• 0:02
  Also got a Pasha of course Pasha is quite short also.
• 0:09
  And you have that aspect this week and you have the Shiva
• 0:13
  Shiva aspect. 2 weeks is also a Viola Viola Moshe the bearded,
• 0:19
  the female look. Hopefully some Mushevan went.
• 0:23
  He walked so to speak, and he told me to sell the following
• 0:28
  words. Now why does it open up with the
• 0:30
  word? And he went, he said just his
• 0:32
  word, but he owed him. And he says the following.
• 0:35
  This is his last speech. This is my call that it keeps
• 0:38
  being his last someday he died today.
• 0:40
  I AM 120 years old today I no longer can go and come.
• 0:51
  Those two words go and come are very important.
• 0:53
  What they mean that shit in my life and God told me LO Tavares
• 0:58
  and not to cross the Jordan River, not to go with Israel.
• 1:06
  God will lead you. He will get rid of the nations
• 1:10
  of the world and allow you to inherit it.
• 1:14
  Your shoe and your shoe will be a leader like God said.
• 1:19
  And God will do to the nations of the world like he did to the
• 1:21
  previous ones which he already destroyed.
• 1:24
  And then he says his who will be Sioux strengthen yourself all to
• 1:29
  do. Don't be afraid volatile to him.
• 1:31
  Don't be nervous lawyer. He won't leave you.
• 1:37
  He won't to allow you to be weakened.
• 1:39
  Don't be nervous. I'm sure it's open.
• 1:41
  OK. And then there's a second step
• 1:43
  which is very important. But the first step is I AM 120
• 1:47
  years old today and he starts to do it by year one of year so.
• 1:55
  Is that why we say we should live to 120?
• 1:57
  Years ago, yes. Come on.
• 1:58
  Share better live. Let's say that.
• 1:59
  Yes, that's what I'm saying. We have a masooda and a person
• 2:02
  doesn't live longer than that. That's the idea.
• 2:04
  OK. Yeah.
• 2:08
  How do they explain where you live?
• 2:15
  OK so you just did me depend. Depends how you learn Well share
• 2:18
  better then says the words. I'm 120 years old today.
• 2:20
  What does it mean today. Today means that he was on the
• 2:25
  day he's birthday, which means he was dead dying.
• 2:28
  The day he died was day he's born.
• 2:30
  The guy says, said the Kim, that's all works.
• 2:32
  God helps him fill out the years, say the day they passed,
• 2:36
  the day they're born. Why is this significant thing?
• 2:38
  Why is it significant for a person's day of passing?
• 2:41
  The day he died, a day he's born, Who cares?
• 2:44
  He's born one day he dies another.
• 2:45
  Why does it make a difference? So the mindset is as an
• 2:49
  indication that he filled out his years.
• 2:51
  It's like he started over the year and he went all the way and
• 2:55
  he came back to the spot. He filled out his ear.
• 2:57
  It's a way of bringing out that point by saying that he passed
• 3:00
  that day he was born. And the idea is I'm going to
• 3:02
  share Banner, which I tell you lived a full life, the greatest
• 3:06
  extent of the word, lived a full life.
• 3:08
  So that's why we're saying the same day.
• 3:10
  Now he says the words I'm no longer able to go and come.
• 3:15
  No longer able to go and come could mean one or two things
• 3:17
  either. It means so we are she's like
• 3:20
  this. He didn't get weaker and the
• 3:25
  slightest any Rashi, I didn't get weaker.
• 3:31
  I just don't have the permission anymore by God.
• 3:34
  I'm guided by God. I don't have permission to do
• 3:37
  what I want to do anymore. Shoot, when I tell you God took
• 3:42
  away the rights and the leadership from me and gave it
• 3:48
  over to you so much. Everybody was saying really, I'm
• 3:52
  at full strength, but God told me to stop and that's why it's
• 3:56
  over. So you're trying to show that
• 3:58
  although it seems like it's been me all these years, really all
• 4:01
  God, and the moment God pulls it away is the moment I hang.
• 4:04
  I hang them up, I close up shop. That's when I'm more so lo how I
• 4:08
  cannot doesn't mean I'm physically and evil.
• 4:11
  It means I am. I no longer have permission the
• 4:13
  other way, which is also important about our head that's
• 4:17
  able of omis. I no longer have the ability to
• 4:21
  learn. A teacher with dwar Torre
• 4:25
  Milamer chinista MO me meno Misrata O may not have a man.
• 4:30
  His avenues of wisdom have been closed up.
• 4:34
  So up. So what she was saying.
• 4:36
  The moment a person's Airways of wisdom goes up as especially a
• 4:40
  person with Sheer Beno, it's like he doesn't exist.
• 4:42
  His life is over even while he's still physically fine, because
• 4:46
  he's no longer connected to that.
• 4:48
  So two points, either he does have the permission to go on
• 4:51
  without God or he doesn't have the reason to go on without.
• 4:59
  Both of these are saying that physically he's fine, physically
• 5:02
  he's able and maybe that's the reason why he used the word
• 5:05
  Viola or Sherman who walked. He went, he's fine.
• 5:09
  He went with full dose. So he went to make his speech.
• 5:11
  It wasn't like he was a dying man.
• 5:13
  He was a healthy man, but he was without the permission of God or
• 5:18
  without the purpose of God's meaning on this earth and he did
• 5:22
  what said it's time to hang it up and when on the day he was
• 5:26
  born the day he died, he was born because as we know it's an
• 5:29
  indication of a person living a full life.
• 5:32
  That's why she ever has put now he does look beautiful in this
• 5:35
  parishop. What he does he calls over to
• 5:39
  you Yeshua Lane call you sail in the eyes of all the Jewish
• 5:44
  people, which means he hands over the reins over the issue up
• 5:48
  in the we're not allowing anyone to question Yoshua and we're to
• 5:52
  debate Yoshua's validity, Yoshua's abilities cane
• 5:57
  abilities. He says these words Khazak
• 5:59
  fematsu you be strong kiata tavo ETA Hamas it because you will
• 6:05
  bring the people in. You will be the one to leave
• 6:11
  them in. He gave over the reins in front
• 6:14
  of all the people, which gave them much more confidence in the
• 6:18
  recipient. That's a motion to better do it.
• 6:20
  It's a sign of humility. It's a sign of something deeper
• 6:24
  than that. And that is when you're a
• 6:26
  leader, you're a leader right now.
• 6:30
  It's time. One might say that's the second
• 6:33
  you have to figure it out. That'll take over the way it
• 6:35
  does it. By giving it over to him in
• 6:38
  front of everyone. What you are doing with that
• 6:41
  humility is you're giving this person a leg sustainer.
• 6:46
  No one can question anything when the person taking over was
• 6:50
  handed over by the individual gave it over, you know, and I
• 6:53
  know we know a perfect example. And that was done by design,
• 6:57
  right? And what should have been who
• 6:58
  did the exact same thing. He did it on purpose.
• 7:00
  There was a great degree of humility.
• 7:02
  It requires that, but it's also sitting deeper and that is the
• 7:06
  leaders and always wonder what are they worried about?
• 7:09
  Are they worried about the constituents, the people or they
• 7:13
  worry about themselves and their reputation.
• 7:15
  If you're worried about the people fully, they're going to
• 7:18
  do it this way to worry about themselves or even in the back
• 7:21
  of their mind, they're thinking about somewhat my legacy.
• 7:25
  My couple admire this. They might do it the other way,
• 7:28
  which is, you know, end their life and then whatever happens,
• 7:32
  happens. But the reality is, you know, if
• 7:36
  a person, I was thinking about this, the presidents and
• 7:38
  presidents leave and the next guy takes over and tears up
• 7:42
  everything the first guy did. Here's a bomb.
• 7:44
  And that's where he hated Trump. The legacies are gone, the
• 7:47
  original legacies are gone, but if the guy taking over can carry
• 7:51
  it through, I can follow through.
• 7:53
  I can actually develop that first person's wish and bring it
• 7:57
  to fruition. That's that much stronger.
• 7:59
  Well, share about Yoshua, He was being humble, but he was being
• 8:04
  smart. Because if we shouldn't have
• 8:06
  been there would have not given Yoshua that sense of devoted
• 8:09
  confidence. If you have not in front of an
• 8:13
  equity sale displayed his humility to allow yours to take
• 8:17
  over or what happened? It would have been an anarchy,
• 8:21
  you know, show up and would have tried to take over and the
• 8:24
  people would have rose up against him.
• 8:26
  And then what about Israel? And so much share his own wish
• 8:29
  that would have happened. So it takes humility, sure, but
• 8:32
  it also takes wisdom, which means if I want to get my job
• 8:36
  done, I think you're humble enough to appoint someone while
• 8:41
  I'm still around, which is a very much a little bit, you
• 8:45
  know, you all witnesses for, for a rabbi or a leader to put
• 8:50
  someone in the stead while they're still here.
• 8:52
  It takes so much of an unbelievable strength and
• 8:57
  therefore humility to allow someone else to stand your stead
• 9:02
  while you're still functioning. Even if the birds not
• 9:04
  functioning so much, it still hurts.
• 9:05
  It's a little process, but it's Kadai it's worth because that
• 9:08
  person takes over with that vote of confidence without any sort
• 9:13
  of questions, right and Mosheba was doing so and it worked.
• 9:17
  I said that's how I now I shall tell you one thing on the theme
• 9:21
  of the Shiva a probably series tonight, and that is the zig
• 9:25
  amount that says that if a person does the Shiva, he takes
• 9:31
  down his sins, removes his sins. One statement says it turns his
• 9:37
  is it or not? He says that he did deliberately
• 9:39
  into sugar gut, which means no longer do we look at those sins
• 9:44
  that he did as if he did it on purpose.
• 9:46
  We'd rather look at it like he did it by accident.
• 9:49
  But you know, God softens of all those things and another thing
• 9:52
  that says these words. And when a person does the
• 9:55
  Shuva, it turns his sins into Zahiot, into merits.
• 10:03
  I could see diminishing the sin. I could even see wiping away the
• 10:06
  sin. OK, the Shiva is a powerful
• 10:07
  thing, wipes with a sin. How in the world is it possible
• 10:13
  to do to Shiva and turn your previous misdeeds to merits?
• 10:19
  How's it possible? So the goddess says, besides
• 10:22
  with the issue, he always says the contradiction that we just
• 10:24
  mentioned, one is talking about a president to Shiva, Mihira.
• 10:27
  He did to Shiva because he's afraid of what's going to
• 10:29
  happen. That one diminished the power of
• 10:32
  the sin and the other one is talking about how we did the
• 10:35
  Shiva from love, love about Hashem.
• 10:38
  That one wipe away the sink completely and it turns to a
• 10:41
  zehulitz. How do you explain it turning it
• 10:44
  to a merit the Arians trot. Yeah, that's a shot once you
• 10:51
  when you're going to hit your low, you know, it corrects your
• 10:55
  amazement to a better first good.
• 10:57
  So there's two ways of saying, I definitely saw that in this
• 10:59
  frame last night. Some say the reason the Shiva
• 11:02
  Mahava is creates as a hoot is because basically the person
• 11:08
  with their own love developed themselves.
• 11:11
  And we can see the contrast, it gets stronger and that's a great
• 11:15
  level of strength. And the same idea that we say
• 11:18
  that the Shiva, my God, like he said, I cover the Shiva brings
• 11:22
  the person closer than Sadiq because he literally manually
• 11:27
  built himself up. OK, it's a very good shot.
• 11:30
  I'll tell you another shot. The other shot is this.
• 11:33
  When a person does this, you vow out of love.
• 11:36
  What they are saying is his fellows.
• 11:38
  I used to wake up late every day, and now I decided to change
• 11:42
  my ways and go to Mignon. Do I like sleeping late?
• 11:46
  I do, but I like Hashem more, right?
• 11:50
  I used to eat whatever I wanted to eat, and now I committed to
• 11:55
  eating only kosher. Did I like going out wherever I
• 11:58
  want to not even thinking and being enough wherever it was in
• 12:01
  the airport, just picking anything up?
• 12:03
  I sure did, but I felt like I shot more.
• 12:07
  All right. I used to say whatever I wanted
• 12:09
  to say and I was thinking before I smoke, I just smoke, you know,
• 12:12
  people, I make a crowd and people would laugh and I was I
• 12:15
  was funny and I put people down in the process.
• 12:19
  I like that I was popular, but I love I shot more so that the
• 12:23
  Shuva is it the Shuvaana, the displays that you love God very
• 12:30
  much, Whereas it's not that you're saying, you know, you
• 12:34
  know the classic point, if you will buy in a mall, you ever go
• 12:38
  by a restaurant or the food court?
• 12:40
  Ever do it? Do you like the smell?
• 12:42
  You don't like the smell? No, some of the smells are
• 12:45
  discussed. No, but my place, you know my
• 12:48
  place, IHOP. I like the smell.
• 12:51
  I meant like smell or Cinnabon. I like the smell, I really do.
• 12:55
  I don't like the panda. Hey, the smell.
• 12:58
  I got it. OK, fine.
• 12:59
  But some of these places you like the smell.
• 13:01
  Are you allowed to like the smell?
• 13:03
  You allowed to love the smell. In fact, you know, I was
• 13:04
  supposed to say, oh, that's disgusting.
• 13:06
  He's supposed to say it smells good, but I want to do the right
• 13:10
  thing because I shouldn't, right?
• 13:12
  So that's really the Shiva Mehava, which means I love God
• 13:17
  more than that. That's why I think maybe the
• 13:20
  shot is as soon as the Maharshad now.
• 13:22
  So he turning his sins into Zahriot for that reason I was
• 13:26
  talking to how do you same idea. I could be one of the two.
• 13:32
  I like to you know, talk about people, but I not that I love
• 13:37
  people more because that's a different point.
• 13:39
  I love being a good Jew more right or I have an urge to get
• 13:43
  into a fight, but I know the beauty of Shalom and the eyes of
• 13:46
  God do that more true. All these examples.
• 13:51
  Same with honesty. I like money, but I like the
• 13:54
  fact or I like God, so I want to be honest.
• 13:58
  We all love this. There's so many examples where a
• 14:00
  person basically is either David's point, which is.
• 14:03
  One more cheer, and then you say yourself, you know that's not
• 14:05
  right. Right, right.
• 14:07
  So it doesn't mean you consider the other thing of you doesn't
• 14:11
  mean you you you regret it for sure, but doesn't mean you
• 14:13
  consider that first thing disgusting.
• 14:15
  You're tempted to do it if you consider you love ashen even
• 14:19
  more. So you're saying with a little
• 14:21
  Shabbat, same every.
