The Power of Prayer (Pirkei Avot Class #7)

have a few small the ukim in the mishna and the second mishnah very out of commissioner the right place yeah so when we said so we mentioned about tonight explained even though the bartender explains azerbin yonah that means Ahmed means that was the reason why the world was created right yeah however the when the battery explains our Torah he says had the truth had the Jewish people not accepted the Torah then the heavens and earth would not have been created they said in the past or something I did not mean for my Covenant refers to the Torah then wouldn't have made the whole world right and everyone knows the famous idea that the world was really for two thousand years the world was not really fixed until the Clarissa accepted the Torah and then that will became firm now says why the button we said this quickly last week or two weeks ago that he had a problem because we said whether it's a bit big Dash or referring to tefila a part of the Torah the part and parcel of the of the of the Torah so if you're saying for the world was created for the Torah so that includes everything so therefore we want to say that um the alatora means is referring to the fact that was waiting for cloudy soul to accept the acceptance of the Torah itself right now has a problem with that why he said first of all we said that to himself says which we said right the button was in The Guiding Light what is that was something with this all of that door was constantly saying I mentioned last week right for each generation remember last week the generation pre-greek influence and Antigone Soho prayer after the Greek influence now posturing so so um so he says now he was like saying to people they should realize you should warning them you know you should realize you should learn Torah and and right telling them what to do however according to the bachelor because this question you might have had so when he says Torah it's not an azhara meaning as per se meaning you should be careful you know what Torah means what was created for Torah keep the Torah it's like a statement had it not been for the church or accepting the Torah hasinai then we'll be in trouble and then when he carries on saying you should realize the world stands on Avada for you should be yourself right with David following me so it's not it's not Consciousness it's not it's disjointed should be saying you have to be careful learn Torah good you know double well dude because that's the whole purpose of the world Etc you're with me so according to what the way the battle is saying it the first one is it's a statement you should know because they accepted Torah very important by the way be careful about and and because that's why the world was created follow me get incongruence over here okay now um one point on that when it says that I'm not accepted the Torah that just you know just to touch upon the the idea of coverage however so some of vanilla not too far away so it was raining yesterday I know I know the weather that's that's uh must be coming it's like English summer so far with anyway um uh yeah so what is so these are the famous question you know um like all the versions let's go back to say tonight I'm not accepted to talk you know what was the point so another idea saying the whole point of the Revelation I came back at that college ball who everyone saw you know the greatness of Hashem but here the the nura says accepted by the acceptance of the father we said referring to the actual acceptance of the Torah so I think I said last week I think that we said this you show me where it says that the the Kabbalah the Kabbalah itself even if they didn't actually do anything yet right is very very important you could say how they not accepted it acceptance is just sign on a dotted line they didn't actually do anything yet right they said so this is what you show me this is a famous Chariot now which he learns from NASA he asked on another mission which we'll get to me if you remember it and we get there one day when it says so he asks how can how can a person one talks about um and his is my sin how can it be that a person is Massimo more than his if you understand to mean learning and learning so how can it be that you must see me more than when you learn if you haven't learned then you can't know you understand it doesn't make sense it's a no-brainer yeah in America so he explains based on now seven ishma that he says a very importantly sword the person honestly takes upon himself to do something here Kalisto was taking the whole the whole shebang right the whole time we thought but whatever person accepts upon himself and he does and he wants to do it and there's a slight technical problem over here he doesn't actually learned all that everything else but he wants to this is very rough things and then Castro they doesn't really know but he mummy she saw it you know went to a few shows and he's the truth of the Torah and he wants to go for it yeah but he means it he really means it but you say look Charlie I mean you have to sit again we learned he got into it you got excited and you realize it but you know there's no way you know especially unfortunately in the pool heavy like in America some of them are like they're nothing nothing but really you know garnished I mean complete like going you know nothing and they come in so it's going to take time it takes time physically it takes time is to learn the things you know even if he's just picking it up by going to people on Shabbat still takes time there's a limit you know how can he do it so he says but because that honest Earnest acceptance and you know undertaking Hashem reviews it to a certain extent as if he did everything as if he did everything already even though he doesn't know and he can't do it and he doesn't even learn about it yet but now seven nishma he says that clients were given the skies if they did everything with me so that's the importance of the Kabbalah my parents say a person takes on the undertaking how a real undertaking how important is follow me okay no another point is I saw this thing I've been burning ethics or Sinai he says in the order why it says mentioned first right now if we're going to follow the Patriarchs right and Torah is right so if we're going to follow that so we should say Allah right that's the basis the Jewish people I tell you around we do Torah which says that the the Torah and limous that when we talk about La Ahmed that is everything and he gives an example from the Sasha and Savannah of England right came and fought with yakovino and made him limp Etc yeah why did you know he explains means basically the southern I mean everyone who called him right some of them was promised he's going to be the progenitor of the Jewish people right Etc and you know and they're going to go down to me so from many then was chosen right around every right he was on one side the whole rest of the world on the other side he is going to be the Jewish people so I didn't come in yeah why didn't he woke up with Jacob which I'm saying and before before the before the SWAT team so no sorry after he's coming back from the van so why why I need them so he said because he looked at ravino and he saw you know he knew fine yeah I mean it's nice let's make that doesn't make a nation necessarily a very kind hearted people doesn't make him special or Eternal in any particular way when he came to Israel he also saw five be our prayer houses fine because we're going to have a shoe you know I'm saying no problem you know go and go and dump it in the show but um all the thing he said he said um where was it uh-huh one second how he said he said very nicely said right he said he said this time the Communists right in communist Russia they allowed some shoes to stay open the Russians the Communists but he couldn't learn you couldn't learn English that was forbidden you have a shoe in the Communists with 80 years there were a few Shores and prayer houses planned because they knew if that that's all they're going to allow just to enter the Jewish people with me says but when he came to Iraq who represents and you're going to have you know etc etc that is going to continue to reduce people forever oh then he came get it then he came because the Torah is it the Torah is the life source of the Jewish people that makes us into a nation obviously you know belittling that but that's primary following me so therefore it's Torah and chronologically you're going from Abraham yeah okay now um if it wasn't whether yeah he brings over there the Cobra not and I don't know because it brings him that say that the heaven the Earth but we know nowadays that the um the uh right foreign tell him so the Gomorrah um asks over there that we know universities he says an amazing thing he says that the simple understanding is to realize how how important to Fila is yeah said this which was amazing but he did amazing right it's not very amazing it was amazing they didn't mean intention and there which is the one that we set on the you know on the absoluteism specifically that's but the main one right takes each line I mean this and this he learned this concept and that concept of and he says forgive him through his now if you look in the corbinot there's no Corban for amazed you understand it doesn't work right and get forgiven right as I'm saying there's no Quran you can't get out of it and yet here it doesn't matter for something deep amazing so that means but actual doubling achieves more than even the Quran yeah you can achieve more throughout than even that's mind-blowing yeah that's the words of benign that's what he says okay that's a simple understanding of what he says over there it is now um the last point is now here it's interesting when the about the new explains what is an example um the first thing on the list I just want to say okay clearly hear that killed him with that now um the it's interesting but he says is to help someone out which I mean someone else some old lady needs help clean and they thought well you know helping and this and that the first one is foreign no it's not the same you understand you have to have 500 people and waste a lot of money investment they were talking about but the more you have the friends for someone else now um it could be it could be some I'm just thinking now that you know you don't understand the connotation is um like we say it's a it's a kindness you're doing something you're going out of your way for someone else so sometimes you might think it's your friend and this and that you don't have to go out there's no uh self-sacrifice over here he's a friend I also want to go and dance make him happy so what's the you know it could be you're right it's a hasid because the mind says the kindness to him the thing about it it's a big deal so I hope once um says they said what's the connection very nice what they're going to do is I can rebuild this we're going towards in the three weeks so it reminds me but right well what's fun going to do now yeah so we know it is but it is if you rebuilt that's part of the rebuilding of the destruction of Israel what's the connection so he said that they said a beautiful shot he said that sometimes but why was why was why was saying back to McDonald's why was it right baseless hatred so he said it can be the following scenario someone um had a friend who wants to go Mr American sir the hatan has a mutual friend and those two friends are Arch enemies Mark comes about comes they had some fight in Yeshiva and they haven't spoken each other for years hey each other's guns not a very healthy situation they hate each other and so he wants to go but the ankle is going to be there you know what I mean so he forces himself to go two ends of the hall doesn't look like Uncle in the eyes you know he's not gonna it's not a look him in the eye and then you have the dance this and the other and they're going around and you know everyone joins in a circle and Yankees looking for the guy Nixon to hold his hand and lo and behold who is it you understand so he's like you know yeah he's not when the whole he hates the guy and then you see the Qatar looks at him and she's smiling right so what does he do he grabs boys his hands and he dances they're both smiling away dancing right make him happy it's a beautiful shot so he says sometimes it is you're doing the chicken of what caused the homemade yeah sometimes involve you to meet Gabe on the center for someone else in order to make someone else happy right you go upon above your own selfish you know issues rights of it so it's like what we're talking about and also that explains yeah yeah and um that's one point that's one idea um it says you hear that story that uh his first name says on the grandson wanted the grandson of avadia he spoke a couple weeks ago do you remember that story he said he says no he said the story about the guy with crew time right right so oh that's an amazing thing that was it that was a different story apparently the story with I can't remember who is I have to remember the name I said next week with you later I've been one of the big group I live in Switzerland schweitz who before the war I think it was before the war his father this brother's father was also big in a big Grove and one evening his father said to him come with me we have to go somewhere the one in the neighboring Village that said sorry about everyone he said why what so just come we have to do something and what was it apparently there was never some known Jew in this Village somewhere outside where it was in Switzerland who passed away and he heard that the goyan was no next of kin and the goyen wanted to bury him in the Christian Cemetery because the law was he there for three days or something that was it you know lord of the land citizen they have to bury you know even though they hang up you hang around in the morgue for them before they cremate them I know the cremate as well and very many Christian Cemetery so is this this son right we're going to do a you know mid Mitzvah and we're gonna go and they went and they and they buried they buried this person in a proper a proper burial um you know because that as it's supposed to be in the in the Jewish cemetery right in the nearest Jewish cemetery but later a year or two late whatever this this this person this became a Ralph but the Bacha was sent his father sent him I think 12 Belgium and where was where everyone and one of the surrounding European countries to learn to Yeshiva right second world war broke out and he tried to go back into Switzerland he had a Swiss passport right Switzerland was neutral so he was trying to get across the border but there were soldiers whichever country was I can't remember now he was trying to get in and he couldn't get in and he tried there than other until he um um he he managed to jump over a wall something that was one year one day one one you know one point jumped over a wall and he was running for his life and it was a cemetery in Pitch Black there was it was a bit curled and he was running around there and the soldiers saw him under which there was a Polish the German soldiers saw him go over and they jumped over also this High her huge wall and they were they were running they were they were looking for him right they were looking over here so he was he was scared for you know scared to death in both things and he found you know found some gray whatever and he hid they're back on the side but behind his grave and was just saying tell him why we could say in the background and they were looking there running around searching for like an hour or two and they just gave up and they climbed over the wall right and he was just so scared you didn't want to move do I mean he thought so he stayed there all night do I mean just till day break and then make sure you can see what's going on and he was gonna yummy he was gonna leave so he got up and he fainted again it was a grave that he dug with his father a few years previous this guy he buried the Mitzvah did such a he said to bury him it saved him from those soldiers in the second world war it's unbelievable
