Transcript
- 0:00We have like this, this Patasha opens up interestingly and goes
- 0:06on to tell us many, many different topics.
- 0:09And you'll see hopefully throughout the process that
- 0:11there's a theme and there's a concept to release the entire
- 0:14Patasha as it is. Yeah, Baloteka means literally
- 0:19as you light, as you elevate as our goes by the way, I said more
- 0:23should learn more Tabe El Aaron. The opening topic short topic in
- 0:28the parasha is Moshe tell Aaron as you light the candles of the
- 0:36minera El MU Pena minera toe at the center of that minera, make
- 0:43sure that you light toe at the center, which you know that's
- 0:45how you like. So Arun is being told the
- 0:48concept of lighting the minera and the better then the basuk
- 0:52says after he was told they ask can I don't I don't did so and a
- 0:57move phenomena toe with the center he lit hey Lynn Hotel
- 1:00Cassius divides him with Moshe exactly like God can't mend the
- 1:04Moshe and then the basuk says it describes the Manila and that is
- 1:10how it looks 1 block of gold. It had all the parts and that's
- 1:15exactly how it wasn't me. Small.
- 1:18How many people Sukim 1/2, three or 44?
- 1:21Bisqueim is this little topic. What is this topic?
- 1:24But is it coming? And then the Basu goes on to
- 1:25different things. Where's this coming in?
- 1:28Says Rashi. This topic is coming in right on
- 1:32the heels of last week. Last week we ended with the
- 1:34topic of the Nassim. Nassim were leaders of tribes
- 1:39who were told to inaugurate them as Behr.
- 1:41How they inorigate them as Behr. Each one brought their own
- 1:44Qurban. They were all the same, but each
- 1:46one brought their own Kabam to represent their tribe. 12 Naseem
- 1:50with 12 tribes. The only one left out was the
- 1:54tribe of Levy was Aron and that tribe, he was left out of that
- 1:59job. Because the other one's that.
- 2:01Too 3 because you're safe. Had two, so there's 12 and the
- 2:03Aron was left out. Why was Aron left and why were
- 2:06they left out? They were left out because
- 2:07they're not regular leaders. Aron is bigger than that.
- 2:10He's more special than a regular tribe.
- 2:12He's an extra special leader, says Rashi.
- 2:14Alopasha opens up with a topic about Aron to fill in that
- 2:18missing gap, which means how she says these words.
- 2:21Very strange words Lama and this Maha para shatta manera le para
- 2:26shatta Naseem. Why are we being told about our
- 2:30own lighting the Minara in the mitmintosh in Mishkan, right
- 2:34after we were told about the Naseem bringing a Qurban to
- 2:36inaugurate the fee? Because Shekhashira Aaron, Aaron
- 2:42learnt and saw with the other leaders of other tribes we're
- 2:46involved in bringing Kurban. He felt bad Khalshah Azdato, he
- 2:52felt bad Shaloh Haya E Mahembahanuka 'cause he did not
- 2:55get an opportunity like them to establish The Who, not him,
- 3:01Velocevto, not his tribe told him by your life your job is
- 3:11greater than theirs because you get to light the menorah.
- 3:14And that's why we're being told about our own lighting the
- 3:16menorah into Beto Mishkhan. So again, our own felt bad
- 3:21because we learned about all the leaders of all the tribes in
- 3:23order and his tribe wasn't involved.
- 3:26He as a leader was not involved either.
- 3:28He felt bad. Hashem told him your job is
- 3:31greater than theirs. Don't feel bad because you got
- 3:34the opportunity to light the menorah into Beto Mitosh.
- 3:37So the question is, why do you feel bad?
- 3:40Wasn't like he was left out. Where was Ardon and his tribe
- 3:45not given the task to inaugurate from his behalf to being a
- 3:48cordovan? Because they were bigger than
- 3:50that. They weren't just leaders of
- 3:52tribes. Although then this seem were
- 3:54were not really part of the Bethenny dash.
- 3:57They were leaders of regular random tribes, Reuvenge, Shamon,
- 4:00Yuda, right? Regular tribes regularly Saleem
- 4:03Ardon. The reason that he did not get
- 4:05that opportunity was not as a knock.
- 4:07It was a positive. And that is you're bigger than
- 4:09that. You work in the bedroom like
- 4:10that. You're not part of regular
- 4:11tribe. The whole tribe of Levy work
- 4:13differently. So it's a very strange thing.
- 4:15He felt bad that he wasn't involved.
- 4:18Even though he wasn't left out, he was better than that.
- 4:21And I shall respond in an interesting way.
- 4:23So God says don't feel bad, but you felt bad because he was left
- 4:30out of a job. You're telling me, I imagine
- 4:32telling me I feel bad because I can't do it.
- 4:35A regular guy does you get an opportunity to do more than
- 4:37regular guy, whatever you are and I you feel bad because you
- 4:40don't get the opportunity to do it.
- 4:46But the way he says she's just he felt bad because he did not
- 4:51show a little high in my hand, but he was not.
- 4:53He doesn't want to be different. But then if that's the case,
- 4:57let's say, although I don't think that's a reason, if that's
- 4:59the case, then God responds by saying don't feel bad.
- 5:03Don't feel bad. I'm going to give you a job and
- 5:05the job that some gives him in a certain sense fits his mold.
- 5:08It's a job about the best of Mishkan.
- 5:10I know how long type job. So if he wanted humility, then
- 5:13God's response doesn't play anything about it seems like
- 5:17that we have over here an indication that I don't felt bad
- 5:21about something that didn't fully make total sense.
- 5:25Meaning he felt bad because he wasn't a part of something that
- 5:28he didn't fit being a part of because he's better than that.
- 5:31Some of these spots had to be in your role as a Cohen.
- 5:37You also will have an opportunity like theirs in your
- 5:40own way. They're inauging them is back by
- 5:43bringing corporate you can have your job always.
- 5:45I don't have your job lighting the menorah.
- 5:47How does that fit with the Quran?
- 5:48How does that make him feel better?
- 5:50So the theme is, is that lighting the menorah is really
- 5:55bringing down the shakina. Lighting the menorah is
- 5:58elevating the whole mishkan. It's a very serious, important
- 6:02job. So I was being told you have the
- 6:04opportunity to do actually something better than theirs.
- 6:07OK, So he felt better. He left out of theirs, even
- 6:10though it didn't fully make sense in that sense.
- 6:12It was reasons left out, not as a knock and God's response is
- 6:15you know what I'm going to give you a job that's also like them
- 6:18the bed. All right, here's the idea and
- 6:22I'm bound by the way it's but it wasn't just I'm telling him
- 6:25you'll do the mineral. They'll bring a Qurban.
- 6:27You're both the same. God was telling him, you know
- 6:29what, your job is better because the mineral is a symbol of
- 6:35everlasting salvation, meaning one day you're going to be
- 6:40involved in the lane, the mineral Hanukkah story.
- 6:43And that's what I mean when I say your job is better than
- 6:45theirs. You have an everlasting mission
- 6:47in your establishment of them as bear and they have a temporary
- 6:51one. They bring a korban.
- 6:52Now you're bringing something forever.
- 6:53So that's what I was being told. It's one thing fine.
- 6:58Basuk says I don't did right. She says the impressive thing
- 7:02about I don't is once he was old, this mission she lost
- 7:05Sheena. He didn't deviate at all from
- 7:09his mission. Everyone has the question.
- 7:11God tells you do something, you don't deviate.
- 7:14That's a big deal. He lived in Mendota.
- 7:16He didn't do anything different. But it shows.
- 7:20It shows. And almost so excited, so
- 7:23wanting to do them, it's file. And then so excited when he was
- 7:25given an opportunity to do something like in the scene that
- 7:28one might have thought that with his emotion and his love, he
- 7:30might have overdone it, then no, he did what he was thought to
- 7:33do. Exactly.
- 7:34Not overdoing Shiloh Shina. OK, that's fine.
- 7:37That's the opening of opera, and the pesha moves on to a separate
- 7:41topic, another kind of random topic.
- 7:45Hashem says I'm about to fully establish the Leviim, to be the
- 7:52servants in the Mishkan, to sing, to serve.
- 7:55All right, Sam, I'm about to establish.
- 7:58Before I establish is a process. Hashem says these words by the
- 8:03Berishel Moshe Lemoore, Partur de Parisha Carquetta Levim,
- 8:07bringing the Levim in, or she says convince them.
- 8:10We talked when he said bring them separate from the rest of
- 8:13the Jewish people. Give them a special job and you
- 8:15have to purify them. What they're going to do is
- 8:17they're going to shave the whole body, Levine, shave the whole
- 8:19body. Then they're going to bring a
- 8:21Cordoban. Then you're going to bring the
- 8:24Levine. The whole Jewish people are
- 8:27going to put their arms on the Levine as if they're out with
- 8:30sacrifice. This is the process.
- 8:33You're going to take the Levine and you're going to serve the
- 8:35Levine themselves in front of God.
- 8:37How so? Korbanot had a concept.
- 8:42You pick them up and you wave them.
- 8:44Haron picked up the physical Levine and waved them in four
- 8:50directions to Hashem to give the Levine over to God.
- 8:54And the pasuk Hashem says these people neetoneim, neetoneim
- 8:58hema, they're given the totally given over to Hashem, the sarva
- 9:01Hashem. You've heard this concept
- 9:04before, that the Levine were waved.
- 9:05You heard this, the actual person, physical person was
- 9:08picked up like I don't lift them up mirror miraculously, you wave
- 9:19them like a waving. And with this, you're going to
- 9:23separate the Levine from among the Jewish people.
- 9:26They're going to come in to serve God in a purified way, in
- 9:30an elevated way. They're special.
- 9:32Hashem says, I'll tell you where the Levine came from, where they
- 9:34get this job from. Well, they're going to serve in
- 9:36the Mishkan. What's the background?
- 9:38Who chose them? God says originally the
- 9:42bechorot, the first ones of every family they were supposed
- 9:45to serve, but I chose the Levim in their stead.
- 9:50We know what happened to bechorot, sinned, involved in
- 9:52the whatever was. So God chose the Levim instead
- 9:56of the bechorot, and they're going to be the ones to serve
- 9:58Hashem. They're going to give it over to
- 10:00God. They're going to be purified.
- 10:01They're going to be given over. That's a very interesting
- 10:04process. You take the person you have the
- 10:09whole Jewish people put their hands on this Levine as if
- 10:12they're our sacrifice because you put hands on sacrifice.
- 10:15You then wave the levy himself literally around and you say
- 10:19designated to serve a Miev the Jewish people is the process a
- 10:24random concept and it's how it was.
- 10:25This is how they set up. But soon as it was done.
- 10:28What is this coming? You have our own what the
- 10:31menorah and you have this so you have here in this scenario.
- 10:35See more of it. A second example of a person
- 10:40giving of himself over to the service of Hashem to the fullest
- 10:44extent. First was Ardon's wishing and he
- 10:47can do more and God creating for him a new Ave.
- 10:51The second one is the Levine serving God, not just like a
- 10:53person being a person over here serving Hashem literally being
- 10:57the TuneIn, the TuneIn Mahima being given over to serve
- 11:00Hashem, being wave like a Qurban to serve Hashem.
- 11:03A second example of someone stepping forward for the sake of
- 11:06service might have the 3rd. 3rd is so third prep.
- 11:13Pardon the Pahasha. Also seemingly completely
- 11:17unrelated. I don't delivering two different
- 11:19things. And now this Hashem says, Pasu
- 11:24says that you have a constant of korban Pesa, while there are
- 11:31people who might have been Tamir by the 1st Kaban Pesak, they
- 11:35were impure. Do you know why these people
- 11:37were impure carrying yourself? They were carrying the coins
- 11:40they want to paint and they came out, they were carrying the
- 11:41bones of yourself. They were absorbed in the Kaban
- 11:43Pesak because they were doing a mitzvah.
- 11:46Well, these people on the second month, right Pasuks is Vaiana
- 11:51Shimasha, you Tim. And if it Saddam, there were
- 11:54people who were impure by the 1st Kaban Pesak and they were
- 11:57unable to do it, and they came in front of Masheda Bear and
- 11:59they said these words, la ma nigara, Why were we left out?
- 12:03Why should we be left out any worse than anyone else to be
- 12:07unable to serve Hashem on the high like everybody else?
- 12:10One second, gentlemen, you weren't left out.
- 12:13You had the opportunity to do a great mitzvah and because of
- 12:16that you couldn't serve guma besa.
- 12:19You were doing something special like bringing yourselves bones.
- 12:22You were absorbed, you weren't left out.
- 12:24What's it the word la ma nigara? The answer is you have a third
- 12:28example of here, of people who were completely off the hook.
- 12:33They did not need to bring the Copan Pesach, and they were
- 12:36completely, totally absorbed. It wasn't their fault.
- 12:39They got a total pass. They were free.
- 12:42Yeah. These people said these words,
- 12:43llama, Nicaragua, which meant we're not happy with this.
- 12:47We don't want show cuts. We don't want to be out.
- 12:49We wish we could have opportunity.
- 12:50And then what does the pasuk say?
- 12:53What should have been or heard this complaint said to these
- 12:56people? I have to ask Hashem what to do.
- 12:58I don't have an answer for you. You told them I'm do.
- 13:03Let's stand and let's see what Hashem Hashem says.
- 13:07You know what? They're right.
- 13:09A new idea. The new idea is new ideas.
- 13:13There's something called pesar sheni.
- 13:15We're going to make up a new date, a random date a month
- 13:19later for these people. They're brink of pesar.
- 13:21Is it pesar? No, it's not that hard when you
- 13:24give them the opportunity to brink of pesar because they
- 13:27shouldn't be left out. Makeup.
- 13:29It's totally a makeup and it's considered, according to Rashi,
- 13:32it's considered the parashah of these people.
- 13:36It's their credit. Mushena Binow didn't bring it
- 13:39up. He only brought it up because
- 13:40they asked what is this topic? This is the topic take. 30 days
- 13:46to get pure. No, why was it the IT is in the
- 13:49same exact date the next month. I don't know why.
- 13:51Good question, fair question. What is this topic?
- 13:54This is another scenario where people we're not really told to
- 13:59serve. They were completely off talk
- 14:02and they felt bad we lost out an opportunity to serve.
- 14:07Literally they felt like that. We mean you save money, you save
- 14:09everything, you got an excuse, no excuses.
- 14:11The opposite we want to do. We want to expand the Torah, so
- 14:15to speak. We want to have an opportunity
- 14:16to serve very similar to our own and very similar sense of living
- 14:20where people are being completely given over to the
- 14:22service of Hashem. These are three random topics
- 14:28and the pasuk says Hashem tells these people there's something
- 14:31called pasacheni. A month later on the same date
- 14:34you're being a kurban. Any person who's time gets this
- 14:38opportunity right then the Paschal says or again a fourth
- 14:45topic. So what you have to resent?
- 14:47What's the 4th 1 pasuk says that you can travel in the mid bar
- 14:53with the mishkan. You're going to stop when the
- 14:58cloud, When the cloud covers a Mishkan, that means you stay
- 15:03there. When the cloud gets up to move,
- 15:06what do you do? Follow.
- 15:09You travel. That means dismantle the
- 15:11Mishkan, take it apart, carry it on wagons, carry things on your
- 15:15shoulders and start to travel. Start and stop and start and
- 15:18stop. Sometimes in the same day,
- 15:20sometimes over a month, sometimes over a year.
- 15:22All right. And pursue disease words Al piya
- 15:26shamia hanu Val piya shamisau, meaning travel.
- 15:33Wherever Hashem tells you at camp, you're in camp.
- 15:35Wherever he tells you, you travel, you travel.
- 15:37This is the fourth piya shamiya Sao piya shamiya hanu.
- 15:41Call your man. All these days that there was a
- 15:44cloud. They followed Hashem 100% and
- 15:47the fourth piece of al basha. And this is again a major
- 15:52complicated, a compliment on yourself.
- 15:55Imagine living in the desert. You're travelling and you
- 15:58finally get a good spot to camp. You settle down.
- 16:02You build the Mishkan again. Every time that the rebuild the
- 16:04Mishkan, you build it up. You sit down.
- 16:06OK, your family settles down. Calm down.
- 16:08Pamphlet in Chinese. And then what happens?
- 16:11Exactly what happens then? Announcement.
- 16:15No announcement. See the cloud?
- 16:16Oh gosh, got to move. Get up and go.
- 16:18I'm still follow 100%. Yeah, but it was really
- 16:23seriously, it was the way it was constructed and the way it's
- 16:26deconstructed is specifically going to great detail, very big
- 16:30detail. They had to encamp the attempts,
- 16:32the attempts and everything. It was the whole thing.
- 16:34And they did whatever Hashem say, 30 days, one day a year,
- 16:38didn't matter. God says to go, you go.
- 16:42So you have over here in this fourth example of Alpha shot, a
- 16:45scenario where you witness the dedication of Amisel, maybe not
- 16:49dedication for him itself. And this one is a dedication to
- 16:53follow Hashem. So overall, you have 4 hard on
- 16:57asking, wishing for the opportunity to do more.
- 17:00God gave him something living, being fully given over
- 17:03physically to serve Hashem, the people of Pesach Shani asking
- 17:08for an opportunity that didn't have to create a new law and I'm
- 17:12yourself as a whole, all of us following 1000% I'll be a shame,
- 17:18I'll be a shame. Whatever God says we do 1000%
- 17:20These are the four steps to help a shot.
- 17:24Why is this significant? You could do it and.
- 17:29Today we don't know, come on Pesach.
- 17:30I mean if we have an abetamic dash.
- 17:31If the person had a good excuse like this, they would bring
- 17:34Pesachani 100%. What do you mean like?
- 17:35This that body just. No, it has to be that he had an
- 17:38excuse, like he was coming for a reason and stuff like that.
- 17:42All right, so you have these now.
- 17:44What are these four by the way, these 4 topics now by the shop,
- 17:49they did not happen in order, they didn't happen In Sync.
- 17:53They were random, drawn random from different parts of the
- 17:55total and they were all placed here one after the other.
- 17:58Why are they here? Translate.
- 18:00The car we have all the way till a month later No no in a month
- 18:04car one of them we have until the you can start.
- 18:09From a month before the month before we all pass.
- 18:13What it was man, like, I don't think.
- 18:21So you could. You could do it after holiday.
- 18:24Don't. What could you do after the
- 18:26holiday? We have because the Corbyn not
- 18:31can you brought after the holiday.
- 18:35That's that everything. That's what I know.
- 18:38So fine, these are the four. And then Hashem says about the,
- 18:41the, the, the trumpets, fine. And then we have we're about to
- 18:47hit a very negative spot and there is a halfway through the
- 18:51passion, maybe a little more than halfway through, the better
- 18:54shot starts to talk about the complaining.
- 18:57Negativity is the complaining about the food and the dish and
- 19:00everything else, the birds. The birds.
- 19:03And all these different things. And you get to the months, all
- 19:05gets started now, and then you leave the nagaline next week and
- 19:07it all goes downhill from here. So what is this parasha, these
- 19:11four items we told you about? And then we'll have something in
- 19:14the middle. And then complaining.
- 19:16I'll tell you one last thing in the one last thing before we get
- 19:18to the complaining pretty much. And you'll see everything.
- 19:21And that's what Torah says also in the middle of nowhere.
- 19:25It says that Moshella been turned to a man whose name was
- 19:29Hovav. He told Khwab, please don't
- 19:33leave us, please don't leave us because you are our Ivy on Moshe
- 19:39le Khwab Ben Druill Khwab. By the way, was he throw?
- 19:44He told you throw. My beloved the love, the one who
- 19:46beloved, the one who loves Hashem, loves Khwab.
- 19:49Moshe told him, We're travelling now.
- 19:52We're about to go into Israel because we're this close.
- 19:56Please stay with us. Well, if you stay with us, it's
- 19:59going to be good for us. Hope you could feel it'll be
- 20:02good for us. Michelle says we need you to
- 20:05stay with us and by need to us as no Michelle says yo man, I'll
- 20:13not as oh Cortana, please don't leave us debate if he left or
- 20:16not. Please don't leave us because
- 20:18Kiara Kenya that we know since we've been in about we know and
- 20:23when you're with us, you're our eyes and we're going to have
- 20:26good. When you come with us, we have
- 20:27good. Please don't go.
- 20:29What does he mean that you throw brings good.
- 20:33And what does it mean that we use the name now you throw.
- 20:36We use the name Hovav Hov. Mommy loves Hashem loves.
- 20:40And why is this being brought over here as a random spot?
- 20:44Did you throw stay there, not stay as debatable.
- 20:46It seems like you didn't sell the the bonds that you did
- 20:48because you thought I said I got to go, got to go back to my
- 20:51land. I got to go.
- 20:52What is this? It's Raw calling him Khovar,
- 20:55asking him to stay, telling him you're going to be our eyes or
- 20:58it's going to be our eyes. He's smart.
- 21:00Is that why? And you're going to when, if
- 21:02you're here, it's going to be good.
- 21:03What happens if you leave? I say I'm not going to be good.
- 21:05What's going on? So I believe this reflects back
- 21:09on the four items in the beginning of the Prasha and
- 21:12opens up the door to all the negativity that we have to face
- 21:17in a minute. And that is it's Raw's main
- 21:20quality was positive ice. His main quality was he loved
- 21:28Hashem and loved in his foot and wanted it.
- 21:31That was his quality. Everything you saw was to the
- 21:33good Moshe tells you to do. We need you to stay.
- 21:38We need you optimism. We're about to go into the
- 21:40individual. We need this to stick.
- 21:41You've been with us in the bar. It helped us because you see
- 21:44everything as good and the mood of Omnia Cell is good.
- 21:47Look, I don't want it more. The Livima dedicated, fully
- 21:50given overlook. The people wanted to go bomb
- 21:53Pesacheni. They wanted to do more.
- 21:55Look, following Hashem, no questions, no complaints, no
- 22:00complaints of difficulty. Zero.
- 22:02It was very big, very difficult. 0 negativity at all.
- 22:05You know why? Because we have positive eyes.
- 22:07You're our positive eyes. We need you to stick with us.
- 22:11And he told us, no, I have to go.
- 22:12My sister, please stay with us because you bring good.
- 22:15And this is reflecting the four steps of Al Prashad opening up
- 22:21for an understanding of what's about to happen next.
- 22:24What happens next? The pasuk says obviously, oh,
- 22:28right after Musharraf's request by Yasumi Hashem, we travelled
- 22:33from Harasini. We shower from Harasini, where
- 22:36she says this is the beginning of the negativity.
- 22:39What it's like Moshe knew there's a built in mentality of
- 22:45people to be negative and if people have negative eyes, it'll
- 22:49change the entire mood and the entire approach.
- 22:52What do you see? Negativity because they travel,
- 22:54right Rashi, they assume it Hashem, they travelled from the
- 22:57heart. Rashi writes that I'm ISIL ran
- 23:04from heart to C9 Kitty nook how Borea me better safe and like
- 23:10the kid running out of school What does it mean the kid runs
- 23:13out of school You know the kids already counting down now two
- 23:15more weeks and we'll be free. You know the song right they
- 23:18counting down that is kids running out of school a pasuka
- 23:22saying I'm going to sell rang from I see now like children
- 23:25running out of school never mind The Mirage it's why they run.
- 23:29What are they so nervous about? They were afraid that we're
- 23:33going to be given more mitzvot. That's not anymore.
- 23:39They already settled from that. They were afraid we're going to
- 23:42be given more mitzvot. What does that mean?
- 23:45That's a complete turn around from the mindset.
- 23:48That's the opposite of Hovat. Hey, dude, that's the that's the
- 23:51opposite of Hovat. That's the opposite of the
- 23:56entire mindset, which means the climb of the Jewish people was
- 23:59the climb of positivity and the perspective of I want more.
- 24:02I want more, I'm more and the downward spiral was a
- 24:05perspective of I want to run away from this.
- 24:08I'm not going to become high Shalom, you know, not follow my
- 24:11observance, but please Hashem don't give me more.
- 24:13And that opens up the door with everything that went wrong.
- 24:17Basuk then says there's a little break.
- 24:19The basuk says that he committed on him.
- 24:23The people began to complain. Rabbi was not Hashem and this is
- 24:27negative in the eyes of Hashem. Hashem heard this, Hashem got
- 24:32angry and sham saw it to wipe people out with a fire, with a
- 24:36plague and mushair are being cries at the sham and the fire
- 24:39stops and was right. And then the basuk says next
- 24:44thing. And the people among our myths
- 24:46hate that a desire to have desires that a desire to have a
- 24:56desire like someone who goes to a restaurant and they see all
- 24:59some meat and they have no appetite.
- 25:01All they wish I wish I had appetite that a desire to have
- 25:04desires to do the wrong thing. It's a complete and total
- 25:07opposite. Up until this point, we had a
- 25:09positive perspective we want the more we had a desire for more
- 25:13here there was running away. I don't want moments what they
- 25:17were saying and then a desire to have desires of negativity.
- 25:20But what changes? These are all leaving or what
- 25:22change? What change is that the
- 25:24perspective, the natural perspective of a human being is
- 25:27as happy as we are a person is, they don't want the burden.
- 25:32Maybe I don't know what changed? Well, change is that change in
- 25:35the mindset of the Jewish people.
- 25:36And that's what spiraled everything downhill and what it
- 25:39tells all of us Jewish people. Everyone.
- 25:42Everyone or anybody that I'm sure there were.
- 25:44Many people that were still positive for sure.
- 25:46According to many opinions, this is only some negative people.
- 25:49Wasn't the arm, he said. You're right, it might have been
- 25:50only been the arm which is 8 above.
- 25:53Very, possibly, very possible, but it was a dominant feature.
- 25:57You're right, it could very open air it up, but it's dominant
- 25:59feature. But it explains, but they could
- 26:01take people down, right? Right.
- 26:03Became the mood and it explains the complete shift in
- 26:07perspective. We always wonder what's with the
- 26:08complaining? Of course, we can't judge these
- 26:10people complaining, complaining, complaining, right?
- 26:13Then what happens? They say these words, they cry
- 26:16to Hashem and they say, Mia, who's going to give us meat?
- 26:20What do they say next? Ready.
- 26:22Zahar nu ETA daga. We remember the fish.
- 26:26Then we had them. The same free fish.
- 26:29The cucumbers, the add the the watermelons.
- 26:31You remember the onions. You remember everything.
- 26:33And now? Exactly.
- 26:35And now our hearts, our souls are dry.
- 26:41We don't have anything. All we have is the man.
- 26:43Do you realize what that statement is?
- 26:46All we have is the I can't Haj. All I have is gold.
- 26:51It's crazy. All I have is gold.
- 26:52It's a block, some gold. It's like they're blocking out
- 26:54my garage. It's too much, right?
- 26:56That's what it sounds like. All we have is the man.
- 27:00So let's play out a little logic to it to explain it.
- 27:02Again, it's based on his perspective.
- 27:04But the logic is the food that they had in Egypt, slavery food.
- 27:08But at that time, the one advantage of the food in Egypt
- 27:13was they can see it. It fits the appetite, it fit the
- 27:19tava, I can see it, it looks good.
- 27:21And then I take a bite. What the Jewish people had in
- 27:24the mid bar was very satiating, was miraculous food.
- 27:29The man was it was perfect, but you couldn't see anything.
- 27:32So once your perspective is that you want more and you and a
- 27:37person wants to Ava, your perspective is that you want the
- 27:41satiation to the ice. Does it make a difference?
- 27:43Absolutely not. But we know from the world of
- 27:46advertisements just how much the eyes and the temptation and the
- 27:50desire and the pull matters. And it makes a person enjoy
- 27:53their food if they're going down the road of temptation so much
- 27:57more. But this is based on the
- 27:59shifting mindset. Without the shifting mindset
- 28:01doesn't make any sense. You have what you need.
- 28:03It's perfect. You have literally a made in the
- 28:07shade. But you know what?
- 28:09I'm going down the road of temptation.
- 28:11It doesn't fulfill my desires. And that is based on this shift.
- 28:15That's what it says. But right that man, because it's
- 28:20nothing. They know Ken Abdullah, he
- 28:22doesn't look like anything, right?
- 28:24And this is what they were saying.
- 28:26But yo, Moshe, Ishma Moshe, Tom, Moshe was crying outside the
- 28:32tents. Hashem gets very hinky.
- 28:34Moshe has been upset as well. And Moshe says to Hashem, what
- 28:39do you do to me? What did you do to me?
- 28:44How did I not God? How come I didn't find any favor
- 28:47in your eyes to give me this burden of the Jewish people?
- 28:51Now I think about this for a second.
- 28:52My shed event was tasked with taking on my side of Egypt,
- 28:56dealing with paddle swinging to see the plagues and everything.
- 29:0040 days and 40 nights by Hardesty night, not eating or
- 29:03drinking, fighting with the angels, tasked with so many wars
- 29:08and everything, dealing with enemies all that it was tasked
- 29:11with. Never a complaint.
- 29:14You have army cell complaining about the food money and the
- 29:16people are dying, Mosheda bin says.
- 29:19What I do wrong to have this position?
- 29:21Mosheda says Did I did I make them?
- 29:24No, they are they my pregnancy, I create them.
- 29:30Did I give birth to them? Because you're making me carry
- 29:33them in my lap as if I'm their mother.
- 29:36Right now I only basalt where am I need the food to feed these
- 29:40people? La Ted, la Hola al maziah Kiev
- 29:42Kuwalai, they're crying to me asking for food.
- 29:44I can't carry them anymore. And Monschedman literally gave
- 29:48up hope taking the Jewish people alone because of this, right in
- 29:53Kaka Ato sali O sali Hashem, if you're going to do this to me,
- 29:57Hageni, now, kill me now. That's why I don't have to see
- 30:04the difficulty. I don't need to witness this
- 30:05difficulty. What in the world is this
- 30:09perspective? And the and Hashem responds by
- 30:12saying, you know what, you're right, the task is too much.
- 30:15We're going to gather 70 people together and we're going to give
- 30:18out a nervoir to them and we're going to delegate a little bit.
- 30:21We're going to change the role of your leadership because it's
- 30:23not going to work anymore. Now we have another story.
- 30:26How do you explain this? I think the only shot is the
- 30:31shot that we have is this idea that once I made some of the
- 30:34shifts in mindsets and once we got negative, what should have
- 30:38been, who says I can't do it? When you have people that buy
- 30:42into something, they can deal with difficulty, they can deal
- 30:45with challenge, they can deal with anything.
- 30:47Very simple. When people are going to the
- 30:49airport, about to go on vacation, they can schlep
- 30:51luggages. They can do all these different
- 30:53things. They go away online, no problem.
- 30:55They're going on vacation, They're in the good mood,
- 30:57they're ready to roll. Yeah, it's a pain, it's
- 30:59annoying, but they're ready to go, right?
- 31:02When people have to do the exact same thing and it's for, I don't
- 31:05know, something work related or something else and it's just
- 31:09slipping right, then it's much harder.
- 31:12Why is it much harder that the only difference is the mood and
- 31:16the mood has the power to literally destroy or build,
- 31:20obviously climb so many mountains based on the mood.
- 31:24We want more and they lost so much based on the mood that
- 31:28we're not in the mood. For example.
- 31:31I, I'm not saying where it came from.
- 31:33That's still every question. It weren't it didn't satisfy
- 31:36them. So it didn't satisfy them.
- 31:38They they they basically regress.
- 31:41Yeah, but it's based on it's gonna.
- 31:43It's like inevitable that they're gonna.
- 31:45Only once you think this way does it not satisfy you, which
- 31:48means naturally. Yeah.
- 31:50Yeah. They should be satisfied.
- 31:51They're wonderful. They have everything they're
- 31:53living. And why you said it's the wrong
- 31:55thing. It's in the Murray.
- 31:56It's like a predisposed predisposed to acting that way.
- 31:59Let me ask you exactly. Let me ask you a question.
- 32:01Living in the desert, was it the greatest thing on earth or was
- 32:04it the worst thing on us? I can't tell you.
- 32:07Probably more than worse. Both, both on the one end.
- 32:12On the one end we have for Sakim later on.
- 32:14Why Hashem says I credit if you lecthe Arkani Bahmanbar, you
- 32:18follow me into the desert. There is Los Arua in the land
- 32:22without grass, without growth. You follow me and it's a very
- 32:27difficult thing and I forever credit on museum.
- 32:31On the other hand, some points Hashem says you lived in the
- 32:34desert, you never needed to change your shoes once.
- 32:36You never needed to change your clothes Once you were fed the
- 32:39mind, you had the clouds, you had the fire, you had
- 32:41everything. You needed the perfect
- 32:42temperature. By the way, we know that the
- 32:45clouds smoothed out the ground, so we had everything.
- 32:49So was it the worst thing? Was it the best thing?
- 32:51The answer, it depends on the move.
- 32:54The perspective initially was it was the best thing with that
- 32:58perspective. We were a lock to go in there.
- 33:00You just say, oh, it was that close.
- 33:02Keep the eyes of you throw out the eyes of Hovav and we're
- 33:05going in. But once you shift gears,
- 33:08everything changes and it continues and continues and
- 33:11continues. Later on in the past shop we
- 33:14have every mache gather 70 people we then have.
- 33:28But the better Miyam Aron, the Moshe.
- 33:32What's this part of the Pasha? Miyam and Aron speak about
- 33:36Moshe, right? Al O Dota isha Khushiit based on
- 33:41Moshe Bina's marriage because he married a woman who is Khushiit.
- 33:46Who's Khushi? Khushi means black little and it
- 33:49means that she was from Itzero's daughter, right?
- 33:53And they were common thing about Moshe Bina being married to such
- 33:55a woman. And Hashem says and then they
- 34:01said, you think Moshe is the only one that has prophecy?
- 34:04We're also prophets. In fact, Mitya might have been a
- 34:06greater prophet than her brother in a certain sense.
- 34:08It's not fully been a certain sense.
- 34:11I don't know. So now where does this come in?
- 34:19And the says that Moshe is more enough and then Hashem punishes
- 34:25Miriam and the whole Jews were about to wait.
- 34:27So I don't know the direct connection, but I believe that
- 34:30the theme is, is that it's spiraling.
- 34:34You know, if something falls apart, it falls apart.
- 34:36In a certain sense, our fabric, which is very much dependent on
- 34:41buying was falling apart. And in a sense, even the idea
- 34:47more should have been on being this undisputed leader was being
- 34:50questioned. People comments say about him,
- 34:52Muyama comments say about him. And that's all part of the
- 34:56overall theme of not being as much put in where initially
- 35:00Moshe Abeda was our leader and he was our everything and now
- 35:04he's not. And therefore Muya made
- 35:07potentially maybe that's why she complained or she commented and
- 35:10she had to get punished. And this Segres and the
- 35:14Parashara stops and says Moshe was an Avniko Adam, which means
- 35:18he didn't deserve anything. He didn't deserve a single
- 35:20comment. He was the greatest man to ever
- 35:23live in a sense, and he did deserve his position of power.
- 35:26And it was not really fair to comment about him because of his
- 35:29greatness. Fine.
- 35:31So we have the negative perspective and the reality.
- 35:34This leads into next week's past show.
- 35:37Next week's past show is Magalene a spice?
- 35:42What is the story of the spice? The exact same story.
- 35:46And that is, they go into Israel because they're nervous, they're
- 35:50afraid. What are you afraid of?
- 35:51God? OK, they're afraid.
- 35:53Fine. They go in and they notice
- 35:55strange things, and they have come and say about the strange
- 35:58things, right? All the things that they noticed
- 36:01were positives, and all those things they saw as negatives.
- 36:05For example, people were dying. Why were people dying?
- 36:08So they said because it's a killer land to realize Hashem
- 36:11was killing the people so that the locals are busy with burials
- 36:14and not busy with the spice. For example, another example,
- 36:17the fruits were huge. Wow, the fruits were huge.
- 36:21Negative. No, not negative.
- 36:23It's weird. No, it's not negative, it's a
- 36:24positive. The land can grow.
- 36:25The people are giants. Negative, No, negative, the land
- 36:28can develop great people. And every single stage was all
- 36:32based on their perspective. This is literally the story of
- 36:35the people at that time. And of course, I needed a reset,
- 36:38eventually got a reset. But this is the overall mindset
- 36:41that a person needs to realize you're this close.
- 36:44I'm having a negative perspective.
- 36:46When you have the negative perspective, everything changes.
- 36:50Literally everything goes the opposite direction.
- 36:53If you're positive, it's beautiful.
- 36:55If you're negative and we all want to be both positive and
- 36:58negative about in our own lives, a person can be positive about
- 37:02them. It's fought opportunity positive
- 37:04about when it comes to your door, positive by your chance to
- 37:08learn right positive by your chance to grow positive about
- 37:11the ability to be involved in your family, to raise your
- 37:14family, to support your family to have all that we have
- 37:18positive all they can do. One of those guys every time you
- 37:21meet them, it's another how it's going to be what's going to be.
- 37:25You know, you know that sound is coming.
- 37:27You don't know why fill in the blank what's going to be
- 37:31regarding this? So what's going to be around
- 37:32that? But overall, what's going to be
- 37:34that is a way of saying life is just not good.
- 37:38I don't know why. No, you're saying you're tired,
- 37:40take a nap. You're saying you're not happy.
- 37:41We got to go here to help you, right?
- 37:43That's what it is. And it's the same person,
- 37:46different perspective, like every classic parable of the
- 37:49person who had a tight home and then all those different
- 37:51examples. And a person has to realize that
- 37:54we're blessed and have a good opportunity.
- 37:57We're lucky to be in a position that we're in and we should pile
- 38:00on. I'm in selling them in borrow
- 38:02war in the greatest place on earth.
- 38:04You know what's interesting? You throw.
- 38:05What's wrong with the positive perspective, Why you throw, why
- 38:08you throw? Why him of all people, 'cause
- 38:10he's outsider. That's that concept.
- 38:13Sometimes the positive, the negativity comes from.
- 38:16Maybe this will answer your other question.
- 38:18Sudden negativity comes from being part of it, being used to
- 38:22it, being bogged down with it, right?
- 38:25Whereas the positivity comes from bringing a fresh face,
- 38:28being outsider, looking at it from that view.
- 38:32That's the difference. I'll give you an example.
- 38:34It's to come to mind. You know, we all have things to
- 38:37say about the community. We love this community.
- 38:39We also have things to say. You know, this, that other
- 38:41thing, the money, the spending, all those different things.
- 38:44So I went to in his route this past week on Sunday night, the
- 38:48Liquid Yeshiva had this massive event, 30,000 plus people in one
- 38:53location and then another location, huge event, celebrate
- 38:56Torah, celebrate their learning. And they brought a rabbi in from
- 38:59Israel. Rabbi is a beautiful
- 39:02celebration. So I was in Israel last week,
- 39:05OK, And I went to the rabbi, went to talk to him and he
- 39:11talking, he's telling his son or someone nearby.
- 39:13He says, do you believe this community, Syrian community?
- 39:16You believe what they're becoming?
- 39:18There's nothing. He's going on and on and on.
- 39:19Like his perspective for me was so refreshing, was so
- 39:23encouraging. He says you never see growth
- 39:24like this. Then he's going on and on and
- 39:26on. Where's the rabbi live?
- 39:28He lives in Gullah. That means he lives literally an
- 39:32inch away in the most, the most whatever Torah community in the
- 39:38world, the center of the Torah community in the world.
- 39:42He's sitting and learning. I witnessed it literally 18
- 39:45hours a day. He is the sin not only in Middle
- 39:49East Chelan. He is not to go along, not to
- 39:53go. He is the person that they
- 39:56brought in from Israel to be the representative of Torah, to
- 40:00celebrate Torah. This is the man.
- 40:02And his perspective, his overwhelming perspectives, look
- 40:05at this community, look what they're doing and look how great
- 40:07they are. And that for all of us to be a
- 40:09refreshing mindset in your position, in your life, whether
- 40:12it be the community, your family, your business, your
- 40:14life, it's a gift, it's a blessing, it's an opportunity,
- 40:17it's an I, you miss what? It's all wonderful.
- 40:20We can take that approach or we can take the opposite. 1 The
- 40:24outcome is that if a person goes on a negative approach, it
- 40:27spirals out of control, Positive, it climbs and climbs
- 40:30and climbs and we'll leave the bracha stop this.
