hey good day folks welcome everybody to
our seventh lesson seventh installment
and beyond the seven live from Jerusalem
with Rabbi Aaron David Poston who I am
getting to know more and I so am
grateful that he takes this time to
teach us great lessons these lessons are
getting taking us a little bit further
than most I've been sharing with Benet
knoweth it's a joy to hear it come out
of Israel and out of Jerusalem
especially from a learner rabbi such as
him so without delay I'm just gonna jump
right in and see how Rabbi is doing
today
rabbi postin so good of you to step I
know it's like 11:30 p.m. there in
Jerusalem and you just hang in there and
stay up so that that you can share with
the rest of the world we thank you thank
you Dan and thank you for all the people
who joined us tonight I want to thank
you for for joining us what can I say
sugar Tov have a great week from from
Jerusalem for all those again who are
far east of us you've already made
Havdalah
a long time ago for those in Europe you
just made Havdalah like we did and for
all those in America welcome aboard and
for all those who are watching
afterwards we thank you also
so yeah I just wanted to I think take up
where we left off last week there was I
mentioned it may be controversial
apparently there are some some people
who have found what I mentioned the
rabbi's name who's been accused of being
a little bit off base rabbi manis
Friedman and I think it's I think it's a
big mistake that these people are
accusing him of teaching put it this way
when you take a clip just a small clip
and you try to make something look very
bad it's a big problem i loo just
explained we're gonna be reading tonight
a little bit from well a lot from the
Messiah Charlene where we left off the
very last statement was doing something
for God and I
mention you can't do anything for God
suzay a core principle Judaism so I'm
going to try to explain it I'm going to
try my best to explain it in in simple
terms I know this could be very
Kabbalistic there's a book called the
time you know if you can see it okay
this is the Bible of Chabad it's
basically all the Hasidim appreciate
this deep Kabbalistic work explaining
the way of God now there it seems to be
I'm going to use this it's called the
nefesh shyam it was put out around the
same time a little bit later after the
time you but the same generation and by
refine vulajin who is the star student
of the donig on that I'm gonna read a
something from it's called the the
scoring blog I'm gonna read a few
paragraphs from it because he really
explains that there's no difference
there's no difference what the seceding
did and I mentioned before I have
nothing against classy name and neither
does the ROM cow but there's a
difference between people who are
learning and have excelled let's say go
beyond had gone beyond the letter of the
law which is what the rum how explains
is the Meador the character train of
kasi dirt and so there's no difference
let's say the difference is between
let's say the leaders were well learn it
and some of the followers who may some
of them may not be as learned in and are
found just out of wrote and that could
be a problem we all agree in any in any
situation okay so we're done when they
oh so let me just show you this new
volumes these new translations it's
called the nefesh hot seemed tomb it's a
two volume series okay and this is a
this is where the the sparring blog is
based on this new book that came out
I don't know how new it I shouldn't say
it's that new but I could tell you when
it was put out in 2015
reason
but we're talking about it was written
250 years ago and let me start let me
let me just start a little bit going
back why we're doing this we but this is
called beyond the seven so beyond to me
introduces the idea of being a seed a
true cousin why because as the Rambam
begins to explain that all of mankind is
let's say must hear they're warned the
order they're supposed to be careful and
that is where the Mesilla see sure I'm
actually begins the death of the just
begins where you're careful and then he
brings these steps again just to
reiterate this is based on a Brice of
Ruby PIMCO's benya here on how to
eventually reach Ruocco - resurrection
of the dead okay if you can you have to
go back to the first six the first may
be the introductory of this beyond the
seven but since it starts the Rambam
starts off with so here you have to be
careful you were warned in the seven
eventually what he does say is that
someone who's accepted these laws
because of the the revelation at Mount
Sinai he's now called a hot seat so I
believe this isn't you know where I'm
going with this is that that the word
classy was not used lightly it's someone
who feels that they are again there's no
such thing as a new religion somebody
else's it's like some kind of new
religion new fad this goes way back we
could talk about Jethro perhaps before
he converted even if he converted he was
a righteous no hype of course we have
people before that even Ruth before she
converted she was known to be a
righteous person and she her number the
name of her name Ruth the value in the
gamma tree is 606 because she accepted
beyond the seven another 606 minces when
she converted but she was a righteous
Gentile keeping the seven before she
converted so Ruth is 600
+7 6 13 and she's known to be a
righteous Gentiles well before she
converted so the idea of hussy dude can
be written really misunderstood and that
is where the ROM Kyle in the Mozilla
shrine is basically as I left off last
week he says maybe we'll also talk about
it now
that I really want to go back too far
but he mentions that many pseudo
Hassidim that's the term he uses have
sullied the image of classy due to the
eyes of the masses even intelligent
people because they think that the whole
concept of Cassie dude is based on empty
ideas and trust me they're not it's the
deepest of meat and according to what
we'll understanding the nefesh a high
and the difference between the de Tanya
he basically according to this scoring
blog he himself did not go into many
sources okay whereas the nefesh time
actually did and the sources are and
we're gonna see tonight already back
from the Gemara
and and in the tour itself okay with
that said I hope we have some clarity
here and why we're doing this so this
chapter 18 in the mozilla showering
begins so that we're not in the
beginning but we're a little bit further
in where he mentions about these pseudo
Hassidim do not realize that although
some of the things are necessary for
penitence to achieve folk Toman and some
are appropriate measures for pay russia
now what's the difference peru Shamar
those become the Pharisees right they're
the ones that separate themselves
they're more concerned about not
violating the negative commandments and
that I hope by any many righteous
Gentile watching this is already fully
aware of what they are and is careful
not to violate them but also to fulfill
certain positive Commandments that would
be more like a closet or we're going to
discuss this let's keep reading so we
mentioned that the pérouse shame
they are the measures they take are in
order to distance themselves from sin
okay and and there's a comment here they
explains that sometimes it's appropriate
to deprive oneself somewhat in order to
uproot haughtiness so horniest or
something to stay away from one of the
ideas that we brought over many many
times is it's not seven specific laws
there are seven categories and many laws
underneath them and we spoke in the very
beginning about thirty laws one of them
I want to mention now just so we have
clarity they're not all negative
Commandments one of them in that list of
thirty was the positive commandment to
engage in the study of those parts of
the Torah that are relevant to the North
hikes how can the Noahide ever expect to
fulfill at least minimum ly the seven as
best they can before going on and trying
to do other mitzvahs right character
development is part of this being a
truly moral person at least when we
talked about the seven we're also saying
anything that is logical right and is
incumbent upon a a North High to fulfill
as well so dname that means setting up a
system of courts and justices you they
have to make up their own laws and they
have to be logical and and good for
society and so basically when we talk
about character development something to
stay away from would be a hardness and
any other will say disgusting behaviors
and we're seeing a lot of that
unfortunately in America right now I
don't want to get into it because it
really has absolutely nothing to do with
race but I'm about to talk about perhaps
the riots or the the protests are but
ice actually spoke about this to a
friend today what does it mean to be a
victim right let's say somebody feels
the victimhood it doesn't mean that
that's bad the question is what do you
do about it
right so I thought the Jews are a good
example we have used the
victim card but what has it done for us
what do we what do we do with it right
so we say never again okay we want to
educate other peoples not to be
anti-semitic right we do everything we
can to meet a cane to fix the world
around us we take this idea of the fact
that we were victims and we don't play
the victim card and say you owe us right
we are active participants in trying to
make the world a better place
so what could somebody use as a victim
card reparations right even when Germany
said we want to give you reparations we
said whoa not so fast not so they took a
lot of deliberation and government's
discussion of how to accept such a thing
so it's not as simple just to go out and
say we are the victims and we will
always be the victims and it's it
doesn't achieve anything in fact what I
see certain groups doing is they lower
the bar so much that they never they
never expect to get out of this
victimhood okay they want to remain
there and milk it for all it's God as a
when I see so many and I'll just make
sound political many conservative of
afro-americans who are really striving
you know whether it's the I think the I
don't know what the names I'm sorry but
somebody's in charge of the housing of
the United States government he was a
brain doctor right I think it's Carlson
or something like that anyway he made
something of himself
Candace Owens speaks about it in much
better terms than I ever could so I just
hope that people could open their minds
right to hear two sides and that's what
we're going to discuss as well today
hearing two sides between what we call
the Cassie beam and the MS nagi my gave
a very short synopsis in the last class
had there was a lot of tension it
started with the shabath heights V cults
movement and then the fear amongst
everyone else but at the same time there
was a lot of ignorant people and people
who
learning and the disparity of the
classes there was no question about it
and I believe that I see being saved
they really did I hope that everyone
who's watching understands where I'm
coming from they save jury and the
nefesh a high end seems like he came as
a response not that he was against class
evening he was against certain aspects
of class eating which we're going to
talk about tonight which is I'll call it
like an ignoramus cannot be a hussy okay
that's what it says in perky a vote
someone who and so for the seven the the
people who are keeping the laws of North
Hyde they should also understand I'm not
promoting even though the Rambam says
it's okay if you're already righteous to
take them on additional mitzvahs I'm not
promoting to take on additional missus
I'm promoting to really get the seven
concepts down well and go as deep and
you know as deep as possible make them
meaningful before you would even think
of let's say keeping kosher right like
how about the way I speak right what
comes out of your mouth
could be foreign or hide much more
important than what you put into your
mouth right however according to the
deepest Kabbalistic concepts within
Judaism that the the animals that are
kosher happen to be non aggressive
they're not current carnivorous they're
not the ones that go around and eat the
junk off the bottom of the ocean nor are
they like vultures that go around and
eat you know exactly these are more like
domesticated tame calm and you really
are what you eat okay so there are
lessons to be learned so someone wants
to work on their character it may help
them to decide to eat kosher animals but
really the work is not simply just
eating kosher animals and therefore
taming your your animal self but to work
on your character in a real
somatic way so as I met that underneath
the seven laws are these moral moral
objectives okay so going back into where
we left off sorry so basically the idea
of a rucious is to distance yourself
from sin nevertheless casitas is not
found founded upon these practices at
all rather the best of these practices
is worthy of complementing the practice
of kasi dude now let me just read that
comment casinos should for example be
accompanied by the recitation of
supplications as the ROM Howell
discusses in the next chapter but if a
seed ought to feel the pain of the
Jewish people let's just say for a non
Jew for all mankind and pray on their
behalf or pray for their behalf so this
is now talking about like positive
actions however the essence of kasi dude
itself is a very profound matter
requiring intensive study in order to
correctly understand it so you really
have to study it and you have to study
the whole Torah or at least the Torah
that is relevant to you it is founded
upon principles of immense wisdom and
upon the absolute refinement of one's
conduct the whole idea of missiles is
charring is about working on your
character and as such it is fitting for
everyone who is wise of heart to pursue
it so going back to something we
mentioned in previous classes that the
Rambam seems to classify two types of
Bnei north one who is just very I'm
gonna use the word wise I don't know
another term to use but very into it he
understands God from a purely you know
investigative matter manner he
understands it has to be creator
but he hasn't fully yet bought into the
idea of the revelation so he realizes
that these seven laws are good so he's
considered wise amongst the nations he
may be an atheist
I doubt it maybe he's agnostic at least
and maybe believes in the almighty but
he hasn't yet but bought the whole
picture that there is a revelation
there's a Torah and once someone accepts
that that I would call the Rambam calls
a Hassid and therefore he would also she
would also get not just blessing in this
world like the like the wise amongst the
nations but someone who goes beyond and
actually receives with the world to come
which is unbelievable kindness for
infinity okay so we already just
mentioned someone who has this wise
heart to pursue it for in fact only the
wise can truly attain it so we mentioned
her of cook there was a interesting idea
one of your listeners passed this on to
me and I spoke to someone who works in
the rough cook Institute is actually the
great-grandnephew of cook and the rough
cook seemed to imply from the Rambam
that the wise was the kava homer that he
of course he gets the world to come so
it sounded like at first reading perhaps
it's a totally different reading than
we've all read that it's the Hassid who
actually is a much higher level and the
wise is on a much lower level but what
he seems to say is that it's only
through thinking this is what God gave
you think nobody's trying to brainwash
you nobody's trying to just slip it
under the rug and just say believe like
some other religions we need you to
think what's logical and and so really
according to rabbi Dovid Cutrone it's
both the wood roof cook was saying was
you have to believe in God we have to
believe in the revelation but don't stop
thinking use your mind and that was what
roof cook was speaking about okay I
could be wrong and Cutrone could be
wrong but that is where we're at today
okay so this is the last statement on
that paragraph as the stage as the sages
of blessed memory same perky a vote
that's ethics of our fathers chapter 2
mission of 5lo Haaretz a scene that an
ignorant person
not be a hasin it cannot be a
practitioner of kasi dude so let me read
this comment this does not mean that
only one who has been blessed with
exceptional wisdom can hope to serve
Hashem with kasi dude actually anyone is
capable of attaining this level of
service keep in mind we're talking about
serving a shed as long as he sincerely
seeks wisdom and looks to be guided in
the way of classy dude by those wiser
than he and that is also why there's
there's really no problem with the non
Jew learning Torah from the Jews I don't
want to get into it now I spoke about it
before but if he goes on his own and
tries to figure it out he's like I don't
know as it's a hundred percent but he's
likely to misinterpret it not understand
not to come to a complete so one of the
questions that was asked you mentioned
through a a text someone asks aren't
there special leaders of the North Head
movement and there are there are very
learn did non-jews I mentioned a few of
them besides you read Peters name you
had humble guy and and then the tea
center rod Brian - Rueben Brian
besides that pretty much I'm gonna say
any rabbi who's teaching Torah right
there may be a few that may don't have
they don't have the sensitivity to speak
directly to Gentiles but any pretty much
pretty much I'm just saying it's not
absolute
pretty much any Torah scholar who's
going to teach about what the Taurus has
to say is a legitimate teacher but there
are going to be those who are much more
sensitive and will focus much more on
and let's say like like we're doing here
and other other people you have when
you're when you're broadcasting that are
more um I'm gonna say likeable right
maybe we're likeable but more accessible
and we are focusing a little bit more to
a non-jewish audience did I finish that
paragraph not so when the Mishnah
excludes an unlearned person from being
a cusine it
first to one who has not sought wisdom
and thinks he can attain a salute
without it okay so that is a very
important point I wonder if the rom-com
points this out now there is another
note okay I'm not sure where he points
it out but let's go on so what then is
authentic classy dude and he branches I
mentioned in the last class I'm gonna
talk about Agra more and broke out
seventeen a which we work to do now
and right after I read this paragraph
now we shall explain this matter in an
orderly fashion the route of kasi do is
encapsulated by what our sages and a
blessed memory said and this is what I
would find controversial a middle those
rabbis that are on rabbi manases case
robbery Friedman's case is this
statement at kazow in Bravo fortunate is
he who toils in the Torah and who brings
satisfaction to his creator
what kind of satisfaction but this is a
statement that needs deep analysis so
before I do that I just want to mention
when I brought those other books the
nefesh a time and the Tanya
why it's really not a problem this we're
muted
there's absolute truth that comes from
Hashem perspective but we're in this
world and then there's our perspective
now our perspective can very much be
wrong but it's not always wrong it's a
little bits of pieces of that absolute
truth
so this is where controversy enters
because the concept of simsim is how do
we view this infinite thing entity we
are finite how can a finite being ever
comprehend or begin to understand that
which is infinite so we have miss aura
we have tradition that tries to explain
it we can never really give satisfactory
to a Shem but that is seemingly what
we're supposed to do I'll just reiterate
what we left off last week a son relates
to his father his father is cold he's in
a room and yes it's probably a little
bit too cold so the father implies that
it's cold
so what is the son do the son has a
choice he could just give the father the
the remote control and say okay that
turneth eat skin huh you're cold
turn up T the Sun could turn up the heat
for him or you can go beyond and say I
understand what my father needs he's
cold
so not only am I gonna turn to heat but
then I'm going to get him a blanket and
then I'm going to serve him tea right
with a smile now that's called fussy do
because going beyond the letter of the
law you already know what the what God 1
so let's say the father the father
well you know already know what the
father wants and he doesn't even have to
say in a second time he doesn't have to
explicitly say more words pretty once
right yeah of course you would like the
blanket of course he would like a hot
cup of tea but all he asked you was well
it's a little cold in here
you and your own decided a few things
right so you want to give them the
shalat the the control or you want to
turn up the heat you want to satisfy him
so that is where we're at to discuss
this point is in the Gemara it's in
gomorrah bravo 17 8 and see we're not
gonna get to the swarm blog yet okay so
my Roger sheave always said there's
nothing you can do for a sham but yet
the round Colony was big on the rom-com
wouldn't need to explain this so when I
read the Gomorrah and I said wow this I
think this is really something that
would interest you guys because it's
about Joel Joel by the way if he existed
he was a non Jew who wrote the book of
Job Moses wrote the book of Job so if
you didn't come out learning anything
here at least you learned one thing
who wrote Joe
and according to some it was not even a
real figure he never existed but it was
a philosophical work that Moses wrote as
a result of his own question that he
asked God show me your glory when when
Moses says show me your glory what he
was really asking why do bad things
happen to good people why do good why do
bad people prosper why do good people
suffer you want to ask question ya rabbi
because I have heard a rabbi share
before that you know when you start
reading the book of Job and the
description of the lands and and all the
details that are in there that he was
partners with his friends that were part
of a conglomerate that was a distant
relationship to the family of Abraham I
think even it says there was a man who
lived it was at the Land of Oz and all
these connections have one rabbi I've
heard really brought it out that it was
an agreed group that agreed to look
after themselves as bad winds once did
tribal people and they would come to
each other's aid and they had an
understandable honorable group that was
between the time of Abraham and actually
Moses but the story was renowned and
Moses brought it together I heard to
share with the people while they were
still in Egypt is that true it's all
possible like I said there are different
opinions whether if he really existed he
existed from the time of Abraham through
till Noah till it I'm sorry till Moses
because the measure says that he was one
of the three one of the three advisors
to Pharaoh ok Pharaoh didn't know what
to do about the Jewish solution right of
the caller like in Germany Nazi Germany
a maximum that they had a final solution
for the Jewish problem so bilam the one
who says throw the baby males into the
river right - now river and kill them
and as measure for measure of course he
was killed in the end
the job let the sub ejector Jethro was
also one of the advisors and in protest
he ran away he felt this was unfair and
to protest openly will you what do you
say yeah it's you're describing your
death sentence so he protested in a way
that was certainly valid he he said no
I'm not for this and he ran away
and so that Jethro ends up what marrying
his daughter off to Moshe ok becoming a
righteous convert but his biggest I'm
not saying his biggest reward but his
own children his own great great
grandchildren sat on the same Hedren so
he's old measure for measure he was for
justice
he was into justice and as a result his
own children's have insane Ejim and what
a job do apparently the measure says
that he would remain silent he didn't
protest he didn't agree but as they say
sometimes that being silent is like like
agreement and as a result his punishment
was he was caused to scream out because
of his silence which was wrong so the
punishment was the you saw reme was the
extreme pains seeming punishment they
weren't punishment we'll see hopefully
surely there was issues that had to be
worked out over there with with jobs so
that's what I'm gonna go with tonight so
let me just go to the Gemara it mentions
about this particularly Gomorrah
discusses the different tongue Talmudic
sages what they would say when they
finish their Amida when they finished
their silence - right and prayer and
after that it brings a side statement of
what Rubio cannot would say whenever he
finished the book of Job so by the way
when we finish a whole mastectomy which
were 36 of them or finished an entire
book of the of the Torah of the Tanakh
and in the way the rebuking I did in
other words he studied every letter and
every word
and when deep he would make a big party
okay it's a big deal so he would mention
these words I'll just say it in English
although the Hebrew is very you know
what I'll say faux okay let me read it
in English first a person will
ultimately die and an atom will
ultimately be slaughtered and all are
destined to death now this sounds very
gruesome in and depressing we'll see
that it's not but rather happy is he who
grew up in Torah
whose labor is in Torah and these are
the words and who gives pleasure to his
creator
how can you give pleasure to your
Creator who grew up with a good name and
took leave of this world with a good
name and such a person lived his life
fully about him Solomon and said in
Ecclesiastes 7 1 a good name is better
than fine oil and the day of death is
better than the devil's birth
so basically listen Amara is talking
about good deeds your your your
fulfillment of midst --is or kind acts
which I mentioned from the very
beginning this is what you banette is
all about so accompanying all of our
tested projects we want people to learn
about s it and that's another reason why
I chose beyond the 7 because we're going
to find out the root of Hussey jute is
really about tested which I hope nobody
stones me for this it's about doing s it
fresh M Sam doesn't need anything from
you
yeah this is all about somehow
satisfying him doing it for you not for
yourself doing it for him what does he
mean okay I'm gonna get myself in
trouble but nobody can stall me this is
the Gemara
okay rabbi that's angelic if you know
it's really truly angelic I mean when
you think about doing Hesed deeds of
kindness acts of loving-kindness I mean
your being
an extension you know and and I just I
saw that when I when I researched your
your background before we ever
I just this guy's doing just kind work
that's all he's about thank you I
appreciate it well I hope that other
people will and just follow my lead
before I go into this I just want to
mention there's a well-known statement
about the tablets you have five
Commandments on each of the two tablets
that were given to us which we call the
Ten Commandments with ten statements so
it's well known that the first five have
to do with the connections the myths
looked between man and God and the
second set is between man and man now
you can look at them and see them but
you have to ask this question
rabbi Poston if that's true what are you
doing number five it's on the first set
of tablets right it was number six I got
it but it's number five honor your
father and your mother what does that
have to do with between me and God okay
if anybody has any questions but in the
meantime answers but let's say like this
I know there are people that have very
dysfunctional relationships with their
parents I get I understand but there's
like Rabbi Kaufman mentions there's no
test that you didn't get that you can't
handle you can get beyond it which kind
of relates a little bit back to these
riots right the beyond obviously
protesting is not only praiseworthy and
legal but it's the right okay we're not
talking about protesting okay we're
talking about horrible crimes being
committed so basically how do you relate
to a sham hopefully you had a father in
your house right I know this is a big
problem for in today's day and age some
people don't have a father in the house
where if they do some have two mothers
or two fathers I mean there's some real
issues going on but I don't want to even
go into but let's just say a lot of
people do have dysfunctional families
but the main idea is that hopefully we
realize
that our parents gave us life we have to
have an attitude of gratitude for
whatever they gave us hopefully it was a
warm environment with a roof over our
heads with delicious food you know but
it wasn't always right some people do
not have that comfort I got it okay the
earth this is what I call the Trinity in
Judaism the Holy Trinity in Judaism an
has three partners not God I want I want
everyone to understand that the name
Adam ad olive Dollard men okay is the
game a tree of 45 okay right Aleph is
one dialed is for man is 40 so you have
45 how is there three parts in man first
of all the woman the man gives when he
inseminates the senate it's called he's
giving over the white part and that goes
to our teeth and our bones and the
female is the red part and that goes to
the flesh and the the skin and the god
Hashem gives the spirit okay that's why
we have this Trinity now look at the
name man it's Adam is 45 the word mother
and father actually equals 44 so you
have off which is one Aleph and Beth
which is two which is three altogether
and then you have aim which is Olive men
which is 41 so 41 and three is 44 and
then you have the olive left over the
olive is one it's always referring to a
Shem so you have Adam Adam right you
have the full 45 but the idea that a
shed even the olive is a letter that's
made up of three other letters you have
a love on its side and then you have
these two yards per protruding out from
the top of the bottom so you're this 10
to yours that's 20 and the other six
God's youth hang and love and egg is the
hamachi of 26 so within all this
framework man so we have an attitude of
gratitude towards our human parent
right the physical life they gave us an
opportunity so we're grateful to them is
to show gratitude and that's part of the
idea of keeping out the aim but Hashem
with without the spear he gave us the
spirit and for that we're also grateful
for so why is this the fifth mitzvah of
honoring your father mother in the
category between you and God
because God gave us these human parents
so we can understand what it means that
parents that gratitude every time they
changed our diapers every time they they
gave us our lunchbox on the way to
school
every time they made sure that we did
early finished her homework which was
good for us right that we didn't eat too
much candy whatever would they tuck this
in a bed at night right they sacrificed
you know a parent sacrificed a
tremendous amount for his children for
their children so in with a mother could
just imagine nine months carrying it's
must be very uncomfortable
forget about painful at the end right
very so there's a lot of sacrifice that
the parents do for their children but we
that's we call the Holy Trinity in
Judaism that's three partners in man not
God
I guess somebody along the line got a
mistake somewhere but okay we're not
gonna go there okay why are we talking
about that so we always go off on these
tangents okay so the the Hebrews like
rebuking on kiha famous science a bird
that you whenever he drove joke around
with finished this book called job armor
hockey that's what he said
so Adam the moose the end of man is to
die which sounds very morbid so foolish
PETA the end of an animal is to be
slaughtered a colon ISA hey mom do hear
the words because we're gonna discuss
these words
well everybody both man and animal it's
for death they are standing on D ash
rainy should go to the Torah remember I
mentioned that job was not was a non Jew
everyone agrees with that if he existed
right he was a non Jew and when when so
this applies I think to every
buddy this is I think why I'm discussing
with you not just because of these words
specifically that we said that you're
going to give satisfaction to your
Creator which we're going to get to very
shortly but because it was also a non
Jew and in non Jew as I mentioned has an
obligation to engage in the study of
those parts of the Talmud that we sorry
of the Torah that relates to that the
North had lost so I shrink meet happier
fortunate is michiga D'Amato who's
growing who grew in Torah and the Armel
of matura and toiling in Torah the I say
novice roughly Osram and he makes or
creates something satisfactory it's
interesting knocketh Ruach to his
creator now I'm just mentioning this is
all coming down to my seem tow theme
it's all coming down to what we call
positive actions everyone agrees that's
what it's talking about the God though
be shame told and if you grow growing is
a it goes the stages if you're growing
with a positive name meaning what does
it mean to have a good name that people
appreciate you people like you nobody's
afraid to walk across the street when
you're coming down the street and greet
you it with open arms so to speak I know
today's coronavirus day we don't
nobody's hugging anybody but people are
affectionate warm right the NIF to be
shamed Taubman olam and when god forbid
or obviously it's a part of life when
someone passes on they still have with
that mischenko right it's only at the
end you really know if someone is true
right because they were nice in there or
good in their youth doesn't mean they're
gonna finalize their their term here on
earth with a good name but someone who
keeps it all along that's a good thing
and regarding that that's what King
Solomon said in Co Hellas Ecclesiastes
chapter 7 verse mourn toe Seamus chavin
toe a good name is better than good oil
the young I'm not this myoma Hill Vado
and the day of his death is
greater or better then the Davis birth
okay so again what we're really
concerned about is the actual source
right what does it mean to give pleasure
to your Creator now this is based on a
verse in numbers chapter 15 verse 7 so
this is regarding offerings but it's not
only here there's many places it talks
about this idea that you should bring a
satisfying aroma to a Shem what he needs
a he needs he needs our offerings he
needs our sacrifices of course not so
this is where the oral torah is so
kirtan and you have to understand what
is going on here now this is where I
wanted to bring in the this quote from
the sparring blood of the nefesh sahayam
so everyone understands that yes there
may be and there was almost like a civil
war to a certain extent in philosophy
between the early casillases religion
see don't say that okay these things
happen talking about the controversial
things okay
and there was some infighting okay there
was some harsh words said then and
hopefully by now those words are
unnecessary and this is where I want to
bring it to the point that a lot of
people have grown through this dark
period of Jewish history and I really
want to read these words because they
think it's really three paragraphs so
bear with this is the very end of this
sparring blog on this nefesh of high and
which I mentioned came out as from a
student of the donnagon time of illusion
and it seemed like it was going up
against the Bala Tanya the other book I
have this is the Bible of Habad of kasi
good okay it seems the wait to hear this
this is just the end after fully
absorbing the fact that the
philosophical out
in relation to the sim some concepts in
tune is a very Kabbalistic term that
what did a sham do who's all infinite to
be able to create this finite world
which is our dilemma how do we
understand - em the concept of the Vilna
Gaon comma the grip Higham comma the the
ball Tanya and the Hasidic world are
identical absolutely identical
the genius of rope Heinz presentation in
nefesh Shaheen can then be clearly seen
the Hasidic works of his day including
the same for about time to say for Tanya
barely quoted their sources in contrast
when Ryan presents his ideas in general
the concept of Simpson the particular
ideas which at the time were seen by
many to be uniquely Hasidic ideas right
as if I mentioned before some people
think it was like a new revelation no he
frames them in the context of extensive
quotations from and references to
traditional Jewish sources none of it's
new but bro Hashem it was said in a way
for the masses to be able to to get as
mentioned above he even uses many
similar expressions and sentences to
those appearing in the Hasidic works of
his day he is demonstrating that there's
no scope for anyone to suggest that
there's a fundamental difference between
the formal outlook of the Hasidic
movement and that of mainstream Judaism
and that the paths for serving God of
both the Hasina
and the miss Nadine that means the the
ones are against the casino in the
beginning are fundamentally the same and
a derived from the same Torah and the
same miss aura the same transmission all
the way back to Mount Sinai
therefore against the historic backdrop
of some who erroneously thought that the
new Hasidic movement had blazed a new
trail in Judaism and were using the
inspiring Hasidic presentation of these
concepts to compromise allaha now this
was one of the main concerns and perhaps
came to the more learning it was really
not necessary a concern but for the
masses who were already ignorant to
begin with and attach themselves to
raise themselves up good it could it
could lead to compromising Aloha Sourav
Hyams key message is there's no basis
for anyone to blend these concepts out
of their true concept context of
mainstream Judaism and as a result
there's no basis for them to license how
love did compromise in any way
whatsoever it's fascinating to note the
rapine was not alone in this quest to
highlight the potential pitfalls of
halakha compromise resulting from an
attempt to get closer to God he was
joined by some of the establishment
Hasidic figures who express themselves
in a very similar way furthermore it's
inconceivable it's not even possible to
think the leaders of the Pacific
movement such as the ballot anja which
is the one who wrote the Tanya would
have sanctioned any form of Halawa
compromise because after all he is the
author of the famous of court they are
the Shogun are of harav it's basically
it's a widely widely respected and
accepted halakha clerk it's basically
it's not the kids Ashoka Nara but it's a
condensed version of the great treatise
of reveals with Cairo called the show
Canara it made halakha except accessible
to every everybody and you know even did
not so learning so he was not and the
leaders were not interested at all in in
downgrading hahhaha the unders the last
paragraph
the underlying principle guiding refines
presentation in Nephi sahayam reflects
the position of this master the famous
donnagon that as the Kabbalah is an
intrinsic part of the Torah
it cannot be any it cannot be that
anything derived from it can prescribe
any action which contradicts were is
inconsistent with the Torah any
directive derived from the Kabbalah
which contravenes the Torah and I love
practice must therefore be myth a
misunderstanding of Kabbalah there's no
way that Kabbalah can go against the
halacha we're talking about ribs Shimon
bar Yohai you know the response who are
and all these other tonight sources
authors were the sources for all the
other in in Kabbalah and they're just in
addition the print this principle was
explicitly highlighted by some of the
Hasidic masters who were also clearly
objecting to the same phenomenon of
Halawa compromise on the periphery of
the Hasidic world there were high was it
be objective okay now I just want to
hang in there the last paragraphs about
six lines the outcome of all the above
is that because of her of hyams historic
motivation to write the Natasha Chaya he
has left us with a remarkable work a
motivational framework of how a person
is to view and still thoughts optically
interact with the world which
substantiates every statement and makes
bi-weekly threat referencing many
traditional Jewish sources in general
and Kabbalistic sources in particular as
a result this is just a you know a plug
for the book but it's really about the
book itself not just this new edition
itself is a unique gateway into a highly
unstructured world of Kabbalah is
tremendous portal through which a
genuine introduction to the world of
Kabbalah and his deeper meaning of the
Torah has been made accessible to one
and all this last line made the study of
nefesh Shekinah Andrew Hines Torah bring
a true conscious awareness of unity in
the Jewish world and this is what I'm
praying for because the the idea that r-
Friedman is somehow off is like a
ridiculous comment of course if you just
listen to one minute you would take it
up context like here if I tell you
listen we're gonna make God happy we're
gonna
do things to make God happy it sounds
ridiculous so when I put it in context
they were talking about from our view
not from the absolute truth there's
nothing you can do to change or improve
God but it's all about you and what you
can do to improve yourself because
that's what your life is really all
about and with that introduction I want
to go into a few of the ideas in the
commentary on this particular Gemara now
I hope that people understand that I use
the text a lot and I don't know where to
start I want to talk about the been
yellowed I see I'm already close to an
hour I really want to do to get ben
yehuda first it's interesting much time
as you need rabbi okay it's so
interesting that you mentioned that job
being perhaps at the time of Abraham
because the Daniel duh I told you is a
great Kabbalistic sage from Iraq the
Jewish sage 150 years ago he's going to
tell us about reincarnation and that job
in his previous lifetime was Abraham's
father Terah who worshiped idols and in
this world when he lived in this world
he was purely righteous but he had to
pay for his past deeds okay so let's
begin to read a little bit if that's
interesting to anybody
let's hear so the baby of that quotes
the Gomorrah that says whenever yolk
ravioli not finished the the book of Job
he would read he would say these words
so this is how he always begins near
least via the Seattle - Maya with God's
help I will explain the reason for the
words that rebuking on uses after saying
after reading and learning joke because
it's well known that job was a complete
he was really great psychic he was
really a great righteous person but he
was he
received these asourian very difficult
ones because of what they call Gil guru
Xiang because of the previous life Shu
gilgul tarik he was a reincarnation of
Terra who worshiped idols therefore on
account of his soul that it's the same
souls Tara this is why he received these
these truths tribulations these trials
and tribulations now I won't explain and
I don't want to go there okay anyway so
he quotes the Ben your dark clothes the
al-sheikh on a verse a chapter in job 32
verse 2 and mentioning mention Lucas his
wrath flared up against job for judging
himself more righteous than God and his
wrath flared up against his three
friends because they had not found the
proper response and had condemned job
remember if you read I suggest everyone
read it with commentary with Jewish
commentary that job was experiencing
death of family members loss of such
amount of wealth and what else are his
friends going to think but you make a
fresh Bonin efforts you have to take an
accounting of your soul and figure out
what you did wrong I mean this is really
what Moses himself asked from God why do
good people suffer right and you don't
always come and say in the vineyard odds
gonna say this you don't always say well
you because you're a sinner it's not
always the case and in state in fact we
know this was not the case with Joe and
now in chapter 42 verses 16 and 17 after
this job lived this is the very end the
last two verses job lived 140 years now
if he was a sinner he would have died
much earlier he would have also died it
completely what's the word impoverished
but he not only gained everything back
he even had more family than he had
earlier everything was replayed it says
he lived 140 years and he saw his
children's children to the fourth
generation four generations so he lived
a long life
then job died and old and satisfied this
is gonna be the Hebrew words wanna see
old and satisfied in Hebrew it says of
Cain
the sub Vega young mean so they is the
same word but using satisfying Hashem
he's satisfied with years okay so they
clearly Creek are the benyard that
continues and he says that dykey return
although Marsh in the gooferz should be
giggles there they met who hired Sadiq
the googles that the truth is that yes
he had been totally righteous he really
was totally righteous in this world and
you can learn from this you mother Adam
bina the man should use his noggin is
the ability to understand that if he
sees somebody with a very difficult life
very difficult it seems like a
punishment you know what if he's inside
the gum war he shouldn't think he's a
completely righteous person he shouldn't
think that he's violating any of the
character traits right but rather he
should think it's actually placed the
reason for all the suffering is on a
previous previous life now I said I
didn't want to speak about it but I did
I kind of want to fill the idea of fill
in some ideas where there's two verses
that seem to contradict each other one
verse says that person will not die on
account of his father sins another verse
implies that a person will be held
accountable for his father's sins you
know I I don't have the verses in front
of me
but we will take this up next and fourth
generation
and yeah and there Ezekiel then talks
about the sins being on yeah on super on
the person themselves
so these Kabbalists the vineyard dot
specifically many other people explain
that this is not talking about a
father-son relationship first of all
let's start like this if you know in the
simple shot it is right that it's you
what's the difference one is where you
continue in the footsteps of your father
then you will be held accountable
because Hashem is patient right a Shem
doesn't take out his anger on the father
because he's hoping expecting that the
person does true ver then the next
generation continues in the father's
footsteps of acting no I'm not just Lee
so then he will be held accountable and
he'll face carrying the father's
punishment as well
media will be punished more severely
than if it was just him because he had
an opportunity that's one idea
so the other one is that what about the
one who is doesn't suffer that's because
he does not continue in his father's
footsteps so that would be the clear way
to understand the contradiction it's not
a contradiction at all but on a more
Kabbalistic level the way the Benny are
done or the Kabbalists explained we're
not talking at a father-son relationship
we're talking about my previous life my
soul's considered my father the life I'm
living now is considered the son so
again the same idea am i following in
the same footsteps as I did in my
previous life right if I am then I will
be punished and if I don't that means I
have secured a path that will not be
punished because I've gotten out of that
bad track Ezekiel says the soul that
sins shall die yes so here so the so to
with job so remember it says what Rob
York and I would say the end of man so
what is he really saying at the end he
says everything all both man and animal
are destined for death didn't earth
say that the end of man is death and
then it goes back and read after that
said that the animal is for slaughtering
and then it says everyone is destined
for death means like this is what he
means that even those who already dead
they're going to experience another
death once they are um Dean um demons
standing again that they will come to a
new incarnation in order to fix whatever
took place in their past and they will
die a second time that's what it means
by saying in the beginning so father
mummy the mood the end of man is to die
and everybody all are standing to die
why didn't need to be said twice so then
he says another reason because at the
very end of job which we just read in
chapter 42 verse 17 that he was as a
cane the sylvania mean she was an old
man so I want you to look also this was
spoken about these same words pretty
much are used by Abraham where they have
it here somewhere
yes in Genesis 25 8 I just came finding
my source for it but I'm pretty sure
that's where it is yeah
would you like me to read it and just
want to make sure it's really what I
said it was it is Genesis 25 8 you go
ahead yeah and Abraham expired and died
in a good old age an old man full of
years and was gathered to his people
okay so basically the translation I had
not read the Hebrew and abiram expired
and died a good age a good old age
mature and content so in Hebrew it's the
saber tava sup came to severe the same
words used by Joe zof Cain the severe so
there you mean but okay
to find my place again here we are well
it doesn't say y'all me actually no I'm
sorry
it says yummy no what is y'all mean it
means day so the the benya dasa
shouldn't have said salvation I mean why
does it say why does he use the word day
does everyone with us he wants to say
like this and and my students know this
because even though they're not Jewish
many of my students many my sons are
Jewish but the ones who are the Benina
they say modani in the morning they've
accepted upon themselves to say I'm
grateful to a sham for returning my soul
every morning unbelievable so what is it
that we experience on a daily basis we
experience a part of death when we go to
sleep there's a little bit of death so
he says why does it say so there you
mean a satisfactory of days well you
know we would just interpret that as
life for years but he doesn't use the
word years he uses the word things we're
talking about motion of the wrote this
or you know the Tanakh I saying you know
other than Co y'all the young yesh lach
I'm kinda sheet every single day a
person has a new life we are born again
every single day if neots mom each day
is a day is a whole new life on its own
because every single night when we go to
sleep a part of our soul leaves from us
from within us and we are considered
dead and then we come back and we were
given life every single morning that's
why we make another breath in the
morning at the right marks your initial
most of Gary may seem that God returns
the soul to the dead corpses okay we say
that every morning does we actually feel
that way so every single day we're
giving a new chance so it's not just
whenever I spoke about earlier about
incarnations but every single day we
have a new more incarnation and we
should really feel that way because not
every
wakes up in the morning we should be
feel like extremely extremely grateful
well that's that that is truly living
though rabbi what you're saying truly
living yeah and he says visa if you're
Misbah hi other that's why the real
counting of the life of man it's
thinning to divide them into days not
ears that's why it says so they're yummy
and he was satisfied in these days okay
so there's a really good stuff I don't
even know where to go there's just too
much I want to you know the truth is I
can continue I can go continue a little
bit now and then we continue this start
off next week with it
I'll just continue to much good stuff
and I know that there was never enough
time to do it all but it's just too
delicious to skip over so I'm gonna
complete well tom tom is taste and we're
discussing the the taste of the tour the
zest some of the Barabbas see this is
why he placed his words when he finished
with Tom but rub Jochen on when he
finished the book of Job because we just
said he was sad right in the book itself
in the safer of job it says he was so
there you mean he was satisfied in his
days self a dump the moose that he says
the end of man is to die so and then he
says if that's the case then why would
he say I Colin Lisa um Dean that
everything is standing to die you
already said it so he you've worked
yourself in a corner I think yeah
because there's too much here so far
than the moose mr. Ikari charlyk bought
like a bird the truth is the end of man
is the main death the prime death is to
go into the into the into the tomb
besides the me seeker eat because I'm
sure La Mesa dying
aside from this prime death all of his
life shallow ma to a dying he didn't die
but rather when he was sleeping Lamesa
Shoshana
hey mom Dean it's the Mesa it's the
death of every single night you go to
sleep
that is what we're you're destined for
now he says even the word Adam if you
take the letters I'll live Dollard men
and you take the letter that's right
after it so right after Aleph is a bet
after a dollar is a hay and after the
members are none so he says that's Bohen
now I'm not really sure where he's going
this because he says it relates to death
but Bowen is the big thumb on the what
he called the thumb or the one the toe
now the thumb is called gödel I just
want to explain something about when we
say the Sh'ma okay when we say the Shema
we take our hand then we put it over our
eyes these four fingers that we're
saying God is one were unifying God
these four fingers are gonna have to
actually represent the 70 nations
there's four prime kingdoms right that's
we call it Babylon Persia Greece and
Rome they're all going in one direction
the Jew is the godo the great one and
they're going in an opposite direction
that everyone else
okay so we're unifying a Shem we're just
remembering that but this is called the
godo the godõs the great one and that
represents the Jew going in different
directions as a verse that says that the
Jewish people are a nation that dwells
alone so the Jewish people are alone
we're not really with the 70 nations
okay in the direction they're going in
so the word Bohan is the big toe or the
big thumb and he says I'm not really
sure understanding completely but he
relates us to a meddra somehow the word
Bohan relates to death so he says that's
actually hinted in the word man itself
as we just said the second letter is
called
Oh Co shield so the letter that comes
right after it is this Bohen fine so he
says how's it hinted in man because we
just said ashram Misha guide the Bottari
happy is the one who's gold L batura
who's growing into a great in Torah as
if to say lemundo be tourists of they've
lo agra doula it's the it's the learning
of the Torah which is the cause for him
to become great so you've heard me
already Express how you could be Jewish
I think we discussed that right Jewish
so even my non-jewish students same mode
that I mean now even the word modani is
saying I'm a Jew I am admitting I am
Modell from the word Yehuda it's the
same root because you can be a non Jew
but affiliate so much with the Jewish
clause of the Jewish mission of the
Jewish nation and still not be part of
the Israelite nation itself to
conversion but through taking the Torah
which we call the Torah of Israel right
and the God of Israel upon yourself you
are basically Jew ish you accepted me
the mouthfuls of lovin right the Mushaf
is coming through
Yehuda okay we discussed that and not
only that the impose their loan it's got
a blown it rush elbow one would not
become horny nor Nick sorry no
negligence in this but rather he these
are the key words Oh Dan knew I said
knock you up leo throat but rather you
would what you would do and you try to
bring satisfaction to your Creator again
what does that mean knock not you up
what is not that's rough it's
interesting novice is like some kind of
satisfaction
ruoff is a spirit some kind of
satisfactory spirit and he says he is a
cutter Ahmet Tajin Barua
because involving yourself in Torah
fixes your spirit whatever that means
your soul right
even the so itself when God gave Adam he
breathed into him he gave him this rule
but guess what the the the the targum
oculus translates into Aramaic this
breath of life that God gave in terms
called the speaking spirit what we do at
or is something we speak when when you
read it you say it out loud okay and you
put it into practice of course but
anyway
anyone who involves themselves in Torah
and we already said they non-jew who's
already a Ben Noah it's a mitzvah to at
least involve yourself in the seven for
sure and if you go I'll call up beyond
whatever that means
take them on a vertical meaning go deep
into the seven he can become like a lady
as we said and he's like the kadosh
kadosh e mama SH holy of holies such a
Sadiq such a righteous person who's
giving himself over like King David to
to gods keeping and God will take care
of him
the god of a shame to all the Nifty be
shame to-- so he constantly is growing
in a good name and he leaves this world
eventually with a good name so then
there's this gomorrah and gomorrah suka
53 a in in the temple time we had the
elders did the really old ones trust me
would dance and sing in front of
everybody during Sukkot they had such a
festivity the whole world would come and
watch these old guys juggling and I
don't know flame throwers and juggling
with fire and doing somersaults and they
would while they were singing this is
what they would say happy is our youth
as we did not sin then that did not
embarrass our old age those are
considered the faceting those are the
pious ones who spent their entire lives
in Torah and mitzvot but some would say
happy is our old age maybe these are not
necessarily the people that were
righteous their whole life happy is our
old age that atones for I can read what
I wrote here
for something when we had since bright I
think for our youth
these are penitent so these are people
who are like Bali Chula people who who
were not always religious and that
became religious both of the head spoke
ranks but both happy he who did not sin
and and he who did sin should repent and
God will absolve him and forgive him so
whether you were in the past life or
this life all you have to do is worry
about what you can do now everything's
gonna be fine people my son my students
asked me how do I know what my past life
lunch shouldn't I try to find out what
it was so that I could work on that
particular area I said first of all
they'll come to you because anything do
you passed anything that you succeeded
in conquering God will not test you
again the things that you're faced with
are those things that you have not yet
passed that's number one number two if
you're really hounding them you really
want to know ask yourself this question
when you were young and you saw
something your parents did that hurt you
you just set yourself when I grow up I'm
not gonna I'm not going to act like that
that's the last thing it's so
embarassing it's so wrong you just
internally knew is wrong it's probably
close to the target of what you probably
need to work on this is what I tell my
students it asks me okay now I think
that most of these other commentaries
it's so key I think that we should leave
them for the next time okay I think it's
very important because I don't want to
go too fast and I know we only have a
few minutes so and you see if I had left
anything we just make sure in them a
seal to Shara and we left off in a good
place as well we didn't get very far
well you know we took you brought a
train home though and around - I mean
the reality of going to sleep at night
is death and then what
making up and just living a new day
every day walking properly and you
brought things out that I think are
useful deep well when we go into this
whole thing of Nassim toting this D you
know the good acts this is what life is
all about that's where we'll pick up
next week because this is really what
beyond the seven is all about you know
when you hear about Demian you know so
many of your listeners have asked me you
know what about all those laws I mean
being honest in business this is this is
the question that a Jew is supposed to
be asked when he goes to heaven I have
no doubt that these are the kind of
questions that are gonna be asked of the
non Jew as well the first question were
asked were you honest in business so
what kind of business matters you know
did you you've had some fine print in
the contract that you hope that the guy
wouldn't read I mean is that being
honest to business I mean that happens
all the time I'm sure I mean as a buyer
as a client happens to me so those
people they know they put it in the
contract and they didn't point it out so
I don't think that's considered being
honest in business I know you can get
away with in court because look it's
they're black and white we told them to
read it we even gave them take home but
you know these things are not going to
get you to heaven and it's not going to
give you a good life and it's not going
to give you a shame toe the idea here
that that job right in the it's this
idea not in cleese es T's I should say
because Joe died with a good name that
was the whole point he died with a good
name but in Co helis in Co helis it was
chapter 7 verse 1 right what do we say a
good name is better than fine oil and
the day of death than a day of one's
birth so look we're trying to live I I
encourage anybody who didn't read the
kuzuri to read the kuzuri
this was the king of the castle right
nation who couldn't sleep he was in a
dilemma I
know which of the religions is going to
give me the path to not to heaven to a
moral I believe in God he said I want to
know how I have to act in business in my
everyday routine okay that's what he was
looking for so hopefully this is where
most of our listeners are at I know that
we're dealing with custards we're
dealing with some Kabbalistic ideas but
we're grounded in the masala - Shari in
the trait of Hesse duked and hopefully
we'll understand what it means to be a
seed they mo Salaam to truly understand
that it's more important what comes out
of your mouth than what you put into
your mouth okay so I know that some guy
said that 2000 years ago but it comes
from us it's sin
okay so this is especially relevant to
our righteous and holy Gentile brother
in that are looking to grow and it's
about guide of attire have a meatless
Patera
at least toil and grow in that Torah
that was given to you okay that's for
starters
and then the whole world's yours okay so
with that pass everything back to you
rabbi rabbi yeah as far as the kuzuri
you know I did a series two years ago
now with Rabbi Goldberg on that robe
behind Goldberg we did eight parts just
going through the first book and you
know I've already set something up I'm
hoping and I showed it to him and I hope
he's gonna he might just do it with a
new class on the book kuzuri especially
on the first the first book of the it's
just such beautiful work I appreciate
you bringing up that we do have a
question here because since you started
this class somebody from California has
been following along they bought the
book Mesilla CEA's showroom and they
just wanted to ask a question is there
anything not relevant in the book to a
non Jew I mean because this is
somebody's trying to take their walk
serious and learn and grow and nobody
wants to jump into something they're not
supposed to but I know it's a wonderful
class I've even I sat into it with the
rabbi Michaels go back I've heard some
of his lessons on a beautiful beautiful
things that come out
but is there anything that is not
relevant to a non-jew in there that they
should stay away or avoid I think if
there's anything that's not relevant to
non-jew become obvious but I could be
wrong
anytime it says because it's written for
Jews that's what's written for all
mankind you know there's only gone when
he never met the rom-com but he was so
interested he said he would he would
have given up everything just to meet
the man just face to face it's all meant
until the gone it was like the greatest
he would have he really held the the the
long ago that this is the answer from
mankind right when you talk about
character trait focusing on character
traits focusing on what the Torah the
Torah has to say about mankind if you're
looking at it from that angle then just
know that this is for you and potential
right are you obligated those things
which you can do to improve your
character I would simply say if queer is
you're obligated right if it's something
to do with some highfalutin idea that
relates just the juice it'll become
obvious okay but if it's anything that
we you know it's gonna talk to you
I can't her scope was part of God right
and you're gonna Intuit what is for me
and my can change my character and I
think you'll be amazed that maybe 99% of
the book will be applicable to you as
and I'm selectable I think that's clear
I hope that helps answer that question
you know I've thrown a little note out
there if anybody's got any questions now
is the time to put them in the chat box
on YouTube or Facebook we're gonna try
and wind it down I know that it's late
in Israel you're 1:00 in the morning
there but we do appreciate you preparing
this we do appreciate you sharing with
us let's see
yeah somebody's really appreciating the
round calls material I think today was
such a beautiful lesson that it's it's
reviewable for me even yeah you had me
smiling today rabbi there's just some
there was life there there was you know
even talking about death that you
mentioned I mean it just it just as live
this message today I think just says
live and you know so many people have
hopes and dreams and aspirations in the
in the world to come that some of them
just think of like when we think of
phony religions they have a hereafter or
they have it they have a vision of
heaven that is so heavenly minded its of
no earthly good and they start to check
out and they start to get into think
things and imaginations and that's
really more bent on drives and desires
and what you've talked about today has
to do with it character who you really
are and I think the beauty of the book
you're discussing shows us how we can be
of earthly good and and of usefulness
here and actually be happy and
god-honoring but like you said how can
we how can we when we're dealing with
with hashem how can we actually be of
real any use I mean you know to truly be
humble but I also love how you brought
around this question today about menís
Freeman rabbi Freeman because everything
I've ever listened to from him just
seems to drip wisdom and I yet you know
I'm familiar with the the the debater of
the points that came out and you know
founded said anybody sorry
anybody can make a mistake but you
approached the first and you say you're
making a mistake right and he was told
that in I'm no certain son under certain
terms all his classes have no sources
and all of a sudden he was very
responsive and he made a class on all
his sources right
and I watch that that video and they're
all valid sources right
maybe it's an interpretation maybe it's
a slight nuance but it's a very diff
it's a very difficult topic to discuss
we will continue to discuss half because
that's what classy dude is it's this
attitude how am I going to please my
father in heaven
it's the most ridiculous thing he
doesn't need anything from us but it's
our attitude down here that is not going
to affect him one bit it's just the way
we have to look at it and know that
ultimately it has nothing to do with him
and has to do with us it's the way as I
mentioned before there's this concept
called midsi domed seed a new that
there's an aspect coming from him and
that's called absolute we call it truth
and that's meet seed uh from his aspect
but we live in this world and we have
Mitzy Daniel from our perspective and
from so it's a it's a it's a type type
type walk type walk it's whatever
it's like Tigra it's it's not an easy
topic to discuss and I give him a lot of
credit for making every attempt you know
and I think that if anybody believes
that he's making a mistake instead of
calling him evil call him on his mistake
period asking nurse nurses an error
error problem with the source of the way
he's interpreting the resource and is he
the only one you have the LaBarbara
Rebbe you have other great Hasidic
rebels who maybe interpret the same way
so your problems not with manis Friedman
your problem is with Hussey dudes and
what can I tell you I think that Wow Rav
I need you more than ever before we're
all in the same team we're all on the
same team working for the same boss so
where does this sin fighting it's not
helpful what's helpful is proper rebuke
out of love and being effective right
there's no effectiveness here
okay maybe right maybe they did they
said something and he brought out all
the sources
now what's the next step hey they should
apologize and say okay we see your
sources we don't agree with them but at
least you have valid sources something
like that or now we accept your sources
whatever it is I have no idea but anyway
you virtual right rabbi your word your
word coming out of Jerusalem you know to
us you know to me is solvent enough to
say that hey there's a lot more behind
the scenes and as Benigno Aquino with
the kovat they've got they've got that
you know riots going on in the US all
over the place
we don't easily be confused with the
differences in slight opinions and
differences between rabbis against
rabbis but heaven forbid we ever say
that a rabbis a heretic I think that
it's stepping out of out of bounds
unless I can back it up now rabbi now I
have personally I spent 25 years working
with magnetic anomalies okay most people
have no clue what they are or what
they're useful for or what wouldn't but
when it comes to my research on it I'll
stand toe-to-toe against any university
professor on the planet when it comes to
proving that the global flood happened
just the way Taurus said it did I have
no difficulty validating it and showing
them right where their entire plate
tectonic model is incorrect I will do
that and I will back it up a hundred
percent and I have no difficulty saying
that but when it comes to saying a
rabbis a heretic I could never heaven
forbid I ever say a legitimate rabbi
with shreeka with that's in the chain
all the way back to Moses remain of is
is ever a heretic heaven forbid that
should ever happen that's not my place
to say that and if rabbis have
differences of opinion as you're saying
on nuances of what is the majority and
what is not I'm not gonna yeah condemned
ever condemn a rabbi on that so yeah I
just I just feel yeah you're just want a
lot of clarification and support for
rabbi Friedman here today and I've never
heard the man ever
say anything that was not wise that's my
opinion so I want to thank ed Sheeran
ever okay I just went ahead one more
thing cuz I did the share I gave
Thursday night I gave the class Thursday
night I believe it's for the love of God
I joined the Jewish people yes Rose
mentioned in the parsha of a but not by
name by the name of hvala because he
loved the Torah he overlooked as Lisa's
Moshe was concerned that he was going to
see all the infighting amongst the Jews
and then be scared away but it was his
love for Torah and he trusted the miss
hora right but he saw that the Jews were
rebelling against God we're told meet in
the desert they were they had mock
locusts amongst themselves but they
mainly were they rebelled against God
and Moses was afraid because he saw that
remember he was a priest of other
religions he's probably seen at all and
now he sees the truth and he's a little
bit overwhelmed by the infighting or the
rebelling against God and Moses is
basically convincing him to stick around
because we need you ready for this that
we need the convert I'm not trying to
convince anybody to convert I'm talking
about what Moses says to Jethro that we
need you to set the bar we need you to
help unify us we need you the muzaka the
robbing to increase our merits and
therefore whatever we offered you in the
beginning and you said no we're going
offer you a second time the blessing
that God gives us he's giving us
blessing because of you setting the bar
higher we get a blessing and we're
willing to share that blessing with you
this is what Moses says when when when
Jethro whoa Bob says no I'm not going
I'm going on my way I suggest people
listen to the recording you go to the
u-bahn net youtube channel why I do and
eh and look for or maybe have to type it
in what did I say it's called I forgot
what's called something about
for the safe oh gosh I love for the food
stuff for the love of God for the love
of God I joined the Jewish people okay
and enjoy it
awesome rabbi I want to thank you you
know what you're sharing you know I've
heard so often that before Hashem
brought the Torah to the nation of
Israel that he had offered it to the
seventy nations and nobody wanted it as
the the day's get closer may our hearts
be changed on that matter and may those
of the seventy nations be open to hear
the light of Torah and we thank you we
thank you for sharing it with us so
folks we got a lot more coming next week
you heard rabbi rabbi say he's got big
chunks he's gonna put aside till next
week for lesson a so we hope you can
join us so hopefully same time next week
Hashem willing we'll be sharing part
eight so till then have a lovely lovely
week
