>> Okay.
Okay.
Thank you everyone for coming. It's a
great Hano. It's a great pleasure to see
all the together. I want to thank uh the
host
of Klein fork
for opening up your suka to host this
beautiful event. And the Torah says,
so asks, wait a sec. It says says
seven days. And then it says
the whole year. So says like this, we'll
talk about it in this year, but minimum
seven days.
They're sitting in the whole year. So
like a sadik and it says
the whole year. So we could say
he's bas
uh involved inra
and
uh he spent a lot of effort together
with his wife preparing for tonight. So
that the
should
for the whole year for
>> so also want to thank
who is the
he would like to have forgotten about
but we'll give him credit for uh in the
early years in in the olden days
should all be together.
>> Amen.
>> So I'm talking about a medish pa you
know medish pya is a very mysterious a
very enigmatic statement of the medish.
It's very hard to decipher, very hard to
uncover the meaning of the medish and
there are different and there different
exactly how to say the medish but the
medish pa says like this we know was the
epitome of is the quintessential
individual who suffered from terrible
ysurim. When the Ramban talks about the
surahim, the Ramb saysuram one moment is
worse than all the yur. But you see from
here that suffered worse than anybody
else in history. And the media says like
this that was to the point of
we'll see was at the point he was being
he was almost going to be complaining
about the says
was not consoled did not have
until he saw
basis until he saw saw these three words
in the
when he saw these three words.
So obviously the question is how by
seeing the three words.
How is that?
In fact if you look at the
p the says
was complaining.
So the says further, not only did he see
the words,
but he saw the that a only has to have
three walls and somehow.
So we said there various of this. The
brings down
brings down.
So comes is a little bit of a different
take on the medish. The medish says that
the is that a only has to have three
walls. Comes the he says that you only
need two full walls. Somehow the fact
that you only need
that was
doesn't say but the
says the fact that you don't even need
three full walls that was a big
consolation to and
says
explicitly
that this is the
says
the
that when saw the that you need two and
one even a that third wall that only
needs a that was. So the question is
what is the that lay in that in in that
all you need is the third wall to be a
in the second day of sukus we say like
this
let the mitzvah of not be light in your
eyes
cuz really It's shuck at all 613
mitzvah. So the are saying like this you
don't don't treat the mitzvah of suk as
a kala as a light mitzvah cuz really
it's shuck at all 613 mitzvah. So now
the question is
what is the suk is all 63 mitzvah it's
not found on the not in
it doesn't say nowhere that mitzvah
it says about many mitzvah
it says
but it's not found anywhere where there
is no in that
it's interesting the
he points out the says that at the end
of days the are going to want to
they're going to come clamoring they're
going to say give us reward give us
reward so is going to come and test them
the mitzvah
so if anything is called a mitzvah
when the says don't let the mitzv of
what the referring to is
that Hashem tests the govala.
So as one of the why is suk mitzvah kala
is is it any more kala than other
mitzvah
why why is it any less than any other
mitzvah? Why is it less than dollar? I
mean if anything uh suka probably costs
more than dollar. Why is suka considered
a mitzvah? So tim says based on the y
that we mentioned that shuckle mitzvah
is not a mitzvah but of all the mitzv
that are shuck 613 mitzvah it's the
easiest to do
it's very big it's very vast tora is a
difficult mitzvah miwa is a difficult
mitzvah it comes with sar sitsus
it's also it's very expensive now
they're advertising in bar park they
just told meas right now It's becoming a
yeah now it's becoming very expensive.
So all the other mitzvah are expensive
of all the mitzvah that are shuck
is kala but again the quotes this yer
that suk is shucked all 613 mitzvah
what's the mar what's the source that
suk is equal to all 63 mitzvah
everybody's familiar with the marel
mariel says what's the Indian of going
into the suka after the after rashashana
after yam kipper nobody body knows it
could be a person has on them of golos
and therefore we go out to the suka. So
this way in case there's exer on a yid
to go add into golas this is our golas
by going to the suka. This is our golas.
So always wondered what do you mean why
would we be kive golas for what? The
only thing you're gas for is somebody
killed bash. So a shasha let's say you
happen to know you didn't kill anyone
bash wy right theoretically a person
knows they know they didn't kill anyone
bashy. So then taka they don't have to
send the suka. It's like I was giving a
shir you remember the shir about the
four days between yam kipra and sukus.
So the medish says that is so is what
you don't have time to do. So somebody
sent me an email
you have time you should say that's what
that's what somebody asked me you have
time to do you should say and and he
said and that he knows but did he have
he said
so he wanted to know whether he should
say but here is saying that the reason
why
brings down the reason why you go on to
the because maybe a person's gullas so
you know leave it up to the person if
they know they're not galas so let them
stay inside. Well, they don't know. They
they forgot. They're not sure. Maybe
they killed someone bash. What's the
Indian of going into galos? Because
maybe a person.
Okay. So, let's talk about the
following. It's a pit. It's something
that everybody knows. I'm not saying any
kadushim, but let's just try to bring it
out um in the proper way.
Raakov Meckllinburgg from the Tamid
Hagra. So we mentioned the vagin tonight
is the yard side of the villagy. We know
the villag is very very connected to the
ofus over the years. We spoke at so many
times the famous going that uh we
commemorate not the miracle of the anan
but the return of the ones of that's
before what's very interesting is
they once asked the go you know the says
here even of so why the says
so they asked the go what's
to the so the go said very partially
In fact, you know the go the going
tonight is his yard site. So the going
warts fill in all day
but on he held on to
he was nif holding on to lulan. I just
saw that that the was nifter holding
on to lulan.
It's interesting the one time on the
third day of sukus
his parents came in they they saw a big
smile on the face on the go said so why
why are you so happy they asked him they
said why is so happy vainu just came
down and gave me a big kiss I shouldn't
be so happy you see the go was very
misdiff of sukus soak from the hagra
he says what's the
of course we know the garra says inf the
garra gives three reasons Why suka can't
be taller than 20
say
you heard the shir you know this one?
You didn't hear this one. Okay, I'll
tell it to you. You know they say this
another say the says there are two
mitzvah that you could go in with your
whole body only two mitzvah. But
the only two mitzvah you could be with
your what about
say you're not in the mikvah you're not
until you emerge from the mikvah. So the
only two mikvah the only two mitzvah
you're
are and
says the it's a
when does a person do a mitzvah
and these are the two mitzvah. So the
shila is what's the connection between
and
so the bring down like this I saw in the
reshore he brings down from the
suk has
why how do we know so the says
says if you sit in the suka this year
you'll sit in it next year so then ask
so then then you'll never die Right?
You'll never leave this world cuz you
sitting this year, you s next year, you
sitting in the next year, you know. So
they say sitting in the is a school for
says
of you'll grow old in the you grow old
in the so
brings down from the
what in the Torah is the o. So we're
going to see it's
on the now is threeves
of
what's why does bring
because the has
and we know
says went to he said what's going on
said so
now what are the borders of Israel so it
says in First mission get
so the mission says like this
and says what's
a yam auk is the boundaries of Israel
Ashkalo
and so has in it. So the go says the two
mitzvah it's not random two mitzvah that
you could be there's and then the is
like a bottling up a little microcosm of
fine says
what's the union of the suka
says of the suka is that where is a
person's das
really a person's das keva is bishayim
inhab
That's where person ZV should be. What a
person should be worried about should
not be what his floors in his house look
like, the walls in his house look like,
the vehicle he drives, and the physical
trappings of where he lives in this
world. A person's das is that's where a
person's focus, his mind should be, his
thoughts should be, his digger should
be. Li this world, this world is just
it's a hallway. It's a pisar. It's only
a way to get somewhere else. This world
is dasam
says seven days you're going to leave
your kva and you're going to come into
the suka. The suka doesn't have the air
conditioner they have inside. The suka
doesn't have all the comforts. Doesn't
have all the luxuries. It doesn't have
all the trappings of your das kva. The
same way you leave your das kva and you
go into the das of the suka. It's to
teach a person that they left a dasva
when they came down to they left a dasva
and this world is be a suka all it is is
a hut and you eat what's available and
you drink what's available and you do
and you buy what's available and what
you need
but not
the the lim of the is that is that this
world is a suka that's says
is the lim of the and I'm sure this is a
that we're all familiar with. This is
the theme of the all the all the and
even the they all say the concept of
is ash
that really
is
that means we hope we stick around here
you know long enough but a person's
mindset and focus should be the malb
says writes on
that
that future generations let their heart
not get too elevated because what time
of the year is it? It's a time of the
year that a person gathers in all their
produce and all their grain. It's
basically you come, you check your bank
accounts, you're bringing in all the
it's a shasa.
So theam says at a time where typically
a person would go inside and enjoy their
house and enjoy their possessions and
enjoy their produce says go leave the go
into the to realize that the entire is
says
one of the
he was born in 1420 contemporary the
barbanel by the way The has a very
interesting shita. The Rambam says the
disagrees.
Now the safer learns there are three.
There's
there's
and there's and those three are all the
and the says
that's why in the three main of areas
is
says a safer if a person inculcates
these Three principles. This is the
biggest Yeshua for Pik says in who
that a person is that
he's
that he's the lawgiver that he's the
that's the biggest. So on the kazal or
these three in the main text of but the
the
has an in between the ragrim
theim learns there three and a learns
there's six
the is that any that you could come up
with your own is not ankar you don't
need the tire for that mits is not ankar
it's p any any any sane any logical
person knows there's the are only the
you need the messiah or the tyra for he
learns there are six and each of the six
is one of these six in any event he says
also if you take a look at number eight
he says what's the sitting in the suka
it's the beginning of the rainy season
the it's starting to get cold you feel
it already right you it's starting to
get
And people normally go inside. They go
they leave the sukus of the outside and
they go into their
says
says no you need to realize you need to
be makier that your home is a das
and that the whole is a so you go into
the suka and the suka you have a folding
table you have folding chairs you don't
have the same uh fancy luxuries you have
inside that the whole world is together
suka it's all das sarai
The the by the way this the this for the
doesn't come with all the
this is the one safe for the that they
don't print with the it's the simasel
and
in the back of it is a little contress
of limuus
and he also says what's the union of the
suka listen to how he says it he says
the whole rashashana the whole season of
the so we're all looking for for kapara.
So every has their own path. Some are
some are
some are doit
but when it comes down to it says
none of that is going to help you until
you're mak
you could learn a lot you could do a lot
of mitzvah you could fast says
it all boils down to the sukah why is
that it all boils down to one nuda to
what extent does a Listen, not know. We
all know this. Not feel. We all feel
this. To what extent is it coursing
through our veins? Is it flowing through
our blood that this world is just a
hallway a corridor before to the extent
that a person feels it to that extent
will be after the that's the Indian of
the that's what the writes in the
comes of
as only the reb of can and he writes
let's read of look at number Torah
advises us onush.
It's not because maybe a person killed
vash
they say raaran color would say the
reason why rashiva
you know they're always they're going
into gullas to collect money cuz you
know sometimes the ask the question
there's no time in the sh to everybody's
you know
reb one time I was walking down the
street and someone bumped into me now
we're going to stop the whole year to
listen to this guy he's ba misa so
sometimes the rebba you know he cut him
off right But it's he's embarrassed. You
know, he makes believe like he he's
handling it well inside. He goes home.
He's he's so it's you know what it's not
the Reb's fault. So So that's why the
rashish they have to go around
collecting. It's be going into gulos.
That's what Baron color would say. But
but says like this
at the end of the
to declare that the whole world to us is
just a it's a it's temporary. And what
are we in this world? We're gay in this
world. We have no in this world. What
are we in this world? We're like what's
what's going to happen? A win comes
by may
inadim
other places in New York. So a lot of
people mim before the ofusimad
you want to become smart you go to
Florida right? So an hour before Yamiff
I got phone's ringing off the hook. Why?
Because there was another hurricane in
Florida right before Yamiff.
So first the shil was what should we do
if it rains from say until
then they said forget that what should
we do we don't have a suka anymore
doesn't stand up to
that's the limit of the limit of the is
the whole is fleeting
and therefore says
You make the you make the you see the
you could look to shayim to realize
where the is
should you sit in the suka only on sukis
no you should sit in the suka really for
sadikim they feel like their gimm hasha
but not everybody's on the madrega
therefore says gavald isn't this bum
sees
you know what the main difference
between a Jew Andy is that
you know what the of is the is that we
are
just as anel that's what impressed bum
of all the mil of the milo that
impressed bum to the point where thera
says that it was
he wanted to curse us but he couldn't
couldn't he had a change of mind why he
saw
he saw that
was
says you read the like this
if you're for everybody is to send the
sick of seven days
but someone who's at someone who's on an
esra like Abraham
when not
the we're hoping for is
we should reach the madrega of Israel
amazing says
we know all theu
they're all sadik they're all sadik but
they all different sidkos. Abraham was
avoid
they each had their milaha. What's the
common denominator between all of the
between all the if we could say one mile
that they all shared in common?
I never realized this. They were all
gay.
So I never realized that when the Tyra
calls them gay, it was a milo. They
thought they were always on the move.
No, that's a description. It's an
adjective of their titus. What does it
say by Abraham?
What's Abraham saying to me? This whole
world is I'm just a G. I'm just a
visitor. I'm just a guest. I have no
here. I don't take it that it's not that
important to me.
This is an adjective of his
don't be
why
worry. Worry about your chandelier in
worry about your floors in worry about
what you're going to drive in.
Don't worry about this world that
doesn't even belong to you.
That's the li says the
if you ask somebody what's the big situs
of Abraham? What made him Abraham?
Would anybody say he was mocker that was
that his greatest mile? I don't know if
any of us would have thought to say that
was it Abraham said no the godless of
the was they believed and felt
the
writes
mascul
the smart person
you know what his path of life says
his path in life is
he understands his
isala
so that
that's the
path of life is to
that is the ina
so we asked so why is the mitzvah of
shuckle
what's the what's the source that
mitzvah is equal to all 63 mitzvah so I
saw in the new
of lakewood
he quotes another passage of the kabala
and kabala writes a tremendous line take
a look at number 13
vu tless callra
the t of the entire of all the mitzvah
all the mitz of the
shness the
time that for this purpose
is for what for the tas that we
mentioned that it's a continuation of
what we read for to realize that we're
gay
of
in other words yes every mitzvah has a
specific tas and a specific school and a
specific in but if there's one
overarching
of all the mitzvah in the and call out
in other words at the end of the day if
you look back you say okay I did 50
mitzvah today so what's the takeaway
what do I learn from everything I
accomplished today the we take is
it's all nothing that this world is just
praised
says the same look at the words he uses
the number 14
the remembering always the temporary
transient nature of this world is
includes the entire Your Tyra, the
entire Tyra is the Indian to remember
that Maz is just a gos that Maz is just
temporary.
Take a look at the alakadesh
says tremendous words. Ashadesh writes,
"What makesam happy? What gives
says number 15?
All of the rectification of all the
depends on our sikas. In other words,
Hashem's
our righteousness.
And what is our righteousness? Says the
All of our cashros, all of our
righteousness, all of our purity,
our entire hashem is dependent on only
one.
It's recognizing that you know what we
are in this world. We're not a goof. The
goof is just imagine somebody say, "What
are you?" I'm a Cadillac. No, you're not
a Cadillac. That's just how you got here
to the shir. You're not That's You're
not a Cadillac. You That's just how you
So somebody said, "Who am I? This?" No,
that's a Cadillac. Who are you?
The entire
the entire source of all of our
cashuskus
andus is for a person
that we're invas
and we only came down to this world.
In other words, if you see two yidden
and one of them is anem 50% and the
other one is 51%.
He's 1% bigger because he's m 1% more
than he and this world is. And if you
see someone who's a sadic nifla and
someone who's not then
between them is to the madrega that they
recognize that I'm an
only here in this world for a specific
that means is saying look at the words.
It all boils down to one
says the
therefore the tells us leave your house
for seven days
is dependent on this that this world you
need to say
the entire
is dependent on that.
So when the mar says that after the yam
we need to go into galas it's not just
because maybe somebody killed the shy
like we asked I don't think every single
year maybe killed the shy the is you
could boil down every that we clap al
for all the and all the if you boil it
down to the
it all boils down to we pay too much
attention to
and if we would have just considered
a little bit more we never would have
sinned in the first place. In other
words, the suka is not for just the
random rare case of
it all could be boiled down to coming
out to if we would have been
says that not just
if we would have been
the whole year
then we wouldn't have had to clap.
It's not just for
it's the
is paying too much attention to
ah so now we come to
comes
one of the most interesting all time
was nif in 1872 Rabi was very m of ker
wrote on's commentary on the bikoryaka
of course is ongo
was very of when one time writes
I was I was I was to
was a of binging ramping
was one of the um was a tal of Adler.
So um
was a rebby of Razel Hildersheimer a
rebby of Rome Leman. So he wrote of
course on
he says like this remember
does everybody hold suka has to bear
no not at all in fact the gammor
I think on says there are eight tan who
hold suk needs to be lamuda who says
could be
he holds it could be keva
brings Many ribbi who holds
he holds
says shim who holds you need four walls
of
he holds that has to be
says
we could see from this that if the raon
holds that if a suk needs four walls
that's because you hold you need that
means the raan who
they hold
says
why was in such pain why was he
cuz he felt you know there's
but maza is also something you know I
also want to have a enjoyment in maza I
mean why not you're here already so you
might as well take advantage something
in
right says is it wrong for it to want
two so you have said okay I know but but
something over here I have to suffer
this world also I can't wait
said no no you're making a mistake this
world is nothing we pass in
this world This dra it has no
independent significance. Nothing at
all. It's not worth anything. It's only
a hallway. It's only a preparation. It's
only a tik and it's only
you need let's say man somebody won um
you know the mashall somebody won a
shopping spree. So they're giving him
one minute in the store to as much. So
what's going on over here? It's so hot.
So hot. Meanwhile, you could slap
diamonds off the shelf. Could somebody
turn on the air conditioner over here?
Could someone get me a cold drink? So
you give us some cold water. Snapple,
please. You know, I don't
it's you have one minute. You only you
only have 10 seconds left now. So is
showing
we don't like
doesn't have to be
this world is not any value at all.
That's the way the says it. Maybe we
could be just one and then we'll go on
to the second part
that was was the
understood. I'm sure knew the Mishna.
So what did EV think? So you ever
learned sashar in perf of sashar the ram
is seemingly trying to prove that this
world is a preparation for it seems like
he's trying to prove there's something
called so the ram brings if there was no
such thing as then why would have to be
within us
must be there
so I was always bothered
who's talking to he's talking to someone
who's questioning so he'll tell you
have an also I mean if he's questioning
so what's the because we have such a
so throw that what's it called
so we'll ask on that is that really
so if you if you want to understand
sashar there's a different mas sashar
could really give we should give a shir
on this mash B it's called the safer
where the Ram wrote not the way the M
sham that that's learned in yeshivas
they discovered another that wrote and
it's mish very important to learn where
it's not just straightforward it's a
conversation between a and somebody else
and the whole perf of is not to prove
that there's a every m believes in the
peric
is maybe you'll make a mistake and think
that maybe the created
to enjoy to have but he gave us a Tory
just to keep to keep us in she if we
don't have a Tory then it's going to be
and Hashem then created to reward us
because he didn't reward us then the
people wouldn't take the Torah seriously
meaning has a certain tas to it and is
sort of a service is another world to
make sure that we live in this world
properly and the sharm is saying no it's
has no other than a preparation for
it's not doesn't have intrinsic value
it's only a preparation because
otherwise we wouldn't need such a we
wouldn't need
so we could say it's not that I've made
a mistake He wasn't
didn't recogn
that
it has no at all. Now we can understand
you know says
soar says created this world one world
with world with a and one world with a
hey says I don't know which world with a
which world with a hey so says we know
with a hey why
so
says
that's why The
because
when
that a suk only has to be two and change
two he realized we pass in
and the of the
good you listening dearan
he understood that this world has no
other than he said
I have a certain degree
in your we're going to add one step
beautiful step
theim asks is a m was temporarily
he's buried right next to that he asked
Aasha we know there are three matas that
give
gave us the mun. What yumptiff do we
have for the mun? No. Gave us the bear,
the water. What yumpt for the bear? No
y. And we have
and we have the yumpt of suk. So all the
mask and the asks why do we only have a
yumpt to commemorate
and not the and not the says the
the we needed we had to eat. If we don't
eat, you know, you can't survive. Drink,
you can't live without drink. But
we didn't really need it was an extra.
So we commemorate that.
Question is what what does the mean just
because we didn't need it? Why is there
more of a reason to commemorate it than
the other that we did need?
That the other Hashem had to give us.
He brings in the famous you know and you
say what
do you say
why by the and by food it's says because
food has to give us he created us he has
to give us food
but is
a sorry
it's aa
It's an expression of the love of thee
had to give us he created us. He has to
feed us. He has to give us to drink. But
it showed
it showed theam.
It showed the care the concern that the
doesn't just do what he has to do but he
loves us.
caters to needs that don't have to be
met.
Who remembers the first rashi in Paris?
In fact, Rashi
just counted Khalis at the end of safer.
Why is counting us again? So, what does
Rashi say?
to show to demonstrate how much loves
us.
Okay. The wants to show how much he
loves us. Why now? Why the beginning of
Sham
says in his pers
is a golos we're going down to.
So you read it, you think
going down to
it's a safer of it's a safer of
it's a
he's casting us away. He's patching us.
The is not there comes Rashi as a to say
for Sham. This is not a safer of this is
not a safer ofim. There's not a safer of
leaving. You have to put it in the right
context. Whatever you're going to read
and say for is
it's all an illustration's love.
The love never ceased. It's an
expression of the love of Hashem. So
Rashi says the first the to is
that's the introduction to all of the
diff the introduction to the is
that says
that the
last year We spoke about
and then later on
that learns that the
comes and there's
comes
it's
the embrace of the so to speak is
hugging us. The suka is the hug of the
reban.
Our first year five years ago in house,
we said over from
that what is a suka? If you were to hug
somebody,
so the arm is toim
and so if you give somebody a hug, it's
that's what we said over from
today. I found the himself says that the
quotes in number 35 he says mish so
beautiful
the recording at the end got slightly
cut off so let's just um complete the
thought that we were ending the share
with and that is the medish tells us
that when
the
When saw that a suk has to be two
complete walls and one even a
he was consoled. So we offered the
following explanation and this is what
this idea is found in the
inli
but the ofus is what we call
that the is
butus is so to speak what we call
um
that the is embracing with his right
hand and points out so beautifully and
in past years we said it over from
that if you one would give somebody a
hug how do they give somebody a hug with
their arm. Now what is the arm? The arm
is twoim
and what the calls
this is part one. This is
this is part two. This is
and the third is
meaning when the embraces us on the what
is the embrace of the embrace is the
is the embrace of
and therefore
during his isurim during his
difficulties during his challenges which
were the most painful and acute
and difficulties that anybody ever
faced. Perhaps you have thought he was
being cast away, he's being rejected,
he's being punished, that this is coming
somehow from no the same way safer
starts with
where counts them again.
But why is showing his
in the beginning of Sham? So that
realizes that as an introduction to the
gulus, you should know
and that this is all a reflection and
this emanates from theem
that hashem has big plans for that from
the gulos will be will come
will grow to be a great nation from the
mit from the baris will be perfected it
will be zu and go on to bera hash
to feel that the whole golus emanated
from.
Likewise
in the course of his sah when he saw
he realized that the
is emanating from
he felt the love of hem. He felt the of
hem. He felt the the
all of his sorrow. Maybe he didn't
understand why and he couldn't imagine
how this was the and the love of but
when he saw
was able to have a degree of consolation
and what an uplifting and what a
consoling thought this is to every
single who doesn't face challenges who
doesn't face and sorrow and difficulties
but when we look at the and we see
When we feel the
this is a tremendous consolation and
this is a tremendous
we are consoled we are comforted by the
message and the of the
let's just add similar to what says that
so then the message of the suk is we sit
in the suk and for seven days we feel
we feel the embrace of the
but if we reach the proper and we
inculcate the message of the
will be to sit in the and to feel the
entire year the entire year will be
if we sit seven years seven days then
we'll
The the entire year will feel the
like of points on
cover us, protect us, shelter us in the
shade of your hand. What is the shade of
your hand?
That is the shade of the
to feel the warm embrace of the
we should all bear.
We should all be consoled from our
difficulties in the warm embrace of the
