Lag B'Omer with Rabbi Shais Taub and Eli Marcus

[Music] happy log blamer so these people here are they visiting you right now yeah when did you start what was the first day of the program today it started oh we're starting with a bank we have Ali Marcus this is the world's premier Jewish singer in this room in the world oh this is gonna help okay hello oh thank you this helps I woke up with a sore throat a little bit you can hear Rob somebody go through my teeth Hashem the key is helping so tonight it just became log volumen log is llama demo which is a number llama is 30 gimel is 3 right and that is young-soon plus a shell - be the ancien cluster show - be it's his the day of the passing of the Holy Tana the author of the Zion rebbi shimon ben de hoy who passed away on this day and he asked that the day of his passing should be observed as a happy day not as a sad day so we're doing women's bidding by making sure there are first festivities to mark the day furthermore there's another reason that this is a happy day as you know trying to figure out what the feedback is coming from as you know the time of Sphero is a time of minor availeth of morning with a mo you are and ing why we morning during this time during serie then I remember 24,000 students of WK bow we're dying that's right and that plague that wiped them all out came to an end on this day I'm a goner and therefore the restrictions the morning restrictions or the restrictions that are supposed to impose if day of Sun I morning are lifted on this day and primarily one of them that's pretty obvious is that during sveta we weren't playing music especially not live music which brings us joy so tonight to show that the morning came to an end we are particular to enjoy music so walkush and we have music but more than the fact that it's festive and that it's sweet and it's pleasurable and everybody enjoys music everyone enjoys music music is just something like people enjoy food you enjoy a sweet piece of food so you enjoy good music it's one of the things people naturally enjoy but in in Chabad music has a has a special place and it's not just because that it's enjoyable not just because it's pleasurable sometimes we do use things that are pleasurable in order to placate the animal soul so you know that's why we have the nice you know wait for cookies out on the table so that the animal will agree to sit down at the table and then before the animal knows it he may have heard something that will actually waken up the godly soul and change his life a little bit but that's that's not the way we use music in in Chabad it's not just because it's aesthetically beautiful and it's pleasurable and it draws you in actually the way we use music in Chabad is because music can accomplish something that that words cannot or let me restate that music can sometimes accomplish better that which usually we use words to accomplish what's the point of words why do we use words well I guess I suppose the truth is we could use words the same way most people use music - you could use words that are pleasurable words poetic words you know fluff say a bunch of fluff and it sounds good it sounds pretty doesn't really mean anything but it's you know it's inspiring but why do we really use words to convey meaning and sometimes we have such a deep meaning that words alone will not carry the meaning and so we use a song the the Magadh the Baal Shem Tov's premier disciple and successor one time he he taught he taught a teaching that's based on a mission and Chavez the teaching is Kabbalah Shearer Yeats and Bashir venom shocking Bashir and the literal meaning of that Mishnah like I said it's in the attractor of Chavez so it's speaking about the laws of Sabbath observance coal ballet sheer sheer is a leash or a chain so baile share mean those animals that have it have a leash or a collar or a chain Yates and Bashir it's permissible to take them out by their leash meaning it's not there's no concern for the labor of with labor might we may be concerned for carrying good good crowd so it's it's permissible to take them out with a leash name shock and Bashir they can even be drawn along NIM to be NIM shuffling to be drawn or pulled and that's also permissible but the maggot taught it like this the maggots Cole ballet she all of the possessors of a sheer sheer shinu duration mission i Akira means a chain or a collar or a leash but in Biblical Hebrew here Shira is a song like all a sham Shia - sing - sing - sing - ash I'm a new song so sheer means a song so kovala sheer all of the possessors of a song he said the angels and the souls who serve Hashem with an ecstatic song Yates and Bashir they go out with a song as when they go out they leave their selfhood they expire they have a song of ecstasy of bliss yearning for for Hashem that causes them to transcend their own self foot and to become absorbed in the oneness they do this to us through a song song of ecstasy my name's Jacques and this year but then they're drawn back down they returned to their selfhood they returned to their identity in order to serve Hashem in the existence that they were given we call ruts of a shelf right running and returning so that's how the maggot taught the Mishnah and it was considered very very controversial and there was a faucet and he came to a town called gloves glove was a very non Hasidic now let's say it let's not mince words it was a very anti Hasidic town and there was a hospital came to Sh club and the locals were hiding him and they were saying tell us something I say this we only wanted to make fun so he said oh I'll tell you them ok Kobayashi reagent Bashir and shocking Bashir really he doesn't mean the in addition to the simple meaning of meaning the animals being would lead with the leashes from the chains the deeper meaning and it means the the ballet shear the possessors of a song that means the souls and the angels who sing a song about ecstasy Yeats and be shared they leave their cell phone with a song in shock abyss yet they returned to their selfhood with another song and the locals and schlub heard this and they were absolutely enraged like how can your rabbit take a simple Mishnah and distort it in such a crazy way so they were mocking this and it became like a scandal and then what happened is the outfit I became dishcloth the Alpharetta from all the different students of the margot Valtor Deborah was known as the ambassador to the mr. Ogden and there was a reason for that we know the outfit of his name was snare which is Schnee by two lights one of the two lights the out there ever was Bala Tanya and the bow Asha Leonora Altair ever the first ever Habad he wrote the Tanya which is the basic book of a cities of Nemea cetera or Nestor and he also wrote a revised version of the show Hinata which is Nicola de Tyler the revealed aspects of the tiger of the code in Jewish law so the the alte rabbit he was the one when they would go into the quote-unquote enemy territory and they needed somebody who knew how to talk in learning somebody who was a Talmudic genius and was recognized as such they would send the out that ever so the out that ever came dish glove and when he showed up it was right at that time when they were big there was the big scandal about Cole ball a shear Yates and Bashir of in shock and mischief anyways he shows up and he gets mobbed instantly as soon as they figure out who he is and everyone wants to ask their questions now they had a double motive for asking him questions and either they to show him up if they could expose some ignorant and the altar but then they wouldn't you know anyone who could do that would be the hero of 12 or they knew he was a genius so if he could answer their questions then they would be satisfied they got an answer to a question that they'd always been looking for so they all hounded him and there was some there were throngs crowds just surrounding him and the Alturas said this is not the way to do it let's call an assembly for tonight initial and I'll answer all the questions so they made an announcement that tonight everyone's going to meet ensure there was a certain base magician's glove known as the cold shoulde not sure why it was called that maybe it was cold it's called the culture and out that it was a big base medicine it was packed maybe it was just because it was the biggest sure abduction but it was packed was packed to the rafters literally you had people hanging off of every surface in the shul people standing in the windows hanging from the rafters place was packed was madhouse and the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife because there was this big scandal about coal polish idiot can be shared shocking Basheer and now one of the CID and one of the talmidim the primary telling me then of the maggot shows up and he's gonna stand at the front of the show that everyone's gonna be able to ask their questions and everyone came with all their hardest questions all of the scholars of schlub and they were scholars they were scallops they came with their big questions one of them was an in yase of coal boy you know why he was ben yosef cold buddy because coal buddy everything was in him he was encyclopedia cand his knowledge of taiga he knew the entire titer like a computer in fact we know this story because of the ace of cold bodies record he's the one who transmitted the story to us and he's the one who preserved his first-hand experience of this event so yes of cold by says the place was packed everyone had the questions I came with my biggest questions that I'd set before the great common of glove and of Hill no and and nobody could answer my question and I came with this question maybe I'll get a chance to ask where they used to come the the large new market or the market of largeness it was the the after that was from the town of Liana so he says the out that I begat up to the and and he looked around and he says the most inflammatory incendiary and words that he could possibly say at that place and at that time he says with a full packed crowd Cole Bala shear all of the possessors of songs the souls and the Angels Yates and Bashir they go out they leave their selfhood with a song of ecstasy venom shock and Bashir and they're drawn back down into their selfhood through another song song of return in order to serve a chef and now will sing a song you have questions will sing a song and the outfit ever sing a song called the mountain Taylor and at that moment what happened in the room the ace of cold by explained he said that he felt the knots in his brain unraveling the the knots that hadn't tied tight for years were just coming loose and he felt the entire room was being lifted and everyone's consciousness was being lifted and what started to happen is everyone just had this heightened perspective and from that from up there from the place where the Elton Emma had lifted them there were no questions the all Simcoe boy says I'm thinking about my questions and at that point it wasn't that the question was answered it was that that the whole topic became so clear in front of me that the question itself vanished and it was so simple so elegant it was all from from the effect of this song so you see the place of Nagina of melody and music in Chabad is not just because a song you know sing me a pretty song it's not just because the aesthetic of it it's because sometime there's a message that can only be transmitted through the language of song I want to I want to tell you bad news we don't know the negan mountain title because yes of cold body didn't preserve it maybe he didn't know how to write notes but we know a lot of Nagumo from the after ever know that the out that either himself composed and we're gonna ask reveille to help us sing one of the negan opening after that we want to tell us about it add the niccola that explains yeah son of the alternative that has song also goes in a circle also you have anybody's student of music we have the circle of fifths everything goes in a circle so a song if it doesn't if it's not in a circle then the pieces don't really everything has to match and perform a circle so the sense that fits in with the reference this year that it's a caller also a some kind of a ring or a circle so doctor ever composed 10 famous nakulan Sinan would say that this is one of the things that he prided himself had these composed and I think the most common one is called K leotta and singing her together group your other hand [Music] Oh [Music] I know yeah [Music] Chicago up le says it's a fabric and stop clapping it's our performance not a concert he's right that's why I like that leaves acidity you first inform of the cost second time performer nah it just happens to be that everybody likes to watch him since initiated that's police barbershop so that'd be shipping today I'd be shipping today and B Sherman busy hi and let me Shimon was take it off seminar say you know that means Toyota was his occupation most people you have a job and when you're not working I mean out helping in the house when you're not taking care of other things your muscle you if you're obligated to learn taro but most people don't want data all that mean ibaka and she will learns data all day that we used to speak about at the lock by Morales how the synthesize Shimon the children the little children are like Ashley they're like additional in your high because the children are did awesome and also because children don't have to pay those gentlemen I have to don't have to worry about taking care of their practical needs so child or Ibaka yeshiva is trade-offs and when I say Toyota is your occupation your sole occupation just like at a mission Shimon he was so lofty in his his level of Tyra that we actually find something unusual about him we find that his Titleist was able to accomplish what prayer normally is used for normally we use prayer to elicit a request something from heaven and Toyota is about learning how Hashem is perspective unreality looks now B Shimon was able to actually learn player in a way that didn't just reveal her son's perspective but so to speak change the heavenly point of view and change the reality down here so he used Toyota to accomplish what normally we would use prayer to accomplish the story is that once they were in need of rain and so the people came to the passion and they said we need rain can you pray for us so the bishop and said you know what I won't do it through prayer yeah I'll help you out but not through prayer I'll do it through through thorough study so what didn't maybe Shimon learn he learned the pus of a verse from tehilim from Psalms there's a verse in Psalms he named at the woman noi'm behold how good it is and how pleasant Chevis aachen the sitting together of brothers or sitting of brothers down your hat together brothers sitting together how good and how pleasant it is when brothers sit together so every shipment explained like this this is recorded in the Sahara and the Holies I are asking who the I the brothers the brothers are the cruising are the cherubs and the cover of the ark who are described in in Torah as if al-ahqaf each one facing its brother in this case there was a boy and a girl so brother here is gender neutral means sibling and we know that when there was peace between the Jewish people and Hashem these two crew them these two cherubs these two figures on top 11 rows the figures and talking with these little figures on top of the ark cover they look like babies with weightings I'm talking about little Cabbage Patch dolls eighties kids will remember why it was only for you but I like it give you a reference there so when there was peace between our Chairman the Jewish people these two little clothing cherubs were facing each other and when there wasn't peace then they would actually face away and each one is called a sibling so that we shouldn't set like this Hina might tell you mine not even cheves hatha-yoga how pleasant how good and pleasant it is when siblings meeting in this case the representation is Hashem the Jewish people are dwelling yoha together what's Gong Johan also together also together what's them also why does it say also so he said like this when I him meaning the Jewish people themselves are at peace among each other when there is obvious role and act is useful when Jewish people are getting along among each other brother to brother then gam also will be the yahud who's the yahud the oneness to all the one the unity harsher Sohini matter human knowing how good and pleasant it is cheves asking when jewish people are united together then gam also will be your HUD the one the unity the all Hashem will be present as well but in a place where there is unity among Jews Hashem will be present that's what a mission had taught as recorded in desire and that's what caused it to rain anyway we have genome active there are a few versions of this as an icon as a as a song I think that one that's most famous outside car BOTS like an Israeli what's the famous that was right Israeli folk song or something okay but in Chabad we have a bunch of helium atoms all right let me teach it to us one by one yeah okay you teach each each part and you're like really make this learner okay even start with the first version and this joke this it's random you could call I'm gonna start with Tina amount of two and then go back Dina Matos one okay all right all right [Music] No [Music] [Applause] [Music] some pain [Music] Oh we make one [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] everything has to have a what if you always practice [Music] Oh is bad [Music] Namastey to Cooperstown do we know who composed the you know my phone number do as we're calling it we don't know sometimes we know who composed in England sometimes it reaches us so we don't know sometimes we know but I don't know it could be it's known but I don't know what before we learn another gene in my life just want to speak a little bit more about this out idea of obviously slow but loving your fellow and it's connection to rubbish shimon specifically so we mentioned before that during this time of year 24,000 students of Navi Aquila perished and a plague and we know everything has a reason sometimes we don't know the reason but in this case we're told the mother tells us that it was a punishment we know that the righteous are judged meticulously to the to the hair's breath and according to the lofty standard of these students of rebbi akiva what they did was a capital offense what do they do or what didn't they do we want to tells us like Naugle covens abbas that they didn't treat each other respectfully didn't treat each other respectfully now that ever asks a question about this what do we know about Rebecca Bowman and we know a lot of things about other people but if you were to ask her Becky but could you tell me what is one of the main ideas in the whole Tyra what are they gonna be a cable without you you know the club silken everyone knows the top so combs that ever came out with 12 tell reverses and my mother has all sayings of this ages in fact lock buggers connected to the cops opium octo reverses because the first six came out on Rosh Chodesh year to Finland 1976 and the second six were rolled out at the feminine of Loctite of that same year so Lag Ba'Omer is connected to the top so everyone else to talk silken little kids say them work my word and everyone chance after them and then they get candies and prizes tell you see ba la no Meisha it all shop yeah okay okay beautiful so there's 11 more and one of them is you have to react become a home that's a verse but Z of the honor of aqui was a club called Latoya the beekeeper said this is a main principle of the table so here's Rebecca Bob I was preaching AMA Cicero saying love your fellow like yourself is a major principle of the trader and then his students couldn't respect each other what went wrong and maybe you say okay maybe they were rebbi akiva wannabes they weren't really following his his path but nothing about it says they would come we de aquila there were his disciples what were they doing wrong you know the guy mother says that no two people have the same mind ain't de same Sheldon I oughta be Sheldon a autumn chalets the no two people have the same mind just like no two human beings have the same facial features that's why you have the biometrics facial recognition because no two people have the exact same face no two people have the exact same mind so how many different ways if rebek you've had 24,000 students how many different ways of being a student Rebbe Akiva were there 24,000 that's right so they were all Tommy data that came with a router via canvas students but each one of them because each one of us has a little bit and mind had a different spin on how to apply that they gave us teachings so here's the thing that became a student's they would look at each other and say you got it all wrong that's not what leba Kela means the other one saying no no no you've got it all wrong what you're saying that's not what every Kiva means and they could have just left it there agreed to disagree but they couldn't you know why because they'd internalize the teaching of love you fellow like yourself so they loved each other so much they'd say to themselves just like I couldn't allow myself to be so foolish how can I allow my friend to be so foolish so they can have a lack of love they had too much love they loved each other to death they couldn't let each other be wrong they couldn't just live and let live know why because of the love and it was because of that that they met there they met their end now after twenty four thousand students earlier Kiva perished that became a rebuilt he rebuilt with five new students one of those five students was Debbie Sherman admission been your height by the what's the difference between rebbi shimon bar yohai innovation venue hi anyone know the difference Aramaic are evil right so in the Zohar which is Aramaic it's a Shimon bar Yohai and in Mishnah which mission as Hebrews as fishermen venue hi well release is gonna be shimon mostly but russian a coalition haven't been your hi and for whatever reason I actually haven't found the reason but did ever always said the regime been your high and bargain high and all developed all since about your life but never always said that was Shimon Ben your high so a fisherman Ben your height was one of the five students that maybe Akiva raised after the twenty four thousand students died and in the be Shimon we see at T corner noted Tikhon is a rectification you know a correction for what went wrong we see it in a couple of ways I'll tell you one way and then they will learn in my favor number one or in a month number three one of the ways that you see the correction of what went wrong with the previous generation of ridiculous students there'll be human and his son they they were hiding from the from the Romans rabbi Shimon was was outspoken in his criticism of the Roman government so there was actually a death sentence he had to go hide he had the son we're hiding in a cave and in that cave they lived miraculously they there was a carob tree some have accustomed to getting care about my environment there was a well of water a wellspring of water and that's how they survived in the cave and they did nothing but study tyre in the entire time so after 12 years they came out of the cave in 12 years of being like in this space station like totally separate from regular human life and knowing nothing but deep deep Torah studying the entire time they came out and they saw people farming and it blew their minds they did and actually they had a negative reaction to it and because of the power that they had whenever they would look at something negatively their eyes would set fire to whatever they were looking at so there was a heavenly voice that said hey you didn't come out here to destroy the world get back in there so they went back in decay for another year and after the thirteenth year they came out they saw some with farming and then the Culebra halász animi Sherman's son would saw the farmer and he was again he was shocked he was he didn't know how to deal with it but now every Sherman told him he said dialogue Elam uh I need the ad company it's enough for the world you and I my son in other words what did he tell them the way we live we do nothing but learn Tyra we don't have a job we don't have any distractions all we do is we're constantly absorbed in holiness that's our path that's how we live you don't have to hold others accountable to living that way of life there are other ways there are other ways to live which are equally legitimate equally valid and it's enough for the world that there are do people like us but the rest of the world doesn't have to be like us live and let live in fact one of the things that we Sherman took notice of was somebody at of shadows was running with two sprigs of the dip of Myrtle Hadas and he asked him what's it for he says I'm getting ready for Shabbos have one for summer and one for sulfur simple Jew who had a love for the observance of the mitzvah of of Shabbos meaning wasn't the big scholar but how did he love a shaman how did he serve a sham yet he buddy buddy he would get these spirits of Myrtle for smut smelling for good smells on Shabbos and that's beautiful that's fine if rabbi Shimon would say well you know what instead of learning tired I'm gonna you know sniffle no that's not okay because every Sherman was capable of learning tired on the level that you learned it but each person has their way did they conserve a show so you don't compare anyone else to you you don't compare yourself to anyone else each one has to compare himself to his best self that's it so that was the first way that I wish Shimon rectified and fixed where his predecessors the first twenty four thousand students of Reb Akiva went wrong who is able to say it's okay for different people that have different paths that's one way there's another way in the story we learn for every Sherman but I want to learn another meaning my life in a Mata page 126 everyone have your sandbox mental songbooks their mental songbooks if you really close your eyes and meditate you'll see the songbook anybody wants to get the book get it [Music] yeah [Music] when I tell about the alternate part the additional part apparently there's a mysterious third part I thought you did the first time I'm hearing this that there's a controversial third part to the a little bit controversial yeah why is it controversial it's a big scam by Nature yeah okay well just your fist fights over it for posterity saying it goes like this [Applause] [Music] yeah [Applause] [Music] and you just wonder since it's not a performance and it's a toughie bragging can we do the first scene of my life again is to make sure that we've learned it yeah [Music] ah [Music] got it okay okay but every shipment ala Cicero D : rectification so the shipment comes out of the cave so first thing the first thing he did which shows us that he was not like the 24,000 students who didn't know how to honor each other whose love became toxic and destructive was that he was able to say not everyone has to be the same told the son you and I can learn title day and night without stop and other people can have other ways of serving then there was another thing because you see the first thing was just what he didn't do wrong first you got to stop the bleeding right when you try to fix something first thing is what you should not do alright the first thing when these dysfunction is don't just do something sit down here that saying before you think don't just sit there do something let's counterintuitive the truth is don't just do something sit there stop what you're doing stop causing destruction so there the love that's causing destruction cut it out sit there so that's the first thing he was able to have that poise that self restraint to not evolve in a destructive way in an overwhelming way an overbearing way smothering way okay so that's what not to do that's how not to love how should you love now give me a positive example how you should love so after the B Shimon came out of the cave he said since I should indeed a miracle for me I'm gonna show my gratitude I want to go see if something needs fixing hazal asking Nilsa let me go and fix something and it came to a town he said does anything need fixing and they really well as a matter of fact yeah we got this annoying thing there's some dead bodies in the town and we don't know exactly where they are and with the Cohanim when the the priests the descendants of Aaron you know they're they're not allowed to defile themselves to a corpse problem is we don't know exactly where those where those corpses are and so they have to take a circuitous route they can't walk through the normal thoroughfare of the town they have to go all the way all the way around to avoid it so the humans did find no problem I'll take care of it he did something you can learn about in lemona job is interestingly enough da Fleming to get on and really is it's interesting nuances anyway so he fixed the situation this is an incredible lesson what's the lesson here you don't fix people you fix situations don't fix people people don't need to be fixed that's not a healthy love that's controlling love nobody wants to be changed nobody wants to be told they have to be different what do we do we don't fix people with excisions so for instance if you see a Jew you say excuse me sir have you put on tefillin today are you Jewish have you put on tefillin no and you put fill it on him let me ask you a serious question are you improving him by putting to fill in on him how can you improve upon perfection [Music] you don't improve him you're proving the situation there's a problem it's called ignorance and apathy and assimilation and Jews aren't putting out Philip and because of Argos the guarantor ship with which we accepted the Torah at Sinai it's not just someone else's problem it's also my problem but there's a big difference between thinking of fixing a person and thing and realizing that really just fixing a situation there's something so arrogant about using a mitzvah it's soon it stick cheapens the mitzvah to use the mitzvahs the way to be the one who's doing someone else a favor hold on a second maybe he's doing you a favor maybe he's giving you as close a merit to be able to be helpful to him in his journey when we're not doing him a favor he's doing you the favor because you're religious he's not religious so you think you're better you're not better he's in a situation when his neshama came down to this world and for whatever reason it doesn't know about the felon or doesn't understand clearly enough to make it a priority and you're helping to do something about that situation but you're not fixing him if it's in the situation and if he says no there's no hard feelings and if he says yes he doesn't owe you anything if he says no there's no hard feelings don't take it personally offensive and if he says yes he doesn't owe you anything if you're the guy who put fill in on him and you started his journey and mitzvot kinetise Mitzvah or you took him out of the category of a skull that never had a fella not he doesn't owe you anything you are fortunate that the a breeze that puts you in the place to be the SH Lea at that moment the goblins Kasauli there's our guy good things happen through good people healthiest interaction between two human beings I've ever saw in my life was at a Chabad house around 2:00 in the afternoon on a Shabbos I won't say where it was it doesn't matter what was and from the story you'll be able to tell the rabbi who was involved would never want to be named medical bat house brought out to speak one of the speeches was Shabbos day after the kiddush some about one o'clock or whatever it was so I give the lecture you know 30 40 minutes whatever it is and when I finish you see people are looking at their watches and their yeah they're going there you know the hands in the pocket then you see you there anything grab them the car keys and 90% of people they were not Shama Shama I mean that's just reality and they were looking at their watches okay you know two o'clock got it you know gotta go to karate practice or ballet or whatever whatever was racquetball whatever went over the head is there not Chavez observing people and after 90 percent of the crowd left there about ten percent of the people left over and you can tell those were all the people keep Shabbos right because they're still sitting there and one of the guys are sitting next to the SH Lea I'm sitting here this Nixon here and this guy's sitting then on the other side and I wasn't paying attention to their conversation because someone else was talking to me but one I tuned in what I started to hear is the guy sitting here says to the rabbi says rabbi I just want to thank you for changing my life and the rabbi the SH Lea literally looked literally looked like someone had slapped him and would like live like a stink like and he waited a second he's just gonna gather his thoughts I guess find the words and he says no no no don't thank me I didn't change your life but thank you I want to thank you for letting me be there as a resource to you while you were changing your life that was the healthiest interaction between two human beings ever seen my life you changed yourself I didn't change you I can't change you in fact I wouldn't want to change you I love you how you are why would I want to change it you know that ever said the difference between Naya have ramen Malaysia no I officially he was supposed to change people so I made the building of the table of the ark take 120 years so our own would see and be like hey what's up with that well I was gonna punish you all you got a under the children didn't get any any customers he opened up a big issue and nobody came o Brahma be know he was more successful you know what he used to do he used to use hospitality he made in a chalet shalls' a English the earth lilia eat drink and accompaniment and he is remembered people with me in the desert and he would feed them food and afterwards he say let's bench let's make a blessing to a shaman they would say ah I'm not into that you would say now well then you can pay and they say no we don't want to pay so it's okay so let's bless and he won over many adherents that way an official avocado Tara tells us that he and sada made the fuch ice they made souls meaning they may followers who they brought under the wings of the sheena but you see the way that avril lavigne was loving people was with a little bit of a penny off peanut needs an ulterior motive he was loving them for really really good reasons really noble reasons he wanted them to do Java he wanted them to do the right thing but he was loving them in order to get them to do the right thing I told you I woke up this morning with mines my throat burning somebody should have a know his love was even greater than that when people got caught up and they had to egg on the set of the golden calf until the Shem forgive them not because they'll do teshuvah not because there are extenuating circumstances not just said to forgive that period and if you don't non-negotiable Metheny enormous difficulty race me from your book they go I go so make sure the baton was saying here are sinners I'm not promising you that they're gonna improve I'm not I'm not promising I'm gonna help the ditch over I'm saying take them as is and if you don't take them as is you get rid of me too that's obvious is wrong that's the love that were demanded to feel and to explain not the love that I love you so much I'm going to help you be better they say I don't know if there's a good job for buckram but they say on a man and a woman get married the man gets married with the based on the hope that his wife will never change his wife gets married based on the hope that he will change so you love somebody based on what you think you can turn them into just died well because it was an hour so you gotta wait it's the Instagram live over there when did it when did it time out cuz now okay so you want to figure it out and you can start a new one in like a minute I think that's my production assistant of Ramallah helps me out the love that motion of a know has for every Jew is unconditional he doesn't love you because he sees the potential in you and how he can improve you and what you'll look like if you go to yeshiva and you become religious he's not investing in you you understand there are some people who will invest in you they will take a look at you and they'll try to make a determination what is the likelihood that there was a call to return on investment ROI right so I'm running a yeshiva and I'm sorry I mean we have limited resources we have a building we've got to pay utilities and we got to pay teachers and we have to find the students where there's a good ROI and if this guy is just going to come and learn Torah and at the end of it we have no promise that he's going to join it from community he's going to send his kids you Shiva we just wasted all these resources on him does that sound too cynical trust me when I tell you the way I'm saying it right now is sugar-coated the reality is worse than that the obvious is that all of my should obey no is that you don't have to earn a place here you don't have to promise to earn the right to be one of us you're already one of us and you no different than all of us in fact we're all different in our own special way and in the eyes of a sham we're all equally infinitely valuable and I could that I could never even dare try to improve on that how could I improve upon perfection so let me ask you again you put fill another two are you improving him no you are not how could you improve a perfect neshama Hashem ashiness ought to be - hi Daddy Michelle is perfect and pure the problem is the situation that pure salt came down to a body and this body is a rough neighborhood you know what them house they're the physical world is like all the temptation or the distraction you know let me eat stupid each other you ever heard of him I believe he gets cook was the big lover of the Jews and he used to exonerate the Jews he would argue he was the defense attorney so one time Olivia's murder a said Hashem look at what you did you took all of the truth and the light and the wisdom and you hid it in the books and the holy books and you took all the temptation and the worldly pleasure and you dangled it in front of our faces of course people sin imagine if you had done it the opposite way that the light and the truth and the wisdom were smack dab right in the front of our in front of our eyes and all the the foolishness and distraction would be written in some obscure book they'd have to actually go hunt down and find in order to even find out about then nobody would sin but I shoved in the opposite and he put Souls and bodies and he put bodies in this world and that's a messed up situation called Gullah s-- called exile and we're here to fix the situation hey the Alaskan mill so let me go fix something let me improve the situation a little bit let me make a little bit more light in this world if I can do it by I put on my own filler help another did you put on fill go to yeshiva learn Torah leave your Sheila get a job give us a dog I have a family what there's no limit to the ways to make more light in the world through your own you describe to somebody else is here this guy there are all ways of making more light north but you're not improving on people you're improving upon the situation that's the opposite of nation obey no that's the opposite of revolution when you're high and that is the obvious Israel of all of the Siddiqui hot there then the seein the real leaders of the Jewish people through the generations they saw Jews and they saw I cannot improve upon perfection the situation is a mess and we're gonna do something about the situation I'm going to teach you say this in pinyin so tightener and reveal all the secrets of the theta in order to improve the situation and we're going to send out fluffly in order to improve the situation but a Jew a Jew is perfection you can't improve upon perfection that's that's that's obvious is throw the real opposite slope which every one of you here is worthy of you want to teach us another in my life so this third in a matter is actually a negative simplest error that was adopted as a hinny motto and you guys know the system is simple just replace the word zucchini mata he name of Amano Himchan this thank you one just make sure we learned the the first key no my flavor that you talked prep we want to make sure we live leave the fabric with one Nigam that we have down solid so ooh expert mode [Music] Oh [Music] thing [Music] good sounds good sounds beautiful you know what it says in that yin-yang you know that either/or saver called her yin-yang yeah what is her name day a yin-yang means from day to day where today is the day or today's day today is the day Cafe diem and it's the daily thought now sometimes it's not really clear why that day's high game is connected with that day but sometimes it's really obvious like tomorrow's how ya going talks a little bit about Locke blamer by the midlet ever by the second that I was out that had a son and successor the middle eleven second but you know that I ain't getting the name her getting getting hints to the content of the book do you know where all of the passages of a Jamie and were taken from they were all taken from the video up not only citrus with FIDIC of the Seekers or ladders my modem they were taken from things that the the feeder could ever had written or said and that ever compiled them so basically their ever who was the consummate rather of his part of the cosmic hospital is rather his safer was he took his rap his teachings and he arranged them and the name hire him also you involved men is yelling so it's higher both men will of man which you'd you'd each urine starts with your that's the three degree of his name the previous service humming and then men men which is the rebus named man men and then the valve in between valves connection so huh yeah yeah means the your dude and man man it's the connection between the revelry together and the subtitle of the book which was given by the Video Grabber when he saw the book was Lua or zarua lucida Habad a calendar of implanted light for Habad Hassidim a year Zula player zero is actually a lotion Apothic it's a turn of phrase from a verse in psalms layers a little italic light implanted for the righteous what what what is layer zero of me it means a seed of light you know what a seed does you put the seed in the ground and it grows exponentially really infinitely because that recede can continue infinite generations and has the coil has the potential for infinite growth like they say any anyone can count the seeds in an apple that only Hashem can count the apples in a seed because really there are infinite amount of apples in every seed in potential so how yang yang Mis or zarua its seeds of light a yang in takes you 30 seconds in the morning to read 30 seconds it's like a little seed it's kind but it grows on you and it expands infinitely taking on deeper and deeper and deeper meaning that's why if you're looking for something to take on maybe let's say you're not coming back to yeshiva right away and you want to have something to learn every day that's gonna really stick to you that's really gonna have some power and you think you only have half a minute a day I say you think you only have a half a minute a day because it's like that old story about the guy asked his rabbi he said I have five minutes a day to lunch and I learned this or should I learn holloko and I said you should learn five minutes of the cities because if you do that you'll realize you have a lot more than five minutes a day to learn so that you take 30 seconds a day and you learn how you ain't going and it either spans it grows on you it grows in you if you're looking to do something that's really big that's really big the effect is really big anyway the high yin-yang for tomorrow says that log volume ever by the mid loretta ii provided either was always considered a really big day and they used to go on into the field and celebrate and all the limit later because of health normally wouldn't say hi eman Mashka but black blamer he would and there were many miracles that happen especially miraculous blessings that were given to people and especially miraculous blessings in connection with fertility child having children many people asked the midlet above blessings on live white mare for children which came to pass and there's actually there's a story about a shreya fleshly ha who were in the New York area in the tri-state area close enough so that when they made their like mayor parade they were able to come to 770 on that day and then returned to their mamas with us in time for the parade so this Leah came to 772 waited for the debe to come out of 770 initially I said that since that other is the mammalian of the McClure tabatha since he is the one who takes the place fills the place fills the shoes and his the continuation of the mid whatever right third of a hammer one chain so therefore this is what it says about the millah de about asking from the Revit and although he and his wife had been childless for many years he said today is locked but I'm asking for overall four children and that's exactly what happened anyway La Cueva is a big day it's a big day for brothers it's a big day for going to the oil you could have a whole discussion later on where she'd be like boomer and we roll my thought but we'll do that and you have that discussion later at any rate so like boomers connected very much with the niccola rabbit and the meddler Depa has a neat one well I'm probably tired of my voice and reveille tell us about the Midlands caught you off-guard huh yes so we say about the middle mm-hmm and he was so spiritually in tune that's the right a pun intended oh that he couldn't good he was not able to sing because if he would sing he would have what's called closer nefesh just his soul would leave his body but you know just right so instead of like his father we mentioned the elder Evan was a composer and saying and he was he read the Torah and you know but he's but the middle of that he had instead he had what's called a cop hell yeah and the Kapadia was made up of singers and musicians and and they would sing when when when he has the turanians or a different occasion there was they were the ones that led the the singer um different occasions the myth would have asked them to compose a tune for something specific for example there's a sign in the Cohens blessing that we say on Yom Tov he asked them to compose a tune for for this blessing now we also have the Nichkhun it's called the middle Devas Capelli and that is the because it's the most famous of the of the new Conan that they would sing [Applause] yeah [Music] Oh [Music] oh yeah [Music] why breathe Oh [Music] I feel like I just want to make a statement in the name of Alice east of all that Ellie has to be in Toronto tomorrow for a wedding to be Miss America Austin and makalah this is what the big part of what he does to share his gift is he goes to weddings and we have to be respectful of that so when we spoke about tonight's agenda I told Ellie would meet we be finished by 11:00 but he says don't cut it short because he doesn't want to be to be his fault so it'll be my fault also everyone just arrived today today yesterday good happy you got in last night after you got in today the people are jet lag what time this is tomorrow morning the offices tomorrow morning he has a wedding I have a sore throat don't we're gonna have to see this now so I know I know young people always want to stay up late it's always a contest to see you get fed right don't dawn missing that gives my Christmas of shockers yeah I know what that's no but sometimes it's better sometimes less is more and you hear a message that clicks and that's enough and you go sleep on it and see what see how it grows on you so I'll just I'll share one more idea with you but then you're on your own you're never on your own cuz whenever alone in fact I think that's what I should tell you there's a high yin-yang that says that once upon a time the Russia Shiva was lonely or alone it was ailment natal Medan as I nailed the students were lonely or alone what did the outfit ever achieved out there about guitar now that I've accomplished that the dev is not alone in the cinema not alone and how did that the the outfit ever the ballot Anya achieved that nobody should be alone and what does it mean that previously they were alone and specifically the teacher was alone and the students were alone they say that skill is hitting the target that no one else can hit genius is seeing the target that no one else can see you have some people but all shape in the East at all the heads of the Jewish people why they called the heads because just like the brain is the nerve center for everything that happens in the body they're the focal point of college at all and they're like the heads they're the highest point they see the farthest and like they say it's lonely at the top right what does I mean it's lonely at the top imagine you see what nobody else sees imagine you're that's Adak and you can see things that nobody else can see you know what that feels like to not just lonely that's a moment that nobody can relate to your perspective because you see things that are just totally not Shia it's not possible for regular people to perceive and and understand and comprehend and so you're very lonely and the students for their part they're also lonely because they know that this teacher who they they love and they're attached to has more to tell them but there's no way there's no bridge there's no common language so the teachers in his world the students are at their world and never the twain shall meet what did the outfit have accomplished why do we say specifically was the alternate who achieved that now the debe is not alone in the cinema not alone now that ever came along what did he innovate see this Chabad he took played us about sham to the teachings of the holy baal shem tov and he presented them in a style called how bad karma bina das what does that mean that the out that ever took panini eSATA side a satire he took the deepest to the deep the mystical secrets and he put it in Habad and Hofmann had us in the mud even in intellect no that means the altar that they came up with the translation for infinity he came up with a lexicon with terminology whereby the infinite unknowable could be translated into everyday language that normal people could learn about and be connected to ideas that it used to be that only very rare individuals could ever see so rebbi shimon started by teaching a circle of students in fact they called them the circle the ether a novel was the big circle the more exclusive group was the result of the small circle and each generation there were students who are those who were initiated in kabbalah in the deeper secrets of the theta and even in the times of the Baal Shem Tov and the maggot when there were more barriers of dissemination broken through and as soon as became even more available there was still one more barrier that barrier was that things that are so lofty generally you approach them with faith which is how the Baal Shem Tov connected to all the simple Jews not through intellect but through faith sinful faith came the alte Rev and he said we can take the things that are normally considered to be off the scale of intellectual achievement and things that we normally only approach through simple faith and you know what we got a way to explain that stuff too and now the nethers not alone is cinema not alone that which the Nazi Nazi is the word means the leader but also means the one was uplifted like no say the parsha Nazi needs to lift up that now there's a language through which we can have that perspective what does that mean simple simple simple down-to-earth what does that mean you means it used to be that there'd be one person in each generation who would worry about the world and everybody else would worry about themselves now we see this Chabad especially the way that ever taught it every individual is supposed to worry about the world bring healing to the world not to fix people we said that after six people but to fix the situation the biggest situation that needs fixing was shame to Macalester Lake nemi Shimon himself set the in godless the Sheena Hashem's presence a shame in South Korea who is languishing in exile not just the socio-political exile the metaphysical exile and every one of us has a role in fixing that situation you have been digging from the Alfa Devon yeah the old big [Music] I'm uh affirmative [Music] young [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] ah [Music] said earlier song Hilton saw that we said the song just goes in a circle Vista parts one part leads it to the other the negative the Mirage was actually used to had the name Nigam in sight that's cuz really that's what a thinking isn't just you mean it was the original this is the song that never ends it just goes on and on gotta look we got a little since the video we can going right we're over time right no Nam no no no you got it right advice [Music] how does look at the latest on that one good enough [Music] [Applause] ah I [Music] Oh I [Music] I [Applause] [Music] can't make a request before we really we have to ever come on this Elias has to go to Toronto it's a different country you know you know where Toronto is hmm Canada it's a different country you have to go through customs immigration okay so one more women we're gonna ask Kelly to help us with one more Newland I heard everyone with the you know halo ever you know what the it sounded good so it sounded good everyone singing along so how about well do you know who the Shmuel is a there was Bella's a that was one of the students in the Baal Shem Tov as well as the Margit and in fact he's mentioned in her yen game what is the Hemant say about Shmuel Azalea then when he met the mouse jumped if he was a child Shem Tov touches touched his heart and from that time on he became warm he became a warm Jew and it says of it anything it's ad that says or does any movement of its Isaac should leave an impression for the rest of your life that's what happened - well is it he became warm dust from the Baal Shem Tov's touch when he was a child so how do we do cold by yaar which means a voice in the forest Ali will sing the hard parts and will sing the fun part okay that's why I bring this guy with me does the heavy lifting 7:17 I remember the other with your front repeats in Yiddish and then somebody started to sing it in Russian translation sorry and either even though the words or he all of a sudden he had a solo and he got China stopped singing but ever says came from people is in neatly feathers from being no song and come from being yet humble and sure there's a deeper meaning what's the simple manner simple meaning is when it's time to sing you know that doesn't sing Kumbaya a voice in the forest there's no English translation tomorrow that's been that and into the word of today it's that basically a song about any it's a conversation between a father and son where the Sun is calling out to the father's looking for and searching for it and and the father is answering my children my son wherever you go why are you you know so that they're both they lost each other and the son says that the father is lost and the father says that the son is lost and that's the theme of the song the refrain the negan part is [Music] that's the part that's our part okay hi-yah yah [Music] hi [Applause] I got my ah [Music] my my my my my [Music] oh yeah oh my my hi [Applause] [Music] ah yeah [Music] you [Music] I yeah [Music] yeah [Music] yeah [Music] this is the final Megan this is it this is it nothing after this I'm putting my foot down see if everyone knows is that if anyone know this does everyone know this like this I don't have a good voice but like Ellie said it's time to sing don't be shy no no no don't applaud help me out here how's it go in a mai tai how's it go [Music] - I thought of finagle he taught us Rabia Luffy modo yeah someone teaches you anything the Michigan picker always says you have to call them Rebbe you have to call them your teacher Ali taught us this we all have it we have something to take away have an eagle to take away from afar bragging the enigmas forever we're walking down the road wherever you go you know go back to school and you're walking down the street and you just start needing to come back to you the people think you're crazy they'll see you're singing maybe a teacher to somebody else and then one less person will think you're crazy water fish em okay thanks Tyler
