Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: You Shall be Holy For I The Lord Your God am Holy Kedoshim

[Music] okay so there's an introduction to parshas Kadosh II I would have mentioned that the word Kadosh yes totally yes it been sanctified but also means separates okay so with all that in mind it's not like it's only one meaning it means all those things and to understand that when something is holy it is distinguished it is separate now one of the things that are going to come up is the idea of how separation can make one holy and the rabbi's actually made a lot of phone to come out zeroes additions to help us to make guards ready no offenses that actually the concept of offense means the separation right good fences make good neighbors so that's going to cause a problem because we all know that the Torah says you're not allowed to add to the Torah you know how to subtract from the Torah so what right did the rabbi's have to do such a thing so you know we have an oral torah and purpie a volte it says and the ethics of our fathers that one should make a fence for the daughter to make a guardian for the daughter now that's an oral torah what about the written Torah is there any hint to that so they're gonna be there willing to show you before we begin but I heard a rabid Kellerman and I actually forgot to send you the tape it's only about 15 minutes she were but he speaks about relationships you want a relationship with God you want a relationship with your father let her relationship with your wife don't do things that you know disturb then if he says don't eat pork or your wife says please stop doing the certain thing then you want that who wants that relationship will take two steps back and figure out a way you know a fishbone and efforts you making a captain of your soul how it is you could do something that will remind yourself not to do that which know how light turn off the cell phones okay so I'll call you just a few verses that give you the number one there is yes and Oral Torah which we all know there is one and the idea of separating or causing the rabbi's to take a stand and initiate fences so we'll start at the bottom of my list with Leviticus 18 verse 4 through 5 that says carry out my laws it's not on yours it's not only resource sheet I'm really sorry it was something I thought of it just scratched a few sentences for you guys so maybe I'll put it together but in the meantime it's Leviticus chapter 18 verses 4 through 5 God says carry out my laws and safeguard my decrees to follow them so what does it mean to safeguard London trees what does it mean to possibly add at mishpat II Tarasov at Google tie Tish Maru so now that should you go in them right carry them out you should do them but you should guard them God what's the relationship it's all about the relationship and look at them and then to walk in them and follow in them I mean I shall indicate I'm I believe your God and you showed to observe my decrees God says you shall observe that but the Hebrews Martin Singh were guarding should guard my laws my decrees witness but I assured we'll assume Oh Tom hahaha who she mentioned ooh and he should live by them in order to really have life in which we all want a really true spiritual life so we have to guard God's laws we all know Deuteronomy 4:2 which is the actual statement do not have you should not add to the word that I can know you in each other subtract from it to observe the commandments of the shampoo God like a man you so when the rabbi's do as we will seemingly think that he that were adding we're not adding to the Word of God it's clear that this is a rabbinic enactment if one would call the rabbinic enactment the Word of God that's called adding to the Word of God you follow so it's very clear that we have to study we have to know what we're talking about when we I'll give you a few examples and we're talking about great people who lived right King David King Solomon Ezra these are all great I called the rabbi's that instituted rabbinic decrees so you can't and another event the right the the the prophets had read the prophets never came to give gave review for anybody who added in this fashion the example I gave that people often is that we talked about the fasts in the prophets that those fast days are going to turn into fast feast days okay you're talking about the the fast of the fourth and the fastest of fifth in the best of the seventh and the best of the tenth we only have one fast from the Torah and that is your cue for right the day where you will flick yourself which we actually talked about actually about services operate most of the dosha but we're going to talk about it so the idea is that those Rabbids and the Prophet does not come and right if you're thinking like the way these people think that the Jews are wrong to make these rabbinic enactments then the Prophet and would have come and said those days not return to fasts feasting you should never make those days in the first place but they don't they're acknowledging that this Jewish tradition to fast over those days and those obviously were because of the destruction of the temples and at horrible matters and to rectify that we fast to remember that we fast and these are rabbinic enactments King Solomon enacted certain types of MOOCs up on Shabbat things that we don't do it Shabbat later on Ezra Nehemia added a whole lot more and they stipulated that once the Jews activate themselves back to the in order to survey over the Land of Israel but keeping Chaves properly many of those enactments will fall away and many of them had when we came back right and saw they saw people who had been here for 70 years without any real Torah scholars and guidance doing commerce on Shabbat right all kinds of covers and acts physical acts Camela heart shredding grapes and they said okay it's like sweep the pendulum all the other way you can't do anything on Shabbat in other words almost everything is permissible we swing the pendulum absolutely nothing is permissible meaning that many many of rabbinic enactments came about during the time of the prophets and they stipulated themselves as time went on the Jews got used to keeping Shabbat properly then these these to cut out these extra guards could then be removed as time goes on with that introduction you're going to start with tradition so when it god says you shall behold we are in chapter 19 in photographic verses we're gonna deal with verse 1 and 2 first and then we're going to three or four but God says the ship spoke to Moses say we thought we are the new emotion lame or da bear Elko adopted in Australia speak to the entire Assembly of the children of Israel Liam are totally heaven you shall say to them if those she seeking you you shall behold what do those words mean you shall be holy you should be like angels I mean what in your minds do we think of is holy so we do now and we mentioned this in the introduction that the word holy means separate okay it's not it's not exclusively separate also he's holy sanctified and when you sanctify something it is separately distinguished okay so God tells us to be holy it's a command the truth is at the beginning let's go through it let's see what the clear car has to say because he brings up really good questions and the first thing is actually going to point that as the word Cole about all or the entire assembly so when you say the word Cole doesn't mean the entire or doesn't mean all and could there be a difference and what is the word of dot a dot means a congregation when else is it used we see by the spice okay this is not on the page okay so but where we have despised came into language there were twelve spies there were two let's say with the good counsel hey Joshua and Caleb but what was remaining behind was an evil Council of spice and they were pull the dot so we now know at least the definition for the number numerical number of the dot is 10 so when he says specifically pull at that it means as the de Moura the oral tradition teaches us aimed a de Pahokee on Sarah there's no such thing as a congregation less than 10 that's minimal quantity and based on that end of our Sheila could do Sheppard hook massage there are certain things that we say we use God's name in different formats and different ways as in a public gathering that we wouldn't do privately okay so that shit's like a paradigm shift in spiritual essence so for example in the repetition when we get together to pray so just to have a repetition of the prayer out loud which is great to some of the main concept of group prayer prayer group and having group prayer is when you're of 10 and that's why we're required to have 10 men for a quorum immediate when we're together right there's the Priestly Blessing that cannot be done with less than 10 you do a private lesson to somebody but not publicly it requires 10 the bar who the invitation to come and bless a sham at prayer as well as after eating when you have three people it's one level of holiness and then when you have ten people's another level anyway that's just a few examples so now he says that's why it says here speak to the kola das to the entire congregation or all the congregation's meaning to each and every congregation that they should be holding every group should have this level of holiness and it's through them through getting together of ten people then certain things we call Levi kedusha for the wash of the minutia things of holiness matters of holiness or words of notice are then permitted to be pronounced once you have that minimum quarrels 10 people and once you have that I should build the caching shamone Brock we're able to sanctify God's name because if you notice actual person who verse ends by saying Annie Hashem right keypad or Shani I'm sorry this is in verse one it's in verse 2 it's towards the end of verse two right you should be holy because I am holy this is something that brought me closest to Orthodox Judaism myself God wants us to be like him you showed you holy for I am holy ok the third there's many character traits that we know of God we can't really describe God he's an indescribable and he's invisible but we know his character and we're supposed to imitate we're supposed to work with our own character to be like him the story itself begins with the whole idea of God bringing Eve to creating man and bringing in his wife so we are supposed to make matches we're supposed to help people get married right and he closed us okay so we're supposed to help the poor with clothing and at the end God God Himself buries Moses so we're supposed to bury people would think that I was that I wonder still alive so this is the whole Torah the whole Torah is about being kind about acquiring the character traits of God being god-like okay so he says with this introduction not just this introduction this whole concept is always going to be introduced before elevating to a higher level the hitting the partials doing you could do shake Israel so this is introduction to about concept of the holiness of the Jewish people just like if you look on the source sheet this is the first source Exodus 19:6 right before the receiving of the Torah God says from what he says to us and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests came English it's priest the word kahani we use for priests which is royalty you should be to me like royalty but the truth is the root of Kohanim is Mihaly that means God saying to serve me it means the Serpent's our servants are public servants they're the leaders right the leaders are just servants right so you shall be to me a kingdom of priests supreme the kingdom of kahani a Kadosh a holy nation and these are the words you shall speak to the children of Israel even the HUD the very much share to doubt their opening trail okay so what do we see here this is before receiving the Torah God tells us just that he's saying now condoning to you yo he says TV you we shall be to me hiding and we're going to see the level of kahani within the Jewish I'll hold a caste system okay but that's very vain what does that mean but there's certain kind of holiness and separation that the colony map that we don't have right okay we know they can't just matter it's just anybody they can't just walk wherever they want to walk they can't just eat whatever they want to eat there's so many levels of separation okay the truth is we wash our hands before we eat bread that's a rabbinic command it's a rabbinic concept they up the level of responsibility on us because really is the code name they have to wash their hands but because we don't have a temple and we don't have the holy food that think they would be able to eat because nobody's on the level to be able to eat it so you would think okay we'll just go that our lives like the rest of the nations but no don't we know what God wants God wants us to anticipate the coming of the Messiah and the shiok and the rebuilding of the temple we'll be ready for it that's what God wants that relationship so the rabbi's instituted we also Israelis not just Connie the Israel of the other tribes should wash their hands before eating bread to keep the con diem accustomed to washing their hands because it any moment down we've had holy foods that the economy needs you see the idea when we're gone with this okay just someone made shares it's clear so before Matt and toner before the revelation God says you should be to me a kingdom of priests a good kadosh now in our parser there's also a hint if you go through the rest of the kenosha you'll see the ten commandments are embedded in the parson and so before as an introduction to our part she's also telling us to be holy okay you should review the ten commandments are not what you think they are what most people think they are that they're just ten commandments that they're actually 10 statements and they include as subcategories are hinted within that all 613 laws the truth is a 620 letters in the first set of tablets so according to some the 620 letters are brought down each letter represents one of the commandments that 613 and there are seven Noahide laws that are represented through the other in fact the last two words of the Ten Commandments is a shell or a fo which are to Europe don't have any desire to your name don't covet to your neighbor and so the last two words are seven letters to your neighbor could be they're representing the non-jewish world in terms of the seven letters representing the seven Noahide laws okay so there's a this idea that the Ten Commandments are involved in the you could read it the rest of Kenosha was brought down in the metric so that's what the clear car says that's why there you have this introduction of kedusha of holiness or separation in order to what I love these words but how variable am abyss was to make more endearing and having a patient of a desire to do the missiles when you understand it's about the relationship okay it's about the relationship so this idea of club Eve is too is to desire the missus and the root of the Mitzvah I know I say this over and over again but I you need to drill it in and that is south means to look up there to connect we do the commit Commandments and that's a horrible horrible translation but once we really sinking in our head will understand the commandments are really avenues paths to connect to the Almighty okay that's what solve the root of mitzvot means so I know the word command can have a very negative connotation but we should keep in mind that's what it really means it's an opportunity to connect with your life to our Father in Heaven no more meaning to say sure I'll be they have that through the midst years cruel amounts kedusha were able to raise ourselves up in holiness or separation however even it it could explain they were both and don't say for even a minute don't even think for a moment that holiness is a small matter that's why it says ki kadosh I mean I am Oh God Himself is saying I am only so don't victim being holy in such a small thing okay so because I'll tell us that this is where we're going to get into that little you know idea about defenses every place that you find a getter error some type of a fence or a guarding against sexual immorality there you find all this okay now you desert would follow what I'm saying and in an Orthodox synagogue we come to sanctify ourselves through prayer and service to ocean and there's a separation between the sexes between the men and women you that's what I don't know maybe there are other religions to do this maybe it's natural yeah I mean the Christian sects have a separation but this is something I thought was unique and you guys can threaten if I'm wrong something very you know there are obviously there's about 80,000 different religions around the world but something that we have always done and so the lesson of that's just an example there but we're talking about general so the whole concept of would the language of get there get there again means that fence so it reflects or teaches about something that is actually permissible right when something is permissible according to the letter of the law and you make some type of offense so the in this movie that I'm going to send you the clip to by Rabbi Kellerman he says okay so you have a distance between you and the clip of six feet and you think that's safe but you know that you know what six feet it's on the border it's a cliff you might die so I'll make myself a line at eight feet I will not come to the edge of the cliff by backing up two feet and making some kind of a line for myself because I'm going to live right otherwise there's death make sense so far so that's why this statement Oh so the idea is to make this fence to distance yourself from that which is forbidden so when even like it's an ethic in America Israel never rebuilding fences and you the lawyers even yourself you have the neighbor and he doesn't want to share the expensive little defense with you which would be really nice because then it could be on the border and you don't lose let's say it's uh it's it's about foot why so if you can convince him to build a wall with you so you gain six inches and he gains things in other words if you decide you're gonna build it all in your own so your it's permissible but the whole thing has to be on your side see also obviously fences could be when you do but someone else could be beneficial in a way so he goes back to this idea that's why it says every place that you actually find we know the opposite direction every time you find again their airflow that there you find holiness that's our condition now what is the kedusha it means even something that's permissible so we have many commentators Thoreau fashion many great rabbis and there's a famous and problem by not Monte's and he explains this idea of the Mitzvah can no shame to you you should be holding of being moderate taking upon yourself and not going to the extreme of that which is permissible just because chocolate cake is permissible doesn't mean you should spend your entire day eating chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream you know I love chocolate so that's not bring you guys come up with any idea on your own take for example your own life your life your own life you're miserable that's the entire day in the bedroom you know so just because something's permissible doesn't make it that you should go overboard so cuz I'll say actually the Gomorrah already it says Kadesh that's my thought the meet our life you should sanctify or as we know separate yourself from something that is already permissible to you and what is the best proof that we can come up with where he comes up for us and that is the Nazir what is the Nazir someone who says I'm gonna be holy I really feel I need to changed my life I want to be sanctified and the way he sanctifies himself he becomes elevated like a come and go like high priest so he's saying he makes a commitment just by uttering the words that I'm not becoming another but if he would say I so he will not be able to turn why he won't be able to get his haircut he won't be able to go to a cemetery there's a lot of restrictions now on him not me but all those things are permissible I mean at least a regular Israeli Cohen can never go to a cemetery but these are things that are permissible and yet the Torah tells us there is a whole concept called the nazir familiar with it so obviously and at the end the truth is he has to bring a sin offer because God doesn't really want that Avenue that's an option he provided this world for you to benefit from and to say I will never work at all for any period of time that would be considered this and that's the same as ways to bring a sin offering anyway so basically God wants us to benefit but he wants us to be moderate he wants us to be moderate so this this person who becomes atmosphere is going to separate yourself from certain things so multi-machine this cover yeah their air but he just repeats the same thing over again so we can really get it into our head then in any place where there's a mentioning of this creating a separation especially when it comes to sexual morality there you find holiness and we have an example by monitor itself meaning the the given the revelation of the time what does it say in Exodus 19 15 I'll teach you led chef your own life is permissible to you not doing someone else's right someone your own wife but three days before the revelation God wants to prepare us in a certain way it's an same thing with a woman you should not be with your husband this is a separation of the sexes in order prepare yourself for this ultimate revelation now I'm not making this up we're reading the same text right you may have seen this you may have not seen it you may wonder why three days before we had a separate meaning that the life is something that's permissible and this is why we're going to be called a go ahead notion at home intention he wasn't just a man it's both men and women we be holding by in the separation and just as another idea brought down you'll find in Leviticus 18 6 so in 18 6 this is actually right before our chapter right it's meeting up it has a lot to do with different relatives that are forbidden to you no man should come meteors any of his close relatives to uncover their nakedness out of the Lord you're right God said the owner al-haram I've tested one person each ish coal coal shall air Pissarro now the word really has to do with flesh like Bucyrus flesh the air is relative meaning that the flesh of flesh the real flesh is your relative that's the worst of all the the long list of different things that one could violate the terms of sexual sexual relations the closer you are the more problematic problematic it is even the rabbi's have the call secondary relationships that they made forbidden it's a rabbinic so there was the closest the the rabbit and the tower tells you and then there's even layers upon layers where the Rattlers came and forbade okay so we're going on look to prove Oologah blows era the word coming close to reveal the making us that's air that really means nakedness but we're going to use it in terms of the forbidden relationship the rights of its don't come close it's the closeness that brings the the forbidden act and what does this with all that we're talking let him get there building up some type of a guard and this is from God this is not for this money to the rabbis so to a coming is not allowed to marry a divorced woman or a prostitute we have a former prostitute or a a woman that was born let's say a common who married a divorcee so comb cannot matter that that dealer but we could meaning and regular Israel could so you see that God Himself separating the contine he made their fences for the carny or her lawn let's just use the concept of a higher level okay high-level service closer to a sham so these things are I just mentioned are really permissible for regular Israelites but the colored needs it's not even her bidding talk about from God he needs that fence to prevent him right even though it's permissible for a regular Israelites because he has or addition he needs to be sanctified for the higher level service that you have now you understand June's have a high level of service it's very nice God gave us many of these restrictions much more than the 705 laws the truth be told that even though there's seven laws there's probably about 200 that are relevant and the 613 for non-jews okay so in non Jew who wants to do the second which is properly can they're probably almost almost all all of the tower there's so much whether it's dealing with court systems and they miss what you do any myths of the seven-day they've been taught what to do it's he has to do it right really do it needs to learn that super bit so the idea that if you ever heard that non-jews not allowed in your Torah it doesn't say that it says an idol worship cannot there talk someone who like worships idols economic because his learning is only to argue and waste everyone's time and try to seduce us away but someone who wants to come close to Hashem and observe as many misses as they can because the idea is to bring it closer to a shame should learn with the rabbi's have specific needs but should be done so they're done right this is they're not done right and that's one of the things that are forbidden for the been dogs to do there's not a lot of creating your religion they either go to the rabbi sirs who were the hair at the revelation to find out what happened clears mud okay so now when the verse says Kenosha TV you that does have an inference of a command you shall be holy and it's actually informing you of this as we read before in the first source on the search and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation that this is a this is informing you of such a thing in other words that was informing you then as well this also is the same you shall be to me thank you so much that is good okay daffodil amicus / who binds Iran so to God action is informing them when he says you'll be a kingdom of priests to be a holy nation God was letting them know what great we were they will have four of these offenses that they make from sexual and routing that through them they will be holding true their God the next piece a little bit complicated but it's the second part of regulation every man your mother and father you shall Revere my sadness you show sir it is all one sense what does Revere and your parents have to do with keeping Shabbat okay so we're going to find out a little bit it's only you know we're learning is just slightly scratching the surface but we'll call it scratching the surface there's so much depth we're talking about that God is infinitely what is on his mind is infinite so when we learn the holy tirado we're learning what one perspective is and I'm not saying that perspectives are infinite their perspectives are infinite according to a shadow okay and each one of us has our own eyes of their own mind but it has to be from Mount Sinai right then we know there's different religions there's reform and conservative judaism there they make up things that aren't there so whatever we compensates the truth it's one perspective of what the open the infinite that god revealed to us but it has to be the truth okay so if we delve and delve deep into the truth and Rashi brings down a famous statement maybe you're aware this but you have a commandment to honor and revere your parents but you also have a mitzvah command to keep Shabbat so what if your parents said to you I want you to break Shabbat so you would probably break Shabbat because you have a commandment to review your parents correct isn't that logical well might be logical but it doesn't work the Rashi tells us I think I brought it down it could be wrong and I did not bring it down but I do have it here so I'll just open up to the Russian I read it to you I'm really I apologize for not having on the source sheet because it is a very important space shall Revere his mother and his father okay it's about that one although this is very interesting and it's worthy of discussion here by Revere it says first what does it say it says first your mother when it comes to fear it mentions first your mother and then your father because it was known before a sham but he created us right all the mechanisms that work on the psychology and all the different emotions that come across you know in our lives he obviously created it was revealed before him that the son Revere's his father more than your years his mother and therefore the verse needs to emphasize revering the mother that's why the mother is put first when it comes to honoring parents okay that's in a different verse I'll tell you where that is you can find that in exodus compass wedding verse 12 and you also find like in Deuteronomy 5:16 so we're taking them it's Kubota at the week of it they ain't back huh honor your father and your mother so when it comes to honor your father's foot first because the sod the son honors his mother more than his father and why you know you can make up anything you want but you got to here with you know Rashi has to say I wonder if this is still true today I'm sure it is certainly my house because she wins him over with Pleasant words right the mother is kinder seemingly then the father okay so the Rashi I wanted to read to you was the next one but I'm glad we read that because it come up later and I'm actually not even sure which Russia so chock-full of good stuff here anyway you and your father both are obligated in honoring Hashem that's why it says do not listen to him to cancel that something else just the whole idea what is the difference between honor and reference reference is withdrawing and not doing certain things holding yourself back for example don't sit in this chair don't stand in this place don't contradict his words what is honor running to greet him at the door help him with his bags giving him food giving a drink no these are positive actions that's honor and the opposite of the fear is the restricting okay I know no one can't find the rush I'm looking for it basically says like this he says if your father should say to you to desecrate the Shabbos do not listen to him so that was what the reference to is there but I did not see it oh here it is okay so the verse says there's a summary shared Shabbat there's a juxtaposition between the law of people of observing Shabbat with a Revere in the Paris question is why so Rashi says to teach you that the reference for one's father is to say that even though I joined you both write about me revering a father if your father should say to you to desecrate the Shabbat don't listen to him so to the truth is regarding other Commandments if your parents are opposed to you being observant okay you do not listen to your parents the questions how do you learn that out how does that so obvious who's not obvious you have the burst through the earth keema keep my shots so happens to be in the yeah cow that would be an exodus 35:2 Rashi explains over there that verse interesting Lee another it talks about Shabbat and then it mentions the building of the Mishkan so we've learned from there whatever comes first is more important and pushes off whatever comes second so Shabbos you keep Shabbos comes you know you're building the big - so when Shabbos comes you stop building the lake - the Shabbos is more important so if we have the principle that the first thing pushes up the second thing with a problem here correct because we just got done saying that you had honor your parents and then Chavez so so according to that logic what do you have you have to listen to your parents and break Shabbat so we learn there's a reason why it's not like that I'm just gonna go back in stories so you had over there in partially after that would be in exodus 35:2 the introduction of Shabbat before the building of the Mishkan before the tabernacle which taught you over there that you don't build the Mishkan you have to stop building the Michigan the Michigan does not push our map and Shabbos pushes off the mystery by the way how do we know what's forbidden on Shabbat because of the 39 creative acts of work that went into building the Michigan which is in our old Torah there's only a few examples of the reasons are such as uniting the flame which by the way a car may be today the these new electric cars about exactly igniting a flame but I think the hybrids the combustible engines for surely are anyway so writing whatever went into creating and building the risk on the creative acts of work so then we know it remember that there's a death penalty for breaking Shabbat so it's really worth knowing what exactly is forbidden to do on Shabbat it's not left for guesswork okay and we lived right for not just it's not just the revelation but we actually live right four hundred years when we came with Israel doubt them without the permission of that temple with Michigan with temple with Preet with prophets and Jewish law and Sanhedrin and then we lived in others four hundred plus years with the first temple second coat the X I was seven the years coming back and in a second that long so we had proper you know we didn't have the prophets for the second time pulling the very beginning but they didn't come and tell us something in other words the proof is in the pudding they also discussed the idea of keeping Shabbat properly okay so obviously the Jews knew what people should watch about was so you have to rely on the long tradition that we've had for well over a thousand years before right the the destruction of the second temple okay so what do we hear from this that we have this introduction anything that introduces the second thing pushes that off but it's going to be different here then why is it good we know that's very different questions why how once we have a principle the principle should be consistent all the way through and it doesn't speak to me assistance here so if you look it says each emo Vavi a man his father his mother and his father it's singular that's how the rich say it in a singular fashion a man his mother and his father have a good Shabbos so but it ends Tirra they shall fear so who's the day okay so that's one thing to think about and it also has at the end of Shaba Tishman real when it comes to Shabbos they shall observe Shabbat so it works out well we think about the word tira who the day shall fear because it would be going on both a male and a female right both a boyet accrual having obligations honor their parents and I think that's why they translated every man meaning every human every person okay but in Hebrew it's singer ie man his mother or father but at the end of the verse it says they shall fear so in its inclusive kind of falls back includes and then when it comes to shoppers and also is plural and includes you might think male and female as well like Rashi says but when it comes to Shabbos however la marked issue Maru Russian Robin why does it have a language of plural to include both male and female well in other words is there really a difference or do they both like so elevated tissue rule he says no that's not going on man Tina because this say each so now when it comes to Shabbos it's talk about the father of the son it's the father of the son that's the kaduche there has to be some novel idea and the novel idea is that the father is son they're both on gated keep Shabbat therefore the father says don't keep Shabbat he's out here to keep Shabbat just like the sun's out of unity everybody has to keep Shabbat so don't think I mean I have to honor my father my let's call down the holy earthly father and the heavenly father we're going to get into the psyche okay that really both of you you had your father you and your head earthly father are obligated in Audrina and theory Doug so why is it specifically Shabbat will you find this lesson in other words it could have been any other Mitzvah but it's usually the Tauri uses this Mitzvah honor and fearing of your parents and leading into Shabbat it could have had any command out of 613 but it uses Shabbat so the question is why is Shabbat used more as an example that any other myths with the turrets get this with this point across and the reason is because the feature table shall miss wiki but I made the reason for the command of honoring and fearing your parents as to what ultimately it's fitting to what to distribute or a portion honor to the one that brought you into the light of existence we'll call that life but it's the lights of existence is it not your father in heaven is it is it he your maker we're somewhat the father nemenyi so how can you not give honor a portion honor to the one who brought you into the world into existence because without him God your father in heaven you would have no existence at all and what is Shabbat that's why Jews are the ones that keep Shabbat meticulously and non-jews can should celebrate Shabbat okay there are carrots it's that applies to them as well but it's a unique gift in its most pristine form for the Jewish people as the verse says it's a sign between me and the names travel this is God's words not mine it's actual sign that I have there's a very unique relationship with Jewish people so what a Shabbos itself represent it reflects and represents the honor that we give to God so that's for everybody everyone can give honor to God because it reflects the idea that there is a creation a beginning right we do what we do have two sets of tablets and we know that the ten complete the cake 2 sets of 10 commandments that one of them says you shall observe Shabbat keep Shabbat why because I've created the world in six days and I rested on the seventh the other set says could you were slaves you also deserve a rest and occasionally ever rest but focusing on the first set that says because I created the world six days and I rested on the seventh day what we're doing is we're recognizing God as the creator of the entire universe existence as we know it but we're saying that there is a creator created in the Latin I don't know Latin I know one word maybe it's two ex nihilo great so now I can write a prescription that I can but I don't like the translation something from nothing because something from nothing means there was nothing there before and then there's something I like to think of it as something that was purely spiritual became like the club energy and matter who's pure energy and it was still energy but part of that energy somehow became matter that's how I like to look at it but we'll use the phrase of he dushala a brand new world okay that's the words he uses meaning that there was a new was created we'll use the terminology something from nothing as opposed to the philosophers who believed that the world was always here always existed and that's going to be the problem the prime problem when your father tells you to desecrate the Shabbos he's saying he's God he's actually saying I created you there's no there's no spirit world it's only being your mother and we got together one night we had some passion maybe it was a love involved and that's how you got here but there's no spirit really there's no creator of the universe there's no God let me just keep the exact amount explain what he means so basically by honoring Shabbat and honoring a shed so you're recognizing that there's this creation a brand new world with God created Shiva shake him see a fish particle or Hawaiian table at the beak on that God brought into the light of existence you and your father and if your father should say to you to desecrate the Shabbos in order to corrupt your hearts to truly your heart to believe that the world always existed and there was no newness there was no creation in order that you should believe that you have no father but him I mean this is maybe only subconsciously your father is saying this but you know anybody who doesn't believe in God tells their children to desecrate the Shabbat they're basically saying ah is really it may be a jump that this is psychologically they're telling you I'm the reason for your existence and all this then he's telling you to desecrate the Shabbat is to entice you to do to go away from God's will in heaven and do his will but you should not be enticed in not listen to him because the truth Hashem he is the father of all of us and you are obligated to go against the will of your earthly father on account of your heavenly father because both you and your heaven you both you and your earthly father are obligated simultaneously to honor her shadow but if your father should say to do any other sin obviously you don't listen to him the whole time that you have your wits about you and that you are ready for these words bhishan bear a Shabbat Cahill photo as long as you are guarding we're keeping the Shabbat properly according to the ha'la'tha and you believe in the renewing of the world meaning that God created the world and because we all share one father this is the idea of the Jewish mission being elected a nation to share the truth this is the truth and Shabbat I don't know if there's any other nation on the world that created I mean I think they said that there was one time at end a week but basically all over the world every civilization has a seven-day week and all comes from the Bible okay there's one God one God that created the world in six days therefore okay therefore there ain't no siree it's a vodka he says the truth is you need to be you don't need to be commanding about all the other ones you've once you command it at all Shabbos then right as Rashi mentions that includes all the other businesses those are not eliciting Shabbat you need to be taught because that is the source of all of our faith our faith is in the idea that is why God created us from nothing right and that's where it all stems from all of our faith and belief and munna regarding this this is why you need to be extra careful when they come to Shabbat you need to be extra careful and that's why we find every place you always find the the Mitzvah of honoring your parents next to the mitzvah of Shabbat that's why you have as we mentioned in action is in the 10 commandments exodus 20 that you have the fourth commandment is honoring your parents sorry I was seeing if I can lose paying attention the fourth commandment is Shabbat and the fifth commandment is honoring your parents so you see the Shabbat comes first before because that falls into the category that's we consistently said when it comes first pushing off the second okay but here's a little bit different for the reasons we mentioned above and now this is going to be really cool that so also Shabbat teaches you about honoring your first father the first father of the entire world and it includes and you read this he gonna Shabbat Myra al-kabun aha I wish I look cold outside that also some body includes this idea of the honor towards your first father of all creation and it includes this juxtaposition as we mentioned now ready for this I know this may sound very for me it may sound very Christian does he look like page 2 of this or she there are three partners in math the three partners in math and who are they we talked about last week that the mother gives the red so she'll give the blood part of them there's the bones that's white so the father gives the light the mother gives the red and who gives the spirit the spirit is coming from God so the street partners in man is the gomorian explains in condition and now I'm going to take this one step further look at the word man I dollars we say Manitoba humankind what's the gematria you have an olive what you have valid which is four and men which is 40 so you have 45 the Komachi of about man is 45 we said the street partners so there's the mother that's ain't I love men I love men is 41 we said the fathers the other partner that's I love BET's off that's three so 41 at three to 44 what are you missing from 45 what so what solid I love always represents God I live one the oneness of a now take a look at the letter Aleph it's like a rub on its side I get an angle and you've two years so what's the gallaccio of two goods and above 26 each good is at ten the bubbler 626 what's 26 do your than a hey and the mother name it's God's name God's holy names you're in a love and a correct there you go so the street partners in mid okay you have the mother the father who gave you your physical but we're not just physical beings we have a spark a piece of God himself he breathed into us the breath of life so this is a great way of understanding keep it after a but how it relates to not just survive but our whole way of looking at a relationship with God okay so before we turn onto the Nexus when I wish everyone an enriched Shabbat [Music]
