Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Behar Behukotai -Surrendering Control: The Path of Bitachon and Blessing 5.6.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

0:01
We have the Oprah shot once again it's Bahar Bahhokothai.
0:05
It has a begin is a very interesting aspect.
0:10
The beginning of Bashat Bihar by the bed Hashanah Moshe Bihar has
0:14
seen a little more Hashanah spoke to Moshe has been on Bahar
0:17
as Seenai saying the following following is the upcoming law of
0:23
Shmitah and that is if a person has a field in Israel every
0:27
seven years he has to leave it dormant and then many laws,
0:31
which hopefully we'll see some of them the law of Shimita.
0:33
This is told them by RSNR. They're going back.
0:37
They're going oh, so when you seemingly going back in RSNR
0:39
you're going out of order, which is normal fine, but it's very
0:42
strange says about she to tell me the location of this law.
0:46
Every law was told us by RSNI. Why specifically are we
0:50
emphasizing Shimita was told to you by RSNI and she has these
0:55
words ma and young Shimita it's RSNI.
0:59
What's connection special does the law of Shamita have to do
1:02
has you know that we pinpoint that we point out rather I seen
1:06
I was a sorcerer's law by law column.
1:09
That's what in them Ruby Sinai everything was said in Sinai.
1:13
She says the answer is the first answer was C Shamita has many
1:18
many details. I want you to realize even a law
1:22
with all those details. They were all told us by the
1:25
mountain. Why don't you realize that every
1:27
single small aspect there to that everything was told to us
1:31
by Harrison I How did we tell you that?
1:32
By telling you the laws of Shimita and saying the words it
1:35
was said behind tonight. So I understand Shimita with all
1:38
his details. It was embarrassed tonight.
1:40
It means every single law and every single detail the entire
1:43
today was survived tonight. It's representation of the
1:46
entire. That's why she it still seems a
1:49
little rough. So what relationship does
1:51
Shimita have special with Harrison I just to bring out the
1:54
point and every detail set by us tonight, the robber to ask this
1:58
question clear. Our car says we're about to see.
2:02
What should we talk about? Every seven years a person has
2:06
to leave the field dormant. Lie to him.
2:09
He counts 7 years and he counts another seven.
2:12
Do it again. And farmer you leave for the
2:14
dormant then another seven another 749 years and then by
2:20
year 50 it's considered the holy year.
2:24
We're not only do you leave you feel dormant again two years in
2:26
a row more than that any person who purchased the fields in
2:30
Israel. We learned to this morning
2:32
actually, and it it goes back to the original owner.
2:35
Any slave that excited decided to extend himself owned by me
2:39
goes back to his own ownership. Everything reverts in the year
2:43
50 all become kadosh. So says the Claca, 7774 times 7
2:51
* 49 and then the last days, day 50 and we have the period of
2:57
time every year. It's very similar to that time
3:00
that we're in right now, He says.
3:02
What's the connection of Shumita to Harasi Nai?
3:06
Well the way Shumita works is you count till 7 get a week or
3:10
seven years, 49 years then yeah, 50 is all the year during this
3:15
time period that we're in now toward Hardesty night.
3:19
If you count a week right you can't already count a Week 2
3:23
weeks 7 weeks 49 days day 50 is the holy day, says the clear car
3:31
that somewhat gives you more of a connection between the topics.
3:35
The same way there's a countdown or count up to the year of you
3:38
available to the process should be done.
3:40
There's also a countdown to my town tonight.
3:44
To Harrison. I connected to Shimita.
3:47
That's what he said. Sounds nice.
3:49
Beautiful idea. We still don't see really what
3:51
the connection is in deeper terms.
3:54
We'll get back to it soon. All right.
3:56
Fine. Now let's know what's the laws
3:57
of Shimita. It says the Passu In this way.
4:01
Kitav O al audits. When you come to the land of
4:04
Israel, I share any other tell like how much I give to you.
4:07
The Shabta audits. Let the land rest.
4:11
Shabbat, La Hashem, A Shabbat for God.
4:15
That's the year. Shamita, what do you do during
4:17
the year? Right here he goes.
4:20
Shesh shanim Tezazadehra, 6 years.
4:23
You work, you feel no problem, you plant it all.
4:26
You shesh shanim tezmo camera. Six years.
4:29
You plant your vineyard ogre and you gather your crop. 7th year
4:34
Shabbat Shabbaton. Yale audits the land as a
4:38
Shabbat. Again, we use the word Shabbat
4:40
Lashem SAT khalo tezar kamer khalo Tez more.
4:45
Do not plant your field or your vineyard.
4:48
Don't harvest, don't do anything.
4:51
The field is left open for all. Everyone could eat from it.
4:57
Anyone who wants to come by and eat from Hacia Shimita.
5:00
OK? And the basuk says you count
5:03
another seven years. Like we say 49 altogether you
5:06
have 50. You have your veil.
5:08
That's the process. Now, what is the idea behind
5:11
Shimita? Can we told you that there's a
5:14
connection to hire Sinai? The countdown to your veil is
5:17
someone to the countdown to Matanthra Baharasina connection
5:21
pro. What is the overall idea?
5:25
What is the mitzvah if you feel dormant?
5:29
Well, I shouldn't give us a difficult law.
5:31
Every seven years I have to leave my field on T.
5:33
What happens? It hit or punishes because you
5:36
could say that I'm bomb says it's healthy for the field.
5:40
But imagine the guy who's got a business at every seven years he
5:42
has to just shut it down. What happens?
5:45
Year 7 is gone. Year 8, you're starting up
5:49
again. You lose 2 years over 2 years.
5:53
How is this doable? What's the idea?
5:56
What's the idea? Closing the door.
6:00
OK, the idea is, says all of them.
6:04
If I all bring in different ways, we use the word Shabbat
6:06
Allah, Hashem and Shabbat Hashem.
6:08
It's a year we absorb the fact that Hashem is in control.
6:13
It's time to build up your muna. Here's the basil spells it out.
6:18
When you come into the land and now you're given, everyone's
6:21
given their own property. Every seven years you have to
6:24
recognize Shabbat by Hashem. It's a mitzvah of relying on
6:29
Hashem. OK, very good.
6:32
Let's give a little connection back to the to the ovale, to the
6:36
Omer, to shabwar time, and then we'll delve into this line.
6:39
I something fully. Why do you need to do shame it
6:41
out in order to happen? We'll have why do you have to go
6:44
through that process? I guess we'll show you in a
6:45
second. We'll play it out throughout the
6:47
brush, hopefully in one second for in a minute.
6:50
First, let's bring that back a little bit toe with this
6:54
countdown idea as follows. And I theme is a theme is and
7:01
you countdown to matanzo. When a person casts down to
7:05
matanzo what they are saying, what we're doing right now,
7:09
counting down, you're building up something major.
7:12
You're saying is my entire life is focused on matanzo.
7:18
All right. When a person through the
7:21
Shimita process shows that I don't own my field, every seven
7:25
years he announces that what he's saying in a sense is, is
7:29
that my material stuff, they don't mean that much to me.
7:33
I'm counting down toward the Kirusha Vashem.
7:37
Somewhat of a connection. OK, so why year 50?
7:40
What is this doing to each other?
7:42
Isn't this idea, says the clear car.
7:44
Every person lives an average of seven years.
7:47
That's the classic life of seven years.
7:49
That's the trial. Looks at it.
7:52
Seven years, He writes. The 1st 20 years of a person's
7:57
life are considered the years where the person did not get
8:01
punished for sin. 1st 20 years, no punishment.
8:05
Good at 20 years old and up a person because we call a bot or
8:09
machine punishable person. So he that's a fact.
8:14
So he says yes he says that the 1st 20 years take him out, which
8:18
means a person really has 50 good solid years.
8:22
Average person has 50 good years from 20 to 70.
8:26
And so that we live longer we all want to live longer from 20
8:29
to 7. Those are the 50 solid pretty
8:32
much average person's life good. So really play it out.
8:37
What we're doing or recognizing through our land process which
8:41
will play out is I was saying to ourselves, our material stuff.
8:45
They're not for us. We're not so busy with them and
8:47
let go every seven years counting till 49, counting till
8:52
year 50, which in a sense is counting toward a llama Bah for
8:56
each person. Follow me because 50 years is a
9:00
completion of 70 years, which is a completion of the average
9:02
person's structure of life, which means yoma kadosh.
9:06
The year of kadosh is a time that a person's allowed by, and
9:09
we're saying he's the same way. During this time period, we
9:13
countdown to the Torah. In other words, we say that the
9:16
only thing I focus on is that when you have a countdown,
9:18
you're saying it's all I care about.
9:20
So too, we're counting down toward that period person's life
9:24
when they have a lot about, how do they do so?
9:26
By separating for them material stuff by saying anything
9:29
themselves. My land is great but doesn't
9:31
mean so much to me. I could let go every seven
9:33
years. I could leave it up.
9:35
I'm OK fun that's they might not reach it might not, but this is
9:41
a structure and the message of so much every Jews to know This
9:44
is a structure like we have 50 days.
9:47
We have in a sense 50 years and the ultimate goal is do la ma
9:50
ban and we would the way to do so is by letting go of material
9:55
things in this world. As a side point, one of my
9:58
favorite themes are you can't have two focuses in life.
10:03
Some people love to say I'm a very luxurious guy.
10:06
I'm I indulge a lot. I love things.
10:09
I'm just a personal like things. I like this.
10:11
I like that other thing. That's great.
10:13
You can't say that at the same time say and I love to alarm
10:16
with anything else because there will be a conflict over time.
10:20
There will be a conflict. You're going to have to choose
10:21
one over the other and when is you can't have two loves in a
10:25
sense. So the person basically by
10:27
letting go of their feels, what they're saying is, is that they
10:30
love Hashem and Olamba and the keduja more.
10:36
That's a structured comparison. So just to recap from this first
10:39
half, Mayan Shimita la Hassenai, what is the connection to
10:43
Shimita and hardest unite the same way of a hardest unite.
10:46
There's a 49 day countdown that we're in right now told the
10:49
moment of the Torah. Shimita is part of a 49 year
10:54
countdown told the moment of Hashem and I we have that
10:58
countdown to Allama ABBA by giving up on our llamas ever
11:02
letting go. Fine, that's one theme.
11:05
Let's get to the Tiba theme of what I asked you before, which
11:09
is why is an overall mystage should be done in the 1st place.
11:13
So you said it's because the concept of Peter hum and Muna.
11:17
Let's understand that for a second and the hope and I shot
11:19
hopefully the flow play out for me.
11:22
What is that Muna other persons to have when they have a field?
11:26
What's that muna there? I am.
11:30
I have a field. I expect to bring in income,
11:33
produce, and now I'm told drop it.
11:37
Drop it for one year, 2 years really, because it takes a
11:40
second year to replenish. Drop your field and rely
11:43
completely on a sham. Let go of your control and rely
11:46
completely on a sham. That's the structure.
11:48
That's mitzvah. OK, so it's mitzvah and muna.
11:52
Now that is the theme. That's the overall goal of
11:56
nesting. Yano, this one's fat.
11:57
Let go. We'll see.
12:00
We have many moments worth in the Barsha.
12:02
And you'll find an interesting thing.
12:04
There's connection. We start with Shamita.
12:06
We go to your Vale. What is it Barsha say
12:09
afterwards? Second one, when you sell things
12:14
to your friend, don't charge out on Nuisa Tahib.
12:20
Don't overcharge, don't gouge your price.
12:25
What is that? It's a sin.
12:27
Don't overcharge. Is there any connection from
12:30
this sin? Told the law of Shimita law #2
12:35
and that's what our continues later on.
12:37
It says in the product shop when you lend money, don't charge
12:43
interest. Any connection between Shimita
12:48
overcharging and now I'm being told not to charge interest?
12:52
Taraq continues and says let me see the words.
13:08
When a person becomes asleep, a person sells himself asleep,
13:12
don't overwork him, let him go free.
13:15
He goes free eventually, can't sell himself as a lifetime
13:18
sleep. So we have 4 laws that we want
13:20
to analyze. Shimita can't overcharge, he
13:24
can't charge interest and a slave will not a slave forever.
13:27
Can some of us say for what is the connection of these four
13:31
laws? And there are more.
13:31
What's the connection these four?
13:33
Let's go down that beat that horn idea for a second person
13:37
has a field he's told to leave a dormant.
13:40
He has to have a lot to be the horn.
13:42
Give up on his field, let go of control, right?
13:46
But the truth is, even while he would work that field, he never
13:51
was in full control. Why is it the case 'cause even
13:55
if you have a field that you're allowed to work, you have no
13:57
idea if it's going to rain. You don't know.
14:01
So you don't know whether you don't know anything like so Tara
14:04
tells you let go of control, which is a very difficult thing
14:07
to do. But still in reality you never
14:10
win in full control. So it's difficult, but it's not
14:13
so impossible because all together you never win full
14:15
control. You already a person who is
14:17
summer reliant on Hashem just to have your business.
14:20
So now being told like we go on patrol is not as difficult.
14:24
Peter Horn level 1 and you go next step.
14:28
Toras says don't overcharge. Telling me not to overcharge is
14:33
more difficult. Why?
14:34
I have an item, I have an item, I have a watch.
14:37
I can sell it for $10,000. I can sell it for $20,000.
14:40
I have a gullible buyer. They don't know the difference
14:43
right. This is something that I am much
14:46
more in control of. Yeah, no, I should not be done
14:50
by GO either. This is something I'm much more
14:52
in control. Why?
14:53
I'm much more in control. I have the item I can procure
14:57
and money in return. I can get it.
14:58
I'm selling something that is in the return.
15:00
I feel like it's fair. I'm doing something.
15:02
He's accepting having complete control.
15:05
Hashem is saying, once again, don't do it.
15:08
It's not proper. Again, let go of your control at
15:12
the second level. Have a look.
15:14
I go to the third level, my money.
15:17
I want to lend my money and get interest, right?
15:20
I want to get interest. What's wrong?
15:22
I have my money. I deserve interest.
15:24
A person could think I'm giving you my time.
15:27
I can't use it to buy a house because you borrowed it.
15:30
Shouldn't I be able to charge interest?
15:33
What's wrong? I'm giving you my money.
15:35
You have my time. You're borrowing my time as you
15:39
have to charge interest. I'm in a position that I'm in
15:41
more control and more deserving. And one thing Hashem says don't
15:45
take that either, that's giving up even more control.
15:48
So you go with Shimita, you told let go even though you never
15:52
will, fully holding on because you need Hashem.
15:55
You go to overcharging what you told let go, even though you
15:58
were very strongly holding on because you had a way to bring
16:01
your money. Now you're told don't bring an
16:04
interest with your money, which is something you really felt
16:07
like you deserved. Here I am, I have this money, I
16:09
could use it for myself. I'm letting someone have time
16:11
with it. Shouldn't I be able to
16:13
overcharge that time? No.
16:15
Let go, let go, let go. And the 4th 1 is a slave.
16:19
Slave is told you're selling your body.
16:21
I own it. It's mine.
16:23
I'm working myself. I'm selling my body.
16:25
And Even so, I'm told you're not sold forever.
16:28
You cannot allow yourself to be sold forever.
16:30
Why? I'm in complete control of my
16:32
body that I was telling you. One level, second level, third
16:36
level, fourth level. A person has to realize you're
16:40
not in control of anything. You start with Chimita, you go
16:45
to overcharge and you go to interest and you go to your
16:47
body. You're not in control of
16:48
anything. And that would be the overall
16:51
theme of our private shop. So you that's that's the second
16:53
point. The first point is a comparison
16:55
to the countdown to the issue to a llama BA like the content of
17:01
my town Surah. And second point is this and
17:04
personalize it not in control. OK, what's what's the point of
17:07
the slave guy wants to make money, He needs to make money.
17:12
He's selling himself as a slave. Either that or he stole.
17:15
He's trying to make some money and we're telling him Even so
17:18
you can't sell yourself forever. So the theme is that the biggest
17:22
and more difficult thing when it comes to be talking is that when
17:25
something's in my hand, they're in my hand and I'm told, no, you
17:30
don't, you don't own it. You don't hold it.
17:33
It's not yours, it's mine I I fully feel like I'm in control
17:37
of something. Some of this Hashem says you're
17:39
not that's where real beat that one comes in and through these
17:43
laws. What's what I was telling you
17:45
you don't make your money you don't make your money from your
17:48
field That's clear You need the rain.
17:50
You don't make your money from your sales.
17:51
You don't make your money from your loans.
17:52
You don't make your money from your body.
17:54
Nothing is yours to make your money all from Hashem.
17:58
My and young Shimita Hashinas put the whole Pasha together.
18:01
The theme would be the same way by hardly Sinai.
18:05
Hashem made miracles and came down so to in our lives to the
18:10
law of Shimita and all the subsequent laws we just
18:12
mentioned. Hashem makes miracles for all of
18:15
us. That would be the thing.
18:17
Now you go to the next parasha. What is it talking about?
18:34
If you walk in my ways, red mitzvot and you keep my mitzvot
18:41
and you do them, If you do that, you'll be blessed.
18:46
I'll see the blessing in a second.
18:47
But what exactly does it mean? So Rashi says, well, no, Rashi,
18:55
you want a certain blessing. I'm Mel Batura doesn't say
19:00
learn, just toil. The way the rabbi's explained
19:03
that word toilet means put your whole everything into Torah.
19:08
Give your whole soft toe to Torah in Bogota ET Alejo, give
19:12
yourself to Torah. Then you'll be blessed in a
19:14
certain way. That's leading into the next
19:17
part of blessing. What blessings did Torah say?
19:20
What blessings the part shall say?
19:22
It says the following blessing. What's going to happen is by the
19:25
way, the clear car, the order Chaim is I think 40 something
19:29
per shot team in the world. Now what blessing is going to
19:33
happen? It doesn't say you can be
19:34
wealthy says this. I'm going to give you rain at
19:41
the right time and the land is going to grow the right crop and
19:49
the tree will give its fruits. They see each season we'll reach
19:55
each other perfectly. Seasons are on a cycle.
19:57
They'll be in a perfect cycle. About CSA Desada.
20:01
And you can eat your food and the food will be very filling.
20:04
And you're going to sit very constantly on the land.
20:07
And by the way, I'm going to give peace on the land, Ushraf
20:10
Tim. And you're going to live and
20:12
Mahadi without any fear. I'm going to make sure the
20:14
animals are not wild. No sword will pass through your
20:18
land. And you're going to chase your
20:20
enemies and it's going to fall in front of you, says the basuk.
20:24
And 500 of you, some of you are going to chase hundreds.
20:29
Hundreds are going to chase thousands.
20:31
And enemies will just fall in front of your face.
20:34
God says I'm going to turn to you or a multiply you.
20:37
You can become great and your fruits will age well.
20:42
Everything's going to go well. And I'm going to put my Shakina
20:46
amongst you. Beautiful.
20:48
But I have the but I have the but I have guys going to handle
20:52
the scene. Sammy, God's gonna handle the
20:54
scene. Coasting.
20:56
What's the theme? You look at the parrot.
20:58
He doesn't say to be wealthy. He doesn't say to make a lot of
21:02
sales. No mention of Walmart or Target,
21:04
neither, right? He says it's going to rain.
21:08
He says your food's going to be blessed.
21:11
You feel we'll do his job. The season will reach each
21:13
other. Because of that, inevitably.
21:17
But Hashem, the bazook spells are all out from a very distant
21:21
way, not in my hands. What's the theme of this
21:24
connecting that we just mentioned?
21:25
It seems like this. If a person does, we'll give you
21:30
exploration soon. He delves his full entity, his
21:33
full self into service of a shaman study of Tudah, into not
21:38
worrying. I'm doing my Tudah learning.
21:39
I'm doing my thing. God will take all the things
21:42
that are out of your control, and they are.
21:45
Rain is out of your control. Crop is out of your control.
21:48
How blessed the crop is out of your control.
21:50
Seasons are not in your control. Enemies out of your control, I
21:56
Adam, wild animals are not in control.
21:58
I'm going to take all those things that were never in your
22:01
control in the 1st place and make them work for you and the
22:05
connection of the two Parashat is is a man in parashat in the
22:09
heart was told let go. You don't control anything
22:13
anyway. Let go and follow Hashem's word
22:15
within those methods. You'll realize how you let go.
22:18
And then in Parashat Bukata, we're told if you do that and
22:22
therefore you put the entire mind and do not worry about
22:26
Lamaze and not focus on this world and not be busy with kavod
22:31
and pleasures. And of course you have to take
22:32
care of your family, but not kavod and pleasures and name
22:36
recognition and being video. You put your whole essence down
22:40
and God will give you blessing in all the areas that you don't
22:45
control. It's literally the opposite of
22:47
what people think. We try to control everything and
22:52
then we're frustrated constantly.
22:53
That's how we all are. I'll give you a classic example.
22:56
Monday night I had the luck ball in my party.
23:00
Raul Kasham was a beautiful party.
23:02
Honestly speaking, I'll tell you my full behind the scenes.
23:05
I had a hard time preparing properly for that party.
23:08
Why? In my mind and a lot that we
23:11
prepared. As you know, in my mind, I had a
23:13
hard time preparing. Why I have a hard time
23:16
preparing? When you prepare for the Friday
23:17
night dinner that was doable, Hanukkah pudding, these things
23:21
you prepare, Why would someone have a hard time preparing for
23:24
this party? Seriously, how rainy.
23:27
Weather. Answer was this.
23:29
It was an outdoor thing. If it rains, the entire thing is
23:34
a bust. Whatever amount of money you
23:36
spend pretty much goes out the window.
23:39
Whatever excitement you plan is gone.
23:41
If it's chilly, if it's raining, if it's uncomfortable, if it's
23:46
whatever, the entire thing is that it's not no climate
23:49
control, right? Like a sports fan.
23:51
I used to grow up always thinking about, I always think
23:53
about the fact how come my teams don't have dorms?
23:55
Like they still have rainouts. And he's a joke on my father.
23:58
He's like, he's like, if I say 20, whatever, 2020, they still
24:01
have rainouts, right, Kaka? So that was my mind today.
24:07
You can't, you can't control and therefore you can't get fully.
24:11
Why? Because it's a lack honestly.
24:13
It's a limited level of beat the horn and Hashem.
24:16
If person is full beat the horn, they would say I am in the same
24:20
level of control for an outdoor party that I am for one where I
24:25
have control of thermostat. It's the exact same thing.
24:28
Why? Because a million things can go
24:30
wrong in the body and a million things go right in out the body.
24:34
You know, you have to ask ask Hashem.
24:37
I won one little confidence in my little black capita horn area
24:41
1 little sense of confidence was that the fact is I'm not the
24:44
only one worried about like moment the entire borough park,
24:47
Williamsburg, Monroe, the whole world.
24:51
Their prayers are holding they're holding back the rain
24:54
right. Where does he see it exactly?
24:56
So we're good. But that was the mentality why?
24:58
Because we often think they're what what makes us come, what
25:03
makes you calm. Nice bill of health makes a
25:05
person calm, right? A solid next three years of a
25:09
good relationship with a buyer that thinks going to be good for
25:12
next few years makes you calm, right?
25:15
A president who's on our side makes you calm, right?
25:20
All these things make us calm children that are well behaved.
25:24
But the reality is we realize all we know is at the same level
25:29
of calm should exist with a president that's not our type.
25:34
Still be calm and chaos in the streets still calm and business
25:40
being volatile, you still calm. I'm not going to say for
25:44
everyone I don't know business well enough to know.
25:46
I know there are a lot of people that dealt with the tariffs last
25:48
year and right now we're going to be perfectly fine.
25:51
Some build people, you be even better than fine.
25:52
Some people have a hard time, that's for sure.
25:54
We're not close to business, but some people are going to be
25:57
fine. It's all the same, which means
26:00
we're not in control at all. That is the theme of these two
26:03
pressures. And the more a person takes his
26:06
mind off of that. What is the password pass?
26:09
I'll start with I'm going to give you a few picture team of
26:13
the she says it means yeah, you learn to that doesn't use the
26:19
word toil. What does it mean to toil on
26:21
toil? What's toil learn toil?
26:24
What's saying? What does that word mean?
26:26
Toil means you partake. You, you, you work.
26:29
Work. Yeah, working good, you're
26:32
working. But the word toil means that you
26:36
take your entire stuff and you put your whole stuff into it.
26:40
And even more than that, every person says Adam la Amalu lad,
26:46
every person was burnt, born into toil.
26:49
No matter who you are, you will be toiling in something.
26:52
You might be toiling in a hobby, you might be toiling in work,
26:55
might be toiling and learning. I'll be toiling with traffic.
26:58
You always meant to toil. That's the reality.
27:01
What the basuk is saying that if a person chooses to put his
27:08
effort, his toil, his hard work into the Torah, he will no
27:12
longer have to worry about anything else.
27:15
And if you put your toil in Torah, you'll no longer have to
27:17
toil in any other area. That's what does that mean?
27:20
How does a person do that? How do you put how do you take
27:23
your mind right? How do you take your mind now
27:25
during this class, let's say and say I'm taking my mind off work.
27:28
How you doing, how you think you might have to every class you go
27:30
to and take it off of work. How do you come home and check
27:34
out from everything's on your mind?
27:36
You know, you do so so the story goes full circle when someone
27:41
realizes that he's never in control.
27:43
First in the areas that it's clear to realize and the areas
27:47
that it's harder and then harder and harder and let's let's go
27:49
over control everything he leads into.
27:53
I am Amal Batra, which means I am putting my entire effort into
27:57
Hashem's ways. And when I do that, therefore I
28:02
actually have blessing in all those areas.
28:04
I don't control Hashem, who's the one who really pull in the
28:07
strings anyhow? He's going to pull the strings
28:10
and not just for the areas that I feel like I control, even the
28:13
ones that are coming from him. And the story goes full circle.
28:16
So instead of a person thinking I'm going to man what I can man,
28:20
and that'll give me calm and that'll make me settled to the
28:24
opposite, I man nothing. He man's everything.
28:29
I therefore have the clear enough mind to work this life
28:33
and do what I have to do on this earth.
28:35
And then it turns out he man's everything for me.
28:39
That's the process. Do you realize that most of us,
28:45
our main level of effort is exerted on our minds, which
28:51
means what takes up most of our energy and most of our effort?
28:58
What's on our mind, what might happen, what could happen, what
29:01
we're worried about, what we're thinking about, not the actual
29:04
things that we use in our hands on things that we're thinking
29:06
about. All that is what drives us
29:08
crazy, what gets us nervous. All these are our mind.
29:11
And you stop and you clear your mind with this type of process
29:14
of letting go of control and you become a person that's able to
29:17
put us on my loot into Hashem and he's blessed in these ways.
29:22
This is the process. What are the few ways to
29:26
explain? We said toil and toil or I'll
29:30
give you another one. He says means let me give you
29:34
another one over here. OK, Second way, very similar.
29:54
Besides with toil is a word for hard work.
29:57
Let me give you a different word, he says in a bazook.
30:03
Every day I wake up my feet, I try to go one place, and my feet
30:09
take me to your, and my feet take me to the.
30:12
Which means that I love Torah so much, I enjoy Torah so much, and
30:20
therefore I end up there every way, every time.
30:23
The second way of means that if a person makes Hashem's learning
30:29
and Hashem's Torah his pleasure, his enjoyment is fun.
30:34
I'll have all that blessing too. And that's also only doable if
30:37
you clear your mind. It's only doable to enjoy the
30:40
sweetness of Torah if you see it as if, if your mind is clear
30:45
enough to be able to walk that way, right?
30:47
If your mind is foggy, if you're stressed, you never have a
30:50
chance to feel like the vehement felt.
30:53
And my feet just take me to automatically at 2nd
30:56
explanation, Talek either means toil or it means enjoyment, and
31:00
they both refer to Torah. Third way is this.
31:04
As a Jew, you're not just learning or doing mitzvot,
31:08
you're doing something else as well.
31:10
What does Taleko mean? It means your ways in general.
31:15
All your ways should follow Hashem's way.
31:18
You're not just learning the book or keeping the book.
31:23
You're living the book says, I'm going to bless you.
31:27
If your entire life is dedicated to living the way I want you to
31:31
live, says God, then you'll get that blessing.
31:33
And again, the way we're explaining today, this is only
31:36
doable if a person let's go off control.
31:39
You see, if you don't let go of control somewhere in your life,
31:43
you're going to find an area that you're fighting.
31:45
You know you're not. Just as I'm once I'm frustrated,
31:49
I'm nervous. Maybe I'm not so honest and
31:51
business that I should be amid pulling some sketches.
31:53
Why are you pulling the sketches?
31:54
Because you have to let go of because you're so much in
31:57
control. When a person let's go, they're
32:00
able to toil in Torah, they able to enjoy Torah, and they're able
32:03
to leave by the Torah. These are the ways that a person
32:06
frees themselves up when they have Vita Horn.
32:10
You see, Vita Horn, trust in Hashem is not just something
32:15
that makes you connect to God better.
32:17
It changes the way you live. Because when a person lives with
32:21
fear and nervousness and worriedness, right, which we're
32:25
all inclined naturally to live, trust me, we're all naturally
32:28
inclined to live. I gave you the example of the
32:30
party. Now what happens is you can't
32:34
function. You can't have the effort into
32:37
that because you're so aware of everything else.
32:39
You can't put the enjoyment into the because you're so worried
32:42
about everything else. And you definitely can't live by
32:44
the Torah because you have so many areas of worries that pull
32:47
you to live different ways. And when a person has the sense
32:50
of bita horn, he's therefore able to live by the Torah.
32:55
In the beginning, beginning of Parshat Bahara, go back to the
32:57
beginning. I'll show you that I'm bond.
32:59
I'll close with this Parshat Bahar, which was started with
33:02
the words Mitzvah of Shimita by Rs Sinai.
33:08
We opened up with that question, what's the connection of the
33:11
mitzvah shmitah to have seen? I hope so.
33:14
We told you. OK.
33:16
They're both things that are related to 49 days or 49 years.
33:21
Fine, good. The both things that relate to
33:25
leading to our promised time, like we countdown 49 days to
33:29
Shabwat Matanzura or we countdown 49 years to the end of
33:33
a person's life. In a sense, the year 50 of year
33:35
70 got good. Listen to this.
33:39
Another direct connection. My teacher Rita and Harris Sinai
33:43
is this by Harris Sinai the Jewish people said what do we
33:47
say now? 7 Ishma, those words meant I'm
33:52
all in God. You want me to learn Torah or
33:55
Torah? You want me to love the Tura,
33:58
I'll love the Tura. You want me to live by the tura,
34:00
I'll live by. You want me to like live like
34:02
you. Like you I live.
34:04
I do everything you want. Every version of the Hoku Tai
34:07
Talechu I'll do when we said the word Now 7 Ishma, how is it
34:13
possible for a Jew to really follow and keep the words that
34:18
he said about heresy night? The answer is follow the train
34:23
of Shmita. If he fully gives control to
34:26
God, he clears up his mind, he's makes himself available to be
34:32
able to do the we just said. So the connection of all the
34:35
pressures is very clear. Part of shot, the hardest part
34:38
of shot, the hardest Sinai, the Jew at the hardest Sinai was a
34:42
Jew whose mind was not worried, was not fearful, was not
34:45
questioning, was not debating, was all in.
34:48
I love it, I want it, I'm going to live it.
34:50
I'm going to do it totally. How is that?
34:52
How is Seenai head possible through the mitzvah shumita,
34:55
because shumita leads to the idea of giving up control, which
34:59
led to more giving up control and more giving up control and
35:02
more and a totally a clear head that says God, you're in
35:06
control. And because of that I'm going to
35:08
do I'm going to live my life like you want me to.
35:11
And because of that, you'll actually take over control.
35:15
Our sham will bless us by taking over control and giving us rain
35:19
and giving us crop and giving us blessing in the crop and making
35:22
the seasons perfectly cyclical and making the animals calm down
35:26
and making the enemies calm down.
35:28
All the areas you can't control. Take right now the world, for
35:31
example, Israel by the Hashem is able to go country after country
35:35
and fight them all, but they can't stop the mind of the Arab
35:40
of the terrorists, no matter how much we try to squash the
35:43
cockroach, so to speak, You can't stop their mind.
35:46
And every day you find another uncover or another stash of
35:49
weapons and other this and you're like, how many millions
35:52
of these people are there? The answer is we can't get to
35:55
their mind that we can't do. That's in God's hands because
35:58
we're in control of everything but not that.
36:01
And then Jew has to recognize the fact that Hashem is in
36:03
control of that. And then more you give, you
36:07
clear up your mind and you give over that I'm going to serve you
36:10
because you're in control. Then Hashem will take control.
36:12
This is news on bond. Then a bounce is like this and
36:18
by rights, sick. Of Alliance.
36:21
Full reliance, so walking. Into a situation and saying I'm
36:25
going to do what I'm going to do and then I'm going to wave us
36:27
and I'm all walking into a situation and saying OK, Hashem
36:31
is in control. I'm going to do what I think
36:33
he's going to do that you know what I mean?
36:35
That's. Yes, and we're trying to say
36:37
with that reliance you therefore have the clarity of mind to live
36:41
in life. Well, it depends on your level
36:42
of visa home. Sure.
36:44
How does it prefer to sit down that?
36:46
You need to. Have I'll give an example.
36:49
How does it prefer you sit down. What you do, that's what the
36:52
horn you have, the more control and the more you take yourself
36:56
out of living God's life and the more beat the horn you have, the
37:00
less control you try to have and the more you put yourself in the
37:03
God's life. That is the essence any degree
37:07
that people have of giving over to Hashem.
37:09
When someone has a business question, an honesty question
37:13
and they decide I'm going to be honest, you know what you're
37:15
saying? I have control.
37:17
I have the means of bringing in thousands of dollars which is
37:19
coming to my hands and I let go. How you doing that because you
37:23
believe in God, What's the outcome?
37:25
He's going to bless me a different way.
37:26
That's your only belief. When someone sits down, lives
37:29
and learn, spends this whole day learning to what's your plan,
37:33
what's your plan? The answer is I believe in
37:36
Hashem. I'm letting him figure it out
37:37
for me and therefore I'm going to learn what's going to happen.
37:41
It's going to come in somehow, some way it's going to come in.
37:44
Got it. The the is a personal thing,
37:49
yes, but then the Geshem and all that is like a public good.
37:52
Very good question. So then Amban says great
37:55
question. Then Amban says, really, these
37:59
bit of hot of the rain and the crop and the seasons and the
38:04
enemies and the wild animals, all those things that are of our
38:07
control that Sherman's going to wire, those only go the full
38:11
manner of the Jewish people as a whole are doing good.
38:16
To give you a clear example, modern day we say, we say, I
38:19
told you, you can't control the minds of the enemies as you
38:22
will. Why?
38:24
Because we're not in a position yet that we have everyone doing
38:27
good. If we would since then I'm Bond
38:29
the world would change and it would be calm and one by one
38:34
these issues that are out of our hands will go away.
38:36
I'll read you his words if you do.
38:40
Yes, you have a degree. You have your own degree of
38:43
personal Any person who delves themselves into Hashem, you ask
38:49
them, they'll tell you they have miracles in their lives.
38:51
You all had in your own lives and that is this constitutional.
38:55
Our lives are nothing makes sense.
38:58
This community doesn't make sense, our children doesn't make
39:00
sense. Our blessing doesn't make sense,
39:02
don't make sense. Nothing makes any sense.
39:04
The world is going backward in every area and somehow we're
39:07
going forward. The only explanation is and
39:12
therefore we're blessed. That's the explanation.
39:15
Listen to Ramban. Here's the rule, keep beyond
39:19
yourself. When the Jewish people are
39:25
complete doing well as many, many of the majority no longer
39:31
will they have to rely on nature.
39:33
Love the Goofam, not with the house, love by the time, not
39:36
with the land, not in any area. No individual need to worry
39:41
about nature. Hashemo bless everything, bless
39:43
our water or bless our food. How we remove illness.
39:47
Actually to The Who little faith you'll no longer need doctors.
39:55
He he said there was a time, it was a time exactly where
40:01
alright, it was a time where profits and someone would get
40:05
sick and we go to the prophet. They would not go to the doctor.
40:09
It was a time where great men, great rabbis when they would get
40:12
sick, they would stop and mend their ways and they would get
40:14
better. Is that I'm bond talking.
40:16
This is not a sketch item. He's taking a sham structure.
40:19
The perfect world to really be wired that way.
40:22
It's not the way we think that we work.
40:24
We take care of our health, which we have to.
40:27
We take care of our safety, which we're supposed to, and
40:31
therefore we're safe and we're healthy and we make money.
40:34
No, really the way it's supposed to be is we do what he wants and
40:39
we have all these other areas handled for us.
40:42
It's only because the people of the world are not acting
40:45
properly enough and we need to get in control, but we need to
40:47
have the mindset that we're still not in control.
40:50
This is that I'm Bond there's al Prasha Hukutai TE Lecho.
40:54
You ought to live the life of God working for him, enjoying
40:58
his way, acting in every area of your life the way he wants you
41:02
to act. You can do that only will be
41:04
takon and the result will be Hashem will take over control
41:08
and bless you in every single way.
41:10
One last thing, we have a concept called fake it till you
41:15
make it, all right. In this area, a person has got
41:21
to fake it till they make it, which means we would love if we
41:24
could stop and say I could I, I wish that Monday after dinner by
41:28
Monday, I knew the weather reports I couldn't count at
41:30
least by last week Thursday, I could have stopped and said have
41:34
be the horn. The weather's going to be great.
41:36
I couldn't right? But there's a concept called
41:40
fake it to you maker, which means follow the whole life.
41:45
Put your effort into it all, even if you have worries.
41:48
Enjoy toda. Even while you have worries and
41:50
live and make sure that I keep everything Hashem says.
41:54
Live His way. Even if I have things on my
41:56
mind, even if I meet the horn is not perfect, so I'm working
41:58
backward. The best order would have been
42:00
be the horn. Live his life.
42:03
He takes over control, but I can't because I have too many
42:06
worries in my mind. I can't get.
42:08
The other way of doing it is work backward.
42:11
Live his life. Toyland is Toda enjoy is Toda
42:16
live the way he wants to live, which is if you have that test
42:18
of money, win that test, act according to his life and then
42:23
what will happen? What will happen is you'll
42:25
develop the beat the horn backward.
42:28
You can do this system forward or you can do it backward.
42:31
You could do it in the order that we said should we tell our
42:34
hours lead to the other misfalls, which are different
42:36
ways of revealing that Shemar's are controlling on me.
42:39
And then you live the life that he wants you to live and then
42:41
get blessed. Or you can do it backward in
42:45
Buko Taiteler, who can also mean if you walk in his way, which
42:50
means you just walk in his way, you have no real, you're not
42:53
really mentally in, you're not really ready yet to live the
42:56
life the way he wants you to live, but you force yourself.
42:59
Shalala Shma, it's hard for me to do.
43:02
I don't feel like doing it, but I'm going to do it anyhow.
43:04
That too will lead to blessing. We're going to come down a
43:07
second. That too will lead to blessing.
43:10
And that too will create the be the horn back.
43:13
So a person has a choice and these press should to do it in
43:16
order. You do it out of order.
43:18
You choose, but the outcome is the same and the outcome is
43:21
clear. You start with chamita because
43:23
you want to get back to the highest and level of the Jewish
43:26
people by having a sense of giving over.
43:29
And then you lead to the if you live his life.
43:33
And then the reality is he takes Hashem takes over control and
43:37
blesses us in specifically the areas that we don't feel we can
43:40
control. So we see how much Hashem is
43:43
behind all the scenes here. We'll start with this.
