I will describe it that's right there's a whole description who's greater the the balchuva and I want to put converts in that category or the one who's righteous his whole life Sadiq gamor now the Gomorrah does not conclude you may read that Gamora and think that the that the balchuv is greater I kind of believe that too but the converter does not conclude that but what doesn't conclude that whoever is greater that that is not described in the Torah at all in terms of that person's reward because it's Indescribable it's undescribable it's beyond description all the promises of bliss and spirituality that will be enjoyed in the world to Come Those were written was for the lower level okay I hope that was clear let's move forward so okay therefore even the command itself in when we're talking about the Shabbos for the for lossy lover for the for the world to come that was also in third person now we're going to see an interesting verse in verse 16. now this is what we say often often on Shabbos right we're making Kiddush right I'm gonna say and I'm gonna try to sing it where is it and verse 16. ice he lay alone this is talking about the future Shabbos look what it says it says you're supposed to not do anything on Shabbos and yet it says well I'm not sure that's a good translation to do the Shabbos right last verse 17. between me and Junior's aside forever then six days there's no real translation here to make the Shabbos for your for your um actually right it's actually part of 16. the the latter part to make the Sabbath and eternal Covenant that's God's doing God made an eternal Covenant okay that's what the Young School Chavez is that's God's doing I want to take you on a little journey it's number 12 25 on the source sheets it's Psalms 31 20. how great is your goodness that you have laid away for those who fear you obviously we're talking about what do you mean God in his goodness laid away for those who fear you that you have worked it was Hashem who created this for those who take refuge in you in the presence of the sons of man look at Rashi I knew that those who fear you have good reward in the world to come nevertheless in this world because the wicked surround them I pray for them that you hide them in the mercy of your countenance okay so this idea that Alta Alta is a action taken on behalf of God that this is part of the Covenant that will be forever so look at the Clear Car when it says after the verse we just reading that the Jewish people will guard the Shabbos that the keeping of the Shabbos the keeping the observing of the Shabbos is to what to make the Shabbos that's what the word said Shabbos to make the Shabbos that Hashem is the one who is performing and accomplishing for the Jewish people so this idea to make the Shabbos this is Hashem is making the Shabbos right the Hashem is making and producing and accomplishing the reward that is a day that is a thousand years a long time an Everlasting Covenant Lord as verse 16 continues the right that through their Generations as in the Everlasting Covenant and what is that who have Brit this is the Covenant let's say even the word promise of the Everlasting Covenant of the world to come we mentioned there was OSI before there was is he after so here in verse 17 which we're talking about the Eternal Covenant Israel and only afterwards so that's the order he had severeign because the command precedes the the reward okay so you have the command Israel I'm sorry it precedes the the Covenant itself the oath itself now he ends off by saying from everything we just said from all of the analysis that we made Rabbi NASA and this is where the clear card is claiming that reminiscent understood he placed these two ideas um meaning he said that if you keep one Shabbos properly it's as if you kept Shabbos barishi and you kept the world to come it could mean that it doesn't mean you kept all the shops in between it means you're keeping the concept of Shabbos breishi and you're keeping the concept of and therefore maybe maybe we could take it one step further and take a literally that you're actually keeping all the shopses but I think that's what it means where the clear card says from all these this analysis this is where reminiscent understood to place these like as book markers now as book markers you either think that as book markers you think of everything that it's holding up in between but anyway he does end off by saying those words meaning you're keeping the Shabbos from the beginning of creation and I'll just use the words until the end of creation end of the resurrection of the dead and whatnot so I hope that we can all appreciate so much more number one about Shabbos number two about how to learn how to you know sink your teeth into a Hebrew text I understand the depth of what there is that it can change your life you change your your focus to be a more spiritual person to uh I'm not going to say walk on water but why not as if as if right the whole world was given to you right unbelievable when you when you experience Shabbos I mean it's really unbelievable it's really you know if you've never for those Jews out there and if you're not Jewish join a Jewish table come see what it's like enjoy it I guarantee you'll have a great time a spiritually uplifting uh event and perhaps you can take some Jewish wisdom into your own home and so I'm going to wish everyone not just a good Shabbos but a good life and we'll see you on the other side anybody [Music]
