- 0:00Certain theme that I want to pull out there.
- 0:04He is a certain theme that is I think it should be significant
- 0:10today and somewhat hard to apply and that is as follows.
- 0:14First of all, the Pran Shah opens up the book of Aikra,
- 0:18which is the book of Corbarnot. Corbarnot all practices
- 0:24happening in the Michigan which is serving sacrifices countless
- 0:2710's and hundreds and thousands of sacrifices.
- 0:30Part 1 all representing different things the Jewish
- 0:33people as a whole, each individual for sins as gifts, as
- 0:37thank yous, ultimate forms of sacrifices and there are
- 0:40sacrifices for even appropriate thoughts.
- 0:45A sacrifice And there are sacrifices as we have the animal
- 0:50flower, animal, bird flower sacrifice many different
- 0:55options, all different things on the mend.
- 0:57That's our Mishkan that's opera show how we get started how much
- 1:01of the fire shot talks about these topics but has it open up
- 1:05First of all opens up with the classic little olive we spoke
- 1:07about tonight, but you can't speak some what should have been
- 1:13talks to him from the oil and what's the little olive that you
- 1:16could could really be rid of a car without the olive.
- 1:19So the rabbi's dollars balance and he says that we should have
- 1:22been and his humility did not want it Olive in the pasuk.
- 1:27Why? Because you read without that
- 1:29letter and the pasuk reads Hashem just hair care appear to
- 1:33Moshe not a prepared prophecy, not a special prophecy hair
- 1:36care. Moshe wanted it to seem like his
- 1:40prophecy is not impressive. He wanted to seem like
- 1:45unassuming and not a big deal. My level of prophecy is no
- 1:48better than belobs. All right, That's what he
- 1:50wanted. How we doing Joe?
- 1:54No. OK looks like you might got the
- 1:58doctor walks in. I'm sorry John.
- 2:01There's no idea John. OK so anyhow So what should I
- 2:08want there? No.
- 2:10So because of that we don't want that olive to be taken off
- 2:12Because of that he he Sherman says no, you have to put olive.
- 2:17It's really if I cry did appear to you I didn't buy you.
- 2:19It's not a sketch prophecy. It's out of the line level
- 2:22prophecy. It's a real 1.
- 2:23So motion instead has the compromise smalls.
- 2:27So you look at it plainly. You see why you can't like put
- 2:29up not the great prophecy. They look at it deeply.
- 2:32You realize it's a full process. So now this is display of great
- 2:37humility. Unbelievable motion ever.
- 2:40I think there's an important theme there as well.
- 2:42And then what should have been a realizes and this is something
- 2:45you get to get used to. Don't stick it to the people,
- 2:49which means he's getting in a certain sense when it comes to
- 2:51power and it comes to cover it when it comes to prestige.
- 2:55Everything's going his way. Everything.
- 2:58He's the leader, he's the prophet.
- 3:00He's the mud person of Cali spinning the sea Matata.
- 3:04It set your attention. May we try to lay low a drop.
- 3:09In fact, this prophecy, many of the prophecies went to him and
- 3:12are on, but these are not. It was only him.
- 3:15How significant was the prophecy?
- 3:16But Susan, Oh my, Hashem sent the prophecy down with a booming
- 3:20voice, but only most you have on earth, which means you have to
- 3:26strong direct relationship with God where God could send in a
- 3:30booming voice and only you hear. And again, don't stick it to the
- 3:34people, don't stick it to auto. And I think this is unbelievably
- 3:37fundamental, important concept, which is not simply A cause of
- 3:41humility. Like we've been talking last
- 3:42couple of days. It's good business.
- 3:44And that is people like people are naturally inclined to like
- 3:50fathers to be impressed by them. You feel good, others impressed.
- 3:53Here's the plain reality. Or they are impressed, they're
- 3:56also jealous. It's that simple.
- 3:58And when they're not impressed, they're not jealous.
- 4:01I you know you can't avoid jealousy at all 'cause you
- 4:04can't. But there are many, many ways
- 4:06that you can talk in a way that spills into jealousy and you can
- 4:11talk in a way that doesn't. It's your choice.
- 4:15I'm more sure everyone was smart enough to realize there's no
- 4:18purpose in this. What am I gaming?
- 4:20Well, how does it help me that everyone's impressed by me?
- 4:22They're personally anyhow, I know what I'm doing anyhow.
- 4:25Why stick to that? I think that's a theme that you
- 4:27can put. That's not simple humility,
- 4:29That's small business. Sticking it to other people with
- 4:32what you have, what's going on, what were you doing or what just
- 4:35happened yesterday, All the different things.
- 4:37All you know is then the conversation that's they're
- 4:40saying to themselves, how come it's not true by me?
- 4:43How come it's by him or not by me?
- 4:45No purpose for that. All right, That's just a theme.
- 4:48Cytic by pressure. Now Hashem says these words,
- 4:55Adam. This is the second thing I want
- 4:57to analyze. It's very important.
- 5:01Adam Kiyaki McCain, korban lasha.
- 5:06When Adam, when a person bases korban.
- 5:11So he now says, why use the word Adam?
- 5:15Why don't use the word ish? Why don't use the word some
- 5:19other word? Adam is not a classic word.
- 5:21What does Adam referred to on the ground?
- 5:23Oh, that's Adam, Adam off on the ground.
- 5:26And that's a reference to the first man, Adam, Adam.
- 5:30Now, where in the world does Adam Adam have anything to do
- 5:34with the Torah's guidance regarding sacrificing and
- 5:39serving Adam? Where does it come in?
- 5:40Somebody she uses right away. Adam.
- 5:43Everything that was available to him was free.
- 5:46Nothing was stored. Don't use stolen goods as a
- 5:48Corbin. OK, That's the reference.
- 5:51That's the hint. Fine.
- 5:53I mean, I think it's kind of obvious.
- 5:54We need the bazook. I think it's kind of obvious.
- 5:57Hashem what is Corbin not is not going to be too interested from
- 6:00dirty stuff. Stolen Corbin doesn't sound like
- 6:04a good idea to turn around and serve Hashem.
- 6:05OK. It indicates you how people
- 6:07sometimes can be crazy and that is in the service of Hashem.
- 6:10They can be pure and they're dealing with other people.
- 6:12They can be nice. Fine.
- 6:14That's the indication. I would tell you to clear our
- 6:16cars shots. I think this is extremely
- 6:19significant. He's just like this.
- 6:21He's down there a great thing called fame and his service of
- 6:25our shipment is misfought and is listening to God.
- 6:29That great thing was look that Adam was the original.
- 6:34There was no one around at this time.
- 6:36He's only men alive right? So now when he wakes up in the
- 6:40morning. So I want to thank God.
- 6:41Who's telling him thank God? Did his parents told?
- 6:44Did his friends tell him? Did him wanted to copy another
- 6:47person? Tell him no, I don't mistaken.
- 6:50I sham because because I want him.
- 6:55It's the right thing. He's completely and totally
- 6:58original. And what happens with that is I
- 7:01need the original and whatever you do, you become genuine.
- 7:06You see, we're so full of the world.
- 7:08That's a copycat mentality. Copy cat mentality pushes people
- 7:11along shore when it comes to the good it does, but it lacks the
- 7:15meaning, it lacks the purity, it lacks the full sense of why I'm
- 7:20doing something. If you have in yourself some
- 7:24degree of genuine, whatever you do in your life, you're praying,
- 7:29you're learning, your has said your kind words.
- 7:32Whatever you do, it is a degree of genuine inside.
- 7:36It's so much stronger and so much more effective.
- 7:39So it's saying like this as we open up the Book of Service of
- 7:44Asia, Harsha Baika, say, Baika, recognize you got to be like a
- 7:50dumb. You need to be genuine.
- 7:52The original man you have to be when you're serving Harsha,
- 7:55whatever you're doing, you're praying and the prayer was
- 7:58written to you by Rabbi's thousand years ago.
- 8:00And he's saying these accent if he loves your parents and
- 8:02grandparents and great grandparents and everyone around
- 8:05you in the room say it's still you should have your own slant
- 8:08to your prayer. You're learning and it's what I
- 8:11was written thousands years ago. So is the game Mana given
- 8:16thousands? You've been thinking to
- 8:17yourself, whatever I learned, whatever idea I have, someone
- 8:20came before me. No, not true.
- 8:22Recognize is an area for you to be genuine as an area for you to
- 8:27be an original. You're doing hissing and he says
- 8:30something. So many guys are taking charity
- 8:32right? I I dealt with yesterday alone
- 8:35conversations about different charities and they were coming
- 8:39from different areas. Some machine has some serious
- 8:41and different things or we're going to Pesach.
- 8:43And I think to myself, you know, it's unbelievable the avenues,
- 8:47how many people are giving money, how many people it's
- 8:49unbelievable. But it's also part of me thinks
- 8:51myself maybe that guy won't give as much because I think I does
- 8:54anyway. And all doing it, it became
- 8:57invoke the people to give charity to help other people for
- 9:00Pesach. So maybe one guy will say I'm
- 9:02not going to do it anymore about does it.
- 9:03No, you know your slant. You, you adjust your people,
- 9:07your community with your way, with your privacy.
- 9:11That's your original. And every single SPA you do can
- 9:15be done in original form. All right, sitting on the
- 9:17shoulders of Giants legacy further that's.
- 9:20It's the opposite of this. Then the science says the
- 9:23opposite of this. It is true.
- 9:25We have the quality that we have.
- 9:26People came before us, true, and we have that strength.
- 9:30But the element that you bring to the table, nobody else can
- 9:34bring. It's always think that any area
- 9:36of life as a father, as a husband, as a prayer, as a
- 9:40learner, as a member of the community, there is literally
- 9:42nobody else out there and has your slant, has your mold, has
- 9:47your style done. Be original, Be yourself, doom
- 9:52and sort and do good things in your own sort of way.
- 9:57Don't think to yourself how is so and so doing it.
- 9:59I want to copy them. Sure, I want to be inspired by
- 10:01them, but I still want to be myself.
- 10:03That's the same five. Yeah, it's, you know, it's, it's
- 10:09like a test. Well, in this world today, for
- 10:12sure. Yeah, it's very much it's it's
- 10:16it's a challenge because people want to do.
- 10:19But for sure they get they get inspired by other people, which
- 10:23is great. But then they copy.
- 10:25Copy is nice, but it doesn't have the same meaning as doing a
- 10:29real he brings over here say copy or emulate.
- 10:33Emulate to better what it is. So you should emulate, but at
- 10:36the same time you shouldn't lose your personality.
- 10:39If you see a guy that changes a religion and as he lose his
- 10:43personality, you should be disappointed if you see him in
- 10:48his new level with the same sense of humor.
- 10:51Also that guy is using his gifts for good.
- 10:56But you know how people change and then they change the
- 10:58character? No good.
- 11:00Keep your qualities, keep your strengths.
- 11:02Just use it a new way. Every one of us has a very exact
- 11:06bolt. And you want to apply that to
- 11:08human source and apply the conversations and apply it to
- 11:11your life. And you should feel the
- 11:12confidence in everything you're doing that I am unique and I am
- 11:17an original and I want you to replace me.
- 11:19And that should get you to be more involved in the areas
- 11:21you're involved. He's like this, he said after
- 11:25Adam came, his two sons. All right, listen to this.
- 11:34Let me see the rooms there. Queer Cara says Cayenne heaven.
- 11:41Cayenne killed heaven, right? Cayenne brought the weak.
- 11:45Cayenne better brought the better Corpa.
- 11:47All right. Cayenne brought the weak 1.
- 11:50Heather brought the straw one. Kyle was jealous because he was
- 11:53accepted, so he killed. This is the corporal.
- 11:55The first he's you know what the problem with the whoops.
- 11:58Both of them are issued. Cayenne didn't bring a good
- 12:01corporate all together. He's brought only green heavy
- 12:06for the better one, but he was built on a copycat.
- 12:08So you have the two of them and neither one has a good strength,
- 12:12and that's both of them weaker than Adam.
- 12:14Adam was original. Original.
- 12:17He's only got on the planet. See him, whatever he did was
- 12:20completely genuine and real. These men, one guy did a weak
- 12:24job, one guy did a copycat job. Neither of them are the type
- 12:28that you want to be. All right, there's the thing.
- 12:31And now when it comes to Cobarot, you have words like
- 12:34Adam Nerfish. When your soul brings it, it
- 12:38means the more genuine you are, the more real you are, the more
- 12:43your service will be effective and powerful.
- 12:46Anything you do in life, if you do it because you're told to,
- 12:49it's there, but it's weak. But if you do it because you
- 12:51want to, if you do it because you like, if you did because you
- 12:54hold of it, it's so much stronger and so much more
- 12:57effective on you and the people around you.
- 12:58That is the definition of being an Adam, to be the original, to
- 13:03be genuine, what you do. All right, so I'll throw in
- 13:05there two other points and we'll stop.
- 13:09Does this pilot I end up talking about like all the different
- 13:12laws of like giving and pub? It's strictly Tracy Korbarot and
- 13:17kosher. That's a korbarot korbarot.
- 13:21So they're not really to the kind of much now.
- 13:24So at the end we are on the panel show.
- 13:27It's also the loss of a Korbarot flower Korbar flower combiners
- 13:31requirement. And that is you say you didn't
- 13:34get on it. Quijo soul, behold the lash.
- 13:44No yeast and no honey. You can't be scared behind this
- 13:49point. You know the you know the by
- 13:51thought. You say it every day.
- 13:53What does it say? What's the words again?
- 13:55If if you would put yeast, honey, if you would put honey,
- 14:01it's it's a sin, but it says if you do it, and I've done a whole
- 14:06lot more, no one would be able to handle how good the smell
- 14:11will be. So Qurban could have been turned
- 14:15into the greatest smelling sacrifice ever.
- 14:19Could you tell a second if you put honey?
- 14:20If you would put we here I was she knows it to Montana be Yeah
- 14:46if you would just put a drop of honey and.
- 15:07How unbelievably overpowering and oppressive the smell is.
- 15:09It'll be so good. So how are we doing?
- 15:13How's it help? You know that that.
- 15:14That means good. Smell versus bad smell, they
- 15:16say. Good point.
- 15:18Why don't we mix in? Don't eat it.
- 15:30Yeast, we don't do it. That's the right time.
- 15:35What's the message? ABC Harris, I believe you.
- 15:40It's gas. What's the what's the message?
- 15:43It goes along on my bumper and I fell.
- 15:45Oh, and yeah. What's the message?
- 15:46The message is if honey would be awesome, why not?
- 15:50Edit. So you said one on space and
- 15:52what's in it Tell you another one.
- 15:54Yeast makes the thing rise. Yeast is a sketch.
- 15:58Yeast is fabricated rising. It's not rising from within.
- 16:02It's not rising with the original ingredients.
- 16:04You're putting something in there that makes it rise.
- 16:06That's why you commence. That's the whole thing.
- 16:08So sketch, keep it out, honey, add sweetness.
- 16:13We don't need an outside component to add sweetness to
- 16:15your commandment. How you know we need.
- 16:17We need the sweetness to come from within.
- 16:19If you're a sketch, if you're a copycat, if you're trying to be
- 16:21like someone else, if you try to impress other people, then it's
- 16:25sweetness. Breads fake.
- 16:27It's an outside. Now let me ask you a question
- 16:29for a last point. Why am I being so hard of being
- 16:34a copycat? It's a copycat for good.
- 16:36What's so bad? We have something called cannot
- 16:39so free. We should be jealous other
- 16:40people to do good. Here's the problem.
- 16:43The problem with being copycat for good is because let's just
- 16:46say I'm gonna take they weren't doing something good and it'd be
- 16:50copycat for that too. If you're only being guided by
- 16:54the ways of other people by trying to be like that and
- 16:57you're running the risk of following their lead.
- 17:00I can't tell how many people I know started doing things for
- 17:03the good, and then they were just copying other people, like
- 17:06other people. And in there there was a layer
- 17:07of not good. There's a layer of loud, a layer
- 17:10of public, a layer of whatever. It is not so appropriate.
- 17:12And they didn't know the difference.
- 17:14I'd be like him. I don't know.
- 17:15You need to be developed from within.
- 17:19You need to be an original. You need to be shown, you need
- 17:22to be genuine. If you're real, you can't try to
- 17:26go and say you see that person, let me just follow him.
- 17:31If he's at Saudi, OK, fine. If he's a person, you're going
- 17:33to be like, that's the risk. That's the problem.
- 17:36So what do we say to Corpus? No corbat, I doubt.
- 17:40Be an original. Don't be like kind of heaven.
- 17:44And then we say no honey and no and no yeast.
- 17:47What do we allow for a corbat? What's the one ingredient that's
- 17:50mandatory if every single corbat?
- 17:54No, that's what that's a flower corbat and we call it ingredient
- 17:58or not not damaged salt. Salt.
- 18:01Salt was added to every karma and we told our pastor said is a
- 18:06beat to show me the treaty with salt got made an ingredient with
- 18:09salt. They had to put salt in every
- 18:11karma no matter what salt got a little shafted by creation of
- 18:14the world. So so it was all diminished when
- 18:17the sham separated waters and got made a deal with the salt.
- 18:20Don't worry, you'll be back on the shark.
- 18:22You'll be involved every karma. All right, great.
- 18:25So he put salt, breathe curtash and made a tree with salt Al
- 18:28Pasha. What significance is salt?
- 18:31What does salt do? Salt does not air taste.
- 18:35Salt does not sweetener. Salt does not sweeten low.
- 18:38It's not a sketch. It's like yeast.
- 18:41It brings out the taste of the thing itself.
- 18:43So you have something, a person being a Korbar.
- 18:46When he adds salt, he's representing his saying my
- 18:48service, my mitzvah, as is the way I do it.
- 18:52If I do it strong, if I do it confident, if I do it with
- 18:56covenant, if I do it realizing that I have a connection to a
- 18:59shun, if I do it real, then it'll be sweet, it'll be
- 19:03tasteful, it'll be good, and it'll be the strongest, most
- 19:06effective Corvo. So we need genuine, and we live
- 19:09in a world that is full of sketch.
- 19:12We don't in the bad world for sure, but even in the good
- 19:14world, you want to be genuine. You want to raise your kids to
- 19:18be genuine. You want to have your own mind.
- 19:21I'm doing something because I want to.
- 19:22You want to get to a level. In fact, an outpatia caravana
- 19:26intention is one of the main keys.
- 19:29Your intention when you're being a Qurvat.
- 19:31If you have the wrong intention for a Qurvatis as affected,
- 19:33what's your mindset? What's behind the scenes?
- 19:36What are you thinking? And that's the exact same idea
- 19:39as being genuine. And now people are on the risk.
- 19:42And I told you a million times, people are on the risk of being
- 19:45copycat. But you know what, It's not much
- 19:48weaker. Is that less effective?
- 19:51If you are, whatever you do in your prayer, Tashem, you stand
- 19:54and pray. Tashem, it's me and you, we're
- 19:56alone here. And you talk to him because you
- 19:58have a connection, real. And when you learn, I have a
- 20:02classic example. They ask oftentimes about
- 20:04learning boys. Are they good learners?
- 20:07Do they learn a lot? They want you.
- 20:09If you're going to marry off your daughter to a learning guy
- 20:12and you're going to support them, you don't know if they
- 20:15really learned or are they drinking coffee?
- 20:17There's always a question, right?
- 20:20You don't want the coffee room guys, You don't want the guys
- 20:22outside. It's not for my daughter, right?
- 20:24But I always say you want a guy to be strong in an area if he's
- 20:28working, working, if he's learning, learning.
- 20:30What's my test, my test, He's a good test.
- 20:33Does he learn? Even learning alone is not a
- 20:35good thing. But does he learn in private?
- 20:39Which means is he only learning in the publicity where
- 20:43everybody's around? All right?
- 20:45Does he do something in prime? It's same thing at right White
- 20:48because if you learn the public, even though it's tornado, which
- 20:51is great, a part of him thinks he's seeing me.
- 20:53They're watching me. They're pressed by me on a big
- 20:55deal. We get a better date.
- 20:58No, he learns in private. Nobody knows.
- 21:01He sits there in his office, his house and his beast writes
- 21:04votes. That's genuine, right?
- 21:06Say with charry, sure. It's also gives a lot of charity
- 21:09be earns a lot of free benefits to charry.
- 21:11You become a substantial part of the community.
- 21:14You are given 10 times the coverage of a non charity guy.
- 21:18If you do a wreck, but you know what the test is.
- 21:20Does he have a part of it? Then we'll start to purchase him
- 21:23and nobody knows the guy's name and name is never going to be
- 21:26public at all. And he gives that person yeah,
- 21:29there is a proof of genuine the same way to feel out.
- 21:34Do you pray to Hashem in private or you have a big deal you're
- 21:37going into if you do your general relationship.
- 21:40The same is true as a caring person is getting really sticky.
- 21:44There are many people out there, they run the risk of being
- 21:48Balochistan. That means they can fix
- 21:51marriages, they can raise children for other people, they
- 21:54can get deeply involved, other people's families and yet they
- 21:58have this challenge and I know this because I dealt with the
- 22:00first hand. They have the challenge, their
- 22:03own marriage and their own children.
- 22:05They have no patience. You have patience for that guy's
- 22:09family for hours and you have patience with your own children.
- 22:14Come on, why you bothering me? Why you take my time?
- 22:15I'm telling you this is reality. I dealt with the person.
- 22:17It's a very true idea. It's a what is it going to
- 22:20invite? It's very kind.
- 22:21That's the most common thing probably there is.
- 22:24You're some friends, they say, in case you should let your own
- 22:26kid. You should be an obligation to.
- 22:28No, but you're supposed to get a fire a key shot.
- 22:30Because you can't, because you can't.
- 22:31This one probably back, but this theme is this theme is it's what
- 22:36is a shot is how do you explain a guy or is how do you explain a
- 22:39guy giving hours on the phone to so and so who's dealing with the
- 22:44silliest, smallest problems and your advocate therapist and an
- 22:47advisor and a helper and you're gonna have help and you do the
- 22:50whole bit for him. Then the guy comes home.
- 22:53His wife becomes an annoying comment.
- 22:56She's like, can you do anything? Can you help me put the books on
- 22:58top of the top shelf? Can you can you help clean the
- 23:00thing? You're like, come on.
- 23:01Because he's getting recognition from that side.
- 23:04That's it. It's not real.
- 23:05He doesn't know that He thinks that's valuable.
- 23:09And this is heck yeah. But they say has his thoughts at
- 23:12home. I hate that line personally,
- 23:14because a lot of people use it the wrong way.
- 23:16Has it starts at home does not mean you should be cheap to the
- 23:19community because you has it starts at home.
- 23:21What it means is be a real person.
- 23:25Don't say yourself every begins at home charity.
- 23:27Yeah, family for local family, but be real.
- 23:30Don't be an advisor, but you can't we can't handle our kids
- 23:35can't have the whole family. This is the theme and a person
- 23:39has to become a life in a very sketched world, very original
- 23:43takes work takes a lot of work and it might not happen
- 23:47overnight, but you recognize the fact that your relationship you
- 23:50and God to you and your wife. It's you and your children and
- 23:53nobody else can help you raise your children and the accolades
- 23:57you going to get out there will do 0 for your children.
- 24:00In fact, they'll hurt very often many people out there that are
- 24:04public people. I can't tell you at risk as
- 24:06endless many people are public people and they chose to suffer
- 24:10and then there are many people are public people and the
- 24:12children thrive. The difference is this.
- 24:15If you're a genuine person, do you act out there, it will
- 24:18reflect in your home as well. If you a person and endures
- 24:22publicity, enjoys the accolades, enjoys a rush, then I hope it'll
- 24:27be empty. And so Adam be a person who's an
- 24:31original be a person who's genuinely toenail oil.
- 24:36Sorry, don't add honey. Don't add yeast.
- 24:38Add salt. Bring out the flavor of your
- 24:41qurban, Bring out the flavor of your service, and that becomes
- 24:44the best. That's the idea.
- 24:45All right, start with that. You got it.
