Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Kabbalistic Secrets of the Red Heifer

[Music] welcome everyone to the in a date Madras welcome home to Tora with a warm oh task post corona hug we wish we could embrace everybody warmly but we'll do the best we can verbally and with him with a great smile so tonight is parshat who cut and I began to give this class like two years ago and I never got through all the informations just so rich and deep and fundamental I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try again and get through six pages of just delicious information we're talking about the red heifer the para a Duma and as we will see that it was pretty it was a secret to almost every human being that roamed the earth except for one that would be Moshe Rabbeinu according to the clear car number one and number two the clear car is going to give us some deep insights that you may never have heard before at least you heard all this information but not tied together right some of the things that we're gonna reveal to you you already know but you never heard it in this fashion so I beg you I'm not really begging you I'm I'm I'm it's for your benefit okay to stay awake until the end okay so let's begin like this in chapter 19 verse it's really versatile but we have to read verse 1 because it says lay more in verse 1 and lay more we're gonna see what it means the Lord spoke to Moses in our own lame or saying what's the next verse this is the statute of the Torah which the LORD commanded lame or saying why is it say lame or twice buts here in the Hebrew read I bear I don't know I yell Moshe the L our own lame or ok lame or means to say over so what is it that Moses and Aaron must say over to the Jewish people those who Tyrel this is the statute of the taurah i shared siva hashem lain war which god actually commanded to say this is crazy that Moses and Aaron are obligated to tell over something and what is it this line this is the statute of the Torah which the LORD commanded again the word lay more now they have to say over again something else so it's very interesting because you don't find the word lame or twice in almost any other place there may be one or two exceptions but they also have meaning and the meaning here if you stay tuned you will find out what do you have to bring speak to the children of Israel and have them take for you taking from OSHA this motion needs it a perfectly read unblemished cow which which upon which no yoke was laid so the Hebrew is right da bear albinius trial speaking children Israel the years who Alexa para they shall take for you this cow para Duma taneema I share a moi mooom I shall o Allah Allah ha Oh fine the first thing we should do is look at the Rashi now you know what the clear car doesn't go there yet let's look at the clear car and he begins by focusing on this idea that Leymah is set twice and he wants to know why and he strengthens the question just by letting us know if you look back at verse one it says as we said lead our brother Noel Moshe the El our own lame or so he begins by telling us Rashi Rashi says because the nations of the world the almost ha-olam are going to mock or taunt the Jewish people by saying what is this commandment what purpose does it have because we have to understand the difference between a mish pot and a hook and this is the Hulk of all what's the difference between a mish cotton and a hog a mish path is basically a ace mostly a civil law a law that has to do is obvious and reasonable logical just a Hulk has more religious meaning let's say it has metaphysical meaning there are meanings that are attached to them but it basically will give an example sharpness right don't make a garment of wool and linen you're gonna wear right or maybe seat seat right different religious objects or mitzvahs that don't have a purely logical where it's not based on logic okay so this this oak who cut the Torah is basically that and since the hit them the meaning was hidden especially before King Solomon who was the wisest man of them all right and we're gonna see here he even said I couldn't grasp it so what do we expect from them they're not gonna understand that either therefore the Tory actually uses the word statute to tell I have decreed it who's I hash em so we're gonna see how the word Hulk and where the word taurah let's say the word taurah and the word king are going to be interchangeable because it was God who decreed it where does the cooking come from it comes directly from God just like the Torah comes directly from God the second part of that Rashi is going to become very important although we won't really understand it but anybody who's read this Rashi and never thought twice tonight is the night to think twice because it says it will always be called on your name meaning the cow is Moses prepared in the desert you looked at me what do you mean I never heard but I heard Moses has a Torah I heard Moses has a people right I'm all or the tourist Moshe but right Israel's considered his people the Torah it has his name on it but since when does this cow the Puma have Moses name stamped what does it stamp like the branding on the back on the hind of the cow I can't do that anyway right we know that but so what does that Rashi mean we're going to investigate this tonight and we'll continue now in the actual clear car so basically he says this is what the Torah is teaching you ready when when God told Moses to say over to the Jewish people this statement that this is the hook of the Torah that in proverbs 26 5 you will find that number two on the so she do not answer a fool according to his folly lest even you become like him and there's a lot of fake news out there a lot of crazy stuff going on be very careful only use the Torah as your basis for really finding the truth but anyway the rest of the verse says answer a fool according to his folly lest he be wise in his own eyes in his sight as it says in Hebrew and the last part I make seal Kiev Alto answer a fool according to his foolish news Pena Hakan baina lest he walk away from the discussion thinking he's right and allowing him just to continue in his in his folly at least you can try your best to set him straight what does Rashi say on that do not answer a fool with words of quarrel and contention lest you become like him you have to answer him with wisdom answer a fool who comes to win you over to idolatry god forbid let him know his folly lest he be wise in his sight okay so I don't know what to continue that the meaning of these two verses is explained in the verses themselves do not answer in a matter in which you will become like him if you answer him but rather answer a fool in a matter in which he will be wise in his sight if you do not answer him meaning don't do that make sure right answer a fool in a matter this is what you should not do all right don't answer the fool okay in a matter which he will walk be wise in his sight if you do not answer him do not answer him he will think that he is correct and walk away thinking he is correct okay so what is the clicker why is this so important because if you don't give him the right answer the yacht tilde C Bacall datura he will consider the entire Torah foolishness fake news and he'll scribe falseness to it and therefore there's no value right you want to give over a good answer now you can always I'm going to tell you it you can always say I'll get back to you right you can always do that because if you have nothing to say except foolishness better not say anything right so the best thing is to do is if you don't know say you don't know and you'll get back to okay and that's why it says I should see my Chevrolet more which God commanded saying meaning that you need to answer to l'm in hum in heart to the mocker who is mocking you she's awesome it's true this is where you say who casts a Torah right that's we said after the first lame work this is the hookahs of the Torah this is the statute of the term meaning to say it's the statue of the king I just loved the Hebrew hokum Eliquis brach Shamal a No God's name is right it's on the on the who came and we have no regime estate minh tibet the poutine we and then Rashi mentioned that we don't really have any right to question obviously anything of misrata we ask and we we tear it apart and we try to understand every piece of it but when it comes to the who came we can only go so far okay so once you go so far you know you can't really question it like Rashi explains and that's what it means they yeah new socks tea roots then the tour is actually telling you the language the version the verbage you should use l homme in Ha Malik to the heretic who is mocking you that's why it says those who catch a Torah this is the statute of the Torah you know what it does say it doesn't say this is the statute of the cow which you would not expected it to say when it says all over the Torah this is the more of this this is the law of that there's only one other place where it says those who curse a Torah all other places this is the law of this the olla of this or that but it doesn't say this is a law of the cow and the reason is the reason is because this is the exact terminology that God wants you to Moses right that God wants you to answer those who are mocking the Jewish people the Phoenicians no sir no socks there who Trouville the meaning harmonious Israel this is what you say to them the holy camel it is Braco that what it's the it's the decree of the king blessed be his name why because the word Torah and the word King are interchangeable I'm just reading the words you wonder you want to understand what it means he goes on and says he meet oh you sprocket AIT's a Torah why is it that the word Torah and the word King interchangeable because where does the Torah emanate from the king the king the king of kings Hashem is Barack shimoyama so they will not say shame mitzvot zoom mcleod Mitsu cetera because they could possibly say look I get your nice laws right don't jaywalk don't go through red lights right don't steal thank don't murder I get it but when it comes to this this is all superstitious this is hocus-pocus this is witchcraft no they'll understand but that what that it sparked and included in all the Middle's of the Torah but we're not finished this is one of the statements that I believe the tour is telling us and I know there are been a North watching this that they have every right every right to try to understand this book the Torah then they've every right in fact what it sounds like they're obligated listen to this in parshat the fk9 you can find that in Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 6 this is talking to the Jewish people us you shall keep them and do them right look smart receipt them why because it is your wisdom and your understanding he hath mask em will be not them Linnea mean in the eyes of the non-jews in the eyes of the nations which listen which here and we know what the words Mommy n--'s just hearing no really understanding smile it doesn't mean here o Israel this nose job it means understand okay understand what which will understand Escala who came ha Allah which the non-jews right the nation's they will understand war it says o of the hooking of these cooking the the arm hrough and what will they say when they understand them they will say Rock I'm talkin de naranja go ahead Godot Lisette they will say only this great nation is wise and understanding what kind of people are these these are the Jews they are wise and understanding and look at Rashi so what does it mean to keep them that's that's for study what about and to be interpreted according to its apparent meaning for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the people through this you will be considered wise and understanding in the eyes of the people now at this point where are we standing we saw Rashi and Rashi told us they're gonna mock us they're gonna say you're fools correct by just looking at the para Duma and yet there's a pus extracting white on the Torah that says they will see what we do and they'll think that we're actually wise what's going to be the difference the word all Oh once they learn all they'll see the truth if they only look at a partial picture and they only look at the para Duma they will think we're absolute fools listen to his words listen to the clean your car it's amazing what he says so he just brought the verse in chapter 4 verse 6 in Deuteronomy but the con mash my adder Abba right we all know what the word odd the Rob it's a good word to know quite the opposite what we said here so far in hookah cetera right about the para Duma that it's quite the opposite that they're going to mock us about the hukum so the answer is there are hooking I have to read in Hebrew but I I'll try my best eh cooking she Yakko has said her and Oh Sheila Sita mom there are hooking there are types of cooking that a person is actually able to grasp and understand their meaning except for sure Tom mr. McCallum own aside from parts of some of the reasons which are totally sealed off from the masses and they are niggler Julieta they shri they adore and they those secrets are revealed only to unique individuals at each generation para Zhu Tom - Tom Nicola done however when it comes to the Peres Duma it seems like it's sealed off the secrets are unknown to every human being because we know by King Solomon lavish Shalom peace be upon him he's a Dutchman a para he was able to understand everything except for whatever it is that had to do with this most secret understanding of the Peres Duma he talked to the animals he knew the language of the animals it says in Co helis which is Ecclesiastes am i right chapter 7 verse 23 and but it was far from me do you really have to see the whole thing because I did bring it down if you guys want to look at on your own on what Alan Watts spend too much time on it but if you look because I quoted verse 23 24 and 25 in 25 he does mention something here I don't know where the who can begin an end but I turned about with my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom so look in the Rashi and again I turned about to know and to search out and to seek the wisdom with the passage of the red heifer as well as to know the end of days okay so the secrets of the para Duma were not known even to King Solomon no no no that's what we just got done saying motion I mentioned the motion new but King Solomon himself did not know that's what it means when it says but it was far from me the Hebrew is the Hebrew hokum II many and we just got done reading the other Rashi on I think it's verse 25 which says I again I turned about meaning I sought it out but he never he never he never grasped it you understand okay so now he says therefore what happens Lathika almost shunning Hulk peril of odd this is the clear car it's so amazing for the non-jews okay the almost they here meaning they try to understand only the Hulk Apparel Avadh only the law or statute about the para Duma vada moaning Allah Allah for sure they're gonna mock us and that's why it says yet called Hakim a Lee remember in Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 6 it says all that verse was the one where they praised us and understood that we were wise where do they mock us if they only were looking at this particular hook why why does it say call he has shown him Jaco Kola hooking the cloud they actually heard or try to understand and maybe understood or the hook came now I'm not saying make total sense to them but at least they they made the effort and it probably resonated eh bamboo came Shh man Tom Nicola there are cooking that do have revealed reasons then they would you do you give Doon they would basically testify whatever you know is going to testify and proclaim garma Hulka now on also on that which you don't know how does the platters to do that look at me okay so we knew i'm not talk about blind faith and I'm not talking about leap of faith but when you have a system let's say there's a system of justice you're not a law professor and everything you looked into this system of justice seems Wow fascinating and the best type of system so even those few laws that are beyond whether it's the the language the vocabulary the meaning behind it you will accept that's probably also just you follow what I'm saying now so basically having a good understanding of this book called the Torah a basically good understanding of it you know that it's just and you know that it's true you'll accept the few little crumbs that make no sense whatsoever like this I'm not gonna call it crumb like this Hulk like this mish pot like this one particular detail you'll accept it as part of the package the package is so rich and nourishing for your soul and for society that you know that even that what you don't understand is totally acceptable even though you don't get it I think that's really same as I hey McGee don't you give them gum Hulk and Nell I'm pH bo-zone because this particular Hulk has a secret the youth Lucas our own the culture das hamachi and you know what you're gonna chalk it up to you know what you're gonna hang it on you're gonna say it's me who doesn't have the ability to grasp it right you can sit learn law all day long and everything you get and once one thing you don't get but you know these were wise people who were involved here we're talking about a stem cell but here you know that the people that wrote it we're full of integrity and and wise so when you don't understand something what's the proper I'm gonna use the I think it's proper then it sounds normal that you should come to the conclusion I need to study more right the reason I don't get it is because there's something lacking within me as opposed to ah I just throw the whole thing out since that one little thing I can't understand or it doesn't sit right with me I'll just really call it throwing the baby out with the bathwater you ever heard that expression perhaps okay so that's the first paragraph so the clear car continue continues we get to school like a para remember how we saw that Rashi it was Moses as cow wait till you hear this made to hear this Rashi says leo Heena crate Alshon aha what does that mean always it's gonna be called by your name hello my your car doula not on the Moshe busy she could carry a para el shamah what in the world is so great what is so dear and great that this cow was given over to Moses gonna be called by his name so the clear card begins by explaining the crow vile i lo Mariposa listen closely listen to what I have to say that a concept of a mitzvah any Mitzvah is usually going to be called on the name of the person that finishes it so I haven't I I mean I have an idea also a war who finishes the work who actually wins the work right like the Six Day War and think the Israeli conflict we write we want right when you have a winner of a war that's how the war is going to be called by the winner here we're talking with a mitzvah so if a bunch of people started mitzvah but one particular person finishes it or the vice versa it's going to be called on the name of the people to finish it so look at this piece of Gemara let's find it it's in so - 13b am i right so listen to these two verses in Exodus 13 19 it actually says that Moses took the bones of Yosef with him and we know that Moses is the one that took them out of Egypt correct he's the one who took them out of Egypt who brought him into Israel the Jewish people Joshua did so look in Joshua 24 32 and you know it says over there it says in the bones of Yosef which the children of Israel I would expect it to say brought into each brought into Israel the children of Israel brought the bones of Yosef in DES RAL it doesn't look at the verse it says the bones of Yosef which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt they didn't bring him up out of Egypt they brought him into Israel Moses brought them up out of Egypt so the answer the core brings even though you see a contradiction says who in fact took Joseph's bones where bahama the son of Rebecca Nina said anyone who performs a matter but does not complete it and then another comes and completes it the verses scribes a credit to the one who completed it as if you perform the entire Act that's what it says you understand the principle it's the way the Torah scribes it and it probably we do as well okay so that's the first part just to get the principle so we're going to now compare that moses finished the product called the para duma remember we asked how is it called by moses his name listen carefully doctor although I find so hazael tell us in the Med ruch that the para donar atones for the sin of the golden calf and this is the famous thing that you've all heard these words that the mother comes and cleans up the feces the dirt of her child so to what Moses does did he began the Khepera process he began the would he do he he burnt this egg on Zahav he burnt the golden calf and he grounded up very finely so to you were a Khepera so - God gave him a chance he started it and he finished the job member the word says they're going to bring it to you right speak to the children of Israel and have them take for you this cow this para Duma we're gonna have to find the relationship between the egular Zahav between the golden calf and the para Duma so I'm telling you if you already know these ideas we're going to go deeper than you've ever gone before okay what do that Star Trek we're going to places we're going to parts of the universe that you have that have never been explored me mean by you obviously by others okay so where are we here we are just as Moses began the atonement process when he burnt the a go and he grounded up very finely into dirt into into ashes so too he finishes the Khepera shegaon Haga mario kario Shamu so - it will be called by his name so we have to see ready for this the reason for the matter is as Cazale describes in the meddra SH that when Moses heard a Kurdish Morocco now this is I'm not gonna go deep into this but Moses when he went up to receive the Torah he saw the future he saw all the arguments that we ever had in the gomorrah meaning the principles he heard and perhaps even the details I should say of who said what and he heard in the name of Rabbi Eliezer you could find this in number six in the missioner in Peres Duma where it says a pat in the name of rabbi eliezer that a para duma has to be over a year old but less than two years that's called botch in a time matching the time means it's more than know when you reach one year in one day you're in your second year of life correct okay so let's use those terms it has to be in its second year of life and what about an egg a loofah what's an egg Allah rufa just a short very short synopsis if God forbid a corpse is found between two cities and we don't know there's no we don't want to bet on who committed this crime so the elders of the two cities that are closest come after measuring it and then the the ones who are the closest take responsibility perhaps because they did not escort the person to safety or show him the the route that he needed to go this is a very deep concept I will tell you now just quickly that if God forbid someone is in such a position where they were probably killed eaten mauled by wild animals or by humans I know this is metaphysical ok then when you leave us when you leave someone's home and you don't know where you're going or you don't have the confidence of where you're going that stays with you you know if you saw a dog or a bear and you stare at it down I'm not I'm not telling anybody to do this ok but there's a good chance that it might stop right and not Maul you right but if you run away or you have fear within you they smell it and you know what so do human beings robbers they know who is vulnerable and who's easy prey and who might fight back and who has confidence so when you walk someone home and you walk something out of your house walk them a little bit be like you're your presence is with them and they feel your presence with them until they arrive home now that could mean you're going to give them proper directions it means that when they get to a certain point you just point them in the right way and they're on their way but you being there escorting them will add to like I'm not saying if that's their soul but it adds to their level of security and xem by another human being showing that they care ok so we could talk about that another time I want to get back to this idea that this particular calf whose neck is broken in this ritual when the elders of the city say that our hands have no blood we did not shed this blood so this is a special type of as I call the service or ritual and that's what rebby laser was talking about we call it an egg Allah and egular Ruffa it has to be less than a year old but Janata means in its first year of life and when Moses saw this in heaven when he went up to receive the Torah he said a prayer that this particular rabbi he hoped that he would come from his loins and happens to be that he was a LaVey remilia's or was a lady so as it says in exodus chapter 18 verse 4 when moses names one of his child which happened to have been before this the receiving of the torah nevertheless one of his kids he did name Eliezer now what does Eliezer mean let's look at the Rashi there but I don't have the Rashi to the verse itself and the one this is number 7 18 for and one who was named Eliezer because Moses said the God of my father came to my aid and rescued me from Pharaoh's sword so who's gonna come and play shortly vishay Mahad Eliezer klo hi hello hey Aviva esri the Yahtzee lay no Yahtzee Lainey okay so what did Moses see what what did he see that he desired so much that what that this particular law should come from somebody who comes from his loins remember we asked why is this cow called the cow who Moshe he saw something in this law by Rebbe Eliezer that he desired the rabbi the one who who put this law out into the world explained them this law should cut from his loins more than any other law in other words there's so many laws how many laws do we have hundreds of thousands of details of laws and this was the law that he wanted to his progeny to bring to the world and from all the rabbis that ever existed why I'll tell you why L official Maya say a girl monster motion offshore ice raft this is an amazing concept it was the actual a ghost it was the golden calf that Moses gave his life for us for do you remember God wanted to wipe us out out totally he wanted to do away with the Jewish people after the sin of the golden calf and Moses is the one who said I will take their place remember that wait me if you're gonna wipe them out wipe me out God when God wanted to start a whole new nation with Moses Moses in God's eyes was equal to all the Jewish people and he was willing to give over his life that that shouldn't happen that the Jew so we owe our life to Him but just think now the connection between the Eagle the calf the golden calf Moses is willingness to give his life then he's the one who's involved in the beginning stages and the end stages of what we call the para Duma the this red heifer and we also made the connection that what so we saw the connection between this measures that says it's like the mother who's coming to clean up for her son right you had this made in the palace of the king and she brings her kid for the day for daycare because there's Corona or something right so the kid makes a mess in the palace who's gonna clean it up of course the month is gonna clean it up so it's like Moses is the mother cleaning up for the Jewish people in this case we're actually saying the the Peres Duma the mother she's the mother she's more than a year old is cleaning up for the egg L which is less than a year old with the Engel meaning the definition of an eagle and we talk about the eagle azov the golden calf so that's the comparison that we need to concentrate on and he says like this look in 3232 of Exodus Moses himself says ma hey Nina miss apakah so that you find in number eight right and now if you forgive their sin that would be great but if not he raced me now from your book which you have written which is in Hebrew Mahaney nama sip raha okay why is that important the tick rule ASIMO that the book and the people of Israel are called by his name the knee crew al-sham oh I think he's talking about the people because it says Chanel mark we're gonna see later that the book is called the Torah of Moses but the people are called the people of Moses look in Isaiah 63 verse 11 and his people remembered the days of old the days of Moses so in Hebrew the use Korean may alam Moshe mo we are called the people of Moses that's for sure our King Russell Chicago pursue me rose me out so therefore he wanted that also the Peres Duma this Red Cow this red calf the Red Cow should be from the very beginning until the very end called by his name because the pyrrha this power it's reason is it's reason what's the reason for the Peres Duma ultimately it's because of idol worship again it's the mother that's coming to clean up for her son what's her son the golden calf which is idol worship but not only that so - also the egular rufa during the sin of what we call the golden calf there's another place as we sinned in all three we did idol worship we did we did murder and we performed in illicit sexual relations not going into that he brings down to that we also besides other worship were involved in murder when I say we I'm tell about the Jewish people because who did they kill I know you heard everything I'm saying you guys have heard before these putting it all together in such a nice way so basically you had both remember we talked about the egular rufa and that is atoning for sin i'm so the sin of murder and the egg the Peres Duma is atoning for idol worship so here in this case when we were actually involved in the synagogue camp we actually perform both these sins so given my cycle ergometer Saddam in Baja Riga score it just I just said in that in the act of the sin of the golden calf we also transgressed murder that's why it says they get koalicka again that verse that says that the para duma should be taken to you Moses should be taken to Moses should gum our Mitzvah Zoo to carry our Mecca in order that the finishing of this Mitzvah of the para Duma should also be called on his name so not only from the very beginning throughout as we already mentioned now yeah I'm keen mr.wai this is going to because it says those who curse a Torah and we said it doesn't say who cosas para it says this is the statute of the Torah and it doesn't say this is the statute of the cow what do we hear that the Torah and the cow or one idea one idea not one thing God forbid right obviously not but we will see that both purifying so it's one concept both purify this is the goal of the Torah this is the goal of the para Duma Comeau hitori decree of Shamu show Moshe so - the Torah itself is called the Torah Moses as it says in Malathi that's Malachi for all those who don't understand a word I'm saying chapter 3 verse 22 remember keeping remembrance the teaching of Moses what is it says in Hebrew Toras Moshe it's we call it the Torah of Moses I'm sorry let me just read the whole verse my servant that's it keep in remembrance the teaching of Moses my servant the laws and ordinances which I command him commanded in the hearth for all of Israel just you should know in Hebrew Z Krew Tigers moisture of the I should say VTO tell the high rev our coach Ralph cooking ooh miss patty okay so to the parrot is also called right we already established that the power is called by his name and he wants to tell us the reason is the same the same for both of them the Tom's name Accardo that this is a little bit deep but we're going to do some numbers but it's real simple just remember the number seven and seven times seven so because Commission Shari been a Negro Boylan with 50 gates of wisdom or understanding that the world was created that's Hashem Hashem has all 50 all of them were handed over to Moses except for one not when I told him at the peridot boy we're talking about out of the 50 gates of wisdom Moses got 49 you could find this in Dharam 38 and hey if you want to see where it says it okay how do we know Moses was very wealthy right our leader should be wealthy but he he when he chipped away at these clubs sapphires special rocks that the Ten Commandments were written on God told him that he can keep the the chips can you just imagine the wealth that those chips forget about the sentimental value the actual value right sapphire stone of swords okay from which it was derived you can find pasola car right that's in Exodus chapter 34 1 the waste of the tablets of the Covenant shall be yours okay that's what it means and that the waste consisted of precious stones Moses was wise how do you know so Rushmore and the statement of robbing small who both say they both agree 50 measures of understanding we're creating the world all were given to Moses except one you could find in Psalms 86 yet you have deprived him of little of God meaning he basically had almost everything he lacked only the absolute complete knowledge of God Moses was humble okay so what does that mean he knew about the the Peres Duma because there's only certain little aspects of God he didn't have full comprehension that through the okay this is going to be a little bit of a tongue twister but we'll try best it's true the Mamet at mem tat is 49 shari bina she hissing hello' Mvula vobis o - M leaders rhetoric men that punim tower mem tetpon in my tummy that through the 49 levels of understanding that Moses was able to grasp he could then enter into the secrets of God in order to expound the Torah in 49 ways this way and 49 ways that way meaning anything that is considered permissible he could explain in meaning each detail he can explain the same detail 39 ways in a permissible fashion 49 ways in a forbidden fashion or a purified fashion or an impure fide fashion and anybody sitting on the Sanhedrin could actually do the same thing in order to get on the Sanhedrin they would put a sheriff's in front of you right the sheriff's I don't know what exactly type of animal but try to imagine it's either a rat or a weasel or somewhere in between okay something that is considered impure it's certainly not kosher and it actually in parts Touma guess what to sit on the Sanhedrin you would have to be able to explain 49 ways that this is a kosher animal or it doesn't impart impurity and 49 ways that it imparts an impurity now listen to these words it's in Mitchell a that's proverbs chapter 2 verse 4 this is talking about wisdom if you seek it like silver and hunt it like treasures okay team Tuvok Shanna kick ass if you desire it like silver now this word focus on the word you have to look at it inside you cannot moaning takashina what's the word cannot moaning okay and like mam tete like 49 moaning moaning means to count but it's plural like you count twice so 49 is seven times seven and you're gonna count it twice meaning you're gonna desire to understand the total on the level where you'll be able to explain everything in 49 ways to the side and 49 ways to the other side now if you think I'm making all this up listen to this so we see the word mony meaning twice tape on me mem tat ki they amuro's hashem tourism Zucco Shiva time so if you look in where it's gonna be at number fourteen there Psalms 12 verse 7 the sayings of the Lord are pure sayings in Hebrew Amaro's Hashem Amaro's to harus right delay the sayings of the Lord are pure sayings like silver refined in Hebrew kesef so Ruth and its Valeo laurits it's exposed to the earth Mizzou Kok Shiva time now Shiva time we know what it means it means Sevenfold Sevenfold means seven times seven which basically means 49 okay so the sayings of the Lord are pure sayings like silver refined exposed to the earth clarified forty-nine ways okay so ready Kanaan bar pop a patter Korea proportions para happens to be that Rebbe Hanan and the son of pop a he interpreted and he explained this idea between behind the the para Duma that there is in it seven times seven now if you look in I wanted to bring it down I'm sorry I didn't so I did didn't I 13:16 okay so looking for minbar ABBA number 16 this is the ordinance of the Torah and the sayings of God are pure when we come on Ben paws I loosened the verse of the Psalms Psalms I mention is 12 or 7 and then it says has seven seven sevens there are seven times seven there mentioned seven cows seven fires seven sprinkling seven washes seven times unclean is used seven times pure is used and seven condoms seven times priests are used now the truth is let me just read it in the Hebrew here it says like this there are she h-bomb yeshiva Ponemah Sheva find there seven times seven seven cals seven sprinklings seven burnings seven washings seven impurities seven times purities and then 7 times konima used but guess what I actually went and counted it before I read this and I came to the same conclusion that Gomorrah did that's not true five of them are seven times seven the other two are missing a few and it says fill in the names Aaron and Moshe wherever those those are missing and you will complete because they were basically the carne they basically complete the number two to full forty nine seven times seven and that's what the good more actually says okay so Amy Omar look hard on it someone would count them like I did and said hey they're missing you know you Satan even Moses and our included and that's the end of the gomorrah find a slit that they could you carefully examine not enough kuta ashland would miss preserve what comes out from this number what do we care what's the practical difference right or as we say now when irons ever around what does that have to do with the price of tea in China okay so our Chitauri show lava pollute when you actually care look at the verse carefully it says mizu should time it's clarified seven times seven so actually with absolute certainty the the author of this mesh wanted to give a good reason why it says in a different metric in a different measure should says Violeta Parra right the the it takes our verse they shall take to you Moses this para what does it mean look hardening makalah soul this is what God is telling Moses to you and you alone I'm going to reveal the secret but to others it will remain a Hulk it will remain a mystery the lawmen Nellas main called hi so why is it remain a mystery to everyone else the fee she a schwa miss Marsh LEM tat because since it has seven times seven were the 49 this hints that what Shane Lazar hey cool it sorry if Colleen Jana came are you they meant that Shari bina that the only way to understand it is if you is only if you were able to understand order or 49 levels and that was only revealed to my sure they know as the Torah said as we saw earlier that he received just short of 50 he received the full 49 Cain he laughed hariom hookah a few Lelouch Lomo that's why it remained a cloak to everybody including but not to Moshe I know you thought and I always thought even motion was included according to the CLIA car the way he understands it is that Moshe absolutely knew and the bow hawk ADA that writes in the book he brings a meddra Sh and he says you know the mother of slow-mo right slow-mo hemella King Solomon everyone knows what his mother's name is bat Sheva her name is bachi Sheva the daughter of seven now what does the mother do to the son she controls him she is the authority of the son so he goes out here you have to hang in there miss Cara that's what she's called she's called bat Sheva and he explains in this what is quite obvious which will perish MS em Masha parish I will tell you like this just as the mother has the authority controls the child so to the para this cow this red heifer is actually somehow controlled all of his wisdom all of King Solomon's wisdom because he wasn't able to he wasn't able to delve so deeply and understand the secrets right in other words it had control over him he desired it and couldn't get there it didn't that it was the opposite in other words he didn't have control over it it had control over him you follow because if you understand something you make a Kinyon you acquire it and it's yours but if it's beyond you then it rules you so basically he says this resolves the fact that it does not say who cut the Torah except in one other place I mentioned there's one other place you know where that is in in parshas Matos and that's dealing with what the purification process of of vessels that you take as schlau as booty in war remember they belong to non-jews they most likely were of course they were you they were vegetarians right they most likely had non kosher ingredients so in Hill cos Goulet kaeleen we may need that right you have to bring your vessels not only to purify them to make them kosher but they also have to go to the mikveh they have to be purified why Laetitia atera separa mcclellan enchilada torah via clara i they to Lumos Hockman shabbat this is going to be the crux of what we're going to be discussing from this point because the purification process of the para Duma is let's just say overreaching and all-inclusive and that is NIM shall Allah Torah Vic Lola it is either we call compared we're going to compare that to the tores ability to be overreaching in its all its ways through whatever is all the wisdom that's hidden in it just like all the wisdom is hidden in this para Duma the seven times seven so to the Torah has all this hidden wisdom in it and they both act as purifiers did you understand now we're going to begin to discuss about the purification process itself and how it works okay so for brevity's sake I'm going to now attempt just to use the English in other words you can follow in Hebrew as best you can I will only refer to the Hebrew if I get a little confused with a translation but now we're at the Peres Duma taneema meaning a perfectly red unblemished cow and this was compared to a child a son of a someone who cleans cleans up that that the child made a very disastrous dirty area in the house of the king in the palace so what we've already said was that the mother comes to clean up the feces of her son you've heard this already why listen to these ideas that if anybody ever wants to get rid of the cancer anybody wants to get rid of a bad growth something that is destructive so it's not enough just to cut off the branches of a tree you would let's talk about a cancerous tree right you want to just cut off the diseased branches that's not going to help the tree survive because the whole time that it's still in the ground the the main brick the main we call trunk so close much about our it's your mood Giz oh there's this idea that it's not gonna really get rid of the disease because it's it's in rooted with like this cow and these are different types of diseases on trees that he mentions because in the end it's just gonna grow back the way to get rid of this disease trees to get rid of its main trunk and the roots okay but to get rid of the roots if you actually get rid of the roots then the bad branches as well come away so in other words this what you're trying to do is get rid of the cancer by cutting the branches here ain't going to do nothing okay it's not gonna work you want to get rid of the cancer you got to get rid of the actual tree itself you have to uproot it and then as a result the branches will also come the diseased branches will also be taken care of looking in almost you'll find this and the number 18 almost chapter 2 verse 9 right and I destroyed the average from before them whose height is as the height of the cedar trees and there are as strong as Oaks and I destroyed his fruits from above and his roots from below you want to get rid of the cancer you got to go into the roots down below so basically it's like this it's not enough to get rid of the fruit from above but you got to get into the roots but that's why it says in mo it cutting let's find it you'll find it in Moab cotton that's number 23 that if you want to get rid of idol worship you need to get into the root meaning to say you need to investigate and find out the actual reason for the cause of the idol worship because it's actually the cause itself that is that is deep in the roots that caused it that's causing all those bad fruits right so once you get rid of the original the root cause then all the fruits all the the resultant will fall to the wayside so you want to get rid of a disease you gotta go for the cause not just treat the symptoms so the real cause is compared to the mother that gave birth to the the child which in our case we're talking about the para Duma is the mother as opposed to the the golden calf the golden calf is not the root okay what's the real root the mother which is the para Duma now I have to tell you and you guys have heard this before I was new in Israel and I heard there was a candidate for a para Duma a para Duma has to have all red hair and has to be less than two years old anyway so what happened was I went up to - I went on a field trip I brought my kids we went all the way to cure Dada and there was a fenced area and on top of the hill was a was this young calf that they told us we could not gonna go around and we're not going to touch it who's guarded was a para Duma and it was late in the afternoon and the Sun was reflecting off this red cow it was red meaning it was it was a brownish red but the way the Sun was hitting the hair I'm telling you it was like gold it was so red flashy red and it was like gold so this is the idea here that what it's all going to be related to gold gold is right let's say too much wealth is going to be the source of the downfall I know that there's a lot of wealthy Jews Braja Shem but it's what you do with it okay if you're using it to serve God if you're using it just to help people you're using it for missus okay and you're donating the money whatever it is of course you can live a good life but if you're using it for good and not for bad that's very important so basically listen to these words that's why God commanded what the burning of the para Duma right you burn it and it becomes what like blackish ash what you're burning the mother of the AYGO you're burning the para which is the mother of the calf in order to what to teach you this important law that you must uproot the idol worship meaning you have to go after the root and then you won't fall back into the foolishness and that's why it says in parshas ki Tisa so over there in ki Tisa which is where the golden calf takes place and the thomas that it's explained over there the main reason was because of all the gold we brought with us out of Egypt it had such right God had such love and providence and prosperity gave to us but guess what at the same time that was our downfall right God constantly warns us don't forget you're gonna be prosperous and you god forbid you forget you have to constantly remember look in tom with bobbly 32a why does it say these AHA that's talking about one of the the places that the Jews were in the desert so the sages of the school rubbie on I'd said that Moses said the following can you imagine Moses says this to God regarding atoning for Israel after the sin of the golden calf he says master of the universe because of the gold and silver that you lavished upon Israel during the exodus from Egypt until they said die enough in other words it's a play on the words these I have enough gold it was with this wealth that caused Israel to make the golden calf so Moses in our defense was trying to say that if we didn't have all that gold it probably never would have happened partially God you should take some responsibility for the Jews fall because they had all this wealth okay so basically what are you doing when you're burning it look what is gold since the gold is a dumb hot dome how's that it's very red the the gold has a reddish tinge and and and it's brought about right they came to do this action with the Golden Calf therefore you're gonna take this para Duma the red heifer and burn it and get rid of the color red by burning it there's no longer any red ok maybe through forensic science they can discover what the original color was but in most cases when you look at ash you have no remnants of the original color and the SOB though your belly mode in other words there was almost like a promise or warning don't acquire too much of this thing called gold well oh you've only de maiz is because then then you won't come to making a golden calf again or hopefully not doing anymore idol worship ever again this idea is very deep and we're going to really look and examine this whole idea behind the the golden calf because it itself it's the golden calf that caused death to come into the world now I know this is what we all hear that when we accepted the Ten Commandments on sure who is the Jewish people were going to live forever we made a tea code on the the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve in other words the sin that caused us to die and the recruit Lee the the tikkun of accepting the Ten Commandments meaning the whole Torah was a t-con for what we call death do you remember we were in have run and we talked about this the four types of death we're going to talk about one of them right now so basically it's like this that the way he's going to describe it is no you always thought that death came back into the world once we sinned with the Golden Calf it's true but not true what really took place we were still great we were never going to live forever when we accepted the Ten Commandments and accepted the Torah the only difference about death was we were never going to die through the angel of death the angel of death was not going to pull our souls out of our bodies to kill us but rather the kiss of death which is the highest level have wrong it's the highest level it's like pulling a hair out of a cup of water okay it's when God breathed into us life and he would remove that life with his own lips so to speak so now let's hear his words that the angle the sin of the golden calf is what caused the impurity of death not death itself but the impurity of death why because at Matins hora at the revelation Israel became free through the blue coat which is a little bit of plan words root K root alhelou coat it literally is a plan words because the word to engrave on the tablets those same words with the different values ation means that we became free through the tablets it means yes the engraving on the tablets is what caused us to become free through the torah meaning free from what free from the angel of death not from death itself but for the Angel of Death and it's only the death that's caused by the Angel of Death that brings impurity into the world in other words we have a we have a tradition a completely righteous person who dies he didn't die through the Angel of Death and therefore there's no tumor that's why it's a mock locusts but many people believe and hold that in the MRSA mock Paylor where Abraham Isaac and Jacob and Adam and their wives are buried cloning can go in priests go in and do the blessing Rebbe mayor Balinese people go in and do the blessing there's so many other kaveri the the cemeteries that have only 2d game there's an opinion that what the corneum can go in there okay and it's widely held don't think it's so strange now in a parish I hate the converted to the bottom of the gun don't think as most people do that the idea the intent was there was no death at all but rather the idea is there's freedom from this which we talk about the MAL accommodates the Angel of Death that you wouldn't die except through the Nishita the only type of death with for all righteous is through the kiss of death through Hashem the mouth of God and then when he does that to us that kiss there is no tumor you cannot expect that kiss of death to carry any tula impurity that the main point of the IKAR Touma the main point of that impurity of the dead is only coming through the maha mob is it's only coming through the angel of death which is coming from the dark side the other side but those who die through the near sheikah through the kiss they don't have any impurity and in fact the day that Rebbe the Rebbe Udonis he died you'll find this in new Shami in Braavos that it says that the on that day the Kahuna the coin shouldn't worry about Tula that they should be involved in going to the funeral he long on sham Tula there was no tomb on the day that Rebbe hood had died therefore they permitted even the co name to involve themselves in his funeral so it comes out you know what comes after this that when we receive the Torah we became free from the angel of death and there was no tumor there was no impurity but guess what when we resorted to making the Golden Calf then it returned and we became ruined and guess what had authority over us the Angel of Death if that's the case it's the angle itself that causes the tumor summation means that is the agel is what makes the mess therefore comes the mother which is the the Peres Duma which is the red heifer and cleans up the feces of her son in order to remove the tumor right mahasaya to Maya de ather hapara and in order to remove the tumor it's gonna come through the the ashes of the para and he concludes at this point this is a very dear explanation but we're not finished yet I implore you to stick in there we're now going to verse 3 it's kind of short and then we're going to go to verse 21 which is a little bit long but III tell you that it's very good stuff so verse 3 says on the top tam o saw Eleazar and that they should give it over to Eleazar so you find this in where and number 21 and numbers 19 three and you shall give it to Eleazar the coin now the question is why not I wrong it was not through our own but it was through his son and why because Aaron was involved as being part of the reason for the golden calf we find that Moses prayed that Eleazar he preached Eleazar had arranged in a parish in the whole south we saw that Moses prayed that this person is rabbi Eleazar when the future would be the one who brought forth this law to the world he wanted him to come from his his loins so here it says also Eleazar I know eleazar and eleazar not the same but doesn't matter that we hear from here that this hints to the idea of when remember when Moses named eleazar eleazar because it means that God is my helper what does it mean now this is going to go into what the answer about the paradigm is it's only through God that we can find this purity in other words this whole idea of the impurity impurity is nothing physical it's purely metaphysical it's only through shann that we can find the purity as it says listen to ezekiel 36 verse 25 and I God speaking I will sprinkle clean water upon you and you will be clean the Zaraki alaikum I am to hurry right if it had not been for the help of God bless me he you would never have Lala Salama tar azul Avadh this could not have happened on our own there's no way we can create this purity it's only with the help of God and now we understand what it says that a para Duma there is going to be a two-year old cow meaning above the year and the Aguilar Ruffa is less than a year what comes out from this what do we understand that the original region reason is greater Papa my peach dying but then the product and the resultant therefore and biota Turkey Adams a ruse I'll hazard to see but that's why a person has to work very hard to uproot the reason the reason is going to be much harder to get rid of than the resultant and that's why the Peres Duma is twice twice as strong in terms of its power and in age so the age is giving you this idea now he asked the question he answers it really why do you have the sprinkling on the third day and on the seventh day and the reason is because we find and I believe this is in MO a cuttin it talks about with me mourn the first three days are the worst the most difficult that's when there's really crying going on and then there's eulogy going on for seven days and then there's a thirty day period and then there's a whole year it's constantly going and minimizing so when we're mourning until a year is finished it's still on our minds and it starts with a great loss and we can't think but the pain we feel and but as time goes on it becomes diminished and diminished and that's why there's a comparison to mourning in the sprinkling because there's a diminishing the third day and the seventh day since Touma is myth my ethic of a lack at the tomb itself is diminishing behold they say in my cuttin through three days are for crying seven days or four eulogizing that's why the sprinkling is during these two times let's go to verse 21 now this verse 21 is speaking about number 24 in the in this or she this shall be for them as a perpetual statute the one who sprinkles the sprinkles water shall washes clothes in other words what we're learning here is the person this the paradox the person who's clean and picks up the ashes and uses them to sprinkle someone else becomes impure himself do you understand what's going on here this is very unusual why is it that the person who was pure picks up these ashes in order to purify someone else becomes impure themselves so many of them forcing them going out to try to explain it and he claims they never found a reasonable explanation for why that the power is Mohammed ah Haris to main why the Parra cleans or cleanses from impurity those who are pure while at the same time is to timaya to whoring while at the same time it is causing impurity for those who are pure so he asked you to lean over and your ear and listen well that we find then this gets a little complicated when it comes to food called OCO the food is not fit for receiving Touma unless or until water falls on it the truth is there's seven liquids but he's focusing on water when that water falls on the food then it becomes a receptacle it becomes like activated in order to receive to man it's still not tum a but it's only the water that activates the food remember these are foodstuffs that you would bring to Kohinoor lady and they can't be in state certain states let's say the Kohen can't be in certain states of impurity when they read when they eat this food so it's a problem so if you have impure food number one it can't be given over to the coin so the question he poses is how is it possible which is water water is what makes the mikveh what is what purifies things water is what cleanses things and yet it is going to be the source listen to this F sure how my omission tohara how is it that this water is going to cause someone who's clean to become unclean so he says this is how to explain that this is through nature it's a natural result now the way he explains it I thought about homeopathy but let's put that aside because that has been basically proven to be untrue but perhaps there's a little bit of truth in it so this is something we call nature that anything that is not any everything is always activated through that something that is opposite it now the thing that I think that comes to mind is a man and his wife I don't believe that a man can reach his full potential unless he has his opposite his helpmate opposite him that's what I believe and I think this will prove it but let's think more theoretical and metaphysically anything or everything is only activated by its opposite that we don't find this true by its own type if it's his own type it's not going to help him like the way the Yates ihara the evil inclination provokes this is going to be hard to swallow everybody but we all know it's probably true that the Yates are out the evil inclination is more powerful in a Jew than a non Jew it has more power it provokes more B Israel than the non-jews and guess who's worse guess who has the worst yet Sahara Tommy day haha mean ok do I have a Gomorrah circus 52 a you could just look at the last line there and Sutton elder came and taught him anyone who's greater than his other ah you know what I want to read the story so basically it's an amazing story Abhaya once overheard a certain man say to certain women that he didn't know they were brother and sister he didn't know that he so he's he thought that they were gonna do something unseemly so they said let us rise early and go on the road upon hearing this abaya said to himself well I'm gonna go and all of them basically and prevent them and like if I ever see them start to do something hold hands kissing I'll jump in and say ho you know I'll save them from sin he went after them he kept a distance okay and then when they were leaving each other now they didn't do anything wrong in the hallway and they were taking leave from each other and he heard them say oh we went far enough we had Pleasant company so abaya said in that situation if instead of that man it had been I in other words he was attracted let's say to the woman or he knew he wouldn't be able to trust himself this man whether it was the sister brother relationship or just total strangers because Euclid is an issue that's why I mentioned brother-sister relationship being alone in a forest could be a problem but anyway so let's say they think they were unseemly they didn't do anything wrong so what happened he what did he say about himself he said that if he was there he would not have been able to restrain himself he would have fallen for the girl and sinned so he went and he leaned against his doorpost feeling regret and at the same time the certain elder came and taught him anyone who's greater than the other his evil inclination is even greater than his meaning they might not have had a problem but you would have been you might have had a big problem if you went and we understand now why a a Jew has more you know commands okay we're not gonna go into that we'll save that for another Shir but apparently we're talking about the ability let's say when you're once you're commanded I think everyone understands this point when you're commanded to do something there's more resistance to do it right you're on the way out to take the garbage and your wife says oh can you take the garbage so when it was your own idea and we've read like right it's brought this up the other night it's your own idea everything's fine but once your wife asks you to do it then all of a sudden is this built-in hesitation maybe I won't write and this leads us back to the original thought that it's the opposite that activates you that's why the time can be so great that's why the Jewish people can be so great because when you have the opposition that is what causes the grayness the fee should Coulomb have with him though it's only when you have the opposite therefore Rosalita bear lamb if you want the to overcome it you you're obligated to overcome it now this is the reason that should some oak loudly Yatta Yatta that's why it's always darkest before the dawn have you ever heard that expression its darkest before the dawn because as the dawn is about to come that is a transition towards light and yet right before that moment of dawn it's the darkest the same concept here he called over a myth mitzpah l me half the doctor because everything is going to be activated from its opposite that's why all food or seeds is only activated to become tummy and to make in it some type of impression until actually of all our Mayan right there's no impression until the water which we already said is the source of all purity it's actually going to come now this is still gonna be a problem because why should the water be the one then actually ever love my am Jacqueline Sahara as tumor wrote settle and not say Katara the tumor is going to that's why once you have the water which is pure which is represents purity comes on that's when the tool is activated and wants to overpower the purity and it will overpower it and then make its roshan just like so to like going into the mikveh or the purification waters in this case by the sprinkling it has what it really has water in them which we said is all pure but guess what there's also a little bit of the ashes of the para and that is all impure and they're mixed together therefore if the purification waters are thrown on a man who's impure so then ain't ours ain't no myth myth po l Minnie offer the person is not being activated meaning the purity of the person is not be coming from the ashes side because the ashes is basically what he is its bitumen its mammy no it's the same type it's not water it's impure he's in pure the actions come from impurity but if he is but what but if but how is it the purification activated it's coming from the water side which is opposite but he is so he's impure it's the water side because what he who Tommy he is Tommy but the water is pure therefore the water is Pauline bow therefore the water is the active ingredient and it's not something a tuma it's gonna overtake the impurity but a man who's already pure who's basically carrying right we already spoke about the person who's pure who is going to sprinkle or carry the purification waters so he's going to become Tommy right so it's he's not being activated from the water part because that's gonna be from the same men meaning the same type he's pure and the water is pure both of them are pure but what's activating him he's going to be activated from the the ashes part because of the opposite of him because they're impure therefore he is pure but the the ashes are impure therefore the ashes are activating within him and making him the impression for impurity now if you're gonna ask what's if that's the case what do I need the ashes just use pure water and then there's no problem of anybody ever having a problem oh ok one second I still have somebody here and let's just use pure water right let's just use pure water without any ashes so the answer is you actually need there is a need to sprinkle the actions on the person because you're not able to purify the person until it's known the source of the tumor in other words part of the educational process of part of the education process of causing the purity and to least a de l'histoire Seba because we have to go back to the original idea of removing the reason meaning yeah her a la Hache starve a show bro emo when you have a document of death you know what needs to accompany the document of death that receipt that it was paid otherwise you're gonna be stuck paying the bill before is that caja mayan and because of this mixture they remember we asked the question why don't you just use water therefore you have this mixture on account of this mixture you have the power of the water that's coming to make known that right that it's going to become for purity shaming that scream mock or attuma that it's coming to overpower the source of the tumor now from the aspect of a hint he feels this is the place to say and by what the bow logic ada explains regarding this is what it all comes down to this is the lesson it's going to teach us about doing truth about repentance so if you were confused up until now this is where things will become clearer that it's all about repentance as explained in the book of the akkada and he's going to now explain it that there's a concept called healing of the soul is just like healing of the body so we only know from our you know science and medicine how to heal a body but how do you here heal the soul so basically you know that if someone is sick they say that your your tastebuds are off right what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter right you don't really feel the the norm then like normal human being when you're sick but guess what the medicine that you prescribe for a sick person can actually help the person whereas if a healthy person took that same medicine it could or might cause damage keya Mashka Hamoui with Rufus Adam kala mazak Laden buried so what is normally given to an unhealthy person physically will will help him but it could do damage to a healthy healthy person as I'll tell us in more Thainess have page 11 B I'll just tell you outside basically if someone sins and they want to repent it could be a good idea to fast but someone who's a yeshiva bocher someone who's a Torah scholar in the Academy if he fasts on these days that everyone else is fasting guess what could happen he's not going to be learning Torah properly it's actually going to it's actually going to cause more damage to him and to the world so the the actual phrase is the reflation said the student of the Torah Academy who sits in observance of a fast has let a dog eat his portion in other words his fast weakens him and prevents him from studying it's considered as though dog ate his meal and the student arrived no benefit from it so what do we see that if we're calling him a healthy person spiritually if he goes about doing something like this it actually has a ruin ruination a detriment okay so what do we see all right Ben I basically said it fine so this is what cause I'll tell us in Yuma 50 I'm sorry 86 be this is good more Yuma 86 being which says like this hey t da a beluga tell us what exactly is the what what is someone who repented who's considered about you of a master of return when he comes to the exact same situation and he doesn't act on it he separates himself from it he did sends in the past within a certain with a certain woman in a certain place with a certain desire and in this case he doesn't do it comes reviewed and he clarifies that exactly that same time with the same woman in the same place fine because the source the macomb sorry the place of the sin the Shasha Bravo and the gate that he passed meaning all the desires and all the details sorry Shoshanna - yeah guató that's where he needs to strengthen himself to go against his evil inclination that he already tasted there in that place that sin and he he seeks to remedy this by learning from his his actions and not do it again listen to Hosea chapter 2 verse 1 that chapter 2 verse 1 listen to the listen to the words and the number of the children of Israel should be as the sand of the sea which shall neither be measured nor counted now this is the important part and I've so come to pass in that place it really means he it should come in that place we will see the Hebrew that instead of saying them you are not my people meaning this is because we were sinning you were not my people but now in that place rather it's gonna be said to them you are the children of the Living God so let me explain that it's specifically the place of sin that's where we are considered not his people okay but in the place where there's chuva where repentance takes place that's where we are called the children of the Living God now some will say that the intent of the you can find in Bracco's 34b there's a very interesting Gomorrah that says the very place that balli true the people who were sinners and repented stand the tsadikim gomorian that people are completely righteous are not able to stand there it's very interesting because the word muhkam is used the same idea the place that since about Chava needs to stand in the place how do you know you're about Yuva how do you know that you actually accomplish this repentance because you're standing in the very place that you originally sinned where you were alone with that woman and you would do what you sinned in but you're not gonna sin again but that what's the difference Saudi gum or the person who never sinned at all he would actually be forbidden to be in that position so this sounds very strange and I spoke to many rabbis about this this is what the clea car saying that apparently even though a man is not allowed to be with a woman who's not his wife alone in a room right so the site Agora would never be there in the first place he wouldn't be there in the second place but apparently the bout truble who was there in the first place I'm not gonna say I have a hard time saying it may-maybe it means he may find himself accidentally but it sounds like he may even be in that same situation in order to overcome it's a real stretch we'll leave it for a further discussion but that is what he's saying chaos or Lahab in a few minutes a young because the sadiq would be forbidden to bring himself to such a nice Ione such a trial but about shuva seems to be permissible it comes out she ye could honey at some Trula the Euclid just being alone again a second time is proof that he did true ver so therefore what are we saying the same principle we said all along Mitama to hurry this being alone will pure will purify those I'm sorry will make Tom a impure those who are pure such as the sight of gum or whereas it will make pure those who are tummy which would be the bow Shula okay I believe this is the final stretch yes okay so to every bout true ver needs to do what how do you become about chuhwa you have to go to the other extreme eventually to find your middle if you're a sinner the way to find the middle path because the truth is it's the middle path that you seek so what you need to do is to go to one extreme from the away from what you sinned with in order to find the middle path so to like a craftsman now I'm not a min ago yeah I'm not a what's in the GAR yeah a carpenter I'm not a carpenter but a craftsman that wants to make straight a piece of wood that's a little twisted he needs to bend it in the other direction right and then eventually I could just imagine I've used my imagination for this eventually then it would be straight so to a completely righteous person but a completely righteous person he's not able to follow this way because he was never bent to begin with he always needs to go constantly in the middle path so there's a verse in Ecclesiastes Ecclesiastes is coelus where it says I'll teat Siddiq are bei of tearsa har Bay the truth is I want to look at the whole verse over here don't be overly righteous don't be overly wise why should you bring desolation upon yourself be not overly wicked be not a fool why should you die before your time what King Solomon is saying is you got to find the middle road you want to be at Sadiq gonna be righteous don't be too much this way don't be be too much that way find the middle path this is the this is the golden rule the golden means so to some say that this is hinted to now there's an interesting idea when you in this in the para Duma you take and I believe this is the 1960 1962 go the Cohen is gonna take cedar wood cedar with a cedar Cedars one of the largest strongest trees and the hyssop which is a very lowly Bush and he's gonna dip it into the the ashes into the water and he's going to use that to sprinkle why these two extremes one is the cedar wood which is the biggest strongest of trees and the the hyssop which is a live Airy lowly bush and very weak Bush and you're going to put them into the strength of separa you're gonna put that into the burning of the cow meaning what you're burning the extremes you're getting rid of the extremes that's the goal meaning even for that even for the bow Shula who has to in one sense went from one extreme go to the other extreme but the goal is the middle that Sadiq has to stay always in the middle for the goals in the middle why to remind yourself not to raise yourself up like a cedar tree and not to lower yourself too much like the hyssop therefore the para Duma which is going to make impure those who are pure in order to teach in order that everyone should learn from this that this whole idea of doing repentance there are several concepts of as we just spoke about of the metalia meta harem care cot whether you were impure or pure to start with it does the opposite alright relax the same way the shenoy bone meets anima cobbling camera that any change is coming from you me and there's a very deep concept well we'll discuss this on further but we discussed this before a blessing and a curse the blessed there's nothing the evil that emanates from God think about this Aaron listen to this there's a Sun in the sky and it has heat and right there's rays of light and there's heat emanating from the Sun when you have wax which is hard but the Sun is hitting it it becomes soft if you have an egg which is soft tell them at the inside the Sun hits the egg it could I'm talking about in a lot in August okay you put it on the sand I don't know how long out of its three minutes or twenty minutes or two hours there will be a hard-boiled egg so it's the Sun which represents the the concept of God is emanating okay it's niqab limits us we're on the receiving side what is our attitudes how are we perceiving things so in the future when god bestows blessings and curse it says that he will remove the sheet from the sun and it will be a blessing it will be healing to those who are righteous and it will burn those who are evil how is that possible it's the same Sun the same heat that's affecting two different people in two different ways it's called the cobbler the one on the receiving side so this is what it comes down to why is it that over here the one who is impure becomes pure the one who is pure becomes impure because it's on the receiving side and I just want to leave it at that this is very deep we have to meditate on it we have to go over and over and over this there were a lot of deep ideas we share tonight and I hope this is life-changing because listen we all want to do Trouville properly we all want to live a righteous life style and hopefully this will give us some insight into the beauty of the Torah so we can learn more and become even more righteous so with that shabbat shalom and have a great life [Music]
