Ari Goldwag - Balak - Final Refinement

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast recorded with a gems never-ending assistance in ramat beit shemesh israel 5770 6 2016 this week the parsha that's being read outside of Israel is parshas bollock and this parsha for me is a celebration of nine years a completion of nine cycles around the Torah I started nine years ago with parsha spin class and I complete nine years so it's very exciting time for me that we've been putting out this partial podcast every single week as I mentioned in previous weeks I'm working on putting out a safer I spent many years working on this project and collected over a thousand dollars toward the publication of this book I need another nine thousand dollars approximately in order to be able to put out the book to do the printing the shipping and to do some advertising as well I'm encouraging all of you my listeners to take part it's really special project and especially now as I come to the completion of nine years it's really an opportune time to head over to my website Ari Gold Wacom go on to the contact page and there there's a button to be able to donate towards my book which you can make note of in the comment when you donate thank you to all those who have donated and I thank all those who will donate as well I'd like to share with you a thought on this week's parsha partials bollock and we find at the very end of this week's parsha we have the whole partial which speaks about the the bra face the blessings that bilham gave to the Jewish people even though he tried to give curses such I'm did allow them to but at the end of the parsha as a result frame it as a sages frame it we find that the Jewish people come to a place called shoot'em will speak about the concept of the place of shooting but they come to place called shoot him and it's there that bilham gives the advise the king of Midian to cause the Jewish people to sin as a result of the sin that Jewish people do they get involved in lessons like sensuous behavior with the daughters of my other daughters of Midian as a result of that the Jewish people fall from their great level 24 thousand people die in a Magatha and a plague and bilham is able through his suggestion cod to cause the Jewish people to sin and in so doing cause them to lose a certain level of their greatness or at least so it seems we read the story is very difficult to understand it seems clear that a Shem did not want bilham to give any kind of curses to the Jewish people actually made it very clear that you can't curse the Jews people because they are blessed by definition they're very essence is that they are blessed and yet we see that bilham is able to get through the to find the in the armor so to speak of the Jewish people by causing them to sin we need to understand what is the idea here what is the concept of this how is it that that he can't cause them to be cursed but it can cause him to sin and thereby lose the good graces so to speak of God and cost twenty four thousand of them to die now I'd like to share with you some interruption and as we read these mad Russian we need to notice that there is a theme that's underlying these Madras treaments very interesting remarkable and needs explanation says like this way should be throw by shoot them it says the Jewish people they dwelled a place called shoot them and this was the place where the Jewish people were to sin with the daughters of mo of with the daughters of Midian the measures tells us a remarkable thing halacha we know this who's comment of iron in Galilee is from it's right there was a certain merit the merit of a few different things that the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt shona robison art I say just taught this was our Budvar loose elements right there were four things that were the merits for which the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt first Sheila she newish my son they didn't change their names they still had Jewish names Sheila she know a solution 'um they didn't change their language they continued speaking in Russian a coalition Hebrew lagina mr. hollom shimmy sham there was another thing a third thing which was that Moses had revealed something to them and they did not reveal this mystery that he said to the mashaallah ish me frantically castle Azov at the very beginning they were told that they were going to be able to take all of the golden silver of the Egyptians where the bars m-move cadet salam Sheamus ahoy dish this was something which they knew about for 12 months for a Gila FMA helmets tribe and they didn't reveal this secret to the Egyptians so the third thing but line if it's uber is here comes the fourth which is very interesting that throughout the Jewish people stay in Egypt they never had any less interest behavior they never involved themselves with immoral acts and moral sexual acts chicane sieve we know that this is true based on a verse in Shira shearim the song of songs gun hola hoy sakala the verse refers to the fact that the Jewish people were like a garden which was locked in law's harness refers to the men never had lice anxious behavior wgah'nagl Mayan kassam in Abdullah's another part of the verse refers to the fact that they were locked up that they were closed that they didn't allow themselves to be used in a way which was inappropriate this is referring to the daughters of the Jewish people to the women so we see something very interesting that throughout the Jewish people stay in Egypt and for four years afterwards is we're going to see the Jewish people were not involved in any kind of immoral acts teh tella ha how do you know indeed that the Jewish people were not involved in any life sentence behavior Sharia has high so there was only one woman of the entire Jewish people who had been involved in an illicit act within Egyptian upir sammarco civ the verse tells us and makes it known to us by 87 Israelis refers to shleimah spas livery to this woman who used to go out and speak and say hello to people in an inappropriate way and her son she ended up having relations with an Egyptian her son ended up to being the one who cursed God so but it was only her she was the only one who had done this kind of behavior call us on our bomb Shannon likes our women bar all the 40 years of the Jewish people were in the wilderness they also didn't have any kind of licentious behavior at chipola sheet him until they came to this location to shoot him the calc exam and that's why the verse says my issue be sober shoot him that the Jewish people lived were they settled in this place called sheet him valhalla on Liz nice and the Jewish people began to act in ways that were inappropriate to them unless sensious behaviors now what was the reason why did this happen here what's the understanding of it the measure she's telling us that for hundreds of years the Jewish Jewish people had been chaste they had been perfect when it came to these matters but all of a sudden right here at sheet him something changed something switched and they fell into this behavior which was wrong what's the understanding why why did this happen so message continues and says sheet him what is the word sheet 10 min which is the name of the place she lost us to shore ish the root of the word sheet him to the name of this place is the same as the word she does which means the foolishness a stupid thing a funny weird thing nyesha casar lave universit ELLs us that if a person has illicit relations with a woman he's missing his heart he's missing his heart there's something foolish that's happened to him it's something that if you would if you would be moving if you'll be thinking and acting in an intellectual way so that's not something that could happen to him but why does it happen to a person it happens because of a snus of a foolish way of thinking and the Jewish people came to place called sheet Tim and somehow they entered into that space of foolishness what's the understanding of this image continues my alarm is nice so the measures tells us that why they begin to go and have this illicit behavior yeesh monish McGonagle Burnham system is an amazing thing there are Springs there are water Springs that if you drink their water so the result will be that your children will be strong you're all awesome there are other ones that if you drink the water the children will be weak yesh ngayon there there there's what a source is that if you drink it the children are beautiful ish mocha RN if there's other water sources that if you drink it the children will be ugly yes newing there's water sources that if you drink from that water the children will be modest Vishnu from bassima there are other water sources that if you drink from that water so then the children will be involved in illicit behavior illicit sexual relations my own shooting shells Natalia very interesting the measures tells us that the waters of shetan the the springs that were in that place called shoot him that water if you would drink it it would cause a personal cause his children it would cause a person to be led towards nos to her illicit behavior whom aesculus time very interesting this water was the water source of a place called Saddam Saddam a few hundred years before had been destroyed but that place where did the water come from it came from sheet him the water came to Saddam they drank that water the result was that they became people who were involved in an illicit behavior how do we know that this is true of Saddam atomizer shomrim we find that they said I ahah notion I sure Bo allaha HCA milena vanadium the verse tells us that when load had allowed these men which were actually malacañan really angels to come to visit in his house to stay the night of this house so the people of Saddam came and they said bring them out we want to have illicit homosexual relations with them so from here from this verse we see that the sodomites were people a very low morale caliber when it came to these areas and what was the reason for it says the mattress it was because of the fact that there was a my eye on there the water the source of the water in Saddam was the waters of sheet Tim and if you drink the waters of sheet them if a person drinks that water so it causes them to be drawn toward illicit behavior now the measure tells us something which is a side point but also very important to know who fusion is Collison my own because of the fact that that particular water source at Spring was cursed it had a negative influence on the people i said Akhilesh broccoli option in the future time hashem is going to dry it out shania as the verse says it's a verse in george of the 4 verse 18 my ambition me I'd say Mahesh cries knock ah shoot him there's going to be a source of water that comes out from God's house in front of a some English in the temple that what is going to go out towards the knock ah shoot him towards the river of Tim which until this time had dried up and it had a cause what it cause it caused a negative behavior of the Jewish people cause a negative behavior of Saddam but it's going to be purified the water of the base hamikdash the water of God so to speak the water of goodness that causes good things to happen is going to be what replenishes that place and the na hala shoot him the river of shittim which until now has been a source of negative behavior will no longer be a source of negative behavior very interesting the mesh finishes off with a powerful statement minimize I've from the days of Abraham line efforts uhuh business no member of the Jewish people had been involved in licentiousness abolish eat him but once they came to sheet on a shuttle name of at that point because they drank of its waters never do business the result was that the Jewish people got involved in illicit behavior so it's very interesting because this mesh basically is telling us that somehow there's a connection as it just people are sitting here in a place their their dwelling in a place called cheating on the edge of the area of midi on the edge of the area of Mo of these places about to enter into the Land of Israel where at the end of the Jewish people sojourn in the wilderness at that moment they're abroad they are led by the by the ananya Capone by the by the clouds of God's glory to this place called sheet him it's very strange first of all you see that God brought into this place reclaim freely and this mentions the fact they were brought here to have this this kind of nice on this kind of difficult situations challenge the Sham brought into this place and this place was connected to Saddam and since the time of avrum and let's not forget that Avram also was in that time when Saddam was destroyed when their behavior came to a point where they had to be destroyed but since the time of Avraham the Jews people hadn't done anything wrong in this vein I hadn't had any kind of like century but for some reason at this moment there was this new son on this challenging situation that occurred and the Jewish people had to go through this the question is why why is this happening now at this specific moment in time and why is it so connected to see dome what is the depth of the understanding of that I'd like to share with you one more mad rush which also indicates the connection between the time of the Jewish people were about to enter into Israel and that time so many years before when Saddam had been destroyed the measure says like this mesha puss out business tequila he shouldn't live are safe there's another point of connection the point of connection is like this that way back when Saddam was destroyed there was another story that occurred at the same exact moment and that was a story of low and his two daughters they thought that the whole world had been destroyed as a result of that the older daughter said to the to the younger daughter that we should be with our Father so that we will be able to continue mankind mankind has been destroyed except for us and our Father we need to get pregnant so that mankind can continue now Misha pasa business tequila he should unless I have the measure sets out something amazing it says that the one who started off the one who was the first one of the two sisters to be interested in having this illicit relations with her father so in the end she's the one who finished it off what does that mean the benoist my of the daughters of MOA mom was one who came from that illicit relationship between the daughter and her father it was the first one who named her son mo of now she was the first one to go and have that relationship with her father her great-grandchildren were the ones who were much of the Jewish people who caused the Jewish people to sin let's see in my say miss Keela bassima how do we know that the mother of the people of mo of was the one who started off with this life centrist behavior matera but here I let Sierra the verse tells us that the older ones said to the younger one la la la chica Savino yah even ishq shava let us go get our Father drunk and sleep with him she's the one who did it first the magic goes on to tell us and she's the one who showed her sister what to do she was the first I such a puss club is no stila the one that started off in this illicit behavior Ashley when I saw her out so her great great granddaughters completed the act after her as the verse tells us Liz nice open eyes may of the Jewish people ended up having illicit relations with the daughters of Mo off so we see here that there's a two-fold connection to the story of Saddam one is that the Jewish people drank of the waters which caused illicit behavior just as Saddam had had been involved in illicit behavior as a result of drinking the water so to the Jewish people drank from that same water and it caused them to sin as well the second point is that there's another connection to Saddam to that story to that point in time which is that the Jewish people they ended up how do they end up having illicit relations it was with the very women the very great granddaughters of the woman who had had illicit relations as a result of the destruction of Saddam what's remarkable is very interesting even there's a really a third point and that is that the the message tells us that from the times of Abraham the Jewish people hadn't done anything wrong like this why do we need to go back to the time of Avraham there's clearly a connection to something that happened with Avram avena with Abraham from his times the Jewish people hadn't been involved in any notes in any illicit behavior and yet here they were here they drank from the from the waters of Saddam so to speak and here they ended up with the great granddaughters of the destruction of Saddam so what is the message coming to teach us what is the idea here where's the depth of these magician so I'd like to share with you one more measures which I believe holds the key to what's going on here and there's a connection between this man drish and Gomorrah and suka and we'll begin to understand what's going on here it's an amazing deep idea deep concept and it's something that applies to every one of us it says like this hina ish me my name is Rob of aya crave Ella hove the verse speaks about the Jewish person this Nazi he was a prince of the tribe of shimon you will find out later that his name was simmering he had had been involved with this midnight woman what happened what was the story here's the story I'm a lie inish masiela lusha this woman at first she said to him I'm only interested in having relations with Moses shekhar tivo I see Bullock Abba this is what my father Bullock told me she lightly schmeyer a little moisture rapid I'm the only person that I should be with is Moses your teacher of email because my father is a king I Marla so Jimmy set too high right Annie gato como si I am as great as he is Lena money I vehicle I'll show you that I'm is great at him because I'm going to bring you in front of them in front of Moses possibly we survey via its Alicia he grabbed her by her hair brought her in front of Moses our Lebanon rooms and my tears are soooo he said to him son of Amram is this woman permitted to me or she forbidden for me mar elias raheela ha ma sha been said to him she's forbidden she's a non-jew Nnanji was not allowed to be with a Jewish person I realize Emery zimri said to him boy social economy John see what about your wife your wife was amid yiannis she was from the same place how come I can't marry this woman me honest rashly other shall mention asami men ojala ha Moses his hands became weekend forgot the halacha forgot the law the go coolant over here amazing thing measure says everyone started crying the sieve how do you know that that's true cuz the verse says bahama bite him they were crying llama boys him why were they crying she didn't trap with your day my sash aww because at that moment their hands had become weakened he forgot the halacha forgot the law mashallah Madhava diamond what is this comparable to what's the analogy to the bossman action is koshto the connoisseur Koopa Leisha by appearing to a princess that got all beautified she was about to get married she was about to enter into the palace the Nemesis michela similar instead of marrying instead of being with the man she was supposed to be with they found out that she had gotten all dressed up and beautified herself and then had gone off and been with someone else a different man Sheena strapping you there vo covet what happens there they're all standing there getting ready for this amazing wedding and they have nothing to say their hands are weakened they're all crying they're all sad they've been they've been betrayed by by this this princess cocky strobus a fire by shana in the same way the people of israel at the end of 40 years kanomata yard in la voile eretz israel they were in camped at the Jordan River about to enter into the Land of Israel she never has a verse says my a carnival ard me basically she might add Avila shetan Bobby smile they hadn't camped on the Jordan River and refers to our place to shoot him and it refers to the fact that they were about to enter into Israel the shaman efforts to business or roughly they might chevy date siddiqui me my Bahama by him the result was that they were involved in illicit behavior the hands of Moses were weakened the hands of the righteous along with him and they were crying there's a point here in this mess that it's telling us that the Jewish people are about to get married so to speak they're about to enter into the Land of Israel they're about to come into a true relationship with Hashem in the land which represents that relationship which is the place where the Jewish people are meant to be to perform the mitzvos to fulfill the commandments all those that are dependent on the Land of Israel but really all of the commandments are especially made to be done in the Land of Israel they're about to enter and tap into that relationship and at that moment they fall they are involved in avoid is Aurra in idolatry and in this illicit behavior as the analogy of the measures goes there like that princess who's gone and done the wrong thing she's been with a different man and the princess she was supposed to marry now this message also reminds me of a Gamorrean suka which I'm sure I've quoted numerous times the camera tells us that just as the Jewish people are about to greet meshia the Messiah is about to arrive the Jewish people have this great war as they have to fight the war of Gog and Magog Armageddon the final war right before my chefs about to come and in that war machine me know safe mushiya the son of Joseph who comes from a tribe of Joseph he is killed in that war and are those who say that it's not actually the Machine Yosef who's kayla but rather the it's a horror that's killed the evil inclination is destroyed and the measure she talks about the Gomorrah to come on sucka at the end of the at the end of the mess after the end of the track date that speaks about the fact that everyone is crying when nature heart is destroyed when the ship and Yosef is killed when Messiah the son of Joseph is killed and I was thinking about the fact that it's clear to me that there's a connection between the measures that we just read and that Gomorrah and succor which speaks about the crying that goes on and I believe that the idea is and this it's it's amazingly deep the idea is that as we stand at the threshold of a new reality as we stand at the threshold of entering into air TRL we're about to go under the chuppah to enter into a true relationship with God to enter into his home so to speak as we're about to enter into a new reality which is the days of machine there's a moment in time where there's crying going on there's crying going on and what's the crying about the crying is about the fact that there's an aspect of the Jewish people which is lost there's an aspect of the Jewish people which is lost and that is 24,000 people of the tribe of shimon very interesting that's a whole other schmooze why Shimon it's a whole other conversation not for now but there's a whole piece of the Jewish people that's lost that's destroyed 24,000 why is that happening here why is the crying going on why is there this destruction that's going on here and I believe the answer is very connected actually to one of the ideas that I speak about in my book and that is back to the time of Saddam why is it that at the time that Avram aveeno Abraham is about to get the information the same Milo from the same angels who tell him that he's going to have a child and that's Isaac they are the ones who go on and destroys the dome and they are the ones who kick load out of Sudan they pull him out and they bring him to that place where he ends up being with his daughters it's all connected and the idea that i shared then and i believe it's the same idea that we see over here the idea is that when something new is about to come into the world when we're about to transcend into a new reality the jewish people are about to be born Yitzhak isaac is going to be the progenitor of the Jewish people that when that when that's coming into the world with something good is coming to the world like that there's a destruction of evil that occurs there's a destruction of evil now the evil has to manifest to a certain extent in a very strong way in order for to be recognized and destroyed and that I believe is what happened with Saddam Saddam as ghazala are say to tell us it saw malaya it had reached a point where its measure was full that meant that it had manifested evil to the point where the evil would now have to be burned off destroyed there's a deep reason why I'm not going to get into that now but that's the reality of it the at the same moment that the Jewish people are about to be conceived born brought into the world that new level is about to happen it needs to be destruction of evil at the same moment that's Saddam's destruction and load very interestingly he ends up with his children with his two daughters they have a child mo of mo of is going to cause the Jewish people to send many many years later and but also many many years after that there's going to be a great great granddaughter of mo of her name is rose Ruth she's going to be the great-grandmother of King David and of mushiya of the Messiah so the destruction of Saddam produces the great-grandmother of meshia and interestingly it produces it in a very strange way and that's also another conversation but what I want to focus in on here is that the measures clearly is pointing us that there's a connection between Avram from that time of avrum until now from the time of Abraham to Saddam to the daughters of lote there's a connection to that time because that time was a turnover time it was a moment in time where the the world was going up where a new revelation a new level was being reached whenever a new level is reached so the evil has to manifest to a certain extent and be destroyed the Jewish people even though the Jewish people were amazing and beautiful and for 400 years over 400 years four hundred and forty years they hadn't been involved in any less centrist behavior but latent within the Jewish people was an aspect of the Jewish people which woke up so to speak when they drank the waters of Saddam when they drank that water that water brought out from the Jewish people that part of the Jewish people which had to be brought up manifests and destroyed that's what happened here they drank of the waters sue dome so to speak which meant that he rush em led them to a place where that negative power which was latent within them had to manifest be decimated and it's unbelievably ironic that it it was manifest as a result of something else that had happened four hundred and forty years earlier as a result of drinking that waters that load had drink drank those waters and ended up with his own daughters so there's that connection that that that underlying theme that underlying kind of behind the scenes that went on but the point here is and the idea here is that this unfortunately was a necessary evil that evil had to come out be destroyed in order for the Jewish people to be ready to enter into the Land of Israel and it's not a coincidence that pin class the one who ended them again foe who destroyed the evil who killed Zimmern and this woman this this midnight woman is princess he was the one who would be one of the two spies who would enter into Land of Israel as we spoke about not long ago he was the one who allowed for the possibility of the Jewish people to be able to enter into Israel because he was the one who nipped the evil in the bud so to speak and destroyed it as it manifested I want to ask you to bless me and I'm going to bless you that Hashem should help us to recognize when the stuff that comes up for us when the evil that comes up in our lives is something that needs to be recognized and destroyed and recognize that it's something that's necessary sometimes that there be occasions in our lives that we drink heaven forbid of the of the mayonnaise Hoshi Tim this water can cause us to do things that we wouldn't ordinarily do that we may have been pure from for four hundred and forty years so to speak and ash um should help us to recognize that this is not who we are but rather this is something that is coming up because we are moving to a new level perhaps in our service of a Shem these challenges are challenges that we have to face off with and that we need to eradicate the evil from ourselves some should help us to be able to do that to recognize it see it for what it is now champ should help us to get to our individual personal promised lands thank you so much for listening i have a wonderful shabbos this podcast was made possible through the
