[Music] I'm sorry for this big delay but guess what it's raining heavily juice alas I don't know 24 hours that's great isn't it so I know you're all praying for rain aren't you everyone around the world get up praying for rain for Israel and you know there's all these of the rain we have special prayers that we've been involved with for a long time now hey what I'd like to do it I'm not sure I gave you the right sheets I think I did so it's more number two in the Shelf and arrow Karen I'm really apologizing I didn't give you the translation we do who have been using the translation as well I'm sure I mean the next time I'll send it to you no I gave you the Hebrew so if you have Hebrew it looks like this yeah but I didn't send you the translation so what I'll do next time I'll send you the link it's a link on it on a right so I send you the links from the previous classes on the show tomorrow on the whole office series that was two parts just to discuss that first paragraph so now we're going to talk about paragraph two and probably three needs a chef today maybe you will see how far we get yeah I did give you it will call bet gibble and dollar so that says hamas heel it a name lifts nay you know what let me just start over I just want to say hi everybody welcome because we're also the camera besides all the people here are live audience and on skype so we're gonna continue the luffa series and we're on paragraph two in the first chapter I'm asking the timing lift name borrow so once you get a very early we're going to talk about how early and that perhaps even in the middle of the night in order to back in here is a supplicate before our Creator yes having Lucia Ulta she mention mich donnaught Amish merit a mission I wrote so believe it or not these heavenly watches that we're talking about are the times that the Angels themselves change how would you say change go the garden is a a guard change in heaven I'll tell you I'll tell you something I mentioned last night to class the real world the world that really exists is the spiritual world this world is only an illusion and like when we say God created the world something from nothing right yes me ayan something from nothing or in Latin it's only Latin word I know ex nihilo he created the world something from nothing right it was it's not true it is true that's not true what we mean is that God created the physical world from the spiritual world the spiritual world is the real world and this world is a an illusion and we're going to talk about it later on the parsha series because there was no water it's as they complain there was no what I'm going to find that they were not studying Scripture they they were in the desert and they were lacking Torah they were weakened Torah and therefore there was no water because the Torah is compared to water okay so the water didn't exist because of the spiritual aspect that we were lacking in Torah we were lacking in the spiritual therefore there was a physical manifestation of hey Chris welcome so basically when we get up we should get up in the middle of the night and we'll talk about the time and and we should target it how then we should try to pinpoint the time that of the changing of the heavenly guards and shahane fish leash kalila okay so has he translated it's one third of the night the socially shillelagh so there's three guards at the two differ changes in the middle and at the end to the South she hits Fela shits power button Asha oats what's the prayers that we should be praying at that time we should be praying can you imagine this is what we're praying about I'll have four bun oh I'll have galoot tyrunt's ouya that we should be diving for the we should be praying for the over the destruction of the temple and on the exile that it should be finished that it should be rebuilt the temple should be rebuilt and that the exile should be complete and we should be returned can you imagine this is this is the shelter of the second law this is what we should be doing one day this wall will be abolished can you imagine saying such a thing that our law should be abolished let's see in the mission room does he mention anything they just Inglot now and the page not at all okay so the mystery bird does not mention anything okay so the next fell off I told you it's going to go through with it you know a little bit quicker royal a code Eurasian I am it's fitting for anybody who has a proper and healthy all of God she admits it mate ser the Doeg bun beta Macduff that they should be pained and worried about the fact that we have no temple okay as he translated exactly as I said and today I want to do this piece yeah boy hmm royally cold yeah okay so I don't know how much of it will read he says makuu Pauline a Rethymno would be going to - kya mosquitoes ki Bravo he the Mystics the Mystics they go at length a great lengths to talk about how great a virtue it is to get up in the middle of the night and and do this and pray about the destruction of the temple and he mentions that there are many of our C Doreen our prayer books have the prayers and I think that we will end up skipping most of this is that right no I'll start reading it and on the side when garnet pass BC during Seder on hugga LP kiss VII Ariza according to the IRAs ah there's many writings that are you'll find in the seed or organized prayers Allah for bond enough ano teshya code them cuts outs mods - I did skip something whose market so soon Tammy absolutelly lamashtu comical so there's going to be a different there's going to be a candidate reduce the word of not focus and my focus means and argue argument amongst the rabbi's exactly when midnight is some say it's gonna be the same time every night no matter where you are so that would be according to the clocks that we use today and some will usually call Jewish time we split up the night into 12 equal hours like we split up the day into 12 equal hours which means during the winter those 12 hours at night will be longer than 60 minutes and during the day in the summer they will be longer than 60 minutes and vice versa the opposite in the winter okay because we have a shorter nights in the summer and the feeling Politis our clothes are catarrhalis it's always 12 hours okay that's good the first opinion she says if I ain't led to owning a LeFort about Nathanial ter she a coded cut so smart that the time to really supplicate about the destruction of the temple its most proper just a little bit before midnight and then from midnight onwards I'm a hot zone but a lazy our saboteur on this is the time to devote yourself in learning Torah this is what mm Ella King David he got up in the middle of the night how did he get up there was a heart above his bed and the window was open and a northern wind which Hashem produced always made music on his heart and he was able to get up although the question is he actually was already up just to know exactly when midnight was Luba saw how Lila avati Asarco at the end of the night you should seek you know request from a Shem your needs and we talked about this idea of saying modere I mean I know that mayor asked me was it is it okay for a non Jew to say mote that on me the answer is yes I think that was your question or may are you still there we watched okay so what would you ask me about something he had a hard time sleeping whether or not they should say it is that what you asked me but you don't need to say it twice as far as I know but the first time if your intended to go right back to sleep I don't think you need to say if you're gonna get up and you don't gonna be up for a while and you had a good night's sleep let's say you had four hours or six hours that's enough for you you should say both Don do you think you're gonna be up maybe you'll be up for an hour or two it's perfectly fine to say mode I knew that now there's nothing wrong with really saying it twice because the gods name is not mentioned in it so it's certainly not a brothel of a TOA it's not a useless concept to be and time in your hope being so grateful that God returned your soul you mean we say modani all day long I mean there's really nothing wrong with it you say anything wrong none so but I think that if you tend to go immediately back to sleep you just having a hard time I wouldn't really say modani at the time but if you're gonna get up for a time and learn Torah if you had a good night's sleep already then it's perfectly legitimate to say now the modani maybe I'll send Karen and it's a it's a stay it's not really a blessing but a statement of gratitude that Hashem returned to her soul and that we talked about in part one or two so I'll send you the singing the pretty down in fact Kathy made beautiful notes so maybe she'll send them to you Kathy if you could do that I'll send you Karen's an email address yeah yeah correct for a woman correct and say use the feminine I am grateful moved up okay and I think we're gonna skip down to get up for debate that make - so right now interestingly enough he mentions that every time that we eat okay it's a nude out of Corbin basin make - even though oh maybe the one before that she ain't much there about a toe feel you have a simple very important one even though in the middle of that we get up and we're in pain and we're worried about the fact that we have no temple as it was mentioned that's what we do we pray there with a lot of feeling of anguish but then it says then that to learn Torah when you learn Torah you have to be the simpler this is the Word of God that is entering our hearts and our minds and our soul and our whole being and I'm not gonna say it's austere because if you depress you so learn Torah right there's no it's urgent for bidness I think it is forbidden to be depressed so if you are depressed get out of it so he says right that when it says we should do this within a state of sadness but that when it comes to Torah learning scripture and prayer you should be in a state of joy so you're talking could make all class about how we can achieve that state but you understand how important that is now when we talked about the formula made to make - the fact that we're praying over the the destruction the fact that it's destroyed the sluttish writes that every time we have a meal don't you know meal with bread that we washed our hands and a bread with so before we do the beer kata Mazzone before we do the grace after meals any other way to translate that like okay please we save the Tehillim or on the high rose bevelle and that is regarding the destruction in the exile of the jewish people going into babylon in order to remember even though we're in a state of Simcoe and we bench even like at Lenox Jewish weddings we break a cup we put ashes on the forehead it's right where Ash Wednesday wouldn't come out about that's a Christian thing but there were the destruction of the temple we put ashes on the bridegroom that's what the man is called the bride the groom which is love the groom the comb I don't like a bride group but maybe you guys know we put ashes there's a many things when we build a home there's a thing called sacral ofor but it's a little piece like one I'm an omelet is a cubit by a cubit left unpainted across from the doorway when you walk in to remember that we're not complete there's something missing we're missing the Messiah we're missing the time where the base of make this will be rebuilt and the Exiles movement brought in not exactly that order but it doesn't matter the point is that we know that there's something lacking so during the weekday when we bench when we bench that's the blessing after the meals we do that tough that song but on Shabbos and also in y'all mean tow beam we say the other ones called sheer amazos and that is we were like dreamers and were such a happy state when we will the main thing is recur she ate the moussaka Omar the main thing is all of the toxin unum all of the prayers whatever we're doing it's important we understand exactly what we're saying and we have special intent in the heart from the words that we express so if you have to start and say these things in English or even as just beginning if you want to start with just one paragraph and then really you know get to know well and then start with the second paragraph and do it in stages so you're not overwhelmed but the main point is to have intense to understand what you're saying which goes along with the next interesting Halawa it says tote this is Dalek now number four Tove meiotic a new name the cavada made Harvey below come on it since there really are many many many prayers in Judaism and walk around with books right you were praying all the time some of these prayers are will call obligatory right whether there's the schwa or this one s right but some of them and of course benching after the meals many of them are regarding the destruction of the temple and to bring the Jewish people back home and we're crying and wailing and it gets that's why they call it the Wailing Wall but it's the Western Wall it says this is a very important haha that it's better to minimize and say less with meaning than say a whole lot without any feeling or meaning to it so once we know what the priorities right we already said right the Shema and the Mondavi silent prayer those are like you know what what is from the Torah the other one is from the rabbi's it's mandatory and the rest is also mandatory but it's let's just put it to the side and say that it's better to say less with more meaning you can actually diminish these you don't can't diminish the schemata this one s right but you can diminish these diminish meetings say less and have more intent than God forbid trying to just maybe a robot just to the other side just to say it so that's it that's read for today for shocked and horrified [Music]
