I Will Appear in a Cloud with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

anybody [Music] Shalom alaikum everybody welcome back to the Ubuntu beat madrash welcome home to Torah a very warm welcome home to Torah number one here we're very text oriented and we encourage you to learn Hebrew so down below there's a link where you can find the original Hebrew black and white number one based on the clear car that is the perus that's the explanation of the Torah that we're using for the discussion however there are past classes and their links are also below I encourage you to look at them as well because watch them study them as well because we're not starting in the beginning we're actually starting on the first verse actually the second verse of chapter 16. and we're only going to examine believe it or not just a few words I have here four maybe five words that we're going to talk about is dealing after the death of the sons of arunada there are many laws that are then transmitted to Moshe sorry to Moshe 2 then convey to our own so it's basically many laws dealing for dealing with the kohenim on Yom Kippur okay obviously all the Jewish people are being represented by the kangado by the high priest and the atonement process is uh it's amazing many many many details um keep in mind this is one particular day of the year in which the Cohen guttle goes into the holy of holies and let me read the whole verse okay chapter two I'm sorry chapter 16 verse two it says and the Lord said to Moses speak to your brother our own that he should not come at all times that's our English translation for the moment we're going to deal with the Hebrews so you have to bear with us with the English he should not come in at all times into the holy within the dividing curtain so we're talking about going into the holy of holies that's behind the curtain that's in front of the cover that is upon the ark so that he should not die and now we're going to also deal with the last few words of this verse for I appear over the ark cloud in a cover so let's just do the Hebrew Hashem God spoke to Moshe speak to on your brother do not come but call Ace now that is interesting language how would you translate how would you understand at any time at all times Ella kodesh to the holies right on the other side of the curtain El Pine that's upon the ark cover right so that he should not die because within a cloud I will appear ance Hashem is saying that he will appear in a cloud on top of the uh the cover of the Ark so I just want to make sure that we're on the same page when we're talking about the Hebrew parts that we're going to deal with these do not come at all times we have to take this apart dissect it and understand what it means because it's it's very important to know what it means and at the very end of the verse in within a cloud I will appear okay here we go let's go to see what the clear card has to say we're halfway down on toughkeep BET the clear card points out right away these words do not come the call Ace however you want to translate at the moment it's okay with me Ella kodesh how would you want to translate it don't come ever don't come at all times we're going to see what it means so right away the clear car says the expression the word La Shon means the language the the tongue meanings the expression of the coal Ace whatever that means at all times is it's not precise it's too it's too vague I don't know what he means when it's not precise it really doesn't make sense even except what is it what does it infer now even though when he mentions what it infers the reason why it's not precise is because the very fact that it infers something wrong means that it's not precise right if you speak precisely then people should be able to deduce or induce what it is you really mean but if you're if you don't speak precisely then you would not be able to really understand what the person's saying so the clear card right away says if you think the call Ace means what you think it means that it means at all times you can't come at all times yavo but at certain times you can come now why is that wrong he right away says the m is anal came you cannot understand it because it's not many times that you cannot and that you can but it's specifically and precisely only one day that one day when I run the high priest many of these children who become high priest are allowed to enter the holy of holies is only on one time and that's when Yom Kippur only in one day of the year so he says like this why is it not true why would your inference not be true if you just mean all times you can't but only specific times you can Sheree ain't no boki because the truth is the high priest can only come in one day of the year so the clear card begins his own explanation where he says and I say is I'm not sure this is going to be the title of the class but this is a very important principle the reason for the Forbidden nature of a coin or anybody or specifically the coin guttle coming in there right we say it can only go in one day so there's 365 364 days he cannot come in is based on the taloi it's somehow because of dependent on hanging on the sin of the people or in plural the sins of the people this is why he can't go in foreign the very aspect of their sins the nature of their sins what does Sin do sin creates a separation right it creates a separation between the Jewish people and between the Hashem between their God usually means like the ruination so here we're talking about the blemish of sin the damage that was caused by the sin is what is preventing the Cohen from going in and I'll just give you a brief history the Sadducees during the second temple controlled the temple service they were corrupt they bought their way in through the Greeks and the Romans and held the position of the high priests in a corrupt fashion and many of those coin godolls as English high priest never made it out of life if the people aren't worthy if the coing god though isn't worthy and they would tie a rope around his waist so if he went in has and he dies inside who's going to go in there to take him out so unfortunately there were many many high priests every single year they had a changed high priest I mean there was some who lasted 40 years some righteous ones who leave them lasted 80 years but for the most part unfortunately because of the corruption that the uh they were kind of called them sudokim they had the the Peru shim which were the Pharisees who by the way just you should know for all the fake news out there that the Jews today are the remnant of the the righteous and holy pharisitic movement whereas the Sadducees they did not believe in the oral Torah and they had many many other issues this is not the topic for tonight but basically um the dependence on the coin remaining alive and coming out on the other side so to speak is dependent on not only his righteousness but the people's righteousness as well so if we send it's not fitting for him to go and have this Vision or this relationship with Hashem okay so then the clear car says now what does that mean that the guilt of the people is hanging is dependent is somehow you know hanging on him so what does that mean let me give you some background of the Korean itself so there's a few things I want to mention number one what we have is an earache a City of Refuge if a Jew inadvertently killed accidentally killed used let's say it was through we call it manslaughter through some kind of negligence there's a lot of very interesting details that's also not for tonight but basically the person who is guilty of this um this manslaughter if he wants to remain alive actually it's also part of his decree he has to run away to a city of Levine a city uh anirei McLeod a City of Refuge where all they're doing there is learning Torah and hopefully that he himself will gain some total knowledge and understand how responsible you must be in the future and change his life but he's really not free to leave this place first of all the Gola Dam the person who's a close relative if he sees them outside the city he could kill him it wouldn't be it wouldn't be murderer and then the the person who killed him is not considered a murderer he's free so it's really a risk to a life for the person to leave besides the fact he's not allowed to leave um but basically it's only when the coin guttle dies that um that he's released so to speak and so we why would the current guttle be responsible for this invert inadvertent killing so the the I'm not going to put it on to one Shear because the shear is not really about this but basically his job is to be a role model to love people and to share you know responsibility for taking care of people and even praying for people therefore on a certain level if he fails in his duty that's why inadvertent murders take place because it's a failure on his part from a metaphysical level okay for whether praying or for um just as a role model it says that the mother of the cowingado would come to these Cities of Refuge and give out cakes and candies and really try to I don't know what the word is I wouldn't call it a bribe but let's say uh you know raise the spirits of these these I'm going to call them incarcerated we don't really have a prison system but nevertheless it's like they're incarcerated so that people don't pray for her son's death okay so there's a lot of um responsibility that coin guttle has in terms of the nation and upholding himself in in good light and praying for everyone else so the Clear Car actually mentions how do we know that his level is actually you know the the people's sins are sitting on his shoulders where he's somehow responsible for people's sins so there's a verse in 28 1 in Exodus 28 1. you'll see this on um number 15. and the verse says this is God speaking to Moshe and you bring near to yourself your brother our own obviously and his son's with him and from among the children of Israel to serve me so in other words the service of the coing Godel which is that this is the idea in chapter 28 verse 1 where Moses is bringing him to that level it's because it's from among the children of Israel in other words the clear card is going to say it's on account of the the children of Israel it's because of the children of Israel you have such a position I mean we generally have a term we think about Hashem as the king if there is no people there is no King there's no king without a people so in terms of this Earthly position of congado high priest it's dependent upon Bene Israel on some level as the verse indicates and then he the clear card says what is this verse teaching us shallots that the bringing close to Moses bringing clothes and and then uplifting his own brother to this position or even all the konim to be in the position of carneem is only because of binay Israel and then he now lays out the foundation when the Jewish people themselves do not have enough credit they don't meritrina so then the Cohen who's dependent on them is relying on them who's hanging on to them right the word means somehow dependent his position is really dependent on the Jewish people therefore we see that if the um if Israel is not on that level then the Cohen will not Merit to see the paneschina what's the paneer Shina the presence of God the presence of God now I just want to mention just so we should understand at the very end of the source sheet on number 28 I mentioned what the ASP aspect Claudia is because we will deal with this idea one of my students asked this week well what do you mean to see the face of the screen there I thought that nobody ever sees Hashem and is able to live so let's just say that's partially true there's a concept called aspaclaria now what does that mean it's like okay so Moses actually did he was able to speak to God face to face and he was the only one every other Prophet first of all they received their the shepher the flow the power of prophecy through Moshe so in other words that's already deep in and of itself but what they could do they're not allowed to say anything that's against the Torah keep that in mind right there's many religions they all want to change the Torah right so any Prophet that comes to change the Torah is a false prophet so they can only reveal they can only explain what we already were had supposed to have known right as the third dictates anybody who tells you something your father or to worship a God your father's had not known is a false prophet and we know what's supposed to happen to that false prophet we won't say it here because we don't want to get banned from YouTube or any other tube anyway so what is it's basically this concept that Moses had no lenses like I have right I have glasses it's a lens so there's an inter there's an interference between my eye and what I'm looking at there's there's a piece of glass let's say for example um I really don't know how this works when you go to the eye doctor but they have this little machine a little thing and they're flipping through these little glass pieces and they say can you see better or worse so it could be that's only one glass but it's thicker or thinner so that's what the aspect Larry is so they want you to see good well but in order to do that there has to be because you don't have 20 20 Vision or you wouldn't be at the doctor's office right so you're there because you cannot see so there's this interference that's allowing you to see keep that in mind because that's what Hospitality really is I have here it's a quote from in the um in the time Ahmed so the gomor is resolving a particular contradiction where it says I saw the Lord so is that to be understood it is taught well that's by Hashem when it comes to the prop I mean that's my motion when it comes to all the other prophets their prophecies were observed through an obscure Looking Glass okay so if you look up aspaklaria it's either means like a mirror or a lens some kind of a window and when it comes to Moses let me just read it their prophecies were giving given as metaphoric Visions but we're not a direct perception of the matter however Moses our Master observed his process prophecies through a clear Looking Glass okay meaning he gained a direct and accurate perception of the matter that's true my motion but all the other prophets so when we're going to discuss this idea I just I'll give you the hint we saw it says that the Cohen remember he's not Moshe and he's not even a prophet but God says he will see me clearly right there's this concept that I will appear in a cloud that's the Divine that's the divine presence but it is a cloud keep that in mind I don't want to give too much away but it is not a Clear Vision because the Clear Vision perhaps he would not be able to see but anyway so let's pick up where we left off the last thing we said was that when Israel does not Merit so then also the Cohen the high priest will not Merit to see the face of the Shekinah pouring however Yom Kippur is different so 364 days of the year there won't be a perception by the coin so there's no point going in but on Yom Kippur it's going to be an exception because all Jews will then Merit in other words the likelihood of us meriting on any of the other days is nil to none as you will soon see but on Yom Kippur something dramatic is taking place you know that people dress up in white they don't wear gold okay let's not go into that right now he says shikoya Israel on that day on Yom Kippur you know what the Jewish people are like Nim shalu their analogous to they are compared to they are similar on that day means to angelic beings it literally means administering angels Angels do not exist within time we discussed this before that remember when when yaakov sent the angels to asaph it says they already came back before they even left you remember so there's nothing to do with space and time when it comes to Angels so since the Jewish people are La malam in his mind like the angels are Venus man time itself does not have shlita Charlotte means to control right does not have any authority over them there therefore this day is similar as if this holy day is similar as if as it's I'm going to call it and I hope nobody's offended it's like the Twilight Zone Yom Kippur we enter a period of time where time itself does not exist Ence so all the other days of the year solar years 365 days so 364 of these days are within time except for this day now when it says you understand what it says you can go in at all times you can go anytime the time exists but when time doesn't exist that's when he goes in and that's going to be the 365th day meaning Yom Kippur now ramaz I mean you got to be holding on to your seats you got to strap yourself in put on your seat belt here the word Satan which is the agitator which is the prosecutor and the truth is he's the Yates Sahara the evil inclination he it is also the angel of death it wears many hats it's pretty busy so the Satan is the Gematria is 364. shin samarthalid 364. with the hey hasatan now the yamo sahama the days of a solo year we all know is 365. now what does this teach us they have authority it has control it has this involvement over humans the coulomb because all the days of the year are in time except for this day Shameless Satan memo the satin has no governance on that day our Caine ain't no big ain't no bigcl therefore it's not included in time meaning the day itself Yom Kippur is not included in time of the calendar solar year but this one day called Yom Kippur it's the tenth day of the seventh month it's standing all by itself again could just mean separated but it also means uh Supreme it's it's resting above and separated from the rest of the solar year now when the Torah tells you Al yavo the Colace don't come and I'm putting the air quotes here in parentheses at any time any time the time exists at all times but you can go from outside of time anyway he says this hints to the idea that the Cohen should not go in at all at any time that is included in time except for the day that's not included in time and that is the day of I would ask for drum roll please it's the day of mahila it's right because we're talking about the sin is preventing the Cohen from sin the the the glory of God but if we're innocent and he's our agent then he's able to perceive it because he's taloibo right there's everything is hanging we are hanging he's only there because of us when we married it he merits it and since that day the day itself whether the Temple's standing whether we have the corbanos or not the day itself is a yum and we're going to see it before the end how is the day of the day itself is a day of forgiveness and we already mentioned that the Jewish people are compared to these Angelic beings these Angelic beings do not fall into the category of time right there which means that the day itself and us as well on that day we're not included in the day well it's really talking about the day the day itself but since we're talking about how we are elevated to the Angelic forces and therefore we're not falling under Time and Time doesn't exist on that day and uh so when we talk about all the other days of the year he says that would be when the Satan who causes you to sin he is a control at that time meaning the other 364. I'll Kane Ain't No din [Music] then it's not right ain't no din means it's just not right it's it's not logical and you could not conclude that the Agents of Israel which is the coinim would be able to okay so in number 16 it's actually talmudley kadushan 23b I just want you to know these words the Gamora says like this it's on page eight the gumark comments but consider that which rohuna the son of Yeshua said with regard to the service in the temple these priests are the Agents of the merciful one now in Hebrew these priests are the Agents of the mercies who want to have highlighted okay so which means like I served as a elected official for the for a a city in Israel and I was elected by the people so who did I represent did I represent the people to the government or why or was I the government's represented to the people I I assume both but there's actually an argument the coinim are they agents of God representing God to us or are they our representatives to God probably and this is that's both but this is the whole uh mclokus that it's either um or as I underlined you might think that the kohani or schluche meaning that they're ours and it doesn't really matter the point is that I have a very dear habusu I've been learning with since he came and made Aliyah and Israel and his last he's a coin and his last name is kazdan and kazdan is an acronym for these um these these letters these words here we also have in the slartic world which is a freakonim it each letter represents the different type of people that the coneem may not marry okay let's move forward let's go on to now the next paragraph which says like this on time this is two lines down from the bottom on that page vanossson Tom Le davar the clear card wants to give a reason for this idea what idea remember in the verse it says in a cloud I will appear That's What God Says why why do you need a cloud meaning to say that if it was only the divine presence in that room without a cloud Lord God would never even need to command only going one day a year because no Cohen in the right mind would ever go in there because of the comment in the statement in the Torah in Exodus chapter 33 verse 20 which you'll see that's number 18 on the source sheet that says God said to Moses and he said you will not be able to see my face for no man shall see me and live okay so nobody would ever so nobody in the right mind would ever go in there so it has to be in a cloud and that will turn the page key I'm sorry however after the fact that God's presence is somehow and I don't know what the word is let's say you filtered right somehow obscured by the cloud Yahoo then the coming guttle is able to see my glory it's the very Cloud that allows the Cohen to see God and I'll just add and live that's why the verse says right I will appear in a cloud that's why God says I will appear in a cloud all Canaan needs Hashanah so therefore God has this need right to um prevent anybody from seeing all year especially because the the the the the the cloud May is not there the cloud is there as a result of the Cohen coming in with the shovel and the coals and the incense he walks in and he plays it in the whole room fills up with smoke and that could be what we're talking about here and by the way cannabus is one of the um is one of the 13th ingredients uh actually it's 11. there's a muck Locust but we'll go with the 11 the 11 ingredients of the incense and so he says that all year round the Israel is that Israel is likely is prone to sin 364 other days of the year so it's it's just don't go in don't even don't even think about it as they say okay now we're going to go to verse three and this verse says that's not the whole verse it is let's find it [Music] it's a 16-3 so we'll find this it's actually 16 3 and verse 5. so look at number 19. we're just going to skip one verse but it says in 19 16 3 with this with these items right we're talking about a corbanos offerings our shall enter the holy with a young bull so that's going to be an a girl okay the Hebrew here says par Ben bakar a young bull for a sin offering as well as a ram an aisle for an Ola burnt offering and then skip to five it says and the from the community who may um they're going to be these two goats that are going to be as a sin offering um okay so that's the part we're gonna look at these are the items that the coin is is offering up on this holy day so the clear cards breaking it down into two different paragraphs the first paragraph he begins by quoting a measures that these three items the Ben bakar right the cow and the um the io the RAM and these two goats we the Jewish people right the counts bring them on our behalf because of the merits that our forefathers Abraham is Jacob and all these righteous people that came before us especially these forefathers as we'll see uh did something like this with these type of animals and they represent and they parallel each one Abraham Isaac and Jacob so let's start with the first one in Genesis 18 7 the par was connected avraham so um when when the Angels came to visit avram when he gave himself this bris so he uh he wanted to take care of these um well what he thought were these um Nomads he didn't know their angels and to the cattle did avraham run and he took a calf tender and good and he gave it to the youth and he hastened to prepare it that was Ishmael who prepared it the El habakar Ras avram bakar so avram took now what we're going to do in the next paragraph is parallel all these to Yom Kippur but in the meantime it was goose avos in why these were brought the next one was the Isle which is connected yitza which you know between me you and the Lamppost we don't need a verse but of course there are verses and um that you would find number 21 in Genesis 22 verses 13 and 14. right so um right so avram lifted his eyes and he saw right he was about to uh Slaughter yitzkak and instead of slurring Yitzhak he saw there was a ram after that it was caught by in the tree by its horns avram went and took the RAM and offered up as a burnt offering instead of his son and now Abram named that place and this is very important because we're going to see it later the Lord will see as it's as it's as it is said to this day on the mountain the Lord will be seen so just to go back to the Hebrew so this Ram was caught in in the in the um in this tree and later on the verse says which they still say to this day Hashem on this mountain God will be seen that's very important but in the meantime we see scuravos avram is the cow you know brought the cow Yitzhak in place of Yitzhak was the aisle and what about the schneeism by Yakov Yakov these two goats because in chapter 27 verse 9. so when Rifka was helping yaakov to get the blessings he told him go bring food to your father she says now go to the flock and take for me their two Choice kids meaning goats and I will make them a tasty foods for your fathers he likes so the cockley mishom okay now what would they use for by the way right so we're going to get into that in right now so the Clear Car explains to us the kavana of this Madras by saying just as we find shagam Le moisha that Moses was only able to see you know Hashem face to face he was only healing merited to see Hashem and have this relationship with because of us not us meaning because of our forefathers and how do we know that look in Exodus chapter 4 verse 5. so when God is telling Moshe by the um by the bush right you're gonna listen to these you know words I'm giving you and you're going to uh you know bring the Jewish people out of Egypt it's in the Merit of the forefathers so it says in order they believe that they believe that the Lord their God the god of their forefathers has appeared to you the god of Abraham the god of Isaac the god of Jacob Hashem right in order that they should believe that it's Hashem that appeared to you so this is very interesting that was by the bush now he also mentions the main reason that the cohengado is able to see the Merit to see the the glory of God is from ascendancy and descendancy meaning because of the avos and as we're about to see also because we actually did see it it depends on our level as well okay now to the last paragraph he describes how each one of these things actually took place on Yom Kippur the yes that all three whether it's the par by avraham whether it's the um the Isle the ram by gitskak or some relevance of these two goats by yaakov having something to do with Yom Kippur so let's see the first thing he says is right when we talked about Genesis 18 7 where avram ran to get these um this food for the Angels he ran to get this this par so the the there is a measures that holds that this was on Yom Kippur so by the way there is a mucklocus whether or not avraham um actually we write whether it was pesach or whether it was Yom Kippur meaning whether it was in Nissan or whether it was in tishra now where do we see that I think that was in number 26 Russia Shawn 11a so this Bryce the the Gamora over there discusses many details of dates but one particular date it's talking about that on Passover Isaac was born okay so we know Isaac was born on Passover and there's actually no more argument about that and there we how do we know this though it's written that the angel informed Sarah that she would bear a son um she would bear a son and it says at the appointed time a moate I will return to you at this season now and so I did have I shall have a son in 1814. Okay so how do you understand this in other words let's just go through this the Angels appear when we don't know but they said at the festival when right it's going to come this you're going to be you're going to have a baby by then so at the next Festival so if you want to say that it was Passover which there is an opinion that it was Passover so the following festivals is less than three months it's actually 50 days right in other words it's it's the last two weeks of Nissan it's the entire month of the ER and then it's six days into the third month but all together it's only 15 days who can carry a baby for 50 days it's not viable right it's not happening so it can't be that it was passage that he said by the next Festival because sugar was only 15 days later that these angels came and said she would be uh she would give birth and by the time they come back she'll have given birth so then the following is is uh in the month of tishray and that's about five months so we're four four and a half months doesn't make sense there either so the Gomorrah concludes at least according to this argument you must say it was sukis and the festival he spoke about was in the month of Nisan which is six months later the Gamora says a seventh month maybe baby is viable what's a six-month baby a a seventh month baby is a six months in one day which is meeting to the seventh month so that's we've had many many interesting births in of seventh month babies even Moshe himself was born three months earlier as we know that that was in order to save him because they were looking out for that particular day to kill all the babies so he was born three months earlier and we have many others throughout Tanakh were of six months babies and here's one of them okay so what we basically just said was in Genesis 18 7 where avram is running to get the food for these angels who had predicted or prophesied that the baby would be born it holds that the day that the Angels came and told him that was that was Yom Kippur when he ran and got and got the uh the calf the now in in Genesis 17 26 where's that it's um number 24. we mentioned the very day of what it says on that day avram was circumcised so was ishmael's son this is the day the Angels came to visit avram they were circumcised so guess what I mentioned here in Leviticus chapter 23 verse 28 it's number 25 this day called Yom Kippur has the same verbiage right it says being circumcised let's look up right 1726 so too by Leviticus 23 28 it also uses the same expression Batson so there's a a not a foregone conclusion but at least that's one argument that it was actually Yom Kippur now basically what it's saying is the entire I should say the entire narrative from in Genesis 17 chapter 17 verse 1 until chapter 18 verse 33 it's all dealing with the same day now interestingly enough if you're really carefully examine it that's the day that avraham is arguing or negotiating with God to save Saddam so it's a day of judgment it was always a day of judgment keep that in mind especially for the the name Noah should understand that even though the Torah was not yet given in harsinai that the Jews even from admiration who was given six Mitzvahs and knock was was given another but there were always righteous people to generation shame that's Noah's son um by the way he's the same as malcolic and these are righteous people Shaman Aver who had a Yeshiva that Abraham Isaac and Jacob learned in so this is a very um in others we we have always had privy to God's Torah as it was revealed again when we say that avraham yitzhakanyakov kept the whole Torah what does that mean some say it means that they kept the seven Nokia laws some say they just kept the positive some say they just reframed from the negatives so there's a a lot to discuss but basically they had it I mean at least the way the the Rashi explains they even kept the rabbinic laws that weren't even given yet because someone who's that sensitive to the Torah let's say spiritual nature of the universe which avram surely was in tune he wouldn't wear sharpness can you imagine how would you know not to wear wool and linen other than if you had a a some kind of oral tradition well there was an oral tradition the oral tradition was the Cain and Abel brought different sacrifices one broke wool and the other brought linen and it didn't work so well so if someone is really spiritually in tune without the Torah they would be able to figure it out but I wouldn't count there's eight billion plus people on the planet I doubt most of us would be able to figure that out we're not that spiritually sensitive but rosh Hashem we do have the instruction manual and we could uh we can tap into I'm going to use Divine intelligence right we're not using artificial intelligence we're using Divine intelligence okay that's another plug for the Divine intelligence here we go so the clear card continues and just mentions that this is all like one narrative from chapter 17 1 until 1833 and you see unbelievable that the Judgment of mankind in sedome is square right there and it all took place on Yom Kippur the whole world is being judged it's not just the Jewish people right I'm talking about that area you know that time period from Rosh Hashanah until the final Judgment Day of hoshonaraba so it's a three week period And there's different levels okay we're not going to go into that now continue onwards now what would your question be he served a meal on yum Kipper who serves meals on Yom Kippur except for maybe you know extreme Lefty anti-religious people making a barbecue on the beach of Tel Aviv who's going to serve the suit on Yom Kippur he says the clear cry wants to let us know yeah the whole thing is about a Suitor right and it's all happening on Yom kippuradine the Torah had not yet been giveno he himself did not eat he was strict on himself that's going to be another big plug for when it comes to stringencies one should never I'm gonna use the word never kind of loosely but really never judge others and take out your you know I don't know what you want to call it Bible thumping uh you know elitism and say well everyone should keep those no you yourself keep the stringencies if you choose to and when it comes to others you don't right these are first of all they were he thought they were Gentiles first of all they were angels they didn't even eat and then whatever they ate could have been angel food but or they acted like they were eating but nevertheless when it comes to others there's no reason to place your stringencies on them whether in judgment in your own mind or in reality by uh even peer pressure anyways what about the Isle of Yitzhak just like the measure says of course we're reading on Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur these areas of the of tishre all about judgment and the akedas Yitzhak okay so roshani Yom Kippur it's really all one long 10-day holiday anyway now that's the end of the verse I mentioned in 22 Genesis 22 13. go back to it it's uh number 21 it says at the end of the verse right that um named that place the Lord will see as it is said to this day on the mountain the Lord will be seen the Lord will be seen what was the original problem we said that this was um in the cloud right it says that the kibana that in a cloud I will appear so over here that Hashem will appear when on Yom Kippur this idea that we're we're putting in each one of these things to do something with Yom Kippur so it says that every single year on Yom Kippur God will appear as it says in the cloud he will be seen there now what about the two goats the Two Goats I don't you know anybody knows anything about Yom Kippur knows about the two goats right it's called a scapegoat right one goes to a zazel the other one goes to Hashem right they have to look alike they have to be you know same size the same pattern right and perhaps even twins but for all practical matters there are these two goats that everyone knows about so how do they parallel what do those two goats of yaakov so the measure says when Rifka said to him bring me schnegie deism bring me good ones that's what the verse says in 27 verse 9 of Genesis so what is Titans plural meaning she says it's going to be good for you because you're going to get the blessings so it's telling them for you and it's going to be good for your children your future Generations because by you bringing these goats you're going to end up with the blessings and what about your children that through these two goatsapp there will be a future Redemption that's going to happen to your children on Yom Kippur um and from that point on yako was assured Al caparus Yom kodes there on the atonement process of the actual day itself through these two uh goats so that was a nice promise given to yaakov so this right we're far away from Yom Kippur right Yom Kippur is halfway around the calendar from now right we just got over pesach so we're we're pretty much you know five months plus away from Yom Kippur but this is the Parsha and there's many many um deep things that have to do with our lives and our relationship our ongoing relationship with the Jewish people our ongoing relationship with God right and uh so keep this in mind although someone asked me to give a uh a uh a short devartora on Israel Independence Day and the only thing I can really say based on this is really that we get the leaders that we deserve right when we're on a higher level so our merits have higher level leaders so whatever criticism you may have we are a a we're a an experiment in progress right when I say experiment I mean you know this is an unbelievable experience an experience where we're living through it and so we want to see the mashiach we want to see the temple rebuilt we would love to see a a just government and slowly but surely it will all come to be if here we pray every day for the the saint agent to return and to have a proper justice system that it all starts with us just get your own house in order and everything else will just come to be anyway have a good Shabbos and we'll see you all next week [Music] foreign [Music]
