hey welcome everyone to the Vinay
Bateman rush this is welcome home to
Tora yes home to Tora we're looking okay
so we hope that you feel at home
surrounded by tourists our thoughts to
our writings tora people and hopefully
torrid mitzvahs missus as well
we're partially a that you will find in
chapter 11 in deuteronomy we're gonna
start with verse 26 now I did promise
that we're going to deal with another
aspect of Isaiah 53 now I'm not going to
wait to the end I'm gonna try to get it
in the beginning meaning in the first
half in the first part okay
so there's an aspect of Isaiah 53 that
you guys are probably interested in
knowing about and that is part of Isaiah
53 that says toccata Shara
lemagas not show which would translate
as in return for having poured out his
soul for death okay so let's begin with
the verse 26 ray and no key note in lift
mayhem high Yom bracha Luke Lala now
moses Rubino oliver shalom we call him
moses our teacher why did we call him
our teacher because he has taught us so
much he's in the deuteronomy is
unbelievable because it's all of his own
words no what do I mean the first five
books are actually dictated by God word
for word that's the first five books
this book of Deuteronomy it's often the
Word of God however how do i express
this that moses told god or told the
people what he wanted to say and God
agreed this should be written down okay
so it's still God's Word but it's coming
from motion okay these are Moses's own
words that God totally agreed 100% to so
when it says see I present before you
today a blessing and a curse
it's not Moses talking from himself it's
still the Word of God
so the clear car begins by telling us
look at the word for a when okay many of
us are not experts in grammar but you
have to trust us the word Rene is see if
I'm talking to an individual I would
favor a C however as the verse continues
as if God is speaking a no Keynote
Anglophone ahem I am placing before you
plural right it would but it would have
been the funny ha ok but it doesn't say
the funny huh it says lift Nathan I'm
placing before you plural so what do you
think is going on here
God is the greatest grammarian there
ever was he invented language he
invented speech were able to speak
because God created our mouth and our
muscles and our thoughts he doesn't know
grammar so there's a lesson here so the
clear card points out a commendable yaki
it's as if you're speaking to an
individual lift mate hem it's as if
you're speaking to as if you're speaking
to the masses keema Davila Robin now as
I'll tell us in Gomorrah kedusha that's
the BA FLE that would be good Duchenne
page forty B so let me read them one
point that he wants to get across and
then we'll go and look at the Gomorrah
itself may Allah me Adam Allah Adam
kilauea : Allah meketa our machetes
ikuyo to the other notes that imagine a
man should always imagine to himself
okay you should create an image in his
mind as if the entire world is
fifty-fifty there's their scales the
whole world is standing in a balance
fifty-fifty with merits meaning mitzvahs
and good acts kind acts versus God
forbid the other side which be the
negative things they leave their out the
sins the the unkind things we've said or
done I see mitzvot aha
all you have to do is one-one Mitzvah
and what happens if Korea at Osmo not
only do you may now determine and
there's a decision made in the weights
of the scales right for yourself what
but also for the entire world lajas go
to that Cola olam Lacoste booth that one
missile you should imagine all you do
whatever next action you take the whole
world your own scorecard in heaven is
standing in a balance and the whole
world is standing in the balance and it
just takes that one a single act that's
going to I'm gonna use the words save
the whole world determine the whole
world the judgement of the whole world
will then be determined on what you do
and he says that's why it says in the
language of a singular person or a that
you should see with your own
intellectual spiritual eye okay because
the word say hell it means intellect and
let's say ROM Bani in terms but in
Mohali in terms it means spirit so I
like to combine the two and we'll call
it the intellectual spirit okay so you
should imagine in your mind's eye in
your intellectual spirit Kiko mass of
yokte is a rule that all actions return
all actions now I know in other
religions other philosophies they might
be called Karma there's different
phraseology 'he's a boomerang effect
what you do is going to affect the
masses it's going to come back but it's
not going to come back only to you it's
going to come back lift make em see with
your mind's eye that what you do is
going to affect the world
the coolest em and that's exactly why
let's stop there second let's look at
this Gomorrah in kaduche in'
and I don't know if I copied it over for
you so did I yeah I think I did so it
starts like this
tunner abundant Leola the rabbi's taught
in a ricer that always may Allah always
yira Adam at smoke evil Hetzel Caiaphas
Ezio Sakai a man should imagine himself
okay reading the Hebrew now as if half
of this half of his life have this
merits right is is either than to the
negative and half is it to the positive
meaning to say that's as if there's a
count there's actually an account once
you think right because we know reward
and Punishment is knowing this reward
and Punishment is one of the thirteen
fundamental principles of Judaism but
one should imagine that the count is
equal and it comes out it's gonna result
it if you just do one Mitzvah I see
Mitzvah Arthas Ashraf great not only
great career ox belicoff school right
that your your the the scales is going
to benefit you
it's going to go towards the positive
side because we're always judging by the
majority okay
I don't need on our Ruben finally over
there are cos if God forbid one did a
single sin Euler was to him she Korea's
ox Makarova so not only for him is it
bad
okay but there's a verse in Co helis so
when we look at Ecclesiastes that's go
helis 918 the English is not the
greatest because it says wisdom is
better than weapons that's fine but a
single Rogue rogue means like what is
rogue mean but here it's actually in
Hebrew it's it's a sin a single rogue
single sin can ruin a great deal of good
so the Hebrew says like this
[Music]
the high-tech hard once in yeah
Beethoven Harvey can destroy so much
good okay knowing that going back into
the governor Beshear said UCD Shikata
obeyed me manner
Tovah Harvey on account which will one
sing a single sin so much good can be
lost
ok so now having that in mind going back
to the Kriya car he says like this
our parsha Renee leads us this idea of
see I'm placing before you a blessing a
curse now tell me where did the blessing
curse actually take place it took place
after we immediately after we come into
the Land of Israel so we're still thirty
days off from coming into the Land of
Israel
so whatever approximately a month a
month and a half we're gonna be standing
at this mountain these two mountains
mount greasing and not avail and there
are gonna be half of the tribes on one
Mountain half the tribes on the other
mountain ladies gonna be in the middle
is gonna be quite dramatic and they're
gonna call out these curses on these
blessings and there's gonna be our mains
being set all over the place but I'm
gonna tell you now one of the main
things and then you got to be sitting
down for this it's called a brief cutter
shot it's called a new covenant and why
is this description of hat what's
happening because it's the same Torah
see that's where a lot of people get
getting us are mistaken it's the same
Torah that's what happened we repeated a
lot of what was said but it was a deeper
commitment and you want to hear the
commitment that was made on a deeper
level it's called our vows it's called
responsibility one for another
Keshawn I'm sorry let's go back the
Indians ever partial zoo why is this
idea of one person right you're talking
to the individual the
if you do one positive act or one
negative X it's going to affect everyone
else it's exactly the reason why it's in
this parsha because this partials
dealing with Hargreaves Eamonn ha ray
Bob I'm in middle-earth me Indian hark
receive our Eva key Shona asou what
happened there the Jewish people became
and they entered what we call a new
covenant it's not a New Testament it's
not a new Torah it's the same Torah it's
a deeper commitment that all of us
became Guerin tours one for the other
meaning ready meet sana our vows Robin
its passing by Ivana your teeth and this
is leading us into Isaiah 53 that from
the aspect of the guarantor ship right
each Jew is a guarantor for the other
therefore we we the Jewish people like
the Israelites the nation and the masses
absorb or seize grasp the sin of the
individual what does that mean now
remember we said about Moses Moses was
equal to the entire nation right
and I say 50 to 53 verse 12 that's what
the Gomorrah said did Moses right we all
know Moses is described there and the
verse that we're describing here with
Moses was in return for having poured
out his soul for death right he was
willing to die he said these words and I
in Exodus 32 32 him I Mahaney now if
you're not gonna forgive them wipe me
out now there's a lot of ramifications
of why he said that it could be on one
level
he felt that maybe if God can't forgive
them
maybe the forgiveness that was given to
him is not complete there's a lot of
levels to what he was thinking there's
another aspect on a deeper level of
Cabala let's say but since I know a lot
of Benigno watch this okay
the words miss hey Nina
miss Han Nina is from Noah not set none
but no offence in other words I am a
reincarnation of not him being a
reincarnation and no there's a tika what
happened when not when Noah was told the
whole world's going to be destroyed so
this is going to be one of the
differences between a Jew and a non Jew
or let's say the more developed salt
because any non Jew can become a Jew
okay so let's call it the undeveloped
soul of knock okay that's better
so the undeveloped soak know off hears
and knows the world's going to be
destroyed and he goes away hammering 120
years of hammering okay he did his job
because anybody that came and said to
him what's going on he's as well you
know the world's would be destroyed
right so he was out there but he wasn't
proclaiming for people to do to Allah he
wasn't out there begging people to
change their ways okay and he didn't try
to negotiate with Shem either and that's
going to be one of the main differences
between Noah and Moshe first of all we
can do a whole series just how we know
that Moshe is the reincarnation of not
we're not going to go there now but I
will tell you God says to knock that men
will he's too much time on his hands
he's only gonna live to 120 years old
and if you count the whole Bible you
read the whole Bible you don't find
anybody until Moshe who lived exactly
120 years so it's kind of wet and you
know I'll just give you a few others
right Noah was saved through water right
the through the ark there's an ark so to
Moses motion was saved through water
through the little the same word is used
it's interesting because I don't know
what other words could have been used
but there's so many words that could
have been used but the word TAVR Taba is
the same word used for the boat or the
ark that was made by not so he's
basically saying I am changing I know
that Noah my previous life that it's why
I'm here to make a tegu did not beg did
not negotiate the saving of humanity I'm
gonna say I'm gonna try to save the soul
of humanity by willing to give my life
for the Jewish people willing to
negotiate my life so you don't wipe out
what you promised you like that hi I'm
okay and so that's that's another idea
so we want to move forward but I want to
sum up the idea can you try to imagine
we're talking about the Jewish people
each person has a responsibility for
everyone else see Moses is our teacher
he taught us he taught us how to live
okay so what he does we do how he prayed
we pray he taught us so much we're
imitating the only person he knows like
you know on the greatest level the truth
be told I already told you that he his
soul is the soul of the Messiah meaning
the perfected Israel okay so just think
about it for a second we have an
obligation to do true of ourselves and
we have to pray we already spoke about
this praying for other people to do
Trueba that was how verse 12 verse 12 in
Isaiah 53 ended pushing yogya he prayed
for them to do Trueba we in our prayers
every single day three times they were
praying for all of Israel to return and
do chuhwa right we learned this from
motion okay now in terms of knowing that
every single thing that we personally do
is actually going to make a difference
in this world that's what Moses knew
he knew this this one act is going to
change everything but Moses is saying
bye and now if you forgive their sin is
basically I'm willing to trade in some
of my new clothes I'm willing to trade
in some of my good merits and trade it
so that the punishment is less for them
so that is we spoke also about leaders
it's the leaders who don't give rebuke
in general they're the ones that carry
the sin of the generation we spoke about
this many times based on the the verse
that tells you to give toe haha and if
you don't give rebuke you carry the sin
so the leaders have to live up to their
responsibilities as role models right
it's not just about telling everyone
what they're doing wrong it's
encouraging people to do the right thing
and the best ways to be a role model and
this is what Moshe has taught us over
and over and over again now I want to
switch gears at this point because what
I'd like to do is go all the way to the
end
chapter 15 we'll talk about number four
briefly but I want to go to verse 10 so
I'm gonna talk about this briefly
outside if you look at verse 4 of
chapter 15 it says however there shall
be no destitute among you meaning there
will need be no poverty
let me just breathe let me just
summarize a little bit of what we're
talking about chapter 15 we're talking
about the shmita year the sabbatical
year and the Yeovil year okay what's so
important during that time all the
farmers are going to open up their gates
they're not gonna lock them they're not
going to be plowing they're not gonna be
harvesting they if they were rich which
they own a lot of property a lot of land
and they have business in all seasons
there they're no different than the poor
guy who goes through the garbage can
they're all the same meaning that every
has the right to pick three meals worth
a day from the fields
you can't even harvest more than that
okay when I say let's say you have a
family of fifteen of course you can
enough for your 15 people and your
family three meals you loved 45 meals
worth that's great that's how much
you're limited in harvesting you got to
go back the next day
so if whether you're one person or 15
people your limit everyone's limiting
everyone is like as I say I don't know
if it needs the salt of the earth but
you're basically okay we're going to get
into this idea this whole partials
dealing with the sabbatical year and the
Jubilee year is telling you this is
going to be the message it's telling you
you are not the owner of the land you do
not have a permanent residency here you
are a fleeting thought in fact the clear
car mentioned why is it 50 years for the
Jubilee he says because people are
granted 70 years on this planet right if
they're lucky that seven years the first
20 years don't count you're still young
growing educating yourself you spent 50
years acquiring things but for what
what are you requiring them for you're
not gonna be here forever you're only
gonna be here for 70 years and in fact
only 50 years worth of acquiring things
so as we all know that if you do sell
your land
why would someone sell them because they
need the money and why would someone buy
the land because they want to make money
right it's all about money and we're
going to see some interesting ideas
about that
so there are gonna be poor people there
gonna be rich people and some people who
are rich might have to sell their land
right they sell their land because they
need the money and but it's not forever
and the people who buy the land it's not
forever either it's only for up to 50
years it's gonna automatically revert
back during the Jubilee year keeping all
that in mind we're really going to be
talking about sadaqa/charity the
greatest way of giving charity is
through a loan so if someone comes and
really needs to get out of their
situation well as we all know you know
teach teaching how to fish right well
maybe needs a fishing rod maybe needs a
boat right whatever it is you want to
give the person the best fighting shot
at having a par Noah of having a
livelihood so a a loan is not only most
beneficial but for his own self-worth as
opposed to a handout that needs to pay
back and that he doesn't pay back having
a loan which you feel responsible paying
back it also motivates you to be
somewhat successful right okay so a load
is the best way to save face also you
don't want to put the person down and
make them feel bad but giving a loan is
a big difference than then receiving a
handout and with that in mind so after
it says in verse 4 right there will be
no destitute among you we're talking
about if you do the right thing you're
listening to God you're keeping
Commandments we'll look at verse 11
verse 11 says destitute people will not
cease from within the land it's a
seemingly contradictory of each other
correct one says that there will not be
any more destitute people and verse 11
sounds like there always will be so we
have to say
so Rashi on one level says well what is
talking about when we're doing the will
of God because it says you should surely
listen and only if you listen fine and
the other one is when we're not that's
one way of looking at it the clear car
has a more in-depth way I'm not going to
go that much into it I want to move more
stick to some ideas on the outside so
this is going to bring us to the
gomorrah and Baba Batra which you can
find on your source sheets page 12
number 33 so before we actually enter
this Gomorrah in Deuteronomy 1510 so
when you give this alone you should
surely give him and your heart shall not
be grieved when you give to him so not
auntie taillow you should surely give
them below your alla vodka it should not
be a bad feeling in your heart but he
taught color when you give it to him PBT
be glad of our house that these words
are very strange it's because of this
thing that God will bless you you've our
car hashem elokenu the Hamas a car masa
masa called the called miss lock God in
all of your actions and all of your
endeavors fine
so obviously if we want to say what does
it mean the Glau keep the Glau had devar
has a simple shot is because of this
thing that you did not have this evil or
this hardness in your heart when you
gave the loan when you gave the person
to charity another reason why when you
give a loan you actually should give it
knowing you may not be able to get it
back in other words you can't afford to
give the loan as a charity gift you
shouldn't give the loan
because you're not allowed to be a
creditor you can't call the guy and say
look I really need the money back
complain when can you have it you can't
put pressure on him
that's if you send them to Agra MA on
the other hand they can become ox not as
an individual that has the same
restrictions when you give a loan you're
not allowed to call the guy dates up
know when they're gonna gonna pay you
can figure out a way to remind him in a
kind way but let him know there's no
pressure so therefore it's better than
when you give that loan it's really in
your heart a gift so here we see that if
you give this loan you're not supposed
to have this bad or negative feeling and
then it says because of this thing what
is this thing so it could go back on the
feeling you have in your heart but
whatever it is you're gonna be blessed
okay so the word devar means thing but
what else could it mean word exactly
okay very nice so let's look at the
Kimura and this is gonna be a little bit
interesting because it's not off topic
but it's an introduction to why this
Gomorrah is even being brought up so
armored Rebbe Itzhak anyone that gives a
proto Kol had no taint prota fruit is a
very small amount of money it's just not
even worth talking about it's just a few
cents but it doesn't matter no matter
how much you give in other words the
minimum amount to a poor person MIT
Berea Commission mine has God from
heaven is going to bless you with six
blessings Bashara hook and if that's not
enough listen to this I'm a fly so but
the varam as high and mentioned what's
devar words now we understand if if
right here there is we said that because
of this matter because of these words if
you speak consoling and with some
consolation and kind words to this poor
person guess what the gomorrah says it's
mid barrage Broca's area profits you
will be blessed with eleven blessings
now what do we talk about here we're
talking about we actually give the
person so you you you're gonna give the
guy money that's six blessings and you
speak kind words encouraging words
that's another 11 that is 17 blessings
what if you don't give him and you only
speak kind words guess what if you don't
have the money to give you'll get the
elected brocco for this kind words but
if you have what they give him and you
don't give him that's not so good
so basically we're talking about 11
bless them where do we know these from
interestingly enough it's from chapter
58 of Isaiah listen to the words I want
to show you the words themselves because
they actually have it down here at the
bottom okay let's say what the verse
says it is to share your bread with the
hungry that's where you have an
obligation to do you have bread share it
with the angry and to take the wretched
poor into your home the morning the ones
that are moaning the more the moaning
pour into your home that's another
obligation and when you see the naked
meaning someone with dirty clothes were
and they don't fit him anymore or even
naked
you should clothe them and not to ignore
your own kin not to write even people
you know your own family you should take
care of them as well now how is it
broken down we mentioned there are six
blessings so the verse says then shall
your light burst forth to the dawn and
your healing spring up quickly your
Vindicator shall march before you it
means your kind acts are going to
precede you the presence of the Lord
shall be your rear guard then when you
call the Lord will answer when you cry
he will say Here I am
all those are the six blessings just for
this diverse it's not like I'm making
this up that was verse seven
now you have verse 8 and 9 it's really
clear right there verse 8 and 9 are
telling you the blessings these are all
blessings that I'm sure that you want
now that's just from giving that's just
from giving what about if you speak kind
words listen to verse 10 this is
something you should do and you offer
your compassion to the hungry what do
you think it means when you're offering
compassion we already spoke about money
we already spoke about bread we spoke
about bringing it to your home we talked
about giving clothes that was in the
previous verse verse 7 here with Tom but
offering compassion and to satisfy the
famished creature okay so those words
that's what it says in 10 now if you
continue the verse till 12 these are the
eleven things that you're blessed with
then shall your light shine in darkness
and your gloom shall be like noonday the
lord will guide you always he will sate
your a thirst in in in parched places
and give strength to your bones you
shall be like a watered garden like a
spring whose waters do not fail men from
your miss shall rebuild ancient cities
number 9 you shall restore foundations
laid long ago number 10 you shall be
called the repairer of falling walls and
number 11 you shall be called a restorer
of sri leme of the TiVoed lanes for
habitation so that that's a beautiful
piece interesting enough that's also in
Isaiah as I mentioned Isaiah chapter 58
so we're learning a lot about sadaqa in
terms of this piece as I mentioned it's
dealing with shemitah but now I want to
actually read the clear car that was an
introduction so it says the word big Lao
it could have used the word pavor or
miss viel that's the common word we use
to say on account of or because of so
big law was also a common word
but it's unusual here keep the glove
head of our house there because on
account of this give our Africa Hashem
she's gonna bless you so we just read no
we didn't read it yet we're gonna read
it surely that's Shabbos 151 B we're
gonna learn out that the word big Lau is
related to this concept of gal gal who
sure heizaburo oil on goggle is a wheel
that is constantly turning around or
coming and returning back to the earth
and the world so let me give you a
little bit of idea we're going to be
talking about poverty poverty is
something that moses told us he teaches
us we have to pray we have to pray that
it doesn't affect us and we should also
pray that it doesn't affect our children
because it's likely to it's like a wave
that goes around the world it goes from
one person to another right the person
who's wealthy and doesn't give charity
the next day he could be on the
receiving end and then the one who was
receiving charity the next day he'll be
on the giving in then we're going to
talk about some Kabbalistic ideas of
male and female men she's a male aspect
is called a giver okay the female at not
all everyone everyone has both okay
we all have both aspects mount and
female men and women have both but let's
say men have a little bit more character
of giving and women have a little bit
more the character of receiving that's
just the way the world works okay why
did I get it to that we'll see so that's
the statement in the Gomorrah and I
think at this point what we should do is
look at the Gomorrah real quick
okay where do I have it here it is now
this is interesting because since
protomatter is a 53 and it's a messianic
prophecy guess what
the Rambam postions like this and the
gomorrah is gonna discuss the opinion of
Shmuel Shmuel set da marche more aimed
bain holem Azealia most mushiya Elysee
Padma feels build odd this is the
Gomorrah in shabbos 151 a that there is
no difference between this world that we
are experiencing right now and the world
when the Messiah comes there's gonna be
no difference except one one difference
now the truth is I think it's a
magnificent difference and I think it's
a really a game-changer in every way I
don't think it's such a small thing the
difference is that there's shame Shaboom
all fields build on the only difference
is that the the nations are not
going to be enslaving us or putting us
down I mean the whole world's gonna be a
different world but okay let's say like
that so what is the what is the
statement coming to why is the Gomorrah
bringing the statement because how did
we start off in verse 50 chapters 15
verse 11 it says that the poor poverty
will never cease from the earth losing
in poverty will never I thought Messiah
comes there won't be any poverty didn't
you think that no youth knew there was
gonna be poverty okay so
the truth is there is many ways to
understand this and we're going to go
into it a little bit maybe I should try
to explain some of it now there could be
like this
amongst the Jewish people there won't be
any poverty that's one way to explain it
like we said when the Jewish people are
doing the will of Hashem there won't be
any poverty however it does say it will
never cease well the way the carrot
hearts it doesn't say me arts aha
it doesn't say from your land it says
from the world from the earth so amongst
outside the land there might still be
poverty but in Israel they won't be
poverty that's one way to look at it
another way to say this is according to
this opinion we're still going to be
doing mitzvahs so God doesn't want to
wipe out poverty in its entirety because
it's a big Mitzvah so what he means is
that it's very rare one in each city
you'll find one person in each city's
poor not that poverty will be not that
they would break kilo Yakka there won't
be a cessation but there it would be so
rare so that Jews that the people notes
world can still fulfill the mitzvot of
giving sadaqa okay but there won't be
poverty per se but there will still be
some but so far and few between
okay so the can war goes on and it
brings a brighter Rebbe a la siroque a
power set well uhm uvaca shamrock a meme
almeida zu every person should really
pray hard that he does not become
impoverished no no what does that mean
we spoke last week everything is in the
hand of heaven except for the fear of
heaven well guess what if that that
means that whether what how old I'm
going to live or how rich I'm going to
be is not up to me
I can work so hard where I can work so
little
whatever God decreed for me I'm going to
get anyway so if this is true how can
you change it how does prayer come to
change it well it does guess what
we're gonna say that it's like this wave
or a wheel that's going to turn around
in the world how how we're gonna say
that we're going to introduce it like
this
shopping boat shaf em whoo Lobo even if
you pray and you don't get poor you
don't become impoverished guess what
Boban know it could come to your
children
Viva no lo bah then Vinoba and if it
doesn't come to your children meaning
the poverty then it might come to your
grandchildren now how do we know this
from my verse as we said you should
surely give not having any bad feelings
in your heart and when you give to knit
when you give to him keep the Glau had
of our hands that because of remember
the word big law we're going to focus on
that word big love because of this thing
so the Rebbe you tional taught in his
Beit Midrash can goggle who should hoody
to be olaf it's like a wheel that
constantly comes back into the world now
we could talk on a Kabbalistic level
about reincarnation but i prefer to
leave that out for today we're talking
about a wave that goes around this world
that if it's not you it could be the
next guy it can hit anyone at any time
it's a wave or it's a wheel well it's
called the wheel of fortune the wheel of
fortune okay so it what goes up right
when you turn it what's on top one day
and whoever is on the bottom one day and
you turn it and it's the opposite
the do-more continues says rob yo safe
not keen on meaning we have a tradition
in our hand hide sorbitol rub on it
those those rabbis no more onion they
don't become poor now we know plenty of
poor rabbis don't we
but the gomorrah says they don't become
poor ah so what does look more
immediately say
ha ha ha Zenon domani we actually see
that they do become poor this is the way
of the Gomorrah the Gomorrah is full of
integrity you make a statement it's
gonna argue with you it's going to say
one second how can you say such a thing
so if you're more says right away how
can you say such a thing we see that
there are some poor rabbis so the more
answers a Mesa domani if they do become
poor I had during a piece girl Omaha da
when it comes to knocking on doors they
don't knock on doors I don't know about
you I get plenty of seeming rabbis knock
you know what maybe it means that
they're not really Tommy they call me
maybe maybe they have another way to
collect maybe they don't but we'll talk
about first of all comedy for coming
will not resolve out themselves to go
knock on doors okay
maybe they'll find $100 in the street
maybe they win the lottery maybe someone
else will come forward and take care of
them knocking on the doors sure look at
mega another idea is that Tommy they ha
ha Meem are not they don't they know how
to live on a very small budget and
therefore they're actually okay right
there may be impoverished but not that
impoverished they need to knock on doors
comes rebbe fear and he says to his wife
let it be - ah he says to his wife kiosk
Nyonya if a poor person ever comes to
the door when a poor person knocks from
the door d-mail a rift ax I want you to
go and give him bread as quick as
possible
jihei key the laqad mood the Levon that
huh
now this is really a weird statement
basically he's telling her when the poor
person comes don't let them wait go and
give them the bread as quick as possible
because if God forbid your children ever
need it it's like karma right or me
measure for measure that if they ever
need they'll get it quickly if they ever
become so impoverished that they go
knocking on doors or whatever the story
is they've become virus that bread will
come to them quickly what do you think
is why it's gonna say to him what are
you cursing our children
you're telling me go quickly to the door
give the bread so that doesn't come back
on our children
I'm relay me latke Lomita clue who are
you cursing the children I'm our law he
says back there
no look at the verse Cora Eve our
verse says keep the glad of our zet it's
because of this matter we're talking
about giving charity with an open heart
a kind heart a willing heart
it's footed rubbish Mel's tell us that
the word big Lau is related to Gaga who
should close Rolla
somehow another this idea it's like a
wheel that goes around the world so he's
telling her look we might not be poor
but it could come on to our children
obviously we have to pray now the Bryce
is gonna end with rubber and comely owl
says in the name of the son of Rebbe he
used to say now what did he say he
brought this verse it's only part of the
verse I'm going to talk about but this
is ear Haneda hat you're not supposed to
take any of the spoils of a city of idol
worship you're supposed to burn the
entire city down so you go ahead and
burn the whole city down and burn all
the schlau all the spoils it says that
God will give you mercy and be merciful
to you and multiply you what is the
double language understand the not on
the haka mean if God's going to give you
mercy and then raha Mehta
I'm sorry kumki he's going to be
merciful to you the hero huh and he's
going to multiply it it's it's it sounds
awkward that you have this extra
language of it he's already giving you
mercy what does it mean he's gonna be
merciful to you so if you examine the
words carefully
he met the gamora's basically pointing
this out we already said he's gonna give
you mercy
so why the double language he's going to
be merciful to you so the answer the
Kimura is gonna give you is basically
like this
when Merce God says I'm gonna give you
mercy and mercy is gonna give to you
what what's that purpose of God's mercy
to you in order for you to give to other
people and a result of giving to other
people then God is going to give you
more mercy when you get mercy God
responds with mercy that's what it means
and the Hebrew here is Chicago Marathi
MyLab Rios write that anyone who is
merciful upon other people shows
compassion baraja me no loud miniature
mine men is gonna be cashed compassion
shown to you from heaven and the
opposite of was also true the whole
Shayna maroc a mullah breo's anyone who
is not compassionate to other people
aim Iraq Amin all love militiamen then
the compassion will not be shown to you
go heaven okay I think this is very
these are good fundamentals for life
there's no question about it but we only
started examining the clear car so let's
go back into the clear car he
immediately says rob him Tom whoo-hoo
Allah Allah Shawn this whole big Lao and
Gaga is a very weird comparison first of
all there's a gimel missing right gimel
ahmed gimel love it
he was telling me that's from big lau so
you know what he says yeah watch this
keep the glove in a Russian Gaga he
begins by telling you what the problem
is the word big Lau does not mean a
wheel ah sure a gimbal a hasta Sarah you
have a good moment
and you really want to take guests now
why the gimbals missing
gibble stands for go Mel Hesse and when
you're lacking the gimel
you're not kind you're not bringing a
charity to people you're not helping
people so big lousy this is why poverty
could come to to you okay but let's go
on he says that behold you have a give
all that's missing okay this is what I'm
going to tell you he says the Omer I
need what huzzah means but the word God
big Lau on account of is from the
language of let's go to Genesis chapter
29 verse 3 okay so Yaakov meets up and
there is a large stone all covering the
well Rachel as well so in order to
remove it right it needs help so it says
the gollu at to Evan
they rolled off the stone so it means to
roll the Glau because even when we think
in English because of there's a reason
there's a rolling over of right at least
I see it in English anyway so the word
the Gullah loo even though it's a gibble
llama diamond it's still demo la McGee
Mohammed there's still a essence of the
word meaning she's girl honey
bein enoshima's ellezi can min ago that
poverty rolls it rolls it goes from one
group of people or one person to another
it just slides and rolls between people
as the world is built so us give our f
aha
what is that again if you give with a
full heart with not a bad heart God will
bless you and cause not to have this
Rome on you for fall as your the fate of
many people it won't be your lot
cause you're a replica Shem the ye groom
shall know you go there below you're not
yet not pale aloha before Elanna shame
what normally falls on people won't fall
on you
Leila Shama Ihnen aadhavan McGaha Bolam
to gaga
so what do we hear from it we hear that
this thing this poverty rolls around in
the world like a look like a like a tire
like like a wheel shakaal no tane sofa
Lyoto makka bell anyone that gives will
one day be a receiver now we understand
what the rabbi was telling his wife ki
kahani that the : M team the coach los
alamos this is the way of the world now
there are four worlds God in he's in the
highest of heavens but then you have
angels and other spirits then you have
man and then you have animals now where
did the Gentiles fit in there's two
types of Gentiles there's been a no off
they're gonna be with the man and what
about the the Gentiles who don't believe
in God and don't keep the seven Noahide
laws they're gonna be down below with
the animals okay because that's how they
live their lives but Benet Noah who live
their lives straight with Hashem they're
gonna be in the middle with that with
with all the humans okay so every one of
these three lower levels are both male
and female they're both on the receiving
and the giving end Hashem is the giver
that just keeps giving and he doesn't
need anything he doesn't receive
anything but the angels they get from
Hashem shellfish God gives them the
energy and they in turn also give so
they receive from Hashem and they give
to us we receive from them and give to
the lower world the lower world you
would think it's just on the receiving
end but even they have male and female
in the animal kingdom okay
in the animal kingdom you have male and
female so they're constantly giving and
taking from each other so based on that
listen to this we've just said that in
the end you're gonna be both if you give
in the
you're gonna be receiver in the end
shikaka me Derby : MC because that's the
way it works in this world in these
three worlds that anyone who gives
should called no tame you shook the
earth macabre anyone who gives in the
end he's gonna be a receiver
just like he explains in parshas Bray
sheet on the Omaha sheshe I basically
summed it up for you guys should we call
an insane so all existence everything
that God created all a cadaver BC vodka
goggle it all works in a liquor wheel
it's it's flowing there's a flow of
give-and-take should call it hide me I'm
noticing the cowbell eat everything
that's created in the world is created
male and females God said male and
female I created them the whole world
built ehm the vados only Hashem alone
he is a giver and not a taker now to
continue the reason for the matter is as
I mentioned earlier very much earlier in
the in the shear that God does not want
man to feel as if he has a stronghold
and a permanent residence in this world
shal oritse sham she heard the myth
kazakh Barretts who does ro dah dah la
God does not want mankind and not only
man but his progeny to field that
they're gonna be here forever that's why
in in Leviticus 25 23 this whole parsha
dealing with Schmitt and Jubilee is that
the the land shall not be sold
perpetuate li-like forever
Keely arts God wants us to know that the
world belongs to him
so if this character trait had not have
absurd long page yeah if this character
trait of poverty this media had not come
into the world at all so this would not
have been very good for man because man
would have this feeling of of eternality
and he would forget that the whole world
belongs to a chef
that's why God brings poverty into the
world so people know that they're not
here forever there's this upswing and
downswing one day you're rich one day
you're pork not maybe you but maybe you
in a full existence of wealth and then
your children maybe your grandchildren
some point I might lose that wealth or
maybe then maybe they never had it and
it's all for the sake of label Hadiya to
know and be informed
kiku lumpke Gary my Lawrence we are all
like Gary we're all like strangers
that's what I mean this is like amazing
right we're dealing with garam all the
time with the love Daguerre we have to
remember the Weber Gary right that we
were strangers in a strange land called
Egypt this is not a permanent world even
now when you have a nice home full of
marble and and steel it's this is not
the real world this is a a temporary
world that we're passing through but
rather it's Hashem the world belongs to
a Shem not to you and now we understand
what the word ki big Lao because the
reason this is mythical al al on oisin
it's like a wave it's constantly moving
the circle is moving around kylo yocto
avionic era of Haaretz probably will not
cease from the earth and that's why it
says alkane Inoki Mitsuba column or
potage tick-tock s yotaka la nieta ha
you're supposed to God says therefore I
command you to surely open your hand to
your impoverished it's amazing I mean
you're impoverished today Shahid no
gamla ha old Asura ha in other words
you're gonna open your hand because in
the end you're gonna be in the receiving
end you're opening to yourself but not
both not you and your children it's
going to be one or both now what I saw
is that you should all pray and the best
way to pray is with a family get your
kids and grandchildren if everyone's
together
for not not to be impoverished there's a
greater chance of success but this is
all the idea we spoke for last few weeks
Mazal right means how long I'm gonna
live where if I'm going to be rich or
poor through prayer which is a great
scoop it's a great merit it's a great
action that alone can change your fate
right if we're going along with the idea
that this has nothing to do with you
it's all written before you're even born
that can change first of all there's no
Mazel be strapped what does that mean
that the Jewish people are not stuck in
fate because we have the tools Moshe
obey no Moses our teacher taught us how
important prayer was and this is one of
them to keep the clouds there okay how
important prayer is that you can change
your fate better this last piece HRM
Shaklee Cerrone Gitmo remember I
mentioned that there's a gimbal missing
in the word big la it's not Gaga low
Martians and in shock me I've learned
many Ithaca Mills Kassadin it's it's
coming this this this poverty is coming
because you all it's an extension that's
measure for measure you've already drawn
forth from the sin it's all coming
because of the sin of preventing
yourself from go mal hesed jameelah's
Kassadin acts of kindness the gimel it
needs to be stone when you cease to
bestow on others
you're missing the gimel god forbid this
is gonna come and haunt you
[Music]
okay so what I want to do I want to
welcome everyone home to Tara right so
where do we begin start learning right
we spoke about disloyal Jews people have
turned their back
I beg you look you know the Jewish
people are promised it's an eternal
people it's up to you do you want to be
part of that right there's no changing
it the Jews will live with or without
you but don't you want to be part of
what we would call like the greatest
depository of wisdom of success of brava
right God says I place before you the
blessing and the curse so it's up to you
it's let me let me go through this a
little bit it's the God speaks in haria
about the Sun of righteousness s UN it's
the Sun that's pounding down on this
earth I'm going to open up the source
sheets because I think it was towards
the end of the beginning
it's in Milwaukee okay Milwaukee 19 at
3:19 and Mark III 20 so first of all
let's go to lamentations 3:8 38 if what
is a clog you would think it's something
emanating from Hashem that's negative
right God is the God who gives blessing
and he's also the one that brings curse
is a curse and negative thing we're
gonna see that ultimately it's not but
it's there's at equal it's there to fix
us God wants to bring us into the
eternal life with all good so we need a
little bit of fixing right but in
lamentations 338 it says me PA yo
notates a Kairos lotto nothing bad comes
from God
you're not even calling it good so what
is it it's what you make of it look at
Malathi 3:19 write that in the end of
days the son is going to be released
from its sheath we're talking about this
thing that who knows how many thousands
of degrees centigrade it's going to be
released the heats going to be released
and for those people who are evil
it says the Sun that comes shall burn
them up it's the S UN okay the Sun is
gonna burn them up global warming
maybe now 320 of Malathi says wait it's
that same Sun of mercy the SU and of
mercy is going to rise with healing in
its wings for those who fear of shadow
so the example is we've given before is
that it's the Sun it's the same Sun and
it's gonna have different effects for
example you have wax which is hard and
it's sitting on a windowsill and your
car wherever it is and the Sun hits it
and it like loop right it just melts and
it's it's soft what about an egg an egg
is soft
I'm not talking at the shell tell me
what's in it trust me you don't open it
up you've opened up enough in your life
okay so you have this egg you put it out
in the Arizona heat you're the Negev and
then a lot or in Jerusalem in in August
you leave it out for a few hours in the
Sun or maybe on the roof of your car
what's gonna happen it's gonna be a
hard-boiled egg it's the same s UN that
takes something or creates take
something that's soft and make it hard
or something that hard and make it soft
so - let's talk about the covets the one
who goes down to the river to do laundry
he goes down to the river laundry what
happens to his face gets darker from the
Sun he's been out I don't know
going like this with the clothing and
Ripley in the hot Sun so he's now his
face is a little bit darker what
happened to the clothes that were
sitting on the line it's bleached the
Sun can actually bleach it takes away
the dye it's the same Sun can make
something darker so it's about the
receiving whoever's only receiving it
how are we going to receive the Baraka
or the Koala the blessing or the curse
that's up to us that's where free will
comes in am i serving God with my out of
joy out of my will in my rut zone where
am I going to end up serving God so to
speak resentfully miserably because no
matter what it's gonna happen
question is where am I so I welcome you
all once again home to Torah this is a
place to be happy this is a place to get
into the the word of Hashem right and to
rewire your brain and to think
positively and to think about God which
is pure goodness and I wish everyone a
shabbat shalom and welcome home once
again
