2 Short words of Torah for Lag B'Omer from Yoboneh

[Music] can predict one another more than fire and water this is basically the very the most fundamental question the most fundamental problem that all religions in the world have tried to resolve human beings are the only creatures in the world that have this inner contradiction within them all other creatures are either entirely spiritual or entirely physical the only creature that has the combination of both spiritual and physical is a human being now it's not just a contradiction it's the contradiction because each part strives for something opposite than the other as one of the famous commentators of Sophia's aura says the spiritual the the soul in the Shema desires to give whereas the body desires to receive now you can't do both you can either give or receive so it's only a human being that has these two opposite desires within him on one side you want to give and the other side you want to receive your body wants to receive your soul wants to give so what do most people do most people simply ignore this contradiction kind of a little schizophrenic at the time that we indulge everybody with something we receive at a time we let our soul flourish we we give but all all religions on earth have tried to find the way for a person to be consistent and to have all these actions and all these deeds one way of course the preferable way is to give to have the soul rule over the body but what's the solution to them no other religion besides Judaism have found that the right answer look at the Catholic priests they try to avoid physicality we all know what they do behind the different scenes look at the Muslims they they're not allowed to drink wine they can't even touch a bottle of wine but they do other things maybe inwards so the right solution for this contradiction is lamb pancetta shinty the shrimp tu means and I could speak about this a long time but I'll tell you one short explanation - this means that a person should take his will to receive to take the will of the body to receive and have an intention to receive in order to give and once you have that intention to receive and and anything you receive you have the intention in order to give so then a reception in order to give is giving and then you're consistent everything it is just giving when your soul gives something you give it when your body takes something since you take it in order to give you're also giving and that's a holy person a person that takes whatever it takes from this world in order to give that's holiness now it sound might sound simple but it's not that obvious because you could receive in order to give but it could also give in order to receive and that might be a little confusing I I can tell you that my mother should live in the world always complains that there are some charity organizations that when they want you to donate something to them they tell you if you donate this amount you'll get this gift you don't need that amount to get that gift so she said why do they have to waste their money waste their money their budget and buy gift for the donors if the donors want to give they don't want to receive it we want to give but apparently some organizations found out that some people might not give if they don't receive so such a person only gives the donation because it receives a gift that's giving in order to receive so when not sure if that's pure giving that's given order to receive there's also reception in order to give them that's the best thing as the Kamala tells about the Midler says about Hillel the elder a little once after the lecture when outside is the students accompany Liam and the asking rabbi where are you going is said to do a mitzvah so they asked him what was very going to do says I'm going to to bathe myself at a bathhouse so they wondered that's a mitzvah to bathe in a bathhouse he said yes if they even the the statues of kings they appoint people to clean them and to tell to beautify them so how much were so the man that was created in God's image of course you have to beautify the person so now this act of bathing apparently is an act of receiving you do it for your body but if your intention is to receive in order to give that's a mitzvah that's a holy person may we all marry it to be to try to receive as little as possible to give as much as possible and whatever we receive receive in order to give and that will be holy people in a holy nation like government Samia thank you very much to have Kedron and to talk about quito on a mini money flow today happy like Romero please join us for some Cinco [Music] everyone at moments on a flick gulaab we'd like to invite everyone to get a little bit closer we have another guest speaker tonight who is a very very

I can just ask everybody to please move your chairs a little bit closer or turn your chairs in this direction or end the conversation you're having with your neighbor so we're gonna get a little bit intimate here time for a little bit intimacy what a beautiful evening Hashem graceless with perfect weather it really looked like it was going to be some rain in the middle of the afternoon I want to first thank my wife being a posting with all the tremendous effort that she went through and all the volunteers the many volunteers too many too many that I can that I can't to count them all or mention their names not because I'm getting to that age right I remember all their names could be out there but this is I think the seventh or eighth year that my wife and I even though you my dad's only three years old this is our like I don't know this was like our little baby you know we started doing this and every year is just gonna be getting bigger and bigger more people more more popular and it's like we want to thank Roubini because it's a really a very special place in the the intersections between Bach the German colony and Captain Bowen yoke's and people come from far and wide from our Nona and recopying Tobia and we have people here from Texas and we have trying to Paris firing people from all over na Chloe's tau P is it's amazing so every year I just try to Colombia where else okay guys while we're at it come on where else anybody want to throw out some Jewish geography okay so I try to find something new and interesting that I personally didn't hear didn't know ready right because the whole the Torah is supposed to be new to us it says every day it says the parsha said more on three okay so on show Lewis which is where we're leading up to right inventions that we bring a middle had the shot wash em and the clea car which I'm a little bit into if anybody knows me but we your car which we're going to talk about the word CLE tonight but anyway so the three-car explains based on that puss ik that we must feel as if the tour has given us to this very day each and every single day and that's why sure Lewis even though it's mentioned as the 50th day but it doesn't mention that it's monitory and yet right after it says the 50 days it says you have to bring them in - huh - ah so every single day right there's no beat for Josh without a key Boosh there's also there's always something new so when I learned this year what I came across was did you know that the man fell began to fall on loud mahoma so we were celebrating a great miracle that happened to us in the desert that on the eighth a day of a are the 18th of ER the mine that we call that soul food that began to fall on the 18th of ER which is today tonight I know you ask somebody else they didn't starve but they didn't have mana that's for sure and it started to fall and why do we know that listen to this it's soul food we actually received our souls are jewish souls are highest Hashanah became revealed and in touch we became in touch with it on the 33rd day of the over the original 33rd day of the oven would that be hip because it's soul food we didn't need it we weren't relating to food in that fashion before it was as Cecilia's but we're eating me from eating physical food now we're eating soul food so basically what we're talking about is really the secret of 18 okay that's what I'm talking about tonight and we know a famous verse in viagra Leviticus 18 5 boosh martinet happened I met with Pattaya share yardsale town hard on the hype ahem Anish em you shall observe my statutes and my ordinances which a man shall do and live by them I am the Lord so our whole life is spent doing right in here - Shem go read mysteries like the rabbi spoke about giving giving right it's about giving so those are those that's that's giving life and doing this was being involved in Torah I just want to share with you a little bit of an insight behind this so there's a Mishnah ok how many books are there in what we call the Bible there are 24 books 24 months how many how only living let me say like this there's a mission of Pirkei avos that says in order right for a Cohen that Cahoon is acquired through or they have 24 gifts there's 24 Thurs mouths sovereignty kingship is acquire 30 30 and what about Torah 48 so I said alumni alumni of Asia Torah my Rebbe Rabbi no flybridge spoke about this mission would he waste the wisdom great waste of wisdom really this is way we during the screw out - oh man there's so many lessons that we those that we can work on and learn but the truth is according to the mission itself this 48 ways and the remark says the 49th way is review and then you're there so the time of the sphere on meaning the time the steps that one takes from leaving Egypt till Matt and Torah are to acquire it to work on acquiring these 48 ways to wisdom so that we can really acquire the Torah okay so basically since Moses was a place of Makkah youth basically the king and Aaron was the coin so 24 books of thorne 24 gifts with Gordon altogether 24 24 48 we take it one step further and we say that the 24 books of the Torah come first and we're trying to relate a certain way that each look at the Torah is the one of the days of the sphere on from the beginning and then the last part in of the 24 so did we reach 48 are the 48 mikanos gifts for the Kohanim so what's the 33rd meaning what is 24 plus 9 what into so there's two different pricing out in Shas so one of the brightest mentions that the ninth gift of the cuff of the Luna is left of a bunny the other Bryson mentioned is that the ninth into the car name are the Omer offering the actual home law firm itself so you have to be like it mates just about that so what is the lesson of fun even have to do it there so that's where hi comes in eighteen okay so let me begin this was all a brief introduction now we all know there are 613 365 dolts 248 positive mitzvahs active to do in anybody saying that there are fulfilled you that they can I do all the mitzvahs no why because some are only ferment some only for women some well he for the car need someone only for farmers southerly for ravine so I'm only for you surround so guess what are you aware of the fact that there are 72 names of Hashem or a 72 letter name of a Shem so guess what yeah there is a there are three verses Deuter I'm sorry in Exodus 14 914 1931 21 there are three verses consecutive verses that have 72 letters in each one of these verses when you go in we read right to left if you make a graph for yourself the second verse goes left to right and the third you basically match up these three triplets three letters of 772 names of Hashem the three letters each the third name that the 33rd name sorry the 18 refers to around eighteen eighteen eighteenth year the eighteenth name of the 72 letter name of God is clean not to create car but to clean and what's clear represent Kohanim levin australian we can only fulfill the whole Torah will become together with aquadude with unity now if you want to be a receptacle to receive the blessing you can't be a broken vessel you have to be a whole vessel so tonight right be as rub Akiva What did he say we have to Rea Homolka is the clogged Abobo taraj the greatest is the greatest is the greatest general principle the foundation of the entire Torah is over my left shoulder love your neighbor as yourself so if you want to hide behalf over how do we start off that the whole Torah is it is the way we can connect to a Shem the way we can connect to Eternity in other words that's what it means which a man shall do and live by them the word live by them is high is 18 and we also have another famous verse when we take out we caught the car name we call up for Chris a Torah write we say yeah that might be human now okay Pam hi uncle mal kyv is plural for hi listen to the 18th name of the 72 letters of the champagne is cleave representing that unbroken vessel and if we really concentrate and figure out a way I want you to know I don't I mentioned about the 48 ways to wisdom what is the 33rd they do that right yeah what's the 33rd it's hone should behold what is that all about it's it's gratitude and we have gratitude you want to give you full of praises you know what the 33rd neither meaning the demeanor for today out of the 40 ways the wisdom is loving charity the love of charity in Hebrew aha oh hey Edmond stuccoed would love to do righteousness and charity and to be a giver just like rap like the drum spoke about so my blessing to you all after putting through write whatever I had to say for last few minutes is that we should all come together and really understand what it means to be created in the image of God to know that everybody every human being on the face of the earth it's creating the image of God and such unbelievable potential Jews and non-jews unbelievable potential because it can reach all the way up until a Shannon and there's no limit there's no border there's no there's no limit to see how far you can reach it so you reach the Sham itself so that last verse but I just mentioned it's really it's really amazing because this is the proof that there is such a thing as resurrection of the dead by the way but you cleave to the Lord your God are alive all of you this day this day all I can cleave to a Shem we do the bake as a chef if we cling to a sham of the word from it's invoke the actual root is look I bear the word soft really means like a bear and if it would have really connect to Hashem so we even really try to do the mitzvahs correctly to learn to be willing to really you know work with our character traits and understand and really feel for another hearing being and to be the lover you know really embed in our own lives the love of charity so we call my harvest s it how does has it and you buy there is founded upon festive so we welcome you all to our annual live but over party and I want you to enjoy the rest of the evening there's my daughter it's the well complete after yourself that's the evening [Music]
