00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:00.479
Here we are.

00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:00.959
Live.

00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:01.520
Actually.

00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:04.080
Okay, this week's Harsha is Harsha's.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:12.640
But it also is more of Aramaic because I have to like a bond that means a connection.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.880
Because the mitzvah says, okay, they bind us.

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:22.320
So I'd like to focus in chapter six, verse 18.

00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:23.120
Here we go.

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:29.839
The Posak says, Daber Allah Ram to speak to Aaron Velbonov and to his children, Lemar, saying, Zais Taira Sachatas.

00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.799
This is the law of the sin offering.

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:46.560
In the place, in the very place where the carbon oila was slaughtered, slaughter the carbon chatas, Lefni Hashem, it should be before Hashem.

00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.759
Kadesh Kadashim He, it's holy of holies.

00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:57.200
It's one of the most perplexing sukkim in all of the Taira, and it has a glaring question.

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.880
The carbon oila was brought for two basic reasons.

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.560
There might be more, but carbonos are complicated.

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:13.439
But carbon oila was brought if somebody had hirin thoughts of a sin, so you would bring a carbon oila.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:20.879
Alternatively, if somebody wanted to just bring a gift, a doron, you just want to bring a gift asham, you'd bring a carbon olah.

00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.519
The difference between carbon oila and other carbanos is that oila means it goes up.

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.439
It's called a burnt offering.

00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.400
Not it almost has a negative notation, but it's not.

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.599
It's one of the more positive.

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.760
Usually part of the carbanos, the kaihanim, or even the people that people bring it get to partake, right?

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.439
They get to eat and partake.

00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.680
They got a rib steak or whatever it is.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.200
But the carbon oilo is different.

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:46.079
It's the burnt offering.

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.120
It's all to God.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.640
The whole thing was burnt.

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:51.840
The carbon oilo.

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.599
The carbon oilo is a completely up to Hashem.

00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:56.560
Correct.

00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.359
Say again?

00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.159
Posak six chapters.

00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:00.560
Sorry.

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:01.599
Chapter 618.

00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:02.560
618.

00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.040
Sorry, six.

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:15.360
So the glaring question is that in contrast to the oilo, which is brought as a gift, you want to come closer to Hashem, and it's completely it's cool.

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.280
Hashem, the carbon chatas was brought because of an actionable aver that you did, something you did wrong.

00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.199
So it's ironic that it's in the brought in the very same place.

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:31.919
The Tara tells us, Ibim Kaim, in the very place where the Ulah was slaughtered, that's where you're going to bring the Karbon Khatas.

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.520
It requires tremendous amount of Hesber.

00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:41.280
And the Tarah is saying that place, that's Lefnaya Hashem, it's before Hashem, Khidush Kadoshem, it's Holy of Holies.

00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.360
I would think to separate the two, right?

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:48.560
You have you have the good and you have the ugly, but you don't necessarily have them in the same spot.

00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:58.719
Parenthetically, I will point out that also at the beginning of our parsha, where we talk about the carbon tummit, which a lot of people think was the first service of the day, which it really wasn't, right?

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.479
The carbon tammid was the second.

00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.599
The first service of the day was Trumasadeshan, removing the yesterday's ashes.

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.120
And what's interesting, right?

00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:11.840
We often refer to the big apple as New York, but really the big apple was in the Mishkan.

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.639
On top of the altar, there was a big, uh, it's called the Tapuach, right?

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:22.879
It was this big mound, the big, hence the big apple, and that was the center of the of the altar.

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.599
The center of the altar was this big mound of the ashes of the negative stuff, right?

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:28.319
From yesterday.

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.759
It was the burnt, the the the actual the carbonos were brought like on the side, like on the corners of the of the altar, which is an interesting thing.

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:40.960
It's like the Torah's way of almost like a Surmeira Vasitov, beginning the day with this.

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.840
First, you sourme ra, and that becomes a focus.

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:50.719
Why that is okay, begs the question, and and you know to think about why why that is the center.

00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.240
I would think the carbono should be in the center of the of the altar.

00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:02.080
Be it as it may, that was the trumus Hadesh, and followed by the the carbon tummit, which about that ish tumit tukar almost beh, loi sikhbe.

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.759
Um not extinguish.

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:13.280
There's a word from the the magat of Meserich who says that loi sechbe, that we're supposed to extinguish the low.

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.399
Loi represents negative, negative matter represents the right negatives, and that is what we're supposed to abolish.

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:21.199
Through what?

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:34.480
Through the Tamit, through the the tmidias, through the the aish, the fire, the passion, the love that we have for our Kurdishbara, who through that, that's supposed to extinguish all of the lows that exist, all of the negative, all of the negative matter.

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:36.160
So that's an interesting take that he says.

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:37.839
But I want to get back to this pasuk.

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.839
And the very place that the theila was was slaughtered, that's the place where the khatas was slaughtered.

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:57.600
So I want to kind of build this up first with the Rubinu Bakhaya, and we're gonna keep going up and seeing how it gets more in not intense, but more um more like more depth into this very pasuk.

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.360
So Rubinu Bakhaya actually tells us why is it brought in the same place.

00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:08.399
So he says, Kidesholo yar gishu bane odam beze shamevi carbono imchet behir ibemaisa.

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:16.800
Because they're brought in the same place, somebody's bringing a carbon chatas and someone's bringing a carbon oila, that means to onlookers it all looks the same to them.

00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.160
So they're not gonna know, oh, that person's bringing a car, right?

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:27.199
If they were in different places, so people would know, oh, that guy must have done a sin, X, Y, or Z, and this is why he just did more, maybe a smaller sin.

00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.160
He just had a here, he had something, he he thought about something.

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:40.800
But the fact that they're brought in the same place shows that we're well, first of all, we're concerned with what people are looking with other with onlookers to an extent, but that way it'll all look the same to them.

00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.480
So that's Rabbaina Bahaya.

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.000
Then it's iv the in the Hamik Davar, he takes it up a notch.

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.720
Um, I don't know if he quotes the the Rabina Bahaya, but he uses the same idea.

00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:59.360
And he says that not only should it appear like you like not sorry, not only should it not be clear, okay, which one is it?

00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.600
Is he bringing the carbon khatas the illa?

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.480
But even more, he had nira sho'la.

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.199
People will now think that, oh, the guy's a good guy.

00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:08.800
He's really bringing a carbon eyelap.

00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:09.839
It's really a step up, right?

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.240
It's not shot that now we don't know what he's bringing.

00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.000
People are actually gonna think, oh, you know what?

00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:19.839
He's sorry, he's he's bringing a carbon in this place, he must be a good guy, he's he's he's he's bringing a carbon aila.

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.160
Because we don't want to be mafarsa in people's sins.

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.240
Okay, but now they're gonna go up a notch, okay?

00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.240
We had a re Benachia, then it's cleyakar takes it up even uh even more.

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:41.759
There's an opinion, like we said, sometimes people ailah is brought, somebody has a hearer, but sometimes illah is brought just because of darn, people someone's a good-hearted person, he wants to just donate to akarh, and that's why it's cool shan.

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.240
So, according to that opinion, right?

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:59.120
Nu kalamakya chhaiti achashinasa libba shhubit shuba, he says that the karban chatas, the man, the sinner, brings a carbon in the very same place as the guy who wants to bring a gift to Akharushbarakhu, because at the end of the day, there's not really much difference between the two.

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:04.639
Somebody who's bringing a bringing a gift to Hakarish Barakhu, very nice, his heart is inspired.

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.360
But guess what?

00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:11.439
Somebody who does a sin, and now the very fact that the mere fact that he's now bringing a karman chantas means what?

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.199
He's repenting, he's doing teshuva.

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.240
He had a hearer teshuvah that he wants to get closer to a karushbarhu.

00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.240
So, what exactly is the difference between the two?

00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.120
There's really, there's really not a difference between them.

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.959
Um so and the the Kleaker says an amazing thing.

00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:39.600
May us who from at that moment that the guy now, the sinner, who who who who turns his heart to do teshuvah, at that moment, his karban he becomes wanted, his karban becomes marutza, takarushba, khulufneashem, ke iluhikriva.

00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:46.079
And it's as if he actually brought a carbon aila, karbanos, which is greater than all other karbanos.

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:46.800
So we're going up.

00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.240
Rabbeina Bakhaya started off by saying that we're not sure.

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:51.360
We don't want, we don't know.

00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.720
Is the guy bringing ayla or a or a khatas?

00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.560
That's why it's brought in the same place that we don't know.

00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.839
But then it sif brought it up a notch and said, well, we now the other onlookers will assume he must be bringing aila.

00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:08.639
According to the the Kliyakar, no, no, it's not only like a matter of assumption, the very they're actually the same thing.

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.399
They're actually the same thing.

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.560
They're bringing that take it up a notch after the Kliakar.

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.360
So I found this in the safer called Maglai Sedek.

00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.160
This was from us from the Rev of Dej.

00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:25.920
I never I mean, I know that there's hundreds of Hasidish like places, but this is a new one that I never heard of.

00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.279
Dej D E J.

00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.560
Um so his name was Revmanachemendel of Panaf.

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.480
He lived in the 1800s.

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:44.559
So here's the safer Maglai Tsedek, and he explains that Laharira teaches us what he's going on this very question that we began this year with why is a karbichhatas in the same place as a karbin o'lah.

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.240
And he says it's coming to teach us a great thing.

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.240
He gadol malas balatchuvah.

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.320
Because a bal to shuva is so great.

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:59.919
And he, because he's coming back to Kurish Barakul, even though he sinned, he should realize that he's not actually distant from a Shep.

00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:04.240
And he proves this based on the Rambam, which is not a Chasidish source, it's the Rambam.

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:19.919
The Rambam and Hilchishuvah Park Zion, Halakhadalad, the Rambam says explicitly, somebody who's a Baal Teshuvah shouldn't think that he's now distant from the level of the righteous, but because of the sins that he did.

00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.759
Ainadane, it's not so.

00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.720
Allah ahuv, but rather he's beloved, he's loved.

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.600
The fact that he's coming back to Akurish Baruch, it's as if he didn't sin at all.

00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:43.600
Not only that, but his reward is so great, it's like he never, sorry, it's the his word is so great, it's like he was uh Kivish is yitro, and this is where the famous words, right?

00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:58.480
Shabamakhim, Shabali Tushuva Aimdin, the place where Bali Tushuva stand, ain't sadik and gimur and ychud and lamudbo, they cannot stand because as great and wonderful as it gumor is, they're not increasing in level, the in levels.

00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:10.960
And the the the Rivpaneth, that the Magli Tzedek, after bringing this Rambam, he to explain why the Karbon Khatas and the Uyla in the same place, he says, Bem Kaym shahti shakhita'ulah may be Hatzadikomor.

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:20.879
In the very place where the karb'a was brought by a tzadik gamor, kemo kein hashakhi rachatas in that same place the sinner brings his offering.

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.679
That's the offering of the Baal Teshuva, and it's Nisgaba.

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:37.120
So it's an amazing thing that we we uh we see from this pasuk that not only are we okay, not only are we concerned, oh, it's maybe assuming, oh, that he's really an oa guy, not a sinner.

00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:37.919
No, no, no.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.039
This guy who's bringing a khatas, it's like he's bringing an oila.

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:51.200
It's it's it's almost like the same thing because and in in a in a way, in a certain way, it's better because Bemakim Shabbali to Shuvaimdin, the tzadikim Gemorin, aren't able to stand there.

00:10:51.360 --> 00:11:00.159
Um, so it's an amazing thing, you know, as it relates to this week in particular, because the right, this week is Shabbat Sagadoh.

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:07.360
And what happens is is that the end is when we were most submerged, right?

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:16.000
It was what Hazal tells us that if we were there for one more second, a filu rega achas, then we would have stayed, we would have, we would still be there today.

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.559
Which means we were not just on the 49th level of Tumma, we were on like 49.9.

00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.519
We were so deep, deep down.

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:28.639
Yet it was from that place when we were down in the dumps, that's when we left.

00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.159
We didn't leave when we were on the 49th level of Kedusha.

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:36.240
We left Davka when we were on the 49th level of Tumma.

00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:37.759
Because it was in that place.

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:44.000
Again, I'm trying to connect it to this idea, it was Bemakan, it was in the same place where the the khatas is.

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.639
That that's that can be that can be the ayah.

00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.639
That can be where you actually go up.

00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:58.399
Um, we find this idea in the safer Sitka Satzadak from Rivtsadak, and I just point to you just one line in three different chapters where he says a similar teaching.

00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:15.840
Um, in section 70, he says, the isai dovr shabboha and shaladam, in the very place in where a person has a deficiency, the osodav or val yadev, just through that very same place, humal asso, that it where that's where his advantage actually lies.

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:24.879
So it's the same khat, that's the same idea that where you a person thinks is his khatas, where his mistake is, that that could very well be his ayla.

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.080
That could where that could be his ticket to to go up.

00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:41.679
And a similar teaching in chapter 76, Vitzitka Satik, he says, Ba'es Kishloin Adam Yoda at the moment of a person's failure, a person knows what he needs to do to fix himself.

00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.440
He doesn't say this explicitly, but we know today there's no there's no Naviam.

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.159
People used to go, what what should I do for a living?

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.120
I don't know, who should I make different thick questions people ask?

00:12:51.279 --> 00:13:17.279
You'd go to a Navi, which again had it has its pros and cons, I guess, but what there's a certain that we can tap into in our lives, and that is a person wants to know where he can excel, you have to look at where you're deficient, where a person's failing and lacking is a sign from from Hakarish Baruch that he could be successful in that very thing.

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.399
So if a person, I mean, just this is like a a neutral, not a neutral, but like a just a classic example.

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:31.039
If a person's not a morning guy or not, you know, he's not a chakras guy, and he's consistently for five years, about 20 years, you know, comes late.

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:36.960
It's not that doesn't mean that this is uh like his sign-off that no, now he's not a good chakras guy.

00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.120
It's actually a sign, it's almost like a Navua that he actually can be the best chakras guy for himself.

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:43.519
Whatever.

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.399
He can he can actually tackle chakras like no other.

00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:54.320
So it's an amazing thing, or it's a way to view struggles to look at them as signs of where I can I can excel.

00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:03.519
Um, a similar teaching in chapter 181 of the Tsitka Setadik, he says, every person has a particular desire.

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.120
Uvaisai dovershem dasovittavasukuveris.

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:22.240
And this is a similar idea what we were just expressing, in the very place where a person's taiva is extremely strong, bedovers the atmo in this very place who cle mucha makabu birchashem, he can become a vessel to receive the blessings of a karishbarhu.

00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.159
Because in Yashu velhib, if he ends up doing teshuva, he returns.

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.600
He realizes that this desire is actually implanted in him from a Karish Barakhu.

00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.000
Then, he doesn't say this, I'm just adding this in.

00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:39.440
Then in that place where it was the khatas becomes the ayla.

00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.240
So we see this concept.

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:47.600
But it gets even deeper.

00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:55.039
So there's a teaching that many of us are familiar with that the tahis, sorry, the yuridah lutzari khaliyah, right?

00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.080
This concept that you readah for lutzariyah.

00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:00.399
We go down for the sake of then going up.

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:09.600
Rubinachmin has another teaching, similar teaching, but almost the opposite.

00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:14.799
He he actually says it like this He says, Yurida is the Taqhlis aliyah.

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.879
He doesn't say Yuridah Lutzarih Aliyah, Yeridah.

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.639
You don't go down to then get up.

00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.320
According to in Breslov Tara, it's Yuridah is the tahlis of the Aliyah.

00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.720
The Yerida is the Taklis of the Aliyah.

00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:29.279
What does that mean?

00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:38.320
So on a basic level, that means is that a person can have an aliyah, he can bring a carbon ayah, but the real test comes when he's facing a difficulty.

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:42.080
The real test comes when he's going through that struggle, when he did a sin.

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.480
What that's the that's now the real test.

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:52.240
Oh, the Baut Shuvah, he realizes, you know what, I did something wrong, and his heart channels within him, and he comes to bring a carbon khatas.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.360
That's the real ayla.

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:54.080
And guess what?

00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.240
He actually points out over here.

00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:05.279
Um, even though a person is struggling, he's in a urida, afa pika, me akar shashemis barhbat machaio, ashim is still giving him life.

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:14.000
Yachulis airi gamata, even now, in this present moment, that in the Yurida he can be aroused, he can have inspiration even now by doing teshuva.

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:37.200
The Loshuva Mim Komo, he uses that word, maqum, and he can return from this very place, ba'asher husham, where he is, and to be mahapih the ureda, la alia gadola, and to end up calling way up high, the hainu shiska, he can emerit to do teshuvah, and he says, teshuvah is the aspect of Yom Khepar, and he says through this a person will go up, and this is the aspect of Khadesh Kedashim.

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.759
So what's interesting is our Pasik actually said that.

00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:46.159
Our Pasik told us that the place where you slaughter the khilah is the place where you slaughter the khatas.

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.440
And then the Torah said, Lufneah Sham, Khaidesh Kadashimi.

00:16:49.919 --> 00:17:02.000
And it's a teaching for us because a person has to realize that this place where he's at, the Uredah, that's the tahisahali on a certain well, on a certain realm, and in that place can be the greatest aliyah.

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.559
In that place of Uredah can be the greatest aliyah.

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:14.559
Like, you know, using what the Tidkazat Sadik said, because you could channel those things that a person struggles with and realize through those I could actually realize what I could be, what I could be good at.

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:20.640
And but understanding that that place of being a Bali to Shuva, about shuvah, that's Qidash Kadashem.

00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.519
And also the key words is those two words, Lufne Hashem.

00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:28.720
A person who really who thinks that they're not Lufne Hashem, that they're not before Hashem.

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:33.200
So that type of person, he's not even gonna be willing to do to Shuvah because he doesn't even want me.

00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.039
But it's not true, like we saw in the Rambam.

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:42.720
No, no, no, a person, even if he sins, a person is ov, vinechmar, he's marutzah, he's wanted by Khadushbaru, he has to realize Lufne Hashem, right?

00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.680
Atemnitzim Hayom Kuchem, Lufne Hashem.

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:47.599
We're just talking about Rash Hashanah, right?

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.960
Hayom, it's rashanah.

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:56.880
But one of the ideas expressed, I believe, over there is that no matter what a person did the whole year, at the end of the day, you're standing here and you're Lufne Hashem, right?

00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:02.240
David Am Alakantilam says a phrase, um, the chathasi linegdi summit.

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:03.920
My sin is always opposite me.

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:08.480
But we know there's another pasag that says l'inegdi summit, shivisi hashem linegdi summit.

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.240
And those two ideas go hand in hand.

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.599
It's this paslag, right?

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.880
It's in the place of the khatas, that's the same place of the ayla.

00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:20.559
It's true, khatasi linegdi summit, but you can't forget about the first pasag of Shivisi Hashem Linegdi Summit.

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.519
That we're Hashem is always in front of me, we're always left near Hashem.

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:29.680
That Hakara is Khadishh Kadashem, because from that place a person can soar to tremendous places.

00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:36.000
And this is really Shabbos Hagadal, because um why is this Shabbos Hagadal?

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.920
It's interesting that what does the Tarah tell us in Shemos 12, right?

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:53.599
Yudbay Parjiz Bhai, Yudbay's Chafalih, it says, Moshe called to the elders, but Yom'ala and he said to them, Mishku Ukahu, draw forth Ukahu, and take him for yourselves.

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.200
Sign the sheep.

00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.400
On this, the medraj points out that Mushhu, where are you drawing it from?

00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:03.920
You're drawing it, meaning where are you taking?

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:05.759
Where are you taking it from?

00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.200
You're taking it from them, from the Mitsurayim.

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:14.000
This sign was their Elohim, it was their God that they idolized.

00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:17.279
And we're commanded, this was five days before, right?

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.400
This was Yud, right?

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:25.039
The 10th of Nisa, which is tomorrow, which sorry, but yeah, tomorrow night, which is Shabbosagodal.

00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.240
Shabbos Sagodal was five days before the redemption.

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:29.680
It was also, I think, the same day.

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:35.119
I don't know, it was a different time, but it was also the day of the slaughtering of the firstborn, I think.

00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:40.319
Um, but Bidasme was on that day where we were told to take their gods and slaughter.

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.799
What do you mean?

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.759
The Jews were in a frenzy.

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.480
How are we gonna do that?

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.200
It's their god.

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.039
But that was the miracle on that day.

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.079
That's why it's called Shabbos.

00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:58.160
This is the basic reason it's called Shabbasagadal, is because they it was this great miracle that took place that the the Gaim saw us slaughtering their Avaidazara for a mitzvah.

00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:03.039
We took their Avaidazar and now slaughtered it for a mitzvah, and they couldn't do anything about it.

00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:19.519
But there's this idea over here that you could take something that was uh a god of the abadizar in the most tumidika land in all of the world, the tza'im, but a yid can take that mushhu, kahulachem tsain, and through that vishachatu apasah.

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:29.200
Through that, you could take that negative thing, that seemingly thing, that seeming thing that's that's um impure, and you could now channel it and direct it to serve Akharish Barakhu.

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:30.160
And that's an amazing thing.

00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.119
That's one of the lessons of Shabbasah Gadol.

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.559
Um we see that lesson repeatedly in different areas.

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.799
Like Aesiv had more potential than Yaakov.

00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.240
Yeah, yeah, it comes up time and time and again.

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:42.559
Absolutely.

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.519
Yeah, in ashes.

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.160
I mean, it's which is similar to the spot where the ashes are.

00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:54.720
Yeah, same, sim, very similar idea.

00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:01.119
Um so uh just kind of to tie this all in, I I found the safer called Karan Yeshua.

00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:05.440
Um from Yoshua Ben Svialimelh Shapira.

00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:08.640
I think this is what this was one of the Blujarebas, I think.

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:10.880
I looked it up sometime this week, but I forgot.

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.559
But I think it's one of the Bluj Varebbas.

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:29.519
But he actually said on his piece on it's a savor called Karan Yeshua, and in the section Shabbos Hagadal, he gives a reason for why it's called Shabbos Gadol, and he quotes this chazal, but Makim Shabbale Teshuva, ain't sadikim gimurim ychalamod, and he brings that Shaivat Levi, we know, didn't sin.

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.759
They didn't, they didn't have any, they didn't partake, right?

00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:36.000
They didn't serve, they were learning, they were in gosh, or whatever they were, they were learning tairah, right?

00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.039
They didn't sin.

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:39.920
Um but what happens?

00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:48.720
Um the Klayusral, you know, but uh the in contrast to Shaivat Levi, who were the tzadikim, Gemurim, the Klayusral was Nechaz Biswah.

00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.200
We were caught in the thickets, we were in the Tumma of Mitsuraim.

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:54.160
And what happens?

00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.839
At this time, it says, take that of a desire that.

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.519
They had and uh and apply it now la mitzvah for a mitzvah.

00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:05.119
Vahinu meaning what?

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:11.519
Taking that Avadizar that we were involved in, because we were we were in the Tumma of the land, we were on the 49th level of Tumma.

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:19.119
So the idea was to take to become Bali Tishuva, to take that um sign and now apply it and slaughter it for a mitzvah.

00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:20.799
And what happens at that moment?

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:25.039
At that moment, right?

00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:33.599
Corresponding to this chazal that says, Bemakh Shabbali Tushuva Indin, the place where Bali Tshuvah stands, Tzadiqim Gamurim have they don't stand there, they can't touch that.

00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:55.680
And that's what exactly what happened on this day of Shabbat Sagadal is that Shaivat Levi, who are the Tzadikim Gemuram compared to us, we were actually through taking that vodizara and now serving it for Akharushbaraku, we actually became greater, that hence Shabbat Sahadal, because we became Gidoilim over the over the over the tzadikim.

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:07.839
And that's why it's called Shabisah Gadal, because we are on levels that are madregos giddoilos od Yosame Tzadikim and Thilasan.

00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:13.440
We became on higher levels, greater levels than even the tzadikim were at the start.

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:45.440
So this pasak uh that we began with that the place where you slaughter the khatas is the same place that you slaughter the Olah really touches at the core, at least according to this Karen Yeshua, the Bloja Rabbah, it touches at the core of what Shabbos Hagadal really is and where the name comes from, is that we have a ch of of a way, we have an opportunity, despite whatever um stuckness we were in the physical world and in certain things in our in our lives, we have the opportunity to flip that and to become even greater than the tzadikim gemurin.

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:46.559
It's an amazing thing.

00:23:46.799 --> 00:24:00.400
So that was the idea I wanted to share, and I thought it was amazing, just to hand off that Shabbasagadol, I I don't know Psukim Gemachtrias by heart, but I do use a platform that could show you what the Gemachria is.

00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:04.400
So I plugged in Shabbash Godol, and with this I'll end.

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:16.799
Shabbas Gadol is Gemachria 750, and apparently there's only one Pasuk in all of Tanakh with that Gamachria, and it's a Pasuk in Tehilim, chapter 33, verse 18.

00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:31.279
And the Pasuk says like this Hine Ayan Hashem Hashem, El Urev, the eyes of Hashem, the eye of Hashem is focused towards those who fear him, Lam Yachalim Lchasto, and those toward those who hope for his kindness.

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:32.400
So what's going on here?

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:38.160
You have the eye of Hashem looking at those who fear him, which also can mean Liraev is those who see him.

00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:42.000
So you have Hashem's eyes looking at us' eyes, eyes interlocked.

00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:42.559
What's that?

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:43.680
What does that represent?

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:57.039
So the Torah or the Alta Rebbe, Shneer Zaman of Liadi, I don't have the Hebrew here in front of me, I didn't have time to copy and paste it from Safariah into this, but he he talks about this as like a major love fest, right?

00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:15.680
The two people love, he talks about love birds, but he talks, right, that they the this the locking of eyes represents this this this rapture of love, this deep, this deep love that that what two people can have for each other, or birds, or in this case, Ain Hashem El Yurev, Hashem's eyes are towards us.

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.799
So what does that tell us?

00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.359
It tells us that we're Lefna Hashem, right?

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:23.279
Because if we're looking at that way, right, then we're not Lefnah Hashem.

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.400
Lefnah Hashem means that our eyes are ayon by ayan, right?

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:27.519
We're seeing eye to eye.

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.119
It's a relationship where I see you, I see you, and you see me.

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:44.960
I know, I I you know, and and I think maybe that could really sum up this Shabbas Gaddal represents this tremendous love that Hashem has for us, that no matter where you were, you were in the 49th level of Tumah, but that doesn't take it away.

00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.079
I still see you, and I hope that you have the ability to see me.
