Between the Straights 9th of Av with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] yes we're gonna pick up we're still Deuteronomy chapter one it's still very much the first and second verse it actually says Bane Parag boo Bane total between a place called piranha and Toto and we already mentioned in the previous video that many of these places don't really exist puradox is the total dozens okay so some of the other places that are mentioned because Moses is giving them rebuke and he's giving it to them in a hinting fashion by mentioning these places and they would pick up the idea that this is where they sinned with a particular mistake and they would understand that they have to do true ver so it's interesting because it says in Hebrew babe piranha ooh Bain toto and if I say bangle Bain it really means between between here between there but I'm not mentioning any man I'm just saying it means between so if you take out the the proper noun of what we're talking about it's those just language between even in English they say between Quran but doesn't say and between tofo but between Perron and between tofo so we go that's what the Hebrew is Dame piranha bait so he'll the lust should bei know bein there is um there's no what does it mean aim low shock Arvin youth club a parish Rashi according to the klique are he's actually going to argue with Rashi now what does it mean to argue with him he's not saying that Rashi whatever Raj is saying is wrong he's saying that's not the source that's not the most pursuit that's not the most simple explanation for the verse I'll give you the most simple explanation verse where Rashi is saying is a different level of understanding he cannot argue with Roxy because Rashi is bringing verses and understanding from the Gemara from the oral torah so whenever you see arguments the arguments are usually on not that what you're saying isn't true what you're saying is it the first level understanding visit there's a more simpler way of understanding of what you're saying is a deeper level so according to the klique art when it says toe fell I'm telling you it means this Rashi says it means that that doesn't mean the rush is wrong just he's saying Rashi chose the wrong source to explain the pusher shot them to simple explanation so anytime you hear arguments among rabbis 99.9 percent of what they they already agree on it's one little nuance that it sounds like it's a huge argument between night and day and it usually is not so listen to it and you know what he even says if I was Rashi and I wanted to prove the point I would have used a different source and it really strengthens Rashi and then he goes that uses a different understanding and his understanding is but I was enlightened you tonight with so he says there's no way to really clarify and understand Raj's point of view and another question he says is law although his skill if I thought the retinas Indian may be revived in other words the word the waters of strife that that's not mentioned and it could have been mentioned if you look in Psalms 106 look he wants to say all the provocations of God are not mentioned for example the waters of Mareva if you look in Psalms 106 32 it says they provoked God by the waters of the river the yacht sifu on main river they provoked a sham and of course Moses suffered because of them okay so that's the first point he wants to make that not every not every argument of contention against God is mentioned you came how you McCarthy Russia llama Lowe's uh promotion Club kolakozhi of Shakey's he kiisu why did not why didn't those is because these are all coming from Moses why didn't know as mention all the different types of places that the Jewish people angered God so rather there's some very interesting inference that he wants to make by using the language Baloo bein a very important lesson of hinting remember we said in the last video that the hinting is the greatest way of giving rebuke why because at parag parag was the place that the spies were sent from and just by mentioning Parag which is a real place you're reminding them of the spies and cofell according to Rashi that is talking about the mod the heavenly food the angel cake that we ate and how do we know look in deuteron Bamidbar that's numbers 21 5 right the people spoke against God and Moses why have you brought us out of Egypt behind the desert there is no bread and no water we're disgusted with this rotten bread they called the mods from heaven angel food they called rotten bread can you imagine rotten bread it's like hard to even get your head around that if you would give given mod it would be you would call it rotten bread unbelievable where does he do look you could look at Rashi on that it's one the next page on five but we'll go on so basically he wants to say that Damian Baena I'm sorry bene bene carrying in memory Bob that the truth is between those these two in the meanwhile what occurred was the waters of contention a poppy Samaha gusto shall Clara Nick tell a commotion around nerve line even the instance of Korah actually happened after the spies nevertheless it's written as if it happened before remember in the port lessons there is no order to the Torah you need the oral torah to understand what happened first what happens second because Rashi even mentions the word had say wrote right by hot they wrote so what do we know when did the mat locus of of karak take place look in 1216 where is 12 attract bring it down so I guess I didn't so if you look in numbers 12 16 you'll see it says the Year soon they have they wrote the heart of the mid Murat that hot they wrote that's where karach disputes of place and that happened before the skies were sent so from here from there was from their meaning Perron is where the spies were sent from so what do you hear from this that between this the action of the spies that happened in piranha and between the mice at otha which again heats not true what that is Rashi says that it's the complaining about the mud low high your Bianchi Masha create sifu am a Mareva it sounds like the only thing they had in their hands to complain about at the time was the waters as if to say zero Hamas ash a seat time big snake voula Mela this is where we're going to start getting into the meat potatoes that it's a mention of an action whatever banal vein is that something happened between two borders that were set up and this is a hint within a hint because according to Moshe even those is sinned in this even Moses sins with the memorybot and what was he afraid they would do that they would say told Cara you're telling us you have a bigger problem Moses one was not allowed into the Land of Israel because of that sin how came he flee ahead there but code in new heart that's why that sin was absorbed in and placed before and after he mayhem buck up riot hey Maya Sieber from them you actually take a proof that this was actually the reason to what the Iker kept example that the prime sin was actually in them they caused Moses to sit keep raw mossy seat and pepper on where it says over there looking it's also in Bamidbar numbers 14 for I didn't put any of this one in the page that's okay so 14 for right they said to each other let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt they they were tired of Moses they wanted a new king they want a new leader and not only that you know what they said they also said the same vltava of martin also regarding the mana the angel cakes lama Haley Tunis limits Ryan why did you bring us off from Egypt right just to kill us and also by the Navy Riva Lama Haley to new limits Ryan why did you bring us up it's all the same theme so from here you have a proof that every sin causes another sin that's similar to it so whatever was before was it whatever was after it also teaches her a reflects about a sin that was done baby obey me in the meanwhile and that was placed on him with his Moses placed on them but not on me Moses okay so if that was confusing now really a clarity okay so when we go back to the statement bein parado bein total meaning between these two the Russian of a new Bey he says odd this is the place where I'm going to add a whole nother level of understanding to explain what this concept is is that it's the time period between the 17th of Tammuz and the ninth of ah why because we already know now that the Quran was the place where the spies took place but in it right which in on the night above there would be a crying the baku bethere Shekinah a crying for nothing and now in that boohoo club Aquila Doros bailout is above that there would be a it would be established for crying for all generations on the ninth of our and TOEFL is nothing to do with the previous statement occur in winter we Rashi explained it but tough l is has to do with idol worship it has to do with the sin of the golden calf which took place on the 17th of Thomas and he's gonna prove it the TOEFL is the Eagle Eye Cheryl saw its referring to the golden calf which they made key Masha Parrish Rashi now he's going to go back to Rashi statement that the tip flew Aleman that they were disgusted on the Mond the word Tiffany means disgusted aimed logged in young Vinney Kura according to according to the clea card you don't find any comparison of TIFF Lu relating to maan in all the Torah but guess what the clear car finds one but he says because Rashi didn't mention the whole I'm gonna throw the whole thing out the youkai not only my Arashi before ablution it would have been better and more proper if Rashi would have explained it through the language that you'll find in job six six looking job six six can bland food be eaten without salt hai yeh account FL tough fail nibbly Mela right meaning Tessa can mean like secondary the real taste is from the prime food and whatever is secondary whatever is bland whatever is not the ECAR not here this is in the Flemish TEFL here means bland okay bland food so watch what he says he called over Shane belt on anything that doesn't have taste is called tough fail zeliha must came the different Rashi and this Rashi should agree this would actually sit well in other words if Rashi had only used this verse I would even agree with Rashi but Rashi didn't of alopecia a dark a new Corolla Schmo but according to my way of explaining it clinically car it now it's easy to understand that the Messiah gal that the actual making of the golden calf which is hinted at in the word cofell we find actually by idol worship in several places so the first place he brings in Jeremiah 23 13 see in the prophets of Samaria shimron we believe iation wrong we eat eat if Allah I saw Tiffa so we're talking about even though it says unseemliness think of it as things that are not things that are not much - what I'm looking for false things are false okay they were the prophets of Samaria I saw falseness they prophesized by bow and mislead my people Israel so you see that's relating to idol worship and idols are false idols are not God idols are worthless so that's what he's that's the first proof he brings and okay and also looking a clock eggs and lamentations 2 verse 14 it says your prophets have seen false and senseless visions for you the vehicles would look shoved the tough they'll shove is meaningless right shove is no value and Aunt Ethel Logie loo they didn't reveal anything okay they've not exposed so what it would be saying if the prophets have seen sharp false and another sense of falseness of think okay that's what it means and in SQL in Ezekiel 13 11 there's a little bit hard to understand but basically you're talking about when you buy a house you go in the daughter is obligated to teach you tell you what is really wrong with the house but what does he do instead he plasters over the cracks in the walls and he paints done but you know what's gonna happen it's gonna fall apart later and then you're gonna that's gonna be too late so he violated the law so this verse is saying say to the plasters with down the old it will fall right if there will be driving rain than you then you would you again the Cal stones will form the storm wind will crack it in other words don't plaster over the the bad stuff so the word cos ain't ethyl they clashed over beef all stuff that the bad stuff so he says this is what was said by the people who made the angle remember the people who made the Golden Cap they said here o Israel this is your God who took you out of Egypt is that true or false what do you said you was false it was like plastering over right it was all these valleys so the word Tefo applies who buzz Edna knew Tiffany Lilly they were like in plant they were giving God falsities did I not be Shem the master Thomas and all that happened on the 17th of Tammuz with over youngish tabular Luther's and what happened on the 17th of Tammuz the the tablets were broken and guess what God did he said the kiss of on e-mailin hoopla girls just like you broke these tablets the stones will forever be broken on this day for generations to come and that's why in the 17th of tamos the walls of your slime of reached the stone walls of you Slifer breached so now you have snagged Li Mei Liu Bei big fool Amalia stroller thieves baby miss battalion between these two days between the 17th of Tammuz and tisha / of Israel is sitting and crouching in judgment we're being judged this is the language banal bein between as it says here now look in Asia 1/3 apron is lamentations 1/3 do I have one here some one of the most important verses that I can't believe I didn't bring it I think it might have been brought our Lee ok look at number 15 you two went into exile because of affliction in great servitude go see you then the ie may rise the vigor he you're the GUI she settled amongst the going the Lord someone know matzah Manawa she didn't find any rest and ready now these are the important words co-wrote aha he see Guha vein maturing all her pursuers were talking about exile were talking at the darkest of times we're talking about affliction and servitude being amongst the amongst the gentile nations and what happens we find no rest and the pursuers cold road tell anybody chasing us catches up to us when bein happy terrain between the strengths what doesn't in between the straits between her boundaries these boundaries we refer to these three weeks from the 17th of Tammuz to the ninth of Ava's Baynham it's our aim we restrict ourselves from having good times until lean and swimming all kinds of stuff because why because dangerous very dangerous so many programs so many tragedies you know I can just tell you a few you know we could let's go work backwards we're gonna work backwards should we work backwards Kuwait was invaded in 1990 by Saddam Hussein on Tisha by earth and of course you know that led to the second the first war ii work and we had scuds we also know that world war one world war two as an extension of world war one horrible things happen in world war two one world world war one there was an assassination in the middle of the summer I forget what year was in nineteen fourteen nineteen thirteen whatever World War one started because of an assassinate and assassination that took place on Tisha above in 1492 I mean I'll have a whole list with me but this is just a major first category so you have 1492 do you know the date Columbus set sail was the day after to Shabbat the decree from Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand was the Jews were expelled or had to die or convert on Toshiba and Columbus asked to leave the next day because he had many Jews let us vote and he he asked that they don't travel on Tisha both and of course we're working our way backwards you know the Second Temple was destroyed on tissue of the first temple is destroyed to survive but the first tissue prop of all time we know was in the desert with the spies and the bear report on Israel so it was set as a time not too good topic not the good things so this is a very important verse coal rope thing you see Guha bainham it sorry I may in the right place keep Dame's head to a gala banquet tomorrow gleam core aerobics so between the sin of the golden calf and the sin of the spies we were sitting like crouching to be pounced upon the the DOE who little your fufu and we're being pressed and we're not able to stand up okay but Erica Taba now this is gonna be the solution guys now we heard all the bad stuff and this is gonna be the Musa there's the ethical teachings we need to take with us that we're gonna see that there's a natural way she Lu as if there is no god but producer that's not canonically possible and one is a more spiritual way but the truth is they're both very spiritual but one is God influenced and the other one is coming from our own influence so the way he says it is vedera hatela if you want to think about in natural terms a person cannot be saved okay the muses really keep it there let's have an ain't hot solid nay I got all youth limbic lavish Nader Raheem obese name care side to be saved from being pounced on by the enemy except in one of two ways or both so he's gonna give you two options or both you got two options or the third option a B or a and B Haman si Racha khana Prochaska Hashem is broth the first way is through the divine providence of God may he be blessed I'm not silikal had the vacant bow God will save anyone who clings to him who has an intimate relationship with him I am a nun at swimming but ever even if you are not strong you're not physically strong but God will save you nekoma call a shame the kind name 1/2 decision oh ha ha however whenever you fulfill the mitzvot love the Lord your God which can be found where given humble yet page six number 16 and you should love Balu your God with all your heart all your soul with all your might with all your ability so if you do that you love God it causes right what happens how great had the bakers a chemise bride it causes you to even come closer to God those who not to the cultivating bow then he will save all those who cling to him that's from the godly side what about a more natural side hey Matata Taba the other ideas from the natural side cachet makind name when you fulfilled the mitzvot remember any Mitzvah is not natural okay it's supernatural but when you fulfill the mitzvot and you shall love your neighbor as yourself this is in Leviticus 19:18 you should need to take revenge to bear a grudge against the members of the people but rather what should you do you should love your neighbors yourself it's a midst in the time then what happens as each Atreyu you are through when you love people people love you back and if you're down on your luck people will come and help you you need to long it'll come much easier if you're a nice person if you're one of those people nobody wants to really be around I'm not sure how many people lend you money or help you get out of your pit I think like a massage and L am this is like incredible he wants to go so first if you're really nice guy even if you're a sinner and you removed your relationship with God from upon you nevertheless there's a little bit of hope in a natural way as long as it provided you didn't really upset the applecart he uses words that you didn't go against the matrix if you didn't go against the Nate Lee the the maracas the system names man email now these two time periods we said about we said about the 17th of Tammuz and the ninth of are these two time periods Israel lost both aspects of help they lost their duvet concession they lost their clinging cleavage intimate relation with God and they lost their relationship with other people will explain them to Eve cave tell me a new soul aghasura because once you lose God and you lose other people who's gonna come and help you keep your share their bachelor but time moves don't the 17th of Tammuz what did they do they built the AYGO and in it what is what happens they went backwards the vacants of sham is meaning and ever longing to that relationship and moving closer but what happened on the 17th of Tammuz they went in Reverse they turned away from God well Peter with el Hashem is brought earlier you know what they did they turn the back of their necks to God the lopunny not their faces and now we know why the month of thomas is cancer is the crab how does a crab walk and crab walks on how that happy legs he has but he walks doesn't walk in a straight line forward he walks sideways or he walks backwards and what is he's like that we showed God the back of our necks so the astrological sign for the month of Thomas is the SAR Todd is the crab chadar cool a lake floor of his waves to walk backwards cockneys rock floor he turned around the house even hot Salah a balmy potters got hot and therefore we lost our saving grace so to speak could that normally would have come from the clinging the cleaning the interpolation with God and what happened on teaching off we had the sin of despise and when that day was created was born a character trait which we called see knock him out see not P na means baseless hatred hatred for each other hatred for Israel as it says listen to these verses in 26 seven deuteronomy 1:27 now this is going to be a really interesting psychological stable it says you murmured in your tenses Moses speaking because the Lord hates us he took us out of the land of Egypt I mean it's almost hard to say these words but this is what they said the the generation left Egypt said because the Lord hates us he took us out of land to me how could they psychologically think that God hates them you got to read that Rashi on that you read it it says like this Rashi says right there you know the psychological aspect what is in your own heart okay let me start from beginning they said because the Lord hates us but really the truth was God loves you you hate God now how can you say God hates me what's the psychological aspect because we've had this concept that says like this what is in your own heart about your friend you imagine him is in his heart about you so what does that mean that they thought God hated them because they hated God how do they hate God they were hating each other in other words if let's go through this now sounds like this Edgar Chavez so tell me so Rashi says what's in your heart about your friend is really what is in you you imagine that's what is in his heart about you meaning this is what they thought but after each one of them each one of them hated his friend so then most likely what would be the next step is so no time Dominic mah God must hate that they had the second problem they did not fulfill love your neighbour as yourself they hated each other that was born into the world this idea of synapsing on the closet's nature they hated each other and they can only imagine that their their their friend hates them right whatever you think you think is in the heart of your friend so that was that's the psychological basis so after they made this mistake by thinking that God hated them so to from and very natural aspect I was reading Hebrew in cave at night ever Indian my aides they should call it consciousness cavero so then they automatically thought that and each person hated each other and what was conceived a very painful place the tired sorrows ooh the tail a metre rasa that was conceived of this pain and was born this character this very bad character trait which actually caused the destruction of the first and second temple even the second temple we know but what about the first we usually say it's because of the three big sins idol worship murder and idolatry so listen to this the first temple was actually also destroyed because of the course was hatred but who is the answer between the leaders and whatever the leaders do it filters down so by you know by the end of the second temple it was already too late it already filtered down to everybody but we all know we all know there was a split the king the Northern Kingdom in the southern kingdom became split and that was the hatred amongst the princes the leaders the kings at the time so that's clear and the bites Jamie Pasha huh been corral that hatred then filtered down to the rest of the Jewish people just as like as brought down in the Gomorrah is it how you have a whole dish of this all took place in the month of off what's this what's the what is the zodiac sign for the month of love it's the lion it's the REA he called Akkad dim young acharya each one imagined himself like a lion Nix of litter abyss cavero to embarrass and to rip up his friend thus Eve the gum hot solid to eat then what happens is you're gonna lose the ability to be saved even on a natural level the it'd the supernatural level is the relationship you have with God what is on a regular natural level to be secure a nice person you have you stand a chance of some hope of surviving with friendly brotherhood assistance but no not when you have hatred then you think everyone hates you you hate everyone else and you lose even that natural thing team cave I have a name if you don't have a proper love amongst brothers in a hots I make the ideal of Aveiro nobody's gonna be there to assist his friend Mia kun Yaakov that this idea of Jacob if you look in almost seven two that Jacob is considered very small now that's not that's not necessary a large thing a good thing but here who shall rise with Yaakov through his small meaning he is all broken up and there is no love okay so now we're going to the next piece if thought comes out that between these two what's the were these two periods of time these borders so the whole package totally disintegrated it fell apart what package I am I talking about the love of God and the love of a friend Keith sorrow made her minish and because they were they left they removed themselves from the mountain the sorry Dom ich may I'll f off when they were left the mountain so to speak so not only did it leave Hashem but remember when they were there they were all one they were like one that says they were Johan Israel Israel singular fashion everywhere else that they encamped it was always plural but when they encamped at Mount Sinai it's singular and Rashi says they're like one man with one heart to Isha Kabul a bhai but once they departed it all unraveled when internship minister botamo is the teacher of gather me there together means that it comes out the 17th of Tammuz and 9th above there are the two borders the ain dara Flynn Tousignant needle small and there's no real ability or place to move to maneuver left or right therefore all who chase her will catch up to her overtake her vein hem it sorry but it says all although chaser what is it all inferred even those who chase you who are weak they have no strength whatsoever they even they can overtake you because we lost our ability to be saved either through god or through another human being on a natural level that we even the weakest of our enemies can overtake us keep his mod F HUD not to as good kadosh Israel because it was at one time it does one time we do the provocation right the perfect replication and then that is it's rail between doctors the a Bahama that once we lose that it's a desecration of the holiness of the Jewish people that all comes together because of the unity it's all about unity without unity with nothing bisman Shamy nausea for - Trina and even the second time the second that we move away backwards from the Shiina elmia neutralized room who is going to come in and assist us how can how emotion but talkin so that's why Moses says within this rebuke ruku key attempt only negatively Melo Moses is telling them you're standing between these two pillars between these two borders bein emits are mean the the straights meet sod Massacre oddly meets luminosity fell from the aspect of the building of the calf and the sending of the spies wicked aliens are some are to Shuba and in order to give them great mourning and strength and fervor passions words repentance that's what he said to them he said to them Dana main being power in a big hotel and if you don't do true that as massage of power and neutral and the sila girls then the action that you took at Parag which was the the despise it will be established for you as a crying for all generations keep up massive merits kedusha because you felt the Land of Israel was disgusting you didn't want you you would you didn't love the land you didn't want to go into land you didn't want to enter the land you prefer to stay outside the land it was not appeasing to you how can you Dean on the gulls there for a measure for measure you will be an exile because you didn't love the land the measure for measure punishment is you'll be taken out of the land and then you'll desire it gosh a man met gollu Leticia Bob we were actually eggs out on the ninth of our with a nice I show you some of the key out here but mischievous metabolism as a result of building the golden calf it caused the establishment or let's say the breaking of the city's walls on the 17th of Tammuz so baby oh baby between these two pillars between these two borders between these two dates year but Sudan Amish battalion we are crouched in judgment the IEF cult who you're nothing and even our weakest enemy can attack us on this time theory well the papers there and according to the next explanation we need to say that the word LaVon is a hint to what he's gonna this is the clay cart that that's talking about the mod what color was the mod the mana was white shall how to our mud shine LaVon my Rashi says by diesel half that hints to what that hits to the the children of God it moving that their money was more precious to them than their whole bodies than they had requested to stay on the other side of the Jordan okay and then he concludes by mentioning about another book that he wrote called eat marine ear the Berean they explained over there the rational outside eye redness does the Hitmen it says eleven days journey right from Karev so al-assad austere yo she miss oblem holla for Ben Ben hammock - dashana this is how does he say Hadas are you there are 11 days I haven't said the citizen a long time 11 AHA Rosario there are 11 days in which we mourn for the the destruction of the base Mukesh every year meaning the nine days of the month of our the 17th of Tammuz the Asura Bhishma tablet so that makes 11 you have the nine days of our 72 towers and the 10th of teloth so why because it is rock miss Sciuto kiss are you busy I'm a lush and been obeying cycle tears there with our shooter I don't know where he's going with that but that is the bottom line when he says here is when it says 11 days from sorrow it's a hint to the 11 days of the year that we that we are in of the loot in mourning over the loss of the temple so bottom line we see that not only can we see clearly what we did wrong through the hinting as the way a leader should give rebuked but we also realize what the tcode what the remedy is we must love God and that's the remedy of the sin of idol worship to rectify ourselves and in order to get the yarn scenically naam the causeless hatred that we have for each other we must pursue with all our ability we have to Iraq from oka - love your neighbors yourself and mr. Shem with we call habis Phenom with a senseless love with a love for no reason we will be over to overcome we will be able to overcome this senseless hatred and bring our Holy Redeemer the Mushaf soon in our days remember you may know and then of course all the 10 tribes all the 12 tribes will come back to the place where we belong that's Hertz or Al and we should see the rebuilding of the temple serving our needs [Music]
