Episode 2 BEYOND THE 7 with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] hey good day everybody welcome back to our second session why from Jerusalem I got to shift my camera from the last broadcast forgive me folks oh good lord there we go let's just do that anyways welcome back to the second session of beyond the seven live from Jerusalem with Rabbi Aaron David Poston who I am fully enjoying you know he had a tower top video of the week with his first session we were so excited to see the hundreds and hundreds of people that actually tuned in and checked out his message good good following time it means a lot to us but I know it means a lot to a wonderful rabbi who studies in order to share and so I'm not gonna be Leaguer this any longer I'm gonna turn it over to Rabbi Poston rabbi how are you today we're so glad that you you started this series beyond the seven and we we had some wonderful teaching last week and we're looking forward to exactly what you want to share with us stage is yours rabbi thank you Dan and thank you for all the listeners who have joined in now or have watched in the post production it's it's a pleasure to be here once again with you and once they should have a tow for those I guess from Europe and East East where die people already in China might be awake and for those who are I guess in the middle of the night I don't know if there are anybody maybe know ye I don't know but for those in North America I'll say shabbat shalom or sugar Tov and I'm glad to be back we actually had people inquire all the way from New Zealand rabbi we had people from Indonesia last week we had questions from yeah all around the globe not just here in the West in I know we're joined right now by people in California we got people here in British Columbia Canada and more so we're eager to hear from learning rabbis especially out of Israel I firmly believe in that connection with with with Hashem but through the nation of Israel and through Jerusalem we we believe great things are going to happen there and who better than to share it then a lovely rabbi such as yourself there thank you I just won't think one moment not just we should have in mind to pray for for those who are suffering I think the whole world is suffering on some level but for those who are physically suffering from this virus that is as a pandemic and inspecting the world that they should have beneficial aim a complete recovery and of course this is also a prayer for all of us who are many of us are suffering a second hand you know whether it's and I'm just in the panic the panic and the fear we should have a greater trust Michelle and basanta Shem that at least a financial situation that either personally or the whole world will go under will certainly affect every one of us and it should hopefully be a little bit smoother than then we expect the doctor Shem God's help okay so I have some things I prepared I want to start off with mentioning my rebbe reb North Weinberg who unfortunately passed away but his words still live on and one of the things that he taught us was whenever you get into a discussion I would say even I don't want to use the word argument because that's usually what it is though you get into a discussion where you don't see eye to eye with somebody if you take a little bit of time okay go deep into trying to define the words that you're actually talking about you may actually find that you don't disagree that much or you're not to the you think you are you're much closer so it's very important to define words always when you're in any conversation when you find that doesn't really sound right and do I hear is this what you're saying okay and that's why I think I say I think really believe strongly about what we call the Kabuto system it's where two people are sitting and learning a text and they're gonna get scold going back and forth okay I read I translate I try to explain and the person on the other end will either totally which is not a good situation because who's perfect okay he has a certain emphasis on something else and he'll say but I think that's the main point oh that's a side point or whatever or maybe you're not reading it right now correct you and this is the ultimate situation at least in the Jewish world when people sit and learn and it creates like you know have you have if you have a knife okay and you want to sharpen the knife how do you sharpen you have to use another tool another piece of iron and that's the way it's gonna become sharpened so when two people are and it sounds crazy when they're at war with each other they're really not at war but we tried to get to the truth so you're coming from one angle the other person's come from another angle he wants to try to understand your angle you want to understand his angle so you'll have to sharpen your blade so to speak which is really meaning sharpening the mind and hopefully you come out not just as friends but as lovers because he or she your partner helped you to come to a greater truth a greater understanding so with that in mind we read in chapter 8 I believe it was chapter 8 and laws of kings and the Rambam and I want to stress a little bit you know before actually read reread this I want to mention that we listed yes last week 30 midst ins that the Baleno yeah to be a and B and one of the myths is we both took a step back and said that's strange why wouldn't a Valen be on this list right I think we both because we know or we're aware of the fact that no veil is something that a bend off is certainly permitted and in terms of even the Jewish community with the ghetto shop should give him for free or provide for been Noah for sale and why would it be in the list so interestingly enough I have the Rashi here first of all there's two lists that I was quoting from and one of them was a it was a better translation I think and then it was the one that says novela was in the art scroll Gemara the the other list that I have I printed off it was from rabbi Aaron Lichtenstein the City University of New York so it says not to eat an animal that died naturally and that's Rashi so what did Rashi mean what does it mean I'll just if I can find it the exact words here it sounds like this he actually quotes about the we were talking about in those three things that they keep okay I know if anybody doesn't know we're talking about should go back and see the last video but I'll try to fill those in those people in that are not so aware that even though there were 30 mitzvahs that they accept it upon themselves it seems like they weren't really keeping them but they were keeping three and one of them was not eating human flesh so Rashi on that after he explains it's human flesh they do beasts didn't do it in public they didn't sell it in the in the butcher shops right thing some people they realize it was wrong but they they weren't doing it in public so Rashi says Venetia mati he adds I heard meaning another explanation Buster Hammett besar bahama shimei tomato we're talking about dead meat where the meat the meat of the the animal died on its own now I think there is a difference okay between what we call roadkill maybe that's not the exact but let's say say carrion cumberly what you come across a carrion carrion is that the gluteus like you come across an animal you don't know they died of disease or all day long as opposed to as opposed to when a Jew let's say slaughters an animal and he finds a nick in the knife right so Jew cannot eat animal and that we called novela it was killed I'll use the word improperly for a Jew and that has the status in availa and that is probably not an available to as a as a been no I should stay away from it sounds from Rashi that the the bed the bed nor should stay away from the animal that he finds on the side of the road or died of old age right something that died on its own and you don't know maybe god forbid there's a disease this disease and it just makes more sense which really kind of leads me into another idea and I want to stress this more and more and more and we're gonna find out why I'm saying this that the we said that the seven laws are not seven laws there's seven categories it's very important seven categories because someone asked me it was a little confusing I thought there were seven laws now you're saying there's thirty so there's two different views right either it's seven categories and there are many subcategories so there's a difference of pink different opinion some say there's thirty something or sixty some have even a higher number okay so that would be called subcategories if you read this good more that we read it sounds like they accepted upon them says additional missus right so maybe over and above remember this is called beyond the seven I'm going to stick to the idea that we have seven overall overreaching general categories and there are many subcategories I'm gonna just stick with that for the for the time being so understand that not eating an animal to die naturally would fit into that category and available but I wanted to find the word sieve because of the Rambam chapter eight in law number eleven I want to focus a little bit on the the words right because all non-jews in maybe this is going to confuse people but I want to try to not confuse anybody I want to try to make things crystal clear every person there's eight billion plus people on the planet we are all considered Benigno us right all eight billion people however the Jew people from Isaac and Jacob right it's from Jacob they are now in a category all the own called Israel so now there they are not been enough so all eight billion other people are Bonet not but the Rambam I believe expresses there are two types and perhaps is even a third or fourth but she called huh is this based on the Covenant like we understand that the Jews are unique because of the Covenant at Sinai and the eight billion the rest of us you know we're Alban ain't no like everybody but this the Covenant themselves but no you're saying there's two or three people renamed that God made with the Jewish people that removed us from that general category of the eight billion people if you once I can just explain because we're gonna we're going to get worse we're gonna deal with a verse and so when you go to Exodus chapter 19 verse 6 this is right before the acceptance of the Torah right the Ten Commandments so to speak are in chapter 20 so in chapter 19 where God proposes for us to enter covenant the unique covenant with him he says let's go to go to verse 5 and now if you hearken well to me and observe my covenant you shall be to me the most beloved treasure of all peoples for - the entire world you shall be to me a kingdom of ministers and a holy nation these are the words they shall speak to the children of Israel on and on and on so in Hebrew I just it's just so beautiful so in Hebrew and verse 5 the author thought now MSHA Morticia if you really listen digital diligently the colita my hoosh martinet pretty and you guard my covenant this covenant we're entering meeting Lisa gula you're going to be treasured most treasured Nicole how I mean from all the nations Kili colors the whole row belongs to me but this is where it says the attempt you'll eat mom let's go honey you will be to me a kingdom of priests the Kadosh a holy nation and then attends a load of our game these are the words you're gonna speak to children of Israel so we were considered removed from the seven and added another six hundred and six Ruth who's well known I told you I was going to speak too much about gotchas but Ruth was considered the Pat one of the paradigm examples of a convert her name Ruth race both tough is my toughest 400 race is two hundred and above is six six hundred and six she was she she accepted upon herself 606 one Mitzvah she became a full-fledged GERD setec okay convert to Judaism so now what if just focus on chapter 8 in the the laws of kings and their Wars where the the Rambam discusses I believe these two different types of been a knock and I'll say it outside first one is and the reason that this really hit me because this week I listened to a few of the different rabbis or when you're went on the station here and they were discussing Koenig then not be a atheist and I thought that's interesting I think the Rambam talks about this so maybe atheist is not the where maybe agnostic is the word that I'm looking for but I'll read it in English first anyone who accepts upon himself the fulfillment of these seven misses and is precise in their observance is considered one of the pious the word pious in Hebrew is Hassid and we're going to discuss that word among the Gentiles and we'll merit a share in the world to come but he makes a stipulation okay in other words to be considered pious this applies only when he accepts them and fulfills them because of the hope because the Holy One blessed be he commanded them in the Torah and informed us through Moses our teacher that even previously Noah's descendants were commanded to fulfill them so then Noah already had to keep them so there's I'm gonna call this a higher level the higher level of a Ben Noah who's called a huset and will be granted eternal life the world to come the next statement is a little bit controversial he says however if P fulfills them out of intellectual conviction to me that would be an atheist maybe it's an agnostic but he feels that this is the correct way why this because maybe morrow maybe just make sense for society he's not a resident alien meaning he cannot be considered a ghetto shop nor can it be considered pious amongst the nations so we really said the pilots is the one who goes to heaven and the one who accepted the Torah not because of personal intellectual conviction but something much broader now these next words are the reason I say it's controversial because there are different texts so the text I'm reading from says nor are they considered amongst their wise men of the nations but I want to tell you something there's an ancient text and written texts like handwritten by the rabbi himself I just find it really and it's more popular it's actually more accepted nowadays we'll find it I know I'm going to find it here the Frankel edition of the Rambam puts in a lot of things that were only in the sub yard in the in the handwritten manuscripts and it's known that was the Yemenite so the Yemenite community they they had Robin was their rabbi and they had communication and they had these handwritten manuscripts so in the Rambam over there it says Ella not below not not from amongst the wise but rather from amongst the wise so in other words when we read it again and say however if he fulfills them out of intellectual conviction he's not a resident alien nor is he a pious amongst the nation but he is considered amongst the wives of the nation's so we do have a statement of cos all that says if you were told that Torrez amongst the nation's don't believe them but if you were told there's wisdom amongst the nation's believe them so no statement I believe clearly and many people bring down this is the the text I just quoted you Ella rather they're called amongst the they're considered amongst the wise of the nation's so I would think I'm not sure of atheist is the term used at least agnostic someone who says you know what I don't believe in idols so I'm not gonna worship them right I'm not gonna curse God because maybe he exists right but I'll keep the seven because it's good for society so I think and clearly that this is considered a bad Noah but he's not gonna get the world to come the question is why why should he be excluded right Juana he's not interested perhaps he never ducked out to delve deeply enough but everything in this world is measure for measure me that Cann naked meter measure for measure so he doesn't believe in the world to come right he's not interested perhaps as you said I think it's deeper than that there's there's a mission in in Sanhedrin pericolic in the 11th chapter that talks about and Dylan it talks about the different people that don't get a place in the world to counsel which I don't have in front of me I can get it but I'll try yours okay that should have in front of me but okay so basically it says that all Jews have an old Israel have a portion of the world to come and then it tells you who doesn't so if you don't believe in the resurrection of dead you're not gonna get it and if you don't believe the tourists from heaven you're not gonna have the world to come so knowing these things it's about a Jew so I would say really the same thing applies to a Gentile but what makes me say that because in the list of there's these categories of ideas philosophical ideas and then there are lists there are certain amount of kings a certain amount of people who are excluded and we learn these are principles again it's not just these three kings or these four people but what they stood for and bilam is listed amongst them and everyone says why would he even be listed there if he said all the Israel has a place in the world to come except for these people don't believe these ideas or abuse people in particular he's not even Jewish why is he in the list and because he is a Gentile and Gentiles have a place in the world to come he has to be listed there so you know that people like him would not merit the will to come I actually have some of the Gemara here let me just see where as I thought it was interesting to talk about as in proof text it's in Sanhedrin and page 105 it mentions there are four prominent commoners who are not going to have a rule I share the will to come that's bilam Doeg akiko fell and gay Kazi okay and so the gomorrah goes like this there's a mock locusts my closest means a discussion of seeming disagreement between rubio schewe and Rebbe Eleazar so ribbon Eleazar is going to make the claim that Gentiles do not have a place in the world to come but before I begin to tell you the Gomorrah preface it says the halacha is not like him it goes like rabbi Yeshua just to keep that in mind but you have to hear the other side so it says in Psalms 9 18 the wicked shall be turned back to the nether world all that nations that forget God so the way he understood it was that it is talking about the the Jewish people who are who ever are sinners to soothe the wicked they're gonna be turned back from the netherworld but then it says all the nations that forget God so he considers that means all the sinners of the Gentiles again but he's he's considering it as if the word saying Hebrew because it says the actual words like this this health care your sugar rush I am the schola right will return all the all of the the wicked will return to the grave coal going should say klo king all the nations that forget God as if there's an equation that all the nations are going all the nations who obviously don't believe in our God are going to - I'll use the word help or this this place called the grave but reviewer says it doesn't say kick cold it just says cold so it's only referring to the non-jews who don't believe in God okay they mean that they forgot only the Gentiles that forgot about God it's very poor I'll just read the words that he says because this is huge read the statement of revenue user right okay issue a second but does it say in the verse that the sinners of the Jewish people will be like all the Gentiles it doesn't say kick oh go ahead it just says pogoing it says all the Gentiles that forget God so rather now in the stand it means the wicked shall be turned back to the nether world and who are they they are all the Gentiles that forget God meaning the Gentiles who fear God do have a share in the world to come okay so now we got that clear putting all the stuff all the information I put to the side so we don't my desk is still cool that tons of stuff but okay now what does it mean to be a ha seed in other words how do we define so most translation would be saintly pious remember this title title of the series is called beyond the seven again what does that mean it means taking the seven seriously as the Rambam explained whose careful in them careful in them knowing that what that they came they were revealed to Moses yes it was true that before Moses it was known to the world but it was stressed or repeated at the revelation at Mount Sinai what is a huset from all of my knowledge and Judaism is that a huset is someone who goes beyond the letter of the law beyond you have the letter of the law and in fact I'll even tell you a secret the temple the Gomorrah tells us that the temple was destroyed the Jerusalem was destroyed because the Jews kept the Torah and one says what I can't be aren't we supposed to keep the Torah so the more he goes on to describe yeah of course you're supposed to keep the total but they're actually supposed to go beyond the letter of the law and they didn't do that this is cuz they kept them they were destroyed because they're happy haha they kept alone you can call bare-minimum whatever it is you got the letter of the law and I'm only gonna go to that point that's it so if I think of the word that's the word that the Rambam uses and that's good more uses we're talking on saying Hebrew : my cowbell sheva mitzvos when Miss Harlow SOTA all who accept the seven missiles and is Miss Hart allow us our transit is extremely careful to do that a race that meets the sea they almost alum he's considered amongst the Hassid a who must allow for the pious and pious to me means simply I mean let her at least in Judaism means to go beyond eh local a claim about he gets a portion of the world to come and he continually says boom Shekar bail Oh so he accepted them the ah so time and he does that Mitnick should see Rebecca - Morocco Butera because God commanded them in the Torah well ho D Noi you they Moshe obey no it was revealed or made known to us through motion should be they know off me cat Nico then it's table bed even though the children of North were commanded before Elohim us up if Nahas Reyes had us but if he's only doing them because of intellectual conviction a fresh ricotta dot a intellectual this makes sense now I have to tell you because this also leads into the other idea that within the seventh overall reaching principles anything that makes sense in the Torah and non Jew has to do question is to what extent it's the finest of details I don't know but in terms of being amongst us I see they almost Olaf I will assume that they would want to do everything that makes sense and things that don't make sense that's what the Jew is doing okay now I'm going to lead it to that because there's a very important verse we're gonna read hopefully we'll get to it I'm putting my mind on now we're gonna do it okay so I hope this was a little bit clearer to some of those who are listening because I heard can and then not be an atheist I think yes but it's very difficult to come to that conclusion that's the sting because if you have is believing in God it sounded like as one of those for sure one of those thirty is it one of the subcategories yeah those subcategories are for the pious can you just be you know an atheist or agnostic bed not perhaps but you're only gonna get a reward you're only going to be rewarded in this world this world I will now mention I have a beautiful thing I did many many years ago I put together a list of all the different sevens and Judaism okay just it's a three-page list I only want to highlight a few of them because seven represents perfection in this world okay so hear me out and eight which somehow related to the Jew right we have shamea service the eighth day and called the eighth day of Sukkot meaning the day beyond that's unique for the Jewish people the Brit Milah is done on the eighth day there's so many things with eight but in the meantime I just wanna stick with sevens right we have seven days of creation there's no there's no accident here that God created the whole world in seven days okay when Noah brought animals there were seven pairs of clean animals that he had to bring up onto the ark seven colors of the rainbow seven directions in which there is there's up down forward backward left right and center middle and during the seventh year which we have shmita every seven years and then we have Jubilee which is every seven times seven and by the way Jethro who was a very famous convert and he had seven names and he also had seven daughters and we have seven seas seven continents and by the way when the torah was revealed it was the seventh generation after moses yet abraham isaac jacob lady cot and moshe their seven heavens okay I really want to go through the entire list but I do want to do I have a few more yeah there are seven notes on the musical scale and let's just go to the two verses I want to focus on and that's in Psalms chapter 12 verse 7 the words of the Lord are pure words as silver tried in the furnace of Earth purified seven times seven times seven times seven seven it's also proverbs nine one wisdom hath build in her house she hath hewn out her seven pillars seven coats it's so important for the for the world to be involved in the seven Noahide laws and the stress we did see there's a whole discussion can a Jew look at a non Jew learn Torah so I'm going to delve into that a little bit right now I want to start with something that's brought down in the nefesh a high and these are the notes real kind of illusion and and he sends like this the relationship of Jew to non Jew is like that of a priest to a member of the congregation he serves as per the scriptural description of the Jewish people in the verse I read the beginning in Exodus 19:6 we are called a kingdom of priests and a holy nation both positions of priests and congregant have significance in corresponding obligations they have different obligations a priest is not a priest if he has no congregation and yet congregation requires a priest to provide assistance the Jew is obligated to observe 613 mitzvot and the non-jews similarly has the obligation to observe the seven Noahide laws both Jew and non-jew had the ability and a free choice to generate what we called tikkun rectification work he lool damage through their actions however Jews obligation and responsibility is to rectify both himself and the worlds around him whereas the non-jews obligation is to rectify himself therefore the impact of the Jews actions reaches further should any non-jew wish to take on a greater level of obligation he also has the free choice to convert to Judaism as long it is done with full conviction however a non Jew is able to reach meaningful spiritual heights of perfection in a serving God without converting to Judaism so these are all important texts I hope that are meaningful here now going back to this idea of a ha C so there is in perky a vote you guys all familiar with perky a vote so if you go to it's really in the second chapter and it's the fifth Mishnah but I thought it would be good to actually read the the fourth mission as well so this is about Hillel he used to say do his will do God's will as though it were your will so that he God will do your will as though it were his set aside your will in the face of his will so that he may set aside the will of others for the sake of your will okay this is very deep but basically to be a servant of God my wife and I were discussing what does it mean in this present day everyone is like they don't know what's going on they don't know but to believe that everything is contradictory every five minutes every time you change a channel there's different there's different professors there's different doctors there's different they're giving the opposite advice you want to know what is my job here what am I supposed to do so I told my wife and she totally green stores very deep actually what does it mean to be an editor Shem could be a servant of God and I think that's what this mission it really is about to know that whatever God requires me I'm willing to do so I don't have to know everything right now I'll wait for the proper instructions I want to know exactly I want to know every detail about what's gonna happen tomorrow it's not gonna happen when the you know I guess losing your are in the army you get used to this if you have a commander right because we're not slaves we don't have you know a human boss maybe we do learn that certain cases in certain workers environments but when your boss says something you just do it you know you can ask how high and how far but you know because you want to do the job right so if you're willing to turn your will over to the care of God so then everything's gonna be just fine anyway he continues and I also heard this idea because what is it about a community everybody means a community there's nuts not called a new religion to have a rity we will talk about this is not a new religion this religion goes back to Adam to Noah to Abraham this is this thing called I caught no hide ISM I don't know if there's a term it's called Judaism for non-jews okay it's not is not allowed to create your own religion we saw that also in the Rambam this is one of the main reasons that you know I just refer to as in chapter 10 I believe it was a lot of 10 the rambam stresses cloche l-dub are the main point of that Halawa that was talking about involving yourself in torah or keeping Shabbos was a magnesium assume the hob estas you we don't allow them it's not permissible to create a new religion because if they don't learn Torah from the Jews they will I mentioned this tool and you will find yourself creating a new religion you're going to keep Shabbos on Friday well on Sunday and that's that's called the new religion so you're talking about Judaism for non-jews that would be the best way to describe it anyway he says do not separate yourself from the community everyone needs a community do not trust in yourself into the day of your death do not do not judge your fellow man till you reach this place right they say like don't judge a man until you step in these shoes do not say something that cannot be understood trusting that in the end it will be understood say not wouldn't they have leisure I will study because maybe you won't have that time now's the time to study and that brings us to the very next this is really the highlight of I want to talk about skill they used to say a same Hebrew first aim for year a ket a bore is worse than an ignoramus okay it's like a totally totally uneducated person he cannot fear sin gamma or it's a see these are the words I really wanted to focus and Amma are at someone who is ignorant he's not well learning he cannot be a high seed so what are we talking about here beyond the seven meaning I want to call myself I was a nun Jew I would want to be grouped with the people who are considered Hasidic uma Sola the pious with the saintly of the nations and it doesn't mean just keeping the seven according to the letter of the law I think that's clear by now even the Jews are not supposed to keep the Torah according to the letter of the law that was clear in the good morning expressed they told us why you racial line was destroyed because the Jews only kept the Torah and that we easily found unfathomable but when we understood the good money explains it so clearly that the Jew is supposed to go beyond and if we're the priests and we're supposed to teach you how to act then you should follow our lead take the seven seriously that's first of all find out what they mean they're not just seven laws they're seven categories go deep right we talked about lesson we talked about doing kind acts right and what really got me started was I can't believe if some I was a menorah and the bed north comes to me and says I need alone because I got no food on my table where I need to start a business because I'm out of work and I've created a new new way in this new world to make some money because I can't work in the old in the old fashioned I was working in well I when I give him an interest-free loan it does say if that's what the Jews do so I would do the same thing right am i obligated no especially if the person already has money and just needs another million of liquidity make a few few more bucks you know might as well go with the business with him but anyway so an ignorant person cannot be pious I'll read the rest of the missioner nor can the tummy tummy it I guess it's a very like that seemed Hebrew not by shot someone who's embarrassed who's afraid he can't learn and why can't he learn because he's afraid that raise his hand and say I don't understand right if he's very embarrassed and the guy that the teacher could be going to the next lesson already thinking that everyone understood it and he doesn't stand up when his two feet says I need a tutor right need extra time with you or it's just I missed one word and that one word I just don't get the whole lesson because that wouldn't work nor can an impatient person teach okay I have to take that from at night myself nor will someone who engages too much in business become wise perhaps why maybe because he's too busy making money in a place where there is no man strive to be a man I think really think about the word custody because that's what in other words to say it Ben Noah has to fit in one category I think is missing the point Baruch Hashem that there will be non-jews who will keep the seven out of a intellectual conviction I think that's a positive move for most of us eight billion people on the planet okay for people who think that stealing is done anything twice right it's come on in the least the person is thinking about its right to murder he would never murder anybody because he just thinks it's wrong this is this is someone to be I think applaud it okay but he should know listen you you have a status of men not maybe you're an atheist maybe you're agnostic I don't know okay but so you don't believe in God's so okay but you're been off and you're you're a mesh and but between me and you and the lampposts we know that he does not have a place in the world to come but he go get reward in this world he will be rewarded in this world why wouldn't he a Shemin said do this and he's doing it okay so that's what's a lot of clarity out there so I want to talk about the idea of of learning great why should it why should one learning I don't know where to start I have two pieces I want to talk about what are prophecies and one is the mission of Torah and the robbed bombs laws in shmita and Jubilee in chapter 13 let's start there so it's really 13 but I want to go back to 12 and maybe even go back I told you one of my biggest problems is that I read something and I have to go back to see in context I wanted to have a running start and usually I never get one because I always go back back back but we were talking the previous Holocaust were talking about the Levites membered the Jews also made up a priestly class and the Cohen and the Levites do not get a farm land they don't get land in which to work okay they go to the cities and Armus air our tithes will support them okay and it's because they are the teachers so in number twelve is chapter thirteen halakha 12 in the Mishnah torah on the laws of shemitah and jubilee why did the Levites not receive a portion in the inheritance of Eretz Israel and in the spoils of war like their brethren the answer is because they were set aside to serve God and minister unto him and to instruct people at large in his just paths and righteous judgments you can find this in Deuteronomy chapter 33 verse 10 it says they will teach your judgments to Jacob and your turret to Israel therefore they were set apart from the ways of the world meaning not to engage in farmland farm work or business they don't engage in war they don't wage war like the remains of the Jewish people nor do they receive an inheritance nor do they acquire for themselves through their physical power instead they're called God's Legion it says in verse 11 under Deuteronomy chapter 33 verse 11 God has blessed his lesion le GI Owen and he provides for them if you look in very important numbers 18 verse 20 God says I am your portion and your inheritance the comment on this the Rambam cites in the first portion of the verse in Halawa 10 as proof the Levites are not entitled to a portion of the spoil nor in Hesston a ancestral heritage in Eretz Israel in this Halawa he explains the rationale for the exclusion the Levites are set aside from from materially material involvement so they can devote themselves to the spiritual however God however promises this is an exchange this that this exchange will not cause any of them a loss that God who provide their material needs and it's provided through the mass air to the tides now this is the real important halacha because we did read that a non Jew is not supposed to be learning Torah now we already explained that means that they should be learning the turd that they're obligated which is probably like 98 percent of the Torah I mean it's all the written Torah right and it's probably I'm gonna use 95 to 98% of the oral torah as well this is boggling this is the romba not only the tribe of lady so we just got done saying that the ladies dedicated to Torah not only the tribal lady but any one of the inhabitants of the world and everyone understands this to mean I could say everybody probably 98 percent understand that to me this I have a comment here 27 this wording implies Gentiles 8 knows I'm not a lady maybe I am but say I'm not and I want to dedicate myself to Torah I can give up my job and dedicate myself no what does it mean give up my job how am I gonna live okay so that's a whole discussion on its own okay and we're gonna a little bit now someone wants to be like lady he's not he doesn't have the halacha status of lady but whose spirit generously motivates him and he understands with his wisdom to set himself aside and stand before God to serve Him and minister to him and to know God we told him at Gentiles as well perceiving justly as God made him removing from his neck the yoke of the many reckonings which people seek and he is considered holy of Holy's sanctified God unique his portion and heritage forever and will provide what is sufficient for him in this world like he provides for the priests and the Levites and even King David declared in Psalm 16 5 God is the lot of my portion you are my cup you support my lot now what does this mean I mean it to say not Jewish not learned Torah is a hundred percent raw right we already established that in the the whole written Torah the whole term math everyone agrees they can read this is a lot to learn okay tonight I'm small okay and the only way you can learn any of it anyway is by learning it from the Jews because they were there they know what it means okay I have a few examples no I did we talked about this a little bit before how do you know how do you know about the Oral Torah anyway anywhere except from the Jewish people listen I'll just give you like a few ideas right it says in Deuteronomy chapter 12 verse 21 God says to slaughter as I commanded you and nowhere does it explain the five different laws of slaughtering right the knife has to be completely sharp right can't have a nick right then when you slaughter it has to be in a certain place and it can't be with any pressure and you can't do any stabbing and you have to go back and forth you can't stop in the middle this what does it mean slaughter as I command you but there's no way written these details would about to fill in in Exodus chapter 13 verses 9 to 16 again in Deuteronomy Deuteronomy chapter 8 6rx 6 verse 8 and chapter 11 verse 18 these are called tefillin it's a sign God tells you to put a sign on your body and doesn't explain what it is right you can have a whole bunch of people creating their own religion they just they don't know what they're talking about right here I have a great one oh so I told you what's gonna do Komachi abut okay so an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth so I in passeth i am Shane caucus Shane right everyone knows that verse an eye for an eye tooth for tooth from the very beginning we were not silent we knew this involved five different types of financial Rhett the word but the renumeration of some sorts right for doctor's bills unemployment pain libel Latin in a libel suffering of different sorts the word kesef cuff samus pay believe it or not that's kesav the word I it says I am taco sign an eye for an eye but the word for also could be translated as an underneath I'm sure you heard the word tuchus so the way a cot cot and I I in I am so it it means whatever whatever's in underneath the iron so you have I in your nun so whatever you have is the the I in the letter that comes after nine is a pay good the letter that comes after you as a cuff and the letter comes after nine is a sonic so the letters that are underneath the word I am I is money the words are saying it too it's like screaming at you okay this is our Letarte right in front of you I mean well at front of you but means to be told to you so it was never in Judaism that if somebody accidentally or even purposely stuck out someone's eye or broke their tooth had to have their ire to remove yes is a discussion the Gomorrah that whose truth are you replacing in other words god forbid I was the one okay it's not use me as his hell somebody took out these I so the question is we asked how much would it cost you to be willing to not give have have your eye not remove right work for instance my eye is valuable to me so what am I willing to pay not to have I my I remove my I would never been removed but there's money in place of the eye as we just explained the question is is it going to court to my eye or his eye what if he the guy the damage was a pianist a momma sure I don't know top-notch pianist and God forbid whatever accident happened that damn the order may be a surgeon's hand is it going to go clear into my hand who I sit and watch vegetables grow all day and scare away the birds or am I going to pay a much higher mouth for the penis or the surgeons and so that's the discussion okay so that's another idea no it makes great sense well through the Torah fall to the turret says the Adhamiya Hashem Telmo lame-o God spoke to Moses saying why do you need to say what is the turning to say God spoke to Moses saying first one Hebrew the Adobe AIR we're told as a harsh language and it's what's the word it's like written in stone right and that the Torah actually is the Torah itself is written and there's no you can't even mess up one letter right you can't be missing a letter and a letter can't be smudged okay the dhaba so that's God spoke to Moses lame or means to say over I spoke to Moses to say over in what language in your own language you can convey to them that's the way a teacher always has to teach his student in a language that the student can hear so Moses from God one way and he was told to todo to tell over but the Hebrew and more is different than the word V about their leader there is a harsh language that is in stone and concrete and unmovable and unchanging lame or is how to say it over it's a soft language lame or is the different screen then tell and sale them right it's like different totally different God was told to say over so this is one of the ideas that this is showing you that there's a a in Altona transmission transmission thank you okay I have a few more but I don't why didn't write the verses down but the concept like whenever there is a doubt in the Torah so you're supposed to go up to Jewish alive find it we're on a 13 18 probably 13 17 okay chapter 17 of deuteronomy verses 8 and onward right if there's a matter of judgment that's hidden from you between blood and blood between verdict and verdict between plague and plague matters of dispute in your cities you shall rise up and ascend to the place to shame your God shall choose so you're not going anywhere you're going specifically now if you had a discussion in a lower court that they found a doubt they were not able to resolve it so then you could take it to the next court right that's how it works in most places so we're not talking about a major matter and we're not talking a a minor matter that could be resolved easily we're talking about a matter of to speak your cities and it was we hmm more than an appeal something like a matter first you're not gonna go against the base did the base dim the court itself did not have the decision okay it's a big difference you should come to the cony the Levite so we already discussed their job and to the judge who would be in those days so it's not only the co name of the Levites but anybody who is capable of being a judge would be a comic optimist age you shall do according to the word listen you should do what the word does it to the script to what it says in the Bible okay it doesn't say that it says you should do according to the word that they tell you which already you're talking about allowing an people to use their brains they're coming to the BET we call the truth of truths right they're trying their best to give you what they understood God to be saying you had a doubt right it's something that's a daddy thing is clear is not in this discussion so then you have to do what they tell you to do listen to the words you should this is verse 10 you shall do according to the word that they tell you from the place that Shem will choose and you shall be careful to do according to everything that they will teach you then it sounds ridiculous to repeat it according to the teachings that they will teach you and according to the judgment that they will tell you you shall do and you shall not deviate from the word again word they tell you right or left you know can I just say is this not why the prophets prophesied the way they did in the world might turn to Jerusalem based on this premise that you're talking about that system in the time of mashiac that fulfills this go to Jerusalem and bring those matters and they they'll be dealt with in as I say there's just something massively beautiful year that the world needs to hear listen anybody that believes in Scripture has an easier time understanding and I mean that's where I mentioned gonna bring a few of these ideas down so let's start with Deuteronomy chapter 4 verses 6 through 8 I see this as more prophetic and we'll start and and you shall keep them this is the Jewish people God through Moses talking to us you should keep them and do them with Rome but the Torah why for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the people but I want to clarify something it says who will hear all these statutes what is it about the word statute here it's called cooking call the who King let go back this is what God tells us you're gonna keep them you're gonna do them because it's gonna be good for you but guess what it's called your wisdom and your understanding but it says in the eyes of the people who will hear all these statutes they're gonna actually hear them this is one of the proofs that the Gentile is a sincere Gentile it has no problem learning and I'm going to use again ninety-nine ninety-eight percent of the Torah it says all of these statutes well first of all who kiemce are those things that are not understandable not easily comprehended so in other words to not murder to not steal and we can go on to do Hesed to all these things that we already said that they may not have been knock a righteous person gentile should do what about all these other things that are called who king like shot nits not putting wool and linen in the same garment not today eating matzah and Passover sitting in a Sukkah and you know putting a work species together on sucrose and waving them there houki so that is not really I'll usually shy they're not really related to the Gentile way of life then the hooking that's what the Jews are keeping the Jews hopefully are keeping all the rest of the image spotting and all the other laws but in addition what is unique to us is what we call the hooking and it sounds from here from this verse that they will understand they will hear all these had how does the Torah tell me that they're gonna hear about them and not learn about hearing about them and learning about limits are to me intertwined because my is relic understand other words Sh'ma is understanding wish Martin la Riva Hebrew Welsh martavis eat them you're gonna guard them and you're gonna do them qihoo off mic em will be not them it's your wisdom and your understanding Lena Haim to the eyes of the Gentiles the nations I show you soon they actually hear they hear call the hooking their hearing beyond the seven their hearing beyond the the ones that makes sense the ones that are logical which they're obligated to keep their hearing about them Haley the Amuro and you know what they say as a result this is what they say only this great nation is a wise and understanding people for what great nation is there that has God's own ear to it as the Lord our God is of all times called part of him and what great nation is it that has just statutes how do they know how do they know these are just statutes and ordinances as this entire Torah which I said before God Himself is saying they hopefully they'll open their eyes don't see how can they see I'm gonna otherwise if they don't learn something they have to be learning something you with me so far okay Zakaria chapter eight verses 22 and 23 many peoples and powerful nations will come to entreat the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem you mentioned about come to Jerusalem and to pray before the Lord so said the Lord of Hosts the prophecy of the future but I think the future is now in those days when ten men of all languages of the nation shall take hold of the skirt or the garment of the Jewish man saying what let us go with you for we have heard again we have heard that God is with you how can they hear what does that mean to hear there's a lot more than just audible audible sound right first of all it's again the word Shimano alakina that we heard the word Shema means to understand not just to hear there's some kind of understanding now I just want to use again not know Canoga matches here just simple that okay how many nations how many nations are there 70 nations so what it says that many peoples resolution yeah where's the word okay here it is astonishing ten men we call the show notes from all the different languages all the different nations so you have ten men from the definition so there's 70 nations that means ten men so that's 700 correct in other words what did you think when you read this ten men are go to each Jew know ten men from each nation is good to what the corners what do you mean the corners how many corners does a Jewish Carmen have four four is where justice 2,800 from to the oh I just think the audience would appreciate it so I think every Jew every Jews listening you have to be prepared and every non Jew if you feel that you want to be amongst those pious of the nations we spoke about this in and the laws of shemitah right I didn't make it up right it was right there in front of us anyone even non-jews can dedicate themselves to learn it to teach it is it teaching I am you're ready discussed this idea you cannot be a teacher if you do learned there's no such thing let's go to Jeremiah chapter 16 verse 19 16 verse 19 Oh Lord who are my power and my strength of my refuge in the day of trouble to you nations will come from the ends of the earth so we're talking about the non-jews are gonna come and say to the Jewish people only lies have our fathers handed down to us emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail how will someone come to this understanding try to use your imagination there's all kinds of ways there could be open miracles there could be why do we have to wait to the last minute that's what I'm asking now is the time now is the time to come to understanding this right to chef anybody who is sincere and I've spoken to rabbis anybody who is sincere about inquiring about conversion that doesn't mean they have to convert just that they they're checking out the possibilities they may come to the conclusion this is not for me because my spouse because of my whatever it is they have a million reasons why but they're sincere individuals they're allowed to learn Torah okay if they inquiring everybody agrees if everybody that if you actually this non Jew actually wants to convert where has the he's checking it out you're allowed to teach them talk and have a cook chapter 2 verse 14 we all know this for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the water covers to see that he Somalia the dr. Pavone a sham Kamiya Newcastle young so what are we talking about here what are we talk about the knowledge of God are we talking about like just a little pinprick of knowledge that's gonna we're talking this is this is the prophecy it's going to happen something else and in in eight oh I do want to I'm gonna bring this up not really okay I'll be bedside in in a safer a new book that came out which is I'm not sure it's really out yet but I got permission to share paragraph that from British alone so this is on the chapter on suddenly the child chapter but it's a subchapter called cleaving to God so this is book is dedicated towards the knowledge of the nay-no off of non-jews who want to advance in their being of service to to the world to any person who's benevolent spirit this is the quote that I read that I gave you from Hylton shemitah in the Rambam but he has some good footnotes on it any person who's benevolent spirit that means moving spirit and understanding mind brought him to a place of separation he wants to separate himself and the red one else to stand before the Lord to serve and worship him to gain knowledge of the Lord and has walked in a straight path as God created him and removed from his neck the yoke of human calculations is consecrated as a most holy soul and the Lord will be his portion and his heritance forever and ever now there's a different opinion among the sages as to what is the appropriate extent to which in no height should learn Torah there are those who restricted study to parts of the Torah with universal application which touch on the foundations of faith morality and law that are meant especially for no house there are those there are also the there are also those who distinguish between a non-jew who did not take upon himself the seven Noahide laws who would be limited as stated in his study and a proper naugahyde who was permitted to learn the entire torah he says the quotes this second opinion is the prevailing one now when actually quote I would actually go into the into the Rambam because he actually uses a different language and I'll share that in a second I'm just going to finish here among the ways of Cleveland to God is to become attached to torah sages through learning from their upright conduct so okay what I want to show you if you go to that chapter 10 in the Rambam that talks about learning Torah how it's frowned upon he doesn't say it then Noah use the word going remember I started saying there are different types of boys the general term for all no offense and then there's the Rambam made two different levels there's a amongst the wise and he kind of pushed that aside right there's a whole difference whether it's even worth mentioning but I told you the manuscripts do mention it and therefore he has a place in this rule he'll have reward in this world but the way the Rambam says it says goys shall i SiC Patara he doesn't use the word been Noah a and in some place it says ah Co which means that an idol worship so an idol worship who involves himself in Torah he's the one who is strongly under no sir under no circumstance should be studying to her however later on in none that was hahaha 9 in Halawa Tanny says been Noah Sharia law Smith sir he wants to do any of the misses from all the other misses again does that include learning Torah does that include Shabbos put that aside in order to receipts far we don't prevent you from doing so as long as he does them correctly I stress over and over again any no ha any not you that wants to do additional mitzvahs it says is to do them Kelleher hates to do them according to the law ha so how are you supposed to know the how ha he has to learn if he wants to do them so he wants to do shut this what he wants to do whatever it is he has to learn it's it's right it's a clear as day so the first halacha says a or an ahkam someone who is not in the category of accepting of the Noahide laws the reason he's not going we're not gonna push him to learn and we're not gonna encourage him to learn is because he's just there to mock us he's just there to cause trouble if he says here so then first of all he'll kill change start learning on his own and he'll come as a Ben Noah who wants to do and he's already in the next category and therefore it says not only do you you don't prevent him there's a me area that says you even encourage him and you can you should be teaching in the Torah because especially the mere extent explains that by a Christian an ex Christian let's use a Christian let's say Christians not X Christian yet he believes the scriptures from gonna and if he comes to you you can't do any more damage he's already damaged yes ok so basically you're gonna keep them the correct way to understand the Torah so he's only gonna come out hopefully on the other end a better person because he's gonna have some insight there's no way to understand the Torah without having proper instruction so with all that said and done with all the prophecies that we spoke about it with all the direction that God wants the world to going so I would suggest to study study study start start with the 7 right start with understanding the depth of the sin then you start to go deeper deeper yeah good just exactly in line with what you're saying at the beginning of that paragraph that you spoke about in Brit Shalom it said something about the one that had removed the yoke off of his shoulders and it was a specific yo-oh so that referred to the idea what we spoke about in the was a shemitah we're talking about someone who pushes off work who pushes off being involved in taking government money whatever it is you are nominally pendent floor and eat bread dipped in salt okay you're willing to forego the luxuries of life that way that's what it means like a lady like the coing does not have let's say the infrastructure to become wealthy therefore an Air Force should be willing to be involved in you know can teaching okay and they will be taken care of okay they're not gonna go around door-to-door asking for money so they can learn Torah that's not we're talking about we're talking about having a rich father-in-law we're talking about going into business and making making a killing and then going into teaching or just reducing your level of either comfort or luxuries to where you can work a few hours a day and teach the rest okay that's the idea of removing the yoke beautiful thanks for clarifying that I hope that I see that fit well rabbi weren't whirling in an hour 15 minutes I mean so you know feel free to keep going if anybody else online on YouTube Facebook have any questions feel free to type them in now and I'll try and get them to the rabbi but yeah rabbis you're sure yeah I'd like to hear some questions because there is something I'm thinking about I'm just looking for the source in the meantime is there any questions you would like to add the read no specific hardcore questions there was a couple earlier veronica was talking about the difference between the subcategories in category okay so let me if you have time I want to go through something that I define I found extremely mind-boggling all right okay let's open up to Deuteronomy chapter 27 we could spend more time with this another time they just introduced you to what's going on here okay so in chapter 27 and Deuteronomy there is I'm gonna call it's prophetic but it's God's command to what's gonna happen when they go into the land of Israel so they're going to inscribe something on stone what is it what's going to be inscribed on the stone so let's start with the first Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people saying observe the entire commandment I command you this day it shall be when the day that you cross the Jordan to land that Hashem your God gives you you shall set up these great stones and you should cover them with plaster first of all when you read the book of Joshua this does not seem to happen on day one that they crossed over but I do want to tell you that chapter 4 and chapter 8 when you read the comments that it did happen before they went to Jericho they before they had the warmoth I the first thing they did was they went to the mountain and set up these stones covered in plaster which we'll talk about but they had the blessings and the curses on the mountains and then they slept that night in Gilgal meaning they traveled I think like 60 miles in one day which was miraculous and they carried these stones with them from them from the Jordan River up till where they had this alter in by the mountain and I fell and greasy and they took them again and put them in Gilgal all in one 24-hour period they slept there what was written on these stones and why is it important so going back to the verse and she'll be on the day that you cross stones you're into the land of the Shamy that gives you set these great stones and you should coat them a plaster you shouldn't scribe on them all the words of this Torah what are we talking about why is it so important to set up in the Land of Israel by the border in Google where they're actually till this very day wherever they may be but why is it important what's written on them it says as you shouldn't scribe all the words of the start when you cross over so that you may enter the land that Hashem your God gives you a land flowing and looking at that that that that and it shall be okay number four it shall be that when you cross the Jordan you shall erect these stones which I command you this day one mouth Eva and you shall coat them with plaster there you shall build the altar for sham the altar of stones shut up not raise iron the whole stones of whole stones you shall build the altar of Hashem your God and you shall bring the offerings on them fine verse eight you shouldn't scribe on the stones all the words of this Torah again why do you need to tell me that well clarified what does that mean there ain't a bear hate a means well clarified datura okay you have to be like sitting down for this well clarified means in every language 70 languages the whole Torah miraculously these must have the big stones they must have been read writing very small there's an opinion let me find it okay I don't know oh yeah it's right here so there's different opinions actually I don't have it here but and some say it was only the 10 commandments but it was all 70 languages some say it was the entire Torah okay but at the bottom there was another verse silent the verse in front of me but it says do not allow the non the none the non-jewish nations have an influence on you towards their idolatry practices so no matter what was written there whether it was the ten commandments or whether it was the whole Torah it was written in all 70 languages and underneath was a one like like prominent verse that was like the point of the whole thing that the non the non Jews who want to come to the land and live amongst the Jews has to become familiar with the Torah whether its Ten Commandments remember the Ten Commandments have 620 letters there's 613 for the 613 commandments plus seven for the seven Noahide laws or the entire Torah the bottom line is that the Gentiles coming should be able to learn the total again the written Torah every degrees they can learn the written Torah it's right here black and white why would you need to write it in 70 languages hello the Jews only spoke Hebrew they just came from Egypt maybe they spoke a little bit of Egyptian a little bit of Yiddish that's a joke so there is an opinion that it's so that the Jews actually when we go out to exile we would be able to tune in spiritually to the different languages and be able to transmit the Torah to the nation's is that's one of things but the main opinion is that any non Jew coming should understand they're not supposed to influence the Jew but the Judas was to them and they should learn from what is written down why was it plastered over the whole idea was any non Jew that wants to come and learn they would inscribe or however you know you take a piece of paper and you can take a pencil and you couldn't know it would show up on that paper basically there's a certain method to the plaster that you would be able to read what's there and take it back back in other words the way of sharing the turret the world this was this was the key in respect to having the Torah being disseminated amongst the nations whether they came to you to learn or in the end god forbid if we ever had to go to exile we would be able to carry the Torah in the 70 languages I don't if you ever heard that before but this is an amazing piece that I think yeah it sucks to be commanded to put that there to write the sheer fact it just plays into unit unity over over millennia over millennia I mean it's not just oh yeah and you know the sages must have chewed it back and forth and forward and backward but the reality is the notion stands and the purpose behind that well rabbi I mean what couple people have kind of put some questions I mean nothing serious but you know because you were just mentioning about you know reading Torah got Fred out here has asked you know about he has a Talmud and it's okay for him to read that he wants to know it's it's okay that he can read that also a ga down in California this may have been covered they said well because you stepped out for a bit what are some examples of what additional benign Noah cannot do okay because you touched on today about 95 98 percent of of things that hey that might that might very well be for you and it's good for you to study but could you just give a clear line of hey stay away from that don't even think about it it's not for you and I know there's many in that couple percent it could be elaborated on but can you give a clear example I'll tell you one of the mixes that are frowned upon and that would be the Miss book to fill in no I paid there's a mitzvah to write your own safe Atari all right so I don't think writing a st. Mataura you shouldn't do and because you could get mixed up if you do if you do a good enough job people might think it was written by Joe so maybe you want to write in a way that is obviously not kosher that could be a possibility in terms of to fill in anything that has like bears certain amount of holiness and lose it meant as a notes a sign also also Shabbos so these are the let's use both of these examples so to fill in would be something it's called an aid oath it's a sign so that would be something to stay away from I've heard about mezuzahs it's best to put them on the inside of the door if and Andra wants to put someone even said put a number seven on there so it's obvious that it I don't know how people would notice such a small sign but if you put them on the inside of your door as opposed to the outside of the door that would probably be okay and in terms of Shabbos so this is the big one right so you've heard me say this before and I'll say it again you have to do it kill ha ha ha you want to do the mixes you have to do them properly so since it's a not an obligatory Mitzvah it's may be encouraged to celebrate Shabbat because there are two reasons for brought down right one is God create the world and you're celebrating or your knowledge in God and that's a positive thing but on the other hand God says there's a sign between just me and you I took you out of the land of Egypt so you were not taken out of land in Egypt so you're not obligated in the fullness in the fullness that arduous so to observe let's say to celebrate Shabbat in a voluntary fashion that's cool that's great but voluntary means to do something to show that you're doing it voluntarily which means to break it to break it in the sense of what a Jew would normally be considered breaking so a non Jew should rest perhaps rest perhaps take some time off to meditate and to commune with a sham in that family but not to observe it in the exact same way that a Jew does and to show that is to perhaps joining us live on Saturday afternoon that's perhaps one way I can't really think of too many others examples at the moment my mother's planning memory seat seat perhaps wearing seat seat inside oh there's another member reading the Torah on your own you will never get the right shot okay you'll be mistaken so when it says and you shall see them so people think that means that I should wear them outside I'm not doing it properly if I'm not wearing them outside that's not the halacha door the halacha is the reason it says here so see them is because it's a daytime mitzvah that's all that it means it doesn't mean that you shall see them that you should see them that you should see that means it's a daytime mitzvah you always see during the day so when you put them on you see them and then you can tuck them in there's nothing wrong when you're fulfilling the myths though when you're wearing them period so if you want to do the missile seat seat so then my suggestion is to wear them inside not to show them up because then people might say oh calm you'll be the tenth person or whatever there's different ideas of being mixed up and confused by a uniform so you don't need to to wear them outside to show anything because there's nothing to prove to anybody this is between you and God okay so that's he traffic mother yeah so that's been a no I've got to keep that in mind here yeah this is not about being seen it's about your walk with Hashem I do have another friend down in San and San Antonio area just asking you know is it okay that he say a blessing before studying I still think some of these Benigno are having difficulty bouncing out of right and ritual and staying alive like it's perfect I think in my eyes it's my understanding is perfectly fine to say a blessing before studying so there are different blessings there are different types of blessings different categories of blessings there are blessings that we do over mitzvoth and there are other blessings we do out of praise so the ones out of praise as far as I know I have to look to each one perhaps but they're certainly less problematic this seems to be no problem at all for a non Jew to make any blessings out of praise that right these are any may be exceptions but as far as I know that should be fine when it comes to a blessing for a mitzvah so that's that sounds like it's out of bounds to me but again there may be other opinions to say I share catch on of Mitzvah south i'm sanctifying myself tunes commands that god commanded me is is it's not a truth it's not a full truth so maybe then you sinner there's a Bnei Noach sinner maybe there's a suggestion of how to word it okay granting permission perhaps to be able to prep ya rabbi here key who wrote the Brit Shalom also has his his prayer book out there but you're 100% on the mark with that I appreciate you being clear yes okay the you asked a question the very beginning of the last series and I didn't get it do you remember my head unfortunately no I've done about four or five other broadcast this week and forgive me rabbi but all I can say is that that we appreciate the liveliness with which you're sharing but more than the liveliness this beyond the seven topic is it's almost like an opening of something that we as banane Noah clearly often enough and I'm not trying to put any shortfalls out there on other rabbis or anything of that nature you're doing a wonderful job at shining clearly to myself and those that have been tuning in I want you to feel feel uh you know confident and and and know that you're blessing people in shining light a lot of rabbis out there are coming off from their specific position and sharing their strengths what you're sharing I think you know is a very very carte blanche opens up for the world you know like a it's like a small light in a dark place shines brightly and what you're doing is shining very very brightly so I want to I want to thank you for that and thank you just Pat we're just past our 90 minute mark so we may as well want to wind it down is there any final words you want to share rabbi before and are we okay for next week yes sure sure there's not two Sheldon if people have questions they want to send you during the week and you can send them to me in advance so I can have perhaps a chance to look things over and prepare them in either in to the lecturer and have some time at the end to to address and that would be helpful I do I think I want to focus next week there's a book called path of the just because introduction last week fear fear of God I mentioned fear of God is not what people think it is okay maybe it is I don't know what people think but there's lower levels there's different levels so one of the lower levels is a fear of sin fear of punishment or looking towards reward doing positive things because we call it love but there's something even greater than that and that's called or we we gave over a very simple simplified example of when you're in love with somebody like your wife and you want to tiptoe into the room late at night to grab something you're not afraid to shoot you right you're not trying to get any points by her you really just don't want to disturb her you don't want to hurt her you don't want to rob her of her sleep so you're tiptoeing that's called all right and that may be a very juvenile example but I want to focus on this because this is the chapter that's going to deal with the the the character trait of high sea dunes of being a high seat because as I understand I should say hopefully that many of the bonito us are they want to be in the category of the pious of the nations and it's okay if anybody hears this washing that just wants to be amongst the wise of the nations and be an atheist or being agnostic if they're if such a thing could possibly exist after tonight's Shearer that's fine that's fine I got no problem with that in fact I think that's praiseworthy that you don't want to steal you don't want to rob and you don't want to hurt anybody so borrow Hashem for people like you and I wish millions millions of billions of people would be like you but we want to try to take it to the next step that's the idea beyond the seven so this is what we're gonna do next week so I hope you can all tune in anybody who watches it during the week should know that there's wrong to show this coming Saturday night we're gonna deal with the idea of what it could what does it need to be a high seed and to have such a high level of love that's beyond fear or it's within fear but it's funny well you have to tune in to hear what it's about rabbi that's a wonderful job to whet our appetite for next week I want to thank you again for the wonderful lesson folks please reach out to a rabbi Poston you can find him on you been a calm you can find him on Facebook or his youtube channel feel free to write some questions come up with some questions think about some questions questions that he could maybe take some time to mull over ahead of time and prepare some really good material he's doing a wonderful job we really are thankful that he's taking the time because let's face it it's after 1 a.m. in the morning in Jerusalem and he's still sharing and so I'm so grateful so until next week Hashem willing we'll see you then Haase dude [Music] thank you you [Music]
