okay good evening tonight is sponsored by Morty eisenberger is tonight it's also in honor of the mag and of the for all of us the I would like me to mention is ra Diamond just also want to mention that this Shear is on Torah anytime and when I go into different places I get V which means that people send me warm regards they see the I want to thank to anytime for being for you know being uh the source of they are doing a campaign their annual campaign the 16th and the 17th if you plan on donating put it on my page please the maral is there too put it right and okay put it on my page if you're doing it you know if you're gonna do it anyway and you're coming to Zar and you enjoy Zar I have a to them okay we are going to do for you let's get a yes can we get a here please thank you thank you [Music] this week's para has many themes to itam the we're going to do a z that discusses the special relationship and the special status that the Jewish people shared with the abish what it means to be the nation of the nation of Hashem hashem's Nation the zerim quoting a it's inic the and it's the immediately following Claus's rendition of after they said o yoser that's where the Zer in this piece begins a piece of medish on the PK does the say this you have to listen to which means Rashi explains he brought them B he pulled them away from the and he took them from the yam out into the desert now Rashi says over here why they didn't want to leave why there was all of these diamonds there was a lot of Gold Silver and diamonds that was collectible at the y they were could they were already but you know some people say you can never get enough they desperately wanted to stick around and keep on collecting mha said for those you speak Yiddish M said g it's enough you have ready enough let's go they saiden we want more right said it's G let's go so M had to pull them he was them says the med man this was the first time gentlemen RAB that clus is now moving forward as an independent nation so there's something very profound about this PK and as we'll see in the med it's discussed at length what's profound is that up until now they were still one way or another under the influence of MIT yes they had left Egypt yes however they weren't totally out yet the Egyptians had pursued them there was still this with where the grand finale ofas yamu happened and the abish wiped out you'll never see them again as says they're gone so now CL like we say now you're Jewish people now you're the Y folk and what are you busy doing you're claing diamonds and things come on let's go let's go let's go let's see how beloved and how how far they are like sheep when a person who's a Shepherd owns sheep and the Sheep around and they go start eating people's trees like if you live in Muny and the deers eat all of your Shrubbery and they eat you put in some of those expensive trees and then the and then the deers eat away at it just like that the would eat up people's fruits and trees but you know what the BM would say eh it's okay the BM doesn't get so upset the does not complain all you made a it's all right listen to this a she it's an animal isn't getting bent out of shape just because we're doing sins well if the is not going to hold it against us when we do something wrong then maybe we're not going to get credit when we do something right says the a sheep you don't give reward for a sheep that does something right because it's just doing naturally so you don't get any reward for that you are like an you are sheep but you're like an this is a special connection that the uses how do you like that you can't get better than that when you do a mistake they bu writes it off and says he's a sign what do you want he's just following along he doesn't have the of leadership as we'll soon see the abisher is willing to look at our mistakes and discount them but when you do something good now you're a mench now I'm G to give you in a win you can't get better than that is the best it's a win-win why do we to this and what's the lumus explain right now the first few minutes it's just quoting the medish and then the Zar will explain the medish piece by piece right now we're just quoting Med H you have it in the place over there which is you might have a that the are going to get Sheed because people very often she the Sheep so if you touch you are obligated you're in trouble anybody who eats it is gonna pay dearly from it next so on the one hand we're like sheep that if we make them mistake Hashem doesn't look at it so terrible on the other hand we're like people that when we do something right we get reward you think we're like sheep so we're going to be slaughtered don't worry about it no one will if they touch you they're going to pay dearly and in another way you're like sheep wherever the shepherd takes him that's where he goes they follow like they follow him it says you us and you and we're coming even though them which would be considered a negativity we see it that as being positive they then go on their own F he pulled them away from the sins of the by saying whatever sins they had made which we started off with too interested in money and too reluctant to leave but the sh themselves was already a Kap and where did they go to continues the medish elid where is this sure place it's a reference to and we want you to know like in his you will also have a it seems like there's five different components that the medish is mentioning they seem very random but it's in a medish as you could see Med gim one after one what are the points CL when they first left the yamu the pull them out they was he was them they are compared to sheep they have all the benefits number one they're compared to sheep when they make a mistake it's just a when they do the right thing says they get credit even though like sheep don't worry about they won't get slaughtered because Hashem will protect them but they're positive like sheep because for you go where wants them to go and they wherever Misha takes them they go and at the end they have the ofu which which that is there for them just like it says midb that's the end of the medish obviously as the Z's about to ask I need a theme here what's going on you're like sheep you're like a person Abu what's going on first of all the medish began and now we're going to go through Point by point and if you just joined us we said in our little introduction that the purpose of this medish and this Z is to show you how much credit and how bed how much loved a person is by the aish ye have a problem they very often feel very guilty because they fall short from what they need to do if people how many times hopefully tonight we're going to set the record straight you are way better than you can even imagine when you think the abish is so upset at you because maybe you learned when you were B in Yesa that he's gonna punish you it's a bunch of baloney loves you and is the good things you do way more than you can imagine let's learn the Z inside and let's pick ourselves up with the positivity of the first it says these little she so they go out he sees food it's on somebody's trees he starts eating the fruit he starts ruining the tree why doesn't care you let your animals go ahead and you couldn't care less if they're hurting things say it's a sheep he doesn't know what he's doing is really doesn't look after our sins he's his life doesn't just St look over you know forget so what's going on in the [Music] med it's true when the Sheep are eating up the trees they're ruining the trees they're ruining the fruit and there's a heid there it's the loss is offset by the advantages that have been that are created what are the advantages why is it called as the are known as they make their own Rich you know sheep can cause damage but on your Balance Books it's much more profitable to have them because the losses compared to the gains the losses are minimal how so how so and pay attention by me in this it's underline this part [Music] The Reel who told you as you because you went and you sinned right you could say to him yeah I'm a but is not responsible as I state in the med he doesn't have it's not so terrible anyway when I do watch he's a or so I didn't make a br I was supposed to I'm not saying that you you get away with do what you want but it's so I didn't wait the full time I had to wa or I didn't I ate this or this I wasn't rebelling against just too big of a Bala sometimes it's hard to you know sh even if you are right you know what that means how do we say that in English destroying right you're still his kids like it says even even the most empty of Jewish people most are full ofv like a pomegranate every generation he's talking to us and every individual why did the give a person parents somebody has parents Daddy was very hard on him mommy didn't pay attention to him this one tells me from the age of six my mother never gave me a kiss this one tells me my parents got divorced this one tells me that you know I had somebody who was very not nice to me this one like this this one like that all of the different that a person was born with was specifically put into that situation to be I was just having a conversation in the office where I teach in the office there's from people and fr people there's observant and non-observant unfortunately the observant people will sometimes look down at the non-observant people because what do you mean you know we do mitz and they don't that's a big mistake it's a very big mistake you never know what the ton of a person is in this world you never know a person who wasn't Z to be born in a family of Ty Mitzvah but on the other hand was Z to be born Jewish has just as much an important job as a from when ad marish was created he was in ganen he had no bad in him when he ate from the and The suton Poisoned him so all of humanity was nowed and everybody was poisoned by every part of the human being had the human first human encompassed the entire Humanity when it says CL so Zer just mentioned together all of the Jewish people every single one of us we all make up one man which means if every single Jewish person from the beginning of History till will be his or her job the will be mus and no one person can do the job of somebody else some people people their job is to be learning some people their job is to live in The Devil's Den and to beat them who wasn't bigger than Yad what was his job he learned till he was 17 years old and then his brother sold him as an EV and for the next year or however he was by every single day this woman tried to make him sin he lived in a a life of yat horor every day she would change the clothing her clothing to make her look nice he didn't even want to look at her he didn't even pick she put something under his neck to cut his skin so they shouldn't be able to put his head down he couldn't care less he didn't look at her he couldn't even look at her and that was his what was his accomplishment he had to go to the worst place and from there we who live in a generation where unfortunately there's so much garbage in the palm of our hand and a has the says thear a person who is y refraining from doing a sin is a Mitzvah Conquering the and fighting against him is a Mitzvah soon is gonna elaborate every single person let's use the you see where reading from gentlemen top of the page on page even if you're making a Kil and one thing but if you're fixing up your job so the abish is much happier and fite that even if we mess up in certain things as long as in the big picture where says [Applause] [Music] and even a wicked person who finds a get minut you never know how he was exposed to so much negativity and he ters very far away from being a good person and then get the minute he has a good moment and he rises to the occasion he's a hero you never know if that's the reason he came to this world thear says he went there every single Zina in the world until he came to the super Zina and that's where was M his and that's when he was n and it said he was called a rebi how by not going to the shika by not going to the prostitute that's how he became the rebel he was created to be that in the he got to his but he did all the other a they were all setting him up for the grand finale so who are let me ask a different question a till the age of 13 if he does something wrong it's on hisin no no he's not oh so you mask him till the age of 13 the mistakes don't count not really right because and what about till 20 correct because it doesn't have the to fight again so you see in every single ye with beard and Pi until the age of 20 years old we don't really hold him accountable correct so why can't you understand the same thing with a nonr Jew that the is he didn't have the opportunity so he get but his choices and where the abish expects from him you never know you never know somebody said to me yeah okay so this guy put Onin right but I put on all the time right I put on all the time excuse me his is in our is you just wrap it up like like that same day like a Bima or do you have real kav are you putting it on so I can't wait till I take it off because I after you finish ding in 22 minutes or you're putting it on you're connecting to it we have a maybe our is bigger than their our is in the head what's the attitude what's your when you're wearing this filling of course you're going to put it on because you've putting it on since you've been a little kid so of course you're going to do it but doesn't mean that the sign's bigger God forbid we should be judgmental to judge one over the other who the person's is you have to learn to appreciate every single their vast who knows the type of Tik that a person makes because the abisher knows and put every single one of us in exactly the right position so we should make the ti that you have to make that's what the says as long there is Nation they do they're doing because they have they don't want to go ahead and fight with the abish there sometimes we're sometimes weak we're weak it's hard to [Applause] fight you know what does he says I know it's hard I'm not going to give you an if he doesn't want them to ruin the trees you know what he does let's go someplace else so you won't be around the trees so he takes them into the midburn in a place where there won't be next part of the med since let's be clear the understands their Achilles heel under understands that we have a little bit of a tendency to sin therefore assists us and takes some of the opportunities of the a way puts us into aidb you know why it's not them now listen to this what the says as Sinners I look at you as sheep I understand that you're not on a high Dr I won't hold it against you but if you're able to fight your Yates or har and you're able to get out of those CL the grasps of the ra boy are you going to getar for that listen to what he [Music] says like it says when a person does a sin we understand that's not who you are when you sin you're like a sheep he's not doing the evil what do you want from the Sheep so he ate from the tree you think he knows what he's doing you think he understands he's just hungry he's just hungry you leave the door open in your backyard you're hear in Muny you have your wife made good food and the raccoon comes and eats it up you have a TI on the Raccoon what the raccoon do he just smelled the good food and he came in you're the person but says says you're like sheep am I gonna punish you for if they're capable of themselves pushing away the sins then they get for that I'm gonna give you this as a person now he says maybe you're gonna say because when we don't do the right thing and we Tak are unfortunately not fighting so therefore Nations will come and maybe they're GNA be maybe nations are not responsible which means to say what are we talking about anybody who touches a Jewish person will pay dearly it's underlined second column second column second paragraph when they sin and the do not watching them will beable will be exposable if anybody touches us it'll be because we're still like we said earlier whether we do [Music] the you're the abish children we have time for one more part of this we'll finish the side of the just like the Sheep Follow the Leader that's why it says that they were that they were they they slept they went by mosu they were brought through M what does he call it they were they were led by mha Rashi says that they were slept by they're being says the five lines from the bottom a person who's going to do a Mitzvah and the is telling him not to do a Mitzvah don't do it teish the Mitzvah don't do it don't do it and he fights his y and then he does it let me ask you a question a person has an inner struggle he has an inner struggle part of him it's like how did he say uh the B Miller right Miller yeah he says I got up for Shak he said the and I had this big 7:00 in the morning have to get up nope 7:30 again the snooze button 8:00 8:30 you should know I beat my myar by 11 o'clock in the morning I finally got out of bed I beat this Yar FL there when he gets out of bed he did it orber sin he did it because he wanted to do it or he didn't want to do it when he beats up is yat does it called like he forced himself to do it says the zerim the yat is not you the Yara is the part of the person that possesses you if Man was created as we mentioned earlier without a Yara so then the evil intent in a person is an outside force that is seen as controlling the human being when you're able to get that yat or Hara off of you and then you're able to do a Mitzvah the Mitzvah that you do if you do it if you do it happy is a right that that's who you really are because you haven't what you did was successfully unleash yourself from the K that Is possessing you this is the where the mar says in many places we want to do your when we take the two and we take one and we send it one represents the other one is as we take the as inside of us and we dissect it we operate spiritually and take the as of out and throw it over there and is remained that's who we are and then when we do the MIT we do them because we want to so we have to be schlepped but after the schlepping we're really good listen to the [Applause] the it's not considered says the was being forcing [Applause] him help us I'm not happy that we need that we're sitting here by the yam picking the gold and the silver I'd rather be with the aish but I just need you to slep me out of this it's hard for me I need the support it's hard for me to do it myself once youle us out we'll run we'll do it exactly the way you want do SLE me out of bed SLE me out of a bad place and then I'll do it with all my heart believe pull me out it's the hor that's forcing me to sin look how the abish looks at B look at how he sees that when we yeah the rebel was right when we do something wrong we act like a beho but that's not who we were are the rebel is wrong because it's not the you're a Jew you're the essence of good you might be controlled by a yat horor that's a be so if the rebi is helpful and schleps you out so then he picks you up I just want to finish I was in y my last I was in for a week one of the highlights of my trip was the last night I was in after we got there on Wednesday we had aim had a Mitzvah by the by the in this place I went to see my I went see a bunch of people and then it was Monday night I had to D was and I I was staying next to AR the close was B so I went took the car tried to find parking and all these gu this there was no parking finally said let me just go to park next to the mirror and I'll walk it's a two-minute walk so I parked and as I'm walking down the street from in front of the mirror going around the side who walks out just as I'm walking by rashar walks out my Reby was my Reby for years my son's rebi like a Mal I said re you know what he asks me he says vman how are you learning how are you siking I felt so uplifted the Reb's question what does he want to know how's my R am I sing am I growing am I as is the Tyra that I'm learning rabie gave me muser he says which sug are you holding where are you holding he knows that I give a DA and two years ago he said to me don't you dare prepare the da good enough to just say the sheer because then you'll sell yourself short you learn the daff like you learn it for yourself if you're only learning to have to say for others and as soon as you know P then you'll stop learning and you won't learn any deeper you'll only stay superficial you need to learn in a way that you need to know it what you say but don't you dare learn it just good enough to say this year you know why the rebi says that he's because he expects more from his he expects more that what the ab saying when you make mistakes I know it's not you that's not you you're when left after saying the you see how great CL could be you see how they could say the and you say that every single day we all say it you know it says sorry one more minute one of the greatest saw the saw so much right saw the and this little sh saw better how's it possible cuz she was with with you could see more than the biggest when recognizes you have have people who pick you up they can pick you up higher than other as well because they expect more from you you should never say that so you did it so you did it but the ti that you're doing in the world fixing up what nobody else can do is worth way more to the aish than any mistakes you're making the Tik that you're making is worth way more with that you can be proud to be a ye you can be proud to be the Kinder sh
