amen and thank you very very much
our sages
the inimitable ability
to convey
very very profound
messages in extremely brief sentences
many of the statements of the Ghazal
it's literally like one line but if you
unravel it it contains within it
sometimes a whole
a whole elaborate and profound
perspective and Velton
and today we're going to explore such an
example
it's your first Source we have it in the
original and then it also translated in
English I took the translation from the
safaria website
which has most of our sources with many
of them translated so this is a
statement from the gemara from the
talmud tract outside the page 34b
and it focuses on the names of the
miragulum
he begins with the possible
in the opening of
which is Numbers Chapter 13.
sends 12 scouts or 12 spouse spies to go
survey the land of Canaan and come back
with a report
and the Toyota chooses to enumerate the
twelve it says that these 12 were
prominent individuals all of them were
leaders
so they weren't just he didn't just
choose anybody who was ready to go on
this Dangerous Mission because to be a
spy is always a Dangerous Mission but he
literally chose the leaders of each
tribe and the territory enumerates the
12 the 12 names for each tribe for the
oven it's a man named shamua benzaker so
shamua and his father is zakar and then
you have shiman shafat Ben khairi you
have Yehuda Kalah
he's the famous one because his report
was different Khalif the son of your
phone for you soccer you have a man
named iGo and his father is Yusuf
Ephraim you have another famous One
Hosea binun his report is also different
and then for binyamin you have palti the
son of rafu first volun
the son of Saidi for Yosef you have
Joseph through the tribe of Menasha
Gandhi the son of Susi not to confuse
with gadiel the son of Saidi Godly the
son of Susie for done we have Amil the
son of gamali for Usher the tribe of
Usher we have cesur the son of Michelle
for naftali we have nakbi the son of C
why does nobody give these names anymore
you ever had a brist recently and heard
these names
and for God the last one you have the
son of mahi
so
so the last three Usher is cesur the son
of mikhal Mahal is still a popular name
and naftali has been oftali's tribe the
leader's name was not be the son of sin
he was the Spy
I mentioned this because the Terry
mentioned obviously the turtle wants us
to know the 12 names but here the
Gomorrah says something fascinating I'm
Arabia
the great talmudic sadrabortra commented
and he said no
what I'm going to say this following
statement is a tradition of ours that
was passed down from our ancestors
there's something that's a messiah means
like a messiah a tradition from the word
Masa which means something that you
transmit Messiah comes from the word
transmission because it's transmitted
from generation to generation from
parents and grandparents to children and
grandchildren so this idea is a mess
Iris it's a tradition that came into our
hands it came to us from our avicenu
from our ancestors from our forefathers
and what is this tradition
the spies were named for their actions
don't think that their names are just
incidental names just random names
people have different names rather than
names
capture and embody their Maison their
actions
this is the tradition we got from our
ancestors
oh
but we have obtained the interpretation
of only one name
even though this is true about all 12
all 12 names that they were named based
on their actions but we that's the
tradition but we like also they know
what came up into our hands or what
what we managed to obtain with our hands
is only one and that's the one sister
as you remember this is the leader of
the tribe of Usher the Spy that Maisha
sent from the tribe of Usher because he
chose one from each tribe besides Levy
he didn't send one which means his own
tribe Maisha was a lady didn't send so
sister came from Usher so here is the
interpretation where's the connection
between the name and his actions so he
says the word in Hebrew comes from the
word sicer
which means stera yeah like stereo which
means demolish or destroy
like boina almanas Lister when you build
in order to demolish yourself
what's the connection
because demolished he was so sir he was
even the word stira in in we have stir
means I can't when there's a
contradiction you call it Astera why
what does a contradiction do it tries to
demolish if I have an idea and then you
pose astero what are you doing you're
trying to demolish and destroy my idea
so it's the same concept you say there's
Astera there's a contradiction
contradiction Beast basically unless I
resolve it
is one way to demolish an idea so sasar
myself
he destroyed or he demolished the
actions of Hashem
what's Mikhail his father's name is
mahal that's also part of his name
that's what they called Mr surban
the word
is a combination of two words
and kale the word means poor or weak or
frail
when your brother becomes
poverty-stricken
when he becomes depleted
he made Hashem
Atma he was referring to Hashem really
means himself but it's it's a euphemism
that's what the commentators understand
it
he made Hashem
appear weak
week poor frail depleted of energy so
cesur he destroyed hashem's actions
Hashem weak
this is the tradition we have and this
is the about all of them and we obtained
one
um
AR
weaken add one more
we were going to say one more
was the spy who was sent from the tribe
of naftali
what's nakbi in Hebrew hiding
to hide
is somebody who's clandestine who's
hidden
he's called nagbi because he concealed
where he hid the words of Hashem his
father is
connected to a word in Hebrew which is
which means when you skip over or you
step over like in Hebrew a step it's
called because when you take a step you
lift up your leg your foot then you skip
over the space to go to the next step
is to skip or to jump or to or to uh to
skip over
hip so ah
yeah yeah
so he says
his father's name is vasi because he
stamped over Pisa he stepped over
stamped over the midoise which means the
characteristics or the emotions or the
attributes of Hashem
and this is the end of the gemara
changes the subject continues to talk
about the spies but this is the end
now
when you read this
people read it all the time you could
see there's something here but at first
glance it's difficult to understand
what's the point that he's saying
first of all let's try to understand the
meaning of it
sister he demolished the actions of
Hashem what does that mean where did he
demolish the actions of Hashem
there was something that Hashem built
and he went and destroyed he like his
his friends came back and gave a
disastrous report about what they
observed and they dissuaded the entire
nation from going into the land they
made everybody feel that it's a doomed
situation they're destined to decimal
failure to dismal failure and they're
all going to die
what does it mean he destroyed hashem's
actions and Michal is he made a shampoo
then the second one
he hid the words of Hashem
what does it mean he hid the words of
Hashem
is there something Hashem told him that
he didn't say no that's not what
happened he did hide a lot of the
amazing things they saw in there is
Israel they chose to focus
on the dangerous elements and highlight
that that's what he hid he concealed
maybe a lot of the great things but here
he says he hid the words of Hashem and
then the next one is vafsi he skipped
over hashem's Midas which meter did he
skip over what does it mean the gemara
doesn't explain any of this you just
have to figure this all out so it seems
like okay he destroyed hashem's actions
why not he made hashem's poor made
Hashem poor he hid the words of Hashem
he stumped over the Middle East of
Hashem
what are the Ghazal trying to say what
is the message here and what do we gain
from this knowledge is this enlightening
us is there a lesson here what's the
perspective it's giving and what do they
even mean what is the how do we even
understand these very the very meaning
of the words
another interesting question that was
raised is
he says we have a tradition that all the
names come
because of their actions they're not
just incidental names they're not random
names they're significant names but
we only have one
what does it mean we only have one so it
actually says and the gemorian is
interpretation that
we cannot expound more than one of them
we cannot expound that we have a
tradition that there is a way to expound
them but we can't we don't know one of
them we can manage to expound that's
what Rashi says which one
but this raises a lot of questions why
the world of drash
is relative even though there's this in
every part of Toyota there's a structure
and there's a formula it's not health
care it's not just frivolous but there's
a very famous expression of the Ariza
when somebody gives a drash you don't
start questioning it because Toyota has
many layers and many dimensions and so
forth
he goes through an interpretation of
every single name of the spice
every one of the names is expounded
there's a very famous commentary on
hummish to call the Shah latter
also expounds every single one of the
names of the Mirage
so just like
expounded one of them he could have
easily expounded the other ones of them
as I said the world of durash there is
more freedom to use imagination to
borrow different concepts it's not such
a rigid way of learning the whole world
of drashes you compare things you use
the root of words you compare it to
other words just like he expounds one
name he could have expounded other names
also a very interesting thing there's a
difference when it says
how do you know if somebody is arguing
or somebody's just adding
like if you say something and I say yes
and or I say no it's this so then in in
in in our literally in gemara literature
it's the question says
it means an argument he says this and he
says this
means
an argument is a continuation but if he
really says that we can only expound one
and says we can expound too so there's
an argument but here it looks like it's
not an argument because it says
now perhaps you could say
that maybe as some want to say whatever
not that he could only expound one but
that there was only one tradition that
they received in other words from all
the 12 names there was one Messiah that
was actually passed over and that's a
surban
it's an interesting thing why was that
only one if that's the case
and I'm going to add another one on my
own
but the question is why was only that
one passed over they forgot all the
other ones they just remembered to
Serbia Mahal and I say it's not like
sister calls the first one it's
basically the third to the last so they
only remember that that's interesting
it's not like they had such bad memory
memories remember in that time it's
before
there was printing press they remembered
tremendous amount only this was pasted
says and I'm gonna add only one more if
you already want to add to add other
ones
the truth is
that here is a classic example where you
have a brief statement of the Ghazal
and it really opens us up to the entire
inner world of the spies
and in order to understand this let me
contrast you two statements in swarim
about the miragulum
and you see how Stark the contrast is
and you scratch your head asking which
one is right if you look in your second
Source it's the same gemari the next
page
a
the people
who went up with Yeshua and khalived
meaning tense by said we cannot go up to
the land of Israel Kumi menu because the
people the nation there is more powerful
than he
who's he more powerful than us I would
understand
the miraculum were saying something very
heavy at that time
doesn't mean from us it means from him
who's him
even the owner of the house doesn't have
the ability to go in and take out his
furniture take out his vessels even he's
trapped it's like you're the owner of
your house you were expelled and even if
you want to go back to the house and
take out your Calum you have vessels
there you have albums you have pictures
you have personal Furniture you have
personal Calum you have jewelry sorry
it's under investigation the FBI the CIA
has control over your house even the
balabayas can't come in no one has
allowed him this is the gemara is saying
what the Mirage was saying
even the owner of the world's his world
he's also trapped he can't go in he
can't do what he wants over there he
can't take out a scale
that's what they meant
now obviously the famous big question is
obvious question is that at least in
that generation to say this
literally seems absurd not just absurd
because it's so audacious but absurd
simply because of reality if you would
have asked the spies
one second where were you guys a year
ago a year and three months ago oh we
were in Egypt how long were you in Egypt
oh a very long time and how much it says
400 years it actually says 210 years
what do you do there we were slaves how
do you get out oh the water became blood
then there were frogs and there was lice
and there was another nine plagues and
ten plagues
oh interesting and what happened when
you left the Egyptians pursued us what
happened we were at a sea what happened
to the seed split
this is not a story for them that
happened three thousand years ago it's a
story that happened one year before
it's a story they experienced on their
flesh on their blood they were there and
they were the leaders
hmm
somebody once said there was a prime
minister who once said to a Jew who
lives in Israel and doesn't believe in
miracles is not a realist
and that's even in our generation
when there's a Hest upon them we're
talking about that generation if you ask
the Mirage by the way what did you have
for breakfast this morning
what do you have you had waffles
you had an omelet with cheese you had a
croissant a chocolate croissant what did
you have
okay I'm sorry kale cucumbers lettuce
now now I'm talking
and they would say we had a wonderful
breakfast it's called man where did it
come from oh it descended from heaven
and what did you have to drink
oh we have this Rolling Stone we call it
the well of Miriam that comes with us
and gives us water
and how do you manage in this heat of
the desert without air condition we have
clouds that protect us
this was happening as they were talking
suddenly they say oh sorry God can do it
Egypt was the superpower of the time so
he got them out of me won't be able to
get them in there to Surah and nobody
argued with them everybody was yeah
they're right it's impossible
and yet the gemara says it what does it
even mean the gemara says so far to say
that they said even God has no ability
here
now if you say these were a bunch of
rabble rousers sometimes you have people
it's called troublemakers
troublemakers don't care about reality
but you say that moisture chose creme de
La Creme
now I want to show you a source the
exact opposite this comes to myself
written by one of the great sages
kabbalists and Jewish history
and this is what he says look look at
his perspective and I won't even
understand how he could say such a thing
Hashem says about the generation of the
spies
means your corpses you will become
corpses in this desert meaning you won't
you don't want to go and you won't go
and you'll die in the desert and the
entire generation dies in the desert and
only the younger generation and the
women go in Terrace Israel
you wonder why there's a crisis
now they're called
The Madras calls them a dirty a
generation of knowledge of awareness
there was no generation that had the
awareness spiritual awareness like them
the only generation that saw Hashem face
to face nobody before them and nobody
after them they were there at Miami in
their physical bodies
their greatness is well established
they stood at Sinai and they saw that
which is heard they heard that which is
seeing
this doesn't happen to a regular person
synesthesia they call it but not
synesthesia as a disorder khalilah they
saw what was heard they heard what was
seeing
um
at the sea they said this is our God and
we will Adorn them so hazal say that a
maid
at the yam so what you didn't say
to the point exactly like you're
pointing to something you can pointing
to a cup of coffee like you're pointing
to a table or to your finger
foreign
there's an argument there's the
generation of the mid bar have a part in
Allah or not
but they don't so remember Manu says you
know where to be achievement England but
they don't have a need for is
means they don't have a part of this
because they don't need it
why don't they need it
and even though the Gomorrah says
abandoned his his piety
usually rabi Akiva is the one who finds
all the goodness in the Jewish people
and here he says
it's only because how he said it he said
it in a way that it could be
misinterpreted the way of yakiva said it
it could be understood that they don't
have a part in Allah what he really
meant was they don't need is
like a person
I don't know a pretty poor example but
still an example if you have somebody
who's a multi-billionaire
and then he hears that this is a yerusha
somebody in the family passed away and
left the yerusha and the yerusha
consists of two thousand dollars
so he says I don't need part in this
yerusha
not because he's being excluded because
it's not going to do anything they say
there was once a teacher for me she even
came over to Baron Rothschild and he
says if I would have your money I would
be richer than you so Rose child said
how he said because I wouldn't quit
teaching
so Rebecca says
why don't they need to go to Isaiah
it says about is
he says on that day they're going to say
email the king who say here is God in
other words godliness will be Vivid
there'll be a reality
they said
he's saying that they're even higher
than Allah
suddenly the gemara says they're denying
even hashem's ability to go on territory
and their their leaders there has to be
something here what happened to The
Mirage how do we understand the story
another interesting thing is
the portion of schlach is an interesting
Parish
the first two chapters Deal completely
with the story of the spies
the entire story they come back they
dissuade the people from going in as a
result Hashem says you'll stay in the
desert and that's where they remain 40
years
and that's where they pass away and it's
only the generation of 20 and younger or
the women who were in part of the sin of
the Mirage Israel the next chapter
chapter 15 the subject changes
completely a new Mitzvah is given to the
Jewish people it's called the Mitzvah of
what's the Mitzvah of
that when they brought carbonus they
brought various offerings in the Besame
so if you would bring a meal offering or
an animal offering it was often brought
with wine
and the Cayenne would go up to the Altar
and he would pour wine on them as best
this was called
vibrations of wine there was a hole in
the Altar and the wine would go down
down down through all the way to the
foundations of the in the mishkan
obviously there was the earth
there were foundations that went very
very deep
there was a opening that went very deep
when David prepared the territory he dug
it out
that's the Mitzvah that comes right
after the story of the spice
the mitzvahana pouring wine
on the mizbayak for many of the carbonis
what's the next Mitzvah that comes right
after that the mitzvah
the Mitra of khala which you're all
familiar with
that when anybody baked a doe was ready
anybody needed a dough meaning they
mixed flour and water if there's a
certain volume of that dough they
separated a piece of that dough and it
went to the Cayenne the Kaya name who
did not make their own Revenue they
didn't have fields and they didn't
generate their own Revenue because they
were responsible for the spiritual
welfare of the Jewish people they served
in the base I make Thursday with
teachers they were mentors they were
pedagogues they were Educators they were
instructors and they were responsible
for the spiritual state of the base
amiced or of the mishkan so they were
given khala
and basically 24 families who baked
bread would support the khala of one
coins family because generally the is
that a woman who's baking a woman or a
man in the house was baking khala and
kneading the dough you give one of 24 a
24th so whatever the natural dough that
she's preparing 24 times that amount
would be the whole dose so it's
basically 24 families that would make up
for one family of a country they would
be able to have the bread and this was a
regular Mitzvah that was done on a
constant basis and the hiddish is it's
done even in hutzler it's outside
outside of Heritage Israel unlike other
unlike other things that are done only
trumas and meister's only inert Israel
today of course since khala is Holy and
it has to be eaten with purity
and even the kayanim don't have that
level of Purity so what's done today
with the dough that's separated it has
to be separated and we make a Brach on
it but what's done with it is it is
usually burnt or discarded in a
respectful way discard in a respectful
way that's the second image that comes
right after the spice
there's one more Mitzvah and that is the
Mitzvah all the way at the end of the
parsh when you look at this is there a
connection
right after the spies Libations of wine
Highland and cities
so to understand all of this
and then come back to what tribute told
us about the names we have to delve in
much deeper into understanding what the
real issue of the miraculum was
it's not like Maisha made a terrible
terrible mistake
and you know sometimes some of you know
this well in a you hear great
things about a family and you hear great
things about a Bacha you hear great
things about a girl and as I say in
English you realize you didn't end up
with an Esther you ended up with a lemon
this one didn't say the truth and this
one didn't tell the truth and this one
hid the truth and a year later whatever
I don't have to elaborate on this people
in this room know this situation better
than me but it happens sometimes and
it's very very sad it's painful and
sometimes people you know get into very
challenging and painful situations
because of this so it's not like
moisturabeno you know he thought he's
choosing twelve Australia and he
realized he ended up with 10 lemons
people personally the Toyota says that
they were prominent individuals the
Toyota says that they were leaders of
their tribes if they were leaders it
means they were people of renown and
distinction
so just to say that there were a bunch
of lowlifes and degenerates and they
just manipulated and exploited moishra
nabenu and camouflaged themselves
that's not to that's not a real logical
way of explaining it
foreign
who gives one of the most beautiful and
Powerful explanation of the spies not
only because it's so it resonates so
deeply but also because it's so relevant
and to put it in simple words is the
miraculum were not afraid of failure
they were actually afraid of success
the simple reading of the story is that
they were frightened of failure we would
go up
we're weak we're doomed our wives will
die our children will die we will die
this is a disaster let's go back to
Egypt better to live as a slave than to
die as a free human being
we don't need this this plan was
ill-conceived it's ill-fated
and that's it and this Rises the big
question come on a year ago you left
Egypt remember the miraglan was sent on
the 29th of seven
the anniversary is coming up next Sunday
is when the miraculum was sent they were
there for 40 days they came back to
shebot the night of Tish above and
that's the night the Jews were crying
this was a year and two months and
change from when they left Egypt they
left egyptus one year later the first
anniversary plus two months and a few
days they were sent
so the Miracles they saw
and they were living with
happening that day and you Jesus time
just happened a year early pancreas yams
of and Martin Luther
and they were there
what really happened with the miraculum
was they weren't afraid of failure they
were afraid of success
they told the Jews what they told them
but the motivation behind what they told
them was they were actually frightened
of success
now psychologically this is a marvelous
Insight before I explain it
because we know that people are afraid
of failure we don't always think about
the fact that sometimes people are
afraid of being successful
one second I'll explain
I understand I'm afraid of failure is it
possible that I'm also afraid of success
and therefore I undermine what I'm doing
in case I might be successful now why
would anybody be afraid of success
let's think what success would look like
what was their life like in the mid bar
what was their life in the desert like
just think about it
[Laughter]
it was it was literally
talk about yeah
talk about living in Paradise
this was a Life in Paradise physically
they were in a desert
but that's just the reality of the
geography the way it was before they
entered in terms of their life
they were eating every day Mana from
heaven
to the point that gazal say it was the
only food
that was all of it was healthy
our body breaks down every piece of food
and the body right away knows this goes
into the bloodstream this becomes fat we
won't talk about that and this needs to
get expelled from the body because
there's no nutritious benefit for the
body
uh
uh what
yeah of course of course that's the man
like Silas it was Heavenly Brethren
Heavenly bread there was nothing in it
that had to be expelled from the body
in other words the food was fully
integrated
it was created the healthiest lifestyle
physically and emotionally
they drank water from a Wellspring which
was miraculous the Wellspring of Miriam
they were surrounded by Clouds Of Glory
they sat at the feet of moisturabeno and
Aaron the greatest prophet and leader
who ever lived
and learned title directly from Maisha
communicating it directly from the
Rebellion Islam for the master over the
world the Clouds Of Glory made their
Journey Serene and tranquil
there was no bills to pay no tuition
no mortgages
no laundry even
very good
so literally their existence was
transcendental they were living in the
heaven literally a Heavenly Oasis souls
and bodies no generation before that no
generation after that experienced us
they knew we're going to go with
territorial it's going to be a success
story and what's going to happen
everything is going to change
first thing is no man we're going to be
plowing
and planting and harvesting and reaping
and threshing and winnowing and
selecting and grinding and kneading and
baking I just went through the system of
what your great-grandmother did in the
stetal
before you went to the supermarket and
bought your sourdough Hollow
besides that you have to create an
infrastructure there's an army and
there's a government and there's
municipalities and you have to run
cities and run countries
and all of the daily pressures of The
Daily Grind become part of reality
and this is the plan
and this the miraculum we're afraid of
what's going to happen to the Jewish
people
they may actually lose
their entire Divine Touch one of the
fascinating expressions of the Mirage
Israel is
it's a land that eats up its inhabitants
what does it mean how does a country eat
up its inhabitants Eric and what does it
even mean
and one of the interpretations is
this interpretation is when we eat
something it becomes part of us the food
that I eat becomes part of me it doesn't
look like food a few minutes later and a
few hours later it's part of my
bloodstream so what we eat literally
becomes part of our blood part of our
bones part of our flesh part of our
circulatory system part of our physical
body
means this is a land on Earth that eats
up those who live there what happens if
the land eats them up what do they
become they become part of the errats
that's what food is
they become food of Earth in other words
they become earthy Earthly
and they feared in the mid bar
it wasn't just you spoke about Hashem
you spoke about godliness you spoke
about spirituality this was life
the physical world was a mirror of of
divine reality they saw that
which means the Divine energy vibrating
everything vibrating in the world
this was a reality suddenly you know it
is wrong
the danger is that the physical
pressures and daily hustle and grind of
Life are going to completely eliminate
this sensitivity this ability this power
and they said to themselves we got to be
crazy
to go to go into this land
so in other words it's because of their
spiritual sensitivity it's because of
because of their spiritual greatness
it's because of their tremendous love
for the relationship that is so powerful
with their own souls and with Hashem
that they refuse to go on Texas so they
wanted to do everything to stay in the
desert yeah
well that's what makes it a cat what
makes it a sin is not that they did the
right thing they did the wrong thing
but there are different types of sins
there are grotesque sins and there are
noble sins
this was what you would call a more
noble sin
it was a sin why was it a sin
it seems like a very beautiful ambition
and craving a person is asking to live
in an oasis of transcendence and of
Oneness and of spirituality it's even
hard for us to understand what they were
experiencing because we live with
concealment we live with so many
blockages we live with so many cover-ups
it's almost like they were put back into
grenadin and now you want to throw me
out of grenadin again
that's what they were asking for wasn't
it
if you say they were just rabble rousers
I understand but according to this
it certainly coincides with their
greatness but where's the sin
uh
-huh
now let's understand something even more
let's understand something here
the truth is it's hard to give a class
to women about the Hat of the spies you
know what no I'm serious
no no you know why right
huh because because the women were not
part of it Rashi says clearly
Rashi says that the women were not part
of it
the women were not they did not they did
not agree with their husbands who went
into hysteria they said Relax it's going
to be wonderful and they all live to go
and tear it to Strong
not only that the clayaka writes the
opening of
send men to you what's to you so the
clyorker says if you ask me God says you
send only women
he lived in the 1600s this is not a
feminist interpretation of 2023
the clayo was the rub of Prague
in the 16. this is what he says
I know you one who send men if you ask
me do not send men
there's a danger there maybe they'll do
well but I'm telling you send the women
and everything will be fine it's
interesting Moshe sent men and that's
the end of that story
so the very fact that you're
you're rebelling against my class is a
very good sign
because that's what happened a few
thousand years ago okay just just
realize so history history what do they
say repeats itself and the circle is
always complete so thank you
I remember I was once teaching in
Yeshiva we were learning track they saw
him about pesach
so the first missioner says that before
pesach you have to check the comments
so the commentary Isis explains that
really minatira you could be Movado
Comet meaning you could just make it
onerless to clear it owner listen then
you could leave it in the house so Tyson
says so why did the hazard make Jews so
exhausted that they have to physically
clean from the comments good question
right and he answers because since
people are used to eating hummus a whole
year so they wouldn't physically clean
out their house people might come to eat
it they come down there's a piece of uh
cheesecake right
and it's there I may come to eat it so
one of the boys in the class I still
remember he he jumped up he says that's
ridiculous nobody's gonna eat it
nobody's gonna eat it I said look you
see that scream that's how you say they
were successful
you see your your shout out that's
that's that that's why they did because
comments so that you should say it's
impossible imagine if the preparations
would consist of 10 seconds of making
your helmet's owner list it wouldn't be
ingrained
and people and you wouldn't be able to
scream that way so it's like the story
in Hallam they had a debate in hell and
what's more important the son of the
Moon
so they had a long uh convention about
it and they debated it for seven days
and the conclusion was that the Moon is
far more significant because the sun
shines when you don't need it The Sun
Shines during daytime who needs the Sun
but the Moon
the moon you need because the moon
shines at night okay so that's just my
my commentary on what's Happening Here
in this class
yeah
maybe we should bring in a few men and
they'll understand what
oh
yeah okay good good question I'm getting
there mama is a moment
but I just want to add one detail that's
important to understand this when we
speak about godliness or we speak about
we speak about spirituality often we
speak about it intellectually
but that's not what that generation was
like
it wasn't an intellectual experience it
was a somatic experience
it was in the body in the nervous system
it was like I relate to the physical
that's what it means by harcina they saw
what is usually heard and they heard
what is usually sin what's it what does
it mean you hear what you see and you
see what you hear
they saw sounds how do you see sound
[Music]
the difference between seeing and
hearing is
seeing is only physical reality
I can't see Transcendence I can't see
spirituality I can hear about it meaning
Hearing in terms of understanding
doesn't only mean here it's like do you
hear me do you get me do you understand
me
they saw what is usually heard meaning
that which is usually heard that which
is abstract they saw it was Vivid it was
in the body it was in the nervous system
it was a somatic experience
the experience of Oneness the experience
of hashem's reality wasn't we learn
about it we do things there is ritual we
believe it there's texts about it no it
was it was it was an intimate experience
like something you see that's what it
means they saw what is usually hurt
and that's a whole completely different
type of experience it was visceral it
was as real as it gets
it's a whole different type of
yiddishkite a Yiddish guy that remains
intellectual God remains a concept if
God is a concept it's not God it's a
concept math is a concept it's a subject
godliness is not a concept
the miragulum had that in the mid bar it
wasn't something that they worked for
this was reality
so therefore
therefore
they wanted to remain in the midboard
under all costs
actually so they were to go work
they would have to go work of course
it's not it's not just the physical
pressure it's not laziness
it's not laziness I have to get up in
the morning and go to work in the
midboard they also weren't lazy they
worked in the midboard it's a different
type of work
exactly losing attachment
you're in the womb the gemara says
there's no days as happy for a person as
in the womb of its mother
the Zoya says the child sees the world
and starts crying
the fetus comes out it starts crying
why do we call it a sin
we call it a sin
because the famous statement in the
madrish that the whole purpose of
creation was otherwise
Nissan
the whole purpose of creation was not to
escape heaven and Ascend to Earth
but to bring Heaven down to earth
to transform
the very body of the person the very
animal consciousness of the person the
very physical landscape of reality
and not just the physical landscape the
emotional landscape of reality I live in
a world of concealment I live in a world
of blockages I live in a world where
it's often even hard for me to see my
own spirituality it's so easy to get
distracted it's so easy to get wounded
it's a world where we get broken and we
shut down from our own inner core
Infinity
and when the person works that through
and reveals that light of the Divine
inside the darkness
not by fear but with the confidence
that the areas is not a healthy as
Yeshua and said the other way around we
will eat up the Earth
the Earth will become part of Heaven
the physicality will become an extension
of divine Oneness
this is the whole purpose of creation
so the the debate between the spies in
Yeshua and Khalif it's not a small
debate it's a debate that still
continues in the Jewish World in many
different ways
of course in order to be able to go into
the land and remain connected a person
needs to have moments and hours when you
can go into the desert
that's why we don't jump right into a
child is raised in a cocoon of Holiness
in order to be able to grow up and take
on the world
even as an adult
according to Yiddish when we wake up in
the morning first we need to
spend some time in a cocoon of Oneness
of Holiness the first thing I do when I
wake up is I start checking my emails
it's a disaster because we get schlepped
down right away into stresses person
needs to be able to
is a crib where we sleep a bed gracious
it says the first moments when I get out
of bed
a person needs to dedicate it to a space
of kadusha you have to Anchor yourself
in that to then be able to confront the
land and then instead of the land eating
me up
which is very easy to happen because
a person it's you I could get so
fragmented and so scattered and so
frazzled and be bogged down and
especially when there's painful and
difficult situations during the day the
person could just go into a place of
numbing I just need to numb everything
just to be able to feel good rather than
functioning from a place of centeredness
and inner spiritual core the person now
becomes a victim
of different realities that just pop out
on me and confront me
but what's the ultimate purpose the
ultimate purpose is I don't have to run
away
from any of elements of my own Darkness
or my own Brokenness or my own wounds on
the contrary
means to be able to bring in the light
of infinity and the light of Oneness
meaning in the lowest element of reality
that was the whole purpose of creation
the midboard was a preparation
it's like a child says I'm staying in
the womb for the rest of my life
you need to be in the womb don't leave
the womb too early I don't have to talk
about that in this room
but the to remain in utero for the rest
of the rest of my life to remain
pregnant the person remains pregnant
with potential the point is to actualize
it
God will tell much says the power of
talmud is that it brings today mice
and in every person it may translate
itself into a different element but the
point real Yiddish kite is not afraid of
the physical world
it's not afraid of physical reality it's
not afraid of an emotional reality it's
not afraid of struggle and challenge
we need to be equipped to be able to
deal with it
and the greatest the greatest tool is
the confidence and the faith in the
fortitude of the Soul which is
to be able to bring the light into the
darkness
and that's why
that's why
essentially you see a fascinating thing
it looks like Hashem just got angry at
the whole generation you're all gonna
die out in the desert but understand
they lived 40 years in the desert with
Mana every day
with water for Miriam's well every day
with the Clouds Of Glory so it's like
after this whole terrible story for 40
years Hashem
produced for their miracles 24 7. really
they're such Sinners you hate them so
much they rebelled
it wasn't so push it
AKA said you're not going to go and take
Israel but essentially they got what
they wanted
they remained there
the rest of the generation remained
there
it's interesting it says in Zohar that
the reason that the Mirage came back
with such a bad report is because they
knew that over there they won't be the
leaders
here they're the leaders so this fasama
says it doesn't make sense it's really
about nepotism it's really about power
power struggle for that they're ready to
derail the whole history of the Jewish
people so I should be the leader I mean
that's that takes a lot of khutzpah
that's pretty disgusting
imagine you know that the entire Cloud
Israel can reach their Redemptive place
but you're gonna be in a different
position again women won't even
understand this question
so because of that go to therapy I don't
know go find another leadership job
Grace
ask Alan musk for a job because this is
not what you have to do
swasama says beautifully based on this
doesn't mean physically they would lose
their leadership it means that the mid
by the Jewish people were all on a level
of rush says
they want a level of head and over there
they were afraid they would lose their
head they would become on a level of
regular
is aware of it's a seat of Consciousness
the foot doesn't have the same level of
Consciousness there's a person who lives
on a level where there's a consciousness
of what the world really is
and then there's a world person who
lives in a more numb place that's what
they were afraid they were afraid the
whole generation is going to lose the
level of Rush coulomb
and that's why right after the story of
the spies there's three Mitzvahs which
Mitzvah wine Libations
what's that
there were three gifts that they had in
the midboard that they didn't want to
let go of what were the three gifts the
food from heaven
in fact there are many Flint that is not
fully nutritious the man was I said was
pure pure pure not an not an Iota not a
not a drop of toxicity
then you had the water The Well of
Miriam and then you had ananya covered
the clouds of Glory
it's all going to be gone you're not
going to be living in the clouds pun
intended
you know you say he's living in the
clouds that's exactly how they were
living
and then I don't want to I don't want to
not live in clouds I want to live in the
clouds you know you see sometimes
they're living in the clouds
they said why should we ever stop that
we don't want to leave the clouds
so the three Mitzvahs in schlach are the
Mitzvahs that explain what's the purpose
corresponds to the man
it's not bread from Heaven it's bread
from Earth but what are you going to do
with this bread from Earth you're gonna
sow you're gonna plow and you're gonna
plant then you're gonna Harvest
and you're gonna thresh and window and
select then ultimately grind the kernels
and make flour and mix it with water and
then you're gonna take part of this
dough and tarimal Hashem it's going to
become but how through your efforts
through the Earthly bread much deeper
than the man
in the physical bread that I created I
make a Divine through challah
and the same is true with the wine
this is
Miriam you have to plant grapes plant a
Vine and you have a cluster of grapes
and you take the grapes and you crush
the grapes and you produce wine and you
ferment the wine and then part of this
wine becomes a carbon
and the whole wine is Holy wine
and then the chitsus because I'll say
that in the Titans they had the blue
thread the trailers the turquoise thread
what's the point of the trellis it's
Diamond it looks like the sea
which reminds you of the heaven which
reminds you of the kisser covet
so that sitsus is a replacement of that
the clouds of Glory
that produce that surrounded them that
protected them
that's why it says in sits us at the end
of Allah
and it's why men have the cities
to this reason I'd explain to you
they usually feed the family
the ananya covered the protection
the men need it just like the minion the
whole source of a minion comes from the
miragulum you know that
ten how do we know a minion is 10 people
it says
God calls them a Bad Minion a bad
community
so every minion is trying to correct
the sin of the miragulum
that's why women don't join a minion
because they weren't part of it they
don't need a minion to correct the sin
of the Mirage
when men ten men get together they
create a double
shabigla wanted to be holy but they
didn't want to leave holiness
so that
so it surrounds and protects the person
to be able to integrate the spiritual
with the physical
so these three Mitzvahs were the way of
telling the Jewish people
that you don't have to be afraid of
Eric's law you don't have to be afraid
of the field you don't have to be afraid
of your kitchen you don't have to be
afraid of the responsibilities and the
pressures of you don't even have to be
afraid of the inner turbulence
on the contrail you have to be able to
have the confidence and the faith and
the realization that you have the tools
that you have the tools
to be able to not just confront it not
just to triumph over it but to actually
transform it
now according to this
we could come back
to the names
we'll see how it's now all in the names
ake says we have a tradition
that the miragulum were given names
based on their actions
and even though we have this tradition
but one tradition passed on to us
why
because each of the spies had his own
struggle
but the point of all of it that had to
be passed down to us that we have to
know today is one nikuda and that's the
name
it's not that he couldn't expound the
other names he could have expounded the
other names but the reason one the
reason he did or according to the other
interpretation the reason why one
tradition was passed on to us only one
name is because this is what's most
relevant to us today
foreign
what does it mean he demolished the work
of Hashem whether he demolish the work
of Asha but now we could understand this
Hashem built the world
and he built the world which is a
physical world
and it's a world in which they can be
Brokenness and Trauma and even evil and
Corruption
and a world in which there can be
confusion and darkness
but he gave the person a mission and the
mission is you
reformat you redesign you rebuild the
world you create What's called the
Madrid schools
we create a home for Hashem in the
reality in our hearts in our homes and
our souls and our brains
in our emotions in and in our
environment our physical home our place
of work and everybody has their corner
of the world where they build
they take a world and they fashion it
into an abode for the divine
what does it mean I fashioned it into an
abode for the divine
it means that during the day through the
person's thoughts and words and most
important actions
they literally took all the aspects of
their life and it becomes a place in
which the truth is revealed in which
Ultimate Reality the Oneness of infinity
is manifested
and every Mitzvah every action of a
mitzvah
is one aspect of repairing that world of
turning it into that dear that Abode
Russia
the miraculum wanted to remain in the
mid bar the word midbar is also
connected to the word Deborah in the mid
bar the main avoida was not Misa action
the main avoida was
words and even more Consciousness
thoughts because that's what their
spiritual existence looked like because
they didn't have and they weren't
enmeshed and entangled with a physical
reality very little
almost nothing it was all provided like
from heaven like I said they were in the
womb can Aiden have cast
he had a son-in-law right
and his father-in-law had a PhD which
means Papa has dough and he sat in in
his father-in-law's house and he was
supposed to learn all day and he didn't
have to worry about anything
till his father said enough is enough
cast so the main avoider was avoided in
in in in the deepest spiritual
experiences it's mashava it's
consciousness
those who are a little bit familiar with
the world of meditation and the world of
transcendence
know that there's a moment when a person
can experience The Godly nature of
reality the ego melts there's a death of
ego and there's a sense of Oneness with
infinity there's no I
you know it's Israel they would have to
step away from that because there is
involvement I have to go to the field
and I have to plow
but over there is maisa
when the miraglam refused to do this it
Sasa myself
I leave the world a destroyed place
instead of rebuilding the physical world
into adirabitat it's awesome
I leave the world at to start the place
a demolished place
or as the gemara says even more this
says in your xiaomi that a generation
that doesn't rebuild the basamiktas some
things when I don't rebuild it
it's like I destroyed it so when I don't
rebuild the world
I just let it be destroyed it's like an
active part of myself I'm doing salsa
myself
he says that's the nakuda that a person
has a responsibility to rebuild the
world rebuild my world
a person's power is to be able to make
and this was
how can this happen
how could such a thing happen
if Hashem wants
how can a person's power or choice
or fear or insecurity stop it
this is his father's name
he made Hashem poor what does this mean
it's really a very profound idea
Hashem allowed himself
to become to appear weak in order to be
able to give the human being the choice
and the creativity to Fashion the world
so Hashem
made himself kevayakal appear weak this
is the concept known in Kabbalah he
concealed his infinite imposing presence
so it allows a human being the arena of
creativity and choice
if hashem's Infinity would be fully
manifested
so then
there's no taxes
there's nothing outside of him the fact
is that Hashem concealed himself what
does it mean you concealed yourself you
hold back your Infinity so it looks like
it's an independent world that's why the
miraglan was so afraid of Eric's Israel
and that's the idea when they said we
cannot go in there to Israel because
it's more powerful than him
what did they mean
come on
how could you speak such rubbish and
nonsense to that generation they knew
better
you left Egypt they were saying
something very deep
this is what they were saying listen to
what they were saying they knew about
Simon they weren't a bunch of jokers how
could you stand up to a whole generation
four million Jews who saw ten plagues
who left Egypt who were being fed by The
Man Who Saw Korea who stood at our Sinai
and heard gods of God's voice what are
you talking about
I understand today somebody gets up and
says these things fine
but then
what they were saying is as follows we
know that Hashem can do whatever he
wants it's his world
he's not afraid of the 31 there were 31
Empires there were 31 tribes in out
Israel 31 little Nations that had to
conquer he's not afraid of them he's not
afraid of Pate he's not afraid of the
canine
if he's God he's God
what the miraculum was saying is
something else I understand when we left
with when we went into the desert over
there Hashem is running the show through
Miracles that I get
but an artist Israel Hashem is telling
us clearly I'm not going to run it
through Miracles anymore we're going to
be working through the mechanisms of
nature you're not going to go out in the
morning and see the bread coming down
from the ceiling right into your kitchen
counter on a golden platter and say
Kindle the mom came down go eat
breakfast
the laundry is not going to happen on
its own
somebody does it your kids don't know
that but tell them
somebody's doing it
in the midboard it's a miracle but in
Israel he's running the world alpiteva
so this was their taina this is what
they were saying I understand if Hashem
is running the world through Miracles
you can do whatever he wants he could
take us out of Egypt but in there it's
Israel where he says I want you to
navigate life through the medium of
nature if we're following nature then we
have to think about it from an Earthly
and natural perspective a philadelph
if you make a system
and you say we're all following the
system he's not going to come and change
the system every day
let's say I'm planting there's no rain
okay it'll grow without rain he made a
system he's also so to speak a victim of
that system if that's a system that's a
system
made himself poor he made himself
incompetent so to speak he made himself
in a position where it's not all
Infinity where it's working through
mechanisms of nature I need a doctor I
need a lawyer I have to get a job I have
to find a way to work out peteva you
can't have it both ways you can't have
the cake and eat it too
[Laughter]
[Music]
not that there won't be Miracles but the
natural day-to-day life is going to be
based up they said even the balabayas
then he limited himself what was the
mistake
the mistake was not that an artist's
role that won't be but true there was to
have an artistro
the mistake was
to differentiate
between Miracles and nature
huh
yeah nature doesn't mean
that it's not divine
it means that the Divine is acting
through the mechanisms of nature
and that's why there was such a
distinction between the male gender and
the female gender
because one of the differences
between the soul of man and woman is
exactly in this area
the male soul
gravitates towards spiritual fulfillment
through experiences of transcendence
the female has the Keener ability to be
able to perceive it within the Earth
and that's why the Mitzvah of khala
even though it's very Jew but it was
precisely given to the woman
the magala mukha says based on August
the name Khana shmuel's mother's
and he says
that's why by these three times women
pray like she prayed for her child
shmuel
so when they bake khala and when the
middle of the Mikvah and when they like
chabas candles
was the quintessential yiddishamama
who gave birth to shmuel who was
equivalent to my channel
and all these three things what they
what do they represent
khalo represents bread all they need
bread used to be the main food today I
know people don't eat bread anymore
because we have a lot of other Foods you
know we have danishes but
and lasagna and steak every night but
Amal Hollow was that's how you lived you
couldn't live without bread couldn't go
to Evergreen Uptown downtown Middletown
and have everywhere food endlessly you
lived with grain people that's how they
lived so it represents all the needs of
a person but it's bread from Earth
need does the world of intimacy
the world of intimacy is a world that
represents the physical Cravings of a
person
that's why there's a certain religion we
won't get into we're priests I have to
be celibate segregation
and then there's
which is representing the casting of
light on the world
Illuminating the world Illuminating the
darkness before electricity Friday night
it would be dark in the house
so the woman has that Keen ability to
reveal the Oneness between Miracles and
nature it's not a separate thing the
Mirage believed heaven is heaven Earth
is Earth
in a desert in Paradise they have
Oneness but I'm out in the field
sweating I'm dealing with bread I'm
dealing with tuition I'm dealing with
mortgage and I'm dealing with my own
stuff where's the godliness here
but that's based
on the idea that the Simpson is real
that God made himself tackle weak and
frail and he withdrew and he says sorry
it's off limits the world is off limits
to me come to Heaven you'll meet me
there
what they fail to understand was that
Infinity doesn't have to look like
Infinity it could look finite
light doesn't always have to look like
light sometimes it could look like
Darkness
spirituality doesn't always look
spiritual it could also look physical
the miraculous doesn't have to look like
a miracle it could look like nature in a
way that's a deeper Miracle because it
expresses Infinity with infiniteness
unlimitedness within limitations there's
no Two Worlds there's no two Duality and
that's why it says when Maisha prayed
for hashaya his his student he changed
his name to yahushua
foreign
Hashem should save you from the scheme
of the spies
so he added you then hey his name was
the idea
the Gomorrah Judes
says that the managers that the Islam
was created with ayud alum has it was
created with a hey
what did Maisha do he brought together
and Yeshua that you're in the hey
that SAS miraglam was that there's two
separate realities
to come down into Earth
's name is you don't hate together
you didn't ate together means there's no
Two Worlds it's one world it's one
reality
nature is also a miracle the fact that
Hashem made a structure doesn't mean
it's less divine
the fact that I have to work through and
find godliness within my reality and
within my limitations and often within
my Brokenness and my darkness people
have things that they have to work
through
it doesn't mean God is there less it
means that here I get to reveal it
within a different reality within a
reality of nature within a reality of
Darkness it's you and hate together
that's the khala and then the sacraments
so Sur
when a Jew disengages you destroy myself
I'm supposed to build the world and I
destroy the world where I let it remain
demolished
I believe that
he made himself poor he withdrew himself
he's weak and now suddenly oh I have to
be scared of nature
but the mistake was you don't have to be
scared of it
wherever you are you're
saying is Messenger enough to be scared
of anything
but that idea that he made himself mock
he made himself weak that allows for
this type of choice it allows for this
type of creativity it allows for the
person to be able to be determined and
decisive and flex their muscles and
surface as a partner with Hashem in
building the world says that a person is
a co-partner in creation well I'm a
co-partner in creation when I created
something I can't create a mosquito if I
wanted to I wouldn't want to but I can't
anyway
apparently God wants
even if all the people of the world and
history come together they wouldn't be
able to create One Wing of one mosquito
so I once said this over they said oh
synthetically you can
I say do it from nothingness don't do it
synthetically don't take a pre-existing
material
from a non-existing universe you don't
even get gas or bacteria or helium or
Prebiotic soup from absolute nothingness
you create me the wing of a mosquito
good luck
with all of our technology and
artificial intelligence that has not
been done yet you take pre-existing
material yes that's the valtic that's
yashmiesh it's not yes so what does it
mean we're partners with Hashem and
building a world we're not partners
were recipients but that's not the word
you are a partner
because either two partners is each one
does what the other partner doesn't do
Hashem created a world
he created The Brute material of the
world
but the building of that world the
fashioning of it into it this is the
human being does
I'm the only one who could actually take
and find my own Infinity and bring it in
to my confusion and bring it in to my
darkness and bring it in to my difficult
and despondent moments whether it's my
depression or my anxiety or my setbacks
or my failures
and says
and here is the last point
in order to be able to hold on to this
and not make this mistake we have to add
one more detail and that's
what was he hid the words of God
what does it mean he hid the words of
God
is saying is a fascinating idea
it says in veracious Hashem created the
world through words
through 10 utterances he created the
world so he said let there be light he
said let there be a firmament Let There
Be vegetation let there be the Sun and
the Moon the galaxies Let There Be
animals Birds fish Let There Be man NASA
Adams
in other words what is the underlying
chemistry of the universe words
I used to say that's what doesn't tell
him
[Applause]
used to think okay
it says I'll say it we believe them
today how the science describe the
underlying
physical reality of every living thing
they use the word DNA what is
essentially DNA DNA are called letters
they're chemicals but they're programmed
literally like a computer program with
sequences of letters
in other words if I can un unravel the
outer layers of the world you come and
you find words
you find a program it's fascinating we
look at the world as just pure gosh me
the deeper you go you find letters you
find Isis if you go even deeper you find
dwar Hashem at the letters of Hashem
but by hiding those words when I don't
see the words underlying the world so
then I say Miracles are Miracles and
nature is nature there's two worlds of
the world of light there's the world of
Darkness there's heaven and this Earth
this is
a body
when you're in the summer okay that's
heaven but when I'm in my body
and when I'm in this in the experience
of my body that's a whole different
world that I'm afraid of there's no
connection
it comes because he hid the words
but if a person looks at everything and
understands and tries to reveal the
world words it's a different world
there's nothing outside of Oneness of
actus Hashem and that's what it says
if you say something in the name of the
one who said it you don't plagiarize you
redeem the world what does that mean so
one of the most marvelous
interpretations is
everything in the world
has something is something that is said
by Hashem to make it exist what do we
say in the morning
in fact in Hebrew we use the same word
for a word and a thing
why because everything is really a word
Dover is deeper
what does it mean
if you can identify in every Dover and
everything shame Roy the one who says it
the one who brings it into existence
through words
which means concealment
is to conceal why is Islam concealment
why don't we have a nicer name for the
world it's really the most beautiful
name it tells you
that the world could conceal reality my
outer self could conceal my inner self
my old pain and my trauma can conceal
Who I Really Am
I don't know who I am I become detached
but if um
if you can identify in everything the
one who spoke speaks it into existence
says that creation happens every moment
which means not like Hashem gave a
speech once
the words are constantly vibrating from
their source
so now when I'm eating let's say a piece
of food any piece of food
and I can really
I mean I'm not going to say I can see
with myself I can't see it with my eyes
you have to unless your eyes are
microscopically spiritual if you have
spiritually microscopic eyes that's the
Google but generally it's we can't say
we see it with our eyes but if somebody
is sensitive to the fact
that the Divine energy is what's making
this food exist at this moment it's
divine words I don't hide the words I
expose the words
so now there's a respect for it
I can't just be comfortable gobbling it
up and being Glutton is respect
it's a respect for the food it's a
respect for whatever I'm dealing with
it's a self-respect that then gives you
a respect for everything around you
you're dealing with a Divine reality
you're dealing with Divine energy
what do I have to do to get over this
hide the words and that sometimes what
happens I take a piece of food what
words move words just I'm just hungry
and I want to run away from my pain just
eat it I'm not respecting
the words that are in it I hide them I
make believe they don't existence
yeah
that's the idea of the brother
why did they make that everything came
into existence through his word bidwara
so when I identify in every Dover the
Hashem you redeem the world you rebuild
the world you redeem this Islam you
become a co-partner to Hashem and
creation
and the last thing he says is a buffsy
what causes me to hide the words
so he says
he jumps over on hashem's middles what
does this mean
in order to be able to live a life with
such alignment
a human being needs to have some source
of inspiration
Midas are generally emotions the
person's emotions are called Midas
the reason they're called me though is
means measurements sizes like amida
because you size up a person a person's
Meda is basically their emotional being
their emotional disposition that's the
human personality
that's how we connect to people in an
internal way
a person's midice
come from
how do you connect to him so it says
for a person to be able to live a life
in such alignment I can't skip over
meaning if a person is just in a robotic
state if I'm not inspired it's very very
difficult to live this way because I
just want to survive and when you want
to survive
whenever I'm in a survival mode we
always deal with the superficiality of
it think about raising children if
parents on our survival mode I can't
think about the depth of what my child
needs and who my child is I'm just
trying to survive
it's 10 o'clock I'm about to
lose it
I'm just trying to survive it's very
hard to connect
to a deeper element of a person when
we're in survival mode only when a
person is in a more expansive mode you
will understand what I'm saying right
too well
now it's not always easy I haven't slept
last night you're working a whole day we
have to respect the fact that we're
human beings
but the more we can respect and have
empathy for that we know that in certain
situations there's not a time to make
decisions it's not a time to tell my
children what I think about them
because this is not the time I'm not in
that place I have to take a shower I
have to go to sleep I have to drink a
cup of tea after exercise whatever I
needed my vitamins every person needs to
know how to become aligned but there's a
whole different relationship when I'm on
the line when you're feeling yourself
when you're in a deeper place of me dice
my decisions are different my
self-respect is different the way I talk
the way I connect the way I reach out
the way even I answer an email the way I
answer a text the way even I eat
something everything is different
because it comes from a place of
awareness of mindfulness of sensitivity
I hide the words of Hashem which means I
ignore the depth of reality because
because when a person doesn't have
that connection to their own Meadows to
be able to be inspired by hashem's
middles which means the middle of Ava
the middle of year the sense of love and
awe of gratitude of appreciation when
I'm just in survival mode I'm like an
insect
in neurology it would be
I'm just in my amygdala you know that
amygdala the stem of the brain is trying
to survive
I I can't I'm not in my limbic brain I'm
certainly not in my prefrontal cortex
it's normal I didn't sleep for two days
and I have the flu and I have a migraine
headache and the cleaning lady quit and
I'm making the Chevy blockers tonight
and there's 20 people who coming for
Shabbos okay I got it I got it
so Pisa in a person has to nose these
limits it's not a challenge that we have
limits it's when we ignore them but we
make believe they don't exist and this
was the mistake of them around them they
don't understand you could be aware of
limits
and instead of the limits limiting you
the limits become an opportunity to grow
for the miragulum if we go into a
limited World we're doomed you want to
be successful remain in an unlimited
world that's not yiddishkite for that
Hashem enough to create the world
the world pre-creation was all Infinity
the whole Hindus of creation is the
partnership of a human being what we
contribute is
in a world of finiteness we bring in
Infinity
so therefore in summation reviews
he demolished hashem's world when you
don't rebuild the world through
maisa the world remains spiritually
destroyed chaotic
my inner World remains chaotic how can
that happen because McCall
because Hashem made himself weak and
when we exercise that free choice and we
believe in that weakness
so then we're afraid of a world and
we're afraid of our own world says in
order to achieve this we have to add
don't hide the words see the words and
everything how for that you need don't
skip over the Midas when a person
cultivates an inner relationship an
inner connection that's so important for
a person to take time to be able to
develop your inner relationship my inner
connection not to be robotic not to just
do things by rote because then it's
stripped from from Death from from depth
from he was from vitality
a person needs to be able to sustain
themselves spiritually Inspire them be
nice
and then when I walk around the world I
look for the words I identify the words
I don't want to live in a petty
superficial world I want to live in a
real world in an authentic World in a
world that's alive everything is
bustling with energy every leaf is alive
every grain of sand is alive every
droplet of water is alive it's alive
Adam
and tell us this is the formula to be
able to repair
this world and build it into that which
was hashem's dream have a wonderful
wonderful week
next week there is a class regular time
Tuesday morning 9 30. huh
the plan is 9 30.
okay I'll give it over to my wife
you're welcome thank you for coming
yeah
oh okay
yes
did I answer your question a little bit
hopefully no huh no okay
um
frail
sounds
good question yeah
the answer is
this is part of a cassette the fact that
Hashem so to speak
it appears that his energy is limited
allows for human free choice and human
accomplishment so there's a power in
that depends what I do with that
you could use the mark in a way that it
motivates the person to fill in the gaps
this is with a huff
yeah
thank you
could be my face I don't remember
yeah thank you
no I just have to come early
with the copies I usually
no problem yeah
they traveled
no no no when they travel they didn't
light
right so when the Michigan was in one
place he would light them in order every
evening but then when the cloud went up
and it was time to travel they would
pack up the manure and all the other
vessels and they would move they put out
the fire but they weren't they would
have to put out the fire okay okay yeah
of course
no no they would pack up the vessels in
the end of parsh is my midboard it says
how they would pack up the vessels and
they would transport it and then they
didn't it wasn't lit
I did see an opinion once I have to look
it up maybe there's another opinion but
I have to look it up but according to
the literal interpretation it was not
lit
and they would just transport it
a lot of continuation to last week
have a wonderful day
