You Curse the Jews You Curse the World by Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston Balak

[Music] welcome everybody marshals Balok we're gonna start with the part two so I need you to go in your source sheets I'll tell you where it's on page four and that's at least as far as the English part now there's also a text part the text part is on the second page meaning there's a Hebrew page both sides at the beginning so it's in the back one so we'll start with that and then you'll refer to page two I'm really sorry it's like that but actually the truth is if you go back to the beginning page with the bottom there actually is important information so do that start over again go to the front page looks like this and it's at the bottom but it runs on to the following page okay so I'll tell you what's going on here first of all bill um he rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey that were in a chapter 22 of numbers and it's verse 21 bill and Rhodes early in the morning and saddled his she donkey and went to the officers of law God's wrath flared because she was going and an angel stood on the road to impede him he was riding when his she bunkie and his two young men were with him now the she ducky saw an angel of Hashem standing on the road with his sword drawn in his hand the sea donkey so the she ducky turned away from the road there's gonna be very important the shiitake turns away from the road and went into the field then bilham struck this shiitake to turn it back onto the road the angel stood in the path of the vineyards a fence on this side and a fence on that side why are we going through all these details this is like who cares does it really matter okay the she dunk he saw the angel the Shem and pressed against the wall and oppressed bilham's leg against the wall and he continued to strike it the angel of the shin went further and stood in the narrow place and there was no room to turn right or left machine donkey saw the angel of the Shem and crouched beneath pillow builds anger flared and he struck the Sheep donkey with his death now this is miraculous the Sheep donkey is Shep opened the mouth of the sheep donkey and it said to billow did you guys all see drek shrek whatever that day it was a movie called Shrek with a talking donkey anyway I guess we are used to talking donkeys especially good because he was not faced ok Hashem open the mouth of the shiitake and it said to Balaam what have I done to you you struck me these three times now we haven't read it in Hebrew yet but you should know like I circled certain things the last thing it says P I he keep twenties a shallow struggling you hit me these three Reglan it's a very awkward language because really if I would say to you you hit me three times I would say shallow spawning three times table is once pemain is twice and pomian could be many times plural but it says your Lord a leave what is readily what does that sound like to you legs okay that's the root do you know the word for pilgrimage right there's three pilgrimages the word is reg L readily because what are you doing a pilgrimage you transport yourself by walking up to you sure life that's why it's called revelry so this word really means pilgrimage well let's just say there's a hint because the Torah could have said three times literally upon me but it doesn't it says shallows rebellion okay so now we're going to go into what the clear car has to say on this parsha and if you if you're using the Ebru sheet you have to go to page four which I'm sure only only a handful you are those are the English sheets I didn't give you the Hebrew shoes on purpose okay so in in verse 23 we read that the she donkey saw the angel of the Shem standing on the road with his sword drawn in his hand so the she donkey turned away from the road and went into the field then bill obstruct the shiitake to turn her back on the road so we're dealing with the words that she turned the shiitake turned from the road so there's a Meldrick said says these are some money see mine a loss hello God showed billon the three pilgrimage festivals right that God showed to him the three forefathers the three fathers not the three forefathers I know it sounds confusing we all have four fathers like forefathers but there are only three of them okay so you have Abraham Isaac and Jacob and I think on the score sheet and page for that day Allison see look at look at the first Rashi these three times a show a shrug Ali it's number 8 on page for these three times he hinted to him you seek listen to these words you Philip you seek to uproot a nation which celebrates these three festivals what are the festivals called shalash Rigga lean in a year so this is cryptic still we're not really making sense of this how is there a a hint I mean we only buy the worst law rebellion but where's the hint of your father's the three forefathers again so that we're going to investigate tonight okay so buckle up and then it says the tail aches de Sade he went into the field right that's what the word said she right and shoulder she does she thought he turned away from the road and went into the field what's a field it's a mahkum Rajas it's a wide vast open place it's not like an alley in a city right it's not a football stadium it's wider it's a field there's no borders it's just you know as far as the eye can see lo Mart meaning to say this is really what's going on here that God was saying you know what villain she even your Tilda Kyle's there are um if your intent and you want to curse the seed of Abraham how's that gonna help you you know why who else is the seed of Abraham besides Isaac you all said you should my help so you want to see the vapor is it that what bill wanted to do he was on his way well guess what you can end up cursing Ishmael you MOT say laka labbayk tour of Ishmael right this perhaps is Katara whether she's Haga or not doesn't matter there were six additional children plus you had your smell these are the seed of Abraham I guess what maybe you want to curse the Itzhak the CW talk who-who who comes out of your talk the immune cell in the Karl's era it's our it's you what occurs the seed of Isaac then the world is diverse a offense on this side and offense on that side what does that mean you're not to get him he's never get him is in verse 24 kiala jato sell a stock that you might end up cursing a South you want to curse the Jewish people guess what you try to curse the seed of Abraham who even a curse you smell and the other children of Qatar and what about if you try to discoursing Isaac and his children you're gonna end up cursing a son ah inside Yakko but from the side of Jacob should i to be taught to Schlemmer this is a very interesting words that his bed was complete what does that mean his bed was complete that his twelve sons were perfect that's what you mean it's all mud BIM Malcolm's are what does the verse say but when we're going back to the river so that she don t turned away from the road went into the field and bilham struck the haedong key to turn her back to the RO I'm sorry so there's 26 to go to verse 26 verse 26 said the angel of Hashem went further and stood in a narrow place so what's the narrow place the narrow place he meets a door aim directly toes yummy the small once you get down to Jacob that's it it's a very narrow place there's no place to turn either right or left the h o drop him off him so unfortunate now up till here we can discuss it Yaakov is in each Emmet he's a man of truth when you're dealing with the truth can you discern any room to go left or right no you want to go the center path now going back to Rashi stated Rashi says eshel oh sure Allah game means what let's just look at those words again in Rashi that was number 8 on page 4 where he said he hinted then the ramones low a time to vocational or boom Oh hola ho geget Slusher I believe in Shanghai you bilham you want to uproot the nation which nation celebrates three festivals every year then you wanna uproot it so if that's true I'll go back to this is in the Meldrick what he's saying is like this that you want to uproot that nation that one nation that celebrates these three festivals nah me nah what do we hear from it what is it telling us Oh Todd schwa shots in my meme that those three signs see history and connect it's laravel dean that they are parallel to the three festivals meaning what so let's go through again the process of where he was number 1 the first simin the first sign it was Misaka min ah sorry with you go to Exodus 23 verse 16 that's Exodus 23 verse 16 it's talking about Sioux Cubs so you can find that where we left off on the source sheet I think that's number time we see this verse and the festival of the harvest that is talking about should who out the firstfruits right that's need time we bring the first fruits the Labor's which you will sow in the field but then the verse goes on and the festival of the in gathering at the departure of the year so that's talking about Sukkot so there's two harvests there's the harvest of the firstfruits and then there's the second harvest of the ingat festival the in gathering at the departure of the year when you gather in the products of your Labor's from the field look down below and Rashi in the middle right when it says in the festival de gathering that's the festival of Sukkot so you know that each one of these festivals are representative by different of the forefathers of the adult but this one is talking about Sukkot the hasta ha be austere hum Assefa Minnesota right when you gather in from the year laborers of your of your work from the field and regarding that what it means over here when it says he turned the the deduct he turned away from the way and went to the field see the word field is also in that other verse meaning Tara tell get hot sausage to lie beside that you Billa you water uproot the nation he wanted to curse that nation of the Jewish people he wanted to curse them people to curse us so the one that celebrates the festival of ingathering that's dependent on what what's the ingathering dependent on the field who bought my cream is receiving party and what do we the Jewish people do on Sukkot we bring 70 Bulls and what did the 70 Bulls represent anybody they represent can maggots even Momo's there are 70 nations they rep at own by bringing a Corbin any one of these every one of these 70 carp on earth especially gotta remember the Kings right are gonna come whether they come or not we're that we're ready so the kings of the different nations they want water they're gonna come they're gonna send em search to shoreline but in the meantime we do our job God says bring the 70 carbonyls the seventy offerings we do that on account upon the account of the atonement thwarted to the world okay that's what happens on Sukkot and if that's the case what is the message that I mean God is talking through the through the donkey what's gonna happen what's the message that's coming across the villa the - l'm going be to God call the most you want to curse the Jews but guess what you're hurting yourself and everyone around you because they're the Jewish nations job is to atone for the world and if you up then you're causing the whole world to suffer you follow so far it's so sad and then afterwards it mentions that we went that the the she donkey took bilham into the footpaths of the vineyard and what does that hint to that hints to the hog epatha and what happened at the time of leaving Egypt look at psalms that's chapter 80 verse 9 so those who just joined were on page 4 and it would be number 10 get fed me meets Ryan Tashia the Jewish people are considered Gethin God transported to Geffen what's the gaff and the Gotham is the Vinton divine the grapevine out of Egypt too garish going and he exiled the seven Canaanite nations in order to plant the Jewish people in Israel he had didn't know tamely I Clara coaching will lead to a Geffen doesn't it make sense that if you're gonna plant a vibrant tree that's gonna give them a fruit that the first thing you do is clear the field from the weeds these nations were like the weeds the thistles we're gonna get more into it and we get to part one the a that I wrote sailor half the Saqqara the locker a crummy McNair coaxing how can you possibly turn over the plate and upper end and and uproot the vineyard on account of the the weaves you do it the other way around first you have to uproot the weeds and then you plant and that's the way Geffen works listen to this shoe near pass purify and bitter Rigali how do you make wine what do you do with grapes you trample them and then in the end well through it wine listen to this what is the gematria of wine you'd-you'd none yayan it's 70 again referring to the sending nations if you want to wipe out the Jewish people bilham you're going you're barking up the wrong tree because you're only hurting yourself in the world how we already said by Sukkot that the Jewish people offer up 70 different books different Corbin alt to atone for the nations of the world if you get rid of the Jews everybody suffers nobody will find their atonement here we're talking about PASOK also there's wine but what happens you trudge you usually focused on the words that says that the that the donkey said you hit me these three times he didn't say Tommy me said shoeless Rigali Shiraz rulers rebellion is Rashi Manton mentioned is about you trying to uproot the nation to keep these three festivals now you're trying to get rid of the nation that keeps Passover so in the end what happens with wine first you trample it and then you become trampled meaning weak and humiliated that's what happens with someone over indulges in drink and he mentions that in the measures but also there are many many comparisons to Israel to the grapevine the Shah maybe Harvick Tim Janos obviously Israel murugesan there's so many comparisons between the Jewish people and the grapevine the Coulomb shock in Lovato - Villa and they were all brought by God in this method of hinting them to get the message across the bill oh you're only hurting yourself that you try to curse the Jews rebels that have a pest off he hinted this by the Passover festival that watch a bozo team are because lion that's not written in the Torah that's a rabbinic concept that we drink four cups of one everyone knows we drink cups of wine it's rabbinic but what is the rabbinic enactment based on its caramel to the four times that God uses language of redemption so if you go to number 11 on your sourcing you can see where God says in Exodus 6 verse 6 and 7 therefore say to the children of Israel i am the lord number one I will take you out I will take you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians number two I will say to you God says from the labor number three our redeem you with an outstretched arm with great judgment and the fourth one is I will take you to me as a people so you can see in the Hebrew the phenomenon of nature I mean a Shem the hopes eighty a Canty says the whole THM I will take you out me taxes if those myths ride and then what do you says the South yet time I will save you each time he says you I will save you first I'm gonna take you I'm going to say to you they got out the attempt and then I'm going to redeem you and then the last thing we'll the custom it can be says I will take you okay so there's two languages of redemption and of course if you look at psalms 113 verse 16 I shall lift up my cup of salvations that's what we use we use the cup of wine to remember the salvations so this is all rabbinic of origin but anything rabbinic I want to tell you a secret it's always in to that it's always they know this is God's world isn't it they know this is what God wants there's no such thing as the rabbi's ever making up a decree that isn't hinted at already in the Torah and therefore they know that this is God's will they care so much about us and they want us to serve a chef properly so on Passover we have four cups of wine to remember the four languages of redemption to actually relive it and as we just mentioned that the wine the four cups of wine are parallel to the cup of salvation for is well who is themselves compared to the grapevine okay she's now going to the next place and he mentioned Roger said about the four languages of redemption now this is a little harsh conecta McAdoo's burro who masks illumos are because those talk a lot parallel to our four cups of redemption God thieves or helps drink the nations of the world four cups of poison I don't know if that's the best translation but it's the unhealthy stuff so basically he's telling this is member of God through the donkey is telling villain it's a tarantella court codes how do you wanna do it all that the hackneyed for sheet the baby show me I mean to like mix everything up you're cursing the Jews they're the blessing for the world it's not the Jews than to the curse and then afterwards it says the AH mode the muhkam Tsar is right he stood in a very narrow place and there was no place for him to turn left or right that's parallel shoe Lewis at Sarris what happened on a terrace on Shabbos that's the day you received the Torah and then we understand what it says in miss lane miss Leigh is Psalms verse a chapter 3 verse 16 so that you will find on I think the last page not to let ya page 5 it says the length of days in it is in its right hand and it's left hand of riches and honors we're obviously talking about the Torah and the people who acquire Torah so therefore there was no place to go no not to the left not to the right the only way is right down the middle the email in Hebrew you structurae if Israel had not received the Torah Hey look closer the toboe the whole world would have gone back to nothingness like it was before God created the world remember on the very first day everything was taught over though everything was nothingness enjoyed that if the Jews this was a condition that God made with all creation he made the heavens where he made the mountain swear that if the Jewish people did not accept the Torah at Mount Sinai the revelation the whole world would cease to exist and we know that it still exists today because Jews are still learning Torah if a Jew anywhere in the world still learning Torah the room continued to exist okay well you call it a little Italian I guess what would happen if that happens again bill of God is telling bill um through the through the donkey you idiot you want to uproot the Jews you want to curse the Jews so how world would disappear you wouldn't be standing on anything to put them the whole world would be I don't know kaput kaput a quarter to like the Romans say how do you ever expect her to uproot this nation that's how gay gets hard there that celebrates this festival again because he mentions why do you hit me that the donkey says why do you hit me these three times you are after those people to uproot those three faster the people that celebrate these three festivals he could have said shalash paviva nice LOL raaaaahh lean shallow Srilanka Colleen are the three festivals she H boats are o'clock : Bose there's a need for the world for the Jews to celebrate will the : m change of a mallow sugar Motta that not just the earthly existence but even the angels would cease to exist everything would cease to exist now it's very possible he says when it mentions about the footpaths within the vineyard she Goblin me show the chromium rev as well a tarantella Karuma ho ho get a tiger pass off they remember he said when they walked through the footpaths of the vineyard he was telling him that his exam you want prove to the nation and celebrate space rock the show to Barbie cousins that nation that drinks the four cups of salvation and that is what according to another opinion that it's actually parallel the four cups the four salvations are parallel the four exiles that we go through in history and what about yon he brings us down now in the ballot Orion that the word yawn I mentioned before is you'd you'd nut you're this 10 times 2 cos 2 yards and none is 50 it equals 70 miss Marsh even at 70 can negate she beam almost parallel to the 70 nations who beat those are going gone can't beat the cauchy member must and if you're gonna wipe out the Jewish people you idiot Billa you're gonna wipe out the entire world the world stands on what we're gonna see right now ready for this you're talking on the fresh Stephen possibly explain when it says why do you hit me these three times right the donkey says why do you hit me these three festivals why do they need these three you said it means a foot because a chair has how many feet it needs minimum of three floors better but we say that the world stands on three things three pillars you know where we say that we st. per cow vote chapter one the second mission er so he says like this ankertill a Paloma how about a second push much debarring you want uproot the nation that is strengthened through three things I share a lamb hole and I will make that the whole world is standing on these three principles which are they the highness no sugar garlic Rob they hold on the three pillars of the world and what are they Torah Avedon and a middle school study so I mentioned here if you look perfectly a vote this number 13 on page 5 Shimon asabi Simon the righteous Hayami sharukh and the unshaken desk of the dollar he was a the last surviving members of the great assembly and you know what he used to say who I owe me a shallow should've re mo mo made on three things the world stands these are the pillars of the world al Torah I'll go down I'll get mr. sub-dean service of God now we're going to talk about that a lot then next week but Avedon means the service in the temple it also means prayer but on Torah on the service of the temple which of us say is equivalent to prayer and good meals for subbing which is kind Act that's it now what did you want to do keep be to love haters call if you try to uproot these three pillars with the Jewish people stand on you're going to destroy the world but world standing on these things the most well good news for Saudi now how did the shiitake hint to acid the kind acts because it says tail act the sedan to go and die he went into the field what does the field remind you of he could muster Saudi Minister there he you know you want to uproot the the acts the kind accent happened from the field what do we talk about charity we're just charity begin okay I know because at home but it begins with money right money is always helpful so to determine the my stress through the the agricultural laws of giving a tenth of the field and the portion to the Carney and portion to the lithium and leaving the other there's other mices there's other times and what's left behind and what's forgotten about and the corners of the field all remember the Book of Ruth okay so all the kind things that you can do to poor people by giving them the ability to pick the gleanings from the field that's why it says the field and what about the above in there in the temple so that would be compared to what it says by the the temple itself is composing a vineyard listen to this words if you go to song with songs chapter 2 verse four which you could find number fourteen it says in English he brought me to the banquet hall and his attraction to me was symbolic of his love what is the banquet hall what is the banquet hall look in the Hebrew have the ami L base hyeyeon he brought me to the house of wine that's what it says in Hebrew he brought me 10 houses one boot on the temple we're talking with the basic Nick - and that's also symbolic again of the seven what do you think to pick the house of all people right you have servants that's the Jewish people we're serving you we're serving the nation's so the house of God is called base hyeyeon forget what it says in the English she brought me to the banquet hall look at the Hebrew base thing I in the house of wine Z Illinois that was referring to the Illinois the tabernacle and regarding that it says look ensure she reads chapter seven verse 12 and 13 cut my beloved let us go out to the field to lodge in the villages let us arise early to the vineyards again of reference to the field that's we said earlier and the vineyards here's the temple and then what about a mahkum sorry sure ain't Derrick lintels yummy the small a very narrow place where there was no place to maneuver left or right that's the Torah there's no place to maneuver that's it it's the written word and it is hard to steal you cannot be moved and that was he claims this is his signature the Derrick's declare their Rehman's the honk this was a proper explanation and hint to everything [Music]
