Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Message to the World

[Music] okay welcome home to torah welcome to the evening midrash and a very very warm welcome i want to introduce this bombshell class for all those jews listening you should understand the richness of our heritage and the importance of keeping the torah and for all those we know there are non-jews listening to don't take it personally that's all i can tell you as an introduction and before we start i i came across a uh an interesting article from the begin sadat center for strategic studies that actually says that the arab countries say we miss the jews right they kicked us out yeah here you don't believe me they kicked us out what over the last 70 years in several groupings and you know what what they're going to say is what the donkey was saying to billup you're an idiot you want to wipe out the jews it's going to hurt you okay this is a very interesting article okay and um i can suggest you can read it you go to uh i guess you put into google the begin sadat center for strategic studies i think it's called besa it's perspectives dr eddie cohen and it was published january 22nd 2020 and uh basically having persecuted and purged the jews as punishment for the rebirth of israel many arabs now realize they shot themselves in the foot okay so as i mentioned what we're going to talk about tonight is the message that the donkey is trying to convey however well it can communicate to bilum what is the truth what is up okay or what is what is the message he needs to absorb for himself and we'll start in numbers chapter 22 and i just want you to become familiar with the text verses 23 through 26 we're also going to read 27-28 but i want you to hang in there be a little bit of patience with those two verses so it says the she donkey saw the angel of the lord stationed on the road with his sword drawn in his hand got it the donkey is the one who perceived the angel apparently bilum did not interesting we'll see arashi on that so the she donkey turned aside from the road and went into a field keep in mind the words she went into the field bilaam beat the she donkey to get it back on the road so that's the first time he hits the donkey the next verse the angel of the lord stood in a path of the vineyards with a fence on this side and a fence on that side so keep in mind that now there's the angel standing in the path of the vineyard and there's a fence on this side and that side the next verse the she donkey saw the age of the lord and she pressed against the wall she pressed bilum's leg against the wall and he beat her again second time he hits her or beats her and where is she going to go from there the angel of the lord continued going ahead and he stood in the narrow place where there was no room to turn right or left so what she can do is go forward or stay there but she couldn't go left or right or right or left let's look at rashi real quick and you know what let me just tell you over the hebrew because it's very important to become familiar with the sound when we said that the donkey was turning aside from the road and went into a field so the hebrew is it went off into the field and then when it went um when the angel stood in the path of the vineyards it says very important words to hear the in the path of the vineyards and there was a fence on either side and then the other hebrew that i want you to become familiar with is and he stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn right or left avoid mode but the word sorry means a very narrow place a sharing derek there was no place to turn left or right so let's look at rashi a second first of all why did billum not see the angel it was only according to the text it was the donkey that perceived the angel you know why dylan couldn't see the angel because god does not allow man to see angels or that for that matter much demons listen to what rashi says but bilal did not see for god permitted the beast to perceive more than a man since he being man possesses intelligence he would become insane if he saw demons if we there are demons all around us there are angels there there are spiritual forces right now in our room that we're in right everywhere we go okay but if we perceive them we would go insane correct our own we cannot sleep we wouldn't be able to sleep exactly okay so the truth is even the word gemara is the acronym for right gimmo mem alef gabriel michael raphael and oreo so really and truthfully when we're learning we are surrounded by angels okay and the next thing i wanted to show you was near the bottom of the rashi this is interesting because we're going to see this madrish or this part of the medrash and it's going to either seemingly contradict another measures that we're going to study tonight or as we would like to do is put them together and understand them they're not really contradicting each other so the very bottom line here it says the major should god in midgest and human number eight said what made him stop in three places right we have these three places we'll call him simone the angel showed him billam symbols alluding to the patriarchs that's abraham isaac and jacob correct somehow these are symbolic these places going into the field the path of the vineyards and the narrow place where there's no room to turn right or left how do they symbolize abraham isaac and jacob so we'll have to examine that okay with that being said i might as well should we no let's go into the text so if you all turn to the page let's make sure i'm on the right page yeah here we go it's a tough race mem darling and it is like uh almost halfway down where it says cuff gimmel verse 23. so right away we have a tata ton mina derek that the she donkey turned aside from the road and and she went into the field so the midgesh timehuman number eight says as we just quoted in rashi simoni avos haralo these are symbols of the forefathers of the patriarchs he was shown to him and now the measures are going to describe what they were when it says the tale that she went into the field it's a makham rakhav it's a wide open space that's what a field is now what what's the message if you want reuben want to curse the seat of abraham you're going to end up cursing who else is correct avraham had besides a jewish who called for sake of uh better terms we'll call isaac jewish right we know he was he was an israelite okay he was from a seat of abraham so he is he has a brother right half brother and his name is ishmael so if you're going to try to curse the seat of avraham you're going to end up not only cursing ishmael but also the six other the six other sons from katora which is basically hagar also and not only that if you immediately also yitzcak if you want to curse the seed of isaac you're going to end up what cursing asov as well right because you're going to find yourself as a ghetto means in a tight space where there's a fence on each side but you think he could just uh curse yaakov and not asav is going to end up cursing asav as well but what do we think about yaakov he himself he had a perfect bed all 12 children that he gave birth to right were perfect standing in a tight place what's that tight place where you couldn't turn left or right that's going to represent yaakov ain't derek lentos you mean small okay this is not so easy to understand but keep in mind at this point we're just describing the medrash that describes how the simone is representative of the patriarchs but right away the clear car is going to quote later on it says i should be now we're going to let's read it this is a number two on the source sheet this is numbers 22 verses 27 and 28. so the she donkey saw the angel of the lord and the crouched down under billam billum's anger flared and he beat the she-donkey with the stick this is the third time that he hit it with the stick the lord opened the mouth of the she donkey and she said to bilum what have i done to you that you have struck me these three times look at the the hebrew just to become familiar it says shalosh regalim you hit me these three times so anybody that knows hebrew it's true that regalim is a reference to time there's no question but you would have used a more common word such as parame but it didn't say it didn't say three times it says three where do we know the when did we ever hear those words shaloshra baleem always in reference to the hagin meaning the festivals so let's look at rashi right away rashi says these three times he hinted to him what do you want to do this is the donkey talking to billam you want to uproot a nation that establishes a sorry that celebrates three festivals in the year and this is the next measures by the way the middle standpoint number nine so what are we dealing with here we're dealing with two different midrashim that maybe you know what maybe i already answered maybe it's the the angel speaking about the the patriarchs and it was the donkey speaking about the but either way we're going to investigate these two mid-rushing that seem seemingly are either going in totally different directions or contradicting each other on some level that there's no contradiction whatsoever okay let's go back into the clear card just for those who are new i want to mention that we use a lot of text here and i do my best to translate and to explain as we go along you could find these texts by the way if you go i'm going to just point down below in the um in the youtube description box there's a link you just have to find which book you're looking for whether it's genesis x's leviticus numbers of deuteronomy and the parsha and figure out which year and you can find the source sheets and i suggest you use them this way you can learn hebrew like all the rest of the people that are here in this class and enjoying the class because they're actually learning hebrew at the same time right okay okay so let's go to that next paragraph um rashi from the very fact that rashi writes zesha los regalim know you struck me these three times what was the message as i have on the english source sheet which we just read basically you want to uproot this nation we're talking about the nation the jewish nation that celebrates three times a year what do we hear from this what does this infer hey can they get shalosh that those three places that we just described in this text where either the angel stood or there was a response from the the donkey in some way in communicating through a physical movement that what they are parallel to the three festivals this is crazy how does the donkey the donkey knows what's going on it's communicating something to billam that he should get what over it that he should not curse the jewish people because why if you curse the jewish people you're hurting yourself how did we start for those who might have missed the first two minutes there's a article i quoted how from the uh the besa the megan sadat center for strategic studies how the arab countries are shooting themselves in the foot they realize what a mistake it was it was not it was bitter for us thank god they're home and i invite while i'm here all the jews who are watching this no matter where you are in the world now's the time to come home but you realize they kicked us out these arab nations kicked us out and they said what a mistake we miss the jews anybody wants to read it i'll pass this around okay don't miss the show while you're reading it okay so the cleo car wants to start with sukkos umatril means that's where the new year begins by the way i know there's a lot of confusion i mentioned this in the past there are messianics there's people that just are not familiar or they want to make invent their own religions but basically i have met people that say chaval you jews have it all wrong you celebrate rosh hashanah the seventh month and the new years really it says in the torah that nissan is the first month to you well i have news for you i have news for you look at exodus 23 verse 16. number four in the source sheet and the festival of the harvest this is talking about shavuot that's when the actual harvest takes place the first fruits of your labors which you will sow in the field that's the the the the produce is left to dry during the summer and then when you gather it in the festival the game gathering at the departure of the year departure of the year is going to happen in the seventh month right that's the transition from the end of the year to the beginning of the year when you gather in the products of your labors from the field so the hebrew that we're looking at is bias when you're gathering your work you're gathering in the products of your labor just look at the the rashi that i underlined that is the festival sukkot for during the entire summer the grain dries out in the fields and on the festival of sukkot they gather into the house because of the rains they're about to fall so when is the new year when the the old year ends and when is that forgot the two key words in the puzzle okay that's not really relevant to this year that was only relevant to the point yes thank you thank you um but okay so basically where we're at is back in the clear car here we go thank you so when it says right that the the the she donkey went off the path and went over to the field what was the message being conveyed you want to uproot the nation that what that celebrates the festival of sukkot that the celebrates the festival with the in gathering of the of the produce that's dependent on the field ubo and on it on the festival of sukkos what happens is going to be an offering by the jewish people of seven bulls aaron this answers your question why it doesn't say parrot it says and i have the texture as well we're not talking about female cows we're talking about male bulls okay and what happens as a result if you uproot this nation that celebrates sukkot meaning that they are going to bring the 70 offerings the 70 bulls for the nations of the world it's going to kill you you will suffer you're going to suffer why anybody want to take a guess for a lot of reasons not just one right that this health helps exp8 and the copper atone for sin but the main reason is going to be because we're judged for rain during sukkot and those we'll see it later in zachariah 14 hashem there's a lot to talk about this gomorrah but i'm going to pass through it right now and we'll get to it later but basically that if you stop the jews from keeping right keeping sukkot and offering these karbanos you will suffer as we'll see in sahara 14 where the leaders of the nations will come and offer up and practice or observe sukkot okay so basically the line says you can't be too long if you're going to create a situation where the jews are no longer observing sukkot garen beethoven you're basically causing a destruction on the whole world okay then afterwards where did we come to to the pads in the vineyard and this is going to represent the festival of pesach what what does pesach represent the time that we left egypt okay as it says if you look in psalms chapter verse 9 you'll find that and number 6 you uprooted a vine from egypt you drove out nations and planted it okay so not only is the vine which is the jewish people removed from egypt and traveled to the new place but in the new place you're going to throw out the nations and plant us in their place that's what that verse is referring to so this hints to what we said that since what is normally done and what makes logical sense is that what you normally do is you get rid of the weeds before you plant the good stuff in this case the the vineyard so what is the donkey or what is the angel through the donkey conveying why are you switching the process what do you want to do get rid of the gathering you want to get rid of the jews and on account of the weeds okay so like i said please any non-jews listening to this don't take it so personally especially if you're a righteous gentile you know you have a place in the world to come you can even become a righteous gentile egyptoshov and misrat hashem one day live here among live in a jewish community or live here in israel anyway the way the geffen works near pass burglary how what what do you produce from grapes you produce wine and how is wine produced okay today they have machinery they have all kinds of presses but back in the day and perhaps even some what do you call boutique boutique wineries you know they wash their feet first or maybe they wear you know nylon socks i don't know anyway they would use their feet to stamp the grapes well so what happens in the end this is just a little bit of a poetic nature what happens to the end is that the wine itself causes the downfall of the one who trampled on it when he drinks it right you know the idea of getting drunk and then you basically fall down right just like it mentions in the medrash also in the name of the measure shock and there's many many comparisons about israel to a geffen okay so we don't have to go to the mall and we're not going to the coulomb but all those ideas in the medrash expresses an idea to get rid of this mistaken idea that bilum had and here we're talking about the hinting to the pesach now listen this is going to be very strange for those who are not familiar those who are we drink four cups of wine on pesach those four cups of wine are symbolic of many things okay so let's read the words chabot we're drinking four cups of wine parallel coast yeshua's the israel shannon legethen it's parallel to the cup of salvation that the jewish people will be drinking or that even are the jewish people who are compared to the gethin since we are the wine we are the geffen okay i want you to get that point across not only we drinking the wine we are the geffen okay now where are we leading with this this is absolutely fascinating if you go to exodus chapter six verse six and seven you will find four languages terms used for redemption such as god says i will take you out i will save you and i will redeem you now that's in the that's three in the first verse and there's one in the next verse and i will take you to me to be a people so in hebrew it goes like this it's beautiful right i will bring you out i will save you will go out yes and i will redeem you but the last one and i will take you is in a separate verse and i'm bringing that up for a reason because he's going to point it out later we will point it out later why it's in a separate verse while we're here on psalms 116 verse 13 i shall lift a cup of salvations coast yeshua's s over shema yeah and i will call out in the name of the lord okay so that is the jewish people the jewish people call out in salvation especially on but now this is where it gets really risque is that a word for this purpose i don't know but basically poison for some reason hashem is causing to be drunk to drink the nations these four cups parallel to the four cups of salvation that the jews are drinking the nations will be drinking four cups of poison so how do we know that look in number nine i'm only going to go to the third opinion down here we already discussed the first opinion it's interesting that the cup is used four times in joseph's interpretation of the dream to the cup bear you can read that on your own but here the third opinion i got this from the orsonic website on the four cups the third opinion posits that the four cups refer to the four great empires these are the mafiot which subjected israel after egypt and whose punishment was pretended by a foretold mention of their drinking from god's cup of god's fury okay listen it's in the tanakh i didn't make any of this up you know what i'm saying i love the world i love every human being really okay i mean i have i have some issues with some of them but we're not going to get into that tonight okay this is a counter distinction to the fourfold mention of israel's drinking from the cup of god's redemption regarding the nations the verse says it so i'm going to read the four verses and you can write them down and examine them later jeremiah 25 15. jeremiah 51 7 psalms 75 9 and psalms 11 6. okay so let's go through jeremiah 25 15 first god says right take the wine cup of fury from my hand and make all the nations who persecute you drink it so this sounds like poison this sounds like something that's not healthy right and the second jeremiah 51 7 the nations have drunk from the wine in the cup of the hand of babylon therefore they have become mad right it's not something healthy it's going to cause them pain of sorts look now in psalm 75 9 for there is a cup in the hand of god i'm not sure how many i don't have the whole verse in front of me i don't know how many words are missing but it's dregs all the wicked of the earth shall drink so this is the poison cup and 75 9 in psalms upon the wicked he will reign snares fire and brimstone and temptuous winds shall be the portion of their cup clear is mud and we already spoke about the the cup of salvation for the jews but there's a few other verses you might want to become familiar with and that is in psalm 16 5 psalms 23 5 and we already read psalms 1 16 13 but basically this is the positive side regarding the four cups of redemption it says in psalm 16 5 you are the portion of my inheritance and my cup in psalms 23 5 you anoint my head with oil my cup is overflowing okay back to the text as it's brought down in uh breishit rabbah the the the the the message that the donkey and the angel were trying to get across was there how is it you want to uproot all this the jewish people from keeping these holidays you're basically trying to curse those who should be blessed and blessed those who should be cursed should be the other way around as we all know everyone should be familiar with this right god says i will bless those who bless you right and those who curse you will be cursed okay so before we um take a short break i want to go through um if you go back to the source sheet number two in three as source three i mentioned here how they're going to come together but we didn't see it all yet so this is like an introduction to the answer so each of our patriarchs in doubt and every one of the jewish people with a particular quality godly quality so avraham he's hesed we're going to see that and therefore it's going to represent pesach how we'll see it how avraham represents pesach yitzhak he represents the temple to a great extent because he was like sacrifice and he's gevorah and therefore it's going to represent we'll talk about that shortly and yaakov who's to terrorists which is beauty he's going to represent the israel who received the torah and we okay and therefore it's going to represent uh the attribute of mercy which represents sukkot okay that's then we have the holidays we just started to mention them why are the three holidays corresponding to each one of the forefathers i should say picture i could stick to the word patriarchs because they're only three forefathers okay so pesach corresponds to avraham if you look in genesis 18 6 where avraham himself says make the matzah and you have shavuous correspond to yitzhak because we mentioned that yitzhak was a sacrifice himself which represented by the ram and by the land by the the the shofar that's on the the ram during us during the giving of the torah there was a great um noise there was a great calling of the shofar you'll see that in exodus 19 verse 19 chapter 19 verse 19 and sukkos is going to represent yaakov because the first time sukkos has ever used in genesis 33 17 where on his way back from lovin's house to to eric's israel he stopped in a place called sukkot okay so basically the akakakit says we mentioned the yama bamakumsar right he stood in a narrow place i sure ain't derek lentos yamino small there was no place to turn right or left and that's going to be parallel to chavuz called it seris why chabot if you look in proverbs chapter 3 verse it says so it's a length of days we're talking about the torah wisdom its length of days is to the right and to its left is wealth and honor if do you realize that if the jewish people had not received the torah the imale hebrew torah israel yeshua torah if the jewish people had not received the torah it would have reverted that the world would have reverted to what nothingness chaos and void you'll find this in shabbos gamora shabbos 88 88 you'll find that number 11. just so those who are not familiar with it it's really just the bottom line but i'll read the whole piece here hezekiah hiskiya said what is the meaning of that which is written it's in psalm 79 6 i think you caused sentence to be heard from heaven the earth feared and was silent well if it was afraid why was it silent and if it was silent why was it afraid rather the meaning is at first it was afraid and in the end it was silent you caused sentence to be heard from heaven refers to the revelation of sinai so and why was the earth afraid so it's in accordance with the statement made by reish lakish what did reshalakhan said what is the meaning of this verse in genesis 1 verse 31 and there was evening and there was morning yom ha-shi-shi on the sixth day there's a hey infinitive infinitive definitive hey thank you hashishi why all the other days you're right but here you have ha shishi definitive hay why is there a superfluous letter hey definitive article there you go definite definite article which does not appear by the other days it teaches that the holy one blessed be he established the condition the whole world was conditioned meaning talloy was just hanging if the if israel accepts the torah on the sixth day of sivan the sixth day that sixth day you will exist heaven and earth will exist and if they don't accept it i will return you to the primordial state of chaos and disorder therefore the earth was afraid until the torah was given to israel lest it return to the state of chaos once the jewish people accept the torah accepted the torah the earth was calmed okay so that reiterates what we just said that if god forbid the jewish people and not accept the torah then the whole world will reserve we've revert back to tovah so guess what if the whole earth reverts back to tovavo guess what happens to the to the gentiles everyone's given like uh it's gone how you call um they catarrhate so what's the angel and the the donkey trying to get across you want to get rid of the jews it's only going to hurt you they celebrate the festival yes both soraka that we need it right it's necessary for the to have the jews celebrate this this holiday shiva mala ubisomata not only the nations but also all of creation even the angelic forces as well as the animal forces everything right every life everything is dependent on the jews accepting the torah the khalid very possible that when we talked about the pathways with of the vineyard when it hints at it that you wanted to uproot this nation that celebrated the festival passover the shotimbo arbokosos remember we said that they drink the four cups can negative we're going to see the bala touring i i don't want to do it yet i want to save all this good stuff for the end so anybody's listening there's some really good stuff that we're going to see at the end but this is just an overview in the beginning so the four cups represent the four kingdoms that we're going to unfortunately be experiencing or have experienced already exile and also wine meaning pesach the four cups represent the four kingdoms and the concept of wine by the way what is the gematria of wine easy yudud is ten tens twenty and one is 50 70. so not only did we talk about and we will talk about it again shortly those 70 bulls why bulls why 70 why in the format that it's given and not just over the seven days give ten each day why is it thirteen the first day then twelve then eleven down to seven on the last day seven on the seventh day for the seventy nations okay we're gonna get to that but in the meantime we're focusing on the word wine the four cups miss kamisbar shivim keneget shivim umos again parallel and the the donkey and the angel saying to billam you want to uproot these these people that celebrate these three festivals right now we're focusing on pesach you get rid of right you get rid of them you get rid of the any solution for the uh for the 70 nations will be told if you cause the jews not to celebrate goram gam and gom came beto called shivamos you're causing a negation of the rest of humankind right okay so now we're in the last paragraph but i'm telling you this is nowhere near finished we're going to go through the ben yahooda we're going to go through the gamora's commentaries on um on on sukkos 55 b okay so the last paragraph begins like this it's also possible it's probable or to explain further when the when the donkey says these three times and it says remember the hint was what you want to uproot this nation what would we say before ready that what that celebrates these holidays wait to hear this nothing to do with it that you want to uproot this nation that has it be sloshed in other words if you go to perkial votes you'll find this number 14 right there are three pillars upon which the world stands the world stands on three things torah avodah and gomes it stands on torah service of god and deeds of kindness they actually do relate to each one of the patriarchs so we'll tie that in the hainus raglaya olam these are the three pillars the world stands on torah vaudeville and if you be to them if you be too long right you get rid of the jewish people that are keeping these three pillars alive keeping the world alive and i tell you i'm gonna maybe i'll mention it right now what's going on in america and maybe other places you want to defund the police you want to get rid of you know you let's say god forbid there's anti-zionist anti-semitism the jews are going to run like heck you're going to be left holding the bag and it's not going to be pretty because the the what the jews do is keep these three things in the world the world stands on torah of odon and you'll see if you get rid of them heroes the world would be destroyed if the jews did not keep kindness and proper service and torah the world would be destroyed like what do you call that place chop in seattle the how do we know that gamila's kassadin kindness was mentioned as it says the taillight was said and she went to the field because the prime the prime charity the prime way of giving to others was from the field today we go to the market so you you have a box that when you can't when you cash out if you want to give in a charity or uh extra food right there's boxes in at least in israel every time you leave a supermarket there's a box you buy things and you put it in for the hyaline or for the poor people or right someone's getting married it's unbelievable it's so beautiful but anyway we don't know anything about the fields but that's how it used to be done and i'll mention just a handful of mitzvahs some mice roast the lekkage right these were all agricultural mixes they would give to the konim and the living and the the the forgotten sheaves and the ones you left there uh when you're gleaning and the corner of your field all that was left for the poor or for the needy what about the service in the temple serving god that's done in the base of mikdash the actual tabernacle and baits and mikdash is called what a vineyard it's referred to the vineyard that's why when it's talking about those pathways in the vineyard rash even explains on song of songs chapter 2 verse 4 it says he brought me to the banquet hall but the banquet hall that's i don't know if that's a good translation but it says el base haiyan he brought me to the house of wine obviously that's a great name for the banquet hall the house of wine right the the room of wine but it's uh it's not talking about you know nehemiah brothers down on pierre pierconing or or mccoy right it's talking about the temple or the the tabernacle look at rashi says the om-08 he brought me to the tenth of meeting and also and regarding the um aid look in song of songs chapter 7 verses 13 12 and 13 so come my beloved let us go out to the field let us lodge in the villages let us arise early to the vineyards you can look at rashi on that let us arise early to the vineyards these are the synagogues and the study halls that's basically the old moe you know the concept of the temple miyat a miniature temple let us see whether the vine has blossomed these are the students of the torah and the tiny grapes whether they have developed or not when the blossom falls off the grapes are discernible this is the development of the samadhar and he compares the students of the mishnah to them it goes on and on and on and it's talking about the beauty of the jewish people so let me just finish this one paragraph and then we're going to go deep down the rabbit hole so the le this this paragraph finishes like this but malcolm saar asher ain't derek lyntos yamino small in that very narrow place where it couldn't move left or right right or left it's hinting to the torah simply right we all know the torah is yashar strait right and you have no real maneuvering power to go too far in any direction that's it you go straight and even by the sanhedrin when they tell you what to do you have to do whatever they tell you to go if they say left is right or right is left you have to follow them so basically again straight you do whatever they say you don't you can't manipulate and go your own way okay but direction is everything we discussed according to the clear car is proper and true now what i want you to do on i think on your sheets it's the i think well it looks like this i wonder if it's the last sheet you have okay that's what it looks like it's the banyoda area we're going to do this first then we're going to go into the gamora a little bit with some of the commentary so we mentioned did i let's see real quick one second we did the gamora maybe not um i'm going to do the good more real quick so you're all familiar with it do we have it on the source sheet yeah i think we did where is it it's in the beginning right what number is it [Music] no no no we're not there yet okay so i apologize i'm going to tell it over to you now rebel eliezer sorry ruby a lozer said regarding those 70 bulls he wants to know number five yeah you see it number five on the sarshi very good oh okay very good revelator said these 70 bulls that are sacrificed as additional offerings over the course of the seven days of sukkot what do they correspond to you know because there's sheep and there's land there's rams there's other there's other offerings right but what are those 70 bulls we mentioned i think i quoted this i didn't i to what do they correspond they correspond to the seventeen nations of the world and are brought to atone for their sins and hasten world peace remember if bilaam wanted to uproot the jewish people who celebrate sukkot it would bring about the opposite of world peace so why is a single bull offered on the eighth day meaning the shemini at seras you have 70 bulls as i mentioned on the first day of 13 then there's 12 then there's 11 all the way down to the seventh day seven and then the eighth day one bull is brought the gamora cites the parable about a king a flesh and blood a human a human king who says to his servants in the beginning he says to his servants prepare for me a great feast it's going to last several days so a great feast for seven days it says several days when the feast concluded on the last day he said to his beloved so in the beginning he said to his servants great feast towards the end he said to his beloved prepare for me a small feast so i can derive pleasure from you alone think about it when you go to a great feast why are you going for the food if you're going to a small feast why are you going for the company right for the host said woe unto the nations of the world that lost something and don't know what they lost can you imagine this is the article we read in the very beginning only 70 years later or 50 years later 40 years however many years the different nations the arab nations kicked out the jews they're kicking themselves that they we say we shot ourselves in the foot if you read the article you talk about they were all finance ministers they they opened up all the the banks all the commerce unbelievable what the jews have done in every country they've ever been in and it's only after they kick us out they they realize what what a mistake what a tragic mistake but you know what we do belong here so anyway for the jews who are listening sell now get out anyway they don't even know what they lost when the temple standing the 70 bulls are sacrificed on the altar during the festival circus and that atones for them and now that the temple is destroyed who atones for them okay so with that in mind i want to now go to the den yoda and we're only going to use this in the beginning because we have several other sources to go through it looks like this i did send it to you guys so when he he's commenting on the idea that god said to his beloved make me a small suitor so i could benefit from you i can benefit from you i'm not i'm not coming for the food i i am a small a small meal a small banquet a small meal shows i want to have the relationship with you should i translate it as i'll just say in english so the explanation is that if it was a large suita they would say pseudomeans a meal it was on account of benefiting from the meal because there's so much to choose from there would be so much plenty that's why it came to you but if it was a small meal where you only have a small amount the so that the the obviously i'm not benefiting from the meal but rather it's because of you that i came um but not for um but not for the meal but for the for you and this was the analogy and now the nimsho what was it can be compared to the 70 bulls that's what we're focusing in on those 70 bulls they're going to be parallel to the 70 nations i want you to know i did believe i do build i do believe on the source sheet you'll find this on page seven so i quoted some of the part some of the um verses we're going to be going through so in psalm 72 9. so it's referring to the the mele hamashiach it's referring to the king messiah where it says in 72 9 may nobles kneel before him and may his enemies lick the dust the oid of afar so the word afar is the dust now if you take that word apart there's an iron and then there's a pay raise divided in two words i in the 70 par is bulls there's 70 bulls the word afar this is referring to the word as we said afar it comes out it's like you're saying there's 70 of the bulls this is the amount that it takes to lick it up and what it's referring to he says go to isaiah 49 23 this is also messianic the king shall be your nursing fathers and their princesses your wet nurses they shall prostrate themselves to you and their face on the ground and they shall lick the dust of your feet and you shall know that i am the lord for those who wait for me shall not be ashamed so again we're talking about those words they shall lick the dust of your feet so the word regular is actually talking about your feet but again that's the same word used for the pilgrimage festivals regalim so we're talking about the offer the 70 bulls that are on your festivals that you they will be consumed perush that the 70 bulls of your festivals meaning the moadim the actual festivals themselves modim and what it refers to later on by the single bull that's referring to the single unit the single um um people nation that's the jewish people so he explains now this is a little bit difficult because apparently he had the wrong word and he corrects himself but if you look in job chapter 19 verse 25 he's not quoting the word yadati he's quoting the word a marty but he doesn't matter he then corrects himself ania martin i know that my redeemer lives the word yadati is what is actually in the verse but he's misquoting it but it's the last part anyway that he wants you to see and the last on earth he will endure so those words is the the acharon al ayan payresh the the last one of the seventy of the the bulls will endure that's what he's referring to and that is the jewish people by the way because that seven that last bull the seventy first bulldog that we're going to give we're going to offer up on schmiditzeras is really for us it's that small it's the small that's it's the small banquet feast so he ends by saying like this [Music] therefore that last thing is the last day right and the last on earth that's not a good translation it's the well it is but it isn't because it's the last of the dust the last of the 70 of the uh the bulls so he's basically saying like this that is on shmini at saras because that's yo macharon that's the last day that you're going to offer up that last par of what we're considering of the 70 bulls therefore what is he really saying the puzzle is really saying about the whatever this bull is it's over and above all the other 70 that will yakum shiit kayamun wow that that one bowl on schmidt terrace is get over and above and enduring it's actually even overcoming all the other 70 bulls that were offered prior to this and therefore it's going to be in the car it's going to be a recognizably recognizable that it's a lover right we're talking about the jew that god loves the jewish people when he mentions notice in the beginning he says my servants i want you to make a big suitor but to my beloved he says i want you to make me a small suitor okay this is just the beginning because we're now going to see and i think it's probably too small for most people i'm sorry i actually have a larger copy for myself to read from and know what let's go to the balatorium first we'll do the balatorium first so we did mention in um in genesis chapter 25 verse 26 is that right we didn't do we didn't mention it yet anyway so let's mention now it says after right when when the twins were born yaakov afterwards they came out the brother with his hand holding the heel of asaf and they call and they called his name his name was called yaakov and yitzhak was 60 years old at the time so look in this debalatory that the word what's the word the after words right after words the word is a gemachi of 70. so the words right afterwards came out his brother so here you have kane is umos you have 71 nations that's why we're always called a sheep that is surrounded by 70 wolves right this is we are not part of the 70 in fact even the sanhedrin has 71 people there's the leader and then you have the sanhedrin right you always have to have within the sanhedrin anyway you always have to have an odd number right you can't have 35 35 it has to be 36 35 and we're going to see that amazing very soon what we're relating to over here with the 71 so the jewish people are the 71st nation you have 70 aside from us and are we going to do this even even the word asaf asav is i in shove is ayan shin v he's equal to 70. somehow asav is going to represent basically the 70 nations which is rome by the way which is the west and there's another concept if you're not familiar with it there's no such thing as the jews as israel and rome being equal either one is up and the others down or vice versa now don't think that it's a natural that if the romans are somehow raising themselves up we go down it doesn't work like that it's always dependent on what happens to the jews if the jews are able to rise above and do the will of god then they will be risen and the nation of adam will drop will go down but if the people of adam actually work out let's say they do the right thing it has nothing to do with them being risen it's only a matter if the jews stop doing the will of god you know they fail to do the will of god then they will drop and rome will will rise it's not dependent on what rome does it's strictly dependent on what israel does i know larry you're probably wondering what what about all the righteous gentiles how does that work it means they don't have free will no so there's only going to be a remnant left of asof right there will be a returning of a-sun we're going to get to that tonight very shortly i mentioned earlier on about the three i'll say now there were the three languages of redemption in one verse and the fourth language of redemption was all by itself in another verse and guess what that's referring to adam and adam is separate in the other nations and two when it comes to the four mentioned non-kosher animals in the torah the first three mentioned in one verse and pig khazr khazir is mentioned all by itself it's different from the other three yes it might be different but it's also in a different verse it somehow could have been arranged but it wasn't okay because the pig has the one sin and the other three and the others that's the way god made it okay and the word khazir means to return and therefore we do know right even though avadya says right it sounds like there's almost going to be nothing left of adam but there is a remnant of adam hashem there will be a remnant of of adam that will do truva and return at the end and there's even a measure that says that pig will be kosher in the future so exactly what that means i don't know i've heard someone explain that this symmonium as larry just mentioned actually will change because god says these are the money okay and if there's some money change then it could be and will be that the pig could be kosher in that case okay so there's a lot of comments that i want to make sure that we cover um but it's really the next part let me just make sure i have my thing opened [Applause] okay let's go now you'll see it on the bottom part of the commentary on suk is 55b [Applause] here it is so the question is why why did rebbe allazer ask he asked the question what about these 70 bulls what do they represent why did he only ask about those those offerings so hatam the reason the rebels are specifically asked about the 70 bulls the low shark carbanos and not for about the other offerings so the explanation the article in there that all the other car bundles they're equal every single day every single day they're the same amount again when it came to these offerings you have 13 on the first day and one less each day very weird ah they're constantly going down and diminishing therefore he asked why is there a change why is there a difference specifically about the cows about the bulls so he answers the shaheen kaneget ayan umos they're parallel to the 70 nations i want to read the rest and then we'll go into the commentary on this hey view because esser the very fact that we don't bring during those seven days 10 each day which obviously would equal seven deals well this is a simmon and a hint to the nations that what diminish it's a hint to the diminishing of the nations i said don't take this personally right because you shouldn't because if you're a righteous gentile you're excluded kudis of the medrish as has brought down the medrash this hints to the dimunition or the demeaning the diminuting that's what's the word it's probably a word dimination of the nations fine so let's now look at the commentary on that there's a milta and i'm sorry it's uh the book is called malachi and he explained specifically during the sukkos that we bring the kurbonos parallel to the nations of the world according to what it says in gomorrah zara the gimmel side a that in the future hashem is going to give the mitzvah of sukkah to the nations but they will kick it in anger now that's where maybe just we'll go to zacharia real quick let's do that now or let me just read a little bit further one second so it happens to be that the arc linear explains that also on pesach right the world is judged for grains and i skipped something didn't i yeah okay going back sorry so they will be celebrating why is it that the nations will be celebrating sukkot do you understand what i'm saying we don't they're not going to be celebrating shibuyas they're not going to be celebrating pesach they're going to be celebrating sukkot and that is because the world is judged for water water and how do you have anything you don't really have any grains you don't have any fruits if you don't have water but nevertheless pesach the grains are judged the fruits are judged and on shivua on sukkot water is judged because water you need for life it's going to be very important to be judged properly so basically i keep losing my place [Music] yeah so the ark laner says that even on pesach we're judged for the grains on chavous were grained for the fruits however since there are three keys that are still in the hand of god and one of them is the the the key of rain and therefore since it's still in god's hands there has to be some kind of um i don't know what the word i'm looking for um or you have to earn it basically no it's not going to come to you for free therefore the the the carbonos the the offerings are necessary on account of what the i'm going to count of the water which is not necessary by all the other things um that are underneath the power of the let's say archangels or different powers that god distributed because people receive them no matter what even if they're not deserving of them now there is written that the judgment of water is much more strict it's obviously much more important to be judged for water and because all of life depends on it okay so in the um in a book called the meshech he asked shamash may be why is it specifically sukkos because the akuma because the non-jews are what you know why they sell we know why the gentiles celebrate sukkot because the gentiles can't really relate to all the miracles that took place when we left egypt nor did they receive the torah so it's not going to really relate to what to shabbos however they do recognize in the future and hopefully those righteous gentiles recognize it right now that what they're going to come to recognize that hashem is the king of the earth he fills the earth and all his glory and therefore it comes at the very end right the time of collecting that's unbelievable we spoke about earlier but the asaf at the time of the heart not the harvesting but the time of the gang gathering yeah hodos they're going to come and praise hashem for all the good which happened to them and then israel will not sin anymore and a book called the emma kadavar says that even in the future the will celebrate and they're going to come to israel for sukkahs look in zuharia chapter 14. it says you really chapter 14 verses 16 through it says and it will be that all who are left over from all the nations who invaded jerusalem will come up every year to worship the king hashem master of the universe and to celebrate the festival of sukkot okay and i want to skip down a little bit so it says like this what time is it oh wow okay i just want to mention that it's a very interesting idea we did mention that adam is like all 70 but really there's a division there are two main nations and that is adam which is the west which is christianity and ishmael which represents uh islam that between i'll just read it here that between the 70 nations 35 were on one side and the other 35 were on the other exactly um you know yeah equals 70. so in the in the hidduchiya gra he mentions the iron umos the the prime of the 70 nations or the leaders of the 70 nations are both a7 ishmael and you come out that there were 35 of these 70 bulls 35 representing asav and 35 representing ishmael so how does he say it because there are when if you go i don't you don't have it but i have it so i'm going to just explain it if you go to at numbers chapter 29 verses 1 through 39 you'll find the verse is referring to the 70 bowls so on each of the days so basically if you count just listen to this day 1 which is 13 day 2 which is 12 and day 10. how many bowls sorry i'm sorry day ten day four which is ten bowls you have thirty five and during those days it says like this user easing is referring to ishmael so 35 seer ezine are brought on the first day the second day and the fourth day which equals a 35 as opposed to the other days it doesn't say see it says the words and again if you want to just do the math it's not that hard you're talking about day 11 i'm sorry day three which eleven are brought day five which nine are brought day six which ada brought and day seven which seven are brought so you have a total of 35 for the other days and therefore you have division between the two um so basically i read all the comments i wanted to yeah so i just want to sum this up okay i want to kind of sum this up that how did we begin if the nations would have realized what they were going to do by destroying the temple or even by just trying to destroy us as was the message given over to bilaam it's going to be detrimental to the nations it's going to be detrimental to you okay so that's the message please every jew should hear this message you right my rosh yeshiva of noah weinberg said one person has so much potential they can change the world it takes one person to change the world so that's meaning every one of us has such positive aspects to us do you realize what the jewish nation can do and if you're a righteous gentile you're like i'm going to say it you're like equal to a jew man i'll just say it you're like equal to a jew so right you go to heaven you're right you have uh the world to come you're blessed so how much power do we have how much ability how much how much potential do we have it's unbelievable but you know what the same thing applies in the other direction too right that we also have the power to be corrupted or to corrupt and destroy so keep this in mind anyone who has the power to destroy also has the power to improve and that's the message right god forbid that we should think that god created the world for nothing there's a purpose and everyone everyone has their purpose and you have to tap into it right it's so powerful you're creating the image of god okay so don't like what did billam do i mean he had to be told if you destroy an another human being with the potential right you're only going to hurt yourself these people whether called jews or righteous gentiles these people have the ability to make a tikkun of the world to fix the world fix yourself you fix the world anyways that's my message and i hope i didn't offend anyone please i apologize if i did i if you've if you're watching this it means you made it to the end so i congratulate you and i wish you shabbat shalom and a great life [Music] i
