Why do we read Megillat Ruth on Shavuot? Listen what Kabbalah explains

[Music] this coming Tuesday we're going to celebrate shabat I want to talk a little bit about the meaning for the holiday of shabat what does it mean to the nation of the Jews and also to touch a little bit about the inner meaning of the Milla of Ruth that is read on the month on the holiday of shabat and a lot of people ask why do you read the Milla of Ruth of shabat and there is a connection if our sages decided to read about the Milla means that there's a connection to the holiday so just to give a very short ER interview overview and a explanation rot was at the time of the period that is called kuat the period of the judges which was about give or take 400 years after the Jews came into Israel with Yeshua B is they went out of MIT they were in the desert for 40 years then Yeshua brought them into Israel about 400 years later started a period and that period was called kuat shim the period of the judges and towards the period of the judges this is around the time when the story with root happened now after that it was right on the border started a new period and this period is called the period of the Kings if you are a little bit alert aware of the order in tanak in the books of tanak then first comes the period of shim the book of sh and then will come the book of MIM this goes by the periods so first was the periods of the judges then was the periods of the Kings which of course the first king was Shaul he was the first king in in in Israel and which after that came uh of course David but at the time around that time there was a certain family and their family was from the tribe of Yehuda and it was a very respectful family and the the the the father and the mother the father was called and the mother was called Nomi there were uh at the time considered a very big and respectful family like uh what you call in our days high society or celebrity or whatever call it today h they were from the tribe of Yehuda now they had two boys one of them was called mlon and the other one was called Kon and they wanted to marry off these two boys now at that time there was a famine in the land and this family they moved out of Israel and they went to a place called moav Moab in our day is Jordan so they don't want did not want to stay in the land and they they moved they hired a moving company they called a real estate agent and they moved to moav they relocated like 20 years ago there was a famine in Israel there was a not a famine without food but in business was a very hard period in business I don't know how you call it in English uh uh depression or recession so that's what happened about 20 years ago I lived in Israel I was in into real estate I made a lot of money and then there was a recession in around that time 96 97 so I left Israel I went to Moab I went to America to make money so excuse me yes I was like yob I went to Khan but I came with a wife and kids jakov came back with Six Wives I only came up with four wives I came with one he came with 12 kids I came with six so yeah I always say that I went to Khan to bring my wife out ofon the the place of the disgusting place of the world America and I brought her back and so what taped of course it's being taped everything is being taped so I know I know a lot of people are not happy with me saying that America is not a nice place but we're not going to get into that suia right now but anyways I'm just comparing it nothing to take anything serious take not to take things personal here so yakob I always compare the story that Jakob ran away from his land he went toan he made money he made a wife met wives made a family brought kids and came home so Jakob a was 17 years in Khan was 17 years in America so same story just a little bit different he's a sadic I'm not so back to our topic this family and Veni they moved to moav moav is where today is Jordan and they Mar they wanted to marry off their daughter their sons so they met two lovely girls they were sisters one of them was named and the other one was named Ora and they were not so simple girls some say that they were the son the daughters of the king of Moab one opinion says that they were the daughters of the king of Moab another opinion says that they were just Daughters of Kings not necessarily the king of Moab but they met these two lovely ladies and they wanted to um marry them to their boys so they converted them they converted both Ru and Ora and they married both the boys M andon that's it that's what the story says now the story says that since they left the land of Israel there was a what's called a they didn't like it in the heavens that they left so to say Israel they left everybody behind and they didn't want to stick around with their Nation so there was a there was a decree from sh based on this and both the the husbands they died first of all died and then the the sons died so because in sham there was a decree a prosecution that they left Israel and then they were a respectful very respected family and it wasn't the right thing to they just get up and leave they should have stayed and showed an example to everybody that okay so what if there's a famine we'll stick through it they got out and they wanted to be comfortable so the it says they they they didn't see it in a nice way in the heavens and unfortunately died and the two sons the the husb husbands died too so now Nomi was left a widowed and both R and Ora were left widowed so Ru wanted to come back to earth Israel so Nomi wanted to come back to earth Israel so R Anda said we're not leaving you we're coming with you now the zor explains that the in this separation happened all sorts of things the the first thing is that Ru got married to boas this was something positive that happened but the negative thing that happened is that Ora fell back into the kipa which is in the positive way happened two things in this separation what was the separation is that wheni wanted to go back to is then they both followed them both Ruth and and opa followed them followed her and she told him listen you don't have to come with me and and Ruth said listen I don't care what happens I'm sticking with you I'm not leaving you Opa decided no you know what I'm going to go back I'm going to make a U-turn so what happened was that these two sisters they got separated now root went with noi and op made a u-turn and went back the zor explains that the result of this separation was that Ru end up marrying BOS which what was what happened with BOS he they they had a boy named oad and then they had a boy named a boy a child named isai and then he had a boy named David so from this separation one positive thing came out which which is the marriage of Ru and Boaz which from that came David but Ora when she made a urn then uh she fell back into the kipa all the way back into the kipa now when the Jews left MIT this is basically the the general story we're not going to get into too many details but this is the general story what happened and then of course Nomi she was Nomi and Ru they were kind of attached to each other they they stick stuck to each other and so forth now in the concept of MIT because the the holiday of shab it's It's So to say finalizes the whole concept of MIT and in the concept of MIT the the reality the of MIT was slavery now what happened in this slavery so to say what happened in the concept in the story of MIT a that millions of people died in the the the the 210 years of the slavery Millions I mean there were many generations obviously there were slaves there's no no need to explain here that there were slaves in Egypt but one of the things that was very dominating there that millions of them died in MIT in the state of slavery the second thing that is very dominating is is that the nation of the Jews the nations of Israel Was Born Into Slavery they weren't born and became slaves this is a very big difference between somebody who's Born Free and then becomes a slave the generation that left Egypt they were born slaves they were born into this mentality to the reality of a slave and there a very big difference when somebody we don't have it in our generation but somebody actually we do have but it's not exactly the same in our generation somebody can beom arrested and go to jail he's not born in jail he was born free he did a bad act and he's finding himself in jail I actually saw a documentary that's where said it is applicable to our generation that women that go to jail for many years they're allowed to have a baby and then what happens is that the child is born into in in the jail I saw once a very sad documentary because the women are there for 20 years they have 100% right to have a baby so they're allow them to have a baby and the baby's born into jail but the baby's not in jail so the baby's allowed the child is allowed to go in and out and in and out but his mother's in jail and they can't separate the mother and the child so the child lives in jail it's a very sad documentary that I saw a couple years ago it was a very controversial because in one way you can take the woman's right to have a child but on the other hand but the other I mean doesn't I don't want to get into that concept but the point is that in our generation it's not so common but in the time of the generation of MIT they were born into slavery and in many times you can find that somebody example the generation of the desert they were born into the desert so we were born into Exile I mean some generations look at the generation of RAB AKA they were at the time of the Holy Temple and they were exiled out they saw the destruction and they were pushed out so they had two of the the Two Worlds same thing with the generation of MIT they had the world of the slavery and the world of Freedom the generation in the desert that went into MIT into Israel they had the desert and the so there they there are some generations that had two concepts the generation of the the Egypt they were born into slavery now there are two types of slaves the slave that was born a slave and the slave that was born free and became a slave so the either way you looking at it the leaving of Egypt was a very big extreme going from being a complete slave with a very harsh life into complete freedom and everything is being catered to you so they went by from being literally slaves working 24 hours a day being beaten up tortured and so forth suddenly they're in the desert food comes from the heavens and everything is catered to them and they're totally free this is what's called in Hebrew K I don't know the correct and accurate word in English I might say extreme but kson is like that it's two separate things that are so far AP part that is like you know we have a term in Hebrew say sh the distance one and the between one or the other is very very extreme this is called because they came from the level of a slave they was born into slavery 7 weeks later they're in the level of an Angel standing in in front of AEM and in a very high level they refined themselves for seven weeks to a point that they were able to receive the Tor this is it's two extremes now what I want to take from that that this is also happening happens in my life this there's always these Extremes in my life in my personal life and I can see in my life that sometimes I go from one extreme to the other I told you that that less than 20 years ago I I went to Moab I went to America so I went from one extreme to another extreme two countries from Israel to America all different countries then 16 years ago from become from being completely completely secular not even caring about Hashem people a complete complete extreme to the other side completely observant so this is one example out of many you see many people they half of their life they're they're not even Jewish and then they go through a period of conversion and the complete opposite now they're completely different Faith completely different religion everything is different so this is exam one example out of many not too long ago I met a person that was very very overweight and they did a very big diet and now is very skinny is also a big extreme so we find that in our life we have a lot a lot of different extremes and different changes big changes in our life and explains that this when a person goes from he calls it over that you move from one world to another and it happens in many many parts of our life that you go you can be single then you get married in one night you move from one world to another world from the world of being single to the world of being married it's a totally different world a woman can be pregnant the next day she gives birth she moves from one world to another world from being a young woman and suddenly she becomes a mother in one second in one day I mean after the second and the third child she was already a mother but when the first child is born she moved from one world to another world from being a single individual to a mother so calls it when a person goes that you go from one world to another world and that creates a very big change and he calls it Shin a big change in my life and we constantly go through these changes now in order for it to be a change has to be a preparation if not you won't accept the change that's one of the many reasons why a woman is pregnant for 9 months it has to be a preparation it can you imagine if a woman would get pregnant and the next day have a child I mean this is going to have very happen very soon when mashiah comes but psychologically have nine months to prepare for it this belly starts small and then it's bigger and then it's bigger I think psychologically it would affect the woman completely different if she would get pregnant and spit on the stomach will go outop in one a couple minutes and the baby comes out things like a Al it would affect the woman completely different so this is one change out of many a person becomes observant you don't become observant overnight takes you a couple years person converts doesn't happen overnight can take a couple years people get married they don't meet hi hello let's get married Cooper out no there's an engagement period a preparation so has to be a preparation for this big change but it happens to many people that at some point of their life they feel that they need to make a change they want to make a change they have an urge to to change something and and then they they need to apply it now right now in our state where we are at right now the nation of the Jews we are in a very big preparation for a very big change we don't notice it cuz it's it's schmeared look at a pregnant woman some people they have now this H thing with they do is they take a picture the woman stands in the same place and they take a picture every week and then they put all the pictures together and they do it like a movie and you like you see the the stomy comes out this is I saw it very very common now people do it we we really find ourselves that we're now moving from one world to another the world of Exile to the world of redemption since there's a shin there's a change has to be a prep preparation now we're going through this preparation with going through this unbelievable change in our reality this is a preparation for mashiah now where do you see another change in our nation that you see that the a very big part of our nation is becoming closer to Hashem it looks very popular that in the next last 10 20 years people becoming closer to everybody's converting you see this huge a a a a motion of people getting closer to the Kadesh even though one can argue and say you're right but you also see a big motion going out of the religion you're right you still see that many people from religion especially the the youth that they're going further away or that you see that still millions of people don't care about the Tor and the mitv but in general you see that there's a a a huge amount of people that becoming close to the k a bigger awareness and and even if people are not becoming 100% observant then they will light candles on Shabbat they'll put fill in on something you see that there's a very major change in our nation that that they say there is about a million people in the last 20 25 years actually became mamash observant this is a lot of this is a huge quantity and probably another million or two that they are becoming even more aware not to talk about thousands and thousands of converts so this entire concept is the secret that is called in cabala the secret of R The Secret of Ruth and and and op that is in each and every one of us there is a a part of us that is like root and there's a part of us that is like Ora one goes to Kusa one goes to to the kipa and the result from that is that there's a lot of emotional and mental problems from this change and this change it it affects the people a lot that's why you see that in I don't know how if to say how it was 100 years ago but I can very a confident say that in our generation and let's say in the last 20 30 years easily 50 to 80% of the world is medicated and not some type of a of a medication that that deals with emotional problems psychiatric problems and all sorts of imbalances and I'm not Shalom mocking or making fun of anybody I'm just stating the reality that just to be generous let's say only 50% but the reality is that 50% of the world is suffering from some type of an imbalance either an emotional problem a psychological problem uh uh something that that is coming from the nefes comes from the soul it's not coming from the the the the environment people maybe blame it on environment that would be the tool the the nature part that maybe triggers it but one of the causes for this problem is this great change in the univers unverse because there is a great change before mashia is coming and it's affecting people in the core in their in their neish so you see physically with your own eyes in our generation that almost any second third person has a problem and again I'm not saying it Shalom to to to make fun of somebody or to mock anybody it's just stating the reality because it has to be taken in the right measurement because in our Generations doctors don't know how to deal with it a person goes to a doctor and tells the doctor I have anxiety or I have nightmares or I'm depressed here take this pill the pill is not going to solve the problem the pill just numbs the situation that's it it doesn't solve the problem so doctors don't have a a a something to solve it they just have a pill to give you the problem is that the pill now the chemical will make the situation worse now you need a new pill to cover for the damages for the old and then it becomes like a cycle of problems and everybody's all day long just eating pills and and somebody at the end of the at the top of the chain in the pharmaceutical companies is having a lot of fun with a lot of money that they're making but that's the sad reality that a person doesn't know how to deal with a situ with a change and and who do you go to you go to the one with a white robe cuz he has a diploma on the wall he don't know how to what to tell you so he gives you a pill okay num the pain down down you have a you have a headache here take a Tylenol Tylenol is not a solution to the headache that's the most ignorant way of dealing with a headache why taking a Tylenol you ner you're basically numbing the nerve that's it you you're basically ignoring the problem let me ignore that there's a problem and I will not do anything instead of take the taking the Tylenol drink some water maybe you're dehydrated eat something maybe rest Maybe you you you have to sleep a little bit look what's the problem your body is talking to you there's a solution so unfortunately this huge change in the universe is affecting the entire universe and it's affecting people and and the teachings of cabala explains that this concept of roots and and and Ora is in in us one side can is very keen to go to one side and one second could go to the cipa one second that's all it takes one wrong thought you're in the depth of the kipi in one second this is this concept that you have this urge to be attached to Kus you wake up in the morning you're super Jew in the evening you're somebody completely else you you're a totally different person two completely different and that's this is in it can be in a person that today he's very happy and the next day depressed in in a way that they don't even know how to get out of it one way you are 100% calm and the next day you out of your your Kelly you're upset this is what this now connecting it to sh we have a a habit that we don't sleep on shabat there are many different explanations why we don't sleep on shat many women ask if they should to stay up I told you that if you have kids and you have to attend them in the morning and many other obligations you don't have to stay up all night but if you don't have kids or the kids are already grown or you have any other solution stay up it's a it's a benefit you're getting from staying up that night and learning Tor you can read you can do whatever you want is a huge benefit from that now in the teachings of cabala it explains that there are spiritual worlds are physical Worlds the spiritual worlds they have a certain abundance in them this is called shefa Hashem pours this abundance in this spiritual world and they hold this shefa this abundance on every day there's a certain shefa in it every day has a total different energy Sunday is one energy Monday is a different energy every day of the year has a completely different energy you can call it energy the the cabalistic term is called shefa shefa is an abundance of something now on the day of sh this that's in the spiritual world is a very very unique and special energy why because it comes from the highest Madre of ker the ker is the highest SP ker is a crown but in the SPH of there's there's the external part of the there's the internal part there's there's many different types ker is a crown so just imagine a physical crown that the external part has a lot of diamonds and rubies but the internal part you don't really see it it goes on the head and then there's the top part of the crown the bottom Crown same thing in the spiritual level on the night of sh the shef the abundance the energy that comes down into the spiritual world comes from from the highest level of K why CU hasem is Happy on that day hasem is very very happy what does it mean what is this abundance this sh that comes down the explains that in the in the soul there are many levels in Hebrew it's called in English the right translation would be layers like an onion an onion you peel a layer and then another layer and another layer and there's hundreds if not more I don't know how many but there are many layers in the onion same thing with the N the N has many many many many layers and in the light of shab it comes and affects all these layers all the way to the most inner part of the N that's what happens on the night of shab and everything comes from be from from within now same thing on the negative thing all these problems that people are facing they come from a very deep place I know that you can blame it on the parents or trauma or something yes you can always find the course in the in life that made the change but if you want to really go to the core of it then you you have to go to the P to the essence and that comes from a very very deep place any problem that we have in this world emotionally physically mental whatever it is comes from the nefes even a sickness if a person is sick it comes there's a deficiency in the nefes neish is the lowest part of the Soul not in the Nish the Nish is usually will not have a problem n might have the the leim the garments of the Nish might be dirty which will affect the person but if a person has a problem in the neish then it will come out in one way or another it can come in a sickness and it can come in an emotional problem depression sadness anxiety nightmares Etc but it comes from a very deep place in the neish to kind of connect it all together is because every story that happens in the Tanakh yes it's a historical fact it really happened but there's also a very mystical meaning in it and the teachings of the cabala explain that the the the concept of root and opa is that we all have two components in us one component is wants to get closer to the to Holiness and one component wants to pull us back Ru was able to a to go into the land of Israel and to stick witha to Holiness what was the result that the great grandson of Ru is David the is the king that from her comes mashia so when you get closer to Kusha then the result will be Holiness mashiach Redemption anything that comes with it when you get connected to Tuma to the kipa then it will be the complete opposite what was the what was the result OFA that she had a son golat and he went again against David and if you read the entire history what came after Ora besides the son golad just read the history so in me there these two motions constantly now when there's a big change it's going to affect me I'm not going to be so balanced so this kind of comes to explain why many people in our generation they have all sorts of problems whether it's with communicating with their Rel with their spouse with their mental problems emotional problems all these problems and nobody have answers very few people have really the answers mashia is going to be the one who has the ultimate answer mashia is going to come and solve the problem but in the meantime I need to find some type of a solution and the solution comes in the night of shabat because in the night of shabat the Godly light that comes down to the world from the it penetrates to the depth of the N which means that this is the time that I can generate so to say as much as holy power into my deeper layers that of my Nish to affect it because if I have a problem with anger this is a very small problem that I can deal with it's not so small some people their anger is so out of control it's it's it's it becomes a very big problem can be anger can be depression could be sadness can be whatever imbalance that's in my body because these two motions are pulling me from side to side it's complete dis disoriented as what's called in Hebrew isone any own there's no balance here one day like this one day like that so again this is not Toom make fun of anybody or look at somebody in a in the wrong way it's to know what's the solution and one of the solution of course the ultimate solution is is mashia but what allows a person to battle their this this extreme is the night of shab this is not just a regular night that you eat cheescakes or you you meditating on the tiu and the blanches this is just a food you have 24 hours or 48 hours if you live abroad that what am I meditating on what am I trying to reach in that night that's why yes we don't sleep because okay we know the men fell asleep the night before so now we have to stay up yes okay that's on the literal level but such a huge amazing Godly light is shining on this night and I'm going to go to sleep I'm going to waste now 6 seven hours of this day this is not the time to do it this is the time to be United with this Allon with this High light that will affect the depth of my we all have problems don't think that one is better than the other or or that person looks normal everybody has some cuck in them and and and I'm not saying it again it's not saying in a negative way we all have shticks in our mind yeah we all we're all suffering from some type of a problem we're human some it's very extreme some it's not so extreme some it's very hidden some it's it's outside but we all need this if you notice that when we say the M on Shabbat and in auspicious times when we take out the Torah we mention something very interesting we say the salvation of and the healing of the body and the nees my body needs a a my NE too but you know what we say we first say because first it comes in the nees then the Goof so the night of sh is the ultimate night for any person that wants to work a little bit on enlightening their nefes going a little bit out of their state state of confusion or imbalance is the night of sh and that's one of the many reasons why we do read the migil of because that it symbolizes this concept of the concept of change the concept of extreme the concept of of the the two motions in me one wants to come to Kusha the other one wants to go to Tuma and needless to say what would be the result when I get attached to Kusa to Holiness the result is mhia like if I attach myself to kipa to the other side of Holiness this that will be the result the complete opposite so the answer lies in that all my problems will be solved and can be solved from the Torah and I know many people argue on that no you can't rely only on the Torah everything is in the Torah not saying that a person that Shalom has some emotional problem to stop going to his therapist nothing wrong with a therapist but it all has to come from the Torah and that's the night when we got the Torah that's the night when we getting the the ultimate energy from the highest source to the most depth of our Nish to affect us and when you want to affect the external part it the internal part has to be affected therefore we want to Apple night we want to learn Torah we want to tap into this special day don't concentrate on the cheesecake you have to concentrate on what you can achieve that night it means that the preparation we still have a few more days we're entering now to the sphere of Mal that's it we're the we're at the end of the end right now this coming Shabbat is special we have AES tonight is rodes on Shabbat this is all one big preparation this is already getting closer and closer to the to Matan Tora if we all do our own preparation we will receive the Torah with the coming of mashiah mhia is going to come he's going to reveal everything but we still if Shalom he decides to wait a few more days then at least we want to reach to the core of our n to be able to heal ourselves in the in the level that only this highest level of Godly Revelation can do and that happens on the the night of shab and each and every one of us has to concentrate and meditate and and do the effort what I can do that night you can't stay up all night then stay up one hour read a little bit of read part of the of the wake up early instead of waking up and praying in a late minion and this sh pray in a small in a in a in a small in early Min I told you that explains that the night of sh determines my connection to the Tor for the next entire year what I will do on the night of shab will actually this side and determine my connection my connection to the Tor how much Tor will I learn how much I will have the desire and the will to run and do a Mitzvah and so forth so we should really concentrate on the on the on the most important thing I know it's hard with all the cheesecakes and the blin chees and all the dairy food but we definitely need to take advantage of that night and needless to say that the same day that they receive the Tor we are re receiving the Torah again in the spiritual level and with our hard work in our merits we should receive the T the new is going to come with Masia it should happen this it should happen very Speedy in our days and should have a beautiful beautiful and a good [Music]
