Parshas Balak: Patterns of Jewish History - The Stunning Revelation of the Nachalat David

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com or parashas valak the gamara tells us from Seth to Magilla the gamara makes an observation about a unique phenomenon that claudiso enjoys and is unique to Chloe Israel something that is certainly not applicable to any other nations of the world and that is if we were to plug in a machine into Folly Israel or into the umai silam and we want to see what does our history look like in contrast to the history of the nations of the world so if we were to plug in our machine to the nations of the world they would be plateaued they would be Flatline in other words most of the histories of the nations of the world are pretty stable you don't have unusual success you don't have unusual failure usually the the uh the history of the nations of the world is pretty much stable and the same and yet if we were to plug in this machine into the history of Clydesdale we would notice very unusual a very unusual phenomenon and that is at certain times Clause experiences tremendous success financial success economic success social success political success there are times in our history that we've enjoyed financial success that no nation has ever enjoyed Spain America other periods in our history in Arizona where we were reach the highest levels of society politically socially and yet so we would see great Peaks tremendous peaks in our history and then on the other hand unfortunately we all know to be true we'd also see tremendous valleys catastrophes disaster that no Nation could even begin to hold a candle to the tragedies that Kalisto experienced why is it then why isn't why is it that we notice this unusual pattern of history when it comes to Clyde so that at times we are not the top of the top we've reached the Pinnacle of success the highest of the Heights and yet at other times we reach the lowest of the lows and the Commandments observes this phenomenon by the way the learning should be Lily for the family so the gemara observes this take a look in the September is speaking to Haman so zerish tells Haman right s is I'm rely n said um and said to him this nation it's compared to the dust and compared to the stars when they fall they fall to the dirt of Shane Island when they go up they go up to the Stars okay so the Gomorrah already is observing for us that this is fact that for cloudy so there's no such thing as mediocre or average either we're on the top or we're in the pits there's no such thing as if we were to analyze what where is claw Israel today where is Klein so in the year 1900 1817 either when the lowest of the lows or the highest of the highs there's no plateauing and the question is why is it why has God set up our history how do we explain this that either we're like dust or we're like stars if we would compare the nations of the world to something we would have to say they're like uh they're like Main Street they're like the the the streets they're like the sidewalk the sidewalk you know it's basically flat sometimes there are little few bumps in the road but basically the nations of the world they're like they're the wrong the road that you ride down on and Claudius throws either like the stars or the dirt why why is that in fact yeah and on the other hand Hashem also promised avraham that will be like the dust right so why why is that why is our nation either one or the other or the government look how the gemara puts it foreign the Jewish people are fortunate this man is when we do the will of Hashem of Allah no Nation could touch us we're Untouchable we're Invincible when the Jews do what they have to do they learn properly they dial in properly they have properly we're Untouchable of his mind and if we don't do what we have to do then moisture um then not only are we unsuccessful we are delivered into the hands of the lowest Nation to the hands of the lowest Nation the animals are the lowest Nation they'll rule over us very unusual the gamara's commenting either is invincible and Untouchable or were like the dirt of the Earth says she was collecting from between the pieces of uh galala right so why is that how do we explain that how do we understand that how our history has been set up that there are only two ways to operate either we could begin either we could be you know Forbes 500 list or we're on the most wanted list right either our picture is in uh Forbes 500 or it's in the post office right that's the Jews That's The Saga of the Jewish History either where the highest or the high or the lowest the low there's no in between there's no in between Grand they can't make it in either extreme they just live they just go on they go on they go on why has our history been set up this way so we come to a number of very unusual episode in this week's passion well look hires Villa and he says billum here's a job I'm going to pay a lot of money Chris Colley song so um billum gets up there to the podium you know he clears his throat he's about to give his inaugural Russia right so you can imagine billum was uh he was a good speaker he knew how to curse he was talented with his tongue so you could imagine his opening line right every speaker knows everything depends on the opening line you gotta either tell a good joke which right most people don't know how to do or right you see or you have to really shake them up you have to shake up the crowd you have to say something provocative to get the interest of the crowd or you have to capture their attention so billum probably in his opening line he's probably going to say something really interesting or really captivating listen to this listen to what Blum says raises up his Parable and he says got me from our rum so what's film's opening line Bubba got me from our um and bulk's looking at him come on you got to be kidding me I got you from my room really of course I got you from around I do you don't think I know that that's that's where I went to get you I just I sent an emissaries to get you and you didn't like it they weren't that covetic enough for you you said you know what for a guy like me I need a more uh a more respectable delegation so Bullock sent him a more respectable delegation I mean Bullock must be pulling his hair out here he hires billum for big bucks to carry out the job and what does boom say by the way you know where you got me from from Iran that's what you're telling you're giving me an address now I I knew exactly I looked you up in the white pages I Googled you and it says this is weird from Aram I know exactly where you're from and who cares where billum is from and if he would be from Brooklyn it would be different I mean what difference does it make why is this his opening line we all know that bug's thinking to himself uh I must have gotten the wrong villain this is the worst opening line of any gig you can imagine right and then he said like this Hashem look carefully from the tops of the Peaks I see him will make voice ashureno and I look at him from the Hills so this is very strange number is the primary disciple of the going the villain and tevel was the primary disciple of David wrote but he also wrote Russia is so first of all he wants to know if you take a look at number four in Russia base he says look in aleph he says why does he have to introduce his words with I come from Aram number two what's the difference between surim and surimar the peaks of mountains are Hills who are the mountains and who are the hills the mountains are the avoid sakitoshim they're the altikri I'm giving you your moment now uh Tyrone and the glass are what foreign [Music] these are the mothers just let's make one observation why when it comes to the others he says I see the heads of the mountains and by the hills he doesn't say the word she just says why is it it's of the mountains I see him and he should say um and for the heads of the of the mountains I see why why does he why by the others does it say Mirage and by the image it just says Omega Vice why does the word describe the others that's the second question Also let's go a little further he says who could count the dust of you is that a reason exactly why he can't curse tell yourself because he can't curse the dust of yahi can't count the dust of yaakov what is the dust of yaakov anyway what is that supposed to be referring to what is billum getting at what's his point what does that have to do with anything and then and then billum says billum says like this film says this is a nation that dwells in solitude and has no connections to the gayam why is that a reason not to curse guys so what's bellam's point over here what is the point of bilam harasha so these are a bunch of questions that are raised by the drociousness number one what is Bill I'm saying I come from Aram everybody knows where he comes from what does that have to do with anything especially he doesn't have to tell bollock that number two why when it comes to the The Harem does he says what is I'm not counted with the game and what's his point if I were to ask you how many fathers do we have three right don't make a mistake and say oh we have four fathers no right we have three forefathers right on you're only allowed to call three people are of us they ain't karanimous is my timer why can I can't we call more than three of us said in other words why are we saying why are we saying only three others what about zavulan what's wrong what's wrong with the volan why isn't one of our others why isn't he Saka why is it so the gamar says well maybe you can't call ruvena enough because you maybe you come from shiman you can't call shiman enough maybe you come from Ruben you can't call them others doesn't matter if that's the case then you can call you either because you don't know if you come from so the reason you can call Ruben and have is not because you don't know that you come from him because you see from limos you don't have to know that you come from that particular aim to call them a name says the mothers also we don't know you know why there are only three fathers you know why you don't call Ruben a father and a father up till yaakov if they were important Beyond yaakov if they're not that important anymore avraham was important yeah was important yako was important Sarah beyond that they don't have the same questions but one simple question over here the gamer is only addressing why those after Abraham are not of us what about those before avraham let's say I wanted to call why can't I call nayakanav well why can't let's I like Naya I like the name it's easy to say it's two letters he saved the whole world by the way there are only two people in the tire called sadik malish is not called at Sonic avram I I want no I have to be my ass no you're not allowed to what if I say you know what Mr shella I love that guy right he lived over 900 years right thank you exactly that's right he must have had a lot of fish oil right right yeah well he didn't die at the mama could you call me are you allowed to no have that shame how about shame are you like what did shame do for a living he didn't he's Russia guess what yaakovina what Yeshiva did he learn in he wasn't at brisk he wasn't impressed yeah he was in the Shiva shameda either shame is a rush of Shiva he taught yaakov everything so why can't shame be enough how is yaakov greater than shame a very important Insight what makes enough what is the definition of an Ave look at number six in the second paragraph sorry it's coming to exclude all the earlier Generations first I have to ask once you're down once you're sitting that's it please uh no walking in front of the camera thank you so the gamara says the Hema call us all ten Generations are out none of them are of us no no none of them are others they're out all 20 Generations none of them are others even though they're all righteous like Adam Chase was the only person in history who's so holy that his soul left his body and he turned into one of the Stars Abraham didn't do that you didn't do that yeah was perhaps one of the loftiest souls that ever lived and yet he's not enough says here's the main reason the main reason is what is a father a father is not just somebody who says he's not just somebody who pays your tuition a father is in the father included in the father kalol and the father is the kayak of the Ben the father contains in him the son the grandson the great grandson a father is someone who incorporates and under his auspices so to speak under his umbrella under his control under his ability is the Son and the grandson and the great grandson a father who does not contain in him the future Generations even if he physically is the progenitor of the future Generations is not a father a father is someone who is included in him the next generation and therefore Adam had in him avraham and that's it he didn't have in him grandchildren great grandchildren great grandchild you know why because by definition avraham avino cannot have children you know avraham was not just somebody who was incapable of having children it's not just you know Abraham was a little bit infertile it was very unlikely for him to have children because I'll say he was an akkar he was impotent could not physically have children because I'll say he was a symptom okay that means it was physically impossible sorrow yimenu was not just in akara sorry I mean it was not just infertile she was in akara but she wasn't just in akara like in in Ivana says sorry Nano Island an island is means she did not have a womb which means when if you were to look into the spiritual DNA of avraham there would be no children grandchildren and great-grandchildren therefore is tarah our father no we have nothing to do with Tara had it not been for a special miracle that God supernaturally allowed Abraham and Sarah to have children avraham and so would never have descendants why did the Revenge them do it that way because we banish him wanted us not to have any connection with Adam with Nayak with shame with missus with Shays with any of the earlier generations avraham and Sarah were a new creation the navi says about avraham I created avraham I was blurry avraham I it started I created him had it not been for the special Miracle avraham never would have had children if you were to look in the astrological signs of what avraham's future had in store for him the natural forces of the universe were such that avraham avino had no future it was impossible physically right every human being so to speak what's connected to another astrological force and avraham's astrological Force said this man is finished this man doesn't have any continuity until the rebound tells Abraham God lifted him above the astrological signs and he says you are not bound by them you are not tied down to them take a look at number 21 the plastic says about Abraham the second line or the theme in Russia all my lights leave your astrological signs always I will call you a new name and change the mazzle and then Rashi says another chat God lifted Abraham above the Stars he lifted him above the and he says look down in other words avraham you come from the source above and beyond the forces of nature so says David physically naturally avraham had no way to have any continuity in the physical forces of the universe there is no way for avraham to continue um we're in number six about 14 lines up where it says the nimsa him avraham and tarah and the generations before did not originally have in them the ability to procreate he raised avraham up above the forces of nature that Hashem raised Abraham above the sun above the Moon after he created them after there was no hope Sarah was right sir no longer had so now we understand why we could only call three people our fathers when Adam harishon other Marisha the first man if we were to look into other Marisha and see all the future Generations that would come from adoration we would only see 20 Generations in Adam harishon there were only 20 Generations what do you mean what about Claudia's Throne they were not there in Autumn we have no relation to other reason is not related to us he's not our great great grandfather neither is Nayak neither a shame neither is Tara we are not related to Tara why not we're not related to Tech talks are great great grandfather no in Terrace DNA was not the Jewish people only even in avraham's DNA there was nothing until God superimposed supernaturally miraculously the destiny of Claudia strong and therefore we cannot say tariffs Our Father cat has nothing to do with us 10 has severed the fact that avram cannot cannot naturally bear children made it out avraham was the beginning of the Jewish people and not just the beginning in a spiritual sense avram is our father nobody before him was our father because it was only after God took avraham and recreated him that put into him the Ben what's an AV an ad is someone who the Ben is in love when it came to Tara carliso was not in tariff but Claudia was in was in avraham so says and this will explain that let me explain to you why dafka bilum was chosen by Bach and the answer is if you want to harm somebody if you want to hurt somebody the best way to do it is the closer you are to them the more you could hurt them right they're A wise man once said no one could hurt you like your brother and no one could kill you like your spouse you hear this no one could hurt you like your brother no one could kill you like your spouse someone else said um the closer you are to somebody the more hurtful they could be physically emotionally spiritually you want to hurt someone you want to kill someone get their brother it's the closer you if someone is not related spiritually you have less of an effect physically you have less than effect emotionally you have less than left less of an effect right that's why when a sub comes a sub has two ways Yakov davins it's because that's why Ace of is so harmful there's a cloud there's a rule that The Closer someone is the more of an harmful effect they could have the gemara calls it like this like Mara says Naga from the forest itself comes the handle for the ax which means what cuts down a forest the handle with an ax that chops down the forest the handle of that ax comes from the forest itself saysren who killed Maya who destroyed Maya who is destroyed my off because he came from my who destroyed mathryan moisha why because Moshe grew up in Paris house you want to hurt someone you want to kill someone you want to destroy them let grow up under their nose their brother their spouse then you could really get them so balak wants to destroy Israel so he's thinking to himself how am I going to strike Lysol I need to get someone who's very close to them someone who comes from the same part of the world that they come from where does Kalisa come from avino come from around where did Sarah emmanu come from where did rivka come from where did Rafael came come from where did Leia come from avraham Sarah rivka Rockaway so bulk's saying I need a Russia that comes from Iran somebody who could trace himself back to the earliest roots of claw Israel he would be the perfect candidate to uproot them ah so he goes back he gets bilam what's bilam's opening line why am I the guy for the job The ancestral home of the Jewish people I could I'm a brother I'm a bra when the brothers your enemy you're in big trouble you're in big trouble that's all well that is billum's opening line we come from the same place right we come from the same city we and especially if we say like the Target that who was billum billum was none other than love on himself take a look at Target number nine this Shadow and he sent Messengers levas love on to love on arami who billum love on his billum billum is love on you got that yeah if you look in the menu yeah they're the different opinions some say he was the son of loving some say he was the grandson of Loveland some say he was the great grandson of lava some say he was the Guild of Lavon and some say he was Lavan now if he was loved on he lived 500 years remember I told you about the fish oil from Mr shella right so so in it so especially if you say that billum was love on ah so now I'll tell you a little secret that every single person in this room comes from oven you know do you come from Rock Hill maybe not you come from Leia no who knows we don't know but love when you definitely come from there's not one person in this room whose altogether was in love on their their opinions also that uh they were daughters from Love and from a different wife or from a pillage so now Bullock is not just getting stoned from our ancestral land he's getting our own relative by the way the Martian mcgilla points out that we know in your Maverick cedra you Lane the the sukim twice and you land the target once why what's the Indian why was tagum translated into Aramaic why Aramaic Aramaic comes from what country Aram you know why we're we hold the Arabic so dear the gomar is an Aramaic times in Aramaic because this is the language of arzade the Love on this is the language we spoke we grew up a Jews grew up speaking Aramaic from Love on love one would say you want to hear a story well nothing wanted to tell shim on a little story you say tashma right he would tell them uh right so therefore it is not coincidental that villain begins his speecha began his speech because he's explaining why he's qualified he's explaining his credentials before you start a job resume please the top thing on the resume is who does he have Smita from he where does he come I come from my room that is the first credential on his resume now for billum to be able to attack Claudia's realm it's not enough to attack them head on everybody knows you want to cut down the tree don't cut down the tree could always regenerate you need to uproot it from The Source you need to be oikurit from its source so billum billum is gazing not at the Jewish people he wants to uproot them from the source what's the source of the Jewish people the other side technician avraham so billum says hmm let me see over here where do I have an angle where am I able to uproot the Jewish people from well what's my commonality with them we both come from Aram who comes from Aram avraham Sarah rivka rachalaya he may rise to remarenu when it comes to the others it's me Rush it's only Avro come from Aram Yakov didn't come from Iran when it comes to the offices Kime rush through Moreno but we'll make a voice when it comes to the mice it's all of them when it comes to Turin it's May Rice when it comes to voice it's on that is why that is why if you look throughout pasha's balak every single thing that bilham does is specifically to counteract the others for example take a look in number 11 we know we know that villain um so Rashi saysura God says what do you think you're doing already beat you to it he woke up early for the akeda so what is this it's like a ping pong match it's like a boxing match avraham woke up early for the arcade Villa woke up early because Kai straw well it's like billum is coming to counteract yeah in order for billum to attack it's not enough head on he has to uproot he has to cut him off at the source he has to go connected the Ave the avraham avinu if you look in the marao the morale says avraham and bilam are counterparts avraham is the Royce Israelis and that's why he woke up early he Saddles his Donkey from his Hashem so too and he took imoi bilam did the same thing he woke up early he saddled his donkey and he took his this tuna arm that is why Rabbi Sai when bilam is coming to curse Claus Israel we find three different periods the first time it says billum as he's traveling on the donkey and there's the wall there he had room to go on both sides on the right side and on the left side and then as he's going a little further he had room only on one side and then the third and final time he didn't have room on either side take a look at Rashi number 13. foreign why did billum see fit to stand in the three places did they show him the first time bilam stopped he had room to go on both sides but they were showing billum is you want to attack you want to attack Cloud Israel you want to attack ISO from avraham avinu you have two ways to go either the angle you could take is you smile that's a weakness that's uh that's the the weak underbelly of Claudia strong that's the vulnerable point right that's the uh the Ishmael the killer seal or the benekotura those are the two sides you could take if you want to attack mitsar Abraham the second time film stops he only has zoom on one side that's like there's only one way to go ASAP but the third time he stops he can't go to the right he can't go to the left because all of his children were perfect and that is that is where bilam was headed billum understands and in order to defeat and attack he has to cut them off at the roots he has to attack them from their others in fact billum says to balak as shivasi I erected the seven Miss Vegas Rashi points out he didn't say Shiva Miz seven authors it says the seven altarashi that he said like this avraham built foreign one Jacob built two so Bill membolic said we were able to build seven just us alone we were able to build in this baseless corresponding to avra music why are they so hooked on average they're making a husband that means they learn to say vibrations they counted up how many Miss Vegas and they said we're gonna build as many Miss bakeries why are they so concerned with so throughout the whole story what you see is their idea their plan was the only way to attack laiso the only way to defeat them was to cut them off from their weak point to uproot them from their Source billum says I'm the man for the job Villamor on his name tag minarum that was you know that was his big ethos I come from Aram I'm no different than them I'm their cousin I'm their grandfather I'm their brother I'm love on I'm the Zeta I'm the man for the job I could do it so why was billum unsuccessful he is the man for the job he comes from our room so billum starts his Russia like this really I come from Aram really I should be able to destroy Khalid the truth is I see avraham he comes from our room just like me I should be able to get them umik voice they come they're my Lance men my Lance women that I should be able to attack them but you know what the answer is says we are not counted with the goyam what does that mean we're not counting with the gaim what does that mean we're not associated with the here was the mistake of bilam billum thought because I come from Aram I'll be able to attack lies so we're related the answer is we're not related to billum we don't come from our um you know why because avraham could not have descendants but miraculously supernaturally God superimposed upon him the ability to procreate so we when we look at avraham avraham was not in existence in Iran when avraham went to eres Israel he was born that day he has no connection to his previous existence that was avrum that was before God gave him bestowed upon and blessed him the ability to continue so we're not related to Tara billum thought he's a lance none of ours we both come from Iran bilam then realizes We're Alone we have no connection to the um we're not connected to them we're not related to them take a look and then look at number 19. hey um I have no relation to them because the descendants of avraham are not connected to his ancestors and are connected to Terrace you know we're we're the sky come from what we weren't in Tara produce Abraham in the future Generations so the answer is we come from a much higher source come from a completely different source and that is physically speaking avraham cannot continue but says review the third mouth he was a talmud of a talmud of the vulner's time it was um talmud he's called the peshly she is the third mouth from the going he really was mafar same and was marbets a lot of the image he writes like this every nation has its source in the celestial bodies in the astrological forces certain Nations come from certain stars are rooted in certain Stars others come from others but cloudy Israel has no constellation that we are rooted in in masalism there is no star there is no physical constellation that we are rooted in this question is if there's no physical constellation that we're rooted in then what is our source what is our what luminary are we rooted in we know every nation has to be rooted in some kind of luminary some kind of light source the nations of the world they have a certain light source that they're rooted in what is the light source of Cloudy soil says yes [Applause] our luminaries are Tyra and therefore avraham looks into the Stars and he says by the natural forces of the world there will be no claw Israel I am finished I'm over no more descendants we punish them lifted him up above the stars and he says you're a source of power comes from something above the shemaim above the heavens and that is and that is why says um when Cloud you saw are connected to their light source when cloudy so are connected to the Tyra we have unparalleled success unparalleled achievement financial success economical success social success when Cloud Israel is connected to the Torah what's greater Tyra or Mars or Venus certainly the light source of the Torah is much greater throughout history when you see success in Cloudy soil you know they're connected to their source fortunately when Cloud Israel has failure and disaster and catastrophe that's because there's no connection to their Source when there's no connection to the source they have no Source in the physical world by the laws of nature cloudy so should not exist all the masolas are against clown Israel all the forces of nature are fighting that cloudy so should not exist so if we're able to hop on if we're able to connect to the Tyra that's a supernatural Source we'll jump onto the bandwagon of the Torah now will carry us above the vicissitudes of nature but if we cannot connect to the Torah not only we're not going to be miserable we're not going to be unsuccessful we're not going to be low on the totem pole we can't exist the Jewish people cannot exude eight miles only Israel is a good thing and a bad thing it's a bad thing because if we don't have the Torah we can't exist and it's a good thing because if we do have the Torah we have unparalleled success so Bill y we can we can lose the Torah but if we let up our grasp of our connection to the Torah and observance and limonatura then we're letting go of life itself the nations of the world are rooted in the constellations constellations are always there the shamayim is always there the nations of the world they're constant they're Plateau they're flat lines they're no Peaks they're no valleys but Claudius Royal there is no mediocrity there is no average there is no just let's you know flow along let's just live a meteor if you live as a committed Jew and parallel success you live otherwise that is the source of life for the Jewish people tells Abraham your connection you are rooted in something unnatural there is no flat line for classroom so says billum I thought I would be able to attack them because I come from the same place as them were landsmen my right I come from our own they come from around no the Jewish people we Trace ourselves back to uh David and then to Yehuda and then to yakoi and then to avraham what about zaida Tarak if Tara could walk in the room he'd say oh my eight o'clock and you take them but we wouldn't give them a big hug we're not related to him we have no connection to Tara we're not related to Tech what do you mean he's our progenitor no no he's not our zaida he's not our father why not because in Terror was not avraham was not the future of clanson so therefore as a line that another reason why in avraham avinu originally Claus Israel was not and that is like this when avraham avina was thrown into the kitchen what should have happened to abrahimovino that should have been the end of him right burnt toast right you should have been uh burnt toast so when avraham emerged from the kivshan haish unscathed that was a new Bria that was a new creation that was a new existence for the Jewish people claudiso began then avraham prior to work as them was the son of terrac avraham after or qasim was like other mauritian it was like the first person who ever lived there's no connection between avraham before orkasm and after orkazam like the reviews for guys to cover rights look at number 22 and ice aleph foreign is not dependent on the forces of nature they're not dependent on natural existence they're not dependent on time and place should be awesome came into the world after complete non-existence who's the root of we where were we carved out from nivra Bria mamish anyone who's supposed to be burnt is like he's burnt and God saved him therefore he's not related to Tara you know who's related to Tara the avram that was thrown into the fire should have died he was related to Tara the avram who came out emerged on scape is a new person zabria kadosha no relation to his previous existence all his future descendants were uncontained in Tara uncontained and therefore while the history and the pattern of history for the nations of the world is pretty much plateau Nations come Nations go they eat at a living they feed their families so forth there is nothing natural about the existence of classical either Peaks or valleys when we embrace the Torah we have Supernatural existence we have unheralded success when we let up our grasp on the Torah then all the forces of nature say this nation cannot exist in the cosmos right if we were to look up into the heavens we would see 70 different constellations one would say Rome you know Italy exists France exists Britain exists America exists and we say hey wait a second I don't see any consolation for Claudius throw all the constellations are screaming out no how Israel there should be no clouds thrown all the forces of nature gravity E equals m c squared the expanding Universe all the forces of physics are screaming out what in the world is this nation doing here and there's only one answer that we are rooted in a source above and beyond the forces of nature and Rebellion screams out from shamayam don't touch him you're just forces of nature they come from Supernatural Force the Torah they come from a different luminary kineramics of a tiger are so the innate forces of nature say but what if they don't keep the Torah then God says if they don't keep the Torah get them go after them they have no right to exist but if Kai Soul Embraces the Torah varnisham says don't touch them they're Untouchable they're Invincible nobody can harm them that's what college Israel's existence Peaks and valleys we keep the tire off we're like the stars we don't keep the Torah we're like the dust there's no in between there is no in between that is why says a cover zeresh tells hamon you gotta watch out for these people they're like the stars and they're like the dust if they're being successful and they embrace the Torah nimshallah if they don't embrace the Torah they are offer that is why the gemara says in subas fortunate is calling us wrong when they do the will of God no Nation could touch them no Nation could harm them we have incredible power incredible financial success incredible security says the gemara then when claiso is not oyster shall not going we're not just the lowest Nation we're not just Uma shafela we're nimsa um this is the pattern of our history and without giving any commentary about episodes that have occurred to us looking at the history of Chloe Israel the gamar is mapping out that's all you need to know if you want to understand Jewish history it's either one or the other and the gemara says why bigamar doesn't say well who who knows the ways of God the gamara doesn't say I missed the right tells us why doesn't say well you know we have an unpredictable history who could explain oh the commercials I'll explain the history the history is dependent on one thing the histories of the nations of the world are not dependent on Ice the answer is the histories of nations of the world are dependent on Venus Uranus Neptune Jupiter Jupiter is always there Jupiter doesn't have mood swings right Jupiter is Jupiter right Jupiter doesn't need to see therapists Jupiter doesn't have uh there's not it's not uh schizophrenic Jupiter is Jupiter the nations of the world and the nations of the world but Claudius big swings ups and downs you know why depends on us we're not we have no star we have no constellation the forces of nature are Givens but our commitment to the tire is not a given goes up and down it's in our hands it's only in our hands says reviews this is the meaning of Magilla this is the meaning of the gamark Silvis why does bilam say I come from our own because billum figured we're like every other Nation so I'm related to them I come from a similar background I could get them in their Achilles heel where do I see them where do I see them but then I would like to suggest like this but they rest by themselves they've cut themselves off for the rest of the Nations why because since avram avinu was an occur and saw was a nakura and an island that began a new beginning for the Jewish people there were no relations to the rest of Claudius who could count the dust of yaakov says you know why cloudy Israel is considered unrelated to the nations of the world because since avraham avinu was thrown into the kitchen and he was going to be offered Wayfair so that means that ended the first segment of our history and now begins a new segment so billum says I have nothing I have no connection to these guys we're not related anymore because how could I count how can I evaluate what avraham went through with me in the KitchenAid says in my real an amazing thing you look at the end of practice Nayak right before Hashem tells Abraham what's the last possible no what's the last bus again right that's the last Posse again vibrations and then the end of Naya says died so the morale asks one very simple question but he's alive right there's an important to know when someone's dead they're not alive and when someone's alive they're not dead right we have to make sure we know that so remember I was asking here Tara third dies the Tyra says the only thing is he's walking around he's selling idols he's selling idols so Rashi says well we have to write that he died because we don't want anybody to think avraham forsook his old father so we don't want anyone bad-mouthing avraham so he wrote he died and the truth is says Rashi he really did die because with Sham are called dead in their lifetimes but why now I mean if for someone called Dennis lifetime it should say as soon as he's born he died why now a beautiful thing came out of orcasm and he emerged as a briah hadasha he's not related to his father anymore he's a new creation taraf didn't give birth to him God created him now so for all practical intent for all intents and purposes he's not connected to his father it's like his father's dead in other words when God tells avraham begin your new chapter Hashem is saying you know you are not related to Tarak anymore you're not connected to Tara anymore this is a new beginning I'm gonna tell you now I'm going to give you a new continuity a new existence I'm gonna create you Anew you're gonna now that you emerge for more cosm once Abraham left or kazem Tarak is as good as dead we're not related to Tara anymore we have no connection to talking we're looking number 23. foreign this is a wondrous thing is the Apostle advances the death of tariff to say that he didn't leave his father in other words his father was already dead is very wonderful you know why there's no problem avraham was not violating because keep it of aim is only if your father is related to you avraham and in this instance now that avram came out of orkazdem avraham's no longer related to Tara avraham was the beginning in other words when avraham comes to the scene we take Tarak and we throw them under the rug we say that wasn't a previous existence Hashem is now creating avrahamanu in other words he says conceptually Tarak was old news Taft is over the hill now begins a new chapter so advice what we're learning is a very fundamental principle and that is the existence of Cloudy so it's different than the existence of all the nations in the world all the nations of the world have their roots in the laws of nature they're rooted in the natural world is not rooted in the natural world in fact the natural world counteracts claw Israel the natural world if God will leave things up to Teva we could not exist Hashem looks up into the sky he sees all the forces of nature saying there is no Jewish people have some said you're right all the forces of nature do say there's no Jewish people but you are above the forces of nature and when you connect to that source and if you don't this is a major major understanding of the patterns of history of that cannot be ignored this cannot be ignored this is what the gemara says in the Gila either we're like the dust or like the Stars this is he cried when he said this but on the other hand he said how fortunate the Jewish people are because we have it's like anything in life someone who has given tremendous privilege can also have tremendous downfall right nobody could sink as low as a president that does not fulfill his duties right the we are given God everybody some granted us the greatest responsibility and on the other hand we're playing with uh we're not playing with house money we're playing there's a lot at stake there's a lot at stake given over to Claude Israel to Claudia so it's either or either this is what film learned billum thought would like any other Nation so therefore he's related to us God told Dylan no um we have we're not rooted in the same sources as the Nations you're not going to be able to attack us because we share a similar Source says we say like this God you also remember Nayak that is you remembered him for salvation and mercy Arcane Zach and we say like this all right we say um in conclusion what do we mean that because Hashem remembered Nayak therefore his memory came before you to increase his descendants like the dust of the world what do we mean um we say Hashem remembered remembered Hashem remembered Hashem remember the Jewish people we don't say Vegan when it comes let's throw Noah what's wrong with him also remembered Naya why are we throwing because really we have nothing to do with Maya we're not related to him we have no connection to him he's not part of the Jewish people we don't attribute our success to him we don't invoke imagine we ever die Islam save us in the Merit of Naya nothing Nayak ever did can and will ever help us he's a good guy a lot of good guys but there's nothing to do with the Jewish people you know why why not why doesn't that have anything to do with Jewish people because if you looked in nyack's DNA there was no Jewish people was a great guy so therefore in Fila we say we probably should you also remember and you increase this children and he increases grandchildren he's not talking about clowning so talking about the guardian is the father of the Guardian right Chevron what do you mean we're all super Nena no we're not Jews are not cold anymore because only we were not another Marie shine we were not in New York we were not even in shame we were not in Tara avraham was the first creation so what do we say about Nayak in in Phila bigger throw the man a bone he was a nice guy he was at Sadiq he was my fairness so therefore says this episode of billum what bilum is learning is that we have no commonality with the guidance you know how the Guardians say yeah we're all Brothers we're all sisters we're all the children of God no we're not Brothers we're not sisters we're not cousins and we're not all the children of God it's okay only Cloud Israel the descendants of Hashem the descendants of avraham all the other nations of the world have no connection to us they have no claims on us we're all by ourselves we have no connection to the but that is a little bit of a double-edged sword because if we're able to embrace our luminary which is kinera are unheralded success on the other hand by slacking off unfortunately so revenge of chicag you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
