Ari Goldwag - Vayechi - Will Into Action

you're listening to the weekly parsha podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with oceans never-ending assistance in ramappa Jim issues real 57 79 2018 Suisse parsha is purchased by Fe and in our partial we have the blessings of Yaakov Inoue Jacob it gives his sons the twelve tribes of the Jewish people his twelve sons and our sages they tell us that Yaakov Aveeno Jacob before he wanted to give these blessings to his sons he first wanted to reveal the kids he wanted to reveal when the Messiah was going to arrive where Messiah will come when uh when the advent of the times of a shock would it would occur but he was unable to do so and our sages tell us that he was concerned perhaps one of his children is not fitting someone who doesn't have fully believe in Hashem properly and God and they replied and said no she might feel a shock you know in my heart here o Israel Hashem our God of Shem is one and then he quietly responded shamefully solo I'm ahead blessed is the name of the honor of God's kingship forever and so we see that this idea is hinted to in the verses themselves in chapter 49 verse 1 the verse tells us like crocodile bun of Jago calls to his sons are you more hail tsubaki de la camisa sure you cross coming out her and say Amon and I will come gather round and I will tell you that which will occur to you at the end of days so he's speaking about what's going to happen in the future time you come to worship in a Yaakov gather together and hear o sons of Jacob assurance relevee come listen to your father Israel but now as the verses continue we don't seem to see too much about the future talking about what's gonna happen and one mashiac one Messiah arrives rather gives blessings he said roofing is my firstborn etc talks to Shimon he talks to lady he talks to you each one of them he gives their his direction for them he explains to them what their special kunis a nephesh their special spiritual qualities are and he doesn't seem to talk about the future time so the question is we need to understand what is the idea here as far as what does it means trying to reveal the future once you trying to reveal the key when the machine is going to come why is he doing that now why does he not actually reveal it what is the idea behind him expressing it perhaps expressing the future time with the blessings in the description of each of their special tonus a nephesh there's special character traits what is the idea that they say to my fellow shaman ok neshama thought heroism or God of Shem is one what is the concept behind this what is the depth I'd like to share with you a Gomorrah which I was studying yesterday which at first glance doesn't really seem so much to do with ours with our subject but one truth has very much to do with our subject in fact it underscores the idea that I'd like to share with you and I think that which is the shaft understanding of the verses here the Gemara tells us some really interesting cool things a whole number of things that if first-class also seem to be unrelated to each other however when we look at them in depth when we understand what is the concept so we'll see that there is one constant which underscore is the mole which underlies all that's going on the Gemara is looking more and suck on that human gimel page 53 and it's speaking about what would happen when the Jewish people were in a temple on circus on the holiday of Circus and they will rejoice in a simple space of show Eva they had a special joyous time where everyone would dance the great said he can the righteous individuals who dance in front of all of the multitudes men and women would watch and they would dance some of them would juggle things some of them would would have some kind of exclamations that they would make so the Gemara says like this that there were two types of people says cast even on shame I saw that there were righteous individuals and they're people who had many good deeds they would dance Turner I bono me of a Bryce Leishman I remember sure I'll do essentially be Shizuka no say no you know I seen on sham Isis they were righteous individuals that had never sinned and therefore they said they would sing where they would say praise worthy is our youth that it did not embarrass our old age the asian-american essentia give us a loose and there were those who would say praiseworthy is our old age then it was Mahabad atoned for what happened in our younger days raela bali chuva this is this was the statement of those who repent repenting those who were those who had been not as good in their youth but became closer to God in their old age hey libido I remember stream you like auto mr. Hatta yo should be in coal I both would say praise where the issue has not sinned whoever has sinned him return and he will be forgiven so it's very interesting here is the Jewish people gathering together and they're rejoicing the the similar space of show ever had to do as they sisters over here I had to do with the fact that they were they were on the simple level they were drawing water and they were putting there they were pouring the water into the men's bath and there was going to be a judgment over water and the rain for the coming year was gonna be judged at that time but on another level there was an idea of drawing Ruach Hakodesh drawing down from heaven in the base some a dish in the temple at this time there was a special special opportunity for people who wished to connect to God through divine inspiration to receive that divine excuse me divine inspiration at that time so the joy of receiving divine inspiration was part of why they were dancing okay so it's interesting that at that time they were speaking about the fact that they were dancing about what was the song they're singing of singing about not saying sinning and f1 sins to return to God so we have the calcium that tsadikim the righteous ones and we have the people who are less righteous in their youth became more righteous as they got older now that's one point so we have the point of the dancers Tanya oh no how about I'll he'll is sucking the Gemara this is like this he'll uzuki and Hillel the elder they could show you have cement with some kind of business waiver when he would rejoice in the service base of show wave armor he would say cane like this and he says a few things now listen carefully he's very interesting what he would say what was the song you were saying or what was the statement you would make your money cannot call calm if I am here everyone is here main economy cut if I'm not here then who is here and you referring to himself in the deep understanding of it is referring to God if God is there in the temple so then we are all able to come to the temple but if God is not in the temple if the temple is destroyed whatever it is so then the Jewish people cannot obviously come to the temple and have access to that level of spirituality Oh mark Cain okay you said like this also he said nothing well you Americain lahmacun Shani I am sham rattling relief us to see very interesting he said that in the name of as it were in God's name the place that I love listen to this carefully the place that I love that's where my feet lead me does this mean I'm not sure we're gonna find out in Tavia basiony of oil base car he says another thing Hashem says to the Jewish people if you come to my house if you come to the temple I'll come to your house I'll bring my Shekinah bring my divine presence to where you are in your homes then I can watch the place metal light time I will base the any layer of oil base but if you don't then I won't if you don't come to my house I won't come to your assertion mr the hall I'm welcome assure as clear as Jimmy of a lack of beer after you sir anywhere the verse tells us so verse in schmoes and Exodus chapter 20 anywhere where I mentioned my name I will come to you and I will bless you okay so do you wanna have blessings here's what you gotta do says the verse here's what you got to do says the Gemara go to the temple go to the place where God's presence is if you go to that place then a sham says he's going to come to your place he's very interesting but if you don't you choose not to go to God's temple so then God does not come to your place what is the idea here what is the depth of this another point another point F who rug you can great Lusaka should suffer I'll pay him I mean listen to this interesting the the gomera tells the story it's its mission and others and ethics of our forefathers chapter 2 verse Mishnah Mishnah 6 particular Tana was coming was walking along and he saw a interestingly a skull that was floating on the water it was someone had been beheaded who died I'm a Lada taped at fool why is why is it that I see you you drowned somebody else therefore you were drowned much affected to phone and those who drowned you they will be drowned yeah that's the whole little piece there also seems to have no connection not clear exactly what the point is but for some reason there was a skull floating in the water and he knew that it had been drowned by somebody because he that person had drowned somebody what's the idea what's the idea of the skull here oh maybe a condom okay last point I really I can regulate the bar in issued Arvind a Yochanan says something also seems to have no connection but it's it's amazingly connected we will soon see he says the feet of a person are the guarantors of the person tired the mat boy Tom on the place where he needs to go my vealinger say they bring him a person's feet bring him to where he needs to go listen to the story hannah tardy crucially there were two never too cushy snob economy coming they were King Solomon's servants le RF v Akio Ben ashishot sevenish lamentable they were these two people at the - out here the sons of she said they were scribes of King Solomon yellow card one day has in a Malachi mob is Nava cuts if the Angel of Death King Salman saw the angel that he saw that the Angel of Death was sad only I might see the system why you so upset later kabuemon aha neat article shy the yeah see haha he says these two guys these two coup she's a horrifying alia I need them I I'm supposed to he didn't say this explosives but he said I was I'm supposed to kill them but they're not going to where I need them to go north me to kill him must mean Elysium Chadron amused to lose so which I did as soon as he heard it the Maha Mabus wanted to get them he sent them to a place called lose this was a legendary place gomorrah speaks about it it was a place which existed and perhaps still exists where if you would go and be in that place you could not die the maha mamas angel had no power in that place so he sees the Angel of Death wants to get them so he sends them to the place where the angel of death has no power so that they won't get killed hematoma who'sa Deleuze before they got to lose there's another city on the edge of lose/lose Heights and as soon as they got to lose Heights even they died they didn't quite make it to lose to the safe place Lamar has he Muhammad Mustafa Kabbalah the next day King Salman saw the Angel of Death and he looked pretty happy oh really I'm I believe cuz he said why are you so happy I'm in labor attire the boom you know come on shudder to know the place that I needed them to go he hadn't told King Solomon where they needed to be in order from to kill him but the place that they needed to be was the the place next to Lowe's that's where they needed to go and King Solomon was the one who sent them there yeah - Lenovo amar so King Solomon who had tried to save them he realized that there's a deep idea that's going on here regulate about inish you know the irony mail item is boiling up time on my vealinger say the feet of a person so they guarantee him the place that he needs to go is where his feet lead him okay so it's an amazing thing if a person is meant to be in a certain place somebody's gonna get there yeah when I read this story I'm like why is he talking to King Salman when you talk to them directly or why didn't he talk to their mother or why you know like what why is a king Salman why they why are you talking why is the Angel of Death appearing to it Elam homologue what's the concept here what is the idea what is the depth that's going on here in this tomorrow and I believe that the depth that's going on in this Kimura is is amazing it's amazing and it's and it's Tong moon it's hidden inside of the statement if you come to my house I will come to your house okay what is the idea if you come to my house I will come to your house if you don't come to my house I will come to your assertion is saying and ideas like this there are two possibilities we have as we spoke about previously last week we spoke about or two weeks ago we spoke about the fact that there's all the 12 a.m. to 12 different limbs of a human being and there's the aspect and that corresponds to the 12 tribes the Jewish people there's the heart which is yo safe as we said there's Yehuda which is the mind but it's clear that the heart in the mind they have power over all of the limbs of a human being okay so if a person desires a person has an intellectual desire or an emotional desire to do something so all of the limbs of the human being they're involved in in executing that desire executing that Rutzen okay rug lead of our image the feet of a person are the lowest extremity of the human being the when we say that the the mind desires something the person desires something or the heart desire something and it goes when we say that the feet do the desire of the mind it just means that every single aspect all the way down to one's feet which are the farthest from the mind all aspects of the human being are involved in that which the mind desires now which the the Rutzen of the human being the desire of the human being now a sham is telling us something amazing he's saying if you come to my house I will come to your house Hashem is saying you have two options your feet are going to do your feet are going to walk your path is going to go in in which it will naturally flow in the direction of your rut zone of your desire now you have two options what that desire can be the desire can be LaToya if it can be for good or it can be for evil now depending on what your rut son is well everything else will flow out from that so we have a guy here he's a murderer he drowned somebody his head his head is that which is floating above the water right the ruts on the the desire of a person is beyond logic its previous to logic because that's how the the Cermak addition speak about it the rustle of a person is connected to Kessler which is above the mind an idea is the the head of the of the person who drowned someone else was floating above the water that represents the fact that what was his desire his desire was to kill somebody to do something negative distant from Russell Hashem his desire was a certain way and what is it the effect the the rollout effect the Gil the Miz gala forum the that which comes after it is that there's just another another death and another death and another drowning well we have a choice we have a choice which way we're going to go and depends on the the cast there depends on the crown it depends on the king that which is king over our bodies and that's our minds the Malacca Mabus appears to him to show them up to King Solomon because everything that comes every desire that a person has comes from the top and goes down to the feet the in order for the muhammad is to get the the servants of king solomon to go somewhere he need to speak specifically to King Solomon himself because they were nothing more than then the limbs so to speak of King Solomon so therefore mela had to send them to that place the place that they needed to go was determined however by the Ruslan by the mind by the top by the King Hashem says come to my palace come to my come to my castle come to my Mick - to my base I'm ENGLISH to my temple if you come to my temple so then you are saying that where do I want to go what do I want to do what is my roots my resin is rotzinger Shem my desire is to do God's will if your desire is to do God's will then you'll see if you come to my house a sham says I'm gonna come to your house I'm gonna come to you where you are where the feet are where you are right with am the main person the main place where a person manifests all the midst is that he does all of the the children that that he brings into the world is in his house so Shem says if you come to me that means you're choosing me you're choosing Rutzen hashem if you choose the the will of God then God's will will be present in your home that's why interestingly I believe we call it Aliyah luego when we go up to the base I'm English three times a year suka s-- Pesach shwoo is these three times a year right what is the idea about Lila reggae we go up for the regular I go means the holiday but the word regel also means a foot we are being a little origami are raising up our feet the feet are that which represents the action of the human being the the things that go on their own we don't think about we don't think about the walking that we do it just happens naturally but what are we trying to do that all of our haired Galen the things that we are habituated to which is the same word as feet all of our habits are a Leo they are raised up we go to the base image three times a year to remind ourselves what is it that we want what is our rots on what is our desire and when we acknowledge that our desires rest on Ash and the will of God so then that is something that that comes down from our minds from our desire from that expression of what we want and the result is that we do a Shems will and that's also why we have the house even on shameiess so the righteous ones they're dancing with their feet right the the ballet jouvert they're dancing and they're saying Ashley Michel AHA what do we want we want the will of Hashem praiseworthy someone who has never sinned and if we have sinned if we have fallen down to the place where we're at at the feet level where we're in a place which is disinformation we are we want to realign our will that it should be one with Hashem swell bless the idea of this gamar I believe that's the connection between all of these different points within the Gemara now let's get back to the outcome of unit 2 Jacob Jacob wants to reveal the case he wants to reveal the end write the word capes means the end here he is at the beginning he's at the Rose she's at the that they're about to walk into gullies they're about to walk in to the Exile of the Jewish people the first of many exiles of the Jewish people so here we are at the beginning and Yaakov wants to say to his sons you know where we're going do you know what the goal is do you know what the where we're headed the end is what is our rustle what is our will what is our desire to get to the time of Messiah of the Messiah when God's will is going to be revealed in the world where everyone will see that all there is is godliness that's what he wanted to tell them he wanted to focus them on where are we going what is our ruts on what is our will so that all of the walking all of the traversing of all the challenges and the gully owes the Exiles everything whether we're in Israel with her and we're outside of Israel all of this is part of where we're headed we are always headed towards gula toward Redemption now he wasn't allowed to say explicitly when it is that they're going to have that Redemption but he was able to show them how to walk Yaakov Aveeno is the mind of Claudius RAL he's the ruts on Kleiss well he is the roots he is higher than Yosef he's higher than you know he's beyond heart he's beyond mind he is in the Kassar aspect he is the idea of the crown right so he says to his sons each of them this is how you walk he's speaking to each of the limbs and he's showing them this is our desire we are headed toward aqua Sangamon we are headed towards shema yisrael hashem elokenu hashem echad what is it that unifies all of the Jewish people into oneness that's what the sons were answering to their father they were saying we are all focused when he said to them perhaps there's somebody here who doesn't who's not properly believing in God they said no no everything that we are doing everything that we're interested in is Rutzen Hashem is the will of God so Yaakov needed to get that out of them he needed to direct them and give them each what is this limb meant to do what is the hands purpose what is the other hands purpose what are the ears - what are the eyes do what is the heart - what are the legs do the Jewish people are a body and each of the different choix to make sure the different tribes of the Jewish people have a certain task it are a certain limit of the Jewish people and he was directing them from the mind through the idea of rut so where are we headed what is it that we are choosing we're choosing to do God's will are we choosing to do our own will so they all responded and said we're not interested in our own world we're not interested in anything other than Shem - relish and looking on Macleod Hashem our goddess shemin's one we are only interested in God's will and then he proceeded to give them the direction of how each of these limbs should walk along so to speak so I want to bless you and ask you to bless me some should help us that we should recognize what is our target what is our purpose in the world and now Shem should help us because we have a choice right we have a choice to choose either that it should go based on our out zone are you go or to go based on the retina Shem what it's a shamble for us Shemp should bless us and help us to choose his will so that all of our walking all of our actions all of our going all of our constraints all of our towns all of our abilities should be used for ascension to fulfill the will of God thank you so much was for listening a wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners
