Secrets Of Hebrew Language

first of all I just like to say that tonight's sh is going to be the rella and in the Merit of the to learn tonight we hope and we pray that her Nish should have in alyah B I'd also like to say that I'd like to give the sh tonight in the for all the members of the Israeli Defense Forces who are on the border right now of Gaza and some have actually entered into Gaza and the of the Torah inspiration that I hope that you will receive tonight it should be a and Merit for the safe Safety and Security and the accomplishment of the mission of the Jewish Israeli Defense Forces so thank you for having me here tonight in Brooklyn usually I lecture around in Queens and it's a pleasure to come down here tonight and see what's happening in Brooklyn you have a beautiful synagogue I got the tour and it's a pleasure to be here and to speak to everybody tonight and tonight I'm going to speak to you about a topic which I think when you investigate it carefully and we'll begin to do it tonight I think we're going to discover that it might be one of the greatest proofs that we have for the fact that the tah is a document that was given from above and perhaps it's a big statement but we'll we'll try to flush out that statement as we go along tonight the name of this lecture is is the secrets of the Hebrew language the DNA of creation and we'll explain what that would mean in a moment before we do I'd just like to speak a little bit about language in general you know in English we have a language but the reality is the words that we use don't really mean anything of great significance for example if you know the answer to this please don't say it my socks are made out of what socks are made out of nylon who could tell me why they're made out of nylon chemistry Majors who knows why it's called nylon Pas biologists come on some who's in The Sciences who is in The Sciences who studying The Sciences who you has ever taken a course in science see if you've never taken a course in science you become a rabbi but this I do know who can who can tell me why it's called nylon good why is it called nylon because it was created by the DuPont Chemical Company and the DuPont Chemical Company happens to have an office in New York and London so my stocks are called nylon okay any real meaning in that nope you know if we look at the um where would it be the cord or even well we had an overhead projector that cord over there you see the cord against the wall the cord that that holds like the the wiring does anybody know what that cord is made out of what's made out say again actually it's made out of balite baly yeah back made out of baly who can explain to me why baly is called baly baly is often times the the electrical cords that we use in projectors or in um cameras and things like that who knows why it's called backal light it's the back trans it's called the back and and it's light okay good good something a little more technical someone who's in the science is a little more technical something to do with oh good good guess something something to do with some chemical yeah let me would you be surprised if I told you that it was created by Dr Joseph P balite so he named it after himself is there any real meaning in that no the language is random I'm going to suggest something to you right now that every language out there and there are 70 of them have no intrinsic meaning except one language the Hebrew language and the Hebrew language is called l KES KES means different distinct unique there's like there's no other language like it in the world however there's one language that's similar who knows what language that is Russian who said Russian no anyone says bharian no it's not bharian okay it's not not Aramaic is a sister language it's a sister language arama sister language you know yish yish no not yish good guess though good guess who knows what language I'm talking about the gor language language gor is Aramaic there's one language that the Hebrew language is similar to it's this language right here it's called the chemical language for example if I were to write on the board H2O what do you know about H2O it's water and what does it contain two two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen if I were to write NAC sodium chloride in other words these letters actually describe the essence of what's there you will know the properties of water exactly its Atomic quality by that symbol however why we chose to call hydrogen why we choose oxygen why we choose sodium why would you chloride That Is Random we can call whatever we want but it is getting a little bit descriptive about what's there now the Hebrew language is completely different why because what we believe and which is a tenant of Judaism fundamental is that when a when AEM created the world he created it through speech in fact the First Act of Creation was the Hebrew language where do we see that the zor tells us listen carefully elim what's the next two letters hash says in the beginning God created through and with theive through T the Hebrew language he created the rest of creation that means God created the letters he spoke the letters and by speaking the letters the thing formed that's why in Hebrew by the way what's the word for thing D what's the word for word d you know God you have an infinite imagination couldn't you thought of two different words one for thing and one for word why is it the exact same word in the Holy tongue because when God spoke it it became the thing so now listen what this means and this is the theory that means if we are to know if we were to know the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and we know their meaning and we understood reality we can construct this language Let Me say that again if we were to know the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and we were to understand what something really is we can construct the language because God created everything very specifically not randomly he took letters and he formed them so if you know the meaning of those letters and you know what something is you will say it's logical this is what it has to be but God made it easy for us what did he do he gave us the 22 letters he gave us the language and so when we analyze it you know know what we can discover all the secrets of reality we can discover all the secrets everything you want to know about everything can be understood by simply analyzing the language analyzing the letters and that's what I'm going to do with you right now now first thing we have to know what a letter means how do we know what a letter means we have four sources Source number one is actually very simple it's the meaning of the letter what does Alf mean it means the champion the great one bait bite is a house giml gal camel dalor Etc the meaning of the letter gives us one reference point second thing we have is the shape of the letter we're going to look at in a moment in the olive we see the shape of the letter is very important each letter is composed of other letters another way we understand a letter is the sound gives us Insight another insight has to do with the numerical value we know that each of the letters has a numerical value not only a letter and finally a very interesting source is that the first time a letter Begins the root of a word in the Torah that word will teach you the meaning of the letter for example where does the base begin the root of a word in the Torah who can tell me Well bis is not a root it means in that's a preposition where does it begin the root of a word bar create it's going to have something to do with a Bice a house creation okay we'll talk more about that but those are our Clues clue number one is always going to be the meaning of the letter clue number two is going to be the shape of the letter the sound of a letter the gamor speaks also about the meaning of letters and the fourth is going to be the first time the letter appears in the Torah okay so let's begin and let's start with this letter over here good place to begin is with the ALF let's analyze the Olive and see if we can understand this one of this primary building blocks of creation you know I should mention you know why do I call this lecture by the way the DNA of creation what does the DNA describe for us it describes everything you need to know about the person doesn't it you open up the DNA and you can tell me exactly what that person looks like in all shapes and colors you open up the Hebrew language you could see reality perfectly I'm going to show you what I mean this letter alive let's analyze it whenever we see an alive in any word in the Hebrew language it's always going to have something to do with who with the almighty with theem well let's see what's the numerical value of olive numerical value is one one good let's see another clue that we have that's always got something to do with hasem you know if you look at the alive the shape of the alive you'll notice that's composed of actually three letters over here a yud a yud and a a v let's do a little numerical analysis what's the numerical value of y 10 good numerical value of of six someone add that together for me what do you get 26 what word in Hebrew has a numerical value of 26 how about this word right here yud he V which means god yud is 10 he is five V is six hey is five someone add that across from me what do you get 26 so another hint that we have that the AL always has to do with something about God question first time we see the AL at the beginning of a word in the Torah what word is that bit well a root word Elohim what does Elohim mean God first time we SE in the Torah it spells ELO Elohim another hint that we know that it means God okay you know I'm just going to point something out to you Alf numerically is one how do you say a thousand in Hebrew how do you say it Al Alf means one El means a thousand it's the exact same word could someone explain that to me god listen you have an infinite imagination couldn't you have thought of two words one for one and one for a thousand you have to use the same word Al what's the connection what's the connection what's that you know a thousand what yeah go how you doing how you doing possibly be some possibly some similarity to the number one and the number one with a bunch of zero saying good saying something important I'll tell you a story that one time I was giving a lecture and it was about 11:30 at night and I had a headache I felt really tired I got a call from My Wife and she says you know we had a student student of mine unfortunately she got caught up with Christian missionaries and she said that she and her priests are by the house and she's ready to talk she brought the priest with her and I said oh gosh you know it's like qu to 12 at night you know I said you know I'm really not like up to this right now my wife's like I don't know they're here what should I do with them you know I feel so bad for my wife by the way you know like you know she end up marrying like an out a c of guy a c of Rabbi so my wife's from a nice religious family you know you know she's not used to like priests coming to her home at midnight like so I said look just I don't know make tea or something you know until I get there so I get there and um I walk in I remember the guy's name was Don nice guy very sweet guy says to me R we sit down at the table my wife s te you know I'm trying to think what am I going to say to this guy this girl is like listening wants to hear like you know who has the truth over here and um I'm like my head is pounding and I'm thinking like just asking AEM for some help over here so he says to me Rabbi you know you know the Hebrew language very well don't you I know a little bit he said you know Rabbi Alf it means one El means a thousand Olive always has to do with God doesn't it so therefore doesn't it make sense therefore that you could perhaps divide God up into different Pieces perhaps the Father the Son and the Holy toast that was his opening attack so I said to him Don you know you have to be polite you know polite a polite person my head is killing me but hasm put this one into my head I said Don let me explain something to you you look out in the world and what do you see let's take a look analyze things for a moment you know that we know that there's a force in the world called the sun right 93 million miles away it's perfectly located in the exact position to give the exact amount of heat to the universe and to the world what does it do it be eats down in the world and as a result it causes the evaporation of water the water then Rises up and another Force kicks in force called The Wind and The Wind Blows the water together and forms clouds but you know most of this evaporation takes place over the ocean because that's most of the water is so the wind then has to utilize another force and blow the wind back over the land and then another Force kicks in called gravity and gravity brings down the rain in the perfect proportion so it doesn't flood the Earth but allows the Earth just the amount of nutrient of water that it needs to sustain life and then what happens the water mixes in with all of the things in the soil and guess what a seed dissolves and from the depth of the seed comes up a plant a plant produces a fruit I said down let me question are all of those individual gods that are causing each of those occurrences is there a wind God and a sun god and a gravity God and a soil God he said Rabbi that's ridiculous so I said to him well isn't it possible that our job in life is to look at all the thousands of forces in the world and realize there's one commanding force and therefore what it to make perfect sense that the same letter that means one would mean a thousand that we're to look at the multiplicity of all the forces in the world and see the unity that's what I said to him and I had such a headache it was Major you know major Divine assistance of that one but that's why it means it of course that's why the word for El means Alf and are the same word question what oh good go go good okay smarter than me here we go so let's take a little little just a little numerical value over here let's take a look at let's take a little look look over there like sorry to erase so let's look at the AL go a little deeper in the alive if you look at the alive and if you were to spell it out it's spelled out like this Al lamid you know it's interesting again it all has to do with the Oneness of God what's the numerical value of olive one numerical value of lamid 30 numerical value of pay 80 someone add that across from me what do you get 111 1 one one the AL always brings you back to the Oneness of God you could see thousands of forces but only one god let's go a little deeper into the olive I want to prove to you without a doubt the olive always means God always means that connection with the superal how do you pronounce an olive let me sh good pronunciation of an olive someone pronounce an olive for me no that's if you put an you know a under it a come give me a translation pronunciation of an Al oh that's you pronounce the P at the end pronounce the AL for me somebody somebody what pronounce a Bas for me sometimes a bait pronounce a bait what's the sound of a bait B what's the sound of a gimmel go back to the AL what's sound of an olive that's if you put a vow underneath it listen to my Olive listen carefully listen carefully I'll say it again did you hear it it's silent it has no pronunciation there's no sound because the AL if is always that transitional letter between this world and the spiritual just like the spiritual you can't get your hands around there's no sound the Al has no sound you have to give it a vow without a vow there's no sound let me say it again say it with me 1 2 3 no thought you gave it a vow say again there you go no sound because it represents the connection between this world and the spiritual totally spiritual but go a little deeper with it let's take a look at the words themselves you know Al what does it mean numerically it means one but what does it mean alof in Hebrew Alo means a champion someone who's strong the strong one like for example the AL the the AL the AL is the general in the Army Al also means also means wisdom you know these are beautiful descriptions of God number one he is the one of all power he's the Al and number two he's the ELA he's the one who provides wisdom you know it's interesting every letter will always reflect two things one way God relates to the world in general and one way he relates to mankind because mankind is the purpose of creation to the world he is the all powerful one but to the human being he is the elect the teacher of wisdom Now isn't it beautiful if you look at the three letters that spell Alf watch this Al means Hashem the teacher the powerful one what does lamid mean lamid means to to teach what does p mean M the mouth AEM teaches he teaches the mouth he transfers his wisdom to us by the vehicle of the mouth how do you communicate to MOS through the mouth how do we communicate to each other with the mouth how do we teach wisdom with the the mouth again we see everything we know about God in the way he relates to man God teaches wisdom with the mouth now there's another thing you can learn about God to that Olive here's the question to everybody question is God all powerful yes is God all knowing yes is God all loving is God we said it he's all knowing he's all powerful and he's all about love true good explain the Holocaust to me explain the homicide bombers in your life to me explain little children dying of cancer to me he's all loving how's it manifestation Your Love he's all knowing he knows about it he's all powerful he could stop it explain it to me somebody not for that tell me if you were to spell this word backwards what would it spell if you put the pay first the L second the AL what does that spell somebody p p what does Pella mean in Hebrew p means a Wonder it's a wonder amazement P I'm amazed because you have to know something in your relationship with God you're going to have to appreciate something there's always going to be something that you don't know something is always going to be a Pella a wonder if you think you're going to know God completely you're barking up the wrong tree I'll tell you a secret if you really want to love God you're going to have to love what you don't know about God because just like I have to love what I don't know about my wife you know what I really love about my wife I'll tell you a secret turn off the camera what I really love what I really love my wife is not what I know about her it's what I don't know about her in other words if I'm going to love my wife based on what I know who am I really loving really loving me my mind's perception but what I have to love about my wife is what I don't understand it's when she tells me to go to the store to buy organic broccoli and it's three times the price and organic collar greens and it looks ridiculous but she wants it because she wants it what I don't understand that's where love really begins isn't it with God is the same thing Shem says I want you to love me but not what you understand about me because that's loving you if you want to love God you got to love what you don't understand about me you're going to have to accept the fact that there's always going to be Pella Wonder amazement and you know what what you don't understand you're going to have to trust you're going have to trust you're going have to use your heart to go beyond your mind and that's why I'll tell you a secret my friends when we D twice a day and we put our hands over our eyes when we say here is with the Lord Our God the Lord is one meaning God you are the source of everything you are the source of all the goodness in my life and you're the the source of all the difficulty and pain but you know what what do we do with our hands we put them over our our eyes why to show that where our minds can't go we're going to have to let our hearts go God I'm in the dark right now I don't always see it it's aell it to me but I'm going to have to let my heart feel where my mind can't understand you have to appreciate that but look how beautifully it fits into the letter Al means god it's Elohim it has the Gat 26 it means the champion it means the teacher it means Al the one who teaches the mouth wisdom and if you spell it backwards of course what do you see pel one all the different aspects of God okay now with this as a foundation let's look at a few words that contain an olive and let's see we can understand a little bit about the essence of what that word is let's begin with a very important word and a very part part of our life let's look at the human being let's look at you and let's look at me how do you say a person in Hebrew a do like my Hebrew n don't that sorry okay question look at that threel root if you looked at H2O you would know that contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen tell me what you know about a human being Adam means a human being what can you tell me about a human being by looking at those three letters good what as what DNA D what do we what do we see what do we see oh so let's look first thing we see we know what the human being has in there's an olive what does olive represent what's the main aspect of who we are are we bodies with souls or are we Souls with bodies we're Souls with bodies aren't we the essence of who we are is not the part of us that's going to Decay and rot and go to the ground the Ence of who we are is the is the AL the image of God the fact we're all created right tell me another part of the human being what else do you see just by looking over here what do you learn about the human being what blood d means blood the second thing you got to know about you and I is that we're physical we have bodies and we got to take care of the body yeah Al the let's face the dumb part of it yeah what the dumb there's blood there's blood I the the English word dumb oh were dumb okay good question we'll point that a second Dum you know why is blood by the way the perfect description of the physical part of who we are why is blood the perfect description of our physicality question if we were to lay out our blood vessels head to toe head to toe head to toe how many miles of blood vessels do we have in the human body you can tell me how many miles of blood vessels do we have enough to go around the world three times three times exactly right 113,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body 113,000 miles of blood vessels in our bodies so what are we we're spiritual and we are physical so beautiful you know if I decide I'm going to goow off on a mountain somewhere and pray and I'm not going to get married I'm not going to have children I'm not going to be inv with friends I'm just going to eat you know bread and drink water and wear some sort of loin cloth am I going to be happy why not because I forgot about this part of who I am that I'm physical but supposing I say listen I'm going to be physical I'm going to eat one slice of pizza two slices of pizza three slices of pizza four slices of pizza five slices of pizza am I going to be happy I'm going to be sick but if I combine my Olive with my D if I integrate the spiritual with the physical beautifully I can have really meaningful life in fact our rabbis tell us you know when you make a blessing on your food you enjoy the food more you know why why because food tastes better when you appreciate it's a gift when my daughter bakes me chocolate chip cookies the chocolate chip cookies can taste terrible but I love it you know why cuz it's from her when I make that blessing on Pizza it might not be great pizza but God it's from you it's a gift from you to me you enjoy it more you combine the spiritual in the physical what else can we learn by the way Don by the way you know we say there are three partners of creation there's your father your mother and of course God who provides the blood in the body mother and father D what's the numerical of doid four numerical value of me 40 That's 44 right what's the word for mother in Hebrew M good what's the word for father in Hebrew AB good let's do a little numerical numerical analysis Al is what one me is 40 That's 40 one AB Al is one Bas is two that's three someone add that together for me what do you get 44 that's interesting because that's the same numerical value is done oh nice coincidence but let's go deeper take a look over here what if I were to ask you what makes the human being a human being what is it it's the fact that we really have an image of God inside of us true that's what makes you special and me special and in fact you know it says that if I were to remove the olive take the ALF away over here I be left with Dam dam happens to be the same root in Hebrew as nidam nidam means death dead d means Dom similar you know our blood is almost similar you might have type A I be whatever it is but it's similar you know the physical parts of us are almost exactly the same what makes you different from me and me different from you and all of you different from each other is that we have different souls and each Soul was brought here for a purpose and you got to find that purpose and you can't be me and I can't be you and you can't copy each other either and that's why the word Dam happens to be the same root in Hebrew as do which means similar and theam which means death if you're going to copy somebody you're dead there's no room for copies here God needs you to be you God needs me to be me we can Inspire each other but you got to find you and I got to find me but the essence is that's because the essence of who we are is the fact we're created in God's image that's the real you now let me show you something here watch this carefully everybody you're going to appreciate this watch this carefully if I were to take the numerical value ofam here so I told you that do is four and me is 40 That's that's 44 correct numerical value of Alf is what one so the numerical value of Adam is 45 now 45 is an interesting number number one is the same numerical value as this word which means ma what does ma mean in Hebrew what 45 ma what what am I going to be what am I what makes me different than you what's my purpose in life if you're not asking ma what am I you're not living if you didn't wake up this morning and say you know what am I doing here am I here just to you know to go to school get a good job buy a nice house drive a nice car you know so that my kids could go to school and get a nice house drive so their kids could go to school you know come on like what Ma what's it all about the human being has to ask ma what what's going on we got to be somebody your job in this world is to become greater to become more you know that's why by the way if you turn the letters around over here and you put the me first what is this word spell what does me spell what does mean ite means it means more you got to become more you have to become greater than who you are that's your job you know the word for animal in Hebrew is a which I won't write it out but it means he in it is what it is you know an animal a cow is born a cow a dog is born a dog you know you never look at your dog and you say hey look enough eating off the floor over here you know but your mother tells you all the time hey like you know let's not use our fingers like come on you know because you got to be more an animal doesn't because the human being is created in a way where God created us with potential with his image inside of us but we have to find our potential that's why happens to be the same root in Hebrew as what word as ad what does AD mean it means the the dirt the ground question does ground have any real value does ground have any real value dirt is any what's the difference the dirt on 51st and Lexington and the dirt in somewhere out in Nebraska any difference in the dirt same chemical property why is the dirt in 51st in Lexington worth $1 million per square foot and the dirt in Nebraska is worth about 2 cents per square foot location location location it's what you do with it the value of dirt is dependent on you the potential is there but you have to turn it into something so God is teaching us I created you from the ground because ground represents potential but you have to bring your potential loud now you know in the Hebrew language it's so beautiful if I vow this word like this it spells which means ground if I vow it a little differently I spell it like this I say what does that mean AD means in Hebrew I will be similar I will be like I will be do I will be just like who I will be doet to the olive I will be similar to God that's your challenge what are you going to be are you going to be dirt are you be similar to God that's your free choice so you hear how the free choice of the human being is built into this word Adama but let me show you something even deeper than that what did I say the numerical value of Adam was 4 45 what did I say the essence of the human being is the fact that we're created with God's image on the inside how do you say God's name in Hebrew don't say it for me but what do we say Hashem I spell it like this right he hey correct and we said what's the numerical value of that yud is 10 hey is five V is six and hey is five is 26th right now watch this you know in in Tura the language of analysis another what we analyze as we break down each word each letter let's analyze it if I were to spell out a y I would spell it like this y v if I to spell the hey I would spell it he Al hey Al if I would spell the V I would spell it like this V Al V if I spell the hey I would spell it he Al everybody see that we have the do you see that everybody y hey V hey okay see what I did all I did was I took each of the four letters of God's name and I spelled them out let's do a little numerical analysis of these letters watch this what's numerical of y 10 good numeric of six of of six num of do four what does that equal 20 numerical value of hay five alive six that's the six numerical value of V six Al if 1 above six that's 13 of hey 5 + 1 is 6 if we add that across let how it works 6 + 13 is what 19 + 6 is 24 25 25 plus 20 is 45 that's interesting because what's the numerical value of man 45 what's the essence of the human being that God is contained with inside of us and where is it contained inside of the letters of God we find 45 my friends coincidence or design did someone create this language or is there is it too intricate is it too specific but it doesn't stop there one more Point onam what really makes us different from the animal kingdom do you get that everybody saw that What Makes Us different from the animal kingdom yes we're able to able to choose right from beautiful what's your first name again my name is so yeah I Met You in uh gabri yeah Gabrielle Queens you came to Queens the other night yeah we could choose between right and wrong what's the vehicle that God gave us to analyze Our Lives Torah he gave us the Torah oh I should say like this what do we H what what what's the relationship called with God whereby we can actually come to God and talk to God and discuss our lives with God God and ask God for help and ask God for wisdom and ask God for everything we need what's that called in Hebrew the true I dare say what makes us different than the animal kingdom first of all we have free choice but in order that we should utilize our free choice correctly God allows us to have relationship with them to build ourselves and our relationship and thereby make the correct choices so we have something called the F which we called prayer but you know really the word pel in Hebrew it means to judge so when I come before God you know and I ask God for what I need I'm really judging myself is reflexive I'm in the act of judging myself you know and when I ask God say God listen God I need money you know I need money and if I'm what's in the back of my mind I really want to buy that 2009 Lexus you know you know if that's what's in the back of my mind you know I might not get too far like God I'm before the almighty I'm before the creator of the universe and I'm asking for a car like with the fancy leather seats like you know when I come before God I really have to analyze why do I want money God I really need money listen I have a big family we need space the more space you have the more peace you can have in the home I want to be able to pay for tuitions my kids need things I want to be able to give charity I like having a lot of shabas guests like I need more money oh God can say listen there there's are good reasons right so in the process of my request I'm really analyzing myself aren't I that's why p means judging oneself and I do that for the almighty and I begin to build a relationship with God and by building that relationship I begin to understand a little bit how I can utilize my life for a proper purpose that's the human being now here's my challenge to everybody what's the whole premise of this talk tonight the whole premise is that God took the alate took the Hebrew language and from the Hebrew language constructed reality that's to say he took an alive he took a doid he took a me and with that Olive do and Men He formed Adam that's what it means it's not a joke blessed the one who spoke and the world came into existence Adam God said these three letters and there was the man that's how it worked that's how creation came to being that means everything you have to know about the human being will be contained in that Al and me I think I've shown that to you a little bit tonight right I showed you that we have something spiritual we have something physical that the D comes from the parents that inside it's 45 it's it's the same numerical value of God himself but let me ask you a question and this is where I'm bothered and you got to help me with this because if the essence of the human being what makes us different than all other animals is that we can have a relationship with God through prayer if I can't show you that that word that that concept is contained in the of the the I haven't proven to you anything because the DNA right in a gene that has to teach you everything you know need to know about the organism if I can't show you that prayer is built in okay if I can't show you that prayer is built into this system into these three letters I haven't proved anything to you tonight so everybody ready for this you're watching carefully watch this watch this watch this [Music] let's see if we can discover that the essence of the human being is prayer how do you say prayer in Hebrew say it to me in Hebrew say in if we were to say the human what the human meel me means person the act of judging oneself or praying right you spell me like this meat H okay now watch carefully everybody look at this how do you say the human being let's write out these letters how do you spell Alf spell alive with me somebody Al lamid spell do with me lamid t spell me with me me me now if I'm going to take the first three letters of course it spells right obviously logically but now watch this spell these letters backwards MIT do you see that MIT the essence of the human being is that we have a relationship with God through prayer MIT almost in exact order except for one L is out of place MIT coincidence or design pretty nice coincidence let's go on okay let's take a look at a few more Concepts before we go to another letter who could Define love for me someone Define love one what's that giving to somebody good up your life what's that give up your life to to give up your life to sacrifice okay yeah good yeah something UNC caring unconditionally nice ladies love tell me love is you know I was once lecturing I gave this lecture on a campus one time I think it was at Pace University so I asked I said what's love so they weren't so sophisticated like everybody here so one guy got up he said he get Rabbi he says love is a four-letter word another person said she said love he goes love is just a secondhand emotion I didn't know what that meant and then this other guy goes up and goes goes she loves you yeah yeah yeah I said yeah okay let's see if we could do a little better than what we did at this particular campus okay what's the word for love good the root of the is aov okay aov aov means love let's see we can analyze it a little bit what love is we'll do a simple analysis then we'll do a more in-depth analysis simple analysis numerical value of Al one good numerical value of Bas Al bit two remember we said that every word has not only a numerical value has a meaning Al the champion bait bite house giml gal camel do Del door hey what is hey mean hey what is the letter hey what does it mean that's a little hard but remember I told you one of our tricks one of our tricks or one of our points of analysis is when a letter Begins the root of a word in the Torah for the first time that word will teach you the meaning of that letter when the letter Begins the root of a word for the first time in the Torah that word will teach you the meaning of the letter now hey there are two times that we seek hey one is where it says which means existence but the time we see hey really used as a verb itself is in parash last week's para when the brothers came down to Egypt and ysph says to his servants Z and if you look on the side the haras you know what hey means it means have which means give the letter hey means give and that's why it also is the first time uses the Hebrew language you see it's which means existence ha means was or is exists because the essence of existence is that God is constantly giving into the world if God were to cease giving for a moment would there be a universe no hey means give so look at look at the word love what do you see the word love what does it mean the essence of Love is what when one gives to two one gives to the other how do you know when you love somebody because you want to give to them how do you build Love by giving to them who loves more does the does the what you know it says that if you want to like somebody you don't like them you know you should do give give to them give to them give them a present because you'll start investing in them you'll see you and them who loves more does the child love the parent more or does the parent or does the parent love the child more parent loves the child more I'm sorry to tell you know because it's um the reason is because obviously the parent invests years and years and years on giving and children invest years of years of taking look you know I'm you know I don't say old I am but I'm old enough to been around this world enough to tell you that I spent many years receiving from my parents they give and give and I have children have six children and I they don't appreciate how much I give to them but the more you give the more you love and that's how you generate love and perhaps the reason most marriages fail today 65% unfortunately is because people really go into marriage of what can I get out of this people would go into marriage and say what can I give I guarantee you have a lot more success but let's go a little deeper let me ask you a question what do you think is what type of gift do you think builds love deeper the following choices choice a you know like I'm always going to say like this Choice a is going to be the house out in Kings Point you know with the 2009 I don't knowa Maserati you know with the 100in screen television set you like with the marble kitchen counters Mar floors marble floors fancy chandeliers what's going to build Love More those gifts to your spouse or saying to your spouse I have a word of T I want to share with you I I together I I want together that we should keep Shabbat together keep shabas together you know together like let's let's let's learn something together let's open up the par together and let's share it what do you think is going to build love more running running okay you I know you age with me but I want you to show me in those three letters why that is so remember these three letters the DNA of creation everything you need to know about love is right there so tell me why when you give a spiritual gift it builds a deeper connection than when you give a physical gift show me in these three letters what did I say hey means give what I say Bas means the other what does Al always mean something connected to when you give the other when you give the other an olive when you give the other a connection to the spiritual when you bring God deeper into the other's life you give it to V together you build a Jewish home together you raise Jewish children together we can accomplish a connection with God that we couldn't do by ourself when That's the basis of the marriage you give to base you give to the other in Olive a spiritual connection connection with the Transcendence oh boy then you're going to have love you know and I dare say perhaps you know again like you know maybe the reason we have 65% divorce rate is because people are giving themselves giving their spouses the wrong things it's not the car that makes her happy right it's not the marble kitchen that you know makes her happy right girls am I right guys it's not you what's going to be happy also is is that she said you know she says to you look I really you know let's build a home together what's going to make you happy is together you're going to give each other an olive you're going to get closer to that Olive that's the real connection that's the real gift if you have that you can have love you know we could take it one step deeper and we can see something very interesting you know if you analyze the olive you break it down it spells this world L pay L pay l in Hebrew means one the names of God it means power like lvan says there's power in my hand P what is the letter P mean in Hebrew p is a is a mouth what does a mouth do what's the job of a mouth what's my mouth been doing all night over here the job of the mouth is to express out P to express so it's interesting one of the names of God by the way is power expressed God has called the Z AL he's constantly empowering the universe expressing out his power so listen to this what do we say the letter hey means it means give what does the letter bait mean bit means well first time we see the Torah is means to create bite is a house bait always has to do with the aspect of creating so it's interesting the word love if you analyze it when one expresses one's power pet you express your L you express your power through giving what do you create love expressing power through giving creates love that creates a so simple it's much easier than a four-letter word second hand emotion you just have to know the Lish just to know the holy tongue it's also interesting by the way the numerical value of love if the noun if I take the noun it's a a Al is one he is five Bas is two and five what's the numerical value 10 + 2 is 12 + 1 is 13 it's the same numerical value as what does aod mean one because the essence of Love Is that two fuse to be one Coincidence of design let's look at a few more things over here having a good time you enjoying yourself having fun everybody I'm having fun okay I'm having a great time this is so much fun okay let's see here what is the what is the female letter there's a female letter and a male letter what is the female letter men the female letter happens to be girls this letter here called gimel gimmel what does gimmel mean gimmel means a means a camel that's right a Gamal a camel now why is that the female letter let's analyze it for a second gim actually means what does it mean what does Gad mean means kindness giving right g means to give kindness G to give now that's interesting g means to give me ask a question about giving everybody in the laws of Jewish charity what's the greatest gift you can give 10% 10% is the minimal gift what's the what's the greatest gift you can give somebody not the minimal gift 10% is a nice gift 10% is a nice part of your income it's a big test I shouldn't say 10% is a very important gift but if you're going to help somebody the ram mom sets up like this the r says like this what's the greatest act of Charity to give money or to set the guy up in his own business why why this way because you create self self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency produces self resect correct the greatest gift you can give is to help somebody to be independent you know you know if if I have my you know my little four-year-old is teaching have to ride a two whe bicycle so what do I do when he's riding his two whe bicycle you know what I do you put him on the bicycle and he starts pedaling and pedaling and pedaling and what do you do as a parent let go no you start running after you run after and then you holding then hold you let go and you're like oh you close your eyes you know and you hope he's gonna but you have to run after him that's how you do it that's you teach your foure to ride a t bicycle so I have question I have an 18-year-old also she's in Israel supposedly my 18-year-old gets on her bicycle I say to her one second honey I'm going to run after you you know what have I just done to her embarass I've probably sent her to many years of therapy right I probably I dare say it's a guaranteed prescription for many years of of psychoanalysis why because the whole purpose of a parent is we're trying to give to create Independence what says times up time's up 10 okay the whole purpose of par I'm on a roll just can't going just going a good time have a good time the whole purpose of a parent is to okay few few more examples whole purpose of parent is to create Independence but look at this gal means give but look at the words words gim gal is to give what what does mal mean in Hebrew what's Mila Mila means to to cut to separate true look at this what's the true act of giving give until the other is separate from you give to the point where you can create self sufficiency gal now that's interesting look at a camel why is it a camel the essence of kindness what does kindness have to do with a camel how many days can a camel go with water 40 40 days a camel can be self-sufficient the greatest act of giving is to give to the point of self-sufficiency true that's a female quality the job of a woman is to take a child is nurture the child so the child can be independent not dependent right not that not not guilty and not uh you know but to be independent that's why the gimal happens to be the female letter now watch with me carefully everybody what gimel is the is the female letter let's put it over here what's the maale letter what's that yeah I know Israelis are going to tell me going to laugh but don't laugh at this there a slang in Hebrew the male letter happens to be this it's a Zion Zion and Israel slang but let me explain to you Ines what it means Zion actually means a sword me a sword the job of the man is to basically go out in the world and to earn a living you know earning your bread earning our bread is a war it's a fight Z also means Zan which means to nourish to provide the job of man is to go out there and wage war against all of the economy and everything has to do in order to nourish his family true first time you see the Zion in the Toro where is it it's by the word zero What does zer mean seed a man supplies the seed a woman takes a seed and nurtures and develops a child so the child's independent of her Zion is the male letter gimbal is the female letter what's the letter of connection in Hebrew what is the letter that means to connect something well in Hebrew it's a v in Hebrew means and connection V also means hook find the first time you see a v in the Torah where it begins the root of a word is the hooks of the mishkan V is a hook it even looks like a hook right the V the physical description of hook it looks like this right that's a v v is a hook it means and it's the letter of connection question how do you say a married couple in Hebrew Z wow can it be anything else can it be anything else if Zion is the male letter gimmel is the female letter and V is the letter of connection what's a married couple a Zion connected to the giml Z question what's the word for truth in Hebrew good it's the name of your organization em name of my organization EMT right EMT let's look at EMT for a moment em means truth why are these three letters the perfect description of Truth and they stem on two legs good beautiful number one the haveit to all stand on two legs good truth has to stand firmly sheer which means falseness is written like this right just one leg falseness is one leg truth is to what's another description of truth that we see in this words in this word truth happens to be Al is the first letter of the alphabet them is the middle letter of the alphabet and T is the last letter if you see one part of the story is that the truth or is truth seeing beginning middle and end truth is having the whole picture what's the difficulty about seeing God's truth in this world problem is what we're only looking at a little piece little part of the story when we get the whole story opened up we'll see the real truth that's interesting now it's interesting another thing you see about it is you see the word aim which means mother and you see mate which means death another thing we know about truth is that we're born from a mother we're going to die if I'm going to take the alive out of em what do I have M if I take an alive out of the world is the world going to live is there going to be survival in this world death no existence but let's look at a numerical value what's numerical Olive one numerical value of n 40 40 good numerical value of T now there's something not 45 now there's something close in Hebrew we have What's called the mispar the gatri means like this you can add you you can add without the zeros add this across 4 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 1 equals 9 see that 441 got that 441 add it together you get 8 + 1 is nine okay nine what's special with number nine let's analyze nine for one moment what's 9 * 1 9 * 2 what's 1 + 8 9 + 3 9 * 3 27 27 + 2 + 7 9 9 * 4 3 6 + 3 9 9 * 5 4 + 5 9 * 6 5th is 4 9 * 7 6 + 3 9 * 8 7 + 2 9 * 9 9 8 + 1 9 9 9 * 10 90 9 * 11 99 9 + 9 18 is 9 9 * any number any number will always come back to the to the nine do you believe me is that true give me a number anybody give me a number 36 36 what's 9 * 54 9 * 3 is 27 + 5 is 32 3 + 2 + 4 is 5 + 4 is 9 yeah it works good okay good nine times any number will always be nine now the reason why the numerical value of Truth is nine is because Tom I'm busy I'm teaching I'm teaching it it's um if something is true it doesn't matter what form or shape it's in you'll find the truth you'll find it nine is a very important number for us and that's why let me show you about nine you know the word Shabbat look at Shabbat what does Shabbat testify about what truth does Shabbat testify about that God is the creator of the universe number one and is actively involved in this creation number two what's the numerical value of shin 300 300 good base two tough 400 add it together what do you get 702 add it together what do you get N9 interesting and okay wherever you see truth you will see nine now let me just end with one example two more one example here first I have to show you this by the way I just have to show you two more examples then we'll stop okay Zach two more examples two more examples I love this one this one I love I love this one you know the letter K what's the letter K mean k kof is a monkey it looks like a monkey doesn't it kof it's a monkey kof it's a monkey why remember let's remember the premise of this talk tonight God took the 22 letters he created 22 letters these 22 letters he formed and from these 22 letters he created reality why is one of the primordial building blocks of creation a letter that means a monkeyz monkeys are smart cuz want say what monkeys are smart monkeys are smart well are monkeys smart or do monkeys imitate imitate monkey see monkey do monkeys imitate don't they interesting you know as Jews we don't believe I'll tell you a secret not it's not a secret it's obvious we don't believe in evolution what we do believe in is De Evolution de Evolution means that it could be that when a human being doesn't act like a soul but just acts like a body you know who he's similar toy similar to a monkey in other words the monkey looks so humanlike they're so cute I go to the Bronx Zoo I was the Bronx the summer with my children they're so cute you know what's that Bronx the Bronx I'm sorry I the Bronx I live in Queens I live queens but you know I went up the Bronx they they actually look like people they their babies and they hold their babies and they they chase each other and they they hit each other but you know they look so human as which as wise we like to watch them but they're not human do they have free choice does a mon does a monkey have free choice does a monkey have free choice no no they support abortion or not ask if he supports abortion right he doesn't have free choice to decide a monkey is what the human being is not supposed to be the monkey is the animal in you and me but the animal isn't the eye what's the real eye is the soul question how do you say a righteous person in Hebrew s sadic what makes it sadic sadic lot of things give me tell me what what's the M if you give me one definition of a sadic what would that be okay that very nice to say but give give me give me a definition Give me a definition what would you say charity charity is good good chva is good anything that can be def is helping others helping others is good well I'll tell you a secret everything telling me is true but you know what the common denominator is of all them you know it's difficult to give charity you know why it's mine like I don't want to help you I want to take care of me right um you know I don't want to get up early right now I I want to sleep like I don't want to learn right now I just want to relax right like I feel angry I want to be angry I don't want to control it you know what makes it sadic sadic is that they control themselves they conquer themselves that's what makes it sodic sodic no one's born at sodic by the way you become it sodic by Conquering the animal in you I have an animal in me that says look I want to eat I don't want you to share with me I want it I have an animal in me that says I want it for myself I have an animal in me that says I want to get angry but you know what what makes a righteous person a righteous person listen carefully is that you control your animal you trap your animal you control it you harness your monkey look at this the word from sadic s k the letter K means what monkey the two letter root sad in Hebrew what does it mean sad and shabis means to trap or to hunt aad is a side the way you make a trap is you put sides around it what's someone who's righteous someone who traps and controls their monkey they control the animal in the them they're not ruled by the animal they control the animal that's sadic I'll show you something someone who's Kos someone who's kados even higher holy like kados he's K dash dash in Hebrew means to trample he tramples his monkey the S controls it the kados tramples it but a mullik who was a who who aik amik is the nation that represent all of the evil in the world if I spell out the word amalik I spell it like this am amalik spells Amal which means the toil the work of the monkey what makes them evil is they act like animals they don't let the soul rule them the R by the animals that we are beautiful you see the connection one last example everybody I'm going to quote to you now is zo how did we say God created reality he spoke the letters and the word came the world came into existence thear means word thear means thing right God spoke and through speaking came reality if you're a magician and you want to create something from nothing what do you say ab ab how do you say it in Russian how do you say in barkarian how you say kavkazi how you kavkazi you know it's interesting in every language I've asked this question many times in every language in the world the way a magician will always say I'm going to create something from nothing which is very hard it's called creation X nilo the only time it's ever been does God created the world he created something from nothing and he did it through the words of the world of speech correct that's the premise of this talk tonight what's the word that we say Abra Kadabra let me quote to you from SE is one of the oldest works that we have in cabala it's attributed to no other than Abraham we have it in our cabalistic literature called SE it's closed to me I I don't understand it but this I I have seen afam describes how God created the world listen to what he writes K said adabra adabra kabra which means adabra I shall create I shall excuse me me AB sure I wrote it wrong sorry K said look she said AB abara kabra which means I shall create as I speak AB Kadabra Abra Kadabra it's interesting that in every language we still retain that vesage of the original words of creation and we haven't forgotten it we don't realize what we're saying we're actually quoting a Zohar which is describing how God brought the world into existence my friends that's your language that's my language it's lashes it's a holy language it's a unique language it's the building blocks of creation the more you understand it the more you can understand God you can understand T you can understand you you can understand life trying to understand Tera trying to understand God's will without the holy tongue is literally like trying to swim without water or trying to breathe without the air if you don't know the Hebrew language things just don't make sense you have to know the language from the language you can understand reality and a lot of questions fall off because you're getting to the root of what's really there it's often times the English translation that causes us to be so confused you know I'll tell you one just last example I just have to say it you know the word for punishment do do you like the word punishment in Hebrew in English punishment does it ring with you Punishment No in Hebrew the word is Onish Onish you know I in Hebrew means an eye to look to think with your eye Nash in Hebrew means to fall back you know what punishment means look discover realize that you've Fallen back when God brings pain to your life it's because he loves you he wants you to realize you've Fallen that's Onish so when I hear that word in Hebrew in the Holy 10 I understand how God tried to communicate to me out of love when I hear the word in English punishment I get scared and turned off if you don't know the Hebrew language you're not communicating with God in the way God wants us to communicate with we got to know this language everybody it's your language it's my language it's been passed down for the last 5,769 years since the beginning of creation and we're very special people that we are the inheritors of this ability to connect to God through this language thank you for listening to me everybody enjoy talking to [Applause] you you all love
