Now you could okay
everyone
ag
it's a great honor to be here again in
the home of yadidi vak of klein this is
ready we're uh we have more than kazak
we're doing this more than 10 years and
uh it's a big to be in the suka
always is uh before the yamakov calls me
to remind me one of the big avoidas of
this season besides obviously Rashim
Kipper and Sukis is to come for the
official my my kids called the official
but uh for my family it's a long
tradition my father was here my
grandfather was here my uncle was here
so this year the scheduling was a little
bit uh tight because of mats shabas but
it's a kibir
was uh of the or I'm a kadushim of the
and uh I'm close with mishb for many
years and with
so the whole the whole client family
should be in this bay only and
okay so this year we have a very
beautiful topic
We're going to talk about the
and
sometimes you know a person thinks for
you need a very big crowd but in life in
general you don't need a crowd for
anything you know everybody has to know
what their personal aid is and we're
going to talk about today was the yard
set of the go actually one year do you
remember we we had it on the go it was I
think it was raining that year it co we
did it inside.
>> Yeah,
>> we did it inside. So today your test was
the outside of the go.
>> It's very interesting. Did the go make a
we have in a in a rare safer called
that he heard from one of the
what the
sim looked like. What was his program?
So he brings over here he would say the
15 of then he would say
he would say
then he would say four Mishnayas in
about
the fifth par of
then he would say seven different that
begin with the word a
one is ash
that that the are fortunate that even
the sinners are full of mitzvah like a
pomegranate. That's why they serve the
pomegranate blood orange pomegranate for
the
number two
that hem sits and he atones for our
sins. Number three
that when we're
gathers all the
you know it's interesting and most
people they sing the song on you know
it's from
that
says, "Look, they leave their
fortune that they make
and Hashem makes."
By the way, you want to hear
interesting. What? What's this?
Raesh wanted to hear alumnus. You want
You want to hear alumnness? There's a
says this that Hashem is
considers a thought like a deed. When
did that happen? When did that when did
that process begin? When did that start?
the the says
when
saw that the is to do the of no matter
what. So, Hashem said, "Okay, from now
on whenever a Yid has a thought to do a
mitzvah, I'm going to consider it like
they did it. it have by aa. So perhaps
then that's the Indian of making kabalas
on rashashana
because since on rashashana is we we
invoke thea the main theme of rash is
therefore that's the day that the
concept began that when you're to do
something considers it like you did it.
So this is a day designated to make
because that's when the process began
that when you're to do something it's
like you did it. Then
don't sing
and then the would sing
from
yeah I think it's in the right part of
the
I think some say it on also then he
would say
that was the program of the
now how many people do you think were at
the
I don't even think there was a minion
there this is what the did by himself
this is what he did this was his
comes
yeah is one of the classics he says that
what's the Indian of
it's a to the mikdash so he says
therefore ana would would remain awake
Kimad all the nights of withim.
There would light a lot of nairo in the
he says that in many Russas there were
no tob during
of
ah says
anyone who makes the
garra says
nobody is so from there we learn out
you're supposed to make
so there's a very big that at the
wherever it be. If you have a thousand
people, if you have three people, you
should think that this program that
you're having is to commemorate the
mikdash and it's a very beginning.
Listen to what he says.
A person should bear in these nights by
praising
even by yourself. You're all by yourself
without a minion. You have a small you
should bear is to have the
[Music]
he says
if only my share would be among these
people that you should sing the
ofashipper
he tells you
um what what's the of that summer
that that you should sing by and
shabas and
so anyway you see from here that for you
don't need to have a minion for you
could even do it by yourself and the
to remember the mikdash cuz no one is.
Okay, but what exactly do we get out of?
What happens at
By the way, if you notice in none of
these accounts of the was any dancing
mentioned or music mentioned? So what ex
So what are you doing? You're you're
saying to him, you're saying you're
learning.
If you look in the garuka, the gumar
describes the at the
as if the has something to do with the
what does the have to do with
so listen to this. This is from a very
rare safer.
>> Yeah, you have it. You know, it's not so
rare.
Oh, that's the name of it, right?
He says he heard from theam himself and
it's not brought anywhere else
says what's the of a rec
what's a dance what are you doing when
you dance the is like this the nama
always wants to be elevated to shim the
shama always wants to go back up to its
source the problem is the goof wants to
be here with tuna fish so it it's
there's a struggle the soul wants to go
up to shayim and the gof wants to be
down here. But when a person has aus of
the then a little bit could overpower
the goof and it starts um what's the
word? It starts elevating. It starts,
you know,
>> rising up.
>> Rising up.
>> Levit,
>> levitating. Very good. You see, they
have good English over here. Yeah.
>> Right. They start levitating. They the
nama starts elev
is has permanent uh address over here.
you know you have a permanent address
and even the the nephesh it it also
lives here temporarily. So at the moment
that the nama begins to levitate the
goof then says yeah get back here get
back here. The inion of recod is the the
momentary elevation of the soul to
return to its source and then the gof
saying you know wait a second get back
here get back here says when say
why is of
the literally draws the person upward
it's the
It draws the person up.
So if you never saw, you never saw
because for to be able to literally lift
up the
was that could actually draw the person
upward. Okay, that's what we're going to
talk about tonight. The of the of
to elevate to elevate a person.
brings you.
Why is it called? By the way, you know
the Gar brings two opinions in the
Mishna. The first mission
says
there are two opinions. Is it
why
here right that's in
but the gumar doesn't explain the
doesn't explain why is it called why is
it called
soyus brings you the says Listen
carefully.
Springs. Look at number four.
That from there they would draw the
heavenly spirit, the Holy Spirit. It was
called by the way the Bavi says
different. The Bavi says it's called
because they would be they poured the
water. They drew the water. Then the
says it's called
from there they would draw the Holy
Spirit.
Theina dwells on a person from joy.
It was when the musician played.
So the usi says the reason why it's
called
that person would go there and draw
person would draw
by the way it's interesting this
the rabban voracious rabba says that
when
went out and he saw
there was a well in the field the says
the well that was
these are the three regul
So there's a special that you would go
there. It wasn't entertainment. It
wasn't just just having a good time.
There was an in of drawing
at the
B by the way the
says that the usi is not arguing on the
bi the says it's referring to
the usi says it's referring to being
says it's not a nois between the bab and
thei
The bavi understands that they were the
water. But why is it called
and not
the answer is through the
was done they were able to beesh.
So it's not a dispute what the word is
referring to. The usi is correct refers
to being
the question is how you read the words.
The says
of course is going on the
but is since the
and drawing the from the was needed for
the
why is it called
it should be called
the answer is
they were the
So here's something I was thinking
about. Here it is. It's of sukus. We
have to take we have to sit in the suka.
Where does come in? We're going to we're
going to rejoice in the mdash to to
beesh.
Now remember whatever we're doing today
is
right the the says even to do it you
don't need a big crowd you don't need a
big minion whatever we're doing today at
our is a commemoration of the of back in
the day so first of all what does have
to do with sukus why is sukus a time of
being
and in what way can we commemorate such
a thing we could we Could in some
we could also be show something like
what exactly is its connection to sukus?
How does it fit into the of sukus and do
we have any connection to doing such a
thing?
By the way, we also have to mention the
time we have to mention the
the
quotes
that there's a very fundamental
difference between
physical
and
what's the difference? When you have
physical simka, when you eat something
good, the simka is only while you're
eating it. The moment you finish eating
it, it's done. You It's over. You get
nothing out of it. It's got it's
whatever happiness you had, it's only
while you're doing it. Once you did it,
whatever the h whatever the physical
pleasure is, it's, you know, it's just a
memory. There's no lasting effect from a
physical pleasure. Masha, a spiritual
pleasure. It lasts. It continues to
infuse you with happiness. It continues
to give you sim. continues to give you
joy. So the says that at the it combined
both kinds of uh there was actually
physical joy there there was camaraderie
there was all kinds of there was
physical delight and of course
which continued to continue to infuse
the person with joy for a long time
afterwards.
So let's try to explain what is the
connection between
and the sukus the moral says inashem
that the three regal pes and sukus
besides the mitzvah that we have there's
certain spiritual benefits that we got
from the by the way I'll tell you
something interesting you know we say
What's what are what are these things?
What's the difference between moyade?
So in the sid he brings like this
means it's a time that is on a person
spiritual elevation spiritual gifts
that's a moade
during this time of the year during this
hashem is
ofid spiritual energy spiritual that's
aim
is like this the Jewish calendar it's a
living calendar what is a calendar mean
it's not that Ana came 3,300 years ago
and now we're sitting here in Brooklyn
and we're remembering what happened. No,
when the when this time of the year
comes, it's a circle. It happens again.
The whatever happened back then, it
reoccurs in this
means a circle. That's why Rami pano
says you won't find in the that is
called sometimes it brings this down you
could look in the wholeish you'll never
find is called why means a circle circle
is every y revolves around the mitzvah
rash has a center point it revolves
around kipper revolves around not eating
sukus revolves around the suka pes
revolves around matzah
what do you
nothing to do. So it's not called it
doesn't revolve around any mitzvah. It's
just you and
in fact says
all the revolve around.
So it's not a it's the center of all the
various means
it reoccurs during then and then
are the seasons are seasons all the come
at seasons that make a person happy
whether it's
okay those are the different so says at
each gave different spiritual benefit
benefits on Pesakhu
made us
that we gained what he called
that we connected
that's separate from the physical
aspects of this world
on
gave us
says the moral
We acquired another great attribute
onus. What is that?
We were
therefore the were on us.
Theina hovers above us.
Wherever the is found,
there are the clouds of glory
says the gift of is where does it come
from? comes from.
So this that we're showy on it's not
some kind of it's not some kind of
outside concept that happens to be then
onus everyone goes to the mikdash and
what do they do there they pull down
no that's integral to the yum it's it's
inherent in the ytiff part what is sukus
it's commemorating
what does give clus it gives
ru
We'll have to explain what that means.
What what does it mean? It gives us but
the of being
on is integral to the what are what does
it do for us that we have a cloud when
you walk down the street and you and you
know you see it's cloudy outside. What
do clouds do for you? What what exactly
was the great gift of anan?
Okay. So it meant the was with but what
did that do for you? What did it do for
you that there are we sit in the suka?
The B says that when you sit in the
suka, aside from
aside from thinking that you're being
the he commanded us to sit in the you
need to think that you're you're
commemorating the okay but what did that
do for me?
It gave
ruh.
So if the yumpt of sukus is to
commemorate,
you would think there has to be a way
and occasion for us to try to get there
is
the way to commemorate
in its fullest sense is to go somewhere
to be
where is that place
is not a side aspect of it's inherent to
what the yumpt is the Yumpt is a to
commemorate not just the actual clouds
but what the clouds bestowed and bequita
what what they gave us which is which is
the
but let's take this to the next level
you know one of the main that we say
over the yamn was we say first of all
you use Is that again?
They say it like that.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Then we say
no.
>> You say that in
Do you say?
[Laughter]
So let's think about those words.
Don't throw me away
and your holy spirit your holy
don't take away from me. So okay
could we say that?
Could we say that with a straight face?
We could say to don't take away myesh.
What does that mean? We're balesh.
But we say that we say it. So what do we
mean? Do we are we just paring what said
but it's not us. So I want to show you
two very interesting mar
and if we say these words and we're
follow this that means it's noa to us.
So
in the leo brings
that
the Indian is a general concept.
I know
every has
there are thousand levels between the
the first level the ABCs of and a guy
that we say he's
okay he says and even inesh itself there
madosir
And even
I once saw in the
the says that you know there
and there's
there are endless degrees. That means
that every has in them a of kaduca.
Sometimes when you dav you feel a ru of
kadusha. Everybody will everyone will be
every will acknowledge that sometimes
you and you feel a of kadusha maybe
you know by I think everybody feels a of
kadusha kippa everybody feels maybe a of
kadusha
rashana sometimes you know you come to
adabing you come early and you prepare
yourself you could feel a r of kadusha
sometimes you do a mitzvah and you do it
with with energy and you're do with
mysterious you could feel a of everybody
has some
of a of kadusha but it's a matana and
sometimes you have it and sometime
sometime you go to and you're mish
you're your brain is in a hundred
different places and you say you where
did it go you know
Don't take it away from me. The muka
it's okay. So the mkatcher says in the
he brings that one of the most effective
during
during this
and therefore we also dash.
What does that mean? What is the the
said
you know is when you sometimes have a
feeling you know I did something wrong I
need to do chuva I need to come closer
I need to elevate myself those who read
chuva you know the you know who wrote
the of
aside from being the was also one of the
greatest. He wrote tash
and one of the in tashik is that hashem
should reckon all the like stirrings of
chuva in our heart. Every stirring of
chuva, every hisus of chuva is aesh
which means like this. That means when
they used to go to the Bikdash and they
celebrated and they were
boy were they a real
but today when we do the
whether you have a thousand people or
you have a minion matsum or you're all
by yourself and you're making a mikdash
it's not just something you're not it's
not a museum it's not it's something
that is shy to a person that a
tries
to regain the
came from which miracle
the the celebration the commemoration of
an is to the mar says that the gave us.
So now here's the clincher.
Why is part of the
that's that's what we celebrating?
saying that the yumpt of sukus I should
go into the sukah I should remember the
protected withan and what did we get out
what am I remembering
the
and then I would go to the b mikdash
back in the day and I would dance and
sing to do what to try to get because
that's what gave to why is that so
important to the you
Today was the art of the go. You're
going to seen the flow from the go to
really
uh give you a new dimension to
understand the sukus. All the years we
said over this go this go is the of the
whole sukus. I once met someone who
didn't know this go and I remember
walking away thinking so what does he do
on sukus? Like what's he what's he
doing? What's he thinking about? If you
don't know this go, it's a different
sukus. The difference between before the
go and after the go is the difference
between night and day. The go is found
in his perish alfdaled.
It's quoted in in one of his
descendants.
It's an unbelievable go. Everybody knows
the kasha the tour the tour in
asks if we're sitting in the suka to
commemorate anoid we're doing it in the
wrong time because hashem gave us anoid
when inan so we should sit in the suka
on pes two killed two birds with one
stone eat the matzah in the suka
somebody asked me today by shalashidis
if there's an Indian to eat matzah by
the in the suka because of tesv tesv
What?
>> I hear there is an Indian.
>> There's an Indian. Well, by my in the sh
whoever went shopping for shawashidas,
he he bought old rolls and the rolls you
couldn't eat them. So, we we didn't have
so we took out matzah. So, okay. So,
then we were mim. Okay.
>> I think I think I think I think I think
it's
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
The gr the gr brings the tourist kasha.
The kasha is we're sitting in the suka
in the wrong time. We should sit in the
suka pes time.
>> There you go. Yeah.
>> I already started then
says
it's a mistake to think that sukus is
commemorating the miracle of
we don't make when a miracle happens and
not every time a miracle happens we have
a yam. When the mun came, we made we
made a yumpt. No. When the beer came, we
made a yumpt. We don't make for when
left, they were surrounded by and we did
nothing about it. Thank you very much.
The weather is very nice and we're not
making a yumpt because of
says the go. What happened was they
served the eel. When they served the
eel, the anano disappeared. They went
away. The rebum said to Israel, "It's
been nice knowing you. Have a good day.
I'm out of here." We landed it today.
He says, "From now on, I'm out of here.
I'm not going with I'm going to send
no way.
If you don't come, we're not we're not
I'm not moving."
was saying,
"I'm not going to go until you come
back." So, Hashem said, "Okay, let's try
this again." Goes up a second 40 days.
Then, he goes up a third time. He comes
down on
Hashem says
looks up to the
So, says, "What's going on over here? I
thought you said
that doesn't mean I like you.
I'm not going to punish you but I don't
like you. It's let's say the mahadma I'm
going to say the chuba rava says that
for sadikim they're not just going
through yam kiper to get kapor you think
it's only about kapar you think the
whole thing is about kapara here's the
ma you have two two guys and their mish
is kav every mat shabis they make a mava
malaka together and they eat herring
together and they drink uh good stuff
together and they talk and they smoo and
then one of them doesn't invite the
other one to
And Shim's bro, Ruven didn't invite me
to the How could he do such a thing as
Mamish? Shim's not talking to Ruven. So
Ruven goes, "I'm sorry. I'm It's not I
forgot. It's a you know, you're my best
friend. Please be." So said, "No
problem."
So the next Shabas, Ruven calls up, you
coming from says, "No way." Ruin said,
"I thought you were." So Ruben says,
"I'm you, but I don't like you.
says, "You think yum kipper all it's
about is you're not going to get
punished for your a you think all it's
about your nisha is clean. Yeah, your
nish is clean, but the doesn't want you.
He's not looking forward to your
mitzvah. He doesn't want to be close
with you. He doesn't want to have a
scarvas to you." So, it's not enough to
get kapara. So, Misha, he's happy that
Kaliso is forgiven for the ael. But the
kalis is devastated because I want to
read to you the lion. Look at number 15
1 2 3 4 5 six lines from the top.
The desire of the one of his greatest
successes
may hashem to gain the goodwill of
Hashem
that should want you.
And what does it mean? Hashem wants you
that Hashem wants to give you and Hashem
wants you to enjoy a closeness to him
and you should feel the light of when
you do and
so
we're and said it was really nice once
upon a time but you know it's not like
it once was.
says, "What? So what are we going to
do?" So Hashem says, "Try this." On the
11th, they got a command to build the
Mishkan. They brought
on day 12 and day 13. On day 14,
they stopped bringing. On day 15, they
looked up to the Shayim and the Anak
came back.
Says the gois is not a celebration of a
miracle that Hashem protected us with
clouds. It's the celebration of the fact
that after we did chuva, Hashem not only
forgave us, but he said, "I'm willing to
restore my relationship with you as if
nothing ever happened. And I'm giving
you my rats again and I want you and I
want his scarves to you and I'm giving
you back your
look in Rabu." Rabenu says, "Does
anybody know the mismaril
of is which capital?" Nalf.
Look at capital Nalifim where does Chuva
for the M of Bashva
says
wash me well
and purify me. But even after he said
that, you know what else he said? He
said, "Okay, you cleanse me." But
It's very nice you forgave me but now I
want back the
because once he was cleansed he didn't
feel he still had the he said it's very
nice you cleaned me but it's not enough
I want more I need the back so you ready
for this according to the goen what is a
celebration of sukus. We're celebrating
the the miracle of ananak. No, we're
celebrating that came back that Hashem
said, not only are you scap, but I'm
willing to bring my myas to you, my
relationship with you is restored as if
nothing ever happened. So prove it.
How's Hashem going to prove that he's
going to restore the relationship with
another? It has to be that not only come
back but it brings what spiritual gift.
So therefore it wasn't just like it
happens to be on suk isra would go to
mikdash and there would be
this wasn't like uh ancillary a outside
kind of thing something that happened to
happen on sukus. The whole yumptiff of
sukis is not just to celebrate the
miracle of an it's to celebrate that
hashem not only forgave us but hashem
restored his relationship with us. And
the the evidence the proof
that
is with us and he loves us and he wants
us like nothing ever happened is if you
feel that spirit of kadusha when you do
mitzv. So therefore one of the most
important of going to the mikdash was to
be
because that's the ultimate
that not only did come back but what
what its return means to us what its
return means to us is that we have the
which then means that when we make a
mdash
I don't think we're going to say these
that the said and all of a sudden you
know
that we're not going to become
like back then but each person
has experiences in life and times in
their life where they're on a higher
level and they have a certain of a of
kadusha. So the ofus to remember the
anoid
and the of is to have a to that and to
try to feel a little bit the what's the
is where the nama is lifting up. Yeah.
It's being show you. It's pulling you
up. Like theamer said the the the mala
is giving you a of to pull you up to
show that the was not only for the of
but also Hashem is willing to take you
back and give you back the we once had.
I'm going to sh I'm going to share with
you one little thing cuz it's a small
am. I hope I it's okay to say this. This
this was new material. I can tell you
something you know from a few years ago
that's relevant to to recent something
interesting you know if it comes out
then that the yumptiff of sukus is
celebrating yum kiper is like the first
level where hashem forgives us and sukus
hashem brings us back with return as if
nothing happened. So where doesra come
in? You ready?
You know when made the eel and mobu saw
serving the what did he do to the lis?
It's a trick question. When when hashem
sorry when hashem told that clas made
the eel, what did mosha do to the lis?
Trick question. Nothing.
>> Nothing.
>> Okay. He trucked it. Came to
>> actually when Hashem told him nothing.
But what the P says
when he saw it he saw them dancing then
he broke the says what he didn't believe
Hashem Hashem said they made the ego no
made no problem they'll do chuva but
when when Mosha saw them dancing
when Mosha saw them dancing the says
they're happy they doing a if you do a
bima Huh? There's no hope because that
means you don't even feel guilty about
it. You're doing the basim
thought it was hopeless.
So then if sukus is a way to
get not only kapor for the aal but make
it as if we never did the then it the
only way to be completely is you have to
counteract what they did at the so we
have to now we're saying we're with you
we're going to dance for you.
we're going to dance for you. Right? So,
so is then part of this program. It's
not a separate day in order to get back
to the highest level as if we never did.
The are connected to
just saying that means how important to
brings back to completely eradicate any
shemetal.
But if there would be I want to say it
very carefully
if unfortunately would be in a situation
where they're yidden who don't know what
a sumasra is and instead of dancing for
tora you had what happened a few years
ago where you know the riskar would say
the risk would say when something
happens in kalisol don't blame people
who don't know any better it's it's on
us it's our responsibility you know when
when ya when there was a storm on the
ship
All the people on the ship were but what
did say I know
I know it's my fault. What do you mean
how it's his fault? Everyone else on the
ship is
yeah but but he's the hashem. So he's
responsible for everybody. Just saying
how important it is that
knows what a simra is and rejoices in
the right way on otherwise can you
imagine otherwise we can't overcome that
a of the you know it just it just puts
into perspective the importance of

what a is not like a separate tukus it's
inherent to sukus it's So sukus sukus is
the celebration that after we've done a
hashem not only is mapper us but hashem
returns his yakas with us to the majas
if we never sin then he gives us back
the kadusha to whatever level that we
once had and uh whether you join a big
or you're by yourself in your this is
something that uh is a mikdash and we
should all be that hashem should be
answer foreign.
Good.
