we're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold bag recorded with the shims never-ending assistance in remote Vermont patient mrs. RAL 5778 this week's partials partials Lucas and I would like to share with you a beautiful mattress could be that you are familiar with this mattress it's very interesting when we see it inside so there's an amazing death of course every single word of Cazalas is measured and chosen carefully so let's read this message together at the end of our parsha the Torah tells us that actually less exactly sure exactly where it is in the parsha but in our parsha I think it's at the end so we have the the Shira a special Shira a song the Jewish people have sent sang many different songs perhaps the most famous one is us y'all share which they sang after they came through the sea there's another song which the Jewish people sang and that was at the end of their 40 years in the desert and this song was a song about the bear was about the the special well the Jewish people had water from throughout their 40 years in in the mid bar in the wilderness and the question that the measure comes to address is why are they singing this song now why are they with wait till the end of the 40 years why don't they sing it way back at the beginning so the message tells us that something different happens at the very end of their time in the wilderness involving the water involving the bear and as a result of that that was why they began singing as Yahshua saw hashira as ice then the people of Israel sang this song sure as ice never be safe our boy I'm Shana the measures tells us that this song was said at the end of the 40 years I've been arenít nada how many tequila's are born murali cursive can why if there why they singing a song now or why is it being written here now if if they've had this throughout the 40 years Anya has an additional male amen the measure tells us that we can we can see that from the fact that the the verses place this concept next to a different concept so many times it's or places to ideas next to each other there are per se sequential in order to teach us that there's a connection onion as energy la mala him who alkane yamir be safe from aluminum as valve Basu foe the verse previous refers to the the book of the Wars of Asha refers to a place via Vasu fo which they tasted explains the Magisters understanding to mean that that it's there's a reference back to something that happened all the way at the beginning of their time well miss su Fuzz reference to the song that they sang on yom tov when they came through the water Shakalaka - Burcu Isis vinnesa monopoly r9 at this point in time at the end of their 40 years when they were at the the the Nahal are known which was a river when they were on the edge of entering into the Land of Israel there were miracles that occurred there kinesin shot slambien so if they were comparable to the miracles that occurred when they left Egypt originally my Nissan shall not lay iron on the measure says what is the measure what is the I'm sorry what are the miracles that were done there are not they are no so the manager tells us something very interesting and very deep if we understand what it's talking about autumn I made a Harsha Madera and Kaveri bahasa Ravi - Shiva melon your two mountains that stood opposite each other each on either side of this river called enough knuckle are known okay now these mountains were actually close enough that a person standing on the top of one mountain and another person on top of the other man and they could speak to each other they could hear each other they were close enough okay however in order to get from one to the other you had to pass through the valley and that that distance was seven mil which was a certain distance which wasn't very close Adara Theodotus ha ha Ahava ila you had a valley between the two mountains and in the middle of the valley he was like the Grand Canyon there was a river running through that area dr. Chasseur levar burton aha now the Jewish people's path should have brought them through that na hell through that Canyon area now because the nations of the world knew that miss kau kau Mai /aa maka loosen Shane ahem safe a tremendous amount of people from the nations of the world perhaps people from the nations of Canaan gather there in order to stop the Jewish people many many hi Ali many soldiers gathered there in order to stop the Jewish people now very interesting yeshua makes awesome botanical some of them sat inside of the river inside the canyon inaho Mila Milano Samaras nagging MREs Harsha can I do su Salam Salam Keegan should I'm very interestingly you had these two mountains that were opposite each other okay now one mountain looked like this amount what it was it was like a cave on the inside okay and then on the other side the mountain look like this it was sticking out such that you can imagine that one could the mountains could stick into each other now what people did was some of these soldiers in order to stand above the Jews in order to attack them from above so they stood inside of the Mara they said inside of the cave so one side was sticking out and one side was was a crevasse in elevation and the column the there were protrusions on one side so so it's very interesting the protrusions were sticking out we're going to see that they were sticking out from the side of artist Ralph from the side of Israel the side of Israel stuck out another side stuck in okay very interesting necklace waka Lucinda telomerase the soldiers entered into the caves are okay share these relative Hanako aloo onion the flame should be taken out how a little madam in arts and Argos Coulomb so we're gonna trap them that's what they that's what they said we're going to trap them those soldiers are going to be in saya and block them from passing and then the soldiers who are above will be able to to kill them will kill them all game and shakiest ROI San Marco so now what happened was Hashem of course was protecting the Jewish people but he made an awesome miracle what was the miracle the miracle was many-fold first miracle cam show you so listen welcome lee hee-ho malayalam item and an alcohol they got to the top of this of this precipice this Canyon but coach Bob who made a miracle happened that instead of them having to go down into the canyon and then come back up instead what happened was they the the mountains came together okay Allah Rama's the harm even Nikolas who should i Michelle has a litter Morris who Mesa Coulomb what happened was the two mountains came together this is a side of artists row which was sticking out there was a protrusion this was decide where they were staying inside of these caves the two sides came together formed a block such that the Jewish people could easily pass over between one side and the other okay a necklace to show them shall has a latecomer art assume it's a cool so the protrusion stuck out into the caves and all the people who were inside the caves died all of those soldiers you keep away are in regimes ellezi and the two mountains reached their heads over to each other an acid Erica Busha villain Ida is a harness Mahavira it wasn't even obvious that there were two mountains that were that were sticking next to each other it just looked like one path that's all the Jewish people experienced they didn't even realize that they were saved from all these soldiers who wanted to kill them wait so now Kyle masak been to Merritt Israel Lumiere it's my off this is a river which is on the border between Land of Israel in the land of Moab Shanna murky Arnon Guevara Bay meibomian Emery as a verse says in verse 13 that this this river the Arden River is the border between Marvin amore l'amore were living inside of Israel okay now harsh merits Mullen is dasa shibai amorous so as we said on one side there were caves which was the sign of Koontz Lars outside of Israel the other side there was a protrusion from from the other side of the mountain the side with the cave didn't move well the sign of extra the line of Israel that that mountain moved over to the side of huts Lawrence okay Mijares Anasazi boy a slum kim inchul diam that had the protrusions the Nesmith Maharshi connecting and it pushed itself right up next to the mountain that was that was a opposite now very interesting so how did the measure says had how do we know that it was air to straddle the mountains Marie shall stuck themselves out towards hooks laureates when imagine his dad's in the missionaries he starts from Lion of Israel marshal Ashoka so this is analogous to a shift cross for us a better than a bellboy it's like you have a maidservant she sees that the child of her master is coming cuffs of the kid might say the cobalt a so as soon as she sees that she runs out to greet him and she picks him up and she brings him in the same way our seesaw is as it were we need to understand this shift God is like the the main servant of the Jewish people it's digging yourself out in order to receive the Jewish people that they should be able to walk right into the Land of Israel okay now so I want to understand before we continue I want to just point out the question what is the understanding here of the idea that there's this protrusion it's protruding from the land of Israel - outside of Israel and it sticks itself out in order to receive the Jewish people I want to send the depth of that what is the magician trying to say with that and we'll come back to that question but let's read on in the measure really just a beautiful measures nemesis lanatech morris Mitsuko a son he born as we said the one mountain protruded out and crushed all those mighty warriors that were inside of the cave on the other side okay Baba air yard you latech Hanako now it's very interesting so what happens so the Jewish people aren't even aware of the fact that they were just saying they don't know that these soldiers were out to get them the bit air goes down the bit air right remember we started speaking about the the special water we're talking about the Shira CeBIT air the song the Jewish people sang wanna say why were they singing the song now there's a special song that they sang for the well of water which they had throughout the forty years because this is this is the key point here the major tells us that the water from that well went down into the not Hall into the river that was underneath his this Canyon miss Cabarrus chum the waters got stronger and stronger there beep Dukakis in cadets even is somehow young interestingly so the ones that were in the cave they were killed when the two mountains came together the ones that were down inside the valley in the river they were killed because the air came and swept them away in the same way that I Dom tzuf the waters had swept away the Egyptians a cocky koshevoy Basu fell inoculate r9 that's how he had the connection of youngsil so over here to the Naha are known to this river as the jewish people were coming in obvious relation are Vallejo do colonies al-hilal ooh so now the Jewish people pass through they passed over these two mounds that came together they didn't realize that they were safe from the soldiers didn't even realize perhaps but they were mountains here you can't even tell that they were mountainous of him as we mentioned a for America - work of irony my dear LaVon I cannot lose anybody to him I want them to know God says I want the Jewish people to understand what was what happened here what they what was the soldiers that were killed yard ibailo a cinema race the well goes down into this so comes it sweeps away the people who were down in the valley then the water comes up to the caves but Co guhl guhl EEOC's Rosaura blanching and I'll take care and it takes out all of these many the the body parts of the many soldiers that were there that were that were ready to kill the Jews who were killed they themselves were killed the the soldiers the bear brings them out because of the packages of the hair the Jewish people go back and they they they want to see the well where's the well they need the water right the ROIs oh sure he joins some allow me to come a-knockin and see how a form of horn and they see that the water is coming up from the valley from the precipice and it's bringing with it all of these limbs I mean I in Shaba arrow you have a hand should never measured on the column so you see that the water went down into the column into the into the spring that was below me Shawn Bay or the next verse says and from there they went to the air from there the waters came out the water of the well came out commissioned Eliza what do you mean was it from there the well the measure should say well let me tell you I survived ashore now I remember the well was with them thought for the entire times anyway what do you is what does it mean we shamba era this comes to teach us well sure you are enough Artemis I need to know what I went down to inform the Jewish people to bring up so that they should be able to see what had happened or you saw only monahon la I'll leave it air I know La Mirada the Jewish people are standing near the edge watching the waters come up and saying come up waters they sang this song come up waters and they sang this song because they recognized the salvation that they had experienced they recognized that had kodesh for who had saved them not only had he made their path easy to pass over these mountains but as I'm also protected them from the soldiers who wanted to hurt them who wanted to cause their downfall so it's an amazing thing first of all you know I think if we think about it the measure she's telling us that this song really should have been sung all the way back when this song should be sent the beginning of the 40 years measures tells us that this song was sung specifically now for a different reason than we would have thought it wasn't just because of the well it was because there was a recognition through the waters of the well of the miracle that God had performed for the Jewish people in saving them so it's very interesting that the measure shows assumption at the beginning is that they should be singing this song at the beginning when they received the water but clearly the Magister is teaching us something very deep that there's a specific occasion when we sing a song when do we sing a song we don't just necessarily sing a song when we're enjoying something that God is constantly providing for us right the waters I've shown gave us over the 40 years we didn't sing a song yet it was when the water is revealed to us an amazing miracle when we experience a miracle when we we recognize something that Hashem is doing for us and we don't even realize it that's when we sing a song that's when we sing a song about the waters and and I you know as I'm speaking I'm thinking that you know it's easy for us take for granted provides for us the shaman is giving us everything that we need a Shem gives us what are that we need to drink he gives us the food that we need to gives us a roof over our heads and yet the message is telling us that it seems to be saying that when do we notice the names what do we notice the miracle it's only you know when do we sing a song we sing only minutes a miracle when we when there's an outstanding merkel but what about singing for for the daily miracles and I think the message is telling us that that we recognize at this point what I would ask the question a different way why is it indeed a sham could have showed us this miracle in many different ways like Rome could have made the the mountains part again and then the Jewish people are standing at the edge they can see looking down when it happened they can see all of the bodies why did it have to happen through the water specifically and I think that the idea here is that that I could eat broccoli showing us that there's two parts here there's the miracle of being saved which is an outstanding unbelievable miracle but then there's the daily miracle and Shem is showing us specifically through the waters which we received every single day which we didn't necessarily perceive as an awesome miracle Shem is showing us this amazing miracle so that we can recognize the amazing miracle which is a daily miracle which is that Hashem is sustaining us each and every day and giving us water giving us food giving us all of our needs giving us everything that we have in our lives so I believe that's that's one message here of the Madras now another point which we mentioned earlier which is also amazing and powerful is that the the measures refers to the fact that there is a protrusion there was a protrusion sticking out from the side of our - Sorrell or the mountain on style verities fell to the Matara to the cave on the side of of huts Lars outside of Israel and what I wanted to understand is why is the protrusion on the side of Israel why wasn't it specifically on the side of huts Lodz and we also see that there's a sticking out as we said actually so sticks itself out Iran to receive the Jewish people what is the idea behind that as well and I was thinking that just the simple the simple idea of these two mountains being across from each other and one man is sticking yourself out into the other side it's a Australis that's the protrusion sticks out towards the side of hoods Lodz and the word that's used here is shad I'm which is a reference which is the word Sodom is a is it's a protrusion but it's specifically protrusion of the part of the of the female body which gives you Nika gives sustenance to the woman's baby okay so it's representative of the fact that Eretz Israel gives sustenance it sticks out as it were to cut slots and keep sustenance to cut slots you know I am here sitting in the Land of Israel sharing with you dear a Torah and in a certain sense I'm sticking myself out and I'm extending myself understanding words of Torah to you wherever you are you might be outside of Israel might be in Israel but the idea is that the sword can meet cnt2 Tyra and we have an idea that the the the Torah comes spiritual sustenance comes into the world Shem sends the Scheffer down into Israel and it comes out to the entire world and that's been hinted to over here and I think it's profound that when does that occur how does it occur when is the spiritual sustenance reach out destroy interestingly destroy those who are the enemies of the Jewish people it reaches itself out as the Jewish people are coming into the Land of Israel because the Land of Israel is a shift car plan of Israel is like a maidservant to the Jewish people it's the place where the Jewish people can serve Hashem it is the vehicle through which clozaril has the ability to serve a chef in the ultimate way so when the Jewish people come into Israel Israel sticks itself out to receive them but in another sense Israel also sticks itself out in order to provide sustenance to put slots to all those places outside of Israel and how does it occur when the Jewish people come into Israel the Jewish people are committed to our spirituality we cause the spirituality to be spread out to the entire world it's not limited to us but rather when we do what we're supposed to do when we are trying to serve em in the proper way the result is number one the spiritual sustenance goes out to the entire world number two our enemies are just we don't even know about it at number three we get to recognize that coach for who's doing miracles God is performing awesome spectacular miracles for us and number four we get to recognize that the miracles that are occurring for us every day are also awesome miracles so I want to bless you and ask you to bless me I should help us then we should be able to recognize first to recognize the daily miracles shimshi also show us the awesome unusual miracles that he's doing for us a chef should help us then we should be able to be a reason a source for spirituality should flow through us and out into the world whether it's whether it's where no matter where we are whether we're in Eretz you sir on the line of Israel whether we're in whose lives we should always be somebody who's able to provide spiritual sustenance to others thank you so much for listening have wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you for more podcasts like
