Zohar - Parashat Vayera - "Hidden energy of growth" - Part 1 - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] we are in parachute very important to notice we're in vaira not era many people confuse the two parashot we're going to be reading from the tsar page sadiq sign amud alef 97a we're reading right from the beginning of the parasha and we're going to explain a verse from the book of shiroshirim and let me first read the verse and then we're going to start explaining it the verse can be found in shiloh sharim doesn't really have chapters but it is called chapter chapter 2 or psalm number 2 but nevertheless chapter 2 verse 12 and the verse goes as follows the blossoms have appeared in the land the time of singing has arrived and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land shira shireem is the song of songs where it's full of gems of of of hidden information and unbelievable secrets so let's see a little bit what this all says about this verse and how is it connected to our parashah so the line starts with hashem if you want to follow page 97a daff is an argument this is the place was also a friend of obama we know some say it's a place someplace some say it's a friend of abraham one of his best friends most important that it's my name in the torah that's you know when i became observant i was like i must find my name in the torah so this is not my name but in parashat you find my name a hundred percent alone who was one of the students of shimon said okay let's explain this verse and let's also explain the virtue of a man if you remember in parashat we learned that there are four levels one of them is called adam and he says there is a level that is called ma'alatadam the virtue of adam shalem ibrahim is most complete and all from all creatures this is the purpose of creation is for man the that was created in this world was created for him him not necessarily us human beings therefore when the world was created velonit nothing was revealed or appeared me la paul from the potential to fact ancient till the creation of first man so in the first day second day third fourth and fifth and even six everything was created but was didn't appear yet hashem had to go like this in one second everything appeared what was created the potential the power but it didn't a period when did everything appear when adam reshawn was created and this is how i by the way up until today two ways of perceiving thing there's something that is called and something is called paul koch is the potential the power for example you can look at a seed the koi the potential it has the potential to become a tree has a potential to grow but it's a little seed what's the cork is that it has the potential what's the point the action then it becomes the tree when he was created oh later on when he prayed and of course hashem brought the jew and the grains but here he says uh let me just read it again lonnie mccoy nothing was revealed from potential to power arjun but it was when before when he was created so he will come to a really made world and of course not everything was 100 because the animals had to be fruitful multiple and the trees had to grow but what's important to focus right now is not on the detail exactly what happened rather on the detail that first was the potential then became the actual fact why was this the case because up until this point there was nobody to do it for if i want to make a surprise party for my best friend my wife wasn't if if he's not there why would i need the party for i can make a party we'll put funny hats on our heads put cakes on the table and then we sit and wait where's the birthday person he's not coming so why you do the party suppose we have to get the birthday person person so that was the creation of adam john and once he was created and everything was created for his needs now we have a problem he sinned where you came all this you know how many years passed what did he do he circumcised himself after himself revealed himself it was a hasidic story i don't remember exactly it's in the dynasty of lubavitch i just don't remember i think it was that semarchszedik the grandson of the balatania who said to his grandfather and i might be mistaken he said something along the line i also want hashem to reveal himself to me so the grandfather answered him when you're going to be 100 years old and circumcise yourself you'll deserve a revelation from the master of the universe and don't take exactly my word it might have not been the same accepting but some are in the dynasty of chabad but when you circumcise yourself when you're 100 years old you better get a revelation from the kalosh now what happens when this happens then the land got rectified only then and then finally all the fruit came out with good fruit because the land can give you bad fruits horrible sour not ripe so only then the land finally came out with real good food fruit with that said now let's go back to the verse the blossom have have appeared in the land and the time of singing arrived and the voice of the turtle dove dove dove is heard in our land now he explains hanitsa nimna rubarets the blossoms have appeared in the land he explains when the kaloshva who created the world who planted in the in the world the right power i will call it now the right energy in everything in creation then when it's getting its a sign it's going to grow what was in the energy to be able to take out the potential from the ground to make uh a herbs trees and so forth the holla have a and everything was hidden in the ground which means the potential was there all it needed is hashem to flick his fingers that's of course my addition hashem didn't flick his fingers but the creation was there vela a pika ibn be alma and the land did not take out the trees the fruit and so forth in a revealed way rather they were literally at the tip of the land meaning one millimeter all it needed is the command from the master of the universe what was it it was waiting for ah adam till abdomen was created when on the sixth day once adam result was created everything in the world was already prepared to serve him then all the powers specifically the powers that are in the vegetation meaning fruits and trees they were ready to go out to the world interestingly this is all says something that you know we have to sometimes look at the words and focus on the words it says when mashiach is going to come and i think i gave i gave a class on it it wasn't recorded because it was in third meal a few weeks ago where i've explained the argument that when moshe is going to come very soon all the trees are going to bear fruit all the fruit are going to be edible first it's going to start in israel then it's going to be all over the world but we're going to get to a point that all the fruits are edible all the trees bear fruit and then there's another opinion that says the trees will be edible not only the fruit exactly by the way there is one opinion i think it with uh uh i forgot now the name of the nozza diagon okay it doesn't matter there are five opinion what what was the tree of knowledge so we know the common ones that it was the fig tree uh wheat and uh giffen grapes and wine there's another opinion that it was walnuts and there's another opinion i think it was not sadia gone but it doesn't matter he says excuse me no he said it was a tog why because it says the talk the tree is edible too you can eat the treats also that's his opinion but it's not such a common opinion not so known but nevertheless here this says something very interesting was created and everything that was ready for him then it came out and what is the shemtella damage everything that's in the garden you can eat he then said we call up he says from all the trees you can eat so we learned from that that the trees were edible which means that takes off a branch and starts eating the tree okay let's continue so we said that all the trees the plants the vegetation was on the tip of the ground and it just waited for the sign and then it came out from potential to facts then the land revealed the fruits and the trees if you remember it says in the book of bereshit that the trees were created already with the fruit and the fruit already had the seeds in it in order to to make a continuation so what when the land was revealing it was revealing the trees and the fruits and the powers that were uh commanded by the kandoshima it's using the word a korach a power we'll call it now an energy then everything that he created created also a power in it unless it's an animate that has growth in it because humans animals and and vegetation has a certain power in it and again i will refer to it as an energy and it's called the power of growth the anonymous don't have this power to some kabbalistic opinions it has the power but it's not in a revealed way that we can actually see that there's growth there okay now let's continue kegavna the same thing with the heavens with the firmaments the firmament here it says shaman which can be translated as the heavens as it says it's the heavens and the earth i will choose to use the translation as a firmament because every firmament has a certain power and a certain energy in it but it says the same thing is with the firmaments they did not give over their power to the land what are the power of the first firmament dew and rain that's why he chooses probably the word shamai minotakiyah because the word shaman which means heavens or sky is sham there's water over there so he says what's the power of this heavens mind jew and reigns but there wasn't any do and there wasn't any rain till damaging was created where do we learn this from it says in the torah book of chapter 2 verse 5. translation now no tree of the field was yet on earth neither did any herb of the field yet grew why because the kalash broke didn't put rain on the earth the czar explains it their powers were concealed in the land and in the heavens but they were not revealed and up until today nothing changed by the way certain things have a power and energy in it it's just not revealed and this here this is something that we maybe take for granted but at the time this is what's called a contol of dota ahrez the beginning because after all everything that we see as we speak is being recreated twice a day we say in his great kindness he recreates the world every second if a sec if hashem for one second stops everything goes back to it to its original state yes everything goes back to i the whole world disappears hashem has to recreate the sake of the world every second but the first creation that was like the we'll call it now the spark and then it recreates itself over and over hashem for one second pulls back nothing that exists so he says as follows the heavens they were delayed or held back so they won't spill water which he calls it rain on the land and the reason begins because there's no man down there to heaven says we were created to bring down rain only for the sake of this man no man we don't need to do our job saying in other words the zor explains de laish ishtakach the light bari because man was not founded and he wasn't created therefore there wouldn't be anybody to be grateful for the fact that there's rain we have to thank asham for rain and not only that we have to be grateful we have to acknowledge that it's for our own good just the other day came to me a certain worker to fix something in the house and he wasn't a jew i mean there's many uh christian arabs around here druzies bedouins arabs god was not a jewish nor jewish and and we had yesterday the first reign and he came and he kept telling me this is where you see beauty sometimes in in in going in in the gentiles all he talked about in the ten minute series what is home is how great hashem is did you see the rain ah there's no blessing but the rain hashem is so great and now like in myself thinking you know if another individual come on will tell me did you see the election did you see what trump said did you see what bibi said he was talking to me how great hashem is because he brought rain and in my mind i'm like wow look at that that's his conversation with me and he kept telling me brain is blessing it's the so we have to acknowledge how it's a blessing for us so the heaven says we're not gonna pour our rain there's nobody gonna be here to acknowledge how great it is and the entire creation was delayed because of adam rishon now it can be i can use the word because of for adam either way kevan did adam now when adam was right away what is the verse that we learned from shiraz the blossoms have appeared in the land what happened exactly boom right away trees came out trees flowers herbs and so forth all the powers that have the energy to enliven things and to have the force of tomahawk vegetation that were concealed in the land right away they were all revealed and not only that they were given new powers new powers because it's not enough to give it once so she met to give it again and again and again in order for the land to be able to continue bringing out fruits and vegetables and trees and so forth and not only in that day karli motorola for the rest of the days and after all this was revealed let's go back to our verse the time for singing has arrived what was the first one of the first things that adam roshan did he started praising the master of the universe he started calling all creations he called all the creations that bow down let's prostrate in front of the master of the universe so when the verse in shiloh shalom says time of the singing came the tsar explains the kuna de tusbehan the praises and sings songs that whoever was in charge of the praises and songs came down to the world in order to sing in front of the kalosh and here he says the unbelievable revelation what is this song remember we learned that when we went through our 40 days journey and we started reading every day perhaps i told you then we don't know where it came from we don't know who compiled it obviously it came after the time of melech because this verses of shira there's also some verses from from naveem they're from the prophets but it's mixed the verses from the torah verses from tanach but we don't know really who compiled it and here he says what is this songs that the powers let's see what is he says the takan tikkuna the tush behind what was a a a prepared uh order of singing and praising it was prepared and brought down to the world on who has it was given to the ministers that are in charge that exists in this world so there's a minister to the ocean a minister to the clouds a minister to the trees a minister to the giraffes a minister to the lions and you got the point but why for one thing les amer life to sing in front of the master of the universe what is the song that they sing wow that in itself is worth reading every day totally ready it should take you not more than 10 minutes to read it and all this didn't exist until adam roshan was created okay let's go a little bit more further i know you're thinking we're talking about sephiroth but we have to kind of explain how is that coming to arjuna to our parasha he gave a little bit before that's only when adam richon circumcis sorry only when abramovino circumcised himself then it actually happened look how long it had to wait but let's first continue the verse then we'll see how it's connected to our parasha and by the way this is all not always connected to the parasha the fact that we're learning doesn't mean it's coming to interpret i explained that already this is divided by parashot but it doesn't mean it's coming to interpret and to explain the parashot but nevertheless let's continue now the the the verse in shira sharim continues the voice of the turtle dove has heard in our land maybe i'm my english is not good and i'm and not sounds clear but it's a dove toe is a dumb the translation says turtle dove maybe because they have that little uh ring on the on the neck i don't know but it's a dove it's not a pigeon there's a difference between yonah and atol but the verse says the voice of the turtle dove has heard in our land zor the voice and the speech of the master of the universe there was not heard in the realm below in in the world below till the adam rishon was created because nobody in creation heard the voice of hashem the first one that heard the voice of hashem was an amarishon when after he sinned of course in the beginning he doesn't say it in a clear way of course the kaloshva who gave a commandment from whatever's in the in the garden but the first time that we see a conversation between other the master of the universe and animal shown is when he after he's sinned there's some type of a dialogue but nevertheless the voice of hashem was not heard in the world till that moment and when was the kaloshva who heard his voice the first time is after adam roshan was created when the canon told him from all the tree in the garden you can eat saying in other words the voice of the turtleneck is heard the voice of hashem now why is it choosing why does chooses to say to i can say any other animal why does the shem what is moshe what is the letters of hatto hey what is the letters the same of torah same letters so what is the voice of hashem that the the shirajirim says it's really the voice of hashem what is the voice of hashem the torah very simple because hashem in the torah is one and where was in it land what is the land means this revealed world i mean the tulama tattoo is the world below but it talks about this world since the first man adam richon was created and was found in the world everything was found in the world with him whether it happened right at that moment right after a minute before by the way we went through this already from robin on the the on friday so many details happens we're talking about minutes everything was in minutes let's do one more paragraph then we'll reach already i wanted to do more but let's do one more paragraph we'll continue tomorrow after adam sinned all these powers that give energy to the vegetation to grow trees and herbs disappeared from the world and the land got cursed what was the curse shalom that the land will not grow by itself means you have to plow means you have to solve means you have to plant means you have to take it was all done by itself autopilot you didn't have to do anything the curse not that the nothing's going to come out it's not going to come out by itself but it's going to have to come with a lot of hard work by human beings where do we learn that from as it says in the torah with great sadness you're going to have to work hard the land and eat even it says in the in the in the torah specifically in chapter 3 verse 18 sorry in verse chapter 3 verse 17 it says about kind you have to work the land this is the shot because adama already we know it's under the ground lotto the ground or the earth will not continue to give its power in order to grow trees and herbs and it's not going to come out from itself you're going to have to work eleague but very hard work and by working the land only then the land is going to grow and what is it going to grow do you think it's going to grow papayas and mangoes no coats it's not going to come out tropical fruit you know what it's going to what's going to grow cosmetic is thorns and uh seashell official i don't know how to pronounce it t-h-i-s-t-l-e officials officials okay this is where my israeli accent will will counter for a way to to you hear it official whatever you know what i'm talking about thorns and cots with let's learn torah in hebrew so it says yeah the ground is going to grow things it's not going to grow pineapples my dear friend dave it says in the torah in in chapter 18 it's going to grow for you he says even after sometimes you're going to work hard life sometimes it's not going to grow the fruits are not going to be edible what it's going to come out with were thorns and humans will have to feed themselves with great pressure and sadness and hard work sometimes they have years of famine sometimes i mean we don't know what it means to work the land we go to the shop and buy a tomato once you had to work hard and if there would be famine or we're not going to be rain or hospital we're going to be locus or or whatever you come and eat your crops what are you going to eat what are we going to do what do we learn from this that the completion or when a state of perfection is within the merit for of man and before man we see that because on scene who got punished what did the land do the land got punished because of it because of the man khmashikatuv as it says is the land for you not because of you avuca means that it's it's supposed to provide to you it's almost like i did a sin the supermarket explodes why do you explore the supermarket because of you now you're going to get it and be able to eat it's for me another explanation is because you were going to need it because of the scene of adam everything disappeared we're going to continue the rest already tomorrow the rest of the explanation how it gets to abraham and then go a little bit more deeper into the verse but what do we want to take from this short segment that we learned is exactly the words that we ended up i'm going to read it again because of his sin everything disappeared this is enough for us to take home is because of my sin don't think you can ever get a bouquet of flowers when you've seen a basket full of food everything mystallic everything disappears and you might see some blessing in your life but that doesn't mean that that is the blessing in your life you're lacking something in your life don't blame it on anybody else blame it on yourself i have done something and yes our sages explained there's no hardship with no sin some hardship is coming must be that i did something now i'm not telling you to be ocd and now go the day long with your head in the ground and say oh my god what did i do and it has to be done in them in a normal way in a normal manner but it says in the talmud you bump into hardship hardship is attacking you fall upon you if especially myself go through your actions you must have done something if you're getting a ticket maybe you stole something maybe you owe somebody money maybe you gave somebody hey you took something and then return it now whatever it is you have to left space you have to go through your actions maybe you did something maybe something happened but here he says something profound by his own everything disappeared which comes to teach us also what we see in the world this is a one percent really of what what's going to happen when mashiach is going to come and the spa power of impurity the spirit of impurity will be removed then we're going to see the blessing of the economy suddenly we're going to see how everything has a blessing in it and we're not gonna have to toil for our sustenance and for our food everything is just gonna just pop out from the land we have to understand from that after all like we always learn we have to take something away from the class it's not just learning secrets of the torah or interpretation of the torah rather to take something to understand that when i sin i remove the blessing of hashem from the world for my personal life for my surrounding and from the entire world something is not revealed in the world something is lacking in the world it can you can blame it on his human race from all the sins that they're doing bring abraha into the world and not only them the system of the universe is programmed in a way that when the system is hacked i'm using our terminology when the system is being is manipulated it's not going to function right when we function the right way the entire system of the universe will function the right way and then we will see that we don't have to do anything so we damage and then we cry why are we suffering so stop damaging
