Universal Message about The Nature of God in the Shemah with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] welcome home to torah welcome to the ebony baked midrash i just want to say once again welcome back and to all those that are here as well um i want to stress that what we are trying to do is not just learn hebrew but yes we encourage everyone to learn as well and therefore we do have the the sheets go down into the description box on youtube and you'll find a link where you can find the sheets that we're working from but more than that we are dealing with absolutely fundamental issues that every human being on the planet earth should know obviously every jew needs to know and every righteous noah hyde needs to know and it would be great if the whole world knew this but eventually they will and you'll hear how and why as we go through it because we're dealing with the kriya shema with the shema itself now before i begin i also want to mention another point that the holidays are coming up we're still far away today is the 15th of a very special day i encourage you to listen to rabbi bridowitz's shir last tuesday on the insights of tuba'av but that six weeks away are the high holidays and yibbonnet tries its best to help so many people and so therefore we have a fund where we actually give 100 100 of what we collect away to need the families for the holidays so there's also a link below in the description box as well as on our website and you could be part of that great mitzvah so we're in chapter 6 of deuteronomy verse 4. now look at the word shmaisha hashem al-qaeda most printed versions printed not the safer torah right i shouldn't say most there are a lot of printed versions that don't write the yud and the hain above and the hay they put two yuds not just nishma but anywhere i want to show you something when it comes to the svardi sitters they seem to get it right what do i mean by getting it right so if you notice that when it says shmeisrael the yurt in the hand of in the hay is quite large you guys don't have it i didn't want to make too many copies of this and then you have the name ado nai inside the hay but besides that you have another series of letters so the arrows on top show that you have a urinary nerve oven a and the arrows on the bottom have the the name ado nai okay so one of the main intents is when we read the word when we're looking at the word of god meaning then the attribute of yuke bake we're supposed to have certain thoughts and when we but we're supposed to pronounce not the uk valve okay but the name ado nai so i just want to tell you certain um and it's written on this page this is from a sorority sitter imlok peru shamilim if you don't have proper intent when you say the words of the shema itself you do not fulfill the mitzvah now this sitter goes on and explains it's based on the shogunate it's based on the on the uh the gemara it's based on all the uh the wisdom that the jews have passed down israel when you say the word shemesra meaning the you're supposed to have a tremendous amount of concentration and you should understand that israel is accepting upon itself this is something that israel should accept upon himself like in other words the word shema doesn't just mean listen it means understand and accept and when you say hashem eloquenu hashem what should you think about that hashem keno hashem that he is our god but he is one now when you actually say the utke bufke when you actually say the words which we don't pronounce i ado nai you should have intent of adon hakol you should think of him as the adon the master of all who was is and will be because in your mind the uk valve k does mean was is and will be the word ado nai is the master of all so you actually have both in mind now when you say eloquenu which is based on elokim you should have in mind that he is the strength and the master of all abilities and all strengths all included all inclusive and when you read the word echad you should have intent it's like you're crowning hashem but shamayim beshiva rakim in heaven and the heaven is within the seven well let's call them seven seven heavens in other words in the heaven which has seven heavens as well as the earth and the four directions of the physical world that we're in okay with that small introduction we are now going to read what clearcar says because this is absolutely fascinating we begin with the verse oh i also want to mention when you see in many printed versions two yuds what does that mean yes the printer was just trying to save money perhaps but i don't think so what the printer wanted to do was in case god forbid perhaps if the book or whatever paper this is printed on is misused mishandled right that it's not really a desecration of god's holy name however wait to hear this as we saw the name of hashem starts with the yut so the first uh is representing of yud kevke and the second yud is representing the last letter of ardo nine so as you're looking at the two yuds and you know that it's hashem's name you should have in mind both the way it's written and the way it's pronounced okay and if you take an example just for the name a donai itself you have an aleph in the beginning the aleph always seems to represent the one god yud kevke because a aleph is of love with two yards which means the gemache is 26. so the aleph somehow represents god's holy name which is the gemacho is 26. and the last letter is a yud which represents uk and in the middle you have two letters done like a dome on that level but also of judgment which again elokim represents so even within the yudud you actually have a very deep understanding and have in mind both names now what does rashi say clearly the clear car begins with parish rashi so i have here on the source sheet number one rashi says what does it mean the lord is our god the lord is one you have to be like sitting down to hear this the lord who is now our god meaning israel right the lord is now our god i have to gulp before i even say the next words but he's not the god of the other nations now how can that be but he will be declared in the future the one god by all and we have two verses that explain what this means in other words what are the prophets coming to do the prophets are coming to give rebuke to tell to teach you how to go on the right path okay they're giving rebuke to the people but they're also revealing things that were already known there's nothing new in the prophets so in in zephaniah chapter 3 verse 9 it says then i will convert the peoples to a pure language meaning that all the nations will then it doesn't mean they're all going to speak hebrew it means that they'll understand the nature of god as the verse says that all call out in the name of the lord to worship him of one accord that everybody will become monotheistic and truly be believers in the god of israel and rashi also quotes zachariah chapter 14 verse nine and the lord shall become king over all the earth on that day shall the lord be one and his name one beyond yeah now we're going to see shortly what the gamora has to say about this but let's look at rashi shall the lord be one for all the nations will abandon their vanities and acknowledge him that he is one and that no strange deity is with him and his name is one that his name shall be mentioned by everyone so that's very obviously jews believe this the question is what about the nations until the nations come to the point like it mentioned in safania a for a full understanding in order to then abandon their because this is all just an introduction to what the uh the cleocar brings down in gamora page 50a it's written in the name it was said by rabbi yochanan you know it says in zakaria chapter 14 verse 9 that there will be a time that is that hashem will be won and his name will be won the governor says what are you talking about are you trying to say that right now god is not one remember we did describe it as yes he's one according to the jews but according to most of the nations they don't understand that idea well we have another level rather there's another lesson the lesson is that what we call the world to come the world in which will be everlasting heaven let's say right god aden whatever old it's going to be at least from the resurrection of the day onward it's not the same the world we're living in and the world we're going to enter at the end of our lives are not the same because there's a halacha now if you look at number three there's blessings that we hear when we hear good news okay so you hear good news you say baroque which means god is good and he performs good he does good he bestows good goodness and when we hear bad news we say baruch which means that hashem is the true judge that's in this world we have these now what's the difference he says like this in this world when we hear good things it's baruch and besoro's rose when we hear not such good news what do we say baroque but what's going to happen in the world to come there's no pain there's no sadness it's all clear everything is good everyone remember jews and non-jews non-jews also go to heaven then at that point it will be clear that everything is and was for the good or at least what's happening then um i do want to say just stop here a second that when we call evil in english evil the the the balatanya explains there is no evil that emanates from god there's whatever emanates from god is always going to be good but it's going to be revealed good and concealed good the revealed good we relate and say it's good the concealed good we don't understand it we don't see it and therefore we call it evil let's leave with that because we're going to go into that a little bit further on so again now he begins let's say a theological discussion lifelong it happens to be the way it works in this world meets what do we perceive according to what people perceive they see contradictory actions being performed sometimes for the bad sometimes for the good and this is like a nick shot this is we have free will this is going to cause some people to become heretics lomar what would they end up saying that is so heretical state oh there must be two deities there must be two great powers in this world right like ying and yang or like god and the devil right or however you want to express whatever language different religions use now why would they say this why would they come to this conclusion because they can't see how one let's say cause the first cause of existence could possibly emanate two completely contradictory contradictory actions now he does explain this in partial spray that's would be in chapter one verse five that says the heboker yomekhad at the end of day one it actually says it was it was evening and it was morning day one we discussed the idea of cardinal numbers and ordinal numbers and but in this case you have a an inconsistency because day one is called one whereas two through seven they're called the second third fourth fifth sixth and seventh shouldn't day one have been called one i mean sorry re-shown first so i want you to go to that rashi you'll see the number four where you turn the page that was the verse in genesis 1 verse 5 so according to the sequence of the language of the chapter it should have been written the first day rishon as is written regarding all the other days second third and fourth so why did the scripture why is it written one as opposed to the first because hashem the holy one blessed be he was the only one in his world for the angels were not yet created until the second day and yom echad is understood as the day of the only one now understand that in the way we perceive light being good darkness being evil and many people would say obviously whatever is evil is created by an evil deity god power and whatever is good therefore light is created by a positive deity or power that's not what the torah is teaching us get it to your head that both day and night light and darkness good and evil is all created by himself okay so that is a very important point we made so far and now he goes like this that's all about this world but when it comes to the world to come where we would have forgotten all of the pains of this previous world because we're no longer there in the omrim everyone is just singing and praising hashem al besora's toy those and all the good news that is happening to us vertova native and that's the bracket we'll be making on all the circumstances that occur the lo yiru az that we would not be seeing any contradictions at all everything would be so clear and therefore god's holy name and understanding perhaps even in hebrew of course in hebrew as well would be understood by everybody would be on the mouth of everybody ushmo echad and then his name would truly be one now this idea of the causing a difference the the difference between his different names whether it's from judgment strict judgment towards mercy yes they just can't fathom this this is what causes them to to to have this mistake therefore the torah goes out of its way to explain to us in the shema israel hashem the god of mercy ultimately he's also our god the same god high new shame shall die it's one god now this because i work with so many converts people who want to convert people who have been enoch and they can swear to me up and down they totally understand god is one and that's why it's hard for me to imagine right it must be that the reason they're converting is because they really do understand or at least they're really close to understanding the unity of hashem and the people that are righteous no hides they understand let's say on a on a deep level but i think that only once you convert or once this future world comes then you'll truly fully understand allah as the verse says as rashi explained that in the future hashem will be one what does that mean kilo yishtam shukulam bashem sharakami because only then in the future everyone will use and ultimately understand hashem is rocking me i just want to stop here a second because what i think the christians i don't like to handle on them so much but i think that by calling it a new testament or new covenant they're basically saying and many even secular people would say that the god of the old testament is i don't even want to say the words but let's just say primitive mean uh full of vengeance whereas the the god of the new testament is he's the rachel he's full of mercy well they got it all wrong because the god that created the world from the very beginning was ultimately the godhead let's say the name the the attribute that really overrides everything else as we will see is and din is just a sub category the din itself the judgment itself is coming forth from okay so that's the first paragraph so the next paragraph begins with hashem keep in mind when you look at the actual text okay i should say every text the the actual torah itself and any good printed version should have a large iron on the end of the word shema and a large dalit at the end of the verse on the word echad so in the militiama you have a large ion in the word shema and you have a large dalit in the word so i will show you here it might be harder to see but you can see here with my fingers the iron and you have over here the dalid just a little bit bigger we're not talking about tremendously bigger but depends on whatever text you're looking at it should be bigger so he says like this this is going to hint to what we already know in the medras are you aware of this i know they have a whole religion called the j witnesses right are you aware who the real witnesses are it says it right here in our own torah right i should say in the tanakh in isaiah chapter 43 verse and i want to bring 11 as well because it's just so beautiful atem adai nu umashem god himself says through prophet isaiah you are my witnesses says the lord and my servant whom i chose in order that you know that you may know and believe me and understand that i am he before me no god was formed and after me none shall be i am the lord and besides me there is no savior save save your right moshiach i am your only savior there is no other and therefore in gamora brachos we have this very awkward scene where it's describing when moses asked god i want to know you i want to know your ways show me your glory well see he was really asking him why do bad things happen to good people why do bad people prosper what's that all about meaning what is the reward for good people and how does it work there must be a system i want to know so actually what hashem did was he said you'll not see my face you only see my back and when he showed him his back it means he showed him the back of his to fill in which is a letter dalid the letter dalit and what does the dollar represent we'll find out so listen to this fill shelter that god showed moses the not the word kesher means the connection but here means a not in kesher zahu the concept behind this particular knot as mentioned in brachas over there to fill in shall mari alma mate the gomura actually wants to know if god is wearing to fill it which again these are all metaphors because god is not physical he doesn't actually wear physical filling he may wear whatever he wants he's god but it's not that he can even wear it in other words what does he have in his mind what is he thinking about right and he's thinking about the jewish people just like we in art to fill in have verses that speak about how great god is and how much he loves us so too hashems to fill in are speaking about the praises of the jewish people and how much that relationship means to god so here we have masik sham katu behem and now we're turning the page hashem i would have put three dots because really it's a continuation this is in um in chapter 27 of 26 of deuteronomy verse 17 and 18. i actually want to also read 19 for you so it's number six in the source sheet because it's a very unusual word so there's different translations um it says you have selected or affirmed or designated we're going to see rashi the lord this day to be your god to walk in his ways to observe his statutes his commandments and his ordinances and to obey him the next verse and the lord has affirmed or selected or designated you this day to be his treasured people as he spoke to you and so that you shall observe all his commandments and to make you supreme above all the nations that he made so that you will have praise and a distinguished name and glory so that you will be a holy people to the lord your god as he spoke it's very interesting to read this rashi rashi says in the beginning we don't really find this word amirkha or amarta too many other places but as a clue it must mean and he gives other examples separation and distinction so god separated us or distinguished us and we do the same thing to him with for him and this is what it means from all the pagan deities you have set the lord apart the lord for yourself to be your god and he in turn separated you to him from all the peoples on the earth to be a treasured people okay that's really all i wanted to show you on that rashi um it's it's very interesting this symbiolic relationship which we're going to talk about now america what is god saying god is saying atem you the jewish people started with abraham you guys you have made me a single unit where you identify me as a single unit or you affirm this idea that's what the shema is about and affirmation as being one in this world through shema hashem ok i'm going to make you a single unit and that's what we are we've discussed this whole idea how we're all interconnected the jewish people on a higher level and then the whole world on a let's just say a lower level we're all connected and he says your ship to fill and this is actually the point the idea of this knot in the back on the filling now even the word kesher means a not but it also means like to tie to make that connection like we tie we produce this connection like a hotam we're producing and making this connection as a stamp or a signature on our hearts and on our arms this concept of the unity of god that's what we're doing with it's filling we're causing this sign to be shown to the world that we believe on our hearts and in our arms that hashem is one like we talked about god wearing to fill in whatever that means god obviously doesn't wear physical to filling he's not physical but just as hashem he's mesimoto he himself is placing us it's as if he's placing us as a sign on his arm again what does that mean and on his heart on his heart and on his arm like a stamp like some kind of a tsun a mark la asos actually to make us one nation now al haaretz or baarez is talking about earth's israel but real the truth is it doesn't matter where we are it could mean the whole world that he's going to make us one nation unique in the world the word the word echad is not just one but unique but yes it's true on all these levels we are one and we are unique now i want to just read um in second it's first chronicles chapter 17 verse 21. now i believe you'll find this towards the end of the sorcery we're going to get into it a lot am i right is it on the store sheet yeah it's number 27 on verse on page 7. um who is like your people israel one nation in the world see it's not just earth israel who is like your people one nation in the world whom god went to redeem for himself as a people to make you a name of great and fearful things to drive nations from before your people whom you redeemed from egypt and you made your people israel to be to you as a people forever and you o lord became their god now we say this in the afternoon on shabbat in our prayers or our i'm going to say daily prayers in it is a daily prayer but it's unique on shabbat we don't say this every day of the week but this verse is said in the prayers and look at rashi and who is like your people israel one nation and how are they singled out from all the other nations in this manner whom god went by himself to redeem for himself a people as a people as as it is written it's in exodus 11 verse 4 i shall step forth in the midst of egypt so there you see we were singled out he didn't do this for any other nation in the world he stepped out he came up to bat for us and then it says to drive nations from before your people who you redeem from egypt so in other words the land of israel had seven canaanite nations and he drove them out for us and since you are one in your world and your people are singled out from all the other nations therefore it is fitting for you to give them a proper and great king i believe this is referring to meshiach in other words our meshiach is the king of the jews is the king the king of the world and of course comes from the tribe of yehudah from the seed of david just like we are unique and god is unique so too he would give us a fitting king who would be less fitting who who would you want his king for such a great nation other than the messiah the messiah has to be jewish okay so the clear car continues in other words the kesher which really means not here he's using in the sense that's the connection this is the kesha between us between between boreh with our creator hashem bless being said that each one of us is testifying on the other we're testifying to him obviously through our actions in the midst but here particularly with the with the with the uh with to fill in but also with the the reciting the recitation of the krishna by the way just so you didn't in case you didn't know the shema is in its villain okay kederik shabo lee wrote and just as one comes to see so too one comes to be seen this is i think a little poetic the idea that we have a corbin riya that's brought on the hageem when you come to usually and you don't come empty-handed but you come with a special offering and it's to see hashem and to be seen by hashem and he says all this so far is up until now we have only scratched the surface of what the simple explanation is now we're going to go deeper i'm not kathia rem is yomer basod i am the doubt now however in a deeper sense we're going to say that the secret of this large iron and dalid is an indian kesher to fill in and it relates to the knots within its villain kimosha bikesh again what was moses requesting look in exodus 33 18. now we have to go find that it is on sourshi i hope i brought it down found it yeah it's number seven on page two it's exodus 33 18. this is what moses says to god the homer harini no esquivodecha show me now your glory which as i mentioned means i want to know about the the um the the prize the reward waiting in the world to come but how does it work why do some good people suffer and why do some evil people prosper especially knowing the next verse which i'll just quote now and that is in proverbs 3 verse 35 because basically bk lee rose called matanz what moses was requesting was to be able to perceive to see whatever reward is waiting for the righteous not only in this world but in the world to come because he knew this verse in proverbs when i say he knew the verse it means he knew the principles that king solomon later wrote about because there's nothing new under the sun and it says the why shall inherit honor so those who are righteous those who are wise they obviously inherit something so there is there is a reward waiting in the world to come however how did god respond right the first response is this idea you'll see in exodus 33 23. so that's number nine on the surshit he says well you cannot see my face and live basically but here he says then i will remove my hand and you will see my back but my face shall not be seen very test you'll see my back up but my front you will not see what was being said first of all what does it mean you'll see my back what's the back represent whatever is less important well here it means acharai means the kesha that's filling you'll see this dalit which is behind my it's in my back key but filling yea shame shin dalidh i'll say it once the holy name of god sha dai shin dalidh is imprinted throughout the tifilin and the knots when it's filling i do have a picture here number 10. you have a shin that's protruding from the sides one is a three um a three pronged shin the other one's a four pound prong shin so you have that protruding out of the sh out of the head to fill in then you have the dialed back here and you have a yud on the arm which is right here by the way uh facing towards the heart i just showed you my right arm because i'm left handed but everyone else in the world they put on their weak arm which is their left arm but it's towards the heart okay and that's where it is so that's where the uid is so just think about this the shin and the unit are in the front the dollar is in the back so i'm only going to show you my back but my front you will not see what is it about the front that god does not he's not interested in showing him or it's impossible to see let's see so we just mentioned that hazal saying what is the achara my back that's the knot of the villain because because he befilling yay shame shall shakai the hainu the dalit is the kesher of the film in the back whereas the you and the shin are the letters that they spell out the word yesh in the front so in the front there's yesh what is yesh yesh your chin means substance there's something there's reality momoshos yeshus there's actually something there what's missing in the back we'll see in a second but that's in the front dainuchin is really referring to the reward of the world to come now there's a verse in proverbs 8 21 and this is very very important anybody wants to know what is waiting for us in the world to come yes look what it says there is substance to give inheritance to those who love me i will fill their treasuries what does it say in hebrew yes i am going to bequeath there's a there's a gift to those who love me yes that's what's waiting for you whatever yash is substance reality that is what's waiting the in the so the indication is in the front meaning it's yet to come it's like the world to come and you know what nobody can see that that's what we're going to get to this whole idea that moses wanted to see god says no i'm going to show you the back i'm going to show you the dalit of this world do you recall when we spoke about this dalit which should have in mind when you say the shema the dalit is about the um about the arbor it actually does represent this world when we think of of this world actually perfection in this world is seven right we talk about the seven different levels of heaven perfection in this world and that's why there's seven noah laws that's why they're seven continents that's why they're seven seas that's why they're seven days of the week that's why the number seven is so prominent throughout the physical world and that's perfection in this shabbos shabbos is perfection in this world where it's actually a doorway and leading into the world to come but it's only but it's perfection in this world that's why seven is so important and the dollar represents the physical world north east southwest as we'll see two verses one is regarding abraham and one is regarding moshe as we know this week's partial moses begs praise asked to come into the land but god says no go up to the top of the mountain i'm going to show you the different directions which is this world let's see how the clear car continues and after he used the verse in proverbs 8 21 because what's going to be found in the world to come true substance true reality would be ergonomic and its value would be considered really evaluable and compared to this world which is compared to almost nothingness tohu the ion that's what this world is compared to in value to the world to come the removes bidalid and that's hinted through in the dollar which is in the back kiyatrono balmy called because its advantage whatever is good about this world it comes from the four i like to say four corners of the earth but we know the earth is round although i have some friends who don't believe that and that's okay it doesn't matter let's move on that you're talking about the idea of northeast south and west and so we have the first verse he brings from genesis chapter 28 verse 14 where god says to abraham and your seed shall be as the dust of the earth and you shall gain strength whisper westward and eastward northward and southward and through you shall be blessed all the families of the earth and through your seed now just keep in mind yama means west because the sea is in the west vikkad the east is kadam it's fona spona is obviously the north and the negba the negev is in the sound oh by the way so i think i made a mistake here i know i made a mistake so when it comes down to what we mentioned in genesis 28 that's way after abraham this is talking to yaakov and the promise there's tiakov the promised abraham is regarding the land itself and the whole land but in terms of of yaakov so those words about the different directions were used when it comes to moses in chapter deuteronomy chapter 3 verse 27 go up to the top of the hill and lift your eyes westward and northward southward and eastward again the word for westward is yama we're going to have to discuss this why is yama yama the the west because we said that's where the sea the mediterranean sea is uh a little bit of a different language but it's still the same four directions okay so let's continue now when it says like this what was hashem saying hashem was telling her moshe the reita you'll see my back the dalit you're going to see the dalit of the knot of the tefillin and that's remed that's all you're going to be able to perceive is the reward in this world that alone is what you'll be able to perceive that it's so secondary meaning what we call the back right the back is something that's called secondary and that has a nickname called the back so too he says to moses which we just quoted chapter 3 verse 27 alayrosha to what was the point of god saying that to moshe lahars local to show him everything that happened in this world in in the past so to speak just like rashi explains in partial vote now i'm taking you on a little journey if you go now to chapter 34 verses one and two so listen to this and we're going to see the rashi on that it says moses went up from the plains of moab to mount nebo to the top of the summit facing urico and god showed him all the land from the gilayaad until dan and all the land of naftali and the land of afri menasha and all the land of yehuda ready i know what translation you have it says until the western sea now in hebrew it doesn't say the word western at all it says until the last sea obviously when you're in jordan looking towards the west the last thing you see the border the end of israel is the mediterranean sea so there's no question that that's what it means for sure he didn't show him the atlantic uh look at rashi so obviously he wanted to show him the borders of australia would end which ends at the mediterranean adhayam which is a very great translation until the western sea but look at rashi until the western sea aad the land in the west of israel in its tranquility and it's in destruction the good and the bad here the sea referred to as the mediterranean sea which represents the westernmost flank of the land of israel now that's the first explanation wait till you hear this i would say put on your seat belts drum roll please another another explanation do not understand the verse as stating hayam but rather read it as though it is saying until the very last day we call what we call the world to come is after the very last day the question does it mean including or not including we'll see shortly meaning that the holy blessed be he showed him all the incidents incidents that were destined to happen to israel until the last day the last day meaning until the time that the dead would return to life until the resurrection of the dead this world is already the resurrection of the dead so god showed him until the last day meaning all of olam hazet so the clear card goes on and says velo ad baklao again the word odd it means until does until mean up until and not including or up until and including so according to rashi according to the clear car this and the way we just understood it it's not included it's up until the resurrection of the dead because it's only from that last day onward is the time that begins the reward of what we call the world to come now this is a very important verse and i'll give a little plug for a recent video class that rabbi kessen gave and he quoted a lot but he said it very fast and maybe people didn't catch it but in isaiah chapter 64. i'm sorry it's 64 verse 3 and where do we find that number 15. those words are no i had ever seen what does that mean right no i had ever seen i in low row also i mean you have to see the whole context and where of no one had ever heard had ever perceived by ear but no i had ever seen a god besides you performed for him who hoped for him what this verse is referring to is what all the prophets they all describe what whatever description they talk about a future world meaning a future world the the heaven and the rewards that is for the lower level people like us alabai we should just get to there right this unbelievable world waiting for us of bliss that is for us on the lower level whoever that is whereas the really righteous people they will not no none of the prophets described it because it's indescribable it's beyond description this is an amazing gomorrah when it talks about who's greater the balchuva or the tsarikamore so basically it comes down to and i'm going to say it's an indecision many people read the game more and say obviously the right the the about truth is greater therefore if that's true that means that what the prophets talk about that's for the righteous people but for the people who sinned and came back they're going to get even greater reward that is indescribable that no eye has ever seen and let's go back now in okay so so based on isaiah 64 verse 3 where we just said that the i had never seen that means upon i lo ye my face you will not see him because in the front you have in in bolded let's just say engrave to a certain extent in the to fill in you have the letters you'd and shin through the knot and the head to fill in which is harams which again hints to that future the future reward that you'll get i share i and laura also which the i never saw or perceived so an ion dollar godola and the clear car is telling us this is the secret or the fundamental concept between between but behind the large iron which even the letter ion means your eye and the dalit which is a letter which represents four meaning represents that the i will only be able to perceive this world meaning that the eye of a person is only able cannot perceive except for this world qa more as we said but this huge shin this idea of the future world is already hinted at in shma israel because the letters of shema israel even though it's not the right order but it's to call the acronym israel is the yud it's israel that's where the yesh they're the ones who love hashem and are going to inherit yesh ki haiyesh haram islam of yesh it hints to those who love him they will inherit yehesh [Music] but rather it's only what we will be able to hear and perceive through this sense that we hear from the rabbis and the prophets the ones who are telling over that's the even the world to come on the lower level who's been there that's going to come back and tell us no one but at least we heard it from the prophets themselves but when it comes to seeing the eye never saw and he says this is a very dear and important principle and hint now stay tuned because after we read the next five or six lines i want to share an insight that i had and so the last few lines starts with davar alternatively you know why we have a large iron and dalit because it says in job it says in job chapter 23 verse 8 and 9 let's find it yeah okay behold i go to the east he is not there capital h e and to the west i perceive him not capital h i am in the north when he capital hg made it i do not see he wraps up the south but i cannot see it either in other words what this idea is that god is not physical he's one and he's indivisible because if you could perceive him in any one place it means that's where he is and he's not the other place and this is the way the clear car expresses it based on that verse all that verse does is prove that god is one you know that he's not perceived in any one given place because that means he's not in the other place which means because he's not physical there's right when you're talking about physicality physicality can be divisible but he's not physical so you can't have to be divided so miyakesha and rose because after the fact that your eye can perceive all four directions and you're not able to see in any one of these four directions you can't say there he is in the north that there he is in the south leficiano geshen because physicality only physicality is divided indivisible things that are not physical cannot be divided and this is my face and this proves it's a nice idea that hashem is is one because he's not physical not cannot be divided and you can see that in job now i had this idea hashem ultimately wants us to be unified that's his wish that's his will and unfortunately when we are divided then calamity comes to remind us how we need to be unified so ravnoch weinberg we're showing that they shot always had said that if we get our act together we can avoid so many punishments or calamities from hashem in other words when we had the skud rockets coming from iraq so we were told you have to carry your gas mask so the roshiva said you know what your gas mac is like a mezuzah you're going to carry it you might as well use it to remember hashem loves you and he's going to protect you and even put some stickers of tahilam on your boxes but the main thing is to learn about the unity of the jewish people treat your fellow nicer so basically there's an opportunity to learn about the octaves of the israel and by that we'll avoid the catastrophe because what does god want god wants us to be one but when we're not one he makes these external forces create situations where we then feel the need to be one i thought about that and i thought about to fill in and i thought about the time of the holocaust and that when we are not united whatever we don't know what the sin of a hundred years of jews living in europe or specifically germany we don't know right we do know there was a high inter-marriage rate we know that there was a very low identification rate in other words they did not identify there was 65 or more of inter-marriage for a hundred years it's unbelievable that they said jerud that they said berlin is our new jerusalem that they forgot about the land of israel they were not interested in meshiach in other words they didn't identify as jews now this is my own thought just like hashem puts signs on himself on his heart and on his arm and this is what we do we put the sign this identification mark on our hearts and our arms it just seems too weird that the nazis yamaksha mam in their perverted and queer wisdom i don't know if i can use queer in that way you know what i mean but that they could have said every jew has to wear a pink hat or red shoes or an ankle bracelet i mean they could have said you know a green belt they could have come up with a lot of you know they could have said striped uniforms right that every you know what they said you have to wear a gold or yellow star on your heart to identify as a jew and they didn't stop there i mean if it was just that okay but they also said you have to wear an armband with a jewish star to identify as a jew i just think this is profound that we don't really understand hashem's ways right most of us i'm not so if we most of i'm going to say it like this that most of us don't understand most of god's ways right there's hardly any of us that have even an inkling but some of us have an inkling okay so i think that this is a very profound and something to think about that hashem ultimately loves us meaning the the god-head name so to speak uk which is our sub-categories but they're all to bring about a um a better relationship so i brought a few verses at the end here to i think that really brings that home so in um deuteronomy chapter 4 verses 7 and 8 so for what great nation is there that god is so near to it as the lord our god is at times when we call upon him when we are experiencing troubles we're near to hashem and sometimes hashem brings the troubles in order to bring us to the point where we cry out it actually says hashem loves it's hard to stomach this but hashem loves the prayers of the siddiquim especially when for example abraham isaac they had a hard time having children you have you know different periods of time where people experience sar king david especially where this was brought about by hashem in order to enhance the relationship uh deuteronomy i read the whole thing let me just read 7-8 in chapter 4 of deuteronomy and which great nation is it that has statutes and ordinances as this entire torah which i set you before you this day okay deuteronomy chapter 33 verse 29 fortunately are you o israel who is like you o people whose salvation is through the lord how great and fortunate are you that you need salvation that the the the shield who helps you your majes majestic sword by the way this is the uk bufke which is our sword your enemies will lie to you but you will in the end shred upon their heights so we have all kinds of enemies there's no question that through history islam and christianity has been our enemies today maybe many of them are lying low and they don't come to us as enemies but beware they will lie to you keep that in mind uh rashi gives an example when we came into land of israel the gibeonites told us and they dressed up for the part and they had the old clothes and these uh old canteens and they came as if they were coming from a far distance but they were one of the seven canaanite nations and they made a treaty with us on used amusing deception the deception was that they're not from the seven canaanite tribes which they really were and it's just the example rashi just gives you an example so beware we have many enemies throughout time and history who lie to us but in the end we will trample their heads so do not worry in deuteronomy chapter 4 verses 33 to 35 did ever a people hear god's voice speaking out of the midst of the fire as you have heard and live or has any god perform miracles to come and take him and take him a nation from the midst of another nation with trials with signs and with wonders and with worm with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with great awesome deeds and all that the lord your god did for you in egypt before your eyes you have been shown in order to know that the lord he is god there is none besides him you understand the jewish people had witnessed and i just wanted to show the rashi here because very interesting since we're talking about the seven heavens you have been shown here er oculus the target manchester renders it very similarly in aramaic uh that you have been shown when the holy one blessed be he gave the torah he opened for israel the seven heavens and just as he tore open the upper regions so did he tear open the lower regions and they saw that he is one can you imagine we're talking about an unbelievable revelation that never happened to any other nation and never happened before never happened afterwards but we have been shown in order to know that the lord he is god there is none besides him everything is under one and in deuteronomy chapter 26 19 god says with god will put us above el yon means supreme transcendental he's going to raise us above all the other nations that he made so that you will praise a distinguished name and glory so that you will be a holy people to the lord your god as he spoke so there are some verses here that i do not quote but this is in psalms 44 23. simultaneously with all this great and gla grander and glory in order to bring hashem's greatness to the world psalms 44 23 for it is for your sake that you were killed all the time that we are considered a sheep for the slaughter we're going to get into this another time i just want to show you that with what we have is the godhead name of rockham sometimes we have din for a reason and that's to bring us closer to hashem as it says in jeremiah 10 verse 10 but the lord god is true he is a living god and a king for the world of the world for his anger the earthquakes and the nations cannot contain his fury in proverbs 3 8 it shall be healing for your navel and the moral of your bones so many verses that explain the same idea that sometimes we do need corrective measures but those corrective measures in our own personal lives and our national lives is ultimately for the good night there's another thing i forgot to mention also we talk about this one god and i mentioned yin yang how the nations see this as two different things so the cleocard talked about this in partial spray sheet when god says the arab evoker and that is this idea that the sun s-u-n the sun is parv in other words it has heat but that heat can either cause tremendous damage or it can create and contribute to tremendous healing what we do what we do our own actions cause the result of what the sun will do the cleocar gave examples for for example an egg which is soft i mean the inside of the egg which is soft you put it in the sun the heat of the sun can cause that soft egg to become hard we'll call it a hard-boiled egg well it's not boiled and then you have wax which starts off hard but once you have the heat of the sun it can make it soft it's what we do the consequences of our actions are going to cause what's going to be are we going to experience heaven in a good way or are we going to experience a rectification process however long or short it is but it's definitely painful and then he also gives an example of the face of the launderer when he goes down to the sea or the the river so he hangs his laundry the sun bleaches or whitens the the the fabric but his own face will become darkened so i want to read from you in malachi it's the very end of all the prophets in chapter 3 verses 19 and then 20. for behold the day is coming i know the gemara actually says there is no ghana what do you mean there's no ghana no what's going to happen is that the sun will be removed from its sheath and the verses say that the evil people will be burnt and the righteous people are going to be healed that's ghana meaning it's a correction it's a fixing and it's the eating the consequences of your own actions let's see what he says for behold the day is coming burning like an oven when all the wicked people and all the evil doers will be like straw and that coming day will burn them up says hashem master of legions so that it will not leave them a root or branch next verse but the s-u-n the son of righteousness it's the same sun will shine for you who fear my name with healing in its rays and you will go out and flourish like the calves fatten in the stall and then you will the wicked trample the wicked for they will be ashes under the souls of your feet from that day i bring about says hashem then the next verse says keep the torah keep the torah okay now what is what am i trying that hashem is one that there's no evil that emanates from god it's the sin itself that causes that negative consequence okay the energy is really blessed but if we create sin we create mistakes we're going down the wrong path then we will suffer the consequences of our actions because that heavenly energy doesn't want and doesn't react nicely with those negative reactions so this rat hashem we can make our own corrections we we can't do it on our own we we need help from an outside source like how do you break out of prison you need somebody to send you a file right send you a birthday cake with a little file whatever it is you need somebody to wrap their horse and the chains around the the gates and pull oh you need help from the outside sometimes so if you can't do it on your own hashem is there rabbis are there friends are there families are there you have people who can help you so you're never alone okay hashem disseminates his wisdom to those that can help you we call them soul doctors and bazrat hashem will understand the path in life so that we don't have to suffer any of the negative consequences but it's not coming from a different source it's all coming from one god and with that i'll say shabbat shalom have a great life and we'll see you if not next week the week after not sure if we're giving a class next week but we'll see so called two of all the best and happy to be to bishop there's a great connection between two bishops not going to go into now look it up exactly six months apart that's true [Music] yes [Music]
