Oh
[Music]
I'm into play okay uh-huh yeah when I
became a nation in 48 I am 44 I just
turned 40 4 on aah
see it was what he was at Monday I was
born on the 7th of awful thank God not
the ninth of all and like a bug it's not
heads like oh yeah I see that the
temples were providing that there you
have some complexes you'd have to deal
with to your life yeah yeah we should
celebrated my free pork and you not good
luck 17 good morning Heather interns
good to see you guys morning guys good
morning everybody good morning good
afternoon good evening we're here it is
really whatever Wow so I sent you some
sheets we got it okay cool
it's a lot no I don't have any questions
from last week is a a lot to deal with
this week obviously we're not going to
get it all done but we'll start
somewhere
if you open up your commish to chapter 3
verse 23 this is actually my first Torah
portion I have come on okay so you're a
Leo yep YouTube alright that a good
family they an astronaut Elios watch up
hey you better watch out okay um we know
we can talk about anything deliver um do
you guys make blessings on learning
Torah at all yeah okay okay so listen
this is going to teach us the first
verse I have here and open up myself I
i forward it to myself on my iPad we're
going to learn about the secret of
Prayer some people are not like you know
did you say the words they don't really
understand prayer and I'm telling you
when I read this here's a couple years
ago who changed my life
now some people are already very
spiritually mature and really get it
understand it is it coming through is it
have the colors you have the vet cut on
the color some reason like those are not
colors with our own Hamas but I agree
with you that Sisseton on is a pleading
that Moshe does that becomes one of the
ten elements of the Jewish prayer life
and it doesn't answer your prayer
understanding his longing to enter the
lands and even more than continuing as
the leader of Israel his desires people
feel all it's both by being in the land
and there's some miss boat that we can
only observe by being in the land so I
think it's very appropriate for those of
us that are out of the land currently
the way we hunger to be back in the land
so that we can live out all of the shims
miss both whoa
we hit home and then of course it's got
the tinge every man in this past in this
core portion and the Shema and it just
loaded it's for big yeah so we're not
going to cover at all we're just going
to you know go as far as we can get I
actually made a copy with colors and it
didn't come out maybe they're still not
like we don't have colors either on the
first sheet okay so what I did was I
checked it all over that colors but it's
okay we'll build it yeah
so the problem is my thing is covering
the iPad this is really try it like that
okay we're recording yes okay cool so
the word in English it says Moses says I
implored Hashem at that time but Hebrew
that Kanaan L Hashem the HIV they were
saying so what did he say first of all
he himself says I Accord the word the
root of epsilon is Cain orhan on the cat
the moon with captain moon moon you see
it yep the first word so we're going to
define that word a little bit deeper
we're going to go into it but we're
going to play on Rashi I don't know if
you have Rashi in front of you but it
Rashi the way that the clear card this
week he rips apart Rashi and he rebuilds
it back
he really builds his words back in a way
that we will really truly understand
what God wants from us and I rolled this
world Raja said it ah harsh on Noah I
brought out to them that no office the
reverse of 10 which is Grace and when
your fleeting you're seeking God great
it seems great
and so here we see that that hidden in
this writ word for pleading we're going
to talk about that but if you have a
Rashi in front of you which I didn't I
didn't some copy for you but Rashi says
aim he noon the coma Camela Lashon might
not nom that the word haneun it means
imploring anytime you're going to find
this in the Torah in all places wherever
they
pure in Scripture it only means it means
nothing but granting or requesting a
free gift mm-hmm what is a free gift
free gift is unearned reward bonus can
you imagine I learned this lesson
earlier in life
can you imagine asking God to give you
what you deserve
I mean come on now this is Hilary with
that no but we don't realize that right
we don't realize oh I worked so hard I
did all this
no I deserve her I mean it somehow it
seeps into our prayers right but if we
think about it that's the last thing we
want so and so this is the word got it
now he's gonna go deep
I give this Rashi Rashi is telling us
that's what the word means now he makes
a really interesting statement he says I
thought pecially heaven tsadikim little
Ostrom I say McElveen even though the
righteous could make a request from God
dependent on their good deeds meaning
the way were you understanding Rashi now
is past these but don't we're not going
to conclude that we're going to actually
complete that it could mean future deeds
because philosophically as-sadiq
would never ever ask God to give him
what he deserves all right I did all
these good deeds you know bring it to
him I need this I need that a righteous
person will never do that but Rashi says
although righteous could make their
demands or requests dependent on their
good deeds meaning they would actually
be justified in requesting things as a
reward for what they deserve
nevertheless aim of action at the month
on Ellen on the subpoena but the way
that righteous people should seek from
Hashem should be as a free gift a gift
without payment and how do we know this
because Moses himself said I'm sorry
because God actually told those
and you can find this I'll tell you
where if you go
it is not diverse for three in exodus
33:19
God says I will show favor to whom I
will show favorite God already said it
what it says but I know si si share a
cone I will grant the grace to whomever
I will grant Facebook so we already know
now Moses uses that word con name right
that's a nine i it's based on this verse
if you look again at 33 19 the Hanafi
etosha home God says I will grant Grace
or free gift to whomever I want
period and that's why Moses actually
uses this word that cannot now now we're
going to go into the deeper I guess
because what's bothering the clear car
is that as I mentioned over two or three
times already a righteous person would
never brah she makes the assumption that
even though a righteous person might
it's a problematic but we have to say
look put our foot down a really truly
righteous person would never do that I'm
going to read the words of the clay cart
so we can get like an idea he just
quotes Rashi like I just did he says
even though that righteous people could
are justified by making their requests
on their good deeds nevertheless they
don't what they do is they ask for a
free give so he says philosophically
this is a problem because where would
you ever come upon your mind how would
it ever come upon your mind to make a
request dependent on pasties mm-hmm you
know in the morass and so tell 14 hey it
brings out the Moshe and hope that this
display of thoughts create myths and
mighty hand or
and that is strong in verse 24 men said
perhaps he might indeed be permitted to
enter the land as well so we prayed for
the right cross
they are Dini he's using some of these
own words to remind god I'm going
character huh
and uh okay we're going to get into the
character of God for sure
but the question really is can a man do
you think God owes you something
no in other words I did all these good
deeds so when I make my request from
Hashem I'm going to bargain with my past
this is like this is a philosophical
philosophical problem that the clea car
has with Rashi statement from Rashi
statement it sounds like even though a
righteous person could or might and is
better though sir
it doesn't make sense that a person a
writer would even do such a thing why
because God doesn't owe man anything and
all the misses that a man does right all
those remember the word mystery means
connecting point we're connecting with
God through our actions we're walking
the path when we connect and have an
intimate relationship with God we're
creating intimacy through the mistress
but there's no way we can ever pay back
God for all the great goodness that he's
bestowed upon us from the moment of our
birth and the time who were born till
whatever may be seventeen years old you
can be fifty to forty four or whatever
there's no possible way that in it
doesn't even make sense
that every moment the Shem is giving us
such goodness that we would even come to
think that we could pay back it would be
pay enough to pay back we can never pay
back all the goodness that ischenko
stowed upon us from the day of our birth
amazing right so where did Rashi come to
say that even though they could they
don't it doesn't make sense
just because of his great and because of
his great grace we could but we wouldn't
you wouldn't dare because we know we're
unworthy from inside but if you know the
greatness of God and you know that is
love his children but we spend a lot of
time in prayer you know whether it's an
Orthodox Jew simple hour-and-a-half
alone you know in prayer day besides all
the other pressure today so he things
approved you know the story of
[Music]
Kiske Alamelu King Hezekiah king
hezekiah he thought he had deed so he
can bargain with Hashem if you look in
2nd Kings chapter 20 verse 3 Hezekiah
he wants to save you shall I me once to
open the ruler please Hashem remember
now that I have walked before you
faithfully and wholeheartedly and I have
done good as good in your eyes he's
making a request and he's basing the
bargaining on his past deeds so King has
the Kaiser righteous guy but how does
God respond to him look three verses
later chapter 20 verse 6 we're in second
Kings chapter 20 this is God's response
I will protect the city but he doesn't
say for your sake
it doesn't say because of your good
deeds it doesn't say because you walk
before me faithfully and wholeheartedly
he says I reject from my sacrum for the
sake of my servant David
so what are we looking it doesn't make
sense to ever request and based on our
own beats in fact there's guilt there's
actual guilt placed here and I'll
explain in a second but what Edition do
a sham gave blame or cause on the merit
of others in other words you come with
the request on your own benefit your
merits I'm going to do it I'm going to
save the city on the merits of others
now from heaven this was shown to his
attire that he didn't have any merits
because he already ate them up and
there's an idea if you look in Genesis
it's a famous verse I don't have to look
there but um
in Genesis 32 verse 10 Jacob Yaakov says
to Hashem what's the what's the proper
attitude you come with wish I'm with in
Genesis verse 11 he comes in he says
what catotti we call a cassadine look at
the words he says I am unworthy of the
kindness you have shown me I am so small
in respect to all the great kindness
that you have shown me so he's admitting
and saying how small and poor he is in
mitzvahs from in relationship to the the
kindness that he's already received so
now we're getting into the idea that it
could very well be what Rashi was
talking about was future future now
think about this if I was Moses and I'm
saying okay forget my past I owe you you
don't owe me anything
but if I can just get into the land and
I can do mitzvahs I can do positive
things so that's what in Rashi must have
meant we can read Rachid now differently
because there's no way that a righteous
person is going to ask for his pass
but maybe for the future because he
let's just say he's he's righteous
minded
he's pure hearted and he wants to go in
the direction of a sham so he wants
topic I don't win the lotteries like
give lots of charity I mean how about it
I'd say that I got to say give me give
me let me win the lottery because I
deserve it I certainly don't deserve it
but maybe I give charity anyway so
there's least a possibility of in a
future but we're not going to end there
so he basically says craftsmen's it I
appreciation think of those from my same
token so how would we say like Rashi
that you can make your your request
based on deeds it has to be like we
already said lejano tea at home God said
to Moses and is I will grant grace to
whoever I shall grant grace to so this
really it's not really up to us to do
that bargaining so much but we can say
we do learn this idea about what's going
to happen in the future
let me just read the words in a rioter
Khan personal amazing amenity games
shocked me shameless coupe he wants to
basically say that when God says I will
grant grace to those who I would grant
grace to it's not talking about someone
who has either a surplus of good deeds
in the past or even a bunch of negatives
that faceful talking with someone who's
on a level playing field
remember our deeds matter right I heard
that statement in America all black
lives all lives all this all right
who knows what but all deeds matter you
like that we should quote that we could
put that as a bumper sticker hey he's
more fatter it sounds a little bit there
if I Christian because they're variants
a little we're not
I'm very easy just faith alone but okay
all deeds matter how you like that and
when you're on a level playing field
then it's off to Shem
another words there is
concept reward and punishment we don't
you know I'm saying you do good through
event you get punished we talk about
someone who's on a level playing field
that's where the grace idea falls in but
when Moses what was he saying first of
all he was punished for a sin that he
did not to enter the land okay so we
know that he had so many mitzvahs on
behind him and we know he may have had
one you know small sin so the word of
his concept of you know the grace that I
shall grant you was not really applying
to him in this case he felt that he was
he he felt the need to pray that he
could get him but what was going through
his mind what went through his mind to
think that there was a change of heart
by God or that he could change God's
heart for the speed so he bring in an
answer by saying at this ratio he's
gonna I think drill helm the whole idea
that we are talking about in Rashi the
future mitzvahs a person might do so I'm
going to just read a true miracles there
the answer to everything we've said so
far shamash a.m. Russia ation tsadikim
Leela said Toby that perhaps there is a
place for righteous people to hang or
depen their good actions in the
bargaining a map a Jewish both Muslim
tongue scars but it's not to explain it
cannot be explained those actions those
good actions all the mysteries they did
in the past but rather the good actions
the mitzvahs that they plan to do in the
future because what else most say the
general concept of a righteous person is
not really to seek out any type of
physical pleasure the only thing that he
wants to do is to connect with the Shem
and fulfill mitzvahs that's all he wants
to do so you want to come to the Land of
Israel to to be a farmer not to eat the
delicious fruits but to separate your
tithes you want to come into the land so
you can do misses that are dependent on
the lay there is or there's so many ms
mistress that you can only do in the
land of interaction of course Moses
wanted to come in to do the the mitzvahs
future tanks of course he didn't ask for
that but he could have but he was so
humble and we just preface this a little
bit we were about to read he had the
notion what if I get in the land and the
future is so delicious cement and then
I'm eating them and I'm forgetting about
all the I go to the beach and
ashkelon
and the sands are just so right and the
beach is so clear and the Sun is just a
warm I mean come on you know you'd love
to go on hikes and just like you want to
go skiing and you forget about so he was
a little bit afraid of being dishonest
in his own even though he really wanted
to come to the mythril schemes afraid he
might get distracted so again even the
righteous person surely is not going to
ask for past a bargain with past needs
and even the future deeds are in doubt
because who says you ever going to do
him who's only God can guarantee
anything in this world
we're just flesh and blood we would like
to go and we would like to do those
rituals but who's to guarantee that
that's actually going to happen so this
is the reason Moses request the free the
madness fee no the free gift going in
he didn't base it on his actions and he
certainly didn't based on the past
actions if we would have based on
anything would have been future actions
and out of the fear that perhaps he
would become distracted with the
physicality and he didn't answer for
that either
maybe I can read inside and we can skip
I don't know I think I pretty much
covered the concepts but there was a
good costly there were the words of the
ASA he does say at this time look at the
text
I am floored and chef at that time
remember was it so when I talk about the
past
and we're not talking about the future
it sounds like just right now freaking
so I'm not hanging my beads on my
goodies with the past certainly not
hanging my bead good deeds on the future
but basically at that time clear as mud
yeah tickler channels
very good good I'd always looked at at
that time as just after conquering all
of Bashan secon the thing you know he's
seen all the mighty hands of God working
in his favor and he might maybe he could
get a little implore God or little bit
more but this is beautiful looking at
exactly being in the present moment not
looking at the past be now looking
forward to the future which we're not
hearing to be looking at it's very
important to be in the present moment is
something that we teach all in our bed
you're not living in the present without
living oh come on okay so many people
are you know remorse pull over the past
or they're worried that's where theater
comes in I'll be unknown of the future
and you're they're not living it's so
true because they're they've never
learned to live in the present moment
yet something parents which I was just
thinking them from from motion a point
of view I mean being the Prophet that he
was he you know is it possible that he
knew the plan of God but it was better
for him not to enter in based on law uh
go ahead I'm sorry I think you're right
but we know that he prayed meaning there
was a chance to get in and why did he
take that we did who that yet he
actually thought that there was a
possibility to get in and he prayed
three hundred and ten times I think and
remember real time okay was praying
interceding for Israel and he saw the
free how fashion reversed or undone by
his intercessory prayer so now he's
interceding on myself oh yeah
child me good man but I thing you change
your mind before so please if it's
possible change your mind for me let me
enter the Lance and fulfill more myth
boats in the land okay I do want to just
go back into the text a little bit just
to bring it a light alive my text that
I'm really not the text of the tour yo
lol it was with Russia kabocha
publish I see now if Moses would
that may dependent his request on the
future actions that he would do through
his request I treat it
Sherlock so tired a percussion Zedd the
bottom EP then this would be a true
thing she shows it didn't notice him
machine male Hashemi shall sleep oh
because the truth is that a Shem
according to the record the letter of
the law
he made the request he would have made
it on the base on future according to
the letter law God also says keep the
Torah he would have had to grant he
wouldn't had a grant Moses the desire
because the truth is this is like a
heavy statement we know this to be true
the only desire Moses had was to do
God's will I can read it in Hebrew so
beautiful Yankee aina hey Fitz he had no
real team at the share humph it's a
Shambo except for whatever Hashem had in
mind for him even though that he sin and
therefore he was penalized nevertheless
a man Shima hides we don't actually
cause but this is God this is not me
this is God will not cause the person to
sin further so something about the whole
Asia doesn't make sense and I'm what I'm
about to tell you I mean you're all
sitting down don't have any of my other
mostly royal friends but the caller
tells us that living outside the Land of
Israel it's as if you have no daughter
what does that mean that the
relationship is so superficial guys you
come here you get a blown away
you'd be like oh you're like whoa why
did I come sooner
it's a whole nother level of
consciousness and when you breathe you
breathe in wisdom like I mean I you'll
walk people the Christian through your
feet I mean I don't buy it um yeah I
feel like the gradient is microfiber my
life was coming back to the States after
having moved to this for hell and it was
like oh you have to follow the will of
shamon teaching others fora and their
destiny in the land but when it involved
after find him when you're involved but
you are with community building and
sending people off there's Israel then
it's like you're like you made a embassy
like an embassy has the whole equation
said holiness but in that in this case
it does an embassy creates like a land
mass that's autonomous connected to the
original land mass we don't the other
than an airline embassy in Russia it's
like you're standing on American soil
right I mean that's so yeah when you
make an embassy of Israel and outside
the land it's kind of like it's close
it's the best it's the best thing it's
the only solution okay we can't wait to
physically be back
there's rata share with God's help very
soon so I just want to make some Elish
am a roll on a washable but because of
the great humility that Moses had Lord
so little sachet liparota Matsumoto
Hitoshi who lost so tired a hospice
Alaris he did not want to make dependent
his request on those future actions that
he plan to do when he entered the land
why do you align the economy's relay I
said Mitzvah maybe he would end up
coming at the land and not actually
doing the Mitzvah and he would only get
a physical pleasure that he might
receive and then that would he wouldn't
receive any of the real true goodness
that's why he asked in the language of
Hanina hanina's of decking and flooring
a free gift and now he says that's why
says the a sahi at that time he also
sheila to buy shoosh um algata Hoda his
request was based on living in the now
exactly where he was at that moment the
presence should I am a shoe Scoobies
other he still not did not have any of
that future reward coming to me didn't
do anything yet relisha keep a lot of
seat and without having the absolute
clarity about what the future we
bring he thought that the end might
bring him yeah maybe to do Michels maybe
not to do mistress maybe he would do the
made me wind blew them therefore he
actually used the word that Kanaan
asking for free gift as just like you
said there's an eatery this is for us
this is known as Moses is teaching us
how to pray it was it's not just a
narrative about a story that happened
3300 years ago Moses is teaching us how
we should pray get it I mean how often
do we stand I don't know if you use the
text of the Ronettes rated the Amidah
the 1918 blessings or whatever you use
but there are places to use your own
words right there's several places
you're supposed to you're not supposed
to just repeat three words are you
supposed to learn about them and have
meaning because this is this was written
by the men of the great assembly you
know who was on the men of the great
assembly the last of the prophets and
relegate them laugh re it is yeah were
heist on yeah right these guys they knew
that we were losing prophecy they knew
they were the end and they were
directing us and instructing us what we
should we should what but we should be
praying for so we use that as an outline
but we're supposed to add our own words
of certain places and s crush em from
our heart so I just want to make sure
that we get that across and when we do
that no don't ask God what you think you
deserve trust me on that one oh okay
here for you ever wonder if Daniel which
proceeded Azra if this was already known
to say a similar format as the shamanic
x-ray at the time of Fangio Windows
other princes were excusing him a
praying three times a day to shanem
instead of to the king and then Ezra
instructs to pray this Ramona has Ray
three times a day you know time the
morning sacrifice at noon and it's an
evening fire hi I makes you wonder if it
was something that already proceeded
Ezra it wasn't something original if
Daniel was actually
brainless human answering look we film
at the later profits so and and at the
end of prophecy but we all knew how to
pray meaning the new sock the Virgie
diversion of words may not have been may
not have been the east person prayed on
his own but you have in this manere the
first three blessings the last three
blessings and everything that comes in
between okay so we're going to learn
here that you must start out with
praises we know first blessings all that
praises and then you make a request and
you end by saying thank you know this
was taught to by Moses to get from God
to Moses to the people no question okay
that's in the Talmud the on chain
Knesset adalah wrote the new socks but
it was principles that every Jew knew
was important they just wrote it down in
a very clear honest a holy way that will
connect us and it's deep it's a you know
Komachi ism word combinations it's
highly Kabbalistic so most people just
say the words but you should learn them
you in particular really learn the words
and the words are like when they throw
up your lips and you know you're saying
the words that the prophets told you to
say it's huge
if I can say that again you know Donald
Trump it's huge now you really like
become what's the word you know this I
told you there's these five levels of
your soul but there's four levels of
existence and you're like constantly
going up ladders with your souls your
soul and when you're in the middle of
your run s ray and you're really
concentrating on the words you've
entered into the really most intimate
relationship with God I mean it's really
arrogant on a certain level to think you
just sit on your bed and pray Oh like
you know chilled out like this you know
I'll tell you you know before I became
you know Orthodox I was boarding and
Christian I mean I'm telling you I did
all my praying into the bathroom
you can't pray in the bathroom a Jew
cannot pray in the bathroom care under
the baby we shed not supposed to think
of certain things
the only thing which was leaking the
bathroom is how lowly we are truly to
return to a shed that he created us so
distinctly different from all the
animals in the world you know what all
the animals do when they want to go to
the bathroom they just go wherever they
want
we carry a sack with us we walk around
with it man
prick I mean you really think it was God
created us they don't think about
holding anything there's nothing to talk
about maybe a cat is a little bit too
modest what's the word the hygiene but
they go ever they want and we have to
carry all of us to think how we're just
busts of Adam were just humans
you know what hammer angels one
hamburger just animals and we're mixture
we mean between angel and an animal
that's what makes us different
you remember we're unique we're
different in this world and I mean I
just
all my praying seems to been done to the
bathroom in a synagogue if a child has a
diaper that's not cleaning to be taken
out and clean you cannot pray within a
certain distance of a dirty diaper
become by God's name you know okay
enough my ranting so you asked about
this Jonas I really believe that the
principles were all there in the very
beginning and as we're going to learn
here this is the principles of praise
request Thanksgiving and the praise is
what we just don't talk about because
Becca 9 we're going to hear more about
how you this is really intriguing when
you know you're praying to the person to
the item to the entity that actually
fulfill your requests like if you pray
to an idol you're praying to this ball
you're praying to a some kind of a
mental object you know that he can't we
respond is
to do what you want but we're trying to
a sham Assembly Almighty created the
world with his words and everyman
nanoseconds recreating the universe I
mean there's nothing he can't do is 8
billion people and he was intimately
involved in every single detail every
atom in our bodies so like so let's go
into a little bit I don't know
so the a high-heel a more at that time
saying so we already wrote that this the
Fila and the beckoning was at that time
because he was not hanging his request
on any kind of actions that may come in
the future but what does it say Lane
more look at the word and shed I employ
dissent at that time saying I told you
saying always means to command the
Jewish people you must tell them get
Moses is telling the door wrote for us
the generations that every topic needs
to request through prayer a pre good
period that's it you got it right here I
know that this is a manuscript this is a
manual for living manual for life that's
what the Torah is it's a manual for
every detail which hand to wipe yourself
with in the bathroom
seriously right right it's off which
which which true to tie fish it's after
which arms are put into the t-shirt
first when you get a shower how to wash
yourself and I challenge anybody who
this is I think not my expertise but I
think I'm getting there check any Jewish
ritual that you don't see the
spirituality challenge me and I'll tell
you what it is why you have to wash your
right hand for why you have to flick
your sock on first like the arm when you
get the shower you wash your right hand
the right side of your body first you
know what every Jewish ritual you ask me
I'll tell you what the we're going deep
spiritual metaphysical s-super trip out
anyway any questions from you guys in
there
Terry and Heather we're in the river
brother just you're going okay and
either may have a question do you have
one you were about to say something no
man was it oh okay sorry Heather it's
always got a question they're only three
questions
love of the question you know when we in
the sharona's rate in the the Amida you
know what I'm talking about right be
able in 1819 blessings so we always say
other nice if a tight tick-tock will
feel keeping you attack huh right we ask
o Lord open my lips in other words even
to pray Hashem is giving us the energy
the wisdom like even to pray we need his
assistance Oh God
open my lips we just go back okay so
basically she because you mainly take a
muckle no more devar we're actually
asking him to give us a place or space
in order to say these words and the air
assets of the Tao if you look in I'll
tell you where it's Psalms 21 three but
you know the first one I said about that
it's Hashem opened my lips you know
that's in the how we start the prayers
right it's in Psalms 51 17 but now we
skip that already we're now at Psalms 21
3 so once we ask a Shem to open our lips
now we're ready to say you have not
denied the request of my lips we really
want the answers the rest before now
remember you you said you said okay when
I read the words at that time I think of
these they just got finished the world
with secon and oh okay
but meaning at that time Moses had a
concept or an idea that maybe God
changed his mind why why is that okay
we're going to get in some really big
ideas with did you know that a prophet
can command not just a blessing from God
he could command a miracle to happen
right is that obvious so Haley when I'm
gonna tell you about Moses is punishment
Moses felt that he was being punished
because he did not allow God's glory to
be glurk you know properly glorified God
said hit just speak to the rock and he
hits the rock I'm going to tell you that
what Moses finally after 39 years
realized was that I shouldn't even have
had been told to speak to the rock or
hang to hip-hop I should have come
forward and said these people need water
Rock make the water flow and and we know
that doing this works equal to know the
actual made the Sun stand still and how
do we know that because we see that
Joshua did it and when Joshua who is who
is Moses's student and there's a you
know you know that azaireyah shovel a
heck if there's a connection between a
certain word that's used by Joshua as
consents stand still and Moses when he
was involved in the world risk with sick
on a note and we know that through the
oral torah but that's what took place so
let me just read these words when it
says at that time Rashi says Rashi says
after I conquered the land of secretin
oh I imagined that God released the vow
that he made by not letting me come in
because it seems that what did Moses
think he thought what was the reason for
God's Oh because it says in the mid part
is numbers chapter 20 verse 12 God says
because you did not trust in me
you will not lead the people into the
land remember because of the hitting
Iraq and not speaking the rock so you
didn't trust in me and he'd cause
anybody else to trust in me so you're
not you're not leadership quality
so Moses real like I said you realize
what do you really had to do local
Optima shall Omni be bottom line he he
did not cause Israel to believe in God
anymore he and other if Moses would have
said and took the initiative to command
the miracle then he would have believed
in the Shem more ization even made some
forces of weakness seeing this great
miracle was publicized miracle so in the
war of seek huntin dog Moses actually
did cause the Sun to stand still and it
took the initiative on his own and it
was through this great open miracle
where he caused the Sun to stand still
that he must have realized at this
moment
oh I beat it I finally learned my lesson
I could go to the land and leave the
people you know thirteen eight years ago
I messed up but I learned so he thought
now through this great miracle I caused
all the people to believe in a sham and
this fixed that which I failed that that
which was really so I just read the
words I need I using Naismith versa
through this overly obvious miracle this
well proclaimed miracle and the
disaffection not sue Bunning a moon boy
that he caused that for children the
people that were with him become
believers real believers with equal mass
appeal quell and fix that which he was
ruined and he brings down a book called
the safe brocade I'm not sure honey
oh he brings in how we learn out that
Moses I think it's interesting how we
know that Moses cause the Sun to stand
still because you're just hearing me say
the text doesn't say right you never saw
that in the text correct but if you go
to Joshua
Joshua 10 verse 12 you have to see the
Hebrew Shemesh piggy bone donor Josh
Shem said to Joshua
okay that's once I have to go back one
second okay let's go start there so
Joshua would cause the son to stand
still correct that's what it says in
Scott this is this is Joshua saying
speaking to the Sun stand still old son
engi bone okay now there's a concept
that it's closed it's closed at Toyota
Bieber arrived when the Prophet says
something should happen like you know by
Elijah and Mount Carmel God is forced to
do it and it sounds amazing
you guys will sit down for this right
yeah I'm telling you God has to do it
God set you in a mission you got it the
whole purpose is to get these people to
believe in me he doesn't give you this
script you got to kind of go on your own
a little bit obviously what you're
saying yeah you you know this is what
God once coz came to in a vision and a
dream and a so you know God wants from
you and you have to accomplish it so you
feel this is going to accomplish the
goal so it say that you can read it
stand still o son and get bone doesn't
say God told him to say it he said it
Joshua himself commanded the Sun to
stand still and God listened he made the
Sun stand still so now we could find as
we see that Moses was actually he did
exactly like Joshua he also made the Sun
stand still now when we know that
because the Cazares Schuller okay
there's two verses if you keep one
finger in one place on one finger on the
other so in Joshua 3 verse 7 for Jordi
Joshua
it says Hashem said to Joshua this day I
begin this day I begin
- exultant in the eyes of old Israel
that they should know that just as I was
with Moshe so - I am with you this is
okay since this day I begin in Hebrew I
have olive pet llama the seasoning room
this way I begin now you with me
everybody
Joshua three seven okay now look at
pirata me to verse 25 never referring to
25 Deuteronomy to verse 25 yet the same
word this day I shall begin again a hell
this day I shall begin to place dread
and fear of you at the peoples under the
heavens they will hear ugly reputation
they will tremble I mean again it's the
whole concept of being the prophet of a
Shem and causing people to believe in
you not you per se I mean we did believe
in Moses as a prophet and that he was
doing God's will so - Joshua same tooth
I told you to keep your finger over
there
Joshua 3/7 again I fail I'm going to
begin this day I begin to exalt you in
the eyes of all this and come but Joshua
so we're not we told that the prophets
having the ability to do something
commanding a miracle so we see that
clear by Joshua and we know that he kept
the Sun still for about two hours so -
Moses also did exactly the same thing
it's not that hard to believe right and
this is why Moses at this time so I
didn't get in I got punished I'm not
going in because of not taking the
initiative oh I should have learned I'm
a leader the leaders got to take the
initiative and demand the blessing or
demand the miracle from
Hashem and he really believes that he
fixed that which he had broken and he
got the people to really believe in
Hashem and he believes at this moment
that God had released that hope of not
letting him in but the truth was this
was a I'm gonna tell you this other idea
it was not it was not really dependent
on conquering the land of Ceylon and ugh
the land of sea foam is not air to
shroud
it's on the eastern side of the Jordan
but in the South okay
like if it was dependent on coming in
and he felt he was already in Israel but
he was not to come we have a statement
that says that if Moses would have come
into the Land of Israel he looked the
goodwill for temple that he would have
built would never never have been
destroyed that's how great Moses were he
so in others he was Messiah he was the
king and he was the deliverer he was the
Savior our Mushaf is not God so we're
talking about you know victor king and
but he had supernatural abilities like
the mashach will have and who did he
built that he built that temple that
temple that would have been destroyed
now think about it God knew he was going
to sit and as a result of our sin God
doesn't want to strike us he took it out
on sticks and stones get out on the bay
chemic - you know just one day after
tisha Bob you know we don't claim that
this we don't walk around till this day
saying that tempers destroyed because
the Romans or the Babylonians says dn6 a
Tina because of my character well not
not sitting in blaming a whole girl with
the Palestinians you know you know
problems sample in striking the rock
david says millech the v
Hashem is the rock of my salvation and
in a sense it's my character my sins
that have struck him but God doesn't
desire that we should remain there and
like Moshe should have spoke to the rock
the second time we should build a
relationship all relationship is built
on communication through the fulfilling
the prayer that we need to start
speaking we don't need to continue
striking it off let alone quiet like
Moshe did we are all doing that but we
need to be speaking to the rock it's a
great example for us it's live so just
go to this idea that if Moses would have
come into the land then remember already
happened
God said I'm going to destroy them and
start over with you and those you know
nothing to do with that - no Dwight me
out of your book instead keep them alive
so if Moses was doing us such a great
kindness like really not coming into the
land because we wouldn't be here today
I mean nobody would be Jewish people you
know for Moses perhaps for knows but God
would take his rat out on a physical
object rather than us so for that we are
grateful I will go now you can finish
that piece now cuff dollar that's verse
24 is a few ways to read this so we're
going to start out by saying Russia you
know there's the word pet hop and papa I
know it sounds mitten and said very fine
details but the word pet hawk is a noun
and the word PHA tok is a verb Marashi
says what is well this idea I thought
highly apart we loaded up that obstacle
you began to show your servant you began
to show your servant your greatness your
strong hand for what power is there in
the heaven on the earth that could this
is the praises were given to Shem if
they were written we could never even
begin you realize this that even in our
prayers with these prophets wrote they
actually wrote in the prophecies these
great adjectives that we use to praise
God if you and I on our own started
praising God we wouldn't be a lot of
stock the only reason we can start is
because the prophets quoted never like
we talked about the word toddlers even
you couldn't say unless they said they
said these words we can get away with it
right
I'm Caroline ethology ball runner ah
hello Yoko mal Cassady and Toby I mean
come on there's no ad the governor tells
a story some guy was like showing off
bullies praises to God these
drivers are like and the guy stops like
what why'd you stop you can write to
start you can't start and stop so that's
one of the reasons we use the the
prophets words because the quotes from
the prophets it's amazing
can never end so then if you can't add
it's an insult to start if follow just a
brush of a shepherd okay it broken him
okay so hey so back in this idea when it
says you have begun to show this is
verse 24
my lord L o Keeffe you have begun to
show your servants so an Rashi says you
began to show what to stand and to pray
huh
okay Ron I'm on I should look at
the Russian side
it's 24 you have begun to show your
servants pet rock Pet Rock is an opening
to be engaged in prayer and as you
showed him the opening like I already
said we say I deny simatai clifftop God
opened my mouth my words but he says
even though there was already a decree
had been issued I kind of want to skip
this Rashi for a good reason because
this will be complicated but we're
basically talking about difference
between a pet rock as a doorway or a pet
rock as an opening which you should go
through but I want to make sure that we
understand there's a noun and noun
meaning the doorway Excel and then he
created the opening in terms of like a
verb okay so we're going to he's going
to play back and forth with these two
ideas because he says the pet is with a
psycho Sehgal is the 3dr looked like
this you know you're the three dots so
that is with a under the pay of Quetta
you have the Sehgal so Rashi says motive
the roguish you began to show and what
could he show him he showed him the door
just like somebody opens a door to
something and then only afterwards so
what exactly did ish i'm ahora de pekka
regarding what could be shown the door
he showed him the door that what he
should be doing is standing and praying
but the word pop hoc with the Kamat
that's like the long line with the
sounds like an O instead of an e that
would be a mistake if you read it that
way because what would that infer that
would infer Kevon de los en la Concha
pathos that God didn't open until he
started brain
no he showed him before he started
praying
this is how to pray that he should stand
and pray that was a side point okay
let's get back into some really good
head up like this is it the opening is
always there but we don't know how to go
through all that's good yes we need
assistance to the very beginning who
even started four-wheeler
so in Gomorrah brokers as lily alum you
father of them ship Russian welcome that
always a person should organize his
prayer that he always praises God before
he praises before he actually makes his
request free praise did the whole idea
this is like the secret yeah you want to
pray you got it begin the opening has to
be done with prays towards Hashem um
[Music]
yeah and then room so we're looking
right here if you just look at the words
24 verse 24 yeah I like this is Moses
words brings me how it started
you'd begun to show your servant your
greatness your remember we started
saying this is how you open up by God
opened my mouth right because the whole
idea is I should be staying in prayer to
show me your greatness you should begun
to show your greatness and your strong
hand and the power right and you can
perform all that you want with all your
you know your mighty acts and then you
make a request now let me see the good
planner so it says a doctor loca la Rosa
Valdez optical and only afterwards he
makes his request so he begins with all
the phrases and then he makes his
request and the the the clarification of
the matter is again he's just stressing
that every righteous person needs to
pray for what they free get a - keenham
and he should evaluate himself that all
that a Shem does with him is pure
kindness the entire day do you rely when
you living with that reality I can
grieve
I don't even doing anything I mean every
kindness Hashem is doing to us all
constantly all day long and not that
kurdish tomorrow whom Tommy
Pascal God is the initiator in doing the
kindness to man from the day he was born
whereas man not sure this work alma saga
amassing tobe a closer Derek Hesh movie
but all that we do we think of paybacks
you know which is a problem so Hashem is
pure goodness and just wants to give
give give give give he doesn't we can't
you can never pay him back
we can never give him anything you think
we think we owe God or of course real
God but we can never pay him
we can never clear this lake it's just
so much good that's constantly coming
protruding flowing he's giving that we
could never ever pay back
[Music]
Wow
Oh
[Music]
yeah
[Music]
