Transcript
- 0:00Call Tish Pisin Irish Museum is this idea that every day during
- 0:07Sukkot someone visits Abraham, It's a canal called they all
- 0:13visit. There's a list of people.
- 0:15Yes, there's a list of people the way it's quoted again as
- 0:18often as are, but the idea is that they come, these seven
- 0:22people, they all come every day according to this, but each day
- 0:27there's a leader or the leader all day one is our home leader,
- 0:31all day 2 is just called the leader all day three is y'all
- 0:34called. I mean each one of them have a
- 0:35strength in a sense that the others are following every one
- 0:39of these special people that we consider our greats, our
- 0:44original leaders. They all have areas that makes
- 0:48them stronger than the other of Rahama.
- 0:49Suddenly talk doesn't have, I guess Hawkeye something that
- 0:52Rahm didn't have. That's really the sense what's
- 0:54happening when they visit me again.
- 0:56What is this idea that they visit?
- 0:58I'd like to compare with the 2 examples that we bring up. 1 is
- 1:01El ya'll wanna be especially ya'll wanna be visiting every me
- 1:05Lao. That's concept 2.
- 1:08When they tell us that the deceased grandparents, etcetera,
- 1:12visit the Hoopa. Those are two examples where
- 1:15they tell you this idea. What does it mean fully?
- 1:17I don't know, but it means some sort of concept of souls and
- 1:21it's a big idea. Now the message for us, we have
- 1:25practical form, It's to recognize that each one of them
- 1:28has a strength, a reality. Each one of them is strength
- 1:31that you can relate to the Sukkah.
- 1:33Abraham, it's talking about Corp.
- 1:35You can find a way to relate each one of them to the Sukkah.
- 1:38So we did his yesterday in the class, in the morning before
- 1:40Sukkit. Let's try to relate Yakov.
- 1:43We know because today's Yakov's day.
- 1:48Let's try to relate Yakov Reno to the Sukkah.
- 1:52What would relate you to Yakov and the Sukkah?
- 1:56So we gave you yesterday 3 Let's see if I can remember them #1 As
- 2:01a Aqua vino grew up near the worst influence of all time.
- 2:08He dealt his entire life with influence.
- 2:11Still going with this, he had either some or Lavan top two
- 2:17worst people about our nemesis in history.
- 2:20The top 2 strongest levels of influence out there because a
- 2:24saw was older brother, his twin who looked very similar to him,
- 2:28who could have easily finished very strong of importance.
- 2:31They lived in the same house. We said our arm lived in a
- 2:34different Our arm did not have really the influence of Ishmael.
- 2:37I'm sorry if anyone else because everyone moved away from
- 2:39everyone else. It's hard to not have the
- 2:41influence of the Ishmael because Ishmael was sent away.
- 2:44I called me who was raised side by side with a twin brother who
- 2:48was a terrible influence. 0 impact at all and #2 is Lavan.
- 2:54Avon was unbelievable crook, Ayakov was the straightest arrow
- 2:58that existed. 2 influences, 0 impact that was our core meaning
- 3:03that was like this always like love and they both reinforces.
- 3:07Another idea is how does it relate to the Zuka?
- 3:10So Zuka is a concept and you might be in flimsy worlds.
- 3:15You might be right next to people working side by side with
- 3:20people who are not your way, not your minds in it.
- 3:23Why not? Good for you.
- 3:25But we have to figure out a way to create imaginary walls to
- 3:28keep them outside. That is the idea of this to
- 3:31come. I'm taking my favorite example.
- 3:33I've used an informal example. If you live on this block, all
- 3:38right, like you live on this block or you live on my block,
- 3:41down the block. If I asked him what is the
- 3:45community of that block time was I live in the SY community.
- 3:49I live in the Syrian Jewish religious observer community.
- 3:54Yet if you have to ask what percentage of people on new
- 3:57blocks are Jewish, I don't know, maybe 40%, maybe 30 apartments
- 4:04before you have the of our building overrides, right?
- 4:07They have all sorts of nationalities across the street.
- 4:10We say in our minds we live among the religious Jewish
- 4:13Syrian community. How you translate that, that
- 4:17means that we, the same way we tried to drown out the noise,
- 4:23right now we're trying out, we're trying our minds to drown
- 4:27out the existence of the such neighbors.
- 4:30And our minds, they don't out there, but they're there.
- 4:33They're very much there, their prevalence, but we all need to
- 4:36try to say they're not there. And that is a mentality that is
- 4:41that I see what I see. I don't see what I want to see.
- 4:44I don't consider them my neighbors.
- 4:45Now, are they people? Of course.
- 4:47But they're not, you know, we're not trading deserts, We're not
- 4:50hanging out and stuff like that. And therefore, yeah, therefore,
- 4:54because of that, we have an imaginary World War that helps
- 4:59us avoid the influence. It doesn't mean they'll get
- 5:01along. It doesn't mean they cannot be
- 5:02the finest people. It doesn't mean all those things
- 5:05that we know they can mean. But it does mean that I don't
- 5:08adopt their way in any way. And that is a mentality called
- 5:12the flimsy wall of our sukkah. That's what it is.
- 5:16Akora Vino aced this concept to a teeth that was warned #2 the
- 5:23idea of a sukkah is an idea of the sukhina's presence in a
- 5:30world that is really a miracle. Which means if you go by nature,
- 5:36no person would have bet on the Jewish people.
- 5:39You know, I even right now what's going on, could obey.
- 5:42I'm not getting about in the politics, but that's clear.
- 5:45That's clear and God did not give us his president.
- 5:48This was this war would have gone on forever pretty clear
- 5:52because there's no real end inside.
- 5:54There's no way to have an end and Hashem decided to give us
- 5:57his present. Whatever his motive is Co Jewish
- 6:02Co son-in-law Co Nobel Peace Prize doesn't matter to me.
- 6:06What matters is the fact that shell out the hostages come home
- 6:10and the reality is that it's way too late, but it's only because
- 6:15of his existence and only because of God's existence and
- 6:17we have this. This is just typical example.
- 6:19We have stronger examples. Everyone of our lives are
- 6:22examples of Hashem's Astra haprat Yakovina was the vote one
- 6:27of all the about he was the one who had basically he had the
- 6:33strongest degree of Ashley Haprati of the great riggers.
- 6:38Abraham started off the construction of Hashem, started
- 6:42to God Abraham differently, and then he doubled down with his
- 6:45cock and then he tripled down with Yaakov.
- 6:49It's called twisting the rope three times.
- 6:52Yaakov Akov is my role. I said I'm twisting the rope
- 6:56three times with Aqua Aveeno Akov was the one.
- 7:01By the time it got to him, there was a strongest degree of Usher
- 7:04rubbing our teeth and we are living with that Hashaha.
- 7:08Which means that the way Hashah runs the world, the way he makes
- 7:12it work out for us, even though it doesn't make any sense, it is
- 7:15all over a miracle. And that is the arc over us.
- 7:19A God guided the world. According to Arvino.
- 7:22That's with the strongest level of and that's what's celebrating
- 7:28today. So today's Yaakov's day, you say
- 7:31we may be living in a world of a flimsy suka during reality.
- 7:35Somehow, someway, you should not rest inside.
- 7:38These are the two points, alright, and we gave a Third
- 7:41Point yesterday, but these are the 2.
- 7:42The other idea is you understand before I speak.
- 7:47They're fatal wedding my voice upon the other, I'm a hand.
- 7:53Both are simply worth a maiden. It's therefore I don't know.
- 7:58The other concept we are called, we said is that it's all to make
- 8:03this connection, but this car represents shuttle.
- 8:09How does the Sukar represent Shalom?
- 8:11In a few ways. Warned is that Aron, it was in
- 8:17his merit and we had the clouds in the desert.
- 8:20I know it's a man of Shalom. The Sukar represents Aron's
- 8:25dedication to Shalom that led to the that led to the clouds.
- 8:30A man like Aron in his merit we have the clouds, which means
- 8:34Shalom is really the real merit of the clouds.
- 8:38OK, that's how it works good. How is that really Aqua winner a
- 8:44go deeper one? Why is the clouds of Shalom
- 8:47support to know this? Plus Sook says call eyes up the
- 8:52entire Jewish period on the one roof, the entire protection with
- 8:58that under one protection, which Basuk meant to say, we say that
- 9:03they all live under 1 sukkah when they record going to the
- 9:06opinion that they had a sukkah. There was a time where they all
- 9:09were in the same shuka, 600,000 men, 3 million people, one suka.
- 9:15But that means the symbolism of that is all under one roof.
- 9:21Symbolism being if you're on the one roof, there's Shalom.
- 9:26Our own was the root of the clouds.
- 9:30The clouds are this concept of one roof, which is Shalom.
- 9:33So our own was the root because he was a man in Shalom.
- 9:35He remembered it. We had a place to represent the
- 9:39Shalom. That was the structure.
- 9:40Yeah. Aqua Alvino's life.
- 9:43It took an entire life to get to this point.
- 9:45But by the time he passed away, Akov was Shalom.
- 9:51He had Shalom in his home. It was a lifetime mission.
- 9:54It took a long time. She'll be fine.
- 9:56But all his sons got along eventually.
- 9:58Now his life with Shalom, that's the final thing and that relates
- 10:03to suka as well. They also all on the one roof
- 10:06eventually they all got along eventually and they all Shalima
- 10:11all complete and that's the Suka represents the car behind
- 10:15rights. A reversing.
- 10:18A reversing is good with the Suka.
- 10:26Have a great Zahut to have Shalom by it.
- 10:29As it he writes, if you go with the zucaria of Shalomite, can
- 10:32you explain? That's all he says.
- 10:34What do you mean good? That means you, you, you go in
- 10:37like I said, in the Allahabad, send the Allahabad before,
- 10:40right? You only have to have two hours
- 10:42of Zamzinar on the Zucar. OK, you know if you go follow
- 10:45the Allahabad to the T, you can end up 4-5 days out of the
- 10:48Zucar. Alright, you can end up today
- 10:50outside the Zucar fully. You can end up tomorrow at the
- 10:53Zucar for tomorrow night. You can end up Moses Shabbat
- 10:55day. You can end up Sunday outside
- 10:57the Zucar, even Monday. So really if you follow, if you
- 11:00tune to the T by the book with the laws of Hafatsuka, a person
- 11:07can avoid the tsuka. But they don't get this shaman
- 11:10bhai, they don't get this, they don't get this Hashimahabadati,
- 11:14they don't get all these all these merits that the tsuka
- 11:17brings. So the third thing they are
- 11:19Quavina represents is that he's a man who eventually his life
- 11:24led to Shalom. It took a lifetime, but by the
- 11:26time he was by his bedside, it's live that the Shalom, and that
- 11:30is the sukoot and that is the scar presents.
- 11:33The sukkah is the place of Shalom.
- 11:36The sukkah is the place. I just get your book.
- 11:39I'll close this last points ready.
- 11:42I want to close this last point. I probably will speak about this
- 11:45sometime over the course of Shabbat, but it's an important
- 11:48point. The Anani were called
- 11:50Ananiacabot, the clouds of glory.
- 11:54All right, It's so written down at the word cowboy has another
- 11:59meaning as well. They represent Shalom.
- 12:03We said that I think everyone was in war Wolf how they have
- 12:06Shalom cowboy Azelazit giving respect to each other.
- 12:10So on an air, the clouds of Shalom are the clouds of glory,
- 12:15Kavomis glory, but also means the kavod of each person
- 12:19respecting each other, because the ultimate core of Shalom
- 12:23comes from validation and respect.
- 12:25Stop it, Zacaboto.
