miraculous redemption from mitzrayim that is stories and undertones not only for them but lessons and messages for now partial perspectives for today that when we are in our own gullah so we are suffering in our own exile when we've lost our own identity in our own way that we can tap into these ideas these messages and we can find our own redemption our way out we could step out from the darkness into the light we find ourselves in those places of mitzrayim of mazar that's constricted that it's tight that we feel as if we are uh hopeless and helpless that we too can be rescued and saved yeshua's hashem karaphay and the koshborgh of the almighty has a plan sometimes just get out of his way and let him do his thing and let him get us to the promised land of where we need to be okay page 366 begins it happened when power sent out the people what do you mean by he is the lotion of simcha what is the what's going on over here so para escorted us out what does it mean para escorted us out it's the opposite by he is a lotion of a void of sadness power was said he's escorting us out what's going on we've spoken all about that in the past did not take us the most direct route he did not take us out in the easiest or most direct fashion because kikarovo hashem said what's going to happen the people would consider when they see war when they run into conflict when they run into tension there are people who see a wall and they run right through it they go over it they go under it they go around it but they will not be stopped from getting to the other side of it and they're people a slave mentality a slave nation a group of people who've been persecuted and oppressed who when they run into that conflict and that tension they don't have what it takes they don't have the physical and they don't have the emotional and they don't have the spiritual fortitude and tenacity to run in or through or over or around who's worried they're going to go back they're going to go back to mitsura and that you read this pasuk and we've again spent time on this in the past not for now but you can't help but ask and wonder what do you mean go back to mitsrayam 210 years slavery persecution torture murder you're gonna go right back how could it be who in their right mind would contemplate or entertain returning and going back to that life and to that lifestyle and yet do we not all go through that kid karofu it's the easy way out it's the easy way out it's what's comfortable it's what's familiar it's what we know we go back to habit and pattern we go back to lifestyle choices we go back to eating and we go back to sitting still and not exercising or moving we go back to impatience and anger and arrogance we settle right back into the pattern we knew even though it tortures us and even though it sabotages us and even though it oppresses us and even though it denies us success close it's familiar to what we know it's what we intuitively and instinctively are familiar with and it's what we do and it's what we do the author of calm weighs in on this they saw miracles they saw an experience they didn't read about they didn't hear about they didn't commemorate they didn't memorialize they experienced unprecedented and unparalleled miracles the revelation of hashem with ten marcos ten plagues so now they ran into the eleven they ran into a conflict they run detention they see war they don't believe well hashem has gotten us this far he's made miracle after a miracle to get us here until now so of course he's going to continue of course what do you mean they turn around so the author of cam says you see you see that in our own mind in our own intellect how easy it is to lose our way the human mind and the human psyche in so many ways is so incredibly weak and we need to know that and we need to be prepared for that and we need to be mindful of that never can or should any of us swell with arrogance that i got this not a problem i've conquered it i'm in control the human psyche of the human mind is so weak so feeble so fragile kikarovu that when it's close and it's familiar we can easily slip right back so we think we've conquered we've conquered that addiction we've conquered that habit we've conquered that instinct and we think that we can move on ki karofu as long as it's close as long as it's available we can so easily slip right back and that you see from claudius they experienced miracle after miracle they had every reason to run as far away from israel as possible and to rely on lean and hashem and yet they remained vulnerable um this is a big theme in the recovery world and recovery program the moment you think you've conquered the moment you think you've moved it into conquered territory and you're no longer on the battlefield the moment you think i'm done i'm in charge i'm in control is when you are the most vulnerable it's when you are the most vulnerable if a person hasn't really worked out the underlying cause of why they're going through that behavior or why they're filling the hole in their heart with that substance or that acting out or that addiction then the moment you run into hard times the moment run into tension the moment sometimes go your way then we fall and slip right back into those old patterns and that's why we see the recidivism rate we see people who repeat sometimes egregiously sometimes in a very large way in a consequential way and sometimes for all of us at small things we go back to our old eating habits and patterns we go back to our old reactions and responses we go back to our old paranoia or anxiety because we haven't really worked it out we're not really strong and we let down our guard and we let go thinking that we've conquered kigama with this that the wise person is always vigilant the wise person is always on guard the wise person never feels that they've arrived but the fool the fool let's go and moves on the fool thinks that they are done we have to be always mindful and cognizant always aware and awake always realizing the struggle is never over as long as we're alive and we're here on earth maybe we're doing better maybe it's less of an urge maybe we've developed better strategies how to overcome it but we have to be vigilant kikarov as long as available and close when we see muhammad what's milk it doesn't have to be a literal war it means you go through a hard time you had a hard day it means that there's tension around you means there's people who are mistreating you it means that you feel an injustice has been done to you so you could if you're not careful and vigilant if you're not strong and prepared will slip right back into those into those patterns let's keep going next possible so hashem turned them to the way of the wilderness they went the root of yamsuf instead of the most direct route there's such deep messages by the way simple messages you may be sitting here saying tell me something i don't know so far you haven't said anything great they're simple messages but they're deep and they're profound and they bear repeating over and over again took us to secure his room you know the gemara says emphasizes this we'll call tanya a little bit later too a beautiful inside of the balatania the bartania says sometimes the long path was just short or the short path which is long the short path which is long means you know i i we can understand this in our time because we have ways we have ways my daughter picked me up the airport yesterday i said put on waze to get home you don't know how to get home from the airport how many years do we live in there i said i don't understand you got an eye in the sky that can tell you if there's traffic if there's an accident where the police are as long as i leave montoya circle i put on ways you want to know if you could have that information that knowledge why wouldn't you use it but there are some stubborn people who still insist on not putting on ways and denying themselves information that can be helpful i don't really get it i don't really understand it and then there are people who put on waze and waze tells you to take some kakamemi route it's happened to me it's happened to you you're zigzagging inside streets you're going out of the way all together so there are two types of people there are the people who stay in ways we trust i've made the mistake of taking her on before i was wrong i'm gonna listen and there are people who say ah i don't know why it's sending me this way totally out of the way i've driven this way a million times i know exactly how to get there and it's smooth sailing for three minutes then they get stuck in traffic that's not moving it's a standstill and who's smarter in the end why did you not listen to waze it's got you're just looking from down here well you can see the street in front of you waze is an eye in the sky it's got a higher perspective it sees much further and farther it's telling you what to do and what not to do so what happens sometimes that kakamemi out of the way secured as long root is a shorter way of getting there and what looks like the shorter route well looks like it's right in front of you and very close by is going to take forever it's very far and that's what the torah is telling us here in the beginning that's what the torah is telling us who took us this kakamemi circuitous out of the way root and anyone in the midbar who had ways simply went on you ever have a driver you have an uber or a taxi but you put on ways on your own phone because you say why are we going this way so imagine you're in the mid bar and hashem says make a left make a right this is the way we're going and some wise guy in the back puts on waze on their phone and says i don't know who's running this show but i don't know why we're going this way there's a much more direct way to go it's a much faster way to go because deals like ways he says yeah you can go that short way but it's much longer or you could take my long way and it's going to be much shorter and this is a message a lesson it's a symbol of life in life sometimes it feels why are we taking the circuit as root why did hashem take me on the circuitous route to find my best shared or to have that child or to earn that parnessa why do you take me on the circuitous route for whatever is my goal or my ambition or what i'm trying to do why are we going so out of the way i see a direct path so why are we going so out of the way so we need to know sometimes sometimes the circuitous route is the most direct fashion and sometimes if you try to make a shortcut and you try to go that short way it'll take you out of the way and be forever because doing this for the sake of call you searle here it seems circuitous and out of the way but it was the most direct route and we use the last of elo what does the word mean he turned us out of the way what is that reminiscent of where do we commemorate that notion of save even the most indigent poor impoverished person cannot eat on saturday night until they're reclining until they're lying down in other words we come to the seder table the seder table is set with our fine china and our silver it's beautifully set and we lie there with our cushions and our pillows and we dressed in our finest and we sit like princes and princesses and aristocracy and royalty and vayassa there's a mitzvah who's obliged significant dignified women all of our notions do you do a save in front of the arabia not in front of your arabic all kinds of discussion of the seva classic brisker lumdas it says in dallas or is there a parallel separate mitzvah all together is it that the way you drink the wine is while reclining and if you don't recline you didn't fulfill the myths of drinking the wine or no drinking the wine is a mitzvah and independent but parallel to it there's a mitzvah to drink it while reclining all why am i bringing it up by assad because of zayndal epstein we've been quoting a lot from zanda labstream from zade elephants sometimes you didn't even know someone you never heard of them but when you start learning the torah you feel such a connection your torah speaks to you his torah speaks to me from yeshiva's torah or so he has a safer called arose two volume this doesn't come from a safer it comes from the sith which quotes from his faith it comes from the notes of his students you see it's important to take notes students that take notes sometimes that's what preserves the original thoughts of teachers we say the leptins that's ah so he said the following incredible episode why does hazal connect his cue play on words hashem took us a securities route via save so cute play on words it's the same shoresh from here we learn that just like hashem took us out of the way so too even the ani oh why does the mishnah say even the poor person has to do a saba because i might have thought who should do a saba if your income levels over a certain bracket that's you do a sava if you can afford it if you drive a certain type car if you wear certain type clothing then you can recline like a rich person because taco you're a rich person your net worth testifies that you're entitled to recline but you're on tom your children are getting scholarship at school you're on the news adjustment you need a little help and a little handout who are you fooling you're going to sit at the seder table and you're going to put on your kettle and you're going to recline and you're going to lean and you're going to say all right in your own mind who are you fooling for that night who are you fooling what a charade so now the mission says i feel israel i don't care if you don't know where pesach lunch is coming from all you have is the seder that's all you know it doesn't matter how poor how indigent you are say it or not all are equal say tonight you're a rich man saturday night you recline with everyone else and where do we learn that from us to which election says huh that's where you learn that from beautiful idea beautiful puzzle one has nothing to do with the other what do you mean that's where you learned it from where do you see that from here so listen to what he says there's an incredible incredible principle maduro could have screamed at them and said hey man up i've done miracles for you you bunch of in great non-stop complainer miserable fabisla ice virus listen man up you've seen miracle after miracle after miracle 10 of them and now you're going to fetch and complain and not trust me now you're afraid and you're worried seriously my sunshine would say seriously if i'm very bonus i did ten i suspended the rules of nature never done it before we'll never do it again you saw you lived it you're the beneficiaries of it and now you're worried and complain and i've got to cuddle you and take you out of the way instead of smacking you figuratively and saying and saying what are you kidding me seriously but coach brocco doesn't do that he doesn't say what are you worried about why are you afraid man up you've seen miracle after miracle don't you know by now you have no reason to be afraid i want you to teach you something we're going to take a securities route and everything you go through in life every challenge every obstacle every moment of tension every time you wonder why why do i have to experience this i sit and i wonder why why is the world doing this to me why are evil looking people doing this to me why is nature doing this to me why why is this my root why is this my journey in life why you need to know that plan is you think that whatever you're going through whatever tension whatever obstacle whatever someone's put in your way whatever the world whatever nature's put in your way you think it's there to stop you to slow you down to make you go backwards it's the opposite this is a curriculum of education for you you're going to learn you're going to be tested and you're going to realize something in yourself that you otherwise never would have come to know you're going to have a moment a growth spurt this is what you need this is by design for you it couldn't that wouldn't happen if hashem didn't will it and for whatever reason you need to go through it because this is going to raise you up we don't understand it now necessarily you see on waze when you ignore ways and then you're sitting in standstill traffic or you thought you knew the best route so you went the way you always went and then you find yourself sitting and stuck and now late and agitated and now you put on waves and you go oh i see that 200 feet in front of us there was an accident the car stalled and if we would have just gone around the block we would have been the wedding on time instead we'll be sitting here for an hour till it's cleared why because we didn't go on ways so in this world we have the benefit of going on ways i don't i don't get a piece of waste by the way i don't get a cut i don't get any action from it i get nothing from it i'm just a big fan i'm a big fan of embracing the gifts that we've been given so in this world you get to go on ways and you get to see oh this is why i'm stuck and that's why it sent me on that way and if i go on that way i can avoid that issue and really this was for my own good in this world we get to live that way and in real time in real time you can go on and see and learn and understand in life it's not so simple unfortunately in life in real time you sit and you wonder why why am i not moving why am i stuck why am i in this fender bench why did someone hit me why am i hurting why am i going through this in life we sometimes get stuck but we need to equally be confident and know that maybe it'll be in the next world maybe in this world we'll understand oh this was the fastest route did this for me this is what was meant for my good my benefit this was a growth spurt um the poor person sits and reclines that night because the poor person says i am rich in my poverty if this poverty was meant for me if this challenge of poverty is what i have to go through because it's what was meant for me that i'm rich and that i'm experiencing it and where do i know that from where did i learn that from how can i be so confident that this circuitous route how can i be so confident that going through this experience of getting out of the way in life of feeling like it's taking forever that really that's what's right for me that's how we learn it the poor person sits like a rich man that night because even in the experience of poverty and poverty doesn't just mean with money there's all kinds of other poverty i think i mentioned that last week i don't remember if it was in the particular another sheer but i mentioned the quote that i love the nebac there are some people who are so poor that all they have is money there are some people so poor that all they have is money there are billionaires who are poor indigent impoverished individuals and there are people who don't know where their next meal is coming from who are rich and who are wealthy who have happiness and satisfaction who have knocked us in health who have a perspective and an attitude you could have nothing and be wealthy you could have everything and be poor so the only that night who struggles with poverty the rest of the year comes on pesach saturn night sits down and reclines not because it's a charade not because they're faking not because they're going through emotions but because for that night they realize that this poverty this root of poverty is my wealth someday maybe i'll understand how or why and if i won't it's still true nonetheless and how can they have that confidence how can they know that because of eloquent we learn it from the answerville comparative gimmo power will save the children of israel they're imprisoned in the land they've been locked despite being smacked ten times despite losing his own firstborn despite seeing his own country incredibly incredibly uh devastated power nevertheless his heart is hardened but he chases us again the torah doesn't leave it as uh you know it's a guess it tells us itself why did hashem orchestrate this why would hashem harden paul's heart to make him be a madman to do something that's actually insane after being smacked ten times after suffering and struggling after reading on the brink of a implosion of your own empire to continue to chase the jewish people even now why why the admits because i want them to know i continue to want to educate them with this curriculum i want them to know okay keep going next page so they're they're chasing them and clients all panic they panic again despite everything they've been through they panic and our rabbis are critical of them for this is critical of them for this a lack of gratitude a lack of mindfulness a lack of mindfulness he says our forefathers in egypt they weren't mindful that's an indictment of the jewish people in mitzram they weren't mindful what's the indictment that they weren't mindful you just had a miracle happen to you and now you're panicking already why didn't you learn from it why didn't you grow from it why didn't you gain confidence from it why didn't it change you why aren't you transformed by it you're not mindful and you know hazard tells us that they come out the other side of the absence and you know what kaiser will say yeah they thanked him we're going to get to that in a moment they thanked hashem you know what else they said hashem you couldn't have done this without making my shoes muddy actually that's what they say you couldn't have done this without making my shoes muddy seriously feel the rebound seriously i just split the city 12 columns you walked right through it on dry land then you watched it collapse and drown your oppressors and then their money washed up their bitcoin came into your hand and you're worried about your shoes seriously it's like someone has a heart attack on the side of the road a person comes and rips open their shirt and does cpr and gives them mouth-to-mouth and gets back a heartbeat the person opens their eyes and says my shirt it's my favorite shirt really you could not button it seriously [Music] you know what our forefathers the door there is a lot to learn from them but they weren't mindful they were anxious and they panicked and they were ungrateful and they didn't appreciate and that's what they took out of this was they were complaining about the mud on their shoes seriously this shirt has been brought to you by the word seriously seriously it's mind-boggling it's absolutely mind-boggling so they panic they panic and they begin to complain and we talked about that length in the past we're not going to get into right now i could paint the picture for you because we can imagine it until today everybody on the bank of that sea is sitting and talking and criticizing why'd you take us here we should have gone the other way i told you to go the other way i told you to turn on 10 10 wins and find out if you take the west side highway or we should take the fdr drive i knew it there's always trap they're fighting should have gone this way should have gone that way we should have nephilim never remember 80 statements israel which is mind-boggling are you kidding how could it be 80 percent of qualified didn't get it it's an unfathomable statistic they didn't get it one-fifth left twenty percent left it's it's a it's an unfathomable statistic except the question is we have to ask ourselves are we in the eighty percent of the twenty percent coach borg has opened up here to throw actually technically even opened it up again now for us and we're still sitting here in gullis are we in the eighty percent of the twenty percent who aren't leaving something to think about but it's not just true physically it's true metaphysically it's true metaphysically there's an error when people create campaigns and you get messages from all over and you realize how many people who are disturbed in their thinking how many really troubled people don't get it that hashem about his torah about life you know it's amazing that 20 get it it's a miracle of 20 left they believed they took that leap they understood they got it it's depressing it's depressing so they panicked they panicked and they started to debate and they started to point fingers and they started to blame and one person actually got it starts to walk but before that before that hashem turns to impossible when he says don't fear what are you crazy you know what you experienced what you lived what you know what you should believe what you should be the poster people of and yet you're standing here panicking don't fear stand up hashem and see the salvation of hashem that he's going to do for you today he says because what you see in egypt today you will never ever see them again so stop being afraid and man up woman up his yatsu stand up arch your back and be worthy of the salvation of hashem because don't worry what you see here today he's not going to see again hashem is going to fight for you yeah hashem is going to fight for you you don't have to lash out you don't have to fight back you don't have to respond stay quiet you stay quiet hashem's got it he doesn't need your help your job stay quiet your job stay quiet let him do his work but hashem says to moshe matatakilai what are they doing dominating and screaming at me what are they panicking about they shall be so so again we're not going to get into this now but this is the the motto of the bumper sticker for the idea of establish of effort you can't sit on your couch and say i want someone to drop off a paper bag of cash i believe in hashem i don't have to work now you got to do establish if you're sick you can't say i'm just going to sit and say tell him and not go to the doctor if you're the doctor hashem created medicines vaccines and therapies gave us the tools in order to be a creator world where we can heal and we can help ourselves and it's a counterfeit false emuna again this passage deserves a lot of attention if i'll call you sir i say i am so confused i'm so confused i've been listening to five years of sitter snippets and i thought we're supposed to dive in what do you mean i should stop dabbling and start doing what happened to all to hillary circle and the hell and group and the main group and the bracha group and the citizen of the group and that what do you mean i don't understand aren't i supposed to daven aren't i supposed to be taught that whenever i run into trouble my instinct should be to open it to him open the sinner use the words of david and david hashem says close the talent close the sitter what are you doing mata take a lie you saw start walking what are you doing what are you doing so this balance of establish when do you open the sitter and when do you close the sitter there's a lot to say we have said it in the past i'm tempted to go back there but i'm not going to right now instead let's look at this says something wonderful as he always does his your site was just this week do you think moshe albania was just telling them then this was not a message for klaus thousands of years ago on the banks of the sea it's a message to you and to me it's a partial perspective for today altiro whatever you're going through health-wise relationship-wise paranasal wise whatever you're going through in life i'll tear oh don't be afraid to stand up strong have a backbone of a spine have pride have dignity yeshua's hashem and you'll see hashem's going to come through hashem is going to come through does that mean every sick person heals no never tell a sick person don't worry everything's going to be okay it's a horrible thing to say you don't know don't give false hope only kurdish bargain knows whether everything is going to be okay we know that by definition everything will be okay because that's krishna who's will for us even if it's not okay even if a person does not recover from that illness but nevertheless hero we have nothing to be afraid of we have nothing to fear so says as fast as the following altiro the first episode here this is a curriculum foreign you ready just in which is trying to introduce doubt and uncertainty and fear that's what the atahara specializes in maybe this won't work out what if this is for the bad what if this will happen what if this will occur what if this will result what if this will that yet zahara is trying to convince you the what if game the anxiety game the anxiety game the atari introduces all kinds of doubts and uncertainties and question marks and worry and fear what are you doing healthy row do what you have to do get enhanced security for the event and that's it once you've done what you have to do you're good to go the great adversary of the rambam the rival has a safer balayan effect she didn't only and he writes in the introduction to the bali and nefer she says that his book is means those who contain a soul he says you know from whom my book is written my book is targeted for le muslim to those who control their consciousness and not to those whose consciousness controls them it means have a spine have a backbone be firm be in control be in control number three if you don't panic or fear that you live in the moment and you quiet voice of doubt and uncertainty you stand up straight with a backbone and a spine with pride with dignity with honor with confidence then then you can long to see that that salvation then you the only way to succeed in life is to realize that we can't succeed on our own the only way to succeed is to submit to a higher power the only way to succeed and have a spine and have confidence in anything is to attach ourselves to the one who is in control to the one who is in charge to the one who can make us whole that is our that is our mission he says the strength of the it's ours to try to confuse us and complicate things that really should be simple try to bring us down and introduce doubt try to make us panic and we worry he writes us your biggest enemy in the world is not making videos or posting messages or offering threats your biggest enemy in the world is not the corn chips and the potato chips your biggest enemy in the world your biggest enemy in the world is in your own consciousness it's in your own mind the biggest enemy that we battle and face are not external to us are not the forces that oppose us but the biggest enemy writes away is that while we're sleeping it's awake and we ignore it it's paying it is constantly at work trying to introduce doubt where we were certain it's trying to offer it's trying to offer confusion where we were clear it's playing with our mind so his yachts will stand up have a backbone be clear be absolutely clear be clear have clarity of clarity i was dominating last night over something late at night a decision i had to make about how to deal with something so i just want clarity just help me have clarity just give me the confidence i could go this way could go that way you could argue for either side of what's the right thing to do just give clarity and then i saw something inside coach both who sent me a message maybe we'll get to it i said oh there it is just gave me clarity i slept like a baby i woke up strong like a lion this yatsu could have a backbone have a backbone don't be a jellyfish why shouldn't you be a jellyfish whatever the world's throwing your way it should make you want to cower hide under the bed be a jellyfish the answer is don't be afraid so stand up have a backbone have a spine have confidence why because hashem because you believe because you know nothing is chance nothing is random everything's by design everything's from hashem everything's for a reason everything's a message this is all part of the circuitous route it's all part of the out of the way it's all part of the long journey which hashem in his infinite wisdom for some reason believes not beliefs hashem in his infamous wisdom knows that this is the shortest path but this is the way forward that this is what we have to do not surprisingly has something to say about this too where's where'd he go there he is he says the following there's a word which keeps repeating itself in this puzzle listen to this great ribbon listen to this motion tells the mother don't worry it's you stand still why see yeshua's hashem in salvation going to see them again so what's with the haiyom today okay we know it's today it wasn't yesterday it's not tomorrow it's today why do we keep repeating the word today today today today twice in this pasta i got it i knew it was today before you said it was today and once you said it was today i don't need you to say the second time so why does the puzzle repeat the word allah is being in today i just walked somebody out of shiva before this year somebody who lost their wife somebody or the wife lost their wife the life partner somebody who defined their life the last several years by caring for her entire life and i say this to everyone walk out of shiva rahman islam i say right now your mind is racing how are you going to transition your entire life your entire day your entire everything was caring for that other you only know them as your other half understood the most devastating loss to lose your other half another piece of yourself how will you carry on how will you redefine yourself what will tomorrow and next week and next month what will your children your grandchildren's simchas look like what will be and how you retire and where will you go and what's going to happen on pesach and what's your mind is taking you there your job is to get to the end of today every day is a rev you confront real problems not the narashkai problems that i'm alluding to this whole year which are nourished kind of nourish guy it's people with real problems real problems challenges to fertility into pregnancy and to show them bias into children real health problems real monish real pro real problems and what happens your mind wanders what will be what's going to happen will this child ever get married will they ever graduate school will this pregnancy result in a healthy baby what will be says that's the it's a hard working diet sahara is trying to make you forfeit the moment to start thinking about tomorrow our mission our job as jews is hayom to be in today to get to the end of today what do i need to do today what's my job today what do i have to get done today and when our mind when those thoughts knock on the door and say let me in to start thinking about next week and next month and next year and that's next decade no i'm not letting you in because that doesn't get me anywhere because that time has not yet arrived there's nothing i can do about it my only job is today if you start thinking about the future now again it doesn't mean and i are not against planning for the future of course we're planning for the future we learn from the past and we live in the present that we have an eye to plan for the future i'm not suggesting well i don't i don't save any money because i went to the parish and they said don't think about tomorrow just spend today that's not what i'm saying you should buy health insurance and disability insurance you should save for retirement of course you have to have an eye to the future but we can't get lost in the fear and the anxiety and the worry about the future because then it becomes overwhelming it becomes a burden that you'll collapse under and you'll have yayish you have to spare if you're able to not get lost in the future but be present in today then the first benefit you'll have is that you're not worrying and you're not afraid of when you spend today worrying about tomorrow there are two problems number one you're worrying about tomorrow it's not here yet and number two all that time and energy that went into worrying about tomorrow you forfeited and you surrendered today you lost today so you were a miserable lunch date you were a miserable person to be spending time with you were a miserable colleague or co-worker or spouse because instead of joining today instead of getting done what you need to get done today instead of being present today you were debilitated by tomorrow so you didn't help anything about tomorrow and you lost today but if you could live in the hayyom and this is a big russia later you see the word hayom is repeated over and over and over again throughout all sacred devotion that if you live the colossal you'll hear hashem's voice if you're lost in tomorrow if you're thinking about tomorrow then you're going to miss today you won't hear hashem's voice to you today hashem is speaking to us each and every day we have the ability to hear him today if we're present in today you ran around so excited yo told the whole world post it online the chef's coming today and then today pastor became tomorrow and the chef didn't come he came with a complaint he said what happened where were you saying i didn't tell you i was coming today i was telling you how to bring me and the way to bring me is hayom if you live in the moment if you live in the day right this is the secret to success to happiness to tranquility to peace of mind if we're able to not live in tomorrow but to live today then you can live with manuka if we're able to experience with tranquility with serenity with peace of mind today for it to be present in today if we can do what we need to do at the end of today and that's what it means hashem is going to get done for you today what you need to get done today ah but what about tomorrow and next week what about the bigger problem what about the next problem relax is if you can live in today you'll never see them again because you need to get done we need to get done what is our mission what is our responsibility hayom for today for today okay i was going to go through as yosh here but the truth is i can refer you if you listen to many many many sitter snippets as yoshi then you can have everything a pressure we went through word by word as yashir consider snippets many moons ago i'm not sure exactly what number to tell you it is to find it but if you go all the way back we spent many many many many sitter snippets on us yashya word by word line by line sentence by sense what does it mean what are we supposed to be thinking i'll just tell you what the zohar says zara says if you say az yasher every day and you say it then you'll merit to sing it in the world to come adds that if you sing shira with simcha then you'll be forgiven and you'll experience redemption just like the jewish people did in egypt and that's why we end sukita zimra we turn to kabbalah with azias and we sing it we don't just say it every day you should look around true you should see a smile on every face during azirshire because just like the jewish people then they were worried and they panicked for nothing don't be afraid yeah so have a spine have a backbone stand up hashem attempt be silent don't answer don't respond covered he's going to fight so basically have a smile with joy have the capacity to laugh to be basement hashem took us out of the triumph what should it say he saved us not from its right he didn't save us from america he didn't save us from iran he saved us from the iranians it should say miyad mitzrim why does it say al mitzrayim we've all been saying those words every day every time i say an insight instead of snippets that i didn't know before i say this is why sitter snippets is worthwhile not because i'm saying anything i'm quoting all these other incredible interpretations we're saying these words every day in the case of many of these words three times a day shouldn't we just understand it isn't it worthwhile to understand it so hashem saved us on that day says not by azur yazar means he helped us yoshi means it was all him he saved us he saved us by omaha on that day by the way what do you see again on that day tomorrow he'll save us again tomorrow and the next week will be another salvation that we need but for today by today just get to the end of today from whom did he save us i would have thought it should say miyad mitsuri but it doesn't it says it says because it wasn't just the egyptians that the jews had to be rescued from they had to be rescued from the culture of egypt you could take the jew out of egypt because you take egypt out of the jew so when khalifa saw the mitzvah drowning in the sea at that moment it wasn't only that physical oppressor that they were rescued from but they were rescued from an entire nation a people a culture an empire an idea it wasn't just miad mitsrim it was when moshe says to hashem show me your face why do bad things happen to good people hashem says you can't well you're running you can't see me and live and now we say ah not the jewish people saw him how could it be points out they didn't see him what does the public describe that they saw israel the closest we can come to seeing hashem is to see his guiding hand is to look back and understand events the way they unfolded and say wow wow his guiding hand in our family narrative and story in our collective narrative and story understand and study the six day war understanding and study the story of a community understand and study our own family narrative and history understand and look back in our own life and say wow that's the purest root but look where it got me and now i understand that it seems to make sense how it worked out that way so yeah our mission our job our responsibility is to go see and identify and then to sing about the arab dullah you can't see hashem directly as fast says the closeness we see is his dominion is providence we see and we feel and by the way when you see and feel that guiding hand you've seen hashem then you've seen hashem and you sing as a result and none of these singers or salvation points out the most famous passage arguably from which we learned the whole institution of hidden mitzvah zekely they stood on the other bank of that sea they saw the egyptians drowning they saw the spoils washing up everything made sense and they all became clear everything came together for them in that moment and what was the reaction they pointed zah zeke this is i i love him tell the whole world the story you have a what's happen you have a practice group you tell everybody so your friends are sick and tired of hearing about the story of what hashem did now worked out is the amazing thank you hashem i love hashem if you don't really feel it then you don't talk about it but if you really feel it zeke you point blanvayu aniva who you imitate him you emulate him you want to be like him you don't stop talking about him you don't stop singing his praises you don't stop singing his praises then shalom rabbit says according to zoar and others that if you sing then you experience redemption you're going to guarantee to sing it in the world to come why does it say behold so first of all it fits perfectly with arab nachman every day that day every day there's a shira for that day live that day sing the shira for that day salamar says a different voice he says everyone who sings shira every day there's some days it's easy to sing shira you're celebrating you got great news you got a promotion at work you did phenomenally well in the stock market you got a great lab report get a great result from the doctor sakshira skipping your step big smile it's easy it's easy but that's not what hazard promises they describe the person who sings shira behold you don't just sing shira on the happy days the good days the days there's clarity the days it all makes sense the days it all comes together you have to sing shira behol every day the good days and the bad days it all comes from hashem and we all sing shira and we feel that sense of shirt as yoshi why yoshi or not yes so much more to talk god is violent he's the god of violence he's the god of war he's a god of battling what does that mean many of the commentators throughout jewish history were very troubled by this sforno says even though he at times appears as a man of war who destroys enemies he's predominantly hashem even though it appears hashem is hashem it appears that way but it's not who he is a different idea he reads it listen the way there are about hashem is is hashem a man of war no hashem is his name it's a question and an answer can hashem be a person of war no hashem's essence is love and mercy his essence is love and mercy hashem ishmael nibbanal says what's the rule of the word milham we spoke about this we gave a talk about the jewish approach to eating and food we talked about because eating is a battle not for some for some they're blessed to not have to fight that battle but for others for many for most every time you sit to eat carbs it's a battle it's a war it's a war but here the bible says it in the positive hashem ishmael hashem is the one who provides hashem is the one who gives bread he sustains us he provides for us so all kinds of interpretations on this beautiful passage doesn't mean yes it means that sometimes a kardashian is quiet sometimes he goes to war sometimes you see sometimes you don't it's as well that it's foreign has a beautiful insight not for now let's keep going the end of us who is among the celestial beings among those who are mighty and powerful who is like you among the elim hashem among the majestic and among the holy me rashi says we're terrified to assess his greatness because whatever we say will be inadequate so we just say who's as great as you who's as great as you the ramban says he's great because of praises we praise him but first what kinds of interpretations but i want to tell you the gemara and getting the money getting is describing the time that russia the titus the wicked came in and at the gall the brazenness to perform all the most egregious crimes against hashem in the basa mikdash tito sarasota destroyed the besan unrolled the safer torah and defiled the kodasha kardashian with a zona with a harlot on top of the sacred torah in the kudisha kardashian he stabbed the parochus but he did it and you know what hashem did nothing he's quiet silence he did nothing krishna was all powerful almighty without any effort whatsoever could have ended titus could have stopped jesus could have responded to this but you know what he did he was silent and look at that and they say don't read it don't read it who is as great as you hashem among those who are strong who is as great as you among those who are mute but you'll name it is somebody who can't speak who is as great as you hashem among those who are viewed sometimes you respond and sometimes the biggest response is silence it doesn't take strength to yell to call names to hate to criticize to threaten to lie to slander to forge that doesn't take strength you know what takes strength to stay silent to stay silent is the biggest sign of strength to be strong is to be silent we dive in for it every day every day in our diamond without an eye to those who curse me enough to double let me stay quiet well let me have the strength to stay quiet it would be a weakness to enter the fray it's a weakness to fight back it's a weakness to respond and answer the strength let me stay quiet attempt stay quiet sometimes that person posted they texted they emailed they wrote they told your friends they told you off in front of other people and boy could you put them in your place what you know about them what you have on them what you could reveal about them shh boy could you put them in the attempt quiet just accept the insult the chariot of hashem has four legs like yakov and david why is david the fourth leg of the chariot yakov the patriarchs i understand that i get it why is david ahmad the first leg of the chariot so tell us because of the episode of shimmy bengara malek was walking with his antarashimi bengal cursed him from the sidelines his entourage those who were with the king wanted to respond by killing shima bengara king's antares could have taken him right out dubbing him off said keep walking there's nothing to see here and then they love him and say because the strength of character because exhibited the true strength which is to absorb the blow and keep on going and not respond that's why he's the fourth leg of that chariot that's our job and that's our mission that's what it means to emulate hashem that's what it means to be strong and to show that strength okay let's get started with the passion we haven't even started yet let's get in a couple more quickly bear with me i apologize the righteous women of the generation as there are in every generation and i'll just point out this rash as i like to do rashi was not writing apologetics when goldberg in 2022 top shin pei bay says the righteous women of the generation so the cynics and the skeptics say oh really this misogynistic goldberg and religion and rabbinic judaism are offering defensive apologetics about the women so we describe them as righteous how condescending when rashi was quoting they were not living at a time that they needed to offer apologetics you know why they said it because it's true because it's what we believe it's what we believe i once gave a share on i called that i think hazal's bias about women and then this year was a collection of 20 or so statements of khazal where they're biased in favor of women they knock the men and put down men and they talk about the righteousness and the greatness of women 2 000 years ago they wrote this in a culture where their contemporaries believed that women were chatting and they're writing about the righteousness of women and that only in their merit will be redeemed so rashidi writes moved these righteous women in metroid were so confident they knew hashem was going to make it work out they had a spine they had confidence they believed they lived with faith so much so that when they left with time you know what they packed way too many pairs of shoes but also but also they're instruments they pack their instruments if i'm the husband in mitzrayim and we've got a moment to leave and we're russian finally after 210 years of slavery the little of the few items we have and we're packing different families have different arrangements in my home i do the packing everyone lays their stuff out i have a misora my father's taught me my grandfather show them at a grocery store how to pack properly there's a there's a methodology to it it's very offensive it's lost on this generation right dad in publix they put the eggs in the bottom not the tights people don't know how to pack properly how to pack a suitcase properly it's like a game of tetris and people don't even know how to play it's terrible it's an avla it's an absolute afla so i pack so here's the here's what happens again i'm going to get in trouble later when i go home for being too revealing but here's the conversation every time i pack it's never a problem for me and shy but for others every time i pack it really this many shoes you know we're going away for one night right you know we're going away for this many outfits this many shoes this mat really so if i were packing and someone had their instruments i'd say seriously seriously the tambourine tambourine you know we're running for our life right now right you understand that after 210 years our slave death camp has been liberated and we're running for our life they're going to chase us seriously the tambourine so the answer said yeah the women turned to their husbands and said yeah seriously the tambourine because buddy while you're so nervous and worried and running for your life i have the manuka nephesh the peace of mind of the serenity i have the confidence the faith to see that hashem's got a plan and even though right now you're afraid and right now you're living in fear and worry i know that when we get to the other side we're going to be singing and dancing and you buddy you're going to be clapping your hands wishing you had an instrument to play but i'm going to have the instrument because i pack the tambourine and you see you see that the truth sad that rasheed describes these women that said kanye yoshibador the righteous person as a menuhasa nefesh s you don't get rattled and you don't get frazzled and you don't get afraid and you don't fight over what you pack you have a manuka nephesh to know what you need and to believe yeah seriously i'm packing the tambourine i'm packing the instrument because there's going to be a time that we're going to want to sing and dance so we're bringing it along we're bringing it together with us we're bringing it together with us the language in the rashi is that the zakarios of the of the of the door were moved what is the word they were sure how could they be so sure move tacos doesn't mean that they were sure it means they were made to be sure they were taught to be sure what do you see from here that they came from a missouri this came from the source this beautiful state of the situation sadly i think we'll end with this even though i had 15 more things to tell you so many more things to say but the safer says from the formulation of that language they were moved to house what do you see how did those women have the manufacture to in that moment into their husbands and say yeah seriously i'm tranquil and peaceful and serene and have peace of mind to know with faith and confidence that we're going to sing and dance i'm going to come out of this okay how did they have that because it was a masonry from their mother from their mother from their mother this is our responsibility to transmit not to transmit panic and fear and anxiety not to transmit paranoia not to transmit perseverating not to transmit debilitating our misogynist to transmit so that our daughters and granddaughters are mufos we transmit an aura and an environment and a climate a culture that when the going gets rough we stay calm peace of mind confidence attiro don't be afraid it's yatsu have a spine of a backbone pack the tambourine pack the tambourine but did you hear what they said and what's gonna happen and where we're going and we're gonna have to experience what we're gonna go through pack the tambourine i've trusted hashem it's gonna work out we're gonna be singing and dancing and i'm gonna be playing the music because i have enough faith to bring the tambourine what an insight mufta hosts from the latin from the grammar move they were made to be sure how could they be made to be sure because that's what they were taught that's their misora what's the minnesota in our homes do our children and grandchildren grow up where what they've learned is what's the old jewish joke about the telegram start panicking more details to come is that the culture start panicking more details to come or never panic this yatsuba was yeshua hashem stand up and see the salvation of hashem be among those who are moved the graduates of our home be confident
