Yom Kippur : Accessing the Nuclear Power of the 13 Attributes of Mercy

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning rabbi welcome everyone this is our last year before young kipper so we're going to speak about the indian the uh theme of the slightest that we say during the assassination before rosh hashanah and certainly anyam kippur itself and that is and we have really remarkable statements in shas about the power and the efficacy of the moment the gemara says in rosh hashanah and zayn the gemara says says if the pasik would not have said it you would not have been able to say it would not have been possible to say it on the pulsar vayavar hashem al-pannab vayikra and god passed before his face and he cried out if the passage wouldn't have said it you could not have said such a thing made this teaches us that god wrapped himself like a say and he showed moisha the order of tv and he said to him cosman whenever the jewish people sin ya suluf they should perform this order i will forgive them so here we have so to speak uh a promise it seems where the ibrahim says any time the jewish people sin they should follow this arrangement and i'll be mutual them furthermore the mark continues on that base um there is a covenant sealed for the thirteen attributes they will not be reverted empty-handed shinema behold i have sealed the covenant so here not only do we have a promise we have a guarantee we have a treaty that has been convened on the yurgi moments that will they will never be turned back empty-handed and we could apply the same phrase as the gemara that if not that somebody asked this question i don't think we would have the right to ask this question it's a question maybe we all want to ask but it's a question maybe we wouldn't ask but the acronym do raise this question and we'll start with the reishi's dividas contemporary of the arizal who wrote the classic work gracious who writes that he heard from the name of the gaoinem he quotes the gemara in rosh hashanah and he says here it is we many times we say you'd go to him are we always answered and he doesn't just say are we always answered he says emphatically we are not always answered and yet the gemara says that is said anytime the jewish people sin they should perform before me this ritual the gemara says breath crucifix as far as i know we don't have too many brisk crusades in kalatarakula any things that three bansham has sealed a covenant on and he has guaranteed and he has made a treaty that anytime we invoke we will be answered so that's question number one here it is we scream out the agimo middletown dozens and dozens and dozens of times nosferatu says it every single day but we certainly say it in the sliches and onion kipper we say it again and again and again especially young kipper knight and by niwa is the main theme of naila and yet as the racist that's question number one question number two does the safer avne shayham from hagoen haiyu xiaomi remote shelby shachar who has a little conscious on your gimbal middle and he is madayak what does the gemara mean he showed maisha say that they should do this order what do you mean this order should say this fila this prayer what do you mean a say there the word kasay there implies that it has a special order a special ritual special methodology what's the method just say it now furthermore if the gomorrah says the assailant i can say they're like this order we know whenever it says there that means it was something moisturizer had a difficult time with like by the menorah what was the problem here what is the difficulty here what is the complexity over here that hashem has to say do like this as if this is a complicated thing just open up the book open up your art scroll sitter and rattle off yes now rabb says maybe cassay there implies that just like we know in shema israel you have to dive in in an order you can't do hashi venus and then we and then you have to go in order the government says shimon hapakuli arranged a specific order perhaps then you would give me the only work if you do it in the order that it's mentioned but he says it one would reasonably assume that the order is not after all if you look throughout the order is always changed up in in kisa it's different than in than in s when david malach listed in paiva and teslav and kovhimal so that's the question number one we cry out your mommy sarah day and night we're not always answered number two what is the significance of kisses there what do what does it mean a special order third why haze as if marsha beno had a difficulty and finally number four question number four is bris what's the bris bris implies a treaty between two parties what's the treaty between two parties god says if we say it he's going to do his part but we don't have to do anything that's not a treaty god's going to be finished that's not a treaty god says i will be michael you so what do we have to do there's no treaty here a treaty implies you have two parties both party has to fulfill their end of the bargain but we don't have an end of the bargain we just rattle off some kind of mysterious ritual and god he's michael us it's not a it's not a treaty it's a hazard let's read number four inside vietnam this terminology implies that there's an order that's in a special way to do it like god showed my soul hashem did not reveal what exactly we need to do other than hashem wrapping himself like a shaykh furthermore the fact that khazal used the language of that implies that uh there's a a question here like we find by my show is naskasha the the noillite of the lavana mushad akash about the zealot what is this thing um so you could say he suggested but you could say simply like and it's not so too you need to have in the crease you give me those however he says that's difficult to me because we find many references to gimme this that they're not in order we find that it's skipped and the you'd give me those are not mentioned like in partial furthermore that which it says it's bris crusa that needs explanation when it says krista's bris a crisis brits implies between two parties yes because that esau has to do their part and god does his part but we know what god does but what do we have to do so let's look in these seyfat swarhamar say for suramar was written by rabbi avram sabah abraham was one of the guru shay's safarad and i believe he was the grandfather-in-law of maran bet yosef because moshe asked about them when did moshe ask about them moshe asked hareni no ask so hashem said oh you want to know my glory you want to know my covet you want to know my identity as he as the gomorrah says now fracta the question we said before from the racists we take the talis we wrap it around their head we sway we we jump we we frolic we stand on our heads we could even spit wooden nickels and we say you'd give me some and garnished health and what's the shot the answer is not to say it you know what value saying has nothing what is saying they need to do it they need to do what i do what do i do i'm a raccoon i'm a rakhima nim i'm a khannon i'm compassionate on the downtrodden i don't get angry easily but you pal at home every time somebody does something you don't like you get angry right away so you could go to school and you should scream your head off don't do anything the point is not to get angry not in at home the last is said not once a month yeah i'm a big balchester once a month i do i make a parlor meeting every other year what do you do every single hour rav said are your maverick on your midos or you stand up every little thing that you feel you deserve you need are you marvel on your middles you're not marvin you're me though so you're giving me this tracking don't work but if you follow if you do what god does if you model god's behavior as he move to him if you become a rachman if you become if you're doing yourself they're guaranteed to work but guess what pal abu im hey max zarim but you're a cruel person but i say risha and you're wicked so that's why you're giving me those raccoons don't work actually pal when you say you give away you make things worse for yourself because you're saying what you should do and then you don't do it so you know what stay in bed koh shiken shaha scars you've given me this hamilton i will show compassion to who i decide to meaning who do i decide to to those who act that way meesha that's why god appeared to moshe and modeled to masrabenu how he should act lambda what should your name be what should you be called you should be called in the eyes of others iraq that is the answer to surah hamar kasha number one what exactly is uh we cry out you're giving me this we're not answering because we don't do them because we just say it and what does it mean this is an order this is a mode of behavior there's a recipe of how to act not what to say moshe had a hard time because moshe needed to know what do we need to do and then obviously the brisk crusa the treaty as we're going to it's a treaty every both parties have a job to do god does what he does provided we do what we do this is not only the opinion of the tsar hamara the racist himself and number six allah doesn't mean you go to the store and you buy a fancy atara say their hamidos you should do the arrangement of the middle shallam which is doesn't do anything only acting this is a response to those who are not answered that which god promised that will not be returned empty-handed when we do that if you say it and you don't do it garnish talfin now he doesn't say garnish telephone but he doesn't say we have no problem no you know all bets are off kobe it does something um god do us a favor make it that not only if we even if we don't act this way if we just say it that should also be payable a little bit the also agrees he says this answers all the questions um there is a program of action for the jewish people acting in accordance with the thirteen principles the last soy said illumilo to do kindness one with the other and this is our share in the covenant and once we do our share god will do his share and he will cloak himself bemidaz tuvai he will be royce this is the say there this is the recipe this is the formula through which god promises he will help us and the reason we are not answered we know why because we we sway and we pray but we don't act that way how do you like that one okay there's aquino with zachino now we are zorkha to understand the next paragraph ladakh in the order now we can understand the order it's interesting what's the order and we say and then and yet everywhere else in tanakh it's when we talk about god it's always khan on varacham for example in tehillah emperor kofir aleph para kofir bays park test park in zion in tehillim um rahu no in in tehillim you do have an example where it's there it's talking about um the hashem that hashem showed to moshe so it said rakhimakan and the way hashem showed it to masha but it says it's because for a human being the program of acquiring these medicines first you have to become merciful in your heart and then you can be compassionate to others but in god since these medois exist inherently it's not one is not contingent on the other it doesn't have to say rachel before however marv rabbi said despite the fact that this is the opinion of the racist chakra and the trahamar and the sapir and the kadosh and the abner shayam and these six goddaulim it is not unanimously held that you have to actually do something to be answered by by the yudygimo midasaracham and that is rabbin take a look in rabbin first robin mikhail says that nowadays that we're in galas by the way did you know that we're in gullah today that new york city is not yerushalayim this is not the end game for the jewish people queens brooklyn 510 that's not the goal right we're supposed to one day you can actually sell your house don't get too attached don't you know i only say what i say okay so rabbina bakaye says the name we don't have the high priest all we have left is we learn the order of the tv so so far we don't have anyone who explicitly says that it does something just to say you give me this comes the hafla with pinchas and he says some want to say that you have to actually do them like hazard i don't know about that i am inclined to think even if you don't do them that fila will be effective and the raya is how does it go by the way you know islam it's important to know that there's a big mach like this between the resha nim and the mikhail balim what are the urging are the words hashem hashem part of the opinion of the ballet toys this is they are hashem is before the hate what does that mean he's moroccan before the hate even though he knows you're going to sin he still has rachmanis the opinion of the arie is that hashem hashem are the father the so to speak the roish the russian but they're not technically part of your gimmick it starts with kale so according to the ari i understand why it says kel harasso because we could say that that's the first so you'd give me the sarah man but according to the ballet toys this why does it say caleb why not the one meda that you can't do you could be compassionate you could be merciful you could be slow to anger but you know one thing you can't be is you can't be god why does it say kale haresa to teach you not like the above mentioned sekshita's you don't have to actually do it you just have to say it the haraya you can't be kale so how does it kill horace yes from here we learn just say it and if you just say it you're good to go that's a great promise all right i'm in on that i'll rattle it off all day i'll be a aksar and i'll rattle it off all day but then says he has no not so fast who says you can't be a kale we know the gemara magilla says on the pasuk israel me karoy kale like yourself ulami so you see an adam could reach the madrega being a kale so it's not a raya just because rybanishlam said kale it's not a raya that you have to do it it's not right that you don't have to do it it could be you do have to do it and it's possible for a human being to reach madrego of cal so we have a very interesting nachos the hamar the racist the sapir the abney and they all say if you just say it you're not doing anything you got to do it the hafla even saying it alone accomplishes there's another very interesting shita there's the of the safer was written by the brother of the morale of prague and he first maintains you gotta do it and he says why is it that you need a minion to say you're gonna be the sarah man after all they're such why can't you just say it at home that's why it's very important to dab and slickers of the minion because you don't have a minion you can't say you're going to so what are you saying you're saying all the parts which are not really critical they're you're missing out the meat and potatoes those you you lose out the main part of us but the beat as in may you know why you need 10 he says like this you don't the truth is nobody has to have all 13 midos to be answered yeah you don't have to have all 13 midis but in the minion you need to have a representation of all your gimo middles means you have to have somebody who has made us cal you have to have somebody ask me this rachel you have to have somebody's meeting in the minion you need it that's why you're now to say it without a minion because you don't have a minion the chances of you having all 10 all 13 are nil but in a minion you have a fighting shot but he says but nowadays at a typical minion you don't have all 13 and that's why we're not answered that's the third shita meaning the six ah and we quoted in the beginning they hold you have to do it we don't know exactly how many others the hafla as it said you just have to say it according to the safer you need in the minion a representation of all your gimmicks yomtif he has a very interesting shita here and that is that the bris that is crouson you're giving me sarah is it's krusa on each one of the ut now it doesn't say whether it's enough to say it or you need to actually do it but it's each one of the 13 principles of mercy there is a covenant that if you have it you will be answered you don't have to have all thirteen look at number thirteen commission just like there's a sealed covenant there that bris includes 13 breeze eyes for each and every meda that is why there are 13 breeze sites by bris mila to indicate that there's a brisk for each one okay now so we have a major mach like this over here many shita is told that if you don't act in the ways of the yoga meets they don't accomplish anything here's the problem most people don't even know what they are you can't do it if you don't know what to do so any who knows the difference between kale rachel khan rav hassan ms ms what am i supposed to do what do i do we could start by not taking i was in the store i saw a guy walk into the store and he ate a cherry why in the world would he want his nasham to have to come back to this world because he ate one cherry it's geneva then the guy took a yate nemon he took a newspaper that they sell for two bucks and i hope his ticket is that since i saw it maybe other people will learn from that you know how to do it it wasn't the fjj fjj is free he told you the guy took a newspaper what happened to the ten commandments don't steal what happened to that one what about the people take peanuts that's like in saddam they stole the pakis misha bruta you know anyway that's that's the starting point of ms but you think that me this how is ms one of them either surrogate look at number 14. we're going to try to do very quickly the vilnigan's explanation of the yud gimo midosarachamen vayavar hashem apono the shame it says god passed by his face and he called out hashem the shame in his designated name for 40 days when he wanted god to reside within us hidav in the tfila of hashem hashem pasik taima the first one is the fun of like it says even though god knows that we will sin he continues to make the heartbeat so here it is you know a guy is out to get you you know a guy is trying to to do something against you you still help him out that that's the first thing you give away that's not so easy even after somebody hurts you you're still merciful on them what's kale bao kayak goddal shakeo bahama means power so what does it mean i should be powerful i should work out brought to loimer even more intense even if you're aroused to anger you squelch it and that's the meat of kel what's rachel mcconnun they're both russian of rahmanus but they're two kinds of rachmanas one is mitsad one is you feel bad for the person the person is oppressed or needy or lacking base meets your love for the person like a father to a son he finds favor in the in the eyes of the person who he's asking from so there's one is and one is one is to have mercy on people because of their need and one is to have mercy on them just because you like them so here you have a guy you don't like the guy and there's a good reason you don't like the guy but is that you should help him out just because you want to or not because even he needs it simply put maharaja slow to get angry okay is when you help somebody where you're not making too ms you pay somebody back you owe it to him now is more is greater in quality but not an amount because when you give more than you need to you usually don't give a lot more you know if you you give so you go um you take a haircut so the ms is what you owe the guy and the kasir is the tip so most people the tip is there's a small amount but rav has it is even the amount that you give which is over and above it should be a lot that was brought to you by local barber okay now then he says hashem remembers what our voice did and um which is the order of hashem beerus intentional sin rebellious and unintentional sin rabbis are so fundamental to this time of the year they have flourished one of the reasons why we say la is because the shame havaya appears in it 13 times that's one of the reasons why we say it twice a day during the yemelo and the yamanaram so it's interesting this is an idea that we've spoken out many times that we know that we start davening every morning right before particular zimmer we say the price of ishmael oymer which is the oddest way to begin chakras considering the fact that we're not about to learn gemara if we're up to me i would put ismael in the opening page of the gemara every time you learn you're right you say review but considering the fact that you're not allowed to learn gemara during davaning right how do we know that because most people like to learn gomorrah during davening so obviously the sahara is very interested in people learning gemara a lot of how many black gemara learned during khazar it's a mitsuba vera you're not going to learn during hazard such as if your maverick during you got to why in the world are you saying ruby shemalayan so he says because there's a there's a concept that the venezuela brings from the market of mesrich and that is the urgimo midos spawn to the middle that if you want to be ma'ira you want to arouse god's attributes of mercy the way you do that is by learning you're given it rashes for him they awaken the corresponding midos so for instance according to the mekobalam that the first haraham is kale say how are you are god's media of kale you learn kawahimer so it says the maggid and the vanessa brings us down the maggid learns that when moisture abbe no davend by when miriam had saras khael na reform allah moshe wanted to awaken the meat of kale so god says you want to awaken the meat of kale you have to learn dine kava khaimer via viha yara act if her father would have spit in her face hallelujah she would have been ashamed for seven days so miriam should be locked up for seven days now we understand the reason why we say rabbi shmuel aymer before we dive in because since davening is we want to be ma'aya or that through saying the ago middle shattered rashes behind but uh rabbi bark simon and his safer immigrant points out that this should also remind us that one of the purposes of learning torah in general is to acquire your gimo mido is so a person can be learning uh something that seems academic something that seems very cerebral but one needs to ask themselves is this torah that i'm learning having an effect on my personality and my midos am i becoming more of a raccoon and more of a channel so my rabbi said today is the eighth day of tishrei today is called the day of your gimbal so that's what we said in uh in this morning why is today says because today the eighth day of tishrei is the day that shalom inaugurated the first base of mikdash and he prayed that all the filos that are set in this location should go up through the shamayim and throughout the golos all that filo should always come to shaman via this location so he already paved the way that today is a great yay mat fila this is a very unique yay matfilah not just in the morning but the whole day and therefore we take advantage of it as the rabbin bakay says with our last remaining arsenal and that is now just to conclude there's something called midos tata there are two levels of yugioh zarakomi because in the hummish we have hashem hashem we have a different version of it so i'm going to give you just a little flavor of the challenge of what these you give me this are upon us as we know the safer timer devara was written describing god's attributes of mercy and because he says we were created in the image of god for us to be true to to the way we were created if we don't act in those ways of mercy so then we're so to speak like uh we're uh we're a fake we're we're making ourselves a fake version of being created in the image of hashem so i'll give you one simple example first just to read from the term of the viral number 17. a person is fitting to be come similar to his creator besides and then he will be in the secret of the image on high smuss because if we just look like god physically and not in our actions we're not being true to our image a lot of people say nice picture bad axe my rabbi so let's see the first mida mikhail kamika god who is like you hamid this meda reflects that god is a insulted king soyvel who bears inside insult mashallah orion which is beyond comprehension meaning the first attribute to try to emulate is under being a soyvel tolerating tolerating insult there's no question nothing is above and beyond god's purview we know we all believe every moment of our existence god is fueling our existence if we're alive god is saying to the heartbeat god is saying to the lungs and heal oxygen god is saying to the the cells bring in all the nutrients every moment of existence god is giving it existence if god would we would refrain momentarily from giving us existence we would disappear now let's imagine a guy who sins against god a guy who at the moment he's speaking lashin hara what is god doing to this person god is giving him eyesight god is giving him air god is giving him life at the ver where does he have the energy to sin with who's giving it to him god how does god tolerate that why god said look it's ba you know it's bad enough i have to give you life now you're giving the you're using the gift that i'm giving you to sin against me imagine if somebody says you know do you mind if i borrow your car so i can ram it into your front house you're going to lend it to him could you help me find the job so that i could oust you from your job you're going to help him look at god's medos there was never a sinner that at that very moment god was not showering him with his very existence even though the person is sinning with that strength god does not refrain from giving this person the capacity god suffers this insult leo is to give this person ability to move his limbs and the person uses that ability to anger god and what does god do silent and don't say well god doesn't work that way god can't stop giving him life the lord taught him don't say god can't stop from giving him that benefit commemorative he has the ability in a moment to dry up to paralyze the person's movement he did it and even though god has the ability to retract the kayak he bestowed and god should reasonably said if you're sinning against me so i have a good idea pal i have a very good idea you're using your mouth to talk about i will now take away your kayak you want to talk find a way to talk but why why do i have to give you the ability to talk no god doesn't do that god says step all over me step on me i'll be a doormat i'll give you whatever you want and you use it against me haresa el buen this is a tolerance which is nothing to say they're beyond words this is why the angels call god melech the insulted god the tolerant god by the way says one of the three purposes of life is to become a savalan to become tolerant this is what it means meek el kamika who is like you you're such a bacha not only do you not take revenge you you tolerate such insult that you could be give you could be native you can be made to be and you continue to be native even though the person uses it against you listen to this says the time of the vira the challenge to us is to be able to tolerate even to this extent that you continue to bestow kindness on people even though they've used that kindness to hurt you and if you do that i guarantee you your twilo will be answered then it's a brisk crusade that's what the safer term of our is about but there are opinions that merely reciting your gimmick has a certain degree of kayak but certainly the full efficacy is that when we say it it's not just to say it it's to understand it and to integrate it into our personalities and if we do that prescription wish you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
