Home2Torah Can just any man carry the sin of others? Nitzavim

[Music] we have Nick we got Isaac I don't know I got pictures of everyone else was not there okay so ready ready to get moving then jamming and going deep down into the rabbit hole yep we love it okay so one of the main things we're going to focus in on is these words in parshat net saw beam parsha schnitzel beam that's chapter 29 of deuteronomy starting with verse 9 we understand this as a I'm gonna use these word a Brit hadashah mmm have you heard those words before of course as a new covenant okay it's a renewal of the Covenant it's important to clarify it's a renewal not a new covenants build upon one another they don't do away with one another it's another level of commitment yep and we're gonna see it black and white I hope but if Hashem will open our eyes to see the truth okay the first verse attempted to be my Yom you are standing here cool cam all of you so that really encompasses everybody but interestingly enough the verse then delineates who is standing before Shannon right at em Nitsa be my uncle cam live now a sham okay Pam all of you were standing here today before the Lord your God now what is your translation I guess you're using mine but what does your book say it says row shake em shift take em two separate words mm-hmm SiC Nathan this show Trey can is evolved by the word officers so you have heads you have tribes you have elders and all you have officers and then it says cold Easter al all the Jewish men so the first thing one of the things he points out is this is really awkward because all the other times that Moses brings everyone to other there that you never see a delineation and a detailed list like you're already seeing and then the next verse says top cam now shake em the Gurkha your children and your wives your children your wives you notice there's no love it's two children your army your wives and and your proselytize the converts wash Arabic Arif Mahon aha which are in the midst of your camp and then it's may hotel a chat huh from the hewers of wouldn't ill the drawers of water I'd show aiming Mecca and of course then the next verse we're going to deal with as well the Arvika be recession Rococo boo volatile cherche Mo Rocca car race in kaha um this is to enter into the this new covenant that we're talking about you're going to pass into the Covenant of a sham your God and through this oath okay so what is really bothering the clear car this week is the words rush a.m. shift taken because most people don't know there is an English translation which I have here which is different is even though this is art scroll it's different than the Tanakh that I have hmm because this Tanakh says the heads of your tribes this one says your heads , your tribes , on and on mm-hmm and if you look at it in Hebrew it certainly would imply your heads , your tribes that's right it's a common the elders , and the officers or all of Israel and then again your children karma your women karma and your slaves I'm sorry and your convert which are amongst you and then the slaves alright so he's going to build the whole I'm gonna call it a philosophy it's Judaism 101 yep and this is one thing that splits our religion with the Christians in particular because of the way he's going to describe what it is about our leaders that how we are supposed to look at our leaders and how our leaders are supposed to behave so he immediately gives begins by quoting Rashi and I gave you on the source sheet one Rashi says I'll say in Hebrew half hush of kashrut code then he's telling us like we don't know that the most important people came first in the verse your heads your tribes the elders the officers and everyone else so Rashi is telling us first the most important ones and afterwards you see all of Israel but then he begins by showing us the grammatical issues involved with Rush a.m. show Trey chem shift 8 them so you have heads comma tribes he says don't read it like that that's not what it means it means the heads of your tribes because what else could it mean your heads your tribes I mean it sounds so simple yeah and we're gonna read the next three pages and spend the next hour discussing this point that it's not so simple mmm that it actually should have had right garage God created the language he knows how to speak Hebrew properly and you need to say if you were God speaking Hebrew properly was Roe shaken lish if take them that's how you would say the heads of your tribes are the heads to each tribe so you need to LOM it that's right the fact that there's no longer there and you have these two words once there's a whole story I can't be whole yeah what are we gonna say no it makes you realize that he wants you to identify them separately that there's a clarification or an importance to the difference between the heads and the tribes individually I think I think you're onto something but what he's gonna say his I'm gonna give it away I'm gonna give away what he's gonna try to say what he's gonna tell us is the heads meaning the leaders are your shavers what is the word shave it mean it means tribe but it also has another meaning shave it means your staff mmm-hmm because my tote is tribes also so a shave it has a more of a connotation of that which leads ahead I got good on our collide dictionary will look up shave it Shin Bet set shin bet here we go it could mean to beat her to strike to press the weaving rod to beat nice bot okay Chev it Chev it not like with a tough but a tete that's right difference s a scepter scepter a baton a stem a tribe a clan a division a family right a ser hush 15 10 tribes it also meets tribes but we know I'm gonna talk about a chef it maybe I'll give it away a little bit because one of the last should be the one of the last where do we have it no gray sheets maybe I'm pretty sure I've brought it down and look on the third on the third page number 13 mmm-hmm receptor the scepter shall not depart from Judah nor the student of the law from between his feet until Shiloh comes no your sore shave it to me you who da it means a staff a scepter mm-hmm correct you know you're familiar with that term shave it yeah in that context yeah okay I think everyone is right that's a very one of the most famous verses so now we're talking about the idea that your heads are your shave it your heads are going to be your scepter okay no but now we're going to build upon that idea okay so that's how he wants us to understand it and that's how everyone does understand that the translates are properly do not translate it as your heads , your tribes but it's the heads of your tribes there should be allotted and the fact that there's no lobbied teaches us something that your heads are your rod what does the rod gonna do it's gonna correct you you're on a horse you take a rod you need to go left you need to go right and you go faster you want to go up I don't know you're gonna use the rod so he tells us right away it's not for naught if there's a reason the llama is not there and also what else bothers him I mentioned already that why does Moses delineate and and and very much specify the names of these order being the most important first all the way down to the end here even that scripture that referring to the messianic age says Messiah will rule the nations with a rod of iron Chevette direction as you're teaching Torah here also I said Hashem does that Hashem does that right so it says this idea this is the correct idea this is the correct way to think about it what God wanted to do right now was to make this new covenant I'm using the word new but we understand it's a renewal of the Covenant his words are Brit hadashah and it's to replace now the word hot could mean to replace were Commun to be like put underneath in other words it's a layer okay but when we understand what we're talking about this new covenant it's gonna blow our minds we're gonna Wow that's what they're talking about that's the new covenant watch this what happened was when we involved ourselves in the sin of the golden calf we ruined the original covenant there was a ruination there was a spoiling of that covenant now what was not yet enacted and this is what we mean by the new covenant was there's a concept called a reboot when all Israel became our ravine Zeb Adso when all the Jews became responsible for each other and when do we say that took place that took place later on at the Mount grism and Mount evil but what where are we standing now today what was last week's parsha the curses and the hosts the whole orchestration the whole scenario of what is supposed to take place on this mountain so we're standing in between meaning we're standing at a time period where this is Moses his last day on the earth Moses about to pass on Santorini and he wants to bring us into this covenant of responsibility he wants to let it sink in we talked about this before because if I told you that if you enter this response if you enter this covenant you're responsible for everyone else's sin meaning you as a Jew carry the sin of your neighbor yep big responsibility if you knew that yeah if you knew that you wouldn't enter it I mean you need to really sink in and and and it's gonna be a while before we actually enter that covenant but this is the the introduction let's say the God wants us to you the next-door portion my left which is the shortest tour portion and all the Torah starts off with Moshe a say and today I am 120 years old and we know through our sages that Moshe was born on the seventh of Adar correct so we assume that he's speaking on the seventh of Adar and of course a Darby in the twelfth month and the children of Israel impacted at the first of or would it be the 14th of Nisan that they enter into the land crossed the Jordan no the first thing the first so this code is it's only three weeks actually they're sorry the 10th they came in on the 10th of Mesa yeah the same same day yeah this is this is how you this is how you think about it there's a 30-day mourning period and it actually says they waited three days so you have a total 33 days so from the seventh until the 10th of the next month they waited three days there was a 30-day mourning period thank you ten easy way to remember it yep that clarifies it besides that it actually says so Joshua yeah but it's good when you have all these other what's the word the this something to rely on to remember you know and it all makes sense it all fits together like a puzzle so what were you saying I'm sorry think I cut you up I forgot so we were saying that this was entering the this new covenant in order to fix that which had been broken by the sender golden calf God wanted us to become responsible for each other now before that would happen meaning while we were still not responsible for each other then everybody would do what they felt was right in their own eyes and they didn't have to answer to anybody you know if I wasn't responsible for you and you're not responsible for me so whatever you do there's why should I care why should I do all these matter but person matters all deeds of every person yes unbelievable so God so Moses saw for this moment it's his last day on the on the planet he's where he wants to bring them into this concept of its I'm having a hard time saying the right words are saying Hebrew I can roll out beyond the masseur to breathe shell harvest are you there shoo I hardly see her Ava God Moses wanted to bring them into this Accord the transmission of the covenant of responsibility through the oaths they're going to be taken on these mountains mount greasy lamar navel because what greater reason there would be than this to help people stay away from sin again if everyone did was right was right in their own eyes and they weren't responsible to anybody else so then you can't there's no reason to rebuke anybody you don't even open your mouth but if we're all responsible there's a moment where you realize what he's doing affects me and therefore I have to open my mouth give you an example let's say you did you ever sign a loan for somebody in a bank or yep in Judaism we have what we call a free loan Society you can get a interest-free loan okay usually their their short-term loans but you can tend to say you take ten thousand dollar loan for a month at the end of the month you pay back exactly ten thousand dollars not a penny more it's a sin to sin to give the person a gift even okay so what if somebody took a loan out but you know they take its signatures they get the guarantor is that if the person doesn't pay back yeah so you sign that if he doesn't pay it back you're responsible and he was called our vote it's a guarantor you're signing and then there's even higher levels of cobbler north of mamas full acceptance of the loan meaning that the person who led the money doesn't even have to come to the borrower on the 30th day of the loan he'd go straight to you Wow because you feel responsibility but anyway that's about responsibility so let's say you'd salt you you saw the guy you signed for he's getting on a bus to go to Las Vegas we're gonna say that whoa oh where you going yeah I mean I know what's gonna happen I you know I I don't know what's gonna happen but I have a good feeling that's gonna happen is you're gonna come back and I'm gonna have to pay that loan back I mean it's not a responsible thing you're doing what makes you think you can go ahead and take my money and go to Las Vegas and just work let's say starts buying things you can see what it wasn't well thought out yeah looking beyond this means or just right it he bought some really cheap things gonna break and needs to be bought again again you can give them advice basically it's your money I mean to a certain extent it's your name it's your signature so you feel a responsibility to tell this person to get his act together and spend his money more wisely mm-hmm it's the exact same thing when you see another Jew not keeping the Covenant mmm beautiful it's a fact you you yeah I'm gonna have him so but this is one of the main points that the our vote this responsibility is the greatest reason to give rebuke to the people who are and try to get them to remove to be away from sin why I'm gonna read these four words pen yeah yeah knit pass a lot less the sin sees you meaning less you carry the sin hmm yes we are carrying each other's sins so why what's calm compounded interest why should we be why should we be allowing me this sin just to pile up we want to clean ourselves when it cleanse ourselves what I see you do affects me so I have responsibility as a leader I am the chef it okay we're gonna get into I'm gonna see how it really fits in nicely we're just laying the groundwork here beautiful principle do we know it very important so we know that it in terms of a loan your biggest fear is that you're gonna end up paying on it on his account so at the time that Israel is responsible one for another so then anybody who has it within his ability to rebuke he sees an individual or the masses I'm gonna I love this terminology says no team Madera haseko who are removing removing themselves from the true spiritual path mm-hmm literally it means turning themselves from the way of intellect or spirit say so in Mohali in terms means spiritual intellect it's a spiritual intellect so you see them again foolish when you throw that person doing that thing with alone the guy took the loan acting foolishly so that's like concrete but you know they mean like you see that he's doing it foolishly and he's gonna lose the money and not pay it back so what about the spirit when you see somebody breaking God's law mm-hmm he's desecrating Shabbos in in public he's stealing he's boasting about I don't know how he took advantage of a customer I mean how can you not step forward and say something so what's the rebuke the rebuke is not because you're trying to put him in his place that's right right and if you're trying everything in its place it's because this is so damaging to the universe to him and to you yes this equality within the house of Israel when you're taking care of one another in this way and it also lends more on standing as to why we as rabbis do not quickly convert somebody into Judaism because there's a huge responsibility that comes with it for the whole nation in living that sinless life for sure for sure so what you your ultimate goal when you give rebuke is to return them and Mohnish them to do good that's so you have to think what's effective how effective can I be what if I'm not gonna be effective at all should I keep my mouth shut no yes no what is it figure it out what is the most effective way it could end up being a friend of his who he'll listen to a family member that he'll listen to wisdom do you have to be very careful how you tell over to the other person because you don't want to speak loshon Hara but this is gonna be for toe Ellis gonna be for his benefit so hopefully that if you know that person will be more effective you may not be effective at all in fact he might come to say who are you to tell me you got your own problems you're not perfect but someone he knows loves him and someone he knows cares about him hopefully you will be able to do it in a loving and kind way but it doesn't always work that way so what happens if you hide your eyes from this in other words your you see people sinning and you decide to ignore it you're just gonna hide your eyes right I mean in your head ignore it that's my society it's becoming today unfortunately so what happens is you you know we deposit the verse says about rebuke it says if you don't rebuke him you carry the sin so we understand here that basically you become the sinner yourself you buy you hiding your eyes you're in his place you're putting yourself in his place and you're carrying the sin and this cuz the sins of the generation or the sins of the the city of the sins of the people sinning are dependent on you they're hanging on you you're carrying the sin and you're responsible and I keep saying you I'm just saying in general and then that person the leaders will end up being guilty and ultimately punished we're gonna see soon can you marry who wants to be a Jewish leader but again if someone did not have the ability to rebuke so there's no real logical reason why why that that he should end up carrying that sin or being punished for that sin so that being the case we understand the only thing that kills is sin if there are people who lived and never sinned and never died Jesse the King David's grandfather we you know Susheela right no no no B so it's sin that kills so if I'm like a perfect guy I'm not but if I was if I was or if I have a better chance on my own than being involved in a group would nice because I'm I'm like lowering myself let's say I got like a 99% chance on my own when I join up and there's like you know I don't know whatever 10% 20% 30% who do severe criminal acts you know I say criminal acts against Hashem sins my 99 percent goes down to you know who knows maybe 85 percent I don't know mmm-hmm so I have a better chance of living forever than joining up with everyone else but this is the covenant that God is offering us and wants us to enter into yeah there's a blessed building sacrificing yourself in a sense for the good of others like there's a reason why leaders lead even when people the population is imperfect and yet you do see the principal of us as leaders needing to pull away from that so that we're not influenced by the sins of the people just like Honoka hold did seven generations from Adam and we're told that he would retreat more and more away from the people but he would still come down and teach and instruct but the older he got the more often he was just communing with Hashem with prayer and meditation and so there's this balance like all things in Kabbalah a perfect balance is to know how much to impart and to expose yourself and to serve the people but you're taking on a certain amount of that environment when you're with them and so you have to pull away also and there's that balance for sure okay so if we knew this I don't think any of us would really enter this covenant because you know sometimes we find that these righteous leaders of ours they they cease they actually when I say see is in it to pass becomes attached to them the sin of the generation but not only the revealed sins but even the private sins in other words the really righteous amongst us end up suffering because of the sins that are even done in private yes we already kind of differentiate between the idea of being able to rebuke and not able to rebuke so you would say logic says okay if you're able to rebuke great I understand you didn't rebuke so you're carrying this in but if someone's doing is sin in private how do you have a chance to rebuke and yet our leaders the phonemes should good doli some of the the greatest leaders end up seizing this even the sin of the generation that did the sins in private and I'm going to give you some examples okay we're gonna deal mainly with asan you're familiar with Archon and Joshua [Music] so if you look on the source sheet number two it says this is about going into taking conquering this is conquering not Jericho joy right here let's open up to Joshua six so they're going to visit I and I mean to conquer I so beforehand in Chapter six we're dealing with Jericho so Jericho we were told not to take any of the spoils we have to burn everything or take it and they should take give it to the Treasury of the Lord so it says and only you keep yourselves from the devoted thing lest you make yourselves condemned when you take of the devoted thing and make the and end up what's the result if you do you make the camp of Israel a ruin in trouble it can you imagine if you took the things that we're supposed to be dedicated to the Treasury of the Lord you're stealing it you're trespassing on God's law you're taking the spoils of the war and look at the Hebrew the somtam s mock Aeneas Ratliff harem you're bringing Israel to a bad place there are at a moto and and troubling it rob Rashi says what does it mean troubling it's like maíam a ruling like disgusting waters okay you're bringing trouble to Israel because of a sin and guess what happened and you look in I think it's just said look at number seven that I did bring it down you know this is fascinating I want to keep clear of everything reserved for destruction because you bring a curse on yourself by taking anything set aside to be destroyed and Wow think of all the different levels of that in our life and in society and in this world and make the camp of Israel a ruin to trouble it when one person sins that's what happens to Israel and look at what look at verse I didn't I didn't I I skipped chapter 7 verse 1 it was very important that I brought it down so anybody's listening this is the most important part we're in chapter 7 of Joshua the Hebrew says mmm-hmm but the people of Israel misappropriated some of the goods set aside wait oh you're right the children is your trespassed I'm looking in the Hebrew and for some reason it's not well okay you're my lumina you surround me I'll so Israel okay so I think I did bring it down I'm just trying to see where I brought it oh okay one second it's not oh oh it's number 11 I don't know it's not here at all one seconds I'll tell you where it is I'm just getting way ahead of myself so it does say that Israel sin okay now since the look in Chapter 7 verse 1 the children of Israel trespass but I want to tell you something the children of Israel didn't trespass you suppose say what yeah what one person sin if you look if you see what happened we were and we ended up being defeated we had X amount of 36 people died and Joshua was like what happened here and if you look in chapter the same chapter in 16 so we wanted to know who who who sinned want to try to figure out look in verse 13 right there's a transgressor in your myths one transgress and 1617 they did this lottery to figure out who was and in nineteen we figured out who was look in verse 18 after all that's done we figured I was a con he was singled out one person thin mm-hmm you understand this is the story and he even says I sin look in verse 20 I con confesses indeed I have sinned so we're talking about all of Israel lost a war or a battle I should say we didn't lose the war we lost a battle see 36 of our troops died we were defeated in this battle we had to go back and do it all over again but one person took the spoils of war and it says it said all of Israel sin right we see the children of Israel sin they trespassed I want you to get that this is like so important one person sins collectively we're all responsible and think about it this was before the oath that took place at Mount Gerizim and our bail but it's after our parsha because our Marsh is getting us ready introducing the whole concept of our boots of responsibility collective responsibility and I know that I am a little bit misc embargo lated a little bit because I can't believe I didn't put that important verse but if you get the whole idea of Joshua down pretty Pat now the next point I wanted to point out was that again this was all before the placement of this full responsibility on the mountain and basically arrhenius jellyfishes Coggins air i'll low heat Iwamura armed all her cloud this was still yet prior to the full impact of this new covenant that took place at the mountain Lima and I am miss serene and they covered their eyes from the rebellious Ness in other words it was going on remember he stole the spoils of war he took it for himself he had family he had people living in the house nobody saw what he did mmm-hmm it wasn't like public knowledge because that's why they did the lottery to figure out it was a miracle right we knew it was one person and Joshua knew who was but he wanted to get him to confess okay so this whole scenario was to get this guy to confess and but there were other people that knew as well that's also a sin they knew because his own household knew that he stole oh come dad comes home with you know a new car and then whatever you know like where did he get that car he's like you know if you tell him you know my Uncle Joe uncle Vinny gave it to me you know but anyway so they all knew that the guy was the part of the mafia you know so over here the whole family ibaka knew so if in Jeremiah chapter 2 verse 8 it's another proof when our leaders don't rebuke if our leaders don't rebuke now I want to preface this the idea you cannot rebuke unless you're perfect yourself and I say perfect I mean you're perfect I mean you got to work on yourself first before you work on other people yeah so you know it could take many years till you get to this point of I'm going to go near perfection so in German in Jeremiah chapter 2 verse 8 says this is God rebuke uses Jeremiah rebuking the leaders the priests did not say where's the Lord and those who hold on to the Torah did not know mean the rulers rebelled against me and the prophets prophesized by bow and this is the most important part of the really sums it up and followed you know the people followed what does not avail meaning the people were following leaders or shepherds who were not helping them they weren't helpful to them what it's a perfect example of a leader who's not helpful mm-hmm a leader who doesn't have the shave it that's in his hand he's not steering steering the people in the right directions they're hiding their eyes from all the mistakes and allowing them to compound upon themselves yes so true what a good message when we feel the weight of responsibility as leaders in that area and you do it totally without judgment you know there's this unconditional love for your pupils and for your people and yet you have to establish the principles by which they are to live otherwise everyone will be taking his own course and and everybody reaps that collective cause and effect of their errors right so what's the next mistake that the leaders are gonna make the leaders are gonna make a mistake by saying they're not gonna listen anyway they're not gonna listen to me that was anybody and therefore I made my responsibility it's true and so many times the leaders get up there and try so there's one of very important things that we learned about the gadot liam of israel the leaders of israel is they never make gazelle rota to connote and kind of decrees and rules and restrictions on the people that they know won't handle it yeah this is throughout the Talmud we discussed the you know implication of laws that come into effect by rabbinic enactment because the Torah tells us to guard to set up guards for the people that they will never make a guard that the people cannot keep too hard we're not logical whatever okay so basically the biggest problem is that these leaders will say it's not going to help anyway so so before you have this great reason every sinner basically gave himself his own blessing and so whatever I'm doing is right but once you put this responsibility on them changes things now sometimes people would sin in public and sometimes in private I'm sorry skip something okay so basically what we said was that each person who is sinning would justify to himself he's doing even a mitzvah oh I'm doing such a good act by I don't know saving money by not paying the IRS or whatever it is so he basically gave himself a green light to sin and then it's like I said it just compounds on itself and again sometimes it's done in private and sometimes it's done in public but if the leaders are consistently rebuking or trying to give over we call Mooser ethical teachings on a constant basis so then you know and and and actually confronting the evil people so then most of the people would be afraid to sin even in private it's just the natural result of good leadership good leaders will end up instilling a certain healthy fear of God and people would be afraid to even sin in public in private less than matter become known in other words it's true that most people are afraid to sit in public but in private who knows if they realize everyone's trying to grow together and we're all responsible the idea that it could become known and today gosh with who knows hidden cameras and you know tap phones and all recordings on phones we just walk down the street people record you saying that they believe in Hashem but do people really behind closed doors believe that he's watching every moment they're acting as if he's not there as if they're so it's really reflective of their belief of their Emunah you know it's almost prophetic with them I'm saying and what about to say the idea that maybe you know centuries thousands of years ago the rabbi's talked about when you go to heaven the judgment that takes place is not even a confrontation of like you know the judge saying you did this you did that do that it's a replay yeah of your life you get to see it while Hashem is watching your reactions and you have to have a certain amount of shame I did I did that I did that he's not even telling you you're seeing it all yes like it's a year everything was everything was recorded and you're watching it yourself yeah and today we have I mean you have you you have you know Facebook live you got everything you got closed-circuit televisions they had you know during the the latest hurricane they had people's robbing stores they got their all a camera like in the middle of a hurricane the cameras are still working in rolling I don't know what they were thinking but you know they got satellites in the sky that can read a document like this from I don't know 50 60 70 thousand feet in the air yeah okay this is like it brings what the rabbi's told us thousands of years ago that it's like it's so true it's like it's real in front of our eyes it's not that hard for us to imagine it happening than in in our in our day of judgment yeah that our whole life will be placed in front of us for ourselves to judge ourselves and through the shame so basically what ends up happening is that the leaders are on the front lines of this judgement okay so all the sins that come about for all the people are end up being placed on and the guilt is placed on the leaders they're actually the cause for all the sins of the people now in Isaac is Ezekiel chapter 9 verse 6 that's on the second know it's um it's it's on the first sheet number five yeah go ahead oh yeah I'm just gonna say it's at the bottom of the page old man young man had made and young children a woman you shall utterly you shall slay utterly and this part of like a very bad curse for the Jews in the Exile but to any man upon whom there is the mark you shall not draw on the air you shall commence from my sanctuary so they commenced from the old men who were before the house so this is like utter destruction that's coming upon Israel and where is it starting it says you shall commence from my sanctuary now does it really mean commenced from my sanctuary look at look at the Hebrew we meet the she mm-hmm me meet gosh she means from my sanctuary talk Helu that's where they should begin but that's because there's vowels so as I'll tell us in the Gomorrah Shabbos that God wants us to understand this word makuu - I from my Holy Ones where does the other other destruction begin my sanctified ones says judgment begins in the house of the Lord and that begins not just in the house like the physical established building but it's talking about the leaders because that's where they're at is in the mikdash and they're the core issue so we so we hear so many different madras shame and stories to tell us that the leaders are the righteous ones are judged on the first day of Rosh Hashanah the intermediate be called the bay no-name are going to be judged on the intermediate intermediate days and then everyone is gonna be judged on yom kippur some say it's the righteous and the evil are already judged on the first day then the Boehner name the intermediate on the intermediate days and then everyone's judged on Yom Kippur there's different ways to look at it but he's gonna is going to describe these magician a little bit for us because the fact that the leaders are so responsible they're the ones we're going to be judged on the first days of brush Hashanah and I just have to find my place where we get bit so II so so we just got done saying when this utter destruction happened it's going to start with my holy ones my sanctified ones now if we go to a verse in Exodus 22 verse 5 so that would be already on the second sheet so this is dealing with oh hi Jeff I quoted Rashi here on the Ezekiel but we don't have to go through that that for Exodus 22 verse 5 so this has to do with responsibilities against damaging other's property meaning you you take your camel through the thoroughfare in the public area and you knock things over that could happen right your pool or your today you're in your car and you're exceeding the speed limit or you go through a red light or a traffic sign and you do damage we all know you're responsible right there are laws about damages yes so what if what about fire back then I mean even today you know there's only collect risk electrical fires as hazards you have to make sure that you're up to standard as we say so if a fire goes forth and fine storms now I highlighted this in red for a reason and a stack of grain or standing grain where the field be consumed so what happens is the person's irresponsible with his fire and it goes out the fire would love to consume the thorns but what is it fine first it finds the grains first it doesn't say the thorns are consumed it finds scorns but what does it consume it consumes the good stuff so no not along with that's not the verse says if a fire goes forth and fine storms and a stack will have to sit in Hebrew because his cute eights aah-ooh matzah coats in it finds thorns but the the next verb the neck alga dish but it destroys the grain so one farmer is burning his thorns in his field probably after he's harvested but if it goes out - no no no we're not talking about a farmer we're talking that someone in their house has a candle let's just say anytime image okay let's let's try to go back it's just on them at this scenario however the scenario works could be like you said the farmer is trying to burn historians but what happens is it get a get the fire gets out of control and it ends up consuming good stuff so so what God wants us to know here is that it's gonna line with when the utter destruction needs to happen and why is it need to happen because of the evil people but who comes first who ends up being consumed burnt first the righteous that's what he's trying to say so let me go back let me go back to the Rashi that Rashi says source number six on Ezekiel right it says you commence from my sanctuary we already said it does don't read as sanctuary but for my sanctified ones were those who sanctified from those sanctified to me they're the ones marked with the sign whom he had warned not to her now hearing aids and commanded the Angels to destroy even then because the divine standard of justice contended before him why are those different from those is it not that they did not protest in other words if they didn't protest they're just as guilty this brings back the idea that the the the righteous are carrying the sins of the masses hmm everything all lines up it's all consistent the message is consistent all the way through a shet the the evil is coming to the world because of the evil acts the evil people but who is being consumed first who's being affected first the good grains the good people the righteous ones the leaders because they had a big responsibility it's all their fault mm-hmm the sins of the people are the fault of the leaders I'm is a really hard pill to swallow yeah I'll tell you something else I learned in Kabbalah I know this definitely goes against the Christian teachings so you could take it or leave it we've talked about a person who's righteous that takes on the sins of others we're not talking about the completely righteous we're talking about the not completely righteous see if someone has completely righteous he won't experience any pains due to the sins of others mm-hmm it's only those who have sinned themselves are able to absorb the sin of others it's only someone who's imperfect can attach themselves to the imperfection of others someone who's a perfect specimen of a human being will not die will not suffer on the account of mother's sins very interesting he has perfected himself he obviously gave rebuke in all the areas he was supposed to and he will not hold on or cease or absorb anybody sick and blind this good righteous leader if he's perfect no it's not he is not judged for the sins of people like the other leaders though are imperfect right you're saying right yeah very interesting clarification and that and that's why those whose claim that the JC man took on the sin of others how can they say that if they claim that he was perfect he was perfect he's not demand to die for anybody's sins it just doesn't work out Kabbalistic Li Jewish Lila just logically it's just and that's why they will separate the sin inherited you know from the sin that is done and they try to separate the two and they said he was in the likeness of sinful flesh and yet he did not sin he who knew no sin became sin for us you hear these different differentiations and now it gives us more understanding as to why they might be clarifying that to show that there is an aspect of imperfection and so he could be judged for the people as a leader but that's not God my God's perfect yeah anyway all right so let's go on and what happens is this that the karate owes the punishment that needs to come to the world is coming only because of the evil people but it always begins with the righteous and the reason is like this because in the righteous hands it's in their ability we say in their hands to be a dumb in Hebrew it's in their hands means in their ability it's in their hands this shave it this raw this scepter of authority to bring back the masses from sinning and what happened was they they let the ball go you know you're in a football game you're playing football and you let the blog go it's a disaster right everyone you know so that that's like that's that you don't want happening so what happens they drop the ball they weaken their hands rather than strengthening their hands and as a result they weaken the Torah and they have weak knees in faith how can a leader how can you call yourself a leader you're weak you know a leader has to stay strong with that staff and confidence so his whole job is too bright to bring the people away from sin so azad this is where we get to this Gomorrah Rosh Hashanah that says that on the first day of Rosh Hashanah the king the king is judged first who's the king the king of the people the most responsible of the Jews are judged first because who else is able to who sensitive to place any type of fear of God upon creation other than the king kings or the leaders because it's beyond oh it's in his hand or his ability this rod okay so that's a physical rod physical staff well mosaic is we're going to get into that verse we talked about earlier in Genesis as well as the rule of law to place the enforcers you know we said in the verse shall trim officers it's not enough you need to like what's the word it needs to go down filter down to the people like these people wouldn't have been looting those stores if they knew the police were there and when the police are gone it's it's protected so the job of the government is always protect the people right go give them guns let the people you know have their own civilian protection I think but what happens is I don't know if it really happened but I know that there were stories of that happening that before these looting before these hurricanes come for these natural disasters come if it's warned about sometimes the authorities come in and confiscate guns but that doesn't make any sense because the police already tell you you know we're gonna be overwhelmed we're not coming to the area we can't risk our own lives you're on your own yeah you know so if you're on your own why would they in their right minds take away the only the only great wonder the main means of protection anyway let's not go there but we know that it's a problem right so this is the job of the government the job of the king the job of the leaders in the authority is to not just have the ability with the rod and the ruled wall but also to enact it through enforce it through the police and again now we go back again because an Arab Rosh Hashanah the night of Rosh Hashanah the greatest of us are then go out to be judged first and afterwards during the intermediate the ten intermediate days which by the way we call the in the intermediate days the ten but it's not well it is you got two days of Russia Shana and you have Yom Kippur included so it's really seven but if you want to make it a package deal it's ten okay so the intermediate there's only seven but there's ten days of Tuva includes Russia Shana and young people are it just depends how we use it to be technically correct and then afterwards all the rest of the Jews come out on all the Jews come out on Yom Kippur to be judged again back to what Rashi said originally because all the important ones came first before the others they are always going to be judged first as is the pecking order to judgment the more responsible judged first and then the less responsible to the Ewers of wood and the drawers of water are going to be judged last and the reason this is the the pill can you need to swallow is because he's the first to be given judgment because the guilt of the people are hanging on their heads the guilt of the people are hanging on the leaders heads okay now we understand why Moses organized the structure or more importantly this whole concept of entering into this Brit hadashah entering into this new covenant in this way from the acts fact that we're entering into Garant worship at a word guarantee she will call collective responsibility cuz then the the greatest among us were oh they're always going to be judged first more than those who were inferior to them or underneath them and we start with the heads so now we said the heads , the tribes or the heads of the tribes because the heads come before the elders you notice the positioning of the verse its first the heads of the tribes and then the elders now who's more respectful the heads of the tribes they're supposed to be righteous don't get me wrong but they're probably younger they're probably wealthy they may not be as knowledgeable and taller they might not be as righteous as the zucchinis canyon where the elders the ones who have years experience know how so there's a different type of leadership so the ones with the staff are going to be more responsible than the elders why because the elders use their lips the elders speak the elders it's different what's the difference so your mother says I really want you to do it it means a lot to me or she holds up her hand like this or it puts a shoe in her hand mother so they had to do then you have to say anything right they just took the shoe and you new ok so so we're now discussing the idea that the the leaders of the tribe were first before the elders in all places why because who you listen to right the one who has the stronger hand you're gonna listen to the one who has the good backhand you know so I mean he's really Rou he a rush him Koide me mellow zucchini become a come so the the leaders come before the elders in all places Kili alam yo tarnish my name l Mishima greasy malasiya because cos yacht because you're always gonna listen to Everest you know forcing you through a physical strength the shabath mu sir yar he can appeal to me ma shumou here buddy boy Levon that the staff that scepter is certainly going to get the message across and remove you much further from doing the wrong thing then someone who's rebuking you just your words alone and how do we know that look in Proverbs this is number eight on the source sheet proverbs 29 19 says 'but varam with words Loya vas their Evan with words a slave cannot be rebuked and not be chastised you okay you need to just pull that whip out you know and he's straight on the money you know a slave is not gonna listen to words now look in it's also in proverbs 26 3 we'll have it down there so obviously the smarter you are then we're spiritually sensitive you are the more the words will get you on the right path but the fool the one who's not spiritually sensitive consumed with so yes so he need what does he need he doesn't get words he needs he needs to rug am I making this up is this all make it said yep even though we already listen to go to another 1710 in Proverbs it says the humility caused by the rebuke of an understanding purpose person is more effective than a hundred blows to a fool so the more spiritually sensitive the more understanding you are did you have your coffee yet is it still dark out it's just starting to get light here now that verse 7 okay that's rush so now she's got the last line humility caused by a rebuke is recognizable in an understanding person more than 100 gloves it's pretty much what we saw unlike the rest of the scriptures therefore I say it's a noun like is it to pet or ha ha ha and its explanation is as follows the humility caused by a rebuke is recognizable in an understanding person more than 100 blows that they strike the fool yeah ok so go to number 13 that's on the next page the last page and it says we're dealing now with this idea let me just get to my place so even though as we just said like the understanding person and to get it and the fool that won't get it nevertheless when it comes to fools there you can't you can't deal with them just with words so - just like you sir ails constantly needs Israel constantly needs to Chev it and the mohawk means both you need the Jewish people need the leadership the shave interceptor and they need the leadership that comes through like the Sanhedrin that comes through the judges come to the rabbi's the mow cake the mole cake is the student of law right as we saw in the verse genesis 49:10 oh yes so that's what he's bringing down now it says lo yes or shave with me yuda shall not be removed to save the scepter from you de you understand the leadership needs the scepter shall not be removed the scepter that that harsh discipline is needed by the leaders of the Jewish people and the multik don't forget you need that - you need the kind soft spoken words of the elders right from between their legs so the word shave it the actual word shape it is now referring to what we call the exile arc in Babylon meaning after the destruction the temple we didn't have a king but we had a prince and that prints from you who deaths from you it's like like in place of you know we're in exile so wouldn't have a king but we have a prince so they were called the shaven they that's he had the authority they held the scepter right until Michelle comes they do the leadership role will not leave from you hooda so they're always had been a leader at least in the time of Babylon doing the egg I'm not talking about the the first eggs I'm talking about the ring after the destruction of the second temple let's go at least interpretation here that you have and it says nor the student of the law from between his feet and I don't see the Hebrew word for student there okay no it's mostly he there translating Moe cake so let me see what article says this is that was from Chabad let's see it's 4910 he's using we'll call poetic license you're right hey Moe Kate the real the real word is to engrave okay so we said 49 in other translations where it says after the scepter will not just ask from yahudah nor the ruler's staff but you're talking about him in graver like you would engrave the tour upon the heart of a student and that's where he's using poetic license yeah Indian arts wrote says a scholar so in other words what do you think it means what do you mean with know your sword shave it me yuda will not be lost will not be removed we're gonna call it now what does shave it mean the leadership role with the scepter from Yuda as well as the moqueca the scholarship the scholarship I like student of the law because Moe cake literally means law okay so you we're using not we're using thematic license I'm saying that that is a great translation that fits within what we call them us the masseur ah the tradition and the mosaic will not be removed from between his legs those there there's gonna be two what's the word yeah in America after you have the legislature and you have the executive right branches right I'm just sayin branches you have two branches of government you're gonna have the staff strong-arm type government this is a legislature and the root word is Hoch which he's making all the laws even those that are not understood but you need i'm not he doesn't make any laws maybe you're gonna call it interpret the law but he doesn't yeah cool ah there you go Hashem makes all the laws and he's the it's that the facilitator if you will right so yeah so I've never heard it translated a student before because it has more of a connotation as one who teaches the law or okay so our school translated a scholar Chabad transits a student of the law which is fine which is I don't have a real understanding of a student to a higher level because it's really somebody I wanna tell you they probably know I'm gonna tell you he got it all wrong okay and I mean I hate to tell you when we call someone the greatest rap eyes of art of any generation we call him what Tommy talk um have you ever heard those words used huh let's translate that so we called the greatest rabbi a Tommy become a student of a wise person no matter how great you are you have to be a student of somebody you have to continue to learn yeah that's beautiful you've heard this word tom me talk on yeah the greatest of our sages are called Tommy the ha ha Meem the students of the sages so the student of the law is not you know the word hope' means law or hoecake is the engraved law yeah so he's he's not what does that word mean according to what we're saying is the word Sabbath is that branch of government that follows the kingship mm-hmm mushiya I have a scepter be from Dovid the whole cake is the Sanhedrin is the legislative body okay so but we're dividing it up now he's saying that during the times of the exile in Babylon meaning after the Second Temple is destroyed where a majority Jews remained in Babylon so that's where we call the exile arc the race Colusa the head of the exile from yahuda ruled that's where he ruled and he ruled the people with a iron fist let's say and then the other motek they were the leaders in Jerusalem in even in Israel for the next five six hundred years until there was a total exile meaning after destruction in year 70 or 69 there was still several hundred years we prosperously prospered and you know we suffered greatly but there were there was a a Jewish presence in the land of Israel and they were that we also had Prince's leaders we had a leadership we still had the Sanhedrin furfrou a little bit longer several hundred years I think throughout the land they weren't in Jerusalem they already left so they were them okay so they taught Torah they taught Torah to the masses and this type of there were two types of authority one was mal hoot that's kingship and that was in Babylon you know in the first several centuries of the Common Era and there was another type of authority that was the same tension so one would be called the chabot and the other one is called Ruach Toth am the spirit of the lips so the Sanhedrin the lawmakers the rabbis had they weren't really the Cheviot the chef's it sat in Babylon back right but the the Sanhedrin which sat in Israel we call that the the the spirit of the lips because that's what it was they didn't really have any authority except to teach the Romans the Greeks you name it I mean they all came through here and thought they you know own the world so the sinner and the person who has bitter spirit who would he likely listen to more he would most likely listen to the whom who the one with the chef and then the one who spoke with his mouth was what's he going to say after rusev italia it's just words but the kid okay and I'm Mel codon the coulomb that's why the king is just stressing why we have a verse the King goes first because he's got my authority you know listen to the king the Sanhedrin is a lower level of authority because they people are not going to listen to just words yeah many people don't translate that properly where the scepter comes first and then that word for that legislative um okay II turn mo to sin he dreams but it's not just there it's also an arbors they're not again in here in the table even partial Deuteronomy 29 verse 9 the heads of your tribes then it says your elders mm-hmm why should the heads of the tribe Rashi needs to tell us the more important come first the heads of the tribes are really more important than the elders I don't think so they're probably young often budding politicians just happen to be rich there's no way that they're more righteous that's right remember the elders are self-made the heads of the tribes are probably the sons of the previous heads same of Kings the scepter and then the differentiation between the Sanhedrin very good clarification okay we really try to sum it up with his last paragraph truth is we can go on I have no idea but let's try to get this last piece because it's pretty important gonna pretty much sum it up he says therefore that's why it also says the idea that your heads are the first to receive the full brunt the full responsibility on account of the people in other words remember they're going to be judged first and the reason is ready this is what it all comes down to I know I said at the beginning but it means your heads are your shaven row shake him high new ship based on their heads that's what we've seen the verse says row shake em ship taken he said I had a lawmen the llama is missing because it's one you get across this idea your heads are your shaded are you're not tribes your heads are your sector they themselves came about awesome um shaver to know these for them they themselves are basically they make themselves out basically your today your task master master cast master the task master is the one that's you know whipping the people to do to do more work to do it right now I'm gonna take you to the last verse on our page on our that's not the last one and number fourteen Isaiah ten five God calls Assyria what does he call like Assyria I think you were alluding this to this before whoa that Assyria is the rod of my wrath my fury is a staff in their hands now we understand God Himself is talking in Hebrew I don't know I didn't bring a tell ya let me just open it up here it's Isaiah 10 fine he's even allowing tribulation or other nations to end up being a rod of Correction when they don't follow unbelievable of course the whole world accident for the Jewish people saying this was Isaiah 10 five Hebrew high Ashur whoa - a sure shave it Oppie shave it the word shave it it doesn't mean tribe it means rod the rod of my anger Omata right another word for a tribe interesting shaving the might they're the same bread Amaya is also tribe motto beard I am another type of a stick a rod the army of my anger my right BR dime is in my hands my anger my fury so yes you're right when a shamon wants to make sure that the jewish people get on the right path this is why one of the reasons why there's anti-semitism it's part of the Divine Plan it prevents intermarriage it sometimes gets the people to unify there's all just some good pieces it's a bad with really horrible reasons for an identity but those who are anti-semitic don't think they're doing God's will it happens to be that God wants it done but not by you uh-huh you know yeah you know Hitler your moksha no he said his memory should be destroyed he had free will at a certain point of time he didn't have to be the one but at some point God says yes I listed the curses this is what's gonna happen if the Jews don't listen to me they don't act in the right way their curses are there it's black and white we read them they they describe the Holocaust to a tee right if someone wants to have faith in Hashem they can just look at curses and look at the Holocaust and says I'm a believer mm-hmm I know the Torah string it's horrible to say but that's a fact so look at the way that the anger the fury Hashem took out on us through these lowlife German Nazis but a surer Assyria is called a shave it it's called the rod that's right so to the leaders are called the rod the leaders are the rod meaning they themselves are the rod in their hands they have the ability more than any more than the oil more than the elders more than the same edger therefore they come first when it comes to the responsibility and only afterwards the more you know they're also righteous but they don't have the authority you have what they call coal yes railay the people with straight heart the elders of Israel who are the motek the lawgivers who have the spirit on their lips and they with their spear on their lips your move to Russia they can kill the evil people come here eh let's show him I ride him they also have the the who the rabbi's also have a ability to enforce the law but it's not the same not like dude leaders the leaders have more we'll call it authority or power then the elders and then at the end it says all of Israel and they come before the women and the children because also the women the children listen to the adult man and also the converts who come to this whole thing later in life they also need to listen to the elders and the older men so that's pretty much it I prepared a little bit more so my time and I'm getting a feedback from your computer I can hear the voice out oh not my computer I'm on my phone so is it but do we have this good transmission all the way through no I just heard it just now now it's gone but anyways there's two words in the Hebrew the Shabbat and then the Makah which we get the word mètode' both of them have a connotation of tribe one means the rod of Correction the other has a connotation of like the staff and it's very interesting we could say that Israel is not only meant to be a light to the nation's the Jewish people but they are to correct the nation's because in both connotations of the word for the tribes of Israel we have a rod of Correction and we have a staff of leadership and when you realize that this is our identity and our purpose all in one hidden within these double connotations of these words it's not just for ourselves but there's a huge responsibility to the world and yet there's also a huge responsibility to ourselves because if we don't correct the nation's if we don't be the light and the change that we want to see in this world the the judgment begins with us because we're like that very much I like that very much it's very true these different layers of Torah it's so deep and well I appreciate you know much good theme because we could meditate on this our whole lifetime and it really should be our meditation because it doesn't only mean that we are always teaching but the responsibility begins with us living out that righteousness in our individual lives and in the secret places like last week when I was teaching the Torah portion I brought out some of the secret sins that you know all those curses that were brought out each one of those you could look at in the theme of being a secret sin and people think that they're fooling people but they're not fooling anyone and the curses are brought upon the people because Hashem sees that you have not lived up to your calling and your purpose in leading the people in righteousness mm-hmm and what is a curse but a loss of blessing it's not an arbitrary punishment by Hashem he he doesn't have to do that all it is is we remove ourselves from the source of blessing all he wants to do is bless us and we end up cursing ourselves by removing ourselves severing ourselves from that source of blessing so it's a loss of blessing that's 10 verses sure sure very nice I like the way you summed it up Thanks I'd like to go I'd like to go over the next piece a little bit because it's pretty important this is uh verse 11 Leah varka the Warka the word I either like Hebrew - Passover is this person a sin - yeah it's chapter 29 and still in our Martian it's of you chapter 29 verse 11 for you to pass into the Covenant of God and into his imprecation this is the the oath that God is taking to seal with you today so it says this is in singular fashion you should know okay so it's talking to the individual it goes from talking to the whole into the whole parsha is in plural and all of a sudden it's talking in singular the are huh the RV huh the recession so what's mentioned throughout the whole parshas or plural except for this verse that mentions the crossing into this covenant is on an individual basis and this is clear-cut proof that the prime the prime covenant here is because of our roots collective responsibility every single individual counts every deed counts collectively because from the act from the aspect of this collective responsibility all the Jews become like one person it's called each Ahad mm-hmm interesting now when we have a Passover lamb that Passover lamb it's a sheep doesn't have to get to be a goat but the main comes as a sheep the Sheep the or the goat doesn't matter you're not allowed to break any bones it has to all be intact okay they cut open the stomach and take out the innards but you cannot have any broken bones and you cannot cut it into pieces it has to be roasted full do not let it break any bones when you're eating it so well why am i because we're gonna compare the Jewish people to a sheep okay so the first thing we understood that it's talking individually and yet it's talking to everybody because Israel is one person it's talking to one person meaning Israel Israel is that one person at the time that you have a hit Amaka a slab so it just happened to be that there was a slap in one particular limb but the whole like you just said the whole body feels it can become come sick so to the time that Israel is sinning everybody feels it one Jew sins we all feel it yeah and when we talked about a con in Joshua that one person sinned and we lost 36 paratroopers or what I really call them combat soldiers and we lost the war so if you look in Joshua Joshua chapter 7 verse 11 that's the verse I wanted to look at with you I think I do have it on that last shape not Joshua it's Joshua's Isaiah sorry yeah it's not Isaiah it's Joshua that's where I made my mistake okay so so we go back to Joshua it's chapter 7 verse 11 is that where it says Israel has sinned and they didn't also transgress my governor yeah we don't want you to read it in Hebrew it says Israel has sinned just hot August 4l think about it one person sinned we know that only one person send the whole storyline is about a lottery going from the whole nation down to a tribe down to a family unit down to a person and read it yeah one person sinned and it says Israel sinned mm-hmm very similar to quarrels rebellion you know you see him get it 250 people along with him in rebellion but how many ended up dying because of the cause-and-effect plague 14700 and so all of Israel pays until somebody a righteous leader stops the plague by bringing righteous judgment Wow great Prince once you get the principle in place you can see it across the board with every theme every story every situation now if you go to Jeremiah chapter 50 verse 17 you got it it says a scattered sheep is Israel yeah does that really make sense what does it mean looking at the scattered sheep because they were naughty shehad the way Hashem intended them to be whenever we engage sin sin divides and when sheep are packed together when they're truly at Cod the wolf cannot get any one of them but the world really through fear tries to scatter the sheep and that's when he can pick them off one by one Hashem desires to unify us and in that unity in him we are protected so there's a whole amazing depth of teaching just in this one verse in Jeremiah 50 verse 17 so the major's talks about this verse says set pizarra Israel the Jewish people are scattered sheep why is Israel compared to a sheep because what is it what's true about a sheep a sheep at the time that you hit one limb all of the the whole limb feels that the whole body feels it so to Israel when God Himself sins the whole Jewish people are called sinners mm-hmm so what does it seem it seems that shikou had daughters has a yolk semen Mila pizarra that we're really focusing on the word Kazu rock because oorah means scattered but it's talking about the sheep in other words when you have that that marker that hid the pain scatters through the entire body the sin scatters through the entire people it's the same theme running through the universal collective responsibility we're all response scattered the you know no blankets I don't you throw a blanket but it's like just scattering it out you know when you dispersed a house its person that's a good idea good word yeah that our boot is a powerful word that collective understanding and responsibility that we have with one another that is powerful as somebody may be willing to bring sin into their own life and reap the consequences but they would think twice if they realize it's going to affect their children their community their nation now through the judge that's happening eventually finally on Yom Kippur where everybody's going to be judged together so then we become one good ah hot a good that means bound tightly bound as one it's the opposite of being scattered and I don't Sukkot we take the four different species which represents who are different types of Jews and we're binding them together we're celebrating the whole seven days with our lulav and our s robe and our willow and the hadass 'i'm the myrtle and it's called binding them and good aha it's all it's part of the rectification for being scattered data Khalil astray ssin yes and when you feel that unity of being tightly bound together everyone is gonna look out for the welfare of each other and he's not going to say to himself oh whatever happens to him who cares cuz what happens to him happens to you and it brings it all home you know you really care about the blessings of you know blessing other people so now we're in San White says Largo Club a British mu you're you singular are passing into this bris into this covenant it's singular and it's through this covenant there's no question that you'll eventually come to this concept of a good a cos of being one and that's what this whole covenant of our roots this Brit hadashah this new covenant renewal canoe or the renew of the Covenant is to bring about this this this unity and understanding how really responsible we are for each other so I'll just end off by just giving guys a blessing and anybody listening to this that we should hopefully reach this point our own lies it's understanding how responsible we are what we do matters to others whether they're aware of it or not the Eco sure keep Shabbat we dress modestly we act modestly who are humbly before a sham and we give sadaqa whatever we do we act kindly towards people will have an effect it will trust me a man on meat and on you and hopefully then we come to the end of Yom Kippur and we start with so coats and we take sward looks like a scepter but it's like a swore it's like we're showing we were victorious in unifying taking the four different species that represents the four different types of Jews on different levels you know the etrog has a good taste and a good smell maybe a lot well the truth is we're not but we have to aspire gather and allow not allow but appreciate even the negatives in others and all come together you have people that are learn Torah and do Mitzvahed that's what the etrog represents because it has both a good taste and a good smell the lulav comes from a date tree a date palm so the date has good taste but it's a very smelly as odorless it has no real roman to it so you have the people who just do tourist Torah eating as when this was the smell and then you have the huzzah scene which has just a smell and no taste so people just do mitzvahs and no Torah and the less the the willow has neither taste nor smell but we want to incorporate old we are a good occas we are a warrior nation so we have to be all inclusive it's just a fact that there there of course we're there to uplift each other through this coming together or god forbid the opposite so hopefully it will work out where we can be an influence number one on ourselves good influence on our families and on our neighbors world and other and then the world and circuses mothers want that one holiday where the the prophets explained that the Gentiles will come up as well and those who don't may not see rain and but it made me too much in one place or not enough as we just recently saw in both Harvey and Irma and who knows what's coming next but so what do you have to say shana tova may your name be inscribed for a good year I may also to you thank you so much for these good principles these deep lessons that take us to higher levels we want to resonate at the resonant frequency of Hashem and it's only through the study of Torah and doing mitzvot that we can raise our vibrational frequency back to that selfless loving state where we are a living Torah ourselves and that is our goal to be like the ED Trump to be fragrant in his nostrils and to be delicious to his taste this is our prayer and I thank you for facilitating the learning for everyone that you're doing with you Bonet and we've been praying for your campaign and we hope that it continues to be funded in a mighty way for your good work because I know your heart and it's only to serve passions people there's nothing selfish in what you're doing and so I thank you my brother for all that you're stepping out in faith to do and Hashem will bring all of the resources necessary sometimes these little times where all of us have experienced a seemingly lack or difficult times like we have such a big vision and there's such a lack of resources but I think those times are for our testing are we going to continue despite what our eyes see and our ears hear and very nice thank you I want to encourage you I'll make thank you for your blessings I take them to heart I know you mean it and botrytis them and the yes all tests so test all right we learn about your law Shalom much love the Lessing's to your family and we'll
