Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Aharei Mot Kedoshim The Path to Holiness: Overcoming Immorality and Embracing Divinity 4.22.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:02
  Now I thought about cavities here was delve into this.
• 0:08
  We'll delve into parashat. OK, huh.
• 0:15
  Sticking with the parashar trying to we do prepare about
• 0:18
  most Asia bad. So and I play this thing.
• 0:21
  So we have our Haramoke de Shim. We have two pressure this week,
• 0:24
  again, not as long as last week, but there's a lot here.
• 0:29
  One thing that we're trying to pull out like this, right?
• 0:36
  The very sham will shield it more.
• 0:38
  All right, we'll go straight now.
• 0:48
  Hashem says tell the truth people, I am a sham, your God.
• 0:54
  So right away, right, she says that's all news.
• 0:57
  We already have side side fact that Shama has been on our part.
• 1:01
  We already have the mitzvah, first mitzvah OK, Shen.
• 1:04
  So what is this? Why is Sham saying this again
• 1:06
  that Hashem say this? So they're very interesting.
• 1:09
  Kemah say it's Messiah Aishay shaftimbah otasu like the
• 1:15
  actions of the people of Egypt which you lived in.
• 1:19
  Don't act like them. Qamah say it's Kannan a Sharon
• 1:22
  and me Vietcam Shama. And as the actions of the people
• 1:26
  in the land of Kanan that you're going to Lota ASU, don't act
• 1:31
  like them. Don't go in their ways.
• 1:35
  So this is a classic question. What is this pastor telling you?
• 1:39
  Don't act like the Egyptians. Won't you live the monks and
• 1:43
  don't act like the Kanani like you live the monks, the
• 1:46
  Egyptians you're coming from Kanan is where you're going to.
• 1:50
  Don't act like either one, don't follow their ways.
• 1:53
  Now Hashem is more basuki and that sort of theme, but what is
• 1:55
  this concept? Don't act like them.
• 1:57
  Don't act like them. Hashem telling us to keep the
• 2:00
  Tara, we know we have to keep the Tara telling us to keep
• 2:02
  them. It's fault.
• 2:03
  We have to keep the laws. What is this extra thing?
• 2:05
  Don't act like the Egyptians, don't act what you came from.
• 2:08
  Don't act like canal and are you going to morality?
• 2:12
  They're talking about morality. That is the theme, yes, look
• 2:14
  like me, but where is this coming?
• 2:16
  Just tell me the law where the law is, the law is going to be.
• 2:19
  We have our guard, that's it. Hashem Palazani is more Ed
• 2:22
  mishpati tasu to my mishpati, follow my ways.
• 2:27
  And Hashem says again follow my ways, follow my laws, hide by
• 2:34
  him and you'll live by my laws. A lot of exhibit speaking about
• 2:37
  this concept of following Hashem's way.
• 2:39
  Don't follow their way, don't follow their way, follow my way
• 2:42
  and you live. So what does this mean?
• 2:45
  So as she is a little insight doesn't directly address the
• 2:49
  question, writes Rashi. You see Kanan Mitsayim and Kanan
• 2:56
  Mitsayim and Kanan says Rashi were the most immoral places in
• 3:03
  the world, the place that we came from and the place that we
• 3:06
  were going to top two most immoral places in the world, he
• 3:10
  writes. Said Rashi Maggi shima Sam
• 3:13
  Shamit Sri Kananim muku Kalim Mikola.
• 3:17
  Omot. They were more messed up and
• 3:19
  more immoral than the rest of the world.
• 3:21
  And that's where the Jewish people lived and specifically
• 3:23
  the way we lived in these places were actually immoral.
• 3:26
  OK, that's a fact. Fine, we were immoral.
• 3:29
  The places were immoral. We were immoral, they were
• 3:31
  immoral. That's the fact that I'm just
• 3:33
  saying don't be like them. That brings on 2 questions.
• 3:37
  Why would God put us in such a place?
• 3:40
  Why don't you put us in the most immoral place?
• 3:42
  Let me give us a chance. Why put us in the most immoral
• 3:44
  place? And then back to the original
• 3:45
  question, why that's I'm saying don't follow their ways, follow
• 3:49
  my ways again, stick to your point, follow the Twitter and
• 3:52
  that's it. So there's an order Kaim, which
• 3:55
  I don't believe if we understand it properly, will help us
• 3:58
  understand much of the rest of our haremote empire shots
• 4:02
  Kadoshim and a whole new perspective on the Twitter, I
• 4:05
  believe says like this. I'm about to delve into a topic
• 4:10
  of immorality. The second hand of a shot, a
• 4:13
  haremote tells you all the laws of crazy, forms of immorality,
• 4:18
  all the things that you read them and you jump back
• 4:20
  literally, they're so crazy. And the other thing says before
• 4:23
  I have these laws, don't be like the Egyptian company, like the
• 4:26
  Kanani. Why?
• 4:28
  Because Egypt, where we came from, and Kanaan know we're
• 4:31
  going to two most immoral places, specifically in the area
• 4:37
  of all sorts of promiscuity and all that bad stuff.
• 4:41
  That's what he says and he says like this, every person has the
• 4:46
  capability of having self-control in a lot of areas.
• 4:49
  We can follow the Torah, we can follow them.
• 4:51
  It's foot perfectly fine. But he says in this one area
• 4:57
  there are two things that get into people that make it very
• 5:01
  challenging. Whatever for and morality, we're
• 5:03
  talking about two things that make it very challenging.
• 5:06
  What are these two things? He says no more on what people
• 5:10
  see. The more you see this stuff, the
• 5:13
  more you pulled in, he says. And that makes it a very
• 5:15
  difficult fight to fight. And #2 the mind, people get
• 5:20
  thoughts into the head and then they get crazy and it makes it a
• 5:24
  very difficult fight to fight. And he says in this specific
• 5:26
  area, there's the one area and the entire sort of that people
• 5:31
  have the biggest challenge. There's not saying the biggest,
• 5:33
  he had said out there, but it's the biggest challenge once this
• 5:38
  mindset gets in or this site gets in.
• 5:40
  And when it happens, it's very difficult to fight.
• 5:43
  So Hashem this rewrites, he says Hashem is saying Kemah sayyed
• 5:48
  Messiah, the land that you came from which you saw a lot, you
• 5:52
  win this immorality all around you.
• 5:54
  And therefore you saw it and it got into your mind.
• 5:57
  And the land of Kanan that you're going to, which you will
• 5:59
  see among the locals also the same process.
• 6:03
  These two places will make the fight such a greater fight.
• 6:07
  And therefore, I'm telling you specifically, it's not enough to
• 6:10
  say keep the Torah, follow them. It's what you have to be ready
• 6:15
  to fight, to fight against these local mentalities because
• 6:19
  they're going to get into your mind and simply keeping it
• 6:21
  without won't do it for you. You need extra additional
• 6:24
  strength to fight, to fight as in this area and the area
• 6:28
  morale, That's what he's telling you.
• 6:29
  So Hashem specifically spelled them out because God is saying
• 6:32
  you need to be ready for this and you need to be prepared.
• 6:35
  And that's why Hashem says that follow my laws, follow my
• 6:39
  mission, Bataam, live by them, on and on, on the Hashem, God is
• 6:43
  piling on. And then afterwards God give us
• 6:46
  the list. The list is don't do anything
• 6:49
  with that relative and that relative and that person and
• 6:52
  that person and on and on and on.
• 6:55
  After we're given this reduction because in this one area there
• 6:58
  is the fight. That's all the Haim says.
• 7:00
  So he says, how do we get out of the fight?
• 7:02
  If this is the case and you're making it seem like it's stacked
• 7:05
  against us, how do we beat that fight?
• 7:09
  How do you win? He says there are two things.
• 7:13
  One, exactly 1 is distance. It's not enough simply distance.
• 7:21
  It's not enough simply to say I'm not going to do it, I'm
• 7:23
  good, I'll be around everything. I'll see everything, I'll think
• 7:27
  everything, but I have control. He says.
• 7:29
  That won't work. They all get models and this one
• 7:32
  area thinking about rabbis, it's the one area of all areas think
• 7:37
  about rabbis and says there were rabbis.
• 7:40
  There was a rabbi. I forgot his name.
• 7:41
  Let me see if he brings it over here.
• 7:49
  Yeah. Rab Amran, Rab bunch of hasidim,
• 7:53
  A rabbi named Rab Amran who was the rabbi of the Hasidim.
• 7:57
  OK. He was the most Hassid is the
• 7:58
  pious person. He's the rabbi of all pious
• 8:01
  people. And he and he is rabbi witnessed
• 8:06
  a woman that came out right. This isn't a topic of Yehud.
• 8:09
  Actually, it says over there he saw a woman and he got a mite.
• 8:13
  She was across the river. We discussed it before and he
• 8:16
  got his strength and he never had before some sort of
• 8:19
  unbelievable strength. And he tried to cross the river,
• 8:22
  he tried to get closer until the there was a about call came out
• 8:28
  of Shamaya and that said let go of this man, stop Yitsara, stop
• 8:33
  controlling this man. Otherwise he would have caved.
• 8:36
  Another story with another rabbi who also got very close to doing
• 8:38
  something wrong because you saw a beautiful woman until there
• 8:41
  was also he got hit in the face by a seat seat and he caved and
• 8:45
  he and he backed away. In other words, these people,
• 8:48
  great people are going to fail in this one area because when
• 8:52
  they see something when they're around it, they're in trouble.
• 8:54
  So what are the two ways to fight this?
• 8:56
  Fight one and stay away and stay away.
• 9:00
  This is why this is the one topic that we have all topics.
• 9:04
  We have a law of distance. What's the topic of distance
• 9:07
  called Yahoo? A man not only be alone with a
• 9:10
  woman for a certain amount of time, right?
• 9:12
  A locked door can't be alone with a woman can't be alone.
• 9:15
  Why? We don't have that law or
• 9:16
  anything else. All right?
• 9:18
  We don't say don't walk in the mall because uncoached food
• 9:20
  nearby, Who knows what's going to happen?
• 9:21
  We don't say that. We don't say don't deal with
• 9:24
  money because you might be tempted to steal.
• 9:26
  Don't say that, right? We say it with this because it's
• 9:29
  the one area that calls the distance because like you must
• 9:33
  say, it's Messiah. This concept, it's in our mind
• 9:35
  and in our eyes. You're bored with this.
• 9:37
  I'm born with this and OK, very good, 100%.
• 9:41
  And the deeper point is that this idea, this whole issue and
• 9:45
  topic is a very physical concept.
• 9:50
  Immorality specifically is the most physical of all sins and
• 9:54
  it's the most animalistic of all sins, to be very real, most
• 9:58
  animalistic. So I shouldn't be saying
• 10:00
  separate yourself from your physical side.
• 10:03
  Don't just rely on your physical side and just say I'm going to
• 10:06
  control it. It's not going to happen unless
• 10:08
  you do two things separate and Hashem says the words, I need
• 10:13
  Hashem to look at him. I am Hashem your God.
• 10:16
  What does that mean? Because you have Hashem in me.
• 10:19
  If you could connect to my way, if you in your mind try to be
• 10:23
  close to Hashem, that'll be your assistance.
• 10:27
  That'll help you out. These are the two of you right
• 10:30
  after this basuk say right after this Basuk says, therefore the
• 10:37
  opening basuk of all these things ish ish El Corsa erbisaro
• 10:41
  persons Tanaki close to don't get close to a relative.
• 10:49
  Otherwise in this way, it says the word don't get close.
• 10:52
  Why say don't get close? Because again, we have to create
• 10:55
  this distance for this specific topic fast opening and then the
• 10:58
  Basu goes through all these crazy examples of immorality.
• 11:03
  Once I have introduction. But again, it's because of the
• 11:05
  mind and the others. Now after the basuk in Arkan
• 11:09
  remote goes to all these examples and then says these
• 11:13
  words, Alti tammu, behold Elle do not become defiled in in tame
• 11:21
  impure with all these actions because of all these ways the
• 11:25
  goem do these things keep the whole Elle is all the ways of
• 11:28
  the goem. And I'm taking you away from the
• 11:31
  goem. And listen, Hashem says if you
• 11:35
  do these bad things, the land will kick you out of the law.
• 11:40
  Takiya ISA trem betama trem OTA, the land of Israel will kick you
• 11:45
  out if you do these immoral things.
• 11:48
  The same way it got rid of all the gahema that came before him.
• 11:51
  What is this concept? It's a classic Ramban's idea.
• 11:54
  What is this concept? If you do immoral things and the
• 11:57
  land that you're going to land of Israel is going to kick you
• 11:59
  out. What's this idea?
• 12:02
  And Amban says that being that we're talking about a topic that
• 12:06
  is an issue of immorality, we're talking about a person caving to
• 12:12
  his physical side. His physical side basically
• 12:15
  means he's keeping away, He's keeping away from his connection
• 12:21
  to Hashem, Right? So I'm bound this point.
• 12:24
  Listen to this point. He says like this.
• 12:27
  He says the Land of Israel is a cador's place.
• 12:31
  The Land of Israel is where Hashem Shekhina lives, right as
• 12:35
  the land of Israelism, I call him, where Hashem has special
• 12:38
  attention on a special kadusha. If a person case to his immoral
• 12:44
  side in that land, it's going to spit him out.
• 12:46
  Why is it going to spit him out? America won't spit him out.
• 12:49
  China won't spit him out, but Israel will.
• 12:52
  Why? Because the kadusha and the
• 12:55
  holiness of Hashem is a contrast to the person's physical side.
• 12:59
  So that's what I was telling you keep away, avoid it, don't cave,
• 13:04
  don't give in. You have Hashem inside of you.
• 13:07
  Don't go with the immoral side, don't go with the animalistic
• 13:09
  side, go to the Hashem side. And if we do wrong this in this
• 13:13
  area, specifically in Land of Israel, it's going to spit us
• 13:16
  out. But there's the land of Kedusha.
• 13:18
  That's what the best who could tell us.
• 13:20
  All right, what do you think that's bad taking a lot better.
• 13:24
  OK, now this segues into the next special that we learn in
• 13:31
  this week, which is very different.
• 13:33
  This is a very sort of speak, I would say, dirty topic.
• 13:38
  The next special that we learn is pure, elevated, holy,
• 13:43
  beautiful. What's the name of the second
• 13:48
  special I read this week? I need you to speak to all the
• 13:56
  Jewish people, by the way, all at once.
• 13:59
  Tell them a new mitzvah. Kiddoshim to you and you should
• 14:06
  be old. Why should you be holy?
• 14:13
  Because I your God, I'm holy too.
• 14:16
  Be holy. What is this mitzvah?
• 14:18
  We asked earlier? What was the mitzvah of avoiding
• 14:21
  the nation? We got it.
• 14:22
  It's a mitzvah of keeping away, of creating a distance.
• 14:25
  Fine, what is this with thought to be holy, That's what being
• 14:28
  holy. I got to be a Jew.
• 14:29
  I got to follow through. Again, the same kind of
• 14:30
  question. I have to follow through all of
• 14:32
  us close. What does it mean to behold
• 14:36
  close to al sham? I may follow the whole to that.
• 14:37
  I'll be close to al sham. What does it mean?
• 14:41
  So Rashi says again, same idea and the same topic.
• 14:45
  Says, Rashi. You notice that this material of
• 14:49
  being holy comes right after the previous topic of immorality.
• 14:52
  This is infant morality, all right?
• 14:54
  She says. Kiddoshim to you actually means
• 14:58
  the exact same constant you just mentioned.
• 15:01
  When a person separates from getting close to Salim Prabhas,
• 15:06
  a person is careful to not see something wrong.
• 15:10
  He becomes kadosh. So kiddoshim to you is the flip
• 15:15
  side of avoiding getting close to something immoral.
• 15:19
  Kiddoshim, right? Rashi means pirushim.
• 15:23
  It means separate. And when you separate, you
• 15:26
  become kadosh. So yes, that previous topic was
• 15:29
  dealing with fighting with a person's immoral side and
• 15:32
  getting rid of it. But at the same time, that topic
• 15:34
  is actually developing and creating our beautiful side.
• 15:39
  And the way it works is this, when a person separates
• 15:42
  themselves and says, I'm in for the fight and I'm going to
• 15:46
  recognize that it's something that can take me down and order.
• 15:49
  Haim told me that every human being, naturally, if they're
• 15:52
  around them too much, they will not win the fight, he writes,
• 15:56
  unless they figure out a mechanism that handle it all
• 15:58
  right, He knows that he separates, OK?
• 16:01
  He's not just a winning guy. He's also developing himself as
• 16:05
  a troop. Kiddo.
• 16:06
  Shin Tahir, I read you the rights, right?
• 16:08
  She's going to ask you a much Porter question, says Rashi.
• 16:14
  She called Macomb sha TA mutse geder Eva.
• 16:19
  Any scenario you find the person being careful when it comes to
• 16:25
  immorality. Atah mutse mutse kedusha you
• 16:31
  find holiness. It's not just he avoided
• 16:34
  morality. So he's functioning as a Jew.
• 16:36
  No, he avoids immorality and he therefore develops holiness.
• 16:41
  Why don't you just say he stays the same now he guy's married.
• 16:45
  The guy's a good guy. He doesn't do anything wrong.
• 16:48
  He's proper, he's careful, he's good.
• 16:51
  Done. That's it.
• 16:54
  What's a time? We'll seek you to shop and find
• 16:56
  all of this. What's right?
• 16:59
  She telling you? He's telling you that this is
• 17:01
  actually the way a Jews develops.
• 17:03
  Let me ask you a broader question.
• 17:04
  Why would I sham put us in the two most immoral places in the
• 17:08
  world? How would you put us there?
• 17:11
  How would you put us starting off from the time we have to
• 17:14
  fight that fight going to Canaan, we started the most
• 17:17
  immoral place in the world. Fight that fight.
• 17:20
  And by the way, your chronicle history, we've been through a
• 17:22
  lot of in a lot of places that were extremely immoral.
• 17:25
  Why we got to press these places?
• 17:27
  Why not make a time top ten of the list, not the worst ever and
• 17:33
  Canaan the worst, second worst ever.
• 17:34
  What? So the idea is this.
• 17:38
  It's not simply fighting the fight and developing a distance
• 17:43
  just to keep yourself good through the fight, through the
• 17:48
  digging in and saying I recognize as a challenge and I
• 17:51
  want to overcome it and I'm going to keep my distance and be
• 17:54
  careful. You don't just fight the fight,
• 17:56
  you develop through that process.
• 17:59
  The only way a Jew becomes holy is on this earth through saying
• 18:04
  I'm going to keep oil. If he would live in a world that
• 18:07
  didn't have any of this immorality and he just function
• 18:09
  as an old person, this kadusha would not develop inside of us.
• 18:13
  The way we developed kadusha is through the commitment to keep
• 18:18
  away. So yes, you have all those sins
• 18:20
  and the distance, and then you have Kadushin to become whole.
• 18:24
  This is the process and this is the concept of two players shot
• 18:28
  one right after the other. Now Azaram Ban takes you one
• 18:32
  step further. You're saying it's not the same
• 18:42
  to say just don't do this or avoid this.
• 18:45
  It's saying if you have this in front of you and you overcame
• 18:48
  it, therefore you're going to get the reward for not duly.
• 18:51
  And you have in front of you and you figure out a way to do as we
• 18:56
  said, which is keep it away and keep the distance.
• 19:00
  You are developing yourself to become something holy.
• 19:03
  So after we're told, avoid those people.
• 19:06
  Men were told because it seemed to you Hashem is saying I put
• 19:09
  you in that position specifically so that you can
• 19:13
  fight. It could.
• 19:13
  Overcome the challenge. Right, battle it and become so.
• 19:16
  It is the obvious challenge and it's a clear challenge and God
• 19:19
  put us into this world for that challenge.
• 19:22
  That's part of the reason we're putting this world, all right.
• 19:24
  In fact, it says, we say kados, kados kados, right?
• 19:28
  And the villa 3 Kadu Shahs talking about Hashem.
• 19:31
  Of course, if the middash says these three, 'cause the Shahs
• 19:35
  are three, I think 3 crowns of Hashem can be shot, God will say
• 19:38
  to the Jewish people, I take 1 crown.
• 19:41
  And you, if you dig in for this fight and you become a holy
• 19:44
  person like we're seeing, you're going to get 2 out of the three
• 19:47
  crowns, which means this makes U.S. special.
• 19:50
  This idea. I'm going to tell you around Ban
• 19:52
  and I'll tell you why I'm going to do it.
• 19:54
  And Ban says, says that Amman it's mitzvah be holy means a
• 20:00
  little bit more detail. I'm sure you've heard this
• 20:02
  before. And Amman says.
• 20:06
  Fadda doesn't like a person eating our kosher.
• 20:10
  Fadda doesn't like a person like we mentioned do.
• 20:13
  Anything's immoral. I Salamban, a person can eat
• 20:16
  kosher, drink kosher, be perfectly immoral technically,
• 20:22
  at the same time completely destroy the goal posts and the
• 20:28
  borders and everything. How's that possible?
• 20:31
  How is it possible to eat kosher, drink kosher, be perfect
• 20:35
  or more when it comes to the area, and yet destroy the rules
• 20:40
  of law as a positive in the way of a Jewish life?
• 20:43
  He's we have a concept called naval beshuta.
• 20:48
  That means he can have a guy. He's glaucous.
• 20:52
  He won't eat any meat, but bet yourself meat, the best meat.
• 20:55
  And yet he eats loads of meat every day.
• 20:59
  He's a clowness person. He thinks that I like that
• 21:01
  person. You have a guy he only drinks
• 21:05
  the most kosher drinks, but he gets drunk every day and so that
• 21:09
  likes that person. No shot.
• 21:11
  That's a naval a disgusting person.
• 21:14
  He calls it to the shoot A to that according to the following
• 21:17
  the rules. He's finding sketch inside the
• 21:21
  rules and I'm buying this other example.
• 21:23
  So the guy who's moral I'll never throw anything
• 21:27
  inappropriate. No, of course not.
• 21:30
  But he overdoes what he's allowed to do with whom he's
• 21:34
  allowed to do it. Then Amman says that's also
• 21:37
  immoral. It's also going and going to the
• 21:40
  rules. But doing something disgusting,
• 21:42
  becoming overly involved in in that type of activity is a
• 21:46
  disgusting person. So you have a person who's going
• 21:50
  and going to the rules be a shootout Torah, but he's a
• 21:53
  naval. When the Torah says kiddoshim to
• 21:56
  you, Torah is telling you. Torah is telling you, don't just
• 22:02
  follow the book, live by the book, Book, get the sentiment of
• 22:06
  the book, get the meaning behind.
• 22:08
  When Hashem tells you keep kosher, Hashem is saying watch
• 22:10
  what you eat. That means as a Jew with the
• 22:13
  soul and the body and a holy person, don't just eat anything
• 22:17
  at all times. Watch what you drink, same
• 22:19
  thing. Watch who you're with, same
• 22:22
  thing. All these concepts are concepts
• 22:25
  of a person realizing that he is something special.
• 22:27
  So that's what I'm about to explain.
• 22:29
  Is this mitzvah Kadoshim to you? It's not only like Rashi learns
• 22:33
  a mitzvah to keep away from back and keep the distance.
• 22:37
  It's also a mitzvah that developed the goal.
• 22:40
  These are your rats. All right, so these are the 2
• 22:43
  plus Shields so far I know about the delve into a whole concert.
• 22:47
  2 plus shots are Akaramo told us keep the distance from
• 22:51
  immorality. Don't just avoid it.
• 22:53
  Keep the distance because all the reim says otherwise.
• 22:56
  We'll cave. Fine.
• 22:58
  And you fight that fight, OK, The machine to you says, and you
• 23:01
  become a holy person. You become Kadosh.
• 23:04
  What's we have a term for a holy person?
• 23:06
  Nezer. He has a crown.
• 23:09
  When a person digs in to fight, to fight, to not be close to
• 23:13
  something immoral, they have on the head a crown.
• 23:16
  A Nazir. That's an Azir, a guy who
• 23:20
  commits to keep away from things that are going to pull him in.
• 23:25
  Nazir is someone who avoids wine.
• 23:28
  He avoids me. He avoids the why.
• 23:31
  Why does he avoid these things because he realized that he was
• 23:35
  he's afraid in my case, I might do something immoral,
• 23:38
  inappropriate. I can't get drunk mosquito
• 23:40
  getting drunk. They have 4.
• 23:42
  He avoids wine and Nazir is called the nez and he has a
• 23:45
  crown When a jewel makes a commitment to keep away from
• 23:50
  getting close to something that'll lead to sin and he digs
• 23:53
  in to fight to fight like Hashem put us in the position in
• 23:56
  Messiah McKenna for that reason. Then he turns and becomes a real
• 24:01
  holy person. That's the theme of these two
• 24:03
  pressure. All right now I want to take it
• 24:06
  one step further. So before you have the team
• 24:09
  further to get closer in a way or so closer to Jackie we
• 24:12
  exactly I'm going to take it one step further to get much closer
• 24:15
  to Hashem. Hashem says his words in the
• 24:18
  pasuk Ki doshim to you. You should be holy because I
• 24:23
  kika doshani Hashem, because all your God, I'm holy because
• 24:28
  Hashem is holy. We should become holy.
• 24:30
  Wisconsin. The concept is, is that a person
• 24:34
  is born and a man is made out of dirt.
• 24:37
  He's fully physical. And if he caves into his animal
• 24:41
  side, as we mentioned, and his physical side and his immoral
• 24:44
  side, like daughter hanging says, every person is inclined
• 24:46
  to do and he's technically speaking wired to do.
• 24:49
  If he caves into that, he's staying ground, he's staying
• 24:53
  physical, and he's keeping away from God.
• 24:55
  What Hashem says, Kikadosh ani Hashem, look at him.
• 24:59
  Hashem is telling the person you dug in for the fight, you were
• 25:03
  saying I got to keep away from things that will lead to
• 25:05
  immoralities. Or the Heim tells us you're
• 25:07
  therefore getting the crown of Kedusha.
• 25:09
  You're going from keeping away to becoming kidushin to becoming
• 25:13
  a holy person because I Hashem, what does that mean?
• 25:16
  You're coming closer to your godly side than you are to your
• 25:20
  physical side. That's what Hashem is saying in
• 25:23
  that pursuit when the basuk said keep away from the Egyptians and
• 25:29
  the Kanaanim and all their sins and their ways.
• 25:32
  He said over there notes to Sukim Bahai by him and you're
• 25:36
  going to live by this new Jewish way of law right where Shihai by
• 25:40
  him means Olamaba. You're going to go on to
• 25:42
  Olamaba. It's one of the only places you
• 25:44
  have me tied to it huh. As hidden to the cast of Lamaba
• 25:48
  only places writes that I'm about you know how Allahabad
• 25:51
  works something wild he says a person you ever heard the
• 25:56
  Elianavi never passed away for the concept Aqua vino lomet.
• 26:01
  Where is he for how to imagine what that means, but there's a
• 26:05
  concept where is the concept says that I'm bond the way it
• 26:08
  works is that a person who delves into their holy son or
• 26:13
  keeps away from things physical. He becomes Monisha, Monisha more
• 26:19
  godly, more godly until an Elianavi.
• 26:23
  On his level, it was basically just segue it into a new person.
• 26:28
  He became a person that's all soul and little body.
• 26:31
  So what happened? Time came to die, He died, but
• 26:36
  he's all saw now, so he just continue on.
• 26:38
  This isn't a violent thing. It sounds like, you know, like
• 26:40
  in the movies with the guy or they have the people mutated
• 26:43
  something else better to speak A person who does mitzvot and
• 26:47
  keeps away from ban. He becomes, according to Naban,
• 26:50
  a different person. He in fact, he says the idea of
• 26:53
  Thriyatta Mateem is literally this concept that we all are
• 26:57
  going to become throughout our life, better and better people,
• 27:00
  more holy, more holy, more holy while we on this earth.
• 27:03
  And then we can come such a holy existence.
• 27:06
  We'll take a little break right and then when time comes right
• 27:10
  from tequila, I'm a team. We'll just continue on our
• 27:12
  holies ark. That's how he explains father is
• 27:14
  not about explains it. So this is based on if a person
• 27:18
  commits to separate from the physical animal dirt immoral
• 27:25
  side and become closer and closer to the Hashem side.
• 27:28
  So Hashem says the words kiddoshimte, you should be holy
• 27:31
  because I Hashem, I'm holy. What's?
• 27:34
  Because you're getting closer to Hashem, so be like Hashem.
• 27:38
  There's the thing. In fact, if has these words
• 27:42
  Yahoo kamoni, you might think, says Nazah, that when a person
• 27:49
  becomes holy they're going to become these little words Yahoo
• 27:53
  kamoni. You might think you can become
• 27:55
  as holy as God Tamul Aman. Therefore the basuk says I am a
• 28:01
  sham your God, I'm holier than you.
• 28:03
  But what does that even mean then?
• 28:06
  You might think you become as holy as God, and no one has a
• 28:09
  real shot to know what that really means.
• 28:10
  It sounds crazy, but what it means is that as Shemard saying,
• 28:13
  what we're doing is we're moving closer and closer to the
• 28:16
  godliness inside of us and further and further to the human
• 28:20
  side inside of us. And it's telling every person
• 28:22
  you know, you have people while they're in the fight of, let's
• 28:26
  say, your morality with temptation and stuff like that,
• 28:28
  they can't control themselves. They just can't control it and
• 28:31
  they don't know how it's possible that a person can.
• 28:35
  You know a person can by trying to because the way it works is
• 28:38
  the system is once a person makes a commitment to avoid
• 28:43
  immorality or things that pull them in them, thoughts and
• 28:46
  science, stuff like that, and they slowly but surely can more
• 28:49
  control and more control. How does that make sense?
• 28:52
  It's a physical poke how it's doable.
• 28:54
  It's this concept, literally, as the person fights the fight, he
• 28:59
  moves closer and closer to the Hashem side of him and less and
• 29:02
  less urge, less and less pull to immorality.
• 29:06
  That's the process. You're that's totally the
• 29:09
  process. That's what he's telling you.
• 29:11
  Now, you know, we have a concept of Tim Tum Halev.
• 29:17
  Get rid of the concept. Tim Tum Halev.
• 29:19
  Know what this means? If a person eats on kosher,
• 29:23
  right On kosher's no good. What happens when you eat on
• 29:27
  kosher? So a guy eats so yeah, eats ham.
• 29:31
  He's not, he's not religious eats ham, he's sitting.
• 29:33
  It's not the only thing that happens.
• 29:36
  I'm kosher has the power to go into a person's body.
• 29:40
  This is brought down in many places and make the person dense
• 29:44
  as a Jew, dense sneeze. Torah can't penetrate his mind.
• 29:50
  Kedushal can't penetrate his mind.
• 29:51
  This is brought down all places when they make people become
• 29:54
  ballet to Shiva, change their ways.
• 29:56
  The first thing they work on people that's kosher for this
• 29:58
  reason, because if you want a person to grow and change, you
• 30:02
  have to, you know, remove the denseness on kosher goes into a
• 30:05
  person's body and it's made Tom tan.
• 30:07
  It thickens to live the heart and the mind and he's not open
• 30:12
  to purity and growth. That's a concept.
• 30:15
  It's very similar using that as an example to the constant
• 30:19
  dealing with right now. If a person caves and lets
• 30:22
  themselves be around immoral thoughts and moral people,
• 30:26
  immoral pulse, then they become much, much denser.
• 30:29
  As a Jew, if a person makes his fight, makes his commitment to
• 30:33
  fight the fight, and he keeps away and becomes kikoshim to
• 30:36
  you, and it becomes much purer as a Jew.
• 30:40
  That's the process. And I'll prove it to you in this
• 30:42
  way without presenting the pasukim.
• 30:45
  Pasuk gives laws. Ish Imor Vaviv Tirao says the
• 30:50
  pasuk, a manager of fear, is called his mother and father.
• 30:54
  OK, mother law. Kibura vam.
• 30:58
  It's an old one. It's a fear that's covered.
• 31:01
  Same idea. El Chapo Titus Moro.
• 31:04
  Keep Shabbat. You ever heard that?
• 31:06
  Little before in the Torah, Even a million times.
• 31:09
  Why are we saying it now? I have the kiddushim to you.
• 31:12
  Be holy, we say. Fear.
• 31:14
  Your parents keep Shabbat. You continue.
• 31:18
  Don't serve Abu Dazarah. That's a new law.
• 31:21
  Old law. Are we saying it again?
• 31:26
  Don't make idols I'm your God old law when you serve as
• 31:31
  sacrifice. Don't Tashem don't have the
• 31:33
  wrong thoughts. Random law All these laws are
• 31:37
  random. They're either old mainly most
• 31:41
  of them have old references. So why are we saying these laws
• 31:44
  now have to give the same to you?
• 31:46
  There's. A top five.
• 31:48
  They're the top five, but why are you paying top five?
• 31:50
  You told me them by the 10 commandments call all day, the
• 31:52
  rabbi's Satan, the DAJ says. In fact, these bizukim are all
• 31:55
  repeating the 10 commandments. Why are you repeating 10
• 31:58
  commandments over here? You already said it.
• 32:01
  Because if you're avoiding the band like that, then you have
• 32:03
  the lowest of the low. You got to start with the most
• 32:06
  important ones. They get too.
• 32:08
  What do you like here? Feel too too much head.
• 32:10
  OK, both good answers. I'll tell you the answer to the
• 32:14
  smaller says as he says the concept, a Jew, a regular symbol
• 32:19
  Jew who didn't dig in to fight the fight of immorality, who's
• 32:23
  still caving to his physical side.
• 32:26
  I'll keep you Tada. Keep them.
• 32:27
  Its foot not the same, Tada, it's not the same.
• 32:29
  Its foot, it's limited. I'll follow.
• 32:32
  Thank you. Mamas.
• 32:33
  Like Tada told us, respect your parents, respect his parents,
• 32:36
  but you won't get the sentiment, the theme of what it means to
• 32:40
  have parents and serve them. I'll follow the law of keeping
• 32:43
  Shabbat. I'll keep Shabbat because he
• 32:45
  knows he has to keep the Shabbat, but because he's still
• 32:47
  caving to his immoral sight and he's still too much body and not
• 32:50
  so much soul. The way he writes this woman
• 32:52
  says he'll keep Shabbat, but it won't have the meaning of
• 32:55
  Shabbat. He won't do Abu Dazrah.
• 32:57
  He knows 10 commandments on Abu Dazrah, but it will be very
• 33:00
  basic at dust. The depth and the sentiment and
• 33:04
  the meaning of al mitzvot only come whole only seeking to a Jew
• 33:10
  once he becomes and steps into the Kedoshim to you seem once
• 33:14
  you make the commitment to being more soul than body to avoid
• 33:18
  being so physically inclined and immorally thoughts and you delve
• 33:23
  into a new path, then the mitzvot inside of us have a
• 33:27
  whole new meaning and have a whole new impact.
• 33:30
  It's like a clip Ha, right? Exactly as soon as you say clip
• 33:33
  Ha's a guy get out. Something that blocks you and a
• 33:35
  person is time. A person has immorality.
• 33:39
  They have something blocking them.
• 33:40
  When a person is involved themselves in all things that
• 33:43
  are just disgusting the world around us, it blocks them from
• 33:47
  the capability of becoming their pure self.
• 33:49
  And the mitzvot that they even do don't have the same meaning.
• 33:53
  So therefore we go one by one, we repeat the mitzvot, but now
• 33:57
  with a whole new emphasis. So we said we don't just say
• 34:00
  serve your parents. You know, the Gemara tells us a
• 34:04
  guy could serve his parents, which is mitzvah, and he can do
• 34:07
  a terrible job. He can serve his parents the
• 34:12
  most lavished dinner. And the Gemara says he's going
• 34:16
  to get get hang on for it. What does that mean?
• 34:20
  How's that possible? What's the last example?
• 34:22
  And it's literally this team. He goes, cooks his father some
• 34:27
  amazing dinner. He brings it to his father.
• 34:30
  His father says, wow, where'd you get that from?
• 34:34
  And something to sound like, don't ask, stop bothering me.
• 34:40
  His salve is not really like that salve did a good job.
• 34:42
  This is flat out stop bothering me.
• 34:44
  Don't ask the questions. And the son basically makes his
• 34:47
  father feel guilty about the service and it destroys the
• 34:50
  whole thing. And the opposite, you can do
• 34:53
  very little for your parents, but you do it in a nice way.
• 34:56
  The gods give us an example where the sun there's only very
• 35:01
  little, but not exactly what it was.
• 35:03
  And he gets got at them because he did it in a nice way.
• 35:05
  Which means the theme of Kiwudav Ms. right.
• 35:11
  It's all about the smile. It's all about the approach.
• 35:14
  The the the theme of Kiwudav M the law 10 commandments is serve
• 35:19
  your parents, but that's a simple guy just does that a guy
• 35:23
  who has meaning who's becoming holier, who's developing the
• 35:26
  sentiment of a Jew who's allowing them to swore to sink
• 35:29
  in and getting the meaning of the mitzvah.
• 35:31
  We had our pursuit ish in more of a person should be in awe of
• 35:36
  their parents. That means recognize who your
• 35:39
  parents are. Understand the theme of serving
• 35:42
  your parents. The whole theme is that they are
• 35:44
  on a pedestal. Place them on a pedestal.
• 35:46
  Don't just deliver with a, with a, with a, with a sad face, an
• 35:50
  angry face. Place them on the pedestal like
• 35:52
  at the meaning of the Pasu. That's one when it talks about
• 35:55
  Shabbat, when they got to keep Shabbat, so I doesn't say it
• 35:58
  their way here it says thank you, ma'am.
• 36:00
  It says zahor of Shamo keep Shabbat.
• 36:04
  Here it says E chabto Titus Moro, keep all my Shabbat.
• 36:10
  I am a Shabbat, does all my Shabbat.
• 36:12
  I mean, they have a lot of different types of Shabbat.
• 36:14
  You have Shabbat, you have holidays, you have Shimita once
• 36:19
  every seven years, meaning all those things are one, how they
• 36:22
  are one. They're all signs and Hashem
• 36:24
  runs the world. Get the theme of Shabbat.
• 36:27
  Recognize that Hashem one's real.
• 36:29
  You're a Kikoshim too, you're a holy person.
• 36:31
  Now you can absorb fearing your parents, the meaning of them.
• 36:35
  It's all keeping Shabbat, the meaning of it's all next one.
• 36:38
  Al Tifnu Alim don't turn to Abu Dhazra.
• 36:42
  It doesn't say simply don't serve like it doesn't matter. 10
• 36:45
  commandments don't turn to them. Don't tell me what that means.
• 36:49
  Don't be interested in their path to try to help you out.
• 36:54
  Don't be oh, I'm stuck. I need to get a deal done.
• 36:57
  Someone says if I pray to this thing, it's going to help me and
• 37:00
  you turn to them or if I pay this person or if I do this
• 37:03
  move, you know, whatever action it is, it's going to help me.
• 37:06
  Don't even turn to them. Get the sentiment of of Abu
• 37:09
  Dazid al law, which is God is the only God and nothing else.
• 37:13
  Don't just keep the laws get the meaning we're more and more all
• 37:17
  the same thing. All right, This is the overall
• 37:21
  thing. It says don't be tough on on
• 37:26
  poor people. All this example.
• 37:28
  I'll give you one last example and then we'll stop.
• 37:32
  Yeah. It says there's a law for the
• 37:34
  fnee better by the time of show. What does that do?
• 37:39
  If May don't play some background blind, May No, that's
• 37:44
  the law. The deeper meaning of that law
• 37:46
  is deeper meaning is don't enable another Jew to sing.
• 37:51
  What is that law? It's not my law, it's his law.
• 37:54
  Don't let him sing. Why am I responsible?
• 37:57
  I was sending with that. I was just a metaphor.
• 37:59
  Say I was somebody. Oh, selling block is mainly A
• 38:01
  metaphor, Yes. Either means literally putting a
• 38:04
  stick in front of him, or it means bad advice or this third
• 38:08
  meaning which is enabling. So why is that my law?
• 38:11
  Why do I care if he says I'm me? I'm doing a good job as a Jew.
• 38:15
  I'm checking every box myself. He's him.
• 38:18
  He's got to figure out his whole life.
• 38:20
  If I enable him, to him, it's his issue.
• 38:26
  But why? Why do I?
• 38:28
  Why should I care about that? I got to worry about myself.
• 38:30
  He should worry about himself. The answers are the answers as a
• 38:38
  Jew when you get to the immediate loss and sent him to
• 38:41
  that you say it's not just enough for me to avoid sending
• 38:45
  myself. I don't want at all the law of
• 38:48
  sins to exist. I don't want to be behind the
• 38:52
  development of the sin all together.
• 38:53
  So if I myself I'm pure and clean as a whistle, but I have a
• 38:57
  business that think enables people to do inappropriate
• 39:00
  things right. So I'm a person who I'm checking
• 39:04
  every box. I clearly don't care about the
• 39:06
  meaning of the laws. I clearly don't care about the
• 39:08
  greater good. I don't care about Hashem's
• 39:10
  world If I'm in that situation and the law that says don't do
• 39:15
  this, don't enable another person is telling you you're a
• 39:18
  Jew, you're a kid that seemed to you person.
• 39:20
  You're now doubling into the meaning you'd be doubling into
• 39:22
  the meaning You should be able to see you should be behind none
• 39:27
  of these sins. You shouldn't be at all involved
• 39:29
  in the sin followers come to soul makes sense.
• 39:32
  The last example in this two more actually, he says don't be
• 39:36
  tough on a poor man say Maria, That's a theme.
• 39:39
  We have many laws of Sedaka, but it means don't be mean to them
• 39:41
  as well. And the final one is it'd be the
• 39:44
  hardest law that we have. It'd be the hardest law in the
• 39:49
  entire Torah. Few angles to this, don't hate
• 39:53
  another Jew, don't take revenge against another Jew.
• 39:57
  And tippy top hardest law in the Torah is via Hafda la de haka
• 40:02
  mocha. Love your fellow man like you
• 40:05
  love yourself. Why is it so hard?
• 40:07
  Because if you take it literally, it means whatever I
• 40:11
  worry about for myself I need to worry about for a random another
• 40:14
  Jew. That's a difficult law to keep
• 40:17
  is a literal or not debatable, but it's definitely pretty high
• 40:20
  up. And the theme is that we have
• 40:23
  thousands of laws of how to treat another Jew.
• 40:25
  Don't steal, don't damage, don't harm, don't speak about, don't
• 40:30
  insult, don't embarrass, right? All the don't defame, all these
• 40:34
  different laws, don't compete in an appropriate way.
• 40:38
  Many, many laws. At the core of them all love
• 40:42
  your fellow man like you love yourself.
• 40:44
  And because Kedoshim to you is a Panasha that is talking to a Jew
• 40:48
  who has dedicated himself to developing and becoming holy,
• 40:52
  we're telling you now let's get to the core of all these laws.
• 40:55
  I can't the parents and Shabbats and Abu Dazzar and I can't the
• 40:59
  poor people. And now when it comes to this,
• 41:02
  that's what I was telling you. It's not simply enough to not
• 41:05
  steal or to not damage, but you got to think the meaning behind
• 41:10
  those laws are you should worry about your fellow Jew as much as
• 41:13
  you worry about yourself. And this is only doable for a
• 41:17
  person who's a kid or seem to you Jew.
• 41:20
  And there's the theme. The theme about the two-part I
• 41:22
  showed is we start with literally, we start in the
• 41:26
  cesspool, those jokes. We start in Mitzrayim, which is
• 41:30
  the bottom of the barrel of air and morale.
• 41:32
  We go to Canaan, which is also right there, bottom of our
• 41:36
  morale and turn out says don't be like either one.
• 41:39
  What are you going to do instead?
• 41:41
  Climb out of that, keep a distance or the Haim says you
• 41:44
  need to do this because otherwise you're going to fall.
• 41:46
  There's no other way out there. You go for a person has all the
• 41:50
  ability to fight the etcetera, but it does not have the power
• 41:54
  to fight the etcetera in this area unless he willing to
• 41:58
  separate himself. In fact, there was a rabbit that
• 42:00
  said let the Satan take me on. I'll take the Satan on
• 42:07
  one-on-one. And he said, he said I think I
• 42:10
  can handle the IT sat on you give me it.
• 42:12
  I worked on myself enough. I think I could take it on.
• 42:15
  What do you think happened? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:21
  It's a bad move. He had said the Satan appear
• 42:24
  like a beautiful woman and he almost caved.
• 42:26
  Like we said before, one of those examples, this is one of
• 42:28
  them and he almost caved and they're talking about a great,
• 42:31
  great Ravo. How is that possible?
• 42:33
  Because this is the one area, the whole area of immorality
• 42:36
  that are personally becoming more body than soul, more
• 42:38
  physical than holy, more human being than godly.
• 42:42
  And if you allow it to just exist and say I'm not going to
• 42:44
  care what I see, what I think, what goes on around me, whom I'm
• 42:48
  around, good luck. So the pasuka is saying keep
• 42:52
  away like I am, go a different direction.
• 42:55
  And the Tada Hashem specifically put us in those terrible places
• 42:58
  and said keep away for that reason so that it's not only all
• 43:01
  Bay. Hashem is telling us if you keep
• 43:04
  away, you don't just avoid Bay. You'll become good because now
• 43:08
  you're moving to the other Isle, You're moving to the Isle of
• 43:11
  Holiness, to the Isle of Hashem to the point that a person can
• 43:15
  entertain. I might be climbing the ranks to
• 43:17
  become godlier and godlier, maybe all the way up to the top.
• 43:20
  No, you're not going to get to the top top, but you're going to
• 43:22
  get close. That's how far it goes.
• 43:24
  And then then Amban tells us. So the Jew has to follow the
• 43:27
  sentiment of the laws and get the meaning behind the laws.
• 43:30
  And then the prize shower repeats all the 10 commandments.
• 43:33
  What's new about these laws? We know the murder answer is
• 43:37
  when you're a kadosh person, the laws have a whole new meaning
• 43:39
  and have a whole new power. Parents are people you respect,
• 43:44
  not just serve Shabbat. His son that Hashem's day not
• 43:48
  just Yuki Abu Dazra is something that you have no interest in not
• 43:51
  just you avoid poor people something you worry about other
• 43:55
  Jews is something that you love not just you don't harm them
• 43:58
  because they're a kadosh person and a kadosh Jew is a complete
• 44:03
  Jew is a person that becomes so we start from bed we move all
• 44:07
  the way over and then all the way to come OK first what's the
• 44:10
  process right something's.
