Why do we go out into the Succah? What is meant by our sages when they say the Succah serves as if we had gone to exile for our sins?

you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with our Eagle wag recorded with
us shows never-ending assistance 57 79
2018 this week's partial partial sassy
no like to share with you a thought from
the parsha and i also want to show you a
thought that's connected to this kind of
Friedlander in our partial so we have
this song we spoke about last week the
song which reminds the Jewish people of
their connection to God their your
covenant with God and their obligation
to that covenant now what it means to
keep the confident what it means to keep
and connect and retain the connection
with Hashem at the very end of our
parsha the Torah tells us web emotion of
a dabber it's called divine Shiraz I
suppose until Moses came and he spoke
out all the words of this song in the
ears of the nation who vote Shambo knew
he and Joshua the son of moon okay so
the Jews it was communicated to him it
was taught to them they had this song
they learned the song and interestingly
the pustak tells us again as we saw last
week yahushua himself who was to be the
future leader of the Jewish people was
also involved in teaching this song and
teaching the the words of the Covenant
now in speaking about this the metrics
points out well that's the questions
we'll come back to it soon but the
metric wants to understand why does it
mention Hosea again two parts of the
question number one is in regards to
Hosea Joshua so we already know that he
was involved in in this song we already
know that he was involved in learning
the song new teaching the song why is
the Torah demon necessary to tell us
again that Yahshua was part of the
teaching question of a war question
number two he says very interesting the
way that the Torah refers to him is not
just as yahushua
not just says joshua but rather he's
referred to as hosea which we know the
moshe of a new Moses was given Moses
gave him a new name Moshe when he was
sent on the mission of the spies so she
was given a new name which was yahushua
was given the extra unit in his name how
come over here we were flirting as
Hoshea why would referring to him as his
name his previous name and
in fact from from now on really he's
referred to as yahushua not as much as
so what's the why is it or mention over
here his concept of Hoshea why's he
referred to as host Oh Shia so before we
answer all these questions
the I want to share with you some ideas
of thought about Circus which is very
much connected to the idea of yahushua
and the song and what it's supposed to
teach us and why the Torah refers to
yoshua as a Shia and what is idea of
circus you know we just came out of
young Kippur we just came through the
challenge purifying ourselves of
repenting in front of Hashem in front of
God showing a remorse and what's what's
the transition from Sookie's from sorry
from yom kippur to sook is how are we to
understand it is there a connection
between these holidays so I'd like to
read to from inside from her kind of
Friedlander Masuka Stacia she was young
the verse tells us that we need to sit
in service for seven days the money a
deed or a seven keep my sister shocked
it's been a story about Co Samaritans
right so we need to know why is it that
we have an obligation to sinless so good
it's because we need to remember that
Shem when he brought us out of Egypt
during the 40 years of our time in the
wilderness so Hashem gave us the circus
he covered us with the divine clouds of
his glory
kizomba varam comet Amelie could be a
Scottish dish without her Pesa there's a
question that comes up we need to
understand why is it that sue kiss is
now why isn't it after pace a Passover
the Jews left Egypt in the month of
Nisan right they receive the Torah but
all of their all the things that that
were going on as far as then being
protected and they're being sitting in
circus that occurred then that occurred
immediately as they were spending their
time in the wilderness which was
immediately after after Pesach why do we
wait until now why do we wait until the
fall the end of this to the end of the
summer to celebrate suka s--
what's the understanding of that so he
brings down a very interesting thing he
says very much connect
to the holiday of Yom Kippur why what's
idea because Yom Kippur we are judged
between us Hashanah Yom Kippur we are
judged and sometimes it could be he
brings a man dish that tells us I'm not
gonna read it inside but it could be
possible the Jewish people as a result
of their sins as a result of their lack
of humility as a result of them having
lost their relationship with God it's
possible that they could have been the
sky of gulls but they could have
incurred a penalty a decree that they
would have to go into godless they'll
have to go into exile
so God says the Jewish people instead of
going into exile I have a better idea
for you one that can accomplish somehow
we need to understand how but somehow
can accomplish the same thing and that
is building yourself a Sukup exile
yourselves from your homes leave your
house leave your beautiful homes your
solid homes enter into a cyka cyka is
something which is impermanent
it's a place where you know you're not
as protected from the elements go there
and any cube goes any obligation if
we're going to exile you will Potter you
will circumvent not really circumvent
but you'll you'll be able to be Yates's
you'll be able to get yourselves the
instead of going into exile this will we
consider the Exile and in such a way so
you will get out of the punishment and
instead you'll sit in the sukkah and the
obvious question there are kind
Freelander asks and we need to
understand what's the idea that you know
it's a very nice gullets it's a very
nice exile sitting in the sukkah with
your family surrounded by by the
mistress of of suka s-- it's a very fun
place to be it's a great opportunity
it's it's something that's very nice it
doesn't sound like exile usually we
think of exile what's the idea of exile
what is it helping if a person has done
something wrong how does going into
exile help the person that that should
take away the stain of their sin the
answer is as he explains because the
idea of exile is ha no it's too
to impart into a person to human being a
sense of humility because what was it
the separated him from God that caused
him to do the Avera to cause him to
separate himself in God it was the fact
that he didn't have humility so by going
into exile so the result is that he
regains his humility how does this
sucker help us in that asset how does it
help us to regain our humility how does
it have the same effect as going into
Gullah says going into exile so so he
explains as follows and this also
explains why it is that suka says at
this time
why is suckish during the Kufa during
the time period of the end of the summer
the beginning of the fall what's
happening now so he tells us that
another name for suckers is chaos if
khakha us it means the holiday of the
ingathering because what happens during
the time of circus during the time of
circus this is a time that people are
bringing in from their fields all of the
produce the bringing in the - of the
grains the bringing in the food from the
trees this is the time that we bring it
all in now what's the danger that
happens what's the possible things that
can that that can go through a person's
mind when such a thing is going on so
kind see down there points out see when
I said this with some coffee at Tijeras
a penal law value they had Yamaha ironic
bombing of he's a super sausage a little
granddaughter hogwash of the Roman about
commercialization of the castle what
happens during this time so there's a
purification that happens of course of
the of the holidays because you've gone
through Yom Kippur we've gone through
the challenges we've gone through the
repentance we've gone through the
fasting etc but at the same time as you
bring in all this food is bringing all
of the produce is you bring all the
fruits person can forget about God it's
possible to say hey look look at what
I've done I've done all of this work
I've put in all of these efforts and
look what I've accomplished
I might evoke up a few asking us to
leave us a pile has it person could say
it's my strength that's accomplished
this what is the power of the suit
though
what is the advantage of this ago what
happens when persons enters in
to the super so the super is called at
Cielo the Baja Musa which means the
shade of trust in God he says like this
six Allah not a lot saves me Theo's
Kevin oh dear Sarah the Torah tells us
that we should leave a permanent place
we should go into an impermanent place
the dish an evening service very very
active it needs to be a place which is
built out of the leftovers of the of the
granary and the winery funeral hazael is
our sages say our possible coming are
coming back up
what is that they were to take this the
leftovers we're not to focus on the main
aspect where we take the leftovers and
that's what we use for our so good an
estimate use for the sky that's what we
use for the roof of our suka and in this
way it reminds us today look verb enough
she knew she liked our making sure the
same finish on my lamb hey meat in one
of us unnecessary it's not the work that
we've done it's not the gore in itself
it's not the granary it's not the the
winery it's not that's not what gives us
even though it looks like that's all the
work that we've done that's what we're
benefiting from know the Salus we use
the secondary stuff to remind us Shane
oh no my office in law call Kosovo's we
don't look at the granary and stuff we
don't look at the winery itself we don't
look at our work we look at we look at
the secondary aspects of it
rocky t10 Leno's have midsection if
submit see live it Susheela flesh more
fuel what is it that gives us the power
what is it that gives us the coverage so
to speak what does it think that it
takes care of us it's the command of God
it's the obligation that we have to take
the leftovers and cover ourselves with
that cover our sticker with that and I'm
in boy you want to similar kind of
license file we trust that it's God it
gives us the power wish I wanted of it
all my life as King David said she
Ramallah sits in Psalms chapter 127
verses to
sure must assure me of my family even if
I show a little boy oh boy if if her
coach book if God Himself is not
building the house if God was not behind
the building up of the Land of Israel
even today
so you can't build there's nothing to
build mush unleash my air show show that
shine if God is not protecting a city
all of the Watchers
watch in vain shava kamesh me Akuma
after a Chevis never met 7k neat indeed
a shame there's a recognition King David
gives us and it's not us it's not about
what we're doing it's not our work it's
a shell who's behind it all that's what
that's what the sucker teaches us first
Raven as resolution and King Athena
shaman is go tomorrow
whatever Shana out Derek Masuku
schnozzle av that there's two ways that
a person can perceive the work that he's
doing sometimes the work that a person
does it seems like it's because of him
but there's another way gosh um perhaps
let's say on Friday nights
Shabbos person is not working now she
causes the ring to come the rain you
know it comes down causes everything to
grow and there's a recognition that as
he's sleeping he's not even doing
anything
Sasha I'm doing everything in an attempt
here colleagues are mastermind Lakota
you Tina Shenk Asher Gaza
everything is decreed by heaven Hashem
gives everything based on his decree
looking at Shiva South America so he
goes with that voice it's not the way
there are person thinks that it's
because of my actions it's because of my
thoughts is because of my you know all
the things that I'm working out that's a
the divert the the verses teaching us is
the kingdom is teaching us and that's
the idea of the suka it's to teach us
that it's not about us it's not our
actions it's not us that's doing it I'm
sure coach broken eternity the ability
of havilah Krishna as s-snow say
Shama shows us that he gives us all the
things that we need even without us
doing anything
Shampoo star said it's not our efforts
sometimes yes God brings it through our
athletes sometimes he gives us what we
need through our efforts but other times
you shows us that it's not what we're
doing it's it's God himself doing it for
us and that's the that's the teaching of
this circuit that's what the suka comes
to teach us and that's our entering into
now that's why it's DAF get this time
specifically not have to pace off not
after Passover not after we've left
Egypt but rather it's at this time when
we're gathering in all all of our fruits
and our produce and it's easy to think
it's austin's our know we go out and we
remind ourselves it's not us it's not
our work after Yom Kippur we go in to go
see we
exile ourselves to remind ourselves to
be much Nia ourselves to humble
ourselves and recognize that it's from a
shell it's from God it's got himself
who's done it for us now I want to bring
you back that's what I'm through that
Freelanders beautiful voice this
beautiful idea about suckers I'll bring
it back now to our circle minhas II know
where we had yahushua and Mascherano
most is teaching the Jewish people to
solve now why was his name changed but
also it says interestingly and this is
what the Medes focus in on focuses in on
who by Schaben own since that Moses came
and he spoken all out
he and Hosea Haman Yahshua Joshua so the
measures tells us like this on immunity
inside his beautiful measures its aniseh
free who worship inaudible acronym of a
commercial a sermon on Yahshua we
already know that Moshe
I called Yahshua he took changed his
name from our share to yahushua why is
he being referred back to by his
previous name in the name of his youth
but remember who I am alone
well I did sequential you're sure this
teaches us the great righteousness of
Joshua shame on you should suffice
dietary love you might think that what
happened that Yahshua was now opposed to
be the leader of the Jewish people he
was the man he was in charge he was
everything and yet so you might think
that perhaps he became haughty machinist
monomer shoes tamil Mr Hoover shared
balloon that's why it tells it tells us
his name the name of his youth his
previously shared Sitka just like O'Shea
when he was youth he didn't know he was
going to be a leader he didn't know he
was destined for greatness
and yet he was righteous at that time
and yet he was humble at that time
application is not a parasail his role
we shared secret yahushua remains humble
he remained you know in that state of
humility towards god and towards the
jewish people and and he's telling the
amazing story to the Jewish people of
the covenant-- the song of the
covenant-- he's reminding them the tours
reminding us here
that there's the the point of the
Covenant is to remind us to be humble
that's the point of the circus to remind
us to be humble not to get caught up in
the work of our hands I think it's us
doing it God is doing it for us we need
to remain humble
yoshua himself it was the same PO Shia
it was the same young man the youth who
study Torah for Moshe Rabbeinu
he was the one it was that humility he
remained in his humility even as he
entered into a an amazing place of
leadership where were the Jewish people
and the manager adds for us that it
wasn't just yahushua who was like that
but this is a characteristic of jewish
leaders throughout history okay a severe
time MBA played by Miss tryna verse
tells us the Joseph was in miss Ryan
well as the tourists say Yosef hurry up
the more explicitly we see in other
places that the Gemara will - Liberty oh
yo which means Baja be asleep they hang
he remains he was what is idea that he
was in Egypt because he remained in a
state that he was previously he ain't on
the wouldn't chase of a miss Ryan the
verse tells us that he was in Egypt why
does it tell us that he was an issues we
already know from the whole story that
Yosef that Joseph was in Egypt let's eat
kosher Yosef J res said of him he's
telling us that there was something now
even though he was on a much in a
different place in different state of
mind in different position he was in a
position of power but there's something
that was that remained the way that he
was before that just like before when he
was the ROI at sign of him when he was
the shepherd of the fit the of the
flocks of his father he was humble he
was just by himself the Alpha business
madam elephant miss Ryan who yep it
seems right now even though he became a
king over Egypt was the same Joseph he
had the same level of humility okay it's
a boy you find sillerton good David
hooha cotton David it says if I King
David when he was being appointed to be
the leader over the Jewish people to be
the king he was the youngest of all his
brothers who are caught on the keikain
iniciativa cotton the tyrant already
described the Prophet our he told us
that he was the youngest why they need
to tell us again well the dear could see
teaches us the righteousness of King
David shahuri
Reyes he was the youngest why because he
was at the time when he was the youngest
one at the time when he was the the
shepherd of the flocks of his father he
was humble the application of my
motherland avocado he remains that state
he remained with that humility and
that's a characteristic of King David
there's a characteristic of Joseph now
as a characteristic of Joshua you the
leader of the Jewish people he remained
in his state of humility and that is the
characteristic of the Jewish people we
you know it's an amazing high we get
over your Kippur we get forgiven for all
of our sins
that's an amazing high and we feel like
wow look what we did we pray we fasted
all day we did it we got through the day
we got our we got our atonements right
it feels like we've done it and we we
are collecting all of the the UH see the
fruits the produce and I feel like look
what we've done but the Jewish people
step out of our homes we step into a
Sukkah to remind ourselves just like
Joshua reminded himself he remember who
he was you don't forget even as you as
he was being appointed leader of the
Jewish people he was who was eminent
Moshe had that characteristic he was and
so is Joshua Joshua had that
characteristic that he remained humble
as he was before he became great Yosef
had that dubbin had that and that's
something that we need to incorporate as
you come into the holiday of Sukkot and
we need to be reminded of with parshas
house II know I wanna bless you and ask
you to bless me a Shem should help us to
recognize the opportunities Circus
brings us where we're coming under the
sale of a put the tofu into the the
shade of God as it were God is embracing
us but in order to get there
we need to remember how it was before we
had all of this produce how it was
before we had all of this success how it
was before we had all that we have now
so I'm blessing you and asked her to
bless me she will help us to to
recognize take the opportunity to
develop that humility to develop to
develop the attitude of our greatest
leader
yoshua of moisture of a know Moses of
Joshua of Yosef of King David thank you
so much for listening I'm wonderful
Shabbos
