To Live with the Divine is to Live in the Now | Sefas Emes Bo

today's class is dedicated to the loving memory of yenta bas haravareb menaka mendel her father's last name was eichenstein and then she married akiva zilberberg and she passed away on the second day of shavat 5 7 7 8. a sole survivor from the auschwitz-birkenau death camps where she lost her entire family she went on to build a life and a family saturated with faith with kindness with a generosity and with dedication this class is dedicated by her dear son our beloved friend rebecca mendel zilberberg shlita and family tahini but sir better we're going to learn today a um we're going to learn today two pieces from the medrush rabbi from the madrid champions boy and the commentary of this fasamos i got a request since yesterday hayshvath was the yard set of the svasemas rabbihuda arya labe altered the second rebbe of gair the grandson of the first rabbi rabitsak mayor butcher mayor alto the hindu shahrim and his grandson the swasamas passed away commemorate his yard site each year by learning that swasaba so i got a request from gary my dear friends some girl hasidim to learn today a piece of the svasemas on parishes by which we have actually done recently a few times and people apparently really appreciate it so that's what we're going to do today as well you have to download your source sheets so go to the yeshiva.net t-h-e-y-e-s-h-i-v-a dot net the yeshiva.net you'll see on the top there's the video women's tuesday class if you click on it you will see on the top of the video an icon download and there you can open up the source sheets you can download the source sheets or it says view source sheets and they will come up on the screen as you wish okay let's begin i chose here two pieces of this facemas i hope to cover them both i was doubtful if i should choose two or one but i loved the second one so much that i couldn't resist my temptation so even though really the first one is a self-contained class but i thought we'll do the first one a little faster and then we'll get to the second one which is a little more intricate and longer and detailed but i also didn't want to skip the first one it's too good so uh let's get into it okay if you didn't download your source sheets please do that please do that now you can all hear me and see me right okay wonderful okay see the source sheets are loaded and so please open it up so you could follow you could follow the text okay let's get right into it the first piece as you see is from the svasa ms tophesh alef means in the in the secular calendar that would be 18. 71 that's just a few years after his grandfather passed away which means he was quite a young man and a new rebbe okay it's the last piece of tough let's give a little context again i'm going to do this piece a little faster than usual because i want to get to the second piece parsha's boy discusses the last three plagues uh the plague of locusts and the plague of darkness and the death of the male firstborn of the egyptians which ultimately broke para is stubbornness and he expelled the hebrews from bondage from egyptian slavery right there in the middle of that whole conversation something strange happens if we'll open up a hummish the sequence is a little strange now again people who learn hummus every year you just take it for granted you know that's the way it's supposed to be but really we shouldn't take these things for granted and that is the structure how a parsha is built so moisture is negotiating with para he's asking him to let the people go and parry ultimately gets upset and for the first time he warns him that if he comes back to see him he's going to kill him it's strange that for all the plagues previously despite the tremendous destruction that maisha brought upon egypt paris never tried to kill him there's a certain element of respect it's obvious on both sides there's a certain element of civility i would say respect rashi says that hashem actually told maisha that he should show respect to the king he should show respect to para and pari respects maisha but finally para is like if you come back i'm going to kill you you're going to die and maisha says granted i will not come back again and hashem tells maisha there's going to be one more plague following which he's going to expel you in the meantime i wanted the jewish people should borrow from their friends from their egyptian colleagues vessels of silver vessels of gold and the grace of the nation is in the eyes of the egyptians maisha's covered marsha's honor it says maisha's name is great among the egyptians among the servants of paris and among the entire egyptian nation that's when hashem tells moshe this is right before he leaves pyro for the last time that midnight which we call midnight of the cedar the night of pesach i'm going to come out and in a in a very extensive epidemic or plague each one of the egyptian male firstborns will die and that's when paris is going to beg you to get out of his country at once now suddenly exodus this is the end of exodus chapter 11. suddenly exodus chapter 12 takes a very uh very serious turn a very winding turn if you want this ishmael is the beginning of perry kid base hashem starts speaking to maisha and iron in the land of egypt and he says something that seems completely irrelevant which literally means this month is the head of the months it's the first one of the months of the year why is that relevant here suddenly we start talking about the jewish calendar we're in the midst of this drama maisha's confronting paris paris warning mahesh i'm gonna kill you god says gonna be one more plague and you guys are out of here wait wait we got to talk about the calendar it's very nice to talk about the calendar but everything has its time and its space and rashi actually explains that when you read the well possible puzzle is actually telling you two things it says this month is the head of all the months it's the first one of the months of the year it seems redundant so rashid explains how actually is referring to the new moon this was the first day of the month of nisin and hashem showed moisha the new moon this new moon that was just born after the moon disappears at the end of the month and the moon is reborn so to speak it reappears after the milot after its its birth when there is that uh the juncture between the sun and the moon and the earth between the moon and the sun and the earth so we can't see the moon and then the moon reappears it's called rashi points to the new moon and he says this when you see this new moon that's when you have to establish that day as the new month in the continuous cycle of months that consist of 29 or 30 days when you see this guidance when you see this this newness that means it's the head of the month it's roy schneider's the first day of the month then he adds and this month shall be the first month of the year the calendar the first month traditionally begins with nissan at least in various calculations although sometimes the first month is tishrei or that's a separate discussion and then god changes the subject again and he says on the 10th day of this month i want every jew every jewish family to take a sheep or a goat there's going to be what's called the carbon pacer the passover offering and the whole story about the first satay that would be conducted the first night of pesach the night before they would leave the country granted but this opening statement is extremely apparently ostensibly completely out of place doesn't belong here it's a very interesting topic we're learning about the laws of the new moon and we're talking about the calendar of the jewish people interesting but it doesn't really and does not belong says this fascinates me why is this the opening statement that god tells my shannaran right in the midst of the drama of getting out of egypt and this is actually the first statement he speaks to them outside of the plagues and and dealing with pyro and in fact this is the first mitzvah that the jewish people receive as a nation the mitzvah of the new month why is that the first mitzvah if you had to think about it the creator of the world is liberating his people and the first mitzvah he wants together what should be the first mitzvah this is it somehow this is deeply connected to the redemption from egypt y says this facebook the definition of exile says beautiful words definition of exile is there is what's missing is a sense of newness there's nothing new as we have already written earlier in parish most same year islamic 1871. on the pasek it says in the beginning a new king arose over egypt a king who did not know joseph and he is the one who began to oppress and subjugate the jewish people and we focused there on the title on the interesting term of malach a new king and over there he explained that length and it's not it's not the discussion of our class but what happens there is that the hidden of the jewish people the natural creative energy that is always renewing itself and replenishing itself was somewhat not somewhat was abducted and hijacked by paris he is the one who stole the kayak during redemption what does redemption mean what does google mean we say well they left egypt they were free they were not slaves they can decide what they want he says that's not what gula means that may be the geographical definition you know what gula means gula means when it becomes clear that everything is divine energy then you're not a slave when it becomes clear that everything is the use of hashem that's what the definition of guru means that's when you're liberated from your own external trappings from your own confinements from your own addictions from your own habits when you become aligned with your true posture which is infinite when you reveal ev when it becomes clear that everything is god's divine energy that's gullah he says um from this always comes the follow-up experience of newness because divine energy is always new come on come on like we say in davening every day this is right before krishma right the end of the first blessing he who renews in his goodness he renews every day continuously the work of creation and many adds may you bring forth a new light over at syria i'm adding that even though i think the gary rebecca is used to daven and the nusakh of the balatanya and he doesn't he doesn't put an er huddersfield because he says we're talking about yoitse hamaires we're talking about the light of the of the past what do we see from here if you're in touch with the divine energy flowing through the world it's always new every day it's new so you'll say oh every day it's new but that means 24 hours it remains the same he says thomas this is very easy to miss this point he's so brief it should have said every day he renews the work of creation what's the talmud he says constantly every day not every day again and again but hollyoam and what do i mean every day comment throughout the whole day in other words every moment every millisecond i'm using the word millisecond every moment of creation is new the divine energy never gets stale it never gets old we have this in halacha and allah we have when something is 24 hours all with a pot right the taste absorbed in a pot if it's 24 hours old the halal definition is nice gum it exudes a taste it exudes a flavor if i cook now something in the pot let's say you cook something deli in a pot you cook chicken in a pot and now you cook i don't know pasta with cheese in the same pot right so you have a problem because the the flavor of the meat comes out of the pot it was absorbed in the pad and now it goes into the to the milks so so you have now issues it's a question but the distinguishes between a pot that was used within the last 24 hours or a part that was used before the last 24 hours it's called nice and tom lip gum it exudes a flavor but it's a blemished flavor it's stale it's old it doesn't enhance the new dish because it's too old what every halacha in in the concrete elements of jewish law stems from a spiritual energy if it's old if it's more than 24 hours old if it's before the behold if it's before the new day it's already it's already stale how do you know you're living with god you're always living with newness people speak about the power of now the power of now to live with hashem means to live in the present moment why why can't i live in the past why can't i live in the future the answer is because the divine energy that is now flowing through your body through your organism through the cosmos is new so if i'm living with yesterday or with a week ago or with a year ago or at the decade ago or some of us with centuries ago intergenerational trauma if you know what i'm talking about i'm living with an energy that's gone in other words i'm living in a dead world i'm living in a dead life i'm living in a dead zone if you're in tune with the divine flow you're always living in the present moment i could learn from the past i should learn from the past i sh i could prepare for the future we prepare for the future the gomorrah says prepare before shopping for shop of course i prepare for the future is a wise person our sages tell us sees what's going to be born sees the future but i live in the present if i have to do something to fix the past i'll do something to fix the past i may have to say i'm sorry i have to make amends i may have to pay back a debt i may have to apologize i may learn about a mistake i made but when the where do i live i live in the present why because i'm a cades beethoven if you're in tuned with the divine flow of life it's always about now it's always about being fully present to what is happening right now somebody who forgets this it's very easy to forget this and this is what anxiety is stress of course it's caused often by scars and wounds of course serious trauma where i'm sometimes locked up in the past i can't even extricate myself i am locked up in an old story and i'm just living out that story so he uses the word somebody who forgets this and he is submerged within the confines of what nature tells him xiv about this person the posix says in caillous ecclesiastes chapter one verse nine cahellas al of peraktas en calcadas if you're living under the sun there's no news same old same old same news somebody once told me that uh many years ago i was in yeshiva so i was having an open conversation with one of the the principals there was a very open-minded person so i asked him if he reads any of the of the if he you know what he was reading and this so he told me that he used to have he used to have a subscription to a particular magazine and then he canceled the subscription i said why he says because after a while i realized that every week they were writing exactly the same thing it's just that the letters were reconfigured it was exactly the same thing there was no hiddish i didn't feel creativity nobody was challenging themselves nobody was going out of their trajectory out of their predictable comfort zones there was no kiddish if you live under the sun if you live within a world of nature of course you live in the past there's nothing new because i'm stuck but if i align nature with the divine flow going through nature i'm never stuck every moment is new because god is not stuck infinity is always renewing itself he's like why doesn't god get bored why is the energy not stale that's the definition of the divine definition of the divine is that it's infinite and therefore every moment there's a new scratches there's a new message there's a new lifeline there's a new heartbeat there's a new rhythm there's a new there's a new symphony there's a new song it's a beautiful story of the balatanya beauty such a beautiful story two stories actually he was once sitting in his room and and there was uh he he was sitting home but they had to go out for a little bit when he came back he asked the person who was there somebody was visiting him if he if he did anything on his desk on his table so he said yeah he changed the clock i don't know what type of clock it was then they had the sundials i'm not i have to remember the details i saw it many years ago so he said why why did you change it so he said that he he was a wealthy man he managed to purchase the most accurate accurate a clock at the time to be able to tell time and he saw that although his time there though his crack was wrong so there ever looked at him and he said it says in kabbalah that every hour there's another tsiru of shame havaya that vibrates through the universe which means hashem's name yud hey and vavan hey is four letters but it can be configured it can be configured in many different ways right it could be written you'd and hey or hey and you're involved in hey or verve and unit you know it could be so every hour of the 12 hours of the day and then you have the 12 hours of the night there's a different configuration of of the hashem's name which creates a different energy and on the top of the hour it changes it goes through the changing of the spiritual guards which he discusses also in chapter in tanya chapter 41 coincidentally so he says that the clock here in this room is based on those configurations it's more accurate than any other clock it happens to be when he was in prison he was in a dark cell in petersburg and one of the ways they would crush prisoners of course there's no windows and you don't know the difference in day and night so you lose sense of time so you don't even have the control of knowing what time it is people don't realize that knowing what time it is gives you a certain sense of autonomy and control in life even if you have nothing else they wanted to take that away from you too you become a complete slave and then somebody came in a minister came in and he said good morgan in russia and i said he said good morning or good evening how do you know what time it is so he said every hour there's another syrup another another unique flow of divine energy so you have the energy of a day 24 hours if it's energy from before that it's already stale but within the 24 hours you have every hour and then you have time at every moment that's what the balsamic taught disgust in tanya shara yikhadva muna perek alef based on madrish tillum on the possible creation happens every moment says when somebody is deeply connected to the inner life of hashem and everything there is always newness there's always this hachas there's a beautiful void from the slaana mireba i think it's he said we say in the haggadah and it's very now now we can understand why we say it in the haggadah in fact it's the beginning it's the opening section of that god after the islam the mithrilla in the beginning in the past our forefathers were idol worshipers but now god brought us close to his worst service so the islamist said there is a homolotical interpretation there are two philosophies in life there's somebody who lives with the philosophy of mithila they're living in the past what used to be that's what defines the present he says that's of the away desire that is a philosophy of life that is based on idolatry the act of when you're living with the now kervano now you know that you're living in the presence and the intimate presence of what does it mean how do i know that i'm living a life aligned with god i'm new every day is new every hour is new every moment is new this is there's a constant flow of creativity this is even if i'm doing what i'm what i'm doing today what i did yesterday but if you're in touch with the divine in it there's always a scratches there's always a newness you're never bored it's never the same old it's never repetitive i kahella said ain't called khadr there's nothing new under the sun there's nothing new if i live in that world of nature then everything is just what happened yesterday happens today and what happens today is a consequence of what happened yesterday and it becomes the cause of what happened tomorrow in many ways in science this is the difference between newtonian physics and the new physics einsteinian physics and especially the new physics of quantum quantum theory newtonian physics argued that if i can really know all of the facts of science today all the variables and all the facts that i can theoretically predict exactly what the world is going to look like because everything is just a continuous cycle that is born from previous occurrences and events and the same would be also with psychology if i could know everything about the patterns of your brain i could say exactly what you're going to be doing over the next 80 years without a single error obviously i don't have all the information we don't have all the data but that's just a problem are you who do your vla is just the problem i don't have the data but the new physics knows that's not to completely not the case it's a very different world this is not a static predictable world especially in quantum physics i'm just showing you how this idea is reflected also in the sciences of of today physics and psychology etc so now we come back to this point under the sun there's no kiddush that's what it means i'm ngos i'm an exile in exile means i'm just repeating a story everything that i see triggers an old story and my responses are predictable there's nothing new in my life somebody who lives in a state of gu ulah life is always new i'm never responding based on old stories old traumas old wounds i'm in touch with the divine infinite flow that's flowing through me right now and therefore every moment is an opportunity to recreate my life just like god recreates the world right now why am i not a part of that process god is telling me hello rabbi why why i'm trying to recreate you and i'm like no no no no no i'm busy with yesterday and it was like i'm trying to i have a i have a new life for you i have a new message no no no no no no i'm not ready i'm not ready i'm obsessed i'm still obsessed i'm still pos i'm still holding on of something god says doesn't exist anymore that doesn't exist anymore no it does exist in other words i'm the only one we are the only creatures who with our consciousness can refuse to become part of the hiskachus part of the new part of the newness of now we'll understand why the opening words before the redemption of egypt is this message he's not talking about a calendar he's not only talking about the moon he's talking about the definition of goula you were slaves we are now trying to get out of slavery what's the process of this is a gift that's given to you this this reality of newness of living life in the moment the power of now to live in the now this is not just an abstract gift that belongs to certain individuals who may be living in a different place this is given to you every single person every single jewish soul he says can arouse can open himself or herself up to this newness how he says when i can clear up my heart and realize that i am rooted in infinity and that everything is a divine flow and therefore i never get stuck in attaching old stories to my present moment this is the gift of goula and there is there is a sense here that even if i feel stuck right now i feel stuck i know that the next moment is a brand new moment with me which means it has new possibilities new potentials new energies so i'm not stuck opening myself up to hashem means opening myself up to infinite possibilities again i can't resist quoting quantum physics that you could never predict and define the state of any given subatomic particle all you can speak about is probabilities and your observation is ultimately what defines and what causes it to become fixed in one particular model which is the power of my mind my conception my consciousness which affects reality so deeply so sometimes i feel stuck i don't know what to do and i want to get into a place of sadness and of depression and of anxiety and what's the problem the problem is i'm going i'm going from google i'm going into galas i'm giving over my kayak to paris he says don't don't do that don't go under the sun always remember that your posture begins here on earth but it goes up above the sun the famous zayer says under the sun there's nothing new la elam and shimsha above the sun everything is new doesn't only mean the physical sun below and above means the concept under the sun means in the world that's predicted by external superficial natural perceptions or the world in which you're aligned you you align yourself with your own source you see yourself not just as a small victim you see yourself as part of a consciousness and this is the profound difference between the two special days in the jewish calendar on an ongoing basis we have every every week shabbos and we have every month what's the difference between the two shabbos as you know happens once in seven days but nothing astronomically changes on shabbos it's not like after six days something happens in fact till today we wonder how did shabbas come into the world rosh is a result of an astronomical fact the moon completes its orbit after 29 and a half days that's a fact just like our year is a fact the solar orbit is approximately 365 days and change 265 days and change these are astronomical facts shabbos is rooted in the beginning of voracious to the whole system of creation so there is the shabbos which is a day of rest and a day of rejuvenation it's a day of menuha it's a day to rejuvenate people rest in order to rejuvenate rosh means the new day of the month what's the difference between the two says this face shabbos shabbos the gemara tells us a foretaste of the future world messianic world we say in the benching of shabbos a foretaste of the world to come furthermore shabbos is pre-established nobody can change shabbos unlike there's a major difference in shabbos and shabbos shabbos is pre-fixed every week shabbos comes whether you like it whether you don't like it whether it's winter or summer whether it's a long friday or a short fight and by the way you're never ready right you ever realized if shabbos is four o'clock certainly you're not ready and if shabbos is eight o'clock who's ready well some people are ready i know just the numerous some people are never ready not the winter and not the summer there's always something to do before shoppers but shabbos comes it comes and nobody can manipulate it shabbos continues is very different traditionally was established by the jewish court by the sanhedrin and which could vary which could be one day or another could be the 30th day of the previous months or it could be the 31st day of the previous month even till today when we use already a fixed calendar which is sometimes one day sometimes it's two days which was one day last thursday but reshaders could be two days or it could be one day it traditionally beginning already with maisha and iron witnesses would see the new moon they would come to testify in the court now they could see the new moon the night after 29 and then reshredish would be day 30 but they may not see the moon that night maybe they don't see it or the moon didn't show up because of the various astronomical calculations and then which was a day later and who decided when rich was this was decided by the sanhedrin by the jewish court they would have to come together and investigate and go through all the astronomical calculations those who are learning rambam now got a little bit of a taste what sanhedrin had to do this was quite complex and intricate and then they investigated the witnesses and they said makudish makudas this day is holy shabbos is not dependent on anybody's initiative shabbos is fixed from heaven shkaidish is created by the jewish courts and because it's created by the jewish courts it has tremendous consequences because when does pesach begin if it's day 30 pesach begins a day earlier day 31 pesach begins a day later which means the prohibition against eating comets is a day later the obligation to have a say there happens a day later so there are very serious consequences and that's why you'll notice something very interesting the kiddush of shabbos ends baruch on shabbos we say god sanctifies shabbos and yumt if we say god sanctifies israel and time and the times shabbos he doesn't sanctify us so the gemara says because shabbos is cache of a kaimukvi of akaima like he says here shabbos is a gift from heaven it doesn't have to do with us we don't initiate it is the holiness that's created by human beings it's the kayak the power of best and it has the ability the divine gift to be able to sanctify time and say this is the first day of the month and as a result of this ten days later will be him kippur but they may also do it differently they may say no rich kaido is being pushed off a day so yum kipra is a day later where do we get this power to confer holiness on time where do we get the power that this is him kipra and if you eat on this day it has cataclysmic consequences where do we come to have that power that's why we say mekadesh is god sanctifies israel that we could sanctify time now we'll understand what he's saying hester on shabbos there's no concealment of nature come on in like we say in the kagavana which is a section of zohar you know in the darkening of friday night there's the ashkenaz before baku they go through the chapter what are the substances that you could use to light shabbos candles but a new and many others instead we say a section of zoya known as kagavanas it's a very very potent and powerful section of zoya that describes what happens on friday evening in all of the universes including in our world there's an expression there in the second part raza the shabbos raza the shabbos shabbos all of the stern judgments all of toxic energy miss abraham is removed from shabbos and she remains completely submerged in the oneness of the divine radiance as desire continues to describe which we say every friday night in that section known as kagavana that's what he says shaine has to the concealments of nature are removed from shabbos those who have sensitive eyes what we call spiritually microscopic eyes those who have antennas can detect on shabbos shabbos is a day when the veil of nature a clip does not eclipse the inner flow of energy so it's a day of khidesh but this is a gift from heaven of course does everybody feel this on shabbos not everybody feels it on travis everybody would feel it on shabbos they would naturally and organically be aligned with this but this is the real energy of shabbos and many of us do many many people do feel something you feel something on shabbos now you could say it's just culture you know you grew up with it and and your mother was calmer on shabbos hopefully and your father was a little calmer on shabbos and there was better food and there was once a week you could eat ice cream and eat snacks so therefore culturally our brain becomes used to that shabbos is a special day and a special energy okay so i'm not now here to argue this point uh you know how do you know the difference between culture your cultural upbringing and what's authentic but this facemas here obviously is based on this essential idea that shabbos is true obviously and that means the concealment of shabbos on shabbos there's no concealment rosh is different come say hi to everybody you want to come say hi to everybody this represents the ability to bring in the light of newness even into the weekdays which is not shabbos could be shabbos but it is a weekday it's a regular mundane day in the bay san miguel it was a special day they would bring carbonas we say halal rishikesh we don't say this the special things we sandwich these customs doesn't have all the prohibitions against labor like shabbos that's the shabbos is an island in time shabbos is a transcendental oasis shabbos is like the day the madrid says bashab is bombing shabbos is like the day within time where god says you can go you can transcend time in other words the divine energy is more apparent it's more manifest in the workings of the world and therefore there is the newness of shabbos which is the idea to be able to live with this newness in the mundane realities and the daily grind of our days of khoyal our days of mundaneness our days i don't want to say of profanity but our regular days does that totally be israel and this depends on the jew who creates rich not heaven earth heaven can't create rish khai desh every single month it was earth it was the jewish sanhedrin the great sages and scholars who were completely dedicated to terror who had to create commercial god completes and affirms my work so the madrid says on this in this parachute that's what he's probably referring to when is pesach when is when is sukis when is hanukkah when is purim when is lagbaomer you can mention any day of the month you know what hashem says how am i supposed to know well it's not exactly his words he says let's go eavesdrop into what's happening in the basmedrish in the yeshiva in the sanhedrin in yavin let's hear and then we'll know when kipper is we'll know when sukkah says say hi to everybody wave and we'll know when yomtif is you here look hell go i'm really like god completes what i do i do the work and i shouldn't say of course they if they said it's they got the power not me heaven can't decide if if a great rabbi says i had a prophetic vision god told me today is he's thrown out of the yeshiva i don't mean physically i mean it's completely inconsequential somebody says even a great sage i had a vision that god wants today should be rich it's irrelevant there's a halachic process that hashem gave the jewish people by mata and that becomes and that's the process now you might be asking me today there's a calendar everything is fixed so on this the rambam explains the ramban explains they were showing them explained something fascinating and that is the one who made the calendar who was a man named hilo nasir he was from the dynasty of the of of the of the hillel's family he lived in the fifth or in the sixth century and he created the calendar that we used till today and the reason for this is because the jewish supreme court would be dissolved and we wouldn't be able to create rush hours every month so that the sanhedrin at the time sanctified every rash till mashiach comes i want you to understand what this means they sanctified they established everywhere we don't follow a fixed calendar we follow the fact that they knew when rich is based on the calendar because the processes of the witnesses and the sanhedrin would not work anymore and they sanctified every ish and hashem agrees to that lakael gamer a lie and that's why we could say today is himkip why is today mkipper because ten days ago was rashford maybe a day before zurich was yesterday maybe the answer is it's the jewish people makadeshi israel is sanctified so that says this is a different kiddish this shabbos we have called dinimus abram that within the day to day grind you can always live with newness if it's our cost of rashes all this will give us a deep understanding into what rashi says uber madrid she quotes from the madrid fascinating story god tells me that means he's pointing to the new moon what happened why is he pointing he could just explain to him that most jewish laws hashem doesn't have to point to the physical object maisha knew the world the answer is hazal tells us moshe could not figure out how this works i had a tremendously difficult time in understanding the birthing of the new moon what what size it has to be in order to be able to make rosh so hashem pointed with his finger to the moon in the heavens and he said kaze re-ever kadesh you see this moon when you see this moon you know this is the time for ish and then rashi in parish's boy asks the question but i don't understand we see clearly that hashem used to communicate to moshe during the day so how can he point to the moon you can't see the moon during the day great question so rashid says he told them this parasha right before sunset he showed him the moon as it was becoming dark you know at the end of the day sometimes before sunset you can already see the moon that's rising because even though the sun hasn't set yet but it's about to get dark so that's when he showed him the moon so it's not a contradiction this is what rashi says in parish's boy it's all based on the matters of shmini and bamidbaraba parashat what's the meaning of this what does all of this mean why did maisha have such a difficulty with understanding works astronomy is complicated it's complex but why was moisture uniquely perturbed by this she'll say but he didn't know what the moon has to look like in order to be at makadesh but the truth is the moment you see the new moon after the moon was eclipsed for a day or two at the end of the month because what happens is the moon orbits and at some point the moon waxes of course and then the moon wanes and becomes smaller and smaller and then when there's the perfect juncture between the sun and the moon and the earth we can't see the moon at all because the half a ball of the moon is facing the sun and therefore it's reflecting the light of the sun but it's completely turned away from us and therefore we don't see anything when the moon that's called the milo dalavana that's called in jewish law it's called the moment at the moment the moon is reborn and then when the moon starts moving away a little bit so now we could start seeing a little tiny sliver and as it orbits it can it its orbit continues and it grows it moves further and further from the sun the more we can see the reflection of the sun of the moon and that's the process that occurs every single month so the moment witnesses or martial banu could see a new moon even though it's a little sliver the little tiny crescent of the moon is good for kid what was the great difficulty that moshe could not fathom and hashem had to point and we say it couldn't happen during the day it had to happen at night but he didn't speak to him at night so it happened right before night as it was getting dark what's the meaning of this says this fascinates this has to all be understood as a metaphoric allegorical message the gomorrah tells us in your the difference of moisture and other prophets moshe represents an aspaclaria deniers because means it would be like a transparent transparent prism through which everything becomes clear it's like when you're looking outside through an open window or even through the glass and everything is very clear no image no vision is eclipsed your vision is 20 20 and that which you have access to you have direct access to this is called aspaclaria de nara his vision was full of light of radiance prince shabus it's so brief like you have every word here you have to figure out what he's saying on shabbos it's very interesting thing you ever notice you know we we we sometimes grow up with things and we fail to notice the intricate structures what's the structure of the governing of shabbos friday night we we always do the first three blessings are identical and friday night we start off you sanctify the seventh day for your name okay make sense shabbos morning right after attack what do we say what do we what should we speak about now shabbos right yes moshe rejoices with his gift you know why because you called him a faithful servant and then you placed a crown of glory on his head when he stood on mount sinai and you gave him two tablets excuse me i thought with shabbos i'm praying to god i'm talking about shambhas why are we now suddenly talking about mushrik with a crown with an evidence then you go to music after attack what do you say tikanta shabbas again troubas i think it makes sense what's the connection with shabbos but the truth is each one of these passages captures the energy of shabbos and that particular tree love shabbos says this fassem is moshe represents shabbos shabbos does not we also know where the champ has come to the jewish people from you know the story the madrid says that that moshe was brilliant and he told para that if you want the slaves to work well you need to give them a day of rest and he got for them shabbos this is in egypt before the jews knew about shabbos so he got them the day of shabbos later when hashem gave the jews the gift of shabbos he gave mitzvah of shabbos which was in of course later at mount sinai so yes moishe rejoiced this was his idea in egypt and he realized that god affirmed it and he gave the jewish people shabbos why is moisture the one who gives them shabbos because moshe is shabbos maisha lives in hiddush moshe lives in newness moshe lives above the sun not under the sun moshe's pasture philadelphia isha like him his pasture is always aligned with infinity shabbos there's no concealment so how is moisture supposed to understand rishkiddish that's not maisha it's kashmirisha not moisture couldn't understand astronomy he couldn't understand this was the science that created the notion of monotheism when he saw the the intricate relationships of everything existing in our planet and in the cosmos you know how how it's all intricately designed and working together with the sun and the moon and the sunset and sunrise and moonrise and moon so the tsasama says niskasha maisha maisha had a hard time understanding this whole concept that you need the day to create kiddush that you need the day to create because in the world where there's no concealment everything is always new this is you have to have the munna you have to have the awareness that everything is ultimately divine and therefore you can have a newness in it is a gift from heaven that moishe is in touch with yes has a hard time with him hashimoto's so he had to take moshe into a place of darkness twilight zone now moshe can't really go into the place of darkness why because moshe is full of light the gemara says like the face of the sun the face of joshua yeshua is the face of the moon rich is a product of the moon not of the sun moisture is the face of the sun sun doesn't go through sun doesn't wax and the sun doesn't wane the sun represents stability consistency the sun is perpetual the sun doesn't go through moods the sun doesn't get stuck the sun doesn't go into a depression once talking about the moon the shredisha was working so he was describing that the moon represents a person goes up and then this the moon is shining in the 15th night of the month and then you start going down and then he says and then for two days he's completely in quarantine on lockdown he disappears he disappeared from the planet to dissipate from the cosmos he's in a complete depression but he comes back he had a bad day but he comes back like she doesn't have this in fact that reason says moisture didn't go untouched to straw because israel is the face of the moon and moisture is the face of the sun and the sun does not want to embarrass the moon if the sun would come out the middle of the night when the moon would cast it was casting its radiant glow on earth what would happen the moon's light would become irrelevant iriza that's why moshe didn't go in texas throw the sun doesn't want to embarrass the moon comes it says the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun incredible teaching all connected you see how it's all connected so someone doesn't make all these connections but i think they're very appropriate name moshe can't understand this whole concept he doesn't live in the process of the moon yeshua does not maisha i once gave a share in parishes yeshiva.net that moshe at the end of his life was taken over by jealousy of yahushua and then he says better to die a thousand times than to be jealous once and we explained moishe's jealous of yahushua what happened so we gave them a whole shirt that jealousy is a product of the moon not of the sun the smoon can be jealous of the sun the sun can be jealous over the moon when moshe starts experiencing this quality he knows that it's already the era of yahushua it's the face of the moon it's not the face of the sun very very powerful idea of rebecca where jealousy comes from jealousy comes from want from lacking the moon can be jealous and the moon was jealous the gemara in khulandaf sama tells us about the whole story of the jealousy of the moon which is the source of rosh that's why the moon diminished itself and goes through this whole process so moshe can't understand it i'm sorry god says moishe you're the jewish leader you have to understand it so he takes motion to a place of darkness twilight zone because he only communicates to moshe during the day because by moshe everything is day he goes into a place of twilight moshe we're learning now in the moment of terror uh parishes boy right we're going to continue tomorrow morning why moshe did not give us the name zvoice all the names of hashem moishe gave us besides the names voice hannah gave us the name zweis and what did we explain all the names represent that syllabus swais represents syracuse can't give that name moisture is in the world of oneness the world of oneness is always infinity is never old it's never stale that's the the connection with the miami parishes boy on the pasek vahi betsam isaiah yatsuko siva is hashem moshe doesn't give the names the first one to give hashem the name zweis and then her son shmuel calls hashem swiss and then the later prophets do it frequently hashem alaikum always all connected to the same theme so hashem has to take motion to a space into a zone of semi-darkness bana says you see life sometimes gets dark and you know what happens when life gets dark you have to know that there's always an opportunity for kids when life gets dark and life gets challenging and life gets stuck you feel you're stuck and you're in a place of concealment and you're confused and you're overwhelmed and you're stressed and you don't know where to go from here and all the old stuff are coming up and you're feeling depressed and despondent and that's the moment you have to be able to expand your spiritual and psychological posture you have to be able to align it with a muna to be able to know that god is here right now infinity is here right now and there's a new way to look at it and there's new possibilities and there's new energies and you can experience rebirth you're never stuck it's sometimes hard it's painful and it comes at a moment of darkness we see the moon at night this is a gift that when it's dark you should be able to renew yourself you don't need the moon during the day you need the moon during the night you probably know the story of khalim and the passage continues to notify him that hashem and his name are one that's i have to tell you this line i do not understand what this facebook is trying to say there's some some rem as he's seeing in the word hase and i see i have here semes with footnotes where they try to give references and x and some sources but i see the editor here also didn't write anything so i just don't understand what this line means what's the connection there's another five okay if somebody if somebody understands please email me or write it in the comments on the yeshiva.net on this shirt i would appreciate it very much because i don't know what this line means well sorry sometimes you just need that munna you need the faith sometimes i can't see it i'm in darkness i can't see it i'm not in the state of shabbos i'm going to stay i'm in a darker state what is rash that's the first mitzvah that god gives the jewish people when they're still in egypt you want to be redeemed physically first you have to learn what redemption is spiritually what does it mean to be in a goal of consciousness you're not living on the parade you're not a slave the power of eschatos belongs to you because you're living within an infinite flow of energy that's passing through you and then every moment is an opportunity for newness new perspectives new potentials new possibilities new dreams new energies i'm only stuck as long as i tell myself i'm stuck as long as the story in my brain tells me that i'm stuck but if i can open myself up through a muna to a new reality to the real reality which flows in the world especially on shabbos and our dish but rich is just a paradigm for the whole month it's not only about the paradigm which means the head of the month the head doesn't only live in the head the brain is the central nervous system that includes and invigorates the whole body so it's just connected to the whole month but when that happens i could live in the world of okay i thought we'll be able to get to the second piece but we'll leave it with this i'm gonna take a few questions okay question number one you explained that the basham to teaches that every millisecond the world is created anew i heard that the rugged travagon said this as well is that the case i don't know it was said both that every millisecond the world is created anew and also that it's a daily process every 24 hours the path assumes a different status after 24 hours which is it is the world recreated every millisecond or is the world recreated daily so i explained in the class if you'll if you'll if you'll replay it i explain that there is a you just like i'll explain it to you rosh hashanah it says there's a life force that comes into the world it's for the whole year that's why it's called the head of the year but the head of the year is like the brain the brain is not enough the brain now through the nervous system has to transmit the energy and the messages to all the limbs and the organs of the body so it's a collective energy that's then branched out throughout the day's day the same is true every month the same is true every week shabbos and the same is true every day with the 24 hours but then there is the kiddish of every single moment which is more specifically detailed about that millisecond it also says moshe couldn't understand how to build the menira is there a connection it also says that he didn't understand about the schrotzen hashem he had to show him which animals you can eat which animals you can't eat which fish are kosher which would the insects are not kosher the birds etc those are three things that says that maurisha had a difficulty with yes there's a mimer from the tsum tsai explaining why these three things but it's beyond the realm of this class baser hashem will get to it one day what you said is really a great gift that every moment every second is a gift that's why it's called the present it's a present the problem is how can i access this how can i really live with this how can i internalize this message hearing the words is one thing but allowing it to be integrated in my system is not easy do you do this can you do this can you teach us how to do this i think this is part of avoiding hashem this is what it means to serve hashem the serve hashem means to live with this i'm using this word today with this pasture of self i think this is one of the great messages of what it means to serve god to serve god means that you're never a slave right i find it interesting usually it sounds like avoided hashem means that you're a slave what he's telling us here is available means that you're never a slave a slave is repeating the same story again and again a slave is subjugated to the circumstances a slave lives in a confined space avoids hashem really means that you redefine yourself and see yourself from the vantage point and the perspective of infinity and therefore there's always something new there's always something fresh there's always something invigorated and that's why people who live with avada's hashem are never bored not with themselves and not with others and not with life you want to know if i do this i sometimes try to do it am i always successful i'm not always successful now the reason he says maybe he means zeke lee van veyo zekely van veyo this is my god and i will beautify him but he says that it teaches us hashem i'm not sure what the connection is and here it is wasn't the concept of shabbos known to adam and passed down through the generations surely kept at least by some people yeah and it says that the others the patriarchs and the matriarchs observed the whole terror before it was given but collectively the jewish people were not observing shabbos until a later stage it says that the mitzvah of shabbos was given to them in the place of mara that's only in parishes bashar but yet maishrabenu convinced para to be able to give them a day of rest which was an amazing accomplishment this was so beautiful and so powerful and so inspiring amazing insightful it needs to be absorbed and sheared how do i absorb this and how do i share this well it always begins with learning and internalizing and then practicing really exercising this ability and trying to live life from this perspective to give a practical exercise i can give you a practical exercise let's say today you get into a situation and somebody makes a comment to you that triggers something very uncomfortable in you maybe your husband maybe your wife maybe a child maybe a a friend maybe a whatsapp an email a telephone call person-to-person conversation maybe a sibling a family member and you'll see right away if you follow your thought patterns that it's bringing up old stories about them and your relationship with them and you're right away in a negative very pessimistic mode here he goes again here she goes again they're so selfish they're so clueless they're so careless they're so apathetic they're so ambivalent they're so spineless they're so insecure they're so narcissistic they're so difficult right and this is miserable and you really opened up a filing cabinet on them in the google that exists in your brain which is actually much more efficient than google and you brought it all into the present moment and you're already responding from that place but what if you actually did not attribute any story to any event any old story to anything that's happening now so you can observe your trigger but then you say this is a completely fresh moment it's a new moment i am new he is new she is new i want to respond from my newness and i'm going to respond from a completely new place try it out and you'll see the consequences when you live in newness you live in a new world when i live in an old world i live in an old world that was brilliant now when i live in a new world the world is actually new and when i live in an old world the world is new but i can't see it because i'm refusing to see the newness in the world so i impose an old model on a new world in other words i'm not living in the real world i'm living in an old world because i am imposing that perspective on the world based on my own perceptions but this this this is not just this is the point by mysterabenu you know this is shabbos here is even in ghalos you can introduce this reality but it takes conscientious focus and attentiveness it's really a very liberated place to be in but i have to work on it why are the jewish people then compared to the moon the gemara says in sukkah israel diamond lavana mine in love we fix our calendars based on the moon we're compared to the moon i think now we have the clear answer because one of the unique gifts of the jewish people is that even in the darkest moments we always live with kiddush with his hatches with the faith and the awareness that this is a new moment and we are not going to surrender to the darkness and that's the uniqueness of the moon the uniqueness of the moon is it rises and it falls it waxes and it wanes it disappears but it never completely disappears it always finds the courage to renew itself with even more vigor and more strength and that's really the story of the jewish people i think it's i think the connection is now very very clear another question is because hashem was telling moisha not only is this the image of a new moon that establishes the new month but it's this new moon of this month that is connected to hashem's name and essence which is one there is opinion there is an opinion that the world was created in nissan rabbi yeshua rosh hashanah of perhaps for that reason the month of nis in the month of creation according to that opinion and the fact of creation shows that hashem is one and his name is one what you're saying i also understand to be true when it comes to changes and advances in avoidance hashem one has to continuously recalculate their abilities like the story of the baby elephant i don't know the story of the baby elephant maybe you could remind me the story but it's certainly true in away this hashem what was my avoid this hashem yesterday may not be my avadas hashem today and it may not be my voice hashem tomorrow every moment there's the question of what hashem wants for me right now i may be in middle of something and i have one trajectory of how my service of god is supposed to look like but then something comes up and at this moment my avoider changes it's a different experience and i have to have that flexibility to be able to go out of getting stuck in my religious comfort zone sometimes it's very hard for us if my conception of avoidance hashem is this and it becomes locked into a fixed model of finiteness part of avoiding hashem is to be pliable to be flexible not to get stuck to realize that there is a kiddush of course there's things that we do every single day we say krishna every day and we dive in every day and there's chakras and there's minutes and there's the mitzvahs we do every day or every week but within the lives of the jew there are so many moments where there are different opportunities and different missions and different journeys and different responsibilities absolutely there's a famous art i think of rep somehow la shmoop don't build a relationship with god that becomes cane it becomes absolutely fixed and it's never subject to any re-evaluation because sometimes it seems very religious but it becomes a form of religious paralysis of smugness of complacency this is what i do this is how i go this is how my life is working i'm going on this highway the problem is this highway is ending up in the river so sometimes you know people become stubborn about their postures and avoid this hashem and essentially it's going to take them to the wrong places even if they have good intentions i really have to be able to open myself up to the infinite flow of god and ask what does hashem want from me at this moment i wish you all a beautiful day tomorrow morning 7 30 we'll be continuing the minor of the balatanya and parishes boy about the name swahis thursday morning 7 30 we'll also have a shirt i hope to complete the miami basilagani of tafshan khafal of 1961 the three streams of kabbalah the ramak and the balsham and the balatanya and the other aspects discussing the splurging of the divine treasures bisbo zaitsras hashem that will be thursday morning 7 30. is this coming we're with to have a malava malka and a fabregan in honor of your swat shabbos is the tenth day of shvat the 71st yard site of the previous laboratory and that's going to be uh in the 10th and 20 for shay of course please follow the rules of the health officials to keep everybody safe and secure baser hashem and it's going to be live streamed on the yeshiva.net beginning with 8 30 pm everybody's invited if you could come live if there's no medical challenge we would love to see you if not you can join us virtually that's going to be this coming with shabbos in the meantime i wish you all a beautiful day a meaningful day see you tomorrow morning and to you all of you and may we all be able to create a new day create a new day you're finishing this class now it's a new day it's a new life it's a new reality it's a new world fresh people live with freshness what does it mean to be in the space of the divine i'm always open to newness open to newness yes yes so you know what it means to be to be in the moment you know what it means to be fully in the present moment not to attach anything from the past to the present moment it's big you have to be you have to be in complete awareness complete awareness of the self and of the infinity of the self in other words i have to not allow anything else to capture and abduct my mind i have to be completely open to the true energy of the present moment and with compassion help myself extricate myself from the toxic thoughts that want to take me away from the present moment and to be really present with life with people with myself with others it's very very powerful it's the beginning of redemption question what if i have a lot of pain about something how can i um how can i experience this that's what this facet finish is this is where amuna comes in it's not always you know jolly and easy and it's such a beautiful new moment there may be a lot of pain and the person has to be able to acknowledge the pain and and feel the pain but in the pain itself be completely present be completely present to your experience to what's being communicated to you by god at this very moment and that itself helps us actually be renewed in this very moment in other words when there's a moment of pain i don't have to escape it i don't have to run away from it i don't have to repress it i can actually be fully fully present in this moment and realize this is this is the energy that's flowing through me now i can let it pass through me and i can let it wash over me and i can let it flood me with its authenticity and its realness i don't have to be afraid to touch its texture to really to really experience to really feel it and that's part of of being really present in this very moment i don't have to run away from anything i don't i don't have to avoid i'm not busy avoiding i'm not busy numbing myself to things i let it come up i let it come up and i know that even if i don't understand it deep down the essence of it all is divine energy that's flowing through me now i know it's much easier said than done you can't really teach this with words this is this is a very very deep experience that we each have to find in ourselves and that's part of the promise this is something that you can do and you can figure out it belongs to you as it belongs to me i guess i'm going to wish you to have a new day and a new week a new month on a new year and a new life thank you i guess moishe was capable of making shakiano every moment but based on this maisha foreign
