Shalom Alim everybody welcome back to
the not the mid we are visitors we are
guests in mid where we actually spend
our mornings this is where our morning
classes are held since the War Began
these uh Co guys are most of them are
either in the army or you know in milim
serving time and uh they were very happy
to host us the Y group and uh so what
we're dealing with tonight okay we're
dealing with parot and we're going to
deal with chapter 3r chapter
3:14 and I want those to those watching
for the first time we are using the
clear for the basis of of our discussion
it's intense when it comes to the text
it's uplifting when it comes to the
spiritual principles and what we're
going to discuss tonight is absolutely
fundamental okay we're talking about the
name of God when God Appears and
presents himself to Moses at the burning
bush and he says to him oh by the way
there are links below where you can pick
up these Source sheets in Hebrew if you
want the source sheet in English you
have to send me an email and I'll put
you on the list but I encourage you to
use and follow the source sheet in
Hebrew Okay um so what happens in
chapter 3 and I'm going to just read 13
and 14 we're really going to just deal
with 14 but in Chapter 3: 13 Moses says
to God
behold I come to the children of Israel
and I say to them I'm going to present
you God to the children of Israel I'm
going to say to them the god of your
forefathers has sent you to me now
they're going to turn around and say to
me what is his name now unbelievable we
had a non-jew in our house tonight and
uh she actually said uh my wife was
discussing the difference between Jud
Judaism and
Christianity and the woman said what is
your God's name
so my wife she heard my preparation for
this year she said isn't that
fascinating so anyway Moses Moses says
you know what they're going to ask what
is his name what shall I say to them so
this is the verse we're dealing with God
says back to Moses right the Hebrews
theim Moshe number one we're going to
deal with the very fact that there's a
vomir God says to him and he says to him
what this name is who I am I'm going to
pronounce it properly from now at this
point later on you're going to see I'm
going to change the way we're saying it
you'll see
why I will be that which I will be and
then it
says why is theom twice because there's
actually a conversation going on between
Moses and God and it's not in the script
but then he said God said
so shall you say to the children of
Israel I will be has sent me to you
is the next question we're going to have
to deal with
is why is it when God presents himself
he uses a double
language twice the word is used but when
he says what you're going to tell the
children of Israel he only only uses one
phrase terminology one
name it was you tell them sent um me to
you that is what we're going to deal
with and I'm going to try to sum up as
we go along because as I said this is
text heavy and could be confusing but
I'm going to try to make it palatable
edible taste good meaning translate well
for
everyone so going to the Hebrew it
says now what I'm going to do from now
on is pronounce
it meaning it's like a name of God that
we're not going to use in vain and
pronounce when we're not using a whole
verse for teaching purposes is actually
permitted permissible but I just want to
get into the groove so the clear says
notice in the latter part of the verse
even after God God says who am I right I
will be what I will be and this is what
you're going to tell the children of
Israel that this name is only pronounced
once is said once has one statement
that's who said that's who is coming
that's who sent me to you so that's
going to be what we call the first
observation the first question the first
thing that we're bothered by or the
clears bothered
by furthermore
mAh so it also says vom Elohim El
mosha right we saw the word vom God said
to mosha now it says Moses name I will
be that which I will be the clear
says which means it should have said or
it could have said or it would have made
more sense to have said the
elim as he says don't we know we're
speaking to mosha why would the
narrative then say God said to Moses
didn't we already said Moses says to God
and then God says to Moses why couldn't
it just have said God said to him why
does Moses's name specifically have to
be mentioned and I'll just read the
words was it not Moses who he was
speaking with we already know that so
Vena Vena is the clear's introduction to
an answer or let's say insight into the
groundwork for the answer he says near
it
seems that very
language
is this is fundamental in
Judaism it teaches it reflects it
enlightens us that what that Hashem
himself he will be with
them
right I will be with
you now this is already getting into the
answer it's actually unfolding in front
of our eyes why did it have to say
specifically mosha why did it have to
say the
twice why was eya said twice by Moshe
but only once to the Jewish people to
Ben Israel because the clear is making
the statement that Moses was afraid of
or concerned about two things
MOS he had two
fears the first
fear that he himself personally would
not be damaged by this Mission by being
sent to Egypt I mean can you imagine
Egypt no nobody escapes it's very tough
over there the slavery the servitude the
lifestyle and yet Moses is going to go
down there remember he left he was
royalty he never served a day in his
life as a servant and yet he's going to
go down there and he's concerned for
himself now the Jewish people didn't
have that concern because they were
already there
enslaved what was the second fear that
Moses
had
that maybe perhaps the Egyptians would
not allow them to
leave the only thing that Jews the
Israelites feared was that perhaps
Pharaoh or the Egyptians would not allow
them to leave that's the only thing they
were concerned about having any damage
or pain or suffering they already were
in the midst of
experiencing that's why God actually
says to
Moshe I will be that which I will
be very similar to what he said above
and that would be on the source sheet
number
four in chapter 3:2 so we're only
talking about the verse before God said
to him for I will be with you look in
the
Hebrew I will be with you so that's what
he said already to
Moses now I did I do think it's very
important for us to read the Rashi on
verse 14 it's very it's fundamental I
think we should read it and try to
understand it so go back to Source One a
ea sorry share eya I will be that I will
be so what does it mean I will be I will
be with them in their pain in their
their predicament they're in now what I
will
be that means with them in the
subjugation by other kingdoms future
subjugations future Exiles God is
promising I will be with you now and I
will be with you in the future very key
he so Moses said to God remember I said
there's some part of the narrative that
seems to be missing because theom said
twice there must be a conversation going
on Moses said to God oh lord of the
universe why should I mention to them in
other trouble maybe this is part of the
answer at least according to Rashi why
eki has only said once to the Jews but
twice to Moses Moses is getting the the
inside information there's going to be
more Exiles but guess what Moses says
maybe I shouldn't reveal that to them
they're going through a really rough
time right right now listen to what
Rashi
says Moses says to God oh lord of the
universe why should I mention them in
other trouble they have enough problems
with this one God says to him underneath
the narrative you have spoken well so
rather this is what you shall say so
that's how we should read it Moses says
who should I said sent meya Aya and then
Moses underneath the narrative is saying
one second I understand you're with us
now and you're going to be with us in
the future exile
you think they really need to hear that
right now go and um God says back to
Moses you have spoken well rather this
is what you should say meaning only eya
once I'm just concerned just let them be
concerned about getting out of the
present Exile don't put on them this
additional future uh redemptions because
that means there's future Exiles right
there's future redemptions there's
future Exiles and you're right that's
not necessary to reveal to them right
right
now and Rashi also
says not that Moses God forbid
outsmarted God but he didn't understand
what God meant because originally when
God said I will be what I will be he did
tell this to Moses alone he did not mean
that he should tell to Israel this is
the meaning of yeah you have spoken well
that was my original intention God's
telling him I never meant for you to
tell them
eya but rather you should not tell them
such things to the children of Israel
just rather the only thing you need to
send say to the children of Israel is
eya sent you okay I'm glad that we read
that um Rashi I do think it's important
to read the Rashi on the verse we just
read also in in chapter 3:12 and number
four where it says for I will be with
you the Rashi says when it says for I
will be with you God answered his former
question first meaning the first
question and then the second question
last remember you said to you said to me
who am I that I should go to Pharaoh so
guess what this mission is not yours
Moses it's mine for I will be with you
and we're going to talk about this whole
idea when we go into Exile Hashem the so
to speak comes down with us and we're
going to see that
too this very Vision that you see that
you have seen in this Burning Bush is a
sign for you that it was I who sent you
and you will succeed in my mission that
I am able to save you just as you saw
the thorn brush performing my
mission and not being harmed which was
one of your
fears you will go on my mission and not
be harmed just as this bush is burning
and is not being consumed you will not
be harmed either now concerning what you
asked God speaking to Moses you ask what
Merit do the Israelites have that they
should get out of Egypt so I have a
great thing dependent on this Exodus for
at the end of three months they're going
to go to receive the Torah on this very
Mountain another explanation for I will
be with you namely that you will succeed
in your mission on which I am sending
you is the sign for you for another
promise which I promise you namely that
when you take them out of Egypt and you
serve God on this Mountain you will
receive the Torah on it and it is this
Merit that I'm going to stand up for
Israel okay let's go back into the clear
I think those rashis are fundamental the
last thing we left off was that Moses
had two fears Israel had only one the
fear of Moses was twofold am I Moses
going to get harmed and are we
eventually going to leave Egypt or not
and the only concern for the Jews was
whether or not they're going to get left
taken out of Egypt and we said that's
why God says twice to Moses like we saw
above in 32 where he says I will be with
you this actually includes all of the
Jewish people that's the answer I'm
going to be with you but it includes
everybody that you they will not be
harmed and they will be able to leave
Egypt
is but when it comes to speaking to the
Jewish people this is all you're
supposed to say to
them it was only the one phrase of I
will be with
you because for the Jewish people it was
unnecessary it was not necessary to
inform them
that that God would be with you in this
it's only you Moses that needed to know
that Moses needed to know both the
Jewish people only needed to know they
were leaving okay that's the first
paragraph there's a piece of a medish
I'd love to read with you I didn't give
anybody copies of it I'm not sure
exactly when it's the best time but
let's go through the next paragraph and
then for sure I think at that point I'll
read it there are some that say Shar
Shar that very statement aare
eya which means right God is I will be
that which I will be it's actually
giving a reason for the name it's the
reason for the name
eya because what does eya mean Hoya
means past the AL is
future it's really actually like saying
God's name you in a certain extent we'll
read in a second
why this is for the very reason that's
why my name is called I will
be miny because who am I I will be and I
am present at all
times what we call past present and
future in fact the name you hey and a
and a he is like all these
together God is all existence in fact I
really don't know that much about
science but from what I the little bit
that I've read is that when matter came
into being that's when time came into
being and that matches exactly with our
uh braet in other words the scientific
whatever they call the Big Bang Theory
or law or whatever it is proves that
when matter came into being that's when
time exist started so too that's what
the Torah actually does say so time and
matter are
intertwined onward now we understand why
it says third line down in the second
paragraph thus you shall say to the
Jewish people to Israelites that just
this one phrase eya sent
me
because it's not necessary to share all
those above reasons with the Jewish
people only that you're going to
leave now what else does it
say right not just the not just the god
of your forefathers look back at verse
13 right the god of your forefathers has
sent you to
me okay the that
is that's true but then go
to uh verse 15 When God Says in verse
number five when the sori God said
further to Moses so shall you say to the
children of Israel the god of your
forefathers the god of Abraham the god
of Isaac the god of Jacob has sent me to
you this is my name forever and this is
how should be mentioned in every
generation now you may think this means
the the eia should be said in every
generation that's not true but
elu the god of our forefathers the god
of Abraham the god of Isaac the god of
Jacob which we call AOS the Merit of our
forefathers and when it says this is my
name
forever which name is it talking about
number one and what does the word in
Hebrew here forever mean
I have it highlighted
say does it really
say if you notice it's the vowels are Le
but there's a v that's missing do you
notice that LE should be with a V and
it's an i in L in me which means mute
concealed not
pronounced so God says this is my name
that shall be
concealed for all generations that's how
I should that's how should be mentioned
mentioned could be mentioned as in uh
memory mentioned or even mentioned like
physically mentioned we're going have
let's look at Rashi on Exodus
3:15 he points out the word is spelled
without a v meaning it's concealed God's
name is
concealed
that it should not be read as it is
written that's why we do not pronounced
as some Christian sect they even call
themselves The J Witnesses or Y
Witnesses right however you want to
pronounce it first of all they're not
pronouncing it correctly but second of
all every time we come across the yud
and the he and the V and the he we use a
different name we use the name
a n so it's alif
um okay so just think about it like
this just's a side point the the the the
middle is done there's a God's name of
judgment which is right
Don you have the alif which by the way
is like a V with two Ys that's how an
alif is written which is the gacha 26
which is yud k k okay that's mercy and
the last Y is also representing of be in
Mercy so in other words din is
surrounded or sandwiched by Mercy but
it's all emanating from one God he has
different attributes and I think this is
a good head U segue into what I'm going
to read from the medra shortly but this
is the Rashi is explaining that we do
not
pronounce this is from gor this is in
other words this is what we knew already
at Mount Si yeah when we were 40 years
in the desert that his name is hidden we
don't pronounce it except in the Bas
mikdash at certain
times and the last part of that rash is
to conceal meaning the pronunciation of
the way God's name is written yud is to
be concealed and not pronounced that way
this is how I should be mentioned Rashi
continues that God taught Moses how it
was to be read and we see in Psalms
135:14 even King David said oh lord your
name is forever oh Lord the mention of
your name is for every
generation okay let's go back into the
Clear Car the Clear Car mentioned
ELO so what does that
mean that we're not it's not possible
that we're going to end up mentioning
actually God's name y or perhaps even
eya AA as it's pron supposed to be
pronounced except how does God want us
to think of him as El Abraham the god of
Abraham the god of Isaac the god of
yov because we're going to see AOS is
very important umos means that God is
keeping his promise to us even though
we're not the best of children and this
is by the way during the weeks of
shovavim and I suggest you watch Rabbi
Bri with his class just on the last uh
just a few days ago on
paros this is what it means like in
verse three chapter 3:1 15 this is my
name Le with the missing V
hu meaning what this is my name that
hidden and
concealed meaning it was only meant for
Moses and not for the Jewish people at
that time but only when it was necessary
to reveal which could be in our
generation this could be it but anyway
what should we know in every generation
Shaham the name of the god of our
forefathers such as
Abraham that should be flowing on our
lips when we pray this is a very common
expression that we use the god of
Abraham God of Isaac the god of yob sh
not using the but using this um this
other name such as the god of our
forefathers now before we begin the next
paragraph I have a sheet that you don't
have but it's based on the art scroll on
Kos and it's a comment on this concept
that it says the twice our verse is
composed of two statements by God each
introduce the Y we said it's in verse 14
no explanation is given as to why they
are presented as two distinct statements
Rashi explains that Moses put a question
to God after the first statement the
second statement is in response to that
question now Rashi also explains why God
refers to himself with the one word eya
I shall be and in the second part of the
verse although he has given his original
name EA sharea
twice in the first part Mo once Moses
made this point God explained to him
that he never intended that the longer
name which eludes to Future calamities
be revealed at this point to the
children of Israel
so is only told to Moses revealing
future redemptions but future calamities
uh Exiles and it wasn't necessary to
reveal to Jewish people at that time now
although he revealed it to Moses he
meant that only the shorter name was to
be revealed to the people at this
time okay so let's go through the next
paragraph and then I'm hopefully going
to get to the
med so the CLE says it seems to me to
explain the
following the actual name I will be is
Nar right Al
he is n are it's like comes from the
same root it's somehow rooted and the
expression is the same as the word Hava
Hava literally means existence meaning
past present future all
existence
um this reflects regarding his I would
say
eternality but everyone translates it as
immortality see immortality to me
usually used for an expression of human
beings we don't think of God as being
Immortal but whatever that means it
means
Eternal so that's what it
means we're explaining the same thing
really getting into our kishkas these
words that who is Hashem who is the
Blessed holy be one be he he was he is
and he will be and that's why it
says this is is my name forever meaning
what that I am forever but what does it
mean
forever God is saying from before the
world was created until after the world
is not created anymore I exist I exist
consistently there's no ups and downs
there's no change God does not change
okay that's what it
means this is my name for Generation to
generation when it says I am this is my
name you should be remembered in every
generation this is what it means that I
should be called the god of Abraham the
god of Isaac the god of Jacob in every
generation that's what you should have
constantly flowing on your lips that's
my name
to teach
what it's not alone that I am equal you
know equally existence from the aspect
who I am in every generation every
time but even in every
time Hashem but rather shall be
mentioned my name on those that fear
Hashem
they consider his
name and that's similar to what's
written in Mali that's the prophet
Malachi if you look at number eight says
then the God fearing men spoke to one
another and the Lord hearkened and heard
it and a book of remembrance was written
before him for those who fear the lord
and those who valued his name highly in
Hebrew zik
I think it's important to read this
Rashi as
well
um I retort when God spoke to the
God-fearing
people uh sorry then the God-fearing
people spoke sorry I retort upon your
words then when the wicked commit evil
and the good go about do in anxious
worry because of me then the God-fearing
men spoke to one another not to adopt
their evil ways as for me their words
are not forgotten to me for although I
do not hasten to visit retribution I
have hearkened and heard and I have
commanded that a book of remembrance be
written for them their words shall be
preserved for me we think about this on
Rashana we speak about being written in
a book of life who is written in the
Book of Life those who fear God those
who what who are who consider his name
and it's not just talking about Jews
non-jews also have an opportunity to
fear Hashem and have everlasting life
back into the
cleart the last thing we read like
this this is really the last part of
what we were saying who are those people
who are so holy that Hashem is going to
give grant them Eternal
Bliss these are like the sons the
children who are holding on to the
actions of their forefathers their holy
forefathers when we act like Abraham
Isaac and Jacob and I would say the same
thing for non-jews that if you accept
the Torah as the truth the word of God
and you want to live a moral life and
accept the seven laws and perhaps even
become much more Pious and take on
additional I'm going to call them kumas
but addition addal stringencies uh you
don't have to be as stringent as the
Jews in many cases but if you want to
try to make yourself pi means going
beyond the letter of the law that's
really what it means Aid and I know
plenty of righteous non-jews who do take
upon themselves certain things to take
we'll call it the spirit of the law or
going beyond the letter of the
law God is saying just like I treated
just like I performed for Abraham and
Isaac and
Jacob that I was called and by my name
I'll
call each one called calls me that
way so to every future
generation they'll remember they'll
mention my
name on all the remnants all the future
people that that survive who call by the
name of God and this is what it
means V at this point I would like to
read certain parts of this medish it
will take a lot of time and we have
still one more paragraph but I think
it's
fundamental this is in shos Raba and um
it's you don't have it it's um chapter
3 uh um part paragraph number
six so it mentions about this idea of
Theos God spoke to Moses
so I just want to mention why we had
this statement like what is God's name
how come God has many
names and yet he says this is my real
name right so Rabbi R ABA B said the
holy and blessed be said to Moses you
wish to know my great name but I don't
want to tell it to you what am I I am
called according to my Deeds so God is
unknowable his real true Essence is
unknowable we only know him through his
attributes and his deeds but if you say
this is who God is when he's acting a
certain way you're making a big mistake
because that's only a character of the
many character traits that he
encompasses in fact they are I would say
unlimited and if you limit it to even
just one obviously you're limiting God
you're attributing a limit to God but I
am called according to my deed
sometimes I'm called
kakai sometimes I'm called cot sometimes
I'm called Elohim and sometimes I'm
called Hashem and the medus explains
when I'm judging my Creations I'm called
Elohim when I'm raging war against the
wicked I'm
called when I suspend judgment for a
person's sins meaning I'm withholding
the punishment he deserves I'm called
shakai when I'm being merciful towards
my world I'm called
y okay now that name yud represents
nothing other than the attribute of
Mercy as we know from the 13 attributes
of
Mercy but then the last piece it says
this is what it means when it says I
will be th I shall be means it's telling
you I am according to my Deeds you call
me I am called according to my Deeds
one little Point here in the note NE
sites our mid is illustrating the point
that none of God's names even the yud
the Tet Gramatan are reflecting
reflective of his Essence which is
completely beyond our Ken I don't know
what Ken means but I imagine it means
our ability to understand imagination
you heard the word Ken
Ken beyond our Ken they are all
reflective only of how he relates to our
world or of his connection to the higher
spiritual worlds that form part of
creation besides that there's tons more
stuff but I'm going to get back into the
last
paragraph now the
clear now the clear is going to discuss
something that is
inesco what happened to my
sheets here it
is
so we're going to find this on page
three and it's number
nine when we were in Egypt you know what
we were we were Idol worshippers we were
evil we did certain things that merited
for us to be
redeemed okay we kept our language we
kept our names what does that have to do
with anything because the the Jewish
names as we saw ruen Shimon Ley all the
Jewish names of the tribes all reflected
hope in Redemption so if we kept our
names but didn't keep our language the
names wouldn't have meant the same thing
and if we kept the language but not the
names that means we would have given up
hope the fact that we kept both the
names are Redemptive and the language
translation of the name is Redemptive so
we wanted to be part
of this Mission this Godly Mission this
holy family and I think even now during
the war there are so many of our
brothers and sisters who may have felt
alienated or even assimilated to the
point they didn't feel part of the
Jewish people in a real way and I think
well Hashem has his ways but there is an
Awakening and we those who are connected
or feel connected or think they're
connect connected should reach out to
those who feel or think they're not
connected right because they want to be
connected and uh that's not going any
further but Rabbi Bri usually gives an
example of Rafi whose shirt's like wide
open down to his his belly button and
he's got a Jewish star or a Kai or even
a a some kind of gold muza hanging from
his neck and he thinks he's you know
connected but guess what he is connected
if he's willing to you know wear such a
thing especially in today's world where
there's so much anti-Semitism and he's
willing to stand up for the Jewish
people or for himself as a Jew it it
says a lot it says a whole lot okay so
we were reading
Jesco it's chapter 20 verse 8 they
rebelled against me and they would not
consent to hearken to me they did not
Cast Away every man the Despicable Idols
from Before Their Eyes neither did they
forsake the idols of Egypt and I said to
pour out my wrath over them to give my
anger full reain over them in the midst
the land of Egypt by the way
unfortunately many of the Jews four
fifths of the Jews did die in Egypt do
you know as I said we were not sadik in
Egypt who was the one fit that was
redeemed it was those who wanted to
leave that's it that's like almost like
a moral choice here those who wanted to
be part of the destiny of the Jewish
people those are the ones that were
redeemed look at Rashi on Ezekiel 20:8
but they rebelled against me they're
Wicked the majority of Israel who died
in the three days of darkness and the
children of Israel went out of Egypt
kimim could mean one out of 50 could
mean one out of five could be one out of
500 but one out of five 1 another idea
is they went up arm arm the word means
armed they went up armed but really we
went up with ourish we went up with the
willingness to accept the five books of
Moses that's shot according to the cakar
which is absolutely fascinating we
didn't yet receive the Torah but the
very fact that you're willing to that
says a lot about who you are and who
your children will be let's go into the
CLE card last
paragraph according to the prophecy
of from there you would
understand that when we were in Egypt we
were evil and we were
Sinners if that's the case what Merit
did we have I already spoke about the
four things I mentioned two of them
right so what are the four things so we
didn't change our names we didn't change
our language we didn't intermar and we
didn't speak lashan Hara those are the
four merits but otherwise we weren't
great sik we didn't have any Merit in
our
hands the only reason we were redeemed
then was on account of two things and I
want to tell you it's probably the same
today I know we're doing lots of Mitzvah
we're really trying hard but there are
many people that are
LAX okay we don't have a temple a lot of
us are not living in the land of Israel
we are in this room right but
nevertheless what kind of
what kind of Merit do we have so when we
were only redeemed because of two
merits same thing is true today on
account of his great
name whenever we go into Exile whenever
we experience pain Hashem himself as if
he also experienced this pain with us in
fact I tell my students we're praying oh
yeah we want Redemption we want messia
now but who do we really want we want
Hashem to be out of Exile we want him to
be redeemed so to speak I know it's a
very hard concept to get around but get
up in the middle of the night and pray
to get out of this deep dark Exile feel
the pain that Hashem is going through
himself and ask that he be redeemed that
he redeem himself so to
speak um where do we know this from it
says in
3:7 this is our paral as well and the
Lord said I have surely seen the
Affliction of my people who are in Egypt
and I've heard their cry because of
their slave drivers and what does it say
next for I know their pains in
Hebrew Hashem himself is saying I know
their pains why was Moses particularly
chosen many reasons but one of the
reasons he went out and he felt the
Pains of the people right how we should
also as well but especially feel that
Hashem himself is in Exile and that he
should be redeemed and don't worry we're
going along with him because we're D
we're connected with
hem similar it says in Joshua
7:9 remember Joshua Fought the wars and
I think this is very relevant to now and
every soldier that I meet who is
discharged for a few days on his aish of
however long it is it told me when I
tell him Hashem ismore Hashem is with
you he says and these are guys that are
not so religious you know what they say
to me I almost like crying they say I
know I feel it can you you hear that I
know and I feel it Joshua chapter 7:9
for the Canaanites and all the
inhabitants of the land shall hear and
shall encircle us and cut off our name
from the earth and what will you do for
your great name this is asking Hashem
this is asking Hashem For Your Great
Name right what AEM if we don't win this
war right what a Kish and how it's going
to be one that is for the whole world to
see how it's going to be one I mean when
you it's like mindboggling I talked
about this before but the Iron Dome it's
like Hashem is just swatting these
missiles out of the air we're ring on
the missiles the Dome or we're relying
on hasem that's going to be the key it's
already miraculous that somebody even
invented such a thing and that it worked
and that it continues to work it's an
absolute
Miracle okay so
um what's going to be with your great
name so it's not because of our merits
but it's because of God's promise PR M
and
Sh in the Merit of the
forefathers that's exactly why it says
as Mo God's response back to Moses kotar
this is what you're supposed to say to
the Jewish people of
Israel that I will be what I will be was
sent to you I sent to
you it was specifically this
name this name
which
is it actually teaches and reflects this
idea that God himself is with you in
your pain in your
Exile and further it says Kar th you
shall say it was
elem the god of your
forefathers it's the promise that he
made and the the the life that they
live
and it's these two merits or two reasons
that if you put them together that is
what it's going to remove us from the
pains and the troubles to the Redemption
and the relief and that is the song that
we sang at the beginning of this war and
we've been singing and saying and
praying every day
ah remember I won't torture anybody and
I won't torture you any further but we
all know this is a real prayer it's not
just an ncsy song right we sing at my
shabas table we should sing it more
often but um this is our real hope so
keep this in mind it's it's quite
humbling we say on Mondays and Thursdays
right it's not because we're sadik who
are we we say actually talking to every
day but uh it's not because we're so
great it's there a a lot of other
reasons why we are going to be redeemed
this is part of the the plan this is
because there are Jews that are really
merious nefes for the Jewish people as
well as in terms of Mitzvah and
Torah um and we should be um not just
proud in the sense that we are I mean
every non-jew should be proud I'm
talking about the ones who are righteous
noahides who have given up paganism and
have held on to the seven noahide laws
have held on to uh the corners as I'm
watching people make titas here like
holding on to the corners of the Titus
of a Jew and saying I heard God is with
you I heard God is with you uh uh Teach
Me Guide Me So I think it's up to Hashem
right we're doing our part bem Hashem
will certainly do his and the world will
wake up I don't know what's going on in
South Africa they're suing us on the
road Court listen we don't don't even
recognize the world court but you know
what it's an outlet for us to get across
the true message and hopefully I mean
there's so many Avenues right you have
uh social media you got the world Court
you know you got the Torah this is the
best this is the best you don't need to
look up the newspapers you don't need to
turn on the channels of the stations you
just need to look into the Torah and you
know what's going on you know what was
is and what will be this is the holy
name of God from the Beth
to the L of Isel every letter it's one
long name of God and I will be which I
will be meaning as it unfolds as God
unfolds his character traits and his
behaviors and his deeds that's how we
will know him and with that I wish
everyone a shabbat shalom and a great
life and together we will win I hope
that doesn't get us nicked from YouTube
but that's the truth only through akud
shom
sh all good stuff we'll see you next
