For Source Sheets: https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/2497 This class on Parshas Balak, presented in Mayan Yisroel Flatbush, presents different interpretations to the poetic words of Bilam "How lovely are your tents, O Jacob!

they tell the story about a shoe was a
year the ankle who would snore meet
their shoppers for Shabbat they were
rapping and start talking this drew was
full of sleep and not just fall asleep
but he would snore and snore loudly one
day the gap becomes overt in the middle
of the drawer she slices Yankee ankle

and then there's a most of the discus a
number two that there was a Yid who was
also snoring loud during a rush the
Gabby goes over to him and says I am was
to talk to no avail even louder the
rabbi calls over the Gumby and says go
wake him up he says never the Mozilla
you put him to sleep you wake him up why
do I share these anecdotes with you I
want to take today one Posse one parsec
from Paris
Bullock Apothic that the Jewish people
loved so deeply that 365 days a year
we begin every chakras we begin every
morning with this pasta stated by the
Navi bilham namely matoi vu Isle si
Yaakov Michigan I thought he is wrong
but look if you look at the context of
his words
posix says empirical download pasiphae's
byyee Sibylla Maceda by RAC social
conservative at the heel of rua kala
Kimmy lifts up his eyes he sees the
Jewish people are dwelling according to
their tribes he experiences a spirit of
Hashem and he begins his prose and what
does he say my toy of oil sa Yaakov much
getting something so how good how good
Li are your tents Yaakov Mishka nicer
your dwelling places you saw everybody
knows there's a Mishnah based on this
plastic second to the last mission in
Beirut Casco Sabaton Bubba Basra DAF
sama of mandalas so the Mishna says
Allah Allah my sir and I quote the
Mishnah well you've stuck Adam cuts I
look hot sir - passes can I get Pesa a
hollowing can- a loin a person may not
open up to a courtyard that's shared by
other partners adore paralleling another
door or window paralleling another
window flag the Gemara and mean on
amélie why not
what's the source - on it's a possum
what's the posit ye Sabine llama say 'no
why are you so shameless part of my raw
what did he see Rasha npc am makovan in
Zelizer
omar ruin a lucia tisha a lame
Sheena what he saw was that the doors of
their tents were not open to each other
so the flap the opening of each tent was
removed from the other tents and they
don't see into each other's tents and
this somehow overtook Balaam and
impressed him and inspired even this
legendary anti-semite to say I know you
should tea shall am seen about the L of
ruin look him and he stalls it and he
says my toy aisle fa yakun southeast all
as a she also brings down in humus where
she says I am sure a non women
z Musa
I want to touch on this pasa camshaft
literal Passat based on Ashley based on
the gomorian Baba Vasudev sama and then
explore for insights into the very same
PASOK and meaning of the PASOK by the
earliest sages of casa de s-- the Baal
Shem Tov the magnet of miss rich AB
nachman of breslov Talmud move ik and
transcriber Arab notion of restless and
a grandson of the Baal Shem Tov Rab aura
of measure bush and try to apply to our
lives living a few centuries later after
these Toyotas were set first on the most
basic level the most basic level what
the Gemara is saying the shock and the
mission of what tribulation and brings
out what Rashi says what I'm a foreign
point out is that a man like Balaam who
did not have extra love for the Jewish
people was moved by a simple fact and
that is the component of modesty the
component of privacy NP stay in makovan
and Zelizer he take a look at the tense
or less Yaakov as the rush bomb explains
there that Maxima Israel had a
definition of Caesarea schuiteman and
therefore they could not have their
tents open to each other and that's what
the mission of means above a Basra and
he was deeply impressed by the fact that
people what we call today in English
minded their own business I didn't look
into your tent
you didn't look into my tent why was
bilham impressed because it is a basic
human component it's a natural human
instinct to uh to I once told a story so
somebody in the crowd says ray Jacobs
everyday without names who was it it's a
natural tendency
no you know uh stood sit by dinner hey
do you know what's happening in the
other person's tent and those boundaries
healthy boundaries and borders
overwhelmed even a man like below that
in all the in all the tyrannous we spoke
last night
Rubick at saris and all the mixtures and
in all the gossip and all the
conversations and in all the human
interests there were certain borders
people appreciated borders because its
borders which actually allow for better
relationships when you know the
boundaries here is where I end here is
where you begin you have respect for me
I have respect for you and it's
something that often societies lose
focus
somebody wants that one so of art that
in Hebrew the two words nori and llaha
care are intimately associated luxury
means an alien nake are stranger mahaki
means to recognize because the more you
actually know somebody the more you
realize that there's a part of them that
remains unknown to you the less you know
somebody you might think you can get to
know everything and you can control
everything the more you know somebody
intimately the more you appreciate that
there's certain parts that actually are
really none of your business
they remain off-limits to you and this
is true even within 1/10 certainly a
husband and a wife etc family and even
children and parents there is where
where one and there is where we're
different and when we're different and
we retain that distinction it allows us
to be one when we have to be one the
girliest wrong once said them is not the
madhavi's I invite vitamin vitamin
design knowledge awesome you were close
when you had to be distant so when you
have to be close you become distant
because it's the distance as the
boundaries that allows the unity to be
wholesome
not to ultimately be be distracted and
disturbed and destroyed by the fact that
there was a violation of identity so
Balaam is extremely impressed
he's extremely moved perhaps if we may
add Rosh ain't pissed and muscle one
ands ambles that doesn't only mean I
don't look into your tent I don't see
what's happening in your tent I respect
that privacy as you respect my privacy
it also means something psychological
and that is often people look into other
people's tents to decide what should be
in their tent I go to your son's Bar
Mitzvah and based on that I decide I'll
have to make my bar mitzvah
I see the fastener and based on that I
have to do my consonant I see what you
have in your house and Kohl's man I
don't have exactly the same kitchen I
don't have my little cousin nefesh I
don't have my notice I goof I don't have
day I don't have night I define myself
and my tents based on what's happening
in your tent you know there's a vert
unless Aksumite I'm sorry I said dipper
is it says don't crave don't covet so
what should lay sacrament so the Russian
there is for some point out that it
seems strange at first glance because he
says Lusaka don't covet a Kshatriya huh
your friend's wife I've Dave on my sofa
surely become weary his servant is
maidservant his bull and his ox so today
it would be equivalent his BMW his
Toyota his three summer homes his
private jet
that's sure to ever come you know this
car is plain the coil a chalet Apple and
anything that belongs to your friend so
them a foursome same amount of truth if
the puck is already saying with Cola
shell Oriakhi so why do you have to
specify a Kshatriya I'm also shade
overcoming
should say low sound with coil a shallow
Janka do not covet whatever belongs to
your friend if you want to specify
items so then why can
with vocalist Eliyahu so specify more
items or stop right here but there's an
inconsistency so it's brought in swaram
how can you person a fulfill a sacrament
how can the person fulfill a sacrament
look at the other person's home and then
I look at my own home and I say rock
monoliths long I look at the other
person's dress and look at my own I say
I covered I look at this I look at that
place that's where there's a natural
feeling
we sat with ASUS we have their monster
should ever come here but fart he has so
much more than I would like then I then
I and I would love to have it stop us it
ends
before you start coveting somebody
else's life first think about
correlation LaRocca everything that your
friend has another to ask yourself do
you really want that other person's life
it's easy to pluck out one rose from his
garden but life is a package deal every
person has their blessings and their
challenges every person has their
virtues and their vices every person has
their ally it's easy to say I wish I can
have this aspect of this person do you
know what's going on in his mind do you
know what's going on in his soul you
know take into consideration everything
you want his entire life or her entire
life so Ross I ain't be stayin
McClellan's ambles there you know there
the anecdote they say that there was uh
there was a salesperson always on the
road smoker was mama shmita dick well
halfway then they figured out what he
does he had a trick every single home he
would go to
he would ring the bell and the woman
would come and open the door the man
would come open the door and he would
tell her do you see with your neighbor
mrs. Cohen has and this was the
introduction little did she realize this
was the trick and once he said that
whatever he had to sell in happened to
be that punk that's what mrs. Cohen had
she ultimately bought our younger man
came to me not long ago it just
illustrates often the way people's minds
work and it's really sad he had to make
an option is for his son so he said he
needs seven thousand dollars to make an
option he doesn't have seven thousand
dollars what should he do so I say be
Mozilla McCoy come what do you need
seven thousand dollars for an option he
said he has to rent the whole there's
flowers caterer somebody has to be on a
keyboard a photographer a video Agra fer
not everybody is as kind as our friend
ivy via summer a side dish of will guard
you so we may lay it's a seven thousand
dollars so I said can I ask a Shila
stump I want to ask a Shila stump
what's the Shila stump I say why don't
you ask one of the tools if you could do
it in the show why don't you go to the
bagel store and buy a few platters of
bagels and some dips why don't you
invite close family and close friends
who really want to come to your simcha
we're not gonna sit there and text the
whole time they really want to
participate and according to my estimate
it should cost you not more than two
hundred and twenty-five dollars and I'll
give you a whole hour for that from
seven thousand he says no a canvass I
said my bility above that I think it was
out of service a few years ago it cost
me forty five dollars by the amount of
people who showed a better floors a few
reps so he says you're not practical
because what am i what are people going
to think
oh there's a conga lost an archive of
thousands of dollars to be able to make
an option - for people who couldn't kill
us if they come when they don't come but
they'll be able to eat and walk out and
say that was a meal so Russia is saying
money is an attitude and that is lots of
stress would be eliminated from people's
lives if they would not define their
status their identity their priorities
based on peeking into somebody else's
tent and based on that my tent has to be
the fun this is I think all still pretty
consistent with traditional maker I
shall have now let's jump many
generations and see how some of the
great sages of her Siddhas interpreted
this pasta and this my Mikasa I'm gonna
begin with the interpretation of the
magician Margot the magnetism is rich
was the successor of the Baal Shem Tov
we saw Baal Shem Tov the founder of Casa
de space the way who is talk of coffe
1760 tough cough cough so tough race
coughed of shin Hoff was 200 years from
250 years ago he was succeeded by his
student for one year by his son ripped

says it's a true tsavorite saga vote it
could be on a pasta it could be on a
Seohyun sass I'm Indian and shots I love
it Zelly makeup is a matter of course
it's tell me if it's somebody have
coming you know they're not going to
agree one guy says his food I don't mean
this little bit somebody once asked a
little humor is there any humor and
Dominique any human that yet a lot of
humor is weird just tell me this I come
in my room solemn boy I'm Irish olive
oil and that's the humor your end of
inning on a humorous note same a it's
just a joke sorry macaws pollution is a
maybe not a joke deserve me Katyusha so
one person says you say the subtract
shot you got it all wrong they say why
is to Jews meat so you say Shalom
Aleichem Sholem Aleichem I say to you
good morning you don't say morning good
good morning good morning good evening
good evening you don't say evening but
how are you you are how right it seems
strange but two jews meet Shalom
Aleichem peace onthe you say unto you
peace unless some song so I once heard
this myself from the Lubavitch erever
who said that when two Jews means he
said out there even before I continue
the conversation immediately you have to
say you got it all wrong it's the exact
opposite it's not Shalom Aleichem it's a
alaikum Salaam and now we can begin
talking now we can begin supposing
so this time as a class we shall
discover namely Cantor now here there
could be two types of intentions if

let's now go to a second interpretation
this one is in Lakota a locus in

Baal Shem Tov the hillock Arab national

let's go now to the Peters of Roberto of
measure Bush now I didn't find it on the
I didn't find it today on the internet
to be able to put it in here so I'll
tell you about that what your vertical
of I still have to look maybe I can add
it to the sources on the on the web when
it goes up the buttock of measure Bush
also grandson of the Baal Shem Tov
quotes my macaws out because I'll say
peacefully the posture says it shall
share him coiled I did a fake peacefully
a high seriously I now see some oz my
beloved one knocks on the door and says
open up the door my sister my wife my
dove my twin
so has I'll say America is burrow home
peacefully kazoo dish on my Hut
open up for me an opening who does shall
market there are two gears is actually
in Madras one is kid who does so market
and one is COO - Alma hunt either who -
Oh market is the hole at the edge of the
needle through which we pull the thread
or who died so market is the the point
of the needle which is of course smaller
so peacefully conclude I shall market
you create an opening as large as
scooter so mark Advani after some
discussion alone the whole arm the part
of the mace I mean is called ohm
actually didn't have door was open and
that's the point you open up a tiny
small opening to me bunny after some
capisco bush my toy royal si yeah
Commission I ain't payin with one ins a
connect Itza
the Pesa that the jus creates and the
passive that Hashem reciprocates with
the doors don't parallel each other it's
not that he reciprocates in kind
I open a wide door he opens a why do I
open my heart large to you you open your
heart large - you ain't biscayne muscle
onions are connected sir
optimistically kudos oh my god you open
a tiny door you create a tiny dent in
your heart and you solve on the FM
capisco you shall Ullom and I will
create a completely different opening
shall lay bare infinitely beyond the
opening of your door this is how the
butter of measurables tightens their
Emma's in these words now come to the
peerage of the baal shem tov sometime
asks the obvious question there is a
redundancy my toy Royal FA Yaakov
Michigan a something is wrong oh you're
left on Myshkin osaka seem to be
identical how goodly are your tents how
great are your dwelling places a tent
isn't dwelling place and dwelling places
a tent what's the difference and why buy
the first one does he say the name
Yaakov and why buy the second one does
he say the name he's wrong what's the
matter boy LSA Yaakov Myshkin a settler
you sir
so the baal shem tov presents the
following beautiful interpretation and
says as follows o yell and michigan
sometimes they can be synonymous but if
we translate them literally
oh hell represents usually a temporary
tent you go out camping you pitch a tent
that's an oil of course there's a
difference between an oil Kivar you know
the Shabbos
you know I am Simon Chantal of oil to
build on IRA isn't it so they're
abundant
you can therefore expand the mile RA on
Shabbos if you're already at least one
Tefo but the word oil generally we pitch
a tent it represents a temporary
structure michigan Isetta a dwelling
place although you can create a
temporary in fact the Michigan is called
a Michigan but the word dwelling place
means a place where you dwell a Michigan
Visconti a place where you are so oil is
the temporary one and Michigan a circle
represents more of
there are two types of Jews as the
Muslims and Balaam is addressing both of
them
there's the Jew who creates an eye hell
Myshkin a sucker
there is the Jew who creates a permanent
dwelling place for Hashem here is a Jew
who is epiphany with Hashem never ends
his sense of intimacy a sense of
celebration of Eliquis never ceases he's
always inspired
he's always motivated he tells our son I
want to move in with you in one tent I
want to be with you I want to dwell with
you permanently you and me are roommates
Elam vod's Myshkin I saw his excitement
his motivation for our voices Hashem
never wanes day in and day out i Nene
raceless ambitious tiny he wakes up in
the morning and he's ready to run with
his God Myshkin Osaka he constructs a
home and he invites her Shem into that
home and he lives with God when he's
driving and when he's working and when
he's eating and when he's sleeping and
when he's tending to his Darvin here
when he's talking to people he is filled
with a divine consciousness with a
realization of a Shem and a connection
Tasha and it fills him it fills her 24
hours a day because his dwelling place
where he invites the sheen official
hunty beside him is permanent he never
leaves that space of a certainty beside
that's one type of June but there's
another type of truth about some to
serves and this is the oil ha ha ha Jew
he creates not a Michigan fresh ham but
he creates a temporary oil this is a Jew
who can't say that he's always
consistent in his relationship there's
life's pressures psychological and
financial there are the burdens of life
there are various
that people have in habits and
addictions and proclivities that can
derail them from their spiritual source
there is the incessant demands they are
the pressures of life in one form or
another and there are times that its
consciousness is divorced from an open
revealed conscious relationship with
Hashem but still from time to time
oh yeah Lakha he creates a temporary
tent and he says I need you for five
minutes I need you for an hour come be
with me we're going to learn about the
Gemara I need you I want to dive in now
just give me five minutes
oh yeah let's go Alessa these moments a
fleeting moment maybe an hour maybe a
half an hour maybe five minutes maybe 60
seconds he creates a temporary tent he
says I said let's be together now I want
you I need you I want to embrace you I
want to give you a hug he demolishes the
tent next now I have an appointment and
I got a run what are the two names
Yaakov and you sir oh they represent
these two types of Jews Yaakov
comes from the word akin which means a
heel you sir all is a combination of two
words Lee Royce my head HF is the lowest
part Russia's the highest part the name
Yaakov was given to Yaakov because he
was holding on to the heel of Asaph the
yard though it has a cave Asaph who
gives a child such a name imagine your
child comes out holding on to the heel
of his brother so you name him he'll I
mean forgive me what would a therapist
say when he grows up and says what's
your name my name is he'll really why
your parents named you a Kim heel
because when I was born I was holding on
to my brother's here it's not even your
heel you're holding on to your brother's
a wall there's an issue here the other
houses Pacus butt shot is this was not
stahma name it captures so much of the
life of the person the other a fezzes
bike a visa
he's amassed entangled in a battle in a
battle with ace it's a beautiful voice
you sure human parshas told us asks the
big question the great question it took
wants to bless a so dis agrees or does
she do she dresses up go
give your father food behave as though
you were his brother your brother a
savants take the blessing and he does so
alike my father will realize and he'll
curse me they may so like Lola I like
myself and when you took finds out by
yet other Lamesa
a number of here I want to ask you a
question
why couldn't risk it behave like every
good Jewish wife from the beginning of
time till today your husband makes a
decision you know he's wrong so what do
you do you start dressing up people you
call him mini you say I have to talk to
you
he knows it's trouble I have to talk to
you for three minutes
he knows ok what did I do now you know
that comes like a seven-year-old going
to the principal's office he has this
sheepish look you know that sheepish
look when your wife calls you come
upstairs for two minutes and he goes as
you know he's ready to be expelled from
your Shiva and he's thinking you know
what was what now how do we get out of
this one and she does good Jewish wife
she says you're out for lunch you
detached you have a columnist at home
you don't know what's happening this is
not the way it's gonna be done rift
castor calling you to can say to me it's
Kaka listen you're a good at holy Jew
but you don't know your son Asaph he's a
low-life in fact it just happened one
generation ago of Rome wants Edgar
assess all Missouri's lavash Bahamas a
symphony music what did I shall tell him
coilette America Irish mob Accola
eleventh commandment of that Sarah
sadness what every sorrow tells you
listen and note the words whatever she
says not just this smile Pacoima
when Laird when Russell decided that
Leia has to marry Akkad not not not her
so she did what she did
why couldn't if could : you'd suck and
tell him the truth what's wrong
why deceive your husband this way okay
this is the great question that one of
the great questions they do share in
says I might add to cavort and parshas
told us some what he says he says it's
rifki was the matriarch of the jewish
people and she knew that these broca's
these blessings are you - Mahalo ke
Matala Sammamish monoliths are the
blessing that will define the unique
destiny of the Jewish people for
eternity but it's significant new one
thing she knew the generations from now
there will be two types of Jews there
will be yokoi's who will be dressed like
Yakko but she knew there will also be
archives who will be dressed like ASA
they will look like
ASA they will speak they will feel like
and the question was will they be part
of this broth will they be part of this
covenant she could have taken Yaakov and
dressed him up like Yaakov and said go
get the broker but then who would the
brother be reserved for it would be
reserved for the archives
who look like Yakov rifka in her
foresight wanted to accomplish something
more and that is even the Yak life who
on the outside he looks like a sub but
on the inside he or she is still Yaakov
they are also part of the Brock and for
this rifki had to dress up Yaakov like a
self so who was receiving the Brucker
the person who bit Sonia says Asaph but
on the inside as ya
and with this risk is secured that
throughout all of the generations every
Jew that you meet even the Jew
externally may look like a sub but
internally there's a flame of Yaakov
there and therefore he or she is part of
that blessing part of that huge part of
that experience part of that covenant
that should assure him says the young
peasants back a vase of he sometimes in
messed and entangled with the heel of
Asaph but still it's Yaakov in the ache
of there's to the youth in the a curve
although he may fall low although she
may fall low to the abyss but in the
ache of they're still the youth ache of
Yaakov
so even though it's a hazards by cave I
saw this Jew maybe from frustration
maybe from annoyance maybe in one moment
will scream out and say Hashem I built a
tent just for a few moments come in and
now I'm going to demolish the tent my
toy violently yaki the oil is built by
Yaakov the other stresses about cabeza
reminds me of the anecdote you have the
stories of Sherlock Holmes and dr.
Watson so Sherlock Holmes and the
stories they today's go camping and he
builds a tent they beta cap on the fly
and they build a tent
it's a beautiful bonfire and a beautiful
tent and they're sleeping in the tent
the middle of the night
Sherlock turns to dr. Watson and they're
short stories and he says dr. Watson
what do you see when you look up he says
I see the beautiful night I see the
kingdom of night I see the formation of
the stars I see the eloquence and the
majesty of the constellations and he
goes on to wax eloquently about the
beauty of night and the beauty of heaven
the middle of the night and then he
turns to Sherlock Holmes and he says
Sherlock what do you see he says I see
that somebody stole our tent so
everything has two perspectives right so
you have the Jew you knows
as their album says bar Vucetich
Cataumet his relationship a sham is and
then you have the I Alaska you know
somebody stole somebody stole my tent
he's involved in a world in aisle Amazo
who stole my tent who stole this who
stole that and I'm going to get it back
then you have the Jew this is wrong
easterlies Leroy he's not in meshed in
the heel he doesn't fall down to the
lowest part of his rep Nelson calls the
ache of Malachi mother's Shahbuddin
because the the the the the least
vitality is in the heel we know the
blood flow there is smaller the scant
versus the entire body that's why people
who have challenges with their blood for
diabetics and so on and so forth the
first place that gets affected is the
foot so the officer up not an ache of
his Malachi mother's Shabbat them here
is not a Jew who goes down low and falls
low and certainly not the other night
has this bike a vase of the heel of
Asaph lee rajesh he serese a Malik in a
menage him about took home sir II saw
you sir all from the word sire a prince
a minister Mischka nice are you strong
this is a different pin a different
category it's the difference between the
six days of the week on Shabbos it's
what bilham says later lira oven be a
claw he bit of envy akka a Valero normal
be strong in Yakka if he did not find
iniquity in you slowly didn't even find
amo toil
oven is not a question even Alma Masari
Shabbos is a mini-game indicators what
do we say altaira
of the yeah Keith because Shabbos are
Jews in the pin of Easter all the rice
the head six days of the week he's in
the plane of Yaakov Commons mid sorry
Shabbos Dashami you say relieves and
people with sorry Shabbos are often
prone to despondency and rejection omit
sorry Shabbos is an empty feeling some
people think they can you know with
pizza or bowling they're going to take
it away but Sahel bobbum Isis because
it's not the food it's not the pizza
it's um it's re sharpest so we sing out
you're going out to the HEV but don't be
afraid don't fall apart even as we yeah
kaholokula diary by eva goo boy my life
really came even though it's reactive
elekid Erica so we sell tear I've the
archive that's the pin of Messiah
Shabbos the six days of the week so my
toy of oil a car the oil in my created
by Yaakov
Mishka nice after you sir all the
Mishkan is created by you sir all comes
bilham and takes a look at the Jewish
people naturally you would think he
would preface first the Easter all my
toy boil FA Yaakov
he gives preference and he says how
goodly how gracious how unbelievable how
beautiful of the tents created by Yaakov
and then Myshkin SFA is wrong Latoya the
order should be the exact opposite
obviously there's a mile in you stall
that doesn't exist in Yaakov obviously
there's a superior quality in Michigan a
circular doesn't exist in ayahuasca but
nonetheless there is special my tofu in
the oil fa Yaakov that has a mile a even
relative to Y because the LFA Yaakov
represents the Eternity of the spirit
that represents the coal that never gets
extinguished it represents the
relationship that never dies they hold
on to the flame even amidst the
challenges of a cliff so there's a
special quality about what's even more
is the Yaakov Jew represents that Jew
introduces the light of our M been
welcomed harshest in a place of darkness
when the meddra says in time
homogeneously miss avocadoes very holy
lady rabbit acronym who is the one who
brings in the light of the ribbon asylum
but acronym in a place of darkness it's
the Yaakov Jew the souls who elevates
himself or elevates herself to our oasis
of light to a paradise of spirituality
to an oasis of Tiran Nevada the
Jews struggles with a Cuvaison who
struggles with himself or herself with
various conflicts and contrasts with
various paradoxes and ups and downs and
yet nonetheless nonetheless knows right
now why Aleph a Yaakov right now I want
a tent and I want to have you here so he
brings in the light of M s in the place
of darkness he creates this Hapuku Holly
: IRA
their scarf you see after the subduing
of the darkness in the density of our
maza
bak a vase off he's dressed my case of
but sometimes kuru big day and he tears
open his clothes and he says i want to
make him really Yaakov
this has a special place my toy viola
say Yaakov and that's why every morning
we come in - Davin II the first say I
think you say my favorite lease on the
baal shem tov said that sometimes you
have a jew and he was describing you
know that drew was working hard he's
slipped began to talk and he sees a few
moments before she it's a few moments
before sunset and he's completely
overwhelmed with his work he's sweating
he's exhausted
a minister a minister and he runs into
he runs into show he runs into shook and
he's very very busy so he darvin's a
minute and he that was it pretty swiftly
but that moment he gives a sigh and he
tears himself away from the hustle and
the bustle and mr. Gaston and the rat
race of oil um huzzah
and he constructs for eight minutes a
temporary going right back right back
into the stressful world suck the Baal
Shem Tov nobody could be metalia the
Gordo Chanukah siroc nobody can describe
they give all the cat I know the
extraordinary pleasure that he creates
love Miley creates in heaven from that
temporary oil from that temporary that
this Yakov who's the other hazards back
evasive that he created nobody can't
appreciate he says them I love him and
thus rough him in heaven I'm economy are
jealous of this type of emotional
experience and the same is true so that
when a person comes so there's two types
of Jews a Jew
you know his pace are still wet from the
mikveh and and he's very been learning
for a few hours and he's gonna learn
afterwards is he's on fire he's on fire
so this Mishra nice at least at all
that's one drew but then there's another
drew you know that he already had a
hundred emails he already received one
hundred emails this morning and most of
them are not about you know something
dummy or or a question the partial Sasha
who and that headache and disappointment
in that appointment
just leave me alone for a few minutes
but he looks down at himself or she
looks down at herself within all the
pressure to create that that that that
corner that oh hell what is it worth so
we begin no my toy boy LF a Yakov how
godly how goodly are those I haul him of
ya coins those special moments moments
of truth moments of truth in a place of
darkness as it says peacefully can who -
almaty splat Satan you dish at the
neighbors - dr. bill Manuel masa they
still manage to finish me not a brienna
finish minute songs i nor mine give me
only five minutes give me only the point
of a needle
tiny me give me five minutes out of 24
hours but those five minutes should be
mine exclusively i think a proper
metaphor is in marriage better to speak
to your wife five minutes a day without
looking at your iphone in the middle of
the conversation than to speak for two
and a half hours but you're answering
emails by shots mice this hula judicial
market give me five minutes I know
you're distracted but give me five
minutes but those five minutes should be
exclusively mine and when the after come
to be special
that's toil away akka there's a muscle
for this that the ballot Anya gives in a
different context
he uses a marshal of a desert traveling
the desert allow me the Liberty since
we're in the 21st century to give
a muscle but to give a muscle from an
airplane I travel a lot so I always I'm
astonished from a phenomenal thing I see
on airplanes and that is Meal Time on
airplanes ever saw Meal Time on
airplanes here's a Jew that if his wife
you'll forgive me Desura snow sure if
his wife would serve him the food that
they serve him on the airplane yeah well
given Chaya I get the marriage wouldn't
last Monday Thursday so Luna sauce oh
yeah MonaVie yum commissioner they'd be
in the Connors Ezra I mean let's face it
the green beans are celebrating their
Bar Mitzvah the rice is usually
celebrating a BAS Mitzvah the chicken
and the meat they're ready are in a mesh
of skating half of it is frozen and I'm
not going to describe the other features
of the meal and it's aged now a Jew
ordered a meal and they don't have it
you ever saw they don't have his kosher
meal it's not upset 21 hour flight to
New Zealand it's a three-hour flight a
4-hour flight maybe even a 45-minute
flight but they don't have his kosher
meal he threatens to sue the company to
bring down the plane no pun intended -
to bring down the airlines
- wait till I call my lawyer hi talking
islands and this food you wouldn't feed
it to your enemy but on the plane and
then when he gets it when he gets it
because his neighbor says you can have
mine it's b'seder right it's a nut oil I
feel asked Elif even if would be summits
there's a shine there would be if it's
if it's motor um when he gets it he
Mumma shows the egg salad by shell
should seem Amish finishes it
octopus de Macarena so the last drop to
drop last drop of my macro name and
blood that's there so what's what's the
psychology here what's the psychology I
promise you in his own home he wouldn't
look at it he was thrown in the garbage
the shot is vulnerability when people
are suspended 30,000 feet above the
Pacific Ocean
they don't have 19 restaurants across
the street they can't call up a hundred
stores in 20 minutes have a delivery
they can go to their pantry refrigerator
and freezer and warm themselves up a
nice healthy or unhealthy piece of food
they feel that vulnerability and when
you feel that vulnerability where you
don't have that security that confidence
that wholesomeness so even those items
that regularly are completely
insignificant not only insignificant you
would see them as as negative as that
tremendo but here here the frozen
horrific food becomes a soother slime
Abishai time this Marshall is not my own
this Marshall the ballot Anya brings in
one of his my Mari Amanda Seyfried
called us Alice large Nia about a person
is traveling in a mid bar and there's no
food so the little tiny morsel of food
it's quite grotesque becomes extremely
delicious and significant and he
explains this is the my love eleska yeah
cliff over Michigan is such a strong and
that is in our world idealism is so
precious it's so scant there's so much
darkness there's so much struggle that a
tipper
a tea / an ounce of idealism an ounce of
truth an ounce of purity a little bit of
innocence a little bit of kedusha and
para is more valuable than a su - lima
be shy in Canadian and higher world
there's so much Soviet I can eat a real
sue - limb of a Shia but in our world
even a meal like a plain meal become so
significant than so valuable because
Hashem looks around the world and he's
looking for a tip of kedusha and when
you have it you experience it the
attachment the spiritual revolution the
depth that it creates peril it
transcends infinitely anything else and
that's the difference between a soldier
is a sacred creature he enters into
heaven
well yeah laughs hi Yakov never leaves
earth but once in a while suspended in
this dark planet of Earth he says are
you left I want to build a tent so bill
um this clear is the first thing my
playboy I left he academic an
association so in summation we have a
the for Purusha in addition to the
peerage opposite of sneers of modesty of
minding your own business of not looking
into other people's tense and not
comparing yourself to other people and
not the finding yourself based on other
people
there's the peerage of the magnet of
them as rich people speak Toyota they're
not out to provoke each other and
contradict each other to be connected
their outlet same shamaya there's the
Peter chevre blossom everybody has their
own door everybody has their own path
everybody has their own window to heaven
don't expect another window to be like
your have your window it's supposed to
be different windows and just because
it's not your truth it doesn't mean it's
not the truth of somebody else
one person Davin's louder than one
person valving is lo one person
thousands fast at one person Davin's
slow in the examples he gives and other
examples and in many ways it parallels
the first parish because it basically
means that a louver a loo you have it in
tired and you have it in a voice I am in
Toyota that's what the misery term and
it brings out not an avoider and then
you have AB article of measure Busch who
brings out in the a vom a miss fame he
opens up a tiny door to judicial market
Hashem opens capisco Lula and finally
have the peers of the Baal Shem Tov so I
think it's really should I am Shane are
BA the first two and the second to go
into two categories the first two about
diversity between Jews how we have to be
able to tolerate it and the second is
the relationship between Hashem so the
Baal Shem Tov says is the Jew of a
lesser does the Jew of which connects
essa so and here Balaam first and
foremost celebrates that great
contribution of a holiday Yaakov the Jew
in the midst of all the stress says come
my Shem I want to spend a few moments
with you I'm bill them himself could not
hold back and proclaims ah my toy boy
lefty Occam's can a circle a stroller
juice rest
we're stops for five minutes 10 minutes
15 minutes to learn mm a minister that
I've been a mite event for a few moments
and I just want to connect with you I
just want a moment of purity and bilham
says my toy the way Aleph a yak of
Michigan ASA
