single-handedly responsible for bringing me here this evening this is many many weeks and months in preparation to secure the right location and the right time and secure all the right individuals to make this happen versus foreign last time last year I spoke before Purim and now I'm here before akanika and we know there's a commonality between Purim and Hanukkah these are two Yaman and I would like to begin this evening by examining a few details of the alhamdisim which by the way who wrote the al-hanisem LA Nissim is between the Cowboy and the roike exactly how many words are in alanisim whether they're 124 words in alanisim or 125 words in alanisim but everybody agrees it was written by 125 and either he wrote 125 words communion or he wrote 124 words one less than shimai and the San Jose and there's an expression in the alanisim which is very difficult in allenism we say that to the miracle of Hanukkah you performed and you created a great name in your world and for your People Israel Israel you made a great salvation and Redemption as of today what does that mean as of today it's not happening that's not tomorrow and it's not yesterday foreign now where do you find the pairs of someone cloga on the scither it's in the rabiac of emden Center but it's not in the old print Center but there is an intermediary print of the rabiac of emden sitter which basically you can't really get where it's printed and there if someone asked this question and another very important question is talking about the miracle of Purim and the gemara asks you know the main figures in the Purim story Esther where are they alluded to in the Torah so the gemara asks what about Hanukkah what about Jason what about all the great Heroes of Hanukkah why does the gemara not seek to find an illusion to the great personalities of Hanukkah and the Thai why only Haman martikai Esther why not in makes a very interesting comment Sigmar says why is Esther compared to Ayala sashahar to the morning Stars what peric is that in to heal him what 22 remnil koala for my good friend from Earth Israel and from Boston he was one of the first pioneers on our trips right we went to soccerchef together Esters compared to the Morning Star that just like the morning Stars the end of the night Esther is the last miracle gamer asks what do you means last miracle chanukkah came after Purim says the gamara we're talking about miracles that you're allowed to write you can't record chanukkah Hanukkah is not recorded why not why can't Hanukkah be recorded what's the problem recording Hanukkah it's as if Hanukkah cannot be in the written text foreign this is a question I never thought about until this year and this year I've learned how much with Rashi in the past this year I said okay when I learned I'm going to bring with me a pen and a paper it changed my life because whenever you learn you always have Horrors you have thoughts you have but then two minutes later it's started to write down this Kasha is such a good question it's the best question you ever heard it and if you don't agree then don't say anything this is this question out of this world so there's this big V Club there's a big conversation thing taking place uh about the first shedoch in history is not there he sent the shotgun so you imagine Elias are sitting on one side of the table and on the other side of the table you got your uncle lovan and there's a big conversation thing taking place and your uncle says to elieza noo why don't you have a little Challenge and we know what was inside that challenge and Elias said let's talk first and because I'll say the malach came and started repositioning the food and all of a sudden in middle of the conversation so just imagine Elias just once on the table you had basuel Straight Ahead Lavan and the mother all of a sudden right he kills over he's dead so now what happens the conversation continues like nobody's business so they said they they say let's call Rifka to see if rivka wants to marry the guy so they call Rifka in they say Rifka you want to marry the guy and rufka says I'm gonna go even if you don't let and they said maybe keep your hair a couple months maybe keep her a year and she's like I'm going now and they send her away meanwhile he's dead on the floor the man is dead on the floor could we get can we find out did they call the cover kadisha did they put him in the closet do they put him under the rug did they put a bag over his head I mean he the Father the main the main decider or whether the daughter is gonna go through with the Shiva he's lying there dead on the floor was there a hesfid was there a Shiva did they call Miss ask him what was there a Tara the father died could you tell me what happened to him not it continues as usual as if nothing happened well he's lying there did they ever remove him is he still on the floor now maybe you could maybe maybe that would be a nice teal we'll go to Haram to see basuo on the floor what happened to him maybe they say they should have said you know what Ellie is there before we continue with this conversation let's have a moment of silence for the dead father no continues like nothing happened what's going on over here I have another Kasha this week's Pasha mean s to Haram and the posix says he's headed to the harabayas and he passes by the harabayas and he forgets tadavin and he says he heads back and jumps toward him [Music] foreign [Music] he was learning do you know how many rashes there are in Hamish the Rashi says now let's make a calculation based on the life of Ishmael it comes out we're missing 14 years so what happened to those 14 years says Russia must be yakovina was learning Rashi says this at the end of Rashi sells this in tall days shouldn't there be a posse in Hamish that says shouldn't we have a puzzle that says learned for 14 years by the way ramosha Feinstein asked this Kasha and he says from here we see the great you saw it last night we were by the cover of review says if you learn a lot of Torah don't give yourself credit that's what you were created for where do we learn that from from the fact the toy run never says that Yakov learned of course he's learning do we need to say he was breathing do we need to say that he was alive if you're alive but still it's a question why every time the tire refers to the 14 years of yaakov learning in Shiva chamber it never says explicitly he was learning it sort of jumps through hoops so that you have to figure out well he slept here but he didn't sleep somewhere else Ishmael lived x amount of years from there we could figure out yakovina was learning for 14 years in Yeshiva shame ever is there something wrong to say that somebody is learning I mean I would think that's complementary of yakovina why can't the Torah say explicitly he was learning so the best question you'll ever hear was what what's with tarach how could it be the man just died and the story continues exactly and what about this is a second best question you'll hear so asub is looking all over for yakovina now where does yaakovino always stay where does he the man is in Yeshiva day and night that's what he did his entire life he never went anywhere else yaakov didn't go bowling yaakov didn't go to you Lim or anywhere else he was in Yeshiva he was Yeshiva shame Yeshiva Eva so where exactly is it yourself looking for yaakov that he can't find him where are these makaimas that Ace of is searching for Yahoo you know I I searched everywhere hey ASAP try Yeshiva shame ever oh I didn't think of that where did he think yaakov would be that's where jacobino always was he never went anywhere else why can't ASAP find yaakovino Tienda says she says what do you mean Tarak didn't die yet who remembers how old was Tara when Abraham was born he's 70. how old was avraham when Abraham left haran 75 that makes Tara 145. how old was Terracon Terrace 205. so why did the Torah kill Tara 60 years before he died no he didn't he didn't die yet he's still gonna live another 60 years says Rashi it's true Tara who's still alive but the Torah couldn't write that Tarak was still alive and have people think that tarek was still alive because then people are gonna ask yaakov avinu left an aging dying father at a hundred at 205 years that abramovino left his father how could he leave his aging father that's not nice of avrah mavino so what does the Torah say the Torah says Tarak is dead and therefore nobody's gonna have Akasha how could Ava mavino leave his father because people are going to read in the Torah that Tarak died and people can say oh avraham only left after Tarak died are you familiar with this match do you remember the smashy so Rashi says Tara had died even though he was alive so people don't criticize abramovina so imagine you're living in Mesopotamia and abramovino books and you knock on Tara's door and you say Tarak where's your son avram says avraham left and you're about to think you know why would avraham leave an aging father but then you open up the Schottenstein edition of the Hamish and there it says avraham left Tarak when Tarak died so you look at Tarak and he's alive and breathing but then you look in the shotenstein and you see that he's that Tarak is still alive that Tara died so he said okay even though it looks like Tara is alive but it says that he's died so he must be that dead so you say I'm so sorry that you died have a great day have a life what's going on here people got their news from Hamish there were there were people who were alive in the time of tarach they saw the man is still alive they see avraham forsook him and there was no homish back in the time of tarach to begin with so what's Rashi talking about so that nobody criticizes Abram that Abram left an aging father the Torah wrote that Terrace died who exactly is going to criticize that from we're going to criticize Abram we're not going to criticize him the people who were alive in the times of Hamish they didn't have the Hamish and if they had the Hamish how are they going to reconcile the fact that Tarak was breathing with the text of the there's another Rashi next week's parasha by Isla does the Torah ever record the death of rifcoy Maino no doesn't say anywhere that riflemano died it says coming back to Arts Israel and that [Music] isra died so rash is bothered a lion someone else died besides Rifka says Rashi who else besides divira who else died besides the Vira rivka and slashy why doesn't the terrorist say that Rifka died says Rashi the Torah hides the fact that rivka died so that nobody curses the womb that produced Ace of this way nobody knows that Rifka died what's actually talking about so you're living there in an ancient the ancient lands of the Hebrews and you're walking down the street and you see them carrying the coffin and you say who's inside rivka and you're about to curse no but the Tyro doesn't say she died so therefore it therefore what you see that she's not alive of what relevance is it that the Torah doesn't record that Rifka died the reality is she's not alive so what do these rashes mean what's Rashi talking about the Torah says Tarak died even though he didn't so no one criticizes avraham but everybody knows Tarak is still alive everybody know rifko dies what what is Rashi talking about so let's talk about the following question what's the most important Concept in the Tyra the most important you Sawyer in the Torah foreign that this world is a corridor before the world to come that this world is a preparation a hallway before the great palace how many times is that you said spoken about in the Hamish how many times does the Torah talk about it's not mentioned Tara doesn't talk about why doesn't the Torah talk about automaba that's the your side there's a very simple answer the answer is what is the Torah the tire is the blueprint of reality the Torah is the architectural plans of creation so if you hired an architect and then you came to the building and you said hey Mr architect why is there no basement in the building why didn't the builders build a basement and then you look at the architectural plans because it wasn't drawn up or if you wanted a den and you see no den was built and then you look at the plans and there was no den in the plans you understand why it wasn't built the Tyra is the architectural plan of reality whatever is in the Hamish is an open reality whatever is not in the Hamish is not in perceivable reality the Republic deemed that it is not possible for a human being while alive to see and recognize and perceive and therefore cannot be in the hummus because if it's going to be in the Hamish then I in rasa but the image they want some once that we should not be able to see with our human eyes so it can't be spoken about openly in the text whatever is open in the text is open in reality what's not an open in the text is not open reality doesn't mean it doesn't exist could be spoken about in a touch of our pet could be inferred it could be implied whatever is implied is in a more concealed reality whatever is stated isn't an open reality so therefore oil on my ball is not spoken about because it's not perceived openly that's the side of the zayara alma how did the Revenge some create the world enough explains the emotion opened up the text and he read beratious like him and he said the words and the RS appeared and they bought some created parents through the midst of keep it of aim and the abusum created as Raya through the midst of villain and then created a goof through the midst of cities and then created Birds to the midst of cane the Torah creates reality whatever is not in the toy Road ever is not spoken is in a more concealed state of reality says [Music] yaakov never died yeah but we're going tomorrow to tomorrow are you coming by the way you're coming very good thank you we're going if yaakov is Loy mace so what are we going to tomorrow for why does Jacob have a cover says no mikroni I didn't say he didn't die I darshana pasok yeah what's the next Camino whether you said he died or you darshan apostle that he that he didn't die the answer is if you say that he didn't die then you're gonna see him walking down the street but if you douche in a plastic that he didn't die then of course he died in open reality there's just a hidden concealed Dimension which we don't perceive that yaakovino didn't die there are different dimensions of toy around the different dimensions of reality and the different dimensions reality correspond to the different dimensions of the Torah all right today we have this clutch to visit the strausser and then this I lived in 1904 came ravitzilla petterberg 1906 run that totally Amsterdam born into this was what I'd like to share with you now is a major offering of simple based on this principle of a stock Gilbert Alma you know we have in parashasra two upside down nuns and we have two sukum there between the upside down nuns and 85 letters and the gamara wants to know what exactly are these upside down nuns and the gamara basically says that it's it's to teach that it's there it's to teach that it's out of order it's out of order and the gemara says that really what happened were three consecutive perennials one after another after another first the peroneus of ayeshem that cloudy so ran away from her Sinai Katina Cabaret from eBay and then the peroneous of the head of the Messianic and then the puranias asapsov and the ramban explains that in reality there were three peroneous that happened back to back to back they did occur back to back to back however the Torah did not want to record it back to back to back because if the toe would have recorded it one after another after another we would have a status quo a presumptive status that we always sin so even though it happened three consecutive Ave rice the Torah would not record it that way so that we would not be puranias who cares how it's written but it happened one after another after another so what if it's not recorded that way and the answer is as follows that the Torah was not given specifically in the year 2448 the Torah existed 1 000 Generations before the 26th generation it's covered civil lfdar the tar existed 974 Generations before Bria Salam and for 974 Generations if you look at number 18 the Revolution was deuteration and then he said it says anything established in the Torah images if somebody would move one letter of the Torah out of its place the entire world would be destroyed what does that mean why would the whole world be destroyed if somebody moved one letter out of its place so imagine if you're a physicist and he went to a laboratory and you said you know I just want to see what's going to happen if I take that electron and I just move it over ever so slightly you could blow up an entire continent because the atom is the building block of the world if you tamper with matter on that fundamental level you could destroy the entire world it's the same thing with the tire the tire is even more fundamental than an atom if one letter of the Torah deviated was moved one iota to the right or one iota to the left the entire world would cease to exist you remember the command Magilla zigmar tells us that you understand began to reveal the targum what's Allah gemara the entire world shook whatever part of the Torah should be revealed must be revealed whatever part of the Torah is concealed must be concealed reality is not what happens reality is what it says in the document if it exists in the document it exists in reality if it's not in the document it does not exist says ASA was looking all over for yaakovina and guess where he checked first he checked these Shiva shame Behavior and he went to yaakov's seat right over there and he looked at the seat but yaakov wasn't in the seat why is he not in the seat because the Torah spliced out of the document that yaakov was learning we could figure out he was learning we could infer that he was learning we could be madaic that he was learning but if it's taken out of the architectural plans it is not perceivable by anybody was learning a difference couldn't find him so how did yaakov hide by being so beloved attack of this was willing to change the text of the document to hide that Yaga was learning and now it is no longer knicker by any basavadam and you could have been alive in the year we're going back now a little bit before your time Adam was born in 1948. so now tarach is 140 years later so we're a little bit you know in the year 2100. and uh you're looking at with your binoculars at your friend terock's house and you think you see Adam ravino leaving terra's house so you're not going to tear out the door and tell says yes what's going on and you're wondering why would terak's son leave an aging father and you're about to criticize avrah mavino but it doesn't Dawn on you that avram left a living Tara why not because the Torah says Tarak died and therefore it is not perceivable in an open reality the life of terraq to those who are alive and interacting with him at that time who says that [Music] if it's not in the text you can't see it you can't recognize it you can't perceive it says died so why doesn't anybody criticize her at the levia because nobody even knows she died you know the ramban goes so far as to say that nobody came to her funeral yaakov didn't come ASAP didn't come says it is not recognizable that she died so let's come back to the best question you ever heard so you're bad you're still sitting there sitting there at the table they're discussing the shidaq and Elias is on one side and love on imbecile are on the other side and all of a sudden gently Keels over does anybody scream hey hat solo revive him no why not how does the conversation continue business as usual because the Torah does not say that the Sewell died it says and therefore to the a neighbor to the human psyche as difficult as it might sound that that's what occurred this is the ish if it's removed from the open text it's not perceivable by any but by the way it's more than what it says and what it doesn't say it's also about when you say it let's say Monday yesterday we were in by the foot of Carmel and you have there the Kura of some of the baliatosis you know that was the third greatest of all three shinen who is the greatest of all the reshinen what Robin yeah people listen to the shoe I'm very good Rabino town was the greatest of all the reason the rush doesn't Ferris shine who's number two three says the rush who's number three rib shimshan of chance this is he wrote the Persians run and Taurus and come out all the ptosis in our Museum on on his you say those very next subscription is forced to debate Nicholas dhanan when there were accusations against the talmud and they burnt the talmud in 1240. they burned 24 cart loads of talmud so they made a sheilaim why is it happening so it was said in the was happening so they made a Tinus every Friday parishas says the fact that you read hookahs the next day was guirin a gazeera against the Torah the day before so it's not just what it says in the document affects and changes reality it's when the document is read affects and changes reality cause of lupland says that every time you read Parish says boy there's a horror of pesach because since it talks like it's used in its rhyme it creates the pesach and when you read about Mountain Toyota there's a heart of Lewis that's why it's suggested that antisheba of what are we laying on Tish above morning but that's the Parish of that week exactly because if you would lean any other parashah on Tish above let's say you would Lane pastures boracious then on powershop Inspirations if there's a there would be a horror of Tish above and we don't want to have another because anyway that's the week of USANA so when something is read in the Torah affects what happens that time of the year and if it's not in the Torah that means it's not programmed into creation you ready for this think about wants to know Purim had to happen Purim was a decrease as of against will be destroyed but they'll always be Claudia Israel so they'll always be cloudy Israel there has to be a person so therefore doesn't ask but there has to be a Purim against the physical entity of classical there didn't have to be a Hanukkah didn't have to be a chanukkah yeah that's right what caused Hanukkah writes they were an Israel they came to Shoal but they came a little late then Earth Israel nobody would ever think of bringing a phone into a basic in SS now so there's no such thing and in America probably there's also no such thing but there are other planets maybe in the in the in the Milky Way where people might think of bringing a phone into the base that can access but then they remember it that's why the yvonim came and shut down the base that makes us because said you're more interested in something else other than Fila close it down I don't want it at all that's what happened by Hanukkah they came to the base they were just in this Rashel in the avoid down the base of they were they were interested in Fila but they were also interested in their phone sashem said if you're all so interested in the phone just take the phone and look at your phone but I'm not giving you the base to make those did not have to happen because we brought in on ourself says Osama cloaker and since we brought it on ourself didn't have to happen and it's up to us to get it back it's our Christ to get it back and we might get it back and we might not get it back and it's up to us the back rights to be avoida and then we'll get it back Hanukkah was not programmed into the Bria and therefore there's no remnants we were the ones who were and we're the ones who will be mechase and it was totally up to us every other miracle was part of the program Hanukkah was created by the Jewish people and therefore it says the film a clover by the miracle of Hanukkah he says by every other Miracle tonight his neck separatus so it's who did a miracle Tosh am is it happened today it was never decided before it happened on that day said you want it you create the miracle that's the fundamental difference between Hanukkah and Purim this is all based on your side is to the level that something is to that level Something exists in the open reality to the level that it's not written openly it doesn't exist Purim was a foregone conclusion foreign but Hanukkah was low in Italian it cannot be written down it was something that was created by clally Israel and because of that it's Yeshua says the next time you open up and you read the words first of all how careful you have to be with every detail and minutia of halacha and the words of the Torah and the words of Ghazal because if you move it one iota macal calculi but we also see something very great about the other sakadoshan say that if one detail of the Hamish if we would move out of place the whole world would be destroyed think about what did to save the life of Jacob avino the Abundant was willing to tamper with the text just to protect yaakovino from Asaf think about how is willing to change the text just to protect yakovino is there he slept but do you download this is the great Matana that color spark who gave us and through our Lima Torah then says literally the plastic means so says your creator means who creates the world who affects the world who controls the happenings of the world Claudia Israel who is lloydmate Torah that through this blueprint that is given that is nimsar to claudi Israel we control the destiny of the world not everything that happens is pre-programmed into the Torah there's certain things that were nimsar to us that's the the miracle of Hanukkah to be able to access the great kayak and the Great kadusha and the great energy of tercenaissance for me birthday [Music]
