- 0:01It's Friday. His about Turf of the cedra up
- 0:04vyra. The beginning of the said, Rush
- 0:07em set summer shrub. A no he says, very diabolical.
- 0:10Marsha God, spoke too much fear, my love and me Hashem.
- 0:13I am Jean. So I peered out from his fuckin
- 0:17yaakov with another name but Kel Shak.
- 0:20I the name that this that symbolizes God, saying stop to
- 0:23the creation process. Barry is bald as limitations but
- 0:28or Shmi Hashem. The name of for that's a name of
- 0:31a, send the tetragrammaton. I did not reveal to them, you
- 0:36see. It doesn't matter how righteous
- 0:37you are. I love to give levels, you've
- 0:41achieved as individuals. We are always going to be more
- 0:45limited than when we identify with the community that
- 0:50Community is a mistrial. Talking about Redemption, the
- 0:55process to Redemption that he where we're going to reach
- 0:58Redemption. If we understand that, we've got
- 1:00a national mandate that we're not individuals know all about
- 1:03the, you your spirituality, your Olam Haba, or you're this,
- 1:07you're that all the mistakes that you, as an individual make
- 1:11and how you feel. We have to understand that we
- 1:14are a nation and that we have a, we have a goal and a national
- 1:18purpose to be God's people to spread knowledge of God, around
- 1:21the whole world. So, how does this?
- 1:23Immigration change things. Well, the you'd behave of the
- 1:27hey, the tetragrammaton. The for last name of God, is the
- 1:29contraction of higher over. The year was is always will be.
- 1:34So essentially us Jews. Pray to the was the is the
- 1:36always will be or in a similar sense.
- 1:39We are praying to the Eternal one.
- 1:44Infinite one. No borders, No Boundaries, no,
- 1:48nothing just Limitless. Now we say that we are God's
- 1:53people. What does that mean?
- 1:55What does that relationships? And the same way that I Shem is
- 1:58eternal for the Jewish people are Eternal of despite the best
- 2:01efforts of our enemies throughout history by Hashem.
- 2:05They simply have not succeeded in their Wicked Ways to
- 2:07annihilate the Jewish people. Why?
- 2:10Because just like, you can't get rid of God because that would be
- 2:14impossible. So, the nation of God can also
- 2:16not be gotten rid of that nation of God has a name for Hashem,
- 2:20the your day. Hey, the valve day, the
- 2:21tetragrammaton, the Fallen impression, but was that is the
- 2:24always will be eternity, Eternal nature.
- 2:29We have to relate to our chambers, that we have to relate
- 2:31to ourselves as that. This expression that come the
- 2:36beginning of the love, this week's addres, the ones we test
- 2:39four times on stayed on it, but remember they're really five
- 2:41Expressions. The fifth one you don't talk
- 2:43about. It's not part of The Narrative
- 2:46of say that whenever we didn't get to Israel and say that we
- 2:49get free from slavery, think of there's those expressions Hashem
- 2:53promises the Jewish people. Like a tamale of nasal so much
- 2:59so you can tell the Jews, I am the Eternal one, the you're the
- 3:02head of of the hey and you guys are Eternal to I will take you
- 3:06out of these troubles. I was.
- 3:07So I'll save you from that. Some of the slavery, I'll redeem
- 3:11you with outstretched arm and with wonderful different
- 3:14wonders. And the law cafeterias and Lila
- 3:18on, you will be my nation. Then there are enemies defined
- 3:21us as a nation. In Egypt, Pharaoh was the one
- 3:24who said, hey I'm Bonita is the nation of Israel.
- 3:26It's more numerous than we are and starts coming out with a
- 3:29whole lot of cockamamie stories. How are the enemy with a fifth
- 3:32column? We're going to destroy Egypt but
- 3:33our enemies defined us. We had if we had a national
- 3:37identity that came those external to ourselves beginning
- 3:40of the surgery. Last week, we were the family of
- 3:43yaakov somehow Minami, magically emerge on the world stage.
- 3:46See it as a nation but we didn't take control of that
- 3:49understanding we were given that title as a as a pejorative term.
- 3:54It's a way of identifying us so that they can harm us this week,
- 3:58said rates, positive. Hashem's, taking us to be his
- 4:01people. And I will be your God and then
- 4:08you will know that I am Hashem throughout the land of Egypt.
- 4:11And then finally, they they see us come, I will bring you, it
- 4:15will bring like a bride going to Hooper romance love.
- 4:20Togetherness. I'll give them more Russia,
- 4:24which is based on just the word. No, rustler engage, we're all
- 4:27together. It's this our inheritance.
- 4:29This is our national destiny. The only way we're going to
- 4:34Merit Redemption on a national level is.
- 4:38If we understand who we are, you can't redeem someone that
- 4:41doesn't know who they are because they won't understand.
- 4:43What good will the process that living we have to see ourselves
- 4:46as a nation. Not in a pejorative sense, not
- 4:49in a critical sense, but in a positive way, we are God's
- 4:52people God's Eternal nature. Is what we reflect through
- 4:57Jewish existence in way to do that, is by recognizing that
- 5:02knowing that we are God's people.
- 5:03The national mandate to teach the world.
- 5:05About Tasha have a good day and a good house.
