Remedy for Salvation with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

anybody [Music] Shalom everybody welcome back to the urban abatement Josh welcome home to Torah a very very warm welcome home to Torah we are starting a new book in Deuteronomy the volume and uh I have to tell you for those who have never watched us before don't know what is going on we're using the clear car as the basis for our discussion and we encourage you to learn the Hebrew to follow along in the Hebrew so down below in the description box there is a link where you could find the Hebrew sheets follow along and the Clear Car always deals with very fundamental concepts and subjects in Judaism and tonight is not an exception so one of the famous questions I mean like I'm going to ask this question you're going to say of course not does God hate us of course not but guess what we said when we were in the desert so Deuteronomy is a lot well first of all it's all motion speaking from himself however of course God is the one who decided and agreed to what goes into the book but this is Moses is reaching out to us 30 plus like like five weeks before he dies he's giving us rebuke he's giving us the strength the character the encouragement the love that we need to carry on going into the land of Israel and uh one of the quotes that Moses has said Moses says in actually chapter 1 verse 27 I'll just read it now it says you slandered in your tents you slanted in your tents and said because of hashem's hatred for us did he take us out of the land of Egypt we said that God Hates Us does he really hate us well we said it does that make it a fact well we're going to find out okay so let's begin we're actually doing the latter part of verse um we'll call it verse one for that matter so let's read the whole verse Israel that these are the words in which Moshe spoke to all of Israel in the specific place right then on the other side the Jordan in the wilderness of Arava across from the the sea Bain Paran now this is the importance is Bane between a place called Paran and between a place called toethil have it's almost like triangularation like where were we when Moses spoke to us so I want to give an introduction to what was actually said in the previous Clear Car in other words we're starting you know one and a half pages in so there are some main points that I want to just fill you in that Moses was hinting in the pre about previous sins this is a new generation about to go into land of Israel but for 40 years we were in the desert and we messed up a few times and Moses is there to correct us to show us love and compassion and show us the correct way some of these places you'll see don't really exist as places in the Tanakh yet they are hints and they refer to the sins that we did while we were in the desert because this is one of the important ways of giving rebuke one of the important lessons of how to give rebuke is do it with honor and respect and in a hinting style hopefully with the person himself will understand you're talking about him you ever go to a class or say a rabbi speaks and maybe it's a Friday night service and he's speaking or it's a class and he's looking at everybody and he's giving a class and he's speaking harsh words right directives each person on their own feels or believes the rabbi speaking to him or her but at the same time they're not they know that nobody else knows it's just they in their own head is thinking and realizing oh with the rabbis talking about actually I needed to hear and I know that he's talking to me but the rabbi is doing it with such respect that the person feels not embarrassed right they don't feel embarrassed because they know that he didn't mention their name he's not looking directly at you right it's one of those things where you just have you feel there's like some ruach there's like the holy spirit is on this Rabbi who is giving you what you need to hear it's exactly what you know you need to hear well that's one of the ways that's one of the best ways to give rebuke so you don't embarrass or put the other person in a place where they're going to rebel and kick back okay so some of these places we'll see soon in Rashi didn't exist they were just code names for sins uh just another idea we brought up in the last class was the first two verses are addressed to Israel it's only in verse three it says that God addressed binay Israel so if that's the case who is Israel and who's been Israel so Israel are those who are like Israel meaning yaakov that sadiqi the leaders and that's why that was more in a hinting fashion believe it or not because they can take the tokah but they have to be still given with respect and they weren't actually guilty of the sin the only sin they were guilty of was not giving rebuke for the sin that took place in that place okay so the first two verses are addressed only to Israel whereas the remaining verses where the rebuke is a little bit more stronger is addressed to Bene Israel and one of the clear cards main thesis is that before Moses dot Moses dies he wants to give over the instructions to the leadership of how to give rebuke do it like I'm doing it in a hinted fashion especially to those who are honorable and but you have to give it because you know what happens if you don't you're going to carry their sin in other words number three on this on the source sheet number one there are ramifications and consequences to the leadership if you refrain from rebuke you have to give it but you have to know how to give it okay and number four that we should know that refined people righteous people love to accept rebuke how else are we going to change how else are we going to become better people how else are we going to improve our character uh we're on page one yeah and it's the first so now number five on that number one on the another sub number five on number one it says work on yourself before you correct others on the first page so how can you help correct others if you have not mastered that trait or at least worked towards the middle ground right you have to correct yourself as it says in Ghazal ornament yourself first before you ornament others in other words you want to beautify other people but you have to beautify yourself first and then one of the last lessons which is going to be mainly in tonight's class is that there's a concept called projection projection when when people there's a few ways to explain this when you see a wrong in someone else you see something that you don't like in someone else there's a very good chance that this is the exact character trait that you need to work on yourself very good chance most likely I can go on and on we all know okay so we're gonna deal with this idea of what projection is and how you can control it you can control what you have on your mind and you have to make your own you have to take your own accounting of your soul before you can take the accounting of others okay let's begin with the clear card the first thing he points out is it's like a third down on page tough Race pay gimmo that's 683. okay it says you have the pages already open for you what does it mean between this place called Paran and between this place called toefel that's where we were when Moses spoke to us well let me just give you a little background number one Paran is where we sent the spies from so that's a code word for the Sun for the sin of the spies what about TOEFL Rashi is going to say that's where we complained about the man this tasteless bread obviously we all know that it was it was tasteless but if you imagined it to taste like something that's what it would taste like but it had to be tasteless to start with and so we complained they're actually verses we complained clearly and we'll see them but what this clear card is doing he's going to focus on the word venu bang because that's also a location and what does it mean between here and between there so right away the clear Clark explains Yodi I am going to bring another dimension an additional aspect to whatever was discussed prior will the far is sorry he's going to focus in and actually say you know what Bane and Bane means it's actually the time period between the 17th of tamus and the night and the ninth above we know right away kiparan what about Paran Paran Isa maragling that's where the maragling the spies were sent from and what was the consequences that we were I would say promised the consequences were based on our reaction to the spies coming back and us uh siding with the negative report that there would be a crying a a type of a crying for nothing and then there would be an established crying for Generations on the night of tishabath we would be extremely vulnerable but I have to tell you even though it's from the Gomorrah time is this is of our own making and we'll have to discuss how to get out of this we are going to discover how to reverse this okay but what about TOEFL he's going to explain the clear card will explain how Rashi explains it then he's going to disagree with Rashi and then he's going to say but I would agree with Rashi if but since Rashi didn't do that I will somewhat disagree but he still agrees the bottom line with the word Levant so you have tofel villavon okay so totho Rashi says is based on the idea of the complaint about the month but the clear car says no this is referring to the Eagles have this is the eagle Ashera Su the the calf that they made the golden calf Asha perish Rashi now if you look what Rashi says they actually complained they were disgusted because of the man but you know what the clear car says I don't find there is no comparison to anywhere in Scripture that it's referring to the man although the clear card then actually does prove that there is but Rashi had not brought it and that's why the clear car says it would have been more correct would have been more proper hayarashi mafar shomilashan if Rashi would have used now let's look at the first let's look at Rashi and what he does say and then we'll look at the clear car and what Rashi didn't say so on page one on the source sheet in the English I have Rashi in English these are the words since these are words of rebuke and he Moses enumerates here all the places where they angered Hashem therefore it makes no explicit mention of the incidences in which they transgress but rather merely alludes to them right by mentioning the names of the places out of respect for Israel then we have the words between Paran and toefel and Lavon and he quotes Ruby yokonan medrish we've reviewed the entire Bible but we found no place named tofel or Lavon however the explanation is this is Rashi quoting ribiokanan the explanation is he rebuked them because of the foolish things that they had said about the man which was white which was Lavon and where do we find this in numbers 21 verse 5. now you can find that and number four on the sushi this is it Mei Mei Riva look at number four in the source sheet numbers 21 verse 5 the people spoke against God and against Moses what did they say why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in this desert for there is no bread and no water and we are disgusted with this rotten bread they complained we complained about the man in Hebrew is like disgusted locale look at Rashi on that what does it mean enough shenu katsa this too denotes intolerance and Loathing and what does it mean with this rotten bread since the man was absorbed into their limbs remember when we were in the desert we never needed to go to the bathroom it was Angel bread and it was totally absorbed there was no Solace there was no what's the word for solace in English there was no extra there was nothing that could be excreted because everything was used up it was pure it was Pure Energy it was angel food they didn't have to go to the you know they didn't have to change their clothes either they didn't sweat you know sweat ruins clothes right you know during the nine days sweat is uh you know it has s acid or some acidic tendency that could ruin the clothes what okay so they didn't go to the bathroom they didn't need to go to the bathroom so Rashi says since the Mana was absorbed into their limbs and not excreted through their bowels they called it rotten meaning that they said this man this is think about this God is giving them a favor he's doing such a hasid he's giving them Angelic food and what did they say well if we don't go to the bathroom it's obviously going to destroy our our digestive tract they said it will eventually swell up in our stomachs asking the question is there any mortal who ingests but does not excrete now I think this is already a clue to where we're going to go with this idea laughs when someone really loves you when and part of giving rebuke it has to be done out of love by the way it's it's Observatory if you don't love somebody you should not do any kind of rebuke it doesn't work it's probably forbidden okay so you have to love the other it has to be given out of love because what you want to do is show them the correct way what does it mean oh you're doing this wrong you're doing that wrong you're doing that wrong that doesn't work there's nothing substantial there's nothing positive that's going to come out of that rebuke we even say in English called reproof means to prove the right way but how do you prove the right sometimes you have to say well what you've been doing all along isn't working this is what will work so that's a little bit of the Insight let's go back into we were in the middle of that Rashi on page one it was the first Rashi they mentioned in numbers 21-5 our soul lows this rotten bread and because of what they had done in the desert of Paran that was through the spies and so now we know that the according to Rashi the word tofel is a complaint about the man let's go back into the clear car and we are only three lines down so beginning on the fourth line we said the word tofel is obviously the ego Asha Sue and we saw Rashi benikra and now the Yota it would have been more proper according to nuclear car if you use that verse in job six six let's look at Job 6 6. so if you look at number 14 job 6 6 can bland food be eaten without salt or is there a taste in the saliva of strong tasting food obviously the man had no taste so the word so this is a statement in job can bland food which you know symbolizes the man so the word tathel would in this case fit in perfectly with with the clear cars explanation he's saying that if Rashi would have used that verse to say tether TOEFL is referring to the mind and use that verse as a source I would have bought Head Over Heels but you know what he has tremendous insight and it's he's basically on measure she's not picking it out of you know the blue listen to what he says he says you know what there are other places I'm sorry did I skipped something yeah okay so the Clear Car strengthens his argument anything that has no taste necra tuffel just like we saw in joke anything that has no taste is called tethel and therefore I would have agreed with Rashi or every one of that would have been perfect if Rashi would have brought that verse however life but according to our explanation we have a certain way of explaining things butofel that we're going to explain that the the making of the golden calf is hinted at in that word because these words represented the sins and making the golden calf was obviously a sin now he's going to say the word totho or tetho is commonly found with idol worship and if it's commonly found with idle worship it fits in well with the golden calf so here we go okay you know what we actually find this word used with either Worship in several places those cakes keep your eye on the ball the first one is Jeremiah the second one is Lamentations okay Jeremiah 23 13 let's find uh where it is anybody find it Jeremiah must be right after yeah number 15. and the and in the prophets of Samaria I saw unseemliness they prophesied by Bal and misled My People Israel so what does it mean i s what did I see This is Jeremiah speaking in these false prophets now if you're prophesizing in the name of God you obviously believe in God if you're a false prophet either you don't believe in God or you believe in a different deity I mean what in the world are you doing as a false prophet and I'm using the word false I'm emphasizing this so I saw and we have you know basically we're going to call it they were false prophets but it was uh it's something very negative okay and the next case typical use is in lamentation 214 which is number 16. your prophets have seen false and senseless Visions for you and they have not exposed your iniquity straighten out your backsliding isn't that the mo isn't that the job description of the prophets to correct your behavior so you don't continue in the back word fashion but these people they have prophesied for you false and misleading oracles okay so the word is basically false and senseless visions okay uh Rashi there interestingly enough when it says false and senseless visions rashi's consistent he says words that have no taste okay you see there's a a consistency very good let's go back to the clear car because now we saw Jeremiah and Echo but he brings two other ideas well let's just say ties to two verses together so there's this concept if you look in number 17 it's Ezekiel 3 13 11. you know what whitewashing is uh it's falsehood right so it says over there say to the plasterers with plaster right these guys are you know you have a crack in your wall and you're just like it could be like a it could be a fundamental problem in in the foundation and yet you want to sell your house so you go ahead and just smear some cement over it it doesn't fix anything in fact it's a lie so if you don't take care of the roof or you don't take care of the house then the the roof will fall through if you don't fix things says say to the plasterers with doubt behold it will fall if there will be a driving rain then you gigantic house Stone hailstones will fall and a storm wind will crack it it's obviously not a good idea now what does it have to do with idle worship because it was Target it's a whitewash it's smoking mirrors that's how I think of that and therefore he says so too you know when they made the egel who's they the uh the heir of RAV and we're guilty because some of us got involved and we didn't give enough to Haka what did they say Israel these are your gods of Israel now let me ask you a question who took us out of Egypt this the gods the the claiming these are your gods of Israel no it's a whitewash it's smoke and mirrors so what what is the bottom line they basically created false gods that's what it means they've created a false god now that is the first thing then he says all this took place this idea of the golden calf took place on the 17th of Thomas now that means when Moses was coming down with the Luke with the tablets and he saw what was going down of course he knew already God told him but as soon as he saw what's going on he threw the tablets and he broke them and that's why it says and was on that day that the stone here I'm emphasizing stone tablets the stones were broken and this is established broken stones for future Generations that was the day the 17th the time was that the what that the walls were breached they were broken through it was on that day 17th of Thomas that the the walls of the city were breached and its stones now we're thinking about these two dates we're originally thinking of these are the two sins we're originally thinking these are two places but the places didn't really exist there was a hint of the sins the sins are important but the dates are also important because there's something that tragic took place on these dates and the dates themselves set us up I'm not going to say I'm not going to finish that sentence we'll see what it sets us up for us this time frame this time frame Israel's roidates the Jewish people are squatting uh what's the word uh bent over basically basically you know on these between these two fences we have these borders we have these tights we're in a tight spot you have a fence on either side these dates these these the sins took place which is significant now we understand Banu Bain is a reference to the what that is what the time period is called that we're in now between the Straits Dana bay means between and then Marcon that is said over here in Deuteronomy but guess what it says in Joe I'm sorry in Lamentations one verse 3. Lamentations one verse 3. that's number 20. now this is a very important verse to understand that Yehuda went into Exile because of Affliction and great servitude she settled among the Nations and found no rest all her pursuers overtook her between the Straits between the boundaries the Hebrew is called now what does it mean all her pursuers reached her overtook her caught up with her overtook her between these in this narrow place in this in between these boundaries I want to just read what it says in Rashi on that verse so you're going to went into Exile yeah from her land with great and great servitude she set among the Nations found no rest between the boundaries what does it mean between the boundaries where there's a high place on either side and there's no place to flee there's no rest you're you're stuck and it's very very painful what does it mean the boundaries Amit sarim remember mitzrayim nobody could ever escape from Egypt it's a it's a very um secure prison right you're like in this prison where you cannot get out of but I'm going to teach you how to get out of it the edges of the fields and Vineyards what is the major Chicago drum roll please the Mitra should goddess says this is referring to like the whole thesis of the Clear Car these you know between the Missouri is between the 7th the 18th of tamus and the ninth of ah so let's go back into the clear car it's very important to see the Hebrew again all the chaser reach up or overtake bana mitzerim between these boundaries that means between the sin of the golden calf and ubane and between the sin of the spies Kara ravats were bent over crouching and we can be pushed and we're not able to stand up it's a very difficult time for us now what the clear car is about to do is give us the great Insight on how to remedy the situation this is a tight spot that we find ourselves year after year after year haven't you had enough let's end this already okay in the natural way just naturally in hat Salah there is no salvation or there is no rescue from a oppressive enemy foreign except ready for this only in one of two ways we're both together so what we're about to tell you is the remedy you could we could collectively especially collectively be rescued saved from our oppressive enemy if we just follow this direction one of two A's or both of them together hey the first way one is just through and I'm going to call it Supernatural but you have to understand the Jews are prophetic people we have a unique connection with creator of the universe and everyone else is invited there's no reason a non-jew can join in you can call me privately I'll explain how I mean if you watch our videos you'll understand as well but basically through a deep connection with the god of Israel okay with the creator of the universe and it's through his Providence it's through the connection you're going to have with him bow that God Saves all those who are connected to him even if they're not physically strong nevertheless that's why I called Supernatural there's something ethereal here we're talking about spirituality here that you don't have to be physically strong as long as you have a connection with God he will save you Miko Markham provided as we say in the Shema several times a day the ahafta is you shall love the Lord your God right we know the rest with all your might with all your soul okay so there you go loving God learn how learn what it means first of all I will give you a little bit Insight now always look to the virtue of the other like in other words you have a question you have a Mitzvah to love your neighbor you have admits to love God what do you think it's an emotion love is an emotion you mean we have such control over our emotions you can just snap it in let's say like this there is a way when the Weinberg the roshiba always said by looking and pondering the virtues of the other you will love that is how you can create that relationship you appreciate it you will love the person here you're talking about Hashem when you realize as the rambam says look at nature I mean you can just look at the Torah look what he did for us so when you look at the virtue of the other you will fall in love okay so that's the trick it's not a matter of turning the Love on and off it doesn't work like that it's a matter of up here focusing on The Virtue and then the emotional response will be love should be so we have an obligation to love God we have to ponder about the creation the all the good stuff he's provided for us and now by loving God that causes us to cling to God that causes us to come close to God that causes the in in Intimate relationship we have with God and it works both ways as who matzilla called The Viking Bo he saves those who he's closest to who's he's intimate with so that's from God that's from the supernatural side what about from adjusting natural side alone is there any salvation in the natural world you might think not but the click already said it's one of two ways we're both together so guess what there's a way to be saved at least in the physical world um in a physical way when you fulfill what it says in Leviticus 19 18 and you shall love your neighbors yourself don't do to others as you would not want done unto yourself which means like this it's very difficult to love anybody else as much as you love yourself although your spouse you are obligated to but anybody else How can I Reuben can I love you more than I love myself or even as much very difficult so that's why it's phrased don't do unto others that's how we can fill the Mitzvah when you would not want done because that's everything's subjective but at least that's a little bit more objective okay so if you're going to work on your character and be a decent refined human being by at least not doing negative things hopefully even doing positive there's nothing wrong with trying to do positive things that supports a great deal right but at least staying away from the negative it basically means you're keeping to the Norms of society that means each person would help his friend you have friends you have people that are reliable and rely on you and and you can rely on them because you're decent human beings now this is where it's a little bit Troublesome but once we're talking about a natural thing we're not talking Supernatural anymore even if the person is a sinner now I don't know what kind of sins I'm assuming these are sins between the person and God if there's sins between the human being another human being I doubt it's going to work but it depends what kind of sins so anyway he says even if they're Sinners and Hashem has been removed from Hashem removed himself from them so you no longer have right you don't have the God's Providence looking over you he says there's a little bit of hope that another human being will help you because you're at least um you're um yeah so there's a little bit of hope at least from the natural uh standpoint but he says provided imlot I think it really means has provided you did not go against society's Norms as long as you remained within a uh you know the arrangement that Society has made okay you're not going to going against you know what I mean right you're not an outlier you're not you don't have to be a heavy man but you know somewhere in between now these two time periods elu Eve do I'm sorry so between these two time periods the Jewish people lost we abandoned we sacrificed both of these ways of Salvation or of rescue because you know what aim Kane El Mia news who else are we going to run to for help we've already abandoned God we've already abandoned our fellow man who's gonna who's gonna help you who's going to run to help you and who you're going to run to for help s what happened on the 17th of Thomas they made the eggo and we already know what happened on that day do you know what the constellation is for the month of tamus this is our time the what they call cancer it's the crab it's the crab and how does the crab walk sideways or backwards when we created that golden calf we turned our backs to God we went backwards we turned to God the back of our necks and not our faces the constellation during the month of tamus is the sartan we'll call it the crowd should dark hole that its way is to walk backwards that's what its way Israel or so too that's how we did it we were they the Jewish people at the time walked backwards and what happened as a result of that's when we lost that ethereal connection with the karish baraku we lost that connection with the Sheena we lost that connection with the Almighty with the the outpouring of Providence and care and concern we'll be Tish above now that's the 17th of Thomas what happened on this on the ninth of hayamace that was the sin of the spies of Israel it was on that very day the ninth above that the character trait this unruly this very negative sorry character trait of of causeless hatred was born came forth into the world on the Jewish people now this is going to be highly psychological very deep and I'm sure there are other explanations so be open but hear the words in verse 27 which we opened with go to 27 I don't think you have it on the associates you might if you do let me know where it is probably should be which number 23 look at number 23 it's Deuteronomy chapter 1 verse 27. this is Moses giving us rebuke now you ought to remember this is not the same generation this is already the Next Generation about to go into the land of Israel but he's telling us in the mishna Torah what happened what occurred during these 40 years so he says you murmured in your tents and said I mean we said this because the Lord hates us he took us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the ham of the amorites to exterminate us now we're going to deal with two issues in Rashi first of all the Hebrew tome besina motano it's because right they said they said in their tents that God Hates Us so Rashi says really he loves you he loves you but you ain't him how can it be that we said God hates us God doesn't hate us that's a lie but we believe that lie what is it about human psychology where we think something someone hates us I think it's in the next part of the Rashi as a common Parable says so I'm going to first read it in Aramaic it is Aramaic Cinema Gomorrah um well rash is quoting ma it's the last line in the Hebrew on the on the clear car mod what is in your heart about your friend you imagine that that's on the heart of your friend about you so God really loved us we thought he hated us why did we think he hated us because we hated him how did we get to that point he just did all kinds of great stuff for us so Cena hates you between Brothers that's where it started if I can say although I think it actually started one step before that a low self-esteem it starts with a low self-esteem if you don't love yourself if that means what it means you hate yourself I don't love myself I don't know what what there is about me to love I have such a low self-esteem I imagine everyone thinks the same thing about me and if that's true God hates me too I think that's what the clear card let's see if that's true the what the clear card is saying so we just read the last line that Rashi says what is in your own heart about your friend you imagine in is in his heart about you we can call this either projection or transference but there is a psychological term for this and then the clear car says remember the clear card live 400 years ago over this is what they thought he's explaining what the Jewish people thought when they said God hates us he's going to go through a chain of events [Music] he's making this assumption after the fact they all hated their other you know the other people so too remember God's also your friend so he must hate you as well now he says furthermore after the fact they made a mistake it's I mean it's not true you know what they said they made a mistake to say that God hates us that is an outright lie it's not true it's a mistake once they believed that they bought that lie that fake news then the only natural thing is to hate everyone else so none of that was even happening it all started with an imagination a perception it was a perception it wasn't based on reality so the clear car says that this conception of this negativity this sorrow this pain that's called perception even though the word tahar means conception like before the birth the very first part of a birthing process created this pain and it gave birth to the actual character traits these very evil character trait of hatred and everything that comes along with it and then he says something absolutely astounding we all know the reason for the first pace of mikdash Destruction was because of the three big what the three big cardinal sins murder idolatry and adultery it's well known and the reason for the destruction of the second temple is causeless hatred you know what the clear card is about to say that caused this hatred also caused the destruction of the first temple and how does he proves it first of all there's a good morning it says it and we're going to see it he says this evil trait that began is with the conception and Lynn was born with this evil borne out this evil trait that is what meaning the Sina that is what caused the destruction of both temples that he's making this bold claim that what happened during the first temple it wasn't seen as Kingdom like the second temple the the Sina that the causes hatred that had to do with the time period of the first temple was what amongst the leadership amongst the princes okay amongst the Kings shrimp and in the second temple I'm going to use the word a trickle down the disease spread to the rest of the Jewish people and there's a good morning Yuma 9B that explains it and I think it's worthwhile so take a look at it it's really at the end of this little short piece but let's just read it number 24 in the source sheet Yeoman 9B and so exactly what was the different sins of the Jewish people over the generations so the question was what was the reason the first temp was destroyed okay it's going to go through the three uh the three ideas we mentioned idol worship forbidden sexual relations and bloodshed and however during the second temple we all know that everyone was so engaged in Torah study mixes acts of kindness so what what caused that um why was the second temple destroyed so the answer is because of Cena this comes to teach you that Cena's Kingdom this this caused this hatred amongst Jews is worse heavier consequences or just right it's equal that one sin to the three cardinal sins right teach you the sin of wanton hatred is equivalent to that of the three severe transgressions okay now we're asking the question drum roll please in the first temple really there was no baseless hatred so it goes to a few different verses but basically the bottom line is the Gamora answers that this horrible Behavior actually we should be diverse it's in Ezekiel chapter 21 verse 17. cry and wail son of man for this will befall my people this will befall all the princes of Israel they will be cast before the sword together with my people therefore strike the thigh interpreted this verse there these are people who ate and drink with each other they actually ate and drink with each other and yet they stab each other with verbal barbs and this is during the first temple and this is uh the downfall apparently even those who were close were filled with hatred towards one another to get more answers ready this type of behavior was only found among the princes of Israel as the verse implies as it is written and does say about the princes so the bottom line it says this will be for all the princes of Israel it was only the leaders of the nation who harbored baseless hatred for other people but the people of the nation as a whole did not hate one another during the first temple so Cena was the cause as we know the split and then we saw that the ten tribes the ten Northern tribes disappear okay so there's a lot to be said about what's going on over there the last thing we read here in the clear card was he quotes from a secless humor now going back to tishbo o when the um the Cena's Kingdom came into the world it's during the month of the ninth of which we're in right now two more lines one second Arya and what is the constellation of of it's the Leo of the month of each one um basically modeled himself after a lion and what does a lion do listen we've all been to zoos and they're well tamed they might even be drugged but in the wild in the real safaris they tear apart and they destroy their their prey so what happens if a person is acting like a lion he's yikes of litter of escudero mom is tearing apart his friend and what happens as a result then even the most natural type of Salvation we discussed earlier is gone it's abandoned there's nobody who to rely on there's nobody who's reliable there's no one to help his friend me yakum Yakov We're Half and Yakov ever get up yaakov as we discussed as opposed to Israel yaakov represents the galout the Exile let's say the lower level that the Jews are on whereas so basically yaakov would be very small and poor if he doesn't have who to rely on okay so the next paragraph and the last paragraph it comes out nimsa shebang gavuli melu that it comes out that between these borders these time periods these grueling these borders the package unraveled whatever you know it's a very uh poetic he's using very strong language the whole package unraveled because we removed ourselves quickly from God during that period the sorrow gam Ishmael so too one person each person moved further away from his fellow nimsa what comes out from this that these two dates these two time periods they're set it up as boundaries a wall a a fence on each side a very tight spot and he says ain't Derek lintos yaminu small and there's no place to maneuver there's no place to lean you're in this tight Straight Place not to the right and not to the left Luffy therefore going back to that verse Cole wrote fans that all who chase her reach her or overtake her Bane amidst rain during those three weeks during this time but what he wants to focus in on the word coal all who chase her you know what the word all comes to include oh everyone anyone even the weakest enemy the enemy I'm gonna put myself on the line here who isn't even a nation who never owned any land who never even had history who's in no people can overtake us you understand who I'm referring to because what is the word call infer even the Chasers the the like nothing special in fact they're weak just a regular chaser who's extremely weak can still overtake us who are quite vulnerable I want to teach you about the word nuts but he says that this time this one particular time they blank the the Holy One of Israel which is Hashem the word is the word Nazi mean it's very interesting even the word PLO all the different um Hebrew terminologies all have meaning even though they were just uh acronyms like Hamas Hamas is an acronym for like three long words but it means violent criminal uh violently criminal I mean really really very negative okay so you have like different terms for different nations like the word Russia Russia means evil seem sin like China means hatred okay here we have nots Nazi Nazi means to provoke Hashem like to stick you know stick up and poke God that's what Nazi means and here you have it Natsu at kadosh Israel at like one time we're like provoking hashema the only way we are desecrated the only way we are really um desanctified if the Jewish people lose their their sanctity is it's all dependent on whether we're all together if there's actus if there's Unity if we're momished together don't exclude God doesn't leave anybody behind Moses didn't leave any behind right why should we leave anybody behind every Jew every Jew is included and the truth is we are the name of the world really there shouldn't be any non-jew left behind at least we have to tell them the truth okay so the sanctity of the Jewish people depends on our ability to be unified now the second period of time which we call the 17th of tamus that we reverted backwards we turned away from the Sheena from the divine presence so as a result El mezru who are we going to run to for help who's going to come to to assist us that's why Moses says during this rebuke he says you should see you the Jewish people you're standing between these two time periods every year of your life but guess what when you are meaning because it is sins arim especially during that time period called between the Straits when we're in right now from the aspect of the sin of the golden uh the sin of the spies which took place in Paran um and the sin of the golden calf now he's giving us rebuke but in order to listen right in order to encourage them in order to cause them our chuva to to repent that's the whole goal of giving rebuke I'm Arcane that's why he said such a thing low Yeshua because you know what if the Jewish people don't do chuva and apparently we haven't done enough truth to change the situation then as a result whatever happened with the spies the whole story behind the spies would be established for us as a crying for Generations it's really hard to even say these words because on it we were disgusted by the land of Israel and you imagine you okay I want to get down to some like you know really personal stuff here if you were a secular Jew growing up in America or Germany or wherever it is and you went to University I mean the what they speak about Israel the Jews but especially what's going on in the land of Israel so disparagingly I mean many Jews give up their identity they don't want to be Associated because the pressure the lies is so strong you kind of run away run away so it takes listen they're the religious world and I don't mean just Jews there are plenty of good people in other religions they call this place the Holy Land I mean they fought battles over it they really have a great desire so how is it that we don't how is it to discuss us so we really need to build a proper a really proper understanding of God the world and the Jewish people so it can be truly balanced in in a proper way but unfortunately they were disgusted they were masuba Erica Dosha they didn't want to come into the holy land okay you know what the result is of not wanting to come into the Holy Land The Logical conclusion that is Exile is a result of not wanting to be here God gives you what you want because in truth that's where the gullu All Began on Tish above if it was not that very day it was that very day that caused the domino effect and the uh the chain link the chain events chain of events and the sin of the golden calf which we're going to call the Maisie tofel yes that's what caused the city the breaking of the walls of the city on the 17th of tamus and the Clear Car Ends by saying beanie baini which means in the meanwhile in the in between those two time periods yerbitsu Bain and this that were crouched over between these two edges year the fame and the enemy any enemy even the weakest of enemies is able to overcome so we'll conclude by this the secret and it's a personal thing and it's a national thing how are you going to do the national thing that we'll have to talk about first you have to get yourself in order love God love your fellow human being that's where it's going to start and I don't mean like oh yeah twill your thumbs and take it easy this is like real work this is intensive work how are you going to perceive it all has to do with you have to think I say you have you have to if you want to do this program right yeah for anybody who's not a known Russia he's not known to be the worst the worst kind of person in the world he's at Sadiq or she's a Sadiq or they're basically okay decent people you have absolute obligation to think positively and as a result of this lesson you should know that those people who are just normal everyday people you should go out of your way figure out what is to appreciate look at the virtues know that they're needed in this world they wouldn't be here figure it out love them that's number one number two love God do Mormons take on more Mitzvahs that's how you cling to Hashem the word Mitzvah ma'am hey the above hay is God's name the last two letters we spoke about this many times the mem by doing a myths in fact the actual root of Mitzvah means to unify to come close to Hashem the Mitzvahs are channels of your devices Hashem of how you can cling to Hashem and Hashem will light up your life he will give you everlasting life he will give you that you're by you doing the Mitzvah you're being infused with the light of God which will in enter your limbs your organs your sinnohs at the day of Resurrection it's through the midst as you do that is the life force for all eternity okay so with that let's start let's start the work right that was just a introduction now the work begins I know we're still in the middle of the three weeks this year does not have to be a fast it will be and it is a moate it will turn into a festival Hashem we'll see it this year so looking forward praying for the in gathering the Exiles the rebuilding the temple they come
