listening to the weekly partial podcast
with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with
Russians never-ending assistance in
Ramat Beit Shemesh Israel 5780 2020 this
week's purchase purchase bow and before
I begin I just want to mention first of
all my daughter Hadassah is right here
by two and a half year old and she is
playing very very nicely and quietly on
the floor so you may hear some
background noise number two I have a
brand new album that I'm working on very
important powerful messages spiritual
messages of be talk on of trust in the
Shem of coming close to Hashem and you
can be part of this helped me out so
important I appreciate all those who
have already contributed Ari Gold Wacom
/ new album and it's a tremendous help
and it's tremendously important at this
time because music it's very easy to get
it for very cheap or for free and
there's not a lot coming in so I need
the help of all of you to be able to
continue to make the music okay that
being said let's talk some dear a Torah
this week's first should we have the
attachments crying we have the Jews are
about to leave Egypt and what is the
foundational concept of it's useless
rhyme so I'd like to share with you a
beautiful piece summertime Friedlander
the idea has to do with Emunah has to do
with faith in Hashem believe in Hashem
the idea of bît-yakin of trust in a sham
Bo Habakkuk when Madonna
Arcas Saturday Manasa is here the Gemara
in moccasin of Abdallah brings a passage
which teaches us that Habakkuk he came
he was a prophet and he came and he said
that if we wanted to quantify bring the
entire Tyra show show us what is the
message of the entire time what are we
trying to get at were we trying to lead
where as I'm trying to lead us with the
commandments so the answer is Emunah
it's to get us to a level of faith in
Hashem trust in a Shem belief and
confidence in the fact that he wants
only our best but there is Harry Shannon
says reclaim freely under then anew in
the previous generations come mitsuhisa
hello Xavier Sodom Ashley knows all the
commandments each individual
Commandments had the ability to bring up
person to a certain level of completion
oh no my chiid Erakovic miss module of
ovaries but as i'm kavit who came along
so the hearts of people had become
lessened waha vaca crab meat as homicide
carries via a demolish lemon Shyam Oona
what is it that is the essential Mitzvah
which when we work on that Mitzvah so
then we have the ability to find what it
is or reach the level that a sham wishes
firm from us it's focusing on a moon
it's focusing on our faith in Hashem in
our belief that he does everything for
our good ok this is very interesting
very powerful we're gonna see what he
says but I also want to point out every
single day we have a mitzvah of zooty
receipts here sometime of remembering
the exodus from Egypt so it is something
which is essential something that
happened 3300 years ago it's a long time
ago and yet it's something that speaks
to us today every single day why why is
it something I speak to us and it's so
important to us because it means that
Hashem first of all cares about us cares
about the Jewish people on a national
level
once the save the Jewish people wants to
redeem the Jewish people from their
difficulties when they are suffering but
also because obviously there's a message
and every everything that the term asks
us to do so there is asking us to to
remember it's you some story every day
it means that there's a personal message
to me every single time I read about
you'd see a cemetery I mention you see
us mitzraim when we make kiddush from
Friday night we mention you'd see
estimates trying the the exodus from
Egypt because it means that there's
something personal to me when it comes
to the idea of your time which is that
Hashem once my good the challenges and
difficulties of the Jewish people
endured in their time in Egypt was so
that they could have a Redemption and
they could have an amazing revelation of
Akhilesh work with God and it's the same
thing for each individual person that's
the message of it see as much time it's
a message of a Munna the importance of
belief of faith and confidence be Tejon
that Hashem is doing everything that he
does for us all of the things that we go
through in our lives are ultimately for
our good okay so that's so important
omona he mitzvot Sedaris
so sublime Freelander emunah faith is a
constant mitzvah there's an obligation
for us to believe all the time unless
Mama's similar fever it's not like other
mitzvahs for example lulav Ezra building
a Sukkah lining of Hanukkah menorah
these have a certain specific time when
we do them not so when it comes to moon
I'm gonna something which we need to
have all the time leave us out on like I
am I still hold a guy there's an
obligation every moment to believe that
faith in Hashem that God is doing only
for our good but I rock chef shellac
i'ma tell your baby i'ma Bible I'll all
he make harvest autumn lift the ice
Thomas for atomic it's not just that a
person has the ability it's possible to
have a nice you know an optimistic
attitude that's not what this Mitzvah is
this mitzvahs an obligation on us to
have a positive attitude and to believe
that Shem to know and to believe that
Shem is doing for our good Brian
admission yellow damask official immuno
mommy Buscemi's were from a nomicon
clevis Minnesota do
it would seem sometimes redundant of a
person has the proper outlook an outlook
of a muna of faith so he believes that
God is there he believed that there is a
God in the world so then he's always
fulfilling the commandment
I'm the mask officer muna lyrical -
kafra chemise morro rock proper minster
Simoni says seeing that hashem is
involved in my life
that's one detail on the mitzvah of em
oh no Sheamus hey Munna Nishikawa having
a perfected level of Emunah having you
know fulfilling his command properly
it's not just about having an outlook
having a positive outlook believing
looking for Shem in our lives it's
deeper than that
Munna heinola Yamuna it means and what
it means that we live with a Munna what
does that mean should call erikak I'm
who mooshed us are you guys - the
dearest music - diri the entire
foundation our lives
needs to be a constant awareness and a
constant strengthening within our cells
of a Munna and living that way living
based on it taking action based on our
Emunah I heard recently that if a person
wants to work on B talk
there different ways to do it I've
discussed it in the past mention you
know you can hook him you speak about
you you remind yourself during the day
but another way which I also mentioned I
believe it's a gift to duck I heard this
from a certain shear give to Dhaka when
I keep sadaqa what holds me back from
giving charity I think you know like
this money huh I don't know how I'm
gonna pay for my own food I'm to give
away my money to the to charity
to a poor person but the Tyrell wants us
to indeed show that we believe - Shem is
the one who provides our sustenance if I
give to duck it doesn't take away from
me all the way around I'm gonna end up
with more because I become a conduit for
blessings to come into the world I
become a conduit to bring blessing to
somebody else so the sadaqa that I give
the charity that I give and the bringing
me more money actually experience this
yesterday my show was doing a
crowdfunding to raise 1.6 million
shekels we raised over 1.8 million in
order to build a brand new building for
our shul and it was very it was really
amazing yesterday I got I hadn't gotten
too many contributors over the past few
days to my own crowdfunding but all of a
sudden there was like I mean I did a few
things with a I'm selfish and put the
ideas in my head but all of a sudden I
was involved in the crowdfunding for my
shul I was trying to help I had a
positive energy there was an optimism
there was a sense of be tahun she was
gonna help us with our shul and all of a
sudden I felt like it spilled over into
my own crowdfunding a whole bunch of
people some people some people who I
contacted previously some people who are
contacted yesterday gave to my
crowdfunding when a person when a person
is involved in sadaqa so the the
blessings come through him that was my
experience yesterday true story

that is he barley they beat the

his Emunah his faith in Hashem a field
of a master shell arts use who cries a
chemise birth with two deras even if a
person is in a material circumstance
here we are living in this world where
spiritual being having a physical
experience right
so here we are constantly thinking about
Hashem constantly thinking about a moon
and currently thinking about
spirituality Kaku mughelli divita Hashem
that's how a person reaches a confidence
in Hashem let's come I see you Sharma
say time person fall I'm always
following I like to see the numbers I
want to see how many views my videos are
having I want to see how how you know

shekel provides for me exactly what I
need

being aware of it by costly thinking
about it because like talking about it
that's how we develop you talkin if I
see that sham is always taken care of me
is always taking care of me for 40 years
the shamans taking care of me every
single day of my life
provides for me provides for my children
provides for my family so then as we
watch that occur it strengthens us as we
constantly think that's Komatsu be
sharma say type by thinking about this
but being aware of this but then what
happens the posix says that a question

mullah in the world as it was in
previous generations I'm Ravis clock
review so he says Alban and other
machine momentum acoustical what is the
idea of an shamone which really means
faithful people it means these are the
people who it's referring service talk

because of Rashi Rashi says an amazing
thing Lavater my minam llinois hid their
Mitzvah
the person had the ability to spend
extra money on something which what's
the difference how nice my missus is

more expensive a little bit cheaper

more expensive Esther it's a duck I have
to give away all my money to charity
what why is a person think that way a
person needs to be willing to give up
his money to perform Commandments in a
beautiful way well it stuck it to give
charity well lets us it's a Shabbos we
might even spend money on Shabbos spend
money on yontiff on the festivals that's
where a she now recline says Rashi must
be sure a moon at sweet spot is Meissen
Rashi is telling us that our a moon our
faith it needs to translate into action
needs to translating to change the way
that we do things
just sign come on of tava subha who are
JC kumamon person needs to depend on our
Shems guarantee action promises if you
are ser because I was a savage feel
shitty sigh share we're gonna see that
here when you give my sir when you give
a tenth of your income to charity sham
promises I will give you that money back
you'll get rich
you'll get more so in order to do that I
need to have faith I need to believe you
know shams promise
and that means they need to take a
chance oh boy - au Curbishley Xie deform
a lihue the who shall AFC do we find out
there are three cases three instances
three mitzvahs that there's a promise
that we will not lose out if we perform
them properly Commission America's L hey
there mr. ashesh
house I'll say you're allowed to spend
up to a third of your income or actually
I don't want to say a third of your
income
I just wish until a third I'm not sure
exactly what that means it's a good
morning but become enough tests check it
out you'll have to spend up to a third
it could be of the value of the thing

person has the ability to spend this

verse about successful Noonan abyss ice
you can test me in this Rakesh MC focus
this is a sham
laughter ha chemist Aruba ashram I'm
you're gonna see I'm gonna open up the
windows of heaven Mary cozy La Cumbre ha
believe that I'm gonna pour out
blessings upon you ok Nam ro como se
llama consume life cuts me it's a
travesty empty we find that hashem when
he makes a zero makes his decree on a
person for the entire year how much he's
supposed to have how much he's supposed
to you know what's his part us gonna
look like what's his lovely are gonna
look like but it doesn't include what he
spends on Shabbos and yontiff whenever
he spends on the festivals on the
Sabbath
that's not in the Hegeman so there's a
promise here what have you spend on
those things you don't lose out so
that's the idea here so it has to
translate into action now he says
partially UCS material same beta safer
la Munna you wonder what's the school
where we learn about a moon about faith
in Hashem this is it this is the parshas
we're in those pressures yet CSM it's
time the exodus from egypt crucial
nemurum but Deborah reshawna Nishioka
hard to see come here this time
says to us we read it 10 commandments
the first of the ten commands that the
most foundational concept I am a senior
God I took you out of Egypt I'm gonna
wash em shoe 80s cinema experts rhyme we
constantly come back to that idea that
Shem took us out of Egypt we believe in
with full faith with full Emunah that
shun cares about us he sees our
suffering he takes us out of that
suffering can attack Arabic all in DNA
it's useless trying because when we
recognize that our sham is was involved
and not involved he was the one who
oversaw the exodus through that zexal
Nagila carb Ruben I came across this
these these stories on a read about
these occurrences from 3,300 years ago
they're not old stories they're fresh to
us they're real to us because they're
personal they get into our guts because
they make a difference that's because
they're true for us personally every
single one of us that's what brings us
by remembering it's his return by
remembering our personal Exodus by
remembering our personal salvation this
room is done for us by remembering the
the national salvation did for us in
those times and is doing us need in our
times as well amazing times were living
in amazing times of national salvation
that reminds us how Shem is our God some
cares about us on a national level of
Shem cares about us on a personal level
because the nation is only made up it's
the total of the sum of its parts but
all of those individuals are part of who
are shem cares about the shrim cares
about each and every one of us when she
Kosovar ram ban the rom ban writes at
the end of our parsha well hey America
Subin wife's in Lemont a turkey neshama
carts each time it says in a verse
Hashem wants that why did he always
miracles why'd he make these plagues I
want you to know that I wash em in the
midst of the earth it's not like a Shem
just created the earth and then you know
you know let it roll on its own know why
Shem is personally involved in
everything that goes on in this world
with a honey mask across their practice
we need to believe in His divine
divine providence for every single
individual was ethical ha ha you could
have sharma ha anyway let me show you
this with all our hearts this is how we
fulfill we have to believe in Hashem we
have to know that he sees everything he
cares about every single action that we
take every single thing that I do he's
watching me not a negative since he
cares about me he cares about me and yes
I have a responsibility as well because
of that to do what's right
because Hashem cares he cares about me I
have a relationship with him it's a
dynamic relationship never relationship
with with a spouse with a child there is
a give-and-take it matters what I do and
matters how I treat them if I if I
expect to have respect for my children I
need to treat them with a sermon in a
certain way I need to have a certain
respect for them as well it's obviously
guide them and sometimes I need to be a
firm parent but there needs to be a it's
there's a give-and-take and it's true in
my relationship with a Shem Lahav Adil
my relationship with God I need to have
a respect for him knowing that he cares
about me knowing that he's involved in
my life personally I also have to as a
result of that act differently I have to
be him I have to be more cognizant of
his of his presence
I mean I'll call dr. Busch and leave a
hiker close he sees every single thing
that a person does he recognizes what's
inside of a person's heart Misha and
Amanda shouts to see for mrs. tribe
often official confinement if you don't
believe that sham took us out of Egypt
if I don't believe that a sham took me
out of America brought me to Eric's
Easter L so to speak my own personal
gula whatever it is my own personal
Redemption if I don't believe that so I
don't believe that he's really he's
really the God who's in charge of the
entire world means that you could have
shown it's not a complete unification of
a Shem gazelle Schoology Soraka I mean
this is the unique thing that the Jewish
people have it's our advantage over all
the other nations of the world and
perhaps we could say that they need to
learn from us and we need to be a light
into those nations Zayas cetera Kula
that we record this is the foundation of
the entire Torah we recognize the
shemin's personally involved in our
lives
she was personally involved in our
national lives she was personally
involved in everything that we do he
cares about what we do and he cares that
we six
Roberta's Alba kava-kava me Donna
Salomon oh so you're here he causes
PASOK as well that the entire purpose of
the Tyria is to get us to a place of a
moon of faith of belief in God and not
just belief as we said but it has to
express itself in our actions are
actually need to change because of our
belief because of our faith that's all
for today I want to bless you I ask you
to bless me some should help us to look
for and see our personal redemptions and
remember of course the national
redemptions of the Jewish people
both 3,300 years ago until current times
amazing redemption that we're seeing the
return of the Jewish people to the Land
of Israel the amazing things that are
going on in the world today with all
that's going on with a recognition
that's being given to the Jewish people
within the land of Israel so amazing to
see amazing to see we need to recognize
that a Shem is personally involved
through his divine providence moving all
the pieces of it on the chessboard into
their place shem should help us to
recognize that to see that to take it to
heart and that it should it should
translate for us into different actions
based on our true faith and confidence
in a Shem thank you so much for
