Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz: What Exactly Was The Sin of The Spies?

my baby [Music] thank you thank you all for coming and first just want to announce the dedications tonight's share is dedicated in honor of the birthday of Tavares Shore by your husband yaakov all the way in California and yacov sends a special tribute to izacious hail it is a gift from Hashem to be married to Devore Croatia who gives her time and energy her heart and soul to everyone she meets and may they have much much pressure Israel tonight's class has been also sponsored by Mark and Julia Weintraub of Vancouver and the deloya family of Muncie in remembrance of daughter and sister Daniela Esther batsman Mendel ishael Weintraub as well as the mother and grandmother Rita one travel Esther whose yard side's Fallout and 18 and 19 Sivan again May the delivery Tyra be of ili nishmasam and as always we are very appreciative of Thera today this part of this week in Erich Israel is the big big Parsha of the Mirage Lim although there are many other interesting things in the Parsha as well but I want to go back a little I want to go back to next last week both because it will be a hakatama to the miraglam and because of our listeners in North Flores who will talk to be reading in the coming week I know whenever I do that I actually get I don't call it hate mail but people say you live in Irish Israel how dare you you follow the Lord's schedule I do plan on talking about the miraculum too but I want to give you a little hakatama because it's actually to the second half of gamri the public says in Michigan says the wisdom of women build a house get appropriate to the birthday she digs excavates seven columns for the house so the gemara hasn't Russia that the woman is none other than the tairas Hashem that's often called and the Seven problems refers to the idea of the seven who mashem in the Torah so the obvious question is what do you mean seven I thought it was five the word means one-fifth how you have seven says Ah because safer by mid-bar counts as three so you have bracesh vayikra is three but midbor is three that's six and devoriam is the seventh one what are the three books of the book abundant part so it says from the beginning of my binbar until they left tarcinai which was last week is homish number one Hamish number two is only two two but which we say whenever we take out the Torah but he even saw your rain when they are in travels as they were leaving so Maisha said Kuma Hashem arrives Hashem so your enemies will scatter which we say when we put back the Torah and when the RN came to the came to rest Maisha was Miss Pavel Shiva Hashem River by saltha Israel return to the myriads of Amy Israel be much rare number two number three is from the middle of valdostra after those troops took him till the end of my midbar ah the question is what type of what type of Hamish is it just divided into three is Mars bear a very very interesting idea he says let's look at book one and book three and then we'll go back to what book two is book one is the creation of the ideal world envisions an army Israel which is surrounding the Michigan the Michigan which is service of God is the focal point but they're surrounding the Mishka not simply as monolithic people doing the same thing but with different different tribes different to Golem different flags that's a very important you say I think we spoke about it a number of times that the concept of shivatim is that our Voda sashem is not supposed to be monolithic yeah we have a common denominator Tyran Mitzvahs but within the framework of Torah and Mitzvahs Hashem wants there to be individuality and uniqueness and different to Russian that's why every shave it had its own Mahala had its own approach in avoidation so this is the ideal Society the Society of people all of whom look at the mishkan the Avada sashem as the central core of their lives but they do so with diversity and uniqueness and individuality and Rosetta goes on and says that even the three camps of the levim represents the three fundamental principles that Percival says the world exists with three pillars Torah the study of Torah a Voda Divine service of prayer and sacrifice and Camillus hassadim and acts of loving kindness so he says who carries the arena kodesh represents the power of Torah learning and that's why it's called kodeshim the holy of holies uh Gershon who carried on the wagons on wagons because Gus carried it on the shoulder Garrison carried on the wagons the cloths the the tapestries and the wall hangings since that forms the roof of the Mishka we find that the notion that a roof is what makes a building a bias and we find that the term bias is connected to prayer base to Fila so Gershen represents the kawak of tefila and murari that had physically the heaviest burden of carrying the real heavy stuff and even though it was on wagons but they had to load the wagons that represents kindness because the gemara says in sukkah what is the difference between sadaka and said Camila said sadaka you do with your checkbook Camila said you do with your physical exertion so repsaddock is saying the first part of babidbar is painting the ideal world the way who wants the Jewish people to exist in which I vote as Hashem the mishkan is their Center and around that is and around that building on that is the uniqueness of every shaven and even the says You must expel from the camp discharge and the tummy mace without going over all the halachas there what sadok says if the three subgroups of Levy represent Torah a Voda camilaim represent the three negative forces that destroy the world and perkiava says jealousy Lust For sensual and material pleasures and covered the need for ego glorification might see in this Adam and all them they take a person out of this world that means he loses and even his life is miserable says quite logically the Messiah whose primary sin is La Shona and blessing often comes from jealousy right I want to knock you down because I'm jealous of you so Messiah represents the color of Kina the zov is sexually transmitted disease that's taiva too much taiva and Tommy mace is a little more abstract or upsetic argues that death came into the world because of the hate says what made them eat from the eight sadas was the nakash's claima the day you eat from it you'll be like God so it's not like we think it was the smell of the fruit or the taste of the fruit it was the notion that this is talk about the ultimate ego trip someone gives you a pill and says take this pill you'll be because it wasn't true but the the death came into the world because of covet sir of sudark says that means sending out the tame means banish from your Society the negative factors of kinna taiva and covet with Sarah Tommy maze so everything in the first part of my midboard is essentially the ideal world and even though it mentions some of eras like Sota Etc but there too it gives you a way to rectify it a way to fix it they wait to be massaging because Sparkle understands that the world is not going to be perfect so there have to be mechanisms for repentance and mechanisms for rectification so we will look at by mid bar as the the first part of a Midpark as the ideal world the third part of my midboard starting from the middle of last week and continuing this week and the rest of the safer is the sordid reality of life in which everything seems to fall apart in fact the negative reoccur over and over again we started with taiva last week they're not happy with the man the man could taste like whatever they want but they're not happy with it they want meat in fact it even says which literally means they lusted for lust that's what I'm saying that it wasn't even they wanted anything specific they wanted to indulge their type it reminds me always uh Pepsi Cola I don't know if they still have it they used to have a campaign an advertisement that said if you drink Pepsi you can get prizes so it says drink Pepsi get stuff doesn't even say what it is Kamina it doesn't make a difference what it is I just want stuff it doesn't even have to be anything just the idea of acquisition acquisition acquisition so that's taiva the miragelet although there are many many deeper meanings but the zoha there says that part of why the Mirage sabotaged going to Erich Israelis because they thought they would lose their jobs they wanted the cover vote of being in nothing and then next week we're going to read about which of course is exemplary of jealousy correct was not just seeking covet cover was jealous of what Iran had with my Shad Etc so everything spinning out of control it's like you create this Ideal World and then it all falls apart one is the ideal of the ratson Hashem by mid Berkeley week three is the sordid reality of nephema so now we come to the enigmatic book two which is only two person that represents the transition how do you get from the Glorious idea to the sordid reality how do you get into Mars lesson from the Migra Rama from the high roof how does that happen answer because in those two and a little before as well the Jewish people are finally given the signal that it's time to leave harsinai and start journeying in the desert right people don't realize they were in harsinai almost a year Martin was what you know well they had the egg on they had all that but they came to harsinai or mid-barcinai Sivan and they stayed there until the 23rd of year mamish almost and then the Anan The Cloud of Glory started moving it was time to move so it mentions when they traveled from the Mountain of God they did so with a great deal of enthusiasm and the expression that's used is Katina like a child running away from school let's say when it's summer vacation or whatever it is because they were worried they said listen we got 613 myths or whatever Mrs they got at that point truth is a lot of missiles they were given later but we got a lot of Mitzvahs he says the longer we stay here the more mythism will give us Baruch Hashem we can get out of here and of course it didn't work because when I said they got Mitzvahs I mean Maisha got to Mr Sinai but Rene Israel got it over the 40 years but they thought let's get out of here we don't know we're not going to get Mitzvahs so what is mashless what destroys the beautiful potential of Kim is the attitude the attitude that this is a burden for us we want to get out of here now let's take a little further those tubes took him have a very unusual bracketing in the safer Torah itself there's a nun that's a backwards nun either upside down or backwards or both my locusts but upside down and turned over that's before vahib and sawahara and an inverted backwards nun afterwards we don't read it there's nothing to read but I say for Terror has to be written Allah a safe retirah has to be written with what's the significance is very pleasant we find that the letter nun is often symbolic of nephila falling down the most famous sources of course statement in Massachusetts actually from another capital of but but just hey right we say it three times a day so to Hilo the domain is Olive base each verse begins with the letter of the Isle of Base but there's no verse that begins with nun and the next one is right so it skips from mem to samach there's no nun in the beginning of ashram so says why is there no nun in ashrae because none represents falling and failure and defeat as the navi amay said describing Ami Israel begalosis did not want to begin a purse with nephila and therefore although he mentions the words but only in the next one Hashem supports those who fall so nafeel is okay if you have Hashem supporting yeah but that's not now the atmosis that's a well-known Gamora the gemara actually is very very difficult because the emisses ashrae is not the only alphabetical acrost that can tell him there are a lot of alphabetical necrotics and in many of the the other all the other alphabetical acrostics is and even if it's not an alphabetical acrostic they're a time of a kind of sukim in tell them that begin with the nun so it's a bit of you know you have to be my eye and you have to think about this like what is it about ashrae bedafka or to him hey 145 that Governor his markbit not to have nafila but putting that question aside if the known as a Remus of nephila the reason why you have the two nuns is because the teenage the child the attitude of China myself is going to be is going to cause a gavaldiganophila a tremendous downfall as we see in the transition from book one to book three but why is it reversed because the terror is telling you no matter how far you fall you can always change the situation there is no such thing as a nephila that is permanent irreversible irrevocable and bedafka the the moon gets inverted in the sukum that's the of them leaving but they are unleaving to remind you that if you grab on to the kawak of the Torah than the Fila that occurs is a changeable nephila okay and that's a very very important rule that talks about this I mean really all it's a frequency let's talk about it but one over at Southern Oaks big big themes that he talks about over and over again similar although in a very different way uh sort of knock them into the breast liver that a person cannot be miaish a person cannot give up the person has to understand that there's always going to be a chance in fact to go back to another thing from last week I hope I don't get overly criticized for this this is ultimately the lesson of Passage people were Tommy they were far away they go to my surveillance why should we be deprived by gervano asks Hashem and the lekak the lesson of pesachani is no matter how impure You Think You Are no matter how far you think you are from Hashem there is the gift of the second chance a person cannot be Mia yesh to give up he's the greatest has the the uh the third tree look of Tanya Garrison the the letter he wrote about Treva he talks about the fact that the aperture forgives forgives forgives as long as you're sincere in other words even the Gomorrah that says if a person says I'm going to sin because I know all through tuba so it says he won't be forgiven that means a person doesn't really regret what he did he says I'm doing it I'll get Cuba but if a person really really really sincerely regrets what he does Hashem will forgive it a million times in fact they say I don't think this is any Garrison I don't remember seeing anything about they say a word for saying people ask the Kasha you know we dive in the whole Daniel Kipper we finish in the ELA afternoon we go straight to weekday marriage nobody broke the fast yet and we came out of the men are still wearing the kids so in the amida we say forgive us forgive us what did we do wrong we had jump Kipper so some say the kavana the people that have in my room after nailah is so such a weak Cabana because I'm hungry and I want to get home that maybe I'm asking him forgive me for this time thing already but I think the the the authority of the altar rib I don't know where it is that if a person leaves Yom Kippur and feels that they were too sinful to be forgiven that's the biggest height it's a hate that you're not believing in the fact that a college park who forgave you and for that you got to do Cuba aftermkipper if a person doesn't feel right so this is an important idea so again book one of my mid-bar is the ideal and book three of my mid-bar is the failure and the transition is the two sukim which representsu leaving rashem and that's nephila but the nephila is reversible when you connect yourself that the holding on to the Torah will Elevate me in fact they say um they say that this idea that in Mitra I am the famous idea of their resale that in the Triumph the Jews were in the 49th level of Tuma that's the one-fifth that that survived and if we would have stayed even a minute that it takes a few minutes to for the dough to rise we would have hit Level 50 and that's why it says we couldn't wait it wasn't only because pyro was kicking us out we had to leave because we would have hit Char nun whatever that even means so it's brought down in safarium that the notion that once you hit the 50th gate you're irredeemable was only before the terrier was given once the terror was given Tyra can save you even from the 50th level and they darshan they darshan the direct Rush Rabbi yakiva this is often a song that we sing on simchastairah but Rabbi Akiva at the end of Summa describes Israel how happy are to the Jewish people be how fortunate says lift name taharim in front of whom do you get purified um and who purifies you and the answer is 50. listening me when you're not yet at the 50th level you have the power to purify yourself oh me when you've hit 50 otherwise it's just a rhetorical repetition who is going to be right Lifting me a timetable me material okay so once again a person should never should never be be me okay so now let's talk a little bit about the miragulum themselves uh first of all there's an interesting Israel to send maraglam meaning what is the Avira exactly was appointing 12 people to spy out the land was that another so there seems to be a Mac Locus Rashi and the ramban because Rashi says Rashi has a kind of stira as a contradiction Hashem seems to say and yet we read in partial that the people came to Maisha Rabino and they said Hashem or did it come from the people so rashi's approach was it came from the people the people didn't have a Muna the actual asking for miraculum meant they weren't totally confidence in God's promise and when Hashem said he was not saying a Mitzvah he was saying I think it's not a good idea but if you want to do it do it so according to Rashi I'll come back to this the actual sending of the miraglam showed a lack of emuna ramban is very much ramban says sending Mirage is not inconsistence with a Divine promise yes Hashem promised their marriage Israel but their makoyev to engage in reasonable planning they have to have an army even though Hashem will fight for them and part of preparing for battle is to know the strong points the weak points and the ramban brings two beautiful Rayas two beautiful proofs that there's nothing wrong with Shiloh maraglam after the whole mice of the miraculum where the Jewish people are condemned to wander in the desert for 40 at some point Abrahim east of the eye gang Moshe sends miraculim to Mirage there to check out a town called yazir which they conquered much sent out Mirage after the Mirage so obviously there's nothing wrong with military planning moreover later in the book of Yeshua when they've already crossed the yardang Yoshua and of course he more than anybody knows he says so the ramban actually learns there is nothing wrong with sending Mirage it is a legitimate military preparation for battle and even when Hashem promises you Victory you are to do your part in responsible planning the Fate was not the Shiloh of the Mirage the hate was number one the way the miraglan reported it and the way the Jewish people reacted with a lack of emuna that was the height but sending miraglam to give you an objective report of what's a good place to attack Etc is perfectly legitimate now the Emma says the native in his Parish hammock davar gives a beautiful reconciliation in which he points out that both Rashi and the ramban are both correct at the same time as we say a louviel Kim behind the both correct because he says like this he develops he aside that it may have been a sin to need this but once you need it it becomes a Mitzvah in other words he analyzes this in terms of Melech there is a myth from the terrorist to have a king so one of the famous questions is if there's a Mitzvah in the terror if the Jewish people to have a king so why when the Jewish people ask shmuel to appoint a king does shmuel give them all sorts of muscle that Hashem is your king why do you want to flesh and blood king it's sinful how could it be sinful that Cairo says in the midst of Heaven King so says then it says in an Ideal World where you're a Muna and Hashem is very very strong you don't need human rulers but if you ask for it that which you shouldn't have asked for becomes once you ask for it because once you show your emuna is not on that highest level so Hashem in other words the idea is that the less and Muna the less be talking I have in Hashem it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy the more I have to work within the world of Teva the world of nature the greater the amuna the less the ishtadless the lesser of emuna the more of the ishtadas therefore it was sinful to ask for a king but once they ask it becomes obligatory and then it soon brings Iraq from himself an amazing thing Hashem after Hashem decided to depose so he tells shmuel go to yishai and anoint one of his sons to be king so what is how can I go Shaw will hear that I'm going and anointing another king he's gonna kill me how can I go so Hashem said ah the way it's going to work is that this time you're allowed to bring corbanos there's no base I make this yet you're allowed to bring corbanos and bombos private altars so when you go to base let them say you're just bringing a Corbin shmuel but anyway his style was he would travel around different cities and he would bring corbanos so Shoal is not going to think you're going to anoint a king So then he said Master Kasha why does Hashem only give him this piece of advice when he asks Hashem should have told him go to base welcome and bring a carbon Hashem didn't say that God's Sons only when shmuel asks but I'm afraid for my life this Hashem says okay you got to do something so says then it said exactly this your sight again it's hard for us to understand because shemuel was such a great great Sonic but at least at this particular juncture wouldn't have been afraid he could go and he could even make a public thing and nothing would happen to him once he reveals that he's afraid however we understand that Hashem says Ah now we gotta work within nature within nature so you'll make a strategy where Cheryl is not going to get it so says then it said that's how we understand shmuel and that's how we understand the Mitzvah of appointing a king even though it was an Avera to ask for a king and says that it says that is how he understands miraculum Rashi is correct this is a generation that saw the Macos that saw the splitting of the Red Sea uh that every day gets the mind coming down minashimayim it has clouds of Glory they should have said no and Hashem will protect them why are they asking for military strategies and that's why Rashi says asking for the miraculous but once they show that they're afraid they're worried it now becomes active and that's why Moshe later sent miraglim because based on their situation it was that's why Yoshua sent Morocco because the Jewish people were not holding and that's my dragon so Denise is a very interesting peshara a very interesting compromised position between Rashi and ramban right ramban says there was no sin in sending miraglam Raji says there was a sin so the native says there was a sin to ask for it but once they ask for it it becomes the key of it now becomes your measure of your measure of having to work within the world because if you don't accept amuna at 100 basis our Kelly Sparkle deals with you within the more within the boundaries of nature they're very interesting very interesting site okay but now let's go to the actual Avera not the sending of the Mirage but the miraglan were sent they were gone for 40 days they come back on the 8th of us and they recount their story that day and that night the night of Tish above so it says all the men cried and some will talk about the women and that is why tishua became the day of tragedy Hashem you have cried a weeping for no reason this day will be the Bahia the die rice the crying forever and ever and the question is how do we understand this right and it's really a two question how do you understand the miraglim themselves Maestra bainu chose foreign they were righteous people they were great people unless you go with the subway that they said even that's really difficult they were worried they would lose their jobs like what exactly was so number one how could they come back with a report that just puts fear in the hearts of everybody and the conscious also on binay Israel how could they cry how could they not believe I mean the truth is all of us have to believe all the time but but especially that generation that generation saw everything all of a sudden they're not going to believe what's going on so there's a mahalak that a lot of swarms say in different words whether it's reverse the sauce Ms I mean all the difference for him but with this mahalak many go with this as well that the Mirage Cabana was a very elevated kubernet was it and they basically knew that the way Hashem will deal with them in Eric Israel is very different than the way Hashem deals with them in the mid bar in the midboard they are in a spiritual cocoon where they see godliness open and explicit they see Miracles every single day the man Falls Minnesota of the man was also very miraculous number one it could taste like whatever you wanted it to taste like except the onions or whatever but the Derek Cloud you wanted steak you got steak or whatever it is number two the man fell each person according to it was like a daily report guide from Hashem if you were righteous your mind fell right next to you if you weren't so righteous you had to look around until you found it I went straight to Russia compare this to uh you see where boys will go out to restaurants it says if you're at Sonic you eat the Yeshiva Foods right there if not you got to look around for something to eat right it's a similar similar type of type of idea so people ask a question wait a second let's assume I'm not so great and you're a great Sonic and your mind is right near your tents why don't I take your mind if I get up early enough the answer is I didn't see it I didn't see it that's a nice of them on itself you saw what your man was and I didn't see where your mind was I only saw my man so I'm walking and walking and looking and looking and finally I'll I'll see something that's an amazing thing so the man was a miracle the Clouds Of Glory were a miracle the bear the the Miriam's well was a miracle so all of a sudden they don't believe but in the mid bar was open was Gully once they come to Eric Israel there's going to be a different type of relationship with Hashem yes there'll still be God's Providence will be there in fact you never just fell much more than generally but it's there's going to be a tremendous amount of concealment of the Divine you're not going to get one you're going to have to plow and plant and harvest and Thresh you're going to have to have armies you're going to have to build cities you're going to have to have lawyers and accountants and doctors in other words it'll be a world where our country Sparkle was still running it but Hashem will be much more concealed Derek so the miraglim have a tremendous for all of Khloe Israel we're in the midboard we see our kardashbar who every single minute but there we're not going to see the yadashem now if you're not going to see the arashem one of two possible things will happen either you will have the arrogance the gaiva of attributing your successes to your own abilities which indeed the terror warns us many times where a person will say it is my power that achieves all of this that's one way I could go or the other way I could go is I could beat sabrakhan I could be broken I could feel abandoned with us so the Mirage are afraid of life in Eric Israel they're afraid that binay Israel will not be able to sustain foreign in a world where God's presence is hidden and concealed and let me just add something to this it was already known that Maisha rabbano even though she didn't commit his sin of hitting the rock yet but it was already known that Moshe would die before they enter Eric Israel we know this because when it mentions in last week's Parsha eldad and made were giving prophecies and Yeshua says to Moshe arrest them put them in jail so Rashi says what is Yeshua getting so upset about because Elda who made that were saying Moshe mes Moshe will die and yahushua will bring them into Eric Israel so you see the another of you sure you're sure you might think if you're uh Mike Pence or something uh you know you might be happy someone's no Trump is out of the race so Mike it's the other way around yahushua doesn't want to be a leader I sure would rather have major evangels leave so imagine this from the perspective of the Mirage we're going to go into a different type of existence where our College Sparkle is going to be concealed we're going to lose a nice European is let's stay in the mid bar a little longer it's like I'll give you a simple dimion uh in fact these are questions people face every day a guy is learning in Kyle a guy is learning Tyra full time schtag and growing entire Romance but there comes a time that he has to support his family so he has to enter the Working World but he's so scared of entering that working world the Torah is not going to be intense they'll be secular and negative influences people will be dishonest so a person might say I need more time in Kaila maybe I'll squeeze another year another six months it'll build me up it'll give me Reserves so the miraculum are actually saying to the binay Israel you're going to be facing enemies and challenges you know we're not on that madrega yet we need more time we need more time with the man we need more time with my sharabane we need more time to internalize the the Providence of God so that when we come to Eric Israel we will have such a vivid memory of that that we will see the man even in the regular grain that we planted and grew so seen in this way the gazera that the generation would wander in the desert for 40 years was not necessarily totally a punishment it was exactly what they wanted they got my sharabena for 39 more years they got the money for all of those experience yeah and of course they died I mean that generation died and didn't enter but they actually got the experiment that they wanted now so number one the problem is Hester Panem right the concealment of the Divine and number two that inherit Israel they're going to have to be involved in the goshmias of the world the physicality of the world the materialism of the world and as we mentioned last week they felt there would be greater kadusha if we keep away from this right so this is a general mahalech of the khaitama Ragland and this explains a very very interesting interesting thing we know that Maisha Albano did have a sense that things would not turn out well so he was Miss parallel for yahushua that yahushua should not be dragged down and that's why yahushua's name his original name was Jose but Moshe added the Earth so the yield and the hey is the name of Hashem may God save you a miracula from the evil Council of the Mirage now we know that there were two morogland that remained righteous yahushua and Khalif so why does maiserable only pray for Yeshua and Maisha doesn't pray for Cutlass now let me give you another interesting observation when the Mirage Lim give their report about how bad it is we're not going to be able to defeat the enemy so Yeshua and Kali fall on their faces indeed but the only one that speaks up is call life yahshua is strangely very silent very very silent so there are two classes about Joshua number one why is Maisha Miss parallel for Yeshua not Khalif number two why is it called life that protests and Yoshua and that the answer is both conscious have the same answer if the Russian horror of the miraglam is without Moshe we're not worthy to experience a world of physicality and materialism and Hester upon him who is the most likely to feel that inadequacy that's Yoshua Yoshua had to fill the biggest shoes in history Yoshua was the replacement for the greatest Navi whoever was and will ever be Yeshua especially is prone to the insecurity of taking on this task so much if the marathon are going to make the argument that without Moshe in the world of physicality and that's their concealment you will not be able to navigate it it's going to affect yehoshua more than anybody else that's why yahushua needed the strengthening and even with moshe's robinus Villa Yoshua had on some level a moment of weakness where he he was not able to rebut the taina of the miragla the time of the miracula was without Moshe were nothing Yoshua couldn't speak up that moment color you've had to do it right this is uh all of a getter so as is always the case you know whenever you you explain something by taking what is a hate and showing there were such high elevated Cabanas so now you have a question so what's the sin right what is the aveira uh if the miraculum is such a legitimate specimen we need to be in Carlisle much longer we need to be in the modern environment we need to have major Albano so the answer is Push It as is always the case a person can have many many calculations but if Hashem gives you a job and Hashem gives you a mission you have to believe that he will give you the ability to achieve that mission one way or the other so part of the fate of the miraglim was not only a lack of a Muna in Hashem but a lack of emuna in themselves belief you will have the power to do what you need to do even without a bunch of Romaine believe it because I wouldn't give you the mission if I didn't give you the co-host the power of the tools and indeed this ties into a very famous fort the enigmatic cutscure when the Mirage described they very fearsome Giants that they encountered so they described them we were in our own eyes as if we were grasshoppers and so we were in their eyes so says the cutscar at me it starts with you you look at yourself as a grasshopper you look at yourself as a nothing you look at yourself as a person without abilities that's how you will be perceived but what happened we talked about this last week I think also of course of course a person has to be humble a person has to be modest but a person cannot use this as an excuse a person can't say oh I'm a nobody I'm in nothing that's a yay Sahara because then a person says I'm not capable of anything so why would Hashem care about my midst my learning you know I'm a nobody the answer is you're not a nobody you're a somebody that those are the two pockets right in one Pockets said I am Dustin ashes but in the other Pockets because of me the world was created Hashem made many cows and dogs and and goats and and cats only one man one woman so each person has to feel this whole universe is because of me I could change and benefit and Elevate and transform everything for good or for bad right so that's the notion of the khaitama so again a lot of different themes converge here number one have faith in yourself number two know that if Hashem gave you a task you'll be able to complete it number three don't be afraid of your confrontation with the physical world that through Tyra you could sanctify the physical and material don't think your connection to Hashem is only when it's totally spiritual like in the midboard but even when you are involved in the material world you can sanctify and elevate and that's kind of what the story of the miraglam teach us uh one other nakuda about the miraglim uh that that I want to mention is an interesting horror of the ramban you know is Miss parallel that Hashem shouldn't destroy everybody right away spread it over a long time so Maisha ravenu uses the familiar theme of Hashem that if you destroy the Jews in the desert the will say you did not have the power to take them into arith Canaan and defeat the Canaanites so you kill them off so you wouldn't be defeated by them coming directly this is uh normally described as The Silo Hashem argument the desecration of God why will the guy I'm saying now the emiss is by the egal by the sin of the golden calf Moshe had two arguments he made the same argument if you kill them in the desert uh people will say you didn't have the power okay but he made another argument remember the Covenant remember the promise you made with avram yitza kanyakov you promised you would give their their children are rich Israel how can you abrogate your Covenants so this is called bris of ice the Covenant of the others so the ramban points out by the federal egal Mosher avenu used both Shiloh Hashem and brisovas by the maragling he only uses he doesn't use bracelets like why doesn't he mention by The Mirage remember what you said so since the rampant a very interesting thing you can only invoke the others if you live a life that is consistent with what the others believed in it's like La Marshall the famous old joke about the definition of is the person who kills his parents and then asks Mercy from the court because he killed he's now an orphan by the way this is an old joke that's at least like 100 years old but Lamesa in recent trials some kids have actually made that argument they said you know they killed their parents and we're all alone in the world right so so the Christmas sometimes actually happens but the idea is how can you say what I should have Rahman that you're an orphan you killed but you didn't even care about your parents so the same thing if I ask Hashem Remember avra music and Yakov but I reputed everything I've written Yakov stood for I can't come to Hashem and say remember the other so the ramban says although the eagle was of course a tremendous Avera it was not a repudiation of the others because the others were Mommy and Hashem and making the ego we also believed in Hashem but we thought we needed an intermediary so which was a mistake but it was not a kefira it was not a denial of God so therefore Maisha could still bring up the merits of the others but by the Mirage Lim where they showed that they didn't believe uh in the in the in the gift of Eric Israel since the others had such a love of Eric Israel when you repudiate what is a central you sowed of the others you are no longer in a position to invoke this is what the ramban says that's why Maestro obeno only used the Hashem argument of Lama he did not invoke the arguments of bris of ice you're actually not the same but right now we're not going to do it is the Merit of the others is the promise of the office so technically they are different concepts I think Mara says the Merit could run out but there's still a covenant okay so I just want to end with a very very a short thought and that is it is yadua that although the entire generation anyone that was 20 years old at the time of The Exodus died in the desert but we are told that the gazera was not made on the women just as the women did not sin with the golden calf the women did not sin with the faith and this is illustrative of the notion that their level of both their Muna and love of Eric Israel was greater than the men in fact that's why also had great love for Eric Israel so I just want to explain that based on the idea that we mentioned tonight that part of the fear of the miraglim was confrontation with a material world would take them away from God you see that women are actually better able to deal with the world of materialism there's an interesting my route this is a famous gemara that anyone that's either been to a Chevy practice or had a Chevy breakfast you know knows the schemara that we have ishvisha man and woman so the ish has a yud and the Isha has to hey yud and hay is God's name so it says oh if there's God in the marriage man is man woman is women everything is good take Hashem out of the marriage it becomes a destroying fire each one will destroy the other one my famous famous that is recited uh well uh I'm not it's not recited every show of breakfast but for it within a week of it's it's almost 100 certainty that it's going to be said probably more than once so all of this is good but the question that morale asks is why does the man get the Yoda hashem's name and the women get the hay of hashem's name right yes the name of Hashem but the man gets the yard the woman gets the Hang so morale says tells us that you'd represents Olam the world of spirituality because yud is the least material of any letter because it's the smallest so you would represents rooknius spirituality now hey he says is a composite of a dollar and above visualize the hey um that's what he says now dalid represents pure materialism because we talk about the four directions or even the four dimensions of matter length width height and time and it wasn't only Einstein that said time is a dimension of matter himself say it so dial it so if yod is pure rookness Darwin is physicality and if a hey is a yud in a dialect it's the ability to sanctify and Elevate the physical so the morale says men are not so good in that because a man becomes makoko when he's involved in the physical world you get testosterone you get competitiveness uh you know so so we need a base measures I need to get away from that rat race I need to go to show I need to go to the base mattress because when I touch olum I get dragged down so a man kind of serves asham primarily through the yud a woman's unique is that she could take the unit spirituality and bring it into the physical now what's interesting is the spirituality within physicality will often be less intense because when you're simply sitting and learning and you're totally away from the world you're Nirvana right you can reach high madriguez when you have to change diapers or or whatever it is it's it's harder to have the intensity of feeling so you go from a from a from a yard to a hay But ultimately that's the higher highest madrega So based on the morale I'm just I'm just being most of I'm just adding a Para that that might explain why women had less of a problem than men because if the men are afraid that in the world of physicality we're going to be dragged down is precisely the women who understood that you can bring the urge even into the dalit to make the hay and therefore they would be able to confront the physicality so nashem did not sin with the ego they would not finish also there is uh makira's that shave it lady that was not clear from the hummish but there is that all of shaved lady uh were not niklao in the gazera of the Mirage of course there was no spy from shaved Levy but even as a tribe they were not Nick show and I should say maybe I'll say this for another talk there was at least one sheeta entice this you know if you take 600 000 men that had to die over 40 years on an average on an average it's 15 000 a year so according to some is entices the very last year the 40th year Hashem gave a freebie and the last fifteen thousand did not die now it's very very fair because the terrorist says there was no survivors other than Yeshua and Khalif now you're adding another 15 000 people but there is such a sheet that entices so there may be more survivors than we thought but at least him I would suggest it was because they're better able to deal with the integration of materialism and spirituality okay so wish you all a wonderful Shabbos and uh [Music] hey everybody [Music]
